REX R. MOE, Superintendent • Verily a thousand years is as one day. The past five years are but as yesterday with our family. The Father has been good to us keeping us generally well. The way has not been all of roses. Mistakes have been too many. We have honestly tried to serve our Lord. Weare not rejoicing in the thought of seperation from this work. If our Lord shall lead us back to the work here, we will gladly come again. Miss Atkins has returned from furlough to share with Miss Erbst the !responsibilities for deaconess work, the dormitory girls, Daily Vacation Bible Schools and the many useful things our good women like to do. For the help of these good women and deaconesses we we are ever grateful to the loyal members of the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society of all Methodism. Mrs Moe has been busy with the dormitory boys. They are some­ times a hand full but it is good to see the splendid manhood of those willing to follow Jesus. Church music and a class of Senior girls take time. Book keeping, the family cares the sewing and some pack­ ing have made Mrs Moe the busiest member of the family. Mrs Inis has been in charge of the boys dormitory in Ilagan. There have been difficulties a plenty. Mr. Inis has been attending school in Manila. We planned three Sunday School Conventions. One for each province. Floods of rain threatened to dissolve all three. At the first in Nueva Viscaya it rained day and night. Good crowds at­ tended never-the-Iess. More than 50 persons professed convertion. 'Ve leaders were marooned by the highest flood in more than ten years. Brother Carino from the office of Dr. Ryan helped us finely. He feared to go farther north lest he miss his own wedding. He turned again to Manila starting on foot. It was impossible to meet the dates of Cagayan Convention, Miss Atkins met with the Pastors and workers and they had a good convention all by themselves. Miss Erbst and I were able to get the Convention No.3 and we had a good time with the Isabela workers. A few good friends have been turned from the Methodist faith to ploughing on Sunday and to preaching immersion. The Roman church is doing stronger work than formerly. But our sorest hurt is when our own workers fail in the test. On the other hand we rejoice that so many stand true in the Gospel faith thru persecution and sometimes ridicule. OUir pastors have traveled well. Gutierrez rides the carabao thru deep mud to visit his people. Faralan has traveled the upper Cagayan where he has three new churches and Sunday Schools. Altamero walks or rides thru all sorts of weather. His first thought is to get there. He really gets everywhere. He gave three solid months to revival meetings helping ten different groups of members, establishing the faith of believers and winning some seventy to decision for Christ. Tovera has helped supervised the North' coast. Dan visited churches in Vizcaya for me several times. He has the largest Sunday School in his Province. I suspect the Cagayan Valley has more new lands being occupied by home-steaders than any other corner of Luzon. Three new pastors are searching out these settlers with the Gospel and its ministry. All our men have labored well. The Lord knows his own and his own know Him. Statistics tell us there are 9450 members in the Valley, 652 more than a year ago. We have nine organized Epworth Leagues, with 45 395 members. Juniors number 1296. The churches paid for all causes 9237 pesos, just about one peso per member. About 80% of the salary budget has been met. There remains a vacuum of 1350 pesos. We missionaries meet this shortage as far as possible but it draws heavily on the zeal and spirit of the pastor whose family is in need. We notice a decided increase in the I!'ecognition given to pastors and missionaries in civic affairs, school and other public programs. Our workers are very frequently invited to give addresses and we try to make good use of all such opportunities. In the inter-provincial athletic meet last month Rev. Jacinto de Guzman who is a senior in High School this year, was the stall' man winning four blue ribbons. He won 16-14 points for Cagayan Province and made a record in long distance running which was only a few seconds below the all-eastern record. A Roman Catholic teacher said of him." You can depend on de Guzman. He's one of those Protestants." We count this victory something of a testimony and commendation for the Boys Dormitory where he has lived. We expect Jacinto de Guzman to win also in the endurance tests of life. Building indicllte progress. A new chapel has been built in Ba­ yabat one in Nammatan, Isabela. The pMsonage in Aparri is re­ paired and rearranged. The Sunday School room in Tuguegarao is being rebuilt. A cement floor in Sanches Mira constitute our progress. 'The District Conference filled five good days in Tuguegarao. Pastor Altamero arranged for splendid entertainment of the delegates by having the members from outside points of his circuit bring and serve the meals one day each. Solana, Pinablanca and the barrios of Tuguegarao helped to carry out this plan. Brother Francisco Carino returned to the Cagayan for this Conference. He spoke twice each day and left messages remembered and talked of by his hearers. The preaching and prayer services resulted in a number of conversions. Dr. Darby paid a visit to our Valley speaking several times to the young people. We also greatly enjoyed the visit of the Cameron family. Attention cannot be too often called to the Bible and the w01rk of the Bible Society. No other missionary visitors reached the District during the year. All our people are looking forward to Bishop Lee's visit next month. We anticipate valuable help and blessing in his coming. As we turn toward home the Cagayan work will be left to other hands. Weare glad there are capable men to guide this work I believe that all our people will be glad to welcome a new live mission­ ary family to help solve the prol?lems in Cagayan. Friends and associates, the Philippine, have become a part of us. We will listen eagerly for good news. We pray God to bless you each and all in the days and years ahead.

CENTRAL DISTRICT A. L. BECKENDORF, District Superintendent This is the tenth report which I have to submit to this Annual Conference. I have this year been hindered in my work first because of residence outside of my District, and secondly because of a neces­ sity for collecting funds with which to complete the Wesley Hall Dormitory. A married man was assigned as dean of this dormitory and thus a residence was required. I proceeded directly after Con­ ference to prepare for the erection of this residence, and within a few months it was ready for occupancy and the sum of thirteen hundred pesos raised for the same. Altogether I have personally collected over two thousand pesos during the year for building projects. This was all raised locally, and chiefly among Manila business men. 46 STATISTICS: Nueva Ecija province reports 1,003 new converts and Bulacan 117; making a total of 1,120. Pastors's Support for Nueva Ecija ______P 5,124 Bulacan ______6,164

These are located at Calumpit, Peiiaranda, Cabanatuan, Zaragoza and San An­ tonio at a cost of two thousand, seven hundred twenty pesos. We have 27 parsonages in 29 circuits. In the entire Conference there atre 98 parsonages in 178 circuits. . New Chapels have been begun at Calumpit and Paombong. Girls trained in our Junior League Institutes teach weekly in Central District about 1300 children. A Junior League Institute graduate, Miss Cristina Reyes, has 318 children in her Junior Leagues, which is a larger number even than any deaconess has. Four thousand children are being lI'eached by our young women workers. The Epworth Leagu'es remain much the same from year to year. There are five new Sunday Schools to be reported. CHURCH RECORDS: A few years ago I saw to it that practically all circuits had new church record books. At the present time a thilrd of those books have torn apart, and are in a dilapidated condition, owing to the fact that the binding of these books is so very weak, since the book sells at a .low cost. Moreover the record books in two churches have recently been lost. These reasons coupled with careless recording flI'equently place people in very embarassing positions· when seeking baptismal and marriage records. We may berate the Catholic Church in some matters, but they do keep their church records with greater care than we do here in the Philippines. Can we not have a committee to study this question and bring in recommendations? BENEVOLENCES: I find that benevolent giving by my District has decreased in the past two years. I have urged each circuit to give. I have carefully explained the purpose of our benevolences, but the churches greatly lack money for even theilI' local needs. But we did not say in 1918 that we must inaugurate self-support only when the churches could well afford it. Nor can we await a more opportune time for our benevolent giving. This Conference has thru the years been remiss in developing the benevolent spirit. But we cannot make real christians unless they think. of others. We call upon Mary Johnston Hospital to help us, but this enti,re Conference 47 last year gave but seventy-two pesos to that Institution. The Bible Society is indispensable to our work. We gave them sixty-eight pesos or thirty-eight centavos per circuit for all of 1928. Don't you think that your circuit would gladly give seventy-five centavos to the Bible Society next Conference year? I recommend that instead 'of our last years gift of P2.68 per circuit, which was the average payment of each of our 178 circuits to all benevolences for the whole of last year, that we earnestly endeavor to set our goal at five pesos per circuit for the entire Conference making a total of 890 pesos as over against 475 pesos for last year. STUDENT CENTERS AND DORMfTORY WORK: Mr. and Mrs. Stagg are about to go home on furlough. It is an inspiration to realize how much has been accomplished for students by these missionaries. Central Student Church is an ideal church home for students, touching several thousand of them thru the year. Mr. Stagg's evangelistic efforts for provincial students was in the beginning a task self-imposed but prosecuted because of his early conviction that work for students was highly strategic. Each ye'8Jr on an average twenty thousand students heard his evangelistic appeals m the provinces. Other thousands heard him in Commencement ad­ dresses. He believed wholeheartedly in dormitories for students and organized a number of them. As director of the Wesley Foundation, religious activities for students was constantly in his plans. Under his guidance a ten year program for dormitory building operations and development of activities for students was inaugurated. We have eleven dormitories and considerable machinery in opera­ tion to reach students. But we are merely touching the fll'inges. Our dormitories must become student centers to a far greater extent than they now are. We should go to hemes of student groups offering Bible Study courses and classes in ethics. To this end we must more definitely plan the training of workers for leadership of students. Conditions to-day Stre distressing. An EngHsh speaking preacher spends a year in a student center and then leaves for further study to be followed by another man who also wishes to study after a year of work. The result is chaos. If we plan to continue our effort to reach stUdents, then the time has come for training our keenest men for this special task, and also of assuring regulalr and adequate sub­ sidy from Mission funds for the support of such men. Wesley Hall has had a very unsatisfactory year, chiefly due to, the fact that students were not solicited before school opened and as a consequence we have gone thru the year with about fifteen boys while the capacity is three times that number.

EVANGELISM~ As work among students has its exemplar in Samuel W. Stagg and Mary Stagg-so christian activity among non-students has its outstanding leaders in Chaplain and Mrs. Joseph Clemens, our Con­ ference evangelists. Few among whom they work will ever fully appreciate the devotion of these choice spirits and the magnitude of their labor. They devoted two months to evangelistic effort in Central Dis­ trict during this 'Conference year. They lead the way for every pastor and missionary, but few there be who can hope to emulate their many sided and well balanced life and activity. They stress the spiritual and they live spiritually. Christ is to them all and in all. They have no vagaries in belief, or hobbies in their teaching. The Chaplain for three week periods thruout the year lives among the people ,in the country districts. He preaches daily, morning and night. 48 No one appreciates more than these evangelists the material im­ plications of the gospel. While receiving no sal3Jry, for they are self­ supporting workers, they furthermore constantly make liberal pladges of financial help toward the erection and completion of chapels. The Chaplain is a tither and stresses this teaching. BISHOP and MRS. LEE. I cannot refrain from adding a word of appreciation for our new bishop and M'rs. Lee. We recall with gratitude the sterling qualities of our episcopal leaders of the past. Weare confident too that we voice the sentiment of the Conference at large when we state that we are convinced that the bishopric mantle has fallen upon shoulders no less worthy. We are impressed with Bishop Lee's industry, his keen and sym­ pathetic insight into our problems, and his willingness to bear the burden which the solving of problems often entails. Therefore we go into the second year of this quadrenium greatly encouraged; and pledging anew our allegiance to our common Lord.

