It is with great thankfulness to God .who has led me wherever J woule! let him, and to my feIlo~ workers who have patiently borne with my mistakes, that Imake·this my first report as District Superin tendent: All of the workers on Penang District have co-operated and worked hard to make this year a success. I n spite of people returning to I ndia and China, in spite of salaries unpaid. and appropriations cut, ·in spite of some illness the work has gone forward. The statistical report wi"Il show only a net gain of 8(;~) in membership but progress has been made in all departments. One young man from the District, Victor Paranjothy. is how in Leonard THeological School, I ndia. Four -others have expressed their desire to study for the Ill.iinistry. One young lady wants to be a medical missionary to China. The Gospel ·of Christ is taking root in Malaya. Memorial to the Rev. and Mrs. G. F. Pykett. Thousands of people attended the various beautiful Memorial Services held in loving memory of these two heroes of the cross who laboured in Penang' for 40 faithful years. The service held at the school was splendidly or ganized by !Vl iss Casso Two thousand school boys and "Old Boys" .attended and many prominent people paid glowing tribute to their friend and former Principal. I t has been decided that the new Chinese Church building in Penang shall be called the Pykett Memorial when it is erected. Bukit Mertajam with a population of 5,200 is the centre of our work in Province \Vellesley. The Girls' School under Miss \ValkeJr has done excellent work although many girls have had to drop out on account of falling family incomes. This school has the laigest 'Company of Girl Guides in Malaya. The Chinese Church with Mr. Lim Vau Thong as Pastor has had one of the best years in its history. The church is comfortably filled each Sunday and new members are bei,ng added continually, most of whom are men. The Sunday School is well organized by Miss Walker. The enrolment exceeds 85 and the average attendance is 50. This is a union Sunday :School ministering to both Tamil and Chinese children. The various organizations in Bukit Mertajam raised $40 for Home Missions this ,\-:ear. The Quarterly Conference has urgently requested a Bible \Yoman. Bukit Mertajam is also the residence of our Tamil pastor in charge ,of Kedah and Province Tamil Circuit. The Rev. V Devasahayam was transferred to Klang in January and we were glad to welcome the Rev. J. J. Kovilpillai. He has worked very hard in the face of many handicaps. The people in this section have been hard hit by the -slump and were unable to support him financially as was hoped. ~\'lany of them have also moved away. However, he has travelled DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENTS' REPORTS 31 faithfully, covered some 10,000 miles, and visit~d 42 estates and towns monthly and found Christian families that hitherto were unknown. An English Service has been held once each month in Bukit Mer tajam by the Rev. H. F Kuehn with an attendance of about 50. Kedah. \Ve have only 3 organized congregations with 52 members in the State of Kedah with a population of 429,000. In Sungei Patani with a population of 7,700 the Tamil Church has been under the general supervision of Brother Kovilpillai who has preached once a month and visited the people. This church will suffer a 'loss in the retirement of M r. Doraisamy a Local Preacher who has conducted the services thrice monthly for many years. The Sungei Patani people have looked at several sites for a church building and when the time is ripe will proceed to purchase one as they have $2,600 on depos.it with the Mission Treasurer. The Chinese Church has had a difficult year. Services have been held regularly but the church has not shown much real life. lVlany of our congregation at Bedong have moved away and the Anglo-Chinese School has lost many pupils. Mr. Moey Poh Soo has had poor health during part of the year and this may account for the lack of growth. Kulim, with a population of 5,800 is the centre of a growing district. This is quite largely a neglected opportunity. The Chinese Church has taken a fresh lease on life with the coming of Mlr. \Ven Pu Kian in July. He is young and somewhat inexperienced but fulE of life' and enthusiasm. The congregations have increased in size and a small Chinese school has been started. I n both Kulim and Sungei Patani we plan to start Sunday Schools immediately after the new year opens. Nebong Tebal. This town of 3.200 is the centre of a district of 33,000. The efforts of Mr. & Mrs. Oswald in this place are beginning to bear fruit. 1t is known as a· conservative Hindu .'Stronghold. The Spirit of God has been moving in the hearts of the people. The congregations have grown to the point where they comfortably fill the school hall used as a church. On Christmas Sunday 65 crowded in to worship. There have been a number of baptisms and 9 received into full membership. I am glad to see many labourers in this church, an example which might well be emulated by other Tamil Churches. The Sunday School has an enrolment of 200 and an average attendance of 150. In January two Christian teachers were transferred to Nebong Tebal from Penang. They have energetically entered into the Chris tian activities of the school and church, and made it possible to organize a Junior and an Epworth League. This has proved that a transfer is often beneficial to the person and the school involved. It was found advisable to organize an English congregation here. This church now has 7 full members and records 5 baptisms one of whom, a teacehr was baptised when a large number of the school boys were present. 'Ve rejoice to think of the influence of that baptism. 32 ;\lALAYA CONFERENCE, 1933 Paril Bunlar. This is a thriving town of 3,000, the centre of Krian district with 81, 000 population. We are happy to welcome the Appadurays from I poh. They have worked hard and put some new life into the place, but there are many discouragements. Brother Appaduray has not had good health nor has his family. He has, how ever, kept busy with the Lord's work in a most cheerful manner. The school has had a good year. He has almost transformed it with paint and colour-wash. It is still inadequate and we are renting a poor shop house for the Primary Department. The Government has made available six acres for a school on the new town plan. They aTe ready for us to put up a semi-permanent buildipg upon this for which we have $3,000 on hand. I believe the time has come for us either to do something in this town or' to give up. Brother AppaduTay deserves particular mention for the fact that two of his non-Christian teache~ were baptised during the yea'f. Penang Tamil Church. After nearly 40 years of existence this church has secured a site for a new building at a cost of $4,200. Under the able leadership of the Rev. Y. ]. Jesudason the people have been energetically collecting money, averaging $80 per month. I t now appears that a building can be erected du ring this year \vith less than a $2,000 debt at the time of dedication. This church has also fostered a Sunday School in the Patani Road coolie lines, with an average attendance of 50 which has been steadily growing during the year. Parents formerly beat th,eir children if they came, now 'the parents come themselves. This change has been largely brought about by taking some of the people to the hospital, visiting them there and bringing them back restored to health. Mr. Paranjothy teaches the men under one tree; Mrs. Vanniasingham the children under another. During the last few Sundays some of the women have been attending due to the influence of Mrs. Vanniasingham. The Tamil Church shows a creditable increase in membership. Wesley Church. This is one of the best years in the history of Wesley Church. During May the Rev. J. J. Kingham conducted revival meetings in the church and schools with most excellent results. People were converted. Backsliders were revived. Two weeks later 17 young men joined the church as preparatory members. Every month since has seen young men and women acknowledgmg Christ as their Saviour. This church will show a 17 010 increase in full members. The Rev. H. F. Kuehn, Associate Pastor, has been responsible for a good deal of this growth. As Headma-ster of the High School he has a very wonderful way of reaching boys and getting them to decide for Christ. This church has started a new Sunday School which is meeting a. real need. This church has also had a most successful year financially. The amount raised by subscriptions and offerings was nearly twice the budget for 1927. I t has been raised without the least difficulty. It .shO\vs what can b~ done when Jh~ people.are. educated in the joys of giving. This c~urch has helped to finance the work ~>n the whole Dist.rict. DISTRICT ·SUPERINTENDENTS' REPORTS 33 During the year a number of probationers and enquirers' classes were organized: 66 boys were in these at various times. They met once a week from 4 to 5 for sports and from 5 to 6 in classes; at 6 all gathered in the church for 10 minutes of worship. This made it easier for the boys to attend church the next Sunday. This has been a most effective way of reaching the boys. Penang Chinese Church. This church has had another banner year. There were 24 adult baptisms. 47 were received as Preparatory Members and 13 as full members; with a net increase of 42. The Rev. Lim Hong Ban has very quietly but effectively carried on his work. He and his people conducted a Daily Vacation Bible School at Jelutong, the first of its kind in Penang. I t enrolled 50 and had an average attendance of 44 for two weeks. The people have asked us to carryon a regular school here. and plans are under way to bring thi-s to fruition. The Parable of the Good Samaritan was successfully acted before a large crowd of appreciative villagers on the last day. The school has markedly increased the attendance and effectiveness of both the Sunday School and church in Jelutong. The reports of this school appeared in the Christian Advocates. The Chinese Church conducts three other Sunday Schools. The main one in connection with the church enrolls 250 in 13 classes. Eight special programmes have been observed on the big days of the year culminating in Decision Week \vhen many took a forward step. Mr. Khoo Cheng Hoe has very successfully carried forward this work for the last 12 years. At Tanjong Tokong, a fishing village, 60 children and women come regularly. f n the fourth there is neither chair nor desk; the long iron heams of a wholesale iron merchant are used. Miss Urech has done very excellent work in both of these places as well as in tha general programmes of the church. Mrs. Ang Swee fau. Bible Woman, has performed her work faithfully and very efficiently. Two thirds of the members are women and girls. f n years past this church had three Bible women. Mrs. Ang is now the sole Bible \Vom.an on the whole of Penang District. . A Junior Church was organized during the year. with an average attendance of 60. They made scrap books for the hospital and pur chased some medical supplies for the Home Mission work. The Junior Church has been a good success, considerably improving the atmosphere of worship in the senior church; both young and old have been gainers. The Rev. S. S. Pakianathan conducted a week of meetings with fine results. I t was a joy to see a Tamil brother preaching the words of life to a Chinese Congregation showing that after all we are one in our hopes, our joys, our aspirations, and devotion to one Lord and Master. Cantonese Church. This is one of our great opportunities. There are at least 10,000 Cantonese in Penang. We have only a handful in the Cantonese Church. .Many of these are old women. When one 34 MALAYA CoNFERENCE, 1933 administers communion here he realizes that Christ came for the lame, the blind, the sick and the halt as well as for the rest of us. Mr. Young Tiew Kong, a Chinese Local Preacher converted in California years ago, ha~ been in charge of this church. He has done his best, but poor health has forced him to resign. A good pastor must be found for this church. A Bible \\Toman is also urgently needed. Winchell Home under Miss Urech with an enrolment of 80 girls has helped many of the poor Christian famjlies with the education of their girls. There is now a good spirit in the Home. I t is unfortunate that previously it was left without a regular missionary lady in charge. Two classes of Probationers have been formed and .about 20 girls have joined the various churches. Alexandra Home has been used quite extensively this year. It is meeting a real need for the old, decrepit women from our churches. There have been 10 in residence during the year. ] t may be advisable for the Home to be moved to a less expensive site when this one can be sold, but it would seem unwise to abandon the project. Penang Schools. The Girls School completed their new annex of six rooms which was filled the day after it was completed and still the school is crowded. Preparatory membership classes have been organized in some of the regular Scripture periods. The spiritual tone of the schoo] is good. The Sunday Schoo] has 'likewise had a very successful year under Miss Harb. Boys'School. Our buildings are very inadequate and unless some thing can be done to improve them we shall find our enrolment will continue to drop. Aside from the falling enrolment, the school has had an excellent year. The furniture and equipment have been considerably improved as well as the financial condition. The school exhibit was the talk of the town. A large number of Sisters and 'Students from the Convent visited it as well as many old boys. Dr. Scharff, Senior Health Officer, was very much pleased with the Health Posters and . probably you will see some of these in public places in ,the near future . .M.iss Cass is to be congratulated on this fine showing. She has worked hard in the Middle School as well as in the Chinese Church and in \Ves]ey Church. She is one of the hardest workers in Penang Distrkt. Spiritually' this has been a fine year in the schools. Three of the teachers were baptised. More of the students than ever before are attending the various churches. The Rev. j. j. Kingham, Dr. jones, and the Rev S. S. Pakianath;m made profound impressions upon the students. New Features for the Year. \Ve were glad to welcome Miss Cass and Miss Harb in january and Mr. Reinoehl in May. All have done splendid work. I n Maya new school was opened in Bagan Serai. Dr. jones made a remarkable ~ontribution to the religious life of Penang. All the Methodist Churches united in a Christmas pageant given on the lawn at Hillview to a large crowd of people, many of whom had never heard the Christmas story.; the message was presented in three languages. DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENTS' REPORTS 35 Later it was presented in the T~mi1 and Chinese Churches to large and appreciative audiences. The Rev. W S. Reinoehl did splendid work in ·organizing and directing this pageant and has ably fitted into our pro grammes. During the year six teachers in the various schools on the _District were baptised. All the people on the District joined on 17th ,De~rhber to wish the Rev. & Mrs. H. F Kuehn a happy married life. There are open doors and many difficulties on Penang District. There are dozens of towns and villages where we have not yet proclaimed ,the gospel. When we think of the opportunities we are humbled and amazed; when we think of the power of the Gospel to save we are made .confident that some day Christ shall rule in the hearts and lives of men. I t has ceen a great privilege to work with the people on Penang District in the service of our Lord. \VILLARD A. SCHURR, Superintendent, Penang District. REPORT OF THE IPOH DISTRICT FOR 1932. Jt is not an easy task to write a report on the work of a District when the present District Superintendent has beert in charge for less than tWD months of the year and those the most crowded of the whole year. I t is impossible to write an adequate or even a wholly jU'st report -of the conditions prevailing on the I poh District. D. P Coole and his family returned late in the year. He has been in charge of Sitiawan .and I have therefore asked him to report on the work in and around Sitia,van. The past year has been one of