WOMAN^S WORK
Vol. XXn. MAY, 1907. No. 5.
The Annual Meeting of all the Wo-
man's Foreign Missionary Boards of the
Presbyterian Church, in connection with
the General Assembly, will be held in
Central Presbyterian Church, Colum-
bus, Ohio, on May 20. There wiU be a
union pray er-meetingeach morning dur-
ing the Assembly at 9 . 30 . Many mission-
ai'ies will be present as well as repre-
sentatives from all the Woman's Boards.
Railroad rates for all visitors will be the
same as are accorded to Commissioners
andare published in thereligious papers.
Entertainment will be provided for all
missionaries, and those expecting to be
present are requested to write immedi-
ately to Mrs. A. B. Adair, 1003 Bryden
Road, Columbus, Ohio.
Rev. Stanley White, pastor of Hill-
side Church in Orange, N. J., accepts
appointment as Secretary of the Board
of Foreign Missions. Mr. White is the
son of Erskine N. White, D.D., Secre-
tary of the Church Erection Board.
At the regular meeting of the Assem-
bly's Board, April 15, Hon. Wm. Jen-
nings Bryan made a good speech about
the missions, as he saw them on his tour
of the world. He had passed from one
center of civilization, created by Ameri-
can men and women and by American
money, to anothersimilar center, through
his whole journey. Of all the Sunday-
school children in India, two-thirds are
in American missions. He and Mrs.
Bryan took up eight scholarships in mis-
sion schools, four for boys, four for girls.
The Board of the Southwest goes to
the head. It has outdone all the other
partners who publish Woman's Work
in building up the subscription list for
the year. It made a gain of 203, the
North^vest gained 82, but deficiencies
here and there had to be atoned for ; it
was inevitable that the Occidental list
should fall off. Total gain stands — 217.
"The death of Mrs. Frank Newton is
announced by cable from India. She is
known as a well-loved member of Pun-
jab Mission for the past thirty-seven
years — one who gave herself, as health
permitted, to forwarding the medical
work of her husband and to charities for
the poor. She was instrumental in the
establishment of a Woman's Hospital at
Ferozepore. Her husband and one
daughter, Mrs. A. B. Gould, M.D., in
India, other children in this country and
family friends at Chambersburg, Pa.,
deeply mourn her loss. The Church, too,
pays its tribute of respect and sympathy.
A shocking accident occurred at Pao-
tingfu, China, by which Mrs. Henry
Perkins, M.D., of the American Board
Mission, fell under the wheels of a mov-
ing train. Amputation of both legs be-
low the knee became necessary and Dr.
Maud Mackey, unassisted by physician
or trained nurse, bravely and successfully
met the situation. Providentially, Rev.
W. A. Mather was at the R.R. station
or Mrs. Perkins would have died. While
Chinese stared helplessly, he improvised
a cot and carried the patient to his own
study from which she was not moved for
seventeen days. Dr. and Mrs. Chas.
Lewis were out of the city at the time.
New Year's night Dr. Emma E.
Fleming found herself again, safe and
sound, at her station. She writes :
There is an appalling work before me in the
Hospital, but the Lord is with me and I hope
good times are in store for Ichowfu. The fam-
ine in the province southwest of us is terrible,
ten millionsof peopleonthevergeof starvation.
Last month Mrs. Bernheisel's account
of revival at Pyeng Yang was published.
A later letter mentions how Mrs. Swal-
len, her husband not having come home,
looked out of the window at midnight
and, seeing lights in the church still
burning, she said, " Praise the Lord,"
and at two she looked out again and
said, " Praise the Lord again. " Speak-
ing of confessions in a women's meeting :
"Our hearts have ached for these women,
some of them, have been wronged so much
As one young woman with a baby on her bac^

EDITORIAL NOTES.
[May,
told her story, her body shook with sobs. El-
ders and deacons and Mr. McCune were on
the platform, tears running down their cheeks,
and all the women were crying. We could only
quiet them by the men on the platform sing
ing ' Nothing but the blood of Jesus,' in which
we women gradually joined. . . . Our hearts
are full of love these days and we want them
always to be so."
We at home are not in a position to
properly estimate revival scenes in Korea
unless we bear in mind that the people
making these confessions have but just
come out of heathenism ; that the grosser
sins which they confess are not meas-
ured by Western standards, among Ko-
reans in general, and that they were
committed before contact with the gos-
pel or in anunenlightenedstageof knowl-
edge. Their confessions prove how be-
ing Christians has changed their views
of sin. As to confessions between mis-
sionaries at Pyeng Yang, the writer of
these lines testifies that in making the
circuit of the globe, she saw no mission
station where the spirit of harmony, of
mutual loyalty, was more in evidence
than at P^'eng Yang. Is not the question
pertinent whether, if the Spirit of God
were poured out at home in the same de-
gree, there might not be confessions and
tears among members and officers of
many women's missionary societies,
among ministers of some Presb3'teries ?
Time is up, for gamblingdens in Bang-
kok, according to the royal scheme which
has been two years in operation, but —
there is a " but." It is feared that the
loss of revenue from this source is to be
made up on liquor licenses.
" Laos " is a confusing geographical
term. On first meeting it, most persons
take it to stand for one of the Greek
Islands — like Samos or Lesbos. If it is
not an independent country, why do we
not address letters to ' ' Laos in Siam " ?
Because this country, lying north of
Siam, derives its name from the people
occupj'ing it and, while some Laos prov-
inces are subject to Siam, others are not;
Some belong to British Burma. In either
case mails for Laos ax'e transmitted
without touching a Lower Siam port.
Partly, perhaps, because ' ' the wish
was father to the thought," Ave were
credulous enough to believe the state-
ment in an India newspaper that the
British Government had ^ven 50,000
rupees to Woodstock School, and this
was stated in Woman's Work, last
June. It turns out that this sum is ten
times larger than that received by Wood-
stock, which, however, is reported by
Punjab Mission as having no deficit.
We hope that friends on this side will
continue to take a warm interest in this
very deserving school.
Two conferences of the first import-
ance were held last month in the Far
East. The World's Student Christian
Federation, representing thirty coun-
tries and a membership of 113,000 stu-
dents and professors, gathered in Asso-
ciation Hall at Tokj'o, Japan, April 3-7.
Delegations were present not only from
the United States, Canada, Mexico, Aus-
tralia, South Africa, and nearly every
country of Europe, but Siam sent two
men, India eight delegates, Korea sev-
eral, China fiftj'-three young men and
four Chinese young women. This is the
first International Conference ever held
in Japan. At its close, bands of West-
ern delegates were appointed to conduct
an active campaign among students in
the chief cities of Japan — cities loaded
at this very time with Chinese students.
It is safe to say that every missionary
in Tokyo has had heart and hands brim-
ful all April.
The China Centenary Conference
convened at Shanghai, April 25-May 8.
Report of the Women's Hospital at
Wei Hsien, China (1906), has tardily

A Tientsin missionary, Mrs. Taft,
reports to Woman's Work in the Far
East the "astounding discovery" of a
"modern girls' school" in a forlorn ham-
let thirty miles from Tientsin. Lessons
included "etiquette, Chinese language,
arithmetic, geography, elementary sci-
ence, sewing, drawing, cahsthenics,
music. About the room were biological
and phj'sical culture charts, maps and
blackboards." In the present eagerness
for Western education, Mrs. Taft dis-
cerns a danger : ' ' the demand for showy
accomplishments and quick methods."