ILOCOS DISTRICT

JOSEPH W. MOORE, Superintendent. THE ECONOMIC SITUATION: There have been good crops in Ilocos this year, and the people are in easier straits than they were a year ago. But the effect of the crop failure of last year survives in debts which consume most of this year's income. Furthermore, the relief did not come until the end of the year when the harvests were in. The people have largely submitted to usurious practice in borrowing money to tide them over. A few public wOil'ks projects have been hailed as opportunities for getting ready money, but have exploited labol' and paid insufficient wages. Men came from distant parts of the Province to dig the ditches for the new sewer system in Vigan, to receive fifty or sixty centavos a day. Women were brought from Ilocos Norte because they would work at still lower wages, and for weeks they have been mixing con­ crete in the streets of Vigan, their sleek male bosses squatting by in the shade to see that they did theill' work. Under such circumstances self-support in the churches suffers inevitable slumps, and our preachers have to suffer with their people: CURRENT PROGRESS: There is howeve·r an upward trend which would indicate that there should be despair and hopelessness as to the outlook. In many places better school buildings are being erected. In Vigan the work has been begun on the new High School, and the Government is about to build the new capitol Extensive road improvements are under way. 'There never was so much building of substantial homes. The purchase of motor vehicles is constantly increasing. The standards of living are rising, and the people all'e buying more than ever before those things which might be classed and luxuries rather than ever those things which might be classed as luxuries rather than bare necessities. Many thousands of pesos pour into Ilocos by every mail from laborers abroad in Hawaii or America, and hundreds of young men and boys Me departing on every boat for those distant shores of adventure and promise. A large proportion of these labor emigrants are sending home more money than their families have ever had be­ fore, many return bringing substantial saving with them. It is OUl' conviction that while the Ilocanos are generally poor, they have such 49 traits of adventure, frugality and ambition as to insure their economic progress, and we may count upon building up a self-supporting church and ministry among them. THE CHURCH IN THE FIELD: Not much growth or development has taken place in the religious life and experience of the first generation of our church members since the early days of the church in their midst. If anything, with the passing of early enthusiasm and novelty, there has been a corres­ ponding decline of zeal and faithfulness among our older members. This is inherent in the circumstance of the rise to influence of the educated younger generation and we may not expect much progress of our work among our older people from now on. They should be tenderly shepherded, but our far greater opportunity lies with the youth of the new age. THE YEAR'S WORK: In keeping with this situation we are emphasizing religious ed­ ucation, and in the year's work much effort has been directed toward the children and youth. . Ilocos District, the smallest of all the districts, had last year, as reported by the Philippine Islands Council of Religious Education, the largest number of Daily Vacation Bible Schools, the largest num­ bers of D. V. B. S. teachers, and the next-largest enrollment of any district or region in the Archipelago. This year a ten-day institute will be held beginning April 1st at which about 50 volunteer teachers will gather fOIl' intensive training in D. V. B. S. work before going out to open their schools. Our other religious educational activities have been a religious­ leadership training institute held jointly with the Disciples Mission, under the direction of Dr. A. Lowell Ryan, with 44 in attendance; a two-weeks mid-year workers' institute, and the Epworth League Institute, at all of which consistent instruction was given in how to do tke work. An effort was made to extend religious education to the local churches through holding ten six-day institutes in as many church centers. Then, under the leadership of our District Missionary of the W. F. M. S., Miss Helen Wilko women's institutes were held in eleven other congregations. We are confident that this effo·rt has great value, and wish that we could have greater liberty to carry it on. OTHER EVENTS OF THE YEAR WERE: 1. The visit of Bishop Lee, accompanied by Dr. Lyons, when all of the District workers and many of our people got to meet and hear our new Leader. 2. Our Sunday Convention v.t Capariaan, which was well at­ tended, and in which we were privileged to have the leaership of our General Secretary, Dr. A. Lowell Ryan. 3. The Student Mass meetings at Vigan under the powerful preaching of Brothers S. W. Stagg. A feature of these meetings was the gatherings of our dormitory and Student Church young people for more penetrating and intimate consideration of the Christian Life. 4. The four revivals held by our venerable Conference Evangel­ ist, Chaplain Joseph Clemens and his 'Lady', who went out into our struggling barrios with the message of Light and Power. Where­ ever the Chaplain goes there is a great stirring up of dead men's bones, and old sinners in the church are made to quake and repent by his preaching of righteousness and salvation. He gives profound 50 stimulus to the work, and his long lists of baptized converts become at once the· means of approach 'to many people we could hardly reach otherwise, and a challenge to our preachers to win them for the church. 5. The All-Ilocano convention held by the Evangelical Protest­ ants of Ilocos in Bangued, at which gracious fellowship and high inspiration were enjoyed by large delegation of our Methodist people. 6. Our District Conference, characterized by hard work and a genuine thrill in the victorious reports, especially of the Domestic Mission achievement. BUILDING AND PROPERTY IMPROVEMENTS: Without any aid from Mission source the work of building has gone on at Tamurong, where a large stone church will be under roof before the rainy season. The church at San Esteban under the per­ severance of Brother Tomas Lara has been well roofed, and used offi­ cially for the first time as the seat of the District Conference. Bro­ ther I. R. Collado has through great persistence and strategy secured a very desirable site for the new church to be built as the Elsie Fischer Bernhardt Memorial at Santa Maria, and has already began to gather substantial benches, chairs and other furniture for this new church. There is a movement throughout the District to erect Sunday School rooms for children's departments, and to provide suit­ able furniture for them. Small chairs and tables are being placed in seprurate class rooms. The Wood Memorial Student's Church at Vigan should be built during the next year, as the new High School location assures us of the strategic position of our site for this project. Lack of space prevents mention of the dormitory and student wOlrk and the listing of the achievements of each of our fellow workers in the various pastoral charges. We have gone forth into the field and baptized, recruited and taught. We have seen young people and older ones come into the Kingdom and develop into leaders of grace and power. We have great hope in them, and we desire above all things, after a brief furlough for family reunion at home, refreshment and study, to re­ turn and continue the work in this field where our best friends abound, and where Christ has been with us all the way.

MANILA DISTRIRCT J. F. COTTINGHAM, Supt. We express our gratitude to the General Conference in assigning to us our new leader. Bishop Edwin F. Lee. We feel sure we voice the sentiments of the whole district in the welcome to Bishop and Mrs. Lee. At a reception given in Knox Memorial Church fourteen motor-buses brought some of the fifteen hundred of our Manila Dis­ trict Methodists. Zambales which was not able to send delegates made a good contribution for the expenses. MEMBERS"HIP. Our membership list has been carefully revised and several hundred known to be absent from the laJI'ge churches have been ·omited. In four years our pastors have carefully revised and removed 1475 names, yet they have so successfully labored that they have added to the membership 4352 or a total gain over the losses of almost 3000 Our District Membership is now 12,461. SUNDAY SCHOOLS Organizations has been stressed. Twenty­ five, cr about one half, of our churches now provide sepal'ate rooms 51 for the Primary Department. Thirteen places have prOVISIOn for both Primary and Juniors. Some of the schools, about eighteen, are well organized in all the Departments. MoOst of our pastors teach a Teacher Training Class, but it is with regret to report that the Course carried by the students under the Council of Religious Education seems to produce more diplomas than teachers. We would recommend that no diploma be given until the student has done at least six months active teaching in his own church. The D.V.B.S. has been successful under the direction of our W. F .M.S. missionaries and the deaconesses, and pastors. We hope to add to the 1699 enrolled last year. In the Church Schools there are 356 officers and teachers, 8000 students, in 81 places. EPWORTH LEAGUES. The Leagues of the District have had a remarkable growth. The measure has not been by numbers but by the real spiritual and social work. Thirty leagues have labored faithfully this year while the membership has risen to 1605 or an increase of 60 per cent. The Bagumbayan League is an example of the good work done by our leaguers, completing their two story home. Paraiiaque League raised five hundred-pesos for a Sunday School room. Malabon League helped build a new parsonage. Tondo League has a pledge of P500 on their new church. Tangos League raised more than two thousand pesos on their church and built a League hall besides.

The Home Missionary Society is now organized in forty churches, IThe delegated convention was attended by some two hundred and fifty delegates. .. The society has collected and disbursed P3700, helping support 18 pastors and the erection of a number of buildings. JUNIOR CHURCHES. We have eighteen organized Junior Churches in which the attendance averages 850 each week. These Juniors 8Jre learning the work of the church in the the same way their elders do, but in many cases are more faithful than the olde-r folk. The Junior Church at Knox has grown into a y.oung People's church and is the brightest star in the splendid galaxy at Knox. MISSIONS. During the year it was our privileges to sail thiru the Island W orId; Borneo, Celebes, New Guinea, Ceram, Timor and the thousands of Islands and coral atolls, the homes of the Malay race. Always we were impressed with the thought that little is being done to evangelize this great section of the world. The story of the conquest of the Islands that lie South and East of us has been the most romantic of all conquests. Missions which bear the standard of Jesus must go to this vast region with its 90,000,- 000 people. Missions that are of the sending sort, that will send in the name of Christ our Filipino workers to these brethren who sit in darkness and the shadow of night. 52 Each year our people hav~ been learning to give. Last year it was said that Manila District had reached its limit. This year we have exceeded the last. Domestic Missions, Tithing Stewardship, and Budgets have been faithfully taught. Many of the people now bring the regular tithe and offering each week. In San Felipe Neri the people have built a small chapel costing P500.00. - Between this and the P20,000 church at Tangos is a wide step and yet few hav€ worked as earnestly as the many. New build­ ings have been erected at Tangos, Pangjulo, San Juan, San Felipe, San Felipe, Zam. Taytay. Amungon, and San Agustin. Parsonages at Palauig, Bagumbayan, Julong Duhat, and Corregidor, New Sunday School room,s at Parafiaque, Malabon Sur, and Tangos. A total of fowrteen new buildings, while ten places have made extensive repairs. The total amount raised for the new work and repairs is P37,858. Our pastors with their growing families and the high standard of living are yet much underpaid and yet they are receiving more than they could possibly get undell" any plan except selfsupport, the past year the people paid the pastors 26,819 pesos or an average to the full time married men of 78 pesos per month. The Malabon-Navotas group of churches is a good example of our work. Just a few years ago there were two pastors were serving the four chapels, and there were no parsonages. Now we have four of our best workers there. Seven good chapels have been built, four fine parsonages and three Sunday School and League buildings. Thirteen hundred all"e enrolled in the Sunday Schools and five hundred in the Epworth Leagues. This yea1r these churches paid their pastors P4,500 pesos, built two new churches, two new parsonages, on one primary building, one Epworth League Hall, and paid for all purposes 25,500 pesos. This does not include 348 pesos paid into the Domestic Missions and some five hundred spent in entertaining institutes. The four pastors have made 1574 calls, and held 1265 prayer meetings, receiving four hun­ dred new members into the church. Tangos church is the result of the tithe of poor fishermen. Each Sunday the tithe was brought to the church. Sometimes it amounted to thirty and sometimes to one hundred pesos. Victory there has come at great cost but our people know it pays. The path of the stonn. Returning from the Zambales Conven­ tion of Religious Education the November typhoon overtook us. Ten hours trying to get a distance of fifty miles, we saw our chapels and parsonages going down as we passed by. Three were destroyed by the gale. One half the roof of our house in Olongapo was carried away. The Taytay Church kept coming to my mind for I knew how the brethren there had -sacrificed for the church. The frame up and the roof finished was a fair target for the force of the wind. Taytay church, the second of .oUll' biggest building projects was torn from its foundation and cast into the street. 'The Romanos thrust their' tongues out and derided them saying: "It is the wrath of God," It was a great loss but it proved the ,metal of the Taytay Church. The building has been re-erected and is stronger and better than before. The building is but little smaller than Tangos and will cost at least half as much. P?·ospects in Stewardship. Tondo is planning a new church, it will cost thirty thousand. Parafiaque has now begun to raise money for a new church to cost nine thousand. Three thousand a year is their goal. G. Tuason has voted to raise a thousand a year for four years. Salaries should be increased, if we can hold to our standall"d we can do it. 53 Our Stewardship Campaign has brought 76,193 pesos this., year of a total of almost fifty per cent over the previous year. We hope to equal it again the coming year. \Ve admit we have failed in many things. We asknowledge our weakn'ess and are heartily sorry for our 'shortcomings. But the Lord has been so gracious and kind and our co-workers have been so loyal and true, how can we be discouraged? Ichabod is not in our voca­ bulary but all along the line it is Chabod, God with us ... with us in the city and' the remote barrio. Victory in Sunday School., League, Missions, revivals, support of ministry and building of churches. Our God is marching on and like Paul we are forgetting the things that are behind and pressing forward toward the prize that is before us. The total gain is religious education this year has been twenty per cent; we want twenty-five. We have gained seventeen hundred new members our goal is three thousand. Our M. D. S. has collected P3,700 and their goal has become P5,000. The church has paid P76,OOO but we want PSO,OOO next year, AND MOST OF ALL WE WANT THE OTHER SHEEP OF THE GREAT FOLD OF THE MALAY PEOPLES. GOD GIVE US THE ISLANDS OF THE SEA.