transition. Times of transition are not always pleasant even under the best of conditions andl when the leadership is stable and certain. The District has suffered from lack -of any leadership. All three Superintendents have been temporary. F H. SuJ.livan was to have gone on leave early in the year. He lingered -on until June. ]. \V Hawley who took his place was very sadly unable to carryon due to such ~.erious: illness that he too was forced to go on Jeave. The Bishop did not appoint a new District Superintendent until several weeks after Mr. Hawley left. This was the condition during ,a most critical period. New work had been startedi, old work revived. The older churches had been cut loose entirely from any financial help from the Di'strict funds. The newer churches were unable to carry .on without being supported wholly from the District funds. This was the condition prevailing \\'hile funds from home were falling and con tinued to fall. Early in the year it was evident that there was real 'Suffering on the part of old and tried servants of the Conference. One family was Jiving on sweet potatoes. Another was living on one very insubstantial meal a day. The District Superintendent 'vas forced to re-apportion the available funds so that in the end every preacher was receiving help 36 MALAYA CONFERENCE, 1933 either .from the District funds or from some school, directly as teacner or indirectly. This policy has been the near death of the Anglo-Chinese School in Taiping. The vision of Chinese Churches working without some kind of subsidy was a delusion. The chasing of this beautiful butterfly has caused only ,loss and hardship on the I poh District. During the year Mr. Dodsworth re-apportioned the funds of the Malacca District so that a .further $20 was available for the I poh District. Without this there would not have been a cent for travel. Thanks are here given in acknowledgment of this very kind and 'friendly act. A word of tribute is due here to the fine morale di'splayed by the' preachers and their families during these trying times. Although cripp·led and in pain T ai Poh Ting has carried on the work in the Taiping Chinese Church from Sitiawan. Often he has had to preach while sitting down. He is at the end of many years of devoted and faithful service. He wishes to retire at this Conference. Others have taken duties as teachers although they have felt themselves in no way fitted for the work. The work in the I poh and Kampar Chinese churches has been carried on by local preachers who teach in the continuation schools. The I poh church is at the turning point. The largest number of baptisms for years is reported for this year. I n another year this church should be on the upward grade. The Kampar church in addi-· tion to supporting itself has maintained its extension work at Malim Nawar. I n many ways this small 'church is a model of what can be accomplished by a band of consecrated local preachers and helpers. In Taiping Miss Craven and her workers have maintained a service in English. This 'service has been carried on by the help of preachers coming twice a month from Penang, I poh, or Sitiawan. This work has been very much worth while. The Epworth League here has continued its good work. Mr. and Mrs. Patterson have counted for much in Teluk Anson. The wisdom of maintaining this station against heavy odds is justified. The Chinese pastor has managed to keep this congregation of eight different "bangsas" going as well as carrying on work in Tapah and other nearby villages. This work will have to be served from Kampar next year. The work in Bruas will have to be served from Sitiawan, and in Tanjong Rambutan from I poh. The two churches in Tronoh and Pusing have maintained their' 'usual high standard of good work. Under the new grant-in-aid scheme these two schools will be reduced to Class I I. This means a severe loss in support. The Tronoh pastor, Lam Hoong Pan, has been there for' six years. Though his church and school are both small in numbers, this station is well ronducted. _ Pusing 'has had three pastors. I t has worked under great difficulties in addition to financial distress. Never-' the less there were twelve adult baptisms on Christmas day. The agent for the British & Foreign Bible Society is a great help in this congre gation. DISTRICT SUPERI NTENDENTS' REPORTS 37 The I poh English-speaking church is growing. Although there are many in this church from the two boarding schools, the 'service has ,attracted and maintained the interest of a large number of young men .and women from the town. There are now ·several young Christian families in the membership. These will lay a fi-rm foundation for the future. The Epworth League in this station is one of the strongest in 1he Conference. The benevolences of this church are among the bright ·spots in the financial report of the District. The work in I poh benefited greatly from the meetings conducted 'by Dr. Stanley Jones. About forty young peop'le were admitted as probationers or full member's to the churches in I poh as a result of his ministry. They were well prepared for this step by previous meetings .conducted by J. J. Kingham. The two oldest and one of the younger non-Christian teachers in 1he A. C. S. have confessed Christ. (poh itself has had to temporize in the way of missionary staff. There were changes in four of the major appointments due to transfer ,on leave. At various times during the year new recruits arrived for 1he Anglo-Chinese School. H. F Clancy came in February, H. H. Peterson in August, and B. Baughman in September. I n addition to th~~e changes in the missionary staff, 'several of the -strongest Asiatk workers were transferred or lost. Chew Ban Yeong, ·one of the oldest members of the Anglo-Chinese S,chodl died. M.r. Peters who took Appaduray's place retired. The major appointment on the Di'strict this Conference' is the Principalship of the Anglo-Chinese Girls' School, (poh. Miss Ashley filled in nobly the interva'l caused by Miss Rank'·s furlough. This ·school must have one of the senior W.F. \1.S. workers in 1933. These :ladies are still living in the school building. They have endured this kind' of existence now for six years. The money is in hand for a new bungalow. Only red tape is holding up this project. The Anglo-Chinese School in Taiping is the great disappointment ·of the I poh District. I n spite of the heroic work of M iss Craven to save it, it is threatened with extinction. Although two-and-a-half years ·old it has never been registered, nor have rither of the two teachers ,now on the staff been registered. The headmaster is not even qualified for registration. Governme!.1t refuses to allow this school to open in January unless conditions which seem to be impossible, although entire ly reasonable, are met. Pastors have been retrenched: in Bruas, Teluk Anson and Second Road, Sitiawan. Unless this District receives a larger share of the ,appropriations for the work budget for 1933 further retrenchment will ,be imperative. Sitiawan Circuit Churches have suffered financiaIJy due to the great slump in rubber prices. Our two self-supporting churches have 'had to go on the dole, Pioneer Church, Kainpong Koh, and Ayer Tawar Church. 38 MALAYA CONFERENCE, 1933 The membership has increased in nearly every church and spiritual: interest is active. Pioneer Church activities are seven day activities. A Director of Religious Education has been elected and greater activity among and with the young people is expected. The Ayer Tawar Church ladies have .organized a Dorcas Society with the pastor's wife a's leader. Trinity Church is our newest church. I t has just been completed and will be dedicated soon after this Conference closes. A parsonage is being constructed also. The pastor and his people have taken much interest in the Christian work in Third Road. Simpang Ampat, Lumut and Kampong Bahru are holding their own. Sungei \Vangi Church has suffered from a moving population but the faithful few gather every Sunday for worship. Miss Eva M. Sadler has carried on the clinic ",'ork started by Miss. Dirksen. This work is a very helpful contribution to the Christian work in Sitiawan. This alone justifies the appointment and the retention of a \V.F.M.S. worker in Sitiawan. ~ESTER PROEBSTEL. District Superintendent. REPORT OF THE KUALA LUMPUR-MALACCA DISTRICT 1932. "Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; for' He is faithful that promised." The report of the year nineteen hundred and thirty-two is a record of faith. By faith the much needed church building was built at Segamat at a total cost of $3,200.00. $1400.00 was contributed by the Epworth Leagues of the Youngstown District in Ohio and Salem Circuit in Massachusetts. An equal amount has been raised here leaving $400.00' unprovided for. Special mention should be made of the fact that the teachers of our schools in !\1alacca and Seremban contributed generous ly to this project. The dedication 'Service held on November 5th was attended by over two hundred persons. The building not only provides-, a sanctuary which is worshipful and commodious, but affords accommo-· dation for the pastor's family at the rear. The importance of this church cannot be overestimated. The congregations have already grown as well as the Sunday School. This is the only Protestant church building in North Johore. The field is ours. There is real need for weekly Tamil, Chinese and English services. The Chinese pastor, Yap It Tong, is building up a congregation. D. John visjts the Tamil Christians once a month, but lives eighty miles away. A Tamil pastor DISTRICT .. SUPERINTENDENTS' REPORTS 39 ~hould be stationed in Segamat who can preach in both Tamil and English. T'his District continues to grow in. spite of the slump. May Methodism keep pace with this development. By faith Mr. and Mrs. Ho Seng Ong opened a Boys' Boarding School in Malacca in September. This much needed institution has .already enrolled 18 boys and applications are being received from Singapore and elsewhere. A shophouse has been rented which adjoins the residence of Mr. & Mrs. Ho. This building also houses the Metho dist Afternoon School which has an enrolment of 40. Christian boys from outstation churches now have an opportunity to attend school and ·church in Malacca. By faith Miss Traeger has started the development of the new site lying between the Methodist Girl,s' School, Kuala Lumpur, and the river. This land was given to us by the Government for educational purposes. The sum of $,2,500.00 which was asked as compensation for the buildings on the site has been raised by public subscription and ·concerts. The Methodist Girls' School now has a suitable playground .and although a new site is required for the Boarding School and missionary home, nevertheless this is the first step in the solution of a problem which has faced the Girls' School in Kuala Lumpur for several years. By faith Mr. Bowmar has proceeded \vith the extension of the Methodist Boys' School playfield and the long desired development 'scheme which will give a full sized football field is nearing completion. By faith Mr. Yap started a Young People's \Vorship Service in .connection with the Union Sunday School in Kuala Lumpur. His hopes have been realized in the increased attendance at both morning and evening services of the young people several of whom have been bap- ·tized. By faith the Chinese Church at Port Swettenham which flourished ten years ago and then ceased to function, has been revived by the appointment of Tan Han Kiat, a former member of this Conference. The Klang English Church agreed to pay $20.00 per month towards this needy project. Not only has the Chinese work taken on new life, but through the efforts of Mr. Summers an English prayer meeting has b~en started \\lith an average att~ndance of thirty. A request has come for someone to go to Port Swettenham to work up this phase of church work. By faith Mr. Lee Huong Chiang went out to collect funds for a chapel which has been erected on one of the plots of land now set~led by some of our Christian community at Sepang. $150.00 was raIsed and expended for this purpose. Sepang offers one of the greatest op portunities on the District. We have a Christian community of almost 200 persons living on the land who are not transient, but have taken up small holdings. By faith Mrs. Dodsworth has kept the Malay Hostel up to full :strength in enrolment. The aid given by the Home Missionary Society 4.0 MALAYA .CONFERENCE, 1933 and Dr. Shellabear .has kept the hostel going. The seniors who leave this year are a credit to any institution. By faith Miss Olson and her staff laboured to raise funds for the new school hall so badly needed in Malacca not only 'by the Girls' School, but by the Methodist community as well. The Suydam Girls' School has collected $50.00 for the Home Missionary Society and has given $125.00 to District work. By faith the four English Churches on the District have all grown: in attendance at the church service and in membership. Seremban English Church under the pastorate of Theodore Runyan increased 100% in church attendance and leads the District in the number of accessions and baptisms. The possibilities of these churches in. Kuala Lumpur .. Klang, Seremban, and Malacca cannot be overestimated. The students from our schools naturally become affiliated with them. It is most gratifying to note that the special meetings held by M r. Kingham in Klang, Seremban, and Kuala Lumpur, and those held by Mr. Goh Hood' Keng in Malacca, all resulted in increased church attendance and mem bership. The Klang English Church, G. V Summers, pastor, has had a genuine revival which has been felt in all departments of church work. Kuala Lumpur \Vesley Church, T. \\1. Bowmar, pastor, has contributed $25.00 per month toward the salaries of the pastors on the District which: has enabled us to keep several churches going which would otherwise have been closed. The Ladies Guild of the Malacca Straits Church contributed $50.00 toward the District. This church has paid $770.00' toward its building fund. By faith all of the pastors have heroicaJly advanced the work of the churches. There are twenty Chinese and two Tamil congregations. on the District. Despite the fact that the grants to the churches were cut twice during the year, these pastors haye without exception not grum:bled, but have worked harder than ever to develop the churches. In many places the Chinese popUlation has been greatly decreased on account of great numbers of persons returning to China. Nevertheless more Chinese people are attending church than ever before and the' member-ship shows no decrease. I n one or two instances small pastoral charges have been combined into larger circuits as was done in the case of Asahan and Bekoh on the J asin Circuit and Paloh on the Segamat Circuit. The pastor at Serom returned to China and instead of filling his place with a new man, Lim Keong ,Eng who already ministered to' four congregations agreed to take this added responsibility as an eco non .... measure. He makes good use of his Exhorters which enables him to carry this additional work. By faith our beloved Chua 10k Han offered unto God a most excellent sacrifice at Malacca. He reports this year the largest attend ance at church and prayer meeting in the 'history of the Malacca Chinese Church. By faith Edward I'saac, when he was called a year ago to go into a new inheritance, obeyed, not knowing whither he went, and as he- DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENTS' REPORTS 4] :sojourns in l\lalacca he has the satisfaction of seeing increased attend .ance at the church services and new work opened at Tam-pin. By faith Hong Han Keng in Klang and M. Timothy Huang in .Seremban being warned of things not yet seen in their respective towns have moved their people to look for more spiritual foundations. It is most gratifying to note in all of our Chinese churches that the require .ments for membership have been raised and their spiritual tone has been greatly improved. By faith Yau Vee San, our Senior Chinese pastor, raised $160.00 which is the payment due this year on the parsonage debt and in spi!e -of the depression raised more money this year than last for pastoral -support. By faith]. A. Supramaniam induced his Board of Stewards to take ,on the 'support of a second worker in Negri Sembilan. D. John, a Local Elder, came from I ndia in January and took up this post. He has been resident in Labu, but has travelled throughout the state of Negri. Sem- bilan.