FOREWORD Last year we called attention to the m a n y appeals for prayer in the reports of our Missionaries. This year w e ask the reader to note the frequency of requests for more workers and more m o n e y either for enlargement of our wo r k or for maintaining it at standard. These requests are in themselves a very definite ap­ peal for prayer; let us ask that they m a y receive.— ^-Ed . CHINA

A M O Y ' A m o y Girls’ School— (Miss Lily Duryee in charge.) By the patient and persistent efforts of our'faithful teachers the Am o y Girls’ School has been developed. Last year the record of attendance reached 475. In October the Middle School added a Fourth Year class; growth should not be hindered by lack of space or equipment. The need for more room was only partially met by using the upper * *On furlough. tRetired in America. {London, England. floor of the Van Houghten Memorial during term time. N e w build­ ings for dormitory and classrooms are urgently needed, but an im­ perative necessity is more money for current expenses. Miss Duryee writes: Changing conditions in China affect the- whole atmosphere, especially school atmosphere. From having al­ most no schools at all for girls, non-Christian Chinese are now build­ ing schools or inviting young women to come to their own homes as teachers. Practically the only teachers available are the graduates or pupils in our Mission schools and as salaries are given two or three- times as large as are given in Mission schools one can readily under­ stand the temptation to accept the invitation to teach in these non- Christian schools. Perhaps the reader’s thought is that if Christian teachers go to these schools the Gospel will be more widely pro­ claimed but, alas, the non-Christian surroundings too often cool a. heart none too earnet, or timidity seals the lips., W e are facing a situ­ ation that calls for most earnest prayer. Several things seem clear how­ ever: First and foremost we must not lower thei Christian standard of our Mission schools, but through study of the Bible and other- means more than ever exalt the claims of Jesus Christ on the indi­ vidual. W e will also have to give larger.salaries to our young women teachers, and we will have to make some sort of written contract with pupils who are being helped in their education that they wiir either give service in teaching or return the money expended for them. Many are doing this without a written contract. One young woman has taught for more than five years on* a very small salary, and an­ other one has just refused an offer of twenty dollars a month, with- provision made for her widowed mother to live with her, and con­ tinues with us at a salary of nine dollars a month. The spirit of new China is making itself felt here as well as in other- parts of China. O n Chinese Independence Day in October there was a parade of schools, teachers and pupils alike walking in procession with much waving of Chinese flags and shouting of “Long live the Chinese Republic.” This new spirit does not always manifest itself so harmlessly and calls for very much earnest prayer that our school girls may be able to meet the new thought and the new temptations and develop into earnest Christian women able to lead-others along- the same path. A number of girls have united with the church this year and there are a number of others who desire membership. • Friends at home, will you not pray for us here that all— pupils and teachers— Chinese and foreigners alike— may have hearts on fire* to proclaim the Gospel message and that this coming year may see a great revival? Charlotte Duryee Bible School— (Miss K. M. Talmage in charge.)- The work year by year is much the same. The pupils change; old. ones go, new ones come. Each year we see changed lives, heathen women become Christians, sad faces brighten, ignorance changes to- intelligence. W e indeed have great cause for praise and gratitude to- God. | . The past year, the enrollment was 75 names, 55 the spring termi and 43 the autumn term. This autumn we were pleased to receive three women from a large village on A m o y Island where there are no Christians. One is a widow who lost her husband and son in the spring. She felt that the idols had done nothing for her, so wished to come and study. She brought her two daughters of nine and sixteen with her. The other two women were younger, their husbands both abroad. All these have made good progress; even the little girl of nine, Bright Flower, can now read quite fluently. Her older sister, Jewel, is exceptionally bright and has also learned to write. Best of all, they have all con­ fessed that they will follow the Lord Jesus. W e rather fear for them when they return to their heathen village, where they must meet with temptation to go back to idol worship and also meet with ridicule. There is a preaching hall not far from their village and they have promised to attend the service there on Sundays. The Bible woman there is much interested in them. • A m o n g the new pupils was a woman of fifty-six. Her family are all opposed to Christianity. Asked why she wished to worship God, she gave the following account of herself. W h e n a child she was sold as a little “daughter-in-law.” Some years later her mother be­ came a Christian. The girl frequently went home to visit her mother, and there she heard of God. Her mother tried to teach her, but she cared little to learn. After a few years her mother died a very happy death, which made a great impression on her. From the time she entered the school she was greatly interested in the Bible lessons, especially Bible stories. One day listening to the story of the Prodi­ gal Son she said to a late comer, “Oh, how much you have missed by coming so late!” She much appreciated being taught and would say, “Wh e n you explain the meaning it makes it so plain.” At our weekly prayer-meeting she sometimes led in prayer, praying for forgiveness of sin* and for her family. She speaks from a full heart. D o pray that she may have the joy of seeing her family brought to Christ. There are many changed lives that we see in our midst but we cannot write of them all. ’ This last term has been a very happy one. There has been very little friction. Nearly the whole school have signed cards saying they will give themselves to Jesus Christ. . The Children’s H o m e — (Miss M. E. Talmage in charge). The H o m e has numbered twenty-two inmates, two being the matron’s little daughters. Just one child was added to the H o m e during the year, and some children not connected with the H o m e have been as­ sisted by it. The child added to the H o m e is named Plum Blossom. She was a slave girl belonging to a woman who sometimes well treated, sometimes very cruelly treated her. Once this woman hung her up to the ceiling by a rope tied to her hands. The rope was twisted up and then allowed to untwine, making the child whirl around in the air as she hung up by her hands. The woman is a great gam­ bler and when she lost would vent her anger on the child,, cruelly treating her in various ways. A son in the family, who has become a Christian, was much distressed over his mother’s bad treatment of the slave girl and secretly redeemed her, telling his mother some one wished to buy the child. His mother, thinking some one wished her for a slave, sold the child. The son himself paid out the money and secretly brought her to the Home, changing her name to Plum Blos­ som so that she would be less likely to be recognized. The child is twelve years old by the Chinese age. Some miles from Am o y lives a family of little children. The parents are church members but the father, a good meaning man, is “deficient" and has not been able to support his growing family, so that at times they have been in real need of food. W e have great sympathy for the mother, who like the “old woman who lived in a shoe” has so many children she does not know what to do. This year the Ho m e came to the rescue and each month is sending money enough to feed at least three of them. For some months also the H o m e has taken the temporary care of two little sisters (the older one only three years old) whose mother has been very ill with tuberculosis, now better, but still in bed. She was formerly one of the children of the Home, was educated in our Girls’ Boarding School, taught some years in different Mission schools, then was married to a grandson of old Pastor lap, a gradu­ ate at Talmage College. After this they both taught school until he became ill with tuberculosis. She took excellent, faithful care of him. Finally, she broke down under the long strain and just at his death she herself had a bad hemorrhage of the lungs and has been ill ever since. She is an earnest, bright Christian, says her heart is not worried or troubled about anything, but is trusting all to the Lord. Leaf, wh o m we wrote about as being married a year ago last Sep­ tember, wrote a letter not long ago saying, “God has given me a little son.” Water Pearl, w h o m we reported last year as becoming engaged to a young farmer on A m o y Island, left the H o m e this morning at six o’clock with the “Middle W o m a n ” to go by boat to our Kang- thau chapel rooms, where she is to be arrayed in her bridal garments, and to go from there in the red bridal chair to Kio-thau, where she is to be married. . T w o of our girls, Precious Pearl and Precious Ointment, last summer were baptized and united with our Second church in Am o y on confession of faith. „ W e have had extensive repairs made on the H o m e building. Nearly the whole roof was renewed because of dry rot in the beams and other wood work. Our plan was to paint also, as the building much needs it. W e have bought the paint from Shanghai and are waiting for a reliable painter to put it on next year. W e heartily thank all who have helped us and prayed for us during the days of this year. Most of all we thank our Heavenly Father for all His care and loving kindness towards us.

CHIANG-CHIU ' Girls’ Day and Boarding School— (Miss Margaret Morrison in charge). The year just closed saw a total enrollment of 176 pupils, of w h o m nearly 100 were day pupils, fortunately, for our accommoda­ tions were taxed to the utmost. W e were obliged to use part of the building loaned by the native church for kindergarten purposes as classrooms for the Girls' School, and several teachers also had their bed rooms in this building. W e expected to be able to report the completion of the enlarge­ ment of the Girls’ School which was planned for last autumn, but owing to unavoidable delay in building the kindergarten and also un­ foreseen advance in the price of building materials and labor, the work of enlargement is not yet begun. W e are expecting to commence very soon after the Chinese N e w Year, and trust that all work will be completed by the summer of 1922. T w o of the June graduates of the year have taught in the school this autumn; a third taught in the Sio-khe school but, with the other two, will' be with us for 1922, and the present efficient head-teacher hopes to continue her work, although she is not strong. Her influence in the school, both with pupils and teachers, has been very helpful and her earnest Christian character is an inspiration to many. The regular work of the school has gone on throughout the year; many of the pupils have done excellent work in their studies, includ­ ing needlework, drawing, water-color painting and music, but we re­ joice most in the improved conduct and more earnest Christian spirit • some have shown. Several pupils of the higher classes are from non- Christian homes and have not yet confessed Jesus Christ as their Lord; we long to see these among His followers, and ask the prayers of those who may read this report that these girls, as well as all others who are pupils in our school, may come out as confessed fol­ lowers of Jesus Christ their Savior. A number of the older girls are attending a weekly class held by the pastor, preparatory to baptism and confession of faith; four for­ mer pupils have been received into this church during the year, and for every one of these we thank God, and our Lord Jesus Christ. Chiang-chiu Kindergarten— Miss Morrison writes: The ne,w kin­ dergarten building, for which the money was given by the W o m a n ’s Board of Foreign Missions, and for which we have waited so long, is at last completed and ready for use. The large sunny rooms will be most highly appreciated after the small, gloomy and inconvenient rooms we have been obliged to use for several years. The garden around the kindergarten will be a source of great pleasure to the children. W e would again, on behalf of the Mission as well as of all the children who will enjoy the privileges of the kindergarten in com­ ing years, send most hearty thanks to all who have helped to make its erection possible. The teacher for 1921 has been a former pupil and graduate of the Girls’ School who afterwards took the course in kindergarten training, graduating in December, 1920. She has proved herself a good teacher and will continue her work the coming year. Eight of the children will enter the Girls’ or Boys’ school in 1922, having finished the kindergarten course, and as all but one are from Christian families, we can hope that they will for a number of years come under the influence of our Christian schools. Each morning the children listen to a simple Bible story and sing the kindergarten songs of the love of God and Jesus Christ and close with a short prayer in unison. O n Sunday afternoon a short Sunday school’ service is held, to which they are urged to bring children in their neighborhood who do not attend kindergarten, and to which mother, aunt, or grandmother often accompanies the children. W e ask your prayers that those who shall be teachers may have the spirit of'Jesus Christ and lovingly strive to lead the little ones to Him, and also that all the children who come under the influence of the kindergarten may early come to know and love their Savior. W o m e n ’s Work, Chiang-chiu City— Miss Morrison reports: In the early part of the year a public evening meeting was held for non- Christian women, at which the older pupils and teachers of the Girls’ School assisted by singing and also giving talks on the Gospel truths and on the great value of Christian education for girls and women. This meeting was largely attended. ° This autumn the plan has been tried of holding meetings at the homes of different women, who invite their heathen neighbors to come, and in this way many are reached. Not long ago a well-to-do heathen woman, whose husband is a Government School-teacher, asked to have a meeting held in her home and she, with other women of the house and a number of neighbors, listened quietly and atten­ tively to the story of the Gospel and to the hymns sung and said it was all very good to hear. Although many who hear do not come out to church, yet the seed is sown, and we pray and trust that the harvest may follow, with God’s blessing, and many of these who hear in their homes may become confessed followers of Jesus Christ. One of the Bible women, herself a village woman and now with­ out family cares, spends most of her time in the villages, staying sev­ eral days in the home of some Christian or hearer, reaching many women who never have an opportunity to come to church, but who stop their work to listen to the message brought them by one who has lived as they live and can fully enter into their pleasures, sorrows, and cares, and so can bring to them the Gospel message as another, unable to sympathize with them, could not do.

SIO-KHE Girls’ School— (Miss Van der Linden in charge). The Sio-khe Girls’ School has had a happy, prosperous year and rejoices because of the improvements which were made on the compound, making the grounds more useful as well as more attractive. After the wall be­ tween the W o m e n ’s and the Girls’ Schools had been removed and the blind drain had been built, the girls took a hand in cleaning and beautifying the place. For three consecutive days they1 worked from 4 until 6 o’clock p. m. divided into squads under the direction of the teachers, and thus accomplished as much work as three men had done in two weeks. Useless trees and bushes were chopped down and cut up for fuel, broken files and stones were carried away, low places were filled up and the grounds leveled, rose-bushes and shrubs were pruned, flower beds prepared and stone seats set up in shady spots. It was a delight to hear the girls’ happy voices as they worked, and the results of their efforts were most gratifying. The space between the two school buildings has been measured and plans have been made for the erection of the Drill Court, which is to be a roof on pillars. This we hope will be completed before the spring rains. Last spring it was necessary to use one of our own girls to help teach, but in September two higher primary graduates were secured as assistant teachers. One of these is a Chiang-chiu girl from Miss Morrison’s school and the other a Sio-khe girl who took her last three years in our A m o y school. This increase in the teaching staff made it possible for us to give time to teaching in the Wo m e n ’s School and also to other district work. O n Saturday mornings just before the teachers’ prayer-meeting, short talks were given on methods in teaching. This was meant especially for the new assistants, but also proved helpful to the others who had had some experience. They have worked together faithfully and we are thankful for their con­ secrated service. This year we again “went over the top” in numbers enrolled and in the ampunt of fees taken in. Six girls completed the first year of higher primary work and all are continuing their studies in other' schools. This is also a step in advance, for the people in the Sio-khe region have been very slow in recognizing the need of education for girls and are only just beginning to appreciate it. Those who are interested often urge us to add a year or more to our course, but since that would require additional teachers and more money, the policy is to keep on a while longer with only one year of higher primary work. In reviewing the experiences of the year our hearts are filled to overflowing for all the blessings enjoyed. W e are thankful for the good record most of the girls have made, and for those who have ex­ pressed their purpose to be Christians. W e are thankful for an­ swered prayer for the sick when one of the older girls, dangerously ill with typhoid fever, was called back from death’s door and when some twenty others passed safely through an unusually severe epidemic of measles, and for the services of Dr. Bosch and his assistants. W e are thankful for the Guild Box which arrived in September, and for all the gifts of money which support the school, and especially for the prayers that are supporting the work. Report of the Sio-khe W o m e n ’s School by Miss Van der Linden. The spring term of the Sio-khe W o m e n ’s School began two weeks earlier than other schools, so that women who had leisure during the first part of the Chinese Ne w Year might come for instruction. Several took advantage of this opportunity and some continued to study through most of the term, which ended the last of May, when Miss Zwemer started home on furlough. That was a sad day for the women when they said good-bye to their beloved teacher, and the school missed her sorely. Thirty-four names were on the roll that semester. T w o women who had been giving part time to work have been taken on by the Mission as Bible Women. One is working in the Chiang-chiu district and the other continues here. Last spring we had the joy of seeing five women received into the church. During the autumn term 22 women were in school; altogether 41 different women received regular progressive Bible teaching this year. It is impossible to estimate the influence these women will exert as they return to their homes with their faith firmly grounded and their hearts aglow with the constraining love of Christ. Some of them go back to most depressing heathen surroundings, and only God’s abounding grace will be sufficient to carry them safely through the trials and temptation they will meet. Iris has been back this year and we feel she is ready for baptism, but because of her sincerity and earnest desire to be worthy of the name of Christ she shrinks from' taking the step, and because of her family conditions we have not urged it too strongly. Her husband, the leader of a theater company, is opposed to Christianity and she is the only Christian in a large group of villages. In her anxiety for her heathen relatives and neighbors her heart has been greatly de­ pressed and during the night watches, when she cannot sleep for thinking of their souls’ needs, she prays constantly that God will open the way for them to hear the Gospel. A woman of forty-eight came last spring for the first time and, in spite of the fact that she speaks the Hak-ka dialect, has made unusual progress. Although she quickly learned to understand the Am o y dialect, she is sometimes at a loss to properly express her joy and gratitude for God’s goodness in saving her. She said, “I cannot tell you plainly how glad I am that I came to school, but it is in my heart.” Then her eyes filled with tears as she said “You don’t know, but m y sins were very heavy. I wor­ shipped idols very zealously. I had not heard about Jesus then. N o w I know they are false, but God is real and He saves from sin.” Seven of those who entered this fall and had to begin with the primer are now able to read the hymn-book and the N e w Testament. They studied hard for they were eager to learn about the “Jesus Doc­ trine.” One of these is a young woman who lost her father-in-law and her husband within a month’s time. A few weeks later her baby boy was born but he, too, was taken away during the summer. Not only was her heart very sad, but she and her mother-in-law and an eight-year-old brother were desperaately poor, lacking both food and clothing. In September she came to school. Yesterday when she was going home she said “Ko-niu, I have not words enough to give thanks for all the blessings I received. I came feeling so wretched and hope­ less, and now my heart is happy and peaceful because I know Jesus is m y Savior.” Her homely pockmarked face fairly shone with the in­ ner Light. Another woman was a sorceress a year ago. Last winter she first heard the Gospel, when Pastor Mark hired her to help his wife with the housework. She showed such deep interest that they asked us to take her as a pupil in the school that she might learn to read and study the Bible. Not knowing that she has given up her old ways, many women still come long distances desiring to consult her, for she had a wide reputation among superstitious heathen women. It fairly thrills one to think of the power she may be in turning her sisters to the Light, as she will from now on tell them the story of Jesus’ love instead of Satan’s lies and superstitious tales! Report of Sio-khe Evangelistic W o r k — Miss Van der Linden writes: All the churches and chapels have been visited, some of them several times. Practically all the homes of all the Christians, hearers, and school pupils have been canvassed even in the farther stations. It is rather difficult to keep in touch with the women in the more distant places and some are making little or no progress in their knowledge of the Truth. For them, the visit of the lady missionary is perhaps the greatest event in the year, and it is greatly regretted that these visits must be so “few and far between.” Owing to the pres­ sure of school and other work in Sio-khe it is hard to break away for trips that take a week at the least. The work of the Bible women has been chiefly in connection with the Sio-khe church and the Hospital. This is due to the fact that they still require supervision and also because at most of the chapels there was no suitable place for them' to stay. Every day they go out teach­ ing in the near-by villages. Several women who cannot come to school are learning to read in their homes and are visited regularly. The weekly meetings at Khe-chiu have kept up and the women are making good progress. One who has been hindered by her husband from coming to church contrived somehow to keep her hymn-book and is able to read almost all the hymns and she gets great help and comfort from them. A few weeks ago she told us that her faith in her idols is completely shattered, and she is now trusting in the living God. The Children's Meetings had to be discontinued this winter, not because of lack of interest; but because a depleted working staff made it impossible to keep up all the activities. Here in the general work Miss Zwemler has been missed as well as in the W o m e n ’s School. With the efficient help of Mrs. Gio, the new Bible Woman, ten days of November were spent at Poa-a, holding reading classes, when more than thirty women were taught. Some who were able to read studied “Lessons on the Life of Christ” along with the Gospels. Oth­ ers, who had not learned before, read the primer, the hymn-book or the catechism. A bit of wKblesome rivalry between two classes in different villages helped to keep up the interest and enthusiasm. Heathen neighbors crowded around to hear the Gospel-talk before the classes began, and thus a good many heard the Gospel message. Every evening a Bible class was held in the church with church m e m ­ bers able to use their Bibles. Mrs. Gio also assisted with work at Lam-sin and-Siang-khe, and in December she accompanied Miss Nor­ ling on a trip through the Law-khe region. They visited homes and held meetings at the E-che, Hong-thau-poa and Tham-phoa chapels. W e do not at present see great results from the efforts of the year, but the seed has been faithfully scattered and we believe it will yet grow and bring forth fruit, some thirty, some sixty and some a hundred-fold, for His W o r d will not return unto H i m void.

