ARTICLE VIII

A m e n d m e n t s These by-laws may be amended by a two-thirds vote of the members present and voting at any annual meeting of the Society, provided written notice of the proposed amendment shall have been given at the preceding annual meeting o f the Society, or such amendment shall be recommended by the Board of Managers.

R e s o l u t i o n G o v e r n i n g P r o c e d u r e i n a V o t e b y S t a t e s Resolved, Whenever a vote by States is ordered, as provided in the by-laws, either of two undebatable motions shall be in order: (1) That the debate now close, that the Society recess for fifteen minutes to allow the delegates from the territory o f each State Convention to meet in their designated places on the floor o f the Society to take the vote, and that at the close of the recess the vote be reported to the Secretary, recorded, and announced, or (2) That the vote by States be reported, recorded, and announced at a certain hour at some future session o f the Society, that the delegates from the territory o f each State Convention meet at the close o f this session of the Society, in their designated 10 AMERICAN BAPTIST FOREIGN MISSION SOCIETY places on the floor, and either then and there take their votes, or provide for further discussion within the delegations at their convenience at some other time and place, before the hour of reporting the vote as above provided. In case the second of these motions should prevail, debate on the main question may continue at the pleasure of the Society, but a motion to close the debate shall be in order at any time. When the vote by States has been reported, recorded, and announced, the motion to concur, provided for in the by-laws, shall follow immediately without the intervention of any other business and without discussion. PREFACE

TN the early part o f the nineteenth century the position o f Baptists in America was not one of great prominence. With little organization, they were widely scattered and without facilities for easy communication among themselves. The formation o f the English Baptist Missionary Society, which had taken place in 1792, and the early efforts of the pioneer missionaries in India had, however, aroused a deep interest in this country, so that con­ siderable money was raised and sent to their aid. The interest thus awak­ ened and fostered was accentuated also by the reading of letters from Dr. William Carey, which appeared from time to time in the Massachusetts Baptist Missionary Magazine. When early in 1812 a company o f five young men was set apart for service in foreign lands, and sailed from our shores, a deep impression was made upon Baptists, although the volunteers were of another denomination.

One of these young men, Adoniram Judson, read his New Testament with great thoroughness during his voyage to India, and as a result accepted the Baptist view o f baptism and wrote a letter which was received in BoSton, January 19, 1813, in which he said: “ Should there be formed a Baptist So­ ciety for the support of missions in these parts, I should be ready to consider myself their missionary.” This challenge profoundly stirred the Baptists, so that they began at once to make plans to undertake this work. Luther Rice, another o f the young men, having experienced a like change in belief, returned to America to plead the cause of missions among the Baptists, the direct result of his efforts being the organization at Philadelphia, May 21, 1814, o f “ The General Convention of the Baptist Denomination in the United States for Foreign Missions, and other important objects relating to the Redeemer’s Kingdom,” popularly known as the Triennial Convention. The delegates assembled on May 18, a fact which has led to the erroneous statement frequently made that the Convention was organized on that date.

It is significant that the call to engage in foreign mission work was the first thing that led to organization and unity among Baptists in this coun­ try. In 1845 the Southern Baptists withdrew because of a difference of opinion growing out of the slavery question, and in 1846 the name of the Society was changed to The American Baptist Missionary Union. The name was again altered in 1910, becoming American Baptist Foreign Mission Society. The headquarters were established at Boston, Mass., in 1826, and in 1920 were removed to New York. At the annual meeting in 1908, the Society became a cooperating society of the Northern Baptist Convention.

THE GENERAL REVIEW OF THE YEAR 1938-1939

THE GENERAL REVIEW OF THE YEAR 1938-1939

This 125th annual report of the Board of Managers of the American Baptist Foreign Mission Society, presenting a review of 1938-1939, records more than the usual number of changes in the course o f a single year. There have been sudden and dramatic shifts in the international scene in Europe with the Munich agree­ ment, in the Far East with the prolongation of the Japan-China conflict, and in India with the rise of the Congress Party. Changes have occurred in the administrative staff of the Society and heavy losses through death and retirement have been suffered in the ranks of missionary personnel. The financial difficulties have necessitated serious reductions and readjustments in the field program. Along with all the problems, new opportunities have pressed in from every side. In the following paragraphs both changes and opportunities will be recorded.

EFFECT OF WORLD EVENTS UPON MISSIONARY PROGRAM Walter Lippman, writing in the New York Herald Tribune recently, said: “ This is a very dark moment in the history of mankind, and the heart of the crisis is in the will and purpose of men.” While the immediate crisis that led to that statement has passed for the moment, the war-clouds still hang low, and the frenzy of expenditure for armament continues in all parts of the world. Everywhere there are national and racial antagon­ isms, fear, unrest, and a sense of insecurity. During times like these, the task of missionary and Christian leader alike is at least three-fold: to bring men and women everywhere into personal and vital relationship with God through Jesus Christ in such a way that they will experience the peace of redemptive love and have that full and abundant life that expresses itself in all relationships — personal, family, social, economic, and political; second, to strengthen the churches so that they will be more effective agencies for the development of fully rounded personalities, hu­ man betterment, and community uplift in advancing the kingdom 15 16 AMERICAN BAPTIST FOREIGN MISSION SOCIETY of G od; and third, to strengthen the world Christian fellowship that it may be a real factor in national and international affairs and bring in world peace and world brotherhood.

GOVERNMENTAL CHANGES IN INDIA AND BURMA For more than a full year now, Burma and the Provinces of India have been governed by autonomous Provincial Legislatures under the new Constitution. In India, the Congress Party, which had majorities in the Legislatures of seven of the Provinces last year, has now secured a majority and formed a ministry in Assam also, making eight of the eleven Provinces of India now under the sway o f the Congress Party. On the whole, the new Constitution has worked well, despite the fact that the Congress Party objects to the basic assumptions of the Constitution, and has consistently opposed the provisions in the Constitution for the All India Federation, which includes the Indian States. In opposition to the expressed wish of Mr. Gandhi, the Con­ gress Party this year elected Mr. Subhas Chandra Bose as their President; but when the Congress met in Tripuri, March 12 of this year, the following resolution was enthusiastically passed : The Congress declares its firm adherence to the fundamental policies of the Congress which have governed its program in the past years under the guidance of Mahatma Gandhi and is definitely of the opinion that there should be no break in these policies, and that these should continue to govern the Congress programs in the future. . . In view of a critical situation that may develop during the coming year, and in view o f the fact that Mahatma Gandhi alone can lead the Congress and the country to victory during such a crisis, the Congress regards it as imperative that the executive authority of the Congress should com­ mand his implicit confidence and requests the President to nominate the Working Committee for the ensuing year in accordance with the wishes o f Gandhi.

Congress passed a number of other resolutions including one setting forth the “ national demand,” which reiterated the coun­ try’s determination to achieve independence and have a Constitu­ tion framed for a free India through a Constituent Assembly elected by the people on a basis of adult franchise, without inter­ ference from foreign authority. One o f the things that stands in the way of complete democracy in India, is the provision in the Constitution whereby each of the GENERAL REVIEW OF THE YEAR 17 religious groups of India— such as Mohammedans, Hindus, Jains, Sikhs, etc., are allowed so many seats in the Legislative Assem­ blies, the number of the seats for each group being determined by the population of that group within the Province in question. The Christians have objected to this “ communal representation,” and have been consistent in opposing it. India is divided into many language groups, and there has been an outspoken desire this year, on the part of the leaders of India, to fix upon some one tongue to serve as a lingua Franca. The National Congress has suggested that Hindustani be the official language, but there has been very decided opposition to this from the non-Hindustani-speaking areas, more particularly among the Tamil and Telugu peoples of the Madras Presidency. The Congress Party has stood for economic and social reforms, and among these has been the passing of a “ Prohibition Act,” covering intoxicants in the Madras Presidency. The Act was passed in 1937, and experimentally applied in certain districts. The results of the experiment are being watched with keen inter­ est, not only by other parts of India, but also by India’s well- wishers around the world. In Burma, under the New Constitution, events have been less happy and reassuring than in some of the Provinces of India. During the year there have been most unfortunate riots in Burma, first, between the Mohammedans and the Buddhists, as a result of some derogatory remarks about Buddha in a book written by a Mohammedan and published some years ago, but recently given wide-spread publicity in Burma. These religious conflicts, which quickly developed into racial riots between Burmans and Indians, have had wide-spread economic effects, and have led to the death o f several hundred people, the destruction of a million dollars worth of property, and the forced return to India o f thousands of Indians who had been living in Burma. Paralleling these riots there was serious agitation on the part of the students of the country against the educational authority of the Province, which seriously interfered with the work of the entire educational system of the Province, including mission schools and Judson College. One phase of this agitation was the demand for the amendment of the University Act, to bring the University more directly under the control of the Government 18 AMERICAN BAPTIST FOREIGN MISSION SOCIETY in power. This would have seriously affected all university and college education in the University of Rangoon, of which Judson College is a part. The bill was later withdrawn; the ministry in power overthrown, and a new Government set up, and now there is renewed agitation for amending the University Act. What the future holds is far from certain; but the Board has faith to be­ lieve that whatever happens Judson College will continue to have full religious freedom and the opportunity to continue her unique contribution to the education of Burmese youth and the larger life of the Province.

BAPTIST UNION OF INDIA, BURMA, AND CEYLON The first assembly of the Baptist Union of India, Burma, and Ceylon met at Cocanada, India, January 3 to 7, 1939. There were present representatives from the American Baptist, British Bap­ tist, Canadian Baptist, Australian Baptist, and New Zealand Baptist Missions, but the assembly was especially notable for the contribution made by Karens and Burmans, Telugus, Panjabis and Bengalis, Assamese and the representatives of the hill tribes from the northern forests. The Assembly developed a fine sense of Baptist solidarity and unity that led to the vote to invite the Baptist W orld Alliance to hold its next Congress in Burma or India.

THE MADRAS MEETING OF THE INTERNATIONAL MISSIONARY COUNCIL A notable development in international cooperation during the past year was the enlarged meeting of the International Mis­ sionary Council taking place at Tambaram, Madras, India, De­ cember 12-29, 1938. Four hundred and seventy representatives of the Christian church in sixty-four nations came together. The representatives o f the so-called younger churches outnumbered those o f the older churches. The Conference reviewed completely every phase of missionary service in the present day. The out­ standing features o f the gathering were the new sense of world­ wide fellowship between the Christian churches, the urgent need for a courageous advance in proclaiming the gospel messages, the importance of interdenominational cooperation in the develop­ ment of Christian service on every field, the necessity for em­ GENERAL REVIEW OF THE YEAR 19 phasizing the training of national colleagues, and the recognition of the message of Jesus as the only answer to the world’s present ills. The inspiration of the meeting at Madras was brought to this country by a group of Nationals who were enlisted by Dr. Leslie B. Moss, Secretary of the Foreign Missions Conference of North America, for the purpose of bringing the message of the Con­ ference to the constituency in America. The group included Dr. Hachiro Yuasa, President Doshisha University, Japan; Dr. Rajah Manikam, Secretary National Christian Council, India; Miss Minnie Soga, Educationalist and native of the Batu Tribe, South A frica; Miss Ila Sircar, Student Christian Movement, India; Dr. B. C. Hsu, Professor of Philosophy, Shanghai Uni­ versity, China; Dr. Vaez Camargo, Secretary Christian Council, Mexico. Conferences were held in forty-seven strategic centers, and in addition the teams visited ten other cities. There was an average of twelve to fifteen meetings in each conference, and the teams reached over one hundred thousand persons. Foreign Secretary J. C. Robbins conducted denominational meetings at most of the centers visited by the teams.

