FOURTEENTH ANNUAL REPORT. MADAGASCAR. R e p o r t o f t h e S u b-C o m m it t e e . As in former years we have again thankfully to record the kind care of our Heavenly Father ex­ tended to the missionaries of our Association in Imerina since the last Annual Meeting. Nothing has been permitted materially to interrupt the steady progress of their work. The country has been unusually free from political excitement; no fearful epidemic has prevailed as in 1878 and 1879 ; and though the health of some of the missionaries has occasionally been far from what we should desire, the general work of the Mission has not been seriously hindered on this account. H. E. Clark’s yearly report shows that the ener­ getic course he has pursued in superintending the country Schools has been attended with fair success. He has under his care more than half of the coun­ try work, and during the past year this has involved his being away from home 88 nights, and 46 days of riding in his palanquin. This affords a striking illustration of the uneconomical expenditure of time and exertion necessarily involved in working the parts of our district at a distance from the capital. But our missionaries regard this apparent loss of time as far more than counterbalanced by the im­ portance of this country work. And yet the 6 progress there is slow, hardly appreciable sometimes from one year to another, though on looking back for ten years, or even half that time the improve­ ment is very striking. The 118 village congrega­ tions and 90 schools under our care, with their native evangelists and teachers, however much we may deplore their imperfections, and the low standard, intellectual, moral, and spiritual, that prevails amongst them, are steadily working for the good of the 150,000 or more people who live in our district. The leaven of the Gospel is gradually permeating this population scattered over about 2,000 square miles, a better public opinion on moral and social questions is being formed and increases in power, and here and there signs of true spiritual life are manifested. As our missionaries all live in the capital, and are thus brought more continually into contact with the church and scholars who come under their influence, there the results are more apparent. Both our large schools continue to flourish, and the great regularity in the attendance of the pupils is very gratifying from every point of view. It is now more than eleven years since the erection of the present buildings— the Boys’ School at Ambohijatovo, the Girls’ at Faravohitra, about ten minutes’ walk apart. The last letters from Madagascar inform us that the alterations in the Boys’ premises are now all but completed, and promise well for future comfort and efficiency. W m . Johnson has taken some pains to ascertain the present condition of the boys and young men who have received their education in this school. He says :— “ The total number of scholars admitted since the beginning of the School has been over thirteen hundred, of whom probably as 7 many as twenty per cent, did not stay more than a few months. Of those who remained long enough to receive permanent benefit, it would be interesting to know in what way their talents are now being used; but to get very definite information on the subject is very difficult. Of those who have left us we have only been able to follow about one in four. The greater part have returned home and taken their place as ordinary members of the com­ munity, who obtain their living by trade, or have sufficient pro­ perty for their maintenance- They perform their allotted share of government service, either in a military or civil capacity, and we see little more of them, except that in our own district we often find them occupying places of usefulness in the church, where, doubtless, they might be found in other districts, for we gather from all parts of the country. Of those of whom we have more certain information, twelve left us to enter the London Missionary Society’s School for training teachers ; and thirty-two became students in their college for training ministers. Most of these are now teaching or doing evangelistic work. Sixteen youths became printers at one or other of the Mission Presses, or at that of the Government; thirteen studied medicine under one or other of the doctors ; nineteen became clerks in various Government offices ; but by far the larger number left to become teachers. Of these we have knowledge of eighty-seven. The majority of them are in our own district, many also in those of the London Missionary Society, and a very few in the Norwegian Missionary Society, and the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel. They do not con­ fine their efforts to school teaching, but many of them do the work of evangelists in their own villages and neighbourhood. They vary greatly in religious understanding, but what they know they speak, and testify that they have heard, and we hear of them in far distant and unexpected places, diffusing the light and knowledge of the Gospel where all else is dark and heathen.” Of the Girls’ School we hear of similar results:— “ Many of our old scholars reside in town, where we often see and hear of them. Several are here teaching in our schools, or in those connected with the different congregations. Others are teaching, in the country, of whom we often hear good reports. One of our earliest scholars is doing a good work among her fellow country women on the borders of the Sakalava territory, where, by diligent visiting from house to house, she keeps up a good attendance at her classes and at chapel. There are several of our old scholars at work in our district, some of whom we supply with materials for teaching sewing to the members of Bible classes which they have already formed. But of the greater number we have quite lost sight, especially in cases where their stay with us was only for a short time.” Important changes in the management of both these schools will take place this summer.

  • Patterns of Membership and Participation Among British Quakers, 1823 – 2012
    Patterns of Membership and Participation Among British Quakers, 1823 – 2012 JAMES WILLIAM CROAN CHADKIRK A thesis submitted to The University of Birmingham for the degree of MASTER OF PHILOSOPHY School of Theology, Philosophy and Religion Centre for Postgraduate Quaker Studies The University of Birmingham September 2014 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation. Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged. Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. Abstract During the 1850s there was rising concern in the Society of Friends about declining membership. From the 1840s attempts were made to obtain hard statistics on adherence and in the late 20th century another decline again reduced numbers to the level of the 1850s and 1860s. This thesis reviews and analyses data from the middle of the 19th century to 2012, illuminating variation in both membership and participation in church worship and governance. It presents new data on participation in meeting for worship and provides geographical and socio- metric data on the origins of enquiries about Quakerism, providing both a research tool for further work by bringing large volumes of information together and illuminating the ways in which the size and the social structure of the Society of Friends has varied with time.

The man she chose to lead her fledgling academic institution into an uncertain future was John Syclyng, who was duly awarded the office of Master of Christ’s College. More than 500 years on, and 37 Masters later, the position endures. The Fellowship has swelled from 12 humble Doctors of Divinity to over 100 academics of wide-ranging learning, and the student body has expanded from 47 poor scholars to several hundred undergraduates and postgraduates. Nevertheless, the community of Christ’s College to this day remains led by one man: the Master. Past Masters is a celebration of this most enduring of positions. From the intriguing process by which Masters assume office, to their varied roles as shepherd of the student flock, magisterial scholar of deep learning, and guardian of the College’s purse, liberties and interests, this exhibition offers an insight into the history of this most fascinating of roles, and of the inspirational men who have filled it.
