ARTICLE VIII

A m e n d m e n t s These by-laws may be amended by a two-thirds vote of the members present and voting at any annual meeting of the Society, provided written notice of the proposed amendment shall have been given at the preceding annual meeting of the Society, or such amendment shall be recommended by the Board of Managers.

Resolution Governing Procedure in a Vote by States Resolved, Whenever a vote by States is ordered, as provided in the by-laws, either of two undebatable motions shall be in order: (1) That the debate now close, that the Society recess for fifteen minutes to allow the delegates from the territory of each State Convention to meet in their designated places on the floor of the Society to take the vote, and that at the close of the recess the vote be reported to the Secretary, recorded, and announced, or (2) That the vote by States be reported, recorded, and announced at a certain hour at some future session of the Society, that the delegates from the territory of each State Convention meet at the close of this session of the Society, in their designated 10 AMERICAN BAPTIST FOREIGN MISSION SOCIETY

places on the floor, and either then and there take their votes, or provide for further discussion within the delegations at their convenience at some other time and place, before the hour o f reporting the vote as above provided. In case the second o f these motions should prevail, debate on the main question may continue at the pleasure of the Society, but a motion to close the debate shall be in order at any time. W hen the vote by States has been reported, recorded, and announced, the motion to concur, provided for in the by-laws, shall follow immediately without the intervention of any other business and without discussion. PREFACE

TN the early part of the nineteenth century the position of Baptists in America was not one of great prominence. With little organization, they were widely scattered and without facilities for easy communication among themselves. The formation of the English Baptist Missionary Society, which had taken place in 1792, and the early efforts of the pioneer missionaries in India had, however, aroused a deep interest in this country, so that con­ siderable money was raised and sent to their aid. The interest thus awak­ ened and fostered was accentuated also by the reading of letters from Dr. William Carey, which appeared from time to time in the Massachusetts Baptist Missionary Magazine. When early in 1812 a company of five young men was set apart for service in foreign lands, and sailed from our shores, a deep impression was made upon Baptists, although the volunteers were of another denomination.

One of these young men, Adoniram Judson, read his New Testament with great thoroughness during his voyage to India, and as a result 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 So­ ciety for the support of missions in these parts, I should be ready to consider myself their missionary.” This challenge profoundly stirred the Baptists, so that they began at once to make plans to undertake this 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 being the organization 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. The delegates assembled on May 18, a fact which has led to the erroneous statement frequently made that the Convention was organized on that date.

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 coun­ try. In 1845 the Southern Baptists withdrew because of a difference of opinion growing out of the slavery question, and in 1846 the name of the Society was changed to The American Baptist Missionary Union. The name was again altered in 1910, becoming American Baptist Foreign Mission Society. The headquarters were established at Boston, Mass., in 1826, and in 1920 were removed to New York. At the annual meeting in 1908, the Society became a co-operating society of the Northern Baptist Convention.

THE GENERAL REVIEW OF THE YEAR 1939-1940

THE GENERAL REVIEW OF THE YEAR 1939-1940

This 126th annual report of the Board of Managers of the American Baptist Foreign Mission Society is written under the dark shadow of a war which threatens to become another general conflict. A year ago this report stated, “the war clouds hang low.” The hope that the crisis would pass did not materialize. On September 1, 1939, German troops marched into Poland to emerge as conquerors some eighteen days later. On this tragic day for the world, the writer of these lines was traveling by automobile from western New York to New Jersey, and all day long the historic events leading to armed conflict were unfolded by com­ petent observers and relayed over great radio networks to be picked out of the air by the turn of a dial on a receiving set. The fact that one could be in an automobile traveling at fifty miles an hour over a beautifully smooth highway, listening to history in the making from first one European capital and then another is a testimony to the mechanical advance of the twenty years of armistice. If only the moral and spiritual progress could have been as great!

THE WORLD AT WAR As was to be expected, on September 3, 1939, France and Great Britain declared war on Germany. Unable to act quickly enough to aid Poland, that hapless land, the center of many European quarrels, was divided between Russia and Germany. Later in the fall Russia made military demands for bases of operation in the Baltic countries— Latvia, Estonia and Lithuania. These were conceded and war in this sector was temporarily averted. On October 14 Soviet Russia made demands on Finland which were refused, and on November 30 the invasion began. After a heroic defense during the winter months Finland agreed to peace terms— but not until after losing at least 15,000 of her young manhood— which leaves her future independence uncertain. At present the moves by both sides in the conflict are for control of the Balkans 15 16 AMERICAN BAPTIST FOREIGN MISSION- SOCIETY

and the Scandinavian countries and the end of conflict cannot be foreseen. For China and Japan the “ incident” is nearly three years old, and we stand aghast at the thought of the four to five million dead left in its wake, the ruined cities and the tens of millions who are refugees or cripples. Surely it is a time for us to renew faith in God and to reconsecrate ourselves to the cause of his Son and of his glorious Kingdom. It is a time for us to pray humbly for clearness of vision and for guidance day by day that we may be enabled to make right choices, take right attitudes and be faithful to our commission as disciples and advocates of the Prince of Peace.

EFFECTS OF WAR ON WORK OF BOARD The widespread character of the international disturbance has had serious effects upon the work of the Board. Mail is censored and subject to delay. Many last-minute readjustments of sailings have been necessary and passage costs have risen. Travel of missionaries in certain countries has been restricted, income taxes on salaries have been increased, and the value of Asiatic cur­ rencies has depreciated sharply in terms of United States dollars with consequent mounting costs on the field. In some areas im­ ported articles such as medical supplies are almost prohibitive in cost. Starvation has stalked in China. Many church members have lost homes or relatives in bombing raids. Christian nationals have frequently found themselves in conflict with militaristic opinion. Military training programs have taken time in the Chris­ tian schools needed for other purposes. With the rapid spreading of areas of conflict no one can be bold enough to forecast what is ahead.

ATTITUDES TOWARD WAR The advent of war was not marked by the popular enthusiasm of its declaration twenty-five years ago. Each belligerent has painstakingly tried to justify its procedures in the eyes of the world. There has been no crusading spirit on the part of the rank and file of people. The awfulness of modern warfare, with the appalling destruction which strikes innocent bystander as well as warrior, is too well realized. GENERAL REVIEW OF THE YEAR 17

In the United States there is first of all an intense desire to keep this country out of armed participation. Americans seem much more aware of the true nature and genesis of wars than in 1914. There is a deep sense of futility of war, and of the degradation of human personality which accompanies it. Christians as a group have been growing increasingly restive at American economic participation in war, and have been hoping that ways might be found to bring it to an end. A small but highly intelligent and informed minority hesitates to advocate economic sanctions lest they lead to war.

THE EUROPEAN WAR AND SELF-GOVERNMENT IN IN D IA Self-government in India had been making forward strides for two years when the war broke in Europe. In 1937 the new con­ stitution came into effect. The Congress Party won the elections in eight of the eleven provinces. The All-India Congress Com­ mittee drew up a highly commendable program in which British officials could, and in large part did, heartily co-operate. The chief ground of difference was Congress’ advocacy of, and British skepticism about, prohibition. The main hindrance to a more marked advance was finance. Then Great Britain declared war. The Viceroy of India im­ mediately placed India and its army on the side of the Allies. Gandhi stated Indian sympathy for Britain in her conflict with Germany, and indicated a willingness to confer with the Viceroy. An extremist section of the Congress Party, under Subhas C. Bose, has declared for complete independence and no compromise. A Moslem group at the other extreme, under Ali Jinnah’s leader­ ship, has declared its complete loyalty to Great Britain, and from the Moslems large numbers of soldiers have left India for the various “ fronts.” The Indian States have with unanimity offered their support. Since these States are, in general, notorious for their ruthless repression of popular rule, their support of a fight for democracy in Europe has drawn ironic comment from the Indian Congress Party. The Congress Party has from the begin­ ning contended that the “ palace nominees” of the Indian States could never form a democratic All-India Federation with the popu­ larly elected representatives of the provinces of British India. 18 AMERICAN BAPTIST FOREIGN MISSION SOCIETY

The all-too-frequent Hindu-Moslem riots are another of India’s problems, though their significance is often exaggerated. Com­ munal understanding must be fostered, and any hint of encour­ agement to communal differences must be removed. Since it is clear that democracy is built on principles best propounded by the Christian church, conditions which cause concern in India today only intensify the call to Christian missions.

THE SINO-JAPANESE CONFLICT The third year of this struggle may be said to have been a year of stalemate, of blockade and attrition. No major military action took place. Japanese efforts were of four main types: ( a) the extension of the blockade to the South China coast, including Nanning in Kwangsi; (b) constant air raids into all parts of Free China; (c) endeavors at pacification and exploitation of “penetrated”— a more accurate term than “occupied”— China; ( d) attempts to operate through puppet governments. The strain is telling severely on both countries. Japanese finances are in a perilous state. Uncontrollable inflation threatens. Shortage in food, coal, electric power and man power, as well as in many materials, is acute. The people are restive, though fully committed to the government’s plans. The uncertainty in commercial relations with the United States, on whose trade Japan is more than ever dependent, is a source of concern. Sub­ stantial success in the effort to subjugate and exploit China still seems a long way off. China is suffering even more. In the penetrated zone industry and trade are stagnant and banditry rife: North China has had the most disastrous floods in her history, and, when 1940 opened, it is neliably -estimated that four million there faced imminent starvation. Formerly prosperous areas in Central and South China also feel the pinch of hunger. In Free China food is more abundant, but prices have soared beyond the reach of multitudes. A malignant form of malaria, probably coming from the deep valleys of western Yunnan where it has long been known to be endemic, has swept parts of the country. With communications to the outside world steadily becoming more difficult, it is more and more of a problem to supply the Chinese armies. China’s three roads to the outer world pass through French, British and GENERAL REVIEW OF THE YEAR 19

Russian territory, and so she has become in a real sense a hostage to the developments in Europe. Both countries need peace desperately, but there is now little prospect of Japanese determination weakening or Chinese resis­ tance breaking. Developments in Europe may unexpectedly resolve the deadlock, but failing this, it would seem that a pro­ longed period of struggle is still ahead.

THE CHINA MISSIONS The conflict has profoundly influenced the program in these missions. The line between Free and “penetrated” China cuts across two of them, East and South China. Five stations are in “penetrated” China—•Huchow, Hangchow, Nanking, Swatow and Chaochowfu. The work in the International Settlement in Shanghai is surrounded by the Japanese. Only two stations in Free China have escaped bombing raids— Hopo and Yachow. With the exception of the University of Shanghai property losses have not been heavy. The Shanghai North Church is a total loss and there has been some damage to a few country churches in Chekiang and near Swatow, and to the Baptist part of the campus of West China Union University. It is reported with gratitude that no worker, missionary or Chinese colleague, has been in­ jured, and only a few church members have lost their lives. No regular, standard school work is being carried on in “pene­ trated” China. Wayland Academy, the Tinghai Middle School (Hangchow), and the University of Shanghai go forward in the Shanghai Settlement, where they have been recently joined by the Shaohing Middle School from a threatened part of Free China. Nanking University continues in Chengtu. In Free China the middle schools generally, and many of the primary schools, have removed from the cities to makeshift quarters in near-by country places which are not in such danger of air attack; Munroe Academy (Suifu) and the Yachow Middle School, both originally located just outside the cities, and the Kaying Academy are exceptions. A number of schools have more than the normal quota of students. The nine hospitals of the Society, all in Free China, have kept their doors open day and night, and have rendered an outstand­ ing and much appreciated service. The volume of their work 20 AMERICAN BAPTIST FOREIGN MISSION SOCIETY

has been greatly increased, and at times they have furnished the only dependable medical service available in their localities. To a large degree the evangelistic work has been maintained, though under great difficulties, in “penetrated” China and the threatened areas. Travel is expensive and it has not been possible for large groups to get together. All agree that the gospel meets with a more cordial response, when presented, than ever before in the history of the work in China.

New Opportunities for Christian W ork in China Obviously the conflict has resulted in many losses, obstacles and disruptions in the program of Christian work in China. But there is another side to the picture which may be briefly sum­ marized. The disaster has brought new opportunities for relief, medical service, refugee work and other deeds of love and mercy, opportunities which have been grasped eagerly and well used. The Christian group has found a fellowship in suffering. Co­ operation between various denominational groups and ventures in presenting a united Christian approach has developed. There has been a diffusion of Christian leadership from the coastline, where Christianity had its strongest hold and its greatest re­ sources, into China’s vast and conservative hinterland, hitherto much neglected. The influence of Christians in government and national affairs has been notable. The net result has been that Christianity today faces perhaps its greatest opportunity in the long history of Christian missions in China.

THE ASSOCIATED BOARDS FOR CHRISTIAN COLLEGES IN CH IN A This organization is an association in the United States of the boards of twelve Christian colleges in China, in four of which — Shanghai, Nanking, Ginling and West China Union— Northern Baptists co-operate. In the present emergency this Board has done yeoman work in raising a special fund for the assistance of all these colleges. For the year ended June 20, 1939, the Asso­ ciated Boards raised $300,017 for this purpose, and for the current year an effort is being made to raise $250,000. A dinner meeting in New York City on January 25 was attended by more than five hundred guests. Dr. Hu Shih, the Chinese Ambassador GENERAL REVIEW OF THE YEAR 21

to the United States, made a notable address in which he gave an impressive testimony to the value of the contribution the colleges have made to China’s life.

RELIEF PROJECTS Many relief appeals of a non-denominational or interdenomi­ national character have been initiated and the churches have been uncertain as to where money for these purposes should be sent for most effective use. At the meeting of the General Council held in Chicago, April 3 and 4, 1940, a committee consisting of nine members representing the organizational life of Northern Baptists was appointed. It is planned that this committee will study the relief appeals to be made to Northern Baptists, act as receiving and disbursing agents for funds forwarded and review relief needs in those areas where Baptists have work. We have reason to be gratified that the Christian fellowship has stood the strain of war relatively successfully. Following the Madras Conference, the International Missionary Council has been active in sustaining that fellowship, and in aiding various German, French and other war-distressed missions in the effort to keep their work going. The National Christian Council of India has stepped into this new breach in a particularly fine fashion. We are sure that Baptists everywhere will lose no oppor­ tunity that may come to them to demonstrate in a practical way the reality of this fellowship. A few contributions continue to trickle in for the Joint China Emergency Fund of the two Societies covered in the 1938 annual report bringing the total received to date to nearly $70,000. This fund has been very carefully used, and for more than two years it has enabled us to meet the most pressing emergency needs. Twenty per cent has gone to furnish relief work among destitute Chinese generally. It has provided emergency missionary rent and travel and a small addition to missionary salaries in East China. Grants have been made to schools and hospitals to enable them to maintain their work. Assistance given to Chinese workers has mitigated somewhat the disastrous rise in the cost of living for them. Repairs have also been made to protect the plant of the University of Shanghai from weather damage, to enable missionaries to resume residence there, and to restore 22 AMERICAN BAPTIST FOREIGN MISSION SOCIETY

some of the damage done by bombing on the West China Uni­ versity campus. A modest balance is left in this fund which will hardly suffice for the needs of the year ahead.

