NOTICE IN REFERENCE TO BEQUESTS.

As the kind intentions of some of the deceased friends of the Society have been rendered abortive for want of correct knowledge of the law relating to Charitable Bequests, the Committee call special attention to the following directions:— By Statute 6 Geo. II. cap. 36, commonly called the Mortmain Act, it is enacted, Section 1, that after the 24th June, 1736, “ no manors,lands, tenements, rents, advowsons, or other hereditaments, cor­ poreal or incorporeal, whatsoever; nor any sum or sums of money, goods, chattels, stocks in the public funds, securities for money, or any other personal estate whatsoever, to be laid out or disposed of in the purchase of any lands, tenements, or hereditaments, shall be given, granted, alienated, limited, released, transferred, assigned, or appointed, or any ways conveyed or settled to, or upon, any person or persons, bodies politic or corporate, or otherwise, for any estate or interest whatsoever, or any ways charged or incumbered by any person or persons whatsoever in trust, or for the benefit of any charitable uses whatsoever, u n l e s s such gift, conveyance, appointment, or settlement of any such lands, tenements, or hereditaments, sum or sums of money, or personal estates (other than stocks in the public funds) be, and be made by d e e d , indented, sealed and delivered, in the presence of two or more credible witnesses, twelve calendar months at least b e f o r e t h e d e a t h of such donor or grantor (including the days of the execution and death), and be enrolled in His Majesty's High Court of Chancery, within six calendar months next after the execution thereof; a n d u n l e s s such s t o c k » be transferred in the public books usually keptfor the transfer of stock, six calendar months at least before the death of such donor or grantor (including the days of the transfer and death), a n d u n l e s s the same be made to take effect in p o s s e s ­ s i o n for the charitable uses intended immediately from the making thereof; a n d b e w i t h o u t any powe of revocation, reservation, trust, condition, limitation clause or agreement whatsoever, for the benefit of the donor or grantor, or any person or persons claiming under Mm." The third section of the statute enacts “ That all gifts, grants, conveyances, appointments, assurances, transfers, and settlements whatsoever, of any lands, tenements, or other hereditaments, or of any estate cr interest therein, or of any charge or incumbrance affecting or to affect any lands, tenements, or hereditaments, or of any stock, money, goods, chattels, or other personal estate, or securities for money to be laid out or disposed of in the purchase of any lands, tenements, or hereditaments, or of any estate or interest therein, or of any charge or incumbrance affecting, or to affect, the same to, or in trust for, any charitable uses whatsoever, which shall at any time from and after the 24th June, 1736, be made in any oilier form than by this Act is directed and appointed, shall be a b s o l u t e l y , and to all intents and purposes, n u l l a n d v o i d .” Upon these enactments it may be observed:— 1st. That the Baptist Missionary society is a Charitable Institution, within the meaning of this Act. 2ndly. Land, money arising out of land, or money secured on land wholly or partly, and whether freehold or leasehold, can be given to a charity only by deed in manner directed by the statute. 3rdly. Not only cannot a will pass to a charity any property of the above description, but no money- legacy given to a charity can be satisfied out of such property. If, therefore, a testator has only land, mortgages, rent-charges, debentures, or securities on land, the legacy will fail altogether; if his estate be mixed it will fail to the extent of the proportion of this property to pure personalty. If A. having £1,500; namely. £500 at his bankers, and ¿1,000 on mortgage, gives £100 to a charity, the bequest will only be worth £33 6i. 8d. Railway and canal shares are pure personalty, und may be used to satisfy a charitable lcgacy, but not railway debentures. By 1 Vic. cap. 26, sec. 9, it is further enacted, “ That no will shall be valid, unless it shall be in writing, and executed in manner hereinafter mentioned (that is to say): it shall be signed at the foot or end thereof by the Testator, or by some other person in his presence or by his direction: and such signa ture shall be made or acknowledged by the Testator in the presence of two or mare Witnesses present at the same time ; and such Witnesses shall attest and sh»U subscribe the will in the presence of the Testator; tut no Form of Attestation shall be necessary.” N.B.—Wills executed prior to the first day of January, 1838, are not affected by this act; but any alteration therein, or codicil thereto, must be executed in the manner before mentioned. ■The following Form of Bequest may be safely adopted by those who wish to bequeath such property as may be left by will for this purpose

FORM OF BEQUEST. I give to the Treasurer or Ti-easurers for the time being, of the Baptist Missionary Society, the sum of £ sterling, to be paid exclusively out of such parts of my personal estate, not specifically bequeathed, as may lawfully be given by will to charity, and not to abate wnle&s there should be no other fund for the payment in full of my other legacies, and in such case only rateably with my otfter pecuniary or general legacies.

I f any friends wish to bequeath property for Translations or Schools, it is .'only necessary to say Instead of the General Fund, the Translation Fund, or the School Fund. It is proper to observe, that the aboyé restrictive statute does not extend to Scotland, Ireland, or the Colonics. 1877.] EIGHTY-FIFTH REPORT. COMMITTEE AND OFFICERS— 1877-78.

On THURSDAY EVENING, APRIL 26th, 1877.

M r . A LD ERM AN JBARRAN, M.P. for L e e d s, in th e Ch a ir .

1. The Meeting was opened by singing and prayer, conducted by M r. A. H . B aynes and the Rev. J. P. C h o w n .

2. The Ch airm an addressed the Meeting.

3. The Rev. C lem en t B a il h a c h e gave a statement of the Society’s operations during the past year.

4. The Treasurer, J oseph T r it t o n , Esq., presentei the Balance- sheet and addressed the Meeting.

5. The first resolution, as follows, moved by the Rev. W . M. S ta th am , o f Canonbury, and seconded by the Rev. C. H . Spurgeon, was agreed to unanimously :— That this meeting expresses its devout thankfulness to God for the success which has attended the labours of the missionaries of the society in all the fields into ■which its operations extend ; for the new translations of the Word of God which have been made, and for the continued and increasing circulation of the Scriptures ; for the many proofs of increasing interest in the Gospel, which are given in India and elsewhere ; for the blessing whicb has attended the instruction of the young ; and for the liberality of the churches at home, particularly during a year of wide­ spread commercial depression, and of extraordinary claims on the generosity of the denomination.

6. The second resolution, as follows, was moved by S. D . W a d d y , Esq., Q.C., M.P., and seconded by the Rev. J. Sm it h , of Delhi, and agreed to unanimously :— This meeting rejoices to learn that five missionaries have gone out into the field during the year, and that thus the missions in China and in Italy have been materially strengthened. It offers its sympathy to the brethren who, through ill- health, have been compelled to retire from active work, and to the bereaved relatives of those whom God has called to the home above. It fervently prays that “ the Lord of the harvest would thrust forth more labourers into His harvest,” and that the sacrifice and consecration which this blessing will devolve upon the churches may be abundantly manifested. 7. The Meeting was closed with the Doxology and Benediction. EIGHTY-FIFTH REPORT.

