THE  TWENTY-SECOND  ANNUAL  REPORT. 


The  Board  of  Home  Missions  presents  to  the  General  Assembly 
the  report  of  its  ninetieth  year — the  twenty-second  since  re-union — 
gratefully  recognizing  the  Divine  guidance  and  goodness  in  the 
year's  most  signal  prosperity,  notwithstanding  the  almost  utter 
intermission  during  the  twelve  months  of  advance  and  aggression. 

Mr.  Joseph  F.  Joy,  long  a  valued  and  efficient  member  of  the 
Board,  died  April  11th,  1891.  His  decease  was  noted  in  last  year's 
report.  Mr.  Jacob  D.  Vermilye  died  January  1st,  1892,  having 
been  for  many  years  a  most  esteemed  and  influential  member  of 
the  Board  and  of  its  Finance  Committee. 

The  death  roll  of  missionaries  is  longer  than  usual.  Their  names 
are  here  recorded,  with  the  Board's  testimony  to  their  faithful  ser- 
vice and  worthy  well-doing: 


Rev.  C.  A.  KANOUSE Kentucky. 

"     WM.  HAMILTON Nebraska. 

"     SAMUEL  HODGE,  D.D Iowa. 

"     JOHN  MARTIN Nebraska. 


Rev.  H.  F.  SEWELL Kansas. 

"     JOHN  F.  ALLEN Ind.  Ter. 

"     ALEX.   M.  HEIZER Iowa. 

"     S.N.HILL Michigan. 


Rev.   ASA   F.  WHITEHEAD Michigan. 

The  officers  of  the  Board  have  been  reinforced  by  the  addition 
of  the  Rev.  William  C.  Roberts,  D.D.,  LL.D.,  for  five  years  an 
efficient  and  successful  Secretary  of  the  Board,  who  left  it  five 
years  ago  for  the  Presidency  of  Lake  Forest  University,  and  has 
just  resumed  the  post  of  Corresponding  Secretary.  Dr.  Robert's 
return  to  the  Board  means  a  most  gracious  relief  to  the  other 
members  of  the  executive  force,  pressed  beyond  measure  by  the 
rapid  extension  of  the  work,  and  should  be  matter  of  congratula- 
tion to  the  entire  Church. 


4  ANNUAL      REPORT     OF     THE  [1892. 

FINANCES. 

The  fiscal  year  began  under  the  burden  of  a  debt  of  $98,346.04. 
The  usual  summer  stagnation  in  current  receipts,  far  exceeding  the 
amount  of  possible  loans,  so  depleted  the  treasury  that  payments 
fell  more  and  more  into  arrears,  and  hundreds  of  faithful  and 
patient  missionaries  suffered  painful  worry  and  hardship  from 
months'  delay  in  quarterly  remittances.  The  grievous  ebb  turned 
in  December,  when  increasing  receipts  and  additional  loans, 
made  possible  by  new  facilities,  enabled  the  tardy  payments  to  be 
brought  up  to  date,  with  unspeakable  relief  to  both  the  mission- 
aries and  the  Board.  The  necessity  of  largely  increasing  the 
available  collaterals  of  the  Board,  in  order  to  allow  larger  loans, 
during  the  summer,  has  often  been  emphasized. 

The  Board  would  again  call  the  attention  of  the  Church  to  the 
actual  conditions  of  the  financial  problem.  The  Board  is  usually 
the  party  blamed  and  indicted  for  delayed  remittances,  being  the 
one  of  all  others  least  justly  open  to  censure.  The  fact  is  that 
presbyteries  and  pastors  really  hold  this  matter  in  their  own  hands, 
and  are  the  principals  in  the  case.  If  more  presbyteries  and  Home 
Mission  Committees  would  earnestly  insist  on  the  application  for 
the  actual  minimum  of  needful  appropriations,  and  push  congrega- 
tions to  the  moderate  maximum  of  contributions,  a  debt  on  the 
part  of  the  Board,  and  consequent  tardiness  in  payments,  would 
be  virtually  impossible. 

The  million  of  income  recommended  by  the  last  General  Assem- 
bly has  not  been  attained  ;  but  receipts  have  exceeded  those  of  last, 
year,  and  have  amounted  to  a  total  for  the  year  of  $925,949.63. 
This  amount  includes  $82,596.19  for  Permanent  and  Trust  Funds ; 
$60,464.94  paid  to  the  Home  Board,  $5<>,000  of  which  neither 
principal  nor  interest  is  as  yet  available,  and  $10,464.94  of  which 
interest  only  is  available;  and  $22,131.25  received  from  the 
Woman's  Executive  Committee,  of  which  the  income  only  can  be 
used.  The  income  for  the  year,  from  all  sources,  available  for 
the  current  work  of  the  Board,  was  $843,353.44,  $156,646.56  less 
than  the  amount  recommended  by  the  Assembly. 

The  debt  at  the  present  time  is  $67,092.62,  a  reduction  of 
$31,253.42  during  the  year. 


1892.]  BOARD     OF     HOME     MI88ION8.  5 

Notwithstanding  the  debt,  and  relying  on  the  cordial  support  of 
the  Church,  the  Board  lias  just  appropriated  $5,000  for  new  work 
in  the  month  of  April ;  an  advance  which  cannot  be  continued 
unless  current  receipts  from  churches  are  largely  increased. 

FOREIGN   WORK. 

This  item  of  our  Home  Mission  work  looms  large  enough  in  the 
repetition  of  the  oft-made  statement,  that  of  our  sixty -four  millions 
one  in  every  seven  is  foreign-born,  one  in  every  three  is  of  foreign 
parentage,  and  one  in  every  six  is  foreign-speaking.  A  majority 
of  all  foreigners  are  Romanists,  such  as  most  of  the  Irish,  Bohemians 
mid  French;  while  on  the  other  hand  the  foreign-speaking  class 
are  mostly  Protestants,  such  as  Scandinavians,  Dutch  and  Germans. 
Twenty  counties  in  Texas  are  as  German  as  Germany.  So  are 
large  quarters  in  such  cities  as  New  York,  Cincinnati  and  Chicago. 
New  York  has  400,000  Germans,  and  Chicago  more  than  300,000. 
Wisconsin's  population  is  two-thirds  foreign,  and  half  German. 
Milwaukee  is  two-thirds  German,  and  La  Crosse  three-fourths. 
Missouri  has  a  large  German  element.  Minnesota's  population  of 
nearly  two  millions  is  one-third  foreign,  with  one-third  of  all  the 
Scandinavians  in  the  land.  These  last  are  very  numerous  also  in 
(Hah.  In  these  statistics  we  only  reiterate  familiar  figures  and 
ratios,  but  they  must  be  reiterated  to  be  borne  in  mind. 

It  is  well  known  that  immigration  has  of  late  years  somewhat 
nagged.  But  during  the  past  year  poverty  and  famine,  scanty  work 
and  harvests,  have  turned  the  ebb  into  a  flood.  Not  including  the 
thousands  who  moved  in  from  Canada  to  make  or  fill  New  England 
cities,  600,000  immigrants  came  to  our  shores  in  1891,  100,000 
more  than  in  L890,  and  more  than  in  any  previous  year  except 
1882.  Almost  one-hundredth  part  of  our  total  population  has  thus 
come  to  us  within  a  year.  Germany's  hard  times  sent  30,000 
more  here  than  in  the  year  before.  Famine  and  banishment 
increased  Russia's  6<>,000  to  100,000.  Italy  sent  more,  in  spite  of 
international  difficulty.  So  did  Sweden  and  Norway,  Bohemia 
and  Hungary;  the  two  former,  like  Germany,  sending  mostly 
excellent  material,  and  the  two  latter  much  the  reverse.  On  the 
whole,  the  quality  of  the  immigrating  class  has  of  course  much 


6  ANNUAL     REPORT     OF     THE  [1892. 

deteriorated.  The  increasing  number  of  inmates  in  our  prisons 
and  poor-houses  shows  the  burdensome  results.  It  taxes  our 
national  police  to  detect  and  keep  out  Europe's  paupers  and 
criminals,  and  in  spite  of  keen  vigilance  and  resolute  reshipment 
they  grow  on  our  hands.  The  idle,  the  ignorant,  the  dangerous, 
make  their  way  in,  become  voters  in  five  years  at  the  longest — in 
most  of  the  Western  States  in  much  less  time — and  then,  all 
unfit,  share  equally  with  our  best  native-born  and  bred  in  the 
nation's  government.  It  is  one  of  the  burning  questions  of  the 
hour  whether  we  shall  not  speedily  have,  in  the  plain  interest 
of  prosperity,  economy  and  self-defense,  a  wisely-framed  immigra- 
tion law  requiring  of  every  new-comer  proof  of  good  character  and 
honest  industry  as  a  passport  to  welcome  and  home  among  us. 
And  meanwhile,  a  still  better  insurance  against  damage  to  all  we 
most  prize  is  the  resolute  and  persistent  pressing  and  plying  of 
our  whole  land  and  people  with  the  ministries  of  the  Church  and 
the  forces  of  the  Gospel. 

The  largest  element  of  our  foreign  population  is  the  German. 
Our  German  work  has  been  silently  but  steadily  increasing.  Much 
of  it  has  outlived  and  outgrown  dependence.  Strong  German 
churches  stand  abreast  of  their  strong  American  brethren,  a  living 
and  growing  disproof  of  the  plausible  arguments  often  beard  against 
German  preaching.  There  are  more  than  160  German  churches 
now  in  connection  with  the  General  Assembly,  and  133  German 
pastors.  There  is  no  reason  but  lack  of  funds  why  their  number 
may  not  be  quickly  and  largely  increased.  A  German  colony 
brought  over  under  Presbyterian  auspices  has  recently  found  a 
home  in  Nebraska. 

German  Presbyterians  have  organized  themselves  into  two  Con- 
ventions, Western  and  Eastern,  to  foster  work  among  their  own 
class.  German  mission  work  in  general  requires  smaller  pecuniary 
outlay  than  American.  Our  two  German  theological  seminaries 
at  Dubuque  and  Bloomfield,  well  equipped,  though  too  slenderly 
endowed,  have  now  eighty  students.  There  are  two  self-supporting 
religious  German  papers,  Der  Presbyterianer  and  Deutscher 
Evangelist,  published  by  the  two  Conventions.  The  benevolent 
gifts  of  the  German  churches  are  steadily  growing. 


1892.]  BOARD     OF     HOME     MI88ION8.  7 

Our  work  among  the  Scandinavians  in  Minnesota  and  elsewhere 
is  limited  only  by  want  of  men  and  means.  The  Lutheran  Evan- 
gelical Church  is  of  course  nearer  to  them,  and  largely  attracts 
them,  but  many  of  them  take  kindly  to  Presbyterian  ministries. 
Swedish  work  in  Minneapolis  and  St.  Paul  and  vicinity  is  well 
under  way.  The  Synod  of  Minnesota  is  eager  to  expand  and  push 
the  work  throughout  the  State,  and  the  Board  waits  only  for  the 
Church's  benefactions.  So  of  Danish  and  Swedish  and  Norwegian 
work  under  the  shadow  of  Mormondom,  to  which  thousands  of 
these  people  have  been  beguiled,  but  from  which  their  intelligence 
when  enlightened  makes  recovery  to  a  purer  faith  comparatively 
easy,  while  their  honest  thrift  and  industry  render  them  trusty  and 
valuable  in  all  relations. 

The  250,000  Bohemians  in  the  country  form  a  class  of  people 
whose  large  Protestant  portion  appeals  especially  by  tradition  and 
training  to  the  Presbyterian  Church,  though  our  Congregational 
brethren  have  a  good  and  growing  work  among  them.  Among  the 
40,000  in  New  York  City  we  have  a  strong  and  flourishing  church, 
with  ample  appliances,  large  membership,  and  three  good  Sunday- 
schools,  under  the  active  and  zealous  leadership  of  the  Rev.  Vincent 
Pisek.  We  have  churches  with  promising  beginnings  in  Omaha, 
Cedar  Rapids,  Baltimore  and  Milwaukee,  and  in  Manitowoc 
County,  Wis.,  Saunders  County,  Neb.,  and  elsewhere.  No  class  of 
our  foreign  population  has  a  readier  welcome  for  our  fellowship. 

Some  small  openings  of  Italian  work  have  been  made  near 
Scran  ton  and  Audenried,  Pa. 

The  desire  of  the  Church  and  the  urgency  of  the  General 
Assembly  for  great  enlargement  of  the  work  among  the  foreign 
element,  have  the  earnest  sympathy  of  the  officers  and  members  of 
the  Board,  and  they  ask  for  the  means  to  widen  and  press  it  with- 
out delay. 

CITY    EVANGELIZATION. 

This  is  always  a  large  item  of  Home  Missions,  as  well  as  its 
most  puzzling  and  baffling  problem,  and  will  steadily  become  more 
and  more  so.  Our  population  gravitates  cityward.  The  young 
and  active,  ambitious  and  hopeful,  leave  comparative  rural  stag- 
nation and  dullness  for  what  they  think  will  prove  larger  scope 


8  ANNUAL     REPORT     OF     THE  [1892. 

and  surer  and  earlier  success.  Thither  drift  also  the  disappointed, 
the  discouraged  and  the  criminal.  Immigration  passes  through  the 
great  coast  cities  as  through  a  sieve,  leaves  there  most  of  its  poorer 
elements,  and  takes  on  only  its  better  part  to  broader  and  fairer 
fields.  Our  cities  contain  at  least  one-third  of  our  people,  and 
largely  those  who  are  not  only  outside  the  Church's  pale  but  are 
indifferent  or  ill-disposed  to  it.  This  makes  the  rural  churches, 
especially  in  the  older  States,  apt  to  weaken  and  decay,  and  hard 
to  maintain,  even  with  continuous  and  increased  appropriations — 
which  presents  another  problem,  as  to  which  opinions  naturally 
differ,  but  in  regard  to  which  it  is  the  fixed  and  sound  policy  of  the 
Board  to  stand  by  and  uphold  these,  even  with  small  prospect  of 
their  returning  independence,  as  indispensable  centres  of  whole- 
some influences  and  helpful  feeders  of  good  material  to  all  the 
land.  This  policy  cannot  but  touch  the  hearts  and  command  the 
sympathetic  assent  of  innumerable  settlers  at  ten  thousand  points 
all  over  the  newer  States  and  Territories. 

What  to  do  with  our  cities  is  a  question  well  illustrated  by  an 
article  on  "  Evangelizing  Chicago,"  by  our  active  presbyterial 
missionary  in  that  great  city,  Rev.  John  Weston,  in  the  April 
number  of  The  Church  at  Home  and  Abroad,  which  need  not 
here  be  reproduced.  The  city  has  grown  in  fifty  years  from  4500 
to  1,200,000,  and  is  steadily  increasing  at  from  60,000  to  100,000 
per  year.  It  includes  one-third  of  the  population  of  Illinois,  and 
more  people  than  Dakota,  Idaho,  Montana,  Nevada,  Arizona, 
New  Mexico  and  Wyoming  combined.  It  is  the  most  foreign  of 
our  great  cities.  The  indifferent  or  hostile  part  of  this  foreign 
element  is  swelled  by  the  masses  of  our  own  people  from 
rural  regions  who  drift  into  irreligion.  There  are  400,000  Roman 
Catholics,  400,000  more  or  less  Protestant,  and  400,000  utterly 
churchless — many  of  them  in  darkness  as  absolute  as  Stanley's 
Wapatiti.  Christians  are  alive  to  this.  All  the  denominations 
are  actively  at  work.  The  Congregationalists  spent  $39,000 
last  year.  The  Methodists  built  thirteen  churches.  The  Baptists, 
later  at  work,  expended  $7000.  Our  own  Church,  spent  $18,000, 
$10,000  through  the  Board.  Eighteen  of  our  thirty-eight  churches 
receive  aid   from  the   Board.     Two  became   self-supporting   last 


1892.]  BOARD     OF     HOME     MI88ION8.  9 

year.     We   have   twenty   missions,  two   German    churches,    and 

Italian  and  Syrian  missions.     The  McCormick  Seminary  students, 

now  the  most  numerous  of  any  seminary,  are  efficient  helpers, 

and   have  opened  five  new   fields,   four  of   which   will    soon    be 

flourishing  churches.    Three  churches  have  been  organized.    Mr. 

Weston  says  :  "  We  aim  at  nothing  less  than  the  full-fledged  church." 

The  plan  is,  a  canvass,  a  Sunday-school  and  preaching  service,  then  a 

church     building — this    last    a    most    pressing     necessity — there 

being  now  seven  organizations  without  a  shelter.    The  Presbyterian 

League  seeks  as  its  chief  aim  to  aid  these  struggling  congregations  to 

acquire  church  property.     Prominent  business  men  are  active  in  it. 

The  Presbyterian  Social  Union  is  now  turning  its  energies  in  this 

direction.     If  the  Board  is  so  supplied  with  funds  as  to  be  able  to 

encourage  the  Home  Mission  Committee  to  plant  churches,  and  the 

Social    League   is   backed    in   the  work   of  church  building,  our 

Chicago  brethren  may  signalize  the  year  of  their  great  Columbian 

Exhibition  with  an  unprecedented  advance  in  Home  Missions  and 

church  extension. 

There  may  be  nothing  more  in  this  marked  activity  in  Chicago 

than  is  now  done  or  aimed  at  by  Church  Extension  Committees  and 

Presbyterian  Alliances  in  New  York  and  Philadelphia,  and  St. 

