AT THE
ANNUAL MEETING
BRITISH AND FOREIGN BIBLE SOCIETY, NORTH INDIA AUXILIARY.
Allahabad , March 28 th 1911.
The Annual Meeting of the North India Auxiliary of the British and Foreign Bible Society was held, pursuant to due notice, at the Bible and Tract Depot, Allahabad, on Tuesday, March 28th, 1911 at 5-30 p.m.
In the unavoidable absence of the Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of Lucknow, the chair was taken by Major General J. L. Keir, C. B., Vice-President.
After the singing of a hymn, the Rev. J. Johnstone Wright, Chaplain Church of Scotland, read a passage from the Holy Scriptures and offered prayer.
The Annual Report for the year 1910 was presented by the Secretary, Rev. T. S. Wynkoop.
The meeting was addressed by Mr. R. K. Sorabji, who called attention to the world-wide celebration of the Tercentenary of the Authorised English Bible of 1611, and urged an increasing regard for the Bible as the Word of God, and increasing effort to carry that Word in its many versions to men of every race and speech.
The following Resolution was moved by E. W. Crump, Esqr., seconded by the Rev. J. N. Carpenter, and adopted by the meeting. —
“That the Annual Report and statement of accounts be accepted, and issued under the direction of the Committee.”
The Secretary read a list of Officers and Committee as nominated at a meeting of the Committee on March 27th, and on motion they were elected to serve during the ensuing year as printed on following page.

(North India Auxiliary.)
Sixty=Fifth
ANNUAL REPORT
f OF^THE y EA^
1910.
One of the latest writers on Japan has said “The Bible is the most widely distributed and the most seriously and intelligently studied religious book in the Japanese Empire.”
This is undoubtedly true of India. The issues of the British and Foreign Bible Society for 1909 numbered 618,614. During the last ten years alone, the circulation has been at least 6 million copies, in 60 Indian languages. These have been carried to every part of India. They have been circulated in the villages as well as in the cities. They have been placed in hundreds of religious houses. They have been gladly received by thousands of recent graduates of all the Indian Universities. Evidences multiply, every year, of the influence of these books on educated Indians, quite apart from contact with any Christian mission. In unnumbered Indian villages and
( 2 )
hamlets the people know at least something of our Lord Jesus Christ and his saving grace.
In this great work the North India Auxiliary has taken its part. During the last ten years, it has put into circulation 1,595,059 copies of the Scriptures, of which 43,211 were complete Bibles, 81,895 New Testaments and 1,469,954 Portions, chiefly Gospels. During the year under review, the total circulation was 197,382, of which 4,786 were Bibles, 9,698 Testaments and 182,895 Portions. This is an advance over the previous year of 44,487 copies. Of the year’s total, 148,681 were circulated within our own field of distribution, and 48,701 were sent abroad, in part to other Indian Auxiliaries, chiefly Calcutta and Lahore, and in part to the Home Society in London, from whose depot they would be sent to many lands as required for the use of Indian settlers and labourers in South America, the West Indies, Africa and the Islands of Oceania.

The following table will show the means of circulation of which nearly 40 per cent is due to colportage, an advance of 6,000 copies over the previous year. Depot sales have increased by more than 16,000. Grants of scriptures have increased from 196 to 902, chiefly the distribution of Scriptures to graduates of the Allahabad University, and students matriculated during the year,

Scriptures published in 19 10.
Of the new editions issued by our Auxiliary during the year, the most important was the printing of 5,000 copies of the Hindi New Testament in large type, demy 8vo. As the types of this edition were set up, paper moulds were taken of each page, which were afterwards sent to London to be electroplated. The plates when re- turned will much cheapen the production of later editions.

Additions to Stock in 19 10.
If in the following table, showing all additions to stock during the year, a discrepancy should be noted between the number of books printed as just given, it should be noted that it does not always happen that the publications of a year are received into stock in the same year. Of the Hindi Bible, 5,000 copies were printed in 1909, of which 1,018 were received into stock in that year, 1,623 in 1910 and the remainder of the edition will be delivered in 191 1. The 1,000 Roman Urdu Portions were the remaining sheets, freshly bound, of an edition of the Psalms printed from plates of the Roman Urdu Bible in 1904. The advantage of leaving sheets unbound until required, is that we always have a stock fresh from the binder, and not deteriorated by long standing on our shelves.
The Tehri Gospel, though printed in 1910 and entered in this year’s new publications, was not actually placed on the shelves of the Depot until after the year had closed.
It will be noted how largely we have drawn during the year on the Bible Society’s Auxiliaries, viz. 47,738 copies, chiefly the Punjab Auxiliary for Scriptures needed in lang- uages other than the Hindi, and also on the Home Society in London for English and other Scriptures— 1 5,483 copies.
It is owing to the large excess of our issues over those of 1909 that our additions to stock were little more than sufficient to supply the actual need, leaving a balance of only t 2,201 volumes to carry over into 1911. This will of course require large editions to be newly printed and large indents to be made on the Parent Society and other Auxiliaries for the coming year.

Roman Urdu Reference New Testament.