“ m H E Kingdom of God cometh not with observation! ” neverthe- less, it comes. These two facts sum up the history of the great missionary enterprises of the Christian Church, both as regards their growth and their results. The first is apt to test the patience and faith of the earnest worker who longs for immediate success; the second is his thankful conviction, as from time to time, and even at comparatively short intervals, he reviews what has been accomplished. Looking back over the whole period of eighty-five years, the changes wrought by Missions in the heathen world have been simply marvellous; and each year’s work carries on the process with quickened speed. The leaven of Christian truth is working in the great mass of humanity, and is gradually raising it up to the position from which it will more easily pass into a whole­ some and beneficial spiritual life. W e believe that much more has been accomplished during the past eighty-five years than the faith of even the great and good men who started the modem missionary enterprise led them to anticipate. We are sure that much more has been done than our own devotedness and self-sacrifice have given us the right to expect. Our God has put to a Divinely generous use the smn.H efforts of His Church, and “ has done great things for us, whereof we are glad.” The feelings incumbent upon us are devout gratitude to Him, humiliation for ourselves, and earnest desires for a more complete consecration to His cause. May the next anniversary show how we have cherished these feelings, and how our God has increased the blessing. 1 2 EiGHTY-FIFTH REPORT. [1877.

GENERAL TESTIMONIES OF BRETHREN TO THE YEAR’S WORK.

Beginning nearest home, our agents in France speak of their work as having been more than ordinarily encouraging. The influence of the character of the members of our churches is such as to excite inquiry concerning the doctrines they profess, and the remark is frequently made, “ If the conduct of these Protestants is the result of the truth they hold, it is worth while knowing what that truth is.” The year has been characterised as singularly free from official interference, the Republic being decidedly more favourable to freedom in religious matters than the Empire was. Of the work in Italy, from all we learn the hopes of our agents there are raised to a high degree, and they are looking forward to their realisation. A spirit of earnest inquiry is abroad; and, since the beginning of our Mission in that country, the simple doctrines of the Gospel were never more seriously listened to, nor with more manifest results. In Norway, the testimony of all our agents is that the year has been one of more than ordinary blessing. Mr. Svenson, of Christiania, says : “ During the last year the Lord has abundantly blessed us in our work. Has it in several respects been a year of many tears, it has, however, been a year of gladness. We have had many difficulties to overcome, but the Kingdom of God has succeeded.” And Mr. Sjodahl, our new missionary in Trondjhem, says: “ God has wonderfully worked amongst us this year.” Accounts from our West Indian stations are not quite so en­ couraging, but the missionaries are far from speaking despondingly. It is from India, however, that the most cheering testimony comes. The following are among many statements of the same character :— Mr. Guyton, of Delhi, says: “ Brief as my report is, it is an outline of-very pleasant work, in which I am sure I have been blessed, while I hope I have been of use to others. I cannot consider that the year has been an eventful one, but it has been, in the truest sense, prosperous.” Messrs. Kerry and Martin, reporting of the Barissal district, say : “ The number o f the Christian people is steadily increasing. The increase is, doubtless, chiefly from within, but there in a quiet and EIGHTT-'FIFTH REPORT. 3 steady increase from the heathen constantly going on. The number •of the Christian community, counting men, women, and children, is nearly double what it was sixteen years ago. The people are learning, and evidently have learnt, that there is a high and pure morality as an essential part of the religion of Christ.” Of Jessore, Mr. Spurgeon ^reports: “ The church has grown in unity, independence of spirit, and, I trust, also in grace." Mr. Bate, of Allabahad, says that the last year was one of the most interesting and happy of all the years which he has spent in connection with the Mission.

B enares.— Mr. Jones, recently accepted as a full missionary, writes : u Our Mission in India is progressing; the scoffs, the ridicule, and the calumny of our enemies, notwithstanding.” Finally, Mr. Bion, of Dacca, expresses the following conviction: “ But one thing I feel surer and surer every year, namely, that a harvest is coming which shall overshadow all our toils and self- denials ; when our hearts, if not in this world, then in the next shall be filled with joy unspeakable and full of glory at the marvel­ lous doings of our risen Saviour.” This testimony is fully entitled to our credit. It is that of earnest men who are certainly not oblivious of the difficulties that surround their work. Some of them have been in the field for many years, and have often had to speak of their disappointments and trials. They are not, as a rule, apt to take too sanguine views of things. When, therefore, they deliberately express their convictions and hopes, we may trust them and be thankful.

HINDRANCES.

So far as these spring from the depravity of the human heart, the Gospel has to meet with them everywhere, at home as well as abroad. Abroad, however, they are strengthened by the influence of ages of heathenism. We have to speak, not of these, but of such as act locally, and which arise partly from the opposition made by decaying systems of false religion to the truth as it is in Jesus, and partly from perversions of Christian truth itself. As an illustration of the first, we quote the following from the report of Mr. Bate, of Allahabad ;— 1* 4 EIGHTY-FIFTH REPORT. [1877,

On other occasions persons have been actually paid by natives of wealth, and position to dog my steps and do their best to stop the preaching. For this purpose the most unscrupulous rowdy is generally selected, and everything which a reckless disregard for truth could devise is uttered against the British Government, against the Queen and her people, against Christ, and against His followers. Of course, all such cases have to be treated according to their respective requirements. It has to be continually borne in mind that the object of the opponents and of those who send them is to divert attention from the main thing and prevent the Gospel from being made known. On one occasion a Yogi (Hindu ascetic), whose speciality it is to create a most hideous and uproarious noise with his mouth (the said noise being the means by which he frightens the more timid of the people into giving him alms), comes into the midst of my hearers, and all on a sudden frightens everybody by setting up his noise. Of course his object is attained when the attention of the people is diverted and some of them go away. My only way of keeping them together under these circum­ stances is to preach on as if nothing had occurred. But the people are bo priestridden that they are afraid to tell the noisy intruder not to make a fool of himself. How should they, for he is holy, and it is his way of earning his living P Besides, an imprecation pronounced against them by one so near to God as he is, would blight their families and their fields for generations yet to come. On one occasion a man brought a cage, containing a large bird, which gave forth a series of frightful screams. He held the creature aloft so as to divert attention from what I was saying, and to create amusement.

