Educational Work ■ A m o y Girls’ School— (In charge of Miss Lily Duryee, Miss Mary Talmage, Mrs. Herman Renskers, Miss Edna Beekman.) The year 1919 has again seen an increase in the n u mb e r of pupils in the school. There were 302 enrolled in the Spring term and 289 in the autumn. A class of 15 was graduated in June with interesting gradua­ tion exercises, which m e a n a great deal to the girls. Five of these graduates have come back for Middle (or High) School work, a Middle School having just been added to the school course. O n e has gone to N a nking to continue her studies there, one is teaching in the L o n d o n Mission Girls’ School in Tingchow, four are teaching in Chinese Church Schools and three are teaching in our o w n A m o y school. T h e fifteenth is studying in her o w n rich heathen h o m e in the city of A m o y . She m u c h wished to become a confessing Christian and to unite with the Church, but her father refused his consent although he allows her to attend the Church services on Sunday.

♦ O n furlough, 1920. fin America. ' T h e school has a native staff of 14 Chinese young w o m e n teachers, all of them former pupils of the school, and 4 m e n teachers of w h o m 3 have given only part time. O n e of these, w h o has been in the school for fourteen years, is leaving this year as he feels he is growing old and wishes to be near his family who live in Chinchew. It will be difficult to fill his place. T h e missionary staff has had a welcome and valuable addition in Miss E d n a Beekman, w h o c a m e from Tong-an in July to take up w o r k in the A m o y school. T h e n e w covered drill-ground has been constantly used and is a great help in the w o r k of the school. M o r e and larger class rooms are greatly needed with the increased n u mb e r of pupils in the school and with the enlarged curriculum. Miss Duryee speaks especially of the need of an Assembly r o o m for the younger children, w h o n o w meet for morning prayers in the upper veranda of the Van Houghton Memorial building, the lower floor of which is used for class rooms. A school uniform has been adopted for church wear or whenever the school goes anywhere in a body. This was done to foster the wear­ ing of inexpensive dress and to avoid the distinction between rich and poor in the matter of garb as well as to prevent anyone’s saying that the pupils of the school “had” to dress expensively. T h e uniform consists of a blue coat and black trousers cut in ordinary Chinese fashion, the cloth for the coat being the ordinary blue cotton-cloth w o r n everywhere in China and the black trousers being m a d e of any material preferred. T h e y also have a school pin, a silver star with the n a m e of the school engraved in Chinese characters upon it. This can only be w o r n by the six upper classes and doubtless serves to arouse in the minds of the younger girls a desire to remain in the school long enough at all events to wear the pin! C a n ’t you imagine the procession of three hundred girls marching demurely to Church on a Sunday morning in their neat, trim little blue and black coats and trousers, their bright colored shoes and stockings and the gay hair ribbons which tie the universal braid furnishing the “eternal feminine” touch? S o m e difficulties and hindrances have beset the w o r k of the school during the past year. A R o m a n Catholic school which gives free tuition has been opened in the neighborhood and has drawn away a few pupils. A very great cause for regret has been the attitude and w o r k of the Seventh D a y Adventists, whose missionaries have for some time been working in A m o y . These earnest but mistaken people put forth their utmost effort to win to their sect those w h o are already. Christians and one of our teachers whose father had joined them has left us and been rebaptized by them. T w o of our former pupils n o w studying in Nanking, already members of the Church, have also been rebaptized. Miss Duryee asks our prayers that this falling away m a y not continue. But while difficulties and hindrances do sometimes loom rather large in the foreground, there is always m u c h to comfort and encourage, not only in the vigorous and successful w o r k being carried on in the school at present, but in the constantly recurring testimony of the past. S o m e years ago a girl of twelve entered the school. She came from a village on the mainland not very far from A m o y and from a purely heathen family. Like most other children in this and other lands she had her good and her bad “spells,” but at last, just w h e n her father decided that he needed her at home, she came out very brightly as a Christian. During the past year the ladies in the school learned that she had married into a heathen family and had gone to live in Malaysia with her husband who, however, did not oppose Christianity. Recently her father-in-law sent a small s u m of m o n e y to Miss Duryee as a present to the teachers and pupils saying that it must be a very good school with excellent teachers to have trained up for him such a very good daughter- in-law. T h e girl herself sent at the same time for so me Christian books and tracts. N e xt year the school celebrates its fiftieth b irthday and the teachers hope to have a reunion of old pupils and s o m e suitable exercises in commemoration of the event. A s the school is overcrowded and needs at least two additional class rooms it was thought that this would be a good time to send out letters to former pupils telling of the need and asking for contributions from one dollar upwards. A b out 250 such letters have been sent out and the s u m of nearly $900 has already been received. T h e replies sent with the gifts s h o w continued interest in the school and considering the small m e ans of most of the givers it shows a great willingness to help. W e talk proudly of our “O n e D a y Income” giving at home, but so me of these Chinese donors gave nearly two months’ income! Besides this sum given by the Chinese “a few special friends of the school” have given $645, so that they have raised in China a s u m of over $1,500 with which to build these extra class rooms. It does not need a very vivid imagination to suggest w h o these “few special friends” were. Miss Duryee concludes her report of the school with these w o r d s : “W h e n I think of the well equipped schools at h o m e our needs seem manifold, but after all the real efficiency of a school does not consist in material equipment. W e need your gifts, but w e need still m o re your prayers that this school m a y be the m eans of bringing the Gospel to those w h o are in darkness, for the upbuilding of the Church of Christ, in China, that the n a m e of the Lord Jesus Christ m a y be in every thing magnified.” The Charlotte Duryee W o m e n ’s Bible School— (In charge of Miss K. M. Talmage.) Miss Talmage writes that the year has passed very quickly and that goodness and mercy have followed them throughout all its months and days. There has been no serious illness in the school notwithstanding that cholera and plague and other diseases have been all around them. Still more remarkable does it seem that with so many women from non-Christian and “heathen” homes living together under one roof, there has been little or no stealing or quarreling! T h e enrollment for the year was eighty-two, that for the autumn term being larger than that for the spring because there was fighting in the A m o y region and several w o m e n ca me to study thinking that Kolongsu was a safer place to be in than their o w n homes. O n e woman with her daughter and daughter-in-law came who would not have c o m e had they not felt their o w n h o m e to be unsafe. This w o m a n had seldom been out of her home village and though the men of her family had become Christians neither she nor her daughter had ever attended Church and they still clung to their idols and their ancestral worship. T h e mother and especially the daughter became m u c h interested in Christianity and in learning to read and write. In the n e w year they all c a me again to the school to study and stayed until unavoidable circumstances called them home, w h e n the daughter, w h o had become an earnest Christian, removed from the house all the idols and ancestral tablets and all traces of heathenism, saying triumphantly: “N o w w e are clean I” A m on g the pupils at the beginning of the year was one who gave especial cause for joy and thanksgiving. She c a m e from a heathen family and knew nothing of Christianity except that it was “spoken against.” She did not wish to be a Christian. After being in the school for several weeks her attitude changed. T h e H o l y Spirit began a w o r k in her heart and she did not resist Hi m. Unfortunately she could not finish her term’s work, however, for her husband became ill and in a few weeks died leaving her a w i d o w at the age of twenty years. W h e n school re-opened the next term she w a s anxious to continue her studies but her brother-in-law was m u c h opposed to her' remaining in the school and insisted on her staying with her husband’s people. Their home was far from any Church and where she could meet with no Christians. She said w h e n she left for this h o m e that she feared she could not be a Christian in such surroundings, but although she had been only a few months in the school she had learned to read and write and in this w a y was able to keep in touch with her teachers. H u m a n l y speaking it seemed impossible for her to keep her faith. H e r brother-in-law wished to sell her to a heathen. Just w h e n her case seemed most hopeless her. father suddenly had his heart opened and he arranged that she should come back to the school. She told Miss Talmage that she had prayed continually for. this and that even while she was in the sedan chair being carried along the road over the mountains she prayed without ceasing, fearing that her husband’s relatives might in so me w a y hinder her coming back to the school. O n the first of January she with four other w o m e n w a s baptized and received into the Church. Five other w o m e n in the school have also been baptized dur­ ing the year. Indeed the evangelistic influence in this school is so strong and effectual that one hardly knows whether it should be listed under “educational” or “evangelistic” work! The two forms of missionary activity certainly go hand in hand here! During the year 35 w o me n and girls from heathen homes have come into the school and most of these have given proof that they desire to become Christians. It was found after a short time that one of these w o m e n was secretly using opium, which made her unfit for study. She was sent to the hospital to be cured. It was a hard fight as m a y be imagined. H e r mother c a m e to the hospital to visit her and seeing h o w miserable she was, determined to take her away. It was only by much persuasion that she w a s induced to leave her daughter in the hospital until a cure was effected. In a m o n t h ’s time she was able to return, to the school, where she tried hard to learn to read and where she presently became very m u c h interested in the Bible stories, reading them over and over “to really understand them” as she said. She says she never intends to take opium again but her husband is an opium smoker and so, as Miss Talmage says: “It will be difficult.” In N o v e m b e r a heathen w o m a n from the island of Q u e m o y applied for admission. She said she had been waiting for a good while to find so me one to introduce her and at last she found the Bible w o m a n , w h o brought her to the school. After promising to come she went away and did not return for m a n y days, so that it w a s thought she had changed her mind. It developed that all this time she w a s trying to persuade her relatives to let her have her box of clothing. Finally she c a m e a w a y without it, bringing with her her fourteen year old daughter. S o m e friends in A m o y lent them s o me clothes and soon both mother and daughter were diligently at work reading the N e w Testament. The mother seemed hungering and thirsting for the Word of God. One day w h e n reading one of the Bible stories she remarked that it was “m o r e interesting than a theatrical play.” Another day w h e n the Bible w o m a n was praying with her she asked if she might' not pray herself. M a n y of these w o m e n are seeking after G o d and they are finding H i m in spite of ridicule and persecution. M a n y of them, though staying but a few months in the school, have gone on with their reading and study­ ing in their h o me s and in spite of difficulties have c o m e out on the L o r d ’s side. „ T h e expenses of ihe W o m e n ’s Bible School for the year have been $946, the greater part of which s u m has been met by fees received from the w o me n , leaving only $211 to be paid by the W o m a n ’s Board. Could m o n e y be spent in any better w a y than in trying to lead these w o m e n out of darkness into light? Children’s H o m e — (In charge of Miss M. E. Talmage.) Miss T a l m a g e writes: “W e m o s t heartily thank the friends in A m e r i c a for the contributions through the W o m a n ’s Board for the support of this institution. It is now thirty-two years old and through all the years our Father in H e a v e n has used it for the training and saving of His little ones.” T h e H o m e closed the year with seventeen girls under its shelter and two other half-orphan children partially supported by it. A t the beginning of the year the oldest girl, w h o had been in the H o m e ever since her fourth year w h e n in 1900 her parents both died of plague, was married to a y oung Christian teacher. T h e y have both continued teaching ever since and the marriage seems to have proved in every way a suitable and happy one. The second in age, who was left an orphan in 1905 at the age of eight years and c a m e to the H o m e at that time, has been teaching throughout the year in the Tong-an Girls’ Boarding School. She has lately become engaged to a young Christian business m a n and expects to be married sometime in the spring or s u m m e r of 1920. A girl w h o years ago ju mp e d d o w n a well to avoid a beating from the woman who owned her and in consequence had to have her leg amputated, has had her wish for an artificial leg granted. Accustomed during all these years to walking with a crutch, she finds her m u c h coveted n e w leg rather difficult to m a n a g e but she is very thankful for it, nevertheless. She is n o w a very faithful little student in the Middle School. T h e youngest m e m b e r of the H o m e joined it last summer. She w a s forsaken by her people, w h o left her one day in the tall grass of the W o m a n ’s School garden. H e r cries soon attracted the attention of the w o me n , .who found that she was a little blind child just learning to talk. No trace could be found of those who had brought her. She appeared to be a child w h o had had so me care but w h o on becoming blind had been cast off by her parents. S h e ’ was at once taken to the hospital to see if her blindness could be cured but her case was hopeless. T h e H o m e committee then engaged a capable young Christian w o m a n to care for her. This w o m a n is a w i d o w left with four children and without any means of support. T w o of her four children are those referred to in this report as being “partially supported” by the H o m e . Th ey live at h o m e and c o m e as day pupils to the school. T h e little blind child is very happy in this family and is loved by the. children, w h o look upon her as belonging to them and frequently bring her to the H o m e for inspection. T h e children of the Sunday School which is held in the Girls’ School give their pennies for the support of this little blind child and take not a little interest in her and in the little garments which are m a d e for her and paid for by their pennies. T h e H o m e frequently receives visits from former H o m e children who come back to it with their children. There is a very strong “H o m e ” tie existing between all the children of the H o m e . T h e hus­ band of one of the former “children,” w h o had been supporting his family very comfortably by teaching in one of the Mission Boys’ schools, was suddenly taken last spring with hemorrhage of the lungs, which m a d e it necessary for h i m to drop all w o r k for months and go a w a y for his health. His wife and her two children c a m e back at once to the H o m e as to their natural refuge and soon she w a s making herself very useful as a teacher until the time w h e n her husband should be able to w o r k again. Miss Talmage writes: “A s always w e want your constant prayers for these children, for those w h o are n o w in the H o m e and for those w h o have gone out from it into ho mes of their ow n to rear children of their own.” Chiang-chiu Girls’ School— (In charge of Miss Morrison.) T h e w o r k in this school has g o n e o n steadily and successfully throughout the year. O n e hundred and five pupils have been on the roll during the progress of the two terms and Miss Morrison has had her hands m o r e than full. " C o m m e n c e m e n t ” was held in the Girls’ School building on June 20th, w h e n six girls were graduated in the higher grade and the same number in the lower grade . Several girls in the lower grade w h o would have graduated dropped out of school before the final day and one of the higher grade girls failed to m a k e up her deficiencies in arithmetic, which is no m o r e popular apparently with Chinese than with American girls, though a few of the Chinese girls are very clever at it. At one time it looked as though Miss Morrison might have to close the school suddenly without any closing exercises as she was obliged to do last year, for a w e e k or two before the end of the term Chiang-chiu experienced one of its frequent panics. This was the result of a sudden uprising of a secret society which had for its head an old m a n who came down from his home in a mountain cave and proclaimed himself a sort of genie, invulnerable to shot and shell. H e claimed to be able to make anyone who used his magic also safe from injuries and soon he had a large following of village m en w h o m he led to Chiang-chiu with the av ow e d intention of taking the yamen and killing the Cantonese officials. Before they had reached the yamen, however, the Cantonese soldiers had their machine guns in action and the result proved that the old m a n ’s claims were worthless. M a n y were killed or taken prisoners and the villages from which the m e n ca me were severely punished. Although the affair was over in a day or two there w a s m u c h r u mo r of m o r e trouble and m a n y of the former pupils of the school, now young married women, did not dare venture out. The com­ m e nc e m e n t exercises went off well, however, without interruption and it was possible to have them in the chapel, which would not have been large enough had there been m a n y visitors. Each class had its class song and each girl of the higher grade had an essay, one of which w a s written in Mandarin. There were several songs by the Christian Endeavor Society, which included all of the graduates, and s o m e of the smaller pupils sang motion songs. Three of the higher grade girls remained in the school during the second term as teachers or assistants, another went to A m o y to teach in a Church school and still another became a teacher in the kindergarten. T h e head teacher, w h o has been in the school for eight years and has done fine work, is to leave at the end of this term to accept a position in a government girls’ school where she will receive a m u c h higher salary than our schools can afford to give. H e r place will be filled by the second teacher, w h o was for six or seven years a pupil in the school and then went to the A m o y school from which she graduated, returning then to the Chiang-chiu school as a teacher. She has been very faithful and competent in that position for four or five years and is a very earnest Christian, taking great interest in her work. H e r husband has a decided talent for drawing and painting and gives lessons twice a w e e k to so me of the older pupils, several of w h o m under his instruction are doing very good work. Mrs. Veenschoten has given singing lessons to the girls and also organ lessons to several of the older pupils. These lessons are very m u c h appreciated by the girls and m o r e are hoping to be taken on as pupils next year. There are n o w two free government schools in Chiang-chiu as well as two kindergartens. Four of the former pupils of our girls’ school are teaching in these government schools. Although they are not permitted to give religious instruction they yet have a great opportunity to let their light shine. T h e school has been blessed throughout the year with practically perfect health. M a n y of the girls have added to their weight and have increased in strength and vigor owing no doubt to the regular hours for sleep, w o r k and recreation. Miss Morrison writes that they are brighter, m o r e alert and take m o re interest in their studies and tasks and that so me of them “even enjoy the calisthenics 1” T h e great need of the Chiang-chiu Girls’ School is for increased accommodation. T w o and sometimes three classes recite at the same time in the large assembly r o o m which, after all, is not so very large! T w o classes recite in the dining-room and the other small class rooms are very over-crowded. One of the downstairs rooms in Miss Morrison’s own house has been turned into a class room and she has to use it also frequently for Bible study classes and for examinations, which she feels is a pity because she prefers to be in the school where the regular w o r k is going on. T h e W o m a n ’s Board recently voted the s u m of $1,200 to enlarge the Girls’ School building but before the m o n e y could be sent out the cost of building materials and exchange had gone up so high that several thousand dollars m o r e are needed. ■ Chiang-chiu Kindergarten— The Kindergarten which, owing to Miss Norling’s return to America, was closed in the au tu m n of 1918, was re-opened in February, 1919, in the building belonging to the Chinese Church. T h e consistory has kindly loaned this building for several years but it is small and inconvenient and quite unsuited to the needs of the kindergarten. O n e of the great disappointments of the past two or three years has been that owing to the increased cost of building materials and to the great loss in exchange since the war, the m o n e y which the W o m a n ’s Board gave several years ago to build a n e w kindergarten build­ ing has n o w become entirely inadequate for the purpose. W h e n the m o n e y was first given the unsettled condition of the country and the constant fighting between the North and the South prevented the i m ­ mediate erection of the building. N o w it has become absolutely impos­ sible to erect it except at a very greatly increased cost. T h e kindergarten children have numbered about forty each term, about one-third coming from non-Christian homes. These h omes are visited by the missionary and Bible w o m e n and in a very short time the mothers, aunts, grandmothers and other relations of the children are seen making their w a y into the Church and Sunday School bringing the children with them. T h e kindergarten was fortunate in securing the services of a very excellent teacher w h o was trained in the English Presbyterian Mission in Amoy. She did excellent work, winning the love and confidence of the little ones, w h o very evidently m u c h enjoyed their kindergarten. T w o of the older children will enter the Mission school next term and a large n u mb e r of n e w pupils was expected to enter after the N e w Year holidays. A t the close of the term the children gave a public entertainment in the Church consisting of motion songs, marches, ring drill and recitations and this attracted a large audience and served to happily advertise the kindergarten. O n Christmas morning the children sang their happy songs and recited the story of the birth of the Infant Saviour and told h o w the Shepherds and the W i s e M e n c a me to worship Hi m. A short talk w a s given telling of the love of G o d that gave us the Lord Jesus Christ to be our Saviour and w h e n the children were asked what they could give H i m in return to sh ow their love several of the little ones responded, “W e can give our hearts.” Tong-an Girls’ School— (In charge of Miss K. R. Green.) The Tong-an Girls’ School re-opened after the Chinese N e w Year with an increased nu mb e r of pupils. There were 87 girls enrolled of w h o m 13 were day pupils. The number of the latter is gradually grow­ ing, which is a significant sign of the greater freedom that little girls are enjoying in being allowed to walk about alone and which also indicates that the desire for education is developing in this neighborhood. T h e big task of re-roofing the front veranda has been accomplished, adding greatly to the comfort of the pupils as well as preserving the rest of the building from the d a m a g e done by the continual leaking and subsequent rotting of the beams and boards. Great relief has been experienced by the missionary in charge of the school in having at last a doctor in Tong-an. W h e n in the early part of the au tu m n one of the girls contracted typhoid fever, Dr. V a n d e w e g ’s presence in the station w a s a matter for deep gratitude. In June eight girls graduated from the school, six of w h o m went to A m o y to continue their studies. This is the largest n u mb e r ever sent to A m o y at any one time and is a distinct encouragement because it shows a decided growth in the desire to obtain a higher education. M a n y of these girls will teach for a few years after graduation and so there will be a gradual expansion in the development of the lower primary schools. Six members of the graduating class decided to make an open con­ fession of their faith in the Saviour and just before their graduation they were received into the Church. This was a brave and resolute step for them to take; I wonder if w e at h o m e realize h o w m u c h it must have meant to them. W h e n Miss Beekman, who had been in charge of the school, was transferred in July to A m o y , Miss Green became the Principal. She writes as follows: "In spite of the ‘hard times’ there has been a steady advance in the am ou n t of fees collected. T h e s u m raised this "year is three and a half times as large as that raised ten years ago and it is about sixty dollars more than has been given in any previous year. This signal advance is in spite of the pressure of hard times throughout the whole Tong-an region. So notwithstanding our difficulties we have glad and thankful hearts and counting our blessings w e take courage to go forward.” Tong-an W o m e n ’s School— (In charge of Miss Edith Boynton.) T h e school re-opened in the first month of the Chinese year with the largest enrollment it has ever had. There were 30 boarding pupils— too m a n y altogether for the narrow sleeping quarters and so again the little Chinese house had to be borrowed for the overflow. Several of the w o m e n were day pupils, w h o are in m a n y ways easier to care for but are less regular in attendance because of h o m e duties and bad weather and so are not as satisfactory. However, the school welcomes all comers and gives to each as m u c h as she can absorb. T h e school has been blessed in keeping the same native teaching staff, Mrs. Li and Sister Choa-ti, w h o are devoted Christians and w o m e n of remarkable administrative ability. In July, w h e n Miss Green took over the Girls’ School from Miss Beekman, Miss Boynton became the Principal of the W o m e n ’s School. ■ M o s t of the pupils have been studying the Bible Story series, but those who could read fluently were also given the opportunity to investigate and study the Bible for themselves. A class in Old Testa­ ment Characters found it a fascinating w o r k to look up references and to discover for themselves the events in the lives of the heroes of old. Those w h o were able answered the questions in writing and so ad­ vanced in accurate portrayal of Bible history as well as in correct penmanship. T h e w o m e n w h o have learned to read are also taught Arithmetic. The more advanced pupils have been studying such books as Stalker's “Trial and Death” and “T h e Threefold W o r k of the Spirit,” and are really thinking about the meaning of Christian experience. Mrs. Hiat, one of the older pupils, has been preparing to become a Bible w o ma n . A s this preparation demands practical experience, she has been put in charge of the children’s meetings. A t first she had great difficulty in being simple and direct enough to reach the children but through constant help and supervision she has developed into a splendid leader for that important work. T h e other pupils of the school take turns in accompanying her to the meetings, which helps both them and her. - There are m a n y problems which beset the Principal of one of these w o m e n ’s schools:— “Is this w o m a n as poor as she says she is and should her fee be lessened? Does that yamen-official’s wife really want to study and has she her husband’s permission, as she says she has?” The Chinese mind often travels a devious path and it is sometimes difficult to discover the truth. But the seed is being sown. T h e “fold” lies with the Master. Sio-khe Girls’ School— (In. charge of Miss Leona Van der Linden.) There were 77 different names on the roll during the year. T h e amount of fees collected was nearly $90 m o r e than last year, which is a very encouraging sign w h e n w e r emember that the people in the Sio-khe district are not yet deeply interested in education for girls and that it is difficult to get from them even a small fee for that purpose. Parents w h o will willingly pay full board and tuition for a son in the boys’ school think that $5 a term is a tremendous s u m to pay for a daughter and they usually keep her at h o m e rather than expend such an amount. A t the beginning of the year the school lost Mrs. lap’s faithful services and to fill the vacancy, one of the Sio-khe girls w h o had graduated from the A m o y school w a s engaged. In June eight girls completed the lower primary grade and six returned to take up the higher primary course, from which w e see that the belief in the higher education for w o m e n is growing. Several former pupils of the school have been married during the year. Seven have been received into the Church. A m o n g those n o w in the school are several w h o are felt to be real Christians. T h e y need all the help and encouragement that can be given them for even the best h o mes offer little that is elevating. Occasionally the missionary hears that those w h o have gone out are letting their light shine and s o m e ­ times even that they are willing to suffer persecution for Christ’s sake, but m a n y times her heart is saddened because of so me girl whose conduct is not all that was expected. M o s t of these country girls co me to school for a year or for two at the best. M a n y c o m e for only one term. Nearly one-third of them are daughters-in-law w h o are to marry sons in the families where they live and where their time is taken up with work. T h e y have very little leisure to read their Bibles and very few have any spiritual help or encouragement outside of the school. But sometimes very gratifying reports of the girls reach the school. A child of ten was entered last spring for several terms and w h e n in September she did not return, inquiries were made. It was learned that her family had formerly considered her so naughty that they had sent her to the Sio-khe Girls’ School to have her conduct corrected, expect­ ing that the process of reformation would require several terms. A t the end of the first term, however, she was so greatly improved that they thought it unnecessary to send her back! Miss V a n der Linden reports for this school a year of happy, peace­ ful work, undisturbed by serious illness or trouble. She says it has been a joy to see the girls develop mentally and spiritually and that she is thankful for the wonderful opportunity she has to train them to know and to follow our Lord. Sio-khe W o m e n ’s School— (In charge of Miss Nellie Z w e m e r . ) Miss Zwemer has had during the year twenty-eight different women under her influence and instruction. Fo ur of these w o m e n are being trained as Bible w o m e n and are being prepared for this w o r k by giving two afternoons each w e e k to teaching the w o m e n in the nearby villages. S o m e of the w o m e n in the school were sent by Christian relatives to be taught; others c o m e from heathen homes. O n e of these first heard the Gospel years ago as Miss Zwemer was speaking to a crowd of heathen in the h o m e of one of the schoolgirls w h o lived in a village many miles from any Church. She longed to hear more but had no opportunity for many years. Sometime ago her husband left her to take the m a n a g e m e nt of a theatre in Canton, her children died and she ca me into the school to hear m o r e of this interesting Gospel which she had not forgotten in all the years. She had to brave m u c h opposi­ tion from her relatives but she was determined to come. She proved to be very bright and attentive but at first she w a s full of doubts. “It is beautiful,” she said, “but h o w do I k n o w it is true? It m a y be just a nice story.” She is trying hard to believe, prays m u c h and reads her Bible often, but she is not yet fully convinced. O n e day she came to Miss Zwemer and said: “What about the thousands in my district w h o have not even heard?” T h e W o m e n ' s School building is greatly improved by the extensive repairs and changes made possible by the generous gift of Miss M. O. Duryee. “With our new roof,” Miss Zwemer says, “we need not fear the rainy season, and the school-room which was so dark and dingy, having no light except through one glass door, now has two good w i ndows and with n e w paint is a cheerful place to w o r k in.”

