B o th in Madagascar and in India we have cause to magnify the goodness of the Lord of the harvest in providing for the needs of His work. Three friends have proceeded to Madagascar and one to India during the year to strengthen the ranks of the workers. Meetings on behalf of the Association have been held in an unusually large number of places in this country, and the interest in the work at home strengthened. Although the Treasurer’s accounts show a considerable amount overdrawn, the liberal contributions of £740 at the Annual Meeting show how cordially the work continues to be supported when its needs are known; but we would remind Friends generally that its develop­ ment and progress call for a corresponding increase in the rate of our subsciptions, and the enlistment of many new subscibers.

MADAGASCAR.

R epo rt of t h e S u b-C o m m it t e e .

A n o th e k year has passed over the Mission, in some respects a time of quiet steady progress ; in others, of change and interruption consequent on the return of some of our friends from service in Mada­ gascar. The missionaries have for the most part been favoured with good health, and have been enabled to pursue their several labours with but little intermission. Our native helpers, whether teachers, evangelists, or printers, have continued to work with fidelity and earnestness. Although there has been considerable alteration in Government arrangements, our work has been but little inter­ fered with ; and, except that in Mandridrano there has been a severe visitation of small-pox, the health of the people has been better than in some previous years. These things have been favourable to the steady development of our work, and we look upon the year as having been a time of growth of which we trust the fruit will appear in its season. Our staff of missionaries has been somewhat reduced during the past year. In July, William Johnson left for this country, but not until after Herbert F. Standing and his wife had reached the capital to take up the work he was leaving. The health of Lucy A . Standing soon after arrival gave her friends some anxiety, but appears now to be well established, and she is able to take some share in the teaching of the Girls’ School. Towards the end of the year it appeared best for Samuel and Susan Clemes to leave Madagascar, after nearly nine years’ service ; and in January last they and their family arrived in this country. A few months after her return, Susan Clemes was suddenly called away, leaving her husband and three children to mourn her loss. Our Mission loses in her one who presented Christianity in a bright and cheerful aspect to the natives, and who strove to fulfil her day’s work in the day. She de­ voted a good deal of her time to teaching the women, to whom she was ever a kind and sympathizing friend. W e are also about to be deprived of the services of another member of the Mission, Annie Pumphrey, owing to her marriage with one of the agents of the London Missionary Society. She has been earnest and diligent in her calling during her three years’ connection with us. In the meantime our Mission staff will be re­ cruited by the return of William Wilson accompanied by his wife, and by the addition of Clara Herbert. They have all just started for Madagascar; the latter looking specially to work in connection with the Girls’ School at Faravohitra. Of the congregation at Ambohitantely, Samuel Clemes reports that while it is difficult to point to any particular thing as a sign of progress, it is evident on the whole that church life is growing more real, individuals are growing in knowledge of what Christianity is and demands ; and efforts are manifestly being made by many to come up to an ideal which is constantly rising. Since the repairs and alterations in the chapel have made things more comfortable, there has been a more regular attendance at the meetings on Sunday mornings and evenings, and the weekly Bible Class has been more appreciated and better attended than ever before. There have been few cases of church discipline, and in those few we have noticed a growing appreciation of the true objects of church life; there has been more earnest effort to restore and build up, and less tendency to show respect of persons than was formerly the case. Still much remains to be done. The Christians in Madagascar are still children in the faith, and will need careful and wise training by rightly qualified pastors for some time to come. Andrianony, the native pastor, is very diligent in the discharge of his duties, and possesses the respect and affection of most of the people. He seems to 8 be increasingly learning that the true pastor is meant above all to be “ an ensample to the flock.” His influence has been, and is decidedly in favour of free church life. There have been during the past year renewed attempts to bring the Malagasy churches under the direct control of the Govern­ ment, but these attempts have failed. It is pleasant to be able to record that our pastor and his colleagues have been amongst the most forward in opposing these attacks on the liberty of the church. Our country congregations, by a slight re-arrange­ ment reduced in number to 112, have been steadily maintained during the year, and efforts have been made to put them under more efficient oversight, especially in the further parts of the district. They are now arranged throughout in groups of Monthly and Four-months (or otherwise periodical) Meetings, and a Yearly Meeting of the whole was established in 1881. The people have kept up their interest in the Native Missionary Society, to which during the year they have subscribed the sum £4 12s. Od., mostly in bits of silver money of the value of half­ pence or pence. The work of elementary education has been going on quietly throughout the district, until the last few months, during which, owing to pressure used by the Government, there has been a con­ siderable influx of scholars. A t the present time more than 5000 children are under training in con­ nection with the congregations superintended by Friends. The visiting of the schools and their teachers occupies much of the time and attention of our friends; but systematic oversight and a rigid in­ spection of the work done is essential to their 9 success. The results of examinations continue to show a gradual advance, and on the whole, earnest good work on the part of the native teachers. The schools in the capital have also been pro­ gressing satisfactorily. Helen Gilpin speaks of the Girls’ School as having slightly increased in number during the year. The Bible and other classes there have been well maintained, and much success has attended the teaching of sewing and fancy work, which serves as an efficient means of keeping up our friend’s connection with her scholars when they have left the school and are settled in life. Herbert F. Standing has thrown himself heartily into the work at the Boy’s School, where the in­ creased accommodation is greatly appreciated. The new buildings were finished in May of last year; and the whole now consists of the large room for assembling, with three class-rooms for the use of the country students, and six rooms of various sizes for the upper classes of boys, a good sized room for lectures, and a caretaker’s room with separate entrance. H. F. Standing reports the premises as “ very convenient; indeed I may say without presumption that we have now. the most commodious school buildings in the capital. And this fact has its moral influence on the children in making it easier to inculcate habits of neatness, care of property, etc.” The new buildings were opened July 15th by the Prime Minister, accompanied by many of the leading natives, and in presence of a large number of Mis­ sion friends. Previously to the arrival of Herbert F. Standing, the School lost the services of Kamizafimanga, who for eleven years had taken the lead as head teacher. He had rendered valuable aid in the establishment 10 of the School, and was always looked upon by the Government and the people as occupying a position of some authority there. He was superseded by his son-in-law Rasoamanana, who had been trained by us, and had long shewn much promise, both on account of his Christian character, and his ability as a teacher. The numbers in the School keep up well, and the teachers have been doing their utmost for the welfare of those under their charge. The work of training students from the country as teachers has been continued. Henry E. ('lark finds them difficult to manage at times from their want of settled methodical habits. Many of them soon tire of steady work and drop off one by one after a few months. Thus in 1881, only half the full number remained to the examination at the end of the term. But although there are discouraging features in this branch of the work it has already proved of great value in supplying teachers for the country, many of whom have proved trustworthy and fairly capable men. Two Malagasy youths who had been under train­ ing at Ambohijatovo, were brought to this country in July for further study, with a view to their occu­ pying positions of usefulness in our Mission in their native land. After spending a few months with William and Lucy S. Johnson attending the School at Hitchin, they were placed at Ackworth at the beginning of this year, and there, though lodging in the village, they form part of the school family and pursue the same routine of study and recreation as the other boys. W e have good accounts of them from the superintendent and teachers, both as regards their conduct and diligence in their studies. During 1881 the Printing Office was carried on under the oversight of Samuel Clemes. The total 11 number of prints issued amounted to 33,398, varying in price from twenty pence to two-thirds of a penny. Most of these have been school books, reports, a few tracts, Moody’s sermons, lessons on teaching and school management, etc. Since the return of Samuel Clemes, the Printing Office has been in charge of Frank liasoamanana under Henry E. Clark’s supervision. The Sub-Committee, notwithstanding some dis­ appointments, are negociating with reference to filling the post of superintendent of the Printing Office.* The Revision of the Malagasy Bible has been continued without interruption during the year. The whole of the New Testament is now complete and about half the Old Testament, including the Book of Psalms. A new edition of the Bible including the parts revised in their new form is being prepared by the British and Foreign Bible Society. The Medical Mission has been of much help to the people since it was opened. The dispensary for out-patients, opened in October, 1880, has had a total of 2,304 patients. J. Tregelles Fox. in his report just published, says : “ Many of the patients seem greatly to appreciate the time spent upon them, and the comparative thoroughness with which in most cases their diseases have been investigated ; and I trust that besides endeavouring to give a religious tone to the whole by a short period of Scripture reading and prayer with the patients before they are seen each day, we are enabled in many instances individually to bring home to the minds of the people some of the more important

* J. C. Kmgyett, late of £vesham, is expecting to sail in July to take up this work. ! -t 12 practical lessons of Christianity, the lack of which, on the part of many of its professors even, none have more opportunity of discovering, to our pain, than ourselves.” For the treatment of severe cases, the hospital was opened in April, 1881. The two large wards on the first floor were first used, and later on, that on the ground floor was opened for men. Up to the end of the year 224 patients had been under care. Miss Graham is acceptably filling the post of superintendent of the nursing and household depart­ ments. The number of native medical students was raised during the year to six. These youths, besides assisting in the dispensary and as clinical clerks, have regular duties to perform in connection with the in-patients, while J. T. Fox gives what time he can to teaching them and directing their medical studies. Thus in various ways the great work is being carried on, and the glorious truths of the Gospel are being brought home to the people of Madagascar. While earnestly praying for a large outpouring of the Holy Spirit to seal the truth upon their hearts, may our own hearts glow with gratitude to our gracious Lord, that he has been pleased to give us a share in this blessed service, and has made us witnesses of the fulfilment of his own prophetic words, “ They shall come from the east, and from the west, from the north, and from the south, and shall sit down in the Kingdom of God.”

INDIA.

R epo rt of t h e S u b-C o m m it t e e . A v a lu a b le addition has been made to our staff of missionaries this year by the marriage of Samuel 13 Baker to Anna O’Brien, of Belfast. Anna O’Brien sailed from Liverpool last Eleventh Month, and the marriage was solemnized at the Free Church Manse, Bombay, on the 12th of Twelfth Month, 1881. W e have therefore at the present time two Friends from Ireland in the Indian Mission field, two from Scotland, and one from England. Samuel and Anna Baker reside at the Mission Bungalow at Hoshangabad, but we regret to find that Samuel Baker has recently had several attacks of fever. John and Effie Williams are settled at Sohagpur, where Charles and Harriet Gayford and Rachel Metcalfe worked some years ago. It is a satisfac­ tion to have the ground there re-occupied. A Building Lease has been obtained from the Govern­ ment, and the New Bungalow at Sohagpur is being erected on the very plot of land where the Mission stood in 1874 and 1875. John and Effie Williams have sent their surviving son James home to England for education; he arrived in Liverpool on the 8th of Fifth Month, 1882, and proceeds shortly to Edinburgh where he will be under the care of his uncle. Rachel Metcalfe is more active and vigorous than for some years past, and paid a visit to Bombay in Fourth Month, 1882. She is deeply interested in Orphan-work, and has four native children living with her, and proposes taking one or two more. Monthly Meetings of the Xative Church have been regularly held during the past year, represent­ atives being appointed from Hoshangabad and Sohagpur to attend them in course. The Committee Meetings of the missionaries are also maintained, and very interesting Reports of the work are trans­ mitted to England, which appear in our periodicals. Perhaps none of the accounts that have been 14 sent home during the past year have been more encouraging than the Reports of Bal Mukand and A li Bakhsh, who read and explain the scriptures to their fellow countrymen, and proclaim the glad tidings of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ. These native teachers understand the habits of thought of the people, and know the difficulties they have to grapple with. They often report the ready assent they meet with from many of their hearers to the force and beauty of the truth set before them; and while it is impossible to j£S3ge the extent to which the good seed may have taken root in the heart, there is evidently an increasing spirit of inquiry through the district, a weakening of the power of idolatry and caste prejudice, and a tacit acknowledgment of the superior merits and claims of the Christian religion; although very few are found willing to throw oil' the bondage of tradition and social custom, and, renouncing idolatry, to join the Christian Church. Another hopeful feature in the work has been the efforts made by two of the native women to proclaim the riches of Christ to the women in the towns and villages. These humble labourers have found an open door, and have received grace to boldly witness for Christ, and by their love and gentleness to obtain for the Gospel message a respectful and attentive hearing. W e cannot boast of results, but we thank God to be permitted in any way to spread abroad among the millions of India the message of God’s mercy to sinners through Christ crucified. 15 ANNUAL REPORT OF The Indian Mission, fo r the Year 1881-2.

