Mrs. Thomas Nicholson, Mount Vernon, Iowa. Dear Mrs. Nicholson: At the first meeting of the Board of Missions and Church Extension in Chicago, July 23-25, 1940, the Board voted to continue appropriations for the work now in effect in the various uniting Societies for this calendar year, 1940, subject to review by the General Executive Committee. As to the date on which the Board regarded itself as responsible for the administration and promotion of the missionary work of The Methodist Church, the following action was taken "The new Board of Missions and Church Extension assumes responsibility for administration and promotion as of July 25, 1940." Furthermore, the Board adopted the following resolution: "Resolved: That the responsible officers of the three Administrative Di- visions administer appropriations for the balance of 1940 through the respective existing Corporations of the former Methodist Episcopal Church, Method- ist Episcopal Church South, and Methodist Protestant Church, in conjunction with the Executive Sub-committee of said Division." In view of these resolutions, as the President of the Woman's Division of Christian Service of the Board of Missions and Church Extension of The Methodist Church, I am now transmitting this authorization through you to

12 Proceedings 13 the Executive Committee of the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church.

I should be pleased if you would acknowledge this letter and indicate your purpose to carry out the above action of the Board of Missions and Church Extension. Sincerely yours,

(Signed) Mrs. J. D. Bragg, President.

It was voted that we receive the communication of the President of the Woman's Division of Christian Service of the Board of Missions and Church

Extension of The Methodist Church and that we reply as follows : The Woman's Foreign Missionary Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church accepts until December 31, 1940, the responsibility of administration such as payment of current work on the field, missionary salaries at home and abroad and necessary travel to and from furlough as well as administrative expense at home and abroad. The Society also agrees to continue the administration of fields through the present corresponding secretaries until December 31, 1940 or until the new Board is ready to function. It was voted that a letter of felicitation be sent to Mrs. Bragg as President of the Woman's Division, by the secretary, as well as the communication mentioned above. The ad interim actions of the general officers were read by the secretary and were approved.* It was voted that a letter of thanks and appreciation be sent Miss Decker by the secretary for her generous action. (See actions of general officers.) The general officers presented the following recommendation to the Com- mittee on Memorials with the request that it be included in recommendations to be offered to the Woman's Division of Christian Service: "That the present treasurer of the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society be continued on a volunteer basis as associate treasurer of the Woman's Division of Christian Service." An amendment "for the present quadrennium" was offered and accepted. The amended resolution reading as follows: "That the present treasurer of the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society be continued for the present quadrennium as associate treasurer of the Woman's Division of Christian Service, on a volunteer basis," was accepted and referred to the Committee on Memorials. The ad interim actions of the unit meeting were read by the secretary and were approved.** It was moved and seconded that we recommend to the Woman's Division of Christian Service that there be two associate treasurers on a volunteer basis. After discussion the motion was withdrawn.

We recommend that the present associate treasurers be continued for the quadrennium. We recommend that each conference finance the subscription for The Methodist Woman and World Outlook for each of their own missionaries and deaconesses. We recommend that there be a mite box for use in the Woman's Society of Christian Service. We recommend that the tie-up between the Jurisdiction and the Woman's Division of Christian Service be strengthened in every way possible. We recommend that missionary projects (field support) be personalized through assigning missionaries to conferences. (Institutions and stations assigned to conferences would be very valuable in stimulating support for such projects.) We recommend that provision for a fund to send magazines to missionaries be referred to the Standing Committee on Library Service of the Woman's Division. We recommend that the Woman's Division of Christian Service appoint Miss Clementina Butler on the Committee on Christian Literature for Women and Children in Mission Lands.

RiiPORT OF Resolutions Committee The General Executive Committee of the Woman's ^-oreign Missionary Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church, meeting in final session at Evan- ston, Illinois, October 23-25, 1940, makes reverent acknowledgment of the Divine Power that has led the Society forward through seventy-one years of service in bearing the good news of Jesus Christ and his way of life to the women and children of foreign lands. From the achievements of the past we turn with sober face to the present and the immediate future. We realize that the upheaval and distress of the world today call Methodist women to fresh Christian insights and to new- duties. Millions in Asia and Europe are near starvation; missions and missionaries are cut off from the support of their homeland; refugees are in need of help to start life anew; thousands of American boys are in training camps without physical comforts or moral protection; others for conscience' sake refusing military training will be in need of understanding and counsel; flames of intoler- ance, fear and suspicion are spreading to this country undermining justice and goodwill. These things, and many others in the dark world picture, summon Methodist women to sacrificial living and giving such as most of us have never known. For these reasons this General Executive in its last meeting is impelled to send this message to the enlarged sisterhood of Methodist women, suggesting certain ways of touching the problems mentioned.

The World Mission Imperative We recommend That the extreme urgency of the missionary enterprise be emphasized throughout the Church in these days of anti-Christian spirit, attention being called to certain salient points, as follows: (1) that the only unbroken international bond in the world today is that of the Christian fellowship. (2) that the one and only solution for the desperate world situation, and the one hope for an enlightened future, lie in a creative faith in a God of love, and the Christian way of life. (3) that the greatest gift we can bestow upon a suffering humanit}' continues to be the news and the evidence of the love of Christ. (4) that the organization of Methodist women, in its missionary outreach is the greatest single agency in the world for special ministry to the world's womanhood and childhood; that it offers unparalleled opportunity to take hold of the world's need. (5) that not only should the work of missions go steadily forward, but it should be increased and intensified in its demonstration to the world of the power of Love to change and lift life. We further recommend That we reaffirm publicly and privately our unshaken faith in the promises of God, and in the ultimate triumph of righteousness, and that we demonstrate this faith by sacrifice and self-giving far beyond what we have yet shown.

"Orphaned" Missions and Missionaries

Mission stations, cut off from their European bases are appealing to American Christians to help. Disasters of war and acts of government are requiring readjustments, transfers, rehabilitation. There is urgent need to — —— — —

Proceedings 17

redouble our efforts to meet this emergency situation. It is therefore recommended That we endeavor to match with corresponding courage and sacrifice the heroism and suffering of those who work under privation and difficulty, or who see the work of their life-time in apparent eclipse; that we assume with gladness whatever additional share of support may devolve upon us that Christianity may continue to shed its light in far places. Overseas Relief

It is recommended That in order that our gifts to Overseas Relief may be made and administered in the name of Christ, they be sent to our Church agency, The Methodist Committee for Overseas Relief, care of Bishop Herbert Welch, 150 Fifth Avenue, New York City. This committee in turn allocates the funds received to operating agencies such as the International Missionary Council, the American Friends Service Committee, the American Committee for Christian Refugees, and others.

Public Opinion on the Hunger Blockade

Sufficient pressure of public opinion in America is essential if action is to be secured to relieve the imminent starvation of millions of innocent victims, 10,000,000 of them children, in the smaller European countries this winter. It is recommended That all women read the statement concerning ''these war-torn people caught between the millstones of the German occupation and the British blockade,"—a statement issued by the four European relief organizations (Belgium, Holland, Norway, Poland) located at 420 Lexing- ton Avenue, New York, and that they mail at once an affirmative answer to the question, "Does the plan (Hoover plan) proposed for preventing starvation in the occupied countries meet with your approval."

Disinherited Children Millions of dispossessed children, deprived of the fundamental rights of childhood, of parents, home, love, must become wards of the older generation. Herein lies an obligation, a challenge, a hope. God can make the wrath of man to praise him if these children can be so nurtured and trained under Christian auspices as to rebuild the world on the blueprints of the Church of Christ. Women are the world's natural teachers. Twenty million children in our own country receive no religious training. Through the W^orld Federation, our missionary enterprise, and our enlarged membership, a door of opportunit}- which no man can shut is wide open before the women of Methodism. We can- not reform the past. We may form the future. We recommend therefore That our women maintain and increase missionary work for children; contribute to funds for Christian literature for children; encourage goodwill projects between children of different countries; support missionary education plans for children in the local church; open their homes for the care of refugee children. The Immediate Youth Problem

Regarding Training Camps, it is recommended That through personal efforts and religious and civic group action^ we share responsibility for (1) Prohibiting sale of intoxicating liquor in training camps and adjacent territory. (2) Helping provide wholesome leisure time opportunities. — — —

(3) Safeguarding and promoting the moral and spiritual welfare of men in uniform by use of nearby church and civic facilities and personnel. It is further recommended That we give moral support to those who are conscientiously following their convictions in relation to military service; that we cooperate with the proper agencies in suggesting alternate lines of work which could be substitutes for military service.

