HOME MISSIONS.
NliNETY-SIXTH ANNUAL REPORT.
The Board of Home Missions begs leave respectfully to submit
to the General Assembly the Ninety-sixth Annual Rej)ort of
its work.
We record the goodness of God manifest to us in many ways
during the year now closed. It ajDpears in the devotion and self-
sacrifice of our missionaries and teachers. In a time of great finan-
cial stress and tlie burdens inevitable thereto they have stood to
their work with signal patience and fortitude. They have in
many cases evinced a cheerfulness under trials worthy of all i)raise.
They have not allowed hard times to turn them aside from the
service of Christ.
We make grateful mention also of special tokens of divine
goodness in the fruits of missionary labors. It has not been a
year of general revival, but from many fields there come to us
notes of rejoicing because of harvests gathered. In some of the
hardest places there have been cheering times of refreshing, and
where there have been no special seasons of quickening, there has
been a steady gain in souls gathered into the Kingdom and in the
life and strength of the churches.
The Board also bears thankful testimony to the favor of God in
the measure of support that has come to its work. Gratifying-
responses have been made to the appeals that have been necessary,
and both sympathy for and co-operation with the Board have not
failed in the Presbyteries and churches. So while the review of
the year is in some respects a painful one because of a depleted
treasury, the lack of ox)portunity to advance and the many anxie-
ties inseparable from hard times, the Board does not lose sight of
the truth that our covenant God has been with us — ^His light has
not failed us in the darkness, nor the shadow of His gracious
4 ' ANNUAL KEPOKT OF TIIP: [1898,
cloud in the heat of the day. So while we count our debt and our
distresses, we do not forget that the mercies of the Lord are with-
out number.
Especially do we look back over well-nigh a century of the
history of this work and find in its steady i^rogress and its deep
entrenchment in the heart of our Church abundant "comfort of
hope ' ' that in the years to come the Lord of Hosts will be with
us and the God of Jacob continue to be our refuge.
The past year has in many respects been memorable in the his-
tory of this Board. The last General Asseml^ly directed it so to
reorganize its methods of administration that the executive work
should be placed in charge of one secretary with whatever assist-
ants might be necessary ; and that he be accountable to the Board
for its faithful and efficient management.
After prolonged and earnest deliberation the Board made this
reorganization and the Rev. Charles L. Thomjoson, D.D., i)astor of
the Madison Avenue Presbyterian Church of New York City and
for nearly nine years a member of the Board, was elected sole sec-
retary and entered upon his work the iirst of March. The retiring
secretaries have the grateful appreciation of the Board for the abil-
ity and devotion with which through years of great financial stress
they conducted this work. They will not fail to receive the grati-
tude of the entire Church.
The past year has also witnessed several important changes in
the i)ersonnel of the Board. Mr. John Crosby Brown, for several
years a highly valued member and serving on some of its most
important committees, was obliged on account of the pressure of
other business to retire from our service. Mr. Robert C. Ogden
has been elected to fill the vacancy. The Board was further bereft
in December by the sudden death of the Hon. Charles E. Green,
whose counsels were of the highest value to the Board and who at
the time of his death was Chairman of the Committee on Reor-
ganization. His iDlace has been filled by the election of the Hon.
James A. Beaver, of Bellefonte, Pa.
A few months ago the Rev. Thomas S. Hastings, D.D., LL.D.,
oft'ered his resignation, which was accepted most reluctantly and
with profound regret. Dr. Hastings' services covered a long period
in the history of the Board and were always conspicuous. He was
a member of the New School Committee of Home Missions from
1861, and since the Reunion a member of this Board. His place
has been filled by the election of Rev. Samuel J. Niccolls, D.D.,
of St. Louis.

Tlie Rev. Charles Wood, D.D., of Philadelphia, has been chosen
to fill the vacancy created by the election of the present secretary.
Dnring the past year the following missionaries of the Board
have gone to their rest and their reward. Let their names be
inscribed in the history of the Church, to whose missionary ser-
vice they gave their lives.

OUR FIELD.
It may be best to begin our r<Uii mt of the work in different parts
of the country by alluding to characteristic features of that form
of Home Mission work toward which there is marked tendency,
and which is represented in several of our strongest Synods.
SYNODIOAL SUSTENTATION.
The following Synods are caring, in whole or in part, for the
work in their own bounds — named in the order in which they have
assumed this, respectively, viz., Kentucky, Pennsylvania, New
Jersey, New York, Baltimore, Indiana, Illinois and Ohio.
The plans, however, vary according to the needs and conditions
of localities. Kentucky do^s what it can toward its own support,
taking special collections, and any deficiency in this Synodical
Fund is supplemented by the Board.
Pennsylvania has made steady progress in its Synodical Plan
since 1883 until now it draws very little from the general treasury.
New Jersey likewise carries on its own work entirely, increasing
also in its contributions to the Board.
New York's collections for Sustentation have not wholly sup-
ported it, due doubtless to the large amount of mission
work done by churches in large cities through various plans
of church extension. During the past year, however, the Empire
State has determined to take entire charge of its work, purpos-
ing to continue its usual offerings to the Board.
The Synod of Baltimore has substantially the same plan as
Pennsylvania and is making good i^rogress under efficient manage-
ment. Tliey are not quite self-supporting, but will soon become so.
Indiana and Illinois assume entire responsibility for their own
work, having their own treasurers, to whom all moneys are paid.
'6 ANNUAL KEPOUT OF TUE [1898.
Whatever can be spared from their own hekls (and they propose
this shall be some definite proportion) shall come to the Board for
the cause at large. They believe l)y this method thej will more
quickly develop their own fields and will do more for the general
work than ever before.
The plan adopted in 1896 by Ohio differs but little from that
in use in Indiana and Illinois. It encourages the local churches
to give directly to the treasury of the Home Board. An amount
equal to 25% of a thirty-five cent apportionment upon the church
membership of the entire Synod shall be guaranteed by the Synod
to the Board of Home Missions, which sum shall include all ofl'er-
ings made directly to the Board by the churches of the Synod.
These various plans are experimental, their distinguishing-
features determined by local conditions, and all of them adminis-
tered in a spirit of loyalty to the Home Board and to the cause
of Home Missions. Whatever adjustment they may require will
in time become manifest, and then the spirit in which they origin-
ated and are conducted may be trusted to secure the proper
modifications.
Meantime a Committee of Fifteen, appointed by the General
Assembly, has been considering how these Sy nodical schemes may
best be brought into useful and harmonious relations with the
Board and the cause. - The Church looks for their report in the
confidence that their conclusions will strengthen Home Mission
work everywhere.
NEW ENGLAND.
Of the forty-three Presbyterian churches in Xew England, twenty-
three are self-supporting, and by their growth, their influence and
their benevolence have made good their early promise and Justified
the ai^propriations of former years in their aid. Only twenty of
the churches received aid from the Board during the past year,
and the average amount granted — $275 — being so small a part of
the salary, evinces a struggle toward self-support and a sacrifice
that is not surpassed in any section of our country. In addition
to their contributions toward self-support, heroic efforts have been
made to provide houses of worship. These people, be it remem-
bered, are largely from the old countries and the Provinces. They
have been attracted by the hundreds of thousands into New Eng-
land manufacturing cities and towns, and while their affiliations
are decidedly Presbyterian, their means are limited to very mod-
erate incomes. As our work is largely restricted to manufacturing
1898,] BOAIU) OF IIO.MK MISSIONS. 7
and commercial centres, real estate is costly and tlie character of
the building needed is expensive. These burdens test the faith
and courage of the most resolute. And yet, all but four of our
churches have houses of worship. And these four, Hyde Park,
Haverhill, Waltham and Brockton, have begun to accumulate
funds for the purpose. These churches have j^assed successfully
through the recent years of iinancial depression, in many cases
with reduced wages and enforced idleness. The accessions last year
averaged about seventy to each church. The additions to the Pres-
byterian churches of New England during the period under review
have been over 100% larger than those to any other denomination.
That these struggling churches have so grown in numbers and
strength is an encouraging feature of the work, an interesting
commentary on their self-denial and splendid management, and
evidence of earnest effort and the Divine sanction and blessing.
" The ministers and officers, as well as the membership gene-
rally," says Dr. Dewing, "have met the great reduction in appro-
priation with a brave and uncomplaining spirit. It has been a
delicate and often painful duty to inform pastors, already per-
plexed to see how to make ends meet, that a reduced grant was
imperative on account of the multiplied burdens that have embar-
rassed the Board of Home Missions, especially during the past
three years. It is earnestly hoped that an era of financial
prosperity may dawn that may dissipate the threatening clouds
that have darkened the horizon, and an advance movement on a
strictly economical basis may be possible. On behalf of the
section of the work that I represent as Presbyterial Missionary, I
pledge the utmost endeavor to carry forward the work at the
minimum of aid from the treasury of the Board, that will protect
our churches against disaster and ultimate extinction,"
THE SOUTH has a much smaller foreign element in its popu-
lation than any other section of our country, A comparative
statement in this regard is startling. While 14^ of the poxni-
lation of our country, taken as a whole, is foreign-born, the
Southern States average but 2'^c. New York has 26% ; North
Dakota nearly 45 fo ; Texas, having the largest number of
foreigners of the Southern States, has less than 7%; Florida
comes next with less than 6^. The foreigners in Texas are
chiefly Mexicans, and those of Florida are Cubans or Si^anish.
Kentucky follows next with but S% ; while Tennessee and
Arkansas have but 1% each; Alabama less than 1%, and Miss-
8 ANNUAL KEPORT OF THE | 1898.
issippi and Georgia about one-lialf of 1%. These facts
would indicate a poi^nlation of remarkable homogeneity. But
racial differences enter into the account ; varied social conditions
follow, and corresponding methods of mission work become neces-
sary. The 7,000,000 citizens of African descent must look for aid
in the supply of spiritual things to the Boards especially provided
for them.
Perils. — Different and very distinct conditions exist among
the white citizens of these States. The multitudes among the
mountains, who have been passed by in the march of progress and
the growth of churches and schools, are exposed to the perils of
ignorance, immorality, intemperance and the wily Mormon mission-
ary, who appeals with too much success to their susceptible religious
nature. The misguided and misleading emissaries of that strange
system are deployed among the States of the South as well as those
of the North and West,
Opijortwnities . — The inflow of population from the North into
certain portions of the South overtaxes the resources of the
churches in the South and makes it imperative that we should bear
our portion of the burden. To such regions we confine our Home
Missionary operations. No attempt has been made to enter Vir-
ginia, South Carolina, Georgia, Mississippi or Louisiana, where
the southern branch of our Church seems able to do the work.
But in many communities in Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama,
Florida and Texas, where the churches were unable to support the
means of grace unaided, and where the demands upon the
treasury of our Southern brethren was far greater than they could
possibly meet, we were invited and urged to enter. We have
never been either hasty or over-zealous to respond to this call, but
with the same spirit with which we have tried to give the Gospel
to the neglected communities in the West, in New England, and
in every jpart of our common country, we have entered the States
lying toward the South, always observing strictly the principles
of denominational comity.
The South calls imperatively for additional help in providing
the means of grace. Its resources and developments speak
volumes in behalf of an aggressive policy in our church life. She
possesses 183,000,000 acres of unbroken forests. Her mineral
resources ai'e just now coming to light. Enormous stores of
granite, sandstone, limestone and phosj^hate rock, and in some
places coal, iron-ore and limestone are close together in the same
range, a condition found nowhere else in the world.
1898,] BOAHD OF ]IO:\[E MISSIONS. 9
A new era has dawned in agricultural development. Last year the
cotton crop was f our-hf ths of the whole world' s product. Within
two years the South' s addition of cotton-spindles was 39^, while
Xew England's was only 5-^%. Manufactured articles doubled in
value between 1880 and 1890, while the wages of factory hands
nearly tripled as also did the capital involved in cotton manufactur-
ing. The capital has nearly doubled since 1890, being about $120,-
000, 000 now to $61, 000, 000 then. In 1880 the cotton-seed oil capital
was $3,500,000 and now it is over $30,000,000, In 1880 the South
made 397,000 tons of pig-iron, but in 1895 she made 1,702,000 tons.
In 1890 its coal outx:)ut was 6,000,000 tons, but now mining is being
done at the rate of 30,000,000 tons per annum.
But the increase of Southern export commerce is still more sig-
nificant.
All the ports of our country gained in business a little over 19^.
The Southern ports gained over 3ifc.
And the Gulf ports increased over 37%.
The increase in the shipment of grain from four of the largest
Southern ports was 65;^ against 25% at four of the largest Northern
ports.
Glance at the meaning of these statistics in relation to the work
of our Church in the South which we now give by Synods,
KENTUCKY,
This Synod has maintained a steady growth through another
trying year, but it has required well directed energy and wise
financiering to do it. Its gain in church membership was less than
in the previous year. It added but one church to its roll and lost
two ministers, but it received less aid from the Board, contributed
more money to the Board, raised more for the support of its
churches and missions and advanced 15% in its contributions
to the benevolent causes of the Church, It is the earnest
purjDose of this Synod to relieve the Board of the support of its
weak churches and missions, and in pursuance of this purpose two
years ago it appointed an Executive Committee of Synodical Home
Missions whose duty it is to raise funds, to keej) the work before
the churches in the most effective manner by sermons, addresses,
conferences, conventions and by whatever other methods may
seem to them best and to use the funds in aid of the feeble churches
in accordance with the Synod's instruction.
The Synod has enacted that ' ' A collection shall be taken in each
of our churches for this cause of Synodical Missions every year,"
and "The annual Home Missionary collection shall be taken as
10 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE [1898.
usual in eacli clinrcli and forwarded to the Home Board in New
York/' The Synodical Fund last year amounted to $3,178.16.
Presbyterianism in Kentucky is an aggressive force and moves
on with a well-defined purpose which is born of faith and guided
by the wisdom of a ripe experience.
There are entire counties in this State where w^e have no church,
and there are 300,000 mountaineers who have yet to be provided
with the stated means of grace.
" Our mountain work," writes the Rev. Dr. McDonald,
"hitherto so discouraging, is now the most promising in the Synod.
Thirty-one persons have been added to our church at Hyden,
Leslie County, within six months. We are eagerly looking forward
to the time when we shall be permitted to enter many promising
and needy fields, from which we are now barred for want of funds.
Half a dozen men of grit and grace could be placed in as many
fields needing to be occupied if the funds were forthcoming. That
Ood may send the funds and the men is my earnest prayer.""
THE SYNOD OF TENNESSEE.
This Synod includes all the churches in our connection
in the three States of Alabama, North Carolina and Tennessee.
Its western boundary follows the Cumberland Mountains,
and so does not reach middle Tennessee, and could not
without encroaching upon territory already sufficiently covered
by our sister Church of the South. For the same reason it does
not extend into Alabama beyond the northern tier of counties nor
eastward beyond the mountains of western North Carolina. It
covers the region where the mountaineers dwell who, possessing
little money and no slaves, confined themselves to the
lands which the wealthy planters could not use to advantage.
With the inspiring memories and sturdy faith which are their
heritage, it is not wonderful that the people of this region should
give promise of a vigorous church life and require an able ministry.
Dr. Duncan says: — "The distinctive work of this Synod is its
schools among the mountain people. Counting out the pupils in
our colleges, we have in actual attendance upon our boarding and
day schools 1,500 pupils — 500 of these boarding pupils. As
reported to the last General Assembly, there were added to our Home
Mission churches 357 by profession and 165 by letter — 522 in all;
and our Home Mission churches gave $1,278 to the Home Board.
1898.] BOAKD OF HOME MISSIONS. 11
"Five new churches and four new schools have been organized,
and at Huntsville, Tenn., a dormitory and teachers' home secured
for the school.
" In the course of the year we hope to have two new buildings in
Tennessee and two in North Carolina. AVe now have thirty-three
candidates for the gospel ministry.
The lack of money is greatly hindering aggressive work. Two
more men are a most urgent need, but we have not a cent to sn])-
j)ort them. We are constantly having to say 'No' to calls for
new schools, although they come eagerly from many points in
North Carolina and Tennessee. The church invariably follows the
school. In the course of the year we will probably organize
churches in neighborhoods where we have had schools."
Part of Holston Presbytery is in North Carolina, west of the
Blue Ridge, where our work has been growing to such a degree
that North Carolina may soon be set off into a new Presbytery.
FLORIDA.
This State has not yet fully recovered from the destructive frosts
which a few years ago brought disastrous and disheartening calam-
ity, but a new period of prosperity has dawned. The resources of
the State are better understood, a variety of industries are being
developed, the soil and climate are favorable to a diversity of crops
so that the State is not again to be at the mercy of a single frost,
or even a succession of frosts. The facilities for the shipment of
perishable vegetables and fruits to the great cities of the country
are so far perfected that its harvests and markets are perennial.
The church life is beginning to feel a new impulse. At least four
important mission groups give promise of early reaching self-sup-
port. New work opens to us as the inflow of population pushes
southAvard. The Rev. S. T. Thomj)son, of Tarpon Springs, observes
"that ever from all sections north of Tampa, Polk and Brevard
counties, southward the course of settlers takes its way. While
other parts of Florida are losing, all this part is gaining in popula-
tion. The diversified jDroducts, the exemption from frost and the
thrifty character of the new comers give assurance of steady and
probably rapid growth."
An interesting and very hopeful feature of church life in Florida
is the cordial co-operation of the Northern and Southern Branches
of the Presbyterian Church. By mutual understanding, they
arrange their work in different sections, and where these sections
12 ANNUAL KEPOKT OF THE [1898,
approach they group across the line in a truly fraternal fashion.
Thus the most careful economy of men and money is practiced.
The only advance into new territory that has been effected has
been accomplished by the wider grouping of the churches and mis-
sions under the missionaries. This reduces the effectiveness of the
missionary and at the same time increases his burdens, but it saves
the Board's money. The cry for more men is importunate.
The Chairman of the Home Mission Committee, South Florida
Presbytery, asks : ' ' Has the Board before it from all its wide field
a more urgent need ? Can any other Church so well supply this
need? Can the Board, with all its wise counsel, effectual prayer,
and heavenly guidance do aught but say, ' This clarion call must
be heeded, this field must be supplied.' "
On the subject of comity the Rev, Henry Keigwin says: "At
the spring meetings it has become the custom of the Presbytery of
St. John (of the Southern Church) and the Presl^ytery of South
Florida (of our church) alternately to invite each other to become
their guests. These union meetings have been delightful, the
Christian fellowship has been cordial, and I am convinced that
there is not a brother in either Presbytery but would hail the day
when the organic union of the two Assemblies w^ould give them
opportunity to mingle permanently in unity and enable them to
work unitedly for one common cause in Florida,"
TEXAS,
This continental State reaches from Arkansas to Mexico and
from Colorado to the Grulf ; from the cattle ranges at the very
spurs of the Rocky Mountains it extends to the orange orchards
and palmetto swamps of the tropics. With its vast variety of
soil and climate, of minerals and of natural growths, of grazing lands
and of crops, its pox)ulations and occupations, it has within itself
the diversified resources of an empire. It attracts all nationalities
and all conditions of people. It has railroads for them to travel
over and cities for them to dwell in.
Its history is remarkable even for an American State. It has
existed under seven different national flags — a fact that is an
index to the varied character of the mission work needed within
its bounds. Our missionaries are preaching in six different
languages and peoples of nine other languages are waiting for the
Gospel. At a recent mass meeting held in the city of Dallas in the
interest of the American Bible Society and presided over by the
1898.] BOARD OF HOME MISSIONS. 13
Rev. Dr. AV. B. Rankin, the Society's general agent, the Bible
was read in fifteen different languages.
Texas is the great western frontier of the Southern States. But
the Southern Branch of our Church finds its resources of men and
money entirely inadequate to meet the demand. The churches
which we early established in Austin and Dallas, and some smaller
cities and towns, have grown strong and extended their influence
in radiant lines till it has been long felt all over the State. And
yet w^e have been tardy in entering the greater cities on the coast;
Galveston and Houston have long invited us to come over and
help, but not until the year just closed have we responded.
Churches of bright promise have been organized in each of these
cities. They are struggling heroically with the problem of church
building and self-support on slender resources. A large amount
of help extended to these j)romising fields, and others that are
ready to be occupied in Texas, would doubtless give early and
liberal returns.
Says Dr. Little : " Even a novice in Home Missions can see the
drift of affairs in Texas. The whole land has uttered a Mace-
donian cry for help, but the South, and especially the South on
the Gulf, has lifted up such a cry as was never heard on the round
globe. And this cry is intensified by the fact that a very large
portion of those coming in to the Gulf region are from the north-
west. They are our own people and are in sympathy with our
methods and activities. And our possibilities are emphasized by
our marked successes, as in Houston and Galveston. Tliere is an
open door in Texas if only the Board was financially conditioned to
sustain us in new work. Towns are springing up on multiplied
railroads. The Gulf counties are attracting multitudes, the
western counties give the finest climate in America to great num-
bers. Our eyes are not open to the facts, because it seemed best
to stop exploring and devote our energies to the development of
what is in hand. Six men are wanted for places that are now
being neglected. Twice as many more will be urging their claims
upon us if there shall ever come iDermission to push our work.
There is a disadvantage in stirring up a community unless we
really mean to be permanent in our occupation, and hence so little
has been done to develop our work. The vast undertakings in
business in the South, and especially on the Gulf, have been pre-
sented to your attention that it might be evident that a much
larger future is before you than is now apparent. Such develop-
14

ments in business make the enforced delay in pushing our work
doubly disastrous ; we lose our present opportunities, and in doing
so we close the door to many coming opportunities."
The strength of our Church in the Southern States is exhibited
by the statistics hereto appended. The few churches in Arkansas
connected with our branch belong to the Synods of Missouri and
Indian Territory and are so reported.

The average contribution per member in Kentucky is far above
the average for the other Synods in the South. It is not only
true that the people have a mind to give, but there are in this
Synod a number of strong churches, lifting the average ability
beyond that of any other of our Southern Synods.
The average in Tennessee is the lowest because such a large per-
centage of our churches in that Synod is in the mountain districts,
where the ability to give does not exist. Florida is low in the
scale of contributions because of the recent and almost total
destruction of its chief industry — orange growing. Texas has all
the disadvantages of the frontier, where wealth is not found in its
churches and where the elements which constitute our congrega-
tions are largely of the incoming population, whose possessions are
in recently established business. They are showing the rising
tide of prosperity by the steady increase of their contributions.
MICHIGAN.
The Synod of Michigan has exemplified during the past year the
possibilities of united and persistent effort in the face of diffi-
culties. Tlie wisely directed labors of the Synodical Committee
and the Presbyterial Committees in connection with those of the
Synodical Missionary have resulted in helping aid-receiving
churches toward self-support, grouping churches to the utmost

ing the amount of their support from the field, and laying respon-
sibility more heavily upon the hearts of the stronger churches for
increased contributions. The good results are in part seen in the
diminished aid required and the increased receipts of the Board
from that Synod.
The new rules governing the appropriations of the Board adopted
by the General Assembly of 1896 have in this Synod, as in all
others, worked to the advantage of both the churches and the
Board' s treasury. In some cases the rearrangement of aid-receiving
churches made necessary by retrenchment has increased the size
of the fields and thus added to the labors of the ministers. But
the new plan of apportionment has prevented the material reduc-
tion of salaries. The eiforts of Home Mission churches to assume
self-support have been commendable, and in many cases heroic.
Progress has been made all along the line, and the Synod is now
quite fully supplied with ministers.
Rev. David Howell, the Synodical Missionary, says : "The plan
of Presbyterial administration of mission funds, adopted by the
Board two years ago, has become fully established in all our Pres-
byteries and is working quite satisfactorily. With but few excep-
tions our churches are grouped as closely as efficiency of work will
permit. The grants to some churches may be and will be reduced
as they advance toward self-support.
" During the past two years salaries have declined a little. The
average for the Synod is a little lower. This operates somewhat
against supplying the weaker fields permanently. Church Exten-
sion has been practically suspended during the past I'eAv years and
as yet shows but little activity.
"The Synod of Michigan has but two aims : First, the extension
and establishment of Christ's Kingdom in the hearts of men, and,
secondly, the support of such churches as are necessary to accom-
plish this end. The chief obstacle to oirr advancement is the eva-
sion by churches of the responsibility of supporting the work.
There is a slight improvement, however, in this direction. A num-
ber of churches have adopted the plan of advance pledges for the
supi)ort of the benevolent Boards with most pleasing results.
Detroit Presbytery has recommended the plan to her churches. I
think it will gradually extend to most of the Synod. Strong-
efforts are being made to induce churches to adopt it.
"With the disappearance of the financial depression through
which we have passed there comes a perceptible decrease of
pastoral discontent. This is certainly most gratifying."
16 AlS^NUAL REPORT ()¥ THE [1898-
WISCONSIN.
Partial recovery from financial depression lias given the
cliurclies and missionaries of Wisconsin new courage. Many
opportunities invite aggressive work in tliis State, and tne brethren
of the Synod have been restive under the restraint which our
empty treasury has imposed. Being without a Synodical Mis-
sionary the greater part of the year, the care of vacant churches
devolved upon the Home Mission Committees, for whose expenses
no provision could be made. They nevertheless gave much time
and attention at their own individual cost, but were quite ready to
welcome the help of the new Synodical Missionary, the Rev. L. C.
Smith, who was elected by the Synod in October.
Wisconsin is still a young State with new towns springing up
and older ones groAving into cities, with a large foreign element of
various nationalities, with lumber camps and mining communities,
with all the push and growth which accompany the rapid develop-
ment of great natural resources. But her large lumber interests,
mining properties and extensive stone quarries are either OAvned
or operated by Eastern or foreign capitalists, into whose hands
How the proceeds. Thus, with productive industries enriching
other coffers than her own, Wisconsin needs help in establishing
and maintaining churches. By the progress of many churches
toward self-support, by a vigorous canvass in all the fields for the
purpose of developing their giving poAver, and by reducing the
salaries to the lowest point, the increasing demand for missionaries
in Wisconsin has been iDartially met ; 63 missionaries have been
in the field as against 59 last year. If the State is to be saved our
missionary forces must be speedily increased and aggressive work,
which has been so long suspended, must be vigorously pushed.
The churches gained in contributions 25^ last year over the year
before, in the face of trying iinancial conditions. The Rev, L. C.
Smith has given attention first to existing missions and weak
churches, rallying them and developing their strength and
resources, rather than to aggressive work, so earnestly demanded
in the untried fields.
He says : " For the past two years there has been no Synodical
Missionary for Wisconsin, and upon my assuming the duties of the
office it was determined by the Synod that I should engage largely
in evangelistic work among the weak churches. This plan has
l)een faithfully carried out and good results attained. Such work
in all our weak churches would pay a hundredfold for the time and
expense.
1898.] BOARD OF HOME MISSIONS. 17
" I worked ten days in West ]Merrill Church, clearing off a debt
that had long been a burden to them. A number professed Christ
and the church is greatly strengthened. I gave ten days to the
Bethel Church of Ashland. The people had been discouraged and
half minded to close the church, but before the meetings were over
ii different sx)irit prevailed and some forty decided to become Chris-
tians, At Bangor forty professed conversion and the church was
crowded nightly. February was spent with the churches of Cot-
tage Grove, Yilas and Oregon, in the Presbytery of Madison. In
the first two churches the work was a glorious success. Houses
crowded and great interest. Between forty and fifty took a stand
for Christ, and the work was greatly strengthened. Very inspir-
ing meetings were held at Carroll College, in which twenty-two
students professed Christ.
" Just such work ought to be done in all the Presbyteries. Our
weak churches need revivals, and nothing helps to open ijocket-
books and to open hearts like a work of grace. But I surely can-
not do all that ought to be done in this line in the great State of
Wisconsin. The Synodical Missionary is needed for the whole
field.
"More ought to be realized from weak churches receiving aid.
Our x^astors must be made to see the condition of the Board and to
realize their responsibility in the taking of offerings. If they can
be set on fire the x^roblem can be solved very quickly. There is
scarcely a church in the whole Western country that is not in debt
to the Board of Home Missions. Without the help of the Board
In the past none of these churches Avould have existed. The debt
the strong churches owe the Board can never be repaid, no matter
wdiat the munificence of their offerings."
MINNESOTA.
The past year has been one of steady progress. The agencies
employed have been efficient and the principles of administration
followed by the Synod have proved wise. One Presbytery in its
report bears strong testimony to the value of the Synodical Mis-
sionarj^ as an indispensable agency and most imi^ortant factor in
the results attained. Another adds important testimony to the
value of the pastor-at-large. The money spent for his support
accomplishes more than if sj^ent on separate charges. This is the
only method of taking care of the feeble work.
The Synod's Committee emphasizes the duty of self-support and
brings the heaviest x:»ressure to bear upon aid-receiving churches
18 ANNUAL KEPOKT OF THE [1898.
not only for the purpose of saving Home Mission money, but for
the higher aim of inculcating the resolute lesson of self-help.
Tlie Committee in its report to the Synod says:— "A most
important feature in practical Home Missionary operations is the
matter of autonomy, subject, of course, to Presbyterial oversight.
We use the term in its broad sense. It is the same as teaching a
son rising toward manhood self-reliance and self-support.
' ' Our missions should be organized early and taught to conduct
their own affairs and be distinctly shown their organic relation to
the other congregations, the Presbytery, and the whole Church.
Perhaps the most vital question before the Church to-day relating
to our portion of the Home Mission work is that of local self-
support."
The Synod urges uj^on the churches : ' ' The liberal use in all our
congregations of the leaflets furnished free by the Board. That
each pastor preach at least one sermon, before or in connection
with the taking of a collection for the Board on the subject of the
relation of the Board to our Country' s Evangelization. That the
Board be not only remembered in the ordinary way by the ordin-
ary collection, but that in connection therewith, through the
agencies of elders, deacons, women' s societies, children' s bands or
Sabbath- schools the negligent or careless be sought out and their
contributions, in many cases long overdue, obtained to swell the
sum to be given by the congregations to this cause. That every
means be used to bring up our mission fields to self-dependence in
government as most highly contributing to the development of
those qualities of intellectual and spiritual life which we seek to
promote. That the Presbyteries which have not already done so
commend to and require of their churches, about to apply to the
Board, the use of such plans of subscription paper as that called
the Michigan Plan, coupled with the envelope system or some
similar one, in order to bring about the rapid and permanent
advance toward the much desired and highly satisfactory goal,
that of financial self-support.''
The results of such wise oversight are summarized by Dr. Adams
as follows: "There have been completed and dedicated free of
debt, within the Assembly's year, twenty-five church buildings
and there are now in j^rocess of erection eight additional churches.
" Our spiritual growth has been very encouraging. Evangelistic
efforts in our Synod, conducted by our pastors and our pastors-at-
large, have brought forth fruit in large measure during the past
year. One thousand members have been added to our aid-receiving
1898.] BOARD OF HOME MISSIONS. 19
churches on profession of faith, and ten churches organized. We
have greatly increased the number of pastors and correspondingly
decreased the number of stated supplies, and so we report within
the year twenty-three installations.
IOWA.
With conscientious fidelity this Synod has striven to reach self-
support. By rigid economy, cutting down applications for aid to
the limit of possible endurance, by most resolute efforts at self-
help, by grouping the aid-receiving churches to the verge of ruin
and by resisting appeals from neglected communities for new work,
the point of self-support was almost reached.
Iowa is an agricultural State with no large commercial city or
manufacturing interests, and while it is exempt from those evils
which are peculiar to large cities, it has not the advantage of large
churches and wealthy individual givers. The financial achieve-
ment of this Synod is therefore the aggregate of moderate sums
and the result of faithful work.
Respecting our growth, Dr. Bailey says : "We have organized
ten churches in the past year, but not one of them lays an
additional dollar of burden upon the treasury of the Board. We
could have organized nearly as many more with profit if we could
have supported men on them. A large number of blessed ingather-
ings on our Home Missionary fields tells of the fidelity of our mis-
sionaries and of the blessing of God upon their efforts. To keep
our work going has required a great deal of self-denial on the part
of our missionaries and the people, too.
"I will mention two instances that are full of encouragement.
At Paralta, where no services had been held for a long time,
through the efforts of one of our Sunday- School Missionaries more
than a hundred were gathered into the fold and a new house of
worship erected and paid for. The second — an instance of a dead
church brought into life — is at Albion, in Waterloo Presbytery,
which has been without any services at all for two years. I sent a
young man from the seminary there for the summer, and he lived
without aid from the Board because he could not get it. Now we
have a minister on the field, and as the result of a series of meet-
ings, in which he was assisted by one of our Sunday- School Mis-
sionaries, there was an ingathering of about sixty, and the church
promises to become very nearly, if not quite, selfrsupporting, at
once. Now, if we had means to send the men, cases like this
could have been duplicated over the State.
20 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE [1898.
" I have in my hand to-day an appeal for new work at Ottosen, a
little town jnst starting with fine promise, bnt with no church. The
people are api^ealing to us to organize, and we are simply trem-
bling lest if we do it we shall not be able to get the money to sup-
port a minister, and yet in this case I think we shall take the
responsibility and trust in the Lord. Another place, George, in
Lyon County, is api^ealing with such force as to make a man's
heart break. There is no English- si^eaking church in the town, of
X)erhaps 600 people."
Our ninety-nine missionaries have preached the Gospel in four
different languages to 146 different churches, besides sixty sta-
tions, where as yet churches have not been organized. There have
been added to these missionary churches by profession of faith a
full thousand, and by certificate nearly five hundred, making a
total of fifteen hundred. They have in their churches a total
membership of 8,200, and their Sabbath- School enrollment is
10,700. About half the missionaries are settled pastors and about
half are stated supplies. In addition to these men, who have been
under appointment of the Board, we have used thirteen stu-
dents, or undergraduates from the seminaries, for periods ranging
from one to four months. The work of all these put together
makes an aggregate of ninety years of labor hj our missionaries
and these student helpers. The student work has been excep-
tionally profitable during the year, and, though under the care of
the Home Mission Committee, has not cost the Board one cent.
During the year two churches have been disbanded, both of them
old organizations, now deserted because of changing centres of
population. Neither had any j)roi)erty, and each represented a
very small membership.
During the year eight churches, either singly or in groups, have
come to self-sui^port, saving the Board an aggregate of $525.
There have been eight new church buildings erected at a total cost
of $21,800 — not all of these, of course, on missionary fields — and
nine manses at a total cost of $10,800, increasing our church prop-
erty by the sum of $32,600, which is not bad for this hard year.
Nine new churches have been organized.
MISSOURI.
Tills State stands fifth in the Union as to population. Lying in

and the productive West, with extensive agricultural and mineral
resources, Missouri has grown great. Home Mission work in this
189S.] BOARD OF HOME MISSIONS. 21
State is just now in a most interesting period of its dev^elopment.
The Presbyterian Church has been among its most imj)ortant con-
structive forces from the first. Its missions and educational insti-
tutions were early establislied in many parts. But great, unoccu-
pied regions now call for more men and more means than during
any other year in the history of the Synod.
" There are over forty counties in the State," says Dr. Mccolls,
"in Avhich our Church has no organization, and there are also the
mining regions, with their large poj)ulation, in which we have
scarcely a missionary."
The problem of the cities and the needs of the agricultural dis-
tricts have retarded the progress of the Synod toward self-support ;
but decided advancement has been made by churches and young
people's societies in their contributions to the Board, while the
aid-receiving churches have been steadily reducing their requi-
sitions for help. Increasing gifts of the churches to the Board, and
the diminishing amounts of aid required are rapidly approaching,
so that this Synod will reach the point of self-support at an early
day.
As the Synod was without the services of a Synodical Missionary
during the year, there has been no united work among the several
Presbyteries either in supplying destitute fields or in holding mis-
sionary conventions, but the Synod strenuously urges upon the
churches the importance of extending the work of Home Missions
Avithin its bounds and calls upon them to increase the amounts of
their gifts during the coming year, so that the average per mem-
ber shall be at least sixty-five cents.
NORTH DAKOTA.
The progress of our work in this Synod during the past year has
not differed in any marked degree from that of former years.
There has been a gratifying gain in the contributions to the Board
and diminution in the amount of aid required. Conditions are
favorable for rapid advancement along all lines of church work.
This State has a larger j)roportion of foreigners in its poj^ulation
than any other in the Union. But the elements are largely of the
kinds which are most readily Americanized and assimilated. In
promoting the various interests of this rapidly develof)ing State
the Church has been a potent factor. Few changes have occurred
among our missionaries. Those who have left have been compelled
to do so because of inadequate support. The churches are generally

small and Aveak and the distances between tlieni so great as to make
grouping impracticable. But the missionaries, with fidelity to their
sacred trust, have wrought w^ith good results. Evangelistic services
have been held in many parts of the State, notably at Grafton,
where forty conversions were reported.
The Synod saw fit to discontinue the office of Synodical Mission-
ary last year and to commit the duties which usually devolve upon
it to the Standing Committee of Home Missions. The experi-
ment is of too short duration to determine its effect.
Rev. E. J. Lindsey and his native helpers are meeting with
marked success in their work among the Indians. About forty
have recently expressed a desire to live as Christians.
A correspondent writes: — "In visiting with the missionary I
was glad to mark the difference between the homes of the Christian
Indian and the homes of those who are still heathen. I shared
the hospitality of the former and in cooking and cleanliness found
them in advance of some of the white people whom I have visited.''
SOUTH DAKOTA.
South Dakota reports this year a larger increase of church mem-
bership and larger contributions to the benevolent causes of the
Church than in any previous year in the history of the Synod.
"Material conditions," says Dr. Carson, "are greatly improved
and immigration has set in afresh with the prospect of larger
demands for the extension of church and mission work. Material
industries have become much better adjusted to the character of soil
and climate, and both mining and agricultural interests are more
remunerative. The Black Hills gold industry alone now yields
over nine millions of dollars a year and is steadily increasing.
' ' While the Lord has sanctified straitened finances to the good of
not a few of our churches, yet for lack of help from Home Mission
funds in four houses of worship we have not been able to maintain
any services for over two years and have lost ground in half a
dozen other fields formerly occupied. We have also been com-
pelled to decline invitations and desirable opportunities in many
other places — among them a town of over five thousand people,
the second in importance in the State, and having no Presbyterian
church.
" We still have difficulty to induce suitable ministers to settle
in rural parishes ; consequently our country population is largely
neo;lected."
1898.] BOARD OF HOME MISSIONS. 23
This Synod needs 20^ more Home Mission money for the coming
church year tlian was apportioned for the year just closing.
South Dakota felt keenly the cut in appropriations which the
Board was compelled to make. In consequence of this cut the
Synod lost three ministers, and reports fewer licentiates and candi-
dates for the udnistry. The contributions to the Boards of the
Church have fallen off in consequence of the increased burden of
self-support. But there is a gain in the number of churches, the
church membership, houses of worship, manses, the value of
church property in the aggregate, and in contributions toward
congregational expenses.
NEBRASKA.
Retrenchment has not been an unmixed evil in this State.
While our Church has been restrained from entering many inviting
and promising fields, the employment of evangelists among
churches that otherwise would have been neglected has resulted
in strengthening them and adding large numbers to their member-
ship. One church that seemed to be dying has been revived and
now reports 57 accssions on profession. Another church has just
reported 30 members received.
The ministers of this State, inured to hardship and self-denial
through recent years of drought, have wrought valiantly and with-
out complaint under the pressure which was laid upon the
dependent churches, and seven have struggled up to self-support.
But the evils of our straitened circumstances have been painfully
manifest. "In one case," says Dr Sexton, " an appropriation of
fifty dollars would have kept a faithful minister on a field where
three country churches were grouped together and served by him
with great regularity and with acceptance to the people. Another
church served by an ordained minister is about to lose him, when
an appropriation of $150 would have kept him on the field serving
two churches, conveniently grouped."
Only four churches within the bounds of as many Presbyteries
have been organized during the year. But church buildings have
been erected and debts of several churches j^aid.
There are fifty-one vacant churches, only three of which are self-
supporting. The forty-eight Home Mission churches can be
advantageously grouped under twenty-three ministers. The
ministers are available, but the money is lacking. These churches
raise in the aggregate toward self-sup])ort $7,825 and need help
from the Board to the amount of 87,875. Twenty-six theological

students have rendered valuable service in this State at compara-
tively little exi^ense to the Board.
KANSAS.
The high character which Kansas has maintained ever since
its settlement on a great moral issue is at once a help and a
hindrance to the progress of the Church. It affords happy exemp-
tions from certain great evils characteristic of many of our States,
but it begets a complacency in these exemptions as supplying all
needful help in morals and religion without the agency of the
Gospel.
The work in Kansas has always given fair returns for appro-
priations made in its behalf, but during the past year an exciting
political campaign was unfavorable to aggressive work, and this
Synod reached the lowest mark of the decade in the number of
conversions. This State has felt keenly the loss of 100,000 esti-
mable citizens, who have been attracted to Oklahoma since that
Territory was thrown ojDen to settlement. Many of its churches
which might otherwise have reached self-support have suffered
much from the consequent decimation in their membership.
While this change of population has weakened the churches in
Kansas, it has helped organize as many new ones in Oklahoma,
thus doubling the number of churches for the Board to help.
Under the management of Dr. Fleming and the Presbyterial
Committees much money has been saved. Churches that were by
removals rendered too weak to justify their existence have been
dissolved, and a wise system of grouping has saved men and
money.
Dr. Fleming says : ' ' Owing to the hard times incident to
repeated crop failures in Kansas and the general financial
depression in the whole country, as well as to the straitened
circumstances of the Board of Home Missions, we have been com-
pelled to enlarge our groux^ing of churches almost to the point of
disaster.
"Besides, a general reduction of salaries has resulted in driving
from us the strong men who are ever needed to build upon the
mission field of the Church. It is false economy to waste mission
money on weak men, however good they may be. It is the general
consensus of opinion that the time has come when we must con-
centrate our efforts in maintaining stronger men, even if it does cost
a little more, if we are to achieve desirable results. To do this our
1S98. I BOARD OF HOME MISSIONS. 25
grants from the Home Board will have to be increased, for a time
at least, in our more promising tields.
" We need to enlarge our work very materially by sending true
and orthodox preachers all through the rural regions. The battle
has been to hold our own in the last ten years. The coming
decade ought to teem with victories for 'Christ and the Church.'
We shall need ten men for our work this spring, but I have at
least two score now applying for work. If we had the money to
command them I could within a month supply every vacancy in
the Synod."
Tlie si)irit of the Synod of Kansas found expression in the fol-
lowing recommendation of its Standing Committee on Home
Missions: "That we ask our hard pressed missionaries to fight
on, trusting in the Lord fc»r. special help when mission Boards
fail, and that we all promise one another to divide and subdivide
of our means for this cause rather than retreat a second time.
That the Presbyteries be urged to hold missionary conferences
this fall, as recommended by the last Assembly."
INDIAN TERKITORY AND OKLAHOMA.
This frontier Synod already has four churches that are self-
supporting and others advancing with firm and steady steps in
that direction. The year has been marked with decided progress.
]S'o aggressive work has been attempted, not from lack of oppor-
tunity, but from lack of financial aid. Only two churches have
been organized ; one of these is composed of twelve full blood
Seminoles.
Ten revivals are reported which resulted in more than 100 acces-
sions on profession of faith to the churches in which the meetings
were held. The entire Synod has received over 600 members, of
which 359 were on profession. The advance in benevolent contri-
butions has been marked. The amount raised for all purposes
was $22,226, an average of $6.50 per communicant, an advance in
the aggregate of $9,000 in three years. The careful, systematic
work which brought this about is further manifested in the
fact that only eleven churches in the Synod failed to contribute to
all the Boards, two of which churches were among the full blood
Seminoles. Two years ago there were forty non-contributing
churches. In order to a fair appreciation of these good results
it is necessary to bear in mind that the population of these two
Territories is most heterogeneous. Besides the six Indian nations
26 AjS^nual report of the [1898,
there are freedmen from the South; Negroes, formerly slaves of
the Indian nations; nomadic whites of the Cracker element; the
mixed nationalities that compose the usual frontier i:)opulation,
and the very best of our enterprising American people.
The Rev. F. W. Hawley, the young Synodical Missionary, says
in his report: ''We have been able to hold the work we have
organized, but not to finish it as it ought to be finished. Some of
our men are compelled to minister to four, five, or even six
churches, and with such a scattered field services are necessarily
more or less irregular, and results not what we might hope for.
Our men have borne the burden of the work nobly without
complaint.
' ' But we have reached a point now where we can no longer be
satisfied with simply holding on to what work we have. Crops
were unusually good last year, and the indications this Spring are
encouraging for another good year. Many people are looking
toward these two Territories, and many are coming ; the towns are
filling up, the farms are all occupied (in the better part of Okla-
homa), new railroads are being built, towns are springing up along
the roads ; almost every week a new railroad is projected and
charter granted. Farms that were cotton or corn fields a few weeks
ago are now converted into town lots, and thriving towns are build-
ing. The same will be repeated on every new line of railroad, and
we confidently believe that many new towns will spring into
existence during the next twelve months. Into these towns we
must send our men. Aside from this, we ought not longer to lend
a deaf ear to the plea which comes to us from country neighbor-
hoods. These communities are in need of the Gospel, and many
such places are calling loudly for a Presbyterian church,
" We have done some country work, but far less than we
might do. There are great numbers of young people growing up
in those communities who ought to be reached now by our Church.
And we could organize hopeful churches in a dozen such places, if
we had men to take charge of the work and the money to support
them.
' ' There are a few things that we are trying hard to do in this
Synod : First, to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ in no biased,
sectarian way, but to recognize and encourage the work of any
man or church that preaches Salvation by the blood of Christ.
Second, to observe rules of comity as much as possible. Thii-d,
to hold strategic points and branch out from these as we are able.

do the work alone."
MONTANA.
This Synod has suffered a great loss in the retirement of Hev.
A. K. Baird, D. D., the Synodical Missionary, from the work, on
account of ill-health. His i^lace, however, has been ably filled by the
Kev. F. H. Gwynne, D. D., pastor of the First Church of Great
Falls.
This young State has vast resources in its mineral mountains,
its extensive agricultural valleys and its practically unlimited
cattle ranges. New communities are forming all over these
regions. There may be rough ungodly men who fear not God nor
regard man, but they welcome the missionary, hear him gladly
and contribute toward his support.
The larger cities of the State are requiring second and third
churches. This is notably true in Butte, where we have two fine
flourishing churches. A third has been formed under most favor-
able conditions. An edifice seating 200 has been erected and is
free from debt. There are 19 enrolled members, a Sabbath School
of SO and a Young People's Society of 40. This fiock is without a
shepherd. They have been waiting for more than a year for the
Board to send them a minister and are ready to pay one-half
his salary.
Dr. Gwynne says : " The short time I have been in the work in
this State I have been grieved with the spiritual destitution I have
witnessed. Ten places that would respond readily to us are now
waiting for our entry.
"There has been a favorable growth in the membership of the
churches, but no large ingathering excei)t at Great Falls, where,
following a series of union meetings, the First Church at one com-
munion service received — nearly all on confession — 100 members.
' ' Three church buildings have been erected during the year. Two
of these were in the City of Butte. The First Church has dedi-
cated a beautiful structure at a cost of about $25, 000, including a
fine pipe organ, which cost $3,000. The Immanuel Church is a
neat building, costing $4,000— not yet dedicated, as there remains
a debt of $700. The little church at Basin, in the Butte Presby-
28 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE [1898.
tery, cost about $1,500, and was paid for at dedication. This is a
revived mining camp, Jiist building up, with a wide-awake little
church.
' ' Five churches that were vacant have been supplied during the
year. Other places are calling for our services, such as Belt, a
coal mining camp, with a population of 4,000, with many relapsed
Presbyterians ; Sand Coulee, with 1,200 population, and three
other openings equally promising, which we cannot enter, not for
want of men, for they are waiting a call, but because we have no
means, and the Board cannot help us. Would that the Church-
at-large could hear the appeal of so many throughout this State to
the Father of Mercies, saying : ' No man careth for our souls.'
Montana will grow. The wool bringing a good price, gold being
discovered in several places in paying quantities, silver being in
somewhat better demand, Montana must grow at a more rapid
rate this year. Yet, unless by the removal of the debt on your
Board you will be able to render us more generous assistance,
we can not even hold what we now possess, much less enter the
many doors now opening."
COLORADO.
Results in Colorado have always justified the effort and money
expended within its bounds, and never more than during the year
just closed. Situated among the great mineral mountains that
were earliest to yield their rich treasures to the frontiersmen, and
most continuous in the annually increasing amounts of the precious
metals, this State has attracted capital in large sums and men of
the very best type. Its vast mining, manufacturing and com-
mercial interests have built great cities and quickened the pulse of
smaller communities. The Home Missionary is found in the min-
ing camps and new villages giving character to social and relig-
ious life in their formative period. But the growth of our Church
in this State has been held in check by the Board's limited
power to heljD.
Dr. Kirk wood says: "We have ample work for fifteen more
men than are now employed. If the Board could only assist us
fully this year I am certain it could be made the most prosperous
year in our history as a Synod.
' ' For three years we have been reaching out from every avail-
able centre and adding to the burdens of every willing pastor by
organizing adjacent fields and placing them in hands that were
already full. We have been obliged to forego other .fields that

were more important because no one lived near enough to care for
the infant church. Some of these fiekls have been lost to us, but
others remain and still others are opening uj). We are yet hoiDing
the Board may be able to come to our rescue. This is our situation.
We have come as far as we can on this tide; we are waiting for the
next wave to carry us farther; you will grant, I think, that we
are but 'idly waiting.' "
NEW MEXICO AND ARIZONA.
There has been a net gain in church membership of 150 during
the j)ast year. In a community in Arizona where there was neither
church nor ordained minister a remarkable revival occurred as
the result of the labors of a devout young evangelist. Nearly one
hundred conversions are reported and a church of ninety members
was organized.
The year has j)resented glorious opportunities, and the desire
to go in and possess the land has been hardly restrained. The
Synod consists of three Presbyteries, with fifty-four churches,
enrolling 2,216 members. Under existing conditions it is greatly
to their credit that their contributions for all church purposes
amounted to $13,915 — an average of $6.27 per member.
The Synod at its last meeting recommended : " That the church
officers should meet near the beginning of each church year and
confer as to the standing of their congregations with regard to the
support of the ministry in their midst and the progress of the
Church by the due support of all the work in which Christ is call-
ing us to engage and the measures which should be adopted for
the most effective service for Christ in and by our work."
A suitable successor to the late Rev. James A. Menaul has been
found in the Rev. R. M. Craig, who was elected to the office of
Sjaiodical Missionary last fall.
Twelve evangelists have been employed during the year in the
Mexican work, for which the Board could not provide a sufficient
number of ordained ministers. The crying need of this field is
indicated by an incident related by Mr. Craig : "I preached at Los
Lentes one evening ; there were about 175 persons in the building
and about fifty outside. After a service of an hour and a quarter
I dismissed the congregation, but the i3eople would not go away
until Mr. Perea had preached and Mr. Chavez, who was with us,
had preached and I had again addressed them. So great was their
desire to hear the story of Salvation."
30 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE [1898.
Mr. Craig says in his report : " I am constantly hearing of settle-
ments that have no religious services. Clifton and Morenci, in
Arizona, with a population of between 4,500 and 5,000 people, I
found with no church or minister of any denomination. I was told
that the priest goes once a month — on joay day — but that is all they
see of him. In this rich and interesting camp I found a goodly
number of Americans and Scotchmen. I held a number of services,
stayed over Sabbath and preached in both places, and on Monday
saw the superintendents of the companies, who freely granted me
$600 a year for the support of a missionary. The people will easily
raise the rest. Already we have a missionary on the field, and .
although we have asked the Board for help, it is only for six
months, and I expect at the end of that time to see a self-support-
ing congregation at this point."
UTAH.
The promises of right living and fair dealing made by the
Mormon hierarchy as a condition of admittance into the Union
have not been fulfilled. That peculiar government sits defiantly
entrenched in the very heart of our nation, perpetuating an
Oriental system of marriage and thus striking at the family, exer-
cising arbitrary power over its own subjects and restricting the
rights of others by obstructing the free exercise of religion in
Utah. Present conditions emphasize the need of the Gospel as the
only corrective, — and yet no new work has been attempted in Utah
since the beginning of the times of depression.
This Synod is composed of the Presbyteries of Boise and Kendall,
covering all the State of Idaho (except the ' ' Panhandle ' ' ) and the
Presbytery of Utah.
The Presbytery of Boise embraces the western half of Idaho, in
which the capital is located. There are eight churches all depend-
ent upon the Board except the first church of Boise City. With
one exception they are located in three small counties, while the
counties of Washington, Owyhee, Lincoln, Blaine, Custer and
Elmore, comprising half of the State, are untouched, except by a
single organization in Blaine County. Idaho City, Central City,
and Placerville, in a mining region, are without a single Protestant
church. A Romish priest visits the Catholics occasionally. Our
Sunday-school missionary has done good work there. The peojDle
have been begging for a missionary for years. Considerable sup-
port, perhaps one-third or one-half, could be secured for an ener-

getic young man. The clinrches of LoAver Boise and St. Anthony
have been organized, but Avithout additional expense to the Board.
RosAvell, in the Avestern part of Canyon County, has a good
congregation gathered aAwaitiug organization, and a feAv miles aAv^ay
is a school-house full of people.
We haA^e not added to our missionary force in this Presbytery
for years. The only other denomination in any of these fields is a
small Episcopal church in OAvyhee County and a small M. E.
Church in Lincoln County.
The Presbytery of Utah embraces that A\diole State and a small
portion of Wyoming. The First Church of Salt Lake City is the
only self-supporting church in this Presbytery. The First Church
in Ogden once reached that point, but the financial breakdoAvn of
the country almost disrupted our AA^ork there and crippled it so
that it has been receiving from one-third to one-fourth of its
support from the Board. In this Presbytery the mission school
is the right arm of our mission Avork. We have seven properties
equipped for school Avork the doors of Avhich have been closed.
In one of these, Spanish Fork, Avliere the children of our Christian
families have been saved from the Mormon schools by the
strenuous efforts of the minister, school has been carried on this
year by private enterj^rise, outside of aid from the Board. The
public schools at this place are in the hands of Mormon trustees
and teachers.
The Presbytery of Kendall covers the southeastern part of
the State of Idaho, and extends into AVyoming, including the
Avestern fourth of that State, also the YelloAvstone Park. This
territory is immense, and settlements Avith a large Mormon element
are rapidly foraiing all over it. The County of Fremont, in the
northeastern part, the finest agricultural county in the State, is
125 by 80 miles, Avith a i^opulation of from 12,000 to 15,000 people.
A little over a year ago a Presbyterian church AA^as organized in
St. Anthony, the county seat, and supplied for eight months by
Dr. Wishard, the Synodical Missionary, who made a journey each
time of about 500 miles.
This Synod cries out almost in desjiair for fourteen neAv men.
The Idaho part of it must have nine men for Avork Avhich could
Avell employ tAAice the number. Utah modestly appeals for five.
But three more are needed to replace men Avho have retired.
Dr. Wishard says — "We are in the vortex of the Home Mission
battle. The Church has pushed out over Nebraska into Wyoming

and Colorado on the east, and has swung around us and taken
strong hold on the coast, and is moving the lines of battle up from
all sides toward this field of conflict. East, west, north and south
the Church is moving slowly in the direction of Utah, loJtere Satan^ s
seat is. Here the battle must be successfully fought, or the Mor-
mon x^ropaganda will plant ten or twelve Senators in the Congress
of the United States. Mormonism practically holds the balance
of power in four States and is i^ushing for the same result in two
Territories.
" Let me onlj^ add that our converts are financially boycotted in
Utah, so that many of them must seek homes in other States.
Hence we build slowly. Yet last year, in proportion to member-
ship, our Synod stood seventh in the thirty- two Synods in the
number of additions by profession and tenth in contributions to
Home Missions."
CALIFORNIA.
This great State constantly surprises the world with its growth,
its enteri^rises and its develoi^ments. Its varied and abundant
material resources continue to attract capital in vast amounts and
enterj)rising people in great numbers. The equable climate con-
tinues to invite multitudes, among whom are many excellent
ministers whose influence and professional services materially aid
the Church in overtaking its long neglected work. The State in
its growth had run away from the Church in the early decades
of its history and communities in their formative period had grown
worldly and forgotten the Sabbath. Material prosperity and social
customs greatly aggravated the discouragements which confronted
the Church. But recent years have marked a gradual strengthening
of the relative power of the Church. This is manifest in the prog-
ress of the Synod toward self-support. Two years ago the con-
tributions of the churches, Sabbath schools and societies to Home
Missions amounted to two-thirds as much as the Synod received
from the Board. They amounted last year to four-fifths, an
encouraging advance in face of the financial depression which Cali-
fornia felt in common w^th all the States of the Union. As a
further means of relieving the Board a Sy nodical Fund has been
created which, though not yet large, is growing in favor among
the churches. The Presbyteries of Los Angeles, Oakland and
San Francisco report large accessions to church membership.

:No Synod lias been more zealous for the spiritual interests of
the State which it covers than this. The aggressive spirit has
animated its Home Mission Committees, and with a most conserva-
tive demand upon the treasury of the Board and a most pro-
gressive effort to overtake long neglected work, they have succeeded
in employing lifty-one missionaries, an increase of five over the
preceding- year. The strong churches have helped the weak, besides
contributing to the Board in increasing amounts. Its cities are
growing, with outlying suburbs wdiich require additional churches.
Its seacoast towns, though not large, have long suffered for
adequate means of grace. Its larger interior towns require second
and third churches, but unaided they are unable to provide them.
Its eastern counties, which were long the frontier of the returning
tide of population from the Pacific coast, have been but partially
explored by missionary agencies, extensive areas being without
resident ministers of any denomination. The spirit, ability and
self-denying efforts of the churches of this Synod merit more
generous siii^ply of men and means. It will not be strange if these
neglected communities fall an easy prey to the emissaries of Mor-
monism and other un-American and anti-Christian sects. By
the wise management and co-operation of the Synod's Committee
with the retiring Synodical Missionary, the Rev. W. 0. Forbes, all
the aid-receiving churches in the Synod for which the Board was
able to make appropriations have been supplied fully or in part.
The conditions in Oregon are now favorable for the most
economical and successful mission work if the Board can extend a
reasonable amount of additional aid. Revivals have occurred in
many parts of the State and churches have reported large
accessions.
One missionary writes : "It seemed to me at times as though
God just put His hand into His bosom and refused to vindicate
His own cause. Though I prophesied as I was commanded, I did
it often with a heavy heart and then stood still to see the salvation
of the Lord. Yet even these trials of faith are exceedingly
precious to me, for they have taught me to trust my Master when
I cannot trace Him. The clouds which hung along the horizon
where heaven and earth are meeting have begun to disappear and
the future of our Church is unusually bright and hopeful. Last
Sabbath we received thii-teen into the fellowship of the people of
God. Twelve of these were on profession of faith and one by letter.
34 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE [1898.
All were adults hut one, seven being heads of families ; live
adults received the ordinance of baptism and three children were
also baptized. The high social standing of those received makes
this the most encouraging accession the Church has had for years.
We exi)ect to receive a number of others during the coming
month. ' '
'' The State has hardly been touched in its extent by our work,"
savs Mr. Forbes. "There are nine counties, some of them
from live to nine thousand square miles in area, in which Presby-
terianism has not yet been planted. In at least one county
through which I passed, with a population of 6,000, there is no
clergyman of any denomination, and the little the people get
of the Gospel is by occasional preachers — for the most part
irresponsible. In one county of 10,000 square miles area we have
two churches under one missionary, the only ordained minister
in the county, whose field covers a region fifty miles long and
twenty or twenty-live miles wide. In one sea-coast section four
ministers are i3reaching regularly at seventeen different places, and
vet not beginning to meet the requirements. In one of these towns,
a county seat, the most vigorous and successful work done was
by a man calling himself a ' fallen angel ' and his church ' The
Redeemed of Israel.' Another town in this section, a mining
town of 400 population, had no Sunday school when I visited it, and
no church and no church service b}' any minister, except a monthly
week-night service by our missionary. One of these four mission-
aries preaches at five jioints, twenty miles up and down a river,
and then eighteen miles oft' in the woods. The meetings along the
river he makes with boat, and the appointments go with the tide ;
and then he tramjDs thirteen miles to the first church and five miles
on to the next, and yet says he has no hardships in his field."
WASHINGTON.
This State, with its fabulous resources of soil, of forests, of
mineral mountains, of fishing streams, and a climate varied from
the warm, humid coast to the arid plains and snow-capi)ed moun-
tains, has attracted multitudes of the most intelligent and enter-
prising elements of our American population. Villages have come
into being and developed into cities with amazing rapidity. The
close employment of all available capital in the new and rapidly
developing industries left the people illy prepared for the financial
depression which, spreading all over our country, fell heavily here.
Consequently a very large number of its churches were dependent
1898.] noAIM) OF IIO.MK MISSIONS. 35
upon the Board. Strenuous efforts to reduce the demands upon
the Board's treasui^v to the lowest x>ossib]e amount were made hj
the Avise and conscientious men who constituted the Committees
on Home Missions, aided by the experience and wisdom of the
Synodical Missionary, in tlie rigid application of the rules of
comity, the wise grouping of the churches and the closest cutting
of salaries. Fifty-eight churches were served by twenty-four
ministers. In some cases one minister served as many as five
churches. The 117 churches of the Synod were served by seventy-
six ministers. The Presbytery of Spokane grouped all but four
of its twenty-nine churches. Walla Walla Presbytery reports its
churches too far distant from one another for grouping. The
Presbytery of Puget Sound rex)orts grouping perilous to the
existence of its churches.
Though finances were uncertain, in no previous year has so
much been raised on the field. To Home Missions the Synod gave
last year $2,263, 26^ cents per member. Of this amount the Pres-
bytery of Spokane gave $205, or 16 cents per member ; Olympia,
$706, or 34| cents per member ; Puget Sound, $827, or 47^ cents per
member; and Walla Walla $521, or 48y\r cents per member.
The excitement in regard to the Alaska gold fields has nuiteri-
ally affected the interests of Washington both favorably and
unfavorably. Dr. Gunn w^rites : " Tacoma and Seattle are reaping a
rich harvest, but it will be many months before the quickening
will be general. In most of the smaller places the depression of
the present is even greater than heretofore. The effect on our
churches will be an increased strain for months. Everyone is
hoping that with the opening of summer the out^Dut of the Yukon
mines Avill make money abundant ; but these hopes may end in
•disa^jpointment. These violent changes have precipitated upon
us a variety of trials which we could not foresee, and consequently
for which we could not fully prepare. The announcement of the
construction of a new railway to transect the western part of the
■State of Washington for over 300 miles awakens the expectation
of large demands upon us for nev/ work, as it passes through the
most populous region, and will doubtless create many new centres.
" The salaries of our missionaries have been reduced to the lowest
l^oint. The work has been reduced to great compactness by group-
ing ; and the missionaries have all done more for less pay than
heretofore. I have heard no murmuring among them. The people
have uniformly appreciated their self-sacrifice. Only one or two
36 ANNUAL HEPOKT OF THE [1898.
very small clinrclies have been dissolved in tlie last three years. One
has been temporarily suspended by mountain floods. During the
year six new churches have been added to our rolls and four new
church buildings have been acquired. We look upon this year as
the crisis and hope thereafter for much more rapid development.
There are vast regions, however, which we have not yet touched,
especially on the inlands of Puget Sound and the western penin-
sula. These will make demands upon us for j^ears to come."
Dr. Mackey, Chairman of the Synod's Committee, says in his
report : ' ' The past year has been a fruitful one as to additions by
profession of faith. Especially is this true of the Presbytery of
Walla Walla, where large additions are reported in six churches^
one of them, Moscow, receiving forty-seven."
From all parts of our field come calls for enlargement of work,
which cannot be heeded because of insufficient funds at our
disposal. Spokane Presbytery should have twice the amount the
Board agrees to furnish, and Puget Sound Presbytery mentions
the imperative need of five additional missionaries to hold and
build up outposts.
Now is the critical time, the time to mold religiously those
forming communities. A few years hence the opportunity will ))e
ours no longer.
ALASKA.
The far away Presbytery of Alaska, vv'ith but nine ministers on its
roll, has furnished the General Assembly a Moderator, and the
great Territory a Governor. The eight churches have an enroll-
ment of nearly 1,000 members. The smallest tv\'o are composed of
white members, the one at Sitka and tlie other at Juneau. The
six churches of natives are situated at Sitka, Juneau. Wrangi^l,
Jackson, Chilcat and Hoonah, and are the direct outgrowth of the
school work so ably and successfully carried on l)y our mission
teachers. The ministers in charge of these congregations enjoy
the esteem and confidence of the natives to an almost unlimited
extent.
A single paragraph from a recent report of the Flev. A. E. Austin
tells the story of progress: "Peter Simpson and family are
staying in Sitka this AVinter. He and his wife are both graduates of
our school. They have three beautiful children. The youngest
two were baptised at our last communion, and as Grandfather and
Grandmother Sloan came forward to take tlie children by the hand

:it tlie close of the service, their faces beaming with joy, I thought
<tf the time when I lirst met them, both of them poor heathen
• Ininkai'ds. The contrast sent a thrill of joy through my soul that
nothing this side of heaven can equal. All the gold of Klondyke
<'jninot x)urchase it. What a comfort to think that such Christian
homes are sxHinging nyi in dark Alaska."
The Klondyke excitement is a mixture of good and evil in its
effect upon our missions. It has brought a season of material pros-
perity to the natives who obtain high wages for packing over the
passes. Some of the young men receive still higher wages as car-
l)enters, blacksmiths, etc. But many return to their old homes, if
they return at all, much demoralized by reason of contact with
vicious whites.
Mr. L. M. Stevenson, who opened the ndssion among the Eskimos
at Point Barrow in 1890, was relieved last Sunmier by Dr. and Mrs.
Marsh. Mr. Stevenson returned to his family at Versailles, Ohio,
having accomplished a great work. Dr. Marsh wrote by the return-
ing steamer that after three weeks' careful inspection of the mis-
sion he found 160 natives in regular attendance at the preaching-
service, 140 at week-day prayer-meeting and Sabbath school, and
that he had found 114 ready to be organized as a Young People's
Society of Christian Endeavor. The most remarkable thing about
it all was the degree of intelligence attained by these natives in so
short a time. The school-house in which the congregation of 160
were crowded was intended to accommodate fifty persons. Desir-
ing to erect a church building exclusively for divine service, the
natives have subscribed whalebone, ivory and bear skins — in the
absence of money — sufficient to pay for it. They ask no help except
that the lumber and other materials be purchased and sent up at
their expense and that a builder be sent to erect the house. It is
quite i^ossible that they may support the work entirely next year,
paying in the products of sea and land hunting.
The Kloxdyke. — The First Church of Auburn, New York, and
the Third Church of Pittsburg, Pa., by special gifts enabled the
Board to send two missionaries to the Klondyke regions. It was
desired that one of the missionaries should be a physician. The
Rev. S. Hall Young, of Wooster, Ohio, and the Rev. Geo. A.
McEwen, M.D., of Farmington, Mo., offered their services, and
were promptly sent. They sailed from Tacoma August 22, 1897, and
reached Dawson City the 8th of October. They were cordially
received by the miners, and began their work at once. Generous
38
ANNUAL liJ-J'OUT OF TJIE
[1898.
contributions of the miners and the willing co-operation of many
of the citizens gave promise, at last accounts, of a profitable work
among the miners during the winter.
The multitudes that have collected at Dyea, Skagway and
Cooks Inlet call for missionaries. Our Board being unable ta
respond to the call, the Canadian Presbyterian Church has sent
to Skagway a most estimable minister, who has begun a good
work. There is a great demand for more ministers for these
crowded communities, and men are ready to go, but means for
their support are lacking.
I
THE INDIANS.
We have had a good year in our work among the Indians. No
new missions have been attempted, but all those already estab-
lished have grown stronger. Our organized Avork may be briefly
summarized.
We have churches among eighteen different tribes in ten States-
and three Territories.

In addition to the Indian ministers enumerated, there are many
Indian helpers and evangelists who preach under the direction of
the missionaries. Many of the Indian churches are .still under
the care of white ministers. The difference between the number
of churches and the number of Sabbath schools, also between the
number of cliurch members and the Sabbath school enrollment,
may be X'artially explained by the fact that the children of the
1898. ) BOARD OF JIOME MISSIONS. 39
cliurch members are largely in the boarding schools, where they
are enumerated in the membership of tlie white churches. Besides
the tigures given for tlie Indian Teiritory, there are scores, possibly
liundreds, of Indian members in the white churches of which no
account is here inade.
Our churches among the Nez Perces, the Umatillas and the
Spokanes rest on a basis of sixty years of faithful labor, the fruit-
fulness of which is attested by the eight churches with 656 members
and the eight Sabbath Schools with an enrollment of 537 scholars.
A recent revival in the Lapwai church, under the Indian pastor.
Rev. James Hines, resulted in seventy accessions. The founda-
tions of this work were laid by the Rev. Samuel Parker, Dr. Marcus
"Whitman and Rev. H. H. Spaulding, and cemented by the
blood of that martyr band who were massacred at Waiailatpu on
that historic November day in 1847.
It is gratifying to report that the Board has been able, by the
special help of the Third Church of Pittsburg, Pa., to maintain a
missionary on this tield who is specially qualified to train the In-
dian missionaries and to guide and help them in their work;
Though God in His providence has seen fit to remove by death the
Rev. Lowrie W. Sibbett, who had begun the work with great
promise, his place has been supplied by the Rev. C. M. McClain,
and the work goes on.
''One of the most pathetic calls for help," writes Rev. W. O.
Forbes, of Oregon, "comes from the poor Umatilla Indians in East
Oregon. Cash-Cash, the former chief, now an elder in our Church,
pleads with tears in his eyes that I send a minister to lead his
people in the ways of righteousness. And yet for years they have
been utterly neglected because of want of funds."
Rev. Chas. H. Cook, M.D., our venerable missionary who has
given more than a quarter of a century to the work among the
Pimas and Papagoes, rejoices in the abundant fruits of his labors.
''During the past year," he writes, "we were able to erect two new
churches, which gives us five churches among the Pima Indians,
with a total church membership of 350."
CITY EVANGELIZATION.
We have laid frequent stress on the necessity of special eifort
for the salvation of our cities. Many motives plead for it : the
value of souls, the progress of the Kingdom (for cities are always
strategic centres), the prosperity and safety of the cities them-
selves and of the entire country. There great populations become
40 ANNUAL EEPOKT OF THE [1898.
congested, and that which should impel healthful currents of life
throuo:hout the nation becomes a centre of disease and death. The
power of assimilation of foreign elements into the body politic
finds its severest test in our cities. Mixed elements are not neces-
sarily-hostile to national i)urity and strength. But only the Gospel
can prevent their becoming so. A tremendous resi^onsibility rests
on the Christian Church. It may be said, indeed, the strong
churches of strong cities must assume this responsibility. Self-
preservation pleads for their missionary zeal. And this is true.
And nobly are the churches of our older cities meeting these obli-
gations. They are themselves small Boards of Missions. They
are doing grand service through chapels and missions and various
benevolent institutions. They are spending immense sums for tlie
salvation of the city that are never reported in church statistics.
But there are many large cities that have sprung up so rajudly
as to preclude their present ability to overtake all their pressing
religious needs. Their churches are new ; in some cases scarce
beyond their own struggle for self-support ; in other cases not yet
trained to ideas and habits of missionary work. Around them
new and mixed multitudes are surging, and they cannot fill up
the measure of the moral needs of the community. The Board of
Home Missions comes in as their ally in their fight to cast tlie new
life into molds of Christian thought and service.
Nowhere are the elements of life so speedily precipitated into
crystals of changeless character as in our cities. AVhat is done for
them must be done quickly. A generation may be lost to Chris-
tian opportunity by the delay of half a decade. A score of cities
west of the Mississippi are taking shape. If the Church of Christ
wants a hand in determining that shape she has not a day to lose.
In less than a century we have built over four hundred cities —
many of them great cities — and the older and larger ones have been
rebuilt again and again. At the beginning of this century only
three per cent, of our population was urban— now about thirty per
cent. This tendency toward cities will not be less in the future
than in the past. It is going to be more. The Church must arise
and adapt her work to these new conditions.

OUR FORCES.
Our Cliiu'cli has reason to thank God for the character of the men
and the women in her missionary service. They have been true to
their place in times that have called for sacrifice. In labors they
have been more abundant.
8 (/nodical Missionaries. — They are charged with the work of
supplying destitute places with the means of grace, stimulating
d.ependent churches toward self-support, and supplying informa-
tion to the Board and the Church at large of the needs and
IDrogress of the work on mission fields. The work of our Synodical
Missionaries may be fitly represented by one of them, who writes :
^' The year has been exacting and manifold in duties and details
of work as any in the past. Into these I may not enter. Snffice it to
say, I have preached and presented the caiise of Home Missions
two hundred and twenty-five times. I have ceased to number pri-
vate interviews and consultations. I have written and dictated
over two thousand letters ; have introduced new men and re-ad-
justed men on the ground to new relations to the number of sixty ;
and have traveled by day and by night, by rail, stage coach and
private conveyance 29,000 miles. It is needless to say that this
has been done with much weariness of the flesh, and yet with
cheerfulness."
Consider the amount of labor thus performed by our nineteen
■Synodical missionaries ! Only eternity can measure the results.
Our Missionaries. — They have not only carried on their work
cheerfully under many hindrances, but in many cases out of their
poverty they have contributed with splendid generosity. Thus a
XDOor missionary sends $47 from his field for our cause, all but $3
of it given by himself and his wife.
Scarce a Avord of complaint comes to us on account of the neces-
sity for decreased appropriations ; but very many cheerful and
encouraging words from those who are bearing the heaviest bur-
dens. They are the advance guard of the army of our Church, and
prepare the way for all our victories.

Fastors-at-Large. — There are in many Presbyteries pastors-at-

"Board to supply vacant churches for which no permanent pro-
vision can be made. They are charged with the pastoral oversight
of these churches and the supply of destitute fields.
Mission TeacJiers.^ — In our Church education and the Gospel
belong together, as is shown more fully in another i^art of this
report. The teachers in our mission schools lay the foundations
for our churches. Their labors during the i^ast year have been
greatly blessed. They have not only taught day schools thoroughly
imbued with Christian truth, but in Sunday schools, chapel
services and personal visitation have heralded the missionary and
prepared for the church. The following statistics give but an
inadequate idea of the scope, strength and promise of this great
and grooving arm of our service.

woman's boakd.
We have called frequent attention to the splendid work being-
done by the women of our Church. This year has witnessed the
change of title of the "Woman's Executive Committee" to the
briefer and more delinite name of "The Woman's Board."
It is a department of the general work of the Board, It has a
separate treasury, the funds of which are gathered by the women
and children of the Church and administered by the Assembly' s
Board. They are applied to the special work of evangelization
which the Board could not otherwise prosecute under its charter.
Its fundamental work is that of education among what are called
"the exceptional i^opulations", although that phrase fails to
characterize the full extent of this arm of our service. It is carried
on among Alaskans, Indians, Mexicans, Mormons, and the
mountaineers of the South. The children and youth are the
promising material on which to work among these people. To the
old Indians we may give a gospel hope as they slip away from us;
Init the Indian boys and girls can be trained for Christian
citizenship.
The mature Mormons are entrenched in their strange superstition.
There is little hope that we shall reach them. But our schools win
and hold the children and face them toward a future at once
Christian and patriotic.
44 ANNUAL EPJPORT OF THE [1898.
The mountaineers in the "mountain back-yards" of Virginia,
North Carolina, Tennessee and Kentucky welcome a gospel
message because it is in line with their history, though their
struggle for bare existence keeps them out of the full inheritance
of Christian truth; but their children, with often splendid inherited
qualities, readily respond to the chance which a Christian school
gives them. Abraham Lincoln came from one of those mountain
cabins. Other Lincolns may be there waiting the hand of a
Christian teacher to open to them the door of opportunity. And
among the adults of those scattered and lonely cabins the missionary
teacher receives a welcome for the children's sake which would
not be extended to a minister. For those people have a traditional
hunger for knowledge and seek it for their children when conscious
it is too late for themselves.
Among the Mexicans the school work is also essential. They
will receive the Gospel only by way of the school -house. Jesuit
teaching has barred the door to the preacher. The school that wel-
comes the children gets the ear of the parents.
This work leads, however, to the establishment of churches. It
does it by the noble indirection of uplifting the life of the family,
organizing the Sabbath school and Christian Endeavor society —
those advance agents of the Church of Christ. More than seventy
churches have already been established as the direct result of the
school work. It is therefore a misconception to think of this part
of our Home Mission service as in any sense secular. The mission-
ary school is in effect a daily Sabbath school. The Bible is a daily
text-book and Christian influence is inwrought with the entire
work. The teachers are missionaries, preaching often in the most
effective and economic way.
Furthermore, the Woman's Board accepts the responsibility
to which the advance of its work leads by supj)orting pastors
and evangelists when the school rises into a mission church.
The Woman's Board raises all the money for the buildings
necessary for the work of the Board of Home Missions — not only
for its own schools and teachers' homes biit also for chapels and
manses on mission fields where the people cannot meet the con-
ditions of the Board of Church Erection. Property to the amount
of $750,000 has thus accrued to the Presbyterian Church and is
held by the Board in trust for the Woman's Board, or has been
turned over to the several Presbyteries covering the bounds of the
field.
1898.] BOARD OF HOME MISSIONS. 45
The organization of the Board is most thorough, so accounting in
large measure for the steady and generous streams which flow into
its treasury.
It is represented in every Presbytery by a strictly defined scope
and policy and is subject in all its appropriations and operations
to the Assembly' s Board. While it attends to all the details of its
system of mission schools, it does so under the direction of and in
perfect harmony with the Board of Home Missions, which h(^lds
all the titles of its property and administers all its funds.
The last General Assembly recommended the enlargement of the
evangelistic work of the AVoman's Board. In this connection it is
gratifying to state that during the past year it has carried, in
whole or in part, the support of missionaries and evangelists at a
cost of 88,580, and proposes in the coming year to care for all the
Alaskan work at a cost of $11,000 additional. But the evan-
gelistic phase of the service need not and must not curtail the
educational department, the peculiar glory of the woman's work
and the essential condition of its permanence. The demand for
schools increases all the way from the Tennessee mountains to
Alaska. That line of patriotic and Christian service must be kept
full and advancing. We cannot better illustrate its value than by
giving a few extracts from the reports of workers in these fields.
Rev. F. W. Hawley, Synodical Missionary of Oklahoma and
Indian Territory, says :
" The one thing needed is a personal supervision and training of
the children by some consecrated, comjDetent teacher. The value
of such a school and teacher can not be estimated. A great many
such could be placed in the Indian Territory with great advantage
to the work of evangelizing the Indian Give us a
Presbyterian school with a devoted teacher in every full-])lood
neigliborhood and we would soon liave a band of young Indians
v»ho would be an honor to any community."
Eev. W. R. King, President of Henry Kendall College, writes
of the Indian work :
''From whatever side you consider the Indian problem there
can be but one true solution — Christianization. . . . Am I
asked how this evangelization of the Indian can best be carried on ?
I answer, by means of Christian schools and colleges. The older
Indians may be saved as it were by iire, but the great lioi^e for the
Indian race is in the young men and women who are being trainel
in the Christian schools and influenced by consecrated missi(/n-
46 ANNUAL REPOKT OF THE | 1898.
tiries Indian indnstrial education is good, but Indian
Christian education is better. I know of no place in which the
consecrated money of the Church is doing greater good and bring-
ing in nobler results than in the school work."
Rev. S. E. Wishard, D.D., Utah, says : " This religious instruc-
tion given by our teachers is a daily loorl'. It is not reserved
for the Sunday service, but begins Monday morning and continues
day after day the week through, and is then emphasized by the
Sunday school on the Lord's Day. It is the missionary work in
close contact with those whose lives are otherwise moj^t likely to
be uninfluenced by the Gospel. If there is any Home Mission work
carried on in our country it is in our ndssion school work, under
the auspices of the AVoman's Home Mission Board.' '
Dr. Kirkwood, so long an observer of this work in Colorado,
Avrites as follows: " The work of the Christian teacher has for its
object the enlargement of the field for the Word of God, the
unfolding of the wider vision of the blessing that comes to faith
and the molding of the plastic mind into Christ-like forms. It
has the advantage of constant repetition, intensified by limited
audiences. It has the direction of eanest, faithful, though youth-
ful, discipleship in that evangelization that springs from comrade-
ship. It is not confined in its efforts to the children, for the
Shepherd who carries the lambs in His bosom is followed by the
sheep of His care. It enters and blesses the home life, by precejjt
and example, instructing the old and training the young. There-
is none like it. We long for more of it. "
Rev. Robert M, Craig writes thus from New Mexico: "If the
work were simply 'school work,' as conducted in many public
schools, there might be a question ; but ours are mission schools,
and our teachers, every one of them, are missionaries ; whilst our
young people are taught the common school branches they are
taught at the same time the Word of Life. The Bible is studied
and the catechism is drilled into the young minds until the
knowledge of the Bible story shown by many of them would
put to shame many of the young men in our theological semin-
aries. And I am further convinced that, let these children go
where they will, they will never forget the religious instruction
and life of our mission schools, and it is only through these schools
that many of the older people can ever be reached by the Gospel.
A report has just come to me from one of our schools, and in it
this statement is made : ' Seven of our boys have this year \)1lO-
fessed conversion.' "
1S08. I HOAKU OFJ^IIOMK MISSION'S. 47
Rev. Donald McDonald writes thus concerning work among the
mountaineers: "The old people are settled in their habits and
prejudices and cannot be depended upon as factors in this work of
reform, and so tlie school must always be an important and essential
adjunct to the church. We are reaching more of the young men,
the future legislators, merchants, judges and teachers, through our
.school than we could in any other way. Several county seats are
giving us charge of their county schools because we secure to them
better teachers and better influences than they could secure them-
selves. When we shall have put a chapel school house in every
county seat we shall be masters of the situation."
Rev. C. A. Duncan also gives valuable testimony: "To a very
large degree the family in our mountain regions has failed in its
divine mission of giving the children a Christian nurture. And I
know no possible way by which this failure can in any sense be cor-
rected except through the school, taught by thoroughly Christian
teachers whose primal aim it is to lice Christ and teach Christ.
This is the great work to be done by our schools among the
mountaineers."
YOUNG people's DEPAKTMENT.
In 1892 the Board of Home Missions and the Woman's Board of
Home Missions found pressing upon them the needs of the various
young people' s organizations in the Church; these societies were
multiplying rapidly and demanded more time than could be given
by the officers in charge of home mission work. If they were to
be kept in line, the young people must be educated to the sj^ecific
work of their own denomination. Recognizing this need each
Board created a Young People's Dei:)artment, and elected a Secre-
tary of Young People's Work; that under the Board being actively
begun in January, 1893, while that under the Woman's Board was
begun in April of the same year.
The results of this movement fully justified it ; receipts increased
rapidly, and year by year hundreds of young people' s organizations
were brought into line. The educative side of the plan was prose-
cuted with vigor, and intelligent enthusiasm for the cause of Home
Missions was aroused.
After three years it was found that a disproportionate amount of
the total receipts from the young j)eople's societies of Christian
Endeavor was specifically sent for the educational work of Home
Missions ; that is, for the work under the Woman's Board. This
was owing in great measure to the thorough organization of the
48
ANNUA.L REPORT OF THE [1898.
auxiliaries of the Woman's Board in the synods, presbyteries and
local churches, and to the aggressive and systematic service of the
synodical and presbyterial officers especially elected m the women s
societies to care for the education of the young people m these
societies in the home mission work done under the \\ oman s
Board.
But a broader, more comprehensive grasp of the great cause ot
Home Missions was desired for those who would in a few years
take the front places in pushing this cause, a grasp that would
embrace the evangelistic as well as the educational work of the
Board. While the young people were not in any way to be with-
drawn from the counsel, supervision and guidance of their pastors,
yet the women of the Church were asked in 1896 to undertake a
larger work than that they had hitherto prosecuted— the guidance
of the instruction of the young people, not only in one department
of home mission work, but in both : they were asked to present
the two-fold work of Home Missions impartially. Thus were the
educative and carefully organized forces of the women's synodical
and presbyterial officers turned toward the whole field, securing
the larger outlook over the field which was desired for the young
people and also a more equitable adjustment of receipts, as these
were to be equally divided between the two Boards. Because of
this arrangement it seemed desirable to the General Assembly of
1896 that the two Young People's Departments, that of the Board
of Home Missions and that of the Woman's Board of Home Mis-
sions should be consolidated, and one secretary be given charge
of the correspondence from headquarters, the expense of the
deioartment being borne by the two Boards ; the secretary of the
department being necessarily a woman, as she is obliged to work
through the synodical and presbyterial women's organizations.
After two years the consolidated department shows a larger
number of societies contributing than ever before, and attributes
this result to the faithfulness of the synodical and presbyterial
secretaries of young people's work, as in those districts where per-
sistent, intelligent and methodical efforts have been made by these
officers is the improvement the most marked.
Most of these young people are enthusiastic Christian Endeavor-
ers, but thev are also loyal Presbyterians ; they need systematic
study in their own church history and doctrines ; they need to
have their enthusiasm uuided, their gifts properly directed, their
growth in holy service fostered. In short, they need the hearty
1898.] BOAKD OF IIOMK ^flSSIONS. 49
co-operation of pastors thorouglih' acquainted with the organiza-
tions through which tlie young people are asked to work and
heartily in sympathy with them in all their efforts.
LtTEKATUlIE.
One of the essential features of the office is the literature room
where our correspondence concerning printed matter is carried on
and from which there went last year to churches all over the land
about 3o(),000 leaflets j^ublished by the Board. In most cases col-
lection evelopes have gone with them. The special Sabbath School
programs and their accompanying envelopes issued by the Board
and the Woman's Board for the Sundays preceding Thanksgiving
and Washington's Birthday are also in charge of this dei)artment.
Most of the leaflets of the Woman's Board are sold at a nominal
price, while the special programs are sent out free. So also are the
leaflets of the Board. It is believed that the information they con-
vey and the interest they arouse among the churches more than
repay the cost of their xDublication and delivery.
The Home Board has a share in the pages of the Assembly Her-
ald and the Church at Home and Abroad^ and to these each
month it contributes articles from some of its leading workers and
the latest news from all parts of the field.
The Woman's Board, in connection with the Woman's foreign
missionary organization, publishes Over Sea and Land, an attrac-
tive illustrated monthly for junior workers ; besides this it has
entire control of The Home Mission Monthly, also illustrated,
well edited and indispensable to an intelligent comprehension of
efforts for the evangelization of our land.
Each number of all these magazines contains fresh letters from
the front and abundant information on the special topic suggested
for prayer and consideration during that month.
We desire to make grateful mention of the help which has
been given to us by the religious press. It has always been ready
to give the Church the information necesary to intelligent interest
in our work and to second our appeals.
OTHER BOAKDS.
The two Boards most closely allied to our own — the Board of
Publication and Sunday School Work and the Board of Church
Erection — have given us indirect but most valuable help. The
Sunday School missionary by his labors in organizing Sunday
50 ANNUAL KEPOKT OF THE [1898.
schools and circulating Christian literature prei)ares the way for
the Church and the minister. Many new churches each year owe
their existence to the preparatory work thus done.
The Board of Church Erection helps to shelter the new flock
and so gives permanence to labors which might otherwise be tran-
sient.
But all of our Boards are related to our work. The Board of
Education helps prepare the men for our service. Tlie Board of
College Aid solidifies the educational work which is always a part
of Presbyterian Home Missions. The Board of Ministerial Relief
takes the worn out soldier who in our service had often had too
scant support and protects him in the years of decliningjhealth
and strength, and on his going Home shelters his widow and chil-
dren ; while the Boards of Foreign Missions and of Freedmen are
in close and interlacing relations with us in the far West and in the
South.
The Bible Society has been prompt and generous in its contribu-
tion of Bibles to communities that otherwise would not have been
so well supplied, and so has ministered to that Bible knowledge
without which the ministry of the evangelist is but as the voice of
one crying in the wilderness.
So boundaries disappear and the unity of the Kingdom co-ordin-
ates and harmonizes all the agencies of the Church in those com-
binations which in grace as in nature are the condition of strength
and fruit.
INTERDENOMINATIONAL COMITY.
The Board records with satisfaction the efforts which have ll:)een
made on the field by churches and Home Mission Committees to
further the interests of Christian fraternity and economize the
funds of Home Mission Boards and Societies, by regarding the
principles and rules of interdenominational comity and by group-
ing churches, in some cases across denominational lines.

OUR FINANCES.
The iinancial burdens of the year have been nnusually severe.
Returning prosperity has been heralded from montJi to month,
but it has come with unequal steps. Many of the western States
have rejoiced in great harvests and in other signs of better times,
but the eastern States from whicli the larger receipts are to be
expected have not been so favored. The revival of industries has
not been so great nor so steady as was hoped. Then when the
effects of slow recovery from the long depression were just begin-
ning to ])e felt came our national complications with Spain, deepen-
ing for months toward more gravity and peril until business felt
the alarm and large givers to benevolent work waited to see what
the issue should be. At the end of our financial year when
usually the gifts flow to our treasury in large volume the whole
coiintry was in a ferment of unrest, business became sensitive and
conservative, and all treasuries shared more or less in the results.
Considering all these circumstances the financial year has been
a good one.
We began the year with a cash debt of $147,276.96. We close
it with a cash debt of $167,839.03, an increase of $20,562.07. In
considering this increase it should be said that, in the change
from quarterly to monthly payment of the salaries of our mission-
aries, we have been obliged during this fiscal year to take care of
quarterages lapping over from last year into this, in addition to
paying full twelve months' salaries. These overlapping quarter-
ages have amounted in round figures to $35,000.00, so that, consid-
ering the business of the year alone, we have really come through
with an excess ctf receipts over exi:)enditures.
As compared with last fiscal year, the gross receipts show a
decrease of $93,464.39, the total last year standing at $792,404.76,
this year at $698,940.37 (in both cases omitting New York Synod-
ical Aid). Of this decrease the churches are charged with
$69,360.84, the Woman's Board $14,371.63 and individuals and
miscellaneous receipts $11,276,77. Legacies show an increase of
$1,544.85. The falling off in receipts from churches and indivi-
duals is accounted for to some extent by the fact that during the
year ending March 31st, 1897, special and extraordinary appeals
were made for the reason that missionaries and teachers were
suffering through non-payment of salaries, and sx)ecial contribu-
52 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE [1898.
tions on this account were very large. This year no such exigency
has arisen and receipts have fallen back and somewhat below
nominal figures.
Miscellaneous and office expenses show a gratifying decrease as
compared with those of last year, the reduction along these lines
amounting to $7,515.93. The working space in one of the depart-
ments has been reduced to a business basis, and the office room
thus saved has been rented at good figures. More compression of
the working force will be made during the coming year, and it is
hoped considerable income will be derived from the offices thus
made free for rental.
MONTHLY PAYMENT OF SALARIES.
The change from quarterly to monthly payment of missionary
salaries was inaugurated April 1st, 1897. Many of our people
have given expression to their appreciation of this change, consid-
ering it of great help that their allowances from the Board, though
small, have come at shorter intervals.
It was feared that the change would necessitate additional
clerical help in the Treasurer's office — the issuing of twelve or
fourteen hundred salary checks each month instead of once each
quarter, together with the additional bookkeeping attendant
thereon, being no small addition to the work. Careful system-
atizing of all the work in the office, however, and the introduction
of some new methods have made it possible to carry through the
new system without increasing the cost of the work in the Treas-
urer's office. In order to accomplish this it has been necessary to
request the brethren on the field to send their church collections
direct to the office instead of retaining them, as heretofore, and
having them charged on salary account. This may have caused
inconvenience in some cases ; but, in the main, has been cheer-
fully acquiesced in.
COST OF INSURANCE REDUCED.
More favorable arrangements have been made for the carrying
of the insurance upon the chapel and schoolhouse properties of
the Board, scattered throughout the mission fields and upon the
buildings in New York. A saving of some thousands per year
has been accomplished thereby.
Expenditures along all lines have been carefully watched and
plans have been made which it is expected will result in still
further reductions in the years to come.
1898. I BOARD OF HOME MISSIONS. 53
THE DEBT.
Tlie Board is determined to spare no eiforts to secure the
extinction of tlie debt. We hope it may be done without further
retrenchment. We trust the Church will so clearly see the need
of special efforts in this direction and will act so promptly and
generously, that the debt may be steadily and rapidly lowered till
nothing of it shall remain, while the work goes on Avithout further
pressure on salaries or hindrance of any sort. But we must move
conservatively even at the painful cost of reducing appropriations
and passing by inviting fields, till the church shall give its
sufficient response.
Meantime the courage and self-denial manifested by our mission-
aries and teachers during the trying ordeals of the past years, give
us comforting assurance that they will stand to their lot without
faltering. Their spirit of self-denial is beyond praise.
The debt once i^aid it will be the purpose of the Board so to
compass its Avork that, under ordinary conditions, no debt will
accumulate again. We hope to do this by steady and persistent
endeavors to induce the churches to adopt some plan of sys-
tematic and proportionate giving. It is the one clear road to
sufficient treasuries in all departments of mission work.
But for the removal of the present burden one sj^ecial and united
effort is necessary. We suggest that it be made by all churches,
societies and individual givers during the month of November
next, the time usually allotted to Home Mission contributions.
One great effort at that time will set us free. Shall it not be made
to the honor of our Church and the praise of God ?
APPROPRIATIONS TO THE PRESBYTERIES.
The General Assembly of 1896, adopted the following minute :
' ' Resolved, That the Board, at the beginning of the fiscal year,
require of each Presbytery through its Home Mission Committee a
careful, conscientious and conservative estimate of the least total
amount necessary to aid the Home Mission churches within its
bounds. This estimate shall give in detail the amount required
for each Church, answering all other questions required by the
Board. The Board shall then communicate to the Presbyterial
Committee the maximum total amount it is able to grant the
churches of the Presbytery, and the Presbyterial Committee shall
then make final ai)portionment among the churches, not exceeding
in aggregate the amount designated by the Board, and this dis-
tribution shall be recognized as final ])y the Board."
54 ANNUAL EEPOKT OF THE [1898.
This new plan of making appropriations to the Presbyteries has
promoted economy, emphasized Presbyterial responsibility, equal-
ized grants and materially aided the Committees in affording them
at the lieginning of the year an absolute knowledge of their re-
sources for the year. The question has naturally arisen under its
practical operation as to the equable ai^portionment of funds to
the various Presbyteries. This matter is easily adjusted by those
Synodical Committees that have been appointed in accordance
with the recommendation of the Assembly of 1883, (see Minutes of
that year, -p. 644, par. 6), to which the attention of Synods and
Presbyteries is respectfully called.
OUR FUTURE.
There are four x^rime necessities :
1. More Men. They are the conductors of God's power for
people. He has ordained that His Gospel shall flow along the
channels of human lives and words. The cry comes from every
part of the field, "We must have more men." The new north-
west, the old northwest, the central west, the southwest — all are
calling. And there are men with the spirit of Chiist upon them
ready to go. Not indeed in such numbers as the vast field requires,
but more than we can send. Therefore,
2. More Money. Our church is rich. Her money presumably
is the Lord's. But He is not getting it in sums sufficient to do His
work. The tithes must come into the storehouse if we would have
the windows of Heaven opened. "There is that withholdeth more
than is meet, and it tendeth to poverty." AVhy should the Lord's
treasury suffer and His cause be held back so long as there is
lavish expenditure by God' s own people for all personal comforts
and luxuries ? Let us face the truth: our country is in moral and
spiritual peril for lack of Christian privileges, and God's people,
purchased with love divine, have not given the means to save us
from our perils. Is it lack of will or somewhat lack of right
opportunity ? Therefore,
3. 3fore Metliod. The gospel motive is steady. The gospel
principle is systematic giving. It is not the sudden, heavy rain
that does the most good, but the persistent showers that reach to
the roots of nature. It is not the sudden impulse of an emotion
that best quickens the desert into life, but the continuous supply
whose head is in high motives, whose channels are stated oppor-
tunities and whose measure is " as the Lord has prospered. ' ' When
Ave come to systematic and proportionate giving every treasury
Avill be full.

.APPENDIX.
REPORT OF THE STANDING COMMITTEE ON HOME MISSIONS.
The Standing Committee on Home Missions respectfully presents the following report :
The last General Assembly directed the Board to reorganize its methods of administration,
so that the executive work shall be placed in charge of one Secretary, with whatever assist-
ants may be necessary.
The Board has found the discharge of this duty a most diflicult one. After long and
i.areful consideration, it decided to appoint Dr. Charles L. Thompson the Secretary of
the Board. In the retirement of Dr. W. C. Roberts and Dr. D. J. McMillan from the office of
Secretary, the Board has paid them a fitting tribute, but it is the duty also of the General
Assembly to place on record its high appreciation of the valuable services these brethren have
rendered to the cause of Home Missions.
The new Secretary takes up the work at a critical period in the history of the Board. He
deserves and should receive the unqualified support of the whole Church. The needed money
to carry on the work should be promptly and unhesitatingly given, thus providing the
opportunity and the means for accomplishing a large work. He should be held to strict
accountability. It is not doubted but that, the word of cheer being spoken and the proper
support being given by the Church, Dr. Thompson will vindicate the wisdom of his selection
for this great work.
The statistics show that during the year, 1393 missionaries have been commissioned by
the Board. This includes two in the Synod of New Jersey who are paid out of
the Barber fund, which is specially set apart for colored ministers. The goodly number of
7,995 have been added to the mission churches on confession of faith and 4,198 on certificate.
The membership of the Sunday schools connected wi th these churches is 123,622 and 250 new
Sunday schools have been organized.
The Treasurer, Mr. Harvey C. OUn, has submitted detailed statements of receipts and
expenditures of the permanent and trust funds, and also of the operating account of the mis-
sion building, which leaves nothing to be desired. They are so full, clear and satisfactory as
to deserve special commendation. He reports the total receipts from all sources as $702,403.37.
The expenditures were $722,965.44, which exceeded the . receipts by $20,562.07.
This is more than accounted for by the change from quarterly to monthly payments in the
settlement of the salaries of missionaries, for in many instances the quarterages lapped over
from last year into this, and as a result there has been paid this year for work done last year,
a sum nearly equal to $35,000. It will thus appear that the actual work of the year was more
than $14,000 within the receipts.
The debt now amounts to $167,839.03 which belongs wholly to the Board, the Woman's
Board having succeeded in wiping out the deficiency chargeable to their part of the work.
The miscellaneous and office expenses show a gratifying decrease as compared with last year
of $7,515.93. The change from quarterly to monthly payments to the missionaries has been a
most welcome one to those most interested, and it is pleasant to record that it has been accom-
plished without adding anything to the expenses of administration. The interest account is,
however, a serious matter. During the past three years there has been paid out for interest
on funds borrowed to carry on the work of the Board the large sum of $33>654.53. That is
to say in
1895-6 there was paid out $i3>6o4-57
1896-7 " " 13,212.72
1897-8 " " 6,837.24
Total $33'654-53
We are gratified at the marked decrease during the past year. If it be too much to expect
that the churches will so contribute that there shall be no interest to pay, yet the amount
would be largely reduced if Sessions would only see to it that the money contributed by
the people was promptly forwarded by the Treasurer and not held back until the closing days
of March.
The report of the Woman's Board brings us special encouragement. Besides meeting all
their expenses and paying their debt, they have a surplus of over $8, coo. This sum they pro-
1898.] APPENDIX. 209
pose to spend during the coming year upon the Mexican or Indian field and, in addition, to
relieve the Board of all work in Alaska. The receipts of the Woman's Board from its auxil-
iaries and the Young People's Societies, amount to $278,702.38 and, including the funds raised
for the Freedmen's Board, aggregate $324,348.25. This is an increase over last year for the
work among the Freedmen of $4,691.42, but a decrease for the home work of $13,243.50.
They have sent out 501 boxes for the missionaries of the Board, 489 boxes for the mission
schools of the Woman's Board and 372 boxes for the Freedmen's work. They have sustained
during the year 23 boarding schools and 90 day schools. These 113 schools are located as
follows:
8 in Alaska.
17 among the Indians.
24 " Mexicans.
29 " Mormons.
32 " Mountaineers of the South.
3 " Foreign. speaking population.
In these schools have been gathered 8,339 piipi's under 329 teachers. Among these
scholars 460 conversions are reported as part of the year's work. The societies have also-
contributed to the support of 32 schools and 59 teachers under the care of the Freedmen's
Board and 10 Bible readers have been commissioned for the mountaineers of the South.
The prolonged absence from her home and land, for needed rest, of the President of the
Woman's Board, Mrs. Darwin F. James, has occasioned regret. The more lengthened absence
of the Recording Secretary, Mrs. S. B. Brownell, has compelled the Board very reluctantly
to accept her resignation.
When now we turn our eyes to the future, it is clear that the Church should enter upon
the work, forgetting the things which are behind, and press forward with such confidence and
courage as by the blessing of God will bring her to the next Assembly with a record which
shall have in every part abundant reason for gratitude and an increasing stimulus to go for-
ward. Let the past years of criticism, controversy and change suffice. If these have not
wrought all the good which was sought, only harm and loss will accrue by their contin-
uance. Now is the time for confidence, increased offerings and more earnest prayer, and if
these are given to the Board and its work, who can doubt but that, through the favor of God,
greater things will be accomplished than the Church has ever attempted for the great cause
ot Home Missions.
Your Committee would recommend the adoption of the following resolutions :
1. The minutes of the Board meetings are found to be carefully engrossed, while the
minutes of the Executive Sessions seem to be only partially recorded. However, as three mem-
bers of the Board present in the Assembly assure your Committee that the partial records
fairly and fully manifest the action taken in Executive Sessions, it is recommended that the
minutes be approved.
2. In vievi' of the fact that tens of thousands of people are pushing their way into the
gold fields of Alaska, large numbers of whom are Presbyterians, it is recommended that the
Board of Home Missions be advised to appoint at least five additional male missionaries at an
early date for work in that Territory, and make the appointments a new ground of appeal
to the Church.
3. In view of the greater activity of Mormonism since Utah was admitted to State
hood, and in view of the large number of youths trained, in institutions under its control, in
sentiments averse to Christianity and to American ideas, the reduction of our church and school
work in Utah is to be specially deplored ; and it is urged upon our churches that increased
attention should be given to the calls of the Home Board and the Woman's Board, and
abundant means be furnished for instruction from the pulpit, in the Sabbath schools, and in all
grades of Christian week day schools, from the lowest to the highest.
4. That on Sabbath, July 3, a special offering be made for the work of Home Missions.
5. That an earnest effort be made to secure from all sources at least $867,000, so then
will the debt be paid and the work planned for the year be adequately provided for.
6. That the following members of the Board, whose term of office expires at this time, be
reappointed, viz.: Ministers, James S. Ramsay, D.D., Samuel J. Niccolls, D.D., and
Charles Wood, D.D. ; Elders, Walter M. Aikman, Robert Henderson, Wm. H. Corbin and
Robert C. Ogden; and that the Hon. James A. Beaver be elected to fill the unexpired
term of Mr. Charles E. Green, deceased.
All of which is .respectfully submitted,
John Dixon,
Chairman.

210 APPENDIX. [1898.
NINETEENTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE WOMAN'S
BOARD TO THE BOARD OF HOME MISSIONS.
Gentlemen :
In making its Nineteenth Annual Report the Woman's Board is happy to announce that
while changing its name it has also changed its condition and can write across its year's
record the cheerful legend "No debt." This paralyzing incubus has been lifted not because
of unusual, stimulated activity — for the year's figures show a decrease in Home Mission receipts,
exclusive ot the Fieedmen's, of more than $13,000 over last year's high pressure contributions —
but by reason of the continued, steady, purposeful, onward movement of the thousands of
Home Mission Societies under normal conditions, and more particularly in the pursuance of
the policy adopted during the last three lamentable years, of contracting and reducing the
work to meet a reduced income. Last year the Lord wrought for us a mighty deliverance
from calamity, and in the deliverance He as plainly indicated that we were to work out our
own salvation with good business sense. His guiding hand has manifestly been upon the
work on the field, in the society and at the oftlce, and we give Him joyful praise. The first
impulse of thanksgiving is to offer to the Board of Home Missions, of which we are a depart-
ment, such a measure of relief for the general work as our modest surplus will warrant.
While the burden still presses so heavily upon the Assembly's Board, the thought even of our
closed mission schools and the waiting pupils, does not deter us from assuming evangelistic
work to this amount, on the fields where our school work must be and has been followed up
by the preacher. Hence, on the day when our closed books showed the balance on the right
side of the ledger the Woman's Board took action to relieve the Board of all the work m
Alaska and as much more on the Mexican or Indian field as would reach the sum correspond-
ing to the excess of this year's receipts over expenditures and obligations, which is over $8,000.
W hile this continues the embargo caused by persistent retrenchment, it fulfills the promise of
the Woman's Board to carry out more fully the recommendation of General Assembly as to
the evangelistic work when its debt should be removed. The fields on which our mission
schools are established, are those where the church can hardly expect to come to even
a measure of self-support ; the teaching and the preaching are so closely allied that the work
is practically one; hence the support of the preaching missionary on those fields (where it
involves, necessarily, the greatest expense to the Board) is the most legitimate expansion ot
the work of the Woman's Board, and is in further compliance with the continued utterances of
General Assembly. In view, therefore, of the Home Board's great responsibilities and our
present opportunity, we look for the cheerful undertaking and loyal prosecution of this work
by the whole great army of Presbyterian Home Mission women.
THE FIELD WORK.
The resultant church work which the Woman's Board is thus enabled to assume, only em-
phosizes the evangelizing value of the viission school work among the exceptional peoples,
which is the first and specific business of our organization. The need of it called us into
being ; its wonderful success only demonstrates its efficiency — and the further need of it. It
is not a merely philanthropic work ; it does not establish orphan asylums or rescue homes,
though it aims to protect and save. Much less is it a secular educational enterprise. It is the
agency that the Presbyterian Church uses to carry on the work of evangelization on fields
where the mission school must necessarily be the forerunner of the church and the preacher.
The reports of our missionary teachers from Alaska to New Mexico tell the year's story with
thanksgiving for saved souls. That is always the key note of their accountings ; the awaken-
ing of the mind, the new sense of civilized living, the promise of proficiency in the home
industries, the farm, the class room — these are all secondary when the teacher writes of what
the school impress has been upon the pupils. " Seven of onr Mexican boys have confessed
Christ;" " Five of our Indian girls joined the church at the last communion; " " There is a
healthy spiritual tone in the school; " "We can see the workings of the Spirit among the
pupils this winter;" such statements overbalance all the careful school statistics and business
renderings, while they show the sure foundation and the permanence of this agency of the
Church for the evangelization of our benighted populations. Four hundred and sixty conver-
sions are thus reported as this year's record in the schools, while hundreds who had already
been won to Christ have been trained and nourished in the Christian life by our missionary
teachers. They are potent forces, these 23 boarding schools and 90 day schools and they are
thus distributed :

Our societies have also contributed to the support of 32 schools and 59 teachers under
the care of the Freedmen's Board.
In addition to our regular teaching force cominissions have been issued to tenBible readers in
the mountains ot the South. This is in accordance with the deliverance uf the General
Assembly ot 1895, but it has been effected only through the eftorts of Dr. Humble of the
Board of Publication and Sabbath School Work, who becomes responsible for the support of
such workers, and because of the most harmonious cooperation of the two Boards.
While our debt restrictions have been rigidly adhered to and no appropriations for new
work allowed from our current receipts, the report of our Superintendent of Schools will show
how upon some fields — notably in the mountains of the South — the generosity of individual
contributors has made possible some new buildings and consequently broader work. The
gospel will overflow, bank it up as we may ! Our enterprising superintendents and teachers
have compassed much on the field that was not " nominated in the bond." But it is not often
that work is thus happily forced upon us, and every field waits for needed re-enforcement in
workers and equipment.
THE ORGANIZATION.
Down through twenty-nine synodical societies and two hundred presbyterial societies to
the church auxiliaries, which number more than four thousand, and the various contributing
young people's societies and Sunday schools, the work has been systematically apportioned",
spread out and defined by the loyal, earnest workers in every synod and presbytery of our
church. No extraordinary methods have been adopted to increase gifts to our treasury, the
one special appeal made being in behalf of the Board of Home Missions, when our organization
was enlisted during a week of humiliation and prayer to stimulate a great church uprising for
the wiping out of the debt of that Board. The receipts from our regular auxiliaries and young
people's societies (the general C. E. contributions being shared equally with the Home Board
as agreed upon) amount to $278,702.38, and, including the funds forwarded by our societies
for the work of the Freedmen's Board, aggregate $324,348.25 as against $333,899.20 last
year. This is an increase for the work among the Freedmen of $4,691.42 and a decrease for
the Home work of $13,243.50
The boxes prepared by church societies for the Board's Missionaries number 501, while
those sent to the mission schools of the Woman's Board amount to 489. For the Freedmen's
work 372 are reported.
But the figures that indicate the new societies are more significant and inspiring.
Hundreds of these new contributing organizations are the fresh forces that make for righteous
ness and the spread of the kingdom in the destitute cornersof our land. We praise God for every
one of such " Women's Clubs of National Interest."
The organization has not been without its losses this year both in Synodical and Presby-
terial ranks. Devoted workers have gained the Heavenly rest. Where they have stood for
the formative period of this work, as did the strong and valiant Mrs. Kate Plumer Bryan, the
sense of loss is deeply accented, but atter such service she and they sleep well, and their
Lord prepares their successors in His own way and time.
THE ADMINISTRATION.
The year's work at headquarters has missed the direct touch of our honored and beloved
President, Mrs. Darwin R. James, whose stay abroad has been thus prolonged, but her in-
fluence is too distinct and abiding not to be felt even in her absence. She will come back in
lier invigorated strength to take up the lines unentangled, just as she dropped them into other
hands for her needed rest. The more lengthened absence abroad of our Recording Secretary,
Mrs. S. B. Brownell, has compelled us to yield a reluctant acceptance of her resignation,
which she presses upon us in her anxiety for the work whose exacting detail she knows from a
long, untiring service. No tribute that her associates can pay would be worthy of her faith-
fulness and efficiency. Happily they will not be lost to the work though we must still miss
her.
In the conduct of our system of schools, many of which involve all the complexities of in-
dustrial training ; in the management of the large properties acquired for these purposes on
212 APPENDIX. [1898.
the various mission helds; in ail tlie great detail of a work, directed entirely from headquarters
and on isolated fields and among ignorant or bigoted peoples, we acknowledge with gratitude
the assistance of Synodical Missionaries on the field, and especially of the School Committee and
executive officers oi the Board of Home Missions whose counsel and approval are, at once, our
help and our authority. The office force has been hard pressed at times by the demands of
the field and the. organization, but the effective work of the standing committees, whose freely
given time and talent make so large an element of strength at headquarters, is most gratefully
recognized.
CONSOLIDATED DEl'ARTMENTS.
Through the medium of the Young People's Department the joint work of the Board and
the Woman's Board has been vigorously prosecuted down the lines of the women's organiza-
tions. The sum of 16,513.65 from C. E. Societies, and of $17,888.19 from Sunday schools
summarize the results in figures. The prerogatives of the women's organization are to bring
to bear upon the young people such educational influences as will make them intelligent con-
tiibutors to the work of Home Missions in both its departments, as becomes truly patriotic Presby-
terian Americans.
The Leaflet Department, also a consolidated adjunct of the work of the Board and the
Woman's Board, has been most active in its operations, and becomes an increasingly im-
portant factor in prosecuting Home Mission work. That is a commentary on the more in-
telligent workings oi societies and the consequent demand for definite information concerning
the Home Mission enterprise. Receipts from this department amount to $2,099.78, against
$1,597.21 last year.
THE MAGAZINE.
The Home Mission Monthly also reports a steady increase in its subscription list, paying
not only all its own expenses, as it has always done, but turning into the general treasury the
sum of $500 toward the office pay roll, thus in the last four years contributing $2. 300 for such
a purpose. Not what it earns, however, but what it gives is the '" point of sight " in our brief
report of it. It is the lips and tongue of missionsarie — and the Wise Man said, "The lips of
the righteous feed many; the tongue of the just is as choice silver."
SUMjMARY.
The " round up " of the year's work shows a steadily increasing battalion of Presbyterian
women more intelligently and systematically encompassing the benighted peoples of our
country; making a conscientious commissariat for the company of missionaries that they have
sent to the front; cancelling the debt that has so hampered this vanguard; offering some re-
enforcement to the general army still retarded by financial burdens; polishing up their weapons
to meet the foe of ignorance and indiflerence, and trusting in the Lord. " The children of
Israel pitched before them like two little flocks of kids, but the Syrians filled the country.
Thus saith the Lord, Because the Syrians have said the Lord is God of the hills but He is not
God of the valleys, therefore will I deliver all this great multitude into thy hand and ye shall
know that I am the Lord." Respectfully submitted,
(Mrs. Fred'k H.) Emeline G. Pierson,
Corresponding Secretary.

of Foreign Missions should be given a regular place in the instruction of
the schools, missionary books should be introduced into the Sabbath-
school libraries, systematic giving should be encouraged, and Sunday,
December the 25th should be observed as a Missionary Sunday, \vith
special Foreign Missionary exercises, and with special gifts to Christ for
this great work.
4. That in view of the great success and blessing of the Foreign Mis-
sionary Conference held by the Assembly's authority just before the
meeting of this Assembly, it is recommended to the Board that a similar
Conference be held preceding the next Assembly.
ACTION OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY. 5
5. That the Records of the Board which we have carefully examined,
and find clearly, accurately and neatly kept, be approved.
6. In order to meet the appropriations already made for the fiscal year
beginning May 1, 1898, together witli inevitable additions which for
providential reasons will be required during the year, an advance of at
least twenty (20) per cent, on the income of last year from living sources
is indispensable, and must be made if another debt is to be avoided, to say
nothing of the restoration of the work cut out last year because of re-
trenchment, or of an expansion to which God by His providence and
Spirit is so urgently calling us.
7. There being no adequate provision in the present system of examin-
ing candidates for appointTuent as missionaries, by which the religious
views of laymen and women can be fully ascertained, it is recommended
that the Board of Foreign Missions be authorized to propound to such
candidates the following questions:
(1.) Do you believe the scni)tures of the Old and New Testaments to be
the word of God, the only infallible rule of faith and practice?
(2.) Do you sincerely receive and adopt the Confession of Faith in this
Church as containing the system of doctrine taught in the Holy Scrip-
tures ?
(3.) Do you approve of the Government and Discipline of the Presby-
terian Church in the United States of America?
(4.) Have you any views at A-arience with these doctrines, or any views
of Church Government which would prevent your cordial co-operation
with the Missionaries of the Presbyterian Church of the United States of
America ?
8. The General Assembly has learned -w-ith deep interest and satisfaction
that the Protestant Foreign ]Missionary Societies of Great Britain, the
Continent of Europe and America, have resolved to hold an Ecumenical
Foreign Missionary Conference in the city of New York, in the month of
April, 1900, similar in character and aim to the World's Missionary Con-
ference held in London in 1888. The opening of the new century would
seem to be a fitting time to trace the development of the great foreign
missionary enterprise which now circles the globe; to note the finger of
God in the marvelous unfoldings of His providence and grace in connec-
tion with it; to recount the splendid conquests already made among un-
evangelized nations, and the agencies so signally blessed of the Holy Spirit
by which they have been achieved; but above all, to catch the significance
of the trumpet call which summons the Church to a -wider occupancy of
the field, and to still grander conquests for Christ, by means of the mighty
forces already within her reach. It is eminently a time for wise counsel
and concerted action. The General Assembly, therefore, warmly com-
mends the contemplated Ecumenical Missionary Conference, and heartily
approves the action of the Board of Foreign Missions in joining in the
undertaking, looking to the Church for such co-operation and support as
may be found necessary.