W e cannot report any increase of membership during the past year, but have had abundant evidence that the preach­ ing of Christ and Him crucified has not been in vain. Many confess to the truth and excellence of the Christian religion, but for fear of being turned out of caste do not acknowledge their allegiance to Christ. We know not how many there are, who in secret “ call on the name of the Lord,” but we rejoice that the smoking flax is not quenched by Him who knoweth them that are His. The most important event in the history of the Mission during the past year, was the re-occupying of Sohagpur as a Mission Station. For this purpose J. H. and E. Williams left Hoshangabad for Sohagpur on 12th mo. 27th, 1881, taking Bal Mukand and Ruth with them as the native helpers. Although J. H. Williams is very much occupied looking after the building of the new bungalow, still the more direct mission work has not been neglected, as will be seen from the monthly reports.

S t a t e o f t h e C h u r c h . There are at present twelve natives in membership with us (seven men and five women,); there are also seven children (three boys and four girls); and three non-members (men). Our meetings for worship and discipline have been regularly held, and the attendance at both has been good. The former have often been times of refreshing, and at the latter we have been encouraged by the accounts of the Lord’s work in the district and city. We have not many outsiders in attendance, people as a rule objecting to come into Christian places of worship. Jugal Kishore, who was one of the oldest converts of the Mission, went away from us to Jutbulpore, where he joined the Church Mission, and was baptized. At one time he bid fair to make a good worker in our Mission, but becoming dissatisfied it seemed best that he should go. He is now a Scripture Reader or Catechist in connection with the Church Missionary Society at Mandla. 16

B a z a a b P r e a c h in g Has been regularly kept up in the city, with ten exceptions; three times on account of rain, and seven times on account of the district work. We have had, as a rule, large and orderly com­ panies. The festival of Ram Leela last year did not create such a stir as the year before, and the preaching was not once suspended on account of it. Even when the Mohurram festivities were at their height, we had a large and attentive crowd. We could not help taking courage from the thought that the preaching of Christ had more attraction for the listeners than these idolatrous festivities. Last June there was great excitement in the city when a Ma- hommedan named Khan Mahommed declared his desire to become a Christian. The Mahommedans took fright and determined by every means in their power to oppose ns ; the leader of the oppo­ sition even went so far as to say, that in case of another meeting our catechist would be his first victim. They began to preach in the Bazaar at a little distance from us whenever we preached, and kept it up for about six months declaring they would take all the people away from us ; it need hardly be said this was an empty boast. Out of this arose a great religious inquiry which afforded many opportunities for declaring the Lord Jesus as the only Saviour. The Mahommedans did all they could to induce Khan Mahommed and his wife to go back to them, and at last succeeded. About the same time, two of our adherents being dissatisfied were persuaded to become Mahommedans ; one who has learned even a little about Christ and lived amongst Christians must find the service of another spiritual master irksome : these two did not long remain attached to their new faith. When asking to be al­ lowed back amongst us, one of them said, he had never denied Christ in his heart, and still believed on Him. Preaching is regularly carried on also in Sohagpur Bazaar, and as a rule the audiences are large and attentive. The establish­ ment of the Mission there has awakened a good deal of inquiry amongst the people, and the word seems to be received well every­ where. The catechist goes into the mohullas of the city daily, and many come to his house for conversation. Several women also come to converse with his wife about religion, and she has occasionally visited some of the houses near. The work in the district surrounding Sohagpur is essentially pioneering, as in many of the villages no Christian teacher has ever been before, and there are very few Government schools. The large town of Sobhapur, which lies about six miles north-east, with its important bazaar on Saturdays, has been visited almost every week, and many gather round the preachers of a purer faith, 17 and hear of God’s love in Christ. The power of the truth is felt even here, as will be seen by the following extracts from one of Bal Mukand’s reports: “ A Patel who was of the Teli caste was going to bathe in the Ganges, and bad everything ready for the journey. I had a long conversation with him, and said, ‘ The Ganges water cannot put away a man’s sins, it is just the same as the water of Sohagpur river or any other river; sin is set aside only by obeying God’s commandment to believe on His only begotten Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, whose holy blood can wash away the stains of all our sins.’ He said, ‘ I will never go to the Ganges; ’ and by the mercy of the Lord he did not.” “ One day I saw a sweeper woman making a little platform for a god. I said, ‘ Sister, what art thou doing ? Throw that away, and break down the platform ; it cannot deliver thee from thy sins.’ So after a good deal of conversation she did so. I said to her, * Worship the Lord Jesus Christ who died on the cross for thy sins and mine, and is now seated at God’s right hand; give Him thy heart and body. He alone will forgive thy sins.’ She answered, ‘ I will worship Him.’ ”

I t d t b e a k t W o r k . One journey was taken from Hoshangabad along the Seoni road lasting about two and a half weeks. The meetings with the women, which were held in two of the villages and in Seoni itself, were a special feature on this journey. These meetings were addressed by Sugra, Ali Bakhsh’s wife, the women showing great interest in what they heard and asking to be visited again. The meetings were held in the Patels’ houses in the villages, and in Seoni a man of good position in the town gathered about forty women of the upper classes to his house, who listened eagerly to their Christian sister as she read and explained to them the inci­ dents of our Lord’s life recorded in Matthew ix. The magic lantern still proves an excellent means of gathering the people together. In Seoni, where it was shown in a large open space in front of the native magistrate’s house, it was com­ puted that about one thousand people were present. The subjects of the slides are mostly scriptural, and we seek at such times to set forth Christ very plainly as the only Saviour. In Sanwalkhera we found the people very willing indeed to listen to the Gospel, and if we can follow up the work there, many may yet put their trust in Christ. In Sonasawari the people listen attentively and are very friendly, but the Patel, who is unfortuately an opium eater, seems as far from the truth as ever. Anchalkhera, on the Sohagpur road, was B 18 the next stopping place; the people were busy cutting bhe corn, but- in the evening a large company of men came to the tent with the Patel, and were addressed by Ali Bakhsh. The town of Seoni has been visited almost every month, and a good deal of attention has been given to the Itarsi Bazaar and Sonasawari. What may be called house to house work has been pretty vigorously carried on in the city during the year, and most of the villages round have as far as possible been regularly visited. In a village on the other side of the river there is an old Hindu Fakir who calls himself a Christian; he has bought the three volumes of the Hindi Bible, and many other Christian books, and seems to understand the ‘ Story of the Cross.’ We cannot induce him to come over to meeting, the reason may be that having publicly declared he is a Christian, the Fakirs on this side of the river have turned him out of caste. An interesting instance of how the seed may be growing un­ known to us occurred lately. When one of our readers was going into a village near Hoshangabad, an old woman seeing some books under his arm accosted him, saying she had heard that a man came there regularly preaching good things ; and on finding that he was the right person, said, “ lama very old woman, and have seen a great deal of the world; now I want to hear about God, and believe on Him, that I may obtain deliverance from sin.”

Z enana W ork. Several visits have been paid to two Zenanas in the city, but we have not been able to keep up the work systematically.

Thb B ible Class For men was kept up regularly on First day mornings until the beginning of this year, when the time was changed to Seventh day evenings, and now it is held as a general Bible class both for men and women; most of our members attend it regularly. We are at present going through Isaiah, and often much interest is shown in comparing the prophecies and references to Christ, with paEsages in the New Testament. The Servants’ Bible Class at the Bungalow, on First Days, con­ tinues to be regularly held; some of the servants seem to take a great interest in it, others evidently attend only to please us.

T he Sunday S chool Has been regularly kept up, except one Sunday, when on account of illness, the Girls’ School could not be held; the averages have been Boys about eighteen and Girls ten. Latterly the attendance 19 in the Boys’ Sunday School has much improved, for the most part the Boys are the same as those who attend the Balagunj School.

D a y S c h o o l . The average attendance at the Balagunj Day School has been about thirteen, which is somewhat smaller than last year. For some months the School was carried on under considerable diffi­ culties, the temporary change to Devi Dyal’s house was far from beneficial, and this was followed by the Mohammedan opposi­ tion. The parents of several of the older boys were induced to take them away and send them to the G-ovemment Schools. We are thankful to say the school is now filled again, and the new boys are making very fair progiess. The average attendance last month was thirty. The new School House, referred to in our last report, has been finished, and the kind friends who provided the money for it would feel well repaid if they could see the thirty dusky little boys, some sitting on the floor with their books and slates before them, and others standing shouting the letters after their monitor.

COLPORTAGE Work has been steadily carried on with the following results in sales : Rupees. Annas. Pies. 273 Bibles and Portions ...... 27 9 3 1757 Tracts and little Books ...... 6 10 10

i m 4 1 The apparent decrease in the sale of Bibles, etc., can be accounted for by the fact that last year we distributed many more portions than this. The increase of Tract sales is bona fide, as we have distributed very few gratuitously. For several months the Colporteur was much hindered in his work by repeated attacks of fever, but we are thankful to say he is now much better.

M e d ic a l W o r k . Many sick people come to the Mission Bungalow for medicine, to whom the Gospel is preached; they listen very attentively, and some seem a good deal impressed at the time with what they hear. God's blessing has rested very largely on this branch of the work; those who get relief tell their suffering friends, many coming from (peat distances for medicine. The gratitude of these poor people is most encouraging; wherever we meet them, they seem glad to recall how they came to the Bungalow for medicine, 20 and were cured, and veiy frequently when we are preaching some sick one will come asking for help. In conclusion we desire thankfully to acknowledge God’s bless­ ing on our work during the past year; we hare had abundant evidence of the truth of His promise, “ My word shall not return unto me void,” and we are thankful to be engaged in His service, with the assurance that He who has blessed our labours in the past, will continue to do so in the future. SAMUEL BAKER, J. H. WILLIAMS. Fourth Month 19th, 1882.

G ir l s * S c h o o l . On looking back through another year, I can thankfully record the guiding hand of my Heavenly Father, opening out work suitable for me; and undoubtedly He will still lead me on until He lays it on others to take up the work and continue it. Our school during the past year has been carried on with the usual fluctuations, though on the whole the attendance has been more regular, and in regular attenders the improvement is more marked. The two little girls from Bhopal who joined my household as boarders the last rainy season, are making progress in their studies, Mid are able to read a little. They visited their parents at Christmas who expressed much satisfaction with them. Since my last report I have taken charge of two orphan children (one is supported by S. Baker’s friends, the other by H. Goad, of Ulverstone); very great is the change in these little waifs, the elder can read a little, the younger is a loving affectionate child growing brighter and more intelligent. It is pleasant to see their eagerness and attention at meeting, how they try to remember what they hear, and report to me when they reach home. And there is no time more enjoyed by them or myself than our evening reading, when the whole group including my* servants’ children gather round the table to read the Scriptures, repeat hymns, &c. It is cause for deep thankfulness that my general health is so much improved. It is a pleasure to have these dear children around m e; and now that I cannot go out visiting zenanas as in earlier years, I feel this is the work God has now given me to do, ahd earnestly do I long and pray that others may be raised up to continue the work as it increases. I have funds in hand now 'from different Friends for four little orphans, two of these are coming to. me in a few weeks, and if God provides the means and sends the little ones, should not we take them in ? Another two will be 21 about the utmost I can undertake, for I have not accommodation for them. I am enjoying a thorough change for a few weeks in Bombay, the first for more than six years, it is benefitting me much in many ways; the uniting with other Christian worshippers in English after nine years of Hindi is very refreshing to the soul. And the medical advice I have sought is not discouraging, though no hopes axe held forth that I shall ever walk freely again. I am encouraged to try little by little to stand and move about, and for this purpose I am looking out for the proper appliances, i.e. crutches of the proper kind; and God who has so wonderfully restored me so far, may even do this if it be His will.

S a m u e l C lem es, Madagascar. ANNUAL MEETING.