Tolerance In the face of the rising tides of prejudice, hate and suspicion w'ithin our country and around the world, it is recommended That we exercise Christian faith and charity in our daily conduct and speech, believing that such exercise will lead to that tolerance, re- straint, and clear judgment so needed by every citizen of a democracy today. Good Stewards The present demands upon the Christian to share himself and his means with his suffering fellowmen are multiple and will increase. Nevertheless, we declare it as our conviction that if all those who bear the name of Christ will accept seriously their stewardship in the Kingdom the necessary resources of material means and personal power will be available. Therefore we recommend That a fresh emphasis be laid upon stewardship as the Christian conception of personal commission and responsibility.

Pray without Ceasing Finally, since through the love of Christ and the fellowship of prayer Christians are holding a shattered world together, we therefore, as Methodist women, a part of this world-wide fellowship, hereby resolve to make use of the inexhaustible resources of prayer, calling on all others to join with us to Pray—For peace. That those in whose hands rests the destinies of nations may awake to the futility of war. Pray—That divine wisdom may reach into the councils of men, replacing force and rigid nationalism with the will to understand and cooperate in peace- ful solutions for world problems. Pray—That the mind of Christ shall so possess us that we shall be peace- makers in thought, word and deed. Pray—That this mind through us shall help to stem the currents of racial antagonism and divisive fear sweeping across the world. Pray—That by sacrifice, self-giving, and sincere study, the women of Method- ism shall meet the coming days of reconstruction with understanding, justice and mercy. Pray—For God's comfort and courage for the suffering multitudes of the world, especially the widowed and orphaned in all lands. Pray—For strength and divine sustaining for our missionaries in the uncer- tainties and hardships of present chaotic conditions. Grant to them and to us to foresee a resurrection of power through the crucifixion of these days. Pray—That the spiritual fellowship of those joined in the bond of Christian love shall remain unbroken through death and disaster, through princi- palities and powers, and continue to build the Kingdom of God on earth.

She expressed the mingled feelings of the members of the General Executive Committee as they come to the close of the final session regret at the merging of the Society which has served so conspicuously for seventy-one years into a new organization, but at the same time, joy for the new avenues of service opening up. Mrs. Nicholson then declared the seventy-first session of the General Executive Committee of the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society adjourned.

Eloise Andrews Woolever, Recording Secretary. TRANSITION This has been a year of continuation and transition in the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society. We have attempted to maintain our work in every line, at the same time to adopt and enter into a new organization with all its countless adjustments. In driving through the country the other day, I passed over a good road, somewhat curving, it is true, and not very wide, but a good substantial road. Many cars were traveling along this route. Across the country, I saw a super- highway being built, running to the destination I was bound for, a beautiful six track road, with the sharp curves taken out, cuts made through the hills, a road capable of carrying much more traiific and at a much faster rate of speed and carrying it safely. I wondered if that were an illustration of our situation in the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society. We have been building a new road while maintaining all the usual traffic over the old road. I like driving over the old road—it's a lovely road—but I know for the new day it is not adequate. There is too much traffic. The demands of transportation are too great. The new road is essential for the new day. So we have come to believe that a new uniting organization is essential for Method- ist women, and our W^oman's Foreign Missionary Society has entered enthusi- astically and whole-heartedly into this new Society—the Woman's Division of Christian Service of the Board of Missions and Church Extension. Much of our time and effort this past year has been devoted to setting up the new organization. Through local, district, conference and jurisdictional provi- sional meetings, the Woman's Division of the new Board of Missions and Church Extension was made up. The Woman's Foreign Missionary Society was honored in that one of its members was elected president of this Division, Mrs. J. D. Bragg. Other members were placed in important places of service. No sooner was the Board organized than again we were busy organizing the new Society in local church, conference and district. The hundreds of thousands of charter members, the crowded conference meetings, sometimes making necessary overflow meetings, the outpouring of money in membership offerings all testify to the enthusiastic reception the churches are giving the Woman's Society of Christian Service. Many ministers are saying that the new organization is revolutionizing their churches, bringing new life and vitality and aiding in a spiritual recovery. This is not saying that many problems have not been met, and they are not all solved by any means. There are still unfinished portions of the road we are building, the shoulders are still rough, the protective devices and the guiding signposts are not all in place, but the building is going on and soon traffic will begin to flow over the highway. But at the same time that we have been so largely engaged in this new undertaking, traffic has been going on as usual over the old road. There has been no cessation of effort and the results are evident. We report this year 15,298 organizations with 335,967 members. We could hardly expect to advance in this year of transition, and indeed we do have to report a decrease in organizations and members, but the wonder is that it is not larger. Although the Society was so soon to lose its identity, new members were enrolled and new auxiliaries organized. In three Branches alone 2,065 new members were enlisted. The receipts for the vear were almost equal to those of the great Seven- tieth Year of 1938-1939. total receipts were $1,504,928.11, from the Branches $1,318,319.27. Ten Branches met their appropriation in full. And in addition to the regular appropriations the Branches raised a special fund beyond 21 22 Transition

appropriations, a love gift. For Christian Literature $6,638.66 came in through this effort, to assist several literature enterprises on the foreign field and $1,443.06 for the World Federation of Methodist Women. When the year was almost half over word came that more than two hundred thousand dollars additional would he needed to meet the Society's obligations to its retiring missionaries. The call went out to the Branches and the full amount of this extra large asking was raised or pledged. This achievement was outstanding in consideration of the fact that during the Seventieth Anniversary celebration thousands of dollars had been raised for the Retirement Fund. Beciuests were received by the Branches totaling $71,482.52; lapsed life income gifts, $15,668.90; and the Thank Offering amounted to $183,098.66. Not all the Branches were able to hold annual Branch meetings but several did and these became almost inaugural meetings for the Woman's Divi- sion of Christian Service. All Branches are obliged to continue as incorporated bodies and must fulfill legal requirements for preserving funds. The names of the members of these incorporated bodies are listed elsewhere in this Year Book. During the year one change in Branch officiary was made necessary by death. Miss Ella M. Watson, the beloved corresponding secretary of Topeka Branch for more than thirty years, died while on her way to attend the mid- year meeting of the Society at Atlantic City. Miss Mary Shannon, Ph.D., retiring president of Isabella Thoburn College, was elected to take her place.

Wesleyan Service Guild

The Wesleyan Service Guild, as always, shows a healthy increase. Twenty-five new units have been organized. The Guild brings to a close twenty years of continuous growth in membership, in the number of tithers, the number of organizations, and in subscriptions to the two missionary magazines. During the year it has contributed $385,882 to Kingdom building. During the last three years, stewardship has been stressed continuously, a stewardship secretary added to the central committee, and unit members encouraged to become Christian "budgeteers." Two women have gone out as missionaries, one to Kwassui College in Nagasaki, Japan, one to Ewha Col- lege in Seoul, Korea. With this victory one looks with anticipation to the future of the Guild with its field of 600,000 Alethodist women in the business, professional and industrial life of our country.

Student Work ]More than 200,000 students from Methodist homes attend college some- where in the United States. It is highly desirable that the genius of leadership to be found in college men and women be utilized in helping to strengthen the world mission of the Christian religion. Through the general secretary of student work, eleven Branch student secretaries and their student center chairmen, the Society has maintained contacts with girls on about 165 campuses through such means as sister college projects, campus visitation by furloughing missionaries or other speakers, houseparties, seasonal teas and programs, and by participation in the interest of missions in student conferences. To many of the more than 7,000 students from other lands who are attending college in the United States, helpful attention is given when possible. Transition 23

Young People's Department The young woman's groups have responded to the challenge of the new organization by graduating themselves into the Woman's Societies when they averaged over 23 years of age. During the past three years 288 young woman's organizations with a total of 5,145 members have moved out of the young people's department into the adult department as complete groups, in preparation for the new day. During this year alone 116 organizations have been so promoted. One hundred and eighty-six new Standard Bearer Societies have been organized. There are now 2,630 organizations in the young people's department with 32,337 members. One of the most important parts of the work is the emphasis on leadership training. During this year one in eight of the membership attended summer camp or took a training course. The year's giving of the girls is $63,818, making a total since the Standard Bearers were organized in 1901 of $4,015,309.44. The program materials and the "Plan Book" were prepared for the new joint societies by representatives of all the merging groups, and many societies are studying both home and foreign fields for the first time. With the final completion of the plans for youth work in the new church, the special drive in organizing the girls will go forward.

Junior Department

The children have had a good time on their ship "Far Round the World." They visited many missionaries and have learned from them how children live in other countries. The Junior Friend conducted an Umbrella Trip to different countries each month and the children kept logs of the trip. Sixty-seven logs were sent in to be judged. Seven were chosen, and gifts sent to these children. Six hundred and fifty-nine life memberships were received and two memorial memberships. A feature that has attracted the children was the Thank-Offering for Chinese refugee children. An attractive Chinese pocket book and a letter from Madam Chiang Kai Shek were distributed and $8,907 was received—an increase of $1,933. The total money given was $38,146, an increase of $1,506 over last year. The bands completing posters numbered 502. Three of the requirements were one life membership, every member receiving the Junior Missionary Friend, and a gift or box sent to a missionary or institution.

