The Eighteenth Annual Assembly of the Woman’s Foreign Missionary Society of the Presbyterian Church, Philadelphia, was held in Educational Hall, Asbury Park, N. J., April 25th and 26th, 1888. The weather was perfect, the arrangements for the meeting com­ plete, and although there were those who felt a sense of strange­ ness in meeting in a hall rather than a church, and some who missed the sociability of private hospitality, yet these proved in no way a hindrance, and the meetings grew in interest and power to the end. Mrs. Schenck presided with her accustomed ability. Mrs. McCauley, of Japan, made a fine address on work in that country; Mrs. Ewing on work in India; Miss Franks represented Bogota, and Miss Hull, Sao Paulo, Brazil. There were present also Miss Jones, of Africa, and Miss Fullerton, of India, and other missionaries who have been at home for a longer time. Mr. Robert Wilder spoke on Thursday afternoon, on “ The World for Christ” The evening meeting was addressed by Dr. Ellinwood on the subject of “ Higher Education in Missionary Endeavor,” and by Rev. J. M. McCauley, of Tokyo, Japan, also urging the import­ ance of higher education. In the absence of Rev. F. T. Brown, the Rev. J. H. Munro, D. D., of Philadelphia, kindly consented to preside in the evening. The increase in the Treasury of nearly $20,000— double the increase of last year— was occasion for thanksgiving and humility. The thanks of all concerned are due, and are heartily tendered, to the Committee of Arrangements for the unwearied skill and patience with which they performed their part. The watchword for the year was happily given in the closing hour, when we' were gently led from the work of the past, over which we had delightfully lingered, out into the refreshing fields o f the coming year, with the blessed assurance of Exodus 3: 12: “ Certainly I will be with thee.” He had been with us, and we adjourned on Thursday, glad to go forward another year sus­ tained by His promise to us. EIGHTEENTH ANNUAL REPORT

o r T H E

OF TH E

PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.

FOREIGN DEPARTMENT, The Eighteenth Annual Report of work on the Foreign field is no loss conspicuous as evidence of God’s goodness, His provi­ dence, His approval, than those of former years ; that His special loving care has been over us we acknowledge with thankfulness. In the Society some have been temporarily laid aside by illness; yet none have fallen by the way. Abroad, although our mis­ sionaries have been exposed to alarm, to disease, pestilence and persecution, have in many cases yielded to sickness, have passed through all the vicissitudes of travel, of differing climatic influences, yet our God has lovingly cherished each life and no death has occurred since the last report was written. Some inroad has been made, however, in the mission force by the home-coming, for various reasons, not always their own health, of 12 ladies. To strengthen the ranks thus weakened 18 new missionaries have gone out, 1 to Liberia, 1 to Mexico, 2 to India, 2 to South America, 2 to Persia, 3 to China and 4 to Japan. Six others have returned to their work after a vacation at home. Thus the number is made good and more by an increase of twelve. W e have now under our care one hundred and thirty-five missionaries, six of whom are in this country expecting to return. In the various fields results are apparent in faithful attendance in the schools, the crowding of some, like Bancho, Beirut, Woodstock; the evident respect with which matters of religion are treated, increased desire to learn, keener appreciation of the work our educated Christian women are doing, as in 6 the eagerness of zenana and Nestorian women to welcome the foreign ladies and Bible readers to their homes. Although no great revival has spread in any quarter, all these facts may be noted for our encouragement, and the year has been one of patient seed-sowing, except in some instances, notably China and Japan, where it has been a time of entering in to the labors of former years. In material accessions we have been responsible for a new school building in Kolhapore, and for houses, one in Nanking and one in Tungchow, one in Teheran, one in Jhansi, and one in Kanazawa. No estimate can be put upon boxes sent, upon the kind remembrances of friends of missions in the way of musical instruments, books, apparatus, clothing, cards, and the thousand trifles constantly passing from us to them by all the agencies of transit known to the world, and accompanied with such sympathy and tender kindness as to weld more firmly the intangible bond between us, and which, by God’s blessing, operates as a potent factor in carrying on this great enterprise. To summarize, we have in this Society: Missionaries,...... 133 Zenana Visitors and T e a c h e r s ,...... 7 Native Helpers and Bible W om en ,...... 84 Boarding Schools (whole or in p a r t ) ,...... 25 Day Schools,...... 140 Pupils in Medical C o lle g e ,...... 5 Medical Missionaries,...... 3 Missionaries under ap p oin tm en t,...... 2

INDIA.

L odi ANA.— One o f the most important branches of the work in India is the Lodiana Boys’ School, under the care of Mr. and Mrs. McComb. Its pupils number about three-score, and its usefulness is greatly enhanced by its Industrial Department. Eleven boys made profession of faith in Christ during the year, five of whom will enter the ministry, thus in a measure fulfilling the desire of the teachers that this school shall become a feeder of the Theological Seminary, and produce a native ministry. There is mentioned the triumphant death of a Christian boy; the steady advancement of another who fled by night from home where he suffered persecution; the fear of famine; the enhanced cost of all provisions, clothing, etc.; which leads to a plea for increased gifts. The industries taught must be added to; Eng­ lish teachers are employed in these departments, and the success o f the school depends largely upon the faithfulness of its friends to its support. Two ladies are asked for; and interesting classes in Bible 7

study among natives in their own tongue and in English, are additional means of making known the way of life. Mrs. C. B. Newton writes of touring, camping-out, visiting villages and telling the old, old story to those who hear it for the first time. Five months were spent in the hills, and although the actual work she has been able to do seems small in her own sight, yet she is full of an inspiring faith that God blesses the truth spoken in His name. V a g i .— With the exception of her faithful helper Ellen, Miss Thiede works alone at Vagi. The house in which she is to live, has proceeded only so far as the plans. It is to be of burnt brick and will be completed this year. It is to be large enough to accommodate two women, and she will cordially welcome a co-laborer. Miss Thiede’s itinerating and dispensary work form interesting chapters in her record, and show good results and God’s grace and power. S a b a t h u .—Mrs. Thackwell has been in the hills part of the year, and has had her hands full of domestic cares. Sickness in the family has occupied her almost entirely. D e h r a .— The inside story of the year in the Dehra School is one of care and anxiety. Measles and typhoid fever hampered the teachers and almost broke up the school. One pupil died, and a nameless fear that cholera, raging on every hand, might attack the school at any time, added to the daily burden. Yet the loving Father spared them, and gave His blessing in the faithfulness of the pupils, whose progress was satisfactory. The school had to defend itself in a lawsuit brought to recover a Mohammedan girl who had been there for some time. The case was decided against them, and the child delivered to her parents. Six girls united with the church, making a majority of the pupils on the Lord’s side. Six new girls took up mission work. Dehra has a score of these young missionaries at work among their own people, who have entered into it in the last five years. The girls are in great demand as teachers throughout the country, and two of them have been added to the staff of the school itself this year. Evidences of vitality in the religious life are particularly reassuring, because the church in Dehra suffers from the indiff­ erence of a large class of nominal Christians. W o o d s t o c k .— In Woodstock there are more pupils than ever. Progress and general discipline quite equal to that of former years. The faculty have been harassed by the great amount of sick­ ness in the school which uses strength for nursing, which should go to the higher task of teaching, and an earnest plea is made for an Infirmary with a matron in charge to meet this want. The school has enjoyed unusual spiritual advantages from the frequent visits of other missionaries, and the aim of the teachers has been to cultivate a deeper spiritual life. The results are mingled encouragement and sadness, as reports come back from pupils in their homes; but Mrs. Scott says: “ W e firmly believe that our prayers and labors will not be in vain.” Demand for admittance to this “ best school in India ” is far in excess of the limit of space, and it is with real sorrow Mrs. Scott denies the importunity of parents, who plead to have “ just my daughter” admitted, knowing that she will be taken directly to the convent school. There is serious need of teachers in Woodstock. Two are wanted at once, that the faithful principal may have proper assistance and the school retain its prestige among the people. Miss Condit, who recently went out to Woodstock, has not been well. In all respects the one qualified and called, yet the Lord, who doth not willingly afflict, has not permitted her to carry out much of the work which lies so temptingly before her. We can but patiently await His will, while using every means to send others to their assistance. M uzaffarnagur.— Mrs. Calderwood’s school-work was inter­ rupted sadly by the protracted illness of Mr. Calderwood and a faithful teacher; sickness also closed almost every zenana. Sud­ denly death claimed her dear Bible woman, who, living a strict Mohammedan half a century, became at an advanced age a Christian, through the influence of the native pastor and his wife, and thereafter lived and taught that grace of God which had proved her salvation. Despite these difficulties work has gone on ; but Mrs. Calder­ wood prays the Master may send a “ fitted worker ” to her soon,- and wishes she might see a medical mission established in Muz- affarnagur. Miss Mary P. Forman, daughter of Rev. C. W. Forman, has been added to the Lodiana Mission, her field being yet unde­ termined. Futtehgurh.— Here Miss Seeley and Miss Hutchison have lived and worked together the past year. Here they laid at rest early in the year the well-beloved friend and co-worker, Miss Woodside; and from here went out Dr. Jessie Bell, to become the wife of Dr. John Woodside. This great loss did not deter them from making large plans in His name. But overwork told its tale, and Miss Seeley spent two and a half months in the hills, whence she returned rejuvenated. There are 12 vernacular schools for girls, with an enrollment o f 248. About 50 read the Testament and Scripture H istory; the rest are in the Primary Readers. They long to see these girls gathered together in one school, and systematic study going on. Their hearts fail them sometimes at the “ slow up-hill ” work of isolated schools and irregular attendance; yet Miss Hutchison 9