Do you remember our afternoon visit
to the brave, happy Princess, in her little
house in the old palace grounds ? I wish
you could have been with us at the pal-
ace, on January 12.
While I was in America, the Princess,
with some of our teachers in Bangkok,
decided to have a Woman's Club for the
purposeof cultivatingmutual sympathy,
keeping in touch with, and learning from,
each other. The Club continues and has
done some good work. We meet the 15th
of every month, about 4 o'clock in the
afternoon, at the home of the Princess.
A lecture, written by some one previous-
ly appointed, is read and followed by a
discussion. Then we have a reading of
the world's news and, afterward, some
light refreshments. We manage to have
a pleasant time together, and are united
in fellowship.
Our January meeting was a Christmas
celebration. It was the first time that
old palace ever had a Christmas tree, and
all the women and children from the other
houses gathered there. Ithad been agreed
that no one was to spend more than one
tical on whatever presents she chose to
give, and many ingenious little things
were made out of paper. All showed
loving thought and the tree was full of
gifts. It so happened that I was unable
to attend and two of our oldest teachers
had fever, so they could not go, but all
who went enjoyed the afternoon. Best
of allwas the enthusiasmof the Princess.
" Oh, I am so glad," she said, *' to show
all the people here that Christmas means
love and good fellowship for all man-
kind. Shut away as we are from the out-
side world, we let little troubles divide
us, but this will show that we really care
for each other. " The Princess feels that
she now knows something of the great
love of God. Into her life has come a
consciousness of His presence, and she
says, ' ' I now love Jesus and try to obey
Him.'' I wish you could go again with
me into her home and talk with her and
really know how happy she is in her
new-found faith.
We want the Club to be a help to all
the young women who have been in
Wang Lang School. Besides them few
attend, and we would like to welcome
many others. It is one of the difficulties
in Siam, to get women to associate in a
friendly spirit. I may add that we, our-
selves, find it difficult to get time enough
to keep the meetings fresh and helpful.

Editor's Suggestion. — Here is a chance to
help that Club and help a busy teacher, bur-
dened vs'ith the care of a scliool of more than
a hundred girls. Some of you Club-goers just
keep your ears open for a very suitable and
stimulating paper by one of your members,
borrow it, make a copy and send to Miss Cole.
Or why not send her some current magazine
that contains a suggestive article, particularly
if well illustrated ? This is a chance to "lend
a hand."
The Mission Press, Bangkok, reports some very large jobs last year: "printing the
government Police Manual, in both Siamese and English — duties of the police from the highest
commissioner to the lowest constable are distinctly pointed out; printing the Siamese trans-
lation of the American Pharmacopceia, complete. A Siamese geometry and trigonometry for
the Government Survey School, and a Siamese-English Hand-book." The job work keeps the
press self-supporting, and covers the cost of tracts and Scriptures. J. B. Dunlap is Manager.

Coming EventsCast TheirShadows.
July, 1906.— One of the Chieng Rai
hostesses v^rote: " Sewing must be fin-
ished early this year, as Annual Meet-
ing is going to be in Chieng Rai and we
want to go touring right afterwards."
And again she wrote: " Nov. 24. — It is
only a short time until Annual Meeting,
so we are pounding and hammering in
order to provide for our many guests.
We are fixing up temporary rooms with
mat walls and bamboo, for there is only
one permanent mission house in Chieng
Rai at present. We are looking for a
large gathering and I am very happy at
the thought of seeing friends I have not
seen for two or three years and of meet-
ing others for the first time."
The Journey from'Lakawn.
We returned from our trip to Annual
Meeting in January, after an absence of
six weeks, four of which were spent in
traveling to and from our place of meet-
ing— Chieng Rai. We have no railroads,
although there is a promise of one in the
near future, so we travel by slow stages,
our camping outfit carried by ponies or
men — a tent, folding-table, chairs, beds,
cooking utensils, food and clothing. Be-
sides our actual necessities, we must
think of everything we or our men, or
any one we meet, may need in any pos-
sible emergency, for are not our supplies
of medicine, Unt, bandages, and good
advice, limitless ?
There are so many last things to do —
last patients to prescribe for, last direc-
tions to leave in the hospital and home
compound, that the children, carriers,
and myself started on in advance, leav-
ing Dr. Hansen to come on behind on
his bicycle. We do not travel more than
twelve or fifteen miles each day. The
road led over some fine mountains and
through magnificent forests of teak,
where monkeys called and tigers roared.
On the last day of the journey my eldest
daughter, eight years of age, fell off her
horse in crossing a rice field and broke her
arm. It was only a ' ' green stick frac-
ture," but it kept her in bed several days.
We gathered from all over Laosland
to our meeting in the far north, and we
enjoyed the Christian fellowship, the
business conferences and the reports of
what had been done in other stations.
Twenty-six of us gathered around the
table on Christmas Day — and such a
Christmas dinner! The roast peacock
and enormous plum pudding were the
most toothsome dishes, but there were
others good enough for any Christmas
board. After two weeks of delightful
association , we all turned our faces home-
ward, refreshed, and consecrated anew
for the year's work.

Five Years^ Progress at Chieng Rai, Laos,
I — Properties have been secured suffi-
cient for the residence of a third mission-
aiy family, for a school, hospital, church
and evangelistic hall.
II — A survey was made of the entire
city and suburbs, necessitating the open-
ing and grading of a number of new-
streets, straightening or widening old
ones, demolishing a part of the city wall
and converting it into material for a
wide boulevard, digging of drains and
building of culverts. If the scheme is
carried to completion, it will change
what was heretofore a swamp and tiger
jungle, making Chieng Rai a compara-
tively healthful and beautiful city. The
new streets were named by His Royal
Highness the Crown Prince during his
visit there. At the time of this visit,
there were no persons outside the Chris-
tian community capable of erecting the
necessary building for the reception of
His Royal Highness.*

taken, when many were deserting the
city. Christians were urged to remain
and were encouraged in getting home
sites for themselves in different parts.
III — Two new missionary families
have been added to the force. Through

the enthusiastic efforts of Mr. White,
Chieng Rai had her first Christian con-
vention, two years ago. Last year it
was repeated.
IV — A cottage prayer-meeting for
women of the church was started three
years ago. Interest in learning to read
has greatly increased among Christians.
V — The first mission house built of
brickis now being put up by Mr. Vincent.
VI — Two new churches have been or-
ganized, one north of the city, the other .
to the south.
VII — In the medical department, self-
support has been reached by enforcing
the rule that all except the very poor,
whether Christians or not, are to pay
for medicines. Fees for attending gov-
ernment officials and European residents
contribute largely to making ends meet.
VIII — Progress made by government
and affecting missionary work more or
less: The telegraph line completed to
Chieng Rai ; roads improved throughout
the province; many Siamese officials
and soldiers placed in Chieng Rai; a
British Vice-Consul sent there; visits of
the Commander-in-Chief of the Siamese
army and the Crown Prince are signif-
icant, being the first made to Chieng
Rai by any member of the royal family
during the present King's reign.

