HOME MISSIONS

THIRTEENTH AMUAL REPORT.

In presenting to tlie (leneral Assembly its Thirteenth Annual
Report, the Board of Home Missions desires

First^ to thank tlie Great Head of the Church for sparing, during
another year, the lives of His servants, its members and officers,
and to a large extent, the lives of the missionaries and their families
on the field ;

Secondly, to acknowledge its obligations to tlie Presbytei'ies, and
the Home Mission Committees for their invaluable aid in carefully
examining tlie cases recommended for assistance, and in bi'inging
before the churches the needs of the Board ; and

Thirdly, to express its feelings of gratitude to the contributing
churches and liberal friends for their prayers, sympathy and kindly
words of encouragement, as well as for their unprecedented pecu-
niary aid. " The Lord hath done great things for us, whereof we
are glad."

That the General Assembly may have a clear conception of the
work done during the last year by our Board, its prayerful attention
is called first, to the

HOME MISSION DEPAETMENT.

I. THE VASTNESS AND NEEDS OF THE FIELD.

(a) East of the Mississippi River :

There is an impression, more or less general, that the territor}"
lying east of the Mississippi River is no longer missionary ground.
It is supposed to be occupied by a settled population whose interests

2 A N N U A L R E PORT OF T H K [1883.

are fully cared for by the Presbyteries. This is a great mistake.
Porfions of the coast of New Jersey are as needy as that of Oregon
or California; sections of Pennsylvania where oil wells, coal beds
and mines have been discovered lately, need home missionaries as
much as do the Wood River country in Idaho, New Castle in
Washington Territory, and South Pueblo in Colorado ; the lake
and lumber districts of New York call as loudly for the blessings of
the gospel as do the people around Lake Superior or Puget Sound.

Assurances have come to us from the neighborhood of the Mus-
kingum River, in Ohio, from Indiana, Kentucky and Southern
Illinois, tliat there are large towns and populous rural districts in
them, as destitute of Sabbath schools, churches and missionaries as
are some districts along the Platte and the Niobrara Rivers in Ne-
braska, the little towns of Dakota and the extended plains of Texas.
How could it be otherwise ? The Eastern States are filling up almost
as rapidly as the Western, the natives going farther west, foreign-
ers taking their place, while new kinds of industries are starting here
and there that attract multitudes of workmen and their families.
For generations this process will necessarily continue.

Northern Michigan and North-western Wisconsin may be re-
garded as virgin soil. Vast tracts of country are being cleared
on the banks of Lakes Huron and Michigan. Multitudes of people
are pushing into the beautiful bays of the Lower and the hitherto
uninhabited iron regions of the Upper Peninsula. Magnetic ore
was discovered early last spring in Nortliern Wisconsin ; the forest
was felled in April to lay the foundation of the first dwelling, and
by the middle of August of the same year, there were one thousand
people in the place, and a goodly number of Presbytei'ians were
begging for a home missionary. This is a fair sample of scores, if
not hundreds of localities even east of the Great Father of waters.
If the home missionary field were confined to this I'egion, it would
be enough to tax all the powers of the Board to supply its wants.

(b) West of the Mississippi River :

The territory lying West of the Mississippi River, all of which is
now open to us, is beyond our powers to grasp. Taking the three
trans-continental railways, viz : the Northern Pacific, running from

1883.] BOARD OF HOME MISSIONS. 3

the Lakes to Paget Sound ; the Union and Central Pacific connect-
ing Council Bluffs and San Francisco ; and the Southern Pacific and
the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe having their eastern terminus
at New Orleans, and their western at San Diego or the Golden
Gate, we may divide the country into ten great empires, and
consider them one by one. On either side of the Northern Pacific,
running along the British line from the western extremity of Lake
Superior to Frazer River on the Pacific coast, are three great em-
pires eclipsing, in extent of territory, and capability of supporting
life, the thi-ee great empires of Europe, viz : Great Britain, Austria
and Germany.

(1.) MlNNKSOTA AND DaKOTA.

Minnesota and Dakota form the first empire embracing a larger
area of country than Great Britain and Ireland, and surpassing
them in ability to support 35,000,000 of people. It is estimated
that the valley of the Red River of the North alone is capable of
producing all the wheat consumed yearly in the United Kingdom.
This is a land of wheat and barley, of rich soil, salubrious climate,
and admirable railroad facilities ; hence people from every land are
pouring into it. The sturdy farmers of New England, Ohio, Indi-
ana and Illinois; Canadians from the western Provinces; Scandina-
vians, Danes and Norwegians troni Northern Europe; Germans,
Hollanders and the well-to-do farmers and mechanics of Great
Britain and Ireland, are pouring in by the thousand. What a field
for Home Missions !

(2.) Montana and Idaho.
Pushing our way westwai-d, we come to the second empire, com-
posed of Montana and Idaho, with a territory equal in extent to
the French Republic with its 40,000,000 inhabitants and immense
power in the politics and commerce of the world. As yet this is
a frontier region with possibilities beyond the power of the most
sagacious to compute. There are here between twenty and thirty
valleys that are extensive, beautiful and rich in soil. The pasture
on the river banks and the foot hills is unsurpassed. The timber in

the western counties and alono; the Clark's Fork of the Columbia
is abundant and excellent in quality. The mines, so far as they
have been devel<)j)ed, are rich and extensive. Those recently dis-
covered in Idaho promise to cast into the shade any that have as
yet been discovered. Villages, towns, and even cities, spring up
as by magic. Tliis region is yet unreached by railways, except the
north-eastern corner of Montana, by the Northern Pacific, and the
south-western corner of Idaho, by the Utah and Northern; yet the
number of people seeking homes in this region of the Rocky
Mountains is very large. There is no part of the country more
in need of the gospel than this middle empire lying on either side
of the Northern Pacific Road.

(3.) Oregon and Washington Territory.
Oregon and Washington Territory form a third empire larger
in extent than that of Italy and Portugal. This is a land of
beauty, as well as of fertility. Its temperature is mild 'though it
occupies an extreme northern latitude, and much of its soil is
exceedingly rich. It can boast already of large cities like Portland
and Salem, Seattle and Port Townsend. The tide of immigration
has set strongly in this direction. When the Northern Pacific and
the Oregon Short Line are completed, making two great highways
to the East, and the California and Oregon Line, aftording railway
facilities to the South, the tide of immigration will doubtless in-
crease ten-fold. All this is enlarging the home mission field almost
beyond our ability to comprehend.

(4.) Iowa, Nebraska and Kansas.
Taking next tlie Union and Central Pacific, as our course, we
come to Iowa, Nebraska and Kansas, which form a fourth empire
having the most productive agricultural lands in the world. This
empire is about the centre of the United States, and, since agricul-
tural interests are more permanent and sure to retain inhabitants
than the mining or commercial interests, it is destined in time to
teem with a thrifty population. The call for missionaries to this
region, especially to Nebraska, is loud and emphatic. The valleys

1883.] BOARD OF HOME MISSIONS. 5

of the Elk Horn and the Niobrara are filling up with the great
tides of people moving Westward in search of homes and fortunes.

(5.) Colorado, WYf)MiNG and Utah.

The fifth great empire is that of Colorado, Wyoming and Utah,
whicii comprises an area of 286,859 square miles, considerably
larger than that of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The State of
Colorado is the third in size in the American Union. Its area is
nearly twice as large as that of Illinois, and nearly three times
as large as that of Ohio. It is larger than the whole of New
England and New York added to it. It is nearly equal to the
combined areas of New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and
Delaware, which was for many years the entire home mission field
of our Church.

Utah is one of the richest Territories in the land. Though its
main resources are minerals, gold, silver, iron and coal, yet with
its 2,000,000 acres of arable land lying in every degree of altitude
from three thousand to ten thousand feet ; with its great variety
of climate from that of Vicksburg to that of C^hicago ; with its
vast snow deposits on the Wasatch range of mountains to supply
water for irrigation ; with an atmosphere pure and exhilarating ;
and with a soil of surpassing fertility, Utah must become in time
one of the leading agricultural districts of America

Wyoming has afforded as yet only a few minerals and rich pasture
for sheep and cattle, but its resources are undeveloped and even
unknown.

(6.) Nevada and California.

The sixth great empire is that made up of Nevada and Califor-
nia, which embrace an area of territory equal to six States of the
size of New York. Nevada has not as yet given promise of a
great future, but her larger sister, California, makes up for her
deficiencies. This State is eight hundred miles in length, and two
hundred in breadth, with a coast line of eleven hundred miles. It
has 40,000,000 acres of fertile and arable land ; lQ,0Oi 1,000 are
fenced, and 25,000,000 under cultivation. The mines of Califor-

fi ANNUAL KKPOKT OF THE [1883.

nia are known the world over for their number and exhaustless
wealth. With these resources, the enterprise and population of
this State will soon be enormous. But its spiritual destitution is
very great.

(7.) Missouri, Arkansas and the Indian Territory.
Taking now the Southern route across the continent, we reach
tlie seventh empire composed of Missouri with its rolling country,
river bottom lands and Iron Mountain ; Arkansas, with its cotton
tields and medicinal springs ; and the Indian Territory, with its
rich soil but malarial climate. All this region is receiving a goodly
share of the great tide of immigration going westward. Rail-
road facilities are increasing here every month. Arkansas is open-
ing its vast fields and resources to the world. The Indian Territory
is being disturbed by the shrill whistle and ponderous wheels of
the locomotive.

(8.) Texas.
This is in itself'a great empire. It is one-third larger than the
French Republic. A steady stream of substantial and intelligent
people is flowing hither from all the States of the Union, and from
England, Scotland, Germany and Sweden, to raise corn, feed
cattle, pasture sheep and cultivate cotton. The lieterogeneous
people of this State must have the gospel to fit them to become
good citizens of this great republic. Through Texas old Mexico
is to be reached. That country will be benefited or injured
by the condition of Texas.

(9.) New Mexico and Arizona.
New Mexico and Arizona form the ninth empire. This is a vast
and destitute field for missions. Though earlier settled and more
interesting historically than most of the States and Territories,
New Mexico is one of the most backward of them all. It has been
cursed for centuries by the superstition, ignorance and idolatry
of the Church of Rome. The people are degraded and thriftless.
They have not as yet caught the spirit of the age, nor contributed
their quota towards improving their temporal condition. Still,

1883.] BOARD OF HOME MISSIONS. 7

valuable mines have been discovered, and fresh population is pour-
ing into the valleys of New Mexico. Railroads are penetrating the
country, and the demand for missionaries is very urgent.

Arizona has an area about as large as New England and New
York combined. This region is dotted here and there with the
miner's camp, the herder's ranche, and the pueblos of the Indians.
The untold wealth of gold, silver and copper cropping out in
different places is attracting labor and capital. The broad plains
covered with rich grasses are inviting the herder and the stock
raiser. New Mexico and Arizona will, in the near future, occupy
important places in the great galaxy of States. The call already
from this region for teachers and missionaries is loud and pressing.
The destitution is heart-rending, and the wickedness of the people
appalling !

(10.) Alaska.

The tenth empire eclipses all the others in the extent of its terri-
tory, the magnitude of its rivers, the glory of its glaciers, and the
height of its mountains. Alaska is as large as the thirteen origi-
nal States of the American Republic, with a territory equal to that
of New York and New England added to them. Its great forests
are yet unknown, its mines are undeveloped, its fisheries are hardly
heard of, and its seal trade has only begun. What population may
yet pour into the Islands on its coast where the climate is mild and
the means of subsistence easily obtained, no one can tell. Already
there are here from thirty thousand to forty thousand Indians
wholly dependent on our Church for their education and religious
advantages.

What a field of missions this new West is presenting to the
Church of to-day ! " In all the past," writes some one, " there is
no parallel to the rapid development now going on west of the
Mississippi. Railroads are being built in every direction, and with
the railroad are everywhere going settlement and improvement. The
strong tide of immigration already reaches the base of the Rocky
Mountains where its great currents are passing on to the Pacific
Ocean. Mexico feels the mighty influence of railroads, begun or
assured, and is destined to undergo the most wonderful transfor-

8 ANNUAL RIO PORT OF THE [1883.

Illation. With all her rich resources, she will take her place as one
ot the most important provinces in that commercial eiin)ire whose
westernmost centre is on San Francisco Bay."

II. THE LABORERS IN THE FIELD.
The successful prosecution of an undertaking depends largely
on the number and character of those engaged in it. If the
number be inadequate, progress will be slow and success doubtful ;
if their character be indifferent, the results of their eiforts will be
unsatisfactory. The number of men commissioned by the Board
during the last year was 101 larger than that of the preceding year ;
and their character is fully up to the standard of those of former
years. There were last year 1101 under commission against 1303
the year before. These may be classitied as Synodical Missionaries,
Home Missionaries, and Theological students.

(L) Synodical Missionaries.
It is nnnecessary to state in a report to the General Assembly
that these are in no sense higher ecclesiastically than their brethren,
the Home Missionaries. No Presbytery in the land guards the
parity of the ministry and the polity of the Presbyterian Church
with more jealons care than does the Board of Home Missions. It
looks upon all the men whom it commissions as peers and brethren
Ijeloved. Synodical Missionaries are only ministers on a wider
field, and called to perform more varied duties than the Home
Missionaries. They are nominated by the Synod, and appointed
by the Board for special work, which the pastors cannot perform
by reason of home duties and the extent of the territory. They
are expected to visit every portion of the Synod, to inquire into its
spiritual needs, to follow the rapid growth of the population within
its bounds, and to recommend to the Presbyteries the planting of
churches in such places as in their judgment may seem best. The
Board regards them as invaluable agencies, in the new States and
Territories, but not to be employed, except under special circum-
stances in the older States, which are covered and amply cared for
by the Presbyteries. Of the thirteen Synodical Missionaries em-
ployed by the Board, only three are east of the Mississippi River.

By comparing the list given above with the number of ministers
in our Church, it will be seen that ours is pi'e-eniinently a mission-
ary Chui'ch. We have always claimed this honorable distinction,
and in the face of the figures given above, no one will venture to
deny it. This large number of missionary pastors may, on
the other hand, lead the captious to regard our Church as weak,
but the truth is, the spirit of missions runs so high that it keeps us
constantly in the van of Christian progress.

It may be of interest to the General Assembly to know where
the Board finds most of its missionaries, what are the qualifications
demanded of them, and the principles upon which they are located.

{a) Where the missionaries are ohtained:

A large number of tliem have come to their present fields in
the ordinary way, by preaching as candidates. In such cases,
the Board has had only to appropriate the sum of money
recommended by the Presbytery for their support. In must

10 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE [1883.

cases, however, the Board has been relied on to select the men
as well as to supply the means. It has, of late, drawn largely
from the Theological Seminaries. Some of the brightest and best
students have been induced to go out to the frontiers. Many who
would have been called to prominent pulpits in the large cities of
the East and the West, have received their commissions from the
Board to preach the Gospel in barns, railway stations, and lager
beer saloons. During the last two years the Board has also
sought out young and successful pastors in New York, New
Jersey, and Pennsylvania, and sent them to the prairies of Dakota,
the silver mines of Colorado and Montana, and to the plains of
Texas. When it has a peculiar field to supply, the Board always
looks for a peculiar man to supply it.

(b) The qualifiGationa demanded :

The Board has learned by long experience that men who do
not succeed in the older parts of the country, will not succeed
in the West. The acuteness of the western mind, the restlessness
of the people, the peculiar temptations arising from their state of
society, and the difficulty of the work, call for sound sense, the
highest mental cultm'e, great tact, the most ardent piety, and
boundless self-denial.

{g) The principle on which they are located :

As far as possible the Board allows the missionaries to select
their own field. But it has regard always to the adaptability of the
man to the climate and the place. Those predisposed to consump-
tion are not sent to the humid climate of Alaska or Puget Sound, but
to that of Colorado or New Mexico ; those suffering from catarrhal
affections are not assigned ])laces in the great altitudes of the
Rocky Mountains, but on the plains of Nebraska or the prairies of
Dakota; those troubled with rheumatism are not located on our
bleak northern frontier, or on the sea coast with its raw easterly
winds, but in districts where these troubles are scarcely known.

(3.) Theological Students.
During the last year fifty-seven members of the middle classes

1883.]

BOARD OF HOME MISSIONS,

11

in our Theological Seminaries were appointed by the Board to
preach the gospel in places where summer services only were
needed, or where it was not certain whether or not a permanent
church was called for, or at the important outposts of rapidly
growing congregations. Only one opinion has been expressed by
the Presbyteries within whose bounds they have labored, and by
the Synodical Missionaries and Home Mission Committees who
have asked for their services, and that is most favorable to their
zeal and efficiency. In one or two cases, a church was built by
the student during the four months of his stay. In other cases,
the foundation was laid for u good organization, and a demand
created for a more permanent ministry. In a few instances it was
shown th'at the place and the people were not ready for a Presby-
erian church. The benelit which these students have derived from
the exercise of their preaching powers, and the knowledge of hu-
man nature which they have gained, are invaluable. It has given
them facility in expressing their thoughts, and confidence in their
ability to interest a congregation. It is hoped that many of them
have also acquired a taste for mission work, and that they will
devote themselves to it at tiie expiration of their seminary course.

(4.) Deaths.

Of the goodly army of missionaries aided by the Board, the fol-
lowing fell during the year with their armour on, viz. :

All fought a good fight, kept the faith, and entered into the joy
of their Lord. " Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from
henceforth; yea. saitli the Spirit, that they may rest from their
labors, and their works do follow them." But where are those who
will step forward to fill the broken ranks?

111. THE WORK DONE DURING THE YEAR.
It is impossible to estimate the amount of work done by 1387

12 ANNUAL REPOKT OF THE [188Ji.

pious and educated men thoroughly devoted to the temporal and
spiritual interests of those among whom thej live. When we say
that they have preached the gospel to thousands who would not
have heard it but for them ; that they have administered the Sac-
rament of the Lord's Supper for the edification of God's people ;
that they have applied the sealing ordinance of baptism to many
children of believers ; that they have carried the comforts and
consolations of the gospel to aiHicted and desolate homes; that
they have followed to the grave the remains of many loved dead ;
and assured the surviving friends of a resurrection at the last day;
we have mentioned only a tithe of what they have done. The in-
direct labor performed, and the incidental good done are beyond
all computation. They have exerted a beneficial influence over tho
morals of the community, on the legislation of the State, and even
on the business interests of the towns and surrounding country.
The judgment day alone will reveal all the hallowed fruits of their
labor. But let us be more specific.

(1.) New Churches Organized.

"It is obvious," says Dr. Hall, " that the results of evangelistic
labor are intended of God to crystallize into a congregation, and so
become powers for good. Elders are to be ordained, the machinery
of Christian work is to be set up. Places are to be found, and
work designated for the possessors of gifts, and the channels are
to be opened up through which the streams of continuous bene-
ficence may flow." During the last year the labor of our 1387
missionaries resulted in the organization of 136 churches having a
large number of Ruling Elders, and complete machinery for effect-
ive work in the future. No mind can com])ute, or sagacity foresee,
the amount of blessed influence that will proceed from these centres
of spiritual light and power.

(«) Strategic points only taken :

As yet the Board has been able only to seize strategic points or
centres of influence. The number of men available, and the
amount of money contributed by the Church have not enabled us
to go beyond this. No distinction is made as to the value of the

1883.] BOARD OF HOME MISSIONS. 13

souls to be reached, but regard is always bad to the places where
the most wide-spread influence can be exerted. This was the
method adopted by the Apostles of our Lord, and we are safe in
copying their example. It is believed that if our-Church is strong
at the commercial centres, the light will soon irradiate the sur-
rounding country.

(h) Mission Work in the Cities :

There was a marked, perhaps an unprecedented advance of our
work during the past year, in large and rapidly growing cities.
In ]Sew York and other wealthy cities, where it can be done, it
is unquestionably the duty of the churches themselves to support
their missions. But, where they have not the ability, the Board
ouglit to help them. During tlie past year, by the aid of the Board,
one Mission Church was organized in Omaha, one in Kansas City,
two in Denver, and three in Portland, Oregon. These are well
located, so as to meet the wants of the growing poj)ulation, and
the) are doing good work. They will soon become not only self-
su])porting, but sources of supply to new and struggling congrega-
tions throughout Nebraska, Missouri, Colorado and Oregon.

(<•) Efforts in hehalf of the exceptional and foreign populations :

Commendable efforts were made during the past year, to supply

the spiritual need of the Indian, the Mexican and the Mormon. We

have not only teachers to instruct the children, but missionaries to

superintend the sehool work and preach the gospel.

AV^e have taken important steps also towards reaching the Ger-
mans who flock in such large numbers to our shores. A German
Synodical Missionary at large is employed to ascertain and supply
the wants of his countrymen. Scandinavians, Italians, Hungarians,
French, Danes, Welsh and Dutcli have been helped from our
treasury, and preached to by our missionaries. But much more
ought to be done for them during this and the succeeding year.

(2.) Old and Decaying Churches Strengthened.'
The Board is of the opinion that the churches in the East which
are depleted by emigration, should be cared foi- by the Presby-

14 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE [1883.

teries, and aided by the Board. Besides, the hope is entertained
that the now declining churches may be again full and flourishing.
" Wiiile the great work of Home Missions in the new portions of the
country," says another, "should be prosecuted with vigor, these old
States must be won and held for the Master. In them is the
fountain-head of the work, the source of supplies ; and if the
Church declines here, she is dying at the heart. The thorough
evangelization of New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio and the other
older States, means the extension of the work to the utmost bounds
of our country, and men and means for Christ's cause throughout
the world."

(3.) Churches Brought to Self Support.

Commendable progress was made by the churches during the
past year in the direction of self-support. 37 churches bade
us an affectionate fai'ewell, but gave us ample assurance of their
kindly feelings towards us, and of their determination to help fill
our treasury in the future. The joy experienced by these churches
at finding that they could walk alone, surpassed, according to their
own statement, all their anticipation.

(4.) Sabbath Schools Started.

The Board of Home Missions does not regard the Church and
the Sabbath-school as separate institutions resting on different
bases, and having different work to perform, but as two depart-
ments of the same glorious work. Instead of drawing the line
between them, instead of making it sharper and more defined, the
Board would be glad to obliterate it altogether. The missionary
churches are expected to look upon the Sabbath-school as a
portion of their own field, regarding the teachers as their helpers,
and the scholars as the children of their love over whom they
yearn with tenderness, and for whose welfare they offer up the
prayer of faith.

It is expected of all the missionaries of the Board, not only to es-
tablish Sabbath-schools wherever needed, but to see that they are
supplied with teachers and cared for spiritually. Fom* or five

1883,] BOARD OF HOME MISSIONS. 15

schools are often placed under the superintendence of one mission-
ary, and it is seldom if ever that any of them die.

(5.) Revivals.
After years of coldness and desolation in the Church throughout
the land, it is refreshing to be able to record an extensive work of
grace in our mission churches on the frontiers. Drops of blessings
have fallen on many iields, and even showers of grace have visited
a number of regions. One missionary wrote to ns early in the year
of a little cloud rising from the sea of apathy and indifference ; an-
other, of a going in the tops of the mulberry trees ; a third, of a
copious shower ; and a fourth, of abundant rain. Sinners were
converted; back-sliders quickened; wanderers restored; and
worldly professors made more spiritual.

(6.) Schools and Colleges Founded.

True to the past traditions of the Church, our missionaries seek
wherever they go to found the school and the college, as well as
the church. During the last year a college was located at Fergus
Falls, Minnesota ; at Casselton, Dakota ; at Salt Lake City, Utah ;
at Santa Fe, New Mexico; at Emporia, Kan. ; and at Waitsburg,
Washington Territory.

Whether or not these institutions will grow in strength, aid the
church, and bless the world, remains to be seen. If the whole
burden of their endowment and care is left to the brethren on the
field, they will be failures. New countries need aid for their
educational as well as their religious institutions. In the past, the
Presbyterian Church has stood foremost as the patron of education,
but alas ! now it is falling behind nearly all other denominations.
Can she dispense with the aid which colleges and high schools afford
her mission work ? Is she forgetting what Washington and Jef-
ferson Colleges did for Pennsylvania, Western Reserve for North-
ern Ohio, Wabash and Hanover for Indiana? No denomination
which neglects to educate the youth of the country, can hold the
first rank in influence and numbers. It is time, therefore, for our
Church to organize a Committee or Board which shall locate wisely.

and endow amply institutions for tlie higher education of our youth
of both sexes.

IV. THE FUNDS.

The receipts of tlie Board fioni all sources during the past year
amounted to $504,795.61. This sum exeeds the receipts of the pre-
vious year by $81,400.76, and $129,550.03 of the year preceding
that. This shows a safe and steady progress in the financial con-
ditiou of the Board.

The Assembly will be interested to know the sources whence
this money has come to our treasury.

The firH is the giving churches throughout the Land. This is
the largest and most reliable source. The contributions from the
churches during the year just ended amounted to $306,059.83, or
$43,529.35 in excess of the year before. Though there must be
more or less fluctuation even in this arising from the financial con-
dition of the country, yet it is not like a mountain torrent, now
overflowing its banks and anon leaving its channel dry and dusty.
It is rather the still and steady stream flowing from perennial
springs which lie beyond the reach of change and caprice. This
must always be the main dependence of the Board.

The second source is the Sahhath-school. Though small as yet,
it is notwithstanding like the other, a living and perennial stream.
The Sabbath-school, like the church, will continue, and the hearts
of the children will direct their hands to help the Avork of home
evangelization. It is gratifying to be able to say that this import-
ant tributary is on the increase. Sessions of churches and Sabbath-
school superintendents should see that the children have an oppor-
tunity to contribute to this cause.

The third, source of revenue is the sjjecial donations. This
reached during the last year the sum of $51,263.53, or $23,046.90
less than the preceding. It would be interesting to know the
history of all the contributions that came to us during the year.
Some of them were thank-ofl'erings for the restoration to health of
a devoted husband or a beloved wife, a lovely child or a dear rela-
tive. Some were recognitions of God's hand in protecting lives
during a voyage at sea, or a journey through foreign lands. Some

of them were feeble returns to the Giver of all good for unexpected
prosperity in business, or for sums of money left by a departecl
friend. Some were the little earnings of the children, the pennies
of the poor, or the savings of the invalid. Many of these donations
came to the treasury bathed in tears, or radiant with the benedic-
tions of the aged and the young. How sacred is some of the
money expended on the evangelization of this land !

The fourth source is the legacies of the departed. These are
more sacred, if possible, than the donations just named. They are
left us by men and women on the verge of eternity as they con-
templated their translation to a higher and better state of being.
The money received from legacies during the past year amounted
to $117,780.06 of this, $72,000 came to the treasury from the exec-
utors of the late Francis P. Schoals, Esq. ; $50,000 have been
lately left us in the will of the Hon. W. E. Dodge, and $150,000
in that of Ex-Governor Morgan. It is hoped that the churches
and liberal friends will not depend on these sacred trusts to carry
on the work of Home Missions during this year. It is by no means
certain that any portion of them will be available foi- some time.
Even if all should be paid soon, this money ought to be devoted to
advancing the great cause, so as to keep pace with the progress
of the country. Some of those who have left us smaller sums
than the above named, have done just as much for their country,
according to their ability.

The fifth source of the Board'' s reveniie is the interest of the jyer-
manent funds. As the rate of interest is yearly growing less, the
sum received from this source must decline. Notwithstanding, we
received last year from this source $9,481.26. Larger or smaller
sums are left from year to year to increase the permanent fund. It
would be a matter of profound thankfulness if this were made
sufficiently large to yield annually enough to meet all the expenses
of the Board, so that 100 cents on every dollar contributed would
go to the support of missionaries on the field. As it is we are
happy to say that about 97 cents on a dollar go directly to the
carrying on of the work.

The last source is the missionary boxes. Though the money
collected in this way does not go through the treasury of the

18 ANNUAL BEPOKT OF THE [1883.

Board, nor diminisli its ex]jendituro by rendering a smaller salary
sufficient to its missionaries, yet these boxes do aftbrd great help to
many, and they are acknowledged in our periodicals. They
carry untold joy and gladness to tlie missionary. They help
to clothe him and to make comfortable his loved household.
They often form that important link which enables him to make
both ends meet. The prayers and good wishes of the godly
women who prepare these boxes are worth as much often as the
valuable things they put in them. Still, churches ought not to be
satistied with making boxes, money contributed is of far greater
value.

V. THE DEMANDS AND PROSPECTS.

Never were the demands made on the Board greater, or the pros-
pects brighter tlian to-day. Without saying a word about the
wants of the iields tliis side of the Mississippi Kiver, we are asked
for two hundred and forty-jive ministers this Spring, to fill places
ready and anxiously waiting for them in the regions beyond. By
a careful and moderate computation, we are satisfied that if the
men and the money could be secured, five hundred more mission-
aries could be profitably employed by the Board this year. Even
this number, large as it may seem, would not be an increase out of
proportion to the advance of the population and the progress of
the country. Calls for men come to us from every State and Ter-
ritory. Some of them are accompanied with appeals that cause
our hearts to bleed. How long shall we turn a deaf ear to such
calls ?

The prospects before us are unspeakably encouraging. The
number of miles of projected railroads in Texas, New Mexico,
Arizona, Colorado, Utah, Montana, Dakota, Idaho and the Pacific
Coast, without speaking of those in the older States is simply
prodigious. In 1832, about fifty years ago, there were only nine
thousand miles of railroad in all of the United States. But during
the past year alone, eleven thousand miles were constructed.
Every ten miles of these iron tracks means a village, a town or a
flourishing city, needing the blessings of the gospel. These gi'eat
highways are opening to the world the cotton fields of Texas, the

1883.] BOARD OF HOME MISSIONS. 19

pasture lands of New Mexico, the gold mines of Colorado, the soda
valleys of AVyomino:, the prairies of Nebraska and Idaho, the rich
plains of Montana, and the lumber districts of Washington Terri-
tory. Continuous streams of population from the East and the
West, from Canada and Mexico are now flowing into these regions,
and they multiply the cries for help, which must be heeded, or
this country will become intidel, or materialistic. It is hoped that
the General Assembly will urge upon the chxirches an addition of
20 'per cent, to the receijyts of last year to the Board of Home
Missions, or the sum of $600,000 during the current year. It will
be a shame for our rich missionary Church to expend less than
that on the evangelization of our own land.

" One grand thing about the Presbyterian Church," in the words
of the Occident. " is that she is always equal to a great emergency.
The emergency is now upon us. This vast field must be supplied
with religious instruction. We need men and money, and we must
have them. We need a million dollars, and it should be (contrib-
uted during this coming year. The west will not always be a
debtor, but in time will repay to the church with noble interest all
that has been invested on her behalf. The time will soon come
when the section west of the Mississippi River will be the greatest,
the richest, the most powerful part of the nation. The mighty
mountain ranges are filled with silver and gold. The great
plains and valleys of the west are the most productive ; the climate
is the most genial. All that they need in a worldly view is men
and money, and they are getting both in a marvelous profusion.

" The church must keep pace with the world. We must have
men and money ; our brethren are already marshaled in the field ;
with far reaching vision and courageous hearts they are pursuing
their great work. Why move we forward with timid steps ?
Sound the bugle call ! Exalt the standard ! Inscribe upon it the
sentiment : ' The gospel for the west.' Proclaim the watchword :
' America for Christ ;' bear it from church to church, and from lip
to lip, until there shall be enkindled in the heart of every patriot,
every friend of humanity, every lover of the Lord, a glowing en-
thusiasm for this glorious cause."

20 ANNUAL RKPOKT OF THE [1883.

SUSTENTATION DEPARTMENT.

The I)oard is very sorry to be compelled to report decline rather
than progress in this division of its work. The fluctuations and
changes through which the Sustentation Scheme has passed, are
known to all the members of the Assembly. Whilst the principles
underlying it are admirable, the application of them to the great
variety of circumstances in this land is all but impossible. The
experience of the past ten years has not enabled the Board or the
General Assembly to adjust its rules so as to work smoothly and
advantageously in all places. Earnest efforts have been made
during the year to induce all the churches which could comply
with the requirements, to draw their aid from the Sustentation
Department. The success that has accompanied these efforts has
been very satisfactory.

More money, we are sorry to say, was drawn out of that fund
during the year, by $7,443.36 than was put in. The receipts of
the Sustentation Department amounted to $18,742.19, or $1,537.79
less than the preceding year.

The Board is of the opinion that this Scheme could be made to
meet all the expectations of its most sanguine friends, if the east-
ern Synods should see fit to adopt it for supplying their waning
churches. The West is opening up so rapidly, and the demands
made by its destitute fields on our treasury are so great, that it
would be well for the large and wealthy Synods of New York,
New Jersey, Pennsylvania. Ohio, and perhaps Michigan, Indiana,
and Illinois, to undertake the support of their own weak churches,
by special contributions, called Sustentation contributions. The
money, as now, might be sent to the treasurer of the Board, so as
to avoid expense and the possibility of losses, but the Synods
should dispose of it according to their own judgment, drawing out
all they deposit. Without indicating how the details should be
arranged, the Board is satisfied tliat the suggestion is worthy of
the careful consideration of the Synods.

Even if this should fail, and the Sustentation Scheme become
extinct, it will have accomplished good ends. It has certainly
emphasized the necessity of permanent j^astorates, of adequate
ministerial supj^ort, and of taking yearly steps towards becoming

self-sustaininoj. The Home Mission as well as the Snstentation
Department . of the Board aims at bringing about these desired
results. It incorporates as far as possible all the good and practica-
ble principles of Sustentation.

THE SCHOOL DEPAETMENT.

As there are many in the church, who have never heard of the
origin ot this important department of onr work, it may be well
to furnish the Assembly witli a brief sketch of its history.

(a) Its History.

As the railroads opened Utah, Southern Colorado, New Mex-
ico and Arizona, they brought within the bounds of our Presby-
teries Indian tribes, a large number of Spanish speaking Mexicans,
and the inhabitants of far off Alaska, to whom home missionaries
were sent. But the missionaries soon discovered that these excep-
tional populations could not be reached by the simple preaching of
the word. They found the Indians in many places in heathen
darkness, needing all the ai)pliances used to reach pagan nations.
The Mormons were under the power of the priesthood to such an
extent as to preclude all approach to them. The Catholics of
Colorado and New Mexico were so intensely ignorant and bigoted
as to shun a Protestant minister, and to close the door in his face.
In view of these difficulties, the missionaries asked either to be
recalled or furnished with schools by which they might be able to
"reach the children, and through them the parents. The Board
for a time was powerless, and unable to see a way of solving the
difficulty.

The matter was brought to the attention of the General Assem-
bly. That body recognizing the fact that the Board of Home
Missions was chartered to supply destitute places with ministers
and not with teachers, deemed it unadvisable to deviate from the
policy of former years. They therefore called upon the women of
the church to take up the school work and act as pioneers to our
regular Home Missionaries. The response was generous and hearty,
for the women saw in this something corresponding to the Zenana

22 ANNUAL KEPORT OF THE [1883.

work ill India. It was proposed to enlarge the sphere of the old
Home Missionary Societies, which had been engaged for years in
njaking up missionary boxes, by adding this more important work
of sending teachers to train the youth of our Indian, Mexican and
Mormon population in the principles of patriotism and Christianity.
The addition of this department soon infused new life into the
Home Missionary Societies throughout the land. Their success has
been unparalleled, and beyond the expectations of their most
sanguine friends. This work, it should be said, had been carried
on to a commendable extent prior to this time by the Ladies' Board
of New York and similar organizations, and their success was a
guarantee for that of the new and enlarged organization called the
" Woman's Executive Committee "

(b) Its Ecclesiastical Relations.
At the request of the ladies, the Board of Home Missions for-
mulated the principles and rules by which their Society was to be
guided. They were placed under the control of the Presbyteries
and Synods : even their very existence was made to depend upon
ecclesiastical appointments. And, from the beginning, this work
has been carried on under the direction of and in conference with
the Board of Home Missions. It may be regarded as an eccle-
siastical organization.

(c) The Progress of the Work.
In the hands of the women, this new work has been most success-
ful. It shows that their country, and its spiritual interests lie very
near tlieir heart. During the six years of its existence the funds
raised, and the teachers commissioned have been as follows, viz.:

...20. Funds I 5,296 25

...35. " $15,624 65

...39. " $20,264 39

...72. " $39,841 08

...100. " $74,197 80

...133. " $87,401 62

The different Societies engaged separately in school work, in the
past, have become happily and harmoniously consolidated, so that
hereafter they will form only one great National Society known as

the " Woman's Executive Committee of Home Missions," having its
headquarters at 23 Centre Street, New York, and its auxiliaries in
every part of the land.

A brief . outline of the school work as it now stands, and of the
devoted men and women on the tield, may be of value not only to
the General Assembly, but to the whole Church. We give the
following prepared by others who know whereof they write :

INDIAN WORK.
(a.) In the Indian Territory.

The work of the Board of Home Missions in the Indian Terri-
tory began several years ago. The Rev. John Elliott and the Rev.
S. A. Stoddard spent a number of years of tedious labor at Fort
Gibson and Muskogee. Tahlequah was also occupied for a time,
and then left vacant. Until within a very short period, the work
has been wholly that of preaching the Gospel and establishing
churches. At the present time, there are church organizations at
Vinita and Pheasant Hill, which are supplied by the Rev. W. P.
Haworth. A building has been erected at Pheasant Hill, and one
is in course of building at Yinita. Ciaremore and Tulsa, on the
line of the San Francisco Railroad, have also been occupied more
or less regularly by Mr. Haworth and his father, the Rev. Laban
Haworth.

These places are provided with schools, and the people are able
to support their children in them.

Muskogee, the most important railroad town in the Territory, has
a church organization and home, a school, a pastor (the Rev. S. A.
Stoddard), and a teacher (Miss Rose Steed). The church is alive
and vigorous, and exercises a power for good that is felt beyond the
limits of the town. The school is only six months old, but is grow-
ing in favor, and is already counted a success. At Fort Gibson we
have a church building and an organization, but it has suffered by
long neglect, from the want of a minister. We have tried in vain,
thus far, to secure one.

It is desired that a school be opened here, and we only wait for
a minister to offer to go to this field, when a teacher will be sent
also.

24 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE [1883.

There are several out stations connected with this field, which
promises to be hopeful, if not left vacant too long. Why is it that
consecrated women stand ready to go to such places as this, and
ministers, who are supposed to consecrate their lives. wholly to
PJim whom they preach, are unwilling ?

Tahlequah is the capital of the Cherokee Nation. For about
two years the Kev. Willis Weaver has been preaching here and at
Park Hill. He also preaches as occasion offers in the large board-
ing schools for males and females, which is carried on at the nation's
expense. At both these points we have church buildings and or-
ganizations. Amid many discouragements a Sabbath-school has been
established at Tahlequah, and kept in successful operation many
years, by Mrs. Stapler, one of the members of the Presbyterian
Church at that place.

The Rev. A. N. Chamberlain is employed in preaching in their
native language to the "full-blood" Cherokees at various points,
and is scattering the seed of the Word in many places hitherto
uncultivated.

We have entered into contract with the Creek Nation to estab-
lish a boarding-school among the poorest and most ignorant of them.
The civil war and the want of buildings have hindered the com-
mencement of this enterprise. But we hope to be able to begin
fully equipped next September. The teachers, Mrs. Moore and
her sister, Miss A. M. Robertson, who for many years lived and
labored among these people, and who understand their nature and
wants so well, have consented to undertake the management of this
needed woi'k.

Atoka is a town on the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railroad, in
the Choctaw Nation, where the Rev. Alex. Reid labored for a time.
The Rev. John Edwards has been appointed to this place, and he has
just entered upon his work. The Rev. Alex. Reid is now stationed
at the old Spencer Academy and vicinity. His love for this, his
held of labor years ago, caused him to give up Atoka, and under-
take the reviving of these old and formerly successful missions of
our beloved church.

He gathers the people and preaches to them on the Sabbath, and
is welcomed among them as a father beloved, who has been long
absent from his children.

1883.] BOARD OF HOME MISSIONS.

25

In this part of the nation our Churcli formerly had 16 churches,
1772 members, 6 boarding-schools with 800 pupils, and 6 day
schools. These being nearly wholly destroyed, scattered and
broken up, the Kev. Alex. Keid now labors and prays for their
rebuilding and gathering again. Being out of health and growing
old, he asks for young men from the Seminaries to come and help
him. Four are needed this spring for these fields, and the Board
stands ready to send them. Who shall they be?

The old Spencer Academy has been again put in order, and a
boarding-school of 25 to 30 poor orphan children have been gathered
into it, who are cared for bodily, mentally and spiritually by Mr.
W. B. Kobe, his wife and daughter, and Miss A. Young. Mr.
Kobe writes : " I think the friends helping us would feel abun-
dantly rewarded if they could see the condition of many of these
children when they come to us, almost destitute of clothing,
ragged, barefooted, filthy, vermin-covered, and then see them now
—decently clad, clean, cheerful and bright. With but few ex-
ceptions they readily acquire our habits of living and dressing ; the
girls especially take delight in being tidy, and in doing their work
well. Last week one of the most pitiful-looking little girls I ever
saw, with nothing but a filthy torn dress upon her, was brought by
her poor old grandfather, who begged me to take her. I deter-
mined to do so, feeling sure that some society will provide for her.
She is six or seven years old."

Kev. J. L. Hobbs and wife have just begun work at Lenox, the
station where they labored many years ago. They have been most
warmly welcomed by their old friends, and are hopeful of the work
here. A house of worship and a home for themselves are absolutely
needed, and must be put up soon. This is a good and worthy ob-
ject for missionary societies and benevolent persons to aid.

In the northern middle section of the Territory, the Kev. A. B.
Lawyer, a native missionary, has gathered a churcli and is preach-
ing to the remnant of his tribe, the ^ez Perces.

Among the Pawnees, the Kev. Jas. Wilson is doing noble, ag-
gressive work, which the Lord is blessing. Now we have described
the whole of our work in this Territory. How little is it, com-
pared with what it should be — shall we say must be?

26 ANNUAL REPORT.

During the past year more than $270 have been expended in repair-
ing the church, the greater part of which was replaced in the mis-
sion treasury by the gifts of the people.

" The appearance of the church is decidedly improved and is
much more cheerful than heretofore."

School and Native Helpers.

The school for girls has been under the supervision and the care
of Mrs. Caldwell, Miss McFarren, and Miss Ramsay. It has a
good location, good school-rooms, and many other advantages and
attractions. There are also four Christian young ladies brought up
and educated by the mission, who are about ready to enter upon
full duty as teachers in the school.

One of these gave nearly all her time to teaching during the past
year, and the other three spent part of their time in teaching and
part in their studies. Much is expected from them, not only in
the school, but as active workers for Christ in the years to come.
They have been especially useful in the past year by their singing in
the prayer-meetings and church services, and two of them have
been very successful Sabbath-school teachers. Miss Ramsay writes
that there was little if any spiritual interest manifested among the
pupils.

Additions to the Church. — Whilst the additions to the church have
not been very great during the past year, yet there have been some
earnest, faithful ones gathered into the fold ; and there has been
and is still an earnest spirit of inquiry.

Four or five persons are looking forward to being soon received
into the fellowship of the church, and others are seriously con-
sidering their duty. Since the report was written there has been
an earnest religious awakening in the church.

Prayer-Meetings. — "These have been especially encouraging, and
the number of those who have been willing to take part in prayer
among the recent members as well as those who have been members
for a longer time have given us reason to hope for still greater bless-
ings in the future."

Boys' School. — A school for boys is one of the first needs of the
mission. And this will require increased funds and at least one
good Christian lady teacher. All the schools in Bogota are conducted
either by infidels or by the Roman Catholic Church. It is there-
fore important that a good institution for the training of youth
under right religious influences be established as soon as possible.

School for Girls. — " It is also our earnest desire that the girls'
school be reinforced with at least one good teacher, and that in
time Mr. and Mrs. Caldwell may be permitted, by reason of reinforce-
ments in the girls' school, to give their whole time, or at least a
much greater part of it, to the church and city missionary work.

"According to present arrangements no one has time to do much
real missionary work among the people. And in our judgment we

MISSIONS IN BRAZIL. 2/

thus lose one of our main chances to gain an influence over those
who are not already interested in our work.

"If a boys' school is undertaken, Mr. Candc^r's time and that of a
lady teacher will be largely occupied in that work, so that we will
still need more help or at least a reinforcement in the girls' school
before we can have much opportunity to come in contact with the
people as we would like to do, and as we believe from past experi-
ence is highly necessary for any great success in our mission work."

The reports received indicate progress. Two new churches have
been organized, and new places for preaching opened, where it is ex-
pected that congregations will be gathered that in time will become
centres of rehgious interest. The following statistical table gives
an exhibit of what has been done during the year :

state of society — a large, flourishing church, a hospital, and boys'
school, these are all due to earnest work, and they are first fi'uits.
To the missionaries at Wrangel is due the complete change in Indian
life, testified to by all who are familiar with Alaska. Formerly
Wrangel was notorious for a hai'd lot of natives — quarrelsome,
drunken, lewd, dirty, and lazy. Now all is changed, and every
sign indicates great advance in true civilization,

Sitka was the old Russian capital and commercial centre, and con-
sequently is another important point of the TeiTitory under the new
regime. When Mrs. McFarland went to Wrangel a suitable mission-
ary was sought for Sitka, and the Rev. John G. Brady was found.
He was shortly afterward joined by Miss Fannie Kellogg, now Mrs.
S. Hall Young of Wrangel, and both did efficient service during
the time they remained. After a time both retired, and new mis-
sionaries had to be sought. These were at last found in Mr. Alonzo
Austin, wife and two daughters, one. Miss Olinda, is still connected
with the Sitka mission, the other, Mrs. Styles, with .her husband,
Mr. W. B. Styles, is now in charge of the mission among the Hoon-
yahs. For a brief time the Rev. G. W. Lyons was also at Sitka,
but health failing he went to California. The Sitka work has suc-
ceeded to an encouraging degree, and while here also fire destroyed
the first Home, the new "Boys' Home" just completed puts our
work in better shape than it was before. The boys are taught not
only the rudiments of an English education, but also farming and
various mechanical arts, and the school will exert a wonderful in-
fluence in moulding the future of the whole section tributary to
Sitka.

The mission to the Hoonyahs on Chichagoff Island is only two
years old, but under the management of Mr. and Mrs. Styles, a
good work has been done. This tribe is an important one, and
numerically quite strong. As the mission is located at present,
many Indians of other tribes come in contact with our missionaries,
from which much good may be expected.

The Chilkat Mission is one of the most important in Alaska.
Located as it is on the Chilkoot Inlet, where the natives of the
interior find a commercial avenue to the sea, the mission reaches
some of the strongest tribes in the Territory, and when it is fully

1883.] BOARD OF HOME MISSIONS. 29

equipped, as we hope it will be soon, its influence on the natis^es will
be second, perhaps, to none. At the Chilkat mission we have the
Rev. E. Willard and Mrs. Willard, and also Miss Bessie Matthews.
A few miles up the Chilkat river we have Louis and Tillie Paul,
natives, and the first fruits of the Wrangel school, who are labor-
ing to christianize the poor people of the Chilkat tribe.

The last but not least of our missions is that among the Hydahs,
the largest tribe of all, and the one peculiai'ly exposed to bad
white influence. The Rev. J. L. Gould succeeds Mr. J. M. Chapman
here. He has with him his wife, a sister of Mrs. McFarland,
and his sister. Miss Clara Gould. The school is taught under
difficulties, there being as yet no suitable building, but in spite of
difliculties 105 Indian children attend, and the preaching services
are crowded.

The four principal stations are to be equipped so as to provide a
suitable education for boys and girls, and all the others will be
made feeders to the Wrangel, Sitka, Hydah, and Chilkat missions.
Thus we shall soon reach the whole population of south-eastern
Alaska, and indirectly through the natives all the people.

The patience, fidelity, devotion, and Christian heroism shown by
our missionaries is hardly paralleled in the annals of the church ;
but brave hearts and consecrated lives are always ready when the
cause of Christ demands, and Alaska will never call in vain. All
honor to the noble band now there.

(c). In New Mkxico and Arizona.

At Albuquerque we have a grand work established. The church
under the Rev. J. A. Menaul has just built a new edifice. The Pueblo
Indian Industrial School, under Prof. R. W. D. Bryan, with his
admiral corps of teachers, is making such rapid strides that it has
already accomplished much good, and promises to be one of the
most successful of all our missions. Mrs. Tibballs, the Misses Wood,
Yerbeck, M. H. Patton, Susie Patton, and Miss Butler are the
teachers.

The Rev. John Menaul, at Laguna, and the Rev. J. M. Shields,
at Jemez, have gained a good and solid footing among these two
Pueblo tribes. Miss Stright is teaching at Jemez.

Rev. A. P. de C. I.eite, who is a faithful worker, sends the following
report of the field cultivated by him :

" As the Rev. Mr. Landes had taken up his residence at Botucatu,
near to Rio Novo, the church at the latter place, which was under my
pastoral care, was transferred to him by the Presbytery at its last
meeting.

"On the 9th of April. 1882, I organized a church at Guarehy with
four members, and baptized at the time two infants. There are sev-
eral other persons there who are preparing to make a profession of
their faith.

" Of the three young men who were studying with me, one is already
in S. Paulo studying under the direction of Mr. Howell, who, at my
request, made arrangements for him there. The other two were un-
able to continue their studies, on account of being obliged to support
themselves by farming. One of them, especially, is very sorry that he
has not the means to go on with his studies.

" The boy who was with me, my hope for the future, was taken
away by his father, who, being very poor, needed his services.

"On the ist of October, 1882, we commenced worship in our new
chapel, which is now completed inside. We need, however, regular
seats and to finish up the outside. In the erection of our church we
have had to contend with many difliculties, as our people are nearly all
poor. Since we have been holding the service in the new building,
however, the attendance has been very encouraging, and there are al-
ready several newly interested in the cause of Christ."

The statistics of Sorocaba and Faxina, churches to which he minis-
ters, are found in the tabular statement.

Rio Claro.

On the return of Mr. Da Gama he resumed his labors at this place,
and the school is again under his care and that of his daughter, Miss
Eva Da Gama. Mr. Lenington has undertaken work in the Valley
of the Parahyba, and has charge of the Lorena and Crozeiro churches.
Besides ministering to them, he has preached in several of the larger
towns located on the railroad between Sao Paulo and Rio Janeiro, and
had good congregations in all of them,

Mr. Da Gama writes of a spirit of inquiry among the people, and of
an increased number calling for religious conversation. ^^^^ meetings
for prayer and study of the Bible had been commenced. The attend-
ance on preaching had steadily improved and the prospects for growth
were encouraging. On the first Sabbath of the year ten were received
into church tellowship on profession of their faith. Six of these were
from the orphan school — the first-fruits of this institution. This in-
gathering has had a happy effect on others. In this boarding-school
are 16 boys and 15 girls, who are carefully instructed in the Bible, in
secular knowledge, and are taught to help themselves. These recite

with the day scholars, who number about 25. The attendance on
Sabbath-school is from 60 to 80.

The school at Limeira has 20 pupils, and that of Pirassinunga has
18. At these and other outstations connected with Rio Claro the
teacher or the Bible-reader has conducted religious services on the
Sabbath and sometimes during the week.

Botiicatu.

Mr. Landes has devoted his time to proclaiming the simple truths
of the Gospel at this and other places. The number of converts at
Botucatu is small, but several are expecting soon to make a public
profession of their faith. The gentleman who gave the property men-
tioned in last report, continues a warm friend of the mission. The
school is flourishing and numbers 41 pupils. Besides the church of
Rio Novo, which has been placed under the care of Mr. Landes, he
has visited the other congregations four different times in ten months —
Lencoes, Bom Successo, and Viado. Each trip required a ride on
horseback of nearly 200 miles, rhiee persons were received into the
church at Lencoes on examination and 8 children were baptized. The
believers here are very much scattered, and on this account it is very
difficult to bring them together for religious services. One who united
with the church has suftered in his worldly affairs by reason of his ad-
herence to the I'rotestant faith, but he is willing to suffer if thereby he
can glorify God. At Bom Successo there are 25 or 30 adult members.
Two were received into this church on profession of their faith, and
4 children were baptized. Six other persons were anxious to unite
with the church, but they were advised to wait till the next communion,
so as to be more thoroughly acquainted with the doctrines of the Gos-
pel. The school has 14 pupils. At Vivado is another community of
believers, numbering about 30 members. One was added to the
church. These scattered communities need not only the presence of
one who can instruct them in divine things, but the teacher and the
colporteur are also required to educate the young and to read the Word
to those who are unable to read it for themselves.

There are brief notices of the churches at other points in this South-
ern field. Senhor Zacharias has labored at Brotas and Dous Corregos
amidst some discouragements. Sr. Torres has been happy and pros-
perous in his work in the provinces of Minas Geraes. He is laboring
also with his pen in combating the errors of Rome. Sr. Eduardo is
located at Campanha, about 15 leagues from Caldas, where Mr. Torres
has his residence.

Rio de Janeiro.

Mr. Houston has been encouraged by the arrival of an associate in
Mr. Kyle, whose experience in the pastorate at home will be of great
service in his new field. Mr. Houston reports the work growing in
interest at this important centre. " The attendance on the services
has improved greatly during the last few months, especially on Sabbath
evenings, when a great many outsiders are present. Quite a number

L. Barlow as teachei". Both clinrcli and school are doiiiir a good
work anidiif^ these poor people.

On the other side the raut^e are the missions at Cenecero, La Jara,
San Rafael, Conejos, and La Costello, where, during the year, the
Misses Ross, Miller, Tonng, Griinstead and Gilchrist have labored.
Some of these missions were given up during the past year, because
public schools were established, and the necessity for the missions
has been taken away.

At Socorro we have a church and a building awaiting a, minister.

At Mesilla and Los Cruces we have lately reorganized our mis-
sion, under tlie Rev. M, Mattheson.

{fj). In Southern California.

About a year ago we sent the Rev. Charles Bransby to Los An-
geles, California, to labor among the two thousand Mexican and
Spanish-speaking people there. The work has prospered and a
much wider field been opened up than we had anticipated. After
a time the Rev. J. M. Roberts, formerly of New Mexico, and the
Rev. H. L. Harris, were providentially sent to this part of the
country, where they at once engaged in evangelistic work. These
three ministers lately made a tour tlirough some of the Mexican
towns, and, after holding religious services, organized churches at
Los Nietos and Anaheim.

God in His providence has also sent Antonio Diaz to labor in
this part of the vineyard. He was born and reared in the city of
Mexico. After his conversion he was brought into the Presbyterian
fold, and engaged to do evangelistic work among his countrymen.
When the persecution against Protestants broke out in Acapulco,
Mexico, six or eight years ago, he was compelled to get on board
of a vessel and come to San Francisco. Afterwards he came down
to Los Angeles to make his home. Being desirous of spreading
among our Mexican population the gospel for which he had had to
suffer, he saw here an open door and improved the opportunity.
He has been working in the capacity of a lay evangelist during a
]3eriod of about three years. He may be considered the first
apostle of the evangelization of the Spanish-speaking people of this
coast. His coming into our ranks gives us a double advantage — it

adds to our little band an efficient worker, and it leaves all the field
in the hands of the Presbyterian Church. The latter is a fact of
no small importance when we consider that Roman Catholic con-
verts are greatly puzzled and perplexed by our denominationalism.
The field now^ therefore, is ou7's, and ours is also the 7'espo7isi-
hility.

As the work is opening up so auspiciously, and, considering the
circumstances, so rapidly, it is plain that two or three men cannot
do justice to it. Besides the fields where we already have organi-
zations, there are others, such as Santa Ana, El Monte, Pomona,
Asuza, San Bernardino, Buenaventura, and Santa Barbara, that
ought to be visited and worked up. Buenaventura has five hun-
dred and Santa Barbara about one thousand Mexicans. Then there
is San Diego and Wilmington, etc. If we had twelve men at our
disposal for this special work we could find steady employment for
all of them within the bounds of our Presbytery. The people of
Los Nietos are, for various reasons, anxious to have a distinctive
Spanish school ; so are the people at Analieini ; and I have no
doubt that a similar request will come from other fields that may
be developed in the future. It is a noteworthy fact that the ma-
jority of the Mexicans that have joined our churches cannot sign
their names, and not a few of them are unable even to read their
Bibles !

MORMON WORK.
In Utah and Idaho.

Beginning at Malad, just over the Utah line, in Idaho, we have a
grand work going on under the direction of the Rev. E. M. Knox.
Amid much anxiety he is building a church with but little money
in hand, and uncertain just when relief will come. $1000 are
needed at once. He has large audiences on the Sabbath, and a
school of 125 pupils, with Mrs. Knox and the two Misses Van
Wormer as the teachers.

Across the mountains to the east, still in Idaho, Miss Anna Noble
and Miss Kelly have been so diligently at work that they have a
school overflowing the small quarters in which it is gathered. At
this point, and Richmond, four miles below, a minister is much
needed.

34 ANNUAL REPOKT OF THK [1883.

Passing down Caclie Valley, to Smithiield, where Miss Bartlett
labored for a time amid what seemed insurmountable difficulties
and trials, we have there now Miss McCraken, with a large school
under full headway.

At Logan, the Rev. C. M. Parks, wife and daughter (Mrs. Shirley)
have secured one of the most attractive homes, and church build-
ings and successful schools in the Territory.

The Eev. P. Bohbeck, a Swede, labors at Hyrum, Millville and
Wellsville, among many of his countrymen, who have been be-
guiled into the horrible system of Monnonism. He is aided in his
good work by the Misses N utting. Hall and Best, whose " Garfield
Memorial Chapels " have just been completed. As these are not
fully paid for, we are still compelled to ask for more money ; $1,200
will pay up all arrearages.

Those of our readers who have had knowledge of the persecutions
which nearly overwhelmed the Rev. S. L. Gillespie at the beginning
of his work in Brigham City, will rejoice in the success that now
attends tliat mission. It has been and is a hard field, but the harvest
is ripening. A chapel, in which the Gospel is preached, and a good
school have been secured. Miss Dayton is the teacher.

At Ogden, a place of the utmost importance to our work, the
Rev. J. F. Knowles and the two teachers, the Misses Dickey and
Campbell, have established a church and school, that are limited in
numbers only by the smallness of our buildings. In order to make
our work a success new buildings must be secured at once, and
$5,000 should be expended now ; every moment's delay is a positive
loss.

Kaysville is a place midway between Ogden and Salt Lake City,
and is full of ignorance and Mormonism, which Miss McDonald is
striving successfully to dispel.

In Salt Lake City a good work has been done, under the
labors of the Rev. R. G. McNiece, Prof. Coyner and the noble
band of teachers, whose united efforts have cleansed that natu-
rally beautiful city of much moral uncleanness, and is send-
ing out througli the whole territory a pure religious senti-
ment, that is making many changes for the glory of God and
the uplifting of that people. The " Salt Lake Institute " should

1883.] BOARD OF HOME MISSIONS. 35

be speedily made a college, and if we are wise this will be done ; if
not, others will establish a college there, and the Presbyterian
Church will have lost a golden opportunity. A new mission is just
being established, for which help is needed at once, to the amount
of $2,500, to erect a building and fm*nish it. Miss Reed has just
been commissioned for this work.

At American Fork, the Rev. T. F. Day is eloquently preaching,
and the teachers, the Misses Pierce and Simons, are instilling into
the minds and hearts of many of the Mormon adherents, and their
children, the pure and enlightening truths of the Gospel. A sub-
stantial stone church has been built and paid for at a cost of much
sacrifice and anxiety to the now happy laborers. Three miles
further down the valley, at Pleasant Grove, Miss Work has pressed
on successfully, amid opposition that would appal any other than a
consecrated and brave Christian woman.

One of our most successful missions is under the care of the
Rev. G. W. Leonard, at Springville, where wise, diligent lal)or has
resulted in a church organization, a substantial brick building, and
a school of high order, with over 1 00 pupils. He is assisted in
this good work by the Misses Munger, Wray and Hutchinson.

Mr. Leonard has also under his care the mission at Spanisli Fort,
where Miss Perley has for the past year and a half made headway
against a terrible opposition, until slie has a school of twenty-five
pupils. An assistant will soon be required. A chajDcl is very much
needed and should be erected during the summer, and be made
ready for the opening of the year, next September. The cost will
be about $2500.

The next point we reach on the journey down the valley is Pay-
son, where a new chapel is just completed and a school established,
taking the time of two faithful teachers, the Misses Woodruff and
Berlin, and a parish work that keeps the Rev. J. A. L. Smith busy.

The Huntingdon chapel, at Nej)hi, (built by kind friends in
Cleveland, Ohio) is the center from which the gospel is proclaimed
by the Rev. C. M. Fraser, and taught, together with the elevating
branches of secular education, by Miss Scovel,

Leaving this mission we pass up into the San Pete Yalley,
between Mt. Nebo and other spurs of the Wasatch Mountains.

36 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE [1883.

Here we see the places where the Rev. D. J. McMillan so faithfully
labored to establish the work of our church in proclaiming the
" good news " and opening schools, by which to enlighten the poor
ignorant people, many of whom, until he went among them, never
heard the true Gospel.

The Rev. G. W. Martin has now the oversight of this valley.
The work has grown until we have flourishing schools at Moroni,
Fairview, Spring City, Ephraim and Gunnison, with the following
teachers, viz : the Misses Brown, Sorenson, Kyle, Rea and Campbell.
We have also a Boarding School at Mt. Pleasant, which has its corps
of teachers, the Misses Fishback, Crowell, Leonard and Stayers ;
and at Manti, a school of high grade taught by the Misses Galbraith
and Slade. At Moroni and Gunnison buildings are needed, and
will be erected as soon as tlie money is secured.

Passing down this valley, shut in by mountains on both sides, at
Gunnison you come into the valley of Sevier. Two missions are
established at Richfield and Monroe under the care of the Rev. P.
D. Stoops, who successfully co-operates with the teachers, Misses
Olmstead and Decker, though the accommodations are inadequate
to their needs.

To the west of this beautiful valley lies Fillmore, where the labors
of the Rev. W. A. Hough and the Misses McKean and Craig have
made permanent impressions for good upon the people of this, the
former capital of Utah. The Scipio school, a few miles distant, is
just begun with twenty-five pupils gathered under Miss Ramsey.

Passing south about one hundred miles, our next workers are
found at Parowon. Here tlie Rev. W. C. Cort has gathered around
him a congregation and a school, which has given him an oppor-
tunity to make impressions upon numbers of rank Mormons, who,
despite the power of the priests, attend the services and school.
Even the bitterest Mormon adherent admits the superior and
purifying power of our work and workers. Miss Morton is the
present teacher and another is needed.

At Cedar City, twenty miles further south, after much waiting and
watching, we have secured a building and established a school under
the care of Miss Hartford. The determination to keep us out was
more persistently manifested here than in any other place. Here

1883.] BOAKD OF HOME MISSIONS. 37

the Mountain Meadow expedition was planned, and from here the
march began, which in a few hours carried death to one hundred
and twenty poor helpless emigrants.

A ride of over fifty miles through sandy wastes brings one to
Silver Reef and Toguerville, the former, a mining town, where the
Rev. E. N. Murphy labors, while four miles away, at Toquerville,
Miss Burk tries what prayers, the light of the Gospel and education
can do to purify the Mormon influence of this little town, which,
by nature, is like an oasis in a desert land. We trust it will re-
semble ere long, a moral one.

On the very southern border, near the Arizona line, lies the
beautiful little city of St. George. The Rev. A. B. Cort, with the
teacher, Mrs. Blackburn, are laboring amidst discouragement
caused by the deep-rooted immorality of the Mormons. Like the
mountains that surround them, which are full of lava, hard as ada-
mant, they resist the pure teachings of our Divine Redeemer.

At Washington, a few miles away. Miss Stevenson teaches in the
house where, a few years since, John D. L. Lee held his Mormon
Court, which building was given to him for his good and faithful
service in leading the Mormon liosts against the helpless people at
Mountain Meadow.

The light which these faithful workers are prayerfully and pa-
tiently diffusing among the Mormon saints, will in due time dispel
the delusion under which they labor.

There have been employed within the bounds of the Presbytery
of Utah, since the church began its work here, twenty-four minis-
ters and eigthy-three teachers. The value of real estate bought,
paid for, and now held, is about $97,700. This is distributed among
thirty-three cities and towns. The number of churches organized
is twelve ; the present number of communicants, three hundred and
ten ; the present number of ministers, nineteen ; the number of
schools now maintained, thirty-three ; the enrollment for the year
exceeds two thousand ; the average enrollment for the year, one
thousand seven hundred and sixty-one ; the average enrollment for
the year in Sabbath schools, about one thousand eight hundred ;
the number of teachers now under commission, fifty-three ; of these
six were educated in the mission schools.

38 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE [1883.

If yon will examine the map of Utah, you will observe that our
missions extend from north to soutli through the entire Territory.
Wliile we occupy many of the most important towns, tliere are very
many others still without a school or a church. The force of teach-
ers and preachers could be doubled to good advantage ; but an
empty treasury stays our liands.

During the past year 133 Missionary Teachers have been em-
ployed, as follows :

LITERAEY DEPARTMENT.

(a.) The Presbyterian Home Missionary.

Tlie paper bearing the above name is now well known through-
out the Church. It is carrying monthly to thousands of homes
information respecting the extent, character, resources, destitutions
and prospects of this broad land of which they had never dreamed
before. The Secretaries have often been asked how it was possible
for them to conduct this work successfully without an organ of
their own. The inconvenience was sensibly felt, but we made
the best of it. We find the Pres7jyterian Home Missionary an
auxiliary that we could not now dispense with. Through its pages
we are able to lay our wants before our brethren the pastors of the
churches, and to talk face to face with our liberal friends. Except-
ing a deficit of 1 1702.47, less than we had once to pay for the pages
of the Record, and much less than the cost of the copies sent free
of charge to our ministers and teachers, the paper has paid for it-
self during the fifteen months of its existence. As the ministers
are entrusted by the Assembly with the important duty of raising
money for our cause, it is no more than right that the Assembly
should furnish them with the intelligence necessary to reach the
hearts of their giving members. The present circulation of the
Preshyteriaoi Home Missio7iary is 25,000, and the subscription list
is rapidly increasing. It ought to double, and we believe that it
will double, during the coming year.

