PART ». INCREASE AND SHORTAGE. THE REPORT FOR THE YEAR 1921. HE Baptist Missionary Society gratefully reports for the year T 1921 its greatest success in its chief work. There were 4,461 baptisms, the largest number ever regis­ tered in a single year since the founding of the Society one hundred and thirty years ago, and this in spite of the fact that on the Lower Congo, especially in the Wathen district, the work, owing to the “ Prophet Movement,” was practically at a standstill. In addition to those who were baptized there are also thousands of candidates and enquirers under instruction. We are assured therefore that God’s seed is coming to God’s harvest, and the first call is for abundant praise. Praise also befits us when we consider the new missionaries who volunteered for the great adventure. The number was not so large as in some former years, not nearly large enough to meet the need, but there was never greater evidence of the divine call and equipment. The B.M.S. seeks to send forth to the field only those who go at Christ’s bidding, who have a living experience of His compelling grace, a triumphant faith in His holy Gospel, and a devoted loyalty to His Name, His Word, and His Holy Spirit.* No others. It lays down no condition precedent to the offer of service ; it bars none whom the Lord has chosen from the work to which they feel they are called, but with sedulous care it seeks only to commission those who have the real message, and seem likely to be able, spiritually, intellectually and physically, to deliver it. Thirty-four such men and women were accepted during the year. The report as to finance is not so cheering. In commending Gift and Self Denial Week to the churches it was stated that if the offerings of that week reached the level of the year before last (last year being exceptional owing to the appeal of the Baptist United Fund) and if the general contributions of the churches equalled last year,, the financial year would probably close without a deficit. Neither of these conditions was fulfilled. The Gift and Self Denial Week, so far from helping to the extent of the year before last, when a sum of £14,389twas given, did not even equal last year, with its £8,407. This year the return was only £7,839. For the gifts which make up 5 6 ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTIETH ANNUAL REPORT. [1 9 2 2 . the total the Committee are very grateful, and considering the state of industry the wonder is that so much has been given ; but from the point of view of the exchequer the result is disappointing. Then as the final contributions of the churches and auxiliaries came in during the last fortnight, thejfrequent regret was expressed that, owing to the'difficulties of the time, there was a slight reduction in the amount. This repeated makes a large difference in the total, since few have^been able to rejoice in any increase of gifts. The Welsh churches appear to have been the worst sufferers. The result was a deficit of £7,203. The balance remaining from the English Baptist United Fund had all been absorbed, and a generous contribution of £3,500 from the Scottish United Fund was included, and yet this deficit remained. The Women’s Missionary Association received more and yet had a deficiency of £3,993 on the year’s accounts. The Medical Mission Auxiliary, though receiving more, had also an adverse balance of £2,753. Happily the Bible Translation and Literature Auxiliary, helped by a generous legacy received during the year, had been able to pay its way. In addition to the conditions at home, the silver exchange had continued to be a difficulty. In India, happily, the rupee is now down to its normal value, though for the early months of the year it still showed appreciation, but in China the dollar is about a third more than in pre-war days, which means that every £3 there costs £4 here. The charge for ocean passages continues to be exorbitant, and many necessary commodities for hospitals and homes abroad are excessive in price. Amongst other things, this makes furloughs very costly, and yet after the strain and delay of the war years no one would wish them to be denied ; indeed, the patient endurance of the missionaries is beyond praise. The total amount of deficiency to be met was £13,949, but from this amount could be deducted a sum of £1,250, which we may yet expect from the outstanding promises to the Baptist United Fund, leaving a balance of £12,699. There could be no question as to the task confronting the friends of the Society, and there was scarcely any need to suggest it to them. Their unanimous judgment was that these shortages must be remedied at the earliest possible moment. The B.M.S. has never carried for­ ward the deficit of one year into the next year, and the Committee felt that in view of God’s amazing goodness in spiritual things at this present time there would be no failure on our part in the things that are temporal. An appeal was therefore made at Leicester, where the deficit was quickly reduced to about £5,000. Nearly 500 churches made a retiring collection to meet the balance, and before the end of June it was joyfully announced that the problem had been solved. 1922.] INCREASE AND SHORTAGE.

  • James Cropper, John Philip and the Researches in South Africa
    JAMES CROPPER, JOHN PHILIP AND THE RESEARCHES IN SOUTH AFRICA ROBERT ROSS IN 1835 James Cropper, a prosperous Quaker merchant living in Liverpool and one of the leading British abolitionists, wrote to Dr John Philip, the Superintendent of the London Missionary Society in South Africa, offering to finance the republication of the latter's book, Researches in South Africa, which had been issued seven years earlier. This offer was turned down. This exchange was recorded by William Miller Macmillan in his first major historical work, The Cape Coloured Question,1 which was prirnarily concerned with the struggles of Dr John Philip on behalf of the so-called 'Cape Coloureds'. These resulted in Ordinance 50 of 1828 and its confirmation in London, which lifted any civil disabilities for free people of colour. The correspondence on which it was based, in John Philip's private papers, was destroyed in the 1931 fire in the Gubbins library, Johannesburg, and I have not been able to locate any copies at Cropper's end. Any explanation as to why these letters were written must therefore remain speculative. Nevertheless, even were the correspondence extant, it is unlikely that it would contain a satisfactory explanation of what at first sight might seem a rather curious exchange. The two men had enough in common with each other, and knew each other's minds well enough, for them merely to give their surface motivation, and not to be concerned with deeper ideological justification. And the former level can be reconstructed fairly easily. Cropper, it may be assumed, saw South Africa as a 'warning for the West Indies', which was especially timely in 1835 as the British Caribbean was having to adjust to the emancipation of its slaves.2 The Researches gave many examples of how the nominally free could still be maintained in effective servitude, and Cropper undoubtedly hoped that this pattern would not be repeated.

