For three years (1942-1944) the Ameri­ can Baptist Foreign Mission Society and the Woman’s American Baptist Foreign Mission Society have presented a record of their work for each year in a combined re­ port under the title of Along Kingdom High­ ways. These joint reports symbolize the unity of the two Foreign Societies in their field work and in their home administration, which has grown with each passing year to the joy of all and the furtherance of the gospel. Accordingly, this year’s report is presented in the same way and under the same title.

TELLING THE STORY FUNDS FOR WORK ALONG KINGDOM HIGHWAYS MISSIONARY BEGINNINGS

In the early part of the nineteenth century, the 385,000 Baptists in America,* North and South, had little organization, were widely scattered and without facilities for easy communication among themselves. The formation of the English Baptist Missionary Society in 1792 and the efforts of the pioneer missionaries in India had, however, aroused a deep interest in this country, so that con­ siderable money was sent to their aid. The interest thus awakened and fostered was accentuated by the reading of letters from Dr. William Carey which appeared from time to time in the Massa­ chusetts Baptist Missionary Magazine. When, early in 1812, a company of five young men of another denomination was set apart for service in foreign lands, a deep impression was made upon Baptists. One of these young men, Adoniram Judson, after reading his New Testament with great thoroughness during his voyage to India, accepted the Baptist view of baptism and wrote a letter which was received in Boston, January 19, 1813, in which he said: “ Should there be formed a Baptist Society for the support of missions in these parts, I should be ready to consider myself their missionary.” This challenge profoundly stirred American Baptists, and they began at once to make plans to undertake the work. Luther Rice, another of the young men, having experienced a like change in belief, returned to America to plead the cause of missions among the Baptists. The direct result of his efforts was the organi­ zation at Philadelphia, May 21, 1814, of “ The General Convention of the Baptist Denomination in the United States for Foreign Missions, and other important- objects relating to the Redeemer’s Kingdom,” popularly known as the Triennial Convention. It is significant that the call to engage in foreign mission work was the first thing that led to organization and unity among Baptists in this country. In 1845 the Southern Baptists withdrew because of a difference of opinion growing out of the slavery ques­ tion, and in 1846 the name of the Society was changed to The American Baptist Missionary Union. The name was again altered

The headquarters was established at Boston, Mass., in 1826, and in 1920 were removed to New York "City. At the annual meeting in 1903, the Society became a co-operating society of the Northern Baptist Convention. For seventy-five years the Free-Will Baptists of the United States administered the work on the Bengal-Orissa field in India. In 1910 this notably co-operative and consecrated group turned this rich heritage over to the Foreign Mission Societies of North­ ern Baptists. The Woman’s American Baptist Foreign Mission Society was formed in 1914 by the consolidation of two societies which had been in existence since 1871: The Woman’s Baptist Foreign Mission Society, and the Woman’s Baptist Foreign Mission So­ ciety of the West, which had been organized for “the elevation and Christianization of women and children in foreign lands.” At the annual meeting in 1914, the new Society became a co­ operating agency of the Northern Baptist Convention.

Heralds of Christ

Heralds of Christ, who bear the King’s commands, Immortal tidings in your mortal hands, Pass on and carry swift the news ye bring: Make straight, make straight the highway of the King.

Through desert ways, dark fen, and deep morass, Through jungles, sluggish seas, and mountain pass, Build ye the road, and falter not, nor stay; Prepare across the earth the King’s highway.

Where once the crooked trail in darkness wound, Let marching feet and joyous song resound, Where burn the funeral pyres, and censers swing, Make straight, make straight the highway of the King.

Lord, give us faith and strength the road to build, To see the promise of the day fulfilled, When war shall be no more and strife shall cease Upon the highway of the Prince of Peace.

13 GOD’S PLOWSHARE

Every valley shall be exalted and every mountain and hill shall be made low. —Isaiah 40:4

TAPAN ESE soldiers have said that the Americans are not good jungle fighters because when the Americans come they do away with the jungle. With bulldozers and steam-shovels and other high-powered machinery they make a highway through the wilder­ ness. So shall be the coming of the Kingdom of our Lord. “ Every valley shall be exalted and every mountain and hill shall be made low.” Neither the miasmal swamps of wickedness and wretchedness nor the dizzy heights of pride and presumption can be a fit dwelling place for God’s people. Where then shall they dwell? On the high table-lands of righteousness and reverence, where love and godly fear characterize all that they do. During the tragic years of the war, the heavy ma­ chinery of God’s wrath and love have been leveling down and building up. His plowshare has gone deep in all lands. The good seed of the Kingdom has been sown ' in unexpected ways along the bypaths and hedgerows of the whole world. The American Baptist Foreign Mission Society and the Woman’s American Baptist Foreign Mission So­ ciety continue to be the servants of the divine will. The Societies have had a part in God’s sowing. Now they must gird themselves as never before for further sow­ ing and for reaping “ that harvest of righteousness which Jesus Christ produces to the glory and the praise of God.” 14 HIGHLIGHTS OF THE YEAR’S WORK

FIELD REPORTS War has affected all of our mission fields. From Japan, Burma, East China, South China, and the Philippine Islands, the mis­ sionaries have either been withdrawn to serve temporarily in other areas or at home, or have been restricted in their activities. In other fields, work has been made more difficult because of war conditions. Despite these circumstances the Christian enterprise has moved forward in the lands in which Northern Baptists have served. In the following reports from the fields, incidents and in­ terpretations set forth the more important aspects of the year’s work.

BURMA "Better Than W e Knew” With the progressive liberation of Burma, it is possible to begin to assess the way our work has stood the test of war. By January 1945, an area in the Burma hills where, before the war, Baptists had six mission stations, with 17,030 church members, 214 church buildings and chapels, and 109 other places of worship, had been liberated. Over 300,000 inhabitants of that region—more than 40,000 of them utterly destitute—were taken under the protection of the Allied forces. Burma missionaries have helped survey re-occupied territory, have trained troops for jungle living, served in the Medical Corps, acted as volunteer chaplains to Burma troops quartered in India, and promoted friendly contacts with Burma’s people.

Roberts Memorial Church, Bhamo. Special gifts received from American Servicemen at­ tending here are helping to rebuild this house of worship

Property losses have been" heavy. Most of Myitkyina is level with the ground. Thé Kutkai mission bungalow, Bible school, arid church were largely destroyed. A ll of the wooden buildings on the Kaçhin compound in Namkham were destroyed. Word from India indicates that the Harper Memorial Hospital has been partly restored and that the Nurses’ Home and Dr. Gordon Sea- grave’s home also need extensive repairs. The Roberts Memorial ALONG KINGDOM HIGHWAYS 17

Church, Bhamo, suffered damage estimated at $1,350 but is being used. Word comes of the faithful witness of Hting Bai Gam, Ebbyu, Dumsa La, and other Kachin preachers and their congregations. Pastor Zau Mai and one of the young men in the Kutkai Bible Training School were martyred. A non-commissioned Kachin army officer dodged when an attempt was made to bayonet him, lived to tell the story, and is now an ardent preacher. Amid priva­ tion, the people have remained steadfast. Kachin Christians in the army and in civilian government service have sent money to needy pastors. The women’s societies have carried on weekly meetings and have collected funds for the work. Laymen have witnessed effectively. In one place where there had been only two Christian families there are now ten. Sara Damau Naw and Ma Lu, though very old, have continued their work and have had some large meet­ ings. At one time even the highest Japanese officers and his staff attended. Chin Christians have sent an urgent appeal for hymn- books and Testaments. They have asked also for the establish­ ment of a school and for the early return of their missionaries. In Insein, lower Burma, Sunday meetings were reported, with Japanese Christians in attendance at the communion services. The Boards have dispatched an emergency fund of $1,500 to the Burma Mission Secretary to meet immediate calls. Missionary Gustaf A. Sword says: “ We built better than we knew. . . . The people have not only remained faithful, but they have carried the banner farther afield and gained a large number of new converts.” Military restrictions may delay for some time the return of women missionaries to Burma, but they can do much for Burma in the meantime elsewhere. The Burma Red Cross welcomed to its ranks Dr. Anna Barbara Grey, who had been serving tem­ porarily in the South India Mission. Miss Marion Beebe in Jubbulpore, North India, has been writing in Karen for women’s work and Sunday schools. In addition she helped organize a Burma Sewing Circle to provide clothing for Burma. Some of the garments were flown into recaptured areas of Burma where suffering from lack of clothing is almost as severe as suffering from lack of food. Miss Marian Reifsneider, also in Jubbulpore, is preparing literature in Burmese. 18 ALONG KINGDOM HIGHWAYS

In Sadiya, Assam, Miss Lucy P. Bonney has been translating Christian literature into Kachin. She and Miss Mary I. Laughlin cared for Kachin women refugees until the liberation of North Burma allowed the refugees to return. The missionaries then went

Hunt, former Dean of Women at Judson College, returned to India to serve temporarily as Honorary Dean of Women at Ewing Christian College, Alla­ habad, and to assist the treasurer of the Burma Mission. The well-known Dr. Ah Ma has been admitted to Burma, and again is relieving the sufferings of her people. The day is not far distant in which the missionaries may again take up the task of carrying forward the Kingdom enterprise in Burma. ALONG KINGDOM HIGHWAYS 19 20 ALONG KINGDOM HIGHWAYS

ASSAM .

“In Perilous Times'’ In the spring- of 1944, the Japanese penetrated Manipur and the Naga Hills. When hostilities ended, the Kangpokpi mission bungalows were badly damaged and 19 «¿¿lurches in the Manipur field had been destroyed (estimated re­ placement value $20,000). In the Kohima field, four or five churches, a mission bungalow, much office equipment, and all but 20 of the 900 houses in Kohima town were destroyed, and the second Kohima mission bungalow and a number of other mission buildings were seriously damaged. Thousands were homeless, starving, and in need of medical aid. Gifts by Assam Christians and the World Emergency Forward Fund made possible the dis­ tribution of more than $1,200 in relief. Clothing and blankets were donated; the Government provided food for about 100,000 people and tarpaulins as a temporary substitute for the 10,000 houses destroyed. With the help of local pastors and Dr. Curzon Momin of Jorhat Hospital, Missionary J. M. Forbes distributed medicine and clothing to the needy in the Kohima field. In Manipur Rev. E. E. Brock gave out seven and a half three-ton truck loads of clothing and blankets, and at Christmas time dropped two plane­ loads of blankets, cloth, and garments in a remote and needy area. Assam’s Christians stood up bravely in the face of privation and danger. Schoolboys served as guides and interpreters for Allied officers. Military authorities commended the magnificent stand of Indian troops— some of them Telugus— at Kohima. A Jorhat Bible School boy rescued an injured pilot who had baled out near his Japanese-occupied village. He and his father dressed the airman’s wounds, erected a hut- for him in the j ungle, at risk of life brought food to him daily, and, when he was well enough, led him to the British lines. Christian Nagas who insisted on accompanying Missionary E. E. Brock through dangerous territory paid for their courtesy with their lives when they were captured on the return journey. In these perilous times, the work has gone steadily forward. When Kangpokpi was opened twenty-five years ago there were fewer than 600 Christians in Manipur State; today there are at least 12,000. Baptisms in the Naga Hills District average 2,000 ALONG KINGDOM HIGHWAYS 21

a year. An edition of 2,000 Angami New Testaments with con­ cordance was published during the year, and the entire New Testament in Lothà Naga and in Sema Naga is now-available. Tura again held a two months’ Bible training school, «and four four-day Bible classes were held in the Gauhati- South Kamrup fieid. In Golaghat, the association and mission co-operate in em­ ploying 24 evangelistic workers. An association project among the Thadou ICukis has resulted in the establishment of seven

churches with a total of 46 Christian homes. More than 1,200 people gathered for the annual meeting of the Sibsagar Asso­ ciation. At Jorhat High School, all 15 boys took the matriculation exam­ ination and passed. Fourteen Bible School students spent their vacation visiting 80 villages; they preached 178 sermons, held six vacation schools, and reported 75 conversions or re-dedications. More patients were admitted to Jorhat Hospital in the last four months of 1944 than in any one year up to 1938-1939. Opera­ tions averaged 15 a week. Dr. E. S. Downs of Tura gave two months to Jorhat Hospital during Dr. O. W . Hasselblad’s absence, and made three tours, on foot, among the'villages of the Garo Hills. He reports that visiting in the homes and talking around the camp- 22 ALONG KINGDOM HIGHWAYS fireshelps the missionary to know the people and gives a wonder­ ful opportunity to spread the gospel. Assam is perhaps unique among Baptist missions for the number of its Christian periodicals. The Treasure Chest, an all-Indian publication, with a section in the Assamese language, is the maga­ zine for women and children \ Sunday School Quarterly, edited by Rev. Reuben Holm, with a subscription list of over 1,600, serves the Baptist community of the whole Assam Valley. A Mikir and a Garo paper are also published. The war has affected school attendance in several stations. Even so, scholastic standing in the Golaghat Girl’s High School has been maintained. All candidates for government examinations passed and two received scholarships. The sudden death of one o f the teachers, Miss Nirupoma James, a highly valuable college graduate and influential worker, made a profound impression on the school. Through this experience several reconsecrated their lives and seven girls asked for baptism. Miss Marion Tait had to return to America because of spinal injuries sustained in an auto accident. At Gauhati, school attendance has increased. The Garo people of the plains living in Gauhati are very poor but

could pay school fees in rice. Over a ton of very welcome rice came in. The American Baptist. Mission Hospital at Gauhati accommo­ dated a military medical unit sufficient to care for 75 patients. Ill nurses and women army personnel have been cared for. The White Memorial Hostel continued to be used as a hospital annex. Often military patients have numbered approximately twice as many as civilian. The hospital and the Reeder Memorial Home for children have rendered a significant service to orphans and homeless infants. Daily classes and prayers are held for the older ones. How to obtain milk has been a problem. Evangelism among servicemen and women in the villages has been carried on. Tracts, gospels, and other Christian literature have been distributed to Indian and English-speaking people. A hunger for the Word of God is evident in Sibsagar, Sadiya, and Golaghat. The women of the Jorhat church raised some $150 for their work. The return of Dr. O. W. Hasselblad, Almyra E. Eastlund, R.N., for the hospital in Jorhat, Miss Marion Burnham, Mission Treas­ urer, Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Suppléé, Rev. and Mrs. John Selander, Rev. and Mrs. B. I. Anderson, and Mrs. E. Sheldon Downs, R.N., and the arrival of three new missionaries, Rev. and Mrs. Herbert M. Randall, and Dr. Mary E. Kirby brought a wealth of encour­ agement to the field.

BENGAL-ORISSA

“Ye Fed Me” Ministry to famine victims by Bengal- Orissa missionaries continues. At the height of the famine many people sold their possessions to secure rice or millet for a few meals. Now they are without cattle, agricultural implements, seed, or even cooking utensils. Long continued undernourishment pre­ disposes to disease. Numbers are clad in rags. Miss Lillian M. Brueckmann writes of the poor folks who file in at the front gate— “pathetic specimens from a Hindu village, asking for cloth being distributed through relief funds. What a task to know how to give wisely!” The World Emergency Forward Fund, the Church Committee for Relief in Asia, the National Christian Council of 24 ALONG. KINGDOM HIGHWAYS

India, the Indian ¿Red Gross, and. the Friends’ Service Committee have provided food, clothing, medicine, and work relief for thou­ sands; The Bengal-Orissa Mission has the care of 79 destitute chil­ dren, and will need approximately $5,000 a year for the next two years to continue this Christ-like ministry. In the six months’ period aiding January 1945, Balasore distributed some $400 in village relief ; Hatigarh, $500; and Bhimpore, $700. Under the

Government Rev. W . C. Osgood supervised .the selling of 64 tons of rice at a special low price; aiid 25,000 tablets of vitamins, atabrin, and sulfa drugs were distributed. Thanks to the vitamins, all cases of night blindness in the Bhimpore orphanage disappeared. Christian friends in Calcutta made available: 1,360. garments for men and women, and the Bengal Christian Council supplied an additional 300 for children as a practical expression of Christian love. The relief program emphasizes problems of understaffing. Indi­ viduals have had to carry loads formerly borne by two or three. ALONG KINGDOM HIGHWAYS 25

Many have remained at their posits long beyond furlough time. The skyrocketing of living costs and wartime opportunities for more adequate salaries elsewhere have drawn from mission school staffs several of the best qualified Indian teachers. There is a limit to overwork. One missionary writes, “ Formerly I could work in the evenings; now I find it difficult— I should realize that God will mot expect more of me than I, with His help, have strength to do.” War-time travel difficulties complicate the «ending of reenforcements. Rev. August A. Berg, returning to Jhargram after furlough, had to travel 18,900 miles. When he arrived, he found prices so high that he wrote: “ It will cost more for me to live here alone than it did for six of us in 1940.” In the Hatigarh field, in something over six months, about 100 people were baptized. The leper colony how has 20 resident church members, of whom 13 were baptized during the year, Mr. Berg visited a village of the Jhargram field and “ was almost mobbed by non-Chris­ tian Santals” when he took out gospels, hymnbooks and other C hristian literature. They implored him to “ come again and bring enough books to go around.” Mrs. John A. Howard writes, “ I wish you could see the gratitude, the new hope, the lives saved by 0riy(1 christian M ers what has been done.” For her outstanding service in ministering, to famine victims and in training local air-raid wardens, she was awarded the Kaisar-i-Hind medal. When Miss Ruth Daniels came for furlough in March, 1944, all of the children of the orphanage at Midnapore were transferred to Bhimpore with Miss Naomi Knapp in charge. They are largely from Hindu families. Christian orphans are cared for at mission expense, but the Government finances the care of the non-Christian children^ and is high in its praise of the mission’s nurture. The work may become permanent. The children plant gardens, make 2 6 ALONG KINGDOM HIGHWAYS

nets and baskets, weave cloth, and do other work. They keep accounts, give tithes to the church, and learn to save. They be­ come a normal part of the life on the mission compound, are given vigilant health supervision, and are sent to the Bhimpore schools. The girls’ schools have achieved remarkable results in scholar­ ship and in the numbers baptized. The military continues to use the mission buildings at Midnapore. The Women’s Conference in October contributed generously for their special worker and envision work for women in the expanding industrial areas.