· , By faith Ang Geok Swee and Loh Choo Chee have kept alive a church interest in the most difficult coast district of Malacca and Negri SembiIan. The work in Port Dickson has gone ahead under the leader -ship of Ang Geok Swee. \Vhat shall I say more? for time would fail to tell how the two -colporteur-pastors Lam Thau On and Foo Kee Kwang have travelled throughout the District selling Bible portions and distributing tracts. Not only have these two specialists pushed this most worth-while phase ,of our task, but largely through the efforts of Mr. Blasdell each pastor has undertaken to be his own colporteur which has resulted in the increased dissemination of Christian literature. Nor can we forget that four Chinese schools have weathered' the storm in the face of depleted incomes while three of our schools had to be closed. They are all genuinely Christian in leadership and emphasis. \Van Yang Fan at Kaj ang, \Vong Eng Leong at T ampin and Lim Keng Leong at ;\1erlimau have all manifested a real passion for evangelism while teaching in these institutions. By their faith in a righteous cause the four Epworth Leagues have registered high this year in religious as well as social activities. The Klang League under the leadership of G. S. Arumugam maintained a record for organization and interest and has contributed $35.00 towards the Home Missionary Society. The Kuala Lumpur Union League headed by T ay Soo Keng not only reports a sustained attendance at devotional meetings as the result of a unique contest, but has raised $80.00 for the Home Missionary Society and $10.00 for each of the Kuala Lumpur Chinese churches. Seremban League headed by Mrs. Runyan led the District in attendance at weekly devotional meetings and shows advance in all dep,,:rtments. The Malacca League has had .a banner year under the presidency of Loh Hung Loon. This chapter 42 MALAYA CONFERENCE, 1933 scores with an average attendance of 60 at the monthly Morning Watch. and also with an equal number at the monthly Cottage Prayer Meeting, $35.00 was- given to the Home Missionary Society and '$30.00 to the District. \Ve wish that the Sunday Schools had done as well as the Leagues, but regret to report that in many cases the Church Schools have made very little progress. I cannot close this report without acknowledging the splendid service rendered by R. A. Blasdell as District Missionary. As there is no Chinese Elder on the Malacca Circuit there has always been 'a demand for someone to administer the sacraments in the ten outstation churches. Mr. Blasdell has done this, thus enabling me to preach in the church of which I am pastor. He has held Quarterly Conferences, distributed literature and helped whenever called upon. Faith has proved the assurance of things hoped for and is evid- enced in results never before seen in the Kuala Lumpur-Malacca District. Money has been scarce, but goodwill, co-operation and loyal devotion have abounded to the glory of God. I t has been a great joy to work with such a loyal people. MARMADUKE DODSWORTH District Superintendent._ PERAK-SELANGOR TAMIL DISTRICT REPORT. With the completion of the Sentul Church Building early this year by the untiring efforts of Brother R. Dean Swift, and of the Tamil Settlement Parsonage in Jpoh just now, there are in the District T Church Buildings and 8 parsonages, and 8 chapels on the Estates. Eight other places of worship such as schools and houses have been set apart for the purpose by estate authorities. Taiping, Klang and Raub are in urgent need of parsonages. The place mentioned last is in the Home Missionary Society area in Pahang and there is already on hand a sum of $500.00 given by the Church Extension Committee towards this project, and a site given by the Government. In spite of the slump, this must be built during 1933. Children'S Day, Mothers' Day and similar special services were conducted in all town churches; Passion \Veek wa~ observed in some places, and Rev. J. J. Kingham conducted evangelistic meetings in certain centres. Lyrical preachings were given in Taiping, I poh,. Telok Anson and Tanjong l\1aIim by Mrs. Gnanasihamony; and in Klang and Kuala Lumpur by Mr. Thangamuthu, a very gifted young Christian who also staged "The Good Samaritan" a high class Christian Drama, in Kuala Lumpur in aid of the Sentul Church Building. Conversions have not Tesulted in the Lyrical Preachings conducted in the past by professional Bagavathars, Lyrical Preachers, who came from India though very crowded audiences they had day by day. But here is a young man gifted in Indian music who has a passion for Christian service. He would prove a blessing to the T amiI DISTRICT "SUPERINTENDENTS' REPORTS Churches if aided to get some additional training in music and theology in India and used later in Malaya as a Tamil Evangelist. Kl:l-a!a;"Lumpur Tamil Church conducted a successful varietyentertain ment to" wipe off the debt on the Church. Ipoh Tamil Church held a grand church banquet in the early part of the year and a reunion dinner in December. The close of the year according to the report of the pastor sees the whole I poh Church united for a new year of strenuous work. I ngath~ring services were "held for the first time in several of the new centres, Batu Gajah, Tapah, Trolak, Tanjong MaIim, Kerling and Kuang. The Taiping one was rather novel in the chief gifts being" church seats donated by several member,~. Sitiawan congregation had their church painted for the first time since 1915 when it was built, with money raised by the 1931 Carol Party. They are hoping to put on a ceiling with funds raised by 1932 Carol Party. They have also reduced the Church debt appreciably. Several new preaching centres have been instituted by this preacher and by the Kuala Kubu catechist. Sunday Schools. More than 20 new Sunday Schools were started during the year and the preachers are quite keen in this phase of the Lord's work. The Teluk Anson Church has done the best in this work. The I poh Tamil Settl.ement reports a Sunday School with an enrolment of 200 pupils and a woman's class of 17 Eighty per cent of tlhe attendants are non-Christians. Klang and Port Swettenham Sunday Schools have had an app:r;eciable growth. Young Peoples' Work. The three Tamil Epworth Leagues, the Kuala Lumpur for the educated, the Sentul for artisans and the Tamil Settlement for the labourers have grown this year. At Klang, Port Swettenham, Ipoh, Teluk Anson, Taiping and Sitiawan, the Tamil young people co-operate with the various Union Leagues. The youngest organisations ar,e the Tamil Junior League in Bukit Rotan, the Junior Leagues in Teluk Anson and Tanjong Malim. The one mentioned last has been able to get quite 3. large section of the public interested. Sungei Siput, Tapah, Tanjong Malim and Bukit Rotan preachers have done a certain amount of social work in conjunction with the non Christian public- Ladies' Aid Societies. Church suppers and teas in 1some and sales in all town churches were conducted in aid of ministerial support. The Sentul one is interdenominational. Once a month lectures on social work were given and the ladies have been learning basket making. In Kuala Lumpur~ in addition to their usual work, the ladies have been having lectures on selection of diet, care of the baby etc. monthly. More than 50 Hindu ladies attend these meetings. In Ipoh there are two organisations, one in the town and the other in the Tamil Settlement. The encouraging part of these activities is that the Tamil ladies have begun to serve their Hindu sisters as well. The process of the growth of Tamil Churches is well worth conside"ration. The first stage was that the Tamil Churches were 44 MALAYA CONFERENCE, 1933 satisfied with the work done within the Sanitary Board limits. Later appeared on the scene a few pastors with· vision and energy who built up the out-station work or circuits thus catering to and shepherding scattered Christians on estates and outlying villages who were without any Christian ministration. I n their rounds non-Christian labourers on estates and in Sanitary Board and P.W.D. Lines were given tra~ts and open air meetings were occasionally. conducted. This work was financed by the town church. The third stage is to split the circuits into smaller churcheS' and place them in charge of rural preachers. One particular case will explain this. I poh Circuit extended at one time from Ohemor to Rasa a distance of 140 miles. L~ter it was split into two circuits, fpoh from Chemor to Kampar and Tapah from Temoh to Rasa. Four churches at TanjongRambutan, Pinji, Batu Gajah and Harewood Estate have been organised out of the former in addition to Ipoh and Tamil Settlement Churches, and five churches ()ut of the latter at Tapah, Trolak, Tanjong Malim, Kuala Kubu and Kuang. To maintain tthis work a number of Tam-il schools and small EngliSh schools had to be opE-ned. These nine small churches are ministered to by six preachers who are be-tter able to reach all sections ()f their limited areas, convert and prepare quite a number of people for baptism from time to time. Bukit Rotan, Kuala Lumpur, Teluk Anson and Sitiawan circuits need this treatment or development. This method will require and can finance a very large number of rural preac'hers who must be soug.ht out and trained to be Tamil School Teacher-Preachers. To be able to create, without financial responsibility, Christian centres in many places all over Malaya is a very great opportunity. A training School should be established or some other system should be evolved for training such workers who can be easily placed in various centres. As there are large numbers of Telugu labourers in this country, a knowledge of Telugu will be very useful to all Tamil ministers and rural preachers in their approach to this group. The Tamil workers Conference l\1embers and catechists mal' be induced tv studv tbis language if the Board of Ministerial Tr~ining can provide a Telugu Language Course In towns especially, Tamil Pastors have been shepherding and catering to the Christian people who came over from Ceylon and India. There has not been much evangelisation in the past.· But now the conditions have changed owing to retrenchment and retirement of large numbers of people. There may not be a sufficient number after .a few years, to shepherd unless evangelism becomes the order of the .day for the Tamil Churches and methods of approach are devised to bring locally domiciled Tamils into the fold of our Master Jesus Christ. It is gratifying to note ~hat the Tamil Churches have begun to realise this fact and to think out the future line of procedure. Deeper consecration, larger dependence on the Holy Spirit and greater reaH~ation of the life of Jesus is required of the Tamil Pastors by DISTRICT ..SUPERINTENDENTS' REPORTS 45 our Heavenly Father who is interested in the salvation of every Indian and Ceylonese in Malaya. The glory for tht: growth of the Churches and progress in various activifies is due ioGod for His guidance and strength and to the devotion and self-sacrifice of the pastors, missionaries, teachers and catechists in the various centres. It was a pleasure and privilege to me to be able to co-operate with the several workers in carrying the Gospel to the Tamils, Telugus and others and in planning to extend the Kingdom of God in this land. S. S. PAKIANATHAN. District Superintendent. THE SINGAPORE DISTRICT REPORT. The Singapore District is not very large in area, but its possibilities for Christian service have no limits. The needs of the multitudes that live in or pass through this city are great, and the opport~nities that present themselves on every hand are innumerable. \Ve boast of our five attractive and commodious church buildings and of our extensive school system. \Ve tell the visitor of our twelve organized churches with over a thousand. members worshipping in eight or more languages. The fourteen Sunday Schools with an enrol ment of nearly fifteen hundred are a great inspiration to us. Our young people are our pride. Many of them are well educated, talented, devoted. The thousands of boys and girls in our schools are always a source of joy and inspiration. But for all that we need to humble ourselves before our Master. For there are many Chinese centres in this city with tens of thousands of people who are still untouched by the Gospel Message. Thousands enter our gates and pass on without having even a glimpse of the true light. Large communities of the poorer classeS! have never heard of the riches of Christ. There are thousands of Tamils and Telugus and lVlalayalams, educated or uneducated, scattered throughout the city, working in the Municipal Offices, on the streets, at the Naval Base, the Air Base and elsewhere, to whom Christ is still a stranger totally unknown. And the Muhammadans and the Parsees and the Sikhs and others we ·have not even begun to consider in our plans for spreading the knowledge of the one true God. There are masses of people at our very doors living in sin and degradation, in poverty, disease and suffering, in ignorance and superstition, in spiritual blindness, in .sorrow and grief, masses whom we have not yet even tried to reach WIth the glorious news of comfort and healing and hope in Christ our Lord. Nor have we as yet fully occupied the portions of the field that we have entered. Only a few of the multitudes of boys and girls that pass through our schools actually make a decision for Christ. And of those who do declare their intention to follow Him, how many do we succeed in guiding into a real Christian experience? We rejoice to 46 MALAYA CONFERENCE, 1933 see some of our young men and women dedicate their lives to the service of Christ. But what of the hundreds of young people, gifted and trained, with possibilities beyond measure, who have not: yet consecrated themselves to definite Christian work? And what of those who are engaged in some form of service, but who are not giving Christ a real opportunity in their lives? What waste of power, of talent, of precious time, of opportunities, when Christ does not have complete control. Would that we ~1I might catch a vision of the largeness of the field, of the bigness of the task, and of the glory ,of an entirely consecrated life. The PCl.st year has been a very busy, and a very happy one. After nve years in Singapore, mainly in Wesley Church, Mr. and Mrs. Amstutz went on furlough last January, and the work of Wesley Church and the chaplaincy was added to our other duties. We have counted it a privilege to work in this church, and we look upon this field as one- of great possibilities. Our time has been very limited, but our faithful co-workers have greatly assisted us. Many duties have been cared for by them. In spite of slump and depression, there was some marked progress on the District during the year. Two new churches were organized, Geylang English and Paya Lebar. Both are doing splendidly. About the middle of the year the Geylang Chinese Church started a Malay Service on Sunday afternoons. Brother and Sister Chew Hock Hin have devoted much time to this work and have already built up a good congregation. We thank God for men like Mr. Chew Hock Hin, who are willing to give up business, and temporal advantages, and devote their time and talents entirely to Christ through serving the Church. Brother Hock Hin accepted the challenge from God and entered the door of g,reater opportunity. Some of his friends wonder at the joy he finds in his new work, at a small remuneration, but he has meat that they know not of. There is a large field for Malay and English work in the Geylang and Katong districts. Thousands of Straits Chinese people all over the city are accessible to the Gospel. During the year three new Sunday Schools were organized. A Foochow student at Eveland Seminary started a Sunday School among -children who do not attend the Foochow Church. In Telok Ayer two Sunday Schools were opened. One is held in English at the church, attended mostly by girls from the Fairfield School, and is followed by an English service for young people. This is a direct result of Dr. E. Stanley Jones' visit. The other is a Sunday School in Chinese at Bukit Ho Swee, one of the slums of Singapore. The work here is done by the District Parish Visitor and some of the members of the Telok Ayer Epworth League. At one of these Sunday Schools a little boy slipped in through the door one Sunday, came up to the teacher and said: "Teacher, tell 'me the story quickly, for I must hurry home and run an errand for mother."