The Church Committee for China Relief The need for relief work in China has grown by leaps and bounds. Especially is this true in “ penetrated” China, where floods (in part war-caused), business stagnation, food shortage and banditry have been serious factors. In Free China the blockade has resulted in high prices, drug famines and general dislocation of economic processes. In the winter, thousands of dead bodies were picked up off the streets of Shanghai. Millions face starvation in the most stupendous human disaster in our times. The Christians of America are co-operating to raise funds through the Church Committee for China Relief (105 East Twenty-second Street, New York City), which is sponsored by the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America, the Foreign Missions Conference of North America, and most of the major denominations. This committee has been in the field for nearly two years. The response to its appeal has been small when the resources of Protestant Christians are considered; nevertheless it has sent to China nearly a half million dollars. Favorable exchange and careful administration have made this money go a long way. In Shanghai the money is allocated by the American Advisory Committee, which is composed of Amer­ ican missionaries and businessmen, with Rev. L. C. Hylbert, missionary of this Society, acting as its secretary. It is dis­ bursed almost exclusively through the more than two hundred Protestant and Catholic mission stations throughout the land. The funds are granted on the basis of need, without sectarian discrimination of any kind.

RESULTS OF THE MADRAS CONFERENCE Reports indicate that the Madras meeting of the International Missionary Council was one of God’s great creative acts in our day. Streams of power were released and are flowing in help­ fulness to all parts of the world. Following the Post-Madras Conferences in twenty-five Amer­ ican cities in the winter of 1939, Madras themes were caught up GENERAL REVIEW OF THE YEAR 23 in various church gatherings and summer assemblies. The North­ ern Baptist Convention made a place on its always crowded program for four brief addresses and an afternoon discussion period. Madras delegates are still in demand as speakers to groups who want first-hand and intimate details of the conference. Beyond a doubt, Madras has helped the church in all lands to rediscover its distinctively Christian message, to see the supreme significance of its world mission, and to maintain its supra­ national, supra-social, supra-political character, and to be what it is ever meant to be— the Church of the Living God.

FOREIGN MISSIONS CONFERENCE OF NORTH AMERICA Last year, following the Madras Conference, a new plan was adopted for holding the Foreign Missions Conference. For many years its annual meeting has taken place early in January. It was manifestly impossible to follow the usual course in 1939 when so many of the members of the Conference were abroad attend­ ing the gathering at Madras and could not possibly return for the January date. It was determined to hold the Conference on the campus of Swarthmore College, June 9-16, 1939, and plans were made for a large and representative meeting. The time was extended to a full week to enable careful consideration of the many major leads furnished by Madras. It proved to be a gathering of ex­ traordinary importance. The meetings were conducted in seminar form and, in the main, were calculated to develop plans for the implementation of the Madras findings so far as the work of the North American societies is concerned.

Reorganization of Committee of Reference and Counsel The Committee of Reference and Counsel reported at Swarth­ more an important development through which a number of previously subsidiary movements were brought into the structure of the Foreign Missions Conference. Upon vote of the Confer­ ence these initiatives were incorporated in the organization of Reference and Counsel as Representative Committees, each having full autonomy but coming under the general leadership of the Committee of Reference and Counsel. The Representative Com­ mittees as thus constituted are: Africa (including Christian Liter­ 24 AMERICAN BAPTIST FOREIGN MISSION SOCIETY

ature for Africa), East Asia, India, Philippines, Co-operation in Latin America, Promotion of Interest, Rural Missions, Women’s Work, Christian Medical Council for Overseas Work, Associated Mission Medical Office. The magnitude and far- reaching character of the interests involved led to the proposal that a co-ordinating leader should be sought who would serve as permanent chairman of the enlarged Secretarial Council. For the present year, pending the appointment of the permanent chair­ man, Home Secretary P. H. J. Lerrigo was asked by the Foreign Missions Conference to serve as Chairman of the Secretarial Council. With the approval of the Chairman of the Board, Dr. A. L. Miller, he has been giving a considerable part of his time to this service during the past year. One of the regional committees functioning under the auspices of the Foreign Missions Conference is that on East Asia. This committee was called into being on the outbreak of the Sino- Japanese conflict by the necessity for some instrument for inter­ change of opinion and information, and for the shaping of com­ mon policies. It has continued very active work in this field, to the profit of all. The Committee on East Asia was invited to prepare a study memorandum on the conflict for presentation to the Conference of the Churches on the International Situa­ tion held in Philadelphia in February, 1940, under the auspices of the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America. This was done and the pertinent part of the memorandum was incorporated in the findings of that Conference. Another regional committee on the Philippines has been study­ ing the recommendations of the Federation of Evangelical Churches of the Islands, in preparation for the Conference on Christian W ork in the Islands in Washington, D. C., April 9-14.

Future Plans of the Foreign Missions Conference The Conference authorized the appointment of a Committee on Future Plans to bring the work of the Conference to the atten­ tion of the constituent missions in a more comprehensive way in order to secure the modest increase in support required. The outcome of the careful deliberations at Swarthmore enables the missions to look forward to greater achievement on all fields as they come into closer fellowship and prepare jointly to put into GENERAL REVIEW OF THE YEAR 25

effect the Madras recommendations. The Committee on Future Plans is headed by Miss Mabel Emerson, Secretary of the Amer­ ican Board. Dr. Emory Ross, Secretary of the American Mission to Lepers, has been requested to render special service in carry­ ing out its activities. The Committee on Future Plans presented, on March 16, 1940, a special world-wide radio broadcast on foreign missions with addresses by the President of the United States and Queen Wilhelmina of Holland. The chief gathering, known as the Christian Foreign Service Convocation, held at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, New York City, was attended by a thousand leading citizens of New York and vicinity. In addition to the addresses already referred to, a mes­ sage from Dr. J. R. Mott, Chairman of the International Mission­ ary Council, was read by Dr. L. B. Moss, Secretary of the Foreign Missions Conference of North America. His Excellency, Count Robert van der Straten-Ponthoz, Ambassador Extraordi­ nary and Plenipotentiary of Belgium to the United States, Dr. C. R. Watson, President of the American University at Cairo, and Dr. C. T. Leber, Chairman of the Committee of Reference and Counsel, made brief presentations. Dr. Emory Ross, General Secretary of the American Mission to Lepers, acted as toast­ master. The program was carried by the leading networks, and was listened to by special gatherings in many of the large cities. The broadcast was received very favorably by the evangelical constituency throughout the country, and was widely commented upon in the press as an important contribution to the interests of world peace.

COUNCIL ON CHRISTIAN EDUCATION Important developments have taken place in connection with the work of the Council on Christian Education. In accordance with the plan made last year a Youth Conference was called by the Council for the purpose of forming a national youth organiza­ tion, representative of the various phases of young people’s work and all the young people in the denomination. The conference met on the campus of Denison University, December 27-30, 1939, and 137 delegates from State Convention areas in the 26 AMERICAN BAPTIST FOREIGN MISSION SOCIETY

Northern Baptist Convention attended. The delegates, including sixty-seven young men and seventy young women, ranged in age from seventeen to twenty-seven. Of these, twenty-two had gradu­ ated or were still studying in high school, sixty-seven were in college, and forty-seven had graduated from college. As observers and counselors twenty-eight persons representing seventeen agencies and groups in the Northern Baptist Convention met with the delegates. The work of the conference was carried on by six sub-committees, each of which was assigned a special phase of the total task. The findings were brought to plenary sessions and finally issued in complete form to the Council on Christian Education which met on January 3 and 4, 1940, to consider it. The council voted to receive the report with hearty appreciation and expressed its belief that the Northern Baptist Convention should move in the direction of the proposals made. The council authorized its Executive Committee, supplemented by Rev. F. R. Baker and Miss Dorothy A. Stevens, Secretary of the Depart­ ment of Missionary Education, to make a study of ways and means for carrying out the proposals. The Granville conference ap­ pointed a Continuation Committee to bring the report to the attention and study of the constituent groups of young people throughout the country. It is anticipated that these committees, after receiving such suggestions for modification as may be made, will report again to the Council on Christian Education which will then restudy the Youth Report together with the proposals for amendment which have been submitted, finally determining upon a plan for submission to the Northern Baptist Convention. The Board has a large interest in the developments in this Council because of the relationship which it will bear to missionary edu­ cation.

COUNCIL ON FINANCE AND PROMOTION The question of a successor for Dr. W. H. Bowler, who served the denomination so long and faithfully as promotional leader, was a matter of grave concern to the representatives of the co­ operating organizations. A special committee of the Council on Finance and Promotion was given the task of seeking the right person to assume this difficult and important task. The unanimous GENERAL REVIEW OF THE YEAR 27 choice of the committee fell upon Rev. Earl F. Adams, D.D. He was elected at the annual meeting of the Council on Finance and Promotion held in connection with the Convention at Los Angeles, and was presented to the Convention at one of the evening sessions when he was accorded a warm reception and assured of hearty support. Dr. Adams is still a young man, is in vigorous health and has shown qualities of leadership. His highly successful pastorate at the Delaware Avenue Church, Buffalo, N. Y., dates from 1931. His preparation for the ministry included studies at Denison Uni­ versity; Biblical Seminary, New York; Rochester Theological Seminary, and the Divinity School of the University of Chicago. In the autumn of 1939 Hillsdale College conferred upon him the degree of Doctor of Divinity.

THE CONVOCATIONS A chief item in the promotional plans for the past year has been more than one hundred all-day Convocations at important denominational centers. The attendance at these meetings was close to 100,000, and the interest manifested was greater than in any series of conferences within recent years. The theme of the Convocations, “The Mission of the Church in a Distressed World,” fitting so closely the disturbed world situation, has challenged the minds and hearts of Northern Baptists. Foreign Secretary J. C. Robbins and Associate Secretary J. R. Wilson have represented the Society in the conduct of this series of meetings. The reports indicate a genuine evangelistic awakening, a new spirit of devotion and a real determination to support the world-wide outreach of the denomination. The meetings have given a valuable opportunity for the constituency in all parts of the country to become acquainted with the new Director of Promotion, Dr. E. F. Adams, who served as leader of one of the teams. Wherever he goes the churches are impressed with his intelligent understanding of the situation and the deep devo­ tion with which he has begun his difficult work.

SEMINARS FOR THEOLOGICAL STUDENTS During the year the Society has co-operated in sponsoring three seminars for theological students. Two of these were held in 28 AMERICAN BAPTIST FOREIGN MISSION SOCIETY

December— one in New York and one in Chicago. The third was held over the week-end of March 29—April 1, in New York. Practically all (over two hundred) of the senior students of eleven Baptist theological seminaries and Bible training schools from Massachusetts to Kansas were enrolled in one or another of the three gatherings. In each seminar, secretaries and missionary leaders of the various co-operating agencies presented in turn a full-orbed picture of the organizational set-up and work of their respective societies. Unhurried question periods followed each presentation, with the result that the students who attended went away with a far better understanding of the work and needs of Northern Baptists than the average pastor has even after years of service. The American Baptist Publication Society planned the programs most carefully and cared for the organizational details. Rev. E. H. Clayton, of China; Rev. L. A. Brown, of Belgian Congo; Foreign Secretary J. W. Decker and Associate Secretary J. R. Wilson represented the Foreign Society.

TRAGIC STAFF SITUATION ON THE FOREIGN FIELD Few years in the recent history of the Burma Mission have been so marked by death among members of the active mission staff. The tragic loss of two outstanding missionaries— Rev. J. H. Cope, worker among the Chins, and Mr. H. W- Smith, Super­ intendent of the Mission Press and Mission Secretary— was re­ ported in the annual reports of 1938 and 1939. Rev. G. D. Josif, Educational Adviser for the Mission and Superintendent of the Cushing and Baptist English High Schools in Rangoon, was chosen Mr. Smith’s successor as Mission Secretary. There was no one to relieve him of his other tasks and he endeavored to carry them all. It quickly proved too much and he, too, was sud­ denly taken in March, 1940. Equally severe in the loss to the Mission has been the going of two of her noblest women, Miss Grace A. Maine of the Woman’s Society and Mrs. B. C. Case. With impending retirements, the evangelistic staff in the Burmese work of the Mission is now so reduced as to be entirely with­ drawn from the great area from Rangoon to Mandalay. Though the Karens have asked for and could profit greatly by missionary GENERAL REVIEW OF THE YEAR 29 counsel and assistance, the Mission staff working among them has suffered disastrous reductions. In China the picture is much the same. The physical and nervous strain on the missionary staff has been increased by the war. The opening of the Sino-Japanese conflict found the mis­ sionary staff badly depleted, and lack of resources has made it impossible to strengthen it. Since 1932, only five new appointees (three units) have been sent to China. Meantime, retirements and health withdrawals have continued. There is grave danger that the unprecedented strain will necessitate further withdrawals, and that the staff situation, already critical, will become almost impossible. While the need for staff reinforcement on fields other than Burma, India and China is not quite so alarming, it is such as to give grave concern.

EMISSARIES OF LIFE Today, when so many nations are sacrificing their best on the altar of war, Christians of America have the high privilege of giving their finest as emissaries of life— ambassadors of Christ to the needy places of the world. In 1939-1940, four fine young couples went out from America under the American Baptist Foreign Mission Society. Rev. and Mrs. Franklin O. Nelson were designated to the responsive and growing work among the Northern Chins of Burma to fill the place left vacant by the sudden death of Rev. J. H. Cope. The church of which Dr. Cope was a member, and which had sup­ ported him throughout his missionary life, asked the privilege of supporting his successor. Rev. and Mrs. Leonard A. Crain went to the Mission Press in Rangoon, whose superintendent, Mr. H. W. Smith, overloaded with duties there and as Mission Secretary, was called to his heavenly home a year ago. Mr. and Mrs. Stephen J. Goddard sailed for China, there to continue the fine tradition of the Dean-Goddard family that has now given nearly 400 years of Baptist foreign mission service. Mr. and Mrs. C. R. Horton sailed to take up work at Pyinmana Agricultural School as missionaries. Their salary, passage, and all other ex­ penses are met by the Government of Burma, that the helpful ministry of that school might be extended to the Shans and 30 AMERICAN BAPTIST FOREIGN MISSION SOCIETY

Kachins of Burma’s hills. The direction of their activities will be under the control of the Burma Mission and the Board. But there are only four families when forty-six are urgently needed. To list but a few: in West China, the new “ New China” calls for a doctor and an evangelist; East China has still to receive the successor to Dr. J. W. Decker in the work at Ningpo; a physician is needed and another teacher should be appointed for the University of Shanghai; of the missionaries now in Bengal-Orissa, the latest recruit was appointed in 1928, twelve years ago; in South India, Dr. A. G. Boggs carries on alone at the great Clough Memorial Hospital, and Dr. J. S. Car­ man wonders who will care for the Hanumakonda medical work during his approaching furlough; in Assam, one young mis­ sionary is trying to carry the work of two and a half great mission stations; in Burma, there is an imperative need for a replace­ ment for Rev. G. D. Josif, the circumstances of whose death are covered in the preceding paragraphs; South China, Japan, the Philippines and Africa all should have immediate missionary re­ inforcement. Men are needed who see “ the field as the world.” But how shall they go except they be sent? And how shall they be sent unless our Baptist churches recognize their responsibility and provide the means ?

