In case the second of these motions should prevail, debate on the main question may con­ tinue at the pleasure of the Society, but a motion to close the debate shall be in order at any time. When the vote by States has been reported, recorded, and announced, the motion to concur, provided for in the by-laws, shall follow immediately without the intervention cf any other business and without discussion.

PREFACE

TN TH E early part of the nineteenth century the position of Baptists in America was not one of great prominence. With little organization, they were widely scattered and without facilities for easy communication among themselves. The formation of the English Baptist Missionary Society, which had taken place in 1792, and the early efforts of the pioneer missionaries in India had, however, aroused a deep interest in this country, so that considerable money was raised and sent to their aid. The interest thus awakened and fos­ tered was accentuated also by the reading of letters from Dr. William Carey, which appeared from time to time in the Massachusetts Baptist Missionary Magazine. When early in 1812 a company of five young men was set apart for service in foreign lands, and sailed from our shores, a deep impression was made upon Baptists, although the volunteers were of another denomination. One of these young men, Adoniram Judson, read his New Testament with great thoroughness during his voyage to India, and as a result accepted the Baptist view of baptism and wrote a letter which was received in Boston, January 19, 1813, in which he said: “ Should there be formed a Baptist Society for the support of missions in these parts, I should be ready to consider myself their missionary.” This challenge profoundly stirred the Baptists, so that they began at once to make plans to undertake this work. Luther Rice, another of the young men, having experienced a like change in belief, turned to America to plead the cause of missions among the Baptists, the direct result of his efforts being the organization at Philadelphia, May 21, 1814, of “ The General Mis­ sionary Convention of the Baptist Denomination in the United States of America for Foreign Missions,” popularly known as the Triennial Convention. The delegates assembled on May 18, a fact which has led to the erroneous statement frequently made, that the Convention was organized on that date. It is significant that the call to engage in foreign mission work was the first thing that led to organization and unity among Baptists in this coun­ try. In 1845 the Southern Baptists withdrew because of a difference of opinion growing out of the slavery question, and in 1846 the name of the Society was changed to The American Baptist Missionary Union. The name was again altered in 1910, becoming American Baptist Foreign Mission Society. The headquarters were established at Boston, Mass., in 1826, and in 1920 were removed to New York. At the annual meeting in 1908, the Society became a cooperating society of the Northern Baptist Convention. 11

GENERAL REVIEW OF THE YEAR

1932-1933

GENERAL REVIEW OF THE YEAR 1932-1933

OR one hundred and nineteen years American Baptists have been carrying the gospel of Jesus Christ “ into all the world” in response to the call of God so stirringly presented to them first in 1814 by Adoniram Judson and Luther Rice. Though the work has repeatedly been fraught with obstacles and problems, God has constantly blessed these efforts with His presence and guidance and with an ever-increasing group of followers of the Christ in all of the mission fields. In presenting the One-hundred- nineteenth Annual Report, the Board of Managers again makes grateful acknowledgment to God for these blessings. It also re­ cords its appreciation for the faithful service of its missionaries who in the face of severe reductions in appropriations have carried their heavy burdens with cheerfulness and for the continued sacrificial support of its constituency in this period of economic crisis.

The World Situation Again this year the work of the Society has been conducted in a world beset with myriad problems. Continued war in Manchuria and Northern China, civil war in West China, agitation for inde­ pendence in the Philippine Islands finally granted by the American Congress over President Hoover's veto because of the unsatisfactory terms of the bill, continued nationalistic agitation in India and Burma, unrelenting Roman Catholic opposition in the Belgian Congo, accentuated national and international problems in Germany and other European nations, a prolonged world-wide economic de­ pression now in its fourth year with its attendant suffering— such are outstanding characteristics of the world of today. Despite such problems the missionary enterprise records progress. East China reports more baptisms than in any year since the revolution of 1927. In almost every field missionaries find a receptiveness to the Gospel message to a degree seldom experienced heretofore. The prospects for new victories for God seem limited only by the supply of men and financial resources. 15 16 AMERICAN BAPTIST FOREIGN MISSION SOCIETY

Armed Conflict in the Far East The undeclared war in Manchuria has been continued, with Japanese troops occupying an enlarging territory and penetrating southward even beyond the Great Wall. While the commission ap­ pointed by the League of Nations with the Earl of Lytton as chair­ man was making its investigation, that portion of Manchuria occu­ pied by the Japanese became the independent state of Manchukuo which was promptly recognized by Japan. News reports in the spring of 1933 seem to foreshadow the establishment of another in­ dependent state in northern China as a buffer between Manchukuo and China. The League of Nations has followed, with close atten­ tion, these political developments in the Far East. Following the re­ port of the Lytton Commission, the League made an extended official pronouncement concerning the situation. Although it did not ab­ solve China from responsibility, the methods pursued by Japan were condemned. Constructive suggestions for the adjustment of the differences between China and Japan were offered. These pro­ posals and other parts of the report were unsatisfactory to Japan, which has since filed notice of withdrawal from the League. Al­ though its efforts for a peaceful settlement have not been successful, the prestige of the League has been enhanced by its positive stand. Many believe that its action marks a significant advance in inter­ national relations. Apart from the conflict in Shanghai early in 1932, which was described in the last Annual Report, missionaries of the Society have not been in the zone of Japan’s military movements. It should be recognized, however, that the work of Christian missions in both Japan and China is inevitably affected by these political movements. Since the withdrawal of the Japanese forces, conditions in the Shanghai area have been comparatively quiet but it will be a long time before the destroyed sections of the city can be restored. The courageous spirit of the Chinese Christians was well illustrated by the conduct of the members of the North Shanghai Baptist Church whose building was considerably damaged. Despite their heavy personal losses the Chinese members subscribed $7,000.00 Mexican for the necessary repairs to their church building and small adjacent school property. They have urgently requested the Society to contribute an additional $10,000.00 Mexican (less than $2,500.00 GENERAL REVIEW OF THE YEAR 17

Gold), but on account of its reduced income the Board was unable to make this appropriation.

Civil War in West China While conditions in East and South China have been compara­ tively quiet during the year, West China has experienced civil strife waged with many of the modern methods of warfare. In both Chengtu, the capital of Szechuan Province, and Kiating, the de­ structive conflict threatened the personal safety of the missionaries and caused widespread suffering among the Chinese. Several of the missionaries, especially the medical men, rendered unselfish service in caring for the large number of wounded civilians and soldiers. As a result of overstrain and exposure to disease, Dr. John E. Lenox was critically ill with typhus fever for several weeks. Other missionaries had narrow escapes from personal injury. There was no serious damage to Baptist mission property.

Philippine Independence The Filipino people have long entertained ardent aspirations for complete political independence, and they frequently rebelled against Spanish rule. It is stated that much of the territory in the Philip­ pine Islands had been wrested from the control of the Spaniards before the American naval forces defeated the Spanish fleet in Manila Bay in 1898. It is also said that the Filipino forces finally surrendered to the Americans on the understanding that independ­ ence would be granted to the Islands. After more than 30 years of discussion of the question, the Ameri­ can Congress in 1932 adopted a Philippine Islands Independence Bill. The bill as finally passed, over the veto of President Hoover, grants independence after a trial period of ten years, but makes it conditional upon terms which would seriously affect the economic and political life of the Filipinos. News reports indicate that, al­ though many Filipinos urge the acceptance of* independence even with unsatisfactory conditions, the more conservative leaders dis­ approve the form proposed by the American Congress. The effect of independence on missionary work cannot be forecast, but the history of nationalistic movements in other countries leaves little doubt that new problems will arise. The Christian missionary forces sympathize with the natural and laudable desire of the Fili­ 18 AMERICAN BAPTIST FOREIGN MISSION SOCIETY pinos for independence and hope that their desires can be realized on terms which will be of the greatest benefit to the people as a whole.

India’s Political Program The most dramatic political event in India in the past year was Mahatma Gandhi’s struggle for the depressed classes in his fast which was to be “till death,” if necessary. Dr. Ambedkar, Colum­ bia University graduate and able representative of the outcastes, turned all the force of that threat upon the high-caste Hindus and secured for his group an almost unbelievable increase in the num­ ber of its representatives in the proposed new provincial legisla­ tive councils and legislative assembly. Thus the outcastes seem assured of sufficient power to secure the needed protection of their interests. The words of the Viceroy, Lord Willingdon, at the close of the Third Round Table Conference seemed justified: “Another milestone is behind us on the road to constitutional ad­ vance. There is no tarrying on that road. Steadily and surely the march to federation proceeds.” There is a growing confidence that the British Government is sincerely striving to advance constitutional reforms as rapidly as possible and “to secure the peaceful conditions essential for start­ ing a new and firm administration in which Indians would be given control.” The proposals for the All-India Federation are to be considered by a joint committee of the two Houses of Parliament together with Indians chosen for that purpose. This conference will make definite proposals for Parliament. Another year should see a great advance in the new constitution for India.

Burma and Separation As noted in previous reports of the Society, the complete separa­ tion of Burma from India has been an integral part of the political readjustments of India. At first glance therefore the results of the plebiscite held in November were surprising. The Separa- tionists with approximately 250,000 votes elected 28 representatives to the legislature, while the Anti-Separationists polling 415,000 votes won 43 seats. W ith only nine neutral representatives it seemed certain that Burma would become a part of the proposed All-India Federation. None of the leaders of the Anti-Separa­ GENERAL REVIEW OF THE YEAR 19 tion movement, however, were willing to head the new Burma Ministry, and the legislature forced the resignation of its president rather than yield to his insistence that a clear-cut vote be taken on the matter of separation. It passed a resolution rejecting separa­ tion on the terms offered by the British Premier but opposing un­ conditional entrance into the All-India Federation. Thus the Burmese indicated their desire for separation with a constitution conferring more powers than that proposed and for a larger voice in the determination of what those powers should be. Their method of making their desires known was confusing, but they are to be commended on their purpose to make sure that “ the future constitution of Burma shall provide for the immediate transfer to popular control of at least the same measure of re­ sponsibility and the same subjects and powers as will be transferred to popular control in the Indian Federation.” Prominent among the Christian members of the legislature were U Tun Pe, Professor of Burmese at Judson College, and Saw Pe Tha, a Karen and a graduate of Judson College, who, as deputy president of the legislature, presided “with grace and dignity” in the heated sessions which followed the forced resignation of the president.

Rights of Protestant Missions in Belgian Congo The Annual Report for 1932 described at some length the serious situation which has developed in Belgian Congo affecting the rights and privileges of Protestant missionary organizations in their work. Events during the year have tended to confirm the conviction that the Roman Catholic Church desires to consolidate Belgian Congo as a Catholic mission field to the exclusion of Protestant missions. There have been serious discriminations in favor of Catholic mis­ sions by the government which makes heavy subsidies toward Cath­ olic medical and educational work. The situation has been further aggravated by aggressions on the part of certain Catholic priests and missionaries against the Protestant work and workers. The pro­ tests made by Protestant missions from time to time for the most part have failed to secure redress. These developments have oc­ curred in spite of specific guarantees agreed upon in the conference held in Berlin, Germany, in 1883 which provided that liberty of conscience and religious tolerance should be assured and that the 20 AMERICAN BAPTIST FOREIGN MISSION .SOCIETY governing power should favor the work of religious missions with­ out distinction of nationality or creed. Subsequent revisions in treaties have contained similar provisions and the position was re­ iterated in essence in the convention drafted and considered at Saint Germain-en-Laye in 1919. For several years the Congo Protestant Council under the leadership of its secretary, Rev. Emory Ross, has been collecting data regarding this situation. During the year it be­ came clear that official representations should be made to the Belgian Colonial Office. With the aid of an inter-mission committee Mr. Ross prepared a petition setting forth the entire situation and it was sent to the Belgian Colonial Office in March. At the request of the American Congo Committee Dr. J. H . Oldham, secretary o f the International Missionary Council, visited Brussels and in interviews with the Colonial Minister and other government officials supported the petition by a carefully worded statement. This expressed the desire of Protestant missions that the treaty provisions guaranteeing freedom of conscience be enforced. Attention was called to dis­ crimination in the treatment accorded the medical work of the Ro­ man Catholic missions as against that o f Protestant societies. It ex­ pressed the desire of the Protestant missions that opportunity be given for closer cooperation with government and that they be granted the same treatment as that accorded Catholic missions. The statement also recorded the conviction that evangelization and education are inseparable in work among backward people and requested that schools serving Protestant communities be placed on an equality with those serving Catholics in such points as govern­ ment inspection, admission to examination and in financial subsidies if the missions wish to avail themselves of that privilege. Dr. Oldham’s representations were courteously received by the Colonial Minister ahd he was assured that due consideration would be given to the petition and to the further statements made by him. It is too soon to say what may be the final results o f these approaches to the Belgian government but a degree o f confidence is felt that the sense of fair play characterizing His Majesty, King Albert and the Belgian people generally will ultimately lead to a correction of the injustices of which the missions complain. There will doubtless be need to follow up the petition and bring to bear such further support as may wisely be enlisted to this end. GENERAL REVIEW OF THE YEAR 21

The World Depression and Missions The work of foreign missions has been carried on during the year against a background of ever-deepening economic depression and distress. Reports from every one of the fields indicate that the depression is being felt more and more by the peoples among whom the missionaries labor. At home it registers in drastically reduced missionary offerings. Baptist churches as well as those of every evangelical denomination are struggling to keep alive. They have had to reduce expenditures along every line. Salaries of many pas­ tors and church workers have been severely cut. Local plans for Christian service where requiring the outlay of funds have been radically changed or dropped entirely. It is not surprising therefore that missionary contributions have suffered a similar and perhaps even more severe decline. In some cases churches which for years have been supporting their own missionary representatives abroad find it difficult or impossible to continue their complete support. Special missionary projects undertaken in more favorable times have been dropped; and the amounts included in the church budget for the unified denominational program have been greatly reduced, in some cases as much as 50 per cent. This shrinkage in contributions is all the more serious because it follows a full decade during which the regular budget income has been declining almost continuously. The effects of this long decline have been offset only partially by the special financial campaigns (the Lone Star Fund and the Judson Fund) which have been carried out successfully during the same period, and the net results are now registered in serious readjustments in the work at home and abroad. The number of missionaries has declined from 618 ten years ago to 495, a decrease of 123. The total regular annual income shrank during the same period more than half a million dollars. The budget for the year beginning May 1, 1933, has been reduced $130,000.00 below that for the current year. Home expenditures, reduced $25,000.00 in three years, are now to be cut $16,000.00 more. In a truly sacrificial spirit missionaries, retired missionaries, widows of missionaries and the officers have joined in a voluntary movement to refund to the Society a portion of their salaries. These refunds totalled approximately $32,000.00. In the budget for the year be­ ginning May 1, 1933, a reduction of approximately twenty per cent 22 AMERICAN BAPTIST FOREIGN MISSION SOCIETY has been made in the salaries of the executive and clerical staff at headquarters. Substantial reductions were also made in the sala­ ries of the missionaries and a smaller cut has been effected in the modest allowances for retired missionaries and widows. The appropriations for the work of missionaries and native agencies have suffered a further cut. These reductions throw additional loads upon already overburdened missionaries and may result in closing of stations. A more detailed statement regarding these financial condi­ tions will be found in the report of the Treasurer. In the midst of the economic depression, however, there are ele­ ments which upon reflection produce encouragement. With much difficulty and under great stress of economic trial our churches have carried on and for the most part are attempting to keep up their contributions to the broader fields of the world as well as to care for the local expenditures. It would appear that the very stress of the times has produced a new spirit of interest in Christian things and a more definite search after God. The plans of more opulent times now* shattered in many cases beyond redemption are being replaced by new efforts perhaps simpler in form but better suited to meet the stern realities o f the day. A sifting process has been going on in the churches and it is clear that there remain many earnest people who believe profoundly in the missionary enterprise and who will con­ tinue to give and pray even in the midst of the present economic trials.

A Pentecost Among the Pwo Karens Notable among the records of evangelistic advance is the report of the baptism of 353 Pwo Karen converts on February 5, 1933, at Inye-kyun in the Bassein district, Burma. This Christian vil­ lage on an island in a beautiful, clear river made an ideal location. More than 2,300 people from the surrounding country gathered for the service at which President H. I. Marshall of the Karen Theological Seminary preached. Missionary C. L. Conrad de­ scribes the baptism:

The crowds were standing under the trees on the sloping bank of the stream. A place about thirty feet wide along the water front had been fenced off for the candidates who were to be baptized. In the center at the water’s edge was an elevated bamboo platform for the director of the singing and baptizing. About thirty feet from the water’s edge in the stream, at intervals of about GENERAL REVIEW OF THE YEAR 23 ten feet, were twelve bamboo posts which marked the standing places of the twelve pastors who were to do the baptizing. The 3S3 candidates filled the enclosed space. After appropriate preliminaries the twelve Pwo Karen pas­ tors, dressed in long white coats, took their places. The candidates formed twelve lines each leading to one of the twelve pastors. Twelve candidates were baptized at the same time, one pastor each time, asking for the confession of faith and giving the commission charge. It was beautiful, impressive and inspiring. In that crystal stream was a huge sampan, filled with the teachers and girls from the high school at Bassein, who sang at intervals during the baptizing. As the old gospel hymns came floating over the waters to where we were, I could not but think of the Christ with his disciples as they walked, talked and, no doubt, baptized on the shores of blue Galilee.

Missionaries and Pwo Karen Christians believe that this is but a foretaste of the large ingathering which will soon occur among the Pwo Karens if adequate missionary leadership can be supplied.

Evangelism Around the World From other sections of the fields come reports of evangelistic advance, again emphasizing the spiritual basis of the missionary task. The following extracts from reports of missionaries have been selected as typical of the manner in which the representatives of Christ in all fields have been making Him known.

Assam There have been 536 Ao Naga and 32 Miri Naga baptisms this year. The Naga constituency is almost 9,000 at the present time. The work among the Miri tribes beyond the Government border has been somewhat retarded due to violent persecution. Many Christians have been driven from their vil­ lages, have lost their house foundation rights and many other privileges that every Naga cherishes. The pressure has forced some back into heathenism, but the majority have remained faithful. Just 15 miles from our station there are hundreds of head-hunters, who have never heard the glad tidings of salva­ tion. W e are forbidden to enter this section at the present time, but there is much work to be done nevertheless. . . . Only a few days ago we returned from our annual Association. More than 4,000 people were gathered there, nearly twice as many as attended the Northern Baptist Convention in San Francisco! That was a splendid meeting.—Roger R. Wickstrand, Impur.

Belgian Congo The spiritual awakening of interest in the things of God is spreading very rapidly throughout our entire field. It alarms us at times and has made us place greater stress on our message, but the number of those seeking baptism continues to increase. Four years ago our register showed a total of 146 24 AMERICAN BAPTIST FOREIGN MISSION SOCIETY teachers and 2,448 children under instruction in our village schools. Today we have a list of 251 teachers and 8,683 children under instruction. Four years ago our church register showed a total of 195 church members, the majority of whom met every three months at the mission station for com­ munion. During the past year alone we have thoroughly examined and bap­ tized over 1,000 Christians, bringing the church roll up to 1,564, which same does not represent the total number of Christians in the field. During the past eight months we have examined over 4,000 who were desirous of ex­ pressing their faith in Christ in baptism. The majority of these were en­ tered as followers, their names given to the teachers of the villages from which they came and were placed on probation for further instruction. Ours is a vast field and hundreds and even thousands are eagerly waiting for in­ struction and training in the Christian life.— T. E. Bubeck, Moanza.

Bengal-Orissa Yes, the temple doors are open. The depressed may for the first time in history enter to worship the gods so long denied them. Will they find within the temple power sufficient to lift them above the degradation of centuries? . . . W e cannot dismiss from our minds the fact that the six million and more Christians of India have almost entirely come from these same depressed classes. Whatever light and hope that has shone upon their pathway so far has come from Jesus. It also seems quite evident that many of the so-called reforms of the past have been an effort on the part of Hindus to counteract the spread of Christianity. We believe that the open door of the Hindu temple will not prove sufficient to stem the tide of the mass movement of the depressed towards Jesus Christ.—Edwin C. Brush, Khargpur.

Burma A gospel team, composed partly of seminary boys from Insein and partly of college boys, toured dozens of villages between Rangoon and Prome during October and ended up at the All-Burma Baptist Convention. One of the boys was a Mohammedan. He gave several talks to the villagers on rural recon­ struction, ending with a testimony as to his own Christian experience and addressed several informal meetings of Burmans at the Convention. Another boy came to college as a Buddhist but expects to be baptized in about two months. In Prome, his home town, he went from house to house with the gospel team, identifying himself with Christian evangelistic effort, showing a rare courage on his part. The leader of the trip was formerly a Buddhist monk and has had a very interesting religious experience. He is doing effec­ tive personal work with a number of students.—/. Russell Andrus, Rangoon. For 45 years the gospel has been preached in these villages, but only re­ cently has there been any noticeable movement toward Christianity. During the hot season, for example, a boy from the Thayetmyo school taught in the little village of Mibauk, and seven and a half months later we went there and it was truly marvelous the way those children and older people, too, could sing hymns, some in Chin, some in Burmese, and some in English. W e baptized 105 in three Chin villages in that area.—E. Carroll Condict, Thayetmyo. GENERAL REVIEW OF THE YEAR 25

East China This hospital is outspokenly Christian. W e not only accept without reserve the five general aims of Christian medical work propounded by the Laymen’s Commission, but ever since the inception of this work 30 years ago have our­ selves earnestly and consistently advocated them, and so far as circumstances permitted, practiced them. W e have claimed that the professional quality of our service must be the first desideratum. To do less would not be Chris­ tian, but can we do no more ? May we speak freely our convictions regarding health and disease, social welfare, politics, history or art, but in the realm of religion suddenly become dumb? . . . We know of many who in our wards and elsewhere first heard of the love of God and eagerly asked to hear more, who enjoyed the public singing of our hymns, who found comfort in prayer. God forgive us that we have not spoken more! Many have “ heard the word with gladness.”—F. W . Goddard, M. D., Shaohing. Japan A new phase of evangelistic work in Japan is the Bureau of Literature Evangelism, which has been in operation for a little over a year. It has manu­ factured and distributed phonograph records to churches and Christian work­ ers, and has distributed literature. Two books published attained sales total­ ing some 17,000 copies. The Christian Graphic, a monthly magazine, has an average circulation of 20,000. A new hymnal has already gone through four editions, more than 150,000 having been sold, and ranks among the best hymnals of the world. Like the old Japanese hymnal it will be a powerful means of spreading Christianity in Japan.—J. Spencer Kennard, Jr., Tokyo.

Philippine Islands Not long ago we visited a territory new to us, far to the interior. We found the people very interesting. During all these years they have never been touched by the Gospel. They live as they have lived for the past hun­ dreds of years. I was the first white man ever to reach their place and many of the children and young people had never so much as seen a person with a white skin. They do not smoke, gamble or drink and live in strictest monog­ amy. Their moral code is much higher than that of the average Filipino. None of the group can read or write save one lad of fifteen. Last June they built a little shack to serve as a school and paid the young teacher in rice to teach their children. We found them anxious to hear the Gospel story. They believed in Jesus and said they would like to follow Him. A worker has been assigned to them and they have pledged him full support. They have already begun to collect materials for the construction of a chapel. About fifty will be ready for baptism when we go up, so the report has come.—5. S'. Feldmann, Capis.

South China Forty miles northeast of Swatow, on the island of Nam-oa, is the little chapel of Au-theh. Not long ago a seminary student and I went over to con­ duct a preaching service and baptize several candidates, some of whom were the first of their family to take the step. Before returning to Kakchieh we 26 AMERICAN BAPTIST FOREIGN MISSION SOCIETY spent a morning in village evangelism. With a school band we went to a small village a short distance away and there held a fine meeting. The crowd that gathered around us gave evidence of the deep-rooted desire to know of the living God. Thus slowly but surely the Kingdom is coming in the villages of China. . . . Day before yesterday we went to a struggling little church in Jaiu-an, the country-seat across the border in Fukien Province. There the people maintain a free public school, an exception in China, and have already planned for something better than a hired chapel. They have found a desir­ able location for the new church they hope to build and have put aside nearly $150 to start the building fund.—K. G. Hobart, Swatow.

South India Last year we reported the awakening among the outcastes on this field and this year the story is continued. It is our great joy to report that the move­ ment has continued to grow in extent and intensity throughout the year. Be­ ginning in February we made three tours, covering the whole field. W e trav­ elled 700 miles, visited 118 villages, held 200 meetings, baptized 183 converts and preached the gospel to thousands of Sudras. After the touring season was over the work went on and month by month crowds of people came to the meetings, asking for baptism and instruction in the way of Christ. During the year 14 new villages have come over to Christianity, 64 villages sharing in the ingathering of hundreds of new members. The total number, 664, is the largest ever received by baptism in a single year on the Kurnool field.— W . A. Stanton, Kurnool.

West China The Quarterly Meetings! What times of special rejoicing they are, the times of reuniting of God’s people. They come from all the surrounding out- stations, sent as delegates by their respective groups of Christians. Through all the meetings ran the spirit of good fellowship and friendly interest neces­ sary for mutual help. It was inspiring to see the large number of young peo­ ple who were attending as inquirers. Day after day during the meetings they met for instruction in Bible and churchmanship. Twenty-one of them passed the examinations for church membership and on the Sunday morning, the last day of the meeting, they were baptized. . . . I could not but think of the pa­ tient and faithful work of cultivation done by the evangelists and leaders among their groups, during the preceding months. There is something grip­ ping in the conversion and entrance into church membership of those who have been willing to acknowledge Christ on the foreign field. It means some­ thing to them when to do it they have had to run the gauntlet of the scorn of friends, the rebuke of family, the renunciation of a much older and better known religion. We must continue to guide and encourage these new con­ verts. W e cannot leave them now.—M. O. Brininstool, Yachow.

The Laymen’s Foreign Missions Inquiry The Annual Reports for the last three years have related the genesis of the Laymen’s Foreign Missions Inquiry and the progress GENERAL REVIEW OF THE YEAR 27 of its study o f foreign missions. Early in the summer o f 1932 the Appraisal Commission, which had spent nine months visiting missions in India, China and Japan, returned to this country. Their report was submitted in September to the Directors of the Inquiry and shortly afterward copies were placed in the hands of the members of the Boards and the officers of the foreign mission organizations the work of which had been especially reviewed. On November 18-19, 1932, the Board members and officers were in­ vited to be guests of the Directors in the Hotel Roosevelt, New York, for the formal presentation of the Report of the Commis­ sion. On this same date the Report was made available to the general public under the title Re-Thinking Missions. During the month preceding that meeting the Directors of the Inquiry gave to the public press in this and other countries a series of releases embodying the more critical sections of the Report. These releases were widely read and, inasmuch as they raised seri­ ous questions regarding a number of important phases of foreign missionary work, considerable uneasiness was produced among the supporters of missions. In view of the misunderstandings thus created and the many inquiries directed to the foreign mission societies, it seemed desirable that the two Baptist Boards should clarify their position regarding the outstanding questions which had thus been raised. On November 21, 1932, therefore, the Boards adopted the following statement:

I. O rganization of L a y m e n ' s F oreig n M is s io n s I n q u ir y In the winter of 1929-30 a group of laymen connected with seven of the evangelical denominations held a number of conferences in which the work of foreign missions was considered. Ultimately an independent study of foreign missions was determined upon and India, China and Japan were chosen as the fields to be investigated. With this in view, the Laymen’s Foreign Missions Inquiry was organized under the chairmanship of Mr. Albert L. Scott. Their first step was to confer with the foreign mission boards of their own churches. The Boards of the American Baptist Foreign Mission Society and the Woman’s American Baptist Foreign Mission Society joined with those of six other denominations in agreeing to ask their missionaries on the various fields to extend every possible courtesy and assistance in the study. The Laymen’s Committee assumed all expense in connection with the inquiry.

II. Method of the Inquiry It was recognized that before any appraisal could be made of the work it was necessary to have definite facts. Therefore, beginning in the fall of 1930, a 28 AMERICAN BAPTIST FOREIGN MISSION SOCIETY

Fact-Finding Commission, divided into three sections, spent nine months in India, China and Japan. In the fall of 1931 a second group known as the Commission of Appraisal under the chairmanship of Dr. William Ernest Hocking was sent to visit the fields mentioned and its report was presented to the Boards of the seven denominations on November 18-19, 1932.

III. Publicity Releases by the Laymen's Committee During the month preceding the meeting with the Boards the Laymen’s Committee gave to the newspapers a series of releases consisting of selections taken from the report. These selections for the most part included the more critical sections of the report and to that extent misrepresented it, and they have undoubtedly caused considerable anxiety in the minds of supporters of the missionary enterprise. The unhappy effect produced by these extracts was accentuated by the fact that each newspaper substituted headlines of its own. The Boards regret that the critical nature of the releases was not offset by the quotation of more of the commendatory passages contained in the report so that our constituency might have been given a more just estimate of its contents.