Publications

The Publication Office has continued quite normally through the year although facing the fact that our magazines would be merged into the magazines of the new Society and that the office and the Branch depots of supplies would be discontinued as soon as the plan for handling literature within the new Society was determined. The subscribers to the Friend and Junior Friend continued loyally to send in subscriptions so that our merging lists numbered about 55,000 for the Friend and 32,000 for the Junior Friend. By arrangement with the Woman's Home Missionary Society extended credit was given, as far as possible, on duplicate subscriptions to Woman's Home Missions, while unexpired subscriptions were carried over to the lists of the new magazines. Program material for seniors, young people and juniors were prepared 24 Transition

jointly by representatives of the merging groups. The demand for this material in the new organizations has proven its acceptability. The office published two titles worthy of note. Mrs. Isham completed the seventy years history of the W. F. M. S. by writing a Supplement to "Val- orous Ventures." Mrs. Sheets contributed a valuable document in the Gazetteer of the work of the Society. The adjustments necessary to the merging of the publication business have been made with as little disruption of interest on the part of the con- stituency as possible, the hope being that new names and new addresses will be accepted naturally without loss of orders of any kind. The editors not only finished the work on their respective magazines in such a fine way that the general comment was, "never better," but they gave very helpful assistance in launching the periodicals into which their magazines merged.

Citizenship Committee

Working together, the citizenship committees of the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society and the Woman's Home Missionary Society prepared and sent to every auxiliary of the two Societies two letters, six months apart, which carried suggestions for study, programs and action on the five interests of the committees. Together also they prepared a text on Christian World Citizenship for use in the summer schools. This was published and distributed with a packet of literature by the Board of Education. The World Citizenship Committee allocated five scholarships to summer schools, four of which were to international relations institutes and one to the special six weeks course on Christian Social Relations at Scarritt College, Nashville. Two scholarships were financed by the World Peace Commission for the fourth year, and three were paid for by proceeds from the sale of peace stamps of which over 60,000 were sold by one of the members of the committee. The activities of the committee in contributed articles to the May issue of the Friend and a monthly column, the choice of the Society's quota of delegates for the Cause and Cure for War Conference at Washington, the representative at the National Peace Conference at Philadelphia, and correspond- ence with P)ranch presidents and distribution of literature, were carried on as usual.

Federation of Methodist Women

From 1929 until 1939, the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society, through its Committee on International Department worked for the organization of a World Federation of Methodist women. This was achieved at the Seventieth Anniversary of the Society. At that time delegates from 28 countries signed the constitution. Agnes Nilsen of Norway, enroute to India, signed for her country. Shortly after Miss Nilsen reached India, Scandinavia became involved in war and was unable to forward her support. Five other Scandinavian missionaries were stranded by the same conditions. Miss Johanson, Secretary of the Scandinavian Unit, (which had presented the Woman's Foreign Mission- ary Society with two missionary homes shortly before) appealed for temporary help. At the mid-year meeting, the Society responded by resuming support of those missionaries of Scandinavia who had prior to 1929 been supported by the Societv. !

Transition 25

When Finland fell victim to the aggressor, our women in Sweden at once planned to care for Finnish war orphans, and assigned nurse-deaconesses to this task. Finding their resources inadequate, they sought the cooperation of the American Unit. Through Federation officers, this need was presented to friends of Scandinavia in this country, and some seven hundred dollars came in for this purpose. It would seem that this agency has come into being under the guiding hand of God at a time when the world's childhood has been dispossessed of its fundamental rights, and when in every country there is need of giving material aid and spiritual leadership to this generation which some day will carry the world's responsibilities. When conditions permit, the units of this organization, now existing in thirty-one countries, should be able to cooperate in ministries which will make them indeed worthy to be called "repairers of the breach, restorer of paths to dwell in."

IN LANDS AFAR

Negro Africa

One of the most encouraging of fields is Negro Africa.

Angola Quessua has been blessed with a "real old fashioned revival." By 6 :30 in the mornings the church was full. A thousand people gathered two, three or four times daily, for an entire week. At least half of them came forward and took their stand for Christ. It was the first time that everything in connection with the services had been in the hands of the natives, and the missionary writing about it describes it as the most wonderful revival she has ever witnessed. Plans are under way for the building of a new hospital, after eight years of planning. The site is chosen, plans drawn up, and stones being hauled for the foundation. The building is to contain eight rooms, one of them a chapel.

Rhodesia

"The Spirit fell like as at Pentecost" at the Camp Meeting at Rhodesia. The three large boarding schools in this conference have from 120 to 150 in each, with scores turned away each year; this, as contrasted with the starting of the first school, where it took four years to get the one girl as a student Co-education in the classroom has produced the best results. Gardening is the main industrial line for the girls. "Education for life" is exemplified in the instance of a teacher in an out-lying station who has to move with his people to the Alazoe River banks for the last weeks of the school term in order that women and children may "pan for gold" in the river. This discov- ery of gold and the improvement in farming methods taught at mission centers, have made the former annual time of hunger a thing now of the past, and have reduced poverty in the area. Missionary societies have been formed in various instances by the native I>eople. A new one has as its plan to finance and carry on missionary work for the people of Mt. Darwin, the district beyond the Pfungwe. The woman's organization of the young Church in Rhodesia is made up of Christian mothers in Christian homes, many of them trained in our three schools. 26 Transition

Southeast Africa

The leper camp is a source of inspiration to those who visit it, "for with all their sufferings and their isolation from the rest of the world, they are a very happy group." When Bishop and Mrs. Springer made their recent visit at Conference time, a canopy of palm leaves and flowers was provided for the missionary group to sit under, and songs of welcome, composed by the lepers themselves, were sung, hailing the Bishop as "the grandfather of us believers." A class of eleven nurses has been graduated this year, some of whom could scarcely write when they began their nurse training three years ago. Now "they have filled many note-books with notes and diagrams, they have stored in their heads many facts concerning anatomy and medicine, their hands have been trained to put on bandages, to pull teeth, to deliver babies, and countless other things. Their minds and hearts have been trained, too, in the things of God." Eight new girls have arrived to take up the work the graduates have just completed.

Looking Forward

At the Swarthmore Conference, the Africa Committee adopted a series of recommendations touching the position of Africa in the present world situation. These urged the maintaining of missionary stafif levels ; a mobilization of Christian resources in Africa for creating peace for that continent ; a vigorous planning for a new united Christian strategy in Africa. An immediate challenge before united Methodism on the continent of Africa, is a girls school in the Congo.

Burma

Probably any missionary in Burma would say that the biggest event in that field in 1940 was the coming of reinforcements in stafif. Two new women arriving on the same boat, young, well trained, available for a variety of tasks, will give all of Methodist Burma a thrill. The exceeding thinness of the staff the past year has made necessary tlie adjustments everybody has learned to dread,—the assuming of tasks for which one is not well prepared, the devoting of one's energy to routine rather than to something creative. Of course the evangelistic work has suffered, the smaller institutions have had to defer to the larger, and everybody has been overburdened. When shall we learn that a depleted staff is our worst extrava- gance ! Burma rejoices in the beginning of better days. Not that these days have been altogether bad. The schools which were adversely affected by the strikes and riots of last year have recovered and are going at full strength. The rural boarding schools continue to lay the founda- tions of character and practice on which Christian homes will be built. Our hill school, Kingswood at Kalaw, is spilling out over the edges and ought to have additions to the day school building and to the boys hostel. Whether any building will be undertaken during the war remains to be seen. At the last word from the field, the new day school building for the Burmese Girls High School in Rangoon was still being delayed. War conditions everything. An interesting development in the evangelistic work is a special study of the Telugu people, being made by a missionary of ours in Hyderabad State, with a view to the possibility of the movement to Christ among the Telugus of India carrying over to the friends in Burma. Transition 27

