NOTICE IN REFERENCE TO BEQUESTS.
As the kjnd intentions of some of the deceased friends of the Society have been rendered abortive for want of correct knowledge of the law, the Committee call special attention to the- following directions
R e q u i s i t e s e o k V a l i d i t y o f ¥ i m .—It should be remembered in the first place that, (a) A will must be in writing, and signed at the foot or end thereof by the Testator or by some other person in his presence and by his direction; (5) Such signature must be made or acknowledged by the Testator in the presence of two Witnesses, who must be present at the same time, and (c) Such Witnesses must attest and subscribe the will in the presence of the Testator.
G i e t s b y W i l l t o Ch a b i t a b l e I nstitutions .— Gifts by will to the Baptist Missionary Society and other Charitable Institutions were formerly subject to restrictions stated in the’ “ Notice in Reference to Bequests ” contained in previous reports. But the effect of the Mortmain and Charitable Uses Act, 1891 (54 and 55 Viet. c. 73), Secs. 3 and 5 and 9, is that nt> gift in favour of a Charitable Institution, made by the will of a Testator dying after August 5th, 1891, can be void by reason of the subject matter of the gift being land or an interest in land. The distinction formerly drawn between personal property which is an interest in land (that is, in any way secured upon or payable out of land) and pure personalty is abolished, and even land may now be lawfully given by will to a Charitable Institution. But lands so given must be sold within one year from the Testator’s death, or such extended period as may be determined by the Court or the Charity Commissioners, and if not sold within such period it will vest in the official Trustee of Charity Lands, and the Charity Commissioners will order it to be sold, and the net proceeds of sale to be paid to the official Trustees of Charity Funds in trust for the Charity in favour of which the land has been’given (Sec. 6).
1.—B e q u e s t o f a n O b d i n a b y P e c u n i a r y L e g a c y t o t h e S o c i e t y . —In this case there is no need for the provision formerly inserted in wills directing the legacy to be paid exclusively out of such parts of the Testator’s estate as mighfc'ilawfully be! disposed of for charitable purposes. The bequest may be in the following form :—
“ I give to the Treasurer or Treasurers for the time being of the Baptist Missionary Society the sum of £ , free of duty, for the general purposes of the said Society ” (or, if so desired, “ for the Translation Fond of the said Society,” or “ for; the School Fund of the said Society ” ).
2 .— B e q u e s t t o t h e S o c i e t y o f a P e c u n i a e y L e g a c y m a d e P a y a b l e o u t o f t h e P b o c e e d s
o f S a m a n d t h e C o n v e r s i o n o f t h h T b s t a t o b ’ s B e a l a n d P e e s o n a l E s t a t e , o b o f a
S h a k e o f b it c h P k o c e b d s .—Very frequently a Testator gives his real and personal estate or ids residuary estate to Trustees on trust to sell, and ^out of the proceeds of sale to pay the legacies previously bequeathed, which may includela legacy to the Society. And a Testator may now bequeath a share of such proceeds to thelSociety. In these cases, although perhaps not essential, it is considered prudent, at all events until the interpretation of the above- mentioned Act has been settled by judicial decision, to add to the gift of the pecuniary legacy or share to the Society the following direction
“ And I direct that in case all the real and leasehold estate comprised in the devise and bequest in trust for sale herein contained Bhall not bfiisold within one year from my death then the said legacy (or share) herein bequeathed to the said Treasurer or Treasurers for the time being of the Baptist Missionary Society, and the'duty thereon shall be paid out of the proceeds of sale and conversion of my personal estate and the proceeds of sale of such of my real and leasehold estate as shall be sold within one year after my death in priority to all other legacies (or shares) payable thereout.” 1897.] ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTH REPORT. "V
3-—G i p t b y W i l l o p Lakd t o t h e S o c i e t y . —If land or a house of any tenure or a freehold or leasehold ground-rent is intended to be given to the Society, it should be given to a Trustee ■or Trustees on trust to sell within one year after the Testator’s death if practicable, and to receive the net purchase money and pay it to the Treasurer or Treasurers for the time being of the Society. The Testator will probably desire that the Succession Duty on the gift and also the cost of any application which may be necessary to extend the period of one year within which the sale must be made under the above-mentioned Act shall be paid out of his general estate. A gift by will of freehold land or a freehold house or a freehold ground-rent for the benefit of the Society may be made in the following form :—
“ I give unto and to the use of (names of Trustees), their heirs and assigns, my freehold {description of land or house or ground-rent) upon trust to sell the same if practicable within, one year from my death, and to receive the proceeds of sale thereof and thereout, and out of the rents and profits until sale to pay the expenses of such sale and all necessary outgoings, and to pay the residue of such proceeds and rents and profits to the Treasurer or Treasurers for the time being of the Baptist Missionary Society for the general purposes of the said Society. And I direct that the Succession Duty payable in respect of the above gift and also the costs of any application to extend the period for sale under the Mortmain and Charitable Uses Act, 1891, shall be paid out of my general estate.”
A gift by will of leasehold land or a leasehold house or a leasehold ground-rent for the benefit of the Society may be made in the following form :— “ I give to (names of Trustees), their executors, administrators, and assigns, my leasehold {description of land or house or ground-rent) upon trust to sell the same if practicable within one year from my death, and tc receive the proceeds of sale thereof and thereout, and out of the rents and profits until sale to pay the expenses of such sale and the rent reserved by the lease under which the same premises are held and all other necessary outgoings, and to pay the residue of such proceeds and rents and profits to the Treasurer or Treasurers for the time being of the Baptist Missionary Society for the general purposes of the said Society. And I direct that the Succession Duty payable in respect of the above gift and also the costs of any application to extend the period for sale under the Mortmain and Charitable Uses Act, .1891». shall be paid out of my general estate.” 'n ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTH REPORT.

METHODS FOR FREQUENT AND REGULAR GIVING.
T he following are ^ome of the methods now in operation, with a detailed •description :— THE ENVELOPE SYSTEM. A Missionary Treasurer and Secretary having been appointed, the chapel is divided into sections, more or less according to size. Each section is placed under the super intendence of a collector, chosen, if possible, from those sitting in the section itself. The collectors are provided with books, in which are entered the numbers of the pews, the name and address of each seat-holder and of other attendants, according to "their respective divisions. These books also contain columns ruled for each month in "the year. The contributions are collected by means of small envelopes. Monthly giving being deaired, these envelopes are placed in the pews on a. certain Sunday in each month. Should there be any individuals who prefer to give less frequently, their -envelopes are supplied at the appropriate intervals. The contributors, having enclosed their subscriptions, deposit their envelopes in the weekly offering boxes (should any be in use) or return them to the collector. Once or twice a month, as may be thought well, the Secretary meets the collectors at the close of a week-evening service, handing •over the envelopes unopened for them to enter the sums they contain in their books. The money may be paid in by the collectors monthly or quarterly, their books being initialed whenever payments are made. The Treasurer remits to the Mission House four times in the year. In some instances receipts are given month by month to every subscriber, these being enclosed in the new envelopes ; in others reoeipts are 4jiven once a quarter, with a reminder of arrears, should there be any ; whilst in other cases receipts are deemed unnecessary. In adopting this method the distribution of a circular, signed by the pastor and -officers, explaining and commending it has been found of great service. With these -circulars slips are issued, upon which subscribers may enter the sum they propose to .give, and state how frequently—whether monthly, quarterly, half-yearly, or annually —they would prefer to give it.
THE DISTRICT METHOD. This method divides the congregations not into sections according to the seats occu pied in the chapel, but into districts according to residence. One collector or, as may be preferred, two collectors are appointed to each district. After a circular, signed by the pastor and officers, has been distributed, and a statement has been made from the pulpit, a general canvass is made to secure promises of help ; the collectors then call for the contributions monthly, or less frequently, as the subscribers may choose. If thought desirable, the small cash envelopes may be also used in working this plan. At least once in three months the collectors should hand over their money to the Secretary, so that as often it may be forwarded to the Mission House. If this scheme, or the one already described, is to prove successful, the smaller sums as well as the larger should be sought. To those who may resolve to attempt this method of securing frequent and regular giving books will be forwarded on application to the Secretaries of tho «Society. 1897.] ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTH REPORT. xiii
Another plan to which attention miy be called consists in the genial circulation of MISSIONARY BOXES. The plan adopted by some churches is as follows: —
1. The boxes are definitely fam ily boxes, and not intended to'supersede or interfere- with any existing annual subscriptions or any public collections at the chapel. 2. The boxes are numbered consecutively, and have on one side a short address to- stimulate missionary zeal, and the suggestion that the boxes should be placed on the breakfast table every Lord's-day morning to receive the family offerings for the work of God among the heathen (in accordance with 1 Cor. xvi. 2).. This is a cardinal feature of the plan.
3. The boxes are called for quarterly at the houses of those who have taken them (unless they prefer to bring them to the chapel) by collectors appointed for that purpose, as soon after each quarter as possible, who give receipts for the amounts received. 4. The collectors hand in the total amount received from the boxes in their districts- to the Mission-box Secretary, who initials their receipt-book counterfoils, and gives- out the names of any new families to be called upon with the view of getting more- boxes taken. Boxes can be forwarded from the Mission House for this use in Christian families. THE PENNY-A-WEEK SYSTEM. As the first step in the adoption of this, as of every other method, let the church appoint its own Missionary Secretary. Then let this officer stlect as many collectors as may be required to collect the pennies from an aggregate of eleven— not more than eleven—subscribers, which sum, with the penny of the collector, will amount to a. shilling. These pennies might be obtained at the chapel services or at the home. They should be paid in monthly to the secretary, who should remit quarterly to Fumival Street. This method is equally adapted for the gathering in of larger weekly sums than a penny. The apparatus for putting this plan into operation will be readily supplied from the Mission House. This system is commended as being especially suited to Christian Endeavour Societies. A PRAYER UNION has recently been instituted, of which full particulars may be obtained. As the circumstances of churches vary, it is necessary to be prepared with a variety of methods. It is hoped that in one or other of the above, every church will find a plan of regular and frequent giving suited to its own particular requirement. xiv ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTH REPORT. [1897.

This Meeting also desires to express its profound sympathy with the famine and plague-stricken peoples of India, and greatly rejoices in the generous response of the churches to the appeal for special help. While deeply grataful for the large measure of liberality exhibited by the churches and supporters of the Society, this Meeting deeply regrets to hear that the present income of Ihe Mission is inadequate to meet current expenditure, and earnestly trusts that, during the coming year, a still larger measure of consecrated giving may not only supply the deficiency, but furnish funds for the support of enlarged agency in the many important land« now open to the missionaries of the Cross. 6.;: The Meeting closed with the Doxology and Benediction.
THE ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTH ANNUAL REPORT.
T he Committee of the Baptist Missionary Society, in sending forth the One Hundred and Fifth Report of the Mission, desire—with a deep sense of the Divine goodness— to encourage their constituents by the plain record of what God has wronght by His servants during the past year, feeling con fident that the success already achieved is but the promise and pledge of still wider conquest— yea I of universal dominion— for “ the kingdoms of this world shall become tbs- kingdoms of our God and of His Christ.”
It has been well said :— “ Nothing is more deeply imbedded in the Gospel than its universality ; nothing is more central in Christ’s work and claims than that He is the Redeemer and Lord of all the nations and generations of the eartli, and that of His Kingdom there shall be no end.” The glorious Gospel of the blessed God is for all ages and all peoples—as full of blessing to the Orient as to the Occident; to the modem as to the ancient world* The reports from the missionaries for the past yeas, notwithstanding many special and trying circumstances, indicate a large measure of blessing and success. In India, where pestilence and famine are stalking through the land, the brethren report a larger number of conversions than for many years past, and, notwithstanding the exceed ing poverty of most of the native church members, a distinct growth in Christian character, aggressive force, independence, and self-support, while day-schools, Sunday-schools, and 4 ONE HUNDRED AND FlFlH RETORT. [1897.
societies of Christian Endeavour are multiplying and greatly prospering. From China the Committee receive tidings that in the one district of Chouping “ the year’s record is a very bright one, 400 converts having been baptized—a much larger number than ever received in any previous year” ; and equally good news comes from Shansi and Shensi. On the Congo the work of the Mission has advanced in a truly remarkable manner. The number of converts has been nearly doubled during the past year. Sunday-schools and day-schools have increased and prospered, and the entire cost of extensive native evan gelistic work has been borne by the free-will offerings of the native Christians—no native evangelist or pastor being paid by funds belonging to the Society, every Church member undertaking some active personal service for the Master, while in several cases persecution has been bravely endured for the Saviour’s sake.
“ Come us to M e, all y e that labour and are heavy laden, and
I w ill give you rest.”
For more than eighteen hundred years countless souls of every name and nation have brought their burdens and their sins to Jesus, and have found rest in H im ; and still, to-day, the weary, the sad, and the hope less in India, China, Africa, and the islands of the sea are coming to His feet, and finding rest and joy and peacc. Not attack, controversy, or ridicule, but the warm, earnest, loving proclamation of the “ glad tidings ” ; this is the agency that is to bring the world to the feet of Christ. The story of the Cross, the Saviour’s sacrifice, this will touch men’s hearts as nothing else can. In the words of the late Dr. Gordon, of Boston : “ The one great need of to-day for all Christian workers, at home or afield, is a fuller indwelling of the Holy Ghost; without th is, all other equipment is vain. “ £ Not by might, nor by power, but by M y Spirit, saith the L ord.’ “ "We need to learn by Divine teaching the blessed secret of the irresistible might of weakness ; of doing great things for God through the energy of that Divine Spirit by whom God does such great things for us.” 1897.] ONE HUNDRED AHD FIFTH BEPOET. 5
On his last birthday David Livingstone wrote :— “ My Jesus, my King, my Life, my All, I once again dedicate myself, body, soul, and spirit to Thee— oh, fill me with the might and power of the Holy Spirit, and take full possession of my life ! ” No wonder that, in his last and lonely hour, the worn and wasted Apostle of Africa knelt down at his bedside at llala, and commended in one last dying effort “ the open sore of the world ” to the Eedeemer of the oppressed, and the Saviour of the lost.
MISSIONARIES ON FURLOUGH.
The following missionaries are at present at home on furlough seeking health and refreshment by a season of rest and change :—

Jamaica, during the past year paid a brief visit to England, returning to Jamaica after a few months’ rest. The Revs. R. Wright and Mrs Hay, and E. Palgrave and Mrs. Davey, have been compelled to relinquish their missionary work in Dacca and Bankipore, in consequence of failure of health and very decided medical certificates adverse to their return to India. The Rev. J. D. and Mrs. Bate, late of Allahabad, after long years of faithful and devoted toil in India, have retired, as in the judgment of 6 ONE HTTNDBED ANi> FIFTH REPOST. [1^9?.
the Society’s medical referee they would neither of them be able to bear the strain and excitement of renewed work in the East. The Rev. George Kerry, who has served the Master in India for more than forty years, during the last seventeen of which he has held the important and responsible position of Indian Secretary, feeling unequal to sustain longer the strain of his official duties, has retired from the secretariat amid the warmest manifestations of the affection and esteem of the entire Mission circle, and with the unbroken confidence, esteem, and regard of all the members of the Home Committee. Mr. and Mrs. Kerry have just arrived in England, and the incoming Committee will at an early date take such action as shall relieve their esteemed friends from future anxiety, and place on record their high appreciation of Mr. Kerry’s long, faithful, and valuable services. After prayerful and mature deliberation the Committee unanimously requested the Rev. Herbert Anderson to accept the post of Indian Secretary, which request, the Committee are glad to report, he complied with, and Mr. Anderson has been acting in this capacity from the 1st of January last to the great satisfaction of the Committee, and they earnestly trust that both he and Mrs. Anderson may be spared for many years to come for the advancement of the great work to which they have consecrated their lives.

CONE HOME. Early in the year tidings reached England of the death of Mrs. Broadway, widow of the veteran missionary, the late Rev. D. P. Broadway, of Bankipore. Mrs. Broadway was indeed a true “ Mother in Israel.” She was reverently and tenderly carried to the grave by the native Christians, who will remember her unselfish labours and generous kindness so long as life lasts. Towards the close of the year a cable from the Congo brought the sad and utterly unexpected nsws: “ Wherrett dead— fever.” 8 ONE HtTNDBED AND FltfTH EEPOBT. [1 8 9 ?.
Only on the 4th of July last Mr. Wherrett left England (with Mrs. White), and by October he had reached our furthest and latest founded station on the Upper Congo River at Yakusu, or Sargent Station, where Mrs. White rejoined her husband, and Mr. Wherrett began his work. In the tender and sympathetic words of the Rev. David Carter, one of his intimate companions at the College in Bristol:— “ Albert Wherrett was admired by all who knew him for his quiet enthusiasm, his dogged perseverance, enabling him to overcome difficulties which would have deterred many another man from attempting to become a missionary at all, and for his kindliness, which made him a general favourite. “ With but three months of active service, after six years of special preparation, the question may suggest itself—Is not this a wasted life ? Those who knew him best will answer most emphatically—No ! “ There are hundreds of hearts that will be saddened by the news of his death, and not least among these will be the very many who have been led to the Saviour through our friend’s instrumentality. His great ambition was to serve God in Africa; he proved his sincerity by leaving home and friends and much that was dear. “ By this time he has seen his Redeemer face to face ; and we like to think that Christ welcomed him with the words, ‘ Thou didst well that it was in thine heart.’ ” By the death of their beloved colleague, J. B. Mead, Esq., of Brockley, the Committee and the whole Baptist denomination have lost not only a generous and sympathetic helper, but a wise and trusted friend and adviser. The following minute records the feelingB of the Committee in relation to this severe loss :— “ While shrinking from doing wrong to the memory of the dead by 1 idle praise,’ yet as a relief to their own feelings, the Committee reoord their warm appreciation of their departed friend. His clearness of perception, quick understanding, sound judgment, buoyant energy, and eminently devout spirit endeared him as a man; while his flomprehensive knowledge of the foreign missionary field, together with his eminent business capacity, patient attention to detail, proved efficiency in action, and munificent generosity, rendered him an invaluable colleague on Committee. In him a mind of much independence and strength and a high sense of honour were combined with a graciousness which deferred to the judgment of others, and made co-operation with him, even in critical times, a continual pleasure. On the Finance Committee he watched the Society’s income and expenditure as if it were the income and expenditure of his own private business ; and so brought to bear upon financial questions those special gifts which secured him a front rank among the commercial men of his time. “ Of Mr. Mead’s manifold activities in other departments of Christian service they may not speak; but, remembering distinguished services rendered to the Baptist Missionary Society during a long series of years, the Committee thank God for His good gift in their friend and colleague, and in parting with him ‘ till the day break, and the shadows flee away,’ they earnestly pray that God will raise up to the Mission in succession others like-minded, who shall press forward the work of the Kingdom till the King Jlimself shall come again ! 1897.j ONE HUNDBED AND FIFTH BEPOBT. 9
“ To the sorrowing widow and family they tender their respectful sympathy with the assurance of their prayerful remembrance in this * day of trouble.’ “ ‘ God ealls our loved ones, but we lose not wholly what He hath given ; They live on earth, in thought and deed, as truly as in His heaven.’ “ They trust that the presence of Him Who comforted the Bethany family, and is still a guest in homes of sorrow, may comfort the family of their beloved friend, and that the blessed fact may be realised that those who go before, and those who tarry a while behind, remain one in Christ I ”
Nor would the Committee fail to place on record their grateful appre ciation of valuable but always unobtrusive services rendered by the late John Jennings, Esq., of Romford, who for more than twenty-five years gladly undertook heavy duties as one of the honorary auditors of the accounts of the Society, showing in this, and in many other ways, his deep sympathy and love for the work of the Society.
“ Blessed are the D ead that die in the L ord.”
YOUNG PEOPLE'S MISSIONARY ASSOCIATION.
After an honourable and useful career of forty-eight years, it was felt that some changes were necessary in the constitution and rules of the Young Men’s Missionary Association, in order to bring it in touch with the numerous Christian Endeavour and similar societies that have sprung up in connection with the churches of the metropolis during the past year, It has, therefore, been entirely reorganised, and now includes in its member ship young people of both sexes, while its name has been changed to Young People’s Missionary Association. This change has received the cordial approval of the Committee of thr parent Society, and has been followed with pleasing results. Many of the Christian Endeavour societies and several new- Sunday Schools and Senior Bible Classes have become affiliated. There has consequently been a larger attendance of delegates at the monthly meetings, and a growth of interest most encouraging and hopeful. In connection with these monthly gather ings well attended and stimulating public missionary meetings have been held, and profitable discussions have taken place on the methods employed for aiding the parent Society in the schools and societies represented. To meet the needs of the growing organisation, the Journal of the Association has also been enlarged and improved, and has, in its new form, met with much favour and a steadily increasing circulation. Supplied free to subscribing auxiliaries, it seeks to quicken interest by furnishing fresh missionary information. 10 ONE SUNDBfiD AND FIFTH EEFOET.
In another department of its work the Association has made progress* having added to its collection new lectures and beautifully coloured slides. These illustrated lectures on the different mission fields have been much used, not only in London, but also in the provinces, with gratifying reports of the pleasure and profit they have afforded. In these ways, as well as by its Library, by Addresses given in Sunday Schools, Christian Endeavour societies, and other gatherings of young people, and under the wise and sympathetic guidance of its indefatigable Secretary, the Rev. W. J. Price, formerly of Patna, N.W.P., the Association hopes to continue its endeavours to foster the missionary spirit, and to promote systematic effort in behalf of the work of the Baptist Missionary Society.
COLONIAL MISSIONARY SOCIETIES.
As the Committee have not received, up to the date of going to press, the necessary returns from the Colonial Missionary Societies, they are com pelled to content themselves with recording the names and officers of the six Colonial Societies at present engaged in mission work in Eastern Bengal, and in desiring for all these organisations increasing blessing and prosperity.