BUDGET FOR THE CURRENT YEAR There has been only one major change in the authorized budget for the current year (1939-1940). Originally the spending base was set at $825,000, a figure $60,000 below 1938-1939. The cuts instituted worked such hardship on the missions that when the receipts for the year 1938-1939 rose somewhat above the earlier anticipations it was voted by the Board at the Los Angeles meet­ ing to add $12,500 to the spending figure, making the total $837,500. All missions shared in this addition, and it saved work at many points. Other current budget adjustments will be cov­ ered in the Financial Review of the Year.

BUDGET AUTHORIZED FOR 1940-1941 The total estimate of income for 1940-1941 is slightly above the current year, or $895,610, as compared with $891,320 in 1939-1940. It is expected that non-donation sources will yield GENERAL REVIEW OF THE YEAR 31 a figure equal to this year, or $385,000. The income from dona­ tion sources shows an expectancy of $510,610 as compared with $506,320 for the current year. In accordance with the usual procedure, the estimate of $510,610 is based on the preliminary announcement by the Finance Committee of the Northern Baptist Convention of the Society’s share in the anticipated receipts from churches and individuals. However, this total will not be available unless the entire unified budget goal for the year is achieved. In other words, the donation estimate of $510,610 is substan­ tially higher than the amount of the current year’s receipts. On the expenditure side, the experience of the current year has indicated clearly that a spending figure of less than $837,500 would bring genuine disaster to many phases of the work already seriously affected by the reductions in the current year’s budget. The Board finally voted to maintain this figure even though major uncertainties had to be faced. Some of these, such as the effects of war, rising price trends and possible fluctuations in exchange are treated under separate paragraphs. Although a substantial reduction on the debt, was made at the close of 1938-1939, the Board believes that it must be completely liquidated as rapidly as possible. At this writing the accumulated deficit stands at approx­ imately $141,000 with no assurance that this year’s receipts will permit a further reduction. The spending budget of $837,500 is therefore adopted in a spirit of hope and faith. The amount provided in 1940-1941 to give adequate retiring allowances to those who have rendered faithful service has been increased by $7,471.40 over 1939-1940, and has reached a total of $114,232.18, or 13.64 per cent of the total spending budget. During the current year the exchange in Japan, China and India has been depreciated in terms of the United States dollar. Since work and care of property items are appropriated in local currencies, the Board has decided to keep the United States dollar amounts the same for 1940-1941 as for 1939-1940 and to give the field the advantage of this increased amount of local cur­ rency. This is in contrast to the current year in which the dollar savings were used to help absorb the drastic cuts. The reasons for this 1940-1941 policy are, briefly: 1. The disastrous results of this year’s cuts on the work appro­ priations. 32 AMERICAN BAPTIST FOREIGN A1ISSI0N SOCIETY

2. The rising costs that accompany currency depreciation. 3. The depletion of field and property reserves during the cur­ rent year. 4. The need for a special strengthening of certain phases and aspects of the work. This procedure has resulted in substantial increases in local currency appropriations for India, Burma, China and Japan. In the Belgian Congo and the Philippine Islands, where there have been rising prices but no exchange advantage, a five per cent increase in appropriations in gross has been distributed over the most urgent requests. The estimate for home expenditures is $9,604.08 below the actual for 1938-1939 and this is in keeping with the Board policy to hold these items to a minimum.

FURTHER APPEAL TO THE FINANCE COMMITTEE OF THE NORTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION The Board has continued to press with the Finance Committee of the Northern Baptist Convention its conviction that in view of the world situation and the need of its work abroad the Society should have a larger participation in the receipts of the unified budget. Mr. Rhoades, Adviser of the Budget Research Committee of the Northern Baptist Convention, gave the material presented sympathetic consideration, and afforded the representa­ tives of the Society an opportunity to state the case again before the Finance Committee and the Budget Research Committee at the December meeting of the Council on Finance and Promo­ tion. When the Finance Committee of the Convention presented its tentative budget in a later session, it proposed that the Society be included for an increase above the average receipts of the last two years. It will not be known whether this increase is to be final until after the meeting of the Convention in Atlantic City, May 21-26.

FINANCIAL REVIEW OF THE YEAR With the Northern Baptist Convention meeting the latter part of May and the final distribution of unified budget receipts by the Council on Finance and Promotion scheduled for May 9, it is GENERAL REVIEW OF THE YEAR 33 obviously impossible in the short time intervening to prepare the Treasurer’s Report for presentation to the Convention. The Financial Review of the Year and the Treasurer’s report will therefore appear in the final edition of the Annual Report and will be available upon request.

BOARD OF MANAGERS The Executive Committee of the Board met at Los Angeles, California, in connection with the Northern Baptist Convention, June 20-25, 1939. The organization meeting was held in New York, September 25-26 and the following officers were elected: Chairman, Dr. A. L. Miller, of Boston, Massachusetts; Vice- chairman, Mr. C. S. Aldrich, of Troy, New York; Recording Secretary, Mr. Dana M. Albaugh, of New York City. Other regular meetings of the Board were held in New York in Novem­ ber, February and April. The average attendance was twenty- two out of a possible twenty-eight. Rev. H. H. Straton, First Vice-president of the Society, found it possible to attend two of the meetings. Among the missionaries at home on furlough welcomed to meetings of the Board or the Executive Committee were the following, many of whom either made brief addresses or took part in the discussions in the standing committees: Rev. and Mrs. Wm. Axling, of Japan; Rev. L. A. Brown, of Congo; Rev. and Mrs. E. H. Cressy, of East China; Rev. H. I. Frost, of Bengal-Orissa; Dr. and Mrs. F. W . Goddard, of East China, Rev. G. S. Jury, of Burma; Rev. and Mrs. A. H. Page, of South China; Miss Elma R. Tharp, of Japan. The Board was privileged to hear the following representatives of denominational and interdenominational w ork: Dr. J. G. Vaughan, Medical Director of the Associated Mission Medical Office; Dr. J. Merle Davis, Director of the Department of Social and Economic Research and Counsel of the International Mis­ sionary Council; Dr. Earl F. Adams, Director of Promotion of the Council on Finance and Promotion; Dr. J. H. Rushbrooke, President of the Baptist World Alliance; Dr. Lloyd S. Ruland, Secretary of the Presbyterian Foreign Missions Board. Several sessions were held as joint meetings with the Board and officers of the Woman’s American Baptist Foreign Mission 34 AMERICAN BAPTIST FOREIGN MISSION SOCIETY

Society at which policies and plans of mutual concern were reviewed.

CHANGES IN ADMINISTRATIVE RESPONSIBILITY In the 1939 annual report an account was given of the visit to the missions in the Far East and British India by Associate Secretary J. R. Wilson, who had been serving as the represen­ tative of the Society on the Pacific Coast. On his return to the United States, Dr. Wilson was assigned to duties with the Home Department in the New York office. Rev. E. S. Burket, mis­ sionary on furlough, carried the work on the Pacific Coast until January when an emergency in the Mission Treasurer’s office in Shanghai necessitated his return to the field. A special committee of the Board is giving study to the problem of filling the vacancy on the west coast. Dr. R. L. Howrard, wrhose election to the office of Foreign Sec­ retary was noted in the last report, assumed responsibility for the administration in India and Burma during the summer months of 1939, after the return of Foreign Secretary J. W. Decker from the Far East. At the November Board meeting, Budget Secretary D. M. Albaugh was asked to assume administrative responsibility for affairs in Europe. Foreign Secretary J. C. Robbins con­ tinued his work with the Candidate Department and, as reported elsewhere, gave largely and effectively of his time in behalf of the Convocations and the united budget in which the Society has a large interest.

LITERATURE AND PUBLICITY During the past year the Publicity Department of the Society has continued to function with effectiveness. The major empha­ sis has been placed on the preparation of All Kindreds and Tongues, the illustrated survey of mission fields, a handbook of missionary information. Several other pamphlets and folders have been printed in quantity and used in connection with the Convocations throughout the Convention area: Following the Great Commission, The Warrant for Christian Missions, Inherent in the Charter. A new booklet, Annuities— A Way to Give and to Receive, and a folder of annuity rates, Special Gift Agreements GENERAL REVIEW OF THE YEAR 35 with Life Annuity Returns, are also ready. The River That Crosses Oceans, a “ needs” folder of general appeal, has been pre­ pared for special distribution. Two China leaflets, Christianity Lives in Suffering China and China Calls, also a new map of China mission fields, present in a comprehensive manner the status and place of mission work in that land. Through the Home Department the usual large supply of mis­ sionary station letters and reports has been mailed to interested friends. Fully 25,000 copies have kept the constituency in touch with special fields, projects and missionaries. Reprints, brought up-to-date, of Burma— Then and Now and the Judson College pamphlet, are available. Through the Council on Finance and Promotion and the De­ partment of Missionary Education the Society has presented the work in increasing volume. Missions, The Watchman-Examiner and other denominational publications have given large space to the work of the Society and sincere appreciation is hereby ex­ pressed.

BURMA A year ago Burma was emerging from the most disturbed period in recent history. The Burmese Buddhist, usually tolerant, was much disturbed by a book written by a Moslem criticizing the Buddha. Smouldering anger was whipped into flames by cer­ tain irresponsible newspapers. Economic and political conflict between the Burman and the immigrant Indian added fuel to the flames. Serious rioting burst out in Rangoon and spread to other parts of the land. Radical students made this the occasion for a strike in the University of Rangoon. Judson College students were inevitably affected, and the school year of 1937-1938 ended in considerable doubt as to what the future might be, not only for the college and for other schools, but also for the work as a whole throughout Burma. The general outcome of this past year has been such as to cause great gratitude.

Two Outstanding Advances Pyinmana Agricultural School has from year to year increased the breadth and depth of its helpfulness. The year 1939 has seen the achievement of a long-hoped-for extension. Baptist work 36 AMERICAN BAPTIST FOREIGN MISSION SOCIETY

among the Kachins began high above the upper reaches of the Irrawaddy River, where W . H. Roberts pioneered among this people. In the fall of 1939, W . H. Cummings— Dr. Roberts’ grandson—became supervisor of a government-sponsored and supported extension of Pyinmana in the eastern end of the Kachin area with headquarters at Namkham. Mr. and Mrs. C. R. Horton of California went to fill the place left vacant at Pyinmana. So the dreams which Rev. and Mrs. B. C. Case had when the work at the Agricultural School was begun are now being fulfilled, and there is promise of a wide extension of this Christ-centered rural reconstruction work with its message of salvation and complete life-transformation. Judson College faced the opening of a new college year in June, 1939, with considerable trepidation. President G. S. Jury and Mrs. Jury, who had served the college so ably, were going on furlough. Added to this was the grave uncertainty as to attend­ ance. Professor U Hla Bu, Ph.D., and his wife, Daw Aye Tin, both Judson graduates, took over the responsibility of officiating in the Jurys’ absence. The attendance rose from 352 to 426, and the entrants were of such a high character as to indicate clearly public confidence in the college and its administration. Increased governmental control of university education had been one of the results of the previous year’s agitation. Numbers of difficult problems arose in connection with negotiations in regard to the reorganization of the governing body of the college. All these have been ably handled by the officiating president.

Seminaries and Bible Schools First in Burma’s program for the future have been placed the seminaries and Bible schools in Insein and Rangoon. The multi­ plicity of races makes the problem a difficult one. There are separate institutions for men and for women in Burmese and in Sgaw Karen, a co-educational school for Pwo Karens, and the Willis and Orlinda Pierce Divinity School offer courses in English to advanced students of all races. The plan adopted by the Mission calls for having the faculty of the Divinity School made up of the missionaries designated to the vernacular insti­ tutions. This plan requires that the missionaries live in Insein, and it is hoped that the schools now in Rangoon may be ulti­ GENERAL REVIEW OF THE YEAR 37

mately housed at Insein. The accomplishment of this purpose is not an easy one. These schools are very dear to their racial groups; self-direction and self-support with missionary teaching and counsel is the correct plan for best growth. Much thought is being given to the problem and to the provision of adequate quarters for all on the fine campus on the Insein hills.

Out of the Hills of Burma The great Irrawaddy Valley is lined on three sides by hills; on the west and northwest are the Chin; on the north, the Kachin, and on the northeast and east the Lahu and Wa. High among these hills have been some of the great harvests of Baptist foreign missions. From among the Northern Chins comes a report of an increase in baptisms over the previous year— from 623 to 821. With pastors’ salaries totaling something over Rs.4,000, the Chin Hills contributions have reached Rs.3,675. The translation of the New Testament was finished in 1939, and numbers of Bible classes have been held. From the Kachins come like encouraging reports: Ten new workers have graduated from the Bible school; the influence of the Bible school has been said to have changed Kutkai from “ a little hades to a little heaven.” At last the Mission has been permitted to enter the formerly unadministered W a States. A new station is being built at Pang Yang and the future holds rich promise. Bana and Mong Mong on the China side of the border have been, during the past year, under the care of Thra Ba Te, an able Karen. The problem of covering furloughs at Kengtung and Pangwai leaves this great field without much needed missionary counsel and guidance.

ASSAM The Province of Assam faces certain problems that are common to the rest of India. Though the Congress Party in India is overwhelmingly Hindu, as is the population of India as a whole, in more than half .the provincial Congress Party cabinets there have been one or more Moslem representatives. The President of the All-India Congress Party is Maulana Azad, a Moslem theologian. In Assam the division is about five million Hindus 38 AMERICAN BAPTIST FOREIGN MISSION SOCIETY

and three million Moslems out of a population of over nine mil­ lion. This has enabled a Moslem-led coalition government to carry on after the Congress-controlled cabinet resigned. With this background, one may better understand a comment from Assam on the Indian situation: The leaven is working in the life of India today and affects also the life of the church and the relations between the Indian churches and the Mission. Restlessness, dissatisfaction with things as they are, hungers and cravings, longings and yearnings characterize the mood of India...... Commenting on or explaining or solving this problem, we occa­ sionally read newspaper and magazine articles placing the responsibility for all the woes of the people of India, from poverty to communal riots, upon the shoulders of the British Government. But it is not so easy as that after all. Many of the causes of India’s poverty are self-inflicted, and the remedy lies with the people themselves rather than with Govern­ ment, and the tensions that exist between Mussulmans and Hindus have no more to do with the so-called “divide and rule” policy than has snuff with every sneeze. These tensions have their real roots in irreconcilable religious convictions and practices—the Mussulman eats the cow—the Hindu worships it; the Hindu bows down before gods of wood and stone—the Mussulman worships one God and makes eternal war on idola­ ters and infidels. There is really only one solution to this problem— C h r i s t . He alone is competent to break down these middle walls that divide India into warring religious communities.