Paul  and  Minneapolis,  and  Omaha  and  Portland,  and  Los  Angeles 

and  Kansas  City,  and  a  score  beside.     But  here  at  least  is  plainly 

indicated   the   line   of  effort  through  which   our  cities  are  to  be 

evangelized. 

SYNODLCAL  AID. 

There  is  nothing  specially  new  to  notice  in  this  important  phase 
of  Home  Mission  work.  The  Board  has  just  once  more  wiped  out 
the  deficiency  of  the  New  York  Synodical  Aid  Fund,  and  the  work, 
it  is  hoped,  will  start  afresh  with  prospects  of  a  better  outcome 
under  the  new  plan  proposed  by  the  Synod's  special  committee. 
Pennsylvania  has  measurably  attained  its  aims,  with  some  ground 
still  to  cover.  New  Jersey  holds  its  compact  work  well  in  hand  and 
does  it  thoroughly,  with  increasing  balance  to  the  Board.  Indiana's 
first  year  of  self-support  of  its  dependent  churches  will  undoubtedly 
show  better  results  at  home  and  increased  contributions  to  the  Board, 
with  also  an  increase  of  active  and  intelligent  interest.     Illinois's 


10  ANNUAL     KEPOBT     OF     THE  [1892. 

plan  of  four  State  evangelists  is  well  and  profitably  maintained. 
Kentucky's  sustentation  fund  of  some  $6000  will  stimulate  con- 
tributions and  activity.  The  main  and  obvious  objection  to  the 
synodical  plans  is  that  they  may  possibly  tend  to  make  interest  in 
Home  Mission  work  local  rather  than  general,  and  thus  divert  gifts 
and  legacies  from  the  Board,  the  Church's  central  agency ;  but  this 
can  be  easily  avoided  and  corrected.  In  New  York  there  is  no 
doubt  that  the  synodical  plan  has  resulted  in  some  increase  of  gross 
contributions,  though  as  yet  not  to  the  extent  contemplated  and 
hoped  for. 

NEW  ENGLAND. 

The  six  New  England  States  measure  60,000  square  miles.  Maine 
has  in  area  about  one-half  of  the  whole.  Much  less  than  one-half 
of  Maine's  surface  is  arable.  Probably  not  one-tenth  of  the  acreage 
of  the  other  five  States  is  susceptible  of  profitable  tillage.  Illinois, 
with  10,000  less  square  miles  of  surface  than  New  England,  has  ten 
times  as  much  arable  land.  So  New  England  cannot  be  an  agri- 
cultural, and  must  be  a  manufacturing  district.  Where  the  soil 
fails,  the  water-power  and  the  business  faculty  and  the  tireless 
industry  and  the  indomitable  pluck  and  push  are  the  available 
plant  which  must  be  utilized.  So  farmers  leave  New  Englaud  for 
the  fertile  West ;  and  the  overstock  of  Canadian  and  Scotch  and 
Scotch-Irish  operatives  pour  into  it.  Tens  of  thousands  have  come, 
and  more  are  coming  and  will  come.  They  are  mostly  Presby- 
terians, or  inclined  to  be.  They  prefer  their  own  Church,  and 
mean  to  have  it.  They  are  poor  at  first,  and  need  preliminary 
help,  but  their  thrift  will  soon  attain  self-support  for  religious 
appliances  as  for  other  interests.  New  England  has  nearly 
5,000,000  of  people.  One-quarter  of  these  are  foreign-born.  Not 
more  than  one-half  of  the  whole  population  is  of  the  old  New  Eng- 
land stock,  and  one-sixth  cannot  even  speak  English — a  large  part 
of  these  being  Canadian-French  and  Roman  Catholic ;  while 
hundreds  of  thousands  are  Scotch  and  Scotch-Irish.  Presbyterian 
Home  Mission  work  has  thus  a  natural  field  and  a  wide  scope  among 
these  new-comers.  Our  Congregational  brethren  on  the  ground 
heartily  welcome  and  generously  help  this  church  extension.  By 
this,  and  by  results,  the  work  has  been  amply  justified.     With  a

few  exceptions,  no  Presbytery  in  the  whole  Church  has  surpassed 
that  of  Boston  in  growth  and  enterprise  and  spiritual  increase. 
The  number  of  additions  on  confession  has  been  all  but  unequaled, 
and  aid  from  the  Board  and  other  outside  sources  has  been 
proportionately  light.  This  satisfactory  showing  has  continued 
through  the  last  year.  Roxbury  is  building  an  elegant  stone 
church  on  a  commanding  site.  Manchester  is  building,  under 
difficulties  and  after  years'  delay.  Newport  is  erecting  a  line 
edifice  in  a  more  central  and  accessible  position  than  that  hitherto 
occupied  by  its  chapel,  under  the  Rev.  James  Craig,  who  finished 
the  neat  stone  church  at  Holyoke,  to  which  the  Congregationalists, 
under  Dr.  Reed,  contributed  $7,000.  East  Somerville  has  a  neat 
edifice  and  a  nourishing  society.  Worcester  and  Woonsocket 
have  just  assumed  self-support.  Fall  River  is  about  to  build, 
and  New  Bedford  has  just  purchased  a  church  property,  which  it 
can  very  nearly  pay  for.  Taunton  has  been  generously  helped, 
and  is  holding  on  under  rather  heavy  burdens.  The  Gaelic  congre- 
gation in  Boston,  under  Mr.  Gunn,  is  numerous  and  zealous,  and 
Columbus  Avenue  has  a  tine  large  edifice  in  a  choice  position  and 
a  full  audience,  though  not  financially  strong.  New  Haven  has 
taken  a  new  start  and  is  quietly  prospering,  and  Lynn,  with  scanty 
means,  is  laying  foundations.  Some  new  points  are  proposed,  but 
the  Board  has  perforce  held  back  from  any  advance  for  more  than 
a  year. 

FLORIDA. 

Of  the  forty-one  churches  on  the  rolls  of  the  two  presbyteries  of 
East  and  South  Florida,  those  at  Mill  Cove,  Palmer,  St.  Andrew's 
Bay  and  Mary  Esther  in  the  former,  and  Kismet  and  Acron  in  the 
latter,  have  only  a  nominal  existence.  A  church  has  been  organ- 
ized at  Homosassa,  and  another  at  Tracy  has  replaced  Acron.  Five 
new  edifices  are  building  or  soon  to  be  built.  The  churches  are  all 
supplied  or  soon  will  be.  In  South  Florida  "all  year"  men  have 
stood  by  their  fields  throughout.  In  East  Florida  only  four  men 
have  worked  all  summer ;  two  of  them  are  colored  brethren,  and 
the  other  two  came  from  the  Methodist  Church.  Nine  churches 
left  vacant  for  the  summer  in  East  Florida  furnish  good  ground  for 
the  Board's  conclusion  to  grant  no  more  short  or  part-year  agree- 


12  ANNUAL      REPORT      OF      THE  [1892. 

ments.  Orange  Bend,  Centre  Hill,  Hotnosassa,  Eustis,  Chuluota 
and  Titusville  have  enjoyed  marked  revivals,  the  last  having 
received  twenty-seven  members. 

Oranges  are  at  the  lowest  prices  ever  yet  known.  Orange  groves 
go  begging  for  a  buyer.  Speculation  in  the  marvellous  phosphate 
beds  has  collapsed  from  overdoing,  though  a  permanent  and  profit- 
able business  must  be  the  final  outcome.  Our  ministers  fraternize 
to  a  larger  extent  than  elsewhere  with  our  Southern  brethren. 
Here  and  there  our  churches  are  grouped  with  theirs  for  conven- 
ience and  economy,  and  this  should  be  oftener  done.  Several  of 
our  feeble  churches  should  be  given  over  to  them,  if  they  and  the 
people  agree.  A  conference  of  the  two  churches  on  that  field  in 
regard  to  these  matters  would  be  wholesome  and  helpful. 

Our  work  in  Florida  has  been  hard  and  slow.  And  yet  our 
church  members  there  averaged  last  year  for  all  religious  purposes 
$12.2-1.  The  difficulties  have  been  peculiar  and  great.  The  proper 
policy  seems  to  be  to  hold  on  and  wait  for  better  times.  Our  syn- 
odical  missionary,  Rev.  Henry  Keigwin,  is  a  genial  and  tireless 
worker. 

MICHIGAN. 

Michigan  is  rousing  and  starting  afresh  under  the  impulse  of  its 
new  synodical  missionary,  Rev.  David  Howell,  having  lost  greatly 
by  the  lack  of  such  official  supervision  for  several  years.  The  long 
settled  southern  part  has  somewhat  decreased  in  population,  while 
wealth  has  increased,  without  like  increase  of  spiritual  consecra- 
tion. The  newer  section  is  active  and  enterprising,  with  growing 
cities  and  active  educational  and  religious  sentiment.  Presbyterian 
interests  have  not  kept  pace.  Muskegon,  with  30,000  people,  has 
no  Presbyterian  church.  The  same  is  true  of  Manistee,  with 
12,000,  and  other  considerable  places.  Churches  established  here 
would  soon  be  independent  and  contributing.  Lengthening  rail- 
roads are  multiplying  such  points,  and  inviting  aggression.  The 
people  in  the  great  lumbering  and  mining  northern  section  are 
heterogeneous,  and  mostly  poor,  living  in  small  and  scattered 
villages,  with  many  prematurely-organized  and  poorly-supported 
churches.  Inter-denominational  co-operation  would  help  things. 
District  pastors  would  contribute  to  relief,  supplying  the  absence 


1892.]  BOARD     OF     HOME     MISSIONS.  13 

of  permanent  work.  Much  foundation-work  is  lost  for  want  of 
continuance,  which  would  strengthen  the  things  that  remain. 
Young  and  strong  men  are  needed  here,  who  could  stand  scanty 
support  for  a  time.  There  have  been  no  great  awakenings,  but  a 
fully  average  outcome  for  the  year  in  growth  and  additions. 

MINNESOTA  AND  WISCONSIN. 

Minnesota  steadily  prospers,  as  heretofore.  Swedish  work 
should  be  pressed.  The  Synod  is  in  earnest.  Gen.  Adams  is 
active  and  wise  in  supervision.  St.  Paul  and  Minneapolis  are  a 
great  twin-city  centre,  whose  Presbyterian  alliances  are  tireless 
and  wide-awake.  Contributions  have  increased  and  appropriations 
diminished,  and  there  is  a  fixed  purpose  to  do  better  still. 

Wisconsin's  large  foreign  work,  which  for  some  years  lagged  much 

behind,  has  gained  ground  under  the  zealous  push  of  Dr.  Thomas, 

our  Superintendent. 

IOWA. 

Iowa  is  emphatically  a  "  rural  district."  It  has  no  large  cities, 
and  no  condensed  masses  of  population.  With  55,000  square  miles, 
and  all  but  2,000,000  of  people,  it  is  almost  exclusively  an  agri- 
cultural State.  Its  southwestern  portion  is  as  fair  and  fertile  as 
any  equal  surface  on  earth.  The  Master's  vineyard  there  has  also 
its  progress  and  promise  to  show.  The  syuodical  missionary,  Rev. 
T.  S.  Bailey,  D.D.,  has  worked  his  field  with  his  usual  efficiency  and 
wisdom,  and  the  eight  presbyteries  with  their  233  ministers  and  .'174 
churches  have  earnestly  co-operated.  Large  collections  for  the 
Board  have  been  urged  to  considerable  purpose.  The  whole  field 
should  have  the  larger  supply  of  men  which  ample  means  would 
allow.  In  many  instances,  here  as  elsewhere,  two  fields  would  sup- 
port two  men  almost  as  readily  as  one  under  the  stimulus  ol  the  in- 
creased service,  and  the  work  would  be  more  fully  and  rapidly  done. 
In  such  cases  a  small  advance  from  the  Board,  much  below  a  double 
appropriation,  would  thus  allow  an  increase  of  force,  and,  as  a 
result,  of  work  which  would  hasten  the  attainment  of  self-support, 
as  well  as  the  doubling  of  contributions.  There  is  an  illustration 
here  of  that  "  withholding  of  more  than  is  meet,"  which  "tendeth 
to  poverty."     Our  aim  on  such  fields  should  be  the  rapid  estab- 


14  ANNUAL     REPORT     OF     THE  [1892. 

fislmient  of  strong  churches,  which  would  hold  and  control  whole 
communities.  The  State,  which  some  two  or  three  years  ago  was 
almost  at  a  standstill,  is  now  fast  filling  up,  and  other  denomina- 
tions are  unusually  active.  Our  Church  must  not  lose  its  relative 
place  in  the  sacred  emulation,  as  it  has  done  in  Montana  and  else- 
where. Past  investment  and  present  need  and  opportunity  furnish 
reason  and  justification  for  immediate  and  generous  outlay.  The 
harvest  perishes,  as  in  Dakota  last  autumn,  if  the  reaping  lags  and 
the  laborers  are  too  few.  Seven  churches  were  organized  during 
the  year,  and  several  others  were  delayed  for  lack  of  means.  Four- 
teen new  church  edifices  and  fifteen  manses  have  been  built. 
Bohemian  work  has  prospered  at  Cedar  Rapids.  Four  presbyteries 
have  employed  two  evangelists  with  success.  A  missionary  con- 
vention was  held  with  much  interest  and  profit.  A  dozen  new  men 
are  needed  at  once  for  vacancies  and  openings.  The  synodical 
missionary  shrewdly  remarks  that  "if  the  desirable  fields  would 
take  the  undesirable  men  and  the  desirable  men  would  take  the 
undesirable  fields,"  there  would  be  "  a  leveling  up  and  filling  up  " 
devoutly  to  be  wished. 

KENTUCKY  AND  TENNESSEE. 
Our  Synod  here  is  far  less  numerous  and  strong,  but  not  at  all 
less  earnest  and  active,  than  that  of  our  Southern  brethren.  Our 
synodical  missionary,  Dr.  Dawson,  who  is  just  leaving  his  office  for 
a  Louisville  pastorate,  reports  four  church  buildings  erected  and 
one  handsome  manse  completed,  at  a  total  cost  of  about  $50,000  ; 
about  200  persons  added  to  Home  Mission  churches ;  Centre  College 
and  Danville  Theological  Seminary  increasingly  prosperous ;  three 
collegiate  institutes  doing  invaluable  work  in  the  three  presby- 
teries; the  equipment  and  commissioning  of  missionar}7  teachers 
for  work  among  the  200,000  neglected  and  needy  mountaineers  of 
the  eastern  third  of  the  State,  a  difficult  but  promising  field ; 
hindrance  and  discouragement  through  the  persistent  withholding 
of  fraternal  relations  and  co-operation  by  Southern  Presbyterians, 
who  cannot  be  happy  in  our  neighborhood ;  feebleness  in  our 
churches  in  general,  only  twenty  out  of  eighty-one  being  self- 
sustaining;  and  a  strong  and  valid  claim  on  the  Church  for  sym-

pathy  and  help  on  the  part  of  a  noble  people  who  are  maintaining 
an  unequal  but  unyielding  fight.  The  past  year  has  been  the  most 
prosperous  since  the  division  which  followed  the  war.  Gifts  have 
increased  twenty  per  cent.,  and  membership  twenty-three  per  cent. 
Our  synodical  missionary  in  Tennessee,  Rev.  C.  A.  Duncan, 
reports  that  in  our  new  Presbytery  of  Birmingham,  among  Northern 
operatives  and  new-comers  in  northern  Alabama,  we  have  hand- 
some buildings,  with  little  debt,  at  New  Decatur,  Sheffield,  Annis- 
ton,  Thomas  and  Pratt  Mines,  and  in  spite  of  very  hard  times  all 
have  made  some  numerical  and  spiritual  progress.  Two  new 
churches  have  been  organized  in  this  presbytery,  and  will  build  at 
once.  The  new  church  at  Bridgeport  has  a  specially  fine  prospect. 
Thomas  will  be  independent  next  year.  Marked  revivals  in  Mary- 
ville,  Tusculum  and  Washington  Colleges  have  brought  in  125 
young  people.  The  general  additions  have  been  large,  and  the 
whole  outlook  is  full  of  promise. 

MISSOURI. 

Missouri,  with  its  three  millions  of  people  and  boundless  re- 
sources, is  a  field  for  our  Church  which  has  never  had  its  full  and 
fair  share  of  tillage.  It  must  have  it  speedily,  in  added  means  and 
men,  and  will  repay  it  richly  and  rapidly.  In  spite  of  the  dis- 
couragement of  limited  aid,  twelve  churches  have  been  organized 
during  the  year.  Presbyteries  have  sent  brethren  "  two  and  two" 
to  hold  special  services  with  great  profit.  There  are  twenty  or 
thirty  places  fully  open  to  our  entrance — some  of  them,  as  South 
Hannibal,  with  4000  people,  not  only  without  Presbyterian  services, 
but  without  preaching  of  any  kind — four  points  in  St.  Louis  being 
notably  eligible. 

A  large  amount  of  new  railroad  is  building  or  to  be  built  at  once, 
and  the  inevitable  new  towns  should  be  pre-empted.  The  Germans, 
very  numerous  in  the  State,  are  moving  for  a  German  evangelist. 
The  12,000  Bohemians  in  St.  Louis,  with  their  Presbyterian  lean- 
ings, are  as  yet,  as  they  should  no  longer  be,  utterly  neglected. 
Twenty-four  new  men  have  come  into  the  field  within  the  year, 
and  nine  more  are  just  coming.  The  irrepressible  synodical  mis- 
sionary, Rev.  Alexander  Walker,  says  that  if  the  Board  will  only 


16  ANNUAL     REPORT     OF     THE  [1892. 

let  him  he  can  get  and  use  twenty-five  men  at  once  for  old  and  new 
work.  Three  churches  have  assumed  self-support,  and  several  more 
will  follow  this  summer,  making  expansion  possible  without  added 
expenditure.  Thirteen  new  church  buildings  have  been  dedicated, 
costing  $82,000  ;  four  are  now  building,  to  cost  $22,000 ;  and  two 
more  are  preparing  to  build.  Seven  new  manses  have  been  built, 
bought  or  given,  and  more  are  in  sight. 

