AMOY Educational W o r k Girls? Primary School— Miss Duryee reports: Another year has rolled round and we again thank Go d for His great goodness to us. The School does not lack pupils. They fill every available seat in the school-rooms and at recess time on every spot of level ground is an animated group of little or big girls. Out of a class of forty- six girls, forty-two were given their diplomas in June. Sixteen have come back to our High School for further study, four are teaching

* On furlough, t In America. 10 Woman's Board of Foreign Missions in our Lower Primary School, five are teaching in Church schools and nine have gone to other places for further study. W e had an en­ rollment of four hundred and fifty-six the first term and of four hundred and forty-one the second term. The Staff has consisted of three m e n and eighteen women, the latter all former pupils of the school and all Christians. Six are graduates of the High School. Miss Beekman has given her whole time to the school and Mrs. D a y has taught singing to the higher classes. A Student Self-Government. Association was started this last year, in connection with which monthly meetings were held and conducted by the girls themselves. The girls hold a prayer-meeting every Fri­ day and Sunday evening, and in listening to their talks and stories and prayers one feels that they do really kn ow the truth and that m a n y of them are illustrating it in their daily lives. One bright and attractive girl, the President of her class, has given up gambling! Another, the daughter of a wealthy merchant living in Java, has ob­ tained her father’s consent to her joining the Church. At Christmas time the Higher Primary girls held a Christmas service in the Tek- chhiu-kha Church, when they distributed gifts and cakes and oranges to the nearly two hundred w o m e n and children who had received in­ vitations to the service. The Sewing Guild boxes helped very m a ­ terially in providing for these gifts, but the girls themselves expended quite a large sum of money which they donated from their own pockets. The Lower Primary children, fired by the example of the older girls, raised a sum of money with which to buy cloth for some poor children who came to the school for the presentation. In September quite a large sum of money was raised and sent to Japan for the relief of the Earthquake sufferers. In the summer there were m a n y volunteers from the school to teach in the Vacation Bible Schools, and at the meeting in the autumn, when the reports were brought in, we found that fourteen of these Vacation Bible Schools had been held with two hundred and sixty- eight pupils in attendance and with twenty of our school girls acting as teachers. In this willingness to serve others and in yielding the individual life to Jesus Christ the highest aims of the School are being more and more realized. GirU? High School— Miss Duryee writes: W e are three and a half years old no w and we are growing. There were sixty names on our roll this last term. In June we graduated a class of five, girls, one of w h o m went to Foochow for further study while the other four remained to teach in our Higher Primary School. Our class and dormitory rooms have been taxed to the utmost. W e have happily been able to keep the same Staff of Chinese teachers, while Miss Beekman has taught English, Mrs. D a y Singing and Miss Duryee Bible, English and Drawing. There are now ten girls of rather ex­ ceptional ability in the highest class, all but two of w h o m come from Christian families and are Church members. The other two come from heathen homes. One of them has attended the school as a day pupil ever since she was a child; the other was already grown before she entered the school. Will not all who read this report pray very especially that these two young women may in this coming term, their last with us, definitely give their hearts to Christ t The regular school curriculum is full and the time of the girls is fully occupied with lessons. O n Sunday afternoons about a dozen of the girls teach in the Lower Primary Sunday School which meets in the school building. More than a hundred Mexican dollars was given by the pupils and teachers of the two Girls’ Schools to the Christian sufferers in the Japanese Earthquake. The money was sent to our Missionaries in Japan, who gave it to the Ferris Seminary sufferers. The girls very successfully carried through a Christmas service in the chapel at Phai-baw, a village three or four miles from Amoy. Committees were appointed, money was collected and everything was made ready. O n Christmas day we started off directly after break­ fast. The Chinese flag and the school flag, a white star on a blue background, were carried in front and we made quite a procession to the jetty where we took small row boats to Amoy. Here the pro­ cession formed again and marched for a mile or so through the nar­ row streets until we came to the new country road that is being built to connect A m o y city with the other end of A m o y island. W e reached the chapel about half past ten o’clock and were taken by the pastor to see a native vermicelli factory and a rope factory which were a curious contrast to each other, the one using a rude hand­ worked press and the other the most modern machinery. The Christ­ mas tree was a banyan instead of a fir, but it justified the exclama­ tion of a little boy who cried out:— “Oh, what a pretty tree!” Dolls, towels, etc. from the Sewing-Guild boxes, tiny bags of cheap candy, little mandarin oranges and the regular Christmas tree ornaments, besides the pieces of cloth which the girls had bought to give to the poorer children, made the tree look gay indeed. Dinner was pre­ pared for us at the chapel, which was filled to overflowing with the w o m e n and children who came from far and near. After some sing­ ing and the general addresses the girls scattered themselves through the audience and each spoke to a little group of w o m e n and children. It was a very interesting and impressive sight. M a y I re-emphasize our great need of larger buildings, a need which has been mentioned in former reports? W e are very grateful to the W o m a n ’s Board for the promise to try to raise the necessary money to equip the school with the adequate buildings without which the school cannot grow. Our aim is to build up a High School for Chinese girls where the teaching will be Christian and where the pupils will be fitted for usefulness in the Church and the world. To accomplish this we must have your support, your gifts and your prayers. W e most earnestly beg you not to fail us. Charlotte Duryee Bible School.— Miss K. M. Talmage reports: The school has had a prosperous year and we have seen the good hand of the Lord working with us and for us. Many who were with us last year could not return, but m a n y new ones have taken their places. M a ny have come from heathen homes and have shown great interest in learning what it is to be a Christian. During the summer 12 IVoman’s Board of Foreign Missions ■ holidays w e built a two-story addition to the school, giving us a large, airy bedroom upstairs and a fine large class-room downstairs. These rooms have given us all great satisfaction. During the year Miss Ovenden of the London Mission has given much time to the higher classes, teaching Old Testament History, Arithmetic and Music. Miss Macgregor of the English Presbyterian Mission has had a class in Stalker’s “Trial and Death of Jesus Christ.” One of the Chinese pastors has come to the school once a week to take morning prayers and hold a Bible class. The w o m e n have also had short courses in Astronomy and Physiology. So me of the w o m e n are being trained as Bible women. One day each week w e have a special Evangelistic talk for the new pupils, as m a n y of them when they come to us have no knowl­ edge of Christ. The talks are very simple, Bible pictures are shown and efforts are made to create a desire to kn ow Christ and His love and His power to save from sin. These talks are much enjoyed and the pictures are looked at with interest. The w o m e n have various motives for coming to the school. M a n y come because they have trouble at home from which they wish to escape, and m a n y come because of sorrow. One young w o m a n came because she had lost her husband and could not be comforted. Her relatives, thinking that study might divert her mind, sent her to a non- Christian school where a Christian teacher, seeing her grief, advised her to come to our W o m e n ’s School. At first she would neither study nor eat, but the kindness she received from the w o m e n soon set her to studying in earnest, and when she went home for a few days she brought back with her another young wo m a n wh o was in great trouble because her family was determined to sell her. Both are no w hap­ pily walking in the Christian Wa y. Another w o m a n who had lost her husband and her three children, one after another, was persuaded to come to us instead of going into a Buddhist nunnery and she is now, w e trust, a true Christian. One of our w o m e n remarked the other day: “The hospital is a place for healing the body, but the W o m e n ’s School is the hospital of the soul”. May it indeed be the place where the blind are taught to see, the lame to walk, the deaf to hear and where the poor have the Gospel preached to them. The Children’s H o m e — Miss M. E. Talmage reports: At present the children connected with the Home, including those who are helped outside and those who are teaching, number twenty-eight. W e are trying to lead each one of these to the Saviour, so that H e m a y lay His hand on each one of them and say, as H e said of children of old, “Of such is the Ki ngdom of Heaven”. ' Of the H o m e children it m a y be said, as of children all over the world, some of them are good and some of them are naughty! Shall I tell you of some of the naughty ones? Pl um Blossom and Peaceful Heart, wh o from their names ought to be good, conceived the idea of playing truant from school because for some misdemeanor the matron had punished1 them. So they went to the beach to play. Plum Blossom said, “Let's drown ourselves and then she’ll be sorry.” But Peaceful Heart, who found life, after all, too sweet to abandon, would not agree to the plan. So they collected all their clothes and belongings, packed them away in two old flour bags and hidthem on the side of a hill, preparing to run away. Their plans were dis­ covered and, as it seemed best to separate the children for a time. Plum Blossom was sent up to Sio-khe to be with Miss V a n der Lin­ den. Here she seems to have experienced a change of heart if one m a y judge by the following letter which she herself writes: “M y heart greatly thanks you for all your kindness to me. It is more than I can express. Is your precious body well? I a m very happy here. Are all the children well in the H o m e ? M y heart is always thinking about them. Are A-chiong’s eyes better? Is Sarah quite well again? M a y the Lord be with us all. Amen.” This little Pl um Blossom was once a slave child belonging to an old w o m a n who often treated her very cruelly. Once she washung up to the ceiling by a rope which was tied to her hands. Therope was first twisted and then allowed to untwist, making poor little Plum Blossom whirl around in the air. The w o m a n was a great g a m ­ bler and when she lost money would vent her rage on the child. Plum Blossom has been in the H o m e two and a half years no w and she and Peaceful Heart are going on with their work much as if they were always good. Can any one wonder that they sometimes take a turn at being naughty themselves? Will not every boy and girl in the Dutch Church show their gratitude for a happy home and kind parents by helping to enlarge the H o m e in China which is trying to save these little Chinese waifs ?> Evangelistic W o r k Miss K. M. Talmage reports: W e have had six Bible W o m e n on our list for the past year. In September one of them, Mrs. Chu, was transferred to Tong-an to take charge of the W o m e n ’s School there, the former matron and teacher having resigned on account of ill- health. W e were exceedingly sorry to lose Mrs. Chu, as she is a very earnest Christian and a very conscientious worker. The need in the Tong-an W o m e n ’s School was very pressing, however, and she was allowed to go. M!rs. Hai-tong, another Bible W o m a n , who has been working for ten years in the city of Amoy, resigned, saying that she did not wish to be paid a salary any longer as she was no w able to take care of herself, but that she would still continue her work as before in con­ nection with the First Church of Amoy. Though there are not m a n y Bible W o m e n paid by the Mission, there are several others doing that work, some paid by the native Church and some working without pay as they have opportunity. T w o of our Bible W o m e n have been in the work for more than ten years. The Churches are all very glad to have their help in the work and their efforts are much appreciated. Medical Work ■ N o report of special medical work for w o m e n and children has come to us during the year under review, but we know from the re­ port that has come to Synod’s Board that Miss Murman, an efficient obstetrician, has kept up her work in Wilhelmina Hospital throughout the year and that she has given help and advice unstintedly to about eighty dear little babies and their grateful mothers. Miss Nienhuis has remained at her post in H o p e Hospital and her presence has been a steadying influence in the midst of m a n y readjustments.

SIO-KHE Educational W o r k GirW School— Miss V a n der Linden reports: The Sio-khe Girls’ School has had a good year though the enrollment has been smaller than usual, with fifty-seven in the spring and fifty-four in the autumn term. There are two reasons for this drop in the numbers. In the first place the fees were increased, and in the Sio-khe region educa­ tion for girls and w o m e n is still so little appreciated that parents would rather allow their girls to grow up in ignorance than pay their school fees and buy their books. In the second place the political unrest has made it unsafe for girls and w o m e n to travel. F r o m February until the end of the summer the district was greatly dis­ turbed by troops passing through. In March and again in Septem­ ber the opening of school had to be postponed, and when it did open half the boarders dared not leave their homes. Early in the year we were able to carry out our long-cherished plans for the Out-door Drill Court mentioned in our former reports. At the same time important repairs and improvements were made on the kitchen and out-buildings and a window was built in one of the dormitories. All were completed in March and we have rejoiced in these additions and improvements. , Christmas was a happy time in the school. For the first time we had a real Christmas tree, and the suppressed excitement during the preparations and the exclamations of surprise and delight were sufficient evidence that it was thoroughly appreciated. W e are so grateful to the Tarrytown Torch Trimmers for sending tinsel and or­ naments in the Guild box, for we had almost nothing else to trim the tree. Last spring one of our day pupils died of plague. W e are thank­ ful to have had very little illness during the year, however, and ex­ cept for the disturbance caused by the soldiers, the school work has gone forward unhindered, the students making excellent progress. W e have had six little boys as day pupils during the year, all from Christian families. One little fellow was the despair of his parents, who found him unmanageable. They were very grateful when we promised to give him a trial and still more so when the influence of the school began to change his whole temper and conduct. T w o of our oldest girls have been received into Church membership recently. It is impossible in a report like this to give an adequate idea of what a Mission school means to the Church and the community here. The boarders, living as a happy Christian family under the care and •instruction of earnest consecrated Christian teachers, learn far more than the curriculum prescribes and they get a vision of G o d ’s King­ d o m which they could receive nowhere else. Our school girls are the leaven that is changing Chinese family life. Help them with your prayers. • Women’s Sc/mol— Miss V a n der Linden writes: The W o m e n ’s School suffered even more from the warfare in the district than the Girls’ School, for not only were m a n y w o m e n hindered from coming to study, but the building was occupied by soldiers during the sum­ mer. They left much filth and m a n y old broken beds but no kitchen utensils. T w o school beds had been burned for fuel and some of the bedding and furnishings were missing, but since fewer students came, we were able to manage, though next year we shall have to buy new furniture. There were more than thirty different w o m e n in school during the year. Although Auntie Ho rn is getting rather feeble, she is still the matron and teacher because we have been unable to find a suitable w o m a n to take her place. Twice during the year she suffered from severe illness, but Go d spared her for further service. Four w o m e n have been received into the Church and seven or eight others are to be received soon. Without exception all have made good progress. There has been a fine spirit among the women, and the older ones have done much to help the new arrivals. Some of them have given part time for evangelistic work in the villages, going with the Bible W o m e n and the Missionary to the out-stations. T w o are anxious to become Bible W o m e n and one is to begin work at the end of the year. The school property has been improved with a new open kitchen. Because of a broken down, smoking chimney, it was necessary to make some repairs and by slightly enlarging and much renovating we were able to convert the disreputable old kitchen into a clean little dining room,' the w o m e n themselves doing most of the cleaning and even carrying away the debris and unused stones. The advanced class carried a heavy programme and worked very hard. They studied the catechism, Old Testament History, John’s Gospel, some of Paul’s Epistles, Pilgrim’s Progress and lessons in Hygiene and Physiology. They also had lessons in letter-writing and composition and in Arithmetic, besides memorizing m a n y long por­ tions of Scripture. W h e n we remember that some of these “sisters” were ignorant heathen w o m e n only three or four years ago, we real­ ize how phenomenal their progress is. Evangelistic W o r k Miss V a n der Linden writes that while the evangelistic work throughout the district has been intensive rather than extensive, yet two hundred and fifty villages have heard the Gospel message during the year and that m a n y of these have been visited m a n y times. Six out-stations have had the Missionary and the Bible W o m e n for pe­ riods of several days at a time. The two Bible W o m e n continue their faithful work. Every morn­ ing after the chapel service in the W o m e n ’s School, they start out with their book bags in their hands and the love message in their hearts and on their lips. One goes first to teach the w o m e n patients in the hospital. O n definite days they go to teach certain w o me n who are learning to read, and often they go off together to distant villages, frequently spending the whole day and sometimes two or three days at a place. O n account of the lack of workers the weekly children's meetings have not been continued regularly. During the spring Miss Bruce and Mrs. Lee took charge of the meeting in Sio-khe, but in M a y soldiers took up their residence in the house and the children's meet­ ings had to be discontinued. For lack of a proper leader the hospital meeting has not been very successful, but no w Mrs. Hofstra is try­ ing to reorganize it. There are always plenty of children and there are always crowds of w o m e n eager to hear the message we have to tell, but where are the messengers? We are praying for more mes­ sengers to come over and help us.