Evangelistic W o r k A m o y — A m o n g the A m o y Churches and chapels are the follow­ ing illuminating n a mes— Foot of the Bamboos, N e w Street, River Side, Flourishing Clan, Creek Head, Bridge Head, Front of Village, Ba ck of Forest, Ascent to Fort, and Golden Door, names of the villages or streets where the Churches or chapels are situated. T o them c o m e m a n y times in the course of the year our missionaries and Bible wo me n . In them are held evangelistic meetings for both Christian and non-Christian w o m e n , by the Chinese Christian Bible w o m e n , m a n y of w h o m are graduates of our A m o y Girls’ School. . Eight of these Bible w o m e n have been working in A m o y and Kolongsu and Q u e m o y Islands during the past year. T h e y visit in the h o m e s of Christians and non-Christians alike, holding meetings in Churches and h omes and giving m u c h time to teaching the w o m e n and children to read, to pray and to repeat hymns. Connected with the A m o y Church are several “group classes” of w o m e n w h o meet at different h o m e s once a week' for prayer and to teach and be taught. T h e y gather together those ■ wh o are willing to come from neighboring houses and in this way many are taught to read the Bible and m a n y are brought into the Church. A s a result of these “group” meetings recently a whole family gave up their idols and became Christians. T h e y had to endure persecution from relatives and friends and to bear the reproach of being unfilial, than which nothing could be worse from the point of view of a people whose whole life is built up around the practice of ancestral worship. Every illness, , misfortune and calamity in the family w a s charged to their account. A w o m a n w h o heard one of the Bible w o m e n talking to a group about the sin of worshipping idols and the duty of worshipping God decided to discontinue her idol worship. W h e n a short time afterwards her little son died she had to face the charge from all her family of having killed h i m by angering the gods. A n d w h o shall say what doubts concerning her new-found religion must have assailed her o w n m i nd also. Chiang-chiu— During Miss Norling’s absence at home on fur- * lough evangelistic w o r k in the Chiang-chiu field has necessarily been confined to the Bible w o m e n and the Christian w o m e n in the different Churches. In the city of Chiang-chiu and the nearer villages Miss ' Morrison and the Bible w o m e n have met with a w a r m welcome wherever they have gone with their Gospel message. Many homes have been visited regularly and even w h e n the w o m e n have not had the courage to c o m e to the Church, they have learned to read the h y m n s and the Bible in the Romanized colloquial. W h e n they have learned to do that they can study and read by themselves and so can advance more rapidly than those w h o are dependent upon someone to teach them each n e w h y m n in the Chinese character. O n Sundays there is usually a large audience of quiet and attentive w o me n , m a n y of w h o m attend both services. A m o n g these are a good m a n y w h o are called “hearers,” s o me of w h o m have been coming to Church for years but Have not yet decided to accept Christ although they have given up the worship of idols and consider that they are obeying the “doctrine.” Others m a y have been coming only a few months but have already made their decision in favor of the new faith. One woman who has been coming m o r e or less regularly for so me years is middle-aged but has learned to read the colloquial very well.' She lives in a distant village of less than ten small m u d huts with a son w h o strongly opposes her coming to Church. One day Miss Morrison and the Bible woman visited this * » woman and found her ill with malaria in her small broken down hut in which, besides herself and her son, were residing a c o w and her calf, two goats, one or two pigs, a hen or two and a cat. She said she did not dare leave the animals outside lest the soldiers should steal them as they had done in many places near by. This woman has a long and lonely walk to church on Sundays and although she has not advanced very far in the Christian life, she must have a true desire to become a Christian or she would not continue her long walks in the face of her son’s opposition. W h e n e v e r these village w o m e n hear that the missionary or Bible w o m a n has c o m e they quickly gather in large numbers and although undoubtedly so me c o m e only out of curiosity, yet others have a real longing to k n o w about this n e w “doctrine.” T h e y listen eagerly and ask m a n y questions and the Bible w o m a n finds her time fully occupied in teaching them to read and study the Bible. Tong-an— The year opened in Tong-an with the usual New Year meetings in the various chapels from which, as centres, the groups of workers went out to teach and preach in the surrounding villages. There was m u c h greater readiness to listen this year than usual because of the wonderful way in which God had. taken care of the Christians during the troubled times w h e n the Northern and Southern soldiers were fighting each other around Tong-an. The Bible women here have done their work faithfully. One of them, Mrs. Pa, is with her husband in one of the villages where they are laying the foundations of a n e w congregation. Another, A u n t Be, is at Chioh-jim where besides doing regular visitation work, she is mother­ ing a newly established girls’ school. Mrs. T a u and A u n t C h h u have m a d e complete tours of the Tong-an and Hong-san chapels, staying in the various places several weeks at a time and visiting all the surrounding villages. M a n y m o r e Bible w o m e n are needed for this foundation w o r k of instructing, encouraging and establishing the n e w w o m e n w h o c o m e to hear the Gospel. This w o r k is valuable beyond all calculation. T w o of the w o m e n n o w in the W o m e n ’s School have declared their intention of taking up this w o r k as soon as they are prepared for it. T h e con­ tinued prevalence of bandits in the outlying districts has m a d e it difficult to visit the further stations but. during the time of the special evangelis­ tic campaign these were reached and some of them many times. A great m a n y n e w hearers have been added and a n u mb e r have been ad­ mitted to the Church. Sio-khe— In the Sio-khe field a good many women and girls have been taught to read the Bible. Monthly meetings in the villages have been held and many inquirers have been visited. Six Chinese Christian w o m e n have shared in this w o r k and a deeper spiritual effect has been produced than ever before. O n e of the A m o y pastors gave • a series of sermons in five of the Churches inspiring m a n y to a m u c h m o r e earnest service. A s one result of his visit a Christian Endeavor Society w a s organized with Miss V a n der Linden as its President. A t one of the outstations seven former pupils of the Girls’ School were baptized, w h e n the pastor gave the following testimony: “V e r y few except, those w h o have been in the w o m e n ’s and girls’ schools are ready for Church membership.” O n e of these seven women, after being in school only about a year, left to be married to a man to w h o m she had been betrothed as a child. She was the only Christian in an isolated mountain village but she kept up her Bible reading and prayer and consistently refused to worship idols. T h e n her father-in-law died and as she was the only daughter-in-law it devolved upon her to perform certain idolatrous rites. This she firmly refused to do. Her husband and relatives first pleaded with her; then they reviled her; then they beat her and tied her to a post, threatening to leave her there to starve. She remained firm and finally they had to release her to feed her baby. W h e n the pastor told Miss Z w e m e r this w o m a n ’s story he said: “W e usually feel it a risk to baptize women who are married to heathen husbands, but this woman has proved herself worthy.” Sunday Schools and Children’s Meetings— The Sunday Schools in China reach not only the children but all w h o attend Church. There is a good deal of interest in Bible study on the part of Church m e m b e r s and several large classes of w o m e n in the different stations are being taught by the missionaries and by Chinese Christian wo me n . It seems almost surprising to hear that a class of twenty w o m e n in Sio-khe are studying the B o o k of Daniel with Miss V a n der Linden and are taking a deep interest in it although there is so m u c h in it which they cannot understand. This class met in the Girls’ School building so as to have plenty of blackboard r o o m for notes which were all carefully copied into small notebooks so that they could study and look up references in their o w n rooms later. It was very gratifying as well as astonishing to find these w o m e n arriving early in the classroom, busy before the teacher’s arrival in quietly reading the chapters, looking up references and copying notes. Sometimes they have been found going over the last lesson again with each other in order to better understand it. It is not strange to hear that all have been helped spiritually and that all have gained a clearer conception of G od’s love, power and wisdom as well as learning h o w to study the Bible m u c h m o r e intelligently. Miss Z w e m e r has had another class of twenty w o m e n in a simpler study of Bible Talks translated by Miss M a r y Talmage. A class of ten young women has been preparing for Church membership. Other classes are taught by competent, consecrated young Chinese w o m e n w h o meet regularly to study the lessons and to pray for the scholars. Last January the first regular weekly meetings for ■ children were held, in a good place on a busy street in Sio-khe. About forty children ca me every week. Since then three other weekly meetings for children have been started in Sio-khe besides one in the hospital and one in an outlying village. A t the hospital they had 135 children one w e ek and they are regularly reaching a large n u mb e r in and around Sio-khe. Plans have been made to observe a Children’s Day in the Church when all the children of the various ■ classes would c o m e together and take part in the service, singing so me of the h y m n s they have learned. Children’s meetings have also been held in Tong-an with great success and certainly no w o r k could be m o r e effective or important in its after effects than that of reaching and training the very young in the knowl­ edge of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. ” T h e constant call is for m o r e workers not only to take the place of those who, having borne the burden and heat of the day, are n o w needing rest, but to press forward into the n e w North River district which is still waiting for us to go in and possess it. W h e r e are the young wo me n who responded so quickly, so bravely to their country’s call? A r e they less ready to serve their Lord than they were to serve their land? T h e R e d Cross called for recruits and they sprang up all over the country. Y o u n g w o m e n s w a r m e d to the service of the Blue Triangle. H a v e these a stronger appeal to the y o ung w o m e n of our Church than has the Cross of Christ? M ary E. A. C hamb e r l a in , Secretary for China. INDIA