  • The Other Side of the Story: Attempts by Missionaries to Facilitate Landownership by Africans During the Colonial Era
    Article The Other Side of the Story: Attempts by Missionaries to Facilitate Landownership by Africans during the Colonial Era R. Simangaliso Kumalo https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2098-3281 University of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa [email protected] Abstract This article provides a critique of the role played by progressive missionaries in securing land for the African people in some selected mission stations in South Africa. It argues that, in spite of the dominant narrative that the missionaries played a role in the dispossession of the African people of their land, there are those who refused to participate in the dispossession. Instead, they used their status, colour and privilege to subvert the policy of land dispossession. It critically examines the work done by four progressive missionaries from different denominations in their attempt to subvert the laws of land dispossession by facilitating land ownership for Africans. The article interacts with the work of Revs John Philip (LMS), James Allison (Methodist), William Wilcox and John Langalibalele Dube (American Zulu Mission [AZM]), who devised land redistributive mechanisms as part of their mission strategies to benefit the disenfranchised Africans.

Pula: Botswana Journal of African Studies, vo1.12, nos.1 & 2 (1998) Livingstone's ideas of Christianity, commerce and civilization Fidelis Nkomazana Department of Theology & Religious Studies University of Botswana Abstract David Livingstone is often misunderstood as being a conscious promoter of European colonization of Africa. On the contrary, he believed that the key to Africa's future was the stimulation of indigenous development and good government. Such 'civilization' could only be achieved by the combination of Christianity with legitimate commerce, to replace the Slave Trade which had been the bane of Africa's development for centuries. This paper traces the roots of Livingstone's belief in the combination of moral and material betterment, derived from his personal origins and the Evangelical and Anti-Slavery movements. It shows how these ideas matured during his mission days among the BaTswana, during which he began to travel north to the Zambezi and beyond Introduction Livingstone's concept of missionary enterprise differed from most of his older colleagues among London Missionary Society (L.M.S.) missionaries. He saw mission centres not only for strictly evangelization purposes, but encompassing the whole spectrum of human activity. He divided this into three categories: commerce, Christianity, and civilization (meaning good government, education etc). Christian missions should be autonomous centres that provided for all the people's social, economic, political and spiritual needs.

  • The Origins and Early Development of Scottish Presbyterian Mission in …
    The origins and early development of Scottish Presbyterian mission in … The origins and early development of Scottish Presbyterian mission in South Africa (1824-1865) Graham A Duncan Department of Church History and Polity, University of Pretoria, Pretoria, South Africa Abstract This article traces the origins and development of the Scottish Presbyterian mission in South Africa through its Scottish antecedents to its actual establishment in South Africa in 1824 until the end of the first phase of the mission in 1865. It begins by examining the Scottish context, the contribution of voluntary societies and the “Disruption”, both of which had serious implications for missionary growth. It then moves to South Africa and examines the birth of the mission through mission stations, institutions and the participation of black people. The origin of the Mission in Scotland The Reformation The Preface to the Scots Confession (1560) states clearly, “And this glad tidings of the kingdom shall be preached through the whole world for a witness to all nations, and then shall the end come.” The Confession closes with the prayer, “… let all the nations cleave to the true knowledge of Thee” (Cochrane 1966:163, 184). Clearly, it was the intention of the nascent reformed Scottish church that mission to the world was a priority. However, for more than two centuries, this did not materialise. The severe shortage of ministers may have been responsible, in part, for this state of affairs as well as the internal political situation in Scotland. While Ross (1986:33) acknowledges the insignificant missionary impulse and indifference on the part of the established church from the 16th century Reformation up to the late 18th century, he claims that mission has always been integral to the life of Christianity “despite its high and low points”.

  • Rethinking Missionaries from 1910 to Today
    "Rethinking Missionaries" from 1910 to Today Dana L. Robert In 1910, 1200 representatives of Protestant missionary societies met in Edinburgh, Scotland, to consider the meaning of Christian mission for their generation. In 2010, we gather as part of a worldwide network of meetings asking the same question. What has been the shape of Christian mission over the past century, and what is its future? Because human beings are God's hands and feet at work in the world, we must also ask the related question: What has it meant to be a missionary over the course of the last century? And most relevant to our gathering today, what does it mean to be United Methodist missionaries today?