Our  membership  in  Missouri  of  17,000  is  much  smaller  than  it 
might  and  should  be,  and  is  doubled  by  the  united  membership  of 
the  Southern  and  Cumberland  Churches,  which  reaches  34,000. 
The  Southern  Church  has  seven  evangelists  who  are  doing  good 
work.  They  are  very  short  of  men  to  fill  the  churches  they  orgauize. 
Our  Church  has  wide  scope  for  growth,  and  there  is  every  reason 
for  pushing  our  work. 

KANSAS. 

Kansas  goes  on  about  as  usual.  The  churches  are  in  general  well 
supplied.  Lack  of  means  has  of  course  checked  advanced  work.  The 
paralyziug  depression  of  two  years  past  from  debts  and  crop-failures 
is  rapidly  giving  place  to  confidence  and  solvency.  Ten  millions 
of  the  debts  which  have  crippled  three-fifths  of  the  farmers  have 
been  paid  off  during  the  past  year.  Without  much  new  immigra- 
tion, substantial  people  are  coming  in  and  buying  homes,  and  a 
sounder  basis  of  prosperity  than  ever  before  is  being  reached. 
Increased  self-support  and  larger  return  of  contributions  will  soon 
be  apparent.  A  strong  and  united  movement  in  this  direction  has 
been  set  on  foot  in  the  presbyteries  of  Emporia,  Topeka,  Neosho 
and  Highland.  Their  aim  is  to  pledge  their  churches  to  reduce 
appropriations  asked  for,  and  to  increase  gifts  to  the  Board  ten  per 
cent,  each  every  year — a  plan  as  wise  and  practical  as  possible. 
The  active  synodical  missionary,  Rev.  Dr.  Fleming,  reports  a 
number  of  marked  and  fruitful  revivals,  and  generally  encouraging 

conditions. 

NEBRASKA. 

Nebraska's  work  under  its  calm  and  wise  synodical  missionary, 
Dr.  Sexton,  has  gone  on  in  quiet  and  solid  fashion,  with  neither 
booms  nor  breaks.  Dr.  Sexton  says  they  have  done  the  best  they 
could  with  too  scant  supply  of  men  and  means.    Only  five  churches 


1892.]  BOARD      OF      HOME      MI88ION8.  17 

have  been  organized,  though  organization  has  been  sought  for  many 
more.  Seven  churches  have  assumed  self-support.  Six  new  edi- 
fices have  been  dedicated.  A  new  chapel  has  been  completed  for 
the  Third  Church  of  Lincoln.  More  building  will  go  on  this  year. 
The  additions  to  membership  at  least  equal  last  year.  Some 
churches  have  had  unusual  accessions,  as  many  as  forty  or  fifty. 
The  people  everywhere  are  harmonious,  loyal  and  earnest.  Almost 
the  only  thing  the  field  needs,  under  God's  blessing,  is  the  supply 
of  the  now  vacant  and  somewhat  discouraged  churches  with  good 
ministers,  for  which  at  least  twenty  men  are  needed. 

THE    DAKOTAS. 

These  splendid  twin  States  are  emerging  from  years  of  very  hard 
experience  through  drought  and  flood  and  failure  of  harvests,  caus- 
ing deplorable  depletion  and  paralysis,  especially  in  the  northern 
State.  Any  passenger  through  the  piled-up  harvest  of  the  famous 
Red  River  Valley  last  autumn  would  need  no  surer  proof  of  better 
times.  Long-standing  debts  have  been  paid  off  to  an  extent  which 
proves  the  general  and  thorough  relief.  Forty-three  vacancies 
among  ninety  churches  in  North  Dakota  last  year,  and  the  reduced 
force  and  expenditure  in  South  Dakota,  were  evidences  of  the 
painful  stress  whose  grip  is  so  pleasantly  slackening. 

The  churches  of  South  Dakota  have  grown  in  membership  and 
spiritual  strength.  Two  have  secured  manses  and  five  have  built, 
edifices.  Four  hundred  persons  have  been  received  on  confession. 
One  church  has  been  organized.  There  are  as  yet  only  four  self- 
supporting  churches  in  South  Dakota.  The  gospel  has  been  preached 
in  English,  German,  Bohemian  and  Dakota.  There  is,  of  course, 
much  lost  ground  to  regain.  Six  new  places  want  men  at  once. 
At  least  twenty-five  men  are  needed  for  vacancies  and  openings. 
The  Sisseton  Reservation  will  soon  be  open  and  occupied.  Eureka, 
with  800  people,  has  no  English  preaching.  Lead  City,  Watertown 
and  Yankton,  with  4000  to  7000,  have  no  Presbyterian  church. 
In  spite  of  drawbacks  we  have  made  much  headway,  and 
spiritual  revival  has  not  been  lacking.  Dr.  Carson,  the  synodical 
missionary,  thinks  that  the  prospects  were  never  before  so 
promising,  and  high  hopes  so   warrantable.     Rev.  F.  M.   Wood, 


18  ANNUAL     REPOKT     OF     THE  [1892. 

sy  nodical  missionary  in  North  Dakota,  who  has  held  out 
stoutly  through  stress  and  strain,  sees  like  signs  of  good  in  the 
unparalleled  wheat  harvest  of  fifty  to  sixty  millions  of  bushels — 
adding  the  suggestive  fact  that  only  one-eleventh  of  the  State's 
surface  is  as  yet  under  cultivation,  to  say  nothing  of  grazing  and 
stock-raising,  with  half  a  million  sheep  and  vast  herds  of  cattle  on 
the  ranges.  Yast  coal  beds  are  being  opened,  and  manufactories, 
though  barely  started,  are  growing  fast.  Railroad  extension,  sus- 
pended for  a  time,  is  to  begin  anew,  and  the  population  of  180,000 
must  rapidly  increase.  Thousands  more  of  working  men  will  be 
needed  this  spring.  Systematic  effort  is  on  foot  to  encourage  immi- 
gration. Thirty  millions  of  acres  of  productive  and  unoccupied 
land  await  new  comers.  Two  hundred  thousand  more  farmers  can 
each  have  a  quarter  section.  The  tide  will  soon  set  in.  Large 
proportions  of  the  incoming  people  are  Scandinavian  and  Canadian. 
They  are  intelligent  and  fairly  educated,  and  their  good  moral  bias 
is  shown  in  their  strong  repudiation  of  the  lottery  and  the 
saloon. 

North  Dakota  is  the  leading  Lutheran  stronghold.  The 
Methodists  come  next.  Our  Church  is  hardly,  if  at  all,  behind. 
Our  churches  have  had  500  additions,  300  on  confession.  Only  six 
churches  are  self-supporting.  Four  churches  have  been  organized, 
and  five  edifices  built.  Jamestown  College  is  an  element  of  strength, 
as  is  Pierre  University  in  South  Dakota.  One-third  of  the  charges 
are  without  the  stated  means  of  grace.  More  men  are  needed 
here  as  elsewhere.  Quality  is  as  important  as  quantity.  Twenty 
good  men  could  find  work  at  once.  The  people  are  full  of 
renewed  courage  and  sanguine  hope. 

COLORADO  AND  WYOMING. 
Colorado  has  lost  many  fields  from  the  Board's  inability  to  aid  in 
their  occupation.  But  there  are  many  more  which  may  now  be 
taken  and  held.  The  large  mining  camps  at  Rouse  and  Creede, 
the  latter  near  the  late  wonderful  find  of  gold,  should  at  once  be 
entered  on.  Wyoming  has  been  sadly  neglected,  and  must  have 
more  attention  and  outlay  this  season  without  fail.  Dr.  Kirkwood 
has  too  large  a  field,  and  Wyoming  should  have  the  supervision  of 


1892.]  BOARD     OF     HOME     MISSIONS.  19 

another  man.  Fifteen  more  men  should  be  speedily  in  commission. 
Five  out  of  the  eight  churches  organized  this  year  have  had  no 
help  from  the  Board,  and  one  has  had  no  preaching.  And  yet  the 
Presbyterian  Alliance  of  Denver  and  the  Home  Mission  Committee 
have  pushed  work  as  far  and  fast  as  they  were  able,  and  energy 
and  good-will  for  the  work  are  unabated.  The  Mexican  work  in 
southern  Colorado  is  advancing.  The  evangelists  are  active  and 
faithful,  and  the  churches  give  good  indications  of  healthful 
spiritual  life,  their  benevolent  contributions,  for  instance,  being 
proportionately  larger  than  those  of  neighboring  American 
churches. 

TEXAS. 

This  is  a  Home  Mission  field  for  a  whole  great  Church.  Our 
people  need  to  be  familiarized  by  repetition  with  the  idea  that  this 
vast  commonwealth  is  half  as  large  as  Alaska,  and  half  as  large 
again  as  California,  and  six  times  as  big  as  New  York.  It  is  by 
eminence  the  Home  Mission  ground  of  the  Southern  Church,  which 
everywhere  overshadows  and  outnumbers  our  own,  though  utterly 
inadequate  to  the  work  it  would  fain  monopolize,  and  showing  weak 
points  at  every  turn.  Our  synodical  missionary,  Dr.  Little, 
and  our  synod,  show  great  endurance.  Three  churches  have  been 
built  for  $6,000.  Five  have  been  organized,  with  three  Sunday- 
schools,  thirty-four  missionaries  have  been  employed  at  sixty- 
seven  places,  and  150  persons  have  been  received  on  confession. 
Foundations  have  been  broadened,  and  solid  results  surpass  showing. 
One  hundred  and  seventy-live  German  families  at  Fredericksburgh 
are  inclining  toward  our  Church,  and  the  movement  promises  en- 
largement. There  are,  perhaps,  150,000  Germans  in  the  State, 
two-thirds  of  them  now  English-speaking.  The  German  church  at 
Fredericksburg  is  building  a  new  church  to  cost  $10,000.  The 
German  call  to  our  Church  is  most  emphatic.  Our  Board  spent 
$17,000  in  Texas  last  year,  and  this  year  should  spend  $20,000  or 
more.  No  church  has  this  year  reached  self-support.  Contribu- 
tions have  increased,  but  Southern  Presbyterians  give  more  per 
member  than  ours  do.  And  yet  ours  give  a  larger  average  than 
that  of  our  whole  Church.  Sixty-six  out  of  256  southern  churches 
are  vacant,  and  some  reported  supplied  have  preaching  only  once

a  month.  This  year  chronicles  noted  growth  in  Taylor  and 
Wichita.  Very  important  points,  like  Velasco,  which,  with  its 
line  harbor,  aspires  and  promises  to  rival  Galveston,  and  "Waco, 
and  Fort  Worth,  and  Galveston  itself,  with  50,000  population, 
wait  for  an  occupation  by  us,  which  only  the  load  on  the  Board 
has  delayed.  Now  that  the  load  is  lightened,  onr  plant  can  and 
should  be  doubled  in  the  coining  year. 

NEW  MEXICO  AND  ARIZONA. 

The  Synod  of  New  Mexico,  only  three  years  old,  covers  these 
two  great  Territories,  with  122,000  and  1 13,000  square  miles  respec- 
tively— a  combined  area  half  as  large  as  Alaska,  and  five  times  as 
large  as  New  York  or  Pennsylvania.  The  large  school  work  among 
the  Mexican  population  will  be  detailed  under  woman's  work.  The 
synodical  missionary,  Rev.  James  A.  Menanl,  has  both  this  and  the 
church  work  under  his  charge.  About  twenty  Mexican  evangelists 
are  doing  a  peculiar  and  excellent  work  under  care  of  the  presby- 
teries and  pastors.  Decided  advance  has  been  made  in  all  direc- 
tions. School  attendance  has  improved,  notwithstanding  the  very 
good  public  school  system  just  inaugurated,  for  which  the  gradu- 
ates of  our  mission  schools  have  furnished  many  of  the  best  teachers. 
A  good  church  building  has  been  erected  at  Socorro  for  the  Spanish 
congregation,  and  chapels  are  building  at  La  Luz  and  Las  Valles. 
Want  of  men  and  means  has  prevented  the  organization  of  any 
churches  during  the  year.  Our  Church  has  not  yet  established  a 
single  mission  in  the  great  counties  of  Chaves,  Lincoln  and  Eddy 
in  Southeastern  New  Mexico.  Arizona  has  been  sadly  neglected. 
Phoenix  and  Silver  City  have  suffered  for  want  of  attention. 
Mexican  work  is  opeuing  up  more  and  more,  and  calls  for  schools 
and  churches  at  such  places  as  Solomon ville,  Tucson  and  Phoenix. 
Our  mission  at  Flagstaff,  Arizona,  is  only  a  year  old,  and  yet  the 
people  have  completed  a  new  edifice,  and  are  paying  half  the  salary 
of  their  capable  pastor,  Dr.  Coltman,  formerly  Superintendent  of 
our  Albuquerque  school.  The  Albuquerque  church  has  become 
self-supporting,  and  has  built  a  handsome  manse.  At  Las  Cruces 
a  fine  brick  edifice  has  been  bought  from  the  M.  E.  Church  South, 
and  when  the  congregation  has  completed  payment  therefor,  it  will 


1892.]  BOAKD     OF     HOME     MISSIONS.  21 

at  once  assume  self-support.     Spanish  preaching  has  been  begun  at 
Pena  Blanca,  and  a  church  will  soon  be  organized. 

The  synod  a  year  ago  had  eighty-one  more  Mexican  members 
than  American.  This  year  the  Mexican  membership  exceeds  the 
American  by  242.  The  membership  of  the  Indian  church  at  Sacaton 
has  more  than  doubled  during  the  year. 

INDIAN    TERRITORY    AND    OKLAHOMA. 

There  is  nothing  specially  new  to  note  in  our  mission  work  in 
Cherokee,  Choctaw,  Chickasaw  and  Muscogee  Presbyteries.  Dr. 
Hill,  our  synodical  missionary,  has  managed  the  troublesome 
matter  of  contracts  for  schools  with  the  councils  in  a  wise  and 
economical  way.  The  three  Presbyteries  number  43  ministers, 
seven  or  more  of  them  natives,  nine  licentiates,  and  77  chinches, 
with  2,173  communicants.  Changes  are  frequent,  and  good  men 
are  not  as  plenty  as  desirable.  The  schools  are  here  relatively  a 
more  important  part  of  our  work  than  in  any  other  field.  A  few 
new  points  have  been  opened.  The  white  children  of  the  territory 
should  have  more  recognition  and  provision  than  hitherto.  Both 
churches  and  schools  could  be  wisely  increased  if  means  were 
sufficient.  Mission  work  might  be  indefinitely  extended  among 
the  full-bloods,  as  also  among  the  "  blanket "  tribes  in  the  western 
part  of  the  territory,  for  whom  very  little  has  as  yet  been 
attempted.  The  Southern  Utes  in  Colorado,  the  Uintahs  in  Utah, 
and  the  Apaches  in  Arizona,  are  all  open  to  us,  and  all  utterly 
neglected  and  needy.  A  move  has  lately  been  made  toward  be- 
ginning work  among  the  latter,  means  having  been  offered  by  a 
wealthy  member  of  a  New  York  rural  church. 

Oklahoma  will  be  greatly  enlarged  by  the  opening  and  addition 
of  the  "Cherokee  strip,"  200  miles  long  and  30  wide,  lying  be- 
tween it  and  Kansas.  The  Board  has  already  authorized  six  new 
men  for  the  six  new  county  seats.  The  inflow  of  population  will 
open  a  new  field  and  a  new  demand  for  Home  Mission  work,  as  in 
the  case  of  the  lately-opened  Sisseton  Reservation  in  South  Dakota. 
Our  church  in  El  Reno,  under  Rev.  C.  L.  Miller,  has  perhaps  the 
largest  audience  in  Oklahoma.  Rev.  W.  L.  Miller,  his  father,  our 
missionary  at  Oklahoma  City  from  the  beginning,  is  just  leaving 


22  ANNUAL      REPORT     OF      THE  [1892. 

his  neat  church  building  and  large  and  nourishing  congregation  for 
a  field  near  his  former  one  in  Indian  Territory.  Our  church  in 
Guthrie,  the  capital,  has  not  done  so  well,  but  is  holding  its  own. 
Oklahoma  will  make  new  demands  upon  us  before  long.  We 
have  been  too  slow  there  already.  Older  places  can  wait  awhile, 
but  this  cannot  be  put  off.  Kansas,  for  instance,  can  afford  delay 
of  new  work,  since  thousands  of  its  people  will  pour  into  the  new 
tract  just  open,  depleting  its  border  counties  for  the  time,  as  when 
Oklahoma  itself  was  opened  three  years  ago.  So  even  Missouri's 
valid  and  waiting  claims  will  bear  a  brief  and  partial  postpone- 
ment until  the  new  centres  have  been  pre-empted  by  pioneer 
missionaries  who  go  in  abreast  of  the  first  wave  of  settlers.  Time 
and  tide  wait  for  no  missionary.  The  older  part  of  Oklahoma  is 
not  more  than  half  manned,  and  the  new  section  must  be  more 
promptly  and  punctually  handled.  Presbyterian  hands  must  not 
fail  to  lay  their  share  of  the  foundations  of  the  coming  state,  and 
for  this  a  little  haste  will  be  more  effective,  as  well  as  more 
economical,  than  undue  deliberation. 