PANGASINAN DISTRICT S~VERINO CORDERO, Sl!j)aintendent Respected Bishop and Members of the Annual Conference:- Through the influence of the encouraging words of God, we humbly continued serving His beautiful and wide vineyard in the District of Pangasinan. The many ever-living foundation achieve­ ments of the former and later leaders of the District in the person of Doctor Lyons and Doctor Peterson continue to form the base of our strength and help in the care' of this precious vineY8lI'd. I do not doubt that this field continue to receive showers of blessings through their continued prayers. The motto of my life, "Jesus is my strength" sustains me to say that during this conference year I went a number of times thll'ough and all around (slow as it ,vas meet for the strength granted me by God) .the seventy-five congregations under the care of thirty-three Pastors in charge of circuits giving them all the best I knew for the strengthening of the work of the Lord and the extention of His King­ dom. There were a few sad cases arising from the inbo·rn weakness of men and women but I am happy to certify that the same tempta­ tions gave way for the manifestation of God's care for His people because some of the lost are up again while the Test are now at the door of repentance. There were many difficult projects and noble aspirations which were made easy and thus accomplished (though not all of them) due to the many co-workers and church members, men and women who are filled with the spirit of service whose motto in life is, "Lwei, what wilt thou have me to, do." I thank the Lord for giving us godly people like these who because of the consciousness of God's love in their hearts are seeking some means of serving, knowing that in service is the joy of the saved soul. The fll'uits of our .labor this year are as follows:- I. The widening of the Kingoom of God: Because of the thirty evangelistic campaigns in the District in thirty different places with seven days each, there are added 1807 l}ew converts. Eight hundred of which are done by the said cam- 54 paigns and .one thDusand and seven was by Chaplain Clemens. CDpar­ ing this year with last year we have eight hundred mDre this year. The first six places that have the greatest number .of CDnverts are: Tayug, Tupa, San RDque, Sta. Barbara, Sta. Maria, Daso1, and Bani whDse respective PastDrs are: Revs. AmbrDciD Bernard.o, RDman Paltep, DDmingo Cabacungan, Ricard.o de 1a Cruz, Ildefonzo Brazal, and MarianD Raguindin. II. The sel/-support: The total Pastoral suppDrt is P6751.00. We increased very little this year. The first six places giving the highest support are: Lin­ gayen, San Nicolas, Tayug, San Fabian, Villasis and San Manuel whDse respective Pastors are as fDllDWS: Revs. Eugeni.o L. Fernan­ dez, RDman T. Calica, Ambrocio Bernwrdo, Buenaventura Munda, Felipe Marq-gez, and TiburciD Marquez. III. The chapels:

Pertaining to the chapels' expenses we have a tDtal .of P2395.00. The impDrtant chapels that made use of it are: chapels of Bani, San Manuel, San Nicolas, BinalDnan, Anda, and Poz.orrubiD respectjvely. There are eight new chapels. They are the chapels .of Guyuden, DasDI, San J.ose, Urdaneta, D.on Benito, San CaJrl.os, Burg.os, and Eguia. Under the inspiring and active leadership .of the Pasoors .of these places the said chapels were erected. Though these chapels are not .of strDng materials that are lasting, however they are attrac­ tive and beautiful. The best of all is that the brethren that con­ tributed for the said chapels ,gave their best. The presence .of these chapels give great joy in the heart of th.ose desirDus fDr the hDUse .of God. The Pastors to whDm we are indebted for these are: Revs. Emeteri.o Kabada, Ildefonzo Brazal, Flor Velasquez, and the Bible women Rosa Paras and Marta Diasen. There are also chapels just begun waiting fDr the help from the MissiDn such as chapels in Labayug, Bayambang, Mangaldan, AgnD, Umingan. There are those that are being built such as chapels in Calasia.o CarDt, Bani, BDlinao, Asingan, San Quintin, San Fabian, PDzorru­ biD, San Manuel, and BinalDnan.

V. My other wO'l'ks: 152 Quarterly CDnferences. 2593 Letters strengthening the wDrk. 3 Conventions of District Domestic Mission. 3 Bible Institutes. 55 2 Sunday School Conventions. 214 Sermons. 1 Interdenominational Convention. 52 Special visits to Congregations that needed me very badly. VI. New Co-workers: Two to be members of the annual Conference. They are Atty. Dionisio Garcia and Mr. Feliciano Amor. Six more supply Pastors-­ Roman Amor, Saturnino Antonio, Emilio Loreseo, Perfecto Lali­ marmo, Rosa Paras, and Francisca Rodriguez. There Me eight new Biblewomen and Deaconesses. One of the greatest events we have this year is the arrival of Miss Leila Dingle. Though she bas been with us just for a few months we feel her great and close heart with her female co-workers, for this we hODe for a great blessing she can help to· the District which we longed and ask, that she ll1ay give more time, that she may not teach in the Training School for there are two Districts feT her to work, Pangasinan and Tarlac. She may permit that her work is as the Missionary incharge for the female workers and fOlr this reason she should not teach in the Biblewomen Training School. VII. The Bible Women's Training School: I wish to express my honor and thanks for the good leadership of Miss Mildred M. Blakely in the Training School and aided by Miss Thompson. The good produced by that Institution 8JI'e great blessings to the Philippines and though those that will graduate from that Institution will stop working as Biblewomen because of mar­ riage, still the value of the seed planted by that Institution unto them will last for I doubt not that out of them will be born the hope of the nation. The long service of the Filipina teachers of that Institution like Miss Silveria Lucas, Miss J anuaria Casipit, Miss Felisa de Vera, Miss Dominga Requiza, and others shows ther being qualified in the worken trusted to them and also their love to their church and to their native land; And being their neighbors in place we shared greatly help and love from them because of fellowship and dif­ ficulties. The two other institutions, are the DOIl'mitory and the Kinder­ garten which are under the charge of Miss Isabel Garcia and Miss Marcela Camino respectively. I believe in their great value and fitness in the district, because of their sowing seeds of the great principles of life in the young children and the young people so that they may become good co-workers of the Lord, of the church, and the country. One more very significant blessing to our District is the selection of one among us to attend the greatest Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church in America, and this we all know is Rev. Cipriano NavSllTo. We heard his news and his great company with the great Evangelist Dr. Stanley Jones. These experiences is one of the steps of the entrance of the Philippines to the most sacred place of our church. We also thank God for when he was absent, Rev. Eugenio L. Fernandez came to take his place as Pastor of the church .of Lingayen. Lastly, if there be any good. thing done in our District we owe all to God, and the sweet co-operation of the workers in the District, each giving the best he or she can to carryon the plan of the District. 66 In closing the Pangasinan District gives her hearty thanksgiving to our new Bishop for his visits to twenty places where there are con­ gregations, and if it were not for the three punctures of our car while we were visiting we might have visited more places where programs were prepared. It is f{)rtunate for the Philippines that we have a Bishop to lead this area. Pangasinan District will c{)-operate with you brethren of the Conference. We close with greetings and prayers to God that his life and his family may be prolonged that they may be able to help us for many years.

T ARLAC DISTRICT LORENZO T. TAMAYO, Superintendent My dear beloved brethreJ1 and friends;- It is with much praise and thanksgiving that we once more !render an account of our stewardship to our all-loving heavenly Father. The privilege that I have to submit the annual report for Tarlac District, I am considering it as the measurement of the unbounded Fatherly love of God who is always helping us in all our work and that the for­ ward step of time has created. in the hearts of the people a greater sympathy toward each other, besides the personal Christian experience that has enriched their lives with all the blessings from above. For these blessings, I am giving God my joy and thanksgiving without end. Work on Evangelization The work of Evangelization in the 24 Congregations in the Dis­ trict is divided among the 20 Circuits under the supervision of 16 pastors in charge and 22 Women workers and three District super­ visors and Stewards, who are the following: Rev Donato C. Antonio, Anastacio Ortiz and Crispulo Y cban, these three brothers have been my great helpers in this part of the work and the Rev. Alipio Valdes helped me much with my correspondence work. As the result of the unceasing labors that is going on in the District there are 402 new members added to the ChUtrch membership and 751 Baptized adults and Children. Institutes. During th2' summer vacation, institutes for the Sunday School Teachers were held in two places. Brother Francisco Carino and Bonifacio Angeles helped make these Institutes a success. The Daily Vacation Bible School was held in seven places by the Women workers of the District under the supervision of Miss Mina L. Fletcher, the District Missionary. The Institutes for the men and Women workers and helpers of the work were held in six places by the Revs. Donato Antonio., Anasta­ cio Ortiz and Miss Mina L. Pletcher. Organizations. There are 42 organized Sunday Schools with a total membership of 2458; 9 organized Epworth Leagues with a total membership of 258 and 47 organized Junior Leagues. These organizations are slowly developing and are making no great progu'ess in their respective work because of the insufficient or. lack of experience and knowledge of management on the part of the leaders and teachers upon whose shoulders lay the burden of the work. These are the only institutions that we have in the Church whose responsibility is to teach the people 57 Ireligious education, to cultivates their spiritual lives and make them stronger and more reliable members of the church. For these reasons and none others we are in the need of leaders who are well equiped and prepared and who have experience to take charge of the work of these departments. In the District there are seven High Schools; 4 of which are private and the other 3 are under the Government. As it is a fact that can not be denied that yeM' after year the number of students is rapidly increasing and the that there are new Schools established to meet the present needs still there are great numbers of these students who are den~ed the privilege to enter the doors of the institutions of learning because {)f lack of funds to defray the necessary expenditures and buildings to accomodate them. During the short regime of the American ~vernment in these Islands the greatest proglress attained by us is in the line of ,education; for this reason we feel that the Church ought to extend her. helping hands in this great humanitarian interprise of education the great number of young people who Me eager to grasp every opportunity to prepare themselves to be better, citizens of the country, as she is doing in the other countries. MEDICAL WORK. In the District' there is only one Hospital for the 302,631 inhabitants. The urgent need for more Hospitals is beyond expression and it is calling for the Church to extent her hand to help the suffering Humanity. The Public Health Departments in the Municipalities and the Doctors are not enough to meet the demands in this work. DORMITORY WORK. The DOIrmitory work in Tarlac, Tarlac, under the management of Miss Carmen Cunanan is doing well but we need to better up the condition of the building so that it can accomo­ date more than its present capacity. IN THE FAMILY. The unexpected time has come. Two of the Children of Rev. and Mrs. Felipe Regualos were both called to the life beyond, with an interval of one day in the month of June and the two children of Rev. and Mrs. Alipio Valdes were also called to the heavenly abode with an interval of three days in the month of August of last year. The glriefs of these brethren over flows their ,hearts and is beyond expression, but they found consolation in the words of the master which says that the little children are the heirs of the kingdom of God. WORK ON CONSTRUCTION. The work on the completion and reparations of the ten chapels was continued, which are as follows: Rizal, Laur, Alcala, Rosales, Victoria, Gerona, San Jose, Tarlac, Ca­ rino and'Lamboy. The total expenses is P2623 :00. This wOlrk had diminished the fund for self-support. This work is still unfinished and we are still in need of fund of not less than P8000: 00 to complete the work' already begun. A campaign is now being made to raise P535 :(}O with which to buy 36 beds for the Training School in Lingayen and we hope that we are able to collect this amount by the month '0\£ Avril of ihis year. Two lots were donated to .the Church by the Brethren this year. One is in· Plateros and the other is in Magasawang Sampalo.:!, the to.tal value of which is P240.00. Only 26 lots out of the 28 do.nated to. the church became its absolute pro- perty. '

Self-Support. Only 50 % of the annual budget this year was raised and 40 % was turned over reverted to the work on construction and the remain­ ing 10% was not collected because great many of the members have 58 migrated to other places outside of the District. Our young pEllople are still irresponsible in this work and to the adult members lay the bUirden of work. And for this reason we Qught to have a greater knowledge and interest along this line of work so that our love may become greater, the only means and way by which we can attain the full knQwledge of equality before God.