-'Tell me the story quickly! "-Why don't we speed the message? DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENTS' REPORTS 47 One of the most interesting events of the year was the Methodist Sunday School Rally held in Victoria Memorial Hall, Sunday July 24th. The Hall was packed with about 1,200 people, 1,000 of whom were Sunday School children and young people. Our theme for the service was, One in Christ ' We realized our onelless mbst keenly when 28 children of 13 nationalities surrounded arid knelt at -the Cross while Mrs. Kinloch sang.: " I n Christ there is no East nor West, In Him no South or North, But one great fellowship of love, Throughout the whole wide earth. " This Rally and other unite~ meetings have helped to break down provincial feelings, and the young people are beginning to speak of our Methodist Church of Singapore. There are great opportunities for work through the Senior and Junior Epworth League organizations, but this part of our programme is not developed as it ought to be. In a few churches only do we have this work well established. Here is a challenge with great promise. We need many more young men and women who will give themselves definitely to this work among their own people. Services of worship for young people are being developed in several churches. This phase .of the work is most commendable. During the mid-year holiday a Daily Vacation Bible School was held at the Geylang Girls' School, with a large number of children attending, and with a definite religious programme. The children ·enjoyed it and are already asking when there will be another such school. Mrs. Peat was in charge, and several of the Eveland Seminary girls g:lVe very efficient assistance. Here is another opportunity for service for young people. During the same holiday Miss Harvey conducted a Women Workers' Institute, which lasted five days and at which 80 women ,enrolled. A comprehensive programme was carried out, and a very deep spiritual note was struck. The value of such an Institute can not be overestimated. The Pastors have met monthly for consultation and inspiration. We have found these meetings very much worth while. The District 'Conference session was well attended and successful. The outstanding event of the year was Dr. E. Stanley Jones' visit to Singapore. All Singapore benefited by his four public lectures in the Victoria Memorial Hall. His two talks to teachers and Christian workers were a spiritual feast. As an immediate result of his chapel services in the schools, two classes for religious instruction and guidance were organized at the Anglo-Chinese School, and a Sunday School and 'young people's service was started by Miss Corbett at the Telok Ayer Church, mainly with pupils from the Fairfield Girls' School. All of these boys and girls have taken a definite stand for Christ. 48 MALAYA CONFERENCE, 1933 The spiritual tone in our churches is on a decidedly higher level. lVlissionaries and pastors alike have made this possible by their devotion and co-operation. I t has been a real pleasure and inspiration to work with this group. Most of our workers are putting their whole soul into their task. One of our most energetic pastors gave one month's salary to his church so that they might close the year without a deficit. His zeal is infectious and his congregation gio,wing. In general the financial situation in the churches is satisfactory. In Geylang under Brother Lau's leadership an extension has been added to the parsonage, for which $1,700 has been raised locally. The Straits Chinese found it necessary to provide more accommodation for the Sunday School and by covering the church court, room was made for several more classe:". The cost was $2,000 a donation bv one of the members. The Pa V:l. Lebar Church and school are plann~ing definitely to build immediateiy,. some funds having already been raised locally. The Wesley and Straits Chinese Churches gave generous financial assistance to the District Fund in response to a special appeal. We regret that Brother Doraisamy's serious illness is keeping him away from his church for so long a time. We pray that he will soon be fully restored to health and able to carryon his work. During his absence Mr. Kingham is very willingly and effectively taking care of the Tamil Church. There are many commendable things we could say about our co-workers, and our churches and schools. Suffice it to say. however, that the relation between all the workers is very fine, and their interest in the work is keen. With the Apostle we say:' "Thanks be to God -who giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ." ABEL EKLU!'D. District Superintendent. SARAWAK DISTRICT REPO·RT 1932. I stand before you having completed thirty years on one job, after holding one other in Penang for three-and-a-half years. They have been years of not much planriing. not much looking ahead, just doing the job. "I t is God that giveth the increase" I have had many troubles, most of which never happened. \Vhen we headed towards Borneo after the last Conference the outlook was not rosy to say the least. Now as we look back on it we come back to report as good a year as we have ever had. Not a station has been abandoned, not a preacher dropped, not a school closed. \Ve ha,:e added ?ne new station, and there seems to be an opportunity to reVIVe our Bmtulu work. Our District Conference was held December 15th and 16th for two days only to save expense, .but we did all our business as well as other year~. We wO:,ked early, late, and hard. The spirit was that of "see mg It through : preachers, teachers, exhorters, stewards, and Bible women brought m not one complaint. DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENTS' REPORTS 49 Our work is well organized. Every local prea~her and exhorter had his character examined (which is not a perfunctory operation with -us) and reported. All stewards reported, and while there were many shrinkages there were no debts to carryover, and we start the new year with a clean slate. Where we· thought we would have to abandon work the preacher and his men stood up and said, "Cut if you must, we will stand it, but let the work go on" One hundred and fifteen attended. Ever~/ station was represented except Bintulu. I have taught in the Sibu Boys' School every day except When on District work. I have managed to do most of this on Saturdays and :Sundays. I have visited every station twice, held Quarterly Conferences and Communion Services and cleared the docket. I made many other visits as need or opportunity afforded. Our Church services were never better attended. Our school at tendance may show a falling off, but this does not mean we have lost the -children: they have only had to give up school and go to work to help (mt the family budget. At least 90% of our children come from OUT ·oVln Methodist families. \\'e have a school for every boy and girl who "-ants to go to school. All our b~bies ar~ bapti~~d; we had 3Q8 infant baptisms this year. We have more than 1,500 baptized children not yet twelve years old. As they arrive at this age we take them into the ·Church. \Ve had 154 adult baptisms; nine-tenth of these are young people not yet 20, who come to us through our schools, from non Christian families. I cannot report concerning any particular place or any particular man for each place and each man have stood up to the work as the need required. But I must say a word of thanks to my District helpers, Uong Ging Huo and Ling Kai Cheng and Ling Li Gong, pastor of Masland Memorial. Uong Ging Huo accompanied me to nearly every station; he is a man in whom everybody has the utmost confidence. Ling Kai Cheng gave me much valuable assistance and accompanied me to many places. Ling Li Kong put this report into Mandarin; he is responsible for the statistics. and sees that all marriages conform to Govermnent requirements. All our preachers teach in our schools. fvlasland Memorial Church fills a real need in our work. To it we -resort on all high and holy days. Its size, beauty and comfort serve every purpose. To- a man we are proud of it, and our thoughts often turn to the one who made it possible. \Velch Hall is located on the main street, just next the business section of the town; its location could not be bett~r. I sometimes walk -round just to see the crowd that comes to reac" rest, and p.]ay. Its preachers- quarters are -ideal, with two spare rooms for traveHing and local brethren who come to town. The Girls' School continues to do good work. It is turning out the mothers of our future Church. What an opportunity! Bible and home-making are especially stressed, whi'le the code is careful! y follow The handwork exhibit was visited by 526 people. The Resident reported as follows in the Sarawak Gazette: "Mrs. j. M. Hoover held an exhibition of work at her school on October l·Ith; the variety and quality of the. work exceeded the already high standard attained in previous .years, and it is a pity that some of the exhibits are not seen by people outside Sibu." The kindergarten programme had t@ be held a second night arid the crowd had to be controlled by issuing tickets only to inte,rested parties; the public was not admitted. I f they had admitted everyone· "I suppose that even the world itself could not contain them." Two new places which cannot be denied, have opened up this year. ( ]) Salin: This place is a clearing in the jungle some five miles from Sibu. These people sent a committee asking us to come and see. I sent one of our District helpers, the pastor of Masland Memorial and a layman to investigate. They returned saying that we had no choice' but to go in. There are 20 Christians in the place and all the other' people joined them ip inviting us. They had selected the finest hill in the settlement for Church and school and will put up a nice building (the plans of which they brought along) if we win furnish $100 to pay the carpenter, getting out the lumber, and other work to be done by the people there. (2) Selalang: This is at the mouth of the Rejang and there is a big cutch factory here. It used to be run· with Malay labour but now they employ Chinese labour almost exclusively, since it is· so cheap and so much better. Many of our people have gone down there. They asked only for a preacher-teacher. The house, etc., they furnish themselves, and pay the preacher-teacher. I must say a word about Paloh. This is a big island in the mouth of the Rejang River. After many years of unsuccessful rice planting .. I think this place just suited to our needs. If so, a new settrlement wiH develop during the next year, and Paloh will be a new appointment" to which we need but enter. Here we must help build the church. J. M. HOOVER, SUPT. Sibu District. (b) Reports of Standing Committees and Boards COMMITIEE ON THE STATE OF THE CHURCH. The world looks to the Church to supply sufficient spiritual energy to change the world and abolish sin and misery. But we are reminded" very frequently that the Church has failed to take the I}ead and exercise the uplifting power which it was designed to wield. As humble servants of the Master we are forced to acknowledge that something is wrong and that \V'e as a Church have not done nearly as much as we might have done. And the reason for the comparative smallness of our success must be sought in the state of the Church-the lack of dynamic spiritual power in the lives of numbers of our con stituents. However, we note with joy that there seems to be a spiritual awakening in some of our churches. Our evangelists have rendered a service of infinite value during the Conference year, and it is hoped that their efforts will be continued with increasing power. The Pope has asked his Church to observe 1933 as a Holy Year. \VHI it not be advisable for us to organize special plans for ev-angelism? The Cht'rch was created for this purpose. Can we fulfil our mission? \Vith reference to individual churches in Malaya we undoubtedly have representatives of the various dasses mentioned in Revelations I I and I I I. It was said of the church in Sardis, "I know thy \vorks, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead," and of the church· of the Laodiceans "I know thy works, that thou art neither cold not hot: I would thou wert cold or hot," and of that at Thyatira, ") know thy works and charity, and service, and faith, and thy patience." \Ve" would that all might have the reputation of the last mentioned. \Ve deprecate the indifference of some of our Church members, and would urge that pastors and laymen redouble their efforts to bring in a tide of spiritual awakening that will wash away all the petty differences that hinder the development of Chrisffikeness. Some still judge their conduct and service by the standards set up by their fellow-men rather than by that set up by Christ. The Committee desires to make the following special recom mendations: 1. That church auditoriums be used for wors'hip programmes only and not for theatricals. 2. That concerts and plays undertaken in the name of the Church, even if performed in public halls, be of a refined nature. 3. That the Church stand firmly against gambling and lotteries. 4. That members who· habitual! y and wantonly break the rules of the Church be dealt with as provided for in Paragraphs. 291-300 of the Discipline (1932). 52 MALAYA CONFERENCE, 1933 5. That pastors give thorough instruction to candidates for baptism before the)" are ba.ptised . ._ 4\ 6. That efforts be made to encourage local candidates with ex ceptional qualifications to enter the ministry. 7. That the distribution of tracts be continued. The Committee on Christian Literature will pr-ovide certain tracts free upon application. 8. That copies of the 1932 D!scipline in Tamil and in Chinese be made available. 9. That the new rituals be made available in English, in Tamil and in Chinese, for use by the congregations. 10. That our constituents be urged to keep Sunday as a day of worship and Christian service, rather than a day of sport and recreation. 11. That each church make special efforts during these days of want to alleviate the distress of the poor and the unemployed. "Inasmuch as ye have done it unto the least of these my brethren ye have done it unto me." (See Matthew 25 :31-46) T \V- BOWMAR Cbairman. REPORT OF THE COMl\!ITTEE ON PUBLIC MORALS. \Ve view with deep concern the increasing evil of unemployment with consequent moral and spiritual lapses as well as untold physical distress and urge authorities and public bodies to do more to relieve the situation. \Ve recommend that the point of view of our Church with regard to moral evils be presented to the puhlic as well as to our Church con~· 'stituency by means of carefully written short articles to be published in the Malaysia Message, in Engli~h, Chinese, Malay and Tamil. llhe first of this series, an article on Prostitution, already prepared by ,the Rev. R. A. Blasdell is ready for publication. \Ve .recommend the following series. Evils of Prostitution-R. A. Blasdell Evils of Gambling-Andrew K. T Chen Evils of Drink-L. A. Samuel· Evils of Opium Smoking-Chen Su Lan Evils of Polygamy-Li Hock Hiang \Ve consider that the importance of imparting correct education in sex hygiene among our young people during. their adolescent period is so :great that serious attempts should be made by heads of schools and :pastors of churches to meet this situation. R"E'PORTS OF COM 1\1 ITTEES 53 \\'e also recommend that a survey be undertaken by our Church of the social question of maldistribution of sex among our labour popula-· tion so as definitely to urge the authorities to take necessary action. S. M. THEvATHAsAN, Chairman .. ASIATIC BUNGALOW COMMIITEE. Your Committee is happy to report that one acre of land at Lumut has been purchased for $600 for an Asiatic pastors' bungalow. A con tract has been left for $1,950 for the erection of a bungalow, which will' be ready by June next. A Committee of Management consisting of the Rev. Shi Yu Shou, the Rev. D. P Coole and the Rev.