IV. Observations on the Report 1. The Boards appreciate the deep interest of the group of laymen who have sponsored this study and who have financed it entirely independently of the Boards. 2. The report, as the Laymen’s Committee has made quite clear, is the work of its Commission of Appraisal and while we feel that it contains many valu­ able suggestions none of the mission boards is responsible for its observations or conclusions. 3. Many of the recommendations contained in the report cover ground en­ tirely familiar to the missionary organizations. Recommendations closely paralleling many of them will be discovered in such documents as the Foreign Mission Policies adopted by the Boards of Managers of the American Baptist Foreign Mission Society and the Woman’s American Baptist Foreign Mission Society in 1928, and in the reports of interdenominational conferences and commissions in which our Boards have been represented. Considerable prog­ ress has been made both by our Boards and others in putting many of these proposals into actual operation. These facts were freely admitted by the Commission in the conference with the Boards on November 18-19. 4. The Boards feel that the report does our missionaries less than justice. While, of course, they differ in ability, we believe them to be men and women of genuine devotion, sound training and beyond the average capacity. Their service calls for a high degree of self-sacrifice and many of them are bearing burdens far beyond their strength on account of our inability to send reenforce­ ments. W e hold them in the highest degree of esteem and affection. 5. The philosophical interpretation of the basis and scope of the missionary enterprise set forth in Part I of the report constitutes only one of several inter­ pretations as the Commission itself agrees. Our Boards have already ex­ pressed their own viewpoint which they believe to be in harmony with the GENERAL REVIEW OF THE YEAR 29 convictions generally held by Baptists and which is formulated in our joint statement of policies of 1928 referred to in Paragraph 3 above as follows: “ The paramount aim of the Christian missionary enterprise is to lead men everywhere to accept Jesus Christ as Saviour and Lord, through whom they may find the Father, and to establish among them New Testament churches which will maintain and propagate the teachings of Jesus Christ. In the de­ velopment of the Christian constituency and of the churches it was found necessary to establish institutions which were educational in character in order that national leaders might be prepared to assume responsibility in the conduct of church activities and in the development of personal evangelism.” 6. The specific recommendations presented in Parts II and III will be taken into serious consideration by the Boards of the two societies. It is manifest that a report of such a far-reaching nature and containing so many items of outstanding importance cannot be dealt with in a short space of time, especially as our missionary staff both at home and abroad must be taken into full con­ sultation. But the Boards and the missions upon the field will exercise the utmost dispatch in the study of the report giving consideration at the same time to other important studies recently made, such for example as the reports of the Commission on Christian Education in Japan, the Commission on Christian Higher Education in India, the meetings of the International Missionary Council and the reports of representatives of our own Boards who have made recent visits to the fields. 7. W e recognize that the report represents the convictions of thoughtful Christian leaders including members of our own constituency, after two years of careful study. While not all the conclusions and proposals found in it are acceptable to our Boards or are likely to prove acceptable to our constituency the report nevertheless constitutes an important appraisal of foreign missions and many of its critical and constructive suggestions may be found genuinely helpful. The friends of foreign missions will appreciate our difficulty if hasty and immature conclusions are reached by members of our constituency based upon the incomplete statements appearing in the press. The entire report will doubtless be widely read and carefully studied. W e trust that the statements which the Boards will issue from time to time may have the same considera­ tion. This preliminary statement will be followed very shortly by a further memorandum indicating the attitude of the Boards upon a number of important subjects covered by the report. In the meantime the work of our faithful representatives overseas, in whom we have the utmost confidence, must go on and we are counting upon the continuance of your loyal support. On December 10, 1932, a second statement was issued in which were discussed the continuance, the aim and the future of missions. A third statement dealing with missionary personnel was issued on December 24, 1932. On January 7, 1933, another statement was made which discussed the relation of the missionary enterprise to social and economic questions and interdenominational cooperation 30 AMERICAN BAPTIST FOREIGN MISSION SOCIETY in the conduct and administration of missions. Since these three statements merely amplified the position of the Boards as set forth in the first statement, it has not seemed necessary to incorporate them in this report. All four statements were mailed to pastors of Northern Baptist churches and were printed in the denominational press. These statements were issued to reassure the constituency in re­ spect to important matters of policy concerning which questions had been raised. The Boards, however, recognized the importance of the Report and the constructive value of many of its recommenda­ tions. The Committee on Denominational Objectives appointed by the Northern Baptist Convention, of which Dr. A. W . Beaven of Rochester, N. Y., is chairman, presented a report to the joint meet­ ing of the Board of Missionary Cooperation, the Executive and Finance Committees of the Northern Baptist Convention at Chi­ cago, 111., December 13, 1932, recommending that Re-Thinking Missions be studied throughout the denomination. It also re­ quested the Foreign Mission Boards to furnish the denomination with information on progress already made along the lines of the changes suggested. A brief study book entitled Northern Baptists Rethink Missions was prepared by Home Secretary P. H. J. Lerrigo in collaboration with the officers of the two societies. This volume was published by the Department of Missionary Education and has been used widely by mission study classes throughout the denomination. The chief value of the Report lies in its critical and constructive suggestions regarding the personnel, the methods and the adminis­ tration of the missionary enterprise. With a view to evaluating its criticisms and recommendations and to profiting by every one that may be recognized as valid, the two Baptist Boards have planned to give them very thorough and complete scrutiny. Each Board appointed a special committee for this purpose and these commit­ tees are working in cooperation in the study both of the Report and of the work of the Societies as conducted on the field. Particular attention has already been given to the ten principal conclusions in which the Appraisal Commission summed up the major results of its investigation. Detailed study is being given to some of the more specialized subjects dealt with in the Report, such as the character and functioning of the native churches, including the difficult prob­ GENERAL REVIEW OF THE YEAR 31 lem of self-support, progress in the transfer of responsibility to the native church, the qualifications and adaptability of the missionary staff, the extent and types of educational work, the desirability of and opportunity for increased cooperation with other denominations in certain phases of missionary work. The Boards recognize the necessity for frequent changes and readjustments in the methods and in the details of the program of missionary effort. They endeavor always to maintain an attitude of hospitality to suggestions for such changes. In the case of each change proposed, however, they wish to assure themselves that it is for the best interests of the work and is consistent with the funda­ mental aim o f missions as conceived by the Boards. The thorough­ going study which the Boards contemplate cannot be accomplished hastily. Time will be required for examination of the facts and impressions recorded by the Fact-Finders as well as by the Ap­ praisers and for the checking of the criticisms and suggestions with the missionaries and with groups o f national leaders on the fields. The Boards will not hesitate to make changes when convinced of their wisdom and will advise the constituency of all important modifications of present policies and methods.

A Mission of Fellowship In the fall of 1932 there went from India to England a “ Mission of Fellowship” made up of Bishop Azariah of Dornakal, Principal Varki of Alywe College, Ralla Ram, Student Secretary of the Young Men’s Christian Association, and Ma Nyein Tha, a gradu­ ate of Judson College and Headmistress of Morton Lane School, Moulmein. In four months the “missioners” visited England, Ireland, Wales and Scotland, and addressed over 250 meetings. Keen interest was shown not only by churches but by municipal authorities, chambers of commerce and Rotary Clubs. Visits to universities and secondary schools were fruitful parts of the mis­ sion’s work. A fitting culmination was a reception by their Majesties, the King and Queen. The London Times, in a striking editorial, said: Not only has the mission been the fulfilment of many hopes, and as such of great value, but it has been even more significant for the promise which it holds. Those who planned it will be encouraged to arrange other missions of the same kind, so that the cities in which the Indians have shared their ex­ 32 AMERICAN BAPTIST FOREIGN MISSION SOCIETY perience with British Christians may welcome in due time Christians from China, Japan, Africa and other lands in the East and the South. In this new development in the history of missions, when the younger churches of the East send a Mission of Fellowship to the older churches of the West, the Board and the Burma Mission are gratified that a Baptist graduate of Judson College was a member of this notable group..

Deputation to British India For several years the Burma Mission has been urging the critical importance of a visit by a deputation during the year 1932—33. Changing political conditions, serious reductions in grants-in-aid from government for educational institutions and decreased appro­ priations from America were making inevitable adjustments in mis­ sion work so serious in character as to demand the counsel of special representatives of the Board. In August, therefore, Foreign Secre­ tary J. C. Robbins sailed for an extended visit to Burma and the three missions in India where the problems are only slightly less critical than in Burma. Since the problems in the educational insti­ tutions were especially acute, it was felt that the deputation should include an experienced educator. The Board was fortunate in en­ listing the services of Secretary F. W . Padelford of the Board of Education, which generously released him. He sailed six weeks after Dr. Robbins and j oined him in Burma. They made a thorough study of the entire Baptist mission school system in Burma and sub­ mitted recommendations to the Burma Conference. From their report a new program is being formulated, including transfer of larger responsibility to the indigenous churches and their leaders. Not least important of the responsibilities of Dr. Robbins and Dr. Padelford has been the bringing of new hope and counsel and en­ couragement to the missionaries and the Burmese, Karen and In­ dian Christians.

Secretary Franklin’s Visit to Europe In the summer of 1932 Foreign Secretary J. H. Franklin, in company with Dr. W . O. Lewis, the Society’s special representa­ tive in Europe, visited Baptists in France, Belgium, Germany, Czechoslovakia, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia. They gave particular attention to portions of Eastern Europe, where they GENERAL REVIEW OF THE YEAR 33 found much in the life of the struggling Baptist groups to inspire confidence for the future. The churches are composed chiefly of humble and plain but thoroughly devout people. Many of the churches meet in private homes and have lay leaders as pastors. It seems clear that the progress which in the face o f many difficulties is being made by the Baptists in these countries on the border of Russia is due to a considerable degree to the number of lay workers and the large amount of volunteer service. The Board is distressed that in Eastern Europe, as elsewhere, large reductions in expendi­ tures are necessary, even though the opportunities for service are so inviting. On the homeward journey Dr. Franklin extended his tour to include visits to Baptists in Sweden, Denmark and Norway. In this connection the Board would record again its appreciation of the service of Dr. W . O. Lewis who is now completing his eleventh year of significant service among the Baptists of Europe. He has an exceptionally intimate knowledge of their life and work and has made a large place for himself in their hearts.

The Board of Managers With a view to economy, the Board of Managers continued the emergency plan of the previous year of holding bi-monthly instead of monthly meetings. During the year there were six meetings, all held at the headquarters in New York, with an average attendance of 22. In addition, by authorization of the Board, there were two meetings of the Executive Committee. As a further economy measure the usual meeting in connection with the annual meeting of the Society was cancelled. Four members, who had special re­ sponsibilities in connection with the Northern Baptist Convention, were authorized to attend the annual meeting at San Francisco, Cal., and they and other members of the Board who were at the Conven­ tion met there to care for emergency items of business. At its organization meeting in September the Board reelected Herbert J. White, Alton L. Miller and William B. Lipphard respec­ tively as Chairman, Vice-Chairman and Recording Secretary. With the resignation of Dr. Lipphard effective on January 1, 1933, further reference to which is made elsewhere in this Report, Asso­ ciate Secretary Paul E. Alden was elected as Recording Secretary. Among the many important items of business, two have demanded special attention, the financial pressure caused by the prolonged 34 AMERICAN BAPTIST FOREIGN MISSION SOCIETY economic crisis and the Report of the Laymen’s Foreign Missions Inquiry. At the invitation of the Directors of the Inquiry, 26 mem­ bers of the Board and all of the Secretaries attended the meetings at the Hotel Roosevelt, New York, on November 18-19, 1932, when the Report of the Inquiry was formally presented to the foreign mission boards. In order to permit prompt consideration of the Report a meeting of the Board was held on November 21-22, a special feature being discussion of the Report by Missionaries W il­ liam Axling of Japan, E. H. Clayton of East China, Thorlief Wathne of South India and W . E. Wiatt of Burma. In January Albert L. Scott of New York and Edgar H. Betts of Troy, N. Y., Baptist members of the Appraisal Commission, Secretary C. H. Sears of the New York City Baptist Mission Society, a member of the Japan Fact-Finders group, and C. C. Tillinghast of New York, Vice-Chairman of the Baptist Committee of the Inquiry, attended a joint session of the Board with the Woman’s Board. They dis­ cussed the Report with special reference to their observation of the work in the Baptist missions. Fifteen missionaries on furlough attended Board meetings, a number of whom gave informing and inspiring reports of their work, as follow s: Rev. William Axling of Japan, Rev. S. A. D. Boggs of Assam, Rev. R. B. Buker of Burma, Dr. R. S. Buker of Burma, Mr. and Mrs. Chester Chartrand of Burma, Mr. E. H. Clayton of East China, Mr. D. S. Dye of West China, Rev. G. S. Jury of Burma, Dr. H. W. Kirby of Assam, Rev. A. I. Nasmith of East China, Mr. H. W . Smith of Burma, Rev. Thorlief Wathne of South India, Rev. W . E. Wiatt of Burma, Rev. W . M. Young of Burma. Other visitors included Rev. Robert Farelly of France, Dr. Chester S. Miao of China, Prof. B. C. Mukerji of India, who shared with the Board their observations of the progress of Christian work in their own lands. The representative character of the Board in both residence and vocation continues notable. Nine states and the District of Colum­ bia are represented in its membership, while vocationally fifteen members are pastors, five are educators, one is a banker, three are lawyers and four are business men.

Resignation of William B. Lipphard After 20 years of constructive service, Associate Secretary William B. Lipphard severed his official connection with the Society GENERAL REVIEW OF TH E YEAR 35 on December 31, 1932 to become Editor of Missions. A s an ex­ pression of its appreciation for his significant contributions to its work, the Board at its November meeting adopted the following resolution: In accepting the resignation of William B. Lipphard, D. D., from the Asso­ ciate Secretaryship of the American Baptist Foreign Mission Society, to take effect January 1, 1933, and from the Recording Secretaryship, to take effect at the close of the next annual meeting of the Northern Baptist Convention, the Board of Managers records the following Minute of Appreciation. On the date when his 'resignation takes effect Dr. Lipphard, who leaves the service of the Society to accept the appointment of the Board of Missionary Cooperation to the editorship of Missions, will have been on the secretarial staff of the Society for twenty years. Through his relation to the Home Department as Assistant and Associate Secretary, he has borne a large share in the detailed and exacting responsibilities of administration. For fifteen years he has with great acceptance served the Board as its Recording Secre­ tary. Dr. Lipphard’s contribution has, however, by no means been confined to office and desk. He has multiplied his contacts with the home constituency and the world field. Piloting the “ Ship of Fellowship,” participating in Euro­ pean Relief after the World War, visiting the Society’s fields in the Far East, attending the Baptist World Congress at Stockholm, touring Russia, he has extended the Society’s contacts, widened his own horizons, and won a back­ ground and much material for his significant literary contribution to the cause of Christian missions. While sensible of its own great loss through his resignation, the Board of Managers recognizes the fitness of Dr. Lipphard for the editorship of Missions, a fitness proven by his long association in that service with Dr. Howard B. Grose, who is now retiring. The Board, moreover, feels assured that in this capacity, Dr. Lipphard will continue to serve the Society and the great cause which it represents. The Board extends to him its hearty congratulations, and assures him of its affectionate interest in his new undertaking and of its confidence that in this new relation he will achieve a large measure of success. May the blessing of God be upon him and upon us as we face the yet unfinished task.

Secretarial Staff The adjustments in the secretarial staff outlined in last year’s report were consummated during the year. These included the be­ ginning of the service of Associate Secretary O. H. Sisson with special responsibility for the promotion of special gifts, annuities and legacies for the Society’s work, the transfer of Associate Secre­ tary Paul E. Alden from the Candidate Department to the Home Department and the assuming by the Foreign Department of respon­ 36 AMERICAN BAPTIST FOREIGN MISSION SOCIETY sibility for cultivation of candidates for foreign mission service. During the summer of 1932 Foreign Secretary J. H. Franklin visited the countries of Europe toward the Baptist work in which the So­ ciety makes appropriations. Foreign Secretary J. C. Robbins has spent the greater part of the year in a visit of strategic importance to the missions in India and Burma. In his absence the corre­ spondence with the India missions has been conducted by Associate Secretary R. L. Howard, who has also had oversight of the work of the Candidate Department. Just before the close of the year Asso­ ciate Secretary Paul E. Alden notified the Board of his desire to re­ turn to pastoral work and to sever his connection with the Society as soon as he could locate elsewhere. The year has been one of un­ usual stress for all departments. The financial pressure has de­ manded the greatest care from the Foreign, Budget and Treasury Departments on the one hand to bring the expenditures within the limits of the reduced income with the least possible injury to the work. On the other hand it has called for redoubled efforts by the Home Department to maintain the interest and support of churches and individuals. The study of the Report of the Laymen’s Foreign Missions Inquiry and the building of a budget at a new low level have required substantial time and energy. All officers have con­ tinued the plan, voluntarily initiated in the previous year, of return­ ing substantial portions of their salaries as contributions to the work of the Society.

Twenty Years’ Service of James H. Franklin On May 1, 1932, James H. Franklin completed 20 years as Foreign Secretary of the Society. In recognition of his note­ worthy service the Board at its meeting in May adopted the fol­ lowing resolution: Twenty years ago at the May meeting James H. Franklin assumed his Foreign Secretaryship. We pause in our deliberations today to express our deep gratitude to God for him, one of God’s richest gifts to our Society. These twenty years have been a period of stress and strain unexampled in our history, a time of war, controversy and perplexity, an epoch which has tried the courage, the wisdom and the faith of Christian men. Yet under the guidance of Dr. Franklin and his colleagues our ship has steadily held to its course despite raging storms and furious seas. He has been a careful, sympa­ thetic, far-seeing administrator, quick to apprehend the new situations which have so rapidly succeeded each other in our changing world, and to take ad­ GENERAL REVIEW OF THE YEAR 37 vantage of them for Christ and His Kingdom. He is one of our greatest Christian statesmen, but best of all a simple, earnest, modest, devoted and brotherly Christian. W e deeply appreciate his self-sacrificing labors. He has crossed the oceans and penetrated deeply into Europe, Asia and Africa. He has sailed up and down the Niger, the Congo, the Yangtse and the Min. Like Paul, he could speak of “ journeyings often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in perils by my own countrymen, in perils by the heathen, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in weariness and painfulness, in watchings often, and, be­ sides these things which are without, that which cometh to me daily, anxiety for all the churches.” Time would fail us to speak of the outstanding achieve­ ments which Christ has worked through him. In closing we wish to express to him once more our deep affection for him, our entire confidence in him, and our most earnest prayer that he may long continue with his colleagues to guide the affairs of the Society. And we also wish to assure his noble wife and his devoted daughter that we are not forget­ ful of the sacrifices that they make and the loneliness they endure that the hus­ band and the father may accomplish his course and the ministry which he has received from the Lord Jesus to testify to many peoples the gospel of the grace of God.

Literary Service of Officers At the invitation of the Missionary Education Movement, Foreign Secretary J. H. Franklin has written, under the title The Never Failing Light, the adult mission study book for the year 1933-34. It will be widely used during the coming year in summer assemblies and church schools of missions in all denominations. As announced on page 28, Home Secretary P. H. J. Lerrigo, in collaboration with the officers of the Society and of the Woman’s Society, prepared the study book, Northern Baptists Rethink Missions, which has been used by many churches and groups in considering the Report of the Laymen’s Foreign Missions Inquiry.

The Meeting of the International Missionary Council The International Missionary Council held its triennial meeting at Herrnhut, Germany, June 23-July 4, 1932. Some sixty dele­ gates were in attendance representing more than thirty National Christian Councils. Among them were Foreign Secretary J. H. Franklin and Missionary William Axling, who was a delegate of the National Christian Council of Japan. The Council faced frankly the critical problems confronting the missionary enterprise includ- ing a growing racial consciousness, an increasing nationalism, a ruthless economic and industrial development and a secularized 38 AMERICAN BAPTIST FOREIGN MISSION SOCIETY attitude towards life. Among the important findings upon which the delegates agreed were the recognition that the major concern must be how to know the will of God, how to discover divine re­ sources and how to release divine forces; the conviction that in its world mission Christianity must have a full-orbed program for the whole life of every man; and the realization that the present eco­ nomic stringency and the colossal problems of the present call for a vastly increased cooperation upon the part of all evangelical Christians.

Foreign Missions Conference of North America Certain changes were instituted this year in the manner of con­ duct of the Foreign Missions Conference of North America. The present period of international disturbance and domestic distress combined with such elements as the report of the Appraisal Com­ mission of the Laymen’s Foreign Missions Inquiry and the neces­ sity for drastic readjustments in the work of every foreign mission society to render the meeting one of unusual importance. The an­ nual meeting of the Conference was held in December instead of January, in order to make possible the prompt evaluation of the sit­ uation in the light of the Laymen’s report. Home Secretary P. H. J. Lerrigo, as president of the Conference, occupied the chair during its sessions. By limiting the attendance to executive officers of the various missionary organizations, the meeting was made truly deliberative and full opportunity was given for exchange of opinion upon the effects of the economic crisis, upon the delicate and intricate problems of missionary personnel, upon the newly emerging pos­ sibilities of larger cooperation and upon the demand for a united presentation to the home constituency of the needs and merits of foreign missions. A challenging message came from the meeting of the Interna­ tional Missionary Council held at Herrnhut, Germany, June 23- July 4,1932. This world gathering of missionary leaders developed still further the plans and principles prepared at the Jerusalem meeting of the Council in 1928. The Herrnhut message supple­ mented the Jerusalem findings, especially in its urgent call for the evangelical missions to adopt new and courageous measures of fel­ lowship to meet the multiplied difficulties of the present. Accept­ ing this challenge the Foreign Missions Conference began the de- GENERAL REVIEW OF THE YEAR 39 velopment of new plans for joint study of the work abroad and for enlarged cooperation both on the foreign fields and at the home base.

The Board of Missionary Cooperation The work of the Board of Missionary Cooperation, under the leadership of Executive Secretary W . H. Bowler, has been es­ pecially difficult during the past year. Every effort has been made to help the churches of the denomination, many of which were labor­ ing under circumstances of extraordinary stress, to maintain their missionary passion and to continue their contributions to the unified budget. An extensive itinerary was arranged for Dr. C. O. John­ son, President of the Northern Baptist Convention, during the course of which he touched most of the larger centers of population. Field Secretary A. W . Rider and Associate Secretary O. H. Sisson gave considerable time to the field work of the Board of Missionary Cooperation and rendered effective service in sustaining missionary interest. The Field Activities Department also cooperated with the Foreign Missions Conference of North America in a series of interdenominational conferences in the eastern and mid-western states. In the field of literature, the January promotional booklet was the outstanding publication. Under the title Streets it set forth in vivid descriptions and attractive illustrations the spiritual needs on city streets and country roads and the means by which the Gospel is brought to them by missionaries at home and abroad. Over 374,000 copies were distributed. In view of the financial inability of the Foreign Mission Societies to publish Overseas, the Board of Missionary Cooperation decided to add to The Book of Remem­ brance some of the features of this publication and of the Home Mission Societies’ similar booklet, From Ocean to Ocean. This new denominational guide book entitled Action has been very favor­ ably received.

The “ Pray It Through” Movement It was recognized early in the year that the prevailing financial distress would unquestionably have an unfavorable effect upon the year’s receipts, and means were sought to make good the probable deficiency. A special committee was appointed by the Board of Missionary Cooperation to frame a plan with this end 40 AMERICAN BAPTIST FOREIGN MISSION SOCIETY in view. Dr. Bernard C. Clausen of Syracuse, N. Y., who repre­ sented the Society upon the committee, served as its chairman and under his leadership the “ Pray It Through” plan was launched. The movement was inaugurated at the meetings of the Northern Baptist Convention at San Francisco, Cal., July 12-17, 1932, at which time, after listening to Dr. Clausen’s appeal, well nigh the entire audience responded to the challenge with a promise to help to meet the present situation by daily prayer. The inspiration of this first meeting was carried throughout the country by the dele­ gates and, under the leadership of the committee, more than 100,000 Baptists signed the “Pray It Through” cards. Dr. Clausen him­ self visited sixteen important centers in eleven states in carrying the “Pray It Through” message to the constituency. Prayer cards were distributed monthly and a special offering was taken Febru­ ary 12, 1933. Unquestionably this special effort has been of im­ portance in preventing an even greater decline in the receipts of the year.

Interdenominational Promotional Conferences One of the measures proposed by the Foreign Missions Con­ ference was a joint promotional effort with a view to bringing afresh to the hearts and minds of the evangelical constituencies in the larger centers of the country the compelling needs and over­ whelming challenge of the foreign mission enterprise. It was agreed that a series of joint conferences should be held by the foreign mission societies during the spring of 1933 and that a more extended series of similar meetings should be planned for the fall and winter of 1933-34. It was recalled that in previous years under the leadership of the Laymen’s Missionary Movement, interdenominational gatherings had been a powerful instrument for the stimulation of interest in world missions. With the absorp­ tion of the Laymen’s Missionary Movement in the Interchurch W orld Movement this type of gathering had been discontinued and missionary leaders have felt for many years that the needs of the work urgently demanded its reestablishment. Several of these conferences have already been carried out effectively. The Field Activities Committee of the Board of Missionary Cooperation is lending effective aid in this joint evangelical movement. Thirty- nine missionary societies are cooperating in the plan. GENERAL REVIEW OF THE YEAR 41

Deputation Service of Missionaries A n invaluable part o f the promotional work each year is the visita­ tion of churches by missionaries on furlough. With their vivid, up-to-date reports of the progress of the work of Christ in their own fields, they are always in demand. Most of their appointments are made by the Field Activities Department of the Board of Mission­ ary Cooperation, which also provides the greater part of the expense for this work. Two outstanding pieces of deputation work have been done this year by missionaries of the Society. Rev. William Axling of Japan between March 4 and December 31, 1932 gave 265 missionary addresses to more than 45,000 people. During the winter Dr. and Mrs. C. E. Manley of South India made an exten­ sive itinerary in which they visited 39 churches in the larger cities of the Northern Baptist Convention and gave a stirring dramatic presentation of the spiritual need of India’s people to approximately 19,000 people. Other missionaries on furlough have rendered val­ uable aid in deputation work for such periods of time as health and special studies would permit. In addition to those whose names have been given in the Annual Report for recent years, the following missionaries participated in this w ork: Mrs. P. R. Bakeman of East China, Rev. R. B. Buker of Burma, Dr. R. S. Buker of Burma, Rev. J. E. Cummings of Burma, Rev. D. S. Dye of West China, Rev. V. W. Dyer of Burma, Rev. W. G. Evans of Burma, Mrs. Ola Hanson of Burma, Rev. D. C. Holtom of Japan, Rev. G. W . Jury of Burma, Rev. B. M. Johnson of South India, Rev. W . J. Longley of South India, Rev. J. H. Oxreider of Bengal-Orissa, Mrs. J. C. Richardson of Burma, Rev. J. M. Smith of Burma, Mrs. Paul Sornberger of Philippine Islands, Mrs. E. E. Sowards of Burma, Rev. J. H. Telford of Burma, Rev. Thorlief Wathne of South India, Rev. W . E. Wiatt of Burma, Rev. N. E. Woodbury of Burma, Rev. William Young of Burma.

Missions Magazine An important development in the management of the joint mis­ sionary magazine Missions took place in connection with the retire­ ment on December 31, 1932 of Dr. Howard B. Grose as Editor and the election of Associate Secretary W . B. Lipphard as his successor. For 23 years Dr. Grose served as Editor of Missions. He not only created the magazine which brought all the missionary interests of the denomination together in one publicity organ but also initiated the policies and methods which have placed Missions in the fore­ 42 AMERICAN BAPTIST FOREIGN MISSION SOCIETY front of missionary publications, denominational and interdenomina­ tional. The Society is deeply indebted to Dr. Grose for his fruitful and unstinted efforts to make the joint magazine what it is, especially as a considerable part of this service was rendered after the age at which most men find it needful to retire from active work. In the conduct of the magazine through almost a quarter of a century, Dr. Grose’s sympathetic insight and balanced judgment have made a contribution of large permanent value to the development of the missionary enterprise at home and abroad. W ith Dr. Lipphard as the new Editor, the magazine is in com­ petent and experienced hands. In 1922 the Board freed him from some of his duties with the Society in order that he might devote one-third of his time to Missions as Associate Editor, and since 1926 his time has been divided equally between the magazine and the Society. The issues which have been published since he became Editor on January 1, 1933 give clear evidence that its high standard of excellence will be maintained.

The Denominational Press A regrettable occurrence in the denominational life was the dis­ continuance of The Baptist on January 14, 1933. Under various names, The Baptist and its predecessors, The Standard, The Journal and Messenger, and Zion's Advocate, had served the denomination for 80 years. In common with most religious periodicals its sub­ scription list had grown steadily smaller in recent years, a tendency which was accelerated during the depression years. In June, 1932, publication on a fortnightly basis Avas undertaken with the hope of meeting the present crisis. It became increasingly clear, however, to the group of laymen who purchased The Baptist from the de­ nomination in 1930 that further publication would be possible only with additional funds which were not available. Arrangements were made with The Christian Century to take over the subscription list o f The Baptist. The loss to the denomination involved in this step can hardly be measured. The Board deeply regrets its neces­ sity and takes this opportunity to record its appreciation of the hearty cooperation of Editor R. A. Ashworth and his staff. Under the title The Baptist World a new denominational paper began fortnightly publication on April 1, 1933, under the editorship of Rev. Frank W . Alexander, pastor of the First Baptist Church of GENERAL REVIEW OF THE YEAR 43

Mansfield, Mass. This new publication and its editor will have the heartiest wishes o f the denomination as it begins its service. A ll of the denominational papers have extended the courtesy of their columns to the Society for news of the work throughout the year. This cooperation was particularly extended in the printing at bi­ weekly intervals of the extended statements made by the boards concerning the report of the Laymen’s Foreign Missions Inquiry.