says she learns many a lesson from them, when she sees them slowly plodding along in lessons— reading, with flies swarming, the baby crying, and noisy neighbors jabbering in loudest voices. To the word they listen eagerly, say “ it is true,” yet no outward sign attests that the truth has been applied to the heart. Miss Hutchison’s report glows with interest, yet is a little sad as her last from Futtehgurh. She has been transferred to the Jumna Mission, Allahabad, to be Assistant Principal of the girls’ school. Wherever she goes we shall hear good news of her, but nothing more gratifying than what is told of her work in Futtehgurh. The Bible woman and two teachers have entrance to 108 zenanas with 116 pupils. It is through the faithfulness of native assistants that this work goes on successfully from year to year. Besides the supervision of these Miss Seeley enjoys teaching a class of 40 women and native teachers on Sunday, and in conclu­ sion urges that no less than two unmarried ladies be sent to them at once. Futtehgurh.— Miss Blunt, zenana visitor at Futtehgurh, adds another year of work to the record of the past. “ No day,” she writes, “ in which I do not strive to bring home the truth to one or another of my numerous flock.” Each year sees some good done, new doors open, new pupils reading the truth. Bible readers visit adjacent villages systematically, under Miss Blunt’s supervision. Yet the heart saddens at the steady indifference which closes each visit, and faith that caste may be overcome by a stirring of the multitude at once to come up to the help of the Lord against the mighty is the sustaining thought. M ainpuri.— Mrs. Inglis writes regretfully of the many castles she builded in the first of her year, which the latter part has proved to be in the air, on account of ill health, and the fact that the dialect she learned is not that used by the girls in the schools and zenanas. Rachel, a native teacher, conducted acceptably a class of smaller girls, and for the girls’ schools a superior English assistant was engaged who takes charge of the 11 schools, and their Bible women and 30 zenanas. It is in these zenanas that Sundari still works satisfactorily. A sewing class is a great delight to Mrs. Inglis. It meets every week, and many fancy and useful articles are made for sale at Christmas time. Twenty-five dollars was sent from this source to the Board last year. The Christian Girls’ School was reopened by a catechist and wife as teachers, was regularly attended and five of its pupils entered the school at Allahabad. E t a w a h .— Mrs. Tracy will be in America this year. The Bible women under her care have made regular teaching their aim. Their flocks are scattered and the three have about 90 under instruction, besides the care of the day schools. 10

Miss Belz writes from Etawah of continued tokens of God’s favor and of progress in her work. In the hundreds (311) of visits to villages, and the 54 zenanas she has read the Bible and met a constantly increasing number of inquirers. In the zenana schools she comes into closer contact with the women, and at the melas she speaks with those coming from a distance, whom seeing once she may never see again. The four-score pupils of the zenanas read only Christian books. Mis? Belz lost many pupils and a valued teacher by the open­ ing of a Government School. Thrice the salary led away the teacher, the pupils following, as a matter of course. Yet Miss Belz does not grieve over this; she rather rejoices that the Gov­ ernment has started the school and hopes they may be opened in every village in the empire. “ Something about Jhansi,” Mrs. Holcomb’s article in Woman’s Work, conveys in vivid pen pictures what there is to know about her. For here in this important city, where she Avent last year, she is organizing, teaching and visiting, that she may multiply opportunities for imparting the truth the women are so eager to hear. It is difficult to secure native assistants; but a way has been made and the Gospel is being taught in Jhansi for the first time. Mrs. Pollock and Mrs. Ewing are in America. Mrs. and Miss Seeley will return to the home-land in May.

KOLHAPUR MISSION.

K o l h a p u r . — Mrs. Goheen, after a period of rest in this country, has returned to Kolhapur, where she will take up the school-work, and watch with interest the building to be known as the Kolhapur Boarding School for Girls, which she was instrumental in securing to this mission. Mrs. Hull’s school of 30 girls goes on prosperously, with more faithfulness each year, and encouraging signs of deep religious life among the girls. Two Bible women teach in zenanas, two new ones being opened during the year. In these Mohammedan houses women gather to listen to the reading and singing when they will not take regular lessons. For the Christian boys and girls a Bible class on Sunday after­ noons has been a marked feature; and Pauline’s class for poor Christian women has been, although small, most carefully taught, and has sent its contribution to the Board by the sale of the articles of its own industry. It is an ambition of Mrs. Hull's to have a house built to shelter poor women, widows and forsaken wives, who appeal for a place to stay while they tarry to hear the way of life from her 11 lips. Many such, she thinks, might become Christians after instruction. Mrs. Graham, who did such excellent work in Sangli in organizing and carrying on schools, was obliged to bring her children to America. She writes that the 30 girls under instruc­ tion did well. The native teacher performed her work acceptably, and upon coming away the school was given into Mrs. Tedford’s care, who has gone to Sangli from Ratnigiri. S a n g l i .— Mrs. Tedford draws a pleasant picture of the neat white building, with its benches and school furnishings; of a teacher sent out each morning to bring the girls to school, and of the room full of girls who study and sew. Also of the ever- faithful zenana teacher, Susanabai, and of the obstacles they meet in the way of taunts, so hard to bear, and the frequent cause of discontinuance at school. Mrs. Seiler assists her husband in innumerable wavs in the care of the Boys’ School, but has sent no record of her work. Mrs. Ferris writes from Panhala of “ delightful ” touring, because they were invited into private houses more than ever before. Women followed her to her tent to hear more and ask for forms of “ prayer to use when praying to the Most High God.” Fear, which once proved such a barrier, seemed a thing of the past, and they eagerly asked to be taught the meaning of texts on cards. A Normal Class for Bible women to train young women for voluntary Bible service, is conducted by the ladies of the mission. There were 17 in the class this year who passed a good examination. Mrs. Ferris sends a request for a Medical Missionary for Panhala, which will be something to do the coming year.

CHINA.

C a n t o n .— Reports to us from the Canton Mission are meagre this year, but the work has gone on with undiminished vigor. Miss Sophia G. Preston, daughter of Rev. C. Preston of the Canton Mission, returns to the work after years of study and preparation in America. Miss Harriet Noyes is still in America. There is nothing more interesting perhaps than the boarding school for men and boys in Canton. It is divided into a training school department and a boys’ department The whole number enrolled was 60. Fifteen were in the training department. Three began as preachers at the beginning of the year. Sickness interrupted study, and the death of one teacher was cause of genuine sorrow. The attendance has increased almost one-half over last year, and enlarged buildings are a necessity. 12