T his Meeting was held in the large’Meeting-house on Second Day evening, 29th of Fifth Month, at 6.30 p.m., when a large audience assembled. The meeting commenced with the reading of a portion of Scrip­ ture (1 Thessalonians ii. 1-7), and with prayer. The chair was occupied by T h o m a s H a r v e y of Leeds, who said,— We have met as on former occasions to hear of the work that is going on in connection with the Friends’ Foreign. Mission Associa­ tion, and to show our sympathy with those who are engaged in the work in Madagascar, India, and other Mission fields. There is one peculiar trial that those who go out to labour there are subject to, and that is the separation from their friends in England, and often of parents from their children for many years together. But they willingly submit to this to advance the cause they have at heart. Let us not forget that they go out in some degree as our representa­ tives, and that the sustenance of the work depends on us. I hope we all realize that the Gospel is a trust. The Apostle says we were “ put in trust with the Gospel.” We find this idea runs through the whole of the Old and New Testaments. In that grand missionary Psalm the 67th, let us mark the connection between the cry of the Lord’s children for mercy and blessing, and the petition “ that His way may be known in the earth, His saving health among all nations,” and let us observe the world­ wide scope of the opening petitions of the prayer which our Lord taught His disciples. There are now at least four centres of missionary labour with which Friends here are connected, (though not all under the Friends’ Foreign Mission Association), viz., those in Madagascar, Central India, Palestine, on the slopes of Lebanon, and lastly in Constantinople, where the beginning of a small medical mission has been recently made. The localities have not been chosen, nor tiie labourers selected and sent out, in the will and wisdom of man, but doors have been providentially opened, and impressions of duty laid on the minds and hearts of the men and women who are now labouring in their several fields. I would, therefore, point out that this Missionary Society proceeds on the ancient and recognised lines of the Society of Friends. «Taxes H ack Toteb, the Treasurer, then read the cash statement showing that the expenditure upon the work in Madagascar had 28 been ¿£4,611, and in India ¿61,869, which with some smaller items make up a total expenditure of ¿67,400. This is not met by the year’s receipts, the balance due to the Treasurer being £1,225. This arises partly from the sending forth of three of our friends to Madagascar to strengthen the work there, and partly from the expenses of the Medical Mission at the capital, and the opening of the new Mission station in India. We are spending now ¿61,100 a year more than three years ago, and we are face to face with the fact that if we are to carry on the work as at present, we must ask for more funds to the extent of another ¿61,000 or ¿61,200 a year. We ask for this that we may not have to give up any branch of the work. I have often thought how large a portion of the Acts of the Apostles in the New Testament is a narrative of work apart from the principal centre of operations, and I believe that we to-day, in carrying out this work, are really following in the footsteps of the primitive Church. J. Ftfe S t e w a k t said : I have been asked by the Committee to say a few words in reference to the report just read. I think most must have felt the value of the work carried on, and as some of us are not yet doing our duty and have been unwilling to make it possible for the Society to cany it out rightly, let us look at our constituency. The Society of Friends has some 15,000 men, women, and children in membership, 5,000 attenders, and 25,000 adults and children in our First-day schools, which makes a total constituency of 45,000. I have been going into calculations, and I find that if each of that 45,000 were supposed to be giving something, the average payments would amount to ¿d. per head per week. I think that if each of us were to set to work to consider the blessings conferred by the Missions, we should not esteem it a very large sacrifice to raise that to Id. per head per week. There ought to be no objection to do as little as this to spread the Gospel among the heathen. We must think what a state we should probably be in if the Gospel had not come to us, and we should reflect that we are not , going to give this money to India or to Madagascar, but we are going to give it to the Lord. We shall have to give an account of it some day, and if it be then said that the Society had to withdraw some of its missionaries because we could not raise another ¿61000, surely we should not hear the words, “ Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto Me.” This is a serious responsibility. Frequently we can learn much from children, and those of us who belong to the Bedford Institute have often seen the boxes in each class-room ; last year, when the missionary came to the school to give his address, the boxes were opened, and they contained more than ¿650. There were in them more than 400 farthings; and those farthings were as much a gift 29 to the Lord as ¿61000 from those who have abundance. We might all keep a “ missionary box ” in oar houses; not to flourish before our friends whenever they come into the house, so that they say, “ What a nuisance that missionary box is ! ” but a box for our own money and that of our children to go into. One of the pleasantest recollections of my childhood is the missionary meeting to which I went when John Williams was there. Some of the rich Friends might have a tract of land of their own, in a missionary sense, and I think it would pay better in the long run to have such a tract of country upon which to support the preaching of the Gospel, than to own countless acres in old England. Then our Treasurer would come and tell us that they were going to seek fresh mission stations, because they were not short of funds, and could do their work without being hampered, thanks to our liberality. You all know the story so often quoted by those who are not Friends, of the poor man who fell down in the street, and while the bystanders round were all expressing their sympathy for him, an old Quaker came up and said, “ Well, friends, how much sympathy do you feel for this poor man? I feel half-a-crown And if Friends will now put on a piece of paper how much they will give to clear off this debt, and send it up to the table, we may do it before we leave the room. J oseph S. Sewell submitted to the meeting the names of the officers and committee for the ensuing year. H enbt Stanley N ewman : I have been interested in reading over the subscription list, and I find that 2,500 persons have con­ tributed to the Association during the past year ; so, while we are looking at the dark side, it is encouraging to look also at the bright side. In regard to the work in India, we are working steadily at our old positions of Hoshangabad and Sohagpur. Two or three of the native helpers have become increasingly efficient during the past year: they thoroughly understand the native mind, and are welcomed wherever they go. Another special feature of the Mission in India in the present day is the work among women; and Irena S. Beard, who has worked in India, will speak to us of “ women’s work among women.” I b e n a S. Beakd ; I have been asked to speak a little in reference to women’s work in India, and I shall be very glad if I can interest Friends in the women of India. I want to say in the commencement, that it is very sweet to preach the Gospel to those who have never heard i t ; and the next best thing is to give of your substance in helping those already engaged. The women of India are very ignorant, and it was my privilege to see a great deal of them, both Hindoos and Mohammedans. They have very little to do, and their chief business in life seems to be to eat, 30 deep, talk, and quarrel. Their husbands tell them nothing of what is going on in the outside world, so they cannot know much. On one occasion when I was talking with a woman her husband came in, and she inquired of him what that noise in the street was. He turned and gave her one look, and that look was quite enough for both of us. Presently her son came in, and she asked him the same question. He turned to her and said, “ What do you want to know for ? you are nothing bat a woman.” Bat though they see so little of the outside world, they are well taught in their religion, Mid are exceedingly conscientious in teaching their chil­ dren how to worship each of their household gods. And then the doctrine of transmigration of souls is called in, to keep the women in darkness. They are exceedingly interested in asking questions in reference to our social life, and when I have told them that in England we all worship together in a large house, I have seen the tears run down their cheeks, as if they would say, “ We wish we could do like that.” From the top of our house we could look down into our next-door neighbour’s zenana, and I saw a good deal of what went on there, and there was often so much quarrelling that the husband frequently flogged them all round. The men speak of the women as nuisances, and when a female child is bora in their family there is great lamentation ; and many little girls between one day and two weeks old are suffered to perish, because it is not thought nice to have so many girls about the house. They would often ask me, “ Why were your people so long in bringing the Gospel to us ? ” And I want to ask why we are so long carrying the Gospel to people living in heathen darkness? But the work is going on, and its progress does indeed rejoice my heart. W illiam J ohnson : I have often scanned The Friend, that we used to have sent out to us, to see what kind of missionary meetings you had here, and now I am very glad to be with you, and to see what a good meeting you can get up in the Society of Friends. I was interested in the discussion upon the Home Minion topic this morning, and I was struck with the similarity between the home and foreign work, and noticed that even at home you had to modify your arrangements to suit the work in your hands. When I came to Madagascar I got my notions of missionary work rudely upset. We have to do a great deal of work that you would not call preaching the Gospel. We have schools, Bible classes, sewing classes, the hospital, and the printing press; and thus in a thousand different ways, especially by showing a good example, we seek to preach Christ to the people. The mere fact of a mission­ ary living among a heathen people is a great means of preaching the Gospel; with a Christian family in their midst, they see the careful training of the children, the right ordering of the house­ 31 hold, the treatment of domestics, and the family worship. A missionary’s whole life should be a sermon. The points of chief interest in the Mission last year were in connection with the com­ pletion and opening of the new buildings at the Boys’ School at Ambdhijatdvo, and the re-opening of the Hospital at AnMakely. The Boys’ School was begun in the? year 1870, in a reed house, while a permanent building was being erected ; but, before many years had gone by, it was found too small, and would need many modifications. You sent us the money for the alterations, and now we have a large and commodious building. We have to thank you for all that; and yet I scarcely like to say so, for it seems to divide us, while the work is yours as much as it is ours. The Hospital was put up by the London Missionary Society many years ago, and was for a long time under the care of the Edinburgh Medical Mission. It was closed for two or three years till quite lately, when J. Tregelles Fox went out and re-opened it. 1 regret that Samuel Olemes is not here to-night to speak of the work at AmbdhitantMy, where he has for so long had charge of the con­ gregation, but we all know what a sad affliction has been laid upon him. In the country district there are 112 congregations scattered up and down, numbering 3,000 persons, definitely connected with the ehurch in Madagascar, and under our supervision. The mission­ aries visit them as often as they can. They held their first Yearly Meeting last year at Ambdhitantely, and though it was a meeting of the churches it was very unlike the London Yearly Meeting. An account was given of the work in each district, and when one of the native pastors said, “ Mr. Johnson is going to your friends in England, would you like to send a message by him?” they heartily responded, and sent a message of greeting by .me, to say that they were thankful in that country for all that had been done for them by their friends across the sea. The Printing Press is still carried on, and books for use in the schools, leaflets, tracts, and reports, are printed in abundance; but since Mr. Eingdon left we have had as yet no printer to take charge of it. The Bible revision still goes on, and all four societies take part in it, and work harmoniously together. The work of missionaries is not confined to Madagascar, India, and Syria, but is spreading to all parts of the world. Let us recognise in gratitude that our little Society is called to be a fellow-worker with Christ in this great cause. Much remains to be done! Let each one here see to it that he has a share in the spreading of the blessed truth. J ohatha.it B ackhouse H odgkin proposed that the meeting should send a message of sympathy to Samuel Clemes in his great sorrow in the loss of his wife. G eorge Sattebthwaite spoke of the work in Syria during the 32 past year. Friends on the other side of the Atlantic have found it in their hearts to erect a school for girls on the slopes of Mount Lebanon, under the direction of Theophilus Waldmeier. A sum of j£360 was subscribed by the women Friends of this Yearly Meeting towards furnishing it, and goods to the amount of £70 have already been sent out. It is not open yet, but will be opened, if possible, early in the Tenth Month. Maria Feltham is going to superintend the establishment and assist Dr. Beshara in the Cottage Hospital, and I rejoice to say that she is one through whose endeavours we may look to see the women of Syria elevated and blessed. She has broken up her home and gone to reside on the slopes of Mount Lebanon; she feels rather isolated there, though she has the comfort of the society of Theophilus Wald­ meier and his family. E. W o b s d a x e said that when he was at Beyrout he saw a little village on the hillside six miles away, and he was told that it was Brumana. He was informed that, notwithstanding the efforts of the many missionary bodies located at Beyrout, they had never suc­ ceeded in gaining a foothold among the mountains, until Theophilus Waldmeier resolved that he would try, mid notwithstanding the opposition of the Maronite priests, who threw every obstacle in his way, he succeeded. Now the very men who opposed, are glad to avail themselves of the Dispensary and Cottage Hospital, conducted by Dr. Beshara. There are several schools in the outlying dis­ tricts ; the work is rapidly spreading, under such evidence of Divine blessing, that had he been ever so sceptical as to the value of our Foreign Missions, his few days’ residence at the station on Mount Lebanon would have removed every doubt. ‘ I saac B bows added a few remarks at the dose, enforcing the urgent need of the Missions, not only of increased funds, but also of individuals who should devote themselves to service in India and Madagascar; alluding to what had been already stated, of the great need that is fell as regards the religious and moral interests of the natives, that one, or better two, families should be stationed in the western part of Friends' district in Madagascar some forty or fifty miles from the capital. A collection was made at the doors, and this, with the amounts handed up to the table on paper, realized a sum of £740. MADAGASCAR REPORTS.

No. 1. HELEN GILPIN’S REPOET.