Conferences and Conventions. During this year two pastoral conferences, two Domestic Mission Society conventions, the Sunday School convention and the District conference were held. The program and itineraries of the work were renewed according to the condition of every place and the work was given ot the workers under the supervision of the pastO'rs incharge. The attendance of the prominent men and the professors of the different Institutions of learning at the Distict conference have inspired us and they revealed that they are with us to uphold the flag of liberty and freedom found in the Gospel and are not only helping us intelectually but also by their means. G1'eetings of Welco'me. Our new Bishop came to us for the first time last October and he made an Episcopal visit for the first time in Tarlac District visiting ten 'circuits, a record in the history of the District. Mss Leila V. Dingle the successor of Miss- Mina 1.. Fletcher our District Missionary, came to us for the first time during the District conference. The coming of the Bishop and Mrs. Lee and Miss Leila V. Dingle is a blessing from above for the good and wellfare of cur mother land the Philippines and t,o them, we do express our heart­ felt love and greetings and thanks and praises to God. SOCIAL AND SPIRITUAL LIFE OF THE PEOPLE. The social and the spiritual life of the people both have kept abreast with the adyance of time lifting and upholding the conditions of the people to the higher level of life. The social and commercial life is the ever present formidable adversary of the progress of the Christian life of the people. The frequent discussions that we have with the other denomi­ nations is one of the many hindrances of the rapid growth of the spiritual and religious life of the people,. but I do not consider this, our greatest and formidable enemy but the one that I consider. our greatest and vilest enemy is the brother and friend who may become a traitor against oUtr cause. The Methodist Episcopal Church has the strength and power because her purposes and deeds al'e framed to the feelings and needs of the people. The master says, "DO UNTO OTHERS AS YOU WOULD HAVE OTHERS DO UNTO YOU~" The church must go on triumphantly and without blemish. The ardent desire of my heart is the peaceful, prosperous life and fruitful labors of all the sons and elect of God.

CARLOS L. MALICSI, Provincial ~Mis8ionary After the Annual Conference of 1928 it was decided I would be reassigned Provincial Missionairy of Zambales and Pastor of Olon­ gapo Church. As Provincial Missionary I wanted the churches: of Zambales to be progressive but due to the lack of traveling expenses I could not visit all the churches. I also had much work in Olongapo so what I did was to write all the Pastors and local preachers to give them advice and asked them how they Rlre getting along. By the help of God every church is progressing in the work. There are two needed pastors, for San Felipe and Cabangan. Recently, at the convention of Zambales Council of Religious Education in Palawig, the need of Cabangan was remedied. I thank God that Salvador Tante, once a candidate for president, responded to the call. Brother Tante went to Iba and brother Jacobo Montalla was transfered to Cabangan. . Inspite of handicaps, we successfully held fOUl' remarkable activi­ ties. First there were the n.V.B.Ss. held in nine places with an enrol­ ment of 420 childJren under the leadership of Mrs. Rayno, Misses Vigi­ lia. De la Rosa. Dumawal, Lasam, Arellano and local workers. The days of teaching numbered 155 and the cost of board, travel and material was approximately Pa80.00. Secondly, there was the convention of Zambales Council·of Relig­ ious Education held in Palawig last November. The delegates from Manila and different towns of Zambales were entertained. The con­ vention was a success due to fine cooperation and the guindance of Rev. and Mil'S. Manuel Navarro. Dr. and Mrs. Cottingham and Rev. B. Angeles also rendered fine services. Their talks. lectures and sermons inspired the delegates to help their churches with enthusiasm and devotion. The convention decided that the First Annual. Epworth League Institute be held in Olongapo during Christmas season. The value of entertainment for two and a half days was about P200.00. The travel of the delegates cost P150 more or less. IThirdly, we had the First Epworth League Institute from the 25th to the 30th of December 1928. It was a successful one. Differ­ ~nt churches of Zambales sent their young people to Olongapo and were entertained by the local chapter. The instituters were fortunate in having the aid of such young men as Revs. Clemente Zuniga and Santiago Aguilar. The morning watch was deeply devotional and the young folks saw a new light. The classes were very inspiring. In the afternoons there were games, hikes and excursions. The instituters visited the Dry Docks and the different departments of the Olongapo Naval Re­ servation. Thev took an excursion to Grande Island. Mr. D. E. Scofield fixed up a Naval Boat for 200 people and led the excursionists. Ninety one went to the excur,sion. Every night there were lectures and sermons. The Institute closed Sunday morning, Dec. 30th with Rev. C. ,Zuniga preaching the sermon on the text, "Give ye them something to eat." The delegates returned greatly helped. The total expense of the Institute was approximately P300.00. The three successful activities mentioned above were planned and managed by the Cabinet of the Zambales Council of Religious Educa­ tion. I wondered how the officers worked. They sp,oke little and "Tote short but worked tremenduously. Last Christm,as I worked to secure money to buy gifts for the deaconesses and the pastors and their families. Through constant prayer and work many responded by means of giving money, clothing and toys. I bought each pastor a pair of Hike shoes, pair of socks, 60 pair of drill suits, neckties and' Filipina dress for their wives. Each child received toys, dresses, and pair of shoes too. For the deacon­ esses, a pair of shoes and stockings each. During the Institute we gathered in the parsonage of Olongapo and Mrs. C. L. MaliC15i distri­ buted the gifts. May QUI' God bless those friends and brethren who responded to our appeal. During the last week of Jan. and the first week of Februa.ry, I visited all the churches and held local conferences. I found all the churches working. Palawig is about to erect a new parsonage and enlarge the chapel. Iba is rebuilding the chapel in San Agustin and Amungan and the parsonage. Work on the chapel at Poblacion con­ tinues. Cabangan is repairing the roof of its chapel. San Felipe though without a pastor is finishing a chapel. San Narciso does the .same thing and is building a new parsonage. Nilusungan plans to renew the chapel walls and make more benches. Castillejos feels lone­ some. Its chapel and parsonage were blown by a storm last November. Now they are enthusiastic again; the members chopped woods and are sawing them; the pastor is busy collecting money everywhere. The pastor bought a strong material house fOIl' parsonage and plans to build a new chapel in Subic this year. Santa Rita chapel is under repair. Olongapo had repaired the chapel and the parsonage; only the painting of the parsonage is not finished. The fourth activity was the Sub-Dist. Conference held in San Narciso February 15-17. The delegates were entertained. Dr. J. F. Cottingham presided over the meetings. Upon the inspiration of the consecration service we assembled at the altar and offered once more ourselves fQr His service. New members were added to the church tha t morning.

STATE OF THE CHURCH Looking back in the history of our church we see remarkable }.Irogress in her temporal, moral and spiritual state. We give our sincere and profound gratitude to Almighty God for His abiding care .and guiding hands. We also commend the workers for theitr faithful­ ness to duty. We rejoice that we are marching triumphantly. In the words of Bishop Lee, "We are not perfect but we are improving." Confident in the steady and cooperative effort of our constituency, ir()m our presiding bishop to the humblest member, we beg to recom­ mend the following fair the ensueing year: FIRST .-That our membership records be carefully looked into for the purpose of eliminating names that do not actually l'epresent c·ur membership rememberring however, that each name appearing thereon represent a soul for which our Saviour died and that such .cancelation be done only as it advances the Kingdom of God and give respectability to the church. SECOND.-That a "CHURCH DAY" be observed annually thru­ -out the Conference; That each congrega.tion use at least six weeks to prepare for such day and we further recommend the following suggestions: (a) That a goal for the six weeks preparation be set as follows: 61 (1) Every church financial obligation, local as well as bene­ volences be paid up-to-date on Church Day. ·(2) That the church building be built, improved, rebuilt or painted as the case may be. (3) That each person saved may win another. (b) That each member and friend's home be visited with the following objectives:- .

(1) To hold a prayer meeting in each home. (2) Ascertain what definite relations these homes have with the church activities and services. (3) To strengthen the bonds of fellowship and do some personal evangelism. (4) To secure pledges for tithing for six weeks, preferably fOIl' a whole year. (c) All the societies and organizations within the church be readjusted wherever necessary to' meet new situations. (d) That at least one week of intense evangelistic services be conducted immediately preceeding the "Church Day." (e) That the Holy Communion and Baptism service be parts of the church service the Sunday preceeding the "Church Day." Toma.s E. Altam.e1·o.

THE RESOLUTIONS COMMITTEE Your committee begs to submit the following resolutions: I.-We wish to express our appreciation to the pastor and mem­ bers of Knox Memorial Church for the splendid entertainment given the conference. 2.-We welcome back to our conference Dr. and Mrs. Lyons, Dr. R. Parish, Misses Odee, Hewson, Atkins and Finley and Brother C. Navarro, our ministerial delegate to the General Conference. We rejoice at the coming of Miss L. Dingle into our midst to reenforce the women's missionary force in Tarlac and Pangasinan. 3.-We record OThr appreciation for the inspiring addresses deliv­ ered before his conference by Dr. W. C. Barclay, Secretary of Relig­ ious Education for the Foreign Field and by Dr. John R. Mott, the fraternal greetings .of rep'resentatives of other churches, the fine pre­ sentation of the work of the W.C.T.U. by Miss M. Southard and the talk of Mr. F. B. Cameron of the American Bible Society. 4.-We record our remembrance of the absent members of this Conference especially those studying in the United States. 5.-We shall miss the company of Brothers Stagg, Moore and Moe and their families during their furlough. These good people are well trained and well fitted for the pa,rticular work which they have been doing. In the Student Church and the Wesley Foundation work of the Conference, the Staggs influenced thousands of young people and brought scores of them to a definite decision to accept Christ and serve Him. 62 The Moores have been doing high;,.grade work in the district of Ilocos Sur, the province which furnished the largest number of can­ didates for Christian service. 'They also made a valuable contribution in the translation of the new edition of the Ilocano Bible. The Moes are choice people who have been working among the student class of Tuguega,rao and the rapidly increasing population of Cagayan Valley. Sacrifice and hardships have charact€:rized their labors but their efforts have borne steady and plentiful fruitage. While we shall all miss these people we wish them a happy and restful vacation. We urge them however to let nothing prevent theirr speedy return to thier respective fields. 6.-We are exceedingly fortunate to have Bishop Edwin F. Lee and his charming wife with us in the work here. Both are familiar with Philippine conditions. For many years they have shown an abiding interest in the spiritual and material welfare of the Filipinos. The bishop's knowledge of Missions, the fruit of rich experience both at home and on the field, makes him an efficient and sympathetic administrator. The cordiality shown the pastors and other workers by our bishop and his wife, largely explains the success of our Annual Conference sessions this year. In this connection we desire to express to the bishop and his wife our gratitude for providing each member of the Conference a copy of the Methodist Discipline for 1928. F'rancisco S. Galvez.