GOH HOOD KENG, Cbairmall. REPORT OF THE GIRLS' SCHOOLS. This report will give only a few of the outstanding events -of our' year's work in the Girls' Schools. A complete report of each school will be gl,.en in the Women's Minutes. For two years, a girl from the Senior class, M.G.S., Singapore, has had better Cambridge results than any other girl in Malaya. This year, a girl from the Lindsay Girls' School, Penang, passed the London .Matriculation examination. There are I,. girls from our schools in Raffles College, I in Medical College, I in Dental College, 2 in Hong Kong University and 5 in Eveland Seminary. Two of our schools, M.G.s., Singapore, and Lindsay Girls' Schoo], Penang, have published magazines for the first time. The Malacca School closed the year with a larger enrolment than at the first of the year. The Kuala Lumpur School has had a debating team and they won the debate with the Victoria I nstitute. They have an Old Girls' Asso-· ciation which holds monthly meetings. Their team entered the Y.\V.C.A. sports and won the Sultan's cup. The Bukit M.ertajam School has a large and very active company of Girl Guides. In the Sitiawan School, if a girl hasn't the money to pay fees, she· pays in chickens, eggs, or some kind of work. 54 MALAYA CONFERENCE, 1933 The exhibitions and Parents' Day which were held in all the schools -were a great success. Fairfield Girls' School, Malacca, Kuala Lumpur, Taiping, and Penang have Blue Triangle Bands which are very active. In Malacca they paid the fees for one of the girls. M.G.S., Singapore, has a Girls' Light Brigade. OUf greatest gains have been on the spiritual side. As a result of -the meetings held by Dr. E. Stanley Jones, the Rev. S. S. Pakianathan, ·the Rev. Goh Hood Keng and the Rev. ]. ]. Kingham many girls have Jccepted Christ as their Saviour. Membership classes have been formed .anda number of girls h~ve joined the Church. Fairfield Girls' School had 83 decisions for Christ and from that group a Junior Church has been formed which meets Sunday mornings at the Telok Ayer Church. The seed has been sown, the harvest is ready, may the workers go forth in faith! C. LOIS REA. REPORT OF THE ~Oyst SCHOOLS FOR_1932. The educational work of the Malaya Annual Conference is an important contribution our Church is making towards the intellectual, moral and spiritual uplift of the peoples of this country. About 17000 boys and girls are enrolled in our schools with 700 tea,chers.. True, this phase of our programme takes much time and energy, but no one reading the reports of our workers, or better still seeing the work that is being carried out in the va'rious m·ission stations, has ·any doubt regarding the effectiveness of our schools as an agency aif -the Church. I ndeed, as it was in the past, so it is now, here in Malaya, the Church follows in the wake of the school-master. Types of Schools. Excluding those of Sarawak, nearly all our institutions are English schools with English as the medium of ins truction. The vernaculars are rarely taught. Of the 10056 students in our boys' schools, only 308 are enrolled in the 7 Chinese and 3 Tamil schools of this Conference. There are in all 37 institutions giving instruction in English, but only '13 of these receive Government grant-in-aid. The Government Aided Schools. These are our most important schools in point of number, equipment, staffs, past and present influence of old boys, etc. Seventeen missionaries and lay workers of the Board of Foreign M. iss ions teach in these schools, most of them holding administrative positions as well. Asiatic Head Masters number six, but their schools are smaller in enrolment. Our largest ?chool counts 1692 students on its register, our smallest 202. With about five excep- tions, all teach right up to the Cambridge School Certificate ~standard. On account of the present financial stringency, both the enrolment and the staff have suffered a reduction. I n one school the enrolment is -down by 100. Another isued over a hundred leaving certificates during -the year. These losses would have been greater had not assistance REPORTS OF COMMITTEES 55· been given to deserving cases by the schools, their staffs, Rotary Clubs, Old Boys' Associations, etc. Penang for instance, raises $125 every month from its teachers to help poor boys continue their education. Work Deserving Special Mention. Penang A .C.S. reports fine work accomplished in Art, Handwork and Drawing. At its Exhibition, Commercial Art, \\' ater-C~lour Painting, Applied Arts, Designing, Splatter Process, Pen and ~ nk \N ark, Health-Habit Posters a;,d many other types of work were dlsplayed the best exhibition in the his10ry of the school. The school also put up a Health Habit Programme during the year, in addition to the regular school clinics. N ebong T ebal had another year of progress. I ts boys do good work \vhen they join the Government School in Bukit Mertajam. This year one topped his class and gained a scholarship. Parit Buntar reports work in all school activities, but is handicap ped for lack of accommodation and playgrounds. Sitiawan put out a very creditable annual magazine, the PIO\:EER, Sports, scouts, literary society. staff meetings are all well organi~,ed. T elok A nson organised a carpentry Class using tools, with the instruction received from a Chinese tukang. Sports pegs: mortise and tenon joints, map racks, etc. have been made, in addition to minor repairs to school furniture. K ampar had another good year. A Temperance Poster Contest and a Temperance Essay Contest were organised, medals being present ed by the Singapore \V.C.T.U. Ipob continues to receive good reports from the local Inspector of Schools. He reports: "The handwork in the Primaries is ex cellent. . I seldom see such neat work and such good handwriting." Shakespeare's Twelfth Night was ~.Iuccessfully staged. reaching the usual high standard associated with the name of its Principal. Athletic honours were gained at this year's Malayan Amateur Athletic Meet. Kuala Lumpur had group discussions on the teaching of the most important subjects of the curriculum. Handwork is now welI organised, a pupil of the s·Chool winning a prize at the Malayan Agri Horticultural Exhibition. The much needed extension to the play ground is now well under ,\·ar. Klang introduced the Prefect System and started a \Volf Cub pad(,-both great gains to the school. Seremban is slowly growing into a co-educational school. for 2W.;, of its students are girls. Real good work, however is being accom plished. The SILENT SIGNPOST is a creditable publication. lVlalacca continues to maintain its numbers and staff. \\'ith the permission of the Education Department. Chinese is now taught daily in an afternoon session. 56 ~lALAYA CONFERENCE, 1933 Si~tgapore is glad its building debt has been finally cleared off. It :scored very high percentages of Cambridge passes, and reports unusual ly good results in Music training in the Middle School. The Non-A ided Schools. Eight of these are attached to the Anglo-Chinese Schools, meeting in the afternoons !for students, who by age or for other reasons, cannot gain -admission into the morning schools.. 16 of these 24 non-aided -schools have no more than one or two teachers each, but though small, they are filling a very real need, especially in the smaller towns. For example, the Paya Lebar M etbodist Preparatory School is helping to .establish a church in that district, and the institution is one of the -activities of the local charge. The work done in the four large "Continuation" schools is of a high standard and these present many opportunities for serving the community. The Vernacular 5cboo15. The 10 schools with their 14 teachers are very small indeed by; comparison. but as they are usually headed by our local preachers or .supply pastors their influence in their communities must be incalculable. In General. This year Government has definitely outlined its educational policy in addition to appointing a committee to examine the grants-in .aid system. Education in Malaya is in the melting pot. May I make ..one -statement at the Conference. because I am convinced it is necces .5ary. I t refers to Secondary education, doubts as to whose value have been raised almost everywhere. These by no means uncertain words of o()ur Conference Educational Secretary are relevant, and] quote in toto: "\Vhile agreeing that every child should have an opportunity for .elementary education, yqur Principal is of the opinion that Secondary ~ducation is by far the more vital part of our educational system. and that secondary education should be as'Sisted even to a greater degree than elementary education. Those boys who are able to carryon 2fter Std. V are going to be the greatest asset to the communitv. It js far more profitable for the community to encourage - them :mJ train them fOJ positions where the community is to reap the advantage than to spend large sums of money in a doubtful product which may be turned out of Std. V 01' below." Christi2n Work. Ail Schools had definite ~Ippt'als for the Christian messag~, with very good results. M r. Kingham spoke to the students of Penang, Klang and Seremban and Mr. Goh Hood Keng spoke in Malacca. In the ]a~t named stfltion, an I nner Circle has been formed with 18 'st~dents pledged to live according to the ideals of Jesus and to seek .affliation with the Church. REPORi'S OF COMMITTEES 5T Our Schools blessed by God and served by loving and tireless missionaries and teachers, are now our rich inheritance from the past. May we prudently and prayerfully use this splendid agency to bring the knowledge of the love of God to the Youth of Malaya. Ho SENG ONG. REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON CHRISTIAN LITERATURE .. During the past eleven months our sales have been somewhat less than those of 1931 but nevertheless in eleven months we have sold $10,460 worth of books. as compared with $14,000 worth in twelve months of last year. The last month of the year being in each case one i.n wp.ich there· are large sales but omitted this year. Our Balance Sheet shows a loss in Capital Fund of $1,266.46 which may be largely accounted for by certain items which were not in our Budget: Lanter!) Slides which Mrs. Lee purchased for the benefit of our work in Malaya $75. Sakai \Vork $286. Colportage $575.80 .. This last item was the continuation of a policy which Mr. Means in augurated a year ago last April and which has proved of great value' in selling vernacular literature, Chinese, Malay and Tamil, but owing to the transfer of $600 from our account to the Malacca-Kuala Lumpur District for Colportage we had no provision for either of these items. Besides this we contributed $120 to the Home Missionary Society. All these matters, however, being distinctly work for which provision should be made, which we cared for as being of great importance and value to· the work as a whole. Also we have paid $1 17 for Central Conference Minutes and received $17.75 from the P.I. Conference on this Account. Owing to the small salary which the Rev Paul S. I-I. I-lang receives. from his congregation and became we need a good Chinese scholar for the purpose we have employed him at $15 a month to come thrice a week and look after our Chinese books in which capacity he has been very valuable. This also was not in our Budget and amounts to $180. Further, an item of $20 was charged to us for the opinion of Drew & Napier with regard to the legality of the incorporation of the Board of Publications & Church Extension. I n continuation of another policy which Mr. Means inaugurated' in order to enable Hoemala, a Batak Christian from Sumatra, to com plete his Cambridge course we have advanced him the sum of $147 which~ wiII be repaid when he is employed. On account of the variety of tasks assigned to me I have been compelled to post numerous letters which have no relation to the' Committee on Christian Literature but postage for which has been paid: for by this Committee. 58 MALAYA CONFERENCE, ·1933 Apart from the last item mentioned above the following: Lantern Slides $75.00 Colportage 575.80 Sakai Work 286.00 Home Missionary Society 120.00 Transportation 253.43 Central Conference Minutes 117.00 Drew & Napier 20.00 Hoemala 147.00 Paul S. H. Hang 180.00 $1774.23 makes a total of $1774.23 expended beyond the Budget which is con siderably in excess of the recorded loss in Capital Fund. There has really been a larger profit on the business of the Committee on Chris tian Literature than our books show. During the past eleven months we have paid $1084 to China for books, $1200 to India. $1394 to England and $6024 to the United States. For books purchased locally $600, and Scriptures $115, maki.ng a total -of $10,417. \Ve have distributed through our various preachers 76,800 Tamil, 36,000 Telugu, 11,200 Malayalam and 40,000 Chinese trac.ts and hand bills. The Malay Supplement to the Malaysia Message including 2400 copies monthly, together with another 1000 copies sent to various persons for distribution, makes a total of 3400 copies per month or 37,400 per year. Besides these we reprint the Jawi portion separately in tract form of which we have monthly 2000 extra which are available for any Dne who wants them, another 24000 per year, making a total tract production of 59,400 in Malay, the work of Mr. R. A. Blasdell. The past year has been one in which I have grown to appreciate ~reatly the work of the Committee on Christian Literature, its provision -of such books as are not otherwise available not only for people of our own denomination but for others throughout Malaya. I have been .amazed at the interest which has been shown in good books. Just as Mr. Means did, I have taken one or two trunks of books with me when I have gone up and down the Peninsula on evangelistic work and have been delighted to see how our students, guided by their teachers and headmasters, have so generally chosen the best books and how they have -endeavoured to fill up their libraries with high class literature. I have come to appreciate greatly Mr. Means' choice of books and although I feel that I have not kept up the stock as well as he I think -jt will be possible for this Committee to do so in the fyture. The low value of our currency here prevents our buying as many American books as we should like to. There are many excellent publi ·<:ations of the S1:udent Christian Movement Press, Hodder & Stoughton REPORTS OF COMMITTEES 59 .and of the Association Press which make up to a considerable extent for those which we cannot afford from America. We are buying a very large amount of material ,from China and I ndia which is available at :a low 'cost and meets the demand of large numbers of our people. Our office serves as a clearing house for a great many matters, as you see, which are not distinctly the work of the Committee on Christian Literature. I wish to thank all the patrons and friends of this department and all the members of this Committee for their valuable services. Also the Rev. Andrew K. T Chen for his work on the Southern Bell which he -will himself report and Rev. Paul S. H. Hang for his labours. I myself .appreciate the privilege of having served you in this capacity. JAMES JAY KINGHAM, Secretary, Committee on Cbristian Literature. REPORT OF THE SOUTHERN BELL MAGAZINE. Thanks to the Grace of God the Southern Bell !