Joint Session. The Conference was called to order by Bishop Robinson. Miss M. A. Livermore presided over the Joint Evangelistic programme. Amar Das read the following resolutions which were passed at the Joint Evangelistic Board Meeting held at Delhi, which after being heard were adopted by the Conference. 1. Resolved, that we continue to press the idea of doing intensive work in “selected villages'* as printed in the programme and that we urge that our preachers may not consider the work of the Kingdom as “naukri” but they do consider it as a glad service and as an expression of a new life in Christ Jesus. We recommend that as far as possible the District Superintendent and the District Evangelist visit each “selected” village at least once a quarter. 2. Resolved, that we re-affirm of training local leaders as found in the printed programme and that we urge the study and discussion of the programme at each District Conference this year. We also recommend a simplification of the Chaudhri Course for which the Bishop may be requested to appoint a committee of five to co-operate with the North India Conference. 3. We urge the use of the “Dihati lbadat ki Tartib” and call for a report from each worker at each District and Annual Conference. We recommend that at each District Conference time, we give the workers a training in preaching ten minute sermons for the village congregations as required in the “Dihati lbadat ki Tartib.” Shadi.—We look with great concern on the lack of observation of Christian weddings among our village Christians and that we re-affirm the plan as found in the printed programme. In as much as the SHADI by the old rites is not legally valid we urge that Christian marriages be solemnised at the time of the “ G auna” . DAILY PROCEEDINGS 7

In as much as there is a too general disregard of the Sarda Act upto the present time, we approach the U. P. Christian Council to move the Government to enforce the Act. 4. We call the attention of our preachers to the use of the SHADI RITUAL as adopted by the Joint Evangelistic Board Meeting in 1931, copies of which can be obtained from the District Superintendent’s office or from the Lucknow Publishing House, Lucknow. Music.—Resolved th a t we call the atten tio n of the Board of EDUCATION to the importance to the Church of the widest possible use of music with the recommendation that steps be taken leading to the inclusion of the music and musical appreciation in the currci- culum of our schools and until such action music be stressed as an extra curricular activity. General.—We urge the need of saturating all our work with prayer and in our personal contact with our workers we encourage them to live a life on a higher spiritual plain. We recommend the Annual Conference to explore the legitimate use of the “ MANGNL” ceremony. The Revd. T. C, Badley was asked to bring to the Annual Confe­ rence a sample of tbe Communion set suitable for the village congregations. On motion, “Dihati Kalisya ki taraqqi ke liye age b&rhne ka programme” was prescribed as the basis of our village evangelistic work for another year.

Stuntz and the Misses Livermore, Porter, Forsyth, Justin and Winslow. The meeting opened with a season of earnest prayer. The Resolutions passed respectively by the North-West and North India Finance Committees were read together with the letter of Bishop Robinson. After thorough discussion, the following action was taken : Whereas it is our belief that the time has now arrived, when, for the healthy development and progress of the work in our North India mass movement field, it is essential that indigenous support, leadership and control be given a primary place. Be It Resolved as follows :— 1. That throughout the Conferences concerned, the Christian groups in each District be organized into charges that would normally provide an adequate basis for self-support. We regard 100 Christian families grouped within a reasonable area as the minimum for such a self-supporting charge. Only those churches shall be regarded as self-supporting whose pastor fund is contributed entirely by Nationals or those non- Nationals who have become domiciled among us. 2. The Local Congregation shall be regarded as the unit of work, ind the matter of appointment and transfer of pastors the wishes of '¡he respective congregations shall be taken seriously into account. 3. Commencing from 1st January 1934, a temporary subsidy only will be allowed to all preachers responsible for such new self-support­ ing charges as follows :— (a) Children in school within the rules of the Conference Board of Education shall receive education without expense to the parent beyond the provision of clothes and bedding. For children at home the following allowances will be given : Up to 7 years of age, Rs. 2 per child. Above 7 years of age, Rs. 2 per child, or school fees should the latter exceed Rs. 2. D A IL i PROCEEDINGS 9

(6) The personal (In addition to the Mission) contribution to the Pension Provident Fund, This subsidy will be entirely contingent upon sufficient Mission funds being available, and in no case is intended to continue for more than five years. 4. The salaries hitherto paid by the W. F. M. S. to the wives of preachers as Bible Readers or Teachers will be discontinued, as also will the daura allowances previously allowed by the Parent Board. Recognizing however that the small'schoole now being taught by the wives of preachers are of large value both in the building of the local church and in the development of self-support, we urge that all that is possible be done to ensure their continuance. 5. The adjustment of finances necessitated by the plan outlined above and the proportions in which the Parent Board and the W. F. M= S. shall contribute to the subsidy to be given shall be left to the Finance and Field Reference Committees concerned. 6. We recommend to the W. F. M. S. that funds released by the elimination of Bible Readers’ salaries be used in the development of a more comprehensive and effective programme of Village Education. 7. The plan here outlined shall be put into operation in January 1934. Inasmuch, however, as very heavy deficits must be faced in the redistributions for 1933 the various Finance Committees con­ cerned will make whatever adjustments may be possible for the coming year. It is urged that such adjustments have in mind, and be approximations, to, the scheme here presented. 8. With the transfer of all regular pastoral work to a self- supporting basis, we loo It to an extension and intensification of real evangelism both in pioneer fields and among classes as jet but little touched by the Gospel. It is our conviction that, ones established the Church itself should be the chief evangelizing agency, and we would urge all self-supporting churches to assume the responsibility for evangelism among all classes within the boundaries of the charge. 9. We recommend to the Annual Conferences concerned that only those persons shall be admitted into full membership or accepted for ordination who have had charge of a self-supporting church for at least two years. 10. We further recommend to the Bareilly Theological Seminary that only those candidates for admission be accepted who are recom­ mended by Annual Conferences and who have given a written pledge of their expectation to serve a self-supporting charge on graduation.

B y C. C. H e r r m a n n , Superintendent. “ Work shall be Prayer if all be wrought As Thou wouldst have it done; And Prayer, by Thee inspired and taught, Itself with worK be one.” The true servant of Jesus Christ finds that Prayer and service are very closely interwoven. This is his comfort, this is his strength and in this is his hope. His days are filled with varied and many duties and are full of God’s presence. All praise and thanks giving be unto Him. The past conference year has been one of mixed experiences. Financial and administrative problems; ill health and hospital ex­ periences and the heart break of parting with another dear one from the family group to allow her to proceed to Homeland to attend college, have all driven us closer to our Lord in faith and trust. How blessedly near He has been to us through all our trials and difficulties. In giving this, our fifth annual report, we wish as far as possible to follow the suggestions of the committee regarding what should be presented to the Conference. The number of baptisms for the past year is only a little more than half of what we had last year. The main reason for this is that we have followed the advice of the Evangelistic Board of our Con­ ference. That is, we do not baptize any adults who have not been fully instructed and have learned the required course of Christian teaching for enquirers. We have met with some difficulties in follow­ ing this plan, because some who desired to be baptized, maintained that others before them had not been required to learn so much. However, we believe that this is the better way and that by following it as closely as possible we shall in the near future have a much stronger and better church. There have been 19 Christian marriages in the district this year. Seven of these were in the villages and twelve injthe Central Church, A lig a r h . We believe that we are slowly making progress along this line, in a number of the circuits our village leaders are taking a very keen interest in the matter of proper Christian marriages and are doing all they can to induce their fellow Christians in the villages to have all marriages performed by truly Christian rites. Some have strongly expressed themselves that it is their desire that the Sarda Act should be fully enforced for all Christians who con­ template marriage and are under age. We believe that if Govern­ ment would put forth a definite and strong effort to enforce this Act, for both Christians as well as non-Christians, that it would help us solve our problem to a large extent. We have been greatly encouraged in the matter of Christian burials. We find that iu most of the circuits our Chaudhries and village leaders, who have learned the simple burial ritual are eagerly making use of the same. One of our Laymen in the district confer­ ence encouraged us to apply to government for definite plots in all ALIGARH DISTRICT 25

circuit centers for Christian cemeteries. We believe when we can secure such plots for the burial of our dead that the problem of Christian burials will soon be solved. The year has likewise shown progress in administering the Lord’s Supper in the villages. The reports handed in at the time of the district conference show that the Sacrament had been given 39 times during the year and in nine different places, not counting the Aligarh Central Church. We fully realize the difficulties and problems con­ nected with the administering of this Sacrament in the villages. However, these problems can and must be solved. We believe that if our pastors will put forth every effort and instruct our people in the larger villages as well as in the Circuit centers that it will be a means of blessing and greatly develope the spiritual life of the church. Our pastors report that in 56 places in the district religious services are conducted regularly. Six new places for worship have been set apart for ohis purpose during the year, which brings our number up to 37 at present. While these may not be all that could be desired as a place of worship, yet we are encouraged that our people are realising the need of a definite place and time for worship. In most of these meetings the prescribed order for worship is being used and we believe that it is a real help to our people. Thus far ten of our Chaudhries have finished the first year's course. Some have taken part of the second year’s work and we feel that real headway is being made along this line. We are hoping and planning to have as many of our village leaders as possible to come into Aligarh several times during the year for definite instruction and help in these courses of study. We have at present 25 village leaders who are either conducting village meetings or are definitely helping in the conduct of worship. Because of the reduction of work and workers our Bible Story work could not be pushed as in other years. We have however 6,718 points to our credit for the past year. This Is nearly 2,000 less than we report­ ed last year, but considering that we have at present ten workers less than last year we feel that we have done fairly well. Seventy special Jalsas have been reported for the year. It was our privilege to be present at many of these special meetings and programmes. We greatly enjoyed to hear our Christian Chaudhries lead in Prayer at such times. We especially wish to mention one incident at a Jalsa at Mursan. The dear brother kneeling with his face to the ground prayed and said, “O Lord Thou knowest that I am a very ignorant man. But Lord I thank Thee that Thou dost love me in spite of my ignorance. We come to Thee now for help. We are sinners and need forgivneess of our sins. As our clothes become soiled and dirty as we toil at our daily tasks, so dear Lord, our lives become soiled by sin. We pray that Thou wouldst cleanse us from all sin and heip us to be better followers of Thine. In Jesus name we ask it, Amen.” We feel like shouting at such times for we realize that our people are really beginning to learn to pray and to trust God. in another Jalsa amongst a Chamar community that have become Christians but two years ago we were informed that a few weeks be­ fore our arrival one of their men had been bitten by a snake. There was no medical aid to be had because of the great distance. However, our Christians gathered about the man who was in great agony and in their simplicity prayed as follows:—“Lord here is our brother bitten by a snake. We cannot help him, but Lord Thou art all powerful and canst do all things. Help him, for we trust Thee for this, Amen,” To the great joy of this community the man re­ covered and is living today. This incident has greatly strengthened this Christian community. 26 DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENTS’ REPORTS