It is not necessary to speak of the merits of the paper, for they

1883.] BOARD OF HOME MISSIONS. 39

have been recognized fully by the whole Church. Some of our
leading men have pronounced it phenomenal in quality and circu-
lation. Its presence in the home and the church is a blessing to
the children and a great aid to the pastor.

(6.) Pamphlets and Leaflets.
The Board has published but little during the years of its
existence, except the Annual Keports, and lately three pamphlets
entitled, ''Fresh Facts'' ''Does it Pay,'' "Home Mission Field
for 1882 and 1883." The Woman's Executive Committee has
issued a number of admirable leaflets on different phases of the
school work.

OF THE

STANDING COMMITTEE ON HOME MISSIONS.

The Standing Committee to whom was referred the 1.3th Annual Report of the Board of
Home Missions, respectfully report that they have had the same iinder careful consideration,
and while they find it full of interest in all its details, must content themselves with calling
the attention of the Assembly to the following matters which they deem especially noteworthy :

And 1st. Hearty thanksgiving should be rendered to Almighty God for His merciful
preservation of the lives and health of the several Secretaries, Officers and members of the
Board, and to an unwonted extent of the missionaries and their families. Of the 1,387 mis-
sionaries who have been under commission and in active service, oidy ten have been called
to " cease from their labors." These fell with their armor on in the midstof the battle, doing
valiant service on the high places of the field. We reverently pause to pay them the tribute
of our grateful appreciation of their earnest and self-denying services, while we glorify the
grace which enabled them to be "faithful unto death."

A second cause for especial gratitude to the Great Head of the Church is to be found in
the large bestowal of the spirit of liber.dity, whereby the people have offered willingly unto
the Lord for the carrying on and extension of the great work devolved in llis Providence
unto them. When a year ago it was conceded that hitif a inilllon, of dolhirx was needed for
the prosecution of the work during the ensuing twelve months, it was thought by many that
the demand was larger than would'be met, and that perhaps it was scarcely wise to make it ;
but the response has been such as to rebuke the little faith of those who thus thought, the
whole amount received being $.504,795.61, of which a larger proportion than ever before was
^ven by the churches in their regular contribiitions. Thus showing not only a continued
interest in the great work of Home Missions, but also satisfaction with the methods under
which the work is conducted. To Him be the praise whose is the silver and the gold, and
who, by His holy spirit, has made those to whom He has entrusted it, measurably, faithful
to their stewardship.

For thus has it come to pass that our beloved Church has been able to meet the immense
and increased demand upon her, and connnissinii one hundred and one more men during the
past year, than were in service during the preceding. Of the 5 14:} ministers enrolled upon
our minutes, 1,404 have the honorable distinction of being Home Missionaries, and when we
add to this n\imber the goodly fellowship of those laboring on the foreign field, we have the
right to thankfully claim the possession of one of the very purest marks of the apostolic
church that we are pre-eminently a missionary body. We have spoken of the immense and
increased demand upon the Church during the past year. This has arisen, not from the
acquisition of new territory, but from the unprecedented increase of population in the
territory which we have already endeavored to preempt for Christ. Never in the history of
the country has the tide of immigration reached the rate of the past few months. The influx
this year from other lands, will not. according to the estimate of the Board of Emigration
of New York, fall much, if any, below 900,000. And a larger percentage than ever before are
pushing their way to the new west. We may well ask, who are they ? and whence come they ''.
Nobody knows, and scarcely anybody cares. Examine the passenger lists of the great in-
coming ships and they give you no satisfaction. They only state that so many hundreds of
men, women and children are passengers and are to be landed in New York. They come from
Holland, from Hungary, from the mountain passes of Switzerland, from the bogs of Ireland.
Hundreds and thousands of them are paupers and criminals sent to us by communities and
local governments in Europe. It is a simple fact that certain town couiuals and village au-
thorities vote money out of the town purse to enable their criminals and paupers to emigrate
to our shores. One little Canton of Switzerland spent in h few years not less than a million
and a half of francs in a desperate effort to dispose of its poor to other countries and so they
come. They rest not day nor night ; steadily pouring in upon us. The gates upon our eastern
coast stand wide open to the entrance of these millions, while those upon our western are
closed against a few thousands, but God will open them again in spite of all the legislative
bills and bars which may be put upon them. So they come and so they have been coming
these years until now 11,000,000 of them, over one-fifth of our entire population, are scattered
abroad over the States and Territories of the Union. Who are they '/ Is there any danger
from them ? Do we incur any risk in receiving them into our bosom ? The question is sim-
ply this and it is assuming larger and larger proportions every year, whether our Christian
civilization, -as it has existed thus far, and as it exists to-day, thank God, whether this Chris-
tian civilization of ours shall absorb and assimilate these multitudes that are pouring in
upon us, in constantly increasing streams, or whether they shall absorb and assimilate us !
That is the question pure and simple, plain and unvarnished. That is the question before
our Board of Home Missions in all the churches, and the increased and increasing immigra-
tion adds largely each year to the demand for money and for men. We find that this Mace-
donian cry to the Board for help comes —

list. From the large and rapidly growing cities of the land. It is unnecessary to argue
the importance, nay the absolute necessity, for heeding it. To neglect these great centres
of influence would be fatal. They must be saved from godlessness, or it will go hard with
the entire nation. We have apostolic example for making special and primary effort to thor=

oughly t'vangelize them. When the resident f'huroh is strong enough to attend to this matter,
we may look to her to do it, unaided by the Board. But this Is not always the case and then
the whole Church through her appointed agency should come to the rescue. We therefore
note with hearty commendation that in addition to lending aid in many other cities in the
support of mission churches already established, nfic chnrches of this character have during
the year been established by the generous aid of the Board, one in Omaha, one in Kansas
City, two in Denver, and three in Portland. Oregon. These churches will without question
soon become self-supporting, and return many fold the assistance rendered them in the time
of their necessity. The cry for help comes —

2d. From the waning churches in thp older sections of the land. These cannot be
abandoned and so consigned to utter extinction. Many of them may yet, through the fluctu
ations of population, become once more self-su.staining and even helpful to others ; and even
if they should not. they are so essential even in their crippled condition as to warrant their
continued support. But in this connection we desire to call particular and earnest attf-ntion
to the suggestion of the Board, that the Synods and Presbyteries, within whose hands they
are. make strenuous exertion to apply to their support and maintenance the sustentalion
scheme. May not this be the mission for the present of this scheme, in the working of which
so many practical difficulties have been found, but which our Church is exceedingly loath to
abandon. If some of the strong Eastern Synods would vigorously take this matter in hand,
we believe that the sustentation scheme might not only be saved from threatened extinction,
but would also gradually extend itself to other Synods as their churches become stronger
and wealthier.

3d. The Macedonian cry is louder than ever froni what the Board well denominates the
great Empires of the West. It is simply impossible to grasp the figures and comparisons by
which the endeavor is made to enable us to realize the vastness and the resources of this
immense territory which God summons us to "go up and possess." Texas, we are told, is
able to match, acre for acre, all the wheat lands of the other States, and then have an acre
equal to Illinois for pasturage ; able also to take in its boundaries all the .50,000.000 of our
population, and then be less thickly populated than Connecticut. Think of Montana, with
its 16.n00.000 of as rich lands as the sun anywhere shines upon, and with unbounded mineral
wealth. .S120,000,0(K) having already been sent out of it. Of >7ew Mexico and Colorado, and
Arizona and Nevada, with salubrious climate, with immensely rich grazing lands, and with
untold mineral wealth which has been as yet hardly touched. Of Dakota and then Alaska,
out of which Great Britain can be four times carved, and a margin still left for another
England, Scotland and Wales ! Mr. Seward said that he considered its purchase the most
important act of his official life, and what with its fisheries and lumber and fur trade, and
the fact that two little islauds off its coast, by rental and royalty upon sealskins taken there,
have already paid the government a third more money than the whole country cost. Many
who ridiculed the acqviisition of it are beginning to think that perhaps he was not far wrong
after all. What all this territory means we all know. It means the home which God has
made ready for hundreds of millions of men and women, with deathless souls to be saved or
lost during their residence upon it. The demand upon the church is to make these new
communities which are settling rapidly this vast territory. Christian instead of infidel in the
very beginning, since what they are at the first, that they will continue to be for long ages
to come. "'The law," says Dr. Hodge, "the law of fixedness and transmissibility of types
pervades all the works of God. The wheat we now grow, grew on the banks of the Nile be-
fore the pyramids were built. Every section of the earth is now what it is because of the
character of its ancestors. Every State of our Union owes its present character to that of
its original settlers. This holds good even of counties. Before the middle of the last cen-
tury a whole church with its pastor emigrated from Massachusetts to Liberty county, Ga ,
and that county is to this day the Eden of Georgia." The Macedonian cry comes to the
Church to occupy the strategic points in this great new West, because whoever first takes
possession of them wiU win the fight, will settle the character and destiny of the nation, the
permanent sceptre of which it is plain to see will be in the hands of those who dwell west of
the Mississippi. General Eaton, our United States Commissioner of Education, says that in
his opinion " this closing decade of the nineteenth century is the crucial hour of the Repub-
lic." And that it is at all wise to "discern the signs of the times," who will gainsay.

4th. The fourth special and pressing call upon the Board comes from those exceptional
populations amongst us, viz., the Indians, the Mormons, and tl\e Spanish speaking Mexicans.
When the railroads opened the territories in which these people are to be found, missionaries
were immediately despatched to them. But it was speedily discovered that the ordinary
methods employed by those sent out were not adapted to the peculiar exigencies of the case.
While the Board and the whole church were pondering the question as to what should be
done in the emergency, the spirit of God directed attention to the women of the church as
perhaps having it in their power to come to the rescue. It was suggested to them that they
might supplement the furnishing of boxes of clothing and supplies to needy missionaries, by
rarsing money for the establishment of schools among those most ignorant people, and thus
prex^are the way for the establishment of permanent worship among them. They responded
with alacrity. And the page already written of the history of this movement is one of the
very highest in the annals of our Church. From the beginning the work of these "elect
ladies" has been carried on under the wise direction of the Board, and it has prospered
exceedingly. We are profoundly grateful for the work done and the results achieved
through their earnest efforts. One hundred and thirty-three teachers are supported by
them among the peculiar people already named, and this faithful band is performing a silent
but mighty work towards redeeming the far west from ignorance and vice, and in bringing
glad tidings to benighted souls. Six years ago the women raised for this cause J.5.300. This
year they raised ¥87.400, or nearly seventeen tinie.'j as much, beside large values in the form
of supplies. We are deeply impressed with the conviction that the education of the children
is the <mly hope of ultimately redeeming these classes from Ihe terrible bondage under which
they are groaning ; and, therefore, that the establishment and maintenance of these schools

APPENDIX. 133

is of vital importance, and while speaking of work of this kind among the Spanish-speaking
Mexicans, we cannot refrain from calling special attention to a most hopeful mission which
han been inaugurated among 2.000 of them iu Southern California. It is a story of thrilling
interest with which our whole Church ought to be famiUar, inasmuch as it marks the begin-
ning of evangelistic labors among them by one who can " speak unto them in their own
tongue the wonderful works of God."

"your Committee note with deep satisfaction that our Home Missionaries, true to the
tradition of our church, manifest a desire and a purpose to establish the school and the
college along with the sanctuary, wherever it is at all practicable. Six colleges, through the
direct agency of the missionaries of the Board, have been this year founded on missionary
territory— in" Minnesota, Dakota, Utah, New Mexico, Kansas and Washington Territory.
And now under the festering care of our " Board of Aid to Colleges," erected, as we believe
in the very nick of time, we may look to see them grow into strong and useful institutions.

A word ought, in justice, be said by your committee with reference to the organ of the
Board, The Prexhyterian Home MiKsthmnvij. Already it has a subscription list of 25,000 names,
and the number should be immediately and rapidly increased. If it was a househeld maga-
zine throughout the Presbyterian church, it could not fail to largely increa.se missionary
interest and powerfully aid the pastor when he comes before his people for the annual con-
tribution.

As has been already intimated, the Board, hard pressed with the multiplied and varied
claims upon it. claims whii'h it were a deep sorrow, if not an actual sin to decline, comes up
to this Assembly, representing the great and rich Presbyterian Church, and asks in the name
of Jesus that it may be furnished with $600,000, wherewith to carry on its operations during
the ensuing ye.ar.

In view of the good account which the Board gives to-day of its stewardship, your Com-
mittee believe that the money ought to be and will be forthcoming. They believe that the
Church is loyal enough to her Great Head, .and sufficiently awake to the crisis which is upon
her to respond most cheerfully to this inereaseil demand' In 1873 a friend was showing the
Rev. Newman Hall, of London," about the city of Philadelphia, and took him into the banking
house of Mr. Jay Cooke. It was said to Mr. "Cooke : '• Bring out that large envelope and tell
Mr. Hall its contents." Mr. ('ooke brought out a large envelope. '" What is it y" was a.sked.
Mr. Cooke replied : '"In the time when you people in England were saying that the great
' American bubble ' had burst, that the American people had gone to the utmost extent in the
expenditure of their resources, that their credit was gone, their patriotism gone, that there
was no more of the gre.at Republic, that envelope contains the orders that were sent in one
day for the bonds of the government. '• How much ?" "Forty-two millions !" So we are
cotifldent that as the battle between Christ and Satan waxes hotter and hotter, and many are
saying, '• where is now your God ?" our own beloved Church will not expose herself to the
curse which fell upon Meroz. She " will come up to the help of the Lord, to the help of the
Lord against the mighty ? "

Your Committee recommends the following for adoption by the Assembly :

I — The wise counsel, skillful planninj;, econoraical nianaj^emcnt and eneri^etie action
of our Board of Home Missions and its officers in the execution of their high trust, merit
our most hearty commendation and tlu)rough endorsement. Their efficient administration
has secured to the Church a year of grand success in the woriv of evangelizing the land.

II. — Recognizing the growing vigor and excellence of " The Presbyterian Home Mis-
sionary," and the invahiaV)le information imparted by it, we not only cordially commend
it to our churches, but also urge upon jiastors and sessions the duty of making a special
effort to increase its circulation, and thus to increase the interest in the cause of Home
Missions.

III. — We most heartily endorse the work of the Women's Executive Committee of
Home Missions, and earnestly recommend and strongly urge the Presbyteries and Synods
that have not already appointed Cominitteea of Women for Home Missionary work to
appoint such Committees at their next meeting, and we also urge upon all Christian women
the duty of co-operating with and su.staining this groat work.

IV. — In view of the pressing needs of Alaska, where our missions have been singu-
larly successful, we recommend that the General Assembly appoint a Committee of five
persons, who shall wait upon the President of the United States and the Secretary of the
Interior, asking of the Government, through them, the establishment of civil Government
among these people of Alaska, and pressing upon them the necessity of establishing in-
dustrial schools in that Territory. And we further reconunend that the Secretaries of the
Board of Home Jlissions be members of this Committee, ex-officio, in addition to tlic five
above-mentioned.

V. — We recommend the re-appointment for the coming term of three years of those
members of the Board whose term of office expires with this Assembly, viz. :
Ministers — Thomas S. Ha,stings, D. D., Alfred Yeomans, D. D.
Laymen — Joseph F. Joy, Jacob D. Vcrmilye, Walter M. Aikman.

VI. — The Home Mission work, as planned for the ensuing year, requires imperatively
the expenditure of at least $600,000, and it ought to be our firm resolve, taken in faith
in God, to place this sum in the hands of the Board.

134 APPEND lY.

Vir. — Rewlcvd that this Assembly oominond to the favorable consideration of the
older Synods the sugf^cstions of the Board of Home Missions in regard to sustentation, as
found on page 20 of its annual report.

All of which is respectfully submitted.

OF THE

WOMAN'S EXECUTIVE CO.MMITTEE OF HOME MISSIONS.

March 31«?, 1883.

To the Board op Home Missions of the Presbyterian Church in the Urdted States
of America :

Gf.nti.i;mf.n : — We are able to report this year all but. four of the Synods connected with oar
General Assemlily, as having appointeil these " Woman's Synodical Committefs of Home Missions,"
upon the exisience of which the uuiform and systematic prosecution of our work as a part of that
of the Church itself Is based. Contributions to our treasury have come in, however, from every
Synod t)ui tliat of Atlantic.

A printed list of the four humlred and fourteen women now held responsible to the various Syn-
ods for supporting the school department of Home Missions, and who are bound together in and by
our Executive Committee, with headquarlers in New York Cily, is herewith presenled.

"We have reason to thank Gud thiii during the past year decided advance has been made in the
line of unification of effi)rt, especially in regard to that undertaken in the Synod of New York.

Several of out number, as might have been expected, have been called to hisrher service than
that of earth. We have lo record the death of Mr.s. Thomas Fraser, of Oakland, California, an early
and efficient helper in this cause; of Mrs. D. S. Johnson, whose interest in our work, shown in every
way in her power a year ago at her home in Sprintrfleld. Illinois, makes us realize the more the loss
to u< in her removal hence; and again, that of Mrs. J. L. Graham, of New York, so well known as
a leader in pioneer mission work, in our own land .as elsewhere, and who, in view of her past servi-
ces, and as token of affectionate respect, was made sit iLs organization, December 13ih, 1882, the
President of the Woman's Synodical Committee of Home Mis-^ions in the Synod of New York.
"These all died in faith, and their w')rks do follow tliem."

Our Treasurer's lieport, herewith submitted, gives the amount of money received from each
Synod, amounting in all lo 108,231.18.

Value of boxes of clothing, etc., reported to our Committee, $.3<),48.5.30, making in all a total of
$9S,716.48.

In view of the great wants to be supplied, the above seems but a beginning of what should be
done in the future.

The Treasurer's lieport gives an account also of how the money has been expended.

Forty-seven teachers are employed amonir the Indians, twenty-one among the Mexicans, sixty-
flve among the Mormons — one hundred and thirty-three in all.

Five more are under appointment to commence work (D. V.) next September. Many promising
applications are on hand.

Much new work is projected. We wait the approval of your Hoard, ami the prospect of suffi-
cient funds in haml in order to take it up as promptly as possible. Every year's delay is of more
than double loss in sueh a work as this.

The women and children of our church seem ready to support schools in proporti<m as the call
for their establishment is made known to them. The above fact has convinced us thai it was true
economy to print and circulate extensively "leaflets" in explanation of the work.

A list of all the publicalions on hand, with specimen copies, is also herewith presented.

We have reason to bless God for good accomplished by means of recent " Hoii'e Missionary
Conventions" held in the Synods of New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Ohio and New York. We
cordially lliank the pastors and the Synodical missionaries who, by their efficient aid, have helped to
make these Conventions a success.

The annual meetings also of many Presbyterial Home Missionary Societies now organized have
tended erreatly to increase interest in this cause In its every dejiartmcnt.

Now, at the commencement of another year, we desire to " reach forth to those Ihings that are
before." The Lord Is opening the way for an onward movemer'l. It is the universal voice of lli'>pe
best able to judge that in the education of the young, especially in their being trained into the know-
ledge of the Gospel, lies the best hope that Mormonism may be undermined, aud ihe Indian be ele-
vated to a recognized place as a Christian citizen.

All which is res|)ectfully submitted;

APPENDIX

LADIES' BOARD OF MISSIONS.

135

In presenting the Fifteenth Annual Report of the work of this Society for missions in our own
land, let us gratefully review all ihe way our Heavenly Father has led us, and the work which
through this agency He has permitte<l us to do.

NEW MEXICO.

At Taos, the Rev. Mr. and Mr.s. Roberts have labored faithfully for ten years. A school was
opened, and in 1874 a church wrsanized of ten members. Since that time seventy-six members have
been received by baptism and confession of faith. Out of this church has grown the little church at
Rincones, and the churc^hes at Ocale and Cinicero are also the results of Mr. Roberts' labors. The
schools have increased from one to five.

The school iit El Raiuhon hasi been re-opened under the care of Miss Brown, whose labors, how-
ever, have l>een much impeded by the prevalence of tlie small pox. In fact, this dread disease, and
others nearly as infectious, have seriously hindered the progress of our schools in New Mexico, aa in
several places they have been closed by order of the authorities. Such has been the case at Santa
Vk. the earliest station occupied by our missionaries. The mixed character of the population of the
capital of the Territory has always been a serious hindrance in mission work. Miss Allison has
continued her faithful services inthe Mexican Mission School. A new feature has been added to
the Academy in the opening of a Kindergarten under the care of Mrs. Carpenter, formerly one of
our managers. This year has witnessed the completion of the new church, which will add dignity
and efficiency to the work of our denomination at Santa Fe.

At Las Vegas there has been much tn discourage during the past year. Small-pox broke up the
school in the summer and invailed the mission building.

At El Rito, in tlie Agua Negra Valley, a very successful mission has been in operation since
1875. A church was organized in 1S79, and the school carried on by a Mexican convert, Mrs. Juanila
Sandoval. Last year it was taught by Mr. Maes, a native licentiate, under whose care It improved
and flourished.

In 1880 another school was opened in the Agua Negra Valley, at " Ilolman's Ranch," eight
miles ilistant. This school has been taught this winter by Miss Maggie Fleming, who has met with
kindly treatment, and reports cheerfully of good progress. !^he has enrolled twenty-two scholars,
and says she is surprised at the rapid progress they have made this winter.

Mrs. Tibbals, who opened a successful school at (ilorieta, was removed last summer to another
field, but the school and Sunday-school have been kept up by Miss Wiimor, a young lady already on
the grounil, wlio brings to her work a love and enthusiasm which ensure success.

In Colorado the mission schools have been superseded by the public school, for which the people
seemed prepared. Thus Miss Grimstead's Houri-nhing little school at Cockrell was given up, though
we hear that one of the advanced pupils is teaching the little children.

Miss Ross exchanged her toilsome position at San Luis for a new school, opened last fall, at
Costilla, N. M. Here an interesting little church has been organized, and although it is several
miles from her school, Miss Ross and her co-laborer ride every Sunday to conduct the Sunday-school.
The same sad story of fatal epidemic disease, which cut down the brightest pupils, has lately come
to us from this station.

The most difficult branch of the New Mexican work, at least one where progress seems the slow-
est, is that among the I'ueblo Indians. The schools at Laguna and Zuni " are moving on in a quiet
way, sowing the good seed of the word."

UTAH.

In this vast Territory, in the face of overwhelming odds, our missionaries have pushed bravely
and steadily onward.

First in size and importance is the Salt Lake Institute, of which Prof Coyner sends an encourag-
ing report. The school, which was opened in April, 1875, with thirty pupils, now numbers 225, with
accommodations f)r thirty boarding scholars. Over forty of the pupds have united with the church,
and several of the graduates are now teaching in different parts of the Territory. One of these is the
able assistant of Miss Galbraith at Manti, where ihe school continues to flourish ; seventy-seven
pupils have been enrolled during the year, with four boarding scholars from a distance, and she
reports much interest in spiritual things, as well as in the daily studie*.

At Ogden our excellent teacher. Miss Campbell, reports over fifty enrolled in her department of
the school, all of whom attend the Sunday-school.

With still less that is pleasant or encouraiiing in her surroundings. Miss Julia Olmstead labors
on at Richfleld. She has enrolled thirty-ofie pu])ils this winter, with nearly as many in the Sunday-
school, while many more attend who refuse to enroll their names. She writes of much interest man-
ifested and ddigent study of the Bible by a number of her pupils.

ALASKA.

Proceeding still farther north we come to the most distant outposts of our mission — on the shores
of Alaska. The year just past has seen much to cheer as well as to sadden our missionaries. Mr. J.
L. Gould and his family reached Fort Wrangell early last spring, and he proceeded at once to his
station among the Hydah Imlians, where Mr. Chapman had already opened a school. Pi caching
and singing services largely attended, and a school of 165 pupils.

In 1S77, Clah, or Philip, a converted Indian, first preached to large congregations of his country-
people at Fort Wrangell, and secured several converts. In August of that year Mrs. A. R. McFarland
was induced to open a school at Fort Wrangell with Philip as her assistant. After the death of this
latter the following year, this remarkable woman was alone in charge of the mission and performed

136 APPENDIX.

iLe duties of teaclier, iiiiuisler, (fovernor aii.l jutlgo. In 1879 Kev. S. Hall YounK arrived and organ-
ized a churcli oflweiity-Uiree members. Mrs. McFarlaml, feeling the great need of a home and pro-
tectory for the young girls in her school, toolc several into her family and appealuil to the t'hristiaji
public fur a building in which to shelter tlii^m lri>m lives of shame and train them to useful Chrisliaii
womanhood, .\ugust, 1880, witnessed the fultillinent of her hopes, when a modest, but comfortable,
wooden building was opened, with suitable exercises.

Last summer Miss Kate llankin was sent out as her assislant, and since that time we ha\e
received the most encouraging reports, until one sad day when the intelligence was flashed over the
wires—" McFarland Home burned February 9tli, with all its contents. No one injured."

We trust that ere long another and better " Hmne" will arise on the ruins of the old one, ard
that the school will move ou with new life, endeared as it is to all our hearts by the sympathy and
labors culled forth on its behalf

In North Carolina the aspect of our school work is most cheering. In Concord Miss Carr and
Miss Lurkins conduct a school of ninety pupils, most of whom i>ay a small tuition fee.

Whitehall Seminary has cause to rejoice on the return of Miss Ufford, with renewed health, to be
its principal. Mr. W. wrote that "the work besrun at Kocby Ridge and Concord has done more to
remove prejudice in this seciion of the country than every thinsr else that has been done since the wai."

This is the record of a year's work which we briuir to ttie Master's feet, beseeching Him to pur^'e
out all that is unworthy, and to accept and crown witli His blessing what His children have sought
to do.

A sad minor chord mingles with our thanksgiving, and the tears fill our eyes as we rememl er
that she in whose great heart and active brain this organization was born is no longer with us in <ur
assembly. The Home Mission work has special cause to bless her, as it owes to her interest and faith
its (irst impulse among the women of our cliurches. This year brings to a close the connection of
this iJoard with the Board of Home Missions, and although we trust that the cause of Christ in our
own land will be greatly advanced by the new arrangement and division of labor, still a feeling of
sadness comes over us as we write "the end" on this page of our history.

WOMAN'S HOME AND FOREIGN MISSIONARY SOCIETY
OF THE SYNOD OF LONG ISLAND.

We record with gratitude our progress In the past year. We have had an addition of ten
auxiliaries, and five Mission I'.ands, ami these are exhibiting energy and zeal in their work. The
monthly meetings of the Board have been well attended, and the earnest inquiry of many has been
"Lord what wilt Thou have me to do?"

Last year we reported our co-operation with the Woman's Executive Committee of Home Mis-
sions. We have found good results working out of this union. Circulars, leaflets and appeals for
aid have been freely dilifused, and many whose interest in missions has l)een small by reason of
ignorance, have been stimulated to ready sympathy and helpfulness, by the information thus gained.
We llnd in most cases of apathy, lack of information is the cause.

In Utah, where the obstacles are so great in the way of the free course of truth, our progress is
slow but it is sure. Truth is stronger than error and it must prevail. In that faith we labor and
pray and take courage. We are aiding in the support of schools in Ei)hraim, Mt. Pleasant and
Brigham City, all of which are under good and able teachers, and are making their influence felt
on the side of truth and feared by its enemies. Wo earnestly ask for the privilege of enlarging this
most important work. AVe have done so to some extent in assuming the support of one of the
teachers at Albuquerque, New Mexico, and another at the Choctaw Orphan School, Indian Territoiy.

Will some of the favored disciples of Christ who are dwelling in the sunshine of prosperity
bestow upon us the means of increasing these nurseries of the young, that they may be trained into
good citizenship and redeem the land lor Him. who has given us this goodly heritage V Nothing in
the Universe is so worthy of our devoted energies. Nothings brings such a compensation. " We
work tor Eternity."

BOARD OF FOREIGN MISSIONS

PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

PRESENTED TO THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY, MAY, 1883.

NEW YORK :

MISSION HOUSE, 23 CENTRE STREET.

FORTY-SIXTH ANNUAL REPORT.

The Board of Foreign Missions presents to the General Assembly
the report of the work under its care for the year ending April 30,
1883, and also the Minutes of its meetings, in the manuscript volume,
for the same period.

The Board also reports the death of Mr. William E. Dodge, one of
its members. Under date of February 13, 1883, the following Minute
was adopted in reference to this event : " The Board having learned
the sudden death of Mr. Uodge, who had shared its counsels for twelve
years, and was present in apparent health at its last meeting, would
record its high appreciation of his Christian character and its deep
sense of the loss which the cause of missions has suffered in his de-
cease. Throughout his long and useful life he had been distinguished
for his love and support of the cause of missions at home and abroad,
and his benefactions had flowed forth freely toward this and every form
of Christian beneficence ; yet the liberality of his bestowments was
scarcely more marked than the firm and conscientious principle with
which he contended for the cause of truth and righteousness in all the
relations of life.

"Resolved, that, while mourning the loss of the deceased to the
Board and the general cause of missions, we would extend our heart-
felt sympathy to his bereft wife and family, commending them to the
God of all comfort in this hour of sore trial."

JFinances.

The accounts of the Treasurer will be found at the end of this
report; see pages 1 21-123. I^ ^i'^ ^^ seen that the receipts of the
Board from all sources, from April 30, 1882, to April 30, 1883, includ-
ing the balance from last year, have been $656,237.99. Its expendi-
tures in the same time have been $669,620.95. Balance against the
mission treasury, April 30, 1883, $13,382.99.

It gives the Board great pleasure to acknowledge a considerable in-
crease in the receipts of the treasury over the amount received in any
preceding year. And it is also encouraging that the income of this
year represents a larger number of churches, a still greater liberality

4 ANNUAL REPORT.

of the Women's Boards, and an increased sum from the bequests of
our departed friends, than was reported a year ago ; and closely con-
nected with this was the sending out of a larger number of returning
and new missionaries than in any former year. For all these evi-
dences of blessing on this cause, thanksgiving should be ascribed unto
God.

The income of the Board reached a larger sum than was included
in its estimates at the beginning of the year ; but the expenditures in
some respects, for instance in the new mission to Guatemala; unex-
pected expenses in Persia which became unavoidable ; new roofs and
other large repairs to several buildings in difterent countries ;
considerably increased the outlay of the year beyond what was ex-
pected, so that a small debt remains. The Board regrets the occur-
rence of this debt, but does not make too much of it. It can not be
regarded as showing that too great a work has been undertaken ; at
any rate no such conclusion would be justifiable without further light.
On the contrary, the income of the year, flowing into the treasury
without any request for unusual collections from the churches, and
without special appeals to individual donors for further aid, must be
regarded as coming from the grace of God in the hearts of His peo-
ple, moving them to advanced action in His sacred cause. The Board,
with deep gratitude, recognizes the marked encouragement of this
financial report. And with such growing support as it may hope to re-
ceive, not only will the debt be removed, but an enlarged work for
Christ and for the unevangelized can and will be done — to the praise
of divine grace at home and abroad, on earth and in heaven.

The Board is glad to acknowledge gifts of the Board of Publica-
tion, the x^merican Bible Society, the American Tract Society, and the
American Sunday-school Union — donations of much value, in publi-
cations printed or given directly to the missions, and, therefore, not
included in the Treasurer's report. Neither are included the moneys
given by the United States Government, and by three of the Indian
Councils, towards the support of certain boarding-schools — funds
which were expended under the supervision of the official agents of
the donors respectively. The only expenditure for Indian and for all
other missionary work, by the Treasurer of the Board, was made from
the funds as acknowledged in his report.

Publications.

Of the Afinual Report for 1882, the number of copies printed was
4,800. These were all distributed excepting a few copies. Of The

Copley, of the Omaha mission — for sufficient reasons. Mr. Wil-
liam Fish, a Creek licentiate preacher, died in January. He could
not preach in English, but in his own language he was an earnest and
eloquent speaker, and his being called from his work is a serious loss
to his people. His departure was full of peace. The new laborers

merhorn, Choctaw mission ; Rev. J. N. Diament and his wife, Mr. J.

MISSIONS AMONG THE INDIANS. 9

A few persons were received by letters, but the table only enumerates
those who were received on profession of their faith — one hundred
and fourteen. The Deep Creek church was amicably transferred to
the charge of a Congregational missionary, but a part of its members
living near the outstation of Wellpinit, united in the organization of a
church there. The members of this church are mostly, if not all,
Spokans. The other new church in connection with the Nez Perce
mission is composed of Umatilla Indians. Both are favored with the
services of native licentiate preachers from the Nez Perce reserve.
Their self-denial in going to these outposts, leaving their own people
and their homes to live and labor among strangers, secured the warm
approval of their missionary friends, and doubtless the blessing of Him
in whose service they are engaged.

Various Notes.

Of the Seneca Mission the report speaks with great thankfulness of
new interest at the chief station on the Cattaraugus reserve. After a
long time of declension, the year ended with revived earnestness in the
church, and a cheering addition to its members. This was closely con-
nected with a persistent effort by the missionaries and the members of
the committee of missions of the presbytery to enlist the church in self-
support. This effort was successful ; the first step was taken after many
years of neglect, and now all are grateful for this good beginning, and
for the spiritual blessings which have followed it. On the Alleghany

reserve, seven members were received, and the same number died,
leaving the whole number unchanged. The practical supervision of
the presbytery, through its committee, already referred to in one re-
spect, is recognized as of general service.

The Chippewa Mission has occupied a sub-station at Ashland, a few
miles from Odanah, where Miss MacLarry is now stationed, and where
a small dwelling-house and chapel have been erected for the Woman's
Board of the Northwest. The native minister at Odanah, through age
and infirmity has withdrawn from most of his active labors. The board-
ing-school had but a few scholars, and it is not likely to have more, even
if it be kept up, unless children from other Reserves shall be brought
to it. This could be done at a moderate cost, by the efforts of Gov-
ernment ; but these seem not likely to be available. The day-school
at Odanah is well attended, owing in part to a lunch given to the schol-
ars at the expense of the Government. Much disappointment was felt
in the turning aside to secular work of a native, whose services had been
engaged as a missionary laborer. The outstation work on Lac Court
d'Oreilles is continued, but not with marked success. The training of
native laborers, and visits to some of the seven Lake Superior Reserves!
will probably occupy much of Mr. Baird's time hereafter ; a work much
needed, but of much difficulty among these 5,000 Indians, living in
widely separated bands.

In the Omaha Mission the boarding-school suffered loss from the
removal of so many of the scholars to one of the Government schools
in the east, but others less advanced have taken their places. This
school is supported in part by the Government grant of $100 per scholar.
The church, after passing through some discouragements, seems to be
now in a hopeful condition. The number of Omahas is about 1,200,
in a semi-civilized state, mainly through the work of the mission.

The Wifinehago Mission is still without large visible result, except
a better attendance on public worship, and the growing intiuence of
the missionary. A dwelling-house will be completed in a few months,
at an expense of Si, 000 to the Board, which will not only give an in-
dispensable home to the mission family, but will lead the Indians —
1,500 in number — to regard the church as taking a permanent interest
in their welfare. The ministers in both the Omaha and Winnebago
tribes are no longer young men. Mr. Martin, in his report, urges the
importance of soon securing such men, especially in the hope of their
learning the vernacular in each case, as of great moment to their use-
fulness.

The Dakota Mission makes an encouraging report. The old work
at Yankton Agency and vicinity is going forward with increased inter-
est. The new work at Ft. Peck, on the upper Missouri, is steadily
gaining influence. The Rev. M. E. Chapin and his wife expect to be
settled in a short time in the same district. The Sioux, of various
names, but all of one family, are sujjposed to be the largest body of un-
evangelized Indians on our North American Continent. Probably no
better door of access to them can be found than at Ft. Peck and its
vicinity. The mission there ought to receive energetic support, in-
creased rather than lessened by the self-denial and discouragements

MISSIONS AMONG THE INDIANS. II

which will mark its earlier stages. But alieady signs of promise begin
to appear. Too much sympathy and conunendation can hardly be
given to the two single ladies, for their part of the work that seems to
be so well begun. Mr. Wood is laying the foundations of future use-
fulness, by acquiring a knowledge of the Indian tongue, besides holding
services now through an interpreter.

The Iowa and Sac Mission affords little material for report. The
missionary was absent from his post of labor, at his own charges, for
several months, on account of his wife's feeble health. When at home
he was well received by the Indians. They are few in number, and a
good deal unsettled by the question of their removal to the Indian Ter-
ritory.

In the Creek Mission the boarding-school has been removed from
Tullahassee to VVealaka. Thereby a larger and better building is occu-
pied, in a place more within reach of the influential part of the tribe.
In both places the property belongs not to the Board, but to the Creeks,
who have shown great liberality toward their favorite school. Its be-
ing settled in a new building involved a large amount of labor. It is
noteworthy that its superintendence has returned, unsought, to the ex-
cellent and able missionary who began the school at Tullahassee. In
later years it was greatly indebted to the faithful labors of the late
Rev. VV. S. Robertson, whose memory will long be precious among the
Creeks. The number of scholars is increased to loo at VVealaka, and
nearly as many more applied for admission when the school was re-
opened, but could not be received. Soon after the reopening of the
school, serious sickness prevailed for a while, adding greatly to the cares
of the missionaries ; but this passed away and the regular duties of the
classes were steadily fulfilled until in March, when a case of scarlet fever
led the teachers to send the scholars to their homes for a week or two.
It is hoped that the spiritual results of this school will be manifest in
the future as they have been heretofore.

At Tullahassee, in the early part of the mission 3'ear, the school of
twenty-five boys was kept up with the consent, and in part at the expense,
of the Indian school authorities. Mrs. Robertson, aided by Mrs, Craig
and Miss Green, continued in the successful charge of this school until
the end of the school year. The religious instruction imparted by the
ladies was evidently attended with the divine blessing, aud they had the
happiness of seeing nine converts received as members of the church of
Muscogee, seven miles distant, whose minister and elders had taken
much interest in the meetings held at Tullahassee. The school prop-
erty at this station, so long occupied by the Board, will hereafter be in
the use of a school for colored scholars, by the direction of the Creek
trustees. May its future course be as useful as its past !

Preaching services have been maintained at various places, particu-
larly by Mr. Ferryman, the native minister. He has also rendered some
aid to Mrs. W. S. Robertson, in her work of translating the New Testa-
ment into the Muscogee or Creek language. In this she is now spend-
ing the evening of a life long and earnestly devoted to the welfare of
these Indians. Mr. Loughridge is also engaged in translating the book
of Psalms into the same language. The later months of the year among

the Creeks witnessed serious trouble between hostile parties. These
difficulties can not be described here, and may soon be ended. If kept
free from internal feuds, and unmolested by unprincipled white persons
from the adjoining States, the Creeks and other tribes in the Indian
Territory may hope, before many years, to enjoy the blessings of Chris-
tian citizenship in our country, taking rank among our best people.
And, if so, they will surely bless the God of Christian missions for these
agencies of their prosperity and the hope of eternal life, which a
goodly number of them already possess.

In the Seminole Mission^ rumors of trouble from lawless persons in
the western parts of the adjoining district were, for a time, not a little
alarming, but the year ended without disturbance. The boarding-
school is doing a noble work here, and the Indians have the faithful
services of some of their own sons as preachers of the Gospel, them-
selves signal proofs of the blessing of God on this mission. The con-
trast in this tribe is great, since the Rev. R. M. Loughridge, now of the
Creek mission, found them on his visit, hastening to wreck and ruin,
after having been defeated in a war with the white people, and gained
their reluctant consent to his preaching to such as might choose to hear
him, provided he remained only in a certain small place ! They owe
much to his labors and those of the brethren who took up the work
and carried it on with the divine blessing, until now the Seminoles are
becoming a Christian and civilized people. Among these successful
laborers for many years has stood the faithful missionary still in charge
of the mission.

The Choctcnv Mission^ now as formerly, is chiefly represented in
the principal boarding-school of the tribe for boys, known as Spencer
Academy. A new building has been erected by the Council, for its
use, in a much better place, and affording improved quarters for teach-
ers and scholars. The arrangements for fitting up and furnishing the
new building here, as for the Creek school at Wealaka, cost a great
deal of labor and inconvenience to the missionaries, so far removed
from towns and stores ; but in both cases the Indian Councils showed
a praiseworthy liberahty in defraying the expense. Spencer Academy
was reopened in November, with a full attendance of scholars. Some
of them had little previous training, and it was no easy matter to clas-
sify so many large boys according to their knowledge, and secure their
study of the lessons ; but the missionaries are well qualified for the
work, and able to make a good report of its progress. Here also, as
at Wealaka, sickness invaded the school, causing great trouble for a
time. In this school, as in all the Indian schools under the care of the
Board, careful and earnest attention is given to the religious instruc-
tion of the scholars. The brethren have not been able to enter on
preaching services at places yet within reach ; the pressing work at
Spencer did not permit them to be absent; but after the school is
fully under weigh it may be found practicable to enter on wider labors.

The Nez Perce Mission, under the efficient labors of the missionaries,
has enlarged its borders without lessening its work at home. A new
church was organized over the line in Washington Territory at Wellpinit,
on the Spokan River, embracing some members of the Deep Creek

MISSIONS AMONG THE INDIANS.

13

church, and another church was formed on the Umatilla Reserve, Ore-
gon. The returns of both churches are given in the table of statistics.
In both the labors of the Nez Perce minister and licentiate preachers,
encouraged by Mr. Deftenbaugh, were of the greatest value ; and they
were hardly less useful to the two Nez Perce churches on their own
Reserve, leading them to prize more highly the blessings of the Gospel,
and to enlarge their views of Christian duty toward the Spokans and the
Umatillas. Besides his visits to more distant places, Mr. Deftenbaugh
has kept up his work for the Nez Perces ; and the two ladies, Miss
Sue McBeth and Miss Kate McBeth, still conduct their very useful
schools for the education and training for usefulness of men and women.
The interest of the churches at Lapwai and Kamia has been weMf
maintained. Few missions of the Church have enjoyed greater proofs
of the blessing of God than have been granted of late years to the work
for the Nez Perce, Spokan, and Umatilla Indians.

In general, the work of the Board for the Indians must be regarded
as healthful and hopeful. The preceding pages show that these mis-
sions are going on as well as in former years ; and they are conducted at
a moderate expense for such a large and varied work, among twelve
tribes amounting last year to but $31,359.60 from the funds of the Board.
More men are needed in several fields, two or three at an early day to
prepare for keeping up the work now conducted by aged men, and
several to enter upon new stations, particularly in the region of the
Upper Missouri River. Both men and pecuniary means are required
for this enlarged work.

The statistics of the Indian work of the Board from 1867 to 1883
are here given They will be regarded as decidedly encouraging. In
order to see their force, it is needful to remember two things, that several
extensive missions which had been broken up by the war in 1861, have
been but partially resumed ; and that the three missions received by
transfer from the American Board in 1871 and 1872, included only five
ministers, one native minister, five ladies, 379 communicants, and 151
scholars.

As to the transfer proposed by one of the Presbyteries of a part of
the Indian missions from the charge of the Board, several of the mis-
sionaries have expressed earnest adverse convictions, regarding it as
injurious to their work. None of them favor this measure, so far as
is known ; but no inquiry has been made as to their views of the sub-
ject.

14 ANNUAL REPORT.

In the nomination of persons for appointment as Indian agents,
no report here seems to be called for. It is understood that the
Government, through its Secretary of the Interior, no longer looks
to the Missionary Boards for these nominations, though no formal no-
tice of this change has been given to our Board. The recent removal
of an upright and efficient agent, appointed some years ago on its
nomination, and the alleged character of his successor, seem to show
that the old policy of making these appointments is again in force.
But the influence of the manner of making appointments, in use from
1870 to 1877, and less completely in use from 1877 to i88t, can not
but remain in the public mind. The Missionary Boards are relieved
■from a difficult and a delicate duty ; and while mistakes have sometimes
been made by them, particularly as to the efficiency of some of their
nominees, it is yet true that there was a great improvement over the
plans previously followed ; and the attention of the country was turned
to the im])ortance of having good and able men in these agencies.
The great abuses so common in former times are not likely to be
generally tolerated hereafter.

MISSIONS IN MEXICO.

Southern Mexican Mission.

Begun in 1872 in the City of Mexico ; laborers— Rev. J. M. Greene and his wife,
Rev. S. T. Wilson, Miss Laura M. Latimer, and Miss Fannie C. Snow ; Rev. Messrs.
Arcadio Morales, Hipolito Que&afia, Daniel Rodriguez, Manuel Zavaleta, Procopio
Diaz, Heziquio Foreada, Enrique Bianchi ; eight unordained preachers, about fifteen
native teachers.

The mission has sustained a great loss during the year in the resig-
nation of Mr. and Mrs. Ogden, on account of continued ill health on
the part of Mrs. Ogden.

Rev. S. T. Wilson has been added to the missionary force and has
made such progress in the language as to promise full service at an
early day. With the exception of some temporary illness on the part
of the teachers in the girls' school, the missionaries now in the field
have been blessed with health. The attitude of the General Govern-
ment has continued to be favorable to the mission work, and the prog-
ress of the country in all material development has only rendered it
more important to redouble all the means of evangelization in order
to subsidize the rapid transitions of the people to the furtherance of
the Gospel. Otherwise the growth of scepticism and all corrupting
influences may hereafter prove more difficult to overcome than the
blind superstitions of the past and the present. Great changes are
inevitable in Mexico, and this all statesmen and intelligent citizens
now feel. And while the most influential of these openly favor the
introduction of Protestantism, it is the grand opportunity, the crucial
period, in the history of the Republic. In no other mission of the
Presbyterian Board has the response given to missionary eftbrt been so

prompt and so generous. Nowhere else have richer harvests been
gathered. No Christian nation ever had a fairer field, or one more
open and accessible and fruitful than that which now presents itself just
across our southwestern border. The mission report, after giving the
total membership of the princii)al portion of the field at 5,067, says :

'•We prefer to drop out, in block, the work in Guerrero, instead of
retaining a part of it — 573 members — as did the report of last year,
as, in fact, the returns are uncertain, all we can learn from our two
Bible-readers who work among the 32 scattered congregations in that
State, being that the brethren, in general, are true to their Christian
belief and are anxiously awaiting the day when the mission can send
them ministers — a thing which can not be done under the present
fanatical Governor." It is a significant fact in relation to the charac-
ter of the persecuted Christians of the 32 congregations of Guerrero
that two of them who fled to Southern California have there so faith-
fully preached the Gospel to the Spanish-speaking residents that a
flourishing religious community is the result. Thus the refluent tide
of missionary influence returns to bless our own land. During the
year the mission has suffered the loss by death of one of its ministers,
the Rev. Benjamin Pascal.

During the year the following new congregations have been opened :

Liraapan, minister, E. C. Salavar, attendance 70

"El Barrio," " H. Forcada, " 60

Poxtla, " O.Vega, " 18

San Andres, " Del Areo, " 30

Ecacingo and Tejomachusco, minister, L. Alitarre, attendance 55

Agustadero, under the Zitacuaro ministers 126

The past year has seen steady growth in the girls' boarding and day-
school in the City of Mexico. The school had at the end of the year
a force of five instructors, 100 enrolled day-scholars, and 13 boarders.
The mission has also supported, in whole or in part, in the City of Mexi-
co and elsewhere, 9 other schools, under 10 teachers, showing a total
enrollment of 340.

The Theological Seminary in the City of Mexico has been well .sus-
tained during the year, the missionaries giving instruction three hours
a day on the following subjects : Theology, Church History, Homilet-
ics, Evidences, Introduction of Greek Grammar, Exegesis, and Com-
parative Creeds. The number of students in the seminary, or in prep-
aration for a theological course, is 13. To these should be added 8
others in Zitacuaro, who pursue theological studies under the care of
Mr. Rodriguez, as he and they are able.

The Press has done the following work, nearly all the labor of type-
setting and printing being the gratuitous offering of the theological
students :

An edition of 4,000 Shorter Catechisms.
" " " 3,000 Provisional Hymn-books.

Sunday-school lesson leaves, 500 a month for the past four months,
a dozen tracts and leaflets, 50,000 copies, 300,000 pages.

A detailed account of some of the churches will exhibit the thrift
and promise of the work.

MISSIONS IN MEXICO. I7

In the City of Mexico two congregations are included in one mem-
bership, and are presided over by Messrs. Morales and Diaz. The
total membership is 573, additions 26, Sabbath-school 155, contribu-
tions $187.09. At Vera Cruz, Mr. Quesada is doing an humble but
faithful work, having added 23 to the church membership, which now
numbers 400 ; Sabbath-school, 22; contributions, $56.37.

At Toluca Mr. Zavaleta has a church of 89 members, and a Sab-
bath-school of 50. Fifteen members have been added during the
year.

In the State of Michoacan Mr. Rodriguez has charge of five churches,
with a total membership of 1,165 ; Sabbath-school pupils, 130 ; chuich
members added, 102 ; estimated contributions, $230. .

Mr. Bianchi has charge of four congregations m the same State,
with 746 communicants and 66 Sunday-school pupils; members of
church received, 92 ; estimated contributions, $270.

The licentiate, Juan Alvarez, has also in Michoacan seven congre-
gations with 753 communicants and 80 Sunday-school pupils ; ad(L'd
during the year, 155; contributions (including some gifts for a new
church previously given, but not reported), $1,320. The totals for ihe
work in Michaocan are these : communicants, 2,064 ; additions during
the year, 439. The promise of the work in this Western State of tlie
Republic is so great that the missionaries have seriously considered
the question of making it the chief centre of the mission.

As encouraging facts bearing upon the development of self-help
among the native population of Michoacan, the following extracts are
made from the correspondence of the Rev. Mr. Greene, relating to
the building of the church in Zitacuaro :

" The land on which it stands was donated by Mr. Rodriguez, who
has also supervised with great care the whole process of building, so
that we have a most solid, durable structure of stone with shingle roof,
which would not dishonor even an American village. It is a plain ob-
long structure, sixty feet by twenty-seven, finished with hard walls,
ceiling of painted muslin and floor of brick. The pulpit, tables,
benches, and some very pretty carved ornaments over the doors and
windows mostly represent the work of four young men in the Zitacua-
ro church who are supporting themselves by the labor of their hands,
and at the same time studying in preparation for the ministry. The
structure has cost ^2,600. Of this the people themselves have given
^1,090, the list of contributors representing no less than ninety per-
sons and the sums ranging from twelve and a half cents to $674.51.
The rest has been furnished by the mission, the last $300 being given
by the Woman's Missionary Society of the Synod of Long Island."

The following facts are much of the same character, and are not
less encouraging. They relate to a cabinet organ :

"On receiving it here with three others, the gift of a son of Mr.
Cyrus W. Field, at my house in Mexico, I notified the brethren in
Zitacuaro, 150 miles away to the west, and they sent me three mules.
Two of the instruments were ' Baby Organs,' and were packed in one
box. With great care these huge boxes were lifted upon the backs of
the mules and skillfully fastened by means of ropes to a kind of stout

l8 ANNUAL REPORT.

j)ack-sacldle, on which they rested. Thus they were borne in five suc-
cessive clays to Zitacuaro City. But Jungapeo is 3,000 feet lower and
it was not possible to convey them down the ?teep declivity on mule-
back. Accordingly eight brethren from Jungapeo started one morning
early, walked fifteen miles to Zitacuaro, and returned in the afternoon
over the same road, bringing the organ on a sort of bier with four
handles, relieving each other, of course, at intervals. These brethren
were very poor, but they volunteered this service and performed it
with great heartiness. Let me give you another instance of the self-
hel))fiilness of this Zitacuaro people. When the walls of the church
were complete it became necessary to secure sixty stout beams thirty-
six feet long. • To have bought them in Jungapeo would have cost
$90. A good brother in Ahuacate, eighteen miles away, hearing of
their net-d, sent them word that they were at perfect liberty to enter
his pine forest and cut all the beams they needed, free of cost. The
offer was promptly accepted. All the oxen in the neighborhood be-
longing to the brethren or their friends, were brought together, num-
bering thirty yoke, with two men to each yoke. On a Monday morning
they started. Brethren along the road gave men and oxen their meals
and cared for them at night. Three days were necessary for the round
trip, so that by Saturday night the thirty-six miles had been twice
traversed and sixty fine beams were ready to be placed on the walls.
The oxen were furnished without charge. The sixty brethren each
gave a week of their time without cost, and the work was all done as
a voluntary offering to the Lord."

In the State of Hidalgo a newer but interesting work is being car-
ried forward by Mr. Forcada, assisted by Mr. Evaristo Hurtado.
Communicants reported are 486 in number, 60 having been added
during the year. In the Jalapa district are three congregations, under
the care of Mr. Pompeyo Morales, having 120 communicants and 25
Sabbath-school pupils ; added, 20; estimated contributions, $15.00.

Other small congregations are reported as follows :

Culhuacan, Mr. Vega, communicants, 46 ; contributed $29

San Lorenzo, Mr. Espinola, " 115 ; add., 10; S. S. 68.

Capulhuac, " Gomez, " 39 ; S. S. 25 ; con 1,95^

Chimal, " " " 100 ; S. S. 25 ; " 18

Tizapan, in charge of students, com. 100; " 25; " 18

If the 573 heretofore reported in the State of Guerrero be added,
the total membership in our Southern Mexican mission is 5,640.

If men and means were at hand it would be desirable to establish
new full stations in Michoacan and Hidalgo, with two resident mis-
sionaries in each. It is confidently believed, also, that with the acces-
sion of a less fanatical Governor Guerrero may become one of the
most fruitful fields.

In this country : Mrs. Wallace,

Monterey and Saltillo.

During the year Rev. Harvey Shaw was added to the missionary
force, and Mrs. H. C. Thomson returned to the field after a leave of
absence.

Miss Abbey Cochrane was removed from the mission by marriage.
Mr. and Mrs. Thomson found it necessary on account of ill health to
change their post of labor from Monterey to the higher altitude of Sal-
tillo, where a new station has been formed which is well chosen in
many respects, and especially as a central point for the training of
young men for the ministry. It is seventy miles south of Monterey,
and on the line of the projected railroad to San Luis Potosi. Owing
to the illness of Mr. Thomson and the chief native preacher, the num-
ber added to the church is smaller than that of last year. The total
membership is 540.

The number added during the year is forty-eight. Twelve pupils in
boarding-school are reported, and twenty-one in day-school.

The report of the mission speaks of various difficulties connected
with the work of education. Compulsory and free education on the
part of the Government diminishes the demand for missionary schools,
except so far as they are required for training up helpers, and for the
children of Protestants. The compulsion does not prescribe the kind
of school patronized, and the law is satisfied if children are reported as
actually attending a Protestant school.

The girls' boarding-school is now located on the premises beloniging
to the mission.

20 ANNUAL REPORT.

Should a change of location become a necessity, it is believed that
this i^roperty could be sold or exchanged to advantage.

The labors of Mr. Thomson have been given to a variety of work.
Itinerating among the churches, teaching a theological class, publish-
ing hymns and tunes, preparing text-books lor theological students, and
general supervision.

Miss Thonison, though ill for one month, and greatly interrupted
by changes and improvements made in the school building, has made a
successful year, assisted a part of the time by her sister, and for a time
also by Miss McKnight. A woman's society and prayer-meeting have
been started. An additional teacher is greatly needed in the school.

Mr. Shaw has assisted in the repairs of the building and in general
supervision, while giving chief attention to the language.

Zacatecas»

Although the Zacatecas field is one of the most interesting and
fruitful in Mexico, the Board has failed for the past two years to re-
ceive formal reports of its various departments of work. The statis-
tics of the field, therefore, can only be approximately given, being
made up partly from letters received during the year and partly from
the reports of the year previous. The Rev. I.. M. de Jesi, M.D., has
been laboring in Zacatecas and the surrounding outstations during the
entire year, devoting himself in part to the practice of medicine, and
partly to pastoral and itinerary work. His labors have been most
abundant and successful in both departments. In the early part of
the year, upon a tour in which he visited 7 or 8 principal outstations in
the northern part of the field, he baptized 61 persons, 40 of whom
were organized into a church at San Bartolo, a place of great fanati-
cism. The following extract is from his letter of September 5th :

" Three weeks before I arrived there a large crowd of over 2,000
persons gathered for an attack on our congregation, who were at wor-
ship at the time, and who were only saved by a force of soldiers who
arrived acc'dentally in their pursuit of a band of robbers. The chief
of this force established order promptly, after which, with his men he
attended the services during that day and the next. The last night's
services were prolonged until 12 o'clock, and 40 adults were baptized,
in connection with the administration of the Lord's Supper. Forty-
eight others declared their love of Christ ; but it was thought best to
give them a period of probation before being received."

The same letter states that at Sombrereta there are about 40 well-
tried Christians, but it was found impossible to administer the sacra-
ment of baptism on account of the great fanaticism of the city and
the want of an efficient guard. Fifteen or twenty earnest Christians
were found at Durango, where it seems very important to organize a
church. In the building up of these country congregations it is very
essential to secure permanent places of worship. For example, in
Fresnillo, which has a population of 6,000 people, with a Protestant
congregation of 200, there is no place in which that number can as-
semble. A grant or aid of $1,200 would enable the people to secure

MISSIONS IN MEXICO. 21

a church, the necessary balance being raised by themselves. In San
Juan, Guadalupe, the brethren ask for a lot which will cost about
$ioo, upon which they promise to erect a chapel themselves. In
Santa Clara the people will build a chapel if they can secure a grant
of $85 for lumber. It seems highly important that the Board should
be able to assist congregations like these which, in their poverty, are
so ready to help themselves. The work in Zacatecas owes much to
Dr. G. M. Prevost and his family, who, though not connected with, or
supported by, the Board, have rendered very efficient help. About
the beginning of the year a chapel was secured, largely through the in-
fluence of Dr. Prevost, and fitted up for Protestant worship. This
property, which was obtained on a long lease, belonged to a former
monastery, and had been for a long time used as a hotel, instead of a
church. It is capacious and attractive since the changes and renova-
tions have been made by the mission. One wing of this structure
will, it is thought, serve admirably for school accommodations, and it
is to be hoped that during the coming year a flourishing school may
there be established. On the 3x51 of July, the mission suffered a great
loss in the death of Signor Mota, who had been the principal native
preacher of the station, and a man of great power and eloquence.
The new church, though at the time not completed, was opened for
his funeral, which was attended by about 400 persons, 300 of whom
joined in the procession to the cemetery. Dr. Prevost {^reached an
impressive sermon in the church, and the native preacher, C. Sandoval,
made an address at the grave. The occasion was one of great im-
portance, as it served to arouse the attention of the peoi)le to a sense
of the magnitude of the Protestant movement. The event caused
great alarm to the bishop and the priests, who, from that time, pub-
lished in two different papers the most violent charges against the mis-
sion, and particularly against Dr, Prevost. On the i6th of June the
new church edifice was dedicated, a building second only to the cathe-
dral in that city. Large numbers attended the services not only from
Zacatecas, but from the surrounding outstations. The mayor of the
city and many liberal citizens were also present. It is estimated that
800 persons were assembled, many of whom could not gain an en-
trance within the doors. A choir of 20 voices, led by Severo M. Pre-
vost, gave great interest to the occasion. Three short discourses were
preached, after which 68 persons, 57 of whom were then and there
baptized, were admitted to the church, and partook of the I>ord's Sup-
per. A large crowd of the fanatical Catholic population assembled in
front of the church, but the presence of the mayor and leading citi-
zens, with the guards furnished by the Governor, deterred them from
violence. With the accessions made then, the church in Zacatecas
reached a membership of 625, of whom 150 had been received within
two or three months. Since that time other accessions have been
made. A large Sabbath-school of 250 is in active operation, and
it is believed that with the opening of the day-school at least 100
pupils could immediately be enrolled. Steps have already been taken
to secure an efficient teacher to superintend such an institution.. In
the medical work, while Dr. De Jesi, our missionary, has accomplished

much, a great deal has also been done by Dr. Prevost, entirely at his
own charges, among the poor. His work is the more to be appre-
ciated because in doing this gratuitous service he has suffered greatly
in his general professional practice by the prejudice created by his
active sympathy with the Protestant cause. At one time his life seemed
imperilled. At the same time that violent charges were published
against him, under the authority of the bishop, the Catholics had
well-nigh succeeded in sujiplanting the present Liberal Governor.
Through timely information, however, the plot was discovered, and the
mob which had expected to attack the congregation was thwarted by
the substitution of a new police force for that which had been bought
over to the service of the bishop. All the letters received during the
past year, both from Dr. Prevost and members of his family and from
our missionaries, have urged with the greatest emphasis the need of re-
inforcements, as the work is evidently too great for those now on the
field. Some points, particularly San Luis Potosi and Durango, are in
danger of passing into other hands for want of an efficient husbandry
of the work already begun. A gentleman visiting Zacatecas wrote to
the Board in December as follows : " Having just returned from a three
weeks' visit to Zacatecas, I am constrained to say that it seems to me
that the best work for the money and time expended that I have yet
seen in Mexico, and I have seen all the work of the Southern field, is
that of Zacatecas. The local congregation is the largest that I have
had the ple.^sure of addressing anywhere, and yet, for all the Mexican
families residing there, there are no schools, nor orphanges, nor print-
ing presses, all of which are found so important in the City of Mexico.
They have no native preachers, and as they are without a training-
school, this want does not seem likely to be met, without the inaugura-
tion of some more efficient means. The want of a primary school is
also very great. The children of Protestants in Zacatecas are sent
during the week to Catholic schools, in which both the teachers and
pupils vent upon them their fanatical prejudice and hate. One boy
was recently almost killed by a Catholic companion. Teachers could
be secured if a school was organized and funds were at hand. There
are young men connected with the church also who might soon be-
come good preachers if trained for the purpose." The present is a
critical time for the mission in Zacatecas, There has been a great
awakening followed by a cruel persecution. There is great curiosity on
the part of the people. The Protestants, for the time, are under the
protection of the State Governor, but all this is liable to change. 1 1
is now a time of golden opportunity, and the work should be vigorous
and well sustained, but the lack of funds, teachers, schools, and tracts
operates as a great discouragement to the missionaries. Fifteen con-
gregations are without preachers, and all are without tracts or any ad-
vantage of a press, with which to answer the insults and misrepresen-
tations of their bitterest foes. " In the large cities of Mexico there
are crises in which the people are stirred and their attention is fixed on
Protestantism, and at such times more can be done in one year than
can be accomplished in ten, after the opposition is turned into indiffer-
ence. Such a crisis is upon Zacatecas. It is the time to strike."

MISSIONS IN SOUTH AMERICA. 23

In the autumn the Rev. T. F. Wallace returned to Zacatecas, afier
a leave of absence of some months, and, although no report has yet
been received from him, his various letters show that he has been
busily employed most of the time in itinerations southward to San
Luis Potosi, and also in the northern stations as far as Durango.

MISSIONS IN SOUTH AMERICA.

Mission in the United States of Colombia.

Bogota : the capital of tbe country ; -situatecl on an elevated plain ; latitvifle four
decrees north ; climate temperate ; population estimated at 80,000; occupied as a
mission station 1856; missionary laborers— Rev. M. E. Caldwell and liis wife ; Rev.
T. H. Cundor ; Miss Kate McFanen and Miss Margaret Ramsay ; two native teach-
ers.

The Staff of laborers has been strengthened during the year by
the arrival of Rev. T. H. Candor, June 22.

The mission station at Bogota is situated in the center of a large
mission field of growing importance. Foreign capital and foreign
improvements are making the country more and more attractive, at
least so far as they affect material progress and liberty of thought.
Signs of progress are constantly visible ; wire fences, better im-
proved farms, more commodious houses, the introduction of sewing-
machines, iron bridges and telegraphs, building of rolling-mills and
railroads, all betoken change and improvement. The telegraph now
connects Bogota with the rest of the world. The gold, silver, and
emerald mines of the country, once so alluring to foreigners, are now
giving place to furnaces, rolling-mills, and railroad enterprises. One
of the railroads in process of construction will soon connect Bogota
with the large steamers on the Magdalena River, thus giving easy
access to the coast and to all the various climates and fruits between
the torrid and temperate zones.

It will also give quicker access to cities of considerable size on
the plain of Bogota and elsewhere, as well as afford a speedier
change of climate for the sake of rest and health.

These improvements will undoubtedly bring with them much more
enterprise, energy, and competition into the country, and thus serve
to break up the barriers of superstition and prejudice which stand
in the way of moral progress.

The people are bound to move away from the old ruts of igno-
rance and superstition. But where and to what their faith will

drift, is nn important question. Rolling-mills and railroads, and im-
proved machinery, material enterprises, can not convert the soul.
They may prepare the way in some measure for the truth, but un-
less Christ and the Gospel are presented and pressed upon the
people with earnestness and love, they will be worse off, as the change
would be from a blind and superstitious faith to no faith at all.

Bogota being the capital of the Union has gathered about it much
reiinement and wealth and is adopting from year to year more and
more of the advantages which belong to the cities of the North.

"The English, Germans, and Americans have brought with them
strange stories of the wealth and grandeur, as well as of the stability
and superiority of their governments. These things have awakened
an ever-increasing desire on the part of these people to go to visit
these lands.

'' The highest ambition of many seems to be to gather money
enough to visit New York or London. Many of the young physi-
cians and dentists go to Philadelphia, New York, London, or Paris
to complete their education. Thus the superior advantages of
Protestant institutions and Protestant civilization are universally
conceded, and this fact goes a great way toward softening down
harsh prejudice against Protestantism and is more and more pre-
paring the way for the Gospel."

Liberal Ideas.— ''''YjVQ.xv many devout Catholics have caught much
of the spirit of progress and love so as to be considered liberal in
their ideas toward Protestants. While the majority of the ruling
and intelligent class of people in the country (at least so far as our
observation has extended) believe in the free exercise of private opin-
ion ; it is also true that those who rule the political affairs of the coun-
try have but little faith in religion of any kind, while their families, so
far as the female portion is concerned, are generally bigoted Catho-
lics, and even they themselves who profess to be liberal in their
ideas acquiesce and give external reverence to the superstition of
Romanism. Then, the liberty which many of the free thinkers de-
sire, is not the liberty of the Gospel, but the license to free them-
selves from all holy restraints. And since it is easier to drift with
the current than to oppose it, and as very few even of the most
liberal have much knowledge or faith in anything better than Rom-
anism, it is not difficult to understand why a Protestant church in
such a community must labor long and patiently under many diffi-
culties before much fruit can be expected."

Encouragements. — Heretofore this mission has labored under great
discouragements, such as only those intimately connected with it
could possibly understand.

For many years there was no church building in which to wor-
ship and no certain house in which to dwell. Then the laborers
have always been few at any one time, and the greater part of these
have from one or more reasons left the field when they were only
about ready to use the language to good advantage.

" Now," says the report, "we have both a church and a mission
house free from debt, and both are in a very good state of repair.

26 ANNUAL REPORT.

During the past year more than $270 have been expended in repair-
ing the church, the greater part of which was replaced in the mis-
sion treasury by the gifts of the people.

" The appearance of the church is decidedly improved and is
much more cheerful than heretofore."

School and Native Helpers.

The school for girls has been under the supervision and the care
of Mrs. Caldwell, Miss McFarren, and Miss Ramsay. It has a
good location, good school-rooms, and many other advantages and
attractions. There are also four Christian young ladies brought up
and educated by the mission, who are about ready to enter upon
full duty as teachers in the school.

One of these gave nearly all her time to teaching during the past
year, and the other three spent part of their time in teaching and
part in their studies. Much is expected from them, not only in
the school, but as active workers for Christ in the years to come.
They have been especially useful in the past year by their singing in
the prayer-meetings and church services, and two of them have
been very successful Sabbath-school teachers. Miss Ramsay writes
that there was little if any spiritual interest manifested among the
pupils.

Additions to the Church. — Whilst the additions to the church have
not been very great during the past year, yet there have been some
earnest, faithful ones gathered into the fold ; and there has been
and is still an earnest spirit of inquiry.

Four or five persons are looking forward to being soon received
into the fellowship of the church, and others are seriously con-
sidering their duty. Since the report was written there has been
an earnest religious awakening in the church.

Prayer-Meetings. — " These have been especially encouraging, and
the number of those who have been willing to take part in prayer
among the recent members as well as those who have been members
for a longer time have given us reason to hope for still greater bless-
ings in the future."

Boys' School. — A school for boys is one of the first needs of the
mission. And this will require increased funds and at least one
good Christian lady teacher. All the schools in Bogota are conducted
either by infidels or by the Roman Catholic Church. It is there-
fore important that a good institution for the training of youth
under right religious influences be established as soon as possible.

School for Girls. — " It is also our earnest desire that the girls'
school be reinforced with at least one good teacher, and that in
time Mr. and Mrs. Caldwell may be permitted, by reason of reinforce-
ments in the girls' school, to give their whole time, or at least a
much greater part of it, to the church and city missionary work.

"According to present arrangements no one has time to do much
real missionary work among the people. And in our judgment we

MISSIONS IN BRAZIL. 2/

thus lose one of our main chances to gain an influence over those
who are not already interested in our work.

" If a boys' school is undertaken, Mr. Candor's time and that of a
lady teacher will be largely occupied in that work, so that we will
still need more help or at least a reinforcement in the girls' school
before we can have much opportunity to come in contact with the
people as we would like to do, and as we believe from past experi-
ence is highly necessary for any great success in our mission work."

pected that congregations will be gathered that in time will become

Whilst 172 were received on profession of their faith, the net gain to
the membership is only 16. This discrepancy is owing to the great
decrease in the membership of the Brotas church. For some years,
owing to removals and to new organizations springing up and covering
part of the field, the roll of communicants was gradually reduced, but
it seems that care had not been taken always to remove from the roll
the names thus dismissed. This has been done during the year. Some
of the churches have not reported their membership.

Sao Paulo.

During the absence of Mr. Chamberlain much of the work of this
station came upon Mr. Howell. Rev. Mr. Morton preached regularly
once a week when in the city. Here as in Bahia, Rio Janeiro, and
other i)laces Rev. Maxwell Wright, an evangelist, held a series of re-
ligious services, preaching a ])ure Gospel with great earnestness, direct-
ness, and power of illustration, much to the profit of many. Mr.
Howell speaks of his own method of preaching during the year, as
" Avoiding as far as possible all controversy, but seeking to convince
my hearers of their need of an inward spiritual life and to lead them to
Christ as the only one who could supply their soul's need and give
them life and peace and holiness." As a result of this course he
mentions a notable increase upon the services, and apparent deepen-

MISSIONS IN BRAZIL. 29

ing of spiritual life, and quickening zeal among the church members,
together with numerous conversions. Another encouraging sign has
been the large attendance upon the weekly lecture and the presence of
the three married daughters of a wealthy and influential Baron residing
near the school, together with their children.

The young men of this church organized at the beginning of the
year a Society for Christian Work, 'i'heir efforts have been prmcipally
directed to missionary labor among the _,Itahans. Regular services
have been held among them every Sabbath by two Itahaii members
of the church. A weekly service, conducted by an elder and other
members, has been maintained at a village six miles north of Sao Paulo.
One person, the head of a large family of this village, recently made
a public profession of his faith. Some other members kept up a
weekly prayer meeting in one of the suburbs, and others gave their
services to a mission Sabbath-school, which is distinct from the church
Sabbath-school.

Mr. Chamberlain writes " that a spirit of liberality has accompanied
the movement for the building of a new house of worship. Yxom. the
Ladies' Auxihary Society, Sabbath offerings, Juvenile Missionary Soci-
ety, and special subscriptions the sum of $2,225 '^^s been contributed.
Larger subscriptions payable during this year will swell this amount.
On December 2d we laid the first brick of the new edifice and the
foundations up to floor level followed speedily." The completion of this
much-needed building and the aid received from friends in the United
States and in Brazil will be reported in due time.

The day-school has been thoroughly graded upon the basis of a seven
years' course — three years in the Primary School and four years in the
High School. The attendance at the close of the year was 100 — 53
boys and 47 girls. Of these, 51 were children of believers and 49
were from Roman Catholic fauulies. There was an increase of the
number at the beginning of this year.

The Girls' Boarding School has been under the direction of Miss
Kuhl and Miss Dascomb, who report a successful year. There were
15 boarders. Some of these are supported by funds sent from home
societies. " Their advancement, not only in study, but also in the de-
velopment of their character, has been very satisfactory. We rejoice
to say that God's Spirit has been with us and that several of our family
give evidence of conversion, showing by their lives that they are fol-
lowing Christ." Those who are aided from mission funils are expected
to become teachers or Christian workers, and are taken at an age when
they show ability to study and give promise of future usefulness.

The Imprensa Evangelica, which is regularly published at Sao Paulo,
is reported as " doing a good pioneer work, and brings us into commu-
nication by letter with persons interested in the Gospel in sections of
the country where no preacher or missionaries have ever gone, and we
often see extracts in our many exchanges in widely separated parts of
the country. It has 755 subscribers in twelve of the twenty provinces
in the empire."

30 ANNUAL REPORT.

Sorocaba.

Rev. A. P. de C. Leite, who is a faithful worker, sends the following
report of the field cultivated by him :

" As the Rev, Mr. Landes had taken up his residence at Botucatu,
near to Rio Novo, the church at the latter place, which was under my
pastoral care, was transferred to him by the Presbytery at its last
meeting.

"On the 9th of April, 1882, I organized a church at Guarehy with
four members, and baptized at the time two infants. There are sev-
eral other persons there who are preparing to make a profession of
their faith.

" Of the three young men who were studying with me, one is already
in S. Paulo studying under the direction of Mr. Howell, who, at my
request, made arrangements for him there. The other two were un-
able to continue their studies, on account of being obliged to support
themselves by farming. One of them, especially, is very sorry that he
has not the means to go on with his studies.

" The boy who was with me, my hope for the future, was taken
away by his father, who, being very poor, needed his services.

"On the ist of October, 1882, we commenced worship in our new
chapel, which is now completed inside. We need, however, regular
seats and to finish up the outside. In the erection of our church we
have had to contend with many difiiculties, as our people are nearly all
poor. Since we have been holding the service in the new building,
however, the attendance has been very encouraging, and there are al-
ready several newly interested in the cause of Christ."

The statistics of Sorocaba and Faxina, churches to which he minis-
ters, are found in the tabular statement.

Rio Claro.

On the return of Mr. Da Gama he resumed his labors at this place,
and the school is again under his care and that of his daughter. Miss
Eva Da Gama. Mr. Lenington has undertaken work in the Valley
of the Parahyba, and has charge of the Lorena and Crozeiro churches.
Besides ministering to them, he has preached in several of the larger
towns located on the railroad between Sao Paulo and Rio Janeiro, and
had good congregations m all of them.

Mr. Da Gama writes of a spirit of inquiry among the people, and of
an increased number calling for religious conversation^ New meetings
for prayer and study of the Bible had been commenced. The attend-
ance on preaching had steadily unproved and the prospects for growth
were encouraging. On the first Sabbath of the year ten were received
into church tellowship on profession of their faith. Six of these were
from the orphan school — tne first-fruits of this institution. This in-
gathering has had a happy eftect on others. In this boarding-school
are 16 boys and 15 girls, who are carefully instructed in the Bible, in
secular knowledge, and are taught to help themselves. These recite

MISSIONS IN BRAZIL. 3 1

with the day scholars, who number about 25. The attendance on
Sabbath-school is from 60 to 80.

The school at Limeira has 20 pupils, and that of Pirassinunga has
i8. At these and other outstations connected with Rio Claro the
teacher or the Bible-reader has conducted religious services on the
Sabbath and sometimes during the week,

Botucaiu.

Mr. Landes has devoted his time to proclaiming the simple truths
of the Gospel at this and other places. The number of converts at
Botucatu is small, but several are expecting soon to make a public
profession of their faith. The gentleman who gave the property men-
tioned in last report, continues a warm friend of the mission. The
school is flourishing and numbers 41 pupils. Besides the church of
Rio Novo, which has been placed under the care of Mr. Landes, he
has visited the other congregations four different times in ten months —
Lencoes, Bom Successo, and Viado. Each trip required a ride on
horseback of nearly 200 miles. Three persons were received into the
church at Lencoes on examination and 8 children were baptized. The
believers here are very much scattered, and on this account it is very
difficult to bring them together for religious services. One who united
with the church has suffered in his worldly affairs by reason of his ad-
herence to the I'rotestant faith, but he is willing to suffer if thereby he
can glorify God. At Bom Successo there are 25 or 30 adult members.
Two were received into this church on profession of their faith, and
4 children were baptized. Six other persons were anxious to unite
with the church, but they were advised to wait till the next communion,
so as to be more thoroughly acquainted with the doctrines of the Gos-
pel. The school has 14 pupils. At Vivado is another community of
believers, numbering about 30 members. One was added to the
church. These scattered communities need not only the presence of
one who can instruct them in divine things, but the teacher and the
colporteur are also required to educate the young and to read the Word
to those who are unable to read it for themselves.

There are brief notices of the churches at other points in this South-
ern field. Senhor Zacharias has labored at Brotas and Dous Corregos
amidst some discouragements. Sr. Torres has been happy and pros-
perous in his work in the provinces of Minas Geraes. He is laboring
also with his pen in combating the errors of Rome. Sr. Eduardo is
located at Campanha, about 15 leagues from Caldas, where Mr. Torres
has his residence.

Rio de Janeiro.

Mr. Houston has been encouraged by the arrival of an associate in
Mr. Kyle, whose experience in the pastorate at home will be of great
service in his new field. Mr. Houston reports the work growing in
interest at this important centre. " The attendance on the services
has improved greatly during the last few months, especially on Sabbath
evenings, when a great many outsiders are present. Quite a number

are thinking of making a profession, but for some reason are not yet
prei)arecl. One obstacle to an increase of the Sabbath-school is, that
the members are so scattered and at such a distance from the church
that they can not send their children." One or two new places for
preaching will be opened during the year. The colporteur has sold a
number of Bibles and Testaments, and a great many religious books
and tracts. Two visits were made to the church at Ubatuba — one by
Senhor Trajano, who remained nearly a month, preaching to the peo-
ple. Twelve made a public profession of their faith in Christ. Mr.
Houston remained with them 12 days, when ten new members were
received. Visits were also made to Petropolis, but no immediate fruits
have as yet appeared.

Bahia.

The regular Sabbath and weekly services were maintained during the
year. Nme persons were received into the church by profession and
8 adults and 7 children were baptized. Nearly $60 were contributed
for various purposes. The catechetical class was kept up with an
average attendance of about 30. In the women's department the in-
struction was given orally for the most part, and the interest was well
maintained. There was also another service held in a different part of
the city under the care of the native laborer. Colportage was em-
ployed as a means of reaching the people with the truth, both in Bahia
and Cachoeira, and 66 Bibles, 127 New Testaments, 645 volumes of re-
ligious works, and 7,000 tracts, to the value in all of $480, were put
into circulation. There were also 90 copies of the Lnprensa Evan-
gelica taken.

Cachoeira was visited once a month by one of the missionaries. The
QDlporteur residing' in that place maintained services the intervening
Sabbaths. A few persons gave some signs of interest in the truth, and
the circulation of books and tracts was larger than the previous year.
The work, on the whole, does not wear an encouraging aspect. Visits
were made to other places and the Gospel preached in them. The
people were ready to listen, but no spiritual results were seen.

now in this country. During the year the Rev. William E. Dodge wa^
sent out by the Board, but was subsequently called to becouie associate
pastor of the Union Church in Valparaiso, by which his support as well
as the expense of his passage was assunied. The Rev. W. H. Lester,
about the same time, was sent to the mission and was assigned to San-
tiago, where he has already entered with much vigor upon his work.
The Rev. A. M. Mervvin has continued his successful work at Valpa-
raiso. The Rev. S. J. Christen has continued to act as pastor of the
church at Santiago, at the same time conducting a boys' school. The
Rev. S. W. Curtis is still at Concepcion, where at present he is com-
pelled to assume the care of the entire work of the station. The need
of at least one more man for that station is immediate and pressing.

The Spanish church in Valparaiso, under the care of the Rev. Mr.
Merwin, has had a prosperous year. The number of adherents, young
and old, connected with his congregation is given at 255. The regidar
attendance is 150 ; communicants, 82 ; additions during the year, 26.
The Sabbath-schools, two in number, aggregate 125 pupils and teachers.
After stating that the past year has been the most prosperous of any
in the history of the mission, Mr. Merwin adds: "We note with spe-
cial gratitude that 26 persons, after due probation and examination,
have come forward to make public profession of their faith in Christ,
and to enter into covenant relations with His church. A gain of near-
ly 40 per cent, on the previous membership is certainly a most cheer-
ing result."

The Union church of Valparaiso (which, though self-supporting,
gladly identifies itself with the work of our mission, and Dr. Trumbull
counts himself as really a part of our mission force), reports an average
attendance of 350 in its morning congregation, and has two Sabbath-
schools of about 80 pupils each. During the last year 45 persons
were received into the church, about one-half of them on profession.
The present membership is 200. Two weekly prayer-meetings and a
Young Men's Bible-class in the pastor's study are among the agencies
employed. This church has almost from the first borne an important
part in the mission work proper in Chili, giving large attention to the
work of Bible distribution and the dissemination of religious papers,
and also to the work among seamen in the port.

In the city of Valparaiso, a man is needed to take charge of the Es-
quela Populare, an institution mainly self-supporting, but holding con-
nection with the mission. Effort has been and is still being made to
find a principal for this school, and also an experienced female teacher
for the female department.

This institution has been liberally supported by merchants of Val-
paraiso, who hope to make it the foundation of a large and flourishing
institution, for higher Protestant education in Chili. Messrs. Balfour
& Co. have placed at the disposal of the school suitable buildings with
accommodations for over 200 pupils. The day department has iSc
pupils ; the boarding department has 12. The increase in attendance
has been 40 per cent, over that of last year. " The current expenses,"
says Mr. Merwin in his report, " have been almost entirely met by
donations here and by the sewing class, many of the pupils attending

church and Sabbath-school. A good matron and a building erected
for the purpose have been secured for the boarding department (' Shel-
tering Arms'). Contributions are made toward the current expenses
by friends in this country. A bazaar was held in March to raise
funds for the purchase of the buildings now occupied." A semi-
monthly paper has been issued, 14,400 copies of Spanish tracts, and
various articles have been contributed to the daily papers.

I'ne church in Concepcion, organized four )ears since by the Revs.
lineas and Robert McLean, has had, on the whole, a history of
niarked success, but has suffered during the past year from the illness
and final removal of two of its missionaries. It reports three additions
on examination, and the baptism of ten infants. Two members have
died. 1'he total membership is not reported for this year. An efficient
work, has been carried on at this station by the publication of a Prot-
estant paper, which, while exciting more or less animosity on the part
of the i)ai)al extremists, has greatly won the confidence of the liberal
portion of the community by its strong leavening influence in the ele-
vation of Southern Chili.

The church in Santiago, under the care of the Rev. S. J. Christen,
reports an attendance at the Sabbath services of from 30 to 70. The
average attendance at Sabbath school is 23, the number of communi-
cants'26, and the number of baptisms during the year, 6. Services
have been maintained at the Canadilla station by Signor Angeli. A
great obstacle to progress in Santiago is pointed out in the dependence
of the poor (and most of the Protestants are poor) upon the wealthy
for employment, the latter class being for the most part bigoted Cath-
olics, or skeptics. " The artisan class are, moreover, mostly connected
with associations which are essentially infidel, and the largest number
of the educated and liberal party in the country belong to the positivist
school of Compte, and are passive or indifferent. Still, important and
interesting things are occurring, and never was there a time better
suited to missionary and reformatory work. The leading journals of the
country are advocatmg a separation of Church and State : the ma-
jority in Congress is in favor of this, as are also the President and his
Cabinet. There is no doubt that within a year or two this separation
will come, and an enlarged sphere of usefulness will be opened." An
interesting point in the report of the mission, as well as in the recent
missionary correspondence, is the fact that a special Legate, or Nuncio,
who had been sent out to Chili by the Pope of Rome, was sent back
by die Government, the proposed papal interference being rejected.
All the letters received indicate a great change as now taking place in
all parts of the Republic.

• An important sign of the times is seen in the following extract from
a letter of the Rev. A. M. Merwin, written at Valparaiso, March 4th :
•' Yesterday an editorial appeared in the oldest and most conservative
daily of this city, that is really cheering. It calls attention to the
threats of the clerical party, who menace the Government with revo-
lution and a war in case their demands are not met, and shows that
the people are too far advanced to follow ultramontane leaders.
' The Catholic religion,' it says, ' which is based on the Gospel, and

MISSIONS IN CHILI. 35

which springs from the divine teaching of the God-Man, will always
be our religion ; but that which has for its interpreters those who
amalgamate the basest passions with the preaching of political and
anti-liberal dogmas, which the Curia Romana has wished to convert
into religious dogmas, that will be the religion only of the ignorant, of
that inconsistent group who obey the priest only because they see him
with a gown, and believe that beneath that black rag there is hidden
the Spirit of Jesus Christ.' "

The following is equally significant and is taken from the same
letter : " Last night at our prayer-meeting an ex-Congressman, a law-
yer, quite advanced in years, made a few eloquent remarks to thos'*
present. He urged them as they loved their country and valued the
salvation of their souls to give heed to the Gospel, and to open their
souls to Christ, who is the incarnation of the truth. The hearers,
nearly fifty in all, were much moved by this address from a country-
man of his position, who was a perfect stranger to them. He resides
in Santiago and has maintained cordial relations with one missionary
there for several years ; has also written excellent articles for the
press signed ' Un Prctestante Chileno.' "

At the same time evidences of the greatly increased confidence
toward our missionaries by the Government are shown, the venerable
Dr. Trumbull having been repeatedly consulted in regard to matters
of public interest by those high in authority. The trustworthiness and
self-denying toil which have characterized his mission work through
these years have been most thoroughly appreciated, and if the Presby-
terian Board, through its representatives, shall be able to maintain the
prestige and influence which its work has already gained, great and
blessed results may be expected to follow. A most earnest call has
been made in nearly every letter received, for men to engage in a
similar work at various points northward along the coast, Callao, Iqui-
que, etc., where are already many American and British residents,
whose sympathy and aid might be counted upon in maintaining re-
ligious services. Thus far, however, the Board has been unable to fur-
nish either men or means for this work. At the mission meeting
held January gth, 1883, the following resolutions were unanimously
adopted :

" That the mission again calls the attention of the Board to Callao
and Iquique, beseeching that men may be sent to preach to the En-
glish residents in each of these places, in the hope of ultimately reach-
ing the native people of Peru with the Gospel of Christ.

" That as Christian men and missionaries our hearts ache at the
thought of the dreadful immorality and spiritual destitution prevailing
on this coast, as well as the indifference of the Lord's people in other
lands to the deplorable state of things.

" That after Valparaiso these are the largest and most influential
ports south of Panama. Prominent individuals in both places have
signified a wish that our men should be sent, and are ready at once to
aid in the support of qualified laborers."

The total number of missionaries, including Dr. Trumbull, is 5 ; of
communicants, 272 ; number added during the year, ^^^ pupils in the
school, 180 J Sabbath-school pupils, 125 ; church attendance, about 200.

Partial reports have been received from the churches and schools in
Liberia. The number of communicants in the church of Monrovia is
57, of whom two were received last year. The church of Clay Ash-
land reports 43, of whom 10 are new members. The church of Sinoe
reports 82, of whom 10 are new members. No reports have been re-
ceived from other churches ; the report of the year before last gave
20 for the church of Marshall, 25 for Schieffelin, 19 for Grassdale, 8 for
Carysburgh, and 6 for Brewerville. The church at Sciiieffelin has
been greatly favored in the building and complete arrangements of a
handsome stone church, through the liberality of Mr. H. M. Schieffelin,
of New York, one of Liberia's best friends.

The report of the Clay Ashland school enumerates 6t, scholars,
mostly in the primary department, in which Mrs. Wordsworth, now
Mrs. Ethrige, assisted Mr. King. The others are in the academical
classes, from which some will soon pass to the college. In New Tom's
station 21 scholars are reported; at Sinoe 17, until the school was
discontinued on the return of Mrs. J. R. Priest to this country; at
Pleasantville 8, until the removal of Mrs. Waters, now Mrs. Nurse, to
Gibeah, farther inland, where she expected to teach a native school ; at
Brewerville 39, taught by Mrs. Jones as an assistant in the primary
department of Mrs. Barboza's school. These returns are not large,
but they are of some importance in view of the imperfect provision
for the support of public or common schools.

The laborers connected with the Board are but few in number :
three ministers, not including one suspended, two teachers, and three
female teachers. One of the ministers is now aged, and no longer
equal to the good service which he has been doing for forty years at
Sinoe. More ministers are evidently needed, especially if the Gospel
is to be preached in the interior. One new minister is under appoint-
ment, a graduate of Howard University, and a member of the presby-
tery of Fairfield, who is expected to embark for Liberia in May or
June. Others have the question of their duty as to going to Africa
under earnest consideration. And three young men of good promise
are under the care of the presbytery of West Africa as candidates for
the ministry ; they are, however, only in the earlier stages of the

38 ANNUAL REPORT.

course of studies. It is hoped that the College of Liberia will now be
conducted with greater vigor. Two new professors will soon arrive in
Monrovia, and the president of the college is also on his return from
a visit to this country. The schools are doing good, especially those
at Clay Ashland and at New Tom's station. Six of the scholars in
the Clay Ashland school were lately received as communicants.

Three things seem very needful to the success of the mis-
sionary cause in Liberia. First, a greater number of well-
qualified and earnest laborers ; second, a much greater spirit
of self-support, in both churches and schools, by the Americo-
Liberian people; this is deeply felt by all the friends of Liberia
in this country, and particularly by the missionary boards of the
five denominations having at heart the establishment and spread
of Christian work. And third, a more vigorous effort to give religious
instruction to the aboriginal people living in Liberia, in large number,
and in "the regions beyond." The last two of these essential matters
should be urged on the attention of our friends in Liberia. It must
be readily conceded that these things, self-support and evangelizing
work for the natives, have not been altogether neglected by the Americo-
Liberians, whose temporal circumstances are in most cases very
limited, but there seems to be great need of a deeper interest in them ;
and for all three, prayers should be made without ceasing that God would
give large measures of His grace to all connected with the extension
of the Gospel in Liberia and the^regions of the interior. The field of
Christian labor in Western Africa, accessible from the Liberian coast,
ought to be one vigorously cultivated. The day of small things must
not be despised ; but the Church should look for progress far greater
than has yet been made.

How far the colored churches of our country will supply ministers
for Africa is not yet settled. The names of three were recommended
for this service by the Synod of Atlantic at its last meeting, but no
application for their appointment has reached the Board. A former
graduate of Lincoln College, under appointment as a missionary, was
led to remain in this country, as also a medical graduate, who had
been appointed to Liberia. But great as is the home field and deep
as is its need of educated ministers, the work in Africa is greater ; and
great would be the influence on the churches here of active and ear-
nest missionary work abroad ; indeed, it may well be doubted whether
these home churches will rise to full prosperity, unless they endeavor
to extend the Gospel to the dark countries from which their fathers
came.

and Misses Nassau, Jones, and Wali<er. returning, have all arrived in
this field. Mr. Peter Menkel came to this country on a visit for his
health, and after some months returned. In his absence Mrs. Menkel
was called to her rest. She was held in much esteem as a faithful and
excellent missionary, and deep sympathy is felt for the four children
deprived of her care, and also for their father. Everything was done
for them that could be done. Henry M. Bacheler, M.D., and his wife
have lately returned to this country. In reporting the health of the
mission, the Rev. R. H. Nassau, M.D., gives a most favorable ac-
count of the families at Benita and on the Ogove ; at Gaboon and its
vicinity also a favorable report in general is given, though not of com-
l)lete exemption from sickness. A temporary leave of absence may
be expedient in two or three cases. The return of Mr. Walker, after
about forty years, all, excepting the time of his visit to this country,
spent at Gaboon, is soon expected. This is partly owing to his infirm
health, and partly to his desire to superintend the printing of the
Scriptures as translated into Mpongwe. Dr. and Mrs. Bachelers re-
turn is owing in part to considerations of health. In his medical re])ort,
above mentioned. Dr. Nassau refers to a subject of interest when he
specifies the fine health and promise of the four infant children, bringing
with happy cares great enjoyment into as many homes. In these
homes, with their new attractions, new examples of priceless value are
set before many heathen families.

In reporting the progress of this mission, returns of the churches
and schools may first be enumerated, and afterwards accounts given of
the ditferent phases of the work.

40 ANNUAL REPORT.

Religious Progress. — In the villages on the sea-coast north and
south of Benita, there has been much encouragement in mission-
ary work. The! regular visits to the outstations h.ave been well re-
ceived, while at Benita the attendance on public worship often exceeded
the liuiits of the chapel. The native helpers were usually welcomed
on their journeys, and in some places were able to sell not a few
copies of Christian books ; on his last visit to Banaka and Evune,
outstations north of Benita, Mr. De Heer sold a good share of these
books. The sales during the year amounted to $50 in native currency.
To the church twenty-one new members were added, including some
from the outstations, making the whole number 278. The catechism
class was increased in number.

In Corisco the native minister and the native licentiate preacher
make a better report than was given last year, though it was necessary
to separate several persons from the church, completing, it was hoped,
this painful duty.' The number of communicants was thus reduced to
62. But a larger attendance at public worship and in some cases
apparent earnestness of attention lead to the hope of better days near
at hand.

At Baraka and other places in the Gaboon part of the field no
special encouragement was manifested. A somewhat serious trouble
resulted from the conduct of the French authorities on the Gaboon
River. In seeking to arrest and punish one of the natives they fired
on the town of Nengenenge and destroyed it. This involved the loss
of a house belonging to the mission, and personal i)roperty of one of
the missionaries ; in all, the loss was about ^700 in value, which the
authorities refused to make good when a respectful application was
made to them for that purpose. This matter has been referred by the
mission to our Government, but as yet without redress.

The usual services were held at Baraka, the church being under Mr.
Walker's charge, until the end of the year, and at Rembwe the native
minister reported efforts to make the Gospel known ; but no increase
is mentioned in the number of native members of the church. The
seed sown will yet bear fruit.

Mr. Marling, whose station above Nengenenge brings him in con-
tact with the Pangwes, refers to his satisfactory intercourse with them,
their willingness to listen to the Gospel message, and their disposition
to give up cannibal practices, at least so far as those who live nearest
the station are concerned.

At Kangwe a few converts were added to the church, and some are
regarded as showing interest in Christian instruction. Here and at
other places on the Ogove the Pangwe people are gaining the control
of towns belonging to feebler tribes, and they are likely to become
possessors of the coast country between the Ogove and the Gaboon
Rivers, and even north of the latter. As yet no converts have been
made from this large and energetic tribe. For them especially, and
even for some other tribes, missionary labor is only at its beginning.

The Schools of the Mission, as a means of the conversion of the
youth, and their training for usefulness, have continued to occupy a
large place in missionary Tabor. At Benita, the girls' boarding-school, un-

MISSIONS IN WESTERN AFRICA. 4I

der Mrs. Reutlinger's and Mrs. De Heer's earnest work, has borne good
fruit. And the school for boys, at first under the charge of Mr. De Heer
and afterwards of Mr. Gault, was also well kept up. The customs of
the people as to early marriage, and the power of a father to sell his
daughter as an additional wife to a polygamist, are sometimes sad
hindrances ; but, on the whole, there has been encouragement. A
similar report, though in less degree, is made of the small school for
boys at Corisco, where the native licentiate ])reacher aids the native
minister in these and other duties. At Baraka, the schools were great-
ly injured, for a time, by the serious misconduct of several of the
older scholars ; the necessary discipline led to a number of dis-
missals, and in some cases still worse results soon followed.
It would seem sometimes almost impossible to prevent deplorable
evils, growing out of heathen depravity and corrupt foreign influences.
But it was hoped this trouble would be a useful part of needed disci-
pline. The average attendance and improvement in the schools for
the year were as usual, under the care of Mrs. Bushnell, Mrs. Ogden,
and Mr. and Mrs. Campbell. At Kangwe, the boys were under Mr.
Robinson's care, and "the small but very satisfactory girls' school"
was in the charge of Mrs. Reading and Mrs. Nassau. One of the girls
was received as a member of the church. At the end of the year
under review several changes were made in the work of the teachers,
which will be more fully reported next year.

The most important step, probably, was the decision of the mission
in January, to form a theological training-school at Baraka, at the out-
set, to be under the instruction of the Rev. A. C. Good. Perhaps
some young men from other parts of the coast may attend this class,
thereby avoiding the injurious influences of their education abroad,
and keeping them in close connection with the native work to be done
in Africa. It is instructive also to note that the brethren see clearly
the evil results which too commonly follow education in English.
Their rule, as stated by Mr. Walker, is to begin with the vernacular,
and not to teach English until good progress has been made in the
native language ; afterwards instruction in English is given to a few of
the scholars. At Baraka about one in five among the boys, and one
in six among the girls, have added some knowledge of English and
lessons therein to their vernacular studies. The want of text-books
in the native languages seems to render acquaintance with English in-
dispensable for the present.

To Translating the Scriptures, Mr, Walker has given a large part of
his time. "The books of Samuel, Kings, Ezra, and Nehemiah have
been translated. Part of all the translations of other books have been
revised and corrected, with the assistance of Komanande, the inter-
preter, and Rev. Ntaka Truman. Genesis and the first twenty chap-
ters of Exodus, all of Proverbs, and the Acts of the Apostles are to
be revised for the press ; the first edition of Mpongwe Scriptures is
nearly or quite out of print. Probably other portions that were printed
are nearly exhausted." Mr. Walker was translating the book of Esther,
and he greatly regretted that he could not take up and complete the
translation of the Pentateuch, but hoped that two of the other fnis-

sionaries, keeping up their knowledge of Hebrew and mastering the
Mpongwe, would be able to complete it. He expresses deep gratitude
for having been enabled to do so much of this sacred work, and refers
to the kind consideration of all the members of the mission for his com-
fort and success in it. Though he can not safely remain longer in
Africa, he hopes to aid in superintending the Mpongwe Scriptures as
they pass through the press in this country.

071 the Ogove, both Dr. Nassau and Mr. Reading have given a great
deal of time and labor to procure required buildings, the former es-
pecially meeting with great difficulties. In such work on this river
materials of some kinds could not be obtained ; regular laborers were
not to be found, much less mechanics of any kind ; the missionaries
themselves had to do much of the work, enduring hardships and some-
times perils from the lawless Pangwes. They do not dwell on these
things, but such severe conditions of beginning missionary work may
well be remembered with admiration of the missionaries, and gratitude
to God for hearing prayers on their behalf. Probably the worst is
over, but it is evident the Pangwes, whose numbers and energy seem
almost certain to control the country on the Ogove, overshadowing
and perhaps driving off smaller and more pacific tribes, will prove a
hard people to be won for Christianity. Yet, once converted, as they
surely will be by divine grace, they will become efficient agents in the
spread of the Gospel. Before the year ended Dr. Nassau and his
wife had the happiness of removing to their new home — the furthest
inland yet occupied. That it will prove to be a safe, healthful, and
useful post of labor for Christ among a savage people will be the prayer
of many.

The question of travelling and freightage on this river, and indeed
on the sea-coast of the mission which extends north to Batanga, is one
of no small moment. The schooner^ bought at Gaboon some years
ago by the mission, only suits the coast — not the river, and is a very
slow vessel. It is probably near its end. For the river there are two
small steamers, owned by European houses, which have been obliging
as to carrying passengers and freight, but will not accept any remu-
neration, and can not be depended on often when service is needed.
It was hoped that such steamers, if increased in number, might be
available for public use in the ordinary way ; but this does not seem
likely to be the case at any early time. Canoes or small boats have
to be used commonly, notwithstanding their delay and inadequate
room, much exposure in the hot tropical climate, and at times no lit-
tle danger from lawless natives. It seems almost indispensable to pro-
vide a small steamer that could be used both on the coast and the
river ; one that would be of light draught, for during part of the year
the river at some distance from the sea is very low, and yet one that
would be safe on the ocean, which is usually exempt from rough
weather. The risk of attacks by natives will probably become less as
the missionaries become better known. Mr. Reading has had to refer
to his boat being fired on, when in charge of his employes, who saved
themselves by lying down while the tide carried the boat out of reach.
Similar cases might too easily occur, but the lawless men would not

MISSION IN SYRIA. 43

be so likely to attack a steam vessel. The missionaries and the Board
have had liiuch coiresi)ondence on this subject. Both parties had to
act with care to avoid any but needful expense. All the brethren were
not in favor of a ste uner at first ; but the conviction has become general
that one should be obtained. The expense would be considerable —
probably not less than $10,000 for purchase and equipment, and then
a considerable outlay for captain, engineer, crew, fuel, repairs, etc.
Probably many persons would be ready to respond liberally to an ap-
peal for this object.

On a general view, it is evident that the field of this mission is one
that is great and full of hope, but yet one that involves difficulties of
no light degree, particularly such as grow out of the great heathenism,
the ignorant and deeply depraved condition, of the people to be evan-
gelized. Access to interior regions is almost certain to be gained be-
fore long, so as to reach healthier stations, places less pervaded by
malaria ; and the native helpers trained at existing stations may be ex-
pected to be very useful in this inland progress. The staff of labor-
ers from this country is now in better supply than before, and is well
worthy of the confidence of the Church at home. All that can be
done will be done by the men and women in the field. They will
surely receive the sympathy, and be sustained by every good means
and by the prpyers, of our churches at home.

The year has been marked by sorrows and difficulties, which have
sorely tried the faith and courage of the mission. In June, Rev. Dr.
Jessup, then recently bereft of his wife, left for the United States, to
provide for the education of his children. Rev. O. J. Hardin and
family arrived, on leave of absence, about midsummer, having been in
constant service nearly eleven years. Miss Hattie M. Eddy was also
obliged to ask leave of absence, on account of ill health. Dr. Van
Dyck, after a temporary absence, returned invigorated. Miss Fanny
Cundall has been obliged to resign her connection with the mission

and return home. Miss Sarah A. Ford has been appointed a missionary
of the Board and assigned to the Sidon field.

The exciting political and warlike events transpiring in the East have
rendered the year unfavorable for religious effort and spiritual growth.
The mission report says : " The war in Egypt, being really a war of
religions, in which Moslem bigotry and hatred of Christianity were
tempted for a moment to seize their old weapons, made the earth to
tremble under the feet of the Christians in Syria. Thousands of the
people of Beirut left their homes in the months of agitation and fled
to the mountains. Refugees from Egypt spread the panic. The war
was the sole topic of conversation ; the one subject read about and
thought about. Religion was crowded out of notice. Among the
thousands who fled from Alexandria to Beirut were many gamblers and
scoffers. It has been hard to make the plants of righteousness grow
amid the inflowing tide of such influences."

Still the ^'ear has not been devoid of good results. In some direc-
tions marked progress has been made. The interest in the Sidon
field has continued, and a large number have been added to the
church. In the whole mission field log have made profession of their
faith, being 22 less than were reported last year. In many of the out-
stations a good state of feeling is reported and encouraging results are
anticipated. There are not a few indications that a most radical
change'is gradually coming over Syrian society. The various agencies
at work, prominent among which may be mentioned the Bible, the
preaching of the Word, the press, the wide-extended system of education,
are slowly but surely sapping the foundations of ancient systems of
error and superstition.

An assembly of the preachers and teachers, held in Beirut in April,
1882, is specially worthy of notice. The report says: " Over a hun-
dred were present in the conference. They came from various parts
of Syria, and nearly a week was spent by them in discussing subjects
of practical religion. It was an enthusiastic meeting. The opportu-
nities in Syria for such Christian communion and exchange of thought
have been exceedingly rare, and all those present were raised to a
higher plane of intellectual and spiritual life than they had heretofore
reached."

At the annual meeting of the mission, held in December, the follow-
ing action was unanimously taken and referred to the Board :

(i) "That Presbyteries be formed at Beirut, Abeih, Sido?i, Tripoli,
and Zahleh.

(2) "That each Presbytery consist of such ordained missionaries of
the Presbyterian Board of Foreign Missions of the United States and
such ordained Professors of the Syrian Protestant College as may de-
sire to enter it, of all native pastors, and of one elder from each church
within the bounds of the Presbytery.

(3) " That these Presbyteries, together with any others which may
be formed by neighboring Presbyterian missions, constitute the Synod
of Syria.

(4) " That these Presbyteries and Synod have no organic ecclesias-
tical connection with churches in Great Britain or the United States.

(5) " That members of these Presbyteries may retain their connec-
tion with ecclesiastical bodies in Great Britain and the United States."
With reference to this the Board has taken no action.

Beirut Station.

The central church enjoyed the pastoral care of Dr. Jessup till his
departure for the United States. Upon his departure the mission de-
cided to inaugurate a native pastorate. This plan, however, has not
been successful, owing to the aversion of the congregation to being
placed under the care of a native pastor. After a prolonged but un-
successful experiment, during which the interests of the church began
to suffer, the project was abandoned and Dr. W. VV. Eddy has been
chosen pastor.

The Sabbath-school of the church and the weekly teachers' meeting
are conducted by the mission, and are well attended. Eight persons
were admitted to the church on profession of their faith.

Work in the several departments of the church and school in the
Eastern quarter has been faithfully kept up. About 60 persons at-
tended the preaching ; 80 were in the Sunday-school and 70 in the
day-school. One effect of the Sunday-school has been to stir up the
zeal of the Greek church, which has taken a new departure in carrying
on an opposition Sunday-school, in which the methods of Protestants
are closely followed.

The theological class, numbering seven students, under the special
charge of Dr. Dennis, completed their course of study, passed a credit-
able examination, and have entered the work in the several stations. A
building for the use of the seminary, for which contributions to the
amount of $15,000 have been made by friends of the institution in
America, and $5,000 by the Board, is being built on ground donated
by the Trustees of the Syrian Protestant College.

The record of the Beirut Female Seminary, both numerically and
financially, has been very encouraging. The number of boarders has
crowded the accommodations, being 46 against 41 last year. The num-
ber of day-scholars in the higher department has increased from 5 last
year to 1 1 this, and what is more satisfactory is, that quite a number
of the pupils are grown-up girls. The receipts from patrons of the
school, for the year ending July, 1882, were nearly $400 in excess of
those of any previous year, while the full-pay pupils were nearly three
times as many as those for 1881. Of the 57 pupils, 20 were Greek
CathoUcs, 17 Greeks, 13 Protestants, 4 Maronites, 2 Jews, and i
Moslem. The Moslem is the daughter of an Egyptian Bey, who vis-
ited the various girls' schools of Beirut and satisfied himself as to the
superior merits of this seminary.

A class of 19 pupils is in course of training, to become teachers in
various parts of Syria and Egypt.

The primary department has averaged 70 in daily attendance, and it
is mentioned as a special cause for gratitude, that the building so long
rented for this department has now become the property of the semi-
nary by purchase. Had it passed out of the control of the school it

MISSION IN SYRIA. 47

would have been highly detrimental to the best interests of the insti-
tution.

One of the former pupils of the school united with the church the
past summer, and several of those in attendance give good evidence
of a change of heart.

The women's class for sewing and religious instruction has been car-
ried on at Ras Beirut with good results by Miss Jackson and Mrs.
Porter.

A weekly Arabic paper of 8 pages, and a monthly child's paper of
4 pages, have been issued. An illustrated volume of rhymes for chil-
dren, two atlases of 12 maps each, on Biblical and general geography,
engraved and printed in Edinburgh, are among the recent publications.
A translation of the Presbyterian confession of faith and form of church
government has been prepared. A revision of the five editions of the
Arabic Scriptures has been begun, and a text-book in Systematic The-
ology is now going through the press. A " Universal History," pre-
pared by Prof. Porter, is nearly ready for the press.

Egypt has, ordinarily, taken half the issues of the mission press; but
in consequence of the war all orders were cut off for some months,
while, owing to the feverish state of feeling in Syria, fewer books were
sold, and, as a result, the stock of books on hand has largely increased,
and the lesources of the press been somewhat crippled. Sales have
increased largely toward the end of the year, the demand from Egypt
having begun again.

Abeih Station.

A good degree of health has been enjoyed by the missionaries of the
station, and the results of the year's work have been fairly successful.
Twenty-one were admitted to the church on profession of faith, mak-
ing the total number of members in the station 231.

A fifth church was organized at Suk el Ghurb consisting of 64 mem-
bers. Most of these were set off from the Abeih church. The other
churches and membership are as follows : Abeih, 87 ; Ain Zehalta,
36; Kefr Shima, 32, and B'hamdun, 12. In the whole field there are
20 preaching places, with average congregations, aggregating about
850. Depletmg influences are still at work, and the report says of
the 87 members on the list of Abeih church: "They are scattered
from Egypt to Hums and from Beirut to Damascus in 26 different
places. In general no other part of the Syria mission field suffers
so much from the emigration of Protestants as this station. The re-
sult is disheartening to those who remain, for it is the young, the vigor-
ous, the enterprising, and the better educated who leave."

The extensive educational work of this station, mainly of a primary
character, has been highly successful. There have been 38 of these
schools with 1,680 pupils, and 6 schools of higher grade with 150 pupils.
The work at Shweifat has passed through a crisis not uncommon in the
history of mission work. After two years of much promise, good at-
tendance, and excellent progress, the boys' school has been broken up
by a rival Greek school. Except the 8 students who have entered the
college at Beirut, not a pupil remained. To meet a felt need the

48 ANNUAL REPORT.

teachers were at once transferred to Suk el Ghurb, where good build-
ings and furniture belonging to a Scotch society were obtained for a
nominal rent. A boarding-school was opened with 34 pupils, chiefly
from the advanced classes of neighboring schools. All but one of
these pupils pay at least for board and books and enjoy the instruction
and guidance of two excellent teachers and the daily oversight of the
missionary.

The work of Mrs. Calhoun and her daughter, Miss Susie Calhoun,
for the women and girls of Shweifat has been encouraging. The girls
remain in the school to a more mature age than formerly and good
progress is shown in study and deportment.

The Maronite bishop recently visited his native village, Dibbeyeh,
after a long absence. Many of his people expected that he would stir
up persecution against the Protestants. The Protestants treated the
prelate with all due respect, and their course was reciprocated. "Our
teacher, a near relative of the bishop, went with him from house to house.
Religious conversation was not avoided, and the Maronite dignitary
showed himself much enlightened and disclaimed several errors of the
Romish Church." While still there a Protestant lad of the village died
at Ain Zehalta school, expressing a firm hope in his Saviour and a desire
to be with Him. When the news reached Dibbeyeh, the bell of the Mar-
onite church was tolled in token of sorrow, and the bishop visited the
afflicted family at once, saying to the assembled company " that the
relatives of the deceased had great occasion for comfort, inasnuich as
a youth of such a character and strong faith had undoubtedly been
taken to heaven." This shows a remarkable change of feehng in a
direction least expected.

The prospects of the Kefr Shima church are better than for some years
past. The school at Wady Shehroor has grown despite the assaults of
the bishop and clergy. In Abeih 3 have united with the church. A
woman's class, sometimes numbering 80, was conducted with profit by
the ladies of the mission during the summer.

At Deir el Komr, notwithstanding the mflux of French infideUty,
the schools and the general work have prospered and religious instruc-
tion has been prominent. In Ain Zehalta 3 were added to the church,
and Protestantism is intluential. Mrs. Watson's school is very success-
ful. At least a dozen villages in this district are very desirous to have
schools established in them.

In the village of Abeih 4 young women united with the church. All
of them were taught in mission schools. A Sunday-school, averaging
over 100, has been conducted every Sabbath, and the work among
women has been earnestly pursued. Forty dollars were contributed
for benevolent purposes.

Aramun, called the "Sleepy Hollow" of the Lebanon, is gradually
coming forward with overflowmg congregations and a declared Protest-
ant community of 60 souls.

In respect to contributions for general benevolence and educational
purposes, commendable progress has been made. These aggregate
$1,130, of which sum over $500 is subscribed to general benevolence.
In El Haddeth the Protestant community contribute regularly toward

MISSION IN SYRIA.

a building fund for a chapel. They have contributed at the rate of
$2 per member, and hope to do better in the future. In many parts
of the field the people are showing a spirit of self-help in the matter
of educating their children, which is highly gratifying.

Sidon Station. '

The year has been one of gratifying progress. Twenty-three out-
stations have been occupied, of which three are new. One of these,
Jezzin, is of special importance, being one of the largest towns of
Southern Lebanon, and a government centre as well as a Maronite
stronghold. All sorts of violent threats were uttered by its fanatical in-
habitants, and prodigious efforts made to crush out the mission schools
for boys and girls.

On the side of Mt. Hermon, 4,000 feet above the sea, is the village
Shibaa, proverbial for its rude people. Here new work was begun, the
people furnishing the school-room, a room for the teacher, and paying
about $17 in money.

A reorganization has been effected, by which 4 churches have been
increased to 9, as follows: Sidon, 43 members; Alma, 21; Kanah,
16; Hasbeiya, 57; Ibl, 29; Jedeideh, 19; Kheyam, 54 ; Mejdel, 14;
and Mejdeluna, 40. Church sessions are being ordained in the new
organizations.

Divisions have been healed and a good state of feeling exists among
the churches. Fifty-four have united with the church on profession
of their faith, of which number about one- third are the children of
Protestants. Among those admitted was a Metawali Moslem, who ex-
hibits the strongest evidence of saving faith in Christ.

The Sidon Seminary continues its good work, though with a reduced
number of pupils. At the close of last school year Miss Eddy left for
America, to gam much-needed rest and strength.* Miss Bessie M. Nelson
has been in charge, efficiently assisted by Miss Sarah A. Ford. Mrs.
F'ord has also taught a class in the Harmony of the Gospels, and given
religious instruction on Sabbath evenings. An excellent spirit per-
vades the school, and since last report 4 pupils have made profession
of their faith in Christ. There is an average attendance of 75 in the
day department.

The boys' training-school has been carried on with 27 boarders pay-
ing about $400, which sum covers all expenses, except teacher's salary.
Seven boys, trained in this school, have entered the Beirut Protestant
College.

A Bedouin boarding-school, supported and managed by the native
churches, has been opened at Jedeideh. It is an experiment from
which good results are anticipated. Board and lodging are furnished
free to any boy who comes from the'desert tribes. A sum sufficient to
meet these expenses has been subscribed among the churches, and an
excellent man, Abu Asaph, who has traveled extensively among the
Bedouin tribes, and has an intimate knowledge of their habits, has
been selected to take charge of these " sons of the desert."

Special prominence has been given to the preaching of God's Word.

50 ANNUAL REPORT.

Stated services have been maintained in 25 places, being an increase
of 6 since last report.

A colporteur has been regularly employed, visiting the fairs held in
the Merj Ayun district, and canvassing the villages. He has sold many
Bibles and books to the pupils of Greek as well as Protestant schools.
The Sidcm church made a contribution for Bible distribution, and sent
two persons to leave cojjies of the New Testament in villages entirely
destitute of the Word of God. Each book was left, as a loan, witl»
some responsible person who could read.

Thirty-one schools were in operation during the year, attended by
1,679 pupils, and an average of 1,338. Of these 209 are in the higher
departments; 325 were Protestants, and 340 Moslems, Jews, and
Druzes. Some of the older schools have grown, especially in numbers
and efficiency. Among them are Hasbeiya and Jedeideh, where more
than 100 boys are attending each school. One result of these schools
is, that It is no longer regarded as a scandalous sin to attend Protestant
schools ; while at the same time the Greeks have been compelled to
open schools of their own, in which Protestant methods and text-books
are used.

Progress is shown in the financial results of the year. The fees in
the day-schools have amounted to $136, and in church support and
general benevolence, $451 have been raised, while over $900 have
been paid by students attending the Sidon Training-School and the
college at Beirut. In various parts of the field buildings have been
enlarged and improved, and in Sidon arrangements are making for
building a new church.

A Roman Catholic monk has renounced his errors, and, having
withstood the false accusations of his former co-religionists, is now a
faithful Christian teacher.

A Metawali boy, taught in mission schools, has applied for baptism.
He attended regularly upon the services while in Sidon. Some of his
former friends followed him from his native village, and, on leaving
church, he was set upon by a mob, beaten, given to the soldiers, and
put in prison. After his release the doctors of the Metawali faith la-
bored with him in vain. His friends finally cast him out, renouncing
all claim upon him and all relationship with him. It costs something
for a man to change his religion in the East.

Tripoli Station.

During most of the year Rev. S. Jessup has been alone at the cen-
tral station of this large field. In A lay last Dr. Calhoun performed a
simple surgical operation on a Moslem child, but, owing to the lack of
efficient nursing in her home, erysipelas set in and caused the child's
death. The city health officer, a bigoted Maronite, moved by the
basest motives, endeavored to have Dr. Calhoun arrested and tried be-
fore a native commission. In consecjuence of threats of violence Dr.
Calhoun went to Beirut in June to see what could be done to restore
peace; the case was carried by him to Constantinople, where after
much tlelay his diploma was approved according to Turkish law. The

MISSION IN SYRIA. 51

authorities, however, have done nothing to restore his sign which was
torn down by the TripoH poHce. Dr. Calhoun has, meanwhile, been
laboring with success within the bounds of the Lebanon government.
He treated, during the year, 1,922 patients, of which number 802
were surgical cases.

The Greeks, by far the largest of the Christian sects in Tripoli city
and port, have been stirred to a remarkable zeal during the year.
They seem to fear extinction, and to have formed a determination to
overcome Protestant influence and teaching, if they can. They have
succeeded in breaking up the boys' high-school in Tripoli, at least
temporarily, and propose to destroy the girls' school. The boarding
department in this school has increased to 13, against 9 last year.
These girls are gathered from the confines of Tripoli station, two from
Gherzooz, and two from Mahardeh. In spite of the hostility of the
Greek church, there is every reason to believe that a great future is be-
fore this school in raising up teachers and doing for the women of
Northern Syria a greatly needed work. Although the loss of Miss
Cundall is greatly felt, yet there is no falling off in the number of day
pupils, 84 being in attendance. Very commendable progress has been
made in all departments of study.

The various services on Sunday and through the week in the city of
Tripoli have been well attended. The Sunday-school has grown in
interest. The services at the port, together with the Sunday and day-
schools, have not been so well attended as last year. A permanent
place of worship, owned by the Board, is a necessity, the supply of
which, it is hoped, may soon be realized.

"The Tripoli, Hums, and Hamath carriage road," the second great
thoroughfare in Syria, is about to be opened. It has 75 miles of com- '
pleted road, and must be the beginning of great changes in Northern
Syria.

Great interest in spiritual things has characterized the year in Ma-
hardeh. The brethren meet almost nightly, and read the Bible and sing
hymns, often till midnight. When a preacher recently visited them the
meetings continued almost uninterruptedly from Saturday evening till
Monday, the room being crowded till midnight, scarcely giving time to
eat.

The Hamath schools grow in popular esteem, and in Hums the
Gospel is taking deep root ; 200 children are in the day-schools and
half that number in the Sunday-school. The brethren were instru-
mental in reforming a drunkard, who brought his wife with him to
church. She said "the reHgion that gave her back her husband and
made a man of him and led him to care for her soul as well as her
body, was the religion that Hums women wanted, and that no priest
ever helped her or her husband."

" The apostle to the Nusaireyeh," says the mission report, " has not
yet appeared, and little has been done in this great field." In the
Husn and Safita districts the schools have been well attended. Great
interest is shown at Amar, where 4 have united with the church. These
being the first church members in that part of Husn district, strong
opposition at once sprang up. The old priest made a false charge

52 ANNUAL REPORT.

against these Protestants before the governor of the district, but
was turned out of court. Then a bkistering monk from the famous
convent of St. (ieorge came to the village to collect the tithes. He
sent word to the sturdy teacher that he was coming, first to overcome
him in discussion and then to administer a sound thrashing, for " per-
verting the children of the orthodox church." The teacher quietly
laid out his Bible on the table and a heavy oaken cudgel close at hand
and sent word to the noisy monk that he was ready to try conclusions
with him in both sorts of contest. The monk avoided Protestant
polemics, and on his return was severely rebuked by the abbot for
bringing disgrace upon the convent.

In Akkar region new ground has been occupied, while in the Leb-
anon districts old schools have been closed and new ones opened.
The boys' school at Amyun has 90 pupils. A good girls' school has
been begun there and another at Bishmezzin.

Three were admitted to the church in Kusba. A new school for
boys has been opened at Batrun (ancient Botrys), a seaport of Leba-
non, a centre of the sponge fisheries and a Maronite stronghold.
Maronites, Greeks, and Moslems united in the petition for this school.

During the year 48 employes were at work ; 22 persons were added
to the church, 19 on profession of their faith ; 32 schools were carried
on, while about 1,200 children were under instruction. This field con-
tains over 1,000 cities, towns, and villages, and more than one-half of
the population within the bounds of the Syria mission, while the mis-
sion of the Board is the only evangelical agency in this field.

Zahleh Station.

The members of this station were called to mourn the early death
of Anna L. March, the infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. March.

Much work has been done and gratifying progress has been made
in nearly all parts of the field. Seven persons united with the church
on profession of their faith. Some of these were the direct fruits of
faithful personal effort and earnest prayer. The opposition of the
papal sects continues in Zahleh and has resulted in a great multiplica-
tion of schools, there now being 37 teachers and 1,000 scholars, of all
sects. \x\ Zahleh or Maallaka, services are held every day of the week.
The preaching services and the Sunday-school have been well attended
and with increased interest.

The boys' high school numbered nearly 50. The standard of
scholarship has been raised to meet the demands of the work.

In Maallaka boys' and girls' schools have been well sustained. The
peace of the church has been disturbed by the defection of one of the
most influential members. He has not gone back to his old sect, and
hope is entertained that prayers in his behalf will be answered. Sys-
tematic giving has occupied much attention and is awakening greater
interest in the church.

Twenty-two common schools have been maintained in as many dif-
ferent places. There have been in attendance 717 pupils. The
school at Talabayeh, which was largely Moslem, has been given up

MISSION IN SYRIA. 53

for the present from lack of a suitable teacher. It was in this village
that the Moslem Khoteeb (preacher) asked the son of the Sheikh
"Who was Jesus Christ?" and received as answer, ^'■The Son of
God, the Saviour of the world.'"

At Khurbeh the girl teacher from the Sidon school, and only church
member in the village, has carried on her school despite the determined
opposition of priests and the most influential men of the place.

The prospects in Cob Elias are very cheering. The people take an
intelligent interest in their school and the religious services, contrib-
uting regularly toward their support. " A young man of this village
who left home without even a bed, because he was a Protestant, re-
cently came into possession of a little property, and was enabled to
enter the preparatory department of the college, with a view of be-
coming a mission teacher."

In the villages of Meshghara, Koraun, and Furzul the schools are
well attended and interest in religion is increasing. Forty persons in
the first of these villages recently declared themselves Protestants.

In Al Hadesh the way was prepared by the colporteur. A Meta-
wali Moslem has learned to read and bought a large copy of the Tes-
tament and Psalms, which he reads aloud upon the housetop and in
the vineyards. Another man has read his Bible so diligently that he
has become famous and has been compared with M. Ibrahim, " the
walking concordance."

The priest of Shelifa has forbidden his people to kiss the pictures
of the saints. The older people attend Sabbath-school.

At Baalbec, the first outstation in importance and the centre of a
large number of villages, the work is being pushed with much vigor.
Great opposition has been aroused by the bishop, Jesuits, nuns, and
certain influential men. It is proposed to build a church at this point.

A good beginning has been made at Ras Baalbec. These rude and
lawless people are already appreciating the advantages of a school
among them. Eight or ten have recently declared themselves Prot-
estants.

Systematic giving has been productive of good results in this field.
In the village of Zahleh $127 have been raised, and the contributions
from other outstations aggregate #93. A large number of promising
lads and young men from this part of Syria are pursuing their studies
in the departments of the college at Beirut, paying largely for their
privileges.

prosecuting the work which took him to Constantinople.

Owing to the great distance between some of the stations, the
lack of railroads, and even roads for travel, the diversity of lan-
guage and other causes, it was deemed wise to divide the mission
into Eastern and Western — .he two stations Oroomiah and Tabriz
falling naturally into the one and Teheran and Hamadan constitut-
ing the other.

MISSIONS IN PERSIA. 55

Western Persia Mission.

Oroomiah.

The work embraced in this division is the oldest, and from the
state of things in the nation it has been confined mainly to the Nes-
torians. Evangelistic labor is gradually extending, as the following
summary of operations shows ; it is gathered from full reports of the
mission.

The Evangelistic Work continues und^r the joint care of the native
board and the mission station. The aims are :

(i) To see that every church and congregation is supplied with
preaching and pastoral care ; that every place where a congregation
can be gathered is occupied as fast as men and means are provided,
and that as far as possible the Gospel message is proclaimed to every
soul.

(2) To see that the congregations grow into churches and are
grouped together when necessary for self-support and efficiency of
labor. (A church can be organized when there is a body of faithful
Christians sufficiently strong to furnish ruling elders and one-fourth
of the preacher's salary.)

(3) That the churches advance to be self-supporting and aggres-
sive—that obstacles to their growth be removed and every means
used to save souls.

(4) That the preachers employed have sufficient support and
show faithful and efficient labor and that the congregations give ac-
cording to their ability to the support of these preachers and to
other Gospel work.

(5) That places of worship be provided in all congregations as
fast as practicable. (The rule is for all such buildings : One-third
from the people and two-thirds from the mission.)

ment and success of the year :

The Nestorians. — These figures show that the Nestorians are the
people to whom the Gospel is preached more fully than to any other
on the field. To bring them as a people under the influence of the
Gospel and to build up among them a true and living church is the
object specially kept in view. They are limited in numbers and the
papal monks are at work disputing the ground at every point. But
as the only one of the Semitic races where evangelical truth has
found a lodgment, and as the remnant of a missionary church, this
work should be maintained. Though few in numbers as are the
Waldenses or Moravians, yet as a witnessing church they are the
chosen means of God to show His power and glory to many times
their number of unbelievers.

Education. — The college and female seminary for the higher edu-
cation and for intermediate and village schools for the masses, with
'the orphanage of Miss Good for girls and of Shamasha Khnaneshoo
for boys, both of whom are supported from England, furnish ample
educational facilities for the Nestorians. The competition raised
by the papal monks and nuns is the only special drawback in work-
ing this plan.

"Mission work now embraces nearly all the Nestorian villages and
hamlets of Oroomiah. But in very many of these the papists have
also opened schools, and in some are building places of'worship, and
are trying to induce the people to follow them. By means of a
home for poor orphan girls the nuns have in the last few years
trained up and married off over two hundred young women. They
make it to the advantage of young Nestorians to marry these girls,
as they give with each one a nice outfit instead of exacting heavy
expenditure, as is the old custom. The only condition is, that the
young man will join the papal communion. In this way more than
any other real additions have been made to the papal community,
as these girls, trained from childhood, continue firm and sincere ad-
herents. But they not .only offer free schools, but add shoes,
clothing, and a variety of flattering inducements that poor people
without enlightened consciences can not resist. This seriously affects
every effort to develop among the people an intelligent instinct in
education and secure from themselves support. On the one hand, to
allow the papists to gather the children and leaven their minds with
fatal errors is a risk to immortal souls. On the other hand, to open
entirely free schools so as to induce the parents who are indifferent
or who prefer our instruction, but not enough to pay a cent for it, is
to thwart our effort to help the people to help themselves. This

question is a perplexing one and we would be glad to have an ex-
pression of the opinion of the Board upon the subject."

Several of the nineteen organized churches have been refreshed
by revivals. All but two have received new members, and to the
nineteen, no have been added by examination. The congrega-
tions not yet organized into churches have also been blessed and
sixty-one have been added on profession. Some of them can soon
become fully organized churches. Two new places have been oc-
cupied by preachers. One is in the papal quarter of the city. A
good man who died a few years ago left his property to the mission-
ary work. This property, next door to the monks' establishment,
has now come into use by the death of his widow. At the same
time several prominent Catholics left the monastery and formed with
others a good congregation, who enjoy the services of a preacher.
The other place is in Suldooz, 50 miles to the south. Two churches
and several congregations are vacant or supplied temporarily.
Future growth must be within the parishes already occupied ; and
for this there is great need of faithful laborers and the mighty
working of the Spirit.

" The Field in Kurdistan is beset with many difficulties. The
lack of government and the insecurity of life and property are the
great outward obstacles. But within also are difficulties. The
mountain clans are much divided among themselves and have
awakened very slowly to the value of the true Gospel and to the de-
sire of education. But there is progress and the way is open to in-
crease our work in several places. The Kurdish power is broken,
and since the capture of Sheikh Obeidullah in November the pros-
pect is good for a season of peace. Mr. Wahl, the agent of the Pri-
mate of all England, is opening a few schools and endeavoring to
revive the Old Nestorian Church. We have opened two new places
by stationing preachers, and six new places by schools. The one
church in Hassan Bootan is suffering from the oppressions of Kurds.
Coming upon the great poverty, caused by famine, these oppres-
sions bear very heavily upon the poor people and threaten to scatter
them unless relieved. Four have been added to this church and
twenty-five to the other congregations in the mountains. Malek
Petros, one of the most influential chiefs in Tiary, is a firm friend
of the truth. We have begun to build a good school building in
his village near the site which Dr. Grant selected forty years ago.
This will be a high-school for young men in the very heart of the
mountains. We have also adopted the plan of sending college stu-
dents and one of their teachers into the mountains for the long
vacation. Thus we can provide schools for places when there is a
desire for light. The difficulty of superintendence in that Alpine
region will still remain."

At the meeting of the Native Synod, the first week of November,
the committee on the mountain work brought in the following rec-
ommendations, which were discussed and adopted. They had no
faith in Mr. Wahl's mission, as they said, and so recommended :

MISSIONS IN PERSIA. 59

" I. That we request the missionaries to ask of the Board in
America two missionaries to form a station in the mountains.
2. That if possible some of our best men from Oroomiah enter the
mountain work for five years. 3. That by all means a high school
be provided and well manned for the mountaineers." " The third
recommendation we are fulfilling. As to the second, the difficulty
is to spare good men from posts where they are already indis-
pensable. The first is the old problem, no nearer solution than it
was twenty-five years ago. It would be practicable if we had a de-
voted unmarried man, for him to do great good by spending a part
of each year at the new school in Tiary, and from there aiding the
work. As it is, with a missionary tour every year, with a yearly
conference and institute such as we had last summer for the workers,
and with an increase of young ministers of consecration and
ability there is hope of a rapid increase of results."

TAe Native Workers. — " There are eighty places now calling for
trained and devoted workers such as should graduate from our
theological course. Of these, seventeen posts are vacant and sixty-
three are occupied. Two have been removed from the roll during
the year : one by death and one by failure of health, and four young
men completed their course and joined the ranks. If we class the
sixty-three laborers as good, fair, poor, and very poor, there are
19 classed as good, 22 as fair, 17 as poor, and 4 as very poor.
These very poor ones will have to fall out. Others have labored
over 30 and some over 40 years, and in the course of nature must
soon rest from their labors. We are often perplexed by this ques-
tion : Is it better to leave a field vacant or to supply it by a poor
laborer .? Another question is : What shall be done to support
those who are superannuated in the work and are without means of
their own .'' Another very pressing question is : How to keep our
preachers from going into debt or involving themselves in worldly en-
tanglements while, at the same time, they provide something for their
families and for old age ? In an old country where the avenues of
enterprise are few and the battle of life is a hard struggle, the prob-
lem of a minister's family is very different from that in America.
And so of old age. Yet the conditions of a successful ministry are
the same : a good educational training, faith in God and consecra-
tion to His service, and with these relief from undue worldly anxi-
eties and temptations. I have thought that possibly some kind of
savings bank would obviate the trouble."

The Armenians are an important part of the population in Salmas
and some other places. The mission have sent an earnest and
strong appeal for a station at this point to be occupied by a foreign
laborer. There have been schools in two of their villages the past
year, and some of them, in Nestorian villages, are members of the
church.

The Jeivs, whose ancestors were brought to these cities of the
Medes more than twenty-five centuries ago, are here in considerable
force, near 500 houses in Oroomiah city and many smaller commu-
nities in other places. They are despised and oppressed and are

still looking for a Messiah to come. One of the college teachers
visits them very often, reasoning with them out of the Scriptures.
Last winter there was an opening and one of the students started a
school, and for a time a company of young men seemed much in-
terested, but without any positive results.

The Persian Mussulmafis. — Many of them are open to religious
conversation and itinerant efforts as in former years. A private
Sabbath service and Bible class have been held for the converts
from Islam and others who often attend with them. Miss Van
Duzee has held a similar service for women. Kasha Yacob, who is
supported by his friends in England, has similar meetings, attended
often by twenty or more. In a few minds in the city there is a
genuine interest. In the villages our evangelist reports opportuni-
ties to preach often to large numbers of attentive hearers. He
finds nearly always an open door and some inquiry and conviction.
The Bible is also read by some, and thus in many ways Christ is
lifted up. With all these opportunities to sow the seed, there is
little hope at present of opening schools, gathering congregations,
or planting churches among the Mussulmans. Last spring the gov-
ernor closed the school for boys and ordered the girls to leave the
female seminary. As soon as an organized and continued effort is
apparent, some one makes complaint and the law is enforced and
the work broken up. One by one thej Mussulmans may privately
join the Christian assemblies, and thus some be saved.

Medical Work. — This department has occupied much of the
time of Dr. Cochran, who has visited the hospital, the dispensary
in Oroomiah and large numbers in the village and in the town.
The Westminster Hospital was completed during the year. " It is,"
says the doctor, " a commodious and pleasant refuge for many who
from the nature of their troubles or from want of proper treatment
and nursing are suffering and dying from the lack of just what we
trust they can find in this institution. It is our object, as it is our
determinatioa, to make this, the first fully-equipped and regular hos-
pital in Persia, a blessing to many sufferers and a help in other ways
to the work as a whole." About loo patients, most of them surgi-
cal cases, had been treated in it. He greatly needs help in sustaining
many of those who enter it for treatment. Some can pay for their
board, others can not. A single bed for the year will cost about
$25. The number of patients in all treated by Dr. Cochran was
nearly 6,000.

Printing. — This branch has suffered greatly during the year from
the want of a superintendent and the absence of several who are
connected with the press at Constantinople. An experienced super-
intendent has been appointed, who will soon sail for Oroomiah ;
2,000 primers in Syriac were published the last year ; also 500 vols,
of Simple Science, 300 pp. There were 20 issues of the Rays of
Light, 400 copies of each issue, and some smaller publications.

Tabriz.
Missionary Work. — The authorities have never been in sympathy
with the work at this station and the missionaries find an increasing

disposition on their part to annoy. On several occasions persons
have been arrested for attending religious meetings, and fines im-
posed, and on one occasion three members of the medical class
were arrested by the chief of the Ferashes and threatened and then
let go. These occurrences have been irregular and spasnwdic, but
they have diminished the attendance at the meetings.

Since the removal of the girls' school to the new building erected
for it, services in Armenian or Turkish have been held every Sab-
bath afternoon in Lalawa in charge of Mr. Wilson. The preaching
in Armenian has been by Stefan, whose success is doubly gratify-
ing, inasmuch as he represents the first-fruits of the training-class,
of which he is still a member. The average attendance has been
about forty. Regular services have been held in the church, usually in
Turkish. The missionaries have been able to preach more frequently
this year than last, owing to the improved health of Mr. Ward, and
the greater familiarity with the language on the part of Mr. Wilson.
Mr. Wright has devoted himself to other parts of work with con-
siderable success. The attendance on the meetings has averaged
about 60, but has varied considerably, owing to causes mentioned.

Mr. Whipple has recently commenced a service in Syriac, in the
reception-room of the dispensary, which is attended by nearly all
the Nestorians residing in the city.

The continued threatenings of danger have had a very depress-
ing influence on the spiritual condition of the church, more, prob-
ably, than a real persecution would induce. " Danger recognized
and understood loses much of its terror, and many who are timid
and irresolute when the evil is impending, are found among the
most courageous when it proves a reality." There has been an in-
crease in the benevolence of the church.

Education. — The boys' school has been very prosperous during
the year. The training-class has not only supplied an Armenian
preacher in the person of Haritoon, but has also furnished an effi-
cient superintendent for the school, whose earnest, consecrated
efforts to promote its efficiency have had much to do with its suc-
cess. Soon after the commencement of the winter session the
school, at that hour not in session, was visited by the Ferashes of the
Valiyat. A number of the Mussulman pupils, however, were inter-
cepted on their way to school, and severely threatened. When as-
sembled the pupils were informed of what had taken place, and
given their option to continue coming at their own risk or to with-
draw, but nearly all stood firm and have been regular in their attend-
ance. Another difficulty in the way has been the competition of
the Armenian schools, which are well equipped and whose teachers
receive very large salaries. But in these schools there is little
taught, either by precept or example, of Gospel truth.

" The need of a Boarding- School for boys has long been apparent,
but heretofore it has not been found practicable. This year, how-
ever, a commencement has been made and the results so far have
been quite gratifying. It is our desire to make self-support one of
the prominent lea Lures ot the school, and as lar as practicable this

62 ANNUAL REPORT.

principle is carried out. Nine boys have been admitted, of whom
five remain at present."

The total attendance at day and boarding school during the year
was 52, average 30, including 13 Mussulmans, 38 Armenians, and i
Nestorian. Lessons Avere given in Turkish, Persian, Armenian, and
English.

One of the members of the training-class was transferred to the
medical class, under Ur. Holmes, and subsequently two others were
transferred. It is hoped that they may thus find an enlarged sphere
of usefulness as witnesses for Christ.

The girls' school was removed to the new building in October,
and with the greatly increased accommodations its prospects are
very much improved. Miss Clark has been enabled to resume
charge of the school, which permits Miss Jewett to give her at-
tention to evangelical work with the women. The total attendance
during the year was 25, the average for the latter part of the year
being 19. The languages taught are, Persian, Armenian, Turkish,
and English, with the various elementary branches, singing, house-
work, embroidery, etc. Regular religious services have been held
with the women by Miss Jewett, and the attendance has been good,
but the interest manifested has not been as great as could be de-
sired, many coming out of curiosity rather than for religious in-
struction. Miss J. has also made many calls, for religious conversa-
tion, upon the women in their homes. " The year has been an
eventful one, in the fact that it marks the erection of the new school
building, now nearly completed, and having accommodation for 40
boarders, a commodious room for women's meetings, besides the
school and class rooms, and apartments for three missionary ladies.
Also the erection, on the same grounds, of a residence for Mr.
Ward. Both these buildings are very substantially constructed and
present a very pleasing contrast in appearance to the majority of
the Persian houses about them. The people regard the erection of
these buildings as an indication that we have come to stay, and we
trust that long before time has rendered them unfit for occupancy
there shall be no need for missionaries in Persia, because of the
perfect accomplishment of the work of which we are now but laying
the foundation-stones."'

The Medical Department. — Dr. Holmes gives the following ac-
count of this new work : " It is now fairly established, and the
beginning is made of a work which is destined, with God's blessing,
to have important results. One of my former pupils in Oroomiah,
Mirza Shimoil, who afterwards pursued his studies with Dr. Coch-
ran, makes a very efficient dispensary assistant. He, with the two
remaining members of the original class, graduate in medicine the
coming summer. The three other young men previously mentioned,
all of whom are very promising, and all members of our church,
converts from Islam, are also pursuing medical studies with me.

" The attendance at the dispensary, which was very large during
the summer, was interrupted by my absence at Maragha and
Oroomiah, but has again become so great as to make it difficult to

MISSIONS IN PERSIA. 63

see all who come. The reading and exposition of Scripture and
prayer is a part of the regular order in the dispensary, and thus
many hear the Word who would not otherwise come within sound
of the Gospel.

" The need of a hospital in this great and destitute city of
200,000 souls is very great, and I trust the way may soon be opened
for the erection of a suitable building for that purpose.

" A not unimportant feature of my medical work relates to con-
sultations with native physicians, who frequently call upon me for
advice, or to decide between their conflicting opinions. Some of these
are crude enough, yet I have been surprised to find here several
physicians and surgeons who are really very well informed. These
have, however, in every instance been instructed by European pre-
ceptors. I may mention that one of my former pupils, who studied
with me for a time in Oroomiah, has now the post of regimental
surgeon in the Persian army, and has recently received a decoration
from the Shah for his services in the Koordish war. Whether
worthily bestowed or not I can not say."

Translation. — The abridgment of Mosheim's "Church History "
has been translated by Mr. Wilson as far as to the sixth century,
and the translation of Ray's " Practical Arithmetic " carried forward.
A mental arithmetic has been transferred from the Osmanli Turkish
to this dialect. Miss Clark has completed the translation of the
"Child's Gospel History." Mr. Ward has translated from the Os-
manli, a commentary on the Sermon on the Mount and on Mat-
thew. The work of translating Guyot's Geography has been
carried on by Mr. Wright.

Outstations. — The church at Maragha has had to endure severe
persecution during the year by the Armenians. The utmost power
of the Armenian hierarchy was put forth to crush the little band of
believers, and for a time they were fearful and dispirited. But
God overruled all the designs of their enemies, and as a last resort
the khalifa, or archbishop, visited the scene in person. But he also
failed, and the work has gained in strength from the efforts of its
enemies to overthrow it. One person was received on profession
and three on probation. The average attendance at church was 37,
Sunday-school 22. The day-school has suffered most from the per-
secution, but a few have been kept together. The pastor and wife
reach many by personal visitation and receive many calls for re-
ligious conversation. He reports open doors at Shashavan, Benab,
and other places visited during the year. A preacher was stationed
at Meandaiib during a portion of the year, and was warmly received.
A school was also conducted for a time at Berabad. At Ilkachee the
teacher, who is son of the chief of the village, reports the average
attendance at 11. At Khoi the work, which had been suspended
by the death of Kasha Shimoon, has been reopened by Shamasha
Werder. The khalifa wished all his people there to give a pledge
not to furnish a house for our services or school, but he has been
found fighting against God, and his purposes have come to naught,
while he himself has been called to give account of his deeds to the

ANNUAL REPORT.

Judge of the quick and dead. Kazar, an Armenian educated at the
college, has charge of the school. Attendance at preaching is good.
Social religious meetings are held every evening, attendance 15 to 20.
Attendance at school 15. Some work is also done in the surround-
ing villages. The two helpers' wives engage in evangelistic work
with the women.

The work in Ardabil has been suspended owing to the impossi-
bility of finding a suitable helper to station there.

Tours have been made during the year to Khoi by Mr. Wilson
and Dr. Holmes, and to Maragha and Syinkala by Mr. Wright.
" In every place visited there is an apparent anxiety to hear the
truth, but too often it is as seed sown by the wayside, which Satan
soon steals away, and yet doubtless in many cases that we know not
of, the fruits of these distributions of the Word are silently matur-
ing, to be made manifest in God's own time. In Maragha we re-
ceived frequent calls from a Hajji of noted probity and influence,
whose familiarity with the Scriptures was surprising, and who made
no secret of his belief in Christ. But the saving faith which is
ready to endure ostracism and persecution for Christ's sake is too
seldom found.

" Deacon Baba has made several tours during the year, and now
for several months he and Shimoon have been touring in the Cau-
casus. They report the people everywhere eager to hear the Word,
and were religious freedom permitted, a great work might be done
beyond the Aras."

The responsibility of missionaries for allowing Mohamme-
dans to be present at religious services was removed by the Per-
sian authorities, as stated in the last Annual Report. When

MISSIONS IN PERSIA. 6$

this was done the chapel in the district of the Shimron gate
which had been closed was then opened, and services in Persian
have been regularly held in it on every Sabbath since that event.
The pupils of the girls' and boys' schools have been attendants of
this congregation, together with a few Jews, Mussulmans, and Ar-
menians. The usual attendance has been about eighty souls.

Services in English were begun by Mr. Bassett, on Christmas-day,
in his house, and were continued until the time of the annual dis-
persion of the Europeans for the summer months. During the
winter a subscription, amounting to ^1,200, for the construction of
a cemetery and chapel for Protestant Europeans, was raised by
Mr. Bassett. In November last the services in English were re-
opened ; the two clerical missionaries of the station preaching in
alternation.

Two religious services, in Persian, on every Sabbath were held in
the chapel near the Casveen gate while Mr. Potter resided in that
quarter. Since his removal to the north side of town, the services
on the mission premises have been conducted alternately by the
missionaries.

Schools. — Three day-schools for boys have been maintained most
part of the year. The school for the children of Jewish parents
was opened early in the year at the request of the elders of the
Jewish community, and has numbered from forty to sixty boys.
The teachers have been two Jews, one of whom is a member of the
church. No opposition has been started to the work, and the num-
ber of pupils might be greatly increased. The studies are prose-
cuted in the Hebrew, Persian, and English tongues. Instruction
in English has been introduced within the last three months.

There is a great need of a high-school or seminary for the boys
and young men, in which the pupils can be separated from the evil
influences of their homes. The beginning of such an enterprise
was made last spring by the transfer of the Armenian pupils from
the eastern quarter of the city to the mission premises. For the
lack of suitable buildings it has thus far been a day-school, with
from twenty-five to thirty-five boys as pupils. Many applications
for admission have been received from Mussulmans. They have
invariably been referred to the Persian authorities for permission,
which has never been reported as granted.

The school in the chapel near the Casveen gate has been very
small. Since last spring all the schools for boys have been under
the supervision of Mr. Bassett. The number of male pupils in daily
attendance on all the schools has been about one hundred.

The demand in the way of education in Teheran is for that which
is European. There is need of a first-class Protestant school in this
city. If the present opportunity is not improved for this purpose,
it will be great injury to the work. The sum of $4,000 is needed
with which to erect suitable buildings.

The girls' school shows that during the year forty-five pupils
have been enrolled, and the average attendance has been twenty-

one. The religious services held in the school have been frequent.
The report mentions the religious interest of this year as more
'* thorough, deep, and lasting than at any previous time." Several
important points are sought to be attained in carrying on the school,
viz. : I. To take pupils while yet very young. 2. To keep the
school open during the entire year. 3. To make the English lan-
guage the medium of instruction.

Books and Colportage. — This department, in charge of Mr. Potter,
shows that 1,220 volumes of Scriptures have been sold, valued at
$272 ; 433 volumes have been granted, with a value of $74; 617
volumes of text-books have been sold, worth $132 ; and 349 vol-
umes granted, worth ^62.

Book-rooms have been kept in the cities of Teheran, Resht,
Kome, Yezd, and Mashhad. The amount of sales in religious and
text-books shows an increase of seventy-five per cent, over those of
the preceding year. It is worthy of note that the work of Scripture
distribution was not interfered with by the Government during the
year. Mr. Whipple, agent of the Bible Society, furnished consider-
able grants for this department of the work.

Medical Department. — This is the first year of the medical depart-
ment of the work. Up to January i, 1883, Dr. Torrence has given
more than 4,539 prescriptions. He has seen, in ten months, 3,352
persons, and has received the sum of $412. The doctor has rendered
much service to Europeans as well as to native Persians. A hospital
for Persians and Europeans is one of the proposed objects to be at-
tained as soon as possible, and one, of which, there is great need.

Native Church. — The additions to the church in Teheran have been
four, one of whom is a Jew. Three young Armenians have recently
been examined by the session preparatory to admission to the church.
There have been several removals and one death. The total mem-
bership is now twenty-nine. The contributions for the year have
amounted to the sum of $85. The church has suffered a felt loss in
the death of Ustod Ibraheem, one of the organizers of the church, and
an elder. He was a person held in esteem by those without, for pru-
dence, honesty, and industry. He was one of the few who received
no aid from the mission, having never been employed in any capacity.

The Work in Resht. — Since the occupation of Hamadan, the city of
Resht has been the only outstation. Near the beginning of the year
an Armenian, Lazar, who was the first teacher employed by the mis-
sion in Teheran, was sent to Resht in response to an earnest request
from Armenians in that place, to open evangelical work there.
This request was made to Mr. Bassett, as he passed through Resht on
his return from America, in the fall of 1881. Help was promised by the
Armenians making the call. The native assistant opened a book-room
and a school. In time. Sabbath services were held in a room rented
for the purpose. About thirty tomans, or sixty dollars, have been con-
tributed in Resht, A congregation represented by ten families has been
gathered. They desire to organize a church, and want an ordained
preacher. Some work has been done by I^azar in Anzile, the port of
Resht. The number of Armenians there is, however, small, but many

pass through the place to Resht, and lo other places in Persia. The
work done in Resht is deemed to be important, and it gives good
promise of permanent results. The importance of the place in its com-
mercial relations with the interior of Persia, gives promise of results
from labor there, much greater than the comparatively small Christian
population of the town would seem to warrant.

G^'Oiuth of Teheran, — " There is a marked contrast," says Mr. Hassett.
" between the condition of Teheran now, and when 1 tirst saw the place
in J 872. At that time the population was not certainly known, but
was thought to be about 100,000 souls. The population is now be-
lieved to be near 200,000. The area inclosed between the old and
the new walls is rapidly filling up with buildings thioughout the circuit
of the city. At the rate of progress made in the last five years, the
vacant land within the twelve gates will soon be occupied. The im-
portation of F.uropean ways and inventions has been considerable.
The imitation appears in the buildings, in width of streets, policemen,
uniforms, carriages, and gas-light and post-oHices. Tiie country at
large remains in the former condition of poverty and wretchedness.
There is no attempt at improvement in agriculture nor in the arts.
The resources of the country remain undevelo|)ed. Something is at-
tempted in the way of mining, but, as yet, it has been productive of no»
great results. The taste, so far as developed, ajjpears to be chiefly for
what is ornamental, and for the lu.xuries of P^aro[)eans. Intellectual
and moral reformations have not to human judgment begun. Tele-
graphs and western ornaments and trinkets let in a little light, but
nothing has come or been accepted which might not easily be lost
without leaving a trace of good."

Hamadan.

Religious Services. — Preaching has been maintained during the year
in the Armenian quarters, and the attendance has ranged from 70 to
100 persons. The spiritual interests of the church have steadily im-
proved, and in the accomplishment of this, there has been a weekly
meeting of the pastor and elders of the church, together with the Jew-
ish evangelist and school teachers, where each has told what he has
done for Christ, and with whom he has held religious conversation. In
this way they have talked with almost every unbeliever in the com-
munity in regard to his soul's salvation, and in some cases with excel-
lent results. The women have also, to some extent, engaged in this
work, with the result of filling the benches on their side of the church
to overflowing.

"Three weekly prayer-meetings have been held, one especially for
women, which have been reasonably well attended. At the beginning
of this present year, an afternoon Sabbath-school was started, which
promises to be one of our most interesting services. On the first day
there were, in all, about seventy scholars, besides officers and teachers.
This number has grown since.

" Saturday and Sunday afternoon meetings have been held in the Jew-
ish quarter, with an average attendance at the first of the year of about

68 ANNUAL REPORT.

twenty-five, but since the persecutions commenced the number has been
very much diminished. The people are willing to listen to the truth
at their homes, but the fear of oppression keeps them back from openly
confessing Christ.

''Some eight members of the church have been engaged in the traffic
of wine, etc., but during the year more than half have been induced to
give it up, and the rest will do so as soon as they can find other means
of subsistence. We hope eventually to root it out of the community.
We no longer receive those engaged in this business into the church."
There have been eighteen additions, one of these by letter, to the
church duiing the year. The number of communicants is fifty-eight.

Schools. — During the year the more advanced of the Armenian boys
were removed to the Jewish school, and this forms the basis of a high
school. There are about fifty boys in this united school, and thirty
boys and girls in the Armenian infant-school, which has lately been
transferred to the charge of Miss Montgomery, to be the beginning of
the school for girls. "The power of these schools is seen in two direc-
tions : first, in influencing many grown-up men and women to com-
mence to learn to read, and some have made commendable progress;
second, in the oft-repeated request made by Mussulman parents to
allow their boys to attend these schools. There is now a strong effort
being made by the authorities to close these schools, which has not yet
proved effectual, because not based on proper authority. But since
we are informed that the Minister of Foreign Affairs is not favorably
disposed to us, we know not when they may be closed, with serious
injury to our work."

Bible Work. — The demand for Scriptures in Hamadan is small, but
the men who lately started through the surrounding villages send favor-
able reports.

I Ontstations. — " The first in importance," says Mr. Hawks, " is Sen-
nah, some twenty-four farsacks, or three days' march, from here. Some
time ago the Nestorians of Oroomiah interested themselves in their
nation, as represented in that city by i6o families or more, and sent a
man there, who made a good impression and some converts. The
Nestorians there are Roman Catholics, but Protestantism has a num-
ber of friends among them. I visited the city last spring with two
helpers, and was able to do little because of the opposition of the
Catholic priests. This was also the case among the Jews, who are
said to number 500 houses, but the number is probably exaggerated.

" Shamasha Pera arrived there from Oroomiah a short time after my
departure, but because of the opposition to us, he met with a cold re-
ception at first, expressed in the refusal of a house in which he might
live. The opposition finally became so strong that the Vice-Governor
(elt obliged to insist on his leaving the city as a matter of personal
safety. We have been entirely unsuccessful in our efforts to obtain an
order allowing him to return."

'■'■Kermanshah is about four days off, on the road to Baghdad. Since
Deacon Pera was not able to return to Sennah, he has spent a few
weeks in Kermanshah, and reports a very interesting work among the
Jews and Ali-Alahus. There are other places where we shall wish to

MISSIONS IN INDIA. 7 1

During the summer, Miss Julia M. Bacon, Mrs. Newton, widow
of John Newton, M.D., Mrs. Morrison, widow of Rev. John H. Mor-
rison, D.D., Rev. W. J. P. Morrison and his wife arrived in this
country. Rev. VV. Calderwood and his family are in Germany on
leave of absence, expecting soon to return to India.

Evangelistic operations are confined to the three missions — Lodi-
ana,Furrukhabad, and Kohlapur. Whatever advance has been made
has been within the limits of these divisions. The work, as prosecuted
in India, will be grouped around these.

LODIANA MISSION.

This is territorially the largest of the three missions, and there are
in it ten stations and a number of outstations. At each of the main cen-
ters all the appliances of a thoroughly organized religious establishment
are enjoyed. Preaching has been maintained and divine ordinances
observed. The present continues to be a seed time. No great religious
awakening has taken place at any point. There are, however, increas-
ing signs of unrest among the people, and a growing dislike of some
of their own religious tenets. The Lodiana report gives the following
account of the religious movement at Ram|)ur : " The peoj:)le who
are the followers of Hakim Singh continue to grow in numbers ;
about one hundred adherents, it is said, join tliis band aimually. In
reply to an inquiry as to what they called themselves, one of them
said that ' they had no name in particular, but that they believed in
one God and in Jesus as the true incarnation of God ; that they believed
they would be saved on account of His having borne the load of sin,'
etc. — showing that he understood the Gospel way of salvation. When
asked what the people in the village called them, he said : ' We are
called Christian,' and acknowledged that this name was appropriate in
the sense that they believed on Christ, When asked if he prayed to
Jesus, he replied: 'I do, morning and evening'; and referring to his
troubles, he said : 'Were it not for this faith I could not bear up
under them.' 'On the whole,' says the rejjort, 'there is growth, and
we may still hope, that in due time a harvest will be reaped. They
always receive us most cordially, and recognize us as the teachers of
the .true religion.' "

Rev. Goloknath, of Jalandhar, speaks of the visit of a Mohamme-
dan of superior intellect, who sought to convince him that the Mo-
hammedan society is undergoing a change, and that he was working
out a reformation by reconciling the doctrines of the Koran with the
maxims of the Gospel. His followers observe no outward religious
rites, and have taken the name of Taraizis, from the Arabic word
which signifies duty. The number is constantly increasing. If one
of them is in distress, or meets with any sudden misfortune, the whole
fraternity comes forward to help him in his trouble. Others mention
similar readiness to forsake or improve their old faiths by adopting
some or all of the teachings of the Gospel. Rev. K. C. Chaterjee
speaks of a Mohammedan gentleman purchasing a New Testament

72 ANNUAL REPORT.

and other religious books for his servant, reading them to him, and
thus leading him to Christ. He refers to many inquirers in certain
villages, men who love the Saviour and bow to His name, but who
have not yet asked for baptism.

Rev. C. B. Newton, of Rawal Pindi, speaks of the magical effect
of music in subduing the most turbulent of the natives, and its influ-
ence at times of leading hearts to receive the truth. An interesting
weekly meeting is held in that place, and is composed of poor people
in a poor man's house, which exhibits one phase of missionary work.
" We go about dusk, and the room soon fills up with the company ;
most of them are Christians of not very long standing, but a few are
Hindoos, and one or two are Mohammedans. The occupation of the
evening is chiefly singing, with instrumental music. The hymns sung
are mostly of the kind known as bhajans, set to native airs, many of
which are plaintive and sweet, while some are spirited and lively.
During the service of song, which lasts a couple of hours, all hearts
are softened, and the half hour at the close, in which a portion of
Scripture is read and expounded, is solemn and impressive. After the
service is concluded with prayer, tea is brought in by the wife and
daughter of our host, and this terminates the evening, which is both
pleasant and profitable. Within the year, now closing, three Hin-
doos have professed faith in Christ, and received baptism at these
meetings. The last time we met, the old Mohanmiedan baker was
much affected, and begged us at parting to pray for him."

It is difficult to tell the numerical force of the churches, as the sta-
tistical tables, with one exception, have not been received. The
church at Rawal Pindi received six on profession of their faith, and
dismissed eleven — present number, thirty-nine. The collection for
eleven months amounted to about $160. Three were adnutted on
examination to the church at Hoshyarpore ; communicants, forty-
nine ; four to the church of Ambala, and three to that of Jallandar.
Ten were received by the church at Dehra on profession of their
faith, and seven by that of Saharanpur. The roll of this latter church
was reduced by removals from the station.

In most places the missionary is listened to with respect by the
people ; still not a few are afraid of his influence, and various attempts
are made to neutralize it. The following plan was adopted in Am-
bala : " The Word has been preached five times a week in the bazar
to large and attentive audiences. A few weeks ago the Mohamme-
dans began to preach in opposition to us on one side of the shop
rented by us in the city as a preaching-place, and the Hindoos at the
same time began to preach on the other side ; as there was danger of
an outbreak on account of the abusive language used by the two par-
ties in speaking of each other, they were required by the police to
stop preaching altogether. The Mohammedans are determined to be
allowed to speak, or to have the preaching of the Christians stopped.
They will, most likely, be allowed to commence again on condition
that they refrain from language calculated to otfend and excite those
of other religions."

Sabbath-schools are increasing, and many children of heathen

parents attend. The I.odiana report says : " In April a Sunday-school
was started for Hindu and Mohammedan boys, and about the same
time one was begun for girls in one of the zenana schools. The suc-
cess of both, so far as attendance is concerned, has been far beyond
our expectation. Over 700 children have been reached in this way."

Schools.

There has been no change in the character of these institutions.
They are conducted in the same manner as formerly, and embrace
pupils of various ages and of different religions and classes. In them
divine truth is taught, seeds of heavenly wisdom are deposited in the
mind and heart of the scholars, and the moral influences of these are
gradually enlarging. This is presented in the Rawal Pindi report :
"The extent to which public sentiment in religious matters is moulded
by mission schools is not of a nature to be expressed in statistical
tables, but it is visible in the awakening of independent thought among
the educated and the comparative laxity of superstitious observances
among the masses. The strong point of Indian heathenism to-day
lies in the fact that the women are still its devoted adherents, and in a
system of religion so essentially interwoven with social customs as
Hindooism, it is a hopeful sign of the times that female education is
Ijeginning to excite general interest." In the Saharanpur report Mr.
Ullmann says : " To show that the religious instruction given to the
pupils is producing good effects, I will mention two facts : One of the
pupils was going to be married and all the arrangements for the wed-
ding were made. On the wedding-day the priest brought in an idol of
the god Ganesh, telling the youth to worship it. He refused, saying
that he would rather not be married than worship that idol. As he re-
mained decided in spite of the priest's remonstrances, the latter had
to carry away his god and perform the ceremony without it. Again, a
boy, the son of a Kabirpanthi, saw his father performing his worship
outside his house in a public place. He found fault with it, saying to
his father, that in the Bible it was written : ' When thou prayest, enter
into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door pray to thy Father,
which is in secret,' etc., adding, ' Why do you perform your worship to
be seen of the people ? ' The father saw that his son was about right,
and, though he is still continuing his worship, he does it now inside of
the house."

The boys' boarding-school building in Lodiana is nearly ready for
pupils. It will be under the care of Rev. J. M. McComb. The or-
phanage at Saharanpur has 36 boys.

Girls' schools are increasing, and there is a growing interest in fe-
male education. The schools are partly zenana schools and partly
under the direct control of the missionary. The girls' boarding-school
at Dehra has had, on the whole, a prosperous year. The number in
attendance has been 140. Of these, 8 made a profession of their
faith in Christ. The report speaks of "an unusual interest in the
nightly prayer-meetings, every girl who is a member of the church
down to the fourth class taking her turn with the teachers in leading

MISSIONS IN INDIA. 75

the meetings. The influence of these meetings upon daily life and
conduct seems to be greater this year than usual." An encouraging
work has been started in Anibala. " A man asked to have his wife
and daughter taught, and a Christian woman was sent to teach them.
Another man hearing of this, asked to have his daughter taught.
From this the work has gone on and spread, till now there are 13
women and girls in twelve different houses being taught by two Chris-
tian women, all of whom pay monthly fees, graduated according to the
salary or income of the father or husband. Others are instructed who
do not pay fees, and many more are eager to be taught who are ready
to pay ; but there is no other Christian woman in Cantonments fitted
to undertake such a work. The Christian Vernacular Education So-
ciety's works are used as text-books." The girls' schools in Saharan-
pur number 13. Of these, 8 are for Mohammedans and 5 for Hindoos.
The superintendent of these schools is assisted by 3 Bible- women.
There are 397 girls enrolled.

In regard to zenana work, there is in certain places a steady'growth
of public sentiment in its favor. Mrs. Malvary, of Saharanpur, writes:
" My happiest work is in the zenana, of which I have 35. Some of
them belong to very rich men, who have themselves come, asking me
to visit their women. There seems to be among these poor natives a
spirit of seeking for a more certain tangible hope in the hereafter than
their own religions can afford. One woman told me that some time
ago she and some others, overwhelmed with a sense of sin and misery,
resolved to steal away from their homes and go to the river Ganges to
bathe. They were aware that their husbands would prevent it, so they
stole off during their business hours. I asked whether they did not
feel quite lightened of their sins and rid of their evil propensities when
they returned ? They said, ' Oh, no ; on the contrary, we felt much
worse, and the habit we wished cured grew stronger than ever.' " She
speaks of the prospect of soon reaching village zenanas.

Miss Herron writes of a new opening for zenana work in Dehra,
and of one who had been giving much of her time to it. She spends
the first hour in every house in imparting Bible instruction. She has
established a school among the Brahmo Somaj women, all meeting in
one house. Many of them seem affected by the story of a Saviour's
love, and one gave evidence that she had accepted Christ as her Lord
and Saviour.

This department of work has made great advances in Lodiana. The
number of pupils under instruction has greatly increased. "There
is a silent work of conciliating the women and leading them to a
deeper respect for the Gospel and its messengers. A blind woman
visited by one of the ladies, has been very much interested in the way
of salvation by faith in Jesus." Similar statements are found in other
reports, showing the gradual leavening influence of the truth upon the
secluded inmates of Hindoo homes.

Leper Asylums.

These are found at Lahore, Ambala, and Sabathu. To that of Sa-
bathu 20 were added during the year. Including three cases of out-

door relief, the total who have received the benefits of the institution
is 105, of whom 79 are males, 25 females, and one is a little child.
The report refers to the loss the asylum sustained in the departure
of Mrs. Newton, who had, with her husband, devoted so much
time and care to it. None of the inmates had united with the church
during the year. Two applied for baptism, but, needing further in-
struction, it was thought best that they should wait a little longer.
''Among the besetting sins," says Mr. Rudolph, "of these poor creat-
ures, avarice stands out prominent. The leper clings as much to his
possessions, few though they be, as those that are rich in this world's
goods. He hoards up from his scanty subsistence allowance some-
thing for the future, though he knows that he is taken care of while he
stays in the asylum. He is ready to steal from his fellow-sufferer what
little savings he may have laid by, and may watch his dying moments
to gain possession of his little treasures before measures can be taken
to prevent it."

"It is curious to notice how carefully the leper nurses his caste prej-
udices. The disease has made him an outcast as far as he is con-
cerned. He is turned out of house and home, and is not permitted
to associate with his nearest relative, and yet, when he comes to the
asylum, he will not lodge in the same room with people of a lower
caste." " Often when we watch them making painful efforts to get
into the prayer-room in the morning, we ask ourselves : Is this a de-
scendant of that being that was created in the image of God, and has
sin left him a wreck like this — a mutilated body with the power of lo-
comotion much impeded, the sense of smell and taste dulled, the eye-
sight greatly weakened, hearing affected, the faculty of speaking in
some cases almost gone, and even feeling so far lost that the hottest
vessels are handled and the hand is burned and the injury incurred not
noticed till it becomes apparent to the eye ? How true a type this of
the leprosy of the heart that has no perception of divine things — sees
no beauty in Christ, is past feeling, etc." The number of cases treated
medically in the asylum through the year amounted to 2,469, and of
the outdoor patients who suffered from various diseases, 525. There
were 38 in the leper asylum at Ambala.

Medical. — Drs. Carleton and Forman, medical missionaries, have
been visited by many patients in different parts of the country, and
whilst giving relief to bodily ailments, they have directed the minds of
many to the Great Physician and have urged them to turn to Him,
who alone can heal their sin-sick souls.

The Press.

"The work done this year has been greater than for several years past.
In all, about 180,000 volumes of books and tracts were carried
through the press during the first ten months of this year. Besides this,
about two-thirds of the ITrdu Reference Bible has been printed,
though not reported. In like manner, about one-half of the New
Testament portion of the ' Bible Stories in Bible Language,' printed
for the American Tract Society, is not reported in the table of works
printed this year.

MISSIONS IN INDIA. 77

"Among the works published this year are (i) 'The Adam-Zrurati
Quran,' by Rev. G. L. Thakur Dass, in which Qunin is weighed in
the balance with the Bible and found wanting. This was first pub-
Hshed in the ' Nurafshan,' in 1880. It was published entirely by sub-
scription. (2) 'The f'our Gospels in Kashmiri.' These will bring
the glad tidings to the multitudes dwelling in the Happy Valley in their
mother tongue. The remainder of the translation of the New Testa-
ment, made by the Rev. T. R, Wade [MS. is about to be printed for
the Punjab Bible Society].

" (3) The monthly Handbills in Urdu, published by the Punjab Book
Society, have reached a monthly issue of 10,000 copies. The whole
number issued during thirteen months ending December 31, 1882, was
123,000.

" (4) ' The Dawn of Light,' in Punjabi, makes a useful addition to
the vernacular literature of the Punjab.

" (5) 'The Sermon on the Mount,' printed in Thakrue type, forms
the first installment of the Holy Scriptures in the peculiar dialect of the
people of Chamba and the KuUu Valley. The Gospel of Matthew is
also going through the press.

" (6) A new Zenana Reader, prepared by A. L. O. E., has been pub-
lished in Persian Urdu, by the C. V. E. Society. This will be of great
use to all zenana workers.

"(7) 30,000 tracts have been reprinted and published in behalf of
the American Tract Society.

"We have printed for the same society, 'The Roman Urdu First
Book,' prepared by Mr. H. F. Bentel, of the C. M. S. mission, at
Clarkabad. It is compiled in the place of the best primers used in the
Western countries, the principle being to proceed from combinations
of the simplest forms to the formation of the more difficult. The pupil
begins to spell words from the very start, and is able to read easy sen-
tences before he knows the alphabet. Finally, we have published at
this press, editions of the ' Westminster Shorter Catechism,' in both
Persian and Roman Urdu."

Bible and Tract Distribution.

" We are glad to report a larger issue of Scriptures this year than
usual, though there is still abundant room for improvement. The num-
ber issued last year was only 1,841 Scriptures and portions. This year
our books show an- aggregate issue of 6,379, most of which were sold.
The whole number of books and tracts, including Scriptures, issued
from our Depository this year, was 43,230."

FURRUKHABAD MISSION.

In this mission are six stations, eight churches, and several outsta-
tions. Though the territory is not as large as that of the Upper mis-
sion, it embraces a thickly settled country, and with the exception of
Allahabad, no other society is at work within its bounds. No reports
have been received of the two churches in Allahabad. Regular serv-

ices were maintained at Futtehgurh, which has on the roll 133 com-
municants. Three converted Hindoos and one Roman Catholic were
admitted to this church on profession of their faith. Here, as in some
other places, the Mohammedans have employed a man to oppose the
missionaries when preaching in the bazar. He first sought to break up
the congregations, but the police interfered ; he next attempted preach-
ing so near to the missionaries as to draw away, if possible, the audiences;
but his efforts have failed of their object. Nine new members were added
to the church at Furrukhabad, which numbers fifty-six members. Its
contributions for benevolent objects were about §50. There are 100 in
Bible-classes and the Sabbath-school. A Mohammedan and a Hindu
were admitted to the communion of the church at Mainpuri by bap-
tism. Total membership fifty-two. The report speaks of several in
attendance on preaching, who show a deep interest in spiritual things.
One of these, a young Brahmin, said to Mr. Alexander, not long ago :
"While I am in church Ustening to the singing of hymns, the prayers
and the preaching of the Word, I feel strong and ready to profess
Christ ; but when I go outside and begin to mix with the world I be-
come weak again." The Sunday-school is largely attended, the aver-
age being 130. The Etawah church has twenty-nine on its roll, but
no statistical report of this church and that of Gvvalior has been received.
The missionaries and native laborers have been busy during the year
preaching in various places to the unconverted. Mr. Holcomb since
his return has devoted a portion of his time to visiting the villages
around Allahabad. This work had been neglected for many years.
He writes : " During the past year we have tried evening work with
the help of the sciopticon and singing, and the success is most encour-
aging. We have sometimes gone to a village after dark and found the
prospect for attracting hearers most unpromising, but after throwing a
picture on the wall of a house and commencing the singing, a large
company has gathered around us. One great advantage of the night
meetings is that the women come out to see and hear as well as the
men." He had visited twenty-four distinct villages, some of them very
large, and was planning to go to others, as there are over forty that are
accessible to him for an evening visit. He has also made a tour into
the district, and had visited forty-eight villages, preaching the Word in
some of them many times. He also spent twenty days, at the mela
preaching and distributing books and tracts. Mr. Ewing has not only
held evening services durmg the week in the city, but he has also, as
opportunity allowed, visited and preached with the catechists in the
several places selected by them. Fifteen different localities have been
fixed upon, and four of these are frequented each day by the native
preachers. Rev. G. A. Seeley spent some time in preaching in the
Furrukhabad district. He says : " In a large village we found fruit of
seed sown years ago, special mention being made of a visit from Mr.
Kellogg and his esteemed wif^, some so far testifying to the power of
the trutn as to say that they had not worshipped idols since the Sahib's
visit. At another village we met a most interesting case — a young
Kayath, who seemed to be a sincere inquirer. He took a copy of the
New Testament, which I hear he is earnestly studying. The ladies

with the Bible-woman found good openings everywhere, and gained a
hearing in many zenanas." He reports several interesting cases of
men who had come to a knowledge of the truth or were groping
after it, but who lacked the moral courage to come out openly on the
Lord's side, and to face the trials to which such a step would subject
them. Among these is a Mohammedan fifty years of age, educated
when a boy at the Furrukhabad school, who confesses that there he was
deeply impressed by divine truth. He calls himself a Christian. He
told the missionary that he read his Bible, prayed and fought hard to
remember the Sabbath day. This is only a type of many scattered all
over India, who know the truth and yet fail to make a public profes-
sion of Christianity. Mr. Alexander, of Mynpurie, mentions several in-
teresting cases, among others that of a fakir who had visited all the
places of pilgrimage in the country, and who was sent for by him when
atone of the outstations. He found him surrounded by many disciples,
but when alone he told the missionary that for more than twenty years
he had sought for peace, supposing it could be found only by those who
performed pilgrimages and other acts of merit ; but since he had been
reading Christian books which he had purchased, he had come to see him-
self a great sinner, that all his past efforts were in vain, and that Christ
only could save. He promised soon to seek baptism. Mr. Alexander
spent some time preaching in the district and visiting the outstations.
He reports the completion of the mission chapel in the city, which is
admirably situated for evening bazar preaching. Nearly $500 were
contributed by friends of Mr. Alexander in this country, and a similar
amount in India.

Education.

Mr. Ewing mentions the increase in the boys' high-school at Alla-
habad, having 359 on the roll ; of these, 297 study English, together
with Sanscrit or Persian, and 62 who are taught entirely in Hindi — all
study the Bible and recite lessons from it ; a Sabbath-school was
opened for these scholars : attendance optional. This service has
been successful and appreciated from the beginning. There has been
a steady increase until the attendance now ranges from 160 to 200,
several of the boys walking three or four miles every Sabbath. The
promise for good is cheering. The number enrolled in the Kuttra
school is 132. The Maharaja's schools at Furrukhabad are ten in
number ; they have been carried on as in former years. The number
enrolled in them and in the Anglo- Vernacular schools is 745. The
Futtehgurh boys' school is attended by 42 pupils, who are chiefly the
children of native Christian parents. The girls' school has been
under Miss VVoodside's care, who has devoted much time to it. It
has 6t, on the roll, of whom 39 are orphans. In the Anglo- Vernacu-
lar schools in Mynpurie are 210 boys and 91 in the Vernacular schools
and ^T,i girls; of this number 30 are the children of native Christians.

Zenana work has been carried on at all the stations. Mrs. Hol-
comb, of Allahabad, has spent several days each week visiting the
zenanas, while the Bible-woman went every day. Between 40 and ^o
women have learned to read, most of whom are studying the Bible,

and many of them committing portions to memory. x\t Furrukhabad
Mr. Seeley reports 21 houses open, with 54 women and girls under
daily instruction. No account of the work under Mrs. Brown and
Miss Blunt has been sent. Miss Belz reports that the zenana schools
at Etawah number 130 pupils, who with few exceptions belong to the
higher castes. They are all reading religious books. She mentions
several encouraging circumstances connected with this work. A
woman who had been ill and nigh unto death said to Miss Belz on her
recovery : " Since I have been reading in your Christian books 1
have given up the worship of Hindoo gods and goddesses. I do no
longer believe in them, for they are all false." Her husband is learning
to read, his wife being his teacher. When asked what he thought
of the Christian religion she replied : " Oh, he thinks as I do, and
that the whole Hindoo religion is false." When several of her pupils
left school, Miss Belz writes "that she presented them with a copy of
the New Testament for their diligence. One of them began at once to
teach her mother and three sisters to read. Another one of high caste
is teaching her sister-in-law and her niece. It is a fact that girls having
been in the habit of reading certain books at school love these books and
prize them highly when they leave it, and as these are all Christian
books they may by teaching their own relatives to read them become
the means of spreading the Gospel truth in the dark zenanas." In
summing up her work for the year, Miss Belz says: "I have been
with the Gospel message 71 times to the city of Etawah and have
spent 17 days at Melas near Etawah. Besides this I have proclaimed
the Gospel 417 times in from 250 to 260 different villages and have
visited for the same purpose 168 zenanas. My work, monotonous
though it is, consisting in repeating from day to day the old, old story,
is a sweet work to me, though my hearers are for the most part very
stupid. People at home have no idea of the awful stupidity of the
women here living in villages. But it is cheering to see how the light
of the truth is gradually dawning upon them, and how by giving Ime
upon line, here a little and there a little, they are beginning to take in
the Gospel plan of salvation. Some of them say that they have given
up the worshipping of idols altogether and that they believe in the Lord
Jesus."

Miss Seward, M.D., reports both zenana and medical work at
Allahabad. The number of zenana pupils varied from 30 to 35,
who had regular lessons. The number of dispensary patients was
3,472. "A large proportion of those who have come to the dispen-
sary have been of the higher castes, and quite often those who come
for treatment ask us afterwards to their houses." She refers to an un-
expected opening for work among Mohammedans and their desire to
be taught divine truth, consenting to study the Bible in the Persian
character. A new dispensary and other appliances are greatly needed
to give more efficiency to her work.

KOHLAPUR MISSION.

This mission occupies the western coast of India, lying to the south
of Bombay and is entirely distinct in language from the two al-

MISSIONS IN IN£)IA. 8 1

ready mentioned which are situated in the north-western portion
of the coinitry. It has three stations and four outstations. The
number of communicants reported is; Kohlapur 73, Panhala 16, and
Ratnagiri 5. A new chapel has been completed at Panhala. " The
limits of this field," says the report, " are being gradually extended and
one of our licentiates has gone to live in a large and important town
where he has established a school. Moreover, we are asked for
teachers in other towns ; the force of Christian truth is being felt, and
the spirit of religious inquiry is spreading."

The same methods of work are pursued in this as in the other mis-
sions. The most prominent agency is that of preaching in the lan-
guage of the people. This is kept up in various forms at each of the
stations.

Mr. Goheen reports that at Kohlapur the daily service for prayer
and exposition of the Scriptures in the home chapel has been regularly
observed and that the Wednesday evening prayer-meeting and the
Sunday afternoon service in the city chapel have been well attended.

There was an average attendance of about forty at the daily morn-
ing i:)rayers at Panhala; two church meetings during the week — one
on Tuesday for catechizing, and the other on Friday for prayer, and
for giving an opportunity to each one to tell of his work done during
the week.

On each Lord's day there was a Sunday-school in the morning and
preaching in the evening.

In Ratnagiri, divine service was held regularly in the chapel on
Sunday morning, the average attendance be\ng about fifty-five. On
Sabbath afternoons Mr. and Mrs. Seller, Miss Patton, and native
helpers have addressed, or read to, quiet audiences of from forty to
eighty prisoners in the jail, and the women have been taught hymns,which
they like to sing. Mr. Seller also reports a preaching service on Sun-
day and Wednesday evenings in a rented house in the densest part of
the town, attended chiefly by Brahnians, who are sometimes disputa-
tious.

The Sunday school is a great feature of the work in Kohlapur.
During the year there was an average attendance of 300 in the two
schools. The children seemed interested in coming, and were
promptly in their places when the bell rang. Similar schools were
held at the other stations, though not with the same success.

Schools.

Mrs. Hull taught in Kohlapur for a few months in the Christian
school in the compound, and then opened a school for girls in the
city chapel in which there are now about twenty girls, mostly Mara-
this and Mussulmans. As no rewards are given, and parents can not
see the need of educating their daughters unless they are paid for
being taught, this attendance is very encouraging.

Mrs. Tedford also has a girls' school in her bungalow, composed of
girls of low caste. Some of these scholars have learned to read and sew
nicely in the few months she has had them ; they can also sing some
Christian hymns well.

6

82 ANNUAL REPORT.

The two boys' schools in Kohlapur have been very prosperous.
The average daily attendance in these two schools is 125.

The Christian school in the compound under Mrs. Goheen's care
has been making good progress. Towards the end of the year Mr.
Tedford took charge of a few classes.

The attendance in the boys' school at Ratnagiri was thirty-five, and
in the girls' school sixteen. Mr. Seller has assisted several classes of
young men in their English studies, and with whom he had many con-
versations on religious subjects.

The girls' school at Panhala has on the roll fifteen, including four
boys. This work at some of the outstations is full of encouragement.
"In April, Khundoo, a licentiate, was sent to Sangli — a town about
thirty miles from Kohlapur — to open a school. It is composed of
poor boys, but they are eager to learn. Two of them live in a small
village two miles from Sangli, and have to swim a large river (the
Krishna) every morning and evening ; in the cool weather they come
into school shivering in their wet clothing. Khundoo also preaches to
crowds in the streets, and has gained access to the houses of a few
influential natives in Sangli, who wish to know something of Chris-
tianity."

The Kodoli school for boys had an average attendance of twenty-
five, whose steady progress in their studies, evinced faithful work on
Santu's part, who is their teacher. A few years ago he was a poor,
ignorant Mahar, but now he ranks high as an instructor. "Twice
during the year Brahman teachers from the Government school at
Kodoli have visited Santu's school and expressed surprise at his work.
This is remarkable, as Brahmans do not, as a rule, take any interest
in the education of the lower castes.

"The fathers of some of these pupils are malakaris — necklace wear-
ers— a species of 'holy' men. These men sent their children to the
school, hoping that they would learn to read, and then, when grown
up, would also become malakaris j but now the boys see the foolish-
ness of such religious actions, and urge their parents to throw away
their necklaces.

One little boy, when told by his mother to pour water on the family
idol, asked, " Why should I give water to the God who created the
oceans and holds them in His hand ? Why should I give water to
this stone ? " " True," said his mother. Probably this was the first
time such an idea had entered her head.

"Many other children wish to enter the school, but at present there
is not sufficient accommodation for them.

" Several of the boys are asking for baptism, and strange to say, their
parents are willing that they should become Christians."

But little has been done in the way of zenana work, as there is lit-
tle or no access as yet to the homes of high-caste women.

Tours into some of the larger towns and villages were made by the
missionaries. In one place they had an audience of nearly 300.

MISSION IN SIAM. 83

MISSION IN SIAM.

Bangkok : on the River Meinam, 25 miles from its mouth ; occupied as a mission

station in 1840 to 1844, and from 1847 to the present time ; missionary laborers —
Rev. Afessrs. Noah A. McDonald, D.D., and his wife ; Rev. James W. Van Dyke ;
Miss Mary E. Hartwell, Miss Mary McDonald, MiL-s Laura A. Olmstead, and Mrs.
C. D. McLaren, teachers ; two native licentiate preachers ; two native Christian
teachers. Outstation, Ayuthia — two native teachers.

Petchaburi : on the western side of the Gulf of Siam, 85 miles south-west from
Banfrkok ; occupied as a mission station in 1861 ; missionary laborers— Rev.
Eugene P. Dunlap and his wife ; Cliarles S. Sturge, M.D., and his wife ; Miss Mary
L. Cort and Miss Lilian M. Linnell, teachers; three native helpers. Outstations,
Bangkaboon and Paktalay, and other places— three native helpers.

In this country : Mrs. Van Dyke, Miss Coffman, and Miss Hattie H. McDonald.

Much to their regret and that of the mission, the Rev. C. S. Mc-
Clelland and his wife were obliged to return home on account of his
health. It is not expected that he can resume work in Siam, though
he is anxious, if his health should be restored, to continue his
labors in some other field. Miss Sarah Coffman and Miss Hattie
McDonald were also compelled to leave the field on account of im-
paired health. They are improving by the rest enjoyed at home.

Rev. James W. Van Dyke sailed in July on his return to his
work. Mrs. Van Dyke reiriained in this country with their children.
He was followed in October by Rev. Eugene P. Dunlap and his wife,
who were glad to resume the labors that sickness had forced them to
leave. They were accompanied by Rev. C. D. McLaren and his wife
and Miss Lilian M. Linnell. [While this Report is passing through
the press, the sad news has been received of Mr. McLaren's death,
from cholera. He was a devoted missionary, and one of marked
promise of usefulness].

The mission, greatly reduced in numbers, had much trouble in
maintaining the work at different points — soiTie of it had to be sus-
pended— and as a result former difficulties that had disturbed the
mission continued to prevent apparent or real advance. Since
the arrival of the reinforcement things are wearing a brighter
hue and times of refreshing from the Lord are not only desired,
but expected. The testing process has been severe, but it was
needed and much good will result from the discipline that has been
exercised. Out of the 81 members in the church at Petchaburi 12
have been indefinitely suspended. It is hoped that in time .most of
these will return to their allegiance to Christ and to the fellowship
of the church. Since the report was sent several of these have
been restored.

Services were kept up during the year at the Somray station^
Bangkok, by Rev. Dr. McDonald. The attendance was good and
was composed of the members of the church, scholars of the day-
schools, persons residing in the mission premises, and outsiders.
Three persons were received into the fellowship of the church on
profession of their faith, five members were excommunicated or
suspended, six infants were baptized. The present membership of
this church is 46. The church at Petchaburi was for a good part of

84 ANNUAL REPORT.

the year without an ordained minister and regular preaching — and
that when it greatly needed both ; but it was impossible to supply it
and the other stations with this single ordained foreign laborer. The
delay in reinforcing this mission is one of the causes of the unsettled
state of things. No report has been received of the other two
churches in connection with the Presbytery.

Educatio7i. — The boys' school at Bangkok has had on its roll 60
pupils ; average attendance 42. Two-thirds of this number are
boarders. This school has been taught by Miss Mary McDonald.
Besides their regular course of studies the children have committed
to memory the shorter catechism, " Faith and Practice," and portions
of the Gospels in Siamese. An effort has been made by the superin-
tendent to secure a larger proportion of paying scholars, but not with
much success. The sum of $124 has been received from the parents
of some of the pupils for their board. The girls' boarding-school at
Bangkok has continued under the care of the Misses Olmstead and
Hartwell, who have not only enjoyed their work, but have had some
encouragement in it. The girls have made commendable pro-
gress in their studies. "Whilst the spiritual condition has not
been what we should have rejoiced to see, yet many encouraging
incidents have transpired to prove that the majority of the pupils
has at last begun to develop a conscience." After giving evidence
of this the report says : " The Sabbath service conducted by the
native licentiate, the Sabbath-school conducted by the two mission-
ary ladies, and the Sunda> night prayer-meeting, together with daily
devotions and the Friday afternoon prayer-meeting, have been blessed
to this consummation." One of the scholars has asked for baptism
and it is hoped that others will also come out decidedly as the
friends of Christ. The school was invited to place at the Centen-
nial Exhibition at Bangkok fancy and other articles made by the
girls, in some cases prepared in the grand hall of the Queen.
" These were the admiration of the King, who expressed the same in
emphatic terms to the teachers personally, and afterward proved
the sincerity of his words by purchasing the entire collection. His
majesty further attested his approval of the cause of female educa-
tion in Siam by forwarding to each of the associate principals a
silver medal, a souvenir of the first exposition in Bangkok." The
number enrolled during the year was 37 ; of these, 10 were day
scholars.

The removal of Miss CofTman and Miss McDonald from Petcha-
buri threw the whole educational work upon Miss Cort, who was
able to devote her whole time to it, not missing a single day during
the year, and spending in the school-room a large part of each day.
She had charge of five schools and a boarding department. There
were 2,^ connected with the Howard Industrial School, who spend
part of each day in learning to sew, and another part in study. The
garments made by the older ones are sold, for which they receive
pay — extending from two to eight cents a day. All in this institution
are required to attend religious services. There were 38 girls and
8 boys in attendance upon the Glendale school, which is held in

the mission compound ; two of this number expect soon to make a
public profession of their faith in Christ. The Colorado school
was attended by i 2 girls and 2 boys ; the Market Street school by
II girls and 2 boys, and the Bethany school by 18 girls and 5 boys.
There were only 11 in the boarding department, 4 of whom paid
for their board. The Sabbath-school was kept up after the morn-
ing sermon. Miss Cort prepared a Life of Christ in Siamese,
which is now ready for the press. It is a partial translation of
Yonge's " Bible History."

Medical. — For a good part of the year Dr. Sturge was the only
male missionary at Petchaburi. Besides attending to his medical
practice he taught for a time a school in the Laos village, about
two miles from the town. This was sometimes attended by 30
scholars. A religious service was held in the school-house every
Tuesday afternoon during the dry season. He reports prescribing
for 4,552 cases, about double the number of the previous year.
More than half of these were females. "Among the patients,"
he says, " were many Chinese and not a few Buddhist priests and
native physicians. The surgical operations were about 200. Many
serious cases, the result of violence purposely inflicted, have come
under my care during the past year ; among them compound frac-
tures of the skull, fractures of the lower jaw, arms, ribs and fingers,
gunshot wounds, etc. All these were intentionally perpetrated, and
are mentioned to show the moral condition of the Siamese. Pet-
chaburi has only about 10,000 inhabitants and there have been
other cases from the same cause which did not come under my
care." A small hospital built of brick has been completed. In
the upper story are two wards separated by a central room used as
a dispensary. " The object of the hospital is to gather in the
afflicted from the surrounding country that they may be healed of
their bodily infirmities, and at the same time pointed to the Great
Physician who alone can heal the soul. We believe that it will
prove a great aid to mission work in this place." Most of the
money for this building has been raised by Dr. Sturge.

The Pi-ess. — Dr. McDonald revised during the year the Epistles
from Romans to Philemon, inclusive, and printed 2,000 copies.
There were also issued in Siamese 1,000 copies of" Man the Judge,"
" Religious Balance," 1,500 copies, "Creator and Redeemer," 1,500
copies, and 1,000 copies of the Shorter Catechism.

Statistics: 4 churches, 148 members. Boarding-schools: boys
40, girls 38. Day-schools : boys 37, girls 113.

MISSION AMONG THE LAOS. ' 8/

MISSION AMONG THE LAOS.

Chieng-Mai: on the River Quee-Pinff, 500 miles north of Bans;li;ok; occupied as
a mission station, 1867 ; missionary laborers— Rev. Jonatlian Wilson ; Rev. Nfessra.
Daniel McGilvar}', D.D., and Rev. J. P. Hearst, and their wives ; Rev. S. C. Peoples,
M.D., M. Cheek, M.D. ; Miss Edna S. Cole, Miss Isabella A. Griffin, Miss Sadie C.
Wirt, Miss Florence Wishard, and Miss Antoinette Warner. One native assistant ;
four outstations.

In this country : Mrs. J. Wilson.

This mission was reduced during the year to a minimum force —
having only one ordained missionary who was able to attend to
the central station and the different outposts. He did what he could
to maintain services at most of these, and his labors were not in vain.
When the report of the year was completed, a strong reinforcement
was on its way — consisting of Rev. Dr. McGilvary and his wife on
their return, Rev. J. P. Hearst and his wife, Rev. S. C Peoples, and
the Misses Griffin, Wirt, Wishard, and Warner. These probably
reached Chiengmai in March.

Dr. Cheek and his wife greatly feel the need of rest after their
arduous labors, and are contemplating a visit to this country.

Through the inability of Mr. Wilson to visit Lakown, no com-
munion service was held in that church during the year. One of the
elders was put in irons and imprisoned on the plea of debt, but the
real reason was hostility to the new religion and to all who favored
it. This act was therefore intended to intimidate the members of
the church and all who sympathized with them, and it had its effect
upon two of its number. Similar attempts to suppress the spread
of the "new doctrine" among the Karen villages were made by
the Lakown authorities, and this determination to arrest all aggres-
sive movements upon their religion, shows that they dread the dif-
fusion of Christianity among the people.

" One of the elders of the Chiengmai Church," says the report,
" was dismissed to that of Moa Dawk Doong. One man who had
long been careless of church privileges has gone back to spirit-
worship. Early in the year he was taken with fever, when he was
persuaded to employ the services of a 'medicine man.' He re-
covered, and from that time considered himself wedded to the
spirits of the family clan. When cited to appear before the church
for this, he replied that he wished his name stricken from the roll —
adding, that if in the future he fell heir to incurable disease, he
would come back to the church for help. From what we gather of
his life since his baptism, we are convinced that he has not known
what real faith in Christ is, and that his one idea is, Christianity is
nothing more than matter of mere worldly advantage. There may
be others in the church like him. Still we judge not. Time will
try eveiy man's work, and the Lord knoweth them that are His."

Two of this church were removed by death — one a man of .sixty
years, and the other a little girl, the youngest of the number.
They left behind them expression of their hope in Christ. Two

young children and two adults in Bethlehem church have died. It
was no unmeaning ceremony for the Christian friends to gather, in
worship of the blessed Saviour, around the coffins of these little
ones, and then, in the comfort of faith, to bear them to their graves.
The religious superstition of this land would have denied them
coffins, and given them hastier and less seemly burial. The parents
in their sorrow understood something of the Saviour's meaning
when He said : "Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid
them not, for of such is the kingdom of heaven."

Death of Loong Nan Inta. — This man was the first convert among
the Laos of Chiengmai — the first elder in the Chiengmai church, and
then in the church of Bethlehem. From the day of his conversion
to that of his death, he was firm in his faith, decided in his convic-
tions, earnest in his work, and faithful to his obligations. He sought
to win others to Christ, and the cause is greatly indebted to his
Christian life and labors. He was taken under the care of Presby-
tery of Siam, as a candidate for the ministry in 1873, but he was
unable to go to Bangkok till 1879 fo'' licensure, when he concluded
that his health was too uncertain for such a step, but, said he, "I
will do what I can for the Master in the position I already fill," and
he did it faithfully and loyally, until the Master came for him.

" When told that he could not live through the day he turned to
his eldest child and committed the mother to his care. He gave
his hand to each of us first, then to his dear faithful wife and chil-
dren and grandchildren, and last to the church members, saying
to them, 'Be patient! be patient! trust in Jesus, all of you.' To
his youngest son he said, ' I am walking on the way you all must go ;
only be ready for our Lord. Oh, my son, do not fall from the right
path. Trust in the Lord now and do His work as I have tried to
do. You will suffer many trials, but they will be forgotten when the
day of reward comes. You plant the rice fields in the water and in
the rain, but three months from now you will gather the harvest.
Learn from your yearly work the lesson of life, and strengthen
yourself in Jesus.' He suffered greatly, but toward the last he lay
quietly as if sleeping, then suddenly opened his eyes and looked at
me as if he would speak, but he was not looking at me, for his eyes
were full of light and joy. A smile passed over his face, and at the
same instant he breathed his last."

Religious services were kept up every Sabbath in three of the
churches and at an outstation some eight miles distant from Chieng-
mai. Sabbath-school was continued with its wonted interest, under
the superintendence of Dr. Cheek. Each of the missionaries had
classes, Mrs. Cheek the women who could not read, she giving them
oral instruction. The number enrolled was over a hundred, but
the average attendance was considerably less.

Medical. — Dr. Cheek reports that there has been a considerable
increase in the medical work over that of any previous year. The
number who received medicines in one way or another was about
13,000, and "the applicants in many cases came from districts from
which we had not previously had patients, while many of the

princes and others from the city who had kept aloof from any con-
tamination from the hated foreigners, have been compelled to seek
for themselves or their slaves the remedies which had proved to be
life-saving to so many others ; so that the foreign medicines have been
more generally and more thoroughly tested than ever, and their
effects contrasted with the native methods of combating disease —
incantation, spirit-worship, sacred water, with or without some rude
empiricism with native herbs, the bones, teeth, and gall of various
reptiles and mammals — have given them a wide recommendation."
This interesting report of Dr. Cheek's may be printed in the Foreign
Missionary. He pleads earnestly for means to build a hospital, so
that this branch of the mission work in Chiengmai can be usefully
extended.

The Boarding-school\\z.^ to be discontinued. To maintain it would
have involved an amount of care and physical exertion, on the part
of Miss Cole, that would have soon broken her down. Its super-
vision, with that of the whole work at the station with no one to
help, was simply impossible. It was therefore wise to utilize her
time and abilities in carrying forward other departments of labor,
which she has done with considerable success. The school will be
resumed after the arrival of those who are on their way to assist in it.
Some eight of the former pupils have been, however, under her
daily training. Five boys, one of them the son of Princess Ooboon,
and nephew of the Queen, came to her for daily lessons in English;
arithmetic and geography are two branches of their studies. She
has also had a Bible-class, to which she has given an hour or more
of her time each day. This class has about twenty-five names on
its roll — twelve of them former pupils.

During the year, one of her girls, at her suggestion, began
a school for the little children of the mission compounds. She
has taught them their letters, and to read for an hour in the morn-
ing and also to sing the hymns used in worship. Miss Cole has also
visited at the houses of the villagers as she has had strength.
All this, with the study of the language, which she continues, makes
a work that would fill the hands of one in the vigor of health.
The work of building for the school has progressed but slowly. It
has been one mainly of preparation.

" As the North Laos Mission grows in the number of its mission-
aries— the number of its agencies for the evangelization of the peo-
ple— the number of its baptized converts, and the number of its
stations, it calls for the prayers of the whole Church to multiply
themselves many fold. We are sure these will be offered for us.
Leaving the old year with God for His mercy, we enter the coming
one with desire and hope of His rich blessing upon us and our
work."

Canton Mission*

The mission report speaks witli gratitude of the preservation of the
health of the missionaries during the year, though death has somewhat
reduced the force of native helpers. The three churches in Canton
have all been prosperous, though no unusual ingatherings are recorded.
To the five churches of the mission the additions have been as follows :
First church, 42 ; Second church, 52 ; Third church, 7 ; San Ui church.
10 ; Chik Horn church, since September, when it was organized, 3.
Total accessions 115 — a gain of over 23 per cent. The successes of
the year, liowever, are but very inadequately set forth by the mere
statistics of membership. The general leaven of Christian influence
is effecting changes which can not be accurately measured. The in-
fluence of the mission is felt in many ways, and operates through a
great variety of channels. Preaching the Gospel not only in the
churches, but also in the street chapels, of which there are 8 in the
city ; schools, itinerating, medical practice, Bible-reading from house to
house — all these are co-oi)erating for the one result. In a peculiar
degree the work of the dispensary helps that of the adjoining chapel.
The daily preacliing heard in Canton sows the seed of the Word in
distant towns, while the work done in the outstations strengthens in
turn that of the congregations in the city. One new church has
been organized during the year. It is situated in a country town and
is known as the Chik Horn church. The history of the organization
illustrates so well the vigorous and self-reliant character of some of
these outlying churches that we quote the account given in the mis-
sion report :

"It was organized on the 30th of September with 21 members; 18
were from the San Ui church, i from P'irst church, and i from Second
church at Canton, and i from California. The church is mainly the
result of the work which centres at the mission chapel, established

92 ANNUAL REPORT.

here five years ago. Six of the members are from one village, fifteer>
miles from the chai)el. Early in the year they commenced, entirely
of their own accord, holding meetings in one of their own houses reg-
ularly on the Sabbath and sometimes on week days. These meetings
have been kei)t up throughout the year with much interest, and their
effect is evident in the earnest character of the members who live in
that locality. One of the colporteurs of the mission meets with them
whenever he can. Another interesting feature of this church is that
it has undertaken to be self-supporting. On the evening of the or-
ganization, after the usual Bible-lesson, three months' salary for the
native preacher was laid down, in good silver, upon the table and then
placed in the teacher's hands. Those in mission employ, connected
with the church, all give one-tenth of their salaries, and some of the
members do the same. One colporteur, whose salary is $5.00 per
month, gives one dollar a month. This man, the day after one of the
communion Sabbaths, proposed walking back to his station, 30 miles.
It was said to him : ' It will be a long walk ; had you not better take a
boat ? ' His reply was : ' No. I had rather walk and save the money
for the church.' Not a cent has been drawn from the mission treasury
since the organization, September 30th. The members have already
paid the salary of their preacher up to March ist, and the rent of the
building up to the middle of next June, besides spending some twenty
dollars for repairs. It is but right to add that they have received gen-
erous aid from Mr. Jones, of the American Bible Society, who has
been laboring in that region. Another hopeful feature of the work
here is that it is reaching the women. Mrs. Noyes and a Bible-woman
spent a month last year, and a shorter time this year, in visiting the
women at their homes, and with very encouraging results. Those of
them who have joined the church are earnest and faithful. Of the 23
members 7 are women. Statistics : Added on examination since Sep-
tember 30th, 2 ; received by letter to organize the church, 21 ; adults
baptized, 2 ; infants baptized, 2 ; whole number of members, 23 ; con-
tributions, $75.08."

Regular services have been maintained in the First church by Dr.
Happer on the Sabbath and during the week ; at the same time much
attention has been given to the men's training-school. Mr. Henry has
had charge of the Second church, the preaching in the Treasury
Street chapel, and the chapel work connected with the hospital, be-
sides an itinerating work in which 143 villages were visited in the
interior. He also visited the island of Hainan, whose population
of one million embraces aboriginal tribes who, it is thought, are more
teachable than the Chinese, and among whom harvests might be
gathered, like those of the Karens of Burmah or the original mount-
ain tribes of Formosa. Mr. Noyes has had pastoral oversight of the
Third church, together with preaching in the city chapels. He has
also spent live months in itinerating, penetrating new fields to the
north and west of Canton, which invite missionary effort on a large
icale. On every hand the demand for more laborers in the vineyard
ss so great as to be well-nigh disheartening, in view of our scanty means
to supply it. Messrs. White, Fulton, and Thompson, though mainly

MISSIONS IN CHINA. 93

occupied with the acquisition of the language, have joined in the itiner-
ating work, and are contemplating the establishment of a new station at
Linchow. Thus far their efforts to secure mission pro|)erty, except a
place for a dispensary, have not been successful. The people are
friendly, but the ruling Mandarin is strongly opposed.

The men's training-school, under the care of Dr. Happer, has had
20 students during the year. Four men have been examined with a
view to employment as helpers. One former graduate has been called
to the pastoral care of a Chinese church in Honolulu. It is a signifi-
cant fact that four men from California are now employed as helpers
by the Canton mission. While the reflex influence of the California
mission upon the mother country has, perhaps, been exaggerated, such
acknowledgments of indebtedness as this will show how intiuiately the
one work of two hemispheres is related.

The training-school for women, under the care of Miss Hattie Noyes,
has numbered 42 pupils, while the girls' boarding-school has had 68.
Eight women and five girls have been received into the church. Three
women from the school have commenced Christian work and one has
entered upon the study of medicine.

During the ten years' history of this school 86 pupils have been re-
ceived into the church, and 42 have become active helpers. Miss
Noyes has also had the supervision of two or three day-schools and
an equal number of Bible-women. So interesting has this latter
branch of her work become, that, in some instances, large numbers of
women have come into Canton from distant towns. On one occasion
over 100 came thus to receive instruction.

Altogether there are 11 Bible-readers in the employment of the
mission. The supervision of these with 28 day-schools is divided be-
tween the ladies of the mission — Mrs. and the Misses Hai)per, Mrs.
Noyes, Miss Noyes, and Miss Butler. Miss Henry has continued her
very successful work among the orphans, and Mrs. Kerr has given in-
struction to native women in her house.

The boys' boarding-school has been mainly under Miss Butler's
care, and has numbered 8 boarders and 30 day-scholars.

The 28 day-schools are exerting a wide-spread influence. The
total number of pupils under instruction has been 996. Wiio can es-
timate the influence of this quiet but life-giving instruction of a thou-
sand youth of both sexes ?

The hospital work, under the care of Dr. J. G. Kerr, has been great-
ly prospered. He has had 19,199 out-patients, 1,182 in-patients, and
has performed 963 surgical operations. During a part of the year
Miss Mary E. Niles, M.D., now of the Ningpo mission, was under his
special instruction. Miss Butler is studying medicine ; and several
natives also have formed a class.

Dr. Joseph Thompson has secured for his medical work a footing in
Linchow. A small dispensary has already been opened, and there is
reason to believe that his medical work will be the means of opening
the way for spiritual seed-sowing in that important inland city.

During the year work has been commenced in Macao, where, early
in the year, a few native Christians, at their own instance, rented

reliant and earnest Christian spirit are beginning to appear.

Ningpo Mission.

Marked changes have occurred in the Ningpo or Central China
mission during the past year. The Rev. Messrs. W. S. Holt and John
Butler and their families have returned after a leave of absence. Rev.
J. N. Hayes and wife, appointed during the year, have been stationed at
Soochow, and Rev. R. E. Abbey, who has been married to Mrs. Albert
Whiting, is assigned to Nanking. Rev. O. H. Chapin and wife and
Miss Lizzie D. Farnham, newly appointed, have been stationed at
Shanghai, and the Rev. F. V. Mills and wife at Hangchow. The Rev.
Charles Leaman and family have returned to this country on leave of
absence, on account of the health of Mrs. Leaman. Dr. J. E. Stub-
bert has been removed by the direction of the mission from Nankin to
Ningpo, where he expects to open a dispensary.

Shanghai Station.

Immediately on the arrival of Mr. Holt to resume the charge of
the press, Mr. Fitch and family proceeded to Soochow. On December
2d Dr. Farnham was obliged to return to America on account of his
health, leaving Mrs. and Miss Farnham to pursue their work in his
absence.

The boys' and girls' boarding-schools at the South Gate, to which
their attention is given in part, have been carried on with their usual
success. During the year there have been in attendance forty-two
boys and thirty-one girls, the present number being thirty boys and
twenty-seven girls. In addition to the boarding-schools there have
been nineteen day-schools, distributed as follows : In Shanghai, 9 ;
Soongkong, 4 ; at Tsu-poo, 4 ; at An So, 2. These schools report an
attendance of 358 scholars, 266 boys and 92 girls. Some of these
day-schools are under Mrs. Farnham's care.

During the year Rev. Tang-Tah-tsoong was installed pastor of the
First church at the South Gate. There have been added to it on pro-
fession of iaith, 17 persons; by letter, 2. The number at present is
127, of whom 66 are males and 6x females.

In addition to the supi)ort of the pastor, the church maintains three
Sunday-schools in Shanghai, Soongkong, and Tsu-poo, with an aver-
age aggregate attendance of about 500. The church also supports one
of the day-schools and a Bible-woman.

MISSIONS IN CHINA. 95

One of the assistants, Tsu-Tsok-San, a licentiate of Shanghai Pres-
bytery, was ordained on October 2 2d, and has gone to Nanking as an
assistant.

A dispensary which has been opened at the South Gate was under
the charge of a native assistant, a student of the London mission hos-
pital, for a part of the year.

General approval has been expressed not only by the central, but by
the northern mission, of the manner in which the Press has been con-
ducted during the absence of Mr. Holt by the Rev. G. F. Fitch. The
amount of work has been very large, the men having been called to
work during a part of the night. Most of the work done has been
strictly connected with missionary enterprise. The work of the Ameri-
can Bible Society has been kept up and a larger amount of printing for
the use of the mission has been done than for several years past.
$2,000 were allowed by the Board in 1882, and $2,500 in 1883 for
printing in the interests of the various missions. These amounts have
been taken from the surplus earnings of the press. The press has for
some years yielded an income to the mission, and the superintendent
has paid over $5,000 into the treasury of the mission from the earn-
ings of the past year. The rksnme oi the press work in 1882 is a fol-

The organization during the year of the Second Presbyterian church
in connection with the press building was a very important step in ad-
vance. The Rev. Pow Tsitsai has been called to its jjastoral care. This
church numbers seventeen members. Mr. Pow has also charge of a
street chapel in the Peking Road, in which strangers have an oppor-
tunity every day to listen to the Word. The day-school is also con-
nected with the press building, and is under the management of Mrs.
Holt. The nuuiber of pupils is twenty-one. During the year a new
printing-press was sent out to Shanghai by the Board, and is reported
as doing most etftcient work.

Ningpo Station.

The return of the Rev. John Butler and his family has greatly en-
couraged the missionaries of this station who during the previous year
had been overburdened with work and responsibility. The local
church has received during the year 6 persons on examination, 5 of
whom were from the girls' boarding-school. Some very interesting
cases are reported among the converts gained during the year. An
interesting feature of the work at the Ningpo station is the presby-
terial boys'-school. This is under the care of a committee of the
presbytery and is wholly or almost wholly supported by the native
churches. Its formation marks an important era in the history of this

^6 ANNUAL REPORT.

mission, and it looks more like a self-supporting, self- developing Chris-
tianity than almost any other thing connected with the mission. It is
at present in a vigorous condition, having an average of about 30
pupils selected from the different native churches of the presbytery.
It should be a matter of prayer on the part of the Church that these
young men thus gathered and trained by the native churches them-
selves may become bright and shining lights in the diffusion of the
Gospel. The girls' boarding-school of thirty-one pupils under the care
of Mrs. McKee, has been prosperous. So far as the limited number
of missionaries at the station would admit, the work of visiting the out-
stations has been carried on. Important work has been done by Miss
Warner in visiting fiom house to house in Ningpo as well as in super-
intending the numerous day-schools. A new outstation has been estab-
lished at Song-o, and a suitable house has been secured for holding
services. At another recently formed station six believers have been
won to the truth. One of these was converted by a careful perusal of
the gospel of Luke which he had purchased from a missionary. A class
for young men has been formed for the purpose of more thorough train-
ino- for the ministerial work. A good report is given of the native as-
sistants, who go forth in apostolic style as itinerant preachers of the Gos-
pel in the widespread Ningpo district. The report urges the purchase of
a much-needed sanitarium in the mountains near Ningpo. This fortu-
nately has been assumed through the munificence of a friend, and has
been authorized by the Board.

Hangchow.

With the accession of Mr. and Mrs. Mills this station has only re-
ceived the same amount of missionary force that it had enjoyed for
several years past. Although the time of Mr. Mills has been given
chiefly to the acquisition of the language, and Mr. Judson has been
virtually unaided, the interests of the mission have been promoted by
at least a moderate growth. The church in Hangchow has received 9
members, though but 3 of these were received on profession of their faith.
The total membership is 58. The Sabbath-school numbers 100. The
contributions of the church amounted to $130.53. A second church in
the Hangchow district has received 5 members on profession and num-
bers 37. This church contributed $84.81. At an outstation is another
small church of 10 mea)bers.

The boys' boarding-school, under the care of Mr. Judson, has
numbered 29 pupils. There are more applicants for aduiission than
can be received. In the main the school is considered prosperous.

There are four day-schools, having a total attendance of 70 pupils.
Three of these are in charge of Mrs. Judson,

Suchow.

Owing to the absence of Mr. Fitch for a year, during which he has
had charge of the press in Shanghai, Suchow has been without a niis-
sionary and the work has suffered accordingly. We are obliged to give
the report of membership which we gave last year. The labors of

MISSIONS IN CHINA. 97

both Mr. and Mrs. Fitch have been abundant and fruitful in Shanghai
in connection with the newly organized church at the press buildings,
and it is to be hoped that with the aid of Mr. and Mrs. Hayes, who
have been assigned to Suchow, they will be able to raise that station
to a new measure of prosperity.

Nanking.

This station has been more seriously affected by changes in its
missionary force than any other, not accepting Chinanfou. The ab-
sence of Mr. and Mrs. Leaman and the removal of Dr. Stubbert to
Ningpo have for a part of the year left Mrs. Whiting, now Mrs.
Abbey, alone. Necessary building operations have also consumed
much time and diverted attention from direct missionary work. Still
something has been done by native helpers, and in day-schools and
work among native women.

The addition of Mr. Abbey to the station and the transfer of Miss
Mary E. Niles, M.D., from Canton to Nanking near the end of the
year have given a more hopeful aspect to the work.

Peking Mission.

The missionaries of the Peking station record with gratitude the de-
gree of health which has been accorded to its members throughout the
year. Mr. and Mrs. J^IcCoy have returned to the field after a leave of
absence, and the mission has been reinforced by Miss Fannie M. Strong,
who will assist Miss Barr in the girls' school. There has been an in-
creased attendance at the church and Sabbath-school. Seventeen have
been added to the church on profession in Peking, and thirteen in the
outstations, some of whom give unusual promise of usefulness. Work
has been continued in the street chapel, the services being, for the most
part, well attended. Many are represented as expressing their belief
in the Gospel, yet from prudential reasons refraining from union
with the church. Considerable work has been done in the selling of
books and tracts in the streets. The native laborers have spent a fair
portion of their time in the outstations, and Mr. and Mrs. AVhiting have
also made an extended tour. The boys' school, under the care of the
Rev. Mr. Wherry, has employed two native teachers, one a graduate
of Dr. Mateer's school in Tungchow. He is a man of excellent
scholarship, both classical and scientific. He has been many years a

Christian, and as such has exerted a good influence in the school dur-
ing this, his first year. The course of instruction has inchided the
Chinese classics and the ordinary branches of study, besides daily
Scriptural studies. One of the more advanced pupils is under the care
of the Peking Presbytery, and is preparing for the ministry. The num-
ber of pupils is twenty-six, eight of whom are members of the church,
most of them having joined recently. The station report adds : " In
one sense we hope all may be said to be Christians." This school might
be almost indefinitely enlarged, and its work is exceedingly promising.

The girls' school has been carried on successfully, though both this
and tlie boys' school are in need of better accommodations. The num-
ber of pupils reported in the girls' school is twenty-five. An industrial
class of various ages has been conducted by Mrs. Whiting, and one of
the pupils has joined the church. Considerable work has been done
by members of the mission, particularly Rev. John Wherry, in the
preparation of books and other much-needed literary work. The medi-
cal department, under Dr. B. C. Atterbury, has received a great im-
pulse during the year, in connection with the new building which he had
purchased at his own expense for the prosecution of his work. The
number treated at the dispensary in the northern part of the city has
been 1,560, and at the dispensary in connection with the hospital, 450.
Since the opening of the hospital in the latter part of 188 1, forty-six
surgical cases of various kinds have been treated. Most of the jjatients
have paid something for the food and medicine, thus observing the very
important principle of self-help according to ability. Attention has
been given in connection with this medical work to spiritual teaching,
in order that, coupled with bodily healing, there may be the entrance
of the Word of Life.

In relation to the hopefulness of the outstation work. Rev. J. L.
Whiting reports as follows : " I have been particularly interested in an
outstation in the northern part of Shantung. We have quite a num-
ber of men fron) the villages which I have visited in the Pingzuan and
Zuching districts engaged in business in this city. Several years since
three of them became interested in Christianity, and finally joined the
church here. Since that, others have been received. Some have re-
turned home, and others have come in their places. Those going home
have carried the Gospel with them. Their families and some of. their
neighbors have become interested. They have asked us to visit them.

" During the last year we have twice sent a helper to labor in that
section. During the early winter he had a daily class of inquirers num-
bering eight or ten, for about a month. On his return he reported
that during the Week of Prayer they had felt a special outpouring of the
Holy Spirit, that nearly all who had met for prayer had been broken
down with a sense of sin ; that church members and inquirers had con-
fessed their sins with much weeping, and that several inquirers were
anxiously looking forward *.o being received into the church.

"Many people little acquainted with the Chinese think them a stolid
people, devoid of feeling, but those who have carefully observed them
become more and more convinced that such is not the case. Some
missionaries have expressed surprise that we have hitherto seen so lit-

MISSIONS IN CHINA. 99

tie apparently deep conviction for sin in connection with the conver-
sion of individuals, and still less of that general awakening often mani-
fested in times of revival at home. The facts stated by this helper show
conclusively that the Chinese are susceptible of religious feeling, and
that when the knowledge of the truth shall have been generally dis-
seminated, we may confidently expect powerful awakenings, and multi-
tudes together turning from heathenism to Christianity. For my part,
I rather fear that when that time shall come, they will be carried into
extravagances, than that they will be too little influenced by feeling.

"As the helper brought an earnest invitation both for Mrs. Whiting
and myself to visit the villages mentioned this fall, we determined to
acce|)t. We had a taste of riding on carts and wheel-barrows and
on donkeys, besides walking for a change. We found more appli-
cants for baptism than we had been led to expect. Thirteen adults
were received, and three children were baptized. These persons were
from three villages, the farthest of which were twenty miles apart."

The missionaries of the Peking station have never been so greatly
cheered as now by the hopeful aspects of their work at all i)oints.
They urge strongly, however, their great need of additional accommo-
dations, and these nuist speedily be provided.

Chefou.

The Chefou station has been reinforced by the return of Dr. and
Mrs. Nevius, and the arrival in October of the Rev. Gilbert Reid.
Miss Tiffany has, during the year, been disconnected from the station
by marriage into another mission. The church and congregation in
Chefou has been attended with a gratifying success, the growth of the
congregation having been greatly promoted by the enlargement of the
church edifice. The number added to the local church is 107. The
Sabbath-school has been kept up vigorously, and preaching services
have been maintained in the chapel in the business portion of the city.

The girls' school, which had been suspended for some time, has
been reorganized under the care of Mrs. Lyenberger, and an urgent
request has been sent to the Board for a new missionary to assist in
instruction. The school formerly in charge of Mrs. Nevius has again
passed into her hands, having, during her absence, been under the care
of Mrs. Lyenberger ; and Miss Minnie Berry, of California, has, toward
the close of the year, been appointed to assist her.

The boys' boarding-school at Chefou has been successfully taught
by one of the former pupils. He graduated at the college at Tung-
chow a year ago. During the early part of the year there was niucn
sickness in the school. At one time fourteen of the boys were down
with fever. This caused a serious break in study. The last half of
the year has been marked by diligent study and cheering success. The
objects and aims of this school have frequently been referred to in the
past. Two from this school are soon to enter the theological class,
and two others will begin the study of foreign medicine. Three of the
boys have taken prizes for scholarship in the Tungchow college.

A good work has been accomplished, as in former years, in the in-

100 ANNUAL REPORT.

striiction of inquirers and those who are in course of preparation for
nsefuhiess as native teachers and preachers. These are generally drawn
from tiie country districts to spend a few months in Chefou, under the
direction of Mr. Corbett and Dr. Nevius. Mr. Corbett says: "The
great majority of those who have studied in former years are now liv-
ing Christian lives, and some of them are very zealous and efficient in
making known the truth."

During the summer Mr. Lyenberger had a class of upwards of thirty
men from different parts of the interior ; now thirty-five men are study-
ing with Mr. Corbett. They seem to be sincere seekers after truth,
and are intelligent and thoughtful men. They are much interested in
study, and may be expected to prove faithful and efficient leaders at
their homes, which are mostly in new regions from loo to 300 miles
distant from Chefou, and where, as yet, there are no churches and no
regular preaching.

The faithful work of Miss Anderson among the women of the vil-
lages around Chefou has been pursued with its usual success. It is a
work whose only attraction is that — the very highest indeed — of win-
ning souls to Christ.

Of the country churches, Mr. Corbett says : " My faith has been
strengthened and my heart cheered by the many evidences which I
saw of God's power in the hearts of the people while on my late journey.
The outlook has never been so promising as at present. Seventy-two
have been received into the church during my autumn journey, mak-
ing 123 additions in the outstations during the past eight months. One
of these is a man eighty-one years of age, blind and feeble, but clear
of mind and of intelligent spiritual understanding. Two others, both
seventy-five years of age, were received, and still another eighty-seven
years of age. His case is an interesting one. Having casually heard
one of the native preachers he requested all his neighbors to certainly
inform him if the preacher came that way again. An opportunity was
soon given him to listen again to the truth, which he received gladly.
Receiving Christ at last, he pressed the missionary's hand and said,
with tears, ' I am sure God must have jjut it into your hearts to come
so far to tell me this joyful news. What would have become of me if
1 had not lived until now'; and he added, ' When I first heard that it
was 1,882 years since Christ came to save the world and that He had
commanded His disciples to preach the Gospel to all creatures, I could
not believe it possible ; for why, then, the delay ? WHiy have I been
permitted to live to an extreme old age and never, until now, been
permitted to hear even an intimation of the truth which equally con-
cerns every human being?' This man had been a skeptic concern-
ing heathen worship from his childhood, and had refused to worship
at the graves of his ancestors, at the same time feeling an insatiable
longing in his heart which nothing could satisfy until he received the
Saviour."

Nothing can exceed the interest of some of the incidents given in
Mr. Corbett's correspondence concerning his field. The following is
an exan)ple : A Christian man had resolved to remove to a distant
locality to escape from persecution. Finding a favorable community

MISSIONS IN CHINA. lOI

he rented a place of residence and returned for his wife, who, however,
refused to accompany him. As she threatened to commit suicide if he
left his home, his plan was abandoned ; but during his visit to the place
of his intended residence he had preached the truth, and a young man
who had listened soon followed him to his home. There he became
more fully acquainted with the Gospel of Life. Returning at last to
communicate the good news to his friends, he and his father, an older
brother, nephew, and a son, were baptized.

Twelve day-schools are reported at the outstations, each of which
becomes as a city set upon a hill, spreading its influence far and near.
In every case also the school becomes a church or worshipping assem-
bly. The report shows great encouragement in regard to native labor-
ers, who " are trained for their work in such a way as to retain their sim-
ple habits of life, living cheaply and never losing sympathy with their peo-
ple." A striking instance is given of Christian devotion on the part of
a converted Tauist priest, who received baptism about two years since.
He has set apart his own house as a place of worship, and rented a
small room near by, in which he lives with his family. " During the
year," says Mr. Corbett, "it was my privilege to baptize twenty-eight
persons in his house. The people acknowledge this priest as their
leader in bringing them to the knowledge of the truth. He now con-
ducts their worship of God as he formerly led them in the worship of
idols. His wife's father and brother were of the number thus baptized."

Tungchow.

This station has been reinforced during the year by the arrival of
Mr. and Mrs. VV. M. Hayes, though at the same time it has been de-
prived of the service of the Rev. Charles Mills, who is in this country
on leave of absence. The high-school or college, under the care of
the Rev. Dr. Mateer, has advanced steadily in its course of prosperity.

There has been a larger number in attendance than in any previous
year. The average has been sixty-five. The large increase was owing
mainly to the higher reputation of the school among the Chinese, to-
gether with the increased number of native Christians in the interior,
among whom are many who are anxious to secure an education for
their sons. A goodly number of the new pupils admitted are already
well advanced in their Chinese studies, several being full-grown men.
Ownig to this increase in numbers an additional house has been
secured and fitted up at a moderate expense. More branches have
been taught than in any previous year. In doing this the chief de-
pendence has been placed on the former graduates as teachers, and
they have done most efficient and faithful service. The school has
suffered from the fact that in the absence of Mr. Mills, Dr. and Mrs.
Mateer have had their attention called in part to general mission work.
The school report says : " We have great reason for thankfulness that the
religious tone of the institution still continues excellent; nearly every
one of the pupils who is of a sufficiently mature age is a professed
Christian," Nine were baptized during the year. Three young nien,
all of good talents, were graduated. One of these has gone to Hang-

102 ANNUAL REPORT.

chow to take charge of the boys' school, another has been called to
Chefoo to superintend the Scotch Presbyterian mission school, and the
third will assist Dr. Neviiis in his extensive country work.

In its standard of studies, this institution has all the elements of a col-
lege. Its graduates are found in various parts of usefulness throughout
North China ; and there is in contemplation in the immediate future,
a medical department in which promising young men will be trained
as Christian physicians.

The ladies of the station who have wholly or in part acquired the
language, kept up all their usual departments of labor in schools and in
labor among women from house to house.

The opening of the year was saddened by the death of Mrs. Capp.
All hearts were filled with grief by the loss of one so useful and so well
beloved. Mrs. Shaw has given most of her time to the school which
Mrs. Capp left without a head. Mrs. Mateer, although suffering from
impaired health, has assisted her husband, not merely in the college,
but in the itinerating work. In the early part of the year she made a
trip extending fifty miles beyond Wei Hein. A part of the time she
had no other protector than one of the native helpers. The trip was
a very profitable one, as very goodly numbers of inquirers were ready
to hear the truth. Dr. Mateer made two trips dursig the year. Dur-
ing the second one he was permitted to baptize forty- six persons, most
of whom were converted by faithful labor on the part of a native helper.

The attention of the younger missionaries has been given mainly to
study of the language, though in school work and itineration, they have
made beginnings, and Dr. Horace Smith has not lacked for opportuni-
ties of medical practice.

Wei Hien.

An important step in advance has been taken in the establishment
of the new station, Wei Hien, from the missionary force at Tungchow.
The Revs. Robert Mateer and J. H. Laughlin and their wives, together
with Horace Smith, M.D., and his wife, have been sent by the mission
for the occupation of this new and most promising post, which lies about
150 miles south-west from Tungchow. Land has been purchased and
arrangements have been made for buildings for the use of the mission.
A providential gift of $5,000 by Miss S. B. Hill, as almoner of her
brother, the late James Hill, Esq., has furnished the means for the
erection of these buildings. The prayers of the Church doubtless will
attend these young families in their efforts to raise the standard of the
Gospel and lay the foundations of a Christian church in this promising
field.

Chinan Fou.

This station has been beset for two or three years past with pecul-
iar difficulties. The loss of its pioneer missionary, Rev. J. S. Mcll-
vaine, the prestige of whose apostolic labor had apparently given the
mission a most favorable outstart, and whose private funds had pur-
chased a church building for the use of the mission, seemed but the
beginning of calamities. Du-ect obstacles have also been interposed

MISSION IN JAPAN. IO3

by the hostility of the people, who even mobbed the chapel, broke up
the services, and involved the missionaries in questions with the au-
thorities which have not yet been settled. But it is the firm purpose
of the Shantung and Peking mis'sion not only to hold on to its work at
this, the capital of the province, but with the Board's help to reinforce
the station. An earnest call for two men has been voted by the mis-
sion. Surely it is not the first instance in which great discouragements
have fallen upon most promising fields, and it is believed that these re-
verses at Chinan Fou will, as in niany similar instances, be followed
by great and rich blessings.

Rev. Mr. Murray and Dr. Hunter have each, in his sphere, labored
on in preaching the Word and in ministering to the sick, hoping th it
brighter days may soon come, as they assuredly will.

It is the hope of the Board that two young men already under ap-
pointment may be sent to this remote but promising station.

Returning to tlds country: Mr. John C. Ballagh and his wife.

The death of the Rev. Oliver M. Green, November 17, 1882, was a
severe loss to this mission. He had returned to this country for his
health, but his work for Christ and the Japanese was done. He went
to Japan in 1873, His lovely character, fine talents and scholarship,
and devotedness to missionary service, secured for him the great regard
and affection of his fellow-laborers ; and his death in the prime of life,
being in the thirty-eighth year of his age, is one of the events to beun-
<ierstood hereafter. Mr. John C. Ballagh and his wife were constrained

by tiie state of their health to withdraw for a season from their efficient
work ill Tokio. They may soon be exi)ected in tliis country. The
Rev. Arthur V. Bryan and his wife, Misses Hesser, Garvin, Porter, and
Henry joined the mission during the year ; and Miss Youngman, with
improved health, returned to her work in Tokio. The serious illness
of the Rev. T. C. Winn, following soon the death of their young son,
was a great drawback to the work at his station, requiring the absence
of himself and his family for a considerable time after he was able to
leave his post ; but it is expected that he will soon return to Kanazawa.
The Rev. J. B. Porter remained on duty there with no associate, meet-
ing with good encouragement.

The transfer of the Rev. T. T. Alexander and his wife from Tokio
to Osaka was mentioned in the Report of last year. And four single
ladies were appointed to Osaka. This new station thus occupied will
be regarded as an advanced post in our Japanese field, and one marked
by favorable conditions. This city is the second in the Empire in its
population and influence, and it is supposed that it will give access to
other important places on the eastern side of the country. It will aid
this eastern side work, wliich was commenced previously at Kanazawa.
There is still some uncertainty as to the permanent residence of
foreign laborers, not being one of the ports open by treaty. Osaka,
one of the treaty cities, is free from this danger of insecurity. The
three brethren, Messrs. Winn, Alexander, and Porter, and the ladies,
may all be considered as connected in general with Osaka, even though
some of them may occupy other places, including Kanazawa, where
residence is permitted to foreigners.

MISSION IN JAPAI^. ^ 105

The work of the mission consists in preaching, by foreign and native
ministers ; teaching in day, boarding, and training-schools ; colporlage
by native Bible-readers and visitors, both men and women ; and trans-
lating the sacred Scriptures. The above statement of church sta-
tistics shows the progress made in the first of these lines of work. They
are taken from the report of the mission of February 29, 1883, but the
returns are mostly dated in the preceding December. Besides the num-
bers given in the table, the report mentions the death of forty church
members during the year, and the exclusion of fifty more.

The list of native laborers connected with the mission shows
a considerable increase, the whole number being forty-one. Forty-
nine preaching places are occupied in connection with sixteen organ-
ized churches ; ten are not so connected. Mr. Thompson refers to the
preaching work at some jjlaces in these terms : " Mr. Knox reports
the following as the principal items of interest in the churches con-
nected with our mission in the Eastern Chiu Kwai or Presbytery.

" I. The organization of a new church in Daillachi, in this city, and
a church building erected at a cost of 1,600 yen, of which 1,400 was
paid by the Japanese, .... one man paying over 1,000 yens of this
sum.

" 2. The formation of a Home Missionary Society in connection
with three churches.

"3. A good increase in the membership of the churches in Asakusa
and Roget-sucho,

" 4. An increased liberality in these churches and larger contribu-
tions for church expense and evangelistic work.

"5. An interesting work in the country fifty miles from the city on
the eastern sea-coast of Japan, where twelve men, most of them men
of education and position, have been baptized by native ministers."

Mr. Thompson adds : " As to my own work in the Northern
Chiukwai, I will only say that it has prospered during the year.
Nearly all our churches there show additions by baptism and some
liberality. My work among these churches consists of general super-
intendence and preaching nearly every Sabbath in different churches.
Also I made an evangelistic tour of one month in the region north of
this city, as before reported by me."

Mr. Porter says of Kanazawa in February : " This winter we have
purchased and repaired a very neat church building for the Kanazawa
believers. They have borne half of all the expenses, the other half be-
ing met by private individuals, so that it cost the mission nothing. It
will seat a little more than 100 persons. Instead of seats we have mats,
and the audience all sit in simple Japanese fashion. The Christians
have all shown a very commendable enthusiasm in getting and fitting
up their church, men and women working industriously to make it neat

and comfortable We have just opened another preaching place

in the city, with the special view of holding meetings for such as we
can not attract to the church." Four adults were baptized in De-
cember, one of them an officer in the army, formerly a Buddhist priest.
The work at this station has had marked success almost from its com-
mencement.

I06 ANNUAL REPORT.

The schools of the mission are making satisfactory progress. The
boarding-school for boys in Tokio reports loi scholars. It was under
the charge of Mr. Ballagh until his health required him to withdraw
from Japan for a time. He was assisted by Mr. Alexander until his
removal to Osaka and by Mr. and Mrs. McCauley all the year. The
services of Mr. O. R. Benton were engaged part of the year by the
mission. The studies of this school have been so well conducted as
to have secured for it a large degree of influence ; perhaps it may be-
come a school of still higher grade. The proposal to make it a col-
lege, in which three missions shall be represented, each contributing
a part of its support, has been favorably received in Tokio, but it is
not yet settled. " During the year," the report of the mission adds,
"twelve of the students have united with the church. The first class
graduated last year, and two of its members are now assisting in the
school ; one is teaching, and the other, while pursuing his studies in
the theological school, holds the place of monitor."

The report of the boarding-school for girls in Tsukiji, Tokio, has
not been received, but it is understood that this school, under the
charge of Misses Smith, I. A. Leete, L. Leete, and Reede, has been
in successful progress. Of the interesting educational and other work
in Bancho, Tokio, under the charge of Mrs. True and Miss Davis, a
very favorable account is given by xVIrs. True :

"We have had under our care during the year an average of 120
children and young women ; many of these are quite small children
and are in the day-schools only. The attendance has been quite uni-
form, and we have been able to rejoice in evident improvement in
lessons and general deportment. In each department of the school
Bible instruction is given daily. During the year two of the native
teachers and four of the pupils have been received into the visible
church. We have strong confidence that they are truly members of
Christ's body. All but two of our nine teachers are now professing
Christians, and we have much comfort in working with them. This
number includes our private teachers, also one who is studying English
half of each day. Our Sabbath-school has had an average attendance
of 6^ pupils and 8 teachers. Beside the school here, one of our
teachers has taught a class of women in the church Sabbath-school,
and another has a class of adults in one of our day-school buildings.
This class is designed especially for the parents of the day pupils ; as
yet the attendance is small, from six to twelve, but we hope for much
good from it.

" We have under our care four Bible-women. To their instruction
and assistance we have given much thought and time, and have felt a
measure of encouragement in the work ; but. for want of more time
and strength for that department, we have feared that less was being
done than might reasonably be hoped for. No women of experience
can be found, and to direct inexperienced women requires more time
than we, with so much school work, can well command. This has
been a source of much anxiety. Miss Davis has been able to assist,
throughout the year, in conducting the music in two churches. My
own work, outside of our own school, has been largely in connection

with the Kiyobashi church. It has been a source of joy to me that
in that church has grown up a sympathy and confidence in my abiding
interest and love for them. The lack of this was my continual trial
during my first few years in Japan. The work that we can report is but
little. May it be ours to know that our few and feeble efforts have not
been in vain."

The day-school for girls in Yokohama, under Miss Alexander's
charge, and Mrs. Hepburn's Japanese and foreign Bible-classes for
girls have given encouragement ; but no special reports of them have
been received.

The theological school, supported by the Scotch United Presbyte-
rian, Reformed Dutch, and Presbyterian missions, each represented by
one of its missionaries as a teacher, is considered an important part
of the missionary work in Tokio. Its report of last year enumerates
four students in the preparatory class, two in the first year's class, two
in the second, three in the third, two in the fourth, and six in special
studies — in all nineteen. The forming of the preparatory class ; the
question whether the studies should be conducted in English or as here-
tofore in the vernacular, which was answered by forming two courses
of studies, one in each language ; and the requirement of a certain
proficiency in secular studies, and for those in the English course a
certificate of graduation from an English school of recognized stand-
ing ; — subjects of no small moment, which were practically adopted
during the last year, will have a favorable effect on the usefulness of this
school, as it is expected by the three missions. A Japanese instructor
was employed in the regular school, and another temporarily in the
preparatory class. " During the year three students have completed
the course, and one has received ordination. One had to be dis-
missed .... and three had their names removed from the roll for
irregular attendance and failure to reach the minimum required in
recitati-ons and in class examinations." Besides Mr. Imbrie, who is con-
nected with this school as one of its three permanent instructors, Mr.
Knox, of our mission, gave valuable assistance in its duties.

In translating the Scriptures, Dr. Hepburn was occupied most of
his time, as he has been for several years ; this year his work was
chiefly on the Old Testament. " He has finished the book of Prov-
erbs," Mr. Thompson reports, " which has not been published yet.
He has also revised Mr. F.'s translation of First Samuel, and he is
now engaged on the book of Jeremiah, which he hopes to finish in
two or three months. Besides the above mentioned work he has
preached frequently and prescribed for the sick at his own house."
Mr. Thompson speaks of his own work of translating the Scriptures,
besides his work among the churches, preaching nearly every Sabbath,
and evangelizing tours ; he has " finished a translation of the book of
Genesis, and given it into the hands of the Revision Committee. This
translation was begun several years ago by a committee in Tokio, but
one after another withdrew until I was left alone to finish it."

No report has been received from Osaka, but no doubt good efforts
have been made in missionary labors at that station.

The general outlook in Japan is favorable to the spread of Chris-

tianity. While foreigners are not yet permitted to reside at any but
cities specified in certain treaties, no such restriction is imposed on
native Christian missionaries. They can live in the interior, after be-
ing trained at missionary stations in Tokio, Osaka, and elsewhere. It
is hoped that in the revision of treaties with foreign powers the prohi-
bition of foreign residence will be removed. In the meantime the
Government is steadily conducting its system of common-school and
normal-school education, and fostering professional learning, so that
the Japanese are already in a very diti'erent condition as to Western
knowledge from that of former years. Unhappily, skepticism, as a
reaction from the old beliefs, and the influence of irreligious persons
from Western countries, are serious obstacles in the way of the Gos-
pel. These the Gospel itself will overthrow. As a means to this
great end, our missionary agencies and the lives and examples of our
Christian men and women are invaluable. And to these will soon be
added large numbers of native missionaries and pastors. Before long
the truths of Holy Scripture, accompanied by the divine power of the
Holy Spirit, will, without doubt, lead the Japanese to become a Chris-
tian people. At present the Board should stand ready to enter any
and every new door that may be open for the work of missionaries.
It may even be expedient to send out more laborers to be getting
ready for the coming harvest. It may also be found that from these
Japanese islands, the country of Corea, for centuries in deep spiritual
darkness, but now apparently opening slowly to the influences of West-
ern nations, may best receive the messengers of the Gospel.

MISSIONS TO THE CHINESE IN THIS COUNTRY.

San Francisco : mission begun 1853 ; missionary laborers — Rev. Augrustas W.
Loomis, D.D., and his wife, and Kev. A, J. Kerr ; Miss Majjgie Culbertsou ; em-
ployed by the Oecideutul Ladies' Society Mission, Miss Culile and .Miss Baskin ;
three teachers in English ; two Chinese evangelists ; two other native helpers.

Oakland : mission begun 1877 ; missionary laborers — *Rev. Ira M. Condit and his
wife ; two teachers ; one native helper.

Sackamento and San Jose : two teachers ; two native assistants.

Portland, Oregon : one native assistant.

The Chinese mission in California has been subjected to various
changes during the past year, and yet is able to report the greatest
degree of prosperity that it has ever known. Rev. A. W. Loomis,
D.D., was obliged during the year to seek a temporary release from
his duties on account of ill-health. The Rev. I. M. Condit also after
several years of interrupted labor was granted a leave of absence
for the year. The fact that these absences were not contemporaneous,
and the arrival of the Rev. A. J. Kerr to reinforce the mission in
September prevented serious interruption of the work. Religious ser-
vices and the various schools have been maintained regularly and
with success.

* Now on leave of absence.

San Francisco.

The entrance of the San Francisco congregation into its new church
edifice (formerly the First Presbyterian Church), which had been pur-
chased by the Board for its accommodation, dated a new era in the
enlargement and encouraging aspects of the work in that city. The
Board was subjected to the heavy expense of % 1,038. 7 7 for the reno-
vation and adaptation of the church to its wants, it having been occu-
pied by the congregation of the First Church until October 13th.
The building will seat 640 people, " and the Chinese congrega-
tion," says Dr. Loomis, " has on every Sabbath since the occupation
been far better than our most sanguine expectations. Generally on
Sabbath morning we have a respectable, and you may say a large con-
gregation even for so large an audience room." The local church in
San Francisco now numbers about 160. The number added during the
year is 17, of whom 13 were received upon examination. A marked
feature of the religious life of this flourishing little church is its liberal-
ity. The contributions during the year have been as follows : For the
fitting up of the new church $777.45, of which $138.70 was sent in by
absent members. This last ir, an important fact as showing the genu-
ineness and permanency of the interest which these people cherish
toward the church. The contributions for the poor and sick were
$22.50; for current expenses $40; for a theological student at Canton
$ro ; monthly concert collections $144.95 ; total $987.90. In addition
to this various gifts have been sent to assist the congregation at Los
Angelos. The church has also pledged $8 per month or $96 per year
toward the support of one of its members now studying medicine
under Dr. Kerr in Canton, with a view of practicing in the various
communities in which the Chinese in California formerly resided.
This work of a church of 160 members, all of whom are men of
limited means, is perhaps without a parallel among all the churches of
our country ; and no better evidence could be given of the moral
earnestness which is inculcated in these people.

Two Sabbath-schools have been conducted in connection with the
church : one at midday and the other at 6 p.m. The night-schools
held during the week are invariably followed by religious services, and
throughout the exercises of the school, scriptural lessons, hymns, etc.,
are interspersed. In all respects the character of this and all the
other schools connected with the mission in California is thoroughly
religious. The Rev. Mr. Kerr, to whom reference has already been
made, is represented as having commenced his work most vigorously,
devoting special attention necessarily to the acquisition of the language.
He speaks with great enthusiasm of the work which opens up before
him, particularly in the direction of higher education for the sons of
Chinese merchants, and others of the better class. Of the new church
building, he says : " I consider the purchase of that property the best
thing that has yet been done for the Chinese here. It seats 640 per-
sons. On the 19th of November, when it was opened, scores of China-
men were unable to gain an entrance. Since that time the morning
congregations have averaged about 400 and the evening 200. In the

old chapel, the two together did not number 200. Our Sabbath-
schools have more than doubled in number. Chinatown is proud of
this church. It is one of the sights. It is always shown to the coun-
try (Chinese) cousins when they come to the city. Little knots of
men may be seen every day standing on the sidewalk reading the
tasteful Chinese sign that invites all to come."

Oakland.

The removal of Mr. Condit on leave of absence necessarily left this
station in a somewhat crippled condition, though Mr. Hyde for a time
occupied the mission house with his family, and had oversight of the
school. Upon his removal from Oakland after some weeks Mrs. E. T.
Stanley, secretary of the California Branch of the Women's Foreign
Missionary Society, occupied the house with her son, giving more or
less attention to the school. Until March ist four teachers were em-
ployed in the evening school, Miss Sarah Hayes, Miss Hill, and the
Misses Alger. Occasionally one of the missionaries from San Fran-
cisco has conducted Sabbath services in Oakland ; at other times
native teachers liave conducted worship. There has been an average
of 25 present in the morning and 50 in the evening. The evening-
school has averaged 50, and the Sabbath-school held in the First Pres-
byterian Church of Oakland about the same number. The present
membership of the church is 68. The baptisms during the year have
been eight. One of the teachers connected with the school has been
supported by a contribution of $18 per month from the First Presby-
terian Church. A part of the incidental expenses are paid by the
pupils. The Young Men's Christian Association of San Francisco
has a vigorous branch in Oakland. Two young men from this church
are studying theology at Cincinnati and Beaver Falls. The total
membership of this church as well as that of San Francisco is con-
stantly affected by the removal of young men to other localities, some
of whom had been the most active workers, though as a rule their
record subsequent to their removal is very favorable. During the
year the Board purchased a house for the mission at Oakland at an
expense of $2,700, one-half of the payment being deferred until an-
other year.

Sacratnento.

The work at Sacramento has been prosperous during the year.
Mrs. A. Johns and daughter are the teachers of the evening-school
and Mrs. Wilder superintendent of the Sabbath-school, She also visits
among the Chinese women, reporting this portion of her work to the
Women's Foreign Missionary Society at Philadelphia. The building
long occupied by the evening-school and the Young Men's Christian
Association was burned in September, but the school, finding other
quarters, has been maintained with little interruption. The average
attendance of the night-school on 5 evenings of the week is 30. The
young men connected with this station are said to be unusually intelli-
gent and reliable, and the services at present depend mostly upon

112 ANNUAL REPORT.

their direction and support. No native helpers are at present there
employed, though one or two men giving their whole time seem to be
necessary to the permanent growth of the work. Our missionaries
express their satisfaction at the untlagging interest taken by the Rev.
H. H. Rice, as well as by his congregation in this Chinese work and
particularly in the Chinese Sabbath-school conducted in his church.
Thirty-five Chinese have been received into his church membership,
1 6 of whom are reported as absent, having returned to China, or are
scattered through various parts of our own country.

San Jose.

At this center the mission work still lives, though not as vigorously
as could be desired, owing to the removal two years ago of some valu-
able men who returned to China or to the Sandwich Islands. The
mission has also suffered by the action of one or two contumacious
Chinamen. Mrs. Cary, who has so long been interested in this work,
has continued her efforts. In the evening-school on five evenings of
the week the average attendance is 20, the number enrolled each
month being 51. The baptisms during the year have been 4, total
number baptized during the last 11 years 29. One member of this
little church died during the summer in the triumphs of the Christian
faith. His brethren tenderly cared for him in his sickness and defrayed
all the expenses of his burial. A part of the expenses of the school
is defrayed by the pupils. Two or three friends in the community
have given important aid in the school.

Santa Clara.

Miss Hattie Lewis has given another year of self-denying and
gratuitous labor not without gratifying success. One of her pupils
was recently baptized and became connected with the church in San
Francisco. The Rev. James Newell, the pastor of the church in
Santa Clara, has ably seconded her work. Her school roll now num-
bers 49 names, the largest number at any one session being 15.

Napa.

Several visits have been made to this place by our native colporteur
Nam Art. The Rev. V. A. Lewis, who has temporarily supplied the
church, has. taken a very deep interest in this Chinese work, and
through his efforts, with those of his people, a permanent building,
costing $575, has been secured and deeded to the Board of Foreign
Missions. Of this amount the Chinese in that community subscribed
$100. The average attendance of the evening-school is 22, and the
Sabbath-school 30. Thirteen new members have been added, i j of
whom were received upon examination.

MISSIONS TO THE CHINESE IN THIS COUNTRY. II3

San/a Rosa.

The work at this station has been greatly advanced by the efficient
co-operation of the Rev. F. M. Dimmick. The little congregation
being left without a home by the sale of the property which they had
rented, it was provided with a new building at a cost of $1,026.55
from his own resources. The evening-school ranges from 14 to 23,
with a vigorous little Sabbath-school and a Young Men's Christian Asso-
ciation. Mrs. E. P. Wilson being obliged to leave her work as teacher
for a time, her place was filled by Mrs. McNab, assisted by Mrs. Dim-
mick and others. During the last year the whole number of scholars
increased from 20 to 40. The 6 Chinese who have been baptized at
this station since it was organized have all removed from the place ex-
cept one ; but favorable reports of them are received in their new
places of residence. Two faithful teachers in this school have recently
been called to their reward : Mr. Hubbell, who died in San Diego, and
Mr. Chamberlain, who died in Springfield, Mo. They are cherished in
the memory of their Chinese pupils.

San Rafael.

Work at this station has been fluctuating on account of frequent re-
movals, but this year, through the efforts of the native colporteur, Nam
Art, the work has been revived. Comfortable rooms have been se-
cured and furnished. Through the sympathy and effort of the Rev.
James S. McDonald the Sabbath-school has been opened in his
church, teachers volunteering for its maintenance. The largest
number in attendance is 22. The work is substantially aided by the
members of the Chinese Church in San Francisco and Oakland.

From San Diego and other places in Southern California calls are
made for the means of commencing a vigorous work among the
Chinese.

Los Angeles.

The mission property in this place was transferred by the Board
to the United Presbyterian Church, and a missionary of that Church
is now working there under its Home Board. There are, however,
a large number of Chinese who prefer to identify themselves with the
Presbyterian Church under the care of Rev. J. W. Ellis. They have
maintained services for their countrymen in the rooms of the Young
Men's Association and are now earnestly seeking for the means of
securing permanent quarters, while they persevere in looking to this
Board for assistance.

P'our native assistants were employed in San Francisco and Oakland
at the beginning of the year. Now there are but two, one having
gone into secular business for reasons which he deemed sufficient, and
another having returned to China.

In Portland, Oregon, the Board has employed a teacher of the
Chinese in connection with the church of Rev. Dr. Lindsley.

114 ANNUAL REPORT.

Work among Women.

The Women's Home is still the center of vigorous influence. It
has employed during the year various visitors who teach in the families,
and the Clay Street day-school, under their care, has been in full
operation. The Home and its inmates have been under the excellent
supervision of Mrs. Culbertson. One of the most attractive features
of the Sabbath services is the presence of a large and interesting
Chinese family, and the help they render in singing and preaching is
most valuable. (A piinted report of their work will soon be pub-
lished by the ladies.) The work among women has been kept up by
Mrs. Loomis in connection with her husband.

In closing the report upon the Chinese work in California the Board
can but express its great satisfaction at the fact that with only two
male missionaries yet acquainted with the language, and both of them
obliged to be absent more or less during the year on account of health,
so great a result has been accomplished. This is owing largely to the
volunteer services of many friends of the mission. It should be borne
in mind that in addition to direct spiritual work very heavy cares and
labors are laid upon our missionaries in California. The supervision
of so many outstations with their schools is onerous, and as the reports-
express it, " The agency department," which relates to the care of mis-
sionaries coming and going between this country and China, their
tickets, baggage, freight, etc., the purchase of supplies for those in the
field, together with a large correspondence with the Chinese in both
hemispheres, all this involves much care and consumes much time.
As to their direct work, the preaching services, the schools held every
evening and the apostolic visitation from house to house, together
with an occasional sermon in English to assist the brethren in need,
allow no leisure. Our conscientious missionaries find themselves
well-nigh overburdened with the greatness of their work. Of the new
church edifice formerly of the P'irst Presbyterian Church, now devoted
to the service of the Chinese, the mission report speaks enthusiastically.

SiaiisHcs.

These are imperfectly reported. So far as stated the total member-
ship of Chinese churches is 228. Many others won to Christ by the
native helpers are connected with the local American churches. There
are eight night-schools, and about tiie same number of Sabbath-schools.
Seventeen members have been added to the church in San Francisco ;
Oakland not reported. The San Francisco church has contributed
an aggregate of $987.90. The church in Napa gave $100 toward a
place of worship.

GUATEMALA MISSION. II5

GUATEMALA MISSION.

Gautemala, capital of the Republic of the same name ; mission begun in 1882 ;
laborers — Rev. John C. Hill and wife.

About the beginning of the present fiscal year the attention of the
Board was, for the second time, called to the great promise of the small
but vigorous Republic of Guatemala as a field for Protestant missions,
and assurances were given from reliable sources of the most cordial
sympathy with such a movement on the part of the President, General
Rufino Barrios. It was ascertained that as early as the year 1872 he
had issued a decree of entire religious liberty in the Republic, that the
Jesuits had been expelled for their intrigues, and that although not a
Protestant in any proper sense, the President would welcome the en-
lightenment of Protestant teaching.

It was ascertained, moreover, that in the total population of
1,500,000, while general advancement had begun in almost all other
directions, there was not a single Protestant service to be found. Evi-
dences were also given that in the capital city of 60,000 inhabitants,
there was a large element of Americans and Europeans, and that an
English service might soon be expected to become self-supporting.
Under the circumstances the Board resolved to enter the field, and ap-
pointed the Rev. John C. Hill and wife, late of Fayetteville, N. Y., as
its missionaries. During the summer President Barrios visited New
York, and in the interviews held with him by the officers of the Board,
all the previous statements as to his favorable disposition toward the
missionary operations were verified. It so happened that Mr. Hill, in
his journey from San Francisco to Guatemala, was a fellow-passenger
with the President and his staft", thus having an opportunity to learn
more fully the favorable attitude of the Government toward his work.
He has already established an English service in a building rented from
the President at a nominal price, and reports gratifying prospects in re-
gard to the sympathy and co-operation of the citizens. Many facts have
been learned in regard to the general character of the country, all of
which seem favorable to our mission. Mr. Hill describes the country
and climate as follows : " The country being very broken in its general
aspect, and the greater part of it being at an elevation of about 5,000
feet above the level of the sea, it may be said to be free from the usual
tropical diseases, so that the best insurance companies do not charge
any extra premium for residence here. Even on the coast the climate
is not so deadly as is generally supposed in the North. If foreigners
sicken and die on these coasts, it is not so much the climate as their want
of care of their health. The clin)ate here, in the capital of Guatetnala,
is practically the same all the year round, few people ever making any
change in their clothing. The weather at the beginning of January, in
the capital, is like a warm June in central New York, and in conse-
quence we can enjoy fresh vegetables at all seasons."

With respect to the religious condition of the country Mr. Rill
writes as follows :

Il6 ANNUAL REPORT.

"The power of the church is entirely broken, and the children are
being educated in Government schools, from which everything of a re-
ligious nature is rigidly excluded. Formerly all the educational inter-
ests of the country were in the hands of the priests, and ' education '
consisted largely in teaching the lives of the 'saints.' The result of
this system of education is seen in the fact that only about ten per cent.
of the entire population can read. In the capital the proportion is
fully twenty per cent.., which reduces somewhat the proportion for the
rest of the country.

" We have one daily paper, also five or six weeklies, and several
monthlies ; one of the latter is devoted to educational interests. The
press is continually opposing the pretensions of the Catholic Church,
and loses no chance to expose the vile character of the priests who are
occasionally discovered in some scandalous proceeding. Nothing, how-
ever, is done to supply the spiritual void which they make by destroy-
ing faith in the Catholic system. It is assumed that a purely secular
education is the only need of the country. ' The Gospel of culture '
is proclaimed as their salvation. Nothing is said against religion in
general. The fight is made with Catholicism as opposed to intellect-
ual progress. But in the minds of the people it is either Catholicism
or nothing. Most of them regard the Protestant denominations in the
same light as heathenism. The press not reaching the common peo-
ple on account of their illiteracy, the educated classes are drifting into
all forms of infidelity.

" The reforms already secured by the judicious administration are, I
believe, permanent ; it is impossible now for any reactionary movement
to succeed. It has v/ell-nigh silenced all oi)position.

"The inmiediate need of Guatemala is evangelization. The native
press will help on the preaching and reading of the Word. A desire is
expressed by many of the leading citizens to have a school established
in which English only will be used. The opportunities that would be
afforded by such a school with devoted Christian teachers for the
Christian training of children would be very great, by bringing the
Gospel into immediate contact with the upper classes. The President
has repeatedly urged the necessity of such a school as an adjunct to
the preaching.

" In addition to the schools for children of the school age, night
schools for adults are provided at many places in which instruction is
given in the ordinary branches. The advantages offered by these are
secured by as many as can be accommodated, indicating a desire for
an education. One generation more will produce a great change in
the intellectual condition of these people."

As to the present status and assuring prospects of the mission, Mr.
Hill states that services have been held for a time in private houses
with an increase from week to week until about forty were present.
By the last accounts, however, a committee of gentlemen was circu-
lating a subscription to provide for the furnishing of a chapel. Of the
building to be used as a chapel, Mr. Hill says: "I have rented a
house from the President within two squares of the center of the city
at a merely nominal price considering the size, style, and convenience.

PAPAL EUROPE. II7

It is the nev .st house in the city, and was built by President Barrios
for one of his sons. For the present we shall only occupy the upper
story, which will give us ample room for a chapel and a residence.
Owing to the peculiar way of constructing houses in Guatemala, it
would be impossible to rent a hall or room for a chapel without rent-
ing the whole house. The arrangements made are the most economi-
cal possible." With reference to the opening of a girls' school, Mr.
Hill says that the promised patronage from leading citizens, both En-
glish and natives, is such as to warrant the belief that within a year
and a half the school may be self-supporting. It is to be hoped that
the way will speedily be opened for the establishment of such an in-
stitution.

A general desire has been expressed by those high in influence for
the establishment of a high-school for both sexes, with the belief that
at no distant day it will become entirely self-supporting. It is need-
less to say that the chief work contemplated by the Board is one which
concerns the Spanish-speaking population, but it has been thought
wise first to secure, as far as possible, whatever elements of Protestant
strength or support may be found among the English-speaking popula-
tion.

PAPAL EUROPE.

Much sorrow is expressed in letters received from the Rev. Matteo
Prochet, of the Waldensian Church, at the great loss suffered by the
cause of missions in Europe and throughout the world in the death of
the most liberal supporters of evangelical work in this country, refer-
ence being had particularly to the decease of Messrs. R. L. Stuart and
William E. Dodge, recently added to that of James Lenox, John Aitken,
and other well-known friends of the Waldensian cause. " I send you
a printed report," says Mr. Prochet, "and wish that you would glance
at it, if only to satisfy you that your efforts of last year have been blest
of the Lord, and have resulted in glory to His holy name. Our financial
position may be said to be bad, yet not from reckless expenditure or
from diminution in the contributions of our churches. It comes sim-
ply from the enlargement of our work in answer to the manifest calls
of Providence. At the same time there has been a remarkable modi-
fication in exchange, which will raise the value of Italian paper money
to a par with gold. The loss to the mission practically by this means
is about ten per cent., as the remittances received have but ninety per
cent, of their former purchasmg power. The result is a deficit of about
$5,000 in the treasury, and at the same time there must be an increase
of $3,000 in order to realize the same practical values that were for-
merly received." The following table of statistics is presented in Mr.
Prochet' s report as showing the relative growth of the Protestant cause
in Italy.

It is scarcely invidious to say that the growth of the Waldensian
Church has exceeded that of all other Protestant churches in Italy, so
far as reported, the total increase in the five years being 891. But per-
haps the most significant of all, as showing growth and vigor, is the
fact that while the Waldensian congregations in 187 1 contributed only
$2,020, they gave in 1883 $10,130, or more than five-fold.

Pastor Lorriaux, of the Central Protestant Evangelization Society of
France, closes a report in which he gives many interesting details of
work at the various French stations, as follows :

" It is a most striking feature of the present situation — in the pro-
portion as we need workers for the ancient work as well as for the new
stations, the number of vocations for the ministry increase — and at the
present hour, our preparatory school as well as owx facitlt'es de theologie
have a larger number of students than they have had for the last
twenty-five years.

"What we want is to show you the facts as if you witnessed them.
We do reckon on our American brethren's help and sympathy.
Several new stations have come to life through your Christian assist-
ance. Do remember your young children on this side of the Atlantic.
Believe me, dear and reverend brother."

PROPOSED TRANSFER OF INDIAN MISSIONS.

SPECIAL REPORT TO THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY.

The Board of Foreign Missions would respectfully make the follow-
ing report to the General Assembly concerning the reference on page
105 of the Minutes, 1882, in regard to the transfer of missions in the
Indian Territory :

No joint action on the subject has been taken by the two Boards. As
ihey are but committees appointed by the Assembly, each for its own
work, it would seem that any great change in this work should be
ordered by the Assembly itself; and to its decision both Boards would,
of course, cheerfully submit.

In rejiorting the case to the Assembly, the Board would state, that
three missions are under its care in the Indian Territory — among the
Creeks, Seminoles, and Choctaws. They were begun in 1842, 1846,
and 1848, respectively ; broken up in the war ; resumed in 1866 ; ex-
cepting the last, which was under the care of the Southern Presbyte-
rian Church for some years, but in 1881 its principal school was again
placed in the charge of the Board. In each mission a boarding school
is maintained, which is supjjorted in jjart by the Council of the tribe,
and is the principal school in each nation. For all of these schools
written or oral contracts exist between the Councils respectively and
the Board. It would seem to be inexpedient to make any change in
the charge of these schools. They are highly prized by the Indians, are
doing well, and are full of promise. Other kinds of missionary work,
moreover, are closely connected with them, which would also receive
injury, as it is believed, from the transfer — especially the training of
native licentiate preachers and others preparing for the ministry. So
far as the Board is aware its work in the Indian Territory has the
approval of the missionaries and the confidence of the Indians ; the
latter is of slow growth among them, and is of no little moment. So
far as the Board is informed, neither the missionaries nor the Indians
themselves desire this transfer. Many of our Christian people, also,
have for many years felt themselves identified with the Board in this
work, by their sympathies, gifts, and prayers. The transfer would lead
to their withdrawing from their connection with the Board in tlie sup-
port of these missions, and thereby, in all i)robability, would lesson
their interest in its general work — a result to be contemplated only
with solicitude.

The Board would further respectfully recall to the recollection of
the Assembly, the fact that its work for these Indians, as well as for
other tribes of Indians, is founded on the same principles that have
been recognized and approved by our Christian people ever since our
Church entered on the work of foreign missions. As heathens, the
Indians were, and are still to a considerable extent in these tribes and
to a large extent in other tribes, foreign in language, manner of .life,
and religious or rather superstitious belief; and they are to be evan-

gelized like the heathens of other countries. Hence the methods and
means of their conversion must be those usual among heathen people.
It is doubtful whether recent changes in their circumstances should
lead to any change in missionary plans for their benefit. They are
now brought out from their seclusion in some measure by the railroads
and tl)eir closer contact with white people on the frontiers, but the
Church may well fear that this will not hasten the day of their conver-
sion. The old way is still the best way, as the experience of the sev-
eral churches seems to prove. Certain it is that the old line of mis-
sionary policy and procedure has achieved noble results heretofore;
and it may be expected, if not interrupted, to complete the transforma-
tion of the Indians from heathenisu) to Christianity and civilization.

The Board would close this report by referring to its Annual Report
to the General Asseinbl)', for information in detail concerning the
missions to be affected by the i)roposed transfer.

The report of the Board of Foreign Missions was presented to the
General Assembly, Saratoga, New York, on Friday, May i8, and re-
ferred to the Standing Committee consisting of — Ministers : Rev. Mar-
vin R. Vincent, D.D., Joseph F. Dripps, Dunlop Moore, D.D., William
Bannard, D.D., William J. Harsha, Charles R. Mills, Joseph P. Gra-
ham, Ennals J. Adams. Elders : Messrs. George H. Shields, Edward
W^ells, John C. Gallup, M.D., Albert S. Hall, J. Guy McCandlass,
Theodore S. Hubbard, John R. Entrekin.

This Committee reported on Wednesday, May 23d. After an
encouraging survey of the whole field, with a notice of the press-
ing and immediate wants of the same, it recommended the approval of
the Minutes of the Board, and the adoption of the following resolu-
tions, which were done :

Resolved, i. That the work of Foreign Missions heis rightful claim upon the affection,
the conscience, the means, and the energy of our Church — a claim based upon the com-
mand of our Saviour Christ, and upon the love which is the fruit of His Spirit.

2. That the appeal of the Board for the sum of $700,000 for the work of the next year
should receive the cheerful response of the Church to the measure of the full amount.

3. That pastors be urged to present this cause statedly to their congregations, to f ress
its sacred claims, and to employ all means by which the people may be informed of the
character, methods, and needs of the Foreign Missionary work.

4. That the Assembly commend this cause with special emphasis to the parents and
Sabbath-school teachers of our Church with a view to engendering early in the Church's
children a sense of its claims, and an interest in its results, as well as a habit of system-
atic giving.

5. That we commend the Foreign Missionary anew to the attention of pastors, and
urge that special efforts be made to increase its circulation in the churches.

6. That we recognize the strong and tender claim which this cause has upon the sympa-
thy and co-operation of our Christian women ; that we are grateful to God for the in-
spiration which has led to their organized effort on its behalf, and has crowned that effort
with such signal success. That we commend the work of the Woman's Board to the
attention and sympathy of our pastors, and approve the formation of Woman's Mission-
ary Societies in the several congregations.

7. That Rev. Wm. M. Paxton, D.D., and John D. Wells, D.D., and elders Robert
Carter, Wm. A. Booth, and Ezra M. Kingsley, whose term of office expires, be re-elected
members of the Board, and that Rev. M. R. Vincent, D.D., be elected to fill the vacancy
caused by the death of Wm. E. Dodge.

APPENDIX. 179

Woman's Boards.

The following abstracts of the various Woman's Societies reveal the
hold they are taking upon a large portion of the membership of our
Church and the steady progress they are making in interesting others
in the missionary work. The summary of receipts tells the steady prog-
ress that has been made year by year, while that for the past twelve
months shows a continued and steady advance. The removal by death
of Mrs. Julia M. Graham, of New York, takes away from the Ladies'
Board not only an indefatigable laborer and devoted friend, but also
one of the pioneers and most earnest promoters of the woman's foreign
missionary work. " Though resting from her labors she will continue
to live in their fruits."

No report of its operations has been received from the Board of the
Southwest.

Abstract of the Thirteenth Annual Report of the Woman's Foreign Mission-
ary Society of the Presbyterian Church, Philadelphia, Pa.

Our thirteenth year has been signalized by growth at both ends of
the line.

The Society has been incorporated. Sixty-three new societies have
been added to the roll, making 1,229 in all. 'I'his addition represents
much earnest effort, because most of the larger, stronger churches were
organized in previous years. The number of Rands is 873. of which 115
have been formed during the year. A number of Sabbatli-schools are
included, affording opportunity to educate the young men and boys in
the work.

While the fifty Presbyterial Societies, of which two are of the past
year's growth, rei)ort most favorably, we realize that their strength de-
pends upon the auxiliaries standing, like ancient Gideon's band, each
one in its own place.

The circulation of the magazine, Woman's Work for Woman, has
reached 10,000; ihdii oi Children' s Work, 12,500. A subscription list
of 20,000 for the latter must be obtained, to make it self-supporting.

Eight new Leaflets have been issued, and 45,000 sold. The Foreign
Missionary Catechism and the Book of Exercises for Mission Bands
have proved to be real helps. The mite-boxes have been "Treasure
houses" indeed. During the meetings of the Pan-Presbyterian Coun-
cil in Philadelphia, a Standing Committee on Correspondence was ap-
pointed. This Committee is now in communication with twenty-four
Woman's Missionary Societies in foreign countries, and twenty-three
in the United States.

The receipts of the year were $12 [,186.40, making, with a balance
of $4,000 (medical fund), at the beginning of the year, $125,186.40.
Of this amount, $112,696.93 was paid in to the Treasurer of the Board
of Foreign Missions. Of the remainder, $3,060 was sent directly to
the mission fields for buildings and other specific objects. The balance
met the expenses of the medical students, traveling expenses and serv-
ices of returned missionaries, printing, and other current expenses of

l80 APPENDIX.

the Societ)'. l5,6oo, a fund for medical missions, is held by the
Treasurer.

Twelve missionaries have been added to our list ; our support and
loving sympathy are pledged to 117 of these faithful workers. We
have lost five; one by death, Mrs. Charity Menkle, of Benita, Africa.
Three have returned home, and one married out of our mission.

Eight missionary teachers continue, as heretofore, to aid the mission,
sent from this country, in Africa and India.

T31 Bible-readers and native teachers render efficient assistance.
We have under our care 127 day-schools, and 466 scholarships. We
have now three students in the Woman's Medical College of Pennsyl-
vania, and hope sincerely that we may this year secure three times
that number of educated, strong, consecrated young women ready to
enter the doors wide open for their healing ministrations.

While there have been few new auxiliaries reported to us, our re-
ceipts show an increase of nearly $9,000 on those of the preceding
year ; but in the language of the Jedaideh women, in pleading for a
school building, " We long for more and more names to be written in
God's book of loans," realizing that this is God's way of working, it is
"God's work in human hands."

Woman's Presbyterian Board of Missions of the Northwest.

The twelfth annual meeting was held in Detroit, Mich., and the
review of work seemed full of encouragement, as regarded from last
year's stand-point. But the crying needs of the world, and the ample
means of our Church for all demands, compared with reports of work
done, caused us to mention progress with trembling.

The changes made in the limits of the Synods have not interfered
with our work, as most of the States in this section have never em-
braced more than one. In the 57 Presbyterial Societies, included in
9 Synods, we have 1,284 Societies. The serious question arises, how
shall we ever enlist the 900 uninterested churches on the frontier, if
the pastors become absorbed in " too much home work " ? We must
interest the Seminary teachers, so that out of every 60 graduates there
may be more than one volunteer for Foreign Missionary work.

We are supporting 45 missionaries, including 3 now in this country.
We have equipped and sent out 10 new teachers, all of whom are now
in their stations ; and one going to Africa learned the new language
on shipboard, so as to speak well on landing.

Although the circulation of the magazines has increased, it is not
yet as general as it should be, if our ladies expect to ever become ac-
quainted with the work and proceed intelligently. Duty must be
learned and done cheerfully.

The work among the Indians has undergone some changes and
more are under consider? tion ; but we shall hold on to all the teach-
ers, in some location.

We are publishing in the Benga tongue, which is the language of
millions in Africa, three books: "The Second Reader," "Peep of
Day," and "Come to Jesus."

APPENDIX. l8l

In India we have 9 missionaries, who have in charge 19 schools, 15
teachers and Bible women, and we are to have scholarships in the
schools to be opened for boys in Lodiana.

At five different stations in China we have 10 missionaries. The
work here is exceedingly promising, and a perusal of the Annual Re-
port will repay the reader.

A new feature has developed in our Society, and we have under
appointment a young lady as Medical Missionary for Japan.

What is the outlook for the coming year ?

Three ladies whose support has just been assumed ; one teacher for
Japan, three for China, four for India, two for Mexico, and two for
Syria. This would place 62 missionaries on our list for our support.

We also need funds for a building in Osaka, Jaj^an, and to com-
plete the school building in Tabriz, Persia, besides for schools and other
objects.

This means more giving into the treasury of the Lord, more con
secration, more of the vitalizing power of prayer from the women en-
gaged in this cause.

The contributions of the Board amounted to $55,858.37, including
a balance of last year of $809. 17, making an increase of nearly $6,000
for the year.

Shall we allow the work to grow beyond our means, or shall we
give liberally, and make the Bible aggressive ? .

Abstract of Thirteenth Annual Report of the Ladies' Board of Missions,

New York.

Our foreign work during the year has been signally prosperous. We
have added five new workers to our list, and now support thirty-two
missionaries, besides twenty-two native teachers and Bible-readers, who
are laboring in seven different countries.

We are interested in twenty-one schools, most of which we support
entire, in others we have scholarships. The seminary at Beirut, Syria,
and the school at Tripoli have increased in numbers, and have gained
in receipts for board and tuition. Our new station at Hamadun, Per-
sia, shows signs of vigor and growth which are surprising. One of our
new recruits is laboring there, and we hope to send a second one this
summer to the same field.

Mrs. Cochran's appeal for the endowment of hospital beds, has met
with a hearty response, and we can report the desired number as nearly
complete.

In India, at Mynpurie and Lodiana, several new schools have been
added to our roll, and the plea comes from our missionaries, " Send
us two more teachers, we must have themy

The addition to Graham Seminary, Tokio, Japan, has been built
within the year, and is a material improvement. This seminary is
destined to be a power for good in the land, and its influence is already
far-reaching.

Many letters have come to us from our friends in China and Siam,

l82 APPENDIX.

bringing good cheer and hopeful tidings. Converts are multiplying,
and the Gospel is gaining upon the idolatry and superstition of the
people.

Africa is not behind in the glad story, and a light above the bright-
ness of the sun is breaking through the heavy clouds which have hither-
to enveloped that land.

In Mexico, at Ozuniba and Toluca, we have assumed the care of
two schools, both prosperous and influential.

Our receipts for the year have been $24,273.

For full details of our work, list of nussionaiies, helpers, etc., we re-
fer our friends to the published Annual Report of our Society.

The Woman's Foreign Missionary Societies of Albany and Troy

have in the field seven missionaries, eighteen teachers and Bible-read-
ers, fifty-one scholarships ; at home the number of auxiliary Societies
and Bands is 141.

Miscellaneous work of the Society was carried on in schools at
Teheran, Chefoo, Gaboon, and in Syria. The general work in Syria
has been under the care of Miss Bird; in Africa, under Miss Nassau,
Mrs. Bushnell, and Rev. Mr. DeHeer. Boxes and packages have been
sent to Siam, Africa, India, Persia, Syria, Smyrna, and Mt. Lebanon
Home.

Total receii^ts for the year : Troy Branch, $2,731.07 ; Albany
Branch $5,068.75, and collection at Hudson, $82,20 — $7,882.02.

An Abstract of Eeport of W. M. S. of Brooklyn.

The amount of money raised is $4,280.77; disbursements for For-
eign Missions, $2,088.50. We have assumed the support of Mrs. Mc-
Laren in Bangkok ; Miss Reade in Tokio, Japan ; while we continue
the support of two native teachers in girls' school in Tripoli ; aid in
support of school in the Gaboon Mission, Africa; in San Paulo, Brazil,
and in Mexico City. We number eighteen auxiliaries and eight Mis-
sion Bands. We note with gratitude a deepening interest on the
island in missionary work, and the parent Society is receiving fresh
accessions of strength and influence — we hope to the g/orj of God.

SIXTY-FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT.

The Board of Education lierewith respectfully presents to the Gene-
ral Assembly its sixty-fourth Annual Report, and it does so in cir-
cumstances that move to special thank^^givinjjc and praise. The year
has been a prosperous one in every re.-pect, and attendance at meetings
has been generally full. All pecuniary obligations have been prompt-
ly met ^yithout the borrowing of a dolhir, and an ample surplus remains
in the Treasury. The Permanent Fund also has been increased by the
addition of $10,000 derived from a single legacy. Early in the year,
indeed, the Board lost, with much regret, a valued member of its
body, who also was its honored President, by the removal of Rev. B.
L. Agnew, D.D,, to Pittsburgh ; but his office was filled by the elec-
tion of Rev. J. F. Dripps, while the Rev. R. M. Patterson, D.D.,
was chosen Vice-President. To complete the membership, the Rev\
N. S. McFetridge, D.D., was elected for the remainder of the term
1881-4, subject to the approval of the Assembly.

Governed by a proper caution, the Board, at its first meeting in Sep-
tember, voted to keep the scholarships at the amount fixed upon last
year ; but, in January, such was the appearance of the Treasury that
it ventured upon an increase — putting those for students in College and
Seminary at $120 each, and those for tiie Preparatory Department at
f 100 each. And this is what all have received, save the few who
asked for less amounts, or who were taken under care in the latter
part of the year. The advance thus made was much needed, and M-as
gratefully accepted. Yet all evidence goes to show that it should be
the aim of the Church to enable the Board to i:)ut its scholarships at
the maximum allowed by the rules. This is none too large w'hen the
steadily increasing expense of the education is considered ; and it is
earnestly hoped that the Board will have the means to grant it next
year.

CANDIDATES AIDED.

The candidates aided under care of the Board numbered in all 486,
an advance nt' l(j upon the nuinl)er last reported. They are distributed
alonu three courses of study as follows : In the Preparatory Department,
81 ; in College, 221 ; in the Theological Seminary, 184. Of these, 35

lu the course of the year two candidates were dropped for marry-
ing; one for misrepresentations of himself, discovered after one quar-
ter's payment ; one for turning aside to secular pursuits ; one for
lack of means to go on Mith his studies ; and one because dropped
from his class by the Biddle University for incompetency — six in
all. But of these only four can be regarded as foilures, and this may
be considered a small number in comparison with tliose who bid fair

486
Candidates in connection with the Board complete their studies at
various Theological Seminaries as folloM's: — Western, 12; Princeton,
11; Union, 7; Auburn, 5; Lane, 5; Danville, 4; Northwestern, 4;
Howard University, 3; Newark, German, 2; Biddle University, 1 ;
Hartford Seminary, 1 ; Lincoln, 1.

From the above account it will be seen that the number of candidates
in the Preparatory Department is unusually large, and this increase has
come mostly from those of our own race and country.. But it has
not been made without much care and inquiry into the worth and
needs of the persons aided. Many who applied for scholarships were
refused, not showing any special reason for being treated as excep-
tional cases ; and those who were received have, in every instance,
been strongly recommended. Several of these were sons of minis-
ters or missionaries, who had been early consecrated to the service
of the Gospel, and vv^ere entering upon their studies while yet too
young for self-support. An additional reason for these exceptions was
this: — The schools and Academics where students can be iitted for
College are few, and ofteii far tiway from the residences of the candi-
dates. At the West they are frecjuently attached to the Colleges as
Preparatoiy Departments, and arc attended at an expense no less
costly than that of the advanced course. . Hence, aid is as much
needed ordinarily by a student when fitting for College as when at
College. And where the promise of usefulness is briglit, and the
circumstances are such as to guarantee continuance and success in the
line of study, it seems the part of .sound policy to .secure the best
results by a little aid at the lieginuing, when it is really needed. Lack

of thorough trainiug in the first stages of education is apt to be felt
all through the course, and is seldom effectually remedied by any
after efforts. Xo good economy, therefore, is it to withhold assist-
ance at the critical period, and run the risk of spoiling promised ex-
cellence. Besides, it is well known that in getting a load under way
the hardest pull is at the start. Only let a momentum be once gained
and the after-progress is easy. Indeed, the momentum gained will
often ensure a reaching of the goal by its own force. Hence, one
would say that it was common sense to grant assistance when the
pressure was the heaviest, jyovided the load to be moved promised to
pay for the expense. So the Board has acted, being at the same time
particularly careful about the proviso. This fact it will be well for
Presbyterial Committees on Education to bear in mind, and to accom-
pany all recommendations of students in the Preparatory Course with
A full detail of circumstances, which shall justify their acceptance as
•exceptional cases.

CONTRIBUTIONS.

The sum total of the Board's receipts for the present year exceeds
that of the previous one by §9,474 25. This does not include a
legacy of $10,000, which, according to the suggestion of the Assem-
bly of 1882, has been added to the Permanent Fund. Such an advance
is exceedingly gratifying. Among the sums contributed, it should be
specially noted, were several that were the refunding of scholarships
by those in service \vho had enjoyed the benefit of them, amounting
in all to §2,058 46 ; and in one instance, to her great honor be it told,
the widow of a minister who had just closed a life of faithful labor,
after sending to ascertain how much her husband had received in the
•course of his education, forwarded us the whole amount, $300, as a
grateful testimonial of the benefit which had been conferred on him.
Several contributions have teen made also by friends known and un-
known, in response to appeals published in the Record for students of
special worth, who needed more than the Board could give. These
are pleasant facts, which indicate that the Record is read, and that
the Board is rising in popular favor, and is believed to be performing
a work most important for the advancement of the Church.

But notwithstanding these encouraging indications there is evident
room for improvement. The Board has not yet been able to put the

scholarships at the maximum allowed Ijy its rules. Aiul it will not
be satisfied, uor ought the Church to be content, until this is done.
And this could be easily done if only all our churches would lay to
heart their obligations to this cause and see how their own best inter-
ests are involved in it, and contribute accordingly. But many fail us.
Out of 5,744 churches on our list, more than half (3,299) have sent
us nothing. Of these, it must be said a large proportion are marked
vacant, and not a few of these are in a feeble, torpid state. Besides,
there are some who may be excused on the ground that they are sustain-
ing candidates of their own. Yet there are too many which ought to
contribute to this cause that do not, owing, it is to be feared, to the
fault of pastors mIio neglect to press its claims, or entirely pass them
by. And of these churches the Board would respectfully and ear-
nestly ask, what ground they have to expect good pastors for them-
selves when their pulpits shall become vacant, if they take no part in
the work of providing a ministry, either by contribution of funds or
the consecration of sons. Such neglect is not only a wrong to the
■whole Church, but it is also bad policy in view of the personal inter-
ests involved. The M^ork of furnishing a suitable and efficient min-
istry is no light task. It costs something, and there is no propriety
in a church's accepting a benefit wholly at others' expense w'hen it is
able to help towards its supply.

IMPORTANT STATISTICS.

An examination of the catalogues of our Theological Seminaries
reveals the following facts. The Seminaries referred to are those of
Princeton, Union, Western, Auburn, Lane, Northwest, and Danville.
We take these Seminaries because these are the only ones that have sent
us catalogues covering the period selected, and they furnish a fair
basis for the purpose proposed, which is to show the rate at which
our Church has been supi^lying ministers annually for the last seven
years. We give the sum total of the students that have been attend-
ing in the three classes of these Seminaries year by year: — 187G-7,
483; 1877-8, 452; 1878-9, 443; 1879-80, 432; 1880-1, 425;
1881-2, 429 ; 1882-3, 411.

In this series it will be observed that with the exception of a slight
reaction in 1881-2 the decline has been steady, making a difference
from first to last of 72. This is somewhat alarming. The average

9

of supplies thus offered us from these, our niaiu sources, is only 127
per year. Let this be set over against the 98 who are reported as de-
ceased the last year, and the 28 dismissed to other denominations —
116 in all — and it does little more than fill the vacancies thus created.
The number that can be counted on from other sources in addition is
very small. Our main reliance for a surplus must be from other
denominations, and of these, 58 were reported last year — 2 less than
double the number we dismissed. Meanwhile, the net increase of our
churches for the last seven years has been 667 — that is an average of
95 per year. According to all fair calculations, these Seminaries ought
to graduate every year not less than 225 candidates. If fit to preach,
they could all find employment at once.

Furthermore, M'hen we consider the outlook for the future the indi-
cations are by no means cheering. The number of students in our
various Colleges who are contemplating the ministry is reported to be
ominously small. At the Annual Meeting, held in Union Theologi-
cal Seminary on the Day of Prayer for Literary Institutions, it was
stated, as the result of information carefully collected from all parts
of the field, that "no inprovement n})on the falling record of recent
years could be perceived. The probability was that the next four
years at least would show an increasing scarcity of ministers." At a
similar meeting held on the same day at Princeton, a like conclusion
w^as reached. A letter from that place says : — " From the general
reports obtained from the Colleges as to the number of candidates for
the ministry in them, it is evident that those who control our Colleges
should see to it that the claims of the Gospel ministry be urged upon
those who profess a willingness to do the Lord's work, and yet are
drifting away from duty." These testimonies accord perfectly with
the facts and conclusions which present themselves to the Board. It
becomes the Church to look them fairly in the face. They are too
serious to be blinked. There is no subject which calls for more
earnest discussion, and which ought more to occupy the time and
attention of the General Assembly at its impending session, than that
which they present. The steadily increasing number of our vacant
churches, amounting to over a thousand, according to the Minutes of
the last Assembly, and the unanswered calls for more men by our
Mission Boards, urge upon our ecclesiastical bodies the duty of adopt-
ing vigorous measures for inquiring into, and if possible, removing

10

the obstacles whicli hiiuler tlie ])njpei' supplies for the ministry and
for facilitating their increase. That obstacles exist is but too evident.
AVhat they are it is hardly the province of the Board to state. It is
rather for the Assembly to search them out, and to call the attention
of the churches to them, and if possible, also to prescribe the means
for their abatement. Unless this is done, and done speedily, there is
danger that the normal development of our Church will be impeded,
and that the best interests of the country and the cause of the Gospel
will suffer detriment. An obligation is put on us to commit the
things which we have heard and received of Christ to faithful men
■who shall be able to teach others also. This obligation it devolves on
the Church to fulfill, according to the measure of its ability. The
men cannot be had unless they are prayed for, and sought for, and
properly trained. And to this business must the Church address
itself with an earnestness and zeal proportioned to the demand.

In view of the many communications made to the Board from
various quarters of the Church, it would respectfully suggest the
question whether the use of tobacco in any and every form by the stu-
dents under its care ought not to be explicitly prohibited as an un-
warrantable extravagance.

The Board has given careful consideration to the recommendation
of the last General Assembly, ''That the Board of Education invest
the Permanent Funds in its charge, amounting to §43,950, in schol-
arships, yielding each $200 a year, with the design of increasing them
to S250 as soon as practicable; these scholarships to be given to
students whose grade of scholarship is high, and who do not receive
aid from any other source."

The Board is always desirous of carrying into execution the recom-
mendations of the General Asseml^ly, but, in this instance, it has
found serious difficulties and objections in the way. Indeed, it is, as
a matter of legal bearing, a very serious question, whether it is com-
petent for the Board to make any such use of the funds which have
been placed in its charge for its general work as is contemplated in
the recommendation. Aside from this view of the matter, however,
it seems to the Board doubtful whether it would not injuriously affect
its position and claims in the estimation of many of its friends. At
present, and until the contributions from the Church shall justify a
considerable increase in the amounts which can be paid to students

11

under the care of the Board, the income accruhig from invested funds
■will be needed to supplement the annual contributions. It is the de-
sire and aim of the Board to enlarge the appropriations to meritorious
and needy candidates for the ministry as soon as possible to such an
amount as will confer all the assistance requisite without encouraging
extravagance, or removing a healthy stimulus to self help. This
point has not been reached as yet, nor does it seem to be close at
hand.

In the judgment of the Board, tlierefore, it would, in any view of
the case, be premature to tie up its Permanent Funds at the present
time in the manner recommended. Whether it would even be advis-
able to put these funds into such a fixed and unalterable form would
seem to be a question of grave importance.

In view of the foregoing considerations, and with all deference to
the wisdom of the General Assembly, the Board does not see its way
clear to adopt the recommendations referred to.

APPENDIX.

ACTION OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY.

The Standint; Committee of the Assembly on Education consisted of
the following persons : —

Miniiters. Elders.

Hervfa' D. Ganse, Homer N. Hibbard,

Ben.i. F. Bittinger, James Cruikshaxk,

Thomas Murphy, Stanton Cady,

James Y. Mitchelj., Walter L. Rankin,

Edward G. Thurber, Horace B. Silliman,

\Vm. W. Williams, David H. Huntting,

William Bishop, Archibald S. Voris.

Solomon C. McElroy.
The Committee presented on Friday, May 25th, through its Chair-
man, Rev. Dr. Hervey D. Ganse, of St. Louis, the following report,
which was accepted, and after discussion was adopted : —

The Standing Committe on Education respectfully report: —
Our Church has good reason to be encouraged and thankful over the
present aspect of her work of " Education."

First ot all the Board has met all the demands of the past year and
has a small balance in the treasury. This proves that the gifts of the
Church to this cause have materially increased, the fact being that they
are by more than nine thousand dollars — nearly fifteen per cent. — larger
than they were the year before. At the same time the permanent fund
has, by a single legacy made an increase of $10,000.

The larger income of the year has been distributed among the candi-
dates in addition to the scholarships; which, however, are still too low.
The Church will sympathize with the Board's desire to raise them to a
maximum of $150 a year. A result which can easily be reached. If
the growing interest in this cause shall only extend to all the congrega-
tions that are well able to aid it our Board of Education will be lifted
out of its long struggle into the c >mplete efficiency which its work de-
serves. Your Committee recommend the following: —

Resolved, That the General Assembly earnestly wishes for further in-
crease of the income of the Board of Education, and asks some contri-
bution from every Church.

Another matter of joy is the increase, however small, of the number
of candidates availing themselves of the Board's assistance; for we
assume that that increase has been made only under prudent and con-
scientious recommendations by the Presbytery.

33

It is to be noticed, however, that arguments which claim to rest on
principle continue to be urged, in speech and print, against the whole
policy of furnishing to students for the ministry, a kind of help not
ottered to students iu law and medicine. Such assistance is said to de-
moralize its recipient and to degrade the office to which it brings him.
And if the ministry were a mere profession, this would be true. But if
it be a work of Christian love which resigns the remuneration of a pro-
fession for the opportunities of Christian service, the objection is empty.
The love for Christ, in a thousand different hearts, acts under one obli-
gation, and with one aim — the glory of C'hrist and the triumph of His
cause. If one man has talent to aim with and no money, and other men
have the money which the talent needs, these two things are obliged to
come together and help each other. It is the case of the head needing
the feet and the feet are criminal if they refuse the service. Kxactiy
this has been the principle on which Christian gifts have for so many
centuries been flowing together in endowment of Christian schools.
When John Howard set the American example of such giving he as-
sumed one thing, and this Assembly in its great movement for educa-
tional endowments assumes the very same ; that disposition toward the
learning, especially toward the learning requisite for preaching, is to be
developed and helped. Otherwise the young minds would be left to
seek knowledge wherever they could find it. But the knowledge is con-
creted into colleges and seminaries so that the student can find it in
bulk. And money does that. Gifts of money support the professor
while he teaches and the president while he administers ; and not at all
that the one or the other may be supported, or that abstract learning
may be secure of a venerable seat; but just for this: that learning and
the young soul which is to use it may come together. And whenever
any young soul is doing its very best to effect that meeting, and for Christ's
sake, the Christian money that helps him up the hill no more stigmatizes
him than does Christian endowment money stigmatize the temple toward
which he climbs, or the college officer, who iu cap and gown beckons
him up. It ought to be understood that nothing but a worldly or natur-
alistic misreading of the motive and function of the Christian ministry
can obscure the wisdom and beauty of that sympathy which brightens a
young man's way into the ministry as the angels brightened Christ's
when they saw Him lonely and hungry and "came and ministered unto
Him."

This fundamental principle more than vindicates the Board in increas-
ing the proportion of what they call " exceptional cases ;" that is, of
cases aided from the beginning of preparatory study. After a young
man has gained some learning and some skill in studying, he may per-
haps do something toward self-support. But his first untrained grapple
with learning requires all his powers; and the Committee commend the
judgment of the Board, that, if he is worth helping, it is good to help
him then.

It is an important question whether the amount of aid ought to be
varied by grades of scholarship. It is plain that the candidate whose
standing proves him to be indolent or incompetent is to get no aid. But

34

among thoroughly worthy men some will be better scholars than others.
Ought the Church, through the Board of Education, to put a premium
in money upon superiority thus shown ? There s«'em to be good i-easons
for answering, no. Fair grading among students in difterent institutions
is impossible, as the Board have said. But even presenting fair grad-
ing in scholarship would by no means be fair grading in the aggregate
of (pKilities which the Church and her Master most demand in the Chris-
tian ministry. The most precious elements in that aggregate can not be
graded in advance of work, except by God only. Besides, such dis-
tinction between picked men and the average men, if recognized and
proclaimed by the Church herself, and afterward carried by the two
classes before the Presbyteries and the Churches, could not but have un-
wholesome effect upon both parties. Comparisons between men are sure
to be made by the public, and soon enough ; and the men of the brightest
parts will get all the advantages that is due to them. The Church's duty
through this Board seems to be to look for true men, fit for their work ;
id, having found them, to esteem and treat them all alike. The Com-
littee recommend the following: —

Resolved, That the General Assembly approve the reasons of the Board
for omitting to divide the Permanent Fund into distinct scholarships
yielding large amounts to be given to students whose grade of scholar-
ship is high.

The Board by some striking statements concerning the lessening num-
ber of candidates and the increasing number of vacant Churches urges
the Assembly to an earnest effort to discover and remove the causes
which divert our young men from the sacred office. It thus becomes
your Committee's duty to touch this large subject. Upon any nice de-
tails of those causes opinions would be apt to differ. But concerning
one main cause, in which many of the rest are rooted, there seems to be
little room for difference.

If the ministry be in essence an unworldly effort to serve Christ by
serving his Church, such effort assumes the honest and hearty sympathy
of the Church so served. With that sympathy engaged, and with God's
favor upon it, there results a relation full enough, indeed, of care and
work, but of ideal tenderness and delight. Where the Church makes
herself one with her ministry, that office mounts up bright and strong
like the peak of a hill, stable, on broad foundations. As much as the
ministry needs in a worldly way is made sure to it out of the Church's
worldly means. Worldly successes of its own, therefore, it can well
afford to forego for the sake of the spiritual successes and delights to
which a sympathizing spiritual Church helps it on. It is a Gospel axiom
that such a Church would never lack such a ministry till the end of
time.

But let some influence persuade the Church to thrust in between her-
self and her ministry, the common relations of business ; and the minis-
ter finds himself where Christ never meant him to be — between two
closed doors. He has shut himself off from all worldly successes, and
the Church has shut him out of her heart. It is not in human nature,
however gracious, to accept those impossible conditions. The Church

35

which imposes them must correct its mistakes or it will have no ministry
by and by. The vital essence of partnership is sympathetic identity be-
tween the Church and her leader in Christ's work. That makes long
pastorates. Something else makes short ones. Multiplied and colliding
denominations and Churches creating among themselves a worldly strife
come to estimate ministers by their value in the popular market. Min-
isters, being human and often sore pressed, are tempted to make such
estimate of themselves and of each other. " Ministerial Success" gradu-
ally becomes an old name for a new thing — namely success in the min-
istry as a business — a thing to be compensated by employers at its busi-
ness value. Pastor and people cease to be one party, and become two.
They meet and part on commercial principles. The man who sur-
rendered business in the hope of being the leader of a spiritual host
discovers that he is in business after all as the servant of a corporation.

Of cdurse this is the extreme statement of the evil. The discrimi-
nating truth concerning American congregations of all denominatio'
would grade them up from this low level to a large class that retai
X'ery much the old-time Gospel idea of the Christian minister and esteei
him very highly in love, for his work's sake. But it is a blind man why.
does not see that this class diminishes and the other classes grow.

Now Christian consecration is not folly. It is wisdom. It is not con-
secration to something that cannot be done; but to something that can.
If it have Christ's enemies to meet, it may be consecration to martyrdom
and be very wise at that ; for the martyrdom is its achievement. But if
consecration has a work to do with the Church, then the Church is to
work with the consecration. Martyrdom sudden at the hands of the
world, and martyrdom slow at the hands of the Church, as many a good
man knows it, is martyrdom in excess, consecration itself being judge.

It is no wonder that a young man who has grown up seeing how the
minister of his father and mother is in their hearts, and how all his
reasonable worldly interests are in their faithful hands, catches by con-
tact the flame of that pastor's zeal and delight, his parents praying be-
forehand that the flame may be kindled. But it is not conceivable that
a thoughtful youth who lias known Ave pastors, or three, or even two, and
has heard far more al)out the marketable merit, on the score of which
they come and go, than of their place in Christ's heart or their people's
should under that process kindle naturally to any theory but a purpose
not to be a minister. And it is not conceivable that his mother should
much oppose his purpose with her prayers.

In one word, when Christ's ministers forego worldly profit and suc-
cesses, Christ's Church must give them the compensating sympathy and co-
operation which Christ ordains, or ministerial motive dies out and the
ministry with it. Make the ministry a trade, and it is too precarious a
trade to invite wise ventures. But let the Church esteem the work and
exalt it according to New Testament meaning, and until Pentecost shall
be reversed and the Holy Ghost shall forsake the earth, the work shall
never want workers.

All this is no argument for a ministry to be pampered or flattered or
indulged in idleness or imperiousness or any other wrong. It demands,

36

on the other hand, a style of ministerial living and labor that shall com-
pel the Church to foster it with respect and love. When the Holy
Ghost enjoined, " Let no man despise thee," He taught what experience
proves, that the ministry cannot come to dishonor in the Church except
by its own sufferance. The Church could not, under any temptation,
have so widely lost the New Testament ideal of this office if ministers
themselves had kept it within their own hands and had set it forth.

There is room and need for a great reformation. Let the Assembly
warn the people of the intrinsic conditions of an office which seeks not
theirs but them ; let the Church give her heart, and then, of course, what
is needful of her means, both to pastors at home and to all those noble
men who are representing the Church piety in new and needy fields; let
every minister magnify in practice the supreme spiritual substance of his
work. Let him suffer for the sake of his ministry and of Christ sooner
than make merchandize of himself, even in the Church's market; let
him exalt the pure delight which he gets from Christ and his service,
and which no wrongs can lessen. So shall mistakes be rebuked and cor-
rected, and our youth shall get from such holy heroism an inspiration
like that which came with the mantle of Elijah when he found Elisha,
the son of Shaphat, plowing with the oxen, and cast it upon him.

It is not true, then, as is often said, that there is no need of prayer upon
this subject, but not only or chiefly for prayer for the increase of the
number of candidates, but prayer for the condition of Church life that
shall, under grace, develop candidates as the spring develops buds. More
faith in the things that never change, more zeal, more boldness, would
make the ministry more real. A real ministry would, by the Holy
Ghost, make a real Church, and would command a real succession.

The Committee recommend the adoption of the following resolution :

Resolved, That all pastors and stated supplies be requested to study
very carefully the fact and the cause of the diminishing supply of min-
isters, and to make the same the subject of special preaching and prayer
on the last Sabbath of January next.

In regard to this same question of the increase of candidates the Com-
mittee attach very great importance to the means adopted by this
Assembly for the wide distribution of preparatory schools and colleges.

The Board have intimated to the Assembly that there is a direction in
which manifest waste of money is made by some of the candidates whom
the Board assists, and upon this subject the Assembly is requested to
speak. The Committee recommend such answer as follows: —

Proper reflection and feeling, it would seem, would forbid any waste
of means thus derived. What comes into a candidate's hands as mere
money re})resents the faith and prayers and, to a large degree, the self-
denial of pious souls who intend their gifts to the pure glory of Christ.
Not a farthing of such gifts should be squandered, nor any other farth-
ing from whatever source received, the waste of which can require to be
supplemented from these consecrated ofl'erings. The man who does not
strictly need that help is a criminal if he takes it. It belongs to some
one else whose need is real. And if he takes it on the footing of need
he is bound to apply it to the need, and to nothing else, Jf he perverts

37

it to any empty indulgence, however irreproachable, he does a triple
injury ; to the giver whose intention he thwarts ; to himself by the loose
lesson which he teaches his conscience, and to his fellow candidates' pre-
sent and future. For nothing else so much hinders this tide of benevo-
lence as the belief that the gifts in not a few instances and in part at least
are spent in needless things. The solution of this difficulty cannot be
reached by the assertion of the candidate's separate and manly respon-
sibility. That, indeed, precludes all human question concerning his use
of his own means. It does not oblige other men to trust their means to
his notions of responsibility, unless they are satisfied with them. In so
far as the Board, which stands between the givers and the candidates,
knows that any unnecessary use of the Church's gifts is made, whether
by one candidate or by many, in degree and form, adapted to give rea-
sonable check to the income of the Board, it is not only the right but the
duty of the Board to use all the means necessary for bringing that mis-
chievous inconsistency to an end. And from the operation of this rule
the most innocent thing conceivable should not be shielded if its use be
so needless on the one hand and so expensive as to threaten the injury
described.

With this clear statement of the principle the Committee think it
well to commit detail of applicatioji to the Board.

Overtures have been put into the Committee's hands as follows: —

From the Presbytery of Neosho, in regard to the establishment of a
"Young Women's College."

From the Synod of Texas : from the Presbytery of North Texas ;
from the Presbytery of Trinity in the Synod of Texas, enclosing liberal
offers made citizens of Breckeuridge and Stephens County ; and from the
First Presbyterian Church of Breckeuridge ; all of which seek aid in
establishing a college in Texas.

The Committee recommend that all these overtures be placed in the
hands of the new Board of Aid for Colleges and Academies.

The term of the following members of the Board of Education ex-
pires by limitation this year : —

Minisirrs—.l . F. Dripps, R. M. Patterson, and G. II. Dufheld.

Laymen — William Few Smith, Robert N. Willsou, and Samuel Field.

The Committee recommend their re-election.

The Boaril has asked the Assembly's sanction for tlic election of Rev.
N. S. McFetridge to supply the place of Rev .B. L. Agnew.

The Committee recommend that the sanction be given.

All of which is respectfully submitted.

H. D, Ganse, Chairman.

RULES OF THE BOARD OF EDUCATION

— REI.ATINO TO —

CANDIDATES FOR THE MINISTRY.

I. — Dependence oe 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 Presby-
tery 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.

IL — Reception of Candidate.

1. 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 directed by a single desire for the glory of God. Every candi-
date 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 acquaintance as will warrant his taking the responsibility of so doing.

2. The Presbytery, in examining students with a view to their recommendation for
aid, must embrace such points as are indicated by the following questions, to which defi-
nite answers, by the direction of the Assembly, will invariably be re(|uired by the
Board : What is the candidate's name ? Age ? Residence ? Is the Presbytery satisfied
as to his experimental piety? As to his motives for seeking the ministry? As to his
talents? As to his health? As to his promise of practical efficiency? Is he free from
expensive and injurious habits? What is the lowest amount of pecuniary aid required
to supplement his really necessary expenses till the end of the jiresent collegiate year ?
Of what congregation is he a member? How long has he been in the communion of
the Church? >A'hat is his stage of study? Where studying? Has he been recom-
mended to Presbytery by his Church Session? If in a Theological Seminary, has he
pursued a collegiate course or itsefpiivalent ? Can he lecitethe Westminster Assembly's
Shorter Catechism ? Give the name of a responsible ])erson (usually a member of the
faculty of the institution, or his j)astor) through whom the scholarship can be sent.

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 extra-
ordinary cases.

HI. — Scholarships.
I. The annual scholarships to candidates shall be the same in amount for theological
and collegiate students, and not exceed ^150; for those in the preparatory course, the
amount shall not exceed $160.

39

2. These scholarships shall be paid to a student only on the reception of particulaf
and satisfactory reports from his professors, embracing the following points : Christian
Character? Scholarship? Rhetorical Ability? Punctuality? Economy?

3. The Board may increase or diminish, in a general ratio, the scholarship 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 authorized by him to receive it.
And this receipt shall contain a ])ledge to return the 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 tirst days of October, January, and April. The payments of a student
whose recommendation is made at any time between those days may be e.\pected to
commence at the date of it.

6. The Board will in no case be responsible for the debts of students; hut it is ex-
pected of them that the scholarship shall be first applied to the payment of tuition and
boarding.

7. The payments to candidates shall cease regularly at the close of the collegiate year,
or earlier when the time for which they were recommended l)y the Presbytery has ex
pired, and these shall not be made in cases of prolonged ill-health which may unfit them
for the work of the ministiy ; or when they are manifestly improvident, or contract debts
without reasonable prospects «f jiayment; or when they marry ; or when they receive
assistance from any other educational board or society; or when, from private circum-
stances, they cease to need aid.

8. The sums of money appropriated by the Board shall be refunded to it, with interest,
in case a student fail to enter on or continue in the work of the ministry (unle.^s it ap-
pears 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 jirosecute 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 aftbrded by the Presbyterian Church, through the Board of Educa-
tion, 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 obligated by it to a warmer in-
terest in her efforts for the advancement of the Redeemer's kingdom, and especially to
the use of the means necessary to instruct and stimulate her members in the duly of
multiplying and sending forth preachers of the Gospel of salvation to all the world.

IV. — Care of Candidates.

I. Candidates are required, except in extraordinary cases, and then only with the ex-
plicit permission of their Presbyteries, to pursue a thorough course of study, preparatory
to that of theology, in institutions that sympathize with the doctrinal teaching of the
Presbyterian Church; and, when prepared, to pursue a three years' course of theologi-
cal studies in some seminary connected with the same Church , and no work of preach-
ing is to be allowed to interfere with the diligent and faithful prosecution of their pre-
scribed .studies until their close.

* 2. The Board can rely only upon the Education Committee of each Presbytery 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 places of study, their trials, and the occupa-
tion 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 Presbytery, in its care of candidates, by furnishing
annually to the Education Committee a summary of information from the professors' re-
ports 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 institutions where they are, in regard to their duties and the claims of the office
which they have in view.

40

4- The recommenflation of each candidate must be annually renewed by his Presby-
tery, if possible at the sprin<j 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.

t;. Recommendations, or renewals of them, made by an Education Committee in the
interim of the Sessions of a Presbytery, shall be received as sufficient, provided its action
is reported to the Presbytery at its next session, and not countermanded to the Board.

6. If, at any time, there he 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 communicate without delay the in-
formation 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 trom its
Committee on Education, within the current quarter, it shall be the duly 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. III.); and this examination should be con-
ducted by the Presbytery, and be entirely satisfactory as to the " real piety" of the
students, and "the motives which have influenced them to desire the sacred office," be-
fore they are allowed to take this final step towards assuming its great responsibilities.

8. The annual reports and occasional publications of this Board, with the Alonthly
Jiecord 2in(\ a copy of the Confession of Faith, shall be sent gratis to all students under
its care who request them.

V. — Particular Duties of Candid.\tes.

1. Inasmuch as the great aim of the Church, in the establishment of the Board of Edu-
cation, is the increase of holy and faithful preachers of the Gospel> the young brethren
who look to this work are earnestly and affectionately reminded that all intellectual ac-
quisitions 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
themselves to Christ and to His service, as their Redeemer and as the Lord of all; at-
tendance at regular meetings on the Sabbath and during the week ; endeavors to pro-
mote 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 Presbytery, or of the Board; and if, when given,
he shall not be al sent from study more than three months, his scholarship will be con-
tinued; but if longer, it will be discontinued, or continued in part, according to circum-
stances.

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 pre-
vented,

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.

ACTION OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY,

OF MAY, 1883,

ON THE BOARD OF PUBLICATION.

The General Assembly, at its sessions in Saratoga, N. Y., appointed
the following Standing Committee on the Board of Publication, viz. :

Mrnisters. — J. Glentworth Butler, D.I)., Samuel Hodge, D.D., Am-
brose Y. Moore, William S. Taylor, Henry A. Harlow, Thomas K.
Davis, D.D., Edwin Hall, Adelbert Van der Lippe.

Elders. — Edwin S. Wells, Joseph Milligan, Henry C. Jenkins,
Henry H. West, John Stewart, John Sutherland, Manly Rogers.

On Wednesday, May 24, this Committee presented its report to the
General Assembly, which, after discussion, was adopted without
amendment, and is as follows ;

The Standing Committee on Publication have carefully considered
the action of the Board as presented in its Forty-fifth Annual Report,
together with the special instructions of the last General Assembly to
the Board, and also certain overtures referred by this Assembly, and
respectfully report :

DIRECTIONS OF THE LAST ASSEMBLY.

First. — That the directions of the last Assembly have all been loy-
ally and heartily fulfilled. " A separation as complete as practicable"
has been established " between the Publishing and the Colportage De-
partments." To " give greater unity to the work of colportage," and
to decrease the cost of administering that work, the ofiice of superin-
tendent has been abolished and its duties transferred to the Corre-
sponding Secretary of the Board; and, further, the four District
Superintendents have been retired from that position. " The work of
colportage, including the selection and appointment of colporteurs,
has been placed under the exclusive supervision of the Corresponding
Secretary and the Missionary Committee of the Board." " No col-
porteur has been sent to labor within the bounds of any Presbytery,
unless first recommended by the Presbytery or its appropriate com-
mittee," and no one has been appointed without careful examination
as to fitness for the work, and without a previous pledge of faithful
obedience to the printed instructions of the Board. Furthermore,

6

careful and laborious attention has been given to the reconstruction of
the colportage work. In the counsels and injunctions impressed upuu
the workmen, the central and vital matters of helpful religious minis-
try, of Sabbath-school planting and strengthening, and of judicious'
and gratuitous distribution of printed truth among the spiritually des-
titute, have been freshly and urgently emphasized. And the Mission-
ary Department has sought, as far as possible, to secure the aid of
pastors, home missionaries and other voluntary helpers in securing the
wider dififusion of our Presbyterian literature.

As instructed by the last Assembly, depositories of the Board's
publications have been established at Chicago and St. Louis, and
arrangements for the sale of its books, tracts and periodicals have been
made with bookselling houses in New York city, Syracuse, Cleveland.
Detroit, Indianapolis, Pittsbui'gh and Cincinnati.

These statements cover all the special directions of the last Assem-
bly, save that touching the expenses and profits of the Publishing
Department. This matter we treat definitely hereafter in its place.

THE WORK OP THE YEAR.

Second. — Your committee gladly report a year of effective work per-
formed by the Assembly's Board of Publication, in all respects a year
of unusual prosperity.

The work, as reorganized by the action of the last Assembly, in-
definitely two-fold. It includes a business work of publishing and
sale of books, tracts and periodicals, and a missionary work of col-
portage and of Sabbath-school improvement and expansion.

THE BUSINESS OR PUBLISHING DEPARTMENT.

Twenty-five new books and twelve new tracts, of which there have
been printed 119,500 copies and reprints of previous publications to the
number of 324,250 copies, making in all 443,750 copies, together with
a total issue of ten periodicals, amounting to 11,940,819 copies, com-
prise the production of the year. The fact to be noted in this connec-
tion is that the net increase of subscriptions to our periodicals amounts
to 108,000, which means an addition of one and a half million copies
to the product of the previous year.

As to the quality of the subject-matter contained in this vast issue
of periodicals, tracts and volumes, in the estimate of intelligent readers
it is unsurpassed by any similar products of the press. Every min-
ister and member of the Presbyterian household, as well as the super-

intendents and Sunday-schools that give it welcome, bears testimony to
its worth, its suitableness and its increasing usefulness.

The committee call attention, also, to the material, the style of dress
and the substantial make-up of the volumes, and to their price, in
comparison with issues of other publishers. In paper, press-work and
binding the books of the Board have no superiors. And in the mat-
ter of price, since the great reductions made during the last few years,
there are scarcely any publishing houses that vie in cheapness with
our own admirably-managed " Book Concern " in Philadelphia. A
personal examination by your committee of six books, the last pub-
lished by as many different leading houses (each book priced at $1.25),
in comparison with the Board's last book (at the same price), shows
that the latter volume contains from 36 to 172 pages more reading
matter, and that the volume is equal if not superior to all others in
quality of paper and press-work, and in solidity and strength of binding.

THE treasurer's ACCOUNT (pages 46 and 47 of annual" report).
With a balance on hand at the outset of $31,288 belonging to the
Publishing Department and of $7297 to the Missionary fund, the
whole amount received from various sources on account of publication
was $199,852, and that received for missionary work (including profit
on books sold) was $42,685, making the total of receipts $281,124.
Of this sum $210,648 was disbursed for the Publishing or Business De-
partment, and $41,793 was expended upon the Missionary Department;
leaving a balance of $28,681 with the Treasurer. Besides this clear
discrimination between the receipts and expenditures of the two depart-
ments, which appears in these financial statements, it is a grateful fact,
and one of prime interest to pastors in the appeal for greater breadth
and more abundant service in behalf of colportage, that the year's con-
tributions from church offerings, legacies and individual donors were
all actually expended upon the colporteurs and the donated publications
at their net value ; and further, that two-thirds of the cost of donated
publications were returned in the form of profit upon books sold by
the colporteurs. An analysis of the Treasurer's several statements
will make all these points manifest, so that the announcement may
henceforth be boldly made by every minister who asks a generous
offering for this cause, that all moneys gathered for colportage and
missionary work are expended exclusively upon such work as directed
by the General Assembly; not one dollar goes into the Publishing
Department. And it may be added that any intelligent investigator,
by careful comparison of the Treasurer's statements, can ascertain

8

every needful and desirable fact touching the financial adjustment of
the two departments.

As indicating the Board's response to the instructions of the last
Assembly bearing upon a larger use of its profits in the reduction of
prices and increase of missionary donations, its present report affirms,
and all the facts disclosed confirm the statement, that to the best of
its judgment it has utilized and will continue to utilize its small bal-
ance of profit by reducing still yet further the prices of its publica-
tions and enlarging its appropriations to the work of colportage. This
response of the Board, confirmed as it is by its action, seems squarely
to meet and remove the last of the objections or difficulties suggested
in past years.

THE MISSIONARY DEPARTMENT OP THE BOARD.

As previously intimated, this includes the Colportage and Sabbath-
school work. During the whole or considerable portions of the year
49 colporteurs have fulfilled their simple but needed and helpful ser-
vice in 33 Synods and 64 Presbyteries. They have organized 72
Sabbath -schools in destitute localities, and infused fresh life into 1172
previously existing schools. They have visited 56,651 families, and
distributed by sale and donation many thousands of volumes and hun-
dreds of thousands of tracts and periodicals. In the work of gratui-
tous distribution, the Missionary Committee have also been aided by
large numbers of voluntary and unpaid visitors.

In view of the vastness of the legitimate field for colportage service,
and of the instant demand for this temporary pioneer work of sim-
plest seed-planting at hundreds of points in our limitless territory,
among an already stupendous population with its swiftly-multiply-
ing millions, it surely becomes a Church possessing so mighty and
wide a heritage of spiritual power and material resources to ask if such
meagre results in this pioneer department of its high missionary call-
ing can suffice to meet its central obligation to its divine Head !

Your committee recommend that the General Assembly press with
an intense emphasis upon the hearts of the entire ministry and the
people of the Presbyterian Church the imperative call for greatly-en-
larged offerings to this colporteur service, that a broader, more ade-
quate and efiective work may be wrought in behalf of the spiritual
condition and needs of our everywhere massing western population.

The Sabbath-school Work. — As closely allied to the Mission-
ary Department, it finds its natural place in this connection.

Through the judicious plans and energetic efforts of the Secretary,
together with the warm and growing sympathies and the quick and
earnest responses of the churches in connection with this work, that
work is now fully inaugurated. The year's report discloses results that
already vindicate the wisdom of past Assemblies in the creation and
care of this new agency.

The Secretary has either directed or largely participated in more
than a score of Sabbath-school institutes, covering almost the entire
(church and reaching its prominent centres. He has given a course of
lectures in the Princeton Seminary, and addressed the students of the
seminary at Chicago. Furthermore, by specific communications with
Synods, Presbyteries, and by wide private correspondence with pastors
and superintendents, conveying information and suggestions concern-
ing Sabbath-school work, by frequent communications in our lesson
helps and suggestions for teaching in the Westminster Teacher, and
by pressing everywhere the organization of normal classes, he has
sought to use his office in the interest of the work committed to his
care. As the result partly of his labor and of a larger and more in-
telligent apprehension of the Sunday-school work, there appears a
deepening interest, with more of wise oversight and effort to improve
methods and appliances on the part of church sessions, while our
Presbyteries are helping to increase the enthusiasm and efficiency of
the schools by appointing and sustaining institutes for instruction and
stimulus.

In accordance with suggestions made to your committee, they rec-
ommend the adoption of the following resolutions :

1. Pastors and sessions are urged to put forth practical and persist-
ent efforts to enlist their entire congregations in systematic Bible
study and teaching in connection with the Sabbath-school.

2. The General Assembly again emphasizes the duty of church
sessions to exercise supervision over their Sabbath-schools, especially
in the choice of officers and teachers.

3. In the judgment of the General Assembly greater prominence
should be given in Sabbath-school contributions to the causes repre-
sented by our Boards, that the scholars may be educated intelligently
to contribute to each, always and especially remembering the Sabbath-
school Missionary Work of the Board of Publication.

4. The General Assembly approves the proposed organization of the
Board, through its Secretary, of the Bible Correspondence School in •
the interest of the better trainin"; of teachers.

10

5. The General Assembly hereby designates the second Sabbath of
June as the Children's Day, on which special services for the children
shall be held, and the vital topics of the Christian nurture and the
conversion of the young shall be pressed upon the thought of the
entire congregation.

Conclusion. — In concluding this summary review the committee add
this brief comment : that the extent and excellence of the work
achieved aflPords the most fitting commendation of the wisdom of the
Board's administration and the efficiency of all its official helpers, and
it is but just that the word of warm and generous approval should
have renewed expression by this Assembly.

Special overtures or memorials respecting an increase of publications
in German have been received from seven Presbyteries, viz. : Alton,
Trinity, Platte, St. Louis, Chippewa, Missouri and Rock River. The
phraseology of the papers runs thus, " To take immediate steps to
supply the great want of German literature ;" " to increase and im-
prove ;" " to provide more and more suitable German books and tracts;"
" to secure promptly a liberal supply of such as can be used."

In response to this wide and earnest request, your committee rec-
ommend the adoption of the following :

Resolved^ That the General Assembly recommend that the Board
of Publication give especial consideration to the wants of our German
Presbyterian congregations, and publish for their use as soon as prac-
ticable a series of readable, earnest tracts in the German language,
explaining and enforcing the doctrines and polity of the Presbyterian
Church.

In place of the members of the Board whose term of office expires
in May, 1883, the committee recommend the election of the following:

Ministers. — Robert M. Patterson, Thomas Murphy, James A. Wor-
den, William T. Eva, William Greenough, Herrick Johnson, John S.
Macintosh, John S. Sands.

£lders. — Theodore W. Baker, George Sharswood, W. F. Raynolds,
John Scott, George W. Mears, William Wood, William L. Dubois,
Robert H. Hinckley.

In place of Rev. George W. Musgrave, the Rev. H. Augustus
Smith, and of Mr. G. S. Benson, who have died during the past year,
and Mr. Samuel A. Coyle, who has resigned, they recommend Revs.
Samuel J. Niccolls and William D. Roberts, and Messrs. Edward P.
Borden and Joseph M. Collingwood.

FORTY-FIFTH ANiNUAL REPORT

OF THE

Presbyterian Board of Publication.

1883.

The Board of Publication takes pleasure in presenting to the
General Assembly this its Forty-fifth Annual Report, grate-
fully acknowledging the goodness of God in bringing it to the
end of another year of its work in circumstances of increased
prosperity and promise.

During the year now closed the Board has added to its cata-
logue a large number of valuable and interesting volumes,
adapted to attract and benefit various classes of readers. The
issues of its periodicals are steadily enlarging and are taking a
wider and stronger hold upon the church, especially upon the
young. The colporteurs of the Board, bearing its publications
to the homes and hands of the people, are more widely than
ever before traversing the newer, more sparsely-settled and
more destitute portions of the land, and have been manifestly
attended by the divine blessing. The Sabbath-school work of
the Board has gained in popularity, in power, and in extended
usefulness. New channels have been opened for the steady sale
of the Board's publications in many large cities of the United
States and Canada. The receipts of the Board are in ad-
vance of nearly all the years preceding. And in every depart-
ment of its work the Board rejoices to perceive that it is making
a steady onward progress towards wider fields and larger meas-
ures of usefulness and power in advancing the kingdom of our
divine Redeemer. For this greatly-enlarged, on-coming work,

12 FORTY-FIFTH ANNUAL REPORT [May,

it is our prayer that the hearts and hands both of the members
of this Board and the church at large may be fully prepared by
the power of the Holy Spirit.

presents a train of thought, not in the beaten track, that will prove of
great value.

No. 1245. Tangles and Corners in the life of Kezzie
Driscoll. By Kate W. Hamilton, author of " Vagabond
and Victor," etc. 16mo, pp. 335. Price, $1 25.
Kezzie Driscoll is the Christian daughter of a Christian man, but
there is little of the light and strength of godliness in her home. She
desires to do right, but she finds moral " tangles " which she cannot un-
ravel. In the progress of her life God leads her to a clear resting in him
for wisdom and guidance, and her path grows clear and her footsteps
iirm.

No. 1246. Love and Friendship. By the Rev. J. F. Dripps.
32mo, pp. 96. Price, 50 cts.

The author of this volume argues that enduring love and true friend-
ship, in the fullest significance of the terms, are identical, and that they
are to be found in the union of the parties in the love of Christ.

No. 1247. Dorothy Dorchester. By Helen B. Williams.
16mo, pp. 396. Price, $1 25.

This volume follows the fortunes of two girls, first at home and then at
boarding-school. Dorothy's conscience will not permit her to be at ease
until she rests in losing personal ambition in a trustful rest in Christ.

No. 1248. Harry Moore's Choice. By Julia A. Matthews.
With other Missionary Stories. 16mo, pp. 379. Price,
$1 25.

A volume of missionary stories which takes its name from the first

of them. The book is addressed especially to boys, and seeks to awaken
them to an earnest purpose to live for the kingdom of Christ. In it the
" Story of Mohammed" is admirably told.

No. 1249. The Mode of Christian Baptism. By the Rev.
Samuel Hatchings. 16mo, pp. 34:4. Price, $1.

The first edition of this book received the warm commendation of
men of eminent ability for the freshness, clearness, candor and force
with which it discusses, in conversational form, the subject of the mode
of Christian baptism. Even a Baptist paper said, " The author has
written in an excellent spii'it, and the arguments used are of a sensible
kind." The new and revised edition can be commended to those seeking
light on the questions discussed.

No. 1250. Home Making. By the Rev. J. R. Miller, D.D.,
author of " Week-Day Religion." 16mo, pp. 310.
Price, ^1.

In it Dr. Miller addresses the makers of the home, husband, wife,
father, mother, brother, sister, son and daughter, in words of wisdom
clothed in grace. The entrance of this book into the homes of our peo-
ple cannot fail to be of service in purifying their atmosphere and ele-
vating their tone whilst contributing to their enjoyment, for it is as
pleasant as it is profitable.

No. 1251. Through the Desert. By Mrs. A. K. Dun-
ning. Letting Doivn the Bars Series, No. 4. 16mo,
pp. 272. Price, $1.

16 FORTY-FIFTH ANNUAL REPORT [May,

No. 1253. The Church in Scotland : a History of its An-
tecedents, its Conflicts and its Advocates, from the
earliest times to the first Assembly of the Reformed
Church. By the Rev. James C. Moffat, D.D., Pro-
fessor of Church History, Princeton Theological Semi-
nary. With four maps. 12mo, pp. 447. Price, $1 75.

Recent research has done much to clear up the obscurity which rested
upon the early periods of Scotch Church History. Ancient books upon
the subject have been subjected to careful comparison and criticism.
Fact has been separated from fiction, and true historic record from
legendary lore. The results of this research have been here brought
together in a consecutive narrative, every statement of vrhich is sup-
ported by critically defined evidence. It consists of four books : — Book
First, Ancient Period ; Book Second, Period of Papal Rule ; Book
Third, Causes which led to the Reformation ; Book Fourth, The Ref-
ormation Conflict. Four maps, prepared expressly for it, illustrate the
volume.

No. 1254. Martyrs of the Reformation. Merle D'Au-
bignd's Martyrs of the Reformation, with an Introduc-
tion by the Rev. C. H. A. Bulkley, D.D., Professor of
Rhetoric and Literature in Howard University, Wash-
ington, D. C. 12mo, pp. 510. Price, $1 75.

The personal sketches contained in this volume have been carefully
culled by Dr. Bulkley from Merle D'Aubign6's History of the Reforma-
tion : they constitute a notable gallery of religious portraits, which for
vivid coloring and personal verisimilitude are unsurpassed. Their read-
ing should and will give nerve and fire to our too cool religious emotions.

No. 1255. China and the Chinese. A general Descrip-
tion of the Country and its Inhabitants ; its Civiliza-
tion and Form of Government; its Religious and Social
Institutions ; its Intercourse with other Nations, and
its Present Condition and Prospects. Revised edition.
By the Rev. John L. Nevius, D.D., twenty-eight years
a Missionary to China. With a map and numerous illus-
trations. 12mo, pp. 452. Price, $1 50.

Now that China is our next neighbor on the west, it is important that
we become acquainted with the country and its inhabitants. This book,
which is fully described in the title page, will help us to such an ac-
quaintance. It gives the result of the personal observations and expe-

1883.] OF THE BOARD OF PUBLICATION. 17

riences of the author, a man of high intelligence and abundant oppor-
tunity, during more than twenty-five years of familiar intercourse with
all classes of the people, and in difi"erent parts of the empire.

No. 1256. The Elder and his Work. By David Dickson,
Master of the Merchant Company of Edinburgh. Re-
printed from the thirteenth thousand of the Edinburgh
Edition. 16mo, pp. 92. Price, 50 cents.

This tractate is from the pen of one of the best-known and most use-
ful elders of the Free Church of Scotland. It is practical in its scope,
and abounds in the most admirable suggestions. It treats in successive
chapters of the importance of the eldership, the elder's qualifications,
duties of elders, the elder in his district, etc., etc. It is eminently
adapted for circulation among elders in our American churches.

No. 1257. Tom Bard, and other Nortonville Boys. By the
Rev. J. A. Davis. Illustrated. 16mo, pp. 408. Price,
$1 25.

The boys, girls, men, women and places told of in this book are real,
though bearing fictitious names. It shows that boys can live Christian
lives and yet be real boys, and that in boy-life simple acts of kindness
and Christian charity may bring results far beyond our highest expecta-
tions. The one great object of the book is to lead boys to become better
acquainted with the Saviour.

No. 1258. Dr. Grantley's Neighbors. By Ella Beck-
with Keeney and Annette Lucille Noble. 16mo, pp.
320. Price, $1 15.

This book has the peculiarity of being the work of two authors. Mrs.
Ella Beckwith Keeney, whose previous book, " Following the Master,"
gave high promise of excellence as an author, began this volume,
but, dying in early womanhood, left it only half written. Her friend,
Miss Annette Lucille Noble, took up the unfinished work and carried
it to completion with so full a sympathy that it is impossible to tell
where one writer ended and the other began. In a tale of more than
oi'dinary power, the influence of consistent Christian bearing on the
part of his " neighbors" to break down the bitter prejudices of the in-
fidel, " Dr. Grantley," is skillfully portrayed.

No. 1259. The Greys. By Abby Eldridge. 16mo, pp.
216. Price, 85 cts.

A temperance tale directed rather against those insidious efi'ects of
moderate drinking which often escape notice outside of the home, than

18 FORTY-FIFTH ANNUAL REPORT [^lay,

against drunkenness in its grosser forms. It is told with effective quiet-
ness.

No. 1260. Graham's Lectures on Ephesians. Lectures
on the Epistle to the Ephesians. By the Rev. William
Graham, D.D., of Bonn, Prussia, formerly of Damascus.
8vo, pp. 453. Price, $1 25.

This is a book of no ordinary merit. The characteristics by which it
is especially marked are broad learning, shown in results rather than by
processes ; a remarkable knowledge of the Scriptures, by which light is
made to concentrate upon the text under consideration from a multitude
of related passages, and an intense fervor, enlightened by a rare spirit-
ual insight. It is a book to be read, not hastily, but section by section,
with attention and meditation, that its deep thoughts of things divine
and spiritual may be grasped and made our own. A brief sketch of the
author's useful and eventful life, now (1883) in its seventy-third year, is
prefixed to the volume.

Half Hours avith the Lessons for 1883. 12mo, pp. 475.
Price, $1 50.

This volume contains forty-eight short sermons on the Sabbath-school
Bible lessons of the International Series for 1883, by twenty-four prom-
inent pastors and preachers. They are specially prepared to throw light
upon the lessons and to aid superintendents and teachers in their studies.
While the explanatory and practical notes of the oi'dinary lesson helps
take up the passage verse by verse, most of these sermons aim to gather
the text into a unity by taking its central thought and developing it. It
is good to look at a passage from as many points of view as possible, and
these sermons show us the lessons from the preacher's standpoint. They
are short and practical, and will be admirable for reading aloud in the
home circle week by week when the lesson is being talked over. As a
book of sermons merely, this volume is well worth purchasing. It has
been so warmly welcomed that a similar volume will be published on
the Bible lessons for 1884.

Missionary Exercises. For the use of Sabbath-schools and
Mission Circles and Mission Bands. 12mo, pp. 192.
Price, 30 cents.

This collection of responsive readings, dialogues, selections, prose and
poetry, arranged by the " Woman's Foreign Missionary Society of the
Presbyterian Church," fills a place and meets a want in connection with
the work of missions in the churches. It is sold at the low price of
thirty cents, to facilitate its purchase and enlarge its usefulness.

Manual of Forms. 16mo, 124 pp. Limp morocco. Price,
75 cents.

The rewritten and much enlarged edition of this manual, prepared by
the Rev. Archibald Alexander Hodge, D.D., will prove helpful to pastors.
Its title in full expresses its intent: it is "A Manual of Forms for bap-
tism, admission to the communion, administration of the Lord's Supper,
marriage, funerals, ordination of elders and deacons, etc., conformed to
the doctrine of the Presbyterian Church."

The Westminster Question Book for 1883. 18mo, pp.
192. Price, 15 cents.

In all respects this little book is believed to be in advance of its pred-
ecessors. It is intended for teachers, parents and scholars. It contains-
the lesson text in full, daily home readings, golden text, topic and lesson
plan, notes on the text, questions, practical teachings and Catechism
question for each lesson. There is really matter enough packed into it
for a dollar book, but it is sold iovjifteen cents. It has had a very cor-
dial reception, as has been shown by its large circulation in the face of
increased competition. Besides giving a question of the Shorter Cate-
chism in order in each lesson, other questions are woven into the exposi-
tion of every lesson. This is a feature that should commend it to all
our Presbyterian schools, in which the distinctive doctrines of our Church
should be clearly inculcated. An edition of sixty thousand copies has
been published and almost entirely disposed of.

IN PRESS.

The Westminster Sabbath-School Hymnal.

In response to a pressing demand, as well as to the recommendations
of the last General Assembly, the Board has in a good state of forward-
ness a book for the service of song in our Sabbath-schools, to be called
the Westminster Sabbath-School Hymnal.

The book aims to give — both as to hymns and tunes —

1. What our young people can sing.

2. What they will sing,

3. What they ought to sing.

A carefully-made selection from the standard hymns of the Church
forms the backbone of the book. Among these greatly-loved hymnt;
preference has been given to those best in themselves and most worthy
of being stored in the memory, and those most readily grasped by the
young and most adapted to hearty singing. With these indispensable
hymns of the Church there has been mingled a liberal selection from
the many books published for use in "gospel meetings" and in the
Sabbath-school, of hymns and tunes that are deservedly favorites.

20 FORTY-FIFTH ANNUAL REPORT [May,

Original pieces of merit, with others from the modern ecclesiastical
music of England and the Continent, complete the book, on which
neither expense nor labor has been spared. It is believed that it will
prove sound in its composition, whilst attractive and available for the
service of song in the Sabbath-school, and also fitted to use in the chapel
and prayer-meeting. To pack as much as possible into the book, with-
out unduly increasing its size and cost, hymns will be given without the
music where the tunes to which they are ordinarily sung are familiar
and pretty sure to be within reach.

The long experience, the good taste and skill, with the Christian sym-
pathy in the work, of the musical editor, Mr. T, F, Seward, assure us of
excellence in that department. It is confidently believed that the book
will be found truly serviceable, and will be used with pleasure as well as
with profit. It will contain 192 pages, and more than two hundred
hymns ; and will be sold at 35 cents, or $30 per hundred.

An edition with the hymns only, without the tunes, will also be pub-
lished and sold at a lower rate.

Index of Presbyterian Ministers.

The Board will publish at an early day a work on which great labor
has been put and a very heavy cost incurred, an " Index of Presbyterian
Ministers." In an overture to the General Assembly of 1880, the atten-
tion of the Assembly was called to the fact that no alphabetical index
to the lists of ministei's given in our Assembly Minutes was published
previous to the New School Minutes of 1851 and the Old School Minutes
of 1854, Hence the information contained in the early Minutes of the
Assembly is practically unavailable to those desiring such information,
whilst to secure needed information with regard to ministers whose
names occur in later years involves a great expenditure of time. The
overture was referred by the Assembly to the Board of Publication,
and it was determined by the Board that a volume should be published
to meet this want. Prof. Willis J, Beecher, D.D., of Auburn Theological
Seminary, has, at immense labor, prepared an alphabetical index, giving
every year and page on which the name of every minister of the Presby-
terian Church of the United States of America, from the beginning of
its recorded existence, occurs. The stereotyping of the book is nearly
completed. It will make a volume of about 600 octavo pages.

PERIODICALS.

This important department of the work of the Board continues
to increase in its extent and in its influence. The churches
and the Sabbath-schools have come more and more to the be-
lief that they can do better every way by using the papers and
Bible-helps of their own Board than by going elsewhere. This
conviction has swelled the subscription lists of the various
periodicals to an extent truly remarkable, and this increase of
circulation goes constantly on, promising a still greater circu-
lation in the future.

With January, 1883, the prices of several of the periodicals
were largely reduced, as will be noted below. The helps to
Bible study and the illustrated papers published by the Board
ai'e —

the WESTMINSTER TEACHER.

The Westminster Teacher is a monthly magazine of forty
pages, octavo. It aims to meet the wants of our Sabbath-
school teachers and officers by a full exposition and illustration
of the International Bible Lessons, and by articles bearing upon
the various departments of this branch of church work. It is
also designed to aid parents in the home instruction of their
children in connection with the studies of the Sabbath-school.
The large increase in the circulation of the Teacher during the
past year, as well as direct communications, give gratifying
evidence of its measurably fulfilling its aims and meeting the
wishes of its subscribers.

It is furnished at 60 cents a year to single subscribers, and
oO cents where six or more copies are addressed to one person.

1883.] OF THE BOARD OF PUBLICATION. 23

WESTMINSTER QUESTION BOOK.

The Westminster Question Book is mentioned under the head
of " Bound Volumes," but is a part of the series of publications
for use in Bible study by Sabbath-schools. It has been popular
in the past, but has been made still more worthy of approval.
Though called a " Question Book," it is a complete manual for
the study of the International Bible Lessons of the year. The
Shorter Catechism is given in it systematically, one question
for each Sabbath, as in the other periodicals of the Board. It
is intended for use in Bible-classes and the senior classes of the
school. Price, $15 per hundred, net.

AVESTMINSTER QUARTERLY FOR SCHOLARS.

The Westminster Quarterly is a help to the study of the
Bible lessons, adapted to use by the more intelligent classes of
our Sabbath-schools. It is published in the form of an octavo
of thirty-two pages. One appropriate hymn accompanies each
lesson, so that each quarterly number contains eleven or twelve
hymns adapted to use in the school. The increase in its cir-
culation is the best evidence of its approval by our churches.
Single subscription, 20 cents ; school subscriptions, to one ad-
dress, 15 cents each per annum.

THE WESTMINSTER LESSON LEAF.

This "Leaf" fills the place of an "intermediate leaf." It
is issued monthly, but is so arranged that the lesson for each
Sabbath occupies the two sides of one leaf. Thus those who
prefer a monthly distribution of the leaf are satisfied, and those
desiring to have a weekly leaf have only to tear the leaves
apart. As in the other papers, the Shorter Catechism forms a
regular part of each week's lesson.

PRICES REDUCED.

In accordance Avith the fixed plan of the Board to furnish
aids to Bible study, as well as all other publications, at the
lowest sum consistent with business safety, the price of the
" Lesson Leaf" was reduced with January, 1883, from the rate
of $7 50 to $6 for one hundred copies for one year. This

24 FORTY-FIFTH ANNUAL REPORT [May,

Step will undoubtedly meet the wishes of our feebler congrega-
tions, and enable them to take the help prepared specifically
for them by their own Board.

WESTMINSTER PRIMARY LEAF.

The Westminster Primary Leaf, for the youngest classes
studying the International Bible Lessons, is still prepared by
Mrs. G. R. Alden ("Pansy "), and has largely increased in its
circulation. The same reduction in price has been made in it
as in the "Westminster Lesson Leaf," mentioned above.

GERMAN LESSON LEAF.

The German Lesson Leaf is doing a good work in meeting
the wants of our German congregations, to whom it proves a
valuable help in the study of the Bible in the Sabbath-school.
Although, owing to the limitation of its circulation by the
limited number of German congregations in our connection, it
was published at a loss at $7.50 per hundred copies a year, the
price has been reduced to $6, that our German brethren
may not pay more than do the more numerous English-speaking
Presbyterians.

THE SABBATH-SCHOOL VISITOR.

This oldest periodical of the Board holds its own against the
numerous papers that have come into existence since it began
to instruct and gratify young readers with its bright articles
and attractive illustrations. In 1882 it was published every
week, but a change has been made in 1883 that will meet the
demand of many churches of small means for a paper with all
the excellencies of- the Visitor, but at a smaller cost than
even its low price. The Visitor is now published twice a
month, that is, on the first and third weeks of each month. It
may be taken once a month or twice a month, as may. be pre-
ferred, at the following terms per year :

SINGLE SUBSCRIPTION.

Once a month .... 25 cents.
Twice a month .... 40 cents.

SCHOOL SUBSCRIPTIONS.

To one address, at the rate of
^12 per 100 copies, once a month.

Or, at the rate of one cent for each copy.

Then, on the second and fourth weeks of each month, the
Board publishes

THE MORNING STAR,

which will be found equal to the Sahhath- School Visitor in
every respect, but of one-half its size, yet with more than one-
half the amount of reading, at the following rates per year :

SINGLE SUBSCRIPTIONS.

Twice a month

'20 cents.

SCHOOL SUBSCRIPTIONS.

$ 6 per 100 copies, once a month.

Or, at the rate of half a cent for each copy. Surely that is
cheap enough !

THE SUNBEAM.

The Sunbeam continues to smile on its constantly-increasing
army of young admirers. It is a weekly illustrated paper,
with easy reading, in short words and big type, with attractive
engravings, adapted to the very little ones of the home and
school. It also carries help on the International Lessons for
the primary classes and the little ones at home. Single sub-
scriptions, 30 cents; school subscriptions at the rate of $25 per
hundred, a year.

FORWARD.

With January, 1882, the Board commenced the publication
of Forward, an illustrated monthly paper, sixteen pages quarto,
to meet the wants of that class of our young people who have
outgrown the " children's papers," and who demand something
more mature. Some of them are in our older classes, some in
Bible-classes, some are teachers, and some entirely out of the
Sabbath-school. Forward is made attractive by pictorial illus-
trations, whilst its articles constantly keep in view the tastes
and wants of those for whom it is prepared. It seeks to be
helpful, to be elevating, to lead heavenward, whilst aiming also
to be sprightly and wide awake to topics of present interest to
young men and women. Its price was 50 cents a year ; and
40 cents where five or more copies were sent to one address.
But, with a determination to put its periodicals at the lowest
possible rates, the Board has

26 FORTY-FIFTH ANNUAL REPORT [May,

REDUCED THESE PRICES,

SO that now one copy to one address is 40 cents ; five or
more copies to one address, 25 cents each, per year. With
this change the circulation of Forward is already nearly
three times what it was in 1882. There can be no question
that this circulation will still more largely increase as the
churches become acquainted with the paper. It meets with
universal applause.

THE PRESBYTERIAN MONTHLY RECORD.

This organ of the Assembly's Boards and Committees con-
tinues to be published, in octavo pamphlet form, by the Board
of Publication, but only as publisher for the Assembly's Boards
and Committees, the control of its pages resting entirely with
the several organizations represented. The monthly circula-
tion of the mao-azine has been between nine and ten thou-
sand, including the copies sent gratuitously to each of the min-
isters of the Church. The loss incurred by its publication and
distribution is shared by the Assembly's Boards in the ratio of
the space occupied by each.

DISTRIBUTION.

THE BOOKSTORE OF THE BOARD.

The handsome bookstore of the Board, at No. 1334 Chest-
nut Street, Philadelphia, is an attraction to Presbyterians
visiting that city. They find there a full display of all the
publications of the Board, which all are invited leisurely to
examine. Its catalogue now contains over 2500 publications, of
which about 1500 are volumes, the remainder being tracts and
pamphlets. They are of wide variety and scope, and are
adapted to interest and benefit all kinds of people. They com-
prehend numerous and valuable works on the doctrines and
polity of the church, on religious experience and Christian
duty, on church history, missions and nearly every Christian
topic. They are suited to help the unconverted soul, the
Christian believer, the ruling elder, and the minister of the

gospel. Choice selections may be made for the Sabbath-school
or the church library, or for family use. Few persons who
have not given special attention to the matter are aware how
wide and comprehensive is their variety.

In addition to these, the Board offers in its bookstore a large
stock of the publications of other publishing houses — the chief
ones in all our large cities. Orders for other books, if not on
hand, will be filled, if possible, by promptly procuring them
elsewhere.

Any number of the very best books for Sabbath-school
libraries may here be selected with every reasonable assurance
that they will be found unobjectionable. If any book is pur-
chased which is deemed by the purchaser, on careful examina-
tion, objectionable, he is invited to return it with a written
statement of his objections, and either its price or another
volume of the same price, as he may direct, will be sent to
him.

A wide variety of maps, charts, blackboards, sessional and
Sabbath-school records, minutes, class-books, blank forms,
librarians' books, and all other f;\cilities needed for the proper
and convenient working of the church or the Sabbath-school,
may here be found.

Bibles and New Testaments, commentaries and theological
works, of both handsome and plain styles, are always kept on
hand, and if any particular kind is wanted that is not in the
store, it will be promptly obtained from its publisher or else-
where, and furnished at the lowest practicable price.

Although the contrary is often asserted by rival dealers, and
the statement is occasionally reiterated even by Presbyterians,
careful and fair comparisons made between its prices and those
of numerous other houses in various cities enable the Board
to assure all parties interested that its books are sold as low
as those of most publishing houses, and cheaper than those of
many of them. Within the last few years the prices of a
large proportion of the books on its catalogue have been greatly
reduced. The entire list of ISmo and 32mo publications,
covering about 450 volumes, have been reduced in price fully

28 FORTY-FIFTH ANNUAL REPORT [May,

30 per cent., no book of this class now costing more than 60
cents, retail price ; or to Sabbath-schools 45 cents. Many of
these publications have as much reading matter in them as
the ordinary $1 and $1 25 volumes, and if made in the other
size would readily sell at those prices.

In view of all that it is doing to diffuse by every right
means a Calvinistic, Presbyterian and evangelical literature
throughout our land and the world, may not the Board of Pub-
lication properly appeal both to the Christian zeal and denom-
inational sympathies of all true Presbyterians, whether they
be ministers, ruling elders or private church members, for
their active co-operation in enlarging the circulation of its
publications in their several vicinities ? Who can tell the great
amount of good they might thus do, in this day when so vast
an amount of pernicious literature is scattered broadcast, by
helping to diffuse the pure and blessed truths of the gospel as
an antidote thereto ?

OUR NEW DEPOSITORIES.

In accordance with the action of the last General Assembly,
a depository of the Board's publications has been established
at Chicago, under the care of Mr. C. H. Whiting, at No. 137
Wabash Avenue, one of the best locations of the. city. It is
now fairly under way, and all the issues of the Board can be
obtained there, as well as other publishers' books.

Another was established at St. Louis, in charge of Rev. J.
W. Allen, D.D., at No. 1107 Olive Street, which was already
a headquarters for Presbyterians. Both of these, it is hoped,
will meet the wants of their respective regions.

OTHER BOOKSTORE ARRANGEMENTS.

During the year new arrangements for the sale of our publi-
cations have been made with Messrs. Ward & Drummond, 116
Nassau Street, New York, who keep a full stock, with largely
increased business ; with Mr. George A. Mosher, Syracuse,
N. Y., which also looks favorable ; with Mr. John Willyoung,

1883.] OF THE BOARD OF PUBLICATION. 29

of Detroit, Michigan ; with Messrs. Ingham, Clark & Co.,
Cleveland, Ohio ; with the Board of Colportage, Pittsburgh,
Pa. ; Rev. W. A. Patton, Indianapolis, Indiana ; and the
Western Tract Society, Cincinnati, Ohio, to all of whom greater
facilities have been offered.

RECEIPTS AND SALES.

The receipts into the treasury during the year from all
sources, including the balance of $38,586 55 from last year,
were $281,124 16, and exclusive of that balance, $242,537 61.

The entire expenditures of the year have been $252,442 23.

The balance in the treasury at the end of the year, March
31, 1883, is $28,681 93.

The aggregate of sales has been $195,420 02. This aggre-
gate does not agree with the Treasurer's account, because it
includes credit sales, while that account exhibits only cash re-
ceived. Particulars of receipts and expenditures may be found
in the Treasurer's report and statements, further on in this
report.

30 FORTY-FIFTH ANNUAL REPORT [May,

THE

MISSIONARY DEPARTMENT

OF THE

BOARD OF PUBLICATION.

The Board has faithfully carried out the directions given to
it by the last General Assembly. A separation as complete as
practicable has been maintained between the publishing and the
benevolent departments. The office of Superintendent of Mis-
sionary Work has been abolished and its duties transferred to
the Corresponding Secretary. The four gentlemen who had
served the Board as District Superintendents retired from that
position on the first day of October last, with the thanks of
the Board for the faithful and efficient services they had ren-
dered during the years in which they had severally held to it
that relation. The work of colportage, including the selection
and appointment of colporteurs, has been placed under the ex-
clusive supervision of the Corresponding Secretary and the
Missionary Committee of the Board. The Missionary Depart-
ment, in its instructions to the colporteurs, has laid fresh and
urgent emphasis upon their work of religious visitation, gra-
tuitous distribution and Sabbath-school work among the spirit-
ually destitute. It has also sought to make a larger use than
ever of pastors, missionaries and other voluntary helpers in
securing the wider diffusion of the Board's literature, wherever
it could judiciously be done.

THE WORK OF THE YEAR.

For the first time in several years the missionary work of the
Board has passed through the year without any indebtedness
on the part of its Missionary Fund. Very near the close of

1883.] OF THE BOARD OF PUBLICATION. 31

the preceding year, the Board itself, by a large appropriation
to the Fund from the profits of its business, placed this depart-
ment in a position which has enabled it to perform its work
with more freedom and earnestness than it could otherwise
have done. And this position, its steady income from the con-
tributions of the churches, with constant care and economy in
its expenditures, has enabled it to maintain until now.

Demands for missionary work, both in the employment of
colporteurs and through grants of the Board's publications,
have been constant and importunate. These demands have
been met so far as possible. Some of our former colporteurs
have retired from service, and have been replaced by new ones.
But no new colporteur has been commissioned without earnest
efforts to obtain, previously, ample and positive testimony in
regard to his qualificatiojis, physical, intellectual and spiritual,
for the work. No one has been appointed without a previous
personal correspondence between himself and the Correspond-
ing Secretary, or without his having read the Board's printed
" Instructions " to its colporteurs, and having promised to give
faithful obedience to all the requirements contained therein.
Nor has any one been sent to labor in the bounds of any Pres-
bytery without first obtaining the recommendation of that
Presbytery or of its Standing Committee on Publication, that
he should be so sent. The gifts required for this work are
peculiar and rare. It is not an easy thing to secure a first-rate
colporteur. But the gracious Lord of the harvest has sent to
us some laborers through whom we hope that many sheaves
shall be gathered into his garners.

Many of these colporteurs have fields of vast extent, so vast
that only approximately can they be properly cultivated. Had
the Board the men and the money to sustain so many, it would be
a source of unspeakable and incalculable blessing to our Church
to have one colporteur actively at work in every Presbytery
connected with our General Assembly. But, alas I the Board
has neither the men nor the money. We trust the time is
coming when the Lord will put it into the hearts of his people
to furnish enough of both. Meanwhile, many of our colpor-

32 FORTY-FIFTH ANNUAL REPORT [May,

teurs extend their labors over two or even more continuous
Presbyteries, doing what they can to sow the good seed in
alternate quarters or half-years in each Presbytery.

The entire number of colporteurs in the field during the
whole or portions of the year has been 49, who have labored
in 33 Synods and 64 Presbyteries. These have distributed
during the year 32,139 volumes by sale, while 33,326 volumes
and 3,822,800 pages of tracts and periodicals have been gratu-
itously distributed by them and by the Missionary Committee
acting through large numbers of voluntary, unpaid and uncom-
missioned distributors. The commissioned colporteurs have
also visited 56,651 families, with a large majority of which they
have held religious conversation and prayer, accompanied also
usually by the reading of the Holy Scriptures. They also
report having held 1840 prayer-meetings and other religious
services as opportunities occurred. Details of this work are
given in the colportage tables printed further on in this Report.

This is an important quantity of pure religious truth to
disseminate mainly among the destitute and needy. And if
accompanied by the blessed and almighty influences of the
Holy Spirit, what measure of blessing is too large to expect
from it ? And we have precious evidences that the Holy Spirit
does attend and bless the truth distributed by these humble
laborers. The correspondence of the Board, coming not only
from these colporteurs themselves, but from pastors and others
who are close observers of their labors and thoroughly cog-
nizant of the facts, affords abundant and delightful testimony
to the enlightening, convincing, converting and sanctifying
power which accompanies the truth thus scattered.

OUR COLPORTEURS AND SABBATH-SCHOOLS.

It is a part of the duty of every colporteur of the Board to
organize new Sabbath-schools in destitute places on his field
wherever he finds it practicable, and to supply them with
the library books, catechisms, lesson helps, papers and other
facilities published by the Board. It is also his duty to visit

1883.] OF THE BOARD OF PUBLICATION. 33

and encourage, so far as he can, all Sabbath-schools, especially
such as are feeble, on his field. This part of his work grows
in importance and value every year. It has been found in
very many cases to prepare the way for a demand for the home
missionary, and in not a few instances has been a first step
towards the organization of flourishing Presbyterian churches.

The colporteurs report that during the past year they have
organized 72 new schools in such destitute localities. They
have also visited and encouraged 1172 schools during the year,
into many of which they have infused new life, and in not a
few instances have prevented their extinction. Large numbers
of children have thus begun to receive regular Sabbath in-
struction in the blessed truths of the Bible and to feel the
benign influence of the Christian religion.

This branch of our colportage work was begun eight years
ago, since which time the Board's colporteurs have organized
and nurtured 712 Sabbath-schools, and have visited and aided
10,760 schools. Over twenty thousand children have thus
begun to receive instruction in the Holy Scriptures and to be
led in the path towards happiness in this life and the eternal
happiness of heaven, instead of being left to ignorance of God,
to Sabbath-breaking and all their fearful consequences.

WILL OUR SABBATH-SCHOOLS HELP?

Thousands of Sabbath-schools connected with our Presby-^
terian churches are enjoying without stint the regular use of
library books, papers and all the recently- devised facilities for
Sabbath instruction. They are receiving regular, affectionate
and wise instructions from teachers every Sabbath. Will they
not gladly help this Board to furnish similar supplies and in-
structions to poor and needy children who cannot supply them-
selves, and whose parents cannot or will not do so for them ?
Surely no other cause can have a more appropriate place in the
prayers and the gifts of our favored Sabbath-schools. Yet it is
a sad fact that while our Presbyterian Sabbath-schools raise
every year in the aggregate a very large amount of money,
comparatively few of them send contributions to the Missionary
3

34 FORTY-FIFTH ANNUAL REPORT [May,

Fund of this Board to help it gather the neglected and untaught
children in destitute places, and to place in their hands such
books and helps as they themselves enjoy abundantly. We
earnestly appeal to all our Sabbath-schools for their help in the
prosecution of this important branch of the Board's work.

We do also respectfully urge our pastors and Sabbath-school
superintendents to press this matter upon the attention of their
schools, and to secure and send us contributions. The General
Assembly has repeatedly recommended that this should be done.
The last General Assembly unanimously adopted the following
resolution :

That pastors and sessions be urgently requested to maintain a careful
supervision of the objects for which collections are made in the Sabbath-
schools, and to secure their contributions to our own benevolent causes,
giving due prominence to the Sabbath-school toork of this Board.
[Minutes of 1882, pp. 48, 49.)

SABBATH-SCHOOL WORK.

The Rev. James A. Worden, D.D., Secretary of Sabbath-
school Work, submits the following as his report of that work
during the past year :

To God I render thanks for constant evidences of divine guidance and
blessing upon this work during another year. That there has been sub-
stantial progress in this agency of the Church the past year is certain.

I. From the greater thoroughness in Bible teaching in our Sabbath-
schools.

From all quarters comes the intelligence that teachers are more careful
in their preparation and scholars more studious of the Scripture lessons
at home. More than ever before, time and labor are devoted to faithful
instruction, judicious exposition of Scripture and to its practical appli-
cation.

The study last year of the entire Gospel according to Mark in regular
order proved unusually interesting and profitable. Perhaps never before
in the history of the Church has the life of Christ been so widely and
carefully studied as by our Sabbath-schools in 1882. Out of the sixty
thousand teachers in our Church there are many thousands who are
studying to approve themselves unto God, workmen that need not to be
ashamed. This improvement in Bible teaching is partly due to the
general interest in Bible work which is one of the signs of the times.

1883.] OF THE BOARD OF PUBLICATION. 35

It is still more due to the infusion into the Sabbath-school of the life,
authority and sanctified learning of the Presbyterian Church.

1. It is more than ever manifest that our Sessions are aflfectionately
caring for and overseeing the Bible teaching of their schools.

2. Our Presbyteries are almost without exception supervising and
elevating the Sabbath-school work of their churches, systematizing
and extending it. Almost all our Presbyteries, through their perma-
nent Sabbath-school committees, are greatly adding to the efficiency
of Bible instruction in their bounds. To mention even half of these,
space forbids. But among them are the Presbyteries of Cincinnati (first
in this work), Northumberland, Huntingdon, Carlisle, Steuben, Chester,
Westchester, Steubenville, St. Louis, Chicago, New York city, Pitts-
burgh, Philadelphia, Newark, Newton, Jersey City, Bingham ton, Cayuga,
Albany, etc., etc.

3. Presbyteries provide Institutes for the improvement of Sabbath-
school workers. By their means new enthusiasm is aroused, new
methods are suggested and eff"orts for better work encouraged.

It may aid in estimating the wide extent and popularity of this Insti-
tute work to glance at the list of places at which, the past year, the
Secretary has been permitted to participate in these meetings :

April 5 and 6, 1882, Chambers Church, Philadelphia ; April 12 and
13, First Church, Newark, N. J. ; May 11 and 12, First Church, Cov-
ington, Ky. ; May 16 and 17, Illinois State Convention, Champaign, 111. ;
May 29 and 30, Hillsboro', 111. ; May 31 and June 1, Sparta, 111. ; June
4, Pittsburgh, Pa. ; June 6 and 7, Jamestown, Pa. ; September 20 and
21, Coventry, N. Y. ; September 25 and 26, Fredonia, N. Y. ; October
10, Newburyport, Mass. ; October 27 and 28, Washington, D. C. ; No-
vember 2-5, Rochester, N. Y. ; November 15 and 16, Bridgeton, N. J. ;
November 20-24, Normal Class, Boston, Mass. ; December 10-12, Wash-
ington Ave., St. Louis, Mo. ; December 18-20, Fourth Church, Chicago,
111. ; February 11-13, Albany, N. Y.

Perhaps the most important Institute of the year was held by the
Sabbath-School Committee of New York Presbytery, March 11-13, 1883,
in the Fourth Avenue Presbyterian Chui-ch (Rev. Dr. Howard Crosby,
pastor), under the conduct of the Secretary of Sabbath-school Work.
Rev. Dr. Erskine N. White, the efficient and successful chairman of that
committee, was aided by the other members and by many of our most
prominent ministers and laymen of that city.

The Synod of New Jersey, through its Sabbath-School Committee,
Rev. Alexander Proudfit, chairman, held another successful Seaside
Assembly at Asbury Park, N. J., August 1-15, 1882. Special days
were devoted to the great causes, e. g., Foreign Missions, Home Missions,
Temperance, etc., etc. Normal classes were held daily. Hebrew and
Greek reviews were given, etc. It was attended by such multitudes and

36 FORTY-FIFTH ANNUAL REPORT [May,

its meetings proved so profitable that the Synod of New Jersey, after
careful consideration and discussion, cordially approved it.

The Secretary also visited the Chautauqua Assembly and addressed
it, by request, upon "The Sabbath-Sohool Work in the Presbyterian
Church."

A thought of the kind of men who attend and instruct these meetings
will vindicate the dignity of this Institute work. Among them are
Rev. Drs. Archibald A. Hodge, John Hall, W. Henry Green, Francis
L. Patton, Charles A. Briggs, Howard Crosby, Charles S. Robinson,
Marvin R. Vincent, William M. Blackburn, Abbott E. Kittridge, Her-
rick Johnson, James H. Brookes, Samuel J. Niccolls, Samuel J. Wilson,
Theodore L. Cuyler, Willis J. Beecher, Thomas H. Robinson, etc., etc.
A work carried on by such men can lack neither inherent worth nor
thorough instruction.

4. Another means employed by the Secretary of this work has been
the sending out of letters full of information and suggestions concerning
Sabbath-school work to all our Synods, Presbyteries, superintendents
and teachers. By private correspondence with pastors and superin-
tendents, by Sabbath ministrations in pulpits, by frequent communi-
cations in our lesson helps, by writing suggestions for teaching for every
lesson in the year, in The Westminster Teacher, he has labored,
according to his ability, to improve the teaching of God's word in the
Presbyterian Church. He has also pressed the organization and conduct
of Normal Classes upon the attention of our people. This latter work
is going forward with the best results.

II. More complete statistics are being secured from the Sabbath-schools.

III. Our theological seminai'ies are taking a deep interest in prepar-
ing our future pastors for their position and duties in the Sabbath-
schools, In all of these seminaries instruction is given on these im-
portant matters by the Professors. By request the Secretary of this
work gave a course of lectures on Sabbath-schools to the senior class of
Princeton Theological Seminary, and also addressed on this subject the
students of the Theological Seminary of the Northwest at Chicago.

IV. A result of the closer identification of the Sabbath-school with
the church is that the benevolent contributions of our Sabbath scholars
are being turned into the treasuries of the Boards of the General As-
sembly.

V. In many places increased attention is given to the erection of
modern structures suitable for Sabbath-school purposes. The Secretary
has attended the dedication of some of these noble buildings, e. g., at
Harrisburg and at Darby, Pa. From inquiries as to the best plans, etc.,
for such structures, coming from many churches, it is clear that the
next year will witness ir.any more erected by the wise liberality of our
PresVjyterian people.

1883.] OF THE BOARD OF PUBLICATION. 37

The Sabbath-school Committee of the Board has appointed a sub-
committee to collect information on Sabbath-school architecture.

VI. The past year lias been remarkable for the large accession to the
full communion of churches from the Sabbath-schools. Many of the
" times of refreshing" enjoyed during the past few months may be de-
nominated Sabbath-school revivals. Thousands of our young people
have been hopefully converted and have confessed Christ. The converts
received from the Sabbath-schools are in many respects most valuable.
They have been instructed Sabbath after Sabbath before their admission
to full membership in the church. And after their reception they are
"disciples" taught every Lord's day by faithful instructors. Their
steadfastness and growth are thus assured. These encouraging results
of Sabbath-school work are also evidences that our teachers are laboring
more prayerfully and in reliance on the Holy Spirit. Many schools hold
regular meetings for prayer, and Saturday afternoon and evening are by
agreement kept by thousands of our teachers in secret prayer for God's
blessing on all our Sabbath-schools.

I cannot close this brief record of this year's Bible teaching in the
Presbyterian Church without repeating Psalm cxv. 1 : '• Not unto us,
0 Lord, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory."

GRANTS OF THE MISSIONARY COMMITTEE.

Through its Missionary Committee the Board has, according
to the means at its disposal for this use, gladly made grants
during the year to parties needing and soliciting help. These
have been given to Sabbath-schools, to pastors, to missionaries,
to charitable institutions, and to Christian people generally who
have made application. The grants of the year have been 460
in number, and have been extended to 37 states and territories
of our Union. Not a few have been sent to the Freedmen's
churches and Sabbath-schools in the South. Some have also
been sent to China, Japan, India, Persia, Syria, Liberia,
Mexico, Brazil and our own Indian tribes. In these grants
the Missionary Committee has given 13,669 volumes and
1,729,131 pages of tracts and periodicals.

IMPERATIVE NEED OF COLPORTAGE WORK.

The swelling tide of our population, and its steady diffusion
over an area more and more vast, cause more and more im-

38 FORTY-FIFTH ANNUAL REPORT [May,

perious calls to come every year for an expansion of this work.
Our Presbyterian churches need it. For their own instruc-
tion and edification they need to have a good Christian and
Calvinistic literature placed in the hands and the homes of
their members. They need to have our Church standards and
works exhibiting, illustrating and defending their doctrines
widely read and pondered. They need books and tracts to
expose and counteract the errors and practices so industriously
propagated around and among them.

Great masses of irreligious and non-church-going people need
this work. Pastors, no matter how faithful and industrious,
cannot fully reach and care for these ungodly multitudes. The
colporteur, with his books and tracts, may reach and benefit
great numbers perishing for lack of knowledge under the very
shadows of our churches.

And what better can be done for these millions in our land,
who are living and dying beyond the reach of church privileges,
than to send to their homes the colporteur with his religious
books and tracts ? There is absolutely no other human help or
hope for these multitudes living in the scattered homes of the
East and the West, the North and the South. There are not
ministers enough, nor at our present rate of increase will there
be enough in long years to come, to carry to them the preached
gospel. Let them have the word of life upon the printed page.
Without it, scores of millions will surely perish.

TESTIMONIES FROM THE FIELD.

Let us hear how this Board's work is received on the fields
where its work is done. Let us know how it is spoken of in
widely-separated portions of our country, and what efiects it
produces where it is carried on. And to learn this let us have
a few extracts from the correspondence of the past year.
Similar extracts might be given to almost any extent. We
can present only a few.

Colporteurs are Pioneers. — The excellent colporteur of the Board
in southern California says : " The colporteurs of the Board of Publica-

1883.] OF THE BOARD OF PUBLICATION. 39

tion go into neglected places and organize Sabbath-schools, which often
develop into strong churches. Such has been my experience in several
instances. Three of the nevr vSabbath-schools I have organized have been
developed into promising churches, which to-day are monuments to the
wisdom of the colportage work. Whenever a people meet regularly on
the Sabbath to study the word of God they soon feel the importance of hav-
ing the gospel preached and a church organized. Then they send for a
minister, who establishes a church and sets up the banner of the cross.
Therefore, if it is important to sustain the home missionary, it is import-
ant to sustain the colporteur, who prepares the way for him, and with-
out whose aid success would be far more diflScult. Many places where
Sabbath-schools and churches can be organized in the new states are
now within our reach. If not possessed at once they will pass away
from us forever. Nothing hinders us from taking possession of these
fields that are open, but lack of funds. Let all the churches help in
this work ; let Sabbath-schools help ; let every Presbyterian help.
By their willingness to help they will in a great measure decide the
question whether these great states and territories shall be filled with
a Christian or with a godless people. The work grows so fast that the
only way to keep up with it is to respond noio, and to respond liber-
ally."

The Way Prepared. — A Minnesota pastor says : " We were ascend-
ing a long mountain range in Minnesota, anxious to reach the summit
before night. Coming to a turn in the road, my travelling companion
dii'ected my attention to a church spire a few miles distant on the
north. Lifted above the trees, and glittering in the light of the setting
sun, it was a pleasant sight and wholly unexpected, for our Avay led
through an almost unbroken forest. My friend, who was a clergyman,
having heard that there was a settlement in that isolated spot, had
visited it previous to the time of which I write. To his surprise the
first family he met were Christians, and so, as he afterward discovered,
were the most of the people. And how came they to be such ? From
what source did they obtain their knowledge of Christ and Christian
duty? Let them tell their own story. There had come a colporteur of
the Board of Publication that way a few years before, who distributed
tracts and religious books, talked with the people about Christ and a
world to come, prayed with them, and then passed on. Soon a religious
interest sprung up and many were converted. The place was a Goshen,
that seemed to have dropped down out of heaven amid the mountain
solitudes. My friend with others organized a church, and assisted them
to erect a simple house of worship. Now and then some evangelical
minister goes there and preaches to the simple-minded people who are
on their way to the good land and Mount Lebanon beyond the river. I
never think of the great work of colportage, than which there is none

40 FORTY-FIFTH ANNUAL REPORT [May,

more Christ-like, that I do not recall that pleasant incident, and the
little church spire seems ever pointing heavenward. God grant us an
awakened interest in this department of Christian work, and more
prayer for the humble colporteur of the Board of Publication threading
the by-paths of this desert world."

Hardships. — The life of a colporteur in a new country involves many
hardships. Yet these are borne by these devoted servants of Christ
most cheerfully for his sake and for the sake of doing good. A faith-
ful colporteur of the Board of Publication laboring in Dakota writes :
" Travelling in Dakota is attended with many inconveniences. In
many parts of the country there are yet very few people, and it is difficult
to obtain lodgings, as their houses are very small. In summer I have
often had to sleep by the side of a hay-stack ; and in winter I have
many a time brought into the house an armful of hay and spread it in a
corner of the room, laid my horse-blanket over it, my buggy-cushion for
a pillow, my buifalo robe for a covering, and laid myself down to rest
after thanking God for his guidance and protection and asking him to
bless the labors of the day."

Which of our readers would be willing to endure such hardness
for the good of others ? And if the self-denying colporteur is ready
to do it in oi-der to carry the gospel on the printed page to the scat-
tered people in the frontier settlements, ought he not to be sustained
by the prayers and gifts of those who stay comfortably in their own
houses ?

A Lion in the Way. — One of the colporteurs of the Board of Publi-
cation writes from Michigan: "The superintendent of our Sabbath-
school said, ' I wish I could go with you for a week or two in your
colportage work, it would give me such an inspiration that I would
come back a new man for my work in my Sabbath-school.' So we set
forth together. Looking from the car windows was not hard labor, and
the good brother waxed eloquent upon the subject of Sabbath-school
missionary work, — how pleasant it was, etc. Finally the train stopped,
and with our satchels we were soon out upon the — not upon the plat-
form, for there was none, nor upon the ground, for there were eighteen
inches of snow at least. ' Where is the team ?' ' Team ?' said I ; ' our
friends have no team, horse or ox, in the district where we are going.'
* Will you get a livery ?' ' Do you see a livery stable ?' said I ; and if
there was one, our Board of Publication could not pay us for such ex-
travagance. So, while the colporteur takes his lonely way through the
snow, on foot, the ten miles, our friend is waiting for a down train to
take him out of the ' horrid woods,' a wiser if not a better man. Could
he have seen little Grade's father the next morning, with her on his
back, wading through the snow, for a little more than a mile, and Mrs.
L with a pair of her husband's boots on following him through the

1883.] OF THE BOARD OF PUBLICATION. 41

snow for two miles to reach the Sabbath-school in the log school-house,
he would have blushed for very shame."

The Board's Work in Texas. — Texas is a broad and fertile field,
which, if well sown with gospel truth, will bring forth an abundant
spiritual harvest. The colporteur of the Board of Publication laboring
there writes that within two years he has travelled about four thousand
miles ; has visited more or less extensively, in seventeen counties, over
one thousand families ; and with but three or four exceptions has left
some religious reading in every family. He has met many who have
never heard a sermon from a Presbyterian preacher, and mere curiosity
sometimes leads persons to study his books, tracts and catechisms.
Thus to thousands of souls the gospel has been preached, who, in all
probability, would never otherwise have heard it. Will not our
Presbyterian churches enable the Board to send more men to
Texas ?

CoLPORTAGE IN NEBRASKA. — Here is a little glimpse of the colporteur's
work in a new state. A colporteur of the Board of Publication who toils
early and late writes as follows : "My field covers the northern half of
the state of Nebraska. I have learned that there is another colporteur
of the Board in the southern part of the state, but I have never met him.
My faithful horse has travelled three thousand five hundred miles since
last July, most of the time barefooted. He has been kept much on the
grassy middle of the road, which has kept his hoofs from wearing out.
I have found the people glad to see me and ready to buy my books where
they had money. But a very general reply was 'we have no money.'
Some of these families were really objects of chai-ity. Others have
bright prospects, but no money. I call from house to house, talk and
pray with them and do all I can to encourage them. I sell a book occa-
sionally, and give them tracts, papers, catechisms and now and then a
suitable book. And it does seem to do them good. Oh that our friends
in the East would give more liberally to aid the Board of Publication in
scattering its good books and tracts more freely among the destitute in
Nebraska!"

A Christian Awakened. — A colporteur of the Board writes from
New Jersey : " A young wife, a member of one of our inland churches,
had moved with her husband to the Atlantic shore. She had neglected
the means of grace, until she had grown cold and careless. My visit
appeared to awaken her interest, so that she, with her husband, began
to attend the evening meetings held about three miles from their resi-
dence. She was not only awakened, but became deeply intei*ested and
concerned for her husband also. He was not only out of Christ, but in
danger from growing drinking habits and bad associations. That hus-
band is now rejoicing, with his wife, in the Lord Jesus Christ. Scattered
sheep of the flock are thus not only found, but brought back into the

42 FORTY-FIFTH ANNUAL REPORT [May,

church from which they have wandered, by the colportage work of our
Board."

A Change in a Home. — A letter from the excellent colporteur of the
Board of Publication in the Indian Territory furnishes the following
striking incident: '" Some time ago I stopped my team in front of a log
cabin. On entering the cabin I found a man, his wife and four children.
These people were not poor in this world's goods, yet their cabin was
the very picture of poverty. Everything was untidy. The children
were ragged and unwashed, the husband and wife not much better.
The husband was an infidel. The wife had been well brought up, but
for years she had neglected her family. ' Nobody cared for me,' said
she, ' and I cared for nobody.' The two older children could read. I
talked to them and told the mother that Christ cared for her. She made
no reply, but I could see tears in her eyes. I showed them my books
and asked them to buy. The reply was, ' we have no money.' Before
leaving I gave them some tracts and papers.

" The next day, as I was passing their cabin, a little girl ran out and
called me, saying, ' Mam says, will you take molasses for some books?"
I said I would, and sold them a Bible, Bunyan's PiUjrirri's Progress,
and Jennie PrindWs Home. Now look at the results. The children
read the book, Jennie PrindWs Home, and acted on its teachings, say-
ing, ' Let's do like the children in the book.' A reformation was begun
in that household. In fact it was Jennie Prindle over again. The
mother escaped from Giant Despair. She made a profession of her faith
in Christ. There was a great change in that home, from dirt to cleanli-
ness, from despair to hope. A few months later this family bought a
parlor organ, and the oldest girl now plays many hymn tunes. The
mother said to me, ' It was a blessed day for me when you took the mo-
lasses in pay for books.' The man said to me some time after my first
visit, ' If there were more men going about like you, with the Bible and
good books, there would be less infidelity in the world.'

" Why should there not be * more men ' doing such work ? Cannot
the Presbyterian church afiford to send out and sustain more men through
its Board of Publication? Can the church afford to limit this work?
God grant that the cry — the earnest cry — may be, ' Let the work go for-
ward and let it be greatly enlarged.' "

Good Work in Texas. — An excellent colporteur of the Board of Pub-
lication, who is traversing with his books and tracts the broad plains of
7'e.Tas, writes as follows about his work: " God has truly gone before
me and prepared the way. He has been with me in my humble efforts
to influence Christians to be more faithful and the enemies of Christ to
leave the service of sin and Satan and become followers of the dear
Saviour. I meet many arxious ones longing to find rest to their souls.
I endeavor to point these to him who said, ' Come unto me, all ye that

1883.] OF THE BOARD OF PUBLICATION. 43

labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.' A fevr days since
I met a lady who said she had long been seeking the way of salvation,
but all seemed dark and hopeless. How glad I was to find that I had a
tract. The Pastor and Inquirer^ exactly suited to her case. She prom-
ised to read it carefully and prayerfully, and to endeavor to give up all
for Jesus. May God bless every tract and book I have distributed.
Almost all whom I have visited urge me to call again."

Three Tracts. — A colporteur of the Board of Publication gave to a
lady two tracts, entitled The Belt Paid and The Bridge. She first
read them herself, then gave them to her husband, a merchant, who,
after reading, carried them with him and on every fitting occasion reads
them aloud to others, until now they are nearly worn out. Another
lady, after reading the tract A Wife's Influence, which the same col-
porteur had given her, exclaimed, " From this time I shall urge the duty
of family worship, and in case my husband refuses I will attend to it
myself. We must no longer live without worship in our family." And
she did as she said. All three of these tracts cost together less than two
cents ; yet how potent and how salutary their influence ! Let us send
the colporteur with such tracts all over our land.

Good Books Needed. — A pastor in loiva writes, after receiving a dona-
tion of books from the Presbyterian Board of Publication for his Sab-
bath-school : " I hardly know how to thank you for them. If you could
have seen the joy in the faces of the childi-en in our schools you would
know that their hearts were filled with gratitude. Indeed, many of our
children never saw a library in a Sabbath-school, and have nothing to
read that is of value. I can fully confirm the statement of a recent
writer from Iowa, who said that ' Infidels here are bold, defiant and ag-
gressive.' Their writings, tracts and papers are to be seen everywhere.
Police news, police gazettes, nickel stories, and every variety of sporting
papers are for sale at bookstores. It is poison, and nothing but poison,
everywhere. In view of these facts I hail the coming of good books as
one of God's greatest blessings. Allow me in the name of the children
of our school to thank the Board for the books."

Words of Encouragement. — Said a pastor in Missouri recently to a
colporteur of the Board, "When I was a youth just beginning to take
an interest in books, a colporteur of the Presbyterian Board of Publica-
tion stayed at my father's house one night. In the morning father
bought for me the Memoir of Robert Murray McCheyne, on condition
that I would read it. Looking back now over thirty years I can say that
book did me unspeakable good. I am sure.it helped to form my char-
acter for good, and it has power over me yet, so that McCheyne ' being
dead yet speaketh.' Let our Board go on distributing such works.
They are bread cast upon the waters. Good results shall be found all
along hereafter while the world stands."

44 FORTY-FIFTH ANNUAL REPORT [May,

The Shorter Catechism. — A colporteur of the Board of Publication
laboring in east Tennessee says: "The Shorter Catechism is royal diet
for Presbyterians of our day, even as it was for our fathers and mothers.
It is rather strong for dyspeptics it is true, but feeding on this meat many
boys and girls have grown great. I know that many Presbyterians, at
least in east Tennessee, still relish this food. I visited a family in De-
cember where the mother was a Presbyterian, but not being near any
church had not heard a sermon for seven years. She was very glad to
see me because I had Presbyterian books, especially the Shorter Cate-
chism. She wanted to instruct her children in the doctrines of our
Church. A few days after this I found, in another section, two families
in which the mothers were Presbyterians. They had no regular Pres-
byterian preaching, and the husband of one was a member of another
church. The first thing they called for was the Shorter Catechism for
their children. Now in my colportage work for our Board of Publica-
tion I find that this is a common experience. To me it is a great source of
pleasure and encouragement to find that even the sheep that are scattered
and without a pastor are hungry for sound doctrine ; that the lambs are
not all left to feed on the wind, but are cared for. Happy are they who
learn in their youth ' the chief end of man.^ "

Finding Jesus Early. — A colporteur of the Board of Publication
writes from Kansas : " I spent a night at a farm-house with a pleasant
family. The parents were Christians. There were several children in
the family. One little daughter, aged about eleven, seemed particularly
intelligent and attractive. On leaving I gave her a copy of Finding
Jesus Early. When I called again Maggie brought me the book asking
if I remembered giving it to her, and said, ' That book brought me to
Christ.' She expected to unite with the church at the next communion."

Visiting the Lonely. — A colporteur of the Board of Publication
while in Michigan came to a shanty in which was an old man of 85
years of age living alone. The only way to admit the light was through
a hole in the door. The only chair in the shanty was offered to the
visitor, who had to stand some time before he could see where to go.
The man had a Bible, in which he firmly believed. He had no other
reading of any kind. Some tracts were given him, which he said he
would keep till warm weather came, when he could sit outside and
read them. How Christ-like a work it is to seek these lonely and wan-
dering sheep, and to take to them the messages of love from the " good
Shepherd who gave his life for the sheep."

An Old Elder. — A pioijeer settler in Michigan came from Scotland
nearly fifty years ago. A colporteur of the Board of Publication found
him living with his son, who walks not in the ways of his father, but
curses and swears before his family. An evening was spent in religious
conversation, reading and prayer with the family. The old elder was

1883.] OF THE BOARD OF PUBLICATION. 45

cheered by this Christian fellowship, as he seldom had any one to speak
a word to him about his soul and the way of eternal life. Some tracts
were left with him, and a book was given to a grandchild Avho promised
to read them to her blind grandfather. Let us hope that a covenant-
keeping God will bless his own truth to the salvation of that house-
hold.

A Blessed Result. — A colporteur of the Board of Publication, labor-
ing in Kansas, gives the following result of a visit to a poor family :
•' After conversation and prayer as usual I left some good reading with
them. The reading of one of the tracts by one of the sons was the
means of his conversion, as he stated on his death-bed. The Holy Spirit
so impressed his mind when he read it that he at once accepted Christ
as his Saviour, taking him at his word, and now he said he could die
happy, trusting in Jesus. Among his last requests was this to his
mother: 'Please thank Mr. K. (the colporteur) for leaving that good
tract.' "

Books and Tracts Preaching in Texas. — The devoted and worthy col-
porteur of the Board who is laboring in the great state of Texas says :
" I learn that many, if not most, of our tracts are read by whole neigh-
borhoods, passing around like a circulating library. Some have even
been sent to friends in other states. Last week I called at a house where
I had stopped last spring. The family wanted more books for them-
selves, and some neighbors, who were far out of my way, had requested
them to buy some for them when I came again. Thus many who seldom
hear preaching are reading good books and tracts, which doubtless will
exert a beneficial influence upon them. Next to the living ministry
these printed pages, as silent ministers of Jesus, are doing a grand work,
holding the field and preparing the way for the coming of the preacher
and the church. And thus in many places, where other means now fail
to reach the people, to the poor by the printed page the gospel is
preached. The barriers that have hitherto hindered the work of the
Christian church in Texas are now being slowly but surely removed.
Capital, enterprise and advanced and nobler ideas are pouring in from
the older states and helping the Spartan band of noble workers who
have been laboring here for Chi-ist amidst long and wearisome dis-
couragements. What we now urgently need is a reinforcement of
Christian workers. Oh that the Board could send, not one or two, but
many, earnest colporteurs into this great and needy state."

Come to Jesus. — A colporteur of the Board of Publication laboring in
east Tennessee writes : " I gave the little book, Come to Jesus, to a wom-
an who was not a Christian. She told me afterwards that that book
was a blessed help to her in coming to Christ. She has since united
with the Presbyterian Church. The work was not much, but the result
was u-reat. So it often is in the blessed work of distributing good books.

46 FORTY-FIFTH ANNUAL REPORT [May,

The Holy Spirit does bless this work. Let such books be abundantly
scattered everywhere."

Not Heathen, but very Needv. — A colporteur of the Board of PuV>
lication writes from northern Michigan : " I do wish our ministers and
churches could understand how much comfort we administer to broken
and aching hearts. I am not visiting heathen in northern Michigan, but
men and women who have been brought up in our older states, in Can-
ada, in England, Ireland and Scotland — people who enjoyed religious
privileges. They are now here in the wilderness, strangers in a strange
land, having no one to care for their souls. I found one family from
England containing fourteen children, with good Christian parents. The
father had superintended a Sabbath-school in his native land. They are
now out of i-each of either church or Sabbath-school. That poor mother
was weeping over the condition of her fourteen children. I gave her a
supply of the Board's periodicals, so that they can now have a Sabbath-
school in their own home. No tongue can tell the joy these brought to
that whole household. Last Sabbath I organized a school in a village
where there had not been any, and had an attendance of forty scholars.
I expect that in three months there will be eighty," May such good
work go on.

Medicine for the Soul. — A few days since a man called to me from
his door, says a colporteur of the Board of Publication in northern Mis-
souri^ and asked if I had medicine in my satchel to sell. I entered his
house and told him I had not the kind of medicine he expected, but that
I had a prescription from the great Physician above which, if he would
follow it, would cure the worst of all diseases, sin, and secure for him
after death an eternal life of health and happiness in heaven. Said he,
" We cannot any of us read, but I want some of those papers that tell
how to be happy after death, and I will find some person to read them
to myself and my wife." I gathered that himself and his wife had suffered
many years from rheumatism. I gave him some suitable tracts, which
he took thanking me for them. The thought appeared for the first time
to enter his mind that though sickness was his lot on earth, he could
secure eternal health and happiness in heaven. With a prayer I left
him. Oh that our Presbyterian churches and Sabbath-schools would
send out, through their liberal contributions to the Board, enough col-
porteurs to distribute freely through all these great western states and
territories such soul medicine to the sin-sick and dying multitudes.

Colportage among the Mexicans. — At the commencement of my
labors among the Mexicans in California, says the earnest colporteur of
the Board in southern California, very few of them had ever seen a
Bible, and none of them -had any true knowledge of the way of life. As
a colporteur of the Board of Publication, I visited nearly all the Spanish-
speaking people in southern California and distributed among them

1883.] OP THE BOARD OF PUBLICATION. 47

Spanish Bibles and tracts, which were eagerly read. These prepared
the way for the preaching of the gospel among them, so that when a recent
convert from Romanism began his labors in Los Angeles, about two years
ago, he found the people ready to receive him and eager to hear the
gospel preached. His success w^as truly wonderful. It has grown until
there are now in Los Angeles Presbytery three Spanish-speaking mis-
sionaries, ministering to three Spanish churches which have been or-
ganized. There are also five other stations where the gospel is preached
in the Spanish language. The brethren having charge of these churches
and stations feel greatly encouraged, and prosecute their Mabors with
zeal and joy. These grand results had their origin in the humble labors
of a colporteur of the Board of Publication, by which he was commis-
sioned and is sustained. This Board appeals to every Presbyterian for
a contribution, however small, to enable it to send the word of life to
every family in our land.

" Blind Annie Lorimer." — While a colporteur of the Board of Pub-
lication was recently visiting a house in northern Missouri and showing
some of his books, the eyes of a lady happened to fall on the one entitled
Blind Annie Lorimer. She exclaimed, " I do hope you will sell that
book to all the young ladies you meet. It has been such a help to me.
The pure character described in that book has been a talisman to me in
many an hour when I was tempted to neglect Christian duty." It is a
precious book. But the Board of Publication sends out many others
equally good and adapted to benefit persons of all ages and conditions
in life. Let us have colporteurs enough to carry these to the homes of
every part of the great West.

God Blesses Good Books. — The teacher of a public school had been
converted. Her training had been adverse both to conversion and to
after-growth in grace. The influences of her home were thoroughly
ungodly. From the relation of some difiiculties in her experience, a
colporteur of the Board of Publication was led to place in her hand that
excellent volume, Religious Experience^ by Dr. Archibald Alexander.
He afterwards learned that she had been greatly benefited by that ad-
mirable spiritual guide. Not only so, but having received freely, she
had given freely. She placed the book in the hands of an accjuaiutance,
long a backslider and who was wasting away with consumption, who
by it was brought back to his first love. Who can tell how often God
may multiply the good seed thus sown? A very small sum made pos-
sible the gift of this book, which in a few months was blessed to the
comforting of one and the reclaiming of another of God's people. Eter-
nity alone will reveal the whole increase.

A Professing Christian Converted. — While passing on his way from
one town to another in Ohio, a colporteur of the Board of Publication
called to a young man at work near the road and gave him two little

48 FORTY-FIFTH ANNUAL REPORT [Maj,

tracts. Some time afterwards he met this same youncr man in a neigh-
boring city. He asked the colporteur for another copy of the same
tracts, and, as he received them, said, "When you gave me those tracts
by the wayside I was a professing Christian, but I did not intend to read
them. However, at my mother's request, I afterwards did so, and when
I came to some of the questions in them, I said, ' Does it i-equire this to
be a Christian ?' I read both tracts, and I became deeply convinced
that it took far more than a mere outward profession to make a Christian.
But I believe, yes, I know, that I am now a Christian, although I was
not before." These two tracts had been instrumental, through God"s
mercy, in opening the eyes of that young man to see his self-deception
and in converting his soul. Scatter the good seed everywhere with
humble, believing prayer to God for the accompanying power of his
Holy Spirit, and it will not be lost.

The Only One. — While visiting one day from house to house, says a
colporteur of the Board of Publication in Illinois, I called upon a certain
family. The wife, who was also the mother of several children, said to
me as I was leaving, " Oh how I thank you for coming to see us, for the
tracts you have given us, and for praying with us. You are the only
one who has called to talk with us about religion in the past twelve
years." Let us send more colporteurs to talk to such neglected families.

Tracts among the Mexicans. — The Board's colporteur in southern
California writes : " When I first entered on colportage work under a
commission from the Presbyterian Board of Publication, I paid much
attention to the Mexican population, who had been overlooked and neg-
lected, and were as sheep not having a shepherd. Many of them could
read Spanish, but they had no Bibles or religious books. In every place
I found them glad to receive the Spanish tracts I offered them, and I
noticed the great pleasure they manifested in reading these tracts. I
remember only one instance in which a tract was refused. I once gave
a Mexican a tract called Life of the blessed Virgin Mary. But he
politely I'eturned it, saying, ' I have no use for that book, but I will read
the others with pleasure.' He seemed to have lost all confidence in the
intercession of the Virgin Mary and other saints. In another place I
called on an influential Mexican family with a basket of books, sup-
posing they were Americans and could read English. The lady of the
house said she could not read English, and inquired whether I had any
Spanish books. I gave her several Spanish tracts, which she expressed
great surprise and delight at receiving. She said she would read them
herself and then read them to her neighbors. When I pa.ssed the house
some hours afterwai'ds, I noticed a dozen of her friends sitting in a semi-
circle on her portico and listening while she read aloud one of the tracts.
At that sight I felt repaid for all my toils. Is not a work like this
worthy of being sustained by the contributions of all Christians ?"

God's Way of Peace. — " A few weeks ago," says a colporteur of the
Board of Publication laboring in southern Illinois, "I met a gentleman
who doubted his own experience of religion, and finally had begun to
have doubts about the word of God. The little book bearing the above
title was placed in his hands. He read it carefully, and afterwards told
me, ' I now see my way more clearly than ever before.' I trust he had
indeed found ' God's way ofinace.' " Would that the colporteurs might
distribute thousands of these little volumes among those who, in every
part of our land, have never yet found that blessed way of peace.

What One Little Book Did. — The colporteur in southern Dakota found
in one of the prairie homes of that broad new region, miles away from
any stated means of grace in the way of public worship or preaching, a
sprightly matron. She had been born and reared in the Roman Catholic
church, but had married a Protestant husband, and had become dissatis-
fied with the church of her childhood. She was manifestly in an in-
quiring state of mind. He put into her hand and left with her that ex-
cellent publication of the Presbyterian Board known as The Pi-otestant
Catechism, setting forth the leading errors of the Romish Church. It
■seemed to be just that light for which she was longing, afibrding her
great satisfaction, and enabling her, by the blessing of God, to find peace
in believing in the Lord Jesus Christ. She no longer prays to the Holy
Virgin nor to any of the saints, nor does she look to the dictates of some
merely human priest for peace. Oh that such light might be diflfused
all over these vast frontier regions. The colporteur is needed every-
where with his books and tracts.

A Wanderer Brought Back. — A colporteur of the Board of Publi-
cation in northern Nebraska called some months ago on a man who was
ploughing near the roadside. He said he was a sheep strayed from the
fold, and was admonished to return and unite himself again with the
people of God. Some suitable tracts were given to him. These he first
read, then sent to his praying mother. His wife and himself are now
both rejoicing in the hope of the gospel, and have united themselves to
the church. Among the tracts given him were some on family prayer.
After reading these he said, " I am going to start family worship to-
night." And he did. He afterwards said, " I am now happy in trying
to do my duty."

Casting Bread upon the Waters. — A colporteur of the Board of
Publication writes ivom Michigan : "One Sabbath evening in summer,
as I reached a school-house where I had organized a Sunday-school the
Sabbath previous, I saw some eight or nine young men or boys, armed
with clubs, just about to enter the school-house. I asked them what
they were going to do. When they, looking around, saw who it was, they
said, 'We are going to clean out this institution.' After some urging
they threw away their cudgels and entered the house with me. They
4

50 FORTY-FIFTH ANNUAL REPORT [May,

■were very quiet while we were talking, and when we left the house some
of them accompanied us to our stopping-place for the night, anxious to
talk about the theme presented that evening, viz., the love of Christ.

Since then the church of B has ])een organized in that place, and a

number of my young friends who accompanied me from the school-house
that evening have united with the church. Surely it was ' bread cast
upon the water,' but the humble colporteur has seen it gathered into a
rich harvest."

Fruit Appearing. — A colporteur of the Board of Publication was
recently standing near the market place in a city in Ohio, when a man
drew near to whom he offered the tract entitled What can I do'?
The man immediately looked up, and with a pleasant recognition said,
" You gave me that same tract several years ago ; it set me a thinking,
and to-day I not only love Christ, but I am willing to confess him here
or anywhere, as the Saviour who has saved me from sin and death."'
What a blessed result fi'om giving a little tract ; and ought not the
Board's system of colportage, by which millions of pages of choice tracts
are distributed every year, to receive a generous support and a wide
extension ?

THE ANNUAL COLLECTION.

The fitst Sahhath in May has been designated by former
General Assemblies as the most suitable time for the churches
to take an annual collection for the Board's Missionary Fund.
Except where some other preferred arrangement has been made
for this cause, every pastor and stated supply is earnestly
requested on that day to present this important object to his
congregation and solicit their liberal aid.

All money given to the Board's Missionary Fund, whether
by churches or individuals, or received from legacies, is wholly
and carefully expended in carrying forward the Board's mis-
sionary or benevolent work. Notwithstanding the repeated
announcement of this fact in former Annual Reports, in various
circulars, in the Monthly Record and in other ways, there is a
strange confusion in the minds of many persons in regard to
this fact. Will each minister, therefore, when about to take his
collection for this cause, oblige the Board by stating distinctly
that the publishing and book-selling department of the Board
sustains itself wholly by its sales, and that all contributions of
churches and individuals are put into the Missionary Fund,
and are used exclusively in carrying forward the Board's mission-

1883.] OF THE BOARD OF EDUCATION. 51

ary and Sabbath-school work, in supporting the colporteurs, in
paying for books and tracts given away, and in defraying such
expenses as belong legitimately to this benevolent branch of the
Board's work ?

The number of churches which contributed to the Missionary
Fund during the year now under review is 2269. Would that
their number might be very greatly increased in the year to
come !

GRANTS OF BIBLES.

The Board would gratefully acknowledge generous grants of
Bibles and Testaments, in various languages, from the Amer-
ican Bible Society, for the use of its colporteurs.

HONORARY AND LIFE MEMBERS.

Honorary Membership in the Board of Publication is
granted to any donor paying one hundred dollars at one time
as a contribution to the Missionary Fund of the Board, or to
any one named by such donor. Honorary members have no
right to take any part in the proceedings of the Board, but
receive an engraved certificate of membership, with the priv-
ilege of drawing annually, without charge, three dollars' worth
of the Board's publications for life.

Life Membership is granted to persons paying thirty dol-
lars at one time to the Missionary Fund, or to any one named
by such donor. Life members have no right to take any part
in the proceedings of the Board, but receive an engraved cer-
tificate of membership, with the privilege of drawing annually
one dollar s worth of the Board's publications for life.

Both honorary and life members must apply for and draiv
their dues within the limits of each calendar year, otherwise
those dues are forfeited for that year. No arrearages of dues
for back years will be allowed.

All application for dues should be addressed to the Rev.
W. E. Schenck, D.D., Corresponding Secretary of the Board,
No. 1334 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, and signed by the life
or honorary member himself.

THE WESTMINSTER

SABBATH-SCHOOL HYMNAL

WILL BE ISSUED ABOUT AUGUST 1.

In response to a pressing demand, as well as to the recommendations
of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church, the Westminster
Sabbath-School Hymnal has been prepared by Rev. John W. Dulles,
D.D., with Mr. Theodore F. Seward as musical editor, and is published by
its Board of Publication. It aims to give, as to both hymns and tunes,
(1) what our young people can sing; (2) what they will sing; and
(3) what they ought to sing. A carefully-made selection from the
standard hymns of the Church gives permanent value to the book.
Among these invaluable gems of sacred song, preference has been given
to those most worthy of being stored in the memory, those most readily
grasped by the young and best adapted to hearty singing. Besides
these indispensable hymns of the Church, there is given a liberal selec-
tion, from the many books published for use in "gospel-meetings" and
in the Sabbath-school, of hymns and tunes deservedly favorites.
Original pieces of merit, with others from the best modern ecclesi-
astical music of England and the Continent, complete the collection.
It is believed that thus a volume has been prepared sound in its com-
position, whilst highly attractive and available for the service of song
in the Sabbath-school, and also fitted for use in the chapel and in
prayer-meeting. To pack as much as possible into the book without
unduly increasing its size and cost, hymns are given without the music
where the familiar tunes to which they are ordinarily sung are pretty
sure to be within easy reach.

The book contains two hundred and fifty hymns and chants, on one
hundred and ninety-two pages, 12mo. Its price is 35 cents, retail; to
churches and Sabbath-schools, in quantity, 30 cents.

An edition of the hymns only, without music, will be published and
sold at a lower rate.

The long experience, the good taste and skill, with the Christian
sympathy in the work, of the musical editor, Mr. Theodore F, Seward,
assures us of excellence in that department of our Westminster
Sabbath-School Hymnal, which is offered to the public with the
belief that it will be found truly serviceable, ministering gladness in
God's praise and spiritual profiting to those by whom it shall be used.
May the blessing of God rest upon all whose devotions it shall guide!

PRESBYTERIAN MINISTERS.

CONTAINING THE NAMES OF ALL THE

MINISTERS OF THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH IN THE
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

WITH REFERENCES TO THE PAGES ON WHICH THOSE NAMES
ARE FOUND IN ITS RECORDS AND MINUTES.

Prom A.D. 1706 to A.D. 1881.

COMPILED BY THE

REV. WILLIS J. BEECHER, D.D.

In .an overture to the General Assembly of 1880, attention was called to the fact
that no alphabetical index to the lists of ministers was published previous to the
New School Minutes of 1851 and the Old School Minutes of 1854. Hence the in-
formation contained in the early years is practically unavailable, whilst to secure it
with regard to ministers whose names occur in the later years involves a great ex-
penditure of time. Prof. Willis J. Beecher, D.I)., of Auburn Theological Seminary,
has, at immense labor, prepared such an index, giving the name of every minister
of the Presbyterian Church of the United States of America, from the beginning
of its recorded existence, and the years and pages on which it is found.

The book contains 600 pages, 8vo, and will be sold at .§5.00 {)er copy, net.

Dear Brother:

The information contained in this Report is designed
as much for the MEMBERS of the Church as for its OFFICERS.
// too much to read the ivliole from your -pulpit, will you not
read at least, the following:

1. The gross receipts for the last year are - $107,3^0

Cash balance from last year - - - - 1,723

Working Capital for the year - - - 109,063

2. The number of Churches erected during the year by
aid of the Board, 215, located in oJi- States and Territories,
and' under tJie care of 87 Presbyteries.

3- Average amount of aid to each Church, nearly $Ji86.

A. We have about 500 Churches without a house of worship.
All of these are dependent upon the Board of Home Missions.
Give [us the means to assist them in securing Sanctuaries, and
tliey will soon become self-supporting and contributitig.

5. To enable the Board to do its full icorh for the current
year, $200,000 is required. How much of this luill your
ChurcJb give ?

6. Any Church or individucd sending us $500 can have
the satisfaction of hnoiving that they have secured the com-
pletion of at least one Sanctuary, in which hundreds may
worship every Sabbath for years to come.

THIRTEENTH ANNUAL REPORT

OF

THE BOARD OF CHURCH ERECTION,

In presenting to the General AssemV^ly tlieir Thirteenth Annual
Report, the Board of Church Erection feel called upon to record
their sense of God's goodness in having spared the life and preserved
the health of all its members through the year. But altliough zue
have been preserved, and the work has been carried on, nevertheless
death has removed from us some of the best friends and most liberal
supporters this Board has ever had. Messrs J. R. Hills and R. L. Stuart
died within the last year. James Lenox and Alexander Stuart died
some time before, but their benefactions were continued for awhile
after their death. For the last ten years these four generous men
have carried nearly half the burden of our outlay, for which the
Church at large had the credit. These foui- men, being connected
with churches in the City of New York, their gifts for Church Erec-
tion were included in those of the churches to which they be-
longed, and swelled the amount to $35,000 or $40,000, but now it
has fallen to $6,400. Our Board feels this most deeply.

The past year has been one of great linancial prosperity to our
country at large. Abundant crops and prosperous business has
made money plentiful and speculation rife. But the spirit of liber-
ality has not kept pace with that of money-making. While millions
have been ventured and expended in hope of worldly gain, the
Church has failed to lay her tithes at the feet of Jesus for the
advancement of Ilis cause. The immense migration of our own citi-
zens to the West and South, and the still greater emigration from
foreign lands to this country renders more imperative than ever
before the work of home evangelization, which can make but little
permarieni advance without the work of Church Erection. For this

8 AN^^UAL REPORT.

off in the amount. Some of these Church contributions are so
very small that they cannot be acknowledged in the Minutes of the
Assembly, as there is no column for cents. We are thankful for the
ividoiv's mite loJien given hy the vndow ; but when a Church of 45
members sends us fifty cents, or another of 245 members sends one
dollar as an expression of gratitude for what they have received, we
feel gi-eatly disheartened, and disposed to pray "that their hearts may
he enlarged,'' and if so we arc sure their contributions will be enlarged
also. For several years past a consideraljle item in the list of our
receipts has come from the sale of wild land donated to the Board
years ago. This land has been nearly all sold, and receipts from this
source will soon fail us. When our Treasury w'as exhausted, and
we had not the means with wdiich to meet the pressing calls upon us,
$10,000 of accrued interest was taken from the Permanent Fund to
enable us in a measure to meet this necessity. We did not share in
the munificent legacies recently left to some of the other Boards of
the Church.

APPLICATIONS.

During the year we have received three hundred and six (306)
applications, formal and informal, calling for $204,390. Most of
these calls were for small sums, ranging from $100 to $500, to en-
able these poor unsheltered flocks to secure sanctuaries at a cost of
$1,500 or $2,000 ; but in some instances we have been asked (with
the indorsement of Presbytery) for as much as $5,000, to secure
buildings at a cost of from $15,000 to $30,000. For such work we
think this Board was not intended, and if we had the means (which
we certainly have not) we would not be justified by this Assembly
in using them thus, while so many poor churches without shelter are
knocking at our door for the small sum of three or four hundred
dollars. To this latter class we have felt it a privilege to respond to
the extent of our limited means, and when these have not been suf-
ficient it has been with pain that we have been obliged to offer them
less than they asked. Some of these applications did not fall
within the rules prescribed by the Assembly for our guidance, and
were therefore declined.

ANNUAL REPORT.

APPROPRIATIONS,

During tlie year grants have been made to 215 churches and
missions, amounting in the aggregate to $104,594, averaging $486 to
each Church. This is an increase of two churclies over last year.