\lagazine has passed through another year of growth and advancement. Though times have been worse than last year yet the paper has still been able to push on its circulation as usual. Not only this, it was able to publish four addi tional issues. I n the previous year 6 issues were published whereas in the year under review ten issues of 1000 copies each were released from the press. Apart from the usual conte;,ts of editorials, sermons, special articles, Church news etc., we have added a summary of Sunday School lessons for use in up-country churches as 'well as in the homes of Church members. J n Autumn, the paper advocated the 'Each One-win-One-for 'Christ' movement: the object of which was to encourage individual preaching so that the close contact may result in more people being led to Christ. Those who are interested in this movement are required to make the following promises: ( I) I pledge myself to lead at least one person to je5us Christ this year. (2) I pledge myself to pray for the Evangelistic work every day. For this purpose, a card perforated in the middle has been printed, with these t\VO pledges. Those who have made the pledges may tear off half of the card, after signing their names thereon, and return one half to the Southern Bell Office for file. The .other half is to be retained in the Local Church. Another kind of card. i.e. 'Pledge of Allegiance' is for those who h~ve signed the first card. This second card is printed on thick white paper in two colors and has an attractive appearance. I t can be displayed in the room or enclosed in the Bible to serve as a reminder. Since October, churches in various places ha\'e asked for these cards. So far 950 copies have been issued and over 80 cards returned with _signatures duly affixed in the month of November. A number of 60 MALAYA CONFERENCE, 1933 churches have already decided to enlist members to push such campaigns, commencing from the Spring of 1933. The success of this 'Each One win-One-for-Christ' movement is already felt in several of our churches. I fervently hope that beginning from this year this movement can be' carried on in full swing in all churches throughout Malaya, so that a large number of people may be led to the Kingdom of God. There are' more than ten thousand of our Church members in Malaya. If every one of them will do his duty by bringing at least one person to Jesus Christ, the results will be amazing. A special column of the Southern Bell Magazine has been set aside for the publication of news relating to this movement which can be found in the November and December issues. I believe that this column' will expand gradually. I n conclusion, I wish to express my appreciation and thanks to my colleagues and the well-wishers of this paper for their interest and' support. May God bless this paper and make it an effective instru ment through which the propagation of the Gospel and the work of leading people to salvation may be facilitated and energized. ANDREW K. T CHEN, (Editor) .. REPORT OF THE MALAYSIA MESSAGE FOR 1932. The Malaysia Message has had a remarkably good year financially although pupils' subscriptions have fallen off about 250. This is probab ly due to the Editor's inability, owing to the variety of his tasks, to stir up interest in the schools, as his predecessor was able to do. Neverthe less we think that the Malaysia Message is really improving and that its, appearance and material are fully as valuable and interesting as ever. The past year we have been able to save a considerable amount on the cost of the Malaysia Message as the entire amount spent was $4030.45. Receipts were $2885.22 so that of the $2000 subsidy from the Mission we used only $1144.83 leaving$855.17 for other purposes. Of the 2500 copies printed each month: 1241 go to school pupils in Malaya 244 " Sumatra. 200 foreign subscribers 200 " " subscribers in Malaya 35 " D.E.1. 25 Government Rest Houses 20 " " our Advertisers 300 are free or for exchange, mostly to U.s.A. The following' list will indicate where the falling off has been in the subscriptions to the l\1alaysia l\1essage and which schools on the other hand hav6' increased their subscription list.

The work of the Malay Supplement by the Rev. R. A. Blasdell, the covers which have attracted so much .approval and appreciation by Mrs. George L. Peet, the Children's Page by Mrs. Stuart Duncan, with its pleasant stories read by old and young alike; the Epworth League Page whose interest is continually maintain -ed by the Rev D. H.

Dean Swift mitil his return to America at the beginning of 62 MALAYA CONFERENCE, 1933 August when Miss Ruth M. Harvey accepted responsibility and has-. filled the place very satisfactorily. We have received many very in teresting articles from Sumatra where Dr. A. H. Prussner and the Rev. j. P. Stamer are our contributors. Mr. Stamer is taking furlough and' we have suggested that Miss Vera Edborg take his place on our staff. Besides those who are regularly on the staff of the Malaysia Message' we are very thankful for a large number of appreciative friends who, often send us the very best of material for this paper, and we also high-· Iy value those friends whose efforts increase ~ur subscription list. I have greatly enjoyed the privilege of editing the Malaysia Message· for the past year and my association with the various. persons whose help has made it as useful as it is. I believe that it is of great value in a thousand homes in which there is no other printed Christian witness and that it helps to promote a better understanding and feeling of brotherhood among the vast variety of folks who see it month by month and who read it with interest. I pray that it may continue to serve as an evangelistic messenger and a means of spreading the knowledge· and love of God in many places besides giving our subscribers in. America some knowledge of the work which goes on here. JAMES JAY KINGHAM, Editor, Malaysia Message. COMMIITEE ON TEXT BOOKS. The Committee on Text Books \-vas formed several years ago with' the purpose of securing uniformity of texts in our schools, as far as. possible. I t was thought that the following benefits would result. I. I t would be possible for boys going on transfer from one schoor to another to use the books procured at the former school, thus, saving the expense entailed in buying new books. 2. Schools would be able to procure new stocks with the minimum of difficulty and dispose of surplus stocks without loss. 3. The book agents would be able to supply the books with the' minimum of delay, if they knew that such books were in constant use by all schools. But as the Committee has no executive powers it has not been possiple to establish' uniformity, and as a matter of fact some think that uniformity is not desirable. Accordingly the Committee may be regarded purely as an advisory body that brings to the attention of schoo,ls its recommendations relative to text books. Lists of approved texts were sent out before midyear in 1932, and' brief summaries of a n'umber of supplementary texts were furnished .. The lVlalaya Publishing House, I,...td., has rendered a valuable service' in sending its agent wirh a van-load of books and supplies to all of the larger schl)()l~ to enable the teachers to examine them. This is much more satisfactory than ordering from a catalogue. The l\1anager has REPORTS OF COMMITrEES 63 also offered to open his shop one night during Conference week, after the' usual hours of business, and place his servi~es entirely at the disposal of those interested in matters relative to text books and school 'Sup'plies, if our educationists so desire. The Committee desires to make the following recommendations: 1. That rhe Educational Secretary be ex-officio chairman of the C.nmmittee on Text Books, as he is conversant with Govern ment requirements, and is also in close touch with the Pub lishing House. ? That a member of the Malaya Publishing House staff be appointed to se!'"ve on the Committee, as this will facilitate the placing of topies of new books in the hands of the Committee. 3. That members be appointed to serve at least two years, if possible, in order that continuity may be secured, and the services of those having special qualifications retained. 4. That the Committee be regarded as advisory only. T \V. BOWMAR C bairman. MALAYSIA COMMISSION ON RELIGIOUS EDUCA.TION The work of the Malaysia Commission on Religious Education has not shown the progress of other years due to the break that Mr. Swift's departure made in the programme. At the same time we feel that there has ,been progress and that there are a number of significant things to record. \\,ith the passage of each year, we feel that there is a deeper appreciation of the worth of the religious education programme, and an improvement in various phases of the wprk. CHURCH-CONSCIOUSNESS.-A year ago in his report Mr. Swift made a significant statement on the growing church-consciousness in Malaya. This spirit continues. There are several Junior or YO'!lng People's Churches, and some new ones have been organized. The Young People's Churches at Telok Ayer Church, Singapore, and Wesley Church, Kuala Lumpur, have carried on their services in an especially fine way. This service at Telok Ayer is for the first time attracting a large group of girls from Fairfield School, and young men from the Telok Ayer Epworth League. Wesley Church, Singapore, has worked out a combination of the Church School with the morning service of worship, which has been successful. Junior Churches in Malacca. Sitiawan, and Penang are carrying forward fine programmes. Two new Junior Leagues have been organized. There is a growing spirit of co-operation of Epworth League chapters with the Quarterly Conference. EPWORTH LEAGUE AND YOUNG PEOPLE'S WORK.-The report of this work will be given by the Secretary for Epworth Leagues and Young People's Work. MAL.AYA CONFERENCE, -1933 RELIGION IN THE HOME.-This phase of our work deserves a carefully planned programme. The sub-committees on curricula have again in their work this year recorded points at which parent education is needed, in order that parents may be more of a help to the religious development of their children. During the June holidays an institute for women was held on the Singapore District, a brief report of. which may appropriately come under this heading. It was a five-day institute, attended" by 80 different women, the average daily attendance being 55. The majority of the women attending were mothers. Classes in Bible Study, Religious Training of Children in the Home, and Health and Care of Children, were conducted. Conferences of women workers were also held on Malacca, Perak, and Penang Districts. LEADERSHIP TRAINING.-Leadership Training Schools were held in Kuala Lumpur and Singapore, Kuala Lumpur having an enrolment of 48 with 15 credits issued, and 'Singapore an enrolment of 28 with 37 credits to 19 persons. Every year there are a number of persons who avail themselves of the opportunity to attend these schools, but who do not. complete the required work for credit. Mr. Swift, in writing on this said, "More than 600 teachers in Mission schools are engaged in teaching religion to more than 17,000 boys and girls. A marvelous opportunity awaits us, if we can train these leaders to be more than 'blind leaders of the blind' And we are reaching more than our own church group. In our most recent Leadership Training School in Kuala Lumpur, there was enrolled the headmistress of a Government school for Malay girls. At the conclusion of the course, having been presented with a certificate of credit, she wrote: "Thank you very much for the diploma you sent, and for allowing me to join ~he class. The knowledge gained there will be of use at some later date if not now. I shall be very glad to know the details of any suggistive courses that you may offer in the future." There is no more important phase of our work than this, and we lJrge that the representatives of the different Districts on this Committee very seriously consider the organization of sUdh schools in every s~ation in 1933. The first convention of Church School Superintendents ever held in Malaya was convened in June at Dusan Tua. Eleven Superinten 'dents and five leaders were in attendance. Three one hour discussions were held daily on the following subjects: Church School Organization and Administration, \Vorship. in the Church School, Officer and Teacher Training. All who attended ·felt that they had received much of real help and in~piration, and asked that a like conference be held in 19~3. It is .hoped. that we may be able to reach a l~rger number of Superin- tendents another time. . \Vith the co-operation of Djstrict Superintendents it would be well to plan for District Conferences Qn religious education where workers might come together for two or three days. and discuss ~heir work. REPORTS OF. COMMITfEES CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT.-Some progress has been inade by those working on curriculum committees, but this work is much hampered because there is no one f.ree to give the necessary time to the work. Supplementary material·for Primary I was published early in the year, and materials for experimental use for Standard I will soon be ready. Some work has been done on the course for Standard VI and VII by the committee. The first unit of a course for Junior Leagues has been published and other units will soon follow. A committee on Primary Courses in Chinese for the Church School has been doing a fine piece of work. CHURCH SCHOOLS.-The work in our Church Schools has been advancing. Eight new Church Schools have been reported as organized during the year. The Church Schools have contributed $188.87 this year to the budget of the Malaysia Commission on Religious Education. SINGAPORE CHURCH SCHOOL RALLY -In July a rally of all the Church Schools in Singapore was held one Sunday morning in Victoria Memorial Hall. The hall and platform were filled, and it 'was truly an inspiration to see the children from all the Church Schools as they marched in and as many of them took part in the programme. A pageant "In Christ There Is No East or \Vest" was presented. A part of the offering, $1 I 5.00., was given to the Malaysia Commission on Religious Education as the Children's Day Offering. \Ve hope <;>ther stations may be interested in having some united programme in which all the Church Schools of the station may participate during the year. DAILY VACATIO\l BIBLE SCHOOLS.