China

China continues to be a country where the Christian forces show unprece- dented courage and initiative and persistence. Three schools in Kiangsi Con- ference have evacuated to West China—Rulison Girls High School, William Nast Academy and Baldwin School. From Rulison, Miss Schleman writes, "We have settled down to fairly smooth routine. Next week we have our first examinations." Miss Thompson in William Nast Academy tells of a group of high school graduates who are learning telegraphy in the Bureau of Communications and who asked for an English Bible class. She says, "I had thirteen a week ago, twenty-one last Sunday. Perfect strangers, something of an undertaking and not enough Bibles to go around." Baldwin School is housed in ancestral halls made of mud walls and earthen floors. This is the third school "home" since the war started three years ago and they were obliged to leave their beautiful buildings and garden in Nanchang. The school group is now composed of about one hundred high school students and teachers. Books are scarce and some classes have no books. For two years there has been no church the girls could attend and the teachers have carried on Bible classes, Sunday school, worship services, weekly prayer meetings and regular morning chapel services. What shall be the function and fate of our mission schools in this mael- strom? They are under-staffed and under-supported. They believe that they have something valuable to contribute, a task to perform, a message to give. Those who are on the field believe this strongly enough to remain there. Does the Church at home believe it strongly enough to support the work adequately? There is industrial relief work going on in Knowles Bible Training School and some of the mass education and health work. Danforth Memorial Hospital is ministering to the refugees and undertaking relief industry. Knitting machines for making stockings, weaving machines to make ordinary cloth, a tailoring shop, a carpenter shop, a barber shop, all are being used to teach trades. The Industrial Cooperative Movement is doing fine work. It seems that during these years of war, more progress is being made along many lines than in the preceding \rears. Prices are very high and continually rising. Ordinary cotton cloth now costs sixty cents per foot. Malaria is prevalent and a five grain quinine tablet costs between thirty and forty cents local money. Death from starvation, suicide and diseases from malnutrition are too common. In Nanking, Central China Conference, Wesley Church, which was burned during Japanese occupation, is being reclaimed. Under the super- vision of the church, two primary schools with an enrollment of over 4O0. two-year high school courses with 76 boys and girls, one kindergarten with 55 children enrolled and one mass education school of 127 have been conducted. Three flourishing Junior Leagues meet each week. Through the eye clinic, pass an average of one hundred fifty each day. From the industrial department conducted by the church, garments, gloves and shoes have been sold amounting to $2,406. Due to this, three of the church properties on the district which were gutted by war have been repaired. In these places fifty-one women have come into the church on probation while one hundred forty-two have joined Wesley Church. In Wuhu, where the church was too ruined to use and the school was smoke-blackened, a fine plant has been developed with capacity congregations, a school running over with children, a hospital clinic often serving more than 28 Transition

200 daily and Bible classes and literacy classes for adults and children. The hospital with its 150 l>eds has been taxed to the limit and the out-patients increased 290 percent. This has been due largely to the abnormal conditions which vastly augmented the amount of sickness. Many have been turned away for want of workers, medicine and beds. The distress, uncertainty and bewilderment caused by the present terrible situation have caused people to realize their need for spiritual comfort and assurance and they have come seeking help. To meet this need the hospital evangelistic department is in constant action, carrying to all the Christian message. In Foochow Conference the biggest item of school news is the new Fed- erated Girls School in Mintsing, a federation of three institutions. The plan was worked out by the conference committee on education to help solve a shortage of stafY and effect a considerable financial saving. The blockade is becoming more and more absolute. This is one way in which war is being waged on this province. Rice is five times as much as a year ago, and much of the time very difficult to get. Emergency grants have to be given to our Chinese teachers and servants for food. In Hinghwa Conference the strain of living under war-time conditions has caused a request from the reference committee that the six-year term of service on the field for missionaries be shortened to five years. In Yenping the Emma Fuller Middle School has reached its highest en-

rollment, 93 girls ; and the only way to provide accommodations was to install double decker beds. In the six primary schools, half of which are headed by Hwa Nan graduates, some 1400 children are under daily instruction. Under a new government regulation a department for adult education has been added where young- women attend special classes each afternoon and men come in after working- hours, eagerly studying until 10 P.M. As the record of the past year in West China is reviewed we fined midst all adversities the same unswerving purpose, determined spirit and undaunted devotion within the Christian fold. Destruction has been w-idesprcad in Chungking, that citadel of rock, and the city lies almost in ruins caused by continued bombing and fire. The Chungking High School, at Dsen Jia Ngai, moved 40 miles out from Chungking after the terrible bombing in May 1939. The principal and the dean are both Hwa Nan graduates. One missionary has been with them the past year. One hundred and seventy out of 300 girls moved to Pishon to occupy one of our higher primary schools built for 50 pupils. Though so terribly overcrowded, the school has been commended highly for its efficiency by the Provincial Board of Education. A large cave, dug out of a solid rock hill nearby has been shelter when this year's air raids began in April. It meant rising very early in order to complete the morning's work before the warning signal came any time between 9:30 and noon. Often the second meal of the day could not be prepared until late in the afternoon. Spirits were never daunted though the strain was great. During vacation the first bomb was dropped in the compound and some damage done to property. In recreational hours these girls work among the poor in the market place, engage in mass education, have night school for the servants and through different means provide aid for stricken soldiers. The Chengtu High School carried through the past year 325 girls. They, too, were in crowded quarters. In the government examinations during the summer, 95% of the seniors passed in all subjects and 907o of the juniors. One senior student took honors with the best grades in all the high schools in ;

Transition 29

Szechuan Province and there are many. In the church these girls conduct the Sunday school and make up the choir. The Dean of the Theological College in Chengtu has given some of his time and that of the students in the college to the student church program in this school. At Easter, 41 were baptized and 8 the following week. Each of the 11 classes had girls in the voluntary

Bible classes ; four classes had 100% attendance throughout the courses. Twenty-five were to help in daily vacation Bible schools this summer. The new dormitories at the woman's college made possible by the gift of Mrs. Conroy are in the process of construction. The poverty, the disturbances, the famine reported in North China are true. But missionaries are unanimous in saying, "This is a wonderful time to be working in North China. Hearts are open as we have never seen them before." One worker says, "I have had almost 600 girls in curriculum religious education classes. They say that we are the only school in all of China

which has this. We teach Character Building ; How We Got Our Bible

Going to Palestine to Study Jesus ; Philosophy of Life, and Jesus and Art. From these classes 60 hand picked girls have come into the Kingdom and have been baptized." One hundred young people attended the Epworth League Institute at Changli in August. There are nine new women's missionary societies in the conference this year and one new young women's society. The total membership of the 26 societies is 861 —double that of last year. All schools have greatly increased attendance. Gamewell School in Peking has almost doubled the pre-war enrollment. Keen School, in spite of flood and military barriers in Tientsin, is back to pre-1937 days. Alderman School in Changli has the largest enrollment in its history, due to two new courses. Six new primary schools have been opened in the district about Peking. Public health service in the Conference has grown to have a highly trained public health missionary nurse, a missionary doctor, twelve Chinese nurses who have had training and experience, four who have had special courses in mid-wifery and four who are getting first experience. Public health nurses from Sleeper Davis Hospital have flown like shuttles from hospital to needy refugees, weaving out of medicine and food, bandages and love a fabric of cheer and hope to blanket homeless hearts. For ten years, Isabella Fisher Hospital at Tientsin has asked for an X-ray machine. One has just arrived from the United States and is now in use for many emergency patients. A Christian Book Room has come into being in Peking, as a distributing center for Christian literature in Chinese. There are children's reading books, hand-work pattern books, biography, philosophy, Bible pictures, hygiene charts, music—all with a Christian content, some for use in church classes. They have been selling over $1,000 worth a month. Is it any wonder they say, "It is a joy to be a part of the work of the Church here today"?

India The death of Bishop Chitambar has deprived us of a great leader. He gave his life not counting it dear unto himself. In Bengal Conference, where the Christian program ministers to four different language groups, Bengali, Hindustani, Santali and English, there are several new projects. A primary school for Santali-speaking children and a new nursery school increase the efifectiveness of the program at Ushagram 30 Transition

in Asansol District. Here and also in Asansol City there is another important development, an interdenominational project to organize charity under the direction of the Methodist district superintendent. On Pakur District an outstanding achievement is the success of the adult literacy campaign cooperating with other missions through the Santal Christian Council. A missionary recently arrived on furlough from India reports that the resignation of the Congress ministries following the declaration of war has slowed up the realization of the new schemes of education in most sections, and is giving the mission schools time to adjust themselves to the new regime. During such time of readjustment, all our schools should hecome more in- tensely Christian in outlook and influence while at the same time they find ways to fit into the government plans and curricula. That is a tremendous undertaking, but it is being tackled with ingenuity and determination under the leading of the very Spirit of God. The first necessity is the re-training of teachers. Provincial governments are planning this on a large scale, but only a very few Christian teachers can be admitted to government training schools. As fast as possible, therefore, the new ideas are being incorporated in our own normal training schools. In Central Provinces, the Training Institute for Women, Hawa Gagh, Jubbul- pore (college grade) has already gone far toward adopting the new plans, and every student is learning to spin. In the vernacular normal school in Khandwa, the new Indian principal had extended study at Wardha, the government training center, before taking over her new duties. In the United Provinces (North and Northwest India), where government has established in every administrative circle a center in which 1,200 teachers can be given a modicum of the new training each year, our training schools in Almora, Moradabad, Budaun and Muttra are finding ways to put in the new ideas. The schemes are not being swallowed whole, but they are being deeply studied and adapted and Christianized. Meanwhile the primary and middle schools themselves are coming into line. Some of the new ideas had already been part of the life of our schools. Handicrafts had long been practiced in many places, and Puntamba, Talegaon, Nagpur, Shahjahanpur, Bijnor and Arrah, Hissar and others are already so near to being basic schools that no revolution is called for. Co-education, also an element in the new scheme, had been coming into a large number of our schools, class by class, for some time before the new schemes were announced, and will soon extend through middle school in these places. Everywhere in India, Christian schools must be surpassingly alert educationally or expect to pass out. At the same time, the teaching of religion in life must be greatly strengthened. The very emphasis on training the hand may help in this matter, for helping a child do a good honest piece of spinning or weaving gives the teacher manifold opportunities in character training. At any rate, from all parts of the country are coming reports of re-awakening, of new consecration, of young people voluntarily assuming responsibility for religious tasks. In this connection, the union of the Epworth League and the Christian Endeavor and the numerous young people's institutes held under the new auspices are undoubtedly important. It is hoped that the department of religious education established this year in Leonard Theological College with the cooperation of the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society and open to men and women, may help to furnish leaders for such movements as this. Lai Bagh, our oldest and largest high school, has already overfilled the Christ Church property occupied last year as a primary school. The seven- Transition 31