Jorhat Schools The Jorhat schools of the Assam Mission include the only high school, normal school and full Bible school for boys in the whole Province. In consequence, they assume unusual impor­ tance. Good reports come from all branches of the work. Chris­ tian graduates of the Normal School are especially in demand. Both faculty and boys in the Bible School have taken a very active interest in evangelistic work. Daily Vacation Bible Schools, a new venture in Assam, have been held in sixteen centers with 458 young people enrolled. Graduates from the Jorhat Schools have been active in this venture.

Mikirs of Assam Make a Report A seldom-mentioned, but still vital and important, racial group in Assam is the Mikirs. During the period of declining receipts and decreasing staff, the further continuance of work among these hill folk was debated. Final decision was for the mission­ GENERAL REVIEW OF THE YEAR 39 ary to divide his time between the Mikir Hills and the Nowgong Valley. This year’s report for the two Mikir Associations indi­ cates the largest number of baptisms in the history of the work. Five evangelists have been- at work. A much improved translation of the New Testament was published, and its circulation stimulated by setting a trade-in value on the old edition. The Mikirs are a small folk compared with the Garos and Nagas among whom a great and fine growth continues, but in inherent sturdiness they may be ranked beside other hill groups.

SOUTH INDIA The South India Mission is divided by the Kistna River; to the north are the stations in Hyderabad State.; to the south, the Madras Presidency stations. Under the Nizam of Hyderabad, as under the British raj, there is freedom to worship and to preach. But while both the British and more recently the popu­ larly elected Congress Party cabinets have done much to assist and encourage education, the Indian State policy has given little encouragement to schools for Christians and there have been no grants-in-aid. The development of leadership becomes an increas­ ingly urgent task as the size of the church grows. O f all the British India missions, South India has the largest single language group of baptized believers and also the most acute leadership- training problem.

Dr. J. A. Coles Still Helps Bountiful bequests from the New Jersey benefactor, J. A. Coles, had been limited previously to “ upkeep and betterment” of Kurnool and Nellore schools. An extension of these terms has now been granted so that not only Kurnool and Nellore, but also the teacher-training schools at Cumbum and Bapatla and the Theological Seminary at Ramapatnam may be assisted in their current expenses. All of this is a tremendous boon, espe­ cially to that portion of the mission which is in the Madras Presi­ dency. A major remaining leadership-training need is the pro­ vision of adequate schools for Christians in the Nizam’s dominions. 40 AMERICAN BAPTIST FOREIGN MISSION SOCIETY

Preston Institute Outstanding in equipment, in staff, and in meeting this Hydera­ bad State problem, is Preston Institute at Jangaon. This year has seen an enrollment of 247. The increase in number of boarders has crowded the dormitories and has necessitated adding a ver­ anda along the side and end of the girls’ dormitory. Twenty boys and girls unable to go home for Christmas cheerfully helped the masons with this job. Miss V. Gulbhan has returned from the United States with her master’s degree, and brought new life both to the school and to the church.

Gypsies Join the Church One of the odd sights of South India is the Lombadi, so like the gypsies in America as to be almost undistinguishable; India is regarded as the original home of this nomad people. Perhaps nothing better illustrates the depressed condition of the outcaste than the fact that the Lombadis belong to a caste group. The report from Vinukonda tells of the evangelistic forces being strengthened by the coming of two young pastors from the Rama- patnam Seminary. Among the resulting baptisms were eleven Sudras of the Karma caste, and a Lombadi man and wife.

BENGAL-ORISSA The Santal field is large and the churches and families are scattered. Some churches are without pastors. The missionary should be able to give full time to evangelistic work in view of the opportunity. However, he now has the additional respon­ sibility of supervising seventy village schools and serves on several important committees. Not only are more Indian workers needed for this racial group, but another missionary family as well. In spite of all this, there are many reasons for encourage­ ment. More emphasis has been placed on lay leadership, and some fine, dependable leaders have been discovered and developed in this work. One has done good work as a supervising evan­ gelist. A training class was held in March. Trained and lay leaders were given instruction in the Bible, evangelism, worship, methods of adult education and other practical matters. Most of the churches have had additions by baptism during the year. GENERAL REVIEW OF THE YEAR 41

Under the auspices of the Bengal Christian Council, a survey was made to see what opportunities were presented for a mass movement among the Santals. Among the recommendations were these: That more missionaries, especially women, should learn the Santali language and work among these people. A training institution for Santal pastors was proposed. Now when the Santals are so responsive, a vigorous policy of evangelism is imperative, before the opportunity passes. The Council also stres»ed the extension of lay witnessing—winning relatives and friends within one’s own group. Another missionary spends all his time in evangelistic work among the Kora people who are “ cousins” of the Santals. Their receptiveness is encouraging. Formerly they ran away through fear, but now they are eager to hear the gospel. There were thirty- seven baptisms among them during the year. In the Hatigarh area there are several village churches and communities which an outsider would think easy to reach. How­ ever, for a large part of the year they are separated by impass­ able streams and their supervision is a difficult and arduous task. The missionary at Hatigarh never lacks for projects to occupy his time. The leper clinic has continued to grow as increasing numbers are being healed and sent away. A new church near Chordia, in the home mission field, has been organized. ' One of the strongest evangelistic workers has been transferred for work there. The small church at Mundapur, twenty miles from Balasore, leads all the country churches in the number of baptisms. Eight of the nine baptisms there during the year were converts from Hinduism. It is a great pity the primary school of this village has had to be closed for lack of funds. In the whole Balasore area there were twenty-six bap­ tisms reported. Rev. C. C. Roadarmel carried on the work of Union Church, Khargpur, until the return of Rev. and Mrs. E. C. Brush in November. He also served as Mission Secretary and Treasurer and on important committees. The church was fortunate to have one so capable of directing the English work, and who yet found time to advise with the Indian leaders. 42 AMERICAN BAPTIST FOREIGN MISSION SOCIETY

Educational W ork The Governor of Orissa visited the Boys’ High and Technical School in Balasore in February. He was much impressed at its successful management, and expressed his opinion that the Mis­ sion was ten years in advance of the Government in such a practical combination of academic and industrial work. The Inspector of Schools in the district also noted his intention of having the next conference of headmasters in Balasore that they might see the working of this model school. Bhimpore High School for Boys also had much to encourage it during the year; more pupils in the higher classes, the greatest fee income in its history, and all graduates passing the college entrance examination for the third year in succession. This work will be cared for by Mr. Roadarmel during Mr. Long’s furlough.

SOUTH CHINA This year has been one of the most critical in the one hundred years in which Northern Baptists have been working in South China. Until June 21, 1939, South China was spared most of the dislocation experienced in East China incident to the Sino- Japanese conflict, but on this date the Japanese occupied Swatow and a small adjoining area. This has resulted in stoppage of imports and exports, business stagnation and a rapid increase in the cost of living. Travel over the field has been both difficult and costiy. Furthermore, only part of the field has been invaded and people in Free China are reluctant to come into the territory where they must acknowledge Japanese supremacy. The divisive effects in the Mission of such a situation are at once evident. The Japanese have continued their inland aerial attacks with damage to several chapels, in two or three instances reaching major proportions. The refugee problem has been acute and at one time this year the Kakchieh Compound housed nearly 1,500 refugees, many of them women. The four mission hospitals were able to carry on with an increased program and without interruption. A widespread malarial epidemic made unusually heavy demands on the medical staff. Considerable general relief work has been done and the need is growing rapidly. The occupation forced major changes in the educational pro­ GENERAL REVIEW OF THE YEAR 43

gram. It seemed unwise to open several schools in the pene­ trated area. On the other hand, a temporary middle school was opened at Ungkung in the unoccupied area and although the work is carried on with borrowed equipment and without subsidy, the school has a large enrollment of students who have been forced to remain inland. Quite a number of institutions have been re­ moved from city centers to villages in consequence of repeated bombing raids, among them the flourishing Kityang Middle School. Evangelistic work has been hindered but by no means stopped as a result of the war. Travel is largely by foot or by bicycle. Services are arranged for hours when bombers are least likely to appear. Many able and well-to-do church members have fled before the invaders and this has left a number of churches with a desperate struggle to maintain their life and worship. At least one chapel was used for months by the Japanese military as a stable. The courage of the Chinese Christians is reflected in the fact that after it was evacuated, services were resumed and a pastor has been sent to gather together the scattered flock. There has been a splendid advance in the religious education program with many new Sunday school classes and junior church services for children. A most pressing problem is that of trained Christian leadership. Recently the missionaries have been heart­ ened by the fact that a number of young people have offered themselves for training as ministers and church workers. As on other fields the missionary staff problem is most urgent with personnel just fifty per cent of what it was in 1920. In spite of all this, Rev. K. G. Hobart, Mission Secretary, writes: “ It is true at least to say that among Christians and inquirers there is a deepening spiritual hunger. It is borne out by the demand for Bibles and Scripture portions. The suffer­ ings and privations which our Christians have had to undergo have deepened their spiritual life and made them more conscious of their dependence upon Divine help.”

EAST CH IN A The East China Mission has experienced the longest period of actual conflict in the Sino-Japanese struggle, almost three years. It has been “on the fighting line” for all that time. Missionaries 44 AMERICAN BAPTIST FOREIGN MISSION SOCIETY

and Nationals in the Japanese penetrated section live among the ruins left by the fighting with business stagnation, Japanese pres­ sure and guerrilla warfare as their daily portion. Rev. A. I. Nasmith writes of erstwhile beautiful Hangchow, famed show place of China, occupied by the invaders in 1937: “ W e are still on the battle line. Not a month passes without seeing bombers in formation or hearing the sound of distant artillery or even machine gun fire. A few months ago our evening prayer service was cut short because of the sound of hand grenades and rifle shots not far away. As we hurried home, the sky was lit with the glow of four separate fires.” And his Anglican colleague, Bishop Curtis, reports: “ Hangchow is a city of the poor, a starv­ ing city.” From the unoccupied area, at Ningpo, Mr. H. R. S. Benjamin writes of the almost daily bombings of last May. The Shaohing missionaries report the fear and panic which overtook that city in January and February last, when it seemed that the armies which had crossed the river at Hangchow would certainly march on Shaohing. Rev. A. F. Ufford is frank in saying, “ W e are living under considerable nervous strain. W e are probably fairly safe in our compounds marked with American flags, and yet there is a measure of fear to contend with. For all of us there is the steady drain of contact with war sufferers.” That under those circumstances there have not been more missionary break­ downs is a cause for thankfulness. Reinforcement of the thin line is an imperative necessity. In such a situation one of the major tasks of the missionary and Chinese colleagues has been relief work. This has been done on a large scale in every one of the East China stations. Special attention has been given to hungry children. As a typical exam­ ple, in Hangchow through the year, two hundred and forty chil­ dren have been given a half-day of instruction and a free meal everyday except Sundays. Funds provided in America have been richly used and there are countless expressions of gratitude for this timely help, which is in fact an integral part of the Chris­ tian witness. Rev. J. P. Davies puts it well: “ The aim is to rehabilitate the people and not just to keep body and soul together. Most of these refugees are people not accustomed to these hard­ ships. The story of a heavenly Father who loves and cares is GENERAL REVIEW OF THE YEAR 45

indeed ‘Good News’ to them. It is a pleasure to observe the transition from despair to hope on their faces.” It is also easy to understand why the service of the hospitals has had such a growing place in their communities. The Shaohing hospital treated about 30 per cent more patients in 1939 than in 1938. The comparative figures for the past two years from Hwa Mei Hospital, in Ningpo are even more startling:

1938 1939 Out-patients 36,900 89,083 In-patients 1,687 2,586

In Shanghai the work of the Union Middle School continues. This school comprises fourteen schools exiled from the penetrated zone, several Baptist among them. A senior branch of this school is to be set up in Free China at inland Kinhwa, to supplement the junior school already there. The Ningpo, Shaohing and Kinhwa schools report capacity enrollments. Perhaps the most remarkable feature of the East China situa­ tion has been the way in which the churches have kept up the evangelistic and training work. 1937 recorded an all-time high for baptisms, with 410. In 1938, with incomplete reports from the penetrated zone, the number was 305. The 1939 advance reports are very encouraging. For example, five small country churches almost “ on the firing line” had 47 baptisms in the sum­ mer, with many more expected in the autumn. Bible training institutes for men and women have been a growing feature of the church activities in East China, even in this crisis. The workers are enthusiastic about the results of this effort.

The University of Shanghai After being held for more than two years by the Japanese mili­ tary, the plant of the University of Shanghai was returned to missionary occupancy and control in the early autumn of 1939. At once a survey of the losses and the damage which had re­ sulted from occupation was begun and this has proved to be an arduous and exacting task. As this report is written, the results are practically ready to submit to the State Department of the United States Government, for presentation in turn to the Japa­ nese authorities. What the result will be must remain a story 46 AMERICAN BAPTIST FOREIGN MISSION SOCIETY

for some other annual report! Meantime, the school continues, in co-operation with the other East China Christian Colleges in the International Settlement, with the largest enrollment in its history.

W E ST CH INA West China has been through a year marked by all sorts of developments— from major bombing attacks to lay-training insti­ tutes! The influences and enterprises from the coast, Christian and otherwise, impinge on the old order in this vast hinterland and compel it to change. A missionary puts it well: “ We are like country cousins who are jolted out of village life into a metropolitan life.” West China Union University campus with its own program and that of its four guest institutions from the coast continues to be one of the busiest places in all China. New buildings have been going up, both permanent and temporary. The one bomb­ ing attack came last June, just at the close of the academic year, but did not seriously interrupt the program. This great Christian educational center is being geared more and more into the life and needs of the community. B. A. Slocum is especially reveal­ ing as to difficulties to be overcome when he says of the Division of Entomology of Nanking University: “ We are fortunate this term that out of the three courses our division is offering, we are able to give two of them in campus buildings. The third one is given on our porch for there was no other place available. It is a little cold in February to hold a three-hour laboratory on a screened porch with the thermometer well below sixty degrees. It is also a little difficult to teach this course, beekeeping, for there is only one text-book for six students. Original cost and postage are prohibitive and it takes four months to a year to secure the book after it is ordered.” Numerous faculty and student groups have been studying the life and teachings of Jesus with growing interest. D. S. Dye writes: “ There is more sensitiveness to re­ ligion today than there has been these several past years...... We are working with time and truth, with Christ and personality, and we have confidence and hope.” The recently established Union Theological College is improv­ GENERAL REVIEW OF THE YEAR 47

ing its plant and adding to its teaching staff. There has also been an encouraging increase in its enrollment. The middle schools have all continued in their own plants, and with enlarged enrollments. Some primary schools have had to move out of the cities to safer places. The demands on the medical staff have grown tremendously. Epidemics of cholera and of malaria have added to the burden. At the same time, government and other agencies are seeking the services of the limited Chinese medical personnel available and the result has been a serious shortage in Chinese staff. For this reason, Dr. R. L. Cook, at Yachow, has been distressed at inability to take full advantage of opportunities offered. It is also growing more and more difficult to secure adequate medical supplies. With the help of the National Christian Council and Nanking Seminary, Lay Training Institutes have been held in two of the stations as a part of a province-wide program. Eleven evan­ gelists have profited by a Workers’ Institute under the same auspices. These institutes help to supply one of West China’s greatest deficiencies— trained leadership. Supplies of Christian literature have not kept up with the needs. Travel has been slow and expensive, and this has hampered the cultivation of the out- stations. A retreat for evangelists in Kiating in January resulted in renewed enthusiasm and vision. Refugee Christians from down river are giving much aid in the activities of the churches. The missionary staff for this type of work is woefully small, con­ sidering the duties and opportunities they face.