In several circuits our Christian communities have been severely persecuted during the year. Last February our fine group of Chamar Christians in the Chharra circuit had a severe test of faith. One day while they were quietly and peacefully watering their fields their enemies had planned an attack on them. There were but fifteen of our men in the group and they were attacked by some fifty of their enemies. About noon a Motor Lorry drove into our yard with fifteen badly wounded men, all groaning and in great pain. At once, I took them to the civil Hospital for medical attention. The doctors took their statements and did all they could. Several of the men were so badly beaten that it was feared that they might not recover. We went almost daily for the firsi week to see them and pray with them: It was a real joy to see how patiently these simple hearted men bore their sufferings. One by one they recovered and when they all finally left the Hospital, some weeks later most of them called on me to thank me for the little help I had rendered. They then asked what they should do to those who had so severely beaten them. I informed them that the finest thing they could do was to forgive their enemies. Several of them wanted to institute a Court Case for the damages. But I plead with them and pointed out that this was not the spirit of their Christ. Finally they consented to drop the matter and to forgive their enemies. Not only to forgive but to even pray for them. Our pastor of Chharra informs us that this act has helped our people a great deal and because of this they are much more respected and they have a greater influence for good. The total amount of Self-Support raised during the year is Rs. 1,397. Of this amount Rs. 960 was raised by the Central Church Aligarh and the remaining Rs. 437- was raised in our circuits. This is a real advance over last year. Most of our pastors are really making an attempt to solve the problem of Self-Support. The two schools under the supervision of the Women’s Foreign Missioaary Society have had a good year. Miss Grace Boddy, who was in-charge of the Girls’ Vocational School, reports a fine spirit amongst the girls. Some seemed to have the idea that this school which is for Vocational training is a sort of Reformatory, but the girls are very happy after they are here a short time. We greatly regret to report that because of serious health conditions, Miss Boddy has had to lay down her work almost without any warning and re­ turn home. We shall grealty miss her in our midst and we feel certain that her unselfish and sacrificial life will stand out as a noble example amongst the Indian Christian communities for many years. The Louise Soules Girl’s School likewise has had an excellent year. Of the eleven girls sent up for the Middle Examinations, all passed. This is ineed a fine record and is a credit to the Principal and Staff of the school. Miss Warner has been kept very busy dur­ ing the year with various buildings as well as putting down an electric pump. Both the Hospital rooms and the pump are proving a real blessing to the school. When the new hostel buildings are erected this will be one of the finest boarding schools that we have in the Conference. Miss Pearl Palmer has been associated in the work at this school during the past five years and she has spent most of her time in the line of Religious Education. Very patiently has she met with the girls in the “Friendship Circles,” and instructed them in the things of the kingdom, and the years of patient labor has borne an abundant harvest. At the close of the year a class of forty beautiful girls came into the Church in full membership. Miss Palmer goes on furlough at this time and we pray for her and Miss Boddy journeying mercies and a large measure of His grace. Miss Lali had charge of the District Evangelistic work during the year. She has done a fine piece of work considering her ill health at times. She gave herself unsparingly to the heavy tasks and long ANUPSHAHR DISTRICT 27

journeys and the Bible story examination results show that she has put forward much effort to get to the distant places to examine the children as well as the adults in the villages. Miss I. A. Farmer re­ turned the middle of December and we are glad to have her »s a co­ worker again. Then, too, we have medical work in our district, with a doctor and nurse in residence in the small dispensary in connection with the Girl's Vocational School. The influence of this medical work is far reaching. There have| been 195 inpatients and 7,651 visits paid to the dispensary for medical aid while the doctor has made 185 visits to the homes of the people where she has been called to render help to the sick. She has also performed 110 minor operations. Fees and donations have amounted to Rs. 370. And what shall we say about the work of colportage? During the year, 11 Bibles have been sold and 9 New Testaments while the number of Bible Portions which have been sold and distributed are 1,269. Then, too, 44,110 Religious books and tracts have been sold and dis­ tributed. God said, “My Word will not return unto Me void, but it shall accomplish that whereunto 1 sent it.” Before we close this report we wish to record the fine spirit of co-operation amongst our staff of workers both in Aligarh as well as on the district. During the seven or more weeks that I was obliged to be in hospital, the pastors on the district carried on the work splendidly. 1 was greatly pleased as I went from circuit to circuit after my return and found that they had been working faithfully at their task. We know that much prayer was made on our behalf and we feel certain that the Lord answered by restoring to health and strength. During the last few months we have been greatly distressed by continued letters from many patrons informing us that for the new year they may not be able to continue their full support and others saying that they may have to drop out. But what a joy it was to read in most every instance that we could rely on their prayers. We believe that if our patrons will only continue to pray for us and the work that the Lord will surely raise up new friends and patrons who will support His work. The knowledge of praying friends in many parts of the world has greatly encouraged us. We have no reason to be disheartened or discouraged. The words of Joshua have come to us again and again:—‘‘Have 1 not commanded thee? Be strong and of good courage; be not afraid, neither be dismayed for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.” “ ‘I will help thee’. Oh, the sweetness, oh, the sureness of His word! “Hush, O heart, be still and listen, for thy fainting cry is heard. “ ‘1 will help thee\ With what fleetness comes the answer back to me. “Oh, be swift to claim its surety, for His promise is to thee! “ ‘I will help thee’. Ah, no matter to what depths His help must reach. “Through what lengths, or through what mazes, it must come thy soul to teach. “That His promised word once give shall for evermore abide. “Rise, O heart, be swift to greet Him, for thy Lord is by thy side!”

ANUPSHAHR DISTRICT. By Robert Gardner, Officiating. On the home going of the Rev. M. S. Budden, District Superin­ tendent of Anupshahr, on the 15th June 1932, at a meeting of tha 28 DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENTS7 REPORTS

Cabinet of the North West India Conference held at Delhi on 3rd August 1932, the supervision of this District was handed over to me. 1 had known this District before. But since that time there has taken place a little change in its dimensions. There were 7 Circuits in this District, but when I was transferred two of its Circuits, Siyana and Aurangabad, were transferred to the Bulandshahr District. At present there are only 4 Circuits in this District. The Report of this District is as follows;— There are 323 villages in this District with a Christian community of 8,553» During the year we baptised 10 adults and 160 children of Christian parents. To care for the number of Christians in the District we have a staff of only 10 workers. 143 were removed by death, of which 43 were buried by Christian rites and ceremonies. Twenty-nine weddings took place of which 6 were solemnized according to the ritual of the Cnurch. The Sacrament of the Lord’s Sapper was administered in 4 places five times during the year. In 19 villages we have succeeded in establishing regular Christian worship for our village congregations. Eleven Chaudhries are leading the service in their villages. We have followed the performance of teaching Bible Stories to our people, and it gives us pleasure to report that we obtained 1,473 points in this work. Four special meetings were held during the year in which we raised Rs. 127-4-0 for our self-support. We have two day schools with 23 pupils. There are 35 Sunday Schools with 1,528 pupils. We sold two Bibles, 2 new Testaments, 467 Gospel portions and distributed 32,150 tracts. The message of the Gospel of Christ is being preached in the District to the best of our ability. The roads of the district are in a very unsatisfactory condition, and this adds to our difficulties in our work. But the late Rev. M. S. Budden did the work very creditably and we today find the work in good shape. But we feel the need of more workers to adequately care for the number of Christians entrusted to us. We are not dismayed, for we know that our Lord is able and He is with us in this fight in which we are engaged for His name and His sake.

BULANDSHAHR DISTRICT.

B y R o b e r t G a r d n e r , Suptrintendent. Thankfulness.—After expressing heartfelt thanks to the God Almighty for health, safety of life and loving care, throughout the year I lay before you the work of the Bulandshahr District which was done in 1932, so that we might review and exchange thoughts in this connection with my co-workers during the session of the Annual Conference. District Bulandshahr.—Bulandshahr is divided into 8 portions or Circuits, and there are 552 villages in the whole of the District inhabited by the village Christians, covering a total Christian popula­ tion of 20,409. A ltogether we have performed 223 baptisms this year out of which 41 were major and 182 minors. 280 deaths took place during the year under report out of which 96 were buried accord­ ing to our Discipline and 184 were buried according to the non- Christian system. The total number of marriages performed were 165, out of which 7 were done according to our Discipline and 158 without discipline. The Holy Sacrament was performed at 6 places 12 times. Our District work is spread over to a large area, but the number of wokers is much too small. If you see the map of Buland­ shahr District and examine the scope of our work, taking only 19 male workers spread over that work you will at once realise that these 19 workers are a mere nonentity for this bulky work. And now BULANDSHAHR DISTRICT 29 because there is hardly any hope of an increase in the number of workers, absolutely no attempt was made to enlarge the work, but we tried mostly to develop our present. Selected S villages system.—It was arranged that every worker, under whose care and supervision there are 20 or 30 villages each and who was found to take most pains to reach these villages, but sometimes it was either physically impossible or to do effective work should select 3 villages in his own charge and should spare no pains in properly shepherding after the work in these three villages at the same time not entirely ignoring the rest of the villages, but going there occa­ sionally to look after that work also. Therefore each worker of the district has done so, and continuous efforts were made in such 3 selected villages each to establish a proper place for holding religious meetings at the time appointed. Such meetings are so far usually held in the Chaupal a public meeting place or inside the houses or under a tree outside or, during the cold weather, out in the sun. There are insurmountable difficulties in the way of dedicating or specializing such places; even then there are 40 such places where we can collect together in order to hold a Church or religious meetings. During the year under report 8 new places have been established for the purpose. Chaudhries of the District.—In order to gauge the situation properly let it be said that we recruit our village leaders from among our village Christians, most of whom have come from the so-called Depressed Classes, who are illiterate and who are afraid to shake off the lethargy, who are poor and careless and timid. To select these men as helpers for our work and to create a sincere Christian spirit in them is rather a task well nigh impossible. Even then in different villages of the Bulandshahr District are to be found such men who are quite contrary to what I have mentioned above, in the absence of such men it would have been difficult to cope with our work considering that such small a number of workers is at our disposal. There are altogether 511 Chaudhries, out of whom 26 Chaudhries are through with their 1st year’s examination. These Chaudhries have been a source of great help to us and to our workers throughout the year. This year’s district collection amounted to Rs. 2,248-3-0. Service in villages.—Though Religious meetings in our village circuits have been taking place as usual; but they were almost ignored without the presence of a Padri, Munshi, Babu, Master or Preacher, but this year we have made a special point to set apart a place, where there is a better congregation, for holding spiritual meetings; and that a Chaudhri of a particular place should get people together in order that all should have a Sunday Service. This kind of material was in our possession from before, i. e., very often such Chaudhries are to be found who, in the absence of a Mission worker, could easily hold Church Service. They were only to be taught and entrusted with this responsibility and we have done so this year, with the result that now in big places such services are regularly held. Miss Liver­ more and I myself have often seen Chaudhries conducting such Sunday Service. About the dedication of places for service 1 can say with certainty, because even still these places have the same arrangements as before. With the help of the Chaudhries we are trying for the formation of a Christian brotherhood among the village Christians. This is a most difficult piece of work, as in my opinion without this brotherhood the self-support problem is out of the question nor any worker is ever likely to obtain support living in villages, because their relation with the old brotherhood is so strong, that it does not allow them to leave it, and whatever they do at present is consistent with the set principles laid down for it. Undoubtedly they confess to be Christians, they receive teachings, hold service and make others to do the same. They attend Chaudhri 30 DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENTS' REPORTS