-A special gift from America has made possible the D. V. B. S. work-successful schools were held on Singapore, Penang and Malacca Districts. PUBLICATIONS.-The chief publications this year have beeQ programme materials for Easter and Christmas, supplementary material for Primary I, one unit of a course for Junior Leagues. Some of these have been in both English and Chinese. There has also been the regular page in the Malaysia Message. FINANCIAL POSITION.-\Ve have been able to finish the year in spite of a considerably reduced income, with a good balance. Had there been a Secretary free to carry forward a full time programme this would not have been so. CONCLUSION.-I fully realize that I have given a very inadequate report of the work carried on by \1 r. Swift up to the time of his departure in August. I should like to quote from the concluding statement in his report last year, "It is desired to record the very deep conviction that the continuance of an oiganization similar to the present one is essential, if the Church in Malaya is to be built up in proportion to the opportunities opened before it through its extensive work with children and young people. It is far too early to judge the ultimate values of such a movement" At this time I wish to add my warm indQrsement. to the above statement. 66 MALAYA CONFERENCE, 1933 I have been glad to do what I could as Acting General Secretary. Because of an already full programme' I have not been abTe to give the time to the work that it deserves, and I wish to express my .~ppreciation of the fine co-operation I have received during these five months' when I have tried to carry forward the programme. RUTH M. HARVEY. (c) Special Committees REPORT. OF THE'COMMITIEE ON EVANGELISM. In view of the great need of suitable Bible Women throughout the entire Peninsula we earnestly request the \Vomen's Conference to give prayerful attention to this great opportunity and if cuts become neces sary that they should be as little as possible along this line. We suggest for our Hokkien speaking Churches that Mr. Ostrom be invited to conduct revival services wherever possible. For other Churches we recommend Brothers S. S. PakianathaIi~ Goh Hood Keng and Chew Hock Hin. REACHING INDIAN LABOURERS.-\Ve recommend the for mation of training schools in Bible study and teacher training wherever two or more Tamil preachers are located conveniently. We recommend the use of the Primary or ~eventh Standard training curriculum from Madras in these schools for Catechists in the same. We should ask Government to accept the normal curriculum and to examine therein and if these schools become acceptable we might 'provide trained teachers for 100 or more Tamil schools on estates or elsewhere as Government·has no normal training course in Tamil. There are a large number of Telugu labourers in various parts of Malaya and we recommend that Tamil preachers who have completed their, course should be induced to take the T elugu Conference or Local PreacherS' Course in additiori and that these courses should be published either in the Malaysia Message or in some other form and that exami nation of the pastors take place at Pastors' I nstitutes and Oistri(t Conferences. We heartily endorse the programme of special meetings to be conducted in all our centres, arrangement to be made by the Conference Evangelist wherever possible. W·e suggest for every pastor that at some service during each month he particularly arrange for baptisms, reception of preparatory members or full members and thus create and maintain a spirit of expectancy at all times and that at each service the invitation to accept Christ and to enter the Church as preparatory mem bers be made ... We recommend that said services be conducted during the whole of Passion \Veek and that suggestions for these services appear in the Malaysia ,Message. We recommend tlhe three-hour service on midday of Good Friday and urgeou,r people to enter into Passion Week with an earnest sense REPORTS OF COMMITTEES i6 -of preparation and of self-renunciation in order that this week may mean .as much as possible for their spiritual lives. \Ve recommend that every preacher should serve as his own ·evangelist not counting on aid from other ministers where such is diffi eult to obtain and for this end we urge everyone of our Conference ·members-preachers on trial, local preachers, supply pastors, exhorters, missionaries, and Bible women as well as all members of the Church-to seek with all their hearts that blessed experience of spiritual life which WOMEN'S EVANGELISTIC REPORT. This report is incomplete and will give only a glimpse of some of the work which is being done outside of our I nstitutions by Bible Women, Asiatic pastors' wives, missionary wives and others. In fact it is very difficult to give a correct report as many of our \V.F.M.S. workers who are heads of institutions are also doing evangelistic work whioh is reported elsewhere. Our space is limited so I \vill not be able to give each report as written although most of these reports were good reading and an inspiration to the writer. They breathe of faith in God. They carry a happy note of service. Sacrifice is written between the lines and aspira tion soars high for the coming year. I report for eleven Bible \Vomen, twelve Asiatic pastors' wives, eight missionary wives and two lady missionaries under the Board. Many of our pastors' wives have large families and yet it is most gratify ing to note the church work they have been able to carryon throughout 'the year such as calling, conducting classes in vernacular~ teaching women how to read, visiting the sick, helping in outstation work, Sunday School work and ladies' organizations. One pastor's wife made 640 calls during the year. Her home is a place where people leave their troubles, a place to come to when sick because she is never too busy to take them to the hospital. They seek her aid when shopping. She is the hostess of wedding receptions for those who do not have a fit home. On Sunday she serves rice to the folks who come a long distance thus enabling them to attend church. Three outstations are visited by her twice every month where she teaches the children Scripture and singing. Often times she has been called out at night to help sick women in the kampong. Another one goes about five miles every other week to . hold a service in Christian and non-Christian homes. Another teaches in the morning English School, helps with Religious Education work in the school and church and does some social service work as well. One pastor's wife has· taught 15 children how to read Tamil. She has, .also conducted a T amilsinging class and visited outstations. 68 ·MALAYA CONFERENCE, 1933 The Bible \Vomen have been faithful as is shown by their reports. Their work consists mostly in regular visitation at Christian and non ... Christian homes. They teach t~e women how to read and sing, prepare them for church membership. They are good assistants to their pastors in Sunday School work, and church work. I was pleased to 'See the' number of women definitely won for Christ and the number of idols" removed. One Bible Woman visits nine outs..tations twice every month. She has held 212 services in various homes during the year covering 116- miles by car every week. Another rides her bicycle for miles through' the rubber estate. She has made over a thousand calls during the year r praying singing and reading the Scriptures in each home. She is Sunday School Supt. and· often has to translate in three. dialects in order to get her message over. Anovher rerorts 24 definite conversions, 12 idols removed. She is teaching forty women in systematic Bible study. She· has a class of twenty women whom she is teaching to read. One woman gives her services free as the Bible \Voman of a church. The Missionaries seem to be kept busy organizing Junior Leaguesr Ladies Aid Societies, Sunday Schools, preparing boys and girls, young men and women for church membership, outstation work, simple clinic work, conducting services, visiting hospitals, praying with the sick and dying, visiting jails, promoting temperance, conducting choir's, teaching music in the schools, conducting Religious Education classes, acting as. mothers to boys in Hostels. One missionary who says she has been an unprofitable servant has called with her husband every week and als() called with the Bible \\loman. She has organized and superintends a Sunday School, instructed teachers for Daily Vacation Bible Schoo~ and takes them once a week to a nearby village \V'here they teach the children. Since she cannot speak Chinese she carries simple medicines with her and treats children with sores. She has conducted a church membership class, held chapel and vesper services. Another one has· called in 850 non-Christian homes. She has treated 550 women and girls with ~imple remedies. She has kept actual count of the number of persons coming to her home to visit or seeking aid and they number 1-100. Another headmistress of a large department in school has found time to do individual Religious Educational work and as a result 55 of her boys have taken the Christian stand. She spends two afternoons every week in calling. One Boarding School Principal with a family of nearly 100, visits six outstations monthly, spending two days every week up country. Here are some figures showing the results of the various reports as. they have been sent in for the year. Nearly twelve thousand calls have been made in Christian, and non-Christian homes. 615 services have been held and 3000 prayers offered, in various homes. 178 women have confessed Christ as a result of personal visitation. 30 idols have' been removed. 288 women are given personal instruction in the Bible,.. one hundred and fifteen have been taught to sing and seventy-seven to read. REPORTS OF COMMITTEES 69 We have given a few cold figures but only our Heavenly Father holds the records which tell what all these contacts, prayers, sympathy .and instruction mean in the hearts and lives of women and girls through -out this peninsula. 1'IRS. 1\1. DOnSWORTH. REPORT OF THE CONFERENCE EVANGELIST. Duri~g the past year I have held evangelistic meetings In the following places . .KUALA LUMPUR l\1ethodist Boys' School, Methodist Afternoon School, l\lethodist Girls' School and \\lesley Church. PENANG Anglo-Chinese School, Anglo-Chinese Continua tion School, Anglo-Chinese Girls' School and "Tesley Church. lPOH Anglo-Chinese School, Anglo-Chinese Girls' School and \\lesley Church. SINGAPORE Fairfield Girls' School and Anglo-Chinese School. SEREMBAN Anglo-Chinese School, Tamil Methodist Church and \\lesley Church . .KLANG Anglo-Chinese School, Methodist Girls' School and \Vesley Church. TELUK A.VSON Anglo-Chinese School and .\lethodist Girls' School. .\lethodist Boys' School, Methodist Girls' School and \Vesley Church . .\'iy Tamil friends have this year given me the same hearty welcome as last year 'in different places on secular subjects and have :secured large attendance for these meetings at Seremban, Klang, Telok Anson, Nibong Tebal, Parit Buntar, Ipoh and Medan. Besides these I have served on the Faculty at the Sunday School Superintendents' Convention at Dusan Tua, the Ep\\lorth League .Institute at Kuala Lumpur and the Chinese Ministers' Training Conference at Malacca. Since July 3rd I ha\'e been Acting Pastor of the Singapore Tamil }.lethodist Church in the absence of the Rev. M. R. Doraisamy who lias been on sick leave in India. During the past year I have spoken in all our Mission stations and in most of the Churches except the Chinese churches in the outlying -country places. The number of services conducted to November 30th' was' 240 and the attendance 32,300. Of these meetings ..J.-l- have' been I!; Tamil, 190 in EngliSlh and six interpreted in Ohinese, Malay (by Miss Edborg), and Batak (by '\Ir. Cleophas). r 70 MALAYA C0NFERENCE, 1933 The .following is the total of registered confessions of Christ as recprded.pn ~ards collected in the different schools. These, of course, inciude numbers who had already' confessed Christ in -various ways and further many of the signers signed for a number of the various. items. The ~tems read as follows. hereby acknowledge Jesus Christ (a) As my Ideal 674 (b) As my Saviour 578 wi'll take every opportunity to confess Him before men 297 I wish to join the Sunday School 430 I desire to join the Epworth League 254 I de.sire to be baptised 64 I desire to join the church as a preparatory member 137 I am already fl preparatory member and wish to become a full member 73 I desire to join a class for further instruction 204 I should like to join a Bible class 221 Of these a number in various places have since united with the Church either as preparatory members or after baptism as full members. Owing to my duties as Editor of the Malaysia Message, Secretary of the Committee on Christian Literature, Principal of Jean Hamilton Theological Seminary, Registrar of Malaya Conference and Pastor of the Tamil Methodist Church in Singapore, I have not been able to leave home as frequently as last year nor to conduct evangelistic services while in Singapore as freely as I might have done without these additional duties. . However, we 'were fortunate in having a visit of Dr. E. Stanley Jones which was highly successful in Penang, Ip.oh, Kuala Lumpu.r, Klang, l\1alacca and Singapore. The meetings were wisely arranged by the local committees so that he had the very best possible attendance and remarkably encouraging and successful results which promise us increased interest in spiritual things everywhere through the Peninsula. Apart from the other matters mentioned it was necessary for me to go to Manila in connection with the Central Conference and this required 23 days of my time. However, by regarding that period as a holiday I have not had to take any other vacation during the year. I wish to express my appreciation of the splendid co-operation which I have found everywhere in evangelistic efforts and to' say that the wonderfully good results which we had in various places were largely due to the intensive preparation and the thorough instruction which years of faithful service and prayer have provided everywhere. My own feeling is that the evangelistic outlook for Malaya was never ·brighter and that -our Church is certain to grow and increase with the increase of· God in all its various parishes and Districts. REPORTS OF COMMITTEES 71 . .