Special mention must be made of a great and warmly appreciated benefit conferred on the Urdu speaking chur- ches, in the publication by the British and Foreign Bible Society of the Roman Urdu New Testament with marginal references. It is beautifully printed by the well-known Cambridge University Press. By kind permission of the University Presses, the Bible Society has adapted for our use the references prepared for the English Revised Version. A large Reference Bible in Roman Urdu was issued by the
( 8 )
Bible Society in the year i860, but has long been out of print The present edition of the New Testament is a first instal- ment of the complete Reference Bible which is being printed in England. We may hope it will be available in another
year.
Receipts and Expenditure.
The Abstract of Cash Account for 1910, duly certified by the auditor, appears as Appendix A. of this Report. It shows receipts of Rs. 36,734-1 1-5, including opening balance of Rs. 1,407-7-2.

Bills drawn on London ... „ 22,246 8 7
The Expenditure was Rs. 34,682-4-9, leaving a closing balance of Rs. 2,052-6-8.
The main heads of Expenditure were. : —

Colportage.
The reports of the sale of Scriptures by our Colporteurs have been both an encouragement and a disappointment.
( 9 )
The experience of many years in India, as in China, Japan and other Eastern Countries, and indeed in countries nom- inally Christian, has shown how necessary Colportage is to a wide circulation of the Word of God.
After a succession of years in North India where the work of our Colporteurs had been much hindered by famine, plague and other local conditions, it was hoped that in 1910 we might look for a considerable expansion of this branch of service.
We are glad to report that, during the year, our Colport- age sales increased from 59,252 in 1909 to 7 0,710 in 1910. It is still more gratifying to observe that while in 1909 only three Colporteurs reported sales of over 2,000 copies, there were eight in 1910 who exceeded this total. Not one of these eight was stationed in a large city : all gained their success among the smaller towns and villages. Perhaps their most favourable opportunity is afforded by the Melas, where many copies of the Gospels are sold, and are carried to many a village and hamlet where a Christian evangelist is never seen.
At some Railway stations, especially at Railway junc- tions, there are ample opportunities. But among travel- lers by rail there are some who resent the selling of the Scriptures, abusing the Colporteur, dissuading their fellow passengers from purchasing, sometimes even destroying the books he carries. On the other hand, many travellers are glad to purchase, and are ready to defend the Colpor- teur when abused.
The disappointment of the year has been in failing to secure and retain the full number of Colporteurs whom we were prepared to employ.
It will be seen in Appendix D, in which details are given
2
( '0 )
of each Colporteur’s work, that out of the full list of sixty- seven men employed, only forty-three rendered continuous service throughout the year.
The year began with fifty on our staff, and ended with fifty-three. During the course of the year there were seventeen new appointments, most of them experimental and conditioned, for permanent employment on successful work. It must be acknowledged that the service is ar- duous, and often involves considerable hardship in long absences from home among a people not always friendly.
The pay is small, and the family to be supported some- times large. The Colporteur must be a man of courage and of tact, as well as of earnest piety and devotion. It is no wonder that many fail, or become discouraged. All honour to those who persevere and achieve success in spite of difficulty.
Two of the Colporteurs died. Two were employed on special and temporary service. Five resigned to obtain more desirable employment. Three were discontinued as unsatisfactory, and three were dismissed for misconduct. The year closed with a staff of fifty-three in our service, some of them men of long experience, and others newly appointed. It is hoped they may long remain faithful to their vocation, and increasingly successful in it.
Of the two Colporteurs deceased, James William had been recently appointed at the Railway junction of Kashi- pur in the Terai. He seemed keen in his work, and his sudden death is much regretted.
Barlow of Meerut was one of the oldest Colporteurs in our service. He had been in failing health for some time, but loved his work too well to give it up. His Superin- tendent wrote on the 5th March, 1910,
( H )
“It is with the greatest sorrow I inform you that our dear old Colporteur Barlow died on the 2nd inst. He peacefully passed away, trusting in the Lord Jesus Christ, whose holy Word he so lovingly tried to spread. We may say he has died in harness. I had allowed him to go to Dehli in the beginning of last month, hoping that he might recover a little his fast ebbing strength. But even there he did his work. No one could go near him without being invited by him to buy some portion of the Holy Bible.”
Of the new appointments of the year no less than three were converted Sadhus, one in Bikanir, one at Meerut, one near Benares. As these men had been accustomed, for years, to the wandering life of the Hindu Ascetic, and knew well how to appeal to the Indian populace, they seemed exceptionally fitted for the work of the Colporteur. The first of them and the last have given good satisfaction. The third may have been too hastily baptized. He proved a great trial to his Superintendent, and it was necessary to dismiss him from our service.
Of the newly appointed men, five were assigned to sta- tions in the Central Provinces. The results have been disappointing. They all report discouragingly small sales. It may be the village people are less given to reading, it may be there is less religious interest, than in the United Provinces. The question arises whether it is best to con- tinue Colportage where the expense does not seem to be justified by the sales. On the other hand the neecf may be greater in these districts, and by degrees a demand may be created for the books. In former years, sales were very few in the United Provinces, where now we get our best results.
In the month of March, a short Bible tour into Nepal was undertaken by one of our Colporteurs from British
( 12 )
Kumaon. He was accompanied by two men, one of them a Nepalese. They went as far as the Deo Thai Lake, where they visited the Raja. They toured among the villages without any objection being made. Sales were few, but they left everywhere their testimony for their Lord. It is amusing to read that instead of money, they paid their way chiefly by “ Medicines and safety pins.”