Of the second class of hindrances are the proselyting efforts of the Roman Catholics, who, in some of our stations, as, e.g., in, Khoolnea, bribe excluded members to join them. They prefer this work to seeking to teach the Mohammedans and Hindoos. Mr. Rouse gives the following account of these Romish manoeuvres:—

A striking feature of the work of the last few years has been the per­ sistent efforts of the Roman Catholics to draw away the Protestants of the South from the Gospel which they have received. Thus far they have not met with much success among our people; but the Church of England Christians have gone over to them in shoals. Thirty or forty years ago the Propagation Society sent its agents among our people, establishing rival places of worship in villages where there were Baptists, and, by plentiful donations of money, drew off a great many of our people. With the measure which they meted it has been measured to them again. The Roman Catholics, adopting precisely the same tactics, have drawn away a large number of the adherents of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel—in some places, almost the whole of them. It is a cheering fact that tkus far our people have, for 1*877.] EIGHTY-FIFTH REPORT. 5 the most part, held fast. Some, of course, have gone over to tike Romanists—that is, as far as outwardly joining them is concerned; but they have no real faith in the system; it is the money which has drawn them over. Some who have left us have come back, and others may come back too, especially if the money should begin to fail! And, o f course, those who have left us for money were no real strength to us. But, considering the poverty and comparative ignorance of the people, the subtlety of the priest’s arguments, and the convincing effect which a few rupees would be likely to have, it is certainly a cheering fact that so few of our people have gone over to them. A sermon which I preached lately at Luckyantipore led to a challenge from the priest to a public discussion, which, under the circumstances, I thought it wise to accept. It took place on February 9th of the present year (1877). I hope good may come of it. I think the trial to which our brethren are exposed in this matter will tend to strengthen their faith, and thus that God will, as He so often does, bring good out of evil. The Bomish estimate of the comparative strength of our position and that of the Church of England, in resistance to their claims, may be judged of from the fact that they say the Church of England is moderate Satan, but the Baptist system is out-and-out Satan!

Another hindrance is indicated in the following extract from Mr. barter’s report of work in Ceylon :— I f our object were to employ any and all means to bring men into the Christian name, we might succeed in enrolling a great many; but as we wait till persons give evidence of disinterested piety, we find but few to approve of. We are at times under the painful necessity of exposing and seeking to counteract that soul-destroying error of baptismal regene­ ration to be found in the Church of England prayer-book and catechism, both in Singhalese and Tamil, in which it is translated in some passages with even more distinctness and force than it has in English. It is to be hoped that the present ecclesiastical agitation in Ceylon will result in the Church missionaries and their society not only striking a decisive blow for freedom from man, but, what is of far more conse­ quence, for freedom from what even they themselves regard as error. May the Spirit of Q-od guide us all to teach only what is truth, and to build into his church only what will bear the test of fire.

And, lastly, here and there our brethren have been tried by the intrusion of Plymouth brethrenism. In Norway, for instance, it succeeded for a time in seriously dividing the church at Bergen. This was sorely felt, as it was an added trouble to the hostility of the Lutheran clergy, who represent Baptists as heretics who deny the divinity of Christ, and as hostile to the religious welfare of children. 6 EIGHTY-FIFTH REPORT. [1877-

THE NATIVE CHURCHES.

The most important consideration in connection with these churches is the character of the religious life which is being de­ veloped in them. Are the native Christians honouring the profession they have made 1 Do they advance in Scriptural knowledge ? Are they growing in grace ? Is their influence on the surrounding heathen such as to commend the truth they have received? To all these questions your Committee can give satisfactory replies. The reports received from India substantiate the testimony which was given by an experienced missionary from Bengal some time ago ; a- testimony which may apply to other parts of India as well:— “ They bear a character differing widely from that of the heathen. They take a deep interest in the worship of God, and evidently rejoice in the spread of His Kingdom. Their moral sense has been quickened, and, as the result of this, those immoral deeds which are exceedingly prevalent among the. heathen are very rare among them...... Their treatment of their wives contrasts with the harsh treatment which many Hindoo women are subjected to. They treat them with far more consideration and kindness, and make them to a much greater extent, I believe, their companions. . . . I regard them as being fairer in their dealings with one another, and more honest than the heathen. In respect to the use of bad language the differ­ ence between them and the heathen is very noticeable. The heathen think little of giving false witness in courts of justice ; our genuine converts shrink from doing what they have learned from God’s Word to be so wrong. . . . I know a good many who have made such progress in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour that I confide in them almost, if not quite, as much; as I do in our fellow- Christians in England.” Equally decided is the testimony of Dr. Caldwell, one of the most experienced missionaries of Southern I n d ia —“ I maintain that the real earnest Christians of our Indian missions have no need to shrink from comparison with the real earnest Christians in a similar station in life, and similarly circum­ stanced, in England, or in any other part of the world. . . . I do not for a moment pretend that they are free from imperfections; on the contrary, living amongst them as I do from day to day, I see 1877.] EIGHTY-FIFTH REPOET. 7 their imperfections daily, and daily do I reprove, rebuke, exhort, as I see need; but I am bound to say that when I have gone away any­ where, and look back upon the Christians of this country from a distance, or compare them with what I have seen and known of Christians in other countries, I have found that their good qualities have left a deeper impression on my mind than their imperfections.’ * A very important question in connection with the growth and development of the native churches is that of self-help, .and so of independence. That the native churches should be permanently dependent upon Mission funds and under Mission control, was never contemplated by the earliest missionaries of the Society. When, as yet, the number of native Christians was very small, the missionaries were clear that it was their duty to advise the converts to form themselves, as soon as possible, into separate churches, to choose their pastors and deacons from among themselves, and to learn to act without the interference of the European missionary. It was taken for granted, also, that, under such circumstances, the native churches would naturally learn to support their ministers and .provide for the continuance of all the ordinances of Christian worship- This healthy 'principle, though cordially assented to, has not been, carried out to any such extent as might have been expected. Till comparatively recently, everything has been done for the native churches which they were thought unwilling and unable to do for themselves. Their unwillingness was the natural outcome of their dependence, and their pleas of inability, in many instances, were ex­ aggerated. Your Committee are now pledged to the development of ■native independence and self-support. English missionaries are no longer to be the pastors of native churches, except in cases where the necessity is imperative, and such, cases are very rare. In this matter, as well as in the general application of the principle above stated, it is gratifying to know that the missionaries are now in almost complete accord with the Committee. Mr. Smith’s experiment ■in .Delhi has been very stimulating to others. In the. native churches of the South villages,,Mr. Kerry for years has carried, out the Com­ mittee’« instructions, and the churohes have been urged to supple­ ment, by their own liberality, the yearly diminishing help given from * Indian “ Christian Spectator,” 1873. 8 EIGHTY-FIFTH REPORT. [1877.