Mrs. Kerr tells in graphic language the story of the “ Hospital School” started in connection with the Canton Hospital last April, for the instruction of those who came to wait on or be with patients. Eighty different pupils were thus taught by a Bible-woman with gratifying results, and an estimate for the ex­ pense of continuing the school will come to us this year. Dr. Mary Fulton began the year in study, practicing a little in Canton. Later on she assisted in the Canton Hospital taking Dr. Niles’ place temporarily. Then she started for Kwai Ping again. Was not allowed to land there and has since been in Canton in dispensary practice. Some losses sustained in Kwai Ping have been made good; books have been sent, but the in­ demnity has not yet been paid by the Chinese government. H a n g c h o w .— Mrs. Judson has been occupied with home duties, school every day in the week except Sunday, superintend­ ence of Bible-women, visiting and looking after the sick. English has been introduced into the schools. Four boys united with the Church. In numbers and in spiritual life the school for boys in Hangchow prospers. N a n k i n g .— Mrs. Leaman, as is her wont, reports promptly for the Nanking Schools for girls and women. The boarding and day school has closed its third year with bright promise. For an unusual thing among the Chinese most day scholars remained throughout the term. No rewards until the end of term. Nothing was given except a simple meal at noon. Mothers came in at the close of the term and promised their aid in keeping the children in school and in sending the girls to Sunday-school during vacation, which promise they kept. There were 38 pupils in the three departments: 17 in the boarding school, 18 in the day school and 3 women in the training school. Three were dismissed from the training school. A ll boarders come under written agreements and all have made com­ mendable advancement. Another teacher was added, made necessary by increased number of pupils. One woman in the training school is supported by her son who pays full board. “ There is,” Mrs. Leaman says, “ a far greater respect among the girls for the religion of Jesus than formerly, a greater desire to do right from a sense of right. More truthfulness and more real enjoyment in the hour of prayer.” “ I would rejoice,” she says, “ to have a few children from Christian homes, a little leaven.” But as yet all the 32 little girls are gathered from heathen and Mohammedan homes. Mrs. Leaman is in need of help, and two unmarried ladies will go to her this year. N in g p o .— Mrs. Butler reports most satisfactorily for the Ningpo Girls’ Boarding School, over which she exercises con­ stant supervision, giving besides two hours daily to the class 13

room. The health of the 33 pupils has been good, there having been no case of sickness during the year, notwithstanding the ravages made by the cholera in Ningpo. There has been decided improvement in conduct and recitations, and five united with the church. As an inducement, perhaps, to unbound feet to come to school, shoes and stockings are supplied to them, and out of the 33 enrolled, 22 have unfettered feet; yet the battle is to be fought to get the girls to give up entirely the bandages, for the parents are opposed to the new measure. This school is well equipped with teachers, capable and reli­ able, while Mrs. Lee, the matron, is a worthy woman, who main­ tains the keenest interest in the school and exerts a benign influ­ ence on the girls. This excellent report closes with only a hint of a shady side. Mrs. Butler merely suggests that the darkness serves only as contrast to the bright side, each setting off the other. Those readers of missionary news who remember, will recall the deep affliction which fell upon the mission circles of Ningpo during the fearful visitation of the cholera. Many native and foreign Christians went suddenly to our Father’s house, yet no one of our little band was taken. The Ningpo School for Christian Women was organized with the hope that the women from the out stations could come to the ladies of the mission for two or three months every year to learn to read, and to be instructed more fully in their duties and privi­ leges as Christians. Gratifying instances of women wishing to improve such an opportunity are recorded, and show how devo­ tion and self-sacrifice go hand in hand. One who was there for six weeks only, when asked to stop reading and rest her eyes awhile, said, “ Time enough to rest my eyes when I return home.” She had control of but one dollar, yet gladly gave it for board. Another who came gives one day in the week from the daily toil which supports life to spreading the good news among her acquaintances. Some come with the double purpose of repose for a weary body and activity in the spiritual life. These boarded with Mrs. Butler. There was also an irregular but interested daily attendance from the church in Ningpo. The class averaged 10 members, and was kept up eleven weeks. Mrs. Butler was assisted by two native teachers, and the funds, amounting to $36.00 were supplied by missiona­ ries of the Ningpo station. There is also at Ningpo an Industrial Class of 100 pupils in which the women sew while the teacher reads and explains ques­ tions, and prays with them. They are paid two cents for two hours’ work, and when it is sufficiently well done it is sold. The day schools under Mrs. Butler’s care are still doing well. Mrs. Kong, Bible woman in Ningpo, visits five days in the 14 week. During the year she made 450 visits, having access to 2468 people. Mrs. Fitch’s class of children numbers 22. The teaching of these, with home duties, has occupied her the past }Tear. For the present she will send us no more news from Ningpo. She has been transferred, with Mr. Fitch, to the Mission Press at Shanghai. S h a n g h a i .— The Boarding School has 38 boarding and eight day pupils. Out of the 13 supported by us, seven are members of the church. The other six have been in the school but a short time. “ The school is in a flourishing condition, and we want,” Mrs. Smith says, “ two ladies by next fall to have charge of it.” C h e f o o .— The Shantung Mission has been re-enforced by the addition of Mrs. Frank H. Chalfant, who has gone to Chefoo, and Miss A. Seward, who was appointed to Tungchow. T u n g c h o w .— Mrs. Neal, of the Tungchow Girls’ School, writes of pleasant vacation-time, when women come and sew and chat, while she deftly scatters the truth among them. O f the school she says that out of the 33 boarding and two day pupils, four left them in the early part of the year. Two went out to establish, with their husbands, two more homes and altars where the name of Jesus shall be honored. Another left to join Lady L i’s class in medicine in Tientsiu, and another left to return to Mrs. Corbett, who had been like a mother to her ever since years ago the child’s blind parents gave her to Mrs. Corbett. Death then robbed them of “ the sweetest spirit in the school,” the one who was training herself for work among the women and' children. This place cannot be filled, but all the empty places else were filled immediately, and more can be accommodated only by enlarged buildings. Nearly all are Christians, and the tone of the school is quite what it should be. The “ Far Away Band” has missed but one of its regular meetings. All the girls belong, contribute and are full of interest. The Band sends “ its loving greetings to all its friends in America.” The girls have recently pledged themselves to resist, as enemies to themselves and their homes, opium and liquor. “ Altogether the year has been one of prosperity and advancement, although not without trials and discouragements; and for the year to come, ‘ Forward’ be our watchword ” Mrs. Mateer began the year with school, and soon after with an itinerating tour, which was full of interest. In October another tour was undertaken, but was cut short by a summons home to attend Mrs. Hayes, who was ill. Mrs. Mateer established a small day-school at Laichowfoo. The teacher, a bride from the Chefoo school, is an active Christian 15 character, and the school is a great incentive to the women of that region, who really started it for their daughters. On her trips, native women, Christian and unbelieving, vied with each other in showing hospitality. As a result, the wife of a Christian man became an earnest inquirer. In the Boys’ School eight have been baptized. The Missionary Society has been kept up, and has been a great help and a great labor. Mrs. Hayes has moved into her new house; but she has been an intense sufferer, and no outside work has been reported. Mrs. Fanny Corbett Hays is happy in picking up the threads of a long unused language, and beginning anew the life of a missionary in Chefoo.

JAPAN.

One more year of achievement for Christ in Japan,— a year of blessing and encouragement, yet without exultation, since the church at home does not keep pace in enthusiasm or gifts with the demands from this country. Enterprises begun there years ago, tend naturally to closer organization, and the tendency seems to be highly organized schools, with higher standards of education, of which movement the Union College is an illustra­ tion. There has been added to the Tokio Mission Dr. Effie A. Light, >sho went out to have charge of the Training School for Nurses, and Miss Cuthbert, who went to Hiroshima. Miss Alexander will be at home the coming year. Mrs. Hepburn had planned to return to America when Dr. Hepburn had finished the work of his life, as he supposed, in the complete translation of the Bible. But when the Presidency of the new College was ofiered him, he felt it his duty and privilege to remain and spend his last days among the people for whom his best days have been given. T o k io .— Miss Bessie Milliken sent home throughout the year delightful letters, among them a circular letter written by one of the girls in Bancho, and designed to be sent, class-1 etter fashion, to each graduate of Bancho. It is an annual, and all about the home life of the school, and has no place in a report, save as an indi­ cation, and a side light on the great progress the school is making. Miss Milliken teaches in the kindergarten, which numbers about 40 pupils, and conducts the normal kindergarten class. O f Bancho, which is in a crowded condition, most interesting things are told: How there is no more room ; imperative need of larger buildings, higher grade of scholarship, more teachers; how the best class of Japanese patronize the school; how inter­ ested the girls are in studies and teachers, and how loving and loyal to all the interests of the school. “ Glorious things of thee 16