UTAH,  MONTANA  AND  IDAHO. 
These  may  be  grouped  together  as  included  in  the  Synod  of 
Utah,  though  part  of  Idaho  belongs  to  the  Synod  of  Washington. 
Utah  and  Idaho  are  linked  by  the  Mormonism  which  dominates 
one  and  partly  holds  possession  of  the  other.  "  The  Church  of 
Jesus  Christ  of  Latter-day  Saints  "  has  suffered  from  the  growing 
incursion  of  the  "  Gentiles,"  who  have  fairly  established  their  major- 
ity and  supremacy  in  Ogden  and  Salt  Lake  City,  and  have  in  hand 
the  municipal  offices  and  the  public  schools.  Park  City,  twenty- 
five  miles  east  of  Salt  Lake  City,  the  site  and  product  of  the  great 
Ontario  mine,  and  the  other  mining  towns  throughout  the  territory 
in  general,  are,  as  they  have  always  been,  under  Gentile  influence. 
Logan  and  its  surrounding  villages  in  the  lovely  Cache  Valley  in 
the  north  are  moving  fast  in  the  same  direction.  The  American- 
ization of  Mormondom  is  only  a  question  of  time,  and  can  only  be 
retarded  or  prevented  by  the  premature  granting  of  statehood  to  the 
territory,  the  prospect  of  which  is  growing  no  brighter,  eagerly  as 
the  Mormon  hierarchy  would  welcome  it.     Mormonism  as  a  system 


1892.]  BOARD     OF      HOME     MISSIONS.  23 

remains  unchanged  in  its  autagonism  to  Americanism  and  Chris- 
tianity and  the  social  ethics  characteristic  of  both,  despite  Mormon 
protestations  of  the  abandonment  of  plural  marriage  and  of  loyalty  to 
the  Government.  Some  of  its  staunchest  opponents  have  mistakenly 
inclined  to  credit  the  strenuous  declarations  to  this  effect,  but  most 
from  past  experience  "  fear  the  Greeks  even  when  bringing  gifts," 
and  deprecate  any  legislative  movement  toward  granting  a  state 
organization  until  it  is  put  beyond  question  that  Gentile  officers  are 
to  manage  it.  The  territory  is  full  of  wealth,  agricultural  and 
mineral,  and  its  development  is  rapidly  growing.  Large  parts  of 
its  area  of  82,000  square  miles  are  as  fair  and  fertile  as  any  land  the 
sun  shines  on.  During  its  history  of  fifty  years  its  population  has 
reached  207,000,  and  when  American  and  Christian  ideas  shall 
fairly  become  dominant,  its  people  will  have  as  rich  a  home  and 
heritage  as  any  State  of  the  Union. 

Dr.  Sheldon  Jackson  first  prospected  here  for  the  work  of  the 
Board,  soon  followed  by  Dr.  Cyrus  Dickson,  in  1871.  The  first 
Presbyterian  organization  was  at  Corinne,  a  thoroughly  Gentile 
station  on  the  Union  Pacific  Railroad.  The  Rev.  Josiah  Welch 
was  sent  to  Salt  Lake  City  the  same  year,  and  the  church  was 
organized  in  November  of  the  same  year.  The  city  then  had 
a  population  of  15,000,  with  less  than  3000  Americans.  Mormons 
then  filled  all  the  offices,  and  the  priesthood  controlled  public 
sentiment  and  defied  courts  and  laws.  The  Presbyterian  ministers 
and  their  sympathizers  from  the  first  were  foes  to  the  hierarchy, 
but  friends  to  the  people.  In  the  face  of  difficulties  and  menaces 
they  advocated  free  thought  and  speech,  and  stood  steadfastly 
for  Americanization,  Christian  patriotism  and  moral  reform.  In 
1875  our  Collegiate  Institute  was  established  on  a  commanding 
central  site,  and  it  has  been  ever  since,  as  it  still  is,  in  spite  of 
insufficient  buildings  and  equipment,  the  best  school  in  the  terri- 
tory. The  lately-established  free-school  system  has  somewhat  nar- 
rowed its  range,  or,  rather,  elevated  its  plane  and  aim  from  primary 
and  academic  to  collegiate  education ;  but  in  the  new  shape  of  a 
Christian  college,  with  ample  appliances  and  perhaps  on  another 
and  suburban  site,  it  has  before  it  a  valuable  and  notable  career  as  a 
chief  radiating  centre  of  the  higher  education  in  the  coming  State. 


24  ANNUAL      REPORT      OF     THE  [1892. 

During  the  past  year,  through  drawbacks  and  setbacks,  our 
Church  has  more  than  held  its  own.  Three  new  churches  have 
been  organized — Kaysville,  in  Utah,  and  Phillipsburg  and  Neihart, 
in  Montana.  Montpelier,  in  Idaho,  has  received  thirty-four  mem- 
bers by  confession.  Idaho  Falls  has  completed  a  neat  edifice. 
Idaho  College,  at  Caldwell,  has  twenty  students.  In  Utah  there 
have  been  what  our  indefatigable  synodical  missionary,  Dr. 
Wishard,  calls  "  old-fashioned  revivals "  at  Richfield,  Salina, 
American  Fork  and  Box  Elder  (Brigham  City).  Our  much  and 
long-enduring  missionary  at  the  last-named  place,  Rev.  S.  L. 
Gillespie,  "  after  twelve  or  thirteen  years'  pounding  against  the 
solid  walls  of  irreligion,  has  at  length  seen  them  give  way,"  and 
reports  full  and  solemn  meetings,  with  fifty  persons  interested. 
Two  new  missions  have  been  established  on  good  sites  in 
Salt  Lake  City,  and  the  young  people  are  active,  while  our  two 
older  churches  there  are  holding  on  their  way.  A  new  church  will 
soon  be  organized  at  Salina.  Dr.  Wishard  has  received  fifty-four 
persons  on  confession  during  the  year,  and  reports  the  whole  out- 
look as  encouraging.  The  congregation  at  ISTephi  has  been  grow- 
ing rapidly.  At  Ogdeu,  where  the  Rev.  Josiah  McClain  labored  so 
long  and  well,  until  his  recent  removal  to  ISTephi,  the  Rev.  Dr. 
James  Shields,  formerly  of  St.  Louis,  has  succeeded  him  with  great 
promise  of  efficiency.  Scipio  and  Fillmore,  Parowan  and  Cedar 
City,  St.  George  and  its  southern  region,  are  three  fields  which 
should  speedily  get  good  ministers,  with  three  chapels.  Mount 
Pleasant,  where  Dr.  McMillan  years  ago  was  the  stout-hearted 
pioneer  in  purely  Mormon  mission  work,  and  in  dark  and  perilous 
days,  has  its  completed  academy  filled  to  overflowing. 

Montana,  with  its  boundless  wealth  and  fast-growing  popula- 
tion, deserves  double  the  attention  and  work  which  it  has  ever 
received. 

Our  Church,  early  on  the  ground  and  in  the  van,  has  in  its  dozen 
years  of  labor  fallen  back  from  first  to  third  place  for  lack  of  due 
expenditure  of  men  and  means.  The  field  would  richly  repay  all 
the  spiritual  culture  our  Church  would  give  it. 

The  school- work  in  Utah  will  have  further  notice  under  the  head 
of  woman's  work.

PACIFIC    COAST. 

CALIFORNIA    AND    NEVADA. 

This  mighty  State,  all  but  as  large  as  France,  and  richer  by  far 
than  that  great  country,  has  need  and  scope  for  all  possible 
evangelistic  effort  and  enterprise.  By  far  the  larger  portion  of 
its  156,000  square  miles  is  one  great  wheat  field  and  fruit 
garden.  San  Bernardino  County  in  the  south  rivals  Florida 
as  the  foster-home  of  the  orange.  The  San  Joaquin  Valley, 
200  miles  by  30,  is  one  gigantic  and  golden  wheat  farm,  and 
the  little  railway  stations  are  annual  depots  for  millions  of  bushels. 
Mt.  Shasta  in  the  northwest  looks  down  from  its  14,000  feet  on  the 
vast  expanse  of  Tehama  and  Napa  and  Humboldt,  and  a  dozen 
adjacent  counties  resplendent  with  fruits  and  flowers  in  endless 
variety  and  abundance.  Almost  the  whole  State  is  a  natural  vine- 
yard and  olive-yard,  and  grows  well  nigh  every  product  that 
appeals  attractively  to  sight  or  taste  or  smell.  The  rich  alfalfa, 
replacing  the  eastern  timothy  and  clover,  fattens  countless  herds 
on  uumberlcss  ranches.  San  Francisco  is  the  nation's  gateway  to 
China,  Japan  and  Australia. 

When  California's  two  or  three  millions  shall  have  multiplied,  as 
they  soon  will,  to  France's  thirty-six,  they  will  luxuriate  amidst  all 
material  wealth  upon  and  beneath  the  soil. 

But  amid  all  this  natural  splendor  of  growth  religion  lags 
behind.  It  is  true  that  in  some  quarters  great  things  have  been 
done  and  a  noble  spirit  shown.  Los  Angeles  Presbytery  carries 
the  banner  of  the  Church  for  patient  and  persistent  zeal  in  self- 
extension.  San  Francisco  Theological  Seminary,  just  removed 
to  new  and  ample  quarters  among  the  lovely  surroundings  of 
San  Rafael,  has,  by  means  of  generous  gifts  at  home,  taken 
a  long  stride  toward  its  great  function  of  furnishing  a  local 
ministry. 

Our  two  synodical  missionaries,  covering  California  and  Nevada — 
in  the  latter  of  which  our  work  is  as  small  as  the  population — are 
incessant  in  their  efforts  to  overtake  a  work  which  would  tax  the 
best  energies  of  ten  men,  and  they  are  nobly  seconded  by  many  wise 
and  able  helpers.  And  yet  the  fact  remains  that  the  progress  is  far 
behind  the  need.     One  church  has  been  organized  during  the  year, 


26  ANNUAL      REPORT      OF      THE  [1892. 

and  eight  edifices  built  at  a  cost  of  over  $30,000.  But  there  have 
been  no  marked  revivals,  and  additions  have  been  few.  Fifteen 
churches  report  only  46  additions  by  confession,  while  the  average 
this  year  in  the  Church  at  large  considerably  exceeds  the  usual  aver- 
age of  seven  or  eight  to  a  minister.  Our  many  churches  are  as  yet 
mostly  dependent  on  the  Board,  and  there  is  a  scanty  supply  of  good 
and  efficient  ministers.  A  wider  spiritual  quickening  would  so  take 
tribute  of  the  superabundant  resources  at  band  as  soon  to  raise  all 
the  congregations  above  the  need  of  outside  help.  The  singularly 
heterogeneous  population  of  San  Francisco  is  under  the  spell  of 
materialism,  even  more  utterly  than  in  any  other  great  city  ;  and  our 
seventeen  churches,  whose  number  has  not  increased  in  six  years 
past,  and  only  by  three  in  fifteen  years,  are  so  chilled  by  the  un- 
genial  atmosphere  that  they  do  not  impress  themselves  with  full 
weight  upon  the  dead  masses  about  them.  Only  three  per  cent, 
of  the  young  men  ever  attend  church.  The  colossal  fortunes  are 
untithed  for  the  service  of  the  Kingdom  of  God.  Our  synodical 
missionary  says  that  the  city  is  one  great  mission  held.  Del  Norte 
County,  in  the  far  northwest,  with  over  1500  square  miles,  has  but 
one  Protestant  minister,  and  a  Presbyterian  church  organization  is 
much  desired  in  Crescent  City,  its  chief  town,  the  best  block  having 
just  been  given  for  church  building  and  manse.  Similar  destitutions 
among  the  State's  fifty-three  counties  might  be  found.  There  is  a 
prospect  of  the  revival  of  some  business  interests  which  will  prove 
helpful.  A  few  years  ago  most  of  the  hydraulic  mines  were 
discontinued  by  law,  as  their  washings  filled  up  rivers  and  bays. 
New  arrangements  have  just  been  made  for  their  reopening. 
It  is  claimed  that  property  to  the  amount  of  one  hundred  millions 
of  dollars  has  been  lying  idle,  and  that  resumption  would  bring 
ten  millions  of  gold  every  year  from  the  mines.  But  a  general 
religious  revival  is  the  great  need ;  and  until  that  is  granted,  the 
Church  at  large,  through  its  Board,  must  pour  into  California  the 
means  of  increased  work  without  stint  and  without  delay. 

OREGON    AND    WASHINGTON. 

These  great  twin  transraontane  States  form  a  Pacific  empire,  rich 
and  powerful  beyond  compute.     Portland  is  said  to  be  the  third 


1892.]  BOARD     OF     HOME     MISSIONS.  27 

richest  city  in  the  Republic,  and  if  not  so  now,  it  will  surely  soon 
be.  Its  millions,  uulike  San  Francisco,  are  largely  tributary  to 
Christ,  and  largely  also  in  open  Presbyterian  hands.  It  is  a  strong 
radiating  centre  of  Christian  forces.  Its  Presbyterian  churches  are 
alive  and  awake,  and  its  Presbyterian  Alliance  is  a  power.  The 
Presbyterian  stir  thereabouts  invites,  as  it  will  respond  to  by 
quickened  growth  and  activity,  the  coming  of  the  General  Assem- 
bly. The  whole  broad  region  is  by  emphasis  the  great  Home 
Mission  Held  of  to-day.  u  Booms"  slacken  and  business  stagnates 
for  a  while  here  and  there;  but  these  are  but  eddies  in  the  flood 
which  does  not  and  will  not  pause.  Where  there  is  almost  utter 
dependence  to-day  there  may  be  self-support  tomorrow.  A  church 
planted  in  a  new  town,  but  paralyzed  for  the  time  by  business 
reverses,  will  justify  its  existence  before  the  season  ends  by  proof 
of  life  and  strength.  Stinted  aid  from  the  Board  lor  a  year  and 
more  past  has  of  course  lamentably  retarded  development  and 
hindered  extension.  The  lack  of  a  synodical  missionary  in  Oregon 
has  been  of  further  disadvantage.  The  presbyteries  were  unduly 
dissatisfied  because  the  Board  could  not  grant  applications  in  full 
and  could  not  send  new  men.  No  field  could  be  more  inviting. 
Southwestern  Oregon  is  a  fruit  garden.  The  Willamette  Valley  is 
as  rich  as  Eden.  Eastern  Washington  is  a  mine  of  wealth  on  and 
under  the  soil.  Puget  Sound,  with  its  unsurpassed  harbors,  such  as 
Bellingham  Bay  and  the  harbor  of  Seattle,  is  to  be  the  entrepot  of 
Asia.  The  sure  needs  of  the  mighty  mass  of  population  certain  to 
be  soon  there  gathered  must  be  discounted  and  provided  for,  if  our 
Church  in  the  future  is  not  to  lose  time  and  ground  as  in 
the  past. 

A  score  of  waiting  points,  where  enforced  delay  has  made  the 
beginning  harder  and  more  costly  than  it  need  have  been,  should 
be  occupied  at  once.  Several  possible  stations  around  Bandon,  in 
Coos  County  on  the  sea  coast,  which  our  tireless  missionary  Eneas 
McLean  has  for  months  been  pleading  for,  should  get  at  least  the 
first  installment  of  supply  before  the  Assembly.  Places  like 
Everett,  only  six  months  old,  and  selling  lots  for  $2500  apiece, 
should  be  manned  and  organized  betimes;  and  held  through  the 
inevitable  reaction  to  the  solid  prosperity  which  may  be  reckoned

on  beyond.  Our  valuable  and  judicious  synodical  missionary, 
Rev.  Dr.  Gunn,  should  be  at  once  backed  up  with  a  prompt 
accession  of  men  and  means.  No  more  potent  incentive  could 
be  furnished  to  the  Home  Mission  enthusiasm  of  the  General 
Assembly  than  a  present  display  of  large  and  liberal  intentions 
in  regard  to  all  the  broad  expanse  of  that  needy  and  teeming 
Pacific  slope. 