INTRODUCTION
TO
SIXTY-FIKST ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE
BOARD OF FOREIGN MISSIONS.
The Board of Foreign Missions, with devout gratitude to God
for marked tokens of divine favor, presents to the General As-
sembly its Sixty-first annual report, together with the volume of
its Minutes covering the fiscal year 1897-98.
Of the gentlemen elected to membership in the Board by the
last Assembly, Mr. John Stewart, "William E. Sti-
The Board, ger, Esq., and Mr. "William P. Stevenson accepted
the appointment, and by their faithful attendance
and wise counsel, have added greatly to the strength of the
Board. "We deeply regret that the Hon. H. B. Silliman, LL.D.,
owing to pressure of duty in other directions, felt constrained to
decline the appointment. The term of the following gentle-
men, constituting the Class of 1895-98, expires with the current
fiscal year, and the Assembly is respectfully requested to re-elect
them: Rev. John D. Wells, D.D., Rev. William M. Paxton, D.D.,
LL.D., Rev. John Balcom Shaw, D.D., Rev. David Gregg,
D.D., Mr. Alexander Maitland, Mr. John Stewart, and William
E. Stiger, Esq. The Rev. Joseph R. Kerr, D.D., after seven
years of membership in the Board, having tendered his resigna-
tion because of inability longer to devote the necessary time to
the responsible duties of the position, his resignation was
accepted with regret, and the Rev. John F. Patterson, pastor of
the Central Presbyterian Church of Orange, N. J., is hereby
nominated to fill his unexpired term in the Class of 1896-99.
Mr. Scott Foster, a ruling elder in Rutgers Riverside Presbyte-
terian Church of New York city, is also nominated to fill the
8 SIXTY-FIRST ANNUAL REPORT.
vacancy caused by declinature of the Hon. H. B. Silliman,
LL.D.
Charles W. Hand, Esq., who was elected treasurer of the
Board to succeed William Dulles Jr., Esq., entered
The Office, upon the duties of his office on May 17, 1897. Mr.
Hand is a ruling elder in the Lafayette Avenue
Presbyterian Church of Brooklyn, and is well qualified by legal
and business training for the responsible position to which he
has been chosen and in which he is giving great satisfaction.
Secretary Speer, after an absence of fourteen months,
during which, accompanied by Mrs. Speer in most instances, he
visited the Missions in Persia, China, Japan and Korea, returned
to the office Oct. 30, 1897. Able and comprehensive reports of
his visit, prepared with great care, and dealing with some of the
large problems of Mission policy and methods, were subsequently
submitted to the Board. These are now under consideration,
and cannot fail to yield important results in dealing with Mis-
sion questions. Although the Board recognizes that the
expense of such tours of visitation and supervision is
a proper and wise charge against the cost of Mission
administration, it is pleasant to be able to say that in
the present instance the long Journey was without cost
to its treasury, Mr. Speer and a friend meeting the entire
expense. Mr. "William Henry Grant, so long connected
with tlie Mission Eooms in an honorary capacity, and who,
some years ago, made an extended tour of the Mission fields,
accompanied Mr. Speer in his visits to China, Korea and Japan,
rendering effective and valuable service.
The Library in the Mission Eooms is becoming increasingly
useful as a distributing centre of information
The Library, on Foreign Missions. Books are multiplying, and
the Library is more and more frequented by
persons interested, while the number of volumes loaned is stead-
ily increasing. Under the direction of Mr. Grant, well-executed
maps of our Mission fields have been issued, photographs in great
variety have been procured, some of which have been reproduced
in our magazines, and lantern slides illustrating a wide range of
Mission subjects have been multiplied, and either sold or rented
at a mere nominal figure to large numbers of churches and
societies.
SIXTY-FIRST ANNUAL REPORT. 9
With profound satisfaction the Board reports all ohligations
met to date, including the debt of $97,454.47 carried
Finances, over from last year. In view of the financial situa-
tion in the country, and with an earnest desire to
wipe out the debt as well as to meet the obligations of the fis-
cal 3'ear beginning May 1, 1897, the Board appropriated for that
year about $100,000 less than for the year preceding. A special
appeal for the debt was also issued and pressed upon the
Church, the members of the Board, its officers and clerical force,
and many of the missionaries joining in the effort. By the
missionaries alone the handsome sum of $10,533.80 was given.
In accordance with the recommendation of the General Assembly,
many of the churches increased their regular gifts with a view
to helping with the debt.
To this most satisfactory outcome the Women's Societies and
Boards have as usual contributed most handsomely.

of those of last year. The Board takes pleasure in
recording anew its high estimate of the service rendered to
Foreign Missions by these noble organizations and their aux-
iliaries, not only in furnishing such a large proportion of the
funds — about 32 per cent. — for the prosecution of the work, but
by means of their effective methods deepening and widening the
interest at home, as well as supporting and encouraging their sis-
ters on the field.
At the urgent request of several of the Women's Boards, and
after full correspondence with all, it was

"as far as agreeable, all the Young People's
Societies should send their gifts through the Women's Societies,
and that the Assembly's Board should take direct charge of all
foreign missionary work among the Sabbath-schools." In com-
municating this proposition to all concerned, the Board took
pains to say: "The above proposition, of course, is advisor}^
and is made with the necessary reservation involved in the au-
thority of the Synods and Presbyteries to take such action as they
may deem wise, and also of the right of the Young People's So-
cieties and Sabbath-schools to determine for themselves, subject
to the advice and consent of their respective church sessions, the
channels through which their foreign missionary offerings shall

be sent to the Treasurer of the Assembly's Board. Wherever
the proper church courts take other action, the Young People's
Societies will, of course, recognize their paramount jurisdiction.
But the plan is recommended in the earnest hope that it may be
accepted as the wisest and most practicable solution of an impor-
tant problem."
The missionary force was increased during the year by the ad-
dition of twenty-eight missionaries, of whom six
Force^''^ were ordained ministers, three medical men, five
medical women, seven other single women, one
industrial missionary, and six wives of missionaries. About two-
thirds of this number were sent to the field by funds specially
provided for the purpose. On the other hand, the force was de-
pleted by ten deaths and twenty resignations. The deaths were:
East Shantung Mission — Mrs. Charles Lewis, May 31, 1897;
Mrs. Calvin W. Mateer, Feb. 18, 1898.
Lodiana Mission — Mrs. Charles B. Newton, June 20, 1897;
Mrs. W. J. P. Morrison, Jan. 1, 1898.
Siam Mission — Eev. F. I. Lyman, July 17, 1897; James
B. Thompson, M.D., March 30, 1898.
Chinese in California — Miss Margaret Culbertson, Aug. 1,
1897.
Hainan Mission — Eev. J. C. Melrose, Sept. 16, 1897.
West Shantung Mission — Anna M. Larson, M.D., Dec. 35,
1897.
Western Persia — Mrs. Benjamin Labaree, April 15, 1898.
More extended reference to these servants of God will be found
in connection with their respective Missions. The resignations
were from nine Missions, and were largely because of ill health.
The names will be found in the text of the report.

citement in China because of the aggressions of cer-

of ecclesiastical power and weakness and oppressions of the civil
authority, necessarily reacted somewhat on our Mission work.
The unprecedented cut also, made necessary by diminished re-
ceipts, told somewhat severely, although by throwing the native

churches more on their own resources the retrenchment has not
been without some compensations. Our twenty-four Missions,
however, with their 110 Stations, have had a year of substantial
growth. Korea has been especially rich in fiiiitage, the record
being little less than phenomenal when the limited force and the
comparatively recent planting of the Mission are remembered.
The adult baptisms were 347, while successful efforts at self-sup-
port and church building indicate an active spiritual life. Most
of the Missions in China give evidence of decided advance, es-
pecially those working extensively in the villages, such as West
Shantung, which reports 265 adult baptisms; Canton 240, and
Central China 167. The ingatherings in India from among the
low-caste people continue, especially in the Punjab, while the
Missions in the Northwest Provinces and Western India are also
beginning to reap richer harvests than formerly. Among the
nearly 600 baptisms reported are a number of high-caste Hindus
and Mohammedans. In Japan the drift away from Bible truth
is in part arrested, and a strong reaction is setting in in favor of
evangelical Christianity. Western Persia reports the unusually
large addition of 415 on confession of faith, while S astern Per-
sia has not been unblessed. Syria still proves a difficult field to
cultivate, nowithstanding the fidelity of a large and efficient
missionary force. The church membership is 2,300, of whom
95 were received last year. Frequent health changes among the
missionaries in Africa, necessitated mostly by climatie condi-
tions, have been unfavorable to uninterrupted work at some of
the stations, but the year has been one of quiet and steady
growth, and 52 adults were baptized. Most of the Missions in
the Roman Catholic Countries on this continent find it no easy
matter to make a deep and lasting impression. Substantial
progress, however, is being made in Mexico, Guatemala, Colom-
bia and Brazil, the aggregate of adult baptisms reported for the
year being 285.
Making allowance for the incomplete returns from some Mis-
sions because of delayed mails and other possible causes, the
additions on confession for the year in all our Missions have been
most encouraging. To this result all branches of the work have
contributed. The retrenchment, however, told heavily against
the schools, a number having to be closed and others greatly

reduced. The medical work has held its own in its divine mis-
sion of healing and evangelizing, 351,298 patients having been
treated and brought more or less into touch with the Gospel.
After long and patient consideration, the Board determined to
abandon Mosul as a Mission Station, its remoteness,
Mosul, isolation, unhealthfulness, the impossibility of building
suitable missionary residences because of government
opposition, and the difficulty of carrying on from that point the
work among the Mountain Nestorians for which the station
was originally established, rendering its further continuance in-
expedient.

be the clear leadings of Providence, has under-
taken an experiment in the direction of a "Forward Movement."
For some years past, a gentleman in the Middle "West had been
paying through the Board the salaries of two missionaries on the
field, besides making an annual gift for the general work. This
course had been such a blessing to himself, and he was so pro-
foundly convinced that others might be found willing to do like-
wise, that he urged the Board to undertake a "Forward Move-
ment" in this direction, promising to meet all the expense con-
nected with it for one year, or two, if it succeeded, including the
salary of the representative to be engaged, clerk hire and travel-
ing expenses. Believing that the finger of God was in it, the
Board accepted the proposition, but not until January, 1898,
was it able to secure a suitable man to undertake so important
and delicate a work. At that time Mr. Luther D. Wishard, a
Princeton graduate, and for many years connected with the Col-
lege branch of the Y. M. C. A., in whose interests he had spent
several years visiting foreign mission fields, was induced to un-
dertake it. It is hoped that through this agency not a few men
and women of wealth may see it to be their duty and count it

a joy to have their representatives on the foreign field, and that
congregations also, following the example of a number already
enrolled, may see their way clear to support a missionary over and
above their present gifts to Foreign Missions. The primary aim
of the "Forward Movement," however, is to enlist individuals.
With a view to the more thorough equipment of new mission-
aries before their departure for the field, and of
Missioriaries o^'^i^o ^^^^ Board and its oflficers a better oppor-
tunity of meeting them face to face than here-
tofore, it has been arranged to hold a ten days' conference with
them in the Mission Rooms in June. Lectures on practical
topics will be given by members and officers of the Board and
by others, including medical men and workers in city Missions.
Opportunities will also be afl:'orded of visiting some of the Mis-
sion work in New York city. It is believed that such even brief
practical instruction in Mission policy and methods and personal
contact with the Board and its officers will be of great advantage
to the new missionaries and through them to the missions, while
the Board will profit by the establishing of closer personal rela-
tions with the missionaries.
The outlook on the foreign side of the work is full of hope.
In most of our Mission fields the door of access stands
Outlook, wide open. Missionaries are not only tolerated, but
in many instances even welcomed by the people.
The Holy Spirit is setting his seal on the work more generally
than ever before in the history of our Missions. Everything
points to wider occupancy as the immediate duty of the Church.
Delay is hazardous. The tide must be taken at the flood. We
must keep step with the providence and grace of God, or lag be-
hind in the mighty conquest. The present reduced rate of ex-
penditure in the Missions, made necessary by the utter inade-
quacy of the Board's receipts, can only be continued at the peril
of much of the work already in hand, to say nothing of the
urgent demand from most of our Missions for immediate rein-
forcements and a steady forward step. Crippled work on the
field waits to be restored; missionaries who have been bearing
almost intolerable burdens rather than see the work sacrificed
ought to be relieved; and the well-equipped men and women who,
at the Lord's call, have dedicated themselves to the foreign work
should not be kept longer waiting for means with which to send

She is able to do it. Will she do it?
The Board gratefully acknowledges its indebtedness to the

vised by Dr. Nassau of "West Africa, and for
the continuance of its generous help in furnishing copies of the
Scriptures to our missionaries in other fields for sale or free dis-
tribution, and in supporting colporteur and Bible agents. Grate-
ful mention is also made of the uniform kindness of the Ameri-
can Tract Society in liberally helping our Missions to produce
and disseminate a pure religious literature.
It is a privilege in this connection to report the generosity of
the British and Foreign Bible Society in assuming one-half the
salary and part of the other expenses of Eev. S. H. Kellogg,
D.D., of our Furrukhabad Mission, who, with representatives of
other Boards, is engaged in revising the Hindi Old Testament.

The salient features of this Mission for the year touch both
the workers and the work. Several changes have taken place
in the missionary force. Mr. and Mrs. Bannerman, after pro-
tracted absence from the field because of the ill health of the
latter, finally resigned, severing their connection with the Mis-
sion with great reluctance, and to the deep regret of the Mission
and the Board. Mr. and Mrs. Gault, Mr. Ford and Miss Babe
rejoined the Mission after furlough, while Mr. Kerr, Mr. Rob-
erts and Mr. and Mrs. Schnatz returned to the United States
for rest and recuperation — Mr. Schnatz especially having been
very seriously ill. Mrs. Marling also, after the death of her hus-
band, came as far as England to spend some time with her chil-
dren. The Mission was reinforced by the appointment of C. F.

Friend, M. I)., and Mrs. Friend, Mdio Avere assigned to Angom,
the Eev. F. G. Knauer, who has taken charge of the Boys' School
at Batanga, and the Eev. Eicliard Lange, who was appointed
Avith special reference to the work among the Dwarfs.
The ingathering for the year has not been large when com-
pared with that of some recent years, the total number receiA^ed
on confession of faith being 52. The Avork of character-build-
ing, however, has not been neglected, and the missionaries write
in a hopeful si^irit. In the older Stations the need of reinforce-
ments is urgent, especially to undertake the Avork of itinerating
among the towns along the rivers and in the bush. The press-
ing of the Fang tribe — the most poAverful in West Central
Africa — to the coast at several points calls for redoubled efforts,
especially at Angom and Benito, Avhile the ripeness of the field
on the Gaboon and along the northern coast demands wider and
more vigorous itineration. Unhappily, in the older parts of the
field, Eomanism has been more than usualh' aggressive; annoy-
ing our missionaries Avith petty persecutions, and seeking in
many Avays to hamper them in their work. Aside from the dark-
ness and superstition of heathenism, the most potent enemy in
the interior has been intertribal Avars. These, however, have not
affected the personal safety of our missionaries, although they
have very seriously interfered Avith their work.
The establishment of the Mac Lean Memorial Station at Lolo-
dorf, hinted at last year as in contemplation, is noAV in a measure
an accomplished fact. Tlie name has been chosen in honor of
a brother of Miss Margaret Mac Lean of Scotland, through whose
generosit}^ the opening of this Station, because of its proximity
to the Dwarfs, has been made possible. Lolodorf is about 90
miles northeast of Batanga, and is the headquarters of the Ger-
man government in the Ngumba country. Temporary buildings
had been erected Avith the assistance of Mr. Kerr, and Mission
Avork begun by Mr. Eoberts, before he left for the IJnited States.
It is for the present in the hands of trusted native Christians. It
is expected that Avork for the Dwarfs will be prosecuted some-
what vigorously from this centre, as a wide range of itinerating
A\dll enable the Mission to reach a goodly number of these de-
graded people.
BARAKA STATION.
The inadequacy of the force at this Station has made it im-
possible to do more than maintain the usual routine work at the
centre. In addition to the multiplied secular cares of the Sta-
tion, Dr. ISIassau has acted as stated supply of the church. It
is deeply to be regretted that, after more than half a century of
'Christian effort, this church mvist still look to foreign mission-
aries for its preaching instead of being a strong, self-supporting
church with its OAvn African pastor. On different occasions

native ministers have been in charge, and others are now coming
to the front; but a well-trained native ministry is one of the
pressing needs of the entire Mission.
The Church at Baraka, which numbers 75 adult member?,
received six on confession of faith, while on the other hand one
was excommunicated. Owing to the absence of a competent
French teacher, the boarding-school was not opened during the
year, but a day-school, attended by the children of both Protest-
ants and Eoman Catholics from adjacent villages, was in opera-
tion. The attendance was irregular, running as low as five in a
day and rising as high as 40. No food or clothing, nor gifts of
an}^ kind to the parents to induce them to send their children,
were given. The report expresses surprise that, in face of the
admirably equipped Eoman Catholic schools at Baraka, any chil-
dren were found willing to attend. An effort was made, in a
small way, to establish an industrial department; but it was not
a conspicuous success, there being no appropriate equipment or
oversight. A French-speaking teacher here is indispensable.
EVANGELISTIC WOEK was maintained by two or three
native agents, one at Ovendo, a point across the bay from Ga-
boon, where there is also a small day-school taught in French.
The Avork for women has been kept up by Mrs. Ogden, in
addition to the heavy responsibility of looking after the domes-
tic arrangements of the mission-house, and entertaining mission-
aries as they pass to and fro. In her missionary work she was
aided by some of the Christian women in Baraka, who took turns
in visiting the larger villages, reading the Bible, and conducting;
prayer-meetings. Mrs. Ogden writes:
Some of our Gaboon women are strong Christians, enduring hardness-
as good soldiers of Jesus C^hrist. On one occasion, a woman, very ill in-
deed, unable even to support her head, was taken from her bed, carried
outdoors and held in a chair, while heathen incantations were practiced
around her. A few hours after, when some of the Christian women went-
in to see her, she, in great exhaustion, recounted what had been forced
upon her, and added: "Don't fear the curses that are heaped upon yoTi
by my family; come to see me while I stay. Nothing can come betweem
me and my Saviour." Just before her death, she was permitted most
precious experiences. In almost more joy than she could bear, she ex-
claimed: "Oh, I see myself brought nearer, made purer and purer. I
see Jesus — my Jesus."
The women of the Church maintain a Foreign Missionary So-
ciety, which meets once a month and is well attended, each giv-
ing her ten cents cheerfully. An earnest plea is again made for
a woman medical missionary to undertake village visitation, and
medical work among the native women and children.
Mr. Ibia, in charge of the outstation of Corisco Island, reports
but little encouragement. Six women were added to the Church
on confession, while two men were excommunicated and two-
22 AFRICA — ANGOM.
suspended. This tells the story of the difficulty of maintaining
a church in the midst of heathen surroundings.
Evangelistic work has been done at various points on the island,
and also on the mainland. The most serious obstacle, appar-
ently, is the persistent opposition of the Eoman Catholic priests,
who seem to be bent on the destruction of all Protestant institu-
tions on the island, not hesitating to call to their aid gifts of
rum to the poor natives.
A school of 25 children, two-thirds of them boys, was main-
tained at the main station, while four girls were taught at
Mbanque.
The native minister seems to be thoroughly in sympathy with
the purpose of the Mission and the Board to plant self-support-
ing and self-propagating Christian institutions, whether church
or school; but the difficulties in the way are neither few nor
small.
ANGOM STATION.
Through a succession of unlooked-for events, this station was
left with but one ordained missionary, the Eev. Smith G. Dun-
ning, who had just joined the Mission, and of course was a stran-
ger to the language and the people. Through the agency of
native assistants, however, the various parts of the work were
fairly well sustained — something all the less difficult because of
the faithful work of Mr. and Mrs. Marling in other years.
The Church, which now numbers 29 communicants, had an
addition of three on confession, with an average attendance of
60 at the Sabbath services. A number of earnest inquirers are
reported, and the increasing attendance at the Sabbath-school is
noted as full of encouragement. But little was possible in visit-
ing the towns around Angom, all of which are open to the Gospel.
!Mention is made of the voluntary work of a Christian native,
who had gone repeatedly into the interior towns telling the story
of God's love.
A com.bined day and boarding school was maintained most of
the year, although with an unsatisfactory attendance. The
present location is not well adapted for a school, as, in going to
the river to secure water for cooking purposes and also to bathe,
the boys must pass through the midst of the town people, who
seek every opportunity for making trouble. In addition to this,
the Roman Catholics have been exceedingly active in their
efforts, giving large gifts in order to secure tbe children for their
schools; not hesitating to carry even a jug of rum with which to
influence the parents.
Mr. Dunning urges a wider occupation of this field because of
the access it gives to large parts of the Fang tribe, which is the
strongest tribe on the West Coast, and is rapidly pushing its way
to the sea. The advantage of river communication also makes
AFRICA — BENITO. 23
it a comparatively easy field to work. It combines the ease of
access of a coast station with splendid opportunities for fron-
tier work. The church cannot fulfill its obligation to West
Africa without a more adequate manning of this station.
BENITO STATION.
The year has not been marked by such ingatherings at this
Station as have characterized other years; and yet the work has
not been without the seal of Divine approval, four having been
added to the Benito Church, and six to that at Hanje, some 15
miles to the south. There are 600 adherents connected with
the former, and 200 with the latter, with an average attendance
respectively of 250 and 80. Growth in Christian character is
noted with gratitude on the part of the missionaries.
The Sabbath-school at Benito has an enrolment of 300, and
that at Hanje of 50. The services connected with the latter
are conducted by one of the elders, save as Mr. Myongo, the
pastor in charge at Benito, is able to visit it. Three other out-
stations, under care of native elders, are also visited regularly
by the native pastor. The death of one of the oldest members
made a deep impression. After many years of faithful witness-
ing, he said, as he lay upon his deathbed: "Why should you
mourn that I am leaving this world of sin? I hold it but as
filthy rags in comparison with the country to which I am going."
What a contrast with another death which occurred about the
same time, the friends declaring that the man had been be-
witched, and, on opening his body, insisted that they had found
proof that he had been killed by witchcraft! His friends pulled
down the house in which he had died and destroyed the garden.
SCHOOLS. — The boarding-schools for boys and girls have
liad a successful year, 120 children being enrolled, with an aver-
age attendance of 48, mostly Kombe, there being only a few
from each of the surrounding tribes. Tw'enty-four learned to
read during the year; the Benga being taught first, and, to the
more advanced, the French, in order to meet the requirements
of the government. Special attention has been given to indus-
trial work. Of this Mr. Presset writes:
The boys have clone a good deal of work on the Station that other-
wise would have been done by paid workmen. They have also procured
most of the material for building a liouse intended for a kitchen, but
used for a dormitory, as the former building used for that purpose fell
during the year. They liave also cleared about 20 acres of forest on
Mission premises, cutting and hauling from it lumber for a dormitory
for themselves, which has been built during the year under Mr. Menkel's
care. The land thus cleared is now occupied by a plantation of plan-
tains and corn, the former producing now about half of the daily amount
of food for the boarding scholars. I have given that part of the work
special attention, with the view of helping by it the cause of self-support,
and also of training the boys under my instruction to habits of work.
24 AFRICA — BATANGA.
The girls have also been trained in industrial work, the older
ones being taught to sew, the product of their needles being^
given by them towards the fund for a church building. They
also "cultivate their small gardens with a good degree of dili-
gence, and employ the proceeds to help clothe themselves, and
also to procure the Benga books for which they are so anxious."'
Several of the girls are members of the inquiry class, and it is.
hoped that they will soon be received into the church on con-
fession of their faith.
EVANGELISTIC— In addition to the visiting of the out-
stations, Mr. Myongo and his assistants have made frequent
itinerations to the surrounding towns, while the ladies of the
Mission have visited the towns lying along the Benito river.
There are now three tribes living on the Benito coast who were-
formerly called interior people — the Balingi, Boheba and Fang.
Quite a number of Balingi are in the church, but the Boheba
and Fang are still difficult of access. Itinerations among-
such people are far from being holiday experiences. Eeferring-
to the murder of one of the Fang tribe, Mrs. Eeutlinger writes:
Only a few days before the Fang thus murdered four of the Coast
people, Miss Christensen and myself, with a crew of four men, had visited
the same town. A crowd of fierce-looking men were then gathered,,
talking the war palaver, and thirsting for blood. We have since heard
that there were those in the crowd who advised an attack upon our boat.
Their little girls were still at that time under our care. Had it been
otherwise, we shudder to think what we might have been called upon to
witness. Our own lives would, perhaps, have been spared; but the poor
men composing our crew might have been butchered before our eyes,
and we have been helpless to prevent the deed. We praised the Lord for
His protecting mercy, and realized that He had indeed been with us>
and preserved us from threatened harm.
Mrs. Eeutlinger and Miss Christensen have continued their
labor of love in the dispensing of medicines, according to their
ability, the patients meeting the expense of the drugs in whole
or in part.
BATANGA STATION.
Year by year Batanga becomes increasingly important as a
centre of missionary work, and the gateway to the interior. All
ordinary departments of work carried on in Mission-fields are in
operation here.
The Church located at the central Station, and which was or-
ganized but a few years ago, has become the mother of four others
located north and south of Batanga. As through some over-
sight, the statistics of all these churches are given in gross,
under the name of the mother church, it is impossible to refer
to them in detail. The entire membership of the five churches
is 730, of whom 27 were received on confession during the
AFRICA— BATANGA. 2$
year. This is a much smaller number than that reported last
year, and is partly owing to the fact that it has been found neces-
sary to raise the standard for admission to the church. It may
also be partly owing to the fact that the old church building at
Batanga was destroyed during the ye&v, and the people who for
several years had been collecting funds for a new edifice were
disappointed because Mr. Menkel could not at once undertake
the building of it. The work to the north of Batanga has been
especially encouraging, and it is believed that the church at
Kribi, some eight or ten miles from the centre, might be made
a strong church were the right man found to be put in charge.
EVAN'GELISTIC. — Mr. Hickman visited regularly the
towns north of the Lobi river, while the elders of the church
and members of the Theological Class rendered good service
along the coast and in the bush behind Batanga. Mr. Roberts
made two journeys to Lolodorf, the site of the Mac Lean Memo-
rial Station, besides spending a large amount of time among
the Mabeya, within a few miles of Batanga. During these jour-
neys he kept in view the Board's purpose of reaching the Dwarfs
wherever possible, and of planning to secure for them Gospel
privileges in connection with the Stations. He found them
however, rather difficult of access, although by kind treatment
he soon won their confidence. With a few exceptions, they per-
sisted in refusing to send their children to school at any of the
centres; but it is believed that this reluctance will be overcome
in time, so that some of the boys, and possibly some of the girls,
may be trained at one or more of our stations, and sent back to
carry the Gospel to their people. A school was carried on in
their midst for some time by Mabeya men, the young men work-
ing in the morning and receiving Bible instruction and instruc-
tion in the rudiments of education in the afternoon.
SCHOOLS. — The Theological Class, numbering six men, is
still under the instruction of Miss Nassau, who devotes a large
amount of time and labor to this important work, the course of
instruction being that prescribed by the Presbytery.
The Boys' School at Batanga was seriously interrupted by the
illness and subsequent withdrawal of Mr. Schnatz. It contin-
ued in session, however, under charge of native teachers until
the arrival of Miss Babe, who at once resumed instruction in
German, this being counted a very important matter in view of
our relation to the German government.
Some 40 names of the Mabeya tribe were enrolled as boarding
pupils, while 20 day pupils attended from the adjacent towns.
The Girls' School at Bongaheli, the lower part of Batanga,
was taught by a native teacher under the supervision of Miss
Nassau. For lack of more adequate accommodation, it has been
conducted in one of the rooms of Miss Nassau's house. The
26 AFRICA — EFULEN.
entire number enrolled was 85, while the average attendance
was but 35; the irregularity growing out of various conditions
of life, including the indifference of parents.
Day-schools were also conducted at the outstations, some of
them with a good deal of encouragement. It is worthy of note
that, although the Roman Catholics offered inducements for the
attendance of children in the form of food and clothing, the com-
munity have come so far to understand the difference between
their work and ours that some even of the Roman Catholics are
sending their children to our schools.
MEDICAL. — Dr. Cox has had a busy year in dispensary and
hospital, and in looking after the health of our missionaries
and of foreign traders in and around Batanga. Of course, in
treating foreigners, a fee is charged, which is turned into the
Mission treasury. The entire number of treatments reported is
12,380, including 12 cases in minor surgery and three major
operations. Religious services were daily conducted in what by
courtesy is called a hospital — a very temporary structure, which
barely affords shelter for the joatients. The IMission has united
in an urgent request for the erection of a small and inexpensive
hospital for work at Batanga, and the time has certainly come
when something a little more permanent and adequate in this
direction ought to be furnished. Grateful mention is made in
the annual rej^ort of the value of the medical work in giving
the Mission standing in the community and with the govern-
ment.
Captain Peter Menkel has devoted a large amount of time to
building operations, including extensive repairs at several of the
Stations, and has also continued to act as captain of the cutter
"Nassau." Owing to the increased facilities of transportation
by steam vessels, the Board has decided to dispose of the cutter,
but has not yet succeeded in doing so.
EFULEN STATION.
Work at this Station is gradually taking on a more permanent
character. The presence of the missionaries, with all that it in-
volves, is no longer a novelty. People have come to know that
the preaching of the Gospel is not a mere entertainment. The
salvation that is proclaimed is salvation from sin and not in sin;
and people by nature have no taste for that which searches, tries
and condemns them. A goodly number, who formerly climbed
Efulen Hill to attend the religious services, find it now the "Hill
Difficulty.'' Intertribal wars have also reduced the number of
those attending the services. The report says:
A quarrel with the Ntum people, a tribe about 30 or 40 miles southeast
of Efulen, has closed the way to this country, and hence debarred these
people from hearing the Gospel here. The Ntum people, although using
AFRICA — EFULEX. 2/
a slightlj" diflferent dialect, have no difficulty in understanding the Bulu
as used about Efulen. Formerly they came to Efulen by the score, on
Sabbath as well as during the ^yeek; but their present quarrel has stopped
all intercourse. But not only have their palavers closed this road, but for
a time it seemed that the people about Efulen, bj' their petty quarrels,
were shutting themselves in on every side. Then they came nearer home,
and got into a palaver among themselves, until on one Sabbath all paths
to Efulen Hill were closed to the Bulu.
An average attendance of 70, however, on the Sabbath service
may be regarded as quite encouraging, especially as there is a
marked increase in the earnestness of the attention given to the
truth. The preaching service is immediately preceded by a Sab-
bath-school, where the women and girls are especially reached.
There are 23 enrolled in the inquiry class, of whom two or three
are believed to be ready for baptism. More, perhaps, might be
considered qualified, but they are quite young, and the tempta-
tions which beset them are neither few nor small.
EVANGELISTIC— The work at Nyabitandi, a town three
miles from Efulen, has been sustained by the missionaries, four
of the schoolboys from Efulen also taking part. The average
attendance has been about 100, including quite a number of peo-
ple from the interior, who had come to trade. Another clan of
the Bulu tribe, about three miles east of Efulen, have asked for
a Sabbath-afternoon service, such as that held at Nyabitandi;
but it is difficult of access, as it requires wading in water a good
part of the year. The missionaries have made nine itinerating
trips during the year, two of them between Efulen and Elat;
another, of four days, among the people to the north of Efulen,
during which some were reached with the Gospel for the first
time. The missionaries seem to appreciate the importance of
this kind of work, and also to give it a prominent place in their
methods.
A mid-week meeting for women, conducted by the missionary
ladies, has been full of encouragement. This meeting was at
first held on Efulen Hill; but, as the older women found it
difficult to attend after working all morning in their gardens,
the place of meeting was changed to the towns.
SCHOOL. — The school opened in February with a roll of 59,
"the largest atendance in the history of the Station. Several
things operated, however, to reduce the number materially,
among them the intertribal wars already referred to, and the fact
that no more clothing was given either for attendance or fidelity
in study. It is gratifying, however, to learn that there are now
44 boys in the towns about Efulen who have copies of the Gos-
pel in Bulu, and are able to read them. It seems impossible to
secure girls for the school, only two having attended during even
part of the year.
28 AFRICA — ELAT.
MEDICAL. — Dr. Johnson has found but little demand for
his professional services; the Efulen region being comparatively
healthy, and the people being unwilling to pay even a trifle for
medicines, although many are well able to do so. All reasonable
opportunities, however, have been taken advantage of; but the
physician has spent the greater part of his time in instructing
the boys in the school, helping to conduct the religious services,
and in itinerating.
ELAT STATION.
The second year at this outpost station closed with abundant
cause for thanksgiving. The work in a measure is the counter-
part of that at Efulen, being conducted among the same class
of people and by substantially the same methods. It has the
advantage over Efulen, however, of being planted in the midst
of a more densely populated region, many being within easy
access of the Mission premises. Like its sister station, Efulen, it
encountered difficulties in the shape of tribal wars, no less than
19 lives having been sacrificed in the region by these bloody
feuds. It is to be mentioned with gratitude, however, that the
missionaries or Mission property have never been molested dur-
ing these conflicts. On the material side of the work, the school
house has been removed and enlarged by the addition of another
room, the building answering the purpose of church as well as
schoolhouse. Eight acres of land, including a fine spring of
water, have been bought, so that the Mission premises now
include 16 acres, the land costing but a trifle over $1.00 per acre.
The people attend the Sabbath services in increasing numbers,
and with commendable diligence. The average attendance at
the Sabbath-school, which precedes the preaching service, is
about 90, including men, women and children. The attendance
at the preaching service averages about 100. "The people have
sometimes been noisy enough, but have been as attentive to the
Word as could be expected, and have even behaved with a deco-
rum, and at least outward form of appreciation, which would be
creditable to a civilized congregation." Daily worship at the
station at 6:15 a. m. has been attended not only by the school-
boys and the missionaries, but frequently by people from the
towns near by. A good deal of itinerating among the neigh-
boring towns has been done, with now and then a more extended
tour. Both here and at Efulen, the missionaries find a cordial
welcome wherever they go.
SCHOOL. — The school for day and boarding pupils reached
a total enrolment of 117, although the largest attendance on
any single day was but 44. Of these 20 were able to read the
Gospels in Bulu during the year. The ambition of many of
them is to be able to purchase a copy of the Gospels, and to read
AFRICA — MAC LEAN. 29
it. As with Efulen, deep regret is expressed that so few girls
attend the school.
This is accounted for in part, at least, by the fact that the parents or
the husbands (for tlie girls are often betrothed before they are ten years
old) keep them in town for menial services, and do not seem to think
that they need to know anything.
A good deal of attention has been given to training the boys
in industrial work, especially in cutting the grass and cultivating
the grounds of the Mission premises, with some rude carpentry.
These resident scholars have lived on the self-supporting plan. Every
boy, while well, has been required to pay in labor for all he has re-
ceived in the way of food and clothing. The service of two and a half
hours each afternoon is allowed to pay for the boys' food and salt (cost-
ing two and a half cents each daj'). Additional work has paid for the
meagre clothes necessary. This plan of self-support has been strictly
observed, and it is thought has worked well, serving to cultivate habits
of industry and a spirit of manly independence among the boys, as well
as operating in the interest of economy. The boys have generally fallen
in with the application of this plan as gracefully as could be expected
from those born and bred not over-fond of Avork, and to get all they can
without paying for it. But long ago, the boys began to learn that noth-
ing in the way of food and clothes could be had for nothing. So, with
the needful oversight, they go to work and earn their way as a matter
of course. The boys generally are a happy lot, and like to stay at the
Station, and it is a joy to see the moral and other improvement in most
of those who remain long enough to receive the impress of Christian civi-
lization.
MEDICAL.— The arrival of Dr. Bennett, the first medical
missionary to Elat, was a great Joy to the three noble men who
had for almost two years been several days from the nearest
physician. Dr. Bennett began at once to grapple with the lan-
guage, and at the same time to make provision for the dispensing
of medicine. A temporary arrangement was made for a small
hospital and dispensary, and very soon the people from the im-
mediate towns and from those at a distance, came for treatment.
About 100 different patients have been treated. The outlook
for this form of work seems to be encouraging. Much more
would have been accomplished had it not been necessary for Dr.
Bennett to make a journey to the coast. He went via Lolodorf,
where, in the good providence of God, he arrived in time to save
the life of Mr. Roberts, who had been taken seriously ill.
MAC LEAN MEMORIAL STATION.
The opening of this Station at LolodoTf by Mr. Roberts and
Mr. Kerr, the committee appointed by the Mission for the pur-
pose, is one of the marked features of the year. This location
was selected by the Committee because of the comparative size
of the population, its proximity to the Dwarfs, its accessibility
by government road, the abundance of timber for building at
30 AFRICA — MAC LEAN.
hand, the presence of a running stream of good water, the pro-
ductiveness of the soil, and the fact that the government officials
are close by, and assure the missionaries of a very cordial wel-
come. Among other things the committee report:
We spent five days at Lolodorf, and we can, after a careful search, re-
port that we failed to find a place anywhere which has so many things
in its favor for the building of a Mission Station. When we undertook
this trip, we tried to keep in mind the fact that this was to be as far
as possible a station for the Dwarfs. From the nature of these people
it is impossible to build a station in their towns, as they are ever moving
and may be here to-day and gone to-morrow. As the Ngumba or Mabeya
seem to be the only people to whom the Dwarfs attach themselves, we
deem it best to recommend the building of a station in the Xgumba coun-
try. We also recommend that the station be in the centre of a large
population, and tliat we seek to have the Dwarfs send their children to
school; the children, in turn, to guide the missionaries from time to time
to the ever-changing towns of their people.
LIBERIA MISSION.
Careysbukg: Rev. R. A. M. Deputie.
Don: Rev. George B. Peabody.
The policy of the Board with reference to work in Liberia, set
forth in the report for the year 1894, is indicated by the quota-
tion from its Minutes:
The council would report that, with the Committee on Africa, it has
repeatedly considered the question of the policy to be pursued by the
Board in its work in Liberia, that there seems to be no little strength and
earnest effort in the Presbyterian Church in Liberia, and that there is no
apparent reason why it should not be led to larger self-support. It
would recommend, therefore, that the Board continue its aid for a
while with this end in view, diminishing from year to j'ear the amount
of its appropriations, and encouraging the West Africa Presbytery to look
forwaid to assuming as soon as possible the complete support and control
of its work.
This policy has been pursued during the past year, and only
two of the workers in Liberia now receive any financial help from
the Board. The Minutes of the Presbytery of Western Africa
would seem to indicate, however, that the work is not falling off.
According to the last report that has been sent to the Board, the
following work was in operation under the care of the Pres-
bytery:

The Canton Mission, like all others in China, has felt in vari-
ous ways the great diplomatic and political movements which
have characterized the year 1897. The conflicting interests of
the great European powers, as seen in their efforts to secure con-
cessions at prominent points on the coast, have done much to
arouse government and people from the slumber of the ages.
Conservatism still holds the government in a strong grasp, but a
desire for something other than Confucian classics has revolu-
tionized popular ideas of education. There will be need of
wisdom, lest the highest aims of education, as seen from the
missionary standpoint, shall be sacrificed to that mere commer-
cial knowledge which Chinese youths are anxious to obtain for
business purposes.
One of the most noticeable facts in the present situation is the
tribute which government officers are paying to the missionary
service. In the bewilderment caused by the diplomatic rival-
ries of the European powers, these officers have in various in-
stances shown their confidence by selecting missionaries as confi-
dential advisers. The full reports of the Canton Mission speak
with satisfaction of the quiet and freedom from mob violence
with which the year has been characterized.
In the main, the health of the Mission has been good. Excep-
tions to this have appeared in the severe illness of Mrs. Lingle
and her child at Lien Chow; also, in the serious indisposition of
Mr. and Mrs. Kelly of the same Station, which required a change

for a time at Macao. Dr.^ Henry suffered for many weeks with,
iritis, from which he has fortunately recovered. Mrs. C. W.
Swan also suffered from illness, but has been restored.
Rev. E. P. Fisher, who had been absent from his Mission field
for more than a year, a part of which was spent in Japan, has
been constrained to resign his relation to the Board, and his
resignation has been reluctantly accepted on the ground of con-
tinued ill health. There is much hope that eventually he will
regain his wonted strength.
During the year W. H. Dobson, M. D., has been added to the
Yeung Kong Station. Miss H. Lewis has returned to her field,
and Dr. and Mrs. H. V. Noyes have returned to the United
States on furlough; also Miss Mary W. Xiles, M. D., accompany-
ing her father in extreme illness.
.Never has there been a year so marked with cheering indica-
tions and abundant positive fruits as that now closing. The
nineteen churches of the Mission present an aggregate of 1,877»
240 additions having been reported during the year. As, how-
ever, the beginning of the Mission year was set back from Janu-
ary to October, the Mission report covers but nine months. The
entire year would present a much larger total of additions.
The Second Church in Canton, and the San Ning Church, are
now self-supporting, and the Sam Kong and Third Church
pay one-half of the pastor's salary, while all the churches con-
tribute more or less to their expenses. Self-support is being
pushed vigorously.
The most successful mode of evangelization has been found in
the labors of native preachers under charge of particular mis-
sionaries. It is thus that the latter multiply their own influence.
The plan is far better and more fruitful than that which places
a missionary at full expense and with inevitable limitations in
the pastoral care of a small local work.
Eev. A. A. Fulton, who vies with Dr. Henry in evangeliza-
tion, has charge of five churches. Dr. Henry having seven. They
have been permitted to receive over a hundred members each.
The Yeoung Kong Church has been transferred from the over-
sight of Eev. Andrew Beattie to that of Eev. G. W. Marshall.
The Shui Tung Church was organized in October, with 30
members under the care of Eev. Andrew Beattie.
The Kang Hau Church, with 11 members, has been under
the direction of Eev. C. W. Swan.
The Fa Ti Church, connected intimately with the Christian
College in China, has been shepherded by Eev. E. W. Thwing.
CANTON STATION.
The Second Church in Canton has contributed to various
forms of work several hundred dollars. Its Christian Endeavor
CANTON. 35
Societies have been kept up. During nine months of the year
55 new members were received. Work among the women
has been accomplished in connection with the Canton Girls'
School.
In the Third Church one liberally disposed elder has assumed
the support of a native preacher who has done excellent service.
A larger number of converts would have been received but for
the persistent opposition of their friends.
At Shek Lung personal lay service by members of the Church
and without compensation has been a noticeable feature. There
is hardly any one element more worthy of cultivation than this.
At Liu Po the congregation have purchased a lot for a new
chapel. The membership was diminished seriously by the trans-
fer of 82 members to form the Church of Yeung Mui, which
was organized in March, 1897.
At Lung Tam a professional fortune-teller experienced a
remarkable conversion, after which he set to work zealously in
the cause of the Master.
In the Canton First Church, under the care of Eev. A." A.
Fulton, the medical and dispensary work of Dr. Mary Fulton has.
added an important element to the general success.
At San Ui the members of the Church fitted up at their own>
expense rooms for Bible study. The number of inquirers is-
large and increasing. A movement has been commenced for a .
new church building.
At San Niug a new church edifice has been completed, at a cost,
of about $6,000 (silver). The debt of $1,000, which remained
after building the structure, has been paid, and the church is;
now not only meeting its own expenses, but is carrying on a mis-
sion work in an adjacent town. Nine hundred and twenty dol-
lars (silver) was recently received from Chinese Christians in
California, to be placed in the bank as a permanent fund toward
the salary of the preacher of this church. The attendance at the
last communion nearly filled the chapel.
At No Foo $100 has been subscribed to purchase a lot for a
church.
The Church at Liu Po has enjoyed a good degree of prosperity.
Additions to the membership have been larger than in any pre-
vious year.
SCHOOLS.— The Canton Christian College, which is under
the direct management of a Board of Trustees in New
York, with a Board of Directors in Canton, has num-
bered in its faculty Rev. H, V. Noyes, D. D., who, dur-
ing the year, returned to the United States on furlough,
Eev. J. J. Boggs and Rev. E. W. Thwing. These have
been assisted by Chinese teachers in different departments.
The total enrolment of students has been 79. Six are of ^

higher department; 30 in the intermediate and 43 in the primary
department. The Board of Trustees had arranged for a depart-
ment in English, and appointed Eev. J. E. Gardner, of Vancou-
ver, as a professor in charge of this special work. He has been
prevented from undertaking it only by the illness of his wife,
which has rendered it impracticable for him to remove to China.
Plans have recently been entered upon for the erection of new
buildings for better accommodations for the College, for vigor-
ous prosecution of an English department, a higher depart-
ment in science, and also a department in medicine.
The Boarding-school for Girls has completed 25 years of inter-
esting and successful history. It is still in charge of its founder.
Miss Hattie ISToyes, assisted by Misses Butler and Lewis with
eight well-educated Chinese teachers. The first half of the year
150 pupils were in attendance. At its anniversary, nearly 600
women and girls were present at the service held in the Second
Church. Congratulatory addresses were made by missionaries of
different stations. During the 25 years more than 1,000 girls
have been received as pupils. Two hundred and seventy-two
have been received into the Church. This does not give the full
number of Christians who have been connected with the Semi-
nary, as some were Christians when they came, and some have
united with other churches. One hundred and eighty-two pu-
pils have been employed by our own or other Missions: As teach-
ers, 85; Bible-readers, 58; medical assistants, 9. Nine other
girls have been graduated from the Medical College, and five are
now in their course of study. Of the 150 pupils, 83 are Chris-
tians, 24 were received into the Church in June, and three in
September last. This is a noble record, truly.
The day-schools show the sad result of retrenchment. Of
the seven boys' day-schools, which are scattered over a wide
district and under the care of Dr. Henry, five had to be
closed for lack of funds. One of these had been maintained
continuously for twenty years; another was held in a house pro-
vided by the native Christians; a third, which had generally a
good attendance; a fourth had been opened at the urgent re-
quest of the people, who provided a house; a fifth where a build-
ing had been provided rent free. The teachers in charge of
these schools had to be discharged. This is a mournful history.
There is scarcely any form of educational work which can be
maintained so cheaply, and which yields greater results in pro-
portion to the outlay, than that of small day-schools under
native teachers, and especially when the houses are provided by
the people. Four schools have been maintained under the di-
rection of Mr. Fulton.
Of the day-schools for girls, eight have been in charge of Miss
Hattie Noyes, with an enrolment of 203.
A promising girls' school was opened during the year in the
CANTON. 37
city of San Ui with an enrolment of 23 pupils, but after few
months it was closed for lack of funds.
The school at San-Tso, with 22 pupils, was closed in July,
owing to the retrenchment.
At Yan-Sai Tai Kai the girls' school has been the means of
winning the confidence and friendliness of the people in the
vicinity who have hitherto been hostile.
In tlie School for the Blind, with 30 pupils, five were sup-
ported by missionaries in the Berlin Foundling House; there are
now 25 pupils. The ladies of the foreign community living on
Shameen have furnished the new building now occupied by the
blind with desks, tables and other furniture.
In the school at Sai Lung Li under the care of Miss Julia
Henry, religious services are held weekly in connection with the
labors of a faithful Bible-woman.
Eight of the Bible-women hitherto employed by the Mission
had to be dismissed for want of funds, and they have been em-
ployed by other missions.
GENEEAL EYANGELIZATIOIsT.—When the sad tidings
were received from the Board in New York that a
disastrous retrenchment had been made in the appropri-
ations; and that, after all specific reductions, there was-
still required a certain per cent, of reduction to be made and.
assigned by the Mission, those in charge of the evangelistic work;
were specially filled with dismay, and rather than see this vital
part of their work mutilated and destroyed they drew largely
upon their own resources, in order to keep as many as possible-
of their most faithful preachers in the field.
Headers of this report will not wonder at the disappointment
which was felt when they consider that, during the first six
months after Dr. Henry's return to his field from furlough, he
was permitted to receive to church membership in Canton and'
in the outstations 104 converts. It is doubtless by means of the
large contributions made from the private resources of the mis-
sionaries that the work has been so far maintained as to present
the largest number of accessions ever known in the history of
the Canton Mission.
It is to be remembered that, in connection with this work
at the outstations, of which Dr. Henry has charge of 14:
and Mr. Fulton of 19, around each of these 33 centres there-
are clusters of small villages, in which the native-
preachers present the Gospel to small companies of hearers.
Many little incidents are recorded in the Mission report for
which space cannot here be given — such as efforts to build
chapels or accomplish other laudable purposes, without depend-
ence upon the Mission treasury; varieties of experience in
preaching at market-towns; the generous gifts of wealthy Chris-
38 CHINA — LIEN CHOW.
tians (for instance, one in which a wealthy Chinaman in Aus-
tralia promises $1,000 silver toward a new building); the acces-
sion of men old and young to the Church; the putting forth of
lay effort by the church-members in outlying districts; successful
street-preaching; beginnings of special work among women; the
work of the medical boat, with its equipments of medicine and
force of native doctors, etc. Specially interesting is the experi-
ence of the native preacher at Shun Kok, who, since his conver-
sion, and during his labors on market-days and in the villages,
has seen the conversion of his wife and six children; also of his
mother and brother, and several of his relatives.
LIEN CHOW STATION.
I'he little church at Lien Chow is under the care of Eev. Kwan
Loi, as are also that of Sam Kong, whose contributions have
.amounted to $79.33, and that of Lam Mo, over the border of
Hunan. Eev. W. H. Lingle has been chiefly instrumental in
the organization of the latter.
The evangelistic work of the Lien Chow Station has embraced
the instruction of a class of inquirers, six in number, of whom
three united with the Church. A request has been received
from Lam Mo for the formation of a small class. Mr. Lingle's
assistants spent a month visiting and instructing the inquirers
around Lam Mo. At the next communion, Mr. Lingle baptized
several persons. A literary graduate of the first degree, and an
earnest Christian of three years' standing, has been employed to
labor in the neighborhood. A zealous but erratic native is labor-
ing without compensation as a lay preacher in the mountain
districts and among the lu people. He reports a number of per-
sons desiring baptism.
At Kan Wo, where some of the members of the Lam Mo
Church reside, an effort is in progress to raise funds for a little
chapel. They have appealed to the native churches in Kwong
Tung for what might be called home missionary assistance.
An earnest invitation was received at Lien Chow from Heng
Chau, signed by more than a dozen men, for a preacher and
instructor; others, also, were anxious to hear the Gospel. Two
assistants who responded to this call were delighted to meet
with Christians who had been baptized in March previous by
Dr. Griffith John, of Hankow, and at least a dozen more
were awaiting baptism. "Xever before,^' says the Mission re-
port, "was the outlook more encouraging in Hunan." Sixty-
seven persons there have been received into the Church this
year, and others are waiting for baptism.
Mr. Lingle and two helpers, while itinerating northward from
Lien Chow, were spontaneously and cordially invited by the citi-
CHINA — YEUNG KONG. 39
zens to preach in an open court, where the people assembled in
large numbers to listen to the truth.
The Boys' School at Sam Kong has had 11 young men and
boys enrolled during the year — one-half from Hunan, the rest
from Sam Kong and Lien Chow. Thorough religious training
is given to these youth, in the hope that they may be not
only converted but prepared for Christian work. Mrs. Lingle,
who is familiar with the Mandarin language, has had particular
charge of the school.
Miss Johnston has not opened her school during the year, but
has spent her time in other missionary work.
The Girls" Boarding-school at Sam Kong began the year with
15 attendants, and four have been added during the year. Three
members of the first class have been received into the Church.
Mrs. Machle, who had charge of the school, transferred it to
Mrs. Lingle upon her removal to Lien Chow.
Five day-schools have been conducted by the missionaries of
Lien Chow, mostly in adjacent villages. Mrs. Machle has taught
a Sunday-school for women at Sam Kong. One Bible-woman has
been employed under her care. A AVednesday afternoon prayer-
meeting has been maintained, and a class for Bible-study met
three times a week.
YEUNG KONG STATION.
At the Yeung Kong Station evangelistic work, both local and
among the outlying villages, continued during the year under
the direction of Mr. Beattie; Mr. ^Marshall at first giving most
of his time to language study, hlfe taken most of the work under
his care.
Seven preaching Stations have been maintained in rionnection
with Yeung Kong. For the first time since the establishment
of the Station, women have professed their faith.
At Ping Kong, 15 miles southeast from Yeung Kong, five
men have been baptized, and three others will be received after
fuller instruction.
At Chik Ling, 15 miles southwest from Yeung Kong, three
are many indications of religious feeling among the people, all
of whom seem friendly.
At Chik Ling, 15 miles southwest from Yeung Kong, there
persons have been baptized, and there are several applicants. In
October the Christians of this outstation and those of Mui Luk
were organized into a Church. In no part of the field are Chris-
tians more enthusiastic and warm-hearted in the work. It is rare
that any one is absent from the Sunday service, women carrying
little children six miles to church. In September a typhoon
drove the A\'aves of the sea upon this town, destroying nearly 100
houses. Eleven lives were lost, among whom was the daughter
40 CHINA — KANG HAU.
of one of the Christians. The rice crop for miles along the coast
has been totally destroyed by the salt water.
Mui Luk is 100 miles southwest from Yeung Kong, far down
the peninsula toward Hainan. This place has been infested by
robbers, once or twice disastrously. This year the work was al-
most stopped for two months by these depredations, or at least
the fear of them, and hundreds of the more wealthy left the
place.
A school was opened in Chik Lun, connected with the Yeung
Kong Station, and another has been maintained at Pak Kwan.
The Mission report takes notice of the fact that this work in
Yeung Kong has for several years been maintained by the Men
and Boys' Society of South Street Presbyterian Church, of Mor-
ristown, N. J.
Owing to various causes — such as mobs, pestilences, fear of
robbery, loss of health of missionary families, etc — many dis-
couragements have been encountered; but the outcome as here
reported must be gratifying to those who have born the chief ex-
pense of the work at this Station.
KANG HAU STATION.
Dr. and Mrs. Eeid, who reached this field the previous year,
have given their time chiefly to language study, though the un-
dertaking of some medical work seemed inevitable.
Mr. Swan's work has been divided between study, evangelistic
labor, interpreting in the Dispensary, building operations, etc.
The Boys' School at this Station has enrolled 24 pupils. The
Station has met with peculiar discouragement in the loss of two
helpers, and has since been unable to supply the vacancy.
While it is hoped that increased attention will be given by the
Mission to the thorough and protracted training of native
preachers, and that the College, with its enlarged plans, will
aid in the same direction, it will be seen that a wide field is open
for the employment of a class of well-chosen adults, who, with
a shorter course of study in the normal department at Fa Ti,
may be prepared for simple but earnest evangelistic work in the
widespread fields of the Canton Province.
MEDICAL WORK.
The Canton Hospital has been continued under the joint care
of Drs. Kerr and Swan. The female department was under the
direction of Dr. Niles until she returned home on furlough in
June, 1897. Since that time Dr. Fulton has taken her work.
The statistics for nine months are as follows:
CHINA— MEDICAL WORK. 4I
Number of visits from outpatients 2o,236
Number of visits from inpatients 1,22()
Number of operations 1,318
That AYestern medicine and surgery are becoming more and
more popular, is evidenced by the numerous professional calls
demanded by the higher classes.
Dr. Kerr was absent from the Hospital three months, in re-
sponse to a call to give professional treatment to the United
States Minister. In the Hospital morning prayers have been
maintained for inpatients by Dr. Henry and the native helpers.
Dr. Swan, in addition to almost constant professional work,
has also rendered good service in the evangelistic labors of the
Hospital. The medical class has been held as usual.
Dr. Fulton, besides giving medical instruction for women, has
prepared two books upon Diseases of Children and Nursing in
Abdominal Surgery. She has also maintained four dispensa-
ries. Sometimes the attendance in one of these has been over
100 daily. She pays a high tribute to her efficient Chinese asso-
ciates, especially Dr. Mui A Kwei, who for twelve years has add-
ed greatly to the extent and effectiveness of her work.
In connection with the medical work, it will be a matter of
universal regret that the operations of the medical boat, under
care of Mr. Fulton, have been greatly limited, owing to the
retrenchment ordered by the Board.
The members of the Lien Chow Station rejoice that their medi-
cal work has received a great encouragement in the erection of a
Hospital, for which they had waited patiently for years. The
formal opening of the institution occurred on September 30th.
It was soon full and bark sheds had to be erected to accommo-
date the overflow of patients. The building is two stories high,
with two apartments on each floor. The upper floor, which has
two large rooms for paying patients, is occupied by Dr. Machle
and family for want of a suitable residence. The lower floor is
composed of a ward, preaching-hall, dispensary and operating-
room.
There is an obvious disadvantage in being compelled to reside
in a building directly over the wards and the operating-room of a
hospital. The communication of disease, the close contact with
the suffering, whose cries of distress it is impossible to ignore,
and the general strain upon the nerves and sympathies of the
family — all point to the obvious necessity of a separate residence.
When this shall be accomplished, the room now occupied by the
missionary's family may be given as enlarged accommodation for
the patients.
The statistics of the medical work, some of which is still con-
tinued in the old building at Sam Kong (also partially a resi-
dence), are as follows:

Of these 324 were women specially attended, who were visited
during the absence of Dr. E. C. Chesnut, who is in charge of the
Sam Kong Hospital for Women. In this hospital over fifty dif-
ferent villages have been represented by patients who have
sought its blessings. Some of these were women of the lus,
coming for treatment from their mountain homes. Many have
received, as it is hoped, saving impressions of the Gospel. The
statistics of the Woman's Hospital are as follows:
Dispensary patients 2,666
Inpatients 28
Outside calls 78
Seen during itineration 650
Teeth extracted 30

At the Dispensary at Yeung Kong, which, previous to the ar-
rival of Dr. Dobson, was under the care of native physicians,
4,623 men and 2,548 women have been treated.
At Kang Hau medical work has been jointly conducted by
Dr. Eeed and Mrs. C. W. Swan, M.D. Dr. Eeed, whose chief
work has been language study, having been compelled to the
oversight of the work during the illness of Mrs. Swan. There
have been 1,000 attendances at the Dispensary, and a number of
minor surgical operations have been performed. A large num-
ber of patients have been turned away for lack of suitable quar-
ters in which to care for them.

Two hundred and three men and women have been added to
the twenty churches of the Central China Mission during the
year. The total number of communicants is now 1,505, who
gave, during the past year, $1,758.28 to the support of their
churches and church-work, and $995.02 toward the support of
their schools.
There are now three presbyteries in the field of this Mission,
the Ningpo Presbytery having been divided by the last General
Assembly. Of the old undivided Presbytery, Mr. Garritt wrote:
Almost without exception the cliurches of the Ningpo Presbytery are
far on the road toward self-support. No church which has a pastor gives
less than four months' salary toward his support. Some give six or more
months, and two — Ningpo and Hangchow — are entirely self-supporting.

44 CENTRAL CHINA — NINGPO.
This record is better than any other presbytery's in China. As
the report for Ningpo Station shows, the conditions are even bet-
ter now than when Mr. Garritt wrote.
The only two missionaries added during the year have been
Dr. Mary A. Ayer and Dr. Frances F. Cattell, who have been
assigned to the Soochow Station, in connection with the Tooker
Memorial Hospital.
NINGPO STATION.
CHUECHES. — Twenty-one were admitted to the Ningpo
Church, the largest number during its history of fifty-two years.
Of these, nine were from the boarding-schools. In June the
Zong-yu Church decided to become self-supporting, increasing
its annual gifts by $88.00. This was wholly spontaneous on
their part, and was announced by their pastor in a conference
held during the visit of Mr. Speer and Mr. Grant. After serv-
ice on Sabbath afternoons, it is the practice of the members of
this Church to scatter over the city in little groups — men, old
and young, women and girls — to tell the story of the Cross.
Thirty-three were added to the Zong-yu Church during the
year, the largest number added during one year to any church
in this field since the Ningpo work began. At Tong-kwaen
some men have been added to the Church through the influence
of their wives, and in several market-towns the work has been
very encouraging. The Siao-lu-deo Church has dispensed with
its church building rented at Mission expense. The Christian
Endeavor Convention, held at Yu-yiao in March, was larger
than the previous year, attended by 200 delegates, who preached
the Gospel as they went and came along the canals and on the
highways.
ITINEKATING.— All the stations have been visited, Mr.
Shoemaker, Miss Cunningham and Miss Eollestone having quite
thoroughly covered the field, while the evangelists and native
helpers have gone out two by two into entirely new territory.
WOMEN'S WOEK.— The native Bible-women have contin-
ued their house-to-house visiting when they were not itinerat-
ing. Two of them spent some weeks preaching the Gospel to
the women patients who came to the outstations to consult a
native medical helper, reaching in this way between nine hun-
dred and a thousand patients. The class for Bible-women dur-
ing the month of July was taught by Miss Cunningham in the
Gospel of John and the Epistle to the Philippians. Bible-meet-
ings for women, and especially one for twenty-five mothers,
have been kept up monthly.
EDUCATIONAL.— The year closed with three boys' day-
schools in session, all held in chapels under the supervision of
CENTRAL CHINA— SHANGHAI. 45
the pastor. Five girls' day-schools were in session at the begin-
ning of the year, but were closed on account of the "cut,"
although one teacher continued her school without salary. The
Presbyterial Academy secured an English-speaking graduate
from the Hangehow College to touch English and Aritlimetic,
with the result of drawing a great number of new pupils, who
paid $18.00 a year tuition; while the new teacher, an earnest
3''oung man, exerted a strong Christian influence over them.
The Presbyterial Academy is almost wholly supported by the
people; nearly all of its scholars are children of Christians, who
are recommended by some pastor or well-known member of the
Church. Forty-five scholars have been enrolled in the girls'
boarding-schools during the year, nine of whom have applied
for admission into the Church. An old graduate of the school,
who has made herself a good scholar, assists Miss Eollestone
and Mrs. Shoemaker, who have charge during Miss Morton's
absence. At Tsiu-ong, a country boarding-school was con-
ducted for the children of church-members who can study only
during the leisure months of the year. Twelve were in attend-
ance during the year at the men's training-class; and sixteen,
whose ages range from seventeen to sixty-nine years, at the
training-class for women. Six of the latter united with the
Church.
The Station has been troubled somewhat during the year by
the frequent requests of native Christians for assistance in edu-
cation. To reinforce the Station, the Mission adopted the fol-
lowing resolutions:
Whereas, we believe that it is not to the best interest of the native
Christians to have the foreign missionary talce any part in carrying their
cases into the Yamens; therefore, —
Resolred,—!. That Ave deprecate all interference in cases which are not
clearly and unmistakably infractions of the treaties in virtue of which
we are permitted to reside and carry on work in this country.
Resolved, — 2. That we decline to interfere in all eases in which finan-
cial interests only are involved.
At the very close of the year, Mr. Kennedy was obliged to
return home on account of his health. He had been living alone
in the heart of the city with none but Chinese companions and
neighbors, and had endeavored, on some country itinerating trips,
to live as nearly as possible after the fashion of the people, and
the strain proved too great.
SHANGHAI STATION.
In March, Dr. and Mrs. Farnham completed their thirty-sev-
enth year of service in Shanghai. Mrs. Fitch was obliged to
return home on account of failing health; and, during Mr.
Fitch's absence with her. Dr. Smith removed from Ningpo to

assist at the Press. During the year, Mr. and Mrs. Silsby
and Miss Cogdal came home on furlough, the former having
stayed nearly two years beyond the regular term of service, in
order to give Mr. Partch time for the study of the language.
CHUECHES. — Of the pastors of the three churches in
Shanghai, only one received even partial salary from the Mis-
sion. Next year none will. The membership of the South Gate
Church was 133. During the year the men of the Church have
organized a society, the object of which is to deepen their spir-
itual life, and to develop the men in actual service by enlisting
them in personal effort for one another, and in proclaiming the
Gospel among their associates and the heathen. The busy men
composing the Press Church have contributed $433.31 during
the year, aside from their Christian Endeavor collections, which
has more than met the expense of their Church, and have main-
tained a day-school. Their Endeavor Society meets on Thurs-
day evening, at the close of working hours, and has 56 members.
Eighteen joined the Hongkew Church during the year, includ-
ing one old woman, of whom the report says:
For years she never took any interest in the religion of Jesus, and on
one occasion, when she was induced to attend church, was subsequently
attacked by disease which she attributed to the effects of attending
church, and for years could not be persuaded to go again, until with-
in a year or so, when her attendance became quite regular. A few
months ago she made a profession of her faith in Christ, and her two
sons, who have long prayed for her conversion, had the joy of seeing her
received into the Church.
Street chapel-preaching has been kept up daily during the
year, with the exception of one month, though it is hard work
preaching to a swift-flowing stream.
OUTSTATIONS. — The South Gate missionaries have visited
the Station at Soong-kaung, 30 miles from Shanghai, where
there is a day-school, and Tseu-p'oo, 12 miles from Shang-
hai, where there are two day-schools and a licentiate, and Tsih-
pau, where the chapel was crowded on each visit. The report
speaks warmly of the Tseu-p'oo licentiate:
Even more hearty words of praise can be spoken of his earnest, en-
thusiastic little wife, who, aside from her other duties, has taken the
school, which had become demoralized by the former occupant of the
place, and has made it a model of good order; the teaching of the cate-
chism is now a strong feature in the daily work.
WOMEN'S WOEK.— Of the South Gate women, the report
says:
An eager desire to preach Christ is manifested by our women in making
opportunities to urge their relatives and neighbors to believe in Jesus.
Our aim is to develop the women of our church rather than to hire a
bible-woman. Our pastor's wife is a model of devotion and consistent,
CENTRAL CHINA— SHANGHAI. 47
consecrated living, while many of our younger Momen are earnest and
active. Each one present takes part in every meeting.
A "women's monthly prayer-meeting has been kept up at
the Press.
EDUCATIONAL.— The thirty-seventh annual report of the
Lowrie High School contains these encouragements:
Last year we reported progress in the line of self-support. Though
not having yet attained our ideal in this respect, the year in review has
seen farther development along the same line. At Chinese Xew Year
an advance was made in the price of tuition for new pupils, both for
the sons of Christians and outsiders — retaining, as before, the distinction
between these two classes. Instead, as might be expected, of depleting
the number of applicants, more came than could be accommodated, and
several were turned away for lack of room.
It is worthy of note that the Chinese themselves are becoming inter-
ested in the sciiool. An incident in point was their recent generous sub-
scription toward a new building. Their attention Mas directed toward
this object by Mr. Silsby, through his personal teacher, tue former hav-
ing suggested that this would be a more acceptable way of expressing
their appreciation of him than by the customary gifts that had already
begun to pour in. Before his departure, more than $600.00 had been sub-
scribed by students — old students and members of the Church.
In the Girls' School, 29 pupils were enrolled during the year.
Four girls were graduated, all of wdiom were active Christians.
Miss Cogdal has developed the school substantially, especially in
the direction of Christian character, thoroughness and self-
reliance.
The pupils taken in during the last tv/o years have been children of
Christians, and, in most instances, children of former pupils. The differ-
ence in disposition and aptitude at study shown by these little people,
compared with those Avhose childhood has known nothing of Christian
influence, is strong proof of the elevating power of the religion of the
Bible above even the best of man-devised systems. As the parents oegin
to appreciate the value of education for girls, they are willing to pay
something for it. 2s ow those who enter provide their own clothing, and
pay fifty cents a month toward their board. This may seem far from
self-support, but to them it is a great step in advance of having every-
thing provided by the school.
Five day-schools in connection with the Sunday-school work
have enrolled 119 boys and 30 girls. The aim in these schools
is, "to do all we can to give the children a knowledge of their
own classics and a practical grasp of the fundamentals in arith-
metic, geography and physiology, with a thorough impregnation
of the Gospel story and the plan of salvation. The picture-
cards sent from America were a great help as rewards of merit.
In July a social was held on our grounds, at which 61 of the
mothers were met with the Gospel. At this time they promised
hereafter to pay tuition as they would if their children were in
heathen schools."
At the Mission Press new pupils in the da3'--school are ex-

pected to pay three dollars a 3^ear toward the support of the
school, lu connection with the Hongkew Church, Mrs. Farn-
ham superintends two daj^-schools, containing 22 boys and 21
girls.
LITP]EAEy.— The Chinese Tract Society, of which Dr.
Farnham is Secretary, during the year printed 636,390 copies of
Chinese tracts, etc., equal to about six million pages, the work
being done at the Press. Dr. and Mrs. Farnham have been as-
sociated in preparing a Dictionary of the Shanghai dialect, and
Mr. Silsby has issued a fine Syllabary of Shanghai Colloquial.
SOOCHOW STATION.
CHUECHES. — The church in the city has erected its own
building during the year — a very simple building, in native
style, almost all the money for which was given by the native
members themselves. One old woman, a widow of one of the
former elders, who had in all a fortune of $100.00 (silver), gave
$80.00 to the Church, laying aside the remaining twenty for her
funeral expenses. The whole covst of the building, which has
only an earth floor, was about $450.00 (Mex.). That the Church
life is not without difficulties, Mr. Hayes' report frankly states:
There is a lack of brotherly love; when we look for peace and har-
mony, we often find quite the reverse. The woman who gave so liberally
for the Church, and who ought to be a pattern for the younger women,
makes it very difficult for them to live with her. Some of the members
are nearly always in hot water, and it is generally over some trifling
thing. One man beat his wife, and then allowed some of his family co
chain her up all night. When I tried to have the man brought before
the session, they seemed to think very likely she deserved the treatment
she received, and so the matter was allowed to drop. I was then informed
that there were very few of the men who had not been trained in the
boarding-schools but what would whip their wives if they had any provo-
cation or the necessary strength.
The Lion Mountain Church numbers nine members. Mr.
Lyon and Mr. Bailie have Avorked through the country, and Lu-
ther Hayes, eldest son of Mr. Hayes, accompanying Mr. Lyon,
as well as a boy could, has done faithful work in other ways.
EDUCATIOjStAL.— Twenty pupils have attended the Lion
Mountain day-school, and there have been 57 pupils in the other
day-schools. Forty boys have been in the Soochow High
School, five of whom have expressed their desire to study for the
ministry, and have kept up the weekly prayer-meeting. Not a
little has been done to teach the boys self-reliance.
Most of the student class in Ctina nave an idea that manual iabor
is degrading for people of their position. It was partly with an idea
to combat this false conception of life, and partlj' that I believed a
little hard work would be good for tne boys physically, that led me to
ask them if they would help build a church. Nearly all the boys
CENTRAL CHINA — NANKING. 49
seemed to enjoy the work. They dug out the foundation for the build-
ing, removing all the rubbish that had accunmlated during the Tai-ping
rebellion and dug up all the stones that were used in the foundation and
many more. This work was sandwiched in with their study, a half a
day for each. There was some talk from outsiders against it, but I think
it did the boys a great deal of good. The cook remarked one day that
they ate more than formerly. The health of the school has been excel-
lent. The new quarters may partly account for this, and the f^w weeks'
work they did may perhaps rightly come in for a share of the credit.
Owing to the "cut," we extended our winter vacation about a month.
Some boys were sent away, to make expenses suit the appropriations.
A number have been engaged in distributing books and tracts and
street-preaching. The assistant cook is as zealous as ever; he usually
spends two hours every afternoon selling books and preaching.
The boys have made commendable progress in their studies. They
are mo-fly from poor families, and so very little can be done in the v>ay
of seIf-si;pport. During the summer vacation three of the larger bojs
Avent C'Ut to work as servants.
MEDICAL. — During the year, by means of the generous gift
of Mr. Nathaniel G. Tooker, of New York city, in memory of
his wife, a new hospital has been erected, and with it a residence
for Drs. Ayer and Cattell. The hospital is erected on a busy
street, just outside one of the most used gates, and it is earnestly
hoped it may contribute toward breaking up the hard hearts of
the Soochow^ people, who have long resisted the Gospel.
NANKING STATION.
Work in this old capital city has moved forward steadily dur-
ing the year, with the help of faithful native workers, of whom
the report sa,ys:
One, our first Bible-woman, Mrs. Peng, a faithful and earnest worker,
has been taken away by death. For the past year she had been wasting
away with consumption, but labored for the Lord as long as she had
breath to speak, and won her mother over to the Christian faith on
her dying-bed. Elder Hsu, although seventy years of age, has continued
at his" post, with the exception of six weeks spent in his old home in the
Chehkiang province. For over twenty years he has continued to bear
witness daily in one or the other of the street chapels. Though no longer
active and aggressive, he continues faithful at his post, ready to receive
all who may come to inquire the "Way." The other elders and helpers
have been faithfully witnessing for Christ in city and country.
CHUECHES. — A second Presbyterian Church has been or-
ganized during the year, under the name of Grace Church. The
number of the members of the First Church is 99, nearly one-
fifth of whom live in the country. Grace Church started out
with 28 members, and 28 adults have been added during the
year on profession of faith. Taa'o street chapels are open every
day, and in three other chapels Sabbath services are held. Day-
schools form the nucleus of the congregations in these. At
four outstations, within a day's distance of the city, are other
centres of work.
50 CENTRAL CHINA — NANKING.
At Tong-dsing, the oldest of these outstations, where there are
over twenty Christians, the family of Yong Sih-ji have started a brick
kiln. According to their own words, the purpose was to demonstrate to
their heathen neighbors that Christians could open a kiln and turn out
good brick, without burning incense to the idols. They also hoped to
bring the laborers under the influence of the Gospel, and give work to
tiiose who wished to keep the Sabbath. The kiln was opened with a ser-
vice of prayer and song.
ITINERATIOiSr. — Mr. Drummond has made tours to the
south and east of Nanking, of which the report states:
They were the most interesting and profitable he has ever taken.
All the tracts and Bible portions taken were sold, and there was a
larger demand for New Testaments and large tracts than formerly. On
tne first trip he remained up until midnight, preaching to eager listeners
on four different occasions. On the last trip he found the officials of
Gao-shun-hien especially friendly, buying books and exhorting the people
not to be afraid of us, as our purpose was sincere and religion good.
Mr. Crozier, who removed from Sooehow for the purpose, has
spent a good part of his time traveling, in all, over one thou-
sand miles in the northern end of Anhui province, making
Hwai-jaien-hien the objective point of his tours.
He did not enter the city immediately, as anti-Catholic riots in a city
beyond had excited the people, and when he did go, \^-ith Mr. Stephenson
and the native helpers, they were well pelted with stones, and had to taho
refuge in a yamen. Heturning down the Hwai river and the Hong-tse
Lake, he had a good view of the grand and needy field, embracing many
towns and cities and great numbers of villages. On the second visit
to Hwai-yueu there was some excitement, but by spending considerable
time on the street he succeeded in allaying it somewhat.
Mrs. Abbey also has done a great deal of itinerating in the
country around Nanking.
Crowds gather around, but the women bring out benches and offer
tea and listen attentively. There has been no insult or anything to be
afraid of. Only on one occasion they went to an inn for the night.
It was one that Mr. Drummond and the helpers have often been
to, and the family was much interested. Mrs. Abbey was kept busy
talking and answering questions till after eleven. About ten o'clock she
made a move to retire ; but the inn kee] er's wife, who had been drinking
in every word, after her duties as hostess were finished, said: "Why, Mr.
Drummond always talks with us till the third watch (midnight)." After
wards she said to the Bible-women: "I Iikc what I hear of the doctrine
very much, but I am a little afraid. Is it true that they take out eyes
and hearts?" Stopping at the houses ol Christians or inquirers is very
profitable to both parties. The women can be met on a more intimate
footing, advice is more readily given anu received, and we have a- oppor-
tunity to see their lives.
The civil-service examinations, held every three years in the
provincial capital, brought 26,000 students to the city in Sep-
tember, and there the opportunity was at once seized of reaching
as many of these students as possible. Over nineteen thousand
packages of literature were distributed to the students as they
CENTRAL CHINA — NANKING. 5 1
came out of the Examination Hall after the final examinations.
Very few students refused to receive them, and many accepted
them with thanks.
Among the 26,000 students who thronged the city at that time were
a number from Ilwai-yuen. The Christian helper wlio had opened up our
work there was in Nanking at the time, and received a number of these
at his own home, and brought tlicm to see the missionaries. The dis-
cussions of Christian truth and of Western science were quite frank, and
they expressed themselves as willing to assist our work in Hwai-yuen in
any way. Some of these represented powerful and wealthy families, and
we are rejoiced to believe that this will be for the furtherance of the
cause at that point.
WOMEN'S WOEK.—
Two distinctively women's meetings are held every week — a tea-meet-
ing at Mrs. Houston's on Friday, where either Mrs. Abbey or Miss Dresser
conduct an informal service, and a number of women from the first
Church assist; the other is at I5an-bien-ying — in a room built for the
purpose with funds given by the missionary children of Turkey. A day-
school has been opened in this room on viie street, and it acts as a
sieve to let the women through and keep bacK all the men.
EDUCATIOXAL WOEK.— Five boys' day-schools, with 108
pupils, and two girls' day-schools with 30 pupils, have been con-
ducted during the year.
A step toward self-support has been taken in the boys' school, by re-
quiring the pupils to furnish pens and copy-looks. No more furniture
or stationery will be furnished, or any books but Christian books.
The Girls' Boarding-school has been carried on for thirteen
years. There are 28 girls in the school, and it is now organized
to provide two courses of study.
One giving an elementary education, wini Bible-study for girls who
come in at sixteen or seventeen years of age, and for those who nave not
the mental ability for a more extended education; and the other for
selected pupils, who give promise of usefulness to the Church in after
years. Those who have taken the shorter course can go out to learn a
trade. Four girls have gone out in this way during the year. They are
apprenticed to heathen masters, but with the condition that they can
have their Sabbaths free, and they attend all the Church services; one
expects to return after learning her trade, and to complete the advanced
course of study.
Thirty-three boys have been enrolled in the Boys' Boarding-
school, in which a Y. M. C .A. was organized, but dwindled al-
most away.
Mr. Houston then organized a Junior Society, over which he retained?,
a directing influence, and which has been a force for good. The older-
boys sulked, and their association has not flourished. One cause ol
the trouble has been the steady approach to self-support. There has been
an impression that, because they had consented to attend the school
for several years, they should have special privileges. When they found
that they were expected to share the responsibilities and burdens while
the pecuniary benefits were being diminished, they began to realize that
52 CENTRAL CHINA — HANGCHOW.
the school was considered an actual benefit to them, not their presence
a benefit to tlit- school. The school has passed through a stage in its
•levftlopment. It is more clearly understood that the school does not
need the jDupils as much as the pupils need the school.
In the Woman's Training-school, 13 women have been in-
structed in Christian books and the Bible.
This women's school has been a great boon to the Church. O/cr
twenty women have learned to read, and some have made remarkable
progress, considering their age and opportunities. Four or five are capable
of acting as isiblc-women, and all are able and willing to engage in
evangelistic work as they find opportunities, and are able to give a reason
for the faith that is in them.
The outlook for the ensuing year in all branches of the work is en-
couraging. The prospects for evangelistic work have never been brighter,
and we have never had such efficient helpers, and though the schools
have passed through some trials, yet they have also proved their useful-
ness and importance. Doors are open everywhere. Only the financial
outlook is gloomy. What siiall we do? We who see and realize our op-
portunities, are compelled to strain every nerve and put every dollar
we can into the work. Would that the Churches at home could see and
realize what we see, and do the same.
HANGCHOW STATION.
The new Hangchow Presbytery held its first meeting in the
Hangchow Church in September, and comprises the three
Churches of Hangchow, Sin-z and Tong-yang, and has eleven
members. The first meeting was characterized by a fine spirit
of love and consecration.
CHUECHES.— There have been ten additions to the Hang-
chow Church during the year.
One most interesting case is that of Mrs. Nyi, a woman of some in-
fluence, who, though not of a wealthy family herself, has access to a
great many of the better class of people. She was brought, humanly
speaking, to a knowledge of the truth through the teaching her little girl
received in the Girls' Daj'-school. She has been an earnest and attentive
inquirer, and Avhatever she has learned she has diligently imparted to
others. Her husband was inclined to persecute her at first, but recently
has let her have her own way. She has been coming to Church regularly
for a yeai', and Avas admitted at the September communion. Another
interesting case is that of quite an elderly lady, the mother of one of our
servants. She seems such a lovely character, the love of Jesus beaming in
her very countenance; and yet it is less than two years since she gave
up her certificate of merit, paper charms, idols, mock -money, etc. There
has been the usual number of conversions from the students in the
college with a number of inquirers. A young carpenter was brought
into the Church through the Young People's Society of Christian En-
deavor. His heathen mother said he had always been a good son, but
now he had gone to the bad, and it would be better if he had never been
bom.
ITINERATING. — Mr. Garritt gave considerable time during
the year to itinerating trips. The report says:
CENTRAL CHINA — HANGCHOW. 53
These were interfered with in the Spring by a severe attack of inflam-
mation in the legs, which disabled him from walking or hard work.
In one busy market-town, Zeli-men-nn, is a single Christian, a member
of our Hangchow Church, wao has opened a drug shop. He should be
remembered in our prayers as the only Christian in a dense population
of not less than GO.OOO souls. The five towns — Zzang-an, Yun-hwa, Zeh-
men, Zeh-wen-un and Tse-dzien, and the country tributary to them, com-
prise a population of at least 300,000, and we are the only workers among
them.
WOMEN'S WOEK.—
Mrs. Mattox and ]\Irs. Garritt have also been going to the upper city
once a week, to dispense simple remedies. They would see the sick in
an inner room, while the crowds that came were preached to in the front
room, either by Mr. Garritt or some of the helpers.
Mrs. Doolittle reports:
During the year, with my Bible-woman and the pastor, several coun-
try trips have been made and several hundreus of men and women have
been told of Jesus. Twenty-three cities and villages have been visited
and many isolated homes, where previously the feet of the lover of Jesus
had never carried the Word of Christ. All this has been done without
any direct results, but not without encouragement. As we view the work
from day to day and week by week, we feel it is very slow; but as I look
back to the days of 1S6G, thirty years ago, a wonderful progress has been
made. Let us hope and pray and labor on, for the day-star is shining for
us and for the heathen.
EDUCATIONAL.— Three day-schools for boys have enrolled
50 pupils, and one for girls 1-i pupils. At the Chinese New Year,
a class of three ^\'as graduated from the Hangchow College, which
has enrolled o-i pupils during the year. Of an interesting move-
ment in Government education, the report gives the following
facts:
The Chinese government has organized a College of Liberal Arts in
Hangchow this year. The Governor of me province has put the control
in the hands of the Hangchow prefect. The latter came to our Conege
and insisted that some foreigner from otir number should take the presi-
dency of the new school. Of course we could not spare a man, even if
it had seemed a wise thing to do; but at their earnest importunity (the
prefect came in person two or three times to urge us to help them), the
Station, after prayerful consideration, decided to give what help we could
in the way of organizing the school and helping there till the end of the
present year. Accordingly, Mr. Mattox has spent some little time in mak-
ing out a five years'curriculum, making a list of necessary apparatus,
books, etc., and purchasing many of the same. He also gave two hours
a day for a time to the organizing of classes, overseeing the teachers, etc.
So far about $3,000.00 (Mex.) has been spent on books and maps and
physical and chemical apparatus. By our influence a Christian teacher has
been engaged; the school is dismissed on Sundays, and some religious in-
struction has been given. This is a most interesting and helpful work,
as it strikes at the very bone and sinew of the Chinese nation; we earn-
estly hope that a Christian man, with a slight knowledge of Chinese, can
be found, who can take up this work and give his whole time to it.
They constantly insist on some of our Mission taking up the worK; the
prefect not only being interested in things foreign, but also in our re-
ligion, and anxious for an evangelist to take charge of the school.

THEOLOGICAL CLASS.— Five young men from Ningpo,
one from Nanking and two from Hangchow, were taught in
Hangchow by j\Ir. Garritt, assisted by Mr. Hudson, of the
Southern Presbyterian Mission. Five of the students have been
licensed by the Ningpo Presbytery.

The above total, being four million pages larger than that of the
previous year, is accounted for by the large supplies of books required
for distribution at tue triennial examinations.
As in former years, we have supplied type and other requisites to Mis-
sion presses in Foochow, Peking, Seoul (Korea) and elsewhere. A good
deal of time was spent, and pains taken, in supplying type, etc., to small
Mission presses starting operations in the distant provinces of Shensi and
Szchuen.
A notable feature of the past year, and characteristic of the growing
desire for light and the native endeavor to get some financial benefit from
it, has been the reproduction, by the photo-lithographic process, of a num-
ber of educational works originally printed at the Press. While there is
no copyright in China, successful attempts have been made to restrain
this unauthorized reproduction. This has been done from no desire to
limit the issue of good books; but to make it impossible for books to be
issued from native presses containing a large part of Western learning
with the application left out. In some reproduced books the essential
part is omitted.
Fully 120 men are employed in the Press (not including outside native
binders, for whom we have no room on the premises). Of these 46 are
members of Christian churches. Every morning at 7:30 prayers are con-
diicted in the Press chapel.
HAINAN MISSION.
Hainan: an island on the southeast coast; occupied 1885; established
as a Mission 1893.
KiUNG C'liow: missionaries — Eev. F. P. Oilman and Mrs. Gilman, H. M.
McCandliss, M.D., and Mrs. MeCandliss, Rev. C. H. Newton and Mrs.
Newton, Miss Etta Montgomery and Miss Kate L. Schaeffer.
Nodoa: Missionaries — Rev. P. W. McClintock and Mrs. INIcClintock,
Mrs. M. R. Melrose, Rev. William J. Leverett, E. D. Vanderburg, M.D.,
and Mrs. Vanderburg.
The Hainan Mission has experienced important changes dur-
ing the year. The death of Eev. J. C. Melrose, who died at
Nodoa, September 16th, brought heavy sorrow on the Mission
circle and upon the native Christians. The loss, humanly speak-
ing, seems irreparable. The circumstances of his death were pe-
culiarly sad. He had been watching over the lingering illness of
a little daughter for some weeks, when he was himself pros-
trated by disease. The little one passed away two weeks in ad-
vance of his own departure. He had labored indefatigably
while his strength remained, undertaking, as the senior member
of the Station, all kinds of labor. A half-finished sermon was
left upon his desk, when he laid down his pen — a sermon upon
which already the realities of the heavenly world seemed im-
pressed. The witness of all his missionary associates attests
his fidelity and his rare merits as a missionary of the Cross.
Mrs. Melrose, deeply afflicted, and having yet two little ones
to care for, courageously maintains her purpose to continue her
missionary work.
Eev. and Mrs. P. W. McClintock, hitherto connected with the
Kiung Chow Station, have been transferred to Nodoa, and
to the very home whence Mr. Melrose was removed to his heav-
enly rest. The loss of their own little child, their only one,
but a short time before, coupled with the solemnizing influences
of the place just now their home, seems to have brought a new
baptism for the great work which the destitute and benighted
masses of neglected Hainan set before them.
Duing the year Eev. Alfred E. Street resigned his connection
as membe:' of the Hainan Mission, his health having been seri-
ously impaired for more than a year, most of which time he had
spent in Japan. Mr. Street's labors in Hainan had been highly
appreciated by the Mission and by the Board.
Mr. C. C. Jeremiassen, who had for about two years been dis-
connected with the Mission, though still laboring under the
Board, became disconnected from the Board, and for the past
55
HAINAN — KIUNG CHOW. 57
few months has been at work in th southern part of Hainan as
an independent missionary. Mr. Jeremiassen was the honored
pioneer of the Hainan Mission.
Xo new missionaries were added to the force in Hainan during
the year.
In September, 1897, the new hospital which had been project-
ed at Hoihow, the port of Kiung Chow, three miles distant from
that city, was completed and occupied by Dr. and ]\Irs. H. M.
McCandliss, who are now residing in the house connected with
the Hospital.
This year Hainan has had a remarkable experience of Asiatic typhoons,
three of which occurred during the Autumn. One in September brought
great destruction. The wall surrounding the Hospital grounds was part-
ly damaged, and for a time the lives of missionaries residing at the open
port seemed in peril. A night of fearful anxiety was passed, but, with
the blessing of God, all the missionaries were preserved in safety. "The
damage to Mission property," says a letter of January Gth, "was nothing
compared to the destruction of Chinese life and property." Although
there were many lives lost September 17th (among whom were seven
hospital patients, who were in a junk returning to their homes), the
typhoon of November 17th was far worse. The whole Hainan coast is
lined with fishing-villages, and the boats were all out fishing. The French
Consul estimates the number of lives lost at 27,000, though his figures
are probably high; but we know that in one village, three miles from
Hoihow, the whole male population of 300 was carried away, and there
were only \\omen and children left. All along the coast it was much the
same, and especially on the south coast.
Besides typhoons, Hainan has suffered from a cholera epidemic. This
was so increased after the first typhoon that the hospital was closed for
a time for fear of infection and an increase of pestilence.
iSTotwithstanding the trials of the Mission and of the country,
the past year has been one of greater encouragement than any
previous year. Both in the local work of the Mission Stations
and in the experience of missionaries in itineration, there has
seemed a greater readiness on the part of the people to listen to
the truth; and although it is yet a day of small things, there
have been some precious souls gathered to the fold.
There have been rumors of the occupation of the Island of
Hainan by the French, but the latest reliable accounts give no
indication of such a movement.
KIUNG CHOW STATION.
A redistribution of force has been made during the year.
Eev. and j\Irs. C. H. Newton and Misses Montgomery and Schaef-
fer have removed from Hoihow to Kiung Chow, where they have
met with very great encouragement in their work. Eev. and
Mrs. McClintock, as above stated, have removed to ISTodoa; and
Eev. F. P. Gilman, released from the care of superintending
buildings, which had occupied him during the previous year, has
58 HAINAN— KIUNG CHOW.
pushed vigorously the work of itineration, both on the island
and on the peninsula of the mainland opposite Hoihow. The
field is everywhere ready for the harvest; but there is a great
deficiency in the number of missionaries, and in the force of na-
tive helpers and laborers. The Mission has not yet reached that
stage in which it can give efficient training to the men who are
needed and are everywhere welcomed in outstation work.
All the thirteen districts of the island have been visited ex-
cept three, and two of the three districts of the peninsula have
received some attention.
Eegular services have been maintained at Kiung Chow, an
audience of 80 persons sometimes being present.
Mrs. Gilman has labored as she was able among the women
connected with the Hospital; and Mrs. McClintock, before leav-
ing for Nodoa, also held general services for the women.
The loss of their only child, by Mr. and Mrs. McClintock in the
Spring of 1897, for a time impaired the health of the sorrowing
mother, necessitating a visit to Hong Kong for recuperation.
There has been considerable sickness also in the family of Mr.
and Mrs. Gilman. The children of Mr. and Mrs. Jeremiassen
also suffered from illness.
Mr. jSTewton has made commendable progress in the acquisi-
tion of the language, and although scarcely more than a year
upon the field, he is already beginning to conduct religious serv-
ices. He accompanied Mr. Gilman on an extended tour of visi-
tation through various districts of the island. One tour was
continued for over six weeks.
Misses Montgomery and Schaeffer, though engaged in teach-
ing, have from the first been efi&cient evangelists, laboring from
house to house among the ^vomen. Of late the numbers calling
upon them at their home, which serves for residence, chapel,
school-room, etc., is so great that extended visitation is pre-
cluded. Two short itineration tours had already been made in
the surrounding villages. Their faithful instructions and ap-
peals are making deep impression upon the hearts of the poor,
degraded women, who come to them for light and comfort.
The Girls' School, which has been removed to Kiung Chow,
reports 32 pupils on the roll. Something of an industrial ele-
ment has been introduced.
Mr. Gilman, in his various itinerations, has walked 500 miles,
and traveled 400 miles in small boats.
The medical report of Dr. McCandliss is full of interest. Ee-
moving from the old Hospital building in Kiung Chow upon the
completion of the new one at Hoihow, he was able at once slowly
to enlarge his work. In the course of the year he has had 273
inpatients, in spite of the typhoons and the cholera epidemic,
during which, for a time, the wards were closed.
In the Dispensary there have been 5,444 applicants, and there
HAINAN — NODOA. 59
have been several hundred minor operations, including 62 hos-
pital operations, some of which were for cancer and stone in the
bladder.
The Hospital, with its airy rooms for women, seems to revolutionize
the ideas of the people in regard to pure air, cleanliness, etc. "In their
own homes," says the report, "they occasionally sweep the floors, but
never Mash them, and, as for washing the beds, chairs and tables, once a
year will do for that. 'Why should they be washed so frequently? Why
should the missionaries put on that queer-smelling medicine (carbolic) ?" "
The Hospital is very convenient for the surrounding villages,
as it opens upon all the lines of travel. The proof of the appre-
ciation shown by the public toward the work of the Hospital is
found in the fact that, when the wards had to be closed to pre-
vent the spread of cholera, foreign residents came forward and
subscribed $800 silver for the erection of an isolation ward and
morgue. This building has been completed, and will prove a
great addition to the Mission Hospital, meeting the emergencies
of cholera, smallpox, or other infectious diseases without neces-
sitating closing of the wards.
NODOA STATION.
Mr. and Mrs. McClintock have found the state of feeling
among the native Christians susceptible and tender, and ready
for the reception of the truth. The care of the school, which is
the most important educational institution in the Island of Hai-
nan, will devolve largely upon Mr. McClintock, and both he and
his associates are striving to secure better accommodations than
those which have been provided thus far. "Owing to the lack of
room," says the Station report, in the present school house, the
boys have been sleeping in the printing-room, servants' quar-
ters, assistants' house, and a part of the time in a chicken-house,
so that discipline has been difficult."
Such a condition of things as this is not creditable to the
Mission, the Board, or the Church which is supposed to support
the work. The institution thus described is all that we have for
the education of boys and young men in the Island of Hainan.
Yet, in other respects, this school is worthy of great commenda-
tion, as these simple facts will show:
Twenty-four pupils pay for a part of their board, 7 board at home, 4
are earning more than their board by teaching or working, 4 are aided
by missionaries personally, and 6 receive help from the Board in full. To
none are books or clothing furnished. All the boys who are old enough
to think for themselves liave acknoAvledged Christ as their Saviour, 9
having been baptized — 5 this year.
A weekly prayer-meeting has been conducted throughout the
year by Christian boys, and has been attended more or less by
others. The three ladies of the Station have taken turns in
Co HAINAN — NODOA.
preaching short "sermons" on Sunday evening. The older boys
have received thorough instruction in the Bible and in homilet-
ics from Mr. Melrose until he was laid aside. The school has
been taught by others, and all have had at least three hours
daily in Bible-work. Surely, this thrifty but impoverished
school is worthy of better accommodations!
A Girls' School of nine pupils has also been conducted at Ko-
doa in the Hakka language. This school has been under the
faithful care of Mrs. Melrose. Most of the girls pay all or a part
of their board, and all furnish their own books and clothes.
Dr. Vanderburgh and Mr. Leverett are still compelled to
give much time to the study of the language. In the regular
religious services held at Nodoa, it has been found necessary
to preach a sermon both in Hakka and in Hainanese; the for-
mer being given by a Chinese helper, the latter by Mr. Mel-
rose. The congregations remained full, and even crowded,
through the hottest weather of the Summer, until Mr. Melrose
was removed by death. The only room in which these services
can be held "does duty for a boarding-school as well as for a cha-
pel. During the Sunday service, fully one-fourth of the floor-
space is taken up by pupils' beds in one end, and study-tables
piled high against the wall. On Sunday afternoons, "all within
our gates," together with the Christians and interested people
from the market (Siinday is market-day), gather for Sunday-
school. The Christians and schoolboys generally study the In-
ternational Sunda3^-school lessons. The carpenters and masons
engaged on the Hospital each form a class in the rudiments of
the Gospel; the latter taught in Mandarin, and the former con-
ducted by Dr. Vanderburgh in Hainanese. The three Confu-
cianist personal teachers have been put through a course of Eo-
mans by Mr. Melrose. Every night in the week, for the most of
the year, all the heathen servants in any way connected with us
have been brought together for religious instruction and prayer.
Two of them have asked for baptism. Two young men
have been living on the compound, one entirely at his
own expense, for instruction in the Christian religion, of which
they wished to gain a clearer knowledge." Mne persons have
benn added to the Church. The applications of several others
are pending.
In the medical work. Dr. Vanderburgh reports:
Visits from outpatients 5,229
Inpatients 64
Surgical operations 12
Visits from surrounding villages (not including
market-places) 20
From the first, medical work at Xodoa has suffered for want
of suitable accommodations. The present building, poorly
HAINAN — NODOA. 6l
built (the thatch of grass, and having only mud walls and floor),
has furnished such excellent harbor for germs, and has been so
damp, that even the more intelligent Chinese have refused to
patronize it. During the year, through the gifts of the women
of the Princeton Church of Philadelphia, a small hospital build-
ing has been commenced and carried far toward completion.
Evangelistic work in connection with the Hospital has been
faithfully maintained. An addition of $150 has been made by
friends of Dr. Vanderburg.
In outstation work, particularly at Nam Fong, 12 miles south
of Nodoa, and on the edge of the Loi country, a native helper
and his family have lived in the little structure used as a chapel,
where members preach on Sunday in the Hakka language to a
small congregation. Conversations have been held there in
Hainanese with the Lois who were disposed to listen.
Mr. Leverett, for a part of the year, spent his Sundays and
Saturdays at this place. Medical work has been conducted by
Dr. Vanderburgh at Nam Fong, though to a limited extent,
owing to the present work at Nodoa.
PEKING MISSION.

bury.
PEKING MISSION.
In Peking, the missionaries are at the seat of Chinese political
power, civilization and learning. Here the "Son of Heaven"
has his throne, and heaven, earth and moon their temples,
while the gods of the hearth, kitchen, wealth, war, famine and
pestilence have their shrines without number. Here,
where Buddhistic and Confucian religious worship is so largely
ceremony, and the national characteristic (pride) is so manifest,
preaching "Christ and Him crucified," to the Chinese both "a
stumbling-block and foolishness," is no easy task. Still, by the
blessing of God, there has been steady progress. The mass of
humanity is being leavened by the Gospel, and a few hungering
souls are finding the Saviour who alone can satisfy.
It is gratifying to note at both Stations a more definite policy
in the various lines of work. Plans are being made for self-
support, and the offerings of the people are increasing. The
situation is clearly different from what it was several years ago.
The knowledge of Christianity is deepening and is spreading
more and more widely. Fewer come from curiosity. When
conversation is had aside from the formal addresses to the audi-
ences, it is found that there is a better understanding of Chris-
tian truth. It is evident, also, that fewer come with the hope
of securing pecuniary advantage. The uniform disappointment
of those who have sought ric'lies by joining the Church must
necessarily discourage the crowd which is ever-ready to make
gain of godliness. Church members, too, are being led into
more active Christian eitort. The country work has been much
more thoroughly supervised, and an unusually large amount
of work is being done in Station classes. Large companies of
the unevangelized have been gathered into Sabbath-schools. An
industrial class for women, in Peking, has been self-supporting.
Freer access has been secured to the homes and confidence of
62

men in official circles. In all this there is much ground for
encouragement, ■while the ordinary work in chapels, schools,
translation and dispensaries has been well maintained.
PEKING STATION.
MISSIONARY FORCE.— The Station has been saddened by
the loss of Mr. and Mrs. Gill, who were obliged to resign on
account of the ill health of Mrs. Gill, while all have mourned
with Mr. and Mrs. Whiting and Mr. and Mrs. Cunningham over
the death of their little children. Dr. Wherry returned from
America in September, and at once began to assist in evangelistic
work in connection with the Second Church and the Anting
Hospital, and to resume his part in the revision of the Bible in
the higher Chinese style.
CHURCH. — The Church has had a year of steady progress.
It now has a committee on charity, so that all cases come first be-
fore the Chinese themselves, who assume the responsibility for
the relief granted. The total offerings have been enough to keep
a helper in the field, pay the incidental church expenses and a
foreigTL contribution to school and church. There have been
eight adults and two infants received into church membership,
which is now 108. In the Chinese first month, a class of in-
quirers was conducted, and made good progress. One man has
been since baptized, while three others are catechumens. The
expense of the class was borne by the Second Church.
The reasons for keeping the church pure in Christian lands
are even more cogent in heathen lands, where Christianity is so
little understood. The missionaries this year have had the sad
but important duty of disciplining a number of members and ex-
communicating one.
STREET PREACHING.— Street-preaching and the sale of
books have been carried on for a part of the year on Sabbaths
by squads of large boys from the school. February 21st, a num-
ber of rowdies made an attack upon them. The matter was
taken to the police station, and finally to the Yamen (high
court), where it was settled in a most satisfactory manner. One
young man, who "endured hardness'' in chains for nearly
twenty-four hours, rejoicing that he was able "to preach Christ
in prison also."
A special Sabbath-school for outsiders was an encouraging
feature of our work this year. At times more than a hundred
heathen crowded into the little chapel to sing songs and hear
Scripture truth. With a good force of young men from the
school, and with other members, excellent attention was secured,
and much good done.
64 PEKING — PEKING STATION.
ITINERATING.— Mr. Fenn has cliaracterized his first full
year of missionary service after final language examinations, with
energetic evangelistic and itinerating work. He was kindly re-
ceived, and found much to encourage him.
The country work at Huai Jon Hsien is carried on by Elder
Lee, who is supported by the Second Church. This work has
grown gradually for two years. There are now three persons
baptized, and a few others inquiring the way of life. A senti-
ment in favor of Christianity is being formed in the districts
round about by God's blessing on the godly life of Mr. Lee. At
Tu Kon, where a number of catechumens live, there is also a
promising work. They have service among themselves when
they cannot get a preacher. Mr. Teng, Mr. Yang and Mr. Lee
often stop there in their journevs to the regions beyond.
EDUCATIONAL.— The Girls' Boarding-school has had a di-
minished attendance on account of the new rules to admit only
children of Christian parents, to take no one under eleven years
of age, and to require each pupil to pay a semi-annual fee of
$1.20. As no other girls' school in Peking had ever suggested
the payment of any fee, Miss Newton w^isely called a meeting of
the parents, carefully explained the need of money and why
they should do what they could, and asked for a frank expres-
sion of views. To her gratification, all present cordially voted to
pay the fee. Thus an important step toward self-support has
been taken.
In addition to their Bible-study and prayer-services in the
school, taking notes of the Sabbath sermons and teaching classes
in the Sabbath-school, the pupils have made the sacrifice of
going without a part of their daily luncheon, in order to save
money to help the poor and in response to an appeal in the
church. They would have given up the remainder and gone
without a luncheon at all if Miss Newton had not restrained
them. In January, weekly Sabbath meetings were begun in
heathen homes, the Misses Newton and McCoy, the native teach-
ers and eight or nine of the older girls going out by twos or
threes to the various places where the services could be held. In
this way the Gospel was preached from January to July to about
1,500 people. The visible results included the happy conver-
sion of a dying man, the rescue of a bright girl of fourteen from,
a life of shame, and the bringing of a considerable number of
heathen children within the sphere of missionary influence. The
school is thus definitely working in harmony with the policy of
training Christian workers. Miss McCoy already gives valuable
assistance, and the native teachers are faithful and earnest.
The Girls' Day-school at Erh Tiao had an average attendance
of 12 the first half of the year. The latter half, the school was
closed so often, on account of smallpox, that the attendance was
much reduced.
PEKING — PEKINC; STATION. 65
Que hopeful sign of the work is an increased desire, on the
part of church-niemhers and others, to have the foreigners visit
in their homes, many more visits having been made this year
than last.
The year in the Boys' Boarding-school has been successful
in the amount and quality of the work done, but the number
of pupils has been greatly reduced by the cut. A Y. M. C. A.
was organized last Autumn, and now reports a total membership
of 33. The Y. M. P. S. C. E reports 2d observing the "morn-
ing watch." The average school attendance for the year was
40, and about $35 were received from the Chinese for tuition
and board. A number of the larger boys did colporteur work in
the country during the Summer vacation. The reports from
and of them are very good.
\70MA]Sr'S WOEK. — This has been far more satisfactory this
year than last. The Friday afternon prayer-meeting has been
regularly held and well attended. In Deceml)er a class of 10
women studied daily for three weeks. The effort brought about
two things greatly desired — study at home, and the passing on
to others of what they had learned; the latter was all the more
important, as there was no Bible-woman to help with the work.
The women who were farthest advanced, and who helped in in-
structing others, came for instruction themselves on other days.
ivEKDICAL. — The year has seen the usual large attendance at
the dispensarv — 18,451 having applied for treatment. In ad-
dition to these, 303 were seen in the country, making a total
of 18,754 patients prescribed for. Six country trips were made
lay helper Li; but as the attendance has been small and the ex-
pense great, it has been deemed wise to drop this work for the
present. Four hundred and eight surgical operations have
t)een performed — TS patients have been cared for in the wards,
with but one death. Daily morning and evening prayers have
been held in the Hospital. The patients always seem pleased
that Divine aid is invoked for them. Three of the medical stu-
dents are Christians, one of whom has been Dr. Coltman's
companion for nine years. A steady growth in the spirituality
of these young men has been observed. There is reason to hope
that, in the near future, two others \^ho have not yet confessed
Christ will do so. One patient who had been treated at the Dis-
pensary, and who is a well-to-do proprietor of a grain-shop, has
united with the Church, and is a warm-hearted Christian. Many
patients have professed to believe the Gospel; but, for one reason
or another, would not unite with the Church. While doubtless
some of these were not sincere, yet a good number were con-
Tinced of the truth. Dr. Coltman writes:
During the year I have had many opportunities of conversing with
young mandaiins about Jesus, and although most of them heard me re-
(£ PEKING — PAOTINGFU.
spectfully, only a few have manifested enough interest to read the boolcs-
I have loaned them- — a notable exception, however, being the son-in-law
of Prince Ting. I have urged on the Viceroy, Li Hung Chang, his ac-
ceptance of Christianity, but although he admits that the "doctrine is
good," he has never, so far, said he believed Jesus Christ was the Saviour
of the world. I know he reflects about it, from remarks he sometimes
makes, and I earnestly pray that this truly great old man may learn,
to trust in the Saviour.
Working among the Mandarins is harder than among the
poor; but it is plain that their prejudices are being broken
down. This is certainly the first step toward winning them.
Contact with Christian foreigners shows the haughty Mandarin
that a man educated far beyond his ken is willing to meet him,,
teach him, treat him — yea, and love him — for what? He must
at last realize that it is for Jesus' sake.
Mrs. Coltnian talks daily in the woman's waiting-room to the
assembled patients, and Mr. Ch'en, the Hospital evangelist, al-
though a man of limited education, has ready sympathy with the
sick, and great influence over them. Altogether, the work is de-
cidedly encouraging.
THE WOMAN'S DISPENSARY was opened by Dr. Leonard
on the 4th of January, and from that time until the 1st of July
three afternoons a week were devoted to dispensary work. The
number of consultations was 1,817, and of in-patients, 11. The
latter was purposely kept low, in order to reserve time for the
study of the language. Since January 1st, 57- visits were made
to homes. In these homes, and to all the in-patients and dis-
pensary patients, the Gospel has been faithfully preached by
Miss McKillican or Mrs. Fenn. Some have shown interest, but
as yet there has been no proof of lasting good. But ''God's
Word shall not return unto Him void."
PAOTINGFU STATION.
The members of this Station have enjoyed a year of good
health, quiet but earnest work, and friendly protection of life
and property by the local officials. It is one of the youngest of
the China Stations, but its field is great and promising and its
work is being carefully planned.
EVANGELISTIC— The Street Chapel, under the care of
Mr. Lowrie, assisted by a graduate of Tungchow College, has
l^een open every day in the week; and, in addition to city attend-
ants, a goodly number of country people on their way in and out
of town drop in. Some of them are already past the stage of
transient hearers. The seed is thus being widely sown. Chapel
attendance is regularly larger on Dispensary days, showing one
wav in which the medical work aids in disseminating the truth..
PEK1»JG — PAOTINGFU. (>J
There were no accessions during the year, and Mr. Lowrie gives
as the chief reasons:
1. Cod's Spirit was not with us in power.
2. Caution in admitting those whose experience is doubtful.
3. Announceinont that all members must support themselves.
4. Opposition of influential members of the Christian community.
There are, however, seven applicants for haptism, while the
Sabbath-school, ably superintended by Dr. Taylor, has been a
great benefit.
Inquirers' classes have probably been the most fruitful work
oarried on by the Station. Five were held for ten days each.
Ninety persons, representing 30 villages and four districts,
were gathered into these classes. Each member, after his first
attendance of ten days, was required to contribute something
toward his food. The Catechism, the Gospel by Matthew and
New Testament history were taught. Commendable progress
was made.
Other smaller classes were conducted during the year, with
very gratifying results. Considerable itinerating has been
done by Dr. Atterbiiry and Messrs. Lowrie and Simcox.
Many villages were visited, medicines dispensed, fairs attended,
books sold and the Gospel preached. The misionaries were well
received and report prosperous journeys.
During the year seven men and two women were baptized by
Mr, Simcox at Men Cheng and Chia Chwang, the men all be-
ing of maturity and influence.
WOMAN'S WOEK. — Of woman's evangelistic work, Mrs.
Lowrie has done the chief portion, though the other ladies have
also labored as opportunity permitted. A woman's class of ten
days resulted in two accessions to the church at the country
outstation. Mrs. Lowrie became interested in an old woman in
the north suburb, who is regarded by the Chinese as a devout
person. She had spent her all, said to have been a thousand
taels, upon false religions. She heard the truth, loved it, and
has received it in a most earnest and encouraging way.
There is an exceptionally wide and inviting field in and about
Paotingfu for evangelistic work for women. The temporary
transfer of Miss McKillican from Peking has brought most wel-
come assistance, but a permanent reinforcement is greatly
needed.
EDUCATIONAL. — Mrs. LoM^rie has opened a day-school for
girls. Seventeen have come daily and made good progress, Mrs.
Simcox teaching them the Gospel on the Sabbath, and Mrs. Mil-
ler reviewing them each Saturday and instructing them in sew-
ing. Apart from this, but one school was maintained through-
out the year, and that the one in which English was taught.
68 PEKING — PAOTINGFU.
The number of pupils remained unchanged — onl}^ two. The
school would have prospered numerically, if opening prayers and
Christian teaching had been omitted; but the missionaries very
wisely refused to leave Christ out. Accordingly, the school has
been discontinued.
MEDICAL. — The Dispensary connected with the street-
chapel has been open only on even days of the Chinese calendar,
the number in attendance varying from five to 129.
A dispensary at the western end of the residence compound
in the country was opened in February, and has been continued
since with clinics on the odd days of the Chinese calendar.
From November to April, Dr. Atterbury conducted a dispensary
at each of the two outstations twice a month. He also carried
medicines with him on a number of book-selling tours to neigh-
boring market-towns and villages. As a rule, patients were nu-
merous, though unfortunately the statistics were mislaid at the
time of Dr. Atterbury's return to America.

been done:

The close of the year saw the storm centre of political agita-
tion transferred from Turkey to China. As the murder of the
two German Catholic missionaries in November occurred in the
territory of the West Shantung Mission, and as Kiao-chau Bay,
I the point seized by the CTcrman government, is in the territory
!of the East Shantung Mission, both Missions have felt the dis-
turbing elfect. For a time we were quite anxious lest both
missionary life and property might be endangered by mob vio-
lence, as we well knew that the natives were greatly excited, and
that demonstrations against foreigners might be expected. But,
in the good providence of God, none of our missionaries were
molested, nor has any of our property been destroyed. The
daily press has kept the public so well informed regarding the
j)olitical aspects of the situation that they need not be discussed
'here. Suffice it to state that our experience in Africa has taught
[us that the German government is not unfriendly to American
JProtestant missionary effort, while the projected railroad and
jtelegraph lines from Kiao-chau will, of course, render the vari-
jous parts of the province more accessible, shorten the novv^
[tedious Journey inland, and lessen the loneliness and isolation of
I the interior Stations.
That an important centre will develop at Kiao-Chau is highly
probable. Whether its development will be at the expense of
Chefoo, and whether it will be desirable later to open a Station
at Kaiao-chau, remains to be seen. The region about Kiao-
Chau Bay is a part of Dr. Hunter Corbett's itinerating field, and
contains a number of Christians.
CHEFOO STATION.
MISSIONAEY FORCE. — Mr. and Mrs. Elterich have been
permanently transferred to this Station, though they are now in
America on furlough. In September, Dr. and Mrs. Corbett

returned from a furlough, which was supposed to be for rest,
but which was really characterized by indefatigable labors among
the home Churches. He spoke with apostolic zeal and power
to hundreds of congregations and missionary gatherings, and in
every place he gave a mighty impetus to the cause.
EVANGELISTIC WORK IN THE COUNTEY.— The east-
ern part of the field seemed for many years to be impervious
to the truth, and the faithful work done there to be almost with-
out result. But there is now a most encouraging development,
and during the year 73 persons have been added to the Church.
There are also many hopeful inquirers. New day-schools have
been planted, places of worship opened, and the people roused
to a deeper sense of their duty in giving for the support of the
Gospel. Mr. Cornwell writes: "I have baptized more persons
this year than in the combined five years of my previous
ministry."
In the western part of the field, the additions were not so
large as during last year. Still, 20 were received on confession
of faith. The evangelist in charge, Mr. Li Shih Ho, has done
much faithful work in exhorting and persuading Christians to
renew their vows.
DISCIPLINE. — The missionaries have been at great pains to
induce a better understanding among certain of the native breth-
ren, whose spiritual growth had been somewhat blighted by
feuds. This work has been followed with good results. Particu-
lar attention has been paid to discipline, mostly of a persuasive
and reformatory character — by which, at one time or another,
quite a number of Christians have been brought individually
before the session and affectionately admonished and prayed for.
In one instance, an entire family, suspended from the Church
for a grievous offense, was restored to communion, having mani-
fested a spirit of sincere repentance.
INQUIREES' CLASSES.— These are among the most effi-
cient means of evangelization, and 12 have been conducted dur-
ing the year, some of them having as many as 40 members. In-
quirers, with a certain percentage of mature Christians, came
together for a month, under a competent teacher. They make
a quiet and regular study of the elements of Christianity, receive
daily instruction in the Christian life, and gain a general con-
ception of the nature and aims of the Church. The expense of
such a class is very small, only about two cents a man each day.
The total time spent in itineration this year, by members of
the Station, was 368 days. After a tour of QQ days and 1,000
miles, Dr. Corbett writes:
"It has made glad my heart, and strengthened my faith in the power of
the Gospel, to mci'i hundreds of Christian converts who, in the midst of
EAST SHANTUNG— CHEFOO. 7I
persecution and unfavorable surroundings, are holding fast their profes-
:Sion.
EVANGELISTIC WORK IN CHEFOO.— Two street chap-
•els have been in constant use, and in them large numbers of
people from widely separated provinces have heard the Gospel.
Comparatively few additions to the Church result from such
services. There have been some, it is true, and occasionally a
flourishing work in some country district has had its origin from
some man who first Ijccamc interested by hearing the message in
the street chapel. But, apart from direct results, the work is
valuable in affording a place where the missionaries may vindi-
cate their object to the people and fulfill the last command of
the Master. Undoubtedly such preaching exerts a vast, even
though quite untabulated, influence, which in due time will be
made manifest.
Services have been maintained in the Temple Hill Church, as
usual. The congregations literally pack the, building. It is,
therefore, proposed to hold services simultaneously in two other
•centres. Weekly prayer-meetings, one for men and one for
women, have been conducted throughout the year.
Mr. Cornwcll's work, begun among the 700 employees of the
silk factory, has steadily developed during the year. There are
now 60 apprentices who keep the Sabbath, eight of whom are
•church-members, and 10 more are expecting soon to make a
confession of their faith. A night-school has been maintained
a part of the year. The buildings put up by Mr. Comwell are
already inadequate for the growing work, but a native member of
the Chefoo Church has temporarily loaned other property. The
bath is well patronized, and is a means of interesting many.
The gAmnastic apparatus in the yard is much enjoyed by the
■factory hands. A reading-room is about ready for opening, and
will contain a circulating library in addition to papers and maga-
zines. On the Sabbath three services are held on the place, with
an average attendance of 70. Native gentlemen have made such
generous gifts that the work is practically self-supporting.
EDUCATIONAL.— The Day-schools in Chefoo have been in
session as usual. A large proportion of the pupils come from
Tion-Christian homes ,which are often reached through the chil-
dren. All the pupils receive Christian instruction, attend the
Church services, and are taught by Christian teachers. The
conditions of admission are guarded with increasing care.
The Boarding-schools in Chefoo comprise the Boys' School
and the Normal School. Last Spring they had about 50 board-
•ers; but the heavy cut forced their suspension for an indefinite
period. In October the missionaries decided that, while the
country boarding-schools could not be resumed, they would take
72 EAST SHANTUNG — CHEFOO.
15 picked boys from the whole field as boarders in Chefoo, and 10
men from the Normal. There are, accordingly, at this time
25 boarders in the two schools.
The English School was opened tentatively in the Autumn.
There are 31 boys in attendance, and without cost to the Board.
Of these boys, 12 are boarders, paying their own expenses, and
19 are day-pupils. The boys all attend morning prayers and
Scripture study. Mr. Bergen writes:
This department was opened — 1st, because of the increasing demand
for English on the part of the Chinese, and the fact that it is taught
by missionaries in every port in China; 2d, because of the strong desire
felt to have a self-supporting school; 3d, and chiefly, because we can so
reach a hitherto untouched constituency, and bring both boys and parents
more or less under Christian influences.
COUNTEY SCHOOLS. — The boarding-schools have been
practically closed,,though there are still a few boarders, who are
supported half by the Mission and half by their friends.
None of the country day-schools have been suspended on ac-
count of the cut. These schools are of value, not only for the
intrinsic importance of the education furnished the pupils, but
also for their moral effect on outsiders, and as furnishing a local
rallying centre for the Christians, where they can meet for serv-^
ices on Sabbaths, or at other times. In nearly all cases, the
schoolhouses are rented by the villagers, without expense to the
Board.
LITEEAEY WOEK. — Mrs. Nevius has revised the memoir
of Dr. Nevius in both the Wenli and Mandarin versions, and they
are now in the press. She also has two other books under way,,
and has written a number of articles for the Natural Foot Soci-
ety, which was organized last Spring, and, as a member of the
Committee, has given a good deal of attention to the reform.
Gratifying progress is being made.
The Station Secretary adds:
We cannot close this report without referring to Miss Bainbridge,
who, though not a member of the Station, and without salary, has yet
been abundant in labors in connection with the schools. Miss Downing^
has also given valuable assistance in various ways.
We were greatly pleased by the visit of Mr. and Mrs. Speer and Mr,
Grant. In August we had a large class of preachers and t«achers as-
sembled for conference and study, and the class was concluded with the
meetings held by Mr. Speer. We indorse thoroughly the policy of the
Board in sending a Secretary to visit the field personally. Such a jour-
ney, with its repeated opportunities for public and private conference,
infallibly leads to a better mutual understanding. We would particu-
larly iirge that enough time be given tne Secretary to enable him to
visit all the interior stations of the Mission.
EAST SHANTUNG — TUNGCHOW. 73
TUNGCHOW STATION.
Here also the work has been aggressive and encouraging. The
natives have been friendly, and there has been no serious opposi-
tion or persecution. What little trouble did occur was chiefly
due to the anti-foreign Governor, who has now been promoted
to another province. The indifference, so long manifested in
the city, is slowly wearing away. There are a few students and
inquirers from the higher classes, and a friendly social relation
with several families of influence. The interest in and desire
for the western science still ineroasos.
MISSIONAEY FOECE.— The missionary circle has experi-
enced both joy and sorrow. The health of Dr. Seymour, who
was ill so much of last year, has greatly improved. The arrival
of Dr. and Mrs. Chas. Lewis, full of life and plans for their pros-
pective work, was a .joyful advent. They were greatly loved by
both natives and foreigners. Later, Mr. Wells came to open a
civil engineering department in the college. Then Mr. and
Mrs. H. W. Luce were gladly welcomed, and quickly won a large
place in all hearts. Miss Grier, though like Mr. Wells, not a
member of the Station, has continued to helpfully co-operate.
But the last of March, a messenger from God silently bore
away the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Hayes, and on
the 31st of May the death angel came again for the beloved wife
of Dr. Lewis. She died, after a brief illness, of virulent small-
pox. Her death is deeply mourned, for she was unusually well-
fitted for her work, efficient in herself, and an inspiration to
others. As these pages go to press, tidings come of the final
blow in the death of Mrs. Calvin W. Mateer, after a long and
painful illness. She was one of the most remarkable women of
this generation, and during her 36 years ofmissionary service she
exerted an extraordinary influence. Tungchow College could
never have been what it is without her, and every one of its grad-
uates has been molded by her. Multitudes, both at home and
abroad, loved and honored that wise, strong, noble-hearted
woman, and our sense of irreparable loss is mingled with tearful
gratitude to God for her life of wonderful usefulness and power.
By invitation from the West Shantung Mission, Dr. Chas.
Lewis has been transferred to Chinanfu, in order that he may
take up the medical work there on Dr. Neal's return to the
United States next year.
CHUECH. — The gTOwth of the city Church this year com-
pares very favorably with other years. Sixteen new members
were received during the year. The (Church raised about $130
(Mex.) for the work, kept an evangelist in the field, and also de-
frayed some general Church expenses. The total membership is
now 212. The Sabbath-school has had an attendance of over 200.
74 EAST SHANTUNG — TUNGCHOW.
An interesting feature is the juvenile department of children
from the street. The average attendance is 132, and the inter-
est is growing.
EVANGELISTIC. — Considerable work of this kind has been
done in and about the city. A native helper stays at the Church
a. part of each day, to distribute tracts and talk to any who come.
Preaching services have been held at the Dispensary and the
Hospital. The College Volunteer Band sends out four young
men nearly every Sabbath to preach in the city and neighboring
villages. The Bible- worn en have been kept busy, and three or
four weekly prayer-meetings for women have been conducted by
the ladies of the Station. Some of the latter have visited the
natives in their homes, and also received and taught them in
their own houses.
The evangelistic work in the country has been most encourag-
ing. In both the Lai Chowfu and Ping-tu districts, the Holy
Spirit has manifestly been at work. Special meetings were held
in the former, with very satisfactory results. Mr. Irwin was
greatly assisted in this work by a native helper and two theolog-
ical students. Moreover, he enlisted the elders, deacons and
others, and so had a good working force, which he divided into
four or five parties for systematic tours. Twenty or more vil-
lages were thus reached, and often over a thousand willing lis-
teners a day. Preaching and prayer-services of several days'
duration led up to the communion seasons at each Station. In-
quirers' classes were held and made good progress. The work
among the women in these fields has been particularly gratify-
ing. Special mention is due Mrs. Mills for her work in the Lai
Cliaofu district. Five of the class taught by her and her Bible-
v.omen were received into the Church. At Lai Chaofu 50
were received during the year on confession of faith, almost
<:ioubling the membership, and in the Ping-tu district 29, making
with the 16 received at Tunchow, a total of 95 received on con-
fession during the year, and a total membership for the Station
of 511.
EDUCATIOiSrAL. — The educational work has been making
progress along all lines.
COLLECxE. — The College has had an average attendance of
111, while not a few have been turned away for lack of room.
The young men have been required to do hard work in order to
complete the year's course in less than the usual time, the terms
being shortened for want of funds. Yet the}'' have done their
work faithfully and cheej-fully. The spiritual life of the col-
lege is good. The Y, M. C. A., organized last year, has proved
a great blessing to the young men, and now has an active mem-
bership of 66. There is a marked missionary spirit among them,
over 80 being active members of the Missionary Society and do-
EAST SHANTUNG — TUNGCHOW. 75
ing active Christian work. Ninety out of the 107 are professing
Cliristians, ten having united with the church during the year.
Tliree have a Chinese degree. Year by year the lesson of self-
support is being taught, and there is a gradual trimming off of
all extras formerly provided by the college. This year still less is
furnished them than last year, and the students are hereafter to
defray their own traveling expenses to and from their homes.
This enables the faculty to increase the number of students with
the same outlay of funds.
The Board feels that this college merits the special interest
and prayers of the Church. It is satisfactorily working out
sound principles of education on the Mission field. Its training
is thorough, Chinese and Christian. It is one of the very best
Mission Colleges in the world, and its graduates do not flock to
America, or become petty clerks or household servants of Euro-
peans in seaport towns, or mere dependents of the Misson, to be
fed and clothed and employed for life; but they become men of
independent influence for Christ among their own countrymen.
All of its 150 graduates have been Christians — a truly remark-
able record.
GIELS' HIGH SCHOOL. — The Girls' High School is also
doing good work. It admitted this year 13 ne'v scholars,
making the total number 42 — 33 of whom have natural feet. All
l)ut 10 are professing Christians, three having united witfi the
church during the year. There has been a marked advance in
the spiritual life of the school. The girls who showed little
signs of improvement and interest in study have been weeded
out, and those who remain give promise of much usefulness. All
those who return home at the close of school paid their own trav-
eling expenses, while most of the others paid for their board,
which shows that there is an increased desire on the part of the
'Chinese to have their daughters educated.
COUNTRY BOAPtDING-SCHOOL.— It is not the policy of
the Station to support country boarding-schools, and conse-
quently there are none for boys, and only one for girls, and that
one superintended by the wife of the native pastor in Ping-tu. It
has 27 scholars, only 16 of whom are boarders. Here many
^irls in that district have the opportunity to fit themselves for
entering the Girls' School in Timgchow at a comparatively
small expense. There are two small country day-schools for
girls with 11 scholars, and two city schools for both boys and
2;irls, with about 35 pupils, all supported on the field.
THE BOYS' DAY-SCHOOLS.— These schools have proved
to be a good evangelistic agency, furnishing a preacher and
teacher, a means of holding the Ciiristians together, and of keep-
ing up regular Sabbath services, and also a centre of influence
76 EAST SHANTUNG — TUNGCHOW.
in non-Christian villages. From these schools 10 have been
received into the church during the year, and many homes have
been reached through them. There are 11 schools, with a total
of 154 pupils. Two of these schools are supported on the field,
while all are required to pay from one-fifth to one-quarter of
their expenses.
LITEEAEY WORK.— Dr. Mateer has spent much time on
Bible translation, as a member of the Revision Committee. He
has also prepared a new edition of his Mandarin Lessons, and re-
vised some college text-books. Mr. Hayes has also been actively
engaged in literary work. Besides the bi-weekly issue of "The
Shantung Times," which bears good witness to truth and
reform, he has spent not a little labor in the preparation and
revision 6i college text-books.
MEDICAL. — The attendance at the dispensary has been
less than last year, on account of the charge now made for medi-
cines, except in charity cases. Still the dispensary reports a
total of 7,786 visits, of which 5,761 were new cases. Of these,
1,250 were female and 6,536 male. Ninety-five patients were
seen in their homes and 1,140 in the countr}-, while the Hospital
patients numbered 62 — a considerable increase. The grand
total is 9,083. Surgical cases have been much more numerous
than formerly. Dr. Seymour was greatly assisted by Dr. Lewis
during his stay in Tungchow, particularly in the Hospital. The
receipts were about $180 (Mex.). In addition to his city work.
Dr. Seymour visited 29 villages in the course of the year. In
each place he treated the sick and injured, preached the Gospel,
and distributed tracts. The important medical work at this Sta-
tion is conducted with marked economv.