are spoken,” and we are preparing to hear yet more in the pro­ posed enlargement. Mrs. True says: “ W e have over 300 names on our roll, and an average attendance of 240. O f these, 50 are kindergartners. “ O f the 40 pupils in the three upper classes, all but six are professing Christians, and in every one of the lower classes the leaven is found, and we hope that in due time the whole will be leavened. “ Besides regular school-work, three Sunday-schools are carried on by the teachers and older pupils, and regular assistance is given in four others. Instruction in caring for the sick has been given to a class of seven women.” The Training School for Nurses has been carried on with the Bancho school. A class of seven— the first class—were admitted by courtesy of the Japanese Hospital officials, to study and prac­ tice in their wards. These women have studied two years with Mrs. True; they are all Christians and will go out as nurses this year. Dr. Light has gone to complete the organization and carry this school on to the success which awaits it. This, owing to the crowded condition of Bancho and Dr. Light’s non­ acquaintance with the language, will necessarily be slow ; but the beginning has been made with hopeiul prospect of success. D a i M a c h e .— Miss West and Miss Alexander experimented with two hours of study in language each day of vacation, and report a restful, helpful summer. They left Y o k o h a m a , with a contract drawn for their new home to be finished September 1st. They returned to find not the first stone of the foundation laid, so a new contract was drawn, and house­ building and supervision added to school duties when they opened in September. The girls promised they would meet every Sunday for school and prayer-meeting. Although there was only one baptized Christian among them, the promise was faithfully kept, and these girls exercise a wholesome religious influence over the school, particularly the younger pupils. A ll the girls are ready to receive Christian teaching ; some come asking for it. This Dai Mache school is for young ladies, and was established by Mr. Okami. It is not strictly a mission school, but it is a recognized Christian school, and three ladies of the American Presbyterian Mission are regularly engaged in it. “ The number of pupils enrolled is 65, and the average attendance is 50. Bible lessons are given daily, and there is n general interest in Bible study. “ There are 10 professing Christians in the school. “ The Primary Department has become a flourishing school of about 200 members. “ In addition to school-work, Miss Alexander has a class of ladies of the nobility, who read the Bible and Christian books 17

with her. There is also a weekly knitting meeting, at which a Bible lesson is always given. Those who attend have formed a Benevolent Society, the fees of which are devoted to work among the poor people of the Church.” K a n a z a w a .— Miss Porter wants a new building for her largely increased number of pupils, and is advised by government authorities to raise the standard to eight years, after the Kinder­ garten. The revenue accruing from the present number of children will not admit of more teachers, which would be a necessity if the term of years were to exceed the six. Yet if the time is not extended, these little boys enter at once other schools, where they are not under a good influence, and the work of our school is in a measure undone. It becomes a keen trial to a teacher to send her little pupil, to whom she has become attached, “ out into heathendom again.” The tuition was increased this year, and the Governor endorsed the school by sending his daughter. In connection with this school, Miss Porter has two Sunday- schools of 50 and 100 pupils respectively. Mr. and Mrs. Bryan have been assigned to Hiroshima, and Miss Cuthbert, who sailed in October from America, has joined them there. This field has not been represented in our Society heretofore, and we gladly make note of the event. Miss Cuthbert writes charmingly her first letter, and invites us by her very enthusiasm, to expect more letters, more work, more quickening in spiritual things, in this new quarter of Japan. Mrs. F. S. Curtis, daughter of Rev. A. T. Pierson, is our first representative in Osaka, to which she will bring a ripe education in missionary methods and requirements.

LAOS. Miss Westervelt has sent an interesting report of the Laos Girls’ Boarding School. At the beginning of the year the dormitories were enlarged so as to accommodate 25 pupils. “A decided class feeling has sprung up among the members of the school. Many evinced much pride in their standing while no reward of merit was either offered or awarded. The sewing department turned out more than 140 garments and 160 articles of bedding. The prospects for entering the new school building are very encouraging. It has been already used for service on Communion Sabbaths, the church being too small to accommodate even the communicants.” Three of the older scholars have made a public profession of faith in Christ. One of them had been waiting for more than a year under threat of being disowned should she take the step. The mother’s consent was at last given, but her visits to her 2 18 home are far from pleasant. The year was much broken by sickness of teachers and people. In July Miss Griffin was com­ pelled to leave Cheng Mai and return home to rest. Miss Westervelt accompanied her to Singapore, and then went to Bangkok to wait for the new missionaries. Whilst there she attended the king’s birthday party, and in writing of this event she asks for continued prayer for the conversion of the royal family of Siam. From the official report of the missions we learn that Mrs. McGilvary has been giving all the time and strength she could spare from domestic duties, to the translation of the Scriptures. “ During the year the Gospel of Matthew has been revised and about one-half of the book of Acts translated. This is all the completed translation of Scripture that the Laos have in their own dialect.” The money given years ago for printing the gospel in the Laos is thus bearing fruit. The long needed Boys’ School will be established in the near future under the care of Mr. Collins. Miss Belle Eakin left this country last fall and will assist Miss Westervelt in the Laos Girls’ School.

SIAM. Miss Van Eman, who started for Siam in October, 1887, has charge of the Boys’ School in Petchaburi. IS o report has been received. Mrs. Thompson writes of the birth of her little girl, and adds, “ you cannot realize what a comfort it is to us to know that loved ones in the home churches and societies are praying for us by name.” She tells of the continued good will and substantial aid of the King and nobles. In November last, Dr. and Mrs. Thompson visited the little town of Ratburee where the people received them gladly, attending the preaching services and availing themselves of Dr. Thompson’s medical skill. The Prime Minister of Siam has urged our missionaries to open a station there, but the men and means are wanting.

KOREA.

S e o u l .— The bondage of religious restriction is still upon Korea, calling for more faith and prayer on our part, and patient waiting and preparing of the way on the part of those in the field. Teaching the women in her own home as opportunity offers, Mrs. Heron sees large openings for work among the girls and women, and begs that a girls’ school shall be started and gome one sent out to take charge of it. Mrs. Allen has found it is but little missionary work the mother of two strong baby boys can do, especially as Korean nurses are not to be trusted. Sickness in the family and house­ 19 keeping, where it is no unusual experience “ to get up in the morning and find one side of the room fallen down,” make busy days in her life. But we can see through her letters a steady- light has been kept burning for the Lord in this home. Mrs. Allen is now in this country with her husband, who has been granted a furlough to act as Foreign Secretary in the Korean Embassy, chosen as “ the man who has the interest of the Koreans at heart.” The boys’ orphanage is gaining in favor with the Koreans of all classes.

SYRIA.

B e i r u t Female Seminary reports through Miss Barber that the entire number of pupils enrolled during the year was 157. The twenty-fifth anniversary of the founding of the Seminary was a joyous occasion. “ Memorial Hall was filled with former teachers and scholars. Historical and memorial addresses were interspersed with vocal and instrumental music.” The vacation was spent in the tasteful and commodious sum­ mer home so long anticipated. “ The prayers offered that doors of access to the Moslems might be opened, have been answered in a way that rebukes our want of faith.” Three boarding scholars and seven little ones in the da}r-school have been “ led to conform to school rules. Moslem women also come quite frequently to visit us.” Miss Barber, in writing of her progress in the study of Arabic, says that three times in the week she conducted prayers in the school-room. “ I cannot express my own ideas yet, but I can glean from printed prayers, arrange and commit them, and I am thankful to do even that. If it were not that I did it ‘ in His name,’ I could not have made the effort at first.” Last May Miss Everett returned to America to enjoy a well- earned rest. Mrs. Gerald Dale writes of the great amount of sickness and suffering in Beirut, among those who would gladly earn their living but cannot find work. Of her work among the women she says “ there is nothing so satisfying as to work among them.” Mrs. W. W. Eddy tells of serious sickness in her family. The two daughters were ill for many weeks, requiring the con­ stant care and attention of their mother. From Syria we have received a full report of the village schools. The many interesting items given by Mrs. W . K. Eddy cannot be fully reported here, but from most of these twenty- three centres of Christian influence we hear words of encourage­ ment and hope for the future. Mrs. Eddy says, The teachers in a village school have a very influential position among the people, and we hope that you will always remember them as needing prayer.” 20

