PART I.

ON THE KING’S HIGH WAY.

STUDIES IN THE CALL OF THE OPEN ROAD.

HERE are few travellers who have not felt the spell and wonder of the Road that runs tirelessly on from town to town, through valley and forest3 over fen and moorland, with a silent, haunt­ T ing persistence which seems to give it an intelligence of its own. White in the sun at noon, it is shrouded but not hidden by the night, and laughs with a new triumph in the glow of dawn. The traveller hastens and the traveller rests, but the Road that neither hastens nor rests is waiting for him when the morning breaks. He may leave it for a time, but he may not forget i t ; and he must return at last from the meadow of rest to the Road that calls him with the voice of challenge. A young poet of the war left his best message to his fellow men in three lines : “ Far beyond the city gate The fallow fields eternal wait Where you may plough your furrow straight.”

The fallow fields are a challenge to the plough, but beyond the gate there is also a King’s High Way which has an eternal challenge for the human heart. From a place called Bethlehem it comes down through the years to our City of To-day, where it is often lost for a time in the multitude and the tumult, the hazards and cares of life and toil. But when we lift our eyes we shall see it again, shadowed yet shining, overhung with mists yet golden with the rainbow of promise. And when our hearts are strong we catch the gleam of the far-away towers and pinnacles of the Great City that we are called to build in this troubled world.

5 <5 ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-SECOND ANNtJAT, REPORT. fl924.

For the King’s High Way is the Road to the Kingdom of God. We see it in the King’s purposes and promises, we«see it in human need and human opportunity, in the task accomplished and the task not yet attempted; there at our feet it lies, always before us, with the challenge that becomes more urgent with every passing year. And away among its shadows moves One of kingly mien, robed in purple and crowned with thorn. In the dust of the road we see His footprints clear. There is a stain upon them as of blood, but they have a light also that seems to shine out in mingled guidance and appeal. What have we answered in this past year, through our beloved Society, to the challenge of the King’s High Way ? How far have we helped our fellow men of this troubled world towards the City of the Kingdom ? What joy have we given that Leader Whose footprints we claim to follow ? Let these reoords speak.

GOLD AND SILVER FOR THE KING’S

HIGH W A Y .

N every direction the road opens out before us, but ere we venture onwards we must pay our reckoning for the way we have come, and put money in our purse for the next stage of the journey. I To pay as we go is one of the rules of the road. How, then, do we stand in our finances ? Much better than we feared, though not so well as we had hoped. Only by using the whole of the unallotted legacies of the year, part of which in ordinary times would have been reserved for future contingencies, can we pay our way. The industrial and commercial unsettlement of the time is the only justification of this action, and the Committee take it under a grave sense of responsibility. Happily the amount of the year’s legacies is much above the average, and the relief is correspondingly large. For the General Fund, £21,873 is at our disposal; for the Women’s Fund, £3,978 ; for the Medical Fund, £1,135 ; and for the Bible Translation and Literature Fund, £2,245— a total of £29,231. We cannot be too grateful that in this time of emergency so much is available, but we rejoice with trembling. Not only do we miss the friends who have left us these large sums, but we are fully aware that we cannot count on such phenomenal help in future years. The journey ahead must be planned on another basis, or the provision for it must be on a more ample scale. 1924.] ON THE KING’S HIOH WAY. 7

Apart from legacies the actual deficits were :—on the General Fund, £20,415 ; on the W.M.A., £6,912 ; on the M.M.A., £1,950; on the B.T.L.A., £4,486, making a total deficiency of £33,763. As it is there is an aggregate deficit of £4,532. The Women’s Missionary Association, which has sent out so many new workers during the year, though it thankfully records an increase of £3,546 in income, has a deficit of £2,934 ; the Medical Mission Auxiliary, which has received £2,711 more this year than last year, a deficit of £815 ; and the General Fund, which has also taken over the adverse balance of the Bible Translation and Literature Auxiliary, a deficit of £783. A united statement is made of the position in the confident expecta­ tion that during the month of May this deficit of £4,532 will be met by those to whom this work of God is dear, and who but wait to know the extent of the need in order to meet it. Contributions will be allotted in proportion to the deficits in the various departments of the work. Already a few friends in more immediate touch with the work have promised £1,100. It now but remains for the supporters of the B.M.S. all over the country enthusiastically and promptly to meet the remainder. Nothing will hearten the missionaries on the field more than a speedy response. The total income during the year from home sources, excluding legacies, but including sums given for special objects, has been £140,067, divided as follows :— £ The B.M.S. General F u n d ...... 83,967 The Women’s Missionary Association - - * 27,788 The Medical Mission Auxiliary .... 26,626 The Bible Translation Society .... 1,686 The total expenditure for the year from home sources has been £209,344, divided as follows :— £ The B.M.S.

The complete statement will be presented at the Annual Meeting at Cardiff, on Wednesday afternoon, May 7th. NOTE—At the time of preparing this Report the Deficit has been reduced to £1,000—Editor.

INDIA.

ILLIAM CAREY’S first missionary plans were coloured by Captain Cook’s stories of bis voyages in tbe South Seas ; but when the Road was opened to him, he found that it W stretched away through the plains of Bengal. Nor did he doubt that this was for him the King’s High Way, for he had learned that there is no dwelling-place of man from which the Road may not be followed. He took the Road over the plains, his heart always strong, his vision always clear for the footprints of the Master; and the men who have his task to-day are no less keen of vision, no less ambitious in their plans, no less conscious of the challenge of the great High Way that beckons from the need of India to the beauty of the King’s City. The way is not always a High Way of romance and adventure. There are days of toil in the ruts and the dust, with weary feet and soiled garments, when little progress is registered, and when the shining pinnacles are lost in the distance. It is thus with life in many old-estabb’shed stations, where work has become a familiar formula, where to-day seems but a repetition of yesterday, and where the missionary sits down to write his Annual Report with the consciousness that he has no stirring trophy to offer to those who sent him. But he has no doubt that he is on the King’s High Way, for in some simple word of a village worker he has had assurance, in some worn and dusky face he has seen the light that never was on land or sea : and then he remembers that the Footprints lead on through dust and toil, and that the King’s High^Way is not measured by human measures of days and weeks. In the spring we welcomed home those who had been to India to survey the work. They were privileged to tell their story at the Spring Anniversaries last year, and it has since been issued in printed form: and while it deals naturally with much of the detail of method and administration, it glows with the spirit of the great enterprise— the spirit of devotion, sacrifice, and faith. “ I thank God for our Missionary staff, their loyalty and devotion,” writes Miss Lockhart, “ and in all humility pray that we in the home field may be worthy of these our messengers.” And throughout the Report, which touches almost every station where our Society is at work, we have a record of unflinching loyalty, faithful labour in face of crowding difficulties, 11 b 2 12 ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT. [1924. unfaltering patience, and serene confidence in tlie cause and the Leader. At the United Conference held at Calcutta in December one of the speakers was Mr. Herbert Anderson, the retiring Indian Secre­ tary, who has since, after some months spent in England, declared his intention of returning to India. He will hold himself at the disposal of the Society for work at any point on the King’s High Way where his services may be used to the best advantage. It was at this Con­ ference that Mr. Anderson voiced the feelings of all when in his opening paper he described the Mission as “ a soul-winning agency first and last.” And that phrase reveals the unalterable purpose of the man, his fellow workers, and the great organisation in which they labour. At Udayagiri, in the Kond Hills, on the 19th of January, was set a landmark on the King’s High Way by the opening of the first Christian Church in the district, eight years after the baptism of the first converts. It was the fruit of the labour of two years, the Christians themselves having cut down the jungle trees for burning bricks and lime, dug the foundations, and worked week by week on the site. The Church stands exactly where an old drink-shop once stood, and within a stone’s throw of the ancient Hill of Human Sacrifice ; and it is surely true that at this point, the door of the open church, the worker may stand, filled with gratitude and praise as he looks back upon the story of the Kond Hills Mission, and thinks of Long, Wilkinson, and others who gave their lives in the opening of the Way. But from the door of the little church the Road winds onward still, and once more we accept its challenge. Among the interesting adjustments of the work in these regions may be mentioned the transfer of the work at Kharar to the American Presbyterian Mission—comrades of the great enterprise. At Kharar our isolated work extended to within six miles of Umballa, and was only two and a half miles from another of the Presbyterian stations. For many reasons the transfer was advisable ; and it meant no retreat, but rather advance, for the Christian forces in the district. The W.M.A. has withdrawn its staff from Berhampore and transferred them to newer stations ; and some advance has been made in Cuttack in the same direction, two W.M.A. missionaries having gone to other stations where the need seemed greater, leaving their work to be cared for by the Cuttack Christians. Our roots are widely spread in Cuttack, but the gradual withdrawal from work which the church can do is the accepted line of action. The Bengal reports show less definite change of this kind, but they indicate a real movement in the way of leaving evangelistic and school work to the church in such old fields as Barisal, Khulna, and the South Villages. During'the year we at home had the opportunity of meeting a dis­ tinguished Indian fellow-worker, the Rev. Joel Waiz Lall, M.A., M.O.L., 1924.] INDIA. 13 of Delhi, who came to Europe to attend the Stockholm Congress, and preached in a number of our churches. Such visits as these reveal the distance travelled in the course of years, and strengthen the bonds of fellowship between ourselves and our Indian fellow workers. Similar results must arise from visits paid to India by our Home leaders, and much interest was felt in the visit of Mr. Herbert Marnham, the Treasurer of the Baptist Union, who has now returned home after a tour which included several of our Indian Mission stations. Politically the year in India has been characterised by the same outward quietness of which the last report told, but big things have been taking place. On every hand workers have gone on with their Christian witness, and, in a good many cases, so far from being hindered, have found an increased interest in their message. Those who work among students have been greatly cheered by the large attendances, not only at popular lectures, but at Bible classes where the Gospel of Christ has been expounded. An interesting educational development relates to Delhi, where it is proposed that the B.M.S. and the Cambridge Mission of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel shall co-operate in a High School for Boys. Plans have already been prepared for new buildings on a portion of the B.M.S. land which will be definitely allotted for joint use. The institution proposed will be a Christian Public School under Baptist and Anglican auspices, a natural development of the co­ operation in educational work which has now been for some years a happy feature of our mission at Delhi. The most cheering work of recent years in India is that in the South Lushai Hills, a work so fruitful that it recalls the brightest dream of some of Christ’s greatest ambassadors—the dream of a whole nation becoming Christian. In Lushailand the people have welcomed the Gospel with open hearts, whole villages have become Christian, and this last year has shown no check to the story of success. There were 736 baptisms, so that the total church membership is 2,773, with a Christian community over 8,000 strong in a population of 26,000. It is with great joy that we see God’s High Way open out among the people of the Hills.

BENGAL.

BARISAL.

At Barisal the year has marked a definite step towards the transfer of church matters from the control of the Mission to the church, and coincident with this there have been encouraging signs of independent thinking and effort. 14 ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT. [1924

The Superintending Missionary, who had ceased to be ex-officio chairman of the Church Council in 1917, ceased to hold the office of President this year, and was elected in the usual way as a member of the Council. The Mission grant for primary schools was placed at the disposal of the Church Council and the whole amount allocated by it. The Local Church Union, at its Annual Assembly, adopted a scheme for the establishment of a Christian High School in some central position in the district. It is believed that the Churches themselves will be able to run an efficient Christian High School, and the church leaders hope to have a complete scheme ready in the near future. A W.M.A. Biblewoman has been working among women in the Christian villages under the direction of the Church Council. An Association of Primary School Teachers has been formed by them­ selves for conference, mutual encouragement and instruction. Three quarterly meetings have been held, and there has been a good deal of useful discussion at these meetings. A Young People’s Association was formed at Askar in June to further the interests of their own people, spiritually and economically. A class for pastors was held in Barisal from March 10th to 13th, and another has been arranged to commence on October 7th for one week. These classes for instruction and the quickening of zeal have been much appreciated. Babu Sarat Chandra Das was confirmed in his appointment as pastor of the Barisal Church and ordained by the Annual Assembly at Amgram on February 2nd, 1923. Out-Station Churches. The repairs to the chapel at Kaligram, costing over Rs. 1,000, are completed, and the money has been raised within the Kaligram church itself- At Dighaliya, the task of rebuilding a large brick structure in the midst of extensive rice-fields, which are dry land for only a third of the year, covered with water another third, and black, slushy mud the rest of the time, is sufficiently formidable for a village church. But most of the local people have given very well, and are becoming enthusiastic as they see the chapel nearing completion. Dhamsar Church has given Rs. 683-8-0 towards a new brick chapel. A kiln of bricks has been burned and the site raised. Other smaller efforts include the erection of tin-roofed chapels at Aicharmath and Nabagram, a pastor’s house at Suagram, and another at Narikelbari, undertaken by the churches in these places. Extension. The Gropalganj Mission, founded over fifty years ago by Mathura Nath Bose, has suffered so much from disintegrating forces both within and without that, after oft-repeated applications from a section of the Christians there, who had no organised church connection; to be received into our fellowship, and after prolonged consideration, the Church Council through its President received five families into our community. These people are prepared to adopt the practice of 1924.] INDIA. 15 believers5 baptism. Also a church has been founded among the new Christian settlers in the Sunderbunds at Sonatala, near the Bay of Bengal. The addition of these two centres largely extends the area covered by the Church Council. It is a very thin red line which holds this immense front—one protestant Christian to every 380 of the population, and the Christian forces very unevenly distributed. Evangelism. A staff of four men—an Assistant Missionary, two Evangelists, and a Colporteur—have been engaged for practically their whole time in evangelistic work. There are still large areas in this district practically unevangelised, whose appeal is insistent. Education. The number of Primary Schools which have been maintained for the whole year is 37, as against 31 last year. The average daily attendance has remained 16 for each school. This includes 290 Christian boys, 144 Christian girls, 209 non-Christian boys, and 16 non-Christian girls. Seven boys and two girls passed the Fourth Standard Annual Examination, and 21 boys and one girl the Third Standard Examination for the village schools. Boys7 Boarding School. The Boys’ Boarding School had quite an encouraging year’s work. Admissions at the beginning of 1923 included a big draft of Khulna boarders, 13 in all, as well as the usual influx from our own villages. We have now an Agricultural Diplomaed teacher, and Classes IV, V and VI are taking up the theory and practice of Agriculture. The Boys’ Brigade Company, founded in the middle of the year, has so far about 50 members. In order to provide raised ground for a playground and two masters’ houses in connection with the School, three and a quarter acres of low paddy land to the west of the School Compound were purchased and handed over to us on February 9th, 1923. The earth raising and levelling were prac­ tically finished when the rains began. With the old tank included, there is now a fine sheet of water nearly an acre in extent, providing both a good supply of drinking water and an excellent bathing tank.

CALCUTTA. Mr. Jewson writes : “ Though my forty-second year of evangelism in India will be completed next month, I cannot voluntarily retire, because, for one thing, since landing in Bengal I have not taken the precaution to cultivate tennis or golf, or any other hobby; then again, I came to India at the call of Jesus, and I have tried to follow in His footsteps— going about doing good. The living of this kind of life has been, and 16 ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT.

Their coming at night is not approved by Mrs. Jewson, though I tell her that I cannot forbid them to come in the evening, until it is found out to be a mistake that Jesus received Nicodemus by night. I never set eyes on a young man without loving him, without seeing that he is worth spending and being spent for. The secret of this is that, though I am sadly short-sighted, and sometimes greatly pain visitors by not being able to recognise them—still, like the artist who could see an angel in a block of marble, I can see what by the grace of God the young man can become. “ Some two and a half years ago, I persuaded four educated lads to accept apprenticeships in a boot factory. They have no clerical work, but are boot-makers. What broken-down prejudices that reveals no one who has not lived in India will be able to understand ! Of the four, one has died, the other three can work any machine in the factory, and as mediums of intercourse between the Englishmen and the coolies are in­ valuable. Early this year I got three more young men taken on there as apprentices. “ At the beginning of September, after several unsuccessful attempts, I persuaded three young men to enter the “ India Tanneries ” as appren­ tices ; they freely jump down into the vats of lime and water and haul up the heavy sodden skins of cows and buffaloes. “ Last Monday I had four educated young men sent off to Dhanbad to work side by side with Santal coolies in the coal mines. They are to have Rs. 40 per month and the privilege of reading in the Mining School at night. This venture is full of hope, for whereas the boot factory and the tanneries can take but few apprentices, the mines can take any number of men who are willing to begin at the beginning and work up. “ The help and teaching I have been able to give during the past twelve months has been an important factor in the conversion of two young Hindus who have been baptized at Entally, and one young Mussulman who has been baptized at Dacca. Several Hindus and several Mohammedans are now waiting to be baptized.”

Students. Mr. Nag writes that students and other educated men in Calcutta seem to be increasingly interested in the Gospel message. “ On many an occasion it has been borne in upon me that a real revival among them cannot be far off, if we only continue to be faithful to Him Whose we are and Whom we serve. “ Our work may be classified under the following heads, namely : (1) Visiting the students in their own Messes or Hostels, (2) Group work among them in the Squares, (3) Our own Hostel, (4) Bible Classes, and (5) Lectures. “ We have always had very successful Bible Classes, but this year’s beat all past records. I have had as many as 130 in my Bible Class. Elderly men of 60, 65 and 70 attended regularly, along with students, and 1924.] INDIA. 17

some of them brought in their own Testaments. We had three classes every week: one taken by Mr. Dutt, one by Mr. Sircar, and the other by myself.” Evangelistic Work. Mr. Ghose writes that the preaching of the Gospel was carried on as usual at the five different centres of preaching in the city of Calcutta— Xapit Bazaar, Phool Bagan, Karaya, Lower Circular Road, and Campbell Hospital. “ At all these places we get good audiences, and people are willing to listen to the Gospel message.” CHITTAGONG. Mr. Webb writes that under the leadership of Mr. A. S. C. Seine, the Honorary Pastor, the Church has pulled through a very difficult year, and that the future is much brighter than it has been for some time. There are no baptisms to report, but there are some who are entering an instructional class shortly with a view to baptism. “ Bazaar preaching has been carried on vigorously throughout the year, and with the aid of the motor-cycle and sidecar distant bazaars have been visited at frequent intervals. The different Religious Fairs in the district were attended and a goodlj number of Scripture portions sold. On only one occasion have we had any trouble in the fairs, and that was due to some Mohammedan students, who bought Scriptures, tore them up, and threw them back at us. It is significant that a Moulvie on the spot took them to task and spoke to them on the question of ‘ destroying the name of God in a religious book.’ We were glad of his timely help. It is question­ able whether such a man would have dared to side with us or help us in any way in this district less than two years ago. “ ■A pleasing feature of the work this year has been the interest shown by the students at Chittagong College. At their request we had three Bible Classes a week for a time, and two at least every week during terms. These were fairly well attended. “ Last year I reported a record sale for Chittagong. This past year that record has again been broken, over 8,000 copies of the Scriptures and Gospel portions being sold.”

CHITTAGONG HILL TRACTS. CHANDRAGHONA. The Church. “ It is over twelve years ago,” writes Mr. Jones, “ that it was decided that the Christians should support their own evangelists, and we have been practically without any during the interval. This year the Chandraghona Church has decided that each member shall give one-sixteenth of his salary, part for the construction of a new Church building and the remainder for the support of evangelists. One has already been appointed, and there is enough money for a second... As Rangamati is doing something of the same sort, a very good beginning is now being made. 18 ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT. {1924.

“ Some very successful meetings were held in Chandraghona in October with representatives from the three stations, Chittagong, Chandraghona and Rangamati. Several of the schoolboys and girls decided to ask for special teaching with a view to baptism at the final consecration meeting conducted by Babu Manohar Samaddar, of Chittagong. One boy who made this decision had been an opponent of Christianity, and had headed a Buddhist movement in the school, which caused us a lot of trouble. We trust his influence will now be as great on the other side. “ It has taken many years to get trained teachers for our village schools, and now we find the trained teachers are apt to teach very much like un­ trained teachers. Still, the final results this year are somewhat better than anticipated, and one school is sending in a boy for the Lower Primary Scholarship Examination, the first promise of the day, still a long way off, when we shall be able to insist on boys passing the L.P. standard before entering the Boarding School. The fact is that work cannot be built. One can only sow the seed and give it time to grow.”

RANGAMATI. Mr. Wenger writes that at the end of December, 1922, Mr. George Hughes returned from England with two new workers, Mr. W. H. Davies and Mr. J. E. Hughes, but, unfortunately, in six months Mr. Hughes again broke down in health, and now only Mr. W. H. Davies is left in this field. Mr. Hughes made two tours in the district, and a number of people were baptized on each trip. “ The great need of this district is incessant touring. Most of the 2,000 whose names are on our books are enquirers, who stand in sore need of long and continuous teaching, but in the course of a year not half of them can be visited ; as a consequence their interest flags and faith fails, and they slip back again into their old customs. Apart from personal visitation, the only way of instructing them is by the printed page, and books printed in the Chakma character would find a large public able to read and appre­ ciate them. The demand of the people, Christian and non-Christian, is for Gospels and hymn-books printed in the Chakma character, and written in simple Bengali, as their own native literature is. “ At the beginning of the. year there were eight village schools, but one has been closed through the failure of the parents to send the children. Schools are not yet felt to be a necessity, and people are content to learn their own alphabet at night in free and easy fashion by the light of the fire on the hearth.” DACCA. Mr. Carey writes that there has been a healthy growth of the sense of responsibility in the local Church. Evangelistic Sankirttans have been held on Tuesday evenings by a band of young laymen, assisted by the preachers, and largely attended by non-Christians. The work of daily bazaar preaching in the cityj has been continued without intermission by the evangelists, who have also made occasional tours in the district and found much encouragement in the sale of Scripture portions. 1924.] INDIA. 19

Among the Moslems. Mr. Bevan Jones "writes that early this year Rev. Salamat Ali Khan, of Simla, spent two months here helping in the work among Moslems. His preaching, as a convert from Islam, caused no little excitement in the Moslem quarter of the town. In the bazaars and the Reading Room he had some splendid opportunities to proclaim the Christian message., and his ardent evangelical spirit was an example to all. “ The Dacca staff has been cheercd this year by the faith and baptism of two converts from Mohammedanism. In both cases it was manifest that God’s Spirit had been at work in their hearts for a number of years. One is a fine youth of twenty-five, the other a wonderful old man of seventy- five years. It seems that some fifteen years ago the old man heard our brother Morris preach in the streets of Dacca, and the word then spoken went home. He has been a diligent reader of the Scriptures ever since. Truly these are cases where others laboured and we have but entered into their labours. “ The Maternity and Child Welfare Centre has afforded Mrs. Bevan Jones many opportunities for work among the women of the town, and she has, on several occasions, joined us in trips into the district, and has thus been able to help the village women.” Student Work. Mr. Bridges writes that the fresh developments in the work among students which were set forth in last year’s report have proved satisfac­ tory, and are being continued. The Rev. N. N. Roy, who came to Dacca in January to take the place of the Rev. R. B. Sircar on the latter’s transfer to Calcutta, has done sterling work among our village churches and schools. The only changes to be recorded are the closing of two elementary schools in the interests of greater efficiency and economy. DINAJPUR. Mr. Edmeades writes that the. year has been one of much sickncss among the staff at Dinajpur. All living on the Mission compound have been laid up for varying periods with malarial fever, influenza, dengue fever or dysentery. “ Death, too, has cast its dark shadow over us, and our own bright boy Cecil, aged seven, passed away last August. “ During the last cold season the greater part of the time was spent in district work. With bullock carts and bicycles we travelled far and wide over the 4,000 square miles which constitute our parish, encouraging the mem­ bers of the scattered Baptist Christian community. “ There have been 90 baptisms, chiefly from the non-Christian aboriginal communities. These converts have, as usual, been won for Christ by the energetic evangelism of the voluntary lay workers and untrained village pastors. “ The Boarding School is progressing favourably under its capable Santal Headmaster, Munshi John Hasdah. The number of boys in residence this year has been 40. They arc all aborigines, and come, from 20 ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT. [1924.

Jalpaiguri, Rangpur and Dinajpur. On a recent visit the Government Divisional Inspector expressed satisfaction with the school and pleasure at the brightness and cleanliness of the boys themselves.”

HOWRAH. Mr. Knight writes that from the beginning of 1923 the Bengali Church at Howrah has had its own honorary pastor, and the Sunday services have been sustained by him, with the aid of the deacons. Services have been regularly carried on during a part of the year at a village about four miles distant, where a few Christians reside as 'railway employees. Four baptisms have taken place among the young people during the year. “ The inerease in numbers and interest in the English Church services during the year has been very cheering, and some very successful week- night meetings have also been held. Three young people have been baptized in the English Church during the year, and at the time of writing there are increasing signs of life all round.”

JALPAIGURI. . Mr. Summers points out the difficulties attending the work at this station. “ The demand for labour on the tea gardens is so great that special inducements are offered to the coolies to work overtime, with the result that it is impossible to get the people in their homes during the daytime. Even on Sundays they cannot get to the services during the busiest time of the year. Thus it has become clear to us that we can only be sure of getting the people at night. The present arrange­ ment does not meet the need, as the coolies will not come out of their houses at night, and hence, for any effective work, we must go to them. We have come tp the conclusion that the only way to meet the need is to have teachers living in each of the principal lines where our people are, and we are on the look-out for suitable men for this purpose. “ We have more than maintained our ground, the community now numbering 234 as against 217 last year. Two women from the Christian community have been baptized, and there are several applicants for baptism under instruction.” JESSORE. “ Last March Mr. Milne, who had been in charge of the Boys’ Boarding School in Khulna since it was started in June, 1910, was transferred to Jessore. In January, Mr. and Mrs. Hunter went to the New Zealand Mission ‘on loan’ for a year, or it may be longer, and in February Mr. Goldsack left for his home in Australia for good. Our two Indian colleagues, Revs. P. K. Biswas and S. K. Biswas, remain in Jessore. “ Mr. Milne paid one visit to Jhenidah and two to Magurah before the rainy season began. Jhenidah is 29 miles distant by rail, but Magurah is 19240 INDIA. 21

17 miles from the railway. We meet with practically no opposition any­ where except in the Jessore market. At one market, about 9 miles distant, where we sold 32 gospels one day, one, of them was bought by a Brahmin, who took it home, read it, underlined the passages he didn’t understand, and a' few weeks later brought the book to us for explanation. He has since visited us once or twice, and we are keeping in touch with him. Literature. “ Before leaving, Mr. Goldsack saw through the press his Mussulmani, Bengali-English dictionary. Thirty-six out of the fifty he left for sale have been disposed of. His “ Selections from Mohammedan Traditions ” also is on sale. As a Station Committee we wish to place on record the great value we attach to the books, not a few, he prepared for work among Mohammedans during the years he spent in Jessore.