SOUTH INDIA “Blessings More than We Can Remember” “This is the time for a great awakening in India,” writes Rev. W. Drew Varney, “and we hope that our churches at home will redouble their efforts to send us reenforcements.” On the Ongole field alone, baptisms numbered 558; and in the Donakonda, Vinukonda, Gurzalla fields, 480—a better record than last year, and the highest in Donakonda since 1935. Because the mission has been understaffed and because of the demands of new duties for the missionaries, Telugu leaders have taken over an increasing number of positions, and some have pioneered in new areas of responsibility. When Rev. A. T. Fish­ man assumed the principalship of the School for Missionaries’ Children at Kodaikanal Rev. K. P. Jerome became evangelist for the Jangaon field. With the aid of ten others he supervises the work in 33 villages. In September 1944, he inaugurated a village youth rally attended by 70 village lads. Now, as lay volunteers, they are doing good work “which the preacher, teacher, or pastor could not accomplish heretofore.” Rev. K. E. Samuel as general evangelist among the young people of the Mission and Rev. B. R. Moses as evangelist for the Madira-Bezwada-Guntur area are doing effective work. At Hanumakonda, Dr. P. Jeevanandam, Dr. Evelyn Andrews, and Dr. A. Joseph have taken full charge of Victoria Memorial Hospital, thus releasing Dr. John S. Carman to become Acting Professor of Surgery at the All-India Christian Medical College, Vellore. The Christians in Ongole are interested in the work of the Field Association, and there has been a large increase in contributions. ALONG KINGDOM HIGHWAYS •27

“ The change of attitude is little short of revolutionary." Many churches are finally- accepting responsibility for the evangelization of their areas. Two years ago the churches in and near Madras formed an association and are now beginning to reap the fruitage ofr better fellowship and co-operation. Paid workers are in the field and several bands of volunteer workers have undertaken preaching tours. Travel is a major problem. Rev. Philip S. Curtis, with re­ sponsibility for three fields, writes that the five trains which used to run each way every day between Donakonda and Vinukonda have been reduced to one. No buses operate between these points. Gas for automobiles is scarce and expensive and the cars are in need of repair. The paper shortage reduces drastically the supply of Christian literature. One missionary reports, “Again and again I have had to refuse to sell Telugu Bibles, because the need was not sufficiently great! All our large Telugu hymnbooks are sold out, and we are unable to get more.” Food shortage and prohibitive prices have threatened the con­ tinued existence of more than one Christian boarding school. At Amereddi-gudem, when the supply of grain ran out and there

were no funds, the teachers closed the school for a few days, and they and the children harvested peanuts, earned about $140, pur­ chased supplies, and carried on. Bapatla Training School has had a most successful year. Of the 19 secondary grade students who appeared for the Government examination, 15 passed, considered a high percentage. The school now has the largest class in the secondary grade since this section was opened. The total enrollment in the training school is 170. Students show a keen interest in the religious activities and several have asked for baptism. Mission Secretary Thorleif Wathne writes: “ ‘ Praise the Lord, O my soul. . . With all our heart we wish to make this song of praise our own as we remember His goodness to us in the past year. He has forgiven all our sins. He has healed our diseases. He has renewed our strength. His blessings have been more than we can remember.” Mission hospitals in South India look longingly at the American Red Cross hospitals in India with their excellent equipment and adequate personnel. They themselves are compelled to carry on with insufficient supplies o f' rubber sheeting, hot water bottles, syringes, and some drugs. As many as 130 patients crowd into the wards of the Nellore Hospital for Women and Girls intended for 103. Out-patients also are numerous. The Clough Memorial Hospital in Ongole had a record-breaking year with over 3,500 in­ patients. The arrival of White Cross supplies prepared by the women in local Baptist churches in America, was heralded with deep thanksgiving. Sigrid C. Johnson, R.N., of Ongole writes, “Almost overnight, industries have arisen everywhere. The biggest change is the transformation of young women. We usually picture Miss India as demure and retiring, but now she is almost overwhelming in her smart, trig uniform.” In the elementary school at Narsaravupet, several classes had to be divided and an additional teacher engaged to care for the large enrollment. Older pupils go into outlying villages for evan­ gelistic work. The Christian Endeavor gave a church history pageant at the annual rally. A class of 23 were instructed for baptism. Gardens have been developed by individuals and by schools. Feeding 172 in the Girls’ Boarding School is no small ALONG KINGDOM HIGHWAYS 29

problem. Text-books are out of print. Notebooks are made by- sewing papers together under newspaper covers. One pencil is allowed each pupil every, two months. In the Nellore school as 250 Hindu, Mohammedan and Christian children sat on their mats to hear the ever-new Christmas story, a teacher asked, “What gift does Christ want from us today ?” A little Hindu girl responded, “ Our love.” The Bible is still the best seller and the demand far exceeds the supply. The Bible Training School at Nellore could

not receive all the applicants who came from 15 different stations in the Baptist mission and from neighboring missions. An organized effort was made in Nellore to put a Gospel or New Testament in every home. Seven women trained in the Bible Training School have extended the work to distant villages. They have made 260 trips, sold 2,000 books, and preached to over 5,000 adults. High caste Hindu, and Mohammedan women came to the mission bungalow to sing hymns and to listen to the gospel message and the testimonies of new caste converts. It is most encouraging to note that the living witness of the despised out- castes is no# commending the gospel to the caste people. The Christian Centers had a rewarding year in teaching steward- 30 ALONG KINGDOM HIGHWAYS

ship. The yearly offerings were larger than last year’s. Prices have been high and food scarce, but the war has brought more money to the villages because many people work with the military and the men in service send money home. The women in the Centers rejoiced that their gifts made possible the opening of a new Center. The Woman’s Convention held in October 1944, at Jangaon adopted such objectives as the following for its Silver Jubilee: the raising of about $850 with an additional $400 for a prayer room in the new dormitory of Preston Institute, and for Woman’s Convention work at Bezwada; an increase in each society’s mem­ bership by 25; the teaching of 25 adults to read; the addition of 25 new tithers, and of 25 new societies; a strong evangelistic pro­ gram, and a plan for better trained evangelistic workers. -

THE ARMY—IN A NEW LIGHT An India missionary writes, “We are glad if we have been able to help Allied servicemen in their loneliness, but we want to ac­ knowledge our debt to them. They have enriched our lives by their youthful enthusiasm and zest for living.” The boys’ choir of the Jorhat Christian Schools, Assam, has been led by Chaplain Wil­ liam Harvey of the British Army. Army friends have helped in the daily chapel services. At Christmas Missionary J. W. Cook' baptized an Indian schoolboy and an American soldier. Mission­ aries attended the Goalpara Association in an army jeep with an American corporal as chauffeur. Army boys responded with gifts of money and clothing for relief of the Mauipur-Naga Hills area. Army trucks and planes helped with the distribution. Three American soldiers spent an entire evening finding and attending a Garo Association; five went to a leaders’ conference. Chaplains have attended associations, Bible classes, and regular church services, conducted by the Christians of Assam. An American lieutenant risked life and limb to go by jeep to a Naga Hills Bible Conference, and another helped with music at the annual evangelistic campaign. Much of the interest comes in response to the missionaries’ friendliness. Missionary diaries read: “ Spent most of the morn­ ing with soldiers who called.” “ Three American flyers in for ALONG KINGDOM HIGHWAYS 31

lunch today.” Many take time in a heavy schedule to keep up correspondence with soldiers who have been transferred, and to write to relatives “ a word of cheer concerning loved ones.” Indian Christians in army service are not forgotten. Missionary A. F. Merrill in the Garo Hills sends general letters to the Garos in service believing that “ it will help many a lonely Garo lad over a difficult hill.” Mr. Wathne is one of a committee which sends a monthly letter to all the Telugu boys in" service from the South . India Mission. Indian Christians continue their witness in the army. Indian soldiers attend the Gauhati church. A battalion of the Bengal Civil Pioneer Force requested the Garo churches to arrange serv­ ices for them. Rev. Tamring Momin and Rev. Bodon Marak visited their camps, held services, and baptized 81. Encouraged by missionaries, Christians among the Burma troops at an India rest camp arranged to have three of their number, young men trained in the Insein Theological Seminary, lead them in Christian wor­ ship and fellowship. A missionary writes of the Telugus, “ With very few exceptions they have become much better Christians since joining the army. They all attend services and ask for Bibles and liymnbooks.” Said a Baptist chaplain from Oklahoma, “ I am going away with a message for my Baptist friends in Oklahoma such as I could never have had before this visit.”

EAST CHINA

With the exception of Miss Ruth Bugbee, who is interned in Shanghai, only four missionaries were in the East China field at the beginning of the year. These were Rev. and Mrs. J. P. Davies and Miss, Esther Salzman at Foochow, and Miss Ruth Mather at Shaowu. When it became evident that the Japanese were aiming to take control of the whole East China coast, Mr. and Mrs. Davies and Miss Salzman returned to America. Mr. and Mrs. Davies, after 38 years of faithful service in both West and East China, are retiring. Their rich experience is not being lost, however, as both are very active an deputation work. Miss Mather went to Chungking to assist Dr. E. H. Cressy in the office of the National Christian Council, but later, upon the urgent advice of the American Embassy, enplaned for India on her way home for furlough. Until passage is available she will work with the National Christian Council of India and visit Baptist mis­ sion fields. A radiogram received from Chengtu on April 18, 1945 reports that the Chekiang-Shanghai Baptist Convention program is being maintained. The Shaohing orphanage is still open and the church attendance is over 500. The Hangchow church is meeting in pri-

The hospi­ tals in Ningpo and Shaohing are carrying on under the control of the Chinese Christian staffs. These reports are reassuring. Strong bonds are being forged among Christian groups; the stronger churches are helping the weaker; and everywhere there is sacrificial giving. Christian women have rendered notable service in the emergency. Among them are Miss M. C. Ang and Miss Esther Sing. The contribution made by East China missionaries in West China should be noted. Professor and Mrs. Burl A. Slocum are on the staff of the University of Nanking, now at Chengtu. They are the only missionary representatives of any of the five co­ operating missions of that institution. Dr. E. H. Cressy has ren­ dered a notable service as one of the secretaries of the National Christian Council of China at Chungking. Mrs. Cressy, prior to her transfer to the Woodstock School, Mussooree, India, was active in women’s work in Chungking.

SOUTH CHINA The year 1944 was one of increasing anxiety for the missionaries in South China. The advance of the Japanese inland from Swatow imperiled those working in Kityang and stations beyond. Despite the increasing danger, all whose furloughs were not due remained at their posts until the Japanese army made their positions unten­ able. In December when the Japanese had reached a point within five miles of Kityang, the missionaries decided to evacuate. They went out by night just ahead of the advancing army. Through the courtesy of the United States Army, plane transportation was provided from Kanhsien to Kunming. Those returning to the United States were Rev. and Mrs. A. S. Adams, Dr. and Mrs. W. E. Braisted, Mrs. B. H. Luebeck and son Jack, and Miss Alice M. Giffin. Rev. Carl M. Capen, Dr. Clara C. Leach, and Miss Seater-Margaret Drever whose furloughs were not due remained in China. Mr. Capen went on to Chengtu and Dr. Leach and Miss Drever are temporarily serving in a mission hospital at Tali, Yunnan. Miss Louise Campbell was the only Protestant missionary re-

maining in South China. After a long journey, she had only recently reached her field when the decision was made to evacuate. Moreover, some of her Chinese co-workers were badly worn by the strain of War and greatly needed her help. The prayers of friends are with her in what may be a long period of isolation. Reports reaching New York before the evacuation indicated that in spite of war the churches were still able to carry On a remarkably vigorous program and conventions were being held. Ninety-seven were baptized on this field in 1943, reported in 1944. AH the churches have been placed on a self-supporting basis. Monies from America previously given as grants-in-aid are now used as an evangelistic fund with which several full-time evangel­ ists have been secured to give special attention to the weaker churches. The effect of the withdrawal of the missionary staff will be serious, but there is great confidence in the Chinese leaders who are direcing the work of the churches. > Just as this report was being compiled a cable arrived from West China with the information that Meihsien is still in Free China and that the Japanese after looting Kityang thoroughly have with­ drawn.

W EST CHINA

Two outstanding pieces of educational work are being done in West China. On the campus at Chengtu there are in addition to

Courtesy United China Relief Mission medical aid in a Chinese courtyard the West China Union Univérsity four guest institutions— Cheloo, Ginling, the Universities of Nanking and Yenching. In September 1944 the combined enrollment of these five universities was 3,039. With such a large student body, the classrooms, dormitories, and other facilities have been taxed to the utmost. In Chungking the University of Shanghai School of Commerce has gone steadily forward under the able leadership of Dr. Henry S. Lin, Acting President and Director. The faculty is composed of teachers, businessmen and government officials, most of whom were former professors with wide teaching experience. The pres­ 36 ALONG KINGDOM HIGHWAYS

ent enrollment is 468. Doctor Lin’s graphic description shows the popularity of the school:

Owing to the lack of sufficient classroom accommodations, we did not advertise in the vernacular papers for students and merely put up a small notice on the school board instead, hoping thus to cut down new student enrollment. However, even by doing so we feared there might still be a big rush of students, and in anticipation made preparations for it and requisitioned the help of six policemen to maintain order. When the date for registration arrived, the students came in such vast numbers that very soon the school was jammed with students all agog to be the first to register. Within six hours more than 1,400 students were counted. W e had to stop registration immediately as too many had already registered. Had we advertised in the local vernaculars, ten times more students could have been expected. Of the thousand odd students who registered, only 10% were passed at the examination and taken in. Such a condition as above is a strong testimony of the good reputation the University enjoys in the eyes of the community.

The school closed its third semester with a balance of Ccy. $89,301.62. The alumni campaign to raise one million dollars to be used only when the University returns to Shanghai was over­ subscribed and was expected to reach two millions by the end of 1944. The alumni then decided to increase the goal from one to ten million and extend the drive over a few years. The Committee on the Home, of the National Christian Coun­ cil, has a well organized work in Chengtu. Women meet to learn how to read and improve their homes. Many young people have become interested in Christ through fellowship in the mission­ aries’ homes. Approximately three hundred street children, from two to fourteen years of age, have been gathered into classes at Miss Minnie Argetsinger’s home. Through them older members of the families have been reached for Christ. Many Bible classes and daily vacation Bible schools have been held for all sorts of groups. The Ipin church keeps its lights burning and the community has readily adopted it as its center. The mission conducts various evening classes and fellowship groups there. A large number of baptisms have resulted from these varied contacts, from hospital and school relationships, and from direct evangelistic work. Men and women, young people and children, have learned about Christ, how to pray, and how to give.