England. Mr. Kerry and Mr. Martin are entrusted with the same duty in the churches in Backergunge. The experiment is only a partial success, and it is just possible to press changes forward a little too fast. But neither abroad nor at home is it likely that we shall forget to use the means by which a stronger and more manly Christian life may be developed. Your Committee feel sure that, year by year, there will be increasing progress in this direction. It is needful, however, that the churches at home should under­ stand the difficulties with which our missionaries have to contend. These are very forcibly as well as faithfully put by Mr. Kerry in a paper which was read at the late Conference in Calcutta. We abridge them here, but in substance they are as follows :— 1. “ The people have not really been taught to give to the cause of Christ. In word probably they have been taught faithfully enough, but in deed (the most effective way of teaching) they have been taught the reverse. An evil custom has been established among the people— they have had only to ask and to get; often they have got, almost without asking, from the Society, chapels, rents, mats or seats, books, pastors, and teachers. Some of the facts which have come to my knowledge make me ready to think that all has been done possible to make it more difficult to return to a more Scriptural order of things.” 2. “ Another difficulty arises from the natural dependence of the people. Most of those who are connected with us want to lean upon some one ; and certainly and especially was it so in the early days of the Mission. The converts became exposed, as they do still, to many new dangers and troubles when they left the faith of their fathers. But these difficulties are much less than they were.” 3. A third difficulty arises from the tendency to dispute and divisions among the people. 4. General ignorance. 5. “ One more difficulty arises from interference of other denomi­ nations. There are two quarters from which opposition to our Missions has come in the past— the agents of the Homan Catholic Church and the agents of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts. Opposition has come from both of these amongst our people to the south of Calcutta. This opposi­ 1877.] EIGHTY-FIFTH REPORT. 9 tion, so far as the agents of the Society for the Propagation of the •Gospel are concerned, has very much abated of late years, but it has been increasingjjduring the last five or six years from Roman Catholic priests. If we had only been opposed by the introduction of con­ troversy, the difficulty of maintaining our ground would not have been so great, but mercenary influences were used freely by the. Society for the Propagation of the Gospel’s agents between thirty and forty years ago; and now the priests of Rome are, I understand, largely spending funds with the view of increasing their adherents from among the Christian communities of the South. In the first attack upon our Missions in these villages south of Calcutta it seemed at one time that all our work would be destroyed.

BIBLE AND PUBLICATION WORK. It is hard to realize the wonderful change wrought .during the ■eighty-five years of our missionary history in connection with the spread of the Word of God almost all over the world. Let us be permitted to offer to our friends the following brief summary. It is computed that at the close of the last century there were probably not five millions of copies of the Word of God, in whole or in part, in the whole world, and these not accessible to more than forty-five or fifty millions of persons. At that time there were districts in Scotland and in Wales in which the Bible was to be found only in the parish churches, and even in London there were whole streets in which, it is alleged, the Bible could not be found in any house. It was, primarily, to meet the home need that, in 1804, the British and Foreign Bible Society was formed. The whole heathen world was -without the Word of God. Our first missionaries had the high honour of commencing the great, the holy, the essential work of Bible translation ; and how they were specially fitted for their task, and how the Lord prospered them, need not be repeated here. Suffice it to say that, not our Society alone, but all kindred societies besides, are profiting to-day by the fruit of their labours. Since the beginning of the work, the Bible, as a whole or in portions, has been translated into two hundred and ten of the languages spoken among men. These languages express the thoughts of nearly four-fifths of the whole human race, and the time is not far distant when men of 10 EIGHTT'-PIPTH REPORT. [1877. every tribe will be able to-read “ ¡the^wonderful works of G od” in their own tongue. Thirty-six o f:these, languages had no written form until Christian missionaries created it. They have done the •work of heroes: work which had it been accomplished for secular purposes would have: secured from the rworld their lasting renown : but they did it for Christ, and “ their record is on.high.” Not only is the Bible circulated in so many of the vernacular anguages of the nations, but, with the wonderful spread of the English language, there is also a wide circulation given to our English Bible. At Madras, in 1807, a gentleman endeavoured to purchase a Bible, but failed to procure one in any of the shops there, as the Bible was not a marketable article in India. Now the English Bible may be purchased cheaply in almost every town in India, and very frequently the natives purchase it in preference to the transla­ tions in their own languages. During the past year a good share of the work has been done by Mr. Rouse, in connection with our dear and revered friend, Dr. Wenger. Mr. Rouse reports his literary labour as follows :— This work has been a good deal hindered by my illness. I have, how­ ever, been able to go on with the Commentary on Isaiah in Bengali. Notes have been prepared to chapter xlix., and the work is in type to chapter xl., uniform with Dr. Wenger’s Commentary on the New Testa­ ment. I hope the whole will be finished in two or three -months, and that then I may be able to commence a Commentary on Jeremiah, or some other Old Testament book. I have prepared a small tract on idolatry, consisting chiefly of selected Scripture passages, which has been accepted by the Calcutta Tract Society. Feeling the great impor­ tance of providing systematic Christian teaching for our village Chris­ tians, I have also commenced the preparation of a monthly tractate, called “ Scripture Teaching.” It contains twelve pages, 12mo., and consists of eight selected chapters of the Bible, two for each Sunday of the month, with brief and simple practical lessons. The January number will give an idea of the plan proposed :—Gen. i. (The Creation); Johni. 1—18 (The Word, in the beginning, Who became incarnate); Gen. ii. (The.Earthly Paradise); Gen. i. 1—3; Exodus xx. 8—11; Isa. viii. 13, 14; Matt. xii. 1—13 (The Law of the Sabbath); Eph. v. (Christian life; Sacredness of marriage, dating from Eden); Rev. xxii. (The Heavenly Paradise); Gen. iii. (The F all); Rom. v. (Recovery through Christ). On each chapter there are eight or ten practical remarks. This is an experiment; how it will succeed I do not know ; but many, of different denominations, have expressed themselves as much pleased with the idea. 1877.] EIGHTY-FIFTH REPORT. 11

Mr. Bate reports on his literary work as :follows :— I have, during the year, examined several vernacular publications o f the Tract Society, and of the Christian Vernacular Education Society. At the beginning of the year a letter was sent to me from the Government of India, asking for an expression of opinion in reference to the improve­ ment of vernacular literature. My reply received the thanks of Govern­ ment, and was afterwards printed in the Friend of India. I send you herewith, a slip containing the article. The new translation of the Old Testament into the Hindi language progresses slowly. You were good enough to mention in your printed Beport that my book, “ Studies in Islam,” would contain counsels to my fellow-missionaries in reference to their work. Not at all; the nature of the enterprise is adequately indi­ cated in the title of the book. I could not presume to be an instructor of a class of men from whom I would willingly learn. The book will be rather a kind of storehouse of facts and arguments in Telation to the points of difference between the doctrines of the Oreseent and those o f the Gross; and I am seeking so .to construct the Work that missionaries throughout the Mohammedan countries may find in it a sure reply to every objection which a Moslem, as such, can raise against the claims of Ghrist. Already I have been labouring at the work for four years, off and on; and I hope to see it completed by the expiration of the' next seven years, if God sees fit to continue to me. life and health. Mr. Carter, of Ceylon, says :— In giving a report of our work for the past year, we have to record with thankfulness and joy, that one work, on which the greater part of my labour for more than thirteen years has been expended, is now brought to a conclusion—the work of translating and printing the Old Testament in Singhalese. Including the New Testament, it is nearly twenty years since the work of translating the whole Bible was com­ menced. My hope is that I may yet be spared to ¡put a finishing stroke to the work by revising the New Testament and issuing it uniform with the Old. At the close of 1875 we had printed as far as the end of Ezekiel, and during the past year the remaining portions—the Books of Daniel and the minor prophets—have been printed. These would have been finished before the middle of the year, but that our supply of paper ran short, and it was some months before we could procure any more, and the printing was not finished till Deoember. We have had a few copies bound, but they are done so.indifferently that we.must-have