FOREIGN SECRETARY J. W. DECKER VISITS THE F A R E A S T Attendance upon the meeting of the International Missionary Council at Madras in December, 1938, enabled Foreign Secretary J. W . Decker to visit the Far Eastern fields, both en route to Madras and on his return. Only brief stops in Japan and East China were possible on the way to India. On the return journey, however, Doctor Decker was able to visit the great Burma Mission, and from there proceeded over the new China-Burma road through the new side-door into China. From Kunming it was literally a flying visit to the West China Mission, for fifteen hundred of the sixteen hundred miles were traveled by air. Leav­ ing West China by way of Hannoi and Hongkong, Doctor Decker later spent considerable time in the Philippines, South China, East China, and Japan Missions. It was extremely fortunate for all of the work that Doctor Decker could establish these intimate contacts with the fields at this time and his reports will be awaited eagerly, not only by the Board, but by the denomination. 20 AMERICAN BAPTIST FOREIGN MISSION SOCIETY

THE CASE FOR CHRISTIAN MISSIONS IN CHINA A N D JA P A N The frightful conflict now raging in the Far East has, of course, disrupted many of the normal missionary activities. Mis­ sionaries and their colleagues are showing extraordinary heroism and courage in maintaining the morale of the Christian commu­ nity. Though interrupted, a limited program of work continues. Chinese Christian leaders plead that the Board support the service of able-bodied missionary volunteers, for partnership and fel­ lowship with them in these days o f trial and distress. It is unthinkable that Western Christians should not respond to this challenge. With the recognized failure of diplomatic means to restore peace, and the futility of force so clearly demonstrated, it can be realized more clearly than ever that the supreme demand is for the moral and spiritual influence of Christian missions. The need for proclaiming the Christian message in China and Japan was never more imperative. It will be incomparably valuable when the day of reconciliation dawns. A distinguished mission­ ary has well said that Christian missions is the one force which is making any substantial contribution to a worth-while foreign policy for the United States; all else seems like building bomb­ proof shelters into which to crawl in case of trouble.

TRIBUTE TO MISSIONARIES IN CHINA The Board cannot fail to pay high tribute to its missionaries. They have stood by under conditions which in many cases would have justified seeking safety elsewhere. In East China the cities of Kinhwa, Shaohing, and Ningpo (though in “ free China” ) have been continually under the threat of air attack, yet the mis­ sionaries have quietly carried on. They have rendered an out­ standing service to refugees, conspicuously so in Hangchow. In some localities, as in Kinhwa, the church has found strength in Christians compelled to flee from occupied areas. Missionary service in these days of stress has prepared much soil for seed- sowing. In South China, where under threatened invasion many Chinese have felt that they must seek the protection of British Hongkong, GENERAL REVIEW OF THE YEAR 21 no missionary has left his post. The Board is happy to report the safe return to the field of those on furlough. Dr. and Mrs. K. G. Hobart have gone back to South China after a year of service at Judson College, Rangoon, Burma. In West China, all missionaries whose return was due have gone back to the greatly increased opportunity for service in this “ new, new China” though the journey had to be made by devious routes and at real risk. The strain on all the missionaries in China must not be forgotten, and they should be continually in the prayers of their Christian friends.

CHRISTIAN COLLEGES IN CHINA Through all the hardships of modern warfare the twelve American-supported colleges in China continue to teach the principles of Christianity and democracy. So begins a report written by the National Emergency Committee for Christian Col­ leges in China. O f these twelve colleges there are three— Uni­ versity of Shanghai, University of Nanking, and West China Union University— in which Northern Baptists are deeply inter­ ested. Two of the three have been compelled to transfer their activities to temporary locations outside of the occupied areas. West China Union University alone of the three remains on its own campus, and to that campus the University of Nanking has traveled the long, long journey.

University o f Shanghai O f the activities of the University of Shanghai, Foreign Secre­ tary J. W. Decker gives a very vivid picture: “Nothing I saw was more encouraging than the glimpse I had of the work of the Associated Christian Colleges of Shanghai. Four dispossessed colleges— our own University of Shanghai among them— have set up their work in two great office buildings in the heart of the International Settlement. Each college retains its identity and autonomy. Resources in libraries and in laboratory equip­ ment have been pooled. Students freely elect special courses in any college other than the one in which they are matriculated, thus permitting real economy in the provision of highly special­ ized higher courses, which usually draw few students. As I went from classroom to classroom, through library, reading- 22 AMERICAN BAPTIST FOREIGN MISSION SOCIETY

rooms, and laboratories, and looked into the clear, earnest, eager faces o f these young people— there are 2,697 of them— a great surge of hope for China’s future came into my heart, a future in which these fine boys and girls, all touched by Christ, and many of them won to definite allegiance to him, would have a large share.” W e could wish that it were possible to add to this report that the University of Shanghai had been able to return to its campus, but since that campus is still within the Japanese military zone no one as yet has been allowed to reside there.

University of Nanking T o the far-distant Chengtu campus of West China Union Uni­ versity have gone Mr. and Mrs. B. A. Slocum, Baptist represen­ tatives on the staff of the University of Nanking. On their way to Chengtu after furlough, Mr. and Mrs. Slocum visited the campus at Nanking and reported:

The Japanese say that if we do not open the University at Nanking, they will do so. A representative of the Japanese Diet, after a visit to the University, suggests that a Christian Japanese be added to the Board of Directors of the University. This representative feels strongly that a Christian school like the University should be opened, and that it is pos­ sible to secure financial support from Japan. The International Relief Committee Headquarters is at the University. It is a heartening sight to see the distribution of rice each day. If those in America who have contributed to the Church Committee for China Relief could see the joy on the faces of those receiving little sacks o f rice, they would have a feeling of real satisfaction. All the seats in the University Chapel have been removed and huge bags of rice have been piled to the ceiling, only an aisle being left through the center of the building.

W est China Union University In West China Union University there are now students from thirty other educational institutions in China. With this great influx the number of Christian students has been materially in­ creased. Among the instructors who have come from other insti­ tutions are many able scientists and scholars and some noted Christian leaders. In 1936-1937 there were four hundred students on the campus at Chengtu, there now are 1,259. Buildings are crowded. An urgent need is for more accom­ GENERAL REVIEW OF THE YEAR 23 modations. Providentially the foundations for this great Uni­ versity were well and truly laid.

CHINA RELIEF It was reported a year ago that with the approval of the other organizations in the cooperative movement, the Foreign Mission Societies had inaugurated a campaign to raise $60,000 to meet the emergency needs arising out of the war conditions in China. The appeal met with a very generous response on the part of the con­ stituency and a total of something over $65,000 was given for this purpose. Active solicitation by the two Boards ceased last fall when the Church Committee for China Relief (105 East 22nd Street, New York) began to present China’s need on an interde­ nominational basis.

REPORTS FROM THE MISSIONS Among the necessary economies in home expenditures is a limi­ tation in the size of the annual report and the expense of its distribution. Both legal and historical requirements make it out of the question to eliminate certain phases of the report, but even some of these are being cut to a minimum. The Summary of Reports from Missions will not be continued as a special section. An attempt will be made, however, to review the major occur­ rences of the year as revealed by mission reports and to sum­ marize in the following paragraphs events which have not been covered under separate headings.

Burma Burma, now separated politically from India and governed under a constitution of its own, continues to be one of the most fruitful fields. While the tide of nationalism and self-govern­ ment has given rise to serious problems, opportunities for service in new situations have multiplied. The events of this year have already proved that there is a stability in the Christian concept which is of great value under changing social and political condi­ tions. While the work among all races has felt keenly the shrink­ age in missionary staff and work appropriations, there are many evidences of progress among which the following are a few. The first officially recognized Karen National Day was cele­ 24 AMERICAN BAPTIST FOREIGN MISSION SOCIETY

brated on December 21, 1938, a truly historic occasion. A part of the message, broadcast to the Karens, reads:

W e are emerging from isolation into the stream of national affairs. Our conviction is that our two million Karens have a significant part to play in Burma’s destiny. . . W e owe our existence as a people, not to organization or any political arrangements, but to certain distinctive qualities that have been given us. Our traits include simplicity, a love of music, honesty, steadiness, and a sense of God. We believe that we can best keep and develop these characteristics in free association with other peoples. . . Today we recall our heritage, our ancient poets and prophets and our tradition of Yzva (G od). W e believe every individual, every home, every village has a place in the new advance. Progressive in thinking, constructive in plan­ ning, and courageous in living, we can share responsibility with other com­ munities for the making of Burma a united people.

The Karen and Burman Seminaries at Insein continue to train leaders for Christian service throughout the land. The new Willis and Orlinda Pierce Divinity School building, of the English Seminary, was dedicated on January 6, 1939. The Kachin Bible Training School, Kutkai, reports progress on the new church and Bible school building. Frontier medical work holds an important place in the mission contribution. Dr. G. S. Seagrave, at Namkham, reports hospital and ten substations, with over 15,000 out-patients and 2,296 in­ patients for the year. From Kengtung Dr. R. S. Buker writes of leper colonies, dispensary, hospital, and out-station work. The Pyinmana Agricultural School, in its sixteenth year, is de­ veloping extension service, administering and supervising agri­ cultural projects, and training lay workers in the villages. In the Kachin Hills a new rural reconstruction project is being sanctioned and supported by Government. Rev. B. C. Case of the Agri­ cultural School is inaugurating preliminary surveys preparatory to opening the work.

Judson College Because of the turbulent conditions in Burma and the large part taken in these political activities by university students the aca­ demic work of Judson College has continued under great handi­ caps. Under the able leadership of Rev. K. G. Hobart, Ph.D., the religious work of the College has been greatly strengthened in this GENERAL REVIEW OF THE YEAR 25

difficult and troubled year. Dr. and Mrs. Hobart are now return­ ing to South China. The College was also fortunate in having Associate Secretary J. R. Wilson, a delegate to the Madras Conference, present for a series of special meetings. From his long experience in student work he was peculiarly fitted to touch the hearts of college men and women and hold up Christ as the one and only hope for the individual and the nation. His talks were a real factor in main­ taining the morale of the student body.

Assam In this great field inhabited by nine million people of many races using 167 different languages and dialects, Baptists have a primary responsibility for both hill and valley peoples. Steady progress is noted among the Garos and the many divisions of the Naga tribes. At one session of the Garo Association 2,113 were present by actual count and the Tura church contributions in­ creased 64 per cent. Among the Nagas in the vicinity of Impur, the dedication of a new church, made possible through sacrificial giving, was a happy event. The serious need of missionary reen­ forcements to meet the enlarging opportunities is a paramount problem. Workers say, “ W e dare not go into non-Christian vil­ lages until we have provided for the instruction of converts already made.” Trained Christian leaders are needed in all phases of the work. In the Jorhat Christian Schools 29 tribal and racial groups from all fields of the Mission were represented last year. O f the Gau- hati hostel work, Rev. V. H. Sword writes, “ I should like to give all my time to the two thousand college and high-school students. If the lives o f even a small percentage of these young people were consecrated to Christ what changes would take place in Assam in the years ahead!” The medical work at Jorhat, Kangpokpi, Tura, and Impur offers increased opportunities to serve. A t these stations are treated an annual combined total of over 27,000 dispensary patients and well over 1,200 in-patients. Leper work continues, with Kangpokpi reporting a colony of 80 and a home for untainted children, and Jorhat registering 100 in leper homes. 26 AMERICAN BAPTIST FOREIGN MISSION SOCIETY

South India The work o f the Telugu Mission has shown a continued growth despite reductions in work appropriations and mission staff. Marked advances among the Sudras and the depressed classes are noted. The mass movement among the outcastes continues, and new converts are now coming into churches of all denominations at the rate o f 200,000 a year. Northern Bap­ tists are having a very real part in this ingathering. If preachers and teachers could be provided to shepherd the incoming thou­ sands, many times the present number could be received. One o f the great opportunities facing the Christian Church today is the training o f Christian leadership in mission fields.