Bazaar Chapels as Evangelistic Centers,
About fifteen years ago, during my
second year in Siam, I canvassed a good
part of the business center of Bangkok
with a view to securing a room in which
to hold evangelistic services. Owners of
property seemed suspicious as to the na-
ture of our work, so that I could secure
no desirable building. Through persist-
ence, I finally obtained possession of the
only place I could get — a miserable, di-
lapidated little shop, indescribably dirty.
I think it was granted me with the hope
that I would spurn it and give up hunt-
ing for a place ; but I accepted the chal-
lenge, cleaned up the shop and began to
hold regular preaching services.
At the first gathering, a woman who
gave earnest attention asked permission
to speak a word to my audience. I
granted her request, and in kind words
she commended the gospel that had been
presented and urged the practiceof Chris-
tian precepts. That was the first time
she ever heard the story of Jesus, and I
have never seen her since.
After this beginning, it was only a few
weeks before I found a building whose
lower floor was empty and faced the
street. It was rented by a woman who
had heard our services kindly spoken of
by her neighbors, so she gladly accepted
my offer to rent her vacant room. Busi-
ness matters soon obliged her to vacate
the upper floor and move to another part
of the city, and then I secured the whole
house and, in addition to a Sabbath ser-
vice, we opened a free reading-room and
placed a Siamese man in charge daily.
From this time the house became known
as the Rajawong chapel.
The following year the Third Church
of Bangkok was organized by Presby-

tery in this chapel with six Chinese as
charter members. They were converts
of the EngHsh Presbyterian Mission in
Swatow, China.
The church has grown steadily and
during all the time I have been in charge
there have been accessions at every
Communion, about half of those received
on confession having heard the gospel
for the first time at this chapel. Our
membership is drawn from Chinese of
four different dialects as unlike as French
and German; also from Siamese, In-
dians and Eurasians. Services are at-
tended by Japanese, Koreans and Ma-
lays, from time to time. I myself preach
in the Siamese language only, and inter-
preters are much used. Sometimes when
examining candidates for church mem-
bership, I have had three or four inter-
preters at once translating for me to
candidates, and all re-translated to
the two elders — earnest, faithful,
careful and conservative Chi-
nese. It is to their credit that
there has never been need of se-
vere discipline of any disciples
who were admitted to church
membership after examination
by them. Each new member is
impressed with the importance
of personal effort, on his part, to
lead others to Christ and of liv-
ing the gospel in a way that
will not throw discredit upon
the Master, and, considering the
many temptations wherewith
they are constantly beset, these
humble disciples of Jesus have
shown remarkable faith and
heroism. A number of the members are
able to take turns in conducting services
in their different languages and dialects,
and they preach simple, direct gospel
sermons earnestly and effectively.
Kru Choi, our aged, faithful helper,
is to be credited for much of the good
done at Third Church. He speaks and
writes Siamese, Taichu Chinese, and a
little English. Kru Choi has been a Chris-
tian for about fifty j'ears. He joined a
Baptist mission church when about twen-
ty years of age. The dear old man has
recently lost his wife, a noble Christian
woman.
Our mission has also a second chapel
in a bazaar section of Bangkok, where
preaching is carried on much as at Raj-
awong chapel. The audiences at this
place are almost entirely Siamese, and
Mrs. J. B. Dunlap does a good work here
among the children.
Sermons at the bazaar chapels are lit-

not always allowing them to stay
through an entire service. The sermon-
ette gives each person, even if he stops
but a few minutes, a condensed story of
Jesus' gift of Himself to save sinners, so
that if the listener never has another op-
portunity, he will hear enough to show
him the love of Jesus and His power to
save.
The Siamese often act in contradiction
to their feelings, in order to hide them.
So, sometimes, the very individuals who
seemed to mock us when we told them
of Christ, have met me, away in the in-
terior of Siam, as I was stepping from
the touring boat and walking towards the
market. Though in passing our chapel
in the city, their rudeness was such that

LAOS SCHOOLS, THEIR AIMS AND NEEDS. [May,
I noticed it, they have now received me

some of the little sermonettes they heard,
when I supposed they cared for none of
these things. This has been the experi-
Laos Schools, Their
Ambitious to Raise the Grade.
As yet we have not one institution in
Laos of even High School rank. At
Chieng Mai we are dreaming dreams of
the future when our boys will graduate
in medicine and theology or be turned
out skilled workmen. We hope to edu-
cate women who will m ake suitable wives
for these men and multiply the influence
of Christian homes, where the mother is
cleanly according to Western standards,
able to teach, to nurse, to sew, and in
many cases to play the organs in village
chapels. We hope to give her an ade-
quate idea of geography, history, arith-
metic, physiology and hygiene, with
simple nursing and care of children,
weaving, and proper cooking of native
foods. (They feed three-days-old babies
bananas and rice.) To do this we must
have text-books, relief maps, a manikin,
more sewing-machines, more organs. I
have had to turn several pupils away
because we had no instrument for prac-
tice. We are trying to think of some-
thing girls might do to earn their way
through school, as many are too poor to
pay tuition. We make flags and drawn-
work in the sewing class and hand-made
knitted lace. There are about fifty in the
boar din g- school.
In Prince Royal College we teach in
three languages — Laos, Siamese, the of-
ficial tongue, and English, the commer-
cial language and the greatest attraction
of our school. Simple books in English
will be interesting for the libraries which
we wish to start in the schools. Sooner
or later we must have physical and
chemical apparatus — small but real mod-
els of steam engines, mills and electric
dynamos. Thenewrecitation hall, (which
was blown down and again delayed by
a lumber famine,) will be occupied this
spring. Nearly seventy boys were en-
rolled last year. All pay a tuition fee of
two rupees a month, in rice or money ;
they buy their English and Siamese
ence over and over again, not only of
myself but of others of our mission in
making tours. Thus the bazaar chapel in
Siam has been an evangelistic agent and
God has blessed these centers as a means
of bringing the unsaved unto Himself.

A Post-Graduate Course.
Miss Buck, the principal of Chieng
Mai School for Girls, took two of her
assistant teachers, Boa Kam and Chan
Som, on a trip to Bangkok where they
saw electric and steam cars and steam-
ers for the first time in their lives. Miss
Buck mentions a thoroughly Oriental
incident :
We had not gone far below the village where
Boa Kam met us, when we were intercepted
by her brother with a note requesting me to
let her go back as her mother was ill. This
was rather upsetting our plans and I was puz-
zled to know what to do. After a good deal of
quizzing to get Boa Kam's own opinion she
finally said, " If you say you won't consent to
my going back it will be all right." The trou-
ble was the mother got rather lonesome at the
thought of her daughter going so far away.
They sta5-ed at Wang Lang School in Bang-
kok and for the first time ate in foreign style.
As a result, they had spoons to eat with and
individual cups on the way home.
A Visitor Sees Lakawn Girls' School.
Not the least interesting featiire is the hour
when Miss Wilson conducts her drill in music.
The bell is rung, a line is formed, and all march
into the assembly room singing "Onward,
Christian Soldiers." Then a drill in reading
notes follows, with alto and soprano. It is
simply wonderful the way these girls have
been trained, their voices blend so perfectly.
There is not a dull or listless face during this
hour, and there seems to be much regret, both
on the part of teacher and pupils, when it
comes to an end. In the afternoon, their voices
are heard, busy with their lessons, for in most
schools among the Laos pupils study aloud.
There is a gathering at the well and a general
hand-washing before sewing class. What a
happy chatter round the well! When each
hand is quite clean, they gather round Miss
Carothers as she gives out the work, and sit in
various groups, sewing jackets, hemstitching,
making doilies. Some of the girls gave one of
their motion songs, to the delight of all. The
rest of the hour the needles flew merrily to the
music of singing ; then the work was neatly

Village Schools.
The Mission reports 22 primary
schools, most of them conducted and
supported by the Laos themselves. To-
tal enrollment is 409. There are good
stories about these schools. Here is just
one, as Rev. Howard Campbell tells it :
"Ten years ago, a girl of eight or nine years,
very small for her age, presented herself to the
church session requesting to be allowed to
make a public confession of Christ. There
were some misgivings on account of her youth,
but her replies to questions demonstrated that
she understood clearly the nature of the step
which she proposed, and would be grieved If
not permitted to take it. She was at the Girls'
Boarding-School in Chieng Mai, where she con-
tinued her studies for a number of years, and
proved one of the brightest students. The past
year she organized and carried on a school in
her own village with an attendance of thirty-
two. By her energy and tact she persuaded
the village people to build aschoolhouse, which
the pupils so filled that they had scai'cely room
to turn around.
At the opening of the school, she invited all
the parents that she might explain to them
what she proposed to teach and her methods
of teaching. The curriculum included hymns,
prayers and Scripture, and although fifty per
cent, of the school were Buddhists, no objec-
tion was raised. On the closing day, the pa-
rents were again invited. The village elders
were given special seats of honor. Tea and
other refreshments were served, and the pa-
trons were delighted with an exhibition of
what the pupils had learned during a four
months' session. The programme included the
national anthem, Ten Commandments, Chris-
tian hymns and prayers. One entire family
in the village has become Christian partly
through the influence of this school.
Kengtung After the Fire.
Our school building had been sold to
the British Government for a post office
before the fire in which it was destroyed.
The loss to the school was in books, fur-
niture, and the organ which officers of
the last regiment stationed at Keng-
tung had given us. These were stored
in the bazaar chapel, whose brick walls
only were left standing. We had to
order supplies from Rangoon, have new
desks made, and make the dispensary
building into a schoolroom.
Our fourteen pupils speak three dif-
ferent languages, which necessitates
four grades and as many classes as a
school of fifty. Belle E. Dodd.
A Buddhist FestivaL
This has been a gala day for Nan peo-
ple. During the moonhght of this month
(September) they have their ceremony
called Kin Koey Salak, which means
that they carry offerings to the temple
in small baskets made especially for the
occasion; they are of woven bamboo,
about six inches across and a foot high.
One time when I first came out here, I
asked a man having some of these bas-
kets to sell me a couple. He laughed and
said, "They are not for sale, but for
making merit ; you don't understand our
customs."
Each family presents as many baskets
as it can afford, from one to one hundred.
In them they place betel nut, tea leaves,
another leaf which they chew with betel,
sweetmeats of all kinds, rice, pomaloes,
limes, bananas, oranges and anything
else they have which is good to eat.
These offerings are called salak not
(small ones). They have large offerings,
too, which look like little houses on legs,
and are decorated with flowers and bright
paper. In the lower story are eatables;
in the one above, yellow cloth for priests'
robes, pillows, umbrellas and anything
else which the priests use. On the tip-
top like a pedestal is a small tree made
of bamboo sticks, on which are hung
atts (pennies) and cigarettes, tied up in
gayly colored paper ; it looks like a little
Christmas tree. Early in the morning
the temple gongs begin to sound, and by
eight o'clock the processions start, with
men and boys beating small drums and
gongs. All are shouting and dressed in
their brightest colors, and whiskey flows
freely. On the top of each basket is writ-
ten the name of the priest for whom it
is intended, and at the proper time the
names are read out and the priest comes
forward and receives his baskets, for each
one receives a great many. The head
priest has so much that he sells what he
does not want and buys other things.
This is positively against the teachings
of Buddhism, which forbids the priests
to handle money.
Sometimes on this occasion relatives
of a deceased brother, desiring to earn a
great deal of merit, make one of these
little houses as beautiful as possible and
put everything they can aflford into it —
even a native harp. Then they bring it

Village dispensaries are a great insti-
tution in Laos. Suitable Christian men are
selected at remote places and entrusted
with a few common remedies like quinine
that are kept on hand within reach of
the people at all times. These men are
statedly instructed on how to vaccinate,
how to diagnose and how to give out
medicines; printed leaflets explaining
how to use the same are sometimes dis-
tributed. A small pine box will contain
their whole stock of remedies, and,
wherever this box is, you have the in-
expensive, useful village dispensary,
whetheraccommodatedatthedispenser's
own house or in a corner of the police
station, or among a colporteur's books.
They are located, it may be, thirty or
fifty miles apart, and "one hundred and
forty Christian men gain an adequate
livelihood " by vaccinating alone. These
men, like the pedlers of English Refor-
mation days, have every opportunity to
preach Christ as they go, and some of
them are faithful witnesses.
A corps of Laos medical men, not phy-
sicians "but infinitely superior to native
doctors of the old regime " is thus being
trained up. Dr. Denman, when he lived
at Chieng Rai, started and pushed this
enterprise with zeal, and now fourteen
village dispensaries are connected with
that station where attendances last year
were over, rather than less, 2,500.

they crave friendship ; their religion is
forgotten and they lapse again into hea-
thenism and their condition is worse than
before. V/ e have had many who tried to
live by themselves go back again to their
idol worship, just because they were left
alone. Their excuses are pitiful : ' ' We
didn't know" — "We lost our child by
death ; the neighbors would not help us
because we were Christians. Another
child died, and we thought the mission-
ary's God had forsaken us ; so we turned
our back on Him and again went to the
temple and received help from kindred
and neighbors in our hour of trouble."
" I am blind ; I could not read the Scrip-
tures. My wife kept grumbling that it
was not pleasant to be a Christian when
there were only two Christians in the
village. I had no one to read the Bible,
she could not read, I grew discouraged
and I yielded ; so we returned to the tem-
ple." So the excuses go. But not all
who are alone backslide by any means ;
we have many noble examples of stead-
fastness. Many more we might have,
had we only money enough to make
them a yearly visit and hire an evangel-
ist to stay and teach them for a few
months each year. They are so ignorant,
so deep in superstition that the lesson has
to be taught many times before they fully
understand. Twenty-five dollars would
pay an evangelist for six months or pro-
vide a teacher for a school for the same
time. We have some available men, but
no money.
Yesterday I had a visit from a Prin-
cess. These people all hold to the title
and "once a prince always a prince " for
generations. She told me that when a
child she learned to read from the temple
books, so I found a Laos copy of Bible
stories and handed it to her. She had
never seen one of our printed books be-
fore, but after a little help she read it
alone. She was very much interested in
the first pages, which told about the be-
ginning of the world, and was anxious
to know what the remainder of the book
contained. These people have few books
and our Bible reads like a story to them.
Some of the very ignorant are so super-
stitious they would not touch our books.
We get mail regularly in the dry sea-
son and it seems a wonderful thing to
get it every week.