INDIA

A land of lights and shadows intervolved, A land of blazing sun and blackest night, A fortress armed, and guarded jealously, With every portal barred against the Light. A land in thrall to ancient mystic faiths, A land of iron creeds and gruesome deeds, A land of superstitions vast and grim. And all the noisome growths that Darkness breeds. Like sunny waves upon an iron-bound coast, The Light beats up against the close-barred doors, And seeks" vain entrance, yet beats on and on, In hopeful faith which all defeat ignores. But— time shall come, when, like a swelling tide, The Word shall leap the barriers, and The Light Shall sweep the land; and Faith and Love and Hope Shall win for Christ this stronghold of the night. Oxenham. ♦ O n furlough, 1920. Jin America. THE ARCOT MISSION T h e Arcot Mission occupies 8,277 square miles, is about the size of N e w Jersey with a population of 2,701,385. For the bringing of all v these souls into the K i n g d o m of Jesus Christ the Refo r m e d Church in America is responsible, for no other Mission works in this field. - '

Women’s Work V E L L O R E (1854) History and Equipment— Vellore, the geographical center of the Mission, one of the three first stations to be settled, had for its first missionary Rev. H. M. Scudder, with Arcot as an out-station. There w a s already a small congregation under the care of catechists, chiefly m a d e up of servants of military officers connected with regiments at Vellore in charge of the Fort. T h e first Hi n d u Girls’ School was started in 1872 and the medical w o r k was advanced in 1902 by the establishment of the M a r y Taber Schell Hospital at that time. There are 3 H i n d u Girls’ Schools— Arasamaram, 170 pupils; Circamandy, 173 pupils; Velap- padi, 100 pupils. In Sunday Schools, 275 girls. There are 3 missionary r* residences and zenana w o r k under 11 Bible wo me n . T h e Hospital and Dispensary with 20 nurses in charge of Dr. Ida Scudder and Miss Houghton is used in connection with the Union Missionary Medical . School for Women, opened in 1918, the expense of which our Board shares with other Boards. Evangelistic— Mrs." M e s c h a c k Peter, in charge of the Bible w o me n , writes of the assembling of the eleven Bible w o m e n daily for prayer before starting for their visits to the h o mes and hospital. Syste- " matic instruction is given from selected lessons of the Old and N e w Testaments. Every month model lessons are given to the Bible women. For three months lessons from the S e r m o n on the M o u n t were taught m u c h to the satisfaction of the H i n d u and M o h a m m e d a n wo me n . “In connection with our visits to the h o me s w e went into the house of a w o m a n on the very day of her husband’s death. Pitiful w a s the sight of her son( eight years old, pleading with his mother not to j u m p into the well as she in her despair was attempting to do. In trying to convince her of her responsibility to her little boy, I told her of the devoted mothers on the ‘Titanic,’ who, for the sake of their children took to the boats without their husbands. A preaching band of Bible w o m e n w h o go weekly to the surrounding villages have been encouraged by the number of women anxious to be baptized. W e believe the Spirit of G o d is working in m a n y hearts.’’ Work in the Jail. Mrs. Cornelius writes: “H o w eagerly the women wait for our weekly visit! Many of them are sent to jail for stealing and they steal because they are so hungry and too poor to buy food. One woman said: ‘If God had not made m y stomach and given m e this appetite I would not be here.’ ” Social Service Society. It is hard to convince the old w o m e n that it would be better to let the young widows remarry than to be tempted to lead immoral lives. T o render m o r e help to these w o m e n the W o m a n ’s Social Service Society was organized in August, 1919, through the gener­ ous help of Miss D o d d . " An impressive reception was held to introduce the n e w society, at which was a large and distinguished gathering of Indian and European, Christian and non-Christian wo m e n of Vellore. M a n y of these ladies had helped to furnish the house and Government gave a small grant for this purpose. Lectures on health, domestic economy, care of babies, and magic lantern exhibitions will be given each month. Educational— Mrs. Hekhuis, in charge of the three schools, Arasamaram, Circamandy, and Velappadi, reports a m o r e successful year than ever. Freedom from influenza gave a new impetus to the work. Medical— * Dr. Ida Scudder writes: “T h e M a r y T a b e r Schell Hospital is n o w a part of the greater and m o r e responsible w o r k of the Union Medical School for W o m e n in South India. The instruc­ tion of our medical students in clinical medicine, surgery, and ob­ stetrics will be the important part of the w o r k of Schell Hospital. W e grieve that Dr. A. M . Macphail, w h o has been our strong support during the year, must return to her o w n hospital. Miss M a r y Samuel, as m y assistant professor in A n a t o m y and Dissecting, has given valuable help. Mrs. Macdonald, our Apothecary, has had charge of the out­ patients. O u r dispensaries are a most interesting sight— Brahmin w o m e n in their beautiful sarees and flashing diamonds, the poor villagers and the outcastes, and in the background groups of white-shrouded M o h a m ­ medans. T h e very sick are huddled on the floor— all waiting their turn. “Our Hospital has grown beyond its bounds. With a larger staff and accommodations for 200 beds we should come nearer serving the 137,000 people needing medical help within ten miles of Vellore.” The Hospital Babies’ Home. ' The formal opening of this long de­ sired H o m e for the Hospital children took place on January 8 in a little house back of one of the mission bungalows, all of the 20 children taking part in a varied program of singing and recitation. Dr. Scudder writes: “O u r greatest anxiety is that w e m a y g r o w too rapidly and will not be able to take in all w h o are brought.” The Union Missionary Medical College for Women. Dr. Scudder writes: “W e had over 90 applications for admission into the second year class but accepted 27 as w e must keep our classes small at present. Every one of the 14 first year students passed the Government-examina­ tions, and 4 passed in the first class. Miss Gertrude Dodd, as Treasurer, and Miss M a nn, as home - m a k er for the girls, have been of great service.” C H I T T O O R (1854) History a n d E q u i p m e n t — This station w a s first occupied b y Rev. W . W . Scudder. A church w a s organized in 1853 but the Boarding School for Girls was not established until 1861, and the building was not completed until 1866. In 1895 the N o r m a l School, which had been founded in Vellore in 1881, w a s transferred to Chittoor. T h e present equipment of the station is the Beattie Memorial N o r m a l Training School with 10 pupils; the M o de l School with 120 pupils; the Gridley H i n d u Girls’ School, 98 pupils; and in Sunday schools, 347 scholars.

• N O T E : Again the Arcot Mission has been honored by the British Govern­ ment in recognising the services of another of its members. Early in 1920 Dr. Ida Scudder was awarded the Kaiser-i-Hind medal. Evangelistic— Of the zenana work Mrs. Pandian writes: “Besides myself four Bible w o m e n are working in different parts of Chittoor. A b out 110 houses are open to our visits and 121 w o m e n are regularly instructed. T h e old w o m e n listen while the young w o m e n read. T h e y belong to different caste Brahmins and Sudras.” Educational— T h e Beattie M e mo r i a l has at last its n e w building. The opening took place on April 11, 1919, with a fine program and a large nu mb e r of H i n d u ladies and gentlemen in attendance. It provides accommodation for two classes, Junior and Senior, and the five grades of the M odel School. W h e n the Government Inspectress paid her annual visit she recommended that the Higher Elementary Boarding School and the M o del School be amalgamated. This has b«en done, which simplifies accounts. Mrs. Beattie adds: “W e have n o w on the staff of the M o de l School 2 trained kindergarten teachers and the little .children are happy, in school and out, dramatizing stories under the shade of the banyan trees, making pictures in the sand, and doing physical exercise out-of-doors. T h e influence and example of our effi­ cient Head-Mistress, Miss Perianayagam, and her assistant, Miss Samuel, are most valuable.” A R N I (1854) History a n d E q u i p m e n t — Rev. Joseph Scudder settled this sta­ tion. In 1861 the villages toward the south c a me over to Christianity. T h e H i n d u Girls’ School, established five years later, was obliged to close on account of severe opposition, but was opened again and today has 239 pupils. T h e school at Polur has 125 pupils, and 392 girls are in Sunday school. Zenana work is under 4 Bible women. Evangelistic— Mrs. Farrar writes: “W e are fortunate in having faithful Bible wo me n , for it is difficult to oversee and help them, living at Katpadi, with A m i 27 miles away. T h e four w o m e n teach the Gospel, reading, and sewing in more than 100 homes. W e are encouraged by such signs of improvement as this. One young woman refused to put the caste mark on her forehead and when her family insisted upon having a photograph taken, she quickly rubbed it off. A n ot h e r case is that of a rich y o u n g w o m a n w h o has t h ro w n a w a y her idols, w h o goes no more to sacred places to do ‘pooja,’ and has just confessed her faith in the living G o d. ”

P A L M A N E R (1859) History and Equipment— The first church was organized by Rev. Silas D. Scudder, M.D., in 1860. In 1872, at the earnest and repeated request of both the H i n d u and M o h a m m e d a n communities, backed by an initial subscription of R 1,700. Dr. Chamberlain established a dispensary and hospital and carried it on as a missionary institution, though its expenses were met by non-Christians and Government grants, until he left for America on account of ill health. A H i n d u Girls’ School with 99 pupils belongs to Palmaner as well as an Elementary School with 14 pupils. There are 85 girls in 3 Sunday schools. There is also a weaving establishment in the station. Educational— Miss J. C. Scudder has had a difficult school year. She writes: “T h e H i n d u Girls’ School began the year with 99 scholars but owing to the disloyalty of two of the teachers, the n u mb e r has been greatly reduced. T h e Elementary School has continued as usual! T h e children did well in their secular and Bible examinations and the majority are m e m b e r s of the Junior Christian Endeavor Society.” Miss Scudder and her'assistant, Miss Brown, take care of the zenana w o r k of this station. Industrial W o r k — Miss Scudder writes: “The weavers have been very busy and have turned out many pretty and durable sarees. There is quite a d e m a n d for them and w e can dispose of them as fast as they can be woven.”

M A D A N A P A L L E (1863) History a n d E q u i p m e n t — First occupied b y Dr. Jacob C h a m b e r ­ lain, this station on the Telugu plateau opened up a large and n e w field of work. A serious and successful surgical operation in -1869, with the daily Gospel diet of the patient and his attendant friends, was the means, under God, of the coming over to Christianity of a hamlet of M a la weavers, a m o n g the first of the villages in this station to embrace Christianity. In 1880 a Boarding School for Telugu girls was started and since 1894 has had H i g h School as well as elementary classes. There are 2 H i n d u Girls’ Schools with 156 pupils, and 218 girls are in Sunday school. M a r y Lott Lyles Hospital, a Tuberculosis Sanitarium,— a union institution— and a Nurses’ Training School are located here. Educational— Mrs. Van Wyk, who has recently returned from India, wrote of her sorrow in giving up the w o r k of supervising the Girls’ Schools, of her interest in watching the growth of s o me of the bright spirits. O f course the interrupted year because of influenza, had its effect, but that w a s in a measure offset by the n e w building with its spacious airy dormitory and classrooms. • Medical— Miss Josephine T e W i n k e l writes of the limited a c c o m ­ modations in the Hospital, and pleads for a n e w Nurses’ H o m e in connection with it. This additional building would enable them to accommodate 15 to 20 m o r e beds in the present nurses’ quarters and veranda. Dr. Hart and Miss Josephine TeWinkel have been much praised by Government officials for their methods of running the Hospi­ tal and Nurses’ Training School.

R A N I P E T T A I (1866) History and Equipment— Rev. Silas D. Scudder was given by the Government the small hospital and dispensary at this station and when the Mission had no medical man to devote to it, Government authorities took charge. However, since 1899 it has been a strictly missionary hospital, although it still receives a small grant of m o n e y from the Government. T h e Girls’ Boarding School, first called “S e mi ­ nary,” has just been m a d e the first H i g h School for girls in the Arcot Mission. In 1903 a W o m a n ’s Industrial H o m e w a s established under Mrs. L. R. Scudder to provide a h o m e for girls whose return to their villages after school days were over was not safe— for child wi do w s and non-Christians who were seeking to become Christians. This “Lace Class,” as it is n o w called, has been a valuable asset" and for so me years has been in charge of Miss Julia C. Scudder. Evangelistic— Miss Sarella T e W i n k e l writes of the extreme poverty evidenced everywhere, inducing her to run a ‘‘conjee kitchen” for the relief of needy Christians. T h e congregational Su nd a y school has been re-organized with 300 pupils with classes for all w h o are con­ nected with the Church, one in- Telugu, and one in English. A large delegation attended the Helpers’ Conference at Katpadi and listened to the inspiring addresses by Dr. E d d y and Mr. Jones. T w o Bible w o m e n visit the hospital and five the homes. In spite of opposition to the Christian teaching in the school, the Bible w o m e n are welcomed in the homes. Educational— Miss Van Doren reports: “The close of the year 1919 beholds our Girls’ High School an accomplished fact. Hostel life has been m o r e difficult this year than last because of the lack of resident teachers. In spite of this, Miss Wyckoff has done wonders in re-organization of the domestic w o r k system. B y adapting the “Northfield plan,” each set of girls n o w does a little w o r k each day. A delegation of 7 girls were sent to the Y. W . C. A. C a m p of school girls at Ennore. Last spring 20 girls united with the church. Voluntary prayer circles have sprung up and most of the girls teach in Sunday school. W e are looking forward to the n e w building for the school, plans and estimates of which are in the hands of the District Engineer, awaiting his signature. W e hope that 1920 will see our n e w h o m e arise.”

T I N D I V A N A M (1875)

History and Equipment— Tindivanam, only 18 miles from the sea, constitutes the southern portion of our Mission. Rev. J. H. Wyckoff was the first missionary stationed there. It has since developed the following schools ,and dispensary: 2 H i n d u Girls’ Schools, Tindivanam and Wandiwash, with 451 pupils; a Boarding and Secondary School with 17 pupils, and 106 girls in Sunday school. A small dispensary, started by Mrs. W . T. Scudder, M.D., is carried on by. Miss Noordyk, w h o is also in charge of zenana work, which includes 5 Bible w o m e n and 20 Indian workers. Evangelistic— Miss Noordyk writes: “Only in one instance was I unwelcome in m y visits. T h e wife, a sister of a Government official, who when asked to recite the lesson answered, ‘W e do not study it; w e do not care for your religion; w e study our o w n sacred books.’ T w o n e w churches have been dedicated in nearby villages of Nara- singanur and Muttathur.” Educational— Mrs. Van Vranken writes that she is much in­ terested in supervising the 17 girls w h o are in the n e w Boarding School. Medical— Miss Noordyk reports: “Our new cases number less than last year but the total treatments are the same. T h e y c o m e to us in preference to the Municipal Hospital. A boy with tetanus sent over there to be an in-patient, returned with his mother asking to have his w o u n d treated at our Dispensary instead.” P U N G A N U R (1908) History a n d E q u i p m e n t — This station w a s first occupied b y Rev. H. J. Scudder. It divided the Madanapalle field making a larger opportunity to cover the district. A H i g h School, taken over by the Mission in 1889 at the request of the Rajah and carried on for 20 years with daily Bible instruction, w a s returned in 1909 at the Rajah’s request. There is a H i n d u Girls’ School with ISO pupils, a M o h a m m e d a n Girls’ School, and 151 girls in Sunday school. T h e gift of $2,500 by Rev. A. H. Allen erected the M a r y Isabel Allen Memorial Hospital in 1912. - Evangelistic— There is no resident missionary in Punganur but reports of the workers there are encouraging. A n e w Prayer and School H o u s e has been built in the pariah quarter of the town and several have been baptized there. A village of sugalis or w o o d gatherers, on the outskirts of the town, is seeking Christianity. Educational— The Hindu Girls’ School still has its competent Head-Mistress and the pupils have passed well in examinations. Medical— Dr. M. David, who is in charge of the Mary Isabel Allen Hospital, is meeting the needs of the people as far as that small institution allows h i m to carry on the work.