Freewill Baptist Foreign Mission Centenary The past year has marked the one hundredth anniversary of the Freewill Baptist Foreign Mission Society, which was granted a charter by the legislature of the State of Maine on January 29, 1833. This organization sprang from sources closely allied to those of the foreign mission undertakings of the Baptists and General Baptists of England and the Baptists and Congregationalists of America. The kindling missionary interest of the Freewill Bap­ tists was fanned into flame by a challenging letter and later by an extended visit from Amos Sutton, a missionary sent to India by the General Baptists of England, whose wife was the widow of James Coleman, one of the early co-workers of Adoniram Judson. To the untiring efforts and missionary zeal of Amos Sutton can also be traced the opening of American Baptist work in South India and probably in Assam. In 1836, the first four missionaries of Freewill Baptists, Rev. and Mrs. Eli Noyes of Maine and Rev. and Mrs. Jeremiah Phillips of New York, sailed for India. They began their work at Cut­ tack in connection with the English Baptist Mission. Sambalpur, the first station, was opened in 1837, but on account of its unhealth- fulness the work was transferred, in 1838, to Balasore, which be­ came the first permanent station of the Freewill Baptist Mission. Hardship was the portion of these pioneers. Within a few years Mr. and Mrs. Noyes and Mrs. Phillips died, but Dr. Phillips con­ tinued his work with undaunted zeal. With the aid of Dr. O. R. Bacheler, who, with his wife, had reached India in 1840, work was begun among the Santals, a strong, pre-Hindu race. The develop­ ment of this people through the power of the Gospel of Christ and the devoted service of the missionaries forms one of the stir­ ring chapters of missionary history. Freewill Baptist women played an important part in the mis­ 44 AMERICAN BAPTIST FOREIGN MISSION SOCIETY sionary work of their denomination. In 1847, the Freewill Bap­ tist Female Missionary Society was formed. It is said to be the first national woman’s society of any kind. Its effectiveness is evidenced by an increase of 300 per cent in the next few years in the denomination’s contributions for foreign missions. Through the union of the Free Baptist and Baptist denomina­ tions in 1911 this work in India became the Bengal-Orissa Mis­ sion of the Society. Located as it is in the very stronghold of Hinduism, the work has always been hard and advance slow. Nevertheless, missionaries have labored throughout the century with unfailing courage and devotion. Thirty-four churches with 2,686 members serve as eloquent witness to their labor. Of the 24 missionaries in service at the time of the union only four are still on the field, Dr. Mary W . Bacheler, daughter of the pioneers, Dr. and Mrs. O. R. Bacheler, with 57 years of devoted service to her own credit, Miss Sarah B. Gowen, and Rev. and Mrs. H. I. Frost, who were appointed early in 1911, shortly before the union was consummated. On January 16, 1933, the Board met in joint session with the Board of Managers of the Woman’s Society to observe this cen­ tenary. Inspiring historical papers were read by Dr. A. W . Jef­ ferson of Lynn, Mass., a member of the Board, and by Mrs. Lena Fenner Dennett of Providence, R. I., a member of the Woman’s Board. Informal remarks were made by other former Freewill Baptists present, Dr. Rivington Lord of Brooklyn, N. Y., presi­ dent of the American Baptist Home Mission Society, Dr. A. W. Anthony of the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America, and Secretary Harry S. Myers of the Board of Mission­ ary Cooperation. Two notes were emphasized by all who spoke, the rich spiritual heritage of the past century and the complete character of the Baptist-Free Baptist union. This latter point was recently well expressed in a letter by a former Free Baptist leader:

It is now twenty-two years since the agreements (Baptist-Free Baptist) went into effect. I do not think it is at all important that we should stress detailed exactness in the further carrying out of those agreements. Our Bap­ tist friends have taken over the Free Baptist interests and can deal with them as intelligently and conscientiously as any Free Baptist can. . . . I am of the opinion that Free Baptists have themselves entered so cordially into the Bap­ tist household of faith as to no longer have distinctive feelings. GENERAL REVIEW OF THE YEAR 45

Plans are now being formulated for suitable centennial ob­ servances in 1936 of the opening of the work in Bengal-Orissa.

One Hundred Years of Baptist Work in France

The year has also marked the completion of 100 years of coopera­ tion of the Board with Baptists in France. In the years 1832 and 1833 two young Frenchmen were immersed upon profession of faith. At about the same time the Triennial Baptist Convention of America decided to make some investigations in France. Late*in 1832 Professor Irah Chase of Newton Theological Institution was sent to France with Rev. C. Rostan who had emigrated from France to the United States. Finding the way open, it was decided that Mr. Rostan should remain in France. The work began with prom­ ise, but Mr. Rostan died of cholera. Others, however, took his place and in 1835 the first Baptist church in France was organized at Douai, where a few years later a school was founded to train evan­ gelists and pastors. In spite of persecution and many obstacles the work grew until in 1895 there were 2,000 Baptists in France. Since that date new problems have arisen. The W orld W ar scattered most of the churches in northern France. There are now about the same number o f Baptists as in 1895. Though the membership is small, Baptists have made significant contributions to the religious life of France. They have been pioneers in evangelistic work, have led in the movements for temperance and for Sunday observance, and were mainly responsible for introducing Daily Vacation Bible Schools into France.

German Baptist Cooperation in South India

In 1882 Miss Emma Rauschenbusch (now Mrs. John E. Clough) when en route to South India, visited a number of the Baptist churches in Germany. As a result the Baptist women of Germany organized the Zenana Mission to aid in work for orphans and the women in the zenanas in South India. When in September 1932 the jubilee of this work was celebrated, Mr. G. Reibert, Chairman of the Zenana Mission Committee forwarded a letter of greeting to the Society from which the following paragraph (translated from German) is quoted: 46 AMERICAN BAPTIST FOREIGN MISSION SOCIETY

It is now fifty years since the Lord, through the good offices of your mis­ sionary, Miss Emma Rauschenbusch, gave to the German Baptist women and young people the opportunity to have a modest share in your blessed mission work among the Telugus, through the payment of the salaries of some Bible women. At that time no one had any idea that this fellowship in service, at first sponsored by our sister and her late husband Dr. John E. Clough, and above all by the warm interest of our honored friend Dr. J. Heinrichs, would assume the proportions to which it has grown today. Under the care of our brethren, Missionaries Unruh, Hubert and Penner, this cooperation with you has gradually extended so as to include the support of children in the boarding schools. W e recognize in this development the clear leading of our God. Therefore we thank Him for the commission He gave us 50 years ago, as also for the blessings which He caused to accrue to us through the work of the Bible women and the education of the children in which we had a share. But we thank you also, dear Brethren, that you with Christian courtesy have granted us an opportunity for cooperation in your old Baptist mission field.

The Two-Hundredth Anniversary of Moravian Missions The Board took pleasure in extending formal greeting to the Moravian Brotherhood which in the summer of 1932 celebrated the completion of 200 years of missionary work, the anniversary coinciding with the meeting of the International Missionary Council which has already been described. From the little town of Herrn- hut, Germany, appropriately called the birthplace of modern mis­ sions, two laboring men, a potter and a carpenter, set out in 1732 for the West Indies to preach the Gospel to the slaves while they earned their living by the tools of their trade. During the past two centuries more than 3,000 Moravian missionaries have gone out to all parts of the world. While other Protestant communions have averaged one foreign missionary to 5,000 members, the Moravian Church has averaged one to sixty. It is the only denomination which has a larger membership on its mission fields than in the homelands, 50,000 in Europe and America and 200,000 on its thirteen mission fields.

Plans for the Baptist World Alliance After a careful study including correspondence with Baptists throughout the world, the Executive Committee of the Baptist World Alliance decided to postpone until the summer of 1934 the meeting of the Alliance which was originally scheduled to be held in August 1933 at Berlin, Germany. Although regrettable, this de­ cision met with general approval because of the increasing economic GENERAL REVIEW OF THE YEAR 47 pressure in all countries and the grave political situation in Ger­ many. A meeting of the Alliance in 1934, will have special historic significance, since the year marks two Baptist centennials, that of the birth of Charles Haddon Spurgeon in England and that of the founding of the first Baptist Church in Germany at Hamburg on April 23, 1834.

The End of Life’s Journey With deep regret the Board records the death of eleven mission­ aries during the past year. One has served 53 years, one of the longest records in the annals of the Society; four had given over 40 years each and the rest, with one exception, had served 25 years or more. The list includes the founder of Baptist mission work in the Philippine Islands. Still the work goes on, for they have left behind them a vast unfinished task for the Master whom they served.

Percival R. Bakeman Rev. Percival R. Bakeman died at Malden, Mass.. December 17. 1932. He was born on February 18, 1882, and was graduated from Brown University in 1903, and from Newton Theological Institution in 1906. Appointed to foreign service in 1906, he and Mrs. Bakeman were designated to Hangchow, China. In 1919 he became a teacher in the theological department of Shanghai College, now the University of Shanghai. Here he had an exceptional oppor­ tunity to influence young men and women, many of whom have become leaders and who are helping to mould the China of tomorrow. As evangelistic repre­ sentative of the East China Mission, Mr. Bakeman became the adviser to the ministers and evangelistic workers, a task which necessitated much traveling throughout that large area. Redesignated to Hangchow in October 1926, Mr. Bakeman continued in evangelistic work until his return to America in 1928. His health repeatedly frustrated his efforts to return to China, where his Chi­ nese and missionary colleagues were eager to welcome him.

Mrs. Clarence L. Davenport Mrs. Clara Lawrence Davenport, M. D., wife of Rev. C. L. Davenport, died November 10, 1932, at Hemet, Cal. She was born February 14, 1860, in Nashua, N. H., and was graduated from Boston University School of Medi­ cine in 1888. On July 3, 1895, she was married to Rev. C. L. Davenport, and together they sailed for Burma, designated to Sandoway. They served in Mandalay from 1901 to 1914 and were then transferred to Moulmein, where they carried on a splendid work, until ill health compelled their return to the homeland in 1920 after nearly 26 years of service. Since 1921 their home had been in Hemet, Cal., where Mr. Davenport was pastor of the Baptist Church 48 AMERICAN BAPTIST FOREIGN MISSION SOCIETY

until 1927, when he resigned to give his undivided attention to the care of Mrs. Davenport, then a helpless invalid.

Mrs. Webster S. Davis Mrs. Della Lowden Davis, wife of Rev. Webster S. Davis, died at her home in Athens, Pa., on April 16, 1933, after 41 years of missionary service. Mrs. Davis was born February 16, 1868, and with her husband received appointment to foreign service in February 1892. Upon arrival in South India they were asked to take charge of the Allur field, the new mission district formed by the division of the large Nellore field. To the evangelistic and educational work of this station they devoted their entire missionary career until their return to America to retire in November 1928. Their eldest son, Rev. E. Bixler Davis, is now in charge of the work in Allur. Frederick H. Eveleth On November 30, 1932, Rev. Frederick H. Eveleth, D. D., died at Albany, N. Y. He had served with the Society for 41 years (1873-1914). Doctor Eveleth was born in Durham, Me., March 21, 1843, was graduated from Colby College in 1870, and from Newton Theological Institution in 1873. In Febru­ ary 1873 he and Mrs. Eveleth were appointed to mission service and in October they sailed for Burma, where they were designated to evangelistic work in Toungoo. He was transferred in 1885 to the Mission Press in Rangoon for literary and educational work. Later he was identified with the Burman Theological Seminary as its president but in 1909 he resigned, and after a period of rest, resumed his literary work finally completing the entire Bur- mese-English dictionary. In 1914 Dr. and Mrs. Eveleth returned to America and retired. Mrs. Eveleth died in January 1916. Ephraim H. Jones Rev. Ephraim H. Jones, for 35 years a missionary of the Society, died in Los Angeles, Cal., December 24, 1932. He was born in St. John, N. B., Can­ ada, April 8, 1849. Just before his graduation from Newton Theological In­ stitution in 1884 he was appointed a missionary. In July of the same year he was married to Miss Grace Van Valkenburg, and in November they arrived in Japan and were designated to Sendai. Here they labored until they were transferred to the Mito and Taira field in 1908. Mr. Jones was preeminently an evangelist and made so many long, arduous itineraries that he is still spoken of as the “ St. Paul of Northern Japan.” When he retired from active service in 1919, at the age of 72, the Japanese Baptist Convention in an ap­ preciation of his life and work among them, attributed to him the success of Baptist mission work in Northern Japan, and expressed their deep affection for him and their sense of loss at his departure. Since his retirement he had aided in work among the Japanese in Southern California. Many of those Japanese friends gathered at his funeral to do honor to his memory. Mrs. Frank H. Levering Mrs. Ida Faye Levering, M. D., wife of Rev. Frank H. Levering, died on January 6, 1933, at Kotagiri, India. For more than 30 years they served as GENERAL REVIEW OF THE YEAR 49 missionaries in that field and, upon retirement, chose to live among the people and in the land they loved so well. Mrs. Levering was born in Matawan, N. ]., August 20, 1856. She was graduated from the Women’s Medical Col­ lege, Philadelphia, and had had special training at Bellevue Hospital and the Flatbush Asylum, New York. On August 20,1891, she sailed for South India, under appointment by the Woman’s Foreign Mission Society of the East. With the assistance of Miss Beatrice Slade, R. N., now Mrs. G. H. Brock, she started medical work at Nellore. Later a small dispensary was opened and in 1897 a fine hospital building was formally opened. The Nellore Women’s Hospital has proved to be one of the most valuable assets of the Telugu Mis­ sion. In July 1894, Rev. F. H. Levering and Dr. Ida Faye were married, continuing work in Nellore until 1900 when they were transferred to Secun­ derabad, remaining there until their retirement in April 1921.

Eric Lund Rev. Eric Lund, D. D., pioneer missionary to the Philippine Islands, died January 18, 1933, at his home in San Diego, Cal. He was born in Mora, Sweden, October 21, 1852, and was graduated from Bethel Seminary, Stock­ holm, in 1875, and from Harley College, London in 1877. Appointed to mis­ sion work in Barcelona, Spain, in July 1882, he had had years of experience in work among Roman Catholics and among Spanish-speaking peoples, when the time came to open work in the Philippine Islands. In Barcelona Mr. Lund translated some tracts into the Visayan language with the help of a young Filipino convert, who hoped that he might eventually carry the gospel to his own people. Thus providentially prepared Mr. Lund gladly accepted designa­ tion to the Philippine Islands in 1900 and started the Baptist work at Iloilo. Difficulties were many, but he preached as opportunity afforded, conducted services in his own home, and in every way sought to make Christ known to all he met. Some of the early converts came to be the leading Christians of the Islands. In spite of opposition and persecution the work continued to grow, new churches were formed and educational and medical work soon fol­ lowed. Throughout his missionary service and since his retirement in 1912, Dr. Lund continued the literary work which he had begun in Spain. Among his many translations probably the most important were that of the complete Bible into Panayan, of the New Testament into Cebuan, and of the four Gos­ pels and Acts into Samarenyo, these being the three dialects of the Visayan people. His original productions, books, pamphlets, and tracts, reached the amazing total of 171 in six different languages. Through these products of his pen, he will long continue to speak to thousands in Spanish-speaking lands.

Samuel E. Miner Samuel E. Miner died in Monterey Park, Cal., August 10, 1932. He was a graduate of Hillsdale College, and with his wife, Marietta Everett Miner, was appointed to foreign service in August 1911 with designation to the Mis­ sion Press, Rangoon, Burma. For fifteen years he gave whole-hearted and loyal service to that work. He was active in the Young Men’s Christian As­ sociation in Rangoon and was identified with the Burma Branch of the Chris­ 50 AMERICAN BAPTIST FOREIGN MISSION SOCIETY tian Literature Society. Air. apd Mrs. Miner returned to America and re­ tired in 1926.

Charles A. Nichols By the death of Rev. Charles A. Nichols, D. D., at Danbury, Conn., December 18, 1932, the Society lost one of its most distinguished veterans. His S3 years of service in Burma represents one of the longest terms of service in the Society’s history. He was born in Greenfield, Conn., August 16,1853, and was graduated from Madison University and Hamilton Theologi­ cal Seminary. In 1879, following his marriage to Miss Jennie Root, cousin of Elihu Root, they sailed for Burma, designated to work among the Karens of Bassein. For over 40 years she served with him, his devoted and wise counsellor. Under his wise supervision and his constant advocacy of self- support, the Karens have developed into a strong, ambitious people, efficient in their church work and influential in business and professional circles. In 1916 the King-Emperor of British India awarded him the Kaisar-i-Hind gold medal in recognition of his conspicuous service. He was married in 1923 to Miss Carrie Selleck of Danbury, Conn. They returned to America and retired in May 1931.

Robert A. Thomson Mrs. Robert A. Thomson Two pioneer missionaries of the Society, Rev. and Airs. Robert A. Thomson of Japan, died at Long Beach, Cal., in November 1932. Mrs. Thomson died on November 14 and Mr. Thomson on November 28. Mrs. Thomson (Gazelle Rulofson) was born in Troy, N. Y., on September 12, 1850. She was graduated from the Normal School, New Britain, Conn. In 1884 she went to Japan as a missionary of the Women’s Foreign Mission Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church. In 1889 Miss Rulofson and Rev. Robert A. Thomson were married. Dr. Thomson was born in Edinburgh, Scotland, February 22, 1860. He was a graduate of the Free Church Hall, Edinburgh, of Hulme Cliffe College, Derbyshire, and Harvey College, London. In February 1885 he went to Japan as agent of the National Bible Society of Scotland. Desiring more direct mission work he resigned, and in March 1888 was appointed a mis­ sionary of the American Baptist Foreign Mission Society and designated to Kobe. He began missionary work in Osaka in 1890 and five years later participated in the organization of the first church in Kyoto. He was instru­ mental in founding the Inland Sea evangelistic work and in securing funds from Scotland with which to equip the Gospel Ship, the Fukuin-Maru. In the missionary conference in 1900 he acted as secretary and was largely responsible for the work of organization. Mrs. Thomson was among the first to realize the importance of kindergarten work for Japan’s little ones. The Kenrin Kindergarten was opened by her in 1895, and on the 35th anni­ versary of the school in 1929, more than 1,500 graduates returned to pay homage to its founder and to her influence in their lives. For two score years Dr. and Mrs. Thomson had a far-reaching ministry in Japan. GENERAL REVIEW OF THE YEAR 51

The Board also records with sorrow the departure of three friends of the Society who were at one time directly connected with the organization.

Carey W . Chamberlin The death of Rev. Carey W . Chamberlin, D. D., on August 23, 1932, took from the ranks one who had given good proof of his labors. He was a native of Ohio and began his active work as a teacher, later going into business. Hearing the call to the ministry he became assistant pastor at Denver, Colo., and later served in the same capacity at the First Baptist Church in Boston, Mass. He was pastor of Dorchester Temple, Boston, of Ashland Avenue Baptist Church, Toledo, Ohio, and for 25 years of the First Baptist Church, Beverly, Mass. From 1915 to 1927 he was a member of the Board of Managers of the Society and later served as second vice-president and first vice-president. In this work as in every other position which he held he rendered memorable service. In 1922 he was a member of the special deputa­ tion sent by the Board to the Far East.

William W . Keen The death of William W . Keen, M. D., on June 7, 1932, removed from the field of medical science one of its most widely known and successful sur­ geons. Dr. Keen was born in Philadelphia, Pa., January 19, 1837. For more than 70 years he practised medicine and taught and lectured in some of the best schools of the country. This period witnessed the growth and de­ velopment of anesthesia, bacteriology, antisepsis and X-ray. In a critical period of our nation’s history in July 1893, on a private yacht in Long Island Sound, he performed an operation for cancer of the jaw on President Grover Cleveland. As a writer he made valuable contributions on such subjects as evolution and religion. His monograph on The Service of Missions to Science and Society is a classic. He served his country through three wars. In spite of his otherwise busy career, he found time for service to God and the church. He was president of the American Baptist Foreign Mission Society for one year and a member of its Board of Managers.

William G. Russell Rev. William G. Russell, D. D., died at his home in Philadelphia, on June 29, 1932. Dr. Russell had a notable record of Christian service. A graduate of Crozer Theological Seminary, he was pastor in Eatontown, Long Branch and Camden, N. J., and at Norristown and Scottdale, Pa. He was district secretary of the Home Mission Society from 1914 to 1917, and joint secre­ tary of the southeastern district from 1917 to 1923, when he became State Director of Promotion in Pennsylvania, continuing in that position until his death. A successful pastor for 30 years, with a fervent missionary spirit, and later an efficient administrator, Dr. Russell was loved by all with whom he worked. 52 AMERICAN BAPTIST FOREIGN MISSION SOCIETY

Homes for Missionaries’ Children Recent annual reports have called attention to the gradual de­ cline in the number of children in the Homes for Missionaries’ Children. The principal reason for this decline has been the de­ velopment of American schools of high standard on many of the mission fields. During the past year 21 children have used the homes as compared with 42 in the school year 1924—25. Eleven children representing nine families have been under the efficient care of Dr. and Mrs. F. P. Haggard in the home at Newton Centre, Mass., while ten children representing eight families have lived in the Fannie Doane Home at Granville, Ohio, under the motherly supervision of Miss Maud Brook. Under the pressure of reduced income, the Board faced the fact that the children now in the two homes could be properly cared for in one home, thereby making possible a substantial saving. In June a special committee was appointed to study the probable future need for the homes and the relative merits of the two present locations. In response to inquiries approximately 80 per cent of the missionaries who had children 17 years of age or younger re­ ported their plans for the pre-college years of their children. The replies indicated that 21 children was the greatest number expected to use the homes in any one year, and that in most years the num­ ber would be less than twenty. Of the missionaries who plan to use the homes for their children, slightly more than half expressed preference for the home at Granville. T. R. St. John, chairman of the committee, made a thorough inspection of both homes and their summer camps and the communities in which they were lo­ cated. The committee made a full report to the Board in January and on its recommendation the Board decided to combine the two homes at Granville, closing the Newton Centre home at the close of the present school year. Among the reasons for Granville as the site for the combined home were its more central location to the homes of origin of the missionaries, the more modern equipment better adapted to such a group of children, the maintaining of family ties between the children in the home and older brothers and sisters in Denison University, and the exceptional opportunities GENERAL REVIEW OF THE YEAR S3

for recreation, study and employment at Lakeside, Ohio, where the summer camp is located. With a view to continuity during the period of transition Miss Maud Brook was requested to con­ tinue as superintendent. The Woman’s Society and the women of the New England Dis­ trict have rendered an outstanding service through the home at Newton Centre since it had its inception in the minds of a group of devoted New England women more than a half century ago. The title to the property of the home at Newton Centre and of the summer camp at Waterloo, N. H., is held by the Woman’s Society which also has substantial permanent funds, the income of which was designated towards the maintenance of the home. In recogni­ tion of this large contribution of the Woman’s Society the Board adopted the following resolution:

The Board of Managers of the American Baptist Foreign Mission Society reluctantly voted at its meeting on January 16-17, 1933, to close the Home for the Children of Missionaries at Newton Centre, Mass., at the close of the present school year. In reaching this decision, the Board has been reminded again of the devoted and helpful cooperation of the Woman’s American Baptist Foreign Mission Society and of the women of the New England District. The Home had its beginning in the sympathetic hearts of a small group of New England women who were leaders of the Woman’s Baptist Foreign Missionary Society. In April 1880, the Woman’s Society arranged for the rental for one year of the home of Dr. S. F. Smith of Newton Centre, who was then travelling in the Orient, and formulated plans for a more permanent home. Funds were raised and the new house was completed and dedicated in 1882. For many years the Woman’s Society assumed full responsibility for the Home through budget receipts and income from en­ dowment funds. In more recent years it has been recognized that since the parents of the children in the Home were missionaries of the American Baptist Foreign Mission Society, the Board of Managers of that Society should share in its expense and management. The Baptist women of New England have always made the Home and its children one of their special interests. Each fall it has been the place for one of the regular meetings of the New England District. This has been made the occasion for donations of food supplies and special equipment which have greatly increased the comforts of the Home. The Board would record its sincere regret at the necessity for closing the Home and its deep appreciation for the cordial co­ operative relationship and the devoted service to the Home for the Children of Missionaries which the Woman’s Society and the New England District have rendered through half a century. 54 AMERICAN BAPTIST FOREIGN MISSION SOCIETY

New Missionaries Since the last Annual Report one new missionary has been ap­ pointed. This was Miss Florence L. Curtis, who sailed in the fall for East China. Rev. Roger Cummings, who was a short-term missionary in Burma from 1926 to 1929, and Mrs. Cummings, who as Miss Beryl Snell was a missionary of the Woman’s Society in Burma from 1923 to 1929, were reappointed and sailed for Burma. During the calendar year 1932 the Society sent out only nine new missionaries. With the exception of 1915 when a similar number sailed, this is the smallest group of new missionaries in any year since 1885. Unless a suitable candidate is found for the principal- ship of Judson College, the one emergency need for which funds are available in the new year’s budget, it would seem probable that 1933 would pass without the sailing of any new missionaries, a phenomenon which has not occurred since 1857. These facts are in sharp contrast to the response to the appeal of Dr. John E. Clough to the May meeting in Cincinnati, Ohio, in 1891, for 25 new missionary families and $50,000 for the Telugu work in South India. Both objectives were more than realized. That historic missionary group contained many whose names have since become notable in Scuth India. Since that day the work has grown apace. The present opportunity is unequaled. The church members totalling 100,000, mostly from the outcastes, still need nurture. Thousands from the Sudra caste are increasingly recep­ tive to the transforming power of the Gospel. Of the group who sailed in response to Dr. Clough’s challenge only six remain in active service. They will retire within a few years. To meet the providential opportunities they should be replaced by new mis­ sionaries. South India needs are urgent; yet they are only typical of those in all fields. Requests crowd in, of which only a few can be enu­ merated as illustrations. Burma asks for an educator to head the English and Anglo-vernacular high schools in Rangoon, and for a pastor for the Judson College church for the year of furlough of Rev. P. J. Braisted. From Bengal-Orissa comes the request for a trainer of leaders for the Santals in Bhimpore. South China seeks an evangelist for the Hakkas and a physician for the Haklos. For five years West China has asked for a dentist for the Medical School GENERAL REVIEW OF THE YEAR 55 of West China Union University. Other oft-repeated requests are for doctors for Iloilo, Philippine Islands, Shaohing, East China, and the Naga Hills of Assam. Assam also urges the need for evangel­ istic missionaries for the care of the Garo churches and for winning the masses in the Brahmaputra plains. To care for the responsi­ bilities which belong to American Baptists this partial list would be greatly extended. Yet under present budget limitations all these needs must go unmet.

The Candidate Department In the interest of economy, as noted in the Annual Report for 1932, the Board decided to abandon for the time being the policy of a full-time Candidate Secretary and asked Foreign Secretary J. C. Robbins to assume responsibility for the work of the Candi­ date Department. During his visit to the Missions in India the candidate correspondence has been conducted by Associate Secre­ tary R. L. Howard. With the reduced secretarial staff it was im­ possible for any of the officers to undertake the visitation of col­ leges and theological seminaries for the cultivation of missionary interest among students. The Board was fortunate, however, to arrange with the Student Volunteer Movement for its two secre­ taries, R. P. Currier and J. R. Wilson, both former missionaries of the Society, to make contacts with the students for the Candi­ date Department in connection with their own visits to schools. This cooperation by the Student Volunteer Movement has been greatly appreciated, but at best such an arrangement could be only a temporary expedient. With the return of Dr. Robbins it is hoped that he may be able to devote a substantial part o f his time to direct contacts with students.

Training Conference for New Missionaries Nine boards representing six denominations cooperated in the fifth interdenominational training conference for newly appointed missionaries which met on the campus of the Kennedy School of Missions, Hartford, Conn., June 8-14, 1932. A total of 83 new missionaries were in attendance representing the Society, the Woman’s Society, the Boards of Foreign Missions of the Presby­ terian Church in the U. S. A., of the Reformed Church in America, of the Methodist Episcopal Church, the Woman’s Board of For­ 56 AMERICAN BAPTIST FOREIGN MISSION SOCIETY eign Missions of the Reformed Church in America, the Woman’s Foreign Missionary Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church, the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions and the Department of Missions of the Protestant Episcopal Church. The program differed from those of previous conferences in pro­ viding for fewer formal addresses and utilizing the time thus freed in sectional groups on the various mission fields, the types of work and the religions of the people to whom the new missionaries were going. These sectional groups were under the leadership of ex­ perienced missionaries. Two sessions were given to round table discussion, one on methods of evangelism, the other on rural mis­ sions. At the close of the Hartford Conference, the new mission­ aries of the two Baptist Boards spent three days at the headquarters in New York in conference with the officers of the societies.

The Medical Service Department During the past year the work of the Medical Service Depart­ ment has been under the care of Home Secretary P. H. J. Lerrigo, M. D. In connection with the medical offices of the Presbyterian, Methodist and Congregational boards studies have been made with a view to possible unification of the work of examining and treat­ ing furloughed missionaries and candidates for foreign mission service. Progress has been made, and it is hoped that within the near future arrangements may be perfected for a unified medical office whereby greater efficiency as well as economy may be achieved.

The Conditions of Success In closing this general review of the work of the year it is im­ possible to overlook the fact that the foreign mission enterprise faces present difficulties of great proportions and a future of much uncertainty. These very facts, however, force us to the recogni­ tion of three important considerations: First, the necessity for an increased willingness to sacrifice and serve in order that God’s redemptive purpose through the Gospel of Christ our Saviour may be fulfilled; Second, the necessity for a careful study of present conditions at home and abroad with a view to the formation of simpler but more effective plans for the work, involving the carrying out of such courageous forward steps as may clearly be necessary for success; GENERAL REVIEW OF THE YEAR 57

Third, a renewed conviction that the work has been committed to us by the Heavenly Father to the end that the knowledge of His love as revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord might be made known throughout all the world, and that as He has called His children to difficult things, so He will give the needed strength, wisdom and resources to carry them out effectively in His name.