far as the 19th chapter of Luke. An edition of a Singhalese hymn- book, which we had prepared, containing only fifty-five hymns, and printed about five years ago, being exhausted, and in great requisition amongst our churches, we have increased the number of hymns to 125, re-arranged the whole, and printed an edition of one thousand. These will be bound in a good permanent form, and sold at one shilling a copy. Eleven of these were made by our native pastor in Kandy, who had come to understand what was required, and the burden of the rest fell upon me ; for no Singhalese persons have yet succeeded in making verses in regular foot and accent, or at all answering to their various designations. Mr. Ellis has completed the Bengali Manual of Christian duty, the Gospel of Matthew, in Bengali-Mussulmani. He has also translated into Bengali the first and second English reading-books •of the Calcutta Tract Society. Messrs. Wenger, Rouse, and others greatly assisted him in his Bengali-Mussulmani work. Mr. Ellis was also requested to visit Delhi at the time of the Durbar, and there he presented several copies of the Scriptures to the chiefs then assembled. Among the publications of the year we must notice the “ Life of John Chamberlain,” written by our respected brother, C. B. Lewis, ‘of Calcutta, in the midst of much bodily weakness. The Committee purchased five hundred copies of it for sale and distribution. The following resolution also was passed :— That the very cordial thanks of the Committee be given to the Rev. C. B. Lewis for his stimulating and sympathetic sketch of “ John Chamberlain,” which, in the judgment of the Committee, cannot fail to do good, and which they hope, in the words of the writer of it, “ may awaken a spirit of kindred consecration in the minds of many who may read it.” BIBLE CIRCULATION. This useful work is being done by all our agents, of every degree; by missionaries, native teachers, schoolmasters, colporteurs and the visitors in the Zenanas. It is difficult to approximate very nearly to the numbers of the circulation of Scriptures in different parts of the world, but probably they have been no fewer, in all directions and from all sources, than eight millions of Bibles and portions during the past year, i.e., at the rate of more than fifteen per minute the whole year round. Into how many hands these Scriptures may have fallen it is not possible "to tell, but it will not be considered an exaggeration if we multiply 1877.] EIGHTY-FIFTH REPORT. the number by five, and thus suppose that some forty millions of persons may have obtained at least a sight of the Word o f God. Our own share in the distribution is hard to calculate, as so much of it is done through different Auxiliary Bible Societies, but pro­ bably some hundred and fifty thousand copies have passed through the hands of our agents. In Italy alone, through the generous kindness of Mr, By lands, of Manchester, Mr. Wall and his colleagues,, have had the disposal of fifty thousand copies of the New Testament in Italian. One encouraging feature of this department of our work is the fact that the greater proportion of the Scriptures thus put into circulation are not given away, but are bought, at a low price indeed j but still they are paid for. As a proof of the awaken­ ing of religious interest this is valuable. Here and there, indeed the circulation of Scripture is looked upon with special dislike, and some instances have occurred in which the Bible has been ignomin- iously tom to pieces and flung away. Even then the tom fragments have not been shorn of their Divine power. Mr. Bate illustrates, this, and says :— Let it not be supposed that the fragments of leaves of books and tracts torn up and thrown, to the winds are forgotten by the Master. Instances have not been few of late years iu which a piece of a tom leaf has conveyed the seed of eternal life to heathen men. You have heard of some instances, and have printed accounts of them in your Herald. Another instance has during the past year come to my notice. A young Mohammedan of Futtehpore, a city some 120 miles westward of Allahabad, strolling slowly along the bazaar, picked up a scrap of printed paper which lay on the ground. The broken piece contained a few verses of the 7th chapter of the Gospel of John. The words were used by the Divine Spirit for the production of conviction in his mind, and the result was his conversion to Christ and his identification with His people in that city. Tom up in umbrage, as no doubt the little book was, God once more fulfilled His word, and caused even the wrath of man to praise Him. Mr. Jenkins, of Morlaix, gives us the following interesting case :— Passing through a small hamlet one day, our colporteur heard of a man who was said to be a Protestant. Surprised, he looked for him, and found him. He was a farmer in good circumstances, of very in­ quisitive turn of mind. Dissatisfied with the political and religious state of the country, he went about saying everywhere that a reform was necessary, and would come. What was remarkable was that, although uneducated, he had laid hold of the scanty passages of 14 EIGHTY-FIFTH REPORT. [1877.

Scripture contained in the map book, bad learnt them .by heart, and attacked the clergy right and left on that ground. To such a man a ■copy of the Scriptures was a boon. He read it, committed large portions to memory, and went about his neighbours’ houses reading the book and reciting ~wbat he knew. Apart from our influence, an interesting work has begun here. I have often Asked this friend to allow me to preach in his house, but he has thought it more prudent to wait until full liberty is given; “ and then,” he says, “ I’ll put jny own shoulder to the wheel.”

AUXILIARY WORK.