This school of the Mission has been
the standard school for girls in Siam.
During the past six j'ears it has grown
in efficiency and financial standing but
not in numbers — and whj not in num-
bers ? Because the school has been full.
I have lately heard of fifteen girls wait-
ing to enter. Space is economized to a
painful degree. An addition can scarcely
be built, for the ground is too well cov-
ered. No ad joining land can be bought.
We need a new school across the river in
the city proper, accessible to day pupils.
The Government continually asks Miss
Cole for more teachers for its schools
than can be provided. The best products
of Harriet House School is seen in the
lives of women who have gone out from
there; faithful teachers in public and
private schools; and homekeepers who
are looking carefully to the training of
their children and raising the standard
of home life in general. We would like
to see the school so furnished as to great-
ly multiply the number of such women
for Siam. Annabel Gait.
A Nan Grandmother^
Maa Tow Sang is one of the children
of light in Nan. The Lord was not al-
ways her Light. Years
ago, the family possessed
four elephants, cattle and r |
slaves ; now, the rice fields
and old homestead are all
that is left. The husband
and father was most un-
justly accused of witch-
craft. Large amounts of
money were paid to spirit
doctors to eradicate the
taint, butunavailingly , and
so Saan Pun Yah was given
the elephants and slaves
and driven away by the
spirit doctor to dwell alone
until he died.
Five years since, we were
invited to visit the family
and hold a service in the
house. Well I remember the frightened
looks of the children and grandchildren

for God was asked to take up His abode
in the house and hearts of

land at parting and said,
' ' My heart is better, I want
God to have it all."

A Laos Woman^s Adopted Daughter*
Laos is a beautiful country with its
proud mountain ranges and its great
sweeps of rice plains and, best of all, its
women. When one of them comes under
the refining influence of the Christian re-
hgion, she is a fair sight, and all the joys
of the homeland are not to be compared
to that of winning them for Christ.
Auntie Green* is such a woman ;
though a Christian only about two years,
she is devoted — aninspiration to me. The
beauty of it is, there are many just like
her ; she is one of a class of our Laos wo-
men. She has just been in giving me an
account of her adopted child, not much
of a child in point of experience, having
already had a husband, but she will
not have another untd she is wiser, says
Auntie Green with an emphatic toss of
her little head. When this poor girl was
a little child, her parents died leaving her
to a distant relative and she has never
known what it is to be loved until now.
" Well it is not easy to teach anyone
who has so much to learn as Nang, and
that is the truth," Auntie Green reports,
and of course it is not easy to take one of
these out- village women and make her
over into the sweet, gentle person that
Christian culture produces.
When Nang first came to her new
home,she was sent one morningto market
with basket over her shoulder, and with
the first money she ever had to expend,
having been well instructed what to get.
She returned with large rice cakes. "But
where are the vegetables for the cur-
ries ■? " asked Auntie Green excitedly ;
"Oh, I did not get any, these cakes are so
much better." So, next morning Auntie
went to market herself leaving Nang to
steam the rice. But it was a cold morning,
far too cold to get up early, so the rice was
not steamed till late. ' ' What difference
does it make?" said Nang. In one way,
Nang has proved an exception to the

average out- village woman who protests
against the conventional number of gar-
ments. She not only did not object but
insisted on wearing all that she had at
once, Sunday clothes on the outside.
Once properly arrayed for church, the
next thing to teach her was the "fitting
place " for her to sit. Nang insisted on
sitting up in front, next to the "Mother
Teachers," the place reserved by custom
for the learned women, such as the El-
ders' wives. ' ' Why do you sit there ? "
asked Auntie Green, full of indignation.
" It is not fitting seeing you cannot even
read." "If it is not fitting I will not do
it any more," was the meek reply, but
the next Sunday Nang forgot and was
beaming in her old place.
Auntie Green's training seems to be
most thorough. Sometimes, because of
the family work, one member must eat
alone. One day when Nang was thus
engaged on the veranda, I overheard this
conversation. " Nang, did you ask the
blessing before you started to eat?"
called Auntie Green from somewhere
within the house. A repentant voice
replied "O! no, I forgot; I will ask it
right away." "Why, you are nearly
finished ; instead of asking a blessing you
better pray that you may not be so for-
getful next time." Again at night, she in-
quires, "Have you said your prayers ?
afterNang has rolled up snug in her blan-
ket. If not, out Nang must come.
I have sometimes thought Auntie
Green a bit too strenuous in her training
of this child ; but the love Nang has for
her is very touching, seeing she has lived
here not quite a year. Nang says Auntie
Green is the only mother she ever had
and that she is herself a new person since
coming to her new home. It is a beauti-
ful thing to see this woman, having par-
taken of the joys of our Christian relig-
ion, so eager to pass them on to one
less fortunate.

LAOS.
Mrs. Howell S. Vincent wrote from Chi-
ENG Rai, Jan. 7:
During the past season a company of from
ten to twenty girls and women have been
coming in from an out village to sell their
wares to me, and also to see our house. They
have heard that we have one room to sleep in,
another to eat in and still another to receive
guests in, and they wish to see it all. I have
rejoiced to have them come, for their friend
ship will make an opening for aggressive work
in their village. In this north of Laosland,
PEOPLE ARE STILL TIMID AND SHY.
In the city, they seldom run from us, but out
in the villages there is sometimes great fear
till we are able to do something to show our
friendship. In spite of their fear, they are
very proud to have us visit them in their
houses, and I have never yet been repulsed or
even coldly received. As a rule the Laos wo-
man is verj' hospitable. When you enter her
house she immediately presents her betel box
and cigars. She feels quite satisfied, however,
if in refusing we say, "Beg pardon, but in the
outside country women are not accustomed to
chew betel or smoke cigars."
CUSTOM IS EVERYTHING
to these people, and unless a per.son is "ac-
customed " to do a thing it is difficult to get
him to try it. One time we had a rarity in
Laos, a bachelor about thirty years of age,
working for us. He was accustomed to weave
bamboo baskets. I asked him to make me one
and, in giving directions as to size, I mentioned
it was for baby John. Immediately he was up
in arms. " I am not accustomed to make bas-
kets for infants I " I was ignorant of the coun-
try custom that an unmarried per.son must not
make the kind of basket I had asked for. A
woman came one day asking us to redeem her
and her husband from a debt. We inquired
where her husband was, that we might talk
the matter over together. " He is out in the
rice field, but that does not matter; it is not
neces.sary to call him;
HE IS NOT ACCUSTOMED TO TALK."
An out-village woman went to our Christian
service for the first time and, reaching home,
she sat down and laughed and laughed. When
asked why, she said " The Father Nourisher
did all the talking and no one answered him
back one word." In Buddhist services no one
pretends to listen; talking, laughing and
smoking go on. They soon learn to be respect-
ful in our services.
Mrs. Marion B. Palmer, who left San Fran-
cisco July 20, reported the journey :
Nov. 20, 1906. — On the river between Bang-
kok and Chieng 5Iai, a distance of 500 miles.
We are taking this opportunity to write while
the men are pulling the two remaining boats
over the fourth rapid. Yesterday we began
the "Rapids" and last night camped with
mountains on both sides — an almost perpen-
dicular wall 900 to 1,000 feet high on one side,
and the captain tells us that to-day we shall be
in a regular gorge. Men from all the boats
help each boat through. The captain stands
at his place and guides it ; two or three men
pole and the others, twelve of them sometimes,
pull a long, strong pole fastened to the boat;
then one or two walk by the side and, with
their poles, keep the boat off the rocks. It re-
quires skill, — you do not realize how much
until you reach these places,— even to pole a
boat. We are now waiting in a quiet, peace-
ful place, and hear the shouts of the men as
they are pulling the other boats. There is a
delightful, cool breeze here, good fishing, and
altogether it is
A MOST FASCINATING TRIP.
We cannot study witl\ our teacher while going
through the rapids, for we cannot have his
extra weight in our boat.
Nov. 29. — Thanksgiving Day I and we have
so much to be thankful for!* An additional
cause to night is that we are safe out of the
rapids, boats, men and all. They are really
dangerous. This afternoon we walked around
the last of them. Now we are nine days from
Chieng Mai, well and happy.
Dec. 2. — This is our last Sunday on the river.
Friday we met the fourth boat going to meet
Dr. McGilvary's party; the good Chieng Mai
friends, Mrs. Harris in particular, sent us more
mail, some eggs, and more guava jelly. Mr.
Harris is very anxious to have Mr. Palmer
reacli there before he leaves for Mission Meet-
ing, and has ordered a double set of polemen
to make it, if possible. This is a beautifid
country; we are out from the mountains but
can see them from a distance on all sides.