meetings, do every things else, but they are still confined to the principles of their old brotherhood. Whatever we do is all for the service of the Lord, and we pray that God Almighty may grant so much blessing that as a result of the diligence of our workers there may be formed a Christian brotherhood in villages, so that the Churches in India may enjoy the credit of self-support. Religious 'Teachings.—Religious teaching is constantly being given throughout Che District. Bible Stories with golden texts, are being taught, as also how to pray spontaneously and Lord’s prayer, ten commandments, questions on the life o f Cnrist, claims of Christ, His p ro m ises, The Apostles’ Creed and other necessary teachings. They also have to appear for the examination of which the following are the results:— Points obtained in Bible Stories. Number who passed. 2,989. 3,594. Total No. of points obtained. 10,305. Bay and Sunday Schools.—There are 6 day schools consisting of 152 students. Miss. A. S. Pottenger looks after these schools, and she takes a great personal trouble and interest by working along with teachers to make these schools a real success; and this is the only reason why the work of these schools may be considered as satis­ factory. There are 77 Sunday Schools consisting of 2,078 students. District (Jhaudkri Meetings.—This is a well known and admitted fact a mention of which is always made every year in our reports. These meetings have proved very useful in our District and are the source of courage, cleanliness and civilization, among the villages. We teach them also the way of Christian worship, study of the only Bible and memorizing Bible texts and giving collection etc., etc. This year’s result is as follows. Total No. of meetings. Total Collection. 47. Rs. 184-7-0. Evangelistic week.—This week was observed from 2nd to 9th March 1932 In our D istrict people of C. M. S. and ladies of Z. B. M. also work with us. There is a great deal of co-operation and good will between^us.^h^ starb q{ the weeij we a nUmber of meetings in order to make preliminary arrangements for this week, and it was so arranged that the whole area of the district was divided without the least distinction of any mission work which afforded us an opportunity to work freely in one another’s area. The main work undertaken was the selling of Che Bibles, New Testaments, Gospel portions, distribution of tracts in different villages. This gave us a chance of Dreaehing the Tidings of salvation both by the written and spoken words. The period of this week was very interesting. Our Christian workers were able to reach almost every place whether there were any Christian or not and thus sold or distributed the word of God. Number of men and women were collected to whom the Gospel was preached. T h e r e w as hardly a home without the possession of a Bible tract, so much so, that even in the houses of the most orthodox Pardah observing Mohamedan ladies, where even a lady was not allowed what to calk of men, the word of God reached. The real happiness of this successful week can be valued by only those who actually took part therein. Really we felt the presence of our Lord who guided and helped us to achieve this success. Praise be to the Lord. Below will be found the result of our colportage work during the year, including the week under discussion:— Bible New Testament. Portions of the Gospel. Tracts. 4 7. 1,397. 43,740. DELHI DISTRICT 31

Our District Conference with Chaudhri Meeting.—Our D istrict Con­ ference lasted from 2lst October till 31st October 1932. All the members of the district conference came in on the evening of 20th October for the District Conference. Unlike other years this time there was a little more gathering as Anupshahr District people were also with us, and the district conferences for both the Districts were held in Bulandshahr, owing to the absence of Rev. M. S. Budden deceased there was less joiity in the conference. 21st October was fixed for the Chaudhri Meeting. We tried that Bishop J.W. Robinson should be the Chairman of this meeting, but owing toother pressing and important work it was not possible. After that we tried and sent out invitations to various gentlemen for help in this connection and no body accepted our invitation, but I am glad to be able to say that the Rev. Wm. Dye after all played the real part of a neighbour in the shape of accepting the Chairmanship of the Chaudhri meeting after under-going a great personal hardships. The meeting started in the neighbourhood of I. P. M. A sufficient number of Chaudhries attended this meeting including some lady chaudhries who had come from Khurja circuit. Inspite of there being sufficient accommodation in the Church there was not enough nice place for the people to sit in. The programme was very effective which was arranged for by the Chaudhries themselves. Rs. 103-0-0 were collected in the shape of collection from the Chaudhries. The only thing we had to do for them was to receive them with kindness and hospitality by providing them with fresh water from the well and to provide those with a bed at night who were not able to return on 21st October. The meeting came to an end with a great uniformity of good will. The rest of the days were occupied with the district conference work and spiritual meetings. From the very depth of our hearts we offer our gratitude to Rev. Wm. Dye, Rev. Amar Dass, Rev. Robert John, and Rev. George Gordon who after sacrificing a great personal hardship came to our district conference and satisfied our hungry souls with spiritual food. Suddenly Rev. J. W. Alexander and Rev. J. Peters hap­ pened to be here and we tried our level best to stop them for a longer period but owing to a great rush of work they could not stay, even then we thank them for showing their faces to us. Our Requirements.—There are only 2 ways of meeting our require­ ments, firstly through money which can satisfy our needs but which is not in abundance, and the probabilities are that there is hardly any hope of it; because on the face of strong strokes of cut, whafc to talk of money, even the strongest article can not stand its force, secondly through prayer. God Almighty who is the Creator and Master of the whole Universe in whose possession are to be found all the worldly wealth; who is the root of all wisdom and divine power and who has not even spared His Own loving Son removes all our necessities of life. Therefore, after abandoning all the notions of money, we must bow our heads and hearts before God and His Son with great humility with an earnest prayer that He may remove all our difficulties and needs. May His Fellowship and love abide with for us ever and ever! A m e n .

DELHI DISTRICT.

T h e R e v . T. C. B a d l e y , M. A., Superintendent. The joy with which I looked forward to being in evangelistic work, when I received my appointment to the Delhi District, has been marred by the multiplicity of ‘outside jobs’ from which 1 have been unable to escape. While appreciating the opportunities of service which come through these other avenues, it is evident that 32 DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENTS’ REPORTS

the evangelistic interests of the district suffer in direct proportion to the time and energy devoted to these special interests, The suggested programme for concentration of work was followed to some extent, emphasis being placed on intensive work in selected areas. The selected Bible stories were taught and in the examinations were retold with great interest and refreshing embellishments. The story of Ruth and Naomi seemed to be the favourite. In one village the woman telling the story enlarged on the Bible version by having Ruth’s devotion go so far as to declare “ Where you go I will go, your people shall be my people, your God shall be my God—your husband shall be my husband” While in another village local colour was added by having Ruth affirm—“If you throw yourself in the well 1 will throw myself into the well”. The Chaudhri course was taught to a limited number, several candidates securing the certificate for the completion of the first year’s work. I feel very strongly that this course needs drastic revision along the following lines:— (1) As to using more familiar words and the adoption of a more simple from of expression. (2) Removing ambiguity from the questions and bringing them within the grasp of the men whom we are trying to teach. (3) More emphasis upon the illustrative stories connected with each subject. One of the main objectives of our evangelistic work in the district during the year has been an effort to create a vital religious experience In the hearts of our Christian people. Being born anew through the power of the Holy Spirit has been the burden of our messages and prayers. I must confess with deep humiliation and shame that so far as can be judged by physical evidence we have utterly failed in this effort. With the exception of a few outstanding examples, it would seem that even the fundamental spiritual significance of Christianity has not been grasped by the people whom we call Christians. Neve- theless they are ours and this great need of theirs constitutes a challenge to every loyal disciple who has experienced the power and joy of abiding in Christ Jesus. Our objectives for the coming year places this endeavour foremost in our programme. It is my conviction that a series of revival services held in certain villages and towns, conducted by specially selected evangelists to supplement the efforts of the local workers, would prove very effective in developing the spiritual lives of the village and mohalla Christians. Special music and the help of Gospel Teams from the central schools would make valuable contributions to this end. We contemplate trying this method in Panipat and certain other centres and would appreciate suggestions and help from other D istricts. District Evangelistic Work. Our evangelistic work suffered from the lack of a districs evange­ list for the first half of the year. Miss Klingeberger was given a very hearty welcome back to the district upon her return from furlough on the 15th of July. With a new motor car, abounding energy, refreshing evangelistic zeal, and unswering loyalty to her Master, she has made up for some of the losses of the first part of the year and has been incessant in her activities in both the Rohtak and Delhi Districts. DELHI DISTRICT 33

Extract from District Evangelist’s Report, Mrss I. M. K linobbkbgbb . After a very pleasant and profitable furlough I returned to my work in Delhi and Rohtak Districts on the 15th of July. As soon as possible after getting my things moved from Sonepat to Delhi I began touring in the villages. Gift from friends at home and some help from funds on the field made it possible for me to purchase a new car. It is a great asset in the work. It is a real joy aud satisfac­ tion to be in the thick of the fight again. A fight it surely is to win souls from the clutches of the wicked one and to feed the souls of those who have been won to Christ and help them get established in the things of God. As we sow the seed of God’s Word it is with the assurance that “he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting” and again that “in due season we shall reap if we faint not.” In one village my motor driver overheard an Arya Samajist say, rather disgustedly, “These people will not leave this country until they have established Christianity in every village and hamlet of the land.’’ That is exactly what we are trying to do. One method used to accomplish this end is the systematic teaching of Bible stories, memorizing of Bible verses, the creed, the Lord’s prayer etc. Thank God for the leaven of his Word at work in the minds and hearts of the people. His Word is a living Word and sooner or later it is bound to germinate and bring forth fruit. In Delhi District 494 people were examined and 3,091 points were gained, lu Rohtak District 658 were examined and 4,393 points gained. Gradually through this method our people are becoming more familiar with God’s Word...... Throughout these Jalsas as well as in our regular work, we have tried to show the folly of being Christian in name only and have emphasized the need and the glorious possibility of beiug born again. At the close of one of the jalsas a young man testified that he had given his heart to Christ that day. One faithful old Chaudhri I found in Sonepat Circuit who has built an altar of prayer in one corner of his house. Above it he has painted a cross on the wall. He can read a bit of Hindi so every day he has his time of worship at his little altar. He told me his heart did not feel at ease until he had his time of communion with God each day. I could mention others who have experienced a change of heart and who are serving God to the best of their ability, but space forbids. There is old Asa who maintains family prayers and Ramji Lai who in the face of persecution from the zemindars of his village stands true to God. There are others too and we pray that their numbers may increase. So with our eyes fixed on Jesus and our trust in him to give the vie tory we strive to “be steadfast, unmoveable.always abounding in the work of the Lord”, knowing thatour labour is not in vain in the Lord.” It was our great privilege to unite with the Rohtak District in our District Conference, which proved to be a time valuable instruc­ tion and genuine spiritual growth and inspiration. With our decreasing number of workers it seems increasingly desirabie to unite in such conferences and thus secure advantages of which the smaller groups would be deprived. Our Conference was enriched by most valuable contributions from Rev. Robert Gardner, Rev. Robert John, Dr. C. D. Rockey and Rev. J C Pace and his Gospel Team. City Evangelistic Work. The Methodists of Delhi have greatly appreciated the privilege of worshipping in the inspiring new Butler Memorial Church, which continues to elicit the admiration of all who see this attractive edifice. This Church, throngh its efficient and devoted Pastor, the 34 DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENTS’ REPORTS