JAMES JAY KINGHAM. Conference Evangelist. REPORT ON HOSTELS OF THE W. F. M. S. _ This report is made up of short extracts from the reports of the -Superintendents of the Hostels. These reports will be printed in the _Minutes of the \\loman's Conference. ?\Ji\D HO;\1E.-This hostel has an enrolment of seventy girls. Although many of the paying girls have left much has been done in -securing local funds through concerts and the gifts of the Alumnae. Founders' Day was a high spot in the year. Many of the former girls enjoyed renewing old friendships. The "student council has done excellent work this year and has -improved the personal attitudes of the girls. Of those who have left this year, one is in college, two are in Eveland Seminary and two are in nurses' training. SHEllABEAR HALL.-Is crowded with an enrolment of ninety ih'e, forty of whom are in the lower standards. A good beginning in .self-support has been made by raising poultry and vegetables. Several girls jo"ined the Church this year and now all but eight ·of the girls are Christian. HOLT HAlL.-During the transitjon period this Hostel has presented many difficulties but the Tamil Hostel is now started. In October the first Chinese girls were sent to other Hostels and some Tamil girls received. Arrangements were completed by the end of the l school year for placing all of the Chinese girls and only Tamils; will be admitted when -school reopens. Many persons have hoped, prayed, and planned for this institution for many years and we hope that they will continue to be concerned until it is well established. ] POH HOSTEL.-This is our only self~supporting Hostel and the number of girls has decreased during the past few years. At present there are two teachers and three girls living here. Although the number is small the spirit of co-operation is large. CRANDON 'HO.\'lE.-This group of forty-five has made an interesting experiment in student government which has been successful. The girls after hearing of the needs of the Hoine l\1issionary Speiety voted to do without meat one day a week and give the money saved to the society. Fourteen attended a class in Church Membership, six were baptized and twelve joined the Church. 72 MALAYA CO~FERENCE, 1933 Four girls left the school this year, one went to colI ega. one. to Eveland Seminary and two entered nurse training. \VlNCHELL HOM E.-Eighty girls make up this family. ~1any of them were led to make decisions during the "rtleetings of ·theRev. j. J.Kingham and the Rev. S. S. Pakianathan. Thirteen were baptized. and eight joined the Church. The regular Visitors' Day and Games Day have both been popular and have helped together with tht> home visiting of the Superjntendent and matrons in securing co-operation and a better understanding: between the parents and the home. We rejoice in the privilege of serving in the~e hostels. It is; encouraging to see our girls go out from these institutions with a vision of service. While our hostels present some difficult problems they also afford some of the greatest opportunities for presenting the' Christian message. EVA 1\1. SADLER. REPORT OF BOYS' BOARDING SCHOOLS OF THE MALAYA. ANNUAL CONFERENCE. During t.he year of 1933 the two boarding schools which were in. existence at the time of last Annual Conference, Oldham Hall and Horley Hall, have gone ahead in a. very creditable fashion and have fini-shed the year financially self-supporting and free of deficit as well. as having carried on the usual literary, religious, and athletic activities. Though our numbers have been considerably lower than last year, this: year has been a good one and very worth while. In the report of boarding schools last year a suggestion was express-· ed that we should have a boarding school in which poor boys could afford to stay. "By faith" that suggestion has become a very success-· ful reality in the form of the Malacca Methodist Boarding School and through the efforts of Mr. and Mrs. Ho Seng Ong. the institution which started out in August with seven members has reached an enrolment of eighteen. Since this project is a new venture, a few details are in' order. Mrs. Ho has given a great deal of time and energy to the details of the boarding school management and has succeeded in making, the boys feel that they an~ in a real home though they are a\vay from home. The expenses are kept down to a minimum by the fine co-· operation of the boarders. The boqrding fees are $10 a month and f aci-· lities are available so that boys can do their own laundry work and thus. save ~he $,1 which would otherwise be charged. This institution finished the first five months of its existence free from debt. The success of this. project shows what -could and should be done in connection with our' other large day schools. We believe that our boarding schools give us a unique opportunity to touch the lives of our day-school pupils. In this connection, of the 142 boys who have been in our boarding schools this year 68 ·are Christian, though not all of this number are yet Church members.

PERCf:Y B. BELL. ALEXANDRA HOME, PENANG, REPORT FOR 1932. This Home has indeed been a place of refuge, a home for the lame, the halt, the blind. Several of the ten women now with us -would have been left on the roadside if they h"ad not been allowed to remain. One woman was baptized, several others were taken into fuU "membership. They have all been richly blessed in the services held by 'the Re\' Yong in the Cantonese Church. It is an inspiration to see their joy, their eagerness to do something for others, to observe the daily kindnesses practised in the Home. They made their contribution to the Church, and their Blessing 'Box with a gift for Pahang was the heaviest. This meant the daily sacrifice of a little extra they might have enjoyed. At the beginning of the year there were applicants whom we ,could not admit because we had only $3.28 in the bank. Our expenses 'including repairs ha\'e averaged $98.04 per month, our income has been $64.93, including $36, 15 as gifts. The deposit at the l'vlission Treasurer's office had to be taken out 1n order to meet expenses. This money helped us to carryon, but the appropriations and the balance left will not be sufficient to manage. "Ve hope to receive gifts from the Churches, which will help. The sale of our property has been urged, but we consider it unwise to sell the whole property at a time when land valuation is low. There -are two lots. and the smaller portion can be sold without interfering 'with the Home at all. \Ve have been approached about the sale of the "smaller lot, and shall have to decide during the next month. \Vith the money realized we plan to buy land for a smaller Home. Alexandra Home is meeting a great need, as there is no other home 'of this kind in !vlalaya. ;,,1 rs. Pykett started this good work and with 1he help of the people of Penang collected several thousand dollars -:towards buying this Home. \Ve consider it our duty to carryon, to :give the cup of \\'ater, to make a home for t~e homeless.

Be it resolved; That the Conference record its feeling of unusual loss in the death; during the past year, of two of our beloved veteran missionaries; the Rev. and Mrs. G. F Pykett, and that we express our feeling of the common los's which Methodism sustains in the death of Hishop F W \Varne whose effective labours have left definite im pressions on our' Church in the mission field~ That we assure our fellow labourer, the Rev. M. R. Doraisamy, of our prayers during this period of trying illness. and of the hope that he may be speedily restored to his normal health and to his waiting congregation. __ That we deeply regret the enforced absence of Bishop and Mrs. Lee from this session of our Conference, but that we appreciate the' honour conferred upon him in that the Board of Bishops has selected him to lead the committee in its efforts to secure the funds necessary to save· the mission work of our Church during this unusual emergency. That we express our appreciation to the committees responsible· for the preparation and execution of the Conference programme, and to the pastors and official members of \Vesley Church and the Tamil Church,. Singapore, for providing space in which to hold our Annual and Lay Conferences. That we record our gratitude and appreciation to our gracious hosts.. and hostesses who have entertained us. so kindly and comfortably. That we welcome as members of our Conference the many Lay Delegates who were able to attend this session, and that we feel that such united sessions will be fruitful of much good in establishing the Master's kingdom in this Malayan world. That we express our sincere appreciation to the Rev M. Dodsworth for the able and sympathetic manner in which he has presided at this session of our Conference. That as a Conference we express our appreciation of the years of service rendered by the Re~. Messrs. Tai Poh Ting and Ang Giok Sui as they now enter the retired relation. That we record our thankfulness to the English Press of Singapore for the space given in their periodicals to the reports of the sessions of this Conference, and to the Rev. J. j. Kingham for the thought and time he has given to preparing for the press s.uch matters of general interest .. And finally that we express our deep appreciation to God for the' blessings which have come to our people as a result of the meetings con~ucted in the bounds of our Conference, by Dr. E.

I consider it a high privilege to be asked to pay tlhis last tribute of love, esteem and honour to the late Rev. G. F. Pykett, who was the senior member of this Conference and who entered his eternal rest on 9th Septembet la.st in England. Coming to this country in 1891, he started work as a missionary t-eacller. In '1893 he joined this Conference on trial and in 1895 be came a full member. In 1893 he was transferred to Penang to take REPORTS OF COMMITTEES 79 ()ver charge of the Anglo-Chinese' School whioh was then housed in two large shop houses in Carnarvon Street. In 1896 tlhe school build ing at Maxwell Road was erected and opened and ever since' it has been growing in numbers and in importance. He was the Principal o()f this school all the years he was. in ,Penang until the Rev. P L. Peach relie:ed him. In spite of the less efficient staff he was eminently -successful in maintaining its repute and popularity on a level with more efficiently staffed Government and Aided SChools and :he lived to see the Anglo-Chinese School the largest school in Malaya. In addition to his school work, in 1898 he was appointed Mis :sionary-in-Charge of the Tamil Church in '.'vhich Mrs. Pykett and he worked 'hand ,in 'hand. In June of t1he same year he assumed the position of Manager of the Dato Kramat Branch School, which, is the eldest sister of all the branch schools in the District. I think .about t,his time 'he studied Tamil, knew enough to read and under ,stand it fairly well, but did not progress in it enough to speak. I n 190 I he was appointed Superintendent of this District succeed 'ing the Rev. Dr. B. F West.. Now Mr. Pykett found opportunities 10 expand educational work to the Province, to the Malay States of Perak. and Kedah, and to Sumatra in the Netherlands. l'hus several .outstations were occupied serving as nuclei to religious work. As an educationalist :\1r. Pykett occupied a prominent position in this land and it would be no flattery to state that he had very few -equals among his contemporaries. One of the leading I nspectors of Schools in Malaya once said tlhat Mr. Pykett was a teacher in the true sense of the word to his finger tips. As a Missionary he was a burning light illuminating in this dark world the path of many a young man who, but for his timely 'help and good counsel, might have gone astray and become a moral wreck. He was a !hero of the Cross, ever remaining true to his call and no :thing made him falter in his purpose. His loyalty to the cause of the Mission and to the cause of Christ is bOll!1 admirable and laudable. He was very simple, patient and steady and seldom discouraged. He was ever ready to help those in need, He Ihad a :high sense of duty. His name will soon disappear from the Conference roll, but I am ,certain that he will live in Vhe memories of most men and women of this land as long as tihis generation lasts. Having fought a good fight, 'having finished his course and having kept Vhe faith, he 'has gone before us for his h.igher reward, and by the power of ~he Holy Spirit l~t u~ emulat~ hl~ good example for the glory of God and for the expanSIon of HIS Kmgdom. " Y J. J CSUDASOH. 80 :\1ALAYA C~NFERENCE, 1933 MRS. PYKETI. This is simply a sketch of the life of Mrs. Pykett. We leave the painting of the picture to her many, many friends who will colour it with her beautiful acts of kindness and helpfulness which are unknown to others. When we think of Mr. Pykett and all that he accomplished, our thoughts naturally include the devoted wife who shared in all his under takings. Her large family of children have a splendid heritage. "My mother is a wonderful woman" was a remark made by one of her daughters. She has been referred to as [ "Queenly Mother" Her mother-heart went out to all who needed mothering. The little Tamil girls were gathered under her care and the Chinese girls came to share the mother love with them. To-day the Anglo-Chinese Girls' School, Penang is one of her monuments. Throughout the years. Mrs. Pykett kept her personal interest in the girls who attended our Penang Girls' School, being especially attach ed to the \Vinchell Home girls. One of the former Winchell Home girls. treasures her photo because Mrs. Pykett is :her ideal of womanhood. Many girls have been saved from future trouble through her insist ance upon Christian marriages. \Vhen a young man told her that it was none of her business whether a proper ceremony were performed. she replied that Methodists always stand back of their girls. The Tamil people loved her. She was always ready to help when needed, but willing to pass t,he work on when others were ready to take it. Mrs. Pykett was organist for the Tamil Church for years, but gladly surrendered in favour of a Tamil lady musician who united with the Church. She persuaded a younger missionary to take her place in the Sunday Sc-hool. Then she went out to a neglected part of the town and taught the little ones under the trees. While working in the Hokkien Chinese Church, she found that the Cantonese people could not enjoy the services so she started separate work with them. This has developed into the Penang Cantonese Church. Fallen and destitute women came to her for help. It was through her untiring efforts that the local money was raised for Alexandra Home. I n times of deepest sorrow, her faith in God shone brightest and her thoughtfulness of others was marked. Her ability to speak both Chinese and Tamil, with her capacity for friendship made her welCome in the many homes she visited. Mrs. Pykett was an inspiration to all. She was a mother to the younger missionaries, a big sister to the older ones-always ready to help in any emergency. One wonders· how she found the time to accomplish so much. Surely she must have been about her Father's business. Shall we not think of her always as living, just away in another room of our Father's house. CARRIE C. KENYON. VIII..

Miscellaneous (a) The Plan of the Conference Examination~. The complete Courses of Study for the Conference Examinations for Travelling Preachers, Local Preachers and Exhorters, in English, Tamil and Chinese, have been printed in separate pamphlets which may be obtained from the' Conference Registrar. These Courses will stand until the next Conference minutes appear. Credit will be given for books found in these cou rses only. The courses of study for missionaries in Malay, Hokkien, Foochow, Cantonese and Tamil are also printed in this pamphlet. The Chinese Courses, have been revised and printed accordingly. Authority has been given to revise the Tamil Courses, and this is being, done. The revised Tamil Courses will be printed when ready. The names of the examiners and the books they will examine in will be found immediately following. No examiners have been assigned' for the Local Preachers' and Exhorters' courses. These will be assigned by the Chairman of the Board of Examiners upon call. The District Superintendents are asked to notify the Registrar some time before the Fourth Quarterly Conference so that arrangements can be made to set the needed examinations. Attention is called to the action taken by the' Board of Ministerial Training and approved by the Annual COl"lJerence in 1931, viz: (1) That Rule 10 in the Rules of the Ministerial Board be altered to read "Candidates are permitted to take examinations betw'een Conference sessions." (2) All candidates taking examinations will follow a definite schedule of study to be set by the Chairman of the Ministerial Board, as follows: one-third of the year's work to be completeci and' examinations written on the first Saturday of May, the second third by the first Saturday of Septt;mber, and the last third on the two days immediately preceding the session of the Annual Conference. (3) That the Southern Bell be added to the Local Preacher's Course in Chinese, in all four years. Examjners to set written work. (4) That we hold all Chinese candidates in the regular courses· to take the China Christian Advocate and write pap'ers on it-as set oy the examiners. (5) That we add to all the Tamil Courses the South I ndia United Church Herald. The subscriptions to begin November I st and end October last. The examiners to set the written work. The plan of examinations is subject to revision every year due to changes in personnel, and these changes will be noted each year in the Annual Conference Minutes. The Courses will stand, as noted above for four years. For any futher information and for all questions in regard to any of these courses, apply to the Rev. J. J.