UNION THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY

A. LOWELL RYAN In dosing the fourth yea,r of my service as president of Union Theological Seminary, and thinking back over various experiences, I find a great deal that brings encouragement. The school is a going concern. It is growing in size and influence. It has established itself both in the life of the church and in the educational life of the islands. The past year has been one of marked progress and development. Notwithstanding a few examination mClrtalities, we have graduated this year the largest group of degree students in the history of the institution. Three received their B.D. degrees, five received A.B. degrees, and one received the Ph.B. degree. They are a choice group. We all'e proud of them. They should be real leaders in the work of the church. During the first semester I was absent due t.v attendance at and participation in the World's Tenth Sunday School Convention held in "Los Angeles last July. Rev. E. K. Higdon, Vice-president of the Seminary was at the helm and guided affairs with his usual high degree of efficiency. During my absence he introduced an order of service in our chapel assemblies which has contributed to a worshipful spirit. I wish to take occasion at this time to speak in high terms of appreciation of his work both as an administrator and as a teacher. He and his good wife have rendered superb service. Mr. Higdon has headed the Old Testament department, and Mrs. Higdon the depart­ ment of Church History. As they leave soon on furlough our prayers and good wishes go with them. They hold the deep affection of both students and Faculty. Their influences has been most constructive. We sincerely hope they may return to the work here. We shall greatly miss them. 63 Under Mr. Higd.on's superVISIon, Seminary Day was .observed again in many churches. While the collecti.ons for the Seminary have not amounted to as much as last year, it is believed the publicity has been worth while. " Methodist Teaching Staff As a result of a special Greek scholarship offered by the Amer­ ican Bible Society, a course in Beginning Greek was introduced last June. Dr. J. F. Cottingham has been the successful teacher of this difficult but important course. He plans to offer a second year of Greek this coming year. Rev. O. L. Davis has had charge of the New Testament depart­ ment and has rendered most excellent service. Some new courses are being introduced for next year. Rev. Francisco Carino has taught two courses in religious educa­ tion in addition to his efficient work as director of Teacher Training in the Philippine Council of Religious Education. Miss Mary Evans taught a course in religious dramatics and pageantry the first semester, for which we are grateful. This coming year Mrs. Davis will come back to teach a course or two in English and also help with the music where she is so effec­ tive. We have also asked her to serve as Dean of Women. If present plans carry out, Mrs. Ryan will be here for the second semester. We hope to have her help in English and religious edu­ cation. Growth in En'rollment The total enrollment this past year is 94, 37 of these a're Method­ ists 81 of the 94 are in college classes, and 13 are advanced Seminary students. You may be interested in SoOme comparative figures. In 1924-25 the total enrollment was 43, 12 advanced Seminary students and 31 college students. IThis "did not include the B.T .S. students of whom there were 21 that year. The B.T.S. enrollment dropped to 7 the following year, and was automatically discontinued after that. From 1924-25 to the present year the advanced Seminary enroll­ ment each year has been as follows: 12, 11, 13, 14, and 13 this year. The college enrollment for each year for the same period is as foOllows: 31, 45, "72, 66, 81. The number of students in the college or pre-theolog­ ical courses has increased quite noticeably, while the Seminary enroll­ ment has remained on the same level apparently. But certain facts need to be remembered. First with the raising of standards which took place in 1926-27 when an extra year was added to the course, it takes .longer for men to go thru the entire course and finally come into the advanced Seminary work. Second, there is always a sifting as we -go higher in school work. Most of this college enrollment exists even at present in the first two years. In four years more we ought to expect a material increase in advanced Seminary students. Third, these figures of the l8Jrger enrollment in college classes do not mean that ministerial students have grown less, rather they have increased. In 1923-24 there were 39 ministerial students in the college and Seminary classes. (At that time we had just two years of college classes.) In 1927-28, while there were 14 students in the advanced Seminary classes and 66 in the c.ollege there were actually 52 ministerial students, which means that the minis­ terial students have increased, most .of them being naturally in the lower classes. This past year, with 13 in advanced Seminary classes, and 81 in college classes, there are 55 ministerial students, the largest number in the history of the institution. Also let it be noted that this year we graduate 3 with B.D. degree which is the largest number 64 yet graduated with the advanced degree. Four of the A.B. graduates are going at Qnce into active ministerial service. It would hardly seem from these figures that the interest in ministerial service is on the wane. Curriculum AnalY8i8 A study of the catalogue lIeveals the fact that of the 140 units for the A.B. Qr Ph.B. degree that 20 units of Bible are required as a minimum, which I believe is more than is required by any cQllege in America fQr the bachelor's degree. 20 units of Bible are required in each of the fQllowing majors: History, English, Religious Education, and Philosophy and Religion. Besides, the Bible is the center in many other courses. Then in the Bible major which is the S'horter Seminary Course as now outlined in the new catalogue for 1929-30, 30 units of Bible are required. Before a student can get his B.D. degree he must have at least 32 units of Bible. They generally have moOre. I know of nQ theolQgical SeminalIY in America which requires that much. A student may· elect that much, but I am talking now about minimum requirements .. There has been a noteworthy growth in courses offered in the various departments during the past five years. In 1924-25, 18 hours were offered in Old Testament. Now there are 24 hoUlIs. In the same year in New Testament, 21 hours were offered. Now including the Greek, there are 36 hours. In 1924-25 there were 6 'hours Qffered in philosophy. Now in the enlaJrged department of philosophy and religion, 20 hours are offered... In English formerly there were 12 hours offered. Now 27 hours are possible. In religious education formerly 20 hour,s we!re offered, now 27 are possible. These have been natural and normal developments. They have come partly in response to suggestions from missionaries, some from the ultra-conservative group. This increase of courses has brought about the majOtr and minor plan with its system of electives, which of course is in harmQny with the best standards of academic work. The Work Evangelical A word as to the evangelical character of the institution. In the classroom, in the chapel services, in the daily associations, Christ is always exalted as supreme. I doubt if a finer group of high-minded, consecrated, and thOlIoughly Christian teachers could be found in any institution than the group which we have in UniQn Theological Semi­ nary. The teaching is and has always been evangelical. I believe it is also highly constructive. The dominating purpose that guides the life of the school, is to make "good ministers of Jesus Christ."

MARY JOHNSTON HOSPITAL REBECCA PARISH Mary Johnston Hospital has had a busy, successful year. Gifts and fees added to the support from the United States have made it possible for us to move forward financially. We have made a few im­ provements, having put in a new Irefrigerating and ice-making plant. We have added equipment to the amount of about P1000 which was secured through the gifts of friends. God has supplied all our needs. The parents have come in ever-increasing numbers. The older members of this conference will remember the early days; how the 65 people were fearful, superstitious and prejudiced; how we begged, persuaded and almost forced them to stay; how many times they slipped out of their beds and ran away; how they would take their little children out of the comfortable hospital beds and carry them away, leaving their only hope for recovery. Yet,'we were their fjriends. It took years for us to show them that! But now it is not like that: rather it is the. opposite. Patients come day by day and present themselves with all their needs and sufferings: many a time, too, not seriously sick, but knowing the ad\-antage of early care. Japanese, Chinese and Hindus come, fre­ quently not being able to speak any language we know, yet trusting us implicity. It is like a miracle. . Preachers' wives and families, too, have come as usual being acoorded a welc{)me and the most efficient care we were able to give them. Several new additions have been made to the preachers' families, making us all very happy. But one of the sad things is the lack of room. We used to have to urge people to come, now we have to say practically each day in the yeaa-, "NO ROOM"-and that is a real calamity; after we have educated them with work and prayer and effort, to come, we now have more patients than beds; if only some Filipino philanthropists would come to our rescue! We can keep current expenses going, but cannot compass building projects; the Woman's Board in the United States, has given us nearly -half a million pesos thro the 22 years of our Medical work; they cannot keep on indefinitely-they have 20 other Foreign Hospitals; is there not some local possibility? We hope that the day might come when. we would never again have to say "NO ROOM." The children in the masonic and Childrens' Ward have been a great care, but an indescribable joy to us all the year; what a satis­ faction it. is to see them improve; the Masons have been unable to care for all the little Cripples, since the word has gone out to the ends of the Islands that there is hope f.or the Cripples ; so, as the Masonic Ward has but six beds, the over-flow has gone into the large ward for children, and the work has been great; beds have been pil"ovided for all who Came, who gave any promise of being benefited. The Women, too, have come to us thro the year, with all their needs, and we have been able to help hundreds; our Maternity service has been busy as usual; several of our waa-ds have never been un­ occupied, every "bed being taken practically thro the year; we like this work amongst the Mothers and new babies; and those cared for in the Medical and Surgical departments, have been very numerous and very needy; how frequently, women almost dying, have' come, and with trust have put themselves into our hands. The Dispensary Department has been very active, and as useful as ever; such a never-ending train of sick folks; woun,ds and illnesses, accidents and neglected ailmel\ts, have all been treated; once we esti­ mated that we use 15,000 bandages a year! and a woman who had offered to furnish all the bandages we need, gave it up; too big an order; but when we think of putting on all those bandages, and treat­ ing all those poor needy ones, we are certainly thankful for our Dis­ pensary; then, the Milk Station has given its life-saving service; poor. little wisps of babies, have been given their only hope-proper milk; homes have been visited, and mothers have been encouraged; most of .them have to fight against bad sanitation and crowded condi­ ~ions. The Nurses have again finished a year's busy work and study; a few days ago, 16 fine girls gcr-aduated; we add, to the health program 66 each year, the training and services of a class of as fine students as can be found any where in the Philippines; students have been faith­ ful, the Graduate assistants have been loyal and helpful. Evangelistic efforts have gone forward. Many perso.nal efforts made in the wards, and countless scripture portions given out; tracts, picture cards carrying texts, posters in front of the Hospital read by thousands thro the year, Sunday S'Chool lessons and prayers in the wards, and the sweet strains of the Nurses' morning hymn, have all added to our big program; and one of the secrets is, the quiet prayers and spiritual lessons of those Nurse Pupils. We cannot too strongly voice our thanks for the help given us by a few faithful Filipino doctors; and one other should have personal mention, Maria Magno Alvarez, Mrs. Alvarez has made up monthly statistics regularly for about 14 years, never failing, receiving nothing except our thanks. We thank Tuguegarao, and this Annual CQnfe­ renee for gifts, totalling P86.71. Patients during the year have been as follows; Maternity 627, Medical and Surgical 422, Children 271, New Babies 655., Total 1975; up to Mwrch 1st, date of this report, 10547 New Babies have been born in Qur Hospital; while there have been 3~ nationalities represented. The majority have been little Filipinos who have had a good start in life, 29768 Days' Service have been rendered the past year, and 236'76 Dispensary cases have been treated; 7557 Prescriptions have been filled; 8871 Days' rations have been dispensed by the Milk Station, with an estimated number of 10592 Bottles! Nurses have made 1731 calls, all under the supervision of the Head Nurse on the Dispensary service. March 1st, 1928, the Financial Balance was P8392.59. Receipts thro the year, from alj sources, "Tere P84358.74, totalling P92751.33. A great deal of money you say? Yes, but the expenditures were 1'88249.31 leaving a Balance March 1st, 1929, of P9502.02.

THE PUBLISHING COMMI'TTEE The Publishing Co.mmittee beg to report the following: 1. We recommend that two weeks be set aside, the first week of the month of March and the first week of the month of September, as Literature weeks. During these times a special effort should be made by the pastors in each circuit to. get subscriptions to the church pape,rs, they are required also ,to preach sermons and make personal visits to introduce our periodicals and books to. our members specially, and to the people in general. 2. We Il"equest the Publishing Agent to find ways and means by which books of special value to our preachers can be offered at half the cost, thereby helping our pastors to start a library of their own. That a list a book thus available be sent out to the pastors inviting them to take advantage of these offers. 3. We ask he Board of Religious Education to publish the book "'When we JQin the Church," by Dr. Ryan, in the Ilocano and Pam­ pango dialects. 4. Also the printing in dialects of tracts dealing with the subj~cts of Stewardship, Temperance, Social and Sex Education. 5. We urge all our pa'stors to help the American Bible Suciety and their colpovteurs in the distribution of Bibles and portions in our .communities, and we requests that Society to furnish free of charge .sample copies of Bibles and Testaments flrom which to take orders. 67 We encourage our people in the reading of the Bible, at home for personal edification, and if possible to read the book through, by means of a Chapter a Day method, particularly where English can be used to follow one of the many fine books on daily devotions. 6. For the purpose of accurate keeping of our church ll'ecords of baptisms, marriages, and new members, we recommend that a new and very substantially bound books be prepared; that the district superintendents charge the pastor Cll' some responsible person in the church with this book, giving instructions how to keep it, and that no changes shall be made in it unless it is absolutely and essentially necessary. In every quarterly conference the questions must be asked, "Is the Church Record (Padron) in good order?" An affirmative answ€1I' must be expected each time. , 7. The Committee suggests to the Editor of the Observer that Chaplain Clemens be given a reasonable space for his articles which may help the cause of evangelism. J. F. Jacinto.