SUMMARY OF REPORTS FROM THE MISSIONS

THE BURMA MISSION

Reported by Rev. H. E. Dudley HE outstanding event of the year was the visit of Foreign Secretary J. C. Robbins and Dr. F. W. Padelford, Executive Secretary of the ^Baptist Board of Education. The financial difficulties of Baptists in America has led to the necessity for serious retrenchments on the field. The great question before the Burma Mission was: Where and how is retrenchment to be begun ? The proportional cut in each missionary’s appropriations was not enough. The problem was larger. Should we make our work stronger in some places and withdraw in others? Could not some of the mission enter- prizes be given over to the indigenous brethren? One of the most cheering things to us all is that wherever it was proposed to curtail our work, especially the school work, the people came forward and said, “W e wish to try. We want to undertake the responsibility if you will give us a year or two of grace.” After visiting the stations and high schools, Dr. Robbins and Dr. Padelford met with a group of missionaries and Burmese and Karen educators and as a result of the conference they drew up a series of 36 proposals for the considera­ tion of the Burma Baptist Conference. This year the Conference was held at the beautiful summer capital of Burma, Maymyo. One hundred missionaries attended the Conference. Dr. Frank Eden, of Rangoon Immanuel Church, was the chairman. Each morning there was a well-attended sunrise meeting and the morning session of each day closed with a Bible Study by Dr. John McGuire, our veteran missionary. The report of our Policy and Program Committee, which emphasized the need of new methods of approach, rural re­ construction, community center work, home-making schools for girls, etc., was adopted. Then the Robbins-Padelford Report was taken up item by item. Perhaps the most important items were the adopting of the recommendation for the organizing of a Board of Education composed of missionaries and nationals, and the appointment of Rev. G. D. Josif as Educational Director to coordinate the work of the Board. This will mean much for the efficiency of all our school work in Burma. It was especially voted that in our plans we determine to make a few central schools so strong that there will be no question as to their future, at the same time retaining as many of the others as resources would permit. It was the specific curtailment or the cutting off of high school departments .and uniting of high schools (in the same station) that aroused the local churches to action. Delegations of nationals came from Moulmein, Pyin- mana, Rangoon, Bassein and elsewhere to make their appeals. In every case the indigenous brethren were given a year or two to prepare for full re­ sponsibility. Some schools, like the Girls’ High School at Prome and the Boys Anglo-Vernacular school at Bhamo are serving Christians scattered in vast areas. Surely the atmosphere of these Christian schools is needed. 61 62 AMERICAN BAPTIST FOREIGN MISSION SOCIETY

THE BURMA CHRISTIAN COUNCIL Another sign of the times is unity of effort by the Protestant denominations in the Burma Christian Council which deals with general problems of com­ mon interest, such as drinking, gambling, use of opium, school problems, etc. The Council is also sponsoring the Kingdom of God Movement in Burma. At Christmas-time, 1932, over ten thousand people saw pictured the story of Christ in the pageant presented under the auspices of this Movement, in Rangoon. The Kingdom of God Movement aims to stimulate and deepen spiritually work already begun and to arouse the churches to a more energetic witness for Christ. Another phase of the work of the Council is the Bulletin, widely appreciated for its news. Two sub-committees are at work, one on a Survey, to find out organizations for welfare and service and the other to make definite statements on the moral implications of the Christian life.

KAREN MISSION REPORTS Karen Christians now total some 75,000, the largest Christian racial group in Burma. It is significant to note that Christianity is no longer entirely de­ pendent for its life and reality on inspiration from outside sources. It has taken root and draws a great part of its sustenance from the Karen com­ munity itself. Many departments of the work are carried on by the Karens who express an eagerness to assume responsibility. More missionaries are needed, however, to lead the Karens into a further development and aid them in spreading the gospel message to others.

Rangoon There are 200 Karen churches in this area, scattered throughout the Delta. This field supports preachers at Papun, Meinlongyi and Maised, near Siam, and one in Siam, besides the Pegu-Karen High School in Rangoon.

Henzada Rev. and Mrs. A. C. Phelps are to be congratulated on the splendid new school building, completed in time for the Convention. There are 150 village schools, 83 churches, sixty of which have Sunday schools, and 30 Christian Endeavor Societies. The Home Mission Society supports workers among the Chins, Lahus and others. The Women’s Society supports several young women in district work.

Bassein In the Bassein Sgaw Karen work, Thra San Ba, a graduate of Judson College and Newton Theological Institution, has completed his first year of service as the head of a mission that has 160 churches. The Nichols’ Sgaw Karen High School, with its fine pipe organ, is the pride of the Mission. The movement, so long looked for among the Pwos, has at last begun. On one day, at Inye Gyun village, 353 were baptized. Twelve pastors assisted in the baptizing. Rev. C. L. Conrad, ably assisted by Thra Shwe Ba, General Secretary and Treasurer of the Association, with an Advisory Board of ten, THE BURMA MISSION 63 have six workers whom they send out among the churches. The Annual Bible Class also deserves special note.

Maubin There are signs of awakening among the Pwo Karens of the Northern part of the field. The Pvvos are greatly encouraged by the appointment of Rev. and Mrs. E. T. Fletcher to the work at Maubin.

Moulmein The 43 churches in this Association, through their Home Mission Society, support 26 workers in the field. The Women’s Society supports six additional workers and the Christian Endeavor Society four more. The district is mountainous, the people poor and the travel is hard. This district is near Siam where there are thousands of Karens and Mons to be reached. The Gospel Team which has just been over into Siam has been eagerly welcomed there. There is a good high school at Moulmein supported by the Karens.

Tavoy A large self-supporting Karen school is located here and boasts a fine new fire-proof building. The principle work is in the villages scattered throughout the southern tip of Burma and into Siam.

Nyaunglebin and Shwegyin Two vocational schools, one at Nyaunglebin under Miss Hattie V. Petheram, the other at Shwegyin under Rev. C. L. Klein, fill a real need. The associa­ tion meetings were excellent this past year, with nearly 3,000 present. A number of the churches are planning new houses of worship, a sign of revival. Cordial and practical relations are developing with the Nyaunglebin Association and some of the work may be coordinated or combined.

Toungoo Rev. G. E. Blackwell is in charge of both the Bwe and the Paku fields, the former having 104 churches and the latter field 98. The school on the Bwe compound is under the direction of Mr. James Tapa, one of our younger Karen leaders. Miss Effie L. Adams has the High school on the Paku compound, assisted by Mr. W. L. Keyser.

Tharrawaddy There are 3,080 members in the 43 churches in this area. Thra San Baw, honored by the British Government, is the outstanding leader of this field. The Home Mission Society of this station sends out from eight to twelve evangelists; the Women’s Society and the Christian Endeavor each send out from four to ten workers. 64 AMERICAN BAPTIST FOREIGN MISSION SOCIETY

WORK AMONG THE K A CHINS

Myitkyina Myitkyina is 800 miles north of Rangoon and Patao (the Triangle) is 220 miles north of Myitkyina. Here is a field 300 miles long and 150 miles wide, with many evangelists for the most part supported by the Kachins. There are also 23 Christian teachers in 66 villages and all are paid by the Government. The missionary has allied himself with the Government to bring not only the light of education, but the light of the Cross of Christ and here, last year, 208 were baptized into church membership.

Bhamo At this station out of 20 evangelists, 17 and two Bible women are supported by the Kachins. About 150 were added by baptism during the year. Last year Rev. G. J. Geis opened up a Bible School for Kachins which has now been moved to Kutkai, by vote of the Kachin Triennial Convention.

Namkham This station is a little southeast of Bhamo on the Chinese border. Scattered in 275 villages are 2,000 Christians. The work has developed rapidly here and 240 were baptized this year. The Namkham Christian Kachins, under the direction of Rev. G. A. Sword had been preparing for the Kachin Triennial Convention for months. More than 4,500 people attended this great convention. One important decision arrived at was the appointment of Thra Robin as Home Missionary to Sumprabum, 120 miles north of Myitkyina and the key to the Triangle. The Reference Committee had had in mind since 1926 the occupation of this area but under the present financial conditions no advance work had been done.

CHIN WORK

Haka and Tiddim Far on the northwest, away from river and railroads, are the Chin Hills. Here again it is wise for the missionary to work hand in hand with a beneficent Government. Rev. J. H. Cope is the Inspector of Schools and reports that the work is mainly literary and evangelistic. Five languages have been reduced to writing, but a literature is planned in only three.

Thayetmyo More central in this vast field is Thayetmyo, far south on the Irrawaddy just above Prome. There is an Anglo-Vernacular school of 120 pupils. Down into the Delta past Henzada stretches this vast field with 100,000 people, so mingled with the Burman Buddhists that urgent need is manifested that they be speedily evangelized. Hence the need of a missionary free to do the evangelistic work. THE BURMA MISSION 65

Sandoway This is the oldest and largest of the Chin fields, stretching for hundreds of miles along the coast to Akyab on the north. Mr. and Mrs. S. V. Holling- worth have been transferred to this station.

SHAN MISSION REPORTS

Namkham It is on the frontier that special opportunity is found for medical service. The splendid new Harper Memorial Hospital, under the Shan missionary, Dr. G. S. Seagrave, serves all race groups. In this hospital nurses are being trained and the fame and influence of this hospital are spreading throughout a large area.

Taunggyi The steady growth here in town and district is remarkable. There is a dis­ pensary in Taunggyi and several others in the district which have been visited regularly by Dr. A. H. Henderson.

Loilem and Mongnai Dr. and Mrs. Gibbens have just returned to this field, well equipped for evangelistic and medical work.

WORK AMONG THE SHANS, WAS, LAHUS AND LISUS

Kengtung and Loimwe Kengtung has two distinct departments of work. The Shan work, scattered in five towns including Kengtung itself, includes medical work in three dis­ pensaries, one in Kengtung and two in the district. In the Kengtung dispen­ sary there are four assistants two of whom have special charge of the leper work. The work among the Was, Lahus and Lisus under Rev. J. H. Telford, deserves special note. There are 3,500 Christians in 74 churches, 49 of which have paid workers and five are self-supporting. Gospel Tearns go out to distant villages and there are four Boy Scout troops. There is a Lahu Women’s Society which supports a preacher, and a leper in the Institution. Loimwe has six boys in training at the Pyinmana Agricultural school.

Bana and Mong Mong The great movement among the Lahus, Was and Lisus has moved northward from Kengtung into China. Extensive touring has been carried on and 265 baptisms have been reported. Another head-hunting Wa village in the Bana area has responded to the gospel message. New zeal is noted in Christian centers and interest in village education has grown considerably. 66 AMERICAN BAPTIST FOREIGN MISSION SOCIETY

THE INDIAN AND CHINESE WORK Immigrants to Burma are an important factor, especially in the large centers. In Rangoon the Indians out-number the Burmans. The well-known Union Hall School for Indians holds a large place in that growing community. In Moulmein is Mizpah Hall School, supported almost entirely by its Indian con­ stituency. There is an Indian church at Tavoy and also at Mandalay and all along the railway line there are groups of Indians. The Chinese work is not so prominent, but some work is carried on. The only evangelist in Upper Burma, Saya E Hwe, who has been at Myingyan and Meiktila for many years, is now to go to Mandalay. The Tavoy Chinese group needs a preacher.

THE BURMESE WORK After more than a century of missionary work in Burma, statistics show that there are approximately ten thousand Burmese Christians in the entire Province. Fully eighty-five percent of the population of Burma is Buddhist. It is noted, however, that the Burmese people are increasingly responsive to the message of the gospel of Jesus Christ as portrayed in the lives and teachings of missionaries and indigenous Christians.

Tavoy There are 225 Christians in four organized churches in this area. Formerly it was difficult to have schools for Burman girls but now this is changing. The beautiful new building of the Ann Hasseltine Girls’ School is worthy of mention.

Moulmein There are 1,048,000 people in Amherst and Thayton districts, in the Moulmein field. Of these 210,000 are Burmese. Here is located an outstanding Burmese church, the leaders of which are among the foremost in the Mission. Judson High School, one of the finest in the Province, is sending out an increasing number of graduates.

Rangoon-Pyapon Rangoon itself is our largest Burmese field from the standpoint of church members as well as population. Rev. G. D. Josif has a fine evangelistic com­ mittee to help him in the work. Miss Cecelia L. Johnson, at Pyapon, has done a good work in re-establishing the Burmese Girls’ School and in advancing evangelistic work in that area.

Thonze Since the rebellion broke out in 1931 Thonze has been the scene of a well- organized work in its refugee settlement. About 200 have been baptized as a result of this work. Five boys have been sent from Thonze to the Burman Theological Seminary in the past year. Three large schools are under Rev. and Mrs. J. T. Latta’s supervision, the girls’ school at Thonze and the boys’ THE BURMA MISSION 67

schools at Okkan and Ziqon. There are also three vernacular schools which have been given new impetus during the past three years.

Henzada Henzada, one of our oldest stations, has been served for 40 years by Dr. J. C. Cummings who is now retiring. Dr. J. C. Richardson, from the Seminary has taken over the work. There are eleven organized churches in the district and two Middle Anglo-Vernacular Schools.

Bassein Thirty years ago a Burmese Girls’ School was unthought of at Bassein, and now it is better housed than the boys’ school. There are two Middle A. V. schools in the district and several vernacular schools. An interesting comment comes from Rev. B. C. Case, who visited this district in March: “At Myaung- mya I met the Sgaw Karens at one end of the town where they were planning to build a new church. At the other end were the Pwo Karens with their enthusiastic pastor and they, too, were busy on plans for a new church. In the center of the town was the Burmese Girls’ School and the Burman church, backed by the support of both the above Karen churches, a lesson in fellowship.

Prome Rev. E. B. Roach says: “W e are planning no innovations. W e propose to visit all places manifesting an interest this year. The evangelists are giving themselves earnestly to the work.” The staff for the four organized churches and four centers is made up of a superintendent, ten teachers, a nurse and a Bible woman. Pegu-Toungoo The Conference of 1931 voted that the evangelistic work of the Toungoo and Pegu fields be united. This was carried out in effect while Rev. L. B. Rogers was on furlough and now the evangelistic work is carried on in Pegu by the local committee with general oversight by Miss Mary L. Parish. The closing of the Boys’ School (there is a large Government school at Pegu) leaves a building that might be used as a Christian center for the neighborhood. Pegu is a town of 20,000 inhabitants and Toungoo is of equal size. The Toungoo field under Mr. Rogers, has 93 miles of the main railway line and of the 428,670 people in the district, 283,300 are Burmese. Here a school, which in ten years has grown from a Primary school with 100 pupils to a Middle School with 350 enrolled, is an important work.

Meiktila This year Meiktila is trying to work out a new regime. San Po Thin, a Redlands University graduate, has been secured as superintendent of the school and U Nyein, a young Burman, is head-master. An evangelist has been se­ cured who will push the work in village and town. Next year they plan to give the school work entirely to U Nyein, leaving San Po Thin free for 68 AMERICAN BAPTIST FOREIGN MISSION SOCIETY

evangelistic work. These young men have gathered around them a consecrated and enthusiastic staff of helpers.

Myingyan Here we find a station given over to the Burma Baptist Evangelistic Society, a purely indigenous venture. Saya Po Min, B.S., the outstanding represent­ ative of this Home Mission enterprise, is carrying on the work. Last fall they voted to extend their territory to Toungdwingyi on the south and thus cover all the new railway line to Kyaukpadoung. U Lu Din is their representative at Magwe on the river.

Sagaing While the missionary service has been interrupted, the Sagaing church has been served by an able and faithful pastor, Saya Yawla. The splendid work of Miss Frieda Peter in the station and school work deserves special mention. A new church building was dedicated in November and for the first time in its history the church is undertaking the full support of its pastor. Rev. and Mrs. Roger Cummings have been designated to Burmese work at this station.

Mandalay The Kelly High School, with its 370 boys continues to grow in influence and size and the Girls’ High School is one of the finest in the Province. An evangelistic missionary is needed in this outstanding Burmese city, with its more than 180,000 people.

Maymyo At this summer capital of Burma Baptists have a manifold work. In the little brick church five services take place every Sunday: The English Sunday school at 8:30 A.M .; the Burmese preaching service at 11 A.M .; the Indian service at 1 P .M .; the Christian Endeavor meeting at 5 P.M. and the preaching service at 6 P.M. One feature of the work is the union services held at Christmas and Easter when all races meet for a united service. Rev. Ernest Grigg has charge of the village work around Maymyo and Lashio.

WORK AMONG MONS Moulmein is the only center for Mon work. This field has six organized churches. The Moulmein church is very active. Two members are teachers in Judson High School and one is a caretaker in the Leper Asylum. There is a small Sunday school, a Christian Endeavor group and a Women’s Aux­ iliary. Near Panga, 45 miles south, a group of Christians meet in a rude chapel built by themselves, and a new and active church has sprung up in Tavoy district, south of Ye. Saya Chit Pyu, pastor of Mudon has been elected General Evangelist to visit and encourage all the churches. THE BURMA MISSION 69

SPECIAL INSTITUTIONS AND FORMS OF WORK Theological Seminaries The Karen and Burman Theological Seminaries are both on the same com­ pound at Insein. Dr. H. I. Marshall is president of the large and flourishing Karen Seminary. The graduates of this school serve as pastors throughout the Province, among all races. Dr. J. C. Richardson, president of the Burman Seminary, is retiring this year to take up work in the Burmese field at Henzada. Judson College The college enrolment this year was slightly larger than last year. The following races were represented: 104 Burmans, 77 Karens, 39 Indians, 30 Anglo-Indians, 21 Chinese and 12 of other races. Dr. Wallace St. John, now retiring from the presidency of this institution, is to be congratulated on the completion of the buildings planned for the new site on Kokine Lake. Judson College is an institution of which any country might well be proud. The college chapel is not yet completed but promises to be one of the most beauti­ ful buildings of the group.

Pyinmana Agricultural School In the center of a large agricultural community in Upper Burma is the Pyinmana Agricultural School, with its eighty students representing eleven different races. This school is making a vital contribution to the develop­ ment of the religious, moral and economic life of village folk in districts far and near throughout the Province. It was heartily voted by the Conference to continue the needed support of this vocational school that serves all races.

Gospel Teams Work among thousands of dock laborers, open air services with the Y.M.C.A., arranging for retreats, and Gospel Team activities, are a part of the activities of the Kingdom of God Movement. The Burma Gospel Team this year went to Siam for the hot season, 1933. John Thet Gyi, a graduate of the English Department of the Seminary, is leading them. Ma Hannah, General Director of Daily Vacation Bible Schools in Burma, has been requested to remain in Siam to assist in the establishing of Vacation Schools.

Literary Workers Dr. John McGuire of Maymyo explains his work: “ For the past six years Saya U Tha Din and I have been engaged in the work of revising Dr. Judson’s Bible, translated into Burmese 100 years ago. Health has been good and we have kept at the work steadily and three months more will see our task completed and the revised Bible in print. It will be a reference Bible, printed on India paper and in fairly large type. The Old and New Testaments will be bound both separately and together, the whole a work of between 1400 and 1500 pages. The proof reading has been done by Miss 70 AMERICAN BAPTIST FOREIGN MISSION SOCIETY

Ruth Ranney and Miss Harriet Phinney of Kalaw, retired missionaries of the Woman’s Society. They are also doing some needed translation work. Dr. and Mrs. McGuire expect to leave Burma in the summer of 1933, for retirement. Rev. G. E. Blackwell is working on the English-Karen Dictionary, while Rev. A. C. Hanna, now stationed at Mogok, is editing the Quarterly, a new paper in Burmese. He is doing additional translation work.

Mission Press Special attention should be given to the work of the Mission Press. The colporter work, one phase of the field work of the Press, is arousing keen in­ terest and many fruitful contacts have been made. Practically every mis­ sionary in the Province is benefiting from the work the Press is doing. A new edition of Pilgrim’s Progress has recently come from the press and is meeting with ready interest. A statistical summary for the past five years shows that the following, printed in Burmese alone, have been sold and dis­ tributed: Bibles and New Testaments, 500; Gospels, 16,000; Hymn books, 1,600; other books, 10,500; free tracts distributed, 40,000. THE ASSAM MISSION Reported by Mrs. R. B. Longwell and Miss E. Marie Holmes "CORDIN G to the 1931 census: “ Christians in Assam number 249,246. . . . The total number of Baptists (including unbaptized constituents) in Assam is, roughly, about 80,000 or 32 per cent of the entire Christian population. . . .”

EVANGELISTIC AND EDUCATIONAL WORK Dibru-Sadiya Our responsibility has been extended over a long territory from Sadiya to Tezpur and Balipara. It has involved much extra touring and correspond­ ing. From the middle of October we gave over the Lakhimpur-Darrang work to Rev. and Mrs. J. W . Cook. The first week in February we held our Dibru-Sadiya Association at Pukrijan, 25 miles from Dibrugarh. Over four hundred were in attendance at the North Lakhimpur Association held later. From there we toured through the district into Darrang and on to Balipara Frontier Tract. W e hope to plant evangelical Christianity in the border hills to the north of us, and see the day when each village of any size has a Christian church and school ; and in the plains among the tea gardens, we look to the time when there shall be a Christian group and a place of worship on every tea estate in the district. The boys’ boarding school has had 199 school days, with a total attendance of 50 of which 42 were hill boys and 14 from the plains. One Abhor was baptized early in the year and went back to his village to teach. Fine reports have been coming in from his school of over forty boys.—John Selander.

Gauhati Rev. R. B. Longwell reports the work with students: “ Our religious meetings with the students continue and the interest seems to increase. This year a larger number of meetings have been conducted by Indian Christians and have been most helpful. The purpose of this student work is to interpret Jesus Christ to college men. This means it is both educational and evangelistic.”

Goalpara The work in North Goalpara has continued to move forward under the direction of Srijut Umon K. Marak who has had a threefold task: supervisor of the churches, evangelist among the non-Christians, and school master for the only real-Lower Primary School among the Christians there. The church membership has increased in the last three years by some 600 additions. He reports of Emmanuel School, a boarding school for boys, in which 71 72 AMERICAN BAPTIST FOREIGN MISSION SOCIETY girls are received as day pupils: “The hostel boys made more progress than the outsiders. Boys of the hostel read the Bible well and sing the Assamese hymns. This year some of the non-Christians asked for permission to put their boys in the hostel. In 1932 due to the depression and the financial condition, resulting in the want of food, many boys were taken back by the parents who were unable to give them rice. The Association has been unable to pay the teachers’ salaries since last June.”

Golaghat Rev. O. L. Swanson reports : “In April we were again asked to take over the work among the Mikirs, their missionary having gone on furlough. Con­ ferences have been held at different times at Golaghat, Kampur and Lum- ding. The workers from the Golaghat side came to the station every month. Last May the mission house at Tika was burned but the school masters and the one evangelist have continued to carry on the work as usual. The workers from both Tika and Golaghat attended the Bible Conference at Golaghat. “ The work in this district had been in charge of Rev. V. H. Sword. In addition to his own field it was impossible for him to give all the time neces­ sary to visit 50 to 60 churches in places scattered over a territory of hundreds of miles. With his supervision, and faithful work done by pastors and evangelists, however, we found the churches and schools all working to­ gether and in good condition. About 230 people have been baptized and received into the churches during this calendar year. As in former years the outstanding event of the year was the Golaghat Bible Conference. The Conference registered nearly 200 regular attendants.”

Impur Rev. R. R. Wickstrand reports the work among the Ao Nagas and Sang- tams: “There have been 536 accessions to the Ao Naga churches, an increase of 71 over last year. We now have a total Christian constituency of 8,454. Twelve Sunday schools were organized and four reorganized. A weekly class in Sunday school methods has been taught to the evangelists, Impur school teachers and others interested. All the pastors, teachers, some deacons, and many others attend our quarterly Bible class. This year’s work among the Miris was begun with an extended tour of 325 miles most of which was done on foot. The work among the Sangtams has suffered greatly because of violent persecution but we shall be greatly surprised if a mighty ingathering does not start over there very soon. “ Our enrolment at the Training School is 204 boys and 62 girls. Of this number 182 boys and 52 girls live in their respective hostels. W e have seen a marked degree of improvement in scholastic endeavor and attainment. Besides compulsory attendance at all religious services we have organized vesper services. The enrolment has grown for years but the physical plant and equipment have remained stationary. W e are in dire need of more class rooms and new equipment.” THE ASSAM MISSION 73

Jorhat The report of the Jorhat Christian Schools (Normal Training and High School) follows: “ The present school year has had a total enrolment of 191 in which 22 tribal and racial divisions are represented—the highest at­ tendance, in general, since 1918. Nearly all the 88 hostel boys who have been enrolled are Christians before they enter. Of the 28 in the Primary School 16 come from Christian homes, 11 from Hindu homes, and 1 from a Moham­ medan home.” The Jorhat Bible School opened in March with an attendance of 26 men but only 20 finished the year’s work. Rev. J. M. Forbes reports: “ I was sorry to lose these men. The class needed them, their people need to have them trained, and the church in Assam needs trained consecrated young evangelists and preachers.” Kamrup The most striking circumstance connected with this portion of the work is the steady development on the South Trunk road up toward the Nowgong District, where the Association has had an evangelist working for some years. One problem connected with this development is the fact that those who come out are in communities separated both from each other and the Gauhati church. If they were all together, they would constitute a fairly strong church. Since they are so scattered it still seems best to keep them as members of the Gauhati Church.

Kangpokpi Rev. William Pettigrew reports as follows: “Our Baptist Mission territory in Manipur covers 5,000 square miles of mountains. In the eastern section of the northeast area 224 baptisms are reported from among the Tangkhul Nagas. A new work among the Haokeep Kukis of that section has resulted in a small Christian community. The Somra Tract in Upper Burma has been invaded by our Tangkhul and Kuki evangelists and teachers. On the other side of Manipur, near the borders of Cachar District, lies the great Kabui Naga tribe. A report of 118 baptisms gives us hope of a larger in­ gathering in the near future. The need of trained workers, teachers and evangelists is as much pronounced in this section as it is in the northern section among the Thadou Kukis. In spite of the depression in Manipur, workers have increased, converts have increased in four sections. Churches, church membership and baptisms have increased but the Association contributions, pledges, and tithes had decreased. “During 1932 we have progressed in establishing the day schools in our field, in accordance with the Assam Educational Manual of 1931. All Lower Primary, Upper Primary, and Middle English Schools are using the same curriculum as the state schools in the hills and valley. Text books in Manipuri, translation for the most part of the Assamese and Bengali text books are now practically complete and published. The Arithmetic text book is still in the press. Arithmetic and Bible subjects have been made 74 AMERICAN BAPTIST FOREIGN MISSION SOCIETY compulsory subjects in our day schools of all grades. A new Education Standing Committee of the State has been lately appointed, with more defi­ nite powers given to it. I am glad to be counted one of its members.”

Kohima Concerning the Sema Naga work Rev. B. I. Anderson writes : “ In spite of sickness and other hindrances we have been blessed by progress in the work. Fully 2,500 Semas gathered at the Association at Litami. These annual gatherings are the high spots in the humdrum lives of our Naga people. W e have had 453 baptisms reported to date. W e have held two Bible classes. This year we made an interesting trip through new territory. We entered many villages where we had no Christians and delegation upon delegation asked for a teacher. Our total membership is now well over 4,000 and is steadily increasing. W e have a foothold in fifty-five villages in the Sema country and at least ten more villages of Semas in the Ao, Lotha and Angami country. Only sixteen village pastors who have had any training at all and two evangelists are responsible for the work among this multitude.” Of the Lotha Naga work he writes : “The past year has been one of great achievement. The chief evangelist, Ibansao, has been ill part of the time and not able to tour. In spite of this we have welcomed 123 by baptism and we have been able to enter one new village. We have Christians in thirty villages and the total number of Christians is about 1,000. Our Annual Association this year was held at Lungitant near the plains.” Mr. G. W. Suppléé writes of the Kohima field: “W e can report steady progress among all of these tribes. During the past year three of our four associations held meetings. One Bible Conference was held in Kohima for our workers, and another was held among the Rengma Nagas. Because of the school work I have been unable to give as much time to the evangelistic work as desired. Our number of Christians has been increased by about 5,000 included in the Sema and Lotha Naga tribes. “ The Station Middle English School is the only school in the Kohima Sub­ division of the Naga Hills which uses a Naga vernacular, a fact which brings many pupils from the various village schools at the opening of each new year. The Naga Hills-Manipur State High School has land and money for the school though no funds available for other buildings. The number of Christians has increased rapidly, at present being close to 20,000. This makes a pressing need for a trained Christian leadership.” Concerning the educational work among the Lothas Rev. B. I. Anderson writes : “Our Primary School at Wokha has made good progress and the attendance is over 50. The new hostel built by the Lothas has been finished and will house an additional 25 boys. The educational work in the villages has also been having a good year. W e now have six village schools and an enrolment of over 140. “ The educational work among the Sema Nagas is very easily and quickly reported. We have only sixteen village schools with an enrolment of about 300. These schools are morning schools, and have a short session before the THE ASSAM MISSION 75 children go to the cultivation. In Kohima as well as in Impur we have several boys preparing themselves for better service and we also have one boy in Jorhat Bible School. Aside from these we have no trained leaders and as yet we have only one worker who has passed sixth class with credit.”

Mongoldai Rev. A. J. Tuttle reports: “ We believe that conditions have improved on this field. In the early part of the year some preaching was done by bands of men and women, working separately, among the non-Christians. At the association it was determined that the time usually given to a special evangel­ istic effort among non-Christians be devoted to the reviving and strengthen­ ing of churches.”