A glance at the outline ma}) will show that Utah has received as
large a number of grants as any other State or Territory. There is
no portion of our land where the curse of sin is more foul and de-
structive, nor any that calls more loudly for the light of the gospel
and the cleansing influence of Christianity, and, God helping us, we
will give them. In Nebraska we have been liberal. In Iowa, Kan-
sas, and Texas we have done a large work in the way of sowing seed
from which we hope to reap a large harvest soon. Indeed, it is high
time now that from some of these churches that have been helped so
liberally, and have become self-sustaining, we shoald receive in
much larger proportion than we have as yet, that they may learn the
^^ greater blessedness of giving than of receiving." For the Freed men
in Virginia, North and South Carolina, we have granted liberal aid
for the erection of sixteen houses of worship. In most cases these
buildings answer the twofold purpose of Churcli and school, and are
a wonderful help to these poor people, who find it impossible to rent
or borrow a hull or church from the whites, A building of their own
of some kind is indis})ensable. Appropriations have bcen^aic? dur-
ing the year to 21(3 churches, amounting to $121,530. This is a
larger amount than in any previous year, and considerably larger than
our receipts. Had no provision been made at the time of granting
for the payment of these pledges, some of these churches would
have been in a bad condition, and in all probability their buildings
must have been saciificed to meet the claims of the workmen. We
are glad to sa}'- no Church has ever suffered in this way from any
delay on the part of the Board to meet its promise, when the con-
ditions have been fulfilled.

INSURANCE,

We have learned through the papers that during the year twentv
Presbyterian Churches have been injured or destroyed by fire — loss,
$104,425 ; insurance realized $50,425 ; total loss for want of insur-

10 ANNUAL REPORT.

ance, $54,000. Of these only two were insured through this Board,
On them no loss was sustained, the full amount being recovered by
us and paid over to the churches. The McFarland Home at Fort
Wrangle, destroyed by fire, was insured through this Board to the
extent of $4,000. Nearly all of this has already been paid (and the
balance will be so soon as the paj^ers are returned), and will cover
the expense of rebuilding. During the year 334 policies on as many
different buildings have been taken out to the amount of $310,404,
some of these are renewals. We have now in our safe 1,253 policies,
amounting to about one million of dollars. Fi'om the high character
of these companies, we feel confident in saying that sliould every one
of these buildings be destro3-ed by fire, not a dollar would be lost —
all the money would be promptly paid back by tlie companies. In
consequence of the large amount of our insurance, these companies
make a rebate of fifteen per cent, the benefit of which we give to the
churches.

Once more we would urge the churches that have received aid
from the Board on this condition of keeping up this insurance, to he
prompt m sending us the money for renewal, when notified that the
old policy has expired. We have had much trouble on this score.

ARCHITECTURAL PLANS AND DESIGNS,

In accordance with the wish expressed b}^ the last General Assem-
bly on this subject, we have increased the number of Church Designs
and Plans, which will greatly facilitate the work of church building,
and be a great saving to those weak cliurches unable to employ an
architect. As we cannot burden our Annual Report with many of
these drawiijgs, we have at considerable expense prepared and pub-
lished a Book of Designs, containing views and seating arrangements
for fifty-one churches and chapels. This pamphlet can be sentpo5^
paid to any of our own people who ])ropose to build, by their send-
ing us the name of the Church and of the Presbytery to which it
belongs, and fifty cents. As we do not propose to supply the ])ub-
lic at large, we must insist on the name of the Church and appli-
cant. It is now proposed to make a further advance in this depart-
ment of our work. Hitheito our aim has been to assist our feeble

ANNUAL EEPOKT. 11

clmrclies, by these plans and designs to secure at a small expense
sancturaries or houses of worship. The importance of well-con-
structed and well-ventilated Sabbath School rooms in connection with
our churches has forced itself upon our consideration, and shall in
future have a share of our attention. We are now in consultation
with some of our architects, and hope soon to furnish some designs
for such buildings, with the most approved methods of heating and
ventilating, also some plans for manses.

THE KIND OF BUILDINGS NEEDED.

On this important subject we can only repeat ivWi empliasis what
we have already said. The pi-evailing tendencjy of the times is to
the erection of fi)ie and costly buildings. This does not proceed so
much from a desire on the part of church members to make a dis-
play, as of speculators in town lots to enhance the value of their
property. To secure this end, they })romise liberal aid, and in some
instances make large subscri[)tions on condition that a building of
costly material and hirgc dimensions l)e erected, Plaving secured
their object, they often fail to pay. Overreaching themselves in
business, breaking down in health, or removing to some other place,
the ex})ectations they excited are not realized; the Church is left in
debt, and perhaps in an unfinished condition. This debt not only
depresses the spirits ojf those upon whom the responsibility rests, but
acts as an effectual barrier in the way of others joining them, as few
are so generous as to desire union with a Church in order to help
them to pay their indebtedness. In most communities a full house,
though small, is attractive^ while Q.large unjinished on(' with few worship-
pers is to most persons repulsive. We should aim to meet present wants
rather than to provide for f utiu-e necessities. A building may be so con-
structed as readily to admit of enlargement when necesgity calls for
it, and the means can then be much more easilj?" secured than when
no such necessity exists. There are a number of our churches at
this time on the stool of rej^entance for having undertaken buildings
more costly than tliey are able to com[)lete or pay for, and hence the
number of solicitors who are canvassing our cities and towns to raise
money to pay debts and accumiulated interest on debts thus unwisely
contracted. To prevent the recurrence of such cases, the Board
must insist that it is not wise for weak churches preparing to build

12 AiSr:N'UAL report.

to go in tlicir estimate of cost much beyond wliat they can raise in
their own communities, togetlier with what the Board can give them.

In conchision we would respectfuUi/ and earneslhj say to this vener-
able Assembly that has organized this Board and prescribed the
rules b}^ which it is governed in its administrations, if you expect us
to do the work you have assigned to us, and to the extent so impera-
tively demanded, you must furnish us with more ample means. Church
contributions (as at present) at the average of eight cents per annum
for each communicant will not meet the necessities of the case — they
should be more than doubled. Had the people of God given on this
meager scale in the times of David and Solomon, the Temple of God
had not been built, nor the prayer of thanksgiving ascended to God
for having made them " able to offer so willingly unto the Lord."
Two hundred thousand dollars for this year could not be better
expended for the strengthening and establishing of our beloved
Church, and fitting her for her great work of evangelizing the
world, than by giving it to this Board for multipl_ying these bul-
warks of Zion.

It only remains for us to remind the Assembly that the term of
office of the following members of the Board expires at this time,
and that it devolves upon the Assembly to fill the vacancies :

Report of Standing Committee of Generai Assemlily.

Your Standing Committee on Church Erection respectfully sub-
mit the following report :

An examination of the minutes and thirteenth annual re])ort of the
Board disclosed unwonted fidelity and diligence by the officers and
members of this Board, to the great trust committed to them ; for
it must be conceded that this branch of our church work is not
second iu innwrtance to any other. The church property alone en-
trusted to its guardianship amounting in value to more that two
million (2,000,000) of dollars.

If it is the duty of our church to go forward and. organize
churches, it is certainly no less a duty to stand by these little flocks
and aid them until the}' have a house to dwell in. If we would se-
cure and perpetuate the fruits from the labors of our Home Mission-
aries, this part of the work must not be neglected.

The Board of Church Erection stands as the com})lement of the
Home Mission Board. IMie missionary and the sanctuary secured
and the congregation feels that it possesses a home in which to
dwell, where it can work and worship.

If God has united so closely these two branches of our church
work, let not man put them asunder, but with honest heart and
willing hand carry them forward together.

Your committee desire to present some of the most important
facts gathered from the report of the past year.

There has been a falling off in the receipts from those of last year
of $48,122. This is partly accounted for in the deaths of some of the
most liberal supporters of this Board ; and in this connection the sur-
prising fact is brought to our notice, that your (four) generous
Christian men of New York, (all of whom have now gone to their
reward,) have for the last ten years given about one-half of all
a.ccredited to the churches for this Board.

We find the following startling statement in the annuul report :
*' Never, in any one year, have we received so many pressing calls

14 ciiriicir erpxtion,

for help, and never have we heen U^ss able to respond to these
earnest calls."

But with a working capital of $109,000, 215 churches have been
completed, the average aid l)eing $486.

These cliurches are located in thirty-four states and territories, ex-
tending from eastern New York to the Pacific coast, and from
Alaska to Florida, This Board has aided in the erection of sixteen
houses of worship for the Freedmen — these buildings answering the
two-fold purpose of church and school, hence are doubly valuable to
the Freedmen to whom the school is a necessity.

The policy by which the funds of this Board are protected, (by
mortgage and insurance) will commend itself to every wise business
man, when the Secretary can place the following statement in his
annual report, viz : " We feel confident in saying, that should every
one of these buildings be destroyed by fire, not a dollar would be
lost," we think the Board is approximating perfection, as to the care
of the funds invested.

We call special attention to the action of this council in standing
firm against the tendency of the times ; to erect fine and costly
buildings and in some instances even including parsonages, and
hence to call for large appropriations on the plea that it is a wise
economy to build so as to meet the wants of the near future.

While it is possil)lc, that there are excejTtions to the rule, yet this
Board was not established to aid in building costly churches, and it
is questionable whether any of its funds should ever be diverted to
such a purj^ose ; and Presbyteries asking the Board to go beyond the
limit of $1,000 to any one church, ought to remember the hundreds,
if not thousands of our churches which are content to worship for
the present in church buildings costing $2,000 or less, and hence ex-
cuse themselves from contributing to a Board which will aid in the
erection of churches costing eight, ten or twelve thousand dollars. A
stumbling block, at the door of this Board, will be removed when
all our Presbyteries will have a proper i-egard for the honest convic-
tion of these weak churches.

We desire also to call the attention of this Assembly to the prac-
tice of "special giving," which has "grown to be the rule, rather
than the exception to the rule laid down by the General Assembly,

CHURCH ERECTIOjST. 15

enjoining it upon the churches to send their contributions to the Gen-
eral Boards."'

By reference to the published minutes of the Assembly, it \snll be
seen that the Presbyteries report from $140,000 to $158,000 as given
annually for church erection, whereas, the church collections sent to
this Board for the last four (4) years do not average $45,000 per
annum. Thus it will be seen that more than two-thirds of all the
money reported as given for church erection never reaches the treas-
ury of the Board. In some cases mone}^ used in repairing and fur-
nishing the churches of the donors has been placed in tlie column
for church erection.

It must be admitted that this is a difficult question to adjust
" Special Giving '' is well and ought to be encouraged, but it never
ought to be permitted to interfere with regular offering to the Board,
for the general work of the church. For if one church or Presby-
tery may withhold its funds from the Board, many others may do
the same, and thus greatly cripple this branch of our church work,
and it seems hard to harmonize such action with loyalty to the de-
liverance of the highest court of our church. If this Board is
worthy of an existence it is worthy of the su}i})ort of the eiitii'o
church.

Some 2,000 of our chui-ches have not made any contribution to
this Board the past year ; and the contributions of a large number of
those churches contributing, are so insignificant in amount as to
warrant the inference that there is a sad lack of intelligence in those
churches, as to the actual work and needs of this Board.

^Ve take special pleasure in again calling the attention of the
Assembly to the architectural plans and designs prepared liy this
Board. In accordance with the wish expressed by the last Assem-
bly, these church designs and plans have been increased ; also a
Book of Designs containing views and seating arrangements, has
been prepared and published in pamphlet form ; and will be sent
postpaid for the small sum of fifty cents, to any one of our Presby-
terians who propose to build a church.

The Board has now under consideration the subject of well con-
structed and well ventilated Sabbath school rooms and soon we may
expect some design for such buildings — all who enjoy pure air

16 CIIUKCII ERECTION.

while engaged in the worship of God will rejoice greatly in the
success of this part of the Board's work.

The nature and vastness of the work of this Board place its claims
upon the whole church. It reaches out over our whole land and
gives permanency and power to our Presbyterian church. It secures
to many the inestimable blessings of a spiritual home, and ought to
have a largely increased contrilmtion to its work.

Your committee propose the following recommendations :

1. That this Assembly repeats and emphasizes the injunction sent
down by former assemblies to the Presbyteries, to inquire carefully
into the circumstances of each church seeking aid from the Board,
and to guard with, the utmost diligence against recommending any
whose course is not in every respect marked by an honest observ-
ance of the rules of the Board.

2. While we would not deny the Christian liberty of churches and
individuals in the distriluition of their donations ; we must disap-
prove and discourage the too-frequent practice of diverting fi-om the
general treasury to special objects, the annual contributions of
churches for the Board, particularly when the Board has made lib-
eral grants to the same objects.

3. That this Assembly condemns the growing practice, on the
part of cliurclies and Presbyteries, of seeking aid from this Board to
erect costly buildings, winch practice deprives the more needy of aid
and furnishes a })lausiljle pretext to others for withholding their con-
tributions to this cause.

4 That the Board be directed to classify and systematize the ap-
plications for aid and whenever the circumstances in the case seem to
warrant it ; place such applications before individuals and churches ;
with such information as they may be able to obtain, together with
the recommendation of the Board in the case, and Presbyteries are
enjoined to co-operate with the Board in this work.

5. Tliat the prospective work of this Board seems to demand
$200,000 for the coming year, and we recommend that an honest
effort 1)0 made to raise this amount.

6. That this Board be authorized and empowered to fill any
vacancies that may occur in the Board occasioned by resignation,

death, removal or otherwise, during the interim of the General
Assemblies.

7. That the minutes be approved and the Board be requested to
print their rules, in the matter of granting appropriations, in the
annual report to the General Assembly.

8. That the following persons serve as members of the Board for
three years. Their term of office expiring at this time, viz :

Eev. Joseph Fewsmith, D.D., Rev. JElijah R. Craven, D.D., Rev.

ANNUAL REPORT.

n^.^f^"^, ±333.

— AT—

Saratoga Springs, New York

The Presbyterian Board of Relief' for Disabled Ministers
and the Widows and Orphans of Deceased Ministers here-
witli respectfully presents to tlie General Assembly its Twenty-
eighth Annual Report.

The past year has been one of gratifying progress, showing
an abidino; interest in the Cause. An advance has been made
in the amount of funds received for current use, and of lega-
cies for permanent investment, and in the number of boxes
of clothing; in the number of contributing churches; in the
aggregate of the sums paid over to applicants for aid ; in the
general average of appropriations, and in the number of
Presbyteries on whose recommendation grants have been
made from the Treasury.

There is a growing conviction that this fund is necessary
to the comfort of Presbyterian ministers and their families;
to the maintenance of the honor of the sacred office; to the
growth of the Church, and to the expression of a proper loy-
alty to the Ijord Jesus, by whom the ministry of reconcilia-
tion was ordained.

NO DEBT- WORKING BALANCE.

The Board has continued to adliere to the plan, long since
adopted, of not borrowing money, either in bank or elsewhere,
and of " owing no man anything." It is never in debt. Its
appointed mission is believed to be to receive the contribu-
tions of the churches, and to distribute wisely and impartially
the funds placed in its hands.

By careful management a working balance has been re-
tained in the Treasury each month of the last year, as well
as of the previous year. By this means the Board has been
enabled to pay the appropriations more promptly, and to
meet at once cases of special need.

TAKEN FROM THE ROLL.

Of the number who will remain no longer on the roll, (be-
sides those that have been removed by death,) two ministers
have resumed preaching, and a third is sufficiently restored
to be of some service, and has been provided with a perma-
nent home. Two families of the orphans of deceased minis-
ters have grown up beyond the necessity of receiving assist-
ance from the Church.

There are two ministers and seven widows whose children
have reached adult age, and have both the ability and will to
give their venerable parents an adequate support for the rem-
nant of their days. Three other ministers and one widow
have obtained remunerative employment, or have command
of resources which make them independent. Five widows
who have enjoyed the benefits of this Fund have married
again, and are in comfortable circumstances — in some instances
including provision for their dependent children.

ROLL OF THE DEAD.

The necrology for the year, April, 1882-3, shows a greater
mortality than usual. Twenty-eight of the heads of families
on the roll have departed this life, nearly six per cent, of the

whole number. Of these, sixteen were ministers of the Gos-
pel, and twelve were the widows of deceased ministers.
About two-thirds of the twenty-eight had passed the term
of three-score and ten ; two widows had reached the a<>;e of
eighty-six; one minister ninety, and another minister ninety-
two.

In some instances special appropriations have been made
to defray the funeral expenses. The spirit of Christianity
prompts believers, after the example of Abraham and the
patriarchs, to hold as sacred the bodies of God's saints, which,
having been temples of the Holy Ghost, are watched over by
the risen and ascended Redeemer as heirs of the resurrection
to glory.

ROLL FOR 1882-3.

The whole number that have been standing on the roll for
the year ending April 1st, 1883, is four hundred and sixty-
six, the same as in the year preceding — namely, one hundred
and eighty-eight ministers of the Gospel, two hundred and
fifty-two widows of deceased ministers, and twenty-six orphan
families. Sixty of these were new applicants for relief, con-
sisting of thirty-two ministers, twenty-six widows of minis-
ters, and the orphans of two families. These four hundred
and sixty-six are scattered far and wide through one hundred
and thirty-five Presbyteries in this country and Western
Africa. There were distributed among them during the past
year $16,928 71 more than in the year preceding, making,
in the general average to each family, an increase of about
twenty-five per cent.

For four years there has been a steady advance, and the
total receipts of funds for current use during the last year are
greater than in any year since collections for this Fund began
to be gathered.

$150,000 NEEDED.
The desirableness and necessity of a large increase of this
Board's annual resources of funds for current use are worthy
of serious consideration. Many who are destitute, and whose
merits are undoubted, decline to make apjilication for assist-
ance, because they know that the amount provided for distri-
bution is limited, and that the sums actually given are small
when compared with the ordinary cost of supporting a family
wdtli the strict&st economy. The Treasury should be ade-
quately supplied, so that relief may be granted in all such
cases ; and besides, that the Board may be enabled to make a
suitable addition to the appropriations for those whose names
are already on the roll. To bring up the general average for
each family to $300 this year would require $150,000. This
sum will not seem to be too large if it is borne in mind that
the grants received from the Fund are, in most cases, the only
dependence for the necessaries of life, and doubtless, by
proper efforts, it can be reached without impoverishing the
Church, or making a severe draft on its resources.

BOXES OF CLOTHING.

The number of churches in which ladies have made up
boxes of clothing for families under the care of the Board is
larger than ever before. Fifty-four boxes, worth $7,000,
were reported to the Assembly of 1882. During the past year
•eighty boxes, worth $10,000, have been prepared and sent out.

8

These timely supplies have ministered much comfurt, and
have made many hearts glad. The self-denying liberality of
the givers has met its cheering reward in the grateful replies
returned by the receivers; and the Board, in behalf of the
Church, tenders to these earnest helpers — the ladies — sincere
thanks for this good work. There is on the roll a large class
of the aged and infirm, whether ministers or widows or ven-
erable conples, who, though unable to plead their own cause,
have a strong claim on the sympathies of their Christian sis-
ters. " The lioary head is a crown of glory, if it be found in^
the way of righteousness ;" and is it not doubly so when the
signs of advancing age have been gathering through long
years of self-sacrifice and of devotion to the work of building
up the Kingdom of Jesus Christ?

They are commended to the generous consideration of all
who are ready with heart, hand, and purse to engage in this form
of "doing good unto them who are of the household of faith."^

THE PERMANENT FUND.

At the General Assembly of 1849, when the Plan of Re-
lief was adopted, the fourth of the original resolutions was,
" That in order to the founding of a Permanent Fund for
this same object, special contributions and legacies be invited
from all parts of the Church, the principal of which shall be
safely invested." Similar action was taken by the other As-
sembly in 1864. The result now reached is found in the
following statement : —

Held by the Board of Relief, . ... $82,625 07
" Trustees of the Presbyterian House, 38,132 15^
" Trustees of the General Assembly, 179,653 55

Total, 300,410 77

It will be seen that the " Permanent Fund" is held by
three corporations, viz : — " The Trustees of the Presbyterian
House," chartered or^'ginally for the so-called " New-school
Branch ;" " The Trustees of the General Assembly," incor-
porated in 1799, and "The Presbyterian Board of Relief,"

9

incorporated October 21, 1876. To each of the first two
corporations legacies may come at any time through wills
executed before the Presbyterian Board of Relief was erected
by the Assembly, and chartered by the State of Pennsylvania.
Legal gentlemen advise that the consolidation of the three
into one is not essential, and under the new Constitution of
the State might involve the forfeiture of certain rights. The
members of each of these bodies are elected by the General
Assembly, and are subject to its entire control, under their
respective charters ; and the income, as it accrues, is, in each
case, paid to the Treasurer of the Presbyterian Board of
Relief, for the benefit of the ministers, widows, and orphans
under its cai'o.

All these funds held by the three corporations are invested
in such securities as are approved for trust estates by the
Pennsylvania Courts. The investments are made in the
name of the respective corporations, and are transferable only
on the order of the Finance Committee, or by a special
resolution of the Board itself.

This Board would reiterate what has been suggested in
former Reports respecting the value and importance of a large
Permanent Fund to add strength to this cause and to inspire
greater confidence in its stability. If endowments have been
found to be helpful, and to be necessary to the permanence
and effectiveness of our Colleges and Theological Seminaries,
on which is the main dependence to train young men to be
" workmen that need not to be ashamed," how much more
care should there be to deal generously and justly by the faith-
ful men who have done their work and earned their reward !

At the meeting of the General Assembly of 1870 the Rev.
William Arnot, D.D., delegate from the Free Church of
Scotland, presented a statement of the funds invested by that
Church for retired ministers and the widows of deceased min-
isters. An estimate then made revealed the fact that if there
were a corresponding provision for the ministers of our Gen-
eral Assembly and their families, it would call for five mil-
lions of dollars. The reunited Church in 1870 had 4,238
ministers. The nlmiber reported to the Assembly of 1882

10

was 5,143, wliich, at the same ratio, would require an invested
fund of more than six millions. Does this sum, large as it
is, transcend the merits of the Cause, or the pecuniary ability
of the people ? Is not this a work which ought to be done,
to be done well, to be done in a manner tcorthy of a Church of
more than six hundred thousand communicants ? Can so
great, so intelligent, so prosperous a body as the Presbyterian
Church be satisfied with anything less than some such testi-
monial of their high estimate of the ministerial office, some
such tribute to the honor of the Lord Jesus, who has given
this ministry to His Church ?

Such a substantial fund would take away serious embar-
rassments, which might hinder some from entering the minis-
try ; it would encourage young pastors to be more exclusively
given to their appointed work ; it would lift the cloud of
care which hangs over the the husband and father as he looks
on the family group around him ; it would minister to the
physical comfort of many of God's most worthy servants,
prolong their usefulness, and smooth their passage to the tomb.

GIFT OF DR. BRUEN.

By a deed, dated March 28, 1883, and duly recorded, Dr.
Alexander M. Bruen has conveyed to this Board, in fee sim-
ple, a property at Perth Amboy, N. J., covering eleven and
a half acres, with the following ])rovisions, viz : —

" Provided always, and these premises are upon the express con-
dition, nevertheless, that, if at any time within fifty years
from the first day of April, one thousand eight hundred and
eighty-three, upon which day this deed is to take' effect, and not
before, and upon which day occupation of said premises by said
party of the second part for the purposes of their incorporation
shall begin, said premises hereinbefore described shall not be
used by said party of the second part for the said purpose of
providing and affording a home for disabled ministers, and the
widows and orphans of deceased ministers of the Presbyterian
Church, beneficiaries of said corporation, or if at any time the
said premises, or any part thereof, shall be assigned, conveyed,
mortgaged, or otherwise disposed of, or attempted by any in-

11

struraent of writing so to be, or if auy judgnieut or attachment
shall be obtained against said corporation for any debt or de-
mand whatsoever, then this indenture and all right and title
hereby conveyed shall ipso facto, and immediately upon the
cessation of such use, or upon the delivery of any such instru-
ment of writing, or the recovery of any such judgment or at-
tachment, become absolutely null and void, and the same shall
revert to and vest in said Alexander M. Bruen and his heirs,
without any necessity of re-entry for condition broken, the
intent hereof being that said premises shall be held by said
party of the second part only for charitable uses for which they
are incorporated, and in aid thereof by providing a home as
aforesaid, which use shall begin within sixty days, the same
being fixed as a reasonable time therefor, and shall thenceforth
continue during at least fifty years, failing which, during said
fifty years, or in case of anything done or sufl^ered whereby
such use may be defeated, the title hereby made shall cease, but
not after such fifty years."

An Act of the Legislature of New Jersey has been duly
passed, authorizing the Board to hold this property, and, by
the laws of that State, it is free from taxation.

The Board has accepted these premises subject to the above
conditions. A Committee of the Board is now making the
necessary improvement of the property, and expect to have it
in actual occupancy before the 1st of June next, in accordance
with the requirement of the Deed of Gift.

In due time this Committee will make proper appeals to
the Church for the furnishing of the rooms, and for funds to
support this new feature of the Board's eiforts to fulfill the
purpose of its erection.

This property is believed to be fully worth from $25,000
to $30,000, and it is clear of all claims and liens of any kind.
The main building is a substantial structure of stone and
brick, one hundred and twenty feet front by forty deep, with
three stories and a basement, containing eighty rooms, on
high ground, commanding a view of Raritan Bay and of the
Atlantic Ocean in the distance.

12

We congratulate the Church on tliis munificent gift, tlius
furnishing a comfortable and permanent home for those whom
Gotl, in His providence, has committed to our care.

The origin, progress, and success of this work is due to
God alone, and for all this the Board would call on the
Church to unite in rendering devout thanks, with the fervent
prayer, '' Establish thou the work of our hands upon us ;
yea, the work of oar hands establish thou it."

The term of service of the following members of this
Board M'ill expire with this Assembly : —

.Ministers— Rav. Henry E. Niles, D.D. ; Rev. Robert D.
Harper, D.D. ; George Junkin, Esq. ; A. Charles Barclay,
Esq.

The seat vacated by Mr. Comegys' resignation, and held
temporarily by William G. Moorhead, Esq., at the request of
the Board, is to be filled by this Assembly for the unexpired
term of one year.

Respectfully Submitted in Behalf of the Board.
May 1st, 1883. George Hale, Secretary.

RULES OF THE BOARD.

I. All appropriations must be made on the recommendation of that Pres-
bytery to which the applicant most naturally belongs, or of a Standing Com-
mittee of that Presbytery. Only members of Presbyteries in connection with
the General Assembly, and the families of those who were at their death in
such connection, are entitled to aid.

II. Appropriations are made for one year, unless otherwise ordered, and if
aid is continued, the recommendations must be renewed from year to year.

III. Applications for aid should, in case of a minister, state his age, his
circumstances, and the number of years he has been in the ministry; and in
the case of a deceased minister's family, the application should state the cir-
cumstances of the widow, and the sex and ages of the orphan children who
are dependent on her for support.

IV. While the responsibility of recommending applicants rests with Presby-
teries, and shall largely govern the action of the Board, yet the Board reserves
to itself the right to appropriate according to the merits of the case and the
state of the treasury.

V. When the appropriation is at the rate L>f upwards )f ($150) one hun-
dred and fifty dollars per anni'm, it sh.all be made for six nonths only.*

* Payable in two payments si\ months apart,

REPORT

Of The General Assembly's Standing Committee

—ON—

MINISTERIAL RELIEF.

The Assembly's Standing Committee on Ministerial Relief.

Ministers — Howard Crosby.Robert Street.Benjamin C. Swan, Martin Mills-
baugh. Samuel L. McAfee, Joseph W, Clokey, Dugald D. McCoU Eli N.
Sawtell.

Laymen — Joseph Kirkpatrick, William A, Woods, William Harvey, Robert
Henderson, M. Wilson McLane, Henry P. Ellinwood, John E. Willey.

Their Report was presented May 19th, 1883, and was adopted, and is as
follows : —

The Standing Committee on the Board of Relief for Disabled Ministers,
and the Widows and Orphans of Deceased Ministers, report as follows : —

There is a filial aspect in the cause of relief for disabled ministers which
gives it a peculiar interest to the Church. It is largely the Church's care of
its venerated fathers, and the first thought which arises in considering the
cause is that of an abundant provision, to which the facts alas I do not respond.
That an average of .#175 a year should be the Church's provision for those
who are worn out in its service is a reproach upon either its perception of the
need or upon its liberality in view of the need. Your committee most earn-
estly commend the effort now being made by the Board to lift the average to
$300 a year, which means that the Churches shall give 3ii8,cxx) instead of
$73,000 a year to the cause. The whole receipts of the last year were $105,-
000, of which $13,000 was derived from the Permanent Fund, but the whole
receipts should be $150,000 in order to give an average of $300 to each bene-
ficiary. The Permanent Fund is now $300,000, but it should be largely in-
creased unless the Churches become more liberal in their annual gifts. Are
not our ministers at fault in not advocating the claims of this Board upon
their congregations ? We cannot but urge upon them to take and use the
Monthly Record with the people for this as for all the important causes rep-
resented by our Boards. The Record thus used will keep all the Churches in
full information of the necessities which their Christian liberality ought to
supply. It is with great pleasure we call the Assembly's attention to the
generous gift of Dr. Alexander M. Bruen to the Board, by which gift the
noble mansion and grounds of the Bruen estate at Perth Amboy, N. J., are
given as a home for disabled ministers and the widows and orphans of de-
ceased ministers of the Presbyterian Church. Such a donation to this cause
cannot but elicit the grateful acknowledgments of the whole Church.

The Treasurer's report of this year shows a balance of nearly $16,000,
which may cause surprise, but this surprise will be dissipated, when it is un-
derstood that this balance arises only from the disproportionately large receipts

38

at the close of the fiscal year, all of which were apportioned before the meet-
ing of the Assembly. Another matter which may need explanation is the
comparatively large percentage of expenses in the Board's account. This is
not due to any unnecessary outlay. The work is conducted on as reasonable
a basis as is possible consistently with efficiency and safety.

We need not enlarge upon the commanding importance of the work en-
trusted to this Board. It commends itself to every warm Christian heart,
and should have a prominent place in the benevolent plans of every Church.
The Board and Secretary have faithfully and wisely administered their trust,
and the Churches should strengthen their hands and make them representa-
tives of a more enlarged practical sympathy. The term of service of the
following members of the Board : Rev. Henry E. Niles, Rev. Robert D.
Harper, George Junkin and A. Charles Barclay, now expiring, your Com-
mittee propose the same for re-election. The seat vacated by Mr. Comegy's
resignation having been (by request of the Board) temporarily filled by Wm.
G. Moorhead, your Committee propose Mr. Moorhead's election for the un-
expired term of one year. All of which is respectfully submitted.

Howard Crosby, Chairman.

REV, DR. GEORGE HALE,

Secretary of the Board of Ministerial Relief, then addressed the Assembly
as follows : —

The design and aim of the Presbyterian Board of Relief is not only to do
justice to the deserving and minister comfort to the destitute, but to lift up the
sacred office to a higher position, to its rightful place before the Church and
the world.

It is the purpose of God to show His glory in its brightest form through the
ransomed Church. The high honor of gathering in and perfecting this
Church He has put upon men in the flesh, men called by Himself and set
apart to the work.

The Gospel minister is an ambassador of the Court of Heaven, a represen-
tative of the interests of Christ's Kingdom, and is therefore invested with
dignity by the King of Kings. When Jesus proclaimed, "All power is
given unto me in Heaven and in earth," He gave the word, " Go ye therefore
and teach all nations," and added the promise, " Lo, I am with you alway,
even unto the end of the world."

The commission runs, '• As the Father hath sent me, even so send I you."
" He that receiveth whomsoever I send, receiveth me." When the servant
of God is in sympathy with the glorious purpose that gave origin to the plan
of Redemption for which the material universe was created and upheld, and
the vast scheme of divine providence arranged, and which is made effective
on the hearts of men by the divine power of the Holy Spirit; when he is
thoroughly possessed in his soul by this grand purpose, he begins to compre-
hend the weighty character of his message, the precious interests at stake, and
the greatness of his Lord ; and he will be constrained to say, " I magnify
mine office."

The apostles confessed, " We are made as the filth of the world, and are
the offscouring of all things to this day." This was not strange when it is
remembered that their Master " was despised and rejected of men," and told
them in advance, "If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you."

But such treatment by the world of the ungodly can neither justify nor ex-
cuse indifference or neglect on the part of the professed friends of Christ
towards the ministers of reconciliation — no not even when the eye is dimmed
with age, the knees tremble, the right hand forgets her cunning, and the
tongue that was eloquent is dumb. To leave faithful ministers of Christ to
suffer the evils of poverty by withholding a just recompense for the time,
strength, and means which they have consecrated to this work, especially after
their power to labor has been exhausted, is a grievous wrong, a sin to be
resisted with conscienciousness, energy, and tender sympathy. It devolves o i

39

the people of God to show plainly that their estimate both of the gospel and
of them who preach it is widely different from that of the world lying in
wickedness, and that they are not chargeable with the insincerity of some in
ancient Israel of whom the prophet wrote, " With their mouth they show
much love, but their heart goeth after their covetousness."

Well said the Apostle Paul, " If we have sown unto you spiritual things, is
it a great thing if we shall reap your carnal things ?" These are pertinent
words from the lips of those who are in actual service, but how much more
forcible from those who have borne the burden and heat of the day, whom
the Lord has called to lay aside their work for a season, while they wait
patiently for their reward in heaven. " If a brother or a sister be naked and
destitute of daily food and ye say, 1 epart in peace ; be ye warmed and filled,
what doth it profit?"

Who should " count them worthy of double honor that labor in word and
doctrine, more than these who have been blessed by these ministrations, who
have been led to reform their lives under the influence of the Gospel, who
have been delivered from the dominion of Satan and the terrible doom of the
wicked, who have been brought into companionship with an innumerable
company of angels, who have been introduced into fellowship with God the
Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, and have been made heirs of an endless life ?

A phrase in the prescribed form of call for a pastor is " That you may be
free from worldly cares and avocations." It is full of meaning. It is like a
two-edged sword — for while it carries with it the apostolic injunction, "Give
thyself wholly to them, that thy profiting may appear unto all," it also says to
the people, " Let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that
teacheth in all good things."

A minister's devotion to secular pursuits, in order to support his family and
lay up provision for their future, tends to weigh him down with worldly anxie-
ties, to exhaust his strength, and to turn away his thoughts from his sacred work.

A New England minister, in an anniversaiy sermon, addressed his people
thus : " Do you know by what means I have become so rich as to have a
great house finished and furnished ; a farm, a herd of cattle, a flock of sheep,
horses, and money at interest ? Shall I answer the question ? The principal
reason is this : Because I have been doing your business and neglecting my
own. What is your business ? Your business is to support your minister ;
and that is what I have been doing these twenty years. And what is my
business? My business is to study and preach, and in this I have never
abounded." When the results of those years are weighed in the balances of
the sanctuary, how great the loss ! In the great day of accounts sad must be
the reckoning in the case of such a minister and people. Let the whole
Church consider well the lesson which such an incident teaches.

Let nothing be done, let nothing be omitted, the effect of which shall be
to tempt a minister, much less compel him, to take such a course.

Prayer, and the preaching the word, and the care of souls are enough to
give full exercise to the nerve-force, the mental energy, and the sympathetic
power which men of the rarest gifts and the richest spiritual graces can pos-
sess. Let these powers be exclusively employed in the spiritual work ap-
pointed by God, and let the divine plan of ensuring a temporal support
receive the undoubting confidence of a trusting heart, and all will be well.
But how is this to be brought to pass ? By ministers being taxed themselves
for their own maintenance, by their being taxed to make provision for their
families in years to come? No. These points God has definitely settled in
His word. " Do ye not know that they which minister about holy things
live of the things of the temple ? and they which wait at the altar are par-
takers with the altar? Even so hath the Lord ordained that they which
preach the gospel should live of the gospel."

These men are flesh and blood. They must be fed, clothed and sheltered,
and their ability to labor cannot last forever. They may be laid aside by dis-
ease ; if they live they must grow old and perhaps infirm ; and they may die

40

at such a time as shall leave their families without resources and helplessly
dependent. Of these contingencies the Church has been forewarned, and
has been solemnly charged by God to make for them full and suitable provision.

The National government pensions her soldiers and sailors who have bravely
served their country ; and can the Christian Church do less for her heroes ?
Shall legislators and State officials work out results more righteous and
humane than Christian people constrained by the love of Christ ?

In this regard the Presbyterian Church has not been entirely remiss. Some-
thing has been done. A plan has been adopted resting on the broad funda-
mental principle laid down in the Word of God, that the whole responsibility
of the support of the ministers of the gospel in temporal things is laid on the
people, and that " the laborer is worthy of his hire." Priest is not to be taxed
to maintain priest, nor Levite to provide for Levite, either during the period
of service or after retirement therefrom.

To render the relief needed by ministers and their families — (besides the
gift of the Bruen Mansion worth ^^25,000 or $Tpooo) more than $1,600,000
have been gathered, of which ;J30o,ooo have been invested in a Permanent
Fund, and more than $1,300,000 have been distributed in such a manner as
to accomplish much good, far more good than the sum would indicate.

The path of this fund has been strewn with light. It has supplied imme-
diate wants and driven penury from the door ; it has restored the sick to
health and prolonged useful lives ; it has kept Christian families together to be
trained for usefulness by godly parents, some for the Christian ministry and
missionary service. It has lifted many a dark cloud and- brought comfort to
many a burdened heart. It has been an angel of mercy, with gentle hand,
" in whose tongue is the law of kindness." ♦' The blessing of Him that was
ready to perish has come upon it, and it has made the widow's heart to sing
for joy." Let the hundreds who have had experience testify, and you will
hear notes of thanksgiving and praise from grateful hearts. If benefits so
great have been obtained from sums so small let a more liberal spirit bring in
a larger and still larger supply that there may be no want.

On this whole subject God has told us what to do, how to do it, and who
must do it. It comes upon the Church with all the weight of statute law.
It makes its claim on her sense of justice and her gratitude. It is enforced by
the fact that Jesus considers whatever is done to His servants as done to Him-
self, to be rewarded or punished accordingly. It appeals to believers as one
in Christ with her sacred ministers, members of the same household, having
common woes and common enemies, a common inheritance and the same
everlasting home. It addresses the most tender sympathies of the sanctified
heart, and in the strongest and most comprehensive manner bids this Church
of 600 000 communicants individually and collectively to apply the golden
rule, " As ye would that men should do unto you do ye even so to them."

EIGHTEENTH ANNUAL REPORT

ppcsbijiepian %oaA o\ Jl^issions |of '|peeclrTicn,

TO THE

General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church,
From March 31st, 1882, to April 1st. 1883.

The General Assembly, at its meeting in Springfield, Illinois, advised
its Committee of Missions for Freedmen, " in the enumeration of

THEIR PUBLISHED REPORTS, TO BEGIN WITH THE FIRST REPORT WHICH
WAS MADE BY THE COMMITTEE TO THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY, ABOUT

SEVENTEEN YEARS AGO." It will be perceived that the last year's
report was presented as the " twelfth," although the Committee had
been in existence for seventeen years. In explanation of this, it is but
proper to say, that in the year 1870, when the New and Old School
Churches were united, a new enumeration was commenced, and the
last was the twelfth annual report of the re-united church, but dating
from the beginning of our work for Freedmen it would in fact be the
seventeenth. Carrying out, therefore, the will of the Assembly, and
beginning the enumeration with the date of the organization of the
work, the present is presented as the Eighteenth Annual R-^port.
The same Assembly also passed the following resolution :

" The Committee is hereby authorized to apply to the proper civil authorities
in Pennsylvania for a charter, under a corporate name to be suggested by the
Committee. The charter, if obtained, should be laid before the next General
Assembly, together with a plan of organization under the same."

Acting under this resolution, the Committee has been incorporated
under the name of "The Presbyterian Board of Missions for
Freedmen of the Presbyterian Church in the United States
OF America." The charter, together with the plan of organization
under the same, are presented with this report to the Assembly.

Presbyterian Board of

It will be perceived from the report now made that the past has been
the most prosperous of all the years of our work among the Freed-
meu, for which the Board would record its profound gratitude to God.
Last year we reported 103 churches added to the list of those contrib-
uting to this cause ; this year we report 670 new contributing churches
and eighty Sabbath schools and Missionary Societies, a most pleasing
evidence that the work among the Freedmen is growing in interest
among the churches and Sabbath schools and taking a deeper hold on
the hearts of God's people. As still further evidence of this, the
Board records, with special thanksgiving to God, the fact that the con-
tributions have largely increased during the year, enabling us to expend
for missions and institutions $83,266.68, against $60,467.34 last year,
an increase of $22,799.34. In doing this, however, we regret to have
to report that the fund for the general work has been overdrawn, leav-
ing a balance against the Board of $539.92.

It will be noticed, also, that the colored churches and schools under
the care of the Board have advanced over their last year's contribu-
tions a little more than two thousand dollars, having this year contrib-
uted in the way of self Support $12,881.52, against $10,828.18 last.
To this may be added considerable sums which they have raised for
the other Boards of the Church, and for building and repairing their
churches and school houses, not reported to this office. When it is
remembered that their contributions are made out of deep poverty, the
result is very gratifying, showing, as it does, that they are gradually
advancing towards the point of self-support.

Of the few Freedmen's churches reported as not having contributed
during the year, some have scarcely more than a nominal existence,
while all of these, or nearly all, are without any proper pastoral care.
Nor would we forget that not a few of the white churches reported as
not contributing are in much the same condition.

The moneys credited to Freedmen's churches include only the
amounts reported to the Board as given in support of our missionaries
among them, and for the various other objects which pertain to church
work in this field. The Freedmen have done much in the erection
and repair of churches and school houses, of the money value of which
no estimate has been formed. We may also say that the churches
composed of the Freedmen are encouraged to contribute to all the
Boards of our Church ; and we believe that not a few of them have
done so, although the sum in each case may have been small.

PERMANENT FUNDS.

There have been placed in the hands of the Board, in the past few
year?, for permanent investment, as follows, viz. :

For the general work, $1 ,000

" Scotia Seminary, Endowment Fund, 1,000

" Biddle University, Endowment Fund, 4,000

" Biddle University, African Scholarship Fund, from the United Pres-
byterian Church, Scotland, 6,120

$14,120

MISSIONARIES.

These are preachers, catechists, and teachers ; and in the work un-
der care of the Board the present year — including assistants in schools
— the number is as follows :

Ordained ministers, of whom 71 are colored, 84 \ ^^

Licentiates, 3 are " 4 /

Catechists, 14, all " ' 14

* Teachers, males, of whom 33 are " 40 "I qc

" females, of whom 37 are " 55 J

158 197

Most of these ministers have large fields to care for, including, in
some cases, four, six, and seven churches. The catechists are very
useful assistant missionaries, and have done a large amount of valuable
church and Sabbath school work. The teachers are commissioned,
not as mere educators, but as Christian missionaries.

As a rule, the Board employs as teachers only members of the
Presbyterian Church ; and, in general, they seem to realize that their
mission is not educational merely, but religious as well, making prayei\
praise, Scripture lessons, and catechetical instruction a constant accom-
paniment to the daily routine of school exercises.

In this missionary spirit of our teachers, as we think, lies one grand
power of our work. With daily access to the minds and hearts of
thousands, at a period when the memory is most retentive, and the
heart most susceptible, their opportunities for doing good can not well
be overestimated ; and hence means sufiicient to supply every church
under care of the Board is greatly to be desired. Indeed, our minis-
terial missionaries feel that parochial schools are essential to the best
success in their labors.

* Besides these, 26 others of our ministers aud licentiates, and 3 catechists, have also beeiv
engaged in teaching, making in all 124 engaged in teaching.

FOR THEIR OWN RACE.

THE WORK DONE.

Eighteen years ago this work among the Freedmen was comraeucea
under great discouragement and no little opposition. But the Lord
has been pleased to bless in a marked manner the efforts of the
Church in this direction. We have to-day under the care of the
Board 173 churches, with a membership of 12,823. We have 158
Sabbath schools, with 10,771 scholars in them ; 52 parochial schools,
with 8,370 pupils ; three chartered institutions, three normal, and two
graded schools. During the past year 969 members have been added
to the churches on examination and 169 by letter, making a total of
1,138 for the year. Four new churches have been organized, and a
number of new missions opened, two of them in the Indian Territory
among the Freedmen once owned by the Indians, and who have here-
tofore been sadly neglected by Christians of all denominations. The
prospects of our educational work are more than usually encouraging,
especially in regard to enlarged facilities offered our higher institu-
tions. For a number of years, in fact since its first organization,
Biddle University, at Charlotte, N. C, the only College and theplogi-
cal school which the Presbyterian Church has in the South for Freed-

10 Presbyterian Board of

men, has seriously suffered for the want of suitable buildings. That
want is now about to be supplied. The Board, last year, in connection
with the professors, undertook to raise the funds for a new building,
and, with the blessing of God, so far succeeded that the building has
been put under contract, and is now in process of erection, and will
be completed and ready for occupation by the Fall term of the insti-
tution. The amount necessary to complete the building has been con-
tributed, with the exception of about $6,000, which we confidently
hope will be raised before the house is opened. When this is accom-
plished, a great and new impetus will be given to our whole work
among the Freedmen, through the instrumentality of this institution.

At Scotia Seminary, a school for girls, at Concord, N. C, an addi-
tional wing has been added to the building at a cost of $8,000, and
paid for through the generosity of one noble Christian gentleman, thus
greatly enlarging this heretofore over crowded institution, which is one
of the most successful and prosperous, schools under the care of the
Board.

Also, at Fairfield Institute, Winnsboro', S. C, owing to the crowded
condition of the schools, an additional building has been ordered,
at a cost of $1,000, one half of which sum has been generously
donated by a Christian lady, who feels a deep interest in our work.
This building is now under way, and will be completed by the next
term of the school.

Feeling the importance of enlisting the women of our churches and
the children of the Sabbath schools in this great work, the Board has,
during the year, sent to them a number of circulars and leaflets, and
in many instances have met with hearty and substantial encourage-
ment, and promises of co-operation in the future. There is no field
in which woman's influence is more needed, and none in which it is
more blessed.

In looking back over the year the Board feels greatly encouraged.
The work has been considerably enlarged ; old missions have been
strengthened, and new ones planted in heretofore unoccupied territory.
Our college, with its new building — our seminaries and high schools,
with enlarged accommodations and increased facilities, will enter on
their Fall terms with renewed zeal and hopes of greater usefulness.
When it is remembered that the means of the Board have been very
limited, we have great cause to be thankful that so much has been
accomplished during the past year ; but we trust, that, with enlarged
contributions and raoi-e earnest co-operation on the part of the
churches, this year will show still greater and more blessed results.

THE WORK TO BE DONE.

While it is true that many of our churches feel au increased interest
in the work of the Board, and consequently much has been done, it is,
we fear, still true that the Presbyterian Church as a whole has not yet
risen to a just realization of the magnitude and importance of the work
to be done among the Freedmen. ■ The field which God in his provi-
dence opened to the Church for evangelistic and educational work in
this country by the emancipation of four millions of slaves was the op-
portunity of the age. There has been nothing like it in any land.
Four millions of people in the very heart of a Christian nation, who
had been in bondage for two centuries, suddenly made free — a people,
who, for a hundred years after their importation into the country, were
denied by law the rite of Christian baptism ; to teach any of Avhom to
read was an offense punishable by law, and consequently, at the time of
their emancipation, sunk in poverty, ignorance, and the lowest state of
morals — a people, who, though brought here from the most degrading
forms of heathenism, yet had learned our language and been impressed
with our civilization, and whose sympathies were all with the Christian
religion — to send the Gospel to such a people, to plant schools and
churches among them for the elevation of the race, and to qualify
them for the citizenship and the ballot, so soon to be thrust upon
them after their freedom, was the opportunity of the age — the golden
opportunity of the Christian and the patriot. Has our Church taken
the opportunity afforded her ? Has she come up to her privilege and
her duty ? This is a serious question, and demands the serious con-
sideration of the Church. The evangelization and enlightenment of
these people is an imperative necessity for the good of the country, as
well as their own. The illiteracy among them, and the consequently
low state of morals, is simply appalling, and may well alarm the
Christian and the patriot.

The last census reveals some startling facts. Of the Freedmen in
the Southern States, 76 per cent, can not read or write ; of nearly a
million colored voters, 69 per cent, are illiterate; and over two mill-
ions of their children are to-day out of schools. The State of Georgia
has 147,087 illiterate voters, and the popular vote in 1880 was
155,651 ; Alabama has 120,858 illiterate voters, and its popular vote
151,507; Mississippi, 111,541 illiterate voters, and its popular vote
117,978 ; Louisiana has 102,932 illiterate voters, and its popular vote
97,201. Let Christians and patriots of America ponder these figures.

From the same census we learn also that in South Carolina the in-
crease of the colored population there for the last ten years was 43
per cent., while the increase of the whites was only 35 per cent. At

12 Presbyterian Board of

this rate of increase, within the next twenty-five years, the white race
will be completely overshadowed. In the State of Mississippi the in-
crease was 46 per cent., while that of the whites was much less. At
this rate the colored race in that state, within the next twenty-two
years, will be double what it was in 1880.

These and similar facts demonstrate the imperative necessity of the
Church taking hold of the educational and evangelistic work among
the Freedmen more vigorously, if the colored people in the South are
to be brought from the ignorance and immorality entailed upon them
in the dark days of slavery. It also demonstrates the necessity and
obligation of our Congress taking hold of the educational work. Our
government freed these people, made them citizens and voters, after
recognizing their bondage as legal for two hundred years. The col-
ored race, now an important factor in the mere matter of numbers, is
not to die out in this country, and is not to be separated from the
white race and allotted to a specific territory by itself. It has a per-
manent foothold in the soil and in the institutions of the land, and is
to live and grow upon the one and be developed under the other.
This is not to be the white man's government, or the black man's gov-
ernment, but is, and is to be the government of both races. Neither
will supersede the other. Both are to live together and share together
in the good or ill of a common country. The Constitution of these
United States gives to both a common citizenship, without distinction
" on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude." The
education and enlightenment of this new class of citizens, therefore, is
not a question which concerns the South alone, but the North and the
Wes^t as well ; it is not a question to be considered by the Christian
only, but by the patriot, the philanthropist, and statesman as well.

advantages of location.

Stancliug upon an elevated plat of twenty-four acres, in the suburbs
of Charlotte, North Carolina, its location is healthful as well as beau-
tiful. Established for the special purpose of training colored preach-
ers, catechists, and teachers, for their own race, its location has special
advantages for this purpose. It is in their midst, among the best of
their class, and at the terminus of six railroads. Hence it is easy of
access, attracts the most desirable students, keeps them surrounded by
their own people, among whom they find abundant opportunity for
doing good during term time, and in vacation an open field near at
hand for missionary work greatly needed. Another advantage is, that
thus surrounded, they will retain, in a large measure, the simple and
inexpensive habits of their own people; and, moreover, having been
gathered from and thus constantly kept in contact with those among
whom, for the most part, they are preparing to labor, they will neces-
sarily retain a oneness of feeling with and an adaptation for laboring
among them, which may scarcely be hoped for in those who have not
been so gathered and so trained.

buildings.

The buildings comprise the president's house and three houses for
professors, the University, 50x54 feet, and three stories high ; a board-

14 Presbyterian Board of

iiig hall, and two small dormitories. The estimated value of the
grounds and buildings is S41,000.

A new College building, so much and so long needed, is now in
course of erection, and will be finished for use at the Fall term of the
institution. The cost of the new building furnished will be about
$40,000.

COURSE OF STUDY.

For a time after its organization a regular Classical Course was not
attempted ; but now, besides a Preparatory English Course of two
grades, Higher and Lower, and an English Normal Department cover-
ing a four years' course, it has also a Classical Department requiring
the same time, and a Theological Department requiring a three years'
course.

PURPOSE AND W^ORK.

Of the 181 students reported for the past year, 140 are professors of
religion, 63 studying for the Gospel ministry, and 15 serve as cate-
chists ; 73 have taught part of the year, enrolling over 4,500 pupils ;
and 50 of these, while teaching, have superintended Sabbath schools,
enrolling over 2,800.

ITS IMPORTANCE.

This institution, established for the special purpose of training col-
ored preachers, catechists, and teachers, as instructors of their own
race, holds a place of the first importance in the work of our Church
among the Freedmen. It is the only one of its kind under care of
our Church in all the Southern States, and stands as her future col-
lege and theological seminary for all the Atlantic States south of Vir-
ginia. This institution is worthy the entire strength of the best men
the Church can furnish, and is second to none in its claims upon the
sympathy, prayers, and gifts of our people.

Besides its general it has a special local importance in the fact that
the president and professors, aided by the catechists of the University,
have gathered and constantly cared for quite a number of churches
located in this vicinity.

NEEDED.

1st. — Scholarships of $100 each, for a single year, for a number of
years in succession, or until the close of a student's course of study.
2d. — A General Aid Fund, to assist students who can support them-
selves for but part of a single year. 3d. — Clothing. — Boxes of sub-
stantial clothing, for distribution among needy students, are always in
demand, and can always find grateful wearers. Bed clothing of all
kinds is also needed. 4th. — Endowment. — As yet the institution has
but $6,000 endowment fund, and, save the proceeds of this, the members

Missions for Freedmen. 15

of the faculty have to be supported just as other missionaries are, from
the treasury of the Board. Hence, permanent endowment funds for
the adequate support of its professors are an imperative want of the
University. 5th. — Furniture for the new building, and for the rooms
in the old College building, which is to be changed into dormitories
for the students, churches and Sabbath schools ; or individuals can
greatly aid the institution by furnishing one or more of these rooms,
which can be done for about $40.

Biddle University, even in its heretofore cramped circumstances and
limited facilities, has sent out many of our best and most successful
preachers and teachers now laboring among the Freedmen. Already
it begins to supply that great want of the people, i. e., preachers and
teachers reared and educated on the ground ; and, if encouraged and
supported as it should be, will in a few years more astonish the Church
by the number and character of the ministers and instructors which it
will send into this great field. The Board especially calls the atten-
tion of the Assembly and the whole Church to the prospects and needs
of Biddle University.

> Teachers.

Scotia Seminary is located at Concord, Cabarrus County, N. C. Its
design, as expressed in its charter, is " to educate colored girls in
religion, and in the arts and sciences usually taught in seminaries of a
high order; and in those domestic duties which belong to the highest
type of wife, mother, and teacher." In it " Religion is first. The
Bible and Catechism are constantly taught, both Aveek days and Sab-
baths ; while at the same time the pupils are thoroughly trained in all
the arts and sciences usually taught in seminaries of a high order, and
in all kinds of domestic duties."

The Seminary now reports 225 pupils, of whom 139 are professors
of religion ; 21 have taught part of the year.

16 Presbyterian Board of

Concord, North Carolina, is a point on the route from New York
through Richmond to Columbia, S. C, and Atlanta, Ga., aud is easily
accessible from all parts of the South. The location is healthful.

BUILDINGS.

Some five years ago a neat and very convenient, but plain main
building, in the form of a T, was designed. The funds on hand, how-
ever, allowed of only the front part (head of the T) being erected. It
is of brick, 75 by 42 feet, three stories above the basement, and cost
about $12,000. The remainder of the building has now been com-
pleted, the money having been contributed by a generous friend. The
old Seminary building, the Home, the Ivibrary and store room are
small but useful buildings. The entire property of the Seminary, in-
cluding the grounds and about $1,500 endowment fund, is estimated at
$26,000.

WANTS.

1st. — Scholarships at $45 each, and partial scholarships. The de-
mand for^these is constantly increasing with the increase of the number
of pupils. As a rule, orphans and pupils from large families must be
aided, or an education must be denied to some of the most promising
and enterprising of their race. Tuition is free, and $45 will furnish
boarding, fuel, aud light for one pupil for the entire term (year) of
eight months. " Patrons," says the superintendent, " have been a
double blessing to their wards by their correspondence. Some of the
most promising girls have been thus led to the Saviour." 2d. — Cloth-
ing.— Boxes of good second-hand wearing apparel are always in de-
mand, to be worn as sent, or cut and fitted by the pupils themselves.
3d. — Endoivment. — This institution should be permanently endowed.
At present it has but $1,500 for this purpose. Would not the comple-
tion, furnishing, and endowing of this institution — established for the
special purpose of lifting the daughters of this lowly people to their
proper place and influence among their own race, by means of a good
Christian education — be an appropriate undertaking for the ladies of
our Church, to be accomplished both by individual gifts and organized
effort?

This institution is located in Charleston, South Carolina. It reports
as enrolled during the past year 640 pupils — 28 more than were re-
ported for the preceding year. Paid by pupils for tuition, $509.60.

GROUND AND BUILDINGS.

The ground upon which the Academy stands is a city lot, about 6(X
feet wide by about 200 feet long, extending entirely through from
Meeting Street to Nassau Street. The main building fronts on Meeting
Street, one of the principal thoroughfares of the city, and is 70 feet in
length by 40 in breadth, with a porch in front, and an addition in the
rear for a recitation room. The upper part is used for church pur-
poses ; the first floor, divided into four rooms, is occupied by the school.
On the other end of the lot, fronting on Nassau Street, is the Teaciiers'
Home, a house of moderate size, but conveniently arranged for its
purpose. These buildings are comparatively new, and were erected at
a cost of about thirteen thousand dollars, of which about seven thous-
and eight hundred was paid by the Freedmen's Bureau. There is no
debt upon the property.

DESIGN.

Under the present supervision the design is to render this a thor-
oughly Christian school. Not only are the Scriptures read and its
practical precepts explained and enforced, in connection with the
morning worship of the whole school, but a portion of the Catechism
is memorized as one of the daily exercises. This is selected, not for
any mere sectarian purpose, but to the end that their youthful minds
and hearts may be early impressed with the great doctrines of the
Gospel. It is also intended to secure the most thorough mental cul-
ture possible.

WANTS.

In order to make this school more efficient, apparatus, maps, charts ,
globes, and the means of illustrating the more common facts and prin-
ciples of natural science, would be of great advantage.

location and FIELD.

Braiuerd Institute is located in Chester, an important and growing
railroad Centre in upper South Carolina, a town of about two thousand
inhabitants, the whole county embracing twenty-five thousand, of whom
sixteen thousand are colored. In this and the three adjacent counties
— York, Lancaster and Union — their numbers reach nearly forty
thousand, and this is the only school within these boundaries above
the grade of primary. Around the Institute are clustered the nine
•churches that have constituted Braiuerd Mission, and on every hand
jiublic and Sabbath schools, instructed by Brainerd scholars,

DEPARTMENTS OF THE INSTITUTE.

Since the public school authorities of Chester united with the Board
in sustaining some branches of the work, the Institute has been reor-
ganized, and a graded course of study adopted in three departments —
Primary, Grammar, and High School — all so arranged as to give a
very thorough, symmetrical, and complete English and scientific edu-
cation. Scholars from the mission churches and surrounding country,
as well as those from the toAvu, enjoy the advantages of this graded
course. Liberal provision has been made of the various appliances so
essential to successful study, such as blackboards, maps, charts, and
material and apparatus for illustration in the natural sciences.

NORMAL DEPARTMENT.

This department of the Institute, continued in different forms now
for a number of years, which has supplied this region of country with
day and Sabbath school teachers, and done much to raise the standard

Missions for Freedmen. 19

of education in the county, will be continued with still better facilities,
and receive greater attention in the years to come. The prosperity of
the people — material, social, moral and religious — is so largely an
outgrowth of what the public school teachers are and do, we can
scarcely give too great prominence to this branch of our work.

INDUSTRIAL AND AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT.

But the most important measure of the past year making progress
in the right direction, has been the inauguration of an Industrial
Department of the Institute, and to some extent the formation of plans
for its successful operation. The design is to enable students to aid
themselves in obtaining an education; to develop the strength and
hardihood that come from self-help ; to maintain and promote habits
of industry ; to counteract the danger of sickness and disease so often
the result of sedentary occupation ; to provide more wholesome living
from orchard, farm, and garden ; and to impart a practical acquaint-
ance with improved systems of agriculture, now the all-important need
of this Southern country.

As a beginning of The Industrial Department, one hundred acres
of laud have been obtained by the Institute, at convenient distance
from the town, with about thirty acres wood land, well situated for
cultivation, improvement, and instruction. It needs but a small out-
lay, and the foundation is successfully laid for the practical education
of multitudes of colored youths through generations to come.

For this small outlay assistance is earnestly solicited from all inter-
ested in this branch of the work.

BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS.

The Institute buildings are beautifully situated on nearly two acres
of ground, not far from the centre of the town, and near the three
railroad depots. These comprise the chapel, Institute building, and
two cottages containing dining room and kitchen, with rooms for stu-
dents, and a large two-story mansion, 50x80 feet, with extended piaz-
zas, airy, well finished rooms and ample accommodations for a large
number of students. This building has attached to it about ten acres
of ground, and is situated on a level plateau on the range of hills east
of the town, two sides pointing on main streets.

In conclusion it may be added that Bible study in the future, as in
the past, will be inter^voven with all the instruction of the Institute,
and be given the chief place in the educational work.

Robert Sawyer, J

There are connected with the institution a dwelling house, boarding
hall, and two dormitories — one, erected by the liberality of Mrs. Mul-
ford, of Madison, N. J., for girls, and one for boys, and a convenient
school building.

It has enrolled during the year 450 pupils, 40 of whom have been
engaged in teaching in common schools.

It steadily maintains its character as a practical, industrial, and re-
ligious institution.

Winnsboro' is a growing village of nearly 2,000 inhabitants, and all
the buildings erected during the year have been built by colored me-
chanics educated at this school. All the mechanical trades are repre-
sented here, and agriculture receives its due attention. The students
are educated towards, and not from these vocations.

MORAL TRAINING.

The aim of the school is to co-educate the sexes, so that woman, by
bei7ig respected, shall acquire that self respect which will accomplish
what neither preachers nor lecturers can accomplish. The lady teach-
ers preach a needed practical gospel with more potency than can be
done in any other way. Those who are to mould the churches of the
region are moulded here.

RELIGIOUS TRAINING.

The Shorter Catechism and International Lessons are taught in the
school, and by all the teachers in the country schools.

Through the kindness of Northern friends every colored child of the
region is furnished with religious papers. Prayer meetings were held
during the week of prayer, and meetings were continued from 6 to 7
p. M., without omission, for over eight weeks. The white ministers of
the place — Presbyterian, Associate Reformed, Baptist, and Methodist
— assisted in preaching. Repeated assurances came from the North
that the institution was remembered in their prayers.

AFRICA.

One of the students of this school, just graduating from Howard
University, Washington, D. C, goes to Africa this summer as a mis-
sionary under the Foreign Board, and others — missionaries, teachers,
mechanics, and laborers — are ready to follow as Providence opens the
way. Fifteen former pupils are now attending Universities and Semi-
naries. Scholarships of from $20 to $40 would help gi*eatly the selec-
tion of brains and piety for great future usefulness.

STATISTICS FROM THESE.

The five institutions just referred to have each sent up statements
for the past year, which combined give the following :

Whole number of students enrolled, 1,856

Number of these professors of religion, 753

Number of these in the Presbyterian Church, 214

Whole number studying for the Gospel ministry, 89

Number of these tliat are Presbyterians, 70

Number who liave acted as catechists, 20

Tauglit school part of the year, 154

Whole number of months tauglit by all, this year, over 493

Whole number of pupils in all their schools, about 8,459

Amount of pay received, in cash and board, by all, about $9,000

Number who superintended Sabbath scliools while teaching, .... 88

Whole number of scholars in these Sabbath schools, 5,050

In considering the figures of these tables, it should be remembered
that those pertaining to students for the Gospel ministry, catechists,
and superintendents of Sabbath schools, came from but four of the
five institutions named, as Scotia Seminary is for girls only.

CONCLUSION.

The Board in conclusion desires, through your venerable body, to
impress upon the ministers and congregations of the Presbyterian
Church, the solemn obligations Avhich we believe rest upon them and
all christian people, to give the Freedmen of the South educa-
tional and Gospel privileges. For their illiteracy and low state of
morals, we as a people are in a large degree responsible. Such a
state of things is but the natural result of long years of degrading
bondage in which we held these people. For more than two hundred

22 Presbyterian Board of

years they have toiled for and euriched the white race, aud they have
done this " in the sweat of their face," and now the least that can be
expected of us is to afford thera the facilities of education and enlight-
enment for themselves and their children, by the means of the church
and the school. Surely a great and rich church such as ours, cannot
stand idly by and see a race, so long wronged and oppressed, perishing
in her very midst, for lack of knowledge.

The work needs still to be enlarged and extended. There is much
land yet to be possessed. We have devoted men and women ready to
enter the field, but the churches fail to give us the means to send them.
When we think of the work yet to be accomplished, the fields white to
the harvest and ready for the Lord's reapers ; when we hear the cry
for the bread of life that comes from so many quarters, and the sighs
of the weary and heavy laden which are borne to us from the count-
less cabins of the poor, we feel compelled to bring this inquiry and lay
it on the conscience of every minister and member in the Church :
"Are you doing for these people all that God expects you
to do, and all that they' have the right to ask at your

HANDS ? "

i|cl5ion of the ^Bqeral As^embli|.

Saratoga Springs, N. Y., May, 1883.

Rev. Alexander Proudfit presented the Report of the Standing
Committee on Freedmen, and submitted the following resolutions,
which were unanimously adopted :

Your committee recommend the following resolutions for adoption by the
Assembly :

1. "We heartily commend the Board for the efficient manner in which it has
discharged its work during the past year.

2. We commend this work to the sympatliy and aid of the women of tlie
church, and urge them to take hold of it with the same^ spirit witli which they
have taken hold of other departments of church work.

3. We recommend the churches to contribute at least $200,000 for the work
of this Board during the coming year.

4. That, as Biddle University, at Charlotte, N. C, is our only college for tlie
higher education of the negroes in the Southern States, and the only source on
the field to which we can look for educated ministers and teachers for the race,
the Assembly cordially commends it to the sympathy, prayers, and liberal sup-
port of our churches.

5. The church is urged to make special prayer for (lod's blessing upon this
great work.

6. The following members are recommended for election as members of the
Board of Missions for Freedmen :