D uring the past year the Bible classes connected with the school have been kept up almost without interruption. An endeavour has been made to give our elder scholars a com­ prehensive idea o f the contents o f the different books of the Bible ; and this has been done as far as the Prophets. We intend to continue this course of instruction until we have finished each book, and then we shall return to a more minute study of each. L. H. Brockway left us in Fifth Month last year, before the yearly examination, which was again kindly conducted by Samuel Clemes, but the result of which was not quite as satisfactory as usual. At the close of this half year Annie Pumphrey has put the school through a very thorough examination, and we again found the girls greatly wanting in ciphering and grammar, the same points in which they were deficient at the previous examination. This proved to us the inefficiency o f the teacher we had with us from the boys school, and we were, therefore, obliged to dismiss him. Herbert F. Standing not having a teacher to spare for us, we applied to Jas. Richardson of the London Missionary Society, and he has kindly promised us a teacher for the next session, when we hope to be able to report progress in the lessons above alluded to. Owing to the scourge of small pox which has been raging in Mitoidridrano, and to some other causes, we have had a very poor attendance in our country women’s class the last half year; but Henry E. Clark encourages us to hope for a better attendance during the coming session. We are particularly 34 anxious to keep up this class, because it is productive of so much good, and Ramatoa, our head teacher, is sadly dis­ couraged when her class is not full. Not being satisfied with the number in her class she went out to the gate and per­ suaded several o f the followers, or slave girls, of our scholars to come and learn. At another time she came to beg to give up her post because, she said, “ You are paying money for nothing while I have so few to teach.” Of course we could not consent to this, as we need her influence in the school; but this is so different to the general character of the Mala­ gasy, who try to get as much and do as little as possible, that it has been thought best to mention it The average attendance o f the whole school has been somewhat higher than usual, it is 166; the highest number present, 191 ; and the lowest, while the Queen was away at Ambohimanga, 134. 197 girls were examined by Annie Pumphrey at the close o f the half-year, including the teachers, and several were away at Ambdhimitnga, or unable to attend from other causes. At the close of the examination we gave prizes as usual from the kind gifts sent to us for that purpose by our friends and relatives at home; those sent by Sarah G. Harvey and John and Anna R. Whiting have been especially useful and highly appreciated. We hope our dear friends will continue to show their interest in this way, and would mention that scissors of various sizes would be a valuable addition to our stock, o f which we have quite sufficient to meet the needs of our next examination. In Eighth Month last Lucy A. Standing kindly undertook the superintendence o f our crochet class and this she continues to do ; it is a great help to us. Annie Pumphrey has been exceedingly diligent, working wisely and w ell; we shall be very sorry to lose her valuable labours in our portion o f the work. She has got the girls on capitally in the subjects she has specially taught, and hopes even after her marriage to continue her labours in the school. We sincerely hope she will be able to do this; but as her intended husband’s present appointment is only a temporary one, it will not do for us to lean upon these kind intentions, and it is therefore to be hoped Friends in England will seek diligently for some one to come out and take her place. With Priscilla A. Fry’s kind help we have again cleared our expenses as far as the teachers’ salaries are concerned ; but even with her help we should not be able to do this were it not that we are kindly supplied from year to year with a large parcel of wools and fancy work from our kind friend Jeanette Abbott. The articles made from these are chiefly sold out here, and supply a large portion of the fund out o f which the embroiderers are paid, the sale of our plain work supplies the rest. J. Abbott and her kind friends have thus kept us supplied in fancy work for the last five years. We find this is a very necessary portion o f the work, our girls are very quick at plain sewing, and if we could not supply them with other kinds of work, they would leave us and go off to other schools. We have plain sewing, embroidery, knitting, crochet, tatting, wool-work o f various kinds, and some bead work taught in the school; and the preparation o f these takes many hours each week. Another point of interest is the diligence of our native visitor. It has been before mentioned how impossible it has has been for us to visit our scholars when ill, and yet how important a part of the work we felt it to be. Finding we were to a certain extent paying our way, we engaged a Christian woman to visit our absentees and find out the cause month by month. We give her regularly two shillings a month, but if there are a great many to be visited add a little more. She comes every month to receive the names, and then brings the book back with the cause o f absence written therein. She has thrown herself most heartily into this work, and we believe her visits are productive of good. She has paid 200 visits during the past year. In conclusion, we would remind Friends that more help is needed in this branch o f your Mission : 11 The work is 36 % great, the labourers are few ; Pray ye, therefore, the Lord o f the Harvest that He will send forth labourers into His harvest.” H. GILPIN.

HENRY E. CLARK'S REPORT.

I n my last year’s report I entered so fully into the details of the various divisions o f my work that in this they will be but briefly alluded to. I will speak first o f the work in the country. In the Arivonimamo district of 33 congregations I can report steady progress. The number o f places where there is a properly settled church and school has increased, and with regard to them we do not fear any more the “ ups and downs” to which we are so liable in this country,— a great fit of enthusiasm for a school, any quantity o f promises on the part o f the people as to what they will do if we will only let them have a teacher, all going on well for a short time, and then a sudden collapse. Instead of this (our frequent experience), a quiet steady work is evidently going on. Among the places which we believe have turned over a new leaf may be men­ tioned Ambohitrinib^ and Mahazo, true in both cases whether o f church or school. In the Yakin’ Ankaratra sub-district I am also pleased to be able to report a manifest improvement. Allusion was made last year to the difficulty of superintending this district owing to the long distances between the churches; so that it is im­ possible to unite them together into a Quarterly or Half-yearly Meeting, as is done in the other sub-districts. During the past year, however, we have divided them into five little groups o f churches, each group consisting o f from four to 37 seven or eight; and each of these has now its half-yearly gathering which will be, I believe, the means o f effectually helping them and creating a public opinion, and which if we are able to lead in the right direction may be a source o f great strength. My quarterly journeys through this far-off dis­ trict have been regularly taken ; I am indeed thankful that nothing has prevented me from going. On two of these journeys the schools have all been systematically examined; on the other two my principal work has been in the churches and with the older people : but this is far too little to accom­ plish all that should be done in this district We have now, however, a native evangelist helping us here, Rainifiringa by name. He was one of the very earliest teachers sent out by Joseph S. Sewell in 1871. He has done good work as a teacher; but he is now past this, education has advanced so rapidly of late that he cannot pretend to keep up with it. But he is still well qualified as an evangelist for visiting the churches and giving Bible lessons, and his power o f dealing (gently) with the people, overcoming their prejudices— shall I say in getting them to do our way when they think they are doing their own— is very great Between my journeys he pays regular visits to the churches in this district, and I-believe these have been an important element in the progress visible. His salary is paid by the Bedford Institute; their subscriptions have been so much increased o f late years that there is more than sufficient for their own district of Antoby and two or three neighbouring churches. At Antoby, where for a long time there was no teacher, we have had one for several months, and he has a fair sized school o f about forty children. I have indeed much to be thankful for in the advance in education which has taken place in my two sub- districts during the past two years. To a great extent this has been independent o f any action o f the Government, as the great kabary o f March 1881 is only just (January 1882) getting fairly to work. The following table will show the relative condition o f the 38 schools as they are now, and as they were two years ago immediately after my return from England :—

While exceedingly thankful for any progress I am able to report I am often veiy thoughtful as I ponder upon all that remains to be done ; the fearful wickedness and licentiousness we often get a sight o f underneath, and some o f it not so veiy far down either; the stupidity o f the people, their ignorance, their determined clinging to ancient customs such as slavery, all this constantly stares us in the face ; the longer we live in the country the more we see the dark side o f the state o f things here, and how little the vast bulk o f the people realize that it is righteousness alone that truly exalteth a nation. Our four classes o f students from the country have occupied much o f my time in town; they are now taught in the new premises at Ambohijatovo recently completed. In former years we have taken fresh scholars every six months, but this year we have made a change, and now only receive them once in the twelve months. This renders the work o f the year much more settled ; by far the larger number o f the students 39 remain in the class for a year and so complete a curiculum o f study before they move up. The number of students who leave from one cause or another during the year is surprising. At the commencement of 1881 we began with sixty-three scholars ; at the close of the year only twenty-six of these were present at the usual examination. A few left to occupy places as teachers where we could not very well wait till the close of the year; several left through marriage diffi­ culties, their wives either leaving their husbands altogether or else saying they would do so if their husbands did not return home; several left also through ill health, their constitution not fitting them for constant study. It is right to state that in some cases the wives have turned out first rate, have much profited by the instruction obtained at our girls’ school, and are now real helpmeets to their husbands in their work as country teachers, the majority o f whom have been students at Ambohi- jatovo, and it is difficult to know what we should have done for teachers if this training school had not been established. We are gradually adding to our curriculum. This year the first and second classes have been learning analysis and simple Roman history. The first is valuable as teaching them the structure of their own language, the second as giving them a little knowledge o f the history of a nation they read much of in the New Testament. I am now preparing some simple lessons on health, for next year; these will for the time take the place o f those on physical geography. At the examination just concluded, out of the twenty-six scholars, six obtained three-fourths and upwards of the total number of marks, and all the remainder more than half. Several scholars left at the end o f the year ; many o f them will obtain situations as teachers, though some have been dismiissed as they give no promise of doing good, their forte is neither learning nor teaching. With regard to the schools our connection with the Govern­ ment has become much closer this year, and may be more so when the new educational laws are fully in operation. Much 40 has been, written in England about these, so I will only here allude to the way in which they affect us. Though the Government contributes not a penny towards the expenses o f the large majority o f the schools, it claims the right to send examiners and inspectors to these schools just when it likes; the large schools in town, the London Missionary Society Normal School, our own at Ambohijatovo, and our own and the London Missionary Society girls’ schools are no exception, although up to the time of writing nothing has been done to carry this out in these large schools in the capital. We are permitted to visit the country schools and to do what we can to help them, but if we wish to examine them we must communicate first with the head of the Educational Depart­ ment. A teacher once appointed cannot leave without the consent of the same authority, so that while we place him there and pay his salary, if for any cause we think it best he should not remain there any longer, others must dismiss him. In these cases our duty is clear, to make no difference what­ ever in our line of action, only to pay a teacher as long as we think he is suitable for his work, and then if he plead that he cannot leave owing to this new law, refer him to the Educational Department for his salary ! It very nearly came to this in one case I had to do with. At present, however, there is no practical difficulty in working with the Government, nor is it very likely there will be so long as the present Queen and Prime Minister are at the head of affairs. But although this is so, it certainly adds another to what may be the difficulties connected with the uncertain future, o f which our hearts are often full. It is also much to be regretted that another year has passed away without anything being done towards the gradual abolition o f slavery. This we fear is a trouble o f the future; each year brings out more prominently the terrible evils of the system, and its injurious effects upon master and slave. The people’s hearts are hardened, and they will not heed that which their conscience is telling them. 41 We often need to be reminded that this work is not our work, but God’s, Who could, if He wished, carry it all on without us. We are so apt to think and speak o f it as our work, as though we were anything, when in fact we are nothing. Is it to let us feel this more and more that He is permitting our numbers to become so few ? or why is it that they are so few ? for when the enlarged area of our work is considered, we never were so few as we are now, and shall be for some seven or eight months. It may be that God is thus teaching us all, whether in England or Madagascar, that we must look to Him only for what we need. He has helped us in the past, and I doubt not but that at the right time His call will go forth to others to leave their own land, and come out "here. That these, whoever they be, may be willing in the day of their call, is often the prayer of our hearts. HENRY E. CLARK.

No. 3. R. M. CLARK’S REPORT.