Education. “ During the year the school at Daulatpur has been raised to the status of an Upper Primary School. We have now two teachers at work there. • Our only other school, a Lower Primary School, is at Dhopakhola, about five miles distant from Jessore.

Baptisms. “ About three months ago one old Khulna Boarding School boy, a Mohammedan belonging to this district, was baptized by Mr. Reid in Calcutta. He seems to be firmly established in the faith, and is now helping Mr. Jewson in Calcutta.”

KHULNA. Mr. G. W. Shaw describes in his Report how the call came to him to take up at Khulna the work that Mr. Peter Noble, who had but shortly before come from the Dacca field, had commenccd with enthus­ iasm and promise. Mr. and Mrs. Shaw are now in charge at Khulna. “ In December, 1922, the Khulna Boarding School was finally closed. The Khulna Christians deeply regretted this step, for under Mr. Milne the school for many years has done great service in the educating of the boys of the district. The Khulna Baptist Union resolved upon the establishment of a Boys’ Middle English School, away from the town of Khulna, in the midst of the churches situated thickly together in the part of the district farther south. Mr. Noble had carefully fostered the idea, and on the closing of the Mission School at Head-quarters the new scheme was commenced. It is still in the experimental stage, but has made a promising beginning. Several houses have been erected without aid from the Mission, the people themselves giving the necessary money, cutting down in the far-away Sunderban Forests the necessary timber, and bringing it to Sehalabunia, where this independent school is being established. Some Rs. 2,500 has been given in money and labour by the local Christians. A good deal more has yet to be done, for the scheme is costing more than was anticipated. The school started in January in temporary quarters, a venture which may yet mean much in that great task that faces our whole Bengal Mission, namely, that of leading our Bengali Baptist brethren to take a greater interest and a greater part in work for the benefit of their own Church and community. 22 ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT. [1924.

“ With the other Mission, workers stationed at Head-quarters I have done a good deal of visiting in the town of Khulna, as also preaching in the bi-weekly market and visiting the local hospital. Mrs. Shaw has also done a good deal of visiting in the town and joined me in a month’s work done among the churches that encircle Sehalabunia. “ During the last four months of the Mission year most of our time has been taken up by the work of adding to and altering the big school-house at Head-quarters formerly used for the boys’ boarding. This work had been necessary in view of the impending transfer of the Women Converts’ Home from Jessore.” NARAYANGANJ. The Station Committee write that the various branches of the work at Narayanganj are in a healthy condition. In March, Mr. and Mrs. T. D. Williams went to undertake the temporary pastorate of the Union Church at Darjeeling, and cordial thanks are due to Mr. R. C. Ghosh, now on the retired list, who gave his services to the superinten­ dence of the evangelistic work during the missionary’s absence. The local church have honoured him by appointing him as their first pastor. PURNEA. Mr. Watson writes that the work has gone on steadily through the year. “ The churches in Malda and Purnea are passing through a period of trial incident to the acceptance of the Christian faith ; that is to say, their religion is now being applied to their daily life. The glamour of the great change from Hinduism to Christianity is passing, and applying faith is very different from accepting faith. Their late leaders are endea vouring, in various ways, to induce them to forsake their faith in Jesus, but without success. This is specially true of the Christians from the Hari community; the converts from Rajbansis are firm in their allegiance. “ This year they have completed their new church. The leaders keep a register of attendances at service on Sundays, and any absentee is care­ fully visited : their Church accounts are faithfully kept. During the year S we have been able to re-organise the Church at Birbaldangi with the help and sympathy of the brethren at Baragachia. We have had the joy of baptizing some thirty converts, and have been able to establish a centre in a new village. “ Evangelistic work has gone on steadily through the year. In the villages the people have listened with much attention. Our scope of service has greatly increased with the advent of the Ford car. Villages, however, must be visited constantly lest the hearers forget. Several Santalis from the west of the district have been baptized.” Mr. Santh writes of the growth of the spirit of giving among the people of Malda. “ A self-supporting Church has been my ideal, and though the goal is yet distant, progress has been made. A generous response was received to the plea for help during the financial ( 1924.1 INDIA. 23

stringency. In comparison with more wealthy communities their contributions may seem small, but are large when their poverty is considered. I was gladdened and heartened by their gifts.”

RANGPUR. Mr. Woollard writes that 1923 was a year of spiritual growth and progress. “ With the advent of the year came four months of splendid evangelistic work, many new places were visited, and the demand for books was such that it was difficult to get them up from Calcutta quickly enough. “ The feeling of freedom, after the restrictions enforced by the non- co-operation movement, was also a real pleasure, but at one market in a bordering town which I visited with my workers we heard the old cry again, and a desperate attempt was made to drive us out of the market. It was estimated that we had from 1,000 to 1,500 people against us. Happily for us, the owner of the market and some other influential persons came to our aid and gave us protection. I can only speak in the highest praise of one of our workers, a convert of about two years’ standing. He stood valiantly by me, and his clothes were torn in his attempt to keep the people from molesting me. “ In two, at least, of our schools there has been considerable progress, to meet which we had in one case to enlarge our building and to appoint a second teacher. The enlarged building was opened by the Chairman of the Municipality, who gave a grant of Rs. 31 to clear the debt on the building, and promised more help next year. We have also found it necessary to open a school at Chowdharani, our Garo centre, chiefly for the children of that Christian community. This is at present quite in its infancy, but it promises well. “ Evidence of real spiritual growth has beeA most marked in the Bani- harra Santali Church, where we have had five baptisms. In one case the Mondal or headman of a village was baptized. At another centre amongst the Oroan community we have had five baptisms, and it seems that before long we may have quite a strong cause there. These are the people mentic ned in our 1916 report; they have been the object of our prayers for many years, hence you may imagine the joy with which we welcomed their bap­ tism. Evidently they were genuine seekers after the truth, led away for a time, but eventually to find their peace in Him who is “ the way, the truth, and the life.’ In all we have had twelve baptisms this year. “ An item which marks a real advance was the visit of Miss Lockhart, the Rev. J. Reid, and Miss Payne. It is with much gratitude that we welcome, as a result of their visit, the appointment of two W.M.A. workers for Northern Bengal, with the promise of two more for Rangpur at an early date. This partly removes a long-felt need, but the situation cannot be by any means satisfied until there are two women workers for each of these large districts.”

SERAMPORE. SERAMPORE COLLEGE. Mr. Drake, Acting-Principal, writes that early in the year Mr. and Mrs. Carpenter left Serampore for Delhi, and in May Mr. and Mrs. Hirst returned to England, Mr. Hirst’s health having continued to 24 ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT. [1924 give cause for anxiety. In June, Dr. and Mrs. Howells took short furlough, to find subsequently that domestic concerns would necessitate their remaining at home, probably till towards the end of 1924. Our Vernacular Theological Department lost its Secretary in April by the transfer of Mr. A. C. Ghose to take the oversight of the Bengali Christian community in the South Villages. His long period of devoted service at Serampore, both as a teacher in the Vernacular Theological Depart­ ment and as Pastor of our local Bengali Church, will not be forgotten. Mr. G. H. C. Angus returned from furlough in July, having added to his academic laurels by taking the post-graduate Divinity Examination of the London University. “ Happily we were able to fill the gap in the Vernacular Department forthwith by the appointment of Mr. A. L. Sircar as Secretary. “ Once again our students have had the advantage of a course of lectures on Mohammedanism by Mr. Bevan Jones, to whom we extend once more our hearty thanks for his valuable help. “ The serious financial situation reflected in last year’s Report continues practically unchanged. Our European staff has been reduced below the margin of safety, only three members remaining to carry on. In addition to these we have four Indian Christians and thirteen Hindus to lecture in the Higher Theological and the Arts Departments. The proportion of Christian to non-Christian lecturers is far from satisfactory, since the con­ tribution of the latter to the work necessarily lacks the special Christian motive and outlook. “ The Senate has approved a system of external registration under which eligible students who for various reasons are unable to study in an institution, or are in a position to prosecute further theological studies after passing through an institution, may take “ external ” courses and sit for examinations leading to the L.Th. Diploma or the B.D. Degree. So far, the names on the External Register number 67. The final examination results of these students, to date, are as follows:— No. qualified for the L.Th. Diploma .. 1 No. qualified for the B.D. Degree .. .. 12 In addition to the above, 23 external students have passed examinations in part of their courses and are eligible to complete the same. Higher Theological Department. “ The number of students in residence in this Department is 22, of whom 6 are taking the B.D. course, 13 the L.Th. course, and 3 are taking special courses. They represent the Baptist (American, Canadian and English), Congregational, Lutheran, South India United Church, Syrian and Welsh Calvinistie Methodist Communions. At the 1923 Examinations 5 of our students passed the final B.D. Examination, while 2 qualified for the L.Th. Diploma. Arts Department. ' “ As a result of our work in this Department, in affiliation with the Calcutta University, beginning with the 1912 Examinations, 424 of our students have passed the Intermediate Arts Examination and 247 have graduated in Arts. Affiliation in Intermediate Science in 1921 has so far resulted in 64 of our students passing in this examination. The increasing 1924.] INDIA. 25

interest in scientific studies among Bengali students points to the advisability of our opening a B.Sc. Department in 1924. Difficulties concerning finance and adequacy of staff compel us to approach the matter very deliberately, but we are not without hope that it will prove possible for us to take this further step in July next. Our present enrolment of Arts and Science students is as follows :— Intermediate Arts ...... 86 Bachelor of Arts .. . . 53 Intermediate Science ...... 146

Total .. 285 Of this number, 55 are Christians, including 19 Baptists. In the 1923 Examinations of the Calcutta University, 45 passed the Intermediate Arts and Science Examinations and 34 qualified for the B.A. Degree. Of the latter, 3 secured 2nd Class Honours and 9 “ Distinction.” Vernacular Theological Department. “ This Department serves mainly for the training of evangelists and pastors for the London Baptist Mission and the Baptist community in Bengal, but it is open to students of any denomination, and a few have been sent up and supported by various Missions. Two students passed out towards the end of last year. One of them is now engaged by the B.M.S. as an evangelist at Dacca, and the other is working as a village pastor in the Faridpur District. All our vernacular theological students, together with the Revs. A. C. Ghosh and A. L. Sircar, spent a full month last winter working in the village churches of the Backergunj and Faridpur districts, visiting nearly all the homesteads of six or seven villages, and doing practical and helpful work along evangelistic and pastoral Unes. At the present time only five students remain in the Department, three in the Third Year Class and two in the Second Year Class. The third year students will be leaving at thè beginning of next year. New admissions are expected in January next.” The Collegiate School. “ This school has been transferred to Bishnupur, to be perpetuated there under the name of “ The William Carey High School.” So far as mere figures can tell, the work of the school has not been in vain. Scores of scholars during the past thirteen years have passed the Matriculation Examination of the Calcutta University, and many of these have continued their studies in the I.A., I.Sc. and B.A. classes of the college. That the Christian influences of the school and school hostel have not been exercised in vain we are also well assured. “ We urge that prayer be made for the future of this honoured foundation, so that, if God so will, its latter glory may eclipse all that we have yet been privileged to see.” SOUTH LUSHAI- The revision of the Lushai New Testament after five years’ patient labour was announced in our last annual report. Since then, Mr. Lorrain has spent six months in Calcutta with his helper, Zathanga, seeing the work through the press. “ Numerous delays in the process of printing gave us time and opportunity to furnish the whole book 26 ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT. [1924. with references, which will greatly add to its value and usefulness. The British and Foreign Bible Society has had the plates stereotyped and a first edition of 10,000 copies printed. The people here are eagerly looking forward to the day when a consignment will arrive and be on sale. Although we had portions of the first translation of the Lushai New Testament printed as far back as 1898, it was not until 1916 that the complete work was published. Since then the Bible Society has sold 13,756 copies to the Missions in and around the Lushai Hills, making an average of 1,720 each year. This is a splendid record, and indicates how wonderfully Christianity and education have spread since Mr. Savidge and I had the privilege of entering this region thirty years ago. “ I returned from Calcutta to prepare my Dictionary for the press before commencing the translation of the Old Testament. The first Diction­ ary in the Lushai language was published by us when we left North Lushai in 1898, and this lias long been out of print. The need for a greatly enlarged edition has been urgently felt for some time by new missionaries and Govern­ ment officials, and also by the rising generation of English-learning Lushais, all of whom find themselves much handicapped for want of such a book of reference. Mr. Wenger’s transfer to Lushai promised to provide me with the very help I needed, so we began together to overhaul the mass of material collected through nearly a quarter of a century—four years in North Lushai and twenty years in the South. But we had hardly got under way when, to the great disappointment of us both, the*much-to-be-regretted invaliding home of Mr. George Hughes of Rangamati made it necessary, in the interest of the work there, for Mr. Wenger to be transferred at once to that station until other arrangements could be made. Carrying on alone after such a hopeful beginning makes progress seem as slow to me as it would to an ant trying to empty a granary one grain at a time.” Mr. Savidge writes :— “ Our head Lushai schoolmaster and the second master have left us to go as missionaries to other tribes situated on the frontier of Lushai. Their places have now been satisfactorily filled. There are nineteen schools for boys in South Lushai. On the rolls there are 463 pupils. This includes three girls who are reading with the boys in a village school. Out of this number 410 are Christians, and the remaining 53 are non-Christians. “ Among the pupils, 34 have passed Lower Primary, 10 the Upper Primary, and 5 the Middle English examinations. Three boys have also obtained Government scholarships of three rupees a month, tenable for three years. Two of our old boys have passed the Matriculation of the Calcutta University and have received special scholarships to enable them to continue their studies until they obtain a degree at the University. Another boy has abo received a special allowance from Government to enable him to qualify as an assistant surgeon at a medical school. Among the candidates for baptism, 22 were old boys from the central school on the Mission compound. Every week a lecture in connection with the St. John’s Ambulance Classes has been given to 47 of the senior boys. 1924.] INDIA. 27

“ Apart from the regular schools, many Lushais learn privately to read and write. One of our schoolboys was lying jn his house very ill, in fact he was dying. He asked his mother to take 5s book and sing to him one of his favourite hymns. The mother was very sad because she could neither read nor sing. The boy died, but the mother determined that such a request should never be unanswered in the case of any of her other children. She at once diligently began to learn, and in a few months was able to read and to sing. “ Inour boys’ hostel there are now 75 boarders a larger number than we have ever had before. Among them there are 14 sons of chiefs. The Government supports eight of these. According to the reports of the masters and the prefects the conduct of these boys has been exemplary. The older ones have always been most willing to assist the smaller and less- informed boys all they could. Their health has been good. Among the boarders there are representatives from 57 different villages. “ On the whole there is a keener desire on the part of the boys to learn. The hindrance is most often the parents. When they do attend school they are, as a rule, very obedient pupils. I believe most of them try to live up to the mottoes which hang up in the schools and confront them at all times. “ Do your work every day as if you were going to live for ever. Live every day as if you were going to die to-morrow. Remember that only our best is good enough for God.” Mr. Wenger writes :— “ ‘ A chapel on every hill-top and Christians to greet you in every village.’ This is not a report of deputation work at home, but almost a literal fact about the Lushai field. “ Two days after Christmas I started out on tour from Lungleh. Late in the afternoon wre reached the village where we intended to stay the night, and though we had come unexpectedly we were none the less welcomed, and in a short time a house was placed at our disposal. We found we were in time for the close of the Christmas festivities, and the chapel was crowded at night for a special meeting. The next day, at the next village we reached, there was the same hearty welcome, our lodging was prepared, and at night a meeting was held. And so it happened at every village; if a crowd was not lining the pathway to greet us with hymns on our arrival, they would wait outside the chapel to shake hands after the service. In some villages, after the meeting, the young people would follow us to our lodging and continue singing hymns till in sheer weariness we had to ask them to stop and let us get some sleep after our day’s march. The Lushais delight in Christian hymns, and, having a good ear, even without the aid of tune-books they sing in the villages the Welsh, English and Khasi tunes which they have heard in Lungleh. “ In each little community of Christians the work of the men who are the honorary pastors and Sunday School superintendents is of untold value. By a summer-school held in Lungleh we are trying to help these men to help their own villages. Another splendid feature of the LuBhai Church is their realisation that they have been enlightened that they may be lights in the world. Many are now turning their eyes to the mountains and valleys beyond, where Pois and Chins and other tribes, are still in darkness, and some young men and women are volunteering to be the missionaries of the Lushai Church. In the course of four months’ touring, only two villages 28 ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT. [1924.

were found where there had been a serious set-back, and the persuasions of heathen neighbours had caused a number to forget their promises and go back to old habits of drinking. These two villages are unusually difficult of access, and have been seldom visited.”

SOUTH VILLAGES.

Six weeks before the opening of the new school year, the final decision to transfer the High School from Serampore to Bishnupur was made, and Mr. French was appointed as Head-master of the united school. Arrangements had to be made at hot speed for the erection of the new buildings required and the choice of new teachers, Mr. French had to continue to act as District Missionary in addition to his school duties. On the last day of the old year the Serampore boarders invaded Bishnupur, and the following week the Carey High School began a career which, we trust, will carry on the best Serampore traditions. “ At first, however, we had to run the united school in the middle school buildings. Classes were held in any old corner, boys slept packed in a manner that would have been scandalous but for the splendid breeze which blows through our dormitory, and resident masters were crammed together in undignified compression. Everybody, however, bore these very real discomforts with admirable cheeriness. Gradually cart-loads of furniture arrived from Serampore, and new class-rooms began to rise. We have erected six new class-rooms, a weaving room, a Primary Department, two masters’ houses and a new latrine, and doubled the accommodation of the dining hall. In August the W.M. A. House was handed over for the use of the Headmaster, and the old Mission House was converted into a hostel for four masters and the junior boys, and now the accommodation is fairly satisfactory. We have 321 on the rolls, of whom 81 are boarders, and 240 day boys, mostly Hindus. Mr. T. C. Vicary, B.A., arrived in Bishnupur in January, and has been able to render valuable help in taking English with the matriculation class and in helping with games, drill and a Bible Class. “ The Rev. A. C. Ghosh took over the duties of District Missionary on the 1st July, and is living at Laksmikantapur. He has visited almost ever party of the district. He has started Bible study groups among the young men of Laksmikantapur and Dhanghata, and there is an evidence of raised spiritual tone in these villages.”

ORISSA.

ANGUL. Mr. and Mrs. Guest open their Report with a description of Christmas joy at Angul on their return to their station from Cuttack, where they had gone to help with the Mission Press during Mr. Grundy’s illness. “ Invitations were given to all Christian families to come to sports and Christmas Tree in our compound ; the tree was cut, Father Christmas’ s 1924.] INDIA. 29 red gown and white jute beard were all ready—but no boxes. Three days before the event we received news that the bullock-cart bringing the goods had collapsed on the road! A relief cart was sent off, and returned two days before Christmas. The two boxes were like two houses ; more than this, the two had turned into three. “ Barnabas ” sent us the third—an endless treasure chest. We have never dis­ covered who “ Barnabas ” is. Can anyone tell us ? Christmas and Boxing Days were riots of joy : mothers and fathers, young men and maidens, babies and ayahs, all came and shared in the “ tamasha.” Indian daddies walked on their hands and Indian mothers had swings and dips in the bran-tub. Father Christmas was magnificent— terrifying to some. As the sun went down the happy party ended with distribution of sweets. “ January brought the visit of the Deputation, on the 16th, and our hearts were full of a great welcome. It meant more to us out at Angul to get a “ look up ” from home than perhaps the Deputation ever knew or will know. It was a great disappointment that we were unable to arrange visits to the small Christian communities in the surrounding district, these isolated little bands being especially dear to us, but such expeditions were an impossibility. The Deputation were able to meet the members of the Angul Christian community on two occasions, and also many of our Hindu friends who came to our home one evening. “ During the cooler months we tried a new venture, inviting our Indian Christian friends to come and spend evenings with us. Sometimes a family party would be invited, father, mother and children all sitting down with us on the matting floor of our dining-room to eat curry and rice with their fingers. At other times Hindu friends came along and gave us musical evenings. We loved listening to Tagore’s sweet songs in the vernacular, and to performances on the harmonium, piano and clarionet. Caste forbade them eating with us. “ Before the cold season ended we made two expeditions into the interior. Nearly three weeks were spent in jungly places, but the welcomes we got more than compensated for all the journeyings. Throughout the tours nearly fifty villages were entered, about half of which had never before been visited by a Padre Sahib. Everywhere we met with the greatest friendliness, and both men and women showed real eagerness to purchase Christian books. On the other hand, this close contact with the people revealed to us the tremendous grip of Hinduism upon their lives. “ We have been faithfully helped in spreading the ‘ Good News ’ by Evangelist John Parida and Colporteurs Achyut Behera and Karim Khan. It will be remembered that Karim is a convert from Mohammedanism, and he continues to be a successful soul-winner. During September fourteen of “ Karim’s Band ’ confessed Christ by baptism. “ The closing word is one of hope. God is supplying our needs in a wonderful way. The motor-car that we have long prayed and worked for is ours, the princely gift of our friend Mr. A. R. Doggart, of Darlington. The rice-lields are barren and unyielding; the ‘ fields of God ’ are white into harvest—they have never been whiter. Pray that such help may be forthcoming as shall enable us to gather in a full and flourishing harvest for our glorious Lord.” 30 ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT. [1924.

BALANQIR, PATNA, PADAMPUR, BARGARH, “ During the year,” writes Mr. Jarry, “ the Indian staff have worked faithfully and well, and our fellowship together has been most happy. We have visited most of the important centres of our work during the year, travelling in our ‘ Ford ’ more than 4,000 miles on such journeys. We have to report 100 baptisms, and a long list of enquirers and learners. New villages are constantly asking for teachers. “ Four new church buildings have been erected and opened at the expense of the churches concerned at Kurulapali, Pondrani, Sasanpali and Jkankarapali. At Girila and Dengunia the churches have built houses for their teachers, and at Agalpore one of the Christians recently at his own expense erected a house for their teacher. Four new school buildings have been built and opened by the West Orissa Christian Church Union, which is the Union of the churches of this district. The present number of church members is 2,547. “ In the twelve or thirteen centres where there are elementary day schools, Sunday Schools have been started, and in a few other places as well. In Balangir the Sunday School, under the leadership of Mr. Fellows, has made great progress this year. By way of an experiment, the morning service was merged into the Sunday School with two adult classes, and the feeling is that the change has been a right one. In the All-India Sunday School examination our Sunday School took the first place in Orissa, and for the second year in succession won the silver cup which is held by the school that obtains the highest number of passes. As last year, one silver medal came to us, and a goodly number of prizes. “ One great feature of our annual meetings was the setting apart of the first ‘ Outcaste ’ convert to the Ministry of the Word. He was one of the earliest men chosen to become a village preacher. Being deemed worthy of the higher and more responsible position, he was recommended for it and during the meetings, in the presence of a large company, was ordained to the work of the ministry. It was a solemn and impressive service, conducted by Mr. Anderson, who, after an address, laid his hand upon him, and then offered prayer. Thus was John Besara set apart. He returned to Monera as pastor, and during the year he has conducted the Lord’s Supper, presided at the church meetings, and has had the privilege of baptizing some twenty or more.” Mr. Fellows writes that in the State Examinations held in Novem­ ber, 1922, all the candidates sent in from the school at Balangir were again successful; three in the Middle Vernacular and six in the Upper Primary. Two of those taking the M.V. examination obtained first and second places in the State, and one of the boys in the U.P. gained the third place in that examination. “ It has been decided to introduce the teaching of weaving in the school curriculum. For this purpose work has been started on the erection of a weaving shed, and the boys themselves have dug and laid the founda­ tions. The boys are taught to sew in the school. This has been carried a step further, and certain boys have been taught to cut out and make shirts and coats under Mrs. Jarry’s supervision. “ There has been a slight increase in the numbers in the Hostels— 74 boys and 32 girls. 1924.] INDIA. 31

“ As to the Elementary Schools, seven more have been opened during the year, namely at Chata, Kurulapali, Taljory, Sointala, Girola, Dungania and Borihapali. There are now twelve in the district, and the work being done in them is on the whole satisfactory.”

BERHAMPUR. Evangelistic Work. The evangelistic work at Berhampur has been in the hands of our assistant missionary and two evangelists, supervised by Miss Dawson. Long and short tours in the districts far and near have been made, and our brethren have had large and interested crowds.

The Industrial School and Boys’ Orphanage. “ The Industrial School has proved itself a great help in the community. Apart from supplying and repairing furniture for all who place orders with the school, the training is good for the boys. Many of the boys on entering are young, inexperienced and easily led; here they are trained to be punctual, reliable, to be quick of hand and eye, and are constantly under Christian supervision. After completing their training, they are ready to earn their own living—some make as much as Rs. 50 a month—which is an asset to the economic condition of our Christian community. “ The number in the Orphanage is slightly less than last year, owing to the fact that no new boys have been admitted, in accordance with the resolution of Conference. One of the senior boys, who confessed Christ as his Saviour some time ago, and wished to be trained as an evangelist, entered the Cuttack Theological College last December. Two other boys have joined the Industrial School, one of whom, with one who is still at school, has confessed Christ and asked for baptism. The Telugu Church. “ The Telugu Church at Berhampur has offered an excellent instance of an Indian church taking up its own burdens worthily. A resolution to close two girls’ schools was passed by Conference. The Telugu Church, in April, 1923, started a Sunday School for the scholars of the Telugu Caste Girls’ School. The members of the Church, realising the great opportunity presented by the Christian teaching given to the Hindu children, felt it imperative that the day school should be retained at all costs, with a subsidy from the Mission. On June 19th a meeting was held and a management committee formed. The school was re-opened at the beginning of July, and has now a staff of five trained teachers. It is particularly encouraging that the numbers on the roll have increased and that the average attendance is higher than for many years past.”