American airmen are frequent guests in missionary homes. One pilot who had to land fifteen miles from Yaan, and who had no knowledge of the Chinese language, thought the hitherto-unknown American mission station was an outpost of heaven. The following missionaries have returned to the United States: Rev. and Mrs. J. C. Jensen, Rev. and Mrs. J. S. Kennard, Miss L. Jennie Crawford, Miss Sara B. Downer, Miss Astrid M. Peter­ son, and Miss Minnie M. Argetsinger. Dr. and Mrs. J. E. Lenox and children are in India awaiting transportation home. Dr. and Mrs. Charles E. Tompkins after forty-two years of continuous service in the Ipin Hospital arrived in America on December 20, 1944, for retirement.

JAPAN A journalist had opportunity in 1945 in Chungking, China, to in­ terview a twenty-eight-year-old Korean, formerly a student at the Japan Theological College in Tokyo, who was compelled to serve in the Japanese army but escaped in China into free territory. He reported that church membership in Japan according to some estimates, has fallen off two-thirds, and that attendance is as low as one-fifth of the 1941 standard. This is not so dark a picture as it might at first appear. Weak Christians are probably affected by the unpopularity of being a follower of a “foreign” religion, and true Christians are no doubt staying away from government-sponsored Christian gatherings as a protest against their lack of spirituality. Sunday is a workday, and even pastors must perform approved national service. Mis­ sionaries who know the real Japanese Christians believe that wor­ ship continues in their homes and that their faith is coming into richer fruitage under the testing. This same Korean student also reported that non-Catholic theo­ logical seminaries are closed and their students conscripted. Catholic agencies, connected with countries not at war with Japan, have a larger measure of freedom. Christian publications continue, but are censored. In Japan proper, the Bible has not been tam­ pered with nor has there been the persecution of the faith experi­ enced in Korea. The Japan Christian Church is opposing the new ALONG KINGDOM HIGHWAYS 39 sect set up by the State which makes Jesus another embodiment of the Shinto Amatersu Omikami, the national goddess. Two Northern Baptist missionaries are still in Japan: Mrs. Henry Topping, retired, and Mr. J. F. Gressitt. Missionaries formerly serving in Japan have found fruitful fields of service in the homeland. The following have been teaching Japanese- Americans in the relocation centers in the United States: Miss Elma Tharp, Miss Winifred Acock, and Miss Mary Jesse. Dr. Royal H. Fisher, Dr. John A. Foote, and Miss Alice Bixby have been engaged in the resettlement. of persons outside the center while the teachers above lived and worked in the centers. Miss Thomasine Allen has been teaching at Tule Lake Segregation Center under the War Relocation Authority. All have had oppor­ tunities to form friendships and to render a Christian ministry. The return of our missionaries to Japan depends on the length of the war and the nature of the peace.

THE PHILIPPINES

All Northern Baptist missionaries interned on Luzon were liberated by the American forces and some have already arrived in the United States. All suffered in prison or internment camps, or both, for almost three years. The last year was marked by dimin­ ishing food supplies and increasing hunger. Only one Red Cross kit per person had been received. Filipino, Chinese, and Spanish friends on the outside shared their meager ration at first, but during the last year the Japanese military allowed no fruit, vege­ tables or sugar to be brought in. Those who were freed in the several centers were the following: Santo Tomas: Rev. R. Fred Chambers, Mrs. Dorothy Kinney Chambers, M .D .; and children, Carol Joy and Robert Bruce Chambers; Miss Flora G. Ernst, R .N .; Miss Ruth L. Harris; Dr. Henry S. Waters; Mrs. Anna Martin Waters; and children, William Martin, George Henry and Mary Alice Waters; also Richard Alan Meyer; Donal Paul Rounds, sons of missionaries. Bilibid Prison: Rev. Paul A. Collyer; Mrs. Gladys Cook Collyer; and children, Paul Theodore and Peter David Collyer. Los Banos: Mrs. Olive Buchner Casanave; Rev. Henry W. Munger; Mrs. Laura Patrick Munger. Eleven of our missionaries on the Island of Panay were not in­ terned. The United States Government has informed relatives and the Mission Boards that these eleven and the son of one family died in the hands of the Japanese. The twelve listed were: The Misses Jennie C. Adams, Dorothy A. Dowell, and Signe A. Erick­ son, Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Covell, Rev. and Mrs. Erie F. Rounds and their little boy, Erie Douglas, Rev. and Mrs. F. H. Rose, Dr. and Mrs. Frederick W. Meyer. They gave a victorious witness to their Lord in death as in life. See pages 60-64 for fuller word. Detailed account is given in Through Shining Archway, a me­ morial tribute to these missionary martyrs, published by the Societies. Two letters, received in April, 1945, confirm fears regarding the property of the Philippine Mission. Rev. Engracio C. Alora, Secretary of the Convention of Philippine Baptist Churches, wrote as follows: “ Practically all our church buildings in the country districts have been razed to the ground. The Jaro church still ALONG KINGDOM HIGHWAYS 41

stands. However, our pastors even under these conditions have remained faithful to their witness, although some have resorted to some side-line for liveli­ hood. I have known of prac­ tically no one who has co­ operated with the Japanese authorities during the Japa­ nese occupation. Most of them lost their homes, some have even lost their loved ones, but they look forward with confi­ dent hope to the future. . . . The Student Center at La Paz was occupied by the enemy and they left it badly wrecked. . . . Central Philippine College was totally destroyed as also were all faculty houses and the C onvention Headquarters.” Dr. Lorenzo P. Porras, Direc- Mountain Road, Baguio, Philippines tor of the Iloilo Mission Hos­ pital wrote that the hospital buildings had been completely de­ stroyed except for the concrete framework. Emmanuel Hospital at Capiz, however, is intact hut all equipment is gone. Much planning is being done by the two Foreign Mission So­ cieties and the Philippine Committee of the Foreign Missions Conference for the reopening of work in the Philippines. It is hoped that Foreign Secretary E. A. Fridell, together with mis­ sionaries now on furlough and possibly one or two others, will be able to go to the Islands at a very early date.

BELGIAN CONGO

Although the Belgian Congo has not been in the direct path of war, the world catastrophe has influenced life even in the remotest villages. Rubber and palm nut quotas, the development of spin­ ning, mining, shipbuilding, the high prices, high wages, and the migration of workers to the city are, part of the picture. The trend toward industrialization has been accompanied by a breakdown of Builder of a Christian home in Congo ALONG KINGDOM HIGHWAYS 43

tribal mores, especially those affecting the family. Social unrest and a growing consciousness of the race problem are marked. Returning soldiers have had horizons extended and ideas modified. The overwhelming cry of the Congo Mission is for missionaries. There is not sufficient personnel to place one regularly appointed family at each of the eight stations. One missionary writes, “ For five years now we have tried to do the work normally maintained by two families.” The staff of doctors is reduced to two, only one of whom is on the field. The Woman’s Society staff, never large enough, now numbers twelve. The sending of one family and three single women within the past year has brought some relief, but many additional new workers must be sent. Work among women and girls must be greatly increased. The Congo women are becoming more conscious of their powers and of their impor­ tance to the Christian life of the community A conference called to discuss work with women and girls laid emphasis on training for marriage and the Christian home, on handicrafts, nutrition, and agriculture. In this program, the schools at Kimpese and Sona Bata for the wives of student pastors, teachers, and medical assist­ ants are eminently important, but the whole educational program for girls must be raised to a higher standard and broadened to reach their full needs. One of the most insistent needs confronting the conference was for more women missionaries for village itinerating, now more possible than ever because of new and im­ proved travel facilities. Direct evangelism, the nurture of young churches and their leaders, and training women for Christian home and family life made up the program of this itinerating ministry. Concerning evangelistic work Rev. and Mrs. H. D. Brown write :

We are encouraged by the group of faithful leaders who are seeking to develop the native church. They are true to their calling, and are endeavor­ ing to win men and women to Christ, to build up the body of believers in the faith, and to fulfill their ministry well.

Dr. and Mrs. G. W. Tuttle report:

A t the annual associational meeting in Kiyanga, 245 were baptized, and five restored to fellowship. In our whole Sona Bata field 906 were bap­ tized at this summer’s 12 associational gatherings, and 9,500 francs (approx­ imately $215) were given as a thank offering. Both these figures are 44 ALONG KINGDOM HIGHWAYS

larger than they have been for years. In the Sona Bata leper colony the enrollment increased from 57 to 78. It was a joyous privilege to witness the baptism of six.

Dr. and Mrs. Howard M. Freas give this glimpse of the work at Vanga:

In the hospital wards and dispensary you will see competent medical helpers, two of them graduates of our Sona Bata Medical School, carrying on .all the routine work of the hospital, and. above all, bearing the message of love in their words and deeds as they work or in the testimony they bear in the daily prayer services for the patients. In the classrooms you will see earnest teachers, , all trained in our schools. In many of the villages you will find a mission-trained preacher-teacher, who is often the only literate person in the group. . . . On that hill-top you will see a fully developed, native-built church center-—a church building, classrooms and dormitories for regional school, and dwellings for the teacher and for the pastor. These leaders are really Christian, exerting an untold influence on their backward neighbors. ... During 1944 Miss Ruth E. Dickey held six girls’ camps in different parts of the Vanga-field. More than a thousand girls were enrolled and many accepted Christ. Thousands of little children attend the village schools and many of the older ones become Christians.

Medical work at Banza Manteke included three months of visiting in the villages to examine 20,350 individuals for leprosy, sleeping sickness, yaws, tropical ulcers, tuberculosis and venereal diseases, and to give vaccinations. Five nurses, graduates from the Sona Bata Medical School, were in charge of the seven mission village dispensaries, and reported 989 in-patients and 12,612 out­ patients. All patients hear the gospel. A prenatal clinic has been started, and a maternity ward is greatly needed. Mboko, a noble Christian leper, is in charge of the 115 lepers at the colony. Miss Marguerite Eldredge was the only missionary at Tondo for over two months. During the Christmas service roll call, church members and their friends from some 200 villages marched to the platform to present money, clay pots, water jugs, eggs, pineapples, sugarcane, and cassava roots. Money gifts totaled nearly 3,000 francs (approximately $70). A large number were baptized, 600 were present for the communion service, and several couples were married. Sacks of salt were awarded to communities that in 1944 had erected and equipped new chapels. Each com­ munity which pledged to build during 1945 received twenty-five to forty spikes to secure the roof, beams, and rafters, the only non­ native item required. The station bookstore gave out roll-call books, chalk, and slate pencils to village school teachers. All the women at Kikongo responded to the World Day of Prayer. Workers went from house to house, giving the invitation in the different dialects. The increase in literacy was evident in the use of the printed programs with parts to be read responsively. Women of every group, including the plain uneducated village women, led in prayer, thanking God for the freedom to worship and for the right to participate in a service just for them. Two foreign secretaries, Mr. Dana M. Albaugh and Miss Hazel F. Shank, visited Belgian Congo in 1944. Miss Shank was the first secretary of the Woman’s Society to visit that field. Mr. Albaugh had been a missionary to Congo. Both were deeply im­ pressed with the growth of the church and the increasing number of Africans capable of assuming places of significant leadership. Five new missionaries arrived in Belgian Congo in 1944-1945: Dorothy M. Wiseman, R.N., Doris M. Wiseman, Rev. Phyllis L. Benner, and Rev. and Mrs. Chester J. Jump, Jr. 46 ALONG KINGDOM HIGHWAYS

EUROPE The lifting of restrictions on communications allowed some in­ formation to come directly from Baptist leaders in Europe. From Russia comes word of the union of Evangelical Christians and Baptists, two groups which hold substantially the same faith but which have hitherto maintained separate organizations. A message was sent from the Baptist World Alliance and the Northern and Southern Baptist Conventions to this new organization through the co-operation of Russian Government officials. During the year Northern Baptists co-operated with the Rus­ sian War Relief in sending household kits for Russian relief, with the thought that the gift of simple necessities and the accompanying expressions of friendship would build good will between the two peoples. From Baptists in the Baltic States have come stories of un­ believable hardships suffered as they have come under the control of first one army and then another. Imprisonment, starvation, death, loss of property, deportation, persecution—all have been the lot of Estonian Baptists. Approximately 20,000 Estonians have fled to Sweden. Baptist leaders among them write of many needs, including the urgent need for Bibles and other Christian literature. The American Baptist Foreign Mission Society forwarded relief funds, some of which were contributed by Estonian Baptists in the United States. Reports from. France are more encouraging, even though north­ ern France and Belgium have been in the area of widespread de­ struction. . In spite of suffering, lack of clothing, and shortage of food, one French leader writes:

The trials through which we have passed, the debacle of our unfortunate country, have made many people understand that the gospel is the source of true life, and have helped them realize that the way of the cross is the source of salvation. All of our Baptist churches have been able to keep going. Two new mission centers have been opened. We have six new students for the ministry. The spiritual life in all our churches has im­ proved. We pray that God may guide us in our troubles. We have placed ourselves in His hands, knowing there is no night that is not followed by a morning. Dr. Edwin A. Bell, special representative of the American Bap­ tist Foreign Mission Society for Europe, reached England and ALONG KINGDOM HIGHWAYS 47

hoped soon to be allowed to enter France. As the way opens he will go to other parts of Europe where Northern Baptists have given help through'the years. Plans to this end were definitely made.

IN THE LIGHT OF THE WAR’S DISCLOSURES Post-war Studies of the Foreign Mission Boards Post-war planning has been approached from several different angles. The Mt. Carroll Conference of Baptist missionaries in April 1944, brought together eighty-five missionaries and the Boards’ secretaries for a period of four days. The findings of this important conference have been circulated among missionaries and Board members and are proving valuable in the development of post-war mission policy. The Joint Post-War Committee of the American Baptist For­ eign Mission Society and the Woman’s American Baptist Foreign Mission Society has met regularly in connection with Board meet- 48 ALONG KINGDOM HIGHWAYS

ings throughout the year. All fields have received special study. Also certain phases of the evangelistic, the educational and the medical program, and the future of Judson College and the Uni­ versity of Shanghai have had detailed attention. The Post-War Committee has called representative missionaries into personal con­ ference and has corresponded with many others. The field reactions to preliminar studies have been used widely in formu- lating subsequent documents. The Boards realize that the task cannot be finished in this country. Therefore, all opin­ ions of missionaries and na­ tionals are carefully weighed. Consultations with field agen­ cies must be held before documents can be considered final. However, the plans for the promotion of a post-war fund call for some graphic material now. This is being prepared. The Boards are also co­ operating in the interdenomi­ national studies which are in progress. Under the auspices of the Committee on East Evangelist to the Baydkas, a tribe in­ Asia of the Foreign Missions cluded in post-war expansion in Congo Conference, post-war planning conferences were held across the country in the fall culminating in a final conference in New York. r The Philippine Committee has been giving study to the possi­ bility of sending a delegation to the Islands at an early date after liberation. It is hoped that Foreign Secretary E. A. Fridell may be a member. Dr. Emory Ross of the Africa Committee went to London for a conference with leaders of the Protestant Councils in Africa on post-war. needs in that continent. Dr. J. W . Decker of the International Missionary Council visited India and West Chana, studying needs in those areas. The Committee on World Literacy and Christian Literature of the Foreign Missions Confer- Chinese inscription reads: Bixhy Memorial Hospital 8™UP (staff and pupils) of Kityang, South China, May 1944 ence has charted a widely expanded post-war program in which the Boards will co-operate. The American Mission to Lepers, which has contributed to certain phases of the Boards’ medical program, has inaugurated a post-war fund for training specialists in the treatment of leprosy. The American Bible Society is study­ ing ways to meet the demand for the Scriptures in devastated areas. Dr. E. A. Bell, the Baptist representative for Europe, has been conferring with British and Continental church leaders in England regarding relief and other post-war needs.

China Conferences A conference on medical work in China was held in March 1945, under the auspices of the Foreign Missions Conference of North America. Representatives of the Chinese government joined in the discussion of plans looking toward closer co-operation among various mission institutions, and between mission institutions and the Chinese Health Administration. The co-operation of the Chris­ tian medical services will be welcomed in all phases of the govern­ ment post-war medical program, especially in the years immediately following the end of hostilities, in the staffing and effective running of hospitals, and in the training of personnel. It is the purpose of the Foreign Mission Societies to co-operate in so far as possible with these plans. 50 ALONG KINGDOM HIGHWAYS

Representatives of the four Christian colleges in East China— Hangchow College, Soochow University, St. John’s University, and the University of Shanghai—met in New York in March 1945. The effects of the war on the four institutions, and the rapidly expanding plans for government education of college and university grade were noted. The concrete accomplishments in co-operation during the period when the four universities were refugee institutions in Shanghai were carefully considered. No definite plans can be made without conference with the adminis­ trative bodies on the field, but the following action was taken looking toward closer working together in the future:

With a view to giving the controlling Boards in China fullest freedom in proposing a plan of co-operation, federation, or union of the four Christian colleges in the Shanghai area, it is suggested to the American boards con­ cerned that they explore the possibility of providing a central site for these institutions.