T O N G - A N , Girls* School and Women's School— (Miss Edith Boynton in charge). During the fall term Miss Boynton was alone with the Girls' and W o m e n ’s Schools. Miss Green, in December, returned to pack her belongings for shipment to the North River, to which place she had been appointed in July. The Girls’ School needs the full time of a foreign teacher and not her multi-divided attention. Mrs. Vande­ weg, in spite of her many duties at the hospital, went once a week during the fall term to teach singing. There were two serious cases of illness, and it was a cause for thanksgiving tliaf we had a doctor and the new hospital convenient. Of the Women's School Miss Boyn­ ton writes: During the spring term the school was full, but for only a short time; later, because of personal or family cares, there was an exit of nearly half the pupils. The women are a difficult proposition: They cannot endure rules or restraints; they have fields to be planted or harvested; they have incorrigible sons; they have deaths and marriages of relatives or even sore fingers, and off they go not always to return. Evangelistic Wo r k — (Also in charge of Miss Boynton). Three weekly children’s meetings were held in the spring term but because of lack of workers only one was held during the fall, led by the matron of the W o m e n ’s School. During the Chinese N e w Year Vacation a gathering of Bible w o men and preachers’ wives, twelve in all, was held in the W o m e n ’s School. It was* a happy week for them all. They enjoyed the daily Bible classes and their keen interest was an inspiration to the leaders.

LENG-NA W o r k for W o m e n and Girls of the North River— (Miss K. R. Green in charge). Training for Leaders— Ever since our Reformed Church Mission took over the work in the North River the people have been asking for a single woman missionary. They realize very keenly the ignor­ ance of the church women and the deficiency of their church girls’ schools and have longed for help. So when in the July Mission Meeting Miss Green was appointed to work full time in the North River the people were very much pleased. Since the greatest problem before Ihe missionary in the North River is the dearth of workers, especially workers among the women, the supreme stress must be laid upon the preparation of new work­ ers and the encouragement and further training of those already in harness. With this object in view Miss Green sent letters to each of the twenty-three chapels urging all women who already knew how to read to come to Eng-hok chapel for study in a two months’ Bible Institute. The response was decidedly encouraging for, whereas she had hoped for perhaps twenty women, she soon had an enrollment of fifty women and girls. Fortunately she had been able to secure the services of an efficient and devoted Bible woman from A m o y to help in the summer work, for it would have been out of the question for one person to teach so many in so many different stages of ignor­ ance. _ . , A m o n g those enrolled were three Bible women, five teachers wives and four preachers' wives; so those who should be leaders in the church showed themselves- eager for further teaching. Four of the more educated women have the desire to become Bible women and with this in mind are going to Leng-na in the spring for further study. All of the women and girls studied, and the advance that most of them made was truly gratifying. Besides their studies a group of more understanding woirien also discussed methods of work and the great need of their sisters in darkness and their own respon­ sibility in the matter. A number of talks on cleanliness and child­ training and the care of the body were listened to with earnest at­ tention. In the fall another Bible Institute was held for five weeks in the Chiang-peng chapel, where Miss Green and the A m o y Bible woman had over fifty girls and women enrolled. In Eng-hok the enrollment was largely women but in Chiang-peng fully as many young girls as women attended. In many ways the girls are much easier to teach although as a rule they are not so overwhelmingly grateful for help. The people of Hoa-hong chapel were much disappointed that they could not have a Bible Institute held there during the fall, but they are looking forward to one some time in 1922. Girls’ Schools— There are four girls’ schools in the district, one at each of the central churches, but except for the Leng-na School, where during the past year the devoted services of the wife of Dr. Holleman’s assistant have done much for the modernizing of the school, they are far behind schedule in all except their Chinese charac­ ter. While in Eng-hok during the summer Miss Green spent consid­ erable time tutoring the so-called Higher Primary girls in arithmetic and Bible and working with the teacher for a better schedule for the whole school. The older girls of the Chiang-peng school have taken some of their studies with the boys and so have had the advantage of a much better grade of teachers. But their own teachers are them­ selves so poorly equipped that it is no wonder that the school is not in good shape. • From Eng-hok four and from Chiang-peng three of the highest class are planning to come to Leng-na in the spring of 1922 for special tutoring work in preparation for study in Amoy, where they expect to become teachers. They are especially lacking in Bible knowledge and the Eng-hok girls are far behind in arithmetic, also. The Hoa- hong school has been struggling along with a poor grade of teachers and, because of the soldiers, not many pupils. Because of the inadequacy of the school’s temporary quarters and the lack of teachers, the Leng-na Girls’ School turned away about forty pupils, but that left the school with an enrollment of fifty. It was deemed wiser not to accept more pupils than could be well taught, for the whole city is interested in seeing of what sort the Mission school is and so those in charge have striven to develop a model school as far as possible instead of attempting to teach an unmanage­ ably large school. Plans for the new school building have been worked over and discussed, but unfortunately it is difficult to get land in a really good location for the building. Still there is hope of starting to build the first of the year. And when the school moves into its new building and procures an adequate staff of teachers, the growth in numbers is going to be very rapid, and from this school we hope to send teach­ ers to the various primary schools of the district.

Women's Work The story of the year 1921 in1 the Arcot Mission is one that cannot be told in figures, that is perhaps difficult to tell in words. The grow­ ing, developing nature of the work can only really be told in the lives of Indian women— yes— and in the lives of those American women, working hand in hand with their Indian Christian sisters. Together they are labouring to bring the good news of the blessed Gospel to the hearts of the vast multitudes of women and children in India who have not heard. “India is an orphaned child, lonely— hungry— full of fear— lifting its hands in prayer to the vast sky.” *

*On furlough. The women of the Arcot Mission have borne the heat and burden of many a day— and the close of the year finds both lights and shadows; encouragement because of open doors of opportunity— dis­ couragement because of limitations in workers and in funds. The health of our missionaries has, on the whole, been good. The departure of Mrs. James A. Beattie after giving so many years of service, was a real sorrow to all— missionaries and Indians alike. No new missionary has come to swell the ranks this year, and we have lost the splendid work and beautiful presence of Mrs. Knud Lange, who as Miss Henrietta W. Drury won such a warm place in the hearts of all. Mrs. Lange goes with her husband to the Danish Mission, not far from the Arcot District, and our best wishes go with her for much blessing in her work there. Again this year there have been two Stations without the pres­ ence of a lady missionary. Tindivanam sorely misses Mrs. Walter Scudder, M. D., and her double work as missionary physician. Punga­ nur also had to spare its missionary family for the best interests of all the work— and the bungalow there has again been closed and deso­ late.

VELLORE Evangelistic Wo r k — Miss A. E. Hancock writes of her Zenana Work: Wo r k in the homes has gone on without interruption this year except in Muhammadan homes. In October one more Bible woman was added to our number, so that now eleven women are working in and around Vellore. Through the individual reports of the Bible women of their work,-— of their conversations with the women in the homes,— and their readiness to receive and take advice, help, or reproof of any kind, we feel sure that the words and teachings of Christ are bearing fruit. Many show an intense desire to know more of Him. Some show great faith in our God, and in times of sickness and death ask the Bible woman to pray for, and with, them. One woman who has long professed her faith in Christ died a short time ago, leaving a little girl to wh o m she had given the Christian name of Grace. Her last request was that the child should be given to Miss Hancock. Mrs. Lizzie Peter writes of Village Work: Twice a month we go to villages. In the villages where there are Christians, we teach them the commandments and Lord’s Prayer and help them in many ways. During the week of Evangelism thirty-eight of our Christian women in bands of four and five went to villages. To reach the women there before they went to their work in the fields, the bands went in the early morning by 6 o’clock. It was decided to concen­ trate on the villages where there had been converts, and seven dif­ ferent villages were visited three times in that week. Much prayer is needed for these poor Christians in the villages away from all Chris­ tian help and influences. W o m e n ’s Social Service Society— Miss Hancock, the manager and organizer of this new work, writes of its growth and success: Our second anniversary was held a little late this year, on October 8th. Including Europeans, ;6hristians and Hindu women and children, there were over 180 present. The following report'given at that time by Mrs. L. Peter will give a brief account of the year’s work: “This society is only in its second year and is in a sense, feeble, like an infant. Although our Indian Christian sisters, Miss Hancock and the Doctor ladies have used their valuable time and talents for this Society by giving most profitable lectures on Hygiene, Medical and Social subjects, we have yet to be sure whether this great and much needed work is fully appreciated by our Hindu sisters, as we fear that their rules and customs may stand in the way of the free prog­ ress and growth of the little infant, that it may stand on its own legs and be able to walk.” The work among women in the Vellore Central Jail, is done most faithfully by Mrs. Cornelius, wife of Rev. S. Cornelius. Her visits and her influence bring the touch of Christ and His love to a forlorn and needy class of Indian women. Medical Wo r k — The story of the Mary Taber Schell Hospital is so interwoven with the Vellore Medical School that we must add the reports of that Institution to the following, to really get a full account of the Hospital work. • Miss Houghton, Superintendent of Nurses, writes: The C. E. Society is thriving. Meetings are held every Sunday P. M. This year there were a number of speakers from outside. Once a month a col­ lection is taken at the meeting, which is devoted to various needs— the Leper Asylum, Blind School, School for Deaf and Dumb, and the education of one child. All the patients in the Hospital who are able, come to these meetings, and when' the collection is taken an explana­ tion is given to them as to what is done with the money. Very often the explanation brings forth a response from some one in the audience who either had not given at all or 'who wished to give more. Much interest is shown in the S. S. picture cards which are given to all the Hindus in the audience and which are explained to them by the nurses and the Hospital Bible-woman. Hospital Children’s H o m e — The Children’s H o m e is flourishing, and its numbers increasing. Fourteen children were added to it this year. There are now 34 in all— 21 girls and 13 boys. N o report has been received of the Hindu Girls’ School in Vel­ lore.

CHITTOOR Educational Wo r k — Miss Conklin writes: In Tamil, we say “there and here,” “then and now,” ‘two or one” and “downside up” so why should we not say that we have oiir downs and ups out here as well? Especially as expressing it this way leaves us in the end UP, and not down as the other saying does I W e have had our downs and ups in the past year at Chittoor,— and are still having them', but “it is always darkest just before dawn!” Just now, in Gridley School we have one teacher on four weeks’ sick leave, and our beloved kindergartner is leaving us at Christmas to be married. And in the Boys’ School, one teacher has been ordered to the Sanatorium for three months and the School peon is now in Coonoor taking Pasteur treatment for a dog- bite! Added to this, while the newly installed Hindu teacher was also^ away for his Government drawing examination, leaving Gridley School limping along with three, instead of its quota of six, teachers, the Inspectress herself happened in on a surprise visit! But even under these circumstances, there is no spectre for us in the Inspect­ ress! From one of our schools there went out, a number of years ago, two sisters, who when they were old enough to act independently, wanted to be baptized. Their family so violently objected that these two girls yielded,— shall we say? but a few months ago, they with their family were all baptized. The younger of these girls has come back to ;:his school and is brushing up her knowledge in order to be able to enter a training school in July. , Evangelistic W o r k — W e cannot separate educational and evan­ gelistic work! In many of the one hundred and fifty homes into which we go, there are graduates and non-graduates of our Gridley School. And not only of Gridley, but of Wallajah, Vellore, Palmaner, and even Madras. There is a wistful appeal in seeing these girl- women, a baby in their arms, and one or two toddlers clinging to their skirts, recalling the story and action songs and games of their all-too- recent school-days. W h e n Hindu festivals have made it a bit difficult for our Zenana pupils to find time to study, the Zenana Visitors and I have crowded ourselves, along with the faithful Victrola, into “Maxine” (the M a x ­ well) and gone to more distant villages to carry the “good tidings of great joy.” “Imitation is the sincerest flattery!” W e in Chittoor have started a Church League for Service.” Our C. E. Society seemed not to at­ tract the Christians of other denominations who were in Chittoor, either as students in one of the Government Training Schools, or holding positions under the Government, and this new organization, not restricted here to those of the feminine gender, is open to all com­ municant members of evangelical churches who are eager to serve H i m through the branch of His church which exists in their com­ munity. In this, as in all the activities of Chittoor, is felt the strong, serene, “loveful” and abiding influence of “Our Mother,” Mrs. Conklin, whose years of experience help to untangle many a perplexity, whose sane judgment and joyous faith steadies us through many a trial of impa­ tience and disappointment, and whose mother-heart is a refuge alike to homesick school-girl or worried mother. Hers

“Shall be the love that never dies, With Heaven’s peace within her heart, With God’s own glory in her eyes.”