Miss Brown has sent a full report of Sidon Seminary from which we quote words which cannot fail to cheer the many friends of that honored institution. “ The school opened in October with 45 boarding pupils and a daily attendance of 40 girls in the day school.” Six of the teachers are graduates of the Seminary, and two graduates of the Syrian Protestant College are employed to teach some of the higher classes. “ At the Thursday noon prayer- meetings all the girls take part and lead in prayer. The teachers have prayer-meetings with Mrs. Eddy and by themselves, and they show in many ways that they are advancing in the spiritual life.” There is nothing more encouraging than to hear of the growth of the missionary spirit in missionary lands, and we are glad to learn that six of our Question Books have been translated into Arabic, and are committed to memory by the pupils in Sidon Seminary. “ Once a month the classes are examined by Mrs. Eddv and additional information is given on mission work in all lands.” During the summer vacation Miss Eddy and Miss Brown visited many of the villages, and found the homes of former pupils opened to them freely and gladly. It was found that they had been teaching to others the truths that they had learned in Sidon Seminary. Miss H. M. Eddy tells of a letter from the Greek Bishop at Hums, expressing his appreciation of Sidon Seminary. His good opinion was proved by the removal of his niece from the Semin­ ary to place her as a teacher in one of the Greek schools. Miss Eddy says, “ I cannot decide whether to grieve over it or con­ sider it a providence. It does not seem to me that she can grow spiritually. Pray for her.” W e are so often distressed by the accounts of sickness among our missionaries that it is more than comforting to have Miss Eddy say that she has not had a day’s sickness for twelve years. In writing of her own work Mrs. W. K. Eddy says: “ W e have been trying to do a little for our people socially.” Then follows an interesting account of the success of their efforts in this direction. “ The people are easily pleased and this makes it pleasant to have them. W e hope it will help to draw them near us.” O f her labors among Moslem women, she tells us that the re-opening of the class is very encouraging both in regard to numbers and the way in which they have remembered the in­ struction of the previous winter. Mrs. Pond writes from Suk-el-Ghurb, telling of the birth of a little daughter, followed three weeks later by her death. “ Short as the life of our darling was, it was not without its influence on this people. They thought it very strange that we should be so happy over the birth of a girl when we already had three girls 21 and only one boy. A daughter of one of our Protestants in Abeih, died at the same age only a short time before and was buried without even a prayer or a hymn for ‘ it was only a girl not worth mentioning.’ ” A society for Christian Endeavor has created much interest among the young people in Suk-el-Ghurb. Many are willing and ready to assist in conducting the meetings. In a more recent letter Mrs. Pond tells of the ceaseless round of home duties, the education of her children, calls from the natives, and entertaining guests. The training school this year numbers 87 in all. Mr. Pond reports that 6 pupils have been admitted to the communion of the Church. The majority are sons of Protestant parents and have been under training for at least a year. It is a fact worthy of notice that the Druze ele­ ment in the school has become quite considerable. This year there are six lads from the family of the religious Sheikh of the Druzes. This means a new departure. “ The Druzes are no longer willing to abide in inexcusable ignorance and out of sym­ pathy with the awakening world around them.” Mrs. F. W . March, of Tripoli, gives an account of her new home by the sea, two miles from the other missionaries, but very pleasant and healthful. The inhibitants are much simpler, more bigoted and superstitious than the Tripolitans, so that “ it is like coming to another community to live among them.”

PERSIA.

T e h e r a n .— In the new mission quarters at Teheran the build­ ing for the Girls’ School has greatly added comfort and facilities. A large, bright school-room, furnished with desks, brings an appreciation only to be realized by those who have labored years without such an outfit. A newly arranged course of study in English, and the entering upon a system of collecting nominal payments from such pupils as can afford to pay something for their education, Miss Schenck writes are new departures for the school. Great progress has been made by the scholars in the sewing department; many have learned to complete neatly-made garments with “ such sewing as would mortify the average Ameri­ can girl.” Two girls united with the church during the year and half of the school give evidence of being Christians. Miss Dale speaks very tenderly of the loveliness of the lives of these children, comparing them to “ little singing streams.” From Mrs. Potter we hear of house-to-house visiting, a Bible lesson every morning and regular engagements to teach or lead meetings half the days in each week, and many little offices and works of love which come in the way of willing hearts. O r o o m ia h .— The Girls’ School at Oroomiah reports 51 scholars. Seven of these were new pupils from the Koordistan 22

Mountains. Death took one, but not before she had received “ a good hope of Christ.” A satisfactory branch of this work has been a short course of study given to the teachers of the village schools to better prepare them for their teaching. The work among the Nestorian women deepens in interest under the care of Mrs. Shedd and Mrs. Dr. Cochran. Meet­ ings were held for the deaconesses of the village churches. The women went away aroused to greater zeal and faithfulness in the work of saving souls. Rachel, the Bible woman, was called to assist in the Girls’ School in Tabriz. Her place has been filled by Lava, a widow, a former pupil of Miss Fiske. She has visited over forty villages and everywhere was warmly welcomed. Her reports make very clear the need of more faith­ ful house-to-house labor in the smaller villages where there are no helpers stationed. She reached many for the first time, and in other places found great faithfulness in Christian women alone, struggling to keep their light burning, unable to read, and with no one to teach or help them. The dark side of the work among these women is their indiffer­ ence in regard to the education of girls. Mothers who deny them­ selves every comfort and almost the necessities of life to educate their sons, leave their daughters untaught. While the Boys’ School and the College are overflowing, the girls seeking an edu­ cation in the village schools are comparatively few and poorly prepared to enter the Seminary, although there are many more applicants to the latter than it is possible to admit. Mrs. Mechlin and Mrs. McDowell have been added to the West Persia Mission, arriving early in October. Mrs. McDowell, in Oroomiah, as she looks at the need of more workers and the willingness of the people to receive, “ cannot understand why consecrated young people do not throng these empty fields.” She is glad to lighten the burden o f the workers, which has already been added to by the departure of those who must go to recruit health, by taking charge of a sewing class and of the stores of wool and cotton provided to be given out to the poor famine suf­ ferers to spin and weave. A system of relief has been organized by the ladies to meet the demands of the destitute and starving ones Avho come begging from the mountains to their doors, putting such in the way of helping themselves. S a lm a s .—Mrs. Mechlin is stationed at Salmas and is already planning, while she is busily acquiring the language, for her future work among the Avomen in their homes.

AFRICA.

G a b o o n .— With the co-operation of French teachers, sent out by the Evangelical Society of Paris, at the request of the Mksion, the schools at Gaboon and Kangwe are to be re-opened. This is 23

glad news to Mrs. Ogden and Mrs. Good, returned to these fields, in good health, refreshed by the home visit, and with willing hearts for the work. From Mrs. Gault we hear of the weekly prayer-meetings held among the women of the adjacent towns, and of her thankfulness for the encouragement in this work. Ilati, a Bible-reader for over fifteen years in Corisco, and for the past year in Gaboon, has been called to her reward. She earnestly sought in life to bring others into the salvation to which she gave dying testimony. Mrs. Gault says of her: “ I have lost a friend.” Mrs. Gault is coming home this year. B e n i t a .— The Girls’ School has been disbanded as a necessary step to lessen the strain upon the Benita workers, after an unbroken service of almost seven years. “ I need not tell you,” writes Mrs. De Heer, “ there will be no lack of work, but the constant wearing pressure incident upon the care of girls in this land will be removed, and we trust strength gained for longer service.” Nearly all the girls dismissed had received sufficient education to fit them for any position they will be called to occupy. Four of these have united with the church. Several others are married and keeping house. O f the others, those who are in reach of the station come on Wednesday of each week and spend a few hours under the instruction of Mr3. Reutlinger. The time has not yet come to employ educated girls in service here. Five of the girls were kept because they did not yet know how to read. They are making good progress in their studies, and having a taste for and skill in the art of caring for the sick and administering of remedies, have done much in that important branch of missionary work for the suffering around them. “ The Boys’ School has been full all the year. The new school books in the vernacular, which Mr. De Heer has translated, have proved a great benefit, and are arousing the latent mental powers o f the children into active exercise. Hitherto they have been noted principally for their powerful memories, now they will learn to think. Six members of our church have been called to the church above ; all died in the faith, and some of them in full triumph ; when near the end one said, ‘ Now you can teach me no more; Jesus has sent to me to come, and He will be my Teacher.’ ” L i b e r i a .— Mrs. Nourse has several times, during the year, taken the necessary forty miles’ journey to post the report of the school. Her scholars are few in number, but she is encouraged by their progress, and rejoices in the conversion of two native boys and two sons. At Glima, Liberia, among the Yeys, a school has been started during the past year by Mr. T. H. Roberts. Mr. Roberts is a native Vey, educated in the Lincoln University. Eight boys and two girls have already been admitted, and there is every indication that the Board’s limit for the school (15 scholars) will soon be reached. A boys’ dormitory is one of the pressing needs. T a l a g u g a .— There has been a wonderful awakening during the past year among the tribes along the Ogovi, and Miss Nassau meets among the men and women and children who gather to the meetings, many old friends, made when she used to travel from town to town. These people have good voices, and the praise of their services rises in wonderful bursts of melody. A Mite Society here supports its own Bible-reader. Miss Nassau is thankful that she always has some one to teach. Little boys of distant or nearer tribes, and young men who live with her brother, come in the evening to recite to her. With her daily round of duties she superintends a boy cook ; and a new hand at the little printing press, as he strikes off the sheets of another Primer; never intermitting the loving service of mothering “ little Mollie.” SOUTH AMERICA.