The West Shantung Mission has completed the second year
of its separate existence. It covers about three-fourths of the
Province of Shantung, including the populous valley of the lower
Yellow river and the no less populous course of the Middle
Grand Canal.
CHINANFU STATION.
Chinanfu, the capital of the province, is a city of 200,000
people, lying five miles south of the Yellow river. As a Station
it was opened in 1871 by the Rev. J .S. Mcllvaine.
The year has brought much encouragement. With one ex-
ception, there has been progress all along the line. The increase
in membership by confession of faith was 58. This is more by
25 than were received last year, and a gain of nearly 22 per cent,
in the total membership. The native contributions were
$136.92. The sale of books during the latter half of the year
greatly increased.
CHIN"A]Sr CHURCH.— The Chinese Christians have contin-
ued to pay half the salary of an evangelist. There were three
additions by confession during the year. The Sabbath-school
has increased 20 per cent. The regular services in city and sub-
77
78 WEST SHANTUNG — CHINANFU.
urb have been maintained, four of the Chinese brethren taking
turns in conducting the citj' service. There has been a gratify-
ing increase of the congregations since the new chapel was oc-
cupied. The prayer-meetings have been well attended. The
church contributions have been 153,000 c. c. ($88), nearly
twice as much as last year. Mr. Lin, a deacon, has opened a
girls' school in his house, with seven pupils. He himself is
teacher, and no Mission funds have been asked.
WOMAN'S WOEK. — One class for country women was held
for eight weeks, with 13 in attendance. The woman's prayer-
meeting has an average attendance of 18. This meeting is held
at the Women's Dispensary, where the out-patients as well as the
in-patients from the Hospital are made welcome.
BOYS' SCHOOL.— The number of scholars is 37. This is
larger than any previous year, though the course of study has
been advanced. A number of the scholars have applied for bap-
tism, of whom two have been recently received into full mem-
bership, and six will be received at the next communion.
The total amount of fees was $126 (Mex.), which is more than
twice what was received last year. There are five scholars, who
board themselves, and it is hoped this number will be increased
next year.
MEDICAL WOEK.— The number of Hospital patients has
continued to steadily increase, the Hospital being filled to its
fullest capacity during the Autumn and the Spring.
There has been a marked increase in the number of eye cases,
95 operations of this character alone having been performed.
The class of five medical students has continued its studies. Its
members are now ready to take positions as assistants in our
various hospitals — no one receiving a medical certificate until
he has spent from two to four years as an assistant after complet-
ing his didactic course. An evangelist has talked regularly to
the daily patients while waiting for treatment, and has spent a
good deal of time teaching the Hospital patients.
The statistics of the medical work for the year are as follows:
Mcllvaine Hospital: —
Dispensary cases 10,559
Inpatients 259
10,818
Woman's Dispensary 4,497
Patients seen in country and in their homes. 1,152
16,467
COUNTEff WOEK.— Fifty-five persons have been received
since the last report. There is a marked forward movement in
almost all parts of the field. Xew centres are opening, and the
WEST SHANTUNG — ICHOWFU. 79
Christians are showing increased zeal. One man baptized here
this year was a Taoist priest. He introduced himself to onr
evangelist about three years ago by ordering him to stop preach-
ing one day at a market, threatening him with physical violence
if he continued. He was drunk at the time; but he has given up
the drinking habit, and before he was baptized was instructing
three inquirers in his village. His wife, who is not yet a Chris-
tian, bears testimony to the radical change in his life. One
of the women baptized was led to Christ by her son, a pupil in
our boarding-school. She also brought two new inquirers with
her to the service at which she was baptized.
At another centre 10 inquirers were enrolled. They regularly
observe the Sabbath, and one of the men has broken the opium
habit.
An instance of clear faith was given, before baptism, by one
of the women. She is a widow and poor. She has some land,
but no animals to work it. The poorer people usually borrow
the animal of some more prosperous neighbor, providing food,
but giving no money. Thus, Mrs. Liu had year by year culti-
vated her land; but last Spring, when it came time to plow, her
neighbors refused to help her, saying that if she was a member
of the Jesus Society she might look to the foreign devils to plow
her land. She and the only other Christian woman of the vil-
lage prayed about the matter, and were afterward able to hire
a man from another village. Her daughter-in-law joined her
heathen neighbors in trying to persuade her to give up the new
religion, but to no purpose. Some years ago this woman's son,
who is now away from home, became much interested in the
Truth, but was dissuaded from professing by his mother. She is
now praying that he may return home and join with her in wor-
shiping the true God. Sixteen men and four women were bap-
tized as the first-fruits of the new work near Lin-i.
From the beginning of the present Chinese year, no money has
been paid for support of boys in country schools. This has made
it impossible for a few deserving boys to attend, but has not
closed any of the schools.
On account of dissensions between the native helper and
teacher and of insubordination on the part of the pupils, the
Girls' Boarding-school at Wan-tei has been closed till circum-
stances make it possible to re-establish it under the constant
supervision of a missionary.
ICHOWFU STATION,
Ichowfu is a prefectural city, 310 miles southeast of Chinanfu,
and 330 miles southwest of Chefoo. Evangelistic work
was begun in 1875 by Drs. Nevius and Corbett, but it was not
until 1890 that it was occupied as a Station.
80 WEST SHANTUNG — ICHOWFU.
During the past year the Station had the pleasure of welcom-
ing the Eev. and Mrs. W. S. Faris, but since its close all have
been shocked and inexpressibly grieved by the sudden death of
Dr. Anna Larsen from typhoid fever. The sad details have al-
ready been fully reported to the Church through the religious
press and the monthly magazines; but time does not lessen our
sense of sore bereavement over the loss to the work of that gifted,
devoted and consecrated woman and physician.
EVANGELISTIC. — Including the seven places where there
are organized churches, there are 12 outstations which are regu-
larly visited, and perhaps ten others where there is sufl&cient
interest to warrant the hope that outstations can be soon estab-
lished. In the absence of Mr. and Mrs Killie on furlough, Mr.
Murray of Chining-chow, was given valuable assistance in super-
vising this work. He reports "a wide and open field for the
preaching of the Gospel, and not a little sincere inquiry."
A striking case is that of a Mr. Yu, a native physician. He is
widely known and respected, and the fact that he has purchased
a number of books and boldly advocates the Gospel, is commend-
ing the truth to many who otherwise would not listen to it.
In the latter part of December, a class of 40 inquirers and
Christians from the outstations spent a month in study under
Mr. Chalfant and the native evangelists. Mr. Murray taught a
similar class of 20 in the summer. One member of the latter
class, a barrow-man named Yen, who has been anxious to enter
the church for over a year, has been baptized. His case
is interesting, not only because of his importunity, but because
he is the first convert from the region west of the city to receive
baptism.
In the city and suburbs there is considerable interest. Call-
ers are not so numerous as formerly, but those who do come are
less apt to be brought by mere curiosity. A young teacher has
applied for baptism.
WOMAX'S work. — The work among the women is very
encourging. The Wednesday afternoon prayer-meeting and the
Sabbath after-service meetings have been well attended through-
out the year, and special classes of women have been taught.
From these classes two women were admitted to the Church in
the course of the year.
EDUCATIONAL.— The educational work at Ichowfu is
still in an embryonic state. There is a primary day-school on
the Mission premises, and nine small day-schools at various out-
stations. The usual Mission grant toward the support of these
schools is about $23 (Mex.) per year. At one Station, where the
number of pupils seemed to be too large for one teacher to man-
age properly, the Christians themselves opened a primary school
WEST SHANTUNG — WEl-HIEN. 8 1
at an expense of about $20 (Mex.). There is a growing demand
for higher education. Until a boarding-school can be estab-
lished, a few picked boys will be sent to the Chinanfu School.
A few of the more intelligent young men are anxious to learn
English, and have been taught by j\Irs. Chalfant and Mrs.
Johnson.
MEDICAL. — In the IMedical Department the year has been
an unusualh' prosperous one. The aggregate number of cases
treated was no less than 20,000! Calls for the services of the
medical Missionaries continue to come from the city and sur-
rounding country, and that their efforts are appreciated is shown
by profuse thanks and conventional presents. Eecently two
memorial boards were presented by grateful patients residing 70
or 80 miles southeast of Ichowfu.
Daily preaching to the patients in the waiting-rooms has been
caried on, as usual, by missionaries or native Christians. Many
of these patients take back tracts and more or less distinct im-
pressions of Gospel truth to their Avidely scattered homes.
WEI-HIEN STATION.
The local Mission plant consists of a walled compound, one.
mile southeast of the cit}^, and inclosing seven and a half acres.^
within which are grouped five missionary houses, chapel. Boys'
Academy, Girls' High School, Primary Day-school for Boys,
Men's Hospital, Women's Hospital, book-room, separate rooms
for native men and women visitors, etc. But the principal work
of the Station lies far beyond the compound, and comprises coun-
try and church work scattered over an area of about 6,600 square
miles — considerably larger than Connecticut and Ehode Island
combined. Within this area the Mission has the spiritual and,
to a degree, the temporal oversight of 120 outstations, whose
total membership is 2,681, besides hundreds of inquirers and
adherents. Of these outstations 83 are divided into groups,
and thus constitute 1? church organizations. Four of these
churches have had their own native pastors during the year, and
while nominally self-supporting, fully one-fourth of the two pas-
tors' salaries has been paid by the missionaries. No part of
the expense has been met by the Mission. The remaining out-
stations are divided into convenient groups, and are under the
personal supervision of the missionaries as unorganized work.
There are 38 country primary day-schools for boys, and eight
country boarding-schools for girls; 18 native assistants, 7 Bible-
women and 5-1 school-teachers comprise the native working force
employed by the Station.
The city work is centered around the street chapel, which is
equipped with books and apparatus for the entertainment of
82 WEST SHANTUNG— WEIHIEN.
callers, and provides a daily prayer-meeting in charge of a native
evangelist. One new outstation has been opened and one
abandoned during the year, and two new chapels have been
erected by the natives.
Health absences somewhat seriously diminished the mission-
ary force for a part of the year; but, with the exception of one
family, all the workers are now at their posts, while the appoint-
ment of Miss C. E. Hawes has happily added to the missionary
circle.
EVANGELISTIC. — The aggregate number of days spent in
country work by the missionaries was smaller than usual, being
only 280. This was due to the absence of several members of
the Station on furlough, and the usual demand upon the time in
teaching the Theological Class, and in superintending local
institutions. Most of the classes for Bible-study have been con-
ducted at the outstations; eight of these being taught by the
theological students and four by missionaries.
An mieresting convention was held last winter, attended by
about 80 elders, deacons and country-school teachers, for the
purpose of discussing subjects vitally connected with the inter-
ests of the native church and its spiritual growth.
EDUCATIONAL.— In the native support of Christian
schools, Weihien has much to report of an encouraging nature.
The 39 day-schools for boys are now all paying one-third of their
teachers' salaries, besides providing schoolhouses and all their
incidental expenses. The number of these day-schools has been
largely reduced, not on account of this polic}'', but because they
had proved inefficient. The new charge system has already in-
creased the feeling of responsibility on the part of the patrons.
The eight country boarding-schools for girls are all flourish*-
ing. No uniform system of charges has yet been adopted for
these schools, but most of the pupils are paying something
toward their board. The Mission allows a fixed amount per
month — about 45 cents per pupil; and where the actual cost
overruns this, the girls must pay the difference. In at least one
school the girls have had to jDay $1.50 (Mex.) each to supplement
the allowance; and this was in addition to their travel, clothing
and incidentals.
The Boys' Academy has 48 students. This year they, too,
have been joaying an appreciable part of their boarding. This
is virtually a preparatory school for Tung-chow College.
The Girls' High School has started on its third year. From
the start this school has been upon the partial-pay basis.
Last year the 30 girls paid into the school treasury $100 (Mex.).
The new school-year has just opened with 37 pupils enrolled.
WEST SHANTUNG— CHINING-CHOW. 83
The girls have pledged themselves this 3'ear to pay an average
of 6,400 small cash ($3.80 Mex.) per pupih
The Theolos^ical Class has been located here since last May.
Mr. E. M. Ma^teer, Mr. W. P. Chalfant and Dr. C. W. Mateer
have constituted the faculty. The 10 students promise some
good material for the ministry, all being bright, consecrated
young men. Some of them are to be licensed at the next meet-
ing of the Presbytery. Most of them acted as helpers during
their vacation.
MEDICAL WOEK.— In the Men's Dispensar}^, 6,400 pa-
tients have been treated, and in the Hospital 150 surgical opera-
tions have been performed. In the absence of Dr. Mary Brown,
the Women's Hospital and Dispensary have been largely under
the care of two trained native assistants. Dr. Faries and Mrs.
Mateer, M.D., have acted as the foreign medical staff. Frequent
calls have been answered in the city and surrounding countrj^
One hundred such visits have been made by those in charge of
the Women's Hospital, and 1,764 patients treated at the Dispen-
sary. There were 100 surgical cases.
The un-Christian-like policy of the Romish Church has been an em-
barrassment to us. The priests have been systematically visiting our
chapels with a view to proselyting. To some of our Christians they have
ofl'cred bribes,— in one case as high as $300 (Mex.), — and have planted
schools in some of our outstations to allure the covetous away by prom-
ise of free board and tuition. One whole outstation went over to their
care. It had been in a weakly condition for years. The reasons for this
change, as given by the deserters themselves, were as follows: Indul-
gences for non-observance of Sabbath. Toleration of gambling and
opium. Exemption from Church contributions. Protection in the civil
courts.
With such worldly advantages offered them, no wonder these weak
brethren were ensnared ! We cannot believe that these methods are
indorsed by the Eomish hierarchy; but we have ample proof that such
things are being done in the name of that ecclesiastic body.
CHINING-CHOW STATION.
Chining-Chow is a city of about 300,000 inhabitants. The
first regular missionary work done was by the Eev. J. S. Mcll-
vaine, from Chinanfu. Fifteen years later, permanent occupa-
tion was made, in 1890-91, by the Eevs. S. A. Hunter and W.
Lane. Mob violence caused its failure. The litigation which
followed resulted in the official concession of the foreigners'
right to OAvn and occupy property which was purchased and
peaceably occupied in 1893. The Station has been ably reinforced
this year by the reappointment of the Eev. John Murray, who
had previously spent a score of years in missionary service in
Chinanfu.
THE CHUECH.— Two services have been held every Sab-
bath. The attendance has averaged 96. A weekly prayer-
84 WEST SHANTUNG — CHINING-CHOW.
meeting has been held, and preparatory to each quarterly com-
munion a week of special services. Daily morning and evening
prayers have been held in the chapel. Twenty-eight new mem-
bers have been received on confession of faith, and two by letter
The present membership is 67.
EVANGELISTIC. — Itinerating by missionaries and native
assistants has been carried on as usual, and with encouraging
results. Seven new members have been received, making the
entire membership which is not yet organized into churches 25.
Of inquirers' classes, there have been three — two for men and
one for women. About 70 individuals received from 20 to 30
days' instruction in the fundamental truths of the Christian re-
ligion. Besides these, two classes for native assistants have been
held.
EDUCATIONAL. — There are no boarding-schools at this
Station; but seven day-schools, containing 43 boys and nine
girls, have been in operation. Two of the boys united with the
Church.
WOMEN'S WOEK.— Mrs. Laughlin writes:
The rumors that the foreigners were stealing children stopped our
visitors entirely for two months this summer, and held us in a sort of
moral quarantine. We seem to be out of it now, and visitors are coming
again. The days of "crowds of women" are over, but there is more satis-
faction with those who do come. In spite of two months' isolation, our
visitors have increased about one thousand; the total number this year
being 4,000.
This is largely due to the museum. It is jet only in the chrysalis
stage: but it foreshadows good results; having already brought us a
charming circle of acquaintances, some among the better-class women,
whom we could not have reached in any other way. I have visited, dur-
ing the year, about 52 villages. There are now, apparently open,
two or three villages whei'e there is much interest, and which we
hope may turn out Divine openings. I expect to send two old women
together to spend some time at these places. W"e employ our women
by the month, and send them as places open. There have been 15 women
here at different times during the year studying. Four of them have
been baptised. I hear of five or six more who are willing to come, and
hope to have them this autumn.
MEDICAL. — Dr. Van Schoick has had to contend at times
with ill-health, and Dr. Jennie Hill has, of course, spent much
time in the study of the language; but other members of the
Station have helped with the evangelistic part of the work. A
daily morning service for the patients has been held, and then
the missionaries have individually talked and prayed with them
in the wards, while those who were able to walk were invited to
the homes of the missionaries.
Very few of the women are anxious to hear the W'ord, or are inter-
ested in study; but when we have gained their friendship the way is

opened up, and they will receive the itinerator more kindly. And thus
we work together in spreading the Gospel in China.
The statistics are as follows:
Eose Bachman Memorial Hospital :
Dispensary 14,688
In-patients 371
Total 15,059
Hvmter Memorial Hospital (Women's) :
Dispensary 2,295
In-patients 292
Total 2,587
The largest number of men treated in an afternoon was 198;
women, 59. The total nnmher of patients was less than last
year.
Several causes for this might be given, chief among them being the
rumors of child-stealing, so that many of the people were afraid to come
to us, even for medicine. Another cause was the failure of the crops in
some of the districts to the south of us, causing a decided falling of!" in
the number of patients coming from that region. On the other hand,
while there has been a falling off in the number of patients, they have
been coming from greater distances; a few coming from 900 li to the west
of us.
Many serious operations have been performed, which have
opened doors for the entrance of the Gospel into hearts and
homes and villages, and there are several patients who have
manifested a desire to learn the Way of Life, and to walk therein.
MISSION IN GUATEMALA.
Guatemala City: Sixty miles from the seaport of San Jose; occupied
1882; missionaries — Rev. E. M. Haymaker and Mrs. Haymaker and i-tcv.
W. F. Gates and Mrs. Gates. Outstations: San Augustin and Quezaltcn-
ango.
Guatemala has been passing through one of those periodic
revolutions so characteristic of the Central American repub-
lics, which, although finally suppressed, virtually led up
to the assassination of President Barrios. This upheaval seri-
ously crippled all departments of Mission work. Our Mission
thus far has had to do largely with the poor, and it is to this class
the government looks for its soldiers. These soldiers are pro-
cured not by voluntary enlistment, but largely by press-gangs,
from which multitudes flee to places of refuge. The report says:
This, in addition to the excitement, hopes, fears, rumors of outrages
that fill the air from morning till night, even far off from where the fight-
ing is, made our ■work almost useless for some months. After the revolu-
tion was put down, the government adopted measures of considerable
military severity — especially in those districts where public sympathy
was known to favor any of the revolutionary candidates, all of which
irritated the people, and left them in a frame of mind but little disposed
toward religion. I am glad to be able to state that now the severity is
relaxing, people are hunting work, and from a war standpoint things look
brighter.
Serious financial trouble has also added to the complication.
Being apprehensive of a crisis, the government passed a decree
that the banks should not be compelled to redeem their bills in
specie until Jan. 1, 1898, and later that the resumption of specie
payments should be gradual, certain denominations of bills be-
coming due each month, beginning with the smallest. '"The
result has been that the banks are holding all the small bills
they can get, and now it is almost impossible to make
small purchases, as there is no way of making change.
Brokers and others get already from four to six per
cent for changing hundred dollar bills." It is a matter
for devout thanksgiving that during the turmoil our
missionaries were mercifully preserved, although Mr. Gates-
was shut up in Quezaltenango with the revolutionists for a num-
ber of weeks, Mrs. Gates meanwhile being in Guatemala City,
unable to hear from her husband. By medical advice and with
Mission consent she finally came to the United States for a sea-
son of rest, being nervously worn, where she was joined a little
later by her husband on regular furlough. Mr. and Mrs. Hay-
maker passed safely through the severe strain, and are still at
their post.
87
88 GUATEMALA,
jSTotwithstandiiig these serious drawbacks, however, the work
of the Mission has not been without the seal of divine favor. Our
missionaries have been greatly aided by the presence of two
agents, respectively, of the American Bible Society and the Brit-
ish and Foreign Bible Society, whose efforts in the distribution
of the Scriptures have been painstaking and unremitting.
The Church in the capital has scarcely held its own, although
three persons of influence have been added to its roll. It reports
40 communicants. The Sabbath-school has shown more vitality,
partly owing to the novel methods of grouping the children in
battalions, and sending them under proper leadership from
house to house to gather up the members of the school and to
secure new recruits.
The Boys' School, with a roll of 26, reports an average year
in attendance and work. The government, being nearly bank-
rupt, has suspended the public schools until May 1, 1898, so that
the school has recently been filling up rapidly, and the efficient
Spanish teacher is preparing to give the students "a good, solid
course of Blakeslie's 'Life of Christ' and Bible-reading."
San Augustin. — This is a small town of some 5,000 inhabit-
ants, situated on a new railroad, 75 miles northeast of G-uatemala
City. As it was one of the active centres of revolution, the Mis-
sion work felt very Iceenly the upheaval. The Church, however,
continued its worship during most of the year, although its ef-
forts at self-support, as elsewhere in the republic, were necessarily
crippled by the uiDheaval. It numbers 29 members and 150 ad-
herents, and has been well trained by the native evangelist. Dur-
ing his frequent absences on evangelistic tours, the services are
steadily maintained by the brethren themselves. Six persons
united with the church on confession of faith during the year.
The field is an inviting one, and in normal conditions would be
encouraging for evangelistic work.
Quezaltenango. — This is a city of about 40,000 inhabitants,
125 miles northwest of the capital. As it was the great strong-
hold of the revolution, and was held for some time against the
government, Mission work was completely paralyzed for a time.
It was expected that a church w^ould be organized during the
year, but untoward events rendered this impracticable. Special
mention is made of the possible work among the Indians in
connection with this outstation. It is strongly advocated — first,
because the Indians are so numerous and can never be reached
througli the Spanish work; and, second, because they have more
character than the mixed race. They are more thoroughgoing
Catholics now, and will be more thoroughgoing Protestants when
converted. If the conversion of the republic to the Gospel is
our aim, it will much sooner be accomplished by the Indians
converting the Ladinos than by the Ladinos converting the In-
dians. Important preparation for beginning this work has been
GUATEMALA. 89
made in the translation of the Gospel of Mark into the Quiche,
or Indian dialect, by Mr. Castelle, the agent of the British and
Foreign Bible Society.
Notwithstanding the drawbacks of the past year, the outlook
is regarded as hopeful, and an earnest plea is made for the occu-
pation of other centres, such as Coban, Salama, Jalapa, etc. The
report says:
Working out from these different points, we would have a large part
of the republic covered. Since we have undertaken to save this republic,
we ought to have a resident preacher in each of the above-named centres,
if we count on having the ground even approximately covered. Our
experience here seems to demonstrate that what we should do is to work
outwards from, rather than spend too much time trying to multiply
within centres. But for the most successful working out, the missionary
needs to have a centre where he can return to recuperate and stock up
his traveling supply and start in another direction. A Caucasian cannot
for many years keep up long journeys through these countries, sleeping
on the ground often with fleas and pigs, living on lard and beans, and
sometimes sour bread for variety. The hardiest of us have to come face
to face with ruined digestion by and by.
MISSIONS IN INDIA.
The year covered by this report has been one of great disqui-
etude in India, where war, famine, earthquake and plague with
their attendant horrors have devastated the land. The uprising of
independent tribes on the northern frontier taxed the military
resources of the government, and drew heavily on an already
depleted treasury. The failure of the government to put down
the uprising promptly, notwithstanding the heroic efforts of a
well-equipped force, tended to diminish the prestige of the Brit-
ish arms, and to give aid and comfort to the disaffected elements.
The strain on the government was increased by the per-
sistent determination of the multitudes in the plague-stricken
districts to resist sanitary measures which were deemed essen-
tial to the stamjDing out of the pestilence; the resistance issuing
in the murder of British officers in several instances. When to
this irritation is added the suffering of starving millions, and the
tremendous pressure on government and benevolent enterprises
to relieve distress and preserve life, it is easy to see that the situ-
ation must have rendered Mission work more than usually diffi-
cult. Through a kind Providence, the lives of our missionaries
were mercifully preserved during the ravages of plague and fam-
ine. The detailed reports will show that they took a very active
part in famine-relief work as the almoners of the Christian
people of America, a large amount of money received from the
"Christian Herald^' and other sources having been forwarded by
our treasurer for this purpose. While these causes operated in
some measure against missionary effort, they also opened the way
for a wider dissemination of the Gospel; and it is believed that,
as in China many years ago, the spirit of Christian beneficence
which came to the relief of perishing millions has paved the
way for the cordial reception of the Gospel on the part of many.
Although retrenchment fell heavily on some parts of the Mis-
sion work, the self-sacrificing efforts of the missionaries pre-
served much that would otherwise have suffered, while an
enforced and severe economy led to the dropping of work and
workers which gave but slight promise of success. The estab-
lished forms of effort at the stations have been maintained, but
more than usual time has been spent in the districts preaching
to the multitudes in the villages. Here, so far as numbers are
concerned, the richest harvest has been reaped, although there
were not wanting among those baptized persons of high caste,
and also Mohammedans. These ingatherings have been largely
in the Punjab, although the same methods have been pursued
and the same fidelity manifested in the Northwest Provinces. It

is to be noted with special gratitude that Western India, hitherto
a hard and unproductive field, has shared in the blessing — 33
having been baptized at the outstation of Kodoli. A season of rich
spiritual refreshing was enjoyed in connection with the meeting
of the Synod of India, and the joint sessions of the two
northern Missions at Lodiana. A conference of missiona-
ries and native workers was especially profitable. Although
there remaineth much land to be possessed in the mighty em-
pire, there are encouraging evidences of awakening, and intima-
tions th^t the day of India's redemption draweth nigh.

MISSIOJsTAEY FORCE.— The force was depleted during the
year by the death of Mrs. C. B. Newton and Mrs. W. J. P. Mor-
rison, and the resignation of Miss Harriet A. Savage, Miss Mar-
garet C. Davis and Miss Clara C. Giddings. The death of Mrs.
N"e^\i:on occurred on June 20, 1897, after a service of 27 years in
the Mission. Mrs. iSTewton was a devout Christian and a devoted
missionary, co-operating efficiently in various branches of the
work, notwithstanding the multiplied cares of a large family.
Mrs. Morrison died on Jan. 1, 1898, after a brief illness.
She had been connected with the Mission since 1882, and
was a woman of fine Christian character and earnest missionary
purpose, with an exceptionally good knowledge of the language
and a genuine love for the people to whom she had given her
life. The resignations mentioned were partly on account of
health and partly because of providential circumstances. Dr.
J. C. R. Ewing and Dr. J. H. Orbison and family returned home
on furlough, while Prof. J. G. Gilbertson and Mrs. Gilbertson,
Eev. U. S. G-. Jones and family, and Miss Emily Marston, M.D.,
rejoined the Mission after furlough. The Eev. Frank 0. John-
son, son of the Eev. W. F. Johnson, D.D., of our Furrukhabad
Mission, and Mrs. Johnson, daughter of the Eev. Eeese Thack-
well, D.D., of Ambala, were added to the roll of the mission-
aries, while Mrs. John Newton was transferred from Furrukha-
bad Mission to Lodiana Mission on account of health.
AMBALA STATION.
Ambala is the first in population of the thirty-two districts of
the Province of the Punjab, although but nineteenth in its area.
The district has a population of 1,^200,000, 750,000 being Hin-
dus, 350,000 Mohammedans, 80,000 Sikhs, and the remainder
Christians, Jains and others.
CHUECHES. — The two churches at this station, located re-
spectively in the city and cantonments, some four miles apart,
are ministered to by native pastors, the salaries being paid in
part by the churches and supplemented by the Presbytery. One
Eajput (high-caste) man was baptized in the cantonments, who
first heard the Gospel in the bazaar.
94 LODIANA — AMBALA.
EVANGELISTIC. — A large amount of time and labor has
been bestowed on work in the district by the missionary and na-
tive laborers, with good results, present and prospective. Sixty-
nine baptisms are reported for the year at the various centres
from which the district work was prosecuted. One of the effi-
cient agents writes:
Our converts have not yet attained to that high standard of Christian
life and morality which the people of high culture might expect of them,
but their Christianity is a power in them, and gives tone and character
to their lives. They are daily making progress, though they have much
to learn of our holy religion.
It is the purpose of Dr. Thackwell, the missionary in charge,
to follow this work up with diligence, so that those who have
been baptized may be systematically instructed and others
brought under the power of the truth. Dr. Fisher, with native
helpers, has preached regularly in the adjacent villages, and
work has been inaugurated in the city by Christians who serve
without pay.
WOEK FOR WOMEN.— Mrs. Calderwood, Miss Pratt and
Mrs. Braddock, with a number of native helpers, have devoted
their time to various forms of zenana and village work. The
work among the low-castes is a most self-sacrificing work, as the
following from Mrs. Calderwood will show:
Visiting from house to house among the Chumars would have been a
rather hard task. The curing of hides or skins, which is done in a most
I^eculiar way in this country, fills the whole village with a most dis-
agreeable odor, and the filth around the village during the rainy season
is indescribable; but we always found among them quiet listeners, both
of men and women. One man in particular, whose little son I nursed
through an attack of bronchitis, always sees that I have a chair to sit
on, which he bought for me. Therefore, although we Have to sit between
pieces of hides, some half-cured, some raw or steaming ones, or ready
cured, the Bible truths are told with the hope that the Master in His
own time will bless them to the hearts of these willing hearers.
Mrs. Braddock reports under her supervision 83 zenana pupils
under instruction, a school for Mohammedan girls, three Sab-
bath-schools, a temperance society of 103 "juvenile and adults,
native and foreign. Christian and heathen." Miss Pratt reports
four Mohammedan schools for girls in her department. She
also devoted much time to famine relief, which was extended to
about 300 spinners. Frequently the low-caste women brought
their wheels and worked together in the same court, where the
missionary took advantage of their presence to break to them the
Bread of Life. A Sabbath-school among the Chumars was also
under Miss Pratt's direction.
SCHOOLS. — Two schools for boys have been in operation — a
high school in Ambala City, and an Anglo-vernacular middle
LODIANA — DEHRA. 95
school at the cantonments. The latter receives no pecuniary aid
from the Board, although it is identified with our Mission work,
and is und6r the general supervision of Dr. Thackwell. The
high school Dr. Fisher reports somewhat reduced in numbers,
and therefore in income, because of a school organized by the
Aryas, who are the most bitter and persistent opposers of Chris-
tainity. Good work, however, was done, meeting the commenda-
tion of the government inspector.
MEDICAL. — Dr. Fisher, in the small hospital in the city, has
had a daily average of dispensary patients of from 35 to 90, ac-
cording to the season of the year. Special pains are taken to
make the work the means of communicating spiritual truth to
the patients.
The work under Dr. Jessica R. Carleton, and Dr. Emily Mars-
ton in the dispensary for women, has been large,! 1,1 40 separate
treatments having been given — which, with inpatients and those
visited in the zenanas, makes the total 11,500. The hospital,
for which provision was generously made as a memento of the
Silver Jubilee of the Women's Foreign Missionary Society, with
headquarters in Philadelphia, is now being built. Much precious
time was lost in efforts to obtain another site within easier reach
of the great multitudes in the cantonments. The building is
now being erected on the site on which the dispensary stands,
comprising four acres of land. On the whole, it is believed that
the location will be more heathful than one in the crowded ba-
zar, and will be found sufficiently near the centre of population
to tax its capacity. Bible instruction has been regularly im-
parted both to the inpatients and those who have attended the
dispensary.
DEHRA STATION.
The Hindustani Church at this Station continues to have its
own pastor, who is partly supported by Mission funds. It reports
a membership of 95, with an average attendance at the public ser-
vices of 120, whose gifts for all purposes last year amounted to
Es. 753. An English-speaking congregation, including a num-
ber of natives, is ministered to for the most part by Mr. W. J. P.
Morrison. It has a membership of 45, of whom two were re-
ceived by confession last year. Some of its members render
important service in various directions to the Mission. There
are six Sabbath-schools connected with the station, with a mem-
bership of 326.
EDUCATIONAL.— The Christian Girls' Boarding-school has
had difficulties to contend with which were neither few nor
small. Famine prices for food, the reduction of the government
grant, and the retrenchment ordered by the Board, brought a
96 LODIANA — DEHRA.
severe pressure to bear upon those in charge of the school. The
roll numbered 100. The health of the pupils was good, and the
work done was quite up to the high grade of other years. The
Examining Committee make special mention of the thorough
work in Bible instruction. The needle-work exhibited and
other forms of handicraft shoAved that the industrial part of the
education is not being overlooked. Grateful mention is made of
the kindness of Dr. Emerson and Dr. Mulford in giving profes-
sional services to the school free of charge. An earnest plea is
again made for a building to segregate patients in cases of epi-
demic disease to which India is so liable.
The Boys' High School was in session under the general super-
vision of Mr. Morrison, with an attendance of 300; but no details
of the work have reached the Mission Rooms.
Five other schools are reported, with an attendance of 83 boys
and 20 girls. One day-school was closed because of the opposi-
tion of the Aryas, the girls having been transferred by their par-
ents to an Arya school.
WORK FOR WOMEN.— The Jane Cross Memorial Training
Home. — This training-school has just completed its eighth year.
That it has failed to realize fully the expectations of its found-
ers is not to be laid to the charge of the school or to the fidelity
of the missionaries. The work done has been well done, al-
though the volume is small. The output is necessarily limited
because the ability of the Mission to employ the young women
trained for zenana and village work is limited. It is deemed
essentia], by the Mission, that the young women trained in the
Home should work under the supervision of American mission-
ary ladies at the stations to which they are assigned. As the
number of such is small, it follows that the graduates of the
Home must be correspondingly limited. Arrangements have
been made, how^ever, by which those in the service of our own
Mission may be employed by other Missions on the basis of an
equitable financial return to the Board.
The Zenana Work connected with this Station has been crip-
pled by the necessity for dismissing some of the workers, but
effective service has been rendered by the members of the Train-
ing Home. The work among the women in the villages has been
prosecuted with some encouragement, but the lack of ability to
follow these up and to widen the scope of the work greatly limits
the possibilities of satisfactory results.
The Converts' Home, which is intended to be a temporary ref-
uge for Christian women whose confession of faith has driven
them from their homes, and others who give evidence of a sincere
desire to confess Christ, has been quietly doing its beneficent
work during the year.
LODIANA — FEROZEPORE. 97
FEROZEPORE STATION.
The work in the city of Ferozepore has been substantially that
of other years, including Church and Sabbath-school services,
work among the women and in hospital and dispensary. Five
persons were received on confession of faith, and the little
church now numbers 38 communicants. The Hospital for men
has been under the charge of Rev. F. J. Newton, M.D., and that
for women under charge of his daughter, Helen R. Newton, M.D.
They have also had three dispensaries in operation. The total
number of inpatients was 171, and of outpatients 16,231. In
addition to other forms of work. Dr. Newton, as a memlDcr of the
committee appointed to revise the Punjabi New Testament, de-
voted two months to that work; the committee revising from
I. Timothy to Jude inclusive.
DISTRICT WORK. — The report puts special emphasis upon
this form of work, giving in detail what has been accomplished
at the various outstations. Of these Quasure is one of the most
important.
It is a place of some 10,000 or 12,000 inhabitants. It is a
Mohammedan stronghold and a very ancient town, being in near
proximity to extensive ruins, indicating that it had been a much
larger city than at present. Twenty years ago the Gospel mes-
sengers were treated with great disrespect, one of them even be-
ing stoned. Within the past few years, however, the power of a
Zenana Mission, conducted by English ladies, has been felt, and
the native evangelist laboring in connection with our Mission
has been well received. Some young men belonging to Moham-
medan families of some prominence are deeply interested. The
most encouraging Avork in this district, however, is among the
Churas, or low-caste people, many among them being regarded
as hopefully converted. The Gospel is working a marked clringe
in their lives, turning them from many of their filthy habits;
such as that of eating carrion, and what is still more gratifying,
from such common sins as lying and stealing. Of other points,
Dr Newton writes:
At Muktsar and Fazilka, two towns of about 7,000 and 9,000 ;-.opula-
tion, respectively, work has been carried on during the past year as
usual. The former has been recognized for years as a substation of
Ferozepore, and a licentiate of me j^ahore Presbyterv has been stationed
here for seven years. He was originally a Hindu of the mendicant class —
a Sadhoo. He was baptized by Mr. Chatterjee, of Hoshyarpore, about 23
years ago. He is one of the most valuable men in our Mission. We call
him Bhagat, a title given to those who are counted saints, as saints go
among the Hindus. He is unusually well versed in the sacred learning
of the country, and having a wondrous memory he is able to repeat
pages upon pages of quotations from the Hindu books of religion and
philosophy. This is an incalculable help in both preaching and conlro-
versy. Nevertheless, he is not conceited, as such men usually are, but
being of a very childlike disposition, is exceedingly popular among the
98 LODIANA — HOSHYARPORE.
people of all classes. He is enthusiastically attached to his work, too, and
having some knowledge of medicine, he makes numerous friends by treat-
ing the sick gratis, who come to him from the town and surrounding
villages. In addition to the main building in which the Bhagat and
his family dwell, there are some rooms for the accommodation of visitors,
and one room for a dispensary. He makes frequent tours also among the
villages in the vicinity, preaching the Gospel wherever he goes, and heal-
ing the sick. There are a number of inquirers among the people, but
hitherto very few have had the courage of their convictions.
Up to his serious illness, Mr. Hyde had devoted a good deal
of time to the district work around Zira, some twenty miles east
of Ferozepore. He reports very few baptisms, and only a few
inquirers. It is proposed to undertake more frequent visits to
the district from this centre, and with this in view a cheap build-
ing has been purchased and put into shape for occupancy. The
Aryas, with characteristic zeal, sought to stir up bitter opposi-
tion, but the missionaries hold the property by a secure title.
Two young men were sent by them from Lahore.
They assembled some of the leading citizens, and presented the dan-
gers of the situation. They would live, they said, all of them to regret
the day, when, owing to the apathy of Mohammedans as well as
Hindus, the padres were allowed to obtain a foothold in their town.
Enumerating the evils that would come in upon their town like a flood
and subvert society, they warned them that these padres would begin
their work by instituting slaughter-houses for the killing of cows and
pigs! It was a time for Hindus and Mohammedans to make common
cause against the common enemy. A subscription was accordingly started,
and before long a sum sufficiently large to preempt the property was
raised. But now another question, viz.: When it was bought and paid
for, who among the subscribers was to claim the ownership? The thana-
dar, or inspector of police, a Mohammedan, and a true friend of ours, now
came to our rescue. Seeing the divided state of opinion, he called a meet-
ing and advised the subscribers to reclaim their money, reminding them
that the fears started by the Aryas were baseless: that the padres, as a
matter of fact, had not "been known hitherto, anywhere they had settled,
to have injured society, or even to have instituted slaughter-houses.
They had indeed instituted schools and hospitals, and shown themselves
the friends of the people; and it was likely, if they were not interfered
with, they would act similarly in the present case. The Aryas were pres-
ent at this meeting, and did their best to combat the aj-guments of the
thanadar; but he had, it seems, the best of it.
HOSHYARPORE STATION.
The report of this Station presents a comprehensive and sug-
gestive review of the work since its beginning, in 1867. During
most of these thirty years it has been in the hands of the Eev.
K. C. Chatterjee, who, through the Divine blessing, has both
laid the foundations and built the superstructure, being ably sec-
onded by his noble wife. The field covered by this Station is
about 94 miles long and from 30 to 32 miles wide. It comprises
10 towns and 2,087 villages, with a population of 1,011,659,
about two-thirds being Hindus and one-third Mohammedans.
LODIANA — HOSHYARPORE. 99
Hoshyarpore is noted as the home of Sikhism. Mr. Chatterjee
writes:
Guru Govind Singh, the founder of the Sikh religion, was born and
brought up here, and administered his first baptism of the sword to his
disciples in Anundpur ^lakhowal, a town in this district. His descend-
ants still live in this place, and a religious fair attended by upwards of
70,000 people is held here every year in honor of this event. In the his-
torv of our Mission this place is noted for being the scene of the martyr-
dom of the $iev. L. Janvier, the father of the Kev. C. A. R. Janvier, who
is laboring in Allahabad. He was killed by a fanatical Sikh while de-
livering the message of God's love to the people at one of their annual
fairs.
Having been a student of Dr. Duff and converted in college,
Mr. Chatterjee began his labors as "an enthusiastic admirer of
missionary education." After consultation and most prayerful
consideration, hovrever, he determined to devote the most of his
time "to simply preaching the Gospel, making an exception in
the matter of female education, because of the degraded and ig-
norant condition of the women." On the street, in the chapel,
in the villages, at religious fairs, in the inquiry class and through
the distribution of Bibles and tracts, this work has been done.
The results, so far as can be tabulated, are modestly summarized"
as follows:
We have succeeded in spreading a vast amount of knowledge of Chris-
tian truths throughout the length and breadth of this district. We
have succeeded also, through the help of the Divine Spirit, in awakening
many souls to be concerned for their spiritual interests. Great spiritual
and moral changes have taken place since our first arrival here. When
we first came and walked over the district, it looked to us like the val-
ley of Ezekiel's vision, full of dry bones. But now there is "a noise and a
shaking, and the bones are coming together, bone to his bone," and in
some instances, "the sinews and the flesh have come upon them, and
the skin has covered them above." Mere flesh and skin covered bones are
the reformed sects of Hindus and Mohammedans. Not one of them ex-
isted thirty years ago. But now wherever we go, we meet with Arya
Somaj, Dharin Sabha, Sikh Sabha and Aujmani Islamya. These have
sprung up everywhere in the district. They have the form of beauty and
life, but not the life itself. Many causes have contributed to this change.
One of them, and the greatest one, we humbly claim to be our continual
prophesying over the dry bones for the last thirty years — our preaching
of the quickening Word of God. The vivifying influence of the Holy
Spirit is needed to make them alive. For this we have fervently prayed,
and are still praying. Besides contributing our share to this general
awakening, it has been our privilege to collect into the fold of Christ
and baptize upwards of 800 souls. One-eighth of this number has been
from the upper classes of Hindus and Mohammedans, and the rest from
the low-caste Churas .and Chamars. Some have died, others have left
the station, and a few* have fallen away. We have still on our roll 703,
of whom 480 are communicants and 223 baptized men, women and chil-
dren who have not yet been admitted into communion.
To this must be added a noble band of Christian workers
raised up, ordained ministers, licentiates, catechists and village
lOO LODIANA — JULLUNDUR.
workers, who have rendered effective service at the outstations,
and have also reinforced other stations.
CHURCH. — The Church in Hoshyarpore is still the only or-
ganized church in this district, and enrolls all who are baptized
within its bounds. The additions last year on confession were
115.
SCHOOLS. — The Girls' Orphanage and Boarding-school re-
ports a roll of 46 pupils, of whom 16 are orphans, and 11 half-
orphans — the parents of the others being alive. The committee
of the Mission appointed to examine the school reports:
In Bible, the girls were especially prompt and clear in all answers to
questions. Everything about the establishment was beautifully clean
and orderly — the dormitories, with their 40 or more beds, as close as could
be placed; the schoolroom, where the girls' clothes were as clean as their
faces were bright and happy; the kitchen, where the girls were helping
to prepare the breakfast, and the compound were all equally tidy.
The two day-schools, one for Hindus and the other for Mo-
liammedans, had respectively an attendance of 30 and 28. The
three day-schools for village Christian boys were maintained,
although, because of the cut the teachers had to be dismissed,
and the Scripture-readers took charge of them in addition to
their usual work.
OUTSTATIONS.— There are sis of them at present, viz.:
Ohorawaha, Dosnah, Garhrhankar, Tandar, Hurianah, Garhdi-
wala. The first of these was occupied in 1874, when five fami-
lies of Rajput Mohammedans were converted. Two are under
the care of faithful native brethren, of whose work Mr. Chatter-
jee makes a good report.
An earnest plea is again made for an additional dormitory for
the Orphanage, for an industrial school for the Churah and Cha-
mar Christians (low-castes), and for an Anglo-vernacular school
for the non-Christian boys of the city and district. These addi-
tions to the equipment are greatly needed, and would be most
lielpful to the work.
JULLUNDUR STATION.
More than usual emphasis has been placed during the year
on the direct preaeliing of the Gospel in city and village, espe-
cially within a radius of six miles from the centre. That has
been possible largely because of the assistance- of Mr. J. C. New-
ton, son of Dr. C. B. Newton, who labors at his own charges.
The work has been mainly among the low-castes of Churahs and
Chamars. There has not been wanting opposition here and
there, especially in a village of Mohammedans; but opposition
is coming to be the exception, as in most villages the preacher
LODIANA— JULLUNDUR. lOI
of the Gospel is courteously received, and sometimes even cor-
dially welcomed. The visible fruits of the work in the entire
field for the year are the reception of 88 adults by baptism, in-
cluding two Mohammedans and one Brahmin. One of the Mo-
hammedans lives in a village 20 miles from Jullundur, and for
two years past had been visiting the missionary from time to
time, repeatedly asking to be baptized. One of these visits is
referred to as follows:
He said to the missionary: "You liave come from your country in or-
der to mal-ce the people of India Christians; you travel over the country,
baptizing the people: liow is it that when I come again and again, walk-
ing 20 miles from my village and ask you to baptize me, you refuse to
do it?" He was baptized on the 17th of May. The Brahmin baptized,
was a faquir lad 14 yeais of age, who A'isited us about a year ago, and
stayed some days. In August last he came again in company with an
old faquir named I'rem Das, to whom he has attached himself as his
disciple. Prem Das has been a Christian for several years. They stayed
several weeks, and the lad asked to be baptized. His examination was
unusually satisfactory, and lie was baptized on the 11th of September.
Dr. Newton has acted as stated supply of the Church, which
reports a membership of 51, of which two were added during the
year.
One of the Sabbath-schools was closed, the others continuing
in operation. Miss Downs and Miss Given, with their assist-
ants, have continued their evangelistic work in the zenanas and
villages. These assistants, in addition to their daily toil, have
taken charge alternately of a class of spinners and embroiderers,
which meets on the veranda of the Mission House. There are
12 in the class, and are all either widows or deserted wives, and
wretchedly poor. Each woman receives one rupee per month
when she does the amount of work required, the money being
furnished by the Famine Eelief Fund. The Christian helpers
embraced every opportunity in connection with the class for
instructing the women in the things of God.
SCHOOLS. — The Boys' High School is steadily recovering
from the effects of the competition of the Aryas referred to last
year. The total enrolment for the year was 437. The head-
master is a Christian, and, in the absence of Dr. Newton, con-
ducts the religious exercises with which the school is daily
opened. No appropriation is asked from the Board for this
school for the next fiscal year, the hope being that it may be
found to be self-supporting. Of the school under the care of
Miss Downs and Miss Given, the ladies write:
The number of pupils in the girls' schools in the city are the same as
last year, 199. There has been an increase in the number of zenanas
visited from 40 to 44, with 89 pupils, as against 83 last year. There has
not been a great deal of open opposition, but we always have more or
less of it. The Hindus thought to inconvenience us greatly when they
succeeded in turning us out of a building where we had three schools.
102 LODIANA — LAHORE.
We persuaded the man from whom we rent the little place where we
have our Sunday-school to make an improvement in the building, which
enabled us to move the three schools to that place. A bigoted Hindu
woman was very indignant when she heard some of our girls singing
Christian hymns in their homes, and tried by threats and persuasions
to induce the parents to withdraw their girls from our evil influence; but,
in spite of the fact that she is one of their holy women, she did not
succeed.
READING-ROOM.— The reading-room in the old chapel in
the city has been open five evenings during the week, under the
charge of a licentiate. Being quite close to the "hostel," or
boarding-house of the Government High School, it is frequented
b}^ the students of that institution. There they have access to
Christian books, tracts and papers, and also take part in the dis-
cussion of religious topics.
OUTSTATIONS.— The Rev. H. Goloknath and a licentiate
have been stationed at Phillour, with a view to conducting evan-
gelistic work from that as a centre, at such places as Bunga,
ISTawa, Shah and Rahon. Phillour is reported as an admirable
strategic point from which a wide range of villages may be
reached. The work is among the low-castes, of whom
several were baptized. Mr. Goloknath says:
Many people are ready for baptism, but I have intentionally withheld
the ordinance, for it is no use baptizing them unless they are looked
after. They are very ignorant, and need training. If a few are trained
at first, our hope is that the more spiritual among them may eventually
push on the work of their own accord among their fellow countrym.en.
Bazar preaching has also been kept up in Phillour. Advantage w'as
taken of the ferry train which crosses the river at this point to preach
the Gospel to the passengers en route. As indicative of the courtesy ex-
tended to the preachers, they were allowed for several months to preach
from a prominent shop in the public market-place, and a native gentleman
afforded them facilities for exhibiting the magic-lantern, illustrating
Bible truth.
FAMINE RELIEF. — Jullundur was the most important cen-
tre for famine relief in the Lodiana Mission. Some 200 men,
women and children have been employed, the expense being met
by special funds sent through the Board's treasury from the
"Christian Herald," and sources v/ithin our own Church. The
workers at first were mainly Christians, but afterwards others
were added, most of whom became Christians, by the blessing
of God on the instruction which they received during their
service.
LAHORE STATION.
The visit of the Rev. John H. Barrows, D.D., in connection
with his course of lectures in India, is mentioned with grateful
appreciation; his lectures and addresses in Lahore, as every-
where, giving no uncertain sound as to the unique position which
Christianitv holds among the religions of the world.
LODIANA — LAHORE. IO3
EDUCATIONAL. —The educational work at this Station
continues to bulk larger than any other form of Mission work,
because of the presence of the Forman Christian College. The
report says:
This institution has now been in existence for nearly 12 years, and
still supplies, we believe, a very great need in the capital of the Punjab.
Its influence upon the people of Lahore, and to some extent upon the
whole province, has already been great, and will increase from year to
year. The objects for which the college was originally establishea were —
(1) to bring the Gospel to bear on a class, the most influential class of
the community, not easily reached in any other way; and (2), as a direct
agency for the conversion of souls. These are the objects we have kept
in view during the past year. There are those who suppose that a Mis-
sion College exists only for the purpose of giving to the people the benefits
of a higher education in English ; but we repudiate any other system than
that which makes the conversion of sinners to God the chief end, and the
other educational machinery subordinate to this.
With this in view, special emphasis is placed upon instruction
in the Bible, so that a student taking the entire course comes to
have at least a fair knowledge of the Scriptures. The roll for
the year numbered 252, of whom 127 were Hindus, 77 Moham-
medans, 31 Christians, 15 Sikhs and two unclassified. The edu-
cational results, as tested by University examinations, were not
as satisfactory this year as usual. This, together with other un-
toward circumstances, greatly decreased the number of applica-
tions to the lower classes. Three Christian men were among
those who took the B.A. degree last year. Some of the Christian
students have done good work in conducting an evening service
in the Forman Memorial Chapel in the city, and quite a number
are also active in Y. M. C. A. work. Financially, the College
has been a success, tuition fees and the government grant not
only meeting all expenses save the missionaries' salaries, but
3delding a surplus of Es. 7,000, to be credited to the Board.
BOYS' SCHOOL.— The main School for Boys is the Eang
Mahal, which reports an attendance of 526 students, and in its
five branches 356, the total being an increase over last year of
106. The erection and occupancy of the new building for the
main school is the most important feature connected with the
work for the year, and cannot fail to add both to the healthful-
ness and efficiency of the school. In addition to the opening of
religious services, the Bible is regularly taught every day as a
part of the curriculum.
The Christian Girls' Boarding-school, under the care of an
English Society, but co-operating with our Mission and receiv-
ing a small subsidy from the Board, reports a successful year,
the 11 candidates for the University examinations passing cred-
itably. A college class has been opened as an experiment, as the
government declines to admit any young woman to the course
of medical trainins; until she has secured the decree of F.A.
104 LODIANA — LAHORE.
Four Mohammedan girls' schools have been in operation, with
an atlendance of 120, and four Hindu girls' schools, with an av-
erage attendance of 150; the former under the superintendence
of Mrs. G. S. Forman, and the latter of Mrs. A. Morrison. Good
work has been done in all these schools, according to the testi-
mony of the government inspectress.
WOEK FOR WOMEN. — Twelve zenanas were regularly vis-
ited by Mrs. Datta, having a total of 18 pupils. Among these
was the daughter of a Bengali gentleman, who seemed at one
time to be at the very threshold of the kingdom, but was kept
back by domestic difficulties. Of the work among the women,
Mrs. Forman Avrites:
I have six zenanas in which I have pupils learning to read, but the
work I enjoy most is among the poorer class of women, who sit in the
courtyard spinning or embroidering leather. I always get a warm wel-
come from them, and they listen so attentively to the Gospel stories and
hymns. I know you long to hear of some taking a decided stand for
Christ (and how I long for it, too!); but though I cannot tell you of
any, yet there is encouragement — even signs of awakening, I think.
Owing to the resignation of the pastor, the Hindustani Church
was supplied by Mr. Griswold and a native minister. The usual
services, including the Sabbath-school, with an attendance of
150, were maintained, and three persons united on confession of
faith. It is earnestly hoped that the Church will secure another
pastor in the near future. A most encouraging feature in this
church is the increasing willingness of the people to engage in
personal work for Christ, such as chapel-preaching and Sabbath-
school work for heathen children.
EVANGELISTIC— Preaching at the Delhi Gate Chapel,
which is a room in the Dispensary, was maintained. It is situ-
ated where the great thoroughfare encircling the city is crossed
by the Lunda Bazar. Many of the rougher elements of the
population congregate here. As several of the down-town
mosques are in the same vicinity, and the Mohammedan Col-
lege is near by, it has been found no easy matter to preach the
Gospel unmolested. Interruptions are quite frequent. These
were Lime patiently by the missionaries, until a professional
agent employed by the Mohammedans made a persistent effort
to disturb the services, when a quiet word to the police gave re-
lief. Preaching in the Forman Memorial Chapel at the Lohari
(blacksmith's) Gate, which has been continued for many years, is
regarded as one of the best evangelistic agencies in the city.
The better classes are reached here; such as clerks, students,
lawyers and men of influence and wealth. Simple Gospel serv-
ices are held almost every evening; but on the Sabbath, as that
day is now a great national holiday in India, English service is
held in the chapel for English-speaking natives, and is largely
LODIANA — LODIANA STATION. 10^
attended. Sabbath-fchools for non-Christians are held in the
Rang Mahal schoolhouse, and also in two of the branch schools,
with an attendance of 150.
MEDICAL. — This work was seriousl}' interrupted during the
year by the fatal illness, first, of Dr. Isa Das, who died in May,
1897, and subsequently of his noble and competent wife, who
died the following November. Both are spoken of as most earn-
est Christians and efficient colaborers in the discharge of their
professional duties. A dispenser had been rendering temporary
service until Dr. Emily Marston was transferred from Ambala
City.
DISTRICT WORK.— By an arrangement of the Lahore Pres-
bytery with the Mission and the Board, this work has now be-
come the Home Mission work of the Presbytery, the Board giv-
ing towards the Home Mission Fund three rupees for one contrib-
uted by the churches. A force of 12 men, licentiates and cate-
chists under the general superintendence of the Rev. Dharm Das,
has opened work in eight villages, where there were small com-
panies of Christians and inquirers residing. Seventy-four other
villages were regularly visited by the workers, and 69 persons
Avere baptized and 125 inquirers enrolled. The converts are all
from the low-caste people. Village schools were also estab-
lished, and care was taken to shepherd Christians who had been
baptized from time to time by missionaries on itinerating tours,
or in some of the centres of Christian work. The little Chris-
tian communities are being trained from the beginning in self-
support, notwithstanding their great poverty, aggravated by fam-
ine conditions last year. By collecting handfuls of flour or
grain, eggs, firewood, sugar-cane and such things, and in some
cases money, they succeeded in raising Rs. 23, which was applied
to congregational expenses.
LODIANA STATION.
CHURCH. — The Church at this station, which is self-sup-
porting, gives evidence of life in the form of Christian activity.
In addition to the usual lines of church work, it has founded
the Victoria Home; being a house for widows, recent converts,
the infirm and helpless, and those who may be temporarily out
of employment. This was the method adopted by the church for
celebrating the Queen's Diamond Jubilee. The Board granted
a lot to the Presbytery of Lodiana to be held for the purpose, on
which the church erected a suitable building, and became re-
sponsible for the support of the institution.
The Church Sabbath -school, which includes the boys attend-
ing the Boarding-school, numbered 244, and the non-Christian
I06 LODIANA — LODIANA STATION.
Sabbath-school, in which the teaching is done by the teachers
in the boarding-school, numbered 110.
SCHOOLS. — The Christian Boys' Boarding-school reports an
attendance of 78 boarders and 14 day-scholars. Tested by the
government standard, the examination of work done in the
school was most creditable. The religious atmosphere is good.
"Character-building" is the grand aim of those in charge, and
the results are encouraging. The industrial department is still
in operation, training boys as tailors, shoemakers and carpen-
ters— so many hours a day being spent at these several trades in
connection with class-work in the school.
The City High School reports an average enrolment of 33-4,
with 75 in attendance in three branch schools. This school is
compelled to compete wdth three other high schools in the city,
the outcome of the revival and reform going on among Hindus
and Mohammedans. This school, with its branches, is supported
largely by government aid and tuition fees, the Board giving but
Es. 1,450 ($483.00), while of this amount Es. 840 are paid to a
Bible teacher, whose sole business is to teach the Bible in the
school. As a large number of the boys are from the villages,
the school is regarded as an excellent evangelizing agency; the
boys carrying with them to their homes the truth which they
learn. Several day-schools for girls were also in operation during
the year, with a fair attendance.
EVAjSTGELISTIC. — Bazar-preaching in a large and comfort-
able building erected for the purpose, and where controversy is
prohibited, has been continued with encouragem.ent. An im-
portant evangelistic agency is the "Mu Af Shan," a religious
nev/spaper published by the Mission. Four of our educated
native brethren contribute regularly to its columns, while the
editor keeps his eye on the "changing tactics of Hindu and Mo-
hammedan controversialists," with a view to meeting them as
far as may be deemed prudent.
Work among women has been prosecuted diligently by the
ladies of the Station, not only in zenanas in Lodiana, but also in
the surrounding villages and in more distant parts of the dis-
trict. Miss Morris writes of difficulties encountered in itinerat-
ing, the Aryas circulating reports about medicines made from
children's brains, heavy government fines to be levied on those
who send their children to school, etc. On one tour, some
twenty villages were visited, in some of which the missionaries
were welcome; but from others they were driven by a crowd of
men and boys, who mockingly besought the ladies to preach to
them. There were those found, however, who gave respectful
attention to the truth. After referring to treatment at the hands
of a bigoted Mohammedan, the report adds: "We were smiled

out, and sneered out, and frozen out, and cursed out; but still we
want to go again." A number of women have been under in-
struction for baptism, one of whom was baptized.
OUTSTATIONS.— Khanna.— This Station is situated 20
miles southeast of Lodiana, and is under the care of the Rev.
E. P. Newton and Mrs. Newton. It is a work largely among the
Churas, of whom seven adults were baptized during the year.
Mr. Newton writes:
During the cold season Mis. Newton and I made a tour in the Sam-
rata tahsil and in the territories of tlie Raja of Nabha, the Raja of
i-atiala and the Isawab of Maler Kolla. Our special aim in this tour
was to visit the Satsangis (those of the true fellowship). By this term
are to be understood the adherents of the sect which was founded, some
25 years ago, in Rampore by Bhai Hakim Singh. Ihese persons profess
to accept the main teachings of the Gospel, but are not prepared to re-
ceive baptism; professing, as they do, to have had the baptism of the
Spirit, which they claim is sufficient. Their homes are widely scattered
in villages lying within our district, and also far beyond its limits. We
met almost invariably with a warm reception and a sympathetic hearing.
Frequent trips were also made among the villages within a
radius of 10 or 15 miles from Khanna.
The Training-school for Village Preachers, established in
1894, is open during five months of the year, the object being to
give a course of Bible instruction to men who are engaged in
evangelistic or pastoral work during the other months of the
year. Eleven students were in attendance.
JagTaon. — Next to Lodiana, this is the largest town in the dis-
trict. It is situated in the finest grain-producing part of the Pun-
jab, and the entire suroiinding country is dotted with large and
prosperous villages. Of the 25,000 inhabitants, the majority are
Hindus, although the Mohammedans are also strong. The work
in the villages is reported to be encouraging, but the cut made it
impossible to employ as many native evangelists as formerly.
Preaching, however, was maintained at the city gate, and villages
far and near were visited by the native agents, and also by Miss
Wherry and Dr. ]\Iaud Allen. During the cold season the mis-
sionary ladies went from village to village, Dr. Allen's medical
skill and tender ministries doing much towards opening the way
for a patient hearing of the truth. Having failed until about
the close of the year in securing a house in which to open a dis-
pensary in Jagraon, Dr. Allen went from house to house with her
little hand-case, and so opened the way for the Gospel message.
Three schools were opened during the year, one of which, how-
ever, was soon broken up. Two ladies employed on the field have
devoted their time to zenana and school work, with a varying
number of pupils. There were four adult baptisms at this Sta-
tion during the year.
Eupar, some 40 miles east of Lodiana, has been a centre of
I08 LODIANA — SABATHU.
Mission work for many years; tlie efforts in behalf of the sweep-
ers and other outeaste classes being more extensively carried on
here and in the Morinda District than elsewhere in the Mission.
A large number have from time to time been baptized by the
evangelist, Eev. P. C. Uppal, and others, and now the Mission is
face to face with the serious problem of how to train those who
have become Christians, and how to instruct their children.
Some 70 villages have been visited regularly during the year.
Part of the time a class of six native workers was instructed by
Mr. Uppal, so as the better to fit them for their work in the
villages. Five candidates for baptism are reported from among
the higher castes. Forty-three adults were baptized during the
year.
Morinda. — In this district there were 11 adults baptized, all
of the sweeper class, and many inquirers are reported. There
are no less than four important centres of work within 12 or 14
miles of Morinda, where the Gospel ought to be more frequently
preached. The entire number of baptized adults in connection
with this Station, is 220.
SABATHU STATION.
The Leper Asylum continues to occupy a large share of the
time and strength of the missionary in charge of this Station.
The number of inmates reported is the largest in the history of
the institution. It is gratifying to notice that 40 of them are
professing Christians, of whom several were baptized during the
year. The maintenance of the Asylum, aside from the provision
made for medical attendance and religious instruction, is secured
from sources outside of the Board of Foreign Missions, such as
the Society for Lepers in India, with headquarters in Scotland,
and gifts from private parties, native and foreign. Aside from
the Asylum, the usual forms of Mission work are carried on, pub-
lic services being held on the Sabbath at two places in Sabathu,
and at a village outside. Twenty-eight persons were received
on confession of faith. Daily religious services were maintained
in the Leper Asylum. Work has been opened at Sain on the
road to Simla, near which are many large villages. Preaching
services and a school were also carried on at Solon. Two helpers
with a magic-lantern made a tour of several weeks into some of
the small native States in the Hill region. They reported hav-
ing met with a cordial reception from both high and low. Dr.
Carleton refers to a most desirable opening as follows:
There are two main roads from the interior which meet at Kalka at
the foot of the hills; one of these roads passes through Sabathu, and the
other about 10 miles distant. Along these two main roads thousands of
pilgrims from distant regions, as Thibet and the surrounding Hill districts,
come on their way to visit the holy places of India; and it is my desire
that at two places on these roads a preacher and a helper be stationed,
LODIANA — SAHAKANPUR IO9
and if possible a small dispensary be located, in order that these pilgrims
and travelers may be reached by the preacher with books and tracts.
Hospital and Dispensary work has been carried on at three
centres, with attendances of about 15,000.
Work among the Avomen in zenanas has been conducted by two
Christian women at Sabathu, and another at Solon. A few girls
also meet in the houses of the teaeliers for instruction.
SAHARANPUR STATION.
The closing of the Boys' School on account of the cut, after a
continuous existence of 60 years, is the first thing which chal-
lenges attention at this station. It is regarded by the missiona-
ries as a serious step backward, as they believe that their influence
in the city has thereby been in a measure sacrificed to the detri-
ment of Mission work in general. It is not without significance
that the closing of the school was the signal for the opening of
two others — one an Anglo-Vedic, by the Arya Somajh (a society
noted for its hostility to Christianity), and the Sanatan Dharm
School, or "School of Eternal Eeligion." In all other depart-
ments the work of the station has been prospered, notwithstand-
ing enforced retrenchment.
CHUECH. — This church for the past six years has had its
own pastor, and has increased its proportion of his salary from
Ks. 14 to Es. 20 per month, besides contributing for evangelistic
and other forms of Mission work. The church numbers 117,
10 members of which were received last year. The Sabbath-
school reports an attendance of 116, and there are three Sabbath-
schools for heathen children, with an attendance of 384.
EDUCATIONAL.— Theological Seminary.— This institution
is known as the Theological Seminary of the Synod of India,
and is under the control of a Board of Directors representing
the Lodiana and Furrukhabad Missions. Four men were gradu-
ated last year, one of whom in the high grade known as the
Entrance grade. One of these has been called to the pastorate
of the church at Sabathu. The examinations at the close of the
sessions, oral and written, occupied 16 hours, and the Committee
of the Board of Directors reported them as "very thorough and
satisfactory." During the year the "Livingstone Taylor Memo-
rial Hall," referred to in the last report, was completed and
occupied, proving a great addition to the facilities of the institu-
tion.
The Boys' Orphanage and Boarding-school had an attendance
of 92. The report says:
The year has been one of steady progress in industrial work and
studies. The boys have cheerfully seconded our effort.o to reduce expenses
no LODIANA — SAHARANPUR.
by doing more and more of the domestic work of the institution. In ad-
dition to what they have always done in this direction in the past, they
now sweep and whitewash their quarters and do the whole of their own
washing and cooking. A very considerable portion of the teaching has
been done by the more advanced boys, and with excellent results. Two
new industries are about to be added to those that have always been
taught here. We are glad to say that three of our famine boys have been
baptized since coming here. Others wished to be, but were advised to
wait by the church session. Five of our old boys have also united with
the Church during the year.
Girls' Schools. — There are seven of these; five being for Mo-
hammedans, one for Hindus and one for low-caste children,
having a total enrolment of 210. Some of the Mohammedan
parents objected to their daughters studying the Bible, and
finally withdrew them from the school, the study of the Script-
ures being an essential part of the instruction given. One bright
Mohammedan girl died, giving evidence before her departure
of faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, remarking on her deathbed,
"I have no one to trust but Him."
Six native laborers have been working at the four outstations,
at each of which there is the nucleus of a church, although no
organization as yet. These agents reported between 30 and 40
villages visited in their neighborhood, with more or less fre-
quency. They have not found a royal welcome among their
countrymen, being very much ostracized because of their con-
fession of faith; but, though sometimes cast down, they are not
discouraged.
The Male and Female Leper Asylums, the former with 25 in-
mates and the latter with 11, are looked after by our missiona-
ries, although the cost of maintainence is met by the "Mission
for Lepers in the East," with headquarters in Scotland. All the
women in the Asylum were baptized during the year. The Mis-
sion for Lepers is making provision to add to the number of
houses for the women.
MEDICAL. — Since the closing of the High School, the build-
ing has been occupied for medical work. It affords excellent
facilities for a hospital, were it deemed beet to use them; but
thus far only dispensary work has been undertaken, with from 40
to 50 patients each day, save in the more unhealthy season,
when they averaged from 70 to 90. The dispensary work is pre-
ceded by three-quarters of an hour of Scripture-reading and in-
struction, and is followed by the distribution of tracts to all who
can read. In this way much good seed is sown from day to day.
WOODSTOCK HIGH SCHOOL FOE GIELS.— The changes
in the principalship and the teaching staff in this school, because
of the furlough and subsequent resignation of Miss Giddings;
the resignation on account of ill health of Miss Davis; the mar-
riage of Miss Hutchison and the withdrawal of some non-mis-
LODIANA--SAHARANPUR. Ill
sionary teachers, made the school-year one of great difficulty.
By appointment of the Mission, the Eev. and Mrs. J. M. Mc-
Comb became joint principals, and entered upon their respon-
sible position early in January, 1897, barely in time to get
matters into shape for the new school-year. A glance at the
catalogue shows the large variety of gifts required in the teaching
force because of the Government standards, and the increasing
demands for accomplishments by the patrons of the school. In
meeting these requirements, however, it is not forgotten that
the school is first and foremost a Mission institution, and that
religious instruction must hold a prominent place. The report
says:
The main object of a Mission school is to ground the pupils in the
principles of the Word of God. This object has ever been before us.
Prayers have been conducted regularly, morning and evening; on four
days all the classes have a period of Bible instruction; on Sabbath, the
pupils, except in stormy weather, attend the Sabbath-school and the
preaching service held in the Union Church.
Other exercises, having the religious interest of the pupils in view, are
conducted in the school.
One hundred and eight pupils were in attendance in all depart-
ments during the year. These departments, running from the
F.A. grade down to that for small children, number no less
than 11.

ander.
MISSIOi^ARY FORCE.— The changes in the force of this
Mission liave been few. The transfer of Mrs. jSTeVton to Lodi-
ana, because of liealth, has ah-ead}^ been referred to. The Rev.
J. J. Lucas arrived in the United States on furlough, — his family
having preceded him, — and the Rev. J. M. Alexander returned
to the Mission, leaving Mrs. Alexander in the United States for
the present.
ALLAHABAD STATION.
CHURCHES. — The two churches at this station, located re-
spectively at Katra and the Jumna, some three miles apart,
report a year of average prosperity. They have a total mem-
bership of 145, of whom six were admitted on confession during
the year. Growth in the grace of giving is noted as evidence of
a developing spiritual life. It is to be regretted that both these
churches are still dependent on missionaries largely for preach-
112
FURRUKHABAD — ALLAHABAD II3
ing. Each ought to have its own pastor without delay, supported
by the people themselves in whole or in part. The Christian
Endeavor Society of the church organized and sustained three
heathen Sabhath-schools, one in the Ivatra school building and
the others out from the centre.
SCHOOLS.— The Boys' High School at the Jumna had an
attendance of 117, and the Middle School for Boys at Katra of
65. In the former decided progress has been made in strength-
ening the positive Christian influence by increasing the number
of Christian teachers, who have taken the place of non-Chris-
tians. In the examination in the Scriptures for prizes, granted
by the "Missionary Educational Union," three were taken by
boys of the Jumna School — one of them, a Mohammedan stu-
dent, the highest of all competitors in his department. The
Katra School suffered to some extent by the resignation of the
head-master, owing to threatened blindness.
The J. F. Seiler School for high-caste girls, under the super-
intendence of Miss Johnson, had an attendance of 24. Some of
the brightest expect to be married shortly, and it is to be hoped
that they may carry with them some of the precious truth which
has been instilled into them during their school days.
The Christian Girls' Boarding-school at the Jumna, under the
care of Mrs. John Newton and Miss Morrow, reports a roll of 79
pupils. The year has been uneventful, although one of satisfac-
tory work both to teachers and pupils. Unhappily the health of
Mrs. Newton has rendered her transfer to a more northern cli-
mate imperative; and, in view of the approaching furlough of Miss
Morrison the school has been placed under the charge of Mrs.
H. M. Andrews, whose long experience in India gives her great
advantage in undertaking so heavy a responsibility.
EVANGELISTIC— Regular preaching in the city chapel,
located in the busiest part of the city, has been maintained,
though somewhat irregularly, and a number of people of influ-
ence have attended frequently, some giving thoughtful attention
to the truth. A month was spent by the Katra missionaries in
itinerating among the villages, where they met with a friendly
reception for the most part.
WORK FOR WOMEN.— Miss Johnson has continued her
work among the zenanas, and took a prominent part in the
itineration among the villages referred to above, meeting the
women in their homes or under the shade of a tree. The recep-
tion was sometimes very cordial, at other times decidedly rude.
MEDICAL. — Dr. Caldwell, in charge of the Sara Seward Hos-
pital and Dispensary, reports as follows: .;
The medical work lias been full of rare and interesting experiences,
and presented much subject-matter for study. Owing to the plague scare.
114 FURRUKHABAD — ALLAHABAD.
our numbers in general attendance have not been up to those of last year,
as the women were afraid to come lest they might be carried off to the^ seg-
regation camp. The number of indoor patients has been nearly five times that
of last year, owing to the famine, which brought us many ditl'erent forms
of disease, and owing also to the hospital being now more widely known.
During the early part of the summer, I was nmch depressed by the num-
ber of deaths which occurred among the famine waifs, due' mostly to
scurvy, and to an almost fatal form of choleric diarrhoea. Sore mouths
which baflBed description and also medical skill, came to us in dozens
from the Methodist orphanges; the disease being due to the terrible
habit among the starved ones of eating animal and human excrement.
We have noticed these children's rapid recovery with joy, only to be
amazed at a sudden relapse and death, and not till we discovered that
they were pounding old bricks into powder and eating it, or old bones into
powder, and devouring it ravenously, were we able to check the relapses.
Light foods, as sago, cornflour or soups made no impression on them,
their stomachs craving the heavy, coarse foods. We have had many
very interesting and some extremely rare operations this year, both
major and minor, which would perhajjs interest those onJy in medical
work, and which could hardly find a fit place for description in a mission
rejjort. The Hospital has been closed only one day this year, and that
was Christmas (Sundays, of course, excepted) for Dispensary patients.
Our patients have come from Jhansi, Fatehgarh, Ghazapur, Buxar, Mirza-
pur, and other places, somewhat distant. As far as I have been able to
find out, the Dispensary patients liave come from 32 villages outside
Allahabad and its outlying towns. IMany have walked eight or ten kos
twice a week for treatment. The statistics are as follows: general at-
tendance, 12,079; new patients, 3,3G0; indoor patients, 256; visits to
houses, 568; operations, 115 (major, 23; minor, 92).
Unusual encouragemeut is reported on the spiritual side.
From among tliosc who have come this year for physical relief,
there are a few who have either found at the Hospital the remedy
for sin-sickness, or who have been strengthened in their deter-
mination to stand up for Jesus. On the Sabbath after ISTew
Year, the Hindu girl of whom I spoke in last year's report was
baj)tized and received into the Katra church.
Several instances are given of women who have either ac-
cepted the truth, or seemed to be standing on the threshold of
the kingdom, but kept back by bitter persecution in their own
homes, several being cruelly beaten by husband or mother-in-
law. One poor woman was so beaten that she fled to the Hos-
pital for refuge, her back being lacerated and swollen, all because
she wished to confess Christ. The Hospital seems to be fulfill-
ing its mission by ministering both to the bodies and souls of the
perishing.
LITEEAEY. — Dr. Kellogg has devoted the entire year to his
work of the revision of the Old Testament in Hindi; being un-
able, because of pressure in this direction, to deliver courses of
lectures as in former years. The serious illness of one colleague,
requiring his withdrawal from the Committee, and providential
circumstances requiring the other to return to England within
the next two years, have led the Committee to redouble its dili-
FURRUKHABAD — ETAWAH. II5
gence so as to complete the revision within that time. Dr. Kel-
logg writes:
Since tlie last report rendered I have personally translated the fol-
lowing books, viz.: Judges, Ruth, 1 Kings, Ezra, Nehemiah, Esther and
Job. According to my custom, each of these has been gone over tliree
times; and I am glad to say that, by dint of working some extra time in
Committee, all excepting 1 Kings have also been revised in Committee,
and have been printed, with the exception of Job, which is at present
passing through the press. Besides these, I have also revised Dr. Hooper's
translations of Ecclesiastes, the Song of Songs and Daniel, all of which
have also been put through the Committee and printed since my last
report.
Dr. Johnson, in addition to the pastoral care of the Katra
chnrch, has completed and published his commentary on Jere-
miah in Hindi — an octavo volume of 604 pages. Other books
have been translated, and have been printed by the North India
Tract Society; such as "Breaking His Fetters," a story of the
spread of Christian truth in several Bengali families; "Land-
marks of Ancient History," a Hindi translation of the late Mr.
Ullman's para])les, which were originally a series of magazine
articles; "The Story of a Diamond," being a tale of life in Egypt
and j\Iission work in that land; and a "Sanitary Primer" for
village use, called "The "Way to Health," translated at the request
of the English Ladies' Society. Some books have also been pub-
lished in the Eoman Hindi character, among them "Some Words
of Jesus." Nine tracts and booklets, varying from 25 to 127
pages, on such subjects as "Transmigration," "The Nature of
Sinning," "The True Shaster," and "Stories of Many Eaces"
have been translated and published.
Mr. Janvier has devoted a good deal of time to compiling a
supplement to the Synod's Hindustani Hymn-book.
ETAWAH STATION.
Mr. Woodside, the missionary in charge of this Station till it
was made over to Mr. McGaw, devoted a good deal of time to
famine relief, aiding the government in its plan for providing
for the starving, and using to the best of his abilities such oppor-
tunities for religious instruction as offered in connection with
the work. The Church here is small, numbering but 38 com-
municants, of whom none were received during the year. Two
small schools, numbering 20 pupils, have been in operation.
Preaching to the unevangelized in the city and in the dis-
trict has been prosecuted with vigor. The annual "opium
weighments," which brings a large number of people to the city,
was taken advantage of by holding evangelistic services morning
and evening for aTjout a month. A number seemed impressed
by the truth, but no immediate fruit was gathered. Work was
also conducted in the city among the Chumars (leather-workers),
1 16 FURRUKHABAD — FATEHGARH-FURRUKHABAD.
the Korhis (weavers) and Mehtars (sweei^ers). In this work the
Christian school-teachers were utilized, and, in order better to
qualif}^ them, a Bible-class was maintained during the Summer.
This training had not only in view the immediate benefit of those
instructed, but also the plan of sending these workers into the
district to live as well as labor. Several native evangelists are
laboring in the district, one having visited 34 villages, another
with Mr. McGaw having visited a large number of villages within
a radius of nine miles of Etawah. Grateful mention is made of
the progress of the Etawah church in self-support, brought
about in a measure by the severe retrenchment. An effort was
made to call a pastor, but the people failed to agree. They made
a small offering for the work of Home Missions -in their own
Presbytery during the year.
The Etawah district has a population of 700,000, and our small
Mission force is the only evangelizing agency for these multi-
tudes. What a summons to a forward movement!
WORK FOE WOMEN".— Miss Belz, with that fidelity which
has marked her efforts for many years of uninterrupted service,
has continued her self-denying labors among the women and chil-
dren. Both high and low have heard the message from her lips
during the hot season in Etawah, and during the cooler season
in the villages. In the zenana schools under her care were 109
pupils, to whom the Gospel has been regularly taught. Miss
Belz speaks of her work as largely that of seed-sowing, but she
has not been without the joy of at least the first-fruits of harvest,
as the following instance will show:
A Brahman woman in Hawaii ka Nagra, in whose house I had taught
some years ago, said to me, as soon as she sav/ me again: "The Word
of Jesus Christ has entered into my heart ; I trust in Him for salvation."
She seemed to be very happy in the Lord Jesus; she could not find words
enough to express her love to Him. Several other women of her family
were present, and it seemed as if also the true Light was shining in their
hearts.
FATEHGARH-FURRUKHABAD STATION.
These names represent respectively the civil station and the
native city, some four miles apart. Each is a centre of important
Mission work, both evangelistic and educational. Each has its
own church, both of which have within the past year called
pastors, promising to pay 12 and 13 rupees per month respect-
ively towards the salaries, besides meeting all incidental ex-
penses. This forward step was greatly helped by a series of
special services held in both churches, where professing Chris-
tians were spiritually refreshed, and great stress was laid upon
the duty of self-support.
FURRUKHABAD — FATEHGARH-FURRUKHABAD. I 17
EYAjSTGELISTIC. — All the missionaries at the station have
devoted a large amount of time to this form of work, Mr. John
N. Forman especially having spent nearly three months in the
district, which comprises no less than 4,000 villages. Some ten
days were spent at the Makanpnr mela in the Cawnpore district.
The four outstations were also visited. These are found to be
encouraging centres of district work, in one of them a daily mar-
ket being held, and in the otliers a small weekly market, afford-
ing the opportunity of preaching to large numbers from the sur-
rounding villages.
Not much bazar-preaching was undertaken; the efforts of
the missionaries, especially Mr. Band)^, being directed towards
the people in the Mohallas. On this point, the report states:
A mohalla is one of the subdivisions of a city or town, being either a
street or a group of houses around an open plot of ground. In
one mohalla you are apt to find people of one caste, though this is not
necessarily the case, 'ihe special work has been in sweeper mohallas —
these sweepers being of the lowest caste, or outcastes, in fact. They are
scavengers, and make their living by cleaning the streets, cleaning pri-
vate houses, and carrying manure to the field. They are not as poor as
the lower castes of Hindus, and though much despised, they are not in-
ferior to the Hindus in intelligence or character. Not being held by
caste ties, they are far more easily influenced than the Hindus. The
sweepers in this district are principally Lai Begis, and their religion
resembles the Sikh religion. There have been 58 baptisms among these
people in Furrukhabad, and about 18 in Fatehgarh. Efforts are being
made to instruct the adults, and Mr. Bandy has a special boarding-school
for boys, some of whom are decidely promising.
In conducting this low-caste work, great pains is taken to
persuade tlie people to adhere to their usual vocations, and to im-
press npon them that confession of Christ is not to be understood
as entitling them to pecuniary benefits.
Zenana Work has been conducted as formerly by Miss Forman,
and efficient helpers employed by the Mission, including Miss
Blunt, who has devoted many years to this difficult and some-
what discouraging form of Mission work.
Famine Relief Work, under the superintendence of Mr. Henry
Forman, afforded \musual opportunities for preaching the Gospel
to the poor and needy. The funds furnished from the United
States v/ere very carefully distributed — an average of 300 people
being fed in the Mission Compound from day to day. Those
who were able were required to do work, for which the small
pittance necessary to keep them from starving was paid them.
It would have been an easy matter to have baptized such people
by the hundred, but the risk was too great. Later, however,
quite a number of those who had been under instruction in con-
nection with the famine relief were baptized, none of them being
now in any measure dependent upon the Mission for support.
Il8 FURRUKHABAD — FATEHPUK.
SCHOOLS. — The High School inFurrukhabacl had an average
attendance of 94, and the Government examinations showed
commendable proficiency on the part of the pupils. Eeligious
instruction is given daily in each class, and on the Sabbath the
school is almost transformed into a Sabbath-school, the large
majority of both teachers and pupils being in attendance. Owing
to the severe cut, four of the five vernacular boys' schools were
closed, and one of the seven vernacular schools for girls. In the
latter, 113 were in attendance. The Anglo-vernacular School
for Christian Boys at Eakha — the part of Fatehgarh where our
Mission work centres — was closed for a time on account of the
cut. The attempt was made to continue it without a paid teach-
er, but it was found impossible. The Vernacular School for
Christian Girls, at the same place, began with an attendance of
55, which increased to exactly 100. Most of these are from the
Orphanage, and the increase is accounted for by the increase in
the Orphanage from 45 to 103. A large number of orphans
were sent from this district to the Punjab and elsewhere, where
other Missions were glad to receive them.
The Training-school for Catechists, which is intended to fit
young men from the district for taking up work among their
own people, had an attendance of nine, five of them being men
of considerable promise. During the year they were removed
from the ]\[ission premises to Furrukhabad City, so that they
might engage in active work as well as in study.
Schools are also maintained at the outstations at Qamganj and
Chhibraman, 100 being in attendance at the former and 35 at
the latter.
FATEHPUR STATION.
There being no missionary in charge of this Station, the work
was supervised by Mr. Henry Forman, who visited the Station
regularly, directing the labors of the native helpers. There is
a small Church of 14 members at the Station, and an earnest
appeal is made for a missionary dwelling to take the place of one
which is falling to pieces, so that the Station may be reoccu-
pied, and the district comprising 750,000 people, and for which
our Mission alone is responsible, may be more adequately looked
after.
JHANSI STATION.
An important part of the work connected with this station
during the year was that of famine relief, conducted mainly by
Mr. Holcomb in the district, but in Jhansi participated in by
the missionary ladies. Eighteen journeys were made into the
surrounding country, 25 villages visited, and multitudes of the
star\'ing fed. The work extended from March to September,
and covered, therefore, the hottest part of the year. It was
FURRUKHABAD — JHANSI. II9
conducted in such a way as to combine evangelistic with
relief Avork, although the pressure upon time and strength to
distribute relief judiciously and efTectively limited the oppor-
tunities for preaching the Gospel more than could have been
desired, ilany, however, heard the truth for the first time,
and, being in a frame of mind to appreciate the beneficent spirit
of the Gospel, seed may have been sown which shall bring forth
fruit.
In Jhansi, preaching was carried on in the bazar, although
more in quieter places throughout the city and the suburbs.
Services in the Church were conducted by the missionary, assist-
ed by a native minister. One person united on confession of
faith. The reading-room was open during the entire year, and
the work of instruction and evangelization went quietly forward.
Besides the Sabbath-school in the church, two were held in the
cit}', one of them being in the poor-house, in which famine chil-
dren collected to the number of about GO.
SCHOOLS.— The Girls' School on the Mission compound,
under the superintendence of Mrs. Ilolcomb, comprises Benga-
lis, Hindus and Christians. This is'believed to be not only an
educational, but an evangelizing agency, as there is evidence
that Gospel truth taught in the school abides and manifests
itself in after-life. The Boys' Vernacular School, with 35
pupils, was in session during the year.
ZENA^nTA WOEK.— This has been conducted by Miss Ful-
lerton, and also by Mrs. Seymour, the latter having been engaged
in it for many years. Miss Fullerton has devoted most of her
time to this form of work, spending from five to nine hours each
day in it. No house is visited more frequently than once a
week. Stress is laid on the evangelistic rather than the educa-
tional side of the work. Few forms of effort are more discourag-
ing, so far as outward manifestation of success is concerned; and
yet those who are engaged in it are always full of hope as to the
ultimate outcome. Miss Fullerton says:
As to our success from a spiritual point of view, it is difficult to speak.
We have some pupils of whom we are hopeful. They seem in many Avays
to give evidence of having experienced a change of heart ; but we do not
see our way clear toward urging them to leave their husbands and their
children to come out and be baptized, especially since there is no pro-
vision made for their support if they do come out, and they are not able
to earn their own livelihood.
In confirmation of this, Mrs. Holcomb writes:
Some of the women to whom instruction is given seem not far from
the Kingdom of God. Of one such, Mrs. Seymour asked one day why,
since she trusted in Jesus for salvation, she did not openly acknowledge
her allegiance to Him. The woman sat silent a moment; then rising
and crossing the room, she drew aside a screen which shielded from pro-
I20 FURRUKHABAD— MAINPURIE.
fane eyes the household gods. Pointing to them, she said: "These are
the gods which my husband worships. A divided house in matters of re-
ligion would mean to me the loss of husband, of home and all of earth
that I hold dear, and I feel that I have not strength for such a sacrifice ! "
MAINPURIE STATION.
The absence of Mr. and Mrs. Andrews, during part of the
year, because of the serious illness of the former, interrupted
some departments of the work at this station. The same reason,
doubtless, accounts for the lack of the usual annual report of
these departments. Because of this lack, all that can be said of
the High School for Boys, which has been in successful opera-
tion for many years, is that it has been conducted as usual during
the year.
THE CHURCH.— Mr. Tracy reports that the church has
made "a grand advance in comparison with the past." This
seems to be largely in the line of fuller orgaiiization. A Chris-
tian Endeavor Society has been organized for young men and
women who are members of the church. A helpful impulse
was given by the presence of a native evangelist, the Eev. Ihsian
Ullah, who conducted service for some days, greatly to the enjoy-
ment and edification of the people. During these services,
"much stress was laid upon the teaching of our Lord as to the
marks of discipleship, and prominent among them was what He
requires in relation to worldly possessions." The outcome thus
far, in the direction of the consecration of substance, has been
encouraging.
EVANGELISTIC— Preaching on the streets of the city has
not been as well attended as in former years. It is believed that
the disheartened condition of the poor people because of the
prevailing famine may have had something to do with it, as this
form of service is attended mainly by the lower classes. '""VYant
and distress were everywhere manifest, and this constant
thought for the body seemed to preclude thought for the soul.''"
The chief work done in the evangelistic line during the year by
Mr. Tracy was at the outstation of Shikohabad, some 30 miles
from Mainpurie. The rest-house provided by the Board to en-
able the missionary to spend part of the hot season in superin-
tending the district work has been completed, so that it is now
possible to give closer supervision to that part of the work which
seems to respond most readily to missionary effort. Shikoha-
bad is a sweeper village, and the people worship in a small mud
house with a thatch roof, native helpers ministering to their
spiritual needs. It is here where the baptisms always take place,
and in connection with a season of worship, to avoid what is be-
lieved to be an unwise and somewhat miscellaneous administra-
tion of the ordinance as practiced by others. The report says:
FURRUKHABAD — MAINPURIE. 121
There have been no baptisms except from the sweeper caste. The
number could have been considerably increased, but the greatest care is
needed in receiving those who apply to us for this ordinance; for the
people are very poor, and their hope for material benefit may have great
influence in leading them to come to us.
WOEK AMONG THE WOMEN.— We have no report from
Mrs. Andrews or Miss Bailey, but Mrs. Tracy writes of her work
as follows:
Here and there, as God opened the way, I have been feeding the starving
and helping the discouraged; speaking words of cheer to the sick in the
Hospital; visiting and teaching in the prison and, above all, through
much Bible-study, seeking to lead our Christian women into deeper and
more spiritual lives. Zenana-teaching has been kept up, and the number
of pupils remains about the same; but, much more often than in former
years, have we left these homes and wandered off into new places, that
we might speak words of comfort to the weary ones. Were we ready to
receive all who profess a desire to become Christians, we might have many
baptisms; but, in these famine times, w^e need to'be especially careful that
a ^^'ish for support is not the moving power in the desire. In next year's
report I hope to be able to tell of many who have stood the test and have
been found worthy.
At this station, as elsewhere, much famine relief work was
done by the missionaries — money forwarded from America for
that purpose being disbursed by Mr. Andrews, treasurer of the
Mission.

of serious ill health. Mr. Hannum's family has been sorely
afflicted in the death of their beloved child, Mary, while Mrs.
Hannum has been ordered home by the medical adviser for
treatment.

WESTERN INDIA — KOLHAPUR. I23
KOLHAPUR STATION.
CHUECH. — The church reports 116 comniimicants, of whom
18 were added during the past year. The average attendance was
250, and the adherents 235. Because of the distress occasioned by
the famine, the year proved to be unfavorable for inaugurating
the principles adopted the 3^ear before looking towards self-
support. Steady progress has been made, however, in this
direction. The Sabbath-school has had an attendance at times
of 300, including teachers and scholars, and an average attend-
ance of 219; the falling off in the hot months and during the
festival seasons being marked. There are two other Sabbath-
schools connected with this station, having but a small enrol-
ment.
OUTSTATIONS.— At Wadgav and neighboring villages,
there are 60 members and adherents, of whom seven adults and
11 children were baptized during the year. At Herale, about
eight miles from Kolhapur, there are 69 members and adherents.
The lay preachers connected with the outstations "have labored
faithfully and efficiently through the year, each in a wide circle
of villages around his outstation." These preachers not only
preach the Gospel, but they administer medicines within a lim-
ited range to large numbers of patients, having rendered con-
spicuous service in this direction during the epidemic of cholera
which swept over their fields.
EVANGELISTIC— Open-air services in front of the Chapel
in the city have been continued, and efforts have been made to
reach men in the shops and elsewhere. Mr. Tedford and Mr.
Seller spent December in the northeastern part of the Kolhapur
field, visiting 30 villages and preaching the Gospel by aid of the
magic-lantern to many thousands. Mr. Hannum, with others,
also visited 29 villages in the Kasari valley, southwest of Pan-
hala, and made monthly visits to the outstations Vadagava and
Herale. Mrs. Ferris refers to opportunities she enjoyed of
speaking to many of the native chiefs and State officials at the
Eesidency, who not only listened respectfully, but asked ques-
tions, as if to learn more about Christ. The sale of Bible por-
tions in the city and the villages far and near has been contin-
ued, the colporteur going sometimes beyond the bounds of Kol-
hapur State. He reports earnest conversations with people in
the villages. The Bible-women, under the direction of Mrs.
Seller, have spent five hours daily in the cit}', going from house
to house telling the story of God's love. They have added four
or five new homes to their list of regular visiting places. Mr.
Wilson taught a class of Brahman young men on Sabbath morn-
ings in the Gospel by John.
124 WESTERN INDIA — KOLHAPUR.
SCHOOLS. — The Christian Girls' Boarding-school began
with an ateudance of 33 boarders and 12 day-pupils, and
closed the year with 52 boarders and seven day-pupils, the aver-
age attendance being 47. The regular work was interrupted a
little by moving into the Camp Hospital buildings while the
dormitory of the school was being enlarged. This addition has
added greatly to the comfort and convenience of the school.
The cut on the Mission estimates necessitated severe retrench-
ment— which, however, was met in part by gifts from friends.
Forty of the girls are supported by appropriations from the
Board, and the remainder by the missionaries of our own Mis-
sion and the Zenana Bible and Medical Mission (English) of
Eatnagiri. The average monthly expense of each girl in the
boarding department last year was three rupees and 14 annas
($1.25). Mrs. Ferris and Miss Patton each devote part of their
time to the school, being assisted by two native teachers and
some of the older girls. The conduct of the girls is reported
good, while there is a marked growth in grace in some. Several
touching incidents are reported of girls from the famine dis-
tricts, among which is that of two, Moena and Baiza:
Their mother died of cholera in the hot season, and they were brought
to school in August, clothed in bits of her lugade. They said that even
before the mother died, they did not have enough to eat, and she had
only one lugade; so they took a piece of it to bury her in, and kept the
rest to put on the little girls. Then a brother died, and they wrapped
his body in the one blanket that they had; and after that there wa,3
nothing to eat and no clothing; the house was tumbling down and the
father could get no work. When they came to Kolhapur, the father was
employed on our Famine Eelief work, and the children were put in school.
Their care for and anxiety about their father was very touching.
VERNACULx^R SCHOOLS.— The scarcity of food affected
somewhat the attendance on the schools in Herale and Halundi,
the children being required to do something towards securing the
necessaries of life. Because of retrenchment, five of the schools
in Kolhapur were closed, and two others were supported by Mr.
Seiler About 80 boys attend the Shukravar Peth (ward)
School, of whom 40 usually attend the Sabbath-school. The re-
port laments that no conversions occurred in these schools dur-
ing the year. On the other hand, there has not been wanting
evidence of the value of these schools as evangelistic agencies.
Mrs. Wilson, in speaking of the vernacular schools in Somvar
Peth, says:
While in a house one daj', a number of women gathered round. Among
them was a girl about IG or 17 years of age. After I had read a Bible
story and explained it, I asked the people if they knew why Jesus Christ
came into the world, and what he had done for us, and what he was to
us. This young girl immediately answered: "Yes, He is our Sa\-iour,
and He shed His blood for us and died for us," and other things she told
us that Jesus had done. She said that she had learned all she knew
about Jesus in the Sombar Peth school some years ago.
WESTERN INDIA — RATNAGIRI. 1 25
A School for Outcastes has been held on the veranda of the
best house in a little hamlet. The attendance was small part
of the year, as the children had to go about the town sifting
ashes and picking up broken food. The school for Mang girls,
formerly under the care of Miss Wilder, was held on the veranda
of the Mission bungalow, with an attendance of from three to
13. At the outstation (Herale) there are four primary schools
for boys. These were interrupted by the withdrawal of pupils
to receive famine relief; but the teacher followed them to the
relief works and continued the classes between the working
hours. During part of the year, since the abandonment of the
High School, Mr. Seller taught English a few hours each week
to a class of Brahman students. He also taught them the Gos-
pel by Luke. Two months of the rainy season were devoted to
giving instruction to a theological class by direction of the
Presbytery. Seven students were in attendance from various
parts of the field.
FAMINE RELIEF WORK.— When the pressure of famine
began to be most keenly felt, the Kolhapur Station determined
to make some provision for the Christians in the villages, who are
very poor even in prosperous times. Under direction of Mr. Han-
num, a hedge of aloes was planted around the greater part of the
Mission Compound, some 30 people being employed about four
months at an expense of Rs. 447 ($149.00), of which about Rs.
234 ($78.00) came from friends in Pennsylvania, the rest being
contributions of the missionaries on the field.
It is expected that the hedge will not only be a protection
against stray cattle and be somewhat ornamental, but also be
the basis of a useful industry, the leaves of the plant being used
by poor people for the manufacture of rope. It is estimated
that the hedge will in time produce 200 rupees' worth of such
material each year. Most of the persons employed were mem-
bers or adherents of the church. Advantage was taken of the
opportunity for giving them religious instruction. Mr. Han-
num adds: "The close of the year has providentially brought
the beginning of better times. There are some inquirers in the
villages who, if they still persevere after the return of prosperity
in seeking baptism, will probably soon be taken into the
Church.''
RATNAGIRI STATION.
It is still the day of small things with this station. The field
is Vide but difficult of cultivation, the people apparently being
less easily impressed than those in some other parts of the Mis-
sion. It covers a large territory and includes a population of
1,500,000, in the midst of which our Mission is the only evange-
listic agency at work, except the Zenana Bible and Medical Mis-
126 WESTERN INDIA — RATNAGIRI.
sion, which co-operates with our force. As much of the
territory is difficult of access by touring, an earnest plea is made
for the establishment of two new stations, respectively at Chip-
lun, 50 miles north of Ratnagiri, and at Vengurle or Savant
Vadi, 90 miles south, being large and important centres. It is
suggested also that outstations be established at points 30 miles
northwest, 30 miles south, inland, and about 75 miles south on
the coast, and also at Goa, about 100 miles south on the c6a.st.
The report adds: "If we had this accomplished, we would
but touch the fringe of our field of 1,500,000 of population."
The attendance at the Church was small most of the year,
although, after the opening of famine relief, it was largely
increased. The roll numbers 28, of whom eight, who were per-
manently located elsewhere, should be dismissed to other
churches. Twelve inquirers are reported as under instraction,
while still others profess themselves ready for baptism. In addi-
tion to doing something for self-support, the Church also helped
the missionaries to meet the salaries of native helpers who would
otherwise have been discharged on account of the cut. There
are four Sabbath-shools connected with the station — one held
in the church, and three branch schools. The attendance,
though not large, is encouraging.
EVANGELISTIC. — A native evangelist has preached the
Gospel in various parts of Eatnagiri and in adjacent villages
morning and evening during part of the year, Mr. Irwin fre-
quently taking his place while he was attending the theological
class in Kolhapur. Another rendered faithful service in Ven-
gurle outstation, a town of about 10,000 inhabitants, preaching
both in the town and in the surrounding villages. Some of the
ladies of the Mission, accompanied by native ministers, made
quite extensive tours, of which Miss Minor writes:
Five diflferent tours were made, which varied in length from five days
to a month. In 127 different towns and villages the Gospel was preached,
and several of these had more than one visit. Our aim was to visit
the smaller villages rather than the larger towns, though the latter were
by no means neglected. In order to visit these smaller places, much
climbing over rough roads and steep hills was found necessary, as the
Konkan villages are not very accessible. Many towns were visited which
had never seen a missionary before, and in many places there was great
fear of us.
In connection with this work a large number of books and
tracts were sold and distributed, both in the town and in the
district, during the year, tracts being furnished gratuitously lay
Mr. Price of the American Marathi Mission.
The Woman's Benevolent Society has been conducted by Miss
Minor, the time of the meetings being occupied by Bible-study
and sewing. House-to-house visitation and zenana work have
WESTERN INDIA — PANHALA. 12/
also been maintained by Miss Minor and Miss Jefferson, and by
the ladies of the Z. B. M. Mission, who most cordially co-operate
with our missionaries.
SCHOOLS. — There are four day-schools in connection with
this station, including a primary ci;iss for sweepers, maintained
by one of the ruling elders of the church in his own house, the
expense being borne by the church. Caste feeling and super-
stition have operated to some extent against the schools. Among
other evidences of this is the fact that, among the girls in one
of the schools, no weddings had taken place because of the posi-
tion of the planet Jupiter, which makes it an unfavorable year.
MEDICAL. — Dr. Wilson spent but a few months at Ratna-
giri, having been called to take charge of the hospital at Miraj,
because the illness of Mrs. Wanless required Dr. Wanless to be
absent. He, however, rendered some important service during
his stay, which was supplemented by Mrs. Irwin, who had been
sent out as a trained nurse, and who reports some 80 cases, for
which she had prescribed, the majority being Hindus. The
church has recently voted Es. 50 as a voluntary offering towards
the maintenance of Mrs. Irwin's medical work.
FAMINE RELIEF.— Miss Jefferson writes:
Seventy-two people have been engaged for a longer or shorter period
on the relief work carried on on our compound during two months and a
half of the rainy season. Whole families have come from surrounding
villages and have camped out on our compound, cooking their meals in
the open on a stove composed of three stones, and sleeping under a tree
or on the veranda of the schoolhouse. The aged, weak and needy have
been fed and to the poor the Gosjjel has been preached. One day, a
woman vnih two children — twins, a boy and a girl — came for assistance.
At a glance one could see the vast difference between the boy and the
girl; the boy being well fed and healthy, the girl being neglected
and reduced almost to a skeleton. I rebuked the mother for her par-
tiality. She replied: "What could I do? After I had fed the boy there
was nothing left for the girl."
PANHALA STATION.
Here, as elsewhere in this field, gaunt famine made itself felt,
although not so severely as in some parts of India. For eleven
months the destitute were helped by furnishing them work,
which yielded a support of one pint of grain a day per individual,
the grain being of the species of the sorghum found in our
Southern States. The famine sufferers, who received but eight
cents a day, quarried thousands of feet of stone, which was
hauled to our Kodoli Mission premises, and hundreds of brick
were molded and burned, the fuel being the Indian cactus, or
prickly pear, which was dried with great labor. The people
seemed touched by the tender sympathy and efficient help ex-
128 WESTERN INDIA — PANHALA.
tended by the missionaries, saying again and again: "You have
saved us; you have saved us!" A number who had been
inquirers for some time have come out on the Lord's side. In
relieving the famine-stricken, the Government built an excellent
road from Kodoli towards the sea, and another towads Kolhapur,
which makes communication with this outstation much more
easy and comfortable.
CHUECHES. — These are nominally two, although that at
Panhala has little more than a name to live, the Christians hav-
ing removed elsewhere. The Ayattavadi-Kodoli church — one
organization for two towns three or four miles apart — reports a
roll of 95 adults, of whom 33 were received on confession of faith
during the year. This is an encouraging record, being the most
precious ingathering in the history of this station, and it is
earnestly hoped that it is but the first fruits of a glorious har-
vest. The members live in eight different villages, within a
radius of a few miles from Kodoli. The native membership
contributed last year over 63 rupees for church support, and
other steps in this direction were taken. There are three Sab-
bath-schools connected with the station — that at Kodoli being
looked after by the missionaries, and those at other points by the
native teachers.
EVANGELISTIC— While at Panhala, Miss Irwin devoted
most of her time to house-to-house visitation, especially in the
villages below the fort. Although welcomed for the most part
by the women, it seemed difficult to make an impression, the
women responding sometimes. "No, no; there is no heaven for
women: it is our fate!"
Misses Sherman and Brown, besides visiting several villages
near Kodoli, devoted December and January to an extended
tour, reaching 37 villages, the greater part of the time walking
through fields, across rivers over dikes or dams, using the
"horseless carriage" — men's hands — where there was no bridge.
This was their method:
Pitch the tent, set up the baby-organ, open medieine-box — Miss Sher-
man is the amateur doctor of the firm. In the morning walk to a vil-
lage, return to the tent for breakfast, talk and sing by the tent-door, or
get a little rest at noon, if the villagers are not too curious; in the after-
noon another village, ten miles a day, weary bodies, but very happy
hearts; many careless hearers, but also thoughtful ones.
The native pastor reports that during the "rains" preaching
services were held in the Mahar town-hall. There was also
preaching in the potter's ward, in the highways, and in the tan-
ners' ward. He says: "I go to the homes of Hindus who are
inquirers to preach to them. I also go to the Christian homes,
I have preached in 60 villages, going over and over in order to
WESTERN INDIA — MIRAJ. 1 29
about 20 within six miles of Kodoli." He also preached in 24
villages in the Konkan, while the missionaries went far and near
preaching the Gospel. In one village no cart could be obtained
for the baggage of the evangelistic party. On being asked why
they had no carts, the people replied: "We worship the god-
dess of carts, and she would be angry if we kept any." "What
do you do when you yourselves need a cart?" "Oh, we hire
from another village."
A good site for JMission work has been bought in Islampur,
which the Mission is very anxious to occupy, and for the erection
of a house on which funds are available, but with the present
limited force, who is to occupy the new point?
SCHOOLS. — There are six schools connected with this sta-
tion in four different villages. In Kodoli most of the older
boys have been transferred to the Sangli Boarding-school, while
the night-school there is attended by several young Marathis
and others who have recently become Christians. There are
two schools for girls in the same place, one for the Mahars with
an enrolment of 34, and one for the Mangs with an enrolment
of about 30, these being under the superintendence respectively
of Miss Sherman and Miss Brown.
MIRAJ STATION.
The work connected with this station during the year centered'
largely in and around the medical department. Naturally the-
well-equipped hospital — the gift of a generous friend in the-
United States — was in turn the' religious centre of this work,,
under the direction of Dr. Wanless, save during his absence^
when Dr. Wilson took charge. Of no other medical work can
it be more truly said that the missionary idea is ever to the front,
the aim being to make every part of it tributary to the dissemi-
nation of the Gospel. Notwithstanding the quarantine regula-
tions against the plague, which made access to Miraj during part
of the year almost impossible, the record of work done is by no
means small. The report says:
The total attendance of new and returning patients was 15,976. Of
those treated 67 per cent, were males, 33 per cent, females, 17 per cent,
were children under the age of 15 years. The following is the percentage
of the difl'erent castes treated. Protestants and Roman Catholics, 6 per
cent.; Mohammedans, 19 per cent.; Brahmans, 15 per cent.; Jains, 14 per
cent.; other caste Hindus, 54 per cent.; low-caste Hindus, 51/2 per cent„
About 55 per cent, of those treated belong to Miraj city, and 45 per cent_
were from outside villages. During the year 133 minor operations have
been performed in the outdoor dispensary, and 365 major and minor opera-
tions in the Hospital, some 30 of which were cataract, making a total
of 498,
Among these patients were a number of prominent men, in-
cluding the native administrator of Jath, and men of high posi-

tion from Sang Kolha and other towns. The Nursing Depart-
ment, under the direction of Miss Sharp, of the Z. B. M. M.,
has had in training three or four native Christians, who give
promise of efficiency. In addition to practical work they
receive instruction in the elements of pharmacy, anatomy and
physiology. A medical class has also been conducted by Dr.
Wanless, Dr. Wilson sharing in the instruction for a time. It
comprises five Christian students, four of them being Christian
men of excellent character. The heavy demands of the govern-
ment for native medical aid, with the inducements offered, made
it impossible for the hospital to secure men trained elsewhere.
The report shows that the bearing of this medical work on the
religious aspect of missionary service has been marked. It is
worthy of note that, in the hospital, Brahmans and persons of
other high castes have frequently occupied beds side by side with
the lower classes; and it is mentioned as an indication of the
disarming of caste prejudice that people do not object now so
much as formerly to having their friends die in the Hospital.
But the chief missionary element in the work is the opportunity
afforded for the preaching of the Gospel in hospital and dispen-
sary. Not only the physician in charge, but Mr. Simonson and
Miss Sharp, together with native assistants, have taken great
pains to publish the Gospel both to the dispensary patients from
far and near and at the bedside of those in the hospital.
CHUECH. — The church is yet in its infanc}^, and has but 15
communicants, with about 20 adherents. The growth in spir-
ituality on the part of the members, however, is noticed with
gratitude. The Sabbath-school is really a Sabbath class, there
being but 15 in attendance.
EVANGELISTIC— In addition to the work done in hospital
and dispensary, preaching has been conducted on the streets of
the town, even the courtyard of a large mosque being used for
this purpose without interference. Mr. Simonson, with Messrs.
Graham and Seller, visited towns and villages north of Sangli,
returning among those to the east of Miraj and Sangli. Enemies
were busy reporting that the object of the missionaries was to
poison wells, so that people did not give them a cordial welcome.
Elsewhere, however, they were willing to listen patiently to
what was said. In most all villages there were Mussulmans
stumbling at the divinity of Christ, Jains offended by Christians
who are careless of animal life, and erring philosophers whose
pantheistic theories leave them no place for sin or guilt.
SANGLI STATION.
The return of Mrs. Graham to the United States, because of
;a depleted nervous condition, threw the entire burden of the re-
WESTERN INDIA — SANGLI. I3I
sponsibility of this station on Mr. Graham, who, however, was
greatly aided by his daughter, who has been employed by the
Mission as an assistant. For one man to be principal of a board-
ing-school, stated supply of a church, treasurer of a mission, su-
perintendent of vernacular day-schools, and itinerating preacher,
is certainly approaching the impossible. Each department of
the work, however, seems to have received a fair share of atten-
tion.
The Church is still but a feeble band, numbering but 27 com-
municants, with an average attendance at public services of 100.
No conversions are reported for the past year. It is gratifying
to learn that, with one exception, the members of this church
who belong to Sangli are not at all dependent upon the Mission
for their support, but earn their daily bread in the ordinary
walks of life. The Sabbath-school, with a membership of 175,
is greatly helped by the presence of the boys from the boarding-
school, although the closing of one of the girls' day-schools be-
cause of the cut has affected seriously the attendance of girls.
EVANGELISTIC. — Three native ministers, one of whom is
also a teacher, devoted a large amount of time to preaching in
Sangli and the surrounding villages, and a faithful Bible-woman
did much house-to-house visitation. Mr. Graham spent January
with two native helpers itinerating in the district north of
Sangli. The magic-lantern was used with good results, even on
a moonlight night, by taking advantage of the shade of a banyan
or other tree. i\_nother tour was made through the towns lying
west of Sangli.
SCHOOLS. — Boys' Boarding-school. — The year opened with
62 names on the roll and closed with 68, each of the Mission sta-
tions being represented in the number. A rigid examination
showed very commendable progress on the part of the pupils,
when estimated by the number who were passed from the lower
to the higher standards. An earnest plea is again made for the
enlargement both of the dormitory and the schoolhouse. The
reasonableness of this plea will appear when it is stated that
^'the average space for a boy when all are l3dng on the floor (they
have no beds) is less than five feet by two. The classes overflow
from the scholhouse into the missionary dwelling, the veranda,
and another building not at all suitable for school purposes."
The reappointment of Mr. Jolly to the Industrial Department
of the school will increase rather than diminish the demand for
enlargement.
Owing to the severe cut, but two vernacular schools have been
in operation instead of six reported a year ago. In the school for
^'good-caste Hindu and Mohammedan boys," the pupils are re-
quired to purchase their own books, except the readers and the
132 WESTERN INDIA — SANGLI.
books containing the prescribed course of religious instruction.
The readers are supplied by the Missions, as they prefer the
publications of the Christian Literature Society, but do not wish
to compel non-Christians to purchase them. Were the books
not given gratuitously, the boys and their parents would prefer
the readers of the Government series. A small monthly fee for
tuition is charged, but enough to give some financial aid, while
at the same time maintaining the principle of self-support. The
other vernacular school is in the Mang Wadi (ward). It holds
its sessions on the veranda of a dwelling-house, and is attended
exclusively by the children of Mangs, "who are a very low-caste
people, and have the reputation of being thieves by profession
and nature.'^ Still the Mangs of Sangli probably know more
Christian truth than any other class of people. When the day
of awakening comes to India, we hope that many will come forth
from these degraded and despised people.
MISSIONS IN JAPAN.
The year 1897 has shown substantial progress in the Mission
work in Japan. In some particulars, the year 1896 fell behind
the year 1895. There was a decrease in the number of conver-
sions, and the total number of the Protestant Christians dimin-
ished from 38,710 for 1895, to 38,361 for 1896. During 1897,
however, there were 3,063 adult conversions, as compared with
2,513 for 1896; and the membership of the Church increased to
40,578. The organized churches, which had dropped from 426
in 1895 to 378 in 1896, rose to 384. The number of missionaries
diminished from 680 to 652, while the number of Stations where
missionaries are resident increased from 130 to to 146, and the
outstations from 716 to 739. In spite of the increase in prices
due to the adoption of the gold standard and of the temptations
io secular employment, the number of native ministers increased
from 281 to 302, though the native preachers and helpers fell off
from 610 to 580. According to Mr. Loomis' table, from which
these figures are taken, the contributions of the native Christians
during the year rose from 60,504 yen to 81,551 yen. The largest
gain in church-members was in the Nippon Sei Kokuwav (the
Episcopal Church) from 6,337 to 8,349. The Kumiai (the Con-
gregational Church) advanced from 9,863 to 10,047. The Ameri-
can Methodist from 3,524 to 4,387. The Church of Christ from
10,538 to 11,108. The largest number of conversions, however,
was in the latter — 774.
Christianity has steadily strengthened itself in the Empire,
and in the midst of the religious unrest and moral uncertainty
of the nation, is sounding forth a clear and positive message.
The liberal wave seems to be subsiding, and both preachers and
people are exalting Christ and the truths of the Gospel. The
revision of the treaties and the approach of the date at which the
revised stipulations were to go into effect abolishing the right of
extra-territoriality, acknowledging Japan's tariff autonomy, and
opening the whole country to foreign residence and trade, made
the Buddhists especially over restive, and their leaders have tried
to prepare the people for the influences which they fear will be
fatal to the old, childlike superstitious life of the country folk.
From the Shinto point of view also, Christianity has been antag-
onized as unpatriotic, and the Christian's belief that God is su-
preme has been denounced as inconsistent with proper loyalty to
the Emperor as the Son of Heaven.
The chief foe of Christianity, however, has been the intense
industrial spirit which has developed. "The predominant trait

of the day is individualism,"said a leading Japanese in Tokyo, to
one of the Secretaries of the Board, "the aristocracy of money.
The trader used to be despised. He was below the artisan and
the farmer. Now, in the estimation of the people, the great
merchant is above officials." "The spirit of money-worship is
our most formidable foe," said another. "The people are mad
for money — to spend on food, drink and pleasure. We are be-
coming a grasping nation." "No," said others, "the nation sees
that wealth is the secret of national power, and that manufacture
and trade are the secret of wealth. We would be a great nation.
To be a great nation, we must be rich." This materialistic spirit
is dominant. It affects the question of self-support obviously,
and it woos young men away from the humble service of Christ.
It even makes it difficult for the government to recruit the police
service. This spirit received such expression as this in a Jap-
anese magazine last summer:
There is nothing that country (America) is unable to buy or under-
take to do Irom tlie lack of funds. Their eyes are widely open to money-
making; to them money-making is the standard of everything, carlyle's
sarcasm on the English people, "whose hell is the want of money or the
failure to make money," is very true of the American people, and where
is a certain charm in that. They are eager to make money and enrich
the country, hence there are magnificent educational and charitable
institutions and industrial progress. Doubtless it is this money-making
spirit that made America what it is now. The Japanese spirit of looking
ahead and grasping the newest things in the world cannot be satisfied
elsewhere as well as in America. To-day, whichever way we may turn,
we can see the influence of American progress stamped in the Japanese
material civilization. Then, remembering this fact, if Americans will
concentrate their interest, time and money that they have to spare to
Japan, in the industrial, commercial and agricultural lines, they will
give a lasting and permanent influence to Japan, and one tliat mil be
more benefit to them than the missionaries' attempt to save souls and
to give them the promise of bliss in heaven hereafter.
The following table will show the rapid growth of Japan's for-
eign trade:

In the Church of Christ and the Missions co-operating with it,
the two great questions of the year have been: the problem of co-
operation and the matter of self-support. At the meeting of the
Synod in Tokyo last July, the following action was taken with
reference to the first of these questions:
That whereas, a co-operating Mission is one that plans and executes
all its evangelistic operations through a committee composed of equal
numbers of the representatives of a Mission working within the bounds
of a Presbytery of the Church of Christ in Japan, and of members of
said Presbytery; be it
136 JAPAN.
Resolved, That a committee of seven be appointed to consult carefully
with each Mission having hitherto held co-operative relations; and,
further, that if it appears necessary to the committee, it shall have power
to call a special meeting of the Synod.
Eegarding the second question, the Synod adopted a resolution
proposing that the members of the Synod should agitate the mat-
ter of self-support with a view to putting all churches on an inde-
pendent basis within two years. After the Synod adjourned, the
missionaries belonging to the seven Missions co-operating with
the Church of Christ met at Karuizawa, and took the following
action with reference to the Synod's resolution on co-operation.
Wheeeas, the Synod at its late session in Tokyo adopted a minute
in regard to tlie matter of co-operation between the Presbyteries and
the Missions, stating what, in the opinion of the Synod, constitutes
co-operation, and appointed a committee of seven to confer ^^^th a similar
committee of the Co-operating Missions on the subject; be it
Resolved, That, in view of individual and widely differing responsibili-
ties, co-operation is, in the opinion of the Council, best carried out where
the Japanese Church organization in its sessions, Presbyteries and Synod,
•directs all ecclesiastical matters, availing itself of the counsels and assist-
ance of the Missions or Missionaries as occasion arises ; wliile the Missions
direct their own educational, evangelistic and other missionary opera-
tions, availing themselves likewise of whatever counsel and assistance
they may be able to obtain from their brethren in the Japanese Church;
and that, under the circumstances, it does not seem best to enter into
co-operation as defined by the Synod, but to recommend (to the several
Missions) that a committee be ajipointed of one from each Mission to
confer with the committee of the Synod in a spirit of fraternal good-will
for the purpose of communicating the opinion of the Council, and en-
deavoring to promote a better understanding on the subject of co-opera-
tion.
At the same meeting of the Council, after a prolonged and
thorough discussion of the question of self-support, the follow-
ing resolutions were proposed and agreed upon:
(1). That all Missions co-operating in this Council make it a rule
not to aid financially any Church organized hereafter; and that, in con-
currence with the recent action of the Synod on this subject, we earnestly
labor and pray tor the entire self-support of all organized Churclies now
receiving financial aid from the Missions within the next two years.
(2). That, in aiding companies of believers, both such as are con-
nected with organized Churches and such as are not, the Missions adopt
a uniform rule of not paying rent or incidental expenses.
(3). That all new work, and as far as practicable in alreaay exist-
ing work, the lilissions be urged to make a trial of Dr. Nevius' meitiods in
the general work of evangelization — emplopng fewer workers, paying no
rent or incidental expenses, and by groviping Christians into circuits to
make the work entirely self-supporting from the very start.
(4). 'ihat in all cases churches and preaching-places receiving iMis-
sion aid shall be required to fill out a monthly blank, sho^ving member-
ship, attendance, amount and sources of all money received, and the man-
ner in which the same has been expended; and that this blank be a uni-
torm one for all the Co-operating ;^lissions.
(5). Finally, that the Council appoint a standing committee of three
EASTERN JAPAN. 1 37
members, on self-support, to which any matter relating to the subject
may be referred, and which shall report to the next meeting of the
Council.
The work would now seem to be on a better basis than for
3'ears, although there is need of care and constant prayer for the
Mission and the Church, that the Missions may be wise and
that the Japanese Church may be obedient to the spirit of God,
and accomplish the mighty mission which God has for it in
Asia.

