No letter is more intimate, and it is clear that the relationship between the Apostle and the members of the Church at Philippi was close and affectionate. He evidently considered that what he was doing at that time in Rome, though in bonds, was a part of the service of the Philippian Church. They had contributed material support to him, and on this occasion, at least, Paul could do no other than accept. * * * * * HILIPPI spoke always to Paul of the furtherance of the Gospel, P for it was to that city he first came on that venture when, in obedience to the call from Macedonia, he crossed from Asia to Europe. To one so discerning as Paul this journey must have been recognised as determinative, but probably all the significance of it was not apparent to him. We, looking back upon it, see how critical the entry into Philippi really was. Then Christianity turned westward to capture Rome and Europe. * * * * * UT there was more than that in the phrase he used, for he was B able to tell the Philippian Christians that those events in his life which caused them anxiety and trouble were really turning out for the furtherance of the Gospel. What might have appeared as a limitation to his energies and activities, in bondage as he was, and in a prison, had really brought about astounding results. Preachers were springing up everywhere, some not from the best motives, but others stirred by the sight of Paul’s own witness and endurance. Moreover, the guard that watched over him unceasingly was learning to know why he was there, and was being impressed. * * * * * O everyone like the apostle the thing that matters is whether Christ T is preached, and it is a great day in any man’s experience when he realises that the ways of preaching are many, that not only by word 5 ft ONE HUNDRED AN© FORTY-FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT. [1936. o f mouth, but far more by the testimony of the life, is the witness given. The number of believers was being increased as the Gospel was being preached. But there was yet more, for it is clear that there was a development going on in Christian character. It was already seen in those who were waxing confident, and were emboldened to speak the Word without fear. It was also disclosed in the deeper understanding of the relationship of Christians ons with the other. ***** N a matter of conduct Paul makes his appeal from the amazing fact I of the condescension and humiliation of Christ, Bet forth in the Incarnation, and in His obedience unto death, even the death of the Cross. It is upon this that he bases his plea for Christian conduct and Christian character. And as this grows the Gospel is furthered. * * * * * O those who read these pages it will be made dear that still the T Gospel is being furthered. There are records here which tell of new territory that has been occupied, and again and again of men and women who have come to faith for the first time. Undoubtedly, the number of believers is being increased. It is not without interest that it is just fifty years ago that the first convert was baptized in the Congo in connection with our Mission. The date was Monday, March 29th, 1886. Writing, about it, Comber, who conducted the service, says th is : “ On the Monday morning, as I notified to the people on the Sunday, we proceeded to the nearest pool, a mile away, to carry out for the first time in Congo the ordinance of Believer’s baptism, the subject being my boy, William Mantu Parkinson. It was an impressive service. Several hymns were sung, and a few words spoken on the subjeot of following and serving. Oh, for the time ‘ when the little one shall be a thousand, and the small one a strong nation ! ’ The Lord hasten it in His time.” HE one has become a thousand. Last year over 2,000 were T baptized in Congo in connection with our Mission. Likewise, these pages report that evidence is forthcoming of the deepening realisation of the meaning of Christ for life and for character. And, above all, there is appearing in clear outline the Church of Jesus Christ in India, in China, and in Congo. * * * * * ET the reader seek these things and he will find them. He will L then surely join with Paul when he sayB: “ I thank my God upon every remembrance of you, always in every prayer of mine for you all making request with joy, for your fellowship in the Gospel from the first day until now: being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ.” THE FINANCIAL SITUATION THE APPROACH TO THE CHURCHES URING the year the usual deputation visits were made to the D churches. Something of their extent may be judged by the fact that, in a busy month like October or November, speakers ^e provided for over one thousand meetings, while on each of the last two Sundays in April over forty churches in London alone received missionaries. We would take this opportunity of thanking all who made these visits profitable and also pleasurable; in particular, we would thank the ministers, missionary secretaries and hosts, and those who provide transport. * * * * * A CONFERENCE of women auxiliary secretaries in May provided • a most useful occasion to discuss the work of the Women’s Forward Movement undertaken during the last three years. The secretaries brought to the meeting the experiences of their own districts, and the corporate judgment of local fellow-workers on the value of the enrolment scheme, the usefulness of the Prayer Partners leaflet, and other allied questions. The number of Prayer Partners steadily increased during the year, and we thankfully record that 20,250 leaflets are now issued. Since these leaflets are only given to enrolled members, the figure indicates a larger volume of pledged personal support. ***** /~\NE outcome of the conference has been the holding of similar conferences locally for Church women missionary secretaries. The benefit of frank discussion of difficulties, the exchange of methods that have proved helpful, testimony to what God has wrought in local groups and individual churches, are already bearing fruit. Note must also be made of the increasing number of individuals in the churches who receive letters from stations and missionaries through the Mission House ; in particular, bed supporters are kept in close contact in this way. The Ministers’ Letter has been sent out periodically; and each quarter all missionary secretaries receive an eight-page pamphlet relating to their work. ***** t h e r e s p o n s e o f t h e c h u r c h e s ' | ’'HE first response is to be found in the candidates

SHAUGHNESSY The University of Chicago In 2002, I published a survey of inscribed bronze vessels of the Western Zhou period that had appeared in the course of the preceding decade. timing was appropriate for at least a couple of reasons. First, the 1990s marked the first flowering of the new Chinese economic expansion; with the dramatic increase in construction activity and with newfound wealth in China came a concomitant rise in the number of ancient bronze vessels taken out of China’s earth. Although much of this excavation was unfor- tunately undertaken by tomb robbers, and the individual bronzes thus lost their archaeological context, nevertheless many of them appeared on the antiques markets and eventually made their way into museums and/or the scholarly press. Second, the decade also witnessed the five-year long Xia- Shang-Zhou Chronology Project (1995–2000). This multidisciplinary inquiry into ancient China’s political chronology was funded by the Chinese government at levels hitherto unimagined for humanistic and social science research, and it resulted in numerous discoveries and publi- cations. The chronology of the Western Zhou period, based to a very large extent on the inscriptions in bronze vessels of the period, was perhaps the most important topic explored by this project. The decade witnessed extensive archaeological excavations at several major Zhou states, as well as the discovery of several fully-dated bronze inscriptions that were the subject of much discussion in the context of the “Xia-Shang-Zhou Chro- nology Project.” 1 The sive archaeologicalThe ten years campaigns, that have severaljust passed of them have unearthing brought several sites and more ceme- exten- teries of heretofore unknown states within the Zhou realm, as well as many, many more bronze vessels from throughout the Western Zhou period, some of them with truly 2startling inscriptions.
  • Inscriptional Records of the Western Zhou

    Inscriptional Records of the Western Zhou

    INSCRIPTIONAL RECORDS OF THE WESTERN ZHOU Robert Eno Fall 2012 Note to Readers The translations in these pages cannot be considered scholarly. They were originally prepared in early 1988, under stringent time pressures, specifically for teaching use that term. Although I modified them sporadically between that time and 2012, my final year of teaching, their purpose as course materials, used in a week-long classroom exercise for undergraduate students in an early China history survey, did not warrant the type of robust academic apparatus that a scholarly edition would have required. Since no broad anthology of translations of bronze inscriptions was generally available, I have, since the late 1990s, made updated versions of this resource available online for use by teachers and students generally. As freely available materials, they may still be of use. However, as specialists have been aware all along, there are many imperfections in these translations, and I want to make sure that readers are aware that there is now a scholarly alternative, published last month: A Source Book of Ancient Chinese Bronze Inscriptions, edited by Constance Cook and Paul Goldin (Berkeley: Society for the Study of Early China, 2016). The “Source Book” includes translations of over one hundred inscriptions, prepared by ten contributors. I have chosen not to revise the materials here in light of this new resource, even in the case of a few items in the “Source Book” that were contributed by me, because a piecemeal revision seemed unhelpful, and I am now too distant from research on Western Zhou bronzes to undertake a more extensive one.

    Schistosomiasis in the Democratic Republic of Congo: a Literature Review

    Madinga et al. Parasites & Vectors (2015) 8:601 DOI 10.1186/s13071-015-1206-6 REVIEW Open Access Schistosomiasis in the Democratic Republic of Congo: a literature review Joule Madinga1,2*, Sylvie Linsuke3, Liliane Mpabanzi2, Lynn Meurs2, Kirezi Kanobana2, Niko Speybroeck1, Pascal Lutumba3,4 and Katja Polman2 Abstract Schistosomiasis is a poverty-related parasitic infection, leading to chronic ill-health. For more than a century, schistosomiasis has been known to be endemic in certain provinces of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). However, a clear overview on the status of the disease within the country is currently lacking, which is seriously hampering control. Here, we review the available information on schistosomiasis in DRC of the past 60 years. Findings and data gaps are discussed in the perspective of upcoming control activities. An electronic literature search via PubMed complemented by manual search of non-peer-reviewed articles was conducted up to January 2015. The search concerned all relevant records related to schistosomiasis in the DRC from January 1955 onwards. A total of 155 records were found, of which 30 met the inclusion criteria. Results were summarized by geographical region, mapped, and compared with those reported sixty years ago. The available data reported schistosomiasis in some areas located in 10 of the 11 provinces of DRC. Three species of Schistosoma were found: S. mansoni, S. haematobium and S. intercalatum. The prevalence of schistosomiasis varied greatly between regions and between villages, with high values of up to 95 % observed in some communities. The overall trend over 60 years points to the spread of schistosomiasis to formerly non-endemic areas.