CHIANG-CHIU Educational W o r k Girls* School— Miss Bruce reports: The number of boarding pupils in the school the past year was sixty-two, the day pupils ninety-six, making a total of one hundred and fifty-eight. There were fifteen pupils in the graduating class and twenty-five villages were rep­ resented in the school. The Staff consisted of nine full-time teachers and three part-time teachers, all of w h o m have carried on in a most efficient and faithful wa y during Miss Morrison's absence, showing loyalty and a true spirit of service. There were fewer students in the autumn owing to the disturbed condition of the country and the moving of troops. M a n y families were robbed by the soldiers of clothing, food, crops and money and it was impossible to send their children to school. W e feel that we have done well to have one hundred and fifteen on the rolls this fall. The high cost of living made it necessary to raise the boarding fees, yet we have taken in more fees than ever before, which speaks well for the city of Chiang-chiu. The extensive repairs on the Girls' School were completed last spring and the school is in good running order. The sleeping rooms have been screened with the new copper wire sent out from home; so we hope our girls will be free from malaria hereafter. N e w dining-room tables have been bought, as it was impossible to use the old ones any longer. The mountain of dirt is at last being cleared from the school yard. Are we really at last going to have a playground? Our hearts are more than thankful for all these improvements and we trust the school will be of even greater service because of them. W e have been fortunate this term in having Dr. Holleman in Chiang-chiu for a few weeks. H e has inspected the entire school and finds the scholars in good physical condition. Those who have trachoma are receiving special treatment from Miss Mathiesen. W e are very thankful to have a nurse in the station. . The Christian Endeavor Society is a live force in the school and the teachers and pupils take a great interest in the meetings. The attendance is voluntary and each week we have the room full, the pupils and teachers taking turns - in leading the meetings. Each morning the girls are required to attend chapel and once a week the pastor of the Church takes the service, while on other mornings the teachers and I take our turns. One-half of our pupils this year are from Christian homes. All of our regular full-time teachers are Church members and consecrated Christians. Sunday evenings Miss Mathiesen and I spend with our girls out on the lawn, singing hymns and talking with them as friend to friend. W e all love our Sunday nights together and as the time draws near for the singing, the children are scattered over the lawn waiting for us. H o w happy they are when we appear with books, blankets and sometimes the mandolin! Last Sunday night the pastor and his wife, who heard us, applauded every number. S o me how these Sunday nights with the girls remind us of Round Top at Northfleld. I a m sure the girls will never forget our Sunday nights together. The schools have had three picnics this term, one a sightseeing trip. M a n y of the up-country girls and some of the teachers were very anxious to see the places of interest in the N e w City, so we spent an afternoon showing them around. They came home exhausted, but with enough things to talk and think about to last for a long time. It was also a good advertisement for the school to have the people see what a fine group of scholars we have. A long line of girls wearing their school uniforms and carrying the flag of China and the school flag made no little impression as they marched along the street. Kindergarten— Visitors greatly enjoy seeing the Kindergarten and are always eager to see the children play, for they kn ow sol m a n y games and have so evidently the real spirit of play that it is a delight to watch them. The thing that impresses m e most whenever I go to the Kindergarten is that our children in America have much more to be thankful for than they realize. H o w differently they act and look from the little children in China! At Christmas time the Kindergarten gave an entertainment to about seventy-five proud mothers and relatives. The children enjoyed their tree and were greatly pleased with the dolls that they received from the Guild boxes. Even the boys wanted dolls above everything else. The Lower and Higher Primary girls also had a Christmas enter­ tainment. The large room was crowded with w o m e n and children. There was a play entitled “The Three Gifts,” into the spirit of which the girls entered beautifully. One of the teachers read “The Other Wise Man,” by Henry Van Dyke, which had been translated into Chinese. Mr. and Mrs. Veenschoten, Miss Mathiesen, Dr. Holleman and I sang “Hark, hark, m y soul,” and the different classes gave special music. Presents from the Guild box were distributed to all the girls and the graduating girls were the happiest of all, for we gave them the sleeping dolls. There were just enough to go around. There were not enough dolls to give each child in the school one, and at first I thought that the youngest children should get the dolls, and the older girls something else, but the head teacher pleaded to give the oldest girls the dolls, saying they would probably never have another opportunity as long as they lived to get a doll, whereas the younger children might be the fortunate ones another year. So we gave our graduating girls the prettiest dolls of all and I a m sure they were the happiest girls in all China. Evangelistic Work Miss Bruce writes: Miss Morrison went home on furlough last spring and the Mission appointed m e to take her place while she is absent from the field. I came only two months ago to Chiang-chiu and I find that there is a big work to be done and a glorious oppor­ tunity for service. Chiang-chiu is the progressive city of Fukien Province. All things are being made new here. One sees changes every day. Wide streets, automobiles, large bridges, up-to-date build­ ings and a city park all speak with a loud voice of progress. W e are thankful to say that, with all the material advancement, the Churches are growing and that their influence is extending all over the city. They have earnest, consecrated pastors— Live Wires— who are doing a large work. Last week the corner-stone was laid for our new Church. The parsonage is already completed. The Church has a very fine location and will have a seating capacity of about twelve hundred. Services are being held now in an old heathen temple, which is too small to accommodate all the people, so the girls have a special service in the school. W e are looking forward to the time when we can all worship together in our new, up-to-date Church. In this district there are fifteen Churches for us to oversee. These ought all to be visited as often as possible during the year, but so far I have been able to make only three visits to out-stations. O n Christmas Sunday I visited the chapel at Sin-tng, taking with me the preacher’s daughter who is a student in our Girls’ School. All were delighted to see us and to receive the pretty postal cards which we distributed. W e sang four Christmas carols and were happy in giving joy to m a n y hearts. The three Bible W o m e n are daily going about doing good. One of them spends most of her time working here in the city among the Church women, teaching them the hymns and to read the Bible and preaching wherever she has the opportunity. One day in each week' we go calling together and I always come home feeling that it has been an inspiration to be with her. Last month we called on over thirty families. The other two Bible W o m e n work for weeks at a time in the different up-country stations. They take the Gospel to countless poor, shut-in, heathen w o m e n who never have an opportunity to go and hear the Gospel. This work our faithful Bible W o m e n do all the year round. TONG-AN Educational Work Girls’ School— Miss Holkeboer reports: Owing to the disturbed state of the country and to the increase in the number of Government Girls’ Schools, our enrollment shows a decrease from last year, forty-eight attending in the spring term and fifty-seven in the fall term. Nevertheless we feel that we have made progress in various ways which we hope will in time increase our attendance. During the year much has been done to improve the interior of our school building. The walls, in both classrooms and sleeping quarters, which were gray and dingy from long neglect due to lack of funds, were given a double coating of color-wash. This was made possible by special gifts. Just at this opportune time friends in America sent out some beautiful pictures with which to adorn our walls. The woodwork had not been painted since the building was erected over twenty years ago and later in the year this too was given attention, so that we are highly pleased with our transformed quarters. Lack of funds made extensive repairs impossible, ho w ­ ever, badly as they were needed. T w o of our classrooms in the Annex cannot be used at all because the roof has fallen in; ma ny imperatively needed improvements must perforce be delayed, but we hope to bring about, little by little, the realization of all our plans. As most of our constituency belongs to the c o m m o n laboring class, it is hard for the parents to pay the fee required. A d d to this the fact that the majority have not yet reached the stage where they appreciate the need of education for girls and it is easy to under­ stand that m a n y girls would be denied the privilege of attending school if it were not for help from the Mission. W e are glad to say that this year has seen an increase of 25 per cent, in fees paid. Several changes have been made in the courses of study. The teaching of Mandarin has been introduced in the three highest classes, a special teacher giving seven hours a week to this work. English is being taught to the graduating class. Five of our six graduates are continuing their studies in Amoy. One of our most serious problems is ho w to combat malaria. Last year every child in the school was down with it at one time or another, often eight or ten at the same time. While our dormi­ tories are screened and we take every possible precaution, most of the children do not have proper protection in their homes, so that when they come to school they are already infected with the germ and the disease develops after they have been in school a few weeks. It saps their energy and unfits them for study, so that m a n y drop out before the term ends. This year an experiment was tried which proved most successful. Those who had been the most subject to malaria the previous year were daily given a tonic containing quinine. Not one of these was ill during the course of the treatment and several look stronger and healthier than they have ever looked before. T w o days stand out as specially eventful— the closing day of school in June, when our auditorium was packed to its utmost capacity, and Christmas Day, when a deep impression was evidently made upon not only pupils and teachers, but upon outsiders as well. Aside from our devotional exercises in the morning and our daily Bible classes, we have a prayer-meeting each week for pupils and teachers. In order to make this service less mechanical we have divided the girls into three groups. Those below twelve years of age meet with Miss Zwemer. Those above twelve have a meeting conducted on the order of a Junior C. E. at home. Then we have a teachers’ meeting in which we discuss our various problems and seek the solution of them by prayer. Women's School— Miss Zwemer reports: Of the forty different w o m e n who have been in our school during the year, ten were practically heathen when they came. Of these, six have promised to forsake heathen practices and have learned to read and pray. The others in the school have all made satisfactory progress in their studies and conduct. One w o m a n has united with the Church during the year and another will be received at the next communion. W e hope to train five of our w o me n for definite Christian service and we are urging the others to do what they can to lead their relatives and neighbors to Christ. The five who are in the highest class take turns with the teacher and myself in leading the prayer-meetings and they go with us at least once a week to visit in homes or to help with the children’s meetings. Early in the year we started a Sunday school for w o m e n and children which has been steadily growing in interest and numbers. W e sometimes have as m a n y as eighty w o me n in attendance, while at least thirty children who do not attend school listen to a Bible story and learn to sing hymns. < Our Church building is no longer large enough to seat all who attend; so we have started a special service for children under ten years of age and we often have as m a n y as seventy children between the ages of two and ten years. The cards sent by friends at home have been a great help in these meetings. The w o m e n ’s prayer-meeting is held every Thursday afternoon with an attendance of about forty. At the beginning of the year we had six Bible Women, but in November one of them was called to higher service. These Bible W o m e n and the Missionaries have visited hundreds of homes in which the seed has been sown and we commend this work to all those at home who are “helping together by prayer for us."

LENG-NA Educational Work ' Girls' School— Mr. Poppen reports: The Leng-na Girls’ School has had another successful year in spite of m a n y handicaps. Miss Green, who had been in charge, left in May. A s one of the teachers failed to return in the fall, two of the older students have substituted part of the time and have done good work. Five of the students have come to A m o y to continue their studies, two of them entering the first year of the A m o y Girls' High School. The Leng-na School is still using an ancestral hall which, though quite large, is not well adapted to school purposes. Negotiations are no w in progress for a school site and we hope very soon to be able to start a new building. So far there is no other school for girls in the city and, with proper quarters, we shall probably have a large enrollment.

Thus ends the story of another year of work for w o m e n and children in China— another year of consecrated devotion on the part of our missionaries, in the face of discouragements and disappoint­ ments; another year of earnest and efficient service on the part of their native Christian helpers, in the face of needs and privations of which w e do not even conceive; another year of patient and per­ severing progress and achievement all along the line on the mission field, in the face of cuts and denials on the part of the Boards at home. Shall not we— the w o m e n of the Reformed Church— pray that during this coming year it m a y be truly said of each one of us, “She hath done what she could” ? H a r t E. A.

The first Arcot Mission Assembly was held in Vellore, January 2-4, 1924. Missionary delegates and Indian delegates were there from all Institutions and Churches in the Mission area. The work of the Board in India was passed over to this body of Missionaries and Indians combined, and hereafter all legislation will be with Indian approval as well as Missionary sanction. Various Boards were formed*

* On furlough, 1924. t Vellore Union Missionary Medical School. and the work of the w o m e n is to be under a “W o m a n ’s Council,” possibly later to be called a “W o m a n ’s Board.” This is a forward step in the evangelizing of India, and the work is to be done by Indians and Americans working side by side. Mrs. John Scudder, Dr. Ida Scudder and Miss Gertrude Dodd have returned to Vellore, Dr. Louisa Hart is again busy at the Mary Lott Lyles Hospital, Miss Charlotte Wyckoff has returned to her work at Ranipettai, and Mrs. Henry J. Scudder has been warmly welcomed by her friends in India. Miss Harriet Brumler, a nurse, has joined the ranks of the Mis­ sionaries, and with Mrs. Theodore Zwemer and Mrs. Cornelius Wierenga is busily studying the language. Miss M a ud e Scudder has become Mrs. Galen Scudder, and Miss Berg has been obliged to return to America because of ill health. As this report is being prepared the sad news has come of the death of Miss Annie E. Hancock. She, like her Master, “went about doing good,” and her m a n y friends, with sad hearts, thank God for her life of consecration and loving service.

VELLORE Evangelistic Work Women’s Social Service Society— Miss Hancock wrote that on December 14th and 15th a Sale was held for the benefit of the new building for the W o m e n ’s Social Service Society. The Collector’s wife had been asked to “open” the Sale, and in her few opening remarks she made known the fact that Government had granted the land for the Building. The 250 Rupees made at the Sale will be used to buy chairs for the Assembly Hall. The place was crowded; many came who had never been there before and knew nothing of the Society, so the Sale was a real advertisement. Several English ladies came, and they gave the use of the Club Band for an hour. The Sale was open to Christian as well as Hindu women, but many more Hindu women than Christians came. It is a real joy and pleasure that our Hindu sisters are so friendly and responsive to all our advances. Zenana Work— Mrs. Peter and the eleven Bible W o m e n have done most faithful and earnest work, and are always ready to help in any wa y they can. Central Jail— Mrs. Cornelius and Miss Hancock have visited the w o m e n prisoners once a week and have given them spiritual talks on Old and N e w Testament stories.

Educational Work Hindu GirW Schools— Miss M a ud e Scudder (now Mrs. Galen Scudder) reports that the work in the three schools has been going on in its steady, quiet way. The Circarmundy School, which suffered because of surrounding rival schools last year, has begun to take a new lease on life. W e have tried to make the course of study attractive by having English 24 Woman's Board of * Foreign Missions

and music introduced. The girl who teaches English passed the government examinations last year, and is doing splendid work, teaching English as it is taught in her A l m a Mater, the Girls’ High School at Ranipettai. The Arasamaram Street School takes the prize for good attend­ ance and good all around work. W e are glad to have established such a good footing in this locality, for it is from this part of Vellore we shall draw m a n y of our pupils for the new consolidated school which is to be connected with the new Social Center Club. The work at the Velapadi School has improved, the attendance continues fairly good, and we feel that we are at last beginning to have a little influence in this very bigoted and idol-bound co m ­ munity. Sunday schools are held regularly every Sunday in each of our* schools. The superintendents and teachers are voluntary workers. The children are keen on learning and come regularly to hear the stories of the “new swami” and to carry away with them the card which they receive for learning Bible verses. M a n y at first come out of curiosity but they come the second time because they are interested. Our prayer is that this interest may develop into something more, and that Christ will reign in the heart of each and every one of His people.

Medical Work Miss Houghton reports: The nursing problem is still a difficult one in India; that is, the problem of getting girls of higher educa­ tion to study nursing. Only this year a Fourth F o r m girl was recommended by the Principal of one of the Girls’ Schools, but her father refused to consider it. Last year a girl from the same school was recommended; she came and was with us only a week; her grandfather said the “work was of too menial a character” and took her away. W e can get any number of primary and First and Second standard; we have to take the best of them, for the hospital is large and the patients must be taken care of. One of the best classes w e ever had was graduated this year. Three are staying on as Head-nurses; of the other three, one has been married, one is a Head-nurse in another Mission Hospital, and one is the Matron in the Madanapalle Girls’ High School. The people who live near and in Vellore are realizing more and more the value of trained nursing service. More than 1,600 calls have been made this year by the nurses, alone and with the doctors. I was speaking with a Brahmin lawyer, whose only son’s life was saved (we believe) by the careful nursing of two of our nurses, and he said, “Madam, the people of Vellore thank Go d m a n y times for your noble institution and for the doctors and nurses who are so ready to come to help us in our need.” That is only one of the m a n y tributes, and when we think of the difference in feeling of these high caste Hindus no w toward our Christian nurses and what it was fifteen years ago, we realize the progress that has been made. Four of our nurses have been married this year, one of w h o m is working in one of our weekly dispensaries. She has made her way into a number of the homes, started a Sunday school for the children, and is winning the confidence of the people in and around the village. Hospital Babies, Home— W e meet so m a n y forlorn little children in our daily work that we cannot help wishing they could all be housed and cared for as our o w n little orphans are. W e have had a number of additions this year and five children have been adopted into homes. Three of our boys are in the Arni Boarding School, one girl in Chittoor Boarding School and ten children attending day school in Vellore. That leaves eighteen children ranging in age from two to seven years. The oldest of these are taught simple lessons by the Matron and nurse and also hymns, Bible verses and lyrics. This year the girl who came home from Boarding School taught them m a n y of the Kindergarten games and plays. They learn very quickly, and it is amazing to listen to their repertoire. One little girl of five stands up and sings in English “Silent Night, Holy Night.” The older children help with the house work and in looking after the younger ones. M y favorite time for visiting the children is at the end of the day. They sing to m e and recite their Bible verses and we play until supper time. Supper is a most interesting occasion. A bell rings and they all form in line, the smallest ones leading the procession. They march to the back verandah where all hands are washed, then in groups of fours they go to the kitchen for their plates of rice and curry, and the smallest ones have bread and milk. These are carried back to their mats and placed on the floor, while the older girls bring mugs of water. They stand with folded arms until all are served, then grace is asked by one of the children and all sit do wn to eat, the little ones being fed by the older girls, who eat last. It is all done so quietly and orderly, even the smallest m a k ­ ing no difficulty at all. The day is finished and as I prepare to leave them, they crowd around to say “good night.” Softly and sweetly on the night air come the voices of the children as they sing to m e in English their good­ night song: “Good night to you now, and sweet m a y you sleep, M a y angels around you their loving watch keep; Good night, good night, good night.”

CHITTOOR Evangelistic Work ' Miss Conklin reports: A heartening feature of this year’s work has been the splendid development of leadership among our Christian women. The organization of the W o m e n ’s Evangelistic Council and its local sub-committees has been an important step forward. Through our o w n Pastorate and sub-committees the interests of our Christian w o m e n have been more closely associated with the interests of the 26 IVoman’s Board of Foreign Missions other Christian w o m e n who are the wives of local Christian officials, and with the w o m e n of our Christian villages. The reflex influence of this was especially felt at the time of the W o m e n ’s Conference at Chittoor, when the hearty co-operation of our Christian friends in Chittoor contributed so largely to the success^ of the Conference. Especially did the teachers and students of our Training School give us most unsparingly and tirelessly of their most valuable co-operation. The delegates to this Conference, in their ow n respective villages, are giving us splendid assurance of their enthusiastic assumption of the responsibilities which we have shared with them. Our Sunday schools have been stirred to new activity through the co-operation of the Christian Head-mistress of the Government M o h a m m e d a n Girls’ School, one of the teachers from the Boarding School, and some of the training students who have offered their help in carrying on the Hindu Sunday schools. W e have been able to divide the Sunday school into Tamil and Telugu sections and each section into small groups with an individual teacher, which has resulted in far greater interest and more far-reaching results. The Superintendent of the Tamil division has extended her interest in Hindu girls to those who are older, and is very eager to include more Hindu girls in the new Girl Guide C o m p a n y which she is planning to start in January. The Judge’s two daughters were most enthusias­ tic members of the Company, which held its very impressive investi­ ture a few weeks ago. W e have had new fellow-laborers. Hardly had our Assistant Collector’s charming wife been in India two months before she asked what part of m y work I could give her. She had already won the hearts of the Indian ladies by the charming way in which she presided at the Prize-giving, held in the local theatre-hall when the prizes were awarded to the successful participants in the “Arts and Crafts Handiwork Exhibition,” which we held for a week the latter part of last year. All too eager were they to respond to Mrs. Boulton’s infectious enthusiasm as she accepted the responsibilities of the hitherto desul­ tory work of our Red Cross Chapter, and all through the hot season they met every week and became such friends that theoretic hatred of Government gave place to real affection for “our Collector’s wife.” W h e n Dr. Hart stopped over a day in Chittoor, this friendship found expression in a new interest in the sufferers in Japan, and a most enthusiastic group of Hindu and Christian w o m e n gathered to hear from Dr. Hart about the earthquake and to discuss what they could do to send relief to the sufferers there. Our Hindu Judge’s wife, though she was not able to be present, headed the subscription list with her gift of ten rupees. The very most heartening thing in Chittoor work is the quickening spirit of friendliness of which we are most conscious among our Hindu women. Through the children who are studying in the Gridley School, through the plays and entertainments which are given in the school building, through our visits' in their homes, and their visits to our bungalow and the other compound, are these ties of friendship strengthened and extended. Educational Work Training School— Miss Berg reports that a very decided improve­ ment on the old condition of affairs was the opening of new hostels for the students. The original Girls’ Model School, a one-room building, had for m a n y years been used as a prayer hall for the weekly meetings. It has been turned back to the school, remodeled and partitioned into three fair-sized rooms with sleeping verandahs, and a small kitchen has been built nearby. The two buildings, clean and neat with whitewash, and a hastily transplanted garden of marigolds made a very attractive corner of the compound. The girls have more freedom here by themselves and a greater sense of responsibility. One hopes that they will develop in dignity and self­ control in a measure hardly possible while they are under the same system and rules as the smallest kindergarten children. Mrs. Potter had the happy idea of entertaining the classes in turn once a week. So on Tuesday or Wednesday afternoon of every week a “party” is in progress, usually on the strip of green grass in front of the Bungalow that we still call “Mrs. Beattie’s Lawn.” At Miss Conklin’s instigation, Mrs. Boulton, the Sub-Collector’s wife, had the goodness of heart and enthusiasm to start a patrol of Girl Guides in the school. It has been a tremendous asset already and w e are proud of the interest and success of the girls. They have given two dramas already and a series of sales that have brought in with a flourish money enough to buy the coveted uniform (a blue- bordered white sari with a white jacket and hood and a yellow tie) for each of the group. May God’s richest blessing rest upon the school, the girls and all who have their interest at heart.

Evangelistic Work PALMANER Miss Conklin reports: The work of our two Bible W o m e n is like a series of cottage prayer meetings. As soon as we appear at a home, several large mats are brought out and laid in the court yard, and a service of story, song and prayer follows, to which w o m e n and girls from the neighboring houses come. Sometimes we find our song and story a greater attraction than a wedding itself; sometimes it is an eager-eyed old w o m a n who, in her tiny bazaar, sings with us and nods knowingly as we tell our story, while at the same time she is doling out chilies and plantains in return for the tightly clutched copper. In another home, where the girl-pupil had been called out, her older brother very willingly recited the verses and told the story, though he quite firmly demurred at singing with us. Very simple and conservative are they here. But was it not the co m m o n people wh o “heard H i m gladly” when H e visited among their homes? “N o easy way— rough strewn with stones, A n d wearisome the path H e trod. But His way is the only way That leads ma n back to God.” Educational Work Miss Conklin reports: “The children, Lord, the children, Not for ourselves we pray, But for these little ones, whose feet Are tender to the way. A n d whatever else they learn, Lord, M a y they learn this first of all, That the great heart of their Father Will answer every call.” Intermittent glimpses of the two elementary schools we have in Palmaner have reassured m e that the work is improving as a loving interest and enthusiasm for the children has replaced the teacher’s pride in his own lecture-work- and black-board drawing. True, the hand work is more clumsy, the drill less automatic, and the drawings of box or leaf less perfect, but see the interest of each girl in her individual long-division problem, her own piece of sewing, or her folded-paper design, and the eagerness with which the boys show you, each his own garden. Each school has two teachers for about forty pupils, and each has received very creditable reports from the Government Inspectors. Industrial Home for Women— Miss Smallegan reports: All know of the Ranipettai Boarding School. W e wonder if you know that only six months ago there was tucked away in one of its corners the Palmaner W o m a n ’s Industrial School. W e were as a hamper filled to overflowing, waiting to be washed, starched and ironed that we might stand alone. For years we had no requirements for admission. W e just received all wre could hold, and went on and on, always hoping for a new place— a place to be an Industrial School for w o me n whose bent is for trades rather than study. W e are thankful to the W o m a n ’s Board of Foreign Missions, Mr. Rottschaefer and others of the Mission who have helped to start us anew. The purpose of the Industrial School is to train and teach girls to make better homes, to cook, to sewr, to be clean, and to manage well, to train girls and wromen in a trade by which a livelihood m a y be earned, to carry on extension classes for former students and any women desiring our aid. W e have for our own what is known as the Parry Property, a large bungalow. W e have three large, airy and spacious school rooms. The other rooms are a most comfortable home for the lady in charge. Just back of the bungalow are four double cottages. This small model village is the home of the girls. It can accommodate eight families of six or eight each. Each family has its own front yard, a verandah, living room, kitchen and storeroom. Each family has a Mother w'ho keeps the house accounts. The Auntie takes the laundry account. The Sister does the big sisterly act of seeing that all baths are taken and the house cleaned. The rest of the family group do all their part in the daily round of affairs. “The girls look very happy,” has become a familiar saying, for it has been reiterated by our visitors, and our guests have not been few as you m a y think. So me fifty-four Europeans and no end of Indians have taken time to look at our buildings, grounds and work. If you were to visit us you would find us far from any railway, but we are on the direct motor route from Madras to Bangalore. W e are also a halfway place from Chittoor, Vellore, Katpadi, and Ranipettai to Madanapalle. The first six months at Palmaner have indeed been happy ones and not without change and advance in the right direction.

PUNGANUR Evangelistic Work Miss Sarella TeWinkel reports that two Bible W o m e n continue working in Punganur, that “royal city” of our Telugu Plateau. Just recently, for the first time in m y experience, one of the Bible W o m e n found the wa y open to enter two houses within the palace enclosure. “The Angel whose name is Death” went before and opened the way for us to go in and tell them the message of our compassionate M a n of Sorrows who was acquainted with grief. Educational Work There are 5 teachers and 110 pupils on the roll of the Hindu Girls’ School with an average attendance of 65 or 70 and it requires all the best effort of the teachers to keep up this enrollment and attendance. But the effort required is certainly worth while. Those who during past years were pupils in this school are constantly turn­ ing up among the Zenana pupils visited by our Bible W o m e n and they are some of the most intelligent and receptive listeners. The regular Bible lessons every day and Sunday school on Sundays have prepared these w o m e n for our message. Medical Work Dr. Hart reports that the daily Dispensary has been closed except for what the nurse who lives there can do for those who have been seen by the doctor on the weekly visit. “On Wednesdays, Miss TeWinkel and I go to Punganur, she to visit the school and I to the Dispensary. W e have our lunch at noon, after which she goes to the Zenanas with the Bible W o m e n and I go to a home where there is some one who wishes to see me. She m a y invite the wo m e n of the nearby homes to meet m e also, and when I have seen them individually, all will sit down together for a little instruction and friendly visiting, with the hope of opening their minds and hearts to higher and holier thoughts than usually are found there. So we continue to work and pray for Punganur.”

MADANAPALLE Evangelistic Work Miss Sarella TeWinkel reports that the three Bible W o m e n take turns doing Evangelistic W o r k at the M a r y Lott Lyles Hospital and Dispensary. Those not on duty at the hospital visit villages near Madanapalle in the mornings and spend the afternoons visiting their pupils in homes in the town. Everywhere the Bible W o m e n are called upon to act as mediators in family quarrels and comforters in times of sickness and sorrow. They give sympathy to the childless and the widows and teach them by prayer to cast their cares on H i m who careth for them. They give wise counsel to young girls soon to be married. To all the Bible W o m e n go with sympathy and prayer. They are serving H i m who came to preach the Gospel to the poor, healing to the broken-hearted, deliverance to the captives, recovering of sight to the blind and the setting at liberty of them that are bruised. In a village home about fifteen miles from Madanapalle, from which a boy aged about fifteen and his young wife of about nine or ten years are attending our Mission Schools, there is an old, old lady, great-grandmother to the young husband. This dear old lady once said to one of our Bible W o m e n : “Yo u must come again and again and tell us these good things which our children are learning so that at last we m a y all go to the same good place.”

Educational Work Miss Coburn reports that in the Girls’ Secondary School there are 11 teachers and helpers, 87 boarders, 37 Hindu day scholars, and 29 Christian day scholars. “A n unusual number of visitors have come to see our work and the words of encouragement have meant a great deal to the teachers and to us all. Our Inspectress said we had greatly improved this past year, and in her report we could all rejoice. W e have had more Hindu girls than ever before. There are three Hindu girls in our highest class, and two of them plan to continue their studies, and this is very unusual. In one of the lower classes w e have a child- wife, and the husband attends H o p e High School. The parents of the children send them to Mission Schools because they say the children learn good things there. B y ‘good things’ they mean things concerning the W a y of Righteousness. “The Fairy Court which was organized last year has been carried on, and w e believe that the girls are becoming more responsible through the Court. Other societies such as the Christian Endeavor and the Evangelistic Bands have been as active as usual. “W e are preparing for Christmas and we hope that every child in the school will learn and feel that the words Jesus spoke so m a n y years ago are the same today: ‘I a m the Way, the Truth, and the Life.’ For if they learn that, no matter how m a n y shadows there m a y be, every day will be light, and the aim of the Madanapalle Girls’ School is to fill the lives of its girls with light.”

Medical Work Mary Lott Lyles Hospital— The Doctor in charge is Dr. Louisa Hart and she was away on furlough most of the year. The Nurse in charge is Miss TeWinkel. They are assisted by an Indian Doctor and an Indian Assistant, one Compounder and one in training, three trained nurses and eight nurses in training. Ten Hospital or­ phans have been cared for during the year; three of them are no w in boarding schools and one has been adopted by a Christian family. Miss Josephine TeWinkel reports: It was impossible for us to have any major operations during Dr. Hart’s absence, although very necessary cases frequently turned up at the dispensary. Efforts were made to direct these to Vellore Hospital, but w e were not successful, for the people do not yet easily submit to operations, and it is almost impossible to get them to go to an unknown place at a distance. There were occasional epidemics of fever among the people and although we hold as strictly as possible to our old rule of “hospital for w o m e n and children” only, there were times when we could not turn away our me n and big boys. A m o n g the teachers and girls from the Girls’ School some also suffered severe illnesses and among these two died, one a beautiful wee kindergartener and another a little maid of ten. A n interesting family brought to the hospital was that of an ex-priest. They had recently become Christians, having received baptism in our church. The Bible Wo m e n , in visiting the village, found the family very ill with high fevers in their little hut. Owing to their having become Christians, the village people had abandoned them and were doing nothing for them. The Bible W o m e n , good Samaritans that they are, succeeded in getting a bullock-bandy and brought the whole family into the hospital. Dr. Hart reports that it was a pleasure to return to work once more, and the pleasure was greatly enhanced by finding ho w well D'r. Chorley had co-operated with Miss TeWinkel in the administra­ tion of the hospital and ho w devoted she was to both the medical and the mission sides of the hospital work. The Dispensary Work seems to be as large as ever, and Dr. Chorley has gained the confidence and in m a n y places the affection of the people, wh o speak highly of her character and skill. Miss Josephine TeWinkel is making a great success of the training of the nurses. This is a hard task, for the w o m e n available for this training have a very low grade of general education, and are not able to grasp sufficient knowledge to be intelligent observers of their patients. This means that the superintending members of the staff have to work with them, and watch over their work a great deal more than is usual in other countries.

TINDIVAHAM Evangelistic Work Mrs. Walter T. Scudder reports that the work of the two Bible W o m e n has gone on steadily in the regular lines. There is one Bible W o m a n in Wandiwash, and the work has been enthusiastically begun in m a n y of the finest homes of the town. Educational Work * The Hindu Girls’ School is suffering from rival schools in town, but the Sunday school is encouraging because we have an excep­ tionally talented m a n for song and story. There are two grades of this school who are eagerly learning the Bible through songs set to their ow n tunes. The Hostel girls come every morning to the Bungalow for Prayers. The life in a Christian atmosphere is so much better for these young girls than life in their home villages where heathenism is rife. Medical Work The Morning Dispensary is reaching out to m a n y needy cases in the town and the nurse’s visits are rapidly increasing in number. This is gratifying, for although it means fewer visits from me, it means that we are getting cases not too abnormal nor delayed to the danger point, as was m y experience in answering calls before m y last furlough. A Camp Dispensary was an innovation this last year. I went with the preaching band and we were able to help each other so that our three days in Thellar seemed to take hold. Our small medical box we had hardly stocked sufficiently for the variety that our 460 patients presented. Sunday morning while the preaching band were out we had our biggest number. W e were giving our services, being Sunday, but at the next clinic we told those who needed to come back for medicine that we should expect a half penny, a quarter anna in India money. They all brought the amount asked for the medicine. The Bible w o m a n connected with the Tindivanam Dispensary not only tries to reach the patients on their spiritual side but helps the ignorant, some of w h o m have not heard before of powder and pills, to know what is expected of them. She gives tracts to those wh o can read, and teaches from the attractive Sunday school picture roll, after the dispensary has been opened with prayer. For results I feel that the Zenana work, being a steady teaching, shows us glimpses of souls secretly accepting Christ, and that all forms of work will surely bear fruit.

ABNI Evangelistic Work Zenana Work— Mrs. Farrar reports that the Zenana work has been carried on by four Bible women, all of w h o m have done good work, visiting and teaching in 120 houses. There are old homes in which the life of Christ has been taught, where the w o m e n are most eager to learn more about our Saviour. Such w o m e n will often tell us that there are no gods compared to ours, the one true God, and that they believe in Jesus Christ and worship H i m only. Not any have had the courage to come out and confess H i m openly, and when I think of all it would mean to such a woman, leaving her loved ones and becom­ ing an outcast, as it were, I have the deepest sympathy for her and wonder if, after all, she is not doing as H e would have her do, by trying to live like H i m in her o w n home and influencing those about her by silently witnessing for Him.

Educational Work ' Hindu Girls’ Schools— Both Kosapalliam and Arnipalliam have done good work. The strength is about 112 in each school. Bible lessons are taught in stories and songs and in the regular class work, and often when a pupil in the school finishes, she wants to continue in the home the study of the Bible with the Bible women. S o m e of our pupils have married and gone to another part of the town and to other places, and in a number of cases they continue the study of the Bible in the places where they have gone. *

RANIPETTAI Evangelistic Work Zenana Work— Mrs. Honegger reports that the work of the eight Bible wo m e n stretches far beyond the confines of the town of Ranipet. About 250 Hindu w o m e n and girls are receiving instruction in their homes in the vernacular, Bible stories, verses and hymns. In many of the Hindu homes in which we work, the women appreciate the value of our Christian instruction and are anxious to accept Christ. W e are instructing two very interesting seekers, a m a n over a hundred years old and his faithful companion. W h e n told of some of the hardships which he must endure from his village people, he replied, “I a m ready to give m y life if need be, but I will worship Jesus Christ.” Social Center— The work of the Center and that which is connected with it was most encouraging until July, when a Madras school girl from a high caste home came out for Christ. The news spread throughout the Presidency and the immediate reaction upon our caste work was exceedingly trying. The big girls wh o had been regularly attending our Sunday school were kept at home. The high school boys wh o were members of the Sunday club were also detained at home. W h e n asked to explain w h y they were absent they replied, “They will tell us stories about their S w am i and our parents are afraid they will- make us Christians.” , Notwithstanding the feeling of antagonism which has been abroad, our classes, lectures and entertainments for the w o m e n have been fairly well attended; The Reading R o o m membership has grown and me n from Arcot think it worth while to drive two miles a couple of times a week to enjoy an evening with the best of magazines and papers. “The H o m e of Neighborly Service” still finds m a n y oppor­ tunities to minister to those in trouble and in need. Thus the sowing goes on throughout the year with fellowship with our caste friends.

Educational Work Girls’ High School— Miss Charlotte Wyckoff writes that the school is flourishing and full of activity, and it is hard to keep up with it. This year we have started a new advanced course in Domestic Science as one of the major electives for the last two years. Six girls have ventured to take the course and we are pioneering together. The Science Master gave the girls their foundation of practical Physics and Chemistry, and I a m teaching them some simple principles of Dietetics, and our Matron teaches them Indian cookery. In addition to this they spend an hour or two a week with Miss Noordyk at the hospital learning to make sick people comfortable, to bathe babies, and render first aid. The sixth form Bible class is an interesting one, and we have been studying some of the Old Testament literature, as well as history, and we have had most interesting discussions on Job, and the last part of Isaiah, and studies in Psalms and Proverbs. Nearly all our older girls go out to the nearby villages on Sunday afternoons and teach the children who gather under the trees, or help teach in the primary department of the Church school; so all are getting training in service. The times when we meet to pray and prepare our lessons bring us very close together. Hindu Girls? Schools— Mrs. V a n Vranken writes: Let m e liken m y three schools to flower gardens with the stafi: as the keepers of them. The flowers are of 350 varieties. All of these need individual atten­ tion. They are receiving knowledge and definite ethical teachings along the lines of right, truth, justice and honesty. These are being taught through Bible stories; thus we hope that all our plants m a y be firmly rooted in Christ’s love and His teachings. Sad to say, a few of our flowers at Arcot have been taken from us by the dread pest, cholera. This necessitated the closing of the garden for a month. The Kaveripak garden was ravaged by smallpox in a very serious form, but all recovered. Y o u m a y be surprised to kn ow that the garden remained open, and daily the plants were watered and cared for; W h o did we say were the caretakers? The teachers. There have been a few changes in the personnel of the staff, making it more efficient. Y o u might be interested in some of the staff’s activities. Teachers’ meetings were held, model lessons taught. Talks along edu­ cational lines were listened to with keen interest. Each group of teachers visited the other schools to gather new life and new ideas. There was a healthy spirit of rivalry on the part of each to make their ow n school the best. The pleasure of these trips was added to by the motor ride, which was a novel experience. It was great fun to get us all packed into the Ford, with m y husband as driver, six teachers and a few babes in arms. H o m e to home visits were, also a part of our programme. This effort was appreciated by the parents. Their appreciation was shown by sending their daughters regularly. So me fathers said, “W e do not believe in female education; in spite of this we cannot keep our girls at home because of their love for the school.” Thus we are encouraged. W e hope that the keepers of our gardens m a y realize their oppor­ tunities and never fail to train the flowers properly, and that they m a y never pick them carelessly.

Medical Work Ranipet General Hospital— Our nurse, Miss Noordyk, writes that during the year the out-patients at the hospital have numbered about 13,000 and the in-patients have been about 500. The doctor and his assistant see all these patients, and the nurses and the compounders give the treatments and compound the drugs and do the thousand and one things that must be done for the sick to enable them to get well. W e wonder how it was all done when we think of our well-staffed hospitals at home, equipped in every detail for the work. It gives us an inward sense of joy to think that we have been able to relieve bodily suffering and to save lives and, above all, in the midst of our busy lives to point the people to the great Physician of souls.

The year 1923 has been a most memorable and trying one for our work in Japan. The total destruction of Ferris Seminary with the irreparable loss of its consecrated and most efficient Principal is a blow whose severity we can as yet only imperfectly realize. The future of the Seminary still remains an unsolved problem, depending largely upon the response of the home churches to our solicitation for funds with which to rebuild and equip. A perusal of the report by Miss Noordhoff will disclose the fine spirit permeating those n o w on the field, who are toiling to continue the existence of this our oldest and most famous school. The assignments made last summer to Ferris have naturally had to be greatly changed. Also, the blotting out of the Japanese Language School at Tokyo has forced our new mission­ aries, who were carrying on their studies there, to scatter among our mission stations wherever they can best complete their language work under private teachers. Even those missionaries whose fields were far from the earthquake have been under a heavy strain of anxiety and

All this, coming on top of the stress caused by the severe cut in appropriations, has made the closing months of 1923 an un­ precedented period of toil, perplexity and sorrow. Perhaps in all the years of our Japanese work there has never been greater need both of our prayerful sympathy and of our most active efforts to help these w o m e n who labor with us in the Gospel.

Y O K O H A M A ' Educational Work Ferris Seminary— Miss Noordhoff sends the following report: Until the earthquake destroyed Ferris Seminary, the year’s work was one of progress and splendid results. Miss Kuyper, the new Principal, had wo n her wa y into the hearts of students and faculty, and all were alike in their appreciation of the wa y she was taking up the work. In every activity of the school she showed careful con­ sideration for those engaged in the work, by aiding in every w a y and helping to promote every plan that seemed for the best of the insti­ tution; and the students were well aware of the fact that their chief was vitally interested in their spiritual development. The religious activities of the school were always of the greatest interest to her, and during the year, the students had opportunity to hear addresses by some of the members of the mission and leading Christian workers in Japan, among them being Miss Michi Kawai and Mr. Paul Kanamori. The work of the Y. W. C. A. was growing in its hold on the hearts and interest of the students, and some very interesting plans were being considered. A m o n g these were the fitting up of a cabinet and reading-room combined, a camp for active m e m ­ bers to be held at the opening of the fall term, a class in first aid, and other similar plans that might be of use to the girls, both in their school life and in their homes. During the summer vacation, various students • were engaged in studying the different ways of doing Christian work, the welfare work of Mrs. Jo, the prison work of Miss MacDonald, the newspaper ad­ vertising work, with the idea that, in a series of talks given by these pupils, a larger number of the students might be interested in taking up Christian work for their life work. Ten student delegates went to the Y. W . C. A. conference at Sendai, and several teachers and pupils also attended the Laym en’s Conference held at Gotemba at the be­ ginning of the summer. A n d then came the disaster, and for a time it seemed as though Ferris Seminary were no more. Miss Kuyper had left Karuizawa, where she had spent the summer vacation, the day before the quake in order to prepare for the opening of school. She had not desired that any of her associates should return with her; so she was alone at the time of the disaster. The morning had been spent in routine work in the office, but just before noon, a graduate came in for a visit. A picture of Christ in Gethsemane, standing on the desk, led them to talk about the prayer of Christ at that time; and teacher and former pupil enjoyed a half hour’s communion in Bible lesson and prayer ere they separated— the girl to go to her work, her companion to her Gethsemane. A half hour later the earthquake came, the building fell, Miss Kuyper was pinned under the beams, and nothing the servants on the place could do was of any avail. Calm and quiet to the end, she bade those trying to help her to leave, giving them loving messages for loved ones at home and friends, and with her Master’s words, “Thy Will Be Done” on her lips, she passed through her trial to her reward. Words cannot express the grief we feel nor the loss we have sustained in the death of Miss Kuyper. Only one short year in this work as Chief, but a year of triumph and progress that her associates in Ferris will never forget! The disaster having laid low so m a n y of the homes of the students as well as the school, it was at first thought that no work could be done as a school. Hence, Miss Teets was given opportunity to study the Japanese language to prepare for greater service when matters were more settled. Miss Noordhoff was at her request given oppor­ tunity to visit the girls in their homes and to work among the girls as she might be able. Dr. Oltmans was appointed Acting Principal ; but there was very little idea that it would be possible to do any­ thing. Then the graduates came forward, saying their fund collected for endowment was at the disposal of the Board of Directors for the use of a temporary school— a fund of $9,000. Four hundred girls having already shown a desire to continue, as they could go nowhere else, and the future of Yoko ham a as an important port city being assured, the Board was asked to grant a similar sum for a temporary building on the ruins of Ferris; and on Christmas Day, the building was so far completed that the Christmas celebration was held in the new building. During the months of waiting, m a n y calls were made at homes, and m a n y opportunities for giving literature and for bring­ ing- home the lessons of the disaster were taken advantage of. Besides the loss of the Principal, Miss Kuyper, two very valuable teachers succumbed to illness due to lack of facilities for proper care because of the earthquake, and thirteen girls lost their lives. W e cannot say what actual spiritual results m a y come from all this ex­ perience; but we pray that the great losses m a y certainly be used of God in bringing the students to an earnest consideration of spiritual things. W e look forward to a year of service, and pray for help from above and strength for all that shall come to us.

SHIMONOSEKI Educational Work Sturges Seminary, Baiko Jo Gakuin— Miss Jennie A. Pieters re­ ports:— The year 1923 was ushered in gently, with no warning or premonition of what lay before us as a school or Japan as a nation. M e n and w o m e n of influence and authority warned the people that the life they were living was extravagant and must be checked. Great change was noticeable however only in small groups. At Baiko also we frequently heard warnings against the laxness which prevails everywhere and manifests itself in every phase of life from ex­ travagance in dress to extreme freedom of morals. W e feel that con- slant effort is needed to train our students in self-control and moder­ ation. In March of this year we graduated a class of 26, of w h o m six have entered higher schools and two have continued in the Post-grad­ uate class here. Owing to limited chapel accommodations we were obliged to turn away m a n y who wished to enter this school in April. This, however, had some compensations, for competitive examinations eliminated some who were not desirable. One hundred twenty-six were admitted and the total enrollment is no w 287 in the regular course. The rainy season, always approached with some apprehension, was unprecedently severe, and caused not only great anxiety but unusual damage to the grounds in slipping banks and falling walls. Fortunately we and all in Shimonoseki escaped without injury, al­ though m a n y deaths were reported from other portions of Japan as a result of landslides and falling buildings. Repairs on our property wTere not completed until November, in spite of the fact that a good force of me n worked steadily from the middle of July. This will give some idea of the extent of the damage done. The activities of the Y. W . C. A., the Children’s Sunday school and the Bible-school for the dormitory students, as well as the general religious activities of the school, have been good. There have been no startling revival meetings, no remarkable addresses. Our friends, Mr. Kanamori, Col. Yamamuro of the Salvation Army, Mr. Kagawa, the great social worker and ardent Christian, Mr. Kimura, the “Billy Sunday” of Japan, and Miss Kawai, Secretary of the Y. W . C. A. have all been welcome speakers in our chapel this year, and all have the same simple message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. A d d these to the regular weekly Bible teaching, the services and the daily im­ pact of Christian principles and living, and some steady progress is certain to be made. This year forty of our students have been taken into the church here, and some in Moji. There m a y be others in other places who have not reported their baptism to the school. . The great disaster on September 1st which devastated Tokyo and Yokohama, was felt to the remotest hamlet in the Empire. It re­ leased latent forces and abilities for sacrifice and helpfulness hitherto unknowm. Baiko was. not behind in doing her part. In fact she led in the important work of relief in this section. Through the prompt action of the Principal, Mr. Hirotsu, the church and school were en­ listed in observing “Luxury-less w’eek,” w’hich was later reduced to “day,” and is still observed. Only rice and pickles were served at meals, and all money thus saved was given to the Relief Fund. The Principal, together with some teachers and pupils, went out on the street and on the ferry-boat, and after speaking to the assembled people and singing a song about the unfortunate ones of the North, which one of the teachers had written, they accepted the offerings of the bystanders. This was difficult at first, and some begged to be excused; but soon the right spirit of sacrifice of personal pride and ease gave rise to an eagerness to help, which was encouraging as an indication of growth in character. B y the end of the year 300 ki­ monos, 1,200 first baby kimonos besides m a n y quilts, various pieces of underwear and monetary gifts were sent to Tokyo. It is estimated that the cash value of clothing and money secured and sent from Baiko was well over 6,000 Y e n ! A goodly showing of genuine interest and hard work. The Principal, who went to Tokyo and Yokohama in person to in­ vestigate and to call upon graduates who had suffered, was instru­ mental in awakening interest and help among the schools and churches of Northern Kyushu that had not realized their privilege and duty. Our faith and confidence in the school and its future is.based not on any remarkable experiences, but on the daily impact of the principles of Jesus upon the lives gathered here. Our share in this impact as a Church in America and workers here is cause for both deep humility and great gratitude. H o w far do we all measure up to what Our Master expects of us?

FUKUOKA Evangelistic Work In the absence of Miss Lansing there is no resident missionary in Fukuoka, but Miss Hospers sends the following report of the work of the Bible w o m a n there:— Miss Uchida is stationed at Fukuoka with no missionary or any other person helping her. Special mention should be made of her faithfulness. She is living entirely alone; and though she says that she is not lonely, still I know that she feels that there is no one to cheer her. O n Sundays she goes to the Fukuoka church and plays the organ for Sunday school and church service. In the afternoon there is the House Sunday school of forty-five pupils. W h e n this is finished she goes to a little place called Najima, three miles distant, and has another school of thirty children. In the evening, once more, it is playing for the church service. O n Mond ay afternoon, a little boy of fourteen comes for a Bible lesson. Tuesday morning is reserved for visiting a lady who is no w studying the First Epistle of John. In the afternoon there is a Sunday school of about thirty youngsters. O n Tuesday evening is the time of Miss Lansing’s famous “Enquirers’ meeting.” Even now, without the presence of Miss Lansing, thirteen people come regularly. O n Wednesday, Acts is taught to an old lady of seventy-eight years and to her son, who is a cripple. In the afternoon girls come from the girls’ school; these are studying Romans. ■ Once more on Thursday morning, Miss Uchida goes to Najima, and has a Bible class of seven women. In the afternoon there is the church Ladies’ Society two times a month, and on the remaining afternoon a meeting for graduates. Friday morning finds Miss Uchida going to Miyoshima for a Bible class of three women. It is a long walk. In the afternoon there is another Bible class for nine women, or even thirteen at times. Saturday morning is reserved for study. Twice a month in the afternoon she goes to Saitozaki for Bible with a w o m a n who is sick with tuberculosis and will, most likely, not re­ cover. Returning, she stops at Kashi, a small village, for a Bible lesson with two women. Miss Uchida and I have arranged to meet once a month to talk over the affairs of the Ki ngdom in Fukuoka and receive inspiration from each other. W h e n you see what she is doing, do you realize that it is I who a m the one who receives the inspiration? M a y God bless her and keep her from loneliness!

KAGOSHIMA Evangelistic Work Miss Evelyn Oltmans reports:— As both Jean and I were new­ comers in Kagoshima, and also Katsuiki San, our helper, it took us some time to pick up the broken threads of work. It was suggested that Jean take up the work in the Tanshin Kan, the loan library and book-selling hall. It is do wn town and is in charge of Mrs. Ito, a widow of about fifty years of age. Jean goes to the K a n every day and has a lesson in Japanese, and has classes with both girls and young men, mostly in English and in English Bible. Katsuiki San and I have three Sunday schools; that is to say, one of them is on Sunday and two are held on week days. One is held in the home of a non-Christian, a w o m a n who keeps a little drug shop. It is right on a busy street, and so most easy to get the children, as the street fairly swarms with youngsters. They come scampering into the house, as soon as we put in our appearance on Tuesday afternoons, ranging in age from boys and girls of fifteen to babies half a year old strapped on the backs of older brothers and sisters. Often the teacher has to stop talking for a bit while these babies get through crying, but generally the little nurse-girl or nurse- boy simply stands up and furiously jiggles the infant on her or his back, and the crying stops while the teacher goes on talking. Another Sunday school is held on Wednesday, at the home of our pastor, among a better class of children. That they come from better homes is certainly evident in their behavior, for they are very attentive and sit quietly on the floor, without squirming all over it. At the end of the class the rows of children are just as even as they were at the beginning. W e can hardly say as much of the Tuesday children. H o m e training must count for a lot, for at heart these children are really the same. The third Sunday school meets in our house on Sunday afternoons. In each we have an average attendance of fifty children and often a few grown-ups who, hearing the singing, come and stand outside and listen for a while. For a time we were troubled about the papers for the children, as all the places where they were printed seemed to be destroyed during the quake and fire up north. However, finally we secured some from another place. These Christian papers mean a great deal to us in getting the Good Seed of the Word, through the children, into m a n y homes. Another wa y in which we spread the W o r d is through our hos­ pital work. Near us is a large K e n (province) hospital, and through the kindness of a friend, who interceded for us, we were able to get into this hospital, though the head of the institution is not a Chris­ tian. Once a week we go to the hospital with our arms full of Christian literature,— the Christian newspaper, tracts and a special paper for w o me n edited by Miss Couch. M y helper and I go through all the wards and private rooms and give out the literature to all the patients. In this hospital, as in every one of its kind in this land, I imagine, the patients provide for their own nurses, and in the majority of cases, relatives of the sick do the nursing and live right in the room with the patients. W e usually give out literature to about a hundred or more patients each time. To many, it is the first time any Christian literature has come, and they are eager to receive it. W e pray the seed thus sown m a y bring forth fruit in lives turned from sin and darkness to the true Way, which is Salva­ tion and Light through Christ. W e have an interesting work in one of the large spinning factor­ ies, where hundreds of girls are employed. Once a month we hold meetings here, and about fifty girls regularly attend. W e sing sev­ eral hymns, as the girls love these Christian songs, and then have a Bible lesson given by Katsuiki San, m y helper. In November, one of the girls from this factory confessed Christ as her Savior and joined our little church. She first learned to know about Christ through the words and the efforts of Miss Kuyper, who at that time was living in Kagoshima. Miss Kuyper is, I a m sure, rejoicing in Heaven over the rebirth of this sister, for w h o m she worked and prayed when she was on earth. S o m e of the girls from two of the local Girls’ Schools come to the house two afternoons a week for singing and Bible classes. As a special inducement we offered to teach them English; and very eagerly they responded, for to know a few words in English seems to the Japanese girls a splendid achievement; and we, of course, are glad to teach them the beginnings of the English language, if through it we m a y have the opportunity to lead them to Christ. Classes' with boys are held in the same way. Seven of the young me n who attend the commercial school, who have been very regular in their attendance at both the Sunday school and the Bible Classes at this house, publicly confessed Christ and joined the church in November. W e hope that these boys will be true witnesses for their Master and will try to bring their friends to kn ow Him, too. Most of the boys took this step despite opposition from their families at home. So, you see, they can be witnesses right in their own family. The days seem full of work of m a n y kinds, and still we feel that there are so very m a n y that we do not reach and so ma ny things that might yet be done. I know that you and all the friends in America are praying for us that we may be given wisdom and strength for the work, and patience and love, without which, really, our efforts are not of much value.

NAGASAKI v •’ Evangelistic Work Miss Couch says:— The house into which we moved a year ago has proved to be fairly suitable as a center for our work, for though we are at one side of the city, the electric car runs near, and the convenience of having a room which can be used for meetings with­ out removing bedroom and study furniture is greatly appreciated. The attendance at our bi-weekly w o m a n ’s Bible class has been good, with an increased proportion of non-Christians. One special joy has been that some of our former pupils have come to this or other Christian meetings for the first time in years. This autumn, in connection with the industrial branch of our Church W o m a n ’s Society, we have been sewing for the needy ones in the devastated districts. Quite a number of old clothes have been made over; but our specialty has been sleeveless wadded under­ jackets of which 233 were made and very gladly received. Miss Tomegawa has been very busy with meetings and calling, and the “Ochibo”, our monthly publication, has claimed its usual share of our time,— in fact more than usual, because for a large part of the year we have been without an assistant to w h o m we could delegate the folding, addressing and distributing. For the first three months of the year Miss Sumi Okazaki, a graduate of Baiko Jo G-akuin, whose home is in Nagasaki, most kindly helped us in the “Ochibo” and Sunday school work; but owing to illness, she could not continue. As might be expected, this autumn our “Ochibo” re­ ceipts were small, and for some time we carried a deficit; but in December we took in the largest amount of any month since we began publishing, and we were able to close the year with a fine balance. So even if relief work did divert funds from us for a little, it seems to have helped some people to form the habit of giving. The lack of an assistant left the work of the two children’s schools to me; but as neither was large, and m y strength sufficed, it was a pleasure. Miss Darrow kindly taught the Christmas songs in one school, and Miss Tomegawa was able to help with the two entertain­ ments. ‘The Nagasaki Church has finally purchased a lot, and the Ochibo Fu nd for the church building was practically closed at the end of the year. A little over Yen 920 had been received. A glance back over the year finds, of course, some things that look like failures. Are they, or are they not? Only the Omniscient One knows. But the same backward glance reveals also m a n y causes for joy and thankfulness. W e have been allowed to see a little fruit from seed sown long ago, as well as some that has more quickly developed, and new hearers have come in unlooked for ways. Per­ sonally, we give thanks for providentially spared lives, and for re­ newed strength, which we desire to use in the new year increasingly for the glory of H i m Whose we are and W h o m we serve.

SAGA Evangelistic Work The report of Miss Hospers from Saga is as follows:— Long ago when Mr. Hoekje was still in Saga, he went to a bookstore to buy a m a p of Saga. The shopkeeper showed him one ten years old. Mr. Hoekje asked for a more recent one. “O h ”, said the shopkeeper, “this is all right, Saga has not changed much since then.” It is the same with our work; nothing startling has occurred during the year. Our Sunday school held on Sunday has changed homes. W e do not meet at the Manse any more, and the attendance is much smaller. About twenty come regularly. Three times a week we have classes for girls from the three High Schools. Regularly we go to Kitagata for Sunday school. The last time, from two in the afternoon until five we had five meetings, which meant that three hundred children, at least, heard the Christmas story and tried to sing “Asleep in a Manger.” This Sunday school is held in a new place. The old m a n and his wife are very dear people. H e has creeping paralysis, but in spite of this he helps us out as much as he can. It is a pleasure to go to Kitagata. H o w much pleasure a kindness gives in this sor­ rowful world! One of the meetings held was a little Bible lesson with these good people and two neighbor ladies with their first babies. Seven years ago these mothers were girls in m y class at Takeo. It is a splendid policy to keep missionaries a long time in one place because tics are formed which give a w a r m feeling of kinship and points of contact. W e also go to Arita for Sunday school and for Ladies’ Society. Our hospital visitation has been held in abeyance for lack of funds for tracts and papers, and I have no more postal cards for the children. As a Christmas greeting, two hundred copies of Kana- mori’s book were given to the patients. These books were a present from Mr. Kanamori. Miss Sato visits faithfully, and through her faithful work two young w o m e n are to receive baptism on Christmas day. The Sunday school held in m y home on Saturday is noisy and quite flourishing. The one held about a mile' from here on Friday is exceedingly noisy and also flourishing. W e meet in a little room rented from a ricksha man. There are isolated classes of pupils com­ ing for English or music. I have m y regular places where I visit during the week. Added to these are the regular callers who come to m y home. The one change in our cycle of work is the organization of the “Sunshine Club.” Twice a month, on Wednesday morning, girls who have graduated and other young w o m e n gather for a short Bible lesson and singing; then we knit, or sew or crochet, and always talk. It has made m e learn to read intricate directions and abbreviations i. and to explain treblestitch, etc., etc. in Japanese, and ho w to knit bootees and jackets and shawls. Here Miss Nagata and Miss Sato shine, as they are the mainsprings of the little assembly of twenty. At first it was inclined to be a gloomy club, but gradually we are warming up to one another, and at the last meeting we had a very good time. A new arrival of six hundred and forty pounds is expected in Saga. The bill of lading for a piano has just come. This will add infinitely to the work next year. This piano is a gift of the young ladies who support me, and special thanks must be given to them and to Mrs. Edith Walvoord. W e cannot thank you enough. God Bless Yo u All. OITA Evangelistic Work {From the Report to the Board of Foreign Missions) During the year three Sunday schools have been continued in Oita city under the teaching' of the Bible helper. The work in one of these three has been greatly hindered by opposition from the great temple in the neighborhood, but an average attendance of 40 has been maintained. This Sunday school has been held in a room rented from a non-Christian, and as the children have listened to the story they have had to face a godshelf in the house, but no other room seems available in this neighborhood. The other two schools are rather smaller than last year, but the attendance is good and the interest as well. Since September a special gift from one of the members of the Roxbury, N. Y. church has made it possible to open a Sunday school in Hasama Mura, about an hour’s trip from Oita, in the home of a Christian, a member of the Oita church. This m a n and his wife are much interested and have desired a Sunday school for over a year, but lack of funds has prevented its being started sooner. At the Christmas season, they had prepared a tree, a gift and a bag of cakes for each child. As there is no temple or shrine of any size in this neighborhood, there is no opposition and the children are the most attentive of any in the Sunday schools. O n Christmas night the three city Sunday schools united in hold­ ing a celebration in the church. This was the most successful held for several years; in fact there were present an unusual number of parents and friends, mostly non-Christians, who through the songs and Scripture recitations and tableaux must have gained at least a little knowledge of the Gospel story. Aside from Sunday school work, several High School girls have been coming regularly for Bible study during the spring of the year. Also a little club, called the Shuonkwai was started with these girls as a nucleus, but these efforts had to be abandoned soon because of the lack of purpose on the part of the Bible helper. ' At the close of the year, this helper left suddenly to be married. He r lack of tact and interest has cost the confidence of m a n y of the Christians; so it is best for the work that she leaves. But the place is left vacant and it is hoped that an older w o m a n m a y be found, one who is really competent to do the work of Bible woman, and that she m a y be able to' visit the w o m e n in their homes, as there are a number desirous of studying the Bible.

MASKAT Evangelistic— Miss Lutton. Medical— Dr. Hosmon. Miss Lutton is cheered by the good attendance of Moslem w o m e n at the Sunday services. O n leaving, some express their thanks, while others ask forgiveness of God for listening to such heresy! Of her Sunday school she writes: “Early on Sunday mornings a Sunday school has been held for Baluchi children with an average attendance of forty. Sometimes they assemble as early at 6 A. M. One morning at 6:20 they sent an ultimatum to say that if I did not come they would not wait any longer! The teacher is not allowed to use notes or get drowsy. I dare not take m y eyes off them for one second. They have not been used to order or discipline. Their singing has wonderfully improved; at first it was as much I could do to keep the tune, but perseverance is winning the day and some can now sing so that one can recognize

• On furlough. the hymn. W h e n I pass near their homes I a m greeted with great cordiality and a m startled with a new version of a hymn: ‘Salaam Bebi. Hallelujah, A m e n !' ” House to house visitation has been kept up, and Miss Lutton is cordially received even where the hearts are closed to her message. She has been teaching English and reading Scripture with a cousin of the Sultan of Maskat and found an exceedingly bright pupil in the Sultan’s niece, who is also his prospective daughter-in-law! In closing her report, Miss Lutton writes: “Miriam (Marash’s wife) has made good progress and has been fearless in her testimony. She is a great help to her husband. But because of the hostility of some of their kinsmen and because of our absence, I thought it wiser for them to spend the summer in Kuweit, where I knew they would have spiritual help and more liberty than in Maskat. Until one is living right in with the Moslems one cannot understand what a young convert has to go through with daily. Marash has read the Scripture portion every Sunday in the Arabic service. His mother is more reconciled but it is very hard for her; her mother-love is sorely tested. She now allows her son to read in her home but she is very ignorant and superstitious. It is no w known all over Maskat that Marash is a Christian and has come out of Islam. H e is greeted sometimes in derision, ‘Salaam! Oh, Nasrani!’ Others treat him with scorn and contempt. His devotion and faith in Christ have strengthened and helped me. I thank God and take courage.” Dr. H o s m o n considers that from a missionary viewpoint the medical work of the past year is the best she has ever known; she thanks Go d for it and for the m a n y at home who have been praying her through. One bright lad from Soraail was a special encouragement. H e memorized all the lessons she gave him, besides m a n y Bible texts, the Lord’s Prayer, Ten Commandments and even a part of the shorter catechism and learned to make little prayers of his own before leav­ ing the hospital. Every evening Dr. H o s m o n has been giving Bible instruction with prayer to her servant and hospital employees and afterwards has had a prayer service with her two nurses, with w h o m she also has a Bible class on Sunday afternoons. During the month of Ramadan, while the hospital work was slack, she had been teach­ ing her “boy” to read. Of one of her touring trips she writes as follows: “One of the most delightful experiences I had last year was m y short trip to Seeb. I had an excellent opening into the hearts of many. After the day’s work was over, both me n and w o m e n gathered in and around m y date hut for a Gospel service. I never had such an experience before, when the Arabs collected at the sound of a baby organ and listened to the N e w Testament lessons, the Ten C o m ­ mandments and a Psalm, besides two or three hymns. They called for the fifty-first Psalm nearly every night. Seeb is attractive with its pretty date and mango gardens, and the Arabs seem sincere in their hospitality. The Wali urged m e to spend at least six weeks or two months there every year. His letter to the local Government of Maskat was full of gratitude and appreciation of m y visit.” O n another trip, which included visits to Suwaik and Hazam, she and her nurse were guests of the Governor and his sister, who showed them every possible attention, and furnished new rooms ’ for them. A m o n g her patients was a very influential Sheikh, who was considered to be the only one who could keep peace among the surrounding Bedouins. She found him desperately ill, with a temperature of 105°, and delirious, and he responded very quickly to her treatment and made a rapid recovery. Wh en she bade him goodbye he informed her that he was going to build her a house and wanted her to stay with him and his mother. At H a z a m they stayed in a large and very old fort— the strongest in Oman. There she had a wonderful opportunity to give the Gospel message and was listened to with most respectful attention even by the Sheikhs!

BASRAH Educational— Miss Charlotte B. Kellien, assisted by Miss Rachel Jackson. Evangelistic— Mrs. John V a n Ess, assisted by Miss Ruth Jackson. Miss Kellien reports as follows: The problem of teachers has been the most acute question of the past year. Even since the beginning of the present term, one, after only five months of service, has threatened to leave if her salary is not raised, and another, without a word of warning, has gone to India with an invalid brother. Added to the difficulty of persuading young w o m e n teachers to leave their homes in Mardin and Mosul for Basrah with its poor health record, we now have to reckon with the Govern­ ment schools. Those responsible for these schools are exceedingly anxious to make them a success and, since there are practically no Moslem graduates available, they draw their teachers from mission schools, offering them twice the amount that we can pay and increas­ ing their salaries if they show signs of restlessness. This makes the teachers very independent and, unless they can be made to look on their work as an opportunity for Christian service, it is almost im­ possible to retain an adequate staff. The pupils who left us when the Government school was opened last November have not returned, although there has been considerable dissatisfaction in regard to their progress, or lack of it. To the majority of Moslems in Basrah a knowledge of the Koran on the part of their daughters far outweighs all the admitted superiority of mission schools. Several new Moslem pupils were added to our roll during the year, but the majority are from poor families and are not likely to complete the course. The attendance in Ashar has also suffered since the opening of the other school, probably because of the influence of newspaper articles recalling parents to a sense of their religious obligations where their children are concerned. In all that was written of the new venture, the fact of religious instruction was emphasized, and m a n y parents who could not send their daughters into Basrah City have decided to have them read with a mullah, or said they were too big to go about in the street every day. The Catholics in Ashar have given up their school for girls because of lack of funds, and we could fill our building with them if we would. M a n y of them, perhaps, need real Gospel teaching as much as the Moslems, but we cannot receive them to the exclusion of the latter. W h e n teachers and desk accommodations are both limited, there has to be a dividing line somewhere. If the summer vacation has its advantages as far as health is concerned, it also has its disadvantages in removing the girls from our direct daily influence for such a long period. One of our recent graduates, a girl of character and ability, loving and lovable, on w h o m prayers and hopes have been centred, seems more Moslem than before. She spent a great deal of time during the holidays at Koran readings and in the society of older women, and this association has had its effect on her mind, her ambition and whole outlook. Seeing this waning interest in her has deepened an old conviction that something ought to be done for our girls during the summer, even if it be noth­ ing more than weekly gatherings for games and sewing. They are all much interested in the addition of Indian club exercises to the daily program and, when the weather permits, a basketball team is to be started in each school. Even the older girls are children in their love of play, and games should have a larger place in our plans for the future of the schools. A playground, containing even a few of the delights of American childhood, would be of incalculable value here in promoting both the physical and moral welfare of our pupils, whose girlhood is so brief and so barren of youth’s bright dreams. This winter it was a joy to have the first two Moslem graduates receive their diplomas and later to add them to the teaching staff. They continue to have an English lesson every day and in this way, as well as in the daily fellowship of school life, we hope to keep fresh in their minds the teachings of Jesus Christ. O n the spiritual side, the report must be the same as that of last year: a growing acquaintance with the Gospel story on the part of the pupils, but no indication of readiness to accept its message for them­ selves. We crave your prayers that our Saviour may become more manifest in the lives of our Christian pupils, and that He may win for Himself the full devotion of many Moslem hearts. Mrs. V a n Ess has written a charming description— too long, alas, to be reproduced here!— of two days in a missionary’s life, one spent in receiving, the other in making calls in and around Basrah.* One or two quotations must suffice. She writes of one woman, “the daughter of a Mullah, and a Mullaya herself, who is in a constant turmoil over the management of her small property and her worthless husband and brother, yet she somehow maintains an intensity of interest, and eagerness and ardent spirit in seeking after the truth, that makes her at once a joy and a despair. She is one of the m a n y who go so far and no farther! She has seen the Light shining a long wa y off and would like to follow it, but her feet are tangled in the immediate cir­ cumstances of her life.” Of her visiting in connection with the ad­

* Published in leaflet form as “The Human Touch." ministration of a Poor Relief Fu nd (raised by a few public spirited Arabs) she writes: “W e see such appalling destitution and misery as make our heart sick, the old, the sick, little children, the feeble minded people, cold and wet and nearly naked. These are the sights that make one lose all sense of proportion and we feel we have no right to good dinners, w a r m clothes and comfortable beds. The Golden Thread which runs through our days, unifying and glorifying them, is the universal eagerness for friendship on the part of all the women, rich and poor, high and low, and the wonderful opportunity of in­ terpreting Christ to them as the greatest Friend of all. The life histories that I have heard during the past winter have been almost unbelievable revelations of what Moslem womanhood is called upon to endure, as a matter of course, as a result of the social system of Islam. There is a temptation to feel discouraged with the vastness and ap­ parent hopelessness of our task, and it is a comfort to remember that Christ’s own daily life was made up of intimate personal contacts, and that it was through the ‘human touch/ as well as by addressing the multitudes, that H e reached the hearts of men and women.”

B A H R E I N • Evangelistic— Mrs. Gerrit J. Pennings. Educational— Mrs. Louis P. Dame. Medical— Miss Cornelia Dalenberg. Mrs. Pennings reports that the W o m e n ’s Evangelistic W o r k differs little from year to year, and adds: A stronger emphasis has been placed this past year on calling in the homes. The Sunday school class and the reading classes were dis­ continued and the w o me n were urged to attend the Sunday morning services and the informal Tuesday afternoon meetings. W e then used more of our time and energy where they were most needed, in the homes, in the hospital wards, and in the morning services at the clinic. In all this work— the Tuesday meeting, the calling, the receiv­ ing and hospital evangelism— all the lady missionaries contributed generously, and the Bible w o m a n gave faithful and efficient service. The Bible w o m a n averaged about twenty-five calls in homes every month. I made about twenty long calls a month and the language students did a good deal of their calling separately. Visiting in Moharrekj Jafair and Bedaia can hardly be called tour­ ing but rather whole day visiting. W e had m a n y such pleasant days out. The visit to Bedaia was much less exhausting by taxi-car than by donkeys; consequently we were fresher to give more to the people to w h o m we were taking the message. W e found it a great help to have the use of the medical Ford during the latter part of the summer to call on the summer guests that live at some distance. The intensive and extensive work always go on side by side; old contacts are deepened and new ones made as the opportunity is given. It is difficult to measure spiritual growth. In U m Tarrar’s case I merely want to state that I a m always pleased with her deep spiritual appreciation and the evident signs of a true spiritual life. She is somewhat less concerned than last year about what people think, but because of the claims of her children, she does not feel that she should confess Christ openly by receiving baptism. W e were glad to find that the foster-sister of the young m a n who is so earnestly seeking Christ is also very keen in her appreciation of the wonder and beauty of the Gospel narrative. A n d his sister, w h o m we knew ten years ago. is friendly though more reserved. The mother also was very cordial and knew of her son’s visit to the mis­ sionary. We recommend to you for intercession the whole family, as well as all the work, that the Lord may soon grant definite fruit to the work of so many years.” N o report has been sent in for the educational work at Bahrein, but Miss Conklin and others who have visited it characterize it as “charming” and “splendid,” and Miss Conklin writes that the school girls gave their little drama for her and were delightfully entertained by it, themselves, as well. • Miss Dalenberg has passed her first year’s examination, and is now in charge of the nursing at the Mason Memorial Hospital. Only six beds there are allotted to the w o m e n of Bahrein, and they frequently overflow into the quarantine quarter of the hospital. N o other pro­ vision is made in Bahrein for w o m e n and children, and there is an insistent demand for a w o m a n ’s hospital, for which land has been promised as a gift. Dr. Dame reports that the w o m e n ’s work was closed down for about three months, but can nevertheless report progress. Nurse Sundri carried on tirelessly and loyally, and in July a new nurse came from Dr. B r ow n’s hospital in Ludhiana. She has already proven herself a great help. Nurse Sundri has a great m a n y out-calls and with a second nurse the morning clinics are looked after with much more regularity than was possible before. Nu m b e r of clinic treatments, 5,978; number of out-calls, 561; number of in-patients, 72. “W e are having new beds and bedside tables made for the w o m e n ’s ward and hope to be able to keep that room looking the way a hospital ought to look.”

KUWEIT Medical— Mrs. E. E. Calverley, M.D., assisted by Mrs. Mylrea. Evangelistic— Miss Scardefield and Miss Strang. Miss Va n Pelt left for her furlough in March, 1923; Mrs. Calverley did not return to the field until January, 1924, and Miss Strang was studying Arabic, which left the bulk of both medical and evangelistic work for w o me n in Mrs. Mylrea's capable hands with the assistance of a trained Indian nurse. Mrs. Mylrea writes: The work has been intensely interesting. There are always a fair number of Bedouin, who keep us on the ju mp with their impatience, and small children who are afraid we are going to do something awful to them and deafen us with their screams. W e have had w o m e n from the palace as well as from the poorest homes. B y far the most co m m o n complaint is trachoma and its sequel trichiasis, and a large number of w o m e n have been relieved of the pain from eyelashes lying on the eyes and have gained their sight because they have been able to open their eyes once more after being operated on. It is very difficult to impress upon them the fact that the cause has not been removed and that they must therefore go on treating the trachoma. One day three little Sulubi girls came. The youngest, about eight years old, was quite unable to open her eyes because the lashes were turned in and lying on the eyes. W e per­ suaded her to let the doctor operate, which was not so simple as it usually is because this child would have to have chloroform. H o w ­ ever, the child was brave, and a few days after the operation she found that she could open her eyes wide. She has lost all her fear of us and is willing to go down to the sea for a bath after she has been treated, which I consider means progress in a Bedou. Only the other day these three little girls had their hearts gladdened by gowns from the Guild boxes to replace the rags which were hanging on them. Prayers have been held according to the usual custom every morn­ ing, and we have some very attentive listeners. Miss Strang has helped in these services. The number of new cases treated was 2,177, an average of 181 a month. The number of old cases treated was 4,984, an average of 416 a month. The Indian nurse is very conscientious and an untiring worker. One hundred and seventeen operations were performed. There have been two deaths, both following abdominal operations. T w o hundred and eighty-eight professional visits have been made during the year. O n the whole I think we should feel encouraged. ‘The w o m e n are under no delusion— I do not pose as a doctor. Some think it is just m y modesty that makes m e say it; m a n y others know that I a m not, but that I can do more for them than their own people. Their faith in their own readings and medicines and treatments is very strong in spite of failures and very often by the time they come to the dispensary they are in a bad way and think we ought to be able to perform miracles. Aside from the physical benefit to the w o m e n and children the medical work gives us a splendid opportunity to tell them the way of salvation and show them the love of Christ by our service. W e had a warm welcome on our return from America and were busy with callers and calls for some time. I found most of m y old friends, and new ones had been made during m y absence, so that the circle of acquaintance was larger. One hundred and thirteen visits have been made and there have been 255 callers at the house. Perhaps it was after being in civilized countries for a little while or perhaps it was really a fact— I a m inclined to think it was the latter— that there seemed to be more opposition towards us as Chris­ tians and as foreigners than before I went home. I cannot help feel­ ing that the fanaticism means that m a n y down in their hearts know that we have something in our lives which gives us joy and peace but they are afraid to come into too close contact with us because they are not willing to pay the price. The two w o m e n who have been so devoted to the w o m e n mission­ aries of Kuweit continue to be friends. I cannot say that either'of them has any desire to know more of the wa y of salvation, but they have to listen to the Old, Old Story if they want our friendship and love. Through the kindness of a friend at home I brought out a few framed pictures for the walls of m y mejlis, and one of them is the Good Shepherd holding the gate open for the sheep to come. One day that picture was hung in a different place. One of these two friends came in and sat down and in a few minutes asked m e where that picture was and was so glad when I put it back in its place. She said, “I love to look at it.” I said, “Y o u kn ow what it means, don't you?” and she said, “Yes, and I love it.” One w o m a n w h o m we first got to know through the hospital in the early days, who has been growing weaker all these years, passed away early in July. W e have all loved and cared for her and she has been shown the love of Christ her Saviour, but, although she said she believed in Christ, she died a Moslem as far as we know. Miss Strang made visits in the hospital and in the houses and was always ready to help in every way. I have no record of her visits. The Sunday afternoon service for Moslems in the town has been well attended by the women. M a n y of these w o m e n are slaves from the richest houses, which means that we can hope that the message is being carried to the homes. I have one friend, a gentlewoman, who likes to come dressed in old clothes, but for the last few months she has kept away because one of their slave girls comes and she is afraid she will be recognized. Every Sunday morning while the men's Sunday school was going on, I had Sunday school in English in m y mejlis for Mrs. Shah Riza and her three little girls and the hospital nurse. This summer, Miriam (Marash's wife), and sometimes the sweeper’s wife joined us. A n Arab friend, who understands only Arabic, came several times and brought her two little girls. The second Sunday she was able to give a very good resume of the lesson of the Sunday before. I hope she will come again from time to time, although it is easier to teach in only one language. So much of the evangelistic work has had to be left undone be­ cause of the pressure of the medical work, that whoever takes it up this year will find plenty to do. As far as I can see, we are still preparing the ground. The pic­ ture in the Parable of the Sower is so true— so much seed seems to fall on hard, stony ground, but surely there is good ground as well, and may God grant the harvest.

AMARA Evangelistic— Mrs. Dykstra. Mrs. Dykstra reports 161 calls made in Amara, and 265 received from adults, besides 157 children. In only about one-third of the visits made was she able to read a passage of Scripture. The effendi class generally expect socials calls and prefer to talk about the latest style in clothes and hairdressing. M a n y of the effendi w o m e n can read, but very, very few of the Arabs. There were, however, a few houses where it was an inspiration to bring the message because of the attentive listeners, especially in one family, where a baby boy had died and the mother asked for “So me­ thing from the Book to lift up the heart.” The lives of these w o me n arc hard and barren beyond imagination, while the me n sit around doing nothing but smoke cigarettes and drink tea. M a n y are too poor to buy cigarettes, and so use the cast off ends thrown away by wealthier smokers! The mourning for the dead includes from seven to ten days of wailing, disfiguring themselves, tearing out their hair, throwing them­ selves into water or fire, and yet they say: “If we do not mourn properly, we are beaten.” The little space on the ground floor of the missionary house, fitted up to receive Arab women, has been much used, and a fan was rented for about two months and proved a great blessing, as much because of the flies the w o me n bring in as because of the heat. Five girls have been regular attendants at the Sunday services, and about as ma ny women. Mrs. Dykstra has been giving reading lessons to five pupils, of w h o m one was Naeeina, her “sweeper boy,” who shows a growing faith in Christ. One of A H ’s sisters was baptized on Christmas Sun­ day, and another sister is much interested in Christianity, while their mother accepts the Gospel teachings but cannot break away as yet from Islam. The whole family are giving evidence of their Christian faith. . A small stock of medicines was purchased and some 800 simple treatments given to those who could not be persuaded to go to the Civil Hospital. This hospital is not equipped to care for women, and a Mission Hospital for them would open up m a n y opportunities and be a great influence for good. Mr. and Mrs. Dykstra spent about five months, all told, in touring on the water-ways of Mesopotamia in the launch “Milton Stewart.” It proved quite comfortable as a temporary home, and the number of miles travelled was about 2,500. The large number of villages along their route was a great surprise to them. In the 88 miles up the Euphrates alone, they counted more than 600 villages— from Basrah to A m a r a 386, from A m a r a to Kut 170. The whole experience of the villagers is that of war, enemies, spies and treachery; so they were not always welcomed with open arms, but they felt that they were at least preparing the soil for future work. The tented Arabs keep fierce dogs as a protection against robbers. The children and older people, too, are like wild animals, wearing little or no clothing even in winter. Old people, especially women, are “not wanted” and are sometimes fed starvation rations to hasten their death. Of one of her touring experiences, Mrs. Dykstra writes: “F r o m Nasiriya I made one trip in company of a caravan to a town called Baheeza, fifteen miles out. I should have liked to go along to Shattra, the end of the caravan route, but it was not deemed wise. Police escort is sent along with all who make these trips into the desert. It was a pleasant experience for us and a surprising one too, that we could be entertained in one hut co m m o n to men and women, for amongst these tribal Arabs there is not the separation between men and women, and, while this m a y not always be desirable, yet the absence of that blighting division was very refreshing to us. Some few places lend themselves to m a n y calls because of their position along the river, and the more frequent calls in these have secured for us some sort of welcome. Most of our visits liave been with the sheikhs, since courtesy demanded their recognition, but there is a dis­ advantage in calling on them or being entertained by them, because they think it necessary to keep the people away from us. In one place I was twice denied permission to call on the w o m e n of the sheikh’s household, but later I learned that his wife had died and it was beyond the pale of their imagination that I would like to call on the c o m m o n folk! Upon m y third attempt I got into a tent which at once was packed to the utmost with a curious crowd. The tent was banked within and without with brushwood, but in spite of this, the hostess insisted upon making tea, when every moment her clothing was in danger of being burned as, with her flowing garments, she stepped over the brush fire which was on the ground. In the crowd babies were handed about like saucepans and the place was black with flies, so that conversation became a matter of skill. But in the midst of these most unlikely surroundings, from seventy-five to a hundred women, boys and girls listened to the parable of the Prodigal Son.” She writes in closing: “Reviewing the year’s activities is easy com­ pared with a review of objects obtained. The field is so large, the needs so many, our strength so weak, we must often acknowledge that we are but unprofitable servants! It is but little that we could do over against the m a n y needs in this one part of our field. Our feeling of helplessness is like that of the disciples who had only the five loaves and the two fishes and we, too, exclaim, ‘Wh a t are these among so m a n y ? ’ As then, so now, the Lord alone can give the increase, H e alone can feed the multitude, H e alone can open their hearts and minds to receive the truth. A n d our past experiences, personal and as a mission, whisper in our hearts, ‘He will!’”

BAGHDAD

Evangelistic— Mrs. Bilkert. Mrs. Bilkert writes: “Baghdad still remains an untouched city as far as missionary work is concerned. In March, 1923, we left for America, but our stay in Baghdad has left upon m y mind a great im­ pression. That great network of narrow streets leading in and out between the high walls of the houses, the ever-changing stream of people, the sounds, the smells— all this and much more, constitutes Baghdad. It has all the vices and disadvantages of a large city and none of its virtues. As yet there is no mission school, no mission hospital, no mission chapel. 56 IVomaris Board of Foreign Missions

Are there any converts in Baghdad? A w a y back in a little by­ street, in one small room with no light save a small door, I said fare­ well to the one Arab w o m a n who dared to call herself a Christian. Her little boy, who had never known a square meal, smiled and wished us God-speed. A n d as there was no one to succeed us in Baghdad, this frail mother and her boy were to be left alone! A n d there are secret believers, seen and known only by H i m who sees in secret. Such a one allowed her only son to be baptized and is being taught by him. If there were only several missionary families to live along­ side these people to help them, sympathize with them, understand them, ho w ma ny would be wo n to Christ! The East changes slowly. A n Oriental city changes even more slowly. But God has granted us to see changes even in Baghdad.

K ate V. .S. O lcott, Secretary for Arabia. Annual Reports for the Year Ending May, 1924

THE CORRESPONDING SECRETARY In presenting the Fiftieth Annual Report of the W o m a n ’s Board of Foreign Missions, we remind ourselves that the first Annual Meet­ ing of the Board was held in the month of M a y following its organi­ zation in January, 1875, so that our Fiftieth Annual Meeting and our Fiftieth Anniversary antedate by several months our actual Fiftieth Birthday. This being a report, therefore, not of the still uncompleted fifty years, but of a part of the 49th and a' part of the 50th year, we dismiss the temptation to reminiscence and “invite your attention” to the story of the year no w closing. For convenience we shall call it our Fiftieth Year. The Annual Report for 1923 ended with the announcement of plans for Our Golden Jubilee. Since that day the song of Jubilee has been upon the air and all the working of the year has been permeated with the Jubilee spirit. “Y e shall hallow the Fiftieth Year” was the watch­ word sounded out to the churches, blazoned on our stationery, graven on our hearts. Though the Jubilee Year did not properly begin until January, 1924, the months of preparation for it in 1923 gave evidence that the spirit of that watchword had been caught by individuals and by organizations. In this lies our hope of achieving our high purpose that, through the observance of this hallowed year, “there m a y come to our whole Reformed Church a mighty spiritual uplift, which shall be felt in every congregation and in every home.” Surely it was more than a coincidence that in this year, when the W o m a n ’s Board had summoned all the w o m e n and children of the Church to united intercession, the International ^Missionary Council, which at its meeting at Oxford in July had proposed a Universal D a y of Prayer, changed that proposal later to a “Year of Universal Intercession,” thus gathering up our world-wide circle of intercessors into a mightier throng of men, w o m e n and little children of every tongue and color and nation, bound by the gold chain of perpetual intercession about the feet of God. “A n d evermore the Father sends radiantly down . All marvelous responses, His ministers to crown; The incense cloud returning as golden blessing showers, W e in each drop discerning some feeble prayer of ours Transmuted into wealth unpriced by H i m who giveth, thus, The glory all to Jesus Christ, the gladness all to us!” Go d himself has hallowed our Fiftieth Year by promoting into His presence three of our fellow-workers. W e little guessed at the beginning of the year which of our members H e would honor thus. H e has called them one by one, each in her ow n order: M a r y 0. Duryee from America, Jennie M. Kuyper from Japan, Annie E. 58 WomavCs Board of Foreign Missions

Hancock from India.* Walking even here in the light of His counten­ ance though tried as by fire, they have attained the glory to which “the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared.” Our sacred fellowship with them is not broken. Somewhere, we be­ lieve, they still work with us for the Ki ngdom and rejoice in the signs of its coming. They see clearly while our eyes are holden; to them are revealed the secret things that w e cannot yet understand. 0 blest communion, fellowship divine! . W e feebly straggle, they in glory shine; Yet all are one in Thee, for all are Thine. Alleluia! The year has been hallowed, too, by the rekindling of hearts grown cold and the dedication of lives to Christ’s service. It was said in advance of the' Student Volunteer Convention held at Indianapolis in January that the vital test of the convention would be its influence on the offering of students’ lives for the service of God. The offering of life,,far more than the offering of money, is the test of our achieve­ ment in this Fiftieth Year. Already our hearts are gladdened by reports of the earnest co-operation of the w o m e n of the churches. Forty-four new missionary Auxiliaries] have been formed, including the thirty-six groups of young women reported today by the Field Sec­ retary for Young W o m e n ’s Work. A number of Ladies> Aid Societies that have hitherto centred their attention upon the local church.and its needs have lifted up their eyes, looked on the wider fields and thrown in their fortunes with ours. A considerable increase in the membership of Societies has been reported from m a n y quarters. The new H o m e Department is providing a channel for the awakened sympathy of hundreds of women who have hitherto been out of touch with missionary interests because of their inability to attend meetings. But richer by far than the offering of part-time service by the w o me n in the home churches is the dedication of young lives for full­ time service on the Mission Field. Of the five young w o m e n recorded last year as “under appointment” three are no w in the field, acquiring that difficult “other tongue” in which to tell to every w o m a n in her own language the wonderful works of God: Miss Harriet Brumler in India, Miss Cynthia Borgman and Miss A l m a Mathiesen in China. Miss Maria Cupery, for personal reasons, has withdrawn her applica­ tion. Miss Caroline Ingham, daughter of the well-known and well­ loved Executive Secretary of the Progress Council, is completing a special educational course at Columbia University. Miss Ingham and Miss Ruth Broekema, who has been studying at the Kennedy School of Missions at Hartford, will receive their commissions today for service in India and China respectively. Miss M a r y Geegh, a gradu­ ate of H o p e College, is under appointment to India. Others have freely offered themselves for this service. So me of them will yet be counted among our Jubilee Missionaries; others, denied this high privilege because of age or physical disability or lack of qualification

* Minutes in memory of Miss Kuyper and Miss Hancock are recorded on another page of the Year Book. t The list of these new societies will be found on page 79. for the particular positions to be filled, have accepted a disappoint­ ment the bitterness of which is known only to themselves and to God and have bravely taken up the home tasks in the same spirit of self­ dedication. A number of churches have leaped to the opportunity of serving by proxy in the Mission Field by claiming the privilege of support­ ing their ow n daughters at salaries varying from $700 to $1,050 a year. “For their sakes I sanctify myself” has been the unphrased, per­ haps half unconscious, motive of the w o m e n of the Board and the Missionaries on furlough who have given themselves to the arouse- ment of the churches on behalf of the w o m e n of other lands. Over 200 engagements for speakers have been made from R o o m Ten not including the regular Spring and Fall Conferences, the Jubilee Rallies, the young w o m e n ’s group meetings and the m a n y appointments filled by our Western Vice-Presidents and missionaries resident in the West, of which we have no formal report. The Field Secretary for Young Women’s Work records 64 engagements with Young Women’s So­ cieties. Special recognition is made here of the splendid service rendered throughout the year by Miss Lawrence, Miss Sarah Bussing, Mrs. E. S. Booth, Miss Katharine Greene and Miss M a r y V a n Pelt, upon w h o m the majority of these appointments have fallen. Grate­ ful acknowledgment is due also to Mrs. Garret Hondelink, who, hav­ ing earned her certificate at the Silver Ba y Conference of the Mission­ ary Education Movement in the summer of 1923, has given her time and talent liberally to the Church in the special service of Japan, to Dr. Eleanor Calverley for her tour of Poughkeepsie Classis, to Mr. V a n Peursem for his effective service in the Western Classical Con­ ferences, to Dr. Cantine for his help in the Fall Conferences in the East, to Miss Edwards, Dr. Booth, Miss Scardefield, Mr. Barny, Mrs. Talman, Mrs. Ruigh, Miss Morrison, Miss Lansing and Miss Berg. W e understand that other missionaries, too, have been active in our behalf in the Western societies. W e greatly regret that Miss A l m a Chamberlain, returned from her two years’ service in the W o m e n ’s Union Christian College at Madras, India, has been prevented by ill­ ness from sharing her experience with the churches. F r o m this long list of missionary speakers it appears that ma ny furloughs have fallen due simultaneously. W e welcome the home­ coming of our missionaries, both for the cultivation of their friend­ ship and for the inspiration they bring to the churches: yet we are always glad to sec them returning, invigorated, to their appointed fields, knowing how eagerly they are awaited by overburdened workers and by the hungry souls who faint to receive from their hand the Bread of Life. This year has seen the departure of Mrs. John Scudder with her daughter “Dr. Ida” and Miss Gertrude Dodd, who, though they no w belong to the Union Missionary Medical College at Vellore are still “our missionaries,” and of Dr. Louisa Hart to her hospital at Madanapalle. Since her arrival in India Dr. Hart has again been honored by the Government of India by decoration with the Second Degree Kaiser i Hind medal in recognition of her public service. Dr. and Mrs. Oilmans have returned with their daughters 60 Woman's Board of Foreign -Missions

Evelyn and Janet to Japan. Arriving within a few weeks after the earthquake, Dr. Oltmans served as Acting Principal of Ferris Semi­ nary during the difficult days of its re-establishment in the temporary barracks in which it is now housed and from which, by the almost' superhuman effort of Miss Jeane Noordhoff and her assistants, a senior class was actually graduated last month. Dr. and Mrs. Cantine have returned to the new union mission work in Mesopotamia, with headquarters at Baghdad, Dr. and Mrs. Harrison, the two Drs. Calverley and Miss Scardefield are at Kuweit. Miss Katharine Green, having spent a month among the churches of the Middle West in the interest of the Jubilee, has arrived at the Pacific coast en route for China, where she will spend the remainder of a very active furlough in the study of Mandarin at Peking as preparation for future work in the North River District. Mrs. Henry J. Scudder, leaving all her children in America, has rejoined her husband in India, taking up evangelistic missionary work in Punganur. Though her name is missing from the roll of Board Members, she has become, by adoption, a Missionary of the W o m a n ’s Board of Foreign Missions, and has been made doubly serviceable to us by appointment as our Jubilee Representative for the Arcot Mission and our special corres­ pondent for the Village Schools supported by the Sunday schools in America. Mrs. Scudder thought herself hardly worthy of recognition last year among those who had given twenty-five years to missionary service, but, in reporting her as “twenty-five years in India,” we knew that even when absent in the body her heart was always there. It will interest m a n y of the churches to know that Miss Leila Winn, detained for a time in this country by the invalidism of a sister, has returned to Japan as an independent missionary to engage in rescue work for Japanese women. W e record with regret the resignation of Mrs. W . A. Ackerman and Miss Ruth Hawley (Mrs. Bretz) from the Board and of Miss Edith Boynton from the A m o y Mission, also the loss of Mrs. Milton Webb, who has been for nearly four years a valuable member of the office staff in R o o m 10. W e are happy to welcome to the membership of the Board today Mrs. James D. Keith of Poughkeepsie, N. Y., Mrs. John W . Beardslee, Jr., of N e w Brunswick, N. J., and Mrs. A. D e Y o u n g of Grand Rapids, Mich. Time and space arc insufficient to record the changes that have taken place in the personnel of our Classical Committees, most marked in the Michigan Classes, which have been realigned during the'year.* W e wish to record with hearty appreciation, however, the ready responsiveness of the Committee members to ever}7 suggestion and request of the Jubilee Committee and their earnest co-operation in the Jubilee endeavor. Changes on the Mission Field that make imperative the sending of new missionaries are the transfer of Miss Delia Houghton to the Union Missionary Medical College at Vellore and the appointment of Miss Margaret Rottschaefer to that institution instead of to the Arcot Mission, the return to America of Miss Matilda Berg, the

* See pp. 7-8, and the Statistical Report, pp. 79 to 116. marriage of Miss Maude Scudder to Dr. Galen Scudder with conse­ quent transfer from Vellore to Kanipettai, and the sudden death of Miss Annie Hancock and Miss Jennie Kuyper. All these leave yawning gaps in the ranks, which must be filled if we are to advance and not retreat. Even before these losses there was a cry for re­ inforcements. W e appeal to the daughters of the Reformed Church in America to consider this high calling of God and the need of a world of w o m e n for them, and to dedicate their rich young lives to H i m “for their sakes.” As evidence of a growing sense of stewardship in the Church the Treasurer reports today, exclusive of gifts for the Jubilee fund: Total receipts for the year...... $208,074.78 Included in this are: Gifts for Japan Relief and Reconstruction...... $ 34,440.59 For the Basrah Missionaries’ H o m e (including a memorial gift of $1,000 for a special room).... 4,536.67 Five Annuity Gifts amounting to...... 3,200.00 Life Memberships ...... 1,250.00 Memorial Memberships ...... 200.00 Legacies: Estate of M a r y E. Sparks ...... 200.00 Estate of Maria F. Niven ...... 475.00 Estate of Sarah B. Reynolds...... 3,000.00 Estate of Nettie C. Vosburgh ...... 7,849.43 Addition to Clara D e Forest Burrell Evangelistic Fund ...... 2,000.00 The Mrs. Edward H. Peters Fund ...... 1,000.00 Special Gift for the Shanghai Union Medical School. 1,100.00 •Sunday School Contributions For Village Schools (39 specially supported)... 3,550.00 For Japan Sunday Schools (Foreign Missions Sunday offering) ...... 864.89 The North Church of Passaic, no w combined with the First (Acquackanonck) Church, gives .us the annual interest on $5,000.00 with the promise of the principal later. Notable gifts in smaller amounts have come from our Indian Missions at Colony, Lawton and Winnebago, from our Kentucky Mountain Mission Stations at Annville, Gray H a w k and M c K e e for Japan Relief and Reconstruction and for education of children in foreign lands, and from D e Heidenwereld. The Indian w o m e n of Lawton, Oklahoma were among the first to respond to the appeal for the Five Hundred Dollar Fu nd to “Give the Chinese Child a Chance” allotted to Junior Endeavor and Children’s Societies. In this connection it is interesting to note the reciprocity of Chris­ tian charity practised by the school children of China and Japan. A s last year the pupils of our schools in Japan sent contributions in aid of the famine sufferers in China, so this year the pupils in our *

* Generous Christinas gifts from Sunday schools for Reconstruction and Relief Work in Japan are included in the Total ($34,440.59) reported above. schools in China have sent to the relief of earthquake sufferers in Japan. That, in spite of the large receipts here recorded, the Board closes the year with a debt to the contingent fund of $4,180.46 for the regular work is due, we are sure, not to a lack of willingness nor to a lack of ability on the part of the Church, but to a lack of realiza­ tion of the importance of paying in every available dollar before the closing of the books on April 30th. \Ve know of societies and Sun­ day schools that are still holding in their treasuries funds which, if they had been remitted before the end of the fiscal year, might have saved us from this embarrassment. The first public offering for our Golden Jubilee was the Birthday Gift of $4,615.58 in memo ry of Miss Kuyper, to be applied to a residence for unmanned w o m e n missionaries in Japan. The total amount received for the Jubilee offering to M a y 1, 1924, is $25,816.66, more than half of which was contributed by the Members and Life Members of the Board before the public announcement of the financial goal. A detailed report of the Jubilee Fund will be published at the close of the campaign. So me of the important payments made during the year were as follows: For Japanese Relief in the earthquake disaster...... $4,304.25 For temporary buildings and equipment for Ferris Semi­ nary ...... O',000.00 To repair the Missionaries’ H o m e at Chiang-chiu, the Girls’ School at Tong-an, the wall and grounds washed out by torrential rains at Shimonoseki...... 5,300.00 To complete the $7,000 payment for the Sherman M e m o r ­ ial Girls’ High School at Chittoor...... 4,000.00 To enlarge the W o m a n ’s School at A m o y ...... 325.00 According to agreement with the Union Missionary Medical College at Vellore, the interest on the M a r y Taber Schell Hospital endowment and supported beds ($2,547.13) was this year, for the first, paid to the American Committee, with $l,695j special gifts for the School sent through our Treasury. A n d what more shall we say of the Jubilee? W e cannot reduce the spirit of a movement to numerical figures; yet numbers are not without significance. Five hundred churches are co-operating through 527 W o m e n ’s Societies, 112 Young W o m e n ’s Societies, 50 Children’s Societies and 196 Bible Schools. B y the middle of May, 28 Jubilee Rallies will have been held in 26 Eastern Classes and 21 in the West under the direction of Mrs. W a y e r and Mrs. Pietenpol, Vice-Presi­ dents for the Synods of Chicago and Iowa. W e have distributed: 26.500 Intercession Folders 16.500 Children’s Prayer Cards 10.000 W h y you Should Belong to the Missionary Society 15.000 W h a t Your Jubilee Dollars will D o 3.500 Histoiical Sketches 900 Programs 4.500 Pledge Slips 3,600 Coupon Books 12.000 Children's Dime Cards 10.000 Mite Boxes, with orders on hand for 2,000 more. The Golden Jubilee posters and the “Pity Little Children” posters have been sent to all known Societies. Too much praise cannot be given to Miss M a u d e Emily Wood, the Executive Secretary of the Jubilee Campaign, and her assistant, Mrs. Evelyn Troast, for the efficient manner in which they have followed up the plans laid by the Jubilee Committee and its Campaign A d ­ visor, Miss Margaret Leech. They have handled with skill the infinite detail of the Jubilee Rallies and the tremendous work of filling orders, shipping at their busiest time as m a n y as 100 packages a day for several successive days. The mere work of keeping the records and files has been no small task in itself. W e are deeply grateful to the two members of the Board whose generosity has provided these extra workers, without w h o m it would have been altogether impossible to carry out so extensive and intensive a campaign. Miss W o o d has made forward-looking suggestions, which will be valuable after she leaves us in June. In a recent informal report she writes of the non-co-operating Societies: “Perhaps some of the apathetic ones might be inspired to do something if they get some idea of the tremendous force of a work of this kind, both for them­ selves and for others. I shall not be satisfied until we get some kind of reply from every church. I would rather have them say they can do nothing than never answer our appeals in any way. They can all pray.” ‘ , W e are grateful to m a n y good friends who have given hours of voluntary service in the Jubilee office and bespeak their future help when w e shall be bereft of our special helpers. Special mention must be made of Miss Elizabeth V a n Brunt's fine work in planning the children's part in the Jubilee, in designing the fascinating m a ­ terials provided for the children— the poster, the prayer calendar, and the “Tsao Tree” dime card— and in giving m a n y days out of a busy life to launch the children’s work. • Jubilee Representatives have been appointed in our four Foreign Mission Fields. The intercession folder has been translated into Telegu, and probably by this time into Tamil as well; The w o m e n of Siokh6, China, and the members of the “Women's Society” in Basrah, Arabia, are remembering the Jubilee in their weekly prayer meetings. Jubilee posters are upon the walls of m a n y a Mission church and school and'missionary home. Our sisters in India, China, Japan and Arabia are partners in our Jubilee aims and activities as they eventu­ ally will be sharers of our joy when our $100,000 goal is reached. A recent popular book of fiction depicts one of its characters by a simple incident. A young boy, reprimanded by his mother for shying a stone at a bird on a fence-rail, replies jauntily: “I wasn't going to hit it, I was only aiming at it.” Not so the W o m a n ’s Board of 64 IVOman’s Board of Foreign Missions

Foreign Missions in its Jubilee effort. It purposes to hit what it aims at. The Jubilee buildings must be buUt. W e have aroused the expectation of our workers; we cannot disappoint them. One-third of our year is up; one-fourth of our fund is in hand. W e must not relax our effort till our goal is won. The outstanding events of the year in which members of the Board have participated can merely be catalogued: the M a y Anni­ versary at the First Church of Passaic^ reported in the 1923 Year Book; the summer conferences at Northfield, Silver Bay, Lake Geneva and Winona, mentioned more fully in the Report of the Field Sec­ retary for Young W o m e n ’s Work; the impressive Memorial Services for Miss Jennie Kuyper at Pella on September 23rd and in N e w York City on November 13th with simultaneous services in our de­ nominational educational institutions in the 'West; our Forty-ninth Birthday party at the Marble Collegiate Church, with its inspirational program, the crowd of jolly girls at supper, Mrs. Romig’s charming “Scenes from Japanese Life” at the evening session and the superb presence and address of Miss Susie Sorabji; the Foreign Missions Conference at Atlantic City; the Federation of W o m e n ’s Foreign Missionary Societies, at which was launched the World Federation of Christian W o m e n , inspired by the suggestion of a Korean School Girl; the Student Volunteer Convention at Indianapolis with over 6,000 delegates and more than 50 Reformed Church representatives; the mass meeting of the W o m e n ’s National Committee for L a w E n ­ forcement, which is using the ready-made organization of the Wo m e n ’s Missionary Societies to promulgate its principles of Obedience to L a w and Allegiance to the Constitution. All these and m a n y more have claimed our attention and interest and co-operative action, until we sometimes incline to paraphrase the words of the Gentle Cynic and say: “Of making m a n y organizations there is no end, and much meeting is a weariness to the flesh”-even though it is also a stimulant to the mind and an invigorator of the spirit. This Hallowed Year has been a year of high lights and heavy shadows. As it has been shot through with the inspiration of Miss Kuyper’s heroic sacrifice, bringing to our recognition the life of quiet heroism that lay back of it, w e cannot better close the book of 1923 than in the words of one of Miss Kuyp er’s letters and every one of us say in her heart, thus: “I want a closer walk with God that will give m e a deeper sense of His guidance and direction in m y life and work, and a clearer appreciation of the greatness of every small opportunity.” “That lovely spirit is withdrawn from every shade of sin; A n d I, in sympathy with her, a holier life begin; Yes, to her new delight in Thee I, Lord, would enter in.”

MISS JENNIE M. KUYPER B y the deatli of Miss Jennie M. Kuyper, whose devotion to duty made her a victim of the earthquake and fire at Yokohama on Septem­ ber 1, 1923, the W o m a n ’s Board of Foreign Missions has lost one of its most able and consecrated missionaries. Quiet and reserved, yet ever most sympathetic and genial; patient, thorough and inspiring in her scholastic work; seeking constantly a closer walk with Go d for herself, and a surrender to the claims of Christ for her pupils; she exerted a strong influence upon the whole school throughout the years when she was a teacher in Ferris Seminary, an influence which continued in similar ways when she was an evangelist at Kagoshima. A n d when, distrusting her own ability but obeying what she felt to be the call of God, she became the Principal of Ferris Seminary, though permitted to serve but one brief year, her far-reaching plans for its educational work, and her constant emphasis of its Christian life, bore fruit to a noticeable degree, and promised to bear much more— a promise which, alas! she was not to see realized. He r life in m a n y ways was a triumph of faith in God, revealed increasingly as the years went by, and shown most clearly in the supreme test of its closing hour. Deeply as we feel her loss, she herself has bid us say, “It is G o d ’s will.” A n d from the heart we pray that, since the chariot of fire has parted her from us, a double portion of her spirit m a y fall upon those who have labored with her and upon all who knew and loved her. Minutes of the Woman’s Board of Foreign Missions, November 17, 1923.

MISS ANNIE E. HANCOCK Died of Asiatic Cholera, March 3, 1924 The W o m a n ’s Board of Foreign Missions desires to express its very deep sympathy with the Arcot Mission in the loss of one of its members, who for twenty-five years has devoted herself untiringly to the service of her Indian sisters, bearing witness among them to the Saviour’s love by word and by her consecrated life. The W o m a n ’s Board is grateful for all that the Master has achieved through her efforts and is confident that the influence of her Christian life will bear fruit for ma n y years. “He r life was one of sweet simplicity; Forgetting self, unconsciously each day, She taught the lesson of that sweet denial, The joy of those wh o on the altar lay . Their lives— to take them up again for others, W h o to the world deep joy and gladness bring, Fulfilling by their daily lives the message Which on the Christmas morn the angels sing.” Minutes of the Woman’s Board of Foreign Missions, April 8, 1924. EDITORIAL AND EDUCATIONAL SECRETARY The dual aim of the editorial and educational work is to broaden the views and thus enlist broader sympathy and understanding of the work of the Church and its Missions, which are the heart of the Church. Through the “Christian Intelligencer and Mission Field,” also “The Leader” and “D e H o p e ” our missionaries, messages have been given regularly, and a number of conferences, churches and societies have heard the story of the progress of the work. Several reasons have caused the output of leaflets to be larger than usual. T w o reprints were necessary, “Pity Little Children Hall” for the Baby Roll work and “M y Doctor Missie.” The C a m p . Eendracht delegates greatly appreciated the printing of Miss Buss’ letter, “Greetings from the Sunrise Kingdom,” which was distributed at the denominational rally. B y a strange Providence this past year, when Japan was the country being studied not only in the United States but also in Great Britain, where our text-book “Creative Forces” was used, the great catastrophe of September first focused the eyes of the world on the Island Empire. In consequence of the loss of Ferris Seminary a “Christmas Missionary Service” was prepared by the Boards of Foreign Missions for the Sunday Schools, which with its pictures impressed the need of reconstruction. • The leaflets for Foreign Missions Sunday were also on Japan, “Little Green Acorn,” and “Oechan and Kiyochan.” The sale of text-books as reported by the Board of Publication is “Creative Forces,” 223; “The W o m a n and the Leaven in Japan,” 380; “The Honorable Japanese Fan,” 104; Total, 707. For supplementary use by the auxiliaries in connection with the books the following series has been issued: Aya Kurihara After Graduation, Whatf My Album Wayside Glimpses Little Green Acorn Compensation Red School House. To meet the request for more literature in the Holland language the following have been translated and printed through the co­ operation of Rev. Mr. V a n Kersen, “Compensation,” “After Gradua­ tion, W h a t ? ” and “M y Doctor Missie.” ^ A part of Dr. Ida Scudder’s anniversary address has been printed with the title “The Parable of the Water Jars,” also Miss V a n Doren’s “Benares Box,” “That Their Joy Might Be Full” by Miss Matilda Berg, and “His Grace is Sufficient” by Dr. Eleanor Calverley. The Japanese Scenes written by Mrs. Romig and presented at the Birthday are n o w in leaflet form and meet the demand for such presentations by the societies. “In Saga Town,” a pictorial rhyme, has been prepared for the children, also “Give the Chinese Child a Chance.” W e have much pride in the fact that our President was again asked to prepare the service for the D a y of Prayer. Its inspirational character with the title “The Spirit of Power” gave it wide circu­ lation. The brief biographical sketches are filling a long-felt need and no w the cry comes for others. Those issued are the Misses Talmage, Zwemer and Beekman of China; Mrs. Honegger, the Misses J. C. Scudder, Va n Doren and Wyckoff of India; the Misses Couch, Lansing and Kuyper of Japan; there was also a memorial sketch of the latter, which has been received with sincere appreciation. Knowledge is responsibility, and in these days the Pauline advice comes with special emphasis: “Give attendance to reading,” coupled with the verse, “Understandest thou what thou readest?” ever r e me m­ bering that ours is the privilege of “hearing what the Spirit saith unto the churches.” O livia H. Lawrence, Editorial and Educational Secretary.

COMMITTEE ON YOUNG WOMEN’S WORK

The Calendar is not to be disputed but it seems incredible that a year has passed since the last report of our Committee on Young W o m a n ’s Work. Meetings have been held at irregular intervals when some phase of the work needed prompt attention and, though often hastily called, met with prompt response of our members, thus proving their loyal earnestness. There is no doubt that our Field Secretary, Miss Lang, is well adapted to the work she has undertaken. The challenge she is carry­ ing— not only to the young w o m e n but to the older w o m e n of our denomination— is a thrilling one and requires the courage of her convictions and a thorough consecration of heart and soul. Will you help her with your prayers? The great inspiration for our work this year comes from the Jubilee, and the study of the growth of missions during the past can­ not fail to prove an impetus to greater endeavor. W h e n you hear Miss Lang’s report which follows, you will realize that the future work of our denomination is in competent hands and that the lives coming forward are loyal and devoted to our Master. Louise de M und H egeman, . Chairman. FIELD SECRETARY FOR YOUNG W O M E N ’S WORK A report on Young W o m e n ’s W o r k for 1923-24 must needs be, as far as the Field Secretary is concerned, a report of beginnings. Coming into a work which had been without an official head for a year and a half, one might have expected confusion. Instead, the work seemed surprisingly in order and up-to-date, and great credit is due those who had given of their time and effort to keep it so. The first task seemed to be that of picking up loose ends, organ­ izing into something concrete the efforts of those who had been keeping the young w o m e n ’s work alive. The first step was to make quick contacts with the girls’ societies, and this was done, and has been done ever since, in every w a y possible. Northfield helped by its close touch with the girls from m a n y churches and varied localities, and as always it gave much to the girls in the wa y of information and inspiration, with C a m p Eendracht to bring them into closer touch with the work and workers of our ow n denomination. W e were fortunate in having such leaders as Mrs. Glen Sanders and Miss Frances V. Yoorhees, with Mrs. D. Y. B. H e g e m a n to help with her counsel and just by being there. T w o young missionaries under appointment to China (Miss A l m a M a ­ thiesen and Miss Cynthia Borgman) wo n the hearts of all the girls, while our beloved Miss Katharine R. Green arrived home on furlough from China just in time to spend the last days of the Conference with us. Our denominational meeting was a huge success, with a surprise for the girls in the form of a pictorial letter from Miss Florence Buss in Japan, prepared by Miss Lawrence as a message to the girls of C a m p Eendracht. • At Silver Bay, the young w o m e n of our Church attending the Student Conference were gathered together on various occasions by Miss Julia Florance, wh o represented the W o m e n ’s Boards of Mis­ sions. In her splendid report of this conference Miss Florance m e n ­ tioned seventeen Reformed Church girls in attendance, representing seven different Colleges and fourteen different churches. In October, 1923, the Field Secretary made a trip through the Western Classes, making m a n y contacts with the splendid young w o m e n of that section which gives to us the largest proportion of our missionaries. The character of the meetings was varied— W o m e n ’s Missionary Conferences, young women's group meetings, individual societies, besides incidental meetings, such as a Christian Endeavor meeting, a Chapel service at Central College, and a Y. W . C. A. meeting in Pella. Splendid itineraries had been arranged by Miss Jeanette Westveer and Miss A n n a Muilenburg, and there was one particularly busy week when the Field Secretary spoke in a different town every afternoon and evening. The three outstanding meetings of the trip were: a group meeting in Roselands Church, Chicago; a supper meeting of three hundred young w o m e n in Grand Rapids; and a meeting of Sioux County societies in Orange City, Iowa. The whole trip has proved invaluable to the Field Secretary in her work since then. The January Birthday Meeting of the W o m a n ’s Board of Foreign Missions brought together another large group of young women, when they filled both the upstairs and downstairs parlors of the Marble Collegiate Church, N e w York City. Here supper was served them, that they might hear special messages from some of the missionaries — Miss Mary Van Pelt and Miss Katharine Green— and Miss Caroline Ingham under appointment. The young w o m e n afterward attended the evening session in the church, and some participated in the “Japanese Scenes” prepared by Mrs. Edgar Franklin Romig. Several successful Classical Conferences for Young W o m e n have been held, and it is the hope of the Field Secretary that this idea of group meetings shall spread until every society be represented in some sort of group conference at least once a year. The experiment was tried this year in the Classis of Montgomery of including the young w o m e n specifically in the annual meeting of the W o m e n ’s Missionary Union. So me definite plan must be formulated to offer to the young w o m e n ’s societies for such group meetings. Because of the discovery that the girls and young w o m e n are really not well informed of the work of the W o m e n ’s Boards of Missions in general, and the work allotted to the young w o m e n in particular, a very definite campaign of education along that line has been carried on. The Y o un g W o m e n ’s Department in the “Intelli­ gencer” has been devoted for eight months to programs dealing with the Young W o m e n ’s Work, and a series of leaflets has been prepared and sent out to all societies. Miss Elizabeth V a n Brunt, because of the pressure of other work, was obliged to resign as editor of the Young W o m e n ’s Department representing the W o m e n ’s Board of Foreign Missions, and has been succeeded by Miss Frances V. Voorhees. Mrs. John Borg has kindly helped in the preparation of the leaflets. Northfield Camp Eendracht announcements for 1924 have been printed and distributed, and we are hoping for a record attendance. W e would emphasize once more the value to young w o m e n ’s societies of having delegates at such conferences. Miss Frances V. Voorhees is to be camp leader during the Foreign Mission Conference, and Mrs. Charles H. Bateman during H o m e Mission Week, with the Field Secretary assisting both. Miss M a r y V a n Pelt, the missionary of the young women, is to be the special camp guest at Northfield. A C a m p Eendracht Reunion and Luncheon was held on April 12, 1924, at the Hotel Breslin, N e w York City. For the first time, the girls of both H o m e and Foreign Weeks came together in such a gathering, with representatives of both W o m e n ’s Boards present to give a short message, and Mr. Paul A. Barackman as the principal speaker. The spirit that prevailed showed again ho w missionary work at home and abroad is so truly “all one.” In all her contacts, the Field Secretary has been stressing the importance of missionary work as a whole, emphasizing the real need for young w o m e n to stand behind it wholeheartedly, and the im­ portance of knowing their o w n work and supporting it to the fullest extent. She has tried,* too, to make very clear their responsibility to 70 Field Secretary for Young W o m e n ’s Work

younger groups, to see that every child and every girl m a y have the privilege and joy of a share in missionary work. “Get the next younger group,” we have given as a slogan. The Jubilee, of course, is being promoted, and we are urging that the young w o m e n make their Jubilee gifts real sacrifice gifts. In a last desperate effort at the close of the year, we more than met our quota of Ten Thousand Dollars for each of the W o m e n ’s Boards of Missions. Of necessity, our report has done little more than give the high lights. In work with young people, there are endless possibilities. Some of these possibilities, we are hoping, with G o d ’s help, to make facts. W e feel more strongly than ever the truth of the words with which we undertook the work, “ To know Christ is the whole of life; To make H i m known is the whole of service.”

R. M ildred Lang, Field Secretary for Young Women.

. THE BABY ROLL Again we are able to report an increase in the membership of the Baby Roll; 575 names have been added during the year. Month by 'month the list has appeared in the Christian Intelligencer and Mission Fild giving much satisfaction to those wh o have made, the children members of the Baby Roll. In the $744.10 paid to the W o m a n ’s Board of Foreign Missions, are included special gifts as well as membership fees. It is encouraging to have welcomed 21 churches not formerly represented in this work, making a total of 147 churches cooperating. The share assigned to the children in the Jubilee is the building of the “Pity Little Children H o m e ” at Amoy. The attractive poster, which no w adorns the walls of m a n y of our Sunday Schools, is arousing great interest, and the response of the children is most gratifying. The increasing interest in the work has necessitated a new edition of the Children’s H o m e leaflet. As one of the aims of the missionary societies' for the Jubilee is “Every w o m a n in the church a member of the society,” so our aim for this year will be “Every baby a member of the Baby Roll.” Caroline R aven M acLean, Secretary. SEWING GUILD The Sewing Guild Committee is pleased to report the year 1923 as its banner year in that more articles than ever before were sent to the foreign field, and in m a n y instances we were able to send the full number of garments asked for by the missionary. Heretofore, the supply has been less than the demand, and to the societies and individuals whose efforts have made this growth of our work possible, we desire to express our deep appreciation and sincere gratitude. W e were glad to report last year the increasing interest among the young people. Since then m a n y more of the societies have taken up our work, and it is not difficult to understand our success when we note the enthusiastic interest of these new workers. Joy in the service has been the keynote in the letters from the home societies. One Secretary writes: “W e have packed our box very carefully. The members have labored faithfully and are pleased over the work that has been accomplished. W e send it with our loving prayers that the articles m a y fill a need.” One young girl doing her first sewing for the Guild, remarked: “W h e n we make things we get interested in the people.” W e opened a box of beautifully made bandages and surgical dressings and found this note on top: “M a y these bring as much joy and pleasure to the hospital in India as they did to our members while making them. W e are so glad to render this little service.” In no other calling can one find such an appreciative group as those to w h o m the boxes are sent. F r o m the following letters we catch a glimpse of the pleasure our gifts afford: “The great joy of our year— the Sewing Guild boxes came last week! In order to make the pleasure last as long as possible we opened them, one by one, in the evenings after dinner at the close of our busy days. I can assure you that they afforded us real genuine enjoyment, far more than going to the movies could have done. Since we have no movies to go to we are not tempted to waste much valuable time in that way. I think you treated us wonderfully well. W e seemed to get just the things we especially needed. Our bandages and gauze had all but given out, and here were new bandages rolled ready for use, and gauze compresses folded and ready for the sterilizer; and the sheets, pillow cases and towels are so welcome. W e shall preserve them with care. The dolls were A No. 1 and all perfect! Never have we re­ ceived so beautiful and aristocratic a lot before. They must have slept most of the journey over, so that we had to give some of them rather vigorous little shakes in order to waken them. Yes, they are a fine family, and they are going to bring much joy, I a m sure, to many. Doctors’ operating caps and gowns in a Sewing Guild box are a new departure, and a very acceptable one. Dr. H. tried on one of the caps at once and found it a good fit and I a m sure the gowns will be none the less so. The jackets were nicer than ever this year. The baby frocks filled a real need. Since it is cold here a good part of every year the babies need far more covering than they do on the plains where it is always hot. Thus the little baby blankets were most welcome. Everything was so fresh and nice that I wish you could have heard all the nice things said about the Sewing Guild that evening by our little family circle. Many, m a n y thanks to the blessed w o me n who labor in the Lord at home.” Appreciation from another nurse: “A few days ago your boxes reached us, coming just when we needed them, as our cupboards were nearly empty. I a m especially pleased with the w o m a n ’s jackets and petticoats. Our patients shall be well dressed hereafter— at least when they are with us. The children’s dresses were very acceptable. I gave out some of the flannel ones yesterday to some very poor children who needed them badly. One little girl very proudly this morning walked into the hospital. I didn’t realize what she came for, so I asked her. She said: ‘Wh y I have come to show you m y dress.’ Our nurses cast longing eyes on the brass safety pins which you sent. They told m e they would be lovely to pin their jackets; so they, too, will make a nice gift. Our hospital staff members are always keen to get the picture cards. I a m going to have bandaging contests for the students in training and those who do the best work will get a package of Christmas cards as a reward.” F r o m our schools in India we hear messages of gratitude and appreciation for the much needed school supplies. “W e are trying to get the parents to do more and more each year toward providing their children’s clothes, but they are very poor; so it is a great joy to get the boxes and to be able to help them out. The nightgowns rejoice m y heart. N o w I shall have almost two apiece for the girls and when one is soiled there will be a clean one. Oh, I have saved and saved in order to get enough covering for the girls and it does m y heart good to see and know that no w I can keep them fairly warm. The rainy season is here, and n o w they will wish for warmer jackets. I a m so thankful for the interest of the w o m e n at home.” Another teacher is happy. She writes: “W h e n one gets every­ thing one wants and wants everything one gets, it is indeed a blessed feeling. I just never could have had a nicer box for Christmas and the kind of things that do so help out throughout the year for these poor girls. The little booklet I found in the box, ‘That Their Joy Might Be Full,’ is really fully realized by the Industrial School this year. W e are grateful to all who have made us so happy.” “I a m so glad of the nice fresh Picture Rolls to use for Evangelistic Work,” writes another. “The picture cards with clean backs on which Telegu texts m a y be written are so useful to me. A hearty thank you for the very nice Primary Song Books. I a m sure we shall be able to make good use of them in our Singing Class. I a m so glad to have them.” F r o m Arabia come m a n y beautiful messages of gratitude and thanks. One missionary writes as follows: “The boxes couldn’t have been nicer and were what w e needed. W e were getting very low in towels as well as other things, and now I wish you could see the shelves in our hospital storeroom. It is nice to see them full. The bags and dolls were perfectly beautiful. I gave a lot of them away at Christmas and a m keeping enough to last m e the rest of the year. Y o u don’t kn ow what a joy it is to have these things to give. Yes- lerday a dear little girl came to the dispensary with her mother. The mother had a poor baby in her arms whose days are numbered, I a m sure. The little girl laid on m y table a few eggs done up in a rag and gave m e a sweet smile as she said 'Be careful; they will break.’ W h e n I could get away I got one of those small dolls done up in tissue paper and gave it to her when the room was quite empty. Her mother took it from her and began to open it, but before she had the paper off, the little girl saw the doll and grabbed it, giving a gasp of delight. She looked at it and then put up her little mouth and kissed me. Then she looked at the doll again and kissed it and again drew m e down and kissed me. She filled m y heart with joy for the rest of the day. She whispered something to her mother and I asked what it was she said. 'She wants to know if it will do any harm to wash the dolly’s face’. He r own little face badly needed washing and if she hadn’t been so sweet it would have been hard to bring myself to let her kiss m e on the cheek. So you see how much all these nice things in the boxes mean to us. The w a r m flannel gowns, too, have been a great help for grown ups and small children.” “It has been such a treat to have a Sewing Guild box,” writes another, “to'be able to clothe some of these wretchedly poor, destitute babies and children, and old w o m e n who are no longer wanted and are wilfully neglected so they m a y die. The box also helped to give Christmas cheer to many. I could have used m a n y more head pieces, scarfs, dresses for old and young. I a m afraid this sounds ungrate­ ful, but I do not mean it so at all, but I a m so distressed about these poor children and women in this cold weather. The Arabs have not yet learned to say ‘Thank you’ quite as they should, but they are made happy and friendly and believe in our message of friendship more readily after receiving a little help. I have often noticed how they grasp the story in Matthew 25, describing the judgment scene and how they at once begin to tell how Christians do feed and clothe the poor, ho w merciful the Christians are, etc. Again let m e sajr 'Thank you’ for the wonderful box you sent iqe.” F r o m one of the schools came these words of appreciation. “It was great fun having a box of m y own. This is the first year I ever unpacked a Guild box, and what a joy to find just what I needed. I feel rich in dolls and can face Christmas without misgiving. I must give the people a celebration of some kind, and nothing goes to their hearts more than dolls. The work bags, pads, pencils, crayons, etc. are so useful in m y school work. It is hard to make our gratitude really known to people w h o m we have never met, but since they cannot see the pleasure and comfort their boxes bring, we have to do our best to tell them what their gifts mean to us. D o thank the Societies that sent m e the lovely school supplies.” F r o m a school in China we hear this message “You should have heard our exclamation of delight as Miss H. and I unpacked the box. Everything is so nice and so suitable for our work. Life is very hard for the poor people of China of late years and we are so glad we can put a little cheer into their dull lives. W e are planning a Christmas celebration and tree, the first tree our school has ever had. 74 Woman's Board of Foreign Missions

The pieces of goods and all sewing materials I use for m y industrial class in the-women’s school. The baby blankets, dresses and booties have already made m a n y a mother happy. I love to give something to the girl babies of our Christians, for a girl even in a Christian home is usually a disappointment. So m a n y of our Christians had things stolen from them by soldiers or bandits, and you have no idea how even a towel or handkerchief is prized. It is getting cold now, and tomorrow I’m going to give a pair of booties to a dear little girlie of seven months wh o came with her mother to m y school this term because the family were driven from their home by soldiers. The baby smiles whenever I look at her, and I wish the one who made the booties could see the mother’s joy tomorrow. It’s heart­ warming pleasure to play ‘Lady-Bountiful’ and I feel it’s hardly fair that the real donors can’t get the thanks of the w o m e n and girls they make happy. M a y H e who said that even the giving of a cup of cold water should not lose its reward give a blessing to every one who helped fill that splendid box, packed so carefully not a thing was broken. Thank you so much for it.” Another writes: “The dolls were lovely and the one that says M a - m a has provided entertainment for more than one party of ‘grown ups’ since we have had it. The women were made so happy with the gay colored wristlets and a handkerchief at Christmas. I was so glad to find the box of tree ornaments sent by the Torch Trimmers. W e do so appreciate the Sewing Guild boxes. If I try to be very good this coming year perhaps ‘Auntie Sewing Guild’ will next year send m e about one hundred dollies! D o you think she would? I have hoped for some time to be able to give our girls a present of a doll at Christmas time, but m y lucky year along the dolly line has not yet come around.” I have reserved till the last the story of Christinas Eve in India. “As for Christmas Eve! W e had a tree for the children. I expected twenty-five or thirty. W h a t I got was eight-seven! But m y almirah was equal to it, and I longed for you Sewing Guild ladies as I packed a big basket t9 take over to the village,— work bags and dolls and crayons for the bigger girls, dolls for the little ones and blankets ,and slips for the littlest, pads and American pencils for the big boys, tops for the next size and rattles and horns for the little boys. Yo u can see what good sendee your box did for m e that night, and those children were so happy. W e had the tree out ‘under the trees’ in the center of the village, so the candles could do no harm if they did ignite a branch. W e had a little program of Bible recitations, singing and a Christmas ‘drama’ depicting the angel appearing to the shepherds, a prayer, then the presents, distributing some Indian sweets to the grown ups, and all went home in a real Christmasy spirit.” ' A s we face the new year of work, let us remember we have a two­ fold responsibility, one to our representatives on the field and one to the people they are trying to help. As we make these garments let us put into them so much of ourselves that, as she receives them into her hands, the missionary will feel the power and uplift that come from the united prayers of G o d ’s people, and as she passes them on to those in need, the warmth of a Saviour’s love m a y be felt by them. Thus m a y we all catch the true missionary spirit, and realize the deeper purport of the work, and m a y each one in this Jubilee Year strive to make the Sewing Guild a greater blessing and a greater power in our foreign missionary work.

M ary Louise Powles, Chairman.

COMMITTEE ON UFE MEMBERSHIPS It is with much satisfaction that your Chairman announces that since her last report, 50 w o me n have been welcomed into our “fam­ ily” of Life Members. Each one has been asked to become “Praying Mate” to a worker in a foreign field. So me delightful letters have been received expressing pleasure and satisfaction at being asked to form this relationship. Since the disaster in Japan, particular attention has been paid to our workers there, feeling that none needed comfort and guidance more than they, during these days of stress and strain. W e love to think of the renewed strength which has come to them through the knowledge of the faithful loving friends in the homeland, who were constantly petitioning the Heavenly Father to bestow upon them His choicest blessings. Your Chairman regrets the length of time which elapses between the receipt of the membership gift and the sending of the letters of welcome, but owing to the number of hands through which the co m ­ munications must necessarily pass, there appears to be no solution of the problem at present. This past year, we endeavored, through the Classical Committees, to have each Life Me m b e r especially invited to some meeting for prayer, on the “D a y of Prayer for Foreign Missions.” It is hoped that such invitation m a y be extended to them each year, thus linking together the whole “family” in a chain of special intercession for our loved missionaries. W h o can estimate the value of this prayer “service.” “More things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams of.” The Life Members have had a splendid part in the Golden Jubilee ottering, having contributed $400 to that Fund. The Board last spring selected the work of Bible W o m e n in Japan as the object toward which to devote the Life Membership gifts and again we are reminded of G o d ’s leading— for where .could $1,250 have been used to better advantage! . Your committee also reports the sum of two hundred dollars, “gifts of love,” by which four names have been inscribed on our “Memorial Membership Roll.”

A daline W . Stillwell, Chairman. The Fiftieth Anniversary

In this “Hallowed Fiftieth Year” the Anniversary of the W o m a n ’s Board of Foreign Missions was held M a y 20, 1024, in the new edifice of the Reformed Church, Poughkeepsie, a beautiful building, satisfy­ ing in its Gothic architecture and well-planned for church activities. Though the skies were overcast and threatening an audience gathered that filled the church to the last pews, coming from as far north as Albany and as far south as Long Island and N e w Jersey. All were most cordially received at the church, and even at the railroad station. Rev. J. Addison Jones, D.D., pastor of the church, led the devo­ tional service and welcomed the guests. H e gave three words with which to start, to continue, and to end the day— C o m e (unto Me), Abide (in Me), Go (to the world). In her response Mrs. DeWitt Knox, President of the Board, expressed gratitude for the hospitality of the friends in Poughkeepsie, and for the loyalty of the Avomen of the denomination without w h o m the record of the year could not have been achieved. Referring to the Golden Jubilee, Mrs. K n o x reminded her hearers that, in the temple of Solomon, “Up on the top of the pillars Avas lily Avork,” that the Jubilee gift, a thank-offering to God, will be lily work on the pillars of the temple in the Kingdom of God. Brief messages Avere brought by the missionaries present.' Miss Margaret C. Morrison, A m o y Mission, told of the growth of that Avork and the needs today— more laborers and more prayer for those working under the cut. Miss Ruth Broekema, under appointment to the A m o y Mission, expressed pleasure at the prospect of telling Avomen and children in China of the lo\’e of God that means so much to her. Miss Ma ry C. Va n Pelt, Arabian Mission, said that she is going back to a larger work, and wants one thing for herself— more of Christ— she must have it to meet the needs of Arabs at last ready to acknowledge H i m openly. Miss A n n a M. Fleming, Japan Mission, spoke of the gratitude of the Japanese for help in their hour of extremity, and of their courage as they started to rebuild— splendid people avIio need Christ., The President urged that prayers for the defeat of the Exclusion Act before Congress be offered, that the love displayed after the earthquake be not turned into bitterness. Miss Harriet M. Lansing, Japan Mission, told of Avork in that “big little country,” its possibilities and needs, Avhich include Christian schools like Sturgcs and Ferris Seminaries. The spirit of the latter lives in the hearts of its students though the buildings are down. H o m e s for missionaries are needed to enable them to do better Avork for the Master. Miss Lansing spoke of NeAVspaper Evangelism and asked for prayers that, through it, the Gospel m a y enter every home in Japan. The statement of the Treasurer Avas listened to with the usual keen interest. Receipts for the year from all sources, including legacies, Japan relief and Christmas gift, and $11,504.00 from the young w o m e n amounted to $208,074.78. In his appeal for the offerin': for the Hancock Memorial, Dr. W . Bancroft Hill paid a. tribute to Miss Annie E. Hancock, who died of cholera, March 3, 1924, and to her work as evangelistic missionary in Vellore. He r last words, “Finish the building” (for the W o m e n ’s Social Service Center) were referred to the w o me n of the Reformed Church for action. After Dr. Hill’s prayer consecrating the offering, Rev. Henry A. Bilkert of the Arabian Mission, brought greetings from the oldest country, the supposed land of the Garden of Eden, and of Ab raham’s birth. But it was of the new Kingdom of Mesopotamia that Mr. Bilkert of the Arabian Mission brought greetings from the oldest a shock— the World War, and of its aftermath, the adoption of n u m ­ erous products of the West, some of which do not make for the betterment of the people. H o w has the Reformed Church prepared to meet this situation? Dr. and Mrs. Cantine are in Baghdad, alone, trying to impart a vital touch to the hurrying, commercial throng. There are two avenues of approach, the new ideal of Nationalism in­ spired by the words of President Wilson, and the thirst for western education. If education is to be Christian it must be undertaken in earnestness and with power. • A h y m n was sung and the benediction pronounced, after which, accepting the hearty invitation extended by Dr. Jones, the audi­ ence adjourned to the pleasant church rooms that were decorated with a profusion of spring blossoms, and enjoyed the delicious and generous luncheon. ' The afternoon session was opened with the fine old mission­ ary hymn, “F r o m Greenland’s Icy Mountains,” and prayer offered by Rev. Addison C. Bird. Calling to mind the fact that for fifty years the w o m e n of the Reformed Church have been working and praying for those of India, Japan and China, Mrs. K n o x said that she had three pictures to show, two tableaux and one moving picture, and in­ troduced three Vassar students, charming in their national dress— Miss A. Joshi of India and Fukui Arko San from Japan, who bowed in the manner of their respective countries, and Miss Fred­ erica Giang from China, who spoke on the Education of Girls in China. She said that to-day enthusiasm for education is in the very air they breathe in that land. W o m e n of the past, with bound feet and minds, had influence, what will it be when they are unbound! Miss Giang told of the “Four Hundred” of Peking and other cities, who imitate those in N e w York and London, whose education makes them a menace to society, and asked Chris­ tians to give them Christ at this critical turning point. Miss Matilda L. Berg of the Arcot Mission thanked the women of the Church for the wonderful years she had had in India, and urged that Miss Hancock’s request, “Finish the building” be applied to the entire task— the building of Christian character, of physical, mental and spiritual welfare, for Christ. The Golden Jubilee and its four objectives were presented by the Chairman, Miss E. P. Cobb. At the Master’s command let us 78 W o m a n ’s Board of Foreign Missions launch out into the deep, asking a miracle for ourselves, that we m a y attain. The appeal for the afternoon offering for the Hancock M e ­ morial was made by Miss 0. H. Lawrence, who asked, not for the left over, but the love over. The dedicatory prayer was offered by Rev. J. Harvey Murphy. A n expression of thanks to the Poughkeepsie Church was voiced by Mrs. J. G. Fagg, for the w a r m welcome, for the music and services of the organist, for the feast of good tilings, that made all unite in the thought, “It has been good for us to be here.” Rev. A. L. Warnshuis, D.D., of the International Missionary Council, delivered the closing address. His words burned into minds and hearts as he led his hearers to look back, thanking God for the privilege of service and for blessing the work, and forward to the unfinished task, which will be conquered only as the crucified Christ is revealed. Four gospels are being preached throughout Asia and Africa to-day. Commercial expansion, exploiting the people, but not for their sakes. Can the still, small voice of Christ be heard in - the roar of the machinery? Race discrimination. Westerners go to all parts of the world, as though it belonged to them, but— when the East comes to the West! Does it meet brotherhood, or race hatred? Political propagandas Japan, China, India, Arabia are struggling for democracy, and their religions are taken away, leaving them atheists, when they should be made Christians. Edu­ cation. Students are absorbing science, philosophy, materialism. H u g e endowments are built up for education while Mission Boards are in debt. * W h y not put as much effort in Christianization as in education? . The world cannot be converted by theory, nor by proxy— sending out a few missionaries— nor by thinking to keep Christ in America till the K i ng dom is established here, while in Asia and Africa problems press which only H e can meet. The Kingdom of Christ can be established if Christians will be Christian. Dr. Warnshuis cited the European nations, hard pressed with post­ war problems, Norway, Finland, England, even Germany, with earnestness and sacrifice again taking up mission work, or in­ creasing their responsibilities and budgets, while Americans, with all the world’s gold, are ordering 10 per cent, cuts, in the endeavor to make H i m available, who gave Himself to death on the cross that the world might believe. A s the company of His followers, the benediction having been pronounced, scattered to their homes, was it not with renewed de­ termination to Abide in H i m and bring forth more fruit, to G o to all1 the world with His Gospel? .