EVANGELISTIC WORK.— Mr. :\IacXair writes:
My work has continued to be that of preaching in Tokj-o and vicin-
ity, and the completing of an exposition of Genesis and the carrying of
the same through the press. The book would have been finished by this
time but for my recent illness, which interfered "\Aith proof-reading, and
so with the work of the printer. It will be issued in February, and
Mill consist of about 1,200 pages (9x6), together with a specially pre-
pared map. In evangelistic work I have given the most of my time dur-
ing the year to the Churches and preaching-places in the province of
Chiba.
In Migata several Xormal School students have become inter-
ested in Christianity, but were forbidden to attend Church serv-
ices on pain of expulsion. After Dr. McCauley's death, his evan-
gelistic work was largely added to Dr. Thompson's, who has con-
tinued his supervision of native evangelists, and reports 13 bap-
tisms at Stations under his care where there were no or-
dained native workers. Of course, all the evangelistic work of
the Tokyo missionaries has been through the Church of Christ,
which numbers, among its members in the Tokyo Presb3'tery,
some of the strongest Christian men in Japan. j\Ir. Ballagh has
conducted preaching during the year among the students of the
Fukuzawa tJniversit3^
138 EASTERN JAPAN.
EDUCATIONAL. — No report has been received from the
Academical Department, which is under the care of the Board of
Directors. Dr. Imbrie writes of the Theological Department:
At the commencement in the spring, twelve students were graduated.
Nine of these are now engaged in evangelistic work. Of the remaining
three, one is teaching, one is employed in a newspaper oillce, and one
is a clerk in a bank. This was not a matter of choice, but of necessity.
They Avere unable to outain work in connection with either the Church
or the Mission.
The number of students now in the school is 15 — three seniors, five
miudlers, three juniors and four specials. Five of these are new students.
So far as can be ascertained, there are three reasons for the small number
of students now in attendance : ( 1 ) . The additions to the Churches dur-
ing recent years have been few in comparison with formerly, and par-
ticularly is this true in the case of young men. (2). The openings for
business of various kinds are many and attractive. (3). The uncer-
tainty of employment in evangelistic work after graduation.
JOSHI GAKUIN. — One hundred and twenty-three girls were
in attendance during the year, the school closing with 101, 69 of
whom were boarders. Forty-seven of the girls were Christians,
and there were seven baptisms during the year. The lower
grades of the school were dropped in order to give more atten-
tion to the upper classes, which have been of greater interest and
popularity. During the year, the Department of Mathematics,
heretofore in the hands of a man, has been filled by one of the
school graduates, with the best results. Miss Milliken's report
adds:
The great typhoon in early September did us but little damage. Did
the elements feel we had suffered too severely from the "cut" to endure
farther violence?
There were four graduates in March, all of whom are now engaged in
teaching. Letters from the "old girls," scattered through the length and
breadth of the Empire, show that many of them are busy as teachers,
while some are engaged in Christian home-making.
BIBLE-SCHOOL.— Miss West reports, for the school which
has been under her care and Mrs. MacNair's:
We closed the year with 13 students, although there have been 21 in
the Bible-school this yeai*. In July a class of iive graduated — one the
wife of an evangelist.
As we reported last year, 13 candidates were refused, and only those
admitted who seemed adapted for Bible-women's work, or promising
enough to take on trial.
We have found — by long experience — that older women who have hard
struggles with first efforts in regular school-life at advanced age, after
a term of discipline which calls forth latent powers and dcA^elops new,
make excellent workers.
We have never known a year of more harmony in the home-life, cr
more steady spiritual growth.
The school in Shinagawa under government license has been
supervised, as before, by Mrs. MacXair. One hundred and forty
boys and girls have been enrolled, all but three from heathen
EASTERN JAPAN. I39
homes. Mrs. MacNair writes that they have been taught the
Lord's Prayer, the Ten Commandments, the Apostles' Creed, a
number of Christian hymns, and are familiar with Bible stories
from the days of Adam to those of Paul. The total expense of
the work has been $170.00 from America, besides what is given
by the families of the children, poor as they are; being road-dig-
gers, jinriksha-drawers, cobblers, and very small shopkeepers.
Mrs. McCauley's School, Keimo jSTo. 2, Mrs. Thompson has
cared for. Two hundred and ten pupils have been enrolled when
the school was fullest. In both these schools Bible sessions are
held on Sunday, and Mrs. Thompson reports also a weekly meet-
ing for women, a prayer-meeting, and house-to-house visitation^
"all to extend and make permanent the work in the school."
GEISTEEAL. — Miss Youngman reports that "the Lord has
blessed the efforts of His servants in the conversion of some souls
in every one of the departments" under her care. After Miss
Davis' return to America, Miss Ballagh removed from Yokohama
to assist Miss Milliken and Miss Gardner in the Joshi Gakuin,
though continuing still the school for poor children, with a daily
attendance of 30 in Yokohama, the parents of the children en-
treating her not to give the school up, and drop the children
down into what they had been lifted out of. Miss West reports
from the Shiba Sunday-school:
In October we had the great joy of seeing three of the pupils, fine-
young girls, just entering womanhood, received into the Church on con-
fession of faith.
And of her interesting Hospital work, adds:
This visiting in the Hospital has been of constantly increasing inter-
est. Some who had known many months or even years of weary suffer-
ing, found peace and rest in Jesus our Saviour, and spent their last days
in quiet hope, at last passing away Avithout that fear of death which is
so strong in the heart that does not know our God. One of the oldest
women, a woman of rare tact, deep sympathy and devoted spirit, has-
gone weekly "as a friend" to help confort and cheer the sick, and has
followed into their homes many who have tasted enough to long for more
of the Bread of Life.
There are other faithful native workers who need to be remem-
bered in the midst of the distress that is somewhat felt by the-
native Christians. Miss Gardner writes of one of them:
It is joy when associated with one such worker as she to see, as in her
case, how constantly the Holy Spirit can use one who is lovingly submis-
sive to Him. Even, when, for a short time, laid aside by an illness so se-
vere as would have caused others to think only of their own sufferings,
she improved every opportunity for doing her ]\Iaster's work; telling the
attending physicians and nurses of the hospital of Jesus, and sending mes-
sages and leaflets to the patients in her own and neighboring wards.
140 EASTERN JAPAN — YOKOHAMA, THE HOKKAIDO.
Dr. McCartee has been working on the task assigned him by
the Mission of reporting on the Chinese characters found in the
Japanese version of the Bible, and suggests that this may be the
last and crowning work of his life. "If I can do it well/' he
addSj "I shall be content."
YOKOHAMA STATION.
Miss Case writes:
We have been passing through a conflict with reference to the exist-
ence of our Mission School, and rejoice in the result. Our weapons have
not been of a material nature, but by faith, hope and love we have pre-
vailed and re-established our school, which has been for years dear to
many hearts.
With a Board of seven qualified teachers for the 216 pupils, eight
students were graduated from the Koto course, and 30 from the Jinjo
department at the end of the school-year. During the past three months
the tuition fees have exceeded the sum of $214.00, making the school,
aside from rent, entirely self-supporting.
The Shiloh Church registers 2.50 communicants, to which were added
during the year five by letter from other Churches, and five by profes-
sion of their faith.
Fourteen trips were made by the foreign teacher and a Bible-woman
to the Naval Hospital at Tokosuka, where over 4,000 tracts and copies
of the Gospels were distributed.
The day-school becomes a Sunday-school at two o'clock each
Sunday.
THE HOKKAIDO.
The Hokkaido is the northern island of Japan, the least devel-
oped section of the country, corresponding to our great "West.
Mr. Pierson indicates the general character of the field in his
report :
Three facts are always before us : ( 1 ) . The interior of this island, one-
sixth of the area of the Empire, and as large as Shikoku and Kyushu
combined, is absolutely wild forest and prairie land. (2). The people are
coming in from the south by the thousands every year. (3). Buddhism
is active, and the new colonist communities fibad themselves facing the
unique necessity ol settling on a religion.
Connected with the Church of Christ in Japan is the work conducted
in ten places on the Island. In seven of these places thei'e are Church
buildings, three of which are the homes of organized Churches.
In Otaru, more than half of the 1,000 yen used in constructing and
furnishing the building, was raised by the 30 or 40 believers in that city.
In Monovan the believers number less than twenty, yet they contributed
200 to 300 yen, with which an excellent site was purchased, graded and
faced with stone.
Abroad, my work has been a monthly trip alternately to each of
the two sections into which our field is geographically divided. Such
visits, I have found, afford continuous opportunities for evangelizing
people — on the cars and stages, on the sleighs and boats, on the moun-
tain-roads and by the sea. Tracts have been used extensively.
There have been some trying experiences during the year: (I). The
resignation of three of our evangelists, all, I believe, however, with ths
EASTERN JAPAN — THE HOKKAIDO. I4I
intention of alwaj's doing evangelistic work, only seeking self-support.
(2). The lax observance, on the part of some of our Christians, of the
Sabbath — offset, however, by the consistent keeping of the day sacred
on the part of others. (3). Because of the authority of un-Christian
parents to compel the divorce and remarriage of a Christian son or
daughter, the difficulty of maintaining the sacredness of the marriage tie.
But against all this, is the present opportunity for winning men to Christ
wherever one goes.
Mrs. Pierson reports women's meetings, house-to-house visits,
a young women's sewing society working in connection with the
^Yomen's Charitable Society of Sapporo, which consists of mem-
bers from five different Churches, Sunday-schools, a Bible-class
meeting once a week, with ten pupils from the Agricultural Col-
lege in Sapporo. In the Sapporo Girls' School Miss Smith re-
ports a registration of 107 pupils, including some small children,
who coul,d not be admitted to the government schools for want of
room. Six united with the Church during the year, and others
are delayed until they are a little older.
At Otaru Miss Eose has enrolled 70 pupils — 40 since the board-
ing department was disbanded. In connection with the Sumiyo-
shi Sunday-school, Miss Eose reports crowds of people as listen-
ing at the open door, ready to receive Christian tracts.

After the fearful accident which befell Mr. Porter two years
ago, when, with his bicycle, he fell over a cliff on the Japanese
coast, it was feared that he would be unable to resume his work.
Instead of this, however, he has steadily recovered strength, and
has been for some time carrying on his important work as effi-
ciently as ever. The work in his district has been reorganized
during the year; the number of evangelists being reduced, and a
larger amount of itinerating work expected of them in line with
the action taken by the Council of Missions. Mr. Porter regards
the results as most satisfactory. The Kj^oto Church has had four
accessions. Evangelistic work has been carried on at three
points in the city, with two kindergartens and a woman's meet-
ing; and work has been carried on at the outstations Tsunga,
Obama and Kumagawa, with prospects improved since the plan
of localized evangelists has been abandoned. Mr. Porter writes:
At both Kuwaguwa and Obama, where there are meetings at all,
they are held in private houses, without cost to the ^lission; but we do
not insist on having meetings, if we can get opportunities of teaching
individuals.
Of the Kindergarten under her care, Miss Kelly reports that it
has won the good will of the neighborhood:
143
WESTERN JAPAN— OSAKA. I43
The appearance and manners of many of these dainty little people
indicate that they have not played in the streets, or been knocked about
by ruder children; and one meek little face came from the home of a
Buddhist priest. The daily Bible lesson seems as enjoyable to them as
their games. I wish their seniors knew as much of Joseph, Abraham
and of Jesus as these little ones know!
Work in the homes and for the mothers is, perhaps, the most difficult
and discouraging branch of the work. We are in a weaving locality,
and mothers as well as the fathers and every child able to work are at
the looms; and one feels as though you were interfering with the earn-
ing of daily bread to stop their work for a call. After calling in the
homes of many of our children, I find that many of them come from just
such homes. Sometimes the call must be made at the door, but oftener
we are cordially welcomed in. Our repeated invitations to meetings
and preaching are of little avail with the older, busy people; but we get
the older children to Sunday-school, and some of the older sisters, and
occasionally a mother, to the meetings for women.
The married women attending are very few and irregular, but we are
gradually getting a regular attendance of girls, from 15 to 20 years old.
For them we have classes in whatever industry within our knowledge
that may attract them, with singing and Bible instruction.
Miss Kelly is also carrying on a most interesting night-school:
My classes now number 31 pupils. During the year there has been
a total enrollment of 121. Many of them are from the higher schools;
also merchants, government ofiicial, and a Buddhist priest.
My Bible class on Sabbath afternoons has increased in proportion to
the increase of the school. A number of these pupils are studying regu-
larly and faithfully, with an evident desire to understand and believe.
These classes, therefore, are not without encouragement. In July, three
of the pupils of the school and Bible class were baptized, all of them
testifying to having received their first influence towards Christianity
from the school.
OSAKA STATION.
Mr. Haworth writes:
During the year I have administered the communion service fourteen
times, assisted in ordaining and installing three pastors, an elder and a
deacon, and in the licensure of one evangelistic helper, and in the or-
ganization of one Church, performed one marriage ceremony and bap-
tized 37 persons. Of these baptisms, four were in the North Church
(Osaka), 14 at the Fukushima Kogisho (Osaka), one at the Je Nan
Kogisho (Osaka), one in Sakai, IG in Yawatahama, and one in the
Ozu Church. I have made four evangelistic tours.
Some of the incidents recorded on one of these tours through
the field of Fukui Station are indicative of present conditions in
Japan:
Now that the railroad has penetrated this benighted, this stronghold
of Buddhism, we may hope for a great change. In other parts of the
country, the railroad has proved a powerful path-opener for the Gospel.
A few years ago, the great city of Nagoya was as much under control of
the conservative, Christian-hating Buddhists as Daishoji now is, and mis-
aionaries used to have a hard time to get a hearing there. But the
opening of the Tokaido Railway line has changed all that, and to-day
the Christian religion is making rapid headway in that important city.
144 WESTERN JAPAN — OSAKA.
As an instance of the profound antagonism to Christianity in Daishoji,
I may mention the treatment which the Evangelist's children meet at
the hands of other children at school. They are persecuted in every con-
ceiAable way, the teaeheis taking no measures to prevent it. For ex-
ample, they are often compelled to leave uneaten the lunch they carry
to school, or to eat it stealthily in some filthy place, so relentless are
their persecutors. To be known as a Christian boy or girl in Daishoji
involves hardships and terrors not known to an American child. Some-
times other children have begun to come to the house of the evangelist,
in a quifet way, to have a little Sunday-school. But no sooner is the
fact known, than they are set upon with persecution by the juvenile
rabble at school, and are made to suffer the same persecutions which the
Nagoa children have so long endured. I sometimes wonder at the faith-
ful loyalty of this little man of God in the midst of the social ostra-
cism and persecution which he has met for so many years. But he
seems cheerful and full of hope, and I am sure God will one day crown
his labors with success.
If we were disposed to use money to purchase Christians, we might
gather followers even in Daishoji and vicinity. Mr. Nagao told me of a
man, chief of a village, who offered to bring his whole village of thirteen
families over to Christianity if Mr. Nagao would pay 50 yen per family.
For 650 yen (about $325.00 gold), a Avhole village could have been con-
verted! But, on being told that we do not pay men for becoming Chris-
tians, this would-be convert became a bitter opponent of the faith. There
are also a few renegade Christians in Daishoji — people who have been
expelled from the Church for gross sins, who are now actively propagat-
ing falsehoods about our religion and deceiving many.
The work in Toyama is hopeful for the reason that the opposition is
stirred up, and people want to hear Avhat it is all about. The time will
come, I believe, when we shall see splendid results for the long years of
sowing in tears and waiting in that city, on the part of our missionaries
and native helpers.
In various parts of the country, the twenty-fifth anniversary
of the organization of the First Protestant Church in Japan was
celebrated in October. Mr. Haworth whites of the celebration
in Osaka, which took place at our Girls' School:
This was but one of the many similar meetings held in all parts of
Japan on the 10th of October, in commemoration of the completion of the
first quarter of a century of our Presbyterian Church history in Japan.
The occasion has been seized by the native Church leaders for a series
of evangelistic rallies for the purpose of quickening the interest of the
members in their Church, and arousing them to special efforts for the
conversion of the nation. In Osaka, the four Presbyterian Churches and
the members of the various chapels (preaching-places not yet organized
into churches) combined in celebrating the birth of Japanese Presby-
terianism, holding the meeting in the chapel of our Mission School, and
using the beautiful grounds for their games and social enjoyments after
the formal service was ended.
Should the Church make the same rate of progress during the next
twenty-five years, there will be a mighty host of Presbyterians in
Dai Nippon when they come to celebrate their semi-centennial.
EDUCATIONAL.— At the Xaniwa Girls' School there was an
average attendance during the year of about 30. The school suf-
fered severely from the resignation of Miss McGuire on her re-
turn to America, and the departure of Miss Thompson on account
WESTERN JAPAN— HIROSHIMA. I45
of ill health. Miss Settlemyer, hoM-ever, was transferred from
Kanazawa, and Miss Garvin gave the school the time which an
accident prevented her giving to the evangelistic work. Miss
Haworth, who has now assumed responsibility for this school,
writes:
If the Christian influence of tlie school could be supplemented by
direct personal work in their lioines, this desirable result could be se-
cured; but, for lack of a missionary worker to take advantage of such
openings, there is loss at this point. It is a lamentable fact that, for
want of suflicient force, this form of work has scarcely been attempted
since the school was opened ten years ago. Tlie school' opens a fine field
in this direction. Fifty homes at least will admit with great efiect, if
she is prepared for it, one in connection with the school, and hardly any
other.
There were 11 graduates, or promotions, in ]\Iarch. In tlie two
day-schools now operated by the jMission in this city, there are 150
pupils in actual attendance, with four teachers.
There is a class of 13 or more young ladies, Avho meet daily at one of
the schools to learn sewing and other accomplishments. These have been
called upon to give the graceful Ceremonial Tea (a fine art in Japan),
and by such means they are led from purely heathen influences into
Christian surroundings, and not infreqiiently into the Church.
In Sakai, a suburb, a hopeful kindergarten has been estab-
lished, and in many communities the people urgently desire the
opening of such work.
WOMEN'S EVANGELISTIC WOEK.— Miss Garvin made
a three Aveeks' tour in the Yamaguchi field after the last Annual
Meeting, but met with an accident to her ankles, which has since
prevented her walking. She has still encouraged and supervised
the women's work in the two Osaka Churches. "It seems to me,"
she writes, "that we should, as a rule, discourage the emjDloying
of Bible- women in organized Churches, where there are even
moderately capable women among the members, lest we defeat
our own object and hinder rather than help their spiritual
growth." All the interior furnishing of the new church build-
ing was bought from the Avomen's fund." At Osaka, women who
could not be reached otherwise, were brought in Avhen the
"mother" chord was touched.
I helped them start a women's meeting a year ago; but it was sel-
dom we could get people out. Often we three had prayer, and went home
with nothing further accomplished. But later, by changing the name
and calling it a "Mother's Meeting," we got together once a month a
roomful of some of the most intelligent women in the town.
HIROSHIMA STATION.
The local work of the Hiroshima Station is under Mr. Bryan's
care, while Mr. Doughty has been responsible for the country
work. Mr. Doughty reports, for the whole Station:
146 WESTERN JAPAN — HIROSHIMA.
During the past year there has been no very marked change in our
region, but we rejoice in an increased attendance upon chapel-preaching,
a more respectful hearing, and a larger number of inquirers.
We lost several baptized members. The reason for this is that most
of our inquirers are "transients," — clerks or officials in the government
service, railroad, telegraph or post-office, — and are often transferred. As
has often been explained, such people are peculiarly susceptible to the
Gospel from the fact that they are away from home or birthplaces, and
where friends and surroundings are not a hindrance. i>ut as they are a
shifting materia], it is a difficult matter to build up an organization with
them.
As to the heavy "cut," the Station regards it as a real benefit:
( 1 ) . In bringing home to the consciousness of the native Church the
fact that the present aid system is abnormal, not permanent, and indeed
is likely to be cut off entirely in the near future. No amount of talk could
ever have done this, but the painful effects of reduced aid could not be
misunderstood. (2). As a consequence, the Church has been led to con-
sider in earnest some plan whereby the Church can be maintained with-
out foreign financial aid; I mean (3) the Mission has been brought to
realize that it can get along on less money.
After the visit of Mr. and Mrs. Speer and Mr. Grant to the
Station, Mr. Doughty reports:
The pastors and elders came to see me, and said they had decided to
organize a Young INIen's Christian Association, and requested me to take
charge of an English department, and to teach the Bible to a class of
these young men on Sunday. I gladly consented to help them, and took
charge of the English department, but being absent so often on Sunday in
the country renedered it difficult to comply with the second request.
The Society was organized at my house immediately after the Summer
A'acation, with a membership of 30, and perhaps as many more have
joined since. The pastor and elders make up the officers, as experience
has proven to them, in a previous association, that the pride born of a
little rank, which such a position confers, is entirely too much for the
good of the young men themseh^es. The institution has not prospered to
the extent that its increase in membership would seem to indicate, as
the additions, as well as most of the original membership, was due to
the desire to study English.
I have devoted a good deal of time and strength to this matter, and
am now quite hopeful that some substantial members ^^^ll be added to
the Church as a result, for a number of the members of the associa-
tion have become inquirers.
]n the street-chapel jireaching has been carried on, and large
audiences have listened quietly and respectfully to the doc-
trines, such as teaching about the Cross of Christ, which formerly
excited their rage or derision. In the Hiroshima field, as in the
Kyoto, a smaller number of helpers has been used to cover a
larger territory, with happy results. At Mihara, a typical coun-
try town of 10,000 people; at Takehara, 12 miles across the
mountains, a very old town of 7,000 people; at Onomichi, an
outstation of 17,000 people; at Fukuyama, a city of 16,000 peo-
ple; and at Iwakuni, a quiet, unprogressive place of 9,000, the
Gospel has been preached during the year. Much of this section
WESTERN JAPAN — YAMAGUCHI 147
of Japan is sleepy and comatose. Of one inquirer at Onomichi,
the report says :
He is an old Chinese teacher, or rather I should say a teacher of
Chinese, who I should judge is nearly if not quite sixty years of age,
and it is an interesting study to watch his efforts to grasp Christian
ideas. One of the saddest features of missionary Avork among a heathen
people is this lack of power to see spiritual truth and to understand
spiritual language. They are like a shipwrecked mariner on a desert
island, who has forgotten the face of his father, and no longer remem-
bers the language of his native land.
At Iwaknni there are three interesting inquirers, the eldest
over eighty years of age, and the youngest fifty, and a leper.
YAMAGUCHI STATION.
During the year Mr. and Mrs. Curtis returned to the field from
their furlough, and Miss Palmer came at the close of the year
from Kanazawa to assist Miss Bigelow. During the absence of
Mr. Curtis and Mr. Ayres, Dr. Alexander and Mr. Doughty
looked after the evangelistic work and workers. The heavy "cut"
forced the Yamaguchi Church to relinquish all Mission assist-
ance. The pastor is now living on a salary of one-half what he
received heretofore, which he sujjplements by rice received from
an estate of which he is an heir. There have been six additions-
to the Church during the year. The front of the church build-
ing has been arranged with sliding doors, so as to open directly to
the street, and serve as a regular preaching-place and place for
conversations about the Gospel. Among the attendants on the
preaching services have been detachments of students from the
Buddhist Middle School of the Yamaguchi prefecture. Many
baptisms are reported in the large field included in the
Yamaguchi Station, although in many places the people
are slow and conservative. "Wherever the railroads go,"
Mr. Curtis writes, "they seem to be the means of the
furtherance of the Gospel through awakening the people
to break through the crust of indifi'erence." Of the work for
women and children. Miss Bigelow writes:
In Y'amaguehi we find two quite encouraging facts: there is a re-
vival of the desire for education among young women, and young moth-
ers are becoming accessible through the kindergarten. There are open-
ings such as were never known before.
The kindergarten has enrolled 19 pupils, many of good
families, whose mothers often visit the kindergarten, while the
teacher visits their homes.
The Kojo Jo Gakuin (Castle of Light) has enrolled the names of 33
pupils, 14 of whom were Christians. Twenty-six are in attendance now.
of whom 18 are boarders. The dormitories and dining-room are more
than full.
148 WESTERN JAPAN — KANAZAWA.
One pupil was graduated, but continued in the school, taking a post-
graduate course, and assisting in teaching and housekeeping. The Com-
mencement exercises were very successful, the leading men of the town
being among our visitors.
This is the youngest school of the Mission, but we have now reached
the point where we can see results, and v.-e thank God and take courage.
The blessed lights and shadows of this year have each been stronger
than usual, but, on the whole, it has been the best year of the school's
lii story.
KANAZAWA STATION.
In the absence of Mr. and ]\Irs. Winn, the work has fallen
largely on new missionaries. There have been eight baptisms
■during the year in the two Churches, which have been put under
'the care of one preacher. An interesting tour was made over the
field by Messrs. Honda and Uemara, the ablest men in the Metho-
•dist Church and the Church of Christ in Tokyo, under the aus-
pices of the Evangelical Alliance. Kanazawa has about 1,500
istudents in its higher Government schools.
Among these there seems to be a deepening interest in the study of
Christianity. In the highest Government School this year there are
ten Christians, some of whom are zealous believers. There are a num-
ber of students who are showing considerable zeal in studying the Bible.
Also this year, from English Bible classes, there have been gratifying
results. The baptisms are chiefly from those who have been in our school.
While there is no marked change, there seems to be more of a ^^ill-
ingness to investigate Christianity, and students are feeling that their
education is incomplete unless they understand the teachings of the new
religion.
EDUCATIONAL.— The Kanazawa Boys'" School has been dis-
continued by the Mission, but has been taken up by the native
brethren, the Board of Japanese Managers assuming responsi-
bility for it, and the Bible being taught to every student and
Japanese.
G-lrls^ School. — The Kanazawa Girls" School closed the twelfth year
of its history in March of the present year. Three young ladies were
graduated in the Japanese department, but none this year in the Eng-
lish department. The enrolment for the year has been 40, but on ac-
count of sickness, removal and other causes, the number at present is
only 30. The reaction against the higher education of women seems
to have reached its limit, and the tide is again turning in its
favor. A new impetus being given to the study of English in view of
the new treaties, the schools seem gradually regaining their former
popularity, and an increase in numbers may reasonably be expected from
this on. A number of changes have occurred during the year in oiu"
corps of teachers. They are all now, mth the exception of the writing
and sewing teachers, professing Christians, and we sincerely hope it may
be possible in the early future to employ only Christian teachers. Among
the many blessings of the year for Avhich we have to be thankful is the
return, to the school as teachers, of two of our graduates. Having had
the advantage of farther study in the Joshi Gakuin in Tokyo, and sev-
eral years' experience in work in other places, they are especially fitted
now to assume places of trust and responsibility in the school.
WESTERN JAPAN— KANAZAWA. I49
The societies connected with the school have contiibnted ficely this
year to various benevolent objects. A contribution of eight yen wa's sent
to the famine sufferers in India, the girls greatly rejoicing in" the thought
that the amount, small as it seemed to them, -would save the lives of four
persons till the next harvest-time. They have made monthly contribu-
tions to the incidental expenses of the Church, in addition to the regular
subscriptions of those who are members of the Church. They have given
some aid to the poor, and have recently sent a little contribution to a
new Church that is being built in the island of Yezo, the home of a
former pupil.
The success of tlie industrial department in the school continues en-
couraging. Through the kindness of friends on both sides of the sea, we
find a ready sale for all the embroidery the girls can do. We are very
hopeful that in time we may make this department entirely self-support-
ing.
CHILDEEX'S SCHOOL.— Fifty-three children have been
enrolled, three of whom have received baptism during the year.
Miss Porter writes of openings to homes secured through the
school:
Through one little girl's love for this school I have gained an en-
trance and a warm welcome into a home, where until now, the truth was
unknown. PZven the old grandfather, who is about eighty years old,
is willing to read the Bible -when I go to visit them. The attendance
has been confined in the Sunday-school to the children of our day-school
most of the year, because we cannot have any regular attendance from
the pupils of the Government schools since opposition to Christianity has
been so strong in them. Even children from homes where one or both
parents are Christians are greatly influenced by this opposition, and do
not want to be known as attending our Sabbath-school.
.¥rs. Winn's OrpJianor/e. — During the Summer application was made
by the officials of the Kanazawa Prison, asking that the orphans of con-
victs, and children having been imprisoned whose sentences had ex-
pired, be admitted to this home. As there was one vacancy, it Avas de-
cided to allow one child to enter, so that we might be able to make a trial
of such characters, and allow the prison officials to see the result.
On the strength of the kindness shown, the officials promise that
soon we may hold Christian meetings in the prison. One thing seems
apparent — that the Orphanage is a concrete example before the Japan-
ese, showing what Christianity does, and that the impression is con-
stantly deepening their interest in Christianity.
EVENGELISTIC WOEK.— At Toyama, the report states:
The order at the meetings is worthy of remark. Mr. Toda gives, as
the probable explanation, that the mounted police, from the highest
to the lowest, ten men in all, are studying the Bible and English with
him privately. In the Methodist preaching-place they are much disturbed
by noise.
In the city of Toyama, and also Takaoka, there is a great deal of
anti-Christian sentiment. At Daishogi Mr. Noyes and his family have
suft'ered much persecution. First, he could find no one who would sell
him provisions, and he was denied the privilege of getting water at the
public well, unless he went at the dead of night. His children are still
persecuted at school.
In the Women's work, some opposition has been encountered
at Hashigejo Mura. At this place, Mrs. Xaylor writes:
ISO WESTERN JAPAN — FUKUI.
We spent the night with the only Christian family in the place. The
wife, who had but recently been baptized, was already learning what
it meant to sufier for Christ's sake. Returning to her father's home on
a visit, she had been kept there by force, and every possible effort had
been made to compel her to give up her faith. We were glad to learn
afterwards that she had been allowed to return to her husband's home,
and that she had not been persuaded to give up her faith.
FUKUI STATION.
Mr. Fulton sets forth the general popular attitude toward
Christianity on the West Coast:
The mind of the people is much more concerned with other things than
with religion. This fact has been specially noticeable during the past
year. The enlargement of the business interests of the countrj-, the po-
litical situation, internal and external, and the hard times, are among
the causes which have, here as well as elsewhere, robbed the people of
their intrest in religious things. The near approach of mixeu residence
also seems to be constantly in the minds of the people. They expect,
without warrant, as it seems to us, that a great many foreigners will
come into this region to engage in business and manufacturing, since
this is one of the chief silk-producing districts in the countiy. Hence
their minds are occupied in getting ready to meet this state of affairs.
On the one hand, the craze for English has returned with all the fervency
of ten or a dozen years ago. Were the missionary so disposed, he might
spend all his time, from morning to night and from night till morning
almost, in teaching English.
Again the Buddhist priests have taken the alarm, and are exerting
themselves considerably to warn the people against having anything to
do with Christianity, when mixed residence takes place. Loreigners will
come, they say, bringing their religion with them, building Churches
everywhere, and there will be great temptations to neglect their old
faith. This is the substance of a great deal of the preaching that the
priests are doing now, we are told. They are also scattering broadcast
a tract, written along this line by a prominent Buddhist father in Tokyo.
Although the priests have succeeded in stirring up the people in some
places, yet there has been no outbreak of opposition anywhere. A gen-
eral spirit of indifference prevails, and it is difficult to get an audience
of anything but the passers-by. The problem now is to break through
this crust, and create an interest in things moral, spiritual and eternal.
This attitude has naturally affected the work. "A whole year
has passed without a convert. There are at present no applicants
for baptism, and no inquirers who evince any real desire to take
up the Christian life. I do not htink we have had to make such a
statement to the Mission before, since the opening of this Sta-
tion. It is with regret and sorrow and searching of heart that
we make it now. We might offer extenuating circumstances,
but the fact remains."
At the street chapel the attendance is irregular, the audience
being mostly of chance comers, depending upon circumstances
and the weather. Very few can be persuaded to enter, the audi-
ence standing in the entrance, or sitting upon the benches placed
there for their accommodation. At times not more than a dozen
WESTERN JAPAN — FUKUI. 151
or so are present, and again as many as 50 or GO are listening
attentively.
"We also carry on blackboard preaching at this place. A
blackboard is hung out in front, a text written on it, with addi-
tional comments, which a great many persons stop to read in
passing."
Here and there there has been a brighter outlook. At Maru-
oka, "the chapel is situated on the main thoroughfare, and a no-
tice placed out in front for a few hours is sufficient to collect quite
an audience. Here, too, no one will come inside; but we have quite
a large entrance with benches arranged, and besides the whole
front of the house can be taken out, allowing us to face the as-
sembly and preach to ihcm the ^ame as if they were to enter. We
have a few friends like Nicodemus in this place, and some of the
old inquirers before the persecution are beginning to come forth
again. An old man, living about two miles distant, has been at-
tending the services — walking in every time he knows of the
meetings, although he is over seventy years old." Whatever the
outlook, however, there is no discouragement. "To sum up the
work of the year, we feel that although results in the number of
converts are disappointing, yet the Gospel has been preached
widely, and a great many people have heard it — some little, some
more. We or others will reap the fruit of this sowing sometime,
somewhere."

While foreign nations have been striving the past year, with
doubtful advantage, for ascendency in the political affairs of
Korea, the kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ, which makes for
righteousness of character and nobler manhood, has made certain
and significant progress among the Korean jDCople. With hum-
ble gratitude to God does our Mission there recognize the fact
that, though their number has been sorely diminished as against
former years, — several of their most experienced members hav-
ing been absent on furlough, while ill health has curtailed the
efficiency of others, — yet the work of the Spirit of God has not
been diminished in extent or power; on the other hand, His
blessed energy has been the more abundantly manifest. The con-
stant effectiveness of Gospel truth seen in the steady and rapid
increase of believers in Christ, the indubitable marks of a radical
change in the lives of many of these Korean confessors, and their
very obvious growth along the best lines of Christian character,
all bear most refreshing testimony to the abiding power of "the
old, old story of Jesus and His love." The missionary record of
previous years in Korea, as we know, has been remarkable, but
the history of the past year has exceeded that of any former year
in actual results, and this increase seems to have been limited
only by the ability and time of the spiritual husbandmen in pre-

paring the way for the operations of the Holy Spirit, In view of
this rapid growth of the Church in Korea, it is a matter of rejoic-
ing to the Board and the Mission that it became possible to send
•out this year an unusually strong reinforcement of missionaries.
Not only have Mr. Moffett, ]\Ir. and Mrs. Moore, and Miss Doty
returned to their respective Stations reinvigorated in health by
their furlough, but several new missionaries of much promise
have received appointment and joined the Mission. Eev. Cyril
Eoss and Mrs. Eoss have been assigned to Fusan, to take the
place of Eev. J. E, Adams and Mrs. Adams, who have gone to
•open a new Station at Tagoo, an important city some 100 miles
to the north of Fusan. Dr. W. 0. Johnson and Mrs. Johnson are
to be associated with Mr. and Mrs. Adams at Tagoo. Eev. W,
B. Hunt and Miss Margaret Best have been appointed and
assigned to Pyeng Yang. Miss Esther L. Shields and Dr. Eva
-H. Field have received appointment and assignment to Seoul.
Miss E. I. Shields is to take Miss Jacobson's place as trained
nurse in the Hospital. Dr. Mary Alice Fish has been ap-
pointed, but not as yet assigned. The appointment of so many
new missionaries, at a time of so great stringency in the Board's
finances, was only possible through the special contributions of
quite a number of large-hearted men and women in the Church,
who have thus devotedly marked their desire to hasten the
triumph of our Eedemer's kingdom in Korea. Verily, they shall
not lose their reward !
Mr. and Mrs. Baird, who last year were at Seoul, have been
transferred to the northern field, with Pyeng Yang as their
■Station.
Both the Board and the Mission have taken great satisfaction
from the visit of Mr. Speer to Korea. He was able to devote the
month of August last to this Mission, visiting the most of the
Stations, and attending the annual meeting at Seoul a part of
the time. The report made by him, of his observations on the
field, has aided much to a more complete understanding of the
actual conditions of this intensely interesting Mission. Mr. W.
H. Grant, who has been again on a tour among the Missions of
the far east, for personal study. Joined Mr. Speer on his visit to
Korea, and his companionship and assistance were highly appre-
<;iated, as was his presence and counsel by all the missionaries
with whom he came in fellowship.
In reviewing the history of Korean evangelization, we note that,
while in the previous year the northern part of the field about
Pyeng Yang was the centre of the most remarkable development,
■during the past year a most notable growth has been witnessed
in and around Seoul, the national capital. Of Dr. Underwood's
report on this section of the work, which was read at the annual
meeting in August, covering a period of ten months, a veteran
^missionary of another Board, who listened to it, remarked:
KOREA. 155
That in 20 year's experience in China, he had never heard such a thrill-
ing and exhilarating report, and having been with Dr. Underwood on one
long tour, he could vouch that it was well within the actual truth.
Nothing short of a reading of the whole of this paper can give any ad-
equate idea of the strong onward movoinent of the Gospel in almost eveiy
direction under the energizing of God's Spirit.
The Chong Dong Church in the city seems to have been the
principal centre of this evangelistic activit3^ Organized most
systematically for its own edification in spiritual knowledge and
duty, its members steadfast to their Christian principles and stal-
wart in their views and practice of self-support, with a profound
sense of the priceless boon which has come to them in the Gospel
of Jesus Christ, they mean that their light shall not be hid under
any bushel. All around the city, within a diameter of eighty
miles, they are carrying on regular aggressive work. Offshoots of
the Church are springing up in numerous towns and villages, and
these too have caught the admirable spirit of the parent Church,
They are organized into classes for the further acquisition of
Christianity which these fresh converts from heathenism present
wholly at their own expense, and are setting up Christian schools
without even a suggestion from outside. The character of the
Christianity which these fresh converts from heathenism present
to the keen discerning judgment of their neighbors may be in-
ferred from a single incident out of many Avhich might be quoted:
A Korean from a wholly heathen village, passing through the village of
Hai Ju, the first time since the Gospel has begun to bear fruit there,
was astonished at the change in the people, and learning that it was due
to the preaching of the "Jesus Doctrine," he came as an inquirer to Dr.
Underwood, purchased books, and returned home in the hope that his
own village might obtain the same benefits as Hai Ju. Later word came
that 20 houses in that village had accepted the "Jesus doctrine."
The Chang Yun Church has been visited but infrequently by
the missionary, yet it is emulating the Chong Dong Church in its
remarkable activities. Its excellent leader, Elder Saw, with its
deacons and stewards, form a board of direction as energetic as it
is practical. "Christ and His cause seem uppermost in all their
thoughts," and the Church behind them is actuated by the same
principle. It picks out from time to time its best men, and sends
them out as evangelists. It meets all its expenses without any
foreign aid.
At harvest time the most of the members send their tenths to the
authorities of the Church, not waiting to be called upon for them. At
a special collection for the famine in India, these poor farmers and
laborers, some of whom do not earn 20 cents a day, took up a collection
of $56 (Mex.) and 8 rings, which the women had taken from their fingers.
But the most remarkable incident in the history of this or any native
church in Korea is their request to have a foreign missionary of their own,
qualified to organize and direct their work, competent too to instruct
them in practical farming, and supported by themselves, with such aid as
might come from the farms which they would place at his disposal.
156 KOREA.
Dr. Underwood mentions the district of Chung Ju as present-
ing, perhaps, the most "wonderful opening of any. In four of its
villages nearly all the heathen idols have been destroyed, and the
people have been organized into classes for the Aveekly study of
the Bible and for prayer. A leading magistrate in the district is
an applicant for admission into the Church. In the district of
Whang Hai Do, the governor, though not a Christian, warmly
applauds the beneficent results of Christian teaching, and is
collecting the funds formerly set apart for Confucian schools to
organize a Christian school under the exclusive management of
the Christian Church. This is a field chiefly cultivated by the
Chong Dong Church. In fact, so popular has the Jesus doctrine
become that base-minded men have assumed the Christian name,
pretended to have the authority of the missionaries, and counter-
feiting Christian rites and practices have palmed themselves off
on magistrates and people for the raising of funds for them-
selves.
During Dr. Underwood's iteneration in the ten months reported
upon, he received into the Church 143 new communicants and
enrolled 473 catechumens. Great care is practiced in the recep-
tion of members. The examination of less than 100 applicants
for admission to the Chong Dong Church consumed almost daily
afternoon meetings, lasting at least four hours each, for almost
three weeks.
Very sweet and tender are the testimonies reported from these
simple, ignorant mountain farmers to the power of Jesus' love
in their lives, while their strong faith in God would often put to
the blush the faith of many disciples with larger experience.
Leaving now this southern section of the field, and going up
to Pyeng Yang in the north, we find no abatement there in the
wonderful growth of the Christian faith which attracted such
attention last year. During Mr. Molfett's absence, Mr. Lee has
had the principal oversight of the field, though Mr. '\Miittemore
is getting on well with the language, so as to be able to render
effective assistance. Messrs. Miller and Baird have visited the
district at times and helped meet the urgent demands on mis-
sionary time and strength. Mr. Baird has since been transferred
permanently to Pyeng Yang.
From Mr. Lee's report we learn that the Church at Pyeng
Yang has so outgrown its frequently enlarged building that it
has been compelled to hold services for the women in a separate
building. This is but a temporary arrangement until they are
able to build a Church large enough to accommodate them all.
There are five separate Sabbath-school centres in the city, but
all gather together for general services on Sunda^^, which is con-
sidered eminently important for the solidifying of the Church
into one and the promotion of unity and good fellowship. This
church has paid all its own expenses in building, repairs and
KOREA. 157
evangelistic and school-work, besides employing an evangelist
for outside work and aiding other smaller churches in the coun-
try in church-buildiiig.
The country work, which year by year assumes larger and
larger proportions, is divided for convenience into five large cir-
cuits. In one of these, whore last year there was but one locality
in which Christians met for worship, there are now seven. In the
Whang Hai circuit, where last year there were six places of meet-
ing, there are now thirty-one. Mr. Lee on his last tour aiming
chiefly to visit the new centres of light, could not reach them
all. He writes:
The needs of this portion of our field average very great. Tlie people
are very ignorant, but they are simply hungry for instruction in spiritual
things. The seed-sowing which has yielded such a wonderful harvest has
been done principally by two men, Han Chi Sun and Kim Paik Yung.
These men receive no money from the Mission or the churches. They
support themselves, and seem to preach from the very love of it.
Of another circuit, which Mr. Lee had been able to visit but
once, he says:
This district has also received a rich blessing. There are now seven
church buildings and ten other places where there are small groups of
believers. These people gave, this year, 147 yen towards self-support.
Of the Eui Ju circuit, we condense the following facts from
Mr. Baird's report of visits made by him and Mr. Whitemore.
Though for three years previous not favored with a missionary
visit, it has been visited almost every month by the native evan-
gelist, Mr. Yang. He has much alpine-climbing in his circuit,
but his zeal and self-denying labors have been richly blessed.
Seventy-four candidates were examined, 20 were baptised, and
31 received as catechumens. Says Mr. Baircl:
The throA^ing aAvay of objects of idolatrous worship, and the joyful
turning to the worhsip of the One true God ; the readiness with which they
bought and read Christian books; frequent signs of experimental knowl-
edge of Christ, of prayer, of brotherly love, made me rejoice in the
evidence of the Holy Spirit's work. . . . Paik, the native Christian
doctor, who by his self-sacrificing eiYorts in the cholera year, was the
means of favorably disposing his neighbors to Christianity; the little
thirteen-year old boy, sufifering with a deformed spine, and not far from
death, v\-ho had been the means of leading his whole famih' to Christ,
crying to be brought for the first time to see the missionary, and seem-
ingly never so happy as Avhen listening to the Gospel, saying he was not
afraid to die because his Saviour had died for him, and would receive him
into heaA^en; Mrs. Ok, the white-haired old lady, leader in the group of
believing women, telling us as clearly and as intelligently, and as feelingly
of her belief in the Saviour as if she had been the daughter of generations
of believing parents; the Kim family at Wi Wein in their poverty enter-
taining the missionaries and their whole party, and bmang a small library
of Christian books for circulation among their neighbors. . . . These
are among the signs that the Eui Ju circuit is open and calling for the
light, and that the Holy Spirit is working upon the people.
158 KOREA.
Mr. Baird is enthusiastic as to his observations on the Pyeng
Yang field. He writes:
During all my stay in Korea, I have never heard from Koreans so
much pure and simple talk about sin, salvation and Christ as the only
Saviour as during my few weeks in the Pyeng Yang field.
To this we add the testimony of Mr. Speer:
In the north, the Church has spread and penetrated as we saw nothing
to surpass anywhere else in the world. The churches are crowded. The
opportunities are unlimited.
During the year 173 were baptized, many more were appH-
cants, but Mr. Lee was simply unable to get the time to examine
them.. The total church membership now foots up 377, while
the number of catechumens enrolled is 1,723, making a total of
3,100 in connection with the Church.
The work at Gensan has been maintained by Mr. and Mrs.
Swallen during the absence of Mr. and Mrs. Gale on their fur-
lough. Quite a little energy has been manifested by the Church
in the way of contributions, defraying all the incidental expenses
of church and school as well as the teachers' salary. There was
necessity for considerable discipline among the church members,
which seems to have brought a blessing to nearly the whole
church. Twenty adults were baptized and 15 catechumens en-
rolled. Mr. Swallen reports two itinerating trips to.HamHyung,
a large city of 40,000 people. In the first instance he met little
to encourage, but five months later he was visited by many in-
quirers, and saw many signs of promise that it might open up
under proper culture like Pyeng Yang.
At Fusan, while ]\Ir. Adams has been getting ready to occupy
Tagoo, there has been more or less interruption in the cultivation
of the church. There have been but two baptisms and but seven
catechumens received, though a number of others are awaiting
examination. The church members are only seven in number,
but are commcmded for their active labors among their neighbors.
But the population is a difficult class on which to make an im-
pression.
The new Station Tagoo gives much promise as a centre for
evangelistic effort, and for a strong local Church.
There now are in the whole field 101 places where regular
preaching services are conducted on the Sabbath. The total
number of communicants is 932, of whom 347 were added the
past ten months. The native contributions during this period
amounted to $971 (Mex.), making an average of about one dollar
silver per member.
WOMAN'S WORK. — Mrs. Underwood has accompanied Dr.
Underwood on some of his itinerating trips, and she gives in her
report some interesting glimpses into the way in which the
KOREA. 159
Korean women are welcoming the Gospel. At Chung Yun from
20 to 30 were present every afternoon at the Bible-meeting, dur-
ing our three weeks' stay, some coming through sleet and snow
and mud.
More attentive, eager, earnest listeners I never met. Tears came to
their ej'es, and their faces brightened with delight as they grasped the
clear sense of one precious passage and another. One exclaimed that she-
became a Christian for the sake of the hereafter, but she never knew
Christianity was so good for this life too.
As to her stated meetings with the women of the Chong Dong
Church, Mrs. Underwod relates that they, year by year, grow
more and more in interest. The numbers in attendance, their
intelligence in spiritual things, and the marks of their experi-
mental knowledge of Christian truth steadily increase. Thes&
women are very active in winning their neighbors from their
idols to faith in Christ. No woman in connection with the
Chong Dong Church receives any pay for church-work in any
of its branches. With or without a suggestion from the mis-
sionary, they are very ready to visit the sick or to pray with those
so needing. This principle of not paying Christian women for
work done in enlightening their neighbors and bringing them to
Christ is likely to become the established policy of the whole
Mission.
Miss Strong has found much satisfaction in her labors in Seoul
Mith the Kong Tang Kol Church, and in frequent intineration
into the country. The church is small in numbers and from
widely separate parts of the city, and therefore not so thoroughly
under the best influences. But some cases of strong character
among the women recently baptized are mentioned. In the coun-
try she encountered a most cordial reception in many places, but
in others opposition had chilled the interest of former friends,
especially where spirit-worship prevailed. At Fusan Mrs. Irwin
and Mrs. Adams, assisted by Miss Chase, have maintained regular
services for the women, which have been fairly well attended,
and besides have made great numbers of calls at the homes of the
mothers who had children in school. But the women of Fusan,
like the men, are as yet less susceptible to spiritual impressions
than ihose of some other parts of Korea. At Gensan some of the
^vomen of the church have suffered persecution, but Mrs. Swallen
has been encouraged by the simple, child-like faith of the stead-
fast ones.
Mrs. Lee is encouraged at Pyeng Yang by the increasing num-
ber of women who have learned to read, and the large attendance
of women on the Sunday and Wednesday prayer-meetings,
averaging from 75 to 100. The attendance at the women's
church, mentioned on a former page, averages some 175. Mrs.
Lee and Mrs. Wells, among their many visits to Korean homes.
l6o KOREA.
have on several occasions been present by invitation where women
have formally abandoned their devil-worship.
EDUCATIONAL WOEK.— The Korean Mission is wrestling
with the various educational problems incidental to the early
stages of Mission work. In the uncertainty as to the real needs
of the people, and the best methods for meeting their actual
wants, they are proceeding cautiously, not committing themselves
to a definite policy. This is made the more easy to them by
reason of the urgent demands for the direct preaching of the
Gospel. The Boys' School at Seoul was under the care of Messrs.
jMiller and Baird the past year. Thirty-five pupils were in attend-
ance on the average, ten of whom united with the church. But
the conditions at the capital are not the most favorable for such
a school; neither is there yet a demand among the Korean Chris-
tians for a higher grade of education, so the school has been
closed for the present. The Biblical training classes for leaders
in the work, both at Seoul and Pyeng Yang, have been very
encouraging, and their importance becomes more and more
evident. They have been attended by men and women, and even
children, eager to get instruction in the Bible truth. The ex-
pense of entertaining these classes has been partially met by the
native Christians. A training class for teachers, under Messrs.
Baird and Miller, proved very useful.
1"he Girl's School at Seoul has been under the supervision of
Miss Wambold during Mrs. Gifford's absence. Forty-two were
enrolled, of whom 18 were from Christian families and six from
families of adherents. Here too the Mission is applying its
principles of self-suport in initial ways. There are girls' schools,
small in numbers as yet, in Gensan and Fusan, their aim being
the giving of simple Christian instruction. At Pyeng Yang there
have been four boys' schools, with an aggregate attendance of 56,
about half the teachers' salaries is provided by the scholars'
parents. There is also a day-school for girls at Pyeng Yang, with
an average attendance of 14. A boys' school at Fusan has largely
been under the care of Mrs. Adams, as Mr. Adams has been so
much of the time absent at Tugoo.
MEDICAL WOEK. — There has been no abatement of the good
work done at the several hospitals and dispensaries of our Mis-
sion, but rather a very large increase of patients has pressed on
the attention of our physicians. Dr. Avison reports an increase
of 75 per cent, in the attendance at the dispensary in Seoul, and
50 per cent, increase of in-patients over the preceding year.
There has also been a much larger number in attendance at the
Walder dispensary under Dr. Vinton's care. The hospital at
Fusan, under Dr. Irwin's superintendence, and that at Pyeng
Yang under Dr. Wells, send gratifying reports of the numbers
KOREA. l6l
who have received relief tc their bodily ailments. All of these
institutions are pushing their way to a position independent of
Mission funds, as fast probably as can reasonably be expected.
The most satisfactory of anything is the fact that so much direct
evangelistic work is done in connection with the skillful minister-
ing to the bodily wants of the patients. It is not all medical
missionary institutions that report so emphatically of daily relig-
ious services morning and evening, weekly pra3'er-meetings beside
Sunday services, and much private teaching of the way of life
from both missionaries and native Christians. The evangelistic
spirit which so eminently pervades the Korean Mission, stimu-
lated as it must be by the eager desire for religious instrviction, on
the part of the natives, seems to govern the medical workers in
all their aims and methods. In this light, this department
promises to be an exceptionally strong one in the advancing of
the Church of Christ in the land.
Considerable itineration has been done by the physicians of the
several Stations, of decided advantage to the cause; and it is
probable that this line of service will be pushed still more in the
future. Dr. Georgiana Whiting became so much impressed with
the openings for medical work among the country v,^omen, and
was so touched by their craving for Christian instruction, that
she has obtained the consent of the Mission to devote her prin-
cipal energies to this form of work.
A medical class of seven has been under instruction at Seoul, with
encouraging results so far. Part of the students bear their own expenses.
Hereafter all new students in medicine will be expected to support them-
selves.
LITEEARY AND PUBLICATION WORK.— Dr. Under-
v,-ood has continued his labors in Bible translation as a member of
the Board of translators appointed by the different Missions in
Korea. The fourth edition of the Korean hymn-book, and the
regular Sunday-school lesson papers have been issued from the
press. Altogether 1,049,500 pages have been printed. A small
weekly newspaper, with Dr. Underwood and Dr. Vinton as joint
editors, called "The Christian News," was started during the year,
which has proved very popular alread}^ It is printed in the
English and Korean languages. It ente.rs the palace of the king,
and the homes of a large number of non-Christians. The Korean
government itself ordered 467 copies of the paper for its magis-
trates and others. As it gives much prominence to the truth of
Christ and the aims of Christian Missions, it promises to exert a-
favorable influence for Christianity wherever it goes. Already
conversions to faith in Christ are reported directly from reading-
of this paper.

SAN LUIS POTOSI.
Large additions were reported for 1896. This year the number is
much smaller, owing partly to the fact that less work has been done,
but rather to the fact that in the former year many were quite ready
to become Christians as soon as the Gospel was preached to them, while
those who have been reached later still lack the necessary instruction and
■experience. In nearly all the congregations there are a number of in-
quirers, and a steady interest on the part of the members. Temporal
prosperity is returning to the country, owing to an abundant harvest,
and shows itself in a heartier supporL of the Churches on the part of the
natives.
In the San Luis Church there is an average attendance on
"Sunday of 80, and on Wednesday evening of 60. The day-
school, with 30 children, is carried on by a graduate of the Sal-
tillo Girls' School, while Mrs. Williams' class for women has an
•average attendance of 30. The Church pays one-fifth of the

pastor's salary, and part of the day-school teacher's salary and
the running expenses.
A feast of thank ofTerings was held in October, the collection, amount-
ing to $52.50; being sent to Monclova to help the brethren there in
the building of a chapel. Eleven members of the Endeavor Society at-
tended the Saltillo Convention, bringing back deepened interest and
larger enthusiasm for the work. Eighteen members were received into
the Church on profession of faith.
The country work in the two States of San Luis and Hidalgo
is widely scattered. At Eayon many gather about the door of
the church, who are afraid to enter, and many are willing to
read tracts Crowds come to hear the Gospel preached by Mr.
Williams and Mr. Sample by means of the magic-lantern on
their itinerating tours.
TLALTENANGO
Tlaltenango is an agricultural town, the county-seat, with a
small congregation of 25, which contributed during the year an
average of six dollars per member. At Eancho de Dios, the peo-
ple are building a chapel at their own expense. At Jesus Ma-
ria, Mr. Stewart reports the loss of a godly Mexican woman, who,
in the absence of any minister or preacher, was accustomed to
lead the congregation in its worship and to succor the poor with
her wealth, and give them medicine in their need. As to the
attempt to introduce self-support, Mr. Stewart writes:
I have noticed that the idea of paying a quota has discouraged a
good number, who seem to looK at the matter of self-support as a step
back to Romanism; and it will need some time to get them to look at it
in its true light, both on account of the reaction from Romanism as well
as from being taught wrong on the subject from the beginning.
SALTILLO.
Mr. Wallace writes of the general conditions of the two States
of Nuevo Leon and Coahuila:
The country is being steadily settled up by the people from the in-
terior, and the census 01 1S95 shows a population of some 250,000, being
an increase of 00,000 in the last ten years. Americans are coming in
constantly. Of the 1,500 foreigners in Coahuila, two-thirds are Ameri-
cans.
The public school system is being pushed vigorously. In Coahuila
there are over 125 day-schools for both sexes, and out of 200,000 inhabi-
tants over six years of age, 50,000 can read or write.
For the 250,000 inhabitants of Coahuila (census of 1895) there were
only 49 ecclesiastics, and of these only 29 are priests. They have only
80 places of worship, counting parish churches and chapels, and reported
only four parish schools.
The Baptist and Methodist Church societies co-operate with the Pres-
byterians in the evangelization of this field. Our numbers (a generous
estimate of church membership is 5,000) are few, but we (Protestant)
MEXICO — ZITACUARO 165
can report some 20 places of worship to the Koraan Catholic 80. We
have three schools for higher education, 12 ordained ministers and four
day-schools.
Four graduates of the new State Normal School, two of whom are
Presbyterians, have been sent to Bridgowater, Mass., and supported by
the government, under the care of J\Ir. Osuna, a most talented i>iexican
minister of the Methodist Cliurch. These four, on their return, are ex-
pected to make the Coahuila Normal School, the best of its kind.
Two aunts of Governor Cardenas are evangelical Christians, and the
Governor last .July put llie Saltillo Theatre at the disposal of the Second
National Convention of INlexico's Christian Endeavorers.
Under the plan of self-support, requiring churches calling a pastor to
contribute 20 per cent, of the salary, five of our seven organized churches
have extended calls.
Six graduates of our Presbyterian Normal School conduct day-schools
at different points, and as Sunday-school teachers, Christian Endeavor
organizers, etc., make able lieutenants for our pastors and evangelists.
At El Oro the native worker supports himself b}^ assaying,
and looks after the congregation.
GIRLS' BOARDIXG-SCHOOL.— Forty-nine boarders were
enrolled during the year, and 32 day-pupils. On November
10th, 12 girls were graduated. The school now has 16 gradu-
ates employed as teachers — two by the Cumberland Presbyterian
Mission in Aguascalientes, two by Congregational Boarding-
school in Chihuahua, one by the Southern Presbyterian Mission
in Laredo, and the rest by our own Mission. Of the 49 boarders,
43 are members of our Church.
The girls formed a sewing society early in the year, and by their work
paid for delegates to the Christian Endeavor Convention $17.00, and
music for the Convention $12.00; for the support of their pastor, $15.00,
and for special collections, $3.00. The balance, $133.00, was expended
in books for the school library.
In July the music class was invited to take part with the State
Normal School in a concert for the benefit of one of the professors of that
school, whose health had failed. This gave our school a recognition it
had never before received from the public.
We have lately been asked to participate, with other schools, in tLe
celebration of the Governor's inauguration.
ZITACUARO.
The District of Zitacuaro is the most easterly of the fifteen
districts or counties into which the State of Michoacan is
divided. Its population is about 65,000. Zitacuaro, the chief
city, has about 8,000 inhabitants. In May of this year, the rail-
road which has been building for several years, reached the city,
and was opened for traffic, thus bringing the place within a
day's journey of the City of Mexico.
Mr. Vanderbilt, who has been in charge of the northern part
of the field, writes:

In many respects the situation lias been very discouraging. For, in
addition to the lack of workers and to our unfamiliarity with the lan-
guage, customs and characteristics of the people (having been in the-
country but eight and one-half months before being placed in charge),
there has been an unceasing opposition to our work, directly and indi-
rectly, which is one of the unfortunate results of the "change of policy."
The Zitacuaro Church is truly self-supporting, both religiously and
financially. Five of the eight additions in this district are credited to
this Church. In addition to paying all of its own bills, it has contrib-
uted $18.00 to the JNIexican Board of Home Missions.
During the seven months, I have been away from home 69 days, have
traveled 1,455 miles on horseback, attended 167 services and preached
78 sermons.
Mr. Campbell, who has had charge of the sonthern part of the
field, reports that four of the six congregations regard them-
selves as independent, because the Mission does not give them a
paid minister; but they receive the missionary cordially, and ac-
cept his suggestions and help.
La Huerta de Belen, "the garden of Bethlehem,'' is the newest of these
congregations. It is composed entirely of Indians of the Aztec race. The-
Gospel first entered there by means of some leaves of the A^ew I'esta-
ment, which one of them found some nineteen years ago. Two years ag»
the Gospel was first preached there openly, and now they count 40 ad-
herents, of whom but two are baptized. The leader was deserted by his
wife and daughters as soon as he became a Christian.
In one of the Romish chapels near is an image of San Antonio, sup-
posed to be able to bring back strayed and stolen cattle and horses and
men. It is tied, hand and foot, Avith a lasso by the person interested,,
and this woman has had it tied this year, in order that her husband may
be brought back to the true (?) Chuich and to her. The children and
young people of this congregation have made great progress. They now
sing a large number of hymns from memory, and a year ago they did not
know one. The brethren are carrying on an active campaign in the
neighboring village of Tlapehuala.
At Los Placeres del Oro, three years ago, they plotted to kill
the native evangelist, and this year they invited him to deliver
the oration on Independence Day. In March a most successful
Bible convention was held. About thirty attended from other
congregations, and all were greatly profited. The brethren are
enthusiastically preparing to hold another in Ajuchitlan early
in January.
From here to the coast, about six days' journey, the Gospel has been
preached in all the villages along the road. Bibles have been sold and
tracts distributed, and in nearly every village there are some who are
accepting the Gospel. In the port of Sihuatanejo, a man would not let
us hold religious service in his house, but said we mignt show the views
of the life of Christ. This we did, and sold five Bibles as a result.
Mr. Campbell has traveled, during the year, about 19,000
miles on horseback and 700 on rail, having been away from
home about 170 days.
MEXICO — MEXICO CITY AND STATE. 167
MEXICO CITY AND STATE.
Mexico City has a population of about 350,000. The western
and central part of the city, from Plaza down Plateros Street,
past the Almeda, along the Paseo, and in certain "colonies"
where the wealthy live, is largely modernized and finely built.
Our Mission halls and schools are mainly in the eastern and
northern wards of the city, made up largely of low, damp tene-
ment houses, where the poor live.
\Vhen the Board's cut made it necessary for the Mission to discontinue
the rent of two preaching-halls, the native Church met the new demand
by securing a cheaper hall in one ward, paying all the rent in another,
and nearly half of a third. In spite of reduced resources from loss of
members through death or removal, and the financial difficulties of others,
partly due to Sabbath observance and petty persecution, they have done
nobly, raising in all, about $1,100. In 1898 it will, however, be necessary
to close one nail and three of tiie day-schools for lack of funds. We iiope
this reduction will only be temporary. Mr. Morales has continued his
labors as evangelist, visiting Saltillo at the time of the Christian En-
deavor Convention, Laredo, Texas, and Guadalajara. Over 60,000 tracts
have been distributed in the city.
THE PEESS.— Under Mr. Brown's direction, the Press has
continued the publication of "El Faro." With an issue of 1,500
copies twice a month, the "El Faro" begins its fourteenth year
in 1898. Four thousand three hundred monthly Sunday-school
Lesson Helps have been issued, and 1,700 illustrated Sunday-
school cards.
xhe "Supplement of Sermons" and "Life of Christ" was continued till
the end of June, when an edition of 1,000 copies printed on better paper
was bound and offered for sale in pamphlet form. We also printed, in
book-form. Rev. H. B. Pratt's translation into Spanish of lorrey's "How
to Bring Men to Christ," and "The Presbyterian System," by Dr. Williant
H. Pioberts, Mr. Arellano, translator. A number of tracts have been
printed and put into circulation. Pages printed in 1897 were 2,294,447.
We desire to express our appreciation of the help given in securing
engravings by the American Tract Society, and our Boards of Missions
and Publication.
GIELS' SCHOOL. — Until the graduating exercises on No-
vember 30th, the school was in charge of Mrs. Brown and Miss
Fleming. Thereafter Miss Browning and Miss McDermid, hav-
ing arrived, were made responsible for this work. Thirty board-
ers were enrolled during the year, and 19 day-pupils. The
graduating class consisted of 19 girls, all members of the Church.
Eight of these girls are engaged in active Christian work, helping Mr.
Morales in the Sabbath-schools and Christian Endeavor societies of the
city. The Christian Endeavor Society of the school has grown in inter-
est; all the graduates are members of it. The "Helping-hand" Society,
by the sale of drawn work made by the members, raised about $63.00,
of which sum $12.00 was given toward the salary of Mr. Morales, whose
Church the scholars attended; $12.00 more to the Mexican Home Mission
Board, and $17.00 toward a fund for a school library, which is very much
needed.
l68 MEXICO— MEXICO CITY AND STATE.
Mrs. Brown reports an interesting "Banking System" in the
school:
We followed the example of the Saltillo School for a banking system.
Eficli boarder made for herself a little unbleached muslin-bag, and marked
it in red cotton with her initials; a drawstring kept it closed. A small
book was given to each, and she came to Miss Fleming for help to make
out her account.
Miss Fleming kept, in a locked drawer, all of the bags and books. A
girl received a sum from her home, the amount went into the proper page
in the little book, and the money into the bag. Something was needed -
a pair of shoes, a calico waist, a new hair ribbon. The girl, with Miss
Fleming, would first estimate the cost and considt her bag, to see if it
held enough for the purchase. If not, the girl would often have to wait
to write home for more.
Work in the State of Mexico, outside of the city, has been
under the superintendence of Mr. Brown.
In Tepecoculco, Mr. Jorge Toledano, formerly in charge of the Mission
School, although now at the head of the village public school, still contin-
ues to hold services in our chapel and fi'ee of charge.
Tuloca is the capital of the State of Mexico, and is surrounded by
a fertile, populous valley, in which are numerous Indian villages of con-
siderable size. It is a stronghold of Roman Catholicism. Several Mexi-
can preachers who have turned to secular callings reside there. In spite
of all drawbacks, our Mission has been as successful as any other. The
first converts were given the impression that a free Gospel meant free-
dom from all contributions. This influence still exists, and makes it hard
to secure support for native workers. About $70.00 was raised in T^luca
this year.
The magic-lantern, donated to the Mission by Mr. William Henry
Grant, has drawn crowded houses to hear 'the story of the Life of Christ,
many entering for the first time a Protestant house of worship.
MEXICAN HOME MISSION BOAED.— This Board was
organized, in 1890, by the Presbj^tery of Mexico. All its ex-
penses are met by the native churches. Its total expenses for
1897 were $821.70 (Mex.), and there was a balance at the end
of the year of $346.97.
Funds are raised by stated collections and annual offering feasts
These latter are prepared for months beforeliand, and the amounts given
often represent great personal sacrifice and self-denial.
FEDERAL DISTRICT.— At Tizapan, a factory town, Tlai-
pan and Maxcanu, Mr. j\Iillar superintends the work. At' the
last place the elders from the Church in Mexico City hold serv-
ices, w^hich were formerly in charge of the Episcopalians, whose
missionary asked our own Mission to take charge of the field.
Under Mr. Millar the Bible Training-school, which was closed
in December, 1893, was re-opened in July, 1897.
Its object is to train young men for the work of the ministry in our
own Church in Mexico. The Bible, Catechism and theological studies,
together with secular branches, such as every minister should pursue.
are taught. The school is located five miles from Mexico City, in
Coyoacan.
MEXICO — YUCATAN, TABASCO, VERA CRUZ. 169
YUCATAN.
At Merida Mr. Millar reports a church membership of 83, and
good interest, and a large Sunday-school; thousands of tracts
«listributed and many Bibles sold; good pastoral work done by
Eev, Alfonso Herrera; active Women's Society; Young Men's
Society for Bible Study; Juvenile Y. P. S. C. E. A new
church building is needed to accommodate the growing congre-
gation. A collection for this object is taken every month, and
already several hundred dollars are raised. The collections for
Mexican home missions have been better this year than ever be-
fore. Twenty dollars a month has been paid by congregation
on pastor's salary.
Mr. Herrera also has a Station at Maxcanu, 40 miles southwest
of Merida, on the railroad.
TABASCO AND VERA CRUZ.
Mr. Boyce, "who lives at Jalapa, reports six points of work in
the State of Tabasco. Itineration among them is not without
its trials.
In the interior the roads are impassable — for a Mexican — a good part
of the year, and I confess it tries Anglo-Saxon grit and pluck to travel
them at present. I have liad an experience of it during the four weeks
I have been in this State, and I have thought sometimes that it may be
a mistake that we did not leave this State to the Baptists; for verily
"there is much water" here. I have had to swim my horse times out of
number, and often rode 300 yards with my heels on my horse's neck,
clinging to the saddle horn to balance myself, as the water was within
three inches of my saddle; while the mud between streams was awful
to contemplate.
At Jalapa there has been a large influx of foreigners in con-
nection with an electric-light plant in Jico, and large coffee de-
velopments in surrounding country. Xortheast of Tlacolulan,
a new territory is being opened up by some of our families mov-
ing out into the mountain districts. At Vera Cruz Mr. Boyce
writes:
Our present membership is 90. Collections during the year were
$277.00. Attendance was good, and the interest is growing. The people
have a good lot for building a church, and about $400.00 in cash. This
is, by all odds, the most aggressive congregation of the district.
Mr. Boyce has visited the entire work twice, with the excep-
tion of Pantano, traveling about 250 leagues on horseback, and
crossing the Gulf four times, besides travel in river steamers and
canoes. He has also preached a number of times in English in
Vera Cruz, and has been able to arrange for a regular English
service, conducted in his absence by Mr. Vandercoot of the Eng-
lish Consulate in that city.
lyo MEXICO — GUERRERO.
GUERRERO.
Guerrero borders on the Pacific. Its chief port is Acapulco.
Area, 22,863 square miles. Population, 439,000. The inhab-
itants distinguish three belts of country: The Tierra Caliente,
low valleys and plains, intersected by many rivers; the Sierra
Madre, ranging in height from 3,000 to 12,000 feet, covered by
forests of pine, oak and cedar; the Costa, a plain varying in
width from five to 40 miles, crossed by many rivers, and with a
shore line of high cliffs and sandy beaches. The chief industries
of the State are corn-planting, cattle-raising, sugar-making,
mining of gold, silver and mercury, timber-cutting, tobacco and
cotton growing, salt-digging, manufactures of cotton cloth and
export of hard woods, hides and tropical wood. The population
is predominantl}'' of Indian blood, with a goodly sprinkling of
Spanish, negro and other foreign races on the coast. Mr. John-
son reports 12 organized churches, and adds:
The Church at Zumpango, under the lead of Elder Lauro Adame, can-
not make progress until the quarreling between the elders' families
comes to an end. In Xochipala, an Indian village, the elders under the
lead of Maximino Anaya, the cacique of the village, have taken com-
plete charge of the work, and the year has proved a prosperous one.
High up among the pines of the Sierra is La Reforma, a strong Church in
a district peopled mostly by Protestants. Apolonio C. Vazquez is the
licentiate in charge. Speaking both Aztec and Spanish, he has sho-\vn a
most commendable activity in the work. Xicolas E. Guevara has
charge of the churches in Ahuacatitlan, Yotoapa, Zapuapa and Hauchi.
He has done much in the way of educating workers, and his itineration
has led him into many towns where the Gospel is a new thing. He uses
a "Gospel picture peep-show," to attract attention.
Groups for Bible study have been formed in these places. The
first Bible convention, with an attendance of 80, has been held.
Eight of the organized churches own their own property. About
811 persons out of 439,000 are now under direct Protestant in-
fluence. About 100 out of the 1,329 cities, towns and villages
in the State have as yet been reached.
Mr. Johnson concludes his report as follows:
I should say that the chief obstacles to our work are — (1) The con-
servative government, which favors the Romanists in every way. It
violates, as far as it can, the laws of the Reform. There are signs, how-
ever, that a change is meditated, and that the Liberal party, the real
life of the State, will once more get into power. This change mil take
place when the railroad reaches Iguala in April next. (2) The Roman
Catholic opposition is exceedingly subtle. Most of the priests are Jesuits,
and employ all the known artifices of that order. The opposition often
com.es, from unoxjiected quarters, in most unexpected ways. (3) The
distance to be traveled is also formidable in its way. The mode of com-
munication is by horseback entirely. True, the railway is advancing
slowly, and by April communication will be opened with Mexico City
from Iguala. It will take over a year to reach the Balsas river, and if
it arrives at Chilpancingo by 1902, it will be doing the unexpected. Thus
MEXICO — ZACATECAS. I7I
the horse remains our main reliance as a means of locomotion. There is
no special hardship in this, especially if the animal is a good one and you
are used to it. Time, however, is expended. To journey to Ometepec
and back, the confines of lue State with Oaxaca, means a ride of 700
miles. To reach San Luis and return to Chilpancingo means about
500 miles. To go to Tuxpan, taking in Aiiuacatitlan and Tasco, means
400 miles, traversed before returning to Chilpancingo. To visit every
point in the field requires six weeks' steady traveling, stopping only one
night in each place, and resting on Sunday, and 1,000 miles journeying
on horseback. Hence, with one missionary, progress will be rather slow.
The balance, between his health and strength, and the greatest amount
of work must be struck. He must be content to do a large amount of
his work by Bible conventions, training leaders at his headquarters,
and working through the native men. But since it is a life-work, we may
hope, with God's blessing, to bring the glad tidings into all the neglected
towns, and unto every one of the 400,000 inhabitants of the State. "Be-
hold, I come quickly! Even so come Lord Jesus!"
ZACATECAS.
There are eighteen congregations, ten preaching points, and
four or five other places of work in the States of Zacatecas, Du-
rango and Coahuila. In this field the distance from the extreme
point south in Zacatecas to the extreme point north in Coahuila,
where we have work, is ahout 400 miles. More than half the
congregations can be reached by railroad. The others are greatly
scattered, and a great deal of time and many miles of travel by
private conveyance are required to reach them.
The members in Zacatecas churches are, with the exception of
ten or more families, of the middle class — all of them very poor,
day-laborers, miners, servants, water-carriers, etc. — and, owing
to a severe drought during the last five or six years over a great
part of the State, many have been unable to secure work, except
for a portion of the time, and at the lowest wages. During one
year 29 adult members were compelled on this account to leave
the Zacatecas Church, 12 left Villa de Cos, and 10 left Fresnillo,
and other places lost heavily in membership. Those who have
been compelled to leave the State of Zacatecas have gone in
about equal numbers to churches on Laguna field, and to those
of Saltillo field.
The new plan of self-support presented to Presbytery was
most enthusiastically adopted, and all our workers as well as eld-
ers, and many private members, have recognized as never before
their duty and privilege to aid in supporting and extending the
Gospel among their countrymen.
Six Christian Endeavor Societies were organized during the
year, and there are four day-schools.
In two of them, at least one-half or more of the children were
from Eoman Catholic families. Two paid more than half the
salaries of their teachers, and two a little less. In the Laguna
district, where these schools are, two or three teachers for impor-
172

tant places are asked for, and those asking are in great part Ro-
man Catholics. There is a very good prospect that these schools
would he self-supporting or nearly so from the first.
STATISTICS.— The following table will illustrate the gen-
eral condition of the whole field. The number of church-mem-
bers, as compared with five or ten years ago, shows a decrease
apparently; but in reality the work has been solidified and ex-
tended, the apparent decrease being due to a purging of the rolls
and the endeavor to retain on them only names of genuine living
church-members :

In this Country: Rev. J. G. Watson and Mrs. Watson, Mrs. J. L.
Potter.
The Persian government seems to grow worse and worse.
From 1870 to 1890 the course of affairs, with a steady improve-
ment in the way the Christians were treated, grew more tolerable,
and the power of the Shah, who on the whole was a liberal and a
tolerant man, increased at the expense of the ecclesiastics. Since
1890, however, there has been a steady degeneracy, and under
the new Shah not only has civil authority been loosened so that
official rapacity is less checked than ever, but also the ecclesias-
tics have strengthened their hold, and in many cases successfully
asserted their authority as over against the civil power. Mr.
Esselstyn, on returning to the field during the year, wrote back
that the only change he could observe was in the direction of yet
greater wreck and ruin; that the country was more sorrowful
and decrepit even than it had been before. Meanwhile the door
for missionary work seems as wide open as ever, and wherever
the missionaries have gone itinerating they report a more cordial
welcome and more kindly treatment on the part of the iloslems
even than ever before.
TEHERAN STATION.
During the year Mr. Ward, after twenty-one years of faithful
service at Tabriz and Teheran, has been obliged by the health
of Mrs. Ward to withdraw from the work.
CHUECH. — The dreams of the Armenian nationalist move-
ment have affected the spirit of the Armenians in Teheran,
173
i^.mw^ww.m:-^^
EASTERN PERSIA — TEHERAN. 175
among whom is the only organized Church connected with the
Station.
To the Armenians here it seems a burning shame that the long-con-
tinued outrages upon the people of tlicir race and language in Turkey
should have been suffered to go on so long by the Powers of Europe. And
it is perhaps not unnatural that they should cherish a certain feeling of
resentment and soreness toward the Christian nations on this account,
which has had an appreciable effect upon their feelings towai'd the
Mission also.
Though there has been no addition to the Church, the number of in-
quirers during the year has been unusually large; and while the Arme-
nians have seemed quite generally indifferent to religious concerns, inter-
est has been manifested both by Jews and Moslems. A number of the
latter have applied for admission to the Church, but somehow it seems
extremely difficult for the session to find credible evidence of their
Christianity; and indeed, without an intimate knowledge of their con-
duct, it is exceedingly difficult, since it is so deeply inwrovight in the
Persian character that it is lawful to conceal one's views and profess an-
other religion.
There has been likewise a considerable interest manifested by Jewish
inquirers. Here also suspicion is aroused, and one fears that it may
be a desire for protection from persecution (which has recently been
and is still being practiced upon the Jews here to compel their acceptance
of Islam), rather than any genuine conviction of the truth of Christian-
ity. In fact, a paper signed by three of these inquirers and one church-
member, declaring themselves to be Christians, was prepared for this
very purpose, in the hope that, through the friendly offices of the United
States Legation, they might be relieved from molestation now visited
upon the Jews in Teheran.
A few months ago, the project of organizing a separate Persian-speak-
ing Church seemed decidedly hopeful as a considerable number of in-
quirers, both Jews and Moslems, some of tliem professing faith in Christ,
were meeting together for religious service. Unfortunately dissension
arose among them over the choice of a leader, and the ardor of some de-
cidedly cooled; and one, who for several years has earnestly confessed
his faith in Christ, at a meeting of the session renounced his faith in
Christianity, and avowed his belief that all religions were alike, and
that only good works amounted to anything. He afterwards came to
the missionaries and repented of this action, saying that his conscience
had given him no rest since.
The Armenian Church pays all the exjjenses of its own chapel,
and has received only two-fifths of the salary of its pastor from
the Mission. The English service has been more largely attend-
ed than ever before, on account chiefly of the example of Sir
Mortimer Durand, the British Minister, who has taken his stand
as an outsjaoken Christian.
OUTSTATIONS — EVANGELISTIC WORK. — As the
Station had no missionary to locate at Eesht, on the Caspian
Sea, and on account of the severe reduction in the appropria-
tions, it was decided to move the native teacher from Eesht to
Karaghan, a district to the southwest of Teheran, containing
several Armenian villages, where it was expected that the owner
of one of the villages would provide a house for the school and
176 EASTERN PERSIA — TEHERAN.
the teacher. Difficulties, however, were placed in the way by
the authorities of the Gregorian Church in Teheran.
A Christian convert from Islam, driven by persecution from Tabriz,
has occupied the Mission-house at Kasvin most of the year past, and at
times has had many friends and inquirers; but of late some have turned
against him and stirred up persecution, so that he felt that he must
leave Kasvin also (Matt, x: 23).
Miss Bartlett and Miss Dale have moved to Kasvin, where
they have been living in a native house, and working among the
people. Miss Dale writes of the work:
Now we are quite "arranged" for the winter; such repairs as we have
had money to make are finished; such purchases as were necessary, of
wood, thorns, charcoal, for winter fuel, have been made. When I say
"quite arranged," I must make a little exception, which reminds me of
something a Persian carpenter said when I criticised a table he had made
for n:e. "Ladj-, it is qiiite finished; but, if you like, I will finish it
more!" We are quite arranged, but some cracks and gaps in the wood-
work of our doors and windows must be covered with strips of cloth;
then, indeed, we may laugh at these fierce Kasvin winds, as they shriek
out what they would do if they could reach us "unbelievers." . . .
But God, in a very wonderful and beautiful way, opened a "great
and effectual door" for us to work among the Kurds, of whom there
are very many, both in Kasvin and in the adjacent villages. Day by
day the "Word of God" is held up as the Saviour of men to all who
visit us — rich or poor. learned or ignorant, Kurd, Persian, Turk, Eliot.
To them all, in Persian, 'lurkish, or, through a translator, Christ is
preached. There are some of God's "hidden ones" in Kasvin.
During the year Dr. "Wishard visited Eesht and Kasvin. Miss
McCampbell made a long tour with Dr. Wilson of Hamadan,
which is described under the Hamadan Station. Eabi Pera, a
ISTestorian evangelist, with a companion, made a long tour to
Kasvin, Eesht, Enzeli, Gez and Meshed, which last they found,
as all others have, a most fanatical place — probably, as Curzon
declares, " the wickedest city in Asia."
WOEK FOE WOMEN.— As far as possible, this work has
been done during the year through the Women's Christian En-
deavor Society of the Church, by means of which the timid,
faithful women have been helped in their own spiritual lives,
and in their efforts to help others. Mrs. Potter has been untir-
ing in her sympathy with them. In the Jewish quarter. Miss
McCampbell and Mrs. Potter have gone alternately to hold meet-
ings, even though required to pass through insults and much
discomfort. Mrs. Potter writes:
It is, of course, understood that the euort to reach the women of
Islam is unremitting. . . . Frequently they in turn urge us to accept
their faith and be "saved." Some of the arguments to prove the superi-
ority of their religion are not convincing to the Christian — e. g., "Your
men are obliged to keep to one wife only, uowever ugly; but, in our re-
ligion, if a man finds his wife is not handsome, he may send her away and
take another. Is not that much better? Besides, you cannot oe defiled by
EASTERN PERSIA — TEHERAN. I77
contact with us; but if you come into our house, especially on a wet day,
we are at once defiled."
Miss McCampbell has given much time to work for Moslems during
the year, making many calls, and finding often groups of women waiting
for her to read to them. We have also had a. weekly meeting in the
Ali Illahee quarter, which was very interesting and pretty well attended.
On the whole, 1 think we review the year with thankful uearts, feel-
ing that we have advanced a little in almost every direction.
As to the feeling of the Jews toward Christianity, the present
Agent of the London Society for the Propagation of the Gospel
among the Jews says:
That he feels a great difference from the years before when he was
here, in their attitude toward Christianity, and their reception of the
Gospel.
EDUCATIONAL WOEK— IRAN BETHEL.— The school
reopened September 19, 1896, with 35 scholars, and had an aver-
age attendance of from 57 to 60. The school was continued
until the latter part of April, reaching in its work Moslems,
Armenians and Jews. In the matter of reaching Moslems, Te-
heran is in a very different position from Oroomiah and Tabriz,
where the admission of so many Moslem girls into the school
would lead to great trouble. The school had during the year
the same thorough, painstaking work as always; teaching the
girls spotless neatness, and keeping them constantly under the
most appealing Christian iniluences. In May it was decided, on
account of the heavy "cut," to close the school, and Miss Mc-
Campl)ell went oft on her itinerating tour in the Summer, while
Miss Bartlett and Miss Dale opened a Summer school in an Ar-
menian village in the mountains, with 29 pupils, before remov-
ing to Kasvin.
BOYS' SCHOOL.— This school was opened in October, 1887,
with 16 boys. In five years it had grown to 100, and this last
year enrolled 134. Mr. Ward writes:
We have had in attendance this year 70 Moslems, one of whom is an
Afghan and one a negro; 50 Armenians, in spite of the fact that they
have two schools of their o'wn; 13 Jews, and one Fire- worshiper. Five
were in the Scientific course, 68 in the Commercial, 40 in the Primary,
and 20 are in the Kindergarten.
One small boy, who entered the Primary this year, did not know how
to play, did not care to play, and when ordered to play seemed in great
perplexity. He seems to be the perfected result of the Persian attempt
to make old men of boys.
Perhaps no one thing better illustrates the influence that the school
has had upon the character of the boys than the change in regard to
things found in the playground. In Persia, public opinion would not
expect that a man would return to its owner anything found; but daily
almost in our school this is done.
The spiritual life of the school has not been of a very assertive type
this year, but probably has been deeper than any previous year; and I
hope that time may show that at least a half-dozen have made the great,
decision of their lives during the past year.
1 78 EASTERN PERSIA — TEHERAN.
The work of the school has been improved by a pedagogical
course for those engaged in teaching. No financial support of
any kind is now offered to any of the boys, and the school is
making some progress toward self-support. Mr. Ward writes:
In the regular scliool, there has been much more prompt payment of
the dues than ever before. The sum of $2.00 per annum seems a very
small sum to ask any one; but it must be taken into consideration that
ours is the only school that charges any tuition, while the Shah's school
furnishes dinner to all, and clothes to many of its students. We have lost
several students who have gone to the Shah's school; but so far as we
have learned, the cause was the pressure on the part of the parents be-
cause the religious influence of our school was too positively toward
Christianity, or because the Shah's school was a better stepping-stone
to advancement in official life. . . .
In taking leave of the school after ten years of labor, I should not
fail to express my thankfulness to God for this pleasant field of labor,
and the mercies granted to the school and myself. To many of my fel-
low-workers I am grateful for kind words and kind deeds, and trust
that my successor may have at least as full a measure of blessing as has
descended upon me.
During the Summer, two of the teachers, an Armenian and a
Moslem, conducted a small English school, to which they admit-
ted a good many boys who were unable to pay.
MEDICAL.— Dr. Wishard reports:
During the year, 16,936 attendances have been given the sick in
homes, dispensaries, hospital and villages, by the Medical Department
of Teheran Station. There were admitted into the Hospital 208 patients,
who remained for an average period of IS, 97-101 days each — equal to
3,938 days. Aside from a large number of minor surgical operations, of
which no record was kept, we have a list of 201 operations, 98 of which
have been upon the eye.
The medical work received a gift of $150.00 from the Grand
Vizier. As to making the medical work in any degree self-sup-
porting. Dr. Wishard reports:
The Persians pay, without question, their grocery bills and for other
purchases in the bazaar; have money to uiaKC pilgrimages to Meshed,
and even to far-away Mecca and Medina; support summer-houses in the
cool retreats of the Shimran mountains, to which they go and come in
beautiful victorias fresh from Moscow, drawn by a span of magnificent
Russian horses; but they have no money for the physician who has
faithfully cared for their families during severe ana repeatea illnesses.
Indeed, should the doctor intimate that upon certain occasions he had
found money not an incumbrance, he would probably be met by a look
which would seem to say, "And you would charge a friend money for
saving his life?" The presentation of a bill for medical service to a Per-
sian gentleman would be regarded much in the same light as a minister
in America should he send in a bill for conducting a funeral or baptism
.of the children of his parish.
On the other hand are the thousands — for there is no middle class in
Persia — living in mud hovels, in villages and the crowded quarters of
the great cities, of whom it can truthfully be said, "no man careth."
The entire belongings of such a family could be bought with the sum a
day-laborer would earn in a single week in America. Instead of asking
EASTERN PERSIA — RAMADAN. I79
a fee from them, we must often help them with money, food and cloth-
ing; for it is only in times of illness and great distress that we are called
upon by them to render assistance.
The total amount received on the field during the year was a little
over $1,000.00 (gold).
One of the most pleasant and profitable features of the year's work
has been the Sunday service at the Hospital, conducted by Mr. Ward
This service was frequently attended by more than forty Moslems, and
patients frequently after leaving the Hospital would return on the Sab-
bath for prayer.
Four medical students were graduated from the medical
class — two young Armenians, who had received all their train-
ing in Teheran, and two Jews, who had received the most of
their prejDaration under Dr. Holmes and Dr. Wilson. Their
dij^lomas were signed by all the European physicians in Teheran
connected with the Legation, b}^ the Shah's physician, and by
the ministers of puplic instruction.
HAMADAN STATION.
CHURCHES. — Of St. Stephen's Church, whose membership
is composed of Armenians, Mr. Hawkes writes:
The only progress of which we can speak here is of the contributions.
By a special efl'ort, the church-members doubled their subscription last
yeai', and this year tliey kept up to the same high-water mark.
This is the first year since 1879 that there have been no additions,
Worldliness and the coldness of some members seems to be tlie cause,
while at the same time the number from whom we expect to draw is
growing smaller. Ministers at home often seek a new field under similar
circumstances; but we have a larger field when the day for it comes,
and till then we must continue to hold on. There are certainly brighter
days ahead, when the seed sown, and being sown, shall give a rich har-
vest.
The Sabbath-school numbers IbS members, with an average attend-
ance of 94.
The Peniel Church is composed largely of converted Jews, and
now numbers 15 members. Dr. Holmes has superintended the
Sunday-school connected with it, with an average attendance of
27. The Church and Sunday-school together have given 157
tomans, part of which has been used for the education of a young
man from Nahavand. Mr. Hawkes, who has charge of the
Church in Mr. Watson's absence, writes:
We are stiii waiting for some young men who are entirely convinced
of the truth of the Gospel, but have not yet mustered courage to come
out before the world and confess Christ.
OUTSTATIONS. — Mirza Mushe Doomon, and his aged
mother from Oroomiah, are working bravely at Kermanshah
among Chaldeans, Jews and Moslems, far away from their own
home, but rejoicing at the opportunity to endure hardship for
Christ. They were visited during the year by Mr. Hawkes and
l80 EASTERN PERSIA — HAMADAN.
Mr. and Mrs. Speer on their way to Bagdad. Of this journey to
the Turkish frontier, Mr. Hawkes writes in his report:
None of our station have previously gone over this much-traveled
route. Miss Jewett and Pastor Nehabetiantz went down as far as Kerind,
just after the Conference of 1894. The people are all Kurds, speaking
what is called the Kermanshaliee dialect, and live much more like the
nomads than the villagers we have seen in Persia. In fact, these are
only winter quarters to those living on the lowlands beyond Kerind.
Along the road they all live oil' the pilgrims, who come in at one stage
east of Kermanshah from the north, west, centre, east and south of
Persia as far as Ispahan. It is a continual study of Moslem character,
to see them in all stages, from the lord to the beggar. All grades are
to be found in all states of prosperity and adversity. This pilgrim trade
is very demoralizing to those who live along its line. They all become
very grasping. They greatly need a stable and honest government, as
does all the rest of Persia. But, most of all, they need the Gospel.
At Armenabad two native workers have conducted the school,
while a young licentiate has worked at Manezan. Two native
evangelists have traveled about together, working at important
cities in the province of Irak Ajnii.
WOMEN'S WORK.— Writing of the Friday afternoon prayer-
meeting Miss Lienbach remarks:
We can understand why it M^as necessary for the Apostle Paul to make
a special command that women keep silence in the Churches; for the
w"omen of Persia are not one whit better than the Corinthian women
were, and they can cause considerable commotion with their talk, and
especially when a dispute arises about some missing shoes.
And her report continues:
Dr. Wilson continued to open dispensary work with a little service,
and, as the attendance was very large, many women heard of the love of
the Great Physician, For most of the year, when in the city, she had a
service on Sabbath afternoon, which was well attended by Moslems and
Jewesses. The prayer-nieeving in the Jewish quarter, on Tuesday after-
noon, was kept up thi-oughout the school-year by Mrs. Hawkes, who re-
ports a good attendance of young married women who were at one time
pupils in the school.
At Sheverine, five miles away, the two afternoon meetings
have not been so well attended.
The present priest keeps a watch over certain of his flock, threatening
to report them to a Higher Power should they be found attending Pro-
testant services; and for that reason many were afraid to venture near;
nevertheless, they gladly gather in the home of a sick neighbor, and
seem to want to hear the Gospel.
Calling is, as has been said before, the best means for helping the
women. It makes not only great demands on time, but taxes the
strength. There are the feast-calls on Moslems, Jews and Armenians.
There are calls on the sick, calls of condolence, calls to rejoice with chose
who have had a friend arrive, and calls to "bless"' a new home— as, in
fact, much of a missionary's time must be devoted to this sort of wjork.
Then there is another great demand made upon the missionary's time
by the numerous weddings which occur among the people. These are
EASTERN PERSIA — HAMADAN. l8l
attended more from a sense of duty than pleasure, for it is not alto-
gether a pleasure to be kept waiting nearly all night for the cry, "The
bridegroom cometh!" But as we are not here to please ourselves, we
trust that in some way our very presence in these homes may be the
means of bringing the inmates closer to our Lord.
EDUCATIONAL. — Seventy-six was the average attendance
at the Boys' School, where, under Mr. Watson and Mr. Hawkes,
the six teachers did faithful work — three of whom are, at the
same time, pursuing their medical studies. Ninety-eight girls
were enrolled in the Faith Hubbard School, of whom 35 were
boarders. The girls have begun now to bake all their own
bread, using every week about 280 pounds of flour for this pur-
pose. Miss Charlotte Montgomery writes:
It seems a surprise to the people to find the girls trained here so
capable as wives, mothers and housekeepers. One who had looked on
this school as a doubtful experiment, and would not come here for a
wife for her son, was heard to say, a short time ago: "It is wonderful how
those school-girls, who are married, care for their children! We always
thought no one in a familj- could take care of a child but the mother-
in-law. Then they are so very polite, and do not wish to do anything
contrary to our customs."
During the year a Kindergarten-room was got ready; and,
best of all. Miss Annie Montgomer}^, who is like an army of rein-
forcements, came back from her busy furlough at home.
Of the Jewish Girls' School, Mrs. Hawkes writes:
Near the tenth of Moharrem, in June, threats of a Jewish massacre
made them afraid to venture freely in the streets. School opened Sep-
tember 14th. During the Autumn, we had 51 names on the roll, for the
Winter months 54, and after the Passover 63.
Were a fine register the object of our ambition, we should not attain
it; for many things militate against that. But I may define our aim as
twofold: that tliese girls, in the very few years allowed them before
mari'iage, should learn something of cleanliness and of godliness.
As to the higher aims: Since meddling with books or making intel-
lectual progress will largely cease when they enter their husband's homes,
we try to have their memories fdled Avith the truth, knowing that God's
Spirit often works, as it were, by flash-lights of memory, and in years to
come He may so make use of the Word stored up.
Mrs. Hawkes concludes her report with a little revelation of
Persian character:
After a heavy snow-storm in the Spring, our teacher told our land-
lord that the roof was leaking badly, and should be shoveled. With a
characteristic shrug iie replied, "What Shall 1 do? Shall I say, 'Don't
leak?'"
MEDICAL WOEK.— After eight hard months of medical
work in the Station, assisting Dr. Holmes in teaching the medi-
cal students, conducting clinics and Sunday afternoon meetings
with the women, Dr. Wilson went off on a long itinerating trip
with Miss McCampbell, regarding which she writes:
l82 EASTERN hERSIA — HAMADAN.
Four cities, Kasvin, Zenjan, Bijar and Senneh, and twenty-six vil-
lages were visited. There was a perfect tumult in some places when it
was known a Doctor had arrived; and the news, spreading to surround-
ing villages, some would come long distances to see us.
The cases ranged in importance from the woman who asked me to
feel her pulse and tell her whether she would find a husband, to the hope-
lessly blind woman, who listened for the opening of our door, and im-
mediately took up her station inside, and \\iiose sighs were heartrending
to hear. Smallpox, measles, whooping-cough, were prevalent among the
children; while a multitude of people with a multitude of chronic dis-
eases thronged our yard and followed us into the streets. In Senneh the
lepers sat day by day in rows along the pavement begging from the
passers-by, their condition most pitiable to see. It was surprising how
well we were received by all classes of people on this journey — rich and
poor inviting us to their homes, and in some places we had so many social
engagements that little time was left for medical work.
Senneh, the last city visited, was to be made our stopping-place for
a short time only, as the heat was intenser there. But on account of
the illness of the elder son of IMo-a-ta-med, a prominent man of Koor-
distan, we remained more than a month; but just as soon as the pa-
tient's condition would permit, we started for Hamadan, in spite of en-
treaties on their part for us to remain.
A medical tour is a most satisfactory way of reaching the people in.
many ways. It is impossible to take sufiicient medicines along to sup-
ply all on such a long tour. However, it gives the people an excuse to
visit us, and the attraction to our lodging-place was even more than
was desiretl.
Dr. Holmes reports:
The Dispensary has been open continuously throughout the year. The
attendance has been usually large, and many patients came irom long
distances — five, ten or more days' journey for treatment. A number of
surgical operations have been made, some of exceptional gravity. An
important feature of the Dispensary service during tho year has been
the treatment of victims of the opium habit, who are almost as numer-
ous in many parts of Persia as in China.
The two medical graduates came back from Teheran and
opened Dispensaries in Hamadan, where they already have their
hands full. Dr. Holmes continues:
The demand for educated physicians keeps more than pace with all
that all our medical centres can do to qualify them. Mirza Saeed, the
converted Koord who studied with my predecessor. Dr. Alexander, and
Avho afterwards studied awhile in England and returned, has had his
hands full of practice since, and has recently been invited to go with the
family of Ain-e-Dowleh (whose wife is daughter of the present Shah) to
Teheran, and since his arrival there he has been strongly urged by the
prince and princess to remain permanently in their service. And this,
although he had told them at the outset that he is a Christian, and
though he unhesitatingly bears joyful testimony at exerj opportunity
to Christ as tho only and all-sufticient Saviour.
Of the many appeals for political assistance, Dr. Holmes
writes:
It is a rule, with few exceptions in my experience, that we find local
governors friendly and desirous of complying with reasonable demands.
But the real power of even the strongest governors is very limited, and
EASTERN PERSIA— HAM ADAN. 1 83
if an offender seeks refuge in the grounds of a mujtaheed, he can defy
the governor Wii,h impunity. There can be no question that the present
government is much weaker than tlie last one, and that the power of
the priesthood has correspondingly become magnified. We try to keep
on pleasant terms with these mujtaheeds, as it makes things work much
smoother.
Part of the Summer Dr. Holmes spent with Mrs. Holmes in
an itinerating tour, of Avhich he reports:
We were beset by great multitudes at every point, all of them seek-
ing the healing of the body, while but very few cared for the interest of
their souls. To these few it was difficult, in the midst of the clamor for
medical treatment, to find an opportunity to have any really profitable
conversation; and it was always a relief to meet a few individuals by
the wayside, or in a garden, to whom we could tell of Christ and their
need of salvation Avithout interruption. I could appreciate, as I had
seldom done before, the purpose of our Saviour in so often enjoining on
those whom He had healed, that they should tell no man.
At Dowlatabad, since the season of mourning of the month of Mohar-
rera was at its height, Ave decided to stop only over night, and go on as
soon as practicable in the morning. But the Governor, who was an old
acquaintance, learning of our coming, sent an officer Avith a present, and
an invitation for us to take breakfast A\'ith him in the morning, ani
saying that, as Svon as the lamentation for the evening was concluded,
he Avould himself call. This he did in company Avith one cf the chief
mujtaheeds, and the next morning a carriage Avitli four horses Avas sent
to conA^ey us to his hovise in a pleasant park outside the city, near the
mountain.
During the year there Avere 43 important surgical operations
and 5,556 attendances at the Dispensary.
LITEEARY WORK.— The first instalment of the Bible Dic-
tionary in Persia, consisting of the first books translated by Mr.
Hawkes, has been printed by the Memorial Press at Ispahan.
Mr. Tisdall, of the C. M. S. Mission, has translated the gospel of
John into Kurdish at Mr. Hawkes' instance. As to Bible sales-
Mr. HaAvkes Avrites:
Of late the sales have fallen off very much, and tne agent is con-
stantly asked, "Are you never going to stop peddling these books in the-
bazaar?" A short time ago, a Sayed inquired into his books and Avork,.
and commanded him to stop, threatening to take him before a prominent
mujtaheed. But Avlien the agent shoAved great Avillingness to go along
with him, he turned him off', and on the sly said: "Go on with your
business, and I will not molest you."
The admirable and fine-spirited reports of the East Persia Mis-
sion may be concluded Avith the last paragraph of one of them:
In hai-d times many manufactories are obliged to dismiss their opera-
tors, and close up their establishments for Avant of funds. But those
Avho can, continue their AVork, although they are losing money every day.
They do it for tAvo reasons: first, to give employment to their men and
save their families from starvation; second, to be ready for business
1 84 EASTERN PERSIA — HAMADAN.
when better times come. While those who closed up their establishments
are getting ready, collecting their men and getting their rusted ma-
chinery in running order, these have done much work, and largely made
up their losses, because they get all the first and best orders. To some
extent this is true of missionary and Bible Society work. We are seeing
hard times. Those who are able to weather the storm will see the fruit
of their labors and rich harvests. Moslem fanaticism affects the sale
of the Scriptures, the proclamation of the truth and the schools; but no
doubt good times will come in. The tide is against us now, but doubt-
less there are glorious times ahead, when our good Lord will answer the
many prayers of His servants, and turn the wind and tide in their favor.