Nowgong “The past year has been spent for the most part in getting acquainted with my field,” reports Rev. U. S. G. Sension. “Great areas are still untouched and the Christian community is small and widely scattered. Nowgong town has taken a great portion of my time. The completion of the new church building was my chief concern during the first half of the year. The dedica­ tion service on May first was a memorable one. “The educational work of the district has been somewhat disappointing. The station school has managed to keep its doors open and a semblance of educational work has been carried on. Nearly a score of Mikir boys at­ tended the school last year but as none of these boys had support we were com­ pelled to make it a rule that no boy from other districts could attend the school unless provided for. This cut off the Mikir students but it enabled us to take in more of our own district boys who were otherwise left out.”

Sibsagar Rev. V. H. Sword reports : “ We completed a tour among the many churches in the Naojan and Barpathar district the latter part of February and visited 17 churches. In Sibsagar District we have been able to visit every church at least once and some of them several times. Our motor car has enabled us to cover a distance of about 7,000 miles.

All-Assam Convention “The All-Assam Convention was held from January 20th to the 24th. To care for such a gathering in a place like Sibsagar is a tremendous task. Despite the weather, it was a very important convention as important matters were decided. Every Association was represented at this Convention save one. W e went directly from the All-Assam Convention to Golaghat where we entertained the Jorhat-Golaghat Association. The rainy weather cleared up so that the great tabernacle was filled for nearly every meeting and the people remained till the very last meeting. Sunday night about 1,300 were in attendance. In a united effort through the Sibsagar Association the 76 AMERICAN BAPTIST FOREIGN MISSION SOCIETY

churches are paying for two evangelists and helping to pay for six village teachers besides contributing toward the support of a teacher in the station school.”

Tura Rev. F. W . Harding writes of his work among the Garos: “There were only 688 baptisms on this field last year. Figured in rupees the giving has been the lowest in the past ten years. A large part of the contributions of Garos, however, is given in rice, and rice has sold from one-quarter to one-half the price of former years. The contributions in rice this year are as large as in any year and they probably represent more sacrifice and more hard work than ever. W e have passed the 15,000 church membership mark in this Garo field. Besides the care of the 325 churches and branch churches, we have a definite ministry to the far-scattered groups of Garos in railroad work, in the civil police and in the military police.

Roman Catholic Aggression “ This year Roman Catholics launched a concerted attack at five points. They have established bases at Dhubri, Damra, near Baghmara, and near Dalu. Roman priests are visiting Tura among our people here. A Roman Catholic literature in Garo is being created. Some has already been pub­ lished and is being circulated among our people. They are now saying that they will locate a High School at Dalu, a College and an Industrial School in Tura. Such promises are especially attractive because of our inability to help in starting a high school. As a Mission we feel that the best defense is to encourage the deepening of the spiritual life through prayer and personal Bible study, to teach the historical principles of Baptists, to get the Garos launched into a strong evangelistic movement, to encourage frank and free discussion and to urge testing them by common sense and the Bible.”

First Garo Conference The first conference of delegates of the Garo churches and missionaries of this field, held in Tura, October 16-20, 1932, was the outstanding event of the year. W e asked each of the 22 groups of churches to send two or more delegates. At the close of the Conference it was unanimously voted to hold a similar conference in two years in Tura. Nearly 30 per cent of the Christians of the whole Assam Mission are in this one field. There are more churches and branch churches in this one field, lacking three, than the total number of churches under any other five stations in the Assam Mission. At the present stage most of these churches and Sunday schools and village schools are big responsibilities. All of our churches maintain their own pastors without help from Mission, 84 of the village schools and the six middle English Schools in the hills receive nothing from Mission; the churches support from four to five times as many evangelists in the field as does Mission, yet there rests upon the shoulders of Mission very THE ASSAM MISSION 77

heavy responsibilities. The present leadership of the Garo churches is not trained for the great tasks it is facing. With our present inadequate staff this work of training cannot be done. The problem of adequate visitation of these 325 churches, and these 132 Mission and Garo village schools is also insoluble with our present depleted staff. Most missionaries would feel that at least two visits a year should be made to their village schools and churches. Here in the Garo Hills one visit a year and one day to a church or a school would mean over a year of constant travel every day, except Sundays, and that would not leave a day for the 1,838 other villages in these hills for the most part non-Christian. Rev. A. F. Merrill writes of the boys’ schools: “In the 54 Lower Primary Schools in the charge of the General Society there were 1,675 pupils with an average daily attendance of 1,478. At the close of the year there were 1,095 professing Christian pupils, 573 non-Christian Garo pupils and 7 non-Garo pupils in the schools. During the school year 231 pupils from the Lower Primary Schools were baptized. At the beginning of the school year the situation in regards to Mission finances made it imperative that contributions from the villages be increased or some of the schools closed. The response from the villages has been most gratifying. Many are writing in now that they will not be able to give for there is no market for their products. This year due to the financial situation the Government Training School at Tura was closed, and so we held a two weeks’ Institute and 14 teachers attended. Our Mission Inspector of Schools, Ramsing N. Sangma, has been doing fine work and we are very grateful for the services of so energetic and consecrated a man; but he agrees with us that it is most urgent that we have another Inspector to help in the work as soon as possible.”

The Garo High School The Garos have been working for a High School at Tura for 20 years. If it had not been for Ramsing N. Sangma, the interest for and development of this project would surely have lagged. The Board has approved of the proposition. The Board has asked the Garos what they would do to help—and the Garos have promised at least Rs. 2000/- (now in hand) towards a building, and Rs. 500/- annually toward the running expenses of the school. The missionaries are in favor of the plan and will assist as much as possible. We hope that the Mission will be able to take over the school.

MEDICAL REPORTS For the Jorhat medical work Dr. H. W. Kirby reports: “ During the year Dr. J. A. Ahlquist has been in charge of the Borbheta medical w ork; the leper colony, the church and the school. On our arrival we found the dispensary, which is used as a hospital, full of patients, a number coming from long distances for eye operations. Two private rooms have been fitted up in the dispensary for patients. During the year there were 76 eye operations and about the same number of other operations. Our lepers are in need of every­ thing. Through a specific gift from one of our Ohio churches we were able 78 AMERICAN BAPTIST FOREIGN MISSION SOCIETY

to give each leper a blanket. A gift of $200 has been received from the Mis­ sion to Lepers. The White Cross gifts have been of great help to us in our medical work and in the school.” Dr. W . R. Werelius writes for Kangpokpi: “We took over the medical work at Kangpokpi in January 1932. In addition to reconstructing a mile and a half of water supply, doing 500 and some odd miles of touring, trying to learn a new language, watching the construction of a new chapel out of the corner of our medical or rather engineering eye, remodelling a so-called hospital, trying to keep some of the jungle from encroaching on our cook shanty too closely, and other things too numerous to mention, we have managed to treat 1,545 new patients and 2,807 old patients. W e do not want to close the gate of the medical compound to anyone whom we can help so long as the cost of medicine can be covered. W e have discharged 21 lepers as cured. Until November the school children were treated, but not at the expense of the medical appropriation.” Dr. E. S. Downs reports for Tura: “Although this has been a year of decrease financially, it has been one of increase in our medical work. Es­ pecially is this noticeable in the number of hospital in-patients, which has increased nearly ten-fold in the past five years. We began the year with a tour in the western section of the hills. There was much sickness but prac­ tically no money for medicine, which necessitated more giving this year in spite of decreased funds. In my second tour, of seven weeks, in the north and central sections, I found even more poverty. In the northern section we saw a great many people who had become blind during the past year. The tragedy is that practically all of the cases of blindness could have been pre­ vented if treated in time. W e had 8,091 out-patients and 382 in-patients.”

LITERATURE WORK Considerable work has been done on the Assamese Bible in preparation for a reprint. At the same time a pocket edition of the New Testament will be printed. In preparation of a new Assamese hymnal Mr. Selander has given much time to collecting new hymns, and in revising and combining hymns. The work of the revision of the Garo Bible has been going on through the year. Work has been completed and the sheets mimeographed for a series of studies in the Gospel of Mark for use in Bible Classes and for personal study. Three small pamphlets have been published and a Garo has written a pamphlet on Christian Endeavor work. Dr. Downs has pre­ pared a text on Physiology in Garo, and enlarged his work on Health Science. With the help of the British and Foreign Bible Society we are about to publish separately each of the Gospels in Garo. A revised edition of 3,000 A o Naga New Testaments has been put through the press this year. We are grateful to the British and Foreign Bible Society for their cooperation and efficient service. Work has been commenced on a new song book and the translation of Pilgrim’s Progress is nearly completed. Another 2,000 copies of the Primer published last year, has recently been received. A new Arithmetic is in the press. Because of insufficient funds. THE ASSAM MISSION 79 we were forced to return to duplicating our monthly newspaper, the Ao Naga Messenger. Each Quarter an outline and brief commentary on the Sunday school lessons is compiled and duplicated. A thorough revision of the exist­ ing manuscript of the Gospel of St. Mark in the Lotha Naga was undertaken this year. Thus, at the annual Association, after 40 years of evangelistic work among them, we were able to give them their first copy of a Gospel. A much-needed Reader has also been prepared and printed and is well received. The Christian Literature Society has kindly undertaken to print the Bible story book prepared this year and the first part was available for our annual Association. THE SOUTH INDIA MISSION Reported by Rev. Frank Kurtz H E year 1932 has been one of ordinary occurrences. The seasons have been good for the most part, some of the more arid regions of our T area having received good rains. Prices of farm products have been a little better for some commodities. Castor oil seeds that have been lying in the farmers’ houses for years have this year gone on the market. There have been no epidemics excepting a recurrence of plague in Secunderabad, which drove tens of thousands of people into the health camps for some months. While many people died from the plague the death rate was very low com­ pared to previous years.

COMMISSIONS Several members of the Appraisal Commission attended our Conference in January 1932 and afterwards visited a few of our stations for a week. The Church History Commission were with us at the Ramapatnam Theological Seminary. Of great interest was the visit of our Secretaries who arrived from Burma, January 2, 1933, and left again for the north on January 14th. The missionaries certainly did get a new realization of the changed condi­ tions in U. S. A. and the Conference afterwards really took steps to readjust the work putting more into the hands of the Indian brethren and reducing foreign expenditure generally. There are certain items that can not be reduced such as taxes and repairs. There are others which ought not to be reduced, such as touring allowances.

STATIONS AND STAFF While we had no new families to welcome in 1932, we were glad to welcome Miss Eva M. Gruen, who is located at Ongole for language study. After several years at home, Rev. A. M. Boggs, D.D., and Mrs. Boggs have re­ turned to us with renewed vigor and spiritual fervor. They are very happily located at Ramapatnam in the Seminary. Miss Lena M. English, M.D., has returned to her work in the Nellore Hospital with many new experiences.

FURLOUGHS The list this year was rather a long one. Rev. W. J. Longley and Mrs. Longley; Rev. W . E. Boggs, D.D., Mrs. Boggs and Miss Bertha; Rev. T. Wathne, Mrs. Wathne and Ellen. Miss E. Grace Bullard and Mrs. Bul­ lard; Rev. B. M. Johnson, Mrs. Johnson and family, Miss Helen Benjamin and Miss Lena M. Benjamin, M.D.

THE CHURCHES The care of the churches is ever with us. Organization of new churches can not be rushed but several new ones are added to the list and a still larger 80 THE SOUTH INDIA MISSION 81 number are put in the self-supporting column. Several pastors have been ordained and a goodly number of church buildings in the villages have been erected. Some of these are ordinary thatched houses a little better than those occupied by the people, but others have been built with brick, mortar and tiles in a substantial fashion. Nearly all these funds have been raised locally. The station church, The Amy Bowen Memorial, at Donakonda is completed and in use. The station now maintains a well equipped plant. Another sta­ tion church, The Bullard Memorial, at Kavali is under roof and is a fine structure. Narsaravupet has completed fifty years as a mission station and the church records show that no less than 468 members are still living who were transferred from the old Ongole lists. There are thirty-seven churches on this field with a membership of 6,928, the fourth in size in the mission. There seems to be a much better feeling among the people and the workers. All the pastors have continued at work throughout the year. Year by year the educational qualifications of the pastors have been raised. Of the nine­ teen pastors nine are receiving nothing from the mission and the others only a very little.

BAPTISMS The churches continue to function more regularly each year. Baptisms are reported from all over the mission. This year Kurnool leads the mission with 650 additions. The new converts come largely from the Christian community, the Madigas and Malas. There were some three hundred bap­ tisms from among the Sudra classes, not quite so many as last year. The outstanding thing this year is the baptism of five Mohammedans and six Brahmins. These figures are small but neither of these classes are numerous in our area and not much direct effort has been made in their behalf. Four of the Brahmins belong to Gurzalla and one to Kanigiri where the caste move­ ment is strong and the other a Brahmin woman from Nellore. The Moham­ medans, who are educated people, were baptized in the Vepery church, Madras.

SPECIAL MEETINGS Summer schools for workers are usually held at various stations. This year a large school was conducted at Gurzalla with several missionaries and Indian leaders as instructors. Evangelist Fox held days of meeting with much profit at Sattenapalle, Bezwada, Madira, and Nandyal. The Burma Gospel Band, at the end of its six months’ trip through India, spent a week in Secunderabad and Hyderabad, accompanied by Mr. Dyer, Dr. Marshall and Airs. Marshall and Miss Reifschneider. Their command of English but above all their vital Christian experiences captured all hearts. A very largely attended and very enthusiastic Christian Endeavor Conven­ tion for the Telugu area was held at Narsaravupet in October. Societies in several places have been reorganized and the work promoted. Mr. and Mrs. V. H. Abbey have visited several of the stations. Evangelistic campaigns during the hot season were held on many fields. Donakonda reports 30 mission workers and 313 volunteer workers who 82 AMERICAN BAPTIST FOREIGN MISSION SOCIETY

took part in their campaign. Aside from regular night evangelistic services, selling of scriptures and personal work with individuals of all castes were carried on with considerable success. The usual Associational meetings were held with much profit. They have proved themselves of great worth and inspiration. The Convention which met this year in the cathedral of the mission at Kurnool had possibly the largest attendance ever reported.

The Ramapatnam Theological Seminary This school of the prophets has had a good year. In spite of hard times, the attendance has increased from 66 to 70 and the entering class numbered no less than 31. Eight men and one woman are taking the advanced course. In October Rev. and Mrs. A. M. Boggs arrived and the faculty is again after some years to have two strong missionaries. It is interesting to note that 41 per cent of the expenses of the new entering class was guaranteed by the churches and the missionaries sending them. The churches are in much closer relation to the Seminary work than ever before. The Conference has voted preferential treatment for the Seminary in spite of whatever cuts may be applied to other work.

TRAINING SCHOOLS These schools all report a successful year. The amount of the monthly stipend to students has been decreased but even this is not wholly evil as students now have a greater interest in their training when they must supply part of its expenses themselves. Bapatla reports receipt of twenty-four extra stipends in spite of Government retrenchment. This speaks well of the school. The new dormitory is found of great use and has ample space for even more students. The Cumbum school has occupied its new building. Fifty students are maintained and special work is done along rural lines. The Preston Institute in Secunderabad had 30 students this year. The site for the school has finally been obtained at Jangaon and building plans are being prepared.

HIGH SCHOOLS Our high schools report a good year. Kurnool has maintained its usual work in spite of a 20 per cent reduction in funds. It is expected that the Central Association will assume the management of the Ongole High School from July 1934. It is interesting to note that Miss Johnson who is a trained educationalist as well as a nurse is to take over charge of the school tem­ porarily. The number of girl students has increased this year from seventeen to 33. This illustrates the trend towards coeducation. Two-thirds of the students are now Christians. Dr. F. W . Padelford said in his address before the Conference that “ Chris­ tian schools should be evangelistic and will be evangelizing agencies if truly Christian in character.” Mr. Rowland adds that “we are more than ever THE SOUTH INDIA MISSION 83

convinced of the place of Christian education in our efforts to win India to Christ, as well as to prepare the youth for leadership in the India Church. We believe in evangelism.” Nellore Boys’ High School is enjoying its fine new building. This has given the school the finest plant of any high school in the district and equal to any in India. Increased attendance and a more vital Christian experience are reported. Girl students steadily increased and now number 50.

MEDICAL WORK A fine spirit of cooperation has been manifested this whole year when Dr. Ernest Hoisted not only maintained his relationship to the growing Clough Memorial Hospital at Ongole but assumed charge of the large Ongole field. The dispensary at Podili has been visited regularly by the doctors from Ongole and the work extended considerably. The work at Hanumakonda has continued with growing success, especially in surgery. Preventative work is emphasized and the training of nurses, both men and women, con­ tinues with good results. The report of the Women’s and Children’s Hospital at Nellore this year recalls the early days when the medical work was begun, in 1891, by the be­ loved physician Mrs. Ida Faye Levering. Today it is one of the best equipped up-to-date hospitals in all India. It is rendering real service to nearby villages by its traveling dispensaries and clinics.

INDIAN LEADERSHIP The Central Association met and planned to assume the management of the Ongole High School next year. They are now raising the needed funds and preparing for the new work. Educated leaders are taking charge of work as never before, but things in the East move slowly and nothing along this line can be hurried. The great body of our people being recently elevated from serfdom, they are not used to exercise authority and when one of their number attempts to do so, instead of cooperation there is often jealousy and opposition. But in spite of all this background unfavorable to cooperative work, progress is being made. This year the chief improvement is in the larger responsibilities assumed by the local Field Associations. Nearly every field now has one and they are functioning better than ever before. They handle funds, appoint and dismiss workers and lay out plans for advance. They help in putting on building campaigns and raise funds from sources hitherto largely untouched. Very little mission money is now going to sub­ sidize churches except in very new localities and then only in small amounts. The Bapatla field has located an evangelist and he has begun his work with good promise of success. Other fields are looking to this field as an example of what they should do in the next few years.

LONG SERVICE Rev. F. W. Stait, D.D., devoted more than thirty-six years to work in our mission chiefly at Udayagiri. He retired from his long service in July and 84 AMERICAN BAPTIST FOREIGN MISSION SOCIETY upon arrival in England was married and is living now at Plymouth. It is given to few missionaries to have forty years of continuous service and still rarer to spend all that time in one station. This has been the lot of Rev. G. H. Brock, D.D., and Mrs. Brock, who have retired this year. They took charge of Kanigiri Taluk, the original home of the great mass movement which still continues. It has now spread to the farthest corners of the Telugu area 300 miles or more away. A semi-famine area, as the Government reports place Kanigiri, with plenty of rocks and dry land, there have been developed on this field strong churches. Hundreds of workers have been trained and sent to all parts of the country. A considerable number have been employed by other missions. More college graduates have come out of this area than from any other field in the mission. A large number of village schools have been maintained and they have placed the educational situation in the front rank. Kanigiri leads the mission in its efforts to educate the children. Caste converts had been coming for some years in increasing numbers.

THE MISSION OF FELLOWSHIP TO BRITAIN The Mission of Fellowship was a new idea in international relations and proved a much greater success than was anticipated. Four Indian Christians were sent to Great Britain to relate their personal experience of Christian truth. Our Baptist representative was Ma Nyein Tha, longtime Principal of the Girls’ High School, in Moulmein, Burma. They had a wonderful reception everywhere they went. They spent four months on the tour and are now making known their impressions of the mother country to India. Contributions for their travel expenses were taken up in all our churches. THE BENGAL-ORISSA MISSION Reported by Rev. L. F. Marsh HE Bengal-Orissa Mission is the smallest of the ten major fields under Northern Baptist auspices, from the point of view of missionary personnel. The size of the missionary family is by no means a criterion of the importance of the work in this field. There are approximately 4,000,000 people in the area of our mission. Bengal-Orissa is rated as the most difficult mission field in India and this fact only emphasizes the desperate need for missionary reenforcements if Northern Baptists are ever to enter the doors that are open to them in this part of India. Our work is largely with and among three peoples, the Bengalis, the Oriyas and the Santals. Some work among Telugu and Hindi speaking people is done at Khargpur and Jamshedpur. In one of our Indian churches four languages are used in every service. The Scripture reading and the hymns are in Bengali, Oriya, Telugu and Hindi. Often prayers are offered in each of these tongues. The pastor speaks in the vernacular Hindi, which is coming to be the common language of India. In gathering information for thiis brief article we have had access to the annual reports of each one of our missionaries. It has been an inspiration to read these reports. At the same time we have realized anew how varied are the activities that claim the time of the missionaries. Schools of all types from small village schools to excellent high schools are under missionary supervision. Industrial education both by instruction and demonstration is attaining an ever-increasing importance. Evangelism still occupies its right­ ful primal place and is being pressed by zenana work, by touring among the hundreds of villages on our field, by bazaar preaching, in the schools and by personal contacts. The healing ministry is not being overlooked. In all of these ways The Way is being proclaimed by missionaries, by Indian teachers and preachers, by faithful Bible women and by laymen and laywomen in the churches. A distinct note of optimism and high aspiration permeates the reports from which the following items of station activities have been taken. Despite heart-breaking retrenchment that is being made necessary by dimin­ ishing budgets, the Kingdom is advancing in the Bengal-Orissa field.

Balasore Distinct progress in all phases of work is noted. Christian Endeavor and Sunday School groups are doing good work. The Boys’ High School has had a good year under the direction of Mr. R. K. Sahu. The Technical School has greatly increased its volume of business by sinking tubular wells, twenty-five new wells having been sunk this past year. These wells are solving many of India’s health problems by supplying pure germ-free water. This work of the school has been recognized by the Government and the officials of the Bengal-Nagpur Railway. 85 86 AMERICAN BAPTIST FOREIGN MISSION SOCIETY

Bhadrak Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Dunn are responsible for the evangelization of a large area in this southernmost portion of our field. Intensive touring was done this past year with a generous use of the stereopticon lantern. Ten camps were established and many villages reached from these camps. Many con­ tacts have been made with educated and official families in Bhadrak and with the boys of the local high school. Much of Mr. Dunn’s time has been re­ quired by the Mission for secretarial work.

Bhimpore Enrolment in the Bhimpore Boys’ High School reached the highest mark since the affiliation with Calcutta University, passing 200. This year also saw the largest number appearing for and the largest percentage passing the Lower Primary examination. The Indian Christian Headmaster is doing splendid work in the high school and taking an active part in the church activities. There have been excellent results from the gardening project with the boys of the fifth standard. Village schools have made good progress educationally, but the number has been reduced to 78. Missionary L. C. Kitchen was away four months while serving most acceptably as principal of the Darjeeling Language School. Industrial work is progressing. Defi­ nite program of evangelism is being promoted from Bhimpore with increasing results. Contai No missionary is in residence at Contai, but work is being carried on in the district. There are definite signs of interest on the part of some Bengalis in Contai. Work among the Koras is moving steadily on.

Hatigarh and Salgodia Work at Hatigarh was supervised by visits from Balasore while Rev. and Mrs. W . C. Osgood were in residence there. There has been definite progress in educational work with the securing of a number of well-trained teachers together with extensive touring of field with an Indian evangelist and the beginning of bazaar preaching. Hatigarh area suffered a real loss in the closing of the leper clinic due to government retrenchment. Considerable time has been spent in making a survey of the medical needs of the Mission. The educational and the evangelistic work in and around Salgodia is pro­ gressing. Two new churches have been organized in the area and a number of young people have gone from this area to fit themselves for useful careers.

Jamshedpur The constituency of the English-speaking church is constantly decreasing due to the Indianization of the great Tata steel works, but the church has had a good year with a slight increase in the average attendance. A new com­ bined pastor’s house and church building was dedicated at Golmuri. A THE BENGAL-ORISSA MISSION 87

program of religious education for children of Indian Christians is being pro­ moted. At the request of a number of educated Indians a fine kindergarten has been conducted for their children with very commendable results. Two or­ ganized Indian churches have had a good year.

Jhargram Rev. A. A. Berg has made Jhargram his headquarters this past year. Jhar­ gram, centrally located for Santal district work, offers many advantages. Residence in Jhargram has afforded many contacts with non-Christian educated people. The past year has been one of progress in Santal district work. One new church has been organized and 51 believers have been baptized. Emphasis has been put on intensive work among the Christians. Definite progress toward a greater measure of self-support has been noted on the part of Indian churches. Five primary schools have been supervised.

Khargpur Varied activities have marked the work in Khargpur, a great railroad center. Some forty young men are living in the Hostel. Indian churches have in­ creased their contributions, despite the depression. A new church building has been erected at Nimpura, near Khargpur, without expenditure of Mission funds. Christian Endeavor and Sunday school work has progressed. Grati­ fying progress in the work of the English-speaking church has been made. Congregations have increased; there have been three baptisms and ten additions by experience; contributions have increased and the extensive social and athletic programs have done much good.

Midnapore There has been much to encourage the workers at Midnapore. Dr. Mary Bacheler’s dispensary has done a great volume of work and many contacts have been made with non-Christians. Much Christian literature has been distributed. Dr. Bacheler has visited Bhimpore weekly in the interest of the sick and suffering. Rev. G. B. Harris has completed his second year study of Bengali and is ready to undertake responsibility for an extensive program of social and evangelistic work in connection with the Y. M. C. A. and Midnapore community. THE EAST CHINA MISSION

Compiled by Miss Doris M . Amidon HE records of the Society would not be complete without some word from the East China Mission. No official annual report has been re­ T ceived but excerpts from individual station reports have been compiled and will serve as a review of conditions on that field.

GENERAL OBSERVATIONS In reviewing the year just closed one must record the appalling background of war, flood, pestilence, famine and civil strife. Conditions originating in the rigid boycott of Japanese goods eventuated in the great disaster in Shanghai in January 1932. Reports of these events appeared in the records of the closing months of last year. The new year found the situation somewhat improved but far from normal. The words of Chiang Kai-shek, China’s foremost Christian statesman, sound the keynote for Christian mis­ sionary work in these troublous times : “As the world has gone forward by leaps and bounds in the progress of material civilization it has gone backward in moral and spiritual culture. Christians must show that there is power in their religion which can be brought to bear upon actual problems and diffi­ culties such as we now face . . The following general observations, included in the report of E. H.. Cressy of the China Christian Educational Association, serve as a brief summary : “ Contacts with government people and engineers, together with reports, in­ dicate that much substantial work has been done along three lines : ( 1 ) sub­ duing communist-bandit groups by government armies; (2) reclamation work and dike building; (3) reestablishing order through disturbed country districts. This has been confirmed by missionaries and educational leaders generally. The result has been that in several bandit-disturbed areas people have lost confidence in the communist régime and have gained confidence in the government. Reports also indicate that students are much more open to religious influences and that antagonism to Christianity has greatly decreased. City churches, it appears, are developing in strength whereas in some stations country churches have definitely lost ground. This may be attributed to the existence of schools and hospitals which furnish a nucleus of leadership in the cities. The continuance and strengthening of such institutions will eventually develop city churches with sufficient out-reach to help the district churches to a firmer footing. A plan for an intensive evangelistic effort and the development of a well-rounded rural program has been proposed and is being put into effect in a selected area by a special committee of the Chekiang Baptist Convention. This work is experimental but may prove to be the beginning of a new type of work in our country fields.” 88 THE EAST CHINA MISSION 89

EXCERPTS FROM STATION REPORTS Hangchow Wayland Academy, with 599 boys in Junior and Senior Middle and nearly 400 primary school boys and girls, shows a record attendance. With the furlough of Rev. E. H. Clayton, Miss Lea Blanche Edgar was left with an extra heavy teaching schedule. She writes: “ On the whole the spirit of the students is much better this year. The government and educational workers have taken a firmer hand. The students seem to have learned valuable lessons from their mistakes of last year and have a new vision of their duty in sharing the work of ‘Saving China.’ The past year has been a record one so far as personal contacts are concerned. The actual number of student calls has gone slightly over 700. This does not include the special meetings of groups such as the one which came one Sunday evening for prayer and conference just previ­ ous to our semi-annual evangelistic campaign. The president of our Student Association has recently come out openly for Jesus Christ and expects to be baptized with our next group.”

Kinhwa We are thankful to report a good spirit of harmony among our Christians during the year. Our preachers are loyal and consecrated to their task. A new preaching place at Ling Hsia Ju, southeast of the city, has just been opened. The Mao Dou church and the Tang Chi church also have preaching places outside. A Gospel Team has been organized and will visit the churches at least twice a year. The work at the hospital, under Dr. L. P. Liang continues. A new dormi­ tory for women nurses and a staff-building are nearing completion. There are 12 young men and 18 girls in the nurses’ training school, and five gradu­ ate nurses. During 1932 there were 1315 in-patients and 11,727 outpatients. The Tsoh Sing Boys’ School had a capacity enrolment of about 265, which crowded the classrooms and dormitories. A strengthening of the Christian life of the school would help in various ways. There are over 100 boys en­ rolled in Bible classes that meet on Sunday morning. In spite of government restriction there is plenty of opportunity for Christian influence, in Christ- like living. Last summer the China Baptist Publication Society published my book of thirty lessons in the Life of Christ, prepared originally for use in our school. I am now revising these lessons and I hope that a new edition will be available very soon.—/. P. Davies.

Ningpo Several reasons have been advanced for the increase in students in our schools this year. Many feel that parents consider the discipline in Chris­ tian schools better and have confidence in the seriousness with which the work is carried on. The interest and openness of mind is evident in the increased numbers and in general interest everywhere. The enrolment of the Ningpo Middle School is about 20% over that of the year before and a very fine spirit has been evident in the life of the school. 90 AMERICAN BAPTIST FOREIGN MISSION SOCIETY

The major attention last fall centered in the coming of Dr. E. Stanley Jones to Ningpo. From all sides one hears expressions of the helpfulness of these meetings and the inspiration and vision with which workers returned to their posts. About seventy-five percent of the students attend chapel on the volun­ tary basis and almost as large a percentage are in classes for Bible study. About the same number attend the student church services on Sunday and several take an active part in the leadership of various types of work in the churches. The union service on Sunday seeks to meet the special need of the student group from various schools in the city.—P. J. McLean.