PALMANER Here we find the Mission Compound, once full and busy with Theological students, occupied only by two lonely women, Miss Julia Scudder and her helper and companion, Miss Brown. Together they carry on Zenana and school work and are an inspiration to the small community of Indian Christians. [ 24 The Story oft the Year

Miss J. C. Scudder writes of the] Health and Welfare Association of Palmaner: W e started this Association in December of 1920 with the object of bringing to the notice of the Town people the sad and filthy conditions under which many of their fellow countrymen live and to awaken the sincere desire to help others to live more sanitary lives. The result of this has been that a well was reconstructed, by the Local Fund Board, into which for many years all sorts of filth had been oozing and in consequence many had been made ill by drink­ ing the water from it. N o w the people have pure drinking water. , Miss Scudder also writes of the Weaving trade, that is being taught in her compound: There are three weaver boys and they also have branched off on a new line by attending the night school as scholars. One weaver boy will soon be able to set up work for himself. H e is now weaving all the cloths that are to be presented to the widows of the congregation at Christmas. General Station News— The Ordination of Mr. C. Jones took place at Palmaner in October and among ;the Indian Pastors who took part in the ceremony nine were mien who had received their Theological training in the Seminary that was in Palmaner for twenty-one years before it was moved to Vellore. Our four Christian Endeavor Soci­ eties, four Sunday Schools, and women’s prayer meeting with thirty- two members are kept up with regularity, and the evangelistic work in the nearby villages is done faithfully. In her report of Zenana visiting Miss Brown says: It happened so that both my Bible women were away at the same time; so I just went out alone. O n m y way I met one and another, and all would ask the one question “Where are you going alone?” I told them' my purpose, and one woman said, “Go to such a house; I will be there in a second.” In a little while she appeared, asked me to be seated in the house, while she ran around and collected the women. W e very soon got a full house. W h e n I was leaving, they wanted to know which of the houses they should next prepare, and in this way I was able to visit the different houses in their regular turn. I feel that this has been an opportunity for me to get nearer the people, and what appeared in the beginning to be a hindrance, has now given cause for gratitude.

PUNGANUR Medical Wo r k — Dr. Louisa Hart writes: The hospital is, as usual, meeting the needs of the village Christian community and accident cases and is a great blessing in that way; the more so because there is a man doctor there instead of a nurse. The community is poor in spiritual life and the Pastor and his catechists need all the help that the medical work can gave it, and yet as it now stands we cannot afford to keep it open.

MADANAPALLE Mary Lott Lyles Hospital— Dr. Louisa H. Hart and Miss J. V. TeWinkel in charge of this fast growing work report great progress made during the year. The Hospital is more and more in favor with the community, and the Hindu papers from time to time give it high praise. Dr. Hart writes: The work in Mary Lott Lyles seems very much the same from year to year and yet in some ways each year is differ­ ent. M y touring has amounted to very little outside of the routine to the Criminal Settlement and Punganur. Five special tours only were accomplished and each time it was'borne in upon m e how important this part of the work is. If I am spared to return from furlough and the two apothecaries work well together it seems to m e I should be able to go more often and seek out the needy people. The Ford has been a great blessing and made possible what has been done as well as m y being able to keep up with the work at headquarters. With better and more intelligent assistance the medical work has, I think, been better done, and as a consequence, there has been more demand by patients for private attendance. Even so the daily average attend­ ance at the Dispensary has been considerably higher this year than previously. U p to the time of writing, the hospital doors have been opened sixty-seven times to school children of w h o m eight were from the Boys’ School, the others from the Girls’ School. In the schools they treat very minor ailments only, but when the children have fever or influenza or injury, the common causes for their coming in, it is easier to treat them in the hospital than in their sick rooms. In this way the hospital, situated midway between the two boarding schools, is of no small importance to the schools. In m y opinion, I think the children would have a greater resisting power to the ailments that attack them could they have milk as a regular part of their diet. This is impossible as the schools at present are financed. In the out­ - patient department scarcely a day goes by but there is a troop of little children from the schools needing some medical care. W e are glad that we can in this way share in this tremendously important part of the Mission work, viz., the Christian Hostels. Our hospital still maintains its character as partly a baby hospital. This year there were at one time four mothers who could not nurse their babies and had lost babies before on this account, who came and remained three months learning how to care for their infants proper­ ly. It was very interesting to hear them comparing notes and after a time asking intelligent questions, making useful observations about properly preparing the babies’ milk and so on. Miss Josephine TeWinkel writes from the nursing standpoint: According to the Indian view-point Mary Lott Lyles is rapidly grow­ ing up, in that she has now completed her tenth year. She has ar­ rived at the gawky awkward stage, in which she has outgrown her •childhood garments and is not quite ready for her young womanhood attire. Gradually she is beginning to feel her expansion and to assert her rights for something better. W e have experienced this occasion­ ally when a new patient has come in and I have had to send the mes­ sage to the doctor. “Every bed is full, where shall we put her?” Of course, a mat on the floor is always possible, but some patients do not .appreciate this sort of accommodation. From1 this you will see that India is growing also. W e need to plan and scheme a long time in advance in India, but when our hopes and plans are realized, and our young lady finally comes out in her new apparel, what a joy and credit to us all she will bel It would not do to finish a hospital report without mentioning the work of good Mother Sewing Guild. This magic lady does help so- very largely in keeping us clean, comfortable and happy that a mere paragraph in a report seems but a poor way of expressing bur real thanksgiving and appreciation of all her services to us, and, we can only trust and pray that God may bless all who have contributed to the work in any way in the year that has gone with a harvest both abundant and satisfying. Educational— Girls’ Boarding School— Miss Coburn in charge of the work writes: One hundred and fourteen girls make up the hostel roll this year— twelve more than last year. This is due in part to the addition of the Seventh Standard. Parents are beginning to desire that their daughters should have a better chance in life than they have had; so there are more applications than we can possibly admit. It even appears that some who are now in schools will have to be sent home because boarding-school appropriations cannot be increased. A medical examination of the girls by Dr. Hart revealed that they on the whole are strong and healthy. Some need milk and other nourishing food to build up their systems; but this, of course, we are not able to give them. If they could only have a little milk and sugar in the morning with their ragi porridge, they would at least then eat it with pleasure instead of because they must. The three red letter days of the school the girls would say are October 13th and November 18th and 19th. O n October 13thuwe gave a pageant (The Victory of Learning) which Misses Wyckoff and Scudder so kindly permitted us to reproduce in Telugu for the Hindu women. The entertainment was set for 4.30 p. m. but': at four the large hall was filled and still they kept coming. The women had a marvelous time talking about their respective babies and other homely interests. One could almost believe she jwas at a country fair. W h e n the girls tried to speak they could not make themselves heard above the babble, babble and the crying of the chil­ dren. W e tried to send the children away, but in vain, so finally stage, entertainers and entertained were moved to the spacious court-yard. The children were sent upstairs where you could see their black heads bobbing up over the parapet to look and listen. The girls were not at all flustered by all the confusion, and we hope that some of the four hundred people who saw and heard will want to be children of “Learning” rather than the children of “Laziness.” The second red letter day, which was more important than the first, was November 18th and 19th, when the 78 girls went to Chittoor to give the pageant. The night before starting no one could sleep, for were they not going to see and ride on a train? W h o could blame them? Three bandies were hired to take the little ones, the food and the clothing the eight miles to the station. The rest walked, some the whole way and some halfway. T w o carriages were ready for them at the station, and at four p. m. the train picked them up and we were off, a singing band of happy youngsters. By the time we reached Chittoor there were many sleepyheads, but Miss Conklin and Mrs. White soon put them all to bed. The next day was full of thrills, especially when the girls had to march to the hall accompanied by a force of policemen. Small disturbances had' made the trouble and this precaution necessary. All was calm and peace in spite of our fears. Saturday at 5 p. m. all were safe again at Madanapalle— tired but happy. Miss Conklin generously paid all' the expenses or we could not have had the wonderful trip and the experience. Following close upon this red letter day was Inspection Day, or rather— days. Every teacher had worked enthusiastically for the improvement of her work with the result that the Inspectress was- pleased with the advance made. For this we are very thankful, but we know that still greater exertion is necessary to accomplish all we de­ sire. There is always the usual difficulty of clothing the girls, but the three boxes— one from Maurice, Iowa; one from Hudsonville, Michi­ gan, and the other from the Sewing Guild, have been a great help. For this we thank each and all. •Thus the days roll by and some time we hope the line upon line,, precept upon precept, will make of the Telugu girls strong Christian women meet for the Master’s use. Zenana Wo r k - I n charge of Miss Sarella TeWinkel, who reports- three Bible women at work in Madanapalle— two in Punganur, three in villages and one in Vayalpad. Also three Hindu Girls’ Schools with a total of two hundred fifty-one girls enrolled. Miss TeWinkel’s report has been published by the Wo m a n ’s Board of Foreign Missions as a leaflet entitled “A Rembrandt Picture.” Tuberculosis Sanitorium— A n account of work for Indian people- in the Madanapalle district could not'omit this wonderful institution. O n a hill five miles out of the town it stands, to heal bodies and souls for all who will come. Dr. Hart writes of it: A daily average attendance of one hundred and twenty for the year has meant ten new temporary shelters. It has meant also a second European Doctor and a bungalow for him.. W e were fortunate in getting the services of a Copenhagen M. D. who has had several years special training in the greatest tuberculosis in­ stitution in Denmark. The nursing superintendent went on furlough and as there has. been no one to take her place Mrs. Frimodt Moller, the wife of the Superintendent, has done much of Miss Tatge's work; the rest of it was done by a friend of the doctor's and Miss Hanson, a superin­ tending Nurse from Denmark. Later on Miss Hanson threw her en­ ergies into the developing of the Silk Industry with Mrs. Frimodt Moller. These two ladies have not only given devoted service but have with their friends entirely financed this new department. W e owe them our sincerest thanks. The medical results are as good as usual. W e ask that this Institution may have the earnest prayers and co-operation of all who know of it. RANIPETTAI Girls* High School— Miss Wyckoff and Miss Ruth Scudder in charge during Miss Van Doren’s absence on furlough. Miss Scudder writes they have one hundred and seventy-five pupils— the lower classes being the largest— and not as many Hindu girls as they could wish. The few they have seem to be imbibing much of the Christian spirit of the school. Miss Scudder writes: The health of the school has been remark­ ably good this year, and we feel this is partly due to improved sanitary conditions and partly to the unfailing vigilance and care of our matron, who co-operates in every way. The hostel teachers have also been very faithful in seeing that the routine runs smoothly. Every Thursday the Christian Endeavor and Y. W . C. A. (for the older girls) hold their weekly meeting, led by the girls, with occa­ sional outside speakers. The girls also go out into the near-by vil­ lages and, gathering the children together, teach them of Christ and sing with them. Saturdays they go to the hospital and sing and tell Bible stories. As soon as Mrs. Honegger gets her Social Center well organized we want the girls to go there and play games with the women and help them, for it is our earnest desire that Ranipet School carry out the motto of Wellesley (Miss Wyckoff’s and m y Alma Mater) “Non ministrari sed ministrare,” “Not to be ministered unto but to minister." Hindu Girls* Schools— Mrs. Honegger writes: The work with over four hundred and fifty Hindu girls has pressed forward and of­ fered abundant opportunity to plant the tender plants of love, truth and obedience as well as many other seeds of Christian graces. *. In many classes we are able to watch the growth day by day, but all too soon the dear little girls are snatched from our care and teaching and confined within the walls of the husband’s home. Because of the Gosha system having been introduced into the Ranipet Social Center and School we have been able to hold a few of the larger and older girls for a longer course. While I have found the Head-mistress-ship of the Ranipet School an additional responsibility still I have come very much nearer the larger girls of the school and I believe it has been of real value to m e as well as to the dear children who long for love and sympathy. Evangelistic— Women's Social Center— This new work was opened this year by Mrs. Honegger, who has moved from the Mission Compound to the building in the town, where she lives and works to bring the love of Christ to the heart of Indian women. Mrs. Honegger writes of her Zenana Work: The year we are now reviewing seems again tO' have been one of quiet sowing rather than one of reaping. There has been the constant visiting of the homes by seven Bible women in nine different centers. From among two hundred and sixty pupils w h o m we visit, we can name a few who are secret desciples; among those who profess to love the Christ are women at the sunset of life, others who have passed through depths of sorrow, and still others in the prime of life • with many family cares. A touching incident occurred several days ago as I was about to leave the house of a little widow of twenty years. This sad but sweet faced little sister looked up into m y face and slipped a rupee into my hand saying. “Since I'have been trying to believe in your God my poor delicate little son has been growing ’stronger. Take this little gift as a thank-offering.” So saying she stepped aside and pointed to a growing chicken and said, “This you may have for your Harvest Fes­ tival and let me continue to give one each year.” The next Sunday at the Church service the rupee was received and prayer was offered for the seeking sister. W e strive to keep very near to those w h o m God has given into our keeping, for they must be very dear to the great Father heart. W e seem to hear Him say “And they shall be mine— when I make up m y jewels.” Lace Class— Miss Maude Scudder has been in charge this year and writes most enthusiastically of the progress of the work: With m y new position came many worries and problems— the biggest one m y lack of knowledge and command of the language, and the second a place to sell the articles that are made by the girls. Forty girls are entirely too many for such a small place, but what is one to do when there are constant demands from pastors, catechists and anxious parents for homes for girls who are not students and yet can learn to use their hands and so support themselves? The girls are dear and sweet and are worth saving. So we take in girls until there is no room left and then harden our hearts to all further pleas and wish and wish that we were multimillionaires!

ARNI Mrs. W . H. Farrar writes: As we look over the work for'the past year with the idea of writing a report, the thought will come— what can be written to show results and be of interest to those at home who support the work? What can we show for the money and labor that have been put into this work? Is it worth the cost? W e feel that the work has not been in vain and that it is not for us to call it a failure simply because there are no figures to show our increase in the number of Christians received this year from these, quarters. W e are sure that as the seed has been sown and we have asked God's blessing on it, some has fallen into good soil and is bearing fruit. In one house where a woman, quite well to do in worldly goods, seemed to take a special interest in the lessons taught, I asked, “Do these lessons mean anything to you?” At once a transfiguration of face took place as she answered, “H o w could I have gone through all the trouble and sorrow that has come to me if it had not been for the help I have received through these lessons? Studying about that Sinless One and the way H e bore sorrow and suffering has been of the greatest help and comfort to me. W h e n trouble seems unbearable and heavy it is thinking of Jesus Swami that gives me help and com­ fort. I just sit down in a corner and think of H i m and m y heart is quieted; a strength comes and I can go on again.” In such a case and others could we say that even though they have not come out openly as Christians the work has been a failure? Hindu Girls’ School— W e began the year with three Hindu Girls’ Schools and end it with two schools only, the Polur Girls’ School having been given over to the Danish Mission. The two Schools, Arnipalayam and Kosapalayam, have been do­ ing fair work. There are rival Schools in both places trying to take our children, but very few have left our schools to attend the others.

TINDIVANAM Although no resident missionary lady is here, Miss Noordyk has been appointed to go from Ranipettai (where she is assisting Dr. Galen Scudder in the General Hospital) to Tindivanam as frequently as she can to oversee the Medical and Zenana work. Miss Noordyk writes: By request of the Mission I made regular visits to Tindivanam. M y aim is to go once a month, but I find that is impossible. During my last visit I went to see a Brahman woman, who had been very ill with pneumonia. They had called on our nurse to assist the Municipal Doctor. The nurse tells m e that one night they gave up all hope of her recovery and the mother of the patient besought our nurse to pray for her daughter. Danabaggiam says, “I prayed all night, and about four o'clock in the morning the patient fell into a deep sleep. Her recovery dated from that hour. The women of this Brahman household believe that Christ made the sick one well again 1”

Women's Work The Japanese Mission has been greatly crippled by an unusnal amount of sickness this year, causing heavy burdens upon the rest of the missionaries, who at great sacrifice have carried on the work with its usual efficiency. Because of nervous trouble, Miss Evelyn Oltmans was obliged .to give up her work at Saga before Christmas, when she went to her home in Tokyo, where she remained till January 28th, when she sailed for America with Mrs. Peeke and her daughter Olive. Miss Noordhoff never fully recovered from the nervous shock of the .burning building put up for the great Sunday School Convention in Tokyo. She endeavored to carry on her work at Baiko Jo Gakuin, but had to give it up, and went to Tokyo to be under medical treat­ ment. She is hoping to be able to supply the depleted force at Ferris Seminary in April, when Miss Jean Oltmans leaves with her family .for her furlough and Miss Demarest is married to Mr. Kuyper. Miss Gertrude Pieters, after passing the first language examination with *

*On furlough. distinction, has generously consented to go to Sturges Seminary tem­ porarily, till more recruits are on hand. W e deplore the interrup­ tion of language study but Miss Teets will also be needed at Ferris • this spring. Miss Moulton was obliged to go to the hospital early in Novem­ ber and submit to another operation> from which she seems to have made a rapid recovery, so that she has once more undertaken her work. The greatest material need of these single missionaries, as well ,as the married ones, is American residences. All of our missionaries have spent much valuable timje in vainly hunting for suitable homes. It is impossible for Americans to live with comfort in Japanese houses, for it is not our habit to sit and eat and sleep on the floor. W e must have chairs and tables and beds and houses suitably warmed. W e ought to have a good American house for each mission station. Our missionaries can and will do great things, but we must give them the necessary equipment and must back them with our prayers.