gone one hour. When the captain told us it

would bo impossible for the boats to reach
Chieng Mai by Mr. Harris' date, we asked if
there was an overland route by which we could
make it. Yes, we could stop at a village, walk,
or take an ox cart to Lampoon, eight miles,
there get horses and carriage and drive to
Chieng Mai, eighteen miles, arriving late
Thursday night. We followed that programme
till we reached Lampoon, where we found Mr.
Freeman at home and had supper with him
but his horses and carriage were away. We
finally secured another squeaking

Mrs. Wm. K. Eddy wrote from Sidon, Jan. 26 :
The Reaper has been very busy in my fam-
ily during these last six months, reaping the
bearded grain and the hardly ripe together,
as his manner is. But they are all safely har-
vested, and none of the storms of life nor the
heat of the midday sun can ever reach them
where they are.
To-morrow is to be a great day in our little
church. We are expecting to have the or-
dination and installation of a native pastor
FOR THE FIRST TIME.
Will you not pray for him, his lovely wife and
family, and for the church ? We hope for a
great blessing in connection with the event.
It was a subject that lay very near to my hus-
band's heart. Some of our

which is a constant delight to me.

" India Number" had gone to press:
A year ago I wrote about the great need for
teachers here and asked for help to train yoxing
men and their wives. Several responded to
that appeal, and I wrote to those givers whose
names came to me ; to others I have not been
able to say "Thank you," but no doubt all
have had rainbows in their souls. They ought
to, for their gifts have done so much good. We
put each new man and his wife in a village
with, or near to, a preacher who teaches them
evenings and mornings; in the daytime all go
to teach a school. The preacher goes with each
new man once or twice a week, examines his
work and shows him how. In this way the

Christian household — grandmothers, mothers,
etc. He could teach only men and boys, but the
women set up a cry for his wife to come.
There was no empty house in the place, so we
gave them a wigwam. They put down rice
straw and I gave them an old comforter and
two blankets, for it is cold and the winter
rains are on. They did not murmur against a
thin cloth tent, but seemed happy in having a
chance to teach the new religion. The oldest
girl was in Rakha school and can help her
mother with the teaching. The salary of this
family is $2. 66 J a month. The young woman
who supports them has made
A SPLENDID INVESTMENT.
She writes that she earns the money by paint-
ing and fancy work.
Another young woman supports a teacher
and we went last Sunday to see his work. His
family are also living in a little tent.
FORTY-FOUR WERE BAPTIZED AS A RESULT
of his work, and had it not been dark and
cloudy (and I eight miles away waiting for
him), Mr. Bandy could have stayed till night
and baptized fifty more. Thanks to friends, we
now have a tonga in which we can sleep and
carry provisions. Two horses draw it and we
take our saddles, so it is possible to get over
the whole district about once in six weeks.
During this tour we held communion services,
examined schools and baptized 267.
When we were in San Francisco, a young
woman used to cross the Bay every few days
to attend a matinee, and she always bought
twenty five cents worth of violets
JUST BECAUSE IT WAS HER FAD.
Do you know I coveted that twenty-five cents
for a teacher out here ! It seemed to me that
people had to invent ways to spend their
money. Could a fad be started for training a
teacher or educating a Christian village ? Just
now we are camped on the edge of Singhar-

KOREA.
Rev. Walter C. Erdman wrote from Taiku,
March 5 :
"Nothing to do but study the language!"
As if that were not enough. Language is called
the "vehicle of thought," and this Korean
tongue may be a vehicle of some sort but it is
far from being an automobile. Indeed, there
is not anything automatic about it — it is more
like a wheelbarrow. It won't go unless you
push it all the time. The handles by which one
picks up Korean are not so conveniently ar-
ranged and prominent as those of a wheelbar-
row. It is easy to understand that if you do
not " feed your clock " it will "die," but why
should a deaf person be referred to as one who
' ' eats his ear " ? Esperanto will never be a suc-
cess in Korea. I know nothing about it except
that it looks like a damaged Russian alphabet
and sounds like a broken phonograph, but its
admirers exult in its simplicity, therefore it
would never do for these people. If they can-
not think up the most roundabout and in-
volved way of expressing an idea, they
PREFER NOT TO TALK AT ALL.
The people in this section are wretchedly
poor but they are not wholly responsible foi
that. It is the squalor of their mud hut homes
that has a depressing effect on the passing
traveler. But Koreans are capable of immense-
ly better things and will realize them, too —
provided the Japanese leave them any rights
and property as a basis for effort. This is still
problematical. There could not be a better
endowment for insuring progress than a spir-
itual nature deeply responsive to the best
things, such as is abundantly witnessed to by
THE REVIVAL THAT IS SWEEPING OVER
the Christian communities of Korea You will
have heard from Pyeng Yang, where it began,
and we have not been without our blessing
here in Taiku. It is felt throughout Korea
with manifestations like those in Wales, India,
and Shantung — meetings protracte'd and
marked by deep conviction of sin, .spontaneous
prayer and open confession followed by free-
dom of testimony and life of more real conse-
cration. To us it came in answer to special
prayer, at the time of the men's winter Bible
class. A religion that leads men to public con-
fession of sin has strange power in the eyes of
non-Christian.s. Why should the.se men humil-
iate themselves ? No one compels them to do
it. Korean Christians are learning that Cliris-
tianity is not a profession, nor observance of
forms of worship, but a life controlled by the
indwelling Spirit. Would that more Christians
at home would learn that, too.
ADDITIONAL ABOUT REVIVAL.
Mrs. W. M. Baird wrote from Pyeng Yang :
God is with us in power. It has been very
wonderful as well as very di-eadful. It began
with us missionaries, really. We all felt the
need of more communion with God and met
every evening for a week of prayer. At the
end of the week we still felt unsatisfied, so we
agreed to meet every day at noon to pray for
the infilling of the Holy Spirit. . . . Seven
hundred men were in attendance on the win-
ter training class, which, with men members
of local churches, made something like
eighteen hundred men present
in evening meetings. Sometimes this whole
audience would break into audible prayer at
once and continue for several minutes ; dozens
of men would spring to their feet at once to
make confession of sin and stand an hour or
more waiting their turn. And such confes-
sions! From one or two murders down to
hatreds, spites, envyings; and confessed with
what shame and remorse! Sometimes they
would stand for several minutes, trying in
vain to utter an intelligible word, and end by
casting themselves headlong to the floor. One
man whom we all love and trust sat one night
tearing his hair, rocking back and forth, beat-
ing his breast. I suppose if ever the devils
tore any one they tore that man, but at last
the Holy Spirit prevailed. He rushed to the
platform and began to speak with sobs; with-
out waiting to hear what he was going to say
the whole congregation broke into loud
crying. The poor man seemed hardly able to
stand, and Mr. Lee, who was leading the meet-
ing, held him in his arms while he confessed
to grievous sins and then sank on the floor.
Evening meetings in the big church were con-
tinued for women only, with the same mani
festations, and those among ourselves have
not been so very different. No one has mur-
der to confess but every one has been brought
face to face with faults and shortcomings and
led TO SEE HOW GRIEVING TO THE SAVIOUR
it has all been ; sometimes for an hour or two
we have all sat and wept together and asked
forgiveness of God and of each other. We
asked for the infilling Spirit, and what we
have received so far has been the purifying
Spirit. If I should try to put my annual mes-
sage into a sentence, it would be :
REJOICE, REJOICE, KEEP ON PRAYING.