Rev. Isaac Mann, and its energetic and resourceful City evangelist Miss Mildred Bobb, is ministering to the needs of our constituency in the Imperial City in a very worthy manner as indicated by the following extracts from Miss Bobb’s report:— “Delhi is a strategic point for Methodism in North India in that there are many Methodists in a comparatively small area easy of access. Many of the young people from our schools come to the city either before or after marriage to And employment in offices, schools, hospitals, mills, etc., or for training along various lines and it is highly important that these young people do not lose interest in the Church and in their religious life. There are about 275 families in Delhi in which all or several of the members are Methodists. I have listed 1,065 names in my record book, including men, women and children. Of these, at least 312 adults are members of the Delhi Church. My helper, Mrs. Dolly Phillips and 1 have made 520 calls in homes. These include only the actual calls made when people were found at home. We have also made about 100 calls on the sick in homes and hospitals. In addition we have taken 18 patients to hospitals for examination and treatment, eight having been admitted to hospitals. A Cradle Roll Department has been organized. The list of mem­ bers includes those children under three years of age who have been baptized. A picture of each child is taken, and the picture attached to a large Cradle Roll poster which is hung in one of the rooms of the church. At present there are pictures of sixty-live babies in the church and there are still a few more pictures to be taken. Fond parents take great delight in seeing their children’s pictures in the church. A Primary Sunday School has aiso been organized, as well as morning prayer meeting for the boys and girls. A large amount of reading materials, both English and Hindustani has been distributed to eight laymen of the church who in turn have distributed it to people in their communities who are able to read. 1 have tried to keep in touch with our young ladies teaching in various schools of the city, and with those working in health centres or nursing in hospitals. Recently a party was held for the ivlethodist teachers of the city aDd another for those in the different medical professions. We had a splendid Christmas service this year. At least seven or eight hundred people were present, and it was a heartening sight to see so many together in one church. Twenty babies were baptised at the beginning of the service. Delhi city work is indeed a very interesting fascinating work full of tremendous possibilities. It is my hope and prayer as time for my home-going draws near, that someone may succeed me to carry on the task in this needy field.” Butler Memorial Girl’s School. The outstanding event of the year at the Butler Memorial Girl’s School, Delhi was the completion of the new school building. Con­ structed of grey stone, it harmonizes with the Kothi and Hostel buildings, and completes a school plant of which our Church may well be proud. Miss C. L. Justin the efficient Principal deserves much credit for the securing of this splendidly planned and well constructed building in a remarkably short time. 1 take pleasure in quoting from her annual report:— “The most important happening for Butler Memorial School this year was the completion of the School building. We do not say “new building” for until now there has not been any building at all. The school has floursihed for seven years using as ciass-rooms the shade of trees, and certain verandas and rooms of the buogalow...... M u t t r a D i s t r i c t 35

We have grown in numbers this year. We wanted to take in 14 new girls in April, and it was made possible by the matron moving to a tiny bath room, thus allowing her rooms to be a dormitory for the 14. Now we have a happy family of 98 girls in the Boarding, or perhaps I should say 7 families, since we live in the group system. Each group has a top class girl as head, responsible for the help, the health, the manners and the morals of her bakers dozen. We have many demands on our time from our 32 day scholars, and with their families they are on hand for all school programmes and special days. The are on hand most other days too, after school, asking argyrol for sore eyes, quinine for sick brothers at home, etc. In January Mrs. A. Tbeophilus came to be our matron and in July Miss D. Matthews came as Head Mistress. She has had ten years in Meerut since completing her training in Isabella Thoburn College. It is our hope that having before their eyes the finest of India’s womanhood, the girls may show exceptional development. The girls in the school have benefited greatly by the help given by Miss Bobh during this year. In addition to her activities as city Evangelist, she has been supervisor of the Epworth League, directed Junior Church, had charge of the Primary Sunday School, practiced with the choir for special songs, and has played for services in the church. Five or our girls went to Epworth League Institute and their lives were made richer by the experience there. During vacation one of the teachers, and the pastor of the church and the Principal of the school attended Sat Tal Institute of Religious Education.” Boys School, Sonepat. Our School for boys at Sonepat has had a splendid year under the capable and sym pathetic direction of Miss H. H. Wells, who in her annual report states:— “In the year 1932 the school had six inspections and visits. Both the Tuitional and the Hostei work was very much appreciated by all the visitors. The Assistant District Inspector of Schools calls the school “A Model School”. The chief Inspector, Mr. Wilson of Ambala Division expressed his appreciation by writing in the Log Book “I wish all teachers of the District Board schools could visit this school and see what can be done when there is a desire to do." The centre examination took place on the 7th of March when four boys passed out of nine. Those who passed are at the Ingraham Institute at Ghaziabad, A drama on Esther was given by the school at the time of the District Conference when not only the Christian but Hindus and Muslims attended and was very much appreciated. In connection with the Y. P. B. work a Medal contest was held when the Deputy Magistrate presided. He was very much impressed with the success of the entire function. Chapel is planned for with one trait and a suitable hymn for a week at a time. A class choosing its own leader leads in Chapel on Friday. Sunday School not only takes care of its own expenses but helped us to bear our share of responsibility to the British and Foreign Bible Society and the Temperance Union. The Baby Fold box is kept in sight every Sunday morning in which special Thanks Offerings are put whenever there is an occasion. We have been busy and happy throughout the year. It has been a blessed year and we are grateful. We rejoice that the decision of the Board of Education is that the Sonepat School shall continue for another year, effecting every possible economy and making every effort to meet the needs of the constituency which it serves. 36 DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENTS’ REPORTS

The splendid spirit of the workers of the Delhi District, their faithfulness and devotion, vitally linked to the spiritual resources available in our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, enables us to look forward with faith and great expectancy to a victorious future.

GHAZIABAD DISTRICT By W illiam Dyb, Superintendent. During the past year we have endeavoured, so far as our greatly depleted resources permit, to carry out the new Conference pro­ gramme calling for intensive work in selected centres and a raising of standards generally. While the children of our village Christians have been baptized as heretofore, adults have been accepted for baptism only in two places, and here only after satisfactory preparation. Nothing has hurt our work in the past so much as the wholesale baptism of groups who have had but the faintest idea of what Christianity means, and we are convinced that this new raising of standards is a step in the right direction. In one of the places mentioned there are a large groups of Chamars, and it is safe to say they knew as much before they were baptized as thousands of other have known ten or twenty or thirty years after baptism. In the other place although a small group of only ten families, they not only had learned the appointed lessons but had built a small raised platform (Chabutara) to be set apart for their services of worship. Our chief efforts have been along the line of the training of local leaders and in the development of more order and reverence in services of worship. As to the first, it is obvious that our paid workers cannot begin to serve in any adequate way the large circles of villages for which they are responsible, and the development of local leaders who will be able at least to lead a service in a simple way in the absence of the preacher is a necessity to hold the work together, much more to make progress possible. Over thirty men are seriously taking the Chaudhri (Leader) Course and a dozen have been given certificates. Apart from what has been done by the preachers in the District, selected families have been taken into the Bible School for two months at a time for a short intensive course. This training has shown encouraging results, although it is clear it needs to be followed up with sympathetic help and inspiration. More than one such leader has been making very commendable efforts at leading a service for his people almost without any help at all. As to the service itself, a short form of service providing for as large participation by the group as possible has been steadily used, with a very encouraging increase in order and reverence. In one place a man (weshould probably say a woman, for it was the wife who made the proposal) who was building a new house added a good sized room to be used as a place of Worship, and this fine room has been used only for this purpose. A cross above makes it clear what it is for. A government officer visiting that place saw it and express­ ed surprise that there were Christians there. They had in fact been there for twenty years, but only when their place of worship was built and orderly services conducted did the light buried under the bushel begin to shine. Several times in the year we have called in our Chaudhries (as the local leaders are called) for short institutes from one to three days, and these have proved a fine help and inspiration. In two matters, crucial matters too, self-support and Christian marriages there has been but little progress. With steadily decreas­ ing finances it is imperative that the village church bear at least the larger part of the expense of its regular pastorate. One man has had m e e r u t Dis t r ic t 37

the courage to depend entirely upon his group for his support for the past year, and we are praying for a new spirit that will lead others to face willingly a challenge that only deep consecration and a willingness to endure real hardships can meet. The district conference this year was held in Meerut jointly with the Meerut District. It was a great joy for all the preachers to meet again in conference those with whom they had previously worked and the whole conference was a time of splendid inspiration and uplift. In Ghaziabad itself the Burgess Day School has maintained its work among the children of the Christians in the city. These are mostly shoemakers whose business is steadily going to nothing with the introduction of cheap western shoes. Daily attendance has increased and a night school has been well attended during the year. The Ingraham Institute has had a time of rich spiritual blessing among its students and these have gone out in bands to nearby villages both to give their testimony to changed lives and to help In singing the message of the Gospel. This has helped students to get a new interest in the problem of the village church and we trust nany of them will be led to consecrate their lives to village work. While the continued reductions in finances have left us with but a quarter of the preachers we had a few years ago, and a morale sadly shaken, we nevertheless believe that rich blessing lies wiihin the grey clouds that have hung over us. It is easy in an organisation wholly mission supported for superficial work and unreality to creap in, and the acid test of self-support has brought a pew note of reality into our work. A self-supported village church will be free to develop and progress as a mission organization never could-