Ningpo Hospital It was indeed a joy to find the hospital in splendid working order, with all beds filled, upon my return from furlough. The new nurses’ residence, with its modified Chinese architecture, houses our 35 Chinese and three foreign nurses. It is of interest, too, to record that representatives of the League of Nations, on a survey of China’s needs in public health, visited our hospital plant and highly commended the work of the institution. Following the destruction of Chapei by Japanese forces boats arrived in Ningpo, and refugees poured in by the thousands. Six and seven ships arrived daily. The first vessel whose “normal crowded” capacity was 3,000 was said to have had nearly 10,000 on board. Every available bed in the city was occupied and the hospital was crowded to the limit. . . . Conditions are greatly improved now and the place which this hospital has made in the hearts and lives of the community has been strengthened. Our aim continues to be that of honoring Christ by rendering in His Spirit the best service in the pre­ vention and cure of disease that our medical practice offers. —Harold Thomas, M.D.

Shanghai In spite of the Manchurian invasion and the consequent resentment in China the year began with outward peace. This peace was rudely shaken before the end of January by the invasion of Shanghai. This occurred during our winter vacation when there were only about a hundred students on the campus.

University of Shanghai The Japanese established their air base alongside of the campus and their army headquarters across the road so that we were in the Japanese lines and had to have passes from their army authorities to go and come. All the stu­ dents and most of the faculty moved into the International Settlement. For two months we were unable to open college and for two months had to carry on in temporary quarters in the Settlement. When the Japanese evacu­ ated, the students came back to the campus. While the enrolment for the spring term was smaller, it was one of the best term’s work we have ever done. The spirit among the students was never finer. The classes in moral and religious courses were full to overflowing. In the autumn the enrolment returned to normal and the fine spirit has continued. There are large elective THE EAST CHINA MISSION 91 classes in Comparative Religion and in the Christian Religion. The responsi­ bility for helping mould the characters of the future leaders of China con­ fronts us everywhere.—F. J. White.

The School of Commerce During the past year we have launched our downtown project known as The School of Commerce of the University of Shanghai. It was not possible for us to open as scheduled on February 1, due to the Japanese attack on the terri­ tory around Shanghai, but on March 3 we began with an enrolment of 250 students. The first semester was closed in the month of July, later than usual due to the late start. Our present enrolment is 515. This, together with the enrolment on the campus gives us the largest enrolment of any Christian college in China. Nearly all of our students are employed in the banks and business firms of the city during the daytime but carry on their work with us during the evenings. We start our work at 4:30 P.M. and close at 9:15, except Saturdays when we have classes beginning at 2 until 9:15 P.M. We have a school of Journal­ ism in cooperation with the leading Chinese newspapers in China. There is only one other institution doing this kind of work, Yenching University. We are entirely self-supporting, except my salary which is paid by the Society. The money for the space we occupy to the amount of $50,000 was raised by Chinese business men. In addition we have had several contribu­ tions from Chinese friends for the purpose of helping students who are not able to pay tuition. Our aim here is first of all to try to emphasize honesty and character as the essential elements for business and social success. Secondly, by this sort of service to the community we hope to be accepted as one of the important institutions in this city. W e speak here not for the School of Commerce alone but for the whole of the University of Shanghai. It seems true that the future of the University of Shanghai depends on the Shanghai community. —S. S. Beath.

Shaohing Early in January a group of convention workers and missionaries met for a three days’ retreat at the beautiful West Lake, Hangchow. W e had de­ lightful fellowship together sharing our common problems and planning for the year’s work. Hardly had we finished our meeting and settled down for other tasks when the tragedy of Chapei was upon us with all its anxieties and sorrows. Crowds of refugees poured into Shaohing and through the city on their way to Ningpo and other southern points which were temporarily shut off. Almost as suddenly as the storm had broken it cleared. Conditions returned to normal very quickly in Chekiang, but at this writing they are still far from normal in the Chapei district. A retreat for Shaohing preachers and church visitors was held in May. A unique feature of this meeting was that each worker was expected to go to 92 AMERICAN BAPTIST FOREIGN MISSION SOCIETY

The Christian Hospital for a physical examination at some time during the period of the conference. Tragic results in the past from our failure to have physical examinations have led the District Committee to insist on an annual physical check-up for each preacher. The annual meeting of the East China Baptist Mission was held in Shaohing. The attendance of members of the mission was large. The Shaohing District is divided into four pastoral circuits. At the head of each circuit is an ordained pastor. Cooperating with the chairmen of the pastoral circuits is the District Pastor. Through the able superintendence of these men the growth in the country churches has been gratifying. Up to the end of November 71 baptisms had been reported from the country churches. The outlook for Christian work in East China has never been brighter. The period of uncertainty and experiment following the revolution of 1927 is past. W e know where we are. The encroachments of Japan upon Chinese soil have sobered the people. Doors stand wide open. Contacts are all about us. During the year there have been 96 baptisms in the Shaohing field. In 1927 there were only 88 in the entire field of the Chekiang Shanghai Con­ vention.—A. F. Ufford.

The Christian Hospital This hospital is outspokenly Christian, not only in name but we trust also in fact. W e not only accept without reserve the five general aims of Chris­ tian medical work propounded by the Commission of the Laymen’s Foreign Missions Inquiry, but ever since the inception of this work thirty years ago have ourselves earnestly and consistently advocated them, and so far as cir­ cumstances permitted, practiced them. W e have claimed that the profes­ sional quality of our service must be the first desideratum, that its only motive must be the inevitable response of a heart that loves and has, to the recognized need of any human being regardless of race, creed, or social condition. To do less would not be Christian, but can we do no more? May we speak freely our convictions regarding health and disease, social welfare, politics, history or art, but in the realm of religion suddenly become dumb? W e know of many who in our ward and elsewhere first heard of the love of God and eagerly asked to hear more, who enjoyed the public singing of our hymns, who found comfort in prayer. Only one important change in the personnel of the staff has been made during the year, the laboratory technician. Old procedures will be carried out with still greater care than before, and certain new tests will be instituted which will make our diagnosis and treatment more sure and effective. Miss Katherine Muehl, Supervisor of Nurses in half our wards and in the operat­ ing room, is doing much to bring the quality of our nursing service up to a high standard. Our staff has been immeasurably strengthened by the fact that Dr. Chen and Dr. Chan, who have been winning great favor not only among the Christian community but in the city at large, have decided to remain with us on a permanent basis. Miss Charlotte Lamer whose health gave us great concern not long ago has been able to carry with but little THE EAST CHINA MISSION 93 interference her responsibilities in the nursing department as well as many of those duties for which we should have a business manager. Dr. Goddard, returning from furlough in the fall of 1931, has been at his post throughout the year. W e have received a larger class of probationers than usual and report 23 pupils in our training school, the largest number in our history. W e are also glad to be able to report that all the six members of our senior class successfully passed the final examinations set by the Nurses’ Association of China and will be completing their periods of training with us during the next three or four months. When the usual epidemic of cholera struck this city in the summer a group of public spirited citizens came forward with the proposal to bear the expense of a cholera hospital for the season if one of our staff would act as medical director. At the close of the epidemic serious consideration was given to plans for the establishment of a permament isolation hospital under govern­ ment control.—F. W. Goddard, M.D. THE SOUTH CHINA MISSION

Reported by Rev. B. L. Baker

N looking back to 1932 our first thought is of the environment in which our work has been conducted. This was more favorable than at any O time within the past seven years. During the year communist and bandit activities prevailed in certain regions, calling for repeated efforts by government forces to suppress them; north, south and west witnessed in­ stances of regional civil strife; during the whole year the Sino-Japanese problem has been with us, leaving China at the end of the year facing the most serious affront to her sovereignty and national security the new nation has yet met. Nevertheless, though the regions affected suffered intensely, nearly the whole of our South China field was wonderfully spared. Practi­ cally all of this area, except Sun Wu and a few other localities, was reasonably well controlled. Disturbances were at a minimum, travel was safe, and the attitude of the people both toward religious workers and foreigners in general was friendly and receptive.

EDUCATIONAL WORK Aggressive opposition to Christian schools has passed. Each year sees progress in the extension of general educational advantages. Church schools still find a sphere of service, and over the field as a whole our lower primary schools have been prosperous. The central station schools of upper primary grade were for the most part satisfactory. Chaoyang had to discontinue its Junior High department but that at Kityang is worthy of special note. Of this school Rev. E. H. Giedt writes: “ Last spring our present Chinese principal, Mr. K. T. Ling, finding the school overcrowded, volunteered to find the money for completing our building program. With funds secured almost entirely from Chinese sources locally, in Hongkong, and in Canton he not only finished a large building giving us two commodious and well-lighted dining rooms and more dormitory and teachers’ room space on the second floor, but also a new kitchen and a new re-enforced concrete veranda along the entire frontage of both the old and new sections of the school. The building enthusiasm spread to the students and teachers so that they contributed $500 Mex. toward a well-built permanent stage with adjoin­ ing dressing room, office space, etc. All this has required something like $9000 Mex., yet the principal assures me that it is nearly all paid for and holds himself responsible for the rest. “ Kwong Yit Academy at Meihsien (Kaying) began the year with problems but was in a flourishing condition at the close. It is interesting to note the influence of this school whose graduates occupy positions of importance in other schools. “ Kak Kuang Academy at Kakchieh experienced a peak registration of 415, 94 THE SOUTH CHINA MISSION 95

about 70 of whom were girls. This school with three missionary members on the staff, but with no appropriations, running on a budget of something less than $40,000 Mex. inclusive of boarding fees, indicates something of the work our Christian church is conducting, the while constituting a tribute to the ability of principal H. C. Ling. It was praised in the fall by a repre­ sentative of the Provincial Educational Department as the foremost school of this grade in the Swatow area.”

Ashmore Theological Seminary Rev. G. H. Waters and Rev. K. G. Hobart both gave interesting accounts of the Theological Seminary for 1932. Mr. Hobart writes: “ Last February we graduated the first class in ten years. The Seminary had been closed during the most of that time. The class contained five splendid young men, all of whom are now at work on the field and are making good. The enrol­ ment during the year was 14 regular and two special students. There has been marked progress in the students’ extra-curricular activities and services. Almost every week-end of the school year has seen one or more deputations visiting the out-station churches, helping with the Sunday services, visiting the homes of church members and non-Christians. Several have helped out in the Sunday school at Kakchieh by teaching classes of boys. During the summer months most of the students conducted Daily Vacation Bible Schools or served pastorless churches.” Of the short term lay-workers’ class Mr. Waters says: “It was with keen interest that a short course for lay-workers was announced to be held from November 28 to December 19, the only expense for those who came being $2 each as an enrolment fee. It was a new experiment but the thirteen who came representing four of the five Associations showed interest that justified the effort. Beside the biblical and other subjects taken the class shared the daily life of the regular students and came in touch with the program of the church on the compound.”

Swatow Christian Institute The most significant event of the year was the transfer of the conduct of this work from the Mission to the Ling Tong Executive Committee to be administered by a Board of Trustees representing that Committee, the Swatow churches, and the Mission. In May the work went under the Trustees. In regard to the Institute activities Mrs. Jacob Speicher writes: “There are several things that stand out in the year’s work, one is the evangelistic meetings which the church and the Institute jointly held in May. It was a time of real heart-searching. Since that, time quite a few of our Christians have given time to personal evangelism. Bible classes have also been held on Sunday evenings with an attendance of a hundred or more. In December we had another week of evangelistic meetings. “The Anti-Opium Society, which was organized by the Institute and in which other organizations are represented, had a week of lectures and pub­ licity on this important question and plans for future activities to meet the 96 AMERICAN BAPTIST FOREIGN MISSION SOCIETY problem were formulated. A petition was sent to the Provincial Government asking that measures be taken to prohibit the planting of the poppy and at the same time officials were sent through the Province to make investigation and to enforce this order. Another petition was sent to the Provincial Govern­ ment that in every large city some place be provided where opium addicts might be cured of this habit. This petition also received favorable attention. During the summer special attention was given to work among children, two Daily Vacation Bible Schools being held with about a hundred pupils in each.”

EVANGELISTIC WORK In connection with the evangelistic work it is gratifying to record a wide­ spread opportunity that challenges the Christian forces to immensely bigger things. The Chinese are reading more deeply than ever before. Thousands are awakened to new concern for what is most worthwhile in individual, com­ munity and national life. The opportunity for genuine, able, broad-minded evangelism was never more favorable. Two outstanding features of the year’s evangelistic endeavor were the special meetings led by Dr. Sung and the tent evangelism on the Kityang field. The Ling Tong Convention continued its special evangelistic endeavor during the year having three workers engaged in this activity. Everywhere they re­ ported a good hearing. On one of these trips a region on the Ungkung field not visited for years was reached. On the Hakka field only a limited amount of aggressive evangelistic effort was made. The field evangelist resigned after a few months of service and Mr. Burket has been giving his attention largely to the work in Swatow. One thing that accounts for the limited amount of direct evangelistic work done on this field is the fact that two of the strongest evangelistic workers have been giving their time to the development of the Union Hakka Church in Swatow. Christians of seven denominations worship together. Attend­ ance has doubled, baptisms have occurred during the year, and there is growth in self-support. It is most encouraging to note that of the number baptized a good proportion are students from the schools. In the Hopo field Mr. Adams notes that of a total of 55 baptisms, 43 were students although this proportion would not apply in other places.

MEDICAL WORK Our five hospitals all rendered either full or part-time service during the year. Rev. A. S. Adams speaks very enthusiastically of the work going on at Hopo. Each year this hospital takes a subscription to help pay for medi­ cines used in charity service. This year, due to economical and political diffi­ culties, it was not in a position to put on the usual campaign. The hospital is conducting a number of dispensaries in adjacent places and thus extending the sphere of its ministry. At Chaoyang Dr. C. E. Bousfield reports: “The year’s work has been a very interesting undertaking. At first the patients were very few and the hospital receipts were very small. Month by month these increased until THE SOUTH CHINA MISSION 97

both Dr. Wu and I were working beyond our strength. On many days we were unable to see all of the patients who came. I hold a leper clinic every Monday morning. The Chinese Leper Society gives me the necessary drugs, and the hospital contributes the service and such ointment and antiseptic solutions as are necessary. Cost is met by freewill gifts from the lepers them­ selves. The evangelistic work in the hospital has been carried on by Dr. Wu and me as far as the evangelistic meetings are concerned. Our Bible woman has been faithful and tactful and few have left the hospital without some knowledge of the Gospel. For several reasons it continued impossible to get a Chinese physician for the Ungkung Hospital and Miss Fannie Northcott, R.N., again spent the year there keeping the hospital in service. Ungkung is the center of a populous community and this is the only hospital available to its numerous sick. Many gladly come to the hospital and very greatly appreciate what Miss North­ cott and her limited staff can do for them. The Kityang Hospital reports a full staff. Dr. Marguerite Everham was assisted by two Chinese doctors, a man and a woman, both fully qualified and very efficient, with Miss Katherine Bohn and three Chinese graduate nurses and a small class of student nurses. During the autumn, however, the woman physician resigned. Our mission hospital is the only equipped hospital in the large Kityang district, with not one fully trained physician outside of our hospital staff. Dr. Velva V. Brown reported for the Kakchieh Hospital a staff with Dr. Brown as the only full-time qualified physician. Dr. Marian Stephens, still engaged in language work, gives a limited amount of time to the hospital. In­ patients for 1932 numbered 555; out-patients 1343, with total visits recorded as 10,400. The Ling Tong Convention The Ling Tong organization carried on commendably through the year. The Executive Committee, the Secretarial staff, the Hospital and Academy Trustees and the Woman’s Committee were active, having many meetings and giving much thought and time to the administration of the work. It is good to report that the Convention raised towards the budget a great deal more than they gave the year previous. There were added to the staff of general workers two men who had been north for study and who returned in the summer. One was made general and religious educational secretary and one secretary for young people’s work. The fall they spent acquiring experience in visiting various parts of the fields. It is too soon to report on their work. After many delays the Executive Committee finally passed the General Agree­ ment covering the transfer of the work from the Mission to the Convention, which has been under discussion for two years. All that now remains is to get the final texts harmonized and presented to the Boards. The Agreement covering the transfer of the Swatow Christian Institute work to the Ling Tong Convention was also finished and temporary transfer of the work was effected pending the final ratification of the Agreement by the Boards and the Con­ vention. 98 AMERICAN BAPTIST FOREIGN MISSION SOCIETY

WORK IN SIAM For our work in Bangkok, Siam, the following from the pen of Dr. A. F. Groesbeck, the missionary pastor there, indicates something of the years’ ex­ periences : “ The schools have gone on fairly well. There is no opposition anywhere to religious instruction. We do not compel attendance upon Sunday services. The Chamber of Commerce is the most influential organization among the Chinese in Siam. W e have been cooperating with the group when funds for Famine Relief and War relief at Shanghai have been raised. China has never had a Consular or other representative in Siam. The Chamber of Commerce has looked out for the interests of Chinese citizens as far as possible. Recently China sent a commercial attaché to Bangkok. Our school and church were notified by the Chamber of Commerce and we were asked to join in meeting his train and in helping to entertain him while he was in town. “We have had a fairly good number of baptisms, four of the men baptized were teachers in our own and other schools. They are helping with the new day and night schools with a spirit which promises well for the future. One of the teachers and his wife will be baptized at our next communion service. I must not fail to mention a most important item in our Christmas festivities. I refer to the dedication of 24 babies on Christmas Sunday. In a land where children are loved and wanted our failure in the past to make any recognition of this fact certainly left much to be desired. The service was very simple. After calling attention to the responsibility of parents to raise their children and give them proper training, I laid my hand on each little head and offered prayer. After this prayer I gave each child a Bible, which the parents prom­ ised to use in the training of the child. One or two of the parents were not Christian, but they were ready to take the vows. One of these said, ‘I prom­ ised to train this child Christian ; I had better be reading the Bible myself so as to be prepared.’ I think the custom will help bring the church into line and sympathy with what is best in Chinese and Siamese life.”

MISSIONARY STAFF The year witnessed limited changes in the staff of the Mission. Miss Abbie G. Sanderson returned to the field and Miss Melvina Sollman and Rev. A. H. Page went on furlough. One new recruit, Rev. Bruno H. Luebeck, was added to our staff. He arrived in February and began at once on his language work. He brings enthusiasm that is most welcome and is fast mak­ ing a place for himself in the work. In the fall he was designated to the Ung- kung field, the designation to take effect within the next year. The Mission staff were for the most part spared serious illness. Rev. E. S. Burket contracted cholera while in Swatow during the summer, but he was fortunately gotten to the Swatow Hospital where prompt measures were suc­ cessful in combating the disease. It is a source of deep regret to report that Rev. and Mrs. J. H. Giffin had to return home early in the new year. THE WEST CHINA MISSION Reported by H. J. Openshaw, D.D. HE year 1932 opened with the Japanese aggression at Shanghai, causing considerable ferment among both students and populace; it closed with the most severe fighting this Province has ever witnessed. Rival war­ lords clashed, with a frightful loss of life and treasure, besides serious inter­ ference with usual activities. W e had the first visit of an airship and the bombs dropped were most unwelcome. To add to our troubles a very virulent form of cholera was epidemic for a time in the late summer and fall, with fatal results to thousands. There has been no anti-Christian nor anti-foreign demonstrations during the year, but much bitter feeling has been evident toward all foreigners. There have been thirteen units on the field, with three families at home. Two have finished their language study period and are eligible for work. Four of the total are connected with the University. With furloughs and retirements the working force in 1934 will be down to an irreducible minimum. Two ordained Chinese, both University graduates, together with a graduate doctor, have been added to our ranks. A University graduate is associate pastor at Suifu. Donald Fay has become General Secretary of the Y. M. C. A., Chengtu, and another of our ordained men has become principal of the School for the Blind and Deaf. Wallace Wang is working for his B.D. degree at Yenching University. These young men are most promising and will be of great service to the church in Szechuan. Pastoral workers and evangelistic secretaries have stressed evangelism, and special meetings were held in all four central stations with good results. The statistical report shows 216 additions to the churches. The schools from kindergarten to college have had normal enrolments; the hospitals have con­ tinued their ministry with their vaccination clinics reaching far afield. The total number of out-patients reached was 39,284.

STATION REPORTS Chengtu The Annual Conferences met with the Kiating church in the early part of the year for ten days. The outstanding event was the ordination service when G. B. Fu and Y. C. Hsu, recommended by the Chengtu church, were set apart to the Christian ministry. Three gospel meetings a week have been main­ tained at the Street Chapel, and we opened the year with a month’s special meetings there. Our annual house-to-house tract visitation campaign was completed and thousands of people were reached. We record 19 additions by baptism during the year. Attendance at the various services has been good but not large. While full charge rests in the Chinese pastor the church is still considered by the majority as a foreign institution. However, under Pastor 99 100 AMERICAN BAPTIST FOREIGN MISSION SOCIETY

Hsu, we are making advance along helpful lines, and with the decadence of the temples, we hope to supply the heart need of this great people. Turning to the more intimate part of the work of the year, one is faced with the question of Christian worship for and by students. As our university voted to ask for registration with the government, we made Christian worship vol­ untary on the part of students. The several colleges followed the example of the university. It may be said that we have maintained a good average attend­ ance at the Sunday evening services of the university. Allied to this matter of Christian worship in the university and its colleges is that of religious in­ struction. This also was made an elective course at the same time as worship was placed on a voluntary basis. On the whole we have had a fairly good enrolment in courses in religion.—Joseph Taylor. Our schools continue to prosper and we have splendid opportunities of mak­ ing happy contacts with both the children and their parents. The Sunday school and Children’s Church work, with a splendid corps of Christian teachers have continued in their helpful ministry to the young people. W e held two weeks of special meetings for children at the Street Chapel and packed the place every evening. The average attendance at our Boys’ School increased to 143 in 1932.—H. J. Openshaw. The hours spent in University teaching during the year have been particu­ larly stimulating. A number of new courses were added. Among them “ Chinese Literature in English Translations” helped the students to turn again to their own classics with new eyes; “A History of Chinese Religious Experi­ ences” opened the mind and the heart to authentic spiritual explorations of other days; “A Brief History of Civilization” took the students in a survey, ma­ terial, intellectual and spiritual, of the great national cultures; “ The English Bible as Literature” taught to large classes in both the Union University and the Government University in the city, stirred exciting and rewarding discus­ sion; and “ The Poetry of Robert Browning” was an exhilaration, for Brown­ ing, the most Christian of our English poets, conveys the gospel and the philosophy of Jesus’ way of life in a manner deeply congenial to the Chinese mind.—D. L. Phelps.

Kiating The aim of the work here has been primarily one of soul-winning. Forty- eight have been received into the church by baptism this year and we have every reason to believe that the number would have been at least doubled but for the outbreak of war which seemed to make the holding of classes in prepara­ tion for church membership inadvisable. The Sunday school has been entirely reorganized and reorientated so that it is now a service of the church.— /. C. Jensen. The schools opened last spring with good promise, but within two days the principal of the central station school showed evidence of tuberculosis. We received the loyal cooperation of the teachers, however, and we were able to carry on and the school had a good spring term. W e were compelled to close the school in November owing to war conditions but hope that we shall be able THE WEST CHINA MISSION 101

to reopen early in the Chinese New Year. Work is progressing nicely in the new church building and compound.—L. A. Lovegren.

Suifu Pressing opportunities have brought varied activities. With the coming of new pastoral leaders and student workers, the opportunity for inspiration and example; with flooded attendance of schools, the chance to present to a larger number of China’s future leaders the Christian ideals and spirit. With in­ creased friendship through the community, the opportunity to enlist money in poor relief; with growing loyalty of church members the chance to promote a larger program of Christian work. The church compound with its reading room of Christian books, its playground and its Bible classes for all ages through the week is getting to be a mecca for students. Mr. Franklin Chang, my new colleague in the pastoral work here, is untiring in his plans and work. He carries classes in each of our schools for contact with students. His program at Munroe Academy includes one day and night per week with Bible classes, personal Christian conferences, and daylight prayer meetings included. Our church services have a new reverence. Our Sunday school has almost doubled in attendance and in interest. The Children’s Church, started by Mrs. Wood and Mrs. Vichert, is building for the future church. An anti-opium campaign is planned for this year which will aim to enroll youthful enthusiasm. Deacons are to raise and handle a poor fund for relief of emergency cases. Local groups are to try to maintain simple worship themselves and increase their gifts to the work. Inquirers’ classes were smaller this year on account of warfare and brigands. Through these classes, the city classes, and the schools, ninety-eight were baptized this year. Many students have had to be turned away from our schools. The City School has the largest attendance in its history. There is a movement to Christ among these ambitious lads. We baptized twenty-one of them this year. The “Apostolic Teams,” composed of nine students and three older evangelists, worked in six centers this summer. Vacation Bible schools, home prayer meetings, preaching to the masses reached government students, Chris­ tians and outsiders. The many schools and homes who have their agricultural, hygiene, and evangelistic tracts pasted on their walls and booklets on their tables, show the appreciation of their message. We sent two students to Yachow Bible School last fall. They have returned this New Year’s vacation with Christian zeal and a message. They will study three years there. Two or three students for the ministry go up there from Monroe next fall. How the few hundred scattered Christians among the thousands of this wide district need trained Christian leaders! We need a University trained man to reach the educated of these 2,000,000 people in this district.— C. F. Wood. Since coming to Suifu most of my time has been spent in language study but I have had more contact with the Chinese people here than in Chengtu. I have had six classes a week in Physical Education at the Boys’ Primary School. Two afternoons a week are spent across the river at Monroe Acad­ emy. W e feel that this play with the boys affords an excellent opportunity to 102 AMERICAN BAPTIST FOREIGN MISSION SOCIETY teach them true sportsmanship, which is a bit of practical Christianity.— C. G. Vichert. The most gratifying event of the year was the tour of the out-stations on a vaccination campaign. The withering blight of the opium curse is more noticeable today than it was a decade ago. W e vaccinated 2,820 people, and treated about 200 more. Rev. C. G. Vichert was an able assistant, and had his introduction to country touring. Preaching services were held each night. Less pleasant to relate were the visits of the cholera epidemic, and the air raid. In both cases the people sought the services of the mission hospitals. The out-patient department has kept up a good attendance, showing continued confidence in the institution. W e had 32,887 visits, or treatments, during the year. Dr. Chang has gone to Chengtu for a year’s post-graduate work, and we have another Baptist doctor, product of our Mission Schools and the Union University, to assist us. Despite the increasing burden of heavy taxes by the military, we were able to balance the budget. It now comes to about $12,000 a year, and we receive about $2,000 from the appropriations. Chinese gifts are not very common, and we are beginning to charge more for medicine and service.— C. E. Tompkins.

Yachow This has been one of the busiest years of the twenty I have spent out here. The work in the Yachow field has continued without interruption through the year: regular church services, including the Wednesday evening prayer meet­ ing, the special prayer group and a Bible study group on Friday evenings. The interest in the Boys’ Club has not abated. Every Thursday night when the schools are in session about 90 boys are in attendance. On the Hill the boys of the Junior High and Higher Primary Schools maintain their clubs. The Easter season was appropriately observed, and 21 men and women were baptized. In October, Mr. H. J. Openshaw and Mr. Torrance, the latter the repre­ sentative of the American Bible Society in Szechuan, came to Yachow for a series of evangelistic meetings. Considerable interest was created in these meetings and over 300 names were handed in. Many who attended these meetings have experienced a quickening of interest and endeavor. Dr. Open­ shaw was instrumental in helping us to open the work at the street chapel this fall. The attendance and interest shown has made us feel it worth while to continue this work. Twice a week services are held there with simple hymns, prayer and gospel messages. The language has been hard to learn and the discouragements many, but we shall keep at the language, and some day we may be able to speak it so as to really help people.—M. O. Brininstool. W e have here in Yachow a kindergarten for boys and girls, and a lower and higher primary school for girls. These three grades enrolled a total of 239 in the past year. For boys we have a lower primary school here in the city, a well graded school, with an enrolment of 115. This is one of the best equipped schools of its grade in West China. There are lower primary schools in five of our out-stations, one in the Lolo country, and one in the East Suburb of this THE WEST CHINA MISSION 103 city. The total enrolment of these schools is 285. From these schools have come the trained Christian leaders our churches have today. From these must come the trained leaders of tomorrow. W e can not expect trained leaders from government schools yet for the atmosphere of government schools is not con­ ducive to the development of Christian faith. W e must provide and promote a Christian environment if we hope to win the youth of China for Christ. At the end of June we held a Union Commencement at the church. Since our schools are registered with the government, the educational authorities as­ sembled the candidates for graduation from certain grades for final examina­ tions. The students of our school, as heretofore, made a far better showing than those of government schools.

The Bible Training School The Szechuan Baptist Bible Training School has completed two and a half years’ work. Fourteen students have been enrolled, including two young women. Through the Field Work they have done willing service among out- stations and in villages within a radius of 25 miles. Several villages have been visited which otherwise would have had no opportunity of hearing the gospel message. During the school term we visited 25 different places.—F. N. Smith.