CUTTACK. The College. Mr. Jabez Patra writes :— “ Seventy years back a small building was erected in one of the Mission compounds to accommodate classes, but in 1913 the dilapidated condition of the building was so great that it seemed quite unsafe to hold classes under its roof, so it was pulled down. The present College 32 ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT. [1924. building consists of two class-rooms, a Library Hall and a Lecture Hall which, however, needs extension. It is situated between the Principal’s Residence and the Students’ Hostel, on a spacious site in the north-east corner of the city. “ Easter Monday, 1923, was a memorable occasion in the history of the Church in Orissa. This day the ceremony of the opening of the New College building was observed in an enthusiastic manner. The Rev. John Reid, the Indian Secretary of the B.M.S., and Dr. Howells, the Principal of Serampore College, were present, with the members of the Executive Committee of the U.C.C.U., the representa­ tives of different churches of Cuttack, the leading members of the community, as well as some non-Christian gentlemen of the city. “ The Orissa Mission Academy, as it was first called, was organised in November, 1845, when three students were received. Dr. Sutton was appointed as the first Principal. This Institution could justly be called the Power House of Orissa. It is an undeniable fact that it has through its preachers exerted much influence over the country.” The Pike-Wilkins Dictionary. Mr. Gordon Wilkins, Missionary in charge, writes that he gave much time during the year to completing the comprehensive English-Oriya Dictionary which has been so long in preparation. “ The result has been that we have printed 72 pages more, and are now drawing very near the end. I think the completed work (a volume of 700 quarto pages) will be placed on the table at next Conference in January. Even if it bears the date 1923, it will represent 24 years of effort, as it was begun in 1899. Both the gentlemen who so enthusiastically undertook the work—the Rev. J. G. Pike and Babu Samson Das, B.A.—are dead. I took it on in 1906. The first English-Oriya Dictionary was published by Dr. Amos Sutton in 1841.”

Stewart School. Mr. Biggs writes that this school has now 94 pupils. With the de­ velopment of the school, Government has shown more confidence, and has helped very generously in financial as well as in other ways. “ Our standing grants have been increased as a result of the raising of the status to secondary; several scholarships have been given ; by the aid of a good capital grant we have been enabled to re-furnish the school throughout in a very satisfactory w ay; we have been enabled to start a Teachers’ and Workers’ Provident Institution Fund on an equal contribution basis, a most important step ; and finally we have been guaranteed help in the appointment for next year of an additional teacher for the senior classes, now an absolute necessity. “ This year has seen the formation of a troop of 25 Boy Scouts, and we are hoping that this may be a valuable help in the character formation and development at which we are aiming. As another step in this direction of tackling the problem of character development we have introduced the house system into the school, and this has already evoked much enthusiasm. q- M n s Utori 1924:. J INDIA. 33

“ During the past year we have sent out into the world our three senior scholars, two girls and one boy. All are definite Christians and baptized. They have gone, one girl as a nurse in the Pilgrim Hospital at Puri, the other into married life. The boy has been apprenticed in the Railway Shops at Khargpur.” The Mission High School. Mr. Millman points out that this school has now given fifty years’ witness to an education with a definite religious direction. “ Thirteen of the students matriculated during the course of the year, and in the Annual Sports for Cuttack and district our boys did very creditably. This year our senior Football Team secured the coveted Gupta Cup, and the rejoicings went far into the second day. This makes the tenth oscasion since 1906. “ This year has seen the initiation and recognition of four troops of Boy Scouts. The boys are most keen about every detail of the work, and I have not known anything taken up with more enthusiasm. “ The three hostels attached to the school have been well maintained. In one we have some fifteen Christian students residing, and in the other two there are forty Hindu youths. These latter two are practically self- supporting, and we hope the Christian one will be in the coming year. “ The motto of the school is ‘ By love serve one another,’ and there are numbers of youths, both among the Christian and the Hindu students, who are striving to carry out the spirit of the motto.”

The Leper Asylum. Mr. Millman took over the general superintendency of this Institution from Mr. Grundy at the beginning of February. The total number of inmates remains 170, of whom 40 are women. The regular religious services have been maintained. “ There are 23 Christians among the inmates, but our average attendance at a service is 75 people. I know no service which calls forth one’s best as service for these unfortunate sufferers does. “ The brightest spot in the whole institution is the advanced ward where Labanya Das dwells. He radiates the joy of the Lord. He never complains. If he speaks of suffering or pain it is in reference to his Lord’s suffering for him. JSTo man leaves Labanya’s presence without being conscious of the Lord’s own presence too, and with a sense of great humbling that one so smitten and so sore should show such triumph of soul. Labanya Das has a fine Christian hope and courage.” Orissa Mission Press. Mr. Robinson, who took charge of the Mission Press on Mr. Grundy’s departure, reports a very busy year, chiefly with Missionary and Educational books. “ It is gratifying to report that the “ well-known ” Oriya Dictionary is nearing completion, and we hope to have it finished before the end of the current year. More men have been put on to expedite the work. Then we have the new Oriya Hymn Book, which is well in hand, and, we hope, will be ready for distribution early in January. Several new books of the Christian Literature Society are in the Press, and a special staff has been appointed to carry on this work.” 34 ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT. [1924.

PHULBANI. The Phulbani Baptist Church was opened on New Year’s Day. Quite a large congregation besides the Christians attended the opening ceremony. This is the first Christian Church to be opened in the Khond Hills. The building account closed with a balance in hand, which has been used for the erection of the pastor’s house and out­ buildings, which have also been completed free of debt. “ Visiting the villages, preaching and distributing literature in the markets, and touring in the out-districts has occupied our time. The sale of literature has been good, many of our books finding their way into the Native States of Band and Daspalla, through the people who visit the markets from those states for the purpose of trade. “ The magic lantern has been most useful in our touring work. Large crowds gathered in the evenings and listened most attentively to the gospel message. There have been two baptisms. “ Early in the year we had the pleasure of a visit from the Deputation. On arrival in Phulbani they were accorded a very hearty welcome by the members of the Church and congregation in their new building. The possibility of women’s work in the Khond Hills seemed to impress the Deputation, and we trust this will materialise in the near future.”

PURI. Mr. Collins writes that in addition to the usual activities of the Mission, special pieces of work have been attempted. Two of these took the form of Book-room interviews at the two great Festivals, but the third attempt was on new lines. “ The Rev. B. C. Sircar, M.A., a well-known leading Indian Christian of the Y.M.C.A., joined us here, and together we established an ‘ Asram.’ A room in the mission bungalow was set apart for the purpose and an attempt at direct evangelism on indigenous lines was made. The mornings and evenings were divided into hours of meditation, teaching and song, with a weekly public lecture in the church. The local Christian community was much inspired by the fine vernacular preaching of Mr. Sircar. A number of young men from Cuttack came down for a week-end retreat, and, we feel, caught a vision of a new way. “ With this we combined a good amount of sick-visiting both at the local hospital and in private cases. It was six weeks of intense effort, and I am convinced that this is the kind of work needed here in Puri, where there are no less than 1,700 Hindu Asrams. There must be one Christian Asram—a true asram. Mr. Sircar promises another visit early in 1924, and we are both hoping great things.” SAMBALPUR. Mr. Horsburgh writes that in addition to a perceptible advance in some directions, the consolidation of existing work among the Mundas in the Telanpali District (which lies 30 miles north of Sambalpur), and the promise of success there, necessitated a resident preacher in the district, and the recognition of Telanpali as the head-quarters of 1924.J INDIA. 35

a sub-centre. “ In another part of the same district we have opened a school, with an experienced teacher in charge. We feel sure that the promise of a spiritual harvest in this district will be fulfilled. “ In our last report mention was made of the need of a hostel for Munda boys, and that this hostel was built in the Mission compound at Sambalpur independently of the mission. During the year ten boys have been in residence. The institution is not quite self-supporting, but the additional expense is being met from private sources. The boys attend a Government day-school, and are regular in their attendance at Sunday School and Church services. “ From the beginning of November until the end of March, much of our time was spent in touring the district. Although we preached in a great number of Hindu villages and sold a large number of books and tracts, the primary object of our tours was to visit each house in which Christians resided. This we managed to do, although it often entailed walking through miles of forest. In every case we had a warm welcome. In places where three or four Christian homes were near, we had a little service. In one such group an old woman who had not been able to attend any service for some time requested us to have a communion service. This we willingly did. The old woman, although poor, insisted on putting Re. 1 into the collection which was taken up for local church funds.”

UDAYAG1RI. Mr. Grimes writes that owing to the prolonged furlough of the missionaries, the work of this station has devolved upon the Assistant Missionary, Babu John Biswas, who has worked hard in seeking to maintain the Educational, Evangelistic arid Church work. There have been two baptisms. “ One special item of great interest was the opening of the first Christian Church in TJdayagiri. This was done during the visit of the Deputation, and Miss Lockhart performed the opening ceremony. The large bell, presented by the Young Men’s Class, Friar’s Lane Baptist Chapel, Leicester, announced the glad event. Appropriate addresses were given, and an address of -welcome was -also presented to the Deputation. The erection of the church has been to a very large extent the labour of the members and congregation.”

NORTH INDIA. AGRA. Agra offers another happy instance of the acceptance of self-con- trol and responsibility by an Indian Church. Hitherto a B.M.S. Agent had been appointed pastor, and largely supported from B.M.S. funds. It was decided that the Church should be handed over to the Indian Christian community for one year, and that it should appoint and endeavour to support its own pastor. It was a bold venture, but there are signs that it was not a mistaken one. Mr. B. Paul, son of Mr. J. Paul, who was, until his death, a worker in the Mission, was 36 ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT. [1924, appointed pastor, and he has certainly given earnest effort to the work. The members of the Mission staff are just ordinary members of the Church, and, apart from giving advice if asked to do so, leave the Church to develop as far as possible along its own lines. During the year there were five baptisms from the Christian community and one from the non-Christian,

District Work. “ The villages in the Achnera, Karauli and Fatehpur Sikri districts have been visited regularly during the year, and the evangelists have re­ ceived a warm welcome from the people. During the year there were three baptisms in the Achnera district.

The High School. “ We have now four ' Houses ’ in the school. Keen interest is taken in the inter-house sports, especially by the junior boys, and consequently the school teams are decidedly stronger. Better than all is the proof we have that the boys are learning to ‘ play the game,’ and to set a good ex­ ample to outside teams. We are honoured to have great names connected with our houses—‘ Meston,’ ‘ Fergusson,’ and ‘ McIntosh.’ Lord Meston, in consenting to his name being used, wrote a very encouraging letter about the school. Mr. Fergusson, ‘ the Commissioner of Salt for India ’ has long been an honoured patron of the school, and it is largely due to his generosity that we now have a goodly array of prize cups ; while a very handsome shield has been presented to us by the Robert Hall Society at Cambridge. It is needless to speak of Mr. McIntosh’s fine service in the school—his ‘ child.’ “ In March Mrs. Bayley graciously unveiled our new school motto : ‘ Do it with your might.’ With this watchword we hope to go on to great things in the future. “ Perhaps the most pleasing feature of this session is the development of the hostel, under Mr. Isaac. It is full, and a remarkable spirit holds sway. The boys are proud to belong to it, and are keen to make it the best in Agra. They wear a distinctive badge and uniform. Our satis­ faction and delight can be imagined when we heard that a fund, the idea of which originated in the hostel, had been started in the school to help poor boys. “ Mr. Reynolds has started a Sunday Class especially for Christian boys, and its progress is most encouraging. Sometimes non-Christians attend it.”

BARAUT. Mr. G. Anstie Smith writes that in some respects the progress of the past year at Baraut has been phenomenal ; a comparative -state­ ment is given : 1920-21. 1921-22. 1922-23. Baptisms ...... 96 46 102 Boys attending village schools .. 268 394 599 1924.] INDIA. 37

“ There has been improvement in the quality of those coming forward for baptism this past year, but the appalling difficulty that is experienced in getting teachers and evangelists to put in any amount of spade-work in preparing candidates is one great obstacle in the establishment of strong churches from those baptized. “ During the rains the Chamars of Nala walked in twelve miles and twelve miles back on three occasions for teaching in the Way. On the third occasion a conversation took place in the following sense : ‘ Have you got any object (ulterior) in walking in all this way ? ‘ No, sir ; we have no other >aim.’ ‘ Come now, men do not give up their work without some object in view.’ ‘ No, sir ; we have been waiting for this slack time to come in to see you, and had made up our minds for some time past.’ ‘ You wouldn’t have me go out all that distance and sleep in your rough huts for the night and eat your rough food unless you were truly out for something high and holy.’ ‘ Certainly n ot; we have engaged a professional cook and will put a bed on the roof of our best house, and wave the pankah over you all night.’ With such an assurance it was impossible to hesitate, so a day was fixed and I arrived, to find the Babu in charge of the circuit there before me. Alternately singing and talking, the best part of the day was passed in telling incidents in the Great Life, and then, in the cool of the even­ ing, 16 were baptized. “ Much the same process was followed with Sherpur Lohara in a later part of the rains ; the people spent freely to provide what in their view was adequate comfort and sustenance for the visitors, without any obvious object but that of becoming part of the Christian community to which their relatives belonged. There is no lack of evidence in the district that the general methods of the Mission in its desire to raise and evangelise these people are profoundly appreciated by the two large sections of Chamars amongst which we have been at work these many years. Never were these people more ready for the glad reception of the seed of the Word. “ In the schools the advance has been excellent—in numbers and in tuitional results. The most cheering evidence of progress, however, is unquestionably the buying of little uniforms by the parents for the pupils in about half the schools ; instead of the half-naked, or raggedly-clad little urchins that clustered round the master, you can now see schools where 75 per cent, of the boys are wearing neat little khaki shorts, decorated with a smart piece of braid down the outer seam, and a shirt, with Shakes- peare-collar, properly tucked in. Our good neighbours the American Methodists have at last commenced to follow our lead, and are opening schools in all their larger villages; this augurs well for the future of this area—the object of much prayerful interest in the Homeland for many years past. “ The Co-operative Credit Institutions among the Christians of all denominations here have made a good beginning, and I trust will now go on to wield a great influence on their economic and collective social needs. The Tndia.n worker who has bestirred himself to organise and establish such an institution for the well-being of his people does not ring his bell in vain on Sunday evenings, and when subscriptions are wanted does not plead in vain for them. ‘ He is out to make us every way,’ they say. “ The whole work is instinct with promise, and I trust that the future may see a steady growth in the building up of this community in spiritual life and independence.” 38 ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT. [1924.

DELHI.

The Delhi Station Staff reports that the year began with much blessing, but the position became much more difficult about the middle of the year. “ This was due to what is known as the Sh^ddhi, i.e., ‘ cleansing movement ’ among the Hindus, who, claiming to be the true and original sons of India, have become very enthusiastic and have distributed money to the poor of other religions, and by so doing have added considerable numbers to their own community. One of the results has been that the common people have begun to consider others to be enemies of their country as well as of Hinduism, and the Christians have especially, come under suspicion. At the Hindu festival known as the Dasehra of Jaith, on the banks of the Jamna, the people treated the band of preachers very badly and told them plainly not to preach the Christ of Europe, nor to sell Christian books and tracts to the people who were bathing. We are disappointed by apparent failure, but we look to Christ ‘ from Whom cometh our help.’ “ In March 1922, Mr. Lai Mohammad to6k over full executive and financial control of the Mission work at Baghichi, Idgah and Karaul Bagh from Mr. Hale, whose going to England will be a great loss to the Christians of the Delhi bastis. “ The statistics of sales are as follows: Scriptures of all kinds 2,533, Hindi books and tracts, 1,536; Urdu books and tracts, 2,195 ; Religious school books, 378 ; Total, 6,642. Money realised Rs. 262-11-3. “ The baptisms for the year are as follows: Baghichi, 16; Karaul Bagh, 10 ; Idgah, 16 ; Total, 42. Two cases are particularly interesting. One is that of a Mohammedan gentleman, employed as a Government clerk, who during and after the war asked for baptism. The other is that of a Hindu, a Brahmin, who has been an enquirer for about four years, but was not prepared to be baptized, through fear and shame. Recently this man had a dream and was told to confess Christ, and from that time he has been feeling unrest within him until he is baptized.”

Shahdara Dispensary. The dispensary work has been carried on by Miss Morgan in much the same way as in other years, and the number of patients, 5,344, speaks of a busy time on the two days weekly that she visits Shahdara. Of the 21 plague patients treated, 16 recovered. The Bible class has been held as usual, and there are six members. Of the Child Welfare, Miss Morgan writes: “ The Child Welfare has been well attended, and this year our numbers in the dispensary register for eye and ear trouble have been considerably less. This shows the benefit derived from warm water and soap, and baths three times a week, for babies whose mothers are too poor to provide such luxuries. The women are beginning to appreciate the baths and attention given to small ailments at the ‘ Welfare.’ ” 1924], INDIA. 39

The Institute. “ Since the closing of the theological work the Institute has become simply a hostel for our boys who attend the schools of the Cambridge Mis­ sion. There are at present over 60 boys in the hostel, which means that it is badly overcrowded ; but even so, some have been refused admission. During his first year in a new province Mr. Carpenter has had the help of Mr. Haidar Ali, who has proved himself invaluable as helper, counsellor, munshi and friend. The scheme for a united school with the Cambridge Mission has had to undergo some modification during the course of the year, owing to the developments taking place in all college work in India. We are hopeful of being able to carry through a plan which will turn out men who will never perhaps attain to a very high position, but who will have that foundation of character which will make them the strength of the Christian Church in India.” DINAPUR. Mr. Gibson writes : “ After being engaged in school work since January, 1912, I wel­ comed the opportunity of engaging in more definitely evangelistic work that came by my transfer from Patna to Dinapur. Although I have shared in the English services, I have spent the greater part of my time in vernacular work, and with the two evangelists have preached regularly in Dinapur and the surrounding villages. The sale of a farthing gospel to a young Mussulman led to his seeking out the evangelist for further instruction, and a little later he was bap­ tized. This led to trouble in his family, and his wife threatened to leave him, but now she herself has asked to be baptized. “ Students have come, somewhat irregularly, to study the Bible. One who attended my Bible Class in Patna was a keen student, but I was quite unaware that he had seriously considered the claims of Christ. He secured his M.A. degree, and got a Government post in North Behar. He came over to see me. He said that he was entering on a new life, and he wished to declare for Christ at the commencement, and so he was baptized here. “ We have only one village school in Dinapur for boys, but recently a small school for girls has been started in Khagaul, for which the Church there provides part of the cost. “ It has been a real pleasure to have Mr. Howie here in charge of the English work. It is a heavy burden to put on one whose time is supposed to be wholly taken up with language study, but he has done well in both. I am sure his work among the British troops here has never lessened his enthusiasm for devoting himself to the wider field of making Christ known to the inhabitants of India.”

GAYA. Mr. Hicks writes that the year at Gaya has been a good one. “ In the spirit of the workers, in the amount of work done, in the number of baptisms and enquirers, in the growth and unity of the Church, and in contributions, there has been definite advance, and a very cheerful hope is felt as to the future. 40 ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT. [1924.

“ The number of baptisms—27 (apart from those at the Leper Asylum)— and the fact that among them were Brahmins and a Kayasth, as well as Rajwars and Dorns, has quickened the Church’s expectation. Two women were among the number, one as the outcome of the ladies’ work in Gaya. “ One of the Brahmins found his way into Gaya, and eventually to the feet of Jesus, as the result of faithful service and much self-denial on the part of some of the evangelists and colporteurs. The story is worthy of record. The Rajgir mêla—a very big one, and held triennially—fell this year in May and June. A blazing sun, and the police having instructions to keep all crowds on the move, made preaching work exceptionally difficult. I asked for volunteers. Five of the men came forward, and of these four remained at Rajgir for twelve days. If was as trying an experience as our workers have had. They sold some 3,300 Gospels and 50 New Testa­ ments, and one of their listeners was a Brahmin Sadhu—a matriculate— whose heart the Lord touched. He, later on, followed the evangelists to Gaya. They took him in, instructed him, the Church became convinced he was genuine, determined to bear half his support while under instruction, and finally passed him for baptism. He is now engaged in teaching daily a class of lepers and, meanwhile, is a candidate for training as an evangelist. “ The other Brahmin was so strict that the touch of a Christian or a Christian’s book sent him precipitately to the river for cleansing. One day he yielded to a voice which told him to buy from the colporteur a New Testament, and his simple description of the result, as told naïvely to me, was ‘ he found peace.’ He found his way to Gaya, and it was another humble colporteur who ‘ found ’ him, and brought him to the Mission House. He also is hoping to serve God as an evangelist, and until the way is opened for his training the Church is continuing to support him. The Leper Asylum. “ The numbers have increased to 230. Of the total number of bap­ tisms this year, 19 were lepers. An Out-patient Dispensary has been opened in the town. The new quarters for the Nurse have been completed, and the homes for the untainted children of lepers are well on the way also. The Christians have been formed into a church, and attached to the Central Church. The lepers’ allowance is but 2fd. per day, yet Rs. 36 of the increase in the Church’s contributions this year has come from this source. Three more children have been declared cured, and sent away to school. “ There has been a distinct growth in Church life, a keener realisation that the work of the Mission is the Church’s task. And I have not had to adjudicate in one quarrel throughout the year ! ” KASAULI. Mr. C. H. Williams writes : “ After years of waiting and working, our little Church stands as a proof of God’s over-ruling Providence. A building had long been needed for our Hindustani Baptist Church and the Indian Christian community. Early in the present year, the contract was given out, and now the building itself is nearly completed. During the recent visit of the Indian Secretary, the Rev. John Reid, it was found pos­ sible to hold a dedicatory service in the new Church. “ The Church stands in a good position, conveniently situated for the people, and will be a witness to nearly all who come up the hill to Kasauli, 1924.] INDIA. 41

as it is just above the main, road to the station. It will cost over Rs. 10,000. The people are poor, but are pledged to do their part, and some have already given liberally, but the bulk of the cost will have to be raised by the mission- ary-in-charge. To meet the contractor’s needs a loan has been, raised, which will be repaid as fast as it can be collected. “ The general work of the Mission has been maintained during the year. The first place has been given to evangelistic work. For our Indian Christians there have been regular services at Kasauli, Kalka and Dharm- pore, and in the former place the community has reached a record number, though when winter comes on many will return to the plains. For the non-Christian community our efforts have been given to regular preaching in the bazaars, winter tours, and visiting the mêlas on the hills and plains round Kasauli and Kalka. “ Our soldiers have rallied to the meetings of the Soldiers’ Christian Association, and the Kasauli branch of the I.B.R.A. has retained its usual membership. Twelve little Sunday Schools, with a total of 289 scholars, have been conducted during the year, of which one for was the soldiers’ children in Kasauli, two were for the children of Indian Christians, and nine for the children of the non-Christian community. “ The number of baptisms was smaller than usual, but all the candi­ dates were from the Hindu and Mohammedan communities, and there arc others now being prepared for this privilege. The Mission House debt has been cleared, and a good substantial property in fine repair now belongs to the Mission. It is a pleasure to report that Kasauli has made a record, both in what the Indian Church gave, and in the amount that was raised for B.M.S. work and purposes by our local efforts, and by our European friends and congregations. “ Superstition and idolatry, caste and error still abound. On my way to Kalka, I overtook a man who said he was going on pilgrimage to Hardwar, to cast five or six teeth of a recently cremated friend upon the waters of the Ganges, so that his friend might be helped in the other world through this act. How different the departure and hope of the Christian ! Assistant Missionary Khiyali Ram gave a wonderful proof of this at his Home-Call in April. He had served the Master in our Mission, faithfully, consistently and loyally, for about twenty-five years, and after some months of suffering in pain and increasing weakness he was about to depart to be with Christ. He was calm and quiet during his last few days despite his severe pain. His last words to his children were : ‘ Children, do not forsake Jesus, even if you have to face death for His sake. Jesus Himself is sal­ vation. In whatever life He comes, salvation comes. That life is cleansed from all impurity. This is the New Birth. I have fought the great fight and now go to join the glory of the Saviour. Do not weep nor be in trouble. May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be upon you. Farewell ! ’—and in a few moments he departed to be with Christ.”

MONQHYR. Mr. Stuart writes : “ Last year we very gladly reported tlie addition of Mrs. Bion and Mr. Howie to the European staff ; this year we have to record the loss of both. Mr. Howie was transferred in March to take over the military work in Dinapur. Mrs. Bion has received the ‘ Home- Call,’ and to us it seems impossible that her voice will never again C 42 ONE HÜNDRED AND THIRTY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT. [1924. be heard pleading with men and women to yield themselves to the Saviour. • “ We have sought to carry on intensive rather than extensive work in the villages, and have addressed ourselves to the more promising and ‘ get-at-able ’ villages between Jamalpur and Kiul. Our centres have been Kajra, Basauni and Barmasia. “ At Kajra the work among the low caste Musahars seemed to give much promise, and the Indian workers were sure that the harvest of much persevering work was at last to be reaped. The higher castes, however, spread lying tales among the ignorant low caBtes to prevent their receiving the truth. Here the story was that we would first teach their children to read, and then kidnap them for service in the British Army. Very largely as a result of Mrs. Stuart’s medical work, in which we all helped, opposition was broken down. Even the high castes sought medical help, while the poor folk began to realise that the Sahib and Mem Sahib, who washed the filthy sores of out-castes, could not be anything less than their friends. At Barmasia we look forward hopefully to success among the low castes, and at Basauni a number of folk are interested. “ In this part pf our district thore are a large number of widely scat­ tered Santali villages where the people have shown a general willingness to listen. One village finally promised to bring the question before the ‘ Chau- rasi,’ or district meeting. Representatives from about forty villages were present, and they discussed the question with us. They promised that though they could say nothing about either accepting or refusing the Gospel, we were at perfect liberty to preach in any of their villages, and there should be no opposition. We ask no more than that.”