Conference of Baptist Mission Secretaries of North America At the third in a series of occasional conferences of representa­ tives of the mission boards of the Northern and Southern Baptist Conventions and Canadian Baptists, post-war plans and problems common to those represented were discussed. So valuable was this conference that plans were made for another meeting in the autumn.

Reorganization of Foreign Missions Conference The dominant note in the annual meeting of the Foreign Mis­ sions Conference in Toronto, January 5-8, 1945, was evangelism. •This emphasis reflected the renewed interest of all Canadian and American foreign mission boards in the church’s primary task of proclaiming to all men the gospel of Christ. A greater degree of interboard co-operation in this primary task was sought through the reorganization of the Foreign Missions Conference itself along two lines: a strengthening of the area and functional committees of the Conference, and a closer integration of all committees with one another and with secretariat responsible for the central serv­ ices. These emphases are important for the successful carrying out of post-war plans. ALONG KINGDOM HIGHWAYS 51

Vick, Miss Evelyn B. Solomon, Miss Evelyn Wallace, R.N. It is confidently expected that several of this list will sail for their respective fields of service within the very near future.

Missionary Sailings Since the war started in Europe in September 1939, one hun­ dred seventy-one missionaries have sailed to the fields. These figures include both returning missionaries and new appointees.

From May 1, 1944, to April 30, 1945, nine new missionaries have left the- United States for their respective fields of service. They are: Mary E. Kirby, M.D., for Assam; Rev. Phyllis L. Benner, Dorothy M. Wiseman, R.N., Miss' Doris M. Wiseman, Rev. and Mrs. C. J. Jump, Jr., for Belgian Congo; Mrs. H. C. Jackson for South India (to join her husband) ; Rev. and Mrs. H. M. Randall for Assam. Several women from occupied fields whose furloughs have expired are willing to serve temporarily in other fields. Two from China are waiting passage for India to relieve women needing furlough. One from East China and one from Burma, who have a working knowledge of French, already have passports to travel to the Belgian Congo to serve temporarily in that field. Plans for others to sail in the near future are already under way.

Missionaries Assisting at Headquarters The war has brought many new problems to the headquarters staff. There have been some compensations. Not the least of them is the fellowship with members of the missionary staff who have been giving temporary service at headquarters. Because they are here, there is a better understanding of field problems and a renewed appreciation of the spirit and ability which characterizes the work abroad. They are meeting a great need at this time when the labor situation is such that the Board could hardly carry its regular program if this expert and deeply interested contribution were not available. Rev. A. F. Ufford of East China is ably assisting in the For­ eign Department where his knowledge of the Far East is of great help. Rev. Edwin Erickson of South India is in the Home De­ partment. His experience on the field has been valuable as he has corresponded with churches regarding their interest in designated giving. Miss Mildred Proctor, a missionary of the Woman’s Board in East China, handled the detail of the Russian Kit Cam­ paign with ability and is performing other valuable services in the Home and Foreign Departments. Dr. E. H. Clayton, whose talent as an author has international recognition, is giving his skill to the preparation of publicity material along lines needed for the post-war period. Mr. S. J. Goddard with experience in China which fitted him admirably for work in the purchasing and ALONG KINGDOM HIGHWAYS 53

travel department served until March 1, when he began a period of temporary special service to the Chinese Government. Rev. B. M. Johnson, on furlough from South India, has succeeded him.

THE END OF THE EARTHLY TRAIL It is with sincere regret that the Boards, this year, record the death of twenty-eight missionaries. Of the seventeen here listed only one was in active service; sixteen were retired. Nine were General Society missionaries, five were of the Woman’s Society; three were not under full missionary appointment but served the cause of Christ abroad in special capacity. The report of the tragic death of eleven Baptist missionaries in the Philippines in December 1943 is given under separate heading below.

George Ager George Ager, although not under full missionary appointment, served the Mission and the cause of Christ in Bengal-Orissa with devotion. He was born February 20, 1890, in Rajamondry, India. He was employed by the gov­ ernment prior to his marriage to Miss Mary Grace DeTorres of the Church Missionary Society. For some years they were connected with the Free Baptist Mission; Mr. Ager as superintendent of building and repairs, and Mrs. Ager in editorial capacity. Mr. Ager resigned in 1903 and worked as an independent missionary. His last years were spent in the Salgodia station. The Bengal-Orissa Conference Minutes of December 1944, contain the following: “ V oted: That we place on record our sense of great loss in the death of our beloved colleague and brother, George Ager, on December 7, 1944. Mr. A ger leaves as his memorial a Christian village which he settled and shepherded and served many years, with its school, and a commodious church edifice. His influence goes on in the lives of many people, older and younger, of whom many are active in Christian work, and who owe much to the education which he made possible.”

Elam J. Anderson, Ph.D., LL.D. Dr. Elam J. Anderson, 54, president of the University of Redlands, died August 17, 1944, of a heart attack. Missionary from 1916-1927, he served in China and continued his missionary interest after returning to the home­ land. H e was vice-president of the Northern Baptist Convention in 1937 and had been a member of the Board of Managers of the Foreign Mission Society since 1938. Dr. Anderson gave freely of his time in important committee service, both educational and philanthropic. Born in Chicago, 111., February 28, 1890, he received his education at Drake and Cornell Universities, with theological training at the Swedish 54 ALONG KINGDOM HIGHWAYS

Baptist Theological Seminary and the University of Chicago Divinity School. He received his Ph.D. degree from the University of Chicago, and in 1936, Ottawa University, Kansas, conferred on him the LL.D. degree. He was an instructor in public speaking at Cornell University from 1913 until his appointment to foreign mission service in 1916. H e served as professor of Education at the University of Shanghai for nine years and in 1926 became principal of the Shanghai American School. Returning to the United States in 1932 he accepted the presidency of Linfield College, Oregon, and did an outstanding work there. In 1938 he was elected presi­ dent of the University of Redlands. Dr. Anderson was the author of English Teaching Efficiency in China and of several books on music appreciation. Dr. Anderson was recognized in American educational circles as a creative thinker. His “Linfield Plan” has served to strengthen and at the same time make more flexible the college curriculum in America. The matter of a vital Christian faith for faculty and students loomed large in all of Dr. Anderson’s thinking and hosts of American youth bear witness in their daily lives to this warm-hearted and attractive emphasis. He is survived by his wife, a daughter, and two sons.

Lucy L. Austin Miss Lucy L. Austin, retired missionary of the Woman’s American Baptist Foreign Mission Society, was born September 1, 1883, and died on May 10, 1944, in Williamsport, Pa. After years of suffering she was laid to rest from the same church in which she was baptized as a little girl. She first sailed to Burma in 1911, and had charge of the Karen boarding school at Tavoy. She was a graduate of Baptist Institute for Christian Workers in Philadelphia, and before sailing to Burma had had several years of experience in teaching and home mission work. She was a mature Christian with a radiant faith.

Rev. S. A. D. Boggs Rev. Stephen A. Douglas Boggs, 82, retired missionary, died on March 11, 1945, at Shreveport, La. H e served in Assam, India, for forty years, retiring in the homeland in 1932. Mr. Boggs was born in Mason County, Illinois, December 5, 1862. He attended the Universities of Chicago and South Dakota, and received his theological training at the Divinity School, Chicago. Appointed to educational work in Assam in November, 1891, he took charge of the training school at Tura, government center of the Garo Hills district, and in 1904 was transferred to Jorhat. His outstanding con­ tribution was in the educational system and plant he envisioned and estab­ lished, the Jorhat Christian Schools. Twenty-seven years of his life were given exclusively to Jorhat station and school work. The result of his emphasis on trained Christian leadership for Assam is an enduring monu­ ment. H e leaves his wife and one son. ALONG KINGDOM HIGHWAYS 55

Melbourne W . Boynton, M.D. Dr. M. W. Boynton, 'short-term missionary at Judson College, Rangoon, Burma (1926-1928), was killed in August, 1944, a war casualty. He was born on January 30, 1905, in Chicago, 111. A graduate of the University of Chicago (1926, Ph.B.), he was appointed to the English Department of Judson College in 1926. He was married to Miss Mary Smalley, missionary of the Woman’s Society. Family ill-health necessitated their return to the homeland in 1928. He took his medical training during the next few years. Lt. Col. Boynton, chief resident physician at Chicago Lying-In Hospital before entering the service in 1941, was chief of the medical division of the Office of Flying Safety and had conducted numerous experiments and made many jumps to improve jump technique and equipment. He met his death while making an experimental jump from a B-29 Flying Fortress at an altitude of 42,000 feet. His parachute failed to open.

Brayton C. Case Rev. Brayton C. Case was drowned on July 14, 1944, while engaged in relief and rehabilitation work behind the fighting lines in Northern Burma. In his death the cause of Christ and agricultural missions lost one of its most devoted, successful and distinguished leaders. Brayton Case was born in Burma August 18, 1887, the son of missionary parents. H e studied at Brown University (tw o years), the University oi California, where he received his bachelor’s degree in agriculture, the Union Theological Seminary and Columbia University (M .A.) He was appointed to foreign mission service on November 20, 1912. He was married to Miss Lena Tillman in Burma January 17, 1917. Mrs. Case died December 28, 1939. Surviving is a son, Clarke Tillman Case, M.D. In December, 1934, Mr. Case was awarded the Kaisar-I-Hind medal for distinguished service. For his outstanding war service (1942-1944), the British Government awarded him an Honorary Order of the British Empire. Out of his leadership grew the Pyinmana Agricultural School. The school was made to serve his larger purpose, that of bringing more light and a better life to the farmers and villages of Burma. To help the farm­ ing people of Burma was his abiding interest and purpose. This he accom­ plished by providing better seeds, better poultry, better pigs (Christian chickens and pigs, he called them), better farm practices, better marketing, better health, better home life and recreation. And at all times he shared his Christian faith. He always insisted this was the greatest gift he could bestow. In his work he had the interest and financial support of government, and in recent years he organized a demonstration of better agriculture among the hill people of Northern Burma. For many years he held insti­ tutes at the school for farmers and Christian workers that they might receive help and training as needed. When the Japanese invaded Burma and Pyinmana was bombed and the school and community life was hopelessly disorganized, Mr. Case remained to do what he could. Learning that the Chinese army, especially, 56 ALONG KINGDOM HIGHWAYS

needed food, he was highly effective in securing it. Later he put his knowl­ edge of the country and language at the service of General Stilwell and served meritoriously in the 200-mile retreat into India. At General Stil- well’s request he accepted a position as a civilian officer attached to the American military mission in India. He accepted the post as a unique mis­ sionary opportunity to serve the people of Burma, in creating good will and understanding and giving the missionary viewpoint in post-war reconstruction.

Edith E. Crisenberry In 1912 Miss Edith E. Crisenberry was appointed by the Woman’s American Baptist Foreign Mission Society to teach in the Girls’ School in Nowgong, Assam. She had charge of the Normal Training Department as well as the large kindergarten. Under her direction many Indian girls were trained to become teachers and sent throughout the province. In collaboration with an associate she prepared and translated into Assamese a book of kindergarten songs, games and stories, the only one of its kind in Assam and still widely used in elementary schools and kinder­ gartens where the Assamese language is used. H er judgment on mission administration was sought and respected by her associates. In 1934, owing to the failing health of her aged mother, Miss Crisenberry felt that her duty lay in returning to the homeland and caring for her and other relatives. After the death of those who had needed her, her own health was impaired and she could not return to the field. She passed to her reward on November 19, 1944. She was born October 20, 1881.

Mrs. John E. Cummings Mrs. Dora Roberts Cummings, wife of Rev. John E. Cummings, died in Newton Centre, Mass., on August 1, 1944. Dr. and Mrs. Cummings arrived in the United States for retirement in 1932. They had given forty- five and thirty-five years, respectively, to Christian work in Burma. Born in Burlingame, Kans., July 2, 1874, daughter of Rev. and Mrs. W. H. Roberts, she went with them to Bhamo, Burma, at the age of four. Her mother’s early death necessitated the child’s return to the homeland. In 1896, following her graduation from Vassar, she returned to Burma to assist her father in pioneer mission work. The following year (1897) she married Rev. John E. Cummings, of Henzada, and for over thirty-five years they carried on the station evangelistic and educational work there. She was the mother of nine children and this fine family, all living, rise up to call her blessed. She will continue to live in the loving memory of hosts of friends in the Burma Mission and in America.

Bertha A. Fetzer On July 25, 1944, a memorial service was held in the Friends Meeting House of Washington, D. C., in honor of Miss Bertha A. Fetzer, who died in a hospital in Washington, July 22. She had been a member of the Quaker Church for several years. ALONG KINGDOM HIGHWAYS 57

Miss Fetzer was the daughter of Professor J. G. Fetzer, who was for many years a professor in the Baptist Seminary in Hamburg, Germany. She was born March 18, 1885. Her mother was a sister of Dr. Walter Rauschenbusch and also a sister of the second wife of Dr. John E. Clough, who served long as missionary in South India. Professor Fetzer, though of German origin, was brought up in the United States. Aliss Fetzer was born in Hamburg. She studied in Denison University, where she received B.A. and M .A. degrees. In 1910 she went as an appointee of the W om an’s American Baptist Foreign Mission Society to China, where she served in the Memorial Mothercraft School in Huchow. She left China in 1915 following convalescence from typhus fever. She went to Hamburg to visit relatives and was detained there by the German government until the close of the war. Later she attended the New York School of Social Work. She served as a social service worker in Williamsport, Pa., and had been in Federal welfare work in Washington since 1934.

Rev. Isaac S. Hankins Rev. I. S. Hankins, 82, retired missionary, died on November 17, 1944, at Tom s River, N. J. H e served in the South India Mission from 1892 until 1902. His name is familiar to Northern Baptists through the opening of the mission station, Atmakur, in 1893, and its subsequent reopening in 1929. Mr. Hankins was born in Millville, N. J., December 4, 1861. He attended South Jersey Institute (1883-1887), and Bucknell University (1887- 1889). His theological training was received at Crozer Theological Semi­ nary. In November, 1894, he was married to Miss Sophia H. Ellis, in Madras. Following his resignation in 1903, Mr. Hankins held successful pastorates in Pennsylvania, and later in Maryland. Mrs. Hankins’ health had prevented their return to the foreign field and in October, 1920, she died. In 1929, although past retiring age, Mr. Hankins sought permission to return to India at his own expense to reopen and re-establish work at Atmakur. This station had been closed for lack of staff and funds some years before. In 1931, at the age of 70, Mr. Hankins returned to the home­ land.

Rev. F. W . Klein Rev. F. W. Klein, missionary in Assam (1890-189F), died on July 1, 1944. Appointed to work among the Nagas, Mr. and Mrs. Klein arrived on the field in December, 1890. In August, 1891, they returned to the United States because of Mrs. Klein’s ill health.

Helen M. Good Miss Helen M. Good was born November 27, 1871, in Nova Scotia. She served for years as head of the English Girls’ High School, Moulmein, Burma. H er religious life was deep and serene. She was an able admin­ istrator, with a'sensible, practical approach to school problems. Her spiritual discernment and her ability to get at the heart of a problem made her 58 ALONG KINGDOM HIGHWAYS

constantly in demand for the Reference Committee and other important committees of the Burma Mission. What endeared her most to those who knew her was her sympathetic understanding, unfailing kindness, and love for people of all races. Men and women and little children loved her, trusted her, brought their worries and their troubles to her, and turned to her constantly for counsel and help. She passed away May 6, 1944.

Annie L. Prince In the long line of missionaries who have served in Moulmein few have left such a deep impression on both the mission and the Burma church as did Miss Annie L. Prince, who was called to her heavenly home January 30, 1945. She was born March 13, 1872. Miss Prince went to Burma first in 1901. After thirty-one years in educational work she retired in Wenham, Massachusetts. For years through her service at the English Girls’ High School at Moulmein she built her life and her rich Christian character into the living fabric of the Anglo-Indian community. The teachers under her found in their superintendent an example of true Christian living, a standard of straight thinking and an ideal of faithful service. In the days when the Karens were crowding into the Kingdom, when the Burmans were showing high achievement in leadership, and even the primitive hill tribes were begging for instruction that they, too, might enter the church, it was felt by many that the work among the Anglo-Indians was uninspiring and unfruitful. They were a people that desperately needed friends. Miss Prince was their friend in every sense of the word. By her love and by her faith in them she lifted them to self-respect, to Christian living and experience. The remarkable fortitude and stability of character that teachers and pupils of this much respected school of Moulmein have shown in the afflictions of the past few years prove that her faith in them was not misplaced. For • generations to come, they will rise up and call her blessed, because they have learned from her the riches that are in Christ Jesus.