The Collegio Americano of Sao Paulo, under the care of Miss Kuhl and Miss Dascomb, reports that the past year has been one of steady progress. “ It is now one of the oldest and best established schools in that city. O f the thirty girls who have been enrolled during the year, twenty-one have been sup­ ported or helped by mission funds.” Six of these are now at work, teaching in schools at Caldas, Botacutu, Brotas, Sorocabo, and Rio de Janeiro, and the day-school at Sao Paulo. The pupils are all taught domestic work. This branch of instruction finds favor with the planters, who know that in a few years they will' have no slaves, and consequently think it well to have their daughters taught to work. Dress-making has been added to the list of accomplishments, and the girls are enthusiastic about it. There is an ever-growing interest in mission work, and the children are learning to lead in prayer as well as to labor for Christ. A paper issued by the Band is named 0 Mission,ario Juvenil. It is doing a good work in creating an interest in the cause of Missions. The day-school has grown too large for its present quarters, and has overflowed into the side rooms of the church. Many pupils have been refused admittance for want of room. “ There is an increased interest in Bible study. Religiously, Brazil is now where England was at the time of the Reformation. Everywhere discussion is heard on the doctrines of the Romish Church, and it is necessary that Christian pupils should be ever ready to give a reason for the hope that is in them.” Miss Kuhl says, “ Our work is growing more and more interesting. Some o f our first pupils are married, and from their homes come letters full of love and tenderness, which cheer our hearts. For them 25 we still pray.” In January, Miss Kuhl returned home for a year of rest. During her absence, her place is filled by Miss Hender­ son of the Southern Presbyterian Mission. Of Miss Dascomb, we hear that “ she is well and as cheerful as ever. She needs a vacation but does not realize it herself.” Miss Phebe Thomas sends a report of her work in the Kinder­ garten school in which she is assisted by Miss Mary Lenington. There are now 33 children in the school. The tuition has been increased, and Miss Thomas hopes in time to have the school on a better financial basis. She says, “ The Kindergarten is thor­ oughly under way, and the home life is a success. Miss Mary Lenington has a Sunday afternoon class of colored women who would otherwise be running the streets. Dona Maraquinhas, who studied with me, is our Brazilian assistant, and lives with us.” Miss Lenington, after an absence of six years, returned to Sao Paulo. Miss Thomas writes: “ I have such a sense of cour­ age and comfort when I look at her and think how long I have wanted her, and that now she is really here.” Last August, Mrs. J. B. Howell wrote from Sao Paulo of their expectation of moving to a new home in the province of Brotas, where Mr. Howell has been laboring for three years. Some months later the change was made, and they are now living at Jhu. When writing from Sao Paulo, Mrs. Howell says: “ What leisure I have had from home duties and outside calls, I have given to the translation of a Bible Dictionary, which, however, is too great an undertaking to allow me to feel that I have done anything but make a very small beginning.” Mrs. J . M. Kyle, of R io de Janeiro, tells of years of physi­ cal suffering, which have made it impossible for her to do much work outside of her own home. She says: “ I often wonder what my work in life is to b e ; if it is to ‘ wait on the Lord, be of good courage.’ ‘ They also serve who only stand and wait.’ ” The work in Rio is progressing. The church has so far this year, more than paid the native pastor’s salary, and is about to employ a man as colporteur and Bible-reader. The Sabbath- school is well attended. From Bogota, United States of Colombia, we hear through Mrs. Caldwell, that the work at present looks encoura­ ging. The congregations are very large, and several persons are inquiring the way of life. The ladies’ prayer-meeting has been very interesting of late, with new evidence of the Master’s pres­ ence and power. The Mission Band is composed of young girls, with many of the mothers, and the greatest interest is manifested in the work. The Collegio Americano reports an enrollment of 60 pupils. “ The Bible Class is of more than usual interest. The public 26

examinations gave satisfaction to all. Many of the Bible lessons were repeated, and one hundred questions on the first chapters of the gospel of St. John were answered.” The entire Shorter Cate­ chism, with proof texts, was recited by one class. Some of the girls are seriously thinking about their salvation, and of the duty of confessing Christ. “ The entire work has never seemed so encouraging as at present. The seed which has been sown for so many years, is now springing up and bringing forth fruit.” Several changes have taken place in the Mission. About a year ago, Miss Franks, with the deepest regret, decided that her health demanded her return to this country. Mrs. Caldwell, in speaking of this great loss to the Mission, says: “ We were all made very sad by the continued ill health of Miss Franks, and later by her departure for the home land. She was much beloved here, and we miss very much her quiet, Christian influ­ ence and sisterly companionship.” Mr. and Mrs. Caldwell left Bogota about the first of April, to spend a year at home, in search of health and rest. Mr. and Mrs. Candor have returned to Bogota, and so the work will be carried on as heretofore. Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Robinson, formerly of Africa, are now settled in their new home near Valparaiso, Chili. Mr. and Mrs. Lester are at Santiago, but no communications have yet been received from them.

MEXICO.

Mexico City.— The Girls’ School re-opened in October, under its new Principal, Miss Bartlett, with 40 scholars, 23 boarders, and 17 day pupils. These quite fill the house, so that others applying for admittance were necessarily turned away. When we realize that these disappointed girls come from wretched homes and debased parents, and with a desire and hope of learn­ ing better things, we can appreciate all that is meant in this turning away, and sympathize with Miss Bartlett in this hard part of her duty. She finds a great difference between the girls Mrs. Hamilton has had for some time in the school and those who have newly entered, and takes courage in the effect of train­ ing in the older ones, and also in the responsive and obedient natures of even the undisciplined. There are four grades in the school, and if the building would but accommodate them, double the number of pupils might be in each grade without an increase in the teaching force. Z a c a t e c a s .— Dona Celestina, our Bible reader, continues her visits to the needy in body and spirit, with fidelity and untiring activity. No report has come from the Zacatecas school, but we know the good work is going on under the care of Miss Maria Picardo, a graduate of the Girls’ School in Mexico City. S a l t i l l o . — The Boys’ boarding-school, formerly known as the Church school, is in operation and well attended.

NORTH AMERICAN INDIANS. During the year just closed several changes have been made in our work among the Indians. Mrs. Trippe has left the Cattaraugus Reservation and is now living on the Allegheny Reservation in New York State. This removal was advised by the Board of Foreign Missions, and Mrs. Trippe speaks of her regret when parting with those for whom she has labored, as much as her strength permitted, during six years. As we see the farewell words of some of the Indian women, we read between the lines and realize how much good can be done by the uncon­ scious influence of a Christian woman. One of them said: “ Mrs. Trippe, I feel that you have helped us more by your sympathy and prayers than you could have helped us had you been strong.” These wTords brought needed encouragement and hope. Miss S. L. McBeth writes from Mt. Idaho that “ the design of her school is to try to raise up a native ministry and trained elders, who will be leaders in Christian civilization. None are received in the school who do not promise usefulness in Church work. God has given the school success. Our ‘ boys ’ are all married men. The work with their wives is entirely distinct and separate and not during the school hours of the men. Last April two were licensed to preach the gospel and several months later five others took charge of churches as regularly installed pastors. This school being outside of the Reservation the Indian De­ partment at Washington does not interfere with Miss McBeth’s plans, which is to her and to us a cause for thanksgiving. Miss Kate McBeth writes from Mt. Idaho of her very inter­ esting class of 12 married women. Although too old to learn rapidly, their determination to read the Bible in their own tongue helps them to attain their desire for knowledge. They are “ godly women,” often “ surprising their teacher by their spiritual discernment.” In speaking of the industrial work, an animated description is given of the first attempt to make a white woman’s dress; it seemed " 1 ” 1 “ 1 the pupil. Miss McBeth air, the dignity with which the women sit now at the window, using the sewing machine ! ” Last fall the mission at Poplar Creek, among the Dakota In­ dians, was abandoned. With great reluctance and sad hearts Miss Dickson and Miss McCreight left the work which they had carried on for seven years. Recently they have left us after 28 spending some months in the East, to begin a new work and find a new home at Pine Ridge Agency, Dakota. Their purpose is to engage in house to house visitation. They deserve our intelligent sympathy in this new undertaking. Since the last Annual Report was presented we have lost our two faithful missionaries, Miss Diament and Miss Ramsey, by the transfer of the school at Wewoka to the Board of Home Missions. Although no longer under our care they still have a place in our hearts. THE CHINESE IN CALIFORNIA.