Temperance.— There was intemperance in India before the influence of English rule and the introduction of intoxicating liquors from Europe. There can be no doubt, however, that of late years drunkenness has been on the increase. Hence the earnest efforts of not a few of our missionaries to diminish the evil. Crusades against intemperance are not the preaching of the Gospel, and your Committee would regret the diversion of the energies o f your missionaries into a channel which, though legitimate enough for others, is not that into which theirs should chiefly run. We do not think there is any reason for alarm on this account. Some of your most active missionaries are among the most earnest promoters of the temperance cause, using it as an auxiliary to the Gospel. Thus, Mr. Gregson, of Agra, whose mis­ sionary activity is well known, says :— “ The importance of this special department of mission work is becoming more and more recognised. As a power for good in furthering the Church of Christ in India, the work is needed among civilians as well as soldiers, and we have had great cause to thank God for the abundant blessing1 He has granted to this work Many have been led to give up drinking habits and accept the message of redeeming, love, and we hope that the work of Temperance will be so conducted that it may always receive the gracious approval of the Divine Master.” In this wish we most devoutly concur.. Rather more than a year ago several of the members of the Missionary Conference met in Calcutta to consider the desirability of forming a Temperance Association in connection with their Mission work. Among them were brethren Rouse, JEvans, Anderson, Ethermgton, Hallam, Jones, S. P. Buksh, and Projonath Banerjea. 1877.] EIGHTY-TIFTH 'REPORT'. 15

The brethren above mentioned are all interested in the good cause, and many more are so ; in fact it is almost the exception not -to find a Temperance Society ;in connection with the Stations. The native churches, particularly, have taken up the matter with some zeal. Our native preacher, Amritta Lall Nath, writing about the church at Johnnugger, says:— “ Drunkenness, which prevailed to an alarming extent, has been apparently thoroughly eradicated. A few months ago a Total Abstinence Society was started, and I am thankful to say that about forty members have solemnly promised to abstain from all intoxicating drugs all their lives; a need which has long been felt.” Mr. Evans says of the native church at Monghyr :— “ The members are ardent supporters of our temperance movement; nearly all are pledged abstainers.” The Committee know that an increasing number of the friends of the Mission sympathise with this department of the work done. The wisdom of the missionaries may be trusted to keep in its true position as an auxiliary to the preaching of the Gospel and to the moral influence of the native church. As such may the movement abundantly prosper. Work among Soldiers.— Our missionaries, whenever they have been placed in favouring circumstances for the purpose, have always shown a deep interest in the religious and moral condition of the British soldier in India. What our brother J. G. Gregson and others have done for him is well known. This good work is still carried on. Our brethren have lately found a very invaluable helper in Mrs. Rouse, of Calcutta, accounts of whose labours have already been made public. The following is the last account your Committee have received. Mr. Rouse writes :— In last year’s Report I referred to the work which was commenced among the men of the 3rd Buffs. When that regiment was ordered to active service in Perak, the 40th Regiment came here for a few months, and, as in previous yeaTS, my work has been somewhat varied. The other cheering department of work has been among the soldiers of H. M. 12th Regiment, now stationed in Port William. We removed to Dum Dum in ‘February, as soon as the 12th Regiment was ready to come here. We asked the Christian men of the 40th to find out, before they left, any like-minded men in the 12th, and t® bring them over to us. Three or four thus came overdone of whom was a Baptist; but we found that, although the colonel of the regiment is an earnest Christian man, who has much at heart hi» men’s welfare* yet the Christian 1G EIGHTY-FIFTH REPORT. [1877-

brotherhood in the regiment was very small. As soon as we had become pretty well acquainted with these few brethren, we asked them to invite their comrades to a tea-meeting in our house. About sixty men came, and our room was quite filled. After tea several of Sankey’s hymns were sung, a few pointed addresses on personal religion were given, and the men were invited to come to the Sunday services. The following Sunday evening more than twenty came to the service, and from that day we had them attending regularly, morning and evening—the morning attendance averaging about ten, and the evening about twenty 01 thirty. We followed up the first tea meeting by a few others of a similar character, held in our house or elsewhere. Schools.— The value of educational instruction, as auxiliary to the spread o f the Gospel, does not now need to be discussed. Many thousands of children in our various mission-fields are under the teaching of our missionaries and their helpers. Secular learning of an elementary character is imparted to these children ; but, in addition^ in all these schools the truths of Christianity are regularly taught. Thus, in France, some 200 children are under instruction. Here, in the case of every child, a written permission to teach is obtained by the missionary from the parent, this being an incidental proof of the sympathy which exists in favour of our Protestant teaching. A large proportion of the present members of the Church in Brittany is composed of persons who received their first convictions of saving truth at school. The same may be said respecting the mission in Norway, where schools are regularly maintained in Bergen and Trondjhem. In Delhi, and the surrounding districts, the schools have been maintained, and they have improved in attention and in general efficiency. The standard is being lifted up to that of the Government system of education. In all the schools religious instruction is imparted, and in some the New Testament is the only reading-book in use. More than 600 boys are daily taught the Scriptures. In the Barisal district schools are established at thirteen stations, six of these schools being wholly supported by Government Grants. This is sufficient test of their efficiency. The missionaries, though thankful, will not be satisfied till there is a good school in every station. At Mongbyr, a day school for Christian boys, and a theological clasp, have been established ; and in Ceylon, where sehool-work is the 1877.] EIGHTY-FIFTH REPORT. 17 principal means of Evangelisation, there are in the Colombo district alone no fewer than forty-three schools, with upwards of two thousand scholars. It is worth noticing that Government Grants are largely available for the support of these schools. Thus, in Ceylon, a sum of about ¿6420 was received last year from that source. Zenana Work.— No account of mission work can be complete without some reference to this. It is not our duty to enter into details, as these will be furnished by the excellent society, connected with us, and which deservedly secures the sympathy of us all. We would here simply point out that the new enterprise is almost doubling the field of our operations in India : that it is gradually securing on behalf of Christianity the influence of the women of India— potent there, as it is everywhere else— and that it is instru­ mental in leavening with Christian truth the children, the future population of that vast empire. Your Committee devoutly say, 41 God speed” to the Zenana Mission. The Cyclone in the Backergunge District.— Famine, pestilence, and inundations have often proved to be opportunities for Christian work, of which our missionaries have always been ready to avail themselves. Whoever else may forget the cyclone of October 31st o f last year, we cannot. Our brethren Martin and Kerry were on their way to the doomed district from the Missionary Conference in Cal­ cutta, so near to the time of the great catastrophe that, had they started some forty-eight hours sooner, they might have been involved in its perils. We devoutly recognise the Divine hand that kept them safe. We are glad to believe that the loss of life was not so great as was at first stated, nevertheless it was appalling. Our own stations suffered but little, and the life of none of our native Christians was lost. Mr. Kerry was appointed by the Lisutenant- Governor as agent for the administration of relief, and in that capacity he had the opportunity of preaching the truth and administering the consolations of the Gospel to many thousands whom he might not otherwise have reached.