Women’s Work Challenging Conditions in J apan— Certain features of the present situation in Japan should constantly be held in mi nd as the reports from the stations are read. T h e cost of living has increased even mo re rapidly than in America. It is felt at every turn by our missionaries. Food is so dear that m a n y nourishing articles of diet have to be given up; servants d e m a n d impossible wages and are increasingly unsatisfac­ tory; the native helpers and teachers are sorely tempted to turn to enaployments offering m u c h higher wages. All this cripples the w o r k and entails sacrifices that are deplorable. It must not be left without the remedy of an increase in salaries. W e must support our workers properly. Political • conditions and yellow journalism have increased hostility towards Americans and Christianity; yet on the other hand, the alarming spread of industrial evils and social unrest has created a desire for Christian ethical teaching as the only m eans of help. A n d Christian ethics cannot be taught without bringing in the Christian religion. Japan is going through a rapid transition; a n e w national life is coming into existence; and the opportunity to infuse it with Christianity is most inspiring. T h e n e w w o m a n , whose advent is at hand, must be a. Christian w o m a n ; this is the special challenge to us. If w e fail to meet it promptly and fully, the loss will be irreparable. Aomori— This station will no more appear upon our list, having been taken over by the German Reformed Church, whose work centers in its region. W e are confident that they will care for it faith­ fully and m o r e easily than we, with our other workers at a distance, could. Miss Winn, w h o held this remote station alone so long and so well, has returned to America at the call of h o m e duties. She richly deserves a tribute, which w e gladly pay, to her courage, endurance and consecra­ tion. In her w o r k has been illustrated the truth, sometimes overlooked, that a successful missionary must have a heart filled not only with love for the Master but also with love for the heathen themselves. W e shall miss her greatly on the foreign field, but rejoice in her presence and assistance at home. Fukuoka— Miss Lansing in her work has felt the general hindrance of the anti-American wave that seems to be passing over the land, and also the special difficulties caused by being compelled to m a k e a change in Bible w o m e n because her former trained assistant had to seek a higher salary to aid her family. She says, “O n e mission here is paying twenty-seven yen a month while we are paying only seventeen and a half to Bible women, graduates of the same school. W e cannot keep them. I usually go out mornings and have students in for English and Bible, also Gospel hymns, in the afternoons. Sunday afternoon I had eight students from the Commercial School for a Bible lesson and sing. O n e student tarried behind to tell m e that he had decided for Christ and wanted to be baptized. These little encouragements m e a n so m u c h to us. O u r children’s meetings are not well attended. S o m e ­ h o w as soon as the children begin to attend regularly the teacher in the day school finds it out and stops them. If one could only get hold of the teachers 1 I a m hoping w e m a y have a kindergarten here s o o n ; it is a fine place for one.” N o w that Miss Evelyn Oilmans is with Miss Lansing at Fukuoka, much of the depression caused by loneliness and lack of support in w o r k must disappear and the w o r k will take on new power and cheer. Nagasaki— Miss C o u c h sends a full report, of w h ich w e give the principal features: “T h o u g h the Buddhists have temporarily suc­ ceeded in keeping a n u mb e r of children from attending our Sunday Schools, yet the w o r k in the three which I have in charge has been far from discouraging. W i t h smaller numbers and m o r e regular attendance, better results have been attained. O n April first Miss Hashimoto, a Baiko Jo Gakuin graduate of 1919,. came to take Miss Tachino’s place as personal helper in Sunday school and other work. T h ro u g h her training the singing this year at the Christmas entertainments was the best w e ever had. These entertainments were m a d e specially enjoyable by the gifts from the Sewing Guild and a box from Tarry- town, N. Y. Miss Tomegawa has been very busy as usual with her calling, Bible classes, etc. She has been President of the local W. C. T. U. and of our Church W o m e n ’s Society. She has a very interesting class of young w o m e n in the Church Sunday School, and one of these girls was baptized the Sunday before Christmas. Earlier in the year one of the women who attended her classes was also baptized. The Bible class held in our h o m e bi-weekly and taught by her has delighted us by increased attendance and m o r e interest. “In the bi-weekly meetings of our Church W o m e n ’s Society the spirit of h a rm o n y and earnestness and the freedom with which m a n y take part have been most encouraging. M a n y of the w o m e n were helped by the sweet faith of dear Mrs. W a lv o o r d in her great sorrow. She was m u c h loved, and w e all miss her. A m o n g the non-Christian w o m e n are a few w h o seem very near the kingdom and others of varying degrees of earnestness in hearing the truth. M y o w n direct w o r k has been s omewhat limited by physical weakness during the first half of the year, and recently by having to give more time to the home because suitable servants could not be had. But as the year closes I a m pro­ foundly grateful for renewed strength, and I trust that someone to help in the h o m e will in time be found. “T h e Ochibo, our monthly paper, has safely passed its fifth birthday, T h o u g h the expense of publishing it has increased, the treasury has been empty only once, and the end of the year has brought gifts that provide for at least one-fourth of the n e w year. W e have had n e w subscribers from a m o n g entire strangers— one even from Korea— and m a n y testimonials of its value c o m e to hand. O n e subscriber writes, ‘W e have kept every one since the beginning, and consider them house­ hold treasures.’ ” Saga— Miss Hospers is at home on furlough but keeps close in touch with the w o r k carried on by her helper with the co-operation of Mrs. V a n Bronkhorst. She says, “The little Sunday School we had in a sake shop has stopped because the people w h o were kind enough to rent us a nice, clean r o o m g r e w tired of having a bunch of dirty little children in it each w e e k and, being Buddhists took advantage of m y departure to stop renting it. T h e house Sunday School goes on as ever; about thirty little ones c o m e regularly. In Arita our Sunday School— the only one in the town— cannot g r o w m u c h larger because the r o o m is hardly able to hold m o r e children. T h e ladies’ societies are getting on splendidly, growing stronger as they g r o w older. T h e H i g h School girls’ singing class, which meets on W e d n e s d a y afternoons, has an increased attendance. There are from five to seven hundred of these school girls in Saga, and similar numbers in other cities. It is encouraging to k n o w that the y o ung w o m e n as well as the young m e n in Japan are. seeking an. education; but w e must realize that for every schoolgirl there are two licensed prostitutes. H o w urgent is the need for m o r e Christian w o m e n from America to help their sisters in the Sunrise Kingdom 1 I wish that many would respond to the cry for help.” Tokyo— Mrs. W y c k o f f sends n o special report, but her letters are a record of unceasing and much diversified labors. Sunday Schools on w e e k days as well as on the Sabbath, constant visiting a m o n g the h o m e s of the children, classes and private pupils in English, ministry at the Lepers’ H o m e , w o r k at the Rescue H o m e for fallen w o m e n and other similar activities give proof of her desire “to shun delights and live laborious days” that the K i n g d o m of G o d m a y be established in a heathen land. T o k y o is not only one of the largest cities in the world, but is increasing in size rapidly. Its slums are frightful and its need of. every kind of social and Christian w o r k is beyond measure; and the n u mb e r of evangelistic workers in its midst is pitifully inadequate. Shall it be left without m o re? Shimonoseki— From Miss Pieters of the Baiko Jo Gakuin, or Sturges Seminary, comes the following report: “T h e year 1919 was ushered in as the Peace Year. W e "all k n o w h o w far short it has c o m e of deserving that title. H e r e also, little flurries of the disturbed temper of the times found their way into our quite uneventful lives. W o m e n ’s hearts here too, are being stirred by the thought of the times into an awakening to their latent possibilities and capabilities. This w a s evidenced in all the graduating essays of our girls, which bore upon the theme of the rights and duties of Japanese wo me n . These little H i g h School essays caused quite a sensation and were m u c h reported throughout the country, and elicited comm e n t s both favorable and otherwise from magazine and newspaper editors. Some went so far as to write congratulatory letters to the Principal, expressing their joy that there w a s a school where freedom of thought and broader ideas were encouraged. These essays and the general political situation gave the professional agitator something from which to start his agita­ tion against our school, and for a short time w e were somewhat harrassed by his efforts by means of posters and theatre meetings held to arouse public sentiment against us. In this he failed, as the audience m e t his tirades with indifference and disgust. T h u s our anxiety for one evening was relieved. Subsequent attempts did not disturb us so much, for w e felt that w e had won, to a certain extent, the confi­ dence of the people of this community. W e thanked G o d for the out­ c o m e of the evening, and trusted H i m further to look after His school. “T h e speaker frankly told the Principal that it was not so m u c h the school as the Christianity for which the school stood, to which he w a s bitterly opposed, and to the destruction of which he would bend all his energies. There is something of a compliment in his opposi­ tion, for it m e ans our people have not hidden their light under a bushel. “A t the time of graduation, the alumnae and graduating class presented the school with a beautiful banner of dark blue silk, with the two white stripes— distinctive of this school— diagonally across it, and the character for Baiko— the school n a m e — in the center. It is a very handsome and much prized gift. There were 27 graduated in M a r c h from the regular course. T w o went to the T o k y o College, two took up kindergarten courses, one entered the Art Institute in Tokyo; others would have entered higher institutions but were prevented because of ill health. Fo ur others took courses in typewriting, while so me went directly into office work. T h e Principal has m a d e the state­ m e n t that our students are able to c o m m a n d better positions than those of the Government schools. It is true that m a n y do c o m m a n d good salaries as salaries go for w o m e n in Japan. “T h e entering class in M a r c h numbered SO, with eight in the special course. Later there were other additions. While several have dropped out because of health and family reasons, only one has left because of the increase of fees. T h e present enrollment is 190. Tuition fees will again have to be raised because of the gradual and continued rise in the price of the ordinary commodities, but w e are hoping that it will not affect the entering class in April. It is impossible to keep the salaries of our teachers up to the standard of the Public schools, for the increase there has been from SO to 70%, but if w e fail to m a k e a proper increase, w e shall find it impossible to secure or retain competent teachers. All over Japan the effect of higher salaries for office and post office positions is affecting the teaching profession, and this will have to be remedied if suitable m e n and w o m e n are to be induced to enter the teaching profession. “W e have had s o m e severe losses by marriage,— the greatest being that of Miss Hironaka, the translator of Pollyanna and Louise. It has been and will continue to be almost impossible to find a successor for her; but w e are happy to say that she has not followed the example of so many other Japanese women and dropped her literary work for which she is so well fitted. She is continuing to translate de­ sirable books for the youth of Japan, and in this she is greatly en­ couraged by her husband, a fine Christian business man. “It is of interest to note that one of the n e w teachers volunteered at a joint meeting of faculty and Board of Directors, her surprise and admiration at the conduct of our pupils. She spoke of the greater spirit of friendliness and helpfulness on the part of our students and teachers, and the cheerful obedience of the former to the wishes of the latter. To her it seemed that more emphasis is laid on the de­ velopment of individual character in our school than in the Govern­ me nt institutions and with m o r e satisfactory results. “The Y. W . C. A. was formally organized here during the fall and Miss Kawai, National Secretary, w a s present and w o n the hearts of our girls as she does everywhere. T h e society was not in a flourish­ ing condition at first but has been doing good w o r k at the end of the year. T w o Sunday Schools are maintained and conducted by the Y. W . C. A., and two others are conducted by the teachers, in which students of the school assist. Other pupils teach in the church Sunday School, and at the recent Christmas celebration w e were pleased to see h o w well the children had been trained by our girls. “At our own Christmas entertainment a delightful program was given to a large audience. There were estimated to be some 230 guests, and about 180 pupils. Since our temporary chapel seats at most only about 200 under ordinary crowded conditions, it will surprise no one to k now that no aisle space was left and the halls were crowded with students. This is particularly lamentable as the Christmas entertain­ m e nt is one of the great opportunities of the year for giving the message of Good News to the people of this city. W e are.glad to report that the Christmas offering continues to increase year by year; this year Y e n 36 and so me sen were received for the Siberian, relief fund. “Miss Noordhoff, w h o has been at h o m e on furlough, returned in December and takes up her work in January. Miss Evelyn Oilmans leaves us for F u k u o k a to be with Miss Lansing. She has w o n a large place in the hearts of teachers and pupils by her sincere friendliness and will be greatly missed.

“Seventeen of our students and one maid have received baptism during the past year. This year no one was specially urged, as our experience the past year caused us to hesitate, and yet the n u mb e r applying for baptism was greater than the previous year. T h e nu mb e r received into the church since w e ca me here April 1914, is about one hundred. O f these eighty were from our school,— teachers and pupils. I write this simply to prove that the R e fo r m e d Church was not mis­ taken w h e n she established schools together with her Evangelistic Mission work.

“W e close the year with a great burden. H o w can these schools be maintained efficiently on the present wholly inadequate budget? The financial pressure has been keenly felt throughout the world, but if figures speak the truth, there has been a far greater and more continuous rise in prices in Japan than in England or America. Japan has been for years the country of low prices, and it seems as though the pendulum is swinging to the other extreme. T h e y have doubled and trebled in the last two or three years in all staple c o m ­ modities. This does not affect the laboring classes or the upper and business circles, for they have profited by the n e w conditions, but the salaried classes have suffered keenly. This touches us, not only in all that affects the upkeep of the school, but in our relations to teachers, evangelists, and Bible w o me n . Is this not primarily the re­ sponsibility of the church? W e have faith to believe that she will not fail us or turn her back upon the great work which she has so loyally carried on for her Master during all these years.”

Y o k o h a m a — Again, as last year, n o regular report has reached us from Ferris Seminary. W e m u c h regret this, for the school is one in which m a ny take a deep interest and in whose record w e have reason to feel an honest pride. It has stood as a leader in w o m a n ’s education for nearly fifty years and its possibilities of usefulness were never greater than now. N e w lines of w o r k are opening for w o m e n rapidly in Japan as in America and her demand for a higher education is greater than government schools and mission schools combined can meet. T h e opening of the n e w W o m e n ’s Christian U nion College in T o k y o is a great forward step. It will have as one result the transfer of some of the w o r k hitherto done at Ferris, for the Higher Course will be discontinued in accordance with the agreement m a d e by all the schools affiliated with the college that such higher w o r k shall be hence­ forth carried on at the college. .

T h e enrollment at Ferris this year is over three hundred, the largest ever known. Evidently the accommodations in the present school buildings are strained to the utmost, thus making efficient w o r k difficult, and forcing upon us the immediate problem of enlargement.

Women’s Work MASKAT Educational— Girls’ School, with Miss Kellien in charge. Evangelistic— Miss Lutton in charge of Zenana work. Medical— Mrs. V a n Peursem in charge, during Dr. H o s m o n ’s furlough. . Educational Wo rk — Miss Kellien writes: “The Maskat School for Girls was opened on January 20th, 1919, and can hardly be said to have passed the experimental stage as yet. A s in most n e w enter­ prises, there are disheartening features to offset the encouraging ones. That there is a need for the teaching our schools aim to give has never been a disputed point, and the m o r e closely w e are in touch with the children, the m o r e vividly w e realize the greatness of that need. Here, as elsewhere in the non-Christian world, the c o m m o n ­ places of childhood come as a shock to our Western sensibilities, and as w e get a m o r e intimate glimpse into their inner thought and life, w e -■ see h o w impossible it is for childish purity and innocence to survive in a strictly M o s l e m environment. But h o w to bring a m o r e health­ ful influence to bear on their lives is the question w e are unable to answer to our o w n satisfaction. “Maskat, although backward in so many ways, has several primary schools, and one m o r e advanced school under the patronage of the Sultan, with an attendance of about sixty. H o w e v e r faulty these schools m a y be as disseminators of general knowledge, they certainly fulfill their mission as training centers in the doctrines of Islam. W h e n the girls