THE WORK OF THE PAST YEAR,
“ The Kingdom of Heaven is like Seed w hich a Man Took and Sowed in His Field.”
The Rev. William Carey commences his annual report thus r— “ Ilands must carry the seed ; that is the justification of the missionary. It must be diligently and carefully sowed; that is hia stewardship. And it must cover the field; that is God’s plan. “ Forecasts of harvest are more or less irrelevant till the whole field has been sowed. Firstfruits indeed are given, and the increase is always a hundred-fold, for God’s loving-kindness is great. It is ever a miracle when the grain ripens in the sun, always a heavenly wonder, too sacred for common speech. Yet enough is vouchsafed to justify past endeavour and excite to more earnest toil. And the best is to come. “ The joy of the angels will be ours, too. by and by. We may well patiently wait. Meanwhile we share, in our measure, the exhilaration of Jesus satisfying all earthly hunger :—‘ I have meat to eat that ye know not of. . . . My meat is to do the will of Him that sent Me, and to finish His work.’ ” The past year will be sadly memorable in the history of the Empire of India as one of famine, fever and plague. In the words of one of India’s veteran missionaries :— “ The past year has been the saddest I have known for fifty years—cholera, malarious fever, famine, and plague. I have seen sights I pray I may never again see—worn, starving, fever-stricken people—mere skeletons—orphan children left to die by hundreds ; and distress, misery, and want, written on thousands of faces. Yet 12 ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTH REPORT. [1897.
amid all this bitter suffering and need, I cannot fail to see that Christ’s Kingdom is surely and steadily advancing in this vast land, “ The name of Christ is uppermost in thousands of hearts and lips. There is a widespread feeling of unrest, and dissatisfaction with idolatry ; a longing for inward peace, and, especially with the young educated natives, an utter disbelief in the gods of their fathers.” During the past year there have been tfT O additions to the Native Christian Church ; and with regard to these additions it may be well to repeat what was stated in the last Report, that— “ In order to estimate their true value it should be remembered that they con sist not of infants, nor of the unintelligent, nor of merely nominal professors of Christianity. In every case the missionaries have anxiously sought to ascertain the presence of a work of grace in the individual heart. Each convert can tell of the workings of the Divine Spirit leading, by prayerful steps, to a full and open oonfession of repentance towards God and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ."
VERNACULAR PREACHING. During the past year, as in former years, much time has been -given by the missionaries to the great work of preaching the Gospel, not only to the crowd in the thronging mêlas and the great heathen festivals, but in quiet conversation with the shopkeeper in his leisure moments, with the boatman by the River Ghat, the restless, un satisfied pilgrim in the Temple Court, the ryot in the field or by the roadside, the traveller by the highways and hedges, in the city bazaar and in the village rest-house, in public conveyances and private houses—contact with the individual is of the first importance— and as in times past so to-day, this widespread preaching of the Gospel has been everywhere followed by Divine success.
From Pirojpur, in Eastern Bengal, the Rev. A. T. Teichmann writes :— “ We have been regularly preaching the Gospel at the bi-weekly market, as well as in the bazaar on other days of the week, as opportunity afforded itself. We have also visited frequently the near market known as 1 Rajar Hat.’ Although this kind of work does not show results which can be accurately tabulated, still the faithful presenting of the simple Gospel message in new ways and the selling of Scripture portions must bring about the day when large numbers, convinced of the truth, will come forward to embrace Christianity. Many are the instances we meet with where the conscience of the people acquiesces already in the truth we preach, but obstacles in the way keep them back from declaring it openly. I mention here one or two cases of educated English-speaking native gentlemen, where the gradual moving towards the truth has specially cheered my heart. “ One of them told me one day that, whenever he prayed his ‘ Montro,’ he always finished up with the Lord’s Prayer. Having a oopy of Dr. Glover’s sermons on the Lord’s Prayer in my library, I lent it to him, the reading of which he greatly enjoyed, and to the learned author of which he could not ascribe sufficient praise. 1897.] OlffE HTTNBBEB AND FIFTH BEPOET. 18
“ Our conversation was overheard by one of his colleagues, also a graduate of the Calcutta University, who on first coming to Pirojpur refused to take any tract or religious book, but now asked for the loan of the book mentioned above. He has taken it with him, as both these gentlemen have been removed from here, but who can tell where its influence will stop ! Another friend, formerly here in Government service, stayed with us for a day on his way to Calcutta, and as he had received much benefit from Andrew Murray’s 4 Abide in Christ,’ which I had given to his son, he ordered from Calcutta ‘ The Children for Christ.’ He has lent me his copy because he enjoyed the reading of it so much. Thus one helps another and yet another.”
Tlie Rev. W. Bowen James, of Julpigori and Dinagepore, writes :—
“ During the past year, I have made frequent preaching tours over a wide district, and have had great encouragement. We have had the joy of baptizing twenty-eight converts. Two of these were baptized on the 27th September last, at a Mech village near Oodlabari in the Bengal Dooars, and almost at the very base of the Himalayas. The Cheel river, in which the Ordinance of Baptism was administered, does not offer the best conveniences for the purpose, on account of its stony bed and swift current especially during the rains, but the surroundings are sublime. The eye can take in almost at a glance the vast plains on one hand, extending apparently over immeasur able distance, and the great mountains on the other, towering heavenwards far above the clouds, clothed in pure white with the snows of ages, whilst the lower ranges are luxuriantly clad in perpetual green with the great forests. “ After the baptism, the Lord’s Supper was administered in the verandah of a small Mech hut. There were present five persons only, including the writer, and this small number represented four distinct nationalities. There was the Bengali, of fair complexion and well-defined features, who can claim a relationship with other branches of the Aryan stock. “ There was the Santal, at once stamped as an aboriginal by his dark skin, irregular features, and almost savage appearance. “ There was the Mech, with pronounced Mongolian features, the first known member of his tribe to have embraced Christianity. By his side sat his wife, baptized that morning, the first woman of the Mech tribe known to have the honour of following Christ. Great was his joy when he saw her, in spite of the entreaties of her neighbours, following him into ‘ the Kingdom.’ He had waited patiently for over two years, and had prayed much, and now the reply came and with it the reward also. All these were converts from the heathen. But there sat among them one of still another nationality, who in a far distant land heard of the Saviour from his mother’s lips in early childhood. As he sat with them, and reflected on the fact that although nationality, language, customs, and manners divided them one from the other, the love of Christ had drawn them together, and as he broke to them the bread in remembrance of the body broken for us, his thoughts travelled back over two thousand years to that eventful period in the world’s history when from Zion’s hill the wonderful words were heard, ‘ And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto Me.’ And a vision opened out of a great multitude which no man could number, of all nations and kindreds and people and tongues, drawn together by Christ’s love, washed in His blood, clothed in white robes and with palms in their hands, ever praising Him whose love had saved them.”
From Orissa the reports indicate progress and growth. Miss Barrass, of Cuttack/ writes of her evangelistic journeys as follows 14 ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTH BEFOBT. [1897.
“ We have again to report much reason for encouragement in the cold season itinerations. “ Everywhere we feel that the attitude of the people towards Christ and their idols is changing. Even Brahmans confess that they know that their system is doomed, though some plainly express their intention of holding to it as long as it is a means of livelihood, and evidently have strong hopes that it will last their time. “ In one village the little temple was falling about the idols’ ears, and when the people were asked why they did not repair it, a young Brahman said, ‘ Oh, nowadays, no one cares enough about it to do i t ; these things are all passing away.’ “ Gladly we hail every sign that the darkness is passing away, and the true Light beginning to shine.”
From the great city of Patna, the capital of the vast province of Behar, with its twenty-four millions of people, not one half of whom have yet heard the glad tidings of the Gospel message, and are still in heathen darkness, the Rev. John Stubbs writes :—
“ The work here must still be described as one of ‘ seed-sowing’ in faith and patienoe—seed-sowing upon the waters, where, at once, the seed sinks out of sight. Last cold weather I worked up to about thirty miles east of Patna. The limits of the Report will permit me to mention, as illustrative of the kind of work then done, only one or two of many incidents which come into my memory as I write. The first incident I will mention will serve to show the seed which was sown, and the second the soft and porous soil into which it sometimes fell. “ Recently I was in the little town of Fatwa, sowing the seed of the written and living Word as I could find opportunity—now standing before a crowd, and anon sitting down in the open front of a house for a quiet talk with a smaller oompany. At length, I found myself on the outskirts of the town talking to a little group under the shade of a pipal tree by the river bank. One of the men, a respectably dressed, intelligent looking man of about fifty, who had listened with close attention to all that I had said about the holy life and atoning work of Jesus, earnestly asked me : ‘ Sahib, how long is it since this Lord Jesus came into the world ? ’ I replied, ‘ About 1,800 years ago,’ and added, ‘ He remained in the world thirty-three years, and then He died for sinners like you and me.’ ‘ Oh!’ Baid the man, slowly and very sadly, ‘ He died ? Then He isn’t living now V ‘ Oh, yes,’ I quickly said, ‘ that’s the beauty of it. He died, but God was so satisfied with His work that on the third day He raised Him from the dead, and He has lived ever since, and will ever live, at God’s right hand in heaven, to plead for any sinner, of any nation, who, relying upon His merit, seeks pardon through Him.’ This was evidently a perfect revelation to the man—an entirely new truth, the like of which he had never heard before. His eyes and mouth, unconsciously, opened wide with amazement, as he realised that this same Jesus, of whom he had just heard, was living at that very moment. I was not surprised when he bought a Gospel that he might read about this wonderful ever-living Jesus for himself. I felt, as I came away, more than ever the importance of preaching Christ as the Saviour who liveth, and was dead, and is alive for evermore, for this is the only truth which God will vitalise, and make the seed of a spiritual life. “ The second incident will serve to show the alluvial sediment below the water, which we sometimes find ready for the seed. At Narvada, another small but busy town, after singing, preaching, and selling Scriptures in the centre of the main bazaar, about half an hour remained before the departure of the train. I there* fore went with one of oar native Christian brethren (not in Mission employ), 189?.] ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTH RErORT. 15
who had accompanied me, through the narrow, winding streets, calling out, as we went along, that we had good books for sale. Several shopkeepers purchased Scriptures from us as we proceeded, and while my friend was taking the pice from one of these I went forward alone to speak to some boys in a Pathsala. When I turned from the boys I saw two merchants, seated on the raised platform of a large grain store, watching me with great interest, and one of them imme diately asked if I was looking for anyone. I replied that I was God’s servant, and had come to Narvada to preach the Gospel of the true salvation to all who would listen to me. They both at once begged me to come up and take a seat beside them and to deliver my message. I gladly did so, and was at once followed by a crowd which nearly filled the grain shop. When I had finished my brief summary of God’s evangel, one of the two merchants, an earnest, thoughtful-looking man of about forty, said : ‘ What authority can you produce to show that this message of yours is really from God for us ? ’ I replied, ‘ The authority of these Scriptures,’ holding up, as I spoke, the Scrip tures in my hand. ‘ But can you prove,’ said he, ‘ that that book is, above all other books, the book of the true God ? ’ I answered, ‘ I can ; ’ and, very briefly, mentioned the evidence of fulfilled prophecy, and closed by saying:—‘ But the best evidence of all is the miraculous change wrought by the truths enshrined in this book in the hearts and lives of millions of living men and women, and which it will work in your heart and life if you will only put it to the test.’ ‘ Tell me,’ he quickly said, ‘ has it wrought that change in your heart and life ? ’ I as quickly replied, ‘ Thank God it has, and I bear my witness to that fact before all of you who are here to-day.’ ‘ Do you belong to the Salvation Army T was the next question. I said, ‘ No, but why do you ask 7 What do you know about the Salvation Army ? ’ 1 Three or four years ago, he said, ‘ I heard one of their preachers outside the Bankipur Railway Station, and he spoke very much as you have spoken just now, and so I thought you must surely be one of them.’ I said, ‘ No, but we all belong to the great army of the Lord Jesus Christ, though we serve in different regiments.’ It was then time for me to make my way to the railway station, so I ooncluded by telling my newly-made friends that I came from the Gulzarbagh Mwhalla of Patna, and that I hoped they would come to me there when we could talk over these great matters more fully. Before we left they bought a Gospel of John and a hymn-book. God grant that through that Gospel they may find Him who is the Life and the Light of men 1 ”
From the city of Agra the Rev. J. G. Potter writes :— " As usual, bazaar preaching has'occupied our best energies during the year. We are glad to say that the opposition has not been great during 1896, and we have never failed to get an audience to listen to the Word of “God. This result we trace largely to the fact that our message has been a Gospel message. We have said aa little as possible about Ram or Mohammed. We have also set our face against bazaar discussion, although we might have easily trebled our audiences by encourag ing it. Better to have a dozen people, we feel, listening to the Word of God than 100 joining in a heated discussion in whioh the great point is, who shall get the best of it. A little incident which occurred in connection with our greatest opponent, a Mohammedan Hafiz, greatly pleased me. As often before, he took his stand quite near where we were preaching. He commenced shouting out passages from the Koran and other passages of his own, in opposition to what we were saying, greatly to the distraction of the people around us. Having often warned him, I felt it was time to interfere and insist upon his observing a well-known local law, that rival preachers should stand at Buch distance from each other as not to interfere, lest a disturbance o f the peace should result. As he refused to obey, I felt it but just on this occasion 3 16 ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTft REPORT. [1897. to call upon tlie police to see the rale carried out, and hailed a passing policeman, who happened to be a Mohammedan. He at once interfered and told his fellow Moham medan to move on. This made the Mohammedan preacher furious, and having hurled many curses at the head of the policeman, he said he would rather die as a martyr to the cause than move a yard. I then appealed to the Mohammedans, who stood around their preacher, for fair play. Having oarefully ascertained that we first commenced preaching and that their preacher was in the wrong, they tried to move him by per suasion, and said it was a law among them to obey the voice of ten fellow Moham medans, and they were more than ten who ask him to move on. Still he refused, Baying he would die first. They then took the law into their own hands, and a dozen strong Mohammedans hustled their own preacher away. This exhibition of fair play and good feeling I greatly appreciated. And I may add, our Mohammedan rival has since shown me much greater respect.”
Referring to village work, Mr. Potter says :—
“ At one village Mrs. Potter found an old woman, said to be at least 100 years of age, who wept at meeting Christian teachers, and declared that many years ago as a young woman she had read the Bible and been convinced of its truth. - It was most cheering thus to find a believer in Jesus, hidden away in a village of heathen people. In addition to village work, local mêlas have been visited and the Word of God preached to the thousands of idolaters who have thronged to worship at the different sacred places. Many of these have not only listened to the Word preached, but also carried away portions of Scripture to their various village homes.”
Perhaps in no city in India are the people more bigoted or more opposed to Christianity than in Muttra, one of the fiercest strongholds of Hinduism. The Rev. R. M. McIntosh, reporting upon the work of the past year, writes :—
" In Muttra Puranie Hinduism reigns supreme,.and is daily beheld in its full vigour and activity. -There is nothing visible to indicate its decay. It is all alive. The very atmosphere is impregnated with its vile idolatries, and one cannot move anywhere without being made painfully conscious of its presence and influence. Such is the fascination it exercises over the people, that it defies all human effort to overthrow it. Few Indian cities have withtto jd the advance of Western thought so resolutely as this has, and the more we are brought face to face with the popular Hinduism which prevails here, the stronger grows the conviction that nothing short of the almighty power of the Almighty God oan save this people from the degradation into which they have fallen. Such are the conditions tinder which the Gospel is preached here ; and if we are sometimes depressed, there is much to make us so. The strongest faith in God and in the ultimate success of Christianity, can alone counterbalance the many discouragements and disappointments which fall to our lot. Believing in God, we patiently look forward to the inauguration of a better state of things. Where Budha and Mohammed have failed, Jesus can alone triumph, for there is nothing which His omnipotence cannot accomplish. “ In various parts of the city, morning and evening, has the Gospel been preached by us. We are still convinced that bazaar-preaching is of the greatest importance here. It is a protest against the dominant idolatry ; it is a witness to the Lord Jesus Christ. Aa Muttra exerts bo mighty an influence over the whole of India, pilgrims are '1897.J ONE H U N D R E D A N D F I F I H BEPOJEtT. 1?
.drawn hither in large numbers throughout the year. They are continually coming and going, and the streets are always thronged by them. Through them, we are sending the Gospel message all over the country. They stand and listen. How much they are able to carry away to their distant homes, wc are not in a position to affirm ; but we believe there is a day coming when we shall know. Surely among this class of people, if among any, there is evidenced a hunger and thirst after salvation. However misunderstood the nature of that salvation may be, they are nearer the Kingdom of God than those in whom no soul-thirst after something higher • and better has been awakened. We cannot, therefore, believe that the prcaching of the Gospel here has been a failure.”
As illustrative of the disappointments often experienced by our brethren, the following incident, told by the Rev. Herbert J. Thomas, of Delhi, may well be recorded here “ Some of our preachers met a young lad named Sri Lai at a local met a. He followed up this acquaintance by visiting one of them, named Sanwalaya, daily for some time. The Gospel he learned from him, together with what he had previously heard, laid hold of his heart, and he soon began to plead earnestly to be baptized. I had several talks with him, and ultimately told him to tell his father plainly that he had given his heart to Christ, and was resolved upon being baptized. He did so, and the next day came to say his father had angrily told him to begone ! At the Church meeting he made a simple, earnest confession of his faith, which pleased us all exceedingly ; and, removing his sacred thread, gave it to me. The next morning, in company with some others, he was baptized in the Mission Chapel. After this he was told, if he wished, he might go into the Christian Boys’ Boarding School for a while ; an arrangement to which he readily agreed. A few days after, the expected trouble began. “ His father went to the school, and in the presence of Mr. Stephen Thomas had an interview with the lad, who Was considerably alarmed at seeing him accompanied by certain members of the local Arya Samaj. Af he emphatically stated his unwilling ness to return home with his father, and Mr. Thomas declined to bring any pressure upon him, either to go or to remain, nothing came of this interview. A day or two after a summons was issued upon the Teacher Sanwalaya, requiring him to bring the lad into Court. Of course nothing came of this move, as Sri Lai had never been in his keeping. A summons to the same purpose was then issued against Mr. Thomas, but before it could be served the boy disappeared. As it was easy to prove that no sort of compulsion or restraint had at any time been put upon the lad, and so no responsibility for his custody could be established against Mr. Thomas, the Judge, who was a Hindu, dismissed the application. .The parents continued the search, believing we were altogether deceiving them and had concealed their son about our premises. The poor mother especially manifested the most pitiable gKef, flinging herself down in front of our houses, weeping, tearing her hair, and banging her head on the ground. We felt exceeding pity for the poor creature ; but she, poor thing, would receive no word of comfort from us, and deep were the curses she invoked upon us. About four months later I heard the lad had got to Kharrar ; somehow the father also got to know it, and, having obtained an order from the Court, brought him home. We hear he has been compelled to undergo the filthy rites prescribed for reinstating him as a Brahman ; but from messages he has sent us we are convinced he is only remaining in his father’s house under restraint, and are sure the Lord will not forsake him, but will yet release him from all the bondage in which he is held.” 8* 18 ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTH REPORT. [1897.
From Kharrar, in the Punjab, the Rev. George Anstie Smith reports :— t! In the Kharrar districts we are able to report 111 baptisms for the year 1896. A comparison with previous returns is instructive. In the year 1891, nineteen baptisms took place ; in the year 1892, thirty-seven ; in the year 1893, forty-seven were im mersed ; in 1895, eighty-eight were returned. In a like ratio the numbers attending our ‘ Jalsa’ have grown, and had not the famine prices of grain which obtain> prohibited our having one this year, seven hundred Christians would have collected together. This progress, for which we are very thankful, gives strength and certainty to our hopes in God for the future that we shall go on to advance.” From the reports of two of the evangelists working in these districts we extract the following “ Preaching has been carried on at the three large mêlas of Moni Majara, Pamaur, and Chuni, in this division. Great crowds of people collected about us, and much seed was sown. But our main work in preaching is from village to village, holding meet ings at night for the Christians and their neighbours of the poor classes, and in the ¿ay addressing the Jat Zemindars and caste people of thé villages through which we travel. My helpers and I have carried on this work this year in about 250 villages ; in about eighty villages we have Christians, fourteen of which villages have opened their doors to us daring the year under review. During the year I have toured amongst my people in about seventy-five villages. On three occasions I have also visited other divisions on special duty. Christians reside in some eighty-four villages, but ninft villages are too far off to make regular work in them practicable. I have spent on an average twelve days each month on tour, staying in some places one night, sometimes more in one place. As a rule the people gladly feed me. During the year 124 nights were spent on tour. I have attended five mêlas''
THE NATIYE CHRISTIAN CHURCH.
It may be well to remind the friends of the Society that the Committee have for years past been using their utmost endeavours to promote the establishment and the growth of independent Helfrsupporting aggressive native Christian churches. In the words of the “ Indian Missionary Manual,” prepared by the Committee : “ Every missionary should clearly point out and enforce the duty resting upon all Christians from the very first to sustain and support the institutions of religion. Native converts should be urged and stimulated to provide their own places of worship, support their own pastor, or, if unable to do this, to make the best arrange ments possible for the regular conduct of their own religious services amongst themselves. “ Systematic and conscientious giving should also be enforced from the very beginning of the Christian life, as well as active aggressive efforts for the evangelisation of the surrounding masses.” It is obvious that unless the Native Christian Church responds to such appeals, and acts upon/ such lines, the Gospel can never be diffused to any very great extent in heathen lands. 1897.] ONE HTTNDBED AND FIFTH BEPOBT. 19
The Rev. Robert Spurgeon writes :— “ Perhaps nowhere in India have such determined and honest endeavours to secure the self-support and self-government of native Christian churches been made as in the district of Backergunge, in Eastern Bengal. The three great impediments to the absolute independence of our native churches were—(1) Lack of an ideal, (2) poverty of the people, (3) want of training in that direction in the early days of our Mission. None of these can be overstated, for they have made the work of throw ing the churches upon their own resources a long and trying process. In most things we are yet in apostolic days in Backergunge. Among the 6,522 native Christians forming the Baptist community (of whom 2,262 are church members), ‘ not many wise, not many mighty, not many noble ’ are found, and yet the whole of the sixty-four small churches into which they are divided are to-day quite independent of foreign aid as far as their chureh work is concerned. In most places they have a place of worship built and paid for by themselves; in nearly all there are deacons, elders, and Sunday-school teachers, and ten pastors, not in any way paid by the Society—at least, three ‘ live by the Gospel.’ What if the rest of the pastors depend upon other sources of income I Did not the Apostle Paul do the same ? The problem of how to secure and support a pastor for every little church is surely not so important as the vital question of their growth in the spiritual life. We desire to see in India what we behold in England—an army of independent, well-instructed, and zealous men, able to lead the people, and be themselves an example of Divine grace.” The Rev. William Carey, reporting on this question, writes :— “ The officers of our Backergunge native Christian churches consist of ten pastors, eighteen elders, and ninety-three deacons; but the pastorate problem is not as yet solved, nor will it be solved in my judgment by selecting pastors and urging the churches to pay them. Nor will it be solved by draining the churches of their ablest men to fill evangelists’ posts in the Mission. It will not be solved by the heroic method, i.e., by urging Mission agents to relinquish their salaries for a starvation allowance of precarious tenure ; a life buried in the Beels ; and a bit of Mission land which they know not how to cultivate and would hardly pay for cultivation if they did. It will not be solved at all—in a hurry. We shall be nearer the end when the general level of the diaconate is raised, and the rank and file of our membership can read, every man for himself, in the ‘ Book of the Law of the Lord.’ “ Meanwhile, the choice of well-to-do local leaders is a step in the right direction, and wherever a capable schoolmaster is willing, and invited, to exercise pastoral functions—without detriment to the work for which he is paid by the Mission— nothing but good can come of such an arrangement. By-and-by, with the increase of knowledge, through the supply of the spirit of Jesus Christ and the prayers of God’s people, men of the present deacon class will arise clothed with power to minister to the churches in holy things, and they will find without effort that all their wants are supplied.”
Referring to the characteristics of the native Christians, Mr. Carey says >— “ Shrewd are they, for all their unkempt appearance, and with a fine under standing of the conduct that becomes a Christian. They will offer you a hand more like the rough shell of an oyster than flesh and blood, but you can take it wjfcfrout hesitation as the hand of a t|rotfter in Christ. The eternal elements of faith. 20 ONE HUNDBED AND FIFTH BEFOBT. [1897. worship, redemptive joy, the new nature, and the inheritance of the saints in light are theirs as much as ours. _ For quick responsiveness to heart appeals, for readiness to seize the points of a spirited and scriptural speech, and for unconventional gladness in the House of the Lord, you might travel round the world and yet return with great satisfaction to the natives of Bakharganj.” The Rev. J. G. Kerry, who took over the superintendence of the native Christian churches on the departure of the Rev. Robert Spurgeon for furlough in England, reports:— “ It will be a glorious day for our churches in India when our young men shall begin to look forward to the pastorate as a position to be desired. At present there are ten pastors in the two districts of Bakharganj and Madaripur. We need twenty- five more, and the problem before us constantly is how to supply this great want. We cannot leave the people in ignorance; we are responsible, and unless we give them teaching they will go where they can get it. “ The conduct of the Sunday services and the teaching of the people is practically in the hands of the day-school teachers. Being the best educated they naturally take this position. In a few of the larger places, however, there are men quite able to lead and teach. We would like to see such in all our stations, and hope that the Bible-class sanctioned during the year will help us to train them, “ Forty-four persons have been baptized during the year on a profession of their faith in Christ. Seven of these are girls from the school over which Miss Finch has charge. We rejoice greatly that they have thus early yielded their hearts to the Saviour, and have decided to follow Him. “ Chapel building has been proceeding during the year. At MaraMti, a small house has been erected—with corrugated iron roof—at a cost of Rs. 58. The community here numbers twenty, and the Church membership is only six. Yet they raised Rs. 33 towards the expense of their place of worship. At Ramsil, a corrugated iron building has been begun, and will be completed, I expect, before the year closes. “ The Harvest Festival and the Thanksgiving Festival, in commemoration of the famine of three years ago, have come to stay. The churches are beginning to look forward to them. The Harvest Festival held in February realised Rs. 100, and the gifts at the Thanksgiving Festival amounted to Rs. 83. These sums have been added to the Reserve Fund of our Baptist Union. Every church has contributed. I have been much encouraged by instances of liberality shown. The Church at Kaligram set a good example by giving Rs. 10.12. “ This is the more commendable because we are in the midst of great scarcity. The price of rice is higher than it was ¿uring the great famine year.” Encouraging tidings come also from several other districts. From the South Village churches comes the report:— “ During the year thirty-four have been baptized, and the condition of the churches is good. Two new chapels have been built at the cost of the members, and all the churches are self-supporting, but the constant removals of the people from place to place involves a constant change in the numerical strength of our churches.” The Rev. Gogon Chunder Dutt reports from the Khoolna district:— “ Our native churches are all doing well. All the chapels so much injured by the cyclone of last year have been repaired by the people at their own cost. The chnrchesihelp their own poor, and the assisting the poor by the missionaries is now a p^st thing in otjr i^tive Christian churches. At foijr entirely new stations 1897.] ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTH EEPOB.T. 21 opened up during the past year, the churches have paid for their own chapels and support their own pastors, and not a pice has come out of the funds of the Society.” The Rev. T. R. Edwards, referring to the Native Christian Church in Soory, Beerbhoom, says :— “ When I took up the work in the district of Birbhum, on the decease of the late lamented Rev. A. McKenna, I was -very pleased-to find that the Suri Baptist Church had been organised on such lines as to require little help from the missionary and the evangelists of the Society. It was the aim, I believe, of Mr. McKenna to make the Church entirely independent and self-managing. The result of this was seen during the long illness of Mr. McKenna and during the months which followed his decease ere I could occupy the station. With scarcely any outside help the institutions of the Church flourished and the services were carried on efficiently. “ Let me describe a little more in detail the condition of things I found. The Suri Church has a membership of about sixty. Its affairs are managed by a Punchayet which corresponds to our Diaconate. The members of the Punchayet are elected at a general meeting of the Church members. It is usual for the Church to appoint the missionary as the president or chairman of the Punchayet. But this is not that he may undertake the pastoral duties, because they are shared conjointly by all appointed. All matters affecting the Church are deliberated upon by the Punchayet, arrange ments are made for carrying on the services, and finance matters are attended to, “ The Church at Suri is exceedingly fortunate in having on the Punchayet as secretary an excellent and gifted worker. The name of this brother is Babu Prosonno Kumar Das. He preaches with great acceptance on the Sabbath, presides at the prayer-meetings, and teaches and superintends in the Sunday-school. Indeed, by common consent, he has practically undertaken the work of pastor. “ It was a great joy to me to find such a happy state of things in the Suri Church, and during my charge of the district I did my best to continue and support the organisation which had worked so well. “ One happy result was that I felt entirely free to leave the station at any time, taking with me the Society’s evangelists, knowing full well that the services of the Church would in no way suffer. “ It is doubtless upon the lines above indicated that the independence of the native churches will come about. Except in very few cases, they are not as yet strong enough to support their own pastors.” The Pastor of the Cuttack Church forwards a very encouraging report. He writes:— “ There is a very earnest desire to make the church entirely self-supporting, and during the past year the contributions have largely increased. There is no doubt that many of the members find a real pleasure in giving. There is a deepening interest in the study of the Word of Cod and a growing faith in the efficacy of prayer.” From many other churches equally encouraging reports have been received indicating real progress ; a growing sense of individual responsi bility, not only for the support and maintenance of Church life and worship, but for the spread of the Gospel amongst the surrounding heathen. In the words of one of the native pastors: “ We desire increasingly to feel we are stewards put in trust with the G-ospel, and that we ourselves can only realise the full blessing of salvation as we spread the truth, so that 22 OVE HUNDRED AND FIFTH REPORT.

others who know not Christ may be brought to believe and trust and rejoice in Him.” NATIYE CHRISTIAN TRAINING INSTITUTIONS AND SCHOOLS. SERAMPORE. Reviewing the work in the College during the past year, the Principal, the Rev. E. S. Summers, M.A., reports :— “ This year is one of special satisfaction, inasmuch, as nine Theological students are presented at its close to the Conference for recommendation for mission work. Four of these are the students who have been studying in the English Class for the last four years. Five of them have studied in the Vernacular Class for three years. “ The year, however glad in some of its aspects, has been chequered by sorrow and anxiety, ending satisfactorily in joy and gratitude. Mr. Wilson was sent here at the beginning of the year to take up such work as he could do while studying for his second examination in Bengali. He began his work in a promising way, but he returned after the absence of some days in Calcutta and Jessore, stricken down with very severe typhoid fever, from the effects of which he is not yet fully recovered. We feel thankful that a young and promising life was not abruptly cut off, and that he was given back in response to many prayers to labour, as we trust, for years in this land which so needs the earnest and able worker. After the examinations of the Theological classes were over at the beginning of November, Mr. and Mrs. Denham Robinson removed to Suri, to take charge of the work left by Mr. Edwards, who has gone to England on furlough.”
Referring more in detail to the work of the College, Mr. Summers first reports upon— “The Theological Classes. “ I. The English Theological Class, “ The course of study during the year has been as follows:— “ I.—Apologetics— Butler’s Analogy (Chapter VII. of the first part and six chapters of the second). “ II.—Systematic Theology— Hodge—The Trinity, Person of Christ and Atonement. “ IH.—Bible Introduction— Redford on Prophecy (about half the book). “ IV.—Church History— Bartlet’s History of the First Three Centuries, “ V.—Philosophy— Bully’s Psychology (Intellection), “ VI.—Literature— Hamlet (first two acts). “ VII—Hebrew (the nouns and regular verb with suffixes). “ VIII.—Examinations in Joshua and Gospel of John (studied privately), IX.—Repetition— 1 Timothy and Philippians, m i , - ] ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTH REPORT. 23
“ We are* in hopeB that the English Class will be formed again next year with possibly four students. Two of these will be young men, Brojo Behari Kobiraj and Amrita Lall Sirdar, who have passed the Entrance Examination of the Calcutta University from the College Boarding School.
“ IT. The Vernacular Theological Class. “ We have now seventeen students in this class. Five students during the year have been appointed to various posts in the mission field. The chief, Shitol Chunder Mondol, has been a very good student, maintaining a high position throughout his course, and has assisted usefully in teaching in the Normal Class. Kolpo Toru Bhag is a convert from Hinduism who seems likely to make a very earnest and aggressive evangelist; of the other three I have nothing special to say, but hope that they will prove efficient and useful workers. “ The following is the list of subjects studied during the past year
“ A . B o o k s o f t h e B i b l e . Exodus, 1 und 2 Samuel, John (with Wenger’s Commentary), Acts (with Wenger’s Commentary), Hebrews.
“ B . T h e o l o g i c a l B o o k b . Murray Mitchell's Letters to Indian Youth (A handbook on the Evidences), Shikya Shar (A handbook on Christian Theology).
“ C. R e p e t i t i o n —1 John, Philippians.
“ D. B e n g a l i . “ Mr. Summers taught the classes in Acts and Theology ; Mr. Robinson in John, Exodus, and Letters to Indian Youth; and Mr. Ghose in Hebrews and 1 and 2 Samuel. ‘‘ There is a class held for the instruction of the wives of some of the students who are living on the College grounds. Mrs. Summers and Mrs. Robinson have kindly looked after the women’s class and taught them Scripture.
“ III. The Normal Class. “ There are at present thirteen students in this class. The classes in the Normal Department have been re-arranged with a view to enabling all the students to pass the Government Chatrobritti or Minor Scholarship Examination. “ Upper Division.—Students who have passed the Chatrobritti or Minor Scholarship Examination can be admitted into this class, and will read the first year’s course of the Government Training Colleges, including practical instruction and exercise in teaching. “ Lower Division: (?) Senior Chatrobritti Class, and (5) Junior Chatrobritti Class.—Students who have passed the Upper Primary Examination, or who are of that standard, will be admitted into these classes, and study the Chatrobritti course. “ 3. Preparatory Chatrobritti.—Students who have passed the Lower Primary can be admitted into this class. “ i. Elementary Class.—This is a low class intended for Kols, Garos, and Bengalis from very backward districts, who may be received as a very special favour if the missionary of their distriot, being in need of teachers of the lowest grade, sends them as men whom he wants trained because he has no better. “ As regards classes 3 and 4, it must be distinctly understood that we do not desire 24 ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTH BEF0BT. [1897;
to encourage their maintenance, and hope that speedily the need for receiving such at Serampore will pass away. “ IV. The Boarding School. “ The school has been in a flourishing condition throughout the year. It has over seventy boys in it. Amrita Lai Sirdar has passed the Entrance Examination of the Calcutta University in the second class. The school seems to be in a healthy condition. Twenty-two boys went up for the Scripture Examination of the Bengali Christian Conference. Of these, one appeared for the first grade, twenty for the second, and one for the third grade. The boy who appeared for the first grade stood third in the examination, as did the boy who went up for the third grade. In the second grade one boy was top, and got the medal, and eight altogether stood in the first division as having got over half marks. The Sunday-school has been carried on as usual. Mrs. Summers has taken the top classes, and several Theological class students have rendered earnest and useful service.”
ORISSA NATIYE CHRISTIAN TRAINING INSTITUTION*
CUTTACK. Reporting on the work of this Institution during the past year, the Principal, the Rev. Thomas Bailey, writes :— “ The work of the Institution has proceeded very regularly, though occasional sickness has interrupted the studies of individual students. Seven young men, all candidates for the Christian Ministry, have been in training. They have studied with me in Butler’s Analogy, the seniors in Chap. III. and the juniors in part of Chap. I., Church History from Polycarp to Constantine, 50 pages ; and in exegesis the Book of Exodus in the Bible-class Hand-book series, Introduction Chaps. I. and II., and the commentary on the first two chapters. The lessons on these subjects have included many ideas, new not merely to the students, but also to the Oriya lan guage in which they have to be conveyed, and have required much careful and patient explanation ; but the results have been well worth the pains bestowed. The interest of the students has been well maintained, and the lessons have been almost invari ably well prepared, malting the work of the tutor of genuine enjoyment. “ Under my worthy colleague, the Rev. Shem Sahu, the young men have studied ‘ Letters to Indian Youth,’ by Dr. J. M. Mitchell; ‘ Vedic Hinduism’ in Papers on Indian Reform ; and the Epistles to the Thessalonians. The seniors have also taken Bible Hand-book Part II., the Books of Samuel, Kings, and Chronicles, also the Poetical Books and Psalms ; the juniors in Chap. I., ‘ The Design of the Law and a Summary of its Religious Institutions; ’ Introductions also to the Books from Genesis to Psalms. The seniors have studied Dr. Buckley’s Lectures on the Old Testament Prophecies regarding Christ. “ The Sermon Class has been held as usual on the Saturday morning. “ The Rev. Niladri.Naik has rendered, as heretofore, valuable assistance in super vising the studies of the young men. “ All the students have taken turns at the different preaching stands in the town, and have engaged in other evangelistic work. The seniors have also occasionally preached in the Mission Chapel at the usual Sunday services. “ Tfcere are seven new applicants for admission for the coming* year." 1897.] ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTH REPOST, 25
THE NORTH-WEST NATIYE CHRISTIAN TRAINING INSTITUTION. DELHI. The Rev. Stephen S. Thomas, Principal of the Delhi Institution, reports:— “ The hope I expressed in my last Report of being1 able to re-open the Preachers’ Class has been fulfilled. Several young men have grown up in the school, sat for the middle examination (the one before matriculation) in January last, and after that I had the pleasure of admitting five of them and three others of less attainments to the Preachers’ Class on trial. Two others I’sa Charan and Daniel Arif Masih, who have done well as teachers, were re-admitted to complete their course, so that there have been ten men studying for the ministry. I am doubtful about the mental and physical fitness of one or two, but for the most part I believe they are the most pro mising, and certainly the best educated band of young men we have ever bad : their conduct has been good and they have worked well.
“C l a s s W o r k . “ I have taken them through my1 Handbook to the Acts of the Apostles,’ Geography of Canaan and Dr. Pfander’s ‘ Treatise oh the Divinity of Christ and the Trinity.’ My colleague, Mr. Matthew Pande, has taught Ainulhayat (The Way of Life) and two books in Hindi on the Hindu controversy. In addition to this I had a Sermon Class in which the students read the discourses and prepared outlines on given texts of Scripture, and a few classes were devoted to the very important subject as to how the Scriptures should be read in public.
“ P r e a c h i n g . “ More bazaar-preaching has been done this session than in former years. Instead of taking all the men with me twice a week, as formerly, I divided them into two parties, one to go with Mr. Hasler and Mr. Pande on Mondays and Thursdays, the other to go with me on Tuesdays and Fridays. “ During the holidays they were divided into two parties, one going north to Chap- rauli and Baraut, the other south as far asPalwal. The detailed report, giving names of villages visited and approximate number of people who listened to their preaching shows that a large area was covered and a large number of village people heard the good news. The preachers for the most part were heartily received, and their hymns and addresses frequently asked for, the people on several occasions begging them to prolong their preaching and singing. Going out in the early morning, they often oould not get back to their morning meal till from twelve to two o’clock. That is rather late for breakfast! “ On Sunday evenings a service has been held in the schoolroom here for the students and boys and any others who wished to attend. At the Wednesday evening services I have given a series of addresses on the 1st Epistle of John.
“ B o a r d i n g Sc h o o l . “ Thenumber of boys in the school at present is 34. Of these 11 attend the Upper Primary and Middle classes of St. Stephen’s High School. The lower classes are taught on the premises by two Christian masters, a Maulvi being employed one hour a day to teach Persian. The conduct of the boys on the whole has been good, and several of them give promise of becoming useful men. The bigger boys have read M^ttftew j.-yii. with me a»d memorise# considerable portions of Scripture, 26 ONE HUNDUE!) AND FIFTH EEPOBT. [1897.