UNITED STUDY IN A SUBURBAN TOWN.
A reporter for a city daily came to ask about the women's clubs of our town
and I mentioned our church organizations, including the Mission Study Class. At
once she was all alert. "Interdenominational ? That must be something impor-
tant ! I never heard of this before. What do you study ? How many ladies belong ?
Several years ? Books specially prepared ? Who writes them ?" After half an hour
of copious note-taking from the prefaces of the United Study text-books, she went
away the happy possesser of a " find " for her " Woman's Page." H. P. D.
" The last island we have to visit is Sumatra. . . . The Battas in the center and north-
west were heathen. . . . Now the greater part have become Christians. — Christus Redemp-
tor, p. 211.
No Study Class in America should turn this leaf without a pause and a reverent thought
for two young Americans, the first Protestant missionaries to Sumatra, who perished at the
hands of the Batta cannibals in 1834. Spirited Henry Lyman was only twenty-four years old.
Samuel Munson was his senior by six years, a man of patience and judgment. Both were
trained in medicine as well as ordained to the gospel ministry. Sketches may be found in
Memorials of Missionaries by Pierson (Harper's). The Martyr of Sumatra, a Memoir of Ly-
man, was published by Robert Carter & Brothers, 1856.
Some of Henry Lyman's sayings: " Every month seems a year till I can preach to the
natives in their own tongue." — "The Lord help me to be fearless and humble, without being
reckless." — " At home, I used to say, 'Jesus Christ will sustain me in all times of trouble.'
Now, dear mother, I can say, 'Jesus Christ does sustain me,' and the nearer danger and death
come, the more desirable does Heaven appear."
THE DUFF HYMN AGAIN.
The observant eyes of more than one
friend have discovered certain errors in
the version which was printed in the
March issue of this Magazine, pages 64,
65. An " Elect Lady " of above three-
score and ten writes from Connecticut :
" In your version of ' The Duff Hymn ' there
is a curious mistake, found I think in other
Presbyterian Hymnals also. The fourth verse
closes with the words :
How cm I sink with such a prop
That bears the world and all things upl
"The correct version is in Dr. Nettleton's
Village Hymns, where the lines are given thus:
My anchor, hope, shall firm .ibide
And I each boisterous storm outride.
"Now a prop is not used in mid ocean, or
on the ocean, but an anchor is. I think I rec
ognize the origin of the phrasing, for I was
not brought up on Watts and Select Hymns for
nothing! On page 181 of Book Second, you
will find:
How can I sink with such a prop
As my Eternal God,
Who bears the earth's hu!;e pillars up
And spreads the heavens abroad ? "
This is conclusive. If Toplady wrote
the hymn {Collection, 1776) — and ar-
guments in favor of De Courcy have
nothing to stand on — he never was
guilty of such a blundering term as
"prop." The " anchor " has also been
discovered by Mrs. Niemyer of Grand
Rapids, Mich., who makes a happy
correction of another word in the sec-
ond line of the same fourth stanza.
Instead of " pathway," a land word, she
gives "passage," which is consistent
with the entire hymn about The Chris-
tian's Voyage. Slie has also sent the
valuable information that the hymn is
set to the tune Lischer, so, to that sweet
and cheerful tune, in the spirit of the
Duff passengers, we will revive the old
hymn and always sing "anchor" —
never " prop."
Mrs. Niemyer found her version "in
grandmother's hymn-book called Plym-
outh Collection"' (A. S. Barnes & Co.,
1855,) and again in English Hy mns and
Their Origin, by Dr. Duffield. Her quo-
tation makes the anchor outride the
storm while, in that given above, it is
the voyager himself who, leaning on the
firm anchor, gets safely to shore. Read-
ers can take their choice. The fourth
stanza complete is therefore :
Though rocks and quicksands deep
Through all my passage lie,
Yet Christ will safely keep.
And guide me with His eye.
My anchor, hope, shall firm abide.
And every boisterous storm outride.
Or, And leach boistetous storm outride.

done so before. If we could, or would, remem-
ber that schools must go on, native helpers as
well as missionaries must live during these
summer months, and relaxing on our part
necessitates the General Assembly's Board bor-
rowing thousands of dollars, and paying inter-
est. This interest amounts to a large sum and
would open some new work, which has been

There will be as usual, next month, a short
account of Annual Meeting in Detroit, which
the societies will have in full in the Annual
Repoi't. We hope it will be in the hands of
the secretaries in July. It is one of the most
important publications of this Board, prepared
with great care and large expense, and solely
for the use and information of societies. It is
worth careful study. Preserve it for frequent

Bright sunshine and a crowded room marked
the morning of the monthly meeting of the
Board, April 3. Mrs. Ogden from Africa, Mrs.
Hall fx'om Iloilo and Mrs. McCauley from Ja-
pan were present, and many had an oppor-
tunity to speak with them. Dr. Lucas from
Allahabad, India, and Mr. Campbell White of
Pittsburgh spoke of the privileges of telling
the good news, and the feeble way Christian
people are responding; 675,000,000 people are
still absolutely without knowledge of the gos-
pel, and if the Christian people of America
would all give only a carfare a week there
would be some hope of living up to the respon
sibility of our "high calling." It was good to
hear that thirty business men have already
started, at their own expense, to visit and ex-
amine for themselves the missions abroad, and
it is hoped more will start soon, with the pur-
pose of rousing the interest of Christian men
at home on their return.
On April 4, the Presbyterial Society of Syra
cuse celebrated its thirtieth anniversary in the
Elmwood Church of Syracuse. A paper was
read on "Thirty Years of Progress," including
the financial statement, and an address in the

S. M. Jordan of Teheran, Persia.
The Summer offering will be for the com-
pletion of the medical compound at Hamadan,
Persia. The sum of $3,000 is asked for and this
will provide for furnishing and equipment of
the Hospital, and the erection of a physician's
residence. Leaflets may be had on applica-
tion at 156 Fifth Ave., Room 818.
In the Statistical Report of subscriptions to
Woman's Work, presented to the managers
at their monthly meeting, it was shown that
the New York Board runs behind last year's
record by two. Cannot these two subscribers
be found this year, and many more, who will
discover what a fund of information about
Foreign Missions is to be had in that interest-
ing magazine ?
It is a curious thing that, by many, the
office of Secretary of Literature is regarded
as of secondary importance. Every trade,
every political organization, counts the judi
cious aistribution of its literature — for which
untold sums are expended — most important.