♦ O n furlough, 1920. are allowed to come to us they are already both forewarned and fore­ armed, and it is the desire for s o me material advantage that brings them and not any recognized superiority of our methods or our moral training. There is not m u c h desire for instruction in English on the part of the' girls, the attraction for them being the sewing class, and m a n y of the mothers and guardians would be glad to have the main emphasis placed on this part of the work. T h e minds of m a n y of the slave girls w h o are sent to us seem as barren and unpromising as the rocks that limit their horizon, and' it is hard to arouse in them any ambition for anything beyond the needlework that adds to their outer adornment; but with them as with the others w e have to strive to m a k e this line of least resistance the handmaiden of those better things which aid in character building. “Before its opening the school had been well advertised by Miss Lutton and Mrs. V a n Peursem and the latter kindly assisted in the sewing lessons. T h e three pupils of the first day gradually increased until there were seventeen on- the roll, and w h e n curiosity was satis­ fied, the attendance fell off again to eight or nine, w h o c a m e regularly until sickness a m o n g them forced us to close the school in May. Since we began work this autumn, however, not more than five girls have come, but this m a y be partly due to the fact that so me did not think it worth while to begin until after our return from the annual meeting in Basra. “The matter of a house has been more difficult than we had anticipated and the lack of any building in which to meet greatly delayed the opening after the holidays. The house formerly occu­ pied w a s very unsatisfactory and so old that one corner of it fell d o w n this s u m m e r and the remainder is unsafe. W e had the promise of a fairly good house, o w n e d by a Parsi merchant, with r o o m enough for both school and dwelling. After the contract w a s m a d e last May the owner changed his mind or at least refused to give a definite answer of any sort until the repairs should be finished, and w e were obliged to go to India leaving the matter unsettled. W h e n w e returned, after several days of indecision, he finally said he wanted it for his own family; so we had to begin a search among the other empty houses, none of which is very suitable. T h e only one large enough for both purposes is owned by Mr. Chota Lai of Muttra, w h o has been a friend of the dispensary in the past and is n o w extending his kindness to the educational work. W e are to m a k e any necessary repairs on the building, and the am ou n t paid for rent (twenty-five rupees a month) will be returned by h i m to the school funds. It is in the same neighborhood as the previous build­ ing, and so distance need not prevent any of the old pupils from attending, and so me of the w o m e n w h o have been asking for instruc­ tion in reading and sewing have promised to come for lessons several afternoons a week. W h e t h e r their intention will crystallize into determination or not, ■ w e cannot foresee, but w e leave it and the whole future of the school in the hands of H i m w h o has told us to s o w beside all waters, not k n owing which shall prosper, this or that; and w e ask for a larger measure of that faith which recognizes no defeat in the service of Christ.” , Evangelistic W o r k — Miss Lutton writes: “W o r k has been kept up throughout the year though it was difficult at times to keep out: in the sun. T h e people are friendly and welcome the visitor, but when an opportunity is taken to deliver the Gospel message Islam is as hostile as ever. O n e often gets heart-sick and weary at the little that seems to be accomplished. W e long for the time w h e n ‘Mass-movements’ can be recorded in Arabia. Just now we are passing through an experience of sorrow and disappointment about an inquirer. His people became alarmed and he has been removed from our influence. His mother’s threats have terrified him, for she threatened him with life-long imprisonment and even death if he comes near our house. I have been able to have only a few words with him. H e said, ‘M y heart is not changed but I dare not increase- my mother’s enmity.’ The women seem to have great power and influence when they want to prevent a Moslem from becoming a. Christian. I ask prayer for this one, and for w i s d o m for us workers.. T h e n u mb e r of visits paid and visitors received does not vary much, from year to year. The attendance of the women has been very good every Su nd a y at the Arabic Service. Simple instruction has. been given after the service to a few m o r e intelligent hearers. One- w o m a n especially has been m o r e responsive, but since she spends: m a n y months inland w e can only keep in touch with her for a. few months in the year. “W e believe G o d is working in hearts here; so w e take courage- and w o r k on, believing that in due season the harvest will c o m e and w e ‘shall reap if w e faint not’. W e pray the ‘Lord of the harvest’" to garner in the good in His o w n time.’’ Medical W o r k — In the absence of any missionary physician in. Maskat, Mrs. Van Peursem has kept up the Hospital work with some help from her missionary colleagues and from Dr. W y l y of the- H. M. S. Diana during the influenza epidemic, which worked great havoc in Maskat and in the province of Oman. The attendance aver­ aged about 550 a day for nine months and, as usual, a Gospel read­ ing a n d short address have been given every day to attentive hearers,, though the spirit of inquiry has been largely absent. Statistics for the year: Total treatments ...... 4990 N ew patients ...... 1973 Visits to h o me s ...... 2010 Patients visited ...... 58 In-patients ...... 7 D a ys spent in Hospital ...... 78 Villages visited ...... 3 BAHREIN Evangelistic W ork— Mrs. Dykstra writes: “The story of the- year’s activities can be easily and briefly told, but to report on the- results in the hearts and lives of those w h o were reached by the message is a very difficult matter. There is so m u c h that can only be felt as one associates with those who have come under our in­ fluence, there is so m u c h that is intangible and a matter of faith,. There must first be the hidden inward growth before the life can be seen, and then it takes m u c h time for outward growth and de­ velopment before the fruit can be expected. T h e constant attendance at our services is a source of encouragement to us all. W e at least have an audience that seeks us out. In several ways, most frequently in quarrels with each other, the w o m e n have s h ow n a desire to c o m e to the missionary to have their troubles adjusted and a willingness to be controlled by what the Gospel directs. T h e in­ creasing n u m b e r of w o m e n w h o desire to be taught to read is en­ couraging, and affords a splendid opportunity to familiarize them with the truth as opposed to the prevarications, of the Koran. “All the w o m e n w h o were coming for instruction last year are still coming and the one w h o asked for baptism and w h o also was reading, has continued to g r o w in grace and knowledge as far as h u m a n judgment can tell. T h e others are m o r e or less where they were last year. In the case of two of them there seems to be so me advance, which is evident, in the one in her victory over her­ self, making her more peaceable and more humbleminded, while the other w o m a n seems at times to have s o me conviction of sin. T h e last Sunday before w e left the station on our vacation, she w a s in distress during the whole of the service, and during the closing h y m n she broke d o w n completely, and .later asked m e to pray for her. She repeated this request w h e n she bade m e goodbye and also later by letter. It is not often that w e see these people so visibly affected by non-physical forces, and as far as we' can see, it seems to be the striving of the Spirit in her heart. “W e are grateful to G o d w h o has given us s o m e evidences of His grace in Bahrein and that we have been allowed to see some ^advance, humble and small though it be. But the w o r k has its de­ feats as well as its advances and one that has been particularly try­ ing and saddening to us all is M ... ’s downfall. W e cannot see the end, there seems to be no present hope of a change, and w e often askourselves: ‘Wh y must all this happen in our very small circle of converts, which are so hardly w o n ? ’ But w e have the promise, ‘No n e can pluck out of the Father’s hand,’ • and w e do believe that M __ ,. is a child of God. “The work has gone on steadily and, judging from outward appearances, with so me apparent progress. O u r prayer meetings, Sunday services and Sunday-school had an attendance that continued to encourage. The average attendance is about the same as" last year. The Sunday morning services have had an average attendance of about eight and a Sunday-schooi of about seven. The song service of the evening had a m o r e fluctuating attendance but always there were enough to warrant the continuance of these services. T h e w o m e n enjoy the singing very much, and in this w a y get a great deal of the Gospel, perhaps m o r e so than in any other way, and to a few it is real worship and comfort. The number of houses visited in the t o wn is 281, of which about 40 are new, and the n u mb e r of visitors is about 375, all of these figures being for about nine months. “N o t so m a n y houses were visited this year aslast year butthe cordiality with which w e are received is no less. In one house an elderly w o m a n quite surprised us by reciting several h y m n s which Miss Lutton had taught her some years ago. Such incidents remind us of the promise, ‘Cast thy bread upon the waters, for thou shalt find it after m a n y days.’ , T h e zenana w o r k is both pleasant and difficult. W e are usually welcome everywhere and it is so easy to m a k e a friendly social call, yes, even to read to the w o m e n is agreeable because that is a form of entertainment, a creditable accomplishment, and every Moslem has at least outward respect for reading, especially if it be something of a religious nature. But it is a constant problem to k n o w h o w to read the W o r d to them so that it shall be a real message to reveal to themselves their sinful estate and their need of a Saviour. So often in m y visits, I have felt that m y efforts were a failure, or that I had not tried as bravely as I should have done, and at other times w h e n I had tried, it all seemed to be just so m u c h wasted effort. A n d it is at times like these w h e n the encouraging surprises, which w e do meet occasionally, bring to our m e m o r y a n e w the promise, ‘He that goeth forth with weeping bearing precious seed, shall doubtless co m e again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.’ This year about thirty portions of Scripture were sold amongst the w o m e n and three N e w Testaments were given away. Selling the small portions is humiliat­ ing work at times and something one would like to avoid. It is shocking to learn ho w large a proportion are bought as toys for the babies. In one house the mother was quite insistent that I should sell or give her a pretty red one for the spoiled two year old son of the house and the only effective w a y I silenced her, and perhaps shocked her too, was by suggesting that she should give the Koran to the child. “During the year several women asked to be taught to read. So often with the Arabs reading is only repeating, parrot-fashion, what is being learned, and the prospect of teaching a group of w o m e n of various ages and of various grades of mental acumen seemed quite a difficult and questionable undertaking, especially so with people w h o have so very little conception of regularity and of hard mental effort. W e began therefore by teaching them passages of Scripture and hymns by rote, but this did not satisfy most of them, and so reading lessons were given and the result has fully warranted the time and effort spent on them in this way. The women have come very faithfully, and in two cases the result has been a genuine surprise, and a fresh reminder of the truth that w e must not judge by appearances. O n e of the w o m e n seemed a most unlikely pupil, who apparently never listened to any purpose when she attended our meetings, and w h o seemed satisfied with the motto, ‘Eat, drink, and be merry.’ But w h e n she c a m e with the direct request to be taught to read, the least that could be done w a s to give her the opportunity and she has done well, above all expectations. She is connected with the ‘zeeraan’ association, as most of. the colored people are, and is one of the leaders in that union. A t this time, it is not possible to tell whether or not her desire to read has any •connection with her position with these ‘zeeraanists.’ It is possible that she wants to learn to read so as to increase her influence and authority in that circle. In the meantime, she attends to her lessons very diligently and is a regular attendant at all the services. T h e other woman who is so much of an inspiration to us all is about forty-five years old, was a slave until about seven years ago, and supports herself by hard work. She had ambition enough to continue to c o m e for her lessons during the summer, at night, after a hard day’s w o r k carrying heavy skins of water. Often after a lesson, on her way home, she would fill her waterskin and finish the day’s task. There are at present eight w o m e n and three girls w h o are reading, and three w h o are still being taught by rote. There is also a n e w woman, a Moslem, from Lingah, who can read and who wants to study the Gospel. Five of the w o m e n are Arabs, six are colored and the remainder are Persians and Bagdadees. “A personal lesson that has c o m e to m e through the year’s w o r k is the importance of trusting all our w o r k to G o d Himself, that H e w h o sends the message and causes it to take root will watch the planting of His o w n hand. Another lesson is our great need to give a larger place in our message and in our faith as to the ultimate result of that message to the H o l y Spirit, and that it is H e alone w h o can convict of sin, bring to confession, and sanctify the hearts. Still another lesson is that w e cannot be too loving, too sympathetic and too patient with them all in their failings. W e as missionaries, feel the d o w n w a r d pull of Islam, h o w m u c h m o r e difficult is it for any of them to climb up. T h e y need, and have a claim upon, our most faithful intercession. For us there is always that wonderful example of Christ, ‘For I ca me not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.’ ”

BASRA

Educational— Girls’ School, superintended by Mrs. John V a n Ess. T h e Misses Jackson gave their entire m o r n i n g to the School, a n d started systematic kindergarten w o r k for the smallest children. Evangelistic— Evangelistic w o r k under Mrs. James Cantine,— and her faithful Bible w o m a n , Saidi. Medical— Hospital closed and no doctors!

Educational W o r k — Mrs. V a n Ess writes. “In spite of the late opening, and m a n y changes in staff, the Basra Girls’ School has had an excellent enrollment and attendance, and the winter’s w o r k has, on the whole, been very satisfactory. T h e great event of the year w a s an entertainment or ‘exhibition’ at the end of May, w h e n a program w a s given of songs, drills, recitations, and a little musical fairy tale rendered in English to the’ great admiration and edification of all the visiting mothers and friends, in spite of the fact that most of them could not understand a word. This was given in the chapel, as w e have no suitable place in school for a gathering of any size. It seemed to be very much enjoyed and appreciated, and hot the least benefit w a s that it kept up the girls’ interest and attendance unusually well through May, which is always a difficult month. In June, which practically coincided with R a ma dhan, the attendance was poor and, as always, the school only ‘ma rk e d time’ until it closed.” T h e School would seem to have three great needs at the present time: (1) T h e material need of a larger house with an adequate assembly room, better class room accommodation, and a courtyard for gymnastic drill, basket ball and badminton. (2) T h e academic need for a thorough organization of all class work, English and Arabic. (3) M o s t important of all, the spiritual need of linking up the School m o r e definitely with direct evangelistic work. “The atmosphere of good-will and friendliness which one finds ready created is an unfailing pleasure and the best possible beginning for really coming close to their lives. It was by this personal w o r k that the school was m a d e k n o w n and built up in the first place, and it will only be by continuing it that we can keep in touch with the m a n y w o m e n and girls w h o have been reached, directly or indirectly, through the school and its influence.” ’

Number on Roll Average attendance M a r c h — 74 56 April — 66 50 M a y — 64 51 June — 48 (Ramadhan) 29 A bout 2/3 Moslems, 1/3 Christians and Jews Evangelistic W o r k — Mrs. Cantine writes: “There is nothing in any way startling or wonderful to record about this year’s work. It has been just the daily round of sowing the seed beside all waters. At times the ground has been so hard and stony or rough and thorny that w e have c o m e h o m e tired and discouraged, feeling that it is indeed uphill w o r k to win the M o h a m m e d a n s for Christ. But at other times w e have met those w h o have listened with interest and even with something of eagerness, as though they were really longing for s o m e ­ thing better and mo re uplifting than their o w n religion; and at such times w e have realized-what a great privilege it is to be G o d ’s messengers to these people. T h e direct evangelistic w o r k is, I think, one of the very hardest tasks on the mission field. In both the medical and edu­ cational work we are giving the people something they want or feel the need of, but in the evangelistic w o r k this is not the case. T h e y do not want the Gospel. T h e w o m e n would m u c h prefer that w e m a d e them just social visits, without trying to persuade them that they need Christ. But I do feel that through our repeated visits, and by con­ stantly giving the Gospel message, many who in the beginning only tolerated the reading and the preaching have become really interested. " T w o or three times a w e e k I have had groups of w o m e n c o m e to the Mission House. It is understood that they c o m e for reading, and the greater part of the time was always spent on that and preaching. W e served refreshments— coffee or tea, and biscuits and, in the summer, sherba. There are a few who have shown special interest, though I would scarcely call them enquirers. O n e w o m a n has c o m e very often to be taught about Christ. She was so weak from influenza when she first c a m e to us, and absolutely destitute, that I w a s not always sure whether she c a m e because she wanted material help, or whether she w a s really in earnest about wanting Christianity. But I a m quite certain n o w that she prefers Christianity to Islam. O n c e w h e n she w a s very sick with fever, she seemed particularly eager to hear about Christ, and also wanted m e to promise that if she died w e would take her boy and not leave him to the Moslems. "As I think over the year’s work, I a m far from being satisfied with it, especially m y o w n part in it; I wish I could have done m uch more. But there are m a n y things to be thankful for— not the least, of these being the privilege of another year of service for the Master. T h e opportunities are great, without a doubt. O u r circle of friends is continually growing, and in most of the houses w e can read. T h e y know that is what we have come for, and they expect to listen. A nd I feel I can say without hesitation that many of the wo me n want us to read and talk to them about Christ. M y earnest desire for the coming year is that w e m a y faithfully hold H i m up, so that H e m a y draw them all to Him.”

KUWEIT Educational— Girls’ School started by Mrs. Mylrea. Evangelistic— Under Mrs. Mylrea’s charge. Medical— U n d e r Mrs. E. E. Calverley, M.D., ably assisted by Miss Scardefield.

Evangelistic Work— Mrs. Mylrea reports that this work has been carried out on m u c h the same lines as in former years without any especially n e w features, but she rejoices in the fact that nineteen new houses have been opened to her, as “each new house entered m e ans not only the w o m e n of that house, but m a n y of the neighbor­ hood.” She m a d e 153 visits and received 603 visitors into her house. She writes: . , “Every spring in Kuweit a great m a n y of the A r a b families go a few miles out into the desert and live under canvas for a m o n t h or six weeks. This gives the w o m e n a little wider vision than their four walls and they always look forward to these camping expeditions with great joy. Last winter the rains were especially good and the desert literally blossomed like a rose in the spring. It was our privilege to m a k e several trips on camels out to these various camps and to catch a glimpse of the w o m e n in their widened surroundings. “W e spent a night in the c a m p of Sheikh Jabir bin Subab, the uncle of the reigning sheikh. I enquired beforehand and was told that his harem were not in camp with him; so I did not take an Arab Testament with me, but we had not been there long before we were told that the w o m e n wanted to see us and, after the greetings, almost the first question was, ‘Ha v e you brought your b ook?’ “There remaineth yet very much land to be possessed and I believe that only as the one w h o is carrying on the w o r k drinks deeper of the W a t e r of Life and learns m o r e of the abiding presence of Christ day by day will the w o r k prosper and the message given bring forth fruit.” Medical W o r k — Miss Scardefield, writing of the medical work, tells of the cordial reception she met with on her first arrival in Kuweit, and adds: ' “T h e dispensary w o r k w a s especially interesting, for the Bedouins came in crowds and insisted always they should have the first place. T h e y are very witty and m a n y a time the laughter would d o w n the voices of crying babies. “Treating patients first and having them willing to wait after the treatment for prayers was a new order of things. W h e n a new patient c a m e and w a s treated, then invited to remain to hear the Gospel, in­ evitably an old patient would say, ‘Yes, do stay, it is good to hear their reading.’ There was a group of w o m e n w h o could not get to dispensary early as they lived at the other end of town and they would ask, ‘Ha v e you had prayers yet? W e hope not, for w e wish to hear what you read.’ . ‘Seven days a w e e k has been the general rule for our dispensary work. Although Thursdays were supposed to be for those needing operations or special treatment, it hardly ever worked out that way, as many would come not knowing our rule and could not be turned away. Sundays, too, often found us busy with those w h o needed our care. “T h e in-patients had to be very patient as they had not space to s h o w their impatience, for our w a r d was also our operating r o o m and office. But w e look forward with delight to our n e w building n o w nearly completed.” Dr. Calverley reports that the year 1919 has been the happiest and easiest year of all her medical work in Arabia— largely because of the invaluable assistance she has received from Miss Scardefield— both in her Hospital and in her home. “There has been evinced in Kuweit this year,” writes Dr. Calverley, “a growing friendliness on the part of the people for our work. W h e n we returned from Annual Meeting last November an epidemic of influenza was raging. O n e of the leading m e n of the town, w h o has since become one of the party from Kuweit that is. paying a visit to England and the king, seemed to have placed himself absolutely at the disposal of his friends and acquaintances w h o were smitten by the disease. H e himself furnished medicines w h e n the symptoms began to appear, and then in the case of w o me n , if the illness gr ew m o r e serious, he called in m y services. Ea ch day he brought two donkeys to the house, one for himself and one for me, and together w e m a d e the round of his patients. W h e n hypodermic injections were necessary, he himself assisted in preparing the needle, and w h e n the confidence of the patients flagged, he assured them with unfailing loyalty of m y knowledge and skill. It was a very unusual experience and a really pleasant one. T h e m a n was as true a gentleman in his dealings as one could hope to find, and when our services were no longer needed he asked for the bill, which w a s a large one, and himself paid it in full without a murmur. “T h e problem of keeping the Hospital open during the s u m m e r was expected to be a difficult one. Dr. Mylrea and his one trained assistant were to be away, leaving only two untrained Persians for the m e n ’s work. M e n patients were therefore sent a w a y and told not to come. In spite of this, twenty or thirty or even m o r e continued to arrive. S o m e were influential m e n and friends of the missionaries. T h e y asked to be seen as a special favor. S o m e were schoolboys. W e felt responsi­ ble for them. Some had come from long distances. Some were in grave danger. W e could not refuse to help them. S o m e had simple complaints which, w h e n once diagnosed, could be treated by the Persian assistants. A n d so it happened that the m e n ’s w o r k was not closed. A b ou t 850 treatments of m e n are recorded besides others not recorded. A goodly number of men in-patients were also accommodated. One cannot turn a w a y unaided emergency cases such as hemorrhage from lacerated wounds, fractures, dislocations, extensive burns and recent gunshot wounds. Then, too, there were frequent requests for out-calls to men. Sometimes w e sent one of the assistants to see if he thought the case urgent and suitable for our attendance. W e never once met with discourtesy or had cause to be sorry w e had gone. T h e ruling sheikh sent his carriage daily at one time in order that w e might attend a visiting sheikh w h o w a s ill in the palace. H e also sent us numbers of visitors from Hayil both for treatment and operation. “W e feel that this experience of treatment of men may have been a decided step in advance for the W o m a n ’s department. It affords a much bigger advertisement to have cured a ma n than a woman, simply because the w o m e n here are considered less important than the men. Also, the m e n are, as a rule, less fanatical than the w o me n , and w e gained entrance through this work into some houses to which the women would never have invited us. W e now hope that the women of these houses will want us for themselves in the future. “T h e Spirit is working in our midst. O f that w e are sure, and w e can trust in the words of our Saviour, that His o w n sheep will hear His voice. “O n e of the outstanding features of the year’s w o r k has been the number of women who have been made happy by their experiences in the hospital. M a n y a patient has been brought in pain and despair and, having had her sufferings relieved, has unfolded like a flower under the influence of loving care. Miss Scardefield has had m u c h to do with this part of the work. H e r love, her strength, her life are unspar­ ingly at the disposal of each suffering w o m a n , and in response to these, m o r e than one w o m a n whose heart has been as barren as the desert, has begun to blossom as the rose. • “Never have w e looked forward to a n e w year with as great enthusiasm as w e do at this time. H e has been our sufficiency in every detail of the past year. H e has met each need as it arose. T h e future is as bright as His promise. “ ‘Bless the Lord, O m y soul, and forget not all His benefits.’ ” Statistics for the year: Total treatments ...... — 5,600 N e w cases ...... 2,100 In-patients ...... 27 Out-calls ...... 251 Operations ...... 130

