A Memorial Minute, prepared by the Historian, Dr. A. L. Wiley, on the death of Mrs. Horace K. Wright was adopted as follows: ADELAIDE FAIRBANK WRIGHT. In 1900 during the writer’s first hot season in India, he had a class of young children, on Sunday morning, at Murray House, Mahableshwar. In that class was Adelaide Fairbank, who was five years old. Adelaide Fairbank was born March 26th, 1895 at Mahablesh­ war India, the daughter Dr. and Mrs. Edward Fairbank of Vadala. She graduated from Mt. Holyoke College in 19 15 , with the degree of A.B. She returned to India in September 19 15 and taught at Ahmednagar, 1915-1917 except that she was four months at Shola- pur. She returned to the United States in 19 17 , engaged for a time in the work of the Student Volunteer worker and took ad­ vanced study for a year at the Hartford Seminary Foundation, re­ ceiving the degree of Master of Religious Education. She returned to India in September 1919 and was married to Rev. Horace K. Wright, October 10th, 1919. Mrs. Wright taught in the Mission High School and engaged in other Mission work, in Vengurla from 1919 until her first fur­ lough. She was on furlough in the United States from April 1923 to June 1924. On return from furlough the family spent a few months at Kolhapur, until Mission Meeting, 1924. At this meet­ ing Mr. and Mrs. Wright, at the request of the Ahmednagar Union Training School, through the Bombay Representative Christian Council, were set apart to head that institution. The success of that insdtution and the change by Govern­ ment of its status to that of a Training College, was due as much to the effective work of Mrs. Wright as to that of Mr. Wright. Before leaving for their second furlough in 1931-32, the Mission, iò WESTERN INDIA MISSION at the request of the Board of the Union Training College set Mr. and Mrs. Wright apart for the work of that institution for a second term. During the years 1924-31 Mrs. Wright had more or less serious illness, due in large part of overwork. The writer had the privilege of seeing Mrs. Wright in her home and at work, during some periods of lecturing in the Union Theological Semin­ ary at Ahmednagar, and on annual visits as a representative on the Board of the Union Training College. After working all day, she would sit down after dinner making notes for her articles for the Nava Shikshak, or in the preparation of her notes for publication. She was an incessant worker and seemingly a tireless worker; but the overwork told after a time and hastened the fatal disease which had threatened for some years. She became seriously ill, in the United States in 1932 and was in Hospitals for some time. The physicians considered her case a critical one, but agreed to her return to India, where her people were. She endured uncomplain­ ingly, for almost three years after her return, untold suffering. She was at Vengurla from September until her passing, for treatment under Dr. Goheen. Two operations were performed. On Octo­ ber 1st 1934, the writer was at Vengurla. He went to say good-bye to her before leaving. The writer will never forget the sweet smile on her face as she bade him good-bye. She looked as if she were starting out on a joyous adventure rather than to submission to the surgeon’s knife. More than four months after this opera­ tion, months of suffering bravely borne, Mrs. Wright passed away on Feb. 7th 1935 and her body was laid away in the cemetery where lie the bodies of Mrs. L. W . Taylor and Miss M. C. Reben- tisch, two other members of the Mission, who earlier received promotion. Five children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Wright,— Alice Kepler, born August 18th, 1920; Mary Adelaide, born October 25th 1922; Edward Fairbank, born August 2nd 1924 who died at Mahableshwar April 22nd, 1925; Lydia Fairbank born August 7th 1926; and Theodore Robert Fairbank born April 10th, 1928. We tender our deepest sympathy to the bereaved husband and children and commend them to the living kindness of Him, whom the wife and mother so lovingly served throughout her life. We sorrow with the husband and children, parents and other loved ones, for she was our own. Memories of her life of loving sacrifice will accompany us as we continue on our journey which shall end in that grand triumphal reunion where sickness, pain and sorrow shall be known no more. 3544. Certain suggestions regarding the amendment of the Field Manual in the matter of the constitution of the Executive Committee were referred to the Committee on the Revision of the Field Manual.