OROOMIAH STATION.
In the face of difficulties and discouragements greater than
have been encountered for years, the work of the Oroomiah Sta-
tion has still been marked by larger blessing and hopefulness
than there had been courage to expect.
Beginning with the Week of Prayer, God's Spirit was poui'ed out on
the Churches, and the Winter of 1897 will long be remembered for the
precious revivals that characterized it. For three months the mission-
aries and native evangelists were taxed to the utmost to meet the de-
mands on their time, and as it was several pastors were unable to secure
help.
How bright the outlook was, is indicated by the following ex-
tract from the report of the Committee on Evangelization for the
quarter ending April 16, 1898:
To-day, after three months of untiring and unremitting work, the
report of all the evangelists and helpers is that there is no Old Nestorian
Church left, and that if earnest and continued work is kept up, that
Church will soon be a thing of the past. The Anglican Mission view with
surprise the great stampede to the Gospel services, and are greatly dis-

•couraged. One of their members asked one of our evangelists what he
assigned as a reason for our great success, and when told that it was
only the work of the Holy Spirit, lapsed into deep silence.
Several facts may be mentioned as of the greatest encouragement.
Never before has there been as deep a thirst for the Word of God — such
a desiie to hear it preached in all its simplicity, and such a ready re-
sponse to its claims. With the exception of one place, there has also been
practically no opposition to the work.
A very different aspect was soon presented, as the final Evan-
gelistic report of the year indicates:
As we entered the Spring everything was full of promise, when sud-
denly we were confronted with two calamities. One was the arrival of
two Russian priests, claiming to establish a ]\Iission; and the other was
a "cut" of about 42 per cent, in the estimates. One blow came from a
Church noted for its error, superstition and opposition to all evangelical
truth; and the other came from the Church that has asumed the grave
responsibility, and committed itself by the most solemn pledges, to main-
tain the work it has carried on here for the past centur3\ Both came
Avhen it seemed as if the Church here was ready for a great forward
Tnovement — when we hoped to see the largest ingathering of souls in its
history; when the Old Nestorian Church seemed all ready to fall to
pieces, and accept the truth resisted for so many years. It is not neces-
sary to say which blow hurt most and has caused the gravest anxiety.
The Russians were welcomed with most extravagant joy. The people,
ground down by centuries of oppression and injustice, saw in them their
saviors. Thousands went to meet them with dancing and song, and
woe be to the Moslem who presumed to come near the procession; he
was rudely handled, and things were said that would be now gladly re-
called.
Their propaganda, under the leadership of the unprincipled bishop
and other characters as bad, was commenced on the Nazloo River. It
should be borne in mind that this is the river where the Gospel has had
its hardest struggle, and by far most unpromising field. The people are,
most of them, complete slaves to as bad and unprincipled a bishop as
•ever disgraced that office; and his word with them is law. The Russians
naturally had a walk over, and it is estimated that they secured about
10,000 names as adherents to the Greek Church. Our Church was all
that stood the onslaught, and we lost about one-third our members.
These were inveigled into giving their names by most extravagant prom-
ises, threats, force and family ties.
About two months ago the Russians left, no one knows why, and fortu-
nately took with them the bishop and his assistants.
The heavy reduction in appropriations, rendered necessary hy
the decline of liberality in the home Church, forced the closing
of the College and the Fiske Seminary and of the Hospital, al-
though the last was saved by the personal contributions of the
missionaries, which, together with their contributions toward the
deficiency of the home Church, cut frightfully into their scanty
salaries. Several gifts from America supplemented these sacri-
fices of the missionaries; or the Hospital, with all its magnificent
v\'ork, would have been closed at the very time when, owing to the
great influx of refugees from Turkey, there was a most piteous
need for it.
The reduction in the appropriations was used by the missiona-
1 86 WESTERN PERSIA — OROOklAH.
ries, as far as possible, to encourage the native Church to take an-
other step toward self-support. Great progress has been made
during the year in this matter — in consolidating the work under
a smaller number of workers, in laying greater emphasis on the
native evangelistic opportunity, and in the assuming by the local
Churches of all expense of repairs of church buildings and
manses. Yet the difhculties are very great, as the Station's report
points out:
The poverty of the people! The nation is passing through a financial,
crisis, in which many have become bankrupt. For three years the
tliousands of refugees have been a terrible burden to the peop'le. \Yith
a generosity and openness of hand that might put to the blush the most
liberal gifts of more fortunate and wealthy nations, they have abso-
lutely divided their last crust with the starving. It is estimated that
not less than $50,000 have been given out in bread and food. To-day hun-
dreds are absolutely without a cent, or food of any kind. We have felt
embarrassed in pressing our Church as much as we have, and have felt
that we were cutting it to the quick.
But a second dilficulty is in the increasing oppressions of the gov-
ernment. It is more exacting and abusive each year. In fact, what-
ever may be said as to the poverty of other nations, we doubt whether
any existing government, unless it be Turkey, can equal in its tyranny
this one.
And another difficulty is the attitude of Islam toward all who are
Christians. Debarred from entering many trades and pursuits, their
property is ever the lawful prey of unscrupulous officials; and there
are continual lawsuits, where the Christian has, as a rule, to meet the
costs.
In addition to these difficulties is the embarrassment arising
from the presence of the Roman Catholic and Anglican Missions,
each endeavoring to nullify the work of our own Mission, which is
evangelical in its character, as it also came to the field prior to the
others. It seemed possible for a while that this difficulty would
be increased by the addition of another Mission from America.
Earnest protest, however, was made, and it now seems probable
that this calamity may be averted.
Although the Russian priests have withdrawn for a while, the
difficulties they have introduced have not departed. Mr. Labaree
reports:
The country nas not quieted down Avith the departure of the Russian
priests. Reports of the return of this Mission, with increased numbers
and power, are keeping up the hopes of the people in a political savior.
The political aspect of the country is also chaotic.
And Mr. Coan, writing on this same subject, states:
While, on the one side, there have been defections, there have also
been conspicuous examples of what some are willing to endure for the
faith. Women have, day after day, endured beating, because they would
not follow their husbands into the Greek Church, and stood it out until
they have won the day. Men have been threatened and fined, and young
men cast out of their homes, and remained unmovable, finally bringing

back with them those from whom they had sufTered. The Russian priests
have in many viHages spoken with surprise and pi'aise of our work,
and have expressed tnemselves as greatly astonished at the hold evan-
gelical truth had on the people.
The following table will illustrate the condition of the work
this year, as compared with last:

It is remarkable that, in spite of all the defections of the year,
such a gain in membership can be indicated; and that, despite
the awful poverty and deprivations of the people, an average of 78
cents per member has been given, exclusive of what the people
pay for pupils in the College and Fiske Seminary.
The Mountain Field. — It is a matter of deep regret that the disturbed
condition of the country has left this important part of our field without
visitation now for tW'O years. We have in the mountains two pastors,
six licentiates and one native physician. During the year we have lost
two; one who left on account of the complete sacking of his village, and
one has been dropped on account of the "cut." It is estimated that not
more than one-third of the population of the once fertile Gawar Plain
is now there. Most of the people are here as refugees, and their condi-
tion is most pitiable. Owing to the extreme difficulty of communication,
full reports are not in; but we had last Winter twenty village schools,
with an attendance of about 260. The two High Schools have been closed
the past two years, on account of the cut.
LAKE CONVENTION.— As a spiritual help to the pastors,
the Fourth Summer Bible Conference was held on the shores of
Lake Oroomiah for eight days during the Summer.
Only one-third of the helpers were present, many being deterred by
the small sum necessary to meet expenses; but there was a good attend-
ance of outsiders, and the spiritual tone was good.
VISIT OF DE. MATHEWS.— The Eev. Dr. George Ma-
thews, Secretary of the Presbyterian Alliance, visited the West
Persia Mission during the Fall, was present at the meeting of
the Knooshya (Synod), and brought great encouragement to the
people and to the missionaries. The little Church that has
grown up among the Nestorians stands in no subordinate rela-
tion to other Presbyterian Churches, and was greatly stimulated
by Dr. Mathews' visit, and the recognition given to it as an
integral part of the body of Presbyterian Churches.

done among the villages during the year, not only by the men of
the Station, but by Miss Mary Van Duzee and Miss Russell. A

MEDICAL WORK.— Dr Cochran reports:
The Hospital has been open during the past fifteen months, with the
exception of the three Summer months, when it has always been our cus-
tom to close it. During those months also a few who had come from long
distances had to be received. At one time it looked as though we must
not open this hospital again this year; and, indeed, we could not have
done so, had not the missionaries and others come to our rescue. The
total number of patients for the time under consideration was 577.
Quite a number were from among the refugees from Turkey — Nesto-
rians and Armenians. The sufferings endured by many of these people
in making their way over here was something terrible. Unable to come
away openly, a company Avould start out from their village in the night
under escort of paid Kurds. Neither the Christians nor the Kurds dared
be seen on the public roads in the valleys, and so steep and high valleys
had to be crossed. At night they could not venture into villages, and
so would pass the darkest hours in the best shelter they could find among
the rocks, surrounded by banks of perpetual snow; or, those who came
later in the season would make the whole journey in the snow. Some of
them sick, owing to privations, to start with; most of them with bread
enough for a day or two at best; and all of them thinly clad; and from
four to eight days on the road, would reach Oroomiah in a sad condition.
There have been Kurdish chiefs and Kurdish subjects in the Hos-
pital. Among the latter class we have now a young man who Avas sent
here by his chief to steal another chief's mules. He and his two com-
panions stole up to the place where the mules were feeding and secured
three, and started off with them, but were surrounded by their owner,
who recovered the animals, killed his companions, and shot him through
the lower jaw, fracturing it and tearing open his mouth almost to the
ear. Now that he has nearly recovered, his wild and belligerent nature
is again asserting itself, and he is picking quarrels with his fellow-
patients. I have had to take his dagger from him, and threaten to dis-
miss him if he does not behave.
Among the outside patients have been many leading people of the
place, the Governors, the chief Moslem ecclesiastics, and many khans.
WESTERN PERSIA — OROOMIAH. 189
Besides her work in connection with the Hospital, Dr. Miller
made a tour in company with Miss M. K. Van Duzee and Mr.
Coan to Sulduz, for about two weeks.
The relief work began by Mr. W. W. Howard in the Fall of
1896, and for which Mr. Howard raised in Great Britain and
America, with generous and self-forgetful energy, large sums of
money, has been carried on during the year by the Oroomiah
missionaries, especially by Dr. Cochran.
Over 23,000 tomans have been distributed in food, clothing, bedding,
oxen, plows, seed, and in the payment for labor done by the refugees.
POLITICAL DIFFICULTIES.— Eenewed efforts have been
made to keep political difficulties from coming before Moslem
officials; and where difficulties have arisen between Nestorians
and Moslems, and where it has been impossible to keep matters
out of the hands of the latter, much work has been involved to
secure justice and prevent oppression. Dr. Cochran writes:
The long sickness of Shamasha Eleya, the legal representative of our
community, brought more of the detail of the diwan work upon me
during that period. There have been many aggravated cases of oppres-
sion, plunder and murder among the people, aside from the common
difficulties arising between the Christians themselves.
An especially perplexing case arose in the village of Geogtapa,
where the accidental drowning of a Moslem after a quarrel, in
which some of the young men of this Christian village were in-
volved, brought down upon the village outrage and robbery and
oppression, which was only stayed at last by money payments,
aggregating one thousand tomans, and by the execution of one
of the ISTestorians. The general outlook of the country has been
gloomier than for many years. Civil government has seemed to
grow weaker and weaker, and oppression, disorder and outrage
have increased.
THE PEESS.—
The output for the Oroomiah Press for the twelve months ending
April 30, 1897, was larger than for two years past. The total number
of pages printed was 725,716. Of these 279,000 were of Sunday-school
Lesson leaves, 79,200 were of the "Eays of Light," 25,000 in completing
the Sacred Geography, 192,000 on the Hymn-book, 100,000 were of the
Primer, 29,200 were of tracts, and 21,316 of job work, most of the latter
being a report of the National Committee Meeting of Nestorians.
During the year work was done in casting tour complete fonts of
Syriac type, one of them being without vowel-points.
The Guest Department. — Our city is, of course, the political and mar-
ket-centre for the hundreds of villages surrounding it. In the Christian
quarter of the city, there are no inns where the thousands of people who
come to the city on business may lodge. To stay at the house of some
Christian imposes a burden which even Oriental hospitality is unable
to bear. For the villagers to return the same day is often impossible, be-
cause of the distance and the slow methods of transacting business. Then
190 WESTERN PERSIA — OROOMIAH.
many come in on Mission business, and we must provide them a lodging.
So gradually has sprung up what we call the "Guest Department." This
consists of three lodging-rooms, a stable, a kitchen, a couple of store-
rooms, and a man in charge of all. The rooms are furnished with car-
pets, and about a dozen quilts each- — a very meagre outfit compared with
the needs and use. One room is exclusively for our own preachers. To
these alone do we give any food, and that only once a month to the
fifteen members of the Evangelistic and Educational Boards, during
their two days' sessions. The second room is for the commoner people
of the plain, and the third room for the poorer and dirtier people of the
mountains. All three rooms are lighted and warmed, and all Christians
welcomed without reference to creed.
The present man in charge is an elder in the Geogtapa Church, and
we pay him four tomans a month. He takes entire charge of the de-
partment, cooking and serving the meals for the members of the Boards,
keeping the bedding in order and the rooms clean, and in conducting
himself, or securing a leader for the devotional exercises which are held
regularly morning and evening. He does not hesitate to reprove even
our preachers, if they fail to attend the services while they are here.
There is no preacher who has so large a parish as is found in our Guest
Department.
It takes a man of rare force of character and spirit to heat the rooms
economically, to assign the men to their proper places, acting firmly and
with kindly spirit, and at the same time to perform the work of cook and
earnest preacher.
WOMEN'S WOEK. — Mrs. Laljaree writes, of the women's
meeting undertaken by her and Mrs. Shedd:
The sad ignorance and woeful habits of the mothers of this country,
and the pitiful condition of the poor children, have lain heavily on my
heart for a long time, and in going to the villages I have tried to talk
along lines that might be especially helpful to mothers. In personal
calls on women in the city, this thought has usually been uppermost.
Last December, when calling on a mother who had just laid away her
fifth little one in the grave we naturally fell to speaking of the care of
children, and she said: "It must be that we do not know how to take
proper care of our children." \Mien I saw how eager she was to learn
some better way, the opportunity for which I had beea watching for over
a year seemed to have presented itself, and as a result of that call a
mothers' meeting has been formed.
Miss Eussell has not been very strong for the w^hole of the
year, but has made nine visits to villages apart from her personal
work in Oroomiah.
Miss Mary Van Duzee writes:
The work for women this year has been in some respects very differ-
ent from that of previous years. The thousands of mountain Nesto-
rians who have poured down upon all our villages, filling every house,
stable and shed to their utmost capacity, have brought to our doors a
new element, sadly in need of instruction. Many of them were sur-
prised to come into the light of our Churches and schools, and said they
never before had realized how dark they had been in their mountain
homes, and how far away from God. Very many of them profess to have
been converted in the precious revivals of last Winter. For these multi-
tudes of mountain women brought to our doors, we employed six extra
Bible-women during the Winter, and their work seemed to be blessed.
WESTERN PERSIA — TABRIZ. I9I
Several of the mountain women have asked for admission to the Church,
and much seed has been sown, which we hope -will bear fruit some time.
In Geogtapa 1 Avent with the Bible-womnn to see her flock, and many of
tiie women, and even the men, repeated tlie Lord's Prayer and the
Creed, with the pleasure of a little child who rejoices in some new attain-
ment.
In November we had an Institute for Deaconnesses.
There has been less opportunity than ever to work for Moslem women,
but the regular Sunday Bible Class for them has been continued through-
out the year.
The villages in my care contained 150 of the poor refugees, who were
here in the dead of Winter without food, and very many without bed-
ding or clothing, except as supplied by the kindness of Christian friends.
Nearly all these families I visited personally, and found several sleeping
on the bare ground in the stables.
I have spent 78 days, or parts of days, in the villages, visiting 50
different ones, and several of them many times over. I have conducted
194 meetings, made 592 calls, and received 1,092 callers.
EDUCATIONAL.— The "cut" forced the closing of the Fiske
Seminar}'- and the College during part of the year, but all of the
day-schools were practically continued on one-fourth the
amount expended on them the year before, the people them-
selves providing what else was necessary. There were 46 boys in
the College.
TABRIZ STATION.
The Tabriz missionaries have never taken up the work of their
large field with greater energy and sacrifice than during the last
year. As Mr. Brashear writes:
During the fourteen months since Annual Meeting in October, 1896,
we have averaged two m.en in the field nearly all the time. In other
words, one-sixth of the time of the force of Tabriz has been spent in
reaching the widely scattered peoples of our region. In this account the
married ladies are included, for they have borne just as much of the
burden by remaining at home "with the stuff" as have the others.
Miss Jewett has spent six months in Mianduab and vicinity. Dr.
Wright has passed eight months making three tours to Salmas, Khoi
and the Armenian villages in that and Oroomiah fields. He also made
a journey to Karadagh. Miss Holliday spent live months in Salmas,
Khoi and vicinity. T. G. Brashear spent three and a half months in a
tour to Moslem villages between Tabriz and Maragha, and then two
months in Salmas. Mr. Wilson made a journey of one month's duration
to Karadagh. Beside these, the native agency has done better than
usual in visiting the places near the outstations, and we have made some
trips to places near the city. In Tabriz corresponding efforts have been
put forth to reach the people with the simple Gospel message, and not
without results.
We have to note the death of a native brother, a convert from the
sect of the AUi Illahees. He died with his Bible clasped in his hands, and
trusting in Christ.
Both Dr. Wright and Mr. Brashear emphasize the conviction
that now, that the field is open, every energy must be devoted to
spreading the knowledge of the Gospel, lest the opportunity
should pass with our work undone. Mr. Brashear says:
192 WESTERN PERSIA — TABRIZ.
The general state of affairs in this part of the world has also led us
to believe that it is our first duty to preach the Gospel as fast and to aa
manj'^ people as we can, not knowing how soon changes may occur which
will either compel us to cease from this work or to carry it on under re-
strictions.
And Dr. Wright writes:
As to Mission policy, I find a growing tendency to put the great
emphasis on the direct, and, as far as may be, public proclamation of the
truth.
We must work while the day of opportunity lasts. Present indica-
tions are that this part of Persia may soon pass into other and less favor-
able conditions.
In Tabriz, evangelistic meetings have been held at different
seasons of the year, and have made a deep impression upon the
Armenians. Mr. Wilson writes of them:
One of these meetings is described by a traveling correspondent of
an Armenian paper of Tiflis, the "Nor Dar" (New Century). He con-
cludes his article as follows: "A thing which drew my attention was this:
How did such a multitude honor this meeting with their presence, when
they themselves Mere not pleased with it? If it had been any kind of a
national meeting, they would not have come if you had invited them
twenty times. But now, behold ! they have come of their own accord
to hear themselves rebuked.
I also meditated how the American dollar has reared up structures
in Persia where at night, when most people are asleep, fishing for men
is cariied on rapidly, and yet so veiled and with sucli success, that
quickly the Gregorian faith shall be changed to the Protestant. And
with it all Etchmiadzin is asleep!"
Numbers have been added to the Church at each of the com-
munion seasons. The report remarks also:
The "cut" has had a wholesome effect in teaching us to look more to
the spiritual power necessary for success, and less to material means.
I think all our missionaries and native brethren now see that perhaps
a mistake was made in giving and expecting so much support from
Christians at home.
It is to be regretted that Sliss Holliday's report of her work
in the Salmas plain and the report of Miss Jewett of her work
at Mianduab cannot be reproduced in full. They constitute
strong evidence of the heroic character of our missionary work.
For eight months Miss Jewett lived alone in the Moslem village
of Mianduab, four days' Journey from Tabriz; seeing in all that
time only Mr. Coan and Miss Lincoln, who stopped for a day or
so on their return from Hamadan. Miss Jewett justly asks:
Is it not Avorthy of record that I was enabled to dwell in peace and
safety, in a Moslem town for eight months, surrounded on all sides by
Moslems, and uniformly treated with the greatest respect by all — men,
women and children, — with unnumbered opportunities of teaching them
the truth as revealed in our blessed Bible?
On the morning that I left Mianduab for Tabriz, my yai-d was full of
my friends among the men — Armenian and Moslem — who had come to
WESTERN PERSIA — TABRIZ. 1 93
see me ofi". My room was full of my women friends and my boys and
girls. While my horses M-ere being loaded, I began to read to those in
my room, and standing by the open window. As I read and talked to
them and spoke of our coming separation, all hearts were touched, and
the room was filled with weeping. When at last I was started, the crowd
of men, women and children accompanied me on the way to the river
bank, with kind and loving farewells. The reason I came away was that
I had found the loneliness, the mental strain, the cramped quarters (my
one little room serving as a sitting-room, dining-room, bedroom, recep-
tion-room, schoolroom and meeting- room), th.e lack of comforts and even
necessities, and the foggy, damp atmosphere telling on my health. I was
almost broken down when I reached Tabriz.
I find it more dillieult to work in Tabriz than in Mianduab, because
in the great city there is more formality and less freedom than in the
small town.
During the six months I was in the city, I received 144 calls, made lOt)
visits, attended 148 meetings, and helped to entertain guests at our table
for 105 meals, averaging a little less than three efforts a day.
Although Miss Jewett has been for twenty-six years in Persia,
had filled the preceding months with all this work, she made
four other country tours to Sulduz, Oatch Tappa, Maragha and
Mianduab, where she remained one month. Of this visit she
writes:
"Another parable spake He unto them: 'The Kingdom of Heaven U
like unto leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal
till the whole was leavened.' Once in a while we are permitted glimpses
of how the leaven is working. I was rejoiced to see that it was not in
vain that I had remained in Mianduab those eight inonths, living among
the people, teaching them by precept and example. AVith great love and
cordiality they received me. For many days and evenings my time was
fully occupied in conversations with those who came to give me a wel-
come. One evening especially I note, when there was a company of 25
in my room, 12 of whom were women, the rest my boys and girls. After
the reading of a portion of Scripture, with comments and a prayer, the
remainder of the evening was spent in a pleasant social manner. What
a change was manifest in the conversation and the words used! Where,
a year previous, these same mouths were full of oaths and blasphemy,
I now heard nothing of that sort. One woman said: "We have learned
so that now we seldom swear, even in our own houses." While living
among them I ever frowned on anything filthy in word or act, and it
was encouraging to see the impression that had been made.
Miss Holliday's work in the Salmas plain was chiefly among
the Armenians, and of the same faithful, energetic character as
Miss Jewett's. To such work as this Miss Holliday brings her
magnificent intellectual equipment, with a spirit of never-to-be-
rufiled cheerfulness. From Oola, she v.Tote in December:
The Winter has set in about a month earlier than usual, and liearvy:
snows have fallen, so the plain is thickly covered, and it is not yet cold
enough to give solid roads; but, from January to March, it is said there
will be good traveling, and by April all will be dry. Every one said Win-
ter is the very best time to see village people, as they are at leisure from
field-work.
During the "Winter Miss Holliday traveled about from town.
194 WESTERN PERSIA — TABRIZ.
to town, encouraging the native workers, teaching the people,
and preaching the Gospel with her Armenian woman for a com-
panion.
BOYS' SCHOOL.— Mr. Wilson writes:
The total attendance is 140, of whom IS are in the kindergarten, 102
in the common-school course, and 20 in the night-school. All are Ar-
menians, except six Nestorians, and ten are children of Protestants.
In October the night-school for young men was started with lessons
in Armenian, Arithmetic, Book-keeping, English and Singing. It began
with fifty pupils, but the demand for a slight tuition, the opening of an
opposition night-school by the Armenians witii free instruction, together
with other causes, reduced the attendance to 20. Even with this number
it is a success, especially as most of the pupils are regular attendants at
the evangelistic services.
In the Autumn no high-school classes were received, partly because re-
trenchment was necessary, but largely because a change of policy seemed
necessary. Neither the condition of Persia nor the demands of our Mis-
sion work can furnish employment to a great number of thoroughly
trained young men. Those not needed as teachers or called as preachers
find difficulty in earning a livelihood, and drift to foreign countries, and
their influence for the advancement of Christianity in Persia is lost. On
the other hand, boys who leave school at about the age of sixteen can
become apprentices to merchants or artisans, or, if need be, return to
their farms or gardens, and remain a part of the life of Persia; and if
they have developed the proper character, can be efficient leaders of their
people, who are for the most part far behind them in education.
GIRLS' SCHOOL.— ]\Iiss Wallace's return to America left
the responsibilities of the Girls' School upon Miss Demuth, while
Miss Holliday did a great deal of work, especially in Bible-teach-
ing, before going to Salmas, and Miss Jewett moved into the
building with Miss Demuth on her return from ]\Iianduab. Scar-
let fever, typhoid fever and smallpox were among the alleviations
of the year's work; Miss Demuth having been laid aside herself
for quite a while by typhoid.
MEDICAL WOEK. — Dr. Vanneman reports a larger num-
ber of patients in the Dispensary than any previous year; a
Mosul convert assisting greatly in speaking to those in the wait-
ing-room of Jesus. Dr. Vanneman's report gives interesting
incidents:
During the year I have visited medically most every person of promi-
nence in the city. In this way I have been called to the Crown Prince
of Persia, the Governor of this part of Persia, government officials of all
grades, and many of the Persian nobility. I have treated the families of
four of the five European consuls, nearly all of the European population,
and a large number of the Armenians.
Every call that the poor have made has been answered, while the rich
have often been declined for lack of time.
We try to keep the first place in our work for the poor.
Dr. Vanneman was also called to treat the chief Moslem eccle-
1
WESTERN PERSIA — TABRIZ. 195
siastic in Tabriz, who was at the time ill in his village, 12 or 15
miles away. Though the call came at about two o'clock in the
morning, Dr. Vanneman went immediately, to the great delight
of the Mushtiheed, and remained with him for two days, being
treated by the whole family with the greatest respect and con-
sideration.
There were 8,579 attendances at the Dispensary, and 1,153
outside visits.
The women's medical work, save to the extent that Dr. Van-
neman had been able to carry it on, was resumed by Dr. Bradford
on her return from America, July 3, 1897. The property given
by Mr. and Mrs. Whipple on their return to America was put
in order for the Hospital pur]>oses by means of special gifts from
Mrs. Eeid, of Lake Forest, III., in memory of her daughter,
Mrs. Lillie Eeid Holt. The Memorial Fund given by the
friends of Theodore Child, the artist, who died in Persia several
years ago, was also used; and although it will be necessary to
display great tact, there is every hope that Dr. Bradford will be
able to develop a useful medical work in behalf of the Moslem
women. In addition to 349 Dispensary patients during the
two months preceding Dr. Bradford's report, she had made 119
visits, of one of which she writes:
At one house they cordially allowed Dr. Vanneman to help me; but
another time when 1 wished to send for him, they asked me to postpone
the operation, and then did not call me for two days. During that time
€very other possible means were resorted to, and I reached them only to
find the patient beyond help; for the lot had decided against my return,
and their holy men had said: "It is better for her to die than that a man
should see her." At another place, after the patient had been made com-
fortable, the master of the house came in, and sitting down among the
women, he said: "Hereafter I shall always call the lady doctor whenever
we have need of her." Turning to the midwife, he spat on her, and ex-
claimed, in an angry voice: "What do you know? You have been de-
ceiving me all this time. The fact is we will put all question of defile-
ment to one side, and have her come whenever we wish." As it was the
house of a Saved, and my every motion had been guarded with the ut-
most care that not a drop of water should fall on the carpet, nor even
my fingers come in contact with the faucet of the samavar, I thought it
would be some time before "all question of defilement would be put
away."
Dr. Bradford is striving to make her medical work wholly
evangelistic:
Realizing that those who come to us are much more in need of spirit-
ual than bodily healing, and recognizing that the medical work in the
city is an important means of contact with the Moslem women, our aim
is that every one we treat should hear something of Christ. This is
done by taking time to speak with each one. Sometimes only a few
words are said; sometimes a half hour is spent in reading and talking.
Every morning the workmen of the building gather for prayers, and
on Sunday come for a preaching service.
196 WESTERN PERSIA — MOSUL.
MOSUL STATION.
The Board decided, with great reluctance, during the year to
withdraw from the work at Mosul for the following reasons:
The remote and isolated position of Mosul; the impossibility
of carrying on from Mosul the work among the mountain Xesto-
rians, for which the Mission Station had originally been established;
the inability of the missionaries to secure permission to build
suitable residences; the opinion of the medical missionary that
the climatic and sanitary conditions were such that missionaries
"would be only able to live here during six months of the year."
the depletion of the missionary force by resignation on account
of health; the feeling of the remaining missionaries that it was
not the wisest and most economical expenditure of life and
money to keep up the attempt to carry on the work of the Sta-
tion; and the great demands of other fields. In accordance Avith
this action, Dr. and Mrs. Hansen Avere transferred to the Laos
Mission, and Mr. and Mrs. Ainslie, whose work has been in
Arabic, and Miss McLean, plan to return to the United States,
as no other Arabic work is connected with the Persia Missions.
Eegarding the evangelistic work, Mr. Ainslie writes:
There had been no special religious interest, yet there were reported
12 new members and 35 inquirers. One village had been abandoned on ac-
count of oppression, and the preacher -was asking for a new field of
labor. In another region our preacher and teacher had been arrested and
imprisoned, breaking up the work there. Yet, when we looked at the
field as a whole, there were signs of encouragement and hope. Just after
the members of the Presbytery had gone home, we received the news
that more than 56 per cent, of the appropriation for the year must be
cut out. As a result of this, we wiped from our slate all the boarding-
schools, in the field, all the day-schools in the mountains, and a large per-
centage of the preachers in all parts of the field.
Of the educational work, the Station report says:
Last Winter Mr. McDowell gathered a class of five members, and gave
them a course of about four months in the most practical branches of
theology. The Tiary Night School and twenty-one day-schools in the
mountains gathered a fair number of scholars for a snort term of in-
struction. These schools need personal superintendence by a missionary,
but circumstances did not allow of this the past year.
We will not try to describe the many forms of opposition from the
Catholics and from Government officials. We thought these bad enough,
but the hardest blow of all came from the American Churches in cutting
down the work.
WOMEN'S WOEK.— In spite of the hostility of the Turkish
government and the inability of the missionaries to visit the
mountain people, the work among the women has been kept up
faithfully. Some of the difficulties of the work among the
women in Mosul arise from the efforts of the Catholic mission-
aries. Miss McLean writes:
WESTERN PERSIA — MOSUL. I97
The Arab women are being deluded; one told us many of them prayed
to the Virgin Mary, and they believed she would answer their prayers.
When asked who slie was, the reply was: "I don't know; some woman."
And in a villa<ie called Xcbby Jonas, quite a sacred Moslem retreat, we
found many of the women were wearing medallions, such as are worn by
every Catholic, and some wished to sell them as antiques from Nineveh.
In Mosul the Bible-women have a class of 40 scholars, three of
whom are over 50 years of age, 12 are Catholics, and the rest
Jacobites. Miss McLean's report continues:
All of these 40 scholars are taught the Testament, beginning with
John's gospel. How earnestly do we pray that, as Christ revealed Him-
self to the woman of Samaria, so He would to these women!
Hundreds have visited our homes, many of them have been Moslem
women; and although we cannot do much more than pray for them, yet
they have said we were not like them ; we were willing to help everybody.
Earnestly do we hope and pray that, through us, Christ may be magnified
and made known.
MEDICAL WOEK.— Dr. Hansen has seen 2,500 patients,
and did quite a little work on his waj' to and from Tabriz at the
last Annual Meeting.
Sometimes, along the road, we were called on to descend from our
horses and attend to the sick! Physicians rarely pass through those
wild Kurdish mountains; so people are eager to avail themselves of the
opportunity when one arrives, especially as they have learned on other
occasions to value the service of the Missionary physician.
We have been enabled to overcome a good deal of the anti-Protestant
prejudices which prevail in the city, and our services are sought for from
homes which formerly have been adverse to seek aid of the Protestant
physician. We are glad to note that this circle is gradually widening,
both in Mohammedan and Christian communities.

IN MEMOEIAj\I.— The year has been remarkable for the
number of promotions from our company of missionaries to the
higher service in heaven. The Eev. Stephen Bush, D.D., was the
first to go. He was a missionary in Bangkok, 1849 to 1852, when
he v/as obliged to leave Siam on account of his health. He
passed away at his home in Waterford, IST. Y., near the close of
last year. Mrs. J. A. Eakin, who was at home on furlough with
her husband and two children, entered into rest in January. The
Eev. S. G. McFarland, D.D., finished his course in April, at his
home in Canonsburg, Pa. He came to Siam in 1860, and labored
until 1896. The Eev. N. A. McDonald, D.D., was called to the
presence chamber of the King in August. He and Dr. McFar-
land, with their wives, came to Siam on the same vessel. After
twenty-five years of great usefulness, he finally gave up the work
in 1885, and was living at his home in Shade Gap, Pa., when the
summons came. All these were faithful unto death, and have
received the crown of life. AVe extend to the dear friends who
mourn their departure our sincere sympathy, as those who suffer
and rejoice with them.
BANGKOK STATION.
CHUECHES.— The three Churches of the Station are in a
flourishing condition. The first, at Sumraj^, has received during
the year five persons on confession of their faith, and ten others
199
200 SIAM — BANGKOK.
have expressed their intention to unite at the next Communi(m.
The second Church, at Wang Lang, though limited h}' its loca-
tion mainly to the teachers and students of the Harriet M. House
School, has maintained regular services except during the school
vacations, and has received one new member. Two children have
been baptized. The third Church, at Rajawong Chapel, has also
been making substantial growth. Nine persons have been re-
ceived on profession of their faith and baptized, and two children
were baptized.
EVANGELISTIC— In the broader sense of the term, all our
v.'ork is evangelistic; and in the ordinary sense, all other depart-
ments are subordinate to the work of winning souls for Christ
and building up His Church in this land. It is a pleasure to
record that our people show an increasing desire to do more
for the support of the Gospel. The first Church, in addition to
supporting its own pastor and building a parsonage for him, has
paid the salary of one of its elders, who is engaged in evangelistic
work; and it is now proposed that all our native evangelists shall
hereafter be under the care and control of the Home Mission
Committee of the Presbytery of Siam, and be supported from its
funds.
Outside of the organization Churches, regular preaching
services have been carried on at Rajawong and Paknam by Mr.
Snyder, and at one chapel in Bangkok by Mr. J. B. Dunla|). One
l^reaching-place in the city was closed for lack of funds on ac-
count of the cut on our appropriations; but another is soon to be
opened, supported by private subscription here on the field.
The attendance has been good at all these j^laces. The work
at Paknam seems especially encouraging. There are several be-
lievers among the attendants, though they are not yet ready to
confess Christ openly. At Ayuthia systematic house-to-house
visiting has been done, from which fruit will surely come in due
time.
ITINERATING.— Mr. Boon-Itt, with several others, traversed
a considerable part of the Paknampo region, preaching and
teaching.
In this connection special mention is due to the work of Kru Huat,
the evangelist of the First Church of Bangkok. He had formerly been
all over that part of the country as an official in the Siamese government
service, and was known everywhere as a man of strict integrity and un-
blemished reputation. Afterward, when he went among the people with
the Gospel message, his character added weight to his words.
As usual, most of the touring has been done by Dr. Dunlap.
He and Mrs. Dunlap spent 43 days in February and March on a
tour down the east coast of the Gulf of Siam.
SIAM — BANGKOK. 201
They visited six provinces and three islands, going by canoe and on
foot back some distance from the coast, and laboring in the villages in the
interior. As a rule, they were ■\\ell received. Three persons were baptized
in the province of Chantaboon, and 2,456 copies of Scriptures and tracts
were sold.
A tour of four months was also made to the province of Nakawn.
While in the city of Nakawn, they held daily preaching services; traveled
on elephants 15 days to distant places in the interior; dedicated a chapel
built by the native Christians at the village of Haw Mok: made a journey
of i:0 days up the river Looang, and had the joy of baptizing 14 adults
and placing 25 on probation. Discipline was necessary in the case of some
members who had gone astray, but nearly all the disciples showed mani-
fest growth in grace and in willing service.
A sad event in connection with this tour was the death of the faithful
elder of the Nakawn Church, Xai Mit; yet his death was a triumph to the
cause of the Gospel. His last thoughts were for the interests of Christ's
kingdom, giving money and materials for a chapel which was erected by
the disciples after he was gone. After he had lost the power of speech he
testified by signs that the Saviour was with him, and that he was at
peace. The Bethlehem Church of Nakawn now numbers G5 members.
Recently Dr. Dunlap has made another tour alone, going 200 miles
down the Mest coast of the Gulf to the province of Choompawn. He went
into the interior of the province, preached the Gospel in the court-house
at the capital, where he was well received by the government officials,
visited in the homes of the people, and sold 646 portions of the Scriptures
and other books and tracts.
MEDICAL. — The only medical missionary, Dr. Toy, has spent
a large part of the year in the Paknampo region, traveling and
living in a large boat which he had bought for the purpose. He
was welcomed everywhere. At Pitsanuloke he had the privilege
of saving the wife of the governor of the province from death
by poison, taken by mistake; and this gave him much prestige in
that community. ISTow that his boat is known to the people along
the river, it is often hailed from the bank, and the doctor is urged
to stop and see their sick ones. He performed some important
operations, and others are awaiting his return. We are glad to
state that this branch of our work has reached self-support.
Dr. Dunlap also had considerable medical practice, especially
during the tour to Nakawn. He found that the people were eager
for his services, and that the relief of suffering was an effective
means of opening their hearts to religious truth.
EDUCATIONAL.— The day-school at Paknam has an enrol-
ment of 45 puj^ils, 17 of whom are girls. Eecently nine of the
pupils, eight boys and one girl, came up to Bangkok for the ex-
amination before the Educational Committee of the Government.
This was the first girl who had ever appeared before the Com-
mittee. The pupils attend the preaching services in the chapel.
Owing to the necessity of changing teachers, and the coming
of the season when children are employed in the rice-fields, the
attendance at the Ayuthia day-school has fallen oft' to 18; yet
Mr. Snyder has succeeded not only in making the school self-
202 SIAM — BANGKOK.
supporting from the time of its opening last May, but it has also
paid the current expenses of the Ayuthia floating chapel.
The H. M. House School for Girls has enjoyed the most
prosperous year in its history. During most of the time the
building has been full to overflowing, and now there are many
applicants who must be refused for want of room. Some have
waited for months to secure the coveted position. The enrolment
for the year was 110. Miss Cole and Miss Bates find it a heavy
strain on their strength and patience to train and care for all
these girls; but they are ably assisted by Miss Lucy Dunlap and a
corps of faithful native teachers, and bear their labors and
responsibilities Joyfully for the Master's sake.
The Bangkok Christian High School is in a flourishing condi-
tion. The enrolment is 100. "When it is remembered that the
school opened in May with an attendance of 62, it is plain that
our hopes for the future are well founded. A large part of the
present prosperity is due to the diligence and genial ways of Miss
Cooper, who is deferring her furlough for several months, in
order to provide for this growing work. Since the return of Mr.
Eakin and his sister in June, the school has been under his
charge. Miss Eakin has had the care of the sick and has drilled
the school in calisthenics, besides teaching the Woman's Bible
Class and the little children in the Sabbath-school. Already her
influence is apparent in the deepening of religious interest among
the women of the neighborhood, several of whom have decided
for Christ.
The religioiis interest in the school is encouraging. Only one
of the students has united with the Church during the year; but
he is the best scholar in the Senior Class, and is now employed
as a student teacher. Six others have made known their inten-
tion to make a confession of their faith in the near future, and
many more are almost persuaded. It is a significant fact that the
Christian students are deeply concerned for the conversion of
their heathen parents; and some of them, before going home for
the present vacation, came and asked the prayers of the Principal
in behalf of their friends at home. Nearly all the students who
are old enough to make an intelligent decision have declared be-
fore their companions that they are believers in the Christian
faith.
THE PKESS. — Owing to the necessity of retrenchment this
year, it was decided to place the Press on a self-supporting basis.
This involved extra work, which in addition to preaching at the
chapel up in the city, and supplying the pulpit of the Second
Church, has been too much for Mr. J. B. Dunlap, the manager,
who broke down and had to be sent to Hongkong. A foreman
has now been employed to assist him.
During the year the Press has printed 3,700,000 pages, and has
boimd and covered 4-5,000 volumes.
SIAM— PETCHABUREE. 2O3
PETCHABUREE STATION.
To a degree quite exceptional, the members of this Station
have had good health. They have gladly welcomed Mrs. Ly-
man, who, notwithstanding her sore bereavement, has courage-
ously continued the study of the Siamese language, and has
made satisfactory progress.
CHUECHES. — Mr. McClure has maintained the regular
Church services throughout the year. Dr. Thompson has been
superintendent of the Sabbath-school, whose enrolment is 110 —
a gratifying increase. The little ones flock in from all direc-
tions. They are a motely crowd of dress and undress, — little
tots in silks and Jewels, and bronzed waifs in simple nature's
garb, — but the missionaries speedily learn to love them.
The Wednesday evening prayer-services have been fairly well
attended, and several men and women have freely taken part.
Mrs. McClure's praj^er-meeting for the women has been kept
up without intermission, the women selecting their own leader
during her brief absence. The Church Session has found it
necessary to cut off a number by regular process, hence the roll
has been somewhat reduced. There have been two accessions.
The contributions have covered all the expenses. The congre-
gation has also paid the wages of two Bible-women, and contrib-
uted ticals 320 toward the work of the Home Mission Committee
of Presbytery.
EVANGELISTIC— Licentiate Boon and the two Bible-
women have done faithful work in the rest-places by the way-
side, where they meet many people from the outlying villages
and distant parts of the province. The number of Scriptures
and tracts sold during the year is about 275.
The outlying churches, four in number, were visited by Mr.
and Mrs. Eckels. The attendance has been small. Mrs. Eckels
made a special effort to interest the children, and they have
shown an encouraging degree of interest. Mr. McClure, accom-
panied by Mr. Cooper, made a recent tour among the churches.
Numerous services were held, many of the heathen homes were
visited, and a considerable number of tracts and Scriptures sold.
But two of the village churches now have elders, and but two
have chapel-buildings, and they are in poor repair.
ITINERATING.— The departure of Mr. Eckels and the
transfer of Mr. Cooper to Eatburee have greatly hindered this
part of the Station work. Two tours were the chief feature.
The annual trip up the Petchaburee river in January was made
by Mr. McClure, accompanied by Mr. Grossman and Kru Boon.
Equipped with babj^-organ, Bible pictures. Scriptures and stere-
optican they taught and preached as opportunity offered. The
other tour was made to the provinces of Ptran and Gooie by Dr.
204 SIAM — PETCHABUREE.
Thompson in April. He Avas accompanied by Kru Boon and
N"ai Beang. The trip was full of interesting and profitable ex-
periences, among ■nhich were a Chinese with his 30 or 40 neigh-
bors jjrofessing interest in Christianit}^, and the meeting with a
suspended church-member who had again found the waj' of
righteousness.
EDUCATIONAL.— The Girls' Boarding-school in charge of
Miss Gait is at present our higher school, as compared with the
other schools, which are really primary. The present enrolment
is 16, 10 of whom are boarders. The total for the year was 28.
The expenses have been ticals 445, and the receipts, ticals 179.36.
Heretofore children living at a distance were received into the
boarding department gratuitously upon their promising to stay
a stated length of time; but next year we shall make an attempt
at independence by charging three ticals per month.
The Boys' Boarding-school is for the present a day-school, the
boarding department having been closed by the cut. It is not
expected to reopen except on a better self-supporting basis. With
the present excellent native teacher, there is prospect of the
school increasing in reputation and numbers.
Outside Schools. — The present enrolment of the four schools
is 27. These schools have been faithfully superintended through-
out the year. The pupils, though considerably less than last year,
are of more stable character, and fair progress has been made by
the pupils. ]\Iiss Hitchcock has found more encouragement
than formerly in visiting among the patrons of the schools, and
they have finally been made to understand that more tuition
must be paid. The expenses have been: ticals 266.59, and the
income ticals 63.63.
MEDICAL. — The medical work has been in charge of Dr.
Thompson. The total number of patients treated was 1,262,
of whom 32 were in-patients. Injuries from fights have made
decidedly less work than in former years, due partly to the im-
proved local government of the province and jDarth' to the fact
that the physician charges more for treating such cases than
formerly. The total receipts from the medical work were ticals
860 — an increase over last year, but still requiring ticals 474
from the Board's treasury to cover expenses outside of the medi-
cal missionary's salary. At the beginning of the fiscal year it
was planned to make the work self-supporting, and the new
schedule is being gradually but firmly enforced. Patients receiv-
ing treatment in the Hospital are required to pay from eight to
24 atts per day, according to the gravity of the case, exclusive of
boarding, and the results are most gratifying.
Evening prayers have been maintained in the Hospital throughout the
year, and this has frequently been made a semi-preaching service. Many
SIAM— RAJABUREE. 205
of the patients have shoMn a good degree of interest in the teaching and
in the tracts and Scriptures distributed.
The medical assistant, Nai Dtoy, has shown enthusiasm for the work,
and marked devotion to the welfare of the patients.
As we close this reference to Dr. Thompson's special work for
the year, we are shocked and grieved by a cable announcing his
sudden death from cholera. A faithful, consecrated missionary
and physician, we keenly feel his loss, while his sudden death at
his post of duty far from his wife and little ones, who were in the
United States, appears tragic from a human view-point. It was
the death of a soldier, but of an eminently Christian soldier.
RAJABUREE STATION.
At the beginning of the year, Rajaburee was still a one-man
Station — and that man. Dr. Wachter, slowly convalescing from
a dangerous illness, which detained him for some time in Bang-
kok. The Eev. and Mrs. Lyman, who had just been appointed
to reinforce the Station, were still on their way across the Pa-
cific, arriving in Bangkok the last day of the old year, and at
Eajaburee a fortnight later.
The Eev. Boon Itt accompanied them and remained for six
weeks, rendering much needed assistance in the evangelistic and
school work, until duties elsewhere called him away.
The new missionaries gladly relieved Dr. and Mrs. Wachter
of so much of the work as it was possible for beginners to under-
take, and also applied themselves to the study of the language
and people with an energy and enthusiasm that gave promise
of great and increasing usefulness.
But, alas! the month of July found Mr. and Mrs. Lyman, Mrs.
Wachter and the children all prostrated at once by sickness,
culminating in the death of Mr. Lyman, only six months after
his arrival at the Station — for him a joyous and triumphant
entrance into rest and glory, but a sad blow to those who had
expected so much from his companionship and co-operation.
To fill the vacancy Mr. and Mrs. Cooper w'ere transferred from
Bangkok, Mrs. Lyman going to Petchaburee, where she heroic-
ally continues the study of the language. The exceptional amount
of sickness and frequent changes of management have necessa-
rily involved a considerable interruption of the work. But we
are now thankful to report all the members "able for duty."
EVANGELISTIC— There is no Church organization here as
yet, but Dr. Wachter has kept up the Sabbath-morning preach-
ing service in the chapel, superintended the Sabbath-school and
also taught a class.
Mr. Cooper has preached in various private houses across the
river, and at the neighboring villages of Bahn Pah andKoongKa
Teen. Many neighbors have attended these services who would
206 SIAM — RAJABUREE.
not have been reached by the preaching on the Mission Com-
pound.
ITINEEATIISTG. — Itinerating in the Eajaburee territory
has been limited to four days by Mr. Cooper among the villages
and farmhouses below Eajaburee, and a fortnight's tour by Dr.
Wachter and Mr. Lyman as far up the river as Kanburee. Three
hundred Christian tracts and 200 portions of Scripture have
been sold.
With never more than two men at this Station, commonly not
more than one, it has not been possible to give due attention to
itinerant work. There is a large territory beyond Kanburee
which has never received so much as a flying visit from any mis-
sionary, while even the nearer towns and villages have been
visited only at long and uncertain intervals. "We are hoping and
planning, however, for more of aggressive work next year in the
regions beyond.
EDUCATIO^TAL.— Mrs. W^achter was in charge of the Suri-
wong (boys') School until the beginning of August, when that
department was transferred to Mr. Cooper, and she has continued
in charge of the Girls' School throughout the year. Both are day-
schools only. Mrs. Wachter's long illness necessitated the closing
of the Girls' School in July and August. With this exception,
the schools have taken vacation only during the hot season,
v.'hich in Siam begins in March and continues till the May rains.
There are no free pupils in either school. The enrolment of the
Girls' School has been 24, which is about the same as last year;
but there has been a gain in regularity of attendance. The
enrolment of the Suriwong Boys' School has been 65.
Since May the boys' tuition fees have been doubled, but with-
out any appreciable withdrawal of patronage in consequence.
Nearly all the actual teaching in both schools is done by native
teachers, under missionary supervision. Two of these three
teachers are Christians, and the third seems "not far from the
kingdom."
One of the boys promoted to the Christian High School this
year has recently avowed his faith in Christ,
MEDICAL. — Dr. Wachter has charge of the medical work,
with such assistance only as Kroo Lue can render outside of
school hours. There being no hospital building, this work is of
course chiefly limited to dispensary practice, though 16 in-pa-
tients have been treated during the year. There have been 52
visits made to patients outside, and 1,372 prescriptions or sales of
medicine.
Dr. Wachter seeks to combine with his dispensary practice as
much as practicable of Christian teaching and the sale of Chris-
tian books.

The Laos Mission has been making an earnest and prayerful
effort to bring its work into closer harmony with approved prin-
ciples of ]\Iission policy, particularly in the self-support of the
native Church. Few outside the Mission-field can understand
the trial of faith and patience which this involves to both the
missionary and the native Christian. It really means a critical
transition period. If therefore the work appears to proceed
more slowly, it should be borne in mind that it is now moving on
distinctly better and on more healthful lines, and with far better
promise of stability and value. With this change, so prayerfully
undertaken, is very naturally coming a spiritual blessing, which
is already gladdening the hearts of the devoted workers. Let
the home Church not forget to pray that they may specially be
guided by God in their effort to build up a vigorous, self-sup-
porting, self-propagating native Church in Laos.
CHIUNG-MAI STATION.
MISSIOjSTAKY FOECE.— This has been weakened by the
transfer to Chiung-Hai of Mr. and Mrs. Dodd and Dr. and Mrs.
Denman. the absence on much needed furlough of the Misses

Griffin and McGilvary, and the prolonged illness of Miss Ghorm-
lej. A happy event was the marriage of Mr. Harris and Miss
C. H. McGilvary in Canton, November 3d, while the Station has
been reinforced by the transfer of Mr. Freeman from Nan. He
lias taken charge of the important work of the Mission Treasury,
EDUCATIONAL.— Boys' School.— Two terms have been
taught under the superintendence of Mr. Collins, assisted by five
native teachers — three of whom, however, were but last year's
advance pupils, who had to be pressed into service.
Though the school is now ten years old, it is not yet able to
supply many competent helpers and personal teachers. Most of
the boys receive but little encouragement from their parents,
and remain on an average only about two and one-half 5'ears.
Still some of the bo_ys have already become helpers in three of
the other Stations, while nine are employed all the time, and
four others a part of the time at Chiung-Mai.
During the first term there were 143 boys in attendance,
which was the largest enrolment since the founding of the
school. The last term there were but 96. This decrease was
due partly to the opening of a school by one of the leading
princes, who has made a special effort to draw in our boys, partly
to the fact that it was the busy season of the year, when many of
the boys are obliged to assist in raising the rice crop, and partly
to the pressure toward self-support. Of the 155 boys connected
with the school during the year, 130 came from Christian homes,
and eight united with the Church.
When word was received that the estimates had been so heav-
ily cut, a committee was appointed to lay the facts before the peo-
ple. To the surprise and gratification of all, they subscribed
rupees 500 — equal to 1,500 days' wages of an ordinary working-
man. This was enough to pay more than one-half of the ex-
penses of the two schools for the last term, exclusive of course
of missionaries' salaries.
Girls' School. — Miss Allie McGilvary and Mrs. Campbell
were assisted by three native teachers (all former pupils). Dur-
ing the first of the two terms the enrolment was the largest the
school has ever had, there being 102 pupils — 21 day-scholars and
81 boarders, the latter completely filling the dormitory. The
attendance the second term is never so large as the first; and last
year, owing to partial self-support being insisted upon, it was
only 54. But the missionaries had feared even a greater falling
off, as the appropriation for the school had to be cut one-half.
On the whole, the year's work is quite encouraging. The girls
have shov'n deep interest and, as a rule, have been faithful.
Among the 81 boarders there were only 12 who were not mem-
bers of the Church, and all of these were very small. In both
schools, the total enrolment for the year has been larger than in
2IO LAOS — CHIUNG-MAI.
any previous year, except last, and falls short of that by only 16.
Almost every Christian family, whether having children in
school or not, has contributed something to the support of the
school. The native contributions for this one term have been
seven times as great as for both terms of any previous year.
Theological Training-School. — Two sessions were held of a
month each, the first with an enrolment of 7, the second
with 21. Only two were students for the ministry, the
faint prospect of salaries from the Board's treasury diminishing
the number of candidates. The instructors were Dr. McGilvary,
Mr. and Mrs. Campbell, Kroo Punnya, and Dr. McKean.
During the second term, evangelistic work was done by most
of the students on each Sabbath without compensation, and
some students spent an hour or two in this work every day. So
long as it has a fair attendance, the school is able to instruct the
Christians of many villages through their minister, elder or
other Christian leader, and thus to exert a wide influence for
good.
MEDICAL. — The seven small wards have been full most of
the year, and many sick have been turned away for lack of room.
More than 30 capital surgical operations were performed. Pay-
ment is urged wherever practicable; and the receipts, as usual,
have exceeded the expenditures. Of course, however, a large
number receive gratuitous treatment. The hospital nurse, Ai
Keo, who came as a patient four years ago, is an admirable evan-
gelist.
He lives the Gospel daily amongst the sick, and is constant in the
study of the Bible, and constant also in teaching all who come into the
wards. By day and by night he watches the sick, and cares for them as
though they were of his own family. Seldom is practical Christianity so
well illustrated.
A religious service is held three nights of the week in the
Medical Eesidence and four nights on the Hospital veranda, the
latter in charge of native Christians. They have also organized
a Christian Endeavor Society, at whose meetings all have freely
taken part. An offering is made at every meeting, and the pro-
ceeds expended for the lepers and prisoners.
The work continues to enjoy the favor of both prince and peo-
ple. The chief of Chiung-Mai, who has so long been friendly to
our Mission work in general, and to the medical work in par-
ticular, has passed away, but before his death, he sent a gift of
1,000 rupees to aid the medical department. Dr. McKean
writes:
God has made the medical work a blessing to the bodies of many per-
sons during the past year. We trust that many souls have also been
truly blessed. Two patients have professed conversion and have united
LAOS — CHIUNG-MAI. 211
with the Church. Many have heard the Gospel, and -we hope and believe
that there will yet accrue a harvest from the sowing of the past year.
THE PEESS. — The tv>'o new presses which arrived a year ago
have given good satisfaction. Seven men have been employed
most of the time. More books have been sent out than in any
previous year; 2,339 portions of Scripture have been issued, and
5,580 copies of other publications, making a total of 7,919 por-
tions— more by 1,150 than last year. Most of these have been
sold, not given away. The receipts of the Press, including job-
work, have exceeded the expenditures by about 800 rupees. The
most important new publications are ''Old Testament History,"
'•'Life of Christ,'' the "Shorter Catechism" and a "Fourth
Reader."
EVANGELISTIC WOEK.— The First Church has been un-
der the special oversight of Mr. Campbell and Kroo Nantah.
There are ten places at which the Christians have met for wor-
ship in considerable numbers every Sabbath. Seven of these
have Sabbath-schools and Societies of Christian Endeavor, and
Chieng-Mai has two Senior C. E. Societies and one Junior C. E.
throughout the year, and usually a second Junior during the
school sessions. Six of the meeting-places are from 10 to 30
miles from the city. Sixty-four persons have been added to the
church on examination, and four on certificate. Fifty children
. have been baptized. A vigorous pruning of the roll was found
necessary, and has been made.
The Chieng-Mai Sabbath-school has been under the superin-
tendency of Mr. Harris, and has had a maximum attendance of
377 and an average attendance of 212. The Women's Mission
Society, under the direction of Mrs. McKean, has shown much
faithfulness. The contributions, amounting to 30 rupees (equal
to 90 days' wages of an ordinary laboring man), are for the em-
ployment of evangelists in heathen districts.
A neAv chapel has been built at South Orange, a village south of
the city. The entire cost was about 95 rujDces, besides 50 days'
work and some material. All this was contributed by the native
Christians, except 40 rupees in cash. In addition, the children
gave their labor in carrying the timbers and leveling the ground.
The chapel was dedicated September 13th, at the close of a
month of daily prayer-meetings held from house to house.
The ]\Iao Daw^ Deng Church has received two on examina-
tion, the Bethlehem Church six, the Maa Pookah Church four,
and the San Sai Church four. Nineteen children were baptized
in the last two churches.
Lampoon, by vote of the Mission, has now become an outsta-
tion of Chieng-Mai. The Church, under the care of Mr. Harris
with licentiate Chilunka as stated supply, enjoyed an increase
of 15 members on examination, and three on certificate. Ten
212 LAOS — PRAA.
children have been baptized. In addition to the preaching, Sab-
bath-school and C. E. services, a daily prayer-meeting has been
maintained. The Bethel and Wang Moon Churches received
eight and thirteen respectively on examination. The latter also
baptized seven children.
In August Mr. Freeman removed to Lampoon, and since that
time has given the churches of Lampoon, Bethel and Wang
Moon more careful oversight than was practicable for any one
living in Chieng-Mai. He has visited almost every family in the
Lampoon and Wang Moon churches.
OVEESIGHT OF CHUECHES.— At annual meeting last
year a Committee on Presbyterial Oversight was appointed, with
Dr. McGilvary as chairman. Visits have been made b}'' repre-
sentatives of this Committee, never less than two in number, to
each of the eight churches within the bounds of the Station.
The missionaries have thus obtained a clearer insight into the
condition of the churches and the work of the native ministry,
and have promoted a better understanding with the people.
NOETHEEN TOUE.— An extended tour was made by Drs.
McGilvary and Peoples into the territory under French and Chi-
nese rule beyond the Cambodia river. The objects were explora-
tion, distribution of Scrij)tures, and the preaching of the Gospel.
It was one of the most important tours ever taken under the
auspices of this Mission. A wide and interesting field was found,
and there were many ready listeners. In fact, at Muang Sai, the
most northern point reached, it seemed that a church could be
organized almost immediately.
In addition to this tour. Dr. McGilvary has prosecuted his
evangelistic work in the city and surrounding villages with his
customary diligence and success. Everywhere he has found a
ready welcome from both old friends and new, and almost always
an attentive ear for the Gospel story.
PRAA STATION.
Dr. and Mrs. Briggs, the first resident members of the Station,
removed to Lampoon in October, and Dr. Mary Bowman from
Nan took the medical work. In December Dr. and Mrs. Thomas
and Miss Hatch were transferred to Praa from Lakawn. Upon
their arrival they were glad to find that, while the missionaries
and the only elder were absent, the little band of Christians had
held regular meetings of Church and Sabbath-school.
THE CHUECH.— The Church has a membersliip of 63, of
whom 19 have been added during the year. Three new elders
have been ordained, making a session of four. The church has
contributed toward the support of an evangelist for work
LAOS — LAKAWN 213
throughout the province, and has kept the chapel and grounds
in repair. The prayer-meetings of the C. E. Society have been
held in adjacent villages, thus giving practical training in Chris-
tian work. Semi-weekly classes were held in several places by
Mr. and Mrs. Shields. Many learned to read, and several mem-
bers of these classes united with the church.
MEDICAL. — The GO Hospital in-patients do not represent the
number brought under Christian teaching. A patient is always
accompanied by from two to five relatives. By the physician
and the helpers, these have had the Gospel daily presented to
them; while many have carried it to their homes in literature
supplied by Mrs. Thomas. Of the 2,050 treated at the Dispen-
sary, nearly all have heard the Word of God.
EDUCATIONAL.— The day-school is still in the stage of
small things. Elementary and Christian teaching was given to
30 girls and boys for five months, but the attendance was some-
what irregular.
EVANGELISTIC— The work of Church, Hospital and
School is largely evangelistic; but special efforts have been
made in this line by many tours to villages far and near, and by
calls in palace, temples and homes. Hundreds of people have
visited the homes of the missionaries, where much teaching has
been done. Mr. and Mrs. Shields have conducted the services
each Sabbath, while Dr. and Mrs. Thomas and Miss Hatch, with
a company of eight or ten helpers, have held preaching services
in many places. Miss Hatch writes:
The field looking to this Station for the Light of Life contains not less
than 100,000 souls. In the face of this fact, our efforts seem puny. But
the Word of the Lord is not bound; and so, thanking Him for the many
blessings of the year, we will endeavor to press on.
LAKAWN STATION,
The year closes with the Station in a sound condition and with
a bright outlook, though at the beginning only two of the mem-
bers had a command of the language, and many of the native
workers were taken to other stations.
The Church, under Dr. Briggs, has had a good congregation —
not so large as on some occasions in the past, and yet regular. To
the session came the painful duty of suspending several members.
This they did in a quiet, prayerful spirit, having first exhausted
all their resources to bring back the erring ones. Six new mem-
bers have been received. Thus, while the number of names upon
the roll is not so large as a year ago, the church is purer and
healthier. It has caused many to realize that, to be called a
Christian they must live the Christian's life. The contributions
214 LAOS — LAKAWN.
have increased from 80 to 142 rupees. The Sabbath-school, un-
der Mr. Callender, has been studying the life of Christ chron-
ologically. The Christian Endeavor Society has completed the
study of the Epistle of James under the direction of Mrs. Crutis,
the Epistle being translated as needed by Dr. Briggs. This
study has resulted in the deepening of character and a wider
comprehension of spiritual things. In the preaching Kroo (Eev.)
Chi Ma has been faithful, and the people love and respect him.
His support was assumed and met by the Church.
EVANGELISTIC—
Owing to the change in the policy of paying men to go out to do
evangelistic work, to not paying for such Avork, there has not been so
much done along this line as heretofore. However, we have nothing
whatever to regret in our new policy, but feel rather the more sure of our
position, as by so doing we have worked the church up, and are now free
from any of the Board's money for such work. This also means more
voluntary work on the part of the eldership and church-members.
One of the elders sent on a tour to the northern j)art of the
province reported that everywhere he met with a hearty recep-
tion, and in places left portions of Scripture and the Catechism
with those who were desirous of knowing more of what he had
told them. Chee Home, the place suffering the most because of the
new policy of self-support, sent in cheering reports of the mani-
fested interest on the part of the Christians. The one elder liv-
ing there, while unable to read, yet wisely guides the people, and
sees that they are faithful to their church vows, and that they
worshijD with their substance.
At Lampang Kang, one of the elders who had been accus-
tomed to receive pay for evangelistic work in other places, enthu-
siastically tells of the large number of friends who attend his
family evening worship and listen to him expound the Scripture.
A most encouraging work is done by the native Christians in the
Station. About 25 go out every Sabbath afternoon, in compa-
nies or individually, to hold a song service in some heathen
home. This is followed with a Scripture talk, if the way be
open.
One Sabbath, while Dr. and Mrs. Briggs were at their evening meal, a
young woman came in and sat down on the floor near the table. After a
time, Dr. Briggs addressed her: "Well, Ea Pang"' (iliss Expensive), "what
is the matter?" Her face fairly glowed with pleasure as she told how
three houses had been visited by the company of which she was one, and
how the neighbors flocked in to hear the reading of God's word, the ex-
planations regarding the advent of the Only true God, and the singing of
praise to Him. "0 father Xourisher!" said Miss Expensive, "I am so
happy." This poor girl, once a slave, — ignorant, unhappy, down-trodden,
and in the bondage of sin and darkness,- — has been called into liberty,
and has learned the happiness of the liberty that by love serves one
another.
LAOS — LAKAWN. 215
The outstations are all encouraging. Even where there are
instances that for the moment would discourage, comfort is
found in the consistent life of some lowly follower. Mr. Curtis
writes:
At one place the most quiet and seemingly inactive man in the little
band of Christians had, on a journey to a distant village, so impressively
taught a stranger who happened to be traveling in the same direction
that in a short time the stranger came the distance of a day and a half's
journey, in order to learn more and to buy books. Such instances as these
are not infrequent, by any means.
MEDICAL. — The many duties of the physician, with only
untrained native assistants, have hampered this work. How-
ever, advance has been made. Often the in-patients were so
numerous that the woman's ward and servants' houses had to be
utilized. Nor were the outside calls few. The statistics are:
Dispensary cases 3,500
Hospital cases 135
Outside visits 700
Total 4,335
The receipts were 2,567 rupees. This does not include the
record of a three months' tour to the north, during which Dr.
Briggs traveled nearly 1,000 miles, and helped over 1,000 sick
people in 34 different places.
Self-support has been pushed, and a warm response met with.
Dr. Briggs speaks of it as follows:
A circular letter was addressed to the diflferent rulers, higher classes,
and trades-people, respectfully notifying them in regard to a schedule of
hours and fees. It was, without exception, pleasantly received, and has
done much to set ourselves right on these matters. The only trouble,
practically, in regard to self-support has been with some of the Christian
people (not to be wondered at), but we were firm and not without success;
for as a rule now, when a Christian comes for medicine, he does so like a
man with his money and self-respect, laying down the former and keeping
the latter.
This policy is, of course, insisted on only with those who are
able to pay. Many of the poor are freely treated.
A typical case was a poor slave, who, because of the ravages of fever,
had become perfectly helpless, and had been cast out by his master to die.
The open door of the hospital received him, and he now bids fair to
recover. He has been happy to acknowledge Christ as his Saviour, and
from a skeleton in sores and filth, he has become a clean and almost well
man and a firm believer in the Gospel of the God of love.
In October, Dr. Bowman arrived from Nan to relieve Dr.
Briggs for his long tour to the far north. In a short time she
has opened up a much-needed work among the women, who have
come to her, as they will not come to a male physician. By her
2l6 LAOS — CHIUNG-HAI.
skill and kindness, she has brought light and help into many
lives.
EDUCATIONAL.— The Boys' School, while not so large as
the previous year, had a more regular attendance, and the pupils
took a deep interest in their work. There was an increase in the
number of boarders, although only those who lived too far away
to walk in daily were furnished room and food. That was all
they received, however, no clothing or bedding being furnished;
though, to the poorer ones, a ten-cent coat was loaned, as was
done in the Girls' School.
The Girls' School had an increase in the number of pupils
over last year, and their progress was of a most gratifying char-
acter. The Industrial work in weaving, sewing, etc., which was
inaugurated by Miss Fleeson, was further developed with con-
tinued success, and there is now the beginning of a self-sustain-
ing Industrial Department in the school, the receipts about cov-
ering the expense.
Mr. Curtis enumerates the substantial grounds for thanksgiv-
ing, as follows:
That the Church has paid the full salary of its native minister, and
has assumed the entire expense of its native evangelist;
That, through the Christian Endeavor Society, we have procured the
Epistle of James in Laos;
That, through the Sabbath-school, we have a complete series of helps
and questions on the chronological life of Christ;
That we have self-support in the schools, save only furnishing food to
those from the out- villages ;
That self-support in the medical work has made that department a
source of revenue to the Board, and has given the people to clearly under-
stand that we are not here to make merit, as has been charged in the
past;
That the native Christians have been taught and trained in active
Christian work, several companies going out every Sabbath afternoon to
tell to the lost the Gospel Story.
CHIUNG-HAL
The work at this new Station, nine days' journey northeast of
Chiung-Mai, and reaching a population of 60,000 souls, has be-
gun most hopefully. The missionaries arrived in February,
1897. The two families are living in one house, which has a
temporary thatch roof and matting walls, but good teak frame
and flooring, and cost only 2,000 rupees, or less than $700. A
Hospital ward, accommodating 10 inmates, has been erected at
a cost of about 175 rupees, and a dispensary building and an ad-
joining rest-house will shortly be added, at an expense of about
300 rupees.
THE CHUECH. — There is encouragement in the growth of
the native Christians both in numbers and grace. Last year the
LAOS — CHIUNG-HAI. 21/
membership of the Chiung-Hai Church was reported as 139, but
a careful pruning of the roll reduced the number to 99; 18 adults
have been added since, making a total of 117. Five others have
been received as catechumens. Seventeen children have been
baptized.
OUTSTATIONS.— Most of the members of the Cheung Saan
Church live across the Cambodia river, in French territory. Mr.
and Mrs. Dodd have visited it, and four adults have been re-
ceived and four children baptized. There are at least 18 others
who have definitely accepted Christ, and who are now studying
for admission to the Church under the lead of two elders in the
village.
The Pa Pow Church, distant about four days' to the southwest
has lost several of its members, including one elder. The cause,
in every case, was sickness in the family and the employment of
spirit-doctors. With this exception, the three Churches under
charge of this Station have grown in numbers.
CHEISTIAN CHARACTER.— There is a decided change for
the better since the arrival of the missionaries. In the city is
an active Christian Endeavor Society, of about 30 members.
Each Sabbath afternoon several companies go out to preach and
teach. Mr. Dodd writes:
This voluntary, unpaid, evangelistic work, by two or three bands of
Christian Endeavorers under the direction of Dr. Denman, is one of the
finest things I have ever seen in this or any other land.
Across the Cambodia, the elders and many of the Christians
seem earnest and active. Last year 14 inquirers were reported
from the village of Meh Kawn, Of this number, however, only
four have been admitted.
One of the elders has said that, if the missionaries would obtain for
the Christian exemption from government work, the whole neighborhood
would enter the religion. That, however, is not the kind of Christianity
we teach. The activity of the Christians has also been shown in the mat-
ter of systematic giving. We have endeavored to teach this duty, having
as the end the support of all native agents by native funds. That portion
of the Chiung Saan Church across the Cambodia has erected a iieat chapel,
valued at about 50 rupees, and the whole Church has contributed twelve
rupees, and in addition 45 buckets of rice and some tobacco.
At the beginning of the year, the Pa Pow Christians agreed to
contribute to the support of the native minister 180 baskets of
rice, valued at about 30 rupees. One of the Chiung Saan elders
has given one-tenth of his rice crop.
OPPORTUlSriTY. — Another sign of promise is the accessibil-
ity of the people. Mr. Dodd, who has been nine years on the
field and in several different provinces, says he has never seen
2l8 LAOS — NAN.
such readiness to listen and to open heathen homes to services
of song and exhortation.
In May, the cremation of a deceased prince was the occasion of the
assembling of several thousand people. We seized the opportunity, and
asking permission to erect a tent, were invited by the authorities to do so
on a spot near the funeral-pyre. Here, for three days, services were held,
attended usually by crowds. The Siamese Commissioner and many of the
princes were present, and some of them told the people not to fear to
receive our books or to enter the religion, if they so saw fit. Nearly all
our tracts were given out, and several thousand heard the Gospel for the
first time. Now few refuse books when offered, and the Sabbath evangelis-
tic bands usually find willing listeners.
MEDICAL. — The medical work has increased from the first.
Two thousand one hundred and eighty-five prescriptions have
heen made, and 575 different persons have received a dispensary
ticket, with the words of John iii: 16 printed on the hack. Many
have also received tracts or parts of the Scriptures. Each person
is requested to give something in payment for his medicine. In
this way 351 rupees have been received. Twelve in-patients have
been treated and six major operations performed. The physi-
cian has made over 500 calls at the houses of the people, and
wherever opportunity offered has told of the Great Physician.
Some of the patients have come 10 days' journey for treatment,
and received more than they sought. Wherever the foreign
medicine goes, the Gospel more readily follows.
OFFICIAL FAYOE.— The princes and officials of the prov-
ince have cordially subscribed toward a Hospital and Dispensary
about 175 rupees, besides a quantity of timber and roofing-tile.
Some of them have also attended Sabbath-services from time to
time, especially the Siamese Commissioner. This gentleman
has been unceasing in the courtesy and assistance he has ex-
tended.
LITEEAEY WOEK.— In addition to all his other work, Mr.
Dodd has completed his revision of Mr. Wilson's translation of,
the Book of Genesis. He writes:
This is my first Scripture translation, and you can sympathize with me
in the growing joy and enthusiasm with which it has been pursued.
Genesis is now a new book to me.
NAN STATION.
During Dr. People's absence on his northern tour. Miss Flee-
son, with the assistance of an elder from Lakawn, took charge
of the Church and evangelistic work of the Station. For the
last three months of the year Dr. Bowman was recalled to
Lakawn to relieve Dr. Briggs for a tour through the British ter-
ritory. But in spite of these changes, the regular church ser-
LAOS — NAN. 219
vices were maintained and the attendance was uniformly good,
the meetings being held in a private residence. Six adults and
two children were baptized and seven adults were received by
letter — making the church consist of 34 adults and nine chil-
dren.
The Sabbath-school was reorganized and officered wholly by
native Christians. The number of scholars was 36. A teachers'
meeting was maintained, and the majority of the adult members
of the school were in attendance. The contributions of the
School were 39 rupees, and those of the church 134 rupees.
The Christian Endeavor Society was profitably conducted
during the year by the native membership. The growing famil-
iarity of its members with the Scriptures and their understand-
ing and appreciation of its teachings are very gratifying. Fif-
teen new members have been received into the Society, making
the present number 31.
The evening worship at the residence of the missionary was
attended by almost the whole adult membership of the church.
For a portion of the year, two evenings of the week at this hour
were given to the systematic study of music. It was surprising
and gratifying to see with what zeal the people took hold of this
study, and what commendable progress was made.
Evangelistic. — a tour of three weeks was made by one
of the elders of this Church and a native helper from Lakawn to
the southwestern portion of the province. The teachers were
kindly entertained by the people, and had interested listeners
among all classes. They were allowed, and in several instances
were requested, to hold services in private houses. One of the
large villages sent the elders an invitation to visit it, and the
whole population formed the very attentive congregation.
Books were left at every town. Another tour of ten days was
made by Dr. Bowman and Miss Fleeson to two important villages
in the southern portion of the province.
They had their tent set up in what was supposed to be a very infectious
spirit locality. After the terror caused by this mad invasion had some-
what worked off the people, they came freely to visit the missionaries, and
they in turn had freer access to all the homes of the villagers. While the
ladies were still in possession of this stronghold of Satan, the monstrous
spirit confessed to the people, through a medium, that they need never
be afraid of him any more ; he would do them no more evil ; he could not
withstand the spirit of the religion of Jesus, and he was going away to
another region. The expressions of the gratitude of the people to the
missionaries were truly pathetic. Within the last few weeks one of our
elders accompanied the governor of the province as far as Lalt on his
journey to Bangkok, and the boatmen who were citizens of those towns
would come almost every night to the elders about our camp-fire, for the
reading of the Scriptures and to listen to conversation about this new
Faith.
220 LAOS — NAN.
At the beginning of the year, no provision had been made for
any educational work in the Station. But in February, Miss
Fleeson started a class for boys and girls, which soon numbered
15 pupils, and was continued till November. The cost to the
Mission was only six rupees. Miss Fleeson also conducted a
night class for adults, and a weekly afternoon class of women
who wished to learn to read. This class soon became a woman's
prayer-meeting.
MEDICAL. — For the first four months of the year, Dr. Bow-
man had entire charge of the incipient medical work. She be-
gan with a vigorous application of the pay system in dispensing
drugs. It was a severe test of the natives' appreciation of for-
eign medicines, and a sore trial to the doctor's nerves; but it
was successful. The receipts increased from 10 rupees a month
at the beginning of the year to 80 rupees at the close. There
have been comparatively few hospital cases, because there were
no accommodations for receiving them. Those who did come
had to bring their own bamboo and grass, and build their own
shanties. Such applicants as could not undertake this task the
doctor was obliged to reject. In such circumstances, of course,
only a few surgical operations were performed.
Dr. Peoples writes:
The fruits of our year's labor seem to be meagre in their tangible re-
sults; but our Mission establishment consists of an indifferent native
house for a residence, and the missionary workers are those whose energies
are distinctly lagging because of prolonged residence in this debilitating
climate.
But though few names were added to the church-roll, we are not dis-
couraged. There are indications of influences abroad which may not be
designated by figures. The more conspicuous among these are: the grow-
ing kindly attitude of the people, both high and low, toward the mission-
aries, and the decided conquest of the Christian cause over the world of
spirits who rule the land with a rod of iron. Wherever the missionary
goes, the perfect unconcern with which he is able to invade these regions
of terror is a revelation to the people — so much so that they distinctly
look to the missionary, to the Christians for release from their hard
masters. The governor himself, announced at a public dinner that the
spirits are not so fierce as they were a few days ago; and that the country
is much better in this regard than it used to be.
After the above words were written. Miss Fleeson's health be-
came so seriously impaired that the Mission found it necessary
to send her to the United States. She is a faithful and efficient
missionary, and many prayers will be offered for her recovery.

BAHIA.
Eev. J. B. Kolb has confined his worlc to the congregation in
Bahia and the local community, having more or less oversight
over the Protestant day-school. He has been permitted to re-
ceive four persons to the communion of the Church, and four
children have been baptized. Some neighborhood meetings
have been held.
The schools, according to Mr. Kolb's report, have numbered
65 pupils. Four persons are named as having shared in the work
as teachers most of the time. The schools at the Bra Viagene
Factory have been prosperous. In November a kindergarten
with 25 children was opened. These schools are under the lib-
eral patronage of a citizen warmly interested in Protestant edu-
cation. The chief, if not the entire expense, is borne by him.
LARANGEIRAS.
At Larangeiras missionary work has been carried on by Eev.
C. E. Bixler, who has been but little over a year in the field, for
which reason his chief attention has been necessarily devoted
to language study. He has also superintended the local school
work since February, 1897, in the place of Eev. W. E. Finley,
who has since returned home on furlough. Since July Mr. Bix-
ler has conducted religious services, for the first two months
reading printed sermons. Since September he has prepared his
own discourses. He has made two journeys into the interior of
the State, preaching at five different points. He has visited
Larangeiras once in every two weeks, as a rule, occasionally re-
turning to Larangeiras to conduct services in the evening. The
capital, Aracaju, has received a visit once in two months. Thus

CENTRAL BRAZIL — FEIRA DE SANTA ANNA. 223
far he has conducted services at eight different points. This is
a good record. During the six months since he began his aggres-
sive work he has baptized six children. Though none have made
profession of their faith, several have expressed their desire to
do so, but have been advised to wait until a better knowledge
of the language shall enable Mr. Bixler to instruct them more
fully.
In some of the Stations and outstations he finds discourage-
ments, but in the principal places a goodly number besides the
families of the believers attend the services.
The Boys' School in Larangeirs has enrolled about 50 pupils,
some of whom came from families who were a little while ago bitter
opponents, but now are among the most loyal friends and supporters.
During the last j'ear four of the pupils professed their faith, one of whom
same from a strong Roman Catholic family, but had the consent of her
parents. Another pupil from a Catholic family wishes to profess her
faith in Christ, having obtained the consent of her parents. Still others
have been very sensibly affected by the Gospel, and give promise of con-
version in the not distant future. The coming year promises to be the
best in the history of the school.
Miss Hough's report of her school work is, on the whole,
equally encouraging with that of Mr. Bixler. She says:
In February I took charge of the boarding departments for boys and
girls, in addition to the regular school work, to await the arrival of a
matron or the return of INIr. and Mrs. Finley.
Very nobly Miss Hough has continued on past the time for
her furlough, in order to keep the school in progress until Mr.
and Mrs. Finley shall return. But she speaks of great fatigue
and the need of her well-deserved rest.
On Thanksgiving Day public examinations were held in the
school, and the marked approval of the public was shown in the
articles published in the State papers. Five or sx hundred peo-
ple attended the entertainment.
In closing. Miss Hough says:
Former persecutors of the cause have sent their children to our school
the past year, and show themselves won over. So may all the enemies
of Christ ue conquered !
FEIRA DE SANTA ANNA.
At Feira de Santa Anna, Eev. G. W. Chamberlain, D.D., vet-
eran of the missionary force in Brazil, has maintained religious
services twice on Sabbath and once mid-week. The attendance
has been such as to indicate considerable interest, though no
Church organization has as yet been formed. The Station work
is as yet in its infancy. A Sunday-school has been organized
and is well maintained.
Dr. Chamberlain has made two extensive tours to distant parts
224 SOUTHERN BRAZIL.
of the State. On one of these he was permitted to receive two
persons to the membership of the Church. He has been actively
engaged in a discussion in one of the papers with the local Cath-
olic priests — a kind of work in which, at different times, in his
missionary history he has accomplished good. Fortunately, one
of the local newspapei-s opens its columns to him freely for the
dissemination of Gospel truth as seen from the Protestant stand-
point.
Arrangements have been made for the opening of a school in
July, 1898, under the direction of Miss Christine Chamberlain,
who was appointed during the year, and is busily engaged in per-
fecting herself in the Portuguese language. Much interest is
shown by residents, some in high social position, in the prospec-
tive opening of this school.

The field reports from the Mission Churches in the Southern
Brazil Mission furnish but little material for that of the Board
to the General Assembly.
The four American missionaries on the ground (Eev. J. B.
Eodgers being at home on furlough) have maintained Sabbath
services and a week-day prayer-meeting in their respective and
widely scattered fields. The fruitfulness of these fields seems to
be in the ratio of distance from seaboards or the great commercial
centres, and the report thus serves to emphasize the impor-
tance of evangelistic work in the more destitute portions of the
countrv. In those districts where our Missions have been Ions:-

est prosecuted, and where an excellent work has been done in the
past, the Brazilian Churches are now for the most part self-sup-
porting as well as self-governing, under the direction of their own
Presb3'teries and the Synod of Brazil. The work which seems
the most hopeful for the future is that of frontier evangelization.
The Brazilian Churches need, help in the prosecution of this ag-
gressive work, which they themselves with laudable zeal are striv-
ing to promote as a Home ]\Iission work. The opportunities for
evangelization throughout the wide extent of country in which
Protestant preaching is unknown is almost without limit, and no
form of effort seems more promising of results. The Brazilian
Church is making great efi'orts to train up well-qualified evan-
gelists to enter the opening field. The American pastors of
churches have done more or less preaching at outstations. This
oversight of the various work scattered, over wide districts of
country would seem to be the work most clearly demanding the
attention of missionaries.
Dr. Kyle reports as follows:
Preaching services have been maintained three times each week at
Xovo Friburgo. San Jos de Riheirao has been visited once a month.
Itaocara, Cantagallo, Lunicar and Barra Alegere have been visited.
There is no Mission Church at Friburgo. Many of Dr. Kyle's--
hearers belong to a local German church. He has spent ten days
in Eastern Minas preaching almost daily. He reports two per-
sons received on profession and one by letter during the year.
He has also attended to the duties of mission treasurer.
Mr. Landes writes:
Besides my work in Curityba, I visited the village of San Jose three
times; also the Church at Itaqui three times during the year. Two new
members united with the Itaqui Church, and contributions were given
by the people amounting to about $150. The Church at Curityba has
shown a good deal of strength and a laudable aggressive spirit. Within
the last three or four years it has erected an attractive and substantial
church building, with only partial aid from the Board. It now contem-
plates calling a native pastor, whom it will support. Three elders and
three deacons were installed during the year. A Mission Band under the
direction of the women of the Church holds monthly meetings and evinces
considerable spirit.
Mr. Landes has received ten persons to the Curityba Church
and. eight others at outstations. Meanwhile, he speaks of the
redoubled zeal of the Eoman Catholics in and around Curityba,
where they are holding an increased number of religious services,
for the benefit of the young as well as the old, and are greatly in-
creasing their work of education.
One of the encouragements attending Protestant missions in
the Spanish and Portuguese American States is the fact that,
over and above the number of converts actually gathered in the
Protestant Churches, a quickening and elevating influence ii
226 SOUTHERN BRAZIL.
exerted upon the Eonian Catholic jDriesthod and Church mem-
bership.
Eev. G. L. Bickerstaph, at Castro, has been more or less occu-
pied during the year in the erection of a new church edifice — a
work in which his people are showing a laudable interest. He
reports having endeavored to visit three outstations once in three
months, and has made one visit to a fourth Station. He has re-
ceived 12 persons to the Castro Church on profession, and bap-
tized 26 children.
Eex. T. F. Lenington, at Guarapuava, has been permitted to
baptize 1 8 converts, and 40 members having had connection else-
where have been set over to his Church by the Presbytery, mak-
ing a total membership of 130.
These, he says, are scattered over an area some seventy miles square,
rendering pastoral instruction a little difficult.
An encouraging feature of his work is the holding of religious
services conducted by church-members in various small places,
while at the same time requests are made to visit other centres
in which no church membership has as yet been enrolled. In
one small community lumber has been purchased and work be-
gun upon a chapel. Mr. Landes says: "During the year I have
preached 160 sermons."
No report has been received from Eev. Sr. ]\Ienezes in Southern
Minas, but in other years he has been specially successful.
Eev. M. T. B. de Carvalhosa gives the following report of his
work at Sao Paulo:
The Second Presbyterian Church of Sao Paulo has been under my
pastoral care during the year. Divine worship has been conducted three
times a week. The Lord's Supper was celebrated five times. Twelve per-
sons were received on profession of their faith, and seven by letter. Five
children were baptized and six members dismissed to other congregations.
'Ine average of Sunday-school pupils was CO. The collections amount to
about 2,400 mil reis. The actual number of communiciints is 51, of whom
8 are absent. The spiritual condition of the Church is encouraging.
I have been also teaching in the American school and MacKenzie Col-
lege 12 hours a week, and have conducted the devotional closing exercises
of the American school.
EDUCATION.— Although the educational work at Sao Paulo
is not under the direction of the Board, it is a very important
factor in the total of missionary influence in Brazil. The
Board has contributed the salaries of the President, two
professors, and two lady teachers, the institution in all its
departments being under the immediate and independent direc-
tion of a Board of Trustees residing in the United States.
Though no formal report has been received by the Board, yet
various communications from the members of the faculty show
a greater efficiency and a more successful work than have ever
been attained before. The attendance is full to overflowing, and
SOUTHERN BRAZIL. 22/
some of the letters indicate no little religious interest among the
pupils. The Board has reason to believe that larger attention is
given to religious instruction and influence than the average in
recent years.
The American Girls* School at Curityha has suiTered from two
causes — first, the absence of JMiss Ella Kuhl on furlough; and,
second, the very severe retrenchments in the Board's appropria-
tions. Faithful work, however, has been done by Miss Dascomb,
assisted by Miss Effie Lcnington. The curtailment of funds has
necessitated severe restriction in the admission of pupils. And
it seems likely that for the present the plans of the institution
must be somewhat restricted, fewer pupils admitted, and possibly
fewer grades of instruction maintained, until a more generous
support can be given. During the year, as always, a large meas-
ure of Scriptural instruction has been given, and a most positive
and uncompromising Protestant religious influence has been ex-
erted.
In reporting the work of the Brazil Missions to the General
Assembly, reference may properly be made to the triennial meet-
ing of the Synod of Brazil, which was held in September, 1897,
at which discussion arose concerning the educational work of the
Sao Paulo Presbyterian College, and its relation to the Board of
Foreign Missions.
No English report of the action of the Synod has come to the
Board, but, from communications made to some of the American
weekly religious papers, it appears that the following action was
addressed by Synod to the Presbyterian General Assemblies,
Northern and Southern, in the United States:
Whereas, There is urgent need for evangelization in the whole ten-i-
tory of our Synod, and many fields are open which we cannot supply with
the means of grace;
Whereas, Immense sums have been spent on large schools of various
kinds as a means of spreading the Gospel;
Whereas, There has been an almost complete failure on the part of
these institutions in Brazil, both for propagating the faith and preparing
Gospel ministry;
Whereas, They have been a cause of continued strife and bitterness,
and at times have deprived us of the full support and sjanpathy of our
brethren in North America, —
Be it resolved, That we, the Synod of the Presbyterian Church in
Brazil, respectfully recommend and beg the General Assemblies of our
mother-churches, that any help they wish to give us be in the direction of
aiding us in the great work of evangelization by the most direct methods,
including the education and preparation of a ministry, in accordance with
the plans of the Synod; and in the support of parochial schools for the
children of believers.
This action was participated in by nearly all the representa-
tives of the Brazilian Church, and by a majority of the mission-
aries of the Southern Board, but was indorsed by only one repre-
sentative of this Board. On the other hand, a protest was pre-
228 SOUTHERN BRAZIL.
sented, signed hy all the present members of the Mission of the
Northern Board with one exception, by two members of the Mis-
sion of the Southern Church, and by two or three representatives
of the Brazilian Church. The protest was as follows:
"V^^lile agreeing heartily with the resolution of the Synod respecting
the absolute need of parochial schools wherever there is a church, and
of the urgent and imperative need of promoting the education and prepa-
ration of a ministry to supply the means of Grace to the numerous
fields opened in ail the territory of the Synod, we are nevertheless
obliged to protest energetically and categorically against the second and
thii'd and fourth preambles, which contemplate the withdrawal of the
support of the parent-churches from the large boarding and day schools,
colleges, etc. We cannot accept the view that such institutions do not
directly and poM'erfully contribute to the spread of the faith and the
preparation of an evangelical ministry. On the contrary, we are con-
vinced that if the parent-church had not established such institutions in
the i^ast, or if she fail to recognize them in the future (and support
them), the native Church will be obliged to fill the fatal gap between
the parochial school and the seminary, by creating just such institutions,
with grave loss to the funds of Home Missions, and consequent embarrass-
ment of the Direct Method spoken of in the resolutions.
The action of the Synod, with the protest, will be pre-
sented to the General Assembly. So far as secular education
has been introduced, it has been in accordance with the prolicyof
this Board not only, but of all or nearly all, the great missionary
organizations of the world. And such education has been con-
ducted and maintained with the belief that, while the conversion
of men is the great end to be sought, and that the evangelistic
work must now, as in the Apostolic days, hold a most important
part, yet in the broad estimate of the total of missionary influ-
ence to be brought to bear upon any people, and especially those
already possessed of a high civilization, there must be an educa-
tional training which shall be thoroughly abreast with the times.
This is all-important, if Protestantism would present and main-
tain the prestige which can give it efficacy and power. V/here
such education is thoroughly imbued with the Spirit of the Gos-
pel, schools of whatever grade may prove to be the most fruitful
fields for direct spiritual harvests.

SANTIAGO STATION.
The Eev. Francisco Diez has been installed as pastor of the
Spanish Church. He thinks there has been an improvement in
spiritual life. A good deal of his attention has been given to the
temperance work, and he reports that the Temperance Society
has received more than 60 members, the larger part of whom
liave become members of the Church or congregation. In regard
to the country at large, he reports:
This land is being more and more convinced of the errors of the Papacy
and of the superiority of the Gospel over the instructions of the Churcu.
But conviction of sin and conversion are yet hard to acomplish.
Dr. Allis has made long itinerating trips to the south and to
the north, and was well received everywhere, although there was
some opposition in San Fernando and Curico. He writes:
There is a special reason why such trips should be repeated. There
are in various towns in the south ma»y Spiritists, and the Sabatistas
have also gone to some of these places. The first group are counted
as evangelicals, by the general public, and the second group are received
well till they oegin to preach "Sabatismo," or the observance of Satur-
day for the rest-day, and teach the necessity of ecclesiastical feet- washing,
and also affirm me doctrine of soul-sleeping.
229
230 CHILI — VALPARAISO.
Many who hear the Gospel they preach at first are drawn to the truth,
but are soon discouraged by the erroneous elements in their preaching.
To make the matter worse, many suppose that not only the Spiritists are
evangelical, but suppose that these Sabatistas are sent out by our Mis-
sion. Hence the importance of more frequent visits. Besides all this,
the absence of sufficient workers makes it important that these places be
visited as frequently as possible, till groups can be formed, and lay-
workers resident can be put in charge.
A magic-lantern has been of great value on these trips.
INSTITUTO INGLES.— During the year the Institute has
been reorganized, Mr. Christen withdrawing after many years of
earnest service and removing to Europe, and the Mission placing
the institution under the charge of Dr. Browning. New plans
were made and the school was renamed "Institute Ingles," and
reopened March, 1898. The object of the Board is to make the
school thoroughly missionary and evangelistic, and to have re-
gard for quality rather than quantity in the educational work
carried on.
During the year one student has been engaged in theological
studies.
THE ENCxLISH CHUECH, of which the Eev. J. C. Wilson
is pastor, has steadily diminished the amount of assistance asked
from the Mission. There is an attendance of about 100 at the
Sunday morning service, and 70 at the Sunday-school. Mr.
Wilson names four great difficulties in the work: The Anglican
spirit, the sectarian view of some, the temporar)'^ sojourn of
many of the people, and lastly, sheer sin and worldliness in many
professed believers. The Church now has a membership of 45.
VALPARAISO STATION.
THE SHELTERING HOME has had a larger number of in-
mates than ever, reaching 35. The lady directors continue to
take a most active interest in the welfare of the children. These
are well cared for by the same matron as last year, who has shown
herself the most capable woman we have ever had in this insti-
tution.
Albert Moran, the pastor of the Church, has preached alter-
nately with Mr. Garvin, and reports an average attendance of
about 170, and the Christian Endeavor Society with an attend-
ance of from 50 to 70 at the Monday night prayer-meetings.
Sixteen new members have been added to the church. In Los
Andes, Senor Moran reports:
There is much ignorance and superstition among the poorer classes,
who are the ones who for the most part attend our meetings. Some of
these poor creatures kneel in the street and bow their heads to the ground
when the parish priest passes carrying the host. The opposition of this
priest, publicly manifested to the people, caused some to leave off coming
CHILI — COPIAPO. 231
to our gatherings. Still, in tlie last meeting, held in December, there
were 45 in attendance, who listened with reverent attention. There are
three converted men there, one of whom, a carpenter, rose in the meeting
and spoke earnestly of regeneration by faith in Christ.
"The Escuela Popula" has continued its work during the year,
with an attendance of 200 pupils.
"Tlie EI Heraldo Evangelico/' the religious paper of the Mis-
sion, has appeared with a weekly issue of from 2,200 to 2,300.
COPIAPO STATION.
Of the work of the city of Copiapo, Mr. Lowe reports:
The weekly preaching service has averaged 49; the Sabbatu-school
has averaged 38, one-third being adults; the weekly prayer-meeting has
had an average of 34. The first half of this meeting has sometimes been
led by one of the three members, who seem competent. We have main-
tained a day-school, the report of which is to ue lound on a separate
sheet. We have had a ladies' benevolent society, called the "Soeiedad
Protectora de la Infancia." They have helped the poor, especially those
who are the household of faith. The poverty of Copiapo is extreme;
times are hard, wages low, work scarce. The people live by miracles, as
the Rev. Francisco Diex would say. There are two views current as re-
gards benevolence; first, the Copiapinos being liars, thieves, deceivers,
hypocrites, imposters, cheats and pretenders, no one but a green foreigner
would give them anything. This is the commonly accepted doctrine.
The second view is very rare, and commonly ridiculed — that a Christian
should have something to give to the needy. The Soeiedad Pretectora de
la Infancia received contributions from about twenty subscribers. These
women are well informed (so says Mrs. Lowe) upon the genealogical
tables of Copiapo, and the innermost thoughts, motives and character of
every one who applies for help; and when an appropriation bill passes
their parliament, it is done in a glare of information and wisdom. Mrs.
Lowe thinks that the society does perhaps more good as an educational
measure for its own members than as a means of charity.
The spiritual condition of the Church has been one of quiet growth.
Nine have been admitted to membership. It is far from being what it
should be, and we think more pastoral attention is needed. The resi-
dent missionary will please take note. So much for the Spanish work
in the church. We have done a little work looking toward the great
world outside, distributing tracts on the street, seeking subscribers for
the "Heraldo," selling some few books, and helping Dr. Allis in a series
of lantern-meetings; the attendance at these meetings being, by actual
count, from 150 the first night to 500 the last night.
Mr. LoAve has endeavored, as have all the missionaries in Chili,
to discharge their responsibilities toward the foreign population
living near them, greatly needing a little spiritual stimulus and
assistance.
The Church was formally organized in Taltal, the second port
to the north of Copiapo, by Dr. Allis and Mr. Lowe in June.
Two elders and three deacons were ordained, ten were received
by profession, and ten by certificate, the elders having charge of
the meeting.
232 CHILI — CHILLAN.
At Chanaral, Mr. Lowe reports:
This is the first port to the north, Wxth a population of about 2,000.
This group is a year and a half old. It organized as a Christian En-
deavor Society last oune. It has been under the care of two women, who
were truly converted, and who kr.ow the secret of the Lord. At present,
the brother of one of these young women conducts the services and reads
sennons. About fiiceen have asked that they be organized by the Pres-
bytery into a church.
In many other mines and ports to the north there are little
groups which ]\Ir. Lowe and Dr. Allis have visited.
Of the school, the report says:
We have held a day-school throughout the year. Fifty-eight have
matriculated dui'ing the year. It has been a battle field; fanaticism, pov-
erty and laziness have preyed upon the Hock, we closed with 28 schol-
ars. They have sifted out, into the nucleus of a good school. The parents
are more or less evangelized. The school is held in the chapel, the benches
being removed to make room for the services — an inconvenience, but the
pupils quickly do the work.
Of the work at Tocopilla, one of the licentiates, Eobert El-
phick, reports:
The school has an attendance oi 20. To the night classes, which take
place three times a week, about 15 have attended. The school is kept
up by the voluntary donations of the pai'ents. Twenty dollars a month
are paid by the teacher.
This year many persons liaAe decided to accept the Gospel, though
only 11 have persevered to this date.
The Hospital has been ^isited regularly, and flowers and books have
been lent to the sick. It has been spoken to them of the great salvation
of Jesus Christ.
At the Nitrate "Works at Santa Fe, Buena Esperanza, Santa
Ysabel, and Pegrina many men gather to hear the Gospel. At
the last place there is now no work going on. The meetings
held in the large workmen's dining-room have had an attendance
of 40, 60 and SO persons.
CHILLAN.
Mr. Spining, while learning the language, has also thrown
himself earnestly into the work of this Station, for which he and
Mrs. Spining have been made responsible. Mr. Spining writes:
Xot\\-ithstanding the written sermons and the bad pronunciation of a
foreigner, which manj' — especially the writer — feared would be their
ruin, the average attendance for the year has been a little less than 60 —
a gain of 25 per cent. Many of the new ones who attend regularly
belong to a higher class of people than we have been reaching. Twenty-
two members were received, two by letter. Of those received on pro-
fession, five were members of the advanced class in the day-school, and
four belonged to the congregation of Parral. The total membership is 66,
including those living m Parral. Xot more than half the members are
now residents of Chilian. There were 18 baptisms. Two members were
excommunicated for leading immoral lives.
CHILI — CHILLAN. 233
The outstations reached have been Parral, San Carlos, a town
of 5,000 people, six leagues north of Chilian; Linares, a town
of 13,000, and Talca, a city of 30,000, and Bulnes, seven
leagues south of Chilian, a town of 4,000 people. At San Carlos
Meetings have been held all the year. For four months in the house
of a German family, who helped much in breaking the ice, and securing
us an entrance. Upon the removal of this family, a room was rented on
the opposite side of the street from the house of the parish priest, from
whose precincts an occasional stone or stale egg has found its way to
the door of our preaching place also. The priest himself has been untir-
ing in hurling his anathemas against us, and as a result we have gen-
erally had our room well filled with very little advertising on our part.
We consider two persons there converted as the result of this work, and
the attendance and interest shown give promise of larger results in the
near future.
Mr. Spining adds, in the close of his report:
Our itinerating work has cost a great deal of time, a great deal of
strength, and a good sum of money; but the year's experience nas taught
us that this feature of the Nevius plan, already adopted by many of the
Stations, of reaching all the points of a given region, by radiating
from some central point within it, is admirably adapted to Chili, and
the only speedy and econondcal way to accomplish her evangelization.
So, whatever other branches may be curtailed, let the appropriation for
itinerary work for each Station be as large as the working force can
wisely expend.
Of the Women's Work, Mrs. Spining writes:
Dvring the year, the meetings were held on Thursday — a time most
convenient for the women. The first part was a prayer-meeting, and the
second part was a discussion of the subject for the week. Such topics
were taken up as "Gossip," "The Duty of Wives to Husbands," "Spir-
itual Care of Our Children," "Our Duties to One Another as Christians,"
"Our Duties to those who are not Christians," "Cheerfulness in the
Home," "Cleanliness in the Home," etc. The attendance was from 20 to
35, and the women seemed really interested. One meeting, which pleased
them very much, was a practical lesson in how to make home attractive
vath little expense. There was collected into one room all the cheap
home-made furniture that was available; covered boxes to serve as
dressing-tables, bureaus, etc. The women were permitted to examine
them, and to take patterns at will. One remarked afterward, "Such sim-
ple things, and yet we had never thought of them!" I know that this
lesson has come to a practical effect.
I feel sure that the work has not been without fruit. One woman
said: "I see that we do many things wrong, but how could we know a
better way? Our mothers knew no better way, and who else would teach
us?" Many acknowledged that the meetings had helped them; and one
man, an elder in the Church, said: "I hope that nothing will put a stop
to these meetings. I know that they do my wife good, for our home has
been better already because of them."
When the Station was reorganized, Mr. Kuom, one of the Ger-
man teachers, removed to Chilian to engage in evangelistic work,
of which he writes:
234 CHILI — CONCEPCION.
God be thanked that I have found everywhere, in the preaching-places,
in the railroads and hotels, not only attentive ears, but also sore hearts
hungering for salvation. And if formerly I at times asked myself, "la
this evangelistic work necessary in Chili?" I can now say with firm con-
viction, in view of the multitude of superstitions, immoralities and mis-
eries which exist for the lack of the pure Gospel, "Yes, it is more than
necessary."
A Girls' School was begun with 12 pupils, and closed with 46^
under the charge of Mrs. Meyer and Mr. Kuom.
CONCEPCION.
Mr. Schmalhorst had charge of the Concepcion Station, living
in a Chilian family, until transferred to Santiago to assist in the
Instituto. Mr. Schmalhorst, in December, 1897, was married to
Miss Nora Allis, the eldest daughter of Dr. Allis.
The attendance on the services nearly doubled during the
year. Of a visit to Penco, Mr. Schmalhorst writes:
At least 250 people were in attendance each night. Bibles were sold,
tracts were distributed to the number of about 1,500. There were pri-
vate conferences after each meeting. The teacher of the public school
came to the hotel for two conferences, and brought his catechisms and
histories; he desired to know "the true religion." There is a family of
five members, Protestants, in which there has not been a Bible since 1870.
The factories and elevators give employment to hundreds of men.
COLOMBIA MISSION.
Bogota: the capital of the country; situated on an elevated plain; 4
degrees north latitude; climate temperate; population 120,000; elevation
nearly 9,000 feet; occupied as a mission Station in 1856; missionaries —

COLOMBIA MISSION.
The four Stations of this Mission are at strategic points. The
cities are important^ and in some respects even pleasant. But
they vary widely. Barranquilla, the leading port, is at sea-level
and hot. Bogota and Medellin in the mountains are cold, and at
an altitude which over-stimulates the nervous system, while Cara-
cas is the more liheral capital city of Venezuela. The Mission
has never had an adequate number of missionaries; and those
who are there have to contend Avith the trying form of opposition
which characterizes Eomisli priests. Seventh-day Adventists, the
baptized paganism of the multitude and the active infidelity of
many of the higher classes. Great wisdom, patience and love
are therefore needed on the part of the workers, lest they unduly
exalt the polemic aspects of Evangelical Christianity. But they
have been careful and faithful, and they earnestly seek to preach
and exemplify a peaceful and winning rather than a belligerent
Gospel.
BOGOTA STATION.
CHUECH AND EVANGELISTIC WOEK.— The Church ser-
vices have been continued without interruption, and the attend-
ance has been encouraging. Twelve have been received into
membership and several others have applied for admission. The
two Sabbath-schools have been maintained, though with some-
285
COLOMBIA — BOGOTA. 23/
what irreg'ular attendance. The women have irregularly met
for prayer, and the influence of their meeting has been
marked. Some of them so instructed their servants that
two were led to Christ. The questions of self-support
and of systematic and proportionate giving have been urged in
the pulpit and in private conferences. The people have not
reached clear convictions on these questions, but the church-of-
ferings reached the sum of 391. GO pesos. Ambition for mate-
rial prosperity has taken hold of many of the leading men of the
country, and they urge it as the remedy for acknowledged evils.
The resultant condition of mind is a great hinderance to the
progress of the truth. It is not the only false philosophy that
has a large following, but it is the form that the missionaries
have to meet most frequently. There has also been some open
and more secret oposition on the part of persons who profess to
be Christians, and yet who attack some of the fundamental Gos-
pel truths. Tracts and newspapers have been circulated even
among our church-members, assailing all forms of evangelical
doctrine, and seeking to discredit our work and form of worship.
EDUCATIONAL.— Boys' School.— The Boys' School has
safely passed a year of difficulties. The establishment of an in-
termediate department was an experiment which has proved suc-
cessful. The advanced courses were reduced, and the college de-
partment was closed on account of the small number of students.
It will not be reopened. In spite of these changes, however, the
enrolment reached 69 — a falling off of only 11. Twenty-eight
were from Protestant families, 30 paid tuition in full and 19 in
part. The work has been thorough, and the progress made by
the students very gratifying.
Mrs. Graham taught two classes in English, and rendered aid
at intervals in other classes.
A new departure was made this year by holding monthly pub-
lic examinations. Printed invitations were sent to parents and
friends. It had hitherto been difficult to induce them to visit
the school, but in this way about 25 were brought to each exam-
ination. The closing exercises included the recitation of several
of the parables and incidents in the life of Jesus, and the giving
of the 53d chapter of Isaiah and the 13th of 1 Corinthians. The
new xVmerican minister, ]\Ir. Hart, was present, and several of the
Bogota papers spoke highly of the exhibition.
Mr. Graham writes:
I took some of the older pupils in the "Shorter Catechism" with careful
explanations. We feel unusual satisfaction with the thoroughness and
zeal with which the religious teaching was carried on this year, especially
as it was conducted almost entirely by the native teachers, who are all
members of our Church.
Pour of the pupils have given evidence of conversion.
23S COLOMBIA — BOGOTA.
The tuition has been increased in the Superior department to
four pesos per month and in the Primary to three pesos per
month. A boarding department will be opened and all boarders
will pay five pesos per month tuition, in addition to the cost of
board.
Girls' School. — The enrolment for the year was 55. Of
these 12 were the children of foreigners, and 26 were from
Protestant families.
The receipts from tuitions and matriculations were 471.95
pesos. Miss Scott writes:
We can report no conversions among the pupils during the year; but
the pupils in the Bible class were interested and awake, and we know the
teaching was earnest and faithful, special effort being made to make the
truths taught personal. An hour was set apart each day from the lesson-
hour, when any girl might go alone to Mrs. Candor for conversation and
instruction in the "way of life."
The school closed with public exercises by the members of the school,
and the room was crowded.
We hope and believe that the work done during the year will not be
barren of good results.
Primary School and Kindergarten. — The Primary School,
under the direction of Miss Eiley, opened the 1st of February.
The pupils of the Bible class studied the life of Christ, and in
the closing exercises they gave a short sketch of a part of the life
of Christ; the principal events being located by maps and illus-
trated by magic-lantern pictures. In addition, most of the chil-
dren attended a school prayer-meeting, which was held every
week by the pupils of the College department.
The enrolment for the year was 37, of whom 23 belonged to
the kindergarten department. All were day-pupils except three.
Eighteen came from Protestant families, and only 11 received.
tuition free.
Miss Eiley has conducted some classes for Bible-study in
friendly homes, and she has also held classes in the school build-
ing for religious instruction.
Free Day-school. — This school for poor children was ham-
pered by lack of funds, as the cut left it only one-third the
amount it asked for. The women of the Church helped all they
could, giving 25 pesos. The school was opened February 18,
1897, under the care of a native Christian lady. A few rough
benches, a very unsatisfactory blackboard and a half-dozen
books comprised the schoolroom furniture.
There were 23 pupils enrolled during the year. They are re-
quired to attend the Sabbath-school in the same building, and
they have appeared to really enjoy the exercises. The children
have committed to memory the Child's Catechism, and a number
mastered the Shorter Catechism, receiving as prizes a New Tes-
tament and a hymn-book. They also learned much Bible history.
COLOMBIA — BARRANQUILLA, 239
telling the stories in their own words. They eonimitted to
memory about 20 hymns, and sang them with great energy.
Two of the pupils showed signs of spiritual interest. On several
occasions the children were induced to attend the Church ser-
vices, and some brought their parents. The missionaries were
cordially received when they visited the homes represented.
BARRANQUILLA STATION.
MISSIONAEY FOECE.— Miss Florence E.Smith was obliged
to return to the United States in May on account of serious illness.
Her health has, however, so far improved that she will doubtless
be able to rejoin the Station in the early Fall. Mr. and Mrs. D.
C. Montgomery resigned in August, so that only two missiona-
ries were left — Miss Hunter and Mrs. Ladd. They have natural-
ly labored under many difficulties in endeavoring to maintain
the work, but they have toiled faithfully and heroically. The
Station will be reinforced in the Fall by an ordained missionary.
The preaching services have been conducted by the native
helpers and Mr. Joseph Norwood and his assistants of the Ameri-
can Bible Society, Mr. Norwood in particular being exceedingly
kind and helpful.
EDUCATIONAL.— The Girls' Boarding-school, under Mrs.
Ladd, opened in February with the largest attendance in its his-
tory. It has also this year attained entire self-support. Two
native Christians, one from Bogota and one from Caracas, have
been added to the corps of teachers. Four of the girls have
confessed their faith in Christ during the year. There is much
reason for gratification over the success which this school is
achieving.
The "Escuela Popular,"' under Miss Hunter, has had a largely
increased attendance. The boys and girls are usually quite
3'Oung, and most of them are from the poorer homes. Such a
school is not an easy one to manage; but Miss Hunter, assisted by
two native helpers, has shown tact and ability in this trying posi-
tion. The closing examinations showed that many of the chil-
dren had made a very marked improvement.
Among a people who are vain, superficial and satisfied with
showy attainments, it is an iiphill task to do simple, enduring
and thorough work from our educational view-point. The
ground has to be gained inch by inch. Miss Hunter whites:
I have tried this year, as never before, not to lose sight of the fact
that all our sehool-work is only justified so far as it serves as an evangel-
izing agency in the end. In this we have had more eueouragement than
in other years.
240 COLOMBIA — MEDELLIN, CARACAS.
MEDELLIN STATION.
The school has been maintained as before, despite the cut.
The missionaries have made personal sacrifices, and older girls
from the school have been employed at small salaries. But this
has thrown more burdens on the already overloaded shoulders of
Mrs. Touzeau, who greatly needs some one to share the respon-
sibility which is so wearing in that climate, v\'here even those
who have little care are nervous from debility.
The little paper, "El Evangelista Colombiano," has gone to
all parts of the country, and has brought orders for Bibles and
other religious books, as w^ell as many requests to have it con-
tinued or sent to new readers. The Gospel through this medium
reaches thousands who would not otherwise hear it.
There is a wide field for itineration in the surrounding region,
but little of it can be done with only one family at the Station.
The usual religious services, however, have been regularly held,
and one new member has been received, making eight since the
Station was opened eight years ago. Eesults come slowly in an
ignorant and bigoted Koman Catholic South American city, espe-
cially when a solitary missionary and his wife must contend,
single-handed, against the indifference of the multitude and the
bitter opposition of priestly foes. But God is with the workers,
and they labor steadil}^ on. While the converts have been few,
they have been carefully received and trained, and thus far every
one has been faithful. In proportion to their ability they give more
than Christians in the United States. Though they are very
poor, the annual income of the head of a family being only 450
pesos ($189), and the cost of living is high, they contributed last
year an average of five pesos each.
CARACAS STATION.
Early in 1897 Mr. and Mrs. Pond were transferred from Bar-
ranquilla to open a tentative work in Caracas, a city of 72,000
people. The field was unoccupied by any regular Mission,
though evangelical services were more or less regularly held by
the agent of the American Bible Society, while for two months
Sr. M. Ferrando, formerly a Capuchin monk, had held Bible
classes in his own house. The scattered members of a Church
organization, once under the care of the Methodist Board
(South), but for two years disbanded, warmly welcomed the new
missionaries.
Four weekly services were at once begun, including Sabbath-
school and prayer-meeting. The attendance at the preaching
services has ranged from 25 to 75 within the rented hall, and
from 20 to 50 within hearing distance at the windows and door.
In the congregation are to be seen not a few negroes, mostly
COLOMBIA — CARACAS. 24I
from Jamaica — servants, clerks, workmen, etc., who can read
English and Spanish.
Sr. Ferrando has, in many ways, given sympathetic co-opera-
tion. His two prolonged illnesses somewhat hindered his work
as editor of evangelistic literature, but he has now recovered,
and has put forth five numbers each of his Eeviews — ''La
Verdad" and "La Discusion."
Tracts are freely distributed. In them many receive the only
spiritual food of their lives. They practically have no religion,
and are too poor or too indifferent to buy a newspaper, but they
eagerly welcome the freely given printed message.
Considerable hoiise-to-houso visiting has been done by both
Mr. and Mrs. Pond, and wherever practicable Testaments and
"portions" have been distributed. Mrs. Pond is also responsible
for a prayer-circle for women.
There are the usual difficulties incident to ungodliness and
Eomanism; yet the moral atmosphere is no worse than that of
most South American cities, while constant communication with
Xorth America and Europe has brought some degree of enlight-
enment and liberality. The rights of free speech, free assembly
and free press make the work of preaching and publishing more
encouraging than in Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Bolivia.
Moreover, the Protestant labors under no civil disability, as in
those States. The great obstacle of ecclesiastical marriage is
wholly absent, civil marriage being possible and on a par with
ecclesiastical. There is no separate or consecrated cemetery,
all having the rights of burial in the same plot. Hence the na-
tive Christian is not hindered at every step, as in Colombia.
There are a few Protestants, whom we esteem very highly. Mr. Delima
is ever ready to help in any way — to visit the people, or do anything for
the Master's service. Apparently the thought of pecuniary gain never
enters his mind. Another poor man has taken upon himself the duties
of sexton. He lives two miles away, but always comes to Church. When
we spoke of the distance, he said: "I should come if it were tmce as far."'
A young girl gives her services as organist. Young people come half an
hour before services to practice the hymns, and evening classes are held
for young men.