JAPAN The conflict in China continues completely to dominate life and thinking in Japan. Growing economic stringency and the con­ tinual postponement of the promised end of the “incident” have brought soberness, but not a change of mind. Recent months have seen some degree of relaxation in the repression of public criticism. Dr. Kagawa has led in carrying on a nation-wide evan­ gelistic campaign which has brought out great crowds, but it is too early to assess the results. Among Japanese Christians there has been a genuine concern for China and for the welfare and progress of Christian work 48 AMERICAN BAPTIST FOREIGN MISSION SOCIETY

there. A substantial amount of evangelism and service has been undertaken on the continent in the face of serious and obvious obstacles. This may prove to be the beginning of a real missionary movement. During the year the Religious Organizations Bill has become a law to be implemented gradually. This bill gives formal recog­ nition and full legal standing to Christianity as one of the re­ ligions of the Empire. In general it is designed to bring reli­ gious organizations under a supervision by the national govern­ ment which appears quite strict but which, in fact, more or less regularizes and centralizes the degrees of control until now some­ what arbitrarily exercised by local officials. Should any question arise the government will be in a position to refer directly to the responsible head of each Christian group or denomination. Recog­ nized church organizations may hold property and it will be tax-free. One result of the new religious law was to hasten a process already operating for the union of all Baptists in Japan into one effective organization. There have long been two Baptist Conventions— the East, associated with Northern Baptists in the United States; and the West, associated with Southern Baptists in the United States. Talk of union has been going on for some years with minor results. January 3-5 last these Conventions had their final annual meetings at Himeji, followed by a session in which thé union was consummated. The organization is now to be called the “Japan Baptist Church.” In Japanese it is known as the “ Nippon Baputesto Kirisuto Kyodan” (literally, the “ Japan Baptist Christian Denomination” ). Dr. Yugoro Chiba was elected its first president. Many of the organizational and administrative procedures of the Japan Baptist Church are still in process of clarification. One especially important step has been taken in the unification of Baptist theological education. The West Convention had a theological school at Fukuoka, while the students of the East Convention lived in the Tenny Memorial House in Tokyo and got their instruction in Aoyama Seminary, an institution largely under Methodist direction. The new Baptist seminary, with Dr. Chiba at its head, will use Tenny Memorial House as its plant. GENERAL REVIEW OF THE YEAR 49

BELGIAN CONGO The Jubilee Conference, which brought together Christians from all parts of Belgian Congo, deepened the sense of the unity among missions of the Christian church. In the Banza Manteke area this sense of oneness has hastened an agreement with the Swedish Mission on an interchange of territory which has been under discussion for many years. By this adjustment the Congo River becomes the boundary between the Swedish and American Baptist Missions. Mukinbumgu, once a station of American Bap­ tists, again becomes a part of the Mission, a part of the new Banza Manteke field, and the Swedish Mission receives a terri­ tory on the north bank of the river. Another sign of advance in co-operation was manifest at the Conference held in September, 1939, in the Kwango area where three stations — Vanga, Moanza and Kikongo — are located. Through the courtesy of the government, which granted free airplane passage, the Secretary of the Congo Protestant Council and the Secretary of the Mission were able to attend. A number of independent missions working in the Kwango area are doing a really constructive work, but more than a few have been lack­ ing in co-operation and have been the cause of so much division and difficulty that the colonial government has been embarrassed in knowing how to deal with them and Protestant missions in general have suffered. All but one of these missions were repre­ sented at the Conference and a really fine spirit prevailed. At the close, those present voted for a similar meeting next year and it is hoped that the Christian spirit manifest between Protestant missions in other sections of the Congo may be true of the Kwango as well. Still another tangible sign of Christian partnership may be men­ tioned. Near the close of 1939, the Baptist Missionary Society, of England, in a fraternal spirit, sent a young doctor to Tondo for a trial period of three years, during which time the larger questions relating to the permanent status of the field will be studied. The past year the Sona Bata field has been experiencing a sep­ aratist movement similar to the Prophet Movement of the twen­ ties. It has an undisciplined leadership with a strange mixture 50 AMERICAN BAPTIST FOREIGN MISSION SOCIETY of the new and the old, of Christian teachings with the Pentecostal element in the foreground, and witchcraft and ancient superstition. One more year has passed without redress being granted in the matter of Protestant schools. It is hoped that the time will not be too far distant when the Belgian Government which has given such a fine example of colonial administration in so many respects will add to its achievements this also— complete equality in the education of Congo natives, whether Roman Catholic or Prot­ estant. Rev. George W. Carpenter, now serving as Educational Ad­ viser of the Congo Protestant Council, and Mrs. Carpenter cov­ ered by river steamer and automobile, a long and interesting itinerary among missions in the area stretching from Leopold­ ville eastward to the Rhodesian border. On this long trip they gathered much valuable data on the work being done in Christian education, and on the needs of these fields. What have been the effects of the war upon Belgian Congo? Belgium has thus far remained neutral. Delayed mail and slow­ ness in receiving supplies, the greatly increased cost of trans­ portation and the difficulty of passage to and from the field— these are some of the effects. But there are effects that go deeper. There is a lowering respect for the white man and his wisdom when that wisdom is directed to the destruction of his fellow men. “ How can Christians fight Christians even if they belong to different countries and different tribes?” they ask. The mis­ sionary enterprise is made more difficult by war at every turn.

THE PHILIPPINE ISLANDS As the time for Philippine independence approaches, thought­ ful people are voicing increasing concern that the many social and economic problems involved in the separation can be solved in a way that will not be detrimental to the interest of the Fili­ pinos. Equally important is the feeling that the contribution of a democratic, evangelical, Protestant Christianity must be-preserved. That Baptist churches in the Philippines are themselves aware of this continued need is a most encouraging fact. The year 1939 has been one of steady progress with many opportunities to build for a politically independent future. GENERAL REVIEW OF THE YEAR 51

The churches in the Baptist area have lost some of their mem­ bers through the migrations to the Island of Mindanao which by comity agreement is within the scope of other missions. How­ ever, 813 baptisms are reported for the year. This represents an addition of ten per cent to the church membership, indicating a continued healthy growth. Retreats for pastors and workers have been held in a number of sections on the field. For the first time the Annual Institute for pastors and workers was con­ ducted by a Filipino Director and with outstanding success. Dur­ ing the year the plans have been launched for summer assemblies and camp activities, particularly on behalf of the young people of the Convention. Another evidence of growth is the fact that a Filipino, Mr. Engracio Alora, was elected General Secretary of the Convention, assuming heavy administrative duties. Mr. Estanislao Padilla, delegate to the Madras Conference, was elected President of the Convention and is giving it most effective leadership. The hospitals at Capiz and Iloilo report that the number of patients is larger than the year before and both institutions have provided for an increase in staff. A capable Filipino physician has been appointed to the post of Acting Director of the Iloilo Hospital. Two fine missionary families were added to the Philippine missionary staff through unforeseen circumstances on other fields. Rev. and Mrs. J. H. Covell were transferred from Japan and Rev. and Mrs. R. F. Chambers from Assam. Mr. Covell is serv­ ing as Professor of English at Central Philippine College and Mr. Chambers has been made dean of the School of Theology. Mr. Chambers’ wife, Dr. Dorothy Kinney Chambers, is a valuable addition to the medical staff of the Iloilo Hospital.

Central Philippine College Last year a new building on the campus to house the Baptist Missionary Training School, which had been merged with Cen­ tral Philippine College, was reported as the greatest need in this field. That building is now a reality. Made possible by funds secured through the sale of a piece of land, the building was dedi­ cated in October and comfortably houses the Training School, the entire theological library, and the office of the dean of the School 52 AMERICAN BAPTIST FOREIGN MISSION SOCIETY

of Theology. With the opening of the last school year this de­ partment—the School of Theology—was expanded by adding the B. S. R. E. course which meets the scholastic requirements of the government. The College has continued to grow. A night department was opened and is rendering real service to the community. The separation of the College of Education from that of Liberal Arts and Sciences and the appointment of a dean are other forward steps.

EUROPE All phases of work in Europe have suffered from the war now raging. Czecho-Slovakia no longer exists as an independent nation. Poland has been partitioned; Germany controls the western part, Russia the eastern. Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania have been brought into the orbit of Russian influence. Germany has extended her “ protection” to Denmark and her troops occupy strategic positions in this historic kingdom. As this is being written the British and German navies and air forces are battling for control of the Norwegian coast, after the occupation of Norway by Germany in a surprise move. Sweden has reaffirmed her neutrality, but is in a most delicate position. Most of the pastors in France have been called into military service. After the Baptist World Conference in London in July, 1920, the Society entered into a fraternal relationship with the Bap­ tist bodies in these lands, and furnished financial aid particularly in the education of the ministry. Since the outbreak of the war last fall, information about the friends in most of these coun­ tries has been very meager. It is known that many have lost their homes, some have been killed, others are in concentration camps and still others are called to military service. Where it has been feasible, the Board has continued a minimum of financial aid, but the currency control in certain countries and the develop­ ing area of war have made it impossible to do constructive build­ ing. Plans are being laid to renew aid and help at the earliest possible moment. Relief needs will no doubt be very great. Dr. W . O. Lewis, who until this year was special representative of the Society in Europe, has now become General Secretary of the Baptist World Alliance. The Board is making a substantial GENERAL REVIEW OF THE YEAR 53

contribution toward his salary and expenses in the new office, and in turn will continue to have the benefit of his advice and help on European matters. He will give approximately half of his time to the work of the Society. Perhaps the spirit of the Christian friends in Europe will best be revealed by a quotation from a letter written by one of the fine young leaders in the Baltic States: “ W e have no information as to what has happened to the workers in Poland. Rumors say they have been exiled. The same fate may await our men here. I, personally, have decided to share the fate of my people. I know that it may be a question of life and death God knows how it will all end; but I shall do my duty.”

DEPUTATION SERVICE OF MISSIONARIES Missionaries on furlough have rendered an effective and valu­ able service in deputation work during the year, and the Board here records its appreciation. The following list includes the names of those who have served this year, and those whose names did not appear under this heading in last year’s report.

Burma: Mrs. J. H. Cope, Rev. Roger Cummings, Rev. V. W. Dyer, Rev. G. S. Jury, Mrs. H. W. Smith, Rev. J. H. Telford; Assam: Rev. E. E. Brock; South India-. Rev. and Mrs. A. M. Boggs; East China: Rev. and Mrs. E. H. Cressy, Dr. and Mrs. F. W. Goddard, Dr. Harold Thomas; West China: Rev. and Mrs. D. C. Graham; Japan: Rev. and Mrs. William Axling; Philippine Islands: Rev. and Mrs. H. W. Munger; Belgian Congo: Rev. and Mrs. L. A. Brown, Rev. and Mrs. T. E. Bubeck, Rev. and Mrs. P. C. Metzger.

END OF LIFE’S JOURNEY The Board of Managers regrets to report the death of twelve missionaries during the past year. Ten of this number were retired, having served many years in foreign lands. Two were in active service. The Board is deeply appreciative of their devotion and faithfulness, and extends its sincere sympathy to relatives and friends.

Rev. George H. Brock, D.D. Rev. George H. Brock, retired, South India missionary, was killed in an automobile accident on November 21, 1939, in Lynchburg, Virginia. His name is familiar to Baptists throughout the Convention, for his services 54 AMERICAN BAPTIST FOREIGN MISSION SOCIETY

did not terminate with his forty and more years in India. When Dr. and Mrs. Brock left the field in 1933 it was reported: “A thousand and more people of all classes, led by the Tahsildar of the Maharajah of Ven- katagiri, the Circle Inspector of Police and the local village officials, marched to where the Brocks were staying, with band playing and lights blazing. They were escorted to the center of the village, garlands of flowers were placed about their necks, and a two-hour program was car­ ried out, extolling their kindness and love, and their contribution to the uplift of the villages. Then came the procession, in which Hindus, Mohammedans and Christians took part.” In the formal address of fare­ well were the words, “Your names have become a household word in all this great taluk. India parts with you with unfeigned regret ” Dr. Brock was bom in Toronto, on April 17, 1859. He was graduated from the Toronto Business College and McMaster Hall in 1890. He received his Doctor of Divinity degree in 1928 from Western Theological Seminary. Appointed to foreign service in October, 1891, he was designated to Kani- giri for general evangelistic and educational work. In September, 1893, he was married to Miss Beatrice L. Slade, medical missionary under the Woman’s Society in Nellore. Mrs. Brock died on January 11, 1938.

Mrs. George Campbell Jennie Wortman Campbell, retired, widow of Rev. George Campbell, of South China, died May 25, 1939, at Toledo, Ohio, following an operation. Mrs. Campbell was bom at Van Wert, Ohio, January 30, 1863. In June, 1882, she was married and, together, Mr. and Mrs. Campbell went to Nebraska and Washington Territory as pioneer missionaries. They re­ ceived foreign mission appointment in April, 1887, and arrived in China in November of that year, designated to Kaying. There they served in an evangelistic capacity until their return to America in 1900. While on furlough, Mr. Campbell became city missionary in Seattle and resigned to accept the superintendency of Chinese Missions on the Pacific Coast. In 1908, reappointed to foreign service, they returned for another term of service among the Hakkas of South China. Health conditions compelled their return to America in 1916. Mr. Campbell died July 18, 1927. Mrs. E. S. Burket, Miss Dorothy Campbell and Miss Louise Campbell, three of their eight children, have followed in missionary service in China.

