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

BRITISH AND FOREIGN BIBLE SOCIETY
(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.
The principal amounts were : —
From sale of Scriptures ... Rs. 6,089 5 6
Subscriptions and Donations ... „ 5,306 5 2
Miscellaneous ... . .. „ 1,685 1 o
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. : —
Publication and purchase of
Scriptures ... . .. „ 11,630
Administration ... . .. „ 2,858
Landing, Clearing and Forwarding „ 1,697

If to the Cash Sales we were to add the value of Scriptures
supplied on Inter Agency Account, and the Rs. 2,400,
realized by the Colporteurs from their sales but retained
by them on account, the sales of the year would reach a
total of Rs. 14,483.

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.