tieth anniversary of this, our pioneer institution, was beautifully celebrated April 18. The customary modes of evangelism are being enriched by numerous interesting experiments, particularly in the use of camps and melas. The training camp for village leaders is becoming a well established institution, in which district superintendent and woman evangelist, Bible women and pastors cooperate, the whole being definitely a part of the work of the church. Here small groups of Christian village head men and their wives receive practical instruction in the meaning of Christ's way and in what it ought to do to the whole life of the village. The mela, a typically Indian combination of country fair and religious observance, has given opportunity to reach great masses of people with the message of Jesus Christ and village uplift. A small village in Central Provinces reports 9,000 people in attendance at the big day of such a mela, and such an interest on the part of the Indian official of the district that he had the school torn down and rebuilt in order to make it a fit demonstration center for the occasion. These melas have been widely used in the literacy movement which is sweeping India. Classes for all ages, exhibitions of materials, contests with prizes,-—the variety of methods is immense, but the end is always the same, a Bible-reading church, a literate community. In the medical work, a highly significant event is the outgoing of the Perrills, both doctors, to Bareilly,—the beginning, we hope, of a definite strengthening all along the line. Dr. Kipp has returned to work under the North India Public Health Committee. At least two nurses are needed to take advantage of the great opportunity that work oflfers. Madar Union Sanatorium has had a good year, and is urgently asking for a doctor and a nurse. The outstanding event in the Gujarat Conference this year has been the dedication of the McCabe Memorial Unit of the Normal and Practising School in Godhra. Money is available for a second unit to be known as the Fisher Memorial in honor of Mrs. A. N. Fisher, who during her twenty-four years as Corresponding Secretary of Columbia River Branch, had much to do with the beginnings of the work in Gujarat Conference. The history of this school dates from the great Gujarat famine in 1898- 1900, which was one of the worst famines India ever had. Hindustani and weaving have been added by the Government to the required subjects, animal husbandry, home economics and nature study. This is in addition to the usual curriculum. The student body has representatives from the various groups in India and thus its influence is extended. Its graduates are much in demand and are working in many places. One is a missionary to Africa. Hyderabad Conference celebrated the "Seventieth Anniversary" in several stations. In Tandur District, 155 women came from villages as far away as nine miles, walking, to attend an all day meeting in Bidar. In Hyderabad a tea was held followed by a pageant in the church based on the seven point star. There were seven pointed Indian lamps carried by seven women who lighted them from a large, brass seven pointed Indian lamp and placed them at the seven points of the star. Their light illuminated the center where was a picture of Christ, with his lantern, knocking at the closed door. There followed a brief history of the Society. In Vikarabad, thirty women were present for a tea on the lawn of the Mary A. Knotts School. The Indian men were asked to make a contribution 32 Transit ion

as a Thank-Offering for what the Society had done for them. The pageant, "Seven Lights," was given. South India also celebrated the—"Seventieth Anniversary." One of our district missionaries tells this story, "In a village I visited three years ago the people pleaded for a school. They said, 'Twenty years ago someone came and told us about your Saviour. We too wanted to become Christians and we were baptized. Then you left us with no one to help us in our quest for the great Teacher, so we had to remain Hindus.' After satisfying myself that they were really in earnest, I gave them a teacher. Only last week I had the privilege of seeing the last person in the village take baptism. How happy they all were !" The hospital at Kolar has a new class of student nurses and they have a better foundation, educationally, than any class yet entering. The graduates have such a good reputation that there have been as many as nine openings and no one to send. There has been definite spiritual development within the

group and they are loyal to their motto, which is : "By love serve one another." Japan

The first annual meeting of the Japan Mission Council of The Methodist Church, which is the uniting organization of the three Methodist liodies, was held in Kobe in January. One missionary wrote, "Our first united conference seemed a real step in the advance of the Kingdom of Love. It was thrill- ing to get acquainted with the personnel and work of the other churches." Dr. Y. Abe, President of Aoyama Gakuin since 1933, is the Bishop of The Methodist Church, elected last October at the General Conference. This has been an outstanding year for the ]\Iethodists of Japan, both missionaries and Japanese. Two of our largest schools have celebrated impor-

tant anniversaries : Kwassui its 60th and Aoyama its 65th. The celebration of the anniversary of Aoyama's founding and the dedication of the new Pratt Memorial Chapel was a most happy occasion. The crowning event was the decoration of Miss Sprowles by the Emperor. She received the Sixth Order of the Rising Sun, the highest honor given a woman. It was richly deserved because she has been Aoyama's Principal for 26 years and has made it one of the finest girls schools in the Empire. Nine hundred and sixty-two alumnae were present out of a total attendance of 3,000. There seems to be a great interest in religion these days. The hearts of men are hungry for peace and understanding. The Nagasaki Protestant Cliurches united for a week-end of evangelistic services and invited Dr. Arakawa, the President of the Imperial University, to address them. On Saturday afternoon he spoke to 150 teachers invited from all the schools of the city. That night he had an audience of 500 in a public hall and on Sunday the church was crowded to the doors for a union service. The World Day of Prayer for Women was observed in Kagoshima where all the Christian women of the city were invited to the meeting. A world map luing on the wall helped them to look beyond their own country to the 40 countries using the international program. There is a scarcity of many articles of food and clothing and this aft'ects life everywhere, in the home and in the school. Fuel of every kind is hard to get and paper is very scarce. One missionary writes, "We are learning how to do without, how to use without waste and how to save every available piece. As to food, everything is very expensive. Some things such as sugar, are rationed." Transition 33

She continues, "There are many things about which I should like to write and about which you are eager to hear. In these days it is for us to live bravely, with hope and faith. The girls are asking questions, the teachers are asking for books. We would serve in so far as we are able and the opportunities are innumerable along many lines." Korea

In the May number of the "Korea Mission Field" there is an article entitled, "A Public Health Airplane Trip from North to South in Korea, Conducted by Methodist Women Missionaries." In Pyengyang are baby

clinics, kindergartens, Bible classes and a milk station ; in Haiju a mothers'

club. Public health and child welfare work in Seoul ; and in Chemulpo a women's dispensary, medical dispensary and baby clinic. In Wonju is another center and in Kongju the infant welfare center which includes the well baby clinic, milk station, midwifery in homes, day and night nursery and training of baby nurses. At Taiden is the infant welfare center which is an outgrowth of Kongju and has the same types of work. All these centers are busy and working to capacity. Reports of evangelistic work throughout Korea tell of greater attendance at church and Bible classes, more earnest study and a sincere desire to know the way of salvation and to help the coming in of the Kingdom. There are missionary societies in more than half of the sixty churches on the Haiju District and they report local activities as well as dues paid. The district conference of the East Manchuria District has organized a "Men's Missionary Society" which is the first of its kind in the East, doubtless. They employ two preachers to visit the numberless villages where the people have not yet heard the story of Jesus and to organize groups if possible. Our schools cooperate with the present system of national education. Primary and high schools have held competitive examinations in scholarship and this year physical ability was stressed, furnishing an added challenge to prospective students. Primary school attendance is gradually increasing. Ewha High School had almost 800 applicants for first year entrance this year and could accept onlj' 150. There is rarely ever any interference with chapel services and religious instruction. At Haiju, one man gave Yen 30,000 (about $7,000) to help support our boj's school and a little later another man gave the same amount for our girls school. Rice land was purchased and placed in the Korean Methodist Zaidan, the income being used for the schools. Parents and Patrons Associations help greatly in every school. The Pyengyang Union Christian Hospital is going steadily forward, both in its spiritual and physical healing. Last year 2,108 in-patients were given an average of two weeks care each and 92,000 patients were treated in the dispensary, an increase of 12,000 over the previous year. This is a day of uncertainty and of tension in Korea. What the future will hold we do not know. What we do know is that prayer is the greatest means of help to the loyal national Christians in their time of perplexity and trial. Malaya

In seven private and seven grant-in-aid schools, over 5,000 girls of many races are learning the Christian way while receiving kindergarten, elementary, secondary and continuation education. Under the evangelistic program of the Society, women and youth are reached through training classes for women, daily vacation Bible schools, institutes, and mass education classes, through 34 Transition

welfare work including orphanages, hostels, homes, day nurseries, and social service centers. Every missionary is assigned to a church. At the end of fifty-three years of missionary effort "a choice group of national women have advanced through our training to places of leadership in the community in education, in the church, in Y.W.C.A., in public health service and in the establishment of Christian homes."