Mrs. Brayton C. Case The passing of this missionary wife and mother, in active foreign ser­ vice, leaves a very real vacancy in many circles. Lena Tillman was born in Petersbach, Alsace, June 25, 1882. She came as a child to the United States, and grew up in Pennsylvania where she graduated from South­ western State Normal School. Having decided to enter mission work, she took courses at Newton Theological Institution and Cornell University. She was appointed as a missionary of the Woman’s American Baptist Foreign Mission Society on March 27, 1911, and was designated to the GENERAL REVIEW OF THE YEAR 55

English Girls’ High School, Moulmein, Burma, serving there and later in Mandalay until her marriage to Rev. Brayton C. Case in January, 1917. Then began their great work at the Pyinmana Agricultural School at Pyinmana. Together they met and overcame the difficulties in the way, and Mrs. Case did her full share of the practical work without which the Agricultural School would not be the splendid institution it is today. She had as her special responsibility the ministry to the women in their homes with emphasis on the health and care of their families. Mrs. Case was a woman of real ability, strong character and deep convictions. When it was decided that the only hope for her recovery from a serious illness lay in immediate treatment in America, she and Mr. Case agreed that she would go to America alone and, that unless there was something that he could do, he should remain in Burma. Months of great pain and weak­ ness followed. Mrs. Case’s sureness of God and the radiance of her faith were an inspiration to all. Release came to her on December 28, 1939. Her husband and one son, Clarke, survive.

Rev. Charles P. Collett Rev. Charles P. Collett, 72, pastor of the Baptist Church in Reading, Michigan, died on Sunday, February 4, 1940. For over forty years he had been a minister. For twenty years he was pastor of the Emmanuel Church in Batavia, New York. He broke his pastorate there to serve for about two years as the pastor of the English Church at Khargpur, India, in the Bengal-Orissa Mission.

Mrs. Elias W . Kelly Mary Van Meter Kelly, M. D., retired, widow of Rev. Elias W. Kelly, Ph.D., died March 14, 1940, in Lawndale, California, at the home of her daughter. Mrs. Kelly was born July 22, 1852, in Bassein, Burma, the daughter of Rev. and Mrs. Henry L. Van Meter, missionaries to Burma. She attended the Mt. Holyoke Female Seminary, and sailed September 12, 1S85, designated for medical work among the Karens in Burma. She was married, March 20, 1886, to Rev. Elias W. Kelly of the American Bap­ tist Foreign Mission Society. They were transferred to Mandalay in 1886, as soon as Upper Burma was opened. In 1911, Mr. Kelly was ap­ pointed principal of Rangoon Baptist College, which became Judson Col­ lege under his direction. Mrs. Kelly was obliged to return to the United States twice on account of ill health, and was in this country at the time of Dr. Kelly’s sudden death in Rangoon in 1922.

Rev. George D. Josif, Ed.D. Word of the death of Dr. G. D. Josif, 49, of Burma, on March 14, 1940, came as a shock to friends of missions everywhere. Dr. and Mrs. Josif returned, in 1935, to begin their third term of service in Burma. He assumed large responsibility in the general educational work as educa­ tional director of the mission and superintendent of Cushing High 56 AMERICAN BAPTIST FOREIGN MISSION SOCIETY

School, Rangoon. In 1939 he was elected Mission Secretary in addition to his other duties. Dr. Josif was born July 20, 1891, in Reps, Transyl­ vania. He was graduated from North-Central College, Naperville, Illinois, and was married on June 20, 1919, to Miss Esther S. Wright. Appointed to foreign service on June 25, 1919, they sailed the following December. Their first service was at Pyinmana, the mission agricultural school, to assist during the furlough of B. C. Case. In January, 1922, they were transferred to the Baptist Normal School, Rangoon, where Mr. Josif became principal. In 1926, after furlough, they took over the general station work of both Rangoon and Pyapon, with residence in Rangoon. The variety of his assignments gave Dr. Josif an uncommonly wide knowledge of missionary work and conditions on the Burman field. He served, at one time or another, as Secretary of the Burma Christian Council and member of its Executive Committee; Burma member of the National Christian Council of India, Burma and Ceylon; General Secretary of Burma Sunday School Union and Director of the Daily Vacation Bible Schools in Burma. He was one of Burma’s representatives at the Madras Conference. Burma suffers a severe loss in his death.

Mrs. William H. LesUe Clara Hill Leslie, 75, retired, widow of Dr. William H. Leslie of Bel­ gian Congo, died in Hollywood, California, on September 23, 1939. Dr. and Mrs. Leslie had served as missionaries under the Foreign Society for nearly forty years. Dr. Leslie died on Christmas Day, 1935. Mrs. Leslie was born in Watsontown, Pennsylvania, May 29, 1864. Her preparation for missionary service was taken at the Baptist Institute for Christian Workers, Philadelphia. She was appointed to Banza Manteke under the Woman’s Society in May, 1895, and was married to Dr. Leslie of the Congo Mission in 1896. Together they went to open the new station of Vanga, in distinctly cannibal territory. There, faced by great perils and confronted by many obstacles, they worked diligently. Their first home, of mud and grass, served as a center for a medical work that soon reached into distant villages. Souls as well as bodies came under their healing ministry, and their activities began to bear fruit. In 1924 Dr. Leslie’s wide and varied services were recognized by the Belgian Government, and he was honored with the medal and decoration of the Chevalier de l’Ordre Royal du Lion. In 1928 Mrs. Leslie was cited for the same decoration, a signal distinction as the medal and decoration granted women usually differs. Four sons and two daughters survive her.

Mrs. John McLaurin Mary Bates McLaurin, widow of Rev. John McLaurin, D.D., of the South India Mission, died May 9, 1939. Retired from active service in 1913, she had lived for many years in India. Mrs. McLaurin was born in Banbridge, Ireland, in 1846. She was baptized in Cascade, Iowa, and was married in October, 1869. Appointed to missionary service in March, GENERAL REVIEW OF THE YEAR 57

1869, Mr. and Mrs. McLaurin sailed for India in December, designated to Ramapatnam, and two years later were transferred to Ongole. In 1874 they were released to open a new mission station for the Canadian Board and to establish the greatly needed theological school at Samalkota. Upon their return to Canada, Mr. McLaurin spent several years as a Secretary of the Canadian Baptist Mission Board. When restored to health, they returned to India in 1891 under the American Baptist Missionary Union, to do literary work for Telugu Christians. This work included the revis­ ing and printing of a new edition of the Telugu New Testament and the production of tracts, texts and articles. In 1912 ill health necessitated their return to the homeland, and in March, Dr. McLaurin died. At the time of her death Mrs. McLaurin was with one of her two daughters in India. Her son, John Bates McLaurin, is one of the executive secretaries of the Canadian Board.

William R. Morse, M.D. Dr. William R. Morse, missionary in West China for thirty years, died on November 11, 1939, in Brookline, Massachusetts. He was born in Lawrencetown, Nova Scotia, in August, 1874; was graduated from Acadia University in 1897 and from McGill University (M.D.) in 1902. Post­ graduate work in surgery at Harvard Medical School, Johns Hopkins, in anthropology in London and in the Peking Union Medical School, China, extended his training and interest. Appointed to medical mis­ sionary service, Dr. and Mrs. Morse sailed in October, 1909, and arrived in Suifu, West China, in January, 1910. Transferred to the faculty of the West China Union University at Chengtu in 1914, Dr. Morse served as Dean of the College of Medicine and Dentistry, Principal of the Bap­ tist College, Professor of Anatomy and Surgery as well as on the staffs of several Chengtu hospitals. Several times he served as President of the West China Border Research Society. One of his most effective con­ tributions has been the work with the eight anthropological expeditions among the aboriginal tribes of the Tibet-China borderland. Translations of medical works and various articles in leading Chinese journals added to his prestige. His book, Three Crosses in the Purple Mists, beautifully illustrated by Mrs. Morse, is described as “an adventure in medical edu­ cation under the eaves of the world.” In 1925 Dr. Morse was elected a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons. He held various honors in connection with his Chinese medical work. Dr. and Mrs. Morse arrived in America in August, 1937. Ill-health necessitated their retirement in 1938.

Mrs. Charles H. Tilden Grace Darling Tilden, retired, wife of Rev. Charles H. Tilden, died at her home in San Bernardino, California, July 30, 1939, after a prolonged illness. Bom on December 14, 1883, in Norwich, New York, she was graduated from the Teacher Training School, Oneonta Normal, New York. 58 AMERICAN BAPTIST FOREIGN MISSION SOCIETY

She was married, November 23, 1915, to Rev. C. H. Tilden, missionary to Assam under the American Baptist Foreign Mission Society. Mr. Tilden had served in Jorhat for one term and it was to this station they went in 1917. Their contribution to the upbuilding of the Jorhat Chris­ tian schools deserves special mention. Ill health necessitated their return to the homeland in 1922 and prevented their return to foreign service. Mr. Tilden has since been engaged in teaching work, having a chair in Philosophy and Psychology in the San Bernardino Junior College. In 1935 Mrs. Tilden suffered a stroke, making it impossible for her to con­ tinue the active church work in which her heart delighted.

Rev. John S. Timpany, M.D. Dr. John S. Timpany, 71, retired, of the South India Mission, died June 15, 1939, at Digby, Nova Scotia. Dr. Timpany was born in Nellore, India, July 22, 1868, son of Rev. and Mrs. A. V. Timpany, missionary pioneers of the American Baptist Foreign Mission Society. His college work was taken in Woodstock, Ontario; his medical work in Bellevue Medical Col­ lege, New York, and Bowdoin Medical School, Brunswick, Maine. Ap­ pointed to missionary service in January, 1892, and married in August, 1893, to Miss Eleanor Havey, they sailed to take up medical work in the great and needy Hanumakonda field, South India. For thirty years they served the cause of Christ in medical and evangelistic service from this one station. Thousands of people came to know and love them and to rely on their care. Several branch dispensaries, to minister to the sick among the distant villages, were started under Dr. Timpany’s supervision. Dr. and Mrs. Timpany returned to the homeland for retirement in 1924.

Mrs. Willis F. Thomas Emma Upham Thomas, 84, widow of Rev. W. F. Thomas, D.D., of Burma, died in Fall River, Massachusetts, on July 13, 1939. Mrs. Thomas was born January 3, 1855, in Wakefield, Massachusetts. A graduate of the Wakefield High School she taught for several years in the public schools of the town prior to her appointment to foreign mission service. In May, 1880, she went to Burma, under the Woman’s American Baptist Foreign Mission Society, designated to evangelistic and educational work at Toungoo. Two years later she was married to Rev. W. F. Thomas, of the Karen Mission, Henzada. With Mr. Thomas, son of pioneer Karen missionaries, she continued service in that station. They were trans­ ferred to Sandoway in 1883 and gave a full term of service among the Chins. In 1893 they removed to Rangoon and later Insein where Mr. Thomas supervised Burmese work both in the Seminary and in that area. As president of the Karen Seminary he served as a great force in theo­ logical training. In 1921 they were appointed general evangelists for all Burma, with headquarters in Rangoon. The fluency with which Mr. Thomas spoke and interpreted Karen, Burmese, Chin and English was a marvel to all who heard him. Mrs. Thomas’ contribution to mission work GENERAL REVIEW OF THE YEAR 59 was singularly vital. She gave herself unstintedly as a missionary wife and her service was no less significant. Her ready wit and keen apprecia­ tion of life made her a happy and treasured companion. Mr. Thomas died in Burma on April 4, 1925.

The Board also records the death of a faithful friend of missions.

Rev. M. A. Levy, D.D. Rev. M. A. Levy, D.D., Corresponding Secretary of the Northern Bap­ tist Convention, died in Altoona, Pennsylvania, on November 30, 1939. Dr. Levy held several important pastorates in the eastern part of the country, and was at one time a member of the Foreign Board where he rendered unusually effective service. The Foreign Mission Society has lost a valued and trusted friend, and the denomination a noble and faith­ ful servant.

HOME FOR MISSIONARIES’ CHILDREN Climatic conditions and limited educational opportunities fre­ quently make it advisable for the children of missionaries to remain in the United States while their parents are abroad. The Fannie Doane Home at Granville, Ohio, is maintained for these young people. This year there has been a fine group of twenty- five ranging in age from pre-school to seniors in high school. Their parents are working in many lands. Miss Maud Brook, the superintendent, has given faithful service and has had capable assistance from Miss Lorna Wearing, Miss Ethel Bacon and others on the staff.

HOMES FOR MISSIONARIES For the first time in many years the three furnished residences in Granville, Ohio, maintained by the Society for the use of mis­ sionaries on furlough, have been vacant part of the time. The prospects are, however, that they will all be used during the coming year. In addition to the Granville houses, apartments for furlough use are located in Newton Center and Malden, Massa­ chusetts. Both the houses and the apartments are available at reasonable rentals. They are -near good schools, in friendly church surroundings and offer many advantages to the mis­ sionary family desirous of having a permanent headquarters during the period of residence in this country. 60 AMERICAN BAPTIST FOREIGN MISSION SOCIETY

FIVE MAJOR PROBLEMS FACING THE BOARD An Increase in Mission Staff This is the most urgent problem facing the Board. The net decrease has been at the average rate of eleven units per year for the last six years. The known losses in 1940-1941 are nine units, and no estimate can be made of those who will drop out because of unexpected illness or other contingencies. Provision can be made for only three new units. The preceding paragraphs in this report on “Tragic Staff Situation on the Foreign Field” and “ Emissaries of Life” give additional information on the acute and pressing nature of this need.

An Increase in Field Salaries Rising living costs on most fields make this an immediate problem. Reports from widely separated families indicate that it is a consideration which cannot be safely postponed.

An Increase in Appropriations for W ork and Equipment Many missionaries could do a far more effective work if they were able to modernize their equipment and if it were possible to provide such things as automobiles, visual materials and funds for literature production.

A Provision for Lay Workers’ Pensions The church has been a leader in pronouncements on matters in­ volving* social justice and responsibility. Either under the govern­ ment plan or by special arrangement the Board must find the funds for discharging its obligation to lay employees in the home office.

The Liquidation of the Debt Although the debt has been reduced substantially below the high point of a year ago, it is still a heavy obligation. Not until it is completely liquidated with the consequent saving in interest can the building of an advance program receive the attention it de­ serves. The exact amount of the debt at the close of the current fiscal year will appear in the Financial Review of the year in the final edition of this report. GENERAL REVIEW OF THE YEAR 61

BY FORCE OR BY LOVE? One of the world’s famous dictators made the following state­ ment during the course of an address on an occasion which cele­ brated the twentieth anniversary of his accession to power. “No matter how things go we wish to hear no more about brotherhood, sisterhood, cousins and such other bastard relationships, because relationships between states are relations of force, and these relations of force are the determining elements of their policy .” Such a philosophy has led the world to war. There is another attitude— one which reaches over racial, na­ tional and linguistic boundaries. It is the one which led men and women of many colors and nationalities to Jerusalem and Madras and united them under one leader, Jesus Christ. W e who put faith in this name believe with Paul that love, not force, should be the key to relationships between nations. Christian love cannot govern until individuals have glimpsed its full mean­ ing. With hate and war rampant in the world the responsibility of those who preach this message becomes the greater. Is the future to be ruled by brute force or by Christian love? " Love is very patient, very kind. Love knows no jealousy; love makes no parade, gives itself no airs, is never rude, never selfish, never irritated, never resentful; love is never glad when others go wrong; love is gladdened by goodness, always slow to expose, always eager to believe the best, always hopeful, always patient” (1 Cor. 13:5-7, Moffatt).