Krug Sep. 19 31 M ar. 1938 M ar. 19 37 5 yrs. 6 mos. *A short furlough of 7 months exclusive of travel. With reference to the furloughs requested above,

(1) The Mission recommends the furlough of Rev. and Mrs. M. W. Strahler for March 1936. Mr. Strahler will have served the extended term except for the one month of Hot Season. Mrs. Strahler remained at home for a time for the sake of the children and took one trip at her own expense for essential personal reasons. Their daughter graduates this next year. (2) Mrs. Napp’s late return to the field was due to the ill-health of her daughter. This was with the sanction of the Board. Mrs. Napp should be permitted to return to the United States in August 1936 in order to be with her children there and to enter Maxwell in School. If Dr. Napp remains on the field until Sept. 1938 he will have been on the field two years longer than the regular term. This seems to be all that is required by the Board’s Manual. (3) Miss M. Craig is completing her first term of service. In remaining until June 1936 she is remaining three months longer than required. Further post-ponement of furlough is not desirable in view of making arrangements for the work in Miraj Hospital. Miraj Hospital is responsible for Miss Craig’s salary, travel and allowances. (4) Mrs. J. L. Goheen went home in April 1935, at the expense of the Ichalkaranji Darbar, for the sake of the children. Mr. Goheen will have served the extended term, except for the two months of Hot Season. His early sailing will permit his return at about the time Mr. and Mrs. H. W. Brown will be proceeding on furlough. '(5) The late arrival on the field of Mrs. C. E. Vail was due to sickness in her own family. The furlough of 7 months, besides time allowed for travelling, is anticipated because D r. V ail should see his Berlin Physician, even before the date of the proposed sailing.

Hannum reported by letter on his attendance, as the Mission’s representative, at the meeting of -the General Assmbly of the Presbyterian Church in the U.S.A. 19 35] RESOLUTIONS 63 RESOLUTIONS The report of the Committee on Resolutions was adopted as follows: 35352. Adelaide Fairbank Wright. The Mission records with sorrow the passing away last Febru­ ary of Adelaide Fairbank Wright, the beloved wife of Rev. Horace Wright after some five years of pain and suffering heroically borne. Mrs. Wright came to this Mission sixteen years ago and has left behind her a record of unique usefulness and devotion in her chosen field of Religious Education. In this field, despite the press­ ing duties and cares devolving upon her as a worker in Venguria S ation and later at Ahmednagar, and in the very midst of exacting duties as mother and home-maker, she was able to make contribu­ tions of marked and lasting value to the Christian cause in India. Reference must especially be made to her volume “ Living in God’s World” for the First Standard Children, in The Charterhouse Course, and to the valuable studies and courses published by her in the Magazine for Teachers, of which she was long, with her hus­ band, co-editor. For this life of rare value and beauty the Mission humbly gives thanks to God and prays that His grace and comforting care may be given in full measure to those bereft of wife and mother.

Mrs. G. V. Moses. 35353- To our esteemed fellow-worker, Mr. Gabriel V. Moses and his sorrowing family the Mission would express its affectionate sympathy in the loss of Mrs. Moses and its prayer that He in whom alone comfort can be found may, bind up their deep wounds. Mrs. Moses, a daughter of Indian missionaries of the Plymouth Brethren group, was known for her quiet but very positive Chris­ tian influence in the Church and community. Her faith in God’s goodness, tested many times, seemed never to waver. No one, outside the home, ever heard Mrs. Moses criticize anyone and in the home she always stopped criticism by pointing out the good in people or by finding excuses for them. She was a most loving and wise mother, the maker of a truly Christian home.

Our Senior Secretary. 35354- The Mission again records its love and admiration for Dr. Robert E. Speer, our Senior Secretary, whose faith, hope and love, expressed in his many addresses and letters, have in­ spired us all. 64 WESTERN INDIA MISSION [19 3 5

Dr. Clelland B. MacAfee. 35355- The Mission expresses its joy in the recent news of Dr. MacAfee’s improvement in health, and our earnest hope and prayer that he may be spared for many years of further service in the cause of Missions throughout the world. Dr. Charles E. Vail. 35356. The Mission^would render humble and hearty thanks to our loving Father in that it has pleased Him to preserve the life and strength of our beloved fellow-missionary, Dr. Charles Edward Vail, m . d ., that his great services in the relief of sickness and in the spread of the kingdom of God might proceed without interruption.