MEERUT DISTRICT

By F r a n k E. H k n n i n g r r , Supet'intendeni. At the last Anuual Conference quite a detailed Evangelistic Programme for the village work was adopted. The idea was that each district should try to advance according to that Programme. Meerut District has tried to fit into that scheme. We have tried to take the main divisions of the programme, such as the telling of eight Bible stories, the teaching of Chaudhries, the development of worship in the village church, the encouragement of wedding by the Christian rites, the holding of Jalsas, and the increase of self- support etc., and hold them continually before the minds of the workers as goals toward which we were working. In fact a scheme was worked out whereby each worker was giveu credit for work done satisfactorily in these divisions the same as credit was formerly given for the passing of examination in story telling by the villagers. Attiie end of the year each worker was able to see on the chart what he had accomplished. While such a scheme has its weakness and while all did not measure up as they might, we feel nevertheless that advance was made and that some good was accomplished. Our D istrict Evangelist Miss E. M. Forsythe has been giving herself untiringly and graciously to the task as usual. Her health has been greatly improved this year and consequently she was able to get out in the district more regularly. An excerpt from her report gives an interesting account of one of the meetings especially given for Chaudhries (village leaders):— “It was in the upper room of an Eastern House the people had gathered for theJalsa (meeting), but the crowd was such that we had to move to the court below. Indian musical instruments were in evideuce, the stringing and tuning-in taking place after we arrived. 38 DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENTS’ REPORTS

The programme was written in Hindi and the Chairman of the meet* ing was a most interesting Chaudhri (village leader). The District Superintendent baptized three children, Bible stories, Apostles Creed and Ten Commandments were given by boys and men, Reading of Scripture and prayer by the Indian folk made us feel the time will come when they will conduct their own religious services. Several Chaudhries had come prepared to give the annual examination in the Chaudhri Course. They are proved to receive the certificate and to feel that now they are to have a special part in carrying out a religious programme in their own villages. This inspiring gathering was held in Sardhana, 15 miles from Meerut”. In the Girls School there has been a change in managership. Miss Richard left on furlough in December. Miss Bothwell carried on the work until Miss Bobenhouse came several weeks later. Miss Bobenhouse had served in Meerut previously, so the place and the work were not new to her. She soon adjusted herself. A part of her report is as follows:— “The well-filled High School classes and earnest young women who are preparing to be teachers in the normal department as through the eleven years since its opening better teachers have taught in the schools of our conference, resulting in a larger number of girls passing the middle examination. While at one time the problem was to secure enough girls to maintain the classes, now the problem is to find room, in the hostel and classrooms for Che large number of girls who apply for admission. The results of our school in the middle examination were gratifying. This has strengthened Che morale of the girls. They do their work with courage expecting Co be success­ fu l”. The work in the Boys School has been steady, with a slight increase in the number of the day-scholars. Many of these are Non- Christians. The Spirit among the teachers and scholars has been good due largely to the splendid example and efforts of the Head­ master P. M. David, who also is Housefather. We are most grateful for the good health of the boys in the boarding. There has been but very little illness.

MUTTRA DISTRICT. H. C. S c h o l b e r g , Superintendent. Immediately after last Conference we took over the management of the school as well as the work of the District. The Templins left in a few days, and we were saddled with a double burden. We are thankful that during the year we have maintained good health and been able to carry on without a break. Mrs. Scholberg underwent a serious operation last June, but since then she has been well and has worked steadily. Among the workers there have been the ordinary colds and fevers, and out of these all we have been delivered thus far. At the present writing Mrs. B. S. Edson is lying very ill in the Brindaban Hospital. She underwent an operation some ten days ago and is still very poorly. Mrs. G. L. Samson is also in a very critical condition in Bharatpur State Hospital. We solicit the prayers of the Conference for their recovery. Miss Clark’s sudden and unexpected departure for America left a big vacancy, but Miss Everley arrived soon after Conference and has very ably filled the place. She with her co-workers, Miss Randall and Miss Bradley have had their hands very full and done a year of good work. The new Pastor, P. D. Phillips was not long in taking up the duties of the Pastorate. He has been with me to most of the centres of the District, and has carried his pastoral work quite acceptably. In addition to his coming, Narayan Das Banerjee came to us from the Bengal Con­ MUTTRA DISTRICT 39 ference to start the work of a Christian Ashram in Muttra. This is still in its infancy, but we hope it will grow and become a power in the City. Miss Richards has spent most of her time touring the District. Her experience in other Districts has stood her in good stead, but she has found the vast distances in this District trying to her as well as to her faithful horse. She has been tireless in her efforts helping the preachers, examining Chaudhries, supervising schools, and preaching the Gospel. The Superintendent has been able to make only two complete rounds for Quarterly Conferences, and even those were hurried visits. Some places, however, I have visited several times. I find that the Chaudhries are gradually learning some of the lessons we hope they will master. Places of worship are being established in the most promising centres. We have now between sixty and seventy such places designated, and more will be established as soon as possible. Each worker has at least three worship services each week and some have as many as six. We are unfortunate in having a very scattered Christian Community There are 18,000 Christians living in nearly 900 villages, and half of these have only one family each, and half of the rest have less than five families each. Among the new arrivals in the District is the return of our old friend James Devadasan to Agra to become Pastor of the Agra Central Church. Of his work we have nothing but words of praise. He is in much de­ mand among all Christians in the City, and is often called upon for ad­ dresses and helps. His work in the Mohullas of Agra is also very much appreciated. He has been able to cpen at least there regular preaching places among our poorer Christians who cannot come to church as the time of the regular Sunday services. Besides the Muttra and Agra central church stands the Brindaban Church,—(The Churcli that is in thy house,)—the bungalow veranda usually being used for worship. Mr. Chakraverti is carrying on this service in addition to his Ashram work and is a very acceptable pastor. The Ashram has temples on all four sides,—a light in a dark place. Tundla should be reckoned as a central Church, but I fear the condi­ tions there are still so much like those of the villages that we have to consider it a village church. Besides these four cities we have divided the work of the District into seventeen centres where preachers are living and from which work is being carried on. This gives each worker an average of about 150 families. Only three places have less than 100 families, and one of these we may combine with another circuit, and the other two hope to have a group of Chamars ready for baptism soon, so their numbers will then come up considerably. The Hospital at Brindaban has continued its medical and surgical work as well as the School of Nursing. Village Dispensary work is one of their specialties. This is a very popular department and is a splendid evangelizing agency. The staff has been strengthened by the arrival of a male nurse for the men patients, who, with his wife who is also a nurse, had his training at the Miraj Hospital. Besides these, we were very happy a few weeks ago to welcome Miss Gallegher the new Technician whose arrival was eagerly anticipated. We were almost surprised when news came that the prayers of many had been answered and money was on the way for an extension to the building and equipment. We hope the next District report will tell of the new additions. However, we have this to report now that there is a new room for European patients and two additional rooms to the bungalow,—one an up stairs and the other a basement room. When you visit Agra you must see the new Holman Institute build­ ing. The Main unit of the plant is finished and was dedicated on December 14th by Bishop Robinson. This has eight large class rooms and a hall sixty feet long which can be divided into three class rooms. One of the distinguished visitors present said, “You are right in referring 40 DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENTS’ REPORTS

to this structure as a beautiful building.” The building for rug factory is nearly completed and will house a teacher, and provide for fifteen to twenty looms and have a store room for materials. This provides train­ ing of the hands as well as the minds of the pupils, and also prepares them for a type of work different from that carried on by their parents during past generations. The daily attendance hovers arround 250, but there are many more names on the roll, and there are at least four thousand more from whom to gather in others in the years to come. We have six fairly well organized village schools. At Tundla the PaBtor’s wife is conducting a very good school in which more than a dozen Christian children from the Mohullas read besides others who are inquirers. At Firozabad, a city of over 22,000 the Municipal Board has given us the education of the Depressed Classes and are providing the rent for the school building aud giving a grant of Rs. 15 per month towards the teacher’s salary. The Central Primary School in Muttra caters to a number of children in the nearby Mohullas and also the new Christians just across the river. The Bharatpur Darwaza School in Muttra was to be closed, but the people themselves most of whom are Christians, have now pledged their active support, and have promised that if we wifi keep the school going they will build a house for school and church provided we will heip them gee the land. In connection with this school there is anotner incident worthy of mention. The rumour got out that the school was to be closed, and the President of the Auti-Untouchdbility Laague in Muttra wrote to me saying he had heard this and urged me not to close it, but suggested that he might be able to do something to help if I would tell him my difficulties. I expect to have an interview with him immediately after Conference. The schools at iiharatpur and Deeg are not so well organized, but they are going con­ cerns and need to be encouraged. In several other places the wives of workers are conducting small schools that are helping in developing the work. At Bharatpur, and to some extent at Agra the work is opening up very promisingly among the Koiis, the weaving caste, and also among the Chamars. On District Conference Sunday we took the whole Con­ ference out to a small village just across the river outside of Muttra named Dengra. Intensive work had been going on there for several months. This was to be the day of their baptism, and they made great preparations. Early m the morning the Arya Samaj people were there to prevent them, and they worked hard till noon. Then we baptised those who stood firm to tneir promise to become Christians and when we counted the number was 72. These people have been greatly persecuted since then, but they have remained true, and have already done much to spread the Gospel among their friends and relatives in other villages. They have shown a real change in that they have remained quiet amid threats and abuses, and have refused all kinds of bribes and other inducements. One of the op­ positions told one of our workers one day,—“If you do make people Christians, make them like the Dengra Christians. There are several places in the District where the work among the Chamars is most promising. Of these places Chhata stands first where Rev. Talsi Ram is the preacher. He has baptised over 200 this year, and has now at least, 500 others under definite instruction. Karhari is a close second. In this one village I baptised over two hundred in one day, and since that time 1,000 others have been under instruction. Some of these are well to do agriculturists, and all are in fairly good circums­ tances. Kosi has several Chamar Christians and now the worker there tells me he has three villages ready and anxious for baptism. The worker in i ’arah has one village of Chamars ready. Similarly there are promises at Firozabad, Tundla, Sadabad, Mahaban, Manth and Nohjhil. We are holding them back for more instruction. MUZAFFARNAGAR DISTRICT 41

Thus far our self-support has not been very promising, but it is better this year than last. I can not make any pledge for next year, but I sincerely hope it will be far better than anything heretofore wit­ nessed. The three central churches have met their obligations in full, but on them will rest heavier burdens than before as several of the sources of income during the past year have been cut off. We trust grace and strength will be given for the new obligations when we meet them. The village workers have raised about Rs. 400, against 2,000 that was expected. During the past year the staff of workers has been reduced by eight and it is possible that we shall have to reduce three or four more at this time. This means a great readjustment in the work, but we trust the workers will feel their new responsibility and work with added zeal. The work of the school has taken the greater part of our time. This will be reported at another time and place. I want to express my appreciation of the splendid co-operation and fellowship we have experienced during the year. It is a pleasure to bear burdens when there is the spirit of comradeship and the feeling of being feliow workers at a great task. I want to close my report very much as I did last year by saying that This is No Time For Retreat. In my 26 years’ experience I have not seen a time when there were so many open doors, nor have i heard such insistent and consistant requests and demands for Christian baptism. I believe our Board of Evangelism is absolutely right in insisting on a very intensive and persistent campaign of levivalism till the whole Christian community is remade in the likeness of the Son of Man. “ Bhesh badla kya hua, Dil ko badalna chahiye.” The Muttra District is determined to exercise its faith and go forward with God and hold up hte standard of Christ in that great centre of Hinduism till He is crowned Lord of All.