The shadows of the year in Syria have been illness and death
in missionary families, and the increasingly unscrupulous com-
petition of Russian and French priests in the school- work. The
former especially are lavish in the use of money, erecting build-
ings in the immediate neighborhood of our schools, thoroughly
equipping them, and giving all their privileges to the native chil-
dren free of charge. The American Churches do not give u&
enough money to enable us to financially compete with such'
a policy, and we would not if vre could, for we believe in incul-
cating a spirit of self-help. We therefore insist that parents;
shall contribute according to their ability, even though the
amoimt be small. It is not an easy lesson for an Oriental people,
whose inherited tendencies are all toward dependence.
But it is just at this point that the lights of the year are
243
244 SYRIA — BEIRUT.
strongest. It appeared to be a peculiarly unpropitious time to
reduce our appropriations; but inexorable necessity was upon us,
and the cut had to be applied at the very moment when the Eus-
sian and French priests were tempting the natives with their
most liberal offers. But to our jo}^, while some fell away, the
native Christians as a whole manifested a spirit of loyalty and
self-sacrifice beyond all praise. So, in the providence of God,
the cut proved to be a real blessing; and the Church in Syria to-
day, though with a smaller number of adherents, is in a health-
ier and stronger condition than ever before in its history.
BEIRUT STATION.
MISSIONAEY FOECE.— In October, Miss Law left for the
United States, on account of ill-health, and Miss Anna H. Jes-
sup has temporarily taken her place in the Beirut Seminary. Mr.
and Mrs. E. G. Freyer have been appointed missionaries.
During the protracted illness of Mr. Wm. Jessup in Zahleh, Dr.
H. H. Jessup spent a considerable part of the summer in Zahleh,
aiding in the completion of the manse, and the general work of
the Station. These labors, in addition to his regular duties in
Beirut and his preaching in the outlying villages, made the year
a heav}" one for him.
Dr. W. W. Eddy has maintained the preaching service in the
Museitebeh for nine months of the year His commentary on
the New Testament has reached the first chapter of 1 Timothy,
or the 200th page of the fifth volume. Dr. Post, of the Syrian
Protestant College, has completed Vol. II of the Bible Diction-
ary, and it is now being copied for transmission to the Imperial
Bureau of Publication in Constantinople.
CHUECHES. — Mr. Yusef Ahtij^eh has continued as preacher
in the First Church in Beirut, to the great satisfaction of the
congregation; but the Church has made no visible progress to-
ward self-support. The Second Church is without a regular
preacher, the former pastor being still absent in the United
States. Fourteen members were received into the First Church
during the j'ear, of whom six are students of the college.
A Society of Andrews and Philip was organized in February,
and its members hold Sabbath-meetings in different parts of the
city. The Sabbath-school has flourished under the superintend-
ence of Mr. Khirullah. There is now a movement in both the
native Churches towards reunion.
There has been no theological class during the j^ear, yet we
still continue to supply native preachers for other Missions, one
from the Tripoli field having gone to the Irish Presbyterian
Mission in Damascus, and another from the last theological class
to the new English Presbyterian Mission in Aleppo. On his way
SYRIA — BEIRUT. 245
to Aleppo, the Turkish censor at Alexandretta seized all his let-
ters, books and sermons — promising, after perusal, to forward
them to Aleppo. These Turkish censors ought to be well in-
structed in the faith, considering the immense amount of ortho-
dox theology they are obliged to read every year.
EMIGRATION. — The emigration from Sjrisi continues un-
abated. Whole families have gone from the Beirut Church the
past year, and more are jDlanning to go.
The bretheren and sisters ask for certificates of church membership,
but we have adopted the plan of giving certificates only when our mem-
bers have a settled residence in some definite locality, and send us the
name of the church with which they desire to unite. We then send the
certificate to the pastor, and thus the letter is not available as a circular
letter of recommendation for business purposes, as many pastors in Amer-
ica have complained of in years past. This course affords all needed
spiritual protection to our members going to Christian communities in
distant lands.
On June 22d, Mr. Michael Mosully died in Beirut. He had been in the
service of the American Missions for fifty-eight years. During all this
time, he was distinguished for fidelity and integrity — a noble example to
his countrymen.
MEDICAL. — Dr. Mary Pierson Eddy removed her headquar-
ters to Sidon for the winter. As usual, she has been indefatig-
able in her medical work, making extensive itinerating tours, in
which she has endured many hardships, but in which also she
has broiight physical healing and the G-ospel message to many
sufferers. Her report for forty-two weeks shows 5,874 patients
treated, 279 surgical operations performed, and 64 villages vis-
ited. She writes:
The Holy Spirit has enabled me to plead mightily with God this year
for the souls of some of those for whom we have labored, and to prevail.
WOMAX'S WORK. — The women's meetings in the eastern
quarter at Ras Beirut and the Mezraa have been maintained, as
in former years, by Mrs. W. W. Eddy, Mrs. Porter and Miss Jes-
sup. The Syrian Helping-hand Society of young women
has been superintended by Mrs. H. H. Jessup. At a concert the
members, aided by Syrian young men, sang the solos and cho-
ruses of a Christmas oratorio composed by a native member of the
Beirut Church, now a student in the National Conservatory of
Paris. The number of members of the Helping-hand is 24; per-
sons aided. 111; number of garments made, 151.
MISSION PRESS.— The work of the Press has prospered,
and the results obtained are even better than those of a year ago.
Owing to a change in the date of the Mission meeting, the report
covers six weeks less than a year's work. According to that docu-
ment 19,611,303 pages have come from the presses, 13,286,000
of which were printed (at cost) for the American Bible Society,
246 SYRIA — BEIRUT.
the remaining 6,325,300 consisting of religious and educational
books and tracts. The number of volumes sold, transferred to
Egypt, and granted to the poor has exceeded last year's total by
6,597, while the number of volumes bound has amounted to 28,-
672. A hopeful event is the introduction of the Arabic Scrip-
tures printed at the Press into the many Eussian schools lately
opened in Palestine and Syria. The field of distribution for
Arabic literature, especially that of religious character, is con-
stantly widening. This is chiefly to be attributed to the large
settlements of Syrians in various j)arts of the world. It is good
to know that, b}'^ means of the Press publications, they are kept
in touch with their native land and with things pertaining to
their spiritual welfare.
The government censor at Constantinople has given but little
trouble during the year. But owing to the unscrupulous char-
acter of subordinate officials, the clearing of goods at the Cus-
tom-house is becoming more and more difficult, and it calls for
the exercise of much grace and patience. In view of important
questions regarding the work of publication, Mr. Freyer visited
Constantinople in April, and it is hoped that the result of his
visit will be an improvement in our hitherto somewhat trying
relations with the Imperial Ottoman Bureau of Censorship.
But no reply has yet been received to the petition presented to
the government last April for an extension of the privileges of
the weekly "Neshra."
The employes of the Press cheerfully subscribed 4,000 pias-
ters toward the debt, thus showing that they too take an inter-
est in the efforts of the Board to carry on its work.
EDUCATIONAL.— Beirut Seminary.—
The graduating class numbered three — one of whom, just before leav-
ing school, declared herself to be on the Lord's side. Her principles were
put to a severe test during the Summer; for the Catholics offered to take
her and her sister into their school as boarders, and give them both
French lessons on condition that she would teach only two branches. She
felt that she could not conscientiously enter one of their institutions, and
remained firm in spite of her father's anger at her opposition.
The pupils' foreign missionary offering of nine dollars was sent to the
Board for the debt. During Miss Law's absence, the teachers have vol-
untarily undertaken to keep up the society which she organized last year,
and offerings have been given for a fund to start work.
The boarding department has been smaller than usual, its
maximum number having been 39. On the other hand, the day-
scholars have been more numerous than before. There are now
31 who pay full charges. The department for little children is
well attended. The pupils represent the following sects:
Armenians, 3; Maronites, 4; Moslems, 4; Greek Catholics, 7;
Orthodox Greeks, 16; Protestants, 27.
Owing to the cut in the appropriations, the Girls' Day-school
SYRIA — ABEIH. 247
at Eas Beirut was dropped, and it has been taken up by our gen-
erous friends of the British Syrian Mission, who also assumed,
for the year at least, the support of fourteen other schools in dif-
ferent parts of the Abeih, Zahleh and Sidon stations. They also
offered to receive, without charge, twelve daughters of dis-
charged and needy native helpers. Miss Caroline Thompson,
directress of the Mission and the London Committee of the
British Syrian j\rission, deserves our hearty thanks for this fra-
ternal and timely action. Prof. Nicely and other members of
the faculty of the Syrian Protestant College, have taken up the
Boys' Day-school in Pias Beirut.
ABEIH STATION.
Abeih's missionary force is located in three places, separated
by deep valleys and approachable only by stormy mountain-
paths, or a tortuous carriage-road. In these cirucmstances, the
necessary absence of Mr. Hardin for a part of the year, and the
assistance to Zahleh called for by Mr. Jessup's illness, occupied
considerable of Mr. Baird's and Mr. Doolittle's time. Yet they
managed to find opportunity for no little preaching, touring,
and school inspection. Mr. Hardin's return, after a furlough of
only six months, accompanied by Mrs. Hardin and their daugh-
ters, was appreciatively welcomed, and again made Abeih a
home-centre.
EVANGELISTIC— The Deir field may be pictured as half a
wheel, with the Deir as the hub, and Ain Zehalteh, Baruk,Mukh-
tareh Ammatur, Ghareefy, Metulleh and Dibbeyeh as points on
the tire, each distant two or three hours from the centre. While
no one place is capable of sustaining a separate Church organiza-
tion, yet the community of congregations contains ample mate-
rial. Accordingly, these various groups have ben united in one
church, with a good session and 83 members. It is hoped that
this new arrangement may dispose of some of the vexing prob-
lems which have menaced spiritual life and church growth in
this region.
CHURCH. — In Abeih itself, the people have displayed unus-
ual liberality. When the reductions were ordered, Mr. Bird ap-
pointed a meeting of the church to discuss ways and means, and
as a result a most encouraging amount was cheerfulW raised.
A young man who supports his father's whole family, and, who is
educating his sisters in Beirut, contributed half a Napoleon. A notably
stingy man, without solicitation, presented an English pound, and was
apparently the happier for so doing. Even the school-girls agreed to
devote half of their time at needle-work for the benefit of the school.
Priestly opposition has been strenuous, and some women who
were enrolled in the Sabbath-school have transferred their al-

legiance. But the missionaries have been indefatigable, and
much good has been accompHshed.
Funerals often afford opportunity to reach people, and particularly
Druzes, who would not otherwise hear the Gospel. A young man of
Protestant family in Aiu ir Rummany died, and his funeral was attended
by 300 people, among them the two priests of the village. Most thought-
ful attention was given by all present as the missionary preached.
WOMAN'S WORK.— The Woman's Benevolent Society is
now sixteen years old, having been organized in 1882. It was
started to develop the spirit of benevolence among the Protestant
women who were more than willing to give time and effort, but
who had little money at their command, and it has been happily
successful. It has drawn in women of other sects also. The
usual attendance has been from 15 to 20, and its deeds of charity
and helpfulness have been many. The Society now plaiis to as-
sume the expense of the primary school in Abeih, aided by the
tuition-fees of the pupils, who number from 40 to 60, according
to the season of the year — the Board thus being relieved of its
support.
SABBATH SCHOOL.— The annual Sabbath festival inAbeih
was more than usually successful, and the large Church was
filled with pupils and friends, among them the Greek priest and
the mudir (mayor) of the village. Children's day was observed
in the Deir in a way to delight both the children and their par-
ents. Many women were present, and some were afterward
heard to remark that they saw no reason why they should be for-
bidden to attend such services. In order to interest them in
benevolent work, a sewing society was organized in the Summer.
Thus far 25 garments have been made and 185 piasters collected.
Special attention has been given to Bible-study, the mid-week
meeting being turned into a Bible class. The success attending
these studies has led to a promised repetition of the course in Ain
Zehalteh, where 15 have pledged themselves to weekly prepa-
ration.
INTERESTING- EXAMPLES.— The trite remark, that sta-
tistics do not tell the whole story of spiritual influence, is illus-
trated by the fact that the light of Abeih has reached far beyond
the limits of the Protestant sect. Some of the most interesting
characters are nominally Maronites, Catholics or Druzes.
One, a Maronite, is among the most effective evangelical helpers in the
Deir. Another thorough Protestant is the trustee of the Catholic Church
in his village. But he has become a true preacher of righteousness. Many
an evening do the young men gather at his house to hear and study the
Word. Another instance is that of a Druze — a quiet, thoughtful man,
who enjoys the reading of books and tracts; and on one occasion, when
outlines on a certain text had been called for, he presented the most accept-
able of all. Such cases as these impress us with the truth of the Word.
"Xot by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, saith the Lord of hosts."
SYRIA — ABEIH. 249
EDUCATIONAL. — School-work has been embarrassed by the
sweeping reductions, but it eventuated in a certain measure of
self-government in some places. As a rule, the teachers deserve
mention for their faithfulness in this testing time. In four vil-
lages, schools were discontinued. In three others the teaching
force was reduced, and in half a dozen other places the work has
been transferred to the British Syrian Schools or the Friends'
Society.
SUQ EL GHAEB ACADEMY.— The Suq el Gharb Boys" Acad-
emy was superintended, during Mr. Hardin's absence, by Mr. Bird.
It began the year with reduced numbers, owing chiefly to the lack
of funds for aiding those who are unable to pay the full tuition.
But the school has fared well, having 49 boarders and 12 day-
pupils. These pupils came from 23 different towns and vil-
lages; 16 are Protestants, 16 Maronites, 10 Greek Orthodox, 8
Catholic, 10 Druzes and 1 Moslem. Seven of last year's num-
ber entered the college. The examinations last July were excel-
lent. The teaching force has been diminished by two, leaving
four teachers and one preacher, who also teaches. But this
number is inadequate to the work.
A book-store, library and reading-room combined has been
opened in the busiest part of the town. That the new departure
is appreciated is evident from the number of books in circulation,
and the frequent use made of the reading-room. The man in
charge is a Christian, and more than once has been found read-
ing the Bible to some one who did not know how to read. Ef-
forts have been made to establish friendly relations by means
of a series of lectures — a sort of University Extension Course.
The audiences manifested great satisfaction.
But the priests viewed with unwilling eyes the evening gatherings of
the choicest of their flocks; the bishop fulminated in an Easter sermon;
and the patriarch thought to strike at the root of the matter by ordering
all good Maronites to remove their children from our schools. But, with
few exceptions, his order met with firm refusal, and many parents have
remained unconfessed to this day.
THE CUT.—
When word came of the great reduction, it fairly staggered us, and we
feared for the results. After reducing to the lowest point, figures relating
to itineracy, rents and repairs, there still remained a reduction of over
one-third on the actual salary list of our 49 helpers. This we effected by
dismissing 11 teachers, transferring eight to other societies, and diminishing
the salaries of the remaining preachers and teachers. And yet, we are not
prepared to say that the year's experience has been wholly disastrous.
We have seen growth in the spirit of self-denial, of liberality and in the
expression of sympathy and co-operation from those who were accustomed
merely to receive. Christianity has acquired a stronger significance as
distinct from worldly advantage. And appreciable progress has been
made toward the goal of self-support.
250 SYRIA — SIDON.
SUMMAEY.' — In the Abeih field there are five church build-
ings, four chapels, and 25 school-rooms. The congregations ag-
gregate 825. The Sabbath-school children number 950. In
the day-schools there is an enrolment of 1,650, about equally
divided between Christians and Druzes. During the year there
were seven additions to the churches, and ten infant baptisms.
For the future we should be gratified if we might at least reopen the
work closed, and answer with more than an unattractive negative the
persistent and ofttimes pathetic appeals of teachers and people. And
beyond the first necessities of restored work, there open before us vistas of
possibilities in new work, petitions from villages which would be desirable
preaching points. But the fulfillment of our desire depends upon the
liberality of the Home Church.
SIDON STATION.
CHURCH. — During the year 46 persons have been added to
the Church, a most encouraging record. The frequent visits of
Mr. Eddy to all parts of the field and the strong influence ex-
erted by Academy, Seminary and Church have, without any ap-
parently unusual interest, Ijrought this number into the com-
munion. The two Christian Endeavor Societies, one of young
men and the other of young women, are also doing excellent
work. Even better things are anticipated because of the large
number of applicants for admission to the Church still on proba-
tion. It is interesting to notice in this connection that in 1867
the number received into the Church by the whole Mission was
18, while in 1897 this Station alone has received 46. Effective
aid is given by Mrs. Ford and Mr. Stuart D. Jessup, who, while
not officially connected with the Mission, are fully identified
with its work.
MEDICAIj. — Dr. Mary P. Eddy has visited a large part of the
Station field during the year, spending much time at important
outstations. She has now taken a house in Sidon, whither her
patients are fiocking from all quarters.
PEESBYTERY.— The meeting of the Presbytery last sum-
mer was anxiously anticipated on account of the heavy reduction
in appropriations. The whole field was canvassed beforehand,
so that every church and preacher and teacher could be prepared
to share the burden. The result was a pleasant surprise. The
fact that the missionaries had let the stroke fall on themselves
first produced a good effect. With most gratifying zeal, pledges
were given by all the 13 Churches. These, together with the
heavy cut on teachers and preachers and the pledges of parents
of pupils, made it clear that but few places would have to be
abandoned. There was general thanksgiving that the blow was
no worse. At the same time it was manifest that the unusual
effort of the people and preachers was a temporary one to tide
SYRIA — SIDON. 251
over a crisis, and that a repetition of it another year can hardly
be expected. Xevertheless, a remarkable stride- has been taken
towards self-support, and there will be no return to the former
measure of dependence on the Board.
Six places which had to be given up on account of the cut were
occupied by the workers of the B. S. S. Mission through the
kindness of Miss Caroline Thompson, Directress.
OUTSTATIONS.— The Sidon field includes 28 outstations;
and, besides these, there are Protestants in a dozen more villages,
six or eight of which are very near Sidon. There are, moreover,
outposts not on the lists, because they are supplied by the volun-
teers from the Academy and the Church and by the missionaries
themselves when free from regular duties elsewhere. The ladies
of the Station have been very active in this branch of the work.
In this way all the surrounding towns are becoming familiar
with Gospel truth.
Tyre has been growing in importance, and the little Church
is exerting its influence in many directions. In Alma and
Bursa, the year has been a checkered one. The influence of the
school, the preacher and the house-to-house visitation of Miss
M. J. M. Ford was such as to awaken the combined opposition
of the Turkish police captain, the Papal Greek bishop, and the
district governor. They sealed up the school, imprisoned some
of the Protestants, one of whom was the preacher, and banished
one. By energetic action on the part of Mr. Eddy, the banished
man was restored and the prisoners released, but the school is
still closed.
Dibble is the new centre of work in Belad Beshara. The peo-
ple have been tempted and tried at all points by priests, Jesuits
and nuns, but they still stand firm.
In Hasbeiyeh, the active work of the native pastor, and the
seed sown by his lamented predecessor, are bearing fruit in more
active life in the church and greater endeavors towards self-sup-
port.
Poverty and emigration have dealt harshly with El Khiyam
and Easheiyeh, but it is hoped that new life may be awakened in
these places that will prove the vitality of the Gospel seed so
long ago sown there. Excellent teachers have been working and
teaching in both of them. In 1840 the Eev. Isaac Bird opened a
school in Jedeideh, but it was quickly closed by the bishop, with
the declaration that never again should a Protestant enter that
field. But in 1870 Dr. W. W. Eddy at the request of the people
began a work which has never been relinquished. The villages
in the vicinity were at one time occupied, but owing to the rigid
retrenchment of the past few years have been abandoned. A
better feeling pervades the Church at Judeideh. The preacher
who has been there for 28 years, though tried by the reduction
252 SYRIA — SIDON.
of his salary to one-half the amount he has heen receiving for
years, has shown a spirit of resignation not usually seen. The
Boys' and Girls' Schools are flourishing greatly, containing more
than 400 pupils, and paying more than 2,000 piasters in fees
(about $90.00).
In Mejdel and Ain Kuneyeh, the smoke and grime, the black-
ened walls and ruined houses, tell of the besom of destruction
that swept over them when the Druzes were in rebellion two
years ago. The owners of these plundered houses, out of their
poverty, are more than doubling their previous gifts as a church,
and promising as much more for a teacher. In the retrenchment
the old preacher's salary was cut down 20 per cent. He then re-
linquished one month's income after the cut, and then 10 per
cent, more on what was left, and so the work goes on in Mejdel.
There are 11 preachers and 15 teachers at work in the field
outside of Sidon. But little more than half the expense is met
by the Board, and two places are entirely self-supporting. In
Sidon city there are 13 native workers, two of whom are
preachers.
THE SEMINARY.— The seminary has 100 pupils, of whom
44 are boarders. The girls represent 24 villages. In religious
affiliation, 41 are Protestant, 23 Greek Orthodox, 15 Greek Cath-
olic, 2 Maronite, 5 Jewish, 13 Moslem and 1 Mitawaly.
The main part of the housework is done by the pupils themselves, not
only for the sake of economy, but also to train them to be neat house-
keepers and to keep them from being educated away from the simple life
of their village homes. We are trying to insist upon the payment of a
small tuition fee, but the poverty of the country and public sentiment as
regards the education of girls, render the task a hard one. Great strides
have been made, however, since the early days when beds, books and most
of their clothes had to be supplied to the majority of the girls. In many
parts of the country girls are never treated as if they possessed minds of
their own, and their reasoning faculties are A^ery deficient. For instance,
a class of large girls was asked the use of sails on ships, and several were
of the opinion that they were to give shade to the sailors.
When it became known that the Seminary was in debt, it was
touching to see the teachers come forward with donations from
their slender salaries, to help the school they love so well. And
since then, whenever there has been extra work to be done, a spe-
cial plea has been made by the head teacher that no outside help
be hired. A Christian Endeavor Society has been started with
the special object of reaching the city girls. At one of the com-
munion seasons, twenty-two from the Seminary partook of the
Lord's Supper. A class of seven received diplomas last year,
three of whom are teaching, two are at home, and two are study-
ing in Beirut. Forty villages have been visited, some of them
several times, by those connected with the Seminary. Though
SYRIA — SIDON. 253
nominally for women, the meetings are often largely attended by
men and some children are always present.
THE ACADEMY. — Seven yonng men were graduated in the
regular course, of whom two have l)een placed in charge of mis-
sionary outstations. Four have finished the partial or English
course. During the vacation, the self-help and orphan pupils
did considerable work in the industrial section, while the year
has been characterized by exceptional fidelity and zeal on the
part of the teaching corps. The admission of ten of the boys
to church membership, and Mrs. George Wood's generous gift
of $1,000 for the running expenses of the Industrial Section,
made the year a happy one.
By the completion of the tailor-shop, the two-story building
formerly used for that purpose became available for a dormitory,
while by moving the primary department back to its old quar-
ters, a large room is saved, as well as the overcrowding of the
playground, and the maintenance of neatness and order has been
facilitated. Dr. Ford was thus able to receive an increased num-
ber of pupils, although many applicants had still to be refused
for lack of room. So far 119 boarding pupils have matriculated,
and 86 day-pupils of all grades — a total of 205, and a gain over
last year of 40.
A pleasant surprise has been the growing popularity of the Self-help
Section, in which the boys work all day and study and recite in the even-
ing. The number has risen from 15 last year to 25 this year, and more
applicants were refused here than in the Academic Section. Its night-
classes are being conducted with increased system and thoroughness, to
correspond as far as possible with the Academic course.
All the Industrial Departments are taxed to keep up with the
orders to be filled.
Our order books show the names of 4 governors, 2 judges, 10 counselors,
14 military officers, 3 emirs or princes so-called, 16 beks and titular
sheikhs, 3 mullahs or muslim sheikhs, 10 foreigners and 10 Americans.
In the Agricultural Department, quite an extensive vineyard
has been planted, besides many olive and mulberry trees.
We were glad to announce two years ago the receipt of a gift of $3,400
from a generous friend, to secure for it, if possible, the blessings of one or
more artesian wells. The Oil Well Supply Co. of Pittsburg, kindly fur-
nished the apparatus at cost price, and Mr. Chauncey B. Harding of
Jamestown, N. Y., was chosen to superintend the work. The well has now
reached a depth of 430 feet, and Mr. Harding is confident of success.
The public interest in this enterprise is universal and in-
tense, water being a great blessing in that semi-arid land, and
this method of getting it quite unique.
The Carpenter Department has five or six salaried carpenters
and 16 boys, 10 of them self-help boys, who work all day. The
254 SYRIA — TRIPOLI.
corresponding numbers in the other departments are tailors 14,
shoemakers 11, masons 9, house-servants 3, well-boring 2. Thus,
during all the working-hours of the day, there is a continuous
body of over 60 workers in the trades. The carpenter, tailor and
shoemaker departments are now self-supporting.
We do not forget the dangers attending this so-called secular arm of
our work; but it is our constant prayer and aim to so shape this enlarge-
ment that its effects shall be distinctly spiritual and evangelistic; and, to
this end, we have great need of help in prayer and counsel.
TRIPOLI STATION.
At the beginning of the year, every outstation was well man-
ned, the schools were in excellent condition, the teachers were
more earnest than ever in bringing the Truth to the minds of
scholars and parents, and the effort to make the schools not
merely educators of children, but entrances to communities, was
more promising.
We had intimations of reduced appropriations, and were preparing for
them; but when the letter came it almost overwhelmed us, for it looked
as if all the building up of years would be swept away. It was difficult to
know where to begin the pruning, for there was scarcely a preacher or
teacher who could be spared.
PEESBYTEEY.—
Presbytery met at Hums and we were very anxious, for we did not
know how the churches would take the retrenchment. Our fears were
not realized, for tlie preachers and elders showed a most excellent spirit —
in what was to them a new sense of responsibility. They were proud of
the chance to show that they realized the difl&culty under which the
Board was laboring, and were more than willing to do all they could to
keep the work going. We were delighted to note the interest in the
schools, for it was unexpected. The sum given them being half that of
last year, if the schools were to be maintained, they must be supported by
the people, or the preacher must act as teachers. It was the unanimous
vote of the Presbytery that all the schools under its jurisdiction should
remain open. They said it would be a disgrace to close a school, and this
sentiment was echoed by all the people. We feel grateful to God for this
evidence of the spirit of self-support, and we feel strongly that this is in
answer to prayer, as well as the fruit of systematic education of the
churches by urging and encouraging them to assume responsibilities.
Notwithstanding this self-denial, however, nine schools had
to be closed; and, as we reduce our school work, the Eussian So-
ciety for the Evangelization of the Holy Land takes it up. In
some instances it opens schools where we still have them, and
tries to win over our teachers and pupils. The new Eussian
school at the Meena has five Eussian ladies, seven native
teachers and 400 pupils. All the girls from our Meena School,
now closed, are of the number. They have also opened a free
school for boys in the city, which has a large attendance. Our
SYRIA — TRIPOLI. 255
Boys' High School feels the influence of this liberality, the at-
tendance being reduced to 30.
EVANGELISTIC— Of the region south of Tripoli, one has
said:
Just as soon as you enter Lebanon, you find the £eople spiritually
dead. The Greeks care very little for religion, and the Maronites, who
are in the great majority, walk the path marked out for them by their
clergy. We see very little fruit for all the years of earnest effort, but at
no time have we felt like giving up.
In the region about Ghurzuz, a great change has taken place
in the attitude of the Greek Church. Indifference has devel-
oped into opposition, but this has spurred the preachers and
church-members to greater activity, and people are beginning to
wonder what there is in Protestantism to cause the priests to
change their policy. Large audiences gather, and the teacher of
the Greek school at Munsif, who is not permitted to hold a Sab-
bath-school, and two other Protestants from Batrun, walk every
Sabbath to attend the services, and people ask, "What kind of a
religion is this, that will cause men to walk hours to attend
church?"
The difficulty of reaching the Maronites was manifest during a tour
in May by Mr. Nelson and Dr. Harris. In some instances the priests
would drive the people away from the tent, or ring the bell for mass be-
fore the time, or sit near to see that no books or tracts were received, or
engage the missionaries in conversation and endeavor to keep them from
talking upon religion. An old man told Mr. Nelson that he could, in one
hour, convince him that he was wrong. He agreed to hear Mr. Nelson's
argument first, but so logically did Mr. Nelson present his part that the
poor old man seemed absorbed in interest. After a time he sighed and
said, "Oh my Lord, I have been the assistant of this village priest for
over forty years ! I know the Maronite religion from the beginning to the
end. Is it possible that I have been mistaken ?"
Mr. March was talking to a Maronite, when the man cried out in
alarm: "Oh! stop talking to me. I am a simple fellow; you may make me
a Protestant." A priest told his people not to take medicine from Dr.
Harris: "For the very moment a drop o^ his medicine touches your
tongue, you are a Protestant, and your soul is lost." The Jesuit monks,
the nuns and the Maronite priests threaten converts Avith everlasting-
punishment, and cut off from the rites of the Church. If this fails, they
threaten punishment in the courts, on a false charge. The latter seldom
fails to dampen the ardor of the inquirer into the merits of the Protestant
faith.
ALEPPO. — In September our work in Aleppo was, in the in-
terest of both economy and comity, formally transferred to the
English Presbyterian Mission, which maintains a missionary
there.
In Maharadeh the influence of the Christians is increasing,
especially among the people of the neighboring villages, who
speak of them as good men, because they do not lie. The school
is wholly supported by the Church. The Hums Christians are
256 SYRIA — TRIPOLI.
still interested in carrying the Gospel to the Syriac district, and
Ihey say that they will not be satisfied until all the villages to the
east and north have become enlightened.
In Im Dulab, the people are tenants of a rich Moslem bey. They work
the land on shares, and the bey is very fond of them because he can trust
them. In the Amar field, the Roman Catholic abbot said to our native
preacher: "I wish the Greeks would pay their dues, and be as honest as
the Protestants." A story is told of a boy who, having left our school
and gone to the Greek school, afterwards met his former companions with
a shout, saying: "T go to the Greek school; I swear — ! There! Did you
hear that?"
A man from Yazdiyeh was, three years ago, given a Bible. He gathers
his neighbors every evening to read it, and now four are candidates for
church membership. At Rahbeh we had a large school, but in November
the Russians opened a school, and all our pupils left but four. The
teacher is not dismayed, and he devotes his entire energies to these boys.
If our school has received a check, there is greater interest in the evangel-
istic part of the work. A little company meets every evening ■with the
teacher for Bible-study, and the Sabbath services are well attended.
Minyara is one of the bright spots in the Tripoli field, with a
church ten years old. It is now in charge of Hanna Kabaz, a
member of the last theological class. The people are poor, but
he has introduced a scheme of systematic giving, which is work-
ing admirably. All over the field fees are now generally paid,
even where it was formerly thought impossible for the people to
raise anything.
The Tripoli Church has received 21 new members during the
year.
Our senior elder is employed by the Tram and Diligence Company.
Last Summer, the president, a Moslem bey, discovered that some of the
men were selling leather, and in a rage he discharged all hands. Some
days after, one of the Moslems who had been discharged told the bey:
"You did not do right to discharge Abu Gurguis el Kuri; he is a good
man, and I know he did not steal your leather." After inquiry, the bey
sent for Abu Gurguis, and told him to go to work as overseer of all the
stock of his department, saying: "I do not employ you because you are
an old man or poor, but because you are honest. These Moslems go to
Mecca to the mosque and say, 'Allah, Allah!' Then they steal my leather.
Y^ou Protestants are better than Moslems; you are truthftd and honest."
"Of course they are," said another Moslem Effendi; "if they are not, they
are turned out."
MEDICAL. — Dr. Harris superintends a great work in this de-
partment, and emphasis is given to religious instruction; Shukri
Fakhuri preaches every day before clinics; and also on Thursday
evenings, in the Dispensary Chapel, he assists in dressings and
surgical operations. Zimmd Faris, a graduate of the Girls'
School, does the Bible-work among the women in connection
with the Dispensary. Dr. Harris spent 20 days in Hums, and 22
in Hamath, where many sick and injured were helped. The
number treated during the year cannot be given, as unfortunately
SYRIA — ZAHLEH. 257
the record was lost, but it was fully up to the average. There
were 288 surgical operations, of which 107 were on in-patients.
GIELS' SCHOOL.— The first trial of the year was the en-
forced resignation of a teacher, because of her attempt to unite
with the church. She has resisted more than one attempt to
weaken her purpose, but she luis not yet been able to attend the
service. There was evidence, too, that some of the pupils had
been put on their guard against "pernicious doctrine" by home
friends. However, four girls and one of the servants expressed
a desire to confess Christ, and a few of the Greek girls have also
shown a genuine interest in Bible-study.
The teachers, too, have grown in grace. In our weeklj^ teacliers'
prayer-meetings, we study subjects calculated to deepen our own spiritual
life, and we talk freely about the spiritual needs of individual girls, and
pray for them by name. A year ago one of the girls was discovered in an
act of dishonesty, which she persistently denied. We praj'ed for her much
that she might be made willing to confess her guilt. We waited a long
time, but at last the hour came when she voluntarily confessed to ]Miss
La Grange, and after a little persuasion also acknowledged her sin before
a group of her school-mates gathered for prayer, and asked them to pray
for her.
Altogether there have been 35 graduates of the School, of
whom 16 have been or are now teachers. Seven are married,
and three have died. Ten are meml)ers of the Church. The
missionary meetings were sustained during the year, and 341
piasters were raised. At present there are 46 boarders, the same
number as last year. There are also 126 day-pupils in all de-
partments, making the entire enrolment 172.
A Christian Endeavor Society has been organized, with 13
active and two associate members. The Evangelistic Work
Committee proposes to undertake some aggressive work among
the Moslem Avomen who have become accessible through the dis-
pensary and the work of Dr. Harris' assistant, and also among
the parents of the school diildren. The spirit of the school is
excellent. The teachers have been particularly faithful.
We are not satisfied simply to teach our girls English and Arithmetic
and Geography; we want, most of all, to teach them the beauty of a life
"hid with Christ in God." We feel that we and our teachers and our
Christian girls must have the baptism of the Holy Spirit, that we may be-
come powerful witnesses to the need and the power of our Saviour.
ZAHLEH STATION.
The year at this Station has been a broken one. Of the two
families regularly stationed there, one — Mr. Hoskins' — was in
the United States the greater part of the year on furlough. Such
an absence is ostensibly for rest; but Mr. Hoskins delivered 150
addresses and traveled 3,200 miles, while Mrs. Hoskins added to
the care of three children the strain of scores of public addresses^
258 SYRIA — ZAHLEH.
On the field, the erection of the new Missionary Residence, so
long needed, required much of the time and labor of the only re-
maining missionary, Mr. Jessup. Before the house was com-
pleted, however, he was attacked by typhoid fever. For a time
his life was despaired of. During the days of greatest danger,
one of his children suddenly died. Mrs. Jessup did not dare tell
her husband, lest, in his weakened condition, the shock might be
too great. So a friendly native carpenter hastily constructed a
small coffin; the mother herself, assisted by her sister, who was
providentially with her, lined it, and then the little body was
placed in it and sent off by night to Beirut for burial. Only
parents can appreciate the anguish of that mother, as she went
back to the sick-room of her husband, trying to keep a brave
face and to hide from observation the a^^'ful sorrow that was
wrenching her heart.
Mr. Jessup's condition gradually im|)roved^ but before he was
fairly convalescent the house took fire and Avas seriously dam-
aged. It is not surprising that, by the time he was Avell out of
■danger, Mrs. Jessup was herself prostrated by typhoid fever,
■while the illness of another child still further increased the al-
read}^ heaA^y burden.
The close of the 3^ear, however, saw more pleasant days. Mr.
and Mrs. Hoskins returned to their work with renewed vigor.
The new residence Avas nearh' completed, while the health of Mr.
and Mrs. Jessup and their little one Avas almost restored, though
it will be some time before they will recoA^er from the strain of
.those terrible months.
In such circumstances, the Avork of the Station of course suf-
fered. Very little touring could be done, and consequently fcAv
■ examinations of candidates were made; so there Avere but three
additions to the Church during the year. In maintaining the
most necessary forms of Avork, great kindness Avas shoAvn by the
members of the British Syria Mission, and also by the mission-
aries of our other Stations, notably the Eev. Dr. H. H. Jessup
of Beirut.
The heaA'y cut in the appropriations naturally intensified the
difficulties of the year. ISTevertheless, jjreaching and teaching
Avere regularly sustained in tAvo centres and eleven outstations,
though other outstations and several schools had to be entirely
closed. While some of the native Avorkers felt aggrieved, others
shoAved a most excellent spirit, and bravely and uncomplainingly
bore the retrenchment. Quite a number of the preachers and
teachers gave a month's salary to meet part of the losses.
THE CHUECH.— The Zahleh Church had unusual demands
upon its sympathy and charity for help to the poor.
Nevertheless, it assumed the support of a teacher for three months, so
ns to give him a chance to look out for other employment. He had just
SYRIA — ZAHLEH. 259
been nianied, and his case was a particularly appealing one. In a num-
ber of places the teachers with fear and trembling demanded fees for the
first time from the school children, and many children were driven away
to the Catholic, Greek and Jesuit schools. One teacher thought that all
we wished was a certain sum of money from his school, and rather than
see the boys go to the Catholics lie said he would pay the amount from
his own pocket. We informed him that we desired him now not only to
educate his boys in book-learning, but also in the principle of paying for
their education. He now has all ihc pupils he can accommodate, and is
getting fees from them too.
OUTSTATIOXS.—
We decided to close Sclilifa as an outstation, but the people pleaded so
hard and offered so willingly for the work that we had not the heart to
refuse them. They carrieil the heavy end of the support of the teacher for
several months, and are now paying fees for their pupils; but the Jesuits
have spoiled the unity of the effort by sending the people a teacher who
has taken away a large number of the pupils.
In Kas Baalhec, as usual, the year has not passed without some
act of blind fanaticism.
A traveling monk, after holding special services for the confessional
and for the instruction of the ignorant, suddenly turned to anathematiz-
ing the Protestants. He raised the excitement to .such a pitch that the
people rushed out of the church to hunt the Protestant Bible and all its
associates out of the place. They ransacked the houses of the whole town
searching for books and Bibles, which they brought to the churchyard,
where another bonfire witnes.sed to the wrath of man which we hope ere
long will praise God.
The people of Kefr Zebat have done their best to keep their
school. The teacher was informed that it would have to be
closed, whereupon the people rallied to his aid and assured him of
the greater part of his salary, asking the Station to pay him but
one pound per month. Inasmuch as they were already fur-
nishing the rent for the school and for the teacher's house, the
offer was accepted as a token of better times in self-support.
Then the harvest was poor, and a plague carried off so many cat-
tle that the farmers had no oxen to plough with and very few
were able to sow their fields for new crops. Naturally they are
not able to give as they intended, yet they are courageously do-
ing the best they can. There is no priest in this town, and the
Protestant service is the only one maintained.
To sum up the results of the cut, 11 of the native helpers lost
their positions. Two others were transferred to another Mis-
sion, and two were temporarily retained by special arrangements
for their support. Three outstations remain closed, and other
branches of the work have been cut down. But what remains is
Bubstantial and in a healthv condition.
MISSION TO THE CHINESE AND JAPANESE
IN THE UNITED STATES.
Sax Francisco: Mission begun 1852; laborers — Rev. I. M. Condit
and ]\lrs. Condit, and Miss J. E. Wisner.
AnoxG THE Japanese: laborers — E. A. Sturge, M.D., and Mrs.
iSturge; native superintendent.
Oakland: Mission begun 1877; "
Portland, Oregon: laborers — Rev. W. S. Holt and Mrs. Holt, and
Mrs. Ciarkson.
New York: laborers — Rev. Hide Kin and Mrs. Huie.
After careful consideration of the questions involved, the
Board has felt constrained to recommend the transfer to other
Presbj'terian agencies of a large part of its work among the
Chinese and Japanese in the United States. We thoroughly be-
lieve in the value of that work, but it is within the limit of
home Presbyteries, and therefore where it can be under their
watch and care.' It is believed that, so far as practicable, the
various forms of Christian activity in this country should be
vested in the duly constituted agencies for the supervision of
home-work. On the foreign field the Mission has the responsi-
bility for this local supervision, but with the exception of those
in San Francisco the widely scattered workers among the Chi-
nese and Japanese in the United States have neither the benefit
nor the check of Presbyterial relation and oversight. The in-
creasing demands from the foreign field and the inadequacy of
the gifts of the home Churches powerfully reinforce these con-
siderations. A Christian statesmanship dictates a forward
movement among the vast and accessible populations of Asia and
Africa. We cannot continue to close schools, cripple hospitals^
dismiss native preachers and teachers, and leave unfilled va-
cancies caused by death and resignation, while at the same time
we are expending nearly $25,000 a year among a comparatively
small number of Chinese and Japanese, who are in the immedi-
ate neighborhood of scores of churches, some of them strong in
numbers and wealth. It is fair to presume, moreover, that the
Presbyteries and local churches would take a deeper interest in
the work among the Chinese and Japanese, if it were immedi-
ately directed by them, so that the discontinuance of the rela-
tion with the Foreign Board will be to the advantage of all con-
cerned.

UNITED STATES — NEW YORK, CALIFORNIA. 261
Accordingly, the Board has arranged to leave to local agencies
the support of all its work among the Chinese and Japanese in
this country, save only in the city of San Francisco, where the
interests are of such exceptional magnitude and of such peculiar
relations to our work as to justify us in maintaining them as a
part of our regular foreign missionary operations.
NEW YORK.
The average attendance of the Sabbath-scliool has been 78, at
the Sabbath afternoon service 30, and at the Sabbath-evening
Bible class 25. The Y. M. C. A. meeting conducted by the mem-
bers themselves is growing in interest, and a Christian Endeavor
Society has just been organized.
The Rev. Huie Kin has statedly preached during the year.
The contributions have amounted to $GG1.69.
Fourteen young men are avowed Christians, six having re-
cently united with the University Place Church on examination,
and two on certificate. Two of our former scholars have united
with the Baptist Church. The Missionary Society supports two
schools in China, from which encouraging reports are received.
CHINESE IN CALIFORNIA.
Wu Ting Fang, Minister from China to the United States, ar-
rived April 12, with a retinue of 62 people. The different mis-
sions united in giving him a reception in the Chinese Presbyte-
rian Church, Dr. Condit presiding. A handsome Bible was pre-
sented to him, and another to his wife. x4n interesting response
was made by his Excellency, in which he spoke words deeply ap-
preciative of the good work done by the missionaries for his peo-
ple. A thousand Chinese were present.
TPIE CHEISTIAN ENDEAVOR CONVENTION.— The
Christian Endeavor Convention greatly stirred Chinatown.
Thousands of the young people thronged the quarters. Our
Chinese Endeavorers received great praise for their Christian
helpfulness along all lines where they could serve. They acted
as free guides through the Chinese quarters. They contributed
good music before the convention when they were called upon;
and the Rev. Soo Hoo Nam Art. conducted one of its devotional
hours with great acceptance. Curiosity to see Christian Chinese
might have been obtrusive at times, but everywhere and always
our boys were courteous Christian gentlemen. There are three
Chinese Christian Endeavor Societies in San Francisco — two
Senior and one Junior.
CHURCHES AND SCHOOLS— Church services have been
largely attended; prayer-meetings have been interesting, and the
262 UNITED STATES — CALIFORNIA.
(liij a]ul night schools have been satisfactory. Six hundred and
thirty-nine pupils have been enrolled during the year in the
evening-schools, and 504 in the Sabbath-schools. The teachers
have been faithful in giving the Gospel with secular instruction.
L'^pon tlie v.-hole, in numbers, in loyally, in the additions to the
Cliurch by baptisms and in contributions, this year ha-= been the
best year ever known in the Mission to the Chinese in California.
COiSrVEESIONS.— Forty-four have been baptized, and 38 re-
ceived on confession of their faith in Christ. Dr. Condit writes:
I had the pleasure of recei\'ing one on profe.ssion of faith, who was
baptized in infancy. I have laid my hands in baptism upon the heads
of probably 300 Chinese during my service of 28 years in California ; but
this is the first instance where I have received one who had been baptized
in infancy. He is the son of Elder Low Toy, and a bright, useful young
man.
Another, Ah Yung, had a remarkable conversion. She lived
in Fish Alley, one of the most malodorous spots in Chinatown;
but, through the faithful visiting of the missionaries, was led to
attend Church and hear the Gospel. She was one of three wives
of an old husband, wdio has lived far beyond his three score years
and ten, without a knowledge of Christ. Ah Yung was natu-
rally a sweet-spirited woman, so that when the Gospel was
brought to her, she ojjened her heart in loving faith. It was a
weird scene when the missionary, his wife and the Bible-reader
knelt in the wretched little room after she had been baptized. Her
poor, sad face was illuminated by the light from within, so that
her heathen husband said to Mrs. Vrooman, afterward: "There
seemed to be a light behind her face that shines through. I
think it is her new religion." Her last whispered words were
to Mrs. Yrooman: "Oh, do not cease to come when I am gone.
Keep coming and try to save the rest. Don't forget these chil-
dren. Tell them of Christ. Don't give them up." Her for-
given and saved soul went to her Saviour, even though her earth-
ly home was in Fish Alley.
BIBLE CLASSES.— Pastor Nam Art conducts a large Bible
class every evening in the school, jind on AVednesday evening fol-
lows it with a service for the unconverted at the same time that
the Christians meet for jjrayer in the Y. M. C. A. Eooms below.
Mrs. Condit's Bible class has an enrolment of 3-i. Yisitors, at
the invitation of the regular members, show that there is a mis-
sionary spirit in the class. The Bible is taught faithfully by all
the helpers and teachers in all the schools.
KEFLEX INFLUENCE ON CHINA.— The Christian young
men converted in the Presbyterian Chinese Missions of Califor-
nia had no suitable place where they could worship the true God
in their native village of Sung Ning, China. This was a great
UNITED STATES — CALIFORNIA. 263
grief to tliein, ami so they decided to "arise and build"" a eliureli.
Subscription-books were sent to their California brethren, and a
sufficient sum was cordially given. There was fierce opposition
on the part of the populace and magistrates in China, but it was
overcome; and now the Kong-Tuk Lai-Pai Tong, or Condit
Church, stands not alone as a monument to the faithful instruc-
tion given to these young men in the ^fission of California, but
to the consecrated eit'ort of these Christians in their own land.
The Church cost $3,000. A native pastor and teacher are also
supported by our Christians in California. Some time ago Lay
Guey, of Oakland, returned to China to visit his family.
Through his faithful life and teaching his wife has become a
Christian. She is so in earnest that she goes from place to place,
among the families of her accjuaintance, preaching in her quiet
way the Gospel of her newly found Saviour.
JUNIOR CLASSES.— In the Primary class, 40 little ones
gather every Sabbath to be taught. Many of these are found at
the Junior Endeavor, before the evening service. Four or five
of the members of the Senior society have charge of the Juniors.
They have a wonderful '"Look-out" Committee. They go out
and bring the little ones from heathen homes to the meeting,
and return them safely after the meeting is over.
The Whatsoever Circle of King's Daughters is under the lead-
ership of Mrs. Condit, and works in a quiet but effective way
among the heathen families.
The Loomis Memorial School enrolls 71 scholars, who are
almost all from heathen families. The pushing of the Gospel
light into the heart of Chinatown is a hopeful feature of this
school. The resignation of Miss Wisner, to enter a course of
study in the Cooper Medical College, was a great loss to the
school. Her eight years' experience and her knowledge of the
Chinese language made it difficult to supply her place. Miss
Brewer, of lovely consecrated spirit, succeeds to the care of these
little ones.
CONTRIBUTIONS.— This year has been one of the most
liberal years in the history of the Mission. For local purposes
the Chinese have given $264.00, and for benevolent purposes-
$624.00.
OUTSTATIONS. — Alameda has an evening-school of 45 and
a Sabbath-school of 26 scholars. Forty dollars have been given
for local purposes, and $62.00 for Missions. There are six Chris-
tians, one of Avhom was baptized during the year. Miss Gar-
rette and Miss Fraser are the teachers.
Los Angeles has two teachers. Miss Boone and Mrs. Noble.
Fifty havebeen taught in the evening-school and 39 in the Sab-
264 UNITED STATES — JAPANESE WORK.
bath-school. Six have been received by baptism, making 37
members of the Church. Pastor Cheu conducts a very interest-
ing Bible class. The "Morrison Band," composed of the
church-members, was the leading band (out of 98 others in the
Presbytery of Los Angeles) in giving in proportion to its mem-
bership, and in faithful attendance at the monthly meetings.
This Church has given for local purposes $186.00 and $208.00
for Missions.
Oakland enrolls 55 in the evening-school and 50 in the Sab-
bath-school. Miss Lucy Yrooman and Miss Knight are the
teachers. The church membership is 32. Two were baptized
during the year. One hundred dollars were contributed for local
expenses, and $2G8.00 for Missions.
San Diego enrolls 40 scholars in the evening-school and 35 in
the Sabbaih-school. Mrs. G-. W. T3der is the teacher. Two
have been baptized, making nine Christians at this Station.
San Jose Station has two Christians. The evening school has
an enrolment of 41, and the Sabbath-school 35. Thirty-seven
dollars were contributed for local expenses and $10.05 for mis-
sions. Miss Burlingame is the teacher.
San Eafael enrolls 51 scholars in night-school and 24 in Sab-
bath-school, with the Misses Shaver as teachers. There are nine
Christians, one baptized during the year. Two hundred and
fourteen dollars given for local expenses and $38.00 for Missions.
Santa Barbara gave $135.00 for local expenses and $90 to Mis-
sions; 34 scholars have been in the Sabbath-school, and 50 en-
rolled in the evening-school. Mrs. L. H. Terry and Miss Ger-
ham are the teachers. There are 16 Christians at this Station.
Santa Rosa has an enrolment of 16 in the evening-school, and
15 in the Sabbath-school. Eighty dollars given for local pur-
poses, $10.50 for Missions. Mrs. J. Eoss has charge.
Stockton enrolls 41 pupils in the evening-school and 30 in the
Sabbath-school. There are four Christians, one having been
baptized this year. Eighty-one dollars and seventy cents given
for local expenses, and $24.50 for Missions.
JAPANESE WORK.
There are about 7,000 Japanese on the Pacific coast, and one-
half of this number make their home in San Francisco. They
are principally young men, and may be divided into three classes;
merchants, students and laborers. They are nearly all immar-
ried, and remain in this country but a few years. Lack of funds
has prevented us from doing much for the Japanese outside of
San Francisco, though we have church-members residing in sev-
eral places.
THE CHUECH.— The first Japanese Presbyterian Church in
Calfornia was organized May 20, 1885. Since that time 236
UNITED STATES^JAPANESE WORK. 265
have been added to its membership. During the past year 20
young men have been received, and since its close 1-4 more have
been added — the Largest accession at any one time in the history
of the Mission. A greater effort too has been made to build up
character, and the Church is now in better condition than ever
before. Last April four new elders were elected, and their in-
fluence over the little flock has been very helpful. The free-will
oft'erings amounted to $415, and were used entirely for evangelis-
tic and benevolent purposes. Two preaching services and two
Sabbath-schools have been conducted each Sabbath. These and
the mid-week meetings for prayer have been well attended.
SCHOOLS. — The public school and higher institutions of
learning are all open to the Japanese, and they are not slow to
take advantage of this privilege. Our two Japanese schools are
therefore for new-comers, who begin with us the study of Eng-
lish and continue about two j'^ears. It is during this period
that they usually become interested in Christianity. About
ninety students have been enrolled, the average attendance being
about fifty. All students who are not members of the Mission
Homes are charged a small tuition fee.
THE MISSION HOMES.— One hundred and forty-six young
men have been accommodated in our two Mission-homes. All
expenses, save the salary of the missionary and tliat of his assist-
ants, have been met by the Japanese themselves; the amount thus
given aggregating $2,531. They have also contributed $120 to-
wards the support of their teachers. Thus more has been ac-
complished than ever before in the way of self-help. The Y. M.
C. A. connected with the Haight-street home has 96 members,
all but three or four being church-members. The "other home,
on Sacramento Street, has 70 members, all of whom contribute
regularly to the support of the institution.
OCCIDENTAL BOARD.
For the first time in many years, we must report an entire
change in the personnel of the Mission. In July, after an illness
of nearly four years, the gifted and beloved Miss Margaret Cul-
bertson, "One of God's noblest gentlewomen," passed to her re-
ward. Words cannot describe our sense of loss, but God has
not suffered the cause to languish. Other efficient workers have
been raised up. Mrs. Field has come into the work with the
wisdom and piety so necessary to the superintendent of a Rescue
Home. Miss Cameron, associate superintendent, is a competent
co-worker. Miss Brown, a teacher in the Home-school, Miss
Carruthers in the Occidental school, and Mrs. Vrooman, the
house-to-house visitor,, are admirably fitted for their special
duties. So that never has the Occidental Board had a more
prosperous year.
266 UNITED STATES — JAPANESE WORK.
During the year tlie ^Mission Home has sheltered 67 women
and girls. There are at present 40 inmates, classified thus:
Babies, 3; children, 10; young girls, 15; women and older girls,
13. The church-members number 19, of whom 9 united with
the Churcli during the year. There were 10 marriages and two
births in the Home. Seven girls have been helped to return to
China. They pa}^ their own expenses, rarely forgetting to leave
a gift for the work. Since the founding of the Home, over 700
girls have been rescued. There are two flourishing Christian
Endeavor Societies. The secretary of the Junior Society is only
seven years old, but her wisdom would sometimes set a theolo-
gian to thinking.
EDUCATIONAL.— Home School.— The enrolment was 31,
not including three remarkable babies, and their not very re-
markal)le mothers. A three-years' course of Bible-study has been
inaugurated, and is proving quite successful. The progress of
the girls is most gratifying, considering their former surround-
ings.
Occidental School. — Forty were enrolled. Much religious in-
struction is given, and strict public school methods and discipline
are enforced. There is a Missionary Society, and many poor
families in the Chinese quarter have rejoiced over the Thanks-
giving gifts of rice and fruits from the children of this Society.
Los Angeles and San Diego Schools. — The Los Angeles enrol-
ment is 18, with an average attendance of 12. A Sabbath-school
has grown out of the day-school. The San Diego School has
only seven pupils, but they are carefully taught.
EVAIsTGELISTIC— Three hundred and fifty women and 375
children were visited in their homes. Three were baptized.
The number to be visited increases from year to year, as families
are constantly arriving. Some who have returned to China have
written back to the teacher: ''We remember to say our verses,
and go to Church."
Mrs. Vrooman, the visitor in Chinatown, speaks the Chinese
language, and is faithful in her house-to-house work, often stay-
ing far into the night with the sick and dying.
During the year there has been much to encourage — an in-
creased desire to attend church, many questions asked about
what the preacher said, and open doors to all houses, instead of
many closed ones as formerly.
PORTLAND.
All departments of the work have been maintained with the
usual regularity. The night-school has had a fair but regular
attendance.
The Christians have maintained their character amono- their

own coiintiTinen. As usual, numbers have returned to China,
but we have yet to hear of one who has forsaken his Cliristianity.
A recent arrival bears this testimony:
I met one of your Presbyterian members and his wife in China. They
built a comfortable home, and invited their neighbors in to see it.
After a time he addressed the company, thanking them for
their congratuhitions, and saying, "It is true that I made money
in the Gohlen Hills (the name for the United States), and we
have a comfortable home; but we found something better. We
found Jesus Christ." He then proceeded to speak the Gospel.
There have been three conversions during the year — one in
Portland, one in Salem and one in Pendleton.
The Dispensar}^ has continued its beneficent work, treating
300 patients. The members of the Homeopathic Association
have very kindly and freely given their services, and the inci-
dental expenses have been paid by Chinese friends. One of the
converts is the result of this medical work.
The Eescue Home for Women and Girls is as useful as ever.
The first girl was taken from a brothel by Mrs. Holt. She has
grown up to be a fine young w^oman, and is in the Nurses' Train-
ing-school at the Portland Hospital. A prominent business
man recently said: "Jf nothing had been done here except to
save this one girl, it is worth all the Mission has cost."
House-to-house visitation is regularly carried on by Mrs. Holt.
In addition, she conducts a Woman's Prayer-meeting and
teaches the Woman's Bible class.
In Salem and Pendleton, faithful ladies have continued their
work. Sabbath-schools, night-schools, where possible, and such
preaching services as the missionary could give, have been con-
ducted. One young man, in addition to the three already re-
ceived, confesses himself a Christian. He will be publicly bap-
tized before long. Another man has almost decided to come.
All the expenses for work outside of Portland is provided for
locall}^, mainly by the Chinese themselves.
REPORT OF THE TREASURER.
The accompanying Financial Statement has been prepared
with great care, and it is hoped it will convey to the Church a clear
idea of the operations of its Board of Foreign Missions.
The Board, recognizing the importance of utilizing the most
approved methods of accounting, as well as the wisdom
Audit, of an independent Audit, engaged the services of the well-
known firm of Certified Public Accountants, Messrs
Patterson & Corwin, as its Auditors and Advisers, and their
certificate herewith attached covers the financial operations of
the Board for the fiscal year which closed April 30, 1898.
It may with justice be stated that the former Treasurer
strongly advocated an Audit similar to this.
Much time has been spent in evolving a system embracing sim-
plicity and economy, and it is felt that a decided gain has been
made which will show good results in the future.
In the examination, covering a long period of years, it has been
found that the amount heretofore stated as Permanent
Funds. Funds, given in total only, represented several Funds.
The revision of this, as well as of the other Funds of the
Board, is shown in Schedule 1. Hereafter the Permanent Funds
will be reported in two classes:
(1) The Permanent Endowment Fund which represents funds,
the income of which only is available for the work of the Board.
(2) The Special Endowment Funds which represent funds, the
income of which is designated for special forms of work.
The General Eeserve Fund represents securities and cash
needed to maintain the credit of the Board for outstand-
Credit. ing bills of exchange, which at times aggregate over a
quarter of a million dollars.
The embarrassment of receiving more than one-third of the
annual contributions during the last eight
Contributions, weeks of the fiscal year will be apparent to all.
If these gifts were made more generally through
the year it would result in a saving of interest charges, of econ-
omy in the office force, and would enable the department to pre-
268
REPORT OF THE TREASURER. 269
pare the final statements of the year without overtaxing the
officers and tlie clerical force.
The contributions of the year vary materially; in some quarters
there being a decided increase, and in others no gain. Until
April 1st, the aggregate increase was most encouraging, showing
in addition to gifts for the debt, a gain of $36,000.00 for the cur-
rent work. But during the month of April, the last month of the
fiscal year, this handsome gain was almost entirely wiped out.
To what extent the Spanish- American war was the cause of this
disappointing shrinkage cannot be stated.
The Debt of the Board as reported from time to time has
uniformly represented the excess of appropriations and
Debt, expenditures over the actual annual receipts. The debt
thus reported May 1, 1897, was $97,454.47, and not the
least pleasing feature of the work of the year has been the com-
plete removal of this burden, which, in varying amount, has ex-
isted since 1893. An effective agency in this happy result was the
loyalty and generosity displayed by the missionaries under com-
mission of the Board. Their example of devotion and self-sacri-
fice gave a strong impetus to the movement, and this lesson from
the field should not soon be forgotten.
In rejoicing over this success it must not be forgotten that
gratitude can best be expressed by the display of
New Duties, increased consecration and enthusiasm in meeting
the responsibilities of the new year. If a debt is
not again to cast its blighting shadow upon the work, the Church
and the people must contribute in increasing measure even to
keep the work up to its present curtailed volume.
It is the fixed principle of Ihe Board to institute wise econ-
omies wherever possible, and during the year past, no
Economy, small gain has been made in this direction. It is con-
fidently hoped, however, that the coming year Avill
show further reductions in the Administrative expenses of the
Board.
There are also in contemplation changes affecting Mission
accounting tending to minimize the labor of
Mission Field Treasurers, and also give the Board a more
Accounting. complete knowledge of the financial transactions
abroad.
Whatever contributes to a closer fellowship between the Board

and its Missionaries, even in matters of business or finance, -adds
to the effectiveness to the work.
The investments of the Board are in the main most satisfac-
tory. Many of the securities have been gifts to
Investments, the Board, and while practically all of them yield
a good income they do not in all cases represent
the class of security in which the Board would feel at liberty to
invest the permanent funds under other circumstances.
The Operating Account of the Presbyterian Building has
shown a decided and encouraging gain, and the
'*Buiid*n'''^" prospect is hopeful that the building will
ere long yield an income upon the equity
in the property, aside from giving the Board free rental. The
■schedule given in the financial statement will show quite fully
the basis for this expectation. By compressing the work into
briefer compass, the Board has been able to rent the Board of
'Ohurch Erection three rooms on the Foreign Mission floor, there-
by materially increasing its revenue, although not showing this
year, as the rental of but one ,apd one-half months could be
included.

Dear Sir: —
We have completed, as far as practicable at the present time,
an audit of the Treasurer's accounts for the year Just closed.
On account of the methods in use during the past, we have not
been able to verify the receipts in a manner entirely satisfactory
to us; but we have, however, verified the receipts for eleven
months with the published detailed monthly statements in "The
Church at Home and Abroad," and find them to agree with ex-
ception of some typographical errors in the published statements.
The receipts for April could not be verified in this manner, as
they have not yet been published. The receipts were also
checked and verified into the various bank accounts, and were
found correct. \\e have counted the cash and find it as stated.
We have checked the accounts of the Treasurer for various
expenditures made in New York and the amount paid by liim to
the different Field Treasurers.
A\'e have not been able to verify the disbursements made by
the Field Treasurers or the remaining unexpended balances in
their hands, as their statements for the fi^scal year ended April
30, 1898, will not be received in New York for several months.
The surplus ($3,549.70) shown on the Balance Sheet herewith
presented is, therefore, subject to change should the Field
Treasurers prove to have saved on or exceeded their appropria-
tions for the past year.
The surplus is also subject to certain unadjusted balances with
the various missions for the years previous to the one just ended,
and which cannot be closed until further information is obtained
from the field.
We have made an examination of the different funds held by
the Board, our investigation extending, in some instances, as far
back as 1870; the result appearing in the Balance Sheet Sched-
ule 1.
We have counted the securities shown on the Balance Sheet,
and find them to be correct.
Eespectfully submitted,

Seventy-Ninth Annual Report.
The Board of Education, in presenting to the General Assembly
its 79th annual report, is called upon to make sorrowful allusion to
the death of the Rev. D. W. Poor, D. D., which occurred in the city
of Newark, on the i ith of October, 1897, in the 80th year of his age.
He had devoted 17 years of his long and busy life to the cause of
Ministerial Education as Corresponding Secretary of this Board, from
1876 to 1893, when failing health compelled him to lay aside the
burden of official duty. Due record has been made in the minutes
of the appreciation felt by the Board for the high character, scholarly
attainments, genial disposition, and eminent usefulness of this beloved
servant of Christ and of the Church. A Commemorative Service
was held on the first convenient occasion in the Walnut Street
Church, Philadelphia, where he was an attendant. A tablet to his
memory has been set up by loving hands in the High Street Presby-
terian Church, Newark, N. J., of which he was the organizer and
which he served for twenty years as pastor.
The Board has also sustained a severe loss by the death of Mr.
Andrew Blair, who, from 1886, to the close of his life, gave most
faithful, intelligent, and zealous attention to the interests of the
Board. He entered into rest on the i6th of April.
The term of service of the following members expires at this
time:— John S. Macintosh, D. D., Irwin P. McCurdy, D. D.,
Hughes O. Gibbons, D. D., Geo. H. Stuart, Jr., Rudolph S. Walton,
and At A. Shumway.
Geo. Peirce, Esq., after 11 years of valuable service, has felt it
necessary to resign to the deep regret of the Board.
At the annual election, on the fourth of June last, Geo. D. Baker,
D. D., was chosen President, Jas. M. Crowell, D. D., Vice-Presi-
dent, Edward B. Hodge, D. D., Corresponding Secretary, and
Jacob Wilson, Recording Secretary and Treasurer.
CANDIDATES.
The condition of the treasury, as well as the inability of the
Church to press new work either in this country or in foreign lands
4 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE BOARD OF EDUCATION
on account of the state of the treasuries of the mission Boards, has
led to the adoption of an extremely conservative policy with respect
to the encouragement and assistance of new candidates. We have not
dared to go beyond what seemed to be the present willingness of the
Church to make use of their services when educated, and to give
them aid during the progress of their training. We cannot but look
upon the situation as most unnatural and unhealthy. The greatness
of the task committed to the Church never seemed so impressive, nor
the opportunities for vigorous prosecution of the work so abundant,
and the youth of the Church probably never showed a greater readi-
ness to go to the front with the message of the gospel, and yet
retrenchment in expenditures, and the curtailment, and even aban-
donment of work, have been, to a certain extent, characteristic of the
times instead of progress.
Those who have an apprehension that this Board has been
instrumental in unduly swelling the numbers of the ministry ought
to be satisfied that their fears are groundless. The danger may lie
in the opposite direction. The total number of new candidates
accepted by the Board during the last year was 153, while the annual
loss to the Church by death and dismission is 174. A certain num-
ber of new men must be furnished each year simply to maintain the
Church in active existence, and the question is a somewhat pressing
one whether we shall provide the men from our own households,
trained in our own doctrines and in our own ways, or depend for our
supply upon sources outside of our own communion. Already we
are receiving ministers from outside at the rate of 91 per annum.
Two years ago the Board enrolled 1037 men ; last year gii ; and
this year only 814 ; of whom 661 were renewals and 153 new men.
The reduction in numbers has made possible a slight increase in
the amount of aid given to the individual students, and it is the full
intention of the Board, if the way be clear, to make the rate for the
coming season eighty dollars, as it was two years ago. This will
make necessary an increase of revenue to the amount of at least eight
thousand dollars, or a still further reduction in numbers.
A hopeful sign is found in the disposition manifested by some
individuals, churches, and Sabbath-schools, to provide scholarships
for individual candidates. The advantages are that a more generous
provision is thus commonly made for the candidate, contributions are
largely increased, and more intelligently given ; while a personal
interest is excited in the welfare and progress of the young student
ANNUAL REPORT OP THK BOARD OP EDUCATION 5
by means of frequent reports of his standing furnished by his
instructors, and by the record of his successful work when he enters
upon his ministry. During the past year eighteen scholarships of
one hundred dollars each were thus given, besides one of one hun-
dred and fifty dollars, and the Newberry scholarship yielding about
five hundred, and a number of smaller special contributions. These
scholarships are given to candidates selected by the contributors for
various reasons, sometimes as coming from their own church or pres-
bytery ; except in the case of the Newberry scholarship, which is
given after a competitive examination.
It is an interesting fact that the two last Newberry scholars have
been sons of home missionaries, and that they have both, at the con-
clusion of their special studies, devoted themselves to mission work,
one on the home field and one on the foreign. The next Newberry
scholar will be chosen from Princeton Seminary.
The total number of recommendations received from the pres-
byteries for the current year was 846 ; so that 32 were refused. It
is pleasant to be able to report that the Board found itself able to
accept every candidate whose recommendation was received season-
ably and in order, and a limited number in addition whose cases,
while exceptional, commended themselves to its judgment.
Every effort has been used to maintain that high standard for
conduct, scholarship, and promise of usefulness, which the Board was
established to promote. Thanks are due for the cordial co-operation
of professors in the several institutions, without whose fidelity and
frankness in keeping the Board confidentially informed due watch
and care would have been practically impossible. One death has
occurred among our candidates ; eight have been dropped from the
roll upon information received of their having married, and a number
of others because of persistently unsatisfactory reports as to char-
acter, ability, or scholarship.
REVISION OF THE RULES.
The action of the last General Assembly made necessary a re-
vision of the rules. The sections relating to colored candidates, while
designed to make special provision for their benefit, were, neverthe-
less, sometimes interpreted as expressing distrust of the race to which
they belong. The rules, as re-writtten, by direction of the General
Assembly, have no longer even the semblance of any invidious dis-
tinctions.
6 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE BOARD OF EDUCATION
It is hoped that the new section setting forth a missionary
spirit as a prime qualification for the ministry, and suggesting to the
mind of each candidate the eminent propriety of his making an offer
of his services, at the conclusion of his course of study, for work in
mission fields, will prove of great good. The Corresponding Secre-
tary has used what diligence he could, by means of a circular letter
addressed to all candidates under the care of the Board, and about to
be graduated from theological seminaries, to turn their thoughtful
attention to work of this description. He has also diligently corres-
ponded with chairmen of home missionary committees, and synodi-
cal superintendents, in order that he might collect helpful informa-
tion with regard to needy fields where young graduates might most
suitably and helpfully begin their work in the ministry. The result
of this correspondence is to show that the fields are evidently white
unto the harvest, but that the means are largely wanting in the
treasuries of the missionary Boards to employ the laborers who are
eager to volunteer. Nevertheless the reports from the seminaries,
so far as received, indicate that the graduating classes will, in gen-
eral, promptly finds fields of labor.
MEDICAL MISSIONARY WORK.
A conference has been held, in obedience to the direction of the
last General Assembly, with the corresponding secretaries of the
Board of Foreign Missions in order that some conclusion might be
reached with regard to the degree of encouragement, pecuniary or
otherwise, which should be given to young men who may be dis-
posed to volunteer their services as medical missionaries. The need
of such a conference has sprung from the fact that quite a number of
candidates for the ministry have had their attention and their desires
turned toward medical missions, and have made earnest inquiries
with regard to the means of procuring the expensive and protracted
training needed for that work in case they turned from the study of
theology to take up that of medicine.
In the conference the extent of the de?nand under existing circum-
stances was considered. It appears that in seven years the Foreign
Board sent out 23 physicians to 96 ordained men ; that is to say 19
per cent, of the men sent out were medical missionaries. Our pro-
portion of medical men is regarded by other missionary societies as
very large. At the present time the medical missionaries at our
stations constitute 12 per cent, of the force. If the Board should
ANNUAL REPORT OF THE BOARD OF EDUCATION 7
send out 20 men in a year it is not likely that more than two would
be physicians. This may be taken as a fair estimate of the annual
demand under existing circumstances.
The source of supply has not been in the past altogether satisfac-
tory ; the proportion of failures among medical missionaries having
been greater than among ordained missionaries. This was natural
in view of the fact that the latter had been educated under the close
supervision of the Church, and their motives and qualifications
rigidly looked into at every stage. The offers from medical men
came sometimes from persons in whom was found a lack of college
training, want of knowledge of the Bible, and of experience in prac-
tical religious work, and sometimes of due appreciation of the sacred
character of the task set before them. The prospect is better for the
future in view of the increased care taken to present to students
during their collegiate and medical courses the spiritual aspects of
medical work in mission lands and the privilege of a self-denying
consecration of one's talents for life to giving healing to the desti-
tute in the name of Christ.
The qualifications which experience shows to be important in a
candidate for medical missionary work are, first of all, unquestion-
able piety, all the more to be trusted if hereditary, a full college
course, and this followed by the best medical training that the schools
and hospitals of our land can afford ; while, in addition, there should
be a thorough knowledge of the Bible, practical efficiency, and an
ability to deal with men concerning spiritual matters.
The supervision of the cayididates'' education is a question which
has not hitherto attracted attention, largely from the fact that more
than enough men have offered themselves for the medical work than
could be engaged, and a selection seemed possible by which physi-
cians of the type required could be procured. It is thought that
the mistakes which have sometimes been made in the past are not
likely to be repeated.
The result of the conference may be summed up by saying
that the demand seems to be limited at present to an annual average
of about two men, and that this number can be easily and satisfac-
torily secured by selection from the comparatively large number of
applicants without the necessity of making provision for aiding can-
didates during their course of study.
It seems important therefore to warn candidates for the
ministry that they should not give up theology for medicine
without the clearest indications of talent for, and a call to, the work
8 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE BOARD OF EDUCATION
of medical missions. At the same time we are of the opinion that,
when these indications are present, no better material for this work
is likely to be found, and that pecuniary assistance given to such
candidates under careful regulations would be money well spent,
INSTITUTIONS VISITED
In accordance with his prescribed duty the Corresponding
Secretary has visited many institutions, including Omaha Seminary,
Boulder High School, the University of Colorado, Emporia College
and the Normal School, Highland Park, Parsons, Coe, and Wash-
ington Colleges. He has made public addresses to the students,
held conferences with candidates for the ministry, both singly and
in groups, and used constant influence to stimulate them to put
forth their best exertions, and to set before their minds the highest
standard of character and scholarship. He has also visited and
addressed five of the synods, a number of the presbyteries, and
numerous churches.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
The income from all sources during the year is $66,361.21,
being $876.52 more than during the previous year. The income
from churches. Sabbath-schools, and young peoples' societies shows
a decrease of $1,312.73. The number of churches contributing is
3523 as compared with 3424 during the previous year. The
total indebtedness at the beginning of the fiscal year was $9,220.75.

On the tenth day of January the Board met for the first time in
their new and most suitable and convenient rooms on the fifth floor
of the Witherspoon Building, provided for them by the courtesy of
the Board of Publication and Sabbath School Work, to whom due
acknowledgments were made for the consideration displayed by them
in all the arrangements. The old quarters have been associated with
many scenes of interesting discussion and earnest prayer, and with
the presence and labors of men whose services have made them dear
to the Church, and they were left after a season of special petition
that the favor of God, experienced so constantly there, might be
still the portion of the Board in its new home.
All of which is respectfully submitted by order of the Board.
Edward B. Hodge,
Corresponding Secretary.

The Standing Committee on Education presented its report,
which was accepted, and, after an address by Rev. E. B. Hodge,
D. D., Corresponding Secretary of the Board, and others, was
adopted, and is as follows :
The Standing Committee on Education desires first of all to
commend, as a whole, the brief and admirable report of the Board
of Education ; being its Seventy-ninth Annual Report to the Gen-
eral Assembly.
Fitting allusion is made in the Report to the death of the Rev.
Dr. D. W. Poor, for so many years the devoted friend of Ministerial
Education, and the efficient Corresponding Secretary of the Board
up to 1893. An appropriate minute also occurs in the Records of
the Board, expressing its high appreciation of his character and
services.
Your Committee also notes with sorrow the loss sustained by
the Board in the death of one of its oldest members, Mr. Andrew
Blair, of whose long and valuable services the Board in its record
makes loving recognition.
In a careful review of this Annual Report your committee finds,
and marks several tokens of improved conditions, for which it
desires to make grateful acknowldgement to Jesus Christ, the great
Head of the Church.
I St. A slight increase in the income of the Board from all
sources, in spite of the continued prevailing financial depression.
38 ANNUAL REPORT OP THE BOARD OF EDUCATION
2d. A gain of 99 over the preceding year in the number of
churches contributing to this Board, showing a total aggregate
increase in the past four years of 378 churches.
3d. A shght increase also in the amount given to the individual
students, and the prospect that for the coming year this aid will be
increased to $So.oc for each student as against $70.00 last year, and
$60.00 the year before.
4th. The disposition manifested by some individuals, churches
and Sabbath vSchools to provide scholarships for individual candi-
dates, tending to a more generous provision to increased contribu-
tions and to a deeper personal interest in the candidates.
5th. That the indebtedness of the Board has been reduced dur-
ing the year by the sum of $1500, leaving the debt April i, 1898,
$7-720.75.
6th. That at the beginning of the year the Board entered their
new and beautiful rooms in the Witherspoon Building, provided by
the courtesy of the Board of Publication, and with no expense to the
Board of Education, which they gratefully acknowledge.
There are on the other hand a few things which your Committee
notes with regret :
I St. The continual decrease in the number of new candidates
that the Board is able to take under its care, so that onh^ 153 new
students were accepted during the past year, making with
" renewals " a total of 814 granted aid as against 91 1 the year before.
2d. The meagreness of the amount of aid which the Board
finds it possible to give to each candidate making application.
3d. That which is chiefly the cause of these two matters of
regret, namely, the large number of churches which have made no
offering whatever during the past year ; for, while there has been a
gradual gain during the past four 3^ears, in the number of contribut-
ing churches, for which we are profoundly grateful, there are still
4108 churches which made no offering during the past yeai, or more
than half of the 7631 churches reported on the roll of the General
Assembly's Minutes.
This ought not to be, and for this your Committee believes that
the pastors and ruling elders are largely responsible. Your Com-
mittee hopes that the annual gain above noted in the number of con-
tributing churches will go steadily on, until every church shall
make an annual offering, when the urgent needs of the Board will
be abundantly met.
Annual report of the board of education 39
We desire also to call the attention of the General Assembly to
the Conference had during the year between this Board, and the
Corresponding Secretaries of the Foreign Board, touching the degree
of encouragement to be given young men offering their services as
medical missionaries.
The result of this Conference, as summed up on page 7 of the
Annual Report, is to the mind of your Committee wholly satisfactory,
as the demand for medical missionaries seems to be limited at present
to an average of about two men each year, and can be easily sup-
plied from the large number of applicants without the necessity of
making provision for aiding such candidates during their course ol
study.
Your Committee also desires to call the attention of the Assem-
bh^ to the Treasurer's Report, that it may answer a criticism and
offer a suggestion. The criticism has been made and urged that the
expense of administration of this Board is too great in proportion to
the amount of contributions received. It is said that business men
in some quarters decline to contribute, and oppose church contribu-
tions on this account. It should be borne in mind :
ist. That the expense of administration decrea.ses proportion-
ately as the contributions increase ; that the paid officers and clerk
of this Board, as to quality and force, are absolutely necessary, but
they could equally well take care of the interests of this work if the
contributions were doubled, and the work thus enlarged, and we
suggest that the easiest way to reduce the ratio of expense to contri-
butions would be to double the latter.
2d. It must be remembered and emphasized that the adminis-
tration expense of such a work as this, covers and includes much
besides the mere handling of money, and the keeping of accounts.
It includes besides, that which is of supreme importance, the per-
sonal care and thought to be given by the Corresponding Secretary
to each individual case of nearly one thousand candidates, scattered
throughout the land, in 13 academies, 67 colleges and 15 theological
institutions, and representing about 170 Presbyteries. Few of us
fully appreciate the wisdom, tact and patience required, carefully
and efficiently to carry on this work ; and your Committee gratefully
recognizes the devotion and large-hearted service of our honored
Corresponding Secretary, Edward B. Hodge, D. D.
Your Committee is of the opinion that this work is really
economically administered, and that the absolute expense of adminis-
40 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE BOARD OF EDUCATION
tration is exceedingly small, and that an analysis and separation ot
the Treasurer's accounts, would show practically a large percentage
of decrease in the expense of administration, properly so called. We
suggest, therefore, that the Treasurer might properly take this mat-
ter under consideration, and might suggest to the Board such a
readjustment of accounts.
Your Committee would offer, besides, the following recommend-
ations :
ist. That the Minutes of the Board and the Report of the
Treasurer be approved.
2d. That the following members of the Board whose terms ot
.service expire with this Assembly, be re-elected : John S. Mac-
intosh, D. D., Hughes O. Gibbons, D. D., George H. Stuart, Jr.,
Rudolph S. Walton and A. A. Shumway ; that John Sparhawk
Jones, D. D., be elected to fill the place of Irwin P. McCurdy, D. D.,
removed to Kansas City ; that the election of Wm. H. Burnett,
Esq., to fill the place of George Peirce, Esq., resigned, in the class
whose term of service expires in 1900 be confirmed, and also the
election of Chasles P. Turner, M. D., to fill the place of Andrew
Blair, deceased, in the class whose term expires in 1899.
3d. That the Treasurer of the Board be requested to include
in his report of next year, and each year thereafter, a table showing
the total receipts from all sources for ten years preceding and includ-
ing the year in which the report is made ; that the annual reports
may thus always furnish a comparative history of receipts for con-
venient reference.
4th. That this Assembly also renews and emphasizes the
recommendations of previous Assemblies, that there should be more
earnest care on the part of pastors in seeking out desirable candidates
and encouraging them to undertake the necessary preparation for
the Gospel Ministry ; more systematic and sympathetic Presbyterial
care over candidates during their course of study, and more intimate
and pain.staking watchfulness on the part of our professors in Theo-
logical Institutions, as to the character, scholarship and conduct of
the candidates.
On behalf of the Committee,
T. D. Wallace, Chabman.
May 23, 1898.
Rules of the Board of Education
RELATING TO
CANDIDATES FOR THE MINISTRY.
I. — Dependence of the Board of Education upon the Presbyteries
OF THE Church.
1 . The Board of Education shall receive and aid candidates for the ministry
of the Gospel only upon the recommendation of a Presbytery of the Church ;
and the Presbytery is responsible for their examination, subsequent care, and
the designation of the annual amount of aid to be granted to them, within the
limits set by the General Assembly.
2. The Board will in each case look especially to the Education Committee
of the Presbytery for filling out and forwarding the form of recommendation
required for the reception of a candidate, and also for the pastoral care of the
same, until his entrance upon his official duties.
3. As a general rule, the Board will receive any young man of whose
examination and recommendation in conformity with its requirements proper
notification has been given ; but it shall be at liberty to refuse new candidates
beyond its ability to support them ; and it will not give aid to students from
the foreign missionary field unless they have been recommended by our foreign
missionaries abroad, or have come to study in this country by a special invita-
tion given from this Board upon the request of other duly recognized church
authorities, or of missionaries resident on the fields from which they come.
II. — Reception of Candidates.
I. The encouragement of a young man to enter the Gospel ministry is a
matter of serious concern both to himself and to the Church ; and it should be
given only by those who have proper knowledge of his mental and moral
character, accompanied with much counsel and prayer, and directly by a single
desire for the glory of God. Every candidate should join that Presbytery to
which he would most naturally belong ; and he should be introduced to it
either by his pastor or by some member of the Education Committee after such
acquaintaince as will warrant his taking the responsibility of so doing.
• 2. The Presbytery, in examining students with a view to their recommen-
dation for aid, must embrace such points as are indicated by the following
questions, to which definite answers, by the direction of the Assembly will
invariably be required by the Board : Give name of candidate in full. Age ?
Residence? Has Presbytery (or the Education Committee in the interim be
tween the meetings of Presbytery ) examined him on the following points, and
were his answers satisfactory ; — Piety ? Motives for seeking the ministry ?
Talents ? Health ? Promise of Practical efficiency ? Is he free from expensive
and injurious habits? How long has he been a communicant in a Presbyterian
church ? Give the name of the church. If in an academy, give name of
academy and class. If in College, or ready to enter, give name of College and
class. If in Seminary, or ready to enter, give name of Seminary and class. If
in a Theological Seminary, has he pursued a full collegiate course ? If so, give
the name of the College of which he is a graduate. If not a college graduate,
has he had the equivalent of a college course ? If so, send a detailed statement
of his previous studies and career. Has he been recommended to Presbytery
by his Church Session ? Can he recite the Westminster Shorter Catechism ?
What is the smallest amount required to meet his really necessary expenses to
the end of the fiscal year, viz. , April ist ? Has he read a copy of the rules ? Does
he accept the requirements contained in them ? At a meeting of the Presbytery of
. . . (or of the Education Committee) held at . . .on the .... day of
42 ANNUAL REPORT OF THK BOARD OP EDUCATION
189 , the candidate for the ministry named above, having been sat-
isfactorily examined as to the points indicated by the foregoing questions, was
recommended to the Board of Education for aid to the amount specified.
Signed by . . . Chairman Educational Committee.
3. No candidate shall be received by the Board who has not been a member
of the Presbyterian Church, or of some closely related body, for at least one year ;
who has not been recommended to the Presbytery by the Session of the Church
of which he is a member ; and who is not sufficiently advanced in study to
enter college, except in extraordinary cases.
III.— SCH01.ARSHIPS.
1. The annual scholarships to candidates shall be the same in amount for
theological and collegiate students, and not exceed f 150 ; for those in the
preparatory course the amount shall not exceed f 100.
2. These Scholarships shall be paid to a student only on the reception of
particular and satisfactory reports from his professors, embracing the following
points : Christian Character ? Scholarship ? Rhetorical Ability ? Puncuality ?
Economy ?
3. The Board may increase or diminish in a general ratio, the Scholarships
in case of unusual surplus or deficiency in funds.
4. No payment shall be made in advance. Each payment shall be
acknowledged by a receipt signed by the candidate, or by the person author-
ized by him to receive it. And this receipt shall contain a pledge to return
che amount given, with interest, in case he of his own accord turn aside from
his ministerial calling.
5. In order to suit the period when the students most need assistance, and
when the reports from professors can be most satisfactorily made, the reports
shall ordinarily be made on the first days of October, January and April. The
payments of a student whose recommendation is made at any time between
those days may be expected to commence at the date of it.
6. The Board will in no case be responsible for the debts of students ; but
it is expected of them that the scholarship shall be first applied to the payment
of tuition and boarding.
7. The payments to the candidates shall cease regularly at the close
of the collegiate year ; or earlier, when the time for which they were recom-
mended by the Presbytery has expired ; and also as soon as it is determined that
they are suffering from prolonged ill-health which may unfit them for the work
of the ministry ; or as soon as their private circumstances enable them to
dispense with assistance : and if they have been manifestly improvident, or
have contracted debts without reasonable prospect of payment, or if they have
married since the last payment, or if they have received assistance from any
other educational board or society, the entire three months' appropriation shall
be forfeited.
8. The sums of money appropriated by the Board shall be refunded to it,
with interest, in case a student fails to enter on,or continue in, the work of the
ministry (unless it appears that he is providentially prevented) ; or if he ceases
to adhere to the standards of the Presbyterian Church ; or if he changes his
place of study contrary to the directions of the Presbytery, or continue to
prosecute his studies at an institution not approved by it or by the Board ; or
if he withdraws his connection from the Church of which this Board is the
organ, without furnishing a satisfactory reason.
9. A scholarship afforded by the Presbyterian Church, through the Board
of Education, is not to be given or regarded as a loan, to be refunded by those
who comply with these rules and regularly enter the ministry, but as her
cheerful contribution to facilitate and expedite their preparation for it ; and
they are only obliged by it to a warmer interest in her efforts for the advance-
ment''of the Redeemer's kingdom, and especially to the use of the means
necessary to instruct and stimulate her members in the duty of multiplying and
sending forth preachers of the Gospel of salvation to all the world.
ANNTJAI, REPORT OF THE BOARD OF EDUCATION 43
10. While the Church in providing scholarships for her candidates, makes
no specific conditions as to the particular kind of service in the ministry.
which they will be expected to render upon the completion of their theological
training, nor as to the character or situation of the place where they shall labor
nevertheless her judgment is that they otight to cultivate a missionary spirit
as Christlike, apostolic, and timely, and that it would be highly becoming in
them, under all ordinary circumstances, to offer their services, at the conclusion
of their education, for work in missionary fiields ; ever remembering the
abounding destitution in our own country, as well as in foreign lands ; the
peculiar fitness of young men for such work ; the honor privilege, and advan-
tage pertaining to it ; the natural expectations of the Church which has trained
them in the hope that they would endure hardness as good soldiers ; and, above
all, the spirit of the last command of our ascended L/ord.
IV. — Care of Candidates.
1. Candidates are required, except in extraordinary cases, and then only
with the explicit pennission of their Presbyteries, to pursue a thorough course
of study, preparatory to that of theolog}-, in institutions that sympathize with
the doctrinal teachings of the Presbyterian Church ; and, when prepared, to
pursue a three years' course of theological studies in some seminary connected
with the same Church, and no work of preaching is allowed to interfere with
the diligent and faithful prosecution of their prescribed studies until the close.
2. The Board can rely only upon the Education Committee of each Pres-
bytery for the regular care of its own Candidates, which should include the
constant exercise of a parental oversight over them in spiritual things, and the
bestowment of the counsel they need as to their mode of preparation, their
place of study, their trials, and the occupation of their time, while not engaged
in study, in employments which will tend to qualify them for effective usefulness
as pastors or evangelists.
3. The Board shall assist the Presbyter}' in its care of candidates, by fur-
nishing annually to the Education Committee, a summary of information from
the professors' reports as to the standing of each student ; and the Corresponding
Secretary shall exercise a general supervisory care over them, also visit and
address them, when practicable, at the institution where they are, in regard to
their duties and the claims of the ofiice which they have in view.
4. The recommendation of each candidate must be annually renewed by
his Presbytery, if possible, at the spring meeting, in connection with one from
the Session of the Church of which he is a member, and a specification must be
made of the amount needed by him ; and until the notification of these points
has been received, a student will not be considered as upon the roll for the year.
5. Recommendations, or renewals of them, made by an Education Com-
mittee in the interim of the Sessions of a Presbytery, shall be received as suffi-
cient, provided its action is reported to the Presbytery at the next session, and
not countermanded to the Board.
6. If, at any time, there be discovered in a student such defect in capacity,
diligence, and especially in piety, as would render his introduction into the
ministry a doubtful measure, it shall be the sacred duty of the Board to com-
municate without delay the information received to the Education Committee
of his Presbytery ; and if, on careful inquiry on the part of the Presbytery, no
satisfactory explanation of the defect can be obtained, or if no response be
received by the Board from the Presbytery or from its Committee on Education
within the current quarter, it shall be the duty of the Board to withdraw its
aid altogether.
7. Special care should be exercised by the Presbytery in the examination
of students who are about to enter upon the theological course, according to
the instructions of the Form of Government (Chap. XIV., Sec. 3) : and this
examination should be conducted by the Presbyterv, and be entirely satisfactory
as to the ' ' real piety ' ' of the students, ' ' and the motives which have influenced
them to desire the sacred office," before they are allowed to take the final
step tow'ards assuming its great responsibilities.
44 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE BOARD OF EDUCATION
8. The annual report, occasional publications of this Board, and a copy of
the Confession of Faith, shall be sent gratis to all students under its care who
request them.
V. — Particui^ar Duties of Candidates.
I. Inasmuch as the great aim of the Church, in the establishment of the
Board of Education, is the increase of holy and faithful preachers of the
Gospel, the young brethren who look to this work are earnestly and aflFectionately
reminded that all intellectual acquisitions are of little value without the
cultivation of piety, and that they are expected and required to pay special
attention to the practical duties of religion, such as reading the Scriptures ;
secret prayer and meditation ; occasional acts of special consecration of them-
selves to Christ and to His service, as their Redeemer and as the Lord of all ;
attendance at regular meetings on the Sabbath and during the week ; endeavors
to promote the salvation of others ; and the exhibition at all times of a pious
and consistent example.
' 2. Inasmuch as the scholarships granted by the Board will necessarily fall
short of a full support. of the students, it will be expected that they and their
friends will make all proper exertions to supply whatever may be wanting.
3. When a student shall find it necessary to relinquish study for a time, in
order to increase his means for support, by teaching or otherwise, he shall first
obtain the consent of the Education Committee of the Presbyter\', or of the
Board ; and if, when given, he shall not be absent from study more than three
months, his scholarship will be continued ; but if longer, it will be discontinued,
or continued in part according to circumstances.
4. It shall be the duty of each candidate connected with the Board to
report himself, soon after the meeting of the General Assembly, to the
Education Committee of his Presbytery, as to his progress, wants and prospects;
and when any of the requisitions of the Board which affect him may not be
carried out by teachers or others, it becomes his duty to see that they are
attended to, that delays and losses to himself may be prevented.
5. The reception of a scholarship by a student shall be considered as
expressing a promise to comply with all the rules and regulations of the Board.
VI. — Exceptional Cases.
1. The Board will not ordinarily take under its care as candidates for the
ministry any who have not completed a course preparatory to college. If
exceptional cases are recommended by presbyteries the Board should be
certified that there has been a season of thorough trial and approval under
competent teachers, through two or three years.
2. Such students are not to expect the benefit of scholarships for more
than two years before entering college.

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE BOARD OF EDUCATION 47
HINTS to the Chairmen of Education Committees of Presby-
teries as to the Recommendation of Candidates to the
Board of Education for Aid.
AKE SURE before any other action is taken, that the candidate has
been recommended to Presbytery by the Session of his Church, as this
is the fundamental requirement.
Always use the recommendation blanks provided by the Board.
Never put renewals on blanks intended for first recommendation ; never
put first recommendations on renewal blanks. You will thus prevent serious
confusion at the office of the Board.
Write the recommendations plainly in ink ; never use pencil.
Recommendations and renewals should be made, if possible, at the
Spring Meetings of the Presbyteries, and forwarded immediately to the office
of the Board.
Do not write anything on the recommendation blanks other than is
required by the answers. Additional notes of explanation which may seem
necessary should be sent in an accompanying letter.
Let every question be fully answered when the recommendation is first
forwarded ; otherwise additional correspondence will be necessary, and much
delay and inconvenience may arise.
In stating the place and stage of study of the candidate name the class
and institution in which he will be under instruction yt>r the year which the
iccommendation is intended to cover ; e. g. , if the recommendation is made out
in the Spring, name the institution and class which the candidate is to enter in
the fall.
If a candidate, who has at any time previously been under the care of the
Board, comes to you from another Presbytery, send to us your recommendation
in the form of a rcncica! ; and give us the name of the Presbytery from which
you rccc-ive liini.
If 1he caididate does not propose to pursue his studies, preparatory lo
llicology, ill an institution which sympathizes with the doctrinal teachings of
the Presbyterian Church [as our rules require, except in extraordinary cases],
S;'nd us ihe assurai:ce that he has the explicit permission of his Presbytery,
a:i(l tlie reason for the permission.
If the candidate is from a foreign country, the assurance must be sent to
it.s Uiat li'j intends to exercise his ministry in the United States.
In corrcHp.)nding about a candidate, always mention the Presbytery tc
ul:ich lie bcluii_L;s. This will help us greatly in looking up his case.
I >u not mutilate the recommendation blanks, but mail them, properly
oldc 1, i 1 ;i large envelope. This will aid us in filing and indexing.
T.il^c no ac-ion without careful study of the printed rules prescribed for
u.;;- i;:utual gui lance b}- the General Assembly.

REPORT OF THE STANDING COMMITTEE ON
PUBLICATION AND SABBATH-
SCHOOL WORK.
I
(Appro\kd by the General Assembly.)
The Standing Committee on Publication and Sabbath-
school work would respectfully report as follows :
Your Committee have examined, with great care, the work
of this Board, as presented in its Editorial, Business, and Mis-
sionary Departments, and desire to bear testimony to the
faithfulness, wisdom, and good sense with which it has dis-
charged the important trust committed to its care by our
Church.
I. EDITORIAL DEPARTMENT.
During the past year the Editorial Department has issued
31 new publications, among which we find an American edi-
tion of the History and Standards of the Westminster
Assembly, by the Rev. Alexander ^Mitchell, D. D., a Manual
FOR Ruling Elders, by Rev. Wm. Henry Roberts, D. D.,
LL. D.; and since the close of the fiscal year the Chapel
Hymnal and the new Digest have been published, while
among the important books to be printed this fall will be a
Bible Dictionary for the use of Sabbath-school teachers, by
Prof. John D. Davis, Ph. D., of Princeton Theological Semi-
nary.
The success of the new Hymnal deserves special mention.
Already it is used by more than 600 of our congregations.
Its future is assured, and we owe a great debt of gratitude
to the men who for years gave so unselfishly their time and
energies for the production of this manual of praise which is
so largely a blessed bond of union in our Presbyterian
worship.
iii
IV
Nine (9) lesson leaves and four (4) illustrated papers repre-
sent the periodicals published, and while all of these stand
among the first and best of the Sabbath-school literature of
our land, we would especially mention the Westminster
Teacher and the Forward, as representing in scholarly ability,
in devotional spirit elements worthy of the highest commen-
dation, and when we think of the fact that 43.000,000 copies
of such literature are published annually, and scattered broad-
cast over the land, we are reminded most forcibly of the Tree
of Life whose leaves are for the healing of the nations.
II. BUSINESS DEPARTMENT.
It is very gratifying, and confirms confidence in the
fidelity and ability of those to whom this work is entrusted,
to find that as a strictly business enterprise it has realized
a net profit of about 10 per cent, on the amount of business
done, or nearly 16 per cent, on the very ample capital in-
vested, thus giving a net profit for the year of $31,047.04.
giving two-thirds of this amount, or $20,698.03, to the benev-
olent work of the Board, and one-third, or $10,349.01, re-
maining, as an addition to the working capital of the business.
The efficiency of the Board in the transaction of its business
is illustrated in the promptness with which the interruption
caused by the loss of the Chicago depository by fire was met.
The entire issue of periodicals for the month of April, and for
that quarter, for distribution in the district of which Chicago
is the centre, were burned in this fire, having been received
only a day or two previous. The subscription list being saved
intact, was forwarded at once to Philadelphia, and this entire
loss was made good by reprinting the various editions re-
quired, so as to reach, almost without exception, the entire
circle of subscribers, for their use on the first Sunday of the
month.
Your Committee desires to emphasize the fact which it
would seem is not always clearly understood, or fully appreci-
ated, that under no circumstances are the contributions re-
ceived by the Board from the churches. Sabbath-schools, and
individuals for the benevolent work, used for the publishing-
business. Not a dollar in any case of the funds contributed
for the Sabbath-school Missionary work of the Board, is put
into the business department. On the contrary, tivo-thirds
of the profits accruing from the publishing business are each
year transferred as an addition to the funds for prosecuting
the missionary work of the Board.
Your Committee recognizes, with great satisfaction, the
completion of the Witherspoon Building in Philadelphia, as
a Presbyterian home for the accommodation of the Boards
of the Church and other Presbyterian agencies centered at
Philadelphia. It should be noticed that, in the erection of
this building not one dollar of the funds donated to the Board
for missionary purposes has been used. These funds remain
in their former investments. There is good reason to expect
that the earnings of this building from rents, after providing
for the various demands for the accommodation of the de-
nominational boards, will ultimately enable the Trustees to
meet all the bonded indebtedness accruing in the completion
of the building. This result is looked forward to with great
satisfaction, and when that event shall be accomplished, the
income will furnish the Board a large additional revenue for
the enlargement of its legitimate missionary work. Your
Committee also expresses its appreciation of the efficient
service rendered by those who have had in charge the new
building, and who with such fidelity and sacrifice of time and
labor have brought it to a successful completion, and in the
name of the Church tenders sincere thanks.
III. SABBATH-SCHOOL MISSIONARY DEPART-
MENT.
The work of this Department is conducted along two dis-
tinct lines, Educational and Missionarv, the first seeking to
VI
increase the efficiency of existing schools; and the other or-
ganizing schools as evangelizing agencies in new and unoccu-
pied fields, and the development of this seed of the Kingdom
in the Presbyterian churches.
1. Educational Work.— -In reviewing the educational
work of the Board -your Committee is indebted to the exact,
systematic methods of the Board, which enables us to see at a
glance the methods employed for the accomplishment of its
aims.
In this connection the Twentieth Century Movement is de-
serving of special mention, and we hope the General Assem-
bly will do all in its power to commend this work, which
desires to signalize the entrance of the Presbyterian Church
upon the new century by bringing at least half a million of
scholars into our Sabbath-schools. In the further develop-
ment of its educational work, the Board stands ready to aid
and encourage the various forms of Synodical and Presbyte-
rial Associations and Institutes, to help every Sabbath-school
to make the most of its Children's Day and Rallying Day,
to reach through the Home Department to the "shut-in
classes," and especially to stimulate the memorizing of Scrip-
ture and the study of the Shorter Catechism, and we note
with pleasure that during the year there has been an increase
of nearly 50 per cent, in the number of those who have been
awarded Bibles for reciting the Catechism.
2. Missionary Work. — During the year 76 missionaries
have labored in 24 States and Territories, within the bounds
of 23 Synods and 63 Presbyteries.
Since the last Assembly we have been called upon to mourn
the death of the Rev. G. G. Mattherson, the faithful and
peculiarly successful missionary of the Board in the Red River
Presbytery, Minn., who during his four and a half years of
service organized 80 mission schools, with a membership of
2,864.
The Board reports a total of 1,028 new Sabbath-schools
VII
organized during the year, with a membership of 4,896 teach-
ers and 46,518 scholars. Thus the labors of our Sabbath-
school missionaries are producing enough churches annually
to form a good Presbytery, and the 472 clun-ches which have
grown out of the schools organized by the missionaries of the
Board during the last seven years would constitute two
Synods of the average size. These schools are cared for by
placing them under the direction of churches, where there
are any near enough; and, if this be not possible, then the
missionary is required to care for them till they be strong
enough to be organized into churches. The efficiency of
this oversight is shown by the fact that of the 938 organized
between April, 1896, and April, 1897, 709 of these are re-
ported this year as active, and from these 56 churches have
already been organized. For this important work the Gen-
■eral Assembly asked last year $200,000, and received of this
-amount less than 50 per cent., so that for the upbuilding of
the Church in the spiritual waste places of our land through
Sabbath-school missions our Church contributed a little over
nine cents a member.
RECOMMENDATIONS.
Your Committee beg leave to make the following recom-
tnendations :
First. That the appointment of the Rev. Alexander Henry
in the place of the Rev. Chas. Wadsworth, D. D., resigned,
and of the Rev. jMervin J. Eckels, D. D., in the place of the
Rev. Robt. H. Fulton, D. D., long one of the Board's most
faithful and valued members, who departed this life on the
1 2th of July, 1 897, be confirmed; and also that the following
gentlemen, whose term of office expires June, 1898, be re-
elected, viz.:
Ministers. Elders.
Rev. Charles A. Dickey, D. D., Robert H. Hinckley,
Rev. Robt. M. Patterson, D. D., LL. D., John H. Watt,
Rev. Louis F. Benson, D. D., William H. Scott,
J^EV. Alexander Henry, Charles H. Biles.
Vlll
Second. That Synods and Pres1:)yteries he urged to form
and sustain organizations for the more thorough develop-
ment of the Presbyterian Sabbath-school system; and, wher-
ever feasible, to hold Synodical and Presbyterial institutes
and schools of methods for the development of ef^ciency in
this department of our work.
Third. That in view of the 250th Anniversary of the West-
minster Standards, we would take opportunity to urge church
sessions, Sabbath-school Superintendents, and parents to a
more diligent teaching of the Shorter Catechism to the chil-
dren of the Church, and recommend the continuance of con-
tributions for the fund which provides a copy of the Bible as
a reward for memorizing that invaluable standard of our
Church.
Fourth. That in recognition of the inestimable value to our
children of a familiarity with the Word of God, we urge the
adoption of the Board's plan of memorizing the Scriptures
for Sabbath-schools.
Fifth. That we again urge the observance of Children's
Day and Rallying Day in all our Sabbath-schools, and that
in connection therewith a special efifort be made to secure
generous offerings to the missionary work of the Board.
Si.vtJi. That the attention of the churches be called to the
financial needs of this department of missionary work. The
Board will continue to be sadly handicapped if it must look
to the Sabbath-schools as its chief source of financial support.
ScvcntJi. That this Assembly, which has sought and en-
joyed so large a share of the presence and power of the Holy
Spirit, urges upon the Sessions and Sabbath-school workers
to make it their chief aim that the schools shall be centres
of spiritual power for the conversion of scholars, and the en-
thronement of Christ in their lives.
Eighth. That we heartily indorse the Twentieth Century
Movement, which the Board has recently inaugurated. This
^Movement furnishes a distinct and worthy object for the
efforts of our Sabbath-school hosts. The magnitude of the
IX
undertaking is recognized. The possibility of its accomplish-
ment depends upon unity of effort in the power of the Holy
Spirit. We recommend that pastors and superintendents
make both Children's Day and Rallying Day an occasion for
the explanation of this Movement, and that every Sabbath-
school be urged to heartily co-operate in it.
In behalf of the Committee,
John R. Davies,
Chairman.
SIXTIETH ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE
PRESBYTERIAN BOARD OF PUBLICATION
AND SABBATH-SCHOOL WORK.
With devout gratitude to God for the manifold blessings
vouchsafed during the past year, the Presbyterian Board of
Publication and Sabbath-school Work presents to the Gen-
eral Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in the United
States of America this its Sixtieth Annual Report, covering-
the year beginning x\pril i, 1897, and closing March 31, 1898
The Board has been called to mourn the death of the Rev.
Robert H. Fulton, D. D., one of its most faithful and valued
members, who departed this life on the 12th of July last.
The term of oflice for which he was elected will expire in
June, 1900. The Board respectfully requests the confirma-
tion of the appointment of the Rev. Mervin J. Eckels,
D. D., in his place.
The Board also requests the confirmation of the appoint-
ment of the Rev. Alexander Henry in the place of the Rev.
Charles W^adsworth, Jr., D. D., whose election in the place
of the Rev. Benjamin L. Agnew, D. D., was confirmed by
the last Assembly. Dr. W^adsworth declined the appoint-
ment because he was already a member of the Board of
Education. The term of oflice for which confirmation of the
appointment of the Rev. Mr. Henry is requested wall expire
in June next.
The term of office of the following gentlemen will expire
next month.
Ministers. Elders.
Rev. Charles A. Dickky, D. D., Robert H. Hinckley,
Rev. Robt. M. Patterson, D. D., LL. D., John H. Watt,
Rev. Louis F. Benson, D. D., William H. Scott,
Rev. Alexander Henry. Charles H. Biles.
SIXTIETH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE BOARD OF [May,
WORK OF THE BOARD.
At the beginning of the fiscal year covered by this Report,
and, indeed, throughout the entire period, it was feared, as
was the case throughout the preceding year, that, in con-
sequence of the depressed condition of the business of the
country and the incubus of debt still resting on the other
Boards of the Church, the operations of this Board would be
seriously embarrassed. These fears have not been realized to
the extent anticipated. While there was a slight decrease in
the contributions to the Missionary Fund, the Business De-
partment reports net profits in advance of those of last year.
The Sabbath-school and Missionary Department,
while it is privileged to report receipts by the Missionary
Fund of $1,034.12 in advance of those of last year, must
again report a falling off in contributions from churches.
Sabbath-schools, and individuals. The total decrease was
^2,891.09, distributed as follows: Churches, $1,348.77; Sab-
bath-schools, $655.64; individuals, $886.68. There was,
however, an increase of $805.08 in the total of the following
items — interest on invested funds and bank balances, and
on profits of sales by missionaries — thus diminishing the re-
duction in receipts from sources current throughout the
year to $2,086.01. On the last day of the fiscal year there
was received the annual contribution from the Business
Department of two-thirds of its profits, amounting to
$20,698.03. This contribution was $3,120.13 in excess of that
acknowledged in the last Report, and brought the receipts
for the year from all sources up to $114,845.62.
In order to a thorough understanding of the acounts of
this Department it should be remembered that the contribu-
tion of the Business Department, received on the last day of
the year, is not used, ordinarily, in defraying any portion of
the expenses of the year. It forms the balance, or the greater
Dortion of the balance, with which the operations of the new
1898.] PUBLICATION AND SABBATH-SCHOOL WORK. 5
year are carried on. In the beginning of the fiscal year cov-
ered by this Report there was a balance in the Missionary
Fund of $22,345.73 and the receipts from all sources (exclu-
sive of the contribution of the Business Department) amounted
to $94,147.59; the said balance and the receipts made a total
of $116,493.32. According to the balance sheet of the
Department (see Treasurer's Report, pp. 59, 60), the "Cash
expended" was $109,304.19, and this apparently indicates
a saving over expenses of $7,189.13. The Treasurer's state-
ment, however, respects only cash received and expended —
it gives no statement of unpaid expenses. At the close of the
fiscal year there were liabilities for office and missionary
salaries and expenses amounting to $8,063.59 which were to
be paid on the 15th of the following month, the regular pay-
day of the Board. Instead of there being a surplus of
$7,189.13, there was a deficit of $874.46 to be paid out of the
contribution of the Business Department. The balance
therefore, over liabilities, with which the Department begins
the operations of the new year is $19,823.57.
The number of missionaries actively engaged on the field
was about the same as that of last year. The number now in
commission is 76.* Our missionaries have labored in 23
Synods, located in 29 States and Territories. The whole
number of schools organized was 1,028; reorganized, 312 =
1,340. The organizations were 90 more than those of last
year, the reorganizations were "jy less, an increase in total of
organizations and reorganizations of 13. The number of
teachers and scholars gathered into these schools was 51,414,
being 911 more than last year.
It is the purpose of the Department to place as many new
laborers in the field as its funds will justify. The demand,
however, is beyond its present ability fully to meet. There
are no Sabbath-school missionaries within the bounds of
the Synods of New Mexico and Texas, and the Synods
*Two new missionaries have been appointed since the closing of the
year covered \>y this Report.
6 SIXTIETH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE BOARD OF [May^
of California, Oregon, Indian Territory, Colorado (for
Wyoming), and Missouri (for Arkansas) are making urgent
calls for men. The need is pressing. There should be at
the present time at least o)ie hundred laborers in the field, or
twenty-four more than are now in commission. The Depart-
ment may to a very limited extent answer the demand; in
order, however, to the appointment of an adequate force
there must be increased contributions on the part of the
Church.
Full information concerning the work of the Department
may be found on pages 14-38, 59, 60.
The Editorial Department issued during the year 31
new publications, including A Manual for Ruling Elders,
by the Rev. William Henry Roberts, D. D., LL. D.; The
Validity of Non-Prelatical Ordination, by the Rev.
George Park Fisher, D. D., LL. D.; The Anglican V^iew
of the Church, by the Rev. J. Oswald Dykes, D. D.; and an
American Edition of The Westminster Assembly: Its His-
tory and Standards, by the Rev. Alexander Mitchell D. D.,
LL. D.
Reprints of one hundred and eight (108) former publica-
tions of the Board — 27 bound volumes and 81 tracts and
paper covered books — have also been issued.
The number of Periodicals published was that indicated in
the last Report, namely, 9 Lesson Helps and 4 Illustrated
Papers. For reasons mentioned in the full Report of the
Department, The Geniiau Lesson Leaf will be discontinued,
Forzvard, which after the first of July last was doubled in
size has taken high rank amongst periodicals for youth, and
has achieved greater immediate success than was anticipated.
In order to meet the g-rowing interest in the Home Depart-
ment of the Sabbath-school, it has been arranged to begin
October i, 1898, the issue of a Home Department Quarterly.
This Quarterly will be made as attractive as possible, and will
be issued at the same price of the other Quarterlies.
1898.] PUBLICATION AND SABBATH-SCHOOL WORK. 7
Full information concerning all the publications of the
year may be found on pages 39-51.
The new Digest and the Chapel Hymnal will be pub-
lished before the meeting of the General Assembly.
The Department has also in press and will publish in the
fall the following new and important books:
The Sunday-school Teacher's Bible Manual, with
maps and illustrations, a Bible Dictionary, prepared by Prof.
John D. Davis, Ph. D. of Princeton Theological Seminary.
This work, which has been in hand for several years, is one
of the most important and useful ever undertaken by the
Board. It will be an invaluable help to Sabbath-school
teachers and also to older scholars and all who are interested
in thorough and intelligent Bible study.
The Fundamental Ideas of the Roman Catholic
Church. By Rev. Frank Hugh Foster, Professor of The-
ology in the Pacific Theological Seminary.
At the Evening Hour. Simple Talks on Spiritual Sub-
jects. By Ethelbert D. Warfield, LL. D., President of
Lafayette College.
The Business Department closed the year with net
profits amounting to $31,047.04, of which two-thirds, or
$20,698.03, were passed over to the Sabbath-school and Mis-
sionary Department, in accordance with the order of the
General Assembly. There has been an increase in net profits,
from those of last year, of $4,680.19, which, in view of the
pecuniary condition of the country during the last year, is
exceedingly gratifying.
An interesting feature of the work of this Department was
the distribution of 135 Free Libraries, containing 9,513
volumes.
Special attention is called to the statement concerning The
Hymnal on pages 8, 54.
Full information concerning the work of this Department
may be found on pages 52-59.

8 sixtieth annual report of the board of [may,
The Chapel Hymnal.
This new book, as before stated, will be published before
the meeting- of the General Assembly. The following- extract
from the Preface will set forth its purpose and character:
This book is the second in a series of three hymnals intended to cover
the needs of the Church through the whole range of its public worship.
The first, The Hymnal, was prepared as a complete manual of praise,
covering especially the Sunday services, but including also every side of
Church worship and work; the second, The Chapel Hymnal, is prepared
for those who prefer a smaller book for use in prayer-meetings, young
people's societies, and other social services; and the last of the series is
to cover the services of the Sabbath-school.
The Chapel Hymnal consists principally of those hymns in The Hymnal
which are best adapted for use in devotional meetings and of such tunes
as can be used to good advantage on such occasions; and ordinarily the
association of hymn and tune has been retained. In addition there have
been included in this book some standard hymns and tunes reserved for
this use when The Hymnal was prepared, together with some fresh selec-
tions of a popular character and a number of the more desirable "Gospel
Hvmns."
THE WITHERSPOON BUILDING.
The Board is gratified to report the practical completion
of the enterprise reported to the last three General Assem-
blies, of the erection of their new building- for the various
Boards of the Church located in the city of Philadelphia, and
which, as heretofore reported, has been designated the
Witherspoon Building.
The materials and construction of the building are in every
respect of the highest class. The building rests upon a
natural foundation of hard gravel, each post being placed
upon the substructure of steel beams laid in a strong concrete.
The steel frame carries the floors only. The walls rest upon
their own foundation, and are not hung upon the steel frame,
which was a common practice until a better way was found.
A stronger, safer, and more durable building, nor one more
nearly fire-proof, does not exist.
1898-] PUBLICATION AND SABBATH-SCHOOL WORK. 9
The building- is eleven stories in height, and is provided
also with a basement and sub-basement, making thirteen
floors in all. The basement is occupied by the Business
Department of the Board of Publication for storage and
packing. The sub-basement contains one of the most com-
plete mechanical plants anywhere to be found, all of the
apparatus being of the latest design and of the finest quality.
A boiler plant of four hundred and fifty horse power, with
room for an additional boiler of one hundred and fifty horse
power, three dynamos capable of supplying forty-five hun-
dred incandescent lights, elevator machinery for five passen-
ger elevators, a filtering apparatus capable of thoroughly
purifying three thousand gallons of water per hour (all the
water supplied to the building passing through these filters),
fire pumps connecting with stand pipes and hose on every
floor, and a complete refrigerating plant, with the necessary
pumping apparatus to furnish ice-water to every room in the
building, are comprehended under this head.
The store and business ofiices of the Board of PubHcation
occupy the first floor, and there is also upon the Walnut
Street front a store which has been rented for $4,000.00 per
annum. Upon the Walnut Street front the second and third
floors are occupied by the large auditorium known as Wither-
spo'on Hall, which comfortably seats one thousand and thirty-
six persons. The acoustic properties of this hall have now
been thoroughly tested, and are found to be perfect. The
decoration and lighting of the hall are such as to render it a
most attractive auditorium, and there is every reason to be-
lieve that it will yield in rentals from four to five thousand
dollars per annum. The Women's Home Missionary Society
and the Secretary of the Presbytery's Committee on Church
Extension have rooms upon the second floor; and on the
Sansom Street front a smaller auditorium has been provided
upon this second floor for such meetings as are ordinarily
held in the building by the various organizations of our
Church. The third floor contains eleven offices for rent.
lO SIXTIETH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE BOARD OF [May,
The general offices of the Board of PubHcation (including;
those of the Sabbath-school and Missionary Department)
occupy the fourth floor, together with the offices of the
Editorial Department, while the Mailing Department of the
Board occupies a large room at the north end. The fifth
floor is occupied by the Boards of Education, Ministerial
Relief, Women's Foreign Missionary Society, Stated Clerk
of the General Assembly, and the Presbyterian Historical
Society. The floors above the fifth are divided into one hun-
dred and forty-one offices for rent. These offices are un-
equaled by those of any other building in Philadelphia.
Every office opens upon the outer air, there being no dark
rooms, and each room is provided with an independent sys-
tem of ventilation.
The exterior of the building, in order that the ecclesiastical
ownership of the building might readily appear, has been
adorned with medallions and statuary modeled in terra-cotta,
grouped in such a way as to be at the same time effective
from an architectural point of view, and suggestive of the
history of the Church. The scheme of decoration embraces
three heads — emblems suggestive of Biblical history, those
suggestive of ecclesiastical history (especially such as pertain
to the American Church), and general historical emblems.
In carrying out the plan of exterior ornamentation the Board
received valuable aid from the Rev. Henry C. McCook,
D. D., who is probably the leading authority in the Presby-
terian Church in matters of this kind, and it is believed that
the ornamentation of the Witherspoon Building will
possess instructive significance. While all who see it know
that it is a building devoted to business uses, no one can look
upon it without realizing that its ownership and management
rest in the hands of the Presbyterian Church.
The fiscal year of the Board ends March 31st, and the
actual cost of the Witherspoon Building at that date was
as follows:
1898.] PUBLICATION AND SABBATH-SCHOOL WORK. II
Ground, $375,000 00
Paid on building contracts, 549.983 4i
Taxes paid during erection, 12,173 23
Ititerest paid during erection, 51.278 TJ
Commissions on purchase of property, 3.000 00
Insurance on $500,000 for five years 4.527 55
Total $995,962 96
The expenditures for fixtures and furnishings necessary to
the occupancy of the building of the various Departments of
the Board, and for the fitting up of the large auditorium, have
amounted to $25,264.67.
Final settlement of all building contracts has not yet been
made, but the additional amount payable on construction
account is estimated at $47,200.00.
The cash in the hands of the Treasurer of the Board
of Trustees on March 31st available for this payment
and for the reduction of the mortgage upon the property
was $158,455.35. There is at present upon the building
a mortgage for $500,000, held by the Pennsylvania Com-
pany for Insurances on Lives and Granting Annuities, which
has been procured upon terms which will enable the Board
to extinguish it by instalments; the provision thereof being
that upon the first day of May and the first day of November
of each year the Board shall have the privilege of reducing
the principal sum of said mortgage by the payment of any
sum desired by the Board in multiples of $5,000.
It is the intention of the Board, so soon as the building
shall have been fully rented (after setting aside from the
funds in the hands of the Board of Trustees an amount sufifi-
cient to afford ample reserve for any possible contingencies),
to avail itself of the provision of the mortgage hereinbefore
set forth by reducing the principal sum as rapidly as circum-
stances will permit. If the building were rented throughout
its whole extent it would have a rental value of $123,000 per
annum. About one-^third of the space, however, is occupied
by the various organizations and Boards of the Church, in-
12 SIXTIETH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE BOARD OF [May,
eluding the Board of Publication. The rental value of the
remaining portion of the building, including Witherspoon
Hall, is estimated at about $80,000 per annum.
Owing to the fact that the building was not sufficiently
advanced towards completion to afford comfortable accom-
modation to tenants until the latter part of February, 1898,
the Board was placed at some disadvantage in securing ten-
ants during the early part of this year, as many persons who
had been expecting to rent offices in this building, but whose
leases elsewhere expired on the first of January, were obliged
to renew those leases for another year. Notwithstanding
this fact, sixty-five ofiices have been rented at the date of
making up this report, and the aggregate rental thus far ob-
tained is about $24,000 per annum, an amount more than
sufficient to pay the expenses of maintenance of the building;
and there is every reason to believe that within the next six
months a sufficient additional number of tenants will be
secured to meet all charges of whatever kind against the
building; and it is hoped that the Board will be able to report
to the next General Assembly a substantial reduction in the
amount of the mortgage debt. The Board has never regarded
this mortgage as a permanent incumbrance. Upon the con-
trary, it has every reason to expect the entire extinguishment
of the debt in from ten to fifteen years. The property is so
admirably constructed that it cannot perceptibly deteriorate
within that time; and before any considerable amount of re-
pairs is likely to be necessary upon the property, the Board
expects that this splendid building will be entirely free from
incumbrance of any kind whatever, and its advantage there-
after for the proper transaction of the great business of the
Board of Publication will materially increase the usefulness
of the Board upon the business side, while all the net revenue
received from the building will be expended in missionary
work.
The location of the property is such that it cannot fail to
increase in value with passing years, and it is not unlikely
1898.] PUBLICATION AND SABBATH-SCHOOL WORK. I3
that the experience of the Board with reference to the en-
hancement of value of the site of this building will measurably
repeat the experience through which it has passed with re-
spect to the site formerly occupied on Chestnut Street. The
original cost of the Chestnut Street property was $151,626.42.
The amount realized from its sale was $448,000, an increase
in value during the twenty-six years of its occupancy by the
Board of $296,373.58, considerably more than $10,000 per
annum for every year during which it was used by the Board
of Publication.
BURNING OF THE CHICAGO DEPOSITORY.
On the 1 6th of March the building 215 Wabash Avenue,
on the fifth floor of which our Chicago Depository was
located, took fire in the middle of the day, and was consumed
in a few minutes. More than twenty of the inmates of the
building lost their lives, among them two of the employees
of the Board — Mr. WilHam A. Marvin, who had been for
several years in our employ, and a young man, William Boss.
The rest of our force escaped without serious injury. The en-
tire stock of books and periodicals and other property of the
Board was destroyed, with the exception of the contents of
one safe and the funds that happened to be on hand at the
time. The amount of insurance was $29,000 — $28,000 on
stock and $1,000 on fixtures. It is the practice of the Board
to keep fully insured, and there would have been no loss at
all in this case had it not been that the shipments from the
Depository of periodicals for the second quarter were de-
layed, owing to the late arrival of some of the papers. Our
loss, however, is small, and we have great reason to be thank-
ful that we escaped a much more serious catastrophe, both
as to loss of life and loss of property.
The new quarters of the Depository will be found on the
second story of the Atlas Block, situated at the northwest
corner of Randolph Street and Wabash Avenue.
14 SIXTIETH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE BOARD OF [May,
SABBATH-SCHOOL AND MISSIONARY
DEPARTMENT.
The Educational and Missionary branches of Sabbath-
school Work which, since the reorganization of the Board in
1887, have been united in this Department, constitute, to-
gether with the Sabbath-school publications of the Editorial
and Business Departments, a complete System, which may,
with propriety, be termed The Presbyterian Sabbath-
school System.
It has been thought best in this Report to present, in the
first place, a general Conspectus of the System as a whole,
and to follow this with particular statements concerning the
work of this Department.
From this general Conspectus it will be seen that the
Sabbath-school System of our Church covers a very wide
range. It provides through the Editorial Department of this
Board a full line of Lesson Helps and Sabbath-school period-
icals. Through the Business Department it furnishes libra-
ries and school appliances. Through the Sabbath-school
and Missionary Department it widens the range and elevates
the standard of teaching, and fosters the growth of Sabbath-
schools and their extension into destitute places of our
country.

EDUCATIONAL WORK OF THE SABBATH-
SCHOOL AND MISSIONARY
DEPARTMENT.
The Educational Work of this Department, as will be seen
from the foregoing Conspectus, is important and compre-
hensive.
1. Under the head Membership it prompts and stimulates
the activity of the schools in such matters as canvassing for
scholars, the formation of Adult Classes and Bible Unions,
the Home Department Movement, and the Twentieth Cen-
tury Movement for adding 50 per cent, to the membership of
Presbyterian Sabbath-schools between 1897 and 1901.
2. Under the head Organization it specially deals with
such questions as Sessional and Presbyterial Oversight,
Synodical Sabbath-school Committees, Presbyterial Sabbath-
school Associations, and Associations of Superintendents
and Teachers.
3. Under the head Teachers it fosters Normal Classes,
Institutes and Conventions, and provides Text-books on
these and kindred subjects.
4 and 5. Under the heads Gradation and Course of
Instruction it furnishes a system of class grading and
graded supplemental lessons, and develops the study of the
Shorter Catechism and the Memorizing of the Scriptures.
1898.] PUBLICATION AND SABBATH-SCHOOL WORK. I J
6. Under the head Anniversaries it brings the Sabbath-
schools into line in the observance of Children's Day and
Rallying Day, providing forms and orders of exercises and
developing a plan of benevolence for the promotion of Sab-
bath-school Missionary Work.
7. Under the head Reports it collects and publishes all
the available statistical information relating to Presbyterian
Sabbath-schools.
THE TWENTIETH CENTURY MOVEMENT.
The object of this Movement is to signalize the entrance
of the Presbyterian Church into the new century by bringing
in at least half a million of scholars into her Sabbath-schools;
in other words, by increasing the Sabbath-school member-
ship from about a million — where it stood at the beginning
of 1897 — to a million and a half on or before April i, 1901,
the beginning of the first ecclesiastical year of our Church in
the twentieth century.
The Twentieth Century Movement was started in the
fall of last year, and the intervening time has been largely
occupied in various forms of preliminary work essential to the
launching of an enterprise designed to reach and benefit the
Sabbath-school interests of the entire Church. The Super-
intendent of the Department in the first instance addressed
a circular letter to a number of representative brethren
closely identified with Sabbath-school work, giving them
an outline of the plans proposed, and inviting criticism and
counsel. The replies were, without a single exception, favor-
able. The opinion of all concerned seemed to be that the
time was well chosen for such an aggressive work through-
out our Church. Thus encouraged, the Superintendent laid
the matter before the Sabbath-school and Missionary Com-
mittee, and, with their sanction and that of the Board, pro-
ceeded to elaborate the plan in detail and to circulate it
throughout the Church. The responses thus far have been
singularly unanimous, indicating the existence throughout
l8 SIXTIETH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE BOARD OF [May,
our Church of a strong desire and yearning for spiritual in-
crease, and particularly for the spiritual welfare of the chil-
dren and youth of our land. The subject was not brought
generally before the Synods last fall, but five of them took
spontaneous action and passed resolutions of the strongest
character in its favor. These Synods were Baltimore, Cali-
fornia, Indian Territory, Iowa, and New Jersey. The Sab-
bath-school Associations of the Presbyteries of Pittsburg
and Allegheny and the Sabbath-school Superintendents' As-
sociation of Philadelphia warmly indorsed and adopted the
Movement. The Sabbath-school Committees of eighty-
nine Presbyteries have thus far been heard from, all in ap-
proval, and the Department is daily receiving responses from
Sabbath-schools promising their earnest and active co-
operation.
With the cordial approval of this Assembly, followed, as is
hoped will be the case, by Synodical and Presbyterial in-
dorsement and action throughout the Church, there is every
reason to hope that this Movement will become general, and
result not only in a striking addition to the membership of
our Sabbath-schools, but also in a widespread revival of
religion.
The Department is fully alive to the magnitude of the
effort to add fifty per cent, to the Sabbath-school member-
ship of our Church within four years. The increase during
the quadrennium immediately prior to April, 1897, was
115,400, or about 12.7 per cent, over the membership of
1893. To multiply this rate by four for the quadrennium
ending April, 1901, means the calling out of immense latent
spiritual forces from within the Church, and this cannot be
done by any human agency. The presence and influence of
the Holy Spirit are necessary in order to bring about such a
glorious result. This will move the hearts of our people as
the heart of one man, and the work will be done.
1898.] PUBLICATION AND SABBATH-SCHOOL WORK. I9
ASSOCIATIONAL WORK IN SYNODS AND
PRESBYTERIES.
This feature of Sabbath-school work deserves far more
attention than it has heretofore received in our Church. The
number of these Associations at present is small, but where-
ever they have been established they have proved to be of
striking utility in promoting the interests and the efficiency
of Presbyterian Sabbath-schools. The example of the
Synod of Ohio and of the Presbyteries (amongst others) of
Allegheny, Baltimore, Cincinnati, Pittsburg, and Philadel-
phia— in all of which flourishing Sabbath-school and Super-
intendents' Associations exist — should be followed in this
respect by every Synod and Presbytery in our Church.
Without questioning the usefulness of interdenominational
associations, or undervaluing the opportunities they present
for fraternal fellowship among Sabbath-school workers of
different churches, it may be said with confidence that they
cannot take the place of the Synodical and Presbyterial As-
sociation for Presbyterian schools. Topics of a denomina-
tional character cannot be even mooted in the interdenomi-
national association. Our superintendents and teachers
need the strength and stimulus afforded by the fellowship
and counsel of their brethren, as well as the opportunity of
discussing and taking action upon purely denominational
questions.
The Department encourages the formation of these Syn-
odical and Presbyterial Associations by every means in its
power.
CHILDREN'S DAY AND RALLYING DAY.
The observance of these special anniversaries is on the
increase among our Sabbath-schools, Children's Day falling
by direction of the Assembly on the second Sabbath in June,
and Rallying Day on the last Sabbath in September. The De-
partment prepares special programmes of exercises for each
:20 SIXTIETH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE BOARD OF [May,
anniversary, and furnishes them, together with mite boxes
and envelopes for collecting the offerings, to the Sabbath-
schools of our Church, without charge.
The number of Sabbath-schools using these programmes
last year on Children's Day was 4,515, and on Rallying Day
1,509. The amount contributed by Sabbath-schools during
the year to the Missionary Fund of this Board was
$51,976.70.
SABBATH-SCHOOL REPORTS.
The attention of Pastors, Sessions, and Sabbath-school
■Superintendents is earnestly called to the importance of
promptly and accurately filling in the statistical blanks fur-
nished to them by the Stated Clerks of the Presbyteries, and
forwarding them to the person designated thereon for com-
pilation in the Annual Sabbath-school Reports. Chairmen
of Presbyterial Sabbath-school Committees are also urged to
promptness in preparing and forwarding their Reports to
this Department in the month of April or May, so that they
may be in time for incorporation in the statistical tables pre-
pared by this Department for the Annual Minutes of the
•current year.
the: home DEPARTMENT.
This important feature of Sabbath-school Work is fully
•explained in the leaflets and circulars issued by this Depart-
ment. The membership reported in 1897 was 18,858 — a
number which should be very largely increased. The De-
partment promptly sends samples of Visitors' Books and
of other appropriate supplies, with prices, upon application.
WESTMINSTER CATECHISM STUDY.
The general interest felt throughout the Presbyterian
Church in the 250th Anniversary of the completion of the
Shorter Catechism naturally points towards the revival of
1898.] PUBLICATION AND SABBATH-SCHOOL WORK. 21
Catechism study. It is not, therefore, surprising that there
has been an increase this year of nearly 50 per cent, over the
previous year in the number of Oxford Bibles awarded to
scholars in our Sabbath-schools for reciting the Catechism.
The number of these awards during the past year was 2,177.
There was also an increase in 1897 over 1896 (the figures
for 1898 are not yet prepared) of 337 Sabbath-schools giving
an affirmative answer to the question on the statistical blanks,
"Is the Shorter Catechism taught?" There is still room for
improvement, however, in this respect, since out of 7,757
schools reporting in 1897, 2,426 gave a negative answer and
1,277 l^ft the column blank.
The Department has issued during the year a tractate en-
titled The Shorter Catechism: Shall it be Taught in
Our Sabbath-schools? and will forward the same to any
Pastor, Superintendent or teacher in our Sabbath-schools
making application.
This is the eleventh year in which the prize of an Oxford
Bible has been offered for the memorizing of the Shorter
Catechism, and the total number of Bibles awarded has been
16,683.
MEMORIZING OF SCRIPTURE.
Deeply convinced of the unspeakably good results flowing
from a thorough acquaintance with Holy Scripture, and in
order to encourage the practice among our youth of com-
mitting passages of Scripture to memory, the Department
has prepared a tractate entitled Plan of Memorizing the
Scriptures for Sabbath-schools, and also a smaller
Manual entitled Scholars' Handbook for Memorizing
Selected Passages of Scripture. Certificates have also
been prepared as awards to those scholars who comply with
the conditions specified in the Handbook and Plan. The
course extends over four years, and certificates are given in
three grades for each year's separate course, and also for the
full course of four years.
22 SIXTIETH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE BOARD OF [May,
MISSIONARY WORK OF THE SABBATH-SCHOOL
AND MISSIONARY DEPARTMENT.
SUMMARY OF WORK.
The missionary work of this Department has been vigor-
ously prosecuted during the past year in 29 States and Ter-
ritories, comprising 23 Synods and 63 Presbyteries.
Of the Sabbath-school Missionaries in commission on
April I, 1897, one has been removed by death, six have left
the service, and nine have been added to the roll, making the
number of missionaries in commission on April ist of this
year 'j6.
The Department places on record its high estimate of the
Christian character and missionary zeal of the late Rev. G. G.
Matheson, its missionary in the Presbytery of Red River,.
Minnesota, who died October 6, 1897.
Mr. Matheson had been in the employ of this Board four
years and six months, during which period he organized or
reorganized eighty mission schools with a membership at
starting of 2,864. Fc>r ^ P^i"t of this period he held a joint
commission from this Board and the Board of Home Mis-
sions. He was greatly beloved by his brethren of the
Presbytery, and by all who knew him.
Of the 76 Sabbath-school Missionaries now in commission
13 are Synodical and 63 Presbyterial missionaries. The
former labor and have the oversight of the work within
Synodical bounds; the latter labor only within the limits of
Presbyteries. , No missionary is commissioned without the
request or express concurrence of the Synod or Presbytery
within whose bounds he is appointed to labor.
A statistical table, giving a numerical summary of Sabbath-
school Missionary work performed by our missionaries dur-
ing the past year, will be found on page 38 of this Report.
ORGANIZATION OF SABBATH-SCHOOLS.
During the past year our missionaries organized 1,028
Sabbath-schools, with a membership at starting of 4,896
1898.] PUBLICATION AND SABBATH-SCHOOL WORK. 23
teachers and 46,518 scholars. This is an advance of 90 over
the number of schools organized last year.
THE UPBUILDING OF MISSION SCHOOLS.
This subdivision of our work is followed up by our mis-
sionaries with great assiduity. Whenever practicable a
mission school is placed under the care of the nearest Presby-
terian church. When there is no church near enough to
assume this responsibility, the Sabbath-school missionary
gives to the individual school as much of his personal atten-
tion as possible, corresponding with its superintendent and
visiting it as often as his other duties will allow. The De-
partment strongly impresses upon all its missionaries the
importance of securing permanency in results, and to that
end of carefully supervising their work. The "upbuilding"
of the schools means, however, a great deal more than keep-
ing them alive. It means raising them to a higher plane of
efficiency and spirituality, leading on to such visible results
as the institution of prayer-meetings and preaching services,
the organization of Home Departments, and Young Peo-
ple's Societies, and in due time their development into
churches. Thus built up, these schools become centers of
Christian activity, from which spiritual and temporal bless-
ings flow forth in every direction.
REORGANIZATION OF LAPSED SCHOOLS.
Naturally following this careful oversight comes the work
of reorganization. This is distinct from the work of simply
resuscitating a school which has been only a short time sus-
pended. Many schools are suspended during the winter
and reopened in the spring. Reorganization, however, as
understood in this Department, means that a previous or-
ganization has been entirely broken up, without any imme-
diate prospects of resuming. In such cases it is sometimes
more difficult to induce the people to start the work anew
than it was to begin it in the first instance. And yet expe-
3
24 SIXTIETH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE BOARD OF [May,
rience proves that repeated reorganizations are often fol-
lowed by results of a permanent and highly satisfactory
nature.
The number of schools reorganized during the past year
was 312.
DISTRIBUTION OF LITERATURE.
Under this head are comprised (i) grants of Lesson Helps
and Periodicals made to our mission schools on the requisi-
tion of our missionaries; (2) the gratuitous distribution of
Periodicals and Tracts by our missionaries in their house-to-
house visitations; (3) the gift or sale by our missionaries of
Bibles, Testaments, and volumes of Christian literature; (4)
grants of Bibles, Testaments, Volumes, Tracts, Periodicals,
and Lesson Helps made by the Department to Sabbath-
schools, churches, and individuals outside of our missionary
work.
During the past year our missionaries distributed 4,174
Bibles and Testaments, 10,946 volumes of literature, and
2,354,038 pages of tracts and periodicals. The Committee
made grants outside of the missionary work of 5,318 volumes
and 3,991,094 pages of tracts and periodicals. The value of
this literature, at wholesale prices, was $4,958.22, including
the deficiency on the German Lesson Leaf, which is a grant to
German schools. The cost of Bibles awarded for reciting the
Shorter Catechism was $1,840.25. The cost of the pro-
grammes and supplies for Children's Day was $4,582.98.
The total cost of all the aforesaid grants was $11,381.45.
Every day in the year the Board gave away other than
Bibles 45 volumes and 17,387 pages of tracts and periodicals.
VISITATION OF FAMILIES AND INDIVIDUALS.
This subdivision of Sabbath-school Missionary work,
though standing No. 5 in our list of objects, is often the first
of the methods employed in planting Sabbath-schools. A

-0
thorough house-to-house canvass of a community by one of
our missionaries is the usual prehminary of a pubHc meeting
at which the question of organizing a Sabbath-school is dis-
cussed and decided. There are instances, however, in which
the canvass is done independently of this particular aim, in
the course of travel, or with the view of holding evangelistic
services.
The number of house-to-house visitations made by our
missionaries was 81,239.
In connection with these visits our missionaries are priv-
ileged at times, especially in the winter, to be the almoners of
generous donors who forward to them through this Depart-
ment boxes or barrels of clothing for distribution among the
needy, and especially to needy children. Every autumn the
Department makes an appeal by circular, and also through the
religious press, for contributions of this character, furnishing
its correspondents with the names and addresses of Sabbath-
school missionaries to whom these articles may be sent, and
who can be relied upon to distribute them with discretion
and impartiality. In this way many a child is enabled to at-
tend Sabbath-school during the winter who would otherwise
have to remain at home for want of necessary clothing. The
value of the clothing thus distributed last year, upon a very
reasonable estimate, was about $2,500.
OTHER FORMS OF WORK.
In this subdivision are included various forms of labor
incidental to the organization of mission schools and not
referred to under the foregoing heads. Such are the holding
of evangelistic or revival services, and of Bible or Sabbath-
school Institutes; organizing Home Departments, Young
People's Societies, and churches; establishing prayer-meet-
ings and regular preaching services; and encouraging and
aiding chapel and church building. While this work has
not been tabulated during the past year, it has formed a large
and important part of the general missionary work, and has
26 SIXTIETH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE BOARD OF [May,
been followed by results which prove its importance and
value.
THE ANNUAL CENSUS.
At the close of every fiscal year the Department takes a
census of the schools organized during the year preceding.
From the census taken in March, 1898, of the schools organ-
ized between April, 1896, and April, 1897, it appears that
the number organized in that year was 938, and that at the
time of the census 709 of these schools were reported as
living — 437 being permanent throughout the year and 272
were summer schools only; 211 had lapsed; and 18 had not
been heard from. From the schools of that year 56 churches
had been organized.