While one of our Colporteurs was absent on tour in the winter cold, his house caught fire and on his return he found his worldly possessions all destroyed, and his wife and children saved with difficulty.
Some of our missionary friends are keen on selling Gos- pels, and encourage their Catechists and Preachers to do the same. One Evangelistic Missionary reports the sale of over four thousand Gospels. Another reports, “ Our District sales are better than last year, 96 Bibles, 162 Testaments, 1,649 Portions. This takes up some of the time of our workers, but I have always believed in pushing the sale of the Scriptures as much as possible.”
A number of Missionaries who have our Colporteurs under their superintendence write of baptizing converts whom our men have brought in.
Another of our correspondents describes a Medico Evangelistic van, drawn by bullocks, strong enough for the roughest country roads. It is emblazoned with Scripture texts in Hindi and Urdu. It has two men in charge, one with some knowledge of medicines, and the other a preach- er. It carries an ample supply of Scripture Portions and of tracts, and is sowing the seed of divine truth all over an extensive district.
The reports of the Colporteurs contain many interest- ing incidents, such as the following: —
( *3 )
“In one of the lanes of the city I met a small boy who called me into his house. The women of the house pur- chased copies of all the Gospels, and requested me to ask that a teacher be sent to teach them to read the books. Our missionary ladies went to see them and began zenana work. Now they are reading the Bible with all interest.”
“ The Treasury Officer in charge of the District Treasury sent for me one day to sell him a New Testament in large type. Since then many officials of the Collector’s Kuch- ahri have purchased Scriptures in Arabic and Persian as well as in the vernacular. We have many interesting conversa- tions, and I know that they are reading the books.”
“ I had some conversation with a Brahmin shop-keeper in the city, as a result of which he bought a Hindi Bible. Whenever I am near his shop he helps me sell my books. He says, Your Bible is in truth the Word of God. I am quite ready to be a Christian, but I cannot break with my family and relatives.”
“ Whilst engaged in my work at the Sikari Mela, I was accosted by a Darocja who said to me, “What are you doing here? Do you not know that this is Kali Devi’s Puja?” I said to him, “lam here to bring the Gospel of the Living God.” At this he was very angry, and took me away to go to his tent. As we went, I lifted my heart to God in prayer, “ Heavenly Father, shew me what to do.” At that very instant the Lord sent the answer to my prayer, “ Give to him in his hand the Book of Psalms.” As soon as I placed in his hand the book and he had read the title, his countenance changed. The anger all went out. He bade me go on with my work, and for the three days of my stay in the Mela he gave me of his own food and helped me in every way.”
Of the Colporteurs on our list sixteen are receiving eight rupees, or less, as monthly pay. Only eleven receive more than ten rupees. In view of the increased cost of living in recent years, it has been for some time felt that the rate of pay is too low. Permission has been received from
( 4 )
home for an increase, averaging twelve and a half per cent, which we hope will be a comfort to faithful men, and enable them to make better provision for wife and children when they are away on tour.
We close this account of Colportage with the following ringing notes from one of the latest reports — “ During the past year, we two brethren have given all diligence to bring people to our Lord Christ. Satan has shown his great power, but the Lord has helped us, and the enemy has not triumphed over us. There are many who ac- knowledge that Christ is the only Saviour, and we surely know that victory is with us.”
Bible Women.
The reports received from the Bible Women on our staff show good and faithful work; and, if the tabulated results fall behind what we all wish and hope, especially in the circulation of the Scriptures, we gladly recognize each year an advance in all their lines of work.
This is especially seen in work among the village peo- ple. In a recent tour undertaken by a missionary lady and two Bible Women, the expense of which was borne in part by the Bible Society, thirty-three villages were visited in a month. It was estimated that 1448 women were addressed besides men and children, and ninety-six Gospels were sold. “ We visited many villages where the women had never had a chance of hearing the Gospel be- fore. Many of them received us into their houses, and most of them asked us to come again.”
In another report we read “ Our sisters who work in the villages find great interest in the Word, almost in every place they go to. They have met with several men and women who seem to be real seekers after God.”
( 15 )
There have been forty Bible Women on the staff of the Bible Society, nearly all in continuous service through the year.
They report an average of more than three thousand women to whom they have read the Scriptures each week during the year, a large proportion of whom have been under systematic instruction in Bible Lessons, Hymns and Prayers.
They have been teaching nearly two thousand women to read, of whom they report three hundred and thirty-one clas- sed as now able to read the Bible for themselves. As this work has been going on for many years, the number of Bible readers among Hindu and Mohammedan women must by this time have greatly increased.
They have put into circulation 3,72 1 copies of the Scrip- tures, including Bibles, New Testaments and Gospel Portions, of which 976 were given and 2,227 sold.
Early in the year one of our oldest and best Bible Wo- men, Mrs. M. Joram of Aligarh, resigned. She was trusted and loved by all, and will be greatly missed.
Another Bible Woman, Mrs. Azizan Ambrose of Agra, died in March. She continued her work up to the last day of her life, visiting her zenanas as usual after the Bible Class she attended on the morning of Saturday March 5th. Her pupils speak very warmly of her, and her Lady Su- perintendent feels her loss in the pnission.