PATNA. The Church. The work of the Church in Patna is being carried on at three centres. At Bakarganj, where the main congregation meets, the services have been well maintained. There have been eleven additions to the Church, six of which were upon confession of faith through baptism. All were from the Indian Christian community. The second centre is in the part of the new city known as Gardanibagh. Services have been resumed again at the special request of a number of families, and have been carried on regularly for some months. A desire has also been expressed by the community there to have a building of their own, and it is hoped that soon active steps may be taken with this end in view. The services are at present held in a house. A Sunday School has been started for the Christian children of that district. This is carried on by members of the congregation. The third centre is at Gulzarbagh, where the community is very small. Services have been held on Sunday mornings, and have been appre- ciatëd by those who attended. Evangelistic Work. “ A party of workers went to Sonepur Mêla in November, and had a very different reception from that of the previous year. The people ì 1924.] INDIA. 43

were much more ready to listen, and the sales of books were much better. Bazaar preaching has been carried on in Patna City and in Bankipur. A number of small mêlas have been attended, and some visits have been made to the out-stations. In all 1,642 Bibles, New Testaments, and portions of Scripture have been sold, and a good number of other books and tracts. The Biblewomen in Patna itself have all found access to a number of new houses. There have been quite a number of enquirers throughout the year. The educated Indian seems to be reading the Bible more and more. A special mission was held for ten days in November, particularly for the boys and girls in the boarding schools. The missioner was Mr. R. T. Archi­ bald, M.A., of the Children’s Special Service Mission. The Boys’ Boarding School. “ In the Boys’ Boarding School the number of scholars was 46, and in the hostel for students attached to the school there were 13 students who were attending one or other of the high schools or colleges in the town. The number of hostel boarders fully taxes the accommodation available. One boy obtained a Government scholarship. In the spring a provincial Scouts Rally was held in Patna, and this aroused the boys’ enthusiasm for that organisation. After the rally one of the hostel students took the scoutmaster’s training, and a troop has been formed in the school. A Wolf Cub pack has also been formed among the younger boys. The usual arrangements for devotions in the school have been continued. Mr. Lund has also instituted evening prayer for the hostel students in his house.” SIMLA. Mr. McIntosh writes that the Indian Church register shows a mem­ bership of 37, and the services have been very well attended during the season. “ Mr. Hillson, B.A., the Honorary Pastor, resigned at the beginning of the year, and the Church invited our assistant mis­ sionary, Mr. Salamat Ali Khan, to succeed him, and under the tact of the new pastor, peace and harmony have prevailed. “ Some members of the Church have sought to Christianise their heathen neighbours, and have induced eleven to be baptized. It is a good sign when an Indian Church shows an interest in the evangelisation of their neighbours. Frequently we have had members of the Church helping US in our evangelistic efforts in the Bazaars. “ The Mission Middle School, under Mr. J. I. Hasler, B.A., has been making steady progress. This year it earned a monthly educational grant of Rs. 201, which is nearly double what it received last year. This reflects credit on the management and staff. The highest number on the rolls has been 132. There are eight teachers on the staff, five of whom are Christians. The interest taken in the Scripture lessons is a marked feature in the school.”

WO gratifying facts find prominence in the reports of the year’s work in Ceylon. The first is the record of the evangelistic campaign which was opened early in 1922, and which came T to a close, as far as the formal plan was concerned, at the end of 1923. Seven churches, ten mission stations and fifteen schools were visited, and everywhere the results were renewed consecration and hope. Side by side with this effort we place the inauguration of the Ceylon Baptist Sustentation Fund, “ to develop a spirit of self- support and self-government, to extend evangelistic efforts in Ceylon, and to help the Home Society by relieving it of some of its financial burden.” The aim is a capital sum of 30,000 rupees, of which over 22,500 have already been promised : and the missionaries derive great encouragement and confidence from the generous self-sacrifice which made such progress possible. Two stations formerly worked by the Friends’ Mission, Mirigama and Rosemarkie, were taken over during the year, and the first report from Mirigama is quoted on page 47. It is also gratifying to be able to state that at last, after many years, the Missionary staff in Ceylon is up to its full strength. The situation has not been so favourable in this respect since Bruce Ether- ington was called away from the task he loved so well, and there is every reason for confidence that in the days immediately before us the Ceylon Mission will enter upon a new era of development and progress. With adequate leadership, and with self-sacrifice and devotion in the churches, it will go far to justify the faith and realise the vision of those who in early days saw the City of God rise resplen­ dent in that isle of many memories and many hopes.

COLOMBO AND DISTRICT. Mr. Radley writes : “ The year has on the whole been one of real encouragement and steady advance. We were glad to welcome in November last Miss Lockhart and Mr. Chapman (accompanied by his daughter) who came as a deputation from the Home Society. Our friends visited every part of the Field, and were able to obtain some insight into the work of the Ceylon Mission. Opportunity was taken of their visit to hand over formally the B.M.S. Station at Pelahela to the Lanka Baptist Mission, which Society from January, 1923, has become responsible

for the work there. It is a distinct sign of progress on the part of the local Lanka Baptist Mission that they should be able to relieve the Society on the one hand, assuming new responsibilities on the other. “ The Buddhist revival and opposition has not slackened; on the contrary it has rather become intensified. Notwithstanding this, school work has been steadily maintained, and, with one exception, all the schools show signs of increase and improvement. “ The Evangelistic Campaign commenced early in 1922 has been carried forward with vigour. Mr. T. A. de Silva and his helper, Mr. D. D. S. Thomas, have been fully occupied, and places as widely apart as Balangoda, Kekirawa and Chilaw, etc., have been visited. “ In April one of the veterans of the Mission—Rev. Henry de Silva—passed to his reward. He had retired only at the end of the previous year, after many years’ loyal service to Christ and the Mis­ sion. A further heavy loss was that of our Literary Adviser and Theological Tutor, Mr. S. de Saram, who passed away in October. “ At Kotikawatte, Mr. J. W. Perera reports a successful year’s ■work. The Church has promised to raise a sum of Rs. 2,130 50 cts. for the Sus- tentation Fund. The Grand Pass and Wellawatte Churches are still pastorless, but have given a call to Mr. A. D. J. Perera, which he has ac­ cepted. Mr. M. H. P. de Silva of Mattakkuliya reports the conversion under striking circumstances of a Buddhist woman. Several have joined the church on profession of faith. At Biyanwila Mr. A. R. Gunasekera reports a successful year. Several baptisms have taken place. Mr. D. T. jayasuriya of Gonawela tells of useful extension work commenced and carried on by the Church ; and Mr. Senapatiratne has now been settled at Madampe for one year, during which period he has met with encouraging success. Colportage has also been vigorously carried on.” Evangelistic Work. “ During the Rev. J. A. Ewing’s absence from Ceylon on furlough since last December, the Rev. H. J. Charter kept in touch with our evan­ gelistic work in Colombo, and some district work. At Dematagoda a site for a Mission Hall has been gifted to the B.M.S. by Mrs. Gunaratna, a Baptist lady, and the Tamil Church at Col petty are on the look out for a suitable site for a small chapel there. This Tamil congregation, which meets in a rented house, is increasing, and there are seven or eight candi­ dates for baptism. Mr. Edward reports the conversion of a Hindu family and of a Roman Catholic woman. Mrs. Charter goes regularly to the weekly sewing meeting, where the ladies of the Church are working to accumulate a Building Fund. At Kandana Mr. Perera has re-opened the Sunday School, and now they have from 20 to 30 children, chiefly Buddhist, and the rest Roman Catholic. A few services have been held this year at Agalawatte, where new prospects of work have opened up. It was decided by Conference to station a worker there next year. “ We are co-operating with the Wesleyan Mission in holding services in English among educated prisoners at the Welikade Jail, the largest prison in Ceylon, and occasionally one haa the pleasure of holding a Magic Lantern Gospel Meeting at the Leper Asylum at Hendala, and the Home for Incurables in Colombo.” 1924.] CEYLON. 47

Boys’ High School and Hostel. Mr. Spooner writes ? “ The number on the roll has been steadily maintained, although no less than 47 boys have been withdrawn, of whom only four had completed our curriculum. The remainder are accounted for, as to one-fourth of the total, by removal to schools of their own religion ; by removal to second­ ary schools, change of residence, and the necessities of parents for the boys’ earnings. “ We were fortunate in securing the services of Mr. D. J. Setunga on the staff; an experienced Scout Master, he has resuscitated our Scout Troop, which is now doing good work. By the greatly appreciated help of the Mayor of Colombo we have at last been able to arrange for a share in the use of a cricket ground in the Municipal Park nearest the school. “ The Boys’ Hostel maintains its usefulness. The installation of electric lighting meets a long-felt want of safety and efficiency. The boya of their freewill again made a contribution to Mission Funds of the cost of a portion of their food, of which they denied themselves during ‘ Self- denial and Gift Week.’ The Sunday School Union Examinations were held recently, when a satisfactory proportion of the boys sufficiently ad­ vanced in English were candidates.”

MIRIGAMA DISTRICT. The work in this comparatively new district is fairly well organ­ ised now, and is carried on regularly within a radius of ten miles. “ Two stations of long standing, viz., Veyangoda and Beligodapitiya, at a distance of 8 and 27 miles respectively, have been added to and looked after from this centre, and three others belonging to the Colombo District, one at a distance of 20 miles, and the other two beyond 40 miles, have'also had some supervision from here, on account of the absence of the Rev. J. A. Ewing on furlough. “ There was a number who, like Nicodemus, paid us nocturnal visits, and one of them, a young Buddhist priest, after a number of such visits, was so convinced that Jesus Christ alone could save him from sin that, in the teeth of much opposition, he disrobed himself, and went away to his parents as a layman. The surprise that it gave and the indignation that it provoked could be better imagined than said, but being advised to exer­ cise great patience through faith and prayer, he remains so far quite faithful. He visits us from time to time for further instruction with a view to bap­ tism in the near future.”

KANDY DISTRICT, MATALE. Mr. Pearce writes : “ With only some minor exceptions the work everywhere has been well maintained, and in places there has been a march forward. We have undergone much active opposition in connection with several of our schools, one having been virtually closed, though we have not actually relinquished it. The reason for this opposition was that fifteen of the elder scholars avowed their desire to follow Christ,, and 48 ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT. [1924

the parents and leaders, becoming alarmed, took steps to prevent our work going forward. The other matter which has fallen below the usual level of activity has been that of evangelistic tours in the outlying districts. This year unprecedented rain has been experienced during the whole of the six months which is our best period for touring. “ The Evangelistic Campaign has been attended with much blessing at all our stations. Quite a number of decisions have been recorded, chiefly among the scholars, but also among men and women in the villages. These are under instruction wherever possible. “ Mr. S. R. Perera of Matale is able to report progress all round, and the Church has prospered under his care. Five have been baptized. The Church is working rapidly on towards complete independence. Mr. W. A. Peiris at Gampola mentions four persons who are to be baptized shortly. The little church there suffered the loss of one of its principal members, who has left by his will a paddy (rice) field for the support of the work of the Church. English services have been commenced and conducted monthly during the year, mainly with the help of Mr. Dant, and the attendances have been encouraging. Mr. S'. Romanis Perera reports progress and opposition in his large jungle district in Kekirawa. Mr. S. J. de S. Weera- einghe took up work at Elwela in July. Since his coming a very encour­ aging beginning has been made both with the Sunday School and with the Sunday Service. “ The two colporteurs, three teacher evangelists, and four Bible teachers are all doing faithful work.”

SABARAGAMUWA DISTRICT. Mr. Hadley writes : “ Church work has been carried on energetically, and the three small Churches in the Province have made some progress. Since the Campaign, special efforts have been put forth in each area to ‘ follow up ’ the work done. A number of baptisms have taken place at Ratnapura and Balangoda. “ Our Churches and Mission stations are far apart, some being over 25 miles from the centre. The problem we are facing is the reaching of the people, not only in the Churches and Mission areas, but in between as well, the linking up of church with church and station with station. Even when this is done there are other areas where we should commence work, such as Godakawela, Madampe, Rakwana, Hapugastenne, Karawita, Kiriella, Dehiowita, Karawanalla, Kaltota, etc. “ I have been able to devote most of my Sundays to the various out- stations, and it has been a joy to minister to the congregations there assem­ bled. I have also been able to visit each of the schools at leaBt once a month. “ Mr. J. A. Markus of Talawltlya has a weekly Bible class for teachers, where also Buddhists attend. A monthly visit is paid to Beruwana estate, and he is also working among the Rodiyas. Mr. F. A. Peiris at Pelmadulla reports the establishment of a Church at this station, and the regular ad­ ministration of the Lord’s Supper. Two converts have been won from amongst the boys in the school. Mr. Fernando of Balangoda, since his removal to this station in February, ha3 commenced special work in two 1924.] CEYLON. 49

adjacent villages in addition to the regular work of the station. Regular work is also carried on at the Government Hospital among the Sinhalese and Tamil patients. Mr. R. W. Perera came to Avissawela from Kekirawa in January last. He reports an average attendance at the Sunday school of 17 children, most of whom come regularly. There are several enquirers, who he trusts will be coming forward shortly. He holds regular meetings on a rubber estate, while from time to time visits are paid to the Hospital. “ Colportage work has been well maintained, and about 2,700 Gospel portions, etc., as well as a large number of Christian books, have been distributed.” KANDY. Mr. Dant writes : “ The services have been well maintained, both in English and Sinhalese, and the attendance has been good despite a year of unprece­ dented rainfall. The regular weekly prayer meeting has been a source of real blessing, and the cottage meetings, held almost weekly, have proved very acceptable. “ During the year four persons confessed their faith in the Saviour by baptism. The young Buddhist referred to in last year’s report has become definitely a candidate for baptism, and, true sign of his earnestness, has persuaded three of his Buddhist friends to join him in the search for truth. Mr. Joseph is conducting a weekly class for these four young men. “ The Evangelistic Campaign meetings, conducted by the Rev. T. A. de Silva in Sinhalese, were so well attended that the campaign was extended for several days. “ Over Rs.205 were collected for the B.M.S. Self-Denial week, and the Church willingly undertook to raise the proportion of the Sustentation Fund allocated to it, in addition to giving substantial support to other funds. “ The Sunday School work has been enthusiastically carried on, and the number of teachers has increased, thus making it possible to form f mailer and more efficient classes. The teachers take a keen interest in the work, and eagerly attend the preparation class which Mrs. Dant conducts weekly. “ Our church possesses the only organised Band of Hope in the town, and Miss Annie Pate is doing a good piece of work as the leader of this temperance cause.” 50 ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT.

OWHERE is the call of the King’s High Way more clear than it is in China. It passes through populous cities and wide districts unevangelised, and larger areas so weakly held that N aggressive work seems almost impossible. It challenges all our resources, evangelistic, educational, literary, and medical, so extensive is the front and so various are the needs ; but when we consider the position of the Chinese people among the nations of mankind, the vital importance of the leaven of Christianity to a nation that numbers one-fourth of the population of the world, and the shining fact that to-day there is a Christian Church of China, we feel that the challenge is imperative indeed. The Rock has opened to our Master, and the Road calls urgently for all the love and loyalty of His friends and followers. In many of the Provinces disorder is still rampant, owing to the weakness of the Central Government; and there are sections of our own sphere where Christian workers have to avail themselves of a military escort in order to visit outstations. But behind the tumult and disorder, the forces of the Prince of Peace are working steadily, with many cheering signs to show the progress made. The extracts from the Reports sent home by various stations show how widely the self-support movement is spreading among the mission churches of China. It is illustrated very conclusively in our own mission, and is a fact which gives great satisfaction to the missionaries on the field and to the administrators at home. Then there are Christians in the Cabinet at Peking, and a Chinese Christian General, with a Chinese army largely Christian, is one of the stirring portents of the time. In connection with our own work we find other proofs of progress in the presence of two Chinese students at Regent’s Park College, young men trained in our mission and eager to return to China for higher service in its enterprise ; and another sign may be discerned in the fact that the Shantung Christian University has adopted the principle of co-education, and has admitted women students to its Medical School. For in China, with its ancient regard for learning and its reverence for thought, Christian education must be one of the chief agencies in the opening up of the King’s High Way,

51 52 ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT. [1924.

In 1923 the Mission suffered a severe loss by the death of Mr. Donald Smith, in charge of the northernmost centre of our work in China. This devoted worker, a man of prayer in every detail of his life, re­ mained at his lonely post to the last, and was granted the joy of seeing the fulfilment of his dream of winning fifty converts for his Master during the year. He went to lay his charge at his Master’s feet, and for a while the work at Yenanfu was without a leader; but Mr. and Mrs. H. W. Burdett, of Sianfu, have now accepted the challenge of the lonely outpost, and have asked to be sent to fill the need. It is a decision which entails much sacrifice, but the King’s High Way cannot be followed without sacrifice. The stained footprints lead on over the rocks of Shensi as well as through the dust of Bengal. One of the pioneers of the work in Shantung, the Rev. J. S. White- wright, after forty-two years of active service, has now returned to his work at Tsinanfu, hiding the sorrow of his recent bereavement in fresh devotion to his missionary plans for China, and to the unique institution which he founded, formerly known as the Gotch Robinson Institute and Museum, now the Extension Department of the Shan­ tung Christian University. Mr. Whitewright brought special gifts to be wrought into the fabric of the Mission, and it is impossible to calculate the value of his contribution in bridging the galf between East and West in Shantung, and breaking down that wall of prejudice which was such a barrier to intercourse and teaching. The fame of bis Institute is nation-wide, and some excellent judges have declared it to be one of the most important Christian activities in the whole of China. Its creator and curator for so many years deserves the good wishes of all of us as he resumes his duties after furlough. The Yellow River, “ China’s Sorrow,” devastated Shantung in 1921 by flood and famine, and our missionaries in the stricken area were called upon to spend many months in relief work among the famished peasantry. During this last year the repair of the river bank brought 20,000 labourers to the district, and at the request of the contractors Mr. A. E. Greening was appointed for welfare and evangelistic work in the camps. At his suggestion the Y.M.C.A. leaders were called in and the work thoroughly organised on an adequate scale, greatly to the satisfaction of the directors. Pastors Yang Ching Wen and Wang Shou Li were of great service in this enterprise, and there is no doubt that the work done will have a favourable effect in the future throughout our field in Shantung. But another call of the Higb Way comes from this effort, for it has made clear, in Mr. Greening’s opinion, “ the need of a real evangelistic campaign in the whole of the districts that were flooded.” Those plains are rejoicing in splen­ did harvests to-day as a result of the floods, even barren land having been made abundantly fruitful; and there is another harvest waiting when the call has been heard. 1924.] CHINA. 53

SHANTUNG. B,M.S. WORK IN TSINAN FU. Rev. Henry Payne writes :■ South Suburb Church “ This Church reports a year of steady growth, with well-attended services and 47 baptisms daring the year. Last July they erected a small manse for their Pastor, who is one of our best Baptist graduates. The Church has also built premises to accommodate a boys’ primary school. This community is part of the indigenous church of China. It is raising its working expenses (nearly £100 per annum) on the spot. The membership roll stands at 432, and shows a net increase for the year of over forty. The Soldiers' Institute. “ This work was started by means of the Arthington Fund, to reach the soldiers stationed in the camp. The current expenses have been found by the Military and Civil Governors of Tsinan, which fact speaks volumes for their confidence in our work and methods. On Sundays a Bible Class and a preaching service are held, and during the week, on occasion, addresses are given. A Vacation Day School for poor children was held during July and part of August. West Suburb Preaching Hall. “ Solid work continues to be done at this centre, under the guidance of Pastor Chang. Practically every night in the year the Hall is comfortably filled with business men. On three evenings every week a Bible study class is held, and every Tuesday there is a Women’s meeting. This meeting is under the care of Mrs. Pailing, who also takes oversight of and guides the Chinese Bible-woman working in the City.” TSINAN INSTITUTE. (Extension Department of the Shantung Christian University). The Report of the work of the Tsinan Institute is also written by Mr. Payne, as Acting Director during Mr. Whitewright’s absence in England. “ The daily stream of eager and interested visitors to the Institute has never been so great. For the first time in its history more than half a million people during the year came through the turnstile leading into the Museum. The actual figures are :—Men, 460,055 ; Women, 50,397 ; Total, 510,452. The people attending our Sunday services do not enter by the turnstile, and if the number of these— 61,472—be added, we have the large total of 571,924. 54 ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT. [1924.

“ All who attend the Sunday services receive definite Christian teach­ ing, and of the people visiting the Museum, 65 per cent, listened to an address on the Gospel. “ It is difficult not to appear to exaggerate when speaking of the Evan­ gelistic opportunities offered by the Museum. In the West one usually associates the word ‘ Museum ’ with a place full of musty catalogued ex­ hibits, mostly ancient curios. The Tsinan Museum is not like that. It is a living thing whose whole appeal is to the as yet unenlightened man of Cathay. It keeps on saying to him ‘ Wake up, and see if there is not a better way of life for y ou ! 5 The place well deserves its Chinese name, which means ‘ Wisdom-Diffusing Hall.’ “ The Museum is a powerful magnet. We do not need to go out and seek our audience. It is drawn to us, and is representative of every class. Some idea of the evangelistic opportunities given to us may be gathered from the fact that in the small lecture hall no less than 2,468 Gospel addresses were given during 1923. In addition we have 225 lectures and addresses delivered during the Sundays of the year. “ Every Sunday evening nearly 300 children, mostly from non-Christian homes, are being instructed in Christian truth. Quite 500 men are coming regularly to our Sunday evening lantern service.

Non-Chinese Visitors. “ The great majority of non-Chinese visitors are from Japan. On . several occasions we have 'been privileged to welcome parties of professors and Students from such institutions as the Tokio Imperial University, and the Mukden Japanese Medical College. Most of the Western travellers visiting the Orient come to Shantung and stay in Tsinan. They then naturally come to the Institute. Our ‘ Visitors’ Book ’ records the names of 376 such distinguished strangers during the year. Missionaries from other parts of China also visit us and become interested in our aims and methods. As a result of these visits, institutions working on similar lines have been established in several other Chinese centres.

New Equipment, “ Our newest exhibit is a ‘ Boy Scout Model ’ which illustrates the life and activities of the Boy Scouts. This movement is just beginning in China, and needs good guidance so that it may become of moral worth to the nation. Another new model illustrates the Development of Writing. Our Natural History section has been reinforced by the coming of a fine ten-foot sturgeon from the Yellow River, and our new charts and diagrams are ‘ too numerous to mention.5 Special Lectures. “ The weekly lectures for Government and private-school students have shown a wide range of interests. Once a month the lecture was for women, when such subjects as Health in the Home, First Aid, ‘ What to Do Before the Doctor Arrives,’ Woman’s Position and Responsibility in China To-day, etc., were considered. The Bible. “ Over 12,000 portions ox Scripture (mostly Gospels and Acts) were sold in the Institute during the year. These Gospels are always sold after a Gospel address has been given, when the listeners are urged to carry home a copy of the Word and study it at their leisure. There is a Biblical section, 1924.] CHINA. 55

where several hundred different versions of the Sacred Book can be seen. In addition, there are beautifully illuminated Scripture texts in Chinese on most of the walls. One day we discovered an old Chinese countryman laboriously oopying some of these illuminated texts into a small book. He had just written in the words ‘ God saw everything that he had made, and behold it was very good.’ We asked him why he was copying out these words. ‘ So that I may have some of your Classics in my home,’ said he. “ Three Bible classes per week have been conducted on the Institute premises, one of them in English. The English class has been studying the Gospel of St. Mark, and the 24 students that compose it all belong to Government or Private schools. “ An interesting experiment in newspaper evangelism was made during the summer months, when about thirty articles dealing with the Christian religion were inserted in two of the Tsinan daily newspapers. The Editor of one of these papers, having been an in-patient in the Uni­ versity Hospital, had become an earnest Christian. The articles attracted some attention, and evidenced that the reading public is quite willing to consider the arguments which the exponents of our religion may set forth.”

T5INGCH0WFU AND THE EASTERN ASSOCIATION.

Rev. E. F. Borst Smith writes : “ Nineteen-twenty-three is the first year in which the Mission has had no responsibility whatever for Church organisation or finance in the Eastern Association. The Rev. L. S. Meng, the new Super­ intending Pastor, has acquitted himself well, and has been re-elected. Moreover, the Northern Association, after watching the experiment in the East for some time, has decided to adopt the same method, and has now elected its own outstanding Pastor, the Rev. S. L. Wang, as its District Superintendent.” It is to be hoped that in time the other Associations will follow. “ Although the increase in membership has not been large, there haa been an increase of 33, bringing the Church Roll for the Eastern Association up to 2,574. But the real success has been in the growth of initiative and the sense of responsibility. In several of the Circuits that make up this Association, Voluntary Preaching Bands have been organised, and so an emphasis is gradually being placed on a third essential of an indigenous Church, viz., Self-propagation. “ Many thousands of people from the surrounding country have visited the Museum, where the Evangelists engage in personal work and public preaching. “ A new development has been the organisation of an open air service on Sunday afternoons in the grounds of the local Y.M.C.A. These meetings will be restarted in the early spring. On Sunday mornings 180 boys from a local factory continue to come to us for a service. “ We estimate that there have been 39,750 attendances at the Reading and Games rooms. This work keeps us in contact with the Government students, and gives us some recruits for Bible Classes, which this year have had a total attendance of 7,875.” 56 ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT. [1924.