At the close of last year there were in attendance at Vernacular Christian Day Schools connected with the Society
0 , 7 0 3 children taught by 9 0 0 Native Christian Teachers.
The policy of the Committee with regard to the establishment of these Vernacular Elementary Christian Day Schools is well set forth in the Indian Manual, in the following words :— “ The Committee recognise it as a duty to see to it that an elementary Vernacular Christian education is provided for all the children of Native converts, especially in districts where there are no Government schools; such education to be upon distinctly Christian lines. “ If higher and more advanced education is desired, the parents should avail themselves of the Government institutions for this purpose.” The Rev. R. H. Tregillus, on his return to Eastern Bengal after fur lough in England, was requested to devote his energies specially to the visitation, examination and superintendence of Vernacular Schools in the Madaripore and Backergunge districts. At the same time a more effective scheme for the better development of this school work was approved by the Home Committee, and laid down by Mr. Tregillus, and step3 taken to ensure a more thoroughly equipped class of vernacular teachers, so that in the future no teacher will be employed who has not secured, by examination, a Government certificate, qualifying him for his work. Mr. Tregillus writes :— “ Since my return to India, not only have I been able to visit all the schools for examination, but I have taken four special trips through the Beds for the purpose of meeting the various teachers, and arranging important questions as to school manage ment and teaching. It is too early to inquire for the results of the new effort, which has scarcely been fully inaugurated yet. Another year will be needed to consolidate the scheme and apply it fully. The impression left on the mind, after a second tour to all the schools, is certainly that progress has been made. The new schools justify their existence. More earnestness is seen in the teachers, and a new interest is being awakened among the parents. Until this latter interest can be fully arouspd o^r 1897.] ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTH R/EPORT. 27 work will lack complete success.

These ar?, under regular Christian instruction. The teachers are reminded again and again of their unique opportunity as evangelists.”
B ishtopohe B oabding School.
Tlie Rev. Kristanga Biswas reports ‘‘ There are at present thirty lads in the boarding school; of thebe, nineteen are sup ported by the Birmingham Young Men’s Missionary Associations, and eleven are day scholars. At the last Government Examination the examiner reported in very high terms on the condition of the school, ‘ the boys being well taught, giving prompt and cor rect answers, looking bright and cheerful, and having gentle manners.’ ”
C uttack H igh School. The Rev. A. H. Young, B.A., Head Master of the Cuttack High School, reports :— “ During the past year our school has reached the highest number we have ever had on the roll. It was 200 in February, 1896. At the close of the year the attend ance was 194. Two of our scholars passed the Matriculation Examination of the Calcutta University in the beginning of the year. “ At our prize distribution in 1895, the Honblc. M. S. Das, who presided on the occa sion, promised Rs. 30 to be given as prizes for the two best essays on the ‘ Life and Work of Jesus Christ.’ This led to a diligent study of the life of Christ by the boys in the upper classes, and twenty-two boys, two of whom were Hindus, came forward to compete for the prizes. “ We have much pleasure in recording that for the past six months we have had, for an hour daily, the valuable help of Rev. G. Howells, B.A., B.D., who arrived from England last December, and we hope that the connection with the school thus begun will continue for many years. “ Normal School. “ The work of the school has been diligently carried on throughout the year. Two of "the pupils passed the Guru Examination in December, and two of them in Jane. Of the former, one was received into the Mission College, and the other was sent to be a teacher in one of our Christian villages. The latter two are still studying and their location will be determined soon.”

cordial co-operation and hearty good wishes of the missionaries. Mr. John Young, the Head Master, reports as follows :— “ Nine candidates were presented at the annual Primary Scholarship Examination for European Schools. Five were placed in the first division, and four in the second, one having gained a scholarship. Two others were sent up for the Middle Scholar ship Examination, and each held a high position in the order of merit. Two of the pupils stood fourth and seventh respectively at a recent competitive examination for admission to the Telegraph Department, and two former pupils stood second and sixth respectively at the same examination. Mr. A. G-. Heefke and Miss B. J. Samuells, both old pupils of the school, have joined the staff of teachers. The number of scholars in attendance is 60.”
K habbab B oarding School. From Kharrar the Rev. George Anstie Smith reports :— “ Our Boarding School numbers 35 lads. They are divided into the following standards pursuant to the Indian Educational Code, viz.: Lower Primary, Upper Primary, and Middle School. At the last Government Examination we received a very favourable certificate. Scripture study has been as usual kept steadily to the fore. A daily Bible-class, before school, of three-quarters of an hour, has been for years maintained regularly. This year most of the bigger boys have spoken with in the Bazaar, where we have had, particularly during the rains, a good deal of first-rate work. The Arya Samaj of Lahore sent a representative to form a 1 Sabha ’ here. We met him in a public discussion, and the effect upon our audiences since has been most delightful. He has oertainly been a great help to us.”
B ible Schools.
The Rev. Wm. Carey calls special attention to the subject of what are termed “ Bible Schools.” He states :—
“ The definition of a Bible School is a school in which the only instruction given is instruction in Biblical knowledge. In other words, it is a Sunday-school without the necessity of being held on a Sunday. “ It is pleasing to note a beginning made with schools of this class. There are four in Barisal, two in Dacca, one in Chittagong, and one in Pirozpur. The two latter are taught in English. “ The door for this kind of work stands open everywhere. A good opportunity may be found in connection with our Day Schools for heathen boys. Let an hour be set apart, once a week, for worship and special Biblical instruction—i.e., for the distinctive exercises of a Sunday-school—and then watch for fruit! My three Bengali Bible Schools, in Barisal, are really invasions of private Day Schools that have nothing to do with the Mission. They cost only the trouble of going to and fro—the price of a few hymn-books—a small donation for the repairs of the school-house—and the time spent in teaching. The plan is reoommended for other stations. Never mind the hour at which it must be held. Let the school’s convenience be studied, not your own. You may come home at mid-day, or in the early afternoon, with the back of your head thumping like a ship engine, and your eyes gravelled with glare—but what of that ? It is all in the day’s work. Men will do it for indigo, why should Hot we do it for Christ I ” 1897.] ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTH BEPOBT. 2 9
SUNDAY SCHOOLS AND SOCIETIES OF CHRISTIAN ENDEAYOUR. Reports of Sunday-school work during the past year are remarkably encouraging. The total number of scholars in regular attendance during the pas® year was 5 , 6 3 0 , and Sunday-school teachers 4 3 1 . Referring to Sunday-school work in the Province of Bengal, the Rev. William Oarey reports :— “ The number of Sunday-schools on the Bengal field has increased to 150 as against 110 reported last year. This is a gain of 40. “ The number of teachers has likewise risen from 232 to 215, a gain of 13. But the number of scholars has decreased. “ There is nothing, however, to regret in this seeming loss, except the look of it. It is really explained by the application of averages to all the schools. Last year the entire Division of North Bengal, and almost the whole of West Bengal, reported the numbers on the roll and not the actual attendance. I know from careful observation that roll numbers, especially in the case of village schools, are practically valueless as a test of attendance. “ The fact is that, in oonsequence of this blunder, the figures for those divisions were far too high last year in proportion to the number of schools. Similarly, in East Bengal,.the two districts of Jessore and Khulna reported roll numbers and con sequently exaggerated totals. I would rather have actual returns of attendance for only one month in the year than twelve quotations of roll numbers—or the wisest guess at a likely average. “ Where the principle of attendance returns has been stringently applied all along— viz-., in the district of Bakharganj and the sub-division of Madaripur, the true rate of progress.immediately appears. The following table exhibits the figures for the past two years:—
Non- Non- Bakhargan] and Sunday Male Female Christian Christian Schools. Teachers. Bojs. Girls. Christian i Christian- M&i&rlpar. Teachers. Boys. Girls.

Increase 36 16 7 35 72 56 22
“ On th,e whole then we may regard the totals for this year with far more satisfaction than those of 1895. They represent the actual attendance of each school for the months reported, and indicate a solid advance in the real work done. Conscientioua* ness is better than show. Nevertheless, the nett gain of forty new schools—and evidently greater thoroughness in maintaining the old ones—make a very encouraging show, so ONÉ fiÜNDfcED AND FIFTH BEÍO&T. [189?.
“ In July (1896), the India S. S. Union conducted a general examination for the whole of India on the international lessons for the preceding three months. íh e detailed resulta are just out and speak for themselves. “ Of 110 boys and girls examined and passed in Bengali—70 were sent up from our own Baptist schools. “ Of sixty-four passed in the Senior Section, only two stand in the 1st Division. One of these is ours. Of forty-six passed in the Junior Section, four stand in the 1st Division, and three of these are ours. One of the three gained ninety-one marks out of a possible hundred. She is a little girl in the Barisál Boarding School and her name is Muktakesi. “ Bengali teachers have enjoyed so few privileges compared with ourselves, that we ought to seize every occasion and use every means in our power of giving them help. “ The weekly preparation class is perhaps the most important step to take first. We have two in Barisál—both meeting on Saturday night. They have come to stay. “ Review Sunday is a second strategic point. It costs a heap of trouble for an Krifflìshman to handle a Bengali Review, with even moderate success, but it grandly pays. As an inspiration to the teacher—even more than to the scholar—its value cannot be over-estimated. We are learning how to do it here, and the interest grows. “ Object lessons are a third and powerful lever. Get good ones and give them at large meetings with the teachers looking on. They will help you to demonstrate what can be done even with a crowd of restless and obstreperous boys. The mission ary has always to show the way, and it is good for him that he has. It tries his mettle. Last August, at our annual meetings in the district, some three hundred children, huddled in awful heat, sat for two hours absorbed with an object study of the Life of Christ.”
Mr. Carey concludes his review of Sunday-school work in Bengal by the following appeal
“ This is a work that is capable of immediate extension all over thè field. “ Only one in eight of our Baptist Christian community are found in the Sunday- echool. The number might almost be doubled in the course of this year. As to the non-Christians, we have hardly begun to open our eyes to the power of the Sunday- school among them. I do not hesitate to say that, even with our present staff, we might soon have four times the present number of Sunday-schoolB for heathen children. “ Let the missionary himself take the lead. Let him see that the village or city teacher receives every month in good time the coloured packet of lessons, and a word or two of cheer, it may be, with the call for copies of the attendance returns. Let him read the returns when they come, and pray over them, and note their increase, and see what a little encouragement will do towards accelerating the pace. As often as occasion offers, let him visit the school himself, and patiently examine the scholars, and take the lesson for the day and bring a breeze with him. Let the glow of a real tvpd loving interest be seen in his face ; let him show himself master of that, situation as of all others, and leave the impression that he thoroughly enjoyed the exercises of the hour. And, believe me, the teacher will take the hint. “ It goes without saying that every missionary should be born, or make haste to become—a Sunday-scjiool man ! ”
Other brethren report on this branch of work in words of good cheer* From the Intally Native Christian Church in Calcutta, we learn:— 1897.] ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTH REPORT. 31
“ The Sunday-school has been well sustained. Mr. Nath has 30 young men in his class. The other classes contain CO boys and 91 girls, with 13 teachers. This makes a total of 194. The Library has been replenished and is highly prized. In February, the scholars were examined in the subjects taught during the last six months. Fourteen scholars wrote their answers, 59 scholars were examined orally. “ In July, 21 scholars passed the examination held by the India Sunday School Union, and gained certificates. Thirteen scholars under 12 years of age also passed the corresponding viva-voce examination held by the Bengal S. S. Union.” From Cuttack the Superintendent reports :— “ The number of teachers in our Sunday-school is 22, and the pupils on the roll 321, of whom 199 are boys and 122 girls. The attendance has been satisfactory, and the general behaviour uniformly good. The senior scholars have never failed to render assistance when required, and we are trying our best to make them workers for Christ by asking them to conduct classes. The scholars have shown increasing interest in the study of the Word of God, and the teachers have found it a pleasure to sow the precious seed.” The Rev. J. G. Potter, the Sunday-school Secretary of the North-West Conference, reporting on the North-West Sunday-schools, writes :— “ The numbers of schools and scholars reported are in nearly every case an advance upon those of last year, showing a growing interest in this most important depart ment of mission work. Many Christian people seem to suppose that because we do not sprinkle the babies, Baptists neglect the children. It is time that we as Indian missionaries, by giving special attention to them, removed all possible ground for any such belief. In England and America I believe our Sunday-schools and Christian Endeavour societies compare favourably with those of other denominations both as to numbers and efficiency. If we continue to increase as during the last year, this will soon be true of India also. “ The hope of winning the people of India for Christ lies in getting hold of the children. Thank God it is not difficult to get them into schools. “ It is as well to recognise the fact that the Sunday-school is as well adapted for adults as for children. Our friends in Wales found this out long ago, and now we in India are beginning to find it out also. “ From at least two of our stations a goodly number of adults are reported among those attending the Sunday-school. At Agra a sleepy afternoon service has quite revived by changing it into a Sunday-school. Possibly in some other places this plan might be tried with advantage.”
SOCIETIES OF CHRISTIAN ENDEAYOUR. “ For Ohrist and the Church.’’
The rapid growth of the Christian Endeavour movement in India, and especially in Eastern Bengal, is remarkable. During the past year the number of Baptist societies has risen from 35 to 60, a clear increase of 25, while the membership has advanced from 885 to 746, a gain of 411, all the members being active members. The Union holds Quarterly Rallies and an Annual Convention. The 4 32 ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTH REPORT. [1897. first Convention was held at A’skar, in Backergunge, in February, 1896, and was a great and signal success. The second was held in January last at Chobi-khar-par. At Dacca, a service is held by Endeavourers, on Thursday afternoons, for the destitute poor. At Pirojpur, three preachers’ wives, members of the C. E. Society, stirred up by it to greater zeal, have willingly given themselves, without pay, to teaching in a school for Hindu girls. This means three hours a day of their time for teaching alone—besides the time for preparation— and after that they have their housework to do, including cooking, fetch ing water from the tank, &c., and this is without the help of a servant. At Barisul, the junior girls have an Endeavour Garden which, all through the year, has supplied the -chapel table with flowers. The elder girls and women pay half the cost of a colporteur, whose business it is every morn ing to board the outgoing steamers and give every passenger a tract. There are three steamers, starting from two jetties nearly a mile apart. This colporteur began in July, and, up to the end of September, had thus distributed £ , 2 4 : 1 mute messengers of mercy. The Endeavour Society connected with the Intally Native Christian Church in Calcutta has had a year of most successful work. The Pastor of the Church writes “ Our Look-out Committee beside their own special work, help the Church by visiting from house to house. The Music Committee, at their own suggestion, was turned into an Evangelistic Committee. They preach on Saturdays in front of my house, and frequently on Sundays near the chapel. On public holidays they have occasionally gone to more distant placefi. At their suggestion special services have been held in the chapel, and others are being planned. The Temperance Committee have arranged for quarterly meetings, which have been largely attended and very instructive. What is better still, the individual members are quick at seeing what wants doing and are doing it. Last week one of the deacons remarked to me that, a few years ago, we used to regret that our young men were indifferent to religion, but now their religious zeal seems to exceed that of their elders.” Reports from other districts are also very satisfactory, and it is abundantly clear that these organisations are bringing the young people of the native Christian community into close and stimulating association in aggressive Christian work.

Miss Leigh, in charge of this Institution, reports :—
“ During the year five girls have been married; one, Sati Padi, was a capable monitor and consistent Christian, and with regret we parted from her when she left for her distant home in Rangoon. “ The Christian Endeavour meetings have kept up in interest. Nabakumari, our head teacher and a valuable helper, has done much to make the society a success by her example and instruction, greatly helping the younger members. The number on the roll is fifty-one. “ The results of the Government examination came to hand after the last report had been published. Eight pupils were presented ; all passed but one. Emogen Das, who went up for the Middle Yernacular, failed to gain the scholarship by three marks only. “ There are now ninety-one on the day-school register ; sixteen of these are village pupils. The Middle English classes, of which there are four, have made good progress. Besides the ordinary lessons, the girls have committed to memory portions of Scripture, and read through the Gospels of Mark and John and the Acts of the Apostles. The Inspector’s report is as follows :— “ ‘ Visited the Cuttack Female Orphanage School to-day; seventy-five girls were present out of eighty-four enrolled. I examined the senior girls in the Knglish classes, and was surprised at the proficiency which most of them have attained in so short a time. Their English parsing was very good. The present English'Class is a great step in advance, but it is a step which, I fear, will induce undue strain on Misa Leigh in the absence of a competent assistant.’ “ During the year three have been baptized and ten have been received into the school; of these four are adopted by kind friends in England. There are still some unsupported ones in the Orphanage; among these Dannie and Kuttua, two little boys—bright, intelligent children—need adoption. Hearty and grateful thanks are tendered to those friends who during the past year have decided to support an orphan, and in some cases more than one, also for letters written and gifts sent to the children, who are stimulated and encouraged by this loving interest.”
THE BOYS’ ORPHANAGE, CUTTACK.
The Rev. Thomas Bailey, reporting on the Boys’ Orphanage for the past year, writes:— “ We have again to report considerable changes in connection with this Institution. No less than ten boys have been received during the year. One of these is from Hough-patna, our village near Jumbo, where an outbreak of cholera carried off several of the villagers. The others are principally from Cuttack, where death has been unusually busy in our native community. None have been received except in circumstances of urgent need. Five have been dismissed, all of whom are either able to maintain themselves or have friends able to care for them. There are at present twenty-three boys on the premises, and ten receiving help while residing with their friends. Cases of sickness have been unusually numerous, and one boy, whose dying 34 ONE B UNDUE D AND FIFTH BEPOBT. [1897, mother had made him over to us, died in hospital before his name was entered on the register. “ The Young People’s Association connected with the Institution continues useful and flourishing. “ Several pupils, children of needy parents, have been received into the day-school at a nominal fee; and a few of the most promising boys have been formed into a class in TSnglish by Mr. Howells, who has taught them regularly, and reports favourably of their progress. One boy has been baptized and received into the Church, and the general behaviour has been good. The Institution is to myself, and to the young brethren resident with me. a source of perennial interest and much enjoyment.”
SPECIAL WORK AMONGST ENGLISH-SPEAKING NATIYE STUDENTS.
The special work carried on by many of our missionaries amongst the English-speaking native students in several of the great centres of education was reported upon at considerable length in the Annual Report for 1896. It will be well, however, briefly to refer to this special work as carried on during the past year. Perhaps at the present time no branch of mission work is more interest« ing or promising than the work amongst young educated natives. A veteran missionary thus refers to this subject “ English-speaking mission work amongst the educated natives is becoming day by day more important. English secular education is doing a vast and wonderful work of destruction in India, but nothing more. It destroys all manner of super stition, but leaves the native mind blank, without giving it anything in the place of the old religion. Thousands of young Bengal natives pass the University examinations. The country is literally swarming with them, and they are by no means indisposed to hear the Gospel, provided they can hear it from one whom they consider educationally qualified to preach to such young men as themselves. At present they are, for the most part, infidels, yet they are very different from European infidels. They have no deep antagonism to Jesus Christ and His Gospel; the only prejudice they have is a national one.”
The Rev. Wm. Carey, of Barisal, writes
“ Barisal is a students’ centre. Here are two colleges and three collegiate schools teaching altogether fifteen hundred boys. The time to see them at work is at noon, when the tarred doorways of the long school-house verandahs, facing the road, shine with the olive tints of their faces and the. soft white of their shawls. The teachers sit on chairs placed at each threshold, and their backs are towards us as we drive rapidly by. But the boys’ eyes follow us along, and there are many you would be sure to love if you got to know them. The Preaching Hall.—The Preaching Hall has been regularly lighted up on Sunday evening. My list of English lectures totals thirty-five. Four of these were specially addressed to lawyers on ‘ The Case for Jesus Christ, Bon of God.’ Eight 1897.] ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTH REPORT. 8 $ others dealt with ‘ Bible Verdicts ’ on particular men ; and the rest have covered such subjects as: ‘ The Holy Spirit,’ ‘ The Church,’ 1 The Solitary Eminence of Christ,’ ‘ A Personal Saviour,’ ‘ The Atonement,’ ‘ Regeneration,’ ‘ The Story of Resurrection Day,’ and ‘ Christ in Glory.’ “ My Study.—Interviews with inquirers and others have practically consumed all my evenings from four o’clock to eight. There is much need of the strength that comes from prayer. Not one of these many minds has been openly and wholly yielded to Christ. Not one, all through the year. Pray then ; but keep believing. Facts start up as I write, faces of one and another who, on holy memorable days, met God in this quiet room. There is no place for doubt. The Saviour will come to His own. The Good Shepherd knows His sheep, and they shall hear TTia voice ; and there shall be one Fold and one Shepherd.”
Of the special work in the great city of Dacca, carried on by the Rev. R. Wright Hay, and relinquished by him in deep sorrow in October last owing to failure of health, his colleague, the Rev. J. D. Morris, writes ;— “ As Mr. Hay had to leave for England on the 5th of October through extremely poor health, without being able to prepare a report, I write something about his work during the past year. I am a little afraid of not being able to do justice to Mr. Hay in reporting upon the various branches of the work done by him, because no one is more competent to write about a work than the worker himself. Still, I will endeavour to say what I know :—(1) In Mr. Hay’s previous report it will be seen that he used to have a Bible-class twice a week for the students in Dacca, but in order to reach a larger number of students, and to have separate classes for different grades of students, he arranged, from the 1st of July, to have no less than five classes, each lasting for half an hour, five evenings a week—viz., Monday to Friday; on Saturday the number of classes was less. (2) Beside the regular Bible-classes, he gave instruc tion to students who preferred to read the Bible with him at other hours privately. (3) Mr. Hay has also had Gospel meetings in the hall erected by the road-side, with the help of Babu Bimalananda Nag, as often as he had opportunity to hold them. (4) Every Sunday evening he preached to audiences, composed oliiefly of students, in the English Chapel, in which he had usually conducted Sunday morning ser vices for the Mission party and a few Christian friends from outside. (5) Mr. Hay has also frequently had personal talks both with students and respectable native gentlemen of the city, chiefly Brahmos, Some from among this class have been deeply impressed with the truth as it is in Jesus, but through the nsidious snares of the adversary have not accepted the truth thus far. (6) Another important branch of Mr. Hay’s work has been the editing of The. Evangelist, a. paper full of Gospel truth, issued once a month and very widely circulated. I may mention here that since Mr. Hay’s departure to England, Mr. Rylands Brown, of Darjeeling, has very kindly undertaken to edit the paper at least for a time. (7) The Students’ Welfare Associa* tion in Dacca owes both its existence and continuance to the energy and devotion of Mr. Hay, who would have nothing to do with it if liberty of speech were withheld in the meetings. He and his associate in this work, Babu Bimalananda Nag, have availed themselves of this liberty in preaching Christ to the large gatherings that generally take place in connection with the meetings of this association. (8) The last but not the least important part of Mr. Hay’s work which I can refer to in this report is that connected with the Dacca Mission Lending Library. Numbers of whole' some books, chiefly of a religious nature, which Mr. Hay got out from England through the kindness of Christian friends, are token and read by students who. perhaps, othtr- ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTH REPORT. [1897.
■wire would be reading the trashy books so prevalent nowadays which tend to corrupt the morals of young men. I have thus briefly gone through the chief departments of work done by my dear colleague, whose breakdown in health is chiefly, if not solelyi due to the fact that he laboured in this enervating climate of Dacca with a degree of devotion and earnestness that was quite beyond his strength. No doubt the Lord will receive such labour as ‘ ointment poured forth.’ Should our brother not be able to return to India, we are sure that he will be comforted with the thought that G-od used him during his comparatively short term of service here in leading some to a knowledge of TTimsftlf who are left, in his stead, to witness for the Master.”
MISSION MEDICAL WORK.
The reports of mission medical work for the past year indicate very unmistakably the great value and importance of medical and surgical skill as auxiliaries to the preaching of the Gospel. The Rev. Gogon Chunder Dutt, writing from Khoolna, Bays : —
“ The more I grow in experience the more constantly I find the medical work a great help in preaching the Gospel efficiently among our countrymen. Medical work removes the enmity from the heart of the unbelieving against Christianity, and prepares the soul to receive the Gospel message. In cholera season I made three tours, visited churches, conducted several D. U. Shobbha (revival meetings), and distributed medicines to the cholera and other patients. Thousands have been benefited by our medicines, and the people most thoroughly appreciated our labour of love in the most trying season of the year in the Soonderbuns. The heat was intense, the water of the river black, and that of the tanks foul. “ At Khoolna, when the cholera season commenced, a son of one of our native judges was attacked. He was under the treatment of the Civil surgeon. I visited the young man, and offered prayer, in which everyone in the house joined, and I gave preventive medicine. One of the members of the family informed me that my prayer did great good to the patient. When I visit a Hindu patient in his house I pray for him, and the people make no objection. In four months there have been 5,500 deaths by cholera in the district of Khoolna. This medical knowledge has been a powerful help to me as a preacher of Christ’s Gospel.”
Prom Rungpore, a very fever-stricken district of Northern Bengal, the Rev. J. Ellison reports : — “ As this town and district are particularly unhealthy we have repeated applications for medicine. Some come long distances, and we have had numerous testimonies to the benefits received. Our object being to benefit the soul as well as the body, we have had a large number of dispensary forms printed with suitable texts on the front, and a few lines on the back for the name, village, &c., of the applicant. The texts we often use to form the basis of a short address on the power of Christ to heal the sickness of the soul. We charge one pice each for the forms, which help to pay for the printing. This plan of having printed forms is not our own, but is practised in other places, and from oHr experience we would recommend it to any of our mis sionaries who give away medicine. Certainly medical knowledge is of great assistance to our work as evangelists.” 1897.] ONE H1TNDBED AND FIFIH BEPOBT. 37
From Delhi the Rev. H. E. Crudgington reports :— “ In the dispensary work I have, as far as possible, myself given Evangelistic Gospel addresses daily, closing with prayer. In this Saul David has also taken part. The figures themselves speak pretty well for the work which Saul David has had in connection with the dispensary, besides which he has many things to see after in connection with the Native Church. He is a most valuable man in dispensary and other mission work. “ I have also had the health of the Zenana Boarding School girls to look after during the absence of Miss Thorn in England. In our own Mission and the B. Z. M. there have been one or two cases of illness, and. though not very serious, they have taken time and attention, and with other things have kept one fully occupied.