MUZAFFARNAGAR DISTRICT. Robert John, Superintendent. Praise and Thanksgiving.—The Lord be praised Who is the source of all blessings spiritual and temporal and who gave us strength of body and soul to serve for Him yet for another year. Our hearts are full of gratitude to Him for He gave us Victory throughout the year and with His might we were able to withstand the fierce, darts of the devil. This District lies within the borders of two riveys namely the Ganges and the Jumna. There are two canals in this District. Oo the east is the Ganges canal and the west is the Jumna canal which after irrigating this district proceed on to Meerut, and Bulandshahr, Aligarh and Agra and further to the east. In addition to these, we have Burhi Ganga, eastern and western Kali Nadi and Hindan which beautify and add to the picturesqueness of the land. Statistics.—Last year we had 24,188 Christians in this District. Of these 175 died during the year and 100 were transferred to the C.M.S., and 294 were baptised. As a consequence of these, today our number is as below:— Probationers .. 9,559 Full Members .. 6,014 Baptised Children .. 8,834 Total .. 24,407 All these Chi istians live in 404 villages. We have only 18 workers to shepherd this number. Of these two are our regular school teachers There are in addition to these, 16 women workers who help us in ou 42 DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENTS’ REPORTS

task. This year we have ten day schools in the district, in which 111 pupils are receiving both religious and secular education. There are 77 Sunday Schools with 2.520 pupils. We gave our people regular examination in Bible stories taught them during the year and we are glad to report that they got in all 14,510 points. We raised Rs. 1,676 as self-support. We got Rs. 45 for the Episcopal fund and 60 for the Baby Fold at Bareilly. In colportage work, our workers have taken an active part and sold ten New Testa­ ments and 3,145 Gospel Portions and distributed 40,027 religious tracts. Our goal in self-support.—According to the signs of the time, we have taught our village leaders and have got the following results Our endeavour has been that the village leaders may become our helpers in this great work. It gives our heart real joy to say that some of these village people have given out of their time to the preaching of the Gospel and thus have helped us greatly. Let me introduce you to one of our self-supporting Pastors. His name is M. L. Matthews. This good brother has accepted the pastoral care of our Central Church. You may think that we give some remunera­ tion for his services, but no, we do not give him any salary. We have simply given him a house to live in. He will take charge of the pastoral work without any monetary help from us. His wife is in Government service and she has assumed responsibility of looking to the expenses of the family. Can any one dare say that Mr. and Mrs. Matthews have both not sacrificed their means and comfort for the sake of the Gospel. Is it not true and practical Christianity? Does not the Church need today such enthusiastic and real Christian leaders who may serve the Church without looking toward her for support? Mr. Matthews could have earned money by entering into some secular work. We say, “Well done, Mr. Matthews, you have shown us a good way and we greatly appreciate, your help today. We are not able to give you anything but for your labour of love the Lord of the harvest will enrich you with His blessings. Wait a moment and just pay a visit to one of our Day Schools. This school is located at Khatauliin one of the Christian Mohallas (ward.) The teachers are Masih Charan and Diwana, both volunteers You will be surprised to see how nicely the students have learnt their lessons and just look at their takhtis (wooden slates), how nicely they have w ritten. They drill according to the rules. Not only we are anxious about their ‘book learnt skill, but we pay as much attention and even more towards their spiritual welfare. These boys come to school gladly every day, but should a boy be careless, the parents are keen on educating their children and therefore, they bring the delinquent to the school. How can the school not run smoothly, when the teachers and parents are so keen about it. I think that the desire of the heart is the ladder to achieve success. They are making progress daily and are never careless. This school is going on for the last two years, and we hope that it will continne in its beneficial career for many years. Come with me to a town named Banat in the Shamli Circuit. There is neither any teacher here, nor even a preacher m charge at Shamli for one whole year. But here our well known good friend, Bhullan, Choudhri, has given us a nicely built house where we hold our religious services. We have taught the full Choudhri Course to this brother and whatever religious teaching he knows he tries to teach his people and conduct services every Sunday. It makes us rejoice that during the year under review we have either good houses or platforms where services are held regularly in seven places. We are not saying that all over the district we have been successful in holding services every Sunday but in 58 villages and Mohallas we have regular Sunday Services. Success in the Choudhri Course.—This year our workers have taken greater pains in teaching the village leaders the course fixed for training them. As a result, ten choudhries have taken the first year course exa* ROORKEE DISTRICT 43

ruination and five the second year and four the third year. Thus nineteen choudhrles have been successful, Two of our choudhries are ready for special consecration service. We have tested them in their lives and services and are convinced that they both are good Christian persons. When the Bishop will be able to pay a visit to our district, we are planning to have a good Choudhry Convention when these two Christian men will be consecrated. We have to admit that we have not been successful in getting Chris­ tian marriages solemnised among our people But the burial service which our choudhries have been taught, is being used as these people have begun to realise their responsibility in this behalf. This year. 34 were buried according to the Christian ceremony. We have resolved for the next year that we will pay greater attention to Christian burials and Christian Marriages and are sure that success will be ours. In the Khatauli Circuit the intolerance of the C.M.S. has reached its zenith. They have rebaptised our baptised Christians. We have taken all possible precautions to defend ourselves against their attacks, but we have very few workers. The district is so big that if we try to defend in one direction the other becomes open to the attack. If we are not given help at this important juncture and if our hands are not strengthen­ ed, we do not know what the consequences are going to be. Our trust is in the Lord. We say with David of old: “ I lift mine eyes unto the hills. Whence shall my help come? My help cometh from the Lord. He who is the shepherd of Isreal will not sleep nor slumber.” We are sure that the Lord will take care of His work. He will also be with us to the end. The only sad thing about the matter is that up to the present time we had to defend ourselves against the attacks of the non-Christians but now our own Christian brethren whom we thought our helpers in the work of the Kingdom, are coming to molest our work and are sounding the War trumpet against us. We hate to quarrel with our own, but surely we will defend our position and save our Methodist work. Miss A. S. Winslow is the head of the Woman’s work in the district. She is going to make a separate report and therefore I do not think I had better add a word to it. But suffice it to say that the work is being done and there are signs of real progress. I will let the Miss Sahiba say how nicely the work of this branch is going.

ROORKEE DISTRICT.

R o b e r t J o h n , Officiating Superintendent. Myriads of thanks are due to God, who gave us this opportunity that we may serve Him in this District with real consolation and peace of mind. Roorkee District, this year has felt the presence of our Saviour very real and nearer than in the years gone by. He has helped us in every trying moment of life. To proclaim achievement with the blare and flourish of trumpets, and to whisper failure so softly that it is neither heard nor suspected, is the beseting temptation of those, who prepare reports It cannot, but be salutary, therefore, to begin with a confes­ sion of shortcoming and praising Him only, in whose spirit, we live, walk and work. He did not leave us as orphans but chose a person for our help and leadership, who is well known for his vast experience of 13 years as Superintendent, in this Conference; and that worthy person is the Revd. Robert John Superintendent of Muzaffamagar District. He looked after the work very carefully and calmly, in the absence of Dr. Clemes, who was expected during the middle of the year. At the close of the year, we had a Christian community of 9,188 souls. To teach and shepherd the great number, we have a small band of 13 faithful workers and a few Bible readers. The Bible readers look after 44 DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENTS' REPORTS the School and Mohalla work daily. From these figures our difficulty ie apparent. The total number of Baptisms during the year is 410. Ws have 37 Sunday Schools with 728 scholars For boys, we have 12 day schools 208 Girls and 172 boys receive both secular and religious instruc­ tions. The sale of scriptures during the year has been very good. 4 Bibles were sold, 16 New Testaments, 2,243 Gospel portions and 26,202 tracts distributed. The work is carried out by the workers. Roorkee District has three central Churches, which are largely Self- Supporting, i. e., Roorkee, Dehra Dun and Mussoorie. All showed good work during the year. The Members of these Churches have a great love and respect for their Pastors and try to help them in all Church activities. Mussoorie has two congregations, one is the Hindustani and the other is the English. The pastorate of the English Church was left in the hands of Dr. Wilson Of Gonda, who tried his best to promote good will and create new life in the community. The Hindustani Church faced a litt.e trouble but It was soon removed and peace restored. The Official Board at Mussoorie requested Mr. Thorpe to assume the responsibility of the Hindustani Church and work as pastor, until some new arrangement could be made. This Church will gladly stand for all the expenses of the coming pastor. Dehra Dun is, in fact, a big Church, and holds out a tremendous hope for the near future as a self-supporting and self-governing Church. The Church finances, as reported by the pastor are coming up nicely. It craves only for a Church Building. May these people be inspired to build a house for God. The members of the Church had a great day on Christmas, and enjoyed a great feast toe ether. The members of the Roorkee Church are Boys, Girls, Teachers, Preachers and a few laymen who are government Servants and lay wo­ men. The services are conducted regularly and an increasing interest is being shown. Two workers have already planned to go on self-support. One of them has submitted a written declaration to this effect. He stays in Thana Bhawan and the other in Pur Qazi Circuit. We had very good J a Isas in some Circuits. The Jalsas are never forced upon the people, but they themselves made preparations for them. From these Jalsas we could discern the good nature of the people, as to how joyfully they give, when they are interested They are always ready to hear and receive religious teachings We had Chaudhri examination in the prescribed course by the con­ ference this year. Not all, but a few passed. Some Chaudhries have passed the 1st. Year course. When these Chaudhries appeared for the examination and began to answer the questions put to them, there were some friends, who were standing by them listening. They marvelled at their intelligence. May God bless them and choose them for greater service! Roorkee girls school is a source of great blessing for the Christian Community here. I cannot in words give you an exact idea of the good administration which is carried on here, regarding food, games, sanitation and moyal and religious education of children. Here the boys and girls read together up to the IV standard. Miss C. E. Hoffman is incharge of this school. She takes great pains for the welfare of children. Her plan is to take the boys prayer meeting every Saturday in the Hostel. The school has a prayer band. The members pray without ceasing for the well being ot the Christian Community here and for the extension of the Kingdom of God. The more they pray the g r e a te r the power they have. The sick are well looked after. At present 114 are on roll. Of these twenty nine are boys. Having seen the good administration of the school, the Government Officials, College Professors, Pleaders and others are inquiring whether Miss Hoffman would ROHTAK DISTRICT 45

accept their children in school as day scholars. Roorkee girls school went on winning a Shield in games for 6 years which is now hun^ in the school hall, as school property. This year it has won a flag in Nature Study and Drawing in the Teachers Conference, held in Bareilly for U. P. Girls Schools. This year we united with M uzaffarnager to have a joint district conference. The arrangement, on the whole, was good; and the pro­ gramme was well planned and arranged, It was a great occasion for both the Districts. God sent His servants for our spiritual uplift and guidance. We were richly blessed by the Sermons of the Revds. Amar Das, C. C. Herrmann, J. Devadasan, Mr. Martin and Misses Livermore and Win­ slow, Rev. Robert John was the conductor of the programme. Six great topics were discussed with such good results that other Districts followed our example. We passed the days in great harmony and love. We cannot forget Mis? Livermore’s Bible reading Class. It revealed new things to us. We spent a day in prayer and people gave their testi­ monies. The whole atmosphere a t the home, is of love, fearlessness, trust, I have nothing, but praise for the mission to lepers, in promoting their cause for the good of humanity. God grant that the coming year may be a source of new vision and a year of Penticost for the entire district (,Not by might nor by power but by My Spirit saith the Lord of Hosts.”