FINANCIAL REVIEW OF THE YEAR

FINANCIAL REVIEW OF THE YEAR

OUTCOME OF THE YEAR The outcome of the fiscal year ended on April 30, 1940, was a severe disappointment. Although anticipating throughout the year receipts sufficient to cover the authorized budget expendi­ tures and possibly yield a small surplus to apply on the accumu­ lated deficit of the Society, the Board is compelled to report a falling off in contributions from the denomination of 10.45 per cent as compared with the previous year, and a resulting increase in the accumulated deficit. The total .income for the year was $923,129.61 and the total expenditures $935,182.86, resulting in a deficiency for the year of $12,053.25. The accumulated deficit of $142,479.76 reported at May 1, 1939, was reduced by con­ tributions and net savings in previous budgets to $133,654.28. Adding the deficiency for the year just closed of $12,053.25, the accumulated deficiency at April 30, 1940, becomes $145,707.53.

SUMMARY OF INCOME AND BUDGET APPROPRIATIONS The receipts on account of the regular budget from sources other than donations were $388,294.35, as compared with the budget estimate of $385,000, and from donations $436,684.49, making a total of $824,978.84. The actual expenditures and appropriations amounted to $837,032.09, a total very closely approximating the authorized spending budget of $837,500. The current budget deficit of $12,053.25 therefore is due entirely to the decreased donation receipts which were forecast in the spend­ ing budget on a most conservative basis when compared with last year’s receipts.

RECEIPTS

Income from Sources Outside Donations Income from sources other than donations amounted to $388,294.35 as compared with $401,601.32 in 1938-1939, a de­ crease of $13,306.97. Income from the investments of permanent funds was $281,225.77 as compared with $279,303.34, the receipts 65 66 AMERICAN BAPTIST FOREIGN MISSION SOCIETY

for 1938-1939. The small increase is accounted for by the receipt of unexpected partial interest payments on defaulted railroad bonds. The amount transferred from the matured special gift agreements shows a decrease of $10,000 as compared with last year. The legacy reserves and the miscellaneous receipts were substantially the same as a year ago. The actual receipts from sources outside donations of $388,294.35 correspond very closely with the budget estimates of $385,000.

Donations— Gifts from Churches and Individuals The donation receipts of $436,684.49 show a serious decline when compared with last year’s total of $487,652.58 and the allot­ ment in the Unified Budget of $506,320. Gifts forwarded to the Treasury Department were $48,023.42, an amount almost identical with the receipts of the preceding year of $48,449.66. Contribu­ tions through the Council on Finance and Promotion were $389,979.65 as compared with last year’s receipts of $440,410.54, a decline of $50,430.89. The undesignated and designated receipts as compared with last year are shown below: 1940 1939 Decrease Undesignated $239,594.06 $278,195.22 $38,601.16 Designated . 197,090.43 209,457.36 12,366.93

$436,684.49 $487,652.58 $50,968.09

The Board anticipated that it would experience some reduction in donation receipts, for its expectancy of undesignated receipts was reduced from $299,000, its share of a year ago, to $279,000. Throughout the year and up until the final distribution of the Council on Finance and Promotion, the Unified Budget receipts closely approximated those of a year ago. The April receipts on the Unified Budget decreased considerably as compared with a year ago. The total undesignated money did not exceed the amount of $1,900,000. Therefore no benefit was received from the recom­ mendation of the Finance Committee of the Northern Baptist Convention made at Los Angeles to the effect that “when the full $1,900,000 of undesignated money has been raised the next $17,000 of undesignated money to be received shall be allotted FINANCIAL REVIEW OF THE YEAR 67 to the American Baptist Foreign Mission Society in addition to its portion of the $1,900,000 of undesignated money.” The failure of the Society to receive this additional allotment from undesignated receipts approved by the Finance Committee of the Northern Baptist Convention in Los Angeles is a very serious matter, for it makes it impossible for the Board to adhere to its original debt liquidation program. The donation receipts of $436,684.49 for the year ended April 30, 1940, are less than those received in any year since 1906-1907, when the amount received was $435,228.26. This creates a situation to which the Board must immediately address itself if the work on the foreign field is to be kept from rapid disintegration.

BUDGET APPROPRIATIONS The regular budget appropriations and expenditures amount to $837,032.09 as compared with the authorized budget of $837,500. The 1938-1939 budget was $885,000. The very serious reduction of $47,500 in the authorized spending budget of the current year necessitated the withholding of greatly needed replacements of missionary staff, the decreasing of the moneys available for the work on the several fields and a lessened budget for administra­ tion in America. Correspondence received throughout the year has clearly revealed that the price paid in terms of missionary life and work for the reduced budget has been exceedingly high. The appropriation for missionary salaries has amounted to $356,552.94 as compared with $365,008.74 for 1938-1939. The saving of $8,455.80 is partially explained by death and retirement of the number of active missionaries from 360 a year ago to 354 for the year just closed. This number will be further reduced to 338 in the 1940-1941 budget. A study of the Society’s records as far back as 1900 does not reveal any year during this forty-year period when there were so few active missionary families under appointment as there will be during the fiscal year 1940-1941. Appropriations were made for the sending of four families and one single missionary to the fields. Three families and one single man will not sail until after the Convention at Atlantic City, New Jersey. War conditions have caused foreign exchange problems in Burma, India, China, Japan, and the Congo. The Board has a 68 AMERICAN BAPTIST FOREIGN MISSION SOCIETY policy somewhat similar to that in effect in other Foreign Mission Boards of adjusting the amount of field salary which the mis­ sionary receives in local currency during periods of fluctuating exchange rates. It has been found that this policy provides the missionary with a basis of salary payment that is fairly stable and is designed to offset the varying cost of living under chang­ ing conditions. In Burma, India, China, and Japan, the Board is receiving some benefit from this exchange adjustment, while in the Belgian Congo it is incurring a loss. Any gains or losses in exchange as a result of this procedure are applied against the total budget appropriation. The Board recognizes, however, that the present rate of missionaries’ salaries in many of the fields is too low, and this is one of its most pressing financial problems. A small amount of temporary relief was granted to the mission­ aries by a special three per cent addition to the field salaries. This amount was made available in one payment without com­ mitment as to the future, and does not solve the problem facing the Board of providing a subsistence salary to the missionaries on several of the fields. The mission work appropriation must be authorized in Feb­ ruary each year for the fiscal year commencing May 1. This means that foreign exchange rates must be estimated practically fifteen months in advance. The war in Europe, as well as the continued conflict in the Far East, has caused the currency of all countries in which the Society has work, with the exception of the Philippines, to depreciate in terms of United States dollars. The mission treasurers’ reports for several mission fields, which ordinarily would have been received prior to the close of the fiscal year, have been delayed by war conditions. It is estimated that when these have been received and reconciled to the Treas­ urer’s accounts in New York, there will be an exchange credit in addition to the $10,000 included in the budget. The exact amount cannot be determined until early fall, when the April 30 reports will have been received from the mission treasurers, and it will at that time be credited, in accordance with the Board’s policy, to the Reserve for possible fluctuations in foreign exchange. This reserve stood at $24,437.90 on April 30 and is in reality a very small amount when compared with the foreign exchange risk to FINANCIAL REVIEW OF THE YEAR 69 which the Board is constantly subject, more acute just now than ever because of present world conditions.

Home Expenditures The total home expenditures for the year were $125,849.63. This represents a reduction of $11,086.45 as compared with last year’s total of $136,936.08. The decrease is accounted for by changes in the secretarial staff and rigid economy in all items of home expense. Many business organizations are finding that present economic conditions make it necessary to spend a larger proportion of their income on overhead expense. Foreign Mis­ sion Boards as a whole are similarly affected. We are likewise finding that the supervision and accounting for invested funds totaling almost $9,450,000, together with the work in Burma, India, China, Japan, the Philippines and the Belgian Congo with all the foreign exchange and administrative problems that exist today, require more detailed correspondence and careful planning than were required several years ago with a larger missionary staff.

Specific Budget Receipts and expenditures in the specific budget amounted to $98,150.77, a net increase of $14,753.82 as compared with the total for 1938-1939. Both the direct contributions and the appro­ priations from Designated Temporary Funds show an increase over the previous year, but this is partly offset by a considerable decrease in receipts for the China Emergency Fund, solicitations for this fund having ceased two years ago. Approximately one- half of the transfers from Designated Temporary Funds came from the Coles Memorial and Estate Income Account and were applied toward the Coles projects in South India. The major part of the remainder represents appropriations from the income from funds which are held for special purposes. The increase in direct receipts and the correspondingly larger amount applied to Land, Buildings, and Equipment reflect the receipt of a generous gift toward the erection of an addition to the Fannie Doane Home for Missionaries’ Children at Granville, Ohio. 70 AMERICAN BAPTIST FOREIGN MISSION SOCIETY

INVESTMENT OF PERMANENT FUNDS The financial reviews of the last few years have set forth in considerable detail the perplexing problems involved in caring for the investments which cover the permanent, the annuity, and the designated funds of the Society which total $9,428,151.74. These problems have increased during the past year as money rates have further decreased, thus making it possible for many corporations to refinance their bonded indebtedness at greatly reduced interest rates. The continued cheapening of money con­ cerned the Society in that its security portfolio under such con­ ditions produces less and less income for its missionary work. This report is being written early in May and a security quota­ tion sheet shows United States Treasury Bonds with a 2% per cent coupon and maturing in 1951 selling at 109 to yield 1.93 per cent. Moody’s bond averages show that the yield on the highest grade utility bonds is 2.75 per cent and the next highest grade is 2.88 per cent. During the past year, securities called or sold have amounted to $1,549,802.59 and purchases of investments have amounted to $1,347,733.11. Both of these totals are unusually large for a permanent fund of the size of the Society’s, and indicate something of the abnormal period through which we are passing. In addition to the difficulties created by cheap money, the kind of security (i. e., railroad, industrial, public utility or mortgages to be purchased) has been given a great deal of thought and study. The following is a brief summary of a few of the items the com­ mittee must consider in determining new investments. The rail­ roads have many unsolved problems and most investors would pre­ fer to decrease their total investment in the railroads rather than to increase it. There are a very limited number of high grade industrial bonds available, many of the better companies having paid off or refinanced their bonded indebtedness by bank loans. New mortgage loans are difficult to obtain on a satisfactory basis. This leaves available the securities of public utilities as an invest­ ment medium and most of the high grade utilities have refinanced their bonded indebtedness with interest coupons at 3, 3J4, or Zl/ 2 per cent. The Finance Committee and its subcommittee on investments FINANCIAL REVIEW OF THE YEAR 71 have tried throughout the year to maintain a constant watchful­ ness over all securities held by the Society. The Investment Committee has met frequently to study economic trends affecting the investments as a whole and to review individual securities. Many individual items are under constant critical examination, and the entire list is studied carefully at least four times a year. For many years the Society has followed the policy of main­ taining a portfolio of high grade bonds. The annual reports showing the condition of the investments of the permanent funds over a period of years have justified this policy. Money rates are lower than they have been in 75 years. The committee recognizes that a V/2 per cent bond selling today at 110 might sell, on the basis of money rates alone, at 84, if the income return on invested funds should again return to the normal rate of the last 50 years of approximately A l/> per cent. How to guard against this possible loss of almost 25 points or $250 on each $1,000 bond, is a problem facing every institution with an investment portfolio. The Investment Committee believes that it is necessary to keep a part of the Society’s funds in short term investments, and the balance wherever possible in spaced maturi­ ties, so that some money will be available for reinvestment each year. It recognizes that this program will not entirely offset the decline in principal on these so-called low coupon bonds, but hopes that over a period of years it will partially offset this loss. Whether this program of investing in high grade bonds, with the resulting difficulty of procuring diversified investments, and the effort being made to have funds available for reinvestment in a possible period of higher interest rates, will protect the per­ manent funds of the Society under present economic and war conditions is a problem that is giving the Finance and Investment Committees grave concern. The Investment Committee will continue to follow changing circumstances both economic and financial and will present to the Finance Committee and Board a review of their studies from time to time throughout the com­ ing year. Various studies are kept constantly before the committee, a few of which are briefly summarized in the following paragraphs. The relationship of book and market values on bonds of rail- 72 AMERICAN BAPTIST FOREIGN MISSION SOCIETY road, public utility, and industrial companies is expressed in per­ centage form for the last four years.

Per cent of Per cent of Per cent of Per cent of Book Value Book Value Book Value Book Value April 30, 1937 April 30, 1938 April 30, 1939 April 30, 1940 Unrestricted Investments .. 100.95 97.87 99.93 100.30 Restricted Investments ____ 104.04 102.11 105.08 105.07 Annuity Investments ...... 97.87 94.96 97.15 97.85 All Bond Investments ...... 102.60 100.31 103.00 103.14

Detailed analysis of the book and market values shows that the only group of bonds on which the market values are less than the book values is the railroads. This is to be expected, for since 1929 there have been placed in receivership or trusteeship 110 railroad companies. The companies operate over 80,000 miles of road which is over a third of the mileage in the United States and represents well over one-quarter of the total United States railroad capitalization. The quality of the Society’s investments is shown by the per­ centage of Investments in Aaa and Aa and A grade bonds.