An item in a recent report of a mission in one of the districts of the Punjab may be quoted, as showing the possibilities of woman’s work in India on ever widening lines. —
“ Last year our Women’s Anjuman i Basharat undertook the support of a Bible Woman. Her report was listened to with great
( i6 )
interest, especialty as the tour was blessed with over one hundred baptisms.”
In one of the most important cities in our own Provinces our Bible Women have begun to visit the Women’s Bath- ing ghat on the Hindu festivals. They find many women listen to their Bible reading, and a good number of Gospels are sold. In the same city it is proposed that the usual ze- nana visits should be given up on alternate weeks, that the Bible Women may try to get into new houses, knocking at doors throughout the Mohalla, asking admission and permission to give the message. The Deaconess superin- tending their work writes : —
“ I should like in this way, by degrees and in time, to canvass the whole city, as far as possible, thus making an attempt to give the message in very street and house. Of course this new method will make the number of zenana pupils, receiving regular teaching, much less. But a large number of women will have the message, and may God’s Holy Spirit carry home the words.”
“ The Bible Woman of whom you ask a fuller account has worked with me for more than four years in this Native State. She has quite an exceptional gift of selling the Scriptures. She has been a right hand to me, and has helped me with her advice and her insight at more than one critical juncture. Indeed, I have chiefly left to her the teaching in the Hindu houses, and the combatting of the Arya Samaj propogandists among the women.
She is deeply loved by all her pupils, and her power of preaching in the villages has been a great boon to us, where yet in this Native State we seldom get the oppor- tunity of addressing women. It is a great trial to most women to have to speak to men. But with her knowledge of the Ram ay ana, her active mind and active wit, she has been equal to the many unpleasantnesses which have to be encountered by women in District work.
I am much encouraged about the work, and the joyful way people buy Gospels.”
Young Peopled Branch.
Writing this Annual Report grows more and more diffi- cult, for how is it possible to portray with the pen the plodding work, the enthusiastic loyal interest which deep- ens and widens year by year, and which has made 1910 one of exceptional advance and growth. Offerings have poured in with letters such as these : —
Pauri-Garhwal, “Rs. 10 — A three months offering from the Mission Band of our Orphanage.”
La Martiniere G. H. S. Lucknow, “Accept our love and many thanks for the dear little book. We are all in love with the story. We are sending Rs. 1 1-4, and we hope to do better next year.”
Cawnpore. — “Our girls are very enthusiastic over their work for the Bible Society. I am so glad you presented the matter to them, for I think, this is the kind of work which will help them grow spiritually. They are much enjoying the books you sent.”
From three young friends, Philadelphia U. S. A. “We take great pleasure in sending the enclosed draft for $10, which we have saved during the winter. We think of the great work of the Bible Society in our prayers every night.”
From our blind Secretary, S.P.G. Orphanage, Cawnpore, “We are very thankful to you for your letter to me and to the girls. The books and papers you have sent have been read to the girls and they are very pleased. Accor- ding to our classes in our school our Miss Sahiba gives us pice. From these pice we make our offering to the Bible Society.” Rs. 11-6.
Bareilly. — “A thank offering, with much love and prayer for the spread of the Gospel from the Orphanage Auxi- liary.
( 18 )
C. M. S. Orphanage, Sigra, Benares.
“To our dear Memsahiba greetings from all of us girls.
This will inform you that we all are sending, with great pleasure, Rs. 44, which we trust you will accept for the Bible Society.
We have held our meeting every month ; but this year several of the meetings have been taken by other Miss Sahibas.
This year we are 161 girls, and there is also one baby. The story of how we collect our pice is old, but I will give you an account herewith which will give you much pleasure.
One day Miss Willis gave to each of the little girls one pice to buy biscuits to eat. They all brought their pice to me to keep for them until the biscuits should arrive.
Last Sunday the meeting of our Bible Society was held. The little girls came to me, to get their pice. I said, “Why?” They replied, “To put them into the Bible Society Box.” I said, “ The pice are for biscuits.” At once they all said, “ We will put them in the Bible So- ciety Box.” So I gave the pice, and all the little ones gladly put them in the Box.
With great happiness we send this Rs. 44, and we trust that this good work which has been established amongst us may be continued year by year, and that He which hath begun a good work in us will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ.
Yours in the Master’s Service, A. K.
“No one knows better than a missionary, the value of the Bible Society. I am sending Rs. 5, from our Orphan- age Boys and Girls. May the Lalitpur banner be in evi- dence at the meeting to testify for us our gratitude to the British and Foreign Bible Society.”
“Nasirabad Orphanage, Rajputana. — Rs. 20 with the children’s love and prayers.”
“ I am sending from the boys of Oak Grove Rs. 49-6 and what I know will please you most is that practically every boy who has any pocket money at all has con- tributed,”
( 19 )
An old friend who was our Secretary in his College, for several years, writes, “ My annual offering through the Y. P. B. God grant I may never forget how this Bible So- ciety has helped me to see and know the value of a Bible.”
“ I am sending with much pleasure the offering from the Colvin Free School Boys — Every Cadet has given from his volunteer pay.”
From Pau, France. — Our young English friend who left India two years ago, sends with his offering a message of loyal remembrance.
One would like to go through the whole list of offerings and tell the sweet stories of loving labour and self-denial each one illustrates, of the real hold the work has on the hearts of our young people.