Los A n g e l e s . — Mrs. Condit is more hopeful for the work among the Chinese women at Los Angeles than at any time since she entered upon it. The disastrous fires in this town did not work altogether for evil, and new Chinatown is a decided improvement on the old. Families live to themselves. Three families are Christian, the women having been members of the Methodist Home in San Francisco. Six women, with their children, attended the last Presbyterial meeting. San Francisco.— Six years ago, Miss Cable began her work among the better class of Chinese children, having only one little girl at that time under her care. Now she reports one hundred in her charge, and instead of having to beg the privilege of teaching them in their homes, she is daily reproached for not making more frequent visits to one and another. This year her heart has gone out particularly to the children in the depraved part of Chinatown. A class of five little girls has been gathered here, each with a sad story of slavery and training for evil life. Miss Cable finds children of tender years kept at constant labor under the cruelest treatment, and mourns over the darkness of this enlightened land, that such things are permitted to be. One of these burdened little ones has been rescued, and placed in the Mission Home, under the influence of Christian love and training. No report has come from the Mission Home or Chinese School in San Francisco. MEDICAL MISSIONS. “ The Place and Power of Medical Missions ” in this Society is well known. Always heartily endorsed by us, we commend to you our five students now in college, preparing to enter missionary service, and the three physicians in the field. It is one of our opportunities to watch that the demand for medical skill, increasing each year, is met by an adequate supply, that there may be no falling off in this service, which is doubly blest. Want of space in the report forbids the mention of much in the letters that is interesting, and the hopeful features of the 29 work of the present year lie not so much in the large number sent out, although we thank God for this, or in other statistical data, as in those interesting personal histories of pupils, of faith­ fulness in little things, of adherence to the truth under persecu­ tion, of intelligent comprehension of truth, of sacrifices made to add knowledge to their faith. Not so much in the fact that a given Sabbath-school has been regularly attended, as in the more luminous fact that in several instances the great principle of Sabbath observance has been brought in question by sincere converts, who would keep the Sabbath, but cannot reconcile it with the perfectly legitimate worldly affairs in which they are engaged. Not even so much in additions to the church as in the assur­ ance that but for caste and fear of persecution scores are ready to enroll themselves as Christ’s followers, whose lives bear witness that they are hid with Him, though they cannot openly confess Him. Our encouragement lies not more in the pious lives of the few who do confess Him, than in the sublime quality of faith and trust displayed in the dying hour, the memory of which, in many instances, spreads like a heavenly benediction over a school or family. Not so impressive is it to us that a Chinese girl has committed the four Gospels to memory, as that she has been willing to have her feet unbound to enter our schools; nor that women fly from homes where they know nothing but abuse, imploring admittance to a Christian school, as that six out of a class of half a score, having finished their studies, devote themselves to missionary work among their own country-women. These are the results for which we look, for these mean that the conflict between superstition and intelligence has been waged, and intelligence has won. From this point of view, the year just passed is our most hopeful and inspiring one. For these signs of the stirring of thought among the people, more apparent each year, surely pre­ sage that day when many, coming “ with one accord in one place,” minor difficulties shall disappear before the propulsive power of a common enthusiasm and belief, our God shall triumph, and the day of rejoicing and reward shall dawn.

HOME DEPARTMENT. Bringing your thoughts home from the long journeys to which the pen of our foreign secretaries have invited them, we ask you for a few minutes to consider another side of the work, ques­ tioning as you listen whether here in the home land there has been the same consecration, the same readiness for service, the same faithfulness to the trust committed to our care that we ex­ pect and find in our workers over the sea,

CONTRIBUTIONS AND APPROPRIATIONS. When the message was sent to us from the Annual Assembly at Cleveland a year ago, “ Speak to the children of Israel that they go forward ” the word was echoed all along the line, and in hearts and homes, in bands and societies large things were planned. The call for 81,000,000 for Foreign Missions from the General Assembly at Omaha was an added stimulus, and all through the year we have been watching with eager interest to see whether “ Our Share of the Million ” was coming in. From one and another of the Presbvterial Societies the spring meetings brought glad reports of advance in contributions, while like a minor strain with an undertone of apology a few confessed that they had fallen behind. O f the final result our treasurer’s re­ port has told the story. $20,000 advance on last year’s contributions marks progress for which we rejoice with thanksgiving; but it falls short of the 29 per cent, aimed at. Was too much asked of us, or have we failed in the privilege of giving? In connection with this subject we would call attention to the appropriation of funds. One of our Presbyterial Secretaries tells of a child who, on looking over the annual report, remarked, “ It seems to take a great deal of money to support General Fund.” Indeed it does, and we are glad to see an increased will­ ingness on the part of auxiliaries and bands to unite in the sup­ port of so worthy an object. There may be just as real and personal interest in particular missionaries and particular fields, yes, in all missionaries and all fields when the appropriation of money contributed is left to the discretion of the Board. But we are sorry to know of some “ Special Objects ” being relinquished from an unwillingness on the part of societies to pledge them- Belves for a definite amount.

GIFTS RECEIVED. Among the pleasant things to be noted in the experiences of the year are two gifts received at our rooms, a type writer, which 31

is doing good service in copying letters for the use of auxiliaries, and a handsome fire-proof safe in which our valuable papers may be securely stored. Both of these generous gifts have come to us in such a way that we could not feil to recognize in them our Father’s loving care, “ knowing what things we have need of.”

PRESBYTERIAL SOCIETIES. The word that comes to us from the Presbyterial Societies is in almost every case cheerful. Faithful work on the part of officers and ready response from auxiliaries has wrought good results. Where such personal oversight has been impossible or neglected, the effect is noticeable in the languor and inefficiency of the auxiliaries. One of the Secretaries writes: “ We are growing in the knowledge of the work to be done abroad and at home ; we are losing our timidity and self-distrust; but above all, we are learning that we must be about our Father’s business ; that if the fire be within us it must burn and spread. We see that, small as our work is, it is helping to bring in the kingdom of our Lord, and I believe that next year we shall do more, give more and pray more than ever before.’’ We are told of one society holding its annual meeting in the midst of the severe ice storm of March. “ We were thrown upon our own resources, but our Master tarried with us while we met, and I know there were women so aroused that they will never again be among the ‘ care­ less daughters who are at ease in Zion.’ ” Some of the Presby­ terial Societies are feeling the inspiring influence which comes from the sending of one or more from their own territory to the foreign field. OCCIDENTAL BOARD. Just here we would speak of the work of the Occidental Board. With some peculiar difficulties to be met with in their work, and so remote from the centre that they lose the quickening influence of constant and easy communication with their associates, they have grand opportunities which they are not neglecting. One of the officers has sent out between five and six thousand copies of the “ Mute Appeal for Foreign Missions,” feeling sure “ that it would educate more effectively than talking.” The work is grow­ ing on the Pacific Coast and the number of auxiliaries increasing. The tender care and kind farewell that the ladies of the Board give to our missionaries sailing from San Francisco, and the welcome always ready for those returning from their fields, is a help for which we are constantly grateful.

NORTH PACIFIC BOARD. In October the Woman’s North Pacific Presbyterian Board of Missions was organized. This withdraws from our connection 32

the societies included in the Synod of Columbia. W e are sorry to part with them and regret any increase in the number of Boards, but as the step has been taken with the approval of the Presbytery and Synod, we can only wish our sisters of the North Pacific an affectionate God-speed, with the hope that their ex­ pectations of inci*eased efficiency may be realized.

AUXILIARIES. W e have received the names of 31 new Auxiliaries within the year. The number looks small, but many of our Presbyteries are so fully organized that further growth in numbers must be slow. We welcome most cordially Auxiliaries in some weak churches, not yet self-supporting, assuring them of our confident expectation that in reaching out a helping hand to others they will themselves gain strength and blessing. A Society of native Christian women organized some years ago at Gaboon, West Africa, has this year asked to be recog­ nized a? an Auxiliary.

YOUNG p e o p l e ’s WORK. Perhaps we may be excused if tempted to linger a little upon this part of our subject. That the hope of the age and of the Church is in its children and youth is an exceedingly trite remark, frequently uttered at missionary meetings and tem­ perance conventions; but when our last Annual Report gives the names of over 1100 Young People’s Societies aud Bands, with offerings amounting to more than So5,000, we are inclined- to claim for the youth of the Church not only future hope, but considerable present strength. One hundred and ninety new Bands have been reported since the first of April of last year. The Presbytery of Los Angeles, where two years ago there were only nine bands, now reports 37, with 1830 members. We ask you to watch the lists of new Bands as they appear from month to month in our magazines, welcoming them and their leaders to a place in your love and your prayers. The names may sometimes excite a smile, but if Missionary Twigs blos­ som and bear fruit, and Young America Mission Clubs fill their mite boxes with money dug from the coal mines of Pennsylvania mountains, we will not object to their chosen names; and Sunbeams and Twinkling Stars, Brilliants and Harbor Lights “ shining for Jesus” may shed their radiance very far. The careful effort that has been expended on the education of the young people gathered in our Bands is bearing its fruit. From Ohio a Presbyterial President writes: “ We are encouraged by the development in our young people. As the mother rejoices in the womanliness of her daughters, so we in those we have seen [ da ' r — / y growing up under our hand. This spring at our Presbylerial’S/ 0 j Meeting one of these young girls will lead ¿he Young People’s J Hour, and those gathered there will be a$&r