ROHTAK DISTRICT A mar Da s, Superintendent The year 1932 has been unusual in at least two respects. One is that our Lady Evangelist, Miss L. M. Doyle, went on her well-earned furlough in December 1931 and her successor, our popular Miss Klinge- berger, who had served with us for a term before, did not return from America till the middle of July 1932. Thus the District was without a Lady Evangelist for about six months. Then again, the District Superintendent was elected a delegate to the General Conference held at Atlantic City, U. S-A. He sailed at the end of March 1932 and returned about the middle of July. During his absence, the work was ably taken care of by the Revd. T C. Badley, District Superintendent of the Delhi District. My trip to America is a story all by itself and I will not take time to talk about it here. But this, at least, must be said that, it was full of varied experiences acquired in Europe, England and the United States of America. Without any attempt to disparage any country, I must say that, to visit the Mother Church in U S. A , was a joy, a privilege and a r a r e treat of things deeply spiritual The cordiality with which I was received and the warmth of hospitality shown to me and the interest with which I was listened to was a great encouragement and a spiritual tonic to my soul. It is true that it was a chance of a lifetime for me and the memories I have of this visit to the west will always remain a treasure all through my life. Programme for the development of the rural Church. At our last Annual Conference we had drawn up a clearly defined programme for the development of our village Church, immediately after our return, we held a meeting of our District Council at which we prayerfully discussed the ways and means whereby this programme was to be followed. Chaudhri institutes.—In iViarch 1932, just before I sailed for America, we had held an Institute for our village leaders. They had to give up their work for three days and travel long distances to reach Rohtak. The only thing we provided for them was food and charpoys. They paid the rest of the expenses themselves. We trained them in the 46 DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENTS’ REPORTS

prescribed course and taught them how to lead services in a village congregation as well as a lecture on hygiene was given. Their attention and interest were sustained. While I was attending the General Confer­ ence, my wife held another Institute of this kind and it gives me great pleasure to say that our efforts for thus training our village leaders did not go in vain. At our District Conference, we distributed certificates to seven Chaudhris (leaders) one of them is in the Third Year Course, two are in the second year and the rest are in the First Year. I am sure that, although the work of teaching and training these almost illiterate people is difficult nevertheless it is worth any amount of patient labour and time. This is surely one of the ways to develop our village communities. Baptisms. According to the Programme referred to above we re­ frained from baptising people without having received from them proper proofs as to whether they were both professing and living lives according to the teachings of Christ. This accounts for the fewer number of baptisms. We baptised 271 in all, of which only 27 were adults. I must here mention the fact that, from many villages people have been asking us to baptise them, but for two reasons we have been holding them up from year to year. One I have stated above and the other is the slender line of our preachers. To care for a constituency of 13,878 Christians scattered in 196 villages with a staff of only a dozen preachers with their wives will show the hugeness of our task. How can we in the face of such circumstances take in more numbers? Abruptly but silently our hearts utter the prayer that the Lord of the harvest may send forth more labourers to gather the harvest for Him Faith in the growing Church.—In the Apostles’ Creed we say am ong other things that “I believe in the holy catholic Church” but at times we forget what we say. We do not always show by our actions that we earnestly believe in the catholic church. The ignorance and non- Christian environment of our village Christians, their timidity, their slow­ ness to respond to Christian rites and ceremonies many a time make us feel discouraged and we begin to think that, perhaps our labour has been in vain. But let us remind ourselves that we believe in the Church of Christ. From my District experience, I can quote many instances which will make it clear that among those in whom we would least expect are found the Lord’s truly own. The spark of His Spirit is there and only if we use the right method, we can kindle a great spiritual fire. Persecution is the surest test of discipleship. Let me present before you my Chaudhri Gulzari of Farmana. He was a village Chaukidar (watchman) during the last census much against the wishes of his landlord not only he got himself recorded as Christian, but got all the inmates of his mohalla (ward) recorded as such. This was enough for the infuriated landlords to get him dismissed from his job on false charges. But did he dismiss Christianity from his life? No, never. He stands firm and even though he is threatened to be turned out from his village he is standing steadfast on the Rock. Surely, as his name is he is a garden of sweet smelling flowers for Him. Places of worship.—In three places platforms or small rooms have b e e n given by our Christians to be used as places of worship. This may appear small in the beginning, but if we keep up this important phase of our work, we feel sure that our people will soon learn the habit of Christian worship. Christian Marriages. We had two weddings in our villages per­ formed according to Christian rites and ceremonies. As time goes on we will make still greater progress along this line. If the Saraa Act (An Act to prevent Child Marriages) were to be made realty operative many of our difficulties in tne way of Christian marriages will be solved. As matters stand at present the Act is more or less a Dead Letter. Bible stories and District Conference.—It has been our practice for several years to select eight Bible stories to be taught to our people. ROHTAK DISTRICT 47

I will let Miss Klingeberger tell you how far we have succeeded in this work. We do not at all boast for anything we have done but ascribe everything to our Lord and Master who used us for His Service and Glory. She will also tell you about the District Conference which we held jointly this year with the Delhi District. I can only confirm what she says by telling you that it certainly was a time of great spiritual refreshment. Miss Klingeberger writes:—“After a very pleasant and profitable furlough 1 returned to my work in Delhi and Rohtak Districts on the 15th of July. As soon os possible, after getting my things moved from Sonepat to Delhi, I began touring in the villages Gifts from friends at home and some help from funds on the field made it possible for me to purchase a new car. It is a great asset in the work. It was a real joy and satisfaction to be in the thick of the fight again. A “fight” it surely is, to win souls from the clutches of the wicked one and to feed the souls of those who nave been won to Christ and help them get established in the things of God. As we sow the seed of God’s Word, it is with the assurance that, ‘He that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting,” and again that “In due season we shall reap if we faint not.” In one village, my motor driver overheard an Arya Samajist say rather disgustedly,‘‘These people will not leave this country until t h e y have established Christianity in every village and hamlet of the land.” exactly what we are trying to do. One method to accomplish this end, is the systematic teaching of Bible stories, memorising of Bible verses, the Creed, the Lord's Prayer etc. Thank God for the leaven of His Word at work in the minds and hearts of the people. His Word is a Living Word and sooner or later it is bound to germinate and bring forth fruit. In Delhi District 494 people were examined and 3,491 points were gained. In Rohtak District, 658 were examined and 4>393 points gained. Gradually through this method our people are getting more familiar with God’s word. In the two Districts we have seven Day Schools. In Jind a class of five boys completed the four years’ course for our village schools and were then able to be admitted into a Government school. In another school one little fellow on passing from the third class was so elated that he at once declared his intention to some day take his A. B , degree. Another brother of this boy who finished our school course a few years ago received an incentive for reading while in school by having access to “ The Mashaal” (a monthly magazine for village Christian). He now subscribes for ‘‘The Phut,” “Khazana Jawahir” and “Nur Afshan” at his own expense. He is a promising young man and a leader among the Christians of his mohalla. A joint summer school and District Conference was held at Sonepat this year. There was a fine spiritual atmosphere throughout. All of the speakers who came to us brought real deeply spiritual messages so that it was a feast of good things for our souls. Mr. Pace of Ghaziabad with his Gospel Team came for a couple of days. Their soul gripping testimonies of a new found joy in Christ stirred our hearts to the depth. Many of our workers returned to their villages with a new zeal and a new vision of service for the Master. Medical Work.—The ministry of healing has been of help to us in the evangelistic programme of the district. Places which may ordinarily be inaccessible are reached by means of this service. The women of India greatly need women doctors and they are not slow to recognise the spirit in which they are served. There is a railroad ticket collector whose wife was confined by Dr. Mrs. Das. Of course, she did not get any monetary remuneration and we do not need any What we desire is that we may show the Light of Jesus to our non-Christian friends and if we succeed in this we are more than amply rewarded. We got the enclosed letter from him at Christmas. Can there be anything more that we could desire? 48 DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENTS’ REPORTS

“ In a place like Rohtak where nothing but faded flowers are available one can not help but offer dried petals, but they savour of the love of Christ, our Lord who levelled all barriers of caste, creed, colour and com­ plexion by His supreme sacrifice,” “ My devout prayer is that may His sacred crucifixion, save us all from eternal fires and may we all share life everlasting, Amen." Mind you he is a Brahman by caste. But the leaven of Christ is working in and through him. Self-Support.—In consonance with our Conference our aim is entire self-support. We are glad to report that we have one self-supporting preacher who does not look to us for any financial help. We wish th at his tribe may increase Since the beginning of our ecclesiastical year, we have organised the laymen of our local church and they are responsible for conducting Sunday services. This has relieved the preacher from his Sunday engagement and now he is free to devote his time to some other place in his charge. This is a great help to us and we pray that this plan may prove successful. They have also promised to help us in teaching our village congregations. Our Chaudhris (village leaders) are also giving of their time in some piaces. It is interesting to note that we raised during the year tis 1,476 purely for Pastoral support from our churches in the district. Movement Against Untouchability.—Much is being said and written concerning tne movement against untouchability in India. To understand the implications of this movement correctly, it must be said that its aim is more political than religious. The father of this movement, Mr. Gandhi though acclaimed at times as a religious leader (he is surely a religious man himself) is more of a politician. Side by side with this, the time since when this movement has been launched coincides with the Communal Award given by the British Government, which was not satisfactory to the Hindus because of the fact that the Depressed Classes got separate electorates and consequently the Hindus got fewer seats than they had expected. This made them cautious and careful and they were not slow to find that if they get the Depressed Classes listed in the fold of Hinduism it will be a distinct gain to the Hindu community as far as political power was concerned. The much talked of “temple entry” is more of a theory than actual practice upto the present time. We as Christians are heartily in sympa’hy w^th anything that releases the sixty million odd so-called Depressed Classes of India from the depth of ignominy which hung around their necks as a mill stone from times immemorial and crushed their per­ sonality to pieces In fact, ever since the Gospel message can e to this land, Christianity has been working towards this end. But what we are deeply concerned about is that the protagonists of this scheme are leaving no stones unturned to give wrong and false promises to our village Chris­ tians most of whom have come from such classes. Their illiteracy and the promises of social advantages are the factors which make them an easy prey to this subtle temptation. What we greatly need at the present moment for our village, and for that matter, the city Churches, is the baptism of the Holy Spirit and the blessing of being born again. This is the time when we need inflamed evangelists, preachers who have the Pentecostal power with them, workers who have their hearts in this blessed service, love that knows no bounds, faith that can move mountains, and prayers that can change things. Will you assure us of your co-operation? (6) Standing Committees and Boards Resolutions Suitable resolutions were adopted expressing appreciation of the splendid arrangements made for the entertainment of the Conference.