1936 1937 1938 1939 1940 Unrestricted Investments ... 92.75 92.65 93.70 92.73 85.41 Restricted Investments. 82.11 85.06 89.84 80.87 79.82 Annuity Investments ...... 89.18 84.83 87.07 80.63 77.48

Many of the Society’s bonds now rated Baa and lower, espe­ cially the railroads, had a higher rating when they were pur­ chased, Aa.or A ; also many agencies have adopted a more con­ servative policy in determining their ratings. For example, in June, 1938, and again in August, 1939, Moody’s Investors Ser­ vice reduced the ratings on all railroad bonds by at least one grade. This is largely due to a more conservative attitude toward railroad bonds under present economic conditions and accounts almost entirely for the lower percentage this year of bonds with an A rating or better in Unrestricted, Restricted, and Annuity Investments. All securities with a Baa rating, or less, are con­ stantly reviewed by the committee. It is its policy to change to a higher grade as soon as this can be done without too great a loss of principal. FINANCIAL REVIEW OF THE YEAR 73

Real Estate and Mortgages The Foreign Mission Realty Corporation was organized on August 21, 1933, to take title to the properties which the Society found it necessary to foreclose. It holds title to all properties taken over by the Society either on foreclosure or by purchase of deeds to the properties in lieu of foreclosure. The entire stock of the Foreign Mission Realty Corporation is held by the Society. The Corporation’s fiscal year is the calendar year, and all state­ ments in the following paragraphs are for the year ended De­ cember 31, 1939. The Corporation owns eighteen pieces of real estate with a book value of $244,345.06. Last year the properties earned approximately 3 % per cent. In the late fall, several vacancies occurred and collection of rent became more difficult. The desire of many people to move to the newer apartment houses and the erection of low rental homes and apartments with the aid of municipal and federal funds have greatly increased the problems of mortgage and property management. Present indications are that the earnings on the eighteen properties will in all probability show a decline as compared with last year. All properties are inspected several times a year, and have recently been studied very carefully to ascertain whether there are any violations against them under the New York City Mul­ tiple Dwelling Law, as this law imposes serious personal liabilities on directors and trustees of organizations with real estate in­ vestments. It is their general policy to remove all fire violations under the Multiple Dwelling Law, keep all properties in good repair, to be fully insured for fire and public liability, and to employ every means to obtain a reduction in tax assessments. The Directors of the Corporation believe that the real estate should not be held as a permanent investment, but should be sold as soon as a fair price can be obtained. The Corporation has clearly set aside on its records all of the properties belonging to the Society's “ Investments of Reserve for ■Special Gift Agreements with Life Annuity Return” and these are kept entirely separate in segregated accounts. The mortgage investments of the Society on December 31, 1939, 74 AMERICAN BAPTIST FOREIGN MISSION SOCIETY

were seventy-five in number with a par value of $1,133,844.14, on which the average interest return was 4.64 per cent. If we add to this amount the earnings of the eighteen pieces of real estate, title to which is held by the Corporation, the four assignments of rents, and two mortgages under foreclosure, the total of the principal amount is $1,468,120.05, on which income of $66,371.58, or a return of 4.52 per cent on all mortgages, real estate, and properties held under assignment and foreclosure, was received during the past calendar year. On the seventy-five mortgages there were none with interest arrears of six months or more; and except for one mortgage there were no tax arrears of six months or more.

CHANGES IN PERMANENT FUNDS Permanent funds held by the Society, including Reserves for Possible Losses on Investment, showed an increase during the year of $112,041.31, making a total on April 30, 1940, of $7,775,400.37.

RESERVE FOR SPECIAL GIFT AGREEMENTS WITH LIFE ANNUITY RETURN The Society maintains a reserve, fully adequate under the laws of the State of New York, for the payment of the life annuities contracted for on all outstanding agreements. The reserve at the beginning of the year was $1,223,124.40, to which has been added 63 new gifts amounting to $102,128.63. The new agree­ ments issued show an increase over last year. These agreements were issued to residents of 20 states and 35 of the 63 agreements issued were to persons already holding annuities. The reserve has been credited with investment income to the amount of $40,942.31. Matured annuities to December 31, 1939, of $31,884.27 and net credit adjustments of $5,198.28 to April 30, 1940, have withdrawn $26,685.99 from the Reserve. Payments to annuitants amounting to $119,252.47 have also been charged to the reserve. As a net result of the transactions of the year, the reserve stood at $1,220,256.78 on April 30, 1940. For several years the State of New York has been considering revising the Insurance Law as related to charitable and religious organizations issuing annuity agreements. A new Insurance Law of the State of New York was finally adopted and became effec­ tive on January 1, 1940. A brief resume of the relationship of this law to the Society is as follows: 1. A permit must be obtained to issue annuity agreements after January 1, 1940, which will authorize the Society to receive gifts of money conditioned upon, or in return for, its agreement to pay an annuity to the donor or his nominee and make and carry out such annuity agreement. (This permit has been received.) 2. The Society must file with the Superintendent of Insurance copies of its form of agreement with the annuitant and a schedule of its maximum annuity rates, which shall be computed on a basis of the annuity standard adopted for the calculation of reserves, such rates to provide a return to the Society, upon the death of the annuitant, of a residue at least equal to one-half of the original gift for such annuity, which means a 50 per cent residuum. 3. Each organization must maintain assets at least equal to reserves on its outstanding agreements, calculated in accordance 76 AMERICAN BAPTIST FOREIGN MISSION SOCIETY with certain specific provisions of the law, and a surplus of 10 per cent of such reserves. (A computation of the Society’s reserve has been made by an actuary as at November 30, 1939, and it shows that the reserve is adequate.) 4. The investments of the annuity reserve must be only in securities that are authorized for life insurance companies and a period of ten years is provided in which to change all non- conforming securities to those approved. All new investments must conform to those approved. 5. Assets shall be segregated as separate and distinct funds independent of all other funds of said organization or association and shall not be applied to the payment of debts and obligations of the corporation or association nor for any purpose other than the annuity benefits. (The Society’s annuity assets have been so segregated for many years and are shown as separate and distinct funds on the Balance Sheet.) These various provisions of the New York State law assure the annuitant of every possible protection, and the Board on November 20, 1939, adopted a resolution which was forwarded to the Superintendent of Insurance of the State of New York covering all of these various points. The Society has been fol­ lowing for many years a general plan of administering the an­ nuity agreements similar to that now incorporated in the New York State law. The one change that the new plan requires is that from January 1, 1940, all matured annuity agreements be left credited to the Reserve Account. However, each year an actu­ arial computation is to be made, and based upon this a portion of the reserve might be released each year and made available for current budget purposes. The only variation from the present procedure in this regard is that prior to January 1, 1940, the Society was enabled to release for budget purposes the share accruing to the individual agreement immediately upon its ma­ turity. The various national organizations agreed that while they were studying the annuity procedure the rates of annuity pay­ ment should also receive attention. With the decline in interest rates in recent years it was felt by many that the present annuity rates were too high. Mr. H. Pierson Hammond, Actuary for FINANCIAL REVIEW OF THE YEAR 77

The Ministers and Missionaries Benefit Board, made an exhaus­ tive study of the present rates in light of the rate of income avail­ able on investments and a study of Baptist mortality. This led to the adoption of new annuity rates by all of the National So­ cieties as of January 1, 1940. These rates comply with the pro­ visions of the New York State Insurance Law. A copy of the annuity rates can be obtained by addressing a request to the Home Secretary.

BANK BORROWINGS AND THE FIVE-YEAR PROGRAM Following the close of the fiscal year on April 30, 1939, the bank borrowings were reduced to $125,000. The very substantial reduction in the Society’s debt last year permitted this to be accomplished. For the first time since the fiscal year 1932-1933, the Society has not had to borrow for current expenses during the year. This reduction in bank borrowing from $250,000 at the close of last year has correspondingly lessened the interest paid on funds borrowed from $6,258.58 to $3,756.45, a saving of $2,502.13. The original Five-Year Program called for the Society to be out of debt on April 30, 1941, a year hence. The net increase in the debt during the current year amounted to $3,227.77, making the accumulated debt of April 30, 1940, $145,707.53. It will be impossible to adhere to the original Five-Year Program and have the remaining debt entirely liquidated on next April 30. To ac­ complish this would spell disaster to the work abroad, for the decrease in budget expenditures which the Board has already put into effect has caused untold hardships on missionaries and nationals. It is the purpose of the Board to pay off the debt of $145,707.53 as promptly as possible, but further reductions in the budget at this time must not be made if the work of the Society is to be conserved. The Board, therefore, must find ways and means of gradually liquidating the debt over the next two or three years.

RECEIPTS FROM LEGACIES The total receipts from legacies during the year was $62,236.96 of which $21,499.26 was designated for permanent funds and 78 AMERICAN BAPTIST FOREIGN MISSION SOCIETY

other purposes and $40,737.70 was undesignated. The latter amount is below the average receipts for the last three years. There was transferred to budget income the amount of $50,000. This resulted in a reduction of the reserve which stood at $128,241.41 on April 30, 1940. Among the larger legacies re­ ceived during the year are the following:

U ndesignated Abel J. B arlow ...... $3,142.50 D. K. Edwards...... $2,000.00 Amy Hope Boville ...... 5,000.00 ArabellaM. H e w s 1,000.00 Ella B.

MATURED SPECIAL GIFT AGREEMENTS Matured special gift agreements amounted to $31,884.27, of which $1,072.13 was designated and the balance undesignated. The undesignated maturities were far below the average of the last five years of approximately $43,000. Agreements maturing from May 1, 1939, to December 31, 1939, amounting to $10,861.79, were transferred to the equalization reserve. The balance representing maturities from January 1 to April 30, 1940, have been held in the reserve for special gift agreements for reasons explained in a preceding paragraph. On May 1, 1939, the matured special gift agreement reserve balance was $50,293.82. It was increased by maturities prior to January 1, 1940, and other adjustments, to $60,869.76 and reduced by transfers to permanent funds of $1,072.13 and appropriations to the current budget of $30,000, leaving a balance in the Reserve on April 30, 1940, of $29,797.63. The balance is $202.37 less than the appropriation of $30,000 planned for from this Reserve in the 1940-1941 budget.

We have examined the accounts of the A m e r i c a n B a p t i s t F o r e ig n M i s s i o n S o c ie t y kept at its home office in New York as at April 30, 1940. Cash on hand was counted and balances in banks were confirmed by direct correspondence with the respective depositaries; securities owned were accounted for either by certified lists received from the custodians thereof or by inspection. The investments in bonds, stocks, and mortgages (including mortgages and notes received with respect to properties held by the Foreign Mission Realty Corporation, the entire capital stock of which is owned by the Society) are carried in the Society’s records at amounts which represent principally cost or values assigned thereto by the Society, which values do not exceed the estimated values at time of acquisition. We are informed that in the opinion of the Society’s Investment Committee sufficient pro­ vision has been made for possible losses on investments. 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. We made a test review of such reports to establish the receipt by such mission treasurers of the appropriation remittances to them as shown in the accounts at New York, 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 explanations, the appended balance sheet, statement of income and budget appropriations, and deficiency of income account set forth the position of the Society at April 30, 1940, and its fiscal operations for the year then ended.

EUROPE

The Society maintains co-operative relationships with autonomous Baptist organi­ zations in eight countries in Europe as follows: Czecho-Slovakia, 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. In view of present war developments the Society finds it increasingly difficult to maintain a close fellowship with European Baptists. Special Representative for Europe: Rev. W . O. Lewis, D.D.

MINUTES OF THE ONE-HUNDRED- TWENTY-SIXTH ANNUAL MEETING

A t l a n t ic C i t y , N e w Je r s e y , M a y 25, 1940

The American Baptist Foreign Mission Society, in pursuance to a call issued by the Recording Secretary and published in the denominational press, convened in Atlantic City, N. J., May 25, 1940, for its one-hundred-twenty-sixth annual meeting, the ses­ sions being held as heretofore in connection with the meetings of the Northern Baptist Convention. The meeting was called to order by the President, Rev. M. J. Twomey, D.D., at 9.30 a. m. After a period of silent prayer for missionaries in all parts of the world, the President offered prayer. On motion of Secretary D. M. Albaugh, it was

Voted: That the minutes of the one-hundred-twenty-fifth annual meet­ ing of the Society held June 24, 1939, in Los Angeles, Calif., as printed on pages 141-142 in the Annual Report of the Society for 1939, be approved. In harmony with the provision in the By-Laws, Secretary D. M. Albaugh presented the Annual Report of the Society for 1940, stating that it had been bound with reports of other societies of the Northern Baptist Convention and distributed to delegates upon registration. On motion of Secretary D. M. Albaugh, it was

Voted: That the One-hundred-twenty-sixth Annual Report of the So­ ciety be received. Rev. Harry Freda, Rochester, N. Y., Chairman of the Com­ mittee on Nominations of the Northern Baptist Convention, which was also the Nominating Committee of the Society, presented the following nominations:

The program of the Northern Baptist Convention which con­ vened in Atlantic City, N. J., May 21-26, 1940, included sessions in which foreign mission work and problems were presented to the Convention. For the purpose of recording all activities of the Society the proceedings in which the work of the Society had a distinctive part are incorporated in these records. An unusual feature of the Convention program was the pro­ vision for panel discussions to be held Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday afternoons. These discussions covered a wide range of subjects but most important from the point of view of the Foreign Mission Society was the one on “World Missions,” led by Rev. E. V. Pierce, D.D., a member of the Board of Managers. Dr. Pierce introduced a number of missionaries and outstanding ANNUAL MEETING 161 leaders in missionary thought who spoke and led in discussion. Provision was also made for questions from the floor. At the morning session, Thursday, May 23, Dr. A. L. Miller, Chairman of the Board of Managers, briefly reviewed the year 1939-1940, calling special attention to some of the opportunities which the Society faces in its work abroad and the significant features in the Annual Report. On Friday, May 24, Dr. W. O. Lewis, formerly Secretary for the work in Europe and now General Secretary of the Baptist World Alliance, gave an address on the position of Baptists in a Europe which is at war. The regular foreign mission study classes were conducted on Friday and Saturday mornings by Foreign Secretary J. W- Decker. He used the textbooks, Dangerous Opportunities and Stand By for China. On Sunday morning, May 26, Rev. J. H. Telford, missionary to the Lahu and Wa people in Burma, led the Men’s Bible Class, giving a stimulating message under the theme “Animistic Hill Tribes Find God.” The Sunday afternoon program emphasized the foreign mission work of the Convention. The delegates listened to an electrical transcription of the life of Adoniram Judson. This was followed by an address by Home Secretary P. H. J. Lerrigo on “ Things Which Thou Knowest Not,” in which he called attention to some of the trends which had taken place since the organization of the Northern Baptist Convention, the serious problems which face the Foreign Mission Societies at the present time, and certain possi­ bilities for enlarging the scope of service in a distressed world. The following missionaries spoke on the theme “'What We Have Seen and Heard” : Rev. J. Martin England, of Burma; Miss Helen M. Benjamin, of India; Dr. Henry S. Waters, of the Philippines; Miss L. Emma Brodbeck, of China, and Rev. Lewis A. Brown, of the Congo. These brief addresses were followed by the message from Rev. Henry Pitney Van Dusen on “ World Christianity Today.” Dr. Van Dusen brought striking illustra­ tions of the unique contribution which is made by the Christian missionary enterprise gleaned from his recent trip abroad during 162 AMERICAN BAPTIST FOREIGN MISSION SOCIETY which his whole conception as to the value of this work had been changed. A joint commission service for newly appointed missionaries was held Sunday evening. Associate Secretary J. R. Wilson intro­ duced the following appointees of this Board: Rev. Maurice Blanchard, Rev. and Mrs. P. A. Collyer, Rev. and Mrs. P. W. Geary, Rev. and Mrs. H. G. Tegenfeldt, Rev. and Mrs. R. W. Schaefer. After the missionaries of all the sending boards had been presented, the Convention closed with a beautiful candle­ light service built around the theme of carrying the “ light” to all parts of the world.