In Piilwal also good work has been carried on by E. C. Joshua and his wife, the former holding a medical diploma from the Lahore University. Dr. F. Vincent Thomas, our medical missionary in Kharrar, associated with the Rev. G. Anstie Smith, whose report for the past year has not as yet been received, has been unremittingly at work in his large and widely scattered district, and has gained golden opinions from the peoples amongst which he labours.
TRANSLATION AND LITERARY WORK,
THE CALCUTTA AND CUTTACK MISSION PRESSES
THE CALCUTTA PRINTING PRESS.
The Rev. G. H. Rouse, M.A., D.D., sends the following report of translation and literary work during the past year :—
My report this year relates almost exclusively to the progress of the revision of the Bengali Bible. We have been pressing on with this, in order to finish the revision and the printing by the close of the year, or very shortly after, and I hope we shall be able to accomplish this. At present we have printed off the sheets up to Luke xvi., and the matter is in type up to 1 Cor. xiv. We have paid special attention to the Gospels, as they are read more than any other part, through their wide distri' bution in a separate form, and because of the immense importance of their subject matter. We have had in this part of the Bible, as in other parts, to think both ol the masses and of the educated. For the former we need to be as simple as possible, and for the latter we have to aim at producing that which will sound sweetly, this 38 ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTH REPORT. [1897. latter aim being a desirable object in regard to the masses also. We have acted on the principle, therefore, of using, as far as possible, the simplest Sadhu Bhasha, so as to be as simple as we can, without using low language. “ In regard to the N. T. text, we have adopted that of the English R. V .; but we also insert, in brackets, all those clauses which the R. V. puts in the margin, but not in the text. “ We have commenced the Commentary on Exodus for the Calcutta Tract Society, and have proceeded up to ch. xvi. But the pressure of the revision work prevented my doing any more to it. The same may be said of the Mussulman-Bengali Tracts which I have been wishing to write ; I have written aone during the year. I have prepared the Bengali Sunday-school Lessons, as last year, and have also arranged for the Monthly Messenger. The Zenana Leaflets, I am thankful to say, have been in the hands of a lady, and of one as competent as is Mrs. Kerry. “ If my life is spared a few years longer, I should like to put to the Bible-revision any final touches which experience or criticism may show to be needful, prepare the somewhat longer notes and references to the B. T. S. Bible recommended by the Conference of 1893, alter the Scripture Portions published by the B. T. S. in accordance with the revised text, go on with the Old Testament Commentary, and prepare more M. B. Tracts. ‘ And this will we do, if God permit.’ “ The tracts I have written on the Church of England controversy are now finished, for the present at least, and they have been done up together, under the title ‘ The Church of England, and the Teaching of Scripture.’ We have issued some tracts on ‘ Church Topics,’ written by our brother Ram Chunder Ghose.”

Thomas Bftiley reports as to progress in the revision of the Oriya scriptures:— “ In the work of Bible revision we reported last year that ‘copy’ had beun prepared i o ONE HtJHDBED AND FiFlH BEPOBT.
to 2 Chronicles ii. 10, and that printing had proceeded to 1 Chronicles xxvi. 28. Copy has now been prepared to the end of Job, and printing has proceeded to Job xxiv. 13. This shows substantial progress. As a little more than half of the whole of the Old Testament had been completed when we reached the end of the Second Book of Chronicles, and copies are greatly needed, we applied to the Calcutta Auxiliary Bible Society and obtained permission to bind up 200 volumes, labelling them Part I. This gives us a handy and attractive volume of 508 pages, and will be specially useful in the public services, and in the colleges and other institutions of the Mission. Our constant aim has been to use language understood by the common people, and with this end in view we have frequently rejected Sanskrit terms, which might have been more acceptable to those sufficiently learned to appreciate them, and have used others more certainly intelligible to the general reader. Our brother, Mr. Vaughan, has continued to go over each proof carefully as it passed through the Press, and Mr. Young has also contributed a number 'of helpful suggestions. “ Dr. Bouse has continued to send us in advance the proof Bheets of his new revision of the Bengali Bible, which we have found useful for constant reference ; and our special acknowledgments are again due to Professor T. Witton Davies, B.A., of the Midland Baptist College, Nottingham, for supplying us with the best critical and exegetical works obtainable on the different books as we have needed them. “ The Calcutta Auxiliary of the British and Foreign Bible Society has made us the usual annual grant of Rs.500 for expenses connected with the work, and R.s.60 additional, the Pundit’s allowance having been increased by Rs.5 per month. The paper and cost of printing are generously provided by the same Society. The work continues to engross our most careful and earnest efforts to provide for the millions of Orissa a version of the Sacred Word which shall not merely convey the mind of the Spirit, but shall do so in u . m both attractive and easily understood.”
The Rev. John Vaughan writes :— “ Throughout the year I have attended to the publication of Christian literature and tracts, and have also carefully compared the proofs of the revised Oriya Old Testament with the English revised version. It is a matter of thankfulness that the Tract Committee has presented several books for children during the past few years. This year Mrs. Bate’s ‘ Story of Jesus ’ has been printed, and will, I trust, be a favourite with both Christian and Hindu children. It contains a good number of pictures, and is written in simple language. Mr. Heberlet has again revised his ‘ Life of Christ’ and ‘ Way of Salvation’ ; Brother Shem Sahu has in hand the revision of two of his own works, and has undertaken to revise the Oriya translation of the ‘ Pilgrim’s Progress.’ Brother Doli Patra has been engaged in revising the ‘ Peep of Day’ and reading proofs. The Oriya Hymn-book has appeared, newly arranged by Mr. Heberlet, and the names of all the authors appended for the first time. I have helped to pass the above works through the Press, and have also assisted Mr. Young in the publication of a revised Oriya Grammar. There is so little Oriya literature, and what there is savours of Hinduism so strongly, that the necessity of healthy Christian books for the young cannot easily be overstated.”

CIRCULAR ROAD CHURCH, CALCUTTA-
T he report of the Circular Road Church for the past year is one of steady work and encouraging progress. One very cheering feature of the work of the year is the addition to the church roll of fourteen new members, six of whom were received by baptism. The numbers in attendance at the Sunday-school have been somewhat 42 ONE HUNDRED AND t'lt'tH BEPOBI.
larger than in former years, the increase being more marked in the classes of the little ones, both girls as well as boys. The progress in the Christian Endeavour Society has been very marked, the number on the roll at the end of November standing at forty, while the meetings have been carried on with spirit and earnestness. The Julian Hall, which was built in 1894, and is now quite clear of debt, has proved exceedingly useful for the purpose, not only of lectures and social meetings, but also for the Sunday-school, which has been held in the hall from the commencement of the year to the manifest advantage of teachers and scholars.
LAL BAZAAR CHURCH, CALCUTTA- The Rev. G. H. Hook, the pastor, reports :— “ We are glad to say that the debt for repairing the chapel is paid. It has been a struggle, but the struggle is over. The greater part of collecting the money fell on the pastor. The church collected Rs. 1,000, and the pastor Rs. 4,000, making in all Rs. 5,000. During the past year we have added eleven to. the church, and six by baptism. Our congregations are very good. At times we have had the chapel crowded, and our week-night services have been well attended. We rejoice that our people are true to the old Gospel we love to preach, for it is the power of God unto their salvation.”
ACRA, Ji.W.P. PASTORATE VACANT.
The late Pastor, the Rev. W. Cullen, reports :— “ The attendance at the Sunday services has fluctuated a good. deal. The Parade service for Nonconformist troops in the garrison has been fairly well attended. “ Our evening service has not been so large as we could have wished, a number of our friends having left the station. At our prayer meetings after the evening ser vice, we have had the joy of pointing some to the Saviour. “ The week night services have been carried on as usual. Our ‘ Christian Endea vour ’ meeting has been held every Wednesday. These meetings have been a very great source of blessing to us. The average attendance has been about 27. “ The Friday nights ‘ Gospel Temperance’ meeting has been encouraging. “ The Hospital has been visited very frequently, and suitable tracts, periodicals, &c., have been given away. Our Christian Endeavour Society endeavours to have flowers sent round once a week, which are gladly received. “ Several large meetings have been held in connection with the Gospel Temperance Association. “ Tundla, 14 miles from Agra, has been visited by the pastor very often. The people are visited in their homes and invited to the service held in the Railway Institute. “ The membership numbers 38. We have had one death and one transfer.

The Rev. F. D. Waldock, reporting upon the work in the Colombo district during the past year, writes :—
“ During the absence of the Rev. W. D. Hankinson, of Sabaragamuwa, I have frad to take over the charge of two districts, and in consequence have had my time very fully occupied in administration work. I have also given muoh time and careful attention to the revision of the Singhalese New Testament, which I am now happy to report is within measurable distance of completion, the actual printing having been commenced. “ Looking back, there are two things on which I specially congratulate myself, and for which I tVin.n1r God—one, the help I have been enabled to render in training students, of whom a good number have become able ministers, who have my warm regard ; the other, the success that has followed many years of anxious toil to build up our churches and at length to bring them to the position of self-support, in pursuance of the wholesome resolution of the Committee which required them to assume it. This, the more, as I most emphatically believe that well-organised and disciplined spiritual churches are at once the gauge of our success and our hope for the future. “ In the Colombo district, as will be seen from the statistics, we have 290 Church members; 2,381 day scholars, of whom 804 are girls and 1,577 boys; and 934 Sunday-school scholars, with eighty teachers.” 4 4 ONE HUliDB'ED AND FIFTH REPORT.

The Rev. A. McCallum, M.A., B.D., is still engaged in the study of the Singhalese language, and has not yet passed his final examination. The Rev. W. D. Hankinson is at present on a visit to this country, the Committee having requested him to come home for a brief season, with a view to conference as to future arrangement for the Mission.
COLOMBO JiATIYE CHRISTIAN GIRLS' BOARDING SCHOOL.
In pursuance of the intimation given in 1895, in reference to the Colombo Native Christian Girls’ Boarding School, the Committee report with much thankfulness that they have appointed Miss Helen Moodie, of Luton, to educational work in connection with this important and useful Institution. Miss Moodie is a thoroughly well-equipped teacher of considerable experience, as well as a true missionary enthusiast of fine spirit, and has entered upon the duties of her new sphere with great earnestness and promise. Mrs. Waldock, who for so many years past has been at the head of the school, and conducted it with so much wisdom, devotion, and success, reports:—
“ Once more, and probably for the last time, I have the opportunity of giving an account of our work in the Boarding School. “ We must acknowledge God’s goodness in helping us through many difficulties, and enabling us to carry on our work, however feebly. “ Owing to my continued ill-health, the number of scholars has decreased somewhat, but the progress of the pupils was on the whole satisfactory, as shown by the Government Examination. We were able to find help locally to supply my lack of service, so that I do not think there has been any falling off in secular education. “ The spiritual results have not been so encouraging as in some former years, though there has been a great increase in earnestness of late, so that at the end of the year our native minister was able to report twelve inquirers. “ On November the 4th Miss Moodie arrived to take charge of the school, to our great relief and joy. She is diligently prosecuting her studies in the language, and has taken up the teaching with vigour, and seems to find great pleasure in her work. We trust the Good Shepherd will greatly bless her labours, so that in the future this school may be the source of much greater good than in the past. I have been cheered by hearing lately of one and another of my old pupils being the centre of good influence in their villages, so that we feel that our labour has not been in vain in the Lord. “ May I ask for the continuance of the prayers of those who take an interest in tiki» school, that the Holy Spirit may descend in showers of blessing in the
CINNAMON CARDENS ENGLISH BAPTIST CHURCH.
The pastor of this church, the Rev. T. J. Stockley, supplies the following report of the past year’s work:—
“ The work of the past year in connection with the Cinnamon Gardens Church has been very dull and disheartening. For the first time in my experience as a pastor I have to report a decrease (happily only of one) in the membership, and I need scarcely say that I do it now with inexpressible pain. However, we thank God that the year 1897 has opened with very considerable promise. By the time these lines meet the eye of the English reader, we hope to see some eight or nine persons added to the Church by baptism. There is also an exceedingly good work going on at present amongst the men of the North Lancashire Regiment, now stationed in Colombo, and many of these are becoming converted. We praise God for this. “ In February of the present -year (1897) it was our privilege and joy to open the new Ferguson Memorial Hall erected in our own compound behind the church. This admirable hall has been built under the able direction of the Rev. F. D. Waldock, in memory of the late A. M. Ferguson, Esq., and is the handsome gift of the family and near relatives of our late esteemed and valued friend. The hall is to be used chiefly for the Sunday-school work, but it will be found of great service for other gatherings as well. ‘;In connection with our village mission work, begun at Mabodella in 1895, we rejoice to report blessing. But we have to mention changes. Early in the year (1896) we found it necessary to remove from Mabodella to the village of Alutgama, near Henaratgoda; and Miss Hucksted, the worker who was largely supported by the Y.W.C.A., has withdrawn from the work, having become matron of the Lady Havelock Hospital in Colombo. But Miss Boorman, our own worker, has bravely toiled on alone (the only European in the village), and her efforts are being richly blessed. We desire to thank our friends and supporters in England, Ceylon, and elsewhere, for their continued practical interest in this work, and we would ask them to unite with us in.prayer that another worker may soon be found to assist Mias Boorman in her brave but lonely battle with heathenism.”
SELF-SUPPORTING NATIVE CHRISTIAN CHURCHES. # The report from the pastors of the various self-supporting native Christian churches are encouraging. At Grand Pass, Colombo, the pastor, Mr. J. S. Perera, writes:— “ The children in the Sunday-school have raised Rs. 180, and purchased a harmonium as a memorial of the late beloved superintendent, Mr. W C. Perera. The teachers and scholars have also commenced a day-school for the very poor children of the neighbourhood, meeting all the expense out of their own gifts. There are at present thirty-seven children in attendance.”
At Colombo South :— “ Cottage meetings, open-air services, hospital visitation, beggars’ mission, and other services are doing1 good work." 4 6 ONE HTTNDBED AND FIFTH BEPO'RT. [1897.
At Kotikawatta, the Pastor writes :— “ One by one our older members are being called to their rest, leaving behind them beautiful testimonies of devoted and unselfish lives.” And Mr. Waldock adds :— “ At this station is the long projected and much needed new chapel, and I have pledged myself to see it completed before I leave Ceylon. The people are responsible for Rs. 1,000, most of which has been collected, and as I shall have to make this up to Rs. 2,500 or Rs. 3,000, if this is printed in the Annual Report, I trust some good friends will take the hint.” At G-onawala, the Pastor writes :— “ We have had much encouragement during the past year. Great earnestness has prevailed in the Church throughout the year, specially among the young. Five additions were made to the Church—three by baptism and two otherwise. There are several more who have accepted Christ as their Saviour, but have not yet joined the Church, of whom I have great hopes in the coming year. The attendance at week day prayer-meetings shows that the people have been led to understand the value of such by personal experience. Generally these meetings are attended by fifty, and of late have been conducted chiefly by members by turns, with the pastor’s assistance. -The female members of the Church gather together once a week for Bible-reading and prayer among themselves. The Sunday-school work also has been kept up well, showing a slight increase in the numbers too.” From Madampe the Pastor reports :— “ I am thankful to God to be able to record a year of great encouragement and blessing. Every year the matter of supporting the pastor is becoming easier, and the people are beginning to know practically that ‘ it is more blessed to give than to receive.’ The attendance at the Sunday services has been good ; the week-day prayer-meeting, the Bible-class, and the cottage meetings were continued. Besides the pastoral work, much of my time was spent in evangelistic work in the villages. We had the joy of admitting into church fellowship one by baptism and two by restoration.” All the reports from the native churches indicate progress and a growing realisation on the part of the members of their individual responsibility, abundantly justifying the action of the Committee in developing their independence and self-support. EVANGELISTIC WORK. Mr. Waldock also reports encouragingly of the evangelistic work at the various District and out-stations under his superintendence. At Dyiagama, Mr. Waldock says :— “ Three young persons, formerly Buddhists, who had for about two years Shown consistent piety amidst adverse circumstances, have professed Christ by baptism. The occasion, the very first of the kind in the village, was one deeply interesting and never to be forgotten. Two were scholars in the day-school.” From Kandana the Evangelist reports that he has “ travelled about 500 miles in his district, speaking to more than 2,000 people, distributing 2,700 tracts, and giving 131 public addresses, Once a fortnight he visits 1897.] ONfc tìUNDRKD AND FIFTH BEPOBt. 41
the Government dispensary. Near the, large market a weekly open-air service is held at which many people gather and listen attentively to the addresses. Generally the people, many of whom are Roman Catholics, receive him respectfully, and listen attentively to what he has to say. Our Batuwatta schools are visited, and the Sunday-school there well maintained. A room in the bazaar has been rented for the sale of books and for conversation with inquirers, and a suitable caretaker found, who helps in the work.” A full list of the various District stations occupied by our Society, with details as to schools (day and Sunday) and church membership, together with a list of. native pastors and evangelists, will be given in the large Annual Report, to be issued shortly. SABARAGAMUWA DISTRICT. RATNAPURA- The Rev. W. D. Hnnkinson has charge of the work of the Mission in this district, undertaking also evangelistic work and periodic visitation amongst the churches and schools of the Low Country district; Mr. Hankinson has supplied the following report :— “ As I Was summoned to England early in October, I cannot give a full year’é report. From January to October my time and attention were divided between thé work of the Sabaragamuwa district and the visitation of churches and schools in the low country. This arrangement necessarily caused me a good deal of travelling, and brought me into touch with a large number of our stations. “ In my visits to the low country, I was pleased to observe the condition of thè churches. In the August Herald, I gave an account of a chance visit to a self- supporting Church, in which I was able to report a very hopeful condition of things. When the churches were delivered from their finanoial dependence upon the Missionary Society a few years ago, there was some fear lest they should collapse. Some of them, undoubtedly, have discovered' how very weak they are now that foreign financial support has been withdrawn. But, indeed, this consciousness of their own we&kness is perhaps just what was necessary ; for it has led them to seek their strength from the right source ; it has taught them that a Church is only strong in proportion as the epiritual life of its individual members is real and deep. “ The most hopeful work in which I have been able to assist has been in connection with the Ceylon Baptist Union. This Union was formed in 1895, in order to bring the Churches into close touch with one another. Accounts have been given in the Herald of the half-yearly meetings which are held in connection with this Union. Friends ‘ who wish to refer to these accounts will find them in the Heralds of October, 1895, and September, 1896. My hope for the future is centred in this Union of the supporting churches, and in the development of a purely native missionary agency, supported entirely by the native Church. “ Personally; I look forward to the day, when not only the pastors of the churches, but also the evangelists labouring in outlying districts, shall be sent forth and supported by their own countrymen. It has appeared to me for some time that this is the method really likely to promote the true progress of the Gospel among tho people, and to promote the disinterested service of the native Church, 5 48 Olfil HUNDRED AND f l f i i REPORT.
“ Reviewing the work which has been done during the past year in the Sabaragamuwa Province, there is nothing to report of success or visible results. The work of the schools has been maintained, though strong influence is brought to bear upon Buddhist parents to refuse to send their children. Open-air preaching has been carried on in Ratnapura, Rakwana, and Balangoda. “ Until my departure for England in October, I was accustomed, whenever in Ratnapura, to conduct an English service in the chapel on Sunday evenings. These services were well attended by many of the Eurasian aud educated Singhalese residents of the town, and this I looked upon as the most encouraging part of the work. I was sorry that my summons to England interrupted these services, but as those who attended were nearly all nominal Christians, it was perhaps not such purely missionary work as we deem to be most important. “ Of the district of Sabaragamuwa, I may say, generally, that it is perhaps an exceptionally difficult field for mission work. A large proportion of the people are living on temple-lands, and so are required to render annual service to the temples.”
THE KANDY DISTRICT. The Rev. H. A. Lapham, who is in charge of the work in the Kandy and Matale districts, reporting on the
SELF-SUPPORTING NATIVE CHRISTIAN CHURCHES, Writes :— “ All our churches are Independent of the Society and conduct their own services. These services have been fairly well maintained all the year through. During the latter six months we have seen a great increase of activity and earnestness as the result of the establishment of our Sabhabhiwardhi or Church Progress Association. This is a voluntary union of the Baptist churches of this district carried out on the simplest of plans and aiming at the most practical results. We have an all-day meeting once a quarter in our stations in rotation. There is a ^business meeting at 8 a.m.. followed by Lord’s Supper at 10 a.m.; the visitors breakfast together at 11.30, and go in bands to visit the homes'of local brethren in the afternoon ; then street preaching at 4.30 and a public meeting in the chapel at G p.m. Mr. C. M. Henry, of Kidugannawa, is president for the year, and Mr. Dharmakirtti, of Matale, vice-president. It is too early to prophesy, but the two quarterly meetings already held and the heartiness with which even our smallest churches are throwing themselves into the movement are indicative of our new association having gripped the people as nothing has done before. One great point achieved is that the association has undertaken to be responsible for all services conducted in our chapels, whether evangelistic or for church worship. The agents of the mission will therefore no longer conduct any regular services in our places of worship. A preachers’ plan is being prepared to carry this out. “ Sunday Afternoon English Lccturcs.—Following up the course given at the end of 1895 on the History of the Times of our Lord, I have given another course of six lectures, in our Kandy chapel, on ‘ The Church in the Apostolic Days.’ Though not controversial in form, these lectures have been a set-off against the Romish aud Anglican pretentions that are so energetically being pushed forward in Ceylon in these days. Unless we train our thoughtful young people in a reasonable attachment, based on historical facts, to the truths we as Free Churchmen hold dear, we must be prepared to see the wholesale transference of Baptists to the Anglican fold witnessed 1897.] ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTH REPOST.
in the Sunderbunds repeated in other fields. That a course of six lfectuies on such a subject should have secured a fair attendance all through (and sometimes in spite of truly awful weather) is matter for congratulation ; that these audiences invariably included Anglicans, Romanists, and Buddhists, as well aB Baptists, Wesleyans, and Presbyterians is still more so.”
EVANGELISTIC WORK AND SCHOOLS. Reporting on evangelistic work, Mr. Lapliam writes :— “ We still occupy the four centres—Kandy, Matale. (xainpbla, and Kaduganiiawa, Perhaps it is not too much to hope that one of the two students who will finish their training in July next will be allotted to this district, and that we sftaTI thus be enabled to open up fresh ground. The time seems to me to have come when we must make Kalugastota a separate station. It is'good ^neither for Kandy'nor Efc that they be longer worked in conjunction. Before next Conference our District Committee must seriously consider also the question of our still maintaining a native evangelist at Kadugannawa. We have had various men at work there for the last twenty years with practically no visible results. Rattota. on the other hand, is a place froni which we have gathered considerable fruit, but which has never been made into a station. I believe that an earnest and physically strong man would be very effective there.” Referring to the native evangelists, Mr. Lapliam says :— “ I have again to record the earnestness and heartiness with which I have been assisted by my four evangelists. Another year of thoroughly harmonious co-opera-« tion is a matter of gratitude ; the spirit of their work has been most excellent. These brethren have been especially helpful to me in council and active in executive; without them I could not possibly have carried on all the various work I have had to superintend.”
From the reports of the evangelists it is abundantly clear that in many instances they have met with very bitter opposition from the Buddhist priests. The brethren have engaged in many forms of evangelistic work, public preaching in town and village, private visits and conversations, tract distribution, hospital visitation, street and public road addresses, and at small household gatherings. With regard to school work, Mr. Lapham writes :— “ We greatly need the adoption of some good scheme for the retention of elder soholars; special Sunday services in addition to Sunday-school instruction in con nection with each of our day schools. “ At present, as soon as a child leaves the day school it ceases, as a rule, to attend Sunday-school, too, and so drifts away from us. We must give special attention to this important question.”
TRAINING OF NATIVE STUDENTS. On this important work Mr. Lapham reports that:— “ Brethren Markus and Peiris passed in July their second year’s examination, ana. Mr. Gunasekera his first year examination, all with great credit. Since then tha 6* ONE HUNDRED .'AND P lIlH REPORT.
first-named two students have been doing third-year work, and the last named second year work with me. I could teach a larger -number with no more labour than I expend on these three students ; but I am content, for we ought to bestow this special training only on picked men. One or two native ministers and teachers have also been faking instruction from me in special subjects.”

SHANTUNG PROVINCE. The Rev. Alfred G. Jones has removed from Chou-P’ing to Ching Chou Fu specially with a view to render much*needed assistance in the Gotch- Robinson Training Institution. Brethren Drake and NickallB, after a season of furlough at home, have returned to Shantung. The various reports relative to the work of the past year in Shantung.

CHING CHOU FU.
During the absence in England on furlough of the Rev. J. Percy Bruce, B.A., the superintendence of the Native Christian Church has been'- undertaken by the Rev. R. C. Forsyth, whose report is as follows :—
THE NATIYE CHRISTIAN CHURCH- “ The condition of the Native Christian Church is not very satisfactory. There is a good deal of coldness and apathy which are very trying. The number admitted to membership by baptism is considerably smaller than last year, and the loss from death and exclusion is larger, so that we have only one as nett increase ; and there has also been a falling off in subscriptions for Church purposes. Various' OWE HUNDRED AND FIFTH REPORT. 51'
reasons might be assigned for this, none sufficient in themselves, but combined perhaps accounting for the result. The war scare and troubles last year have, no doubt, had their after-effects in this year. Great care is exercised in admitting to membership, and greater vigilance has boon shown, in discipline, which may account to some extent for the result; but after all is said, the present condition of affairs is hot encouraging.