Ramapatnam Theological Seminary With its enrolment of fifty consecrated young people during the past year this theological seminary is doing a unique service, as the only such institution in the Telugu Mission. Special stress is being placed on teaching in rural reconstruction for most of the students live and work in the villages. The adult literacy campaign is being emphasized in all the churches, conducted by seminary students and field workers.

Preston Institute Preston Institute, coeducational Middle and Normal Training School, the only such school for the seven stations of the Deccan, continues its training of village youth. With nearly one hun­ dred students in attendance during 1938 its influence is far- reaching.

Missionaries and Christian Nationals have been greatly heart­ ened by visits from delegates to the Madras Conference. The South India Mission was fortunate to have at its January Mis­ sion Conference: T. S. Li, Dr. E. H. Hume, Mrs. Leslie E. Swain, Doctor Kagawa, and Dr. John R. Mott.

Bengal-Orissa The Bengal-Orissa Mission reports that during the past year careful study has been made of all phases of the work, resulting in a concentration on the best and most effective lines o f service. GENERAL REVIEW OF THE YEAR 27

Advantage is being taken of work with certain responsive racial groups, and withdrawal from areas which have produced little or no fruit has been determined upon. The lack o f sufficient trained evangelists is everywhere evident and special classes for interested and able laymen are being held. The Congress government of the new Province of Orissa is making a serious effort to control opium consumption. Care and treatment of opium addicts and lepers under missionary super­ vision has constituted an important contribution to public health. After a recent visit to the Balasore Christian High and Tech­ nical School the Governor of the Province reported that it was one of the most interesting educational projects in Orissa. Ten years in advance o f public opinion, this mission school has been combining technical and literary training, an idea only now finding favor among educationalists of India.

South China The bombing of countless villages and the burning of many cities both by the Japanese, and by the Chinese soldiers to pre­ vent the invaders from financing their campaign from the con­ quered territory, have rendered thirty million people in China homeless and without support. The need of ministration to body and spirit has overtaxed all benevolence available. Mission Secre­ tary A. H. Page reports that most of this destruction has been predominantly in the occupied areas and that South China, for the most part, has not been occupied. In the southeast quarter of China only three places have been taken: Namoa Island, later abandoned; Amoy, an island; and Canton, none in North­ ern Baptist territory. The aerial bombings of Swatow, however, did damage to many homes, and has increased the number of refugees everywhere. Swatow Academy, where for a time work was badly disrupted, opened the fall term with an increased attendance due to the closing of other schools in Swatow city. The hospitals at Swa­ tow, Hopo, and Ungkung have had a busy year. Cholera broke out in Swatow and Kakchieh during the summer, and thousands o f anti-cholera injections were given. A large number of typhoid cases were also reported. Swatow Christian Institute has been one o f the chief centers for the distribution of rice, tapioca, and 28 AMERICAN BAPTIST FOREIGN MISSION SOCIETY

clothing furnished largely by Chinese in Hongkong and the Straits Settlement. During these troubled days there has been a further reorganization o f the Ling Tong Convention looking toward more aggressive evangelistic effort as soon as conditions permit. Rev. B. H. Luebeck brings a vivid picture of conditions, typical of work elsewhere, “ In an endeavor to land troops in July, the Japanese navy took the island o f Hai Sua under artillery fire. People fled in a panic. Our flourishing church became scattered. Those who were left had no leader. Later conditions quieted down again. On November 20 I hired a junk and went to shep­ herd a little flock that was left. The church was filled, although I missed quite a few familiar faces, especially good old Deacon Ngung. But when we sat around the Lord’s table in the after­ noon, a buzzing filled the air, and the approach of twenty-eight bombing-planes was announced. At first people became nervous, but soon a marvelous peace was felt, for a woman opened her mouth in prayer, saying, “ Lord, we are in thy hand.” The planes passed by without hurting the island. Then a vote was taken again to invite a preacher, and later to start a free night-school for all the children of the impoverished population. A short visit and a little encouragement meant so much to them.

East China W ar has swept over a considerable portion o f the East China Baptist Mission field and has left death and destruction in its wake. Chinese civilians have suffered untold sorrow and loss. O f vital concern to all has been the effect of present disturbed conditions on mission work. From Shaohing comes word of the bombing o f Kochiao, typical of attacks on hundreds o f defense­ less villages. Into the milling market-day crowds, after a careful reconnaissance, bombs were dropped with devastating results. Doctors and nurses in the hospitals worked night and day looking after the wounded. The report of the Chekiang-Shanghai Bap­ tist Convention reveals that Wayland Academy, Hangchow, has been transformed into a refugee camp for between two and three thousand women and children. Kinhwa Christian refugees have strengthened the church and destitute refugees have received succor. The North Shanghai Baptist Church, its own building GENERAL REVIEW OF THE YEAR 29

destroyed, has borrowed the large hall o f the Y. M. C. A. in the French Settlement and instituted a Forward Movement which gives promise of large usefulness. There is the story of a refugee student who started a daily vacation Bible school in his home village and led in consecration meetings. The pastor of the Huchow City Church, at first driven out by the Japanese occu­ pation, has returned to seek out the scattered members of his parish. Most remarkable of all, revival meetings are reported in the mountain district of Shaohing, among the refugees at Mo- kanshan, and in the Sinkomen Church in the Ningpo field. The Kinhwa churches have redoubled their evangelistic efforts and the year 1938 brings a total of 280 baptisms, more than twice those of 1937. O f the five Northern Baptist stations in East China two are in “ occupied China” and three in “ free China.” To the areas under Japanese control must be added the great campus of the Uni­ versity of Shanghai, on the edge of the city. About the future of the work in Huchow and Hangchow there is an ele­ ment of uncertainty. In Hangchow, for example, the Japanese are insisting that Wayland Academy be opened under Mission auspices (with Japanese controlled curricula) or that Baptists face the question of the handing over of the work to them. A number of the middle schools of East China, in addition to the University o f Shanghai, have found refuge in Shanghai, forming the “ East China Joint Christian Middle School.” Baptist mis­ sionaries who have been compelled to flee to Shanghai have found great opportunities for service in this school, in the North Shang­ hai and East Shanghai churches, in the Christian Center, and in refugee camps. A group of Wayland students has also joined in the work of the Shaohing schools. In Ningpo the Chetung Middle School suffered in attendance. Teachers were dropped, salaries of those remaining were drastically cut, expenses were pared down, and everything done to maintain the institution. The enrolment has increased and students are now returning in large numbers.

W est China A new spirit has come to western China with the influx of so many prominent leaders from eastern provinces. Foreign Secre­ 30 AMERICAN BAPTIST FOREIGN MISSION SOCIETY tary J. W . Decker writes from Szechuan, voicing the indomi­ table spirit of these educated Chinese refugees:

Many of them are occupying crowded and undesirable quarters on some back street, whole families fully accustomed to homes now living in one room. The cost of living is high and salaries, if any, have been cut. But their heads are up, and their hopes high. W e saw and talked to many of them—teachers in the refugee Christian schools in Chengtu and others—and we have yet to hear a word of complaint or o f self-pity. Here, for example, is a professor of philosophy of the University of Nan­ king, a stanch Christian and an accomplished teacher. For more than twelve months he has not been able to get news as to the fate of his parents in one of the ravaged Chekiang towns. The father, a Presbyterian elder of long standing, was eighty-one, and the mother seventy-five. A brother in that region is trying to locate the old folks. Not a word of bitterness is spoken by this son who carries on for Christ and his country in the supremely important task of training China’s future leadership. No matter when or how peace comes, this western country will never be quite the same again. Szechuan and Yunnan have been rudely shaken out of their provincialism. New enterprises, once begun and their value demonstrated, will be continued. This in itself creates an opportunity for Christian missions. Everywhere there was evident the warmest appreciation expressed by intelligent and discriminating Chinese friends of the value of Christian work and service for China’s life.

Japan The work of the churches and schools in the East Japan Baptist Convention has been carried on with increased interest and with­ out serious interruption. Church attendance and church con­ tributions, at first adversely affected by war conditions, are now indicating a decided upward trend. A t the Fukagawa Christian Center, Tokyo, a new clinic has been built with funds raised locally, and at Waseda Hoshien a new classroom building for the International Institute has been completed free of debt. O f special significance was the dedication of the Tenny Memorial Baptist House, which occupies a commanding site between Yoko­ hama and Tokyo, and will serve as a hostel for Baptist theo­ logical students attending the seminary at Aoyama Gakuin. A plan for a special evangelistic campaign has been formulated and will be pressed during the coming months. It calls for emphasis on church visitation, union services, and gospel schools for the training o f laymen. The department of evangelism is cooperating with local churches in the holding o f farmers’ gospel schools and GENERAL REVIEW OF THE YEAR 31 conferences with educational leaders in rural districts. The Kidzu Rural Center is attracting wide-spread attention. Under Jap­ anese leadership, and with missionary cooperation, this demon­ stration center is an outstanding Christian venture in farm and community work. In Japan today every form of social organization, the home, the school, the temple, the shrine, the church, is feeling the force of the patriotic appeal, and is attempting to meet the demands made upon it. Everywhere there is abundant opportunity for distinctive Christian service. Every community has its specific problems, its wounded soldiers, its widowed mothers and its or­ phan children. The situation is summarized by Dr. J. A. F oote:

Even as the churches and Christians in the United States during the World War finally won acclaim by active support of the nation’s fighting forces, so have the churches and Christians of Japan won their similar acclaim. There is no active anti-Christian movement apparent now. Churches hold their services and win their converts much as usual. The gains reported are in those places where pastors have kept strictly to gospel preaching; have not let the propaganda in; have been constant in the spiritual ministry. The people have learned how to sacrifice and give for national purposes and this is being reflected in church allegiance. Where heart hunger is, the gospel of Jesus Christ satisfies and saves, be it wartime or no.

Foreign Secretary J. W . Decker adds, following his recent visit to Japan :

The difficulties of the Japanese Christians have not been overestimated; to the contrary they have not been sufficiently realized. Fellowship with them has proved a real spiritual privilege, especially when contrasted with the passions the conflict has aroused. Under censorship and relentless regimentation there is no question but that Christian support for the government is relatively complete. Nevertheless consciences generally are troubled and uneasy, and a few well-informed leaders are in deep distress of heart.

Belgian Congo This year Protestant missions gave recognition to the sixtieth anniversary of the opening of work in the Belgian Congo. A special celebration was held in Leopoldville, June 12 to 19, 1938. The hosts were the Baptist Missionary Society of England and the Congo Mission of the American Baptist Foreign Mission 32 AMERICAN BAPTIST FOREIGN MISSION SOCIETY

Society and the Woman’s American Baptist Foreign Mission So­ ciety. The conference brought together representatives of twenty societies. A musical pageant, presented largely under the leader­ ship of Rev. and Mrs. E. G. Hall, represented historical events in the history of the development of the colony and the entrance of Protestant missions. A large audience of visitors from around Leopoldville, including the Governor-General and his staff and most of the leading government officials and commercial representatives of the area were in attendance. Several other events, o f lesser import perhaps, show definite advance along many lines. The year marked the first arrival of a Baptist missionary by air-plane, four days from Europe to the capital of Belgian Congo. Under the auspices of the Congo Protestant Council the difficult but highly important work of Educational Adviser for all Protestant missions in Congo was begun by Rev. G. W . Carpenter, Ph.D., released by the Society for the task. The erection of the first permanent buildings on the two youngest stations, Kikongo and Moanza, took place. The first group of natives to complete the course of study in the new Medical Training School at Sona Bata was graduated. The in­ stallation of electric lights and running water in hospital, schools, church, and residences at Sona Bata and of electric lights at Banza Manteke added greatly to efficiency. The beginning of a spiritual revival at Vanga has resulted in new vigor, new joy, new conse­ cration of hundreds of Christians and the conversion of other hundreds. The year also marked the opening of a flourishing new outpost, some seventy-five miles from the Sona Bata station, among a people who have had but little contact with Christianity in the past.

Philippine Islands The year 1938 has been one o f continued progress in the Philippines. The activities and the importance of the Convention continue to grow. Mr. Jorge O. Masa, the Filipino General Secretary of the Convention, was forced to resign due to illness, and Rev. Engracio C. Alora, one of the younger men who has already proven himself in the pastorate and who has had the privilege of study in America, was secured for this position. Baptists of the Philippines were represented at the meeting of GENERAL REVIEW OF THE YEAR 33

the International Missionary Conference in Madras by one of their most able laymen, Mr. E. Padilla, Executive Secretary of the City “ Y ” o f Manila. Again the Mission is able to report an increase in the total number of baptisms for the year. In all sections of the field plans for increased evangelistic effort are already being put into effect. A full-time Bible colporter has been at work. Bibles, testaments, gospels, and tracts have been widely distributed. The , Department of Rural Life and Work continues to function ad­ mirably and efficiently. Two important developments in the field of education are the merger of the Baptist Missionary Training School with the School of Theology of Central Philippine Col­ lege and the opening of a four-year college course at Central Philippine College. Reports of the medical work in the Em­ manuel Hospital, Capiz, and the Iloilo Mission Hospital show an increase in number of patients. Boards of Control have been formed in both hospitals and are functioning smoothly, giving added impetus to the work. Rev. S. S. Feldmann, Mission Secre­ tary, writes: “ W e face the future with renewed hope and cour­ age. W e are keenly aware of our responsibilities, and we pray for an outpouring o f the Lord’s blessing in even greater measure than we have yet experienced.”

Europe At the end o f September, 1938, it seemed that war in Europe was inevitable. The British fleet was mobilized, and armies in several countries were partially mobilized. Then came a brief spell of relief and hope. But in a very short time fear fell over Europe once more. The situation is the worst it has been since the W orld War. The war in Spain has ended officially, but there is as yet no real peace. The number of refugees driven from their homes now runs into hundreds of thousands. Anti-Semitism grows worse and extends to countries where it was unknown be­ fore 1933. So much money and energy are being drained off into unproductive industries that the standard of living is falling every­ where. French Baptists suffered a great loss in the death of Pastor S. Farelly, who had spent fifty years in the mining districts of Northern France. One son, Maurice, is a missionary in the Cam- 34 AMERICAN BAPTIST FOREIGN MISSION SOCIETY eroons; another, Robert, is a pastor on the same field where his father labored. Danish Baptists celebrate their one-hundredth anniversary in 1939. The dismemberment of Czecho-Slovakia in October, 1938, and the complete destruction o f the country as an independent nation in March, 1939, has raised serious problems in this unfortunate country. Latest reports indicate that Baptists there are carrying on bravely against fearful odds. The school in Prague is still' open.

VISIT TO MISSION FIELDS BY ASSOCIATE S E C R E T A R Y J. R. W IL S O N In connection with his attendance upon the Madras meeting of the International Missionary Council as a delegate of the Foreign Missions Conference of North America, Associate Secretary J. R. Wilson was asked by the Board to visit such of the missions in British India and the Far East as it was possible for him to reach during the winter months and to study the details of the work with a view to the promotional interest among the constitu­ ency. During his visits to Burma, Bengal-Orissa, Assam, South India, South China, East China, and Japan, Doctor Wilson had opportunity for making many public addresses to missions and churches. His work on the Pacific Coast has been carried effec­ tively during the year by Rev. E. S. Burket, now on furlough from service in South China.

COUNCIL ON FINANCE AND PROMOTION and THE JUDSON FELLOWSHIP The secretaries o f the Society have cooperated during the year with the Council on Finance and Promotion in its regular pro­ motional program and also in the presentation of the Judson Fel­ lowship plan. Dr. A. C. Thomas, a member of the Board of Man­ agers, has served as the chairman of the national committee o f the Judson Fellowship. The committee has issued literature bringing the Fellowship to the attention of the churches of the Northern Baptist Convention. The signatures of those who become Judson fellows are to be recorded on specially prepared paper for deposit GENERAL REVIEW OF THE YEAR 35 in a box made of durable wood which it is proposed to lodge in the chapel at Judson College, Rangoon, Burma, for a period of fifty years. In order that all states may be represented in this plan the committee is arranging for the young people of each state to prepare a suitably engraved copper plaque to be affixed to the surface o f the box. The financial returns from the Judson Fellowship will be reported by the Council on Finance and Pro­ motion at the time of the Northern Baptist Convention. The efifort has resulted in a wide-spread study of Judson’s life and in a very considerable amount of missionary educational work being done through special meetings and mission study classes.

THE BOARD OF MANAGERS The Board was privileged to hear as speakers a number of people with extraordinary responsibilities in the Christian world, among them Dr. J. H. Rushbrooke, General Secretary of the Bap­ tist W orld Alliance; Dr. W . B. Lipphard, Editor of Missions; Dr. A. L. Warnshuis, Secretary of the International Missionary Council; Sir Harold Mackintosh, President of the World Sun­ day School Association; Rev. Emory Ross, Executive Secretary of the Africa Committee and General Secretary of the Mission to Lepers; Miss K. Nora Brockway, Principal of St. Christo­ pher’s Training College, Madras, India; Dr. Rajah B. Manikam, Secretary of the National Christian Council of India, Burma and Ceylon; Dr. Charles S. Detweiler, Secretary of The American Baptist Home Mission Society. It was also a pleasure to welcome to Board meetings the fol­ lowing missionaries, many of whom either addressed the Board or took part in the discussion in sessions of the standing commit­ tees: Rev. and Mrs. A. S. Adams, Rev. E. S. Burket, Rev. E. H. Cressy, Mr. E. H. Clayton, Mrs. Anna M. Salquist, Mr. and Mrs. B. A. Slocum, of China; Dr. and Mrs. J. A. Ahlquist, Rev. R. W . Holm, Rev. and Mrs. Fred Chambers, of Assam ; Rev. C. E. Chaney, Rev. C. L. Conrad, Mr. S. H. Rickard, of Burma; Rev. A. T. Fishman, Rev. S. W . Bawden, of South India; Dr. and Mrs. F. W- Meyer, Mr. H. F. Stuart, of the Philippines; Rev. C. E. Smith, Rev. W . F. Robbins, of Belgian Congo. 36 AMERICAN BAPTIST FOREIGN MISSION SOCIETY

The organization meeting of the Board was held September 26, 27, 1938. The following officers were elected: Chairman, Dr. A. L. Miller, of Boston, Mass.; Vice-chairman, Dr. Henry B. Robins, of Rochester, N. Y .; Recording Secretary, Dana M. Albaugh, of New York. Unfortunately, because of a health diffi­ culty which made it impossible for him to travel, Doctor Robins felt compelled to submit his resignation. In accepting it the Board lost a valuable member, who had given twenty years of out­ standing service. Rev. Gordon Poteat, of Chester, Pa., was ap­ pointed to fill the unexpired term of Doctor Robins on the Board, and Dr. H. J. White was elected Vice-chairman for the remainder of the year. Ill addition to the meetings held in Milwaukee in connection with the Northern Baptist Convention the Board met in New York in September, November, January, February, and April. The average attendance was twenty of the twenty-eight members.

MISSIONARY PERSONNEL The continued decrease in missionary staiT should give every thinking Baptist great concern. The average net loss for all fields has been eleven families per year for the last five years. This year the Society lost, by death and retirement, twelve families. To replace some of these losses, three missionary families, two single men, and one single woman have been ap­ pointed: to Assam—Dr. and Mrs. Oliver Hasselblad, Jorhat; to Burma—Rev. and Mrs. Walter Keyser, Bassein, Dr. O. H. Hillman, Judson College, Miss Frances M. Ryder, Taunggyi School for Missionaries’ Children; to South India—Rev. and Mrs. W . C. Thomas, supported by specific gifts; to South China — Dr. William Braisted. The Board should send out ten families a year for the next three years to meet the most urgent o f the needs and replace only a few of the missionaries for whose suc­ cessors national bodies and missionaries in every one of the fields are pleading. But unless there is a decided increase in receipts, it will be impossible to send out more than one or two new families a year. This is a most serious situation, and it weighs heavily upon the hearts of all who are charged with administering the work. GENERAL REVIEW OF THE YEAR 3 7

BACKGROUND OF THE BUDGET AUTHORIZED IN F E B R U A R Y F O R 1939-1940 The budget for this year (1938-1939) has been carried through with only minor variations from the original plan adopted by the Board a year ago. These adjustments will be fully covered in the Financial Review of the Year. The budget for 1939-1940 has received careful study during the current year. A t the February meeting the Board reluctantly came to the conclusion that the spending budget for 1939-1940 would have to be set at $825,000 or $60,000 below the figure for 1938-1939, the year covered by this report. In general, four con­ ditions led the Board to this decision. With an accumulated deficit standing at $201,393.94, it was imperative to build a budget which would anticipate a provision for reducing the heavy debt load. At the time the budget was adopted the increased giving through the Judson Fellowship scarcely offset the decreased giv­ ing through the Unified Budget. A shrinkage in income from non-donation sources had to be anticipated due to the problems of reinvestment which will be fully covered by the Treasurer in the Financial Review of the Year. In calculating the operating budget for 1939-1940 the Board has estimated receipts from non-donation sources at $385,000 as against $400,000 for 1938-1939. Receipts from donation sources for 1939-1940 are estimated at $504,800, based on the preliminary announcement by the Finance Committee of the Northern Baptist Convention of the Society’s allotted share in the anticipated receipts from churches and individuals. This report, which reduced the expec­ tancy of the Society in the proposed 1939-1940 Unified Budget of the denomination $20,000 below the figure for 1938-1939, was a deciding factor in the decision to curtail the spending budget o f the Society. The reason for this action of the Finance Committee seemed to be the necessity for bringing into the unified program certain organizations which have not been sharing in the unified receipts but because o f their present financial condi­ tion must now do so. It was with great regret that the Board authorized the follow­ ing reductions, which will affect every phase of the work of the Society, both at home and abroad. Had the Board not been able 38 AMERICAN BAPTIST FOREIGN MISSION SOCIETY to take advantage of the favorable exchange trends in China and India, the curtailments would have been even more severe.