YOKOHAMA Ferris Seminary— Dr. Booth sends a very full report of Ferris Seminary, from which we give extracts: At Commencement, March 29, 1921, thirty-six students graduated, — twenty-seven from the Regular Course, seven from the Special English, and two from the Finishing Course. The enrollment now is 519, a net gain of 117 over last year. Of these 45 are in the dormi­ tory; and since so few wish dormitory privileges, more of the unused dormitories have been fitted up as class rooms to accommodate the increasing classes. More teachers, too, were needed, and the wives of two business men, Mrs. Boynton and Mrs. Jewett, kindly came to our assistance. A number of changes have taken place in the Japan­ ese staff, including the appointment of Dr. K. Maruyama to fill the vacant place of Mr. Y. Kimura. Ten students have been baptized this year. These are immediately put into active service by including them in the local branch of the Y. W . C. A., which numbers fifty-four active members. This Asso­ ciation practically supports six outside Sunday Schools, and provides Christmas gifts for their pupils. It maintains a weekly prayer meet­ ing in each class and on alternate weeks a general prayer-meeting. A number of improvements have been made in the buildings, but the great material advance was the gymnasium, filling a need we have long felt. This building is 66j4 by 36^4 and has two stories. The gymnasium proper occupies the second floor and has a gallery seat­ ing 100 persons. The first floor contains the shower baths, lockers, a science class room, a domestic science room, and an alumnae room which the alumnae have finely furnished at a cost of 600 yen. The gymnasium is well equipped and only lacks, what we hope soon to supply, an intelligent teacher of physical culture. Though it has been in use only one term, the improvement in the physical condition of the students is marked. Through the kindness of friends a Milton Player-piano has been secured and is designated by an engraved sil­ ver plate as a memorial to Margaret E. Sangster, who for many years Japan ' 33

was the delightful correspondent of the W o m a n ’s Board with Ferris oeminary. T w o of the chief events of the year were in connection with the gymnasium,-the ceremony at the raising in March, and the celebra­ tion of its completion on Founder’s Day in June, when a large n u m ­ ber of the alumnae gathered. The exercises on the latter occasion were very elaborate, and in them Miss Kuyper represented the W o m ­ an s Board. The annual picnic in October was held on the seashore at Hayama with great enjoyment. A n unusual feature was the ne­ cessity of transporting the school in two sections, as the railroad was incapable of conveying so large a crowd at one time. O n Nov. 10th the principal was summoned to the State House, • the only foreigner in a company of sixty or seventy civilians, and per­ sonally introduced by the Governor to the Crown Prince, who was temporarily in Yokohama during the autumn maneuvres. Again, two days later he and his wife were the only foreigners present at an Imperial Banquet given in Tokyo to some five or six thousand guests and attended by the Crown Prince in person. These marked atten­ tions were a high compliment to Ferris Seminary and its Principal and to the work of the institution for the benefit of Japanese society. ' The members of the Japanese staff of Ferris are strongly desirous that steps be taken to expand the school and develop it into a college along strictly American lines. As the Mission has felt that for finan­ cial reasons it could not give its sanction to the enterprise, the staff and representatives of the alumnae have formed themselves into an Association to raise funds and promote this object. Donations se­ cured by the personal labors of Miss Hayashi last summer towards a permanent fund for the school have been turned over to the Associa­ tion, and the hope seems to be that when a sufficient sum has been secured, the project may again be laid before the Mission with better success. While the Principal is delighted with this exhibition of a desire for self-help and by such loyalty to the school, he regrets that it has taken this independent form and recognizes the need of tact and good management to prevent the rise 'of undesired friction. With harmonious co-operation m,uch benefit may be rendered the school by this new Association. As this will be his last official report, Dr. Booth calls attention to the great advance the seminary has made during the forty years of his incumbency. W h e n he came to it in 1881, there was one building and 18 students; the staff consisted of one foreign and one and a half Japanese teachers; and the annual budget was $720 Mexican. During the successive years land and buildings have been greatly increased. There are now 510 students with many on the waiting list; the staff includes six foreign ladies and eighteen Japanese teachers, two clerks,, a matron and janitors, and the budget last year was over 36,000 yen: of which over 31,000 was raised on the field. As he retires he feels, that his dream of years ago has to some extent been realized, and that, he can turn over to his successor an institution creditably equipped to do a magnificent piece of work in years to come in the Christian education of Japanese women. The good will of the Japanese so fre­ quently shown is specially gratifying; the faithful devotion of his associates on the staff is gratefully acknowledged, and the people in America are urged to remember the school in prayers and in gifts that it may be provided with teachers and funds to meet the growing demands and with every facility to achieve the highest aims in its work. H e also would gratefully acknowledge the support and en­ couragement given him during these long yeaars by Synod’s Board and the W o m a n ’s Board and by members of the Japan Mission. “God has been good and wonderfully kind in adding His blessing to the efforts that have been put forth during these years.”

SHIMONOSEKI Sturges Seminary (Baiko Jo Gakuin) has continued to register various marks of progress and growth. After a competitive examina­ tion in April an entering class of fifty-four was received. This gives the school now a total enrollment of 216 in the regular course and 20 in the special. Of the class graduating in March five have entered higher schools. Thus far we show a goodly percentage of students entering higher institutions. Our Japanese staff of six men and ten women besides two part­ time teachers, is still very poorly paid as compared with that of the Government institutions, or even of many under the control of the Missions. Until we are able to pay them the market price we shall always be handicapped and the continuity of a good faculty, so de­ sirable for the undergraduates as well as the graduates, cannot be maintained. O n Founder’s Day, June 5th, the alumnae and students had the joy of surprising Miss Bigelow and Mr. Hirotsu, the Principal, with a gift of 600 yen 'each. It was the thirtieth anniversary of Miss Bige­ low’s connection with the school, and the twentieth of Mr. Hirotsu’s. The Rev. A. Pieters of the Reformed Church and Dr. J. B. Ayers of the Presbyterian Mission, both of wh o m have been associated with these teachers for many years, were invited to address the students. It was a most enjoyable occasion. In addition to the above gifts 1040 yen have been received from alumnae and friends directly for the school. Other gifts received for an Alumnae Building are not in­ cluded. The urgent need of a second dormitory was met by a gift of $11,000 from two American friends; and a grant from the Presbyterian Board, together with gifts of alumnae and Japanese friends, made possible the purchase of two-thirds of an acre of land for $5000, upon which not only the dormitory, but also, when funds permit, the Alum­ nae Building and a house for the Principal niay be erected. A re­ taining wall is now being constructed and work upon the dormitory will soon begin. All the school buildings have been repainted. The Principal, Mr. Hirotsu, has been instrumental through his Dojo Kwai (Helping Hand Society) in assisting many( young women who have applied to him for help and advice. H e has also been called upon by the Water Police of Moji to come and speak to the men on definitely religious subjects.

NAGASAKI

comfo!tSh?°UTCh ‘hat She iS Sti" in the same toconvenient, un­ comfortable Japanese house, which is infested with white ants, but she can find nothing available that is better. Her eyangel.s.ic paper, the Ochibo, has paassed its seyenth birth­ day and has grown from 200 copies to 1000. One-third of the cost of publishing it is borne by Japanese readers. Through this paper Miss Tomagawa received an invitation to visit our churches in Formosa where in fifty days she spoke at sixty meetings. One young wo m a n ’ writing of her work, said, ‘'She was like a pair of spectacles through which we couuld see God more clearly than ever before ” . A 'ittla f° ™ er Sunday School girl, afflicted with spinal trouble- ^ m t C n0rmal Size’ and her littIe face ‘wlce as old as it should be -lives in a tiny one room cottage with her foster parents. M.ss Couch often visits her, taking the Ochibo and other reading I”3 • Afte.r our Chnstmas celebration I went to take her some little gifts and at her request the mother gave m e fifty sen for the church building,— for Jesus,”, she said. I felt almost as if I should "uni r ‘t’ T°r 1 kn0W that they are p°or’ but when 1 looked at the Childs face I could no longer hesitate; she was just beaming with the joy of giving." A s usual, classes in the home and calling on the women have been Miss Couch’s work, as well as the children’s schools, both of which have grown this year. One of these is held rent-free in the home of the non-Christian mother of one of the pupils. O n Easter Sunday four women closely connected with her work were received into the church. T w o were members of her household,— the cook, whose husband is still in prison and for whose salvation she is now earnestly praying, and Meda San, one of our graduates, who is now separated from all direct human Christian influences. Since she .grad­ uated her m,other has made repeated attempts to regain possession of her for immoral purposes, even resorting to kicks and blows; but the girl has patiently and fearlessly resisted. Miss Couch says in closing: “While weakness of body has lim­ ited the work of the year to some extent, I think there has been great­ er joy in doing what I have been able to do. M a y we all with re­ newed faith and patience enter into the N e w Year, looking up for wisdom to use rightly each opportunity, great or small, as God gives it to us.”

SAGA (No report) Miss Hospers has written an interesting letter to the Young Women's Committee, which is published in a leaflet entitled “An Invitation.”

FUKUOKA Miss Lansing reports: “Our work here in Fukuoka has been greatly blessed this year. W e have had an increase in workers, which no doubt is one reason for it. Mr. Pieters returned from the States in January, and although assigned to Newspaper Evangelistic work in connection with the Federation of Churches, he has kindly assisted in our neighborhood meeting, speaking every other week. This meet­ ing is held here in m y home and has been well attended all the year. There has been an average attendance of twenty-seven, and many of them attend regularly. In December six of our number received bap­ tism and united with the church. All attend church regularly. ' From May two mining engineers have been coming to the house for English conversation and Bible study. These men come twice a week; recently another man, also an engineer, has joined the class. Shortly after coming to me I found out that one of; the men was a Christian. H e had received baptism in a distant city some eight years ago, but since coming to this city more than a year and a half ago had not attended church. His wife was also a Christian. So I per­ suaded them to attend church; the man conges regularly, his wife as often as she can. The other man comes to church frequently and I a m praying that he may be led to Christ. Four afternoons a week the High School students come for Eng­ lish and Bible study. As you know, the boys and girls do not asso­ ciate together in this land, and so I have the boys on Tuesday and Friday afternoons, and the girls on Wednesday and Saturday after­ noons. H o w they love to sing the Gospel songsl Frequently they come and say: “Teacher, we have no time for an English lesson today but we want our Bible lesson and sing.” Three girls have become Christians. One has received baptism, and the other two wish to, but their families will not consent to it. Most of these girls attend the church Sunday School, and many of them remain to the church service. Some of the boys attend church occasionally. One of them has received baptism and comes to church every Sunday. Three children's meetings are held every week, one in the home on Sunday afternoon and the others in different parts of the city. O n Christmas these three united and had their Enter­ tainment together at the church. Some 140 children and about 20 adults met there and had a pleasant time. These children’s meetings m y two helpers have the charge of; and although the attendance is not large, the few come regularly. . At one place a meeting for the mothers is held before the children meet and is attended by three or four women. Also m y helpers go to a nearby village every two weeks and have a meeting with the women there. Some six or eight women attend, and as a result of hearing the Word some of the women are attending church. One has become a Christian, and another woman and her husband have ex­ pressed a desire to become Christians. One of m y helpers is a most consecrated woman and does a great deal of calling at the homes, taking the Gospel to the mothers. M y other helper is young and has not the experience of the older one, but she has won the love of the children and the young girls, and I think is doing a good work. I do some calling at the homes, and when I go I am always received so kindly that I think I will go every day. I should like to, but so frequently I have work in the eve­ ning that I cannot do it. So we give the message as opportunity offers, remembering God’s promise that his W o r d shall endure. “It shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please.”

. KAGOSHIMA Miss Jennie M. Kuyper, who is in charge of the evangelistic work among women and children in Kagoshima, reports as follows: I ar­ rived in Kagoshima in February to take charge of the work There was a promising nucleus,— the fruit of the faithful and efficient ef­ forts of the single Bible woman in charge. W h e n she left in July to be married, her place was taken by two Ferris graduates of this year. Though hampered by inexperience, these two girls are devel­ oping in a most promising way. An important part of our work is among High School girls and graduates, of w h o m we have over forty-five attending weekly Bible classes with more or less regularity. W h e n we consider the heavy schedule of work those in school have to carry, even irregular attend­ ance is encouraging; but when we realize that apart from this Bible class most of them are under very little of Christian influence the fact that they cannot attend regularly is ‘disheartening. In October we organized a Y. W . C. A. among these girls with a membership of twenty-four; and we are trying to bring it into relation with and under the care of the local church. Kagoshima is an important educa­ tional centre with thousands of girl students; yet all that our own and other organizations have been able to do in Christian work among them is pitifully small, owing in large measure to the unfriendly and, in some cases, strongly antagonistic attitude toward Christianity of many of the school principals and teachers. As an industrial centre Kagoshima, has many thousands of women and children employed in factories. Eager though we are to bring the Gospel to them, their long hours and infrequent rest-days (only two Sundays a month) give us very little opportunity. A meeting, started many years ago, has been held once a month in the dormitory of a weaving factory and is well attended. In July nine of these girls made definite and clear confession of their faith in Jesus and their purpose to lead a Christian life. Personal follow-up work with these nine has been very difficult because the matron of the dormitory limits us strictly to the one evening a month and allows no further inter­ course with the girls. W e have to be very careful not to go beyond the privileges granted, lest we lose even this opportunity of one meet­ ing a month. A few girls from other factories and from a sewing school have come for Christian instruction at irregular times as they had a chance. In November we gained permission to hold a weekly meeting for nurses in the dormitory of the government hospital. The average attendance has been thirty-eight out of the entire staff of sbety-five. A number have shown their interest by making personal calls upon us and attending some of the special meetings held in our church. Our two Sunday Schools have had considerable increase in the number coming regularly. Our house Sunday School has the feature, most unusual in Sunday Schools in Japan, of having a class of ten boys who are most faithful in their attendance. Six girls and two boys have been baptized during the year, all of wh o m had been under the instruction of the former Bible woman before my arrival.

Women's Work MASKAT Evangelistic: Mrs. Van Peursem in charge, during the furlough of Miss Lutton m Australia. Medical: Dr. Hosmon in charge. Evangelistic— Miss Lutton left for Australia early in March 1921 since which time Dr. Hosmon has helped Mrs. Van Peursem with the Zenana work. Mrs. Van Peursem generally visits among the women in Maskat four mornings in each week, using the same message in each home, and later writing down the remarks that are made For instance, in telling the Story of the Prodigal Son, one would say: N o Moslem father would welcome a son as this father did, after he spent all the money. He might be glad in his heart that the boy returned but would not show it. H e would have his son beaten be­ fore he would give him a gown,” etc. The other two mornings she has an informal “at home” and serves coffee to those who come, whose number varies from about four to twenty-five. One of the most promising women, on what was supposed to be her death-bed, confessed that she had received Jesus Christ in her heart, but when she recovered, great pressure was brought to bear on her, and she said she had fasted during Ramadhan for peace’s sake, but that she did eat some dates and take a drink when she was sure not to be seen! But she never misses the Sunday service, nor the mornings at home and really seems in earnest. Maskat is largely a Zenana town,

* O n furlough— 1922. for most of the men go off to Bombay, Karachi, Bahrein, or Basra— where there is more prosperity— and leave their wives behind. Con­ sequently the women can go to the Mission house or receive the visits from our missionaries, “no man forbidding them." Mr. Van Peursem was able to negotiate with the G 6vernment of Maskat for a gift of land adjoining Dr. Hosmon’s small dispensary, as her quarters were too crowded, and an Indian gentleman, whose daughter-in-law had been successfully treated by Dr. Hosmon’ has promised money that could be used for the building. So it will not be necessary to apply to the Board at home for that necessary en­ largement. Henry, the deaf slave boy, one of Peter Zwemer’s boys, was ill all summer and passed away on Jan. 2, 1922. Mr. Wingate, the English consul, left Maskat for a better post, to the regret of our missionaries there. Cholera has been raging in their vicinity. , Medical— (Dr. Hosmon in charge). Dr. Hosmon writes that the past year has been full of joy and blessing and that she feels sure that the Holy Spirit is working in the hearts of the people of Maskat. In her Bible talks in the dispensary she finds that the greatest impres­ sion is made by repeating the same message over and over again, showing first from the Old and N e w Testament the sinfulness of the human heart, then dwelling on David’s prayer for a clean heart, and explaining that only through the blood of Christ can cleansing come. She writes that it is delightful to see how the Holy Spirit illuminates this message to them and adds: “Yes, there are women in Maskat who understand the clear, simple truths of the Gospel, but they lack the dynamic power of the Holy Spirit working in them and pressing them to follow and confess Christ openly.” Total number of patients ......