THE ANNUAL REPORT OF THE CORRESPONDING SECRETARY Birthdays and Anniversaries.— Although by the calendar the Woman s Board of Foreign Missions was but 45 years old in January of this year, it presents today its 46th Annual Report. In order to avoid confusion of dates as we begin to look forward to our Jubilee in 1925, we must keep this fact in mind. Apparently the pride of our mothers and grand­ mothers who stood sponsor for the Board in its infancy and their ambition to proclaim to the “Fathers and Brethren” the attainments of this infant prodigy led to the publication of a “First Annual Report” when the child was but four months old. ' Growing old along with us, two societies, Charter Mem­ bers. of the Board, have reported the celebration of their 45th Birthday. The Woman’s Missionary Society of the First Church of Newark, New Jersey, observed its 45th anniversary by a Birthday sociable with an address by a member of the Board and an offering amounting to $45. The Society of the Middle Collegiate Church of New York City observed its anniversary in connection with a supper given to the winning group in the Stewardship Reading Contest by a varied program on “The Women’s Outlook.” The Society of the First Church of New Brunswick, although holding no memorial of this 45th year, which is the 95th of its existence, looks forward to celebrating its Centennial, co­ incident with the Jubilee of the Board in 1925. Growth.— The strength of the Board increases yearly by the addition of new auxiliary societies. Its growth is like that of a healthy tree. As each year adds to the trunk the strength of one more encircling ring, the branches send out new green twigs which shortly blossom and bear fruit. Now and then a barren branch is lopped away; now and then new life is grafted into a fruitless branch and again it becomes fruitful; but in the main the story is of increasing fruitfulness by the processes of normal growth, the budding of new branches from the parent stock. It is an interesting coincidence of numbers that 45 new societies have been added during this 45th full year, ten women’s societies, thirty-three young women’s organizations and two children’s bands. • NEW W O ME N ’S ORGANIZATIONS Alvord, I o w a Calvary, G rand Rapids Trinity, Orange City, Io wa Fairview, G rand Rapids Lincoln Park, N.

Class ^ Central Avenue, Jersey City The Young Women’s Department, through the untiring energy and unceasing watchfulness of the Field Secretary, has organized young women’s and girls’ societies in the fol­ lowing churches: Trinity, Orange City, Iowa Port Jervis, N e w Y o r k Vischer Ferry, N e w Y o r k 29th Street, N e w Y o r k City First Glenville, N e w Y o r k Brighton, Rochester, N.

In this lengthening list of young women’s organizations we recognize a valuable asset to the present cause and an assur­ ance of continuity for the future, giving promise that when the first generation of workers has passed a second and a third, already in line, will be ready to carry on. It is heartening to visualize this procession of the women’s regiments in the King’s own army': the veterans in their place of honor at the fore; women in the prime of life, some with scars and wound stripes, but all with heads erect— no sagging shoulders, no shuffling gait; the girls with springing step and starry eyes that see the future as a great adventure; the children, a merry little rabble, all out of step but waving gaily their loyal banners— the rhythm of their marching set to that new battle song of the Church, “Lead on, O K i ng Eternal, T h e day of m arch has come.” In an attempt to ascertain the Church’s resources in women, young women and children, we have tried to secure a record of all organizations— even of those whose aim is not distinctively missionary. This brings upon our roll (see statistical report, page 73), many organizations of women and children not new but previously unrecorded. It is our hope that many of these may be found ready to accept the mis­ sionary program as an essential part of every churchwoman’s responsibility. Women’s Work.— “To every group its work” is the policy of the Board. To the women belongs the whole responsi­ bility for all the work for women and children in our four mission fields— the maintenance of all unmarried women mis­ sionaries, the sustentation of schools, Sunday Schools and orphanages; the medical work for women; the training and maintaining of women evangelists, or “Bible women”; the union missionary institutions which we share with other Boards, and the charges incident to the administration of all this work, which are included in that less popular but supremely import­ ant section of the Treasury called the General Fund. A year ago the Board recognized that the exigencies of the times demanded a larger financial program. The oppor­ tunity for pressing evangelistic work in India and the open­ ing of new areas in China and Mesopotamia, in addition to the greater cost of administering the work already in hand, led us to lay upon the churches a Progress Campaign budget of $167,280, to cover running expenses and provide for new missionaries, new buildings and new developments for which we saw immediate need. With that whole-hearted loyalty that characterizes the daughters of the Reformed Church the societies responded to the call, many doubling their con­ tribution of the previous year, with a resultant total of gifts to the Treasury of $139,510, the largest contribution ever made to the Woman’s Board in any single year— $30,000 more than last year. It is one of the tragedies of this period of economic reaction resulting from the war that the value of money sent to the field is so depleted and its purchasing power so diminished that we are found today with a deficit of $10,547, borrowed from the temporary funds in our Treas­ ury, instead of with the surplus that would have been ours but for the high cost of exchange. Oh, that some privileged woman whom God has blessed with large means would sur­ prise us with a royal gift that woud efface this debt and enable us to start the. new year with a fair, clean page! Among the notable gifts of the year the Treasurer reports a special contribution of $10,000 by a good friend of the work in Japan for our share of underwriting the purchase of land for the Japan Christian College at Tokyo. Beds in the Mary Taber Schell Hospital have been endowed in memory of Anna Townsend Van Santvoord, Eliza Van der Poel Moore, Anton A. Raven, and the endowment of a bed in Mary Lott Lyles Hospital has been completed in memory of N o r m a n M a c L e o d Burrell. An Annuity Fund created by Mrs. Mary B. Gardner endowing one of the first beds in Mary Taber Schell Hospital in memory of her sister, Eleanor Bergen, a charter member of the Board, has by the death of Mrs. Gardner, in February of this year, become a part of the endowment of M. T. S. Hospital.* Legacies to the Board are as follows: Estate— Alice Bolt...... $ 25.00 Estate— Abby L. Welles ...... 2,500.00 Estate— Eliza B. Zabriskie ...... 5,000.00 Estate— Amelia V. W. Fisher... .. 3,810.00 Life Memberships have become increasingly popular in the missionary societies as a means of honoring officers and members for service rendered. A missionary and his wife in Arabia ordered a Life Membership Certificate sent to the mother in the homeland as an Easter surprise. In one instance a mother was made a Life Member by a gift of $25 from her three children; in another, a daughter by her mother. Several individuals have coveted the honor enough to pay for it themselves. Thirty-eight Life Memberships this year have netted $950 for the work of the Girls’ School at Basrah, Arabia. ■ A new responsibility assumed by the Woman’s Board in consequence of the effect of the war on the financial con­ dition of our friends in the Netherlands is the support of Wilhelmina Hospital at Amoy, which called for $1,000 this year. Young Women’s Work.— To the young women and girls certain specific objects are assigned in sufficient variety to be attractive to every missionary taste— a missionary in Japan, a station in China, a school in India, medical work in Arabia, with a share in a union college making its special appeal to college students and alumnae. The grand total of their- gifts this year is $7,833.85. The students of Central College at Pella, Iowa, have pledged the $1,500 required for the Girls’ School and Social Center at Rani- pettai, payment to be made during a period of five years. A question that has given the Woman’s Board some food for thought is: When does a young women’s organization become a women’s organization? While this question would appear to be a matter for self-determination by the individual society and the Board does not consider it practicable to prescribe age limits for members in young women’s organiza­ tions, yet we see in the natural reluctance of older societies of young women and young married women to give up their allegiance to the Young Women’s Committee and the support of special objects assigned to that committee, a danger of crippling the larger work of the Board. With the number of junior societies increasing from below it is readily imaginable that the greater proportion of societies

* Erratum in Annual Report of last year:— Endowed bed in Mary Lott Lyles Hospital in memory of Ida Vander Veer Dovening should have read Ida Vander Veer Downing. will in the course of time be Ijsted as young women’s organizations and the women’s societies, upon which de­ volves the larger work, become relatively smaller in number. W e recommend to the young women, and especially to the young married women, the periodical consideration of this question: “Have we been a young women’s society long enough, or has the average age of our membership and its capacity for increased responsibility advanced enough to entitle us to take our place among the women’s auxiliaries and transfer our contributions to their wider work?” We would ask them also as they relinquish their relation with the young women’s work, to bequeath the responsibility for this work to the group of young women and girls following hard after them, so that no link shall be lacking in the chain that binds the whole church membership to the Boards of the Church. . Children’s Work.— Since the return of the “Children’s Mis­ sionary,” Miss Winn, to this country and the transfer of her station, Aomori, to the German Reformed Mission, the interest of Sunday Schools, Junior Endeavor Societies and Mission Bands is solicited for the children of the Arcot Mission. To enlist the Sunday Schools i n i this new work, an attractive folder entitled “Living in Tents” was written by Rev. John H. Warnshuis to accompany the special pro­ gram prepared for use in the schools on Foreign Missions Sunday. As a result three village schools in the Arcot Mission have been adopted by individual Sunday Schools and numerous gifts received for this work. Mr. Warnshuis is preparing a further account of the villages for future investors. While we cannot encourage correspondence be­ tween the Sunday Schools at home and the schools which they adopt, it is our desire to impress upon the children in the home organizations that investment in schools is an investment in lives, and to give them a sense of kinship with the boys and girls of India. Baby Roll.— Even the babies have their share in the mis­ sionary task. Through the enrollment and the contributions of the babies of the Church this year the Baby Roll has received $540 for the support of the Children’s Home in China. Relationships.— The year has been marked by increasing co-operation with other agencies, both within and without our denominational family. In recognition of the self-deny­ ing ordinance of the Progress Campaign Committee that no Board should make any special appeals to the churches or societies until after the completion of the Progress Cam­ paign Drive, the Women’s Boards of Foreign and Domestic Missions agreed to forego the usual plea for an extra gift at Easter and sent a combined greeting to the societies with a letter from the Progress Campaign Committee setting forth the financial status of the Boards. W e have heard that the women of the societies really missed the invitation to make an Easter thank-offering. W e shall try not to dis­ appoint them again! . An attempt was made by the two Women’s Boards to formulate a plan of organization for local .churches which would combine in one organization all the women’s activi­ ties, so concentrating all the woman-power in any given church upon the Church’s missionary task. This plan for co-operation was -found to be impracticable because of the inclusion in the program of certain forms of social service which are not related to the legitimate work of the Mission Boards. While the members of the Foreign Board have the most sincere interest in all activities that make for social welfare and while the Board is even now in­ troducing into its Foreign Missionary program forms of social community work which look toward widening the mental and spiritual horizon of India’s womanhood, it was the sentiment of the Foreign Board that the Boards should not propose to the societies a plan of organization which would give to agencies outside the Church a place of impor­ tance equal to that of the established missionary agencies for which we are primarily responsible. In several churches Leagues have been formed which seem to combine success­ fully the existing women’s societies under a genral executive committee without loss of identity to any organization. By this plan every member of every organization becomes a member of the whole and bears .her part in the church s whole task. Closer relations with Synod’s Board of Foreign Missions have been established by the invitation of that Board to the Committees on China and India to sit with their Foreign Committees in deliberation on reports from the fields. The Woman’s Board desires to express its deep appreciation of the ever-ready sympathy, co-operation and helpfulness of the officers of Synod’s Board in all matters, major or minor, that concern the interests of us both. By the Deputation appointed by the Foreign Board to visit the Mission Fields, Dr. Thomas H. Mackenzie and Dr. William I. Chamberlain, the Woman’s Board has sent greetings to the Missions in China, India, Japan and Arabia. It has pledged to Dr. Chamberlain and Dr. Mackenzie its constant remembrance in prayer, and has requested them to bring back a report of woman’s work in each field. W e expect them to point out to us many things we might have done and did not, many things that we yet may do to strengthen the hands of those who represent us in the front line of service. An afternoon and evening spent by the executive officers of our two Foreign Boards in friendly intercourse with the other Foreign Missions Boards of the Presbyterian— Re­ formed family established cordial relations among us and strengthened the bond of our fellowship. Our relationships with outside agencies have drawn largely on the time and strength of many members of the Board. Miss Lawrence continues her connection with the Northfield Committee, the Committee on the United Study of Missions and the Interdenominational Committee on Christian Litera­ ture, Mrs. Knox with the Federation of. Women’s Foreign Missionary Societies and the General Committee of the Interchurch World Movement. The President was a mem­ ber of the Committee on the Field Program of the Inter­ church World Movement at the National Conference at Atlantic City. The Corresponding Secretary has served on sub-committees of the Committee of Reference and Counsel, and on the General Committee of the Interchurch. Our Board has had representatives not only at the National Sur­ vey Conference of the Interchurch World Movement, but at the Women’s National Conference held in Washington and at the State conferences of New Jersey, Western New York, the New York Metropolitan District, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin and Iowa. Mrs. Wayer, Vice-President for the Synod of Chicago, after attending the National Women’s Conference at Washington, plunged at once into prepara­ tions for the State conferences at Milwaukee, Des Moines, Chicago and Jackson. She not only served on the Com­ mittee of Arrangements for the Michigan Conference, but secured a goodly attendance of Reformed Church women and afterwards lent herself to several of the County con­ ferences in that State. Mrs. Fagg and Mrs. Hondelink gave valiant service to the Commitee of Arrangements for the Western New York Conference at Rochester and re­ ported back a great new vision gained and a new impulse for service given to those women of Rochester and Mont­ gomery Classes who were able to attend. Conferences.— A succession of conferences in January was of peculiar significance and' interest. From the Survey Conference at Atlantic City, where we had presented to us the great need of a yet unreached world for Christ and were shown the available financial resources of the Church to meet this need, we went at once to the memorable Student Volunteer Convention at Des Moines where, in the faces of over 6,000 college students, we read the resources of the Church in young manhood and womanhood, eager for serv­ ice if they but catch the vision. From Des Moines we sped back to the Foreign Missions Conference at New Haven where, in the light of these two revelations, the leaders of the Foreign Missions Boards resolved to under­ take boldly a larger program for the Kingdom of God. The influence of the Interchurch World Movement and of the Reformed Church Progress Campaign have been felt in the conferences of our Classical Missionary Unions. In the fall there was a consciousness that we were feeling our way to greater things; in the spring there was a grateful sense of achievement. In the Classes whose gifts to the Boards have far exceeded their contributions of last year there has been great jubilation. “T h e n the people rejoiced because they offered willingly; because with a perfect heart they offered willingly to the Lord.” Stewardship.— Just here it seems wise to sound a note of warning, to remind the societies that doubling and redoub­ ling of gifts can not go on indefinitely, that in the financial uncertainty ahead of us a fifty per cent, or a hundred per cent, increase is an unsafe method to propose, that the stewardship method of a definite proportion of income set apart systematically for the Lord’s work is the sane and logical method of financing the Kingdom. Itineraries.— If we had attempted to make this year, as last, a visitation of the Classes in the interest of missions, we should probably have been balked by'weather conditions, as was Miss Winn in her effort to visit the churches of Montgomery and Northern Philadelphia Classes. Miss Winn admitted that she had never seen such snowdrifts even in Aomori. It was a sore disappointment to her to return to her home in Alabama without making more widely known the message that is ever in her heart and on her lips— the need of her Japanese people for the good news of Jesus Christ. The Classis of Paramus has had the privilege of a visit from its own particular missionary, Miss Kuyper, to their mutual gratification. Mrs. Honegger has made a tour of the Classis of Orange, with whose people she had early associations. In a visit to the Riverside Church of Paterson, which claims her as its missionary, Mrs. Honegger was sur­ prised with a generous gift— the first contribution toward the Social Center in Vellore for which by the request of the Mission she is raising a fund of $10,000. Miss Hendrine Hospers, the “Young Women’s Missionary,” by special invitation of the young women of the West made a visit in the fall to several of the societies in the western Classes, and is now visiting the eastern churches, making warm friends among them. Miss Lily Duryee, Mr. and Mrs. Walter Scudder, Mr. and Mrs. John Warnshuis, Dr. and Mrs. Livingston Warn­ shuis, Dr. and Mrs. Albertus Pieters, Mrs. S. M. Zwemer and many members of the Board, by their ready response to invitations from churches and societies, have helped to arouse and stimulate interest. Mrs. Wayer writes from the West: “The larger centers have been most effectively reached in this way ; the rural churches should have the benefit of such missionary visits as well.” In this opinion the Woman’s Board most heartily concurs. In order that some societies should not be over-fed and others under-fed, we recommend that in the future societies in the Synods of Chicago and Iowa make their requests for speakers through the Vice-Presidents of those Synods, Mrs. Wayer and Mrs. Pietenpol, rather than by direct invitation to the mission­ aries themselves. This will constitute the Vice-Presidents of the Western Synods a clearing house for missionary speakers for the western churches as the New York office is for the East. This new ruling is not intended to limit the liberty of any society to make use of furloughed mis­ sionaries resident in their own community, but merely to make a more equable distribution of speakers and to con­ serve the strength of the missionaries. j Missionaries.— The missionaries who “were with us a year ago have returned to their fields of service :—To Arabia,* Dr. Hosmon and Miss Schafheitlin; to Japan, Mrs. Booth (for­ merly Miss Dick), and Miss Noordhoff; to India, Mrs. Lange — also Miss Conklin accompanied by Mrs. Conklin, whose presence and counsel the Board sorely misses; to China, Miss Duryee, Miss Norling and Miss Petra Johnsen, a graduate nurse from Peekskill Hospital who will fill Miss Murman’s place at Wilhelmina Hospital during Miss Murman’s fur­ lough. The Scudder granddaughters, Miss Maude and Miss Ruth Scudder, appointed last year to India, have safely reached their destination. Miss Matilda Berg has also arrived in India after- several months of relief work in Smyrna. It is our privilege today to commission for service in China, Miss Tena Holkeboer of Holland, Michigan, graduat­ ing in June from Hope College and Miss Jean Nienhuis, also of Holland, a graduate nurse from Blodgett Memorial Hospital of Grand Rapids, and for industrial work in India, Miss Alice Smallegan, sister of Mrs. H. E. Van Vranken of Tindivanam. W e are deeply regretting the necessity for Mrs. Beattie’s resignation from the Arcot Mission. Hers is a place that will be hard to fill. Miss Alice Van Doren is reported in London on her way home for furlough. ’ Our sympathy goes out to Mrs. Voskuil as she journeys homeward under the shadow of a great bereavement in the recent death of her father, Mr. Shepard. Changes in the Home Force.— In the working forces here at home have come changes. ■ From the roll of our Honor­ ary Vice-Presidents one has passed into the goodly fellow­ ship of the saints made perfect. With Miss Van Santvoord it was just one forward step in the daily walk with God; she was not, for God took her. Her generosity to the cause of Missions had been lavish and with characteristic forethought she had made generous provision for the Board in her will. In her recent tour of the Mission Fields she en­ deared herself to many of our missionaries and they, with, us, are missing a valued friend. Earlier in the year the call came with equal suddenness to Mrs. James H. Gillespie of New Brunswick, whose in­ fluence for the cause of Missions and for every other good cause is sorely missed in her community. Her.mantle has fallen upon her daughter, Mrs. George W. Martin, whose appointment to succeed her mother as Classical Committee for the Classis of New Brunswick is gladly recorded. Other Classical Committees who have served us long and faithfully have been obliged either by physical infirmity or pressing home cares or for other valid reasons' to give over their duties, always with the assurance that their inter­ est in the work - is as warm and zealous as ever. The changes are as follows: ' Classis Former Committee New Committee Pella Mrs. G. S. Baron Mrs. H. W . Pietenpol Passaic Mrs. J. H. Brown Mrs. John L. Houston So. Bergen Mrs. J. Boyd Hunter Mrs. Abram Duryee N e w Brunswick Mrs. J. H. Gillespie Mrs. G. W . Martin Orange Mrs. B. S. Galloway Mrs. Theodore Bayles Raritan Mrs. James L.