1. Applied 10 per cent, cuts on work appropriations and care of property in South India, Japan, East, South and West China; 15 per cent, cuts in Burma, Bengal-Orissa, Assam, Congo, and Philippine Islands. 2. Reduced New Appointee item from $10,000 to $3,000. 3. Reduced Europe from $22,000 to $15,000. 4. Reduced Cooperative Agencies item from $4,500 to $3,329. 5. Eliminated item for field visit. 6. Estimated saving of $3,330 to be made by the transfer of Kangpokpi, Assam, to specific support by the Swedish Conference. 7. Transferred from regular budget to specific support (Coles Funds), $3,016.79. 8. Reduced home expenditures, $17,000.

SERIOUS REDUCTIONS IN HOME EXPENDITURES Home expenditures have had to be reduced at the expense of service to both missionaries and Board members. However, it was early realized that the Board could not adopt an $825,000 budget for 1939-1940 and continue to maintain home expendi­ tures at the same level as that of years when the spending budget was considerably higher. The $17,000 cut in this item means among other things that the salary provisions for seven em­ ployees of the Society, including one officer, had to be eliminated from the budget. At least one of these employees has been with the Society ten years. It should be borne in mind that this step is being taken at a time when it is more difficult to raise money, when costs of administration are mounting because o f demands made by the denomination-at-large and the government, and in the face o f increasingly complex problems of foreign administra­ tion.

PERSONNEL CHANGES AT HEADQUARTERS In view o f impending changes in the staff at headquarters, the Board issued the following announcement under date of October 25, 1938:

The retirement age set by the Board of Managers of the American Baptist Foreign Mission Society for its missionaries and secretaries will GENERAL REVIEW OF THE YEAR 39

be reached by several of the latter within the space of a few years. In order that adequate time might be given for the necessary adj ustments and replacements, the Board appointed a committee several months ago to study the matter. The retirement of one of the officers of the Society, Dr. George B. Huntington, Treasurer and Budget Secretary, will occur at the close of the present calendar year. Happily the Board has discovered among the members of the present staff the qualities needed for the diffi­ cult tasks which Doctor Huntington has carried, and thus finds it possible to provide for the continuance of his work without adding to the staff. At a later date the Board will wish to make a fuller statement regarding the long and distinguished service rendered by Doctor Huntington for the denomination and the cause of Christian missions. The committee has made recommendations which have been adopted by the Board, as follow s: Upon the retirement of Dr. George B. Huntington, Treasurer and Budget Secretary, which will take place December 31, 1938, Mr. Forrest Smith, Associate Treasurer, will become Treasurer of the Society, and Air. Dana M. Albaugh, at present Associate Secretary in the Home De­ partment, will become Budget Secretary. Mr. Smith has served the Society at Headquarters for a period of nineteen years. He entered the office as Chief Accountant in the Treasury Department, and has successively assumed additional responsibilities, especially in the line of care of invest­ ments and legal correspondence until he has become familiar with all the work of the Treasury. The effective service already rendered is a sufficient augury o f his success in the larger responsibility he is now asked to undertake. Mr. Albaugh entered the service of the Society fifteen years ago when he was commissioned as a missionary to Congo. After a fruitful term upon the field ill health prevented the return of the family to Africa. Mr. Albaugh has since served at Headquarters in the Home Department except for a period o f three years, during which he did pro­ motional work with the Board of Missionary Cooperation and the State Convention of Michigan. His service in these various lines has given him the detailed knowledge needed as a background for the duties of Budget Secretary, which he is now to assume in addition to the Recording Secre­ taryship which he has carried for a number of years. Another staff adjustment which is to take place simultaneously with those just mentioned is the promotion o f Dr. R. L. Howard from the position of Associate Secretary to that of Foreign Secretary. Doctor Howard has had a long and varied experience in the work. He was com­ missioned as a missionary to Burma in 1910. After carrying on evangel­ istic and educational work for eleven years he was elected Principal of Judson College, which position he occupied with distinction for four years. Unable to return to the field on account of family ill health he was asked by the Board to serve in the Foreign Department as Association Secretary. He is now acting for Dr. J. W. Decker in the administration of the Far Eastern fields during the latter’s visit to the Madras Con­ ference of the International Missionary Council, and the Asiatic Missions. 40 AMERICAN BAPTIST FOREIGN MISSION SOCIETY

Mr. Smith and Mr. Albaugh began their new tasks January first. It is expected that Doctor Howard will continue to carry the correspondence for the Far East until Doctor Decker returns, but shortly thereafter will assume full administrative responsi­ bility for the British India fields.

RETIREMENT OF GEORGE B. HUNTINGTON One of the changes recorded in the preceding paragraph de­ serves special attention. Dr. George B. Huntington, Treasurer and Budget Secretary, retired on December 31, 1938, after thirty- five years o f unusually significant service throughout a period marked by many problems and adjustments. His colleagues on the staff, Board members and missionaries will greatly miss his sound judgment and his friendly sympathetic counsel. The esteem in which he is held by all is clearly revealed in the fol­ lowing resolution adopted by the Board of Managers at the meet­ ing held in New York, November 14, 1938:

The retirement of Dr. George B. Huntington, December 31, of this year, terminates the active relationship of one who has rendered signal service to the Society in several capacities for over thirty-five years. Shortly after graduation from Rochester Theological Seminary, Mr. Hunt­ ington was engaged as clerk “on trial for three months,” a bit of organ­ izational caution which may have seemed natural at the time because of the young man’s age and inexperience, but which in the retrospect o f his eminent service brings a smile. From this beginning Mr. Huntington succeeded to ever-increasing responsibilities as Assistant Secretary and Associate Secretary in the Foreign Department for fifteen years, as Treas­ urer since 1918, and as both Treasurer and Budget Secretary since 1927, in that happy interrelation of a man and his work whereby the job makes the man and the man makes the job. A t the time o f the thirtieth anniversary of Doctor Huntington’s service in 1933, the Board declared: “To few men are given the opportunity, the ability, and the spirit to make such contributions to Christian enterprises as those made by George B. Huntington within the last thirty years. His influence has been felt to the very ends o f the earth, and his work has counted mightily in making Christ known among many races and nations. May he be given strength for many years more of service for God and man.” The five years since then have not only enhanced his worth in the continuing regular functions o f his office, but they have also been marked by his incalculable service in the Evaluation Studies occasioned both by the diminished income o f the Society and by the ever-recurring necessity GENERAL REVIEW OF THE YEAR 41

of reorienting mission work to meet changing world conditions. To this work Doctor Huntington brought the qualities which have marked all of his service, the sense of divine calling which led him to study for the ministry and to find in secretarial service a specialized expression of the work of the ministry, the understanding of all phases of the Society’s work through the experience which preceded his still further specialized work as Treasurer and Budget Secretary, the sound financial judgment in bal­ anced relation to the recognition of spiritual values and resources which ever marks off the work of the Kingdom from secular concerns. In all of his service his was a rare combination of prudence and vision, of realism in conserving financial resources for their wisest use joined with faith in the providence and purposes of God. These qualities which the Board notes in its own relations with Doctor Huntington have been manifested also in all the councils o f the denomina­ tion and in interdenominational relations. The Board feels sure that all who have known Doctor Huntington in this land and on the far-flung frontiers of the Kingdom, will join in regret at the termination of his service, but in gratitude for his life and labors.

THE COUNCIL ON CHRISTIAN EDUCATION The Board was represented on this newly created Council of the Northern Baptist Convention by Home Secretary P. H. J. Lerrigo. This Council was brought into being by an action at the Milwaukee Convention and held its first meeting in New York in early December. Dr. O. H. McDonald was elected chairman. Serious study is being given to effective ways for bringing about a “ unified educational approach and program” in the denomination. Budget Secretary D. M. Albaugh represented the Board on the Curriculum Committee of the Council. This committee has had two lengthy meetings, and divided itself into numerous subcommittees. Some important developments are the preparation of the age-group manuals, the proposed unified ex­ hibit o f materials at the Los Angeles Convention, and the three- year Leadership Advance Program in which all the cooperating agencies will participate. The Committee on Youth Program is planning to call together in December, 1939, some 150 young peo­ ple to create a permanent youth organization which will be “ broadly representative, inclusive, and effective.”

AMERICAN MISSION TO LEPERS With leprosy so wide-spread throughout the Far East and Africa, a phase of responsibility assumed by mission doctors in 42 AMERICAN BAPTIST FOREIGN MISSION SOCIETY many fields is the care and treatment of lepers. In this Christ- like service the Society has been aided by grants from the Ameri­ can Mission to Lepers whose program is directed toward the following major objectives:

To provide the care and treatment of lepers when and where necessary. T o supply a Christian ministry for lepers. To protect in “preventoriums” healthy children o f leper parents. T o encourage governments to full responsibility for lepers.

During the past year the American Mission to Lepers voted substantial sums to help finance Baptist work for lepers in Sona Bata, Belgian C ongo; Jorhat and Kangpokpi, Assam ; and Keng- tung, Burma.

AFRICAN FILM PROJECT Rev. Emory Ross, formerly a missionary of the Disciples in Africa, and at present Secretary of the Africa Committee of the Foreign Mission Conference of North America and o f the American Mission to Lepers, this year made an extended visit to Africa. H e first attended the International Leprosy Con­ ference at Cairo and subsequently visited many of the other African dependencies, among them Belgian Congo. In connec­ tion with his African tour Mr. Ross carried through a plan for securing motion-pictures of native life in the Bantu areas. In the conduct of this work the Africa Committee had the co­ operation and expert advice of the Harmon Foundation, the details of the plan for the production of the motion-pictures being superintended by Mr. William L. Rogers of the latter organization. The actual field work was carried out by Mr. and Mrs. Ray Garner under the general direction of Mr. Ross. Films were produced in Cameroons and Congo illustrative o f the life of the African peoples and the daily program of foreign mission service. Two of these films were produced on fields of this society, Banza Manteke and Sona Bata respectively.

END OF LIFE’S JOURNEY The Board of Managers regretfully reports the death of twelve missionaries during the past year. Three were in active service, GENERAL REVIEW OF THE YEAR 43 and their going has created staff vacancies difficult to fill. To relatives, friends, and associates on mission fields and in the home­ land sincere sympathy is extended. The annals of the Society and the Board record the devoted service of all these valiant mission­ aries of the Cross o f Christ.

Mrs. Luke Bickel The death of Annie Burgess Bickel, retired widow of Captain Luke Biclcel, of the Inland Sea, Japan, occurred in England, April 26, 1939. Mrs. Bickel was bom in Norwich, England, on November 21, 1866, and educated at private English boarding schools. She was married on June 14, 1893, to Captain Bickel, son of Dr. Philipp Bickel, missionary to Ger­ many. In 1898 they were appointed to Japan, to take up a unique work in the Inland Sea. Their service, on the Fukuin Maru (Gospel Ship), is a household tale among Baptists everywhere. Captain Bickel died in Kobe, Japan, in May, 1917. Their one daughter, Evelyn Bickel Topping, is the wife of Missionary W . F. Topping, of Himeji, Japan, and continues the missionary tradition of this interesting family.