Rev. Frederick N. Smith In the death of Rev. Frederick N. Smith on September 30, 1944, the West China Mission lost one of its pioneer educational workers. Mr. and Mrs. Smith sailed for China, October 4, 1911, the year of the revolution and the establishment «of the Chinese Republic. The thirty years which Mr. Smith gave to China covers the formative and turbulent years of the young republic. Upon arrival in West China they were appointed to Yachow (Y a a n ), a city of 30,000. H e was put in charge of the educational work for boys and it was in this sphere that he made his largest contribu­ tion. Mr. Smith’s great dream was to establish in West China a school like Mt. Hermon, Mass. The gift of a friend made this possible and a high school was built on a hill outside the city. The school overlooks a rich valley with a winding river to one side with a panorama of high mountains in the background. It is difficult to evaluate the ever-widening influence of the graduates of this school on the community and the Christian work in ALONG KINGDOM HIGHWAYS 59

West China. Mr. Smith also realized the great need of a trained ministry for the rural districts, $nd a trained lay leadership. Through his influence a Bible school was opened near the high school in 1933, and today its grad­ uates are active in Christian work. Mr. Smith was born in East Worcester, N. Y., July 14, 1879. He was a graduate of Princeton University (1907, B.A.), Rochester Theological Seminary, 1910, and Columbia University Teachers College (1919, M.A.). In August, 1910, he was married to Miss Lucy H. Holmes. He is survived by his wife, a daughter, and a son.

Mrs. W . S. Sweet Mrs. Josephine Mead Sweet, widow of Rev. Winfield S. Sweet, died in Shanghai, China, on April 15, 1945. Mrs. Sweet was born in Beaver Dam, Wis. She was married on June 21, 1889, and appointed to foreign service in May, 1893. In September of that year they sailed for China, designated to Hangchow. In January, 1913, they were transferred to Kinhwa, then in November, 1914, to Hangchow again, to Wayland Academy. In Sep­ tember, 1917, while on furlough, Mr. Sweet died in Rochester, Minn. Mrs. Sweet returned alone to China in March, 1918, and for some years continued in independent mission work, as director of the Sweet Baptist Mission, with activities in Hangchow and Shanghai. Her son, Dr. Winfield Carey Sweet, who died in 1942, was for two years a surgeon at the Christian Hospital, Shaohing, China. As a director of the Rockefeller Foundation, with special work in campaigns against hookworm and malaria in China, Australia, Ceylon, India, Panama and South America, he contributed largely to the welfare of the world’s peoples.

Lillian V. Wagner On September 14, 1898, a party of nine missionaries set sail from Boston, Mass., for various stations in Burma and India. Three, including Miss Lillian V. W agner, were appointees of the W om an’s Society and had had a happy year of training at Newton Centre, Mass. Miss Wagner, a nurse, soon became supervisor of nurses’ training in Nellore, a department she helped develop into one of our finest mission institutions in South India. She served in several stations and finished her service at Ramapatnam. This small beginning at Ramapatnam, too, became a center for the women in the outlying area and has grown into a large work. The years brought her retirement and she returned to Rochester, N. Y. She found inactivity impossible and cared for the infirm at the Baptist Home for the Aged at Fairport, N. Y., until she was too infirm herself to bear the strain on her sympathy and strength. She spent herself for others and on October 7, 1944, her tired mind and body found release. She was born April 3, 1865.

Herbert James Vinton Word of the death of Mr. Herbert J. Vinton, “somewhere in Burma,” early in 1942, reached New Y ork in 1945. Mr. Vinton was the last of his 60 ALONG KINGDOM HIGHWAYS

generation of that illustrious Haswell-Vinton-Seagrave missionary family who have already given well over five hundred years of service in Burma. At the time of the Japanese invasion of Rangoon, in 1941, he was so ill and helpless with paralysis, that it was felt he could not be taken to India. His devoted Karens took him to a village in the jungle where he was kept in safety. His nephew, ‘Dr. Gordon Seagrave, only recently learned of his death, “amid loved friends, where he peacefully fell asleep.” H e was born in Burma, July 17, 1869. H is early schooling was secured in the United States. His parents were in charge of the great Rangoon Sgaw-Karen Mission, and he returned to assist them in the school, and in various other capacities. He was always listed as a local worker rather than as an appointed missionary. At one time he served as officiating superintendent of the Karen High School, and as Mission treasurer. Always he was engaged in evangelistic work for which he was eminently fitted and singularly successful. He spoke the Karen language as a vernacular, and was a fine singer, two facts which endeared him to the Karens. The number of young people he helped through school will never be known. He was expert with the camera and contributed largely in mission circles in that way. During the last years of his life he was a great and patient sufferer. His beloved Karens ministered to him as tenderly as to one of their own— as indeed he was. Faithful to the end, he entered into the joy of his Lord.

To this list must be added the name of a co-worker in Kingdom work, Mrs. F. Alex Stewart, member of the Board of Managers of the Woman’s American Baptist Foreign Mission Society, presi­ dent of women’s work in Minnesota, and a member of the Board of the State Convention. Mrs. Stewart died on December 26, 1944."

Philippine Missionary Martyrs One of the most tragic episodes in missionary history is the death of eleven missionaries and one missionary son, at the hands of the Japanese, in the Philippines, in December 1943. A message from the Provost Marshal General’s Office, Washington, D. C., received in New York, March 21, 1944, read:

This office regrets to inform you that information believed to be reliable has been received which indicates that they died in Japanese custody, on the island of Panay, Philippine Islands, on December 19, 1943.

The message referred to Mr. and Mrs. J. Howard Covell. In the weeks that followed the same type of report was received con­ cerning: Miss Jennie C. Adams, Miss Dorothy A. Dowell, Miss Signe A. Erickson, Dr. and Mrs. Frederick W. Meyer, Rev. and ALONG KINGDOM HIGHWAYS 61

Mrs. Francis H. Rose, Rev. and Mrs. Erie F. Rounds, and their nine-year-old son, Erie Douglas. The State Department forbade general publicity for military reasons. Only the families and imme­ diate friends were informed. In May 1945, the ban was lifted. Newspapers throughout the country broadcasted shocking details of the death of these missionary colleagues. Whether or not there have been authentic, eye-witness accounts of the tragedy is uncer­ tain. It is known that they were captured in the little mountain retreat, “ Hopevale,” and put to death on either the 19th or the 20th of December 1943. Details of their sacrificial life and death are given in the memorial booklet, THROUGH SHINING ARCH­ W A Y, which has been printed for wide distribution. Accordingly, only the usual brief life sketch is given in this official report.

Jennie C. Adams On June 16, 1896, Jennie Adams was born in Page, Nebr. Her church membership was in the First Baptist Church, Chambers, Nebr. Her dedi­ cation to foreign service while in high school culminated in her appointment in March, 1923. She attended the Nebraska Wesleyan University, Dr. Benjamin F. Bailey School for Nurses, Illinois Training School for Nurses, Western Reserve University School of Nursing and trained in Green Gables Hospital, Lincoln, Nebr., and Cook County Hospital, Chicago. On the staff of the Emmanuel Hospital, Capiz, Miss Adams had the charm that comes with an unconsciousness of her own personal gifts. She was a skillful, comforting nurse, but was also able with her pen, some of her World W'ide Guild programs written for Filipino girls being used in this country as well. She was a tireless evangelist who held a warm place all her own in the affections of the people for whom “she hath done what she could.”

J. Howard Covell Mrs. Charma Moore Covell The Covells belonged to two Baptist missions, the one in Japan, the other in the Philippines. J. Howard Covell was born in Athens, Pa., March 4, 1896. He was a graduate of Brown University, B.Sc., and of the University of Chicago, M.A., 1928. He took his theological training at the Hartford School of Religious Pedagogy and at Newton Theological Institution. He was appointed to educational work at Mabie Memorial College, Yokohama, Japan, and served there until 1939, when he was transferred to the Philip­ pines. H e served at Central Philippine College from 1939 until the invasion of the Philippines by the Japanese in 1942. Mrs. Covell was born in Fultonham, Ohio, July 16, 1895. She was a graduate of Ohio State University, 1918, and of the Baptist Missionary 62 ALONG KINGDOM HIGHWAYS

Training School, Chicago, 1919. She was appointed to service in Japan, under the Wpman’s Society, in June, 1920. In July, 1922, she was married in Japan. Two daughters and a son were born to them. Commitment to international peace and good will was an integral part of the Covells’ commitment to Christ. They loved people and believed in the supremacy of love. Their home radiated that spirit and all were wel­ come there. Students without number were drawn to the Master because of their example of Christlike living. A friend has said, “They adorned the gospel of Jesus Christ.” They died bravely, going from their very knees into the glorious presence of God.

Dorothy A. Dowell Miss Dorothy A. Dowell was born in Denver, Colo., on April 11, 1889, but New England claimed most of her years before her appointment to foreign service on December 27, 1'919. She came as a great Christmas gift to the Woman’s Society, who scarcely' could have dreamed the personal sacrifice to her involved in that appointment. Those who know her conse­ cration best are the first to say she would not have considered giving up her life in martyrdom as too great a gift for her Lord. Her letters carry little about herself but are freighted with dreams and plans for the Baptist Mis­ sionary Training School at Iloilo, Panay. She was a speaker, teacher, and administrator. Her fine mind was trained at Northfield Seminary, Brown University, Baptist Missionary Training School, Columbia University, Hart­ ford School of Religion, and Biblical Seminary in New York. Her church membership was in Fourth Baptist Church, Providence, R. I.

Signe A. Erickson Miss Signe A. Erickson was born in Akeley, Pa., April 20, 1898. She was a member of the Calvary Church of Warren, Pa. Her appoint­ ment to foreign service came in March, 1930. She was thoroughly trained at Clarion State Hospital, Moody Bible Institute, Gordon College, Bethel Seminary and Teachers College, Columbia University. While in the service of the New York City Mission Society she made a valuable contribution to the work at Emmanuel House, Brooklyn. Miss Erickson was always an evangelist herself and it was fitting that she should be associated through the years with Miss Dorothy Dowell in the Baptist Missionary Training School at Iloilo on the island of Panay. By nature and God’s grace she had much to give and she gave it all.

Frederick W . Meyer, M.D. Mrs. Ruth Schacht Meyer Dr. Frederick W. Meyer, 51, Superintendent of Emmanuel Hospital, Capiz, met his death in December, 1943, “ in the custody of the Japanese.” Dr. Meyer was born in New Haven, Conn., August 1, 1892. He was a graduate of Yale University, A.B., 1915, and of Yale Medical School, M.D., 1919. H e was married to Miss Ruth Schacht in August, 1919. Appointed to the Philippines in February, 1919, Dr. and Mrs. Meyer spent ALONG KINGDOM HIGHWAYS 63

all their missionary years in Capiz. In his work Dr. Meyer captured the love and esteem of the people of different races, creeds and nationalities. He won their friendship and won many to his Lord and Master. Emmanuel Hospital was the center from which his ministry radiated to the whole province. A contemporary says of him: “In Dr. Meyer one saw the burning, cleansing, healing, redeeming power of a great light, shining in the name of One who to him was ■ the source of all light and power.” Mrs. Meyer, 51, was born in Racine, Wis., on November 9, 1892. Her interest was in music and her years of special vocal training at the Chicago Musical College and elsewhere brought rich results. Mrs. Meyer con­ tributed greatly to the development of the Department of Music at Central Philippine College. She taught voice and sang on many public occasions. Three sons were born to the Meyers. She, too, is numbered among those who “gave the last full measure of devotion.”

Francis H. Rose, D.D. Mrs. Gertrude Coombs Rose The gigantic task of post-war reconstruction and rehabilitation in the Philippines will have to be carried on without the aid of one of the ablest missionaries, Dr. Francis H. Rose,'president of Central Philippine College, “ a human dynamo,” his friends called him. More versatile than most men, he was skilled in the tools of the arts, sciences and letters. H e was loved and respected for his open-mindedness and contagious personality. F. H. Rose was born in Norwich, Conn., March 30, 1884. He was a graduate of Colby College, A.B., 1909; Newton Theological Institution, B.D., 1912; Columbia University, M.S., 1918; and the University of Chicago, M.Sc., 1930. In 1936 Colby College honored him with the D.D. degree. He was appointed to missionary service in January, 1912, and served in Iloilo from 1912-1917 and from 1921-1942. His self-sacrificing, generous aid to Filipino students in helping them prepare for places of leadership is a worthy memorial. Mrs. Rose was born in Bristol, Vt., February 21, 1885. She was a grad­ uate of the Normal Department of Robinson Seminary, of Tilton Seminary, Colby College, A.B., 1911; Columbia University, M.A., 1918. She was, married in September, 1912, and sailed with her husband for the Philip­ pines. Mrs. Rose, on the staff of Central Philippine College, also served as acting treasurer of the Philippine Mission and of the College. Her hos­ pitality was known far and wide. She loved her home and loved to share it. T w o children were born to them, a son, Weston, who died in 1926, and a daughter, Elinor. As these missionaries lived, so they died, fertile seed of a mighty church in the land of their adoption and sacrifice.

He had returned to spend Christmas with, his family and arrived in camp just in time to be captured and put to death. Erie F. Rbunds was bom in Eau Claire, Wis., July 11, 1901. He attended Wisconsin State Normal School, Moody Bible Institute and Berkeley Bap­ tist Divinity School. He was ordained in May, 1930, and appointed Xo foreign service, designated to the Philippines. He had a rugged, pioneering spirit and his, work in the mountain villages called, forth the best that was in. him. He won the ¡confidence of the people, and, changed, lives and organized churches bear testimony to the effectiveness of his devotion* • M rs. Rounds, 39, was born in Chippewa Falls, W is., M arch 4, 1904. She grew up in a home with a rich missionary heritage and quite naturally turned to foreign service as a life commitment Her knowledge and use of the Visayan aided greatly in the work. She shared the joys and hardships of pioneering work .with her husband with a valiant and happy spirit. Two children, Donal, and, Erie Douglas, were born to them. Donal was attending high school in Manila when the invasion came, and was interned at Santo Tomas, and later released by the American forces. Erie Douglas, a lad of nine years, was with his parents ahd went with them into the hills. He, too, was killed.

Missionaries, board mem­ bers and secretaries who have served in deputation during the year 1944-1945, chiefly under the auspices of the Council on Finance and Promotion, are as follows:

In addition to these missionaries, many members of the Board of Managers, secretaries, and appointees-in-waiting of the Woman’s Foreign Board have shared their experiences with the churches. It is hoped that their efforts have proved- for them and lor the people an enriching experience in Kingdom service.

League of Interpreters The League of Interpreters has been able to give significant service in hundreds of churches. Approximately 500, women have been on call to tell of the work on various fields and more than

China’s only known quadruplets. Born under bombardment during war years they bear the unique names (left to right): Great Britain Chu, China Chu, United States Chu, mid Russia Chu

150 isolated churches have received materials of missionary in­ terest. „ This latter figure means that over 100 churches were informed about foreign missions this year that did not receive this service last year. The League publication, News and Tools, has been a new and acceptable venture.

Seminars for Theological Students and Pastors Seminars for students and pastors have provided a concentrated presentation of the many phases of work carried on by the agen­ ALONG KINGDOM HIGHWAYS 67

cies of the Northern Baptist Convention. A seminar for theological students in the eastern states was held at Philadelphia in April, 1945. In addition a number of state seminars for groups of pas­ tors were held. Wisconsin pastors met at Green Lake in Septem­ ber, 1944; western Pennsylvania pastors at Grove City in Sep­ tember; Kansas pastors at Wichita in October; Indiana pastors at Indianapolis in December. Pastors and students alike have found inspiration and help in the freedom of question and answer that has characterized all sessions of the seminars.