its auxiliaries, presby terial or local, place shall

When this issue of Woman's Work is re-
ceived the Thirty fifth Annual Meeting will be
numbered with the things of the past. Every
attendance at Annual Meeting brings added
responsibility. Unless we return to our soci-
eties resolved, with God's help, to do more and
better work, and to consecrate ourselves more
fully to the spread of the Redeemer's kingdom,
it had been better for us to have remained at
home. May we not hope and earnestly pray
that this thirty-fifth meeting may be produc
tive of a quickened and intelligent zeal for
our Master's work ?
We bespeak a careful reading of the annual
reports. Let each society give itself to a dili
gent study of them and see where its own
record has come short and can be improved.
Interesting letters have been received from
Mr. Lingle and Mr. Rodgers. C. E. Societies
can find much in these letters for thanksgiv-
ing, as well as for more earnest prayer, for the
work and for their representatives.

The new fiscal year has begun and no doubt
the societies are already laying plans for next
year. Our forces liave been enlarged, in many
of the Presbyteries there has been a readjust
ment of boundaries, and many churches have
been reorganized. The new officers will find
the work of the incoming year very difficult,
but patience and perseverance, with prayer
for guidance from the source of all wi.sdorn,
will do wonders, and in a few years all the
difficulties will have been straightened out,
and we shall rejoice in stronger churches and
larger and more active auxiliaries.
The year just clo.sed brought one very sat-
isfactorjr item of progress,— our Board in-
creased the number of new subscriptions to
Woman's Work by 203, almost every Synod
having made a substantial "forward move-
ment." It follows that interest will increase,
and gifts, and work, and prayer. Information
always adds these in the work of Foreign Mis-
sions.
The missionary letters of the month were
unusually inspiring, — extracts from them will
appear in the Board's Aiinual Report. The re-
cent revival in Korea, with its wonderful ef-
fect upon the church in Pyeng Yang, was the
theme of Mrs. Baird's letter, enclosed with it
being the letter from a native Korean Christian
woman, which was so touching in its grati-
tude to the Church at home that it brought
tears to many eyes. Mrs. Dager's letter was
unusually good, even for her, showing the
progress in West Africa and telling of the
freedom of access to women of all tribes. The
Dagers will return for their furlough some
time this coming summer.
There is always danger at this time of the
year of lying back upon the achievements of
the last months of the preceding year and
leaving the bulk of the work for the end of
the next year. You will find by consulting
your Treasurer's books that one half of all the
money collected by the societies comes in in
the last three months. If you begin imme-
diately after the books close to plan and work
for the new year, you will find a very much
greater reserve fund of energy for the final
spurt on the homestretch. Begin early, begin
right now.

dollars for a Bible reader in China, and pre-
senting the same to Secretary Speer, I find the
Secretary engaged in trying to solve a problem
in arithmetic, as to how a figure three can be
made to do the work of five, so as to make the
money in the treasury of the Board go around.
With an anxious face he replies:
" Why do you insist on attaching your gifts
to the work of particular persons ? Can you
not give it as generously to a parish or station ?
Could a government ever carry on a war if
each taxpayer stipulated that his taxes should
go to a certain regiment, and a certain com-
pany, to buy hard tack for a certain soldier on
a given day ? Leave the missions free to put
your money where, f romasurvey of their whole
work, it seems most needed." So a practical
lesson was learned. Let us all abide by it.

TREASURERS' REPORTS.

The Occidental Board, in holding its Annual
Meeting in Los Angeles, meets face to face
many who could not take the long journey to
San Francisco. Meanwhile, here, presbyterial
meetings are of unusual interest. Oakland
■called us to Centennial Church, East Oakland,
Rev. O. E. Hart, pastor. A good attendance
and an earnest spirit pervaded ; husbands came
with their wives in some cases, a new de-
parture. The devotional hour at noon led by
Mrs. Taylor, mother of our missionary, was
intensely spiritual. The leader, resting on
Scripture arguments, pleaded for a deeper love
to Christ, a more ready giving of self to the
work of missions. Every prayer of the many
offered was full of fervor and must have laid
hold upon God. Mrs. Gamble of Haywards,
president, planned the meeting and presided
most ably. The clouds were threatening, yet
seventy-five sat at the luncheon table.
At the afternoon service, we were addressed
by Dr. Denman of Laos, Mr. Hummel of Af-
rica, and Mrs. Moffett of Korea. The latter
gave us recent news of the great revival at
Pyeng Yang. Benevolent women and men had
a new impulse to give, to do and to pray for
these and for all missionaries. Mrs. Posey of
Oakland read a very instructive paper on
"Mohammedanism as a Present Menace." All
reports of the Society were presented. Oak-
land came almost to the $3,000 mark. East
Oakland even reaching $760. Other Presby-
teries must look to their laurels. A few chil-
dren came in near the close with violins and
other stringed instruments and played exquis-
itely the air of "Abide with Me."

Bangkok, where we spent five days and en-
joyed every minute. We saw the white ele-
phants, of course, in the royal stables, the pal-
ace grounds, and the loats, or temples. . . .
The novel and interesting part of the whole
trip between home and my destination was the
river trip in a house boat. . . . We came into
Lakawn Monday evening before Thanksgi vin g.
It did seem so good to reach a place I could
call home again. I have been assigned to the
Boys' School, and I am very glad I came to
Laos and to Lakawn. The people are very in-
teresting, and I like them.
At the March meeting of our Board we had
the pleasure and privilege of hearing Rev. F.
E. Hoskins, D.D,, who has been a missionary
in Syria 34 years. While he and his family are
on furlough in this country, Dr. Hoskins came
West on a lecturing tour. He spoke five times
in Portland to large audiences. His lecture
on "Petra, or East of the Jordan," was con-
sidered one of the finest and most imique ad-
dresses we have ever had here. At our Board
meeting he told us about the censorship of the
Press in Turkey, revealing to us some of the
difficulties which much enduring missionaries
must meet and overcome.
Sunday afternoon of March 17, at Calvary
Church, Portland societies had the opportunity
(which they appreciated very much) of hear-
ing Dr. Howard Agnew Johnston tell of his
two years' missionary tour around the world.
At the last communion in the Chinese Mis-
sion our hearts were made glad by the baptism
of two adults, a young business man of Port-
land and a mother, with her child. At the
previous communion, the husband of this wo-
man came alone and brought two older chil-
dren for baptism. The mother then was not fully
persuaded, and her husband said to Mrs. Holt,
" I do not want to over-persuade her, but we
will pray that she may be led."
Annual Reports will be in the hands of pres-
byterial secretaries some time this month.
Every officer will receive one, and any one
may have a copy by applying to Mrs. E. C.
Protzman, 365 13th St., Portland. We ask for
these reports a careful reading. They contain
much valuable information and represent both
time and money. Look at the Treasurer's re-
port and find out what your auxiliary. Chris-
tian Endeavor and Band have given in compar-
ison with previous years. Are they increasing
their gifts ? Are they falling behind ? What
can you do about it ?