B A S R A . Educational: Superintended by Mrs. Thoms, with the aid of Mrs. Barny. Evangelistic: Under Mrs. Van Ess, aided by her two faithful Bible Women, Saidi Dosha and Saidi Hanna. Medical: Hospital rented to the Government, and no Mission doctors! Educational— The Basra Girls’ School has graduated its first class from the eighth grade and on Nov. 8th diplomas were given to the two Armenian girls who had completed the full course of eight years. It was felt to be a most important occasion. The ladies in charge worked up a very interesting program, hoping to illustrate to the Moslem mothers the advantage it would be to their daughters to complete the high school course. There were songs, recitations, drills, essays by the graduates, and the Story of Ruth dramatized. The most advanced Bible Class, three of wh o m are Moslems, recited the entire eighth chapter of Romans, and no one of the audience said “God forbid” or “May God forgive us”— expressions that are often heard when the Sonship of Christ or His death on the Cross are spoken of, which certainly betokens a growth of tolerance. One mother after another said as they left: “If God will, my daughter shall remain in school until she receives her diploma." A second school has been started in Ashar, a suburb of Basra City, and is already overcrowded. Mrs. Thoms closes her report by writing: “I hope we can soon begin a campaign for funds for school buildings. It will be a happy day for us when we can have schools built for that purpose instead of rented dwelling houses.”’ Evangelistic— The organized work in Basra consists of a Sun­ day Bible Class, and two mid-week prayer meetings— one of Moslems and one Christian. The Bible Class is made up entirely of Moslems— women of the poorer class, who are exceedingly simple and faithful. Mrs. Van Ess has been using an outline of the Life of Christ, and go­ ing over it very slowly and carefully, and they are learning the Lord's prayer and a few hymns. They have already had lessons on the Creed and understand exactly what each clause means. These poor women form the basis of the Moslem prayer meeting, which meets from week to week in the different huts of their little settlement and is one of the most hopeful parts of the Basra women’s work. The Christian prayer meeting is attended mostly by the Protes­ tant women, with an occasional Moslem school girl or neighbor, and especial stress has been laid on the necessity of praying for their Moslem neighbors. One inquirer has come through Mekkiyeh’s in­ fluence and is really an earnest seeker after truth, and several other women show genuine interest. ■ The work, however, is house visiting, and besides the “in­ herited friendships that have come through all the Mission women who have lived in Basra, Mrs. Van Ess finds the warmest possible welcome in the homes of her old school girls, many of wh o m are now married, and she feels that with them the evangelistic opportunities are unlimited. The impression which school made on them in the most plastic period of their lives is strong and vital and in many cases it has been an utter surprise to find out how deeply the Chris­ tian idea still influences them. In closing her report, Mrs. Van Ess writes: “Ideally, the wo men’s work should be in charge of one who has full time to give to it and who has a suitable place for receiving visitors, but even under the present imperfect conditions there is much to encourage us and to make us feel that the darkness is turning to dawning and in God's time they shall see the Light of the World.”

BAHREIN Evangelistic: Mrs. Gerrit J. Pennings in charge. Medical: Mrs. Paul W. Harrison. Evangelistic— Three, and sometimes four, mornings a week have been devoted to teaching reading in the Gospel of Luke to the six women attendants. One day each week has been set aside for tour­ ing, or visiting in the distant parts of the town. Thursday has been the Reception Day”; in the morning there has been a sewing class, when the members made cotton-filled patch-work quilts and in the. afternoon special little parties were arranged for by invitation. The special Christmas receptions were attended by large crowds, and be­ fore Miss Van Pelt left for Kuweit in January about seventy-five of' her friends came to bid her goodbye and express their appreciation of her and sorrow at her departure. Saturday mornings the in-patients at the hospital were visited,, with reading and talking, and prayers in the dispensary. Tuesday afternoons, prayer meetings were held regularly and led in turn by all the ladies in the Station, including the Colporteur’s- wife. A number of women attended the Sunday morning church service and the evening song service— and the Sunday-school. O n free afternoons calls were made by the missionary ladies. U — T — continues to be a personal friend and her progress in the- spiritual life is encouraging. “For her and all who have shown real interest in the Gospel message of salvation in Christ, we ask your prayers that the Lord may complete that which H e has begun.” Medical— There is no separate report of W o m a n ’s Medical W o r k apart from that of Dr. Harrison, as Mrs. Harrison’s health has not permitted her to do a great deal of active medical work. O n that account, the work has been conducted as one unit, with the assistance- of the very efficient Indian nurse, who has been largely trained by Mrs. Harrison. Dr. Harrison reports what has probably been the largest amount of work that the hospital has ever handled in one year, though the- continuity of the work has been broken by numerous tours. Great numbers of patients come from a distance for surgical treatment, so* that the hospital is becoming more and more a surgical rather than a medical institution. ‘ A most generous gift of a new instrument-case has been made to- the Operating Ro o m by Dr. Van Neste of Ridgewood, N; J., as a me ­ morial to Mrs. Van Neste, thus “continuing the unostentatious and efficient unselfishness of her w h o m it commemorates.” Dr. Harrison concluded his report in these words: “The oppor­ tunity before us increases constantly, as does the field we have to- cover. W e need a more adequate staff and improved equipment, but what we need most of all is a larger measure of the Spirit of Christ in all that we do, so that He can be seen in us and draw the Arabs to- Himself.” Dr. Da m e has given invaluable help in the hospital and in touring as has Mrs. Dame with the wo men’s work in this their second year of’ language study. The resident missionaries gave the warmest wel­ come to the Misses Jackson and Miss Dalenberg who reached Bah­ rein in December and started in almost immediately on their language- study.

KUWEIT Medical: Mrs. E. E. Calverley, M.D., assisted by Miss Van Pelt. On account of ill health, Miss Scardefield has been obliged to spend, most of 1921 in Madanapalle, India, under the kind care of Dr. Hart and'. Miss Te Winkel, and has not therefore been able to take any active part in the work in Kuweit. . The W o m e n ’s Medical W o r k of Kuweit entered upon the tenth year of its existence and for the past two years has occupied the new hospital building which means more room and better equipment. The Indian nurse brought from the Arcot, Mission in 1920 has proved a great success. Miss Van Pelt arrived from Bahrein in February, 1921, and took up her work as superintendent of the Men's and W o m e n ’s Hospitals. The year has been encouraging and enjoyable. The number of out­ patients has increased and there have been in-patients almost con­ tinually. These have come from the rich and poor— Arab and Persian — and the accommodations have seemed to be acceptable to all. Dispensary services have been held daily, conducted by the dif­ ferent missionaries as usual. Interest has been shown and portions of Scripture have been asked for, but no one seems willing to endure the shame and take up her cross and follow Christ. Mrs. Calverley has also had charge of the men’s medical work during Dr. Mylrea s absence. A trained Indian assistant with the rest of the staff kept the work going with a little supervision and help from Mrs. Calverley. The future of the W o m e n ’s Medical W o r k is not very bright. The Mission has only two women doctors— Dr. Hosmon in estab­ lished work in Maskat and Mrs. Calverley, who leaves for her fur­ lough this spring. H o w great would be our joy if an American woman doctor should hear the call and invest her life for Christ’s Kingdom in Arabia I Nov., 1920— Oct. 31, 1921. Total treatments in dispensary ...... 8115 No. of patients treated in dispensary...... 3268 No. of out-calls...... 251 No. of operations ...... 140 No. of in-patients ...... 34 Spending in hospital, days ...... 511

AMARA Evangelistic: Mrs. Bilkert in charge. ^ As this is only the second report we have had from Amara and conditions there are different from those in our other Stations, it has been thought wise to give Mrs. Bilkert’s report in her own words. It is really a summary of her two years’ work there. Mr. and Mrs. Bilkert are to go to Bagdad when Dr. and Mrs. Cantine leave on furlough, and Mr. and Mrs. Dykstra have been appointed to Amara. The work among the women of Amara has been most pleasant, encouraging and full of promise. From a few friendships almost forcefully picked up there has developed a community acquaintance­ ship which easily takes the visiting time of one worker. “As in every place, there are different social classes of women to be reached. In Amara are many homes of the old high class Turks, who remember and relate the better days before the war. These still maintain their dignity— often in spite of present poverty— and are considered the big families of the town. There are several families of Persian extraction and a very few negroes. O n the fringes of the town and in the countless villages around it are the M a ’danies, who are the free, unveiled coolie women. These latter are a most ignorant class, who are hardly sure whether God created Ali or Ali created God. They are looked down upon by all the other classes combined. “Several of the women are intelligently religious. That is, there are several ‘Qarias’ who are proud of their distinction and are held in high esteem by the rest of the women. Some of them can quote at great lengths from the Koran, and sometimes Tradition, and are absolutely ready to prove anything and everything by it. At all spe­ cial dates in their calendar, readings are given in some of the large Turkish homes. These are carried on on a large scale. By invitation I attended one and was much impressed. The open courtyard was packed by all kinds of women and in the center behind a decorated table chanted four negro singers. Native sweets and cigarettes prob­ ably added to the attraction of the occasion, yet there seemed to be much enjoyment in the mere listening to the monotonous chants of the singers. These gatherings fill a social as well as religious need in their lives and no doubt we could successfully use this method in our work. The M a ’danies have no such gatherings that I know of. They are too busy for such luxuries. But those who live in the town can be found at their grinding and their weaving, and their simplicity and openmindedness is fertile soil for the Gospel. Fasting is con­ sidered compulsory among the upperclass women but loses its hold as it goes down the scale. The cooly women do not fast. “Though I have always been cordially invited to visit among the houses yet it has been difficult to get the women to call at our house. Fear of what would be said of them' is the main reason but also fear of being seen by men is another. Our house has only the one street door and the women feel afraid to enter where they know Arab men go in also. In a Mission compound with a separate apartment for the women, this drawback would be done away. There has been no room for a women’s mejlis and it has been a drawback indeed. There must be privacy if we expect new Moslem friends to come to our houses. One misses greatly the help of medical and educational work. Iodine and epsom salts have made many friends as it is, and the way people with all kinds of ailments have come to the Mission house for help shows what a field there is even in Amara. The Government hos­ pital does not meet the need. I have often thought what a work a community nurse could do and earnestly recommend such a person to be stationed in Amara as soon as possible. Many requests have come for a girls’ school. There are none but the Koran schools and these are not in very good repute. This surely is one.of our greatest needs and our greatest opportunity as well. . “There has been a remarkable number of opportunities for di­ rectly religious conversation and Bible reading in visiting among the homes. In fact, I believe that it has been our religion that has been the greatest factor in the making of friendship. There is never a need of apology in introducing religion, and often have I been asked to read and repeat Gospel stories. In many cases there has appeared a real desire for a better knowledge of our Christian truths and a higher moral life. I have found that the reading of simple Gospel stories without labeling them as such will call forth a gratifying response. There has been no chance for sale of Scriptures among the women yet. In fact, I have found only one woman who can read anything else but the Koran. She has been reading the Gospel for some time, however, and is convinced of its truth. Through the influence of Ali, his mother and sister have come for k Gospel reading once during the week for several months as well as coming to the service on Sun­ day. They have usually brought two or three other women with them. They are ignorant women but have showed some real advance and desire to learn. The moral factor in our Book seems to touch them more than anything else. “In Christmas week, at an afternoon entertainment for the w o m ­ en there were over thirty present. This seemed very gratifying as most of them had never come to the house before. N o doubt such gatherings will be the only method of getting timid ones used to com­ ing to the Mission- house. Those who would never come alone will come in a crowd. There has not been an opportunity for touring among the river villages but such touring should certainly be done. W h e n transport is given for the work, a great field will be opened. “The greatest call so far has been just for visiting the women in 'their homes and getting into new homes. It has taken time and has seemed a slow method sometimes. But without the help of a hospi­ tal or school this has been the only way. O n the other hand, it has been most gratifying and promising. The women of Amara seem ready for Christian teaching and certainly have shown a longing for better lives. May their needs have the prayers and serious considera­ tion of every one who reads this report 1”

BAGDAD Evangelistic: Mrs. Cantine in charge. Bagdad is our very newest Station, having been taken over on the withdrawal of the Church Missionary Society of England, and all will want to hear everything Mrs. Cantine can tell about the new place and its new experiences and opportunities: s “It was with mingled feelings of regret and anticipation that I left Basrah and the large circle of friends and acquaintances which had been won for us there by some twenty years of women's work, to go to Bagdad and begin anew. It was not an easy thing to leave the place where I had been working for some years, and especially at a time when it seemed as if we soon might see results. But the thought that my work there was left in younger and stronger hands than mine was a comforting one, and naturally I looked forward with consider­ able interest to living in Bagdad awhile. “Although I knew that Bagdad was a large city, I was quite un­ prepared to see a place the bigness of whose population was so con­ stantly forced on one’s notice. It is very closely built up, and the streets are so small and narrow that there is barely space enough for the large number of people who are continually passing to and fro, and the result is crowds everywhere. It was truly depressing to see them and to realize that here were only two missionaries to preach the gospel to two hundred thousand men and women. I felt that we were utterly unequal for this great task. “W e arrived in Bagdad Christmas Eve, but it took some weeks of cleaning, painting and whitewashing to make our house, which was in a very unsanitary condition, fit to live in; so it was nearly February before we finally got settled and in order. “The Christian women of the Protestant congregation were all eager to come and call, and not only that, but also to make repeated visits; so in order to make sure of saving some time to get acquainted with the Moslem women, I appointed a special day each week in which to receive the Christians. I was glad to have them come and found them to be a nice class of women, more refined and of a higher spiritual order than many of those I had known before. But when we talked of our responsibility to the Moslems, they were unrespon­ sive and cold, and worse than that, they even tried to discourage us from working among them, saying that it was all very well to do that in places where they were not fanatical, but that in Bagdad the Mos­ lems hated the Christians bitterly, and the only way to live safely among them was to leave them alone. They thought it was a great mistake to try and associate with them, and preaching to them would only stir up their fanaticism and make them more dangerous. The long trying time they had passed through in Bagdad, and the violence done to their relatives in Turkey is probably responsible for this viewpoint, but it will easily be recognized that endeavoring to change it and seeking to interest them in the spiritual welfare of the Moslems must be one of the missionaries’ duties. In giving this help, which is so sadly needed, our work 'will be the gainer and we shall be better missionaries to the Moslems ourselves. “While what I had seen of the women in our own neighborhood led me to doubt their terrible fanaticism, it was with some curiosity and apprehension that I went to make m y first call on one of them. I made an excuse of wanting to ask about a good place to buy eggs, but I would not have needed any excuse at all, for they seemed pleased to think a white woman cared enough for them to come and see them. Several of the neighbors who had seen me go in, came too, to find out what I wanted, and they all seemed friendly and said I must be sure to let them help me about buying things, for the Arabs always cheated strangers as much as they could. They said they had felt so sorry for me, thinking I must be lonely coming to a strange place, that they had wanted to come and visit me, but the Anglais usually did not care for Arab visitors. I told them we were not Anglais but Americans, that I wanted them to come and see me and hoped they would. They seemed quite glad to know that I was an American and attributed m y friendliness to that. They had thought we were English, or perhaps Armenians. They knew something about Wilson and the U. S. A. For some days afterwards the children of the Mahalla followed me around every time I came out of the house, urg­ ing me to come and visit their mothers,— which shows how easy it is to make friends with children. It reminded me of old days in Mus­ cat when I used to go about trying to make friends with the women in this way. Basrah had had so many years of women's work before I went there that I often felt I was reaping open homes and friendships because of the sowing done in earlier years by Mrs. Worrall and oth­ ers. In Bagdad there has been much work done, too, by the ladies of the C. M. S., but they lived in a different part of 'the town from where we are, and so far I have met only one Moslem woman who knew them. N o doubt I shall find more as m y circle of acquaintances, now still so small, grows larger, and also enter into their labors I know I shall appreciate it, for it is much easier to go and visit a house where one knows that a welcome awaits one, than to go up to a door hesitatingly, with one's heart in one’s throat, not knowing whether they will receive one or not. “The women in our Mahalla belong mostly to the lower middle class, and seem to have little else to do but sit in their doorways and gossip with the neighbors. This has helped me to get acquainted with them, for it is quite easy to stop and have a little chat. But it does not give much chance for serious conversation or for reading. As a matter of fact, I have not tried to do much of that so far, think­ ing it wiser to wait until we become better acquainted. “I was very glad to run across an. old Basrah friend one day and to learn that she lived quite near us. She has come to see me a few times and has always asked me to read to her. But when I visit her and there are other women present she does not ask it. She told me that the women of Bagdad were not religious and there was no use in m y trying to read to them. I told her they might learn to like it in time, but she seemed to doubt it. She said the Kerbela people were much more religious and she wished I would go there some day with her and take my Gospel with me. I shall certainly be glad to go and hope it can be arranged. “Not long after our arrival in Bagdad, I heard that the wife, or rather one of the wives, of Sayyid Talib, a high official, had come up from Basrah; so, as she was an old friend, I went to call upon her. As we were talking about our both being strangers in Bagdad, she said she hoped I would come over often to see her and also use her house in order to get acquainted with the women who came to visit her. She reminded m e that our friendship dated far back, and spoke of know­ ing many of us intimately, mentioning several of the ladies by name, and said that she had always felt that we were true friends to the Arab women and had their good at heart. Had I known they would leave Bagdad so soon, I would have made more use of her kind offer, but having no desire to wear out m y welcome, I did not go as often as I might have done. She is a very nice, sweet woman, and a good friend, and I am truly sorry that she could not stay in Bagdad. “In seeking to become acquainted in a new place one misses the help of the School and Hospital very much. There are no Moslem girls in the Bagdad Protestant School, but there are about two hun­ dred in the Government Girls’ School. This is quite a large school with a staff of ten teachers. In Mosul also there are two Govern­ ment schools for girls, one with a hundred and fifty pupils and the other with something over a hundred. The Koran and Moslem tra­ dition are taught in all these schools. In the Mosul schools the teach­ ers are all Mohammedan except one, Muneera Eshoo. She told me that the Educational Superintendent had told her never to talk about religion, and that it was rather difficult as the teachers and older girls sometimes asked her questions about Christianity. In the Bag­ dad school there are a few Christian teachers. One of the saddest things in thinking about our future work for women and girls in this field is the fact that the C. M. S. failed to get all these girls under Christian influence, for it will be all the harder to get them after­ wards. It should make us very glad that we started educational work for girls in Basrah long ago and we ought to redouble our efforts in that dine wherever we can. It is a most important part of our w o m ­ en’s work. “I realize that this is but a poor report, and I wish it were better and could tell of more work done, but in the short time we have been in Bagdad there has not been time for more than to get a little bit acquainted with a few people. I hope, however, the impressions and the general knowledge gained will be of some value in the coming year’s work. One of the first things I want to do on our return is to start a prayer-meeting with the Christian women. I feel that pray­ ing for the Moslems will help more than anything else to rid them of their unchristian prejudice. And I hope that their prayers will do much more than that, both for themselves and for those for w h o m they pray. Before closing I also want to ask all to pray earnestly and often for the women’s work in Bagdad. I a m sure that through united effort and united prayer we may expect the blessing for which we long.” . K ate V. S. O lcott, ' Secretary for Arabia. Annual Reports for the Year Ending May, 1922