Rev. J. Herbert Cope, D.D. Dr. J. H. Cope, 30 years a missionary among the Chins, died at Haka, Burma, on June 13, 1938. It was a difficult field to which Mr. and Mrs. Cope were appointed in 1908, and many of the Chin Hills people heard the gospel for the first time from them. In due time their efforts were rewarded; numberless churches were organized and hundreds of converts won. In addition to preaching and teaching, Mr. Cope translated the New Testament and other Scripture portions into the Chin language. He pre­ pared hymn-books, school-books, and translated Pilgrim’s Progress. He was also Honorary Inspector of Government schools. In recognition of his splendid work he was awarded the Kaisar-i-Hind medal in 1906, by the India Government and the King of England. In 1935 he received the D.D. degree from Colgate University. Mrs. Cope’s ill health pre­ vented her stay in the Chin Hills in later years, and in spite of the loneli­ ness of separation Mr. Cope continued the work to which they had given so many years. He was stricken while on tour and died a few days later.

Mrs. M. D. Eubank Mollie Sharp Eubank, wife of Dr. M. D. Eubank, died at Kansas City, Missouri, on September 24, 1938. With her husband she had served from 1899 to 1906, and from 1910 to 1915 in Huchow, East China. Mrs. Eubank was born near Palmyra, Mo., June 7, 1866. Her education was received at the Ladies’ College, Liberty, Mo., and at the Baptist Missionary Train­ ing School in Chicago. In June, 1894, she married Rev. M. D. Eubank, M.D., and received appointment to East China in 1899. Upon their return to America on their first furlough, in 1906, Doctor Eubank was retained 44 AMERICAN BAPTIST FOREIGN MISSION SOCIETY

for four and a half years, speaking and campaigning among the churches. They went back to China in 1910 and continued their medical, educational, and evangelistic work until 1915. Since their return to this country Doctor Eubank, as field representative and Director of Promotion for the state of Missouri, has continued to serve the denomination and the Kingdom.

Rev. Thomas D. Holmes Rev. T. D. Holmes, retired, died at Alfred, New York, on September 8, 1938. He had served as a missionary in China from 1893 to 1915. Mr. Holmes was born at Gloversville, N. Y., April 26, 1860. He was a graduate o f the University o f Rochester, 1890, and of Rochester Theo­ logical Seminary, 1893. Designated to Kinhwa, China, Mr. and Mrs. Holmes sailed in October, 1893, for educational and evangelistic work at that station. Ill health necessitated their return to America in 1912. Mrs. Holmes and their five children survive him.

Rev. Albert L. Kennan, M.D. Dr. A. L. Kennan, retired Free Baptist missionary to Bengal-Orissa, died on November 16, 1938, in Hilliard, Fla. Born in Menasha, Wis., December 26, 1864, he was graduated from Hillsdale College, 1890, and from the Hillsdale Theological Seminary, 1896. Following his marriage in June, 1890, to Miss Phylena Ranney, he continued his studies while serving as student pastor. In 1898 he received his Doctor o f Medicine degree from the Chicago Homeopathic Hospital and School. In 1899 Dr. and Mrs. Kennan were appointed to serve under the Free Baptist Con­ ference in Bhimpore, Bengal-Orissa. After the merger, in 1911, they con­ tinued to serve in the same station until 1914 when they were transferred to Midnapore. There they continued until their retirement in the home­ land in April, 1917.

Mrs. Frank Kurtz Elizabeth Fletcher Kurtz, retired, wife of Rev. Frank Kurtz, of South India, died July 22, 1938, in Kalamazoo, Mich. With her husband she had served for forty years (1896-1936), in Ongole, Vinukonda, Hanumakonda, Bapatla, Madira, and Secunderabad, South India. Her supervision and work with Bible-women, and in child welfare, deserve special note. Mrs. Kurtz was born in Kalamazoo, Mich., May 28, 1867. She was graduated from Kalamazoo College in 1889 and married in September, 1893. Her husband and their three sons and three daughters survive her.

Rev. John H. Oxrieder, D.D. Dr. J. H. Oxrieder, thirty years a missionary in Bengal-Orissa, died in Granville, Ohio, on November 21, 1938. Born January 22, 1868, in Garden City, Minn.; he attended Parker College, Winnebago City. After taking his theological work at Parker College he was ordained, 1898, and served GENERAL REVIEW OF THE YEAR 45

in two short pastorates in Minnesota and Iowa. In June, 1900, he was married to Miss Carrie M. Fuller. They were appointed under the Free Baptist Conference, 1902, and sailed for evangelistic station work in Kharg- pur, India. He took up the work at the English Church, supervised build­ ing operations on the Phillips Memorial Church and a mission bungalow and carried on the Indian work. In 1909 they were transferred to Bhim- pore, with continued supervision of the work at Khargpur. In 1911, Free Baptist work and workers in Bengal-Orissa came under the American Baptist Foreign Mission Society. Dr. and Mrs. Oxrieder went back to India in 1913, and were redesignated to Santal work and work among the Indians of their old field. They returned to the homeland in April, 1931, for retirement.

Harold W . Smith H. W. Smith, 55, Superintendent of the Baptist Mission Press, Ran­ goon, Burma, died on January 19, 1939. In addition to his extensive work at the Press, Mr. Smith was Field Secretary of the Mission, officiating Mission Treasurer, a prominent member of the Rangoon Municipal Co­ operation and of the Rangoon Trades Association, and representative of the Society and Mission on important governing bodies of the University of Rangoon. Mr. Smith was born in Worcester, Mass., May 25, 1883, received his Bachelor o f Science Degree at the Worcester Polytechnic Institute in 1907, and, after taking additional work at Teachers’ College, Columbia, taught at the Iowa State University. There he received his Master of Science degree. Appointed to missionary service in March, 1911, he was designated to Mandalay, Burma, as Principal of the Boys’ High School. In August, 1911, he was married to Miss Hulda Kellar, and they sailed for the field almost at once. In 1915 Mr. Smith was appointed to assist at the Mission Press for three years. Transferred to Bhamo after fur­ lough they spent several years among the Kachins, in station evangelistic and educational work. In 1929 Mr. Smith returned to the Mission Press as its Superintendent, a position he occupied until his death, a wise counselor, an indefatigable worker. The multiplicity of his task was typical o f that of many another missionary in these difficult days of staff reduction. Mrs. Smith, their three children, friends, and colleagues every­ where mourn his early passing.

James L. Snyder James L. Snyder, printer, for 24 years connected with the Mission Presses of the Society, died on November 24, 1938, at Stamford, Conn., after a prolonged illness. His service as a missionary covered the period from 1901 to 1925. He went to Rangoon, Burma, with the great practical asset of ten years of experience with a prominent firm of New York printers. He was transferred to the Philippine Islands, where from 1911 to 1914 he was 46 AMERICAN BAPTIST FOREIGN MISSION SOCIETY

Superintendent of the Mission Press and Treasurer of the Mission. In 1915 he returned to Burma, and in 1922 was appointed full Superintendent of the Mission Press, Rangoon. Mission printing came to be known as the finest found anywhere in all Burma, and the spread and influence of the printed W ord throughout the Province owe much to Mr. Snyder’s quiet efficiency and earnest Christian purpose. Mr. Snyder was born in New York City, January 24, 1869. His wife, Ella Dayton Snyder, and their son Charles, survive him.

Mrs. Chester F. Wood Dorothy Shaw Wood, 40, wife of Rev. Chester F. Wood, of West China, died after a short illness, in Newton Center, Mass., on November 9, 1938. Appointed to foreign mission service Rev. and Mrs. C. F. Wood sailed for China in 1920. Two terms have been spent there, the first in Yachow, 1920 to 1926; the second in Suifu, 1930 to 1937. As evangelistic station missionaries their contribution to the general progress o f mission work in these troublous times has been worthy of special note. Mrs. W ood was bom in Marblehead, Mass., May 1, 1898. She was graduated from Jackson College in 1920, married in August o f that year, and sailed for the field immediately. Mr. W ood and their four children survive her.

Rev. George W . Taft, D.D. On January 21, 1939, Dr. George W. Taft, missionary in Japan from 1889 to 1897, died at his home in De Land, Fla. He had served as field worker of the Society in the homeland from 1897 to 1902. As President of the Northern Baptist Theological Seminary, Chicago, 1918 to 1936, his contribution to the ongoing work of the Kingdom cannot be measured. Throughout his lifetime he had been connected with local, state, and national Baptist boards, was organizer and first president of the Baptist Orphanage and Home Society of Western Pennsylvania and vice-president of the Illinois Baptist Convention. Doctor Taft was born at Salem., Mich., July 17, 1865. He was a graduate o f Kalamazoo College, 1886, and received his D.D. degree from there in 1915. After graduation from the Rochester Theological Semi­ nary, in 1889, and his marriage to Miss Mary A. Boyden, they sailed to take up work at the Japan Theological Seminary, Tokyo. Mrs. Taft died in 1890. Two years later he was married to Miss Jessie D. Humpstone, in Yokohama. They were designated to Kobe in 1895, and continued there until their return to the homeland in 1897.

William Carey Whitaker William C. Whitaker, missionary in Burma from 1921 to 1931, died at Los Gatos, Calif., on October 4, 1938. He was born on September 13, 1891, at Newton Highlands, Mass. Educated at the Oregon Agricultural College he sought missionary appointment and served at the Pyinmana GENERAL REVIEW OF THE YEAR 47

Agricultural School, Burma, for one term. There his work consisted largely of teaching, the preparation o f agricultural texts in the Burmese language, and in the supervision of the school farm. During the last part of his term he also supervised the village schools and the evangelistic work of the whole Pyinmana field, acted as treasurer of the Pyinmana High School, and as a member of the governing committee of that school. His was the responsibility for construction work on school buildings. Ill health compelled his return to the homeland in 1929. For some years he was on the faculty of the Marysville Union High School and Yuba Junior College, Calif. He was about to complete his work for his doctorate in plant pathology at Corvallis, Oregon, at the time of his death.

The Board also records the death of two who have given faith­ ful service in denominational circles in the homeland.

Rev. Alfred W . Anthony, D.D. Rev. A. W. Anthony, of West Lebanon, Me., Free Baptist representa­ tive on Mission Boards, died at Waltham, Mass., on January 20, 1939. A leading spirit in interdenominational as well as denominational matters, his contribution was notable. A member of the Interdenominational Comity Commission, founder of the Committee on Goodwill between Christians and Jews, Chairman of Federal Council Committees, he still had time to represent Free Baptists as general secretary of the Baptist Foreign and Home Mission Societies.

Rev. Emory W . Hunt, D.D., LL.D. In the death of Rev. Emory Hunt, May 20, 1938, the Christian church lost an outstanding educator, preacher, and missionary leader. Influential in advancing the kingdom of God throughout the whole world his greatest contribution was doubtless made as a college president. At both Denison and Bucknell Universities his Christlike personality was strongly felt. He served for two years as president of the Northern Baptist Conven­ tion (1910 to 1912), and for four years (1914-1918) as president of the American Baptist Foreign Mission Society. In 1920 he visited Europe and assisted in determining the policy of Baptist work there. At the time of his death, and for twenty years prior, he was a member of the Board of Managers o f the Foreign Mission Society. On two occasions he visited Burma and spent some time at Judson College with his daughter, Helen, dean of women. His life and influence will be a continuing and biding factor in Kingdom work.