It was the privilege of Bome of us to live close to where our beloved Bishop lives. How indefatigable in labors! Seldom at home, always on the joD, with his whole heart and soul he has given himself to the work of this Conference. This is the first year of the last quadrennium for Bishop J. W Robinson. We honour him because of his unfailing patience, his wise administration, his sane advice and his steady untiring spirit of service. We wish to assure him of our loyalty and love.

Mrs P. M. Buck Mrs Wilkie Writes:— “ Muss Holman has asked me to write something about mother to be read at your conference and I sit here wondering what I can say—for it seems I could never write as much as is written in the hearts and lives of those who may be gathered here to hear this. For she loved much— and she was much loved. lean not begin to tell all she did, for her life was one of the busiest I have ever known. But I think one of the things I shall always remember best is that she was never too busy or too tired to have time for whoever needed her—a child with a cut finger, a broken hearted woman, a lonely little school boy—whatever the interruptions were she was always ready to forget herself and her own needs and turn to them cheerfully and lovingly and with her whole heart. She often said her life seemed to be largely made up of interruption—feelinsr that there­ by she had failed to accomplish as much in straight ahead work as she might have otherwise- But who can say that the interrptions to our plans are not often the line of our greatest service. But I do not need to tell about her for you all knew her well. It is the facts you do not know I should write about. In his early days my grandfather, David McMillan was school Teacher and he was afterwards County surveyor as long as he had the strength for the work. He had a fruit farm in the very beautiful country just out­ side the little town of Gettysburg, Pa , and it was there that my mother was born when he was already well on in his forties. Her mother died when she was a tiny baby not more than six months old. An Annt came to live with them, but when Mother was four years old the oldest sister then MEMOIRS 57 fourteen, took over charge of the family. And what a happy family they were! three little girls playing about together and making games of all the work they had to do, a brother a bit older, and the older sister. Mother was only sev^n when one day, her little hymn-book in her hand as she went after the cows, she quite alone in the pastures prayed and gave her heart to God- And after that, as so often told us, she was never afraid at night though up to that time she had been real ‘Fraid cat’. Instead she seemed to see angels standing about her bed protecting her when she as the little one had to go up alone to bed before the rest of the family. Then came years of study—the McMillan girls were good students— trudging the mile or two into town and back again each day to get busy with the chorus about the farm. At fourteen she was, as she laughingly said,‘Officially’ converted (for she had never told anyone of her earlier experience; and joined the church and she was not much older when she had collected her first Sunday school class of neglected children to love and teach. She always had one as long as she lived in Gettysburg. The war came when she was still a young girl and was about eighteen when the terrible battle of Gettysburg was fou ght right there, some of the fiercest fighting being right over their own fields and orchards. It was right through these fields that grand uncle of our Mr. Pickett made one of the last and most daring charges of the three days battle. The two sisters then at home and the old father had to flee with the other refugees and when they returned after the battle they found their fields strewn with the dead and the dying. Every home in the town had become a hos­ pital for the wounded. (Amputations were made without anaesthetics)— and every where people wonted feverishly to help as they could. And so through the pain torn little town and the fields of the dead, the two girls and their old father came home to find their little home almost a complete wreck. It was torn by nineteen shell holes, the furniture was broken up, earth work had been made of their books and clothing including their new and cherished Sunday hats. All the food stored by had been eaten, the cattle and the horses had been killed or driven off. The orchards had been cut down by shell fire and as the last sign of desolation, grass was growing oyer every thing, for bags of hay seed in the attic had been hastily emptied, to be used for earth works. But behind all the desolation and pain was the fear that sometime their only :>rother, a cavalry Officer, might be somewhere there among the unknown dead. Mother graduated about this time from the Gettysburg Female Semi­ nary which was the highest education the town offered to women and ranked about Sophomore in the Gettysburg Lutheran College in which they took some of the work and after that she went out to teach the school. The W. F. M. S. was organised a few years later, and in 1869 Miss Tho- burn and Dr. Swain came out to India. Miss Fannie Sparkes followed in 1870 and my Mother, then Caroline McMillan, and Jennie Tinsley, later Mrs. Waugh, came out together in the fall of 1871. It was no sudden decision brought her to India-ever since she had been a little girl studying geography in school Mother had known in a strange way that some day she would be in India for her life work. How it would be come about she had had no idea, but she was nonetheless sure of it. Possibly the fact that she had an uncle who was a Missionary in South India may have had something to do with it—she was never quite sure. But when she was under appointment to India her saintly father, then over seventy years of age told her that when she had been very ill as little baby he had prayed for her recovery and consecrated her in a very special way to the service of God. Coming to India those days was very different thing from that it is today. Travel then was not a common thing, and Missionary work was comparatively new. Mother came thinking she would never see again any one of those whom she-knew and loved so dearly or her old home. Fur­ 58 MEMOIRS

loughs were not mentioned and the thought never occurred to her that she could ever possibly be coming back; and only one who knew how deeply she loved each-one of her family and each stock and stone in the old farm could realise how great was the sacrifice. It was literally laying her all on the altar for love of the Christ and the people of India whom He had died to save. She expected to live in some sort of a ‘chhappar’ perhaps under a p alm tree and to die after a short time and as she ofcen told us the first great shock she had was the comfort of the Missionary Homes, though it was partly because of that comfort that she was enabled to give so long and valuable a service. She stayed for a short time with Bella Thoburn in Lucknow and then went to Moradabad where she worked in the Girls' School with Mrs. Parker. At the first Conference in Moradabad she met my father, and they were married the following summer. Tueirfirst work together was in the Boys’ Orphanage in Snahjahanpore when my father was appointed on coming to India in 187u. Mother often said there was no place where she had lived long in which her roots did not go down so deeply so that it ‘nearly killed’ her to leave it. Shabjahanpore witn its work among the boys and those in the Christian village was the first of these spots m India which she loved so deeply. They toad to leave it after about five years on an early furlough because my father had a very serious break-down in health so that he was hardly expected to live to get home. After two years recuperating at home and taking work in the Theological Seminary there, they were back again in Shahjahanpore. But the first summer made it clear that Father could not yet carry on work in the plains, and he was appointed in-charge of ' the hill district with the riead-quarters in Naini Tal. At the terrible time of the land-slide the Mission Houses there were practically destroyed and so they moved out to Dwarahat and made their home there as it was more centrally situated for a work which extended from Pauri to Pithoragarh. There the little family spent four of among the happiest years of their lives. How they both loved the Mountain-people and the work, hard though it was. i«iany times Mother and the children went along on the long trips. But generally she ‘held the fort’ at Dwara alone with the two children, caring for the local work, particularly the boys' school and the girls' school which shenad started and which was quite a flourishing little in stitution before they left. During this time she was once very seriously ill for some months and they never forgot that Dr. Dease left his work and came all the way back into the mountains where there was no medical help available. And he stayed with them till she was on the mend. And then it seemed that father was again strong enough to stand a plains appointment, and he was sent to Cawnpore. But the first summer there broke him down again comparatively, so that for the second time they were sent home with him so ill that again it seemed he could not live to see his home country again. But again two years spent this time in the home Pastorate-restored him sufficiently for them to return India. Their appointment was the boys school, Philander Smith Institution in Mussoorie. After four years in this work—in which both were deeply interested— they were appointed to Meerut, and there they spent the next twenty years till the time of their retirement from active district work in 1913. There is hardly a member of this Conference who does not know some­ thing of these years of loving service. As an old Meerut School girls in Bareilly put it years after, there wasn’t a ‘chuha’ in Meerut that Mother did not know and love. And how unflagging was her interest in them all and her service for them! The boys all felt she v. as their mother—most of the time she cared for their food and their clothing and kept their board accounts and she knew each boy and his family and shared in his joys and sorrows and anxieties. She started the Girls School and had the care of it. For a year or two until someone was appointed to cake it over. MEMOIRS 59

And even after that she kept up her interest in each-one. And even when she did not know them all by name she would have them over to play through the house once a year or so and kept up the feeling of personal friendship with them. The ‘ Wazifadarnis’ she taught each day for hours on end when ever she was in the station, Almost singlehanded she had the care of the women and their classes when they came in for the month of fummer school each year, and how she loved to go around among their little homes of an evening and chat with each family in turn. Be­ sides she seldom failed to go out with my father on the rounds of the District, going from place to place in slow baihlis or ekhas or dopahiyas (gig) and for shorter distances on her bicycle or walking from zenana to zenana, from village to village, from mohalla to mohalla seeing trie people with the Bible Readers and learning to know and to love them. And teaching them about the Christ she loved, I seldom knew of a busier life or a happier one. She let no one feel left out—and she shed love and brightness all around her. Then came the years of old age in Mussoorie, years still busy in the English work there. And then in later years when she was left alone. She still thought of what she might do for her Master, and the service of her later days was that of selling Gospels. In the Hills she went about in her little rick-shaw busy with this service of love, or sat on a bench near her home with her little pile of books beside her. It was not easy for her to do it. She often told me how hard it was. But she persisted and sold many and many a gospel portion and made many and many a friend for Christ from among those who passed by. In the days of the greatest Political bitterness she was never met with one unkind word. Aryas sat and talked with her and sadhus, students, lawyers, rahis and coolies and who can tell just how far reaching her quiet, loving influence may have been. She spent her winters with us in Cawnpore, and there too she’d go out by the road side, selling Gospel and making friends for Christ. On Good Friday she took sick. It was the day after she had had a little fare­ well ‘cha-pani’ for her little women’s meeting—and she went to join her loved ones in the Heavenly Home on the Second Sunday after Easter. For her to live was Christ and to die was gain. She loved much—and she was much loved. Carrie McMillan Buck has gone up the trail and over the Great Divide into heave-"lv Scenes. VIII.