One of the most remarkable evidences of this is the offering from the Kellogg Memorial Sunday School on the mountain heights of Landour. A little band of workers, boys and girls, fired with zeal and interest by an enthus- iastic Superintendent, worked from May to October, grow- ing more and more eager as the days and weeks and months went by.
Out of school hours, there were errands to run up and down these long steep hills, flowers and ferns to gather for sale, extra duties in-doors and out, and the conscientious performance of every thing undertaken made many an older heart to rejoice and be glad.
Some of the older girls learned to be busy housewives. Bible Society bread, Bible Society cake, and Bible Society sweets were well in evidence in Landour the summer through.
One lad whose mother has a reputation for delicious cookies, an American cake biscuit, procured the promise of help from the cook and started out gaily one day with a little blank book hoping to get a few orders. The cook was aghast when the lad returned with orders for 50 dozen, and this embyro man of business had asked and received 4 annas (or 4 pence) per dozen in advance ! The 50 dozen, and a few more orders, were carefully filled, the
( 20 )
materials used were entirely paid for ; but the good old Mahommedan cook had become so interested in his young master’s venture that he refused to take any remuneration for his hours of toil.
The long Allahabad list shows how keenly interest is maintained, where in 1906 the Y. P. B. work was first be- gun. Mussoorie and Landour have made for themselves a record.
New Stations, Schools, and Orphanages have been reached, and the offerings have risen to Rs. 780-3-4 or more than £$o.
25,000 copies of the Gospel of St. John in Hindi, were printed for the Y. P. B. by the Bible Society, in 1910.
Cost of printing ... ... ... Rs. 813 13
Gospels put into circulation, 24,506.
Returns from sales about ... ... Rs. 350 o
Total received from Y. P. B. in 14 years
more than ^400, or over . . . Rs. 6,000 o
But let us in thought merge the rupees into the thou- sands of Gospel messengers which have gone out from the Allahabad Bible House, for India and other lands, with the children’s love and the children’s prayers, that we may understand their real offering and the value of the work for themselves and India’s millions scattered far and wide.
The Y. P. B. has been introduced into the other Auxi- liaries— Calcutta, Madras, Bombay, and the Punjab. God grant that a great army of boys and girls, English and Indian Christian may soon be giving a fresh impetus to the work of the British and Foreign Bible Society through the length and breadth of this great Empire.
Annual Meeting, Y. P. B.
The 14th Anniversary of the Y. P. B. was celebrated
( 21 )
on Friday, 24th February, and, like our 12th Anniversary, was held in the lovely grounds of the Chief Justice and Lady Stanley, whose kind invitation was in itself a pro- mise of another happy and successful Annual Meeting.
The Bishop of Lucknow presided and Lady Stanley, as usual, received the offering.
The long line of banners testified to the many Schools, Orphanages, and Colleges from which the offering had come.
Groups of boys and girls in costumes representing Eu- rope, Asia, Africa, and the London Bible House, had been carefully trained by Mr. Sorabji, and gave interesting dialogues of the work of the B. F. B. S. in the world.
Two short addresses were given in English and Hindus- tani, and the hymns
“Guard the Bible Well,”
“Send out the Light.”
“Yisu mujh ko karta piyar,”
rang clear on the evening air.
At the close of the meeting three heart)’ cheers were given for the Chief Justice and Lady Stanley — and Lady Stanley’s beautiful gift of Birthday Cake was distributed in generous slices.
The cake was in the form of huge books beautifully iced and weighing 107 pounds, the age of the British and Foreign Bible Society. Fourteen dainty books weighing one pound each proclaimed the age of the Y. P. B.
Some one has said “ Life is made up of laughter and tears.” The sunset glow faded into the grey of eventide, and the brightness of the Anniversary was merged into the sadness of parting. Sir John and Lady Stanley are soon to leave India. This was the last of their many
( 22 )
kindnesses to the Allahabad Branch of the Y. P. B. but wherever they go they will be followed by the child- ren’s love and the children’s prayers.
M. M. Wynkoop, Secretary.
Indian University Students and the Bible.
The results of the examinations of the Allahabad Uni- versity in 1910 were a severe blow to many aspirants for degrees, and for admission to the classes of thirty-two Col- leges affiliated to the University, in the United Provinces, Central India and the Central Provinces. Out of 3,540 who appeared for matriculation, only 981 passed. There were 615 candidates for the degree of Bachelor of Arts of whom 245 were successful.
To each of those who passed, a letter was sent, offering to graduates a presentation copy of the English Bible, and to matriculates the Four Gospels and Acts of the Apostles in a specially bound presentation edition.
When we remember that, owing to the difficulty of get- ting reliable addresses of some of the students, we do not succeed in reaching them all, it is significant of the attitude of the educated young men of India, both Hindu and Mohammedan, that out of 245 graduates of the year, 206 made application in person or by letter for the offered Bible.
720 Copies of the Gospels and Acts were sent to Matri- culates. The supply of books proved insufficient to meet the demand, and a number of late applicants have had to wait for a fresh supply from London.
A few of the letters received will be read with interest.
“ I thank you very much for the offer received. Kindly send mo the presentation copy of the Holy Bible, in which I take a deep interest long since.”
“ I am very much, pleased to see the zeal with which you are endeavouring to carry out your religious mission, the most impor- tant mission of mankind. I hope to have the pleasure of seeing you at the Bible House, when I come to Allahabad to attend the Convocation. ”
“ As I shall be leaving for England very soon, I would be so grateful if you would let me have the Bible you offer before I leave.”