The Philippine Islands How can the work of eleven women missionaries be told in a few lines? By training young women and children, healing the sick, enriching the lives of women they liave affected the growth of the church in the Philippines. In that church of 90,000 are homemakers, pastors' wives, deaconesses, teachers in Sunday schools, leaders in vacation Bible schools, youth institutes, nurses ministering through the Church, Red Cross, and public health agencies—all these the fruits of our schools and hospitals. In 1939, sixteen graduates of Harris Memorial and thirteen graduates of Townsend went out to aid the growth of the Church. In thirty-three years of service, 16,505 babies have been born in Mary Johnston Hospital—last year, 705 new babies, 32,669 dispensary treatments, 24,600 bottles of milk prepared, 1,024 home visits, 412 lectures on hygiene, 1,917 in-patients. A field clinic in Tuguegarao renders a unique service and needs a public health nurse to work out from the clinic into the surrounding territory. Who can write the saga of the districts? Eighty-five per cent of the island is rural and to minister to the spiritual needs and training of the women of the barrios means traveling long distances under great difficulties, by car, by truck, on horseljack, and on foot, through fields and woods and over streams and floods, but our missionaries go gladly in His name. Of great value is the influence of dormitories established as Christian homes for the girls from the provinces who come in to attend central schools. Increasing emphasis is placed upon development of literature in the vernacular and the contribution of our missionary in this creative effort is significant.

Sucli is the accomplishment of eleven ! Sumatra In spite of wars and rumors of wars, from Sumatra comes encouraging news of Christian missions proceeding normally. Paragraphs of reports are headed "New Chinese Kindergarten," "New Batak Sunday School," "New Chinese Mothers' Club," "Palembang Leagues," "New Life in Tebing- Tinggi," (because fourteen Chinese of one family are received into the church) and "A Little League of Nations"—the boys school. Graduates of our girls school serve—one as a supervisor of all Malay schools in Perak, as teachers in government and mission schools there, as a deaconess aiding church programs in Malay, Batak and English congregations in Medan, as teachers in Chinese schools throughout Northern Sumatra, and most significant, as eight teachers on our staff. In Batak towns and jungles Christ is made known to eager men, women, and children by the patient, loving service of Methodist missionaries.

Bulgaria

The Lovetch School celebrated its sixtieth birthday this year having been founded in 1880 by Mr. Challis who began work very humbly in a small rented building with only a very few Protestant boys and girls as his pupils. Now the school has nine buildings, an enrollment of two hundred and twenty- Transition 35

five girls and is known and loved all over Bulgaria. Miss Turner, the present principal writes that they have had a very good year in spite of being under great strain due to the war. The school Y. W. C. A. has been especially active and the girls have greatly enjoyed the hobby groups, inter-class socials, lectures, vesper services, a Christmas bazaar, and the special chapel services which have been under its auspices.

North Africa

The small band of American, British and Scandinavian missionaries who represent The Methodist Church in Algeria, have carried on valiantly during this very difficult war year. Three of our force of ten missionaries who ex- pected to return to North Africa this fall from furlough were unable to obtain passports. Miss Wolfe sent the children at Les Aiglons back into the interior at the outbreak of the war for fear there might be hostilities in Algeria itself. All came back to Algiers in September and are going to the French school as usual. Miss Wolfe writes that certain foods such as fats and sugar are very scarce but that so far they have had plenty of vegetables and fruits, as Algeria produces three and sometimes four crops a year. An institute for young people was held at Les Aiglons in September with an attendance of forty. The program of Bible study, evangelism and recrea- tion was very popular and most helpful. Several decisions for life service were made and there were some real conversions. With this fine group of young people as a nucleus, our missionaries feel that the future of our work in Algeria is assured. The student hostel was filled to capacity all year. All the work in Constantine has gone on without interruption. There have been many opportunities to bring spiritual comfort to the many women whose husbands, sons and brothers had to go to the war. The girls classes have been full to capacity and some had to be turned away. jMiss Ostrom had had over one hundred children in her classes at Sidi Mabrouk, a suburb of Constantine, with more asking to come. Due to her visiting, she has gained the confidence of her neighbors to such an extent that they have been coming to her for first aid and for help in their personal problems. Mexico Miss Warner and her Mexican co-worker. Miss Chagoyan have been very happv this year over a larger enrollment than usual in the Bible training school—^twenty-six young women, eighteen of whom have lived in the school dormitory. Some of these young women had not completed their primary work, so they are taking that in addition to their Bible training. This group will probably never qualify for the advanced courses given in the school but they will get sufficient training to enable them to do excellent volunteer work in the churches from which they come. Other students in the school have had good preparation and show great promise. Two of the young women who were graduated from the school last year have been appointed to a small village in the tropics, and their support is being carried by the Mexican Federation of Women's Societies. The four hostels supported by our Society are continuing to meet a need for many Mexican girls, especially for those who live in small villages where there is no school above the third or fourth grade. The fathers of the girls feel perfectly safe in bringing them to our hostels where they will have proper chaperonage, good schools to attend, and a Christian atmosphere in which to live. Our Pachuca Hostel, and in fact all our work in Mexico, has been greatlv bereft this vear in the verv sudden death of Miss Grace Hollister 36 Transition who had been a missionary of the Cincinnati Branch in Mexico for ahnost 35 years. For the past four years she had been at the head of the Pachuca Hostel. South America At the request of the Committee on Cooperation in Latin America, Dr. John R. Mott has spent much of the past year travehng in Latin America and holding conferences in several strategic centers. Having made a careful study of conditions and talked with many Evangelicals, he now says that he looks upon Latin America as the greatest opportunity the Protestant Church has faced in generations. There is a deep spiritual hunger unsatisfied by the Catholic Church and the doors are open to those who will preach and teach the message of the Cross. As we become a part of the Woman's Division, we are proud to hand over four outstanding educational institutions which through many years have been making vital contributions to the cultural and religious life of Peru, Uruguay and Argentina. Three of these schools—Lima High School in Lima, Crandon Institute in Montevideo, and Colegio Norte Americano in Rosario —are crowded to capacity, showing the eagerness of youth for Christian training. In these schools nearly 1200 girls are studying every year under Christian influences. Ours has been pioneer work in the education of girls. When the history of the evangelical movement in Latin America is written, it will show that the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society established the first home economics department in South America, as well as the first com- mercial course to train secretaries. In international friendship we have taken the lead, being the first mission schools to send exchange students to this country and to invite North American students to South America. We own two of the outstanding school buildings on the continent. Crandon has been the first school to add a Liceo Course, leading to entrance to the University. The name of Miss Carrie Jay Carnahan, who gave so many years of her life as official correspondent for our work in South America, will, happily, be carried over into the new day. Our goal for the Carrie Jay Carnahan Memorial Fund was reached by the raising of $30,000 during the year. This Fund has been achieved by numerous small gifts of friends around the world who loved Miss Carnahan. The building soon to be erected on our property in Buenos Aires, which will house the united Theological Seminary and our Training School for Christian Workers, is to be her memorial, the fulfillment of her own vision. Already in fifteen years many eager, well-prepared Protestant girls have gone out from the Training School to take places of importance in the leadership of the church. We are all the more thankful to have a part in this united institution since Dr. Mott emphasizes the training of leaders as the outstanding need in Latin American Protestantism today.