PUBLICATIONS. Vital to the life of our Society are its magazines. I f we let them lie alongside of our Bibles, and read the prophecy or com­ mand in one and the fulfillment in the pages of the other, our faith is strengthened. If in our missionary work we need con­ stant help, we find it in these monthly magazines, and whether it be news from the field, encouragement for ourselves, or instruc­ tion for beginners, we never turn to their pages in vain. You know them well, and not a word of recommendation is needed by you, but what of the great majority of- women and children in our churches who are without these helps and this stimulus to missionary effort? It is for them we bespeak your earnest, faith­ ful, all-the-year-round assistance; your hearty commendation is what is needed, and we unhesitatingly ask it. No stirring letter urging you to this has been sent out during the past year. Have you been looking for one? Did you want one, when every number of your magazine laid on you the responsibility of pub­ lishing the good tidings? Yet why is it that our sisters of other denominations are outstripping us in the length of their subscrip­ tion lists ? Cannot Presbyterian women do as well and as much as any women ? For

w o m a n ’s WORK FOR WOMAN AND OUR MISSION FIELD, this has been in some sense a test year. The newer magazines, The Church at Home and Abroad, and The Home Mission Monthly, have been brought prominently forward, and rightly so, in all our churches. The General Assembly laid it upon the pastors to see to the circulation of the “ consolidated magazine,” through the length and breadth of our land, and nobly have they done 3 34 their work. Now they will be at liberty to push W o m a n ’s W o r k , and they will do it if we present the matter to them in its true light. Let us not fail to do this thing. The regular edition of Woman's W ork is 15,000, the subscription list standing at almost the same figure as last year. The general arrangement of the magazine remains unchanged because it is found to be good, but it is our aim to increase the efficiency of the' Home Department by more practical hints and suggestions to the home workers. To this end we invite you to share the best things that can be gathered from the experience of all our auxiliaries, by each sending your own to the editor in New York; not long articles, but the new ideas and the latest inventions that you have found useful. Because it is greater efficiency that we desire, more perfect work for the Master, we aim at a circulation of 20,000 copies of our woman’s magazine; the missionary spirit would be quickened and entirely new agencies set to Avork for foreign missions by the addition of five thousand readers; the thousands of such already enlisted in our forty-seven states and territories are a grand force to work with. Now let us work.

c h i l d r e n ’s w o r k f o r c h i l d r e n . The loving messages that come to the editor from her little readers are all the assurance that can be needed that our little magazine has found a large place for itself. We have heard of one band in which a condition of membership is a subscription to Chil­ dren’s Work, and in many of the bands an agent or committee is appointed to secure subscribers. W e can think of no better Christmas present, to be obtained at so small expense, for Sab- bath-school scholars or little friends, than a year’s subscription to Children’s Work, while the bound volumes are a handsome ad­ dition to any library and, with their wealth of illustrations, in­ valuable in band work. From December the magazine has been enlarged by the ad­ dition of four pages, giving now twenty pages, filled from be­ ginning to end with helpful and interesting matter. The promise of the prospectus published on the cover of the December number is being more than fulfilled. The first of the quarterly concert exercises appeared in April, and we are sure that this feature of the year’s plan meets a want felt in many Sabbath-schools. The Children’s W ork Literary Club is proving very popular, the only objection to its rules being made by young readers both above and below the limit of age at finding themselves counted out. The plan of study marked out will make the names of Adoniram Judson, Robert Moffatt and other missionary heroes household words in many Presbyterian homes, and will certainly develop and encourage a taste for missionary literature. 35

The proposed publication of a Hymn Book for Mission Bands, under the auspices of Children’s Work, has been postponed for the present. A Missionary Hymnal has recently been issued by the Woman’s Board of the Interior, which we are glad to com­ mend to our Bands. Further notice of it will appear soon in the magazines.

LEAFLETS. Since the presentation of the last Annual Report the Commit­ tee on Leaflets has been constantly engaged in the pleasant labor of issuing new publications and re-printing old ones. It is a source of wonderment when we receive orders for leaflets that we supposed had been known and read by all Christian women. Not long since we met a missionary worker who had “ never heard of Mrs. Pickett.” Several times when such publications as Giving Lake a Little Child and The Strange but True Story have been out of print, demands have come so urgent and pressing that a new edition has been issued. During the year we have printed 23,000 copies of former publications, and 93,000 in all. The first new publication of the year was Foreign Mission’s Rightful Share, a paper prepared for the Annual Meeting of 1887. To the Board of the Northwest we are indebted for the excellent leaflet Helping Together with Prayer, and to the Board of New York for the pleasing story of Five Cents in a Teacup. Who among us is not familiar with Our Share and Your Share t I f there is one perplexed mind we trust that all will be made clear by the explanation that the former was written to set forth clearly just how much money the Board of Foreign Missions expected this Society to raise during the year which closes to-day; 15,000 copies were printed, and the result may be ascer­ tained from the Treasurer’s report. Your Share was read at Cleveland by Miss Evans, of Painesville, and is admirably adapted to reach the young women of our land. In the fall a circular letter was sent out to all our organiza­ tions telling of the work for the year. At the same time an article on our Special Objects was printed entitled Supply and Demand. A t the request of the Prayer Meeting Committee a leaflet was written for use in connection with the services during the Week of Prayer. Those who have read What Ye Will know its value and that it is good for every week and every day of the year. Leaders of Mission Bands already know the merits of The Boys’ Side of the Question. Our latest publication is on Medical Missions, and no one can fail to be interested in the resume there given. The leaflet, Prayer for Missionaries, brings to our thoughts a new departure in the work for the past year. A Calendar for 1888 was prepared containing the names of all the missionaries of the Board of Foreign Missions with an appro­ 36 priate quotation for each day in the year. Nearly the whole edition was sold, and gratifying words concerning it have come to us from all parts of the world. So much has been said hereto­ fore on this subject that we will only express our hope that the Calendar has helped some of us to “ Show forth His salvation from day to day.” You have noticed in the Treasurer's Report the gratifying statement that the sale of these publications has fully paid the expense of printing and postage on the Annual Reports, Question Books, Leaflets and Calendars, leaving a balance of $30.60 in the Treasury.

PKAYER AND SPECIAL MEETINGS. We are told that in the Alpine Club ropes a scarlet thread is hidden among the strands as an evidence of its genuineness and strength. So twining in and out through all phases of our work we would be sure that the “ praying always ” is never for­ gotten ; prayer for the workers abroad and at home; prayer for the children who must soon be, nay are already, workers; prayer for the uninterested in our own land, and for the souls dying without Christ in heathen lands. W e are glad to hear of new voices taking up the cry, and we know that in many homes, at family altar and in the closet the burden is brought constantly to the feet of Jesus. The Simultaneous Missionary Meetings held in November through New Jersey, and some parts of Pennsylvania and other states, brought very precious experiences. In one letter we read: “ I have taken pains to write to various places, to inquire as to the character of their meetings. The response is unanimous as to the deepening of interest. In many of our churches special effort was made to bring in those who have hitherto held aloof from the work. The full churches with the tide of interest rising higher to the close of the day speak for themselves.” Interest was added to these meetings by the presence of re­ turned missionaries, the secretaries of the Board, and other speakers; but where no outside help could be received the gather­ ings were very richly blessed. The result is seen in the organi­ zation of new auxiliaries and bands, in the enlisting of indifferent hearts and in spiritual blessings which cannot be recorded in words.

CLOSING MESSAGE. From the headquarters at Philadelphia your officers would send the loving message to every Presbyterial Society, Auxiliary and Band. Be sure always of our sympathy and interest in your work; write to us fully and freely; tell us of your diffi­ 37 culties and your successes; come when you can to our monthly meetings and prayer meetings, that you may learn more of the work, and that we may meet you face to face; co-operate with us in all our efforts to circulate literature, to fill our treasury, to increase intelligence and interest in the work. But we would go farther and with tenderest yearning would send a personal message to every woman and child whom wre can reach through you, with the reminder that the work must he a personal one, that unless each one takes up her share of the burden something will be missing in the grand whole.

“ Go make thy garden fair as thou canst, Thou workest never alone; Perchance he whose plot is next to thine, W ill see it and mend his own.

“ And the next may copy his, sweetheart, Till all grows fair and sweet, And when the Master comes at eve, Happy faces His coming will greet.

“ And then thy joy will be full, sweetheart, In thy garden so fair to see, In thy M aster’s word of praise for all And a look of His own for thee.”