National Committee on Woman’s Work The work of the National Committee on Woman’s Work during the past year has assumed unusual importance. The major pro­ gram booklet entitled Thy Peace and other publications which have been prepared have had wider distribution than in any previous year. An increasing number of women’s societies are looking to the National Committee for help and guidance. What Is That in Thine Hand?, a small leaflet, was prepared to give particular emphasis to five objectives. The Leaders’ Guide, a compilation of helps for officers and departmental chairmen, has been revised and distributed widely. Following a very serious discussion by state Presidents and members of the Woman’s Boards in Atlantic City in May, 1944, the goal of $300,000 was accepted by the women for their Love Gift offering for 1944-1945. To stimulate interest in the total work of the denomination, a small leaflet entitled, There Is Always a Reason was prepared. Miss Ruth Finwall, Staff Secretary of the Women’s Division of the World Emergency Forward Fund and Field Representa­ tive of the National Committee, has helped the women of the denomination to become better, acquainted with budget problems and to work more intelligently toward the support of many far- reaching projects. Mrs. Edwin W. Parsons, Chairman of the National Committee, and Miss Finwall have visited a number of State Woman’s Boards to help in this interpretation. In the first annual Missions Conference held at the Northern Baptist Assembly, Green Lake, Wis., in the summer of 1944, the National Committee sponsored a series of classes and helpful discussions on women’s work. Eight state presidents shared in 68 ALONG KINGDOM HIGHWAYS the discussions and the large number of women at the Missions Conference took advantage of the opportunity to become ac­ quainted with missionaries and other leaders. The theme chosen for the women's program for 1945-1946 is Thy Spirit Kindles the Flame. A special program booklet has been prepared for distribution by the Baptist Literature Bureau. A number of Baptist women leaders, including several mem­ bers of the National Committee, attended the Second Biennial Assembly of the United Council of Church Women in Columbus, Ohio, in November, 1944. Women of many denominations shared their common interests in conference and prayer. Mrs. Harper Sibley, President of the United Council, plead for a co-operative effort in the witness which all Christians should give. In Washington, D. C., on March 23, 1945, a conference of church leaders was held to consider problems due to come before the United Nations Conference in San Francisco. Mrs. R. L. Spoerri, the chairman of the National Christian Citizenship Com­ mittee, represented Northern Baptist women at that conference.

Northern Baptist Assembly, Green Lake The Northern Baptist Assembly at Green Lake, Wis., had its initial season in the summer of 1944. Seven national confer­ ences were held as follows: Youth, Laymen, Christian Education

Dawn again—Rangoon Harbor ALONG KINGDOM HIGHWAYS 69

Workers, Missions, Spiritual Resources, Evangelism, Children’s Workers. Over 1,200 delegates were registered during the sum­ mer from 33 of the 36 states of the Convention. The largest tower on the assembly grounds has been named Judson Tower; and one of the assembly halls, Brayton C. Case Hall. Enthusiasm for Green Lake and its possibilities as an educational, inspirational, and integrating force in the Convention seemed irresistibly to mark everyone who attended. Within a few years, when travel condi­ tions are normal, many thousands of Northern Baptists will find their way to Green Lake every summer. It gives every promise of being to the Northern Baptist Convention what Ridgecrest and Montreat are to Southern Baptists and Southern Presbyterians.

Telling the Story in Print The printed story of the on-going gospel reaches thousands who might never hear the spoken missionary message. War­ time curtailment of paper has made careful and wise selection of subjects necessary. Each of the booklets and leaflets listed below has filled a very definite need in the year’s program: Along Kingdom Highways (1944 illustrated Annual Report, popular edition) ; Beyond the War’s Horizons, Envoys of an Eter­ nal Kingdom—Wilson; We Preach Christ— Klahsen; We Can If We Will; With One Accord in One Place; Verbal Snapshots; Where Are They N ow ?; Calling ABM Burma— Chaney; Praying Hearts and Check-a-logue— Wigginton. Promotional leaflets and booklets dealing with the Societies’ annuities, wills, and need for new missionaries have also been printed and distributed. Pen sketches of missionaries and Chris­ tian nationals have been prepared by the Woman’s Society. Mis­ sionary Mosaic, This Would We Say, and Where Humble Hearts Receive Him— Wilson, and many other earlier, printed items have continued to find a ready sale and eager reading. Missions, Watchman Examiner, Young People, Shanghai Eve­ ning Post and Mercury, and denominational and secular state papers the country over have carried feature stories and news items of Baptist missionaries and their work. Through Vision, A Book of Remembrance, Christian World Facts, and post-war material, much data has reached the constituency. 70 ALONG KINGDOM HIGHWAYS

The written reports of the visits of the Foreign Secretaries, Hazel F. Shank and Dana M. Albaugh to the Belgian Congo have been outstanding contributions of the year. Kongo Kintuadi, a book rich in material and pictures, is being written by Mr. Dana M. Albaugh and will be published by the Department of Mis­ sionary Education. This and the pictorial leaflet I Sat Where They Sat, by Miss Hazel F. Shank, coincide with the need for supplementary material for the 1945-1946 mission study. A new wall map of Africa, with an inset map of Baptist stations in the Belgian Congo, is the first in a special series of mission maps. The distribution of mimeographed newsletters and reports from missionaries is a headquarters service which continues to receive marked appreciation. Approximately fifty thousand copies were mailed to individuals throughout the Northern Baptist Convention during the year.

Emergency Funds The two Foreign Mission Societies benefited this year also from the World Emergency Fund. The extent of their partici­ pation is set forth in the statements of the Treasurers which ap­ pear in Part II of this report. In the proposed Post-war Fund, to be launched early in the fiscal year 1945-1946, the two Societies will be named to receive substantial sums for post-war relief, rehabilitation, and advance program needs. A full account of the participation in this fund also appears in Part II, under title of POST-W AR PROGRAM.

White Cross Despite the obstacles created by war it has been possible to continue a limited amount of shipping of White Cross supplies to a few foreign mission stations. For the calendar year 1944, ship­ ments were larger than for 1943. The gratitude expressed by missionaries who have received supplies, and the reports brought by Board secretaries who have visited the Congo, have indicated that the White Cross ministry is a very valuable part of the whole foreign mission enterprise. Would that it were possible to visualize for each reader what it ALONG KINGDOM HIGHWAYS 71

means to unpack a case of supplies on the field and use the articles in ministering to the needs of people! Two special emergency appeals were authorized by the Northern Baptist Convention in May, 1944— the sending of household kits for Russian relief, and used' clothing for Europe. The denomi­ national goal for Russian kits was 52,000; the responses from churches in providing these tangible evidences of love and good

Washday in a mountain stream, Burma will for war victims has been very encouraging. Practical shipping difficulties and problems of administration prevented the carrying through of the clothing drive as anticipated. Many Baptist churches have co-operated with the United Nations Relief and Rehabilita­ tion Administration in a used-clothing relief project, thus sharing with thoste in need. The need for White Cross supplies will continue to provide church women, particularly, with an opportunity for volunteer service. REAPING WHERE GOD HAS SOWN This, then, is some of the sowing wheye God Himself has plowed, and some of the reaping where God Himself has sown. W e are but laborers in His fields, fellow-laborers with Him “to the praise of His glory” through Jesus Christ our Lord.

FINANCIAL REVIEW OF THE YEAR OUTCOME OF THE YEAR The Board of Managers in presenting the financial review of the year wishes to express its gratitude to the churches and individuals who by their increased giving have made it possible for the fiscal year ended April 30, 1945, to close without an accumulated deficiency of income. The only other year since 1920 that the Board has been able to make such a favorable report was in 1933 when the previous year’s deficiency was can­ celed and an excess of income of $4,133.38 was reported. A t April 30, 1944, the accumulated deficiency of income was $34,009.56. Net adjustments in the budgets of previous years, the final distribution of Council on Finance and Promotion for 1943-1944, together with the excess of income on the current budget of $16,203.14, enables the Board to report that the deficiency of income in prior years has been provided for and it has an excess of income of $4,645.07 on April 30, 1945.

SUMMARY OF INCOME AND BUDGET APPROPRIATIONS Receipts on account of the regular budget from sources other than dona­ tions were $335,504.71, from donation $572,570.14, from the W orld Emer­ gency Forward Fund $98,351.09, making a total regular budget income of $1,006,425.94. The regular budget expenditures and appropriations amounted to $990,222.80. The excess of regular budget income over budget expendi­ tures and appropriations amounted to $16,203.14.

RECEIPTS Income from Sources Other than Donations Income from sources other than donations amounted to $335,504.71, as compared with $337,543.38 in 1943-1944. Income from investments of permanent funds is reported as $248,129.18, which approximates the budget estimate of $245,000.00. The appropriation of $60,000.00 from the legacy equalization reserve approaches the average receipts of the last five years. The matured special gift agreements appropriation of $1,383.59 represents amounts designated for special phases of the Society’s work. The grant of $8,000.00 of The Ministers and Missionaries Benefit Board applies against the expenditures of the Society for retired missionaries and their widows which amounted to $112,752.89. The W om an’s American Baptist Foreign Mission Society has continued its appropriation of $8,473.39 towards the foreign field cost of mission administrative processes which serve both Boards. The miscellaneous income of $9,518.55 includes designated income for special purposes, rent received on mission properties, and interest received on deposits in foreign banks. 76 ALONG KINGDOM HIGHWAYS

Gifts from Churches and Individuals The donation receipts of $572,570.14 show an increase of $42,596.55, or 8 per cent, as. compared with last year’s receipts of $529,973.59. The unified budget receipts have shown a gradual increase since 1939-1940. The con­ tinued increased gifts from the churches and individuals give encourage­ ment. This increase in gifts, however, is not in proportion to the increase of the total national income payments to individuals which has more than doubled since 1939. Donations forwarded directly to the Society in the amount of $49,049.00 represent an increase of $2,597.89 when compared with last year’s receipts of $46,451.11. Contributions from the Council on Finance and Promotion amounted to $523,521.14 and represented an increase of $39,998.66 as com ­ pared with last year’s receipts of $483,522.48. The undesignated and designated receipts as compared with last year are shown below.

1945 1944 Increase Undesignated ...... $341,581.16 $307,867.00 $33,714.16 10.9% Designated ...... 230,988.98 222,106.59 8,882.39 4.0% $572,570.14 $529,973.59 $42,596.55 8.03% Approximately 40 per cent of the donation income is received in desig­ nated contributions. The actual receipts from this source exceeded the budget expectancy of $217,400.00 by the amount of $13,598.98, thus in a large measure influencing the favorable outcome of the year. The unified budget expectancy of undesignated receipts for the fiscal year was $2,650,000, of which the Society’s share was to be $340,000.00. The Society’s undesignated receipts were $341,581.16, or an increase of $1,581.16 over the expectancy. The increase in the Society’s share of undesig­ nated receipts is not in proportion to the percentage increase of the undesig­ nated receipts in the unified budget for the following reasons: The report of the Finance Committee of the Northern Baptist Conven-- tion authorized the continuance of the system of primary and secondary allotments of undesignated money. It further provided that the distribution of undesignated receipts to the national organizations should be limited to approximately 103 per cent of the budget expectancy and that the balance should apply on Part II of the budget. It is also possible for a church or individual to request that in distributing their undesignated contribution that a particular organization be excluded. Designations of this nature have reduced the Society’s undesignated receipts by approximately $4,500.00. Therefore, while the unified budget’s undesignated receipts showed an increase of approximately 8 per cent, the Society’s share is only slightly more than the budget allotment. Budget Appropriations The regular budget appropriations amounted to $990,222.80. The author­ ized budget was $1,006,900.00 and included an amount of $120,000.00 from the World Emergency Forward Fund for emergency expenditures and an item of $20,000.00 for debt reduction. ALONG KINGDOM HIGHWAYS 77

SUPPORT OF MISSIONARIES Missionaries Salaries The appropriations for the support of missionaries amounted to $591,094.32 as compared with the total for last year of $570,716.76. The items compris­ ing this total are detailed on the statement of budget appropriations. The continued mounting cost of living in all of the Society’s fields has made necessary substantial appropriations for salary adjustments. The following sentences briefly set forth the increases in field salary that the Board has found it necessary to authorize in order that the missionaries might be provided with a minimum standard of living.

C h i n a Inflation in China has accelerated during the year. The February index of the cost of living in China is 129,000. This means that it now requires 1,290 Chinese dollars to purchase what one Chinese dollar would buy in 1937. In order to supply the missionaries in China with a sufficient number of Chinese dollars to buy food and fuel the Board authorizes a Chinese currency salary. This salary for West China missionaries for the month of April was Ccy. 48,000 for each individual, or approximately $160.00 U.S. per person per month at the United Clearing Board’s (Chungking, China) present rate of exchange (see paragraph on exchange). For many years the normal rate of exchange for the Chinese dollar was $2.00 Chinese for $1.00 U.S. The present fixed rate of exchange for relief, religious and charitable organizations is $40.00 Chinese for $1.00 U.S. If, during the past year, the Board had not had the benefit of the United Clearing Board’s rate of exchange the cost of the China missionaries’ salaries would have been $157,845.97 instead of $36,885.71. The United Clearing Board has therefore saved the Board approximately $120,000.00 on missionaries’ sal­ aries alone. It is hoped that with the opening of the Burma Road and the shipment of consumer goods into China the inflation may be controlled and prices return to a more normal level. A n additional uncertainty in the China situation is that one does not know from month to month or day to day how many Chinese dollars one U.S. dollar will buy. Thus many budget problems are created and the Board must rely upon the China missions to advise them of the Chinese currency requirements for salary at fairly regular intervals.

B u r m a , S o u t h I n d i a , B e n g a l -O r i s s a , A s s a m Thirty-five per cent increase on the normal missionary salary and allow­ ances for children, effective as of May 1, 1945.

B e l g i a n C o n g o Twenty per cent increase on the normal missionary salary and allowances for children, effective as of May 1, 1945. The foregoing illustrates the increased living costs of missionaries and nationals in all fields that are the direct result of a war economy. 78 ALONG KINGDOM HIGHWAYS

Many missionaries who have served in the Burma, East China and Japan fields have temporarily accepted other employment in order to relieve the Board of the payment of home salary. It is hoped that the time is approach­ ing when they might return to their own or other mission fields. In order that funds would be available to return these missionaries to the field appropriations of one year’s salary and passage expense have been included in the budget for fifteen missionaries on the “absent with leave” list. Twelve of these missionaries are related to the Burma Mission.

New Missionaries There was appropriated during the past year $18,344.52 for four new missionary families. The appropriations for new missionaries cover their first year’s salary, outfit, and passage expense. Whenever suitable missionary candidates can be found they are appointed and arrangements made for further study so that they will be available to leave for their respective countries of service at the first opportunity.

Passages An amount of $87,035.19 has been appropriated for passages of mission­ aries to and from the field. From M ay 1, 1944, to March 24, 1945, eighteen adults and three children have departed from the U.S. for their mission fields. Of these, one new couple went to the Belgian Congo and another new couple went to Assam. Of the total, eight went to Assam, five to South India, one to Bengal-Orissa and four to Belgian Congo. In this fiscal year, we have been able to secure only one direct passage to the mission field. This was in the case of Dr. Hasselblad, who came home on a very short furlough armed with priorities and special recom­ mendations from military authorities in India. Dr. Hasselblad, therefore, was able to obtain direct passage to India on a ship under the control of" the military. Two missionaries secured passage via Australia, but no others have been sent that way as passage from there to India is very difficult to secure. The others have traveled via Lisbon. From there, some have been able to arrange passage direct, others have transshipped at Durban, South Africa, or Egypt. A direct passage from the United States to the mission field, whether it be India or the Belgian Congo, costs in the neighborhood of $500.00 per person, but each transshipment adds approximately that amount to the cost. Thus, for the majority, we have sent out in the past year, it has cost us between $1,500.00 and $2,000.00 per person. Interesting letters have come from all of these missionaries telling of experiences and difficulties of wartime travel. Forty-eight missionaries have returned to the United States during this same period. In most cases these missionaries have traveled on ships under the control of the military. This has necessitated a long waiting period in ports of embarkation with the result that travel costs have been greatly increased. ALONG KINGDOM HIGHWAYS 79

Support of Work Missionaries are at work in their stations in Assam, South India, Bengal- Orissa, West China’ and Belgian Congo. Approximately 60 per cent of the money appropriated under this heading is expended in those areas. Burma and East and South China are contiguous to other areas where the Society has work and reports are received from time to time of the work that is being carried on by the Nationals. Appropriations for mission work con­ tinue to include the normal appropriation for the mission work in Burma, Japan, East and South China, and the Philippines. Such appropriations do not constitute reserve funds, but are simply deferred expense that the Board must continue to set aside to meet its continuing obligations to Chris­ tians in these areas. Reports from some of the partially liberated areas indicate that some monies have been borrowed or advanced during the period of occupation to maintain the field program.