“ C o n f e r e n c e s . “ Two of our native pastors accompanied Mr, Jones to Peking to attend a eon- ference for the deepening of spiritual life. As neither of these men had ever been so far from home before, it was a most interesting and helpful experience to them io every way. -“Two of our native brethren visited by invitation our friends of the American Baptist Mission, three days’ journey east of us. The occasion was the Annua] Meetings, which were much enjoyed and a good impression made. “ I visited also by invitation, along with a native brother representing the Church, the Annual Meetings of our Presbyterian neighbours, and spoke on the words of our Saviour, ‘ That they all may be one.’ The exhortation was well received by foreigners and natives alike. An effort was made to deepen interest in our Sunday■> school work by having a Convention of Sunday-school teachers. About fifty persons attended, and we hope for good results. “ Mrs. Forsyth, in conjunction with the other ladies of the Mission, has interested herself iriopening sohools for girls, One of these schools is in our own compound, and is attended on the average by a dozen day scholars. This school is supported by friends who are connected with Frederick Street Baptist Church, Glasgow. Su? other sohools iri as many villages have been opened during the year in our district, and there are now in all about fifty girls under instruction. Of course the teaching is' very elementary, as the teachers themselves need to be taught; but a beginning has been made arid improvement may be hoped for. “ Women’s classes have been held in six different centres, a week-being1 spent at; 52 ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTH REPORT. [1897. each centre, and instruction given to the Christian -women who were able to attend. The Christians assembled in the morning, and in the afternoon visits were paid to the women in their homes or to neighbouring villages, and in the evening evangelistic services were held for the benefit of the heathen. In one centre six or seven women have become inquirers or ‘ learners,’ as they are called, as a result of this work. Special, arid in a good many cases successful, efforts have been made to induce the women to unbind their feet.” The Rev. Alfred G. Jones, who has been labouring so assiduously for gome time past to teach the Chinese the great advantages to be derived from the introduction and working of Western machinery in the manufac ture especially of cotton goods, and who with such unobtrusive generosity has not only borne all the cost of such experiments, but the maintenance of himself and family as well, writes :— “ About this time last year I was under orders to leave Chou-P’ing and come to this city. The preparations for moving my family and plant were occupying my time and attention to a considerable extent, the plant being a very much heavier item than the family, and one exceedingly difficult to deal with, owing to the poor kind of conveyances we have out here. However, all the machinery I had constructed, all that was in hand, and all my working plant, had to be dealt with, together with materials and appliances, the whole amounting to about seven or eight hundred packages. The very packing, weighing, invoicing, receiving, re-storing, and watching was no small thing in itself. “ Meanwhile, thanks to the very gracious and effective assistance of Mr. Forsyth, my house was being put into repair for me at Ching Chou Fu, leaving me not only free for the other work, but with a perfectly free hand as soon as I arrived here about the end of April with my wife and children. “ As soon as I decided to come here, I also decided that what I came here for should have the best of my time and the first place in my plans—namely, theological teach ing in the Institution, and I accordingly proceeded to act on that principle. Within a few days of my arrival I resumed my long-interrupted preparation of lectures, and, when the autumn session began, commenced to teach, so that that work is now fairly under way, as intended. It is a work which in one’s own country, and amid one’s native circumstances, anyone might feel the excessive difficulty and responsibility of, but which, in this country, certainly, makes the boldest hold his breath and ask who is sufficient for the duty. Want of success will certainly not be from want of realising this. “ Necessarily the use of one’s energy in two spheres b o widely differing as the mechanical and the theological is both wearing and unsatisfactory, and could not be long kept up ; for the present year there however is no way but to wrench from the inferior by iron resolution the time necessary for the superior claim. I say for the present, because I am beginning to see what I may call the end of this double work. I would not, at this stage, venture to speak too certainly as to my ultimate success, b o must confine myself to saying that most of these efforts show the promise o effectiveness, and have worked themselves out satisfactorily; and if I say anything further, it is this, that so far we have not met any difficulties that have not yielded to patient effort, and all my expectations have been fulfilled. Success, of course, means a good deal more than mechanical achievement, but of that I have had more promise too, especially in the improved morale of my men and the lesser occurrence of spoiled work. 1897.] ONE HT7NDBED AND FIFTH BEPOBT. 5 3
“ Some few days ago I completed my twentieth year of missionary work in fhia province. There has been a great advance in the establishment of Christianity during these years no doubt; but there will have to be greater advances in many respects—in what we are doing and in what the home churches do for us, and I hope that when the way is clear and the call realised, the future will show better and greater things than ever. Most certainly it ought to.”
THE GOTCH-ROBINSON NATIVE CHRISTIAN TRAINING INSTITUTION AT CHING CHOU FU.
Tlie Rev. J. S. Whitewright, the principal of this Institution, reports as follows:— “ The number of students at the close of last year in the Training Institute was sixty-two. At Chinese New Year, a month hence, thirteen men who have taken the short course of three years in order to further fit them as preachers and workers at their own stations, will leave us. We earnestly hope that they will be of much use in their own districts. After they leave we expect to add twelve new men who have been accepted on probation. Work has been carried on during the year as usual, the only new feature being the commencement of Lectures on Systematic Theology by Mr. Jones with the full course men. The conduct and progress of the students has on the whole been very satis factory. Evangelistic work has been carried on by them, as in former years, on Sundays and at other times. Daily preaching has been re-arranged in the afternoons at the Dispensary under Dr. Watson’s charge, and has been carried on by senior students in turn. Leaders’ classes were held for three weeks in the spring, and again for the same time in the autumn. Several members of the Mission took part in these, and effective assistance was also rendered by senior students. About sixty men attended these classes each time, and we have good reason to believe that they were much helped in what is to many of them a life of lonely toil at their little stations. “ The total number of visits to the museum was 104,055. During the summer, while a festival was being held in the city which is usually attended largely by women, over 6,000 women, for the most part pilgrims, visited the museum, being first received by ladies of the Mission and the Bible-women in the guest room. Several of the ‘ Lay Preacher ’ students, who are now leaving us, without any suggestion from us, gave as much time as they could possibly spare to preaching to them, and they as well as the ladies were attentively listened to. We are very thankful to have th§ opportunity of reaching so many of this class.”
THE NATIYE CHRISTIAN BOYS’ NORMAL SCHOOL
AND ' VILLAGE DAY SCHOOLS. The Rev. Samuel Oouling, who has charge of the Native Christian Boys’ Normal School, and of the schools in the district of Ching Chou Fu, writes:— “ School began in February, 1896, with sixty-nine boys.

The amount of work done during the year has therefore been somewhat less than usual. Owing to this report being late I am able to give you the results of the examinations held at the year’s end, as well as the results of the previous year’s work which oould not be given in my last report. I, therefore, give in tabular form the parses in the two j^ars’ examinations in all subjects. Several boys left at the end of the three gears’ course, and one who oompleted the six years’ course is now helping Dr. Watson as dispenser. ‘I The payments for food were slightly higher than in previous years, which is very satisfactory, remembering that the school year was shortened. “ Tlje new impulse which China has to learn English has affeoted us here, and the Committee may as well be warned that however we stave it off. the question will be pressed on us more and more. “ The village day-schools for the year were twenty-four with 261 children. The feel ing—which I have frequently mentioned in my reports—that this work is both unsatis factory as it stands and difficult to improve, is being shown more and more in many Missions. Mr. Jones has published a ‘ New Method Reader,’ which has been well received, and which promises to help matters considerably, though we must wait a year or two for the results,

MISSIONARY MEDICAL WORK. The following report on missionary medical work is rendered by Dr. Bussell Watson, of the Ching Chou Fu Mission Hospital:— “ After my return from England I was engaged for a time in rebuilding part of the hospital compound. We have now new well-built rooms suitable for consulting, and operating-rooms, dispensary, and pharmaceutical laboratory. The convenience of these help materially to the carrying on successfully of the work. “ In our large waiting-room we have a daily service at noon, lasting about one hour and a half. In addition to the hospital evangelist, who is always present, the senior students of the Theological Institute come in turns, two each day, and give short addresses to and converse with their fellow-countrymen. In this way the good seed of the Kingdom is scattered far and wide. It is common to see there patients listening who have come thirty English miles to the east of this city, sitting along with others who have come from say ninety miles to the north-west of us. “ We have commenced systematic itinerating medical evangelistic work in the out* lying districts of the counties of I Fu and Lin Chii, where at present no churches are established, distant twenty-five to thirty-five miles from here. Our plan is to leave home on a fixed day, the 15th of the moon by preference, because this gives us the help of the full moon if overtaken in work or travel at night. Having previously scattered notices where we shall be on certain days, we visit these centres, usually part-of an inn hired for the day, accompanied by an assistant with our travelling dispensary and several Christians who have volunteered their services. The sick folk begin to arrive early accompanied by their friends. A small ticket is given to them on arrival, and they then sit down in the inn yard and patiently wait their turn to be seen. In these inn yards in the open air many get their first impressions of the Gospel. The service from the circumstances must needs be irregular, nevertheless while we are engaged dealing with the sick, one by one, quietly in an inner room, Christ as the healer of the sin-sick soul is being lifted up throughout the day. There is no lack of patients in such work. The coming on of night only gives us release, n.nrl then we have to travel perhaps ten miles to keep an appointment for the follow ing day. “T a b l e o f A t t e n d a n c e d u r i n g t h e Y e a r .

CHOU-P’ING DISTRICT. THE NATIVE CHRISTIAN CHURCH. The Rev. E. W. Burt, B.A., sends the following report as to the work of the past year “ ‘ One soweth and another reapeth. Other men labored, and I have entered fotp tljeir labours.’ Such is the sun; and substance of the following report, 66 ONE HUNDRED À.ND FIFTH BEPOBX. [1897.
“ During the year I have visited all the districts of the Chou-P’ing Mission. Church work has again crowded out direct evangelistic effort on the part of the mis sionary, owing to the weakness of the foreign staff and the rapid increase of the native membership. In the spring Mr. Wills’ return relieved me of the care of the southern district, and set me free to help Mr. Harmon in the counties lying to the north, east, and weBt of this city. I have now been four years in China, and have been acting as a temporary stop-gap in the breach caused by the successive furloughs of my fellow-missionaries. While my travels have been too extensive and my efforts too raw and diffusive to tell with much effect, the experience of these four years has given me a useful knowledge of mission work in its general bearings, nor could I have wished for a better apprenticeship to any branch of the service to which I may now be called to devote the energies of a lifetime. On the return of our fellow- workers, Messrs. Drake and Nickalls, the Mission will no doubt appoint me to some district or department of work—e.g., church, educational, or evangelistic, “ THe year’s record is a very bright one. We have baptized a larger number (400) than ever received in one year before. Discipline has been enforced more generally than in any former year, yet the exclusions are comparatively few (eighteen). Statistics are sometimes misleading, but here are a few facts as to the progress of thé Chou- P’ing work. The first Christians were baptized only six years ago. Four years ago, when I came out, the membership was just over 600 ; to-day it touches 1,800 ; that is to say, the membership has trebled within four years. Four years ago there were no elders ; now there are eight elders supported by the Native Church, and these we regard as a first practical step towards a native pastorate, as established in the Ching Chou Fu district. When you compare these results with the normal rate of progress in China, you will feel that we have indeed cause to thank God and taira courage. “ The people are friendly, and there has been less serious persecution than in previous years. Many are earnestly seeking after the truth, especially among the secret sects, which honeycomb the whole province, and number in thgir ranks thoughtful men who are discontented with the barren fare of Confucianism, and hunger for something more satisfying. “ My wife continues to bend her efforts to the study of the language, but she has also found time to teach during Leaders’ classes, conduct Sunday services with the city women, organise Dorcas meetings, visit the women in their homes in and near Chou-P’ing, and make one or two tours in Mrs. Drake’s district. “ Some months ago Dr^Paterson made an appeal for Christian women to visit the hospital daily and talk to the women patients who might be waiting for treatment. We have been pleased by the ready response which the women made to this suggestion. Quite a number warmly volunteered to take up t.hiw work, each woman giving one day a week, and already many outsiders have been interested by this means, and one village we know has been opened up to receive the Gospel. To the workers themselves this voluntary service has been a real blessing, making them feel that, however poor and ignorant they may be, here is something they can do for their Saviour. I need hardly say that it means far more for a Chinese woman to come forth and boldly bear witness for her faith than it would be for a woman in Christian England to do the same,”

The Rev. Frank Harmon writes :—
“ For the first time since the Church was formed, something like systematic discipline has been administered in the majority of the counties, but in some instances it has yet to be initiated, and in others it has been but loosely enforced. There is no doubt that in our nominal membership of about 1,800, there are many names included which have no real claim to be on the roll; probably the next year or two will see most, if not all, of these names struck off the roll. “ The new eldership in the district I call £ my own ’ has. on the whole, done well during the year. The number has increased to six, towards whose support the Church subscribes 90 dols. I may mention that we have made a feeble start towards a sus- tentation fund for the native pastors, on the lines of the fund inaugurated in Ching Chou Fu by Mr. Bruce. It is my confident hope that by the time the students are ready for the churches, the churches will be prepared to call and partially provide for several of them as pastors.” MEDICAL WORK. “ I may, perhaps, call attention to the work done in the Chiu Chen ‘ Dispensary,’ as in our proud moments we delight to eall it. “ Most of the work is done by the medical evangelist, Yang Tung Shan (who is generously supported by the Bloomsbury Chapel Sunday-school) and an evangelist of Mr. Nickalls’, Chang Tyz Chun, who has had some medical training. Three days every month are set aside for this work. The eye cases are attended to by me; all the other work is done by the two men mentioned above, and I am quite convinced not only that much suffering is relieved, but that the effect of even our poor efforts is felt over quite a wide area, and helps wonderfully to forward the work of the Gospel. The total number of persons treated was 2.272. Of these 1,121 were men, 937 women, and 214 children. “ Of these, 1,104 persons came to be treated for eye complaints. “ In all there were twelve important operations on the eye, and of these ten were extractions of cataracts, of which number eight were successful in returning sight. This is the first time I have written about this branch of work, and perhaps I should not have done so now but that I thought it due to those friends who gave me encouragement and help in this matter while I was in England. I hope it has not been all lost time or wasted means. It is quite certain that medical work is a most important auxiliary to our work. Testimony to this fact is constantly appearing. Only last week, on visiting a new station for the first time, I dis covered two of Dr. Paterson’s former patients amongst the forty or fifty men met for worship, and their testimony was enthusiastic as to the inclination they had received towards ‘ doctrine ’ from treatment received. “ The more we realise the greatness and solemnity of Our work, the more we are astonished that we should be permitted for ever so short a season to stand for God in the high places of the field : we are altogether unworthy of so high an honour, but we will not look on ourselves—for that would be to court failure and defeat—but on Him who hath called us, and will, we believe, help us to conquer. We pray for the exercise of faith, that the spiritual and eternal world may be brought nearer to us ; that we may take larger and worthier views of God and His work in the world ; and that seeming prosperity may not blind us to failings and backslidings either in our selves or those to whom we minister.” The Rev. W. A. Wills reports:— “ The additions to our membership have been steady and encouraging. We Ijave 58 ONE HTJNDBEi) A.ND FIFTH BEPOBT. [1897.
received forty-one by baptism, while our loss has been two by erasure, our nett increase being thirty-nine, making a total of 117 in the fellowship of. the seven churches under my pastoral care. “ This work is scattered over three counties. In the chief centre of each county I have a dispensary which is opened on stated days in each month. From these centres I have made several itinerating tours, not only to preach, but to shepherd those who have chosen Christ as their portion, teaching them to observe all things commanded by Him. “ My first centre is Chou Ts’un, twelve miles S.E. from Chou-P'ing. The present premises are far too small for this increasing work. Whenever the weather permits we hold the services in the open court, the room being too small to sit our members. Next year we hope to report ourselves settled more conveniently, and the various organisations going forward without being handicapped for want of room. This year two out-stations have been opened and thirteen new members baptized. “ My second centre is at Chili Ch’uan, twenty-six miles S.E. of Chou-P’ing. Here we have a rented room in an inn where we see patients monthly. 1;This year fourteen have been, baptized. Owing to several very trying cases of persecution many of the inquirers have kept away from worship. Some of the older Christians have grown cold and shown a sad spirit of revenge ; this has caused us .much sorrow and anxious thought. We have set before them their. Saviour’s example and words, ‘ Love your enemies.’ Oh, how much these tried ones need sympathetic guidance and constant prayer, that each life may become so Christlike as to be a perpetual unspoken sermon, a living ‘ Epistle of Christ.’ Then, and not until then, will our full power for aggressive Christian work be reached, “ My third centre is at Po-shan, forty miles south of Chou-P’ing. There are two churches in this county, and this year fourteen have been baptized. “ Educational Work.—We have three day schools with Christian instruction. Seven of our picked boys are sent to the boarding school at Ching Chou Fu. Two promising young men are training for the ministry. Classes for the Church leaders have been held. Next year we also hope to have classes for women. “ Medioal Work.—Since my return from England last March, I have seen 2,736 patients—men, 1,312; women, 893; boys, 340; girls, 191. The dispensaries have been opened on thirty-eight days, making an average attendance of seventy-two on each day. All those who were of an age to understand heard the Gospel faith fully and affectionately presented, and many tracts, portions of Scripture, and Christian books were carried home as silent messengers. In addition to the patients thus seen and dealt with, I have seen many in their homes. This has afforded me opportunities of speaking to the whole household, and in more than one home God is now being glorified where before heathen darkness held sway. u Suicides.—Six out of nine cases personally attended were saved ; two died before I arrived. A much larger number of cases have either received medicine or been attended to by the medical assistant.. Alas ! that this should be so common in China I “ Opium, Smokers.—Medicine has been sold and advice given to twenty-five opium smokers who desired to free themselves from the thraldom of this vice. “ The following are the statistics of the Chou-P’ing Dispensary and Hospital:— Dispensary—Out-Patients: Men ...... 6,843 „ „ Women ... 4,390 Cases of Poisoning...... 52 Hpspital—In-Patients ...... 97 Total of Cases,,. ... 11,382 189?.] OlTE MtTNiBiLfeD ANt> FI#TH ¿EPOBT. 55
“ These figures exhibit a very considerable advance on previous years, and the urgent need for new and larger hospital premises.”
SHANSI PROYINCE.
The Cominitfcefe àre thankful to report the arrival in Shansi Province of Brethren McCurrach and Underwood, thus redeeming the promise made some time past that “ of any reinforcements sent to China the first two should be designated for work in Shansi Province.” The Rev. T. J. Underwood reports
“ That the result of a conference with Messrs. Sowerby and Dixon, from both of whom we received a most hearty welcome, has been that Mr. McCurrach has gone north to Hsin Cheo with Mr. Dixon, whilst I remain at Tai Yuen. Both of lis are thankful that our arrival here ends the isolation of Mr. Dixon from all other ■brother missionaries. Mr. McCurrach and myself have had excellent health since ileaving England ; and we are now hoping to give ourselves up to the acquisition of »the Chinese language and a thorough understanding of the people of this land.”
TAI YUEN PtJ.
The Rev. Arthur Sowerby, in the following report, reviews the work of tìie past year
“ The past year has been marked by a larger share of Divine blessing than in any previous year that I can remember. The most notable point is the way that the Work has revived at our older sub-stations, the Christians having themselves made taarked advance in their own spiritual life, and in their seal to win others to Christ.
“T a i Y u e n F u . 1(1 The regular work of the station has been carried on as usual. Wu has continued hifi shop-preaching ; the Sunday services and the Bible-class (nightly) have been well attended. In the boys’ school we have had as many scholars as we could receive, and our Christians are showing an increased appreciation of this effort to train their sons, and the behaviour and diligence of the boys have been admirable. We have added to our list of inquirers, but only one man was ready for baptism ; his name is Wang, and he was first attracted to the truth by purchasing an old second-hand copy •of the New Testament that a pedlar was offering for sale.
“ H s i a o .T i e n T z u . “ Last year, the brethren at this station undertook to meet the expenses of renting sa place of worship, and all sundry items of expenditure. They have paid their way ■and have a balance in hand. There has been an increased attendance at the ser vices, and there are Beveral new inquirers. In connection with the station there 'has been a revival of work in the villages round. At Ta Ts’un a church member, ’’Ts’ao, meets with some ten men regularly for worship. At Nan Pan threa men -habitually worship together, and at Ch’èng Hsi some three or four. One of our Inquire« here has been suffering much persecution. The members of his own family 80 ONE HUNDRED AND FlíTH EE PO ST.
began the attáúk on him by locking him out at night because he attended worship with the Christians ; afterwards his mother and brother got up a case against him in the Yamèn, and he received two hundred blows ; then the village-elders accused him for not paying the temple tax, and he has been detained in the Yamén for over a fortnight, and the underlings have been doing their best to get money out of him. The matter has been taken by me to the Prefect’s Yamén, and I hope to hear soon that our friend will be released. He has been very brave and patient. From Hsiao Tien Tzu we have baptized one man, a graduate.
“ S h i h T i e h . “ Here we have had a distinct revival in the work. One of our members, Li, has been very zealous labouring in the villages near his home, and has persuaded many to give up opium, and I have had the joy of baptizing fourteen converts, including three women. “Ch i a o C h e n g . “ Here our esteemed brother, Mr. Han, has laboured assiduously. He has had a large number of patients in his opium refuge, some having come from Shensi, 300 li distant, and the attendances at the services have been well sustained. Yet here wc have to record our greatest falling away, and have sorrowfully had to exclude five members who had completely gone back into heathenism. In their place five new members have been received. Deeply as one regrets the falling away of any, still this defection has been the means of bringing into prominence the true character of. a Christian Church. The Chiao Cheng Church, for a church just gathered out of heathenism, is remarkably strong, both for its spiritual and moral tone ; the majority of the brethren are out-and-out on the side of Christ, and are anxious to maintain the purity and sincerity of the Church, and they will not tolerate anyone to remain with them who is not consistent in his Christian life. The Chiao Cheng station is abundantly fall of promise. We have lost four members by death.
“ P i n g T’oli. “ The work horehas been carried on amidst difficulties. The constant persecutions in this place have for a tíme created a timid spirit in the Christians, and we cannot this year report much advance. Still our evangelists, Lin and Yang, have laboured faithfully, and one new convert has been baptized. In the spring a young man was brought to me suffering considerably, but a little surgical help was able to relieve him. He was very grateful, and it turned out that he had been one of our bitterest persecutors, but he has now become one of our warmest friends.
"L o u Pu . “ Two years ago a young man, named Yong, bought a New Testament and began to read it. Some few months afterwards his mother died, and Mr. Yong oame on the side of Christ, gave up his idols, and, with a young friend, continued to study the Word of God, and sought the Lord in prayer. His companion has been bitterly perse cuted, but both gave good evidence of their conversion, and were baptized last spring. The Chinese brethren in Tai Yuen Fu agreed to take up the work, and have regularly sent brethren to preach there, paying them a small sum for expenses. Those who gathered for worship met in Mr. Yong’s house. We have now between twenty and thirty meeting regularly for worship ; they have themselves rented a place for their meetings, and they beg for someone to reside with them and help them in their daily gatherings. I hope to send a fit man there this winter, and there is every promise of a strong church being built up in that neighbourhood. 189?.] OiTE HtTNDBED AND FltflH BEPOKl. 61
“T h e C r o w n i n g B l e s s in g . “ The news of the appointment of Brethren McCurrach and Underwood has given us great joy. They will probably spend next Sunday at Shou Yang, two days’ journey from here, and we hope to see them very soon. Their arrival is the crowning blessing of the year. Now for some Christian sisters to develop the work among the women ; then we shall feel that our prayers for Shansi are being answered.”
HSIN CHEO. . This town is the centre of a large number of smaller places, in many of which a very encouraging work is being carried on, as will be seen from the following report from the Rev. Herbert Dixon. Mr. Dixon writes :—
“H s i n C h o u C i t y has still been the chicf centre of our work, and, thanks to our book-shop and visita tion of the villages, a marked improvement has shown itself in our relations to the people generally, whilst many have lost faith in their idolatry, and several have been added to the Church. There have been very many opportunities to enter the homes of the people with medical or surgical help, and more especially in one village there is quite a movement of the women toward faith in Christ. Several blind people have been successfully operated on and sight restored, and in one instance particularly it led to the conversion of an old gentleman, whose home is fifty miles away, and who has made a very firm confession of Christ amidst trying persecution and loss.
“ K u o H s i e n oul-station continues to increase its influence in that county. Our evangelist there has won the respect of all classes, and counts among his inquirers some wealthy men and also one or two graduates. But persecution is still keen, and several who are secret disciples dare not attend Sunday services. One well-to-do convert is sending his second sou into our Hsin Chou school with a view to equipping him as an evangelist should he prove called of God to that work ; the lad is seventeen years of age, and gives up a good situation to continue his studies ; all expenses are fully paid by his father. “T a i C h o u will always remember this year as being the foundation of the Christian Church there. I had the joy of baptizing six Tai Chou and two Kuo Hsien men in a small stream outside the city in September. Our influence from here extends very far, reaching in one case to a city sixty miles N.E., which has hitherto kept its gates closed to foreigners as far as residence is concerned. The man was at Tai Chou on business, and very quietly listened four days consecutively to the street-preaching, finally coming forward and openly confessing his faith in Christ, and publicly arguing against the folly of idolatry. Having stayed some time for fuller instruction he bought a supply of books and returned to his own city.
“ Ting Hsiang Hsien
has at last made a start ahead, the hindrance in the past being a false convert who secretly deterred people from helping us. His removal through relapse into open idolatry has led to Bome earnest men coming forward. The Btation has been without any evangelist owing to the sickness and retirement of Mr. Ssu, and has being further crippled by the serious illness of the school teacher, but the congregation has ONE HUNDRED AND Fil'i'H SEPORl. [189?;
doubled, and the wives and mothers of some of the converts have begun to attend Sunday services. “C h u a n M o C h e n . out-station, supported by the Hsin Chou Church, has yielded three converts for baptism this year, and we are thinking of asking the brethren there to provide fur their own services in the future, and using our Church funds at some other and more needy centre. “C h i T s u n C h e u , while holding its own as our leading out-station, has not shown so much progress as usual. This is partly accounted for by the absence of Mr. Ho, the evangelist, who has supplied Mr. Char’s place at Hsin Chou City during his absence on furlough to Shantung. But a marked improvement in the spiritual life of the members malres one feel hopeful for the future j and some half-dozen sincere converts are better +.hp.n none. “ S c h o o l s , “ Here we have met much discouragement. At Sa Wa our teacher died in the middle of the year, and the school scattered. Ming Wang and Yao Ch’ih have failed to keep up proper attendance. At Ting Hsiang the teacher had a paralytic stroke, which greatly hindered him. But Hsin Chon, Ting-Hsiang and Pan Shih all came out well in the examinations ; and our Hsin Chon school will no doubt ultimately become a higher school for the most promising Bcholars of the w h o le district. Our especial thanks are due to Toxteth Tabernacle, and our friends Mr. Josiah Baines and Mr. Butler of ‘ T h e D o w n s ,’ Clapton, who have so generously supported this part of our work.” SHENSI PROYINCE.
The chief centre of work in this distant province is Hsi-an-Fu, where Mr, and Mrs. Moir Duncan and Mr. Shorrock first established Mission work. At the commencement of last year the Rev. Evan and Mrs. Morgan arrived at Hsi-an-Fu, and the Rev. A. Gr. Shorrock, B.A., left for a much- needed furlough. The Committee hope that the Rev. Frank Madeley, M.A., of Bristol College, recently accepted for Mission work in China, will accompany Mr. Shorrock on his return to China at the close of the current year, and that Mr. and Mrs. Moir Duncan will then take furlough, their present condition of health calling urgently for a season of rest and change. The followiiig report is from Mr. Duncan :—
“H s i -a n -F u , “ In this city, teeming with ‘ temple tombs and gods of gorgeous impotence,’ Mr. Morgan and I have periodically, on alternate months, attempted work with all the methods we could command. “ Preaching has been continued without interruption, sometimes on the squares, sometimes in the villages, always at our premises. The open opposition of former years has been overcome, but the inveterate determination of the literary class to foil our efforts has been extremely active “ The book-shqp has not attained the record of former years, but there are two 1897.] ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTH REPORT. 63 specific and temporary causes—(1) delay in transport reduced the stock, (2) change of officials cut off communication. Notwithstanding, it still continues a centre of light and source of truth. “ Services with lantern illustrations, held in official residences, sometimes at private houses, have helped not a few to understand the essence of the Gospel. The Parable of the Prodigal Son and the Life of Christ slides have pictured as well as told the important truth. “ Personal intercourse* visitation, and reception have occupied a large share of time. It has been no less interesting than difficult to meet some of the difficulties that the materialistic and highly-cultured Confucianists advance. During the year I have visited all the chief official residences, religious temples, Mohammedan mosques, .and Confucian colleges. There are now open doors and inquiring minds ; only one more step, and there will be the touching of many hearts. A small contribution {£2 12s. 8d.) was received from two officials. I hope that is but the first-fruits of a harvest of Chinese treasure and Chinese hearts.
“T h e N a t i v e Ch r i s t i a n C h u r c h . “ Increase.—During the year 23 have been baptized, 4 by transfer—an increase •of 27. The membership is now only 135—a few and feeble folk, and ground to earth by terrible poverty that must be permanent so long as the present political and -social conditions prevail. “ Self-Supporting Efforts.—(a) During the year the Church paid their pastor, made A grant to the two deacons, and a present to each of the four elders—in all, a sum of £9 9s. 3d. (b) Two new chapels have been built—both substantial buildings and free from debt. To English eyes they would seem little superior to common barns. Yet to us they are what the Bedford meeting-house was to Bunyan—‘ A palace beau tiful, a veritable Bethel, where the ark of God may lie and His countenance shine.’
“ E vangelistic A s s o c ia t io n . “ The work done by the Association has not been quite equal to that of last year. The contributions, notwithstanding the increased subscriptions to the Church fund, have been £5 5s. Nevertheless, the three-fold aim of its constitution has been maintained—(1) Voluntary preaching, (2) willing giving, (3) study and examination. Early in the year it was decided to work a district entirely by the Association—its money and its members. One preacher appointed got involved in opium selling', and his bad example nearly wrecked the work. Thus, on all sides, the opium has told against us heavily. “I n s t r u c t io n Cl a s s e s . “ These'were held in the spring and autumn. They were thoroughly represen tative, and I afforded a stimulating intercourse as well as spiritual help. One Hu Pei man, who seemed roused by our condemnation of opium, and who learned something of the meaning of sin and the way of salvation, testified on the last night as follows: ' Hitherto I regarded myself as one of the good. For years I have periodically visited the 1 Flowery Mountain' (a famous mountain with fine temples), and done penance to the Immortal and other good works. Now, these last few days I have learned to pray to the true God, and shed tears over my sins and mistaken tenets. I return to my home to do three things—(1) Plough down 17 acres of opium, (2) cast out alt idols from my home, (3) receive hereafter all preachers, that they may help me and my household to worship the True God.’ Would that this creed were embraced throughout “ E v i d e n c e o f V i t a l i t y . “ The amounts raised by those indigenous sources of income—viz., cash, labour, and grain—it is satisfactory to know are far in advance of any former year. The following figures witness to the vitality of the cause, especially when it is remembered that the members are but poor and struggling immigrants.