On looking back at the past year in connection with my Glass o f women, and counting up their marks for attendance, I am glad to see that they have been extremely diligent, a larger proportion than usual being present regularly. Perhaps it may be thought that regular attendance is not necessarily a sign o f diligence, but with grown-up people who have the option of coming or staying away, and are not accountable to parental or governmental authority, as are children in a school, I think it may be considered as a proof of diligence. Those composing the class are, with few exceptions, those who were in it a year ago ; and the greater number of the women who came to us first, more than ten years ago, are still coming, though the number has been increased from 20 to 60 or 70. Indeed, our scholars seldom leave, unless they 42 many to a distant part, or go into the country with a husband whose fanompoana, or teaching, takes him there ; occasionally one has to be sorrowfully dismissed for immoral conduct, with hopes on the teacher’s part of restoration at some future day. In the Sewing Class many garments have been made, and sold at cost price to the women; a good many vests for winter wear have been either crochet«! or knitted, and various fancy things have been made as affording a little variety from plain sewing. Many hours have been spent in the preparation o f Bible lessons, (still) from the 11 History of Moses ” as deduced from Exodus, Leviticus, and Numbers ; and on our last gathering before the Christmas holidays each scholar received a little pamphlet containing about fifty questions and answers on the Tabernacle and the meaning of its appurtenances and or­ dinances as typical of the Gospel. These have been studied during the holidays, and now that we have re-assembled and our lessons have been resumed I sometimes wish that dear friends in England could see how much interest is taken in these lessons. This afternoon, for instance, the one hour so spent seemed all too short; and many faces looked quite beaming as, by comparing and reading together different chapters in Numbers, the readers seemed for the first time to see something o f the skill and wisdom exhibited in the marching orders for so great a multitude as the Children of Israel, and for the safe transport o f the Tabernacle. These weekly classes were held every Monday and Tuesday o f last year, excepting in our holidays, and one week when I was away in the country with my husband, examining and teaching classes o f women and girls at Arivonimamo, a place in which we have long been interested. The wife o f the evangelist there was one of my scholars in town for several years, and now has a capital class o f young women at Arivonimamo; whilst staying there, we were seeing them almost constantly either at the house in which we lodged, or in the chapel and schoolroom (both in one), or at their 43 teacher’s house, where, before leaving, I met more than thirty young women and girls, and we had together a Bible lesson, followed by a presentation of half-a-dozen babies by their proud mothers, who received for their little ones each a small shirt crocheted of wool or made of pieces of flannel neatly sewn in my town class. Then the babies were dismissed, and the sewing o f various kinds was produced ; each scholar had her own bag with her name sewn on, and as their teacher put down before me for inspection a large basket full of these bags, she remarked, “ What I learned with you I teach here.” Which simple remark made me almost tremble, shewing as it did that our most trifling deeds must produce a result either for good or for e v il; indeed, when recalling it subsequently I have wished that it may be an instigation to increased diligence and watchfulness on my part. R. M. CLARK.

No. 4. ANNIE PUMPHREY’S REPORT.

L ast year the report of my work had mostly to do with the school at Ambohitantely; this year I must refer to the two schools, that at Ambohitantely, and the Girls’ School at Faravohitra, my time having been partly given to the one and partly to the other. The report I have to give, there­ fore, naturally divides itself into two parts. To begin, then, with Ambohitantely. The greater part of my time from January to May was occupied in this school. Since then, owing to Miss Brockway leaving, I have been engaged in the school at Faravohitra, the con­ sequence being that I have only been able to give a mere modicum of my time to the former. The Friday afternoons, when not otherwise engaged,have been so devoted, there being no teaching then at the school at Faravohitra. Such being the case, I am not able to give so satisfactory a report of the progress or diligence of the children as I should otherwise 44 most probably have been able to do. Nevertheless the work has not deteriorated to the extent that might have been feared. The daily attendance for the whole year has averaged ninety. The five teachers have continued at their post'with but slight interruptions, and most of them have worked well. Several of the girls have been transferred to the school at Faravohitra during the year ; the majority of these being now in the higher classes. The upper boys were drafted off to Ambohijatovo at the opening of the present session. • Since the middle of May I have been able to do com­ paratively little for the children at Ambohitantely, all my tíme and energies having been required at the school for women and girls at Faravohitra. For a period of three years previously Miss Brockway had greatly assisted Miss Gilpin in this school; and her proficiency in the language, as well as her powers as a disciplinarian, combining gentleness with firmness, had enabled her very successfully to do her share of the work. Mr. Clemes had just commenced the yearly examination, and I was glad of the opportunity of being present that I might see what were the actual attainments of the children. At'the close of the examination, we broke up school for the winter vacation, giving an unusually long holiday of seven weeks, during which time various repairs of the schoolroom were executed. The roof was re-thatched, and the walls were whitewashed and wainscoted, much improving the com­ fort and appearance of the room. The Fandróana holiday of a fortnight again interrupted the work only seven weeks after its recommencement, but fortunately we did not have another break until towards the end of December. We arranged this Christmas for Ambohitantely school to have its vacation whilst the Faravohitra school was still at work, and vice verm. This has given us opportunity for examining the two schools, which, if we would have both teachers and scholars keep up to the mark, is very necessary. 45 Ramatoa, our oldest teacher, whom Friends in England have often heard of, is still with us, and is as energetic and as anxious for the best welfare of her beloved charge as ever. She teaches the students’ wives who come up from the country to learn with us, while their husbands are being taught at Ambohijatovo. She has two native helpers in this useful work. In addition to these there are nine other women teachers, and one young man, who takes the higher classes in arithmetic and grammar. Our first class teacher is Randianina, a nice, useful girl, who formerly lived with Miss Gilpin as one of her adopted daughters. She left to be married, and has now two little children; but, notwithstanding the cares of a family, she still continues her work at the school. Our second class teacher is Rake- taka, whom Friends will remember as living with Mrs. Clark until her marriage with Frank. Rasoanjanahary, at present living with Miss Gilpin, has charge of the lowest class, and is likely to make a good teacher. All our native helpers, with but two exceptions, are married ; and a few of them have children learning in the school. On the whole their attendance is regular, but occasionally we have to arrange for their absence. To supply their places at such times is the duty of the four girls who are at the head of the first class. These are called impanampy (helpers), and for these occasional calls upon their services we give them a shilling each per month. This acts as a stimulus to the girls below, for the Malagasy are extremely fond of money, and, however wealthy their parents may be, they are nevertheless glad to attain to the position of impa­ nampy, and thus receive the, monthly shilling. I do not mean to imply by this that all the natives engage in teaching from purely mercenary motives; some of them do so from very love of the work. The hours of instruction are as follows : every morning, except Saturday, from 8 o’clock to 10.30, and on Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 10.30 to 11.30, when the 46 third and fourth classes only remain to learn English. The afternoons are devoted entirely to classes for the teachers and more advanced scholars, except for two hours on the Monday and Wednesday afternoons, when the whole school is occupied in learning sewing of various kinds. We have classes for plain sewing, wool work, crochet, knitting, tatting, crewel and Irish work, and embroidery. The wool work, which is executed by the older girls, we sell here at good profit, the proceeds of which go towards helping to pay the embroiderers. The plain sewing is done entirely by the children in the lower classes, and by the time they have risen to the higher classes they have made sufficient progress to be advanced to fancy work. The garments made are are mostly bought by the Malagasy ; some, however, are purchased by ladies of the Missions as presents for their servants at Fandroana and Christmas time. The Irish and crewel work we also sell here ; but a large proportion of the other work, being mostly done by learners, is of com­ paratively little value. These pupils, however, by the time they leave school are able to take in fancy work, by which they earn a little money. A good work is being done in this way, as the time thus occupied would probably other­ wise be «pent in a profitless manner. This is especially true of the embroiderers, who often astonish us by the excellence and cleanliness of their work, considering the dirty houses in which they live. From the amount of sewing done in the school, it is obvious that a great deal of fitting and preparation is required. Most of this is undertaken or superintended by Miss Gilpin, who in order to keep up with the requirements of the school, is obliged to devote a good portion of her time to it. Mrs. Standing has kindly undertaken the large class for crocheting, in which the girls are now making rapid progress, and no doubt ere long we shall have some speci­ mens of this work also for sale. Some months ago, a certain amount of work was marked 47 out for each class, and in this they were examined at the close of the year. The ten classes were tested in the following subjects: Reading, Writing, Arithmetic, Mental Arithmetic, Geography, Dictation, and Old and New Testa­ ment History. Six out of these ten classes (i.e., the higher ones) were also examined in Grammar, five in English, five in Scriptural Geography, and four in Drawing. Two of the classes (first and second) were required to give their answers on paper, seven on slates, the lowest class of all being sub­ jected to a merely viva voce examination. With regard to attendance at school, it may give some idea of how quickly our numbers change to state that during the last seven or eight months, twenty-six of our scholars have left us. Of these, five have married, five have left Antananarivo; three, being slaves, have been required to do service for their masters; two have removed to the Roman Catholic School ; the remainder having left for sundry other reasons. The number of those who have entered the school during the same period is forty-three. Of these, twenty-nine have come from other town schools; two, who had learned in this school some years ago, have returned ; and six are entirely new, not having learned at any school previously. As ours is intended for higher education than can be had in the chapel schools, we do not usually receive children who cannot read at all; but we have latterly made a few exceptions to this rule at the request of Ramatoa, whose class was not half full. We have no wish to give a wrong impression as to the standard of attainments in our school. Even the cleverest girls are far behind what we should like to see them in most subjects. This, however, cannot be wondered at when it is remembered that two-and-a-half hours a day is all the school­ ing most of our girls get. And even this is irregular, as may be seen from the fact that during the last six months (I cannot speak of the time previous to this) not one of all our scholars, except those who live in the house with Miss 48 Gilpin, appears in the register as never absent and never late. Had I some years of work still before me in this school, I should like to have afternoon teaching for all. Still, while we prize most highly what is commonly known as secular knowledge, it is not this we desire most for our girls. Scripture teaching with moral and religious lessons drawn from the subjects taught, is best calculated to do them real good, as indeed in many instances we have experienced. In addition to Scripture teaching in classes, our custom is to give each girl a verse of Scripture each day to be committed to memory; and though they may not fully appreciate this now, there may come a time when the texts and chapters thus learned will prove an invaluable blessing to them. Many will remain with us only a short time, but we trust that even when they may have forgotten everything else they have learned, the lessons and words they have been taught from the best of books may still remain fresh in their memory. We know that in trying to teach from the written word of God we do not labour in vain, for we have the encouraging promise that it will not return unto Him void, but shall accomplish that which He pleases, and shall prosper in the thing whereto He sent it. A. PUMPHEEY. Faravohitra, January 15th, 1882.