THE MISSIONARY STAFF. The movements of our brethren during the past year have been of -an unusually chequered character. The Committee have been grati- 2 18 EIGHTY-FIFTH REPORT. [1877.- fied by the fact that several missionaries have been nent out ,to various fields of labour, but this gratification has been crossed by the disappointment arising from the return of some who had but recently gone out, the retirement of others who had been specially honoured in their work, and the death of two brethren and one sister in the midst of their hopeful toils. These contingencies, of course, are likely to arise during any year of the history of the Mission, but there are periods during which they seem to accumulate, and last year was one of them. The following brethren have gone out into the field during the year:— Mr. Alfred G. Jones, from Manchester, has gone out to the help of our brother Richard, of Chefoo, China, so long single- handed and alone in his arduous work • Mr. Edward S. Summers, B.A., of Cambridge University, has gone to India, where he is now pursuing his studies as a missionary probationer; Mr. H. Comber, after completing a two years’ course of study in medicine and surgery, has joined the missionaries on the West Coast of Africa ; and Mr. Sjodahl, a young Swede, who has studied for a time at Regent’s Park College, has been added to the staff in Norway. In addition to these, the Rev. John Landels, of Kirkcaldy, has been accepted for Mission work in Italy, where his brother is already engaged; Mr. John Ewen, formerly an agent of the Free Church of Scotland Mission in Sonthalistan, is pursuing his supplementary studies at Bristol College with a view to his going out to India again; and the Rev. Thomas Lewis Johnson, an American freedman, and formerly pastor of a church of freedmen in Chicago, is pursuing his studies at the Metropolitan College with a view to missionary work, probably in Africa. To our list of fully accredited missionaries must be added the name of the Rev. D. Jones, of Monghyr, who has most successfully passed his two examinations in the ver­ nacular. Since last October, and after the Autumnal Meetings at Birming­ ham, the Rev. Q. W. Thomson and Mrs. Thomson have returned to the West Coast of Africa; the veteran missionary, Thomas Morgan, and Mrs. Morgan to Howrah; and the Rev. John Williams to his old field of labour in Muttra, accompanied by Mrs. Williams, whom he had married during his visiit to tthis country. It is gratifying to 1877.] EIGHTY-FIFTH REPORT. 19

be able to report that these brethren derived much advantage to their health during their sojourn in England, and that they went to their work in recruited physical vigour, as well as with increased hopefulness. The Rev. F. Pinnock, also, who, after some eighteen years of quiet, plodding labour in our West African Mission, was anxious to visit Jamaica (his native land), and also to come to this country, has accomplished both objects, and he 8 once more at his post of duty. During his short stay in this country he had the opportunity of visiting several of our churches, and his simple and unobtrusive accounts o f his work have done much to strengthen the sympathies of the friends of the Mission towards the small but interesting field which Mr. Saker and his colleagues have occupied so long. Turning now to the losses of the year, the Committee regret they have to report the following :— The Rev. C. C. Brown has returned to this country, having resigned the pastoral charge of the church at Lai Bazar, Calcutta, after having previously relinquished his relation to the Society; Mr. Miller, on account of broken health, has been obliged to leave Benares, and he is now in this country ; Mr. Henry Tucker has left India from the same cause, and Mr. Francis has terminated his connection with the Society. Each of these cases, on its own grounds, has been such as to create much anxiety in the minds of the Committee. They have yielded to the inevitable, but with much pain. Not only have their own fondly-cherished hopes been frustrated, but they also deeply enter into the disappointments of the brethren themselves and their immediate relations, as well as of the friends of the Saviour, to whom every check in their holy enterprise seems a postponement of the object they have at heart— the speedy evangelisation of the whole human race. Not less to be regretted is the final return to this country of the Rev. J. C. Page, of Darjeeling, after more than thirty years of self- denying and successful labour in India, his native land. A serious attack of illness some few years ago has so undermined his health as to oblige him to relinquish his work, and he is now in England, where, the Committee hope, his earnest advocacy of the claims of the missionary enterprise may yet put it in his power to help on the cause which has for so long lain upon his heart and absorbed his 2* 20 EIGHTY-FIFTH REPORT. [1877. / great energies. The Rev. W. A. Hobbs, too, has been forced to yield, partly to his own weakness of health, and partly to that of his beloved wife. In him the Society loses the services of a most suc­ cessful and indefatigable itinerant missionary. The Rev. Alfred Saker, also, has finally left Africa. He has come home, worn with some thirty-six years of labour in a deadly climate, and after a course of toil which, should the history of it ever be told, will prove to be not less heroic than that of our most devoted workers in any field. Death, also, has been permitted to invade our ranks— the Rev. J ohn Edgell Gummer, of Hayti, has been called away to his rest, at the early age of thirty-one. He was a native of Bristol, the birth­ place of not a few of our missionaries, and was educated for the ministry at Bristol College. He was obliged, through the partial failure of his sight, to leave college and go abroad. For two years and a half he laboured happily and successfully in Demerara, where he married. At this post his Baptist views became a hindrance to him, and he went to Jamaica, where, for rather more than three years, he acted as pastor of several of the hill churches of the island. On the retirement of Mr. Hawkes from Hayti, the Jamaica Mis­ sionary Society pointed out Mr. Gummer to your Committee as a fit man to fill the vacant post. He went, accordingly, early in 1875 His earnest and successful work was soon checked by the insurrection which broke out in the island soon after he reached it. For a time he was separated from his wife, whom he had sent to Jamaica for safety. During their separation he lost one of his children, and when, the insurrection being at an end, Mrs. Gummer rejoined her husband it was to do little more than minister to him in his days of sickness and at the hoar of his death. Mr. Gummer died on the 28th of August, 1876. Sad and startling as was the news of Mr. Gummer’s decease, the news of the death of the Rev. Robert Smith, of the Cameroons Mission, was even more so. He had so recently been amongst us in health and vigour that it was very hard to realise that his work was done. Through exposure to weather in the pursuit of his duties, he caught a fever which terminated his earthly life on the 30th of last Au gust. He left behind him a wife to whom he had been married 1877.] EIGHTY-FIFTH REPORT. 21

only about two months, and whose skilful as well as loving ministra­ tions to him during his illness will be a happy recollection in the minds of our dear brother’s friends for many years to come. In Mr« Smith the West African Mission has lost a devoted missionary, and at a time, too, when he seemed to have reached the highest point of his efficiency. The missionary staff in West Africa has been still farther weakened by the death of Mrs. Grenfell early in this year. She was sister, to Mr. Hawkes, late of Hayti, and she had gone out with her husband in perfect sympathy with his aims and projects. Though her residence in Africa was so brief, she had endeared herself in a remarkable manner to the whole missionary family there. Not to her afflicted husband only, but to the mission also, her death is a heavy loss. Several missionary brethren are still at home, most of them, how­ ever, expecting to return to their posts in the autumn of the year. These brethren are the Rev. James Smith, of D elhi; the Rev. Isaac Allen, M.A., of D acca; the Rev. John Trafford, M.A., of Serampore, whose stay in England has been unavoidably prolonged through the pressure of parental affliction and suspense; the Rev. H. R. Pigott, of Colombo, Ceylon; and the Rev. C. Carter, of Kandy. All these will most probably have returned before the winter. Mr. and Mrs. Etherington, of Benares, also, are on their way home, and Mrs. Bate has come to England for a time in the hope of recruiting her health. In the Jamaica churches the following movements require to be noticed. Our venerable friend Mr. Dendy has intimated his inten­ tion to resign the pastorate of the church at Salter’s Hill, and the Committee are seeking a suitable minister to succeed him. The churches at Bethany and Brown’s Town, under the care of their faith­ ful pastor, the Rev. John Clarke, have passed through a period of trial owing to the intrusion and hostile action of some who were not sent out by us, and the Rev. Geo. H. Henderson has been appointed co-pastor with our aged friend; and Mr. Hewitt, of Mount Carey, has been forced, through severe iliness, to visit England for a time. It must be plain to all the friends of our work that the circum­ stances thus narrated present an urgent plea for sympathy and 22 EIGHTY-FIFTH REPORT. [1877. prayer. The Lord’s blessing and comfort and guidance be with eaoh of our brethren, according to their need !