The Rev. A. J. Gamier sends the following notes on Educational work in Tsingchowfu : “ Some of the Village Schools in the Tsingchowfu District have had to be closed during a certain part of the year, on account of the unrest due to the lawless condition of the country, especially in the eastern part of our Field. The work has nevertheless been carried on, and, if our resources permitted it, we could open many more Village Schools. The need of a foreign worker, giving all his time to Village Schools, is still one of our chief needs. “ The Eastern Association has now three 4 Model Schools,’ one in the County city of Linchih, one in that of Lin Ch’ii, and one in Tsingchowfu city. We are hoping to try an experiment during the coming year, by which our Village Schools in the Eastern Association -will be regularly in­ spected by the Pastors of the various churches. This, we hope, will bring the local churches and the local schools into much closer contact, to the benefit of both. “ The Gotch Robinson High School has now 208 boys, all boarders, with the exception of five or six whose homes are close to our premises in the city. It is a source of gratification that we have been able to repay, during this year, $1,400 on account, in respect of the overdraft for the special renovation of our premises. “ From the academic point of view, this year has been a successful year, although there is plenty of room for improvement. Of the senior boys, only one failed to obtain the School Certificate last June, while eight out of nine of the boys entered the University in September. Three of these won scholarships : two, both from Peichen, won medical scholarships, and the third was awarded the Marnham Scholarship to the School of*Arts and Science.”

NORTHERN ASSOCIATION (PEICHEN).

The Rev. A. E. Greening reports that the work to which the Mission appointed him for 1923 included Evangelistic Work at the Yellow River Repair Camp, Superintendence of the building of the Peichen chapel, and the work of the Religious Instruction Department. The story of the Repair Camp has already been told in the Herald, and we need do no more here than quote Mr. Greening’s conclusions. “ The labourers among whom we worked came from a dozen different comities of this Province, while over a thousand came from the Province of Honan. The witness borne to Jesus before these many men must bear fruit, although at present we do not see special results. The effort has made clear the importance of a real advance evangelistic campaign in the whole of the lately flooded districts. “ The repair of the break has been a great boon to the people, and the flooded regions are rejoicing in splendid harvests except in one section beyond the protecting banks. Some districts where there was much salt land which could not produce any harvest have now been made fruitful by the deposit of from one to two feet of good silt. In this way the river has brought blessing to the salt lands. The people of this whole district do much appreciate the help of the Christian Church in its generous famine- relief work, in which our own Mission bore so great a part.” 1924.] CHINA. 57

The New Chapel at Peichen. “ The Northern Association has waited for many long years for its central chapel. Now at last the building has been erected and opened for worship. “ In October there were great doings at the opening ceremony, friends coming from Tsinan, Choutsun, and Tsing Chou to share in the rejoicings. Mrs. Paterson kindly and graciously performed the ceremony of opening the door, and Messrs. Borst-Smith, Castleton, Payne, Rowley and Harris took part with myself in the meetings. The first week was taken up with a special evangelistic campaign. The building is very good both for speaking and hearing, and will seat about 300 people. This House of God is simple and plain, but still is the handsomest building anywhere in the neighbourhood. The total cost is $4,638. “ Pastor Wang Shou Li has been most energetic in all the arrange­ ments for the work and its oversight. A tablet is to be put up in the Chapel to the memory of the 100 martyrs who gave their lives for the sake of the Gospel in the year 1900.” There is urgent need of a Hospital in this northern field of Shan­ tung.

Religious Instruction. “ Though the Chinese Church is taking a larger share of responsi­ bility, there is one task in particular in which the missionary is still needed in the areas occupied by the Church, namely Religious Instruc­ tion in certain of its phases, but conducted in such a way as not to impair the autonomy of the Church or undermine the sense of responsi­ bility properly felt by the Chinese pastors. “ A beginning has been made with this work in the Northern Associa­ tion by the holding of special classes for Voluntary Workers, men who will be able to lead worship in their own villages and carry on aggressive evan­ gelistic propaganda among the non-Christians. Classes are to be held twice a year during the farmers’ slack season, and at two places, one at Peichen in the North and the other at Choutsun and Tsingchowfu alter­ nately. The' first class was held at Peichen last March. In April a class was held in Tsingchowfu for the Eastern, Western and Southern Associa­ tions. The Autumn Classes for the North were held in November, and the class for the East, West, and South at Choutsun during December and January. All the men showed great interest in all the subjects. “ The total number of men who have attended the classes is 103, coming from the various Association districts as below : Eastern Association (Tsingchowfu) .. .. 39 Northern Association (Peichen) ...... 38 Western Association (Tsouping) ...... 16 Southern Association (Choutsun) ...... 10 “ It is the intention to arrange for definite evangelistic campaigns in which these men will take part. The pastors of the Eastern Associatior\ have already organised voluntary preaching bands,” 58 ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT. [1924.

SOUTHERN ASSOCIATION (CHOUTSUN),

The Rev. J. S. Harris, who reports on the evangelistic work in Choutsun, writes that the regular work has been maintained under the care of a Pastor and two evangelists. “ Some of the Bible Classes held at shops have been very encouraging. In one cage, where three Christian employers live in close proximity, it is the custom for all three staffs to meet, to resume work when the class is over. Four of the nineteen baptized this year were from this class. “ The Christians have given well towards a fund for providing a junior girls’ school, there being no such school in Choutsun under either Mission or Government auspices. “ The Southern Association has completed the raising of its share of the Church Extension Fund, viz., 875 dollars. “ The workers took part in several of the tent meetings held during the year. “ Two colporteurs employed by the British and Foreign Bible Society have gold some 8,000 Scripture Portions in the Northern Association area. The National Bible Society of Scotland has generously supplied over 20,000 Gospels, which have been nearly all sold in connection with the work in seven city centres, the tent meetings, and in Choutsun and Poshan. “ The city of Ching Cheng has a convenient set of rooms provided rent free by a group of local business men, one or two of whom received their first Christian impressions in Japan, and specially asked that a worker be sent to their city. At Kao Yuan, mainly through the exertions of the Postmaster (who became a Christian as the result of efforts made at Chout- *sun through the teaching of English) new rented premises on a central site have been secured. At Po Hsing city, thanks to the generous assistance of Miss Daintree, the work is now carried on in central rooms so situated that no one is able to pass through the town without seeing ‘ The Jesus Church.’ At Lichin, also during the present year, the local Chamber of Commerce was able to find larger and more central premises for us, which are rented. The gentry and officials of this place have been much influenced by the Relief Work done in connection with the break in the North Bank of the Yellow River, and when we had to move from the rooms previously used, they said another place must be found. Finally, a movement is now on foot to purchase some property in the large town of Sochen, local business men having already subscribed about £45 towards the cost. “ During the year nine tent meetings have been held, when for periods of from four to eight days a tent capable of seating 500 persons has been used. From 300-400 names of enquirers have been given in. Some women have brought their kitchen gods to the tent to be publicly burnt; one military official gave in his name after a two hours’ earnest talk, and later ten of his men did the same. As an outcomc of this instruction, classes in a gospel and in the Phonetic were given to some eighty soldiers and police in Hsin Cheng City this summer. Many Government School boys attended, and at one place over twenty of them, influenced by one particu­ larly earnest fellow-student, put their names down.” “ Quite recently an application was received for a few days’ meetings to be held at a village where there are no Christians, but from which some twenty men had been to a tent meeting and were too shy to put their names down. They are now most anxious for further teaching. 1924.] CHINA. 59

“ There are yet countless villages and towns in the area for which the B.M.S. has accepted responsibility in Shantung where altars are still erected to an unknown god, and where fifty-two God-appointed Rest Days pass every year with no voice raised in Christian song or prayer to bring a touch of heaven into the midst of darkness.”

“ During 1923,” writes the Rev. E. C. Smyth, “ the work in the coun­ ties of Chih chuan and Poshan, part of the Southern Association, has been chiefly in the hands of the native church, the foreigner giving his time to the development of work in the cities, and the superintendence of evan­ gelistic work at fairs and markets, and in the un-evangelised districts. During both Spring and Summer we had splendid opportunities for preaching and distributing the Word, and in many places interest was aroused in the ‘ Doctrine.’ In one village a returned coolie from France, who was baptized last year, invited us to hold special meetings which resulted in 15 names being given in as enquirers, and now worship is conducted there regularly every Sabbath.

“ Owing to the unsettled state of the Province, and the increase of banditry, we are prohibited going into the country except with an armed escort! To visit country places with an armed guard of four or five soldiers results in one of two things—probably both. First, the people’s fears are increased, or/and second, they contrast the foreigner’s lot with their own— the former able to travel about with an armed guard, whilst they . . . ! ‘ Comparisons are odious ! ’ If they could but know how little we desire that guard, and how almost certain it is that in case of trouble the guard (?) would be the first to run !

“ We are preparing for a big forward movement in the important city of Poshan. Some time ago we drew up and sent home a scheme for the development of the work in this centre, and the Society granted £400 for Institutional buildings, on the condition that the Church provided the site. The challenge was accepted, and we have already collected $800 towards the §1,000 required, with every prospect of raising the whole amount early in the coming year. “ A pleasing feature is the development of the work at Ta huang ti, a large colliery centre within five miles of Chih chuan city, where some 3,000 men are employed. The Manager, Mr. Li (from Tientsin), is a member of the American Methodist Episcopal Church, and takes an active interest in all good work. He has got into touch with many of our Christians, and has for some time worshipped with us in the city. Being, however, anxious that regular worship should be held at Ta huang ti, he, with the help of the Christians, bought suitable premises and had them put in excellent repair, the cost, including some furniture, being about £80. Further, they have engaged, at $20 per month, an evangelist, who, with his wife, an educated woman, will live on the premises, conducting meetings and holding classes in the evenings. The miners work day and night, in two shifts, so there are always some at liberty.

“ Work among the women has been carried on throughout the year under the superintendence of my wife, who also has three flourishing girls’ schools, with some 60 scholars.” 60 ONE HUNDRBD AND THIRTY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT. [1924.

SHANSI.

TAI YUAN FU.

“ In Taiyuan fu city,” writes the Rev. T. £. Lower, “ the affairs of the Church are now entirely in the hands of the Chinese. There is no foreign pastor, though one of our number has been elected as adviser to the Church. The evangelistic work of the city is develop­ ing, and a preaching hall in the centre of the city is worked by an Association elected by the members of the several Churches and Missions now working in the city. It is good to see the Chinese taking over the responsibility, and we are looking forward to the coming year, when the business of our Mission will be conducted by Joint Committees of Chinese Church Members and Missionaries. “ The city congregations have kept up well, and it has been necessary to have a separate service in the Boys’ School for some of the scholars. The coming Spring will, we hope, witness the completion of the new Memorial Church, which will provide sufficient accommodation for all who come. “ At the beginning of the year the special effort in the near villages was quite a success, so far as numbers listening are concerned. A small band of cyclists went out every day during the Week of Evangelism at the Chinese New Year, and in most villages visited there were large and atten­ tive crowds. The sale of Gospels for the week was 642. “ One new line we have taken is the visiting of School Teachers in their schools. In every case a copy of one of the Gospels has been left. Our reception has been quite cordial, as a rule. “ During the last few years other organisations have commenced work here, some being the result of natural developments in the growth of Chinese Christianity, some representing special sections of Western Christianity. These groups have gone to work in their own way, and it is not until this year that there has been a drawing together in united evangelistic efforts. “ In the Week of Evangelism at Chinese New Year, a Joint Evan­ gelistic Committee was formed, and a plan was drawn up to unite in one combined effort. There are obvious advantages in this, but the greatest gain is the presentation of a united Protestant front to the non-Christian Chinese. We have also united in evangelistic work of a more permanent character. The Apostolic Faith Mission had a preaching hall in the busiest bazaar of the city, and they approached the Joint Evangelistic Committee with the offer to share the use of this hall with the others. The B.M.S., being the strongest Mission in the city at present, contributes most towards the upkeep, and uses it two days a week, the other Societies having one day each. This is an excellent centre, and there is never any difficulty in getting an audience. “ The Training School for Evangelists carries on steady work. Most valuable work has been done in the School by Mr. Han Ch’ang Ling. Mr. Harmon has had charge of the School, in addition to his secretarial duties for the Mission, and he has had the assistance of Messrs. Fowles, Harlow and Williamson. 1924.] CHINA. 61

“ The students have had some practical experience in preaching, which will be very valuable to them later on. Some of them have accompanied Mr. Lower or Mr. Fowles for evangelistic tours, and they helped also to make the New Year Week of Evangelism a success.”

SINCHOW.

The Rev. F. W. Price writes : “ Nineteen-twenty-three constitutes a record for the Sinchow Church. Fifty-eight have been added to the Church by baptism, of whom twenty were women. Seven of these were either present or former scholars of our elementary schools. It is interesting to note that all out-stations were represented in the fifty-eight baptized, our farthest outpost being Tung Yeng, a busy market town of the county of Wu Tai Hsien, some thirty miles away. This cause contributed five to the above number. “ The story of Shang Ssu, or Upper Monastery Village, has recently been told in the Herald. In three years this little mountain village cause has grown from one member to a Church of 34. In August, before a great crowd, the first baptismal service was held, when no less than 22 followed their Lord in baptism. “ From the Sinchow City Church 14 were baptized, but many more might well have been expected in proportion to the work done here. Never­ theless, we trust that there is a leavening of the whole city going on, and that the future shall reveal a great harvest. “ Another feature of interest deserves our notice, viz., the celebration of our esteemed elder, Chao Hsia Yun’s forty years’ service in the Church in Shansi, nearly all at Sinchow. A stone tablet giving a brief account of his life and work, placed in a prominent place in the chapel, was unveiled, to the great delight of all. “ The present membership of the Sinchow Church, including all its branches, is 372. “ The Museum, with its many exhibits, though poorly housed, con­ tinues to draw large numbers. During the year no less than 22,595 have passed through these premises. “ The Orphan Society continues its good work. There are now about 60 children being cared for, and some 200 have been rescued since its in­ auguration about five years ago. “ At the Dispensary more than 2,000 doses of medicine have been dis­ pensed during the year, and the sum of $100 has been received as fees. It should be mentioned here that Dr. Stockley has favoured us with a number of visits on his motor cycle, and as far as possible he will try to do so orce a fortnight in future. Cases are sent down to Taiyuan fu Hospital when necessary. “ Classes were held here during the Summer for our school teachers from all our elementary schools. Mr. Williamson had charge of these. Classes were also conducted for evangelists. “ Seven dormitories and two class rooms have been added to our Sin­ chow Upper Elementary Boarding School. “ Between our two colporteurs 5,839 Scripture portions have been sold.” 62 ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT. [1924.

The Rev. H. T. Stonelake writes : “ We have held a series of Special Meetings in all the chief places of our district during the year. And there have been Enquirers’ Classes, Baptisms (31 men and 11 women), preaching in the open air with the help of our band of Chinese and the Tent, and also in Christian homes to the members and interested friends. “ We have now very convenient and comfortable quarters at Kuo Hsien in which to stay ourselves, and where we can carry on class-work. “ The Girls’ School is now housed just beside our rooms. “ At the end of last (Chinese) year we had to close three of our Lower Primary Schools for boys ; this was a set-back, but it was necessary in order to keep our expenditure within the Allocation, and although in two cases the schools are being carried on, and we can visit them, yet they are sadly unsatisfactory under Chinese control and support. “ It would be most easy to increase our agencies and activities, and there is a crying need for both, but we cannot find the way to make the cloth that was sufficient for the child suffice for the growing lad. “ The Colporteur and his work are well worthy of mention, and we gratefully acknowledge the kind help of the British and Foreign Bible Society in his support.”

SHENSI.

The Rev. A. G. Shorrock, in a review of the year’s work in Shensi, calls attention to the increase in self-support in the Chinese Church, manifest in Shensi as well as in Shantung and Shansi. “ A Church Committee was formed in January, which definitely assumed responsi­ bility for Church management and finances, and the conduct and support of Elementary Schools for both boys and girls. Hitherto, in both these departments of our work, the native Church has helped the B.M.S. Now the positions are reversed, and it is we who take up the role of helpers to the Church. This principle is being applied in both town and country centres. In the capital—Sianfu—the total budget estimated by the Church Committee for the year’s work was $1,000; towards this sum the B.M.S. contributes $400, the rest being raised by the Church. But it is clear that for a considerable time to come the vast regions around us must be supplied with preachers and evangelists who are supported by B.M.S. funds. “ Our most important work is now to see to it that these new organisa­ tions really function, and to enthuse and help them in every way possible. Classes for Bible study, Summer Schools and ‘ Retreats,’ personal contact as well as public meetings, are all helpful to this end. In several of our centres—both in city and country districts—we have held a series of special classes for Bible study throughout the summer months. The result has been seen in the quickened spiritual life of many of our members. “ A large tent has been given to the Mission by the Milton Stuart Evangelistic Fund of America, and this is in constant use by Mr. Shields and a band of evangelists. By this means we are able to reach thousands who would otherwise be untouched by ordinary methods. 1924.] CHINA. 63

“ The Sianfu Middle School has cost the B.M.S. much less this year than ever before, as it has been run more on Chinese lines than has hitherto been possible. The experiment of having a Chinese Principal in charge has been a success on the whole. The building of the new School, which W3 hope to see commenced shortly under Mr. Watson’s superintendence, will give us a wider opportunity than ever before of influencing and training the youth of this province. Our Elementary Schools have been on the whole successful—those taught by our own trained students particularly so.”

Sianfu City Preaching Hall. The Rev. H. W. Burdett reports that at this preaching ccntre a noon prayer meeting was begun in February, and has been held daily since. On three evenings every week services are held in the homes of members living in the vicinity, and many neighbours and friends crowd in. The daily preaching has been carried on as usual in the middle of the day, and in the hot weather meetings were held in addition at dusk in the Square itself. Many thousands of people during the year have in this way listened to the Gospel, and a number of names have been recorded as enquirers. “ Our main difficulty has been the lack of good Chinese preachers.”

Work in the 5 ianfu District. The Rev. John Shields writes : “ Owing to the lack of funds this year, we were compelled to carry on with about half the number of evangelists formerly employed, and the returns show about half the number of baptisms of the previous year. But for the first time the Church in this area has elected its own helpers, in the form of two pastors and two superintendents. Each of these men has had the oversight of a division, including four small churches in different county towns. When the people elected their pastors, they committed themselves to a very substantial share of their support, but the wheat harvest having been so poor, the contributions have naturally suffered. Nevertheless, a considerable sum was raised towards the erection of local chapels. One member alone has contributed the site for the proposed church to be erected near his home. “ The number of primary schools increased from three to eight, and several of these are in a very flourishing condition. The number of Gospel portions sold exceeds twenty thousand. “ Near the end of the year, through the generosity of Mr. Blackstone, who presented us with a fine large preaching tent, we were enabled to in­ augurate a new evangelistic effort. Already many people have recorded their names as enquirers, and we believe the Church is going to see a great accession to its membership. Through the mobility of the tent, we shall be able to bring the Gospel to many who have not yet even heard the mes­ sage of hope.”

SAN YUAN.

The Rev. John Bell, in his last year’s Report, forecast great distress in this district, owing to drought. “ Unhappily,” writes Mr. Bell, “ this forecast was more than realised. In February a grant received 64 ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT. [1924. from Shantung for famine relief was of untold benefit to our poor members and learners. Loans were made to a few, and others were engaged in various forms of work—cotton-spinning, shoe and sock making, repairs and building work. A number of infants were cared for by Miss Dillow, and Mrs. Bell held a class for poor women. This class turned out a good deal of work, while at the same time most of its members learned the Phonetic Script, and all heard the wonderful story of redeeming love.

“ The autumn harvest proved a good one, and abundant rains for planting the wheat give great promise of a good harvest next year. “ Apart from a short strife a month ago in Kaoling, political conditions have been comparatively calm, for which we are devoutly thankful. One laments, however, that one of the main causes of the calm has been the large crops of opium which have been reaped in watered districts. These have more than supplied the officials with necessary funds. It is said that more opium is being planted than ever before in the history of the Province. There is no hope for China while its officials remain so callous. “ The statistics and reports show a year of sunshine and shadow. Thank God there has been enough of the sun to inspire with hope and confidence, and enough of the shadow to encourage prayer and effort.”

The San Yuan Church area covers about 500 square miles, and comprises 50 congregations, 27 Lower Primary Schools, one Higher Primary and one Middle School. The Rev. William Mudd had the general oversight during the year, and we give a few brief extracts from his Report.

“ In the city of San Yuan itself the Church services have been well maintained. At times, indeed, we have been crowded out. This city has about 60 members, and this year they have taken over from the Mission the control of the Boys’ Lower Primary School and the Preaching Hall in the city, the Mission giving a grant for these two objects. This means that the burden of ways and means is placed upon the Chinese. “ In this Association the Mission was formerly wholly responsible for three Preaching Halls in towns outside San Yuan. Owing to financial stringency we decided last year to close these, giving a small grant to ensure continuance of worship. In closing the Preaching Halls as evangelistic centres of the Mission, we had a small tent made, and engaged two evan­ gelists and two assistants to tour the three counties. More effective evan­ gelistic work has been done than ever before. “ The small church in Chung Pu, after years of hard trial, is making progress. In Fang Li—a market town in the county of Ch’un Hwa—the few members raise some $50 a year, which with another $50 from the Mission enables them to have a teacher and carry on the work. They too, are anxious to have a place of their own, and they will make brave efforts to qualify for the Mission Building Grant. To the east of Fang Li, on the hills, is Nan I Ts’un, in which also there is a school and a few Christians. With added funds next year we hope to have 243 evangelists touring these districts and spending one or two months in each centre.” 1924.] CHINA. 65

YENANFU. Our readers are aware that at the death of the Rev. Donald Smith the work at Yenanfu was left without a leader until Mr. and Mrs. Burdett volunteered for the vacant outpost. In lieu of a full report we have the following note by Mrs. Donald Smith : “ A Committee of four, including the Foreign Pastor, had the manage­ ment of the Church throughout the Area. The election of a pastor was not consummated, but an elder was appointed, and Baptismal and Communion services were conducted by him, while all financial matters were attended to by a deacon. The noteworthy features of this arrangement have been harmonious working, and a deep sense of responsibility shown by the Chinese leaders. It is a distinct step forward in self-government. “ Christian Endeavour Societies for men and women, begun and carried on entirely by the Chinese Christians in Yenanfu, were another notable feature of the year. “ Steady work was done in both boys’ and girls’ schools in Yenantu. Five boys all earnest Christians, finished their Higher Primary Course.” ONE HUNDRED AND TH IRTY-SECON D ANNUAL RE PO RT. RT. PO RE ANNUAL D IRTY-SECON TH AND HUNDRED ONE [1924.

HE records and letters of the Cameroons missionaries show that long before the road was open to them they had seen God’s High Way leading on into the heart of Africa. Even T while building his settlement of Victoria, on Amboises Bay, Alfred Saker was looking eastward :— “ Victoria he wrote gladly— “ a centre of freedom, of light, of education and commerce. But it is also a highway into the interior, and this has been its greatest glory in my eyes.” And when at last the way was opened out, it was the men of Cameroons who were first to claim it in the name of the King. The history of the forty years between is a noble one, rich in the courage of the pioneers, the devotion of the interpreters, the patience of the teachers, the labour of the builders. Through the forests and villages of Congoland the road runs straight and true, and old, evil things have long since passed away. But on the King’s High Way every goal is but another beginning, and to-day a fresh vista is open­ ing out “ towards the sunrising,” along the road that will run five hundred miles from Stanleyville, now our easternmost post, on to Lake Albert. Yakusu is now fully staffed for the first time, and already the messengers from that station, pressing on from Stanley­ ville, have left an outpost at Maganga, eighty-six miles on, a centre from which it will be possible to evangelise a large district. And in a while the old dream of the early pioneers will be realised in a chain of mission stations right across Africa, East to West and West to East, a chain whose lights will be the lights of the King’s High Way across the Dark Continent. The Government of Congo Beige is now being established at Kin­ shasa, instead of at Boma, near the mouth of the river. It will be remembered that Kinshasa has been one of our centres for many years, the home base of our up-river steamers in past days and the scene of unremitting effort among the numerous employees of the trading firms. It is here that the various missionary societies on the Congo have established an interesting piece of co-operative work in the Union Hostel, a rest house for missionaries proceeding to their sta­ tions on the Upper River or coming down the river on their homeward journey. It is certain that our missionary work will have a large place in'the development of the New Town at Kinshasa.

67 68 ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT. [1924.

The Portuguese Colonial authorities have recently decreed that instruction in the schools of Portuguese Congo must be given entirely in Portuguese, the native tongues being absolutely forbidden. Those who know the achievements of our missionaries in the field of trans­ lation, and the value of their work as a medium of instruction in Christian truth, will realise what a blow this must be, not only to the school organisation under their care, but to the conduct of religious services. Mr. Lambourne writes of these difficulties in his Report from San Salvador. But while the work may be hindered it cannot be abandoned, and steps are being taken to cope with this new diffi­ culty. Already many teachers in the San Salvador schools have obtained the certificate which qualifies them to teach Portuguese ; bilingual books in the Portuguese and Ki-Kongo language are being printed for use in worship and education, and representations have also been made with regard to the interpretation of the Decree. The new station at Kibentele has supplied one of the most en­ couraging items in the story of the year. Mr. Frame placed before his people the needs of Wayika, on the Lualaba, a difficult field where progress has been slow ; and, quick to realise the challenge, the Congo Christians at Kibentele agreed to support an evangelist as their own representative at Wayika. Thus the Kibentele Church enters upon a definitely missionary enterprise in a land far away, for Wayika is 1,500. miles distant; and it is done in a spirit worthy of the great pioneer whose labours are honoured in the name of the station. “ T^he work of the Kibentele Missionary Society is a great joy to us,” writes Mr. Whitehead of Wayika ; and it will be a joy to all who read of i t ; for the challenge of the King’s High Way in Congoland is a challenge to the Congo Church as well as to the Mission, and He will look to the Church to answer it.