Xo. 5. H. F. STANDING’S REPORT. As it is not yet eight months since my wife and I arrived in Antananarivo, and much of my time since our arrival has necessarily been spent in acquiring the language, it seems rather premature to be writing a report of my work; still, as I have had sole charge of the boys’ school at Ambohijatovo during the past six months, and have also had our district 49 in Avaratr’ Ankaratra under my care, something in the way of a report will be expected from me. The new buildings at Ambohijatovo we find very conve­ nient ; indeed, I think I may say Without presumption that we have the most commodious as well as handsome school buildings in the Capital. And this fact certainly has its moral influence on the children in making it easier to incul­ cate habits of neatness, care of property, &c., and in raising the tone of the school. The new buildings were formally opened by the Prime Minister on 7th Mo. 15 (the day of William Johnson’s depar­ ture), when a large body of natives, as well as missionaries of the F.F.M.A, L.M.S., and N.M.S., assembled. Several addresses were given appropriate to the occasion, some referring to the establishment of the school in 1870, to its progress, the useful positions taken by many who had passed through it as scholars or teachers; others giving suitable advice to the teachers and parents present. The opportunity was evidently appreciated by both natives and missionaries. There was also a gathering of a more social character a week previously, at which a large number of missionaries of the three societies mentioned above sat down to tea in the large central schoolroom. Admiral Gore Jones and his suite, who were in the Capital at the time on Government business, also accepted an invitation to be present. With regard to the work being done at Ambohijatovo, I think there is great cause for encouragement; the number of scholars at the present time (1st Mo. ’82) is greater than it has ever been previously (viz., 209 boys and 43 students), and the attendance during the past six months has in the majority of cases been very satisfactory. Prizes were given when we dispersed for the Christmas holidays to between forty and fifty boys who had never missed attendance at both morning and afternoon school, and had come punctu­ ally every day during the half-year. D 50 The staff of teachers certainly do credit to their previous training under Joseph Sewell and William Johnson, and they give me their hearty co-operation in a way which seems to indicate that they have the welfare of the school at heart. Hitherto my work has been chiefly that of supervision, and the opportunity thus afforded of prosecuting my studies o f the language has been of great value to me. I have, however, taken some part in the teaching, having had drawing lessons each week with the first four classes, as well as taking two or three other subjects with the first class. We have now lost the valuable assistance of Frank, whose services since the departure of Samuel Clemes have been required at the printing office, so that for thè present the teaching of the first class will chiefly devolve upon me. I am not, however, intending to confine my attention to one class, but to have all the school more or less under my direct teaching several times a week. I have introduced one or two new subjects into the currículums:—elementary science all through the school, in the lower classes partaking more of the form of object lessons. Drawing, too, which has hitherto beén taught only in the upper classes, we are extending to the whole school. I have thought also that a little drilling two or three times a week will be advantageous, both in quickening the attention of the scholars and in improving their carnage, which, though often graceful, is frequently more suggestive dì indolence than of native grace. One serious drawback one feels in looking at their physical needs is the want of a playground adjoining the school ; almost the whole of our land is now occupied with the school buildings, and the remaining space is not nearly adequate for the requirements of so large a number of boys. That the boys would appreciate organised English games was evident from the interest they took in some simple athletic competitions which we arranged on the day they 51 dispersed for the summer holidays. The absence of such well-organised out-door games is certainly a drawback, both from a physical and moral point of view, as at present the children get but little of what an English boy would think of as active exercise. When not at school, they spend much of their time in sitting on the floors of their houses at home, idly probably for the most part, though we do secure that they spend some time to profit by giving short lessons to be learnt at home in the evenings, and Isaac Brown’s kind present of money for prizes is still stimulating some of the older boys to a useful employment of their leisure time. I am just beginning classes with the fourteen teachers in English, Algebra, Geometry, and School Method. They seem very anxious to learn; some of them have already made very good progress in English, which fact I have found not a little help to me in the management of the school. Before passing on from this brief notice of our large town school, I wish to pay a tribute of grateful appreciation of the work done by my predecessors, in this department of our mission field. I feel truly that “ other men have laboured and I have entered into their labour ”—theirs was the laborious task of laying the foundations, the uphill work of establishing the school and tending it in its infancy, under circumstances which must have been far less favour­ able than those which now fall to my lot; and certainly the results bear witness to the thoroughness and zeal with which this has been done. I wish also to acknowledge the Lord’s help and guidance, which have been graciously granted to myself during the somewhat trying time of settling into new work,, with many new responsibilities, and which an imperfect knowledge of the language rendered no less trying. Of the other branches of my work I have not very much to write. Since William Johnson left I have had the district of Avaratr’ Ankaratra under my care. I have visited the monthly meeting regularly, and have also attended the First 52 Day morning meeting once at most of the Churches, In 12th Month last I examined the schools (eight in number). Of 346 children on the registers, 264 presented themselves for examination; a considerable proportion of these, how­ ever, had only recently entered the schools, many of them on account of the recent Kabary, which now makes educa­ tion compulsory. Of those who were examined, 53 passed in Reading (Standards 4 and 5).* It will be remembered that in William Johnson’s last report he speaks of this district having “ suffered a good deal from interruptions and unsettlement caused by a few men of position . . . who preferred that the work there should be kept in abeyance rather than that they should lose their influence over the people.” This unsettlement is still to some extent felt. Our advice to them has been to remain quiet, and to endeavour to show a spirit of Christian forbearance; and I trust that, notwithstanding the unsettlement, some real progress is being made, though to me, coming fresh to a country district like this, knowing little or nothing of their previous condition, it is not easy to estimate the extent of that progress. Since Samuel Clemes’s departure I have also had the 16 Churches in the Home District under my care; but, since my work here has as yet hardly begun, and 1 have no doubt Samuel Clemes will refer to these Churches in his report, I will not attempt any account of the work being carried on in this district. “ The harvest truly is great, and the labourers are few ”—

* It has been customary to rive a small prize to those scholars who pa®! well in these examinations, ana I think the prospect of this has a really good effect, in stimulating some to exertion. But, not having come out provided with a stock of suitable articles, one finds difficulty, both with regard to the town and country schools, in providing prizes which will not be too expensive, and yet will be valued by the children. If any kind friends are so disposed, they would be doing us a real service in sending out a supply of small, cheap articles, such as penknives, pencil-cases, pocket combs, magni­ fying glasses, scissors, &c.—in fact, anything almost wnich would be appre­ ciated by an English school-boy or school-girL 58 few, indeed, we who remain feel ourselves to be, with the work of many pressing on the shoulders of two or three. “ Pray ye, therefore, the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.”

REPORT OF THE MEDICAL MISSION, ANTANANARIVO, MADAGASCAR, FOR 1881.

INTRODUCTORY. B e f o r e alluding to the work of the past year it may be well to remark that the Medical Mission is still in its infancy, and therefore not only we cannot reasonably expect to be able to chronicle much in the way of results, but also there is still a good deal to be said in regard to the difficulties which have recently or do still beset the progress of the work. Some may be surprised to hear this, knowing how long ago it is since the Hospital at Analakely was first built, and how many earnest years of work have been spent here by Dr. Davidson and others. It would not be just to ignore this pioneer work, and if we did so, it would probably prevent our taking a clear view of the present. There is no doubt that a very great and lasting good had been performed by the Medical Mission before the work was re-opened in 1880 under the joint auspices of the L. M S. and the F. F. M. A. And it may be well to say a few words on the general results of this as they affect the work at present.

RETROSPECTIVE. Some may think that the results of such work must all rest in individual cases:—as to the body, patients who have been cured or relieved : and as to the soul, sinners and back­ 54 sliders who have been led to the Saviour of their souls or reclaimed to a life of virtue. I would be the last to under­ value such results ; but how comparatively seldom are they seen by us in proportion to the labour bestowed,—at least it is so in Madagascar—let us go on however, hoping they are oftener beheld by the Ailseeing Eye ! But the Medical Mission work at Analakely carried on from 1862 to 1876 has left results not only in individual cases of benefit received, many of which I often meet with, but also in other more general respects, and I will mention two that have come under my observation, lstly, the students and nurses trained in the Hospital, and now prac­ ticing as native Doctors and midwives ; and 2ndly, the effect on Public Opinion. As to the first, though many of those trained in medical knowledge may, in their personal charac­ ter, have shewn but little gratitude to their benefactor when a political cloud came over the work in consequence of which it was stopped, and though they have more or less degenerated in their knowledge for want of European and medical oversight, yet on all sides it is admitted that the training of them was a great boon to the people; and I look upon it as my duty to follow to the best of my ability in the same course. Secondly, as to the effect on such public opinion as may be said to exist here, there are now in Antananarivo a large proportion of the people who are very ready to seek European treatment when ill, leaving their native nostrums and charms. In many cases they are quite willing to submit to operations even those of a grave charac­ ter and with all the risks fully represented to them. In proportion however as the patients come from the more distant parts they are distrustful and afraid of the European and his treatment, and when they get over this, many of them have the idea that we possess some marvellous power to cure them in any case if we will! There are how­ ever exceptions, for in many districts where the missionary has been long at work there are more sensible ideas, as I 55 have especially noticed in the natives from Vonizonga, the Ambohitantely District, etc. The change in Public Opinion has been especially marked in regard to willingness to enter the Hospital and be attended to away from their homes. When first opened, I hear, it was hard to get the patients to come into it, and it seemed necessary at that time to divide up the wards of the Hospital into a number of little compartments one for each patient, these being occupied by the patient, family, relations, slaves and accompaniments of cookery, eta, just as in their own mudfloored houses ! We need not discourse on the unhealthiness and other defects of such a system, but it served its day! Now however many of the natives greatly wish to avail themselves of the advantages of the Hospital, though the greater number of them would have been glad if we had continued the old style; but there is still a considerable proportion of the population, even here in town, who never seek treatment for their ailments and live or die unrelieved, some with easily curable or pre­ ventive diseases! As futher results of the work of our predecessor« those more immediately connected with the churches may be able to trace that the harm of the degradation to which sin leads may have been more deeply impressed upon some of the people by the Medical Mission than it could have been with­ out such an agency, and that in consequence the number of those who strive to live a pure life may be greater—albeit how very few comparatively that number is! Also that improvements in personal cleanliness and other matters relating to the preservation of health may have taken place. I am also' indebted to Dr. Davidson, Dr. Mackie and Dr. Parker for some books for medical education translated by them. RECOMMENCEMENT OF WORK. In re-opening the work under new auspices, it became our duty to consider these steps that had already been gained, 56 and raise the standard to be aimed at higher than that to which others had under greater difficulties attained. We have had in every department of the work to lay down fresh lines of action, well considering the native pre­ judices, but not readily compromising in matters of import­ ance. Let us now glance at the various departments of the work. OUT-PATIENT DEPARTMENT. In regard to the time spent in seeing them, the out patients have been more absorbing than any other single branch of the work. Most of the mornings and afternoons, and some­ times till late in the evenings, of Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays have been so employed, the want of knowledge of the language making this slow work at first, and a good deal of incidental instruction being given to the students over the cases. However, as the other parts of the work are increasing and the language is no longer a great hindrance, less time is now occupied by the out patients than formerly. The following is the number of patients seen up to December 31st, the Dispensary having been open, since its commencement on October 2nd, 1880, 56 weeks or 165 days in all. Total number of patients 2304 (average per diem 14), Repetitions 3613 (average 22), total attendances 5917 (average 36 less a fraction). Speaking roughly the first number represents the popularity of the work, the second the appreciation by the patients of the treatment received, and the third the actual work accomplished. It will be seen that the average number of times each patient applied for treatment is only 2§. Many however come over and over again; and often after being cured of one complaint come after a lapse of time with a second or third or fourth disease. In almost all these cases they are reckoned as one patient, a record being kept with medical notes taken partly by the students of every patient applying. It will be seen that to allow for this, by far the greater majority must come either with only trifling ailments 57 speedily made better, or simply to try whether a new Doctor can off hand cure some obstinate affection, to the proper treatment of which they are perhaps not willing to submit! In both these classes of cases it is common for the patients never to return after the first attendance, unless perhaps months afterwards. The patients seem greatly to appreciate, many of them, the time spent upon them, and the compara­ tive thoroughness with which in most cases their diseases are investigated. The opportunity is of great use in practical teaching to the students. And I trust, that besides endeavouring to give a religious tone to the whole by a short period of Scripture reading and prayer with the patients before they are seen each day, we are enabled in many instances individually to bring home to the minds of the people some of the more important practical lessons of Christianity—the lack of which on the part of many of the professors even, I suppose none have more opportunities of discovering to our pain than ourselves. Even in regard to the question of slavery, this work is a constant silent pro­ test and gives abundant opportunities for shewing that our sympathies are with the oppressed. There are I am glad to say other Dispensaries at work in the town besides our own: particularly, the Queen’s at the “ Avara-drdvaunder Dr. Mackie, and that of the Norwegian mission under Dr. Guld- berg. The latter of these is held by mutual agreement on different days from ours. We have no wish to see Analakely suddenly flooded by a great number of patients, as was almost the case at first. Were this speedily and permanently to be the case it would much diminish the influence for good in nearly all the points I have mentioned.

IN-PATIENT DEPARTMENT.

When the Medical Mission was to be re-opened it was towards this—the treatment in the Hospital of severe cases —that the missionaries for the sake of the people, and these 58 on their own account, looked forward, hoping that it might soon be undertaken. But there were difficulties in the way, and therefore it was not till April 20th, 1881, on our return from a stay at Jsoavina, that the first patient was received into the Hospital. On looking back to this time I think that if anything we should have acted more wisely on several accounts to have waited a little longer before taking any In-Patients. Mias Graham came from Ambohimanga in March to help in this Department, but we had no trained native nurses to begin with, the nearest approach to one, being a young woman I had been teaching the rudiments of nursing and who had some little acquaintance with sick-people in the Out-Patient Department since the commencement of the work. There were a good number of women pressing to be received and taught, and from these we have selected from time to time, but of this we shall speak again presently. The number of In-Patients received up to December 31st, is 224. The average time each of these remained in the Hospital is lob days, some staying 72, 82, etc. The average number of patients sleeping in the Hospital each night was 15 h also, but this number has been pretty steadily increas­ ing. up to 23 in November, and 20 in December; 28 was the largest number in at once on November 2nd. When first opened only the two large upstairs wards, each holding twelve, were opened, one for men and one for women. After a month or so, we were obliged to discontinue taking men for a time, in consequence of difficulties arising in regard to the nursing, and they were consequently occupied by women and children respectively ; we have had as many as fifteen in the women’s ward! The Hospital was closed for a month in September, and since this the large downstairs ward has been used for men,, and we have had the full number twelve in it several times. The two small private wards have since then been in pretty frequent use as well. It will thus be seen that the total number that could suitably be received 59 into the Hospital (I doubt they could well this hot weather though !) is about 40. We are encouraged to see that the Hospital is being appreciated more and more by the natives in spite of the carrying out of rules rather strict according to their ideas, though they would not seem so in England ! Doubtless if we had given in to the native ideas in several respects we might have had the Hospital much fuller, but in so doing the points we are striving for would have been lost—cleanli­ ness, ventilation, systematic nursing and household manage­ ment, less dependence upon the relations and a quiet influence for good upon the patients ; these and many other matters affecting the proper treatment of diseases and the best welfare of the people would have been more or less injuriously affected. The following table gives a brief abstract of the diseases treated in the Hospital last year and the results in the 208 cases (there being still 16 in the Hospital at the end of the year). '

The Diseases marked * occurred more frequently than is recorded.