“ I take this opportunity to ask you kindly to send me two copies of the Holy Bible, English and Urdu, well bound and good type. The English edition will be of inestimable help to myself, and the Urdu will do a world of good to my parents, relatives and other friends.”
“ The religious attitude of your Society commands my admir- ation. To preach the commandments of G-od is the highest duty imposed upon human beings. Your offer has brought home to me that I should undergo some similar sacrifice for my own religion. Please send the Bible you so kindly offer, and let me know your charges for a Hindi Bible.”
“ I gladly accept with thanks your offer of the Holy Bible. I will be greatly obliged if will also send me a book of daily prayers, and a pocket edition of the New Testament.”
“ I shall be glad to have a copy of the Holy Bible, which please send by the registered post to ensure safe arrival. As I am much interested in Christianity, I hope you will send other Christian books and papers with the Bible.”
“ Yes, I am glad to accept the gift from a Church, which though it does not include me as a Hindu within its pale, commands all reverence from me for most, if not all, of its teaching. The advance of the Christian religion has kept pace with the onward march of times, and its devoted and unselfish efforts for the sake of religion impress even a man outside the pale as a most significant and praiseworthy feature.”
The Bible Society in the United Provinces Exhibition.
On the 1st December, 1910, the opening ceremonies of a large and important Industrial Exhibition were held in Allahabad in the presence of the Governor General of India and the Lieut.-Governor of the United Provinces. A space of about one hundred acres lying along the Jumna River, and near to the Moghul Fort at the Junction of the
( M )
Jumna and Ganges, was selected as the site. Elaborate and costly preparations had been made by way of build- ings and adornment of the grounds.
The object of the Exhibition was to encourage the Arts and Industries of the United Provinces of Agra and Oudh, which nearly equal in size and considerably exceed in population the whole of the United Kingdom. In various courts and sections all the industries of the Provinces were shown, Agriculture, Forestry, Work in Wood, Stone and Metal, Engineering, Textile Manufactures, with ample space for the Fine Arts, Education, Hygiene and Sanita- tion. The indigenous industries and handicrafts of the Indian artizan were seen in operation, close beside the most approved methods and appliances adopted in Europe and America.
Early application was made to the Exhibition authori- ties for a place where the work of the British and Foreign Bible Society in India might be adequately shown. The centre of the space was occupied by a book case contain- ing a unique collection of versions of the Holy Bible in one hundred and fifty languages — European, American, Asiatic, African, Oceanian. Around these were grouped about three hundred volumes, large and small, from the pice Gospel and the two anna New Testament, to the large pulpit and Lectern Bibles, issued by the Bible Society in over sixty languages of the Indian Empire.
For the period of three months, from December to Feb- ruary, a constant stream of visitors passed our exhibit— Europeans of varied nationality, Indians from every part of the Empire, Burmese, Singhalese, and other Orientals. It is belived there was not one of these visitors who could not have read in his own mother tongue, if he were able
The British arid Foreign Bible Society
extend a cordial invitation to all visitors to the U. P. Exhibition to examine at their section in the General Industries Court their unique collection of
ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY BIBLES
IN THE FOREMOST LANGUAGES OF THE WORLD,
selected from their list of 424 versions in as many different languages and dialects, European, American, Asiatic, African, Oceanian.
Also a large and varied selection of Bibles, New Testaments and Scripture Portions in all the principal languages and dialects of India, Burma and Ceylon.
These are practically all printed and bound by Indian workmen in Indian Presses in Calcutta,
Bombay, Madras, Allahabad, Lahore,
Colombo, Rangoon.
That one book, the BIBLE, or portions of that one book, has been already translated into the mother tongues of five out of every seven men on the face of the earth, and that one hundred and fifty translations selected from this world -embracing list may be found in the Exhibition at Allahabad, gives this exhibit an unequalled value for every one who is interested in the study of language and literature, religion and morals, and every science that has to do with our common humanity.
( 25 )
to read, at least the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. The exhibit was put in charge of Mr. S. Massick, a well edu- cated and earnest Indian Christian Exhibitor. The Sec- retary, and other Christian workers were often with him. It was most encouraging to note the deep interest dis- played in these Bibles in many tongues. To all, whether Christian, Hindu or Musulman, it was an unexpected and surprising revelation of the magnitude and extent of the operations of the Bible Society. Some there were, both European, alas ! and Indian, who manifested their disap- proval of Bible work. But the almost universal senti- ment was one of interest and good will.
Mr. Massick reports that nearly all of the educated Hin- dus with whom he conversed told him that they possessed a Bible, or at least some portion of it. Students in Mis- sion Schools and Colleges had received it in their student days. To Graduates of Indian Universities it had been given by the Bible Society on their graduation. Others said, the missionary ladies give Bibles to our sisters, mothers, wives, and we read them too. In other cases, Bibles had been given by missionaries, or by friends.
Of those who read only the Indian Vernaculars perhaps one fourth had at least a copy of one of the Gospels. Only two men said they had never heard of Jesus Christ. Even the illiterate peasants said they had heard His name.