FANNIE DOANE HOME With twenty-seven children of missionaries the facilities of the Fannie Doane Home in Granville, Ohio, have been crowded to the limit this year. It is anticipated, however, that the number 48 AMERICAN BAPTIST FOREIGN MISSION SOCIETY

will be considerably reduced next year by graduations and with the return on furlough of the parents o f some of the children. T o meet the needs of the larger family the supervisory staff was increased. Miss Maud Brook has continued efficiently as Super­ intendent. In September, 1938, Miss Lorna Wearing, of Roches­ ter, N. Y ., assumed the responsibilities of Assistant Superinten­ dent. Because of the large number o f small children in the home it seemed advisable to secure some person to give the major part of her time to the attention and care of this younger group. Miss Ethel Bacon was selected for this position in May, 1938.

HOMES FOR MISSIONARIES The Society continues to maintain suitable furnished houses and apartments at reasonable rentals for the use of missionary families at home on furlough. The three residences in Granville, Ohio, have all been occupied this year. An apartment in the Judson House at Malden, Mass., and an apartment in Newton Center, Mass., have been vacant. Both Newton Center and Malden offer exceptional advantages to the missionary on furlough. They are close to fine educational institutions, within easy access o f medical and hospital service, and are in friendly church surroundings. Applications for use of the homes should be made as far in ad­ vance of furlough as possible. Ordinarily the houses and apart­ ments are assigned in the spring for occupancy the following September.

DEPUTATION SERVICE OF MISSIONARIES The review of the year would not be complete without a word o f appreciation for the effective deputation service rendered by missionaries, and we give herewith the list of those who have served this year but who were not mentioned in last year’s report:

Burma: Rev. and Mrs. C. E. Chaney, Rev. and Mrs. C. L. Conrad, Rev. A. C. Hanna, Mr. and Mrs. S. H. Rickard, Jr., Mr. and Mrs. D. O. Smith, Rev. and Mrs. H. O. Wyatt, Rev. and Mrs. M. V. Young; Assam: Rev. and Mrs. R. F. Chambers, Rev. R. Holm ; South India: Rev. and Mrs. S. D. Bawden, Rev. A. T. Fishman; Bengal-Orissa: Rev. and Mrs. E. C. Brush, Rev. and Mrs. H. I. Frost, Mrs. H. C. Long; East China: Rev. and Mrs. E. H. Clayton, Rev. S. S. Beath, Mr. and Mrs. B. A. Slo­ cum; South China: Rev. A. S. Adams; Philippine Islands: Mr. and GENERAL REVIEW OF THE YEAR 49

Mrs. H. F. Stuart; Congo: Rev. and Mrs. P. A. MacDiarmid, Rev. and Mrs. W. F. Robbins; Europe: Dr. W. O. Lewis.

A FAITH FOR THIS HOUR In these concluding sentences it may be well to consider the present-day world setting in which the Christian church must carry forward its “ unfinished evangelistic task.” The following statement emerging from one o f the sectional discussions at the meeting of the International Missionary Council in Madras last December offers a challenge to Northern Baptists:

The Church must either make its impact upon the secular world of today and win it for Christ, or the secular world will increasingly encroach upon the spiritual life of the Church, blunting its witness and dimming its vision. There is, therefore, in this summons a note of urgency and insistence. W e live in perilous days and the Church cannot stand still; it dare not retreat, yet advance is only possible as the whole Church unites in a new Fellowship o f the Spirit to evangelize the world.

Do Baptists have a faith which matches this hour?

FINANCIAL REVIEW OF THE YEAR

FINANCIAL REVIEW OF THE YEAR

OUTCOME OF THE YEAR The outcome of the fiscal year, ending April 30, 1939, gives encouragement. For the first time since April 30, 1931, the Board is able to report that the current budget shows an excess of Income over Budget Appropriations. The excess amounts to $30,217.59. This amount together with items totaling $28,134.67 more fully explained in the following paragraphs has reduced the deficiency of income which stood on May 1, 1938, at $200,832.02 to $142,479.76.

DEFICIENCY OF INCOME ACCOUNT At the beginning of the year the deficiency of income amounted to $200,832.02. During the year this was reduced by the fol­ lowing items :

An unusual credit from the matured special gift agreement reserve, released just prior to the close of the fiscal year ...... $20,000.00 Net savings in previous budgets...... 7,909.21 Net adjustments of contributions applicable to prior years ...... 225.46

$28,134.67

As a result o f these reductions together with the credit of $30,217.59 from the year just closed, the accumulated deficiency o f income on April 30, 1939, is $142,479.76.

SUMMARY OF INCOME AND BUDGET APPROPRIATIONS The receipts on account of the regular budget from sources other than donations were $401,601.32 and from donations $487,652.58, making a total of $889,253.90. The actual expenditures and ap­ propriations amounted to $859,036.31, a total well within the authorized spending budget of $885,000. This favorable situa­ tion is due mainly to exchange credits of $18,000 (see page 56) and savings on the contingent fund. The result is an excess of income on the current budget of $30,217.59. 53 54 AMERICAN BAPTIST FOREIGN MISSION SOCIETY

RECEIPTS

Income from Sources Outside Donations Income from sources other than donations amounted to $401,601.32 as compared with $424,153.93 in 1937-1938, a de­ crease of $22,552.61. Income from the investments o f perma­ nent funds was $279,303.34 or $24,794.10 less than the receipts for 1937-1938. This decrease was due almost entirely to the omitting of dividends on securities held as investments of re­ stricted funds. The amounts transferred from the matured special gift agreements and legacy reserves and the miscellaneous receipts were substantially the same as last year. The actual receipts of $401,601.32 correspond very closely with the budget estimates of $400,000.

Donations— Gifts from Churches and Individuals The donation receipts, while not aggregating the amount allotted in the Unified Budget of $524,850, do give encouragement in that they exceeded the receipts of the preceding year by $35,450.91, reaching a total of $487,652.58. Gifts forwarded directly to the Treasury Department were $48,449.66, an in­ crease of $13,003.57 over those of the preceding year. Contribu­ tions received through the Council on Finance and Promotion showed an increase of $23,654.96, making a total for the year of $440,410.54. The undesignated and designated receipts as compared with last year are shown below :

1939 1938 Increase Undesignated $278,195.22 $255,640.68 $22,554.54 Designated 209,457.36 196,560.99 12,896.37

$487,652.58 $452,201.67 $35,450.91

The- increase o f $35,450.91 in the Society’s donation receipts is accounted for almost entirely in the receipts of the final month of the fiscal year. The receipts reported by the Council on Finance and Promotion from May 1, 1938, through April 1, 1939, were each month almost the same as those of the preceding FINANCIAL REVIEW OF THE YEAR 55 year. It would appear that the donation receipts must have in­ creased substantially between April 1 and April 30. An analysis of the donation increase as related directly to the Society shows the following': First, that it participated in -the increased giving of the denomi­ nation as evidenced by the increase in undesignated receipts of $22,554.54. Second, an increased amount of undesignated money was available for distribution as a result of the reduc­ tion of the Budget of the Council on Finance and Promotion. Third, the Society benefited by the slightly increased percentage received from the $20,000 added to its budget by the Finance Committee of the Northern Baptist Convention, which amount they have not as yet found it possible to continue for another year. Fourth, that many of the Society’s friends, realizing its serious financial situation and the burden the reduced budget was placing on missionaries and nationals made generous gifts directly to it, which show in the increased designated gifts of $12,896.37.

BUDGET APPROPRIATIONS The budget appropriations and expenditures by rigid economy and exchange savings amount to $859,036.31, a saving of $25,963.69 on the authorized spending budget of $885,000. The total foreign field appropriations for 1938-1939 were $733,841.65 as compared with $764,775.09 in 1937-1938. The appropriations for missionary salaries and passages amounted to $405,897.06 as compared with $446,199.32 for 1937-1938. The saving of $40,302.26 is partially explained by the fact that the active missionaries are reduced from 380 last year to 360 this year, a net loss of 20 missionaries, and also that fewer mission­ aries were on furlough, thus reducing the item for passage cost. Two families and three single missionaries were sent to the field to fill some of the most urgent places. Appropriations made in foreign currencies were figured at approximately the current rates of exchange at the time the budget was prepared. Dis­ turbed conditions in China and Japan and the slightly decreased cost of the rupee in Burma and India have made it possible for the Board to purchase the local currency needed to pay salaries and mission work appropriations for a lesser amount than was 56 AMERICAN BAPTIST FOREIGN MISSION SOCIETY possible at the time the budget was authorized. This has re­ sulted in an estimated saving in exchange of $18,000, which has been included in the budget. This saving in exchange, together with the balance of the contingent fund of $4,958.72 which was held unexpended in the face o f many urgent requests for appro­ priations from the fields, and with savings on the budget items for home expenditures o f $2,900.41, has enabled the Board to underspend the authorized budget o f $885,000. This saving in exchange accounts for $18,000 of the credit of $30,217.59 on the current budget, which has been applied on the debt, and is a major factor in the favorable outcome of the year just closed.

Home Expenditures The total home expenditures, exclusive of the item for interest, are $136,936.08, an amount almost the same as last year’s total of $136,547.99. Changes in the secretarial staff are referred to under the General Review. During the period in which plans for staff adjustments were being made, the Board has not found it practical to reduce home expenditures. A substantial reduction has been made, however, in this item in the 1939-1940 budget. The item o f home expenditures, in relation to the total budget expenditures, is really not a true picture, for it gives very little recognition to the cost o f administering the permanent, annuity and temporary funds, totaling almost $9,200,000, nor does the continued reduction of the foreign field expenditures necessarily indicate a corresponding decrease in the administrative problem and responsibilities. On the contrary, present conditions at home and abroad have very greatly increased the problems of and need for administration.

SPECIFIC BUDGET Receipts and expenditures on the specific budget amounted to $83,396.95, a decrease as compared with the total for 1937-1938 of $43,656.35. Designated temporary funds and the China Emergency Fund account for most of the decrease. For several years the Board has made available for the foreign field work the undesignated money resulting largely from sales of property and held temporarily in designated temporary funds. Last year’s FINANCIAL REVIEW OF THE YEAR 57

transfer practically exhausted this source of income. The China Emergency fund was successfully completed during the year. The total-amount received, April 30, for the benefit of the General and Woman's Boards amounted to $65,900.37. The major por­ tion o f the fund has been expended. The balance is being held for continuing relief needs and emergency expenses of mis­ sionaries of the two Boards.

INVESTMENT OF PERMANENT FUNDS The financial reviews of the last three years have set forth in considerable detail the perplexing problems involved in caring for the investments which cover the permanent, the annuity, and the designated temporary funds of the Society, and the measures adopted by the Finance Committee and its subcommittee on in­ vestments for the handling of these investments and the safe­ guarding of the funds represented by them. The Investment Committee has endeavored throughout the year to maintain a constant watchfulness over all securities held by the Society, re­ viewing in frequent meetings those securities in particular which have developed any market weakness. The problem of reinvesting money, available as the result of bonds being called by the issuing companies to be refinanced at a lower coupon rate, has increased during the past year. Money rates are the lowest they have been in 75 years. The Investment Committee recognizes that a 2>]/2% bond selling today at 110 might sell, on the basis of money rates alone, at 84, if the income return on invested funds should again return to the normal rate of the last 50 years of approximately 4 ^ % . How to guard against this possible loss of almost 25 points or $250 on each $1,000 bond is a problem facing every institution with an investment portfolio. The Investment Committee be­ lieves that it is necessary to keep a part of the Society’s funds in short term investments, and the balance wherever possible in spaced maturities so that some money will be available for rein­ vestment each year. It recognizes that this program will not entirely offset the decline in principal on these so-called low coupon bonds, but hopes that over a period of years it will partially offset this loss. Several studies are kept constantly 58 AMERICAN BAPTIST FOREIGN MISSION- SOCIETY

before the committee, a few of which are briefly summarized in* the following paragraphs. The relationship of book and market values on bonds of Railroad, Public Utility, and Industrial companies is expressed in percentage form for the last three years.