BOARD OF RELIGIOUS EDUCATION The Board of Religious Education reports as follows: \Ve record with deep appreciation, the presence and counsel of Dr. Wade CrawfclI'd Barclay, Secretary of Religious Education on the Foreign Field for the Joint Committee of the Board of Foreign Missicns and the Board of Education of the Methodist Episcopal Church. He has been here but a few days, but already he has made a deep impress upon our conference. We be1ieve our missionaries~ pastors, and othe,r workers, have an unusual opportunity offered them in the next two weeks to attend and participate in the two conferences to be held under Dr. Barclay's leadership to consider an enlarged and unified program together with an indigenous curriculum of religious education. With the vast al'lray of information which has come in as a result of the- survey questionaire, these conferences are bound to take on a very significant and practical value. For a good many years the Philippine Council of Religious Edu­ cation has been the clearing house for Methodist religious education problems. It functions effectively in the Methodist field thru secreta­ rial visitation at district conventions and institutes, teacher training promotion, aid in promoting young people's work, daily vacation bible schools, and in improving standards of efficiency in local schools. We appreciate the fact that the Council has been very largely supported by Methodist funds although its executive and adminis­ trative committee is made up inter-denominationally. Representa­ tives from our Methodist Council however function as members of the Philippine Council Executive committee. In view of the fact that Methodism l8Jl'gely supports the present staff and program of the Philippine Council it perhaps is only logical that a considerable por­ tion of the field work should be done in Methodist territory. However, we believe that if an inter-denominational program is to function effectively it should be supported proportionately by the various mission groups. We hope that the time may not be distant when this can be 'realized. Along with an inter-denominational program there are many activities which can best be carried on under direct denominational supervision. This is simply in the interests of efficiency. 68 In connection with our own Methodist work we realize that we all'e direct beneficialries not only of the special support coming from the Board of Education of the Methodist Episcopal Church, but also of the generous aid coming from the World's Sunday School Association and the International Association of Daily Vacation Bible Schools. For all of this financial help we are duly grateful. Without it much of the present progress could never have been realized. We approve the extensive teacher training institute plan carried on under the auspices of the Philippine Council especially during the vacation season last April and May. We urge that this become an annual feature. We rejoice in the splendid work being achieved on behalf of child­ ren as carried on by the W.F.M.S. missionaries, deaconesses, and Bible women. As a Conference Board of Religious Education we would simply raise the question whether it may be possible to bring about a more unified and more closely correlated program in order that the most effective results may be achieved. We take great encouragement in the onward advance of work among young people. We believe there is no field in the Philippines ~hat is more replete with possibilities for development than that among English speaking students, who are increasing with such amaz­ ing rapidity. The remarkable success of our Epworth League Insti­ tutes bears evidence of greater victories yet to be. In the light of the closer unification of young people's w~rk now evidenced in the States in the coordination and centralization of all young people's work undelr one head in the Board of Education; and since the great objective of our program is not to be thought of in terms of organizations but rather in terms of the preservation of spiritual values in human personality; and since also the general progtram of young people's work is growing increasingly complicated so as to demand especia)ly trained and continuous leadership through­ out the Conference year; We recommend the centralization of the organization and program of our Leagues and all young people's work in the Board of Religious Education, with the understanding that a competent and specially trained Metlwdist secretary shall be set apart as young people's director, to work under the supervision of a carefully selected young people's co,mmittee. It may be remarked that this is in line with and incorporates the substance of the memorial which came up froom the Sibul Springs Institute. We further Irecommend that the "Philippine Observer" be recog­ nized as the official organ for young people's work, in other words the Epworth Herald plus, of the Philippines. In line with the implications of this report, and in line with para­ graph 507 of the 1928 discipline, we recommend to the Cabinet, that 24 members, in addition to the Bishop as ex-officia chairman, be appointed to. the Conference Board of Religious Education in lieu of the presenlt three committees on Sunday Schools, Epworth Leagues, and Education, provision being made for these activities in sub-com­ mittees of the Board. In line with the constitutional provision of the Philippine Council of Religious Education for denominational representation, we recom­ mend that Professor I. Panlasigui, be our official Methodist repre­ .sentative on the Executive Committee of said Council. 69 We recommend, in view of the probable development of an en­ larged denominational program of religious education in connection with the Popular Conference to be held ne},.'t week under Dr. Barclay'S counsel and leadership, that authority be given the Board of Religious Education to inaugurate and carry out such program as may seem wise, desirable, and possible.

METHODISM AND THE UNITED CHURCH ADOPTED MARCH 16, 1929. Inasmuch as the question has been asked, "Why do not the Meth­ odists join the United Church Movement," be ,it resolved that we assembled in regular annual session as the Philippine Islands Con­ ference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, do make reply as follows: 1. We want to express our most sincere sympathy for any move­ ment that would bring the evangelical forces into a closern union Qf cooperative efforts. We trust that we have not placed and we hope that we shall never place any obstacle in the way {)f union. This is farthest from our desire. 2. Our Methodist polity and program are such that we find it very difficult to change sufficiently to fit into the present movement in its form of government and creedal statement. OUll' friends tell us that we will unite and afterwards modify the creed and polity to satisfy all concerned. This seems to us illogical and in our judgement will tend to disharmony. In saying this we do not mean to criticize the plan in its relation to the negotiating churches and communions. It may be entirely suitable to them. We feel that for ourselves there should be a larger measure of freedom and elasticity in matters that concern both creed and organization. 3. The United Church movement as yet has little appeal to the large part of the membership of the church. In fact the church at large has little interest in the Evangelical U~ion. They would have less in a United Church especially if it tended to remove established polities with which they are well acquainted, and which as yet they see no neason to change. 4. We believe that self-dilrection and self-propagation without more self-support will not achieve the best success. For many years we have been trying to bring our people to see this. Gradually they are learning. To involve our self-supporting congregations in this new movement would jeopardize our present financial policy. Our entke appropriations to our church from the Board of Foreign Mis­ sions in America would not cover .one half the amount of money needed for our evangelistic work should oUlr self-support program fail. 5. We are anxious for a united church in the Philippines with unity of purpose and adaptibility of organization. But more than a national movement is needed. Aglipay and Zamora both had the patriotic urge to a high degree. More and more Filipinos ame begin­ ning to look beyond their own shores. We feel that there is large value in world connectionalism. We believe this is in accord with the plan of the gospel. Jesus pll'eached international fellowship and world brotherhood. We must avoid any tendency to create cleavages along racial and national lines. 6. We would urge therefore that instead of trying new methods and machinery, we make large and more effective use of the Evangel­ ical Union. If it ,is not adaptable let us replace it with a National 70 Council of Churches even adopting a common name if need be. In this Federation let us be liberal enough to include every evangelical body. Let the members of the Union or Council .observe the terri­ torial agreement, adopt a united program of publications, a comm.on hymnal, and a uniform method of lifting our churches to a self-sup­ porting basis and together advance Ireligoius education and evangelism. To say the least such a program would certainly be an expression of real Christian unity, which is a necessary pre-requisite .of .organic union.

BIBLE WOMAN'S 'TRAINING SCHOOL, LINGAYEN,

MILDRED M. BLAKELY Triple Work. Any c.onsideration of the work doOne by the Staff of the Bible Woman's Training School, naturally covers two distinct phases of Kingdom· Building. The seven months given to actual teaching and training of the new leaders, and the four months given to the districts, serving wherever possible in assisting the District Missionary in her wonderful .oPP.ortunity on the Field. This year a third endeavor has held the heart and that life .of the entire staff all thru the year, the planning and the erecting of the new buildings. This new plant, be­ cause it is a thing that was so long so desperately needed, so earnestly prayed about so long sought after, something into which we all put our finest efforts, and that took planning beyond human wisdom in our efforts to make our appropriation, two fifths .of our estimate) build sufficiently large to meet our present need. The plant has become such a pall1; of our very lives. It has had the best efforts of the entire staff thruout the school year. So it is with gratitude that we recognize the efficient helpfulness of not .only our staff, but also the cooperation committees and architects and the giving of the first large sum of money by Mrs. O. N. Townsend, in whose name the building will be made a memorial, the giving according to his ability of any Filipino friends, the giving by each and every patron in the homeland who has done her part in the erection of the building by supplying cash., the standing fore square behind .this enter­ prise by the Cincinnati Branch, the approval of the plans and per­ mission to build in this hour granted by the Woman's Foreign Mission­ ary Society. COurse of Study. The School year proper has been a very busy one-somewhat irregular due to the illness of teachers, the interrupti.ons due to the building program, the coming and going of workers, but all in a very satisfactory ye8lr. The regular course .of study plus additional work along the line. of Daily Vacation Bible Study and Teacher Training has been carried thru out the year. The present demand on the church leadership requires that both the Daily Vacation Bible School methods and Teacher Training Courses should have special attention and emphasis. The teachers have without exception been most faithful in the selrvice. Where illness has denied one the privilege .of service, an­ other has with willing heart and ready hand taken up the work and carried on nicely till the close of the school year counting it all joy io be of greater usefulness. With the exception of the Junior class, the student body was as usual in number, and all .of an increasing standard in Public School 71 attainment. While we do not make English attainments our first requilrement, other qualifications being more essential in a Dialect school, still we appreciate the background of general understanding and preparation that the seven years in the splendid public school course gives them, and feel that our graduate workers go out to a fuller service and more efficient labor if they have been so fortunate as to secure Intermediate graduation previous to their special training in the Bible School. The graduates, eight in number, have gone forth to service, so eager and ready to work for the Master. What joy it gave us at the two District Conferences to present these fine women to the church, the fruit of years of labor. The coming of Miss Leila V. Dingle to take the place of Miss Mina L. Pletcher on our staff, was a real joy to us. She comes with splendid educational qualifications with special Bible Training, with years of business experience behind her, with good health, with fine consecrati()n, and a beautiful· spirit. '. We rejoice with Miss Pletcher that the days of travel are bringing new visions ()f service, new .desires for the work, new powers thru good health. We trust that a very restful vacation may be hers, that school days may give her joy in study, and that soon she may be with us again. With the ever enlarging task of training Bible Women, we must be ready to release in a measure the Tr.aining school staff of much of the work they have formerly done on the dhltrict, depending more fully upon the destined workers to carryon there. This neces­ sitates closer supervision and with the increasing numbers of workers on these two big districts. We rejoice with the Mother Society in her plans for the celebra­ tion of oUir sixtieth anniversary. Each class room, every student, most of the Alumnae has s<>me part in the preparation of the exhibit that went forth representing our love gift. ' Under the supervision of Miss A. Armenia Thompson, these gifts were placed on display at the school, the general public invited and the gifts enjoyed by all before they were sent to the U.S.A. Miss Thompson, being a member of the Kinderga;rten Committee, has taken direct supervision of the newly established kindergarten in the Lingayen church. Miss Marcela Cansino, a fine kindergarten graduate, has been in charge, and together they have had a most successful year. With the properly ,trained leadership, these kinder­ gartens could be opened in un-numbered centers. It seems that there is unlimited opportunities for a self-supporting religious-educational work am()ng our people right in this line. w.e. T.U. The school has maintained her usual high standard in member­ ship in the Woman's Christian Temperance Union. Rev. M. Southard has been with us for two short visits. Our membership in the Red Cross organization has again held its one hundred percent. We would express our appreciation of the WOtl'k that the Red Cross dentists have done for our school girls. Miss Isabel Garcia in her splendid dormitory has not only served the High School but has given a home to our own staff in these days of building when we had no place to adequately care for them. Miss Garcia is to be highly congratulated in all lines of service. The local church has been served most efficiently thru the efforts of our teachers, in Sunday School, in Barrio services, in Epworth League, in their participation in the English Service. We appreciate the efforts of Rev. E. Fernandez as supply pastor and congratulate 72 him in being willing to undertake such a gigantic task. In the absence of Rev. Cipriano Navarro, the great student body has been sadlY neglected, we rejoice that he is with us again after most profitable months spent in the U. S. A. and we all stand ready to help him in one of the greatest opportunities among young folk to be found in the P. I. District work this year, as carried by our staff, has suffered a loss as did the school work in that Miss Feliza de Vera and Miss Marcela Fausto because of illness have not been abble to go to the field. After weeks in the MRIl"Y Johnston Hospital they have returned to their home, or gone to the hills of Baguio, where we hope they may both be so restored as to take up the work again in May in the school. Miss Thompson and Miss Casipit have been giving special attention to the work on Pangasinan, Miss Lucas to that of Tarlac District, the latter having in charge the Candidate work, while all three have been making a new endeavor in Local Selfsupport. We trust that this special effort in teaching on the subject of giving may bring a three­ fold harvest, that greater willingness to give to all departments of the church work may be evident, that the school may become a greater reality and a closer part of the life and interest of every lay member, that every person touched may more truly understand that he giveth back to the Lord, what the Lord has given thin. We all appreciate the work of Rev. S. Cordero, for his efficiency in carn-ying on the work of the District Superintendent. The dialect barrier has been a very trying mountain of difficulty, but which courage and faith he has carried on and has been an example of what we all should be under impossible loads. Our hearts are encouraged by the return of Rev. B. O. Peterson. We give thanks for the gift of the new plant, we rejoice in the possibilities of better service thru the school and ultimately thru every graduate that goes from our doors. Safe quarters, less crowded conditions, houlrs formerly spent in repair now given to character building, all this bespeaks a hetter day for the Bible Woman's Train­ ing School of Lingayen. "Delight thyself in the Lord and he will give thee the desires of thine heart. Commit thy way unto. the Lord, trust also in him and he will bring it to pass". It stands as a monument to the prayer life of a host of faithful souls. From fil'lst to last the workmen have built it as to Him. May it ever serve Him.