We have welcomed also to Board membership during the year, Mrs. W. A. Ackerman of Somerville, New Jersey; Mrs. D. V. B. Hegeman of Brooklyn; Mrs. Fitzhugh Speer, daughter of our late President, Mrs.' David Burrell; Mrs. Henry W. Pietenpol of Pella and Mrs. John H. Bran- dow of Schoharie. Foreign Reports.— Since the Corresponding Secretary’s work has been entirely in the field of home administration, no mention is made in this report of the work in the foreign fields. The story of the year in India, China, Japan and Arabia will be found in the detailed reports of the Foreign Corresponding Secretaries. W e would, however, make par­ ticular mention of the honor bestowed by the British Gov­ ernment upon Dr. Ida S. Scudder in conferring upon her the Kaiser-i-Hind medal. W e congratulate Dr. .Scudder- upon this well-deserved recognition of her distinguished ser­ vice. Young Women’s Report.— The story of the' activities of the Young Women’s Department, of its fields of work and its successes will be found in the reports of the acting Chair­ man on Young Women’s Work and the Field Secretary. Editorial Secretary’s Report.— Miss Lawrence reports as follows: M o n t h by m o n t h through- the “Mission Field” the missionaries have kept us in touch with their varied and numerous activities, and by the sa me means the W o m a n ’s Board has endeavored to be helpful to the auxiliaries. • In h a r m o n y with the plans of the Progress C ampaign the contributions to the Christian Intelligencer have been in accord with the designated monthly topics. As heretofore our communications have appeared in the Leader, and one also in the Interchurch Bulletin. It is gratifying to k n o w that between 600 and 700 copies of “T h e Crusade of Compassion” have been bought by our societies. Leaflets printed during the year are: “A D a y with Dr. Ida Scudder,” reprinted from the “Mission Field.” “People on our Street,” by Mrs. A. Pieters. “The Tea-Kettle’s Message,” by Miss Sara M. Couch. “Publish Glad Tidings.” “Yes or No,” by Miss Charlotte C. Wyckoff. “T h e Doctor Lady,” by M!rs. E. E. Calverley. “Living in Tents,” by Rev. John H. Warnshuis. “Wisdom’s School Days,” by Mrs. Knud Lange. “W o m e n ’s Schools in China,” by Mrs. A. L. Warnshuis. “From M y Upper Windows,” by Mrs. H. V. E. Stegeman. A request for a large n u mb e r of Miss Norling’s “A S o n g of Spring,” m a d e it advisable to have a second edition.

A s supplementary material for use with the textbook for 1920, “T h e Bible and Missions,” w e shall have the following leaflets: “The M a n with the Wonderful Books,” a chapter from Rev. Dr. Chamberlain’s book, “T h e Tiger Jungle.” “Wonderful Words of Life,” by Mrs. Walter T. Scudder, M. D. “T h e Gospel on Wheels,” “T h rough Paper Doors,” “T h e Bible W o m a n of Japan,” by Miss M. Leila Winn. “Planting,” “T h e Story the M a tc h - B o x Told,” by Mrs. E. E. Cal­ verley, M . D. “But God Took a Man and— ,” by Mrs. Herman Renskers. T h e intrinsic value of the printed page is immeasurable. A s con­ tributors to the “Christian Literature Committee,” w e are grateful for having a share in the first $1,000 which was used to translate and publish the Gospel of St. M a r k in the n e w phonetic script which has recently been introduced in China. Past and Future.— As we look back over the year, we see everywhere the indications of God’s favor in the clear direc­ tion He has given to our judgments and decisions and in the fine spirit of cooperation in the churches. With grateful hearts we acknowledge His goodness and pledge Him anew the loyalty of lives devoted to His service. We have not already attained; we are very far from perfection, but we are pressing on. Our ambition for our Board arid for the women of the Reformed Church is that we may discern the plan and program of God for His Kingdom and for ourselves as related to it, and that we may trustfully and confidently take each forward step that is in the mind of Christ for us. " E liza P. Cobb, • . * Corresponding Secretary. REPORT OF YOUNG W O M E N ’S FOREIGN COMMITTEE In the 1919-1920 our Foreign Committee has met on Saturday mornings, the same week as the Board meetings. Illness and weather conditions have affected the attendance but work assigned has been done faithfully and well. Miss Marion J. Benedict, of North Tarrytown, N. Y., is our only new member. She is also acting as Classical Repre- senative for Young Women’s Work in the Classis of West­ chester. When Miss Landrine was appointed Secretary of the Young Women’s Committee the Periodical Exchange was turned over to Miss Hawley. This work was presented in the March Mission Field. To her pen also we owe the pageant “The Secret of Happiness,” published by the Boards for the use of young women’s societies. Miss Van Brunt as Editor of the Young Women’s Department in the Mission Field has stimulated interest in the work of the Kingdom. She has also prepared and sent out the annual appeal to the college girls for our union colleges at Madras and Tokyo. This was in the form of a leaflet called “Education is not Enough— It must be Christian.” We are hoping societies as well as individuals will interest themselves in these colleges. Several of our members have been active in promoting Group Conferences and all are helping prepare progams to be pre­ sented in the Mission Field. Miss Green, our Vice-Chairman for the Synod of Albany, has assisted in the starting of several Leagues for Service, lent a helping hand to others and promoted a Group Con­ ference. Our Vice-Chairman for Chicago, Miss Westveer, reports that more interest in the work has been aroused by Group Conferences. She feels that the splendid financial showing made by their young women’s societies was due to this increased interest. The attendance of Miss Luidens at the Winona Conference and the visits of Miss Hospers and Miss Davis have been a great help. We want to thank the Board for making these visits pos­ sible, also for Camp Eendracht at Northfield where the girls have a chance to receive so much inspiration from daily inter­ course with a missionary. The appointment of Mrs. H. J. Scudder as Camp Leader for this season and of Miss Olcott as her associate are a real pleasure to us. Miss Jelleme and Miss Post have been assigned to help Mrs. Scudder in her preparations. The fact that the greater portion of the girls in our churches are self-supporting and unable to attend the usual missionary meetings has been faced. Group Conferences with supper or without seem to be the solution. These, with the splendid speakers provided by the • Boards, to­ gether with the steady conscientious work of our Field Secretary, Miss Davis, have brought added gifts as well as interest. Our budget has been more than met. Our objects were the same but like growing children required much more nourishment. The portion of Dr. Hosmon’s work in Arabia was new. Dr. Hosmon herself and the leaflet “In Maskat with the Doctor,” roused so much enthusiasm that part of Dr. Hosmon’s travelling expenses were paid from the surplus of gifts for her work.

M abel B. Littell, Chairman. REPORT OF FIELD SECRETARY FOR YOUNG WOMEN AND STUDENT WORK

What can be said for the young women to convey the spirit of the year’s work, the keeping step with the progress of events, and the forward look and vision into their possi­ bilities and responsibilities for service! Full five years have passed since the first report of a Field Secretary for Young Women and while space does not allow a statistical com­ parison to show the growth of the Young Women’s Work, definite facts could be given of increased activities and larger vision and deeper spiritual realization of responsibility. The work has proceeded in cooperation with and through the Young Women’s Committee which has aimed to function effectively and progressively. Besides this, the Field Secre­ tary has met monthly with the Joint Advisory Committee of the Women’s Boards to report details of the work, to seek counsel and direction, and thus to come into contact, with both the Women’s Boards. . In reporting for 1919-1920 the temptation comes to give detailed account of growth in various young women’s organi­ zations. The Young Women’s Church League for Service is increasing in number and scope, and of the 33 new societies formed this year, 24 have taken the recommended name. Practically all are carrying the program of work recommended for the young women and intelligent cooper­ ation and contact with the Young Women’s office is con­ stantly evident. As an example, one new organization writes, “We get new members at every meeting. ... I have sent checks to both the Women’s Boards.” It is in­ teresting to note the first young women’s society at which the Field Secretary was present in 1915. It was a small group of girls in Iowa who came to hear about the Young Women’s Work. They organized that day their little society and, although backward and uninitiated in the way to pro­ ceed, they managed to raise $16 the first year. This year they report 27 members and gifts of $100 to the Woman’s Board of Foreign Missions and $130 to the Women’s Board of Domestic Missions. Programs are quite generally used at meetings and word reaches the office of the value of programs published monthly in the Young Women’s De­ partment of the Mission Field. This year these related to the work supported by the young women with two pre­ pared by the General Christian Service Committee. In the fall a “Message” was sent to each organization telling of events and points to note, and calling attention to special parts of the work. This spring an “Aim for 1920-1921” was similarly distributed giving practical suggestions of how League members can actually be “Leagued for Service.” Field Secretary for Y o u n g W o m e n 61 # In reviewing the condition of the Young Women’s work, it should be mentioned that girls’ organizations sometimes cease to exist in a way that is not true of the women’s. This is due chiefly to lack of leadership in a community or church for a period of time. When a leader or director is found the organization functions again. This year has brought to end some organizations that were half dead or- merely a name, so that the present total of 307 young women’s societies throughout our denomination represents a live and working body of young women. The gifts con­ tributed by a large number of these to the Women’s Boards have substantially increased while Leagues just starting definitely plan for immediate financial support which was not true of many former organizations. The increase is evident, for, from practically the same total number of organizations, the support of the work has actually doubled in the past three years with each year promising a larger increase. The financial side of the work is greatly strengthened by the efforts and interest of young women’s societies in the Par­ ticular Synod of Chicago. The enthusiasm and helpfulness of these societies are a great encouragement and we know they enjoy the blessing of such effective service for the ex­ tension of Christ’s Kingdom on earth. Some special points in the year’s work are as follows: Group Conferences.— These have been held with success in the following centers: Mt. Vernon, N. Y.; North Bergen, N. J.; Albany, N. Y.; Schenectady, N. Y.; New York; Chat­ ham, N. Y.; Holland, Mich.; Grand Rapids, Mich.; Kala­ mazoo, Mich. The plans for these groups have been carried out in various ways but each has had a value in bringing together in good numbers those who have never shared in the Young Women’s Work and those already organized to hear of the work and to know the missionaries. To the members of the Women’s Boards who have spoken at these conferences, to the missionaries, and to all who have worked in the churches to make them the success that they were, the young women and the Field Secretary for Young Women are deeply grateful. An outgrowth of these has been suppers followed by a missionary program in local churches which have brought together the young women from one commun­ ity. The appointments of the Field Secretary have been diverse. Several Woman’s Classical Conferences were ad­ dressed during the fall and spring so that this year com­ pletes the entire list of Woman’s Missionary Conferences which have had presented the Young Women’s Work, and the visits of the Field Secretary have included every classis of the denomination except the three most remote,— the Cascades, Germania, Pleasant Prairie. Interdenominational Conferences.— The year has brought the usual conferences and the following were attended by the Field Secretary: Eastern Student at Silver Bay, N. Y., June, 1919. Home and Foreign Missionary Conferences at Northfield, July, 1919. Quadrennial Student Volunteer Convention at Des Moines, Dec. 30, 1919— Jan. 4, 1920. Space does not allow any remarks upon these great meet­ ings except to say that the usual denominational rally at the Silver Bay Conference was in charge of the Field Secretary, at which some 20 Reformed Church girls were met, interviewed, and presented with the work and needs of the Women’s Boards. At the Northfield Home and Foreign Mission Con­ ferences the Field Secretary acted as Camp Secretary thus, for the first time satisfactorily providing for the preliminary preparations for Eendracht at the conferences and attending to the secretarial matters in regard to the Camp. The Stud­ ent Volunteer Convention at Des Moines was a great inspir­ ation with its 7,000 student delegates and its wonderful pro­ gram showing the need of the world for Jesiis Christ. The Reformed Church students met with the secretaries and mis­ sionaries of the Board during one of the sessions and other opportunities were given for further interviews. Classis of Pella.— The Des Moines Convention made pos­ sible a week’s visit to the young women in the Classis of Pella when every day was spent in speaking to young women’s societies, in coming to a clearer understanding of the field and opportunities of these young people, and effec­ tive discussion of plans. The cordiality of the people, the visits to Central College, and various friendly and business appointments of the week added greatly to the helpful and memorable benefits of the visit. Again the inadequacy of a report is apparent. How can one gather up and put into words the many meetings at­ tended, the personal talks with people, the furtherance of plans through the Young Women’s Committee and in the local societies! How can the correspondence and all it in­ volves be touched upon, the meeting with the people, here and there, on Anniversary days of our Women’s Boards, at conferences, in local churches, in the office be realized! All these things and much more,— the printing and distribution of literature, making real to the young women the Progress Campaign, and plans for every forward step— these belong to the routine of the daily task. Yet we feel the interest on the part of the girls, that they are catching a vision of the new earth that we would bring about,— for, after all, it is not the detail that we would remember but the great object toward which we are working— that all the world may know Him. In the words of Oxenham, we are “Leagued for Ser­ vice” and we labor with our eyes open and the forward look: “God grant us wisdom in these coming days, A n d eyes unsealed, that w e clear visions see Of that new world that H e would have us build, To Life’s ennoblement and His high ministry. Not of our own might can we hope to rise A b o v e the ruts and soilures of the past, But, with His help W h o did the first earth build, W i t h hearts courageous w e m a y fairer build this last. — F r o m “ The Vision Splendid.” Frances D avis. • Field Secretary.