5AN SALVADOR. Mr. Lambourne’s Report opens with a tribute to Mr. and Mrs. Graham, who left San Salvador in February of 1923, in their thirty- seventh year of Congo service, amid many tokens of love and respect. At the suggestion of the Home Committee, Mr. and Mrs. Holmes from Kibokolo undertook temporary service at San Salvador, as there was no married couple left on the Station. They arrived in February, and left in November after the arrival of Mr. and Mrs. Austin. “ The furlough of Dr. and Mrs. Gilmore meant that the medical work was mainly left to Miss Hammond till her furlough in May, when Miss Bell arrived to take up the burden ; and non-medical members of the Staff had to assist in the carrying on of the work of the Hospital and Dis­ pensary. “ Most branches of the work have been kept going in spite of inadequate staff. The services have been well attended. Over 1,000 people came 1924.] CONGO. 69

up from the surrounding districts for the Annual Meetings in September- There have been 171 baptisms during the year: the net addition to the Church was 107, which increased the membership to 1,254. The Church funds were adequately maintained, and a good balance in hand is reported by the Church Secretary. “ Shortness of Staff did not permit much being done in the way of itineration. Four short trips only were made. We long for reinforce­ ments that will enable us to deal adequately with the oversight of our district work. “ All school work must now be in Portuguese, and the adjustments of the Schools to the requirements of Decree 77 is proceeding apace. All the teachers in our Station School succeeded in getting the “ Professor’s ” certificate, which qualifies them to teach Portuguese. A total of 18 “ Professor’s ” certificates were obtained during the year, amongst which three were obtained by Station children. “ In July we were officially commanded to withdraw all Kongo hymn- books and Bibles in the hands of the people, and we were warned that singing hymns in the Kongo language or reading the Kongo Testament in our services was a contravention of Decree 77. We took advantage of the Governor being in San Salvador in September to interview him with regard to this interpretation of the Decree. He made it very clear that the Decree could not be interpreted in any other way. We informed him that an application would be made to amend the Decree, and at his request we undertook not to circulate any more Kongo books till the result of the application was made known. But we told him simply that we should continue to sing and read in the vernacular in our services. At present, therefore, the position is that we arc forbidden to circulate Kongo hymn-books or Bibles: and although we are permitted to pray or preach in the vernacular, every time we sing a Kongo hymn or read a passage from the Kongo Testament we are consciously breaking the law. We feel solemnly that we cannot easily allow the people’s right to use their own language in Divine worship to be taken from them ; and we are prepared to suffer any consequences in championing the religious liberty of the people committed to our care. ” “ The past year has not been an easy one, either for the mission­ aries or the people. The calls of the Government for different kinds of labour have been incessant; and all the males over sixteen years of age have had to pay 40 escudos tax—a large sum in these hard times. But if perforce we have to close this report on a pessimistic note, it simply means that we commit ourselves afresh to the Loving Wisdom of our God—Whose we are, and Whom we serve.”

KIBOKOLO. The Rev. George Hooper writes : “ At the end of two decades in Zombo, there was only a small Church, numbering 80 members. Last year 81 converts were received into the Chufch, thus adding in one year more members than in the previous twenty years. Surely here is ground for thanks­ giving. ‘ Great things ’ have happened in Zombo. 70 ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT. [1924.

“Education.—By the decree of the Government, the Portuguese language must be taught in School. This has made the work difficult, but real progress can already be reported. A solid foundation is being laid. We look for good results this year. “ M e d ic a l work has once again proved its usefulness as an aid to the more direct spiritual work of the Station. Many hundreds have received help, and much suffering has been relieved. This branch of the work, as heretofore, has opened the door leading into the Church. “ I tin er at ion .—Long and successful tours have been made into the districts. There has invariably been a hearty welcome awaiting the teachers. In many parts we have been met with the cry ‘ Send us Teachers,’ but there is a dearth of qualified men and women. The Teachers are com­ pelled to pass a test examination in the Government language ; the authori­ ties claim the time of the young men for carrying, road-making, and other work ; and many are emigrating into Congo Beige. “N e w C h u r c h . The present temporary grass house, used both for School and Sunday Services, was badly shaken by a big storm in October last, and the immediate and imperative need is for a new and better building. The Christians and adherents have been for some time past gathering materials for a permanent Church building. They are pledged to carry sufficient large stones for the foundations and four walls ; also to assist in cutting enough timber for the wood-work. There are no stones near the Station, and the people have to go a double journey of at least four miles. They have already brought about 10,000 stones, representing roughly 80,000 miles tramped in collecting them. By the time sufficient are gathered, nearly, if not quite 120,000 miles will have been covered. “ The Zomboe have done their utmost. Materials for the roof and other essentials cannot possibly be made locally. For these things we appeal for financial aid from home, and surely, after what a few Zombo followers have already done, the appeal will not be in vain.”

KIMPESE. The Kongo Evangelical Training Institution. The Rev. F. G. Exell writes ; “ For the greater part of the year most of the students were from the American churches, but the work was carried on entirely by the B.M.S. during the furlough of the American section of the Faculty. However, the return of my colleagues in September eased matters from the point of view of the teaching staff, and there was an en­ couraging increase of students from the B.M.S. churches. For the first part of the year there were 16 students (of whom 10 were mar­ ried), but only two of them were B.M.S. Reckoning our total con­ stituency (students and their families), the B.M.S. numbered 6 out of 42. At the commencement of the new session in September, the students numbered 30 (23 married) of whom 11 are B.M.S. Again considering members of families, all of whom benefit by being at Kimpese, the total is 82, of whom 37 are B.M.S., all the B.M.S. men being married. 1924.] CONGO, 71

“ There has been a considerable awakening of interest in Kimpese and its work, and we now have 2 men from the Wathen district, 3 from Thysville, 5 from Kibentele and 1 from San Salvador. There is no doubt that one result of the ‘ Prophet ’ movement has been in many cases to make the people realise their need of more teaching, and they are beginning to look to Kimpese for it. As an illustration of the enthusiasm of some of our old students, the 5 men from Kibentele were recruited by two students who recently left Kimpese, and they received from those students a little preliminary training. “ Here is a table of students for the last six years, years of strain follow­ ing on the war: Session Total Wathen Thysville Kibentele San Salvad 1918-19 20 2 — 2 5 1919-20 19 4 — 3 1 1920-21 13 2 — 2 ____ 1921-22 12 2 — 1 1 19x2-23 16 — 2 — ____ 1923-24 30 2 3 5 1 “ We seem to have turned the corner and to be making very good headway, with a bright prospect ahead. Some of the men are rather slow, but Dr. Mabie remarks that the women are among the best she has had ; it is a misfortune that both Mrs. Moon and Mrs. Exell are away from the field, and unable to help with the women. “ The work has been much blessed, and we rejoice to know of the good work that is being done by former students on behalf of the churches for whom they are labouring. We are grateful to Our Father in Heaven, too, for sustained health and strength to carry on the work, for Him and to His glory.” WATHEN. The Rev. J. S. Bowskill writes : “ The progress of the work here during the past year has been steady and sure. But it has been an exceedingly trying time. As you know, Wathen was harder hit by the ‘ Prophet5 movement than any other part of Congo, for not only the prophet himself, but his chief helpers, came from immediately around here. Early in the year we gave notice that at the big June meetings we would revise the Church roll. A fine number assembled ; we went through the 1,500 names on the roll. It was a long, sad business. The num­ ber of those still clinging to prophetism was 900, and as they showed no desire for further fellowship with us, this left a clear membership of about 600, the faithful remnant who have come through the fire. God grant them strength to keep faithful! They are scattered over big areas, and need most careful shepherding. While we were able, we got out amongst them as much as possible, but now, with our depleted staff, how can it be done ? “ During the year we baptized well over 100 people, and restorations and transfers accounted for some 36 more. Since the revision of the roll, 72 ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT. [1924.

some of those cut off have seen their foolishness and begged to be allowed to return. No doubt many more will follow in their footsteps. “ Our station Boarding School has flourished splendidly. It has been a heavy task for Miss James to carry on almost alone, but she has stuck to it bravely. Mr. Thompson did his best to help her whenever possible, until his sad breakdown in health. Applicants for admission have been far more than we could accept, that is as far as boys are concerned, but for a long time we could get no girls at all. We have now 15 in residence, a great step forward, whose importance can hardly be over estimated. “ The medical work, in the charge of Mr. Thompson and my wife, has been most encouraging. It has certainly not yet reached its former huge proportions, but it is growing daily. Prophetites denounce the taking of White man’s medicine ; they would rather risk death than do i t ; so the progress of the medical work is a good index of the waning of prophetism. “ In conclusion we heartily thank God for His help and blessing during the past year. It has been a hard struggle to hold o n ; Mr. Thompson broke down under the strain, but we have all come safely through. One thing certainly disheartens us ; we begged for fresh, help, the Field Committee strongly backed this up ; we are still begging. It is not for ourselves that we beg, but for the people. We are prepared to carry on as long as we possibly can, but I cannot be in two places at once. Being the only man here I must not leave the station, and so the big districts are left unvisited.”

THYSVILLE. The Rev. R. L. Jennings writes : “ The year 1923 will stand out as a year of remarkable growth in the membership of the Thysville Church. There have been 318 baptisms during the year, and 63 restorations, inclusive of several who had been estranged through the Prophet Movement, but who have now abandoned it. There has been a net increase to the church of 333. The total membership is now 711. There have been only 7 deaths to record during the year, which, is an extraordinary record. “ The outposts have increased from 67 to 96, and the number of Teachers and Evangelists from 54 to 81. It is gratifying to record that 40 of the Teachers had passed through the 1st Class in their schooling at Wathen. Several had undergone training at Kimpese. “ The Church has raised during the year the sum of 7,860 francs, having cleared a small debt in the beginning of the year, and pre­ vented a recurring one at the end of the year, carrying forward into the new year a sum of 260 francs. “ The average attendance at Sunday Services in the district has been 2,911. The station work has been carried on as usual, including Sunday Services, Sunday School, Enquirers’ Classes Sunday and Week-day, and Daily School, morning and evening. The Ladies have kept up the big Knitting Class for women and girls, whose enthusiasm for it has in no way 1924.] CONGO. 73

abated. The Women’s Prayer Meeting at the Native Quarters on Wednes­ day afternoon, and the Men’s on the evening of the same day, have been well sustained. We feel that much blessing has been reaped as the result of Prayer and Intercession, which we had in the beginning of the year in connection with the World’s Evangelical Universal Week of Prayer. “ We still send our most promising boys from this district to Wathen School for their education. School is taught regularly at 78 outposts in the district, with to average attendance of 1,550. The children have purchased their own school material, books and slates, etc., at reduced charges. “ The district has been visited twine during the year, to the mutual joy of visitors and those visited. On these itinerations, Mr. Thomas and the writer have been accompanied by their wives, who have rendered ines­ timable service in ministering to the sick. There are some" half a score villages, formerly with us, which have not yet abandoned the Prophet Movement and returned to the Mission. For these we earnestly ask the prayers of our readers. “ Dispensary work, which is very considerable on this station, has been undertaken as usual by the ladies, and we thank God for its potent influence in helping to break down the effects of the Prophet, Movement, by its gracious ministry graciously rendered.”

KIBENTELE. The Rev. W. B. Frame writes : “ Our work has now extended into 124 villages. Regular services are conducted in 115, and in 85 there is the village school. The returns show that just over 3.000 worshippers attend these services, and that the average school attendance is 1,700. Despite the mini­ mum staff of three workers, we have visited 94 of the villages, some twice, so have seen most of our people ‘ At Home ’ and been able to give counsel and help to the native workers. It is interesting to note that the 2G6 persons received into the Church this year represent 83 villages, an indication that our increase is not due to any local ‘ Rush ’ for baptism, but is a steady gathering in from the whole district. “ We have received into fellowship by baptism 241, by transfer 10, by restoration 15, total 266. As our losses by death, transfer and erasure total 67, there is an increase of 199, and the year closes with a Church membership of 1,467. “ The following minute in April is a little landmark in the history of the Church here: ‘ Now it has been approved by the whole Church that the Deacons write a letter to the Church at Wayika that they appoint an evangelist to one of their outposts to be supported by us, and that part of his salary be sent in advance.’ The salary for the year has been for­ warded, but the Kibentele Church has not been impoverished by its little Missionary effort. On the contrary. ‘ There is that scattereth and yet increaseth ’ has been literally fulfilled, for though they have supported 57 workers, the balance in hand of 3,400 francs is nearly three times that of last year. At our Annual Meetings a more generous scalc of Allowances 74 ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT. [1924.

was arranged for the teachers. We hope it may encourage more of the women to join their husbands at their posts, and make it easier for some of our more experienced men to give their full time to Christian work. One deacon and four teachers entered Kimpese Training College in October, and we have several applications for entrance this year. By making full use of K.E.T.I., we hope to level up the general standard of teacher, and discover strong leaders. “ Mrs. Frame has carried the burden of School, Medical and Women’s services. A year ago we were proud to report that our school had attained to 60 scholars, but this year we have a daily attendance of 135. A special appeal was made that the girls in the towns nearest to us should avail themselves of .the advantages offered by our Tegular and better equipped school. The result is seen in 45 girls and young women attending. The fact that none live nearer than 20 minutes walk, and that some are quite an hour and a half away, testifies to their interest. “ A women’s service has been held each Sunday. Mrs. Frame has visited alternately the villages Ndembo and Nkama, both easily reached from a third village. An attendance of between 30 and 40 women, mostly Christian, gives the opportunity for seasonable talks, and the close touch with the women has been helpful in many ways. The ‘ Sudbury Dis­ pensary ’ has played an important part in our programme. Many of the patients have come from long distances, and at times our two grass hos­ pitals have been taxed to accommodate those who sought treatment for their various troubles. “ Brick-making, carpentry and building have provided good industrial training for some of the young men in the district. All the work at Kiben- tele has been done by lads taught in our own Mission. We have built two good store rooms—now serving as a residence for Mr. Guyton—com­ pleted the foundations of a second bungalow, and only await the short dry season to add to the bricks we have in hand so as to build a permanent house for the workmen and boys. “ We realise that ‘ Great things from God ’ have come to us in these three years, and we are humbled that we did not ‘ Expect ’ them to be quite so great. We cannot resent the Master’s ‘ 0 ye of little faith ’ "but marvel that with Him as Lord of the harvest and working with us we failed to ‘ Expect ’ even greater things. Lord, increase our faith ! ” KINSHASA. Rev. R. H. Kirkland writes : “ In the middle of the year we had to bid farewell to our friends, Mr. and Mrs. D. C. Da,vies, as they left us for furlough, and at the same time we had the joy of welcoming Mr. and Mrs. A. W. Hillard as our colleagues in the work during the absence of our friends just mentioned. “ All the Preaching Services have been regularly carried on during the year, and we have been much cheered by the numbers attending and by the interest which many have manifested. On Sundays we usually have eight or nine services during the course of the day. Five or six of these are conducted by the missionaries, and 1924.] CONGO. 75

the others by the native teachers, and the Good News is declared in, at least, four languages. It is a great joy to see our fine Church nearly full at the native service in the morning, and in the afternoon our small tin building in the native city is very frequently packed out. “ A goodly number of the interested ones have been admitted to the Enquirers’ Class which is held every Sunday morning. We usually have about 100 young people present. It is an hour for Prayer and Bible Study to help our Christians to become workers and to prepare followers and seekers for Church-membership. “ Again we have had the joy of baptizing a good number, and these have been added to our Church. The Communion Services continue to be well attended. “ The services for Europeans in the Church on the station, and for our West Coast Friends in the building in the village, are fairly well attended, and from time to time we are cheered by the gratitude expressed for the boon of such services in a place like this. “ The Educational Work has developed wonderfully. The Boy’s School is in charge of Mr. Hillard, the Village Sohool is flourishing under the care of Mrs. Hillard, and the building is too small for the people who desire to be taught. Sirs. Kirkland has a School for Girls and Women in the station school-house. This arrangement has worked well, and has resulted in increased attendances. Already some of the women have been enrolled as Enquirers, and four have been baptized. “ Both Mrs. Kirkland and Mrs. Hillard have been giving lessons in Sewing, and this has been an attraction, and brought us into touch with some that we should not otherwise have been able to reach. There is also a meeting for Christian Women on Wednesday afternoons, and the school hour on Monday afternoon is always a special Gospel Service. “ Our Itineration Work has also been very successful. At the main centre the people are putting up a larger place of meeting, and by the help of some motor vehicle we hope to be able to visit them more regularly for Communion, and also to attend to the Enquirers. Medical Work has been continued by Mr. and Mrs. Hillard. “ Our Matondo Services in October were a great success, and the people gave willingly for the erection of new premises in Kinshasa town. The demand for literature has been well maintained, and we have visitors from all parts coming to buy books.”

BOLOBO. The Rev. J. A. Clark writes: “ We have had another year of strenuous work and much blessing. Although the number of baptisms is considerably below last year’s record, still the figures show that 197 converts were baptized, and the Church, including the branch at Lukolela, shows a net addition of 76 members. The contributions seem to indicate a decline, but this is accounted for by the great depreciation of the franc. Actually more was contributed. “ As to the work of the station. Mr. Allen has been indefatigable in superintending the Industrial Department. The Mission presses have been busy the whole year, the new buildings near the river are well on the way

1 2 76 ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT. [1924.

to completion, the carpentry and cane furniture making have not slackened in any way, and the electric light has been installed, a very great boon to us all. “ Besides greatly assisting Mr. Allen, Mr. Glenesk, while on the station, has shared with Miss Wilson in the conduct of the large school. Mrs. Clark has taken charge of the girls’ school when not away with me on itinerations, and Mrs. Allen has again most successfully conducted the kindergarten, which numbers nearly 90 little ones. “ In addition to our long journey to Lake Leopold, Mrs. Clark and I visited Lukolela in April, and stayed there several weeks, and again both before and after our itineration. Mr. Glenesk also has taken several journeys, and towards the close of the year paid a special visit to Lukolela. “ In the absence on furlough of the missionary in charge of the A.B.F.M.S. Station of Tshumbiri I undertook to give it a general over­ sight. I have visited Tshumbiri twice, and Mr. Glenesk once. “ We have abundant cause to thank God for His good hand upon us all through the year.” UPOTO. The Rev. J. H. Marker mites : “ The year 1923 has been one of steady and successful work, al­ though for eleven months we again realised how inadequate was the European Staff to cope with the difficulties of Church organisation when communicants are scattered over a very wide area. “ Every available teaeher-evangelist has been employed by the Church for out-school work, which is becoming steadily consolidated. New auto­ mobile roads and the use of a cycle have greatly helped us in keeping in touch with village work. Applications arc constantly being made to us to open up new schools, but we still suffer from the lack of suitable teachers, since a capable man can earn much higher pay with one of the many local trading concerns. “ Local contributions for Evangelistic work have been higher than ever before. The sum of 5,07(1 francs has been given that Christ may be 'preached, and after paying all our teachers we have a Balance in hand for 1924 of 1,386 francs. “ We have been encouraged by the return of many who had fallen, and the baptism of 55 candidates. Another bright feature of the year’s work has been the regular visitation of half a dozen towns by 29 voluntary Local-Preachers, who were formed into five bands, each led by a deacon. “ The various branches of the Industrial work have been fully main­ tained, the sum of £90 Os. 5d., realised on the sale of goods, having been placed to the credit of Station expenses. The Carpentry section has turned out a quantity of large furniture of good quality and workmanship for the Commissaire and Station use. We* have been able to meet an increasing demand for our wicker furniture, the bulk of which has been supplied to the State, from which we have received a standing order. About 100,000 bricks have been made during the year. “ tGood work has-been done at the Dispensary,’ the natives contributing in fees £8 17s. 3d., which more than covers the oost of Medicines used. 10 “ The Staff was strengthened at the end of the year by the following additions : Mr. and Mrs. Reynolds—returning from furlough—Mrs. David­ son, and Mr. and Mrs. Monish. 1924.] CONGO. 77

“ We close the year in a spirit of buoyant hopefulness, and rejoice in the great opportunities open to us of aggressive evangelistic work,”

YAKUSU.

The Rev. W. Millman writes : “ The year 1923 has been one of great promise. We have at last the staff we asked for years ago. _ Alas, and yet happily, they haye arrived when the work has expanded and intensified beyond the hopes of those distant years, During this year we have witnessed the completion of the sub-station house of brick at Yalikina planned by Mr, Mill ; the erection of another in plaster and wattle by Mr. Parris at Yaongama, sixty miles south of the river ; the prospecting and planning for a third at Maganga, ninety miles east of Yakusu, by Mr. Pugh and Mr. Ennals, and the commencement of a brick house for missionaries at Stanleyville. “ Each one of these sub-stations is in itself a good centre for mission work. The success and maintenance of the work in the villages surround­ ing them depend greatly on the teacher-training carried on at Yakusu, God grant that it may be efficient ! “ The net increase in the Church membership is 247, though our bap» tisms were 312. At present the communicants number 3,931. We close the year with thirty pounds in hand, but this only affords a useful working margin. One in every ten members is a teacher evangelist maintained by the Church. “ The out-posts are increasing in number as from the new sub-stations the Gospel is carried into new districts. The average attendance at the village schools and services is not so large as formerly owing to the in­ creased organisation of public labour by the Government. The Govern^ ment is also establishing schools at official centres under qualified native teachers trained by Roman Catholic Frères for the purpose. “ Our station schools for boys and girls and women and workmen are attended by about 250 each day. “ The Institute classes have been held throughout the year, and there is cause for gladness in the improved lives and abilities of the men. But there can be no doubt that the next generation of teachers will have to be given a longer period of training instead of the present arrangement for six weeks a year. Simple handcrafts by which teachers could augment their income without neglecting their work would be a valuable asset. “ At the close of the year the staff is a full one. In June, Mr. Pugh returned with Mr. Ford, and now in December we have Dr. and Mrs. Chester- man back, and with them Mr. Arnold Chesterman for the building of the new hospital, Nurse Owen, to set -Miss Head free for her furlough, and Miss Wilkinson and Miss Roiling for women’s Avork. Dr. Spear, who has so freely and so capably carried on the medical work during the furlough of Dr. and Mrs. Chesterman, will be returning to England in a few months. “ We have not yet completed our Lokele Dictionary. The language classes have kept it back a little, but we have it in hand, and also the re­ vision of the New Testament. 78 ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT. [1924,

“ The coming of the oil engine fo r making electricity foT the new hos­ pital makes possible electric lighting all round, as well as a power.driven saw for the timber yard, though one grudges the demand these things make for the moment upon the time we want for itineration and evangelisation. “ Altogether it would seem likely that there will be many develop­ ments in the near future, and our chief concern is that we may meet each rearrangement of circumstance according to God’s Will.”

YALEMBA. The Rev. A. B. Palmer writes : “ The end of the year has brought splendid reinforcement to our staff. Obviously one white woman and two white men are quite insufficient for this huge district, yet even that small staff was de­ creased for three months to a ‘ Missionary and her husband.’ This has affected our statistics of baptism and church membership, but all the other statistics show that our work is developing healthily. “ Our band of teachers in the out-districts has risen from 60 to 90, While these are far from being adequately trained, four training classes on the station have been a big help to them, and many have done good work in their schools, and have developed considerably in themselves. “ The number of lads attending our schools has nearly doubled itself, and the applicants for church membership have increased in a like pro­ portion. “ Our station school has reached a decidedly higher standard. “ The effective visitation of the deaconesses—most of them old house girls—has brought about a real mass movement with the village women, These are certainly not ready for church membership, but their attendance at the village meetings and the instruction classes has reached high water mark, and there is something more than the old spirit of friendliness. “ All through the year a splendid work has been going on among the girl boarders, whose numbers have steadily grown. With the advent of the two new brides, Mrs. Weeks and Mrs. Simpson, this department is now receiving more adequate attention, and has made a big jump forward from anything that has so far been attempted. “ A similar system of visitation to that for the women has been started for the men folk, and though the results are not so striking as among the women, yet it has made a difference to the village men and station boys. * “ Our medical department has been only a humble effort—lack of buildings and certain medicines, added to lack of instruments, has only emphasised our lack of knowledge—but scores of lives were saved during the pneumonia epidemic. “ Though our hopes have not all been realised, yet in and througli our work we have been conscious of the presence and great help of our God.” WAYIKA. The Rev. John Whitehead, in his last Report, written “ full of hope and gratitude,” described the formation of the Church at Wayika; 1924.] CONGO. 79 but the year which, opened so hopefully closed in much disappoint­ ment. A listlessness and indifference had crept in, and a number of those who had professed conversion had apparently abandoned all interest in the Mission. Several of the native teachers, for various reasons, failed to maintain the work entrusted to them, and great hopes which had been cherished proved to be ill-founded. But there were bright chapters in a somewhat depressing story, and one of them was provided by far-off friends at Kibentele. “ We were able to start a school early in- the year at a village down river near the juncture of the Kasuku with the Lualaba. At first two of the young members took turns in conducting, coming back in turn to the station to receive further instruction. Later on one deflected himself from duty. But the other teacher continues, and has well won the esteem of the chief, who has recently been made medal chief, and the teacher, at the request of the State, acts as his secretary. This promising work is now the work of the Kibentele Missionary Society, the first native missionary society in Congo. The Church at Kibentele have sent through Mr. Frame the amount necessary to the support of the teacher for a whole year com­ mencing with April last. This work of the Kibentele church in the village of Ngole is a great source of joy to us, a comfort in the disappointments.” Another hopeful feature was the work of the press. “ The issue of literature from the press has been greatly appreciated, and has resulted in a great demand, which we have been unable fully to meet. The gospel has been carried by it in directions which are only partly known to us; editions previously issued have been exhausted, and we are busy trying to replenish them, and satisfy the demands. At present a hymn book and vocabulary are in hand, and we are afraid that editions ai’e sold out before printing is finished. This far-reaching influence of Wayika work also gives us great comfort in our near disappointments, and so we are looking up, thanking God, and taking courage.” Mr. and Mrs. Wilkerson, Mr. J. N. Clark, and Mr. Osborne carried out several itinerations during the year. BRITTANY.