The above statistics are perhaps remarkable for the large number of curable diseases in which however “ relieved ” 62 only, is given as the result! This is in consequence of the large number of complications met with in many of those whose ailments have been previously entirely neglected. In many cases where the patients seek and obtain relief from one comparatively trifling ailment, such a condition of debility and disease in other parts still remains as quite to prevent their being recorded as “ cured.” In regard to the fifth column, the number include a few cases—perhaps four or five—in which the patients were taken home by the relatives simply to die, and these would therefore swell the column of deaths if the result were known and recorded. Nevertheless in some cases of this kind patients have been taken out apparently moribund, but the crisis of their disease or some unexpected change for the better has occurred and they have recovered! In some others we cannot but believe that the fatal result has been hastened or even brought about by the exposure and cessation of the proper treatment involved in the process. But this custom of being taken home to die is one to which the Malagasy ding almost superstitiously. With regard to the kind of people we have had as patients, there has been almost every variety:—from the earnest preacher to the most degraded sinner, and from the cultured upper classes to the most ignorant slaves and country people. Those who know these people know how difficult it is rightly to estimate their religious attainment, but it is striking that one hardly ever sees anything apparently approaching what we call “ conversion.” It has been our sad lot to witness persons about to die shewing by their great unwillingness to do so that they have delayed repentance from sin too late to realize peace on thinking or hearing of the salvation offered to them. It is strange that, as in the case of one such man especially in whom dread of death seemed to exist, they seem to get the greatest relief to their feelings by the idea of being in their homes dying with all their friends, etc., thronging round them. The 63 majority of the Malagasy seem to accept death with a sort of cold fatalism; in consequence of which one has to "be very cautious of telling them when they have an incurable disease, as they sometimes, on knowing, this, make up their minds that their days are finished, and die accordingly. On the other hand we may thankfully state that a considerable number, both of those who have died and of those who have recovered, have we believe been blessed in their souls through their being in the Hospital. The following contributed by Miss Graham may interest our juvenile readers. “ Within the last few months we have had a little boy here to whom I became quite attached, about whom little girls and boys in their happy English homes may like to hear. “ This boy was probably about nine years old, and came from a distant part of the Island, where he was employed by his master as shepherd boy. He and his mother were brought up to the capital to be sold (there was a slave market here every week), but the child became very ill with typhoid fever, and was then brought to the Hospital, by his owner and his mother. The latter was so alarmed at the sight of an English lady that she ran away, and never came to see her child any more. Whilst in his own home he did not live as English shepherd boys do. He went out very early in the morning, on to the hill sides, where he stayed all day, with his flock. And no one to bring him his dinner, remaining out till 4 or it in the evening. Then he would have to gather a little dry grass with which to cook his meal of plain rice. “ The Malagasy have no coal, and have not even seen any; but the better class use wood for firing, and the poor use dried grass. There was not bread and butter or potatoes for his meal, nor milk with his rice, but a little water prepared in this way. He would leave a few grains of rice in the bottom of his clay cooking pot, allow them to bum, then pour a little water over them, which, when boiled, would according to his ideas make quite a palatable drink, as much so as tea or coffee to a little English boy. On being brought in to the Hospital, he was so ill for a fortnight, he coula not take any food, only had his lips wetted with beef tea, chicken broth, ana milk. On becoming a little stronger and able to take notice, this poor little boy was astonished to find himself in a clean, comfortable bed, to which he gave his own name, 64 Tsikirity, or “ the Sparrow." We still call this cot by that name, and should be very glad if any little boys and girls can spare any of their pocket money towards supporting a little Malagasy child in it, or if they would send out any toys or slates and pencils for little boys, and sewing materials for little girls, many of whom have not even seen a thimble, much less possessed one. As soon as they can sit up we like to interest them in this way. This little boy, though not white like those who may read this story about him, was a good, obedient little fellow, and became much attached to the Hospital indeed. When his owner came to take him away, he threw his arms round my neck and refused to go, until he was told he should come again. Since then, however, we have not heard of him. " In the women’s ward we had for six weeks an old woman who had formerly lived at Mojanga on the west coast. She was bought by a slave dealer and brought up here, when the people still prayed to idols, of which she herself possessed three. These were nothing but bits of wood. One was taken from a branch of pomegranate to preserve her from lightning and hail, and the other two were to protect her from witches and locusts. The people here think very much about how they will be buried when they die, and as she was very poor,, and was coming to a strange part of the country, she feared she might be buried without any lamba, that is what the people wear here as an outer garment, and is very like a sheet. To preserve her from so degrading a burial, this poor old woman prayed to the three idols unitedly. On recovering she left the Hospital, and we have not since heard of her. Those who read this report will see that many who come here are still no better than heathen in reality; but it is very )leasant sometimes to have those come who have been taught to {ove the true God and Saviour. For instance, one old man who was with us for a short time and then died very happily was a Pastor from one of the Churches, and had been converted during the dark days of persecution. He asked us to read to him, ana he himself prayed very often, and he spoke to the people in the ward and to the nurses, urging them to prepare for death before they should become too weak to be able to think He sang various hymns, amongst others, the beautiful old hymn, “ Rock of ages,” which has been translated into Malagasy by one of the Mission­ aries here. “ Whilst going about among the patients in our Hospital, 1 often think that our friends at home would be much interested if they could see them. I am often much amused by remarks made by patients, either children or grown-up people. 65 “ One day, when busy in the men’s ward, one of the patients, who was from the upper class of society, and had had a little education, asked me what the people did with the ships at night— if there were any houses to put them into. Another asked if the sea was always salt, and thought that if it was God must have a great deal of salt to put into it every day. The little boy before spoken of, as well as many others who have come to us, had never heard about the true God or a Saviour ; but we hope that words of prayer, or verses read from the Bible, or coloured texts upon the wall, which some of them can read, may be blessed to the saving of their souls. And now, dear friends, in conclusion, we ask for your prayers for a blessing on our work in this island. We are fax away from many of our loved ones, yet we know that we receive many blessings through their prayers for us. Prayer is as it were the messenger that goes from earth to heaven, and returns with all needful blessings ; and may the blessing of our heavenly Father rest upon all the workers in His vineyard, whatever part they, may take, and upon all those among whom it is our privilege to work.” There is no doubt that the hospital atmosphere is one which influences for good the moral, physical, and religious life of the patients. We do not say that all submit to and come under this influence for we know it to be far otherwise, but there it is to those who will benefit by it. Miss Graham spends most of her time in the wards, looking after the nursing, cooking, visiting, and other departments, and con­ versing with the patients on lively subjects to distract their attention from their own ills, and on religious things striving to lead them aright. The Scriptures are read daily by one of the men helpers, a bright, intelligent fellow, and besides this I have a simple Bible-reading in the wards every Sunday. The patients are also very grateful for visits from the missionaries from time to time, though these are each so much taken up with their various work, that I am sorry to say it has hitherto been but seldom that they have been given. My wife goes down and helps in the nursing and in the various household arrangements, as often as she can, but this has varied in frequency from daily to once a week or more rarely even. £ 66

STUDENT WORK.

The first medical students were two lads educated at Ambohijatovo, who were taken on early in consequence of the need of an interpreter in the language. They used to come up every afternoon to my study, and I gave them their first ideas in Anatomy, Physiology, Chemistry, etc., whilst at the same time learning Malagasy myself. Down at Analakely three days a week they soon learnt to help me in the out-patient department as clinical clerks, and under my wife’s instruction leamt to dispense the medicines. Once a week they would see and help me vaccinate, and soon they came to going out on their own account into the suburbs and country with a supply of lymph, vaccinating the people during the epidemic of small-pox. In February, after a preliminary examination by G. Cousins and S. Clemes, in the subjects taught in the higher educational establishments here, four more lads were received; also fruits of the work at Ambohijatovo: and the medical education of these six students has been and is gradually assuming a more organized shape. . Let me mention, however, to those who wonder why twenty or thirty should not be so received, that their education is necessarily very much of the character of that of our forefathers, when to become surgeons they were apprenticed to a country practitioner with a large Union appointment, for instance—or rather to what corresponded to it in those days. The doctor had not time in that case to give very regular and systematic theoretical instruction, but to the diligent there are abundant opportunities for learning, practically, * the art of the hand/’ as well as con­ siderable leisure for reading, to make up for the deficiency of lectures. So, whilst I am alone in the work, it is as much as I can do to look after the medical studies of these six lads, prepare for them some o f the many lesson books which are still needed, and give them lectures, between my 67 attendance of the patients. And therefore I have deferred taking any more fresh students till some of these shall he able to give them elementary lectures, whilst I continue to lead forward the old ones. The students have already some idea of general and regional Anatomy, the use of medicines, and much mis­ cellaneous knowledge of diseases, etc. They need much looking after to keep them up to a work which necessarily cannot be bound down to hard and fast routine, but are now a considerable help, though not yet so considerable that their occasional absence on a holiday is not a great relief! Since the in-patients have been taken they have been given regular duties connected with them, for which they are in turn responsible, and this system seems on the whole to answer, by giving them more interest in their work. It will thus be seen that the medical education of these lads and of such others as are suitable to be received from time to time, is really more than I can accomplish single- handed, in addition to the increasing directly medical work and the occasional attendance of about fifteen missionaries and their families. But here it is with great pleasure that I gratefully acknowledge the help of one of my fellow missionaries, Mr. T. Lord, of the L.M.S., who kindly under­ took in November last to give the students lessons in Chemistry, with experiments performed with apparatus in his charge. The students very much appreciate the advantage of these lectures and the care to give them a thorough grounding in the rudiments of the science, whilst I on my part have one subject less to teach and have observed the improvement in their grasp of those parts of the practical work, such as dispensing, etc., which are so intimately con­ nected with Chemistry.

VACCINATION. Previous to May last this was carried on energetically— especially being sought after by the people during the 68 epidemic of small-pox in and near the capital. After that, unfortunately, the supply of fresh lymph became exhausted, and it has not yet been re-established. The small-pox having departed also, remaining only in the distant country districts, the ardour of the people on the subject has cooled, rendering it difficult to obtain the succession of fresh cases; but now (February, 1882), I hope this may soon be done. I cannot give the total number vaccinated, but think it must be several thousands. While it lasted we were also con­ stantly sending lymph out into the country, especially to Antsihanaka, Vonizonga, Betsileo, and various parts of Imerina. Only humanized lymph has been hitherto used ; sent out, in the first instance, from England.

COUNTRY WORK. It will be remembered that most of the missionaries whose work lies in the country, have more or less experience in the treatment of at least the more common and simple diseases, and thus medical mission work of a considerable extent is carried on by them, with great benefit to the natives. From those so engaged we often get cases sent up to town for further medical advice or for operation, and thus the work is in harmony* to the mutual advantage of the various branches. We often wish we could do more for the benefit of the country, where in many places the sick have no one to offer them relief: so different to the condition of the town where there are several separate dispensaries! At the close of the year we undertook if possible to con­ tinue the work of a small dispensary held previously by Mr. Clemes in the Friends’ district This I hope before very long to be able to work through my students with only occasional oversight; and if this plan succeeds it may prove a means by which branches of the work at Analakely may be extended into the most needy country districts, by native agency. 69

TRAINING OF NURSES. Under this head might be gathered a good deal of a dis­ couraging nature:—the failure of the committee at home to send out a qualified nurse to superintend this department; the defects of the native women who have been under training—ignorance, want of truthfulness, moral tone, per­ severance and cleanliness, etc.; also that so far the important work of training midwives carried on by Dr. Davidson and Mrs. Hogg, has not yet been able to be renewed. The first young woman we took on to learn nursing gave the greatest promise of any, but eventually caused the greatest dis­ appointment. Numbers of women have come to learn for the novelty of it, and soon left—not to our regret usually. However, we are thankful that we have “ got along” as well as we have, and that Miss Graham has been able to keep her health in the press that has sometimes—nay almost constantly—been upon her: for instance, the morning after pay day the two nurses do not make their appear­ ance to take their share of work. We have now as fair a staff as perhaps ever before, with Razafy, one of Dr. Davidson’s trained mid wives and the former nurse of the S. P. G. Hospital at Ankorahotra, at their head. Nevertheless to find the imperfect way the nursing is carried out, especially at night, is often very trying to one’s patience.

