ANNUAL REPORT FOR I9 U 0. Strict economy forbids us to publish more than a bare record of outstanding events during I9ifO, and for the same reason added to the difficulty of getting mails to England we are not publishing any lists of money given in England. No lists of helpers nor of the most welcome gifts in kind are given, but our gratitude to each helper is very real0 Thanks to the kind offer of one of our Committee members, this Report has been produced free, and we know that everyone will approve the change of makeup, which frees so much money for the work. I should like to use all the space in trying to thank people for their wonderful generosity and faithfulness. When we receive £lU from B ristol, £U from Coventry, the promise of £100 from Portsmouth, and many more like them v?e feel humbled and quickened to an ever deeper longing to use the money worthily. We are bound to lose large sums which used to come from England and for that reason and because it is right to support one’ s own concerns, we appeal with confidence to South Africa to fill the short fall which must inevitably occur, and let the work go forward. Thanks to the prayerss money and service of our wonderful friends some very lovely things happened in 19U-Q, which we can only list The Church of Christ the K i m . Sophiatown was enlarged and beautified by the addition of the Chapels of All Souls and S. Mary Magdalene given (for the most part) in memory of my motheij Elisabeth Diana Maud. Sister Margaret finished three beautiful frescoes over the Se'i.etuary. S.Elisabeth*s Nursery School,New Clare was opened and under the special care of Charlotte Moor Allen, has taken in her fu ll complement of 100 children. We have started a new Sunday School here for over 100 very wild and dear children who live round about, out of which UO are being prepared for Confirmation now. The Nursery Schools in Sophiatown, and Orlando. are both entirely full, supplemented by new Classrooms - S. Christopher and S, Anna - holding 80 more children. Doreen Chaplin and Esther Hopkinson are now training 30 African ' women as Nursery School Teachers with full certificates and cannot keep up with the demand for such trained teachers. Other Schools. We hope to start our Uth Nursery School in Pimville very soon. The Junior School in Sophiatown can now take in 600 children in a completed school; and the Education Author­ ities have committed to Father Paynes’ care the building of two Secondary Schools for the SVfhiatown and Orlando districts. In Orlando the work has grorai and deepened most wonderfully in spite of endless difficulties. S. Mary’ s Church has been greatly improved and beautified, and is fu ll to the doors Sunday by Sunday. The Schools are all overflowing; and steady constructive teaching goes on through Sunday Schools, Classes, Clubs and Wayfarer-Guides both here and in Sophiatown. Many are the disappointments and set­ backs, but the African is hungry in body, mind and soul, and with the power of sympathy and prayer to set free GOD s glorious supplies, nothing can be impossible, and we can work on in faith for a future where CHRIST*s spirit will p'revail.