REPORTS FROM THE FIELD.
SYNODS OF ATLANTIC AND CATAWBA.
Rev. G. T. Dillard, D. D., Synodical Missionary.
Since last July a Sabbath-school missionary has been at work in the
State of Georgia. Hence a long-felt want has been supplied, and our
missionary force has been increased by one man.
The year has witnessed a very large number of Teachers' Institutes
and Presbyterian Sabbath-school Conventions, and one Synodical Con-
vention. These bodies are not in every instance the result of the efforts
of the missionaries, for many of them are the creation of Presbyteries
and Synods. Yet the missionaries attend such assemblies and help to
1898.] PUBLICATION AND SABBATH-SCHOOL WORK. 2/
direct their work, and in that way they become useful auxiliaries to Sab-
bath-school Missions.
In no way have the missionaries relaxed their endeavors in seeking to
save the young people, and they have been able to report 150 conversions
among them.
During the year six of our Sabbath-schools have become churches,
with a membership of 127.
Our missionary in North Carolina writes that twice the number of
schools could have been organized but for the fact that he could not
get houses for the purpose.
The number of schools organized or reorganized in these Synods during
the year was 137, which exceeds the number in any one year in this field.
These figures carry their own comment, but how can I refrain from say-
ing that in the light of these facts the work of the Sabbath-school mis-
sionary is here to stay, and that the people more than ever appreciate its
value.
SYNOD OF CALIFORNIA.
We have two Presbyterian missionaries laboring in this Synod, Mr.
H. C. McBurney in the Presbytery of Los Angeles, and the Rev. M. S.
Riddle, recently appointed in Sacramento Presbytery.
Mr. McBurney writes: "I think there is more active interest and en-
couragement all along the line than ever before. In a young, growing city
like Los Angeles there is always work for the Sabbath-school missionary,
and if only enough workers could be found we could occupy much more
territory. In Cervitas district the school is well sustained. I visited the
Rincorn and Chino districts, and was frequently encouraged by words of
grateful acknowledgment from those who have received spiritual bless-
ings from our mission schools. During last summer and fall I spent
much time in Ventura and Santa Barbara counties, reviewing former
work and establishing new schools wherever practicable. The people are
used to hunting and fishing on Sunday, and even trading. In Guadalupe,
one of the hardest places I ever entered, where one can count almost as
many saloons as houses, one of our schools has been maintained inter-
mittently for five years, and has been well attended during the past
winter. Number of mission schools organized and reorganized in this

SYNODS OF COLORADO AND ILLINOIS.
Rev. C. K. Powell, Synodical Missionary.
Colorado. — In no Synod of all in our Assembly is there more cause
for joy and gratitude than in this great one of over 200,000 square miles.
During the year two missionaries were added to the force, and we now
have three men giving all their time, with hope that one will soon be
laboring in Wyoming.
The increase in number of schools organized, families visited, and in
28 SIXTIETH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE BOARD OF [May,
all other field statistics is so marked and great that we invite your at-
tention to this in the summary.
A. W. Griffith, Denver Presbytery; James Russell, Pueblo Presbytery;
and C. W. Higgins, Gunnison Presbytery; have each wrought well in
the fields assigned to them. The difficulties are exceptional, the physical
privations of the most trying kind, and the indifiference to be overcome
because of preoccupation in worldly pursuits a most marked feature in
every phase of Christian work.
We find personal work and family visitation of exceptional value, and
all our men are adepts in these practical lines
No method of spreading the good news has ever proven its adaptation
more fully than has this one on the plains, mountains, and mesas of the
Rocky Mountain States.
For the coming year the plans have been carefully and prayerfully
made, and an advance assured along the extension, in evangelistic and
educational lines.
Illinois. — We have everything for which to be grateful and praise
God. During the past year we have been able to make greater progress
than ever before. This has been evident not alone in the number of
schools organized, but fruit gathered in new-born souls, additions to the
church, and missions and churches organized.
Rev. M. A. Stone, Centralia, in Cairo and Alton Presbyteries, has
been wonderfully blessed in evangelistic work. Many otherwise un-
sought and practically untouched river-bottom communities have been
swept by the Holy Spirit's presence, individual lives and families trans-
formed and by contrast transfigured. For the coming year we have
planned carefully in detail in Cairo Presbytery a thorough campaign of
evangelization for this field, with special reference to aiding a number of
weak country churches.
Mr. G. V. Albertson, in Peoria Presbytery, with a much smaller and
more accessible territory, has been incessantly at work. There is here
more possibility of assistance from established pastors, and this has uni-
formly been accorded with most beneficial results. We instance one
point near Peoria, organized last June. Surhmer Institutes were held
here by our own workers, a series of meetings in September, and now
twenty are enrolled as a mission of Bethel Church, Peoria; have a weekly
piayer-meeting, a neighborhood cottage prayer service, a growing Sab-
bath-school, and with the prospect of an increase in the size of the little
coal mining settlement it will ultimate in a vigorous church.
Both missionaries have musical ability, and with their "baby organs"
conduct services of attractiveness as well as spiritual power.
The Synodical missionary has given much of his time to this work,
and is personally in touch with most of the points visited. He has used
his stereopticon and Bible views to good advantage in out-of-the-way
places, and by all means every efifort has been used to gather souls to the
Word and the Saviour.
1898.] PUBLICATION AND SABBATH-SCHOOL WORK. 29
We are vigorously pushing the Twentieth Century Movement, Decision
Days, and better Teaching Work.
One of the most marked features of the work in Illinois is the thorough
committee organization, and the interest manifested by Presbyteries in
the work in their bounds.
SYNOD OF IOWA.
Rev. S. R. Ferguson, Synodical Missionary.
This has been another very prosperous year in our work in this Synod.
Our six missionaries, including your Synodical Sabbath-school mission-
ary, have organized 63 new schools and reorganized twelve, having an
aggregate of 2,383 scholars, who are taught the Word of God by 295
teachers. Five Young People's Societies have been formed and over 100
family altars erected; also several neighborhood prayer-meetings estab-
lished.
Visits have been made to 5,607 homes, and over 147,000 pages of tracts
and religious periodicals, besides 1,047 volumes of good books and 484
Bibles, have been distributed. A missionary, writing about the work in
one neighborhood, said, 'T sold 38 Oxford Teachers' Bibles and 47
Testaments, and 11 family altars were erected."
Five churches have grown out of the work this year, three of them
being Presbyterian. Where one of our men organized a school less than
a year ago in a very godless village they have now a Presbyterian
Church of 93 members, a Young People's Society of 55 active members,
a weekly prayer-meeting, and sometimes they hold as many as four cot-
tage prayer-meetings each week in addition to the above services. They
now worship in a handsome church home, beautifully furnished, which
cost over $1,600, and was recently dedicated free of debt, and without
any aid from the Board of Church Erection.
In the evangelistic services held by the missionaries there have been
nearly 600 professed conversions, and over 400 of them have united with
the Presbyterian Church. For these gracious results we praise God, and
say in the language of the Psalmist, "Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us,
but unto thy name give glorj'."
SYNODS OF KANSAS AND INDIAN TERRITORY.
The last year has seen many changes in these Synods. The bountiful
harvest and the good prices for farm products have greatly improved the
condition of the people. Immigrants have taken the place of emigrants.
In Kansas three churches have been organized, which have grown out
of schools organized by our missionaries. One of these churches has
arrangements made to secure a house of worship.
The Indian Territory proper is in a transition state. Everj'thing is
unsettled. The whites far exceed the Indians in number, and yet the
white man has no right there. In the rural districts the whites have very
few privileges except those furnished by the Church. Not less than
30,000 white children of school age are growing up in utter ignorance.
30 SIXTIETH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE BOARD OF [May,
not having even the advantages of a secular education. Soon everything
will be changed. The Church ought to be on the ground to seize the
opportunity. The Sabbath-school missionary can do effective pioneer
work. There ought to be at least three more men in this Territory.
Oklahoma is a most promising field. This year will in all probability see
not less than two hundred miles of new railroad completed and in operation.
This means many new towns and an increase of population. Our mis-
sionaries are doing effective work, following the lines of these new roads
and seeking out new settlers as they arrive in the Territory. The number
of schools organized by our missionaries during the year was 2)7\ reorgan-
ized, 6, with a total of 1,460 scholars and 159 teachers. In Kansas the
schools organized number 48; reorganized, 12, with a total of 2,173
scholars and 254 teachers.
SYNOD OF MICHIGAN.
Rev. J. V. N. Hartness, Synodical Missionary.
Presbyterian Sabbath-school missionary work in Michigan has shown
itself more than ever this year to be the power of God unto salvation.
In the organization of new schools, in the fostering of feeble ones, in
the work of evangelization and the building of churches, and in contrib-
uting to their organization the good work has gone steadily on.
The schools and workers everywhere are taking up the Twentieth Cen-
tury Movement with enthusiasm. One writes: "We are now pushing "The
Twentieth Century Movement' in our community. A committee divided
the city into eight districts, with an average population of 800 in each
district, and the canvassers, two in each committee, are using the cards
of invitation issued by the Board.
"Even if we should not, as we hope to do, add very largely to our Sab-
bath-school attendance, we shall at least show the community that the
Presbyterian Church is an aggressive church, and is reaching out after
the non-church going population."
Especially active have been our missionaries in extending the organiza-
tion of "The Home Department" and "Young People's Societies."
Our force of five men has added 70 new schools and 26 reorganized
schools to the Sabbath-school map.
SYNOD OF MINNESOTA.
Mr. R. F. Sulzer, Synodical Missionary.
This year, like those preceding it, has been a busy year for our mis-
sionaries, and while, possibly, not quite so many schools have been or-
ganized as in some of the years before, much time has been given to
fostering and caring for the older schools and the precious sheaves
garnered in the evangelistic services. The stimulus given to teachers and
workers by the Institutes conducted; the number of churches developed
from so many of the schools; the occupying of new ground in schools
■organized in many dreary spiritual wastes; these are glorious victories
1898.] PUBLICATION AND SABBATH-SCHOOL WORK. 3I
gained, and are more than enough to cause us to "thank God and take
courage," and so we do. It will be seen that the Presbyterian Sabbath-
school Work in the Synod of Minnesota, if it cannot stretch itself beyond
the borders of the State, is becoming solidified, and like the recruiting
of a great army, is tilling up the ranks and occupying important posts
all along the line.
When we think of the many Home Mission fields assisted in the direc-
tion of self-support by the development of the more than one hundred
churches since our Board began its work in this Synod, the training and
indoctrinating of them in the truths of God's word and the principles of
Presbyterianism, and the development of gifts and offerings to the Lord,
we are impelled to inquire, not, "Does it pay?'' but, "How could we aflford
to do without this efficient arm of service?" The adaptability of the
work to any community is well illustrated by the following incident:
A town of about 500 people, mostly Germans, with no American church,
was visited by our missionaries; a dance hall over a saloon was rented
(no other could be had), chairs and an organ hired, and meetings held. A
Sabbath-school was organized, meetings were continued, and a church
was developed with an enrollment of twenty-seven members, not one of
whom had been brought up in the Presbyterian Church, or had ever been a
member of it. All these united on profession of faith under the doctrines
and form of government of the Presbyterian Church.
What, with our continued efTorts thus put forth, may we not realize in
the twentieth century, toward which our eyes are turned with longing
expectations? Let us press on, ever remembering that "This is the vic-
tory that overcometh the world, even your faith."
SYNOD OF MISSOURL
This Synod comprises the States of Missouri and Arkansas. In the
Presbytery of St. Louis Mr. W. H. Herrick continues his labors in the
suburbs of the city with gratifying results. Mr. S. A. Meredith, from
Palmyra Presbytery, reports 47 mission schools and 21 church schools
under his care, and of the former writes: "Quite a number of these schools
are new and have been waiting for a church organization, but owing to
the stringency of the times and the condition of the Home Board, Presby-
tery has been holding off, hoping for better times and a more favorable
outlook for Home Mission Work. With seasonable weather and financial
conditions I look for an advance movement this summer. Rev. E. L.
Renick reports from Ozark Presbytery no fewer than 64 schools under
his care, and Rev. W. F. Grundy, from Arkansas, 60 schools. The num-
ber of organizations and reorganizations during the past year throughout
the Synod was 83. with an aggregate membership of 3,956.
SYNOD OF MONTANA.
Rev. E. M. Ellis, Synodical Missionary.
The great need in Montana, aside from the Holy Spirit, is that of
more home missionaries to follow up the work of the Sabbath-school
missionaries, developing the schools into churches.
32 SIXTIETH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE BOARD OF [May^
Our hearts were recently touched by the earnest, almost pitiful, calls-
for a minister in the Bear Paw Mountains, where several consecrated
Presbyterians from the North of Ireland have recently settled. On their
arrival they found saloons, gambling, and all of the other forms of evil,
but no church, no Sabbath-school, no prayer-meeting, and no Sabbath.
Having left great privileges at their former home, they thought they had
got about as far from the kingdom as was possible in this world. Two
Sabbath-schools, however, were soon organized, much to their relief and
joy; but they still want a church and a pastor.
The little school at Basin, after years of struggles and many disappoint-
ments, has at last succeeded in completing and dedicating a neat chapel,
free of all debt, amid great rejoicing.
Although nearly seven years of our Sabbath-school missionary life have
passed, the great areas of Montana have not yet been covered. Several
entirely new sections were explored last year, however, and a number of
schools were organized in them, over which many rejoiced, and were
very thankful to the Presbyterian Church for the pains it had taken to
look them up and to aid them so materially.
Forty-three schools were organized and 26 reorganized during the year,
with a total of 2,167 scholars and 200 teachers. Thirty-nine Home De-
partments were also organized, with a membership of 109 students and
39 teachers.
SYNOD OF NEBRASKA.
Rev. J. B. Currens, Synodical Missionary.
The year in Nebraska has been one of encouragement. The crops
have been fine, and our six missionaries have done a good work. We
have sufifered the loss of one of our most active and useful men, Mr. C.
W. Higgins, who was transferred in June to Gunnison Presbyter}-, Colo-
rado. Although we could not consistently object, owing to the existing
financial situation, to the Board's making a more equal distribution of the
men — Nebraska having seven while Colorado had only two — yet we feel
his loss greatly, for he occupied a wide and needy field, covering over
one hundred neighborhoods, in which he had organized Sabbath-schools,
many of which have already fallen into the hands of other denominations
or have lapsed, and the neighborhoods will now be without the gospel for
the lack of a man to cover his territory.
While we have in the western part of the State endeavored to plant as
many Sabbath-schools as possible, knowing that on the frontier the Sab-
bath-school is in most places the only means of reaching the people with
the gospel, it has been the effort in the eastern part of the State, so far
as practicable, to plant our Sabbath-schools within reach of our town and
village churches, in order (i) that we may better use our own people as
workers; (2) that we may awaken in the local churches a deeper interest
in the surrounding farming population; and (3) that we may better harvest
the results into our own denomination.
With this thought in view, two years ago I visited a pastor who was
1898.] PUBLICATION AND SABBATH-SCHOOL WORK. 33
greatly discouraged. He had called upon every family in his town who
did not belong to the flock of a neighboring church. His audiences and
the town were small, and he saw little prospect for growth. I had no-
ticed on Sabbath morning that but one horse and buggy was hitched in
front of his church. I suggested to him that his responsibility was
larger than the corporate limits of his town; that there was room enough
in the country, and that the people there needed him badly, for nobody
was caring for them.
We visited twenty-two families, only two of which went to town to
church with any degree of regularity. We organized one school, which
soon grew to sixty members, and three others around his town which
ran during the summer. He preached to these people on Sabbath after-
noons. The result was that on every Communion he received some
members from these Sabbath-schools, which greatly strengthened and
encouraged the village church; and the result of a revival meeting in one
of these schools during the winter was that thirty or more persons were
converted, and another good Presbyterian Church was organized.
During the year our missionaries have organized 132 Sabbath-schools
and reorganized 35, with 679 teachers and 6,463 scholars; 194 conversions
have taken place in these mission schools, 42 Conventions have been at-
tended, 21 Home Classes have been started, 4 Young People's Societies
and 3 Presbyterian Churches have been organized, and 57 barrels of
clothing have been distributed to the poor.
SYNOD OF NORTH DAKOTA.
Rev. A. C. Manson, Synodical Missionary.
Sabbath-school work has made steady progress in North Dakota during
the past year. Many dear children have been brought into contact with
the Word of God, and not a few brought into the light of life as the result
of much effort and simple faith in God's almighty power.
The cold, stormy winter hindered our onward march for a time, closing
too many of our schools, although we are able to report a larger number
open than ever before; but the beautiful summer and delightful fall
m-onths gave us ample opportunity to work, and as the following statis-
tics show, our labors have not been in vain in the Lord:
Special meetings were held during the year by your missionary at fif-
teen different points with encouraging results. Twenty-three new schools
have been organized, with 126 teachers and 1,124 scholars. Seven schools
were reorganized.
Your missionary organized seven new churches, largely as the result
of Sabbath-school work, ordaining Elders and administering the Com-
munion; also baptizing over a hundred infants and adults in needy dis-
tricts, far away from organized churches. Seven hundred visits have been
made, 286 addresses delivered, 14,000 miles have been traveled by rail,
buggy and bicycle, 7,279 pages have been distributed, and many Bibles
given away.
Looking back we can see through all the year traces of God's guiding
34 SIXTIETH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE BOARD OF [May,
hand, and we give to him all the glory. Looking out into the future,
and over our vast State, we see a rich harvest ready for the reaper. We
look up for help, and to our Church for additional workers to help us
lay foundations in righteousness for the coming millions.
SYNOD OF OREGON.
Our work in this Synod presents features of striking interest, owing
to the rapid development of parts of the State and the geographical pe-
culiarities and thoroughly missionary aspects of the remaining portions.
The Sabbath-school missionary has to travel vast distances in search of
little settlements shut out in their mountain homes from the means of
grace. Here he sows the seed of gospel civilization, to the joy and re-
freshment of many of God's children and the spiritual benefit of many
others who are ignorant and careless. We have three missionaries labor-
ing in this State in three of its four Presbyteries — East Oregon, Portland
and Willamette. These missionaries have under their immediate care
about sixty-five mission schools which have survived the trials of in-
fancy and are standing witnesses for Christ. Last year the missionaries
organized 20 schools and reorganized 13, bringing into the membership
of these schools 1,217 scholars and 131 teachers.
SYNODS OF PENNSYLVANIA, KENTUCKY AND TENNESSEE.
(Comprising West Virginia and the Mountain Region.)
Rev. C. Humble, M. D., Synodical Missionary.
West Virginia. — Our Sabbath-school mission work in West Virginia
grows more thorough and permanent. We could, I think, double our
record if the work we make ready for Home Missions and Sustentation
were promptly taken off our hands.
However, as we have the hearty sympathy of the Synod's Committee
on Sustentation, we work on hopefully until the churches of one of our
greatest Synods awake to the fact that in West Virginia they have a field
of their own as fruitful as any Western State.
Mr. W. W. Hunter retires from our service to take charge of two mis-
sions with chapels which he established while with us. Rev. R. H. Run-
dall has taken charge of the self-sustaining work at Smithfield, which Mr.
Hunter had prepared for him, and "Mr. A. O. Loosley takes Mr. Hunter's
place on our force.
Mr. R. H. Rogers says: "In looking back over my now seven years
in this field I can thank God for being used by him in the building up
of his kingdom and the enlargement of our Church. Four churches
have been organized and seven buildings erected (four churches and
three chapels) ; 219 have united with the Presbyterian Church in meetings,
of which 53 have been held by me during the last year."
By the favor of God two Bible teachers were, January, 1898, added to
the Home Missionary force, making five in all. One chapel has been
built and two Teachers' Homes are being erected.
1898.] PUBLICATION AND SABBATH-SCHOOL WORK. 35
Here we have evergreen Presbyterian Sabbath-schools under most un-
favorable physical conditions. But at every point souls are converted,
homes are purified, Christians are kept growing, workers arc trained, and
the young people are given noble aspirations.
Synod of Kentucky. — Our Kentucky work also has in it much of
good cheer.
Mrs. H. C. Rainey, nee Miss Carrie F. Searles, one month after her
marriage, eager to return to that rough mountain village where she
would fain give her life for the people, was called to her heavenly home.
Her finished work remains to her honor.
Our far-away work in Knott County will show to better advantage
when the church long desired by the people is organized.
In Owsley County we report 134 conversions and 112 additions to the
church. In addition to preaching monthly to two churches, our mission-
ary, Mr. W. W. Baxter, in eight months organized 19 schools and kept
alive 13 out of the 14 started last year.
Bible teacher Miss M. J. Cort has two evergreen Presbyterian
schools in rough mountain districts where whisky and guns abound
and also a flourishing Loyal Temperance Legion. Fifty-five members
have been brought into the church, almost all from the world, severely
thinning the ranks of drunkards.
Synod of Tennessee.— Tennessee this year gives us two good Pres-
byterian churches — one at Burnsville, N. C, and the other at Clover
Bottom, Tenn.
At the latter place Rev. D. N. Good is pushing to completion a church
building. The organization and building here are the crowning and
closing work of Missionary Good, who now leaves our service, having
in his eight years in Tennessee organized or reorganized no schools,
with 4,064 scholars and 430 teachers.
Missionary Enright's work has been laborious and faithful, and he re-
ceived the praise of his Presbytery.
Two Bible teachers have been located at Vardy, Hancock County,
Tenn., and have been most cordially received. Already more than
twenty-five persons have professed conversion, and the growth of the
young converts who delight to feed on the Word is surprising.
SYNOD OF SOUTH DAKOTA.
Rev. E. H. Grant, Synodical Missionary.
I review the work of the past year with great pleasure. God has
wonderfully blessed our efforts, and set his seal of approval upon the
work of Presbyterian Sabbath-school missions in the Synod of South
Dakota; he has enabled us to come in very close touch with the people.
Never have we so thoroughly enjoyed their confidence and co-operation.
Our Sabbath-school missionary force has proven a most gratifying
means of bringing the Presbyterian Church to the favorable notice of
the otherwise unreached multitudes among whom we labor.
36 SIXTIETH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE BOARD OF [May,
Most blessed results have followed our efforts in evangelistic meetings.
Eight such meetings have been held, continuing from one to three weeks,
and resulting in scores of professed conversions.
As in former years, Sabbath-school Institutes have been a special
feature of the work. With the help of the nearest resident minister and
the Synodical Missionary six such institutes have been conducted. Rep-
resentatives of schools far and near have been gathered for interchange
of views and to discuss new methods of work. These institutes have
caused many schools to take on new life, helped discouraged superin-
tendents and teachers, and infused new zeal into the work.
Children's Day has, perhaps, never been more generally nor profitably
observed than this year. It was a glad day in all our mission schools.
One of these small schools contributed $17 to Sabbath-school mission
work.
As the direct result of this pioneer work nine preaching stations have
been established, three Christian Endeavor Societies organized and one
new church added to the roll of Synod.
The record also shows 24 schools organized, 14 reorganized, and the
gospel message carried into 2,333 homes.
SYNOD OF UTAH.
Rev. J. H. Barton, Synodical Missionary.
This Synod includes all of Utah, two-thirds of Idaho, and one-third of
Wyoming. It is a very needy and important field. I began work
August I, 1897. This report, therefore, covers nearly eight months. My
labors so far have been confined to Idaho and Wyoming. Over a large
area in these States the settlements are widely scattered. There are
scores of mining camps in the mountains and farming communities in
small valleys. Many of them are without religious influences of any
kind. Many of the children and young people have never seen a Sab-
bath-school and rarely heard a sermon.
It is important from the standpoint of patriotism, as well as of religion,
that these people be brought under the power of the gospel.
Wherever I have gone I have been received very cordially. The gospel
has been listened to with evident interest. Many of the people are anx-
ious to have Sabbath-school and preaching.
During the eight months covered by this report I have traveled 3,581
miles, made 366 family visits, delivered 156 addresses, distributed 10,565
pages of literature, and given away 36 Bibles and Testaments.
I have organized nine schools, all but one of which are alive and doing
well. I have visited and strengthened twenty-one schools. In connec-
tion with my work six persons have professed conversion and a con-
siderable number of Christians in isolated communities have had their
spiritual life revived.
The expense, aside from salary, of doing this work has been $134.25;
collections from the field have amounted to $80.50, so that the actual ex-
pense to the Board has been $53.75.
1898.] PUBLICATION AND SABBATH-SCHOOL WORK. yj
SYNOD OF WASHINGTON.
Our missionaries in this Synod, which includes a portion of Idaho,
labor in the Presbyteries of Olympia, Puget Sound, Spokane and Walla
Walla. The Rev. M. G. Mann writes from Idaho: "The country is fast
settling up, and little towns and hamlets are everywhere springing up.
Two railroads are heading this way — a branch of the Northern Pacific
and one of the Oregon Railway and Navigation Company. The people
need churches and the children Sunday-schools, and Presbyterian
churches could be organized at many points if we had missionaries. The
town of Elk City and vicinity supports a population of 1,000, comprising
only twenty families, the rest being unmarried men. I was the first min-
ister who ever preached there, and the Sabbath-school organized by me
is the only one within fifty miles. A grand work could be done among
these people by a resident missionary. Other calls as loud as the one
from Elk Citj' await my visits. The number of Sabbath-schools organ-
ized and reorganized throughout this Synod during last year was 50, with
an aggregate membership of 1,505."
SYNOD OF WISCONSIN.
Rev. Joseph Brown, Synodical Missionary.
The past year has been one of blessed success. Ninety-one Sabbath-
schools have been organized, with 4,041 teachers and scholars. Ten
Presbyterian churches have also been organized as a direct result of the
Sabbath-school work.
Many interesting incidents illustrative of the good that has been done
have come under my attention during the year. A few months ago I
visited the mission field of Rib Hill, in Marathon County. This Sab-
bath-school is superintended by a prominent business man in Wausau,
who drives twelve miles each Sabbath to take his part in this good work.
In order to test the progress made by the children in their knowledge of
the Bible, I offered a dime to the first scholar who could repeat correctly
the Ten Commandments. Immediately a little girl rose to her feet and
repeated the desired portion of Scripture without a single error. I then
promised a nickel to one of the primary class who could repeat the Lord's
Prayer. Almost a score of the little ones did this perfectly. At the
close of the school I shook hands with five young men, who told me they
were on the eve of starting for their winter's work in the woods, "But,"
they said, "we are better equipped for work than ever before; we carry
for the first time the Word of God with us." Every Wednesday night
these people have a prayer-meeting, where the average attendance is
usually about sixty. Such is the blessed condition of this settlement,
where a few years ago the gospel message was unknown. This is simply
one example of the many districts in this State that hitherto have lain in
darkness, but now are flooded with the glorious light of the gospel of
Christ.

42 SIXTIETH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE BOARD OF [May,
LESSON HELPS.
Hie Westminster Teacher is issued monthly. It is prepared
specifically for the teachers and officers of Sabbath-schools,
and is used also by many Bible-class scholars. It contains
full expositions of the International Bible Lessons. This
magazine is published in octavo form, each number contain-
ing from 40 to 48 pages, with cover. Price, single copy by
mail, per annum, 60 cents; school subscriptions to one ad-
dress, 50 cents per copy.
Tlie Westminster Question Book, though included in the
list of ''Bound Volumes,'' belongs also among Lesson Helps.
With the increasing excellence of the Quarterlies, however,
the demand for this annual volume has been diminishing for
some time, and it has been decided after the present year to
discontinue it.
The Westminster Senior Quarterly is adapted to older
scholars, and is used also in advanced and Bible classes. It
is issued quarterly, and each number contains full lesson
work for the three months, with Order of Service, Map,
Bible Dictionary, Hymns, and Music, and other valuable
matter. Each number contains forty-two pages. Its in-
creasing circulation attests its growing popularity. Though
so large and full the price is so small as to bring the Quar-
terly within the reach of all. School subscriptions to one
address, 12 cents a year; single copies, 20 cents.
TJie Westminster Intermediate Quarterly is designed for
scholars of intermediate grade. It contains full lesson text,
with notes, questions, and practical teachings. In it are
found also Map, Order of Service, Hymns with Music, and
Bil^le Dictionary, the same as in the Senior. It is the same
size as the Senior Quarterly, containing 42 pages, and is fur-
nished at the same rate — school subscriptions to one address^
12 cents a year; single copies, 20 cents.
1898.] PUBLICATION AND SABBATH-SCHOOL WORK. 43
The Westminster Junior Quarterly is prepared for the little
people in primary classes. In its new and attractive form it
has greatly grown in favor. School subscriptions to one
address, 12 cents a year; single copies, 20 cents.
The Westminster Lesson Leaf is prepared with special refer-
ence to intermediate and younger scholars. It is issued
monthly, but is so arranged that, if desired, the leaves can be
separated and distributed to scholars weekly. Each leaf
contains one lesson complete with Scripture, Golden Text,
Catechism, Lesson Story, Questions, and Practical Teach-
ings. School subscriptions to one address, 5 cents a year.
The Westminster Junior Lessons is a neat leaf adapted to
the young people. Illustrated. It is issued weekly in the
same form and at the same price as the Westminster Lesson
Leaf.
The Westminster Lesson Card has reached a great circula-
tion. It contains a brightly colored lithographic picture,
illustrating the lesson of the day, with Lesson Title, Golden
Text, Lesson Hymn, Lesson Story, and Questions. It is
adapted in grade to the younger children and to primary
classes. The price for school subscriptions to one address
is 12 cents a year, or 3 cents a quarter. Single sets, 20 cents
a year.
The German Lesson Leaf was intended specifically for the
Sabbath-schools of our German congregations, and has been
greatly appreciated by them. It is published monthly. The
price is the same as the Westminster Lesson Leaf.
As arrangements have been made by the German Presby-
terian Publishing Company, of Dubuque, Iowa, for prepar-
ing and issuing a full series of Lesson Helps in German, it
has been decided by our Board to transfer to this Company
the German Lesson Leaf from and after July i of this year.
We believe that this arrangement will prove entirely satis-
factory to our German Sabbath-schools.
44 SIXTIETH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE BOARD OF [May,
ILLUSTRATED PAPERS.
Forward is designed especially for young people in Inter-
mediate and Senior grades, and is adapted for reading in the
home and by young people in general. The name of the
paper is suggestive of its general character, and fitly em-
bodies its aim. It was announced in our Report of last year
that, beginning with July i, 1897, the paper would be
doubled in size, without any addition to the subscription
price. The paper in its enlarged form has been well received
throughout the country, and the subscription list has greatly
increased. Every effort has been made to produce a paper
of the highest class, filled every week with the best things for
young people. It is our intention to make Forzi^ard better
and better, in the belief that such a paper will receive the
hearty support of our people, and that it will find its way into
the hands of every young person in the Church. It is not a
mere Sabbath-school paper, but is adapted for home reading.
Many older men and women have testified to their own per-
sonal enjoyment of it. We have already many thousand
single subscriptions. The surprising cheapness of Forzvard
brings it within the reach of all. In clubs it costs less than
one cent a number. School subscriptions. 50 cents a year;
single subscriptions, 75 cents.
Tlie SobbatJi-school Visitor is the oldest of the periodicals
of the Board. It is adapted to a younger class of readers
than Forzvard. It is an illustrated four-page paper, each
number containing attractive and interesting matter adapted
to children. It is published weekly. It may, however, be
taken once or twice a month, if preferred. Single subscrip-
tions, per year, 50 cents; fortnightly, 30 cents; monthly, 20
cents. School subscriptions to one address, per year, weekly,
30 cents; fortnightly, 16 cents; monthly, 8 cents.
TJie Morning Star is issued to meet the demand in many
schools for a paper at small cost. It is of the same quality,
grade, and style as TJie Visitor; but it is only half the size.
1898.] PUBLICATION AND SABBATH-SCHOOL WORK. 45
It is issued every week, but it may be taken once or twice a
month, as desired. Single subscriptions, per year, weekly,
25 cents; fortnightly, 15 cents; monthly, 10 cents. School
subscriptions, to one address, per year, weekly, 15 cents;
fortnightly, 8 cents; monthly, 4 cents.
Sunbeam is a four-page weekly paper for very little people,
finely illustrated. It has been greatly enlarged and im-
proved. No subscriptions are taken for less than a month.
Single subscriptions, 30 cents. School subscriptions, to one
address, 20 cents a year for each scholar.

52 SIXTIETH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE BOARD OF [MaV.
BUSINHSS DEPARTMENT.
This Department conducts all the business operations of
the Board. Of these the most important are, first, the man-
ufacture of books, tracts, and periodicals; and, secondly, the
placing of the publications on the market.
PUBLICATIONS.
According to the statement on page 58, there have been
published during the year 1,900,875 copies of books and
tracts, and 43,139,816 copies of periodicals, which, together
with 9,000 copies of the Annual Report,* make an aggregate
of 45,049,691 publications for the year.
PLACING ON THE MARKET.
This work continues .to be performed, as was reported last
year, by advertising in the leading papers of our own and
afifiliated denominations throughout the country, and through
the agency of the main store in Philadelphia, the deposi-
tories in Chicago and St. Louis, and seventeen branch houses,
twelve of which are in our own land, four in British America,
and one in England. These agencies, at the present time
are as follows:
DEPOSITORIES AND BRANCH HOUSES.
Albany, N. Y., The Leonard Publishing Co., The De Graaf Building,
corner South Pearl and Beaver Streets.
Baltimore, Md., S. W. Harman, 320 North Charles Street.
Boston, Mass., H. D. Noyes & Co.. 13^ Bromfield Street.

March 31, 1897.

Winnipeg, Manitoba, Russell & Co., 504 I\Iain Street.
London, England, 14 Paternoster Square.
These houses, with the exception of the one in London,
furnish all our publications at the Board's catalogue prices.
Our periodicals are still further brought to the attention of
churches and Sabbath-schools by circulars addressed to pas-
tors and Sabbath-school superintendents. Our missionaries
also bring all classes of our publications to the notice of those
who dwell in missionary districts.
SALES.
The sales for the year in books and tracts were $121,-
755.92. This amount, as it includes credit sales, does not
agree with the Treasurer's account, which account exhibits
only cash received. The Treasurer's account includes cash
received for the sales of the current year, and also cash re-
ceived for the credit sales of preceding years.
The amount received during the year for the sale of
periodicals was $207,258.04.
The aggregate of the preceding sales includes not only the
ordinary sales of the main house, and of the depositories and
branch houses, but all sales made to the Sabbath-school and
Missionary Department for grants, and all sales by Sabbath-
school missionaries.*
* The above statement relates only to amounts received and credited
by the Business Department. In addition to the amount received by this
Department from Sales by Missionaries, the Sabbath-school and Mis-
sionary Department received $32.89 from those sales (see p. 60). The
54 SIXTIETH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE BOARD OF [May,
THE HYMNAL.
The Hymnal continues to meet with gratifying success.
It has already been adopted by about six hundred Presby-
terian churches throughout the country. The sales have
reached nearly one hundred thousand copies, and orders for
the book are coming in with great frequency.
FREE LIBRARIES.
The General Assembly of 1891 made the following recom-
mendation to this Board:
That such of the stock of books, bound or unbound, the sales of which
have been superseded by more recent issues, be made up into "cheap
libraries," as far as possible, and, so far as proper, also donated to Sunday-
schools and home mission stations, or any appropriate benevolent work.
In accordance with this recommendation, the Board, dur-
ing the year ending March 31, 1898, distributed Free Libra-
ries to needy ministers, churches and Sabbath-schools, and
also to other deserving objects, in thirty States and Terri-
tories, as follows:

Business Department sells all its publications to the Sabbath-school and
Missionary Department at "the highest rate of discount allowed on the
same classes of publications to the most favored branch houses in this
country;" the missionaries are required to sell, for cash only, at catalogue
prices; the excess inures to the benefit of the latter Department.

The value of these books, at their former catalogue prices,
was $6,689.42. They are no longer valued on the inventory.
Gratifying acknowledgments have been received from
many of the recipients of these libraries, and it is confidently
believed that much good has been accomplished through
their instrumentality.
During the six years that have elapsed since the com-
mencement of this distribution, a grand total of 1,056 libra-
ries, containing 89,220 volumes, and valued at (catalogue
price) $47,190.80, have been donated by the Board.
It is contemplated to continue these donations throughout
the coming year. In view, however, of the fact that the old
stock is now greatly reduced, libraries of not more than 75
volumes can be made up for Sabbath-schools. Particular
attention is called to the following notice, the substance of
which has appeared in the last six Annual Reports. Failure
on the part of applicants to observe the requirements men-
tioned therein will almost certainly result in delay in the
making of grants :
NOTICE TO APPLICANTS FOR FREE LIBRARIES.
Application for such libraries should be made directly to the Secretary.

56 SIXTIETH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE BOARD OF [May,
a church or Sabbath-school it should ordinarily be accompanied by a
certificate from the Chairman of the Sabbath-school and Missionary Com-
mittee of the Presbytery with which the church of school is connected,
setting forth its condition and needs. In cases where, on account of dis-
tance, it is difificult to obtain a certificate, one should be given by the
Pastor or Session of the church, or of some neighboring church. Appli-
cations from the Chaplains of United States ships or military posts will
always receive favorable consideration.
NET PROFITS.
The net profits of the year were $31,047.04. Of this sum
two-thirds, or $20,698.03, has been placed to the credit of
the Sabbath-school and Missionary Fund, in accordance with
the direction of the General Assembly. The remaining third,
or $10,349.01, has been added to the capital.
CAPITAL.
The capital at the beginning of the year, according to the
balance sheet of the last Report, was $341,623.02. This
amount included the real estate formerly occupied by the
Board, Nos. 1334-1336 Chestnut Street, which stood upon
the books at the original cost price, $151,626.42, and also
included the value of the perpetual policies of insurance
thereon, amounting to $4,720.00 — a total of $156,346.42.
When this real estate was sold, these amounts were charged
of¥ from the books of the Business Department, thereby
reducing the amount that previously had appeared as the
capital of the Business Department to the sum of $185,275.60.
To this sum is now added one-third of the net profits of the
year, thus making the active capital now employed in the
business, as reported in the balance sheet, $195,624.61.
The proceeds of the sale of the real estate were $448,000.00;

THE CHURCH AT HOME AND ABROAD.
At the request of the Committee appointed by the General
Assembly, the Board continues to be the publisher of "The
Church at Home and Abroad." The relations of the Board
to this magazine are different, however, from those which it
sustains to the other periodicals which it publishes.
The editor of the magazine is selected by the Assembly's
Committee, and he works under its general direction, as does
also the Board itself in this particular. The Board is an
agent, rather than the principal, in its publication, and as-
sumes no pecuniary responsibility in reference thereto.
No charge has been made by the Board for anything ex-
cept actual expenditures directly on account of the magazine,
and every effort has been adopted, through the machinery
of the Board, to further the success of the enterprise.
The amount of receipts* on account of the magazine for
the year was $14,463.54. The number of copies published
was 180,000.
A balance of $3,048.67 now stands against this magazine
in the books of the Treasurer.
* This includes the amounts received from the subscribers and from the
several Boards.

Twenty-Eighth Annual Report
BOARD OF THE CHURCH ERECTION FUND.
To the General Assembly of the
Presbyterian Church in the United States of America :
With gratitude for the tokens of Divine blessing upon its
work, the Board of the Church Erection Fund respectfully
presents to the General Assembly its twenty-eighth annual
report.*
The year, which commenced with a fair promise of relief
from the depressing influences that marked the preceding one,
has not entirely fulfilled the expectations that were cherished
in its opening months.
Various causes, which are too well known to call for
special mention, have served to continue the business and
financial depression under which the country has now suffered
for several years. There have been indeed alleviations and at
times marked progress but confidence in the permanence of
business prosperity has not been as yet thoroughly restored.
As always, the condition of things in the business and political
worlds has been reflected in the support of the benevolent
operations of the Church.
It is gratifying under these circumstances to be able to
report that the portion of the Board's income derived from the
contributions of the churches has not fallen off, but on the
contrary shows a slight increase over that of last year. The
aggregate received from this source is still noticeably less than
in the prosperous days of former years but the tide has at least

was incorporated in 1855; the two Boards were united in 1870, from which year the present

ceased to ebb and there is hope that it may continue to rise
until ag^ain high water mark is reached.
It should be said that during these years of depression the
loss has not been because fewer congregations have given —
on the contrary, the number has steadily increased from year
to year ; but the average contribiition has just as steadily
decreased.
But a result of the financial depression even more signifi-
cant, and for many reasons disquieting is seen in the decreas-
ing number of churches that have applied for aid from the
General Fund. It would of course be a matter for congratula-
tion did this result from the fact that of the same number
organized and building edifices, a larger proportion were able
to act independently of aid from the Church at large ; but this
is obviously not the case. The simple fact is that when busi-
ness is depressed or crippled; when large numbers of people are
thrown out of employment, new enterprises in religious no less
than in business circles must be postponed until brighter days
dawn. Fewer new churches are organized and fewer build-
ings erected. This depression will doubtless continue until
the general outlook in the financial and business world is more
favorable and the country ceases to be agitated with wars and
rumors of wars.
APPLICATIONS.
Although nearly as many enquiries and informal requests
as in past years reached the Board, the number of formal
applications was only 196 or 20 less than last year. Of these,
138 were to the General Fund, 127 being for grants, 9 for loans
without interest and 2 for both grants and loans and the
aggregate amount asked for was $69,983. To the Manse Fund
there were 39 applications, two of which were for grants, the
total amount applied for being $16,380. To the Loan Fund
there were 19 applications asking loans to the amount of
$50,350. To these, however, must be added the applications to
the General Fund that, although reaching the Board during
the previous year, were postponed on account of lack of
funds. These numbered 25 and aggregated $13,475.
Thus the total demand was actually for $151,788 and from
221 churches, as against $147,292 from 216 churches last year.
ANNUAL REPORT. 5
THE INCOME OF THE BOARD.
Such being the facts in regard to the demand, it is a
matter for thanksgiving that the receipts of the Board have
begun as we have already said to show an advance, thus
enabling the Board not only to cover the arrears of the
previous year but to meet the demands of the present.
In speaking in detail of sources of income it should be
remembered that the Loan Fund and the Manse Fund are prac-
tically entirely dependent upon the return of the installments
due upon loans made by them respectively for church build-
ings or manses. Only as such returns come in regularly and
promptly can they be maintained in their proper efficiency.
Upon the other hand to the General Fund, which represents
what was originally the sole work of the Board, go all con-
tributions not otherwise designated and also all sums derived
from the return of grants, the sales of disused church edifices,
as well as so much of the interest of the permanent funds as is
not needed to keep the latter intact.
Of these the most important source ,is that of the con-
tributions of the churches, the very source that most quickly
reflects the conditions financially of the country and conse-
quently of the churches. This fact, it is to be feared, will be
emphasized if the conflict upon which the nation has entered
be long continued.
From all sources the total income of the Board for the
year was as follows :
Contributions from Churches $46,714.79
Individual contributions 1,730.09
Legacies . 5,248.80
Interest on invested funds 9,931.46
Sales of church buildings 4,176.79

ANNUAL REPORT
APPROPRIATIONS.
I. The General Fund. — This fund is, as is well understood,
that from which all grants are made for the building of church
edifices, and to which all contributions not otherwise desig-
nated are paid. It represents the original scope of the Church
Extension Board of the old school branch of the Church and
also that of the Church Erection Board of the new school
branch after its plan was modified in 1866. Its aid is properly-
extended to the younger and feebler churches, especially upon
the fields distinctly home missionary. When appropriations
are made to the stronger of these churches, they are, in accord-
ance with the repeated suggestions of the General Assembly,
frequently made in the form of loans without interest, to be re-
turned in annual contributions of a certain specified amount.
From this fund there have been during the year 127 grants
aggregating $58,609, and 20 loans, without interest, aggregating
$10,400. As in three instances both grant and loan were made,
the number of churches represented is 144.
The grants exceed those of the previous year by 33, and in
amount by $14,339, but the loans are fewer by 10, and less in
amount by $5,653. Taking grants and loans together the
number is 147, as against 126 the previous year, and in amount
$69,009, as against $60,323, an advance of 17 per cent, in num-
ber and of nearly 15 per cent, in amount. The average amount
of the grants was $470.61, and of the loans $500.
In addition t8 churches received through this fund special
gifts to the amount of $1,607.88, making a total in this depart-
ment of 162 churches and $70,616.88.
These appropriations and gifts have reached 30 synods, 107
Presbyteries, and T^d States or Territories. Minnesota has re-
ceived the largest number, 12 ; California, 11 ; Pennsylvania,
Kansas, and Nebraska, 9 each ; Michigan, 8 ; and North
Carolina, Missouri, and Colorado, 7 each.
The Board is gratified that it is able to add that the year
closes in this department under much more favorable circum-
stances than a year ago. Then it was obliged to report that
action upon 25 applications, aggregating $13,475, had been
postponed from want of funds. This year, although commenc-
ing burdened with the arrears of the preceding, closes with a
small balance in the treasury.
2. The Loan Fund. — This Fund has now been in operation
for seven years, and the number of applications made for loans
ANNUAL REPORT. 7
in accordance with its provisions proves that it answers the
purpose for which it was designed. From it, loans may be
made to churches which need only temporary assistance, being
able themselves to complete their edifices if the expense can
be extended over the years represented in the terms of the
loan. Such loans are therefore properly made for the erection
of buildings more expensive than such as are usually aided
from the General Fund. As, however, the Fund is a Trust
Fund, it is obvious that it can be loaned only in such cases
as give satisfactory evidence that the money will be promptly
returned as promised. This requirement must necessarily in
some cases cause disappointment, but the Board feels that its
first duty is to act strictly in accordance with the provisions
made for it by the Assembly, by which only can it protect these
trust funds from depletion.
From this fund there have been made i6 loans, aggregating
$41,600, an advance upon the previous year of 6 in number and
of $7,850 in amount.
They were widely distributed, viz: in the East, Massachu-
setts two, Pennsylvania two, and Maryland one ; in the Central
States, Ohio, Wisconsin, and Michigan each, one ; in the West,
Missouri, Nebraska, and Colorado each, two, and Iowa and
Montana each, one.
3. The Manse Fund. — No department of the Board has
more abundantly vindicated its beneficent character than this
fund, inaugurated in 1886 by gifts from consecrated women
who appreciated how indispensable to the highest usefulness
of a pastor was an adequate home for his wife and children.
During the twelve years of its existence it has provided
such Christian homes, by securing the erection of 438 manses,
and distributing to this end $164,322, a sum many times ex-
ceeding the amount which, during the most of these years, the
fund represented.
The appropriations during the present year from this fund
were 35, amounting to $14,150. Omitting one grant of $100,
the average amount loaned to each church was $413.23. The
loans slightly exceeded those of last year, but the amount
granted was $610 less. There was one "special" gift of $55.
SUMMARY.
Looking at the work as a whole and uniting the results in
the three departments specified, the number of churches
O ANNUAL REPORT.
reached in one form or another was 213, and the full amount
appropriated 1126,421.88.
The accompanying map gives a bird's eye view of the wide
distribution of these appropriations, and the alphabetical and
synodical tables give their destination in detail.
The aggregate receipts in all departments were $137,349.73,
and the disbursements, including grants, loans and expenses,
were $129,040.13.
During the year there were also reported to the Board as
completed through its aid 177 churches and manses, represent-
ing an aggregate value of $423,827.
REVERSIONARY INTERESTS.
These last figures suggest the substantial increase that the
year's work entails in the reversionary interests and the insur-
ance security held by the Board.
As is well understood, the Board, by direction of the
Assembly, secures upon all property benefited by its grants or
loans, a mortgage to the amount of the appropriation, and also
an insurance policy to the same amount. In the case of loans
either from the Manse or Loan Funds, these mortgages are of
course discharged and the insurance policies cancelled when
the loan is returned in full by the church, but, as many of
them run for ten years, the attending reversionary interest is
still very large. In the case of actual grants the mortgage is
practically, in a majority of cases, a permanent lien upon the
property, which, although drawing no interest, and therefore
no burden upon the church, needs to be protected uninter-
ruptedly by the insurance policy.
It is manifest that as a consequence of this wise require-
ment the number of mortgages and the total reversionary in-
terest of the Board, as well as the amount of insurance it pro-
vides, is annually increasing.
This interest at the present time amounts to more than
$2,000,000, and the insurance held by the Board to not less than
$1,750,000.
Inasmuch as every year a certain percentage of these
mortgages become due and the money must be collected upon
the sale of the church property, and as all the policies of insur-
ance must be renewed upon expiry, and the premiums thereon
collected from the churches, it is manifest that a heavy respon-
sibility, involving much care and time, is connected with this

branch of the Board's work. In fact at the present time the
details of this branch of the work, together with the adminis-
tration of the two permanent loan funds constitute so large a
proportion of the work of the Board that were all contributions
from the churches to cease, the duties still remaining in the
care of the constantly increasing vested interests of the Board
would necessitate an expense of at least half of the present
cost of administration, an expense however abundantly justi-
fied b}^ the value to the Church of these large investments.
ARCHITECTURAL DESIGNS.
Another interesting department in the work of the Board
is the securing from good architects appropriate designs for
church buildings. That this provision is appreciated and serves
an excellent purpose is evident from the fact that every week
several requests for designs and suggestions as to buildings
reach the office. Indeed such applications have come not only
from all of our own States, but from Scotland, England, the
continent of Europe, and South America.
In this matter the Board has lately adopted a new plan
which it believes will make the aid thus given still more prac-
tical. The editions of its book of designs being exhausted, in-
stead of issuing a new and somewhat expensive pamphlet, it
has had the designs that seem most available printed upon
separate sheets.
By this expedient, instead of sending the same book, repre-
senting buildings varying in cost from $800 to $20,000 to every
applicant, a selection can be sent of such plans as approximate
in size and expense to the proposed building. By this method
much waste and considerable expense is obviated. The Board
therefore would request that when application is made for such
plans, it be specified what is expected to be the size, cost, seat-
ing capacity and material of the proposed building.
It may be added that while the Board has sketches of
buildings of quite expensive character, and which may serve a
good purpose in giving suggestions, it yet strongly advises
that in all cases where a building is to cost more than $5,000 a
competent architect be selected and the work entrusted to
his hands.
In this way a building is secured that meets the special
needs of the congregation in question, and in the end, in the
10 ANNUAL REPORT.
case of such buildings, there will be usually a saving in other
respects that will counterbalance the fees of the architect.
For this reason the Board cannot in the case of more ex-
pensive buildings, although it send the designs, supply the
working drawings and specifications, but will refer the church
to the architect who made the sketch.
TITLE TO CHURCH PROPERTY.
It seems proper in this connection to call attention to
another matter to which too little consideration at times is
given. The necessity of securing mortgages makes it impera-
tive for the Board in every instance to be certified that the
title by which the church holds its property is a good one. In
its enquiry to this end the Board finds many cases where it ap-
pears that the church, owing to restrictive and reversionary
clauses in the deed, does not hold a title in " fee-simple " and
therefore cannot execute a mortgage that will be of legal value.
Frequently this discovery is made at so late an hour as to cause
much delay and disappointment in obtaining the money that
the Board had appropriated.
The Board would therefore venture to suggest that when
forms for the charters of churches or for deeds by which
property is to be held are drawn or recommended by the
Synods or Presbyteries, care should be taken that they are not
so worded as to preclude the freedom of the congregation to
execute, if need be, the mortgages required by the General
Assembly in connection with grants and loans from this Board.
It would also urge the propriety of churches when making
application to the Board for aid, sending with such application
a copy of the deed by which title is held.
REMOVAL OF OFFICE.
The Board is happy to be able to report that by an ar-
rangement with the Board of Foreign Missions it has removed
its office to rooms under the control of the latter Board, secur-
ing thus adequate accommodations with a reduction in expense
of rent of twenty per cent.
RETROSPECT.
In compliance with the request of the General Assembly's
Entertainment Committee that this Board should contribute to
ANNUAL REPORT. 11
the "exhibit" to be made at the Assembly of the scope and
progress of the Presbyterian Church, the Board has prepared a
large chart which displays the progress of its work since its
tirst inception in 1844. This, together with a large map pre-
pared in 1893 for the proposed exhibit at Chicago in connection
with the World's Fair, but for well known reasons never dis-
played, will give a picture of what has been done under the
direction of the Assembly in aid of Church Erection during the
last fifty-five years. If possible to prepare it in time a small
reproduction of the chart will be bound up with the report.
An examination of this chart will show that at one time or
another the work has been carried into every state and terri-
tory of the Union ; that there have been 7,675 appropriations
to 6,305 churches ; that the aggregate of the appropriations
has been $3,814,139 and of the actual payments $3,492,320.60 that
the value of the property thus secured is not less than
$14,000,000 and that while there have been fluctuations in the
advance, yet upon the whole there has been a steady progress
onward. It is interesting to notice a reflection of the history
of our country in the constant lengthening of the lines of the
chart from left to right as the years advance and also in the
gap in the years from 186 1 to 1867 in the columns representing
the Southern States of the Union from which we were then
divided.
THE FUTURE.
Such having been the history of the work and such the
manifest blessing of God upon its progress, can we doubt that
it is the Divine will that the church shall still carry it forward
as an accepted agency in the upbuilding of the kingdom of its
Lord and Master.
So long as the population of this land continues to grow, so
long there will be need of new churches, and of new edifices in
which they may find homes, and so long as the condition of
society and limitations of supply and demand remain as now,
so long will there be need also that infant churches be aided
by their older and stronger sisters in establishing themselves in
safety and in permanence.
The amount needed to ensure in this way the continuance
and well being of our infant missionary churches is not large
as compared with the wealth and liberality of the whole church,
but small as it is comparatively, it cannot be secured unless
12 ANNUAL REPORT.
there be a general recognition of the sacred tie that binds all
of our congregations together and a glad hearkening to the
Divine voice that commands the strong to bear the burdens of
the weak.
If in response to such obligation, each congregation would
remember to do its part in replenishing the central treasury from
which the needed supplies are again distributed, there would
be enough to meet every legitimate demand.
There has been, as we are all too well aware, during the
last five years a period of depression in the missionary work of
the Church, but there are encouraging signs, to which reference
has been already made, that the tide has turned and that better
days await the Church in the coming years.
It is the prayer of this Board that these anticipations may
not be disappointed and that in the onward movement it may
be enabled by the sympathy, the counsel, and the generous
gifts of the congregations to bear its full share to the honor
and glory of the Divine Master.
ELECTION OF MEMBERS OF THE BOARD.
It only remains to add that the term of office of the fol-
lowing members of the Board expires at this time :
Ministers. Elders.
Rev. Nathaniel W. Conkling, D.D Frederick G. Burnham.
Rev. John Hall, D.D. Daniel J. Holden,
Rev. William Holliday, D.D. E. Francis Hyde.
John Sinclair.
It will devolve upon this Assembly to fill these vacancies
and also a vacancy in the class whose term ends in 1899,
occasioned by the resignation of the Rev. Henry T. McEwen,
D.D., who has removed to a distance from New York.
All of which is respectfully submitted.
ERSKINE N. WHITE, DAVID MAGIE,
Corresponding Secretary. President.
Report of the Standing Committee upon
Church Erection.
• Your Committee has had several meetings, and has care-
fully considered the work of the Board of Church Erection.
The honored secretary met with the Committee, and rendered
valuable assistance and service. As a Committee, we are im-
pressed with the business character of the Board. While the
members are second to no one in sentiment and philanthropy,
the work of the Board of Church Erection is, and must be ac-
cording to sound business principles. An examination of the
accounts of the Board shows careful, systematic and painstaking
work. But more, the Board of Church Erection never con-
tracts a debt. No, the debts of this Board remain where they
rightly belong. That is to say, if the churches do not remem-
ber the Board when making up their missionary offerings,
applications must remain unmet, and the responsibility rests
upon the Church at large. At the beginning of the ecclesiastical
year under review, the Board inherited such applications carry-
ing some $13,000, but we are happy to say that the Church has
paid its debts, and presents to the Board, for this new year, an
inheritance of good health and prosperity.
The number of formal applications reaching the Board dur-
ing the year was 196, or twenty less than last year. Of these,
138 were to the General Fund, 137 being for grants, nine for
loans without interest, and two for both grants and loans, and
the aggregate amount asked for was $69,983. To the Manse
Fund there were thirty -nine applications, two of which were
for grants, the total amount applied for being $16,380. To the
Loan Fund there were nineteen applications asking loans to
the amount of $50,350. To these, however, must be added the
applications to the General Fund that, although reaching the
Board during the previous year, were postponed on account of
lack of funds. These numbered twenty-five, and aggregated
$13,475. Thus the total demand was actually for $151,788, and
from 221 churches, as against $147,292 from 216 churches last
year.
Such being the facts in regard to the demand, it is a matter
for thanksgiving that the receipts of the Board have begun to
1-4 ANNUAL REPORT.
show an advance, thus enabling the Board not only to cover
the arrears of the previous year, but to meet the demands of
the present.
In speaking in detail of sources of income it should be re-
membered that the Loan Fund and the Manse Fund are prac-
tically entirely dependent upon the return of the installments
due upon loans made by them respectively for church building
or manses. Only as such returns come in regularly and
promptly can they be maintained in their proper efficiency.
Upon the other hand to the General Fund, which represents
what was originally the sole work of the Board, go all con-
tributions not otherwise designated, and also all sums derived
from the return of grants, the sale of disused church edifices,
as well as so much of the interest of the permanent funds as is
not needed to keep the latter intact.
Of these the most important source is that of the contri-
butions of the churches, the very source that most quickly re-
flects the condition financially of the country, and consequently
of the churches. This fact, it is to be feared, will be empha-
sized if the conflict upon which the nation has entered be long
continued.
The work of the Board is divided into three departments.
From the General Fund all grants are made for the building of
church edifices. From this fund there have been during the
year J 27 grants, aggregating $58,609, and twenty loans without
interest, aggregating $10,400. As in three instances both grant
and loan were made, the number of churches represented is 144.
The grants exceed those of the previous year by thirty-
three, and in amount by $14,339, but the loans are fewer by ten,
and less in amount by $5,653. Taking grants and loans to-
gether the number is 147 as against 126 the previous year, and
in amount $69,009, as against $60,323, an advance of seventeen
per cent, in number, and of nearly fifteen per cent, in amount.
The average amount of the grants was $470.61, and of the
loans $500.
In addition, eighteen churches received through this fund
special gifts to the amount of $1,607.88, making a total in this
department of 162 churches and $70,616.88.
It will be noticed that of the appropriations made during
the year, twenty are referred to as loans without interest-
This is in accordance with the wise suggestion of the Assembly
of 1893, which recommended that whenever possible a church
receiving an appropriation should agree in the terms of its

mortgage to return an annual contribution of a specific sum to
the treasury of the Board, which contribution should also be
accounted as a payment upon the mortgage, the mortgage to
be satisfied when the full amount was thus paid.
While your Committee is gratified to find that the number
of churches contributing to this Board is continually increas-
ing, it regrets to be obliged to add that even now but littla
more than half of the churches upon our roll are in this re-
spect mindful of their obligations, and among those failing to
sustain the work are not a few who in their early days received
aid from the Board, and pledged themselves in return therefor,
to make such annual contribution.
The Loan Fund has now been in operation for seven years,
and the number of applications made for loans, in accordance
with its provisions, proves that it answers the purpose for
which it was designed As the fund is a trust, it can be loaned
only in such cases as give satisfactory evidence that the money
will be properly returned, as promised.
The Manse Fund. — No department of the Board has more
abundantly vindicated its beneficent character than this fund.
Inaugurated in 1886 by gifts from consecrated women who ap-
preciated how indispensible to the highest usefulness of a
pastor was an adequate home for his wife and children, during
the twelve years of its existence it has provided such Christian
homes, by securing the erection of 438 manses, and distributing
to this end $164,322, a sum many times exceeding the amount
which, during the most of these years, the fund represented.
The appropriations during the present year from this fund
were thirty-five, amounting to $14,150. Omitting one grant of
$100, the average amount loaned to each church was $413,23.
The loans slightly exceeded those of last year, but the amount
granted was $610 less. There was one '' special " gift of $55.
The Board, by direction of the General Assembly, secures
upon all property benefited by its grants or loans, a mortgage
to the amount of the appropriation, and also an insurance policy
to the same amount. In the case of actual grants the mortgage
is practically a permanent lien upon the property, and no interest
or payments of any kind, save the promised annual collection,
are expected, but this wise requirement often saves the local
church from a ruinous debt, and safe-guards the property.
This interest of the Board, at the present time, in the churches
of the Assembly is more than $2,000,000, and the insurance not
less than $1,750,000. Hence, it is plain that the Board would

have a large amount of labor to perform even if no new work
was attempted.
The Presbytery of East Florida presented an overture ask-
ing that the mortgage against the First Presbyterian Church
of Jacksonville, Fla., be cancelled of record. During the civil
war the church edifice was occupied as a hospital. The church
became divided, and those who remained were obliged to mort-
gage the property. Many methods of many General As-
semblies have been adopted to pay this mortgage. For some
years the Stated Clerk, Wm. H. Roberts, D. D., was working
at the problem, and at last succeeded in raising the debt for
the church. But more than $2,000 of that amount was given
on condition that the mortgage should be placed in the keep-
ing of the Board of Church Erection. The answer proposed
by your Committee will be found among the recommendations.
In view of the fact that in our growing work of evangeliz-
ation, it is at times expedient that a congregation be gathered,
and a Sunday School organized in advance of the regular organ-
ization of a church, it would seem proper that in exceptional
cases aid should be given in the erection of a chapel while there
is, as yet, no organized church corporation, and your Com-
mittee think it would be well for the Assembly to approve of
such grants, provided the presbytery has a proper control both
of the work and the property.
An examination of the exhibit prepared by the Board at the
request of the Assembly's committee, will give a vivid impres-
sion of the work accomplished during the half century of the
Board's existence.
In conclusion your Committee recommends the following
action :
Resolved, 1 . That this Assembly heartily approves of the
work, management, and administration of the Board of Church
Erection.
2. That in view of the pressing necessities of our mission
work, the Assembly urges each church to make an annual of-
fering for the important work of this Board.
3. That the Assembly would especially remind such
churches as have in the past received aid from the Board, that
they are pledged to make each year, according to their ability,

MERCER STREET CHURCH, NEW YORK.
1S34-1898.
The cut upon the title page of this report represents the old
Mercer Street Church building in the City of New York, which for
many years, first as a Presbyterian church and later as the "Church
of the Strangers," has been one of the best known and most notable
edifices in that city. As it is now, after standing sixty-four years,
being removed, a word in regard to it will be of interest.
During the time of its Presbyterian occupancy its prominence
was such that the late Dr. Deems, the well-known pastor of the
Church of the Strangers, at a reception given him in 1880 ventured
to refer to it as having been at the time of its erection ''''the cathedral
of Presbyter ianism in America."
It was built in 1834 as the home of the newly organized church
of which the elder Dr. Thomas II. Skinner was the pastor. It was
situated upon Mercer Street, between Waverly Place and Eighth
Street, one block west of Broadway, a locality then far uptown. In
fact there was then no church of the denomination further north,
and the city itself at that time was practically bounded ujjon the
north by Fourteenth Street. Its congregation took immediately a
conspicious position and thenceforth numbered among its ofificers
and members many of the most active and liberal Presbyterians
of the city.
Under Dr. Skinner and his distinguished successors. Dr. Joseph
C. Stiles, Dr. George L. Prentiss, Dr. Walter Clarke, and Dr.
Robert Russell Booth, it maintained its position as one of the most
prosperous and useful churches in the city until the reunion of
1870 when it was united with the neighboring church upon
University Place. Dr. Booth, who had been its pastor since 1861,
became the pastor of the united church and so continued until
temporary ill health caused his resignation in 1884.
Through the liberality of the late Commodore Cornelius Van-
derbilt the then historic building became the home of the Church
of the Strangers, whose unique and notable history under the
direction of the late Dr. Charles F. Deems is so well known. Dr.
Deems died in 1893, and the organization which still continues has
during the last year removed uptown.
The destruction of this old and beautiful edifice, so long a land
mark in the city and for sixty -three years the centre of the most far-
reaching and beneficent social, moral, and religious influences, is,
although inevitable, greatly regretted by all old residents of the city.

ACTION OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY,
At Winona I^akb, Ind., May 2ist, li
The Report of the Board of Ministerial Relief, and the
manuscript volume of its minutes for the year ending April
ist, 1898, were presented to the General Assembly at Win-
ona Lake, Ind., May, 1898. These were referred to the
Assembly's Standing Committee on Ministerial Relief, con-
sisting of the following Commissioners :
Ministers: — Henry C. McCook, D. D,, Theodore F.
Burnham, Frederick J. Sauber, Arthur E. Chase, Samuel
Callen, James H. Robinson, D. D., Dormer L. Hickok,
Ashbel G. Lane, Edward H. Curtis, D. D,, John L. Landis,
Hector E. McLean.
Elders: — Henry Parsons, Samuel Lyons, John P. Hooke,
William S. Pitts, James Fulton, David Moncrieff, John L.
Hunter, J. C. Hall, James Tait, S. M. McConnell.
The Standing Committee on Ministerial Relief begs
leave to present the following resolutions and recommen-
dations :
I St. The Assembly learns with pleasure that the Board
of Ministerial Relief has entered its convenient and beautiful
quarters in the Witherspoon Building, Philadelphia ; and
while congratulating this Board upon the change, acknowl-
edges its obligation to the Board of Publication and Sabbath-
School Work, and to the friends who have contributed the
office furnishings, thus enabling the Board of Ministerial
Relief to enter its new home without drawing upon its funds.
2d. The Assembly notes with great satisfaction the
increase in the number of contributing churches during the
past year, there having been 594 more than any previous
year ; also the increase in contributions which has enabled
the Board to close this fiscal year without debt, and at the
same time pay to its annuitants the amount of the 25 per
cent, reduction which it had been necessary to announce a
year ago. The collections have been greater during the past
year by $9,073.42 from churches and Sabbath -schools, and
by $1,820.50 from individuals, an aggregate increase of
$10,893.92 over last year. There have also been received
unrestricted legacies amounting to $27,893.74. The last
named source of income is an inconstant quantity, and
ii Anyiual Report of the Board of Relief
cannot be relied upon. The only certain source, outside
of the Permanent Fund, is the healthy and regular increase
in the gifts of the living Church to meet the increasing
demands of the work.
3d. The churches are reminded that the Permanent
Fund of over one and one-half million of dollars, large as it
seems, furnishes less than one-half the required income for
the aid of annuitants, viz., $69,123.00, leaving $109,847 to
be raised by the churches. While the income from invested
funds is subject to decrease, following the general tendency
of investments, the advancing yearly increase in the pay-
ments of the Board has been nearly $6,000 ($5,856). It is
therefore manifest that the possession of an endowment can-
not absolve the churches from the continued urgency for
increased liberality.
4th. The Assembly is constrained to call serious atten-
tion to the startling fact that during the decade between
1888 and 1897, the number of annuitants increased from
564 to 835, 67.7 per cent. The amount contributed by the
churches on the contrary decreased from $98,922 per year,
to $74,091, or about 25 per cent. It is plain that unless
this great disproportion between the two factors of demand
and supply shall be overcome by increasing gifts, either
the number of annuitants or the amount appropriated to
them must be diminished. Even the increase of the current
fiscal year does not break the force of this alarming state-
ment, for the number of annuitants has grown from 835 in
1897, to 875 in 1898, involving an expenditure nearly equal
to the increase in church contributions,
5th. In view of these facts the Assembly most earn-
estly and affectionately asks the Synods, Presbyteries, Ses-
sions, and especially the pastors of churches to consider the
facts printed in the annual report of the Board, and to give
a full presentation of them in the judicatories of the Church
and before the people. It is believed that if the congrega-
tions were informed of the exact condition of things, and of
the imperative need for increasingly larger collections, the
Board of Ministerial Relief would be able to care adequately
for the aged and honored ministers and missionaries, and
their dependent households. No cause could appeal more
tenderly to the hearts and consciences of the people. The
Assembly urges pastors to preach upon this subject, and to
enforce the claims of our Church's venerable and helpless
wards ; and it is believed that the facts will appeal potently
to the generosity of hearers.
Annual Report of the Board of Relief iii
6th. The Assembly also urges pastors to call attention
to the fact that the work of the Board of Ministerial Relief
is not confined exclusively to ministering men. Among the
annuitants the ministering women, missionaries both Home
and Foreign, and the widows of clergymen, considerably
outnumber the men. Here is a field wherein " Woman's
work for women " may have abundant exercise. While
money is the chief requirement, boxes of clothing and house-
hold supplies will go far to piece out the scanty income of
many families.
yth. The Assembly commends the course of the Board
in securing a thorough audit of its books, by expert profes-
sional accountants, and is gratified that the report of the
experts extending over two fiscal years, ending March 31,
1898, shows that the accounts of the Treasurer have been
carefully, correctly and creditably kept. This gives assur-
ance of the security of the permanent fund, and that the
Church's current contributions will be cared for with fidelity.
8th. The Assembly notes with regret that the sad
event foreshadowed by the sickness of the Emeritus Secre-
tary, Dr. Wm. C. Cattell, has befallen, and that this emi-
nent father of the Church, and faithful Secretary of the
Board of Ministerial Relief, and devoted friend of its helpless,
venerable dependents, has fallen on sleep. Attention is
called to the commemorative Resolutions adopted by the
Board, and printed in this year's report (page 13), and the
Assembly expresses cordial sympathy with the members
thereof, in the great loss sustained by it and by the Church,
in the removal from earth of this beloved servant of God and
helper of his fellowmen. To Dr. Cattell, the Board of Min-
isterial Relief is indebted, in large degree, for the present
healthful state of its finances, and the deep and tender
interest felt in its work. The movement to promote especial
interest among elders in the Board's work was one of his
happy thoughts, and went far to deepen sympathy throughout
the Church and a sense of responsibility towards its super-
annuated ministers and their families. Although the
Assembly of last year fully expressed its appreciation of
this man greatly beloved, this Assembly is prompted to
render this tribute to one who has done such worthy service
to the Church, and to its most dependent wards. " Inas-
much as ye have done it unto one of the least of these,
ye have done it unto me. ' '
gth. The Committee would call the Assembly's atten-
tion to the following By-laws, printed on page 10 of the
iv Annual Report of the Board of Relief
Report, which relate simply to the routine work of the
various Committees of the Board, and would respectfully
recommend approval of the same.
loth. The Committee having carefully examined the
Minutes of the Board, finds them correct and kept with
unusual care, and recommends their approval by the General
Assembly.
nth. It is recommended that the following Directors,
whose term expires at this meeting of the Assembly, be re-
elected, viz. : — Rev. Henry E. Niles, D. D., Rev. Marcus A.
Brownson, D. D., George Junkin, Esq., LIv.D., A. Chas.
Barclay, Esq.; also, that the following new members be
elected, viz. :— Francis Olcott Allen, Esq., of Philadelphia,
to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Mr. Robert
C. Ogden; and Robert H. Smith, Esq., of Baltimore, Md.,
to fill the place of Mr. Joseph M. Collingwood, resigned on
account of the condition of his health.
I hereby certify that the above is a correct copy of the
action of the General Assembly.

Gknkral AsSKMBIvY
OF
IVIAY, 1898.
The Presbyterian Board of Relief for Disabled
Ministers, and the Widows and Orphans of Deceased
Ministers, respectfully presents to The General Assem-
bly its Annual Report for the year from April ist, 1897, to
April ist, 1898 — being the Forty-ninth year since the or-
ganization of Relief Work by the General Assembly of 1849,
the Forty-third year since the First Annual Report was
made to the General Assembly in 1855 by the Trustees of the
Assembly, and the Twenty-second year of the work of the
organized Board. The Book of Minutes, containing the pro-
ceedings of the Board for the year 1897-98 is also herewith
presented.
NEW QUARTERS.
We are greatly delighted to report to the General As-
sembly, that in the month of December the Board moved
into the new rooms provided for it on the fifth floor of the
Witherspoon Building, 13 19 Walnut Street. Here we have
ample accommodations, furnished to the Board free of rent
by the Board of Publication and Sabbath School Work.
These rooms are bright and cheerful and supplied with all the
facilities for carrying on the work of the Board, and for
storing systematically its rapidly accumulating records, of
present value in the conduct of our work, and of prospective
historic value in the preparation of individual biographies.
These rooms have been neatly and comfortably furnished
by friends of the Board without drawing upon its treasury
for a single dollar.
ROLL.
We have upon our roll for the year ending March 31st,
1898, 875 names ; 342 ministers, 472 widows, 29 orphan
families, i widow of a medical missionary, 7 female mission-
aries and 24 guests in the Ministers' House at Perth
Amboy, N. J., 45 Annuitants died during the year. We
have 103 Honorably Retired Ministers on the roll, whose
average age is 78.2, and whose average service has been
45.9 years. The average amount paid all Annuitants was
$205.69.
4 Annual Report of the Board of Relief
I. -THE SITUATION ONE YEAR AGO.
Two years ago the Board reported an indebtedness of
$9,673, and last year a debt of $20,911, and we feared from
the way the roll was increasing and the collections from the
churches were decreasing, that, if the same conditions
prevailed for another year, we would be compelled to report
a deficiency on the payments of the year just closed of
$30,000, which, with the indebtedness of last year, would
make a total deficit of over $50,000. This calculation rested
upon the following facts and figures.
Receipts and Expenditures.
During twenty-one years the roll of Annuitants, and
the annual receipts from all sources and the annual
expenditures, have been as follows :

Annual Report of the Board of Relief 5
The average yearly increase in our payments
FOR TWENTY-ONE YEARS HAD BEEN $5,856.00, and the
church collections for nine years had been decreasing ! For
several years the Board kept warning the churches of these
conditions and declared that a serious cut in the grants to
our Annuitants would necessarily have to be made.
In 1S75 the interest of the churches in this sacred cause
seemed to slacken and every appropriation was reduced just
one-half ; 69 families applied for aid which could not be
received upon the roll, and at that time there were but 384
families receiving aid.
In 1876 one-fourth of all appropriations was withheld.
In 1885 the Board again found it necessary to withhold
one-fourth until in funds to pay appropriations in full.
The distress occasioned by these several reductions was
so unspeakably severe that the Board hesitated long about
making another such blood-letting cut ; but the condition of
things a year ago made it absolutely imperative to resort to
this intensely severe action again, hoping that the churches
might be aroused to a sense of their responsibility to this
sacred cause and furnish means before the end of the year to
pay all appropriations in full. In view of the indebted-
ness of the Board of $20,911, and in view of the continuance
of hard times the Board unanimously, but with profoundest
sorrow, took the following action :
" Whereas, The funds of the Board of Relief for the past year
were not sufi&cient to pay the current expenses of the Board, and as
the debt on April ist, 1897, was ^20,911.45,
Resolved, First, that on all appropriations recommended by the
Presbyteries and accepted by this Board, a reduction of twenty-five
per cent, shall be made, beginning with this fiscal year."
The Board came to this conclusion unanimously, but
at the same meeting passed the following resolution :
'■'^ Resolved, That the Board trusts that the above reduction of
twenty-five per cent, will only be a deferred payment, and that the
Church, when informed of the needs of the Board, will place suflBcient
funds in its treasury to pay in full the amounts recommended by the
Presbyteries."
Use of Unrestricted Legacies.
Prior to the last meeting of the General Assembly the
Board of Relief by the direction of former Assemblies had
placed all the legacies it received in the Permanent Fund,
and used only the interest thereof in the payment of the
current expenses ; but as all the other Boards of the Church
were permitted to use unrestricted legacies in payment of
6 Annual Report of the Board of Relief
current expenses, the Board of Relief last year asked for
the same privilege, and it was unanimously granted by the
Assembly.
II.— THE PRESENT CONDITION OF THE BOARD.
As the churches and individuals throughout the Church
began to realize the intense suffering inflicted by withholding
one-fourth of the appropriations made to our Annuitants,
they began to contribute more generously to this hallowed
cause. Whilst 3,198 churches gave no contribution to the
Board last year, it is gratifying to know that 4,126 churches
remembered the suffering ones and sent in their contributions.
This is 594 more churches than ever contributed to the
Board in any previous year. As the fiscal year was drawing
to a close the contributions came in more rapidly, and we
also received a considerable number of unrestricted legacies;
and when we closed our books for the fiscal year, ending
March 31, 1898, the showing was as follows :
Comparative Receipts for the Years '96-' 97 and '97-' 98.
1896-7 1897-8
Contributions from Churches and Sabbath Schools $ 74,091 20 $ 83,164 62
Contributions from Individuals 13,922 91 15,743 41
Interest from Permanent Fund 70,985 62 69,134 04
" Deposits in Bank 831 56 869 20
" " Anniversary Reunion Fund and Special Funds
held by the Synod of Ohio and other Trustees .... 1,024 79 331 52
Unrestricted Legacies 27,893 74
$160,856 07 $197,136 53
This showed a gain over the previous year in church
collections of $9,073.42 and also a gain in individual contribu-
tions of $1,820,50; and the receipts for the current fund,
from all sources, as shown in the Treasurer's account,
$197,136.53.
This amount of receipts enabled the Board with glad
hearts to pass the following resolution repealing the painful
Withholding Act :
" With sincere gratitude to the Giver of all good, the
Board would record the fact that by His favor it finds itself
at the close of the year, (by the use of unrestricted legacies,
as authorized by the General Assembly of 1897, and the
funds for current use received from other sources,) with
sufficient funds not only to meet the claims of its beneficiaries,
but also to pay to those of them whose allowances the Board
was obliged to reduce, the amount of the reduction.
It is therefore. Resolved, That relying with great confidence upon
the liberality of the Church in supplying the needs of the Board, and
believing the Head of the Church has placed anew his seal upon its
Annual Report of the Board of Relief 7
work, the Treasurer be directed at once to remit, as an act of justice,
to the persons from whose annual allowance a reduction of 25 per
cent, was made, the amount so deducted, and enter it in his accounts
as of March 31st, 1898."
We are exceedingly glad to report that the Board has
paid all appropriations in full for the year ending March 3 1 ,
1898, and that it closed its books absolutely free of all debt,
and had a small working balance of $6,526 with which to start
the New Year. This amount is what is left of the unre-
stricted legacies received during the year.
III.— THE OUTLOOK.
Whilst the Permanent Fund of the Board now amounts to
$1,532,449.62, it can readily be perceived that the interest on
that sum will not pay one-half of our annuities. The interest
on this Fund last year amounted to $69, 1 34, but the demands on
the Treasury amounted to $190,609.91, leaving $121,475.87,
to be raised from other sources. Whilst the Assembly has
given the Board the right to use unrestricted legacies to pay
our Annuitants, these legacies are a very uncertain quantity
and we cannot make calculations on having any definite
amount to use in any one year. Our individual contributions
are also a very uncertain quantity. They have varied in
the last thirteen years from $10,771, to $21,048 a year.
We are, therefore, largely shut up to the collections in our
churches as our main dependence.
As before stated the average yearly increase in our
payments for the last twenty-one years has been $5,856.
We must have, therefore, a constant increase in our church
collections, or we must proportionately decrease the yearly
appropriations to our Annuitants, and that is an extremely
undesirable and painful thing to do.
Good Work that Can be Done.
I. I^et our Synods at their Annual Meetings take up
this Sacred Cause with new interest.
Look at the contributions from the various Synods to
the Board, as shown in our Annual Report, and see, in
most instances, the large sums drawn out from the Board
in proportion to the amounts contributed, and it is self-
evident that the Synods in general should make much larger
contributions to the Board than they have been in the habit
of making.
Business closely crowds the hours of the various Synods
we all know full well, but we know just as well that want
and distress crowd the hours, the days, the months, the
whole year through, of the honored men who have given
8 Annual Report of the Board of Relief
all their energies to the upbuilding of our beloved Church, and
their rights and necessities demand most serious consideration,
2. The Presbyteries can aid wonderfully in stirring up
the churches to take collections for this hallowed cause by
observing the directions of the last General Assembly,
which require that every church session appoint a special com-
mittee on the Board of Relief, consisting of representatives
of every organization in each church: the Women's Societies,
the Young People's Associations, the Sabbath Schools, &c.
Let the Presbyteries take special charge of this matter and
see to it that a collection is taken for this cause every year
in every church.
The Presbytery can induce many more Sessions to have
collections taken in their churches for this holy work by
insisting that the directions of the last General Assembly
be carried out, and by calling upon all the Sessions to report
to Presbytery why they have not taken collections wherever
there has been a failure to do so, and by giving them to
understand that their reasons for neglect or failure to take a
collection will not be sustained unless the reasons are special,
providential, and satisfactory.
3. Presbyterial committees can do a work that is well
worth doing by correspondence with the churches in each
Presbytery, and using their influence to have every church
in every Presbytery take a collection every year. It may be
troublesome to the committee but the cause is Christ's. We
are all working for Him, and what we do for Him will have
its sweet reward.
4. Church Sessions are mainly responsible for the
large number of churches that fail every year to remember
this blessed beneficence.
The appointment of committees last year in individual
churches in many cases was attended with gratifying results.
One committeeman wrote to us that in addition to the regular
church collection, by personal solicitation he collected for the
Board $145, from individuals. Ladies' Societies sent boxes
of clothing to needy families last year valued at $3,649 ;
Young People's Societies and Sabbath-schools have taken
collections when the church itself failed to take a collection.
The Board was organized October 21, 1876. Let Ses-
sions ask their people to make the 21st of October in each
year Self-denial Day, and give the savings of that day to
this Board. This is not asking too much of our people when
the 875 families on the roll of the Board, in many instances,
are compelled to deny themselves 365 days in the year!
5. Let pastors cease to take it for granted that the
people generally are well posted on the work this Board is
Annual Report of the Board of Relief 9
trying to do, and fully inform the people each year of the
imperative necessity of increasingly larger collections in order
that our great Church may do what is honorable and mag-
nanimous to our aged and honored ministers and their needy
households. The old men who have expended all their work-
ing forces for the Church have earned a support from the
Church as long as they live, and it ought not to be given to
them sparingly and grudgingly.
6. Individuals all over the Church can be induced to
contribute generously to this Board if the matter is fairly pre-
sented to them. The sacred cause appeals to every sense
of compassion, and honor, and justice, and many of our
wealthy people are glad to contribute freely to it whenever
its wants are clearly and personally laid before their minds
and hearts by our faithful pastors.
THE ADHINISTRATION OF THE BOARD.
The members of the Board can truthfully say that
they administer the affairs of the Board faithfully, conscien-
tiously and fairly, and out of sincere love for the delight-
ful work.
As it is the custom of many business corporations, having
trust funds to handle, to employ experts periodically to audit
their books and accounts, the Board thought it was justified in
pursuing a similar course, and it secured the services of
Messrs. John Heins & Co., professional experts of high
standing, for this purpose, and it is very gratifying to the
Board that the report of these experts is just what the
members of the Board expected it would be, namely :
We hereby certify that we have audited the cash account and
bank account of your Treasurer, Rev. W. W. Heberton, for the two
fiscal years ended March 31, 1898, inclusive, and found the same to
have been carefully, correctly and very creditably kept.
John Heins & Co.
We are sure the report of these experts will be most
gratifying to our whole Church.
THE MINISTERS HOUSE.
The Ministers' House at Perth Amboy, N. J., is beauti-
fully located in the centre of eleven acres of wooded land and
has accommodations for twice as many guests as we have
ever had there at any one time.
A minister and his wife may be admitted there in lieu of
a money appropriation ; the widow of a minister ; a female
missionary from the Home or Foreign field ; a medical
missionary, or any one entitled to receive aid from the Board
lo Annual Report of the Board of Relief
who is without means of support, and who can be accommo-
dated there with the faciHties at our command.
It is not a hospital and we do not have the means to
make it such, but it is a delightful home for aged people.
To gain admission to the House it is necessary to apply
to the Presbyterial Committee on the Board of Relief, and
have that Committee recommend the applicant to Presbytery
as a suitable person to be granted a residence in the House.
This recommendation must be approved by Presbytery
and forwarded to the Board. Then, if the Board approves
the application, the person is granted a free residence there
from 5^ear to year upon the annual renewal of the Presbytery
and the approval of the Board.
BY-LAWS.
We have added to Art. III. of the By-Iyaws two new
sections : 3 and 4, which we respectfully ask the General
Assembly to approve.
Sec III. (i). The Committee on Applications shall consist of
five members. It shall be the duty of this Committee to examine all
new applications for aid, and to report whether they have been made
in conformity with the regulations of the Board, and whether the
amount of aid recommended by Presbyteries may be granted, having
proper regard for the ability of the Board and the need of the appli-
cant comparatively with other cases of need aided by the Board.
( 2. ) The Committee shall also watch over renewal of applications
for aid, and report if there be cases where the amount of aid originally
granted and still applied for should be reduced, or discontinued.
Sec. IV. The Ministers' House Committee shall consist of five
members, and shall have general supervision of the House and
grounds and the household administration ; the}' shall determine and
report to the Board upon the applications for admission to the House
and on removals therefrom ; they shall confer and advise with the
matron and the guests of the House on matters touching the order
and comfort of the family ; they shall authorize necessary expendi-
tures for the maintenance, repairs, alterations and improvement of
the House and grounds, provided the cost thereof in any given case
does not exceed three hundred dollars ; they shall procure and keep
in order all needed furniture, and buy food and all other supplies of
proper quality and quantity ; and shall audit the accounts of expendi-
tures by subordinate officers, not directly authorized by the Committee.
RULES OF THE BOARD.
The various deliverances of the Assembly, and regula-
tions adopted by the Board under the privileges granted to
it by the Assembly, have recently been codified, and are
embraced in the following Rules :
APPROPRIATIONS.
I. Only members of Presbyteries in connection with the General
Assembly of our Church, and the families of those who were at their
Annual Repo?-t of the Board of Relief 1 1
death in such connection, and lay missionaries and their families
are entitled to aid ; and no adults shall be entitled to aid, who are not
members of, and who do not acknowledge the jurisdiction, nor sub-
mit to the discipline of the Presbyterian Church in the United States
of America, unless such extraordinary circumstances should exist, as
to make it, in the judgment of the Board, wise and right to admit
their claim.
2. The General Assembly of 1890 directed that in ordinary cases
no appropriations can be made to ministers, simply because they are
poor. In order to receive aid they must be disabled by disease, or the
infirmities of age, so as to be unable to sustain themselves by some
suitable employment. (Minutes of General Assembly 1880, p. 21,
and 1889, p. 32.)
3. The General Assembly of 1880 directed "That, in case of a
minister who voluntarily, and in health, leaves the work of the
ministry for some secular employment, and follows that for a series of
years, and then, by failure of business, has come to want, such a course
should ordinarily be regarded as a voluntary relinquishment of all
claim upon the funds of the Board." (Minutes of General Assembly
1880, p. 21.)
4. All appropriations are made for one year, unless otherwise
ordered ; and the renewals for appropriations must be made from year
to year, except in cases of ministers honorably retired according to
the provisions of Rule 7.
5. All the appropriations are paid in advance, provided the
funds of the Board will allow this to be done. If the appropriation is
not more than one hundred and fifty dollars it is paid in advance in
one payment. When an appropriation is more than one hundred
and fifty dollars per annum, it is paid in two equal installments,
semi-annually in advance.
6. While the responsibility of recommending applicants rests
with the Presbyteries, and these recommendations largely govern the
action of the Board, yet there is reserved to the Board the right to
appropriate according to the merits of the case, and the state of the
treasury.
HONORABI^Y RETIRED MINISTERS,
Whs have been in active service in the Presbyterian Church thirty
years in the aggregate as Missionary, Pastor or Stated Supply.
7. Every honorably retired minister over seventy years of age,
who is in need, and who has served our Church as a missionary of the
Home or Foreign Board, or of the Board of Missions for Freedmen,
or as a pastor, or stated supply, for a period in the aggregate not less
than thirty years, shall be entitled by such service to draw from the
Board of Ministerial Relief an annual sum for his support, 7vithout the
necessity of being annually recommended therefor by the Presbytery.
When such a minister shall certify to the Presbytery the fact and
amount of his need, not exceeding I300.00 per annum, it shall be the
duty of the Stated Clerk to forward the application to the Board, with
his endorsement thereon as to the years of service such minister has
rendered, his field or fields of labor, with the term of service in each,
and also to certify that the same has been reported to the Presb3'tery
and is recorded upon its minutes. It shall then be the duty of the
Board to pay such annual amount so long as the applicant shall live,
unless otherwise directed by the Presbytery or the applicant himself,
in view of a change in his circumstances that may make the appro-
priation in whole or in part no longer necessary. (Minutes of Gen-
eral Assembly of 1889, p. 32 ; 1891, p. 33 and p. 44 ; 1894, p. 35. )
12 Annual Report of the Board of Relief
DISABLED MINISTERS,
Who have not been in the aggregate thirty years in active service in
the Presbyterian Church as Missionaries, Pastors or Stated Supplies.
8. An annuity to a minister who has not been in the aggregate
thirty years in active service in the Presbyterian Church as a mission-
ary of the Home or Foreign Board, or of the Board of Missions for
Freedmen, or as pastor or stated supply, is made on the recommenda-
tion of that Presbytery, or of a Standing Committee of that Presby-
tery, to which the applicant belongs ; and the recommendation in
each case must be annually renewed. An application for aid, in case
of such minister, should state his age, his circumstances and the
number of years he has been in the ministry ; and the sex and age of
the children who are dependent on him for support.
LAY MISSIONARIES.
9. The Assembly of 1889 directed as the best method for the
present for supplying a felt need, that the names of regularly
appointed Lay Missionaries of the Foreign Board and their families
shall also be placed upon the roll of the Board the same as ministers.
In their applications for aid, Lay Missionaries shall be governed by
the rules that apply to ministers. ( Minutes of General Assembly of
1889, p. 32, and Report of Board in Minutes of Assembly of the same
year, p. 240. )
WOMEN.
10. Women who have given themselves to missionary work, and
have labored five years under the Home or Foreign Board, or under
the Board of Missions for Freedmen, may receive aid from this Board,
upon the same conditions as ministers. They may be recommended
by the Presbytery in the bounds of which they reside, or by the Pres-
bytery having jurisdiction of the church of which such missionaries
may be members, and their applications should have the endorsement
of the Board under which they have held commissions. (Minutes of
General Assembly of 1885, p. 592 ; 18S8, p. 33 ; 1S94, p. 35.)
11. If the applicant for aid be for a widow of a minister, it may
be made by the Presbytery within whose bounds the family resides,
or preferably by the Presbytery with which her husband was con-
nected at the time of his death. (Minutes of General Assembly of
1884, p. 48.)
Unless the applicant is well known, the Committee of Ministerial
Relief should always secure the endorsement of the session of the
church of which the applicant is a member, to the effect that she
needs, and is deserving of the aid for which application is made.
12. When a woman contracts marriage with a retired minister
who is receiving aid from the Board, she shall not be entitled at his
death to become a beneficiary of the Board.
13. The widow of a minister who remarries outside of the
ministry, thereby relinquishes all claims upon the Board, and should
she again become a widow she would not be entitled to aid.
14. Except in extraordinary cases, no appropriation will be made
to the widow of a minister who has children able to give her support.
(Minutes of General Assembly of 1880, p. 21.)
15. Aid may be given to orphans of ministers and lay mission-
aries, as the General Assembly says, who are " under the age at which
[
An?ucal Report of the Board of Relief 13
they are able to earn their own living," and in exceptional cases,
to orphans who have been from early years " chronic invalids." The
same rule applies in case of orphans asking for aid, as in the case of
other beneficiaries of the Board in regard to recommendations and
annual renewals. (Minutes of General Assembly of 1889, p. 32.)
GUESTS AT PERTH AMBOY.
16. Applications for admission to the Presbyterian Ministers'
House, at Perth Amboy, N. J., are to be made by the Presbyterial
Committee in accordance with the foregoing rules. Guests are
admitted to the Ministers' House in lieu of an appropriation of money.
Any guest of the House, who, in the judgment of the Superintendent,
may be a hindrance to its usefulness and to the comfort of the other
guests, shall be reported by her to the Committee in charge, who shall
have power, after an investigation of all the circumstances, to
recommend to the Board an appropriation in money for the support of
such guest, in lieu of a residence at the House. Guests at the Minis-
ters' House must be annually recommended for free residence there
by the Presbyteries.
DEATH OF DR. CATTELL.
The Presbyterian Board of Relief, at its monthly meet-
ing, held February 17th, 1898, unanimously adopted the
following minute with reference to the Rev. William C.
Cattell, D. D., Lly.D., who departed this life on the nth
day of this month, at his home in Philadelphia.
"Since the last meeting of the Board, it has pleased Almighty
God to call to his reward, its honored and beloved Secretary Emeri-
tus, the Rev. Dr. W. C. Cattell, who died on the nth and was buried
in the cemetery atEaston, Pa., on the 14th day of the present month.
In view of this event, the Board is called upon to record its sense
of the great loss sustained by it and the Church in the removal from
earth of this eminent and beloved servant of the Lord.
Dr. Cattell was in many respects a most unusual man. He had
peculiar gifts of mind and temperament which made him almost sin-
gular in his personal attractiveness, and when these with his fine
educational attainments were, as in his case they were so fully,
informed by the indwelling of the Holy Spirit of God, and devoted to
the divine praise in the service of men, he became a power well nigh
irresistible in the accomplishment of the purposes of his life. Hence
his great success as a teacher, pastor, college professor and President,
and as Secretary of this Board, in all which departments of service he
was pre-eminent.
Of this last duty to the Church the Board would speak particularly
in this final minute concerning the friend who has now been called to
rest from his labors. Dr. Cattell was a model Secretary of this Board.
He would have distinguished himself in any one of the Boards of the
Church which might have secured his services ; but for no one of
them had he so intrinsic fitness as for the executive of this Board of
Ministerial Relief. Its work he approved as right and most scrip-
tural, the neglect of which was alike most dishonoring to God and
disgraceful to the Church, but it also appealed to, and enlisted to the
full, his tenderly sympathetic nature, and so made him, whether by
pen or tongue, a most persuasive and effective advocate of the sacred
cause. So for nearly twelve years he wrought in season and out of
season with unwearying and most successful effort, occupying till the
14 Annual Report of the Board of Relief
summons came to him to rest a while before he should go up higher.
It was but a brief while, a few short months only, and the man whom
we all loved so much, having served his generation by the will of God,
fell on sleep.
The members of this Board, associated with him, will thank God
for every remembrance of him, till they meet him again. Meanwhile
they seek grace for themselves that they may be like him in devotion
to the blessed cause in their hands, even as he like his Master regarded
it his meat to do the will of him who sent him into the world and to
finish his work.
So friend and brother, we bid thee farewell, till the morning
Cometh. "

FORM OF BEQUEST.
The laws of the different States vary so much as to testamentary
bequests that in making a will it is always desirable to secure the ser-
vices of a competent lawyer. In all cases, however, where bequests

ters, AND THE Widows and Orphans of Deceased Ministers."
Address of the Corresponding Secretary
The Inexcusable Sin of Forsaking: the Levite
BY REV. B. L. AGNEW, D
Mr. Moderator ^ Fathers and Brethren : — After a year
of intense anxiety we come to the General Assembly to-day
with joy-filled hearts.
Two 3'ears ago the Board came to the Assembly with a
debt of $9,673. Last year we came to the Assembly with a
debt of $20,911, and we foresaw that, if the contributions
kept falling off as they had been doing for nine years, and
the list of Annuitants kept on increasing as we had reason
to believe it would, we would incur a debt of probably
$30,000 for the year closing March 31st, 1898, in addition to
the debt of the year previous, compelling us to report a debt
this j'ear of at least $50,000.
Accordingly, last year we asked the General Assembly
to permit us to use unrestricted legacies, if we should re-
ceive any, to meet current expenses, as all the other Boards
have been in the habit of doing. That permission was
unanimously granted by the Assembly.
We also reported to the Assembly that we would be
compelled to withhold one-fourth of all appropriations (ex-
cept those of men on the Honorably Retired roll), until the
Board would be in funds to pay appropriations in full.
Our payments kept increasing during the year, for
our roll of families increased from 835 last year to 875 for
the year just closed, making our annuities amount to $178,-
981, or $5,771 more than they had ever been in the history
of the Board.
We have done all we could to awaken an interest in
this Sacred Cause, and by increased collections in the
churches, by larger contributions from individuals and by
the use of unrestricted legacies, together with the interest on
our Permanent Fund, we have been able to pay our old
debt, and to pay all appropriations in full, amd to come to
this Assembly /ree of all indebtedness.
I said a few weeks ago, if we could pay all our appro-
priations in full, and to that extent, at least, relieve the un-
speakable distress of hundreds of families on our roll, that
I would be the happiest man in the Presbyterian Church in
the United States of America ; and I feel like saying what
a dear*old brother wrote to me when he received his with-
held'fourth : "Hallelujah! Praise God from whom all
blessings flow. ' '
1 6 Address of the Correspondiyig Secretary
The tide has turned in favor of this hallowed cause, and,
by your warm-hearted co-operation, I am sure we can induce
the churches to do better in the years to come, but we must
remove from the minds and hearts of our people every pos-
sible excuse for not contributing to this holy work.
Too many church members are like a man who was
once asked for a subscription to Foreign Missions, and he
said he did not believe in giving money to Foreign Missions
because we have too many heathen at home. After a while
he was asked for a contribution to Home Missions and he
said he did not believe in giving money to Home Missions
when they had so much to do in their own church. Then
they thought when they wanted to put a fence around the
church graveyard that they would receive a handsome sub-
scription, but when they asked him for money for that good
object, he said, " No, I won't give any money for such a
purpose, because the people who are in the graveyard can't
get out, and the people who are out don't want to go in !"
But it is a beautifully blessed thing that our people are
not all constituted that way, and that there are plenty ot
benevolent souls who find a real luxury in exercising the
grace of giving to every good cause of our Church when
these causes are fairly presented to them and their necessi-
ties are clearly seen, and 594 more churches contributed to
the Board last year than in any previous year. The
churches during the past year gave $9,073 more to this
cause than they did a year ago.
Yet, fathers and brethren, this is far from doing what
our great and wealthy Church should do for her honored
and disabled servants and for the families of our brethren
who have fallen on the field of battle. Where does the
money come from to pay our annuitants ? During the past
year $69,134 from interest on Permanent Funds; $83,164
from church collections; $f5,743 from individual contribu-
tions, and the rest from unrestricted legacies. The church
collections do not pay one-half of our annuities.
Your collections for this cause must steadily increase
from year to year if the Board is to make as large appropria-
tions as it has been doing. The average increase in our
payments for the last twenty years has been $5,856 a year.
Now, to keep up the increase in contributions of the year
just closed, will require persistent effort and unflagging zeal.
When I was a young man, my cousin, Dr. D. Hayes
Agnew, was just beginning to make his reputation as a sur-
geon, and we were talking one day about the elements of
success in life and what constituted genius, and he said,
' ' The only genius I know is hang o?i — everlasting hayig 07i."
of the Board of Relief 1 7
Now, my good warm-hearted supporters, who have
made such a good beginning to turn the tide which has been
going against this hallowed cause for nine long years, and
which has by your efforts begun to roll the other way, let us
join our efforts and pray that we may all be endued with
this blessed kind of genius — ''Hang on — everlasting hayig
on" — in arousing our churches to better work, to more gen-
erous giving, to a more magnanimous support of the noble
veterans of the old blue banner who linger with us on the
battle field, and make a better provision for the households
of those who now lie in honored graves.
Mr. Moderator and Fathers and Brethren, let me this
morning call the attention of this Assembly, and through
the members of this body, the attention of our whole
Church, to
The Inexcusable Sin of Forsaking the Levite.
I. The Sin of Forsaking the Levite is inexcusable be-
cause it is a deliberate violation of a positive law of God.
Turn over the pages of the law and see how it reads.
In the Book of Deuteronomy, 12th chapter and 19th
verse, it reads : ' ' Take heed to thyself that thou for-
sake NOT THE lyEViTE as long as thou livest upo7i the earth."
Deut. 14:27. "And the Levite that is within thy
gates ; thou shalt not forsake him ; for he hath no part
nor inheritance with thee," i. e. he has given up all
other forms of making a living for himself and family, and
you must keep him free from worldly cares and avocations.
2 Chron. 31 : 4. " Moreover he commanded the peo-
ple that dwelt in Jerusalem to give the portion of the priests
and Levites, that they might be encouraged in the law of the
Lord."
The King of the Kingdom of God laid down the law to
his disciples in the New Testament times, Matt. 10 : g-io.
" Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses,
nor scrip for your journey, neither two coats, neither shoes,
nor yet staves : for the workman is worthy of his meat. ' '
The inspired Apostle, Paul, declared the law of the
Lord in most emphatic words, first asking these extremely
significant questions of the Corinthians (i Cor., 9 : 7, 13-14),
" Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? Who
planteth a vineyard and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or
who feedeth a flock and eateth not of the milk of the
flock ?" " Do we not know that they which minister about
holy things live of the things of the temple? And they
which wait on the altar are partakers with the altar ?' ' ' 'Even
so hath the Lord ordained that they which preach the gospel
18 Address of the Corresponding Secretary
should live of the gospel \' ^ and at another time Paul said to
the Galatians, " Let him that is taught communicate unto
HIM," (or SHARE WITH HIM,) "that teacheth in all good
things." When the Church neglects to do this the startling
question comes ringing down from the eternal throne, ' ' Will
a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me." But ye say,
" Wherein have we robbed thee ?" And the answer is, " In
tithes and oflferings."
II. Another element entering into this Inexcusable Sin
of Forsaking the Levite is an absolute want of fair play — the
utter absence of all high sense of honor. It is a grievous
violation of the royal law, " all things whatsoever ye would
that men should do to you, do ye even so to them," to work
a man as long as there is any work in him, allowing him
only his clothes and daily bread, and then when he can work
no more to turn him out to starve, and yet this is largely
what many of our Churches are doing with the ministers of
the everlasting gospel !
These men could, of course, make more money at secu-
lar employments, but it is the glory of our ministry that we
have so many well-educated College and Seminary grad-
uates, who are willing to go to the frontier and preach the
ever-blessed gospel on almost starving salaries ; and when
they give the fire of their youth, the strength of their early
manhood, and the wisdom of their maturer years to the ser-
vice of the Church, I submit that it is not fair-play to turn
them out of their places and their homes and absolutely cut
off all their income in their old days, and say to them prac-
tically, we have no use for you now and you must go and
get your daily food where the cattle upon a thousand hills
get theirs !
As one of our beloved fathers says, who does not expect
to be aided by it in his old days, the Board of Relief, is em-
phatically, "Our Cause." We do all we can to induce
young men, often at great sacrifices, to prepare for the holy
ministry. They nobly and faithfully serve the Church often
on pitifully small salaries, and in their old days they are
compelled to step aside and let younger and more active
men take their places. Now, who are to provide for their
actual wants?
lyook at the Heraldic Seal of the Board of Relief.
There you see the illimitable field of wheat, which is white
already for the harvest. The old reaper has worked, and
toiled, and borne the burden and heat of the day until he is
able to work no more, and the young man full of hope and
vigor takes him by the hand and earnestly and lovingly bids
him retire from his arduous work, and go to the little cottage
of the Board of Relief i 9
near at hand and enjoy his needed rest. The old man takes
the loving counsel and lays down his sickle and takes up his
home in the place of rest. Now, does it show a high setise
of honor to leave him there with cupboard and coal-bin
empty and bare, with the corroding and crushing thought
upon his heart that the great Church he has served to the
best of his ability all his active life is ungrateful to him after
his hard, hard service has been faithfully rendered ?
Is he not our brother ? Does he not belong to our very
kith and kin in the household of faith ? Have we not the
power to secure him his daily bread? Have we lost all
sense of honor that we will not use the power in our hands
to supply his wants, and to carry some sunshine into his
little home, and make him feel that he still belongs to our
fraternity ? And have we so far lost our high sense of honor
that we can see the widows of these faithful men who have
labored by their side and cheered them on through many a
secret trial which none but God and the faithful wives of
these ministers have ever known, that we can see them suf-
fer in their widowhood when they preeminently belong to
our Sacred Circle of chosen friends ?
Your own time may come to call upon the Board for
help. Perhaps, you say, " O, no, I'll never need the aid of
the Board, for I have provided for myself and my family,
too." Yes, brother, that all sounds well and hopeful. But
listen ! A minister, blessed with great means, died and left
the Board of Relief $50,000, to be handed over to us at the
death of his aged wife. Where are the $50,000, and where
is the aged wife ? The money has disappeared and the aged
widow, ninety years old, is receiving aid from our Board of
Relief ! No man can read the future ! We have upon our
roll some of the very brightest and best of our brotherhood,
and I beg you, by all the considerations of fair play, by all
that is manly in man, by all that is honorable in Christianity,
that you will ever keep it in mind that this is preeminently
" our cause' ^ — our sacred, hallowed cause.
A dear old brother wrote to me the other day when he
received a remittance from the Board, "It is a comfort to
me now that I have never omitted to take a collection for
the cause of Relief since I was ordained to the ministry,"
and when your time comes to ask relief it will be a comfort
to you that you have always remembered in your active life
this our Sacred Cause.
The marvellous thing to me is that only one in ten of our
ministers fails to make provision for himself in his old days,
or for his family in case of his death.
For this tenth we are bound by every consideration of
20 Address of the Corresponding Secretary
fair play and by all the demands of a high sense of honor to
make comfortable provision. The other Boards may re-
trench in their work, but the Board of Relief dare not in
honor retrench. We have w^orked these men almost to
death — until they can vi'ork no more, and when they are
shut out from all fields of labor, to give them insufficient
clothing and food, I have no hesitation in saying is wanton,
wicked, Weylerite, and (if I may coin a word) concentra-
doan cruelty !
Do not say, my brethren in the ministry, that you can-
not present this cause because it seems too much like plead-
ing for one's self. Why, you cannot plead for yoiirself in
presenting this sacred cause, because you cannot receive a
dollar of the money raised while you are able to work, but
you can present your brethren's cause to God's people and
they will delight to bring a glad relief to the aged, honored,
disabled ministers of our glorious old Church and to their
suffering households. When, therefore, abundant help is
within your reach, in the name of the King of kings, how
can so many of our churches stand idly by and see our
noble men of God and the households of our departed
brethren suffer, and want, and pine, and die under a crush-
ing sense of the ingratitude of God's professed people to
whose welfare they sacrificed their youth and manhood and
all their working powers ?
III. Another element in the Inexcusable Sin of For-
saking the Levite is the absence of gemiine philanthropy.
The Socialistic, Altruistic, philanthropic idea, which is mov-
ing society to its profoundest depths to-day is that there
must be a revival of the royal law, but the masses do not
seem to realize that the royal law, ' ' Do to others as you would
have others do to you," is the divinelj^ inspired teaching of
the glorious old gospel of the Son of God.
Common humanity says that when a man has given all
his strength and energy for the welfare of others and can
work no more, he deserves warm-hearted, open-handed gen-
erosity and not soul-chilling, cold-hearted indifference !
Look at that touching scene in Washington at the
Grand Encampment, when the old soldiers of the war were
gathered there, and that magnificent procession of brave
men was marching along Pennsylvania Avenue. An ele-
gant carriage was provided for a heroic standard bearer of
Lookout Mountain, who was no longer able to march with
the Boys in Blue — dear " Old Jim."
While the battle of Lookout Mountain was raging in
its fury, Jim was shot through the leg, but he still held up
the old flag ! Then he was shot through the side, but he still
of the Board of Relief 2 1
held up the dear old flag pierced by niaii}^ a ball ; and then,
poor, brave boy, he was shot through both eyes and made en-
tirely blind ; but his brave heart bore him through all his suf-
ferings and he recovered and gathered with the boys at the
Grand Encampment, his heart full of joy and pride, but his
old body unable to walk, and when he was about to get in to
the elegant carriage provided for him to join the procession
with the prancing horses to draw him through the streets,
his loving old comrades would not have it that way, and
they said "we are going to stick to Old Jim till he dies, and
we have a wagon for him and he must get into that and we
will haul him in the procession ourselves ;" and Old Jim got
into the wagon and his old comrades of the war, with totter-
ing limbs and creaking bones hauled him along the avenue
and gloried in his comradeship, and although Old Jim's eyes
could see Old Glory no more, he proudly held up the old tat-
tered flag as he had done in many a hard fought battle, and
his comrades were glad to stick to him in his helpless days,
and were the proudest men in all that long procession deter-
mined to honor Old Jim and make him as comfortable as it
was possible to do.
Oh ! Men of God ! Shall we not stick to the Old Guard
of the King's Army, the grand old men, who have given
up all worldly glory and worldly avocations to fight our
moral battles for us, and who are now disabled from all
active service — some of whom are lame, and blind and in
actual want ? True, genuine philanthropy answers, emphati-
cally, Yes, we will.
IV. Christianity says it is an Inexcusable Sin to For-
sake the Levite because this forsaking is violation of all the
principles of the religio7i of the Son of God.
See how Christianity presents the matter of Ministerial
Support in addition to the positive ordination of God our
Saviour, the King and Head of the Church.
When Paul was an old man in prison and received aid
from the Philippians, he .said in joyful thankfulness, " I have
all, and abound : I am full, having received from Epaphro-
ditus the things which were sent from j^ou, an odor of a
sweet smell, a sacrifice, acceptable well pleasing to God,"
(Phil. 4: 18.), and then in beautiful return for what he
received, he said, " But my God shall supply all your need
according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. ' ' There is
reward enough ! What you give is regarded by the recipients
as "an odour," a beautiful bouquet with the delightful
fragrance of a sweet smell ! Oh, then are you not willing to
be an Epaphroditus to these grand old men who have served
22 Address of the Corresponding Secretary
our lyord and Saviour Jesus Christ with all their mind, and
soul, and strength, and are now disabled from work?
Here are some specimens of gratitude — letters received
when we paid the withheld fourth :
Here is a letter from a father 80 years old. "Your
great favor in the shape of a $75 check reached me to-day
for which I am very thankful to you, and still more so to
Zion's Holy King, who only knows how unworthy I am of
his favor ! Oh ! If I might talk again, or speak of the glory
of his Kingdom ! ' '
Another aged minister wrote : " May the best and the
constant blessings of God abound to all his messengers who
thus remember and help us : thus not only bestowing
material help, but greatly cheering us by giving the evident
assurance that though no longer able to work, we are
cherished in the hearts of these members of God's great
household as fellow members with them."
Another wrote, "I tell you it made me feel happy.
I can't tell what a load this grant of the Board has taken
from my mind. Surely God is good, and his people kind
thus to care for those who, having borne the burden and the
heat, find themselves in staitened circumstances in their
declining years."
Another aged minister wrote : "I wish you and the
dear brethren of the Board of Relief could look right into
my heart this morning and see what a ray of sunshine and
comfort that check has produced. God bless you and the
Board, is the prayer of my heart."
When we sent a check for the withheld fourth to an-
other blessed old brother, he wrote this letter : "It was a
great but most agreeable surprise. I hope it gave you one-
half the pleasure to send it that it caused us joy and grati-
tude in receiving it. To the Lord be the praise for all his
goodness and loving kindness to us in our old age. May
the lyord abundantly bless you and lay more largely yet the
means in your hands to lift the dark clouds from the homes
of God's veterans. "
The letters from the widows of our departed brethren are
just as full of gratitude.
One says, "On opening your letter this morning, Apr.
12th, containing a draft for fifty dollars I could but fall upon
my knees and thank God for this timely assistance."
Another lady wrote : ' ' This morning I was almost in
despair, having just received a bill for six months rent and
not a cent to pay it, and when I opened the letter and found
your check, I could not help it, but the tears rushed to my
of the Board of Relief 23
eyes and I could not but bless God for his goodness and my
heart went up in gratitude to you for this timely help. ' '
Our Annuitants most thoroughly appreciate your bene-
factions and receive them in acknowledgment of the Christ-
ian spirit in which they are bestowed.
In a grateful letter I received the other day, a dear old
brother expressed his thanks to the Board for what he had
received, and then added, " Thank the Lord the ravens are
not all dead yet." No, there are in the hearts of God's people
still many living and willing ravens of mercy ready to carry
God's supplies to his needy prophets ; but good Dr. Cattell
used to playfully say, " The ravens have gone out of busi-
ness. ' '
Dear Doctor Cattell ! How we miss the sunny smiles
of his benevolent face ! But we shall meet him again
in the sweet By-and-by with a face more radiant than ever !
As his sunny face comes up to mind continually I think of a
touching little story I recently heard of a scene down in
Maryland. An engineer on a railroad there who was a God-
less man, lived in a cottage that stood back from the road,
and he had a dear little golden-haired girl, with a sunny
face, five years old. When he went to work she would
always go with him to the gate and say, " Good-by !" One
day a paling or picket of the gate was broken out and when
he bade her good-by she put her little golden head and
bright little face through the hole in the gate where the
picket was broken and the father looked back and laughed
at the sunny-faced child, and went on his way to his daily
work with that beautiful vision before his mind all day long.
That same good-by was heard and that same bright
picture was seen at the gate day after day for a long time,
and when he returned home in the evening he always looked
for the sweet little face to greet him at the gate. One day
the child was taken sick, and when he went to work in the
morning she did not follow him to the gate. Twenty-four
hours passed away most wearily to the anxious father, who
was longing for the hour to come when he would reach
home. When his run was made, he was ordered out on a
special for twenty-four hours more ! His heart was aching
all day long and all night through, and he thought the run
would never be made ! When at length he reached his
home, there was no golden head at the gate, but there was
white ribbon on the door ! When he entered the house
neither he nor his wife spoke a word, and when he was just
ready to break down under his heart-crushing sorrow, his
loving wife threw her arms around his neck and said, ' ' Stop !
Don't cry until I tell you what little Bessie said. I asked
24 Address of the Correspoyiding Secretary
her what message she had to leave for papa, and she sweetly
said, ' Tell papa that when I go to heaven I will ask Jesus
to take a picket out of the gate and let me look through
and watch for papa to come !' "
The soul of that hard-hearted man was melted like
metal in a furnace, and he kneeled down by the little coflSn
and then and there gave his heart to Christ and solemnly
consecrated himself to God forever, and his influence for
good has been felt all these mouths, since Bessie went home
to watch for papa to come to the golden gate.
" Sweet little darling, light of the home.
Looking for some one, beckoning come ;
Bright as a sunbeam, pure as the dew.
Anxiously looking," dear one, ." for you."
And there, too, I think I see the sunny face of the be-
loved Cattell, waiting and watching for the friends he has
left on earth, and for the long line of those whose names are
familiar to him, whose sorrows have often been relieved by
his faithful and loving ministrations.
And now as God has taken him home, let us all conse-
crate ourselves to the great work in which he was so long
engaged, and let his radiant face in glory be an inspiration
to us all as we try to serve his and our Master.
When I stand between the 875 families dependent on
the Board of Relief for daily bread, and one million com-
municants blessed with abundant means, I wish I had the
persuasive power of dear Dr. Cattell, and, as a venerable
brother prayed I might have, the eloquence of Demosthenes
or Cicero, by God's help, to induce the grandest and most
benevolent Church in the world to do one of the grandest
things in the world that can be done, that is, to make as com-
fortable as possible the grand old disabled servants of this
Church, who have done so much in the years that are past
and gone to make this Church what she is to-day.
Picture in your imagination a walled town of over 3,000
people, long besieged by a powerful and resistless foe and all
supplies cut off and their rations almost exhausted ! These
people have always been loyal to the government and have
sent more brave, self-sacrificing officers to the wars of the
government than all the other towns in the country. What
would you think of a government that would let them
remain in peril of starvation and death when the government
was strong, and rich, and able at once to send relief and
abundant supplies of daily bread ? You would brand that
government and all the people of the land who approved
their cold indifference as lost to all honor, as guilty of base
and black ingratitude, as utterly inhuman, and as not only
oj the Board of Relief 25
unworthy of the respect of other nations, but as deserving
of the severest condemnation of all mankind.
But stop ! You may condemn yourselves ! Here in our
own enlightened America is a beleagured village of between
three and four thousand people, composed of 342 old officers
of the army of the Lord, of the Presbyterian Corps of the
Sacramental Host, crippled, wounded, disabled soldiers and
their households, nearly 100 of whom, all old officers, are
over 80 years of age. In that town are 472 widows of
officers in this army who have yielded their lives in the holy
cause for which they fought. There, too, are 29 orphan
families of the brave men who have died in the service at
home, and there, too, are men and women who have done
noble service in foreign lands.
They have been imprisoned in the walls of that village
by an irresistible army of unrelenting forces of disease, and
infirmities of old age, and the dreadful and harrassing
powers of poverty : and they have exhausted all their com-
missary stores, and they are daily oppressed with care and
anxiety and want, and an awful feeling that crushes a noble
soul that arises from a sense of the ingratitude of those to
whom they have given all the energies of their bodies and
their minds as long as they were fit for active service ; and
Alas ! Alas ! One-half of the great Presbyterian Church
stands almost idly by reading of their soul-piercing sorrows
and do not deny themselves of a single comfort to send relief
to the beleaguered town ! What sav 3^ou, fellow men, is it
fair, is it honorable, is it right, is it christian? Or is it
unkind, unfair, unjust, unrighteous, and unchristian?
When the English garrison at Lucknow of 1,600 was
besieged by 60,000 Sepoys, and surrender to be butchered,
or starvation within the fort, stared the besieged in the face,
how they longed for the coming of the British army to bring
relief ! And what dreadful inhumanity it would have been
for the British government not to have sent relief when they
had it in their power to do so !
Day after day passed over their heads as they waited in
in dread anxiety, and no relief came ! Strong men's hearts
sank within them and women died of starvation and exces-
sive grief. Death threatened 1,600 within the fort from
want of food. And without the raging, murderous 60,000
Sepoys roared and thirsted for their blood !
One day a poor, starving Scotch girl, acute of hearing,
thought she heard away off, over the roar of the savage,
howling Sepoys, a familiar sound that seemed to her like the
sound of the pibroch, a highland air played on the bagpipes,
a battle tune of her native land, the music so loved by the
26 Address of the Corresponding Secretary
highlanders of Scotland ; and the poor girl was so wrought
up with the intensity of her excitement that she ran through
the camp with her long disheveled hair, and her eyes as star-
ing wild as a maniac's, shrieking as she ran : " Dinna ye
hear it ? Dinna ye hear it ? ' Tis the pibroch of the Hee-
landers ! " " Dinna ye hear it ? Dinna ye hear it ? ' Tis the
pibroch of the Heelanders ! " But the poor disheartened
souls could only hear the mad, shrieking yells of the blood-
thirsty savages without the walls, and they were distressed
with the wild incessant cries of the excited girl within the
garrison : the order went forth to silence the voice of the
Scottish maiden, but they could not keep her quiet, and
soon again the garrison rang with the loud cry : " Dinna ye
hear it ? Dinna ye hear it ? ' Tis the pibroch of the Hee-
landers ! ' Tis the pibroch of the Heelanders ! ' '
And sure enough there was soon borne upon the air
above the mad cry of the heartless, savage Sepoys, the old
familiar strains that never fail to quicken the heart-beats
of Old Scotland's Sons, and the sad despairing, beleaguered
garrison heard the sweetest sounds that, perhaps, ever fell
upon their ears, for the bagpipes were playing in royal
earnestness, ' ' The Campbells are coming ! ' ' Then strong
men bowed down and wept in thankfulness to God, and
women fell prostrate on the ground and cried aloud in grati-
tude to the living Lord for his goodness and mercy for Have-
lock was at the gates and deliverance had come !
Men of God, as you see your brethren and their dear
ones besieged with sickness, the infirmities of age and the
crushing pressure of poverty, vow solemnly before Jehovah
that as far as your influence goes with the churches of our
Presbyterian Zion you will see to it that this sacred cause of
Ministerial Relief shall liave a fair chance for a good collec-
tion, and that you will not stand idly by and see your
brethren, whose honored heads are silvered for the grave, and
the dependent ones in the homes from which has gone out
the light of the leader and the help of his hands, suffer from
neglect when our great Church has it abundantly in her
power to send them glad relief, that their hearts may be
made joyful with praises to the living God !