Shortly after space had been assigned in the Exhibition for the Bible Society, the Committee of management passed a rule that religious books should not be sold in the Exhibition. This did not prevent the registry of orders for Bibles, to be sent from the Bible Society’s Depot in Allahabad. Many Bibles in various languages, Euro- pean and Indian, including Sanscrit and Arabic, were so
4
( 26 )
ordered and supplied. No indiscriminate free distribution of the Scriptures was undertaken. But several thousand Gospels in English and the vernacular were given to visit- ors, not otherwise supplied, who seemed specially interest- ed. In return, many small contributions were voluntarily made to the funds of the Bible Society.
On Christmas Day, which fell on Sunday, a tour of the Exhibition was made, and copies of the Gospel of St. Luke, containing the story of the first Christmas, were given with a Christmas Greeting to all stall keepers and exhibitors. These were gladly received with thanks for the kindly thought ; and, later on under the glare of the electric lights, men were seen reading the story that never grows old, of the angels and the shepherds of Bethlehem, and the mother by the Manger.
On another Sunday, when our exhibit was closed, the police camps were visited, where gospels were given to those who desired them among the large detachment of Indian police collected for the preservation of order.
Appreciative notices of the exhibit were published in the Indian news papers both English and Vernacular. The jurors of the Exhibition gave to the British and Foreign Bible Society, their award of The Grand Prix, the high- est honour they could bestow.
From, the Pioneer of December 28th, 1910.
“ All visitors to the Provincial Exhibition who are interested in books or in men should devote some time to the collection of ver- sions of the Holy Bible in 150 languages displayed by the British and Foreign Bible Society iu the General Industries Court. Beside the originals in Hebrew and Greek, and the four great versions of the early Christian centuries, may be seen the Bibles of modern Europe and America in more than thirty languages. All the more important languages of Ldia are represented in many editions, together with partial versions in less important languages. Ver- sions of extreme interest are shown from the various languages of
( 27 )
Subscriptions and Donations.
Our best thanks are due to the many friends who have kindly taken charge of our subscription papers in various stations, as detailed in Appendices B and C, some of whom for many years have continued this valued assistance.
“ I am quite willing to take charge of the Bible Society subscrip- tion paper this year. There is no fund that our people give to as willingly.”
“ I shall be glad as in former years to do what I can for the Bible Society, for no Society does more for mission work than yours.”
“The Bible Society is doing a great work. It is the ideal Litera- ture Society, since the literature it seeks to spread, is G-od’s own Word, through which the Spirit of God carries on the work of grace in the hearts of men. The Bible Society wields Goliath’s sword, there is none like it.”
“ I have pleasure in remitting the sum of Rs. 7-9-0, as a contri- bution this year from the church among the Lepers, the members of which again expressed their desire to give something to the Bible Society’s work. It is a willing, although humble, and com- paratively trifling gift, yet representing much prayer and some sacrifice on their part, and I trust- may be the means of much blessing.”
The following personal note attached to one of our subscription papers by the missionary in charge proved effective in securing larger contributions : —
“Your help is earnestly solicited to help in the circu- lation among the people of India, of the greatest book in the world, a book which has not only revealed to us our religion, but has nourished the common life of our peo- ple, and been the basis of all that is abiding.”
Western, Central and Eastern Asia, of Africa, of Oceania, and the aborigines of the two Americas. Eor these 150 Bibles some fiftv different characters are used, alphabetic, ideographic, syllabic. In these versions are given the ripest results of linguistic learning, literary skill and Christian philanthrophy, all utilized by the Bri- tish and Foreign Bible Society, using geographical discovery, ethno- logical research, the mechanical arts of printing and binding, the resources of word-wide traffic, to carry to every open land the trea- sures of wisdom and piety contained in the Christian Holy Book-
( 28 )
Bible Sunday.
The first Sunday of March was observed in many churches as a Bible Sunday. A special programme was issued, setting forth the object and scope of the Bible Society, and suggesting suitable Bible readings, Hymns and other exercises intended to interest the entire con- gregation, young and old.
“ Many thanks for your recent letter reminding us of the Bible Sunday, 6th March. We are pleased to say that the Bible Sunday is one of our Annual Festivals, for singing and praying and giving, on the special line of the Bible Society’s work throughout India and the world.”
“We had a splendid gathering on the Bible Sunday. We had taught our people the different verses, and the Bible questions and answers. The little children had their place. Every one felt they had part in the service. Numbers of Mohammedans were present, and listened most reverently.”
“I used the Bible Sunday Programme but I had to shorten it as I had to baptize a Brahman convert This baptism fitted in beautifully, as I could show what the Bible Society had done to this young man, who is reading his Bible diligently. It gave him the strength to leave his family and a well paid post to follow our dear Saviour Jesus Christ. I am pleased with our Bible Sunday contribution, as the congregation was, owing to plague, a small one.”
There are in some of the Native States of India, as in Caesar’s household, (Phil. 4 : 22), Christian officials of posi- tion and influence. One of these writes —
“We are glad Bible Sunday is coming again. You will be interested to the know that the Programme of last year has been used repeatedly in the palace, throughout 1910. The favourite hymn of Her Highness the Maharani is the Urdu version of
‘Lord, Thy Word abideth And our footsteps guidetlr .
And of the Maharaja’s younger brother
‘Sing them over again to me Wonderful words of life.’
The only copy we have is well worn now,”
( 29 ;
The contributions credited to the Bible Sunday collec- tions in 1910 aggregated Rs. 688 — received from about sixty churches. Many more small congregations paid their offerings through mission treasurers, who were unable to furnish detailed accounts.