35357* Rev. and Mrs. E. M. Wilson. In the spring of 1935 the Rev. and Mrs. E. M. Wilson were compelled by ill-health to return to America after two score years of service. Kodoli Station, Kodoli Church and the Christian com­ munity had enjoyed the help of their presence and the benefit of their rich experience during their final term as well as for several years in a previous term, and many were the expressions of affection felt for them by those in whose homes they had brought blessing. Mrs. Wilson came to India before Mr. Wilson, arriving in Ratnagiri in 1893 as Miss Green. She was one of the noble band of women working in the Zenana Bible and Medical Mission, who have been associated with our Mission for many years and some of whom have become members of our Mission. Mr. Wilson came in 1894 and they were married in 1897. Mrs. Wilson’s 42 years were spent in evangelistic work, in teaching and in making a Christian home where the children were brought up, who now rejoice to call her blessed. Mr. Wilson lived in Ratnagiri, Miraj, Kolhapur, Sangli, Islampur and Kodoli and thus spoke from his own experience when he said that he believed missionaries should be transferred from Station to Station. He had the experience not only of various Stations but also of various forms of work. He had charge of the Industrial School in Sangli for several years and many are the men in various parts of Western India who to-day are reaping the benefit of the instruction in trades they received from and under him. He conducted the Bible School in Kodoli wi:h its course of study for evangelists. He toured in many parts of the field and during his terms in Kodoli both he and Mrs. Wilson spent many days in camps in the District. When a few years ago Mr. and Mrs. Wilson returned from America where they had been struggling 'to regain their health, it was hoped that they would be able to spend another full-term on the field; but in the autumn of 1934 it became evident that they 1935] RESOLUTIONS 65 would have to give up the work and, much to the regret of Kodoli Station, Kodoli Church and the Mission, they returned to the home­ land last Spring. The Mission extends to Mr. and Mrs. Wilson loving greetings and assures them of prayers for them that they may rejoice that their labours all these years in India are not in vain in the Lord and that they may have increasingly rich experiences of His grace. Rev. and Mrs. A. W. Marshall. 35358. Another loss sustained by the Mission has been the retirement of the Rev. Alexander W. Marshall and Mrs. Marshall, m .d . Mr. and Mrs. Marshall occupied a large place in our affections as in those of the Indian community, boch Christian and Non- Christian and their places will not be filled nor their names forgotten. Mr. Marshall’s excellent qualifications as a practical man of affairs, his unusual abilities as a planner and builder of many Mis­ sion buildings, large and small, and especially his important con­ tributions and constructive suggestions at the time of our Mission Councils; his wide and wise outlook upon the work of Evangelism throughout our field and his urgent anxiety that the Church might prosper and that our activities might be growingly Church-centric and not Mission-centric, constituted a service upon which we look back with pleasure and gratitude. Mrs. Marshall, in the minds of multitudes of the Indian folk, regardless of their religion, occupied the place of trusted physician, loving mother, wise counsellor and unfailing friend. Expressions of the highest regard from many officers of the Kolhapur State, from His Highness, the Maharajah, down have marked her depar­ ture from our midst, while in the hearts of her fellow-missionaries, there remains a sense of loss and sadness that considerations of health made her departure imperative. We are most happy to believe that her health has been to a great extent restored. To these beloved friends and to their family we extend over the seven seas our hands of greeting and pray for them the con­ tinued blessing of the Father and that peace which the world cannot give. Miss J. G. Connell. 35359- The news of the retirement of Miss Connell, the efficient and gracious Secretary of Dr. Speer, comes to us with peculiar force as the parting with an old and tried friend whose never failing courtesy and welcome have warmed our hearts when­ ever we have returned to New York. To her at this time the Mission would express loving appreci­ ation of services well and faithfully rendered, 6 6 WESTERN INDIA MISSION T1935 Miss Pindar. 35360. The Mission recalls with gratitude the useful work of Miss Pindar in the Foreign Missions Library and Reading Room and would recognize the signal manner in which she has administer­ ed and organized that important adjunct to the Board rooms. The Mission would assure her that her kindness and helpfulness have not been unnoticed or forgotten by us and trust that her future may be filled with happy activities in the work of the cause dear to her and to the Mission alike.

Miss J. McMillen. 35361. The Mission would extend to Miss J. McMillen, lately retired, fraternal greetings. Her work as Editor of the Prayer Calendar has been the means of binding together in a world wide chain of prayer our goodly fellowship everywhere, a work which must be to her a cause of lasting satisfaction as to us it has been a real means of grace. May she find in the years to come ample scope for her fine abilities and may goodness and mercy con­ tinue to follow her.

The Rev. Milton W. Strahler. 35362. The Mission would record its cordial recognition of the faithful work of the Rev. Milton W . Strahler in producing and putting into successful operation, at a great cost of time and patient toil, the Provident Fund Scheme novr in use in the Mission.

His Highness, the Maharajah of Kolhapur.

35363. It was r e s o l v e d that the Mission express to His Highness, the Maharajah of Kolhapur, the Mission’s grateful thanks for his kindness in again granting the Mission the use of the State Bungalow at Panhala.

The Kolhapur Station.

35364. It was r e s o l v e d that the Mission offer a heart vote of thanks to Kolhapur Station for the Provision made for the members of the Mission during this Annual Meeting.