Four  new  fields  in  Walla  Walla  County — a  wheat  region  only 
second  to  Red  River  Valley — should  be  manned  at  once  to  save  them. 
Johnson  is  a  new  town  on  the  Pelonse  branch  of  the  Northern  Pacific 
Railroad,  where  Presbyterians  wait  and  lots  and  money  are  offered 
us.  The  tract  reports  the  champion  yield  of  100  bushels  of  wheat  to 
the  acre,  and  a  town  on  a  temperance  basis.  Dr.  Gunn  says  there 
are  not  less  than  thirty  such  places  in  the  synod,  that  he  might 
man  them  all  with  twenty  men,  and  that  he  u  cannot  stand  this 
much  longer."  He  adds  that  that  region  must  have  the  "  most 
sprightly  and  consecrated  talents."  Almost  all  the  churches,  under 
difficulties,  have  made  good  progress.  Several  new  towns  are 
developing  with  unusual  activity  :  Edison  and  Oakes,  nearTacoma, 
where  the  Northern  Pacific  car  shops  are  situated ;  and  Everett, 
above  referred  to,  sixty  miles  north  of  Seattle,  where  a  church  edifice 
is  almost  ready  for  dedication ;  and  Pe  Ell,  on  the  extension  of  the 
Yakima  and  South  Bend  Railroad,  and  several  new  points  in  Mason 
County  on  the  Port  Townsend  and  Southern  Railway,  and  on  the 
new  line  from  Winlock  to  the  mouth  of  the  Columbia  at  llwaco. 
Two  new  men  are  called  for  in  Whatcom  County,  and  more  in 
Clallam  County,  and  about  Spokane  in  Idaho.  Irrigation  systems  in 
the  Natches,  Moxee  and  Yakima  Valleys  have  multiplied  homesteads 
and  settlers  to  an  extent  which  demands  attention  and  supply. 
The  vast  projection  of  irrigating  ditches  thereabouts  will  redeem  a 
million  acres  to  fertility,  and  multiply  their  value  tenfold.  Through 
delay  the  college  property  and  facilities  offered  us  at  Pasco  have  at 
last  slipped  through  our  fingers.  In  spite  of  restrictions  nine  new 
churches  have  been  added  to  the  roll,  and  the  growth  in  total 
membership  is  not  less  than  twenty-five  per  cent.,  while  that  in 
benevolence  and  self-support  has  been  larger  still.  The  projected 
Fairhaven  University  is  not  yet  assured,  but  Whitworth  College

and  the  academies  at  Ellensburgh  and  Kelso  and  Pendleton  and 
Portland  and  Albany  are  doing  well. 

WOMAN'S    WORK. 

This  large  and  superb  department  of  the  Board's  work,  under 
the  management  of  the  tireless  and  vigorous  Woman's  Executive 
Committee,  presents  lor  the  year  no  novel  or  salient  features. 
With  less  than  the  usual  enlargement,  there  have  been  solid  pro- 
gress and  a  success  both  substantial  and  brilliant.  The  large  and 
elegant  building  all  but  completed  for  a  higher  grade  of  education 
for  girls  at  Asheville,  the  new  buildings  soon  to  be  under  contract 
on  a  much  more  eligible  site  than  the  present  one  at  Concord,  and 
the  opening  of  like  work  for  boys  in  the  new  department  founded 
by  the  Board  in  connection  with  Washington  College  in  Tennessee, 
mark  a  great  stride  in  advance  in  the  fascinating  work  among  the 
mountain  whites.  The  Sitka  Training  School,  with  its  170  pupils, 
which  has  already  attained  a  splendid  success,  is  in  process  of 
thorough  reorganization,  with  a  view  to  still  greater  efficency. 

The  schools  in  New  Mexico  and  the  Indian  Territory  have  grown 
and  prospered.  Muscogee  is  to  have  an  additional  building.  The 
Indian  Training  School  at  Tuscon,  Arizona,  for  Pimas  and  Papagoes, 
under  Superintendent  Billman,  is  a  model  institution.  Crowded 
attendance  and  powerful  revivals  have  been  marked  features  of  the 
year's  work  in  Utah.  Revised  rules  have  inaugurated  more 
thorough  discipline  in  all  the  schools.  New  undertakings  are 
projected  and  proposed  among  the  Southern  Utes  in  Colorado  and 
the  neglected  Apaches  in  Arizona.  The  Sisseton  school  maintains 
efficient  work  undisturbed  by  the  recent  opening  of  the  reservation. 
In  all  those  lines,  emphatically  in  that  of  the  mountain  whites, 
there  is  an  open  door  for  indefinite  enlargement  and  unlimited 
blessing,  under  the  pressure  of  our  vast  organized  host  of  warm- 
hearted Christian  women. 

BOARDS   OF    CHURCH    ERECTION    AND   PUBLICATION. 

These  sister  Boards  have  stood  shoulder  to  shoulder  with  us  in 
the  common  work  in  which  their  aid  is  indispensable  and  invalu- 
able.

are  not  on  the  Board's  list.  In  South  Carolina,  Georgia, 
Mississippi  and  Louisiana  only  we  have  no  work.

REPORT   OF    THE   STANDING   COMMITTEE   ON    HOME 

MISSIONS. 


Your  Committee  have  examined  carefully  the  twenty-second  annual  report  of 
the  Board  of  Home  Missions,  as  presented  to  you,  and  the  no  less  admirable  annual 
report  submitted  by  the  Woman's  Executive  Committee,  giving  a  summary  of  the 
work  of  that  Committee  during  the  past  year,  and  they  cordially  commend  both  of 
these  documents  to  the  attentive  study  of  the  members  of  this  assembly,  and  to  all 
the  ministers  and  elders  of  our  beloved  Church.  They  have  also  scrutinized  the 
records  of  the  Board  for  the  year  just  closed,  and  have  noted  with  appreciation,  in 
which  the  whole  Church  would  join,  the  evident  fidelity  of  the  Board  to  its  great 
trust,  and  the  immense  amount  of  exacting,  perplexing  and  successful  business 
which  its  members  have  voluntarily  dispatched.  They  have  consulted  with  repre- 
sentatives of  the  Board,  with  the  fourteen  synodical  missionaries  who  are  present 
at  this  Assembly,  and  with  anjr  other  missionary  workers  that  consented  to  appear 
before  us  After  investigating  all  sources  of  information  available  during  the  brief 
period  allotted  to  our  work,  your  Committee  feel  deeply  that  in  the  home  missionary 
work  of  the  year  we  should  all  find  occasion  for  devout  thankfulness  to  the  God  of 
all  grace,  for  humiliation  and  prayer  in  view  of  our  failure  to  seize  upon  our  mar- 
velous opportunities,  and  for  larger  hope,  resolution  and  devotion  as  to  the  future. 
We  record  with  a  sense  of  personal  loss,  but  with  great  gratitude  for  their  finished 
services  on  earth,  the  translation  of  Jacob  D.  Vermilye,  long  a  valued  and  influen- 
tial member  of  the  Board,  and  of  nine  faithful  and  honored  missionaries.  We  do 
not  forget  Dr.  Henry  Kendall  in  the  rest  and  retirement  of  age  after  many  years 
of  valiant  service  as  senior  Secretary.  We  record  with  keen  regret  and  with  shame 
the  inability  of  the  Board  to  keep  pace  with  the  evangelical  opportunities  of  our 
great  and  growing  country,  and  even  the  suffering  and  hardships  of  our  mission- 
aries, on  account  of  the  totally  inadequate  means  of  support  supplied  by  the 
churches.  Yet  we  by  no  means  ignore  the  bright  side  of  the  picture.  The  Board 
has  nobly  discharged  its  high  duties  in  the  face  of  great  difficulties.  As  its  mem- 
bership is  now  to  be  enlarged,  its  burdens  can  be  distributed.  Rev.  William  C. 
lloberts,  D.D  ,  LL.D  ,  for  many  years  a  devoted  member  of  the  Board,  and  for  five 
years  one  of  its  most  wise,  courteous  and  efficient  Secretaries,  after  several  years  of 
successful  service  as  President  of  Lake  Forest  University,  has  returned  to  his 
former  post,  having  been  "  unanimously  elected  by  ballot  senior  Secretary,  next  to 
Dr.  Kendall."  Its  overtaxed  executive  officers  will  be  thus  relieved  and  reinforced. 
The  missionaries  of  the  Board  have  been  active,  persevering,  patient  and  uncom- 
plaining under  the  unjust  sacrifices  imposed  by  the  niggardliness  of  the  Church. 
As  the  permanent  funds  of  the  Board,  available  as  collateral  securities  in  borrowing 
money  during  the  season  when  receipts  are  small,  have  become  considerably  larger, 
and  as  it  is  to  be  hoped  that  the  churches  will  wake  up  to  their  obligations  before 
their  Saviour  and  their  country,  it  may  be  expected  that  salaries  will  hereafter  be 
promptly  paid,  and  that  missionaries  may  no  longer  suffer  on  account  of  tardy 
remittances.  The  trust  funds  have  been  increased  during  the  year  in  all  by 
$82,596,  of  which  $60,465  have  come  directly  to  the  Board  itself,  and  $22,131  have 
been  given  through  the  Woman's  Executive  Committee.  The  grievous  debt  of 
$98,346,  reported  last  year,  has  been  reduced  by  $31,253.  The  debt  at  this  time 
remains  at  $67,093. 


150  APPENDIX. 

This  Assembly  ought  to  be  pre-eminently  the  home  missionary  assembly.  It 
will  be  dated  from  the  four  hundredth  anniversary  of  the  discovery  of  the  "Western 
World.  It  should  symbolize  the  fact  that  we  serve  an  infinitely  loftier  king  than 
Ferdinand,  and  serve  Him  without  selfishness  or  superstition.  Kepresenting  a  lead- 
ing Christian  church  of  the  chief  nation  in  this  still  new  continent,  whose  eastern 
rim  was  at  the  very  first  moment  of  occupation  consecrated  nominally  to  the  cross, 
its  crowning  ambition  should  be  to  bring  our  already  dominant  republic  under  the 
actual  sovereignty  of  the  crucified,  from  shore  to  shore.  Its  commissioners  have 
reached  its  sessions  by  traversing  an  empire  mightier  than  the  Macedonian  ever 
imagined,  and  organized  more  closely  and  beneficently  than  any  Caesar  could  have 
dreamed.  You  have  caught  glimpses  of  virgin  capabilities  in  this  prodigal  land 
that  eclipse  the  fabled  wealth  of  Ormus  or  of  Ind  At  every  step  of  your  progress, 
and  in  every  hour  of  your  sojourn,  you  have  enjoyed  comforts  and  luxuries  of  which 
your  fathers  had  no  prevision,  and  in  which  modern  inventions  have  surpassed  the 
ancient  marvels  of  mythology.  It  would  be  bad  enough  for  any  American  citizen 
to  join  in  the  vulgar  foreign  disparagement  which  mingles  with  the  helpless  foreign 
wonderment,  with  respect  to  the  transcendent  material  and  spiritual  possibilities  of 
our  America.  But  it  is  a  burning  shame  for  any  American  Christian,  much  more 
any  American  minister,  to  bury  his  patriotism  and  to  expatriate  his  religion  by 
neglecting  Home  Missions  when  our  country  is  at  once  a  promised  land  for  Christ, 
and  the  best  vantage-ground  for  evangelizing  the  world.  And  our  Assembly  is 
met  on  distinctively  home  missionary  ground,  within  the  vast  territory  redeemed 
to  these  United  States  by  the  discernment  and  heroism  of  the  revered  Whitman. 
The  seed  of  Christ's  Church  is  within  this  hospitable  soil  as  the  germinating  blood 
of  Christ's  martyrs.  This  beautiful  Church,  our  munificent  hostess,  is  typical  of 
what  the  Incarnate  will  do  for  all  obedient  followers,  and  of  what  every  favored 
church  may  do  for  those  for  whom  He  died.  Yet,  in  her  prosperity,  this  Church  is 
exceptional  rather  than  representative.  All  around  us  are  either  feeble,  struggling 
missionary  chapels,  or  else  regions  as  large  as  Eastern  States  utterly  destitute  of 
the  salt  of  the  Gospel.  Like  a  child,  a  new  country  must  develop  its  body  before 
its  soul  can  assert  itself.  We  have  come  here,  it  is  to  be  hoped,  not  to  split  hairs 
over  doctrine  and  polity,  but  to  help  waken  the  soul  of  this  young  giant  of  the 
Pacific  Coast.  We  come  to  make  a  spiritual  demonstration,  to  aid  in  protesting 
against  materialism,  unbelief  and  sin,  and  to  offer,  in  the  name  of  the  Prince  of 
Kings,  some  fraternal  fellowship  to  the  courageous  few  who,  like  Columbus,  would 
exalt  the  standard  of  the  cross  among  those  adventurous  spirits  whose  manhood 
needs  nothing  else  so  much  as  enlistment  under  it.  But  we  may  as  well  confess 
candidly  the  fact  that,  like  old  Israel,  we  have  neither  risen  to  our  unparalleled 
opportunities  nor  claimed  for  God  the  whole  of  that  great  heritage  which  He  has 
given  to  us.  Our  resources  and  our  manhood  alike  are  far  beneath  that  degree  of 
consecration  which  Christ  demands  and  America  needs. 

It  is  pathetic,  it  is  heart-breaking,  that  the  Board  of  Home  Missions  at  the 
strategic  center,  the  brave  missionaries  on  the  skirmish  line,  and  all  observant 
Christians,  wherever  they  may  be,  unite  in  one  sustained,  almost  bitter  cry,  for 
more  means  and  more  men  to  furnish  forth  Christ's  invading  army.  We  possess 
both  in  abundance.  The  question  is  whether  we  will  really  devote  our  dollars  and 
our  sons  to  this  holy  war.  Nay,  if  the  leaders  truly  believe  in  what  they  preach, 
there  can  be  no  such  question.  In  proportion  as  we  are  Christians,  we  will  devote 
them  to  it. 

The  nearest  and  easiest  test  is  seen  in  our  venturing  of  money  upon  our  faith. 
We  go  as  we  pay.  Stinginess  toward  Him  is  the  most  potent  way  of  denying 
Christ.  Well,  the  total  receipts  of  the  Board  last  year  amounted  to  $925,950.  But 
the  whole  sum  reported  the  year  before  was  $995,625.  Is  that  decrease  of  $69,675 
a  source  of  pride  ?  Of  our  total,  $925,950,  only  $843,353  were  available  for  the 
current  work  of  the  Board  and  for  the  immediate  necessities  of  a  field  which  is 

foing  forward  with  gigantic  strides.  How,  then,  was  the  debt  reduced  by  over 
31,000?  The  plain  answer  is  found  in  that  terrible  reactionary  word  and  that 
hateful,  absolutely  godless  thing,  "  retrenchment "  For  another  year,  while  the 
country  has  gone  on  rapidly,  we  have  stood  still,  or  retreated,  and  left  the  devil 
free  to  go  on  with  it.     But,  to  estimate  the  net  fidelity  of  churches  to  the  needs  of 


APPENDIX.  151 

the  hour,  we  must  note  specifically  what  church  offerings  have  given  to  the  present 
working  forces  of  the  Board.  The  churches  have  contributed  $497, 98G,  a  J  awning 
decrease  over  the  preceding  year  of  a  clean  $42,600.*  There  is  the  pinching  fact, 
the  churches,  which  should  disdain  to  depend  upon  the  posthumous  gifts  of  testa- 
tors and  the  desultory  bestowments  of  "miscellaneous"  donors,  have  gone  back- 
ward, when  in  nil  conscience  they  were  doing  badly  enough  in  Home  Mission  gifts 
before.  Through  the  churches,  we  pay  an  average  of  about  sixty  cents  a  member 
annually  to  Home  Missions.  With  the  exception  of  seven,  all  the  synods  in  the 
Church  have  given  less  than  last  year.  These  seven  are  the  Indian  Territory, 
Michigan,  Nebraska,  New  Mexico,  Oregon,  South  Dakota  and  Texas,  all  missionary 
synods  but  just  one.  The  whole  Church,  virtually,  has  gone  backward  in  this 
grace  of  giving,  and  forward  in  the  crime  of  self-indulgence.  Is  it  strange  that  so 
little  new  work  could  be  undertaken  p  Is  it  not  rather  strange  that  the  old  work 
could  be  maintained  ?  Is  it  strange  that  missionaries  have  had  to  wait,  on  the 
verge  of  want,  through  cruel  months  for  their  pitiful  allowances,  and  that  the 
members  and  offioera  of  the  Board  have  sometimes  been  at  their  wits'  end  to  know 
how  they  could  piece  out  the  meanness  of  those  who  through  ( "hrist's  poverty  are 
rich  p  Is  it  strange  that  the  Board  has  been  subjected  to  criticism  for  inadequately 
doing  its  work,  when  the  churches  were  so  careless  about  supplying  either  straw  or 
clay  for  the  bricks  with  which  it  must  build  p  The  criticism  is  unfair ;  it  is  stupid  ; 
it  is  false.  It  is  due  not  to  the  Board,  but  to  presbyteries,  to  sessions,  to  ministers, 
to  churches,  to  every  church  member  that  can  in  such  wise  repudiate  the  claims  of 
Jesus  Christ  and  of  those  for  whom  He  died.  Is  it  strange  that  so  many  great 
departments  of  Home  Mission  work  are  languishing? 

Here  is  the  momentuous,  intricate  and  dangerous  problem  of  city  evangelization 
standing  unsolved,  mainly  because  money,  which,  under  Christ,  is  the  real  solvent, 
cannot  be  obtained.  We  offer  all  sorts  of  excuses  for  our  failure,  the  rapidity  of 
urban  growth,  the  huge  mass,  bewildering  variety  and  inferior  quality  of  immi- 
grants, the  spread  of  unbelieving  socialism,  etc  ,  but  the  real  reason  is  the  stingy 
selfishness  and  luxuriousuess  of  professing  Christians. 