Yachow Hospital At best, an annual report can give only a general impression of the work of the year. To mention that we have seen 13,000 patients in the dispensaries and 366 patients in the hospital does not convey much information. To add that 64 surgical operations have been performed under general anaesthesia, 30 under local anaesthesia, and 370 without anaesthesia may give further light, but does not give all the information. With the opening of a preaching place on the main street, the hospital has assumed responsibility of the program one night a week when various phases of Preventative Medicine are presented. One nurse teaches hygiene in the Boys’ Middle School and looks after the health of the boys. At other times the members of the staff have given health lectures to our Mission schools, to the government schools, and to special meetings. Whan Hseih Kwang, the blind evangelist, has been faithful in speaking to the waiting patients in the hospital wards. Since furlough Dr. Crook has been the only doctor in Yachow Hospital. This year a graduate of the West China Union University Medical School, Dr. K. P. Wan, joined the staff. He is a real product of our Mission schools. In making Dr. Wan superintendent of the Hospital we are carrying out a policy of placing our leaders in places of responsibility. He has well justified our faith in him. Mr. Yang Dze Yuin, our technician, has returned from a short study period in Chengtu. Mr. Yu Dso Dso is back from Peking, where he pursued some post graduate studies in nursing. We frequently ask ourselves the question, “ Is the Yachow Hospital fulfilling its mission?” Such a question suggests another, “What is the hospital’s mission?” Without going into a lengthy discussion we would say that the hospital’s chief mission is to reveal the Spirit of Jesus Christ, thereby revealing 104 AMERICAN BAPTIST FOREIGN MISSION SOCIETY the love of God. W e believe that this can best be done by kind ministry to the sick, by a ministry that utilizes the best which Christianity and modern science can offer. In addition we try to ameliorate suffering by teaching the preven­ tion of disease and we try to teach others to carry on our work. These are trying days for us all. As we must depend more on local support, we must lessen our charity work. Though the work must suffer temporarily, the hospital is still serving this great area.—R. L. Crook. THE JAPAN MISSION Reported by Royal H. Fisher OPU LAR preoccupation for many months with national and inter­ national problems has rendered extremely difficult any work which en­ Pvisages the establishment of a civilization of men of invincible good-will. However, the urgency of the program was never more apparent than in this very atmosphere of undeclared warfare and strife. Those in this land who are opposed to what is really going on (and, we must remember, large blocks of facts are kept from them through a rigid censorship) feel helpless in the face of a closely laid campaign of aggression. But this small and growing group needs the moral support of right-thinking men everywhere. World opinion, economic laws which are no respecter of persons, international justice—these cannot be lightly tossed aside. The liberal group in this Empire appeals to time. Among them are many Christians and these deserve strong backing. Now is the time to come to the aid of the saving remnant in Japan. Let American Christians come forward to the aid of their sorely pressed brothers in Christ who constitute so large a proportion of the group here who are the hope of the situation. The campaign for an aggressive socio-evangelistic forward movement was never more impera­ tively needed than now. Despite heavy odds the work of Christ in Japan must not falter. Re­ thinking is called for. Readjustment of details will be necessary. Was there ever a more glorious opportunity to bring to bear the principles of Jesus upon the thinking of a nation than in this island empire where might clashes with right in a dramatic struggle which resounds around the world, and where those in authority are disturbed with a feeling that all is not well in spite of victory at arms ?

PROGRESS IN REORGANIZATION This year has seen progress made slowly but surely toward the reorgani­ zation of the Japanese Baptist Church and the Mission. A Committee has been quietly working out details of the merger which will bring about an even greater degree of coordination and mutual helpfulness among the various elements which go to make up Baptist work as a whole in this land. Progress has been made in the Inland Sea field by the erection of two modest but adequate church plants with parsonages in promising centers and by the acquisition of desirable pieces of land in two other leading communities. Thus have the funds which were realized from the sale of the historic Little White Ship begun to operate to produce a new spirit of courage and opti­ mism in this territory so long the field of Baptist responsibility. The pres­ ence of Rev. and Mrs. M. D. Farnum has probably done more than any one thing to put new life into that work. In the northern end of the island field Mr. W. F. Topping is at work on a proposition for cooperative farming which 105 106 AMERICAN BAPTIST FOREIGN MISSION SOCIETY seems full of promise along a somewhat novel line of approach. A new day of opportunity is ours in this field made sacred by the sacrifices of a long line of worthy missionaries. Another field, made historic by the untiring labors of Missionary E. H. Jones, has taken on new life. Dr. and Mrs. J. S. Kennard cover the Mito district from Tokyo and write: “ The Mito church has been making wonderful progress and its success in attaining to the rank of one of the first dozen Baptist churches in Japan is an event of which they may be justly proud. Five years ago this church was in a precarious condition with congregations of a bare half dozen and the expenses mostly borne by the Mission. That it now seems within two years of full self-support and has reached a point in membership and giving where it is contributing one hundred yen a month toward its budget is due to the personality of its new pastor. Some of the credit must go to the fine new building which has been provided mostly by American money.”

JAPANESE CHRISTIAN LITERATURE A comparatively new venture by the Baptist Literature Bureau in the publication of a monthly pictorial has been meeting with marked success. It aims to be a pictorial of missions, international friendship and evangelism. Pictures speak a universal language and know neither foreigner or illiterate thus having an appeal as an ideal medium of reconciliation and of presenting the Christian message. Approximately three hundred thousand copies were published the first year. It is printed by the photogravure process and an accompanying sheet gives news and articles in both English and Japanese of world interest. This Christian Graphic is gaining recognition widely; sub­ scribers are increasing from all parts of the world. The revised Union Hymnal within its first year of publication has gone into its fourth edition; fourteen countries have yielded their best music to its pages, and there are 21 new Japanese hymns and 24 new original Japanese tunes included. It is a truly remarkable volume which is proving an effec­ tive agent for evangelization. It goes into homes as a practice book where otherwise the gospel might not be able to make its contacts. Dr. Yugoro Chiba, LL.D., has recently been elected as President of Kanto Gakuin (Mabie Memorial School) in Yokohama, succeeding Dr. Charles B. Tenny, whose continued sick leave in the States has left the institution poorer. Dr. Chiba brings to his task the confidence of the entire Baptist family around the world who know his splendid Christian character and ability. The school is prospering in spite of handicaps, attracting a better and better type of man to its student body of over 1,000. THE PHILIPPINE ISLANDS MISSION Reported by Rev. S. S. Feldmann VANGELISM is the primary aim of all of our Mission activities. Two evangelistic Gospel Teams at Central Philippine College and one Esuch team at the Baptist Student Center are doing much to push for­ ward our evangelistic program. The influence of these three groups of young people can never be counted. It spreads far beyond the circle of those with whom they come into direct contact. In Antique Province many hitherto unreached barrios are hearing the gospel preached. One new municipality has been entered and hopes for the future of the work there are encouraging. In San Jose, where up to this year the services were conducted in the home of a missionary, the church has been reorganized and a chapel rented. An attempt is being made to coordinate the services for the older church members and the services for the High School students. It is felt that through these students practically the whole of the Province is being touched. In Capiz Province the work is characterized by new developments in three fields, two of which came entirely as spontaneous movements. A pastor was placed in one town, unoccupied by our forces, in May. In September a chapel was dedicated, built entirely with local funds, and in October a church organized. In a second town, a Christian started preaching while working his farm, and has organized a church with twenty-five newly baptized mem­ bers, entirely self-supporting. The third of these developments is the most interesting. It is among the “non-Christians” or Mundos, wild mountain people who have never been touched by Roman Catholic influence. Seventy- three of them have been baptized and they are zealous believers. A new barrio has been built in which only Christians may live. The laymen in this field are continuing to give much of their time and energy to the direction of the work. Regular monthly institutes for the pastors have helped much to raise the standard of pastoral work and preaching. There is more hope for the future in this direction as the pastors are beginning to see the light of a new and better day when the churches will be entirely self-supporting. In Iloilo Province there are evidences of a new life. The coming to this field of Rev. and Mrs. P. F. Perron has been a great event. This is the first year that this field has had a full-time missionary adviser, and results thus far prove the wisdom of this step. Regular monthly pastors’ meetings are being held in this field. Improvement as a result is noted, especially in new and better methods and a clearer vision of a self-supporting church. During the year six new chapel buildings have been constructed, four of these of perma­ nent construction. The outlook for the future is most encouraging, and the missionary and native pastors look forward to increased fellowship and prog­ ress as time goes on. Negros Province has now been without an evangelistic field missionary for 107 108 AMERICAN BAPTIST FOREIGN MISSION SOCIETY

two years, though Miss May Coggins, in charge of the Girls’ Dormitory in Bacolod, has done much to stimulate progress in the field. The work in both North, and South Negros is in the hands of Executive Committees made up of worthy laymen of high caliber. They are all men in important positions, however, and so have not been able to give the time to the work which they would like to have given.

EDUCATIONAL WORK Our educational work is being carried on chiefly in the following schools: Central Philippine College; Central Philippine College Theological Depart­ ment ; Baptist Missionary Training School; Baptist Home School; two Nurses’ Training Schools; and a host of small primary and intermediate schools conducted by the churches in places where there are no government schools. The work at the College has this year been very hard hit by the depres­ sion, bringing with it a decline in enrolment and local income. The recent development of support from the churches is a move toward making the Col­ lege the training center for Protestant young people. The College Church and other religious activities have gone steadily forward. The barrio Sunday schools have been well maintained; its two Gospel teams are active; and other religious services are well supported. The Theological Department of the College is rendering a distinct contribution to the field through the services of its students. Every Saturday sees the exodus of the theological students into the field where they are building up and strengthening small and weak churches to which they are assigned. Not the least of our institutions is the Student Center. It continues to be a place of many and varied activities. A full-time girls’ worker and a part-time theological student to help with the boys’ work have rendered faith­ ful service. One new feature of the work at the Student Center, this year, has been the organization of a Gospel Team. Street meetings are held twice a month, a meeting each week in a crippled boys’ home and in the prison. Results in decisions for Christ have been most gratifying. It is sincerely hoped that in this way a vast number of the student population boarding in homes all around the Student Center may be reached.

MEDICAL WORK Both Mission Hospitals have been busy. Here as in other places, the de­ pression has made itself felt. About eighty per cent of the work of the hos­ pitals this year has been charity work. The new buildings of the Iloilo Mis­ sion Hospital have proved of great blessing. Dr. P. C. Grigg has rendered a remarkable piece of service in the adjustments which necessarily came with the moving of the plant from the old site to the new. The X-ray, a gift to the Capiz Hospital from generous friends in the States, is proving its worth to the community. THE BELGIAN CONGO MISSION Reported by Rev. P. A. MacDiarmid URING the past year 3485 were added by baptism to the churches as I compared with 2347 in 1931. The largest increase, that of 1018, was Din the Moanza field. In spite of persecution, or perhaps because of it, many villages sought teachers from Moanza and inquirers by the hundreds added their names to the lists. In the Vanga field Rev. H. D. Brown writes “ One hundred seventy-five were accepted out of 482 examined at one post last month. I feel certain that others might have been received but we have felt that much depends upon the foundation laid, and that it is better to go slowly than to regret it later.” During our Reference Committee meeting last May our missionaries were so impressed with the necessity of coming to a mutual understanding on questions relating to the church in Congo that a representative group met at Banza Manteke, and during the three days there the organization, work and discipline of the church were carefully canvassed. The findings have been submitted to the stations and will be brought before the Native Conference to be held at Sona Bata next May. In Congo we have one advantage over many fields in that there is little competition between Protestant denominations. Very few of the Christian people know the names, Baptist, Methodist, Presbyterian, etc. At Stanley Pool, during the year, the Swedish Mission on one side of the Pool and the British and American Baptists on the other, united in one set of rules for the churches, and one name, “Evangelical Churches of Stanley Pool.” More im­ portant still a splendid harmony exists between the missionaries of the three missions.

EDUCATION Our stations are considering questions on education more seriously than ever before. The monopoly granted by the Belgian Government to the Roman Catholic Missions (so-called National Missions) in the field of State education in Congo for a period of twenty years makes us scrutinize closely our own educational aims and methods. Protestant missionaries in Congo have come to realize that to leave education in the hands of the Romanists would be destructive of many of the Christian principles we are implanting in the minds of the youth of the land. While protesting to the Government we must at the same time bring our own schools to such a standard of excellence that the Government cannot fail to appreciate their worth. At Banza Manteke and Sona Bata the government program for schools is closely followed and the other stations are also bringing their school programs into line with that of the State. The Kongo Evangelical Training Institution at Kimpcse has this year more clearly defined its courses of study. Instead of one course for all the men 109 110 AMERICAN BAPTIST FOREIGN MISSION SOCIETY

there are now two—a two years’ course suited to the needs of the men who have either lacked sufficient training or are slower mentally, and a three years’ course for the better prepared, more mentally alert group. Rev. S. E. Moon, who was for many years principal of K. E. T. I. and who, perhaps more than anyone else, is responsible for its development in equipment, staff personnel, and influence it has exerted through the men trained there on large numbers of our Congo Christians, has now returned to Congo hoping to broaden the scope of influence. Mrs. Moon has done a splendid work in the training of the wives of teachers and pastors. Mr. and Mrs. Moon are now located at Leopoldville but as far as possible they wish to be considered educational missionaries-at-large, helping village teachers by visitation, friendly sugges­ tion and by teachers’ institutes.

MEDICAL SERVICE W e are more aware than ever before that to deal in a satisfactory way with the sick of this land there must be a large trained body of native workers in addition to our doctors and nurses. This problem of medical training for the natives was barely touched at a preliminary medical conference held at Kin­ shasa in November. Questions of the mission doctors’ relationships with the State Medical Service took most of the time. At the Medical Conference planned for next May we hope to have a more thorough discussion of medical education as suited to the need for Congolese helpers in mission medical service. The return of Dr. J. C. King to Sona Bata, where he is associated with Dr. G. W . Tuttle, gives an opportunity to formulate plans for the training of native nurses and dispensers in cooperation with that given by the State, for only a hospital having two or more doctors on the staff is recognized as adequate to meet the requirements of the State in giving the training according to the program of studies outlined for the courses.

STAFFING AND FINANCES Our missionaries point out that the depression is felt to the remotest bush villages. On the Tondo field the people are returning to offerings for church work in brass rods instead of francs. Mr. Moody writes that during 1932 the pastors and teachers accepted a twenty per cent reduction in pay and are starting 1933 with a thirty per cent reduction. The natives themselves are coming to a new valuation of money. The lengthening of terms of service in Congo was not meant primarily as a financial measure but it came at a time when that made a strong argument for it. The A. B. F. M. S. has lengthened terms of service, making them four years instead of three for first-termers, and four years and nine months instead of four years for all terms after the first. W e accepted the change and find that no one has been invalided home because of the extra time spent on the field. Some of us are not convinced that the first term, with its complete change of climate, etc., should be longer than three years, but apart from the economic value believe that for most missionaries the longer term after the first should be welcomed for continuity of work and effectiveness of service. BELGIAN CONGO MISSION 111

What gives us gravest concern is the lack of sufficient staff for the tasks that our ours. First term Roman Catholic priests and nuns coming to the Congo in 1932 number in the hundreds; American Baptists have added one new family appointed in 1931, while two families are withdrawn from Congo service. It is reasonable to talk of reducing the missionary personnel in fields where the nationals can carry much of the work by themselves, but in Congo the nationals are not yet ready to undertake the larger tasks. So many thou­ sands of converts have crowded into the church in recent years, and so many thousands more are on the lists of inquirers, that we could not give ourselves to intensive training on any adequate scale.

STATION REPORTS Banza Manteke The new station at Banza Manteke keeps on growing in substantial buildings and in well-kept gardens. Two of the brick houses are occupied by the missionaries and a third is nearing completion. Rev. J. E. Geil is to be con­ gratulated on the splendid development of the station. There are 216 pupils in the Boarding School. The highest class, now completing six years in the Boarding School, who are in the final year of the Normal Training Course, are taking almost all of their studies in French. The teachers report that the boys in this class have expressed a desire to do Christian work. The evangelistic and medical work still center at old Banza Manteke, a spot made sacred by the labors of Henry Richards and others. Rev. M. S. Engwall has had charge of the evangelistic work and village schools, Dr. H. M. Freas and Miss Esther Ehnbom that of the medical service. An interesting develop­ ment has been the baby clinic begun by Miss Ehnbom with the State. The numbers coming grew so rapidly that soon two days a week had to be given to the babies and their mothers. About two hundred are brought regulariy to be weighed, examined, and to receive treatment when necessary. Mrs. Engwall has conducted a class in mothercraft. Mrs. Freas assisted with the education work and prepared a program of studies for village schools.

Kimpese The Training Institution, with a faculty composed of Mr. Reynolds (Prin­ cipal), Mrs. Reynolds, Mr. and Mrs. Morrish, representing the British Baptists; Dr. Catherine Mabie, Rev. G. W. Carpenter, Rev. and Mrs. U. A. Lanoue, representing the American Baptists, has had a good year. Emphasis has been put upon the teaching of French and upon subjects in the Normal course for teachers. The two courses decided upon at the meeting of the Board of Management in June were put into effect when the students entered in September. It was also decided by the Board to give certificates to all who completed either course, but diplomas only to such students as shall be recom­ mended by the Faculty. 112 AMERICAN BAPTIST FOREIGN MISSION SOCIETY

Sona Bata There have been a number of changes in the staff at Sona Bata during the year. Miss Emily Satterberg, who carried heavy tasks in the medical work in the absence of Dr. G. W. Tuttle, left for furlough shortly after the return of Dr. and Mrs. Tuttle. Rev. Henry Erickson, returning from furlough in August, went to Sona Bata to assist Mr. Moody with the evangelistic work. Dr. J. C. King, after five years in the homeland recruiting his health, came back to Sona Bata to be associated with Dr. Tuttle in the general medical work and in the training of native helpers. Mr. and Mrs. Moody spent 94 days among the villages. This is quite a record for a man who has been in the Congo service forty-two years. The excellent school work on the station has continued.

Leopoldville Early in the year Mr. Ernest Atkins repaired the old chapel, the oldest building of any size in either Leopoldville or Kinshasa. It was built in 1891, by Dr. Aaron Sims, to whom we owe the beautiful station compound of twelve acres largely covered by stately palms and wide-spreading mango trees. Mr. Atkins, without destroying the lines of the old building, has repaired and renovated it until it looks good for another forty years of service. In December Mr. and Mrs. Atkins came again to help at Leopoldville. The Government has granted us a plot of land in the native city and upon this Mr. Atkins has commenced to build a combined church and school building and a house for the pastor. W e shall soon have the equipment but we need mission­ aries to supervise and organize the school and church.

Vanga •Rev. L. A. Brown reports for the evangelistic work: “ Special attention ought to be drawn to two things in our report. First, the yearly offerings which run within about 6,000 francs of last year. W e believe it is due to the giving out of gift cards to all inquirers and a systematic checking of their giving, together with the new interest of the district churches. Second, the number of inquirers—an increase of nearly 2,200 over last year. How can one missionary be expected to give adequate supervision to the instruction ex­ amination, and spiritual nurture of such a host ?” Dr. A. C. Osterholm lacked the assistance of a nurse all year. At the hospital 2,371 in-patients and 16,685 out-patients have been treated. Rev. and Mrs. E. G. Hall have had 240 boys in the boarding school and Mrs. Hilda J. Bain had 85 girls. It is of great advantage that the wives of the teachers have suitable training. The addition of two Kimpese men has greatly strengthened the staff. Besides considerable gardening Mr. Hall had the boys set out 150 citrus trees last year and the same number this year; also sent out trees to 150 villages, and has 650 of nursery size growing. Both Mr. Brown and Mr. Hall have given time to the new brick church which is in process of building and which they hope to dedicate in March 1933. BELGIAN CONGO MISSION 113

Moanza The many accessions by baptism have been mentioned elsewhere; many new villages have received teachers; a still greater number have requested them but they could not be furnished. Rev. and Mrs. T. E. Bubeck and Rev. and Mrs. H. A. Sodergren have devoted themselves to the evangelistic and educa­ tional work.

Kikongo In speaking of the work at Kikongo we cannot do better than quote some extracts from Rev. B. I. Armstrong’s report: “It is only the lack of teachers, trained and untrained, that keeps us from making an extensive advance in every direction of the compass. One chief said plaintively when he asked for a teacher and was told to wait, ‘But I have already been waiting and asking for two years.’ Three medal chiefs asked for enough teachers to put into every village in the chefferies. One large tribe, the Bayanzi, has seemed hostile, or at least indifferent, till now. Within the past few months we have received numerous requests from them for Christian teachers. . . . From the beginning we have made the schools real church schools, so that the Christians may feel that the schools belong to them, and also that they are responsible for the support of the schools. Naturally, native contributions have fallen off very considerably during the year, yet the teachers are continuing the work, accept­ ing as their salary only that which comes in through the churches instead of having a salary guaranteed by the missionaries, as in the past. . . . There has been what seems to be an organized effort on the part of the Jesuit priests to place their teachers in all villages that have Protestant teachers. In many cases their strategem has succeeded. The medical work has shown a great increase since the return of Mrs. Smith. . . . The hospital wards (grass and stick buildings like the others on the station) are filled to overflowing all the time. A well-attended baby clinic is held regularly. “In December we received a letter from a high government official, giving us just one year’s time in which to return the land to the natives. W e shall appeal to the Governor General and believe there is good prospect of securing justice. We cannot believe that this order will be carried into effect, leaving two thousand church members (mostly new converts), as many more inquirers, and four thousand pupils in church schools, without the help of missionaries.”

Tondo Rev. and Mrs. H. D. Brown returned from furlough in August; Mr. Rodgers has had charge of the out-post work for the.major portion of the year; Mr. Metzger and Mr. Brown were engaged in the educational work on the station and evangelistic work in the district; Dr. and Airs. Westcott gave their atten­ tion to the medical work. The Tondo staff have reorganized their educational work on the station, consisting of Boarding School, Training School for teachers, and a school for the village children. EUROPE Reported by W . O. Lewis CONOMIC conditions in Europe have grown worse instead of better. There is unrest and uncertainty everywhere. Much of the progress E that had been made in overcoming the effects of the War has been lost. When the nations around Germany note that newspapers unfavorable to the new regime are suppressed, when they observe how great men who have sought to promote better relations between Germany and her neighbors are shut up in prison camps as dangerous pacifists, and when they see how the Jews are being treated, they begin to ask what Germany will do with the equality of status which she has demanded and which the other nations have declared their willingness to grant. It is to be hoped that good sense inside and outside of Germany may prevail and that the present situation may prove to be only a passing phase.

France and Belgium At the annual meeting in May 1932, the centenary of cooperation with our Society was duly celebrated. The economic depression has been hard on churches just reaching self-support. French Baptists have mourned the death of Paul Besson who died in Buenos Aires, December 30, 1932. He worked as a young man in Northern France until 1881 when he went to South America. Few men have ever done a greater work than he was enabled to do for our cause in Argentina.

Germany The Seminary in Hamburg which our Society aids in a small way has been able to keep going though with reduced staff. Only a small number of students are received each year. During the winter the Seminary was closed several weeks in order to save money. It is too early to predict the effect of the Hitler regime on religion in Germany.

The Scandinavian Countries During the past year there has been a revival in Norway and a large in­ gathering of new members. Rev. J. A. Ohrn has been sorely tried. His wife passed away last year and^he has not been well. He has been a tower of strength to our work in Norway. Bredahl Petersen, after finishing his course in Rochester, has returned to Denmark and is now doing good work as pastor in Copenhagen.

The Baltic States Many of our pastors in Estonia have suffered on account of the crisis, but in several churches there has been an awakening. Estonian Baptists cele­ 114 EUROPE 115 brated in February 1933 the fiftieth anniversary of the beginning of the work. Adam Podin was not in good health part of the year. While Secretary J. H. Franklin was in Riga last summer Lettish Bap­ tists laid the corner-stone of a large building which is to serve as headquar­ ters of the Lettish Baptist Union, as a bookstore, as a seminary, and as a church. The walls are now up and the roof is on, but work on the building is slowed down for the lack of money. Dr. J. A. Frey is no longer able to take an active part in the work. After John Inkenas returned to Lithuania from Newton, Rev. T. Gerikas arranged to live in Kovno, the present capital of the country. A beginning has been made in developing a Lithuanian church in Kovno. There has been a German-speaking church in Kovno for forty-four years. Poland The church in Warsaw is now using the new chapel, made out of a carpenter shop which was on the lot purchased for the church. Our people still have no legal status in southeastern Poland. Our children in Galicia are often punished in the public schools for refusing to take the religious instruction given by the priests. Our Slavic Union in Poland had a greater net increase than last year because fewer Baptists emigrated to other countries. During 1932, 644 new members were baptized.

Czechoslovakia The economic distress is keenly felt by our churches and pastors in Czecho­ slovakia. It looks as if we shall lose the publication society in Bratislava on account of the impossibility of collecting certain sums due the society and of certain mistakes in the management in the past. A new group of students was received into the Seminary in Prague.

Russia It is still very difficult to communicate with our brethren in Russia. W e know something about what is going on, but we do not get enough reliable information to give us a complete picture. All reports agree that famine con­ ditions prevail in several districts. The new thing in the situation is that the country is about as short of food as the city. And there is every reason to believe that the Soviet Government has increased its efforts to destroy all religion. The Moscow correspondent of the Manchester Guardian, a paper not un­ friendly to Russia, said early in 1933 that the Soviets are not content in their fight against religion to resort to anti-religious propaganda but actively per­ secute all religion. Usually some other reason is given for the penalties and disabilities inflicted, but no active religious leader can continue to be active and exist. He is deprived of work and bread and often banished or impris­ oned. No Christian, no Jew who is religious, no Mohammedan can be a member of the Communist party. More churches have been closed during the year. But the troubles we are having in Russia may after all help our 116 AMERICAN BAPTIST FOREIGN MISSION SOCIETY cause. The Manchester Guardian correspondent says: “ Persecution and hard times are notorious helpers of religion; anti-religious propaganda is an­ other as powerful. All three have been in evidence in Russia in recent years. Nowadays even young Communists are said sometimes to go furtively to church if only to hear the singing, which provides an agreeable change after the raucous songs about solidarity and electrification whereby they are or­ dinarily expected to show their high spirits and party enthusiasm.” FINANCIAL REVIEW OF THE YEAR

FINANCIAL REVIEW OF THE YEAR

HE fiscal year of the American Baptist Foreign Mission Society which closed on April 30, 1933 has been one of the most difficult and perplexing T which the Board of Managers has experienced in a long period. The economic depression which had greatly accentuated the downward trend of previous years in contributions from churches and individuals became more severe as the year progressed and reached a crisis at the end of February only two months before the close of the year. A vigorous rally on the part of the churches in the last two weeks of April lessened only slightly the magnitude of the shrinkage. The effects of the general financial situation were reflected also to a greater degree than before in the income of the Society from sources outside donations. The disappointing outcome of the preceding year and the continuance of unfavorable indications in the new year made necessary a drastic reduction of the budget of the Society. This action, together with extraordi­ nary advantages derived from the maintenance through the year of a notably high exchange value for the United States dollar as compared with the local currencies in India, China and Japan, enabled the Society to come through the year without actual disaster or a burdensome deficit.

Summary of Financial Outcome At May 1, 1932, the Board reported an accumulated deficiency of income of $37,274.35. Net adjustments in the budgets of previous years reduced this amount to $5,339.65. Savings on account of exchange also available in previous budgets amounting to $65,555.08 transposed the deficiency into an excess of $60,215.43. The total receipts for the year 1932-33 were $1,262,- 059.78. The total appropriations and expenditures were $1,318,141.83. In­ cluded in each of these figures is the sum of $102,866.57 representing specific donations and appropriations from Designated Temporary Funds which are outside the regular budget. The actual deficiency on the regular operating budget, therefore, was $56,082.05. Transferring this amount to the deficiency of income account and applying it to the surplus as noted above leaves a net excess of income at April 30, 1933 of $4,133.38. This result, in the judgment of the Board is an occasion for profound gratitude though it should be clearly recognized that it represents a very seriously decreased provision for the work of the missions.

Analysis of Receipts The total receipts for the regular budget for the year amounted to $1,159,- 193.21 as compared with $1,355,198.44 in the preceding year, a shrinkage of $196,005.23 or 14.5 per cent. Incom« from sources outside donations was $614,964.02 as compared with $668,539.59 in 1931-32. The principal decreases 119 120 AMERICAN BAPTIST FOREIGN MISSION SOCIETY

were $18,353.06 in income from funds, $25,000.00 in income from matured annuities, and $10,000.00 in income from legacies. The total income from funds available for the regular budget was $425,670.25. The largest income ever reported from this source was $477,338.02 in 1930-31. There is reason for satisfaction in the fact that the total shrinkage of this item during two years of the greatest financial stress that the country has known is little over 10 per cent. Nearly all of this shrinkage was in two funds held chiefly in securities given to the Society by the donors of the funds. Further comment on these funds and the securities in which they are invested will be found in a later section of the report. The decrease in income from matured annuities was due to the fact that the depleted condition of the Reserve for Equalization of Income from Matured Annuities made it impossible to repeat the special transfer of $30,000.00 which was made in 1931-32 although an increase of $5,000.00 was made in the amount regularly transferred from this Reserve. The decrease in income from legacies was also due to a gradual depletion of the Reserve for Equalization of Income from Legacies and to the fact that the average total of legacies received has been declining in recent years.