W. F. M. S. COLLEGES Hiva Nan College, Yenping, China. Hwa Nan completed another academic year on their temporary campus at Yenping with nine graduates from the college and twenty-four from the high school department. There are not enough graduates to fill all the requests which come for teachers. There are 87 students now in Hwa Nan. Parents have settled down into the war status and are sending their girls despite difficulties. The college is very crowded. President Wang shares her room with two other faculty members and has no place for private conference nor for quiet. The students live twelve in a room. The biology laboratory is a porch, the physics laboratory a living-dining room shared with home economics, chemistry has an old Transition 37 out-worn private electric light plant and a tiny new temporary structure, music uses an old ancestral hall which it vacates twice a year to the family clan for its worship. War prices have made the getting of rice difficult. However, regular scholastic work has gone on and regular and extra curriculum activities. Students and faculty are loyal to the daily eight o'clock religious service and voluntary Bible study classes are well attended. Kwassui College, Nagasaki, Japan. Kwassui feels that they "made history" with the installation at Commencement time of Mr. Keizo Okabe as the fourth president Kwassui has had in 61 years. The first was Miss Elizabeth Russell who founded the school, and she was succeeded by Miss Marianna Young. Then came Miss Anna Laura White whose resignation last fall brought great sorrow to Japanese and missionaries alike. Mr. Okabe, who had been Dean of the college for many years and acting Principal in Miss White's absence, is a true Christian gentleman and is respected by the Depart- ment of Education in Tokyo and held in high esteem in local church and educational circles. There are 500 students on the campus who range from junior high school through junior college. There is a great body of loyal alumnae throughout the world from Brazil to Harbin.

UNION COLLEGES Woman's College, West China Union University, Chcngtu, China. Due to the war this University is acting as host to four other universities. Despite th€ over-crowding on the campus, college work goes on, perhaps with greater devotion because of untoward conditions. Commencement in June was un- usual because of almost daily air raid alarms. There was a joint ceremony at eight o'clock in the morning, all five universities uniting and graduates of all these institutions receiving their diplomas. The new wing of the dormitory, so greatly needed because of the influx of students from the East, is half-way up. The University opened at the regular time this fall. The Woman's College is rejoicing in the addition of Leatrice Hwang, a native of Hawaii and a graduate of Yenching University to the staff as teacher of English and director of student activities. She is a vital Christian. The Union Theological College in which are enrolled 21 women, has a new building. It was to be the men's dormitory but for the time being is used as the women's dormitory (second floor) and as class room and administration building. The new students equal in numl^er the total enrollment last year. In the student body fourteen provinces are represented. Ezvha College, Seoul, Korea. Ewha College opened the present school year with the largest enrollment in history, 437. In addition to the literary, music, and home economics departments, the kindergarten training school has become a regular department of the College with a three year course, and a one year home makers course has been added. Mrs. Henry Pfeiffer gave an additional $25,000 to the endowment fund, making $125,000 in all, and Philadelphia gave from a bequest for Korea a sum sufficient to cancel the remaining debt on the buildings. The Ewha Committee has taken action granting- permission to form a Zaidan Hojin, a holding company, feeling it insv:res the largest degree of security for the College and all its interests that is possible. Dr. Helen Kim, the President, in a recent letter refers to the situation there in terms of a stormy sea through which they are battling. She says, 38 Transition

"1 want us not to get submerged under the current, but to ride on if, and accomplish God's will for our College." li'o)ncii's Christian College, Madras, India. The College sustained a great loss in the death of Miss Edith M. Coon, vice-principal, and professor of physics. A memorial tablet will be placed in the hostel bearing a tribute to this "Beloved Teacher, Able Administrator, and Loyal Friend." Thirty- seven students have been attending lectures in the St. John's Ambulance Association Course in First Aid, with a like number registered for the Course in Home Nursing. The College is cooperating whole-heartedly in efforts to remove illiteracy. Some of the outstanding work in other parts of India has been directed by graduates of the College. St. Cliristoplier's Training College, Madras, India. This past year Miss Alice B. Van Doren, who was in America on furlough, was of great help to the American Section of the Governing Board through speaking in behalf of the College, securing donors and sharing information with the official group. The treasurer reports that nearly $20,000 has been received toward the goal of $80,000, which is America's share for a building fund. Medical College for Women, Vcllore, India. The American Section of the Governing Board suggested that under present circumstances attendant upon the international situation, the Government allow a continuance of the L.M.P. (Licentiate Degree) Course for a further period of five years. The reply is in the negative. Therefore, a committee has determined the absolute minimum re(|uirements to inaugurate the M.B., B.S. (Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery) College in 1941 and is working toward that end. This means greater capital outlay, enlarged staff, various buildings and increased hospital expenditure. Cinling College. Chengtn, China. Showing a 30 percent increase over last fall's enrollment Ginling College began its fourth refugee year with 199 students. Although travel is becoming more and more difficult with routes and means of transportation becoming fewer, determined students overcome obstacles at real sacrifice to pursue their education. In Chengtu, under the presidency of Dr. Wu Yi-fang, Ginling continues its regular academic course in cooperation with the other institutions sharing West China Union LTniversity's campus. In addition, the girls maintain a social service project in Jenshow, a near-by village. In Shanghai, ten new students registered for the Physical Education unit of the Associated China Colleges (East), supervised by Mrs. Chen Hwang Li-ming of the Ginling faculty. On the Nanking campus, under the direction of Mrs. Lawrence Thurston, a homecraft course for women, a five-year middle school, and three schools for small children are in operation. Yenehing College for Wonicn. Peiping. China. For many years Yenching has dreamed of having a major department for physical education. This dream has materialized and is starting with the current academic year. It is for both men and women and from now on, the men's and women's divisions will work as one. The complete curriculum for four years will lead to the degree of B.A. Cheeloo Vniiersity, Tsinan, Shantiuig. China, School of Medicine. One doctor from Cheeloo University says, "We never have had such heavy medical work at Tsinan as this year. For several months we found it necessary to limit registrations for daily clinics. Even with this limitation, our clinic attendance for several months exceeded anything we have had in past years." The year of pre-nursing school, an experiment last year, was a real success. Transition 39

"Everyone speaks of the poise the new students have on the wards, and have had from the very first day." Isabella Tlwbiirn College, Lucknoiv, India. This is the first year of the presidency of Dr. Chandrama Prem Nath Dass, and it has Ijeen a successful year in every way. The enrollment, slightly larger than last year, shows Christians 114, Hindus 76, Muslims 43 and 3 others. The College continues to represent in miniature the whole of India, the census showing students from 14 provinces with eleven mother tongues and six religious faiths, and all are living happily together without divisions of race or creed. Scholastically the college stood first in the Province. The girls are continuing to teach very faithfully the servants on the compound. Groups of girls go out to teach women and children to read and write and to give simple lessons in hygiene and tell Bible stories. And during their summer vacation scores of the girls in their home towns and villages taught illiterates to read. Woman's Christian College of Japan, Tokyo. 1940 has been an important year for the Woman's Christian College of Japan. (1) Dr. Yasui, long its able and honored president, put into effect the retirement she has felt necessary for health reasons, and was succeeded by Dr. Ishihara, a Christian gentleman, formerly a member of the faculty of one of the Imperial Universities Mrs. Hirano, daughter of a well-known Presbyterian pastor in Tokyo, was chosen dean to the satisfaction of all interested in the College. (2) An Everett Orgatron, first to be shipped from America to Japan, was enthusi- astically received for the Chapel Auditorium. (3) The Women's Missionary Society of the United Lutheran Church in America became a cooperating board and a substantial contributor to the College budget. (4) Miss Alberta B.

SUMMARY

Our 20 hospitals, 14 dispensaries and welfare centers have a total staff of 901. Of this number only 63 are missionary doctors and nurses. Last year 275,936 patient days were spent in the hospitals. There were 4,723 ob- stetrical cases and 556,333 out-patient and dispensary treatments. In China one of our hospitals, the Ida Kahn Memorial Hospital, has been destroyed, perhaps beyond repair, as a result of the war, while another has been seriouslv damaged. Many of our schools, too, in China, have suffered from the war, several being destroyed and pupils being scattered. Other countries, too, have felt the evil effects—but still the work goes on. The Society has 1,044 schools of all grades which are training 69,986 pupils. Of the 3,608 teachers only 311 are missionaries, 3,327 are nationals. In the 17 countries in which the Society works, we have a total stafif in all departments of 4,704 of whom 473 are missionaries in active service. Twenty-one new missionaries went out this year, a larger number than for many years. Under what we term evangelistic work 158,956 were enrolled in classes in religious education, short term institutes, daily vacation Bible schools and other training classes. Eleven thousand, seven hundred and ninety-one women and girls were baptized this year, besides 9,127 infants. And so the reporting of statistics could go on, but figures give us only 40 Transition a general idea of all the work being done. Only when we think that back of every figure stands a person, do we realize the magnitude of the Christian ministry performed by the members and workers of the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society. And so because of the extent and the character of the work done, and the accomplishments of the past, we turn to the new day and the new road with confidence.

"The future I may face, now I have proved the past." Eloise Andrews Woolever, Recording Secretary.

We suggest that each Branch contribute its percentage of this sum from exchange gains in China. That because there are hundreds of the poorest and most needy children who are unable to attend our schools, and are not being served by any phase of our Christian unit, we approve the request of our missionary group in Tient- sin, that the>- be permitted to open a Social Service Center for community service, on W'oman's Foreign Missionary Society's property to the east of the school, and the hospital compounds. We regret that the Society is unable at this time to give either personnel or financial help. rhat the general treasurer pa\' from an accumulated fund especially donated for the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society emergency fund in China, $93.00 to complete the payment for X-Ray at the Isabella Fisher Hospi- tal, Tientsin.