Per cent, of Per cent, of Per cent, of Book Value Book Value Book Value April 30, 1937 April 30,1938 April 30, 1939 Unrestricted Investments ----- 100.95 97.87 99.93 Restricted Investments . . . ____ 104.04 102.11 105.08 Annuity Investments ...... 97.87 94.96 97.15 All Bond Investments ...... 102.60 100.31 103.00

Detailed analysis of the book and market values shows that the only group of bonds on which the market values are less than the book values is the railroads. This is to be expected, when out of 147 Class 1 lines— those with operating revenues of over a million dollars a year— thirty-eight are in reorganiza­ tion or receivership. The total mileage in the hands of the courts is 30 per cent, of all rajjroad mileage and represents some 24 per cent, of all railroad capital. The quality of the Society’s investments is shown by the per­ centage o f Investments in Aaa and Aa and A grade bonds.

- 1936 1937 1938 1939 Unrestricted Investments ...... 92.75 92.65 93.70 92.73 Restricted Investments ...... 82.11 85.06 89.84 80.87 Annuity Investments ...... 89.18 84.83 87.07 80.63

Many of the Society’s bonds now rated Baa and lower had a higher rating at the time they were purchased; also many agen­ cies have adopted a more conservative policy in determining their ratings. For example, in June, 1938, M oody’s Investors Service reduced the ratings on all railroad bonds by one grade. This is largely due to a more conservative attitude toward railroad bonds under present economic conditions and accounts almost entirely for the lower percentage this year of bonds with an A rating or better in Restricted and Annuity Investments. All securities with a Baa rating, or less, are constantly reviewed by the committee. It is its policy to change to a higher grade as soon as this can be done without too great a loss of principal. FINANCIAL REVIEW OF THE YEAR 59

Mortgages and Real Estate The Foreign Mission Realty Corporation was organized on August 21, 1933, to take title to the properties which the Society found it necessary to foreclose; it holds title to all properties taken over by the Society either on foreclosure or by purchase of a deed to properties. The entire stock of the Foreign Mission Realty Corporation is held by the Society. The Corporation owns fifteen pieces of real estate with a book value of $210,276.39. Last year the properties earned approximately 1^4 per cent. They should carry themselves, and perhaps earn a similar amount during the coming year. All properties but one are rented. All properties are inspected at least twice a year and have recently been studied very carefully to ascertain whether there are any violations against them under the New York City. Multiple Dwelling Law, as this law imposes serious personal liabilities on Directors and Trustees of organizations with real estate in­ vestments. The 320-324 Court Street, Brooklyn, New York, property comes under this classification. Expenditures are being made to remove the violations as promptly as possible. The directors of the Corporation believe that the real estate should not be held as a permanent investment, but should be sold as soon as a fair price can be obtained. The mortgage investments of the Society on December 31, 1938, were eighty in number with a par value of $1,143,988.27 on which the average interest return was 4.71 per cent. If we add to this amount the earnings of the fifteen pieces of real estate, title to which is held by the Corporation, the five assign­ ments o f rents, and three mortgages under foreclosure the total of the principal amount is $1,466,267.57 on which income of $62,171.99, or a return of 4.24 per cent, on all mortgages, real estate and properties held under assignment and foreclosure, was received during the past calendar year. On the eighty mortgages there is none with interest arrears of six months or m ore; and except for two mortgages there are no tax arrears of six months or more. 6 0 AMERICAN BAPTIST FOREIGN MISSION SOCIETY

CHANGES IN PERMANENT FUNDS Permanent funds held by the Society, including Reserves for Possible Losses on Investment, showed an increase during the year of $41,751.24, making a total on April 30, 1939, of $7,663,359.06. A list of newly established funds and additions to existing funds follows:

A complete list of the permanent funds of the Society will be found on subsequent pages of the Treasurer’s report.

RESERVE FOR SPECIAL GIFT AGREEMENTS The Society maintains a reserve, fully adequate under the laws of the State of New York, for the payment of the life annuities guaranteed under all existing agreements. The reserve at the beginning of the year was $1,259,790.31 to which has been added the 52 new gifts amounting to $91,502.52. The new agreements issued show a substantial increase over last year. The Reserve has been credited with investment income to the amount of $46,856.68. Matured annuities and net adjustments have with­ drawn $54,742.54 from the Reserve, and payments to annuitants amounting to $118,886.79 have been charged to the Reserve. As a net result of the transactions of the year/ the Reserve stands at $1,223,124.30 on April 30, 1939. FINANCIAL REVIEW OF THE YEAR 61

BANK BORROWINGS AND FIVE-YEAR PROGRAM A very complete review of the Five-Year Program was given in last year’s report. This expressed the hope that the Budget for 1939-1940 and 1940-1941 could be kept at $850,000. The indi­ cated financial results during the early part of the year together with bank loans of $250,000, necessitated the revision of the Budget for 1939-1940. (See General Review Budget 1939-1940.) The amount of the bank borrowings should not be confused with the accumulated debt. The loans from the bank are usually increased during the early part of the fiscal year, when church contributions are light, to provide cash for operating expenses. Immediately after the close of the year, in early May, the bank loans are reduced to approximately the amount of the accumu­ lated debt. An excellent start has been made on the elimination of the accumulated deficiency of income which stood on May 1, 1938, at $200,832.02 by its reduction on April 30, 1939, to $142,479.76. It will be necessary, however, to make a further substantial re­ duction in the debt next year as the original Five-Year Program calls for the Society to be out of debt in 1940-1941.

RECEIPTS FROM LEGACIES The total receipts from legacies during the year was $81,825.31, of which $51,442.76 was designated for permanent funds and other purposes and $30,382.55 was undesignated. The latter amount is below the average receipts for the last three years. There was transferred to budget income the amount of $50,000. This resulted in a reduction of the reserve which stood at $135,475.88 on April 30, 1939. Among the larger legacies received during the year are the following:

U ndesignated Minnie V. Reid $2,432.01 Lydia A. MacDougal .... $1,189.28 Hannah Maryatt 2,409.26 Nellie Chapman 1,590.46 Amelia J. Spacht 4,000.00 Mattie J. Barton 1,000.00 James Taylor .. 3,896.12 Anna E. Enders 999.00 62 AMERICAN BAPTIST FOREIGN MISSION SOCIETY

MATURED SPECIAL GIFT AGREEMENTS Matured special gift agreements amounted to $52,472.70 of which $1,360.25 was designated and the balance undesignated. The undesignated maturities were far below the average during the early part of the fiscal year. One agreement in particular having a matured value of $31,129.49 greatly aided the Board and made it possible to transfer an extra $20,000 to the deficit account. The matured special gift agreement reserve at the be­ ginning of the year was $62,965.19. It was increased by matured agreements and reduced by $61,360.25 representing transfers to permanent funds, the current budget, and deficit account. The reserve on April 30, 1939, is $50,293.82, an amount sufficient to assure the average yearly transfer to next year’s budget.

Cash on hand was counted and balances in banks were confirmed by direct correspondence with the respective depositaries; securities owned were accounted for either by certified lists received from the custodians thereof or by inspection. The investments in bonds, stocks and mortgages (including mortgages and notes received with respect to properties held by the Foreign Mission Realty Corporation, the entire capital stock o f which is owned by the Society) are carried in the Society’s records at amounts which represent principally cost or values assigned thereto by the Society, which values do not exceed the estimated values at time o f acquisition. W e are informed that in the opinion of the Society’s Investment Committee sufficient pro­ vision has been made for possible losses on investments. The major portion of the foreign field appropriations is disbursed through mission treasurers in the field, who make quarterly reports to the Society’s home office. W e made a test review o f such reports to establish the receipt by such mission treasurers of the appropriation remittances to them as shown in the accounts at New York, but we did not examine the accounts kept by the mission treasurers in the foreign field. In our opinion, based upon such examination and subject to the foregoing explanations, the appended balance sheet, statement o f income and budget appropriations, and deficiency of income account set forth the position o f the Society at April 30, 1939, and its fiscal operations for the year then ended.

The program of the Northern Baptist Convention which con­ vened in Los Angeles, Calif., June 20-25, 1939, included sessions in which foreign mission work and problems were presented to ANNUAL MEETING 143 the Convention. For the purpose of recording all activities of the Society the proceedings in which the work o f the Society had a distinctive part are incorporated in these records. Rev. William Axling, for nearly forty years a missionary in Japan, had arrived in San Francisco for a brief furlough just prior to the Convention. On Wednesday evening, June 21, he addressed the Convention on “ The Church of Christ in Japan.” The hour and a quarter allotted to the two foreign mission societies on Thursday forenoon, June 22, was given over to a report of the Madras Conference. Foreign Secretary J. W. Decker spoke on “The Madras Conference and the Asiatic Fields." He described the severe losses in missionary personnel during the past ten years and the disastrous effect upon work and workers, and he appealed for stronger support in view of the tragic conditions faced on many of the fields. Associate Secre­ tary J. R. Wilson spoke on “The Madras Conference and the Home Churches,” emphasizing four imperatives which Madras had given: (1 ) a oneness with the Christian world community, (2 ) freedom o f thought and action against every adverse influ­ ence, (3 ) a new awareness of the uniqueness o f our message; and (4 ) the urgency of presenting it. Foreign Secretary J. W. Decker conducted a mission study class on Friday morning, June 23, using two study books, Through Tragedy to Triumph and Women and the Way. Home Secretary P. H. J. Lerrigo was one of the speakers at the banquet held by the National Council of Northern Baptist Men, Friday evening. Associate Secretary J. R. Wilson conducted a mission study class on Saturday morning, June 24, using the study book, Comrades Around the World. A joint commission service for newly appointed missionaries was conducted by the home and foreign mission societies on Saturday evening. Secretary D. M. Albaugh stated that Rev. and Mrs. William Carey Thomas and Miss Frances M. Ryer had been appointed since the last annual meeting of the Society and had already sailed to the mission field. He then introduced Mr. and Mrs. Charles R. Horton who are going to the Pyinmana Agricultural School in Burma, and Rev. and Mrs. Franklin O. 144 AMERICAN BAPTIST FOREIGN MISSION SOCIETY

Nelson who have been designated to work in the Chin Hills, Burma. Mr. Horton and Mr. Nelson each spoke briefly regard­ ing their plans for missionary service. The prayer of dedication was offered by Rev. W. S. Abernethy, D.D., of Washington, D. C. The Sunday afternoon session was announced as “Youth Emphasis Meeting.” Rev. E. H. Clayton, of East China, who had been in Hangchow during the Japanese occupation, addressed the Convention on “The Church in War-Torn China.” He described the service to Chinese refugees, stating that with the aid of American gifts four hundred thousand refugees had been cared for in the Japanese-occupied areas.