REPORT OF THE CORRESPONDING ' ' • SECRETARY

N o sensational happenings have m a r k e d this swiftly pass­ ing year; yet it has not been uneventful. In its even tenor w e have felt the steady impulse of the Spirit of G o d in the C h u r c h ; w e have believed that our R e f o r m e d Chu rch w ou ld “carry out her part in the team play for a better* world.” • The Peace Conference at Washington has, perhaps with­ out our full consciousness, been remedial to our nearsighted­ ness, bringing the far places within our range of vision and giving us to see the people of the East, not “as trees walking,” but as m e n of m i n d and spirit akin to our own. Bookshops have blazed with titles surprisingly related to our missionary program and news stands have poured out grist for our mis­ sionary mill. Never has there been such a stirring of the international imagination, never such a wealth of material for stimulating the missionary mind. .The text bo o k for the year, the K i n g d o m and T h e Nations, with that almost pro­ phetic timeliness that characterizes the books of the United Study Committee, has helped the Church to see h o w it can and mu s t play its part in lifting the burdens of a we a r y world. Increasingly w e have been aware of the responsiveness of the w o m e n of the Chu rch to the appeal of the Treasurer that everyone should do her utmost. T h r o u g h the first six mo n t h s of the year the Treasurer's reports s h o w e d a m a r k e d falling off from the receipts of last year. In the mails c a m e expres­ sions of regret that times we r e hard and people could not give as they wished or as they were accustomed, but even “out of their deep poverty the riches of their liberality abo unde d” and as times improved the gifts increased beyond our fondest expectations.

Fo u r legacies amounting to $3,050 have been transferred to the Contingent Fund to be drawn upon during the summer months, when the springs of our resources are low and the well is in danger of running dry. . Other signs of missionary awakening have been seen in the nature of the letters that have crowded the Secretary's desk, m a n y so indefinitely addressed as to indicate that it w a s the writer's first feeling out after missionary informa­ tion. Requests have come for photographs and personal sketches of individual missionaries; for pr o gram materials of every sort for wo m e n , yo u n g people and children; for special­ ized literature o n given topics, such as: " A dialogue for a' Christian Endeavor Society between a Christian girl of Japan and a Buddist girl” or "A convincing argument for a hard-headed business m a n on what Missions have done for commerce.” T he re have been d e m a n d s for stereopticon lectures and for plays and pageants for all ages and occasions. T h e costume department has done a thriving business. W o r d has c o m e from m a n y sources of the effectiveness of pageants, whether on a week-night or at the Su n d a y service, in thrusting h o m e the missionary message. Speakers, too, have been in such d e m a n d as to tax rather heavily the few who have been available this year. Miss Nellie Z w e m e r and Miss E d n a Bee k m a n , at h o m e for a rest from their duties in China, have spoken over a hundred times each to churches, societies, Bible Schools and Classical C o n ­ ferences. Mrs. Mylrea has been much in demand. She has spoken literally from coast to coast,— from Puget S o u n d to Long Island,— though the people of the Middle West were disappointed not to have her tarry with them. Mrs. D a y has stood ready to serve at twenty-four hours notice and Dr. Lewis Scudder, Mrs. Walter Scudder, M. D. and Mr. Day have helped out in emergencies. In connection with the western group .of Conferences a n e w Missionary Union wa s organized last fall, the Missionary Union of Whiteside County, Illinois, for churches too remote to attend the Conference of the Chicago and Illinois Union. Mrs. Ja m e s Wa y e r , Vice-President for the Particular Sy n o d of Chicago, writes: ' “Our warmest appreciation is again due to the missionaries on furlough. Mrs. Dykstra spoke to twenty-three auxiliaries in -this Synod during the past year. The name of Zwemer has an unfailing charm for our Western churches and Miss Nellie Zwemer has en­ deared herself anew to the people in our Synod. Her earnest appeal for more workers and prayers that the power of Christ may uplift the womanhood of China must bear fruit in the coming days. “There have been seven large group meetings held besides the regular fall conferences. One is impressed with the spirit of con­ secration manifested by the women of the Middle West who are increasingly giving their most precious possessions, their sons and daughters, for the foreign field. There are at present, in active ser­ vice for our W o m a n ’s Board forty missionaries who have come from the homes of the Reformed Churches in the Middle West. Our hearts are filled with gratitude to God that He has so privileged us.” Mrs. W a y e r herself in spite of illness and family cares and sorrow has been busy among the churches of her Synod “presenting before Auxiliaries, group meetings and confer­ ences the needs of our down-trodden sisters in other lands." Mrs. H e n r y W . Pietenpol, Vice-President for the Particular S y n o d of Iowa, reports: “The visit of Miss Nellie Zwemer to the Minnesota churches has done much to increase missionary interest in that locality and there is no doubt that Mr. and Mrs. Mylrea’s visit in the four western churches will be productive of much good. . . “The financial distress has no doubt caused a decrease in giving but there is hope, with this situation partly relieved and with the growing consciousness of the necessity of every woman actively supporting the work, that the gifts for the next year may increase.” It w a s a pleasure to have Mrs. W a y e r and Mrs. Pietenpol with us for the June Meeting of the Progress Campaign C o m ­ mittee in connection with General Synod and Mrs. W a y e r and Mrs. Garret Hondelink for the Progress Campaign Committee in Nov embe r. T he se contacts with our mo r e distant me m b e r s are always occasions of mutual benefit. T h e Vice-Presidents' reports of the activity of the Classical Committees in presenting the various causes of the Board to the Auxiliaries is confirmed b y mo s t interesting letters from the Classical Committees themselves. A Conference of Classi­ cal Committees for the Particular Synods of N e w Y o r k and N e w Brunswick was held at the Board Rooms on the first day of December, addressed b y missionaries and heads of various departments of the B oa rd work. A detailed report of the meeting, with practical suggestions for the societies, was sent to all other Classical Committees throughout the country. Changes in the Classical Committee membership have taken place as follows:

Some of these new Young Women's Societies are 'doubt­ less the aftermath of Miss Frances Davis's thorough canvass of the Churches during her service as Field Secretary for Young Women. To the continuance of her work the loyal Y. W . Committee have given much time and thought. While they have missed Miss Davis’s enthusiastic and efficient lead­ ership they have not allowed the wo r k of the Yo u n g W o m e n ’s Societies to lapse. Special a c k nowl edgme nt is m a d e of the work of Miss Elizabeth V a n Brunt and Miss Mabel Littell, w h o have carried the responsibility of the Y o u n g W o m e n ’s business at m u c h personal inconvenience. Miss Davis’s resignation took us by surprise in mi d s u m m e r . After returning to the office in the fall to give a running start to the year’s work, she left for a Y. W . C. A. Secretary­ ship in Texas, w h e n c e she reports a busy and ha p p y year. Changes are being made in the Young W o m e n ’s Committee which simplify its organization and relate it m o r e closely to the Board. O u r reception into B o a r d M e m b e r s h i p today of those w h o have worked so valorously on the Yo u n g W o m e n ’s C o m mitt ee is the basis of high hope both for the present Y o u n g W o m e n ’s W o r k and for the future of the Board. T h e B o a r d has been obliged to accept the resignations of Mrs. George W . Downs and Mrs. J. H. Brandow. It has added to its membership Mrs. George E. Bergen, Miss Elizabeth R. Van Brunt, ‘Mrs. Anthony Van Westenburg, Miss Ruth Hawley and Miss Jeanette Westveer. From the roll of our Honorary Vice-Presidents w e have lost b y death Miss Ka t e Frelinghuysen of Somerville, N. J. and Mrs. George S. Bishop of East Orange, and from our active membership, Mrs. Isaac W . Gowen, a member of the B oa rd for twenty-five years— a quarter-century of signal de­ votion to the w o r k of Missions in the Board, in the Classes that she has served as Classical Committee, in her o w n church and in the Ch u r c h at large. S h e carried the world up o n her heart and burned out in service. T h e Auxiliary of the Church of East Orange has endowed, in Mrs. Bishop’s m e m o r y , a hospital bed in Bahrein, Arabia. As a memorial to Mrs. Gowen, Grove Church has estab­ lished a "Missionary fund” of $5,000, the interest of which is to be designated each year by Dr. Gowen, and the Mission­ ary Union of the Classis of Palisades has pledged the en­ dowment of a bed in Mary Lott Lyles Hospital at Madan- apalle, India. T o our interests in S u m m e r Conferences, hitherto limited to the Summer School for Women's Foreign Missionary Societies at Northfield and the Student Conferences at Silver Bay and Lake Geneva, we added this year the Missionary Education Conference at Silver Bay by the appointment of a m e m b e r of the B o a r d o n the Silver B a y Executive C o m ­ mittee and b y representation at the Conference. A dozen or more young men and women formed the nucleus of a R e f o r m e d Chu rch delegation which w e hope will rapidly increase in size and strength. Rev. F ra nk Eckerson as one of the Conference leaders kept the little Ref o r m e d Chu rch group in continual good h u m o r in spite of heat and humidity. A single summer’s experience of Silver Bay dis­ closes this distinction between the Conferences at Silver B a y and Northfield: that Northfield is the m o r e inspirational. Silver B a y the mo r e educational. Other gatherings in which members of the Board have participated are the Dinner of the International Missionary Council held after the close of the first meeting of that C o m ­ mittee at Lake Moh onk in the fall, the Foreign Missions Conference at Atlantic City, the Federation of W o m e n ’s Boards of Foreign Missions in N e w York, the National D a y of Prayer for Missions, a conference on the Development of Missionary Interest in the Churches, a conference on Agri­ cultural Missions, and the first presentation of the Report of the C o m miss ion sent to China, under the leadership of Dr. Ernest Burton, to investigate problems of Christian edu­ cation as related to the general educational system of China. It w a s our privilege at the time of the International M i s ­ sionary Council Meeting to entertain Miss G. A. Gollock of the International R e v i e w of Missions and Dr. A. L. W a r n - shuis. Secretary of the International Council, at an informal dinner of the two Foreign Boards.0 O u r Board is represented on various Interdenominational Committees b y the s a m e m e m b e r s as last year.* In addition to these. Miss O. H. Lawrence and Miss Sarah Bussing have been appointed to the W o m e n ’s Committee on Leadership and Literature of the W o r l d ’s S u n d a y School Association, Mrs. J. G. F a g g to the Executive C o m mitt ee of the Inter­ national Association of Agricultural Missions, Miss M . L. Edwards to the Committee on Union Medical Colleges in China. Friendly and co-operative relations between the six Boards of the Church have been maintained through the Progress Campaign, which has been valuable to the Boards as a clear­ ing house and to the Church as a promoter of activity. O u r B oa rd has expressed its desire for a continuance of these relations after the completion of the Progress Campaign through s o m e similar committee or council for co-ordination of our various interests. A sub-committee of the Progress Campaign has made recommendations to the Boards for the creation of an Educational department which will include a program of missionary education for the entire church. This will help lift the burden that has been heavy upon us this winter because, with evidences of increased missionary in­ terest in the young people’s departments of the Church, w e

A n attempt has been m a d e to relate the Yo u n g People’s Socie­ ties to the w o r k of the Mission Boards b y the preparation of monthly mission topics on our Reformed Church work and b y the assignment to the Y o u n g People’s Societies of a $5>000 share in our Budgets. Similarly an effort has been m a d e to- enlist the interest of the S u n d a y Schools in Village Education in,India, which is expected in the near future to hold an in­ creasing place in our attention. T w e n t y village schools have have been adopted by Sunday Schools or organized classes as their peculiar charge, and general contributions from the Sunday Schools to this work have aggregated $468.84. Full Reports of Foreign Corresponding Secretaries appear elsewhere in the Ye a r Book. W e note with interest that Dr. E u g e n e S. Booth, Principal of Ferris Seminary, has completed forty years of missionary service in Japan and Miss Margaret C. Morrison and Miss Sara M. Couch each thirty years in China and Japan respec­ tively ; that Mr. Hirotsu has rendered twenty years of service to Sturges Seminary. W e record with gratitude that the. Missions have been reinforced b y the following newly appointed missionaries: Japan: Miss Edith V. Teets Miss Janet Gertrude Pieters Arabia: Miss Ruth Jackson Miss Rachel Jackson Miss Cornelia Dalenburg t Miss Grace O. Strang China: Miss Elizabeth G. Bruce and that four other y o u n g w o m e n are under appointment to fill the depleted ranks of the Japan Mission. T h e support of Miss Bruce has been assumed by the Park Hill Church of Yonkers, N. Y. as a memorial to her father, Dr. W m . P. Bruce, former pastor of the Church. Miss Van Doren, Miss Kellien, Mrs. Dykstra and Mrs. R y d e r have returned to their fields after furlough. Mrs. Peeke, Mrs. Oltmans, Misses Janet and Evelyn Oltmans, and Miss Scardefield have arrived in this country; Mrs. John Scudder, Dr. Ida Scudder, Miss Gertrude Dodd, Dr. Louisa Hart, Miss Charlotte Wyckoff, Mrs. Sharon Thoms, Dr. Eleanor T. Calverly, Mrs. J a m e s Cantine and Mrs. Paul W . Harrison are shortly expected. T h e Arcot Mission has for­ war ded a special resolution of appreciation of Miss D o d d ’s voluntary service and repeats its urgent request for t w o m o r e w o m e n doctors. Dr. Ida Scudder and Miss Sarella Te Winkel have been chosen as mem bers of the District Educational Council; this is significant because these selections, under the n e w edu­ cational policy, are m a d e not b y the British G o v e r n m e n t but b y the Indians. It is with deep regret that w e part with Mrs. K n u d Lange, (Henrietta W y n k o o p Drury) w h o has been a m e m b e r of the Arcot Mission since 1906. Mrs. Lange is claimed by the Danish Mission, to which her husband belongs. W i t h .pleasure w e hear of the effort of Ferris Seminary Students and Alumnae to raise an Endowment Fund. Miss Sada Hayashi, Secretary for this Endowment, worked hard during her entire s u m m e r vacation, not only soliciting funds by correspondence but making with her o w n hands hundreds of articles to sell for the fund. Miss Petra Johnsen after a brief connection with the A m o y Mission has been married to Mr. Roy Allgood of Amoy. The A m o y Mission appeals again for nurses. Cards have been received announcing the marriage of Miss M a y Baldwin Dem a r e s t of Ferris Seminary to Rev. Hub ert Kuyper. Mr. and Mrs. K u y p e r will m a k e their h o m e at Oita, Japan. Miss Green has left Tong-an and taken up her long-antici­ pated w o r k in the North River District. T h e difficulty of organizing the school system with insufficient equipment is the burden of her rsong. S h e m a k e s special request that w e pray for her as she opens up work for w o m e n and girls in this ne w district. O n e of our beloved missionaries, w h o has spent nearly fifty years in China, feeling that she is giving only half service in these later years, asked that half her salary be retained b y the Treasurer and used to secure a ne w worker! T h e Board's action in refusing to grant her request has received the hearty endorsement of the Auxiliary that supports her. F r o m the devotion of such missionaries w e d r a w increased devotion to that part of the task that is ours to perform. W i t h faith in the great cause w e represent, with faith in G o d ’s power to use us for the task H e has given us to do, w e enter hopefully, joyously, the d o o r w a y of another year.