REPORT OF THE BABY ROLL Although the present Secretary was elected in May, she did not take up her duties until Fall owing to absence from home, and Mrs. Scudder kindly consented to continue with the work during the Summer. Since our last report 464 new babies have been enrolled, and $540.10 sent to the Treasurer of the Woman’s Board of Foreign Missions. Of these the church at Cedar Grove, Wis., has the largest enrollment, and by far the greatest number of societies interested are in the Michigan and Iowa churches. In two or three cases the dollar has been given by the mother in memory of her little one who “is safe in the arms of Jesus.” To all of us the cry of little children all over the world at this time is most heartrending and appealing. Many are orphans, many more fatherless, and thousands starving. And as we think of the little ones in China, who, but for our Home there would die of neglect, or grow up to live lives of shame, can we not take a new interest in the work of the Baby Roll ? In the coming year may we not have as our goal 1,000 babies, which will bring nearly double the amount contributed this year. Surely each Christian mother is willing to give one dollar in gratitude to God for the little life which has been given to her, and in this way help the “Pity Little Children Hall” in Amoy, China. It is hoped soon to carry out the suggestion of the Direc­ tors, and to inaugurate a “Follow-up Plan” which will keep the mothers and babies here interested in this work. Caroline R aven M acLean, Secretary. REPORT OF THE SEWING GUILD

The Sewing Guild Committee cannot altogether agree with the general criticism that 1919 was a depressing year in which nothing really worth while was accomplished, when it con­ siders that, largely in the spring of that year, ninety-six societies of women, girls and children of the Reformed Church, realizing that “W e are not here to play, to dream, to drift, W e have hard w o r k to do and loads to lift,” gave generously of materials, of their time and labor, and $303 in money for the purchase of further supplies and for transportation, in order that the burdens of the overseas workers of our church might be somewhat lightened. Though the number of contributors is small in comparison with the total number of societies, their efforts are hardly to be measured in such terms. What is important is the personal touch between the workers at home and the mis­ sion fields and the institutions there, resulting in deepening interest and a spirit of sacrifice. So it is a pleasure to note evidences of these in many of the letters received. One who has learned of the heart’s desire of the school children writes: “Dolls were almost out of the question for the soci­ ety to buy as a whole, but I have asked each member, if she could possibly afford it, to present me with a gift of some kind of doll, be it small or great, all nicely dressed, so as not to disappoint those dear children of their joys after studying so hard for them— and I had many promises.” The chairman would add that, judging from the box received, the promises were kept. From another friend we hear: “I am a reader of the Mission Field, and have noticed that our missionaries can use picture cards. I have taken time and strength to fix them up, and hope that they will make some poor children glad. I am an invalid, confined to my bed half the time.” This word from Japan seems to be almost a direct reply to her: “We are very glad to receive the cards, as they are a great help in our work, the children being very happy to get them.” Another missionary tells us that her helpers in the Sunday Schools always remember in their prayer group those “friends in the foreign land that have sent us the - fine pictures for the Japanese children.” What a slight effort to be remembered for, yet how much it is appreciated by our Japanese co-workers. New interest is awakened by the visits of missionaries to the societies. ■ In fact the Sewing Guild home mail is often quite an accurate record of the travels of missionaries home on furlough. Of one we are told: “One lady said, ‘If you were not interested in missions before hearing her, you could not help but be after,’ and I had a contribution from her for the Sewing Guild.” Many women and girls in the churches all agree that a “real joy-bringing box” is very worth while in the prepar­ ation, and the Committee shares in that joy as it goes about its task of unpacking, sorting, dividing and re-pack­ ing. Here the Chairman wishes to pay a tribute and record her indebtedness to the faithful members of the Committee. Without the loyal co-operation of those few the labor would indeed be overwhelming. When apportion­ ing the articles received one is continually reminded of the story of Abraham Lincoln walking with his two little boys who were crying lustily. A neighbor asked what the mat­ ter was. “Just what’s the matter with the whole world,” replied Mr. Lincoln. “I have three walnuts and each boy wants two.” Last year 150 sheets were sent, and one hos­ pital asked for 600; 580 dolls were received, and one mis­ sionary needed over 400 for her schools. And when the boxes reach the fields the same difficulty must be met. A missionary, acknowledging their arrival, says: “Never .were 'we so in need of them, when cloth is at such an impossible price. The number of garments was very short this year, and the number of girls larger than ever before. They have all been given out, and I look with trepidation at the empty shelves, and wonder where the girls are going to get their next supply from.” And that report of empty shelves and cupboards is found in letter after letter, from station after station. It is from those on the fields that we learn to appreciate what the boxes mean, even if they do not contain the desired quota of dolls, petticoats and other treasures. . A letter from Mesopotamia helps us realize the burdens that rest on the people there. “Thank you very much for the help. The need here is greater than ever before. I had to buy $75 worth of material in the winter, and then there were numbers unprovided for; so I shall be very glad to get the money which is being sent by the Sewing Guild. Will you give them my thanks for the poor people whom it is going to help. I have seen so many cases of absolute poverty that it has made me very miserable not to be able to give the needed relief. These people are suffering because of conditions brought about by the war— who, because of sickness, weakness or blindness cannot earn anything, and the bazaar prices are simply terrible; so these poor people get far less to eat and to wear, and they never got too much— more often not enough.” ' And in India, too, we are told that “the poor are always with us. There are widows with little children, orphans and very poor people, by whom a jacket, a petticoat or a slip to cover a little brown body when brought for bap­ tism, is greatly appreciated. That any boxes are sent under present conditions proves that there are those at home who are taking an interest, and who are doing for Him, and helping us, not counting the cost. And how it all helps we cannot begin to tell.” From a country station in China we have an account of the pleasure derived from the things sent there. “Here our girls never have and never see anything, not a blessed thing but pigs, chickens, water-buffalos and dirty little brothers, sisters and cousins, and their dear little hearts are made very happy with a handkerchief, face-cloth or a writing pad; so we send our best thanks for everything. At the end of the term we have a farewell party for the girls. The veranda is decorated with the presents, and the place takes on a gay and festive appearance when everything is hung on lines stretched criss-cross from pillars to win­ dows. It looks quite like a County Fair, and you should heard the ‘Oh’s’ and ‘Ah’s’ as the girls arrive, and you should see the sparkle in their eyes. Every girl walks about looking at all the gifts, and, I think, finally makes up her mind which one she hopes to get. When the time comes for the distribution of the presents, we begin with the highest class, and the girl with the highest mark. She is blindfolded and allowed to choose what she likes best from her section. It is not very easy to go to that particular handkerchief with the broad pink border, but they often manage to do it. I like to have dolls for the beginners’ class, but since the war we have not had enough to go around. Last term I spent some time sewing and pasting up some broken pieces which had once been dolls, and in that way I got enough to give to those who had never been in school before, and therefore of course had never had a doll.” When the Sewing Guild was organized its first efforts were to supply petticoats for the schools in India, and no report is complete without mention of them and the jackets. From one school we hear: “I never was so glad to receive the letter from the Sewing Guild, for I am nearly at the end of my supplies. Our girls wear their petticoats till they are in rags, and a new one is never given out so long'as there is any wear at all in the old one. Their stock of colored petticoats is one for church, one to wear, and one at the dhobie’s. And the jackets are all being worn, and I wish I had many more. With a family of 98 to provide for, one’s needs are many. What a blessing it is that we do not need shoes, stockings, handkerchiefs and hair ribbons! Kindly convey to those who contribute to the Sewing Guild my very grateful thanks for the boxes. I do not see how we could carry on without the help the Sewing Guild gives. The decrease of the last years, owing to war conditions, has made us realize more fully what a big thing the workers have been doing for us.” It is not often that we get the viewpoint of the school girls themselves, but recently the following letter was re­ ceived from one of them: M y dear Miss B --- , I a m very glad to write and thank you for the pretty dolls, skirts, and other things for our school. Yesterday w e (Sth and 6th forms) had one Domestic E c o n o m y period leisure because our teacher w a s away. In that period w e had a practical Domestic E c o n o m y class, unpacking the clothes b o x with Miss W — . W e had a very jolly time unpacking the things and putting them in order. Especially w h e n w e took out the dolls, w e all broke the tenth comm a n d m en t . W e wanted the dolls to play with and m a k e n e w dresses for them. I wished I could be depromoted to the Kinder­ garten class so that Miss V --- or Miss W --- would give m e a doll as she had given the babies, or at least she would give a doll w h e n I would sing a lullaby. . . . W e were very glad to get the jackets w h e n w e wanted them very badly. W e were making jackets because w e did not have any left. W e could not m a k e them fast enough so as to provide all the little girls. After they came, the very afternoon, Miss W --- sat before the closet and gave them to the girls. Soon they were all gone, and w e are making s o me more. Every girl w h o m akes a jacket tries to m a k e prettily for the particular girl she is given. The wrappers for the babies made us very happy, and one of them was given to our youngest member in the school. I a m one of the tallest girls in our school, so the skirts were not long enough and I had to put pieces. This time we have two long skirts which are long enough for me. . . . W h e n w e wear the skirts and jackets w e think of you. Often I imagine you all sitting in a sewing class making our dresses. W e are ever grateful for this. W e think of all the trouble you take for us, and m a k e up our minds to do our part for our country w h e n w e leave the school. Girls are not allowed to go out and w o r k unless they are married; but in this school w e have very m u c h freedom, and the big girls join in the campaign w o r k with the congregation and try to help a little. Again I thank you and all the others w h o are so patiently and lov­ ingly working to help us. With much love, from ' Y o u r grateful child, D evanbu E benezer. There are many references to the children in these quota­ tions. At this time when special emphasis is being laid on conditions prevailing among children in war-devastated countries, and in our own, and many appeals are being made for them, let us not “leave the other undone.” In the big task of transforming those children whose lives are awry and stunted— the products of heathenism— into happy, normal children, the contributors to the Sewing Guild have a share, though it be a humble one; so let us continue to make extra gifts, to sew and to send for the sake of Him who said, “It is not the will of your Father which is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish.” Sarah A.

Zeeland, Mich., Second The Forty-sixth Anniversary The Woman’s Board of Foreign Missions celebrated its forty-sixth May Anniversary on Tuesday, May 18, 1920, at 10:30 o’clock, in the Clinton Avenue Reformed Church, New­ ark, N. J. The interior of the church, which was adorned with beautiful lilies and lilacs, presented an inviting picture. There were over six hundred representatives from our vari­ ous churches present. Mrs. Frederick A. Baldwin, the Presi­ dent of the Board, presided in her usual effective maimer. = The Rev. Albertus T. Broek, pastor of the church, led in the opening devotional exercises. This was followed by a cordial welcome on the part of Mrs. Broek in her capacity as President of the Classical Union of Newark. In her response, Mrs. Baldwin gave an admirable presen­ tation of the theme, “The Open Door.” Her address was concluded with the following words of challenge: “Does any one doubt that the world’s greatest need is Christ? If this be true, were foreign missions ever more important? Hold­ ing to one purpose, together through these years we have built up at great cost of thought, time, labor, money, yes and life, a work that was never more needed than in this critical hour of the world’s history. It is my duty to remind you that were we. now to divide our interest and resources and divert our energies, by permitting other movements to chan­ nel through our organizations, we should deal a blow to the work to which we are obligated that would be felt in the uttermost parts of our .foreign mission fields. The Woman’s Board of Foreign Missions appeals to you to con­ tinue to hold steadily to our purpose. As we face the un­ paralleled opportunities of the future let us find encourage­ ment and hope in the words we have quoted: “For though your strength be small, I know your works, and lo, I have set before you an open door and no man can shut it.” Miss Katharine Van Nest then gave the Treasurer’s state­ ment, which was most encouraging, reporting that, whilst the deficit for the year was the largest on record, the receipts also reached the high water mark, totaling $139,510.80. Miss Van Nest pointed out that the deficit was due to the present unfavorable rate of foreign exchange. In closing she re­ marked that this is the day of God’s creative powers and that we ought to be proud to have a share in His work of creation. Among the announcements given by the Corresponding Secre­ tary, Miss Eliza P. Cobb, the names of the officers for the com­ ing year were read. Miss Cobb also presented the memorial in honor , of the late Miss Anna T. Van Santvoord, which was adopted by the Woman’s Board of Foreign Missions at the Jan­ uary meeting. This was followed by the singing of the mag­ nificent old hymn, “For all the saints who from their labors rest.” It was the sincere tribute of the great company who were present to the memory of a faithful servant called into the presence of the Father. Greetings were then heard from our missionaries on fur­ lough. Mrs. Walter T. Scudder told of the urgent desire for higher education on the part of the young women of India. Mrs. A. L. Warnshuis expressed the conviction that the native women of China ought themselves to be the big­ gest evangelizing force in the lives of their sisters. Miss Jennie M. Kuyper of Ferris Seminary touched upon Japan’s one great need as viewed with a Western perspective, namely, more of Christ. Mrs. Henry Honegger, in describing her work at Vellore, India, spoke feelingly of the personal touch as revealed through the work in the Social Center. She said that the women of India were yearning for a sympathy and interest which we alone could give, that their lives might be trans­ formed. She closed with this cry from their lips: “Oh women, dowered with wealth and power, . -. . In His name who died we beg you come with speed.” After the offering, which was for the Hindu Girls’ School and Social Center at Vellore, a solo was effectively rendered by Mr. E. E. Ross. The offertory prayer was given by Mrs. Douglas. Miss Mabel Littell made a brief statement in behalf of the Young Women’s Work and appealed to the “Mother Societies” to inspire the younger women of their churches to an interest in the cause of Christ in foreign lands. Miss Hendrine Hospers, the Young Women’s missionary, brought greetings from Japan. Especially heartening was her com­ ment that the little ones of Japan are leading their elders to Christ. The address of the morning was delivered by Mrs. John H. Warnshuis, M. D., of India. Her words concerning the necessity of further work among the women of India were timely and convincing. She said that the work of ministry had been carried on among the women in three separate groups: first, among those in the isolated villages; second, among those near the centers; and third, among the native Christian women. The vital need , in each case, as she re­ vealed it, was the womanly touch. She remarked that 150,000,000 little women in India are waiting to be asked to follow Christ. “In the East,” she concluded, “streaks of light are breaking and the dawn of a new day is near, but day­ break can only come with the help of those of the West.” One could not listen to the graphic and impressive recital of the needs of the people among whom Mrs. Warnshuis is laboring without being deeply moved. There was beautiful The Forty-Sixth Anniversary /i appropriateness in the hymn which was next announced by • the President, and sung with great fervor by all present: “Christian, see, the orient morning Breaks along the heathen sky; L o ! the expected day is dawning, Glorious dayspring from on high.” After the morning session the visitors repaired to the Social Room where, as guests of the women of the Classis of New­ ark, they partook of luncheon. Ample provision had been made for everyone present, and hearty thanks are owing to the hostesses for their gracious friendliness and hospitality. The afternoon session was opened by Mrs. Baldwin with the announcement of the glorious hymn, ^Jesus shall reign where’er the sun.” The Rev. E. Porter Drumm, B.D., then led in prayer. In his greetings, Rev. E»r. Henry E. Cobb, the President of the Board of Foreign Missions, referred to a beautiful let­ ter written in 1862 to his mother, in which there was an appeal from India to have Dr. Scudder returned. There was not money at the time to send him back, so the native Christians raised the sum themselves. This was cited as an example of the truth that there are always noble Christian people somewhere who will rally to the support of a good cause. “But,” said he, “there are no ‘friendly citizens’— they are in the church already.” In all that he said Dr. Cobb sounded a strong note of hope and encouragement. Miss Smallegan, a newly appointed missionary, who is to leave for India .in the late summer, was next introduced by the President. Her greetings expressed the hope that she might be able to carry the “womanly touch.” Miss Katherine Olcott introduced a new note in her strong plea for greater interest in Camp Eendracht and the Foreign Missions week at Northfield. A unique privilege was accorded those present when Rev. Paul M. Kanamori, the leading evangelist of Japan, was in­ troduced as the next speaker. He voiced his gratitude to the Christians of America for their continued interest in his country. As an evidence of his belief that Japan’s day has really arrived he enumerated some of the outstanding features in his own wonderful campaign of soul-winning. During three and a half years Mr. Kanamori has preached a single sermon to 313,000. Of this number 48,338 have decided for Christ. He now holds out for himself the great objective of reaching 30,000,000, not only by means of his preaching cam­ paigns, but with the help of his well known book, “The A, B, C, of Christianity.” Japan is standing at the dividing line between Christianity and Heathenism and it is in our power to determine which it shall be. The country is in a receptive condition judging by Mr. Kanamori’s words. The iron is red hot now, and if we strike at once we can make anything of it, but when the iron cools, it will be impossible. The work of evangelizing Japan must take place in this gener­ ation. Our aim should be to see that the ideal of the day is fulfilled. After the offering the solo, “I know that my Redeemer liveth,” was sung by Miss Polhemus. The prayer of thanks­ giving was offered by Mrs. A. DeWitt Mason. Rev. Frank Eckerson of China gave the final address of the day. His talk was characterized by his appreciative reference to the work of our missionaries in the several fields he had visited. He mentioned particularly the many hardships that they are forced to endure, and described with sympathy the patient spirit displayed by all. He added to the slogan put forth by H. P. Davison in connection with Europe’s sad plight by saying: “It is not sufficient to cry, ‘America must save Europe!’ It is the church of America that shall save Europe.” His splendid message can be epitomized in his closing words: “Let us not stand on a pinnacle and watch the things of the world but let us stand on Calvary to see Him, for it is only God who can save the world through America.” The program of the day was brought to a fitting close by the singing of the stately hymn of consecration, “Christ for the World.” It aptly expressed the quickened feelings of all who had heard the testimony of the numerous speak­ ers. Somehow, the words of the old hymn seemed to ring out as an ideal for the coming year. May they indeed come nearer fulfillment. • “Christ for the world w e sing! . T h e world to Christ w e bring, • 1 • W i t h fervent prayer.”