Donations By far the greater part of the decrease in receipts for the year was in dona­ tions from churches and individuals. Total donations for the year amounted to $544,229.19 as compared with $686,658.85 in 1931-32, a decrease of $142,- 429.66 or 20.7 per cent. This represents a considerably larger shrinkage than in the preceding year and reduces the total receipts of the Society from these sources to a lower figure than in any preceding year since 1906-07. The total shrinkage in donation receipts during the five years since 1927-28 has been $411,625.69 or 43 per cent. It is a significant fact that contributions specially designated for the work of the Society, including $29,733.63 sent directly to the Treasury, amounted to $163,976.54 as compared with $174,191.73 in the preceding year, or a loss of only 5.86 per cent while the decrease in undesig­ nated receipts was 25.79 per cent. These figures are eloquent testimony to the value of cultivating and maintaining a direct interest on the part of donors in the work abroad and particularly in the work of individual missionaries or missionary projects. The following table shows the trend of receipts for the regular budget for the past six years.

It would seem that such conditions call for drastic remedies vigorously applied.

Appropriations and Expenditures The total appropriations and expenditures for regular budget purposes dur­ ing the year were $1,215,275.26 as compared with $1,444,797.34 in the year 1931-32. Of this decrease of $229,522.08 within a single year, $74,455.49 is found in the appropriations for missionary salaries. Voluntary refunds of salary by the missionaries yielded $27,914.50 of the saving. The remainder for the most part resulted from a decrease in the number of missionaries on the active staff. Another large decrease was in the provision for new appointees. In 1931-32 the sum of $34,892.96 was appropriated for the sending of 12 new missionary appointees to the field. In 1932-33 only $12,758.28 was appropri­ ated for 5 new missionaries. Passages of missionaries in 1932-33 required only $43,012.87 as compared with $111,549.17 in the preceding year. The number of missionaries normally due to take furlough or to return to their fields was less than usual this past year and in addition several missionaries were asked to remain at home and others were asked to remain on the field for another year of service in an effort to make the necessary reductions in budget expenditures. Appropriations for the work of missionaries and native agen­ cies were reduced 10 per cent, making a further saving of approximately $35,000.00. Expenditures for home administration were reduced from $167,- 172.77 in 1931-32 to $150,126.89 in the year just closed. A substantial item in this saving was the voluntary contribution to the Society of $4,910.04 on the part of the executive officers as a refund of salary. It is a significant fact that during this very difficult year the Society was not obliged to borrow money at the bank and hence has made no expenditures for interest. This was made possible through advance payments during the earlier part of the year of the sums provided in the budget from the legacy and matured annuity reserves.

Spending Budget and Actual Expenditures The budget for 1932-33 as authorized in January 1932 amounted to $1,414,- 984.00. This amount was based upon income from sources outside donations of $613,000.00 and $801,984.00 from donations, the latter figure representing 80 per cent of the approved expectancy from donations. In May, in the light of the unfavorable outcome of the preceding year and the advice of the Finance Committee of the Convention, the expectancy from donations was reduced to $651,612.00 and the total spending budget reduced to $1,264,612.00. This reduction of $150,372.00 necessitated drastic readjustments in appropriations which had already been announced to the mission fields. These readjustments were outlined by the Board on May 23-24, 1932. The missions cooperated most loyally and sacrificially notwithstanding the fact that their year had begun on May 1 and they had already planned their work for the year on the basis of the larger appropriations already announced. As a safeguard against further decrease in income during the year a Contirigent Fund of $37,502.33 was reserved from appropriation in the readjustment of the budget. Further­ 122 AMERICAN BAPTIST FOREIGN MISSION SOCIETY more, the utmost care was exercised throughout the year to avoid any new appropriations and to avoid any unnecessary expenditures. The extraordinary shrinkage in receipts referred to above would seem to have justified this very conservative procedure. Had the full budget, even at the reduced figure authorized in May, been expended, the deficit for the year would have been over $100,000.00 instead of the $56,082.05 reported.

Savings in Exchange An important and very uncertain factor in planning every foreign mission budget, particularly in times of international financial confusion such as exists at present, is the rate of exchange between the United States dollar, in which the accounts of the Society are kept, and the local currency in which nearly all of the appropriations must be paid. The salaries of missionaries are appropri­ ated in United States dollars, but the missionary receives from the Mission Treasurer local currency paid at certain established rates of exchange. When the cost of the local currency falls below a certain exchange value commonly recognized as par there is a gain or saving in exchange, which during the past year has been divided between the missionaries and the Society according to a stated plan. Appropriations for mission work and care of property, on the other hand, are made in all missions but one in local currency and have to be converted into United States dollars for the Society’s accounts. If a con­ version rate is chosen which is higher than the rate of exchange actually prevailing during the year the accounts of the Society will show a loss; if the conversion rate is lower than the rate actually prevailing the accounts will show a gain. The rates adopted for conversion are naturally calculated on a conservative basis in order to avoid, if possible, overestimating the gains to be secured on account of exchange. During the past year exchange rates in India, China and Japan have been exceedingly favorable to the Society, con­ tinuing the very advantageous situation described in the report of last year. As a result of this condition and of the conservative procedure already indi­ cated the Board is able to report quite a substantial gain or saving from ex­ change in excess of the estimated amounts, both for 1931-32 and for 1932-33. Accounts of the Mission Treasurers for 1931-32, especially for the last three months of the year, which were not in hand at the closing of the books on April 30,1932, yielded a saving in exchange of $65,555.08 in addition to the $48,000.00 entered in the accounts of that year. In the year just closed savings of approxi­ mately $50,000.00 including $30,000.00 due to an adjusted conversion rate were included in the budget estimates and have been credited in the accounts. There are further savings of some $48,000.00 shown in the reports of the Mission Treasurers on the field for the first half of the year. These latter savings are being held as a reserve against an almost certain loss in the exchange account for the year which began May 1, 1933. In the budget for 1933-34 estimated exchange savings, calculated at what appeared in January to be a fairly con­ servative rate, were included to a total amount of approximately $120,000.00. The acute financial crisis which developed in this country in March and which was followed by the departure of America from the gold standard has already FINANCIAL REVIEW OF THE YEAR 123

reduced the value of the United States dollar in terms of the local currency in India, China and Japan to such a degree that the margin of safety which was counted upon has disappeared and it now seems very probable that a consider­ able portion of the estimated savings will not be realized. Should the local currency go back to recognized par value in terms of the United States dollar the entire estimated savings of $120,000.00 would be wiped out. The Board has deemed it necessary, therefore, to reserve all savings in ex­ change in the year 1932-33, in excess of the amount estimated in the bud­ get, as a fund from which to make good the losses now anticipated in 1933-34. Those who recall the international financial situation that existed in the closing years of the war and the years immediately following will remember that exchange was very much against the United States dollar for a prolonged period. During that time it cost the Society much more than the normal amount to pay the salaries of the missionaries and to provide the appropria­ tions for mission work. In the report of the Treasurer in 1922 there appears a discussion of the losses sustained by the Society on account of unfavorable exchange during the five years 1917 to 1921. It was stated that the net cost to the Society for that period was $459,268.43. Conditions during the past two or three years have been such as to reverse this situation and the Society has been able to make savings equal to a considerable portion of those heavy losses. Indeed, had it not been for the favorable exchange rates and the resultant savings in appropriations during the last three years it is doubtful whether the Society could have maintained its work on anything like the present basis without incurring very heavy indebtedness. The favorable posi­ tion of the United States dollar has already been lost in substantial measure and it now seems probable that large savings in exchange cannot be continued. These facts will make readily apparent how serious a problem international exchange may become in the financial administration of a foreign mission society.

Specifics Specifics are becoming a less important factor in the work of the Society. Specific donations received during the past year amounted to $27,361.34 as compared with $27,201.43 in 1931-32. Five years ago in 1927-28 they amounted to $96,507.08. Transfers from Designated Temporary Funds, which are passed through the specific budget, amounted to $75,505.23 during the past year. The total specific budget of $102,866.57 was distributed as follows: Land, Buildings and Equipment, $68,286.05; General Work, $35,536.09; Miscellaneous, $44.43.

Judson Fund There has been little change in the status of the Judson Fund. Some pay­ ments have come in on account of pledges toward the support of missionaries which have still a year or two to run but the total amount received during the year was only $7,671.00. The total of pledges reported was $1,068,645.49 and 124 AMERICAN BAPTIST FOREIGN MISSION SOCIETY

the total amount received to April 30, 1933 on account of pledges has been $938,348.71.

Legacies and Matured Annuities Legacies actually received during the year have been insufficient to meet the amount anticipated in the budget and the Reserve for Equalization of Income from Legacies has been reduced from $130,603.73 at the beginning of the year to $107,340.47 at April 30, 1933. The total of legacies received was $90,115.82 but $16,857.74 of this amount was designated for permanent funds or other specific purposes. Only $73,258.08 was available for budget uses whereas the amount transferred to the budget was $100,000.00. The amount received during the year, however, was nearly $20,000.00 in excess of the total for 1931-32. Notable among the legacies received was one of $30,000.00 from the estate of the late William Colgate of New York and $9,266.82 from the estate of the late George H. Olmsted of Cleveland, Ohio. Settlement of many es­ tates has been delayed because of complications arising out of the financial crisis. The great shrinkage of the value of property and investments has so reduced the value of many estates that in many cases where the testator had drawn the will in the expectation that there would be a large residuary estate even the specific bequests can not be paid in full. Under these conditions it is hardly to be expected that receipts from legacies will be as large in the immediate future as in the past few years. Annuity agreements matured during the year have amounted to $177,965.66. This unusual total is due to the fact that one annuitant who passed away during the year held agreements with the Society representing $170,00.00 which when matured in December 1932 yielded a net remaining principal of $136,911.94. Forty-three other agreements were matured yielding $41,053.72. Of the total thus matured $9,888.81 was designated for the establishment of permanent funds. The Board on recommendation of its Finance Committee set aside $75,000.00 of the one exceptionally large amount matured as a reserve for possible losses on investments. This step was taken as a measure of added protection to the reserve and security for the remaining annuitants in view of the decrease in market value which even the highest grade investments have suffered during the past three years. The remainder of the large maturity was added to the Reserve for Equalization of Income from Matured Annuities with the provision that it will be transferred to the regular budget income over a period of three years in special additions to the regular transfers from the Reserve. The amount to be so transferred in 1933-34 has been fixed at $30,000.00. Including the balance of this large maturity the Reserve amounted to $86,645.10 at April 30,1933. The year has seen a substantial increase in new annuity agreements issued. Sixty-two new agreements have been issued for a total of $110,662.62 as compared with $66,067.44 in 1931-32. Thirty of the new agreements were issued to individuals who had previously made gifts to the Society upon this plan. Correspondence with these and with other friends who have not had experience with the annuity agreements issued by the Society indicate a FINANCIAL REVIEW OF THE YEAR 125 marked degree of satisfaction and confidence in view of the conservative policy pursued as to reserves and investments which assures a high degree of safety to the annuitant as well as a high percentage of actual benefit to the work of the Society upon the maturity of the agreements. The average net remaining principal realized on all agreements matured during the year was 72.69 per cent of the original gift. The rate of income earned on the investments cover­ ing the Reserve for General Annuity Agreements was 4.81 per cent as com­ pared with 4.80 per cent in 1931-32. This fact of itself indicates the high character of these investments. Further evidence of their strength is seen in the fact that the market value of all annuity investments on April 30, 1933 was 84.65 per cent of the book value compared with a percentage of 84.82 per cent one year ago. On account of the large maturity referred to above the total amount remaining in the reserve for general annuity agreements is substanti­ ally lower than on May 1, 1932 and now stands at $1,468,960.49.

Permanent Funds The permanent funds of the Society at April 30, 1933 amounted to $7,705,- 478.22 as compared with $7,676,680.97 on April 30, 1932. Total additions during the year were $42,342.15 and decreases were $13,544.90, a net increase of $28,617.25. Among the additions were the following new funds :

During the year the Finance Committee and its Subcommittee on Invest­ ments have given a great deal of attention to the securities held by the Society as investments of its permanent, temporary, and annuity funds. The Sub­ committee has held six evening meetings and has reviewed at these meetings and in correspondence some 255 securities, some being considered repeatedly. Reports are made at meetings of the Finance Committee which are held in connection with each meeting of the Board. Many changes in investments have been made. Securities no longer regarded as suitable were sold when this could be done without too great loss. Reinvestments were made in the highest grade securities. The net result of sales of securities during the year is as follows: 126 AMERICAN BAPTIST FOREIGN MISSION SOCIETY

U nrestricted A n n u i t y R estricted F u n d s F u n d s F u n d s Profits ...... $3,737.93 $ 783.50 $40,016.80 Losses ...... 2,109.95 8,473.00 25,485.05

Net P ro fit...... $1,627.98 $14,531.75 Net Loss ...... $7,689.50

The losses indicated for the most part have been absorbed in reserves set up for that purpose chiefly from net profits on the sale of investments. In one case only has there been any material loss in the fund itself and that was a fund which was restricted to investments legal for trust funds. This fund was reduced from $112,300.67 to $104,500.00 through the sale of one investment which had greatly depreciated in value although of high grade when purchased. The rate of income earned on Unrestricted Funds was 4.82 per cent as com­ pared with 4.85 per cent in 1931-32, a very satisfactory showing in the face of conditions prevailing during the year. The market value of unrestricted in­ vestments at April 30 was 86.16 per cent of their cost or book value as compared with 87.18 per cent a year ago, and the market value of the restricted invest­ ments was 92.13 per cent of the book value as compared with 87.17 per cent in the previous year. The recent developments in the mortgage situation in New York City have made it necessary for the Investment Committee to give special consideration to the investments of the Society in this type of security. The Society holds first mortgages to a total of $1,169,649.49, nearly the entire amount being in individual mortgages on improved real estate in and near New York and guaranteed by long-established title and mortgage companies. A detailed and careful review of all these mortgages indicates that with a very few exceptions they are in excellent condition and give little occasion for concern either as to security or as to income. It will be necessary, however, for the Investment Committee in the future to give much more direct super­ vision to these mortgages.

Designated Temporary Funds Under this classification the Society holds a large number of funds mostly of small amount, the principal of which has been designated either by the donor or by the Board itself for some particular object but which is not re­ quired for immediate use. Releases are made from time to time as the need arises. During the last three or four years a considerable portion of these funds has represented gifts received through the Judson Fund Campaign. The total amount of such funds reported at April 30, 1933 was $381,652.31, a net decrease of $63,577.58 during the year. The funds are classified as follows: Land, Buildings, and Equipment, $240,572.08; Mission Work, $11,189.96; Support of Missionaries, $224.62; Other Objects, $129,665.65. These funds are kept in temporary investments and there is a small reserve from profits on the sale of investments amounting to $402.12. Projects financed through these funds are usually outside the regular budget of the Society. Full details FINANCIAL REVIEW OF THE YEAR 127 respecting these and other funds as well as a complete list of securities will be found in various schedules of the Report of the Treasurer.

Budget for 1933-34 While this report covers the year ended April 30, 1933 much attention was given, particularly in the latter months of the year, to the budget for the year which begins on May 1. It is customary for the Board to authorize a spend­ ing budget in January in order that notice of the appropriations may reach the field in time for distribution by the local committees prior to May 1. It is always difficult four months before the close of the fiscal year to forecast the financial outcome and the probable resources for the next year. The Board endeavors to be conservative, too much so it may sometimes be felt, in the build­ ing of this budget but both this year and last unforeseen developments in the financial world between January and May have so changed the prospect that it has been found necessary to make large reductions in the budget already no­ tified to the fields. The budget adopted in January 1933 was based upon esti­ mated income from sources outside donations of $579,000.00 and $551,364.00 in donations, or a total of $1,130,364.00. These figures involved a reduction of over $130,000.00 from the revised budget of last year which amounted to $1,264,612.00 based upon $651,612.00, income from donations and $613,000.00, income from outside donations. As the year closed it became evident that the estimate of income was still beyond reasonable probability and that a further reduction of approximately $50,000.00 in the budget would be necessary. The very serious nature of these successive reductions will be seen by com­ paring the final budget total of $1,078,002.00 for 1933-34 with the total actually expended during 1930-31 or $1,509,320.25. This is a decrease of practically one-third in the brief period of three years. The most striking effect of the decrease is seen in the rapid depletion of the missionary force. The number of missionary units provided for in the budget for the year beginning May 1, 1933 is only 240 as compared with 257 in 1930-31, 313 in 1922-23, and 285 in 1913-14. Provisions for missionary reenforcement has steadily de­ creased and appropriation for only one new missionary family is included in the new budget. Appropriations for the work of missionaries and native agencies have been notably decreased and provision for land, buildings, and equipment entirely eliminated except as a limited number of projects can be met through specifics contributed for this purpose. The total expenditures on account of the regular budget are now reduced to a figure comparable with those of 1915-16 although in the meantime the annual receipts of the Society from non-donation sources have been increased by nearly $300,000.00.

FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES OF FOREIGN MISSION POLICY T h e following statement of Fundamental Princi­ ples of Foreign Mission Policy was adopted by the Boards of Managers of the American Baptist Foreign Mission Society and the Woman’s American Baptist Foreign Mission Society after a careful study of the Principal Conclusions in which the Commission of Appraisal of the Laymen’s Foreign Missions Inquiry summarized the results of their investigations. These conclusions were examined in the light of the policies of the Boards as formulated and published in 1928 and in the light of more general pronouncements such as the Findings of the International Missionary Council in Jerusalem in 1928 and in Herrnhut in 1932. FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES OF FOREIGN MISSION POLICY

I. The Continuance of Missions The foreign missionary enterprise of the Christian church must continue. The church has been endowed by its Founder and Lord with a gospel of forgiveness, peace and a new life and has been commissioned to transmit that gospel to all the world. The church, therefore, has no alternative but to persist in its effort to communicate this good news to all men unto the uttermost parts of the earth. The program and the methods of the enterprise will change considerably. They have undergone many changes in the past one hundred years and especially in recent times. Changes in attitude, in approach, in relationships, in emphases, in type and preparation of personnel, may be necessary and will be made as rapidly as seems consistent with the surest progress of the work and with available resources. The fundamental purpose and the essence of the message do not change. These are the continuing elements of the enterprise.

II. The Aim of Missions The aim of the Christian missionary enterprise is to lead men everywhere to know, love and serve God and to love and serve their fellowmen. This is to be accomplished by persuading them to accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour, who in His life, death and resurrection is the perfect revelation of the Father, and to become His devoted disciples. The result of such discipleship will be a transformation of their own inner life and a transforma­ tion of all their social relationships. The aim of missions includes the establishment of Christian churches which shall be free to develop according to their own interpretation of the New Testa­ ment, and which will continue to propagate the teachings of Jesus Christ in accordance with their own national genius, and from which will issue recreative forces transforming the religious, moral, social and industrial life of the people. 233 234 AMERICAN BAPTIST FOREIGN MISSION SOCIETY

III. The Scope of Missions A wise, sympathetic and effective evangelism lies at the center of the scope and method of the missionary enterprise, an evangel­ ism which consists in a contagious living of the message of the gospel and in a persuasive preaching of it, an evangelism which will seek to reach and regenerate every aspect of individual and social life until the Kingdom of God is realized. Collateral objectives of the missionary enterprise are 1. Dissemination of Christian education by means of schools for producing trained Christian leaders and an educated con­ stituency and for bringing to bear the influences of a Christian education upon non-Christian students who may attend the schools. 2. The calling forth and training of leaders who shall come out of the Christian constituency and shall lead that constit­ uency in its organization and activities to a point where it shall be completely self-governing, self-supporting and self- propagating. 3. Ministry in the spirit of Christ to the physical ills of Christian and non-Christian people through medical science, hospitals and dispensaries, through cooperation in eleemosy­ nary institutions, such as asylums for the blind, for lepers, for the tubercular, etc., and through public health education. 4. Development of economic self-reliance and independence on the part of the Christian constituency by means of voca­ tional training in industrial schools and agricultural schools and in various forms of practical service in rural, village and city communities. 5. Permeation of the national life by a Christian conception of social, industrial, international and interracial relationships.

Educational and medical institutions established in pursuit of these collateral objectives should be of high professional quality and should be so conducted as to contribute to the primary evangelistic and character-building aim of the missionary enterprise. The Boards firmly believe in the voluntariness of religion, that no person should ever be compelled to perform any religious act, that forced religion is not religion in any real sense, that true PRINCIPLES OF FOREIGN MISSION POLICY 235 religion is always the glad and willing response of the inner spirit to the love and call of God.

IV- The Attitude of Missions and Missionaries Toward Other Faiths Missionaries in their endeavor to commend the unique and universal message of Christ should seek to know and understand the non-Christian systems of religion but should present their own Christian message in positive form. While gladly recognizing and using the elements of truth that exist in other religions, Chris­ tianity cannot compromise with aspects and practices of those religions which, especially in the case of animistic faiths and the degraded forms and errors of the more highly organized religions, lead men away from God and from his ideal for the life of the in­ dividual and for society. Whenever opportunity offers, mission­ aries and Christian churches may well cooperate with the ad­ herents of other religious faiths in movements for social and industrial reform, in combating the secularizing and materializing tendencies of the age and in efforts to promote international and interracial understanding and goodwill.

V. The Men and Women in Missions The permanent success of the missionary enterprise depends upon the quality and devotion of its personnel. The task of the missionary is increasingly difficult and demands high standards of character and training in those who undertake it. Essential qualifications for missionary service under present conditions in the Orient are: a vital experience of the saving grace of God through Jesus Christ, an intelligent understanding of the Chris­ tian message based on the fundamental teachings of the New Testament, a desire to lead men of all nations into fellowship with Christ, a capacity to understand the thought life of the people and to love and sympathize with them, an attractive personality, thorough training for the specific task including ability to master the language medium through which the work must be done, a cooperative spirit especially in relations with other races, an earnest determination to exemplify the message in personal life. The Boards recognize that for the securing and maintenance of a staff adequate to the task it is important to emphasize: an even 236 AMERICAN BAPTIST FOREIGN MISSION SOCIETY

more united and compelling approach to the student classes from which most of the recruits for missionary service must be secured; an even more careful selection of missionary candidates; an even more carefully planned training with a view to specific tasks; an even better adaptation of each individual to the field and task for which he is best fitted; provision of orientation opportunities for new missionaries and of facilities for continued cultural de­ velopment for older missionaries; maintenance of a happy and helpful relationship between the missionary and the nationals among whom he serves.

VI. Permeative Influence and the Wider Christian Fellowship Christian churches in the beginning were established through the agency of the Holy Spirit and have been shown by the test of experience from New Testament times to be the most effective medium for cultivation and transmission of Christian life. As such, they should continue to occupy a central place in the Christian missionary enterprise. The Christian churches now found in the Orient, notwithstanding their acknowledged weak­ nesses and defects, have given evidence of possessing that life and power which were manifest in the churches pictured in the New Testament and which will as they develop in these younger churches in the Orient enable the Christian religion not alone to persist in the midst of age-old civilizations but ultimately to transform them according to the ideals of the Kingdom of God. Ideals cherished for these churches include an enthusiastic and contagious devotion to Christ, breadth of view, a cooperative spirit, a sense of social obligation, and firm rootage in the na­ tional soil. Parallel with the establishment and growth of these Christian churches there exists an opportunity, with a concur­ rent obligation, to cultivate a wider fellowship with the increasing numbers in non-Christian lands who accept and follow the Chris­ tian life and ideals even though they are not yet ready formally to identify themselves with organized Christian churches.

VII. Concentration of Effort For more than twenty years the Boards have been pursuing a policy of intensive rather than extensive development. This period affords numerous examples of refraining from entering PRINCIPLES OF FOREIGN MISSION POLICY 237 needy and inviting fields, of actual withdrawal from occupied areas, of concentration of personnel and resources and of closing stations and institutions. Even the temporarily increased re­ sources from 1919 to 1922 were employed not for expansion into new fields or for the establishment of new institutions but for the building up of the missionary staff, for the strengthening of existing and essential institutions, for much needed material equipment and for increasing the effectiveness of missionaries and national agencies. The steady decline in receipts in the past few years has nullified much of the advance made in these directions so that the work in many of the fields again gives the impression of a line too far extended and too weakly held. The Boards from sheer necessity are facing again the problems of readjustment. Recognizing the tremendous pressure to which the field agencies are subjected by the very proximity of vast unmet needs the Boards are undertaking a first-hand study of the possibility of concentration upon those projects which are most vital to the program in each field. Any successful solution of these problems will require the cordial cooperation of the field agencies, missionary and national, both in the formulation of plans and in the execution of decisions. The Boards point out that, notwithstanding all that may be said in behalf of the policy of concentration, the fact cannot be ignored that there are great areas, geographical, racial and social, where the message of Christ has not been proclaimed or exem­ plified. The church has not adequately fulfilled its responsibility until it has occupied these unreached areas.

Vm. Transition from Temporary to Permanent Character of the Mission The Boards have long held the conception that the place and function of the organized mission are temporary. “The mission­ ary body is a scaffolding; the native body is the edifice; the glory of the scaffolding is attained when the hour for its removal is reached.” That “hour” is much nearer than when these words were written by Foreign Secretary Thomas S. Barbour in 1909. In recent years there has come more clearly into view the possi­ bility of a continuing contribution of the older churches of the West to the younger churches of the East and a reciprocal service 238 AMERICAN BAPTIST FOREIGN MISSION SOCIETY to be rendered increasingly by the churches of the East to their sister churches in the West. The missionaries who shall repre­ sent the Western churches in this relationship of the future may well be termed “ambassadors,” a title which many missionaries of the present and of past generations have borne with honor. The transition from the temporary to the permanent function of the mission should not be abrupt. It cannot proceed with equal rapidity in all mission fields. Local conditions, such as the meas­ ure of development attained by the churches, the number and quality of national leaders available, the possession of institutions adapted to the needs of the Christian community, will necessarily determine the place and function of the mission in each field and the degree to which the older type of service can be decreased and the newer type emphasized.

IX. Transfer of Responsibility—Devolution That the administration of Christian work, including the work of the organized missions from America, should be transferred to the indigenous churches as rapidly as they are able to discharge the obligations so incurred, is a cardinal element in the policy of the two Foreign Mission Boards. In the twenty-five years since 1908 marked progress has been made in nearly all of the fields in the preparation of the churches and leaders for the exercise of administrative responsibility, in the creation of joint and purely national administrative agencies, and in the actual transfer of responsibility for the conduct of a large part of the work formerly directed wholly by the missions to these agencies in which representatives of the indigenous churches have a controlling voice. Among the responsibilities now being effectively discharged by national or joint administrative groups in some fields are: desig­ nation and transfer of missionaries; request for return of mission­ aries to the field after furlough; distribution of appropriations made by the Boards for the work of native agencies, institutions and missionaries; direction of evangelistic work and oversight of churches; control and administration of schools and hospitals. The Boards in declaring their readiness to promote the transfer of responsibility to national groups have further stated as their policy that the ownership of church, school and hospital buildings PRINCIPLES OF FOREIGN MISSION POLICY 239 erected on the mission field with funds appropriated in whole or in part by the Boards shall ultimately be transferred to the in­ digenous Christian community on conditions mutually to be agreed upon as respects time of transfer and safeguards as to future use. The Boards are constantly in correspondence with the missions and with the national agencies regarding the appli­ cation and extension of these policies to the actual conduct of the work. It is their purpose to emphasize increasingly, especially in the less advanced fields, the importance of developing leadership among the nationals and the necessity for planning with a view to transferring to national agencies as rapidly as possible increas­ ing responsibility for the conduct of the Christian enterprise in their own lands.

X. Administrative Unity and Cooperation The Boards have given abundant evidence both in declarations of policy and by specific action of their readiness to cooperate with other missionary agencies with a view to eliminating compe­ tition and duplication of effort and to securing greater effective­ ness by coordination of programs and concentration of personnel and resources. They record anew their hearty sympathy with the principle of cooperation with other evangelical missionary agencies wherever such cooperation will yield more satisfactory results, make possible a more effective use of financial resources and personnel, and contribute to the presentation to the non- Christian peoples of the essential unity of the several bodies of disciples of Jesus Christ, provided such cooperation does not in­ volve sacrifice of fundamental principles cherished by the Baptist churches to which the Boards are directly responsible. They are persuaded that the increasing strength and activity of the forces which oppose the progress of Christianity in the present genera­ tion offer a challenge to the whole Christian church and to its missionary agencies in particular which can only be met by a far more united and concentrated effort under the guidance of the Lord Jesus Christ than has been possible heretofore in the mission­ ary enterprise. While recognizing that Baptist churches in the Orient, as in America, are independent and free to determine for themselves the relationship they will sustain to other Christian bodies, the Boards are prepared to encourage these churches to 240 AMERICAN BAPTIST FOREIGN MISSION SOCIETY

enter into friendly and cooperative relations with other churches though they do not advise their missionaries to encourage organic church union. The Boards have considered the question of the creation of a unified central administrative agency at the home base with similar unified directive agencies on each of the several fields whose function it would be to oversee and direct all of the foreign missionary work of such boards as were prepared to enter into this unified form of administration. While recognizing the genuine advantages to be gained from such a pooling of the widest knowl­ edge and the best judgment available for the planning of the Christian missionary enterprise, the Boards believe that the plan proposed would require a surrender of control and direct relation­ ship on the part of the denominational agencies which would not be countenanced by their respective churches and constituencies. They are not convinced that the plan of placing the responsibility for directing the work in one group, however exceptionally qual­ ified, and of laying on a different group the burden of interpreta­ tion and securing support will secure the best results. The Boards are prepared, pending the further study both in the Baptist and in other denominations of the general principles and proposals for cooperation and unification, to continue more and more to counsel with other agencies with regard to policy and methods of work and to encourage effective cooperation on the part of both mis­ sions and churches on the foreign field.