FINANCES. The financial position of the Society at the commencement of the year was such as to cause the Committee the gravest anxiety. Not only was there the large balance due to the Treasurer from the year before of £4,579 8s- 10d., but a most careful re-examination of the year’s estimated receipts and expenditure by the Finance Committee indicated a probable further debt of nearly £4,000, mainly due to the recent large and rapid extension of the Mission, en­ tailing a permanent expenditure considerably in excess of the regular • contributions, It was under these circumstances at the first meeting of the Com­ mittee, early in May, that a letter was received from the respected Treasurer o f the Society containing the following suggestions :— That with the sacred impressions of the recent delightful missionary services fresh in mind, and having in grateful remembrance the kind sympathy so generously expressed in the state and prospects of the Mission, an earnest and affectionate request be made to the pastors of our various churches to devote a Sunday in May to bringing promi­ nently before their congregations the pressing needs of the Society, with the special object of obtaining an increase in the amount of their subscriptions from those who already contribute to its funds, and a regular annual support from others who have not hitherto done so, not, of course, excluding an earnest appeal for donations from friends who are in a position to render aid in that form also.

Mr. Tritton further suggested :— That our Pastors be requested to arrange for Special Missionary Prayer Meetings to be held in furtherance of the effort on behalf of the Society, so that with the willing gifb the voice of supplication may ascend from the length and breadth of the laaid “ unto Him who is able to do exceed­ ing abundantly above all that we ask or think.”

In accordance with these suggestions a special appeal was at once issued by the Committee to Pastors of Churches throughout the country, together with a copy of the Treasurer’s letter, and the Committee are now in a position to report some of the results arising out of this action.

The effort was commenced with special prate® , and called forth 1877.] EIGHTY-FIFTH REPORT. 23

•special supplication in all parts of the country; and the Committee feel that in the review of the year they have abundant cause for pr aise — they thank God, and take courage. Notwithstanding the severe and long-continued commercial depres­ sion of the trade of the country, specially in the Principality of Wales, and in the Iron and Coal Districts of the North of England and of Scot­ land, and the urgent and widespread appeal that has been made to raise a large capital sum for the Denominational Ministerial Annuity Fund — happily so generously responded to—the accounts which the Com­ mittee are now able to present, exhibit an increase in the amount received from the Churches for the general purposes of the Society of £4,041 Os, 2d-, as compared with the receipts of the year pre­ vious. It is also an encouraging fact that this increase is largely ‘due to new and augmented personal subscriptions, and consequently ■may be regarded, in great measure, as of a permanent character. Instead of any addition to the debt of last year, the receipts for the period under review have not only been sufficient to meet the year’s expenditure, but they have reduced the balance due to the Treasurer by £ 7 4 1 15s. Id viz., from £4,579 8s. 10d., to £ 3 ,8 3 7 13s. 9d. Excluding Donations for the Debt and contributions for Special Funds the receipts of the year amount to £38,359 6s. lOd. and the ■expenditure to £38,330 18s. lOd. as compared with £33,888 9s. 3d- receipts, and £39,433 Us. 3d. expenditure for the previous year, showing an increase in the General Receipts of £4,470 17s, 7d. and a ■decrease in expenditure of £1,102 7s- 5d. To this increase in General Receipts should be added the £ 5 9 1 9s, Id. specially contributed towards the liquidation of last year’s Debt, and £ 9 4 10s- 2d- increase in contributions for the Widows’

and Orphans’ Fund, making a total in crease in R eceipts fo r the

y e a r of £5,15716s, lOd. Satisfactory, however, as this increase is, it should be remembered that it falls far short o f the present needs of the Mission, leaving out •of view any further extension of the work. The advances from the Calcutta Printing Press, in consequence of the altered conditions with regard to all such business in India, are becoming less and less, and these annual reductions must be made ;up by a corresponding increase in the general Contributions. 2i EIGHTY-FIFTH REPORT. [1877..

Nor should it be forgotten that every year the income of the Society is lessened to the extent of many hundreds of pounds by deaths and removals, and that from these causes exceptionally heavy losses have fallen upon the Mission during the year just closed, some of the most liberal and devoted supporters of the Society having entered into their rest. A further permanent increase in the contributions to the Mission' of at least £5,000 is urgently called for, and the Committee earnestly hope that during the coming year, through the deepening interest and liberality of the churches, this sum may be obtained.

The year now opening before us, politically, commences in gloom, and may end in blood. A great crisis is impending in Europe, the magnitude and the issues of which, God only knows. The Christian heart grieves over the sins and the sorrows under which our poor humanity groans ■ but Christian faith may be calm and fearless. We wage a warfare to whose assured victories the Lord God omni­ potent, who reigneth, makes all national catastrophes and changes subservient. There is in them a Divine “ needs be ” even in wars and rumours of wars, to which it ought not to be hard for us to submit, knowing as we do, and perceiving, too, more clearly, year by year, the “ far-off result ” towards which they tend. The kingdoms of this world must become—are becoming—the kingdom of our God and of His Christ. To the believer, the whole history of the world, until the Saviour’s advent, was an announcement of His coming. The burden of the Gospel is, “ Christ is come ! ” and the whole history of the world since the Ascension is, “ Christ is coming again: ” a continuous coming; so that He is more completely, to-day, in the world He died to redeem, than ever before. Still, the cry of the Church is, “ Come, Lord Jesus ! come quickly ! ” To this cry may the zeal and consecration of the churches increasingly correspond. 25

N o t e . In consequence o f the p a e w c u l a b s of Contributions from many of the Auxi­ liaries not reaching the Mission House until after the close and audit of this Balance Sheet, it will be found that the totals of some of the Special Funds do not exactly agree -with the details of the printed lists. Treasurers, Secretaries of Auxiliaries, and all Friends remitting moneys are therefore very earnestly requested to supply f u l l p a m i c v l a b s at the time o f remittance, so that corrective entries may be dispensed with, and the Missionaries may be at once advised of all s} ecial contributions sent for their use.