T is now many years since the humble pastor of a small country church in Wales heard the call of God’s High Way from across I the water, and set out to bear the lamp of Protestant truth to his kinsmen over the channel. The years between have been years of hopes that were never fully realised, of labour among many dis­ appointments. The King’s High Way in Brittany has never been an Open Road, but always a broken and difficult uphill path from whicli the mists and shadows never seemed to vanish. Yet who will dare to say that the Welsh pastor of Hengoed long ago was mistaken ? The call is never more clear and certain than when the High Way seems to be a Closed Way. The records of the past year continue the story of labour in face of many difficulties—the difficulties of the materialistic spirit among the people, of general indifference to any question of religion, and of Romanist intolerance and opposition. But the evangelists have steadily continued their meetings in their halls, in farm buildings, and in the homes of Christian families, while the schools have main­ tained their invaluable work among the young. The School at Le Guilly has 123 pupils, and is taxed to its utmost capacity ; and the Report contains the significant statement: “ From this place many gems have been gathered for the Master ; and in the country round there is a growing feeling in favour of Protestantism and a growing liberty for the children to choose their path.” Our Mission is the most extensive Protestant Mission in Brittany. In September the new chapel at Morlaix, replacing the building erected by John Jenkins over sixty years ago, is to be opened. We pray that this new church may prove to be a memorable landmark on the King’s High Way among the Bretons, opening an epoch of development and harvesting. Mr. Jenkins writes : “ During the year your missionary has visited regularly the posts of Evangelisation and the Schools. The plan adopted is to encourage local initiative and responsibility, and to continue the preparation for the pos­ sibility of the Mission becoming rather an Association of Churches than a Mission in the general acceptation of the term. The worst opposition comes from the post-war spirit of indifference to all forms of religion. How­ ever, we find that although the people care little for theology or dogma, they warmly appreciate our insistence on the life changed, as the best proof of being Christian. “ We are very thankful that our meetings in the country districts are well attended, and that here and there we find men and women of decision who in spite of opposition declare openly for the Evangelical Faith.

M 0R LA1X. “ The Sunday morning services have been regularly attended by most of our Protestant Community. The collections have increased. One or two non-Protestants have been coming also, and have shown signs of interest. “ This winter we hired on two occasions one of the cinemas in the town. Once was for Armistice Day, when the Old Soldiers’ Association paid all expenses. On this occasion we had several notabilities of the town, lawyers, professors, and Government officials. The second was on the occasion of a visit from a very popular Missionary from Madagascar, of the Paris Missionary Society. Both times we had excellent congregations, and both services were favourably commented on in the local press. “ We rejoice in the building operations for the new Chapel. Many of the townsfolk are interested, and we feel sure that the advent of the new Chapel will be the signal for a forward movement in the town.1’ BREST. Pastor Brabant writes : “ During the year four hundred services have been held. We have sold about 400 francs worth of literature, and we have been able to send 250 francs to the Cameroons. Also by local effort we have installed electrio light in the Chapel. With the help of friends we were able to give two months’ holiday in the country to twelve poor children. LANNEANOU. “ Monsieur Collobert, although advancing in age, is still very active. Ilis Sunday meetings are fairly well attended. He also visits Le Cloitre and the Guilly regularly, holding services there and in various farm-houses. “ The Young People's Meetings conducted regularly by your Missionary have been very well attended, usually a hundred present. Q HILLY. “ The Day School at the Guilly has 123 pupil?. This is the same number as last year’s, and the accommodation is taxed to its utmost limit. “ The Guilly group of Christians gives us much joy. Their exemplary conduct and their brightened homes are noticed by all around. Most of the Christians are old pupils of the school. HUELGOAT. “ The event of the year has been the transfer of our meeting from the little upper room to a more spacious room in a new house built by our Evangelist Monsieur David. The expenses of decoration were largely borne, by an American lady, member of Dr. Forsdick’s Church, who was on holiday in Huelgoat. Since the removal there is a marked improvement in the attendance. KERELCUN. “ Here the Sunday Service, the Sunday School, and the Evening Popular Services in winter, are well attended. The Sunday School, which was only started last year, is making good progress. A special Mission wat: conducted at this post in November by a Breton Wesleyan Minister. The Chapel was full on three nights. After the Mission I appealed to the parents to allow the children who attend the Sunday school free choice of their faith, and not to force them to be confirmed in the Roman Church. Wo pray that something definite will come of this. 82 ONE HUNDRED AND TEIRTY-SEUOND ANNUAL REPORT. [1924.

PLOUGRESCANT. “ In this distant post our Evangelist, Monsieur Omnes, is meeting with success. The Chapel is well filled on Sunday afternoons, and crowded for special week-evening meetings. Monsieur Omnes undertakes col- portage work, and has regular meetings at a farm some ten miles away.

CALLAC. “ Callae has been visited once a month by your Missionary in company with Evangelists. Since February, meetings have been held in the shop of a Christian tailor. The shop is generally crowded, and we hope the way is being prepared for greater effort here.

LE CLOITRE. “ Le Cloitre is visited fortnightly by Collobert, and well attended meetings are held at the hired room. Monsieur Collobert also holds ser­ vices in farms between Lanneanou and Le Cloitre.”

“ I close this report in thankfulness to God for all His help in this His work, and in confidence that the sown seed will spring to a holy harvest in this difficult Mission Field.” WOMEN’S WORK.

REPORT OF THE WOMEN’S MISSIONARY ASSOCIATION, 19 23.

T. the beginning of the year, the Committee had the joy of welcoming home the Foreign Secretary, Miss Lockhart, on return from a visit as deputation to the work and workers A in India. The report of her trip has been printed and circulated, and will prove in days to come to be of more than passing worth. Incidentally, it makes a capital book of reference for members of the India and Field Sub-Committees. The Annual Meeting of the W.M.A. took place in Bloomsbury Central Church, on April 26th. Mr. Ernest Lord presided over a large attendance, and the London Girls’ Auxiliary again served the parent Society as stewards and helpers. Miss Lockhart, Mrs. Donald Fraser, M.B., Cli.B., of Livingstonia and of the Scottish Churches Missionary Campaign, were the speakers, and farewell was taken of nine new Missionaries. On Friday morning, April 27th, an enthusiastic company gathered at the Mission House for conference on “ The Present Position of the W.M.A.” and to hear in fuller detail the report of Miss Lockhart’s visit to India. From all over the country, representatives of pro­ vincial auxiliaries had eagerly accepted the invitation of the Com­ mittee to be present. It was a peculiar pleasure to have Miss Robinson of Bristol in the chair. Miss Macalpine, of Accrington, led the dis­ cussion, which was heartily taken up by many. The Committee nominated Mrs. Winsor Bond, of Birmingham, for Honorary membership of the W.M.A. She has served the Society devotedly, and was one of the earliest workers for Carey Hall. Lady Pearce Gould, during the year, has acted in the double capacity of Chairman and Treasurer—thereby increasing the indebtedness of the whole W.M.A. to her. The Annual Day of Prayer, on June 29th, was widely observed throughout the Auxiliaries. The Quarterly Prayer Meetings, ar­ ranged by a joint Sub-Committee of the Baptist Women’s League and Women’s Missionary Association, have been held alternately at the Mission House and the Church House. S3 84 ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-SECOND ANNUAt REPORT. jl&2i'

Several valued friends have passed on to higher service. No loss will be felt more keenly than that of Mrs. J. R. M. Stephens* who was a staunch friend and helper of the women’s work. Early in the year Lady Pearce Gould wrote personally to each Auxiliary secretary; asking for a definite increase of 50 per cent, on last year’s contributions or a mandate from the auxiliary to cut down some part of the work, withdraw old, tried Workers, and reject new candidates. Nobody dared call for retrenchment. The Committee and the Secretaries have been greatly cheered by the letters which have reached the Mission House in response to this appeal. They evince a fine spirit of fellowship and friendliness. There is an obvious increasing desire to understand and to share as far as possible in the thought and life of the Association. A fine challenge was thrown out before the Women’s Committee by the anonymous gift of £500 for the W.M.A., from “ Two Friends,” in response to Mr. Harry Gould’s appeal on behalf of the Society, at the Annual Meeting in the Queen’s Hall. This was speedily followed by an additional £500 from the Women of Scotland, the balance from the Scottish Baptist United Fund. With regret the Committee record that the aim set of £10,000 increase in income has not been attained ; but they praise God for the increase of £3,546 on general contributions during the year, and also for the bequests to the Legacy Fund, the total general contributions during the year reaching the record figure of £26,830. A deficit of £6,911 is the difference between the sum asked for by the Treasurer and the amount contributed bv the churches. In compliance with the wish of the B.M.S. Finance Committee, it has been decided to reduce the deficit by transferring the available balance on the Legacy Fund to the current account, and the Committee desire to point out that only an increasing income at home will meet the situation created abroad by blessing on work and workers. While thanking the churches for the advance made so far, they would urge them to renew their efforts on behalf of a progressive income, and “ take no rest ” till the whole 50 per cent, increase has been achieved.

ON TrtE FIELD.

Offers from suitable candidates have been received in considerable numbers. Of twelve candidates, seven Avere accepted for training, one of whom has since withdrawn on account of family claims. There are at present thirteen prospective W.M.A. Missionaries in the Training Colleges, three of these hoping to sail in the Autumn. Staff.-‘-O n May 12th, 1923, Miss Gertrude Fletcher, who went to India in 1885, passed away suddenly in Delhi after a slight operation. 1924.] w o m e n ’ s w o r k . 85

The veteran of the staff, Miss Bertha Thom, a pioneer in many branches of missionary service, died suddenly in Delhi, on February 9th, 1924, in her eighty-third year, her home call following very closely on that of her close friend, Miss Agnes Rooke, which took place at Lahore, on October 28th, 1923. Though in her later years associated with the S.P.G., Miss Rooke was for over twenty years a member of the B.Z.M. staff in Delhi. Mrs. W. R. Bion, who retired in 1912 after sixteen years’ service, died in Calcutta on »September 11th, 1923, after a very trying illness. Five senior workers have retired during the year—Miss I. M. Angus, of Patna, Mrs. Bayley, of Agra, Miss Dawson, of Berhampore, Miss Taylor, of Jessore, and Miss Thatcher, of Bolangir. The retiral of Mrs. Cooper, of Gaya, who joined the staff in 1917, after the death of her husband, has also taken place during the year. The staff was further depleted by the marriage in December, 1923, of Miss Frances Lusty, of Dholpur, to Mr. E. G. Tilt, of Lahore, and of Miss Ethel Buchanan, of Jessore, to Mr. A. C. Ghosh, of the B.M.S. Eleven new recruits have sailed during the year. To India— Misses Collins, Harris, Richards and Manson, the last-named as assistant to the Indian Secretary in the Calcutta office ; to Ceylon, Miss Jessie Uttley, designated to succeed Miss Thomson as Principal of the Matale Boarding School; to China, Misses Chappie, Glasby, Haslop and Williamson; and to Congo, Miss Reiling, the representa­ tive of the Dutch Baptist Churches, and Miss Wilkinson. The Committee rejoices in the accession of these eleven new mis­ sionaries to the staff, but would call attention to the fact that the losses number ten, and that while all these losses are in India, only four of the new workers have gone to that Field, and one of them is engaged in secretarial work. The W.M.A. staff in India is really reduced by seven, a very serious position in view of the urgent call for additional workers.

THE WORK IN INDIA.

The year brought some notable changes in W.M.A, work in India, involving a measure of withdrawal in several of the older centres, to permit of development in new and promising fields. Bengal.—After long years of waiting, it has at last been possible to send two W.M.A. missionaries to North Bengal. Miss Fenter, from Dacca, and Miss W. Williams, from Calcutta, took up residence in Dinajpur during 1923, and an encouraging beginning has been made in Zenana visiting in Dinajpur and the villages round, and in the opening of a Girls’ Hostel for Santhal and Bengalis. 86 ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT. [1924.

Miss Hodgkinson has taken Miss Fenter’s place in Dacca, where a marked feature has been the demand of the girls for education, with which the Government has been unable to cope, and the opening of a new school has been practically forced on the W.M.A. No othfr mission is doing anything for the women, and the W.M.A. staff greatly needs strengthening. In Calcutta, Miss Atkinson has had the assistance of Miss Proshad Mondol in the superintendence of the Day Schools, which make good progress. Miss Ewing reports excellent work done by the Bible- women in village itineration and mela visiting. The Entally Boarding School continues its splendid work in the old surroundings, plans for its removal having for the present proved impracticable. Fifty-nine girls gained certificates in the Bengal Christian Conference Examination, and more than half the prizes went to Entally girls, one of whom secured the only medal awarded. Six of the present scholars and three who have passed on to the High School were baptized during the year. Co-operative work at the United Missionary Training College, and at the Girls’ High School, continues to show good results. The scholars in the United High School number 220, of whom 100 are boarders. The day girls are mostly Hindus, but all alike attend prayers and a daily Bible lesson. Out of fifty students in the Upper School, sixteen are B.M.S. girls from Barisal and Entally, and five of them hold Government Scholarships. In the Barisal District some progress has been made in the transfer of certain activities from the Mission to the Indian Church. Primary Schools have been placed under its control, and a W.M.A. Bible-woman has been working amongst women in Christian villages under the direction of the Church Council. Eighteen of the girls in the Boarding School were baptized during the year. The usual “ Santi Dut ” tours to Beel Schools were made, and even on a short preaching tour, the workers were saddened to discover that close at hand were many who had never yet heard the Gospel message. The transfer of the Industrial Home from Jessore to Khulna has been accomplished, but Mrs. Gilbert remains in Jessore to carry on the promising evangelistic work, in which she has had Miss Rugg as colleague. In Khulna, which is a new station for the W.M.A., where Miss Weaver and Miss Mawby have taken up residence, the closing of the B.M.S. Boys’ School made that building available for the accom­ modation of the women of the House, but, unfortunately, the expense of necessary alterations and the erection of a wall enclosing the com­ pound has been considerable. One of the older converts from Jessore has taken a course of training at the Government Weaving School in 1924.] w o m e n ’ s w o r k . 87

Serampore, and is now qualified to take the place of the Weaving Master in the Home. South Villages.—In accordance with the plans for the transfer of the B.M.S. Boys’ High School from Serampore to Bislmupur, and for the devolution of evangelistic and Primary School work to the Indian Church, the W.M.A. missionaries have been withdrawn, and the W.M.A. house passed over to the B.M.S. for the residence of Mr.- French, the Head Master of the High School. In Mrs. Ghosh, wife of the District Missionary in charge of South Village work, residing at Laksmikantapur, who, as Miss Ethel Buchanan, did good service at Jessore, we still have a representative in the district. In South Lushai, the advent of Miss Marjorie Clark has greatly lightened the burden on Miss Chapman. The Girls’ School has been full all the year, and there are many more pupils anxious to come. There is still only one Lushai teacher, but after only two and a half years’ work it has been possible to send in five girls for the Lower Primary Examination. Encouraging work in the training of four women evangelists is also reported. Orissa.—In pursuance of the policy laid down by the 1923 Con­ ference, the W.M.A. has withdrawn from day school and evangelistic work in Cuttack and Berhampore, and advance in other directions has thus become possible. In Cuttack the Christian Boarding School has had a year of steady work, and ten students of the Training Class attained success in the Government Teachers’ Certificate Examination. A branch of “ Blue­ birds ” has been started recently, the members of which are very keen. Twenty of the boarders were baptized during the year. In Berhampore, the resolution of Conference involved the closing of the two Girls’ Schools, unless the Indian community could accept responsibility for them. Early in 1923, the Telugu Church started a Sunday School for the scholars of the Telugu Caste Girls’ School. Later, they felt that the opportunity of reaching non-Christian children through the day school must not be lost, and, though few in number, the Church has undertaken the responsibility of continuing the school with a subsidy from the Mission. A member of the Telugu Church, who is a Government School teacher, has taken charge of the Sunday School for Comiti children, and conducts a preparation class for the teachers. Also, the Oriya School having been taken over by the Municipality, the Oriya Church has opened a new Sunday School. There is much cause for thankfulness in the response of these two churches to the call to undertake responsibility. These changes made four W.M.A. missionaries available for service elsewhere, and Miss Vaughan, of Cuttack, and Miss Collett, of Ber­ hampore, have been transferred to Bolangir, where, since the retiral 88 ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT. [1924. early last year of Miss Thatcher, there had been no W.M.A. missionary. Khond Hills.—Miss Dorothy Milward, from Berhampore, and Miss Stephens, from Cuttack, are now at work in Udayagiri, in the Khond Hills, where they have made an encouraging beginning in school and evangelistic work. North India.—In several stations in North India work is passing through a transition stage. With the handing over of the Kharar Mission to the Presbyterians came the closing of the W.M.A. school there, and on the death of Miss Fletcher, in May, arrangements were made for Miss Moore and Miss Singh to be transferred to Baraut, where a promising piece of work had been initiated by Miss Fletcher, Owing to the breakdown and retiral of Mrs. Bayley, and the return on furlough of Miss Slater, the need at Agra became acute, and Miss Pearson has been temporarily transferred to that station, where, unfortunately, short-handedness has made some curtailment of work necessary. On the transfer of the Kharar work Mr. and Mrs. Frank Hasler have been definitely appointed to Bhiwani, and it is hoped that in the Autumn Miss Pearson may be free to leave Agra and join Miss Theobald. In Dholpur work among women prisoners in the jail has been full of interest. A baptistry has been built in the Mission Compound by the local Church, and the first baptismal service in Dholpur was held recently, when two women were baptized, one being a nurse, and the other a hospital patient of high caste. In Delhi, Mohammedan houses have been more accessible than for some time past. Miss Morgan’s Child Welfare Centre, which is financed apart from Mission Funds, is becoming increasingly appre­ ciated, and as the direct result of the bathing and attention given to small ailments, the number of dispensary attendances for eye and ear trouble have been considerably less. From the Palwal district comes the news of a distinct movement towards Christianity among low caste people. In Gaya, many new homes are open for visits, and the numbers in the Schools are increasing, but the teaching staff is insufficient, and both in this station and in Monghyr, where Miss Bion is alone, there is great need for an increased staff. From Tikari also comes the report that more Zenanas could be visited were more teachers avail­ able. The Patna Boarding School continues its excellent work, and the influence of a special Mission, held by Mr. R. Archibald of the Children’s Special Service Mission, in November, has proved most helpful. Part of the long-wanted Nursery Building has now been completed. w o m e n ’ s w o r k . 89

CEYLON. In Colombo the Boarding School work has had a difficult year owing to changes in the teaching staff, and an abnormal amount of sickness, but Miss E. W. Evans reports that a deep spiritual work is going on. She has a class of fifteen girls, who have expressed a desire for baptism. In Matale a Missionary Sunday School has been started among the Boarders ; lessons on different Mission Fields are studied, and the girls contribute to various missionary objects, including a little village Sunday School, carried on by two of the teachers, with the assistance of the older girls. The retiral of Miss Thomson in the Autumn is anticipated with great regret, but Miss Jessie Uttley is now in Matale preparing to take her place. In Ratnapura the workers have been greatly rejoiced by the decision of several members of their own household staff to serve Jesus Christ. The Bible Training work has been encouraging, and the two Bible Teachers, who completed their training last year, and are now at work, have received their diplomas for Sunday School Science, Lesson Preparation and Bible Knowledge, in connection with the Indian Sunday School Teachers’ Training Course. The School, which has now been recognised as a Grade I. Efficient School, has seventy pupils on the roll, and at the request of the Edu­ cation Department has been registered as a Mixed School, which allows of the boys being kept a little longer without loss of grant.

CHINA.

In China in many districts the disturbed conditions make village evangelistic effort almost impossible. The visit of Miss E. G. Kemp during the year brought cheer and encouragement to the workers, and it was especially helpful that, despite considerable difficulty and even danger, she was able to accom­ plish the journey into Shensi. A very encouraging feature at present is the demand of the girls for education, but it brings with it a difficult problem for the Mission, as the present schools do not provide for the higher education of the girls of the Christian community, and they are seeking it in the Government schools, where the influence is often immoral and definitely anti-Christian. The conclusion has been reached that the aim must be to provide as early as possible a complete Middle School, with adequate staff and equipment, for each of the three Provinces. Shantung.—Except in the Peichen district, where excellent work has been done, country work has been practically impossible for a 90 ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT. [1924,

great part of the year, the ladies not being allowed to go into the villages, except under military escort. It has therefore been neces­ sary to concentrate on intensive work in various centres. In Tsing-chow-fu a two days’ Conference for City women was held in the Autumn, and in ten districts thirty classes of three weeks’ duration each for Bible Study and Phonetics were held, and fifty scholars gained certificates for Phonetics. In the country districts the illiteracy of the Christian Church is a very real problem, and plans were made for the opening of an Evangelists’ Training School, under Miss Sifton, but, thus far, it has not been possible to secure the right class of student. With less educated pupils, however, good work has been done. Study has been combined with practical work, both in the Villages and among the Peichen Christians, and the students have also helped in classes for women gathered from various districts. The Boarding School at Choutsun, opened in 1913, has been over full, with eighty boarders. Fourteen girls have left—the first to pass out from the top of the School since Miss Thomas’ return from furlough five years ago. Attempts at teacher training are sadly hampered by lack of room to open a practising school. Shansi.—In Tai-yuan-fu, the Girls’ School is steadily increasing The workers have been greatly encouraged by the loyal way in which the. Chinese teachers do their work. The reputation of the School is such that recently a Government official, from a place nine days’ journey away, sent three girls to it, paying the cost from funds at his disposal. The Women’s School has this year sent out three women, the first to complete the full course of three years. The Edwards’ Memorial Institute was formally opened in Sep­ tember, 1923, Miss Kemp being present as the guest of honour. The membership is now over 150, and fees have more than covered the running expenses, apart from the Secretary’s salary. Weekly lec­ tures, discussions, concerts, etc., have been arranged by the Social Committee, and classes have been held in Home Nursing, First Aid, Sewing, Singing, Knitting, Bible Study, History of Mankind, English and Piano Playing. The Women’s School opened in Sinchow began with a trial term of six, weeks in the Spring, and seventeen promising women attended. The intention is to have two terms annually of two months each, the whole course to extend over three years. Opportunities for evangelistic work in the district around Sinchow are numerous, and during part of the year regular fortnightly meet­ ings were held for women in three villages, where Church members have thrown open their homes as places of worship, and have spent time and strength in gathering in the neighbours. 1924.] w om en ’ s w o r k . 91

In the Spring, a Women’s Conference was held, attended by about fifty women, and a Summer School for Women Evangelists proved a happy and profitable experience. Shensi.—Shensi has suffered in late years more than either of the other Provinces from civil wars and disturbed conditions, and during a great part of the year country work has been almost impossible, and famine conditions have produced acute distress in many districts. In Sian-fu city, despite a considerable amount of anti-foreign feeling, the workers have been warmly welcomed in many homes, and at the four Temple Fairs within the City walls, when numbers of women came together, it was found possible to preach and to dis­ tribute large quantities of literature. Good work was also done by Chinese helpers in connection with an Industrial Exhibition, and during the Festival of “ The New Constitution.” For the first time in the history of the School three girls have completed the Middle School course and received their certificates. Of the 131 pupils, thirty-two are church members. In San Yuan food was at famine price, and it was absolutely neces­ sary to start relief work. For a time employment was given in making Hospital clothing and bedding, and later, cotton spinning, sock- making, etc., were started, and the women so employed were gathered into classes for instruction in the Phonetic Script, Scripture, Hygiene and Child Welfare. The Bible School has had a year of gladness and blessing. The number of pupils in the school was somewhat affected by famine conditions, but progress has been marked. During a week of special meetings in connection with the women’s work, a series of evening meetings was held in the School by request of the Scholars, and at the close six of the girls asked for baptism. Congo.—At Wathen conditions are gradually improving, and there are now a few girls under instruction. At Bolobo school work has gone on as usual, and a considerable amoimt of district work has also been accomplished. A most encouraging report has been received from San Salvador. Village teachers told of goodly numbers in the Enquirers’ Classes, and from these about eighty have been baptized during the year. Over 200 women and girls from the nearer villages are under instruction, and some old women walk in ten miles in order to be present at a weekly class. Girls are brought in with the remark : “ We want her taught everything, and when she comes back to us she can teach in her own town.” Of thirty-one girls in the Station School, several show signs of great promise, and it is hoped that they may become teachers.

as a great disappointment, a warm welcome has been given to the two new W.M.A. workers, Miss Alice Wilkinson, of Leeds, and Miss Reiling, a representative of the Dutch Baptist Churches, and they are settling in happily to language study*.

GIRLS’ AUXILIARY.