It was decided that the matter of preparing a com­ plete list of the Christian communities in the Deccan villages be be referred to the Committee on Co-operation with the Kolhapur Church Council, the Committee to have authority to prepare the necessary forms. 19 35] INSTITUTIONS 67 UNION ENTERPRISES AND INSTITUTIONS

The Dnyanodaya. 35367. It was decided to make an appropriation of Rs. 30 to pay on account of the several years when the subscription of this Mission to this paper was subject to the ‘cut’. It was also decided to include in the Estimates an item for Rs. 300, this being the Mission’s regular annual subscription.

Kodaikanal School. 35368. With reference to the Memorandum of Association, inasmuch as the detailed statement had not been received, it was decided to postpone consideration until the March 1936 meeting of the Exeoudve Committee. 35369. At a meeting of parents of children in Kodaikanal School, held in Panhala, October 19, 1935, resolutions were adopted and later approved by the Mission as follows: (1) This Mission favours the closing of the eleventh and twelfth grades in the Kodaikanal School for Missionary Children.

No action was taken. 3 5 3 7 1. With reference to the proposed new Constitution for the College a Committee of the ordained men of the Mission, appointed by and reporting through the Executive Committee, made recommendations approved by the Mission as follows: 3.

21. Delete the words “including at least one year of external study.” (The vote on this by the ordained men of the Mission was five yeas and two nays).

The Union Training College, Ahmednagar. 35372. The Mission’s representative on the Governing Board reported that he had attended a meeting of the Board held on Aug. 9, 1935. The annual expenditures average Rs. 13,000. Besides the Reserve Fund there was a balance on hand at the beginning of the fiscal year of Rs. 6,213. The Department of Public Instruction of the Government of Bombay have sanctioned the opening of a class for Illrd Year teachers. There are about 66 students in the three classes, of whom two-thirds are Chris­ tians. The Staff has been strengthened by the employment of teachers with the qualifications of Bachelor of Teaching. Besides four of these, Dr. P. G. Bhagvat, recently returned from America where he secured his Doctorate, has become associated in the work of the institution. Last year students were sent to Vadala Mission for intensive work in Rural Reconstruction. During the last eight years 290 students have been successful in the Govern­ ment Training College Certificate Examinations. Of these 79 Christians and 15 Hindus have received the Ilnd Year Certificate; 168 Christians, 27 Hindus, 1 Moslem, the 1st Year Certificate. The American Marathi Mission has placed additional property at the disposal of the College.

The Sir William Wanless Tuberculosis Sanatorium 35373* The Mission’s representative reported that about two years ago a gift of Rs. 50,000 had been made to the institu­ tion. The buildings erected from this fund were completed in time for the public opening of the institution under the Chairman­ ship of His Excellency, the Governor of Bombay, on October, 24, 1934. The buildings erected from this Fund of Rs. 50,000 comprise 1 general ward, 1 guest house, 1 X-Ray and operating block, 8 private cottages and 1 engine house.

The Woodstock School and the Kennedy Fund. 35374. In a letter dated August 19, 1935 and addressed to the Secretary of the Mission, Dr. Robert E. Speer wrote as follows:—

“I have not forgotten vour letter of March 29 and my reply of M ay 6 with regard to the expenses of children from the Western India Mission at Mussooree. I think that the Board would be al­ together ready to consider any representations from the India Mis­ sions and the India Council with regard to the use of the Kennedy and Schauffler endowment at Kodaikanal for the care of children of the Western India Mission at Mussooree or the care of children from our other India Missions or Siam Mission at Kodaikanal. It might be well if you would take this matter up with Dr. Dodds and have a full study made with any report and recommendations to the Board. I know that Mrs. Kennedy and Mrs. Schauffler would want their gifts used in the best way so as to help most fully in meeting the problem of the children. I don’ t think that they would wish to tie their gifts in ways that would prevent their largest helpfulness.” In view of the above and with reference to a request from Rev. and Mrs. W. H. Lyon, who desire to enter their children in Woodstock, the Mission request the Board through the Council to make such a provision— annually— for families having children in Woodstock, as would enable them to rent bungalows at Mussooree, the entire amount to be allotted to any one family not to exceed the expense that would be incurred from the same funds were the children to be continued in the Kodaikanal School.

Women’s Work. The reporc of the Committee on Women’s work was adopted as follows: 35375- The number of women studying the Mission’s Bible Course was 833.187 women of the Mission and several young men in the Compounders’ Class at Miraj were examined and passed. 35376.