An Appreciation from an Indian Secretary of State.
The following reply to a letter of the Allahabad Sec- retary was received from an Indian of high standing, Sec- retary of State in one of the Native States of Rajputana. “My Dear Sir,
In acknowledging receipt of your letter I have to thank you for the kindly sentiments conveyed in your note, as well as for the Illustrated Report of the British and Foreign Bible Society which you sent.
I am highly impressed by the magnitude of the bene- volent work done by the Bible Societies in publishing and circulating broadcast the different editions of the Scrip- tures, and thus bringing light and solace into countless- homes.
Many and varied are the paths by which the Ultimate Goal is reached, and, while one is faithful to his own path, he is bound to show every respect and consideration to those following a different course which ultimately will reach the same goal.
My best good wishes are for your work, and I admire the patience, preseverance and fortitude with which it is being done in England and in foreign countries.
With best compliments, Yours faithfully.”
St. Matthew in Tehri-Garhwali.
A first edition of 1200 copies of the Gospel of St. Mat- thew in the language spoken in the Native State of Tehri in Garhwal was issued late in the year. The preparation of it has been a labour of love on the part of Mr. Wf
( 3° )
Greet of Landour, who has had the interest and Assist- ance of several Pandits of the Tehri State.
As the language of Tehri has never been standardized, and is spoken with much divergence of form even in val- leys separated from each other by only a few miles of mountain range, the writing of the version was no easy matter, and many changes were introduced even while it was passing through the press.
Three hundred copies of chapters 1—7 were printed last summer as a first instalment, and were well received. Now that the complete Gospel is ready, we may hope it will soon be circulated among the three thousand villages of the Tehri State, and the thousands of coolies engaged in various forms of summer service in the hill stations, of Landour and Mussoorie and in the adjacent districts.
After Forty Years.
The last letter received from a Missionary lately gone home 011 furlough, written first before leaving, told with joy of the baptism of a young man, a Chamar, whose con- version was due to the reading of a New Testament, which he had found in a box of odds and ends, broken household utensils, bits of leather and the like. The book had been purchased by his grandfather forty years ago, and, all that while, had lain neglected and unnoticed, until it was brought to light to do its work in a human soul, a living and life- giving Word.
Fruit in the Jungle.
We were told a few weeks ago how one day last summer two men, one of them a priest among his people, had come to a little mission station from a distant village in the jungle to ask for baptism. The missionary, himself an
( 3i )
Indian Christian, was away on tour. Two months later the same two men came again, bringing three more men with them. They had never seen a missionary, but they had read and studied the Bible, and they returned to their people, from the holy rite, a body of Christian men to preach Christ to the people from whom they came.
A Search with a Sequel.
The Rev. J. W. Robinson of Lucknow has kindly al- lowed us to insert the following narrative.
‘‘He was a high caste Hindu, and trouble had found him early in life. His father, a wealthy man, died sud- denly, and the children of the various wives went to law about the property, with the usual result that most of its value was swallowed up in costs. When the matter was finally settled, Babu Ram found himself not only without money, but also without a home, and so started out to make his way in life.
His journeyings in search of employment led him finally to Hardwar, where the Ganges issues from the mountains on its way to the plains of Northern India, and where pil- grims to the number of hundreds of thousands, gather to bathe away their sins in these sacred waters. He was soon found doing some menial service in the Railway station. Here he learned to read, but was not satisfied with his work. Being of a priestly family, his thoughts turned toward Hindu temples, and after a little we find him ser- ving an altar of one of the idols in Hardwar. But this service did not satisfy his heart, and so he consecrated himself to the life of a Sanyasi, or mendicant saint, and started on his round of visits to the holy places of the land.
Reaching Benares, he stopped for some days with a priest attached to one of the temples, and was with him when some refuse paper, thrown out by some one, attract- ed his attention. He picked up a few of the loose leaves, thinking to pass a quiet hour in reading them. One of the pieces of paper proved to be a single leaf out of the
( 32 )
Gospel of St. John, containing the story of the miracle at Cana. This was new and arrested his attention, but the only idea he could get from it was, that it was an account of an incarnate wonder-worker and guru named Jesus, whose name he had never heard before and whom he took to be still living.
He asked his priest friend where Jesus lived but the priest knew nothing of such a man. Then he went out to the city, asking here and there if any one knew where Jesus lived. None seemed to know the Wonder-worker.
At last a man, either in a spirit of humour or misunder- standing the question, told him that Jesus lived in Luck- now. By this time a keen desire had been aroused in Babu Ram’s heart to see this incarnate being, so he started on his way to Lucknow. Arriving at the Railway station, he astonished a number of the Railway people by asking where Jesus lived. He finally met a man who did not chaff him nor think him crazy, a Native Christian who was working there. This man told him to follow, and led him through the native city to the missionary’s house. The sequel is that he was not so crazy as they thought him at the station, for he found Jesus.”
Valentine Hequest Fund.
The legacy of Rs. 4,000 received from the estate of the late Rev. C. S. Valentine of Agra, was invested with accrued interest in a Government Loan for Rs. 4, 200. The interest received since then has been placed on Fixed De- posit in the Allahabad Bank, and on December 31, 1910 amounted to Rs. 675-8-10.