That the amount of the Lacy Fund designated for the Foochow Kinder- garten be put at the disposal of the beneficiary in its entirety to be used as desired.

Africa

That we recognize with regret our inability to relieve the critical situation of financial stringency in S. E.

No vote of the general officers taken ad interim shall be binding or legal unless the request for such vote shall have been sent out by the secretary of the General Executive Committee (or, in case of her disability, by the president) and until the vote itself shall have been declared by said secretary after examination of the votes returned; (d) to issue power of attorney to persons designated by the General Executive Committee; (e) to affix the corporate seal of the Society whenever the corporate seal is required or should be affixed to any document or instrument executed on behalf of the Society, unless this duty is performed by the secretary; (f) to execute release to executors and trustees through whom this Society may receive bequests and legacies, and make the required acknowledgment or affidavit and affix the corporate seal to said releases, and to perform such other acts as are required by the Act of Incorporation; (g) with the secretary to sign such papers as require the formal written assent of the Society authorizing appearances in Court to represent the Society or its interests, and to make the required acknowledgment or affidavit to such papers and affix the corporate seal thereto.

VIII Retirement Fund and Pensions

1. There shall be no legal obligation on the part of the Society to pay retirement allowance except to such missionaries as have been designated through its General Executive Committee on recommendation of its Foreign Department, and only for the period and for the amount designated by the said General Executive Committee.

2. Except as provided under (4) and (5), no missionary shall be eligible to retirement allowance who (a) was retired prior to January 1, 1900; (b) is, at the time of retirement, less than sixty-five years of age; (c) has served less than twenty-five years on the foreign field including furloughs to a maximum total of sixty months. 116 By-Lo7i's

3. The maximum retirement allowance for missionaries in the service of the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society October 1, 1926, who were born in 1878 or earlier shall be $570 a year. Nothing in this section shall be construed as changing or increasing the allowance of any missionary on the retired list October 1, 1926. For missionaries born in 1879 or later the maximum allowance shall be $480 a year. Regular missionaries of the Society who are indigenous to the field in which they work and who were in service January 1, 1918, shall receive, if placed on the list of missionaries eligible to allowance, retirement allowance on the same basis as American and European missionaries, except in cases where they have been receiving a salary smaller than that paid to American and European missionaries. In such cases their allowance shall bear to $570 (if they were born in 1878 or earlier) or to $480 (if they were born in 1879 or later), the same ratio as the salary they have received when in active service bears to the salary of the American and Euro- pean missionaries in their respective conferences. 4. If a missionary at the time of necessary retirement has not reached the age of sixty-five years, or has not served twenty-five years, or has neither qualification, the General Executive Committee may, by a three-fourths vote, recommend to the Woman's Division of Christian Service an allowance according to the following scale:

(a) For missionaries born prior to Jan. 1, 1879: Age at Re- tirement Amount of Allowance After Service 25 yrs. 24 yrs. 23 yrs. 22 yrs. 21 yrs. 20 yrs. 55 $370.50 $355.30 $341.05 $325.85 $311.60 $296.40 56 386.75 371.45 355.30 340.10 324.90 309.70 57 400.90 384.75 368.60 352.45 336.30 321.10 58 417.05 399.95 383.80 366.70 350.55 333.45 59 437.00 419.90 401.85 384.75 366.70 349.60 60 456.00 437.95 419.90 400.90 382.85 364.80 61 472.15 453.15 434.15 415.15 396.15 378.10 62 494.00 474.05 454.10 435.10 415.15 395.20 63 518.70 497.80 476.90 456.00 436.05 415.15 64 545.30 523.45 501.60 480.70 458.85 437.00 65 570.00 551.50 524.40 501.60 478.80 456.00

(b) For missionaries born after Jan. 1, 1879: Age at Re- tirement Amount of Allowance after Service

25 yrs. 24 yrs. 23 yrs. 22 yrs. 21 yrs. 20 yrs. 55 $312 $300 $287 $275 $262 $250 56 326 313 300 287 274 261 57 338 324 311 297 284 270 58 351 337 323 309 295 281 59 368 353 339 324 309 295 60 384 369 353 338 323 307 61 398 382 366 350 334 319 62 416 399 383 366 349 333 63 437 420 402 385 367 350 64 460 442 423 405 386 368 65 480 461 442 422 403 384 By-Lazvs 117

When missionaries have not reached the age of fifty-five and have not served twenty years, the General Executive Committee in cooperation with the Woman's Division of Christian Service may recommend for each case, according to its merits, the allowance to be paid.

5. In exceptional cases where the necessities of the individual require a larger allowance than is provided for under (3) and (4) the General Executive Committee by a three-fourths vote is empowered to recommend to the Wom- an's Division of Christian Service such allowance for her as in the judgment of the Committee shall seem equitable.

6. (a) In case a missionary of the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society marries a missionary of the Board of Foreign Missions after a minimum service of ten years with the said Society, and, after marriage continues in the active service of the Board of Foreign Missions until she shall have attained the age of sixty-five years, and shall have served at least twenty-five years on the field, (including furloughs to a maximum total of sixty months) her retirement allowance as and when a widow, from the Society, shall be based on the years of service as a missionary of the Society, and shall bear such proportion to the allowance which would have been paid her had she continued in the service of the Society as her actual years of service with the Society' bear to twenty-five.*

(b) If a contract teacher having served with the Society, or if a member of the faculty of a union college under appointment by the union college committee or a missionary in the Lee Memorial Mission, Calcutta, becomes a missionary of the Society, her years of service as a contract teacher or as an appointee of the union college committee or as a missionary in the Lee Memorial Mission, Calcutta, shall be counted in calculating her retirement allowance.

7. No retirement allowances or special grants to retired missionaries shall be paid by Branches. 8. There shall be a Retirement Fund for care of retired missionaries consisting of gifts solicited for this purpose throughout the Society. Such gifts as are definitely designated for endowment shall be invested and reinvested by the treasurer of the Woman's Foreign Missionary vSociety under the instruction of the committee on investments, the principal being preserved intact and the income only being used to pay retirement allowances or to purchase pensions from insurance companies, approved by the committee on investments. Such gifts as are not definitely designated for endowment may be used for purchases of pensions from insurance companies, approved by the committee on investments, or for such other purposes involved in the retirement care of missionaries as by action of the General Executive Committee shall be authorized from time to time.

9. There shall be inaugurated on January 1, 1927, a plan of purchasing pensions from life insurance companies for missionaries sent out after October 1, 1926, and on January 1, 1929, for purchase of pensions for missionaries who are at that date in active service for the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society, who were born in 1879 or later years and who were sent out prior to October 1, 1926, such pensions not to exceed $480 a year and to be purchased in such amounts as shall be necessary to supplement the income from the Retirement Fund Endowment. The life insurance companies from which such pensions may be purchased shall be approved by the committee on investments. *It is understood that a former missionary of the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society who is the widow of a man who had been retired for disability before the regular age of retirement, shall be considered a special case, and the adjustment of an allowance for her shall be made by the Society and the Board under their respective rulings for special cases among retired missionaries. — —— —

118 By-Lazvs

10. Gifts for endowment, as distinguished from those for pension purchases, shall be added to the principal of the Retirement Fund and only the income from them used.

IX Committee on Investments

There shall be a committee on investments, to consist of the general officers, the general counselor, ex-ofi&cio, and co-opted members as need shall arise. The treasurer shall invest all trust, annuity and endowment funds of the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society under the direction of this committee. Any Branch which so desires may turn over its Branch trust, life income gift and endowment funds to the control of this committee on investments. At the death of the donor of the life income gift or at the termination of the trust, the principal remaining to the credit of the original trust or life income gift shall be paid to the treasurer of the Woman's Division of Christian Service for the use designated by the donor. Branches which prefer to retain control of their invested funds may do so, but shall submit to the committee on investments above created an annual statement of their invested funds and of the securities held therefor.

X Order of Business The following items of business shall be considered at the General Execu- tive Committee meeting: Calling the roll. Minutes. Appointment of committees. Reception of memorials, petitions and proposed changes in the constitution. Business. Election of president, vice-president, secretary, treasurer, and other officers.

LIFE INCOME GIFTS

Where it is practical, instead of making a bequest it is far better to con- vert property into cash and place the same in the treasury of the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society at once, on the life income gift plan. By so doing all possibility of litigation is avoided and a fair income is assured. The Woman's Foreign Missionary Society does not spend money so contributed while the giver lives, but invests it in good securities in this country and in annuity policies with Life Insurance Companies.