^Eliza P. C o b b , Corresponding Secretary. REPORT OF THE EDITORIAL AND EDUCATIONAL SECRETARY ' T h e outstanding feature of the editorial department has been the merger of the Christian Intelligencer a n d the M i s ­ sion Field. This consolidation w a s not effected hastily. After careful consideration of the interests involved, the proposal to unite the papers received the endorsement of the isoaras. Educationally the w o r k has been through the printed page, and visitation of churches and societies. T h e year s activi­ ties have been varied and many. Appreciating that our Christian End eavo r Societies could be m o r e closely allied with the missionary work of the denomination, a committee representing the Mission Boards has prepared monthly topics and the subject matter is published in the Christian Intelligencer and T h e Leader. . c • Northfield’s week for W o m e n ’s Foreign Missionary Socie­ ties w a s one of stimulus, instruction and inspiration. For “The Kingdom and the Nations” which has been the text bo o k for the year the W o m a n ’s B oa rd issued as supplemen­ tary material the following leaflets: A Jar of Ash es or— N e w W i n e in N e w W i n e Skins. A Spiritual Angler. Questions of the D a y in South India. T h e Story of Sita. Dwelling within Curtains. Present D a y Arabia. An Arabian Day Dream. Spiritual Gardening. Just a Country1 Girl. Through the Board of Publication w e report the sale of 450 copies of the book. W e participated in the dinner given b y the Central C o m ­ mittee to the British and Continental delegates to the In­ ternational Council. T h e program of the Foreign Missions Conference presented the technique of the W o r l d Enterprise, and the Federation of W o m e n ’s Boards considered how the “host of women could m o r e efficiently “publish the glad tidings. Interdenominational Conferences on themes allied to our W o r k have broadened one’s outlook, and consciously and unconsciously colored thought and effort. T o meet the popular demand for the dramatic we have issued “T h e T r i u m p h of Christianity.” and “A n Afternoon in Arabia” For use in connection with the Baby Roll w e hcjye printed “The Hospital Babies’ Home, Vellore, India. In Maskat with the Doctor” has been reprinted, and through the kind co-operation of Rev. Mr. V a n Kcrsen the leaflets, “T h e People on our Street” and “T h e Doctor L a d y ” have been translated into Dutch. India is the theme for the next text books and it is with, a feeling of pride that w e announce that one of the books, “Lighted to Lighten,” is b y Miss Alice B. V a n D o r e n of the- Arcot Mission. A series of leaflets has been prepared for the use of societies, as follows: M y First Love. In prison and ye came. Three Panels. Into the W o r l d of Friendship. M y Doctor Missie. A R e m b r a n d t Picture. One Sunday Evening in Chittoor. T h e aim editorially and educationally is that which actuated' Dr. Alexander Duff, namely, “T h e shaping of missionary- effort in going an d giving.”

O. H. L a w r e n c e , ' Editorial and Educational Secretary.. REPORT OF THE YOUNG W O M E N ’S FOREIGN COMMITTEE “T h e old order changeth, giveth place to new,” and in this last report of the Y o u n g W o m e n ’s C o m m i t t e e as it has been we would salute the Committee on Young W o m e n s Work which is to be and wish for the w or k greater efficiency and a richer blessing. W e hope and pray that a Secretary will soon be found and believe that the t w o Committees within the Boards, working in full co-operation with the Secretary will fully preserve the unity of the work. f . T h e resignation of the Field Secretary in the early fall laid n e w duties on the Committee. T h e job has been too big for us because of lack of the proper a m o u n t of time to give to it and also of training, but w e trust that any ground lost this year m a y be regained during the next by an efficient Secretary. • T h e bulk of the office w o r k fell on Miss V a n Brunt w ^° chairman of the united committee had the best grasp of the situation. Others, and especially Miss Briggs of the Domestic Committee have come in as they could to answer correspond­ ence There has been a steady demand for literature, which w a s easy to supply and often there we r e requests for in­ formation or advice which while not furnished so easily yet has been been done gladly, for it s h o w s a live interest w h e n people ask questions even if they are puzzlers. W e will appreciate the w o r k of the Secretary m o r e in-the future and m a y be able to give her m o r e intelligent help. W e have realized a n e w the efficiency of Miss Davis and have missed her personally as well as officially. It w a s well for her she w e n t too far a w a y to be easily consulted. W e wish to express our appreciation of the w o r k of Miss G w l a d y s Clarke w h o gladly gave us several days of efficient clerical work. S o m e of the fall conferences were addressed by Miss H a w ­ ley in the interest of the y o u n g w o m e n ’s w o r k and several # this spring also. Besides this she has spoken to several young w o m e n ’s societies. It has been a great joy to the Com mitt ee that this part of the wo r k has not been at a stand­ still because of the lack of a Secretary, as w e feel w e cannot estimate too highly the importance of personal contact. W e have felt this very strongly in regard to our special missionaries. Their letters have .made s o m e of t h e m seem like such real friends that w e are eagerly looking forward to their next furloughs and a face to face acquaintance. W h e r e w e already have that we are cherishing m a n y happy memories. W e have had three resignations during the year. M iss D e y o had been secretary of our committee for a n u m b e r of years and we had hoped her health would permit her to • continue Miss Landrine became a member of another de­ nomination. W e also lost Miss Jellame w h o felt she must concentrate her efforts on certain work she had undertaken in her h o m e town. Miss Westveer, our vice-chairman for the Synod of Chicago, reports larger contributions than last year and practically all of the young w o m e n ’s societies have had a share in the work. There was a group conference in Holland in the fall when they had Miss Kellien with them and also enjoyed hearing from Mrs. Dykstra of Arabia and Miss Nellie Z w e m e r of China. Miss Phoebe Meengs, Cedar Grove, Wisconsin, has been appointed Classical Representative for the Classis of Wisconsin within the year., Miss W o r m h o u d t sends a fine financial report for the Sy n o d of Iowa. This report is only for four of the Classes but w e have no doubt the other three have done well though they failed to report. A n event wor thy of note w a s a Conference for the girls’ societies in Sioux Co u n t y held in O r a n g e City, Iowa* at the invitation of the y o u n g w o m e n of the American Reformed Church. A dinner preceded the conference and the presentation of a missionary play at the close helped to m a k e it a red letter day for all concerned and they have de­ cided to m a k e it an annual event. T h e Classical appointments in this Sy n o d w e r e : Mrs. George DeRuyter, Sioux Center, la., for Classis of W e s t Sioux. Miss M a e DeBeer, Stout, la., for Classis of Pleasant Prairie. A large n u m b e r of girls from N e w Y o r k and Brooklyn at­ tended a Denominational Supper which preceded a mass meeting for young w o m e n addressed by Miss Slattery. Miss V a n Brunt presided at the Supper and introduced Mrs. Bus­ sing, Miss Edna Beekman and Mrs. H. J. Scudder1 wh o each had a brief message for the girls. The Young W o m e n ’s Department in the Mission Field has been kept up including the programs prepared by the girls based on the book “Comrades in Service” by Burton follow­ ing the general topic “T h e y T o o k It U p o n Themselves.” In the fall a letter w a s received from Miss Hospers which seemed too good to keep to ourselves. It w a s recast into a leaflet and has received as w a r m a we l c o m e as w e anticipated. A n article in the Wellesley Alumnae Quarterly by Miss Charlotte Wyckoff was condensed by Miss Davis and pub­ lished as a leaflet, “Teaching Hi g h School in India.” It ma k e s the school and the students very real to us. W e would also mention a short play, “All One,” by Miss Marion Benedict which though written in the interest of General Christian Service is worthy of a place in this report, as she was one of us when the work was undertaken. A s there is n o separate report w e will also mention the publications gotten out by the United Committee. T he se were “Plans for 1921 to 1922” which w a s prepared b y Miss Davis • and issued early in the fall, also the Spring Me s s a g e which wa s prepared by Miss Hawley and Miss Boyer. This has been sent to the societies and also to the college girls, as particular stress w a s laid on the w o r k of the colleges for which w e have al- Report of Young W o m e n ’s Foreign Committee w a y s asked their interest and their contributions. “Helpful Hints on General Christian Service,” com p o s e d b y Mrs. V a n Westenburg: and Miss V e n n e m a in the form of an acrostic, is just off the press and the Northfield flier has been sent out to societies and individuals. r? j u * :o W e are very glad that our w e e k of C a m p Eendracht is again in the hands of Mrs. H. J. Scudder with Mrs. V a n We s t ­ enburg as assistant. W e trust Miss W y c k o f f will surely be able to accept the invitation to be C a m p Guest. Ine dis­ appointment of not having Miss V a n Doren last year was somewhat blunted by the joy of having Miss Bruce, whose happy-face and cheery voice made one feel that going to China in Christ's service w a s just the best sort of a good time a girl could have. N o one could look unmoved on the “From Amoy, T o A m o y ” girls as Bessie Bruce and K i m Ki Y a p a third generation Christian, stood with clasped hands at the Denominational Rally. D e a r Miss Kellien in her Quiet w a y crept into so m a n y hearts that there w a s general rejoicing w h e n her salary w a s added to our budget.

For the first time in some years the young w o m e n s con­ tributions have not been sufficient to meet our budget and have had to be supplemented by the general fund of the Board.

M a b e l B. L ittell, Chairman. REPORT OF THE SEWING GUILD It is with great pleasure that the S e w i n g Guild presents its twenty-sixth annual report. It has indeed been a year of h ap py service and blessed privilege. A n d w e unite with one of our faithful h o m e societies in their prayer that the dear Heavenly Father will add His blessing to our w o r k — to our gifts, and that they m a y assist in winning souls to Christ. . Last year as soon as the boxes were packed letters began pouring in, asking for information concerning the work for another year, and they are still pouring in. W e are glad to receive the letters that c o m e to us, glad of the great interest shown in so many ways— by young and old. W h e n we read the expressions of appreciation from the missionaries w e are compensated for our labor, and w e cannot fail to realize h o w essential the work of the Sewing Guild has become. There is no m o r e blessed privilege than that of service and w e are glad to serve. Contributions have come not only from our o w n Reformed Churches, but w e have gladly and gratefully acknowledged contributions from a Presbyterian Chu rch in N e w Jersey, a Baptist Church in Massachusetts, a Congregationalist Church in Connecticut, and from a Y o u n g W o m e n ' s Society in Rose- mont, Pennsylvania. W e will first listen to the stories the h o m e folk have to tell. Such cheering notes as these were numerous. “Another year our society has completed its w o r k for the S e w i n g Guild. W e were so happy in doing it, and sorry w e could not do more: such as w e have w e give in our Master's name and for His sake, and this has been the spirit in which the gifts have been given. O u r society did the w o r k with the loving thought of the w o m e n and children in the far off countries to w h o m the things go. This is G o d ’s w o r k and w e love to do it.” Another writes, “I a m sending a small box for children in India. It seems such a little bit, but w e believe that every bit counts. W i t h these articles go our prayers for the dear children in far-away India.” “This is m y first year as chairman,” writes another, “and I have enjoyed the work so much. It has been a pleasure to get the garments ready to send, and I hope the articles will prove satisfactory.” T h e President of a mission band called “B u s y Bees” writes of her society: “There are only a few of us, all very y o u n g and without incomes of their own. You will excuse them this time if no freight charges a c c o m p a n y their gifts. O u r dues of a p en ny a w e e k were not sufficient to purchase m a ­ terial, so a good friend advanced the m o n e y for * that. A candy sale paid the debt, and left something in their treasury.” It w ou ld have done your hearts good to see the beautiful fully equipped work-bags m a d e b y these girls. Age, as well as youth, finds something to do in this department of mis­ sionary work. In taking, u p s o m e beautifully m a d e w a s h ­ cloths and wristlets, w e found pinned to the wristlets a w e e slip of paper on which w a s written, “M a d e by four old ladies over 90 years old.” M a n y letters tell of increased interest in the work. F r o m the children in the Junior Christian Endeavor Societies, the S u n d a y Schools, Y o u n g W o m e n ’s Church Leagues for Service, Mission Bands, and the W o m e n ' s Socie­ ties comes the one testimony of joy in the service done in our Master's name. As much of our work is done for the children in the foreign fields, it is not strange that the little ones at h o m e b e c o m e interested as they watch the dressing of dolls and gathering together of picture cards. O n e leader writes, “Telling the story of the little br o w n babies in India touched the heart of one child, and she sent her ‘bestest' doll.” O n e primary class sent its first gift to foreign missions through the Guild— one hundred and twenty-seven bars of soap. This class had a soap shower. Another writes of a lead pencil shower, for which each child w a s asked to con­ tribute one or two pencils. They were so happy in doing it. F r o m one of the Y o u n g W o m e n ’s Societies c a m e thirty- five outing slips for H i n d u kiddies with this note pinned to them: “W e trust the youngsters m a y find as much pleasure in the wearing, as did the young w o m e n in the making.” W e wish w e might print every w o r d of appreciation which c om es from our missionaries, but a few extracts only can be given. W h e n w e read of the comfort these gifts carry to the sick and afflicted, and to the dear children, w h o are so close to the heart of the Master, and of the happiness they give the missionaries, h o w light our task seems! W h a t ap­ preciation is expressed in the following paragraphs: “H a v e you any idea what a happy missionary I a m with the generous contents of the boxes received a few days ago ready to be dispensed in time of need? I was so glad to see them, for m y stock of some of the garments was very low, and the jackets were all used up, so the arrival of the ne w supply w a s a great comfort. Everything is just right. D o thank the societies that sent such a fine supply of sheets, towels, etc. They were so much needed.” F r o m one of the hospitals in India co m e s this appreciative acknowledgment: “The boxes were so generous and it was such a pleasure to receive them. I wish I could only begin to tell you h o w our hearts were m a d e glad at sight of the quantities of nice n e w bed linen and towels; the gauze, soap, cotton bandages, hot water bottles, safety pins, ba b y slips, and blankets— all so sorely needed and so welcome. W e were delighted with everything. Y o u cannot k n o w h o w m u c h it m e a n s to us to have shelves that empty, oh so quickly, filled u p again b y boxes from home. T h e sheets are just fine, just w h a t w e wanted, and so nice and large and strong. T h e y m e a n a lot to us as w e have long been in need of just such sheets. T h e quilts are very nice, too.” Another writes, “A Sewing Guild box is always a fasci- G4 Woman's Board of Foreign Missions nating pleasure to us, and it is hard to express the a m o u n t of good and joy it gives to others, and the great help it gives to us. I never had a better box. Everything arrived^ in splendid condition, not even a scratch on one of the dolls.” From one of our schools in India: “Thanks so much for the lovely Sewing Guild boxes! As usual they were a joy to unpack, and are such a help. W e are trying to get the parents to do more and more each year toward providing their children's clothes, and they are improving, but they are so poor, and most of the children haven’t enough clothes to keep decent. S o it is a great joy to get the boxes and to be able to help th e m out. T h e n w e have a family of orphans big and small, w h o stay at school all the time, and whose entire outfit co m e s from the boxes. T h e remnants and pieces of cloth were very useful for their Christmas clothes, and w e m a d e Mo t h e r H u b b a r d dresses for the little ones out of m o r e remnants. T h e books and toys and other supplies we r e also very gladly welcomed. It is a happy day when the boxes arrive. T h e children had been looking ‘raggeder and rag- geder’ and they had not sufficient clothes to change m o r e than once a week, and they did look dreadful. T h e very day the boxes were unpacked I gave out the clothes. The 124 petticoats soon vanished a m o n g the 175 girls, and it wa s a joy to see th e m look clean and neat again. T h e nightgowns were at once given to the twenty youngest, w h o live separately with a special matron and s o m e older sisters to look after them. I wish all could see them when they are in their nightgowns at night kneeling against the wall saying their prayers. It is lovely to have th e m get the habit of changing at night, a habit which few Indians have. W e are very anxious to get m o r e nightgrowns so that the other children can have them, too. What would w e do without the help of the'Sewing Guild! It is a great blessing to us. M a n y thanks to the givers.” This very touching appeal comes to us from one of the hospitals in India: “Just n o w a missionary c a m e in to bring a patient. As she stepped into the w o m e n ’s ward she ex­ claimed, ‘Wh y , I did not k n o w y o u kept m e n patients in here!’ W e did not, of course, but she s a w a w o m a n w h o c a m e to us in rags and wh o s e filthy attire had been changed for an old sheet and a m a n ’s shirt which w a s given m e by one of the English residents. I need scarcely say in this conection that w e do take care of a considerable n u m b e r of w o m e n patients here. W e have accommodation for about twenty in the hospital, and treat a good n u m b e r as outpatients besides. I find it very hard to see the patients without petticoats, jackets, or sheets, and, we do need hospital supplies so much. W e shall be ever so grateful for anything yo u m a y send.” A letter from a nurse in India reads : “T w o weeks ago w e received the b o x from the S e w i n g Guild for the hospital. All w e can say is that it w a s just grand. Nothing had suf­ fered any d a m a g e in the long journey. It w a s packed in a perfect way. Our whole staff is happy, and w e start our work with ne w cheer which the Lord brought to us through the S e w i n g Guild.” O n e missionary writes, “W h i l e I w a s a patient at the hospital, t w o tiny ba b y girls were brought in b y a Bible woman for m e to admire. A new mother in this land has previously prepared not even ‘a rabbit skin to w r a p the baby in/ so the small garments sent by the Sewing Guild are most acceptable to the nurse. These two wee things in their pretty pink checked dresses were like dolls, for they also had a further attraction, a heavy shock of glossy black hair.” F r o m a school in China this w o r d comes: “This Christmas I distributed to the children in the kindergarten and pupils in school; the teachers and matron also each had a gift, and all were happy and send their thanks to the kind friends w h o remembered them. Of course every girl, small or large, wanted a doll, but as there were m a n y girls and few dolls I could give only to the kindergarten little girls and the pupils ' in the school who were under ten years of age. I think nearly every girl in the school wished she ca m e within the age limit.” Another writes: “N o w that prices are going d o w n m y hopes are going up, and I feel that w e m a y expect s o m e dolls. I don’t know whether or not the box on the way contains any of those precious articles, but even if it does, I a m begging for m o r e in the next one. T h e Chinese fathers and mothers and grandfathers and grandmothers as well, get quite excited over the dolls, though of course w e never have any to present to the big folks because w e have too m a n y little folks in the school w h o long to o w n one of the wonderful Ame rica n dolls. It is great fun to distribute the Guild box articles to the girls and w o m e n at the end of the term, and I hope those who prepare them have as much enjoyment in their part of the w o r k as w e have in presenting them. It is a real delight to watch the b e a m i n g faces and sparkling eyes as they receive their gifts, and to hear their polite TCo-niu, to-sia’ ( T h a n k you). Nothing gives so m u c h delight, I think, as the dolls. T h e Chinese, too, love the pretty picture cards, and m e n and w o m e n w a n t t h e m as m u c h as the children. T h e gay wristlets and pretty mufflers m a k e such pleasing gifts.” “If boxes should arrive about the same time next year they w o u l d be just in nice time for us to receive a few things for Christmas for the hospital,” writes another. “W e like to have a tree and always have an orange and a cookie or two for everybody. Last year since there w a s nothing from h o m e for the tree w e decided to give all the coolies and nurses 66 IVoman's Board of Foreign Missions