LEGAL REPORT E. S. LYONS In 1907, the Methodist Mission purchased at public sale from the city of Baguio, 10 acres of land lying north of the market in the city of Baguio, and adjacent to the 'Constabulary property, receiving a Government patent therefor. After ten years of peaceful possession in which the Mission paid tI'egular and special taxes to the city of Baguio, a suit was filed by one Adela Aguinaldo for the registry of the Constabulary Hill including the larger part of the Methodist tract. After years of litigation, the claimant prevailed in the courts and the Methodists lost all but 2,000.00 meters of the land so purchased. A claim was promptly made against the Insular Government, but no suit could be filed for the redress of this injury without the con­ sent of the Government. The claim was at the point of being adjusted on several occasions, but was finally left over by Gen. Wo.od to his successor. 73 While I was away, this matter came up in the court, and was put over until my return. In April, a conference was arranged with Governor Stimson and after investigation, he ruled that the only thing the Government would do was to return to us our cost and charges on the portion lost. As the remaining. portion of the lot could not be used for the Mission purposes, a settlement was finally reached which icluded the surrender of our interests to the city of Baguio and the .receipt of a cash payment in full settlement of the Mission's claim. A second matter receiving immediate attention on my arrival was the securing of the licenses for the members of the Methodist Con­ ference, enabling them to perform wedding ceremonies under the New Law. A third matter which became urgent the new grant of authority to municipalities to tax, was an effort on the part of several to tax Meth~dist dormitories. Prospective suits were looming in Tuguegarao, Vigan and Cabanatuan, Nueva Ecija. Demands for payment had been served. After ptreparation of a memorandum and presentation to the Executive Secretary, an opinion of the Attorney General was received which resulted in declaring all Methodist dormitories as now being conducted exempt from taxation. San Fernando, Pampanga, was the place where the Missions, under the inspiration of the Centen3Jry invested 1'53,000.00 in the Boys' Dormitory and 1'45,000.00 in a like institution for girls. Both these two institutions have been highly useful, being filled most of the. time with high-grade young people from the homes of the best families in Pampanga. Upon my return, I found that plans were underway to move the present High School a kilometer away from the present site, thus endange1ring the usefulness of both our dor­ mitories. Realizing that we could build cheaper buildings today than when the present properties were constructed, under order of the Finance Committee and that of the Woman's Society, negotiations were undertaken for the purchase of two propetrties across the road from the new High School site and after several conferences, title deeds were secured for two plots of P4,000.00 meters each, which we now hold as future sites for dormitory purposes. 'The new High School building is -underway and will cost P350,000.00. Correspondence was promptly undertaken to secure from the legal heirs of Miss Elizabeth Parkes consent to carry out her wishes as seth forth· in the decl3lration she' left regarding the distribution of her estate and which, if secured, will ultimately give P1500.00 to Bacolor Church, after paying specified amounts to the legal heirs. Adjustment of the J. M. Schraff claim for the dormitory pt:operty held by his estate in Lingayen is now underway and it is hoped such will be completed as soon as the Deed of Conveyance to the trustees of the Mission has been received fll"om Mrs. Scharff. One trip was made to Vigan under direction of the Finance Com­ mittee to fix upon the proposed changes to be made on the Methodist Mission house and Boy's Dormitory, so as to make them usable for a Girls' Dormitory under the control of the Woman's Foreign Mission­ ary Society during the coming year. In the year 19 .. , Manes Panganiban died in a hospital in San Francisco. On his death-bed he left an estate to the Methodist Epis­ copal Church in the Philippine Islands. The copy of the Will showed the name of Bishop W. F. Oldham had been erased and the name of the Methodist Church inserted in pencil, but the chane'e was not initiated nor was the document properly attested. The grant was for property on the plaza in Solano, and some rice-fields outside the 74 city. An heilr contested the· Mission's title in litigation pending my arrival in the Islands. We doubt success in this contest. When agreement was reached with the Christian Mis~ion for an exchange of territories so as to give the Methodist Church free hand in the Cagayan, property was exchanged which gave the Methodist P8,200.00 in money. As the Elsie Fisher Memorial was included in the exchange, the cash received was oredited to the Elsie Fisher Me­ morial on the Mission books. It was then proposed to build this memorial in Sta. Maria, but the Sta. Maria chapel site was insuf­ ficient. Just recently, on a trip to Vigan, I succeeded in closing a purchase of 1500 meters located near the presidencia, off the Pro­ vincial Road, which will make a suitable site for the memorial, a site for d()ll'mitory purposes and on which is a small house that may with some repairs be suitable for a parsonage. The money for this memo­ rial is now 0 deposit a waiting approved plans and the completion of a chapel building. While Dagupan is the logical center for missionary enterprise in Pangasinan, the Mission house in that city has been Il'ented for fifteen years. The building, fOlr lack of a missionary family for that station, has fallen into bad repair. In 1927, the Field Finance Committee requested permission to sell the Dagupan house and which consent was recently secured. On December 31, 1928, transaction for the sale of the house was completed and part payment received. Since early after my return to the Islands, negotiations ha\'e been underway with different individualrs for the sale of one-half the San Juan tract. ' On November 80, 1928, a preliminary contract was signed with. the Radio Corporation of America for the purchase of approximately one-half of the tract ~t P.50 a meter and after some delay, on February 1st, I succeeded in seg'lregating the desired portion from the rest and completing the sale of that portion. In the year 1921, the Methodist Mission purchased 800 meters of land on the plaza of Cabanatuan. In 1924, the city of Cabanatuan made a new road along the plaza which took the larger part of the Methodist lot. After extended negotiations, we have succeeded in reaching an exchange of properties witb the plrovince, that gave us a new site on the plaza containing 1000 meters and facing the High School, in exchange for the lot so taken by the province. Court hearings have been had in Bayombong, Nueva Vizcaya on two cases, and an agreement reached with Pedro Inaldo for possession of one of the Church lots on the provincial road and which lot Mr. Inaldo claims he pUil'chased in 1919 from a local Methodist preacher for a sum of P80.00. . Claims for Methodist Church property had been filed in two cases in the Dagupan Cadastral and in two cases in Iba. Petitions for registration had been prepared in two new cases in Ilagan, Isabela. Two certificates in the name of the Mission have been received from the municipality of Paniqui, foil' one lot in Bayombong, Nueva Vizcaya and for one in the Barrio of Porac, Pampanga. In the case of the Porac cadastral, proofs have been made and we are waiting for the issuance of a certificate. This is also true of the San Fernando Mis­ sions House and Church plroperty. The Tondo Church case has been checked up, encroachments by the Jacinto heirs adjusted, and stipulations signed, settling a part of property with the owner of the theatre back of the Church lot. We shall receive a title for this lot as soon as a day of hearing can be arranged. Cases for immediate attention a,re those involving our lot at Quezon, Nueva Ecija, one lot in Solano, Nueva Vizcaya,- the Boy's Dormitory in Manila and the American ·Bible Society pr<>perty boundary. ·75 Since returning, I have drawn seven "Wills" for missionaries; have had many consultations from members and f,riends of the Church, and have dispensed free counsel to the preachers and members regard­ ing the marriage ceremony and other matters both civil and political.