I  [ero  is  the  great  question  of  Christianizing  the  white  mountaineers  of  Keuhicky, 
Tennessee,  North  Carolina  and  the  two  Virginias.  There  are  from  2,000,000  to 
4,000,000  of  them.  They  are  ignorant,  superstitious  and  often  degraded,  and  capa- 
ble of  the  noblest  things.  Civilization  has  drifted  by  them  on  either  hand  and  left 
them  almost  untouched  in  their  mountain  fastnesses.  In  their  dull  and  simple  lives 
they  arc  the  facile  prey  of  false  teachers,  like  the  Mormon  agents.  But  they  are 
also  easily  accessible  to  the  preachers  of  the  cross ;  and  they  have  natural  affinities 
for  <>ur  own  Church.  They  are. mainly  of  Scotch  or  Scotch-Irish  Presbyterian 
ancestry.  They  stood  persistently  with  us  during  the  bloody  years  of  civil  war. 
They  have  responded  with  alacrity  to  every  overture  that  we  have  made  to  them, 
they  are  eager  for  Christian  schools  and  colleges,  such  as  our  Board  and  our 
Woman's  Executive  Committee  are  as  eager  to  give  them.  They  will  go  many 
miles  and  attend  literally  all  day  long  to  simple  Gospel  sermons.  There  is  only  the 
one  outrageous  obstacle  in  the  way  of  bringing  them  to  Christ,  and  that  is  the  want 
of  money  and  of  preachers  And  precisely  the  same  thing  is  true  of  the  100,000 
white  inhabitants  of  the  Indian  Territory,  who  are  still  more  debased,  who  are 
almost  as  accessible,  and  who  appear  to  be  neglected  by  the  common  consent  of  all 
churches. 

litre  is  the  despised,  but  most  needy  Mexican  population  of  New  Mexico  and 
Arizona.  They  are  victims  of  the  most  wretched  phase  of  North  American 
Romanism.  Low  moral  quality  is  inherited  in  their  contaminated  blood,  and 
inwrought,  with  the  toxture  of  their  history.  Yet  Christ  cleanses  their  leprosy,  and 
they  arc  crying  after  Him  like  the  lepers  of  old.  There  are,  at  this  hour,  two 
hundred  and  forty-two  more  Mexican  clmrch  members  in  that  extreme  southwestern 
synod  than  there  are  white  church  members.  They  are  furnishing  more  preachers 
in  proportion  than  almost  any  white  synod  in  the  Church.     Already  about  twenty

of  these  Mexican  evangelists  are  working  under  the  care  of  these  new  presbyteries ; 
and  they  are  almost  the  only  preachers  to  the  Spanish- speaking  people  available  by 
our  Board.  These  young  preachers  long  for  a  competent  education  in  order  that 
they  may  learn  to  expound  the  saving  word  effectively.  The  synodical  missionary 
is  here  beseeching  the  Boards  of  Home  Missions  and  of  Education  to  undertake 
this  training  jointly.  But  much  as  they  desire  to  do  so,  they  find  it  difficult.  Why  ? 
Simply  because  the  Church  in  its  ignorance  and  indifference  does  not  furnish  the 
small  change  necessary  for  the  undertaking. 

But  why  multiply  instances  ?  Your  Committee  does  not  undertake  to  present 
any  comprehensive  survey  of  the  wide  field.  The  Board's  admirable  annual  report 
has  done  that  already  ;  will  not  ministers  at  least  read  it  through  ?  It  is  not  so 
much  a  survey  of  the  field  as  a  review  and  equipment  of  our  force  that  we  especially 
require.  What  is  the  use  of  looking  at  the  field  if  we  will  not  enter  it  ?  We  are 
not  to  amuse  ourselves  with  scenery,  but  to  conquer  the  mountains,  fell  the  forests, 
and  reclaim  the  desert  until  it  shall  blossom  as  the  rose.  The  great  work  of  the 
Church  is  to  furnish  tools  and  supplies  for  the  pioneer  evangelists.  A  concurrent 
demand  is  heard  for  men,  whole  men,  live  men,  strong,  trained  and  courageous  men. 
Let  the  vulgar  fractions  of  men  remain  with  the  stronger  churches  in  the  more 
civilized  centers  where  virility  and  devotion  are  less  needed,  and  where  inadequacy 
will  do  less  harm.  Let  the  best  men  go  to  the  hardest  places,  build,  like  Paul,  on 
no  other  man's  foundation,  and  leave  an  apostolic  impress  upon  formative  condi- 
tions. Ministers  and  sessions  have  a  high  duty  at  this  point,  and  Christian  mothers 
have  a  higher  duty  still:  by  the  Spirit  of  Cod  to  persuade  and  enable,  to  form  and 
train  integral  young  men  for  the  highest  and  holiest  and  sweetest  vocation  on  earth — 
the  preaching  of  the  living  Christ  to  dying  men.  But  God  will  provide  the  men, 
when  the  Church  shall  have  provided  the  means. 

The  instant  practical  inquiry,  then,  is,  how  can  we  provide  the  means  ?  The 
answer  seems  as  easy  as  putting  the  empty  hand  into  the  pocket  and  taking  it  out 
again — full.  There  are  other  and  partial  answers  enough  ;  but  they  do  not  fairly 
hit  the  target's  eye.  We  may  say  that  the  older  States  and  cities  should  provide 
for  their  own,  without  taking  out  of  the  Board's  treasury  nearly  as  much  as  they 
put  in,  and  should  organize  and  work  some  such  transformed  scheme  of  sustenta- 
tion  as  may  now  be  found,  more  or  less  partially  organized  and  worked,  in  New 
Jersey,  New  York  and  Pennsylvania,  Illinois,  Indiana  and  Wisconsin.  True.  But 
this  ought  older  regions  to  do,  without  leaving  the  newer  work  of  frontier  regions 
undone.  They  who  would  take  care  exclusively  of  themselves  see  a  heaven  which 
is  the  synonym  of  selfishness,  and  the  antipodes  of  that  missionary  spirit  which 
sent  our  Lord  Himself  first  of  all  out  of  heaven. 

We  may  say  that  the  Board  should  reduce  its  grants  to  all  the  older  communi- 
ties, and  exact  from  them  self-support.  In  many  cases  that  may  be  true.  But 
older  communities,  like  many  in  New  England,  are  coming  into  new  situations 
which  need  the  Board's  cherishing  aid ;  and,  like  districts  through  the  East  and 
Middle  States,  as  far  west  as  Kansas,  our  migratory  American  habits  may  deplete 
strong  churches  and  leave  them  too  weak  for  self-support,  and  yet  too  useful  for 
euthanasia. 

We  may  say  that  the  Board  should  insist  on  "  comity,"  and,  while  so  many 
places  are  utterly  destitute,  resolutely  refuse  to  establish  or  to  sustain  a  Presbyte- 
rian church  where  it  but  wastefully  duplicates  another  evangelical  church,  and 
where  it  must  fight  its  straggle  for  existence  by  preying  on  its  neighbor.  Your 
Committee  hold  that  opinion.  But  it  must  be  remembered  that  "  comity "  is  a 
imitual  relation  which  either  party  may  destroy,  and  that  Presbyterians  have  some 
times  a  very  persistent  if  not  saintly  perseverance  in  demanding  a  Presbyterian 
church  for  themselves. 

We  may  say  that,  imitating  certain  other  denominations,  and  exalting  the 
Episcopal  function  of  the  ministry,  the  Board  ought  to  provide,  as  in  the  Synod  of 
Minnesota,  a  larger  number  of  pastors-at-large  or  evangelists  or  unattached 
preachers,  who,  under  the  guidance  of  the  home  missionary  committees  of  presby- 
teries and  synods,  would  be  able  to  go  about  with  roving  commissions  among  vacant 
and  discouraged  churches,  and  serve  them  until  they  could  secure  pastors  and 
recover  confidence,  or  at  least  secure  them  against  sheep-stealing  wolves.     That 


APPENDIX.  153 

would  seem  wise  and  promising.  But  here  again  the  lack  of  money  is  at  this  hour 
so  decisive  an  objection  that  none  other  need  be  named. 

We  may  say  that  applications  for  aid  should  be  candid  and  accurate  ;  that  they 
should  never  be  influenced  by  rivalry  or  selfishness,  and  that  they  should  call  for 
the  very  least  sum  that  will  suffice.  All  that  is  very  true,  and  it  is  all  carefully — 
there  are  missionaries  who  may  have  thought  that  it  has  sometimes  been  even  too 
carefully — guarded  by  the  Board.  But  who  dare  indict  the  army  of  applicants  ? 
Missionaries  and  churches  may  fairly  make  a  general  claim  at  least  to  honesty. 
Few  applications,  your  Committee  believe,  are  excessive  or  extravagant.  On  the 
contrary,  they  are  usually  below  the  full  requirements  of  the  fields. 

The  real  difficulty  is  in  none  of  these  things.  It  is  to  be  sought  in  the  home 
missionary  ignorance  of  the  average  contributor,  much  more  of  the  average  non- 
contributor.  It  is  to  be  removed  by  the  intelligent  preaching  of  the  average  pastor, 
and  by  the  agitation  and  canvassing  of  home  missionary  needs  by  average  sessions. 
The  chief  responsibility  for  success  or  failure  rests  immediately  upon  the  shoulders 
of  us  pastors  and  elders.  If  we  do  our  full  duty,  there  is  little  danger  of  the 
Church's  lagging  behind  in  its  gifts. 

We  might  learn  a  useful  lesson  from  the  consecrated  women  of  our  congrega- 
tions. They  who  were  last  at  the  cross  and  earliest  at  the  grave  are  still  nearest 
to  Christ  in  their  devotion.  They  are  diffusing  intelligence  of  missions  among 
themselves  and  their  children,  line  upon  line,  precept  upon  precept.  It  is  a  comfort 
to  recognise  their  fidelity,  their  ardor  and  their  zeal.  The  Woman's  Executive 
Committee  continues  to  do  noble  things.  Twenty  years  ago  they  were  almost 
totally  unconscious  of  their  own  powers  either  as  missionary  teachers  in  the  wide 
field  or  as  organizers  of  missionary  societies  in  the  churches.  But  now  they  are 
performing  such  feats  that  it  is  becoming  a  question  whether  we  do  not  need  male 
missionary  organizations  to  make  men  also  conscious  of  their  hidden  powers.  These 
women  are  always  studying  missionary  problems.  They  are  just  now  about  con- 
ferring with  the  Board  to  ascertain  whether  or  not  they  may  be  using  too  large  a 
proportion  of  the  money  derived  from  the  friends  of  missions  in  exclusive  school- 
work  among  the  Mormons,  Mexicans,  Indians  and  "  mountain  whites."  Certainly, 
there  is  need  of  far  larger  sums  for  this  beneficent  work.  But,  in  view  of  the  fact 
that,  leaving  out  the  white  mountaineers,  among  whom  about  one-sixth  of  the 
schools  are  found,  there  can  hardly  be  more  than  600,000  in  these  "  exceptional 
populations,"  it  would  seem  to  be  a  fair  question  whether  an  approximate  $300,000, 
devoted  in  all  these  schools,  be  not  disproportionately  large,  when  the  Board  has 
only  about  $500,000  for  the  general  work  of  evangelization  in  mission  churches  ? 
But  they  will  settle  this  question  as  wisely  and  thoughtfully  as  they  have  settled 
others.     Meantime,  we  can  have  nothing  but  praise  and  honor  for  them. 

If  we,  like  them,  are  disciples  of  the  Great  Physician,  difficulties  will  turn  into 
opportunities  and  incentives,  and  we  shall  acquire  knowledge  of  the  capital  fact 
that,  while  the  risen  Redeemer  offers  Himself  freely  to  lost  souls,  there  can  be  no 
insuperable  difficulty  so  long  as  we  are  intelligent,  devoted  and  generous  in  sup- 
plying the  means  for  the  blessed  work  of  Home  Missions. 

Some  years  ago  a  gifted  English  editor  wrote  a  resplendent  poem,  flashing  with 
all  the  gems  known  to  a  sensuous  genius,  and  bedecked  with  many  adornments 
which  wero  stolen  outright  from  Christianity.  Its  fascinating  lines  describe  the 
origin  and  career,  the  doctrines  and  destiny  of  Gautama,  the  Saviour-prince  of 
Buddhism.  An  oriental  king  thanked  the  author  for  thus  setting  forth  before  the 
world,  in  magnificent  array,  the  boasted  "  Light  of  Asia."  But  ah  !  the  actual, 
moral  and  spiritual  condition  of  millions  of  devotees  sadly  attested  the  old  truth 
that  if  the  light  that  is  in  thee  be  darkness,  how  great  is  that  darkness. 

But  nineteen  hundred  years  ago,  the  royal  prince  who  became  the  peasant  car- 
penter said,  in  words  whoso  majestic  simplicity  no  human  genius  has  ever  been 
able  to  embellish,  and  whose  literal  truth  all  Christian  experience  has  proved  :  "  I 
am  the  light  of  the  word ;  he  that  followeth  me  shall  not  walk  in  darkness  but 
shall  have  the  light  of  life."  These  words  are  not  yet  realized  by  all  our  fellow- 
men,  nor  even  by  all  our  fellow-citizens  ;  but  it  remains  in  no  small  degree  for  us 
American  Christians  by  the  beauty  of  holiness  in  our  personal  lives  and  by  the 
poetry  of  devotion  in  our  home  and  foreign  missionary  enterprise  to  disclose  the

supreme  Saviour-prince  first  as  the  light  of  our  own  dear  country  and  thence,  literally, 
as  the  light  of  the  world. 

In  order  to  emphasize,  and,  if  possible,  to  realize  certain  salient  points  in  the 
foregoing  statement,  your  Committee  would  make  the  following  recommendations 
for  adoption  by  this  Assembly : 

First. — That  the  Assembly  expresses  its  grateful  appreciation  of  the  onerous, 
wise  and  faithful  labors  of  the  Board  and  its  executive  officers,  and  earnestly  com- 
mends their  administration  of  its  affairs  to  the  scrutiny  and  hearty  confidence  and 
support  of  the  entire  Church. 

Second. — That  the  Assembly  thankfully  acknowledges  the  continued  fidelity  and 
increasing  usefulness  of  the  Woman's  Executive  Committee,  and  urges  all  pastors 
and  sessions  to  foster  this  work  among  the  ladies  and  children  of  their  churches. 

Third. — That  the  various  devoted  and  self-sacrificing  services  of  the  home  mis- 
sionaries deserve  the  constant  remembrance  and  cordial  recognition  of  the  Assembly, 
the  Board  and  the  membership  of  the  Church  at  large. 

Fourth. — That  the  minutes  of  the  Board,  having  been  examined  by  the  Standing 
Committee,  and  found  to  be  a  careful  record  of  the  large,  faithful  and  often  unap- 
preciated work,  be  approved  as  far  as  written. 

Fifth. — That,  in  accordance  with  the  recommendation  of  the  last  three  Assem- 
blies, all  Sabbath-schools  be  urged  to  make  an  annual  contribution  to  the  school 
work  under  the  care  of  the  Woman's  Executive  Committee,  and  that,  so  far  as  con- 
venient, their  offerings  for  this  purpose  be  received  on  the  Sabbath  before  Thanks- 
giving. 

Sixth. — That  all  our  Sabbath-schools,  Societies  of  Christian  Endeavor  and  other 
Young  People's  Organizations,  be  requested  to  make  a  special  annual  contribution 
to  the  general  work  of  the  Board  on  the  Sabbath  nearest  Washington's  birthday. 

Seventh. — That  all  churches  be  invited  to  make  a  special  Columbian  thank-offer- 
ing to  the  Board  on  October  9,  1892,  as  a  memorial  of  the  discovery  of  the  American 
continent. 

Eighth. — That  all  the  pastors  be  enjoined  to  study  the  excellent  annual  report 
of  the  Board,  and  to  make  their  churches  acquainted  with  its  leading  facts. 

Ninth. — That  in  view  of  the  painful  arrest  of  new  and  aggressive  work,  due  to 
the  inadequate  income  of  the  Board,  to  the  continued  existence  of  debt  and  to  the 
actual  decrease  of  aggregate  gifts  by  the  churches,  all  the  churches,  ladies'  societies 
and  miscellaneous  contributors  be  urged  to  make  honest,  prayerful  and  persistent 
efforts  to  add  fifteen  per  cent,  to  their  gifts  during  the  current  year. 

Tenth. — That  pastors  and  sessions  be  enjoined  to  have  a  personal  canvass  of  their 
congregations  made  in  addition  to  having  the  subject  presented  from  their  pulpits, 
in  order  that  the  people  may  be  better  instructed  in  our  Home  Mission  work,  and 
that  sufficient  means  may  be  provided  for  its  maintenance  and  enlargement. 

Eleventh. — That,  inasmuch  as  many  thousands  of  our  countrymen  are  still 
wholly  without  church  privileges,  the  Board  be  instructed,  in  the  best  exercise  of 
its  own  judgment  to  refrain,  as  far  as  possible,  from  intrenching  upon  fields  already 
supplied  with  evangelical  churches. 

Twelfth. — That  the  Board  be  earnestly  requested  to  consider  whether  more  of 
its  means  and  energies  should  not  be  devoted  to  reclaiming  the  lost  multitudes  of 
our  large  cities. 

Thirteenth. — That  the  Board  and  the  Woman's  Executive  Committee  be  re- 
quested to  further  confer  as  to  whether  the  time  has  come  when  a  larger  proportion 
of  their  total  funds  should  be  used  in  organizing  and  maintaining  churches,  and  a 
smaller  proportion  in  the  support  of  schools  among  our  "  exceptional  populations." 

Fourteenth. — That  the  Board  be  requested  to  confer  with  the  Board  of  Education, 
in  order  to  ascertain  whether  more  adequate  educational  training  cannot  be  pro- 
vided within  their  own  field  for  the  Mexican  evangelists  of  the  Synod  of  New 
Mexico. 