The Rev. Evan Morgan writes :— “ Let me briefly review a part of the work which we have tried to do. “ First with regard to San Yuan City. “ Mr. Duncan and I have visited the place regularly, and have aided the resident evan gelists in their work. Cities and towns are proverbially difficult to influence and conquer. China is no exception to the general rule. Influences in crowded towns become concentrated, and act in one of two ways : either hostility is aroused, or other interests, Bucih as commerce, produce indifference to everything else. Exchange of commodities has not produced any marked desire for change of thought. This mental timidity may be a mark of a half-civilised people. The fact remains the same, and we have to reckon with it in our work. Some such reason must partly account for the paucity of definite additions to the Church at San Yuan. It would be untrue to say we have done all we could. We are conscious of imperfect service but in spite of much weakness people have been exhorted to repent, and Christ has been preached. If the people did not come to us, we have gone forth to them. Many have visited us in the Mission-house, many more have been constrained to hear ard listen to us in the fairs, in^theatre-audiences, both in the town and in the surrounding villages. And if none have openly accepted the truth, many have heard it, and not a few, we believe, have been influenced. 1897.] ONE HUNDRED AMD 1’IETH REPOST. 65 “ Result: No definite increase of worshippers. “ A little more than a year ago, plans were prepared for killing the foreigners ini San Yuan. To-day, some of the leading scholars tell us they were stupid in shutting their gates against the foreigner for so long, and they grieve over their former hostility. As long as their self-willed pride held sway, there was nothing good outside China ; but now in two schools at least (and one of them presided over by the first scholar in the city) foreign subjects are daily taught, and amongst the subjects for essays are such as this: ‘ Why should the West lay such stress on the worship of God ? ’ ‘ Should China follow their example ? ’ “ Last year a club was started for the study of Western knowledge, with the sanction of the Literary Chancellor. The origin of this is interesting. A scholar, who afterwards became the active promoter of the club, happened to say that 1 China must change, but we don’t know how to change,’ and when it was suggested to him that the missionaries would give them all the help they could, the idea was taken up heartily by a few. It was stipulated that we should help them in all branches of knowledge (!) on the condition that Christianity should be one of the subjects considered. However, this fell through, owing to internal jealousy and hostility on. the part of some to the foreigner. But the club still exists, more as a reading-room than as a teaching institution. The Bible is amongst the books purchased, and we know is examined by some. Jesus has been a source of strife amongst the club members. One man stuck up a notice that ‘ the name Jesus must not be mentioned ’ there. Another scholar of equally high standing said : ‘ Well, if not publicly, then secretly the name must be discussed.’ What think ye of Jesus ? Wonderful per sonality ! He penetrates every nation. He stirs up strife, and yet wins the loyalty of many hearts. He arouses the bitterest opposition, and yet is easily domiciled! The most devoted missionary is a ‘ foreigner ’ all his days. Not so Jesus. He becomes a personal Saviour. 11 in you and you in Me.’ This is true here, as everywhere, now as always. “ Dispensing Work has been carried on as usual in the three centres. There is nothing much to report. We have had about the usual number of patients—some we have cured, others were beyond our means. But experience teaches us more and more that we need a doctor here, not only for out-patients but for in-patients. The great need of the hour is an hospital. Your gift of a doctor will be a great boon to this suffering province. As the financial statement will show, a fair amount has been contributed considering the limited attention given to this branch of the work. It is a new departure, but we think it a success, especially in Si-ugan-fu. The people are pleased to contribute, and the healing influences of the work are none the less potent for good. “ Elementary Schools.—These have been continued as in the past, with an addition of two—one amongst the Shantung emigrants, the other amongst Hu-peh colonists. We are pleased to see the Hu-peh people coming forward, and we hope this is but the beginning of a good work among them. The schools have shown a few symptoms of weakness this year, and our experience tells us that the schools flourish under the influence of earnest inquirers ; but where these are wanting the schools do not thrive. For this reason two or three of the schools must be closed this year. “ This year also records an important step in advance—viz., the starting of a “ Higher Grade School for Boys. We started with twenty-one scholars, all drafted from the Elementary Schools with the exception of three. The subjects taught have included arithmetic, geography, language. Mr. Duncan has given lectures on the ‘ Parables ’ and ‘ Civilisation,’ and I have taken the ‘ Life and Teaching of Christ’ for my subject. We have a good assistant in Wang Huei T’ing, an old boy from Mr. Couling’s school. There is also a teacher for the Chinese classics. This institution is in ita 6* 66 ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTH REPORT. [1897. infancy, and will demand much help and sympathy. The former you have already promised, of the latter we are assured. We ourselves shall try to carry forward the movement on self-supporting lines, as far as circumstances allow. We hope that the love of truth and godliness will be instilled into the minds of all our scholars. It is a small beginning, but we trust the school will be a centre of light that shall shed its radiance far and wide over this province in the coming years.” WORK AMONGST WOMEN AND GIRLS. Mrs. Moir Duncan sends the following report on THE GIRLS’ BOARDING SCHOOL. “ Our girls’ school is now nearly five years old. Its young life has been marked by many troubles, some petty, some serious—all inseparable accidents to the infancy of an institution so foreign to Chinese ideas. I doubt not there are still trials to face, for the Evil One would fain extinguish what promises to be the source of many a bright light for this dark province. Already there is a wide difference intellectually between our girls and their neighbours, but we pray and work for a higher distinc tion. That, too, is seen in many, but not in all. How many of them are Christians I cannot tell, but not a few of them profess to be, and manifest; a love for their Saviour and their Bibles that used to be lacking. “ During the year two have been baptized. “ Their Christian Endeavour still continues, the girls meeting once a week for mutual help and once in four months for a half-day service, when three or four of their number give capital addresses on a variety of edifying subjects. “ This year two of the teachers are our own girls—one who was Miss Yen last year but now Mrs. Xieh, the other Miss Yen this year, but about to become Mrs. Wang. As assistants in school they give us great satisfaction, and their scholars make a better pass at their examinations than the senior girls who have a Chinese BA., for teacher. “ This year Mrs. Morgan has given unsparingly both time and strength to the school. She has given regular lessons in John’s Gospel and geography, seen to the ailments of the girls, and superintended their sewing. I have taken the senior girls through Hebrews, taught arithmetic, and singing from Sol-fa notation, and looked after the school generally. I lately started a Sunday Evening Class for the whole school with Luke’s Gospel for text-book. The girls look longingly for Mr. Shorrock’s return. They miss him for many reasons, but specially for the spiritual help he gave them. My husband has made a point of leading them in evening worship as often as his own duties could spare him. The pastor, too, drops in occasionally to encourage them in their Christian Endeavour meetings. “ T h e W o m e n . “ In this department, as well as in the girls’ school, Mrs. Morgan has been an additional strength to what we have had in the past. Indeed, the visitation of out- stations for this year is almost entirely her work, so I need not report on it. “ W e e k l y B i b l e -c l a s s e s . “ The classes I am responsible for have been continued in three centres till recently, when I gave up the least needy in order to havq,more time for the girls’ school. The women here who read use John’s Gospel, those in the second village, Matthew’s 1897.] ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTH BEPOBT. 67 Gospel. The attendance here has gone down; in the other the number remains fairly stationary. This fall in attendance has grieved me, and I fear the reason lies in the fact that during famine times some came from other motives than a love for the truth. Still, those who remain are firm and show an increasing love for the Bread of Life. “S p e c i a l C l a s s e s . “ An epidemic of influenza hindered the women from coming in the beginning of the year, only eight responding to our invitation, but two months ago we had thirty- two staying with us, most of them for a week. These represented fourteen villages. Mrs. Morgan gave them instruction from the Old Testament, the Pastor from John’s Gospel, our girls’ school teacher, Mrs. Nieh, from various New Testament subjects, and I from the last few chapters of Matthew. The evenings were mostly spent with the magic lantern, a glorious feast for the women and a decidedly spiritual help. Two evenings we devoted to special evangelistic effort. In private conversation with these poor women we were greatly encouraged. The hearts of many overflowed with gratitude for help received from the classes. During famine times one cannot feel sure that all adherents are worshippers, but this year nothing but sincere love for the truth can induce these women to leave their homes and their duties to spend a week with us. “ B a p t i s m s . “ During the year five women and two girls have been baptized. Of the five one is an ex-scholar of our girls’ school. “ F o o t - u n b i n d i n g . “ Last year I mentioned that at least 120 were wearing rational shoes. This year I cannot give statistics, but the number has increased.” CHRISTIAN LITERATURE FOR CHINA. THE EEV. TIMOTHY RICHARD, OF SHANGHAI. The Committee attach the greatest importance to the preparation and circulation of Christian literature, especially at the present juncture, in China. Unquestionably the Press, as has been often said, is one of the most potent methods of influencing individual ani public opinion, and this, in the case of a literary nation like the Chinese, is specially true. In the Report of last year the Committee gave expression at some length to their convictions on this matter, and called attention to the work of the Christian Literature Society, as set forth by the Eev. Timothy Eichard. The following is Mr. Eichard’s report on this work for 1896 :— “ Last year we reported an unprecedented action taken in behalf of all the missionary societies in China—viz., the presentation of the first missionary memorial to the Chinese Government, in the hope that it might bring about a more friendly attitude towards the Christian Church. “ This year we report a still further advance made in that direction and point out that there are new and remarkable opportunities now open for the Christian Church to bring its influence to bear on the whole of the Empire. “ 1. Last year we had the promise of Weng Tung Ho, who is the virtual Prime €8 ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTH REPORT. [1897. Minister of China, that steps would be taken towards producing a better understand ing between the Chinese G-ovemment and Christian missionaries. The Rev. A. G. Jones sent me an extract of a proclamation issued in Shantung to the effect that instruc tions had been received from Peking saying that hitherto the Mandarins were in the habit of avoiding the missionaries and, therefore, mission troubles arose very easily, but, as most of these troubles arose from misunderstandings, they were now instructed to see missionaries and hear what they had to say, so as to have these misunderstand ings removed. Thus we are glad to find that the promises made last year are not a dead letter, but have actually been carried into execution. For this we are very thankful. “ 2. The Emperor’s tutor, Sun Kia Nai, has been appointed to be at the head of the Reform movement in Peking. He has written to me three times since I left Peking, saying that reform work is altogether beyond his knowledge, and asks me if I will not go back soon to help him! “ 3. Our Society’s new books have been well received. That on the ‘ Education of the Human Race,’ by Rev. J. Lambert Rees, B.Sc. (L.M.S.), has drawn forth another donation of one thousand dollars from Chang Chih Tung, the second Viceroy in the Empire. That on the ‘ War with Japan, and its Lessons,’ by the Rev. Young J. Allen, LL.D., of the American Methodist Episcopal Mission, was sold out (an edition of 3,000) very quickly. My translation of Mackenzie’s 1 History of the Nineteenth Century,’ which gives the modem reforms of Christian nations, and in which there is a beautiful chapter on Christian Missions, has had a second edition called for. Our general monthly magazine has quadrupled its circulation since we took charge five years ago. “ 4. But more remarkable than even these items is the extraordinary change which has come over the province of Hunan, that took such a notorious lead in the anti- Christian movement in China, resulting in widespread and continuous riots for years, ending in the fearful massacre in Fukien province. One of the gentry of Hunan, while visiting Shanghai, came across one of the magazines of our Society, and so appreciated its contents that he ordered 200 copies to be sent to him regularly for distribution among the leading men of Hunan. Shortly afterwards these leaders ordered the rest of our books and all other foreign books, Christian and scientific, they could get. After two years’ study of these, they changed completely round, and sent down to the C.L.S. in Shanghai, asking that our chief Chinese Editor should go up to Hunan, and become Professor in the chief college in the province 1 i! 5. There are junior reformers, a sort of offspring of our Society, who have formed a society somewhat after our model, and publish a magazine of their own every ten days. These also ask for guidance from us from time to time. “ 6. Another item of no small interest is the publication of the China Mission Handbook, which came out in the spring of 1896. It is the first historical record given of the work of all the missionary societies in China, and contains 440 pages. From this volume one can learn what has been done and what still remains to be done in China. “ 7. On the way home from China I travelled through India in the company of Rev. A. G. Shorrock, in order to learn from missionary experience there—which is fifty years longer than that in China—what might be profitable to us in China. “ 8. Since my return home I have endeavoured to interest friends in the remark able fresh openings which exist in China now, and which ought to be entered as soon as possible by the Christian Church. “ (1) I have pointed out that there are, generally speaking, some 200 examination centres in China, about ten in each province, where about 5,000 students meet annually at each, making in all the enormous number of a million students. By distributing Christian books to these million students, we could help to guide the 1897.] ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTH REFORT. 69 mind of the 400 millions of the Empire. £20 per annum is enough to provide literature for each of these centres of districts, about the size of Wales. This amounts, for the whole vast Empire of China, to about £4,000 per annum for this object alone. “ (2) Then we need to have a central depot in Shanghai, and a depot in each provincial capital, and finally a depot in each prefectural city where Bibles and Christian books of all sorts can be kept for sale. It is almost incredible that we have no such central depot yet in Shanghai, the greatest port in the Ear East. The one in that city alone would require from £2,000 io £3,000. “ (3) We need capital to start a new weekly magazine in the Mandarin language, spoken by 300 millions. The Roman Catholics have a weekly, and we have been requested by the Missionary Association of Shanghai to start a Protestant one. This we hope to do as soon as funds will permit. But we cannot do so without a starting capital of £ 1,000. “ (4) To reach the Empress Dowager, the Emperor, Empress, and leading Ministers in Peking, there are needed special means in addition to our ordinary books, such as presentation Atlases, Diagrams of religious and general knowledge, and scientific apparatus, both for their enlightenment and to facilitate friendly intercourse, just as schools and hospitals are opened to produce friendly feelings among the masses. For such purposes we have no funds whatever available. Will not the higher classes at home take pleasure in reaching the higher classes of China ? “ Since the beginning of this year (1897), there seems to be a considerable interest taken in this work in Scotland, and in some parts of England and Wales, and latterly in London. It is sincerely to be hoped that it will be equal to the great opportunity God is now giving the Protestant Church. Romanists are busy ; the Greek Church is extending its operations; materialists are alive to this crisis, and are exploiting China for their own benefit; why should the Christian Church not be equally alive to the grand opportunity of quickly winning China for Christ ? ” PALESTINE, PRINCIPAL STATION :-Nablous.

Mr. El Karey writes :— “ The past year has been one of great trouble, poverty, anjl sickness. The com measure that the year before cost 18 piastres now exceeds 40. All trade is at a standstill. Robbery used only to take place at night, but now housebreaking and highway robberies take place every day, and men, women, and children are in a starving condition. “ An order has been issued that no Mohammedan woman or child is to attend our place of worship or school under a fine of £3 and imprisonment for three months. “ Most of our people are very poor and in deep distress and want, many of them in actual want of food. “ Then, too, the demands of the Turkish Government officials are most unjust, taxes being collected by the soldiers over and oyer again." 70 ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTH REPORT. [1897. Referring to the services held in Nablous, Mr. El Karey writes :— “ Our Sunday services in the morning in the chapel and in the evening in our house are, notwithstanding the bitter distress, still well attended. I preach four times in each week, and I visit the bazaars and have house-to-house visitation, reading the Scriptures, and speaking the Gospel.” In Nablous there are in regular attendance at the Girls’ School 35, and at the Boys’ 28, Sunday-school 50, and the Mothers’ Meeting with 24 in attendance. Referring to the Mothers’ Meetings, Mrs. El Karey says :— “ At these meetings, held every Tuesday in our house, Mr. El Karey reads and expounds the Scriptures, and then questions them on the portions read. It is most encouraging to listen to their replies. Many of them are, I think, very near the Kingdom.” Mr. El Karey reports that :— “ At Bafidia there are twenty-seven members of the Church, with a school of twenty- two boys and girls. The members conduct two services every Sunday and every Thursday evening, and there is a good Sunday-school as well.” “ At Bate Mreen there are twenty-five members with good day and Sunday schools. This place is inhabited by most bigoted Mohammedans ; our people, numbering about twenty-five, are the light of that village ; for more than ten years they have been following the Light of the World, Jesus.” In Samaria there are 30 members and a day school with 24 regular scholars. Mr. El Karey pleads very earnestly for a suitable meeting-place, and reports that until such needed accommodation is secured the work must greatly suffer. Western ilDissions. AFRICA.

The following reports from the various stations occupied on the Lower and Upper Congo all tell of progress. One very important event has been the removal of the base station of the Mission from Underhill to Tumbav consequent upon the opening for traffic and passengers of the Congo Rail way, which is very fully described in the following report:— UNDERHILL AND TUMBA. The Rev. Lawson Forfeitt writes :— “ Ever since the inauguration, some years ago, of the project for the construction of a railway through the Cataract region to connect the Lower and Upper Congo, it has been known that this work would so change the conditions of transport that the time would come when Underhill would be no longer required as the base station o f the Mission. The opening of the section of the line from Matadi to Tumba, a distance of over 100 miles, has enabled the contemplated change to become an accomplished fact during the year 1896, It is hoped that the railway will be completed to Stanley Pool in about two years. For some months previous to the opening of the line to Tumba in July, the railway was used for about half the distance namely to Lufu, but, Tumba being the important permanent half-way station to the Pool, many facilities have now been arranged as regards the reception of goods by the railway company of 72 ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTH REPORT. [1897. Matadi from the ocean steamers, and with the State Customs Department as to decla* rations for import duty and other details. “ When the year 1896 began Mr. G-. R. Pople and Mr. J. J. Pinnock, who belong to -the Underhill staff, were in England on furlough. In their absence it had been arranged by the Home Committee that Mr. J. R. M. Stephens, who arrived in Congo in May, 1895, and whose ultimate destination was the Upper River, should share in “the work of Underhill station. In February, Mr. R. Beedham arrived, and remained on the Lower River to help in the transport till the end of the year. During a period of exceptional strain these two brethren rendered very valuable service, which was gratefully acknowledged by a resolution passed at a meeting of the local executive committee. Such were the unavoidable circumstances, that for some weeks Mr. Stephens was working alone at Tumba, and Mr. Beedham was alone at Lufu. “ For a considerable time, through the kindness of the brethren at Wathen, N’lemvo gave much-needed help in the transport at Lufu, and also assisted in Evangelistic work among the carriers. Mr. and Mrs. Pople arrived from England in May, and resumed work at Underhill. In August, I attended a meeting of the Execu tive Committee held at Stanley Pool. Amongst other important business the proposals with regard to the change of the base station to Tumba were considered and approved, and satisfaction expressed that it was found possible to complete the arrangements and effect the transfer at so early a date. It is to be noted that the -changed conditions not only admit of the closing of Underhill Station, with the consequent saving in men and money, but our Transport Station at Lukunga, is also given up. It will thus be seen that although the railway rates for passengers and goods are high, yet in addition to the important consideration of lessened exposure •on the caravan road both to missionaries and goods, there will be no inconsiderable •saving in various heavy items of money outlay to set over against the high railway ■charges. “ Upon our return from Stanley Pool, Mrs. Forfeitt and I remained at Tumba, and Mr. Stephens was able to leave for Sargent Station, Yakusu. Mr. and Mrs. Pople were meanwhile having much heavy work (part of the time alone) in con nection with the vacating of Underhill. Mr. Pinnock returned from England in •September. Before the end of December all the arrangements were completed, and Mr. and Mrs. Pople and Mr. Pinnock were settled at Tumba, thus setting Mr. Ueedham free to go to ihe Upper River. The Mission property and graveyard at Underhill are left in the care of the late Rev. Philip Davies’ old personal boy Lo. He is now a young man, and both he and his wife are trusty Christians.” “ With regard to the transport to San Salvador, which place is quite away from the line of railway, arrangements have been made with our friends of the Swedish Mission at Matadi, to receive goods from the ocean steamers, and deliver them to -carriers sent down from San Salvador. Wathen is two days from Tumba, and the journey from Tumba to Stanley Pool is made in one stage, occupying about ten days, without the change of porters as was formerly necessary at Lukunga, between Underhill and the Pool.” “ It is satisfactory to note that in September it was possible to write to all the -stations on the Upper River stating that not a single load remained in the stores. "Some surplus carriers of the State were obtained, and thus accumulations were •cleared, including many awkward and heavy loads which in the ordinary course of transport it is most difficult to dispatch. “ Evangelistic Work, fyc.—Throughout the year the usual services were held for station employes, carriers, and others, and many patients treated for fever and other more or less serious complaints. Mrs. Forfeitt also continued the teaching of the personal boys at Underhill on week-days, and the Sunday afternoon class, which 1897.] ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTH REPORT. 7$ others on the station besides the personal boys attended, and in which deep interest was shown. Since her arrival in Congo Mrs. Pople has shared in this work. At Lufu and Tunaba the brethren also conducted services for native carriers and the numerous English-speaking coloured employes on the railway from British colonies on the West Coast, and also worked zealously in distributing gratuitously Gospel tracts and Scripture portions, in addition to obtaining, at the request of some of these men, well-bound Bibles, hymn-books, and other volumes, for which, of course, the full cost im each case was paid. One man ordered a Bible for himself, and also a large-type edition to take as a present to his aged father at Cape Coast Castle. “ Major Thys, the Administrator-General of the Railway Company, when on a visit o f inspection from Brussels, kindly granted free passes to the missionary in charge of Underhill and his wife to enable them to visit the various camps of labourers for evangelistic work. During the year many parcels were received from friends in England, containing magazines, booklets, and Gospels in different languages for ■distribution on the ocean steamers coming up river to Matadi. When the terrible ■disaster occurred at Boma of the destruction of the ss. Matadi, of Liverpool, through an explosion of gunpowder, resulting in the death of two of our friends of the American Advent Mission (who had left Underhill only the day before) and many of the crew, a collection was made at the stations of the different societies at and near Matadi on behalf of the widows and orphans of the English sailors. Congo natives and coast labourers readily joined the missionaries in expressing their sympathy by generous •contributions to the Fund, and over £20 was sent through the British Vice-Consul. In these and in other ways it has been sought to commend the Gospel to all who can toe reached.” The Rev. Q R. Pople writes from Tumba:— ■“ Doubtless Mr. Forfeitt will write about the first half of the year. . ■“ The temporary transport work at Lufu, the opening of Tumba and closing of Underhill stations, and the many other changes of the past year, have involved much hard work and anxiety. It is not surprising, therefore, that the health of eome of the brethren upon whom this extra work has fallen has suffered in conse quence. You already know the critical state of Mr. Forfeitt’s health before he and Mrs. Forfeitt left for Europe. May God bless them both, and speedily restore our brother to health again I Mr. Stephens and Mr. Beedham have also had heavy fevers, due, to a large extent, no doubt, to the trying conditions under which they have laboured. They have now gone forward to their stations on the Upper Congo, and we wish them both a long and useful life out here. Mr. Pinnock and I, having just returned from England, were better able to stand the strain of extra work than those who had been out longer. “ As we, my wife and I, did not come on to Tumba until December 21st, it would be folly for me to attempt to send a report of work done here, so I will only write of what we are now doing and hope to do. “ You will be glad to know that we have more opportunities for doing Evangelistic work here than we had at Underhill, as there are so many more people within easy reach. “ There are missionaries of other societies here engaged, like ourselves, in transport 'work. We have all agreed to unite our forces for Christian service, so there is every prospect of good work being done. “ We have a plan drawn up for Sunday services, so that each missionary knows "beforehand which meeting he has to conduct. 71. ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTH BEPOBT. [1897. “ We have! services as follows :— Sunday 11 a.m.—Service for Congo people. „ 1 p.tn.—Service for coast-men employed on the railway. „ 7.30 p.m.—Service for missionaries. Wednesday 7.30 p.m.—Service. “ We are just about to draw up a plan for the regular visitation of the towns around Tumba, so that the missionaries not conducting services on the station on the Sunday will have this itineration work to do. The school work is being looked after by the ladies, and they are much encouraged by the eagerness of many of the scholars to learn of Jesus.” SAN SALVADOR STATION. The Rev. H. Ross Phillips reports on the work of the past year as follows :— “ With reference to our Sunday-school, we have been working during the whole year towards the arrangement of the school into classes, and in the girls’ department have to some extent succeeded ; to a smaller extent also with the boys. We have made arrangements for the New Year, and I think may fairly look upon the division of the school into classes as an accomplished fact. With the exception of the class of girls taught by Mrs. Graham, the classes are taught by native Christians. One of the missionaries, whichever happens to be here for the day’s work, takes- the oversight as superintendent. What with the lack of order in the native mind, and the limited space in which to divide so many into classes, it has been more difficult than Sunday-sshool workers at home would imagine to reduce order out of confusion. “ M e d i c a l W o r k . “ In medical work we have attended to 10,025 dispensary patients, besides many urgent cases which have called for attention at times when we do not give out medicine. “ S u b -S t a t i o n s . “ In the report of number of schools, or sub-stations, I only put down four sub-stations; a fifth is just being started with the beginning of this year. This means- that we only count places where a native teacher is entirely supported by the Church for the work. A work which to my mind is as important cannot be put into these statistics—viz., that which is carried on in towns by the people who live in them. We have two such towns—Kialundwa and Nsanda. In the former, we have a number of Church members, and the school work there has been on the ‘ help yourselves ’ principle ; the most advanced in the school being the teacher of the others, and in this way very satisfactory progress has been made. At Nsanda the school has been kept going in the same way, and during the past year a register has been regularly kept, which shows a very fair attendance during the year. “N a t i v e C h u r c h . “ Our Church membership is three less than last year. This is accounted for by less number baptized and a very heavy death-roll, the latter especially affecting us. But these we have not lost; they are still of us, but passed within the vail, having joined the hosts triumphant. “ The number of inquirers (not anxious inquirers) is still very large. Mrs. 1897.] ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTH BEPORT. 75 Phillips sees the 'women on Tuesday mornings. Mrs. Lewis and Mrs. Graham give two mornings each per week to the women' from outside towns. “ One old blind woman was to have been brought before the Church, but she was taken ill and died ; but, we have no doubt, she now "beholds the, face of her Saviour and is rejoicing in His presence. Two other very promising inquirers have died recently. “P r i n t i n g P r e s s . “ With reference to my own special work—the printing—we have during the year brought out the Second Edition (of 1,300 copies) of Mrs. Lewis’ ‘ Nkand’a Tanga.’ We have also nearly finished printing my translation of the First Book of Samuel. In addition to this we have printed large alphabet cards, elementary reading cards, leaflets of hymns, as well as sundry business forms for station work. The main feature of the work was my successful attempt to get up the large casting of the ‘ Edwin Wade Press ’ in September, after many unsuccessful attempts by ordinary caravans during the past four years. “C h u r c h G i f i s . “ The Church members have subscribed during the year for their Church work 490 guns = 186 milreis. And their New Year’s collection towards the new chapel is already 300 guns =120 milreis. These figures are especially good when we remember that for the past two years the locusts have been doing a great deal of damage to the farms ; and during the past few months the scourge has become quite serious. “ In speaking of the new sub-station started this year, you will of course under stand that the Church undertakes the entire support of a fourth evangelist. “ P.S.—Note the gun is the native dollar, equal to Is. 8d.” The Rev. R. H. Carson Graham reports :— “ Death has been very busy during the past year all over the country, and many have been called away somewhat suddenly, including several inquirers and Church members. “ You may have heard, too, of the swarms of locusts which are steadily passing over the continent northward from Cape Colony. The poor folks in these districts have suffered considerably from this scourge during the past year ; but, considering the number of eggs deposited in this neighbourhood, we have cause for thankfulness that not more harm has been done. The native Christians have prayed earnestly, and we rejoice that, in spite of scarcity, there has not been actual famine as yet. “ The faith of the Christians at Kialundwa has been much tried, for they have suffered very severely, both by sickness and the’_Iocusts, besides being constantly taunted by their heathen neighbours on accountfof the apparent failure of their prayers, but the constancy of their trust has been a helpful lesson to us all. “ It is gratifying, too, that, in spite of their losses, the Church members have given well towards the support of their evangelists. We have now four sub-stations where preaching and school work are carried on by young men’ and their wives, as well as another place where a young woman carries on'ithe ¡school and works among the women ; and these agents are supported exclusively;by;the Native Christian Church here, Besides which there are two or three other towns where lads, originally taught in our schools, have become voluntary teachers of their own people, being only provided by the Mission with the few school-books, etc., they need. “ Our constant aim is to make the native Christians feel their responsibility to give the Gospel to their fellows; and the training and directing them to this end forms a most important part of i our work^as missionaries.” 76 ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTH BEP0BT. [1897. WATHEN, OR NGOJflBE, STATION, The Rev. W. Holman Bentley reports :— “ We have had much to encourage us during the year 1896, and a steady development in all departments of the work, especially so in the outlying districts. “ We have been in the enjoyment of good health, and have received accessions to our staff by the arrival of Mr. W. B. Frame, who takes up the work of Mr. Davies. Mrs. Bentley’s step-sister, Miss Feisser, has also joined us to aid in the work of the school, and among the women and girls. This help was very urgently needed, and we are glad to have a full staff, and to be thus able to put out our full energies. “N a t i v e C h u r c h . “ The year opened with a roll of 49 members ; 43 have since been baptized, and one has been received by transfer; three members have died, and one transferred to the Arthington Church at Stanley Pool, having been driven out of his town on his baptism. We close with 89 members, a nett increase of 40, six of these being from among the scholars on the station. “ It is interesting to note the progress of the Church since January, 1894. It then numbered 11 members ; in 1895, 33 ; 1896, 49 ; 1897, 89. “ As may be expected, we have not been allowed thus to progress without opposition and the persecution of the native Christians. The new life comes into collison with the old order at every turn and point. “ If anyone becomes converted, he is suspected of sorcery, and is often cordially hated in consequence. If the convert is a young girl, there are sure to be matrimonial complications ; often she will be betrothed to a man having already several wives. This year we have had a great deal of trouble in getting young converts clear of such entanglements. Married men, too, have generally a girl for whom they are paying the marriage instalments, and these have to be given up, and much bad feeling is roused. “ One young woman was put into irons because she was going to accompany her fellow Church members to the Communion service on the station four hours away. When they fastened the irons on her, they said : * We shall see how Jesus will help her now I ’ He did, however, for before dawn she managed with a stone to loosen the pin, and after a long run, and a very narrow escape, reached Wathen, and is safe with us. “E vangelistic W o b k . “ All our Church members are expected to do what they can in work for the Master. The districts around Wathen and around three of our outposts are visited by the native Christians, and the seed of the Kingdom is being sown. The strong opposition whi«h is manifested.in some quarters is apparently hindering the^early development of what is sown, but when it springs up it will be all the hardier and more reliable. “E vangelistic O u t p o s t s o f t h e Ch u b c h . “ The expense of all native evangelistic work is borne by the Church, nothing by the Mission. One of the outposts was this year given up, after long patience and forbearance. Local jealousies and superstition blocked the work at every point, and very reluctantly the poBt was closed. Two others have been opened, and in one we are beginning to see some promise. At another outpost, the chief has shifted away 1897.] ONE HUNDBED AND FIFTH BEPOBT. with, the heathen part of the town, in the belief that the Christians were causing- the deaths among his folk. Fierce opposition has been shown there, because five of his people have been baptized. It was he who put the young woman into irons as above mentioned. Many difficulties beset this work. It thrives best in the neigh bourhood of Tungwa and Makuta, where twenty-five have been added to the Church. this year, thus making thirty from the outposts. The work at Tungwa is not even chargeable to the native Church. The members take part in the services under Bukusu, who started the work, and the district round is all portioned out among the members, male and female, for evangelist work. “ The expenses of building at three of the outpost?, and a loan to aid in the building at Tungwa, which has been covered now by the contributions, were so great, that the Church expenditure was greater than the receipts, and, for the first time, the Church has had to fall back on its reserve fund. It was felt that the Tungwa and Makuta folk had not done all that they ought to have done toward the Church funds. They recognised the fact, and to make amends they raised 1,000 of the short brass rods of the currency as a ‘ fine to the Lord ’ (eyanga dia Mfumu eto). “ Beside the four outposts and Tungwa there are Church members, once scholars5 who, having returned to their towns, are doing what they can in the way of evangelistic and school work. We trust that this will be largely developed as our young men settle down in their towns. “ Just recently I found some work of this kind of which I was not aware. Two young men of seventeen or eighteen years of age, came to us and stayed five months, and returned home through the illness of one. They were clever, and had made good progress in the time. Their home was about three hours from Makuta, and they used to go and stay there, and help the evangelist in his building, and be taught; so they learned to read, and a work of grace went on in their hearts. It is a year since they returned, and recently I visited their town. To my surprise I found that they had been conducting school and services daily in their town, and had eight scholars. Two nice lads among them could read their New Testament, and were also seeking the Saviour. It was not a case of the blind leading the blind; the teachers knew the Gospel, and preached it, although they had not realised Salvation for themselves. They are very near to the Kingdom, and had helped others to come as near as they had. Everyone in the town was very hearty, and I had an interesting talk with the people. Our evangelist goes there sometimes. The women folk there are glad to listen to the Gospel. One of the young men has come back to the station to complete his education ; the other is married. Their life- and behaviour is exemplary, and I trust that they will soon realise peace with God, through Jesus Christ. “ Another lad, long on the station, and long an inquirer, went to live in his town, and he, too, started evening prayers. He soon felt that hewas commending to others- what he had long sought, but had not yet found for himself. He began to seek very earnestly, and soon found the Saviour. He is now a member of the Church, and is letting his light shine. His brother told me to-day that they often have forty to their services. “ The natives themselves are waking up. Transport, railway, and the new influences brought to bear on the country have roused many from the brute-like dtupidity in which they lived, and lately I have been urged by many to visit them again, and to tell them God’s message. 1 Why do you not come oftener to visit us ? ’ I told them that I visit most often those who have ready ears ; had they not objected to listen to me in the past 1 ‘ Yes, but we will not do so again; come, we want to hear about these things,’ This is a decided change, and I have noticed it of late in many directions. 78 ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTH REPORT.

Now, in the end of February, the number is back to 144 ; and eight new girls have come in since the year closed. We shall probably find that according to our faith and provision so will be the supply of gir Is j the increase is remarkable just now that we are building a large girls’ house. The outpost schools at Tungwa and Makuta declined also during the year, very largely through lack of teachers. This received attention at Christmas time, and the schools in question have doubled since. The outpost schools at the close of the year did not number more than sixty-one scholars. The school teaching at the outposts needs constant attention, and is a very difficult matter when the numbers of the scholars exceeds the power of the evangelist. “T h e S u n d a y -s c h o o l has ¡been well maintained, and much appreciated by teachers and taught. The numbers are a little in excess of the day schools. “ T e m p e r a n c e . “ Happily the import of spirits is prohibited in our district, the Sovereign having decreed the Kwilu River as the eastern limit of the sale of alcoholic liquors in the Congo State. We are not without our drink problem, however. Palm wine, and, in some parts, beer made from malted maize, afford the means of drunkenness, and drink is always a snare. There is no Church rule on the matter, but all but three or four of our Church members are abstainers ; the exceptions are being asked to resume their pledge. Besides the Church members there are a good number of our scholars and adherents who have taken the pledge, altogether about 140. “M e d i c a l W o r k . “LMr. Bell is in charge of this, and the number of patients ranges from forty to seventy daily, including the station folk.

A series of Bible helps is in preparation,¡and there is every prospect of plenty to do. “A n n i v e r s a r y S e r v i c e s . “ The I Anniversary Services of the Church make a week of meetings from Christinas to New.Year’s Day, and twenty-one of our Tungwa and Makuta members travelled the sixty "intervening miles to be present, two of the women with babies on their backs. -» Others from the nearer towns also gathered, so that we had over 200 present The Diaconate was doubled, districts and schools reorganised, and many practical and helpful suggestions were mad \ A hearty tone prevailed, and the onen« “ These tokens of the Divine favour and blessing1 fill us with encouragement and h op e.” THE UPPER CONGO R IYE R. STANLEY POOL STATION. Reporting on the work of the past year at Stanley Pool, the Rev. J. L. Rogers writes :— “ The services on the station have been regularly conducted on Sundays and through the week. These are attended by our school children and workmen, and often by carriers; sometimes natives from towns near by. Several have professed conversion, and are now living earnest and consistent lives. My weekly Bible-class is still well attended, and the Christian lads and workmen who come thoroughly appreciate and enjoy the studying of God’s Word. We have lost two of our Christian lads by death through the year, one a Church member. He had a lingering painful illness, which he bore with bright Christian fortitude; and I shall never forget his death-bed. His testimony was a very blessed one. He assured me he was not afraid to die, for Jesus had pardoned his sins, and provided a mansion above for him. Some of the other boys were much touched as they saw him pass away, trusting in the Saviour whom he had learned to love. “ The Church collections this year have kept up wonderfully, considering the scarcity of food here at Stanley Pool; the poor children will often give the brass rods to the collections that they could have bought food with. During the year the little Church has collected 4,133 brass rods = in English money £8 5s. Id. “S c h o o l W o r k . “ Mr. Gordon has full charge of this part of our work. We have had an average attendance of thirty-six boys and girls, and they have made very satisfactory progress in all their classes. “ E vangelistic W o r k . “ Frequent journeys have been made by us to the Bambunu and Bamfuno country, and most places where we have gone the natives received us gladly, and listened with great interest to what we had to say about the Saviour. Many towns have been visited and new districts opened up. There is one specially I should like to mention. Ndundu, the chief of Kindundu, when we stayed at his town, several times came and asked to be told more about God’s palaver, and when I wanted a guide to show me the road to a district where no whites had been before, he volunteered himself. When his people were all against my going forward, he went and showed me the way. On arriving there the natives were very unfriendly, and the chiefs would not allow m3 to sing or have a service, and made plenty of trouble with Ndundu for bringing tho white man to their towns. At night, before I had retired, he came creeping in to my tent and asked me to tell him about the Son of God. Who can tell but there may be a work of grace begun in this man’s heart, and through him a door may be opened to that new part of the country. Thus we sow the good seed in faith, looking to God to give us the harvest, earnestly praying that ‘ the time may not be long,’ 7 80 OWE HUNDRED AND FIFTH REPORT. [1897. “ I n d u s t r i a l W o r k . “ This year we have been busy building ; have completed the visitors’ house, and have also put up a large new brick school and chapel. We have made and burnt some 90,000 bricks ; part of these we have sold, which brought in £30. All this work has been done by the native Congo lads with my close supervision. “ At Arthington we have many passing visitors, those that come down river, and also those passing up country; all stay longer or shorter times. Many of these visitors have been very sick here with ‘ continued fever ’—a fever that frequently attacks them as they come off the road. It has also been part of our work to nurse the sick, as the fever invariably runs twenty-five days. I am glad to report that on several occasions Dr. Sims, M.D., of the A. B. M. U., has been exceedingly kind in giving his advice and attention in some of the more serious cases, and out of the fulness of his heart for the love of God’s work his help has always been given gratuitously. W. Clayton Pickersgill, Esq., C.B., Her Majesty’s Consul-General at St. Paul de Loanda, was very sick when he arrived here on his return from Stanley Falls. His fever lasted sixty days, during which time I did all I could for him, and under God’s blessing he was able to resume his journey down country on the 28th December. He expressed his sincere gratitude for the kind attention and care the B. M. S. had given him during his sickness.” B0L0B0 STATION- In a recent letter from the Rev. George Grenfell, he writes :— “ Our school attendance now averages over 120. “ On the first Sunday in December two young women were baptized, and we hope to have another baptism service very soon. “ We make a point here of giving all our young people, as far as may be possible, some practical training, some practical preparation for their taking useful places in a progressive community. “ We have some forty youths under technical training in our various departments of work—engineers, carpenters, bricklayers, and printers. The engineers learn something of blacksmithing ; the carpenters have to be sawyers also ; and the brick layers to make and bum their own bricks. We have a kiln of bricks ready for burning just now. Printing, of course, includes bookbinding, and we are hoping to receive the Gospel of Saint John from the Department in a few days. One-third of the youths are Christians, and of course in all this Christian training is our first care. “ Bolobo is a terribly dark place, but, thank God, in His mercy He is causing His light to shine in the midBt of it, and our hearts are full of praise and courage because of the beginning we see of the coming of the Kingdom of His dear Son.” The Rev. J. A. Clark writes :— “ Soon after my arrival here I took charge of the school, which was then rapidly increasing in numbers. We have now some 140 scholars, for the most part very regular attendants. With so many it is necessary to have the assistance of several teachers. Miss de Hailes and my wife take classes regularly, and some of our senior boys help in teaching the juniors. We have school every afternoon except Saturdays, After the roll is called the children learn a verse or two of Scripture. I read a verse, or part of one, from the Gospel of Luke in the native language, and the children repeat it after me till they know it by heart. During the past two months they have learned in this way Luke vi, 20-49, After the Scripture lesson I sometimes give a 1897.] ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTH REPORT. 81 brief address. Then the classes are formed, the younger children—or rather the more recent arrivals, for some are young men—learn their letters, or read syllables from a large printed card, and afterwards write copies on slates. The more advanced read from books and write with ink. The senior scholars, besides reading and writing, do arithmetic, write from dictation, and learn a little French. On Thursday, December 24th, we gave prizes to those who had done the best. Amongst the prizes were a boat, a top, a few dolls, small boxes of tools, and. belts, and some bags con taining needles and cottons. The winners seemed highly delighted with them. “ Our Sunday-school has lately undergone a change—for the better, we believe. It used to be more of an informal children’s service than a school. But with the view of awakening more interest in it, as well as giving our Church members some useful work to do, a few weeks ago we organised a regular Sunday-school with most of the members of our Church as teachers. So far this has proved a great success both in increasing the attendance and the interest. Mr. Scrivener has a preparation class for the teachers on Sunday mornings before our usual service. “ I have begun a class on Friday evenings to help our young men who go to the towns to preach on Sunday afternoons, and hope it will prove very useful to them. The attentive hearing we are almost invariably accorded by the natives when we go to visit them gives us much encouragement. We do long to see the people forsake their superstitions and evil practices and believe the Gospel.” Miss L. de Hailes also reports very hopefully :— “ I am very glad to report we are having a good deal of encouragement in the work here. “ Where last year the people drove us away by throwing spears, sticks, mud, &c., they now are quite willing for us to go among them, and several gather around us in the morning, when Mrs. Clark and I visit them. We usually sit down on one of their large mats, and are soon surrounded by children, women, and men. We give medicine to any who need it, show them pictures, and talk to them, at the end showing them a Scripture picture and explaining it, and singing if they wish. “ This great change in the people may be a good deal due to the State having a post here, as the natives generally think it will be a help to them in their palavers if they are friendly with the missionaries. The school has grown very much, several coming in from the towns. When Mr. Clark came, he took the school, which then numbered 110. It still increases, and now we have a nice class of town girls. Mrs. Clark and I are both teaching in the school. On Saturday afternoon we have an extra class for the girls, when we teach them to sew and sing, and give them a short Bible lesson. On Friday afternoon I have a Bible-class for the women and girls on the station for an hour after school. “ Mrs. Clark and I-each have a town girl working for us; others have asked to come, but we are waiting until the house, which is being built adjoining mine, is ready for them. “ I do the medical work the first thing every morning. Several come in from the towns, and this I t.hinlc helps to make them friendly ; and three times a week I have the men’s night school.” THE BOLOBO HARBOUR FOR MISSION STEAMERS “ PEACE” AND “ GOODWILL.” The Mission Dock is at Bolobo, and that station is consequently the headquarters of the Mission steamers, the Peace and the Goodwill.

I have been constantly upon the river in the Peace, running between Bolobo and Stanley Pool. I have, indeed, to be thankful for good health since coming out; I have not lost a single day from my steamer work. Mr. Howell is up river with the Goodwill attending to arrange ments consequent upon the death of Brother Wherrett.” THE HANNAH WADE PRINTING PRESS AT BOLOBO STATION. Mr. Scrivener’s report of work done daring the past year at the Hannah Wade Printing Press has not yet been received. LUKOLELA STATION. In pursuance of the decision arrived at by the brethren, as fully reported last year, ib is the intention of the Committee to withdraw the European missionary from Lukolela, leaving the work there in charge of the native evangelist, Lusala, the bulk of the people having evacuated the place, and migrated into French territory on the north bank of the river. During the past year Mr. and Mrs. Whitehead have remained at Luko lela for the completion of the dictionary and grammar of the Bobangi language. They are now on the eve of taking furlough to England, and on their return to the Congo will probably be stationed at Sargent Station, on Upper Congo, in association with Mr. and Mrs. H. White. Reporting on Lukolela, Mr. Whitehead writes :— “ The Hannah Wade Printing Press was removed to Bolobo in March last, and with it went some of our most valued Church members, and we were left just three members (natives). Out here, when a little community is broken into like this, we miss one another very much, simply because while we are together we know so much of one another. And so we were very sad for a while. Then came a token of our Master’s remembrance, and the first two Bobangi young women confessed their Lord bef ore men, and they have been a joy to us ever since. And this last December, too, we'had the pleasure of baptizing a young married man, of whom we expect good things. May we be not disappointed. “ The meetings held in the village by Lusala every evening, and which were commenced at the beginning of December, have been continuously well attended, and the people at these meetings are beginning to be able to sing some of the hymns very creditably. Our little Church has at present a very healthy spirit in i t ; each of the male members (five) take turns to assist Lusala in the village meeting. We have also started a Sunday service at the State station by permission of Lieut. Schou, the officer in charge, but success there will be very doubtful owing to the numerous languages spoken, the common means of expression in such cases being of such a precarious nature that often, without a physical imperative, one is not understood.” 1897.] ONE HTTNDEED AND TIPTH EEFOET. 83 MONSEMBI STATION, From Monsembi Station the Rev. W. H. Stapleton reports that:— “ The past year has been singularly uneventful, and my report will hence be brief. Mr. Stonelake and I have been alone all the year, so with the exception of an itineration trip in the Derby to the towns on the other side of the river made by Sir. Stonelake in June, and occasional Sunday morning visits to the near towns, our work has been confined to the station agencies. Thanks, however, to remarkably good health, we have been able to prosecute these without a break. “ Mr. Stonelake has had charge of the boys’ school. He has fifty-four on the roll this month, but as he leaves off each month those who do not come fairly regularly the preceding month, this number by no means represents all who have been in the school during the year. “ Taking the girls’ school in the afternoon, alternately month by month, we have managed to keep the girls together, and. hope to do so until the ladies return to their work. Last month fifty-six attended. “ I have been working at St. John’s Gospel during the year, and have finished the first rough translation, and hope to print in about six months. The Gospel of St, Mark, translated last year, has been printed at Bolobo, and is in the boys’ hands. We have also got out a new hymn-book of forty hymns. The prospects for 1897 are- somewhat troubled. The river has risen to a height unknown before. When the- Goodwill came on December 4th, Mr. Howell and his wife just managed to get ashore. To-day (10th) there is not a dry inch of ground anywhere on the station ; the whole- place is covered with water to a depth of from one foot to three feet, and the water is still rising. The people’s cassava is all rotting in the farms, and famine is the certain result. The worst of it is, as this whole district is alike low-lying, this state o f' things exists for many miles on each side of us. At such times as these one longs for the ‘ hills,’ but as the only high ground in the land of the Bangala is at Nouvelle Anvers (the State station), we must make the best of it or leave the Bengala unevangelised. We shall need the prayers and sympathy of the churches in the coming days.” B0P0T0 STATION. The Rev. William L. Forfeitt, sending his annual report as to Bopoto-- Station, writes :— “ It is with a peculiar sense of gratitude to God that I do so, for we have been greatly cheered by welcoming two of our elder lads into Church followship after baptism. After six years of patient sowing amid many disappointments and the loss of some precious lives, the day of reaping has dawned upon our labours. These two lads have been with us throughout the whole period, and for two years past have given us every reason to hope that this joyful day would come. While other lads disappointed our hopes these remained steadfast, and I trust will be found worthy followers of the Saviour, whom they have confessed in baptism. One of them, Liminamina, was Mr. Oram’s first personal boy, to whom the lad owes much for the teaching and training he bestowed upon him. The Sunday-school at Devizes, by whom he has been supported, will welcome this good news. Since Mr. Oram died, Liminamina has been attached to our household, also doing excellent work in the school. He is a free-born lad, belonging to this place, and consequently has not taken this step without much opposition from his parents. 84 ONE HTTNDBED AND FIFTH BEPOBT. [1897. “ Likundu is the other lad, one of three who took refuge on board the Peace, some years ago, when on its way to tliis place, being threatened with death by his owner. He found salvation then from the oppressor ; but now he is rejoicing in salvation by faith in the Son of God. We shall not soon forget Sunday, December 13th, when these two lads were baptized. The Goodwill was here on its way to Yakusu, in charge of Mr. and Mrs. Howell, with Mr. Stonelake and Mr. Stephens on board. At 5 p.m., under the shadow of the Goodwill, and surrounded by a good company of natives, I had the joy of immersing the first converts from heathenism from this perhaps darkest centre of ‘ Darkest Africa.’ The same evening we gathered around the ‘ Lord’s Table,’ the two lads joining with us and receiving the ‘ right hand of fellowship.’ “ The work in our schools, boys’ and girls’, has been most encouraging. We have had a large increase in numbers and a much better daily average attendance. The girls are very heavy-hearted about the home-going of Mrs. Forfeitt, as this portion of our school work must of necessity lapse for a few months until the arrival of Mrs. Kirkland. “ Mr. Kenred Smith joined us at the commencement of the year when Mr. Kirkland left for furlough. He has been a great help to us, and has enjoyed exceptionally good health. Mr. Dodds has been with us about two months, so that the way is now clear for Mrs. Forfeitt and myself to take a rest of which I am specially in need. As the work grows we feel increasingly the need of three men always on the station, and we therefore hope Mr. Dodds will be permanently associated with us and so render it possible for us to reach the people in the interior, who speak a different dialect to that of the riverine population. “ A new and permanent school building is in course of erection, which will also serve as chapel. Our services have been well attended throughout the year, and with increased knowledge of the language it has been a pleasure to address atten tive audiences. The Gospel of Luke will, I trust, be in print shortly ; it is eagerly awaited by many of our young people who have learnt to read.” SARGENT OR YAKUSU STATION- In their last report the Committee gave detailed information as to the selection and occupation of Sargent Station on the Upper Congo, and pointed out the very great importance of its position, being “ only a few miles from Stanley Falls, which promises to become the ultimate capital of Central Africa.” In the words of Mr. H. White :— “ By the planting of this station the whole of the great main Congo highway has been occupied in the na.mp. of Christ.” In July last, Mrs. White, in company with the Rev. A. E. Wherrett, designated for Sargent Station, left England for the Congo, reaching Yakusu in September, when, by the arrival of Mr. Wherrett, Mr. Dodds was set free for work at Bopoto. In October, Mr. Wherrett wrote :— “ We have a splendid site here, and the people all around are very friendly and regard us as their personal friends. 1897.] ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTH BEPOBT. 85 “ There is plenty of work to be done, and wherever we look the need is great and urgent. “ I shall, indeed, be thankful when I can speak freely to these people of a Saviour’s love and of His power to save. God grant the day may soon dawn when in this place we may see many turning to the Lord, and His Kingdom extending far and near.” On January the 22nd a cable message reached England— “ Wherrett dead. Fever.” And under date of Sargent Station, November 24th, the Eev. H. White wrote :— “ I little thought that before I should write about the brightening of my own life and the brisker step of the days since the coming of my dear wife, with Albert Wherrett for a new colleague, I should be found about the heavy task of sending to the homeland beloved ones the saddest word about that so lately welcomed friend. And hard it is to believe that what I am about telling you is very fact. “ Yet true it is. For he comes not to partake of breakfast under our verandah thatch, though his time is past, and I am free to go on writing with oppressed heart as I think of that trying twenty hours in which a slight fever, as it seemed, was seen to kill a strong man, and a loving heart was stilled by death.” The tone and temper of Albert Wherrett is truthfully exhibited in the following message to his home circle, and written at Stanley Pool on the 27th of last August:— “ Whatever happens, be assured of this—no mistake has been made. I have found my work, but whether I have much or little to do here below, I know n ot; in any case, all is well.* My eternal safety lies in the precious blood of Christ, in whose merits I am trusting, so whether I live or die I am His, and am perfectly satisfied with His will. May all my dear ones be led to trust Him fully, and then we shall meet again in the blessed Homeland.” Surely—in the words of one who longingly looked forward to sharing the toils and joys of the devoted brother now called to higher service— ■“ Yakusu, by the death of Mr. Wherrett, is already claimed for Christ, and there cannot but be in store for its peoples rich blessing in the future.” On the 31st of December the Eev. J. E. M. Stephens reached Yakusu, and wrote :— “ I have just arrived here, and find Mr. and Mrs. White in better health than I •expected. They have had a sad time consequent upon losing our dear brother Wherrett. I am thankful the news reached me so early that I was able to come on to the support of Mr. White at once. They hope to be in their new house New Year’s Day. I am very hopeful of the future of Sargent Station. There are over a hundred people chattering at my back as I write this.” 86 ONE HONDBED AND FIFTB^BEPO BT. Ube M eet Jtibies flIMssion. BAHAMAS DISTRICT AND OUT ISLANDS.

To cope with the growth of membership, it has been needful to appoint three more office bearers, of the type we call leaders. In spite of the failure of the new fibre industry, our finances are in a better state than in the previous year. We look forward, indeed... to being entirely free by the end of 1897 from pecuniary help from the parent Society ; though we shall always rejoice in the thought that we shall never cease to be bound to the Society by other and better ties.

OUT ISLANDS. “ The state of the out-island work is, on the whole, pleasing. My visits to the churches have been attended with far clearer evidences of spiritual power than my previous visits to the same peoples. I have travelled over 1,400 miles during the year, and held services in thirty-one of our chapels. At Inagua I had the joy of baptizing- twenty-nine candidates. The new cause at Sullivan’s Settlement, Acklin’s Island, has completed a new chapel; while the old-established churches at Stevenston on Exuma, and Fairfield on Crooked Island, have been able to finish and make use of their new and larger buildings. Owing to the depressed state of the colony we hava lost many members by emigration.” TURKS AND CAICOS ISLANDS AND SAN DOMINGO. The Rev. J. H. Pusey, writing from Grand Turk, reports :— “ 1896 has been to us an unprecedented, year for its prevalence of drought and sickness ; the former allowed salt raking in the Turks Islands throughout the year, but it completely impoverished the agriculturists at the Caicos Islands and drove many from their homes in quest of a living. And the latter resulted in many deaths from our Church roll, all of whom have entered into their eternal rest and reward. “ At Grand Turk especially the most strenuous efforts have been made with a view to self-reliance and support, but the ‘ hill ’ is still called ‘ difficulty.’ “ The spiritual life of most of the churches is cheering, and we are able to report in five stations, six baptisms, and sixty-eight baptized. Our mission house has also its- share of sickness, and completely broken health of missionary and wife is the result. But, in our review, amid all these drawbacks, we confidently thank Him and. take- courage in His word : ‘ Lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world.’ ” TRINIDAD. PORT OF SPAIN. The Rev. R. E. Gammon sends the following report on the work of Port of Spain Church and on the churches in the Southern or San Fernand© district:— “ The year just closed has been one of hard, continuous labour, without many signs of progress ; all the usual work of the Church in Port of Spain has been steadily maintained, and the Sunday-school has slightly increased; we have a number of excellent teachers, who attend to their duties very regularly; a few of our younger members oonduct open-air services in the town every Sunday afternoon, and Mr. Gamble continues to conduct a small mission at Belmont. We have lost five by death. One of them was an old Portuguese member, baptized by the late Rev. Jno. Law about forty-six years ago ; another was Mr. W. A. Patrick, who was for many years our catechist at Chaguauas. In Port of Spain I have married fourteen couples. Messrs. Gamble, W. Cook, J. Elcock, W. Sealey, and B. F. Greenidge have, in turn, preached regularly at our small mission Btation, Chaguauas. The congregations have 88 ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTH REPORT.

One marriage at this station.” SOUTHERN DISTRICT- “ The total figures for the Southern district show a falling off, due principally to the large number (eighty-two) whose names were taken from the Princes Town roll for non-attendance and neglect of duty. At Princes Town the new church was completed in November last, and was opened for worship on Sunday, November 8th, by myself. The building is 46 feet by 25 feet; the height, from sill to sill, 15 feet; and it has a small vestry at the back, 9 feet by 8 feet, and a porch at the front, 8 feet by 7 feet. Eight of the churches report a slight increase, and four a decrease. In this district we had eleven marriages, and baptized forty-six. Since the New Year commenced I have baptized four candidates at Princes Town and twelve at Third Company. “ S t a t i s t i c s .

CALABAR COLLEGE, KINCSTON- “ The Committee have the pleasure of stating that the Rev. James Balfour, M.A., Classical and Mathematical Tutor, who was compelled tinder medical advice on account of serious and repeated attacks of illness to seek a change to his native land, returned to his duties in the month of January in good health, and is again at work in the College, and as Chairman of the Jamaica Baptist Union, zealously endeavouring to promote the interests of the churches associated in it. “ With reference to the repairs of the College premises, the Committee have to report that they have been proceeded with, as far as has been deemed expedient, in view of an important scheme for the removal of the Institution, as soon as practicable, to a more suitable site in the vicinity of Kingston, and the erection of more suitable buildings better adapted to the work and its extension in both the Theological and Normal School departments. This was submitted to the Committee by Mr. Balfour in a lengthened interview before his departure, and received a general expression of sympathy, but with a clear understanding that its initiation must come from the Committee in Jamaica. Accordingly, at the annual meeting of the General Com mittee, the subject was brought before it, and after a full discussion a resolution was unanimously adopted in its favour, instructing the Managing Committee of the College to obtain all information in respect to it, and requesting the Secretary to communicate thia to the Committee of the Baptist Missionary Society. As a first step the Jamaica Committee are now making inquiry as to a suitable site. “ During Mr. Balfour’s absence, arrangements were made for carrying on the work 1897.] ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTH REPORT. 89 of the College; but from various causes the results of the Government Christmas examination of the Normal School has not been so satisfactory as in former years. This is to be regretted. But plans are to be adopted to secure more satisfactory results in the future. The Jamaica churches are still evincing the deepest interest in the Institution, founded as it was by the Fathers of the Mission, and having sent forth a succession of native ministers and teachers, which are their strength and joy- “ Two Theological students were about to close their residence in the College in prospect of entering on their work as ministers of the G-ospel. Out of seven candidates for admission to the Theological department, four were accepted to commence their studies at the opening of the session of 1897 ; and of sixteen Normal School student candidates, nine were accepted for entrance.” THE JAMAICA CHURCHES. The forty-seventh annual report of the Jamaica Baptist Union gives a somewhat sad picture of the condition of the island during the past year. The Committee of the Union say :— “ In the report for 1895 it was stated that the commercial depression affected very seriously almost every branch of Christian work in that year. The year 1896 tells a sadder tale by far; and there is scarcely a written report that has come into the secretary's hands that does not join in the bitter cry, and speak of the excessively trying conditions under which the churches have pursued their course of service. Various causes are credited with the prevalent distress. In some cases, drought; in others, failure of crops; in others, low prices for products; in some, scarcity of employment; and in one report the new Agricultural Produce Buyers’ Law is said to have wrought great hardship among the people. !i Whatever the cause or causes, such expressions as 4 Poverty reigns,’ : People have not been able to come to the house of God for want of suitable clothing,’ ‘ This is the hardest year which we have ever experienced,’ coming from all portions of the country, to a greater extent, probably, than for the last thirty years, are indicative of a serious condition of affairs, to which due weight must be given in taking account of the work of the year just ended. “ Summarising the past year’s statistical information supplied, we arrive at the following figures:— Baptized...... 1,775 Restored...... 1,065 Received...... 444 3,284 Died ...... 558 Excluded...... 1,441 Dismissed...... 250 Withdrawn ...... 69 Erased ...... 938 3,256 Clear increase 28 90 ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTH REPORT.

Eighty- six churches report a net increase of 970, and 70 a net decrease of 942. Eleven churches report the same number of members as in the previous year ; and the membership of the twelve churches that have not reported is assumed to be the same as it was. “ Other items of statistical information are the following:—Chapel accommodation, 80,924; out-stations, 60—an increase of 15; class houses, 517; local preachers, 441; deacons and leaders, 1,659 ; inquirers, 4,135. The number of members now reported and assumed (in the churches that have not sent returns) is 35,033. “ Of active spiritual work there appears to have been no lack. Evangelistic services, either as a regular part of the Church’s labours, or during a special season, have been held, and have produced gratifying results. This was especially the case at Mount Carey, where a large number of persons were led to join the inquirers’ class. Many reports allude to the Church prayer-meetings in grateful terms, the occasions evidently being ‘ times of refreshing from the presence of the Lord.’ ” European flIMssions. BRITTANY AND ITALY. BRITTANY. PRINCIPAL STATION :-Morlaix. STATIONS...... 5 Missionary...... I Native Evangelists ...... 3 The Rev. Alfred L. Jenkins reports upon the work in Brittany and upon the present revival of the militant spirit of the clerical party, and writes :— “ This campaign has continued with unabated vigour, and we have not been without feeling its effects. There was a time when the Church of Rome was satisfied with the confessional and the pulpit to defend its position, but it has now taken to the press as a more powerful instrument, and in every important town it has now a newspaper of its own. All these newspapers, which are under the direction of a central committee, and bear a common name, ‘ The Cross,’ pour out every day an unmitigated torrent of abuse, insult, and calumny on Jews, Free masons, Protestants, and all such as are opposed to the claims of the Church of Rome. Morlaix has one of these publications, and we have been several times already taken to task in its columns. It has with great delight reproduced all the absurd attacks and complaints that have been made against the English missionaries in Algeria and in Madagascar, and it has represented us as being no better. It has gone as far as to say that our Mission was a political agency, and that our object was to pave the way for the annexation of Brittany to England. Its readers, have been warned of our nefarious designs, and advised to oppose them by every means in their power, and to give all the information they could of our doings. If these attacks had been made some twenty or thirty years ago they might have had 1897.] ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTH EEFOBT. 91 most mischievous consequences ; but the clergy here are too well-known for their accusations to carry much weight with the men in authority, or the people at large, and the only effect they have had, as far as I can see, has been to rouse to greater activity the clergy and their friends in all the localities where we have mission stations or attempt new efforts. “ MISSION STATIONS. “M o r l a i x . “ Owing to different circumstances, the year has been a trying one. We have lost eeveral friends, some of whom have gone to other parts of the country, whilst three who have taken work in connection with our Mission have gone to their own stations. Our growth in Morlaix is too slow to make up easily for such losses, so that in point of numbers we feel weakened. “ The work in the rural districts among the Breton-speaking population has, on the other hand, given us much satisfaction and encouragement. “ LAXNEAN o n . “ Our evangelist, Collobert, has carried on his work at this station with activity and zeal. The meetings in the mission hall have been held regularly, as usual, with an average attendance of thirty-five on the Sabbath. “T h e G u i l l y . “ I am glad to say that the G-uilly people have now their school, teacher, and evangelist. The school, an iron building, was brought over from London, and our friend Mr. Chopin and his wife, who had volunteered to go and undertake the work, entered upon their official duties in December, when the school was opened. There are at present twenty-one day scholars, and thirty who attend the evening classes, but as soon as the weather becomes more propitious, and if we can obtain the authorisation to take in girls as well as boys, the number of pupils will greatly increase. The services are held in the schoolroom on the Sabbath, and each time I have been there I have found a congregation of some eighty persons. “ Ca r t r a i x . t; We have not lost our hold on this small town, but through constant opposition the meetings had so far diminished that our colporteur, Hervet, who resides there, thought it advisable to discontinue them for a time. He has since bought a house in another part of the town, and is setting apart the large room on the ground floor for the meetings, which will henceforth be held here, with better prospects, as we shall at least be free from hostile neighbours. “ P r i m e l . “ Our evangelist, Lohon, and the Misses Jenkins have continued the good work on this little seaport, which I have myself visited once a fortnight. The congregations are not perhaps quite so large as when curiosity was an incentive to come, but those who attend are such as have felt the power of the truth and who come because they like to hear it preached. “ R o s c o f f . “ Last autumn our friend Contellec, who had returned from a two years’ course in Bangor and Harley College, took up the work at this place. He took charge of the Sailors’ Rest, of the reading-room, and of the meetings held twice a week in 92 ONE HTJNDBED AND FIFTH BEPOBT. [1897. connection with it. Mr. ConteUec has been able to do some good work at Roscoff among the Breton sailors. He has met them every day in the reading-room and at the meetings. The total attendance at the meetings during the three last months of the year has been 360, and at the reading-room, 1,060. “ Our friends, Hervet and Morvan, have continued with much zeal their work of colportage, and sold about 1,500 copies of the Scriptures. “ The last edition of the Breton New Testament having been entirely sold, I am at present reading the proof sheets of a new edition. The new translation of Genesis in Breton is being also printed, and I am also engaged, with the help of a Breton scholar, in making a new translation of the Psalms for the British and Foreign Bible Society.” ITALY, PRINCIPAL STATIONS: - NORTH ITALY—Turin and Genoa.

Landels reports :— “ Owr Membership showed a net increase of seven, and now stands at seventy. During the year sixteen new members were added to the Church, fourteen of them by baptism ; our losses, partly by death and partly by removal, were nine. Of the seventy members now on the roll, fifty-nine may be considered as effective, seven are residing out of Turin, and four are unsatisfactory. “ The Services, Classes, ¿¡c., held in connecfcioniwiththe work in this city, numbered 493. The amount of work that these meetings involve can only be appreciated when 1897.] ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTH BEPOBT. 93 it is remembered that Mrs. Landels and I are working here alone with no help except what is given to us by a colporteur, and by the people themselves. The attendance all round at the services was better than the year before, and this notwithstanding the removal of Signor Jahier and family to Susa. “ Our Halls.—The above meetings were held in three centres. Our principal hall in Yia Maria Vittoria is provided by funds from home. The expenses connected with the second in Yia Saluzzo are entirely met by contributions from our brethren. The third in Yia Frejus is in a private house, lent to us by one of our members. “ The English Service, with an average attendance of nineteen, was held once a fort night during the greater part of the year, and once a month during the summer season. It was much appreciated by the colony at Yia Frejus. “ Our Sunday-schools.—The work in connection with the Sunday-schools goes on from year to year with little variation. The same difficulties have always to be dealt with. The priests are untiring in their efforts to snatch our children from usr and we are as persevering in our endeavours to get them back when they have been taken from us. We have two small schools at present, with some fifty children ; the one meets in the morning in Yia Maria Vittoria, the other in the afternoon in Yia Frejus. “ Finances.—Our local balance-sheet totals up to rather less than last year. This is accounted for in part by the fact that we began the year with a much smaller balance in hand, in part by the afternoon service, with collection, having been suppressed for a considerable portion of the year. For general purposes we raised Lire 670.10, being Lire 116.11 less than last year, and Lire 749.24 for evangelistic work, an increase of Lire 22.74. In all the income of the Church amounted to Lire 1419.34, or £56 15s. 5Jd. nominal. Of this total, £4 6s. 6|d. was a balance from last year’s account, £4 was contributed by an English lady for the poor, the remaining £48 8s. lid. being raised by the people themselves.” SUSA AND DISTRICT. “ During the first nine months of the year Signor Jahier continued his most successful mission among the mountains around Susa. The meetings in the several stations continue to be well attended, numerous conversions took place, and eight persons confessed Christ in baptism. In the month of October Signor Jahier left Susa to become Mr. Shaw’s assistant in Florence, and Signor Baratti came from Leghorn to take his place. Hardly had the latter settled in his new home when he was seized with bronchitis, and has been more or less ailing during the whole of the winter. “ Susa and Mompantero.—The work |here goes on steadily, the meetings being better attended than we could have hoped, considering the many difficulties to be dealt with. During the year 1896 a number of conversions took place, five persons confessed Christ in baptism, and the Church now numbers eighteen members. All the local expenses, including the rent of the hall, are met by the brethren. “ Meana.—The work in Meana is always of the deepest interest to all those who know anything of it. Not only are the usual meetings held in our hired hall, but extraordinary services are held once a fortnight in the different villages, sometimes in a bam, sometimes in a hay loft, or sometimes in a private house, and are frequented by sixty, eighty, or even 100 persons. “ Gravere.—Here, too, we have now a regular place of meeting, the services being as well frequented as the smallness of the hall will allow. We hope during the coming months to form a Church; a number of persons confess conversion, and are asking for baptism. On the 29th of June we held a camp meeting in a field near to the principal village, which was attended by about 600 persons. 94 ONE HTTNDBED AND FIFTH BEPOBT.

Signor Nardi G-reco reports “ We are glad to be able to report that the year 1896 was a time of blessing for the work in Genoa. “ We received during the year into Church fellowship twelve new members, all of them converts from Catholicism. “ Four of our members left for South America, and are now regularly attending the Baptist Church in Buenos Ayres, under the care of Sig. Besson. Other two were called away to glory. “ In regard to Sunday-school work there has been little or no change. We now have seventy-four children who attend regularly. The members of the Church number 145. The public meetings are always crowded. The New Year has begun well, as eight new converts have already asked to join the Church. “ We have collected during the year about a thousand francs, and spent about nine hundred. Among other things we collected fifty francs for the persecuted Armenians.” THE TUSCAN DISTRICT. FLORENCE. The Rev. X. H. Shaw reports :— “ No place on earth needs the Gospel more than Florence, the proud centre of Italian art and literature, and perhaps no people are more difficult to evangelise than the Florentines. Cold and imperturbable as their statuary, critical to the last degree with respect to their language, they seem sometimes incapable of any but a superficial interest in the Gospel, of whose facts some of the most intelligent of them are woefully ignorant. “ Notwithstanding all these difficulties and the extreme poverty of many of our brethren—poverty which becomes at times distressing to the last degree—the cause at Florence is in a very hopeful state. “ Seven persons have been baptized during the year and two others received by letter ; our congregations have grown and are often very cheering. We have had many conversations with persons who have owned the power of the truth over their" consciences, and many intelligent men, who yet refuse to show any signs of approval, by coming so frequently and listening so attentively give us reason to hope that God’s Spirit is striving with them. Although our incidental expenses have been considerably increased since entering upon the new locale, the Church has met them with only a small deficit, and has raised for all purposes during the year the sum of 1897.] ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTH EEPOET. 15 814 Italian lire, equivalent to £32 12s. English. Sig. Allegri received warm manifestations of affection, together with a small, present, from the brethren on his leaving for Leghorn ; his successor Sig. Jaliier has been most cordially received, and is preaching and working1 with, signs of usefulness ; and there is a general expectation amongst us of blessing to be experienced during the present year.” LEGHORN. “ A variety of circumstances—amongst them the departure of some brethren and the defection of others—have weakened the Church of Leghorn, so that Sig. Allegri has had to make almost a new beginning there. But he already sees signs of encouragement; the congregations, though small, are growing, and the Sunday- school is being worked with hopefulness. “ Sig. Allegri is especially encouraged by his visits to the outlying towns and villages, where he talks to the people in their houses and by the wayside, distributing tracts, with results that are very cheering. I should like to quote largely from some of his reports, which are very interesting, if space would permit. This is true missionary work and much needed, but its results are not such as bulk largely in statistics. Visits have been paid to Pisa, Viareggio, Cecina, Fanglia, Pastina, Santa Luce, Colie Salvetti, Popogua, Valle Benedetta, Colognole, Gabbo, Vada, Castiglioncello, Resig- nano, Orciano, Castellina, Panaia, Lorenzana, Nugola, Vicarello, Castelnuovo della, Misericordia, Nibbiaia, and various other places.” PRATO. “ We have not yet obtained a locale at Prato. The few brethren we have there are regularly visited from Florence, and a meeting is held in a private house. One woman has been brought to the Saviour during the year. We are earnestly looking for a place in which we may preach the Gospel more publicly.” CENTRAL, OR ROMAN, DISTRICT. THE CITY OF ROWE. Reporting upon work in the City of Rome during the past year, the Rev. James Wall writes :— “ The past year has been one of disaster to Italy. The army, in which she most confided, and which seemed to be the proof of her return to ancient discipline and organisation, by one tremendous blow was shattered. The nation wept, and yielded to discouragement. “ At this juncture, the Pretender of the Vatican came to the front, and when a Catholic and a Conservative succeeded Signor Crispi in the Government, it seemed' as though the moment of revenge was at hand. There was a shaking among the dry bones, but no resurrection, and then silence. Not, however, before the Vatican had let us Protestants see what was in store for us if Catholicism returned to power but for a very short time. This was seen, not so much at our central meeting as at our sub-stations, and out in country places. The service was disturbed by ‘ lewd persons of the baser sort,’ the notices torn, the panes smashed, and the brethren inviting passers-by to enter were insulted; processions were even attempted, but the popula tion refused to stand this, and hooted them back to the churches.” 96 ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTH BEPOBT. [1897. THE CHURCH IN LUCINA. “ At the special meeting for worship in our midst the struggle is as great as at any other point, and is with spiritual evil in heavenly places. The number of our Church members is considerable, the visitation of them is regular, and discipline is strictly maintained. This is the part of the Mission which takes most out of one, and is one in which one sees G-od at least as much as in any other branch. It is very cheering to see the young convert grow in zeal and unfold gifts for the work, but grievous to see the hand wither or the eye grow dim, and the sickness that brings on sleep in the sin that is unto death. “ Our meeting on the Sunday morning is like the muster of soldiers after the fight. Our brethren come together after a week of struggle, and as we look round and mark the missing we wonder whether they have fallen or been captured by the enemy. On the Monday morning the lists are examined, and the visitation recom mences. This is laid upon us by the peculiar position we occupy. The secret police of the Vatican is complete in its organisation, and is sure to detect any weakness in our midst, and seize the opportunity of striking a blow or of carrying off the hind most. We often come to open fight with the enemy, who certainly receives more than he gives.” “ STATISTICS FOR THE ROMAN MISSION, 1896. “ S t a t i o n s i n R o j ie .— S e r v i c e s a n d T o t a l s o f A t t e n d a n c e s .

With regard to Sunday-schools Mr. Wall writes :— I always try to get a Sunday-school established wherever we have preaching. In Rome we have eight preaching-stations, with a Sunday-school at each one. It is difficult to secure this where we have no day-schools, as is the case with us here ; but it has to be done, so my colleagues make the attempt and succeed in the measure shown by the following statistics. “ The number of scholars on the registers during the past year is as follows :—589 in the first quarter, 678 in the second, 557 in the third, and 556 in the fourth. The average number of names on the books was, therefore, close on 600. “ These schools are entirely composed of Italians, and chiefly of nominal Catholics. Our staff of teachers includes evangelists, Bible-women, and others. The classes are supplied with weekly magazines, with New Testaments, or with Bibles, as may be deemed advisable. The teachers meet once a week for prayer and preparation. The schools continue through the year. Every Thursday in sis of our halls the girls are gathered together for sewing and for a Bible lesson. A Christian Endeavour Society exists at the centre, which is at present full of life and activity. Occasionally a magic-lantem service is given to the children. There is a Children’s Club at one of the schools. ROME,« YIA URBANA. The Rev. J. Campbell Wall, who has charge of the work in the Yia TJrbana, writes:— “ In Yia Urbana the statistics show an increased attendance at worship, Sunday- school, Bible study, and evangelistic services. The total of attendances is 21,809, or 3,707 more than last year. ■“ During our absence in the hot months, Sig. Petocchi supplied both stations, and on our return to Rome the Church expressed their deepest gratitude to him for his devoted services. Five men and three women have been baptized during this year, four other converts being at present before the Church. The Church is composed of fifty regular members, thirty-Bix of whom have been baptized within four years. “ The average attendance at Sunday-school has been fifty, sixty-five names being on the roll during the last quarter.” VIA DEGLI EQUI. Of the work in Via degli Equi, Sig. Petocchi writes :— “ This Mission is as difficult as ever. The power of the priests and the terrible degradation of the people in this suburb are indeed such that only the desire not to abandon one of the darkest points in the city, and our faith in a miracle-working Gospel, cause us to continue the fight. “ We are grateful that in spite of all opposition there have been some encouragements. The conversion of one of the most popular and worldly among the .young men, and the baptizing of a whole family (father, mother, and son), have influenced many in our favour. “ During the year the attendance at this station has necessarily suffered. The total is only 4,690 ; but at present the services are more promising, and we trust they will continue to improve. A death-bed conversion has just thrown open some new doors for the entrance of the truth, the funeral service being largely attended by neighbours and friends.” 8* 98 ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTH REPORT. SPOLETO. “ Our visit to Spoleto this summer was the means of great blessing. “ This work has hitherto been full of encouragements.

NAPLES. The Rev. Robt. Walker reports :— “ During the year that is ended we have had a good deal to encourage us, as well as a good many trials. Some of our oldest members have given us trouble by their apparent loss of interest in the Church and in the work ; but, on the other hand, we- have had a larger number of new hearers, and have gained a larger number of" adherents than in previous years. Our young people have proved very helpful, and. some of them give promise of becoming useful Christian citizens. “ In Mrs. Walker’s class for young women is a source of comfort also. Two more have joined the Church from it this year, and we hope to see more of them follow their example soon. We are giving special attention now to the cultivation of the Christian life in the homes of the brethren ; for if we can see life in the family all' for Christ, we know it will tell powerfully for good.” AYELLINO. “ But a few words need be said of the work in Avellino.

The priests have great power, and they have not hesitated to use it in every possible way 1897.] ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTH REPOET. 99 to harass and hinder the work of our Mission. First they tried to have us turned out of our new locale, and caused us both trouble and expense in defending our rights. Then, having failed in this, they visited the home of every person who came to the hall, and succeeded in so working on their families and friends that everyone of them —and there were very many—except the two or three old evangelicals, left off attend ing. Their work has so far succeeded that very few of the people will even look at Signor Tummolo on the street or exchange a word with him. Our hope and prayer is that a reaction will soon set in, and then we may see better things.” CALITRI- “ Signor Barone writes most hopefully of the work here. There have been a good many trials, some old members becoming worldly, and others thwarting the efforts of Signor Barone and his friends ; but the Lord has sustained and helped him. “ In November last I brought Signor Besesti from Trevico to Caserta, and now Signor Barone visits the brethren at Trevico as well as attending to the Calitri work. At Trevico there are five or six baptized believers, to whom others would ere now .have been added if access to Trevico were easier and cheaper.” CASERTA- ‘'•’We have not yet begun to form a Church in Caserta. Signor Libonati’s illness prevented him from preaching even once. At first I went out and preached twice a week from Naples, but found it impossible to do justice to the work in Naples and in Caserta, so I brought Signor Besesti down to work until we should see how Signor Libonati would be able to do. It was the Lord’s will to call Signor Libonati away from his work on earth, and so Signor Besesti has until now continued to conduct the meetings and to evangelise in the town.” THE CENTENARY FUND.

The Balance Sheet closes with a balance due to the Treasurer of £5,445 1 1 S . lOd. With regard to this adverse Balance, tlie Committee have unanimously resolved tliat the unappropriated Balance in Sand of the Centenary Fund (£1,440 11s. 4d.) and the realised profit upon the investment of the Centenary Fund (£3,935 14s. 5d.) shall he applied to the extinction of the Beht, leavingr only a Balance of £03 Os. Id, while preserving intact the sum invested to provide for specially designated Cen tenary Fund contributions. This Balance of £03 Os. Id. has heen extinguished hy the generosity of the Treasurer, and the Committee are thus ahle to present a clear Balance Sheet, the whole ot the Deht having heen liquidated. With regard to the future, however, it must not be forgotten that the new year will not have the help of the grant from the Centenary Fund dor 102 ONE HUNDRED A U D 'i.TlH REPORT. [1897 the ten additional missionaries already sent out, as the £ 1,000 OS. Od. for this purpose, drawn from this fund for three years past, now ceases, and the whole of the maintenance expenses of these additional brethren becomes a charge upon the general income of the Society for the current year. W hat tbe Society really needs to meet present annual liabilities, and to permit of urgently called-for advance and rein forcement, is an increase in the annual income of £10,000 Os. Od. If only a like amount to tbe sum so spontaneously given to meet tbe terrible needs of tbe famine-stricken in India could be secured annually, in addition to tbe present income, the anxiety of tbe Committee in relation to finance would disappear and a great burden be removed. Is the present scale of Christian giving for the proclamation of the Gospel of Christ in any adequate proportion to either the resources of our churches or our personal expenditure ? Are there not some in our churches who will consecrate themselves and their wealth to this Divine enter prise by becoming self-supporting missionaries and realising the sublime and lofty privilege of being fellow-workers with Him “ who though H e was rich for our sakes became poor ?” The Divine Master’s last commission was— “ G o Y e aot) P reach t h e Gospel to e v e r y Cr e a t u e e ” ; and in loyal obedience some have already responded, and have caught something of the enthusiasm for missionary work which has been the saving health of the Church of Christ in all ages. Some hearts have been opened to a deeper sense of the lofty privilege of giving as fellow- workers with God to help on the spread of His Kingdom upon earth. Not a few of our churches, thank God, are rejoicing in the experience that they can only really be strong and prosperous in the measure in which they 1897.] ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTH REPORT. 103 live beyond themselves, finding scope in the regions beyond for the free exercise of their generous instincts and noblest energies. The fountain of true love must flow forth into all the world if the waters are to be kept pure and sweet. To-day to tjs a great opportunity is given. Harvest fields are already white if we will only “ lift up our eyes” and behold them. The peoples of India are inquiring wistfully about Christ, and many are already trembling upon the borders of the Kingdom. “ To-day hundreds and thousands of the people who eschew the Christian name are rapidly imbibing the Christian spirit.” In China the old order passeth away, ancient faiths are being extinguished, and there is the Divine hunger for rest and satisfaction, many “ feeling after G od ” if haply they may find Him.” In Africa another vast continent has been opened up, and the millions of that mysterious, degraded, slave-hunted land are stretching out hands in the darkness and appealing for help to their more favoured brothers and sisters living in the light. An opportunity and responsibility never before ¡known confront us to-day. The Master’s word for the unsatisfied hungry multitudes is “ Give ye them to eat.” Oh, for the s p ib it that burned in the hearts of the ever memor able Serampore Brotherhood as embodied in their lives and labours and set forth in the special Form of Agreement, solemnly drawn up and signed by them in 1805. “JPrayer—secret, f ervent,believing prayer — tlie root of all personal godliness —a heart given up to God in closest religion. “ Let us give ourselves unreservedly to this glorious cause. “Lei us never think that our time, our gifts, our strength, our families, or even the clothes we wear are our own. Let us sanctify them all to God and His cause. Oh, that He may sanctify us for His work! * * * * and let us continually 104 ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTH REPORT.

The day is beginning to break. We have already passed the dull grey that is the first advance herald of the early morning, and even the purple and crimson tints that tell of the coming golden glory, The Sun of Righteousness, blessed be G od, is rising on the world and of the ultimate triumph of the Gospel there can be no doubt. “ As truly as I live all the earth shall be filled with the glory of the L o r d .” “ His Name shall endure for ever.