METHODIST PUBLISHING HOUSE

E. S. LYONS, Agent We think the past year has been the best in the history of the Methodist Publishing House. A study of the balance sheet will show the total amount of business for 1928 to be P72,330.00 or an increase of P4,000.00 over 1927. 'The value of work done in the Printing De­ partment has increased about P5,000.00, while the business done in the Store was about Pl,OOO.OO less than that of the previous year. The profit in the Printing Department shows a gain of P8,000.00 over 1927 after deducting a monthly rental of P275 charged against printing of that year, and which rental we are also charging against the Printing Department for 1929. The Book Store showed a deficit of P400.00 in 1927 and a profit of P1400.00 this year, making a total gain in the income of the store of approximately P1800.00 in 1928. The current liabilities on November 30, 1928 were P4,500.00 less than they were on the same date last year~ Loans due for money on deposit with the institution we,re reduced P1,000.00 in 1928, while the debit of P5,558.00 at the Hongkong Bank for improvements on build- ing was entirely paid off. . More than P10,000.00 in rents were collected in 1927 but some of this rental must have found its way into stock and in the new press purchased in the early part of'that year. Much attention has been given to a careful listing of the stock in the store, and to the matter of overhead expenses in both the Printing and the &tore Departments. A new Department of Binding has been created that we may keep a check on· the work of that kind being done. Several changes have been made for the purposes of reducing overhead expenses and we believe that in the next twelve months, we shall make a substantial reduction in the indebtedness aga41st the property. Weare glad to report another step toward making the Publishing House a real useful missionary agency. The Board of Foreign Mis­ sions has confirmed our plan, that when the indebtedness on the pro­ perty is finally retired that lh of the available fund,s from the build­ ing and the business may be devoted to a program of the Conference for the production and distribution of literature. The other half is to be kept intact, safely invested and the income therefrom devoted to allowances for retired Methodist preachers under the provisions of the Discipline. I quote from the resolution adopted by the Board Executive Com- mittee: . "That appreciation be expressed for the steady reduction of the indebtedness on the Methodist Publishing House building, and that approval be given to the plan proposed, viz., that ·after the total in­ debtedness is fully paid, fifty per cent. of the net proceeds of. the rentals from the building and from the business be applied to the retirement fund of the pastors of the Philippine Islands Conference, and .fifty per cent. to the production and distribution of Christian 76 literature in the Philippine Islands, and that the plan for the pro­ duction and distribution of such literature be submitted to the Board for approval." We think the past year is the best for the reason that the value of our religious printing is fast approaching in total the value of· the commercial printing which we are doing, and we shall not be satisfied until the value. of the religious printing shall greatly exceed that of all other kind of work that the Printing Department shall do. During the past year, we have issued monthly the Philippine Observer, and the Mabuting Balita(in the dialect). We have printed the bimonthly Philippine Presbyterian and the Journal of ReligiOUS Education. We have made our usual donation of P2,000.00 to the Periodical Account, but notwithstanding this grant the deficit in the account is steadily increasing, and oil March 1st, stood a total of P7,221.40. Some adjustment of this account must promptly be made in the best interest of our literature program and in justice to the Publishing House. We have also twice printed and distributed- in the Tagalog dialect the Senior, Junior and Primwry Sunday School Journals. In addition to these, we have printed 5,000 New Testaments in Tagalog, 2,300 Ilocano Old Testaments, 5,000 !locano New Testaments, 1,900 Pampangan New Testaments, 5,000 Samar New Testaments, 2,500 Pampangan Old Testaments and 750 Panayan New Testaments. We have also printed Bible portions as follows: 10,000 Bicolano, 5,000 Samarino, 5,000 Cebuan, 5,000 Tagalog Exodus, 3,000 Pampangan Book of Acts. There has also been completed 21,400 pocket portions in Tagalog, and 10,000 Bicol Portions, pocket size. Practically all of the Bibles and Testaments which we have printed this year were bound in our Binding Depwrtment. We have published during the year 3,000 of the Ilocano Hymn Book and 2,000 edition of the Tagalog Hymn Book. One feature of the value of our work in the Methodist Publishing House that is not understood by many of our pastors and the mission­ aries is that we print these song books and other literatwre of the Conference and Mission without any grant or subsdiy of any kind, putting the entire cost of them into the stock and labor and it is not infrequently that some years pass before we recover even the cost of these books from their sales. If the Mission or the Conference was to have this wOO'k done outside, it must of necessity put down the cash within 30 or -60 days after publication. This would make their issuance practically impossible, for at no time since I have been in this field has the Mission had available money for the printing of such needed literature. Another feature which is not appreciated by our pastors and missionaries is that many of them have purchased material from our stol'e and had work done in the Printing Department for which they have not been required to pay cash. This is a privilege which is often abused and it is perfectly obvious that to enable the business to con­ tinue, there must be a limitation to such practice. Now that each pastor has an interest in the future income ol this establishment, one that does away with the necessity of life in­ sUJrance, we earnestly hope that a strong effort will be made to pay the reduced prices which are charged for the purchases made from our Store and Printing Department, that they will not abuse and impoverish the institution which will some day respond for the help­ fulness of their families in case they fall in the service, Oir need a suitable allowance when retired from active work in the Conference. 77 Weare trying to make this institution a really helpful agency to our pastors and our member·s. To do so, we aim to keep down our prices in both departments and to make the building yield the needed income for extra literature and for the retirement fund we plan to establish. It will be remembered that we have in stock, communion sets, chapel bells, portable organs, forms for marriage services, Church phonograph records, books in English and Spanish and in dialect, song-books in English and the dialects, an assortment of good liter­ ature for children, young people and older ones. We shall try to do your printing for the cost plus a sufficient margin to pay the over­ head expense and a small margin to cover wear and tear on our machinery. We ask in return that you will cooperate with us in pay­ ing your bills to the Publishing House and in helping us to carry out the plan which we have built up for your advantage and for that of the members' of Ou!!' churches throughout the Islands. We wish to express our appreciation of the very fine way in which Dr. Peterson and his associates in the Store and in the Printing Department carried on the business while I was away. We are indeed fortunate in having secured the services of Mir. Wightman to take care of the Printing Department. His knowledge of book-binding and his former relation with the Bible Society has helped us to do the satisfactory work in connection with the Printing and issuance of the Bibles we have completed. Mr. ·Wightman has made many friends for the Printing Department. Words fail to express my appreciation of the faithful and efficient work done by those who have been associated with me in the Publish­ ing House during my service in the institution since March. If we continue in our present relationship, I feel assured we shall be able to serve the public in a more satisfactory and efficient way during this coming year. . I shall follow this report with an abridged form of our annual balance sheet. (See page 82)

TREASURER'S REPORT E. S. LYONS It will be remembered that the Mission receives and spends its money for two purposes: First, in support of work carried on under the direction of the Mission, for insurance taxes and other recurring charges; second, for sites, for churches and chapels, for paJrsonages, dormitories and cemeteries, and which items are classed as non­ recurring. During the Centenary enthusiasm, grants of money for both pur­ poses arose to be more than twice as much as had been given to such items for some years previous. Since then, these gifts have gradually fallen off until now we receive just about as much as we did at the beginning of the period mentioned~ For example, at one time we had fifteen missionary families on the field and now we have but seven, three of whom are leaving on fUll'lough at this Conference. In our mid-year meeting of the Field Finance Committee, with five Filipino members present, the following action was taken: "While we are unanimously in favor of F'ilipinizing the districts as rapidly as possible, after a full and frank discussion of the ques­ tion, we are of the opinion that there was never a greater or more inviting opportunity for missionary service than now; that there 78 should be one missionary in every district Filipinized, so that at least one man might be free to supplement the work of pastors in Evan­ gelistic effort; to extend and maintain the pfI'ogram of self-support among the people, and to enter the most promising and urgent field of effort among the English-speaking students in every provincial center where we are at work." In response to this appeal, the Board of Foreign Missions gener­ ously increased oUll" missionary allowance P3,000.00, but owing to the number of furloughs to be taken this year and the great decrease in special gifts for our work now being carried on, there is 1ittle hope of more than two missionaries returning to this field in 1929. In :regard to our budget for 1928, an examination of the balance sheet shows that we began the year with a bank overdraft of P14,958.87 and we closed the year with a credit of P6,377.32. The books further show that in the Re-distribution of 1928, an item of P3,051.94, known as the Mission Periodical Account, was not included in the Re-distribution for that year. The books also show that at the beginning of the year, there was an overdraft of P3,574.6.2 in the Restore Cut account, making a total debit in the recurring b)1dget of P6,626.56, and which debits we have included in our adjust­ ment of the 1928 budget. We closed the recurring budget of 1928 with a deficit of P2500.0Q which indicates that we have made a gain on 1928 expenses of con­ siderable amount. One depressing condition which we have had to meet each year for the past ten years has been the taking of appropriation funds to pay interest on emergency obligations that have arisen since the Centenary movement began: I.-Interest on an item of P20,000.00 bOO'rowed for the purposes of retiring the interest of the Christian and United Brethren Missions in the San Juan tract, purchased in 1920 as a proposed site for a Union Christian College. 2.-An emergency debit of P45,000.00 made necessary when the Governor General refused to extend our use of the site on Gral. Luna where our three missionary houses and the Central Church were then standing. The cancellation of the agreed privilege to lease the ground to the Mission until the Goverment needed the same, compelled us to move our buildings at the cost mentioned and but P10,000.00 of the amount was returned to us by the BoalI'd; we have paid interest on P35,00.0.00 much of the time since June 1924. 3.-Another interest-bearing obligation amounting to P8,300.00 developed in 1924 through the discovery that the so called Martinique Fund given to the Mission for medical work in 1906 should in fact go to the Mary Johnston Hospital. This item, with P2,000.00 sub­ sequently received from Dr. Norton's estate, made a total of P10,300.00 on which we have been paying interest. 4.-A further item was the Superannuate Fund amounting to P13,641.00 on which we were ordered to pay interest, but never have had sufficient money with which to retire this obligation from the treasury. 5.-There was a further sum of P10,000.00 due to a missionary in China and P4,000.00 to a missionary in the . Philippines, money which had been deposited with the treasury during the emergency period, to help our account with the Bank. On these sums, we have been paying Bank interest until now. The items referred to, make a total of P92,941.00 and have been our interest-bearing obligations. • 79 Upon my return to the Philippine Islands, I promptly undertook to settle the long-drawn out claim of the Mission against the city of Bagnio. The claim involved an equity in 9% acres lying just back of the mRirket. We still retained a narrow strip of 2,000.00 meters lying along the road-way leading west from the market. After several conferences, an adjustment was reached in which we deeded our lot to the city and received in cash approximately P15,000.00 in settlement of our claim. . . Under instructions from the Board, negotiations were begun in June, for a sale of % of the San Juan tract purchased in 1920, as a site for a proposed Union Christian College. Late in November, a preliminary contract was signed, selling 260,000.00 meters of the tract at P.50 a meter, but not until February 1st did we receive the down­ payment of 1'75,000.00. This sum, together with the PI5,000.00 prev­ iously received, made a total of 1'90,000.00 and which fund, on (recom­ mendation of a committee on payments previously appointed by the Finance Committee, I promptly paid the items mentioned on the above list, thus stopping the payment of interest from February 1st of this year. In addition to the payment of several sums mentioned, I have withdrawn from the treasury the further sum of P9,569.37 and which amount includes the Elsie Fisher Memorial fund of 1'3,941.49 and the Wood Memorial of P5,626.88. It will be remembered that the Elsie Fisher Memorial fund represents cash paid to us by the Christian Mission in its settlement with our Mission for the Elsie Fisher Memo­ rial properties in Abra twrned over over to the said Mission. The Wood Memorial is a sum of money raised by the people of Wamego, Kansas, for a memorial to Mr. Wood of that city. Both these. projects have been awaiting suitable sites on which to locate them. This im­ pediment has been removed in the case of the Elsie Fisher Memorial by a purchase ()f 1,500.00 sq. meters in Sta. Maria, which will adeq­ uately accommodate the church, d()rmitory and parsonage. The High School site in Vigan has at last been agreed upon and this will enable us to proceed with the building of the Wood Memorial. It will be noted that there is to be further paid in the next two years, under the terms of the sale of the San Juan tract, a sum of P27,500.00 with interest, payable one year from February 1st and a like sum payable tW() years ftrom February 1st. these two sums to bear 7 % interest until paid. In addition to the above sale, we have also completed a sale of the Dagupan Mission house with consent ()f the Board, and have re­ ceived a down-payment of 1'3,200.00. 'There is P6,000.00 yet ·to be received on account of this property at the rate of P2,(}00.OO each year until the amount is paid, together with seven per cent interest thereon. The Board of Foreign Missions has Il"equested that a report be made of the proposed use of the funds from the Baguio settlement and the two sales mentioned. As a basis for this report, attention is invited to the following list of credits now standing on the books of the treasury. (not printed) A· further examination of the balance sheet on December 31st, 1928, discloses two other credit items of considerable size: one of P32,705.79 for the Methodist ~oys' Dormitory in Manila, and the other of PI9,572.22 for the Nicholson Bible Seminary. There is no imme­ diate need for any use of the dormitory credit, but the Nicholson Bible Seminary credit should be withdrawn from the Mission at an early date, and the money invested so that the income will be avail­ able for aiding the regular Seminary fund. As our contribution to the Union Seminary building was more than double than that required under our arrangement, we are now at liberty to invest the Nicholson Seminary (fnd and use the income for the pUll"poses mentioned. 80 The credits in the list represent gifts sent to the field for par­ ticular projects and these projects have not been completed be­ cause certain other projects received the available funds. The debits represent expenditures of money largely made under the impression that Centenary funds would shortly be made available for them as as for the credit items, but no funds have yet been sent out to meet these various debit items. It is apparent that the debit of P38,731.36 for the San Fernando Boys' Dormitory constitute by far the largest expenditures so made and with the San Juan purchase as the proposed Union Christian College site, make a total of P128,731 of the so called Centenary debit items. With the sale of approxi­ mately % of the San Juan tract, that account has practically paid out. Whatever may be the future of the San Fernando Boys' Dormi­ tory project, it is obvious that the use of all available funds from every source should be held for the purposes of making available money with which to meet all credit items for particular p1rojects now standing on our books. E. S. Lyons, Treasurer.