and workers in the hospital just a little money, done u p in red paper, but they k n e w that there had been n o b o x from the outside country, and they k n e w w e were personally doing this, so they got together and went out and spent nearly all the small change w e had given t h e m in buying a present for us; so w e decided that w a s not m u c h use. B u t if yo u could send with the hospital supplies handkerchiefs, highly colored or scented soaps, scissors, wristlets, fancy boxes from the five and ten cent store, anything that could be used in m a k i n g a ha p p y Christmas for everybody, it wo u l d surely be splendid, and help us so much. Blessings on dear old M o t h e r Se w i n g Guild! W h a t would w e do without her?” F r o m Arabia w e receive this appreciative message: “W e T h a n k Y o u ! Such a simple message, but the steamers w ou ld be sunken, were the weight of "appreciation and love loaded upon them. Last week I had the pleasure of opening the b o x of your lovely supplies for us. Believe m e w e are so very grateful for everything contained therein. N e v e r a m I unaware of you all and your thoughtfulness and work whe n 1 I step into the store-room for something I a m needing badly, and find it all there for us. N ev er have I appreciated the w o r k of the Se w i n g Guild as m u c h as now.” Another grateful friend w r i t e s “The boxes arrived in splendid condition, and let m e tell you h o w m u c h I appreci­ ated the things of this year’s box. It has m a d e a glad Christ­ m a s for many, and each year there are mo r e calls for just such gifts as the Guild boxes contain. It seems so nice to have those lovely, woolly gowns for the winter— they will keep the women warm and comfortable. W e thank you too for the lovely flannel baby-slips and baby-blankets.” F r o m a hospital in Arabia w e hear that the boxes arrived and were gratefully received. “W e thank all for the m a n y articles so useful to us in our work,— the linen bandages, soap, the piece of outing flannel, gauze, etc. It contained just wh a t w e needed most.” F r o m two of the schools, w e hear the story of the dolls. “A s there were not eno ugh dolls to go around in either school, w e are using these w e have as rewards for bringing in n e w pupils, and for good attendance. T h e girls are so hap py w h e n they get t h e m ! O n e little girl w h o brought in t w o n e w girls last week and was given a doll said she was going to try hard to bring in another girl so she could earn a doll to send to her cousin. Nothing pleases the girls as m u c h as dolls. T h e days of dolls are short for a little Ar a b girl, but O ! h o w she loves t h e m ! W e always wish there were heaps and heaps of them. Sometimes w e have to hide at Christmas those w e have, for there are fifty children, and only, say, ten dolls! No, the Ar a b child is no m o r e unselfish than the American wou ld be under such circumstances. Dolls, dolls, mo r e dolls!” T h e same cry comes from all our mission stations— so few dolls, children so many. “Just a line to thank the friends w h o sent the picture rolls and packages of cards," wrote a missionary from Japan. “T h e picture rolls are always welcome. T h e cards have been a great comfort, and the children like t h e m so much. S o m e of the cards w e give as Christmas presents and prizes." Let us enter into the n e w year of service with increased faith. Let us have faith in each other and faith in G o d : such faith as will burn its w a y through any darkness, and m a k e our hearts ready and our feet swift for the service of our King. “T h e weary ones had rest, the sad had joy One day; I wondered how. A ploughman, singing at his work, had prayed, ‘Lord, help them now/

“A w a y in foreign lands, they won d e r e d h o w Their single w o r d had power. A t h o m e — the Christians, tw o or three had met T o pray an hour.

“Yes, w e are always wondering, wondering how, Because w e do not see Someone, unknown, perhaps, and far away, O n bended knee."

Five hundred new names have been recorded: but through the generosity of ma n y societies the amount received and paid to the Treasurer of the W o m a n ’s Board of Foreign Missions has been $681.67. At the holiday season an appropriate Christmas card was mailed to each child w h o had become a member during the year. O n e hundred and t w o Churches are n o w represented, and it is hoped that m a n y m o r e will be added as a result of the appeal sent out sinco the first of the year, that the little ones in our homes to w h o m '‘Our Father has given so much of love and joy” m a y be early taught of "the other children far away,” "those dear b r o w n babies of the sun,” and to pray, " O u r Father bless us all to-night.”

' C a r o l i n e R a v e n M a c l e a n , Secretary. REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON LIFE AND MEMORIAL MEMBERSHIPS The Committee on Life and Memorial Memberships have endeavored to bring a n e w these forms of service to the at­ tention of the Auxiliaries, through the Classical Committees at the Conferences and through literature to the Secretaries. W e believe a great po w e r has been released for the comfort and guidance of our missionaries through their “Praying Mates/’ and w e are confident that each Life M e m b e r has n o w a feeling of real participation in Boa rd w o r k with a responsi­ bility for a certain portion of missionary activity. T h e am o u n t received this year from Life Mem ber s h i p s will, as ever, bear large dividends, for it has been devoted to wo r k in the school at Amoy, China, which is under supervision of Miss Lily Duryee and Miss Mollie Talmage. Forty-seven new names have been enrolled. While our Memorial Membership Roll is a comparatively n e w thing, it is being recognized as a long felt need— a plan b y which for a small or larger a m o u n t ($50 or over) the m e m o r y of a dear relative, friend or a faithful worker, w h o has passed to the “Life Triumphant,” m a y be perpetuated, not only in h u m a n hearts, but in h u m a n lives, for the gifts are being used for medical work in China. The Memorial M e m ­ bership Roll is open, not only to mem bers of W o m e n ’s Auxili­ aries, but to any one, in any church, w h o m a y desire to serve in this way, and the Committee hopefully recommends these opportunities to your consideration.

A d a l i n e W . St i l l w e l l , Chairman. The Forty-eighth Anniversary

Rejoicing in the brilliant sunshine and blue sky of a perfect spring day, a large n u m b e r of friends that filled the audi- toriuiri of the Second Reformed Church, N e w Brunswick, met to celebrate the forty-eighth anniversary of the W o m a n ’s Board of Foreign Missions on Tuesday, M a y 16th, 1922. Ibe opening devotional service was led by the pastor of the church. Dr. Louis tj. Holden, w h o also gave the audience and Board a war m welcome to the Second Church and to a c o m m u n i t y which has the interests of the denomination very m u c h at heart. Mrs. DeWitt Knox, President of the Board, responded and then called attention to the growth of the work, under the care of the Board, contrasting the report of its first year, 1875, with that of the year just closed. Although there has been great progress, both in the mission w o r k and in the countries of the Orient, several similarities were noted, such as the need for mo r e Christian teachers in India and for n e w buildings at Ferris Seminary. N o w every force mu s t be mobilized that the sovereignty of Christ be acknowledged, for this is the only w a y to hear His 'Peace be still’ over the troubled waters of the world. T h e Board is gratified to announce that one of the Mission Study text books for the year, "Lighted to Lighten,” has been written by Miss Alice B. V a n Doren. Indeed, as the Presi­ dent stated, the important persons connected with the Board’s activities are its missionaries, and it wa s a privilege to have several present, bearing greetings and messages. Mrs. Walter T. Scudder, Arcot Mission, called for American womanhood to stand to the last w o m a n in the support of Christianity against Hinduism. Mrs. Steward Day, A m o y Mission, des­ cribed the w o m e n of China as the greatest undeveloped re­ source of the country, to w h o m the truth and the chance for a complete life should be given. Miss E d n a K. Bee kman , A m o y Mission, w h o has visited scores of churches during her fur­ lough, said that she wa s returning with deeper inspiration for her work because of her enlarged acquaintance in the home church. Miss Jennie Scardefield, Arabian Mission, brought a message from the group of w o m e n in Kuweit, who gathered to bid her farewell. It w a s with great pleasure that the eastern section of the Reformed Church welcomed Miss Nellie Zwemer of the A m o y Mission, w h o has given over thirty years of service there. She reminded us of our Lord’s compassion when H e saw the mul­ titudes, and asked us to think of multitudes whe n w e think of China, whe re there is but one missionary for 80,000 of the population. There are m a n y untilled acres in the A m o y field, which is solely the responsibility of the Ref o r m e d C h u r c h ; one thousand girls are in our schools, but one million in the district; not more than one in one thousand homes whose doors wou ld gladly be opened, can be entered; dozens of vil­ lages m u s t be passed by because of lack of time and strength — “W h a t can one w o m a n do among 80,000?” Referring to the response in America to war and Red Cross work, Miss Z w e ­ m e r asked the pertinent question, “D o w e m e a n it w h e n w e sing ‘I love T h y Kingdom, Lord?’ ” W h i l e singing the hy m n that followed, “A Charge to Ke e p I Have,” s o m e of the lines had a n e w meaning: “T o serve the present age, M y calling to fulfill; O, m a y it all m y powers engage T o do m y Master’s will.”

Mrs. Stanley G. Mylrea of the Arabian Mission, gave a vivid picture of that barren land wh o s e bac kwar d people need light, wh o s e veiled w o m e n need Christ. T o help th e m a mo r e adequate system of supply and relief is necessary. A s in pearl fishing there must be the diver and the m a n on the boat hold­ ing the diver’s rope, so in mission work, those at the h o m e base w h o hold the ropes mu s t not forget the divers out on the field. N o t all the hardship is me t by the diver; w h e n the m a n on the boat pulls in the we t rope it takes the skin off his hands — “Have w e ever lost any skin from our hands in missionary w o r k ? ” T h e report of the Treasurer, the record of h o w w e have been “holding the ropes,” w a s listened to with m u c h interest. T h e total fell short of that of the previous year, but, with deep gratitude to G o d and with thanks to the w o m e n and girls of the church, it is a joy to be able to state that all obli­ gations have been m e t from the receipts of $165,712.75. Mrs. H e n r y J. Scudder, Secretary for India, appealing for a generous offering for the teachers’ bun g a l o w for the Girls’ High School at Chittoor, spoke of the great value of such a Christian h o m e which will be an ideal, an example to girls of the Arcot Mission for years to come. Miss Katherine V a n Nest asked1 a blessing on the offering and on the house to be built. A unique feature of the day’s p r o gram w a s the playing of selections of the music of India on the harmonium and the sitar, and the singing of Indian, hy m n s and songs b y Mrs. B. P. Hivale of Bombay, now studying Domestic Science at Sim mons College. Explanations of the instruments and selec­ tions were ma d e by Mr. Hivale. Amo ng the announcements read by Miss Eliza P. Cobb were the names of the officers of the Board for the coming year, and the changes in the m e m bers hip of the Board. It is with deep sorrow that w e record the death of Mrs. Isaac W . G o w e n , w h o wa s a m e m b e r of the Board for twenty-five years, ^ Fortv-Eighth Anniversary ‘3 and of t w o H o n o r a r y Vice-presidents, Miss Ka t e Frelinghuy- sen and Mrs. George S. Bishop. . After a prayer and benediction by Dr. W m . I. Chamberlain, the meeting adjourned to the chapel to partake of the luncheon prepared by the generous w o m e n of the church, whose hos­ pitality w a s greatly appreciated. T h e triumphant hy m n “Jesus Shall Reign” opened the after­ noon session, and all united in the prayer offered by Rev. Jas­ per S. Hog an, D. D. ^ * t» w Miss O. H. Lawrence, of the Com mitt ee o n Resolutions, gave a hearty vote of thanks to the minister and consistory of the Second Reformed Church w h o had extended the invi­ tation to the W o m a n ' s Board to hold its anniversary there, to the organists, to the soloists w h o had given so m u c h pleasure, and to all whose hands had ministered to the assembled guests. ’ t» i_ The Young W o m a n ’s Work was presented by Miss Ruth Hawley, w h o contrasted the blessings surrounding the Am e r i ­ can girl of to-day with the condition of her sisters in the Ori­ ent. A n e w Japan, a n e w China, a n e w India, a n e w Arabia present opportunities for service to the favored girls of the R e f o r m e d Church, to w h o m special missionaries, schools, and medical w o r k in these countries have been allotted as their responsibilities. A n address by Prof. Bhaskar Pa n d u r a n g Hivale, of Bo m b a y , on the W o m e n of India was listened to with keen sympathy. H e spoke of tw o phases of life, the evils of the old system still in vogue, and the recent rapid changes. A nation is as great as its women, and there is little hope for a land where the mothers are degraded and superstitious. A gradual leaven has been working through India since the first American mission­ aries went there with the Gospel. The w o m e n of India are quite as clever as the m e n w h e n given a chance, and have the ability for hard work, they are conservative and very religious. T h e Christian religion and devoutness brings forth beautiful fruit. T h o s e w h o receive it have a song in their hearts. For the closing address we we r e favored in having Dr. Lewis R. Scudder, well k n o w n and loved in this land, as in India. In order to explain the missionaries' cry of “More, more,” Dr. Scudder sh o w e d a chart comparing statistics of the Arcot Mi s ­ sion with an average Classis at home. N o better met hod could have been employed to emphasize the magnitude of the task that the Reformed Church has put upon the shoulders of its forty-seven missionaries in India, where, in one year 2215 converts were received, 11,300 pupils w e r e enrolled in the schools and there w a s an attendance of 92,900 in the hos­ pitals and dispensaries. T h e burden on the missionaries is very heavy— to carry the enterprise through efficiently, with or without funds, and to train leaders. Dr. Scudder m a d e a strong plea that they be given a chance to do the w o r k they had been sent out to do. With a benediction pronounced by Dr. Hogan the anniver­ sary w a s brought to a close. T h e fact has been m a d e plain that “there remaineth yet very m u c h land to be possessed,” but, through the inspiration received courage will surely be given to say with that ancient Israelite, “Let us go up at once and possess it; for w e are well able to overcome it.”