The Girls’ Auxiliary completes, this year, twenty-one years’ of life. In 1903 the first branch was started in Adelaide Place, Glasgow, and to-day we have well over 200 branches up and down the United King­ dom. We have also a growing number of personal members, three in South Africa. Until September, 1923, the secretarial work of the Girls’ Auxiliary was carried on by our late Secretary, Mrs. Norman Cheshire, to whom the loving thanks of the G.A. are given. In some districts, week-end conferences have been held, and dis­ cussion groups have proved that the G.A. is taking her part in think­ ing out some of the many problems that confront us to-day. Other districts have done more isolated work, but whenever there has been a chance of closer fellowship, the branches have responded with a keenness that shows their desire for unity. This year our Council meetings are to be held in Glasgow, and there we shall experience the fellowship and inspiration which comes at times like these. The G.A. was represented at Summer Schools, both at Rhyl and at Seaford, where opportunities were given for questions and dis­ cussion. The G.A. magazine proves invaluable to the branches who wish to keep up to date with the latest information about the G.A. and all its activities. It now contains a Roll of Honour, with names of the G.A.’s on active service abroad and in training, and with this before us we hope to be a continual support to those who are serving in this way, and have proved “ Ready ” to do whatsoever their Lord the King has appointed. OUR MEDICAL WORK

Re p o r t o f t h e m e d i c a l m i s s i o n a u x i l i a r y . HE twenty-second year of the Medical Mission Auxiliary lias been rendered conspicuous by a significant increase in the work accomplished in the different hospitals, coupled with T many indications of the way in which our Hospital enter­ prise is establishing itself in the confidence and support of the people for whose help it has been undertaken. Taking a broad view of our Medical Mission Field we feel that whatever the difficulties, past and present, the work of our Medical Missions is moving steadily forward upon the King’s High Way. The Medical and Nursing Staff. During the past year the M.M.A. has had two men and four women doctors, and two nurses, added to its list. The Auxiliary has, however, had to mourn the loss of two nurses, one by death, Miss E. G. Roach, late of Berhampore, and another by resignation on the score of health, Miss E. A. Ede, also of Berhampore. The present staff of 33 doctors—21 men and 12 women—is the highest yet reached by the Auxiliary, and to that number have to be added nine Indian and Chinese qualified doctors, serving to-day in various hospitals. This latter figure does not include the Chinese doctors on the staff of the Shantung Christian University Hospital at Tsinan, nor does it include the staff of Native unqualified assistants, dispensers, dressers, nurses and evangelists, some. 183 in all. The existing staff of 28 Nursing Sisters is also the largest number of Mis­ sionary Norses yet recorded. The need for more doctors and nurses must not, however, be for­ gotten. There is still at this moment one hospital without a Medical Missionary, and there are four hospitals with only one doctor apiece. Then owing to impending changes at least three other hospitals will be in early need of additional doctors. On the nursing side two hospitals are still without even one nursing sister, and an urgent need exists for new nurses in three other hospitals. Hospital Accommodation, The bed accommodation amounts to a little more than last year— 788 in all. The in-patients in our hospitals have advanced by about 25 per cent., reaching the record figure of 7,306. The individual out­ patients have risen to nearly 103,000, an increase of 4,534 over the L3 94 ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT. [1924.

previous year. The total attendances of these out-patients have risen by nearly 17,000, and stand at a total of 434,447. This figure includes out-patient attendances in eight of the Congo Dispensaries in stations where there is no doctor. The number of major surgical operations marks a new record-— almost 3,000—on an average 57 a week. The local receipts show again a striking increase. Leaving the University Hospital at Tsinan out of court, the other hospital and dispensary centres have secured during the past year, in the shape of local income, an amount which, if turned into sterling, shows a total of £5,980, an advance of £1,244 over the previous year. In a number of cases from one-third to three-quarters of the local cost of the work has been met from local receipts. It is a great cause for thanksgiving that in all this work Evangelism —personal Evangelism—is playing an ever-growing part. The reports from a number of the Hospitals speak of definite spiritual fruit, and an increasing need to “ follow up ” the work done in the wards and out-patient departments. It is a matter of vital consequence for us to see that no hospital is left without adequate evangelistic help. In some way or other, whether by evangelistic missionaries or by native evangelistic workers, we must seek to harvest more sheaves from our hospital field. What Mr. Pailing is doing in Tsinan needs to be done in every hospital. SNATCHES FROM THE HOSPITAL REPORTS. I.— INDIA. The Parrer Hospital, Bhiwani. The new hospital that was opened at Bhiwani in 1923, doubling the former accommodation, has proved a great boon to patients and staff alike. The new private wards have been a great attraction for better class patients, nearly Rs.2,000 being derived from the fees paid for these wards. The larger hospital has naturally resulted in an expan­ sion of the work, but this has not meant a proportionate increase in the charge upon the Home Funds owing to the local receipts having become considerably enhanced, meeting over two-thirds of the local cost. The following comparative table will prove interesting in this Connection : Out-patient Local Cost to Beds. In-patients, attendances. Receipts. M.M.A. 1922 - - 25 432 24,382 £486 £347 1923 - - 50 591 28,613 £663 £296 The staff has been encouraged by two additions in Dr. Gladys Rutherford and Nurse Dora Sissons. The help of Miss Williams from Delhi during part of the year has been of great value amongst the Moslem women patients. 1924.] MEDICAL WORK. 95

The Rahmatpur Women’s Hospital, Palwal. The work of the Rahmatpur Women’s Hospital, Palwal, has also grown. The Infant Welfare Clinic, has proved its value, and an Ante-Natal Clinic is the next step, whenever that is possible. It is the desire of Dr. Edith Young and Nurse Rawson to devote themselves to village district work, both from the point of view of the earlier detection and treatment of disease, and the following up of the evangelistic work done in hospital. This development has been supported by Conference, but in order to allow of it being undertaken, another doctor and nurse are needed for Rahmatpur.

The Florence Toole Hospital, Palwal. Dr. Moore reports that in-patients and out-patients have increased, 10,930 of the latter making a total attendance of 23,855, an increase of 1,901 over the previous year. A bad epidemic of gangrenous ulcers and malaria has had to be fought, and major surgery has claimed a larger share in the work than before. Several successful cataract operations have helped in spreading the fame of the hospital. It is, however, in the evangelistic direction that the work of this hospital has been attended with special encouragement. In a community of low-caste people at Fatchpur, one of the branch dispensaries of the hospital, 18 have been baptized. This led to a similar community in a near village seeking to take the same step, in their case 100 strong. A spirit of enquiry is abroad, and a golden opportunity waits to be seized. Unfortunately Dr. Moore has had to go to Simla for an operation, after which, however, he hopes to return to resume the work at Palwal. Another doctor and a nursing sister are needed to reinforce the staff.

The Lady Hardinge Hospital, Dliolpur. The story of the Lady Hardinge Hospital, Dholpur, is one of considerable increase in every department of the work. Over 100 more in-patients and 5,000 more out-patients have availed themselves of hospital treatment, and the local receipts have sufficed to cover nearly 50 per cent, of the local cost. It is hoped to establish shortly a weekly dispensary midway between Dholpur and Agra, at a place where the need is great.

The Berhampore Women’s Hospital. Owing to shortage in the staff, as well as illness, this hospital had to be closed from March to December. Nurse Ede had to be invalided home in the summer, Dr. Dorothy Daintree travelling with her. Happily two new women doctors, Dr. Muriel Griffiths and Dr. Helen Gregory, have gone to reinforce the Medical staff. 96 ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT. [1924.

During the time that the hospital was closed a new Out-patient Department and other necessary additions to the Hospital have been built. Chandraghona. At Chandraghona the work has grown remarkably, and the wards have been so full that extra accommodation has had to be secured. Kala Azar has been a feature here, as in China, and success has attended the treatment of this disease. The small Leper Hos­ pital has been full, and Dr. Teichmann rejoices over two baptisms of Leper patients. The little Indian Church have themselves erected a small Chapel for the Lepers. The need for a nursing sister and another doctor has been strongly urged; as well as necessary extensions to the housing of the station and a better sanitary system for the hospital. This, however, in­ volves an outlay of nearly £2,000, and there are no funds in hand ! South Lushai. The great event of the year was the opening of the new Women’s Ward in February, 192-3. Already 7.265 attendances have been recorded at this new centre of healing, and 18 sick women have been nursed in the little ward. Midwifery, hygiene, first-aid and infant welfare are being taught to the nurses, six in number. Bolangir. In this District our small Dispensary ministers to the poor women and children of the outcaste Christian community. No fewer than 8,558 attendances were recorded at the dispensary.

If.— C H IN A . The .Shantung Christian University Medical School and Hospital, Tsinan. The following interesting facts emerge from the report of the work of this important centre, where Dr. Harold Balme, Dr. E. H. Wheeler and Dr. Laurence Ingle have been engaged in so great a task. The wards have been filled to the maximum, and a hostel has been opened for convalescent patients, giving accommodation for 23 men inmates. Of the 94 kala-azar patients which have been under treat­ ment in Tsinan, 60 have already been discharged cured. A new department has been opened for skin diseases, and an increase has been noted in the number of patients afflicted with leprosy. Rev. P. W. Pailing has given much care to the Pharmacy Department and to the evangelistic work amongst the patients. The Medical School has been very busy, and there are about 80 medical students. During the past year the school at Tsinan has been 1924.] MEDICAL WORK. 97 placed upon a co-educational basis, and there are now 18 girl students in the Medical School and 19 in the pre-Medical Department. Five new American medical women teachers have joined the staff of the school. The medical students carried through another Daily Vacation Bible School last summer, attended by 120 students. The Translation Bureau at Tsinan has been very busy, over 600,000 Chinese characters having been done during the year. The Nurses’ Training School is continuing vigorously under the superintendence of Nurse Logan and her colleagues. There are at present 40 women nurses. Three graduated in the past year, and are now in mission hospitals. The Chinese and Foreign Hospital Board of Managers has continued its work. During the year $3,250 was secured in the way of local subscriptions, in addition to the $3,000 granted by the Shantung Provincial Assembly. Mr. F. H. B. Harmon, now on furlough, has done much to cultivate local support for the hospital.

Foster Hospital, Chowtsun. Dr. Fleming and Dr. Bethell report a marked increase of in-patients, no less than 30 per cent., whilst the out-patient attendances have shown an advance of 900. A Nurses’ Training School has been opened. The local receipts have met more than one*third of the local cost, reaching the figure of £464. The evangelistic work of this hospital has been developed and systematised. The Chinese patients have shown a growing confidence in the hospital, and the work is winning its way to the hearts of the people. Tsing Chow Fu Hospital. Over 19,000 attendances were made in the Out-patient Department. And this is a hospital with only one doctor and no nurse !

Tai Yuan Fut Shansi. The notable feature of the past year at the Schofield Memorial Hospital has naturally been the disastrous fire, concerning which full reports have already been given. It is a source of satisfaction to all that Dr. E. H. Edwards has gone out to help in the re-erection of this hospital for the third time. Dr. Handley Stocklev has also gone to join his brother, Dr. Clement Stockley, at this centre. On the nursing side Miss Cropley has laid the foundations of a trained nursing system in this hospital. In spite of the fire there has been a marked increase in the in­ patients, and over 100 more surgical operations have been performed. The local contributions have met over 50 per cent, of the local cost. An outbreak of diphtheria brought the doctors into touch with 98 ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT. [1924. thousands of people. The report emphasises the willingness of patients to listen to the Gospel, and goes on to say that “ Many thou­ sands have listened to the Gospel for the first time in the Out-patient Department and in the wards. And everywhere one goes, whether in village or city, one comes into touch with old patients who are only too ready to listen. What we need is follow-up work.”

The Women’s Hospital. The statistics show that the out-patient department had 5,500 attendances ! In the midwifery section 17 major midwifery opera­ tions had to be performed, in addition to 127 major operations in the ordinary in-patient hospital! There is only one woman doctor— Dr. Marjory Edwards. It is probable that Dr. Mary Ellison will be located here after her arrival in China. On the nursing side the year has been attended with serious illness in regard to both Nurse Rossiter and Nurse Jaques. Happily they are now well again, and back at the hospital. The Nurses’ Training School at this hospital has become, during the past year, a Post Graduate School in midwifery for the Nurses’ Association of China, thus extending its influence.

Shensi: The Jenkins and Robertson Memorial Hospital, Sianfu. The facts and figures supplied from this important centre reveal yet again how striking has been the increase in the work, notwith­ standing the enforced absence of Dr. B. C. Broomhall, on account of serious illness, during several months, and the departure of Dr. and Mrs. Lees on health grounds. All this threw an extra burden on Dr. John Jones. Dr. Broomhall is now back at the hospital, and during the past winter Dr. D. J. Evans has been rendering help in the absence of Dr. Lees. He is, however, due at Tsinan in the early autumn, and another doctor must be found to help at Sianfu. Nurse Major and Nurse Rogers are finding ample scope for their service, especially among the women patients. It is anticipated that Dr. Ruth Tait will be joining the staff here in the coming autumn. The attendances of out-patients have increased by about one-third and the evangelistic work amongst the in-patients, who have num­ bered nearly 1,000, has borne definite fruit. The local receipts have made another advance, no less a sum than the equivalent of £1,360 having been obtained locally, sufficient to meet over three-fourths of the local cost of the hospital. Progress has been made with the reconstruction scheme of the hospital, and during the year an artesian well has been sunk, yielding a plentiful supply of good water. A pumping engine is being in­ stalled, and soon the hospital will have a water system and electric 1924.] MEDICAL WORK. 99

lighting. A new Nurses’ and Foreign Patients’ Home is being built this summer. Every good wish is expressed for the speedy success of the Birmingham Centenary Appeal, as one of its objectives is to provide funds for a wing of this hospital.

San Yuan. Two years ago Dr. Andrew Young was called home from active service at San Yuan—and still his place is vacant ! Dr. Li Ren, a young Chinese doctor, has nobly done what he could, but the work is too much for him alone. Nurse Dillow has laboured hard amongst the suffering people, but there are numbers who cannot be treated because of the lack of a doctor. “ When is the doctor coming ? ” That is the question that echoes again and again in the report from San Yuan.

Ilf.— CONGO. San Salvador. The past year at this hospital has been rendered much more anxious and difficult by reason of the absence of a doctor, and for most of the year one of the nurses also. Yet the report states that the work has been well maintained and the staff have rallied splendidly to help the nursing sisters. Not only natives but Europeans have been helpsd. The wife of a Portuguese trader was saved from death, in a very serious illness, by the skill and devotion of Nurse Bell, helped by Miss Coppin. The work amongst the sleeping sickness patients has been carried on, and individual out-patients have numbered 11,351, about 5,000 more than in the previous year. Grateful patients return to districts where as yet the missionaries have not commenced teach­ ing and patients have come from these far-off places. A gratifying feature of the report is news of help rendered by a Portuguese doctor sent to San Salvador by the Government to com­ bat sleeping sickness. He came to our hospital to perform these serious surgical operations, and gave advice in difficult medical cases. All rejoice to know that in the coming summer Dr. William Wilson is proceeding to San Salvador as one of our new medical missionaries for that district.

Bolobo. The number of patients discloses a marked increase, especially in respect to sleeping sickness. No fewer than 13,000 visits have been paid to the hospital for treatment, and the total out-patient attendances have risen to 46,281 ! It is hoped that by the early strengthening of the staff through the appointment of Dr. Haldane Gilmore much more district itineration will become possible, thereby 100 ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT. [1924.

enhancing the value of the work both medically and spiritually. The M.M.A. will need to build a house at Bolobo as its share in the housing of the Station. Nurse Petrie, who was invalided home in the autumn on account of illness, is anticipating a return to Bolobo in the early future. In her absence Nurse Peacop has been the only nursing sister, but Nurse Bliss is returning shortly after furlough. Stapleton Memorial, Yakusu. The work here has developed considerably during the past year under the able leadership of Dr. Gordon Spear, during the absence on furlough of Dr. Clement Chesterman. Already a beginning has been made with the erection of buildings connected with the new hospital, for which Dr. Chesterman was successful in collecting funds during his furlough. This building work will now be carried forward under the expert supervision of Mr. Arnold Chesterman, who was added to the Yakusu staff last year. On the medical side there has been much activity in the in-patient and out-patient departments and in the fight with sleeping sickness. The grants from the Belgian Colonial Government have helped greatly in the financing of the work, and the local receipts sufficed to meet nearly three-fourths the local cost. During 1924 an Infant Welfare Clinic is to be started, and it is interesting to note that the equipment is being provided by a Belgian Society which has been founded for this special work. In addition a Leper Camp is to be started on an island near Yakusu, for which the Government is promising assistance. Other extensions to the work, including assistance to the medical work at Yalemba, are in immediate prospect. Beyond this, the lines are being laid for the training of medical evangelists. On the nursing side the staff has been greatly encouraged by the addition of Nurse Owen last autumn. Nurse Head has recently left on furlough. A SUMMARY OF FIGURES.

THE HOME BASE. The year at home has been a strenuous one, and the following special points will be of interest.. At High Leigh, Hoddeston, at the close of June, the M.M.A. held a day of Prayer and Conference for Local Workers. The Auxiliary is indebted to members of the staff who have been on furlough for a truly magnificent service in the visitation of the Churches, Literature has been issued and has proved of great value. An arrangement has been made whereby the June and November issues of the B.M.S. Herald are to be special Medical issues. These will contain numerous illustrated articles, contributed mainly by our doctors and nurses. A Bed Supporters’ Bulletin is being issued twice a year, under the able and sympathetic Editorship of Mrs. Andrew Young. The Auxiliary is greatly indebted to Mrs. Lush and Miss Mabel Angus for their service in the most necessary and useful “ Wants ” Department. Altogether goods to the value of £526 10s. have been dispatched to the Hospitals.

FINANCE,

i.—THE PAST YEAR’S ACCOUNTS.

The Committee rejoice to report an increase in the general con­ tributions to the M.M.A. Fund. The receipts from subscribers and contributing churches have risen to a total of £23,266, an advance of £586 over that of the previous year. Beyond this figure a sum of £3,360 has been received in response to special hospital appeals, so that altogether the M.M.A. has raised £26,626 in actual contributions, apart from legacies. In the preceding year the corresponding total was £23,915. The sum of £4,839 has been received in the shape of legacies. The total Foreign Expenditure has amounted to £22,880, a decrease of £2,751 on the previous year. This saving has chiefly resulted from a more favourable China exchange, as well as a lessened outlay on passages and outfits. Detailed figures show that the work of the M.M.A. in India has cost £7,742, that in China, £11,999, and that in Congo, £3,139. The local receipts of the various hospitals and dis­ pensaries amounted to £5,950. The Home Expenditure has been kept down to £2,100, a saving of £288 on the year before.] Outlays amounting in all to £4,608 have had to be incurred upon new hospital buildings and equipment. 102 ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT. [1924.

The increase in the general income of the M.M.A. Fund has failed to meet the current expenditure, even though that has been smaller than in the previous years. The receipts fall short, by £1,950, and after using up the whole available balance of £1,135 left in the Legacy Reserve and Building Fund, the net deficit stands at £815. An earnest appeal has been issued for its speedy clearance. We need only state briefly the objective which it must be our endeavour to try and reach in regard to finance. That objective is to secure a further £2,000 of annual income for the M.M.A., which means approximately an advance of 10 per cent. The efforts of our friends and supporters up and down the country should be concen­ trated upon this vital task. For every £1 sent up last year the M.M.A. needs 22s. in the current year. That is not something that need appear difficult, if we face the undertaking with prayer and faith and courage. It is something that can be achieved.

THE BIBLE TRANSLATION AND LITERATURE AUXILIARY.

URING the past year the Calcutta Press printed 118,000 portions in Bengali, 17,500 in Mus-Bengali, 15,000 in Hindi, 6,000 D books in Lushai, and 500 books in Garo for this Auxiliary, and printed books, magazines, etc., to the number of 710,472. The Cuttack Press printed in all 98,432 books, magazines and reports, of which 16,500 were Scripture portions in prose or verse, and a Commentary on the Gospel by Matthew (the first in the language). The Bolobo Press has printed an edition in Kongo of “ More About Jesus,” “ Tropical Hygiene ’’—three diglots : French-Kongo, French- Bobangi, French-Lingala— “ Pilgrim’s Progress,” Parts I and II, in Bobangi. The Press at Wayika has issued 30,000 tracts, French-Swahili. (consisting of extracts from the Scriptures). A new edition of the “ »Gateway” has been issued and meets with general acceptance. The trilingual vocabulary, French-Swahili-Lokele, is in the press. The people are anxious to possess the Gospels and the Life of Christ. Mr. Charter’s “ Manual for Preachers,” which first appeared in Sinhalese, has now appeared in Chinese. In Chakma (for the Chittagong Hill Tracts) 3,000 booklets were printed. In Sinhalese two Gospels were printed. 1924.] BTBLE TRANSLATION. 103

The Lushai people have had 1,000 copies of “ Pilgrim’s Progress,” to which has been added Dr. Charles Brown’s “ Wonderful Journey,” a Hymn Book with tonic sol-fa music, a book of Church Rules, “ The Work and Teaching of the Holy Spirit,” and a retranslation of “ Come to Jesus,” by Newman Hall. “ The Story of the Bible,” in 584 pages, and “ The Meaning of Prayer ” are both urgently needed, and are estimated to cost £156 and £24 respectively. Mr. Charter’s “ Manual for Preachers ” has been translated and waits the order to print; the cost is £23. Mr. Lorrain has completed the revision of the Lushai New Testament after five years of patient work. While Mr. Evan Morgan has been home on furlough he has been endeavouring to secure support for another worker to be associated with him as colleague and successor. His great “ Dictionary of Reli­ gion and Ethics ” will be carried forward with fresh enthusiasm in the coming year.

THE HOME PREPARATION UNION.

HE work of the Home Preparation Union is going on steadily. T The students now number 324, and it is interesting to notice that 103 of these are young men. The number of new members who joined during the year is 105. There are 45 members in the Lay Preachers’ Section, 42 nurses, 12 trained teachers, and 3 medical students. There are 81 tutors. Twenty former students and four past tutors are at work under the B.M.S. on the Foreign Field. A special H.P.U. Summer School is being held for a fortnight in Ryde, Isle of Wight, this summer. 104

THE SCHOOLS FOR THE SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF MISSIONARIES. ELTHAM COLLEGE, S.E. 9, and WALTHAMSTOW HALL, SEVENOAKS.

WHAT THE SCHOOLS MEAN TO THE B.M.S.

ELL, how are the Schools getting on ? ” is a remark which sometimes greets us. W e would welcome it more often, for W not even yet do all Church members know of this special part of our missionary work which is being carried on here at home in the Schools for our missionaries’ children at Eltham and Sevenoaks. Our missionaries, because of the part they play in our great world-task, cannot keep their children with them. They must leave to others the joys and responsibilities of the loving care of their little ones. We hear much talk, from those at home, of the “ sacrifices ” of our missionaries ; this, the leaving of their children, is the sacrifice our missionaries have to face, which must sometimes challenge even their call to the work to which they have dedicated their lives. Can the Churches stand apart and think that this is not their affair ? They are sending the missionaries out, contributing to their support, thinking of them, praying for the success of their work—surely that is ample share of missionary work for those at home ! Yet the Christian homes of our missionaries in foreign lands are often only made possible by the two Schools for Missionaries’ Children. How potent an influence these homes exert, apart from the specific work of the missionary, set as they are in countries with non-Christian ideals of womanhood and childhood, only those who have known some of them from the inside can tell. Eltham College and Walthamstow Hall receive the boys and girls of these far-off homes when the time comes for England and school days, and take them sometimes when they are little more than babes, giving to them as much as possible of a home herfe, as well as education to fit them for their seilVice in after life. The Churches need these Schools, and the Society’s work would be crippled without them, for the continuance of many of our missionaries abroad depends upon our care for their children at home. And what of those boys and girls when they have passed out of the Home-Schools to greater tasks ? Many pass out again to the Mission field in the Society’s service. It is over eighty years since the schools were established, and they have a missionary record of which the Society may well be proud. The training the children receive is training for service. They are born and brought up in the atmosphere of a great adventure and a great devotion which sets its mark upon them. There are now in the Schools Forty-one Boys and Girls of B.M.S. Missionaries. In missionary bungalows in India, China and on the Congo are parents eagerly looking for the mail bearing letters from Eltham and Sevenoaks, telling of the happiness and welfare of the children they have left behind. These children are the Churches’ charge and respon­ sibility. We look forward to the day when each church whose name appears in this report, caring for the B.M.S., shall add to what it sends a further gift for the children of those who serve the Society abroad.

HOME AND HOSTEL.

The Mission House at Kettering, and the Students’ Hostel in London.

I—THE KETTERING FURLOUGH HOME. HE old mission house at Kettering, known as the scene of the formation of the Society in 179 2, is now established as a T Furlough Home for missionaries, and as an interesting week­ end and holiday resort for their friends. Purchased, renovated, and refurnished through the beneficent activities of the Baptist Laymen’s Movement, it was formally opened in October of 1922, when the deeds were handed to the Treasurer of the Society and the building of holy memories solemnly dedicated to the uses of the Society for all the days to come. The house stands almost in the heart of the town of Kettering, within easy reach of Fuller Chapel and the shopping centre; and Kettering is in the heart of the “ Carey Country,” with Moulton six miles and Northampton twelve miles away. The House is ten minutes’ walk from Kettering Station, is centrally heated, and has three reception rooms and twelve bedrooms. There is a special playground for children. Missionaries anticipating furlough should make early application, so that accommodation may be reserved for them. Rooms can also be booked for week-ends and other short periods. Enquiries should be addressed to the Warden, the Rev. John Howell, The Mission House, Kettering, or to Mr. W. Parker Gray, Rush Mills, Northampton.

II—THE ORIENTAL STUDENTS’ HOSTEL. The Oriental Students’ Hostel was opened on June 27th, 1923, to be a residence for Indian students staying in London. There are some six hundred Indian students attached to London University, and their presence is a challenge and opportunity for the Christian Church. The Hostel is situated in the Stamford Hill District (54, Amhurst Park), and has accommodation for twenty-five men. It has been purchased and fitted up by the Baptist Laymen’s Movement, and the Wardens in charge are Mr. and Mrs. Sutton Page, formerly of Dacca, who have had long experience of student work in India. Under their management the guests at the Hostel will be assured of a happy and refined home life and a sympathetic atmosphere. With .the approval of the members of the family, the Hostel has been associated with the name of Sir Alfred Pearce Gould, the first President of the Baptist Laymen’s Movement, and it will be known as “ The A.P.G. Hostel.” The undertaking is commended to the prayer and support of all friends of the Mission. Enquiries should be made to the Warden, Rev. W. Sutton Page, B.A., B.D., O.B.E., at 54, Amhurst Park, Stamford Hill, London, N.W.