The Committee on Accounts, having examined the securities in
the hands of the Treasurer, do certify that we find the aggregate
amount theieof ($1,133, '^18.15) to be correct, taking the securities at
the valuations at which they were taken by the corporation and stand
upon the books — certain papers being of necessity in the hands of
attornies or recorders — and that we also find the cash balance of the
Permanent Fund ($63, 92S.19) to be correct.

33d ANNUAL REPORT
Board of Missions for Freedmen
Of the Presbyterian Church in the United States
of America.
General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church.
From March 3Ist, 1897. to April 1st, 1898.
The Board of Missions for Freedmen respectfully
presents to the GENERAL ASSEMBLY its ThirTY-THIRD AN-
NUAL Report.
The first paragraph of our last Annual Report told of the
generous gift of the Barber Memorial Seminary to our work by
Mrs. Phineas M. Barber, of Philadelphia, in memory of her hus-
band.
Scarcely had the report been submitted to your Standing
Committee on Freedmen, when a message flashed over the wires
bringing the news that the main building of the institution,
which had only been open for work about six months, had been
totally destroyed by fire. Great as was the loss, there were some
things to be thankful for. There was no sacrifice of life, although
the fire had been burning for hours during the night while the
inmates of the building lay asleep and unconscious of their
danger. The alarm was given in time and the escape of teachers
and pupils made possible; but not without the loss of some valu-
able personal effects.
The fire occurred very near the close of the term, thus caus-
ing through the intervening vacation period less interruption
than if it had occurred at any other time of the year. The
building also was amply insured and could be replaced with no
serious additional outlay.
Board of Missions for Freedmen.
Rev. Geo. A. Marr, a brother of Mrs. Barber, who had sup-
erintended the erection of the former structure, began imme-
diately the task of rebuilding, and without additional cost to the
Board, save the small item of re-insurance, placed the new build-
ing at the service of the Board, January ist, and the interrupted
work was resumed under the new appointments, which are
thought to be considerably better in some respects than the old
ones. Representations of both these buildings accompany this
report as a matter of interest as well as information.
While the work at Anniston, Ala., was delayed by the fire,
the Mary Holmes Seminary, at West Point, Miss., and the Mary
Allen Seminary, at Crockett, Texas, were both prevented from
opening school at the usual time because of the prevalence of the
yellow fever in that general section of the country, and the con-
sequent arrest of travel within these states by the vigorous en-
forcement of quarantine laws. Mary Allen Seminary opened
November ist, and Mary Holmes Seminary December ist, with
no reported loss or inconvenience from the epidemic, other than
the delay mentioned.
Beside these hindrances from fire and fever at the points
named, our work at Biddle University suffered a distinct loss in
the unexpected death of Prof. Wm. H. Brooks, D.D., the efl&cient
and valuable Principal of the Preparatory Department of the Uni-
versity, who died of pneumonia, December 15th, 1897. His
place has not yet been filled — the work of his chair for the re-
mainder of the term being divided up among the other Profes-
sors, partly for economy's sake.
Aside from these interruptions and losses, the work both in
its Church and its School departments has progressed during the
year as well as could be hoped for, under the limitations imposed
upon us by a narrowing up of the sum total of our yearly re-
sources.
With a debt last year of $56,275, the Board did not feel like
taking the responsibility of going on with the work without
counsel from the Assembly.
A careful estimate for the year led us to think we could,
with an income equal to the previous year of $132,128, bring our
work down, by the strictest economy, to an expenditure of about
nine thousand dollars less than that amount. Then, if the friends
of the cause could be induced to increase their gifts to the amount
of eleven thousand dollars more than the year before, we could
reduce our embarrassing debt some twenty thousand dollars.
Board of Missions for Freedmkn.
It was our earnest wish that this should be accomplished.
The counsel of the Assembly was against cutting down the work,
and the recommendation was that special effort be made among
the churches to place this additional amount in the treasury of
our Board. In all this our fond hopes were disappointed.
We did not get the eleven thousand dollars additional, but,
on the contary, our income from all sources declined $3,228 as
compared with the previous year. The estimates of the cost of
the work for the year came reasonably near the figures we had
fixed upon ; but not only did the amount we had counted on re-
ceiving fall below our anticipations, but a considerable part of
our reduced receipts came in a form not immediately applicable to
the work, such as was for permanent funds, or as designated for
some expenditure not anticipated by the Board, but of such a
character as hardly to admit of objection to by the Board. In
this way the narrow margin between our proposed expenditure
and our lessened receipts disappeared, and in spite of all we could
do, our total indebtedness, instead of being diminished, was in-
creased $1,787. Our debt now consists in loans from Bank and
from individuals, amounting to $55,062.50, and a mortgage on
one of our buildings for $3,000, making a total of $58,062.50.
Beginning the year with this debt, we will be obliged at
once to secure additional loans to the maximum amount of not
less than $85,000 before the receipts of the Board, which fall off
during the Summer, will allow any reduction in the debt. Should
there be any serious disturbance in financial circles, we would be
unable to secure the accommodations needed, and would be under
the painful necessity of suspending the payment of all salaries.
There are certain credits to special funds which we have
carried on our books from year to year, which we have not been
accustomed to include in our statement of debt, but which as
they are called for in our work must be met from time to time
out of the funds at our command. In 1894 these credits amounted
to $21,300.97; in 1895, $12,232.55; in 1896, $23,638.80; in
1897. $23,803; in 1898, $22,760 33.
Disappointed as we have been in adding even the small
amount of $1,784 to our already burdensome debt, we do not re-
proach ourselves for any reckless expenditure of funds placed at
our command. We have reduced our work to a point where it
would seem that a further reduction would, in many places,
destroy it entirely. We have cut down salaries to^where we can
cut no more. To give our teachers less, or to further shorten the
Board of Missions^" for Freedmen.
time of the schools, which is the same thing, is to lose good
workers who can get more elsewhere, and substitute inferior
ones, who are obtainable because they are inferior.
The supplementary aid we give to the ministers who preach
the Word, is almost a reproach to the church at large, when we
consider how small the sum total of the salary is on which we
expect these ministers to live, and maintain the standing, influ-
ence and self-respect which the Presbyterian Church is accus-
tomed to look for and expect in her ministry.
There has been no one year in the last nine years in which
we received less, and it is also true that there has been no one
year in the last nine years in which we have spent less.
We have pushed economy to the verge of parsimony. This
year we have spent less in Scholarships and general work ; less
in real estate; less in field salaries; less in oflSce salaries; less in
rent and stationary ; less in printing.
We have taken up no new church work during the year,
although men ready for the work have been crying, "Here am I,
send me;" and groups of pious people, organized for service, have
repeatedly said, "Come over and help us."
We have held our schools to the shortened terms mentioned
last year, and in addition have further reduced their number
from 67 to 53. We have passed by most tempting opportunities
for doing good — too poor to seize them. Enterprises on which
considerable money has been expended, driven to the wall by
their pecuniary straits, have offered us what the world would
call splendid bargains; but warned by the fear of the slight ad-
ditional expense the acceptance of these offers would entail, we
have reluctantly declined them all.
We have done more than this. We have, as will be seen by
reference to the list that accompanies this report, a large amount
of property scattered over the South, worth hundreds of thous-
ands of dollars. This property needs constant care. The natural
wear and tear calls yearly for an expenditure of repair money, as
a matter of sound economy and good management. But our very
poverty has made us wasteful.
In many cases the property has been greatly injured from
the lack of timely expenditure of a moderate sum of money — all
in order that we might save a few dollars with which to pay the
small monthly salaries ot ministers and teachers, on which they
were depending for their living. We have been forced to this
unbusiness-like course for several years, so that we must now at
Board of Missions for Freedmen.
some early date spend thousands of dollars to preserve our prop-
erty, where hundreds before would have suflBced. We have
exemplified the proverb of Solomon: "The destruction of the
poor is their poverty. ' '
Notwithstanding all this depression and repression, there
have been some rays of light along our pathway. The ingather-
ings to the churches have been encouraging. The growth of the
work — 'SO far as we would let it grow — has been healthy.
The workers in both school and church have given satisfac-
tion, and we doubt not the kingdom of God, as represented by
our church among the colored people of the South, has during the
past year had its foundations deepened and broadened, and better
fitted every way for the future structure which it is yet to sustain.
We have reason to feel that very many earnest souls
throughout the church are deeply interested in this work, and
that, through their prayers and their efforts, God will yet bring
us out of our straits.
The first year of returning prosperity shows a turn in the
tide of missionary offerings to our cause, and a fuller flow of the
stream of benevolence that, like the River of Life, makes glad
the City of our God.
The Churches, the Woman's Societies, the Young People's
Societies and the SabbaLh Schools, all gave more this year than
last, and altogether/have increased the sum total of their contri-
butions $6, 138,70. The loss has come from a decrease in lega-
cies— lower than it has been for ten years — and a decline in
miscellaneous and individual contributions.
The Freedman's Department of the Woman's Board exceeded
their offerings of last year by over $3,600 — sending us the gener-
ous sum of $45,108 this year, as compared with $41,491 last year.
The various Woman's Societies of the Church deserve the special
thanks of the Board for the way in which they have come to our
relief and helped us to bear our heavy burdens.
Especial attention is called to the report of Mrs. Coulter,
General Secretary of Freedman's Department of Woman's Board,
which will be found, as usual, printed as an appendix to this Re-
port.
Miss Mary E. Holmes, Ph. D., of Rockford, 111., continues
to act as Freedman's Secretary of the iNorthwest, giving freely
of her time and energies, expecting the Board in turn only to
meet the light expenses of correspondence and travel. Her labors,
which have been abundant during the year, have been attended
with gratifying results.
Board of Missions for Freedmbn.
The employment of Rev. Dr. Weaver as a special agent for
Biddle University, which met with the approval of the Assembly,
is a venture which will need another year in which to determine
its practical wisdom. Dr. Weaver has, during the year, rendered
most diligent services, and from very many sources we have re-
ceived expressions of the highest appreciation of his work, but
the results so far have not added materially to our receipts.
Soon after his engagement by the Board an unusually excel-
lent collection of lantern-slides, setting forth the character and
extent of our work, was prepared by Rev. David R. Breed, D.
D. , a member of the Board, and placed under the charge of Dr.
Weaver as an accessory to his work. Pittsburgh churches were
first visited by Dr. Weaver with the lantern-slide exhibition,
with gratifying results as to collections toward meeting ex-
penses, as to the most favorable impressions made by the pictures
themselves, and as to Dr. Weaver's every way satisfactory pre-
sentation of the same. In subsequent presentations of the work
in this form elsewhere the results have not been so good, and
while the Board clearly feels that Dr. Weaver should continue
another year in this work, the question of future methods of pro-
cedure will have to be considered later by the Board.

The amount contributed for self-support, none of which goes
through the Board's treasury, or enters into our accounts, was
$65,975-01.
The Freedmen gave to the support of their own ministers
and churches $34,562.57.
To the support of their own schools $31,412.44.
With our income as it is, we can barely maintain the work
as at present established. We cannot do this and pay our debt,
nor can we spare from our salary fund the money that should be
spent in keeping our property in good repair.
The only part of the work we can well reduce, without re-
ducing our own resources, is the church work. Much of the
Board op Missions por pRBBDMBif.
money which maintains the schools comes from the Woman's
Societies, Sabbath Schools and Young People's Societies, already
pledged for some particular school; often for a particular teacher
or scholar. To close the schools is, in many cases, to close up
work with money practically in hand with which to do that
work — money that otherwise would not likely come to us at all.
The other alternative is to close up some of the churches
and say to the ministers, whom we have trained in our own
schools and sent out under the commission of the Presbyterian
Church to preach the gospel to their own people. We cannot
maintain you. Close up the Churches of Jesus Christ! Say to
these men whom we have trained to believe our creed and love
our Church : Go, seek other fields — reconstruct your theology and
find homes in other denominations!
We do not believe the Church is ready to give this word of
command.
Our own best judgment is — if the Assembly assents — to carry
the debt for the present as best we can ; maintain the work in its
present proportions; continue to lay the claims of the work on
the conscience of the Church, and go carefully, prayerfully on,
hoping and trusting that God, in his own good time, may open
up the way through special gifts from special friends, directly or
by bequest, by which the load may be removed.
The term of service of the following named members of the
Board expires with this Assembly: Rev. Solon Cobb, D.D. ,
Rev. David R. Breed, D. D., Mr. George Logan, Mr. S. P. Har-
bison.
We ask that they be re-elected.

REPORT OF THE STANDING COMMITTEE.
The Standing Committee on Freedmen, appointed by the
General Assembly in session at Winona Lake, Ind., this year, in
its report, among other things made the following statements:
"The Board deserves commendation for its earnest attempt
to realize the hope expressed a year ago, that the debt resting
upon it might be diminished. Economy has been exercised to
the extreme limit in every department of the work,"
"During the past year the Board has received from all
sources $128,900, a part of which was to be invested in the per-
manent fund, or was designated for some work not expected by
the Board and yet of such a nature that it could not be objected
to."
"It had cash on hand April ist, 1897, $1,413,47, making
total money in its treasury for the year, $130,313.47. During
the same time it has expended for all purposes, including the
payment of annuities and investment of gifts for the permanent
fund, $131,515.96, and on April ist, 1898, had cash on hand,
$585.01. It reports a present debt of $58,062.50. "
"This situation is a great disappointment, but cannot be
charged as a reproach against the Board. The Presbyterian
Church is the party at fault. It has not supplied the funds and
must not attempt to shift the responsibility from its shoulders."
RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED.
ist. That the minutes of the Board for 1897-98 be approved
by the General Assembly.
2nd. That Rev. Solon Cobb, D.D., Rev. David R. Breed,
D.D., Mr. George Logan and Mr. S. P. Harbison, members of
the Board whose terms expire with this Assembly, be re-elected
as their own successors.
3rd. That the Board of Missions for Freedmen be instructed
to conduct its work during the present year within the limit of
last year's expenditures.
4th. That the Board, acting through the Presbyterial
Committees, make enthusiastic and persistent effort to secure an
offering from every congregation in the Church, equalling at least
an average of 20 cents for each communicant.

FOURTEENTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE
Krkedivien's Department
OF TH E
Woman^s Board of Home Missions.
The Freedmen's Department of the Woman's Board of
Home Missions would respectfully submit its Fourteenth An-
nual Report.
While we have deeply felt the necessity which led the Board
of Missions to close fourteen additional schools this year, we are
thankful so many have been left, and have endeavored, as far as
possible, to relieve the Board by securing teachers salaries and
scholarships.
The Treasurer of the Board has received, through the
Woman's Board of Home Missions, $45,108.73 This is an in-
crease of $3,617. 14 over the receipts of last year. Excluding
legacies received this year and last, the actual increase from
societies is $5,417.14.
Of the money received, $14,230.49 was for salaries; $13,319.-
59 for scholarships; $2,098.56 for general work of the schools;
$949.26 for building, and $14,510.83 for the General Fund of the
Board. A few societies sent direct to the Treasurer of the Board.
He received in this way $263.80, making the total through
Women's Societies $45,372.53.
Contributions have been received from 2,124 societies, 319
more than last year. The interest thus shown and by the in-
creased gifts is certainly greater than ever before, and the growth
is a healthy one. It arises from a clearer knowledge of the work
and is due very largely to the faithful efforts of Synodical and
Presbyterial Secretaries for Freedmen.
There has been also a little advance in Box Work. About
400 boxes and barrels have been reported. The value of these,
as far as given, is $12,492.58. We have reason to believe that
more were sent than reported.
76 Board of Missions for Freedmen.
Miss Mary E. Holmes, Ph. D., Freedmen's Secretary for the
North West, has been indefatigable in her efforts and has accom-
plished much in securing a working interest in the societies of
that region. There has been an equal increase of interest in our
Eastern Synods, notably in that of New Jersey. We have been
temporarily deprived of Mrs. Swift's valuable services during the
year, but feel that much of the increased interest is due to her
faithful work last year. Miss Jackson, of Haines School,
Augusta, Ga., addressed several Synodical and Presbyterial
Societies last fall and this spring. Her visits were very helpful
in awakening and increasing interest. Mrs. Dr. Satterfield, of
Scotia, has also this Spring visited Societies in Michigan, Penn-
sylvania and New York, and as usual a deeper interest is felt
wherever she has spoken. Dr. Weaver also has addressed several
societies with great acceptance. We would gratefully acknowl-
edge that the principal work has been done bv our earnest Syn-
odical and Presbyterical Secretaries, some of whom, by invitation,
have addressed Presbyteries not their own.
The work upon the field continues to be of great interest.
The character of our schools is sometimes misunderstood and
consequently their great importance to the work committed to
the Board of Missions for Freedmen, underrated. They do more
than give intellectual training. In all our boarding schools, and,
as far as possible, in our parochial schools, such industrial train-
ing is given as will enable a pupil to earn a livelihood, if neces-
sary, by manual labor. In our girls' schools, laundry work,
cooking, chamber work, plain sewing, dress making, and in
some of the schools nurse training is added to the curriculum,
and they are graded for this work just as in the class room. The
boys and young men are taught carpentry, cabinet making,
masonry, plastering, painting, shoe-making, tailoring, printing
and farming. Some of the buildings belonging to the Board are
the work of the young men connected with our schools. In some
of our parochial schools, boys, as well as girls, learn to sew.
But our schools go beyond the mere industrial and intellec-
tual training. They are distinctly religious in their character.
Joseph Parker well said : ' ' You cannot train men by the intellect
alone. You must take hold of manhood by the heart if, you
would train it into strength and dignity and usefulness." This
is what is attempted in our schools. It is this that justifies their
existence and lends force to our pleas for them. How well they
are accomplishing this will be seen from the answers to questions
sent to the Principals, asking what plan, if any, had been adopted
Board of Missions for Freedmen. 77
for Bible study in their schools. The replies have beea most
satisfactory and it has been a surprise to find how thorough the
instruction has been in almost every case.
In Biddle University, beside the weekly Bible lesson and the
lessons in Sabbath school, which all the students are required to
attend, the Shorter Catechism is taught. The plan is to get
through the entire Catechism during the school year. At Scotia
the Bible story is studied in the Sabbath school under Dr. Satter-
field's direction, he giving outlines on Thursday evening of
each week, teachers and scholars taking it down in note books.
A doctrinal course is given in morning chapel, of which they
have printed subjects. There is also a devotional course for
morning prayers in the dining room, consisting mainly of mem-
orizing and reciting gems of Scripture. The Wednesday evening
prayer-meeting is a genuine normal class. The school is divided
by roll so each teacher has a division. They meet in the class
room ; and while the teacher guides, the older girls take turns in
leading and all are free to take part. When these girls go out to
work they conduct prayermeetings and Sabbath schools. With
such training we do not wonder that they enjoy the presence of
the Holy Spirit and that 245 of the pupils are church members.
At Mary Allen Seminary the plan of Bible study embraces the
whole Bible, with a recitation every morning except Saturday.
On Sabbath they follow the International lessons, and in the
morning chapel exercises the International daily readings, in
which the entire school takes part. All study the Shorter Cate-
chism, finishing up with Scripture proofs which are memorized.
Dr. Smith writes: "The great reason of the influence of the
school on the lives of its students, even in those who do not be-
come Christians here, is in the great amount of Bible truth
brought to bear upon them from the Bible itself and our excellent
Catechism." Here, too, we do not wonder that of more than 200
pupils but nine are not professing Christians. At Ingleside Semi-
nary they have a regular Bible course extending through four
years of the Seminary course and concluding with one year of
Church history. The Shorter Catechism is studied during the
entire course — the first year is devoted chiefly to memorizing it.
During the fourth year the Scripture proofs are taken up, and
the fifth year Mr. Campbell gives talks upon the Catechism,
which really constitute a practical studv of Theology. Here,
again, the seed sown has ripened into a harvest. Of iii girls in
the school, but four are not professing Christians. Mr. Camp-
bell writes: "The marked improvement in manners and morals
78 Board op Missions for Frbbdmbn.
of our higher classes, the earnest Christian work and the sus-
tained Christian lives of nearly all our graduates are the greatest
encouragements that come to us in a work that is beset with
difficulties and trials." Mary Holmes Seminary has a short
term this year, as the yellow fever prevented its opening until
December. They are studying with great interest and profit
"The Gospel History of Jesus Christ." All study the Cate-
chism. A new and strong impulse has been given to its study
by seeing the beautiful copy of the Bible one of the pupils re-
ceived for reciting it perfectly. Dr. Payne writes: "You will
be inteiested to know that there is an increasing desire among
both teachers and scholars for a deeper work of the Spirit in our
midst. This was manifest in our teachers' prayer -meetings to-
night. It is also seen in the students' prayer-meeting started
and maintained by themselves every afternoon. It is mani-
festing itself in the expressed interest of Christians in the
salvation of the unsaved and in the seriousness of some of
those who have been thoughtless about their eternal interests.
Of the 104 pupils in this school, 83 are professing Chris-
tians." It is too soon to look for large results at Barber Memor-
ial. The beautiful new building, after having been occupied
six months, was burned May last, and the scholars dispersed.
The ashes were not cold before Mrs. Barber and the friends were
arranging for rebuilding. Work was pushed forward and a new
building, with some improvements suggested by experience, was
ready to be opened for students in January. The teachers are
finding the difficulties always encountered when a number of un-
trained girls are first brought together. Yet, here, too, there is
progress. The Bible is studied every day. Three classes are
studying "The Life of Christ;" the fourth class is in "Old Tes-
tament History." The school can recite, perfectly, many pas-
sages of Scripture. Mr. Crawford writes: "Our encouragement
is in the need of the work being done, and the belief that God
will give the blessing in his own way. Two thirds of the schol-
ars are professing Christians."
We find similar teaching and results in oui mixed schools
and where day pupils are also admitted. At Brainerd Institute
the Bible is the first recitation. Prof. Marquis assigns the
amount of work that must be done in each grade, and the Bible
is carried to school with other books and regular work is done in
it. Bible History is used as a text -book in the High school.
All study the Catechism. Mrs. Marquis writes: "The religious
interest was never greater than during this year and the spiritual
Board of Missions por Freedmen. 79
life of the students was never on so high a plane." The same
kind of religious training is carried on at Haines School, Au-
gusta, Ga., and with the same results. A series of meetings
were held during the week of prayer and the two following
weeks. Miss Laney writes: "Those who were trying to follow
the Master, but often were a great way off, came nearer to the
Saviour.*' Throughout the school there have been 37 conver-
sions. All the boarders are Christians except four. lr\ Ferguson
Academy the Bible is taught to four classes. All the school
have learned a few Psalms, the Beatitudes and the Command-
ments. The boarding students have studied the Catechism and
coramitfcd verses for recitation everj' evening. Mr. Amos says:
' ' I think it would be diflHcult to find the same number of students
able anywhere to surpass these in reciting the Scriptures." In
Harbison Institute "Bible Outlines for Christian Workers" is
used in connection with the Scriptures and Shorter Catechism.
Mr. Elliott writes: "We do feel that the religious influence in
Harbison is strong to induce all who attend to become Chris-
tians." Swift Memorial Instittite has the Bible taught in the
various departments by the teachers in charge, and it is read
systematically at morning and evening devotions. All study the
Catechism. Mr. Franklin says: "The spiritual condition of
our school has improved greatly. The impovement has been so
marked that it has been frequently mentioned." Our schools in
Arkansas all give thorough instruction in Bible and Catechism,
Richard Allen Institute has enjoyed an outpouring of the Spirit,
and Mr. Johnston rejoices in numbers being brought into the fold.
Mr. Potter, of Cotton Plant, reports the spiritual condition of
the school much improved. Mr. Mebane, of Monticello, writes:
"Our object is to increase the knowledge of the Bible. Many of
these homes are without Bibles and it is oftentimes distressing to
see how little they know about God's Word." The pupils at
Oak Hill, Ind. Ter., in addition to the regular plan for Bible
study, commit verses every Sabbath afternoon and review each
Sabbath what they had learned the previous one, this fixing it
in their memory. Wallmg/ord Academy, Goodwill School and
Kendall Institute, in South Carolina, all report studies in Bible
and Catechism. Mr. Davis, of Goodwill School, adds: "Some
conversions have been attributed to the morning Bible lessons."
Kendall Institute has been peculiarly blessed in the large number
of conversions. Mary Potter School sX Oxford, N. C, Holbrook
Street School, at Danville, Va., and the ^ohooX 2X Madisoyi, Ga.,
pursue different plans, but all find the results encouraging.
8o Board of Missions for Freedmen.
The Parochial Schools of Jetersville, Nottoway, Chula,
Ridgeway and Stuart, Va., all have a regular plan for Bible
study. Blacksburg, McConuellsville, Blackstock, Winnsboro
and Ridgeway, S. C, and Newnan, Ga., study the Bible and
Catechism regularly. In Lothian, Md., the Bible is read by the
pupils and explained by the teacher and the Catechism is studied.
Can we not look upon the more than 400 conversions reported in
connection with these schools as the result under God of the
faithful study of His Word ?
It is when we look upon our closed schools and the mass of
ignorance and superstition still untouched, and see the readiness
of God to bless our efforts, that we realize the great opportunity
for good and how little we are doing. Carlyle says: "That
there should one man die ignorant who had capacity for knowl-
edge, this T call tragedy." How many such tragedies occur in
our own country every hour. We can rush to the relief of the
Cubans, even though it costs the lives of many of our brave men
and millions of money, but can calmly hear of those at our own
doors starving for the "Bread of Life" and do nothing for them.
The increase of numbers and crime would overwhelm us, did we
not know that the work is the Lord's?
"Did we in our own strength confide.
Our striving would be losing,"
But in God is our strength,
"A mighty fortress is our God,
A bulwark never failing;
Our helper he, amid the flood,
Of mortal ills prevailing."
Respectfully submitted,

Fifteenth Annual Report to the General Assembly
Thk College Board begs leave to submit its Fifteenth
Annual Report.
It records a year of unparalleled calamity and gracious
deliverance. The Board walked in the valley of the shadow
of death, but goodness and mercy followed it and overtook it.
We became a reproach to our neighbors, a scorn and derision
to them that were round about us. Then cried we unto the
lyOrd: Remember not our iniquities against us; let thy tender
mercies prevent us, for we are brought very low; help us, O
God of our salvation, for the glory of thy name, and deliver
us. He is a God ready to pardon, gracious and merciful, and
he helped us with a great deliverance.
THE UNPARALLELED CALAMITY.
The Board supposed on Tuesday, 6 July, 1897, that it held
a large amount in cash and securities; the next day it learned
that $45.12 constituted its entire assets, the Treasurer,
Mr. Charles M. Charnley, having embezzled the remaining
$61,239.06.
Mr. Charnley was appointed a member of the Board by the
General Assembly of 1883, which organized it. He was chosen
its first Treasurer, and served eight years without salary.
After the wreck of his business, caused by his assuming the
liabilities of an erring relative to shield him from criminal pun-
ishment, the Board paid him a small salary. He was the Board's
nursing-mother, carrying it in his heart and his arms, acquaint-
ing himself with every detail of its work, advancing money
freely in its seasons of low receipts, and, though burdened with
large business interests, giving it unstinted time and labor.

church member and officer, and the architect of a comfortable
fortune, seemed to merit the confidence which he received, and
led to his having, without seeking it, the handling of trust
funds for several organizations and many relatives and friends.
The present Secretary of the Treasury of the United States told
the President of the Board, not long ago, that he had the most
unbounded confidence in Mr. Charnley's business ability and
integrity. Some men known the world over for their good
judgment of men and affairs, as proved by their success, had
similar confidence, and some of them paid very high for it.
It was suddenl)^ discovered in July that Mr. Charnley
had lost his property by a series of calamities, bad been specu-
lating on the Board of Trade through brokers, and had em-
bezzled the funds and securities of the Board, funds of his
church, other trust funds, an estate of which he was exec-
utor, and other funds and securities of relatives, friends and
business associates. His deceptions of the Auditing Commit-
tee of this Board were found to have been amazingly skillful,
including the forging of a certified check for $24,000. The
officers of the Board forced Mr. Charnley's confession and
resignation, declined to consider proposals to accept money to
let him go, assured his not escaping, and called a meeting of
the Board.
The Board placed the case in the hands of the surety com-
pany which was on Mr. Charnley's bond, and the)^ took him in
custody. While in their custody and while the case was in
preparation for the Grand Jury he escaped. Ever)^ effort has
been made to trace and arrest him, but not a clew has yet been
discovered.
THE GRACIOUS DELIVERANCE.
When the calamity became known there was widespread
desire to help. An honored friend loaned $10,000 for immedi-
ate necessities. Members of the Board, of Chicago Presbytery
and of the synods of Illinois, Minnesota, Wisconsin and New
Jersey made prompt and generous contributions or subscrip-
tions. Churches and individuals everywhere sent expressions
of sympathy and confidence, and unsolicited aid. From home
and foreign mission fields, from rich churches and from strug-
gling ones, from many loyal and generous hearts came kind
words and gifts. Chairmen of synodical and presbyterial com-
mittees rendered effective service. It is impossible to express
the gratitude due to all these servants of God, and to the
Lord whose Spirit moved them. They show convincingly the
power of the grace of God in his Church. The lyord reward

FINANCES.
The goodness of God through his people has enabled the
Board to close the year without a deficit, and, without using
any of the ordinary income of the Board for the purpose, to re-
place nearly all the embezzled funds except a small remainder
for which we hold good pledges.

INSTITUTIONS.
The Board has aided twenty-eight institutions. This has
been on the whole the most prosperous year in their history.
The number of students was 2,7o3, being (for the same insti-
tutions) a gain of 16. There are gains over the preceding
year of 23 College and 33 Academic students, of 141 in Sys-
tematic Bible Study, and of 105 in Church members. There
were 69 less in Classical study, 15 fewer credibly converted,
and one less meaning to be ministers.
4 COLLEGES AND ACADEMIES. [1898
Their Needs.
Growing children need larger clothes. The Church must
provide for these struggling children of hers larger build-
ings and more teachers, apparatus and libraries. It is pathetic
to see a few teachers whose splendid work has attracted stu-
dents, endeavoring to handle too many pupils in crowded
rooms with insufficient apparatus. We should suppose that
the Presbyterian Church, the friend of learning and of the
Word of God, would be anxious to aid such institutions.
Doubtless the Church would if it knew about them; but cer-
tainly not one-third of our ministers, probably not one-tenth,
have told their people about this work. The General Fund
income of the Board should be at least $150,000 to handle the
institutions now on its list.
And they must be endowed, and that soon. Their tuition
charges are necessarily slight, to enable them to compete with
state institutions; children of ministers and students for the
ministry and other special cases commonly pay no tuition; so
that these institutions, with their good buildings, all but two
or three free from debt, and having the confidence of the
churches in their regions, must receive endowment to make
their work permanent. Those who desire to invest money ad-
vantageously for the present and future good of the cause of
Christ in our country, should supply the Board with means
which will enable it to offer from $5,000 to $25,000 for permanent
productive endowment, on condition that the institutions
should raise certain amounts. Unless this shall be done, some
schools and colleges which have done exceedingly fine work
and have now good property free from debt, and a growing stu-
dent clientage, will in a few years be forced by the competition
of state schools to close their doors — an everlasting shame
and disgrace to our great Church.
Assignment of^Fields.
In accordance with the instructions of the General Assem-
bly of 1896, fields for solicitation of Property Funds have been
assigned to a number of institutions. The representative of
one college has had fair success; three others have secured
enough to warrant farther effort with hope of reasonable out-
come; but the rest have not always secured funds sufficient to
cover their salaries and expenses.
Will our Church leave these institutions, founded by its
directions and encouraged by its promises, loyal to its rules
and fully under its control, to struggle in vain? Or will stew-
ards of their Lord's funds open their ears, their hearts and
1898] COLLBGBS AND ACADBMIES. 6
their purses to our solicitors? The future of our Church in the
West depends greatly upon the practical reply made to these
paramount questions.
PLAN FOR THE CLASSIFICATION OF INSTITUTIONS.
It has been found impracticable to carry out this plan fully
this year; more time is necessary to make the plan clear to in-
stitutions, to give them an opportunity to work up its require-
ments and to ascertain exactly where they rank according to
the plan. It is hoped that another year may see it carried
out. The plan may be tound at pages 20-23.
EDUCATION DAY.
More churches every year heed the recommendations of pre-
vious Assemblies, to use a Sunday near the Day of Prayer for
Schools and Colleges as Education Day, instructing their peo-
ple regarding the place of the divine Word in true education.
The rapid and complete secularization of our state schools and
universities throughout the West, banishing the Holy Bible
and prayer from the precincts of learning, should arouse our
people to the peril of western youth if our Christian institu-
tions are not strongly reinforced. Our religious papers are
doing admirable work in this behalf, and the situation is not
without much promise. The general observation of Educa-
tion Day would assure the instruction of our people on this
subject.
MEMBERSHIP.

CONSTITUTIONAL PROVISIONS.
The followiug are the chief provisions under which this
Board has been constituted, as determined by the Act of the
General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in the United
States of America, in session at Saratoga, N. Y., May, 1883:
The name of this Board shall be the Presbyterian Board of
Aid for Colleges and Academies, and the general work shall
have the limitations indicated by its title.
The Board shall consist of twenty-four members, divided
into three classes, composed equally of ministers and laymen,
and one class shall be elected each year.
The province of the Board shall be to secure an annual
offering from the churches for this cause; to cooperate with
local agencies in d'etermining sites for new institutions; to de-
cide what institutions shall be aided; to assign to those institu-
tions seeking endowment the special fields open to their ap-
peals, that clashing between them may be avoided; and to dis-
courage all independent appeals to the church at large.
The funds received by the Board shall be devoted either to
current expenses of struggling institutions or to permanent en-
dowments.
The funds shall be secured (a) by annual offerings from
the churches, mainly for current expenses of the institutions;
(i^) by special applications for endowment under the approval
and general direction of the Board.
Every institution hereafter established, as a condition of re-
ceiving aid, either shall be organically connected with the
Presbyterian Church in the United States of America, or shall,
by charter provision, perpetually have two-thirds of its Board
of Control members of the Presbyterian Church.
In the case of institutions already established and not in-
cluded under the above provisions, appropriations for endow-
ment shall be so made as to revert to the Board whenever
these institutions shall pass from Presbyterian control.
In all other respects the disbursement of funds by the
Board shall be wholly discretionary with the Board, both as to
amount and direction, subject always to the control of the Gen-
eral Assembly.
1898] GENERAL INFORMATION. 11
WANTED: GIFTS.
1. For the General Fund ; derived from church annual
offerings (to be made in February if convenient), and individ-
ual gifts ; from which appropriations are made to the current
expenses of institutions. Only institutions whose charters or
articles of incorporation place them in the control of the Pres-
byterian Church are aided ; and no institution may incur
indebtedness while connected with the Board. Demands
upou this fund increase more rapidly than the churches' gifts
to it.
2. For the Property Fund ; derived from individual
gifts and bequests; used to aid institutions in (1) Paying off
remaining indebtedness ; (2) Adding needed buildings or
other equipment ; (3) Obtaining endowment.
The Board, offering part of the amount needed, stimulates
local giving of the rest, bringing to the Church property
worth from three to five times the amoiint of the gift. Re-
quiring adequate insurance on buildings and their contents,
and taking a mortgage on the institution's property, the Board
secures to the Church forever not only its own gift, but the
entire property. Gifts should be made through the Board in
order to secure the Church's perpetual hold upon them. Per-
sonal gifts and bequests, either for designated institutions or
to be distributed in the Board's discretion, are increasingly
needed.
(1.) Debts. A few institutions are embarrassed, their
growth hindered, their income partly absorbed in interest pay-
ments, by indebtedness mostly small compared with the values
of the properties.
(2.) Equipment. Successful institutions with increasing
patronage require additional buildings and enlarged equip-
ment.
(3.) Endowment. Most of our schools are unendowed.
The Board's income is not sufficient to carry all these and to
aid new schools. Schools of approved worth must be endowed.
3. Solicitation of Funds by representatives of aided
institutions is forbidden, except in fields assigned to them or
from personal friends; See pages 15-16.
12 COLLEGKS AND ACADEMIES. [J 898
APPLICATIONS FOR AID.
1. Ownership. Ownership and control of institutions
expecting aid must be vested in an ecclesiastical corporation
belonging to our denomination ; or in a board of trustees annu-
ally elected or nominated by such an ecclesiastical corporation ;
or in a board of trustees, two-thirds of whose members shall
always be, by stipulation in the charter or articles of incor-
poration, members of the Presbyterian Church in the United
States of America.
2. Determining Sites. The Act of General Assembly
constituting the Board directs it "To cooperate with local
agencies in determining sites for new institutions. ' ' It should
be consulted before a projected institution expecting its aid
is located.
3. Selecting Institutions. The Board is also "To de-
cide what institutions shall be aided." The territory is vast;
communities needing Christian schools are innumerable; local
offers of land, buildings, cash for starting schools are multi-
tudinous; the Board's resources are limited; the multiplication
of small colleges and schools cannot easily outrun the need,
but does outrun the Church's contributions for their aid; the
Board must make selection.
( 1. ) ReIvATive Location. Remoteness from other Chris-
tian schools and from State institutions is a claim. Ordinarily
but one Presbyterian college can be aided in a State until the
Presbyterians of the State can support that and aid a new one
beside. No academy in the vicinity of another Presbyterian
school will be aided.
(2.) Population. To preempt for the Church strategic
points which are to become influential centers is sound policy;
yet neither may sanguine expectations of new settlers be always
accepted as prophecies of future greatness, nor may places
already populous and growing be neglected.
(3.) Property Foundation. A new institution should
have a property foundation sufl&cient to assure, with moderate
aid from the Board, the meeting of its annual expenses at the
outset. No new institution having indebtedness may expect cur-
GENBRAL INFORMATION. * 13
rent aid; but the Board will try, in cases of exceptional merit,
to aid in removing the debt.
(4.) Local Interest. Land and cash offered as real
estate speculation, with no vital local interest in a Christian
school, do not invite the Board's aid; for the Board cannot
provide all or one-half what will be needed eventually, but
stimulates by its offers that local giving which must be the
main reliance. The Board has settled policy to help insti-
tutions which, by a local spirit of fostering generous aid, have
promise of large future. The Lord's money must be invested
by its steward, the Board, where the largest returns are prob-
able.
(5.) Educational Work. The Board is set to aid col-
leges and academies, not low grade schools, and to foster class-
ical study which high schools rarely provide. Yet where an
academy can increase income and draw pupils to advanced
studies by teaching lower or commercial branches, and where
a college can increase income and lead students into its col-
lege courses by doing preparatory work, this is approved.
But in all institutions a high and rising grade of educational
work is expected.
( 6. ) Spiritual Influence. Our institutions are meant
to convert the unconverted and to consecrate Christians.
Schools with consecrated teachers doing their work in a mis-
sionary spirit; with daily worship, young people's societies,
and a total life that influences pupils toward Christ, and
young men toward the ministry, have large claim for aid.
The highest educational work, lacking this element, has no
claim upon the Church's funds.
(7.) Bible Teaching. The Word of the Lord, which
converts the soul, makes wise the simple, rejoices the heart,
and enlightens the eyes, must be a chief text-book in every
school aided by the Board. Teaching the evidences of Chris-
tianity is not sufficient; Christianity must be taught. Schools
doing superior Bible work have superior claims upon tbe
Board's aid.
(8. ) Change of Grade. An institution having aid from
the Board as an academy may not change its grade to that of
14 ' COI^LEGES AND ACADEMIES. [1898
a college without the previous consent both of its synod and
of the Board.
(9.) Visitation. New institutions must not expect aid
before they have been visited by the Secretary.
4 Applications for Current Aid.
(1.) Form. Application is to be made by the trustees,
in formal meeting, filling out a blank which the Secretary
will furnish on request, and will send to aided institutions
May 1. Applications made for the first time should be ac-
companied by the fullest information regarding the history and
prospects of the institution.
(2.) Time. The annual Board meeting for voting on ap-
plications is held on the third Tuesday in June. Applications
must be in the Secretary's hands by June 1. If the trustees
cannot meet in time for this, the Executive Committee should
send an application as nearly as possible like that which the
trustees will probably adopt; and the formal application,
adopted by the trustees, should reach the Secretary bj^ June 15.
Institutions withholding applications beyond the date of the
meeting, and giving no satisfactory explanation of the delay,
will be regarded as expecting no aid from the Board for the
ensuing year.
(3.) Approval by Presbytery or Synod. Applications
of colleges must have the formal approval of their synods
endorsed upon the applications; applications of academies, the
approval of their Presbyteries. Failing this, no aid can be
given but upon unanimous vote of the Board, sixteen mem-
bers being present. Yet as there is often no meeting of the
ecclesiastical body held between the making of the applica-
tion by the trustees and the June Board meeting, unen-
dorsed applications will be voted on at the June meeting; ex-
act duplicate applications, approved and endorsed, to be sent
to the Board before any payment of aid will be made.
The Board assumes that in approving an application the
synod or presbytery has satisfied itself by careful investiga-
tion (by committee visitation and scrutiny of the institution,
if possible), regarding the institution's Location, if it be well
chosen; Financial Administration, if it be wise and economi-
1898] GENERAL INI-OKMATION. 15
cal; Scholastic Work, if it be broad, symmetrical and thorough;
and Spiritual influence, if it lead pupils to Christ, form noble
manhood and womanhood, and bring young men to the minis-
try. The Board further assumes that, in approving an appli-
cation, ministers and ruling elders purpose to follow their
affirmative votes with cordial assistance in prayers, kind words
and gifts.
5. Application for Property Funds. Applications for
Property Funds for aid in paying indebtedness or in the pro-
duction or increase of property should be made in writing,
should state explicitly all facts in the case, should be certified
as adopted by a formal vote of the trustees in regularly called
meeting, and should have formal approval of synod (for a
college) or of presbytery (for an academy).
APPROPRIATIONS FOR CURRENT AID.
1. Amount. The Board makes appropriations in deep
sympathy with struggling institutions, mindful of exceptional
cases, seeking the advantage of the Church's entire educa-
tional work, and with such wisdom as may be given to those
who, knowing their lack, ask of God. It can give only what
the Church contributes. Under no circumstances will its total
amount of appropriations exceed its reasonably assured in-
come.
2. Announcement. Appropriations voted at the June
Board meeting will be at once announced to boards of trustees
of institutions, that they may adjust their proposed outlay for
the ensuing scholastic year to their probable income.
3. Additional Sources of Income.
(1.) From Churches. Colleges aided by the Board may
solicit from the churches of their respective synods their an-
nual College Board offerings; and academies have similar priv-
ileges in their respective presbyteries. Church offerings sent
to the Board, but designed for institutions which have a right
undeir this rule to solicit them, will be forwarded to the insti-
tutions, in addition to any appropriation voted by the Board,
if churches indicate the designation of such offerings at the
16 , COI^LKGES AND ACADEMIES. [1898
time of remittance. Institutions asking aid of the Board will
be considered as thereby pledging themselves not to solicit
offerings from churches in fields not assigned to the institution
by the Board.
(2.) From Individuals. Colleges aided by the Board
may solicit personal gifts in their respective synods, academies
in their presbyteries, or both from fields assigned them or from
personal friends anywhere; but this does not mean that ac-
quaintance with a pastor in another synod or presbytery au-
thorizes solicitation from his church or people, or that solicita-
tion may be made of persons because they have previously
aided an institution. Institutions asking aid of the Board will
be considered as thereby pledging themselves not to solicit in-
dividual gifts of persons in fields not assigned to the institution
by the Board. Individual gifts designed for institutions which
have a right under this rule to solicit them, and sent to this
Board, will be forwarded to the institutions, in addition to any
appropriations voted by the Board, if the giver indicates the
designation of his gift at the time of remittance.
4. Conditions of Payment.
(1.) No Debt Incurred. Institutions aided by the
Board may not create debt of any kind without pre\nous con-
currence in writing by the Board.
(2.) Expenses Within Income. Institutions aided by
the Board must keep current expenses within income, permit-
ting no unsettled claims of teachers or of others.
(3.) Bible Study. Systematic study of the Bible shall
form an integral part of the prescribed course of study.
(4.) Solicitation OF Funds. Institutions aided by the
Board must observe carefully the Rule on pages 15-16.
(5.) Insurance. No appropriation voted bj' the Board
is payable to any institution which shall not at the time of such
payment have furnished to the Secretary evidence that the
property is adequately insured. The amount of insurance
.should cover about 60 per centum of the estimated value of
stone or brick buildings and about 70 per centum of the esti-
mated value of wooden buildings.
1898] GENERAL INFORMATION. 17
5. First Half-Payment.
(1.) Time. It will be made, if the Board's treasury per-
mit, in January and February.
(2. ) Condition. The December Certificate Blank, sent out
by the Secretary, December 10, must be returned filled out in
form, approved in session of the board of trustees or of the
executive committee of the institution, before the payment will
made.
6. Second Half-Payment.
(1.) Time. It will be made as soon after the receipt of
satisfactory June Certificates and Property Statements (men-
tioned below) as the Board's treasury will permit; usually at
once, and probably in June.
(2.) Conditions.
The Spring Report Blank, sent out by the Secretary, March
20, must be in the Secretary's hands, filled out in form, by
April 7. Delayed Spring Reports will be telegraphed for at
the expense of the institution.
The June Certificate Blank, sent out by the Secretary May
1, must be returned filled out in form, approved at the annual
meeting of the board of trustees of the institution; and it must
show that, with the exception of such outstanding bills as the
Board's final payment will be sufficient to meet, all bills of the
year have actually been paid, and accompanied with the trus-
tees' pledge that the remaining bills shall be paid as soon as
the expected remittance from the Board shall be received.
The Property Statement Blank, sent out by the Secretary
May 1, must be returned filled out in form, approved at the
annual meeting of the board of trustees.
Such Other Reports as the Board may require must be made.
APPROPRIATIONS FROM THE PROPERTY FUND.
1. Object. Appropriations from the property fund are
made only to aid in extinguishing debton property, in com-
pleting enlargement or erection of buildings, and in securing
endowment.
2. Amount. Only under exceptional circumstances should
an institution ask of the Board more than one-fifth of the entire
18 COI^LEGES AND ACADEMIES. [1898
amount needed, in no case more than one-third. But the Board
will gladly aid in securing a larger proportion, or the entire
amount needed, for any especially deserving institution, should
some individual donor propose to bestow it.
3. Conditions of Payment.
(1.) Completing THE Effort. The appropriation will
be paid when it secures the complete extinguishment of indebt-
edness, or makes the final payment on the completed building,
or completes the amount of endowment contemplated.
(2. ) Solicitation of Funds. Such solicitation of funds
as is discouraged by the rule (pages 15-16), will forfeit the
appropriation.
(3.) Mortgage. Payment of the appropriation will not
be made until a mortgage covering the property of the institu-
tion, for the total amount of the appropriation, shall have been
executed and placed in the Board's possession.
(4.) Property Title. The property to be covered by
mortgage to the Board must not be subject (by the terms of the
deeds conveying it to the trustees of the institution, or other-
wise) to any conditions, reservations or restrictions which
would in any way prevent or interfere with the acquiring of a
good title to the property by foreclosure of the mortgage to
be given to the Board.
4. Necessary Steps.
(1.) Papers Required. The Board must have
A certified copy of the charter or articles of incor-
poration of the institution.
A certified copy of the by-laws.
A legal description of the property to be covered
by the mortgage.
(2. ) Time. As the preparation, execution and approval
of the papers require time, the institution should notify the
Board that it will be ready for the payment, and should for-
ward the papers named above, three months before payment
is expected to be made.
(3. ) Other Papers. The mortgage and other necessary
papers will be prepared by the Board and transmitted to the
board of trustees of the institution for execution. Such papers
1898] GENERAL INFORMATION, 19
sent by the Board must be executed by special vote of the board
of trustees at a meeting regularly called, and a quorum being
present; and a certificate to this effect will be required. Mort-
gages must be recorded.
(4.) Exactness. Delay will be avoided if trustees of
institutions follow explicitly the directions which will accom-
pany the papers prepared and transmitted to them by the Board.
The Board will require entire exactness.
5. Special Conditions. Such special conditions as the
Board may make in each case will be notified to the trustees
of the institution, and compliance with them will be required
by the Board.
20 COI<I,BGBS AND ACADBMIBS. [1898
Plan for the Classification of
Presbyterian Edncational Institutions.
This plan was approved as to " the purpose and main
features," and was recommitted to the Board with instruc-
tions, by the General Assembly of 1896, ("Minutes," 1896,
page 57), and was approved by the General Assembly of 1897.
A. REASONS FOR IT.
1. The College Board should report for and to the
Church the work of Presbyterian educational institutions:,
names of institutions sometimes express ambition rather than
attainment. Institutions will be classified in the Annual Re-
port of the College Board according to the subjoined "c.
Standard Requirements for Academies" and " d. Standard
Requirements for Colleges."
2. The College Board should also set before institutions
the generally accepted, high grade course of study which
they should endeavor to follow. This will be found in the
tabulated "Courses of Study Recommended for Academies"
(c. 5) and " E. Recommendations."
B. WORKING OF THE PLAN.
1. Institutions will receive blanks, upon which reports
of work done will be made to the College Board, and will be
classified by these reports.
2. Lists of institutions thus classified will be published
in the Annual Report.
C. STANDARD REQUIREMENTS FOR ACADEMIES.
1. Students entering upon academic courses must be
familiar with Arithmetic, Geography, Elementary Grammar,
and United States History.
1898] CLASSIFICATION OF INSTITUTIONS. 21
2. The Academic Three Years Course, which is designed
to prepare for many colleges, includes at least 45 units; and
the Four Years Course, which is designed to prepare for
any college, includes at least 60 units.
3. The Unit is one recitation per week for one year; two
per week give 2 units; five per week for one-half year, 2^
units; or for two of three terms, S}4 units, etc.
4. The Minimum of fifteen recitations per week is based
upon a recitation period of not less than 45 minutes. Should
the recitation period be less than 45 minutes, a proportionate
Increase of the number of units would be required. A school
whose recitation period is less than 30 minutes cannot be
classified as an Academy.
5. The units offered, and required for graduation, must in
every case be at least the following :

6. Courses of studies recommended for Academies. The
following table furnishes a list of studies from which the cur-
riculum should be principally made up, at least 45 units being
selected from it, in the proportions indicated in the previous
paragraph 5, for three-year courses, and at least 60 units for
four-year courses.

D. STANDARD REQUIREMENTS FOR COLLEGES.
1. Requirements for Entrance.
Institutions granting the degrees of A. B., B. S., Ph. B.,
or lyitt. B. must require for admission at least the preparation
described in the Three Years Course of the Standard Require-
ments for Academies; except that no Bible study need be re-
quired of those prepared for college in other institutions.
2. Requirements in the College Courses.
1. Institutions granting the degrees of A. B., B. S.,
Ph. B., or L,itt. B. must require at least 60 vinits, the equiva-
1898] CLASSIFICATION OF INSTITUTIONS. 23
lent of a course pursued through four years of 30 weeks per
year and 15 recitations per week.
2. The recitation period must not be less than 45 minutes.
In laboratory practice two hours shall be the minimum equiv-
alent of one recitation period,
3. Four units must be required in systematic Bible study,
including, if desired, one unit in Christian Evidences.
4. Technical work in Music and Art, and in Professional
work not offered in the curriculum, shall have no credit.
5. The remaining units shall be so distributed among the
required and elective courses leading to the several degrees
as to offer the equivalent of the same course in standard
colleges.
E. RECOMMENDATIONS.
Institutions will note the following recommendations; al-
though, for the present, these points will not be taken into ac-
count in the classifying of institutions:
1. For pedagogical reasons (the increased value of consec-
utive work over intermittent) it is recommended that in Bible
Study, instead of offering one recitation period each week
through the course, the subject be so assigned as to require
two or more periods per week for a portion of the year.
2. The Board will favor institutions that promote classical
study.
3. The necessity of training students to read L,atin and
Greek at sight, and to do independent work in mathematics,
is now generally recognized; and such training is recom-
mended.
4. Ivaboratory methods of study are recommended in every
case where circumstances will permit.
5. Every Academy should as soon as possible adopt a
four years course of preparation for college.

ACTION OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY.
At Winona, Indiana, 24 May, 1898.
the following report was unanimously adopted:
Fifteen Years' Work — The Board of Aid for Colleges
and Academies is the youngest child of our sisterhood of
co-operative service. While our Home Mission Board will
soon celebrate its centennial, and our Foreign Board is passing
on to its three score and ten, this agency of the Church has
only just completed a decade and a half of service. Consid-
ering its years and its opportunities, it has done much. Dur-
ing this period almost a million and a half dollars have
passed through its hands for the upbuilding of Christian ed-
ucation. It has occupied nearly one-half our states and ter-
ritories, it has aided almost three score institutions, it
has controlled for the Church property of educational agen-
cies amounting to a million dollars, and it has afforded edu-
cational advantages to an aggregate enrollment of nearly
fifty thousand students.
One Years' Trial and Triumph. — It is extremely gratify-
ing to be able to report that the past year, in spite of its
great trial to this Board, has been one of advance, in fact its
most prosperous year. During the past twelve months it
has aided 28 institutions containing an increased number of
students, aggregating nearly 3,000. It has been aided by 190
more churches than during the previous year, and by 41
more church organizations. The great cloud which settled
down upon the character of one who has been fittingly
styled "The Board's Nursing Mother," has not settled upon
the Board or its work. Your Committee knows that it is
only voicing the positive conviction of all who have exam-
ined into the situation when it says that the embezzlement
of Mr. Charnley, with its peculiarly distressing character, is
no cause whatever for lack of confidence in the Board. Your
Committee would congratulate the Board and the Church
1898] GBNERAL ASSEMBLY. 59
that this has been already said in the most thorough-going,
effective and unquestionable manner by churches and indi-
viduals in the magnificent way in which these have rallied to
the support of the Board with their hearty and large gifts.
It has been demonstrated, we believe, during the past year,
that the value placed by churches and individual givers upon
the work of the Board is not only greater, but has become
greater because of its very loss and peril. The increased
number of givers and the increased total of gifts, the fact
that the Board has done its work, kept its pledges, without
using any of its ordinary income, has practically replaced its
embezzled funds, and closed the year without a deficit, —
these things in themselves are endorsement enough. Why
should your Commiftee add words?
Surprising Expenses. — The Church has a right to expect
and find economical business administration in the conduct
of her affairs. Your Committee have been surprised at the
showing of your Board in this regard. It goes without say-
ing that no single year can be taken as a basis of compari-
son without emphasizing the fact that unexpected expenses
may arise and peculiar difficulties present themselves in the
administration of any Board, but when it is discovered that
the salaries of your Board of Aid during the past year were
but 4 % of total income, only one other Board coming very
slightly below this, while its total expenses were but 6 % of
total income, only one Board standing with it on this
economical level, while the year has been for it one of pecu-
liar trial and expense, we feel confident that the Board of
Aid should be marked with the words, "Close economy."
We desire to add that its methods of business statement, as
disclosed in reports of secretary-treasurer, and the records of
its proceedings, are clear, concise, satisfactory, economical
of time, yet not lacking in information.
Why the Church Requires the Board Your Committee
desire to call especial attention to the evident reasons why
the Church requires the service of its Board of Aid, as these
are disclosed in what it is actually doing. It were unneces-

sary to dwell upon the relation of the cause of education to
the progress of any Church, not to mention the peculiar his-
tory of the Presbyterian Church in this regard. This Church
has always laid hold of the upbuilding forces of education in
the progress of her history. To-day as truly as in the past
she needs an educated ministry, and an educated laity. She
believes in thinking, in being able judiciously, fairly and
truly to weigh thought as thought in all departments of life,
and not least in church activity and church procedure. It is
in connection with the fostering of this educational advance
in a Christian atmosphere that the peculiar wisdom of this
Board in its workings is disclosed. The Board is a check
upon mere promiscuous solicitation of benevolence on the
part of merely enthusiastic sentiment. It is an agent of or-
ganized educational charity. The Board gives expression to
the prudence and good judgment of the Church in avoiding
unwise location of educational agencies so apt to be the out-
come of local pride or provincial measurements of magni-
tude. The Board acts for the Church in laying down the
ethics of comity within the denomination, and among the
denominations. It acts for the Church in endeavoring to
bring into wise relation to each other the benevolence of the
State in the realm of education and that of the private
Christian individual so that together these may pre-empt, in
wise and proper relations to each other, the territory which
belongs in common in our land to Church and State. Your
Board avoids waste and loss of gifts because these may not
be properly guarded. The insurance policy and the mort-
gage become Christian business securities for the perpetu-
ity of educational forces. Your Board not only teaches to
avoid debt, that destroyer of religious harmony, and that
enemy of all success, but it compels its avoidance. Your
Board sets itself against low grade culture and the decora-
tion of ignorance with conceit. Your Board stimulates to
local effort for the best things in the community where local
effort is wise; it stimulates along lines of economical pru-
dence and self-denying common sense the increase of ed-
ucational benevolence. This is the faith of your Board not
1898] GENERAL ASSEMBLY. 61
only stated in its resolutions and requirements, but seen in
its works.
It is but fitting to call attention to the loss with which
this Board has met during the past year in the death of
Homer N. Hibbard, LL. D., from the first of its life an ac-
tive, wise and sympathetic promoter of its endeavors after
good things for education and the Church.
In conclusion your Committee present the following
recommendations for your action:
1. Enforcing Regulations.— We recommend that this
Assembly endorse the Board of Aid for its faithful enforce-
ment of its judicious regulations regarding colleges and
academies under its care touching economy, financial secur-
ity, comity, efficiency and high standards of work, and en-
join upon it to continue to enforce these with impartial good
judgment.
2. Plan for Classification.— We recommend that the
Board of Aid put into working order at the earliest feasible
moment, its admirable plan for classification of the institu-
tions under its care.
3. Education Day. — We recommend that the Assembly
urge upon the churches a continued and increased observ-
ance of Education Day as calculated to bring about large
results peculiarly suited to the genius of the Presbyterian
Church.
4. $150,000. — Following the custom of standing com-
mittees of preceding years, we recommend that the General
Assembly advise the raising of gl 50,000 during the current
year in gifts from its churches, as separate from the con-
tributions of private benevolence, and that to this end a
largely increased number of churches make a stated offering
to this cause.
5. The Records Approved. We recommend that the
Assembly approve the Records of the Board of Aid since
the last Assembly as examined by this Committee.
62 COLLEGES AND ACADEMIES. [1898
6. Membership. — We recommend that the Assembly
accept the resignation of S. J. Nicolls, D. D., from the mem-
bership of the Board of Aid, said resignation being neces-
sary because of the rule prohibiting service upon two Boards
of the Church, Dr. Nicolls' duty being plainly indicated as
service on the Home Mission Board.
7. We recommend that the Assembly elect to member-
ship on the Board of College Aid the following ministers:
Herrick Johnson, D. D., LL. D., Wm. O. Ruston, D. D.,
W. P. Kane, D. D., and John L. Withrow, D. D., LL. D., to
succeed themselves for three years. In place of S. J.
Nicolls, D. D., we recommend Francis L. Ferguson, D. D.,
for two years. As lay members we recommend W. H. Swift,
Esq., to succeed himself, and Hon. Henry V. Freeman, L.
W. Yaggy, and Lafayette McWilliams for three years, Alex-
ander McDonald for two years, and James S. Hubbard for
one year.

REPORT OF THE SPECIAL COMMITTEE
ON
SYSTEMATIC BENEFICENCE
APPOINTED BY THE
GENERAL ASSEMBLY
OF
THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
1898.
General Assembly's Special Committee on Systematic Beneficence
respectfully presents herewith its Nineteenth Annual Report.
Your committee would call the attention of the General Assembly,
to the actual condition of our missionary and benevolent work as indi-
cated by the gifts to our various Boards during the past ten years.
This can best be done by a series of tables of statistics such as here
follows :
Table I shows the gifts from the churches to the Boards as com-
pared with the amounts received by them from other sources of income
(such as Sunday-schools, young people's societies, women's missionary
societies, legacies, and the gifts of individuals) ; and as compared
with the total aggregate of income. This table indicates that at pres-
ent thirty-nine per cent, of the income for sustaining the missionary
and benevolent work of our Church is the result of Sabbath offerings
in the churches.

Gifts to the Boards.
We have gathered together in an appendix subjoined to this report,
a detailed statement of the average gifts to the Boards through church
offerings tabulated by Presbyteries for the six years from '91 to '96 ;
also the statement of the gifts to the Boards for the years 1897 and
1898. A study of this table will show that the gifts of the church

through Sabbath offerings are not keeping pace with the growth of
the church. It also will indicate that the weakest point today in our
whole benevolent system, is precisely the neglect of system in obtain-
ing benevolent gifts in connection with Sabbath worship.
Contributing and Non Contributing Churches.
That the present plans for raising money for the missionary and
benevolent work of the Presbyterian Church do not commend them-
selves to all of our pastors and church sessions, is clearly evident from
an examination of the statement of the number of contributing and
non-contributing churches, as indicated by tables VI, VII and VIII*

REPORT OF SPECIAL COMMITTEE
Contributions to the Boards by Months.
The number of churches which do not contribute regularly to all
the Boards of the Church is alarmingly large and indicates that there
is a lack of system throughout the Church as to its plans and methods
for obtaining the offerings of the people for the missionary and benevo-
lent work of the Church. An examination of the time even when the
offerings are received by the Boards of the Church indicate the same
unsystematic condition of things. The standing recommendation of
General Assembly as to annual contributions is as follows :
" For the churches that have not yet adopted the scheme of weekly
offerings, set forth in the Directory for Worship, Chap. VI, it is recom-
mended that the first Lord's Days of the following months be set
apart for contributions to the Boards :
I
Foreign Missions,
January.

Aid for Colleges,

,S

May.
4
Church Erection,
luly.
S
Ministerial Relief,
September
6
Education,
October.
7
Freedmen,
December.
8
Home Missions,
Whenever deemed advisable.
When we compare this recommendation with the actual time that
the various Boards receive ihe offerings from the churches, we find
that in nearly every case the Boards receive larger offerings some
other month than the one especially indicated as the special month
for the Board. And it will also usually be found that the most popu-
lar month to send offerings to the Boards is the last month of the
ecclesiastical year. The following table of offerings to the Boards of
the Church by months would indicate the irregular and unsystematic
character of the giving of the churches.

Detailed Examination of the Gifts Through Church
Offerings.
Your committee has made a detailed examination of the gifts through
church offerings to the eight Boards of the Church for the year
'96-'97. The full report of all the Boards of the Church for the cur-
rent year will not probably be in the hands of your committee until
the beginning of the month of July. A detailed examination, how-
ever, of the year previous will serve the purpose of showing the custom
of the churches in reference to their support or lack of support of our
missionary and benevolent work.

12 REPORT OF SPECIAL COMMITTEE
Allowances must be made, of course, for offerings which reached the
Boards after the closing of the books for the year, but it is probable
that a like number, or very nearly, reached the Boards at the begin-
ning of the year which were intended to be included in the year
previous.
Further allowance must be made for churches which have practi-
cally turned over the work of collecting funds for home and foreign
missions to the women's missionary societies ; also for churches that
take their offering for Sabbath school work, in connection with their
own Sabbath school on Children's Sunday, the offering going through
the Sabbath school treasury.
Further allowance must be made for churches which have omitted
to take offerings for certain Boards because of large contributions
going from the church membership directly to the Boards without
passing through the church treasury.
But after all allowances have been made, it nevertheless remains
true that an average of only four collections each year are taken by
our churches, instead of eight. Averages are, however, misleading in
that they cover up the fact of the number of churches that do nothing.
The same difficulty occurs in all averages of contributions per mem-
ber from the local church, in that the large gifts of the ten in any
church are divided up among the hundreds of the membership who do
little or nothing.
During the year under review 1,392 churches sent no offerings to
any of the Boards ; 1,098 made one offering during the year ; 626
churches two offerings ; 4S5 three ; 475 four ; 541 five ; 663 six ; 903
seven ; 1,064 eight.
The fact that 3,272 offerings reported by the Boards as church offer-
ings were for one dollar or less, and that nine-tenths of all the offer-
ings made by churches making only one offering were for ten dollars
or less, indicate that in many cases the taking of the offering was
characterized by lack of method and enthusiasm.

1064 Churches Report a Church Offering to all the Boards.
1,064 churches with a membership of 253,063 contributed to all the
Boards of the Church. For convenience of comparison we have
divided this group of churches into three smaller groups tabulated in
the first three columns of the following table. The remaining col-
umns give, first, the statistics for the 1,064 churches as a group, then
for the other main group 6,567 churches, and finally for the entire
church.

14 REPORT OF SPECIAL COMMITTEE
Over one-half of the income from church offerings came from the
1,064 churches, that contributed to the eight Boards of the Church.
In many of our churches which are represented as contributing to
all the Boards of the Church there is a very large portion of the
membership who practically do nothing and the reputation of the
church for liberality to the Boards is sustained by the gifts of the few.
Rev. Milton Merle Smith, D. D., pastor of the Central Presbyterian
Church of New York, in The Evangelist sdL-^'s, :
" The following statistics were recently gathered regarding an offer-
ing made by a strong and wealthy church, in the latitude of New
York, for Home Missions. There were 683 present, and the amount
contributed was $1,800. There was one gift of $200, two gifts of
$150, two gifts of $125, five gifts of $roo. The significant fact in
this array of figures is that $1,250 of the $1,800 was given by ten peo-
ple ; 196 gave nothing at all ; 156 gave under ten cents; 119 gave ten
to twenty-five cents ; 471 gave $39.52, an average of eight cents to a
giver."
It is a safe estimate that the total membership of a church will be
one-third larger than the number of people present at any one service,
and taking it for granted that this church taking a Sabbath offering of
$1,800 with 683 persons present, will be the average liberality of the
1,064 churches that contributed to the eight Boards of the Church, we
get the following results as the contributions of the 253,063 members
which contributed to all the Boards during the year under review,
$414,660, an average of 85,300 were absent from the service when the
offerings were taken ; 48,766 were present and gave nothing ; 38,802
gave less than ten cents ; 30,368 gave between ten and twenty-five
cents ; 50.773 gave $118,354 and 2,460 gave $301,465.
For members of the Presbyterian Church in comfortable circum-
stances to respond with five cent offerings to the annual earnest
appeal for the cause of Plome Mission.s, has a deadening effect upon
the spiritual life of the individuals so contributing.
How Many of the 1064 Churches Took Separate Offerings
FOR the Eight Boards.
618 churches report the same offering for several Boards, which indi-
cates a sum divided among the several Boards rather than a special,
definite, annual offering for each of the Boards.
ON SYSTEMATIC BENEFICENCE. I 5
145 churches report offerings of even dollars to several of the Boards,
which indicates that these sums were not obtained by regular, special
offerings for these Boards.
Accordingly 763 churches of the 1,064 credited with eight offerings
to the eight Boards, indicate by the amounts given, that the money was
not raised by separate offerings.
75 churches contributed in even dollars from one to twenty five
dollars to some one Board. In many cases the difference between the
smallest offering and the largest was several hundred dollars, which
would seem to indicate that the small amount was sent to the Board by
pastor or church session, rather than to have a blank reported.
As to the remaining 200 and more churches, your committee could not
determine whether the contributions reported were the result of an
separate offering taken for each of the Boards, or the result of a division
of funds taken for all the Boards. Wherever there was the slightest
doubt in reference to the matter the following letter was sent :
Dear Brother :
•'In making a detailed examination of the gifts of our Churches to the
various Boards through Cliurch offerings we find that the Church of which
you are Pastor gave to all the Boards of the Church through Church offerings.
It will greatly aid us in our work if you will briefly inform us by what
method you secured this result. Was it by taking an annual offering for
each of the Boards in their turn, or by some other means ?
It will greatly aid in preparing our report to General Assembly if you
could kindly give an answer by return mail."
Your committee received prompt replies from nearly every pastor
to whom the letter was addressed. Reports indicate that the prevail-
ing system among the churches was the use of the envelope system
with frequent offerings for all the Boards of the Church and division
of the money collected by the session. That many more churches use
the annual offering for the Boards by the ordinary plate system there
is no question, but many of these churches neglected to take even the
plate collection for some one or more of the Boards, and therefore a
consideration of their offerings do not come under special review in
this connection, but simply the churches that succeeded in sending
through church offerings a contribution to each of the eight Boards.
Only about seventy-five of them gave by the anonymous plate collec-
tion system. It is the judgment of your committee that a system that
from seven thousand and more churches can only succeed in getting
eight offerings for the Boards of the Church from seventy-five churches
during the year, might be abandoned and the church unite on the
subscription blank and envelope system, with frequent offerings for
l6 REPORT OF SPECIAL COMMITTEE
all the Boards together and the sum divided on some approved
ratio and the money sent at frequent intervals.
A Study of the Tables Indicate.
1. That less than one-half the number of church offerings are
reported that should be taken if the recommendations of General
Assembly were carried out.
2. That only one-sixth of the total number of church offerings that
should be taken for the Boards of the church are for sums of more
than ten dollars.
That two-thirds of all the church offerings which are reported
for our eight Boards are for ten dollars or less.
4. That 1064 churches report church offerings to each of the eight
Boards.
5. That over one-half of the offerings of these churches were for
ten dollars or less, as appears by the following table :

*Forty-flve churches of Indiana and lUiaois which coQtribut^ed to ttie other seven Boards made no
report to the Home Board.
6. That most of the churches that are reported as making a church
offering to each of the Boards, secured this result by taking general
offerings for missions and dividing the aggregate among the Boards of
the Church.
7. That not more than seventy-five churches take distinct annual
offerings for each of the eight Boards.
8. That nearly a third of the gifts to the eight Boards through
church offerings is received during the month of March.
Your committee are convinced that the annual anonymous plate col-
lections for obtaining money to carry on the missionary and benevolent
work of the Presbyterian church does not have a tendency to develop
a liberal and missionary church. That it encourges the membership
of the church to offer unto the Lord the halt, the lame and blind, to
make the well-to-do content with the widow's mite offering. It does
have the tendency to foster the spirit of giving unto God that which
costs us nothing.
on systematic beneficence. i7
Shai,i, the Number ok Boards be Lessened.
Your committee are convinced that if the number of Boards
could be lessened it would be in the interest of more liberal giving on
the part of the membership of our churches.
By the recommended ratios of contributions to the several Boards
which the General Assembly has adopted, the church has already prac-
tically recognized the fact that the aggregate work of the six smaller
Boards is about equivalent in magnitude and importance to the work
of either of the two remaining larger Boards. The practice, there-
fore, of taking up distinct annual collections for all of the eight
Boards, has a tendency to reduce all the collections to the level of the
six smaller collections. If the system of distinct annual offerings is
to be continued, it would seem to be wise to so combine the Boards
that when the annual missionary offerings are taken, they shall all be
for causes of equal importance.
Your committee have therefore considered at two meetings the
(juestion whether or not the number of Boards could not be lessened
without injury to the causes represented by these Boards, and in
order to bring this matter before the attention of the General
Assembly, voted :
"In view of the fact that the various agencies now in existence for
the collection of funds, and the carrying out of the work of the
church, have not distinct and well defined fields and duties, so that
different agencies are doing the same work and entering into rivalry
one with another, to the lessening of the efficiency of the church and
the increasing beyond a proper proportion the cost of administration,
and proving by experience detrimental to the success of all systematic
beneficence on the part of the whole church, it is recommended that
the Assembly consider the advisability at this time of reducing the
number of boards, and so combining and co-ordinating the boards as
to remove all causes of weakness and loss of efficiency. Such changes
must conserve the integrity and nature of all trusts and legacies held
by any boards, and the work now done by these agencies must be
done under the agencies with which they have been merged."
Weeklv Offering as Act of Worship.
Your committee are convinced that many of the serious problems
with which we are confronted in raising funds necessary to carry on
our missionary work would be solved by the more general adoption
l8 REPORT OF SPECIAL COMMITTEE
of the envelope system in taking the offerings for the Boards, in the
spirit of the sixth article of the Directory of Worship. If it is deemed
wise therefore by the Assembly to give up the taking of what is known
as distinctive annual offerings for each of the eight Boards, and
place emphasis on giving as an act of worship for the entire congre-
gation, then it will be necessary that certain adjustments should be
made, in order to carry out more effectively the provisions of the
Directory of Worship.
" In order that every member of the congregation may be trained
to give of his substance systematically, and as the Lord hath pros-
pered him, to promote the preaching of the Gospel in all the world
and to every creature, according to the command of the Lord Jesus
Christ, it is proper and very desirable that an opportunity may be
given for offerings by the congregation in this behalf every Lord's Day,
and that, in accordance with the Scriptures the bringing of such offer-
ings be performed as a solemn act of worship to the Almighty God."
" The offerings may be apportioned among the Boards of the Church
and among other benevolent and Christian objects, under the super-
vision of the Church session, in such proportion and upon such gen-
eral plan as may from time to time be determined ; but specific desig-
nation by the giver of an offering to any given cause or causes, shall
always be respected, and the will of the donor carefully carried out."
Your committee are convinced that by the action taken by General
Assembly in the year 1877 in adopting the report of the Committee
on Home Missions a plan was recommended which, if carried out,
would greatly aid in making systematic and proportionate giving as
an act of worship more universal in the Presbyterian Church and in
magnifying the unity and importance of the local church :
" Your committee would emphasize the importance of every organiz-
ation for benevolent work in every church being tributary to and in
harmony with the work of the Session of the church and finding its
connection with the Board, not in some outside auxiliary, but in the
scriptural and sufficient links which inhere in the system of our
church — the Session, the Presbytery, the Synod and the General
Assembly." — General Assembly Minutes, iSj"/, p. §12.
Your committee, after careful consideration of this whole question,
would respectfully ask, " That the General Assembly recommend to
the churches under its care, that all their beneficent gifts however
gathered, should pass through the hands of the treasurer of the
session or other treasurer regularly appointed for such purpose, and
ON SYSTEMATIC RENEFICENCE. I9
that the Committee on Systematic Beneficence be authorized to send
a circular letter to the pastors of the churches urging them to earnest
effort in securing the co-operation of all their agencies in their
churches in the adoption of this plan."
SUGGESTKD PlAN FOR PROMPT REPORTS.
We desire to suggest a plan by which it is believed your committee
can CO operate effectively toward securing the end so long held in
view, of a contribution every year from every church for every Board.
At present, as will be seen by one of the foregoing tables, out of
61,000 contributions that should be reported from the 7,631 churches,
only 28,000 such church offerings are reported, an average of only
four offerings, instead of eight per church.
We therefore suggest that your committee shall be authorized to
collect, month by month, from the several Boards of the Church, a
detailed statement on blanks provided for the purpose by your com-
mittee, of the church offerings received during the preceding month
by such Boards or benevolent agencies. These monthly statements
from each Board to be collected by the fifth of each month and by your
committee to be then collated so as to show for the different Synods
and Presbyteries all the church offerings for the different Boards
made during the preceding month, to be furnished to the respective
Synodical Committees on Systematic Beneficence on or before the
tenth of each month, and by them in turn to be furnished to the cor-
responding committees of the Presbyteries within their bounds.
The work of the Systematic Beneficence Committee is now thor-
oughly organized with efficient Synodical and Presbyterial committees
throughout the church, ready to co operate in any new plan which
General Assembly may authorize for developing the systematic and
proportionate beneficence more widely among the churches. Your
committee believe that the systematic and prompt collection and dis-
tribution month by month of information as to what churches within
the bounds of the different Synods and Presbyteries are doing in the
way of benevolence will be a powerful aid in stimulating regularity
and liberality in giving on the part of the churches.
Summer Offerings.
We are convinced that the present failure of our churches to give
more than half the whole number of offerings expected during the
iO REPORT OF SPECIAL COMMITTEE
year, is due not so much to indifference to these benevolent causes on
the part of pastors and sessions and people, as it is to the unfortunate
tendency so widely prevalent to put off the taking collections to some
more convenient season. The close of the year approaches, and
pastor and church find it then too late to repair the omissions of the
year, and in this way is explained the massing of contributions to the
Boards in the month of March, and the- rendering of apologies on the
part of some, in the form of nominal contributions to the Boards that
have been neglected. In the case of nearly 30,000 offerings that
should be made, even this poor apology for non-contribution is not
made. The plan of securing systematic detailed and prompt informa-
tion, month by month, as to the gifts of the churches, and communi
eating the same to the Synods and Presbyteries, will, we believe, be
largely effective in improving the present condition of the benevolences
of our churches.
Inasmuch as the early months of the church year, (June, July
August and September) are the months m which the Boards usually
report the smallest receipts, while their expenses go on undiminished,
your committee would once more and finally recommend that the
churches which during the past year have made no contribution to the
Boards shall be requested and urged to make their contributions to
those Boards at once, thus doing something to relieve the monetary
stringency of the Boards caused in part by their neglect of these
causes during the past year. Adopting a figure from the strategies of
war, it would seem that a time of emergency in the benevolent cam-
paign of the church is a peculiarly fitting time for calling into service
Its reserve benevolent forces, which may now fairly be supposed to be
ready for action.
Subscription Blanks and Envelopes.
Your committee would respectfully ask of General Assembly to
authorize your Special Committee on Systematic Beneficence to con-
tinue to issue subscription blanks and envelopes for the taking of offer
ings in accordance with the spirit of the sixth aiticle of the Direc-
tory of Worship. That these envelopes be furnished free to all
churches and congregations that will use them, the expense being
borne //-<? rata according to the amounts received through church
offerings by the Boards of the Church.
We would recommend that the wording of the subscription blank to
be used during the current year should be as follows :
ON SYSTEMATIC BENEFICENCE. 2t
Sui$scRii>TiON Blank.
During the ecclesiastical year ending April i, 1899, I will give at
least the amount of to the missionary and benevolent work
of the Presbyterian Church, and will place the same in the envelopes
provided for that purpose, all the offerings of this church, when not
specially designated, to be divided by the session among the causes
represented by the Assembly's Boards, according to the pro rata plan
recommended by the General Assembly.

Notice.
1. This pledge is not meant to limit the amount of your gifts.
2. This pledge is meant to cover all your gifts to benevolence,
through every agency in the church, including the regular church col
lections, the Women's Societies, the Sabbath Schools and the Young
People's Societies. You will have opportunity to designate the channel
through which your gifts reach the Treasurer by indicating the same
on the envelopes provided.
Other Work of the Committee.
Your committee has faithfully performed all the work committed to
it by last General Assembly.
I. In regard to the Redstone Presbytery Plan. In the report of
the Standing Committee on Systematic Beneficence to last General
Assembly is the following reference to what is known as the " Redstone
Presbytery Plan:" "Which in substance is the securing of pledges
beforehand from all the members of our churches and congregations,
as to the amounts which they are willing to contribute to each of the
Boards during the ecclesiastical year. Two cards are to be distributed
about the ist of March, each year, upon which a column for each
Board is provided. These cards when filled by the donors shall be
returned, the one to the pastor, and the other to the session of the
church, and by the session sent to the Presbytery, and by the Presby-
tery transmitted to the Committee on Systematic Beneficence, for
tabulation and presentation to the General Assembly as the pledge of
the Presbyteries and churches for our benevolent work.
i2 REPORT OF SPECIAL COMMITTEE
Your committee has as carefully as possible, under the circumstances,
considered this plan, and believes it to have some desirable and prac-
tical features, and has concluded to recommend to the General Assem-
bly the submission of this plan to the Committee on Systematic
Beneficence, to be put into operation by them as far as they regard it
desirable and practical."
Your committee would report that quite a number of Presby-
teries have considered the Redstone Presbytery Plan. Some have
found difficulties in carrying out its provisions within their bounds,
while others have voted to give it a fair trial, and have sent to your
committee for subscription blanks to be used in canvassing the churches
for pledges for the current year. All these requests for subscription
blanks and pledges have been promptly supplied, but your committee
have not as yet received any reports from the Presbyteries as to the
amounts pledged to the Boards for the current year, and are unable,
therefore, to make any tabulated presentation of what our Boards may
expect from the Presbyteries for the coming year.
2. In reference to popular meetings in behalf of Systematic Benefi-
cence, your committee duly held correspondence with the chairmen
of committees of all Synods and Presbyteries looking to the holding
of such popular meetings last fall. Most gratifying responses were
received of promises of hearty co-operation in carrying out the plan
recommended, many synods and Presbyteries holding such meetings,
and in very many cases the theme of the moderator's sermon at the
opening of the fall meeting of the Presbytery was on the subject of
Systematic Beneficence.
3. In reference to subscription blanks and envelopes, your commit-
tee have furnished them free of expense, to all presbyteries applying
for them for the purpose of securing large gifts for the work of the
Church. About 80,000 subscription blanks and 100,000 envelopes
have been sent out on request during the year.
4. In regard to leaflets. We have furnished a large number of
leaflets for general distribution, viz; the address of Hon. Ralph E. Prime,
on " Christian Benevolence," delivered before the Pan-Presbyterian
Council at Glasgow; the English tract entitled "The Gift Bag,"
emphasizing the importance of every Christian setting apart regularly
a fund from which the demands of Christian benevolence may be met ;
the address "Systematic Giving," by Rev. John R. Davies, D. D., and,
"Consecration of Wealth," by Rev. Geo. F. Pentecost, D. D.
on systematic beneficence. 23
Synodical Missions and Susten tation.
^Ve have received a communication from the Executive Committee
of Synodical Missions in the Sjmod of Pennsylvania, asking that
Synodical Missions should have a definite and due recognition in
our work. Three points are specified at which Synodical Missions
and Sustentation might with propriety have recognition.
1. In the matter of ratios. Now one hundred per cent, of the
benevolences of the church are divided among the Assembly's Boards.
This leads to confusion in our churches relative to sustentation offer-
ings and results either in their entire neglect of this important cause
or giving it the meagre gleanings of a special collection. The com-
mittee ask for a definite recognition of and a due place assigned to
the large and growing work of sustentation in ratios approved.
2. In the matter of the assignment of a month to be set apart for
contributions to Synodical Missions. The committee suggest the month
of November as being a convenient and acceptable month to the Synod
of Pennsylvania.
3. In the matter of tabulated reports. In the tabulated reports
made by our committee, that Synodical Missions and Sustentation
should not be omitted.
Your committee would respectfully ask General Assembly, in view
of the growing importance of the work of Synodical Missions and Sus-
tentation, to give direction to your committee in reference to this
whole subject.

The Seventeenth Annual Report
FOR THE YEAR ENDING MAY 1st, 1898.
Presented to the General Assembly at Winona Assennbly Grounds,
Winona Lake, Ind.
Your Committee respectfully submits its Annual Report
together with the minutes of its meetings. Accompanying our
Report will be found that of the Corresponding Secretary of the
Executive Committee of the Presbyterian Woman's Temperance
Association, auxiliary to the Permanent Committee.
THE WORK OF THE YEAR.
When this Committee was first called into existence, the
able and faithful men who constituted its membership devised a
plan of organization of our Church for Temperance work, which
received the cordial approval of the Assembly, and our efforts
have been directed towards its completion. It contemplated the
appointment by every church court of a committee to promote
the cause of temperance within its own bounds, and to act in
conjunction with your Permanent Committee.
But unhappily the full measure of success hoped for has not
been realized because of a missing link in the chain. We have
now for years had, besides this Permanent Committee of the
Assembly, a correspondent committee in almost every Synod
and Presbytery and many of these rendering valuable service ;
but only a small proportion of our local churches are thus
equipped for Temperance effort. We want the Sessional Temper-
ance Committee or some such provision for the prosecution of
this important work in the local field and subject to the local
church court. Without this the conflict with intemperance which
is conducted by the Assembly's, the Synod's and the Presbytery's
Committee, will be a battle at long range and comparatively
ineffective.
We have invoked the influence of the Presbyteries regarding
this matter and a large number have recommended to the Sessions
under their jurisdiction the appointment of such committee.
The number of churches that have thus fallen into line is slowly
increasing. To these committees are being sent supplies of our
literature.
Of the Temperance literature printed and circulated during
the year we herewith submit samples. The aggregate amount is
estimated at 900,000 pages.
In accordance with the recommendation of the General
Assembly our printed matter is furnished without expense to all
applicants who give assurance of its judicious distribution. Had
the necessary funds been supplied a vastly larger amount of
literature could thus have been put in circulation.
The reiterated directions of the General Assembly regarding
the dissemination of Temperance literature has been interpreted
by your Committee, as implying a high estimate of the value of
the press as an engine of war in this conflict with the powers of
darkness. The Presbyterian Board and the American Tract
Society have issued good temperance literature; the publications
of the National Temperance Society, and of the Women's
Christian Temperance Union are varied and valuable, and it is
our endeavor to promote their circulation by directing intending
purchasers to this source of supply. But this Committee is in
hearty accord with the apparent conviction of the Assembly that
if purchasers do not come fast enough the printed truth must
nevertheless be scattered abroad. The exigency is pressing.
The King's business requires haste. The battle cannot be delayed
till volunteers can equip themselves. Thousands are ready to bear
arms in this good cause. Let them be freely furnished from the
public arsenal, and let the stores of the depleted arsenal be
promptly replenished.
Rigid economy has been practiced by the Committee as to
oflice expenses, and we may be permitted to say that the largest
offerings made for the maintenance of this work do not appear
on the books of our Treasurer, being the contributions of time
and labor rendered by the ofificers and members of the Committee
who are by no means men of leisure.
Correspondence, which constitutes a most important part of
the work devolved on us has been steadily growing more
extensive, until now it has become at least six-fold greater than
ten years ago.
In a communication addressed to the Chairmen of Presby
teial Temperance Committees we have asked the attention of the
Presbyteries to a measure pending in Congress known as the
Ellis Bill which aims at the suppression of liquor-selling upon all
government reservations, in the capitol, in immigrant stations,
soldiers' homes, life-saving stations and military posts. The
enactment of such a law would prove of much value to the Tem-
perance cause. We have information from the author of this bill
and from other reliable authority that there is ground to hope
that the bill may be passed at the next session of Congress, if
proper effort be made in the way of petition. Our Corresponding
Secretary is writing, in the name of the Permanent Committee, to
many of the senators and members of the House of Representa-
tives bespeaking their influence and support for this measure, and
in his correspondence suggesting to other friends of the cause
similar effort.
While brave men are now gathering for their country's
defense in war, can we forget how often defeat and destruction
have come upon armies through drink ? If railway trains may
not be intrusted to tippling conductors, engineers or brakemen
are the interests at stake in this war less precious that our govern-
ment should establish or permit canteens and post exchanges for
the supplying of beer and wine to the officers and men of its
army and navy ?
THE TEMPERANCE NARRATIVE
which the General Assembly expects each Presbytery to send
to its Permanent Committee, and which should aid in supplying
data for our report, frequently arrives late, and too often comes
not at all. We have before us however the Temperance reports
made to the Synods, and combining this material with that which
comes from the churches through the Presbyterial Temperance
Committees, we are in possession of some intelligence — albeit
rather meagre in some instances — regarding the Temperance
situation in every State where our church has an existence. The
material for a complete Temperance narrative cannot readily be
secured. Those whose deeds are evil " love darkness rather than
light." It is not at the saloon door alone that the screen is set
up but the whole evil business seeks to screen itself against public
inspection. Conscious honesty, if ever the shadow of suspicion
falls upon it, courts public inspection, which is sure to bring
exoneration. But this traffic, against which lie charges of most
atrocious crimes, resists with the energy of desperation every
proposal of an official investigation.
A narrative sad and grewsome might indeed be gathered
from the daily press and from the records of police courts and
jails, of workhouses and the morgue.
A complete Temperance narrative should describe how the
rum traffic, which is ever working such wretchedness and ruin, has
with diabolical skill arranged and combined its forces for its own
defense against the righteous indignation of outraged humanity,
and the just punishment of its crimes. It should relate how by
its lucrative patronage it subsidizes and quiets the press ; how it
fills with its own creatures city councils and State legislatures ;
how it often corrupts the administration of justice and wields an
influence, all too potent, in the halls of national legislation. As to
the character of this traffic, the testimony of the various depart-
ments of the Church of Christ is in perfect accord with our own,
which pronounces it " an inexcusable curse to our country and
age, and largely responsible for the bulk of the crime, pauperism
and social miseries which afflict our land."
But within the limits of this brief report little can be
attempted beyond securing a glimpse of the attitude maintained
by our churches in the conflict with intemperance, the effort put
forth and the successes or reverses experienced. And as to
results achieved, statements cannot be very definite. Few figures
have been furnished us and on some points precise statement
would be impossible. Regarding the rise or decline of temper-
ance sentiment no scientific tests can measure nor mathematical
expression indicate its fluctuations.
Early in February a brief list of questions was sent out
accompanied by a letter addressed to pastors and Sessions. Seven
thousand copies were mailed. The Committee aims in this way
to aid Presbyterial Temperance Committees in collecting data ;
also to remind the brethren everywhere of this Temperance agency
of our church and to suggest and haply stimulate Temperance
effort in the churches. The following are the questions sent
forth.
I. Have you organized for temperance work by appointment of temper-
ance committee by the session, or in the young peoples' society, or by the
formation of a temperance society in the church or Sabbath school, or among
the women, or in any other way ?
II. Please state what means have been used in your congregation to
foster temperance sentiment and combat the drink evil — as sermons and
addresses, Sabbath school lessons, the pledge, temperance tracts or papers,
temperance books in library, contribution of funds, petitions driving out saloons
or keeping them out by remonstrances in the courts or votes at the polls, etc.,
etc. ?
III. Do temperance sentiment and the practice of total abstinence,
seem to be on the increase among your people and in your community ?
IV. Is the law requiring scientific temperance instruction in the public
schools being faithfully observed ?
V. Facts and suggestions on other points.
The reports which have been returned to us consist in the
main of answers to these questions, but not exclusively so. The
report for the Presbytery of Lansing gives prominence to the
observance of Temperance Day, and earnestly pleads that the
Assembly emphasize its importance — a suggestion which your
Committee second with great heartiness. Ten of the Synods at
their last meetings reiterated their recommendations on this
subject.
In two or three Presbyterial reports the use of unfermented
wine at the communion table is mentioned, and on this point also
three of the Synods gave utterance. The Synod of Pennsylvania
reaffirms the deliverance of the Assembly that the unfermented
fruit of the vine fulfills every condition in the celebration of the
sacrament, leaving the individual Sessions and churches freedom
of action.
5
It is with gratification that we note that some reports empha-
size the importance of Sabbath School Temperance work. The
admirable adaptation of the Sabbath School for the work of
inculcating the Temperance teachings of God's word upon the
young is manifest, but not less patent is the fact that it comes
sadly short of the desired results.
Most earnestly do we appeal to the great army of Presbyterian
Sunday School teachers, 114,000 strong that they do their utmost
to save our youth from the awful peril of intemperance.
Regarding Orgaiiization for Temperance Work. — But two Pres-
byteries report that all or nearly all Sessions within their bounds
have complied with the Assembly's recommendation by appoint-
ing Sessional Temperance Committees. In about one-fourth of
the reporting Presbyteries no beginning has yet been made. In
many of the others it is but the day of small things.. As com-
pared with last year however there is an encouraging increase in
the number of Sessional Committees and Tempei^ance societies in
church or sabbath school.
One report says " The Session has resolved itself into a
Committee of the Whole relative to the work." Nothing better
than this could be desired. More than one make answer " The
church is a Temperance society." And unquestionably so it is
ideally. But so also is the ideal church a missionary society.
Yet finding herself confronted by Paganism and Mohammedanism
the Church has deemed it wise to gird herself for the conflict by
special missionary organization. And does she encounter a less
formidable foe in intemperance, the aggressive enemy which
invades the home and the community and is to-day indus-
triously sapping and mining that most valuable bulwark of
Christianity — the Sabbath ?
Due acknowledgment is made in these reports of the valuable
service rendered to the cause by the women. The W. C. T. U. is
mentioned by many and in two reports the work of the P. W. T.
A. is commended. It is greatly to their honor that the women of
the Church have responded so promptly to duty's call, yet it must
be manifest to all that to devolve this department of the Lord's
work exclusively on the women must prove detrimental to the
spiritual development of the Church. It is therefore gratifying
to hear of the extensive engagement in this work of Christian
Endeavor Societies and Temperance societies whose membership
includes both men and women.
Regardi?ig Mea7is Used. — In reply to our second inquiry some
report the use of all the means and measures mentioned in the
question. Almost every church has had temperance taught from
the pulpit and in the S. S. In very many the Y. P. societies
have given prominence to the subject. Some have the weekly
prayer-meeting at regular intervals devoted to this object. One
church in New York City maintains a rescue mission which is
kept open every night in the year. Meetings of Church or S. S.
6
Temperance societies with addresses, distribution of literature and
presentation of pledge, illustrated lectures, observance of Temper-
ance Day, funds contributed, petitions and remonstrances, local
option campaign work, enforcement of laws. Anti-saloon League
efforts, votes at the primaries and polls — these and other means
reported by large numbers indicate that there has been much
activity during the past year. While reciting these various
measures and describing the mechanism devised for the further-
ance of this department of the Lord's work some reports mention,
and doubtless all imply the use of prayer to God who alone can
give the desired result. The wheels of elaborate mechanism may
be in place but it is only when "the spirit of life is in the wheels"
that they go. " Not by might nor by power but by my spirit
saith the Lord of hosts."
Some tangible results seem to have crowned the efforts
in behalf of the drunkard — a few brands plucked from the
burning. But we cannot know what uplift of public sentiment
has come from all this agitation and education or what results in
the way of prevention — how many lives have been safe-guarded
through God's blessing on prayerful effort which otherwise might
have been wrecked.
Various Synods and Presbyteries heartily commend the
Anti-saloon League which has rapidly extended its organi-
zation during the year. Though not as yet successful in
any state-wide project, its local victories have been numerous,
and good hope is entertained that by unifying hitherto divided
Temperance elements valuable results in State and National
legislation may ultimately be secured. We bid this omnipartisan
and interdenominational organization a hearty God-speed.
One pastor replies to our question as to means used, etc.
" 1 preach Christ." Some seem to think it enough that they "try
to make men christians." Verily "there is none other name" but
let us preach a whole Christ. " Is Christ divided ?" Is he not a
king as well as priest ? Are there not duties as well as doctrines ?
And is not Christ a savior for society as well as the individual ?
We would seek to make men christians, but also labor to make
them better christians. We would preach the word which
abounds in ethical as well as doctrinal truth.
A century ago christians generally used intoxicants. Minis-
ters, elders and people drank. Drunkenness was rife in the
Church. Even ruling elders who on Sabbath handled the vessels
of the Lord, on Monday stood behind the bar selling whiskey.
Since then a great and happy change has come in the Church.
But it did not come without specific Temperance effort. And
now brethren we " have not yet attained neither are already
perfect." Church membership, alas ! does not yet necessarily
imply the utter renunciation of the intoxicating cup. Nor does
it yet go without saying that the professed christian will be
found wielding his utmost influence for the banishment of the
vile traflfic.
The saloon can of course always rely for its defense upon the
army of liquor makers and venders — -250,000 strong. But the
voters of our land number 5,000,000, and yet the saloon has not
been driven out ! There is surely occasion still even within the
Church for specific Temperance effort.
Regarding Increase of Temperance Setitiinent and Practice. —
While laboring diligently for legal prohibition of the trafific, it is
imperatively necessary that we shall prepare a foundation of
public sentiment, on which such legislation may rest. In fact law
is but crystalized sentiment, and public sentiment even prior to
such crystalization may effectually dominate the community.
The consensus of opinion as represented in these reports is
very^ clearly to the effect that within the church there is a rise in
Temperance sentiment and practice. Regarding the community
outside many seem to be in doubt. Some say " in the country —
Yes. In the towns — No." In districts where there is a large
foreign element Temperance principles find little favor.
From the South the reports are most cheering — notably from
Texas, E. Tennessee and Georgia. From Knox Presbytery the
report is made that "Temperance sentiment has grown greatly in
our State of Georgia. More than "% of our 137 counties are under
local prohibition." And similar conditions prevail in Arkansas.
In South Carolina and Arkansas the labors of the two able
and faithful men whose services your Committee had engaged for
Temperance work among the colored people gave promise of
excellent results, but with an empty treasury we could not go on,
and this work during the past year, we are grieved to report, has
been almost suspended.
From no section of the country do we receive more en-
couraging reports than from the new State of N. Dakota where
the public sentiment strongly supports the prohibitory law and
it is well enforced. But there is mourning among the friends of
the cause over the retrogression in S. Dakota and Iowa.
In the last named State a sad change is reported since in 1894
the people were tricked out of their prohibitory law, and the
so-called Mulct law was substituted, on the ever-recurring plea
that prohibition could not be enforced. We are told that now
the open saloon and the joint are on every side.
Gov. Larrabee in 1889, after four years of faithful enforce-
ment of the prohibitory law, was able to report more than half
the jails empty, convicts in the penitentiary reduced by 100,
court expenses greatly curtailed, taxes much reduced and the
State out of debt. But now after three years of license, the
prisons are overflowing, taxes increased, the State under a heavy
debt and the treasury is empty.
Nor has the concession made to the liquor power secured an
abatement of its demands. " The daughters of the horse-leech
cry give ! give !" In the past year the clamors of this rapacious
traffic have constrained the opening of the State to the distillery
and the brewery.
8
There seems to be a like conspiracy in Kansas and the same
tactics are pursued. First, efforts are made to prevent enforce-
ment in the larger cities and then the cry is raised — " Away with
prohibition, give us something practicable — a law that can be
be enforced." But the good people of that State seem to be on
the alert. They perceive that in its essential character the
liquor business is a law-breaker and change of law will not effect
its regeneration. A violator of the whole law of God, what
guarantee could be given of its subjection to any human law ?
The alcoholic liquor trade is piracy. It is the trade of the
wrecker who not only thrives by the ruin of others but by his
decoy lights lures ships to their ruin that he may grow rich upon
their flotsam.
And not with any lack of charity towards liquor sellers do
we thus speak. Reared in less favored lands than ours as most of
them have been : lacking the benign influences of evangelical
Christianity, lured by the sure prospect of great gains, the State
saying to them by its license law "The business is legitimate"
and by the voice of its court, " You may pursue it," is it to be
expected that such men, even though certified as "of good moral
character " should upon conscientious grounds turn their backs
upon this temptation.
Verily the license system is an anomaly. It is a surrender
by a christian State to the importunate demands of the powers of
evil.
Like that other cowardly surrender when hate incarnate
clamored at the gates of the Roman governor's palace until "that
just person" in whom no fault could be found was given up to the
fury of his enemies and the magistrate who ought to have
unsheathed his sword " for the terror of evil doers " did no more
than " wash his hands " in token of dissent — so now it is greed
incarnate which with threats and promises importunes the State.
Our rulers make response " your business is evil, it spreads vice
and crime." But in such utterance they are merely washing their
hands in dissent. They shortly yield to the clamor. The evil
business is licensed and so to the will of this insatiate enemy is
delivered over the young manhood of the land — soul, body and
estate.
Yes, truly the license policy of our government is the Pontius
Pilate policy. But who in this case is Pilate ?
Let every citizen remember that he is a constituent of the
government of the Commonwealth, and not by any mere verbal
expression of dissent can he wash his hands of complicity in this
great crime. When his voice, his influence and his ballot shall
have been used against this iniquity, in the manner which he
believes before God to be most effective, then and not till then
should a christian citizen presume to say " I am innocent of this
blood."
" This is a lamentation, and shall be for a lamentation," that
any member of our beloved Church should have been an aidor
t
and abettor of the iniquitous traffic. In more than one Presbytery,
as these reports tell us, such offenses have come. Our faces
mantle with shame at the fact, that several rulin<,r elders and
one minister of the gospel, have been implicated; and, by one
Presbyterial Temperance Chairman, the fact is deplored that the
effort at administration of discipline was met and obstructed by
the contention that the utterance of the General Assembly on this
point, though as explicit as possible, has not the force of law.
"When shall we have Presbyterian law on this subject ?" is his
anxious inquiry, which we respectfully refer to the General
Assembly.
Most earnestly do we make our appeal to the thousands of
worthy people who have heretofore implicitly accepted the
license system, that they give the subject thorough investigation.
Limited space precludes the presentation in detail here, of the
proofs that license is wrong in principle and futile in practice,
but the evidence is accessible to all. From such a study we shall
expect to see the candid investigator return in the regretful
spirit of the poet : — " It never was in my soul
To act so ill a part,
But evil is wrought by want of thought
As well as want of heart."
Regarding observance of Scientific Te?nperance i?istructiofi laws.
As compared with reports of preceding years, the answers on this
point are encouraging. While some still continue to reply "Uon't
know," there is a greatly increased number who have given
this matter attention, and seem to realize that the imparting of
this instruction may prove the means of fortifying these little
ones against the allurements of the intoxicating cup and the per-
nicious cigarette.
In New Jersey, where this law is of recent enactment, the
Presbyterial reports generally represent it as faithfully observed;
also in New York, where a valuable mandatory provision was
lately added. In ninety districts of that State failure to obey the
law has lately been punished by forfeiture of State appropria-
tion. Two California Presbyteries speak rather doubtfully and
one large Presbytery in Pennsylvania reports the teaching as per-
functory, but a Michigan report says " well enforced and whole-
some. The influence of this instruction is already bearing most
excellent fruit in the thought and habits of the rising generation."
The new law in Illinois is working admirably. Millions of school
children come out of homes still dominated by the exploded
popular fallacy regarding the nutritious, strengthening and y^gle-
some virtues of beer and whisky. These children are now irf'the
plastic hands of the teacher. In nearly every State there is a law
requiring that every grade of pupils shall be taught from text
books, which exhibit the conclusions of science regarding the
poisonous character of alcohol and narcotics, and the injury which
results to man's entire system from their use.
10
What a golden opportunity, now before appetite has yet been
developed, to correct the pernicious traditional errors which these
children imbibe in their homes. How incalculably important that
they shall be fore-warned and fore-armed.
Shall this be done ? Shall the law be enforced ? Manifestly
that depends. Ordinarily, when the constraining and stimulating
pressure of public sentiment is felt by the teachers, the law will
be faithfully observed. But if outside the school-room, nobody
knows and nobody cares, its fate is a foregone conclusion. And
especially will such be the result in our rum-ruled cities, in one of
which, not long ago, 411 petitions for license was signed by school
directors, while seven wards of the city had each, from one to four
saloon-keepers seated as members in its school-board!
Whose influence, in most communities, is so potent in mould-
ing public sentiment, as that of Presbyterian pastors and elders,
and people. It has been well said that " Opportunity is God's
command."
VouY committee has dwelt with insistency on this matter in
the reports of years past, and in special circulars and leaflets, and
it has often been with surprise and painful regret, that we have
witnessed so little indication of interest or effort along this line
of Temperance education work for the young.
But now, after the recent action taken by so many Synods
and^Presbyteries, regarding the relation of college education to
Temperance, we can no longer doubt that there is, throughout
the Church, a substratum of deep conviction on this whole sub-
ject. Those fathers and brethren have given us evidence that they
are as thoroughly awake as we can be, to the unspeakable impor-
tance of this whole question of the Temperance education and
environments of the young. With the deep solicitude expressed
regarding our young men in college, it is needless to say that we
are in most hearty sympathy, but it is our present contention and
plea, that all solicitude must not be expended on them, but that
those in earlier life shall be permitted to share in it. Save the
childrefi !
If the flowing brook, just ready to debouch into the [broad
river, is to be vigilantly guarded against the influences which
threaten to foul its purity, or deflect its course, is such jealous care
needless near the fountain head, where the tiny streamlets' suscep-
tibility is greater to influences either friendly or adverse. May we
be permitted to plead that, with no abatement of interest and of
effort, for the removal of unfavorable moral influences from the
environments of college life, equal zeal shall be exercised regard-
ing the little ones.
The going out of a youth from the encircling influence of a
christian home, cannot but be to parents and friends, an occasion
of deep and anxious interest and there are special perils in
college life as there have ever been, which ought to engage
attention and inspire prayerful solicitude. Regarding those
special sources and occasions of evil influence complained of by
II
so many of our Synods and Presbyteries it is ground for gratu-
lation that some offences have been removed, and some unfavor-
able conditions in college life are being corrected, and it will
now be the desire of all to strengthen the hands of that element
in the management which aims at such a consummation.
The attention of the last Assembly was citeci and expression
solicited as to the pernicious custom ^of college wine-banquets.
While it was not alleged that in any institution amenable to the
Assembly's authority such custom prevailed, yet your Committee
conceived it to be fit, and important to the cause that our Church
should by explicit utterance contribute her quota towards the
establishment of a just and regnant public sentiment on this
subject.
With extremely rare exceptions our large Universities are
located in towns or cities set thickly with those man-traps of
satan — the saloons. Certainly, therefore, parents about to place
a son in college should do so only with prayerful circumspection.
If, to the shame of our nineteenth century civilization, 'Our boys
as they leave the shelter of the home, whether for college or for
business, are obliged to " run the gauntlet " of the saloons, the
more carefully should we prepare and fortify them in the home
circle and sabbath school for the perilous experience which
awaits them. Surely the college which seeks the patronage of
christian parents if it has not yet been freed from such evil
environment ought to make unmistakably manifest its attitude of
protest and antagonism thereto. And will the conscientious
parent choose to place his boy under the tutelage of dram-drink-
ing instructors ?
Investigation should be made regarding the spiritual atmos-
phere of the institution and as to what diligence is shown in
keeping at work counteracting influences to save the student
from the peril of temptation. It is with gratitude to God
that your Committee has received assurance of the earnest work
of this character that is being done in some of our largest
Universities. Of one of these the Chairman of a Presbyterial
Temperance Committee writes that "the institution was never
more penetrated with a positive healthy religious sentiment than
at present."
Parents should beware lest the moral and spiritual interests
be subordinated to the intellectual. The existence of demoral-
izing agencies in and around an institution or the absence of
elevating spiritual influences cannot be atonedfor by any ample
wealth of facilities for literary and scientific ^^culture. " What
shall it profit a man if he gain the whole world and lose his own
soul ?"
But even if any parent were inclined, in this investigation,
only to ask which college will best promote his son's success in
his professional or business career, he should reflect that what-
ever else a college does for its student, if it^sendSjhim out
addicted, even moderately, to the use of intoxicants, that student
12
has thus been heavily handicapped for the race he must run. In the
fierce competition^i^now prevalentjin trade, in manufactures, and
in the professions, the sound health, clear intellect, cool brain
and steady nerves of the total-abstainer will steadily forge to
the front.
Possibly on such a subject the testimony of your Committee,
and of these Presbyterial narratives, and of the General Assem-
bly will be taken at a discount even by some who do not question
the veracious character of the witnesses. They regard the utter-
ances of the advocates of Temperance as somewhat colored by
their prejudices. We therefore greatly desire that such doubters
shall be confronted with the
TESTIMONY OF EXPERIENCE AND SCIENCE.
The railway companies and insurance companies will be
acquitted of the charge of fanatical bias. And the medical pro-
fession speak on the use of intoxicants not from the standpoint
of moral but of natural law.
Railway Companies and the Drink Habit. — After correspondence
with the general managers or other officials of 26 railway
companies including the largest on the continent and employing
hundreds of thousands of men, we are able to report that we
have discovered no railroad company whose employees are not
forbidden the use of intoxicating drinks while on duty. Almost
uniformly they tell us that in employing men preference is given
to total-abstainers. Many companies forbid the frequenting of
saloons and declare such practice sufficient ground for discharge,
while fully one-half of the whole number heard from demand
that their employees shall utterly abstain from all intoxicants
whether on duty or off. From the uniformly courteous replies
of these gentlemen we present one here. It is from the Canadian
Pacific Railway Co., is dated Winnipeg, Manitoba, 13th April,
1898, addressed to the Corresponding Secretary of this Committee.
Dear Sir— I have pleasure in replying to your letter of the 8th inst.
regarding the rules that this Company has adopted for the government of their
employees regarding the use of intoxicating liquor. The rule that we have
laid down is very brief, merely a statement that m the interests of safety and
efficiency the use of intoxicants is absolutely prohibited : that an instance of
intoxication will not be overlooked, but will be followed by immediate dis-
missal, and that preference will be given in every case to those who abstain
from its use. We have also inserted in our book of rules the following advice
to the men employed :
" The continued or the excessive periodical use of malt or alcoholic
liquors should be abstained from by everyone engaged in operating the road,
not only on account of the great risks to life and property incurred by entrust-
ing them to the oversight of those whose intellects may be dulled, at times
when most care is needed, but also, and especially, because habitual drinking
has a very bad ejffect upon the constitution, which is a serious matter for men so
liable to injury as railway employees always are. It so lessens the recupera-
tive powers of the body that simple wounds are followed by the most serious
and dangerous complications. Fractures unite slowly, if at all, and wounds of
of a grave nature, such as those requiring the loss of a limb, are almost sure
to end fatally. No Employee Can Afford to Take Such Risks, and
THE Railway Company Cannot Assume Such Responsibility.
13
Regarding the number of men employed on this division of the C P. Ry.
under my supervision, I may say that it varies from 6,7U0 men in winter to
10,000 men when we are making improvements and managing the ordinary
summer work.
I trust that you will find this information satisfactory, and remain,
Yours very truly,
W. Whyte, Manager.
Life Insurance Companies and the drink habit. The position of
these companies relative to drinkinfr is not the result of any
consensus of optnio?i but of the collection of y^zr/ly actually occurring^
as shown in the figures of their mortuary lists. Dr. Henry Tuck,
Medical Director of the New York Life Insurance Company
wrote: " We ^are , very confident that total abstainers stand a
better chance^of attaining a good longevity than what are known
as moderate drinkers."
James VV. Alexander, Vice President of the Equitable Life
Assurance Society, declares : "Other things being equal I think
we should always give preference to total abstainers." Extra
rates are charged for persons engaged in manufacture and sale of
beer and spirits, even though at present abstemious, from the
"fear that persons so engaged cannot keep so near the fire without
being burned."
Jacob L. Greene, President of the Connecticut Mutual Life
Insurance Company, says : " The death rate is more profoundly
affected by the use of intoxicating drinks than from any other
cause, apart from heredity." The prevalent notion that beer is a
harmless and healthful substitute for more concentrated liquors
is declared to be utterly disproven by the experience of this
Company. " Beer-drinking is peculiarly deceptive at first ; it is
thoroughly destructive at last." — (Cyclopedia of T. and P.)
WJtat the Doctors say about dri?ik may be read in the following
resolutions adopted almost unanimously by the American
Medical Association, a national body representing that profession
in this country.
"Resolved First, That in view of the alarming prevalence and ill
effects of intemperance, with which none are so familiar as the members of
the medical profession, and which have called forth from eminent English
physicians the voice of warning to the people of Great Britain, concerning the
use of alcoholic beverages, we, members of the medical profession of the
United States, unite with the declaration that we believe alcohol should be classed
with powerful drugs, that when prescribed medically it should be done with
conscientious caution and a sense of great responsibility.
Resolved Second, That we are of the opinion that the use of alcoholic
liquors as a beverage is productive of a large amount of physical and mental
disease ; that it entails diseased appetites and enfeebled constitutions upon
offspring, and that it is the cause of a large percentage of the crime and
pauperism of our cities and country.
Resolved Third, That we would welcome any change in public
sentiment that would confine the uses of liquors to the uses of science, art and
medicine."
Substitutes for tfie Saloon. — In a former report your Committee
bespoke the favorable consideration by the General Assemby an d
14
by the churches of proposed schemes for counteracting the
influence of the saloon by the establishment of places of resort
that should be pleasant but not perilous. The saloon skillfully
caters to men's social impulses, offering itself as " the poor man's
club house." Many who have as ^-et contracted no appetite for
its baneful beverages are strongly drawn by its social attractions.
Why should not "the children of light" be equally wise ?
The experiment has been tried with a good measure of suc-
cess, of furnishing means by which the social impulses and long-
ings could be gratified without the accompaniments of vice and
impurity connected with the saloon.
The Temperance report recently adopted by the Presbytery
of New York earnestly commends this line of work to the several
churches of that city. Arguing that "it is certainly a legitimate
sphere for churches whose declared mission it is to seek and save
the lost, and thus make manifest the truth that Christianity is
the redeeming force of human society. At the same time it
would furnish a useful and specific field for the training of church-
members, and doubtless bring into the church many who could
be influenced by no other agency. It would directly help to solve
the vexed question of reaching the masses. It would be going
to them in a manner they can understand. It would show that
the Church means something besides sermons and singing. It
would be Christian love taking a practical form."
May this truly Christ-like philanthropy commend itself to
the favor our people not only in the metropolis but in other
cities, so that the scheme may be realized in the near future in
many places.
WHAT OF THE NIGHT ?
As we close this report we are grateful to God that we can
say to our brethren that from the watch tower where you have
placed us, there are visibly, glad " signs of promise." And even
were it not so, that were no cause for disquietude, but the .Lord's
people should claim for the cause of Temperance what the
sainted Judson claimed for missions — " the prospect is as bright
as the promise of God."
The term of the following members of the Permanent Com-
mittee expires at this time : Ministers, R. D. Wilson, D. D. and
C. W. Wycoff ; Ruling Elders, George Irwin, Wm. C. Lilley.
Some months since Rev. C. W. Wycoff having desired to be
relieved on account of difficulty of attending the meetings of
the Committee, Rev. Chas. S. McClelland D. D. was requested

ACTION ON TEMPERANCE
BY THE
GENERAL ASSEMBLY
AT
Winona Lake, Ind., May 27, 1898.
Resolved, First. That this Assembly reiterates the deliver-
ance of other Assemblies in declaring that the word of God en-
joins temperance, and that its priciples of love and sacrifice com-
mand total abstinence. " If meat make my brother to offend, I
will eat no flesh while the world standeth."
Resolved^ Second. That our ministers and elders be urged to
bear frequent, pronounced and public testimony against intemper-
ance as a menace to all social institutions and a regnant influence
arrayed against the achievement of every Christian ideal.
Resolved, Third. That this Assembly calls the attention of
all Sessions and Presbyteries to the failure of so many of these
judicatories to maintain proper correspondence with the Perma-
nent Committee on Temperance.
Resolved, Fourth. That this Assembly urges the passage of
the Ellis bill now pending in Congress, and directs the Permanent
Committee on Temperance to communicate this action *to the
proper Congressional committee.
Resolved, Fifth. That we recommend the observance of
Temperance Day on the third Sunday of November.
Resolved, Sixth. That the minutes of the Permanent Com-
mittee be approved.
Resolved, Seventh. That the following members of the As-
sembly's Permanent Committee be re-elected : Rev. R. D. Wil-
son, D. D., ruling elders, William C. Lilley and George Irwin, and
that the election be confirmed of Rev. Chas S. McClelland, D. D.,
chosen by the Committee to fill the place of Rev. W. C. Wycoff,
resigned.
Resolved, Eighth. This General Assembly calls upon all who
are connected with our beloved Church to exercise increased dil-
igence and watchfulness over themselves and those committed to
their care in respect to intemperance, whether as parents or
teachers in our schools and colleges, in order that our homes and
schools may be purged of the evil of intemperance and the saloon
traffic be driven from our land ; and this without reflection upon
the authorities of collegiate institutions.