CONCLUSION.

But the work is worth some effort and patience to live through all these little difficulties. Sometimes one is almost overcome by observing how slow the people are to adopt habits of cleanliness. But I am often thankful for the assured faith that the end is victory, even if distant; and then one can cheerfully spend a long day in striving to do even a very little work, if not obviously progressing yet holding 70 up the standard against the floods which would fain sweep it away.

MEMORANDA ON THE ACCOUNTS. The Total Expenditure of the Medical Mission assuming a continuation of its present proportions (including the ex­ penses of J. T. Fox and family, and of all goods, drugs, etc., is estimated at £700 per annum—and of this sum the pay­ ments of the Patients may be expected to contribute about one-seventh part, or £ 100. The current expenses connected with the In-patients— not including fixed expenses such as Miss Graham’s salary and not including medicines—have been totalled for each month the Hospital was open, and compared with the average number of patients. From this it appears that, though the proportion varies somewhat, it costs about eight- pence to keep one patient in the Hospital a day and a night — that is 4s. 8d. a week, or a little over £12 a year for each becT constantly occupied. This is assuming the Hospital to be pretty fulL It will thus be seen that the eighteen pence a week, which the In-Patients, with exceptions, contribute, is only a small proportion of the direct cost of their mainte­ nance —not even enough to supply the food consumed alone. The receipt of the following gifts for the Hospital is gratefully acknowledged—viz. :—

BA.L MUKAND’S REPORT.

Oh, what a blessed thing it is that God has chosen us to be His messengers ! May He give us His holy Spirit that like Paul we may become more and more glad and zealous in the Gospel preaching. Do not our hearts bum for sorrow when we see so many o f our brethren over all the world leading their life without the knowledge o f the true Saviour? We thank God that many here seem to be awaking from their sleep. I think the Lord is going to bless us in this town. Hundreds of people have heard the name o f Jesus who never heard it before. God has said, “ My word shall not return unto me void,” and what God has promised shall come to pass. The work in Sohagpur is increasing daily. We hold meetings almost every day in different quarters o f the town. The people are of different opinions about it Some say that the Hindu religion is false and only made by men, and that the Christian religion is indeed the Word o f God. Some say that they will give their hearts to God, but will not eat with Christians or leave their caste. Many say that when all the people believe in Jesus they will follow them. Others say that all the people o f Sohagpur will become Chris­ tians in twenty years. Many believe on Jesus Christ with their 72 hearts and minds, and it is known by their conduct and great love for the preaching and for Christians. They are always ready to receive us gladly, and are always attentive to the Gospel o f Christ, and if any one interrupts us when we are preaching they are always ready to help us. Our Sunday Meeting at the Refreshment Room, for the Europeans, is also increasing, and many people who were far away from the love o f God now come to their Saviour again. The village work is also prosperous. On the Third Month 1st, I had a very good time among the Chamars at Hoshangabad. I said to them, “ Man cannot save himself by his own righteousness, but man can be justified by believing on Jesus Christ There is no man good and just but Jesus Christ, the Incarnation o f God, who, being made man, came to destroy your sins and mine through His sacrifice on the cross. Now if we believe on Him we shall be justified freely through His blood.” They said, “ This is quite true. Our gurus are cheaters and all sinners. They cannot destroy our sins at a ll” I preached twice in the Bazaar at Hoshangabad with Mr. Baker and Ali Bakhsh, and the Lord’s Spirit was with us. A Mussulmans were listening, but when we preached that Jesus Christ was crucified for our sins, and that if we believe on Him we shall be saved, they went away. Then I said to them, u Brethren, you are going away now, but where will you fly on the day of judgment ? ” I have visited Matapura three times, and once when I was preaching among the Chamars there, an European Christian came, and being thirsty asked for water, which a Chamar gave him in his own brass pot, and did not observe caste. When I said to them, “ This is a nice thing,” they answered, “ There is no caste before God, but people observe caste through their foolishness.” On my third visit I preached in the house o f a tailor, and sang many hymns, by which the people’s minds were pricked, and they said, “ Praise be to that God, who out o f His mercy sent Jesus 73 Christ No knowledge can be compared with the knowledge o f Jesus. Truly He is greatly kind that He gave Himself for sinners.” One Mussulman was so struck with this that he began to sing hymns with me, and he told the people, “ This religion is very good, and the Lord Jesus will come at the last day, and whoever does not believe on Him will be punished.” It is understood that this man’s mind is filled with the love of Jesus. I visited Grunj three times during March, and preached among the Kabir-Panthis and Chhipas, and once I had a very good time. I sang a hymn and then read Romans i. 18-23— u Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into the like­ ness of an image of corruptible man, and of birds, and four- footed beasts, and creeping things.” The people on hearing it said, “ Such were our forefathers, and we have now left the true God, and worship creation of every kind.” I told them, “ Brethren, the kind God calls you now that you may believe on Jesus Christ, and have peace between God and you.” They said, “ The words of the Lord Jesus Christ are very good, but our minds are so fixed on the world that we cannot get it ou t” I answered, “ Brethren, ask God and He will give you the Holy Ghost, by which you may leave the worldly mind and become the elect of God, and put on the new and living manhood without which nobody can see God.” The Kabir-Panthis and Chhipas pay much attention to the Word o f God, and our hope is that ¿hey may become living and faithful witnesses o f Christ One morning I went to the tank where some fakirs dwell, and by the grace o f God I had a long talk with them. They acknowledged themselves sinners, and said that none but the true God can save them. They also said that caste is made by people and is vain. I preached to them the Gospel of Jesus, with which they were very pleased, and I gave them tracts which they read. I visited Matapura twice and preached there. Once I sat 74 in a fakir’s house and had a long talk with the people about the Lord Jecus Christ The fakir asked me, “ How can we get rid o f sin which is so painful to us? I answered, u Come to Jesus Christ,” and, turning to Romans x, read, “ The Word is nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart; that is, the word o f faith, which we preach: because if thon shalt confess with thy mouth Jesus as Lord, and shalt believe in thy heart that God raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved: for with the heart man believeth unto righteous­ ness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.’1 The poor people also heard the Gospel o f Jesus ; may God give His Spirit to them that they may throw away their sins before the cross of Christ! Blessed be the Name o f the Lord that He is praised by the poor ! I also visited the sweepers o f Sohagpur several times during March. They with their women hear the Word o f God very gladly. One o f these women asked me, “ Can your Jesus Christ destroy all people’s sins ? ” I read John in, and told them, “ Christ will save any sinner who comes to Him, and will take him to heaven where there is always happiness.” ■. One day I sat in a Patwa’s house with the Patel’s brother and many other people. After singing some hymns and reading Matthew viL, I had a long talk with the old Patwa. The poor man had just returned from pilgrimage, having spent plenty o f money over it, I asked him, “ Are your sins gone? ” He answered, “ No, brother.” “ Then what profit is there o f your pilgrimage ? ” I replied. After a long talk, he asked me, u What shall I do, then, that I may get rid of my sins ? ” I answered, “ Love the Lord Jesus Christ with thy whole heart, brother.” He said to me, “ This is quite right, but I cannot profess it before the people, because all would call me defiled.” u Do not fear the world,” I told him, (i because when you die the world will not go with you. I f you acknowledge Jesus Christ before all men, Jesus Christ will acknowledge you before God. You are ashamed of Him 75 now, but Jesus Christ, who is sitting at the right hand of God, when He was upon the earth, was not ashamed, while He was persecuted and crucified for us, but with great love He sacrificed Himself for us. 0 ! brother, only through Him can we be redeemed.’ ’ One day I sat on a well, and four or five people came to me, and I began to sing, and then fifty or sixty people came, and I read John x. Among them was an old man who was deaf. He said to me, ££ 0 preacher of the Book, I wrought many sins and went many pilgrimages. Show me any charm by which I may get happiness in mind, and also destroy my sins.” I went to his car, and said to him, “ God has become incarnate to save sinners, Jesus was crucified for them, and rose again. Jesus Christ is the sinner’s Friend; whoever believes on Him shall never perish.” Under a big tree in the main bazaar at Bunkhery some bundles were lying. I sat down on one of these and started a hymn, and about a hundred men and women came and sat down under the shady tree, and for about an hour and a half they heard the precious name o f Jesus. Four village Brah­ mans were very attentive, and said, “ These things are quite true; ” and among the women one was very attentive, and asked, il What shall I get if I believe on Jesus Christ ? ” and I told her, u He shall make thy heart happy, wash away thy sins through His blood, and at the end He shall take thee to heaven that thou mayst enjoy happiness with God for ever.” As I was preaching one evening, and a great many people were hearing, a Brahman widow asked, “ Please tell me again who Jesus Christ is, and if God and Christ are one or two ? ” I answered as the Lord gave me help, telling her that Jesus Christ is the Son o f God, the Saviour and Friend o f Sinners, and that He and the Father are one. She asked more ques­ tions, and went away happy in mind and hope. While she was asking these things a great many people came and won­ dered to see a woman talking about the true God. I asked her where she lived, and she said, “ In Sonsarkhera,” a village 76 about three miles north o f Sobhapur. May God give the Holy Spirit to this woman that she may deliver the gospel news among her own native sisters. I never had such good and blessed talk with a high-caste woman in a bazaar. Four or five men who listened to us professed that the Christian religion is from God, and one said that he should become a Christian. We tell them that they must not think if they become Christians they will get their support from the Mission. I f the Mission were to do that a hundred people daily might become nominal Christians. A Christian must work with his own hands, and support his family and himself.

ALI BAKHSH’S REPORT.

D u r in g the month of March I preached the word of the Lord Jesus Christ in the mohtdlas of Hoshangabad and in the villages near. It appeal» to me that Christ has faithful ones in every place, tut for fear of the world they do not wish to make themselves known. Mr. and Mm. Baker and I went to Dongarwara and preached to the people there. A man came with two kids, and sahib asked him, “ What will you do with these ? ” He said, “ I will offer them a sacrifice to the goddess whom I acknowledge.” When Sahib said “ What is the good of that ? ” be answered, “ Their blood will be shed that I may be delivered from my sins.” Sahib then explained to him bow the Lord Jesus became a sacrifice and shed His blood for all sinners; and the man said, “ I will let the kids go." On the road near Dongarwara an old woman stopped me, saying, “ I have heard that a man comes to this village, and sometimes an Englishman also, who teaches many good things, and gives medicine to the sick, and distributes books, and I ask you about him because you have books under your arm.” I replied, “ It is padre-sahib and I who come, 77 and we read from this Book.” She said, “ I am a very old woman, and have seen a great deal of the world; now I want to hear the things of God, and find deliverance from my sins.” I read to her Luke xvii and also told her about the time when Jesus Christ came into a Pharisee’s house to eat, and a woman showed her love to Him, rubbing oint­ ment on his feet, and He forgave her sins, saying, "Thy faith hath saved thee, go in peace.” On hearing this she rejoiced and confessed, saying, “ This is the word of God, and not of man. I will believe on him, and henceforth I will not worship idols. Whenever you come here come to my house.” I went once to Adamgarh and the Native Infantry lines, where many people gathered together, and talked a great deal about Christ; and it appears that many believe on Him also. Many of these soldiers are Roman Catholics. Once the Begum of Bhopal was encamped at Joshipur with her soldiers, and twice I preached the word of Christ to them. Fifty-four men from among them gave this answer, “ The Lord Jesus is a great prophet, and we accept His teachings, but you call Him the Son of God, and on this account we get angry with you.” I showed them in the gospel of Matthew how God Himself calls Christ His Son. and again where it is written, “ God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” I have preached His word also in Kothi and Sadr bazaars, and a great many people’s faces are lifted up and they are seeking the truth. Three people came to us who wished to become Christians, saying, “ Make us members of the flock of Christ” I said to them, “ Come regularly to meeting, so that your faith may be increased Believe from your heart in the Lord Jesus Christ, and He will forgive all your sins. Then in the future you can become members.” They are still thinking about it EIGHTH ANN UAL REPORT