APPENDIX.  155 

Fifteenth. — That  the  Board  be  requested  to  consider  whether  a  large  number  of 
evangelists,  pastors-at-large  or  unattached  ministers  of  the  right  stamp,  and  under 
the  supervision  of  Presbyterial  or  Synodical  ( 'ommittees  of  Home  Missions,  could 
not  be  profitable  ;  provided,  that  as  the  Board,  acting  in  accordance  with  the  per- 
mission of  the  Assembly  of  1889,  and  with  the  injunction  of  the  Assembly  of  1891, 
has  secured  the  necessary  change  in  its  charter  for  a  legal  increase  in  its  member- 
ship, the  gentlemen  whose  names  follow  be  appointed  as  additional  members  of  the 
Board;  Rev.  J.  S.  Ramsey,  D.D.,  and  Robert  Henderson,  Layman,  for  three  years; 
Rev.  John  W.  Teal,  D.D.,  and  George  H.  Southard,  Layman,  for  two  years ;  Rev. 
George  L.  Spinning.  D.D.,  and  H.  E.  Rowland,  Layman,  for  one  year. 

Sixteenth. — That  the  following  members  of  the  Board,  whose  terms  of  service 
expire  with  this  Assembly,  be  reappointed:  Ministers — Thomas  S.  Hastings,  D.D., 
and  Charles  L.  Thompson,  D.D. ;  Laymen — John  Crosby  Brown  and  W.  M.  Aikman ; 
and  that  E.  H.  Brinkerhoff  be  appointed  in  place  of  J.  D.  Vermilye,  deceased. 

Respectfully  submitted  for  the  Committee. 

S.  J.  McPHERSON,  Chairman. 


ANNUAL  REPORT  OF  THE  WOMAN'S  EXECUTIVE 
COMMITTEE. 


To  the  Hoard  of  Home  Missions  : 

Gentlemen  : 

The  Woman's  Executive  Committee  of  Home  Missions  presents  herewith 
the  thirteenth  Annual  Report.  So  even  has  been  the  course  of  events  during  the  past 
twelve  months  that  we  are  constrained  to  believe  the  omnipotent  power  of  God  has  gra- 
ciously kept  us  from  painful  trials  or  untoward  discouragements,  and  we  would  gratefully 
recognize  this  evidence  of  Divine  favor.  A  work  which  represents  such  vast  and  varied 
interests,  involving  issues  of  great  importance,  calls  for  the  most  careful  management,  and 
the  wisest  adjustment  of  manifold  details.  Here,  again,  we  would  record  our  profound 
thankfulness  that  we  have  not  been  limited  by  our  own  range  of  vision,  or  made  depen- 
dent on  human  wisdom,  but  that  the  good  hand  of  our  God  has  been  upon  us,  and  to  Him 
do  we  ascribe  all  the  honor  which  the  prosperity  of  the  year  has  wrought. 

A  backward  glance  reveals  encouraging  progress  in  the  various  departments  of  work. 
Perhaps  the  most  visible  token  of  this  is  shown  in  the  receipts  which  exceed  by  $25,000 
those  of  the  preceding  year,  reaching  a  total  of  $364,179.19.  Figures  may  be  briefly 
stated,  but,  for  their  intelligent  comprehension,  a  closer  look  at  the  facts  which  they  con- 
tain may  not  be  amiss. 

Apprehending  the  harm  which  might  easily  result  from  too  generous  aid,  we  have 
steadily  striven  to  develop  self-reliance  among  the  classes  where  our  missions  are  stationed. 
To  this  end  we  have  directed  our  teachers  to  secure,  when  possible,  some  return,  accord- 
ing to  the  ability  of  the  parents,  for  the  privileges  of  instruction  which  our  schools  afford. 
During  the  past  year  there  has  thus  been  obtained  from  tuition  $9,749.  We  have  also 
received  supplementary  aid  from  the  Government,  from  Indian  Nations  and  from  distinctly 
miscellaneous  sources,  making  a  total  sum  of  over  $100,000,  which  would  not  have  been 
in  any  wise  available  for  mission  work  had  it  not  been  for  this  educational  department  of 
the  Board  of  Home  Missions. 

There  has  also  been  received  during  the  year  $22,745  in  legacies.  The  Woman's 
Kxecutive  Committee  have  been  earnestly  desirous  to  secure  the  advantages  accruing  from 
invested  or  permanent  funds,  which  should  serve  as  collaterals,  lessening  the  embarrass- 
ment and  distress  resulting,  at  times,  from  an  utterly  exhausted  treasury.  Accordingly 
this  amount  has  been  thus  invested,  and  will  afford  very  material  relief  during  the  sum- 
mer months  when  receipts  are  small.  It  is  desired  to  increase  these  permanent  funds  to 
at  least  $60,000. 

From  the  items  thus  enumerated  it  will  be  observed  that  $122,4(50  has  come  from 
miscellaneous  sources,  which,  when  deducted  from  the  total  amount  leaves  about  two- 


156  APPENDIX. 

thirds  of  the  receipts  as  coining  from  regular  contributors.  Of  this  sum  $45,052.20  has 
been  designated  for  work  among  the  Freedmen,  and  has  been  forwarded  for  disbursement 
to  the  Treasurer  of  the  Freedmen's  Board  at  Pittsburgh. 

It  will  thus  be  seen  that  there  is  still  a  large  work  to  do  in  arousing  and  enlisting  the 
women  of  the  Church  in  the  support  of  this  educational  work  of  the  Board  of  Home 
Missions,  which  depends  upon  funds  raised  by  the  Woman's  Executive  Committee  for  its 
maintenance. 

In  this  enumeration  of  details,  attention  is  called  to  the  fact  that  725  Sunday-schools 
have  contributed  $18,500,  an  increase  of  $2,500  over  the  offerings  of  the  preceding  year. 
Young  People's  Societies  of  Christian  Endeavor  have  also  been  among  the  welcomed  con- 
tributors. It  seems  peculiarly  fitting,  since  the  future  destiny  of  our  nation  is  in  the 
hands  of  the  rising  generation,  that  the  young  in  our  churches  should  be  enlisted  in  the 
elevation  of  less  fortunate  and  needy  youth  in  our  land,  and  we  shall  look  to  this  source 
in  the  future  for  yet  more  abundant  aid. 

Encouragement  is  also  derived  from  the  increased  sales  of  our  publications.  Over 
156,383  leaflets  have  been  sent  out  in  response  to  orders,  in  payment  for  which  we  have 
received  $1,358.  Our  leaflets  have  gone  to  all  parts  of  the  United  States,  aud  to  Canada, 
Scotland,  Ireland  and  Turkey;  19,674  mite  boxes  and  125,790  envelopes  have  also  been 
distributed,  and  have  aided  in  increasing  systematic  contributions. 

The  list  of  subscribers  to  the  Home  Mission  Monthly  is  steadily  increasing.  It  may 
be  well  to  call  attention  again  to  the  gratifying  fact  that  this  magazine  has  never  been 
obliged  to  draw  on  funds  outside  of  those  received  from  subscriptions.  It  has  been  from 
the  first,  and  continues  to  be,  wholly  self-supporting. 

Turning  now  from  this  brief  review  of  the  receipts  of  the  year  to  a  glance  at  the  work 
itself,  we  are  not  without  further  encouragement. 

Each  year  brings  fresh  demonstration  of  the  very  practical  and  satisfactory  nature  of 
our  form  of  organization.  Beginning  with  the  local  church  auxiliaries  which  are  grouped 
together  into  Presbyterial  Societies,  from  which,  in  turn,  are  formed  the  various  Synodical 
organizations,  we  come  to  the  Woman's  Executive  Committee,  chosen  by  Synodical  repre- 
sentatives to  have  the  care  and  management  of  the  work,  in  connection  with  and  under 
the  directing  power  of  the  Board  of  Home  Missions.  In  view  of  the  increasing  efficiency, 
unity  and  strength,  developed  by  this  plan,  whereby  our  organization  is  thus  incorporated 
into  the  ecclesiastical  life  of  the  Church,  it  would  seem  as  if  the  wise  foresight  of  those 
who  shaped  the  work  at  the  beginning  should  be  again  recognized,  and  grateful  acknow- 
ledgment made  for  the  Divine  guidance  vouchsafed  them. 

To  the  loyal  and  zealous  efforts  of  co-laborers  throughout  the  various  auxiliary  societies 
we  ascribe  much  of  the  manifest  prosperity.  Nor  has  the  work  been  done  by  women  of 
leisure.  Busy  mothers  in  remote  and  isolated  homes  and  small  country  churches,  as  well 
as  those  upon  whom  the  duties  of  life  press  with  that  insistent  power  incident  to  the 
manifold  work  in  the  larger  churches  of  crowded  cities,  have  cheerfully  and  persistently 
aided  by  prayer,  by  pen  and  by  purse.  As  a  result  of  this  kindly  co-operation,  twenty  of 
the  twenty-eight  Synodical  Societies  have  made  an  advance  in  their  contributions.  Even 
though  the  advance  in  some  cases  has  been  small,  it  is  yet  a  hopeful  token  of  the  future. 
Notable  increase  has  been  made  in  a  number  of  the  Synods,  Pennsylvania  making  an 
advance  of  $1,000;  Indiana,  $1,600;  New  Jersey,  $2,000;  Illinois,  $4,500;  and  New 
York,  $5,500  ;  while  the  Synods  of  Oregon,  Pacific,  Michigan  and  Missouri,  have  each 
made  vigorous  forward  strides. 

It  was  recommended  that  a  twenty  per  cent,  advance  be  made  in  each  of  the  Synods, 
in  order  not  only  to  meet  existing  obligations,  but  with  a  view  to  the  relinquishment  of 
the  aid  received  from  the  Government  in  the  case  of  some  of  our  Indian  schools.  As  this 
has  not  been  realized,  the  matter  must  be  held,  for  the  present,  somewhat  in  abeyance. 

Some  idea  may  be  gained  of  the  amount  of  labor  entailed,  and  the  varied  interests 
involved  in  the  official  management  of  the  work,  by  the  statement  that,  during  the  year, 
14,600  letters  have  been  received,  each  of  which  has  had  careful  attention.  Besides  this 
large  correspondence,  the  formulated  plans  for  work,  and  the  oversight  of  the  field  have 
demanded  the  most  careful  thought  and  action. 

In  pursuance  of  our  plan  to  place  our  income  on  as  secure  a  basis  as  possible,  we  have 
obtained  from  societies  and  individuals  the  pledged  support  of  152  teachers  and  781 
scholarships,  amounting  altogether  to  $106,365,  which  sum  we  may  depend  on  with 
reasonable  certainty. 


APPENDIX.  157 

Lest  our  receipts  should  lessen  the  amount  which  would  otherwise  be  given  directly  to 
the  Board  of  Home  Missions,  we  hare  steadily  striven  to  develop  new  resources  and  to 
enlist  those  hitherto  indifferent  to  Home  Mission  work.  We  would  make  note  of  the  fact 
that  we  have,  as  heretofore,  received  funds  for  the  direct  work  of  the  Board  in  sustaining 
weak  churches.  These  amounts  have  been  credited  to  the  donors  on  our  books,  and  have 
then  been  paid  to  the  Treasurer  of  the  Board  to  be  used  for  the  purpose  intended.  The 
Woman's  Executive  Committee  stands  ready  to  encourage  such  gifts  from  auxiliaries  if 
made  through  our  treasury.  Value,  to  many  thousands  of  dollars,  has  been  furnished  by 
our  auxiliary  societies,  thus  adding  comfort  and  cheer  to  many  a  household. 

The  planting  of  a  Presbyterian  Mission  School  means,  sooner  or  later,  the  establish- 
ment of  a  Christian  Church  which  calls  for  the  fostering  care  of  a  minister  or  evangelist. 
Already  the  work  of  aiding  the  Board  of  Home  Missious  in  the  support  of  these  mission- 
aries has  been  begun,  especially  in  the  case  of  Mexican  evangelists,  and  we  now  reiterate 
a  willingness  to  increase  this  assistance  as  may  be  deemed  expedient  by  the  Board. 

One  other  point  remains  to  be  emphasized  in  this  connection.  Upon  the  Woman's 
Executive  Committee  has  devolved  the  task  of  providing  funds,  not  only  for  the  support 
of  mission  schools  and  teachers,  but  also  for  structural  work,  which,  unlike  any  other 
portion  of  the  Board's  operations,  the  educational  department  eutails.  To  provide  the 
requisite  buildings  for  an  Industrial  School  of  150  pupils,  involves,  even  on  the  most 
economical  basis,  no  inconsiderable  outlay,  and  a  moment's  reflection  will  make  it  apparent 
that  the  buildings  and  grounds  of  our  various  boarding  and  day  schools  absorb  inevitably 
a  goodly  amount.  While  this  has  been  a  heavy  task,  yet  as  these  various  properties  are 
vested  in  the  Board,  and  arc  not  without  the  promise  of  increased  value,  the  expenditure 
commends  itself  on  the  ground  of  present  necessity  and  ultimate  benefits. 

Turning  now  to  the  mission  field  proper,  we  note  a  few  leading  features. 

Results  are  not  always  easily  estimated  or  made  speedily  apparent  in  a  work  which 
deals  largely  with  youth  whose  ancestry  is  one  of  ignorance,  degradation  or  heathenism. 
To  overcome  this  unfortunate  inheritance  no  power  is  more  potent  than  Christian  training 
and  education.  Were  proof  wanting  of  the  fidelity  and  piety  with  which  our  mission 
teachers  are  performing  this  work,  abundant  evidence  exists  in  the  changed  lives  of  the 
pupils  under  their  care,  and  in  the  moral  and  intellectual  advancement  among  the  classes 
where  they  labor.  During  the  past  few  months  gracious  evidences  have  not  been  wanting 
of  the  converting  and  transforming  power  of  the  Gospel. 

The  Superintendent  of  one  of  our  largest  Indian  Schools  writes,  "  The  trend  towards 
religious  life  is  becoming  more  decided  among  our  pupils,  and  the  purpose  for  which  they 
are  in  school  is  more  clearly  defined  in  their  own  minds."  An  Indian  youth  in  this  school, 
in  preferring  the  request  to  receive  special  instruction  in  the  Bible  two  or  three  evenings 
in  the  week,  explained,  "  1  don't  think  God  want  me  to  learn  something  about  the  Bible 
just  for  myself.  I  think  He  want  me  to  try  hard  to  learn  something  good  for  my  people." 
This  permeating  influence  of  the  Gospel  in  the  homes  of  our  pupils  is  one  of  the  most 
hopeful  features  of  our  work. 

Our  schools  and  teachers  are  distributed  as  follows :

Our  auxiliary  societies  have  also  contributed  towards  the  support  of  twenty-five  schools 
and  thirty-four  teachers  among  the  Freedmen,  thus  increasing  the  total  number  of  teachers 
to  394. 

During  the  past  mouths  one  of  our  honored  Vice-Presidents,  Mrs.  B.  F.  Potter,  of  New 
York,  whose  name  has  long  been  connected  with  our  organization,  has  been  translated  to 
higher  service.  Death,  however,  has  made  no  vacancy  in  the  ranks  of  our  teachers,  but 
an  unusual  degree  of  health  has  prevailed  at  most  of  our  mission  stations. 

♦This  number  includes  all  teachers,  matrons  or  assistants  who  have  been  commissioned 
for  the  whole  or  any  part  of  the  year. 


158  APPENDIX. 

As  we  turn  to  the  work  of  the  opening  year,  we  find  that  we  must  at  once  accustom 
our  eyes  to  broader  vision  and  wider  outlook.  Strong  appeals  come  for  the  establishment 
of  Christian  schools,  especially  in  the  mountains  of  the  South.  The  harvest  of  our  first 
seed-sowing  has  been  so  gracious  and  so  bounteous,  that  much  fallow  ground  is  now  ready 
for  cultivation.  Everywhere  throughout  the  mountains  of  North  Carolina,  Kentucky  and 
Tennessee,  earnest  calls  come  to  reclaim  this  long  neglected  portion  of  our  land,  which  is 
now  rich  in  promise  of  abundant  fruitage.  Elsewhere  the  need  is  also  great.  From  the 
stalwart  and  hitherto  fierce  tribes  of  Apaches,  Comanches  and  Navahoes,  as  well  as  from 
Utes  and  other  wild  Indians,  the  appeal  for  aid  which  shall  enable  them  to  cast  08'  bar- 
barism and  to  rise  to  a  higher  plane  of  life  and  thought,  comes  with  well  nigh  irresistible 
force.  The  opportunity  is  ours  to  provide  the  means  for  transforming  savages  into  Chris- 
tian citizens.  Nor  can  we  delay  this  task,  depending  on  time  to  work  the  necessary 
change.     "  It  is  only  the  forces  brought  to  bear  in  time  which  works  changes." 

Meanwhile  we  are  not  unmindful  of  the  direct  work  of  the  Board  of  Home  Missions ; 
towns  and  cities  are  springing  up  on  the  frontier  with  unparalleled  rapidity,  calling  for 
the  establishment  of  new  churches ;  great  numbers  of  immigrants  are  also  swarming  to 
our  shores,  and  if,  as  in  the  vision  of  Ezekiel,  our  nation  is  to  be  a  tree  "  in  the  shadow 
of  whose  branches  "  "  shall  dwell  every  fowl  of  every  wing,"  we  would  not  withhold  our 
help,  if  it  be  needed,  in  planting  this  goodly  cedar  in  the  "top  of  the  mountain  of  the 
Lord."  Presbyterian  women  have  never  yet  held  back  when  the  voice  of  God  and  the 
Church  called  them  to  go  forward. 

Gathering  courage  for  the  untried  duties  of  the  future  from  the  conviction  that  one 
task  completed  prepares  for  the  accomplishment  of  a  greater,  and  humbly  recognizing  the 
Hand  which  has  thus  far  led  us  steadily  onward,  we  turn  to  the  coming  year  with  hope 
and  faith. 