Land, Buildings and Equipment Preliminary information is being received concerning the Society’s prop­ erty in areas previously occupied by the enemy. From upper Burma we learn that the stations of Myitkyina, Bhamo and Namkham are practically destroyed. Word comes from Assam that Kohima and Kangpokpi have suffered heavy damage. The hospital and Central Philippine College and the missionary residences at Iloilo in the Philippines are believed to be a total loss. Reports from East China are that the church property in Huchow, Hangchow and Kinhwa has suffered heavy damage. Recent cable reports regarding South China tell of the complete looting of the Kityang Station property. With the resumption of work in these and other areas the Board will face an immediate and urgent need for money for rebuilding churches, chapels, missionary residences and some institutions together with, needed equipment. An appropriation of $25,000.00 has been set aside so that a beginning might be made on the reconstruction and rehabilitation program.

Post-war Fund

T o enable the Board to take immediate steps to rebuild the missionary staff there has been received the amount of $54,000.00 from post-war funds raised in prior years. This appropriation covers the average expense for one year for thirteen missionary families. With this appropriation the Board has started a post-war program for the rebuilding of the missionary staff. This program calls for the appointment of at least eighty missionary couples during the next five years.

Gifts for Specific Objects Receipts and expenditures of gifts for specific objects amounted to $92,082.29. Approximately $49,000.00 of the above represents gifts from churches and friends of individual missionaries who desire to support their work by sums in addition to the appropriations provided from regular budget 80 ALONG KINGDOM HIGHWAYS

donations. There has been transferred from designated temporary funds to the specific budget $20,328.69 and approximately $14,073.85 of this amount was accounted for by transfer from the J. Ackerman Coles Fund. There has passed through this specific budget account relief monies for the two Foreign Societies from the W orld Em ergency Forward Fund of $24,237.93. This latter amount is referred to in detail under the World Emergency For­ ward Fund paragraph.

WORLD EMERGENCY FORWARD FUND 1944-1945 In addition to the regular budget of $3,300,000.00 the Northern Baptist set for themselves a special task of raising a Part II budget of $2,000,000.00. Preliminary reports indicate that while the total requested represented an increase over that of the prior year that the denomination has given to this fund a total of approximately $1,447,951.00. From the W orld Emer­ gency Forward Fund section of this budget of $700,000.00 there was allotted $200,000.00 for foreign mission needs, this sum to be administered to by the two foreign societies. The Board of Managers of the two societies agreed that the monies received during the year ended April 30, 1945, should be distributed as follows: 1. That $30,000.00 be set aside as a joint fund to be appropriated by the Joint Boards and expended by the missionaries of the societies for relief work. 2. That $50,000.00 be allocated for war emergency expenses that are in addition to the normal budget provisions of the Woman’s Society. 3. That $120,000.00 be allocated for war emergency expenses that are in addition to the normal budget provisions of the General Society. The following is a statement of the World Emergency Fund monies allocated for foreign mission needs as of April 30, 1945:

An analysis of the budget appropriations of both Boards for the fiscal year ended April 30, 1945, indicates that approximately $152,000.00 has been appropriated for emergency expenses in addition to the direct relief appropri­ ations. O f this $152,000.00 the amount of $71,588.08 was needed for emergency increases in salary for India and the Belgian Congo and for cost- of-living adjustments due to inflation in China. For increased work appropria­ tions and cost-of-living adjustments for nationals on all fields the sum of $43,143.00 was required. Increased passage costs, short furlough expenses, income taxes on the foreign fields on missionary salaries and other mis­ cellaneous items absorbed the balance of this $152,000.00. The direct relief needs in Europe, China and India are so pressing that any amount received as a final distribution from the Council on Finance and Promotion on the World Emergency Forward Fund will be used for this purpose.

METHOD OF REMITTING MONEY TO FIELD TREASURERS Money is being forwarded to India by cable to be credited to the South India, Bengal-Orissa, and Assam Mission treasurers’ accounts. The Burma Mission treasurer is located at Allahabad, and he is acting for a number of the Burma missionaries who have not been assigned to one of the India fields. Remittances for Belgian Congo are being forwarded through the office of the Banque du Congo Beige in New York City. The United Clearing Board of Chungking, China, was organized just ■prior to May 1, 1944, for the purpose of selling in the open market foreign exchange drafts and telegraphic transfers of Protestant and Catholic mis­ sions and relief organizations who have work in China. An office has been established in Chungking and the Executive Committee there consists of a representative of the United China Relief, the China Inland Mission, the Catholic Missions and of the National Christian Council. An executive committee has also been set up in New York and this has the following representative members:

Foreign Mission Conference Catholic Organizations United China Relief Associated Boards for Christian Colleges in China China Medical Board 82 ALONG KINGDOM HIGHWAYS

When the United Clearing Board was first established it was not known to what extent the exchange market in China would absorb the drafts that were offered by the Clearing Board in Chungking on the open market nor exactly whit the rate of exchange would be. The stabilized rate of exchange for educational, relief organizations and foreign mission boards is 40 Chinese dollars for one U.S. dollar. The Clearing Board first set a tentative rate of 100 Chinese dollars for one U.S. dollar. The following is the rate of exchange that the United Clearing Board has been able to pay out each month of its operation:

1944 Rate June ...... 81.075 July ...... 112.50 August ...... 120.40 September ...... 128.30 October ...... 130.01 November ...... 139.5 December ...... 228

1945 Rate January ...... 290 February ...... 308.15 March ...... 313.18

The sales of exchange through the United Clearing Board have greatly assisted all of the religious, charitable, and relief organizations who remit funds to China in meeting the greatly increased inflationary costs. Were it not for the increased number of Chinese dollars received through the United Clearing Board, many organizations having work in China would have had to discontinue a large part of it. It is impossible at the present time to make any direct remittances to thè occupied areas of East and South China, or Japan.

MISSION TREASURERS’ REPORTS Foreign mail is uncertain and subject to censorship and delays. For many years the Treasurers’ office in New York has received regularly the quarterly reports that were prepared promptly by the several mission treas­ urers. Following is a list of the latest reports that have been received from the mission treasurers at the close of the current fiscal year: Burma ...... January 31, 1945 Assam ...... October 31, 1944 South India ...... July 31, 1944 Bengal-Orissa ...... July 31, 1944 China: East, South and W e s t .. .October 31, 1944 Belgian Congo ...... January 31, 1945 Japan ...... April 30, 1941 Philippine Islands ...... October 31, 1941 ALONG KINGDOM HIGHWAYS 83

With the return of the China Mission Treasurer, Mr. W. R. Taylor, to the United States, adjustments in the East, South and W est China accounts of the Mission Treasurer prior to December 7, 1941, have been worked through during the past year. A modest amount of cash remains on deposit in Shanghai that undoubtedly will be worthless after the close of the war. The reoccupation of the Philippines by the United States and the return to the United States of Miss Ruth Harris, treasurer of that mission, will undoubtedly make it possible to reconcile and enter the accounts of the Philippine Mission Treasurer during the coming year. This leaves the reports of the Japan Mission as the only one outstanding that there is no immediate prospect of receiving.

INVESTMENT OF PERMANENT FUNDS The Society’s permanent and annuity funds amount to $9,509,288.78. These funds are invested in high-grade corporate bonds, U. S. Treasury issues, mortgages, preferred and common stocks. The Finance Committee has appointed a subcommittee on investments and they have given constant attention to economic and other problems that influence the investment portfolio. We have passed through three years of war economy with the uncer­ tainty and perplexity that resulted when war was declared; the reorienta­ tion of the national economy to the war effort, and the full industrial mobilization for total war. We now hope that we have reached the peak of the nation’s war production drive and are entering the period of reconversion to a peacetime economy. The expansion of industrial production, the greatly increased Government debt, the income and excess profit taxes, increased income of individuals, the movement of families to new centers of industrial activity and the num­ ber of persons in the armed service all represent changes in national life that will seriously affect the future economy. These changes have a direct bearing on the investment of capital funds. A few of the indices are there­ fore given below.

The relationship of these economic factors to the individual types of investments included in the portfolio is commented upon in the following paragraphs. 84 ALONG KINGDOM HIGHWAYS

Railroad Bonds During 1944 well-secured obligations of the railroads reached the highest prices that obtained for comparable issues. The previous historical peak in high-grade rail bonds, according to long-term indices, was reached in June, 1899, when average yields approximated 3 per cent. (National City Bank letter, February, 1945.) Moody’s index of railroad bond yields, which in 1932 showed a high of 7.61 per cent, has declined to 2.73 per cent for March, 1945. There are numerous factors accounting for the rise in railroad bonds. Among them was the continued reduction of debt and the solution of many maturity problems. It is estimated that railroads in 1944 reduced their debt by approximately $450,000,000, while net working capital was up to around $200,000,000. W hile many consider that the railroads must have a perma­ nent place in the national economy, the Investment Committee has utilized the war period to gradually liquidate the weaker railroad holdings in the portfolio. In 1940 railroad bonds comprised 27 per cent of the investment portfolios; this percentage was reduced to 7 per cent at April 30, 1945.

Public Utilities Public utility bond investments amount to $2,611,794.57, or 27 per cent of the total portfolio. The electric light and power industry is stronger financially than at any time in its history; it is attaining new peaks in production of power. The cost to the consumer has not increased, despite high labor and material costs and the burden of higher taxes. The long­ term debt of most utilities has been refinanced with the result that M oody’s Aaa public utility bonds that showed a yield of 3.25 per cent in 1940 yield 2.61 per cent for March, 1945. The percentage of the total portfolio invested in public utilities has not materially changed during the past year. Utility bonds of the highest grade ■ are now selling upon a yield basis that is slightly better than that obtained from government bonds.

U. S. Treasury Bonds The portfolio’s Treasury Bonds have shown a further increase during the year. Government bond holdings now amount to $2,965,736.04, or 31 per cent of the portfolio. Ordinarily a permanent fund that is tax exempt would not hold so large an amount of government bonds. Moody’s average yield for March, 1945, on Aaa corporate bonds was 2.60 per cent. Therefore, on a comparative yield basis and considering all factors, government bonds are a preferable form of investment. The public debt is one of the important questions that will confront the nation in the post-war period. Upon its solution will depend the kind of government and the kind of institution we have in this country. The public debt of the United States in April, 1945, was over 250 billion dollars. The debt limit has been raised to 300 billion dollars, an amount that staggers the ALONG KINGDOM HIGHWAYS 85

imagination. A review of the increase in public debt reveals vividly what has taken place. 1914 public debt l l/> billion dollars 1920 public debt 26 billion dollars 1930 public debt 16 billion dollars 1945 public debt limit 300 billion dollars

The national debt per capita in 1920 was $228.32, by June 30, 1945, the per capita national debt is estimated at $1,875.00. Hence during the post-war period institutions with large investment port­ folios have reason to study and constantly watch trends and policies relating to the government debt. Individuals must also be constantly alert, for a “progressive” or “humanitarian” order cannot be achieved by an ever- increasing public debt. Common Stocks The present investment policy permits investments in common stocks of an amount not to exceed 25 per cent of the market value of the Unrestricted and Restricted Funds. The total market value of investment in common stocks amounts to $921,574.75. Common stock investments in the Unre­ stricted Fund are $189,017.50, or 9.77 per cent and in the Restricted Fund, $732,557.25, or 10.43 per cent. Purchases of stocks have been restricted to those companies which have proven themselves in their respective fields. They were purchased to obtain a degree of protection against a moderate inflation and to increase income. It is the considered opinion of the Investment Committee that in times as uncertain and unusual as the present it is unwise to have the entire portfolio invested in fixed income securities such as bonds. Undoubtedly during the coming year industry will face many problems in the transition from a war to peace program. There is no question but that there has been built up during the war a tremendous accumulation of normal demand for industrial goods. This together with the additional production needed to restore plants and homes abroad that have been destroyed by the war should require a large part of the countries’ industrial capacity for the next few years. However, the long future will be greatly influenced by the attitude of the Government, labor and industry, during the transition from a war to peacetime economy.

It will be noted from the foregoing tabulation that the total bonds included in the portfolio amount to $6,911,441.29 and have an appraised value of $7,376,938.96, or 106.74 per cent. Of these bonds, 98.83 per cent have a Moody’s rating of Aaa, Aa or A, indicating the investment quality of the bonds held. The income earned on the portfolio was 3.17 per cent for Annuity Funds; 3.38 per cent for Restricted Funds; 3.13 per cent for Unrestricted Funds, and 3.31 per cent on the combined total funds.

Investment Policy for 1945-1946 As the Investment Committee believes that interest rates will continue at approximately the present level for the next few years, it is its opinion that the Board should not anticipate receiving more than 2 l/2 per cent on the bonds in the investment portfolio. It would recommend: 1. That the major portion of the Permanent Funds be invested in high- grade bonds, either U. S. Treasury or Corporate. 2. That the remainder of the Permanent Funds may be invested in: (a) High-grade preferred stocks of the stronger industrial or utility companies if these can be obtained on a satisfactory yield basis. ( b) That the policy of investing in common stock as outlined in the action of the Board of Managers, taken at a meeting held on February 4-6, 1942, be continued. This action provides that the purchase of common stocks or their equivalent for investments of Restricted and Unrestricted Funds be limited to a total of 25 per cent of the market value of each of ALONG KINGDOM HIGHWAYS 8 7

these funds; that this percentage is merely to fix a ceiling on the amount to be invested in common stocks and implies no obligation to invest up to or to maintain the common stock holdings or their equivalent at that amount; that the list -of common stock holdings be appraised periodically and, if required, the list be readjusted to limit the market value of common stock holdings to 25 per cent of the respective funds; that all income from common stocks beginning with the purchase of bank stocks authorized on January 23, 1941, above 4 per cent, be set aside as the reserve against possible losses on stock investments. (c) Mortgages on owner-occupied homes or apartment houses for not more than 60 per cent of a conservative appraisal. 3. That any new investments for the Annuity Fund be in accord with requirements of the Insurance Department, i.e., those legal for life insurance companies.

DIVERSIFICATION OF THE SOCIETY’S INVESTMENTS BY TYPES OF SECURITIES The object of this statement is to show the diversification of the Society’s investments, in order to maintain an equitable distribution among different types of securities. For example, it would be unwise to have an undue proportion of investments in railroad, public utility, industrial, municipal and government bonds, or mortgages; the investment must be distributed in all these groups of securities and be further diversified within the group. The following is a summary, by groups of securities, on April 30, 1945:

In the portfolio of Unrestricted, Restricted and Annuity Funds of $9,509,288.78 there are approximately 275 items made up as follows: 123 issues of bonds, 94 mortgages of notes, 3 pieces of property, with a book value of less, than $6,700.00 and classified above under mortgages for con­ venience, stock of 35 industrial companies, 6 banks and 5 insurance com­ panies and 9 miscellaneous items.

MORTGAGE INVESTMENTS AND REAL ESTATE The Foreign Mission Realty Corporation was organized in 1933 to take title to properties that the Society received through the purchase of deed or by foreclosure. It has proven to be a great convenience in handling these properties for, with a small Board of Directors, it is possible to obtain prompt action and further avoid the question of obtaining a court order to sell property that is asked for in some cases when religious organizations incorporated in New York State dispose of property. The directors are T. Raymond St. John, Frederick S. Robinson, Sidney Wilmot, Forrest Smith, and D. F. DeTrude. Since the formation of the Foreign Mission Realty Corporation in 1933, titles to thirty-four properties have been acquired at a cost of $430,572.77. It has been necessary to give constant attention to the maintenance and operation of these properties. They have all been carefully inspected to insure compliance with local ordinances and the building code in order that no liability would fall upon the Foreign Mission Realty Corporation for failure to do so. The properties have also been kept insured. Attention has also been given to the matter of disposing of these properties. Out of the 34 properties acquired as reported above, 27 properties, having a book cost o f $316,680.21, have been sold for $251,600.00. Seven properties remain in the portfolio showing a cost to the Corporation of $113,892.56, a list of these follows: Operating Cost of Debit or Credit Suggested Property Property Balance Selling Price 523 10th St., Brooklyn...... $6,942.78 (Incomplete) $133.01 $5,500.00 1361 Ocean Pkwy., Brooklyn.. 8,023.51 $33.65 ...... 10,000.00 621 Jerome St., Brooklyn— . 19,544.57 ...... 5,103.13 15,750.00 net* 1 Lakeside Dr., Larchmont... 15,200.00 ...... 517.34 9,500.00-10,000.00* 22 Greendale Ave., Mt.

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 1944, eight properties were sold. These properties had been acquired at a principal cost of $90,318.02, net income credits and adjustments were $8,721.95 and they were sold for $74,850.00, with a resulting net loss of $6,746.07. The general policy of the Board of Directors is to dispose of all prop­ erties as rapidly as possible and the Treasurer has been authorized to carry out this general policy. Suggested selling prices have been set on all remain­ ALONG KINGDOM HIGHWAYS 89

ing properties. On none of the properties owned is there any fire violations under the Multiple Dwelling Law. The properties are fully insured for fire, public liability and war-damaging insurance. Although the Foreign Mission Realty Corporation was formed to take title to properties which the Society had acquired through mortgage default, it at the request of the Finance Committee, also took over the servicing of mortgages formerly serviced by certain of the mortgage and title com­ panies. At present the Foreign Mission Realty Corporation is servicing all of the mortgages owned by the American Baptist Foreign Mission Society with the exception of those serviced by the Home Title Guaranty Company. The corporation is servicing 42 mortgages owned by the Society having a face value of $601,482.36. The Home Title Guaranty Company services 40 mortgages having a face value of $309,728.82. The servicing of the mortgages by the Home Title Guaranty Company is under the close supervision of the Foreign Mission Realty Corporation and a constant check is made on the status of these mortgages. The mortgages serviced are sum­ marized in the following statement: Int. or Tax S erv­ Arrears Total iced No. of Assessed Appraised Amount o f 6 Mos. Amort. Per by Mtges.

Each of the 82 mortgages was reviewed in detail at the annual meeting of the Corporation, and they noted in particular situations that require special attention. Under the New York State Mortgage Moratorium Law a holder of a mortgage is not permitted to demand payment of the principal of the loan if the mortgagor is paying interest and amortization payments of 2 per cent per annum of the principal of the loan. The New York State Legislature has authorized amortization payments of 3 per cent per annum of the principal of a loan effective July 1, 1945. There are a few cases in the list of mortgages where the principal should be reduced by amounts in addition to the permitted amortization payments. However, where these owners pay interest, taxes, and the required moratorium payments, there is no other .alternative but to go along with these situations at the present time. Out of the total mortgage income that is received each year, the Finance Committee of the Society has authorized that ^ of 1 per cent of the prin­ cipal amount of all mortgages be set aside at the close of each fiscal year out of income as a reserve for possible future losses in mortgage loans.

t This figure includes a voluntary payment of $3,000.00 on the 943 President Street, Brooklyn, mortgage. * This figure included a voluntary payment o f $2,500.00 on the 550 Second Street, Brooklyn, and 901— 56th Street, Brooklyn, mortgages. 90 ALONG KINGDOM HIGHWAYS

An analysis of interest rates on all mortgages shows that on the 82 mort­ gages having a principal amount of $911,211.18, annual interest was received of $41,958.71, or an average interest on all mortgages of 4.6 per cent.

SPECIAL GIFT AGREEMENTS WITH LIFE ANNUITY RETURN Since January 1, 1940, the Insurance Law of the State of New York has required the segregation of annuity fund assets as separate and distinct from all other funds of the Society, which funds are not applicable to the payments of debts of the Society other than annuity benefits. A minimum reserve must be maintained for annuity contracts and a form of agreement and a schedule of annuity rates must meet with the approval of the New York State Superintendent of Insurance. The Society has com­ plied with the provisions of the Insurance Law of the State of New York. The report to the Insurance Department of the State of New York is, at their request, based upon the calendar year. In view of the filing of this report on a calendar year basis and the complete segregation of annuity assets, a separate statement following the form prescribed by the Insurance Department of the State of New York setting forth the annuity assets, the required reserve as calculated by an independent actuary, together with a report of income and disbursements is published in the Treasurer’s Report. It shows currently appraised assets of $1,225,918.95; a required reserve of $1,089,623.70, to which was added a voluntary contingent reserve of $99,056.70 as an additional safety factor to care for any unusual mortality experience and present interest rates. The balance of $36,816.00 represents unassigned fund or surplus. During the fiscal year there were received 93 new gifts totaling $114,330.00. This amount is in excess of the 78 gifts of the previous year totaling $89,049.79.

RECEIPTS FROM LEGACIES Total receipts from legacies during the year were $81,779.25, of which $17,349.85 was designated for permanent funds and other purposes and the remaining legacies of $64,429.40 were undesignated. There was transferred to budget income $60,000.00, which represents approximately the average amount of legacies received during the past five years.

REPORT OF BUDGET SECRETARY of the AMERICAN BAPTIST FOREIGN MISSION SOCIETY Budget for 1945-1946 There were many uncertainties facing the Board in its 1945- 1946 budget studies which made it more difficult than usual to arrive at basic conclusions. Among them were the trend of infla­ tion in China, the time when missionary forces can re-enter Burma and the Philippines, the isolation of the South China Mission, the extent of war property damage, the continued rise in living costs both in the United States and abroad, and the possible termination of war in Europe and Asia. The 1945-1946 budget was authorized by the Board at its meet­ ing held March 12-13, 1945. Following the close of the fiscal year 1944-1945 and at the meetings of the Finance Committee and General Council of the Northern Baptist Convention May 21-23, 1945, the World Mission Crusade was approved. The financial revisions were of such importance that it was necessary for the American Baptist Foreign Mission Society to revise its budget for 1945-1946. The figures in this statement are based on the recommendations of the Finance Committee of the Northern Baptist Convention at the foregoing meeting.

Income The estimated income for 1945-1946 is $996,000 as compared with $1,006,900 for 1944-1945. The undesignated item in the budget is increased from $340,000 to $387,600. The designated

expectancy is reduced from $217,400 to $200,500. The total available for emergency needs from the recurring section of the postwar fund is considerably less than the amount allocated in 1944-1945 from the World Emergency Forward Fund.

Summary of Estimated Income Sources Outside Donations ...... $329,500.00 Donations: Undesignated ...... $387,600.00 Designated ...... 200,500.00 ----- 588,100.00 Emergency Needs from Postwar Fund...... 78,400.00

$996,000.00 Expenditures The total appropriation for 1945-1946, including the Contin­ gent Reserve, Provision for Conditional Designations, and pro­ vision for relief, is $1,022,336. The Board has continued to follow the policy of recent years and has set aside for relief purposes a little more than 15% of the $126,000 allocated to the Board in 1945-1946 from the recurring section of the post-war fund for war emergency needs.

Support of Missionaries The 1945-1946 budget includes an increase in the cost of living adjustment from 25% to 35% for Burma and British India; from 10% to 20% for Belgian Congo. China field salaries are calcu­ lated at the normal basal rate plus a 35% cost of living adjust­ ment, with an additional adjustment at current exchange to provide the China salary at Ccy. $61,800 monthly per adult, one-half and one-third per child according to age. The China cost of living index now stands at 129,000 compared to 1937.

New Appointees The budget item for new appointees will permit the appointment of only four new families in 1945-1946. However, the Board is relying on additional financial help from the Finance Committee for a number of new appointees who could not be cared for other­ wise. The Finance Committee has responded favorably to part of 94 ALONG KINGDOM HIGHWAYS

the request, and some of the more urgent staff needs will be met from this source. It is the Board’s purpose to continue to appoint new missionaries and wherever possible to provide for special training here in America to have them ready to sail to the field at the earliest opportunity. The challenge to seminary graduates to enter the chaplaincy, draft-status of non-seminary men, the demands of the govern­ ment upon doctors and nurses, and the inability of otherwise well-qualified young people to pass the medical requirements, are some of the obstacles with which we meet in our attempt to rein­ force our missionary staff. On the other hand, it is a source of the greatest encouragement to note the steadily increasing number of the younger age group who are definitely consecrating them­ selves to overseas Christian service. Therefore, the long future looks bright.

Support of Work The field requests have been substantially granted in most mis­ sions. Since the estimates were prepared months ago, there may be instances where even the increased appropriation will not have kept pace with mounting costs. The appropriations for Burma, Japan, and the Philippine Islands are continued as here­ tofore in the anticipation that it may be possible to reopen the work in some of these fields during the course of the new fiscal year. The Board will continue its policy to credit, at the end of the fiscal year, any unused balances in appropriations-in-gross on fields where on account of war developments it has been found impossible to use the funds to the reserve for postwar needs to be held in Designated Temporary Funds.

Land, Buildings, and Equipment The Board has included this new item of $10,000 in the budget realizing that there will be many demands for buildings and equipment in the post-war period. It is hoped that by making pro­ vision each year for this purpose, equipment may be kept up to a better standard than in the depression years. ALONG KINGDOM HIGHWAYS 95

Foreign Missions Conference and Co-operative Projects The reorganization of the area committees of the Foreign Missions Conference—the Committee on East Asia, the Africa Committee, and the India Committee— involves substantially in­ creased budgets. These committees are now planning for full-time secretaryships to give more attention to governmental and inter­ board relationships and to publicity.

Contingent Reserve The Contingent Reserve is $24,907.09. To enter the new year with such a small reserve for emergencies and contingencies is serious in the light of unforeseen developments and unexpected requests that may be made of the Board.

Unbalanced Budget The regular budget for 1945-1946 is out of balance by $26,336. There was reluctance on the part of the Officers’ Council and the Board to adopt an unbalanced budget. However, in view of the serious need of the work abroad and the necessity of maintaining the framework of the Board’s regular program for the post-war period, the budget wras approved. While it is impossible to make a complete forecast because of disturbed international relation­ ships, it is hoped that through a change in the financial situation in China, or by some other favorable development, sufficient sav­ ings can be made before the end of the year to close without a deficit. 96 ALONG KINGDOM HIGHWAYS

POST-WAR PROGRAM of the AMERICAN BAPTIST FOREIGN MISSION SOCIETY and the WOMAN’S AMERICAN BAPTIST FOREIGN MISSION SOCIETY The Annual Report for 1944 carried a supplement outlining in detail the minimum basic needs of the American Baptist Foreign Mission Society and the Woman’s American Baptist Foreign Mis­ sion Society for post-war relief, rehabilitation, and advance program needs. During the year representatives of the two Societies have held numerous conferences with denominational officials urging a post­ war fund adequate to meet the challenge of the new day. An enlarged meeting of the Post-War Planning Commission of the Northern Baptist Convention was held in Chicago, March 16-17, 1945. At that meeting, Mr. E. H. Rhoades, Budget Adviser, listed the primary askings of the various organizations which were summarized by Dr. Luther Wesley Smith of the Publication Society as follows:

Home Mission Societies ...... $3,117,000 Foreign Mission Societies ...... 7,062,000 The Board of Education ...... 1,800,000 The M & M Board ...... 2,700,000 State and Cities ...... 7,700,000 Church Extension ...... 900,000 World Relief ...... 1,200,000 Adjustment ...... 998,000 Cost ...... 1,740,000

$27,217,000

Dr. Smith explained that this figure represents an over-all, pri­ mary needs budget, over a six-year period. A finding committee of the Post-War Planning Commission meeting in March later reported as follows: ALONG KINGDOM HIGHWAYS 99

1. We recommend a sustained, substantial increase in the Uni­ fied Budget to include recurring needs. 2. We recommend a Restoration and Advance Fund of ap­ proximately $10,000,000 for non-recurring expenditures, to be raised through a special campaign and payable in an eighteen-month period, embracing three calendar years. 3. W e recommend that the Restoration and Advance Fund be objectified and personalized.

The Finance Committee and the General Council at its meetings held in Chicago, May 21-23, 1945, recommended a post-war fund of $14,000,000 to be called W ORLD MISSION CRUSADE. Of this amount $10,000,000 was allocated to non-recurring post­ war projects for all denominational agencies. In this non-recur­ ring total, $2,500,000 is set aside to cover requests of the ABFMS and WABFMS. $4,000,000 out of the total of $14,000,000 post­ war fund is allocated to recurring items over a two-year period; $2,400,000 for the year 1945-1946 and $1,600,000 for 1946-1947.

The primary minimum askings of the boards totaling $5,580,000 as submitted in the original program (see page 90 f— Annual Report 1944) have been expanded over a period of six years and are now entirely covered in the recurring and non-recurring sections of the post-war fund.

This committee will sponsor and promote the campaign throughout the territory of the Convention. It is expected that this committee will be an active working body. Dr. C. Oscar Johnson was appointed Chairman of the Committee of a Thousand. The Board of Education and Publication very generously released Dr. Luther Wesley Smith to serve as the Director of the Crusade. The Crusade is set for the period October 1, 1945 to April 30, 1947. The future policy of the Foreign Boards in relation to post-war projects will have to be developed in the light of the success attained in the World Mission Crusade. The Board is prepared to co-operate fully with Dr. Luther Smith, Dr. Johnson, and their committees to the end that the $14,000,000 goal will be raised while at the same time lifting the general level of denominational giving.

American Baptist Foreign Mission Society- New York, N. Y. We have examined the financial statements of the fund relating to Special Gift Agreements with Life Annuity Return of the American Baptist Foreign Mission Society for the year ended Deoember 31» 191+4, have reviewed the accounting- procedures em­ ployed and, without making a detailed audit of the transactions, have examined or tested accounting records pertaining to such Special Gift Agreements and other supporting evidence, by methods and to the extent we deemed appropriate. The investments in bonds, mortgages, and real estaxo (including mortgages with respect to properties held by the For­ eign Mission Really Corporation, the entire capital stock of which is owned by the society) are carried in the annexed state­ ment principally at cost. The market value of real estate and mortgages is not readily determinable and it is not therefore possible to state what amount of profit or loss, if any, nay be sustained on the disposal of these investments.

The reserve required under New York State Insurance Law is based upon a report submitted by an independent actuary. In our opinion, subject to the foregoing comments, the appended statement of assets, lia b ilities and surplus, and the related statement of changes in the assets set forth the position of the fund relating to Special Gift Agreements with Life Annuity Return at- Deoember 31, 1944 and its fisca l operations for the year then ended.

We have examined the financial statements of the WOMAN'S AMERICAN BAPTIST FOREIGN MISSION SOCIETY for the fiscal year ended April 30, 1945, have reviewed the accounting procedures of the Society and, without making a detailed audit of the transactions, have ex­ amined or tested accounting records of the Society kept at its home office in New York, and other supporting evidence, by methods and to the extent we deemed appropriate.

The investments in bonds and stocks are carried in the annexed balance sheet principally at cost or amounts assigned thereto at date of gift to the Society. No provision has been made for de­ preciation of plant property in the United States.

The major portion of the foreign field appropriations is disbursed through mission treasurers in the field who make quarterly reports to the Society*s home office except in those cases where reports cannot be submitted as a result of war conditions. We made a test review of the most recent available repforts to establish the receipt by mission treasurers of the appropriation remittances to them as shown In the accounts at New York (see Note C to balance sheet), but we did not examine the accounts kept by the mission treasurers in the foreign field. In our opinion, based upon such examination and subject to the foregoing comments and to the uncertainties mentioned in Note C to the balance sheet, the appended balance sheet, statements of income and budget appropriations, surplus, and changes In funds set forth the position of the Society at April 30, 1945, and its fiscal operations for the year then -«pdedO

Note. The Bengal-Orissa Mission was begun in 1836 at Cuttack, Orissa, in connec­ tion with the English Baptist Mission. Sambalpur, the first station, was opened in 1837, but on account of its unhealthfulness, the work was transferred in 1838 to Balasore, and this became the first permanent station of the Free Baptist Mission. Upon the union of the Baptist and the Free Baptist denominations in October, 1911, the admin­ istrative oversight of the Bengal-Orissa field and foreign mission funds of the General Conference of Free Baptists was transferred to the American Baptist Foreign Mission Society. Note a. W ork was begun temporarily at Midnapore in 1844, permanently in 1863. 254 ALONG KINGDOM HIGHWAYS

EUROPE

The American Baptist Foreign Mission Society maintains co-operative relationships with autonomous Baptist organizations in nine countries in Europe as follows: Belgium, Czechoslovakia, Denmark, Estonia, France, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway, and Poland; this arrangement having been made in accordance with decisions of the General Baptist Convention in London in July, 1920. Baptist work in Russia, too, is the special concern of Northern Baptists, but for years no reports have been available. With the European phase of the war drawing to an end, communications have been re-established with France and Sweden. Dr. Bell, our European representative, arrived in England in February, 1945, and crossed into France in May. Special Representative for Europe: Rev. E. A. Bell, D.D.