Respectfully  submitted. 

Mrs.  D.  E.  FINKS, 

Secretary.

ACTION    OF    THE    GENERAL    ASSEMBLY 

At  Portland,  Ore.,  May  25,   1892. 


The  Fifty-fifth  Annual  Report  of  the  Board  of  Foreign 
Missions,  and  the  manuscript  volume  of  its  Minutes  for  the 
year  ending  April  30,  1892,  were  presented  to  the  General 
Assembly  in  session  at  Portland,  Ore.,  May,  1892,  and  were  re- 
ferred to  the  Standing  Committee  on  Foreign  Missions.  The 
Committee  consisted  of — Ministers  :  Alexander  Alison,  D.D., 
Henry  C.  Minton,  D.D.,  William  M.  Taylor,  D.D.,  Thomas  D. 
Wallace,  D.D.,  Alfred  H.  Moment,  D.D.,  Paul  D.  Bergen,

Semple,  John  C.  Knowlton,  Levi  W.  Ballard,  James  S.  Thomas, 
and  John  Shirley  Ward. 

On  Wednesday,  May  25th,  this  Committee  reported  to  the 
Assembly,  and,  on  its  recommendation,  the  following  action 
was  taken  : 

First — That  the  Minutes  of  the  Board  be  approved. 

Second — That  the  following  members  of  the  Board,  whose  term  of  office 
has  expired,  be  re-elected,  to  wit  :  Ministers:  Rev.  W.  M.  Paxton,  D.D., 
Rev.  J.  D.  Wells,  D.D.,  Rev.  J.  Balcom  Shaw,  Rev.  David  Gregg,  D.D.; 
laymen,  Messrs.  E.  M.  Kingsley  and  Alexander  Maitland. 

Third — That  a  special  offering,  to  be  known  as  the  "  Columbian  Offering," 
be  taken  in  all  our  Sabbath-schools  and  young  people's  societies  for  Foreign 
Mission  work  on  this  Western  Hemisphere,  on  Sabbath,  the  9th  of  October. 

Fourth — That  we  emphasize  the  work  of  our  young  people  and  encourage 
them  in  their  endeavors  to  Christianize  the  world. 

Fifth — That  we  heartily  commend  the  splendid  work  which  has  been  ac- 
complished by  our  Women's  Boards,  especially  commending  them  for  the 
spirit  of  prayer  and  intelligent  study  of  the  work  which  have  so  steadily  ac- 
companied their  labors  of  love. 

Sixth — That  our  pastors  and  Sessions  increase  their  diligence  in  regard  to 
this  work. 

Seventh — That  the  Standing  Committees  on  Foreign  Missions  in  Synods  and 


4  ACTION   OF   THE   GENERAL  ASSEMBLY. 

Presbyteries  be  urged  to  co-operate  with  the  Assembly's  Board  of  Foreign 
Missions  in  efforts  to  secure  the  necessary  funds  for  the  carrying  on  of  this 
important  work. 

Eighth — That,  God  helping  us,  we  shall  this  year  reach,  without  fail,  the 
mark  set  by  the  last  Assembly,  to  wit  :  $1,100,000. 

Ninth — That  this  General  Assembly  earnestly  commend  to  the  churches' 
special  attention  the  Chinese  Christian  work  in  every  place  where  the  China- 
man is  to  be  found. 

On  recommendation  of  the  Standing  Committee  the  follow- 
ing was  also  unanimously  adopted  : 

The  General  Assembly  has  learned  with  pleasure  that  during  the  past  year 
conference  and  correspondence  have  been  had  by  the  Board  of  Foreign  Mis- 
sions with  the  Committee  on  Foreign  Missions  of  the  Presbyterian  Church  in 
the  United  States,  touching  co-operation  in  Foreign  Mission  fields.  On  the 
invitation  of  the  Executive  Council  of  our  Board,  the  Rev.  M.  H.  Houston, 
D.D.,  Secretary  of  the  Committee  on  Foreign  Missions,  visited  New  York 
last  March  for  a  conference  on  this  subject.  Subsequently,  under  date  of 
April  12,  1892,  Dr.  Houston  forwarded  to  our  Board  a  minute  from  the  Com- 
mittee on  Foreign  Missions  suggesting  that  the  General  Assemblies  of  the  two 
churches  be  requested  to  authorize  farther  conference  on  the  subject,  with  a 
view  to  framing  some  recommendations  to  be  submitted  to  the  respective  As- 
semblies. 

In  response  to  this  minute,  our  Board  took  the  following  action  :  "  The 
Board  of  Foreign  Missions  acknowledges  with  devout  gratitude  to  God  the 
receipt  of  the  above  minute  from  the  Committee  on  Foreign  Missions  of  the 
Presbyterian  Church  in  the  United  States  and  welcomes  it  as  an  important 
step  in  the  direction  of  practical  co-operation  in  the  foreign  field.  The  Board 
cordially  acquiesces  in  the  suggestion  of  the  Committee  that  steps  should  be 
taken  without  delay  to  bring  about  this  much-desired  result.  It  is  therefore 
ordered  that  the  General  Assembly  be  requested  to  authorize  the  Board  to  confer 
with  the  Committee  of  the  Southern  General  Assembly  on  the  whole  question 
of  practical  co-operation  on  the  foreign  field,  it  being  understood  that  the 
Board  shall  have  no  power  in  the  premises  except  to  consult  and  to  frame 
recommendations,  which  shall  be  submitted  to  the  General  Assembly." 

The  General  Assembly  most  cordially  approves  this  action  of  the  Board  and 
hereby  authorizes  it  to  confer  with  the  Committee  on  Foreign  Missions  of  the 
Presbyterian  Church  in  the  United  States  on  the  subject  named  and  to  submit 
a  report  of  the  conference,  together  with  any  recommendation  which  may  be 
agreed  upon,  to  the  next  General  Assembly. 


INTRODUCTION 

TO 

FIFTY-FIFTH  ANNUAL  REPORT 

OF   THE 

BOARD  OF  FOREIGN  MISSIONS. 


In  presenting  to  the  General  Assembly  its  Fifty-fifth  Annual 
Report  the  Board  would  recognize  with  gratitude  to  God  not 
only  the  tokens  of  His  favor  during  the  last  year,  but  also  the 
stability  with  which  so  great  and  extended  a  work  has  been 
providentially  maintained  for  more  than  half  a  century.  As  an 
enterprise  which  depends  not  upon  vested  funds,  but  upon 
seemingly  fortuitous  gifts  from  year  to  year,  and  which  is  af- 
fected by  all  the  vicissitudes  to  which  the  Church  and  the  coun- 
try are  subject,  its  dependence  upon  Divine  power  and  direc- 
tion are  most  manifest.  It  is  impossible  to  review  this  protracted 
history,  or  even  the  work  of  a  single  year,  without  recognizing 
a  fulfillment  of  Christ's  promise  to  be  with  His  Church  in  its 
great  commission,  always,  even  unto  the  end  of  the  world." 

But  the  Board  has  been  reminded  during  the  year  that,  al- 
though this  great  cause  advances  forever,  the  laborers  hold  their 
places  in  its  service  by  a  transient  tenure.  One  veteran  member 
of  the  Board,  Rev.  Charles  K.  Imbrie,  D.D.,  after  a  long  and 
faithful  service,  has  been  called  to  his  reward  during  the  year. 

Dr.  Imbrie  had  been  a  member  of  the  Board  for  thirty-five 
years,  having  been  elected  in  1856.  He  became  a  member  of 
the  Executive  Committee  in  1865.  His  protracted  service  was 
characterized  by  great  regularity  and  promptness  of  attend- 
ance, by  rare  fidelity  in  the  discharge  of  all  duties  laid  upon 
him,  and  by  a  genial  and  devoted  spirit. 

On  the  mission  fields,  two  veterans — Rev.  John  Newton,  D.D., 
of  the  Lodiana  Mission,  and  Rev.  Augustus  W.  Loomis,  D.D., 
of  the  Chinese  Mission  in  California — have  rested  from  their 
labors,  and  their  works  do  follow  them.  Both  were  men  of 
rare  and  long-tried  fidelity  and  worth.  Several  younger  mis- 
sionaries, also,  namely:  Rev.  Wellington  J.  White,  of  the  Can- 
ton Mission;  Miss  Sarah  C.  Seward,  M.D.,  of  the  Farrukhabad 
Mission:  Miss  J.  M.  Small,  of  the  Siam  Mission;  Mrs.  A.  V. 
Bryan,  of  the  AVest  Japan  Mission;  Mrs.  W.  A.  Briggs,  of  the 
Laos  Mission;  Rev.  E.  M.  Pinkerton  and  Mrs.  W.  A.  Carring- 
ton,  of  the  Brazil  Mission;  and  Miss  M.  L.  Ewalt,  of  the  Kol- 
htapur  Mission,  have  died  since  the  presentation  of  our  last  Re- 
port.    Thus   the   missionary    ranks    have    suffered    an    unusual

mortality,  many  circles  of  kindred  have  been  filled  with  sorrow, 
and  the  whole  cause  has  experienced  irreparable  loss.  The 
year  has  been  signalized,  also,  by  the  death  of  the  first  native 
convert  of  the  India  Mission,  Rev.  Golaknath,  a  man  whose 
stable  Christian  character  and  faithful  ministerial  labor  had 
entitled  him  to  the  esteem  and  love  of  the  Lodiana  Mission. 

During  the  year  Mr.  Robert  Elliott  Speer  was  appointed  as 
an  Assistant  Secretary,  in  view  of  the  resignation  of  the  Rev. 
John  C.  Lowrie,  D.D.,  in  the  previous  year,  and  of  the  greatly 
increasing  work  of  the  Board  in  its  executive  department.  Mr. 
Speer  has  been  closely  identified  with  the  work  of  arousing  the 
missionary  spirit  among  the  young,  and  his  work  in  the  office 
and  in  the  churches  gives  great  satisfaction.  Rev.  John  Gilles- 
pie, D.D.,  having  been  commissioned  by  the  Board  to  visit  the 
India  Missions  for  the  purpose  of  making  a  thorough  inspec- 
tion of  their  work,  in  order  to  communicate  to  the  Board  a 
fuller  knowledge  of  its  extensive  work  in  India,  left  New  York 
about  the  first  of  August  and  returned  early  in  March.  He 
was  authorized,  also,  to  make  a  brief  visit  to  the  East  Japan 
Mission,  with  which,  as  Secretary,  he  has  the  correspondence. 
Dr.  and  Mrs.  Gillespie  were  greatly  favored  by  the  Divine 
providence  which  preserved  their  lives  and  health  and  secured 
a  full  and  satisfactory  result  of  their  long  journey.  The  full 
and  able  report  of  this  visit  of  the  Secretary  is  presented  to  the 
General  Assembly  as  a  supplement  to  this  Report.  During  Dr. 
Gillespie's  absence  his  work  was  in  the  hands  of  Rev.  James  S. 
Dennis,  D.D.,  of  Syria,  at  present  in  this  country,  who  freely 
gave  his  time  to  the  Board  and  to  whom  for  this  and  other 
services  the  Board  is  peculiarly  grateful. 

The  Board  has  great  reason  for  gratitude  for  the  peace  and 
quiet  which  have  attended  its  work  in  many  fields,  notwith- 
standing rumors  of  disturbances  which  have  been  rife  through- 
out the  year,  and  the  many  anxieties  to  which  the  missionaries 
and  their  friends  have  been  subject.  The  war  in  Chili,  which 
threatened  to  bring  disaster  to  the  Chili  Mission,  and  even  to 
result  in  serious  complications  with  our  Government,  has  hap- 
pily passed  without  in  any  way  compromising  or  disturbing 
our  missionaries,  or  creating  any  impressions  which  are  likely 
to  seriously  affect  our  American  influence.  There  is  reason,  on 
the  contrary,  to  hope  that  with  the  firm  establishment  of  right- 
ful government  in  Chili,  and  with  the  maintenance  of  unbroken 


FIFTY-FIFTH    ANNUAL   REPORT.  7 

confidence  in  our  missionaries  on  the  part  of  the  people,  in- 
creased opportunities  may  be  afforded  for  the  prosecution  of 
an  earnest  and  increasingly  successful  work. 

Notwithstanding  the  political  difficulties  which  throughout 
the  whole  year  have  disturbed  the  republic  of  Guatemala,  no 
serious  injury  has  befallen  our  mission.  In  Syria,  as  in  other 
parts  of  the  Turkish  empire,  severe  restrictions  have  been 
placed  by  the  Government  upon  various  forms  of  mission  work, 
and  yet,  happily,  that  work  has  gone  forward  without  serious 
curtailment  and  with  a  gratifying  degree  of  success.  Special 
gratitude  to  the  great  Head  of  the  Church  is  due  for  that  over- 
ruling providence  which  has  turned  the  many  threatenings  of 
disturbance  to  the  missions  in  China  into  signal  advantages, 
— to  a  freer  access  and  safer  prosecution  of  the  work  than  have 
been  known  for  many  years  past. 

For  a  full  decade  some  of  the  stations  of  the  Shantung 
Mission  have  been  thwarted  in  their  efforts  to  secure  property 
for  missionary  purposes  ;  but  a  recent  edict  of  the  Imperial 
Government,  called  forth  by  the  mobs  and  political  disturb- 
ances of  the  year,  have  placed  the  cause  of  missions  upon 
a  sounder  basis  than  ever  before,  authorizing  the  sale  of 
property  to  our  missionaries,  enjoining  upon  local  authorities 
thorough  protection,  and  even  commending  the  work  of  the 
missionaries  as  loyal,  disinterested,  and  humane. 

The  apprehensions  which  have  been  felt  in  regard  to  the  re- 
actionary influences  in  Japan  have  been,  in  part  at  least,  miti- 
gated, and,  although  there  is  less  readiness  to  receive  the  Gospel 
than  in  some  former  years,  it  is  believed  that  the  prospects  of 
the  Japanese  church  and  of  the  missionary  operations  which 
promote  its  growth  are  upon  a  sound  basis  which  promises 
continued  prosperity  in  the  years  to  come. 

While  there  has  not  been  a  general  outpouring  of  the  Spirit 
upon  the  mission  fields  as  a  whole,  there  have  been  some  most 
gratifying  indications  of  the  Divine  presence  in  the  ingathering 
of  many  souls.  The  missionaries  in  the  Laos  Mission  have 
been  permitted  to  welcome  241  native  converts  to  the  church, 
and  in  the  Shantung  Mission  760  have  been  added.  There  has 
also  been  a  very  marked  advance  toward  the  self-support  of 
the  Shantung  churches. 

The  fact  that  the  aggregate  gifts  received  by  the  Board  from 
many  of  the  presbyteries  have  fallen  off,  as  compared  with  the 


8  FIFTY-FIFTH   ANNUAL   REPORT. 

contributions  of  the  previous  year,  has  caused  no  little  anxiety. 
The  offerings  of  its  living  membership,  made  through  the  Church 
itself,ought  to  constitute  the  chief  reliance  of  this  great  work ;  and 
the  Board  would  respectfully  call  attention  to  the  importance  of 
maintaining  this  resource,  which  is  under  the  immediate  direc- 
tion of  the  sessions,  presbyteries,  and  synods.  While  gifts  from 
other  sources  are  most  gladly  welcomed,  it  is  indispensable  to 
keep  in  mind  the  fact  that  this  great  enterprise  of  Foreign 
Missions  rests  upon  the  divine  organization  of  the  Church  it- 
self, of  which  the  Board  is  but  a  servant,  through  the  appoint- 
ment and  direction  of  the  General  Assembly,  and  that  the  good 
faith  of  the  whole  Church  as  a  Church  is  plighted  for  the  prose- 
cution and  support  of  its  work. 

The  report  of  the  Standing  Committee  on  Foreign  Missions, 
which  was  adopted  by  the  last  General  Assembly,  urged 
upon  pastors  and  sessions,  upon  presbyterial  and  synodical 
committees,  to  take  the  matter  of  means  and  methods,  of 
stimulating  interest  and  securing  necessary  funds,  upon  their 
hearts,  and  to  devise  liberal  things.  And  it  especially  urged 
that,  in  addition  to  a  generous  annual  collection,  other  means 
should  be  devised  by  the  churches  themselves  for  supple- 
menting the  aggregate  supply  required  for  so  great  a  work. 
It  recommended  that  devoted  possessors  of  ample  means 
be  encouraged  to  go  forth  at  their  own  charges;  and  that 
others  who  are  able  should  individually  assume  the  support 
of  missionaries  or  of  native  helpers.  It  directed  that  such 
special  work  should  be  done  through  the  Board.  Finally,  it 
was  resolved,  "that  the  recommendation  of  the  previous  year 
as  to  expenditure  ($1,000,000)  be  reaffirmed  for  this  year,  with 
instructions  to  the  Board  to  obey  the  injunction  of  the  General 
Assembly  if  its  expenditures  should  demand  so  much.  And 
the  churches  are  urged  to  at  once  plan  to  meet  the  requisition 
by  raising  the  sum  of  a  million  and  one  hundred  thousand  dol- 
lars, that  this  Board  may  incur  no  debt."  The  Board  has  felt 
authorized  to  expend  $1,002,327.94,  which  is  quite  within  the 
$1,100,000  called  for  by  the  Assembly. 

The  Board  would  respectfully  request  that  the  large  and 
generous  plans  which  are  devised  by  the  Assembly  from  year 
to  year  may  be  studiously  and  effectively  carried  out  by 
synods,  presbyteries,  and  sessions,  in  order  that  the  solemn 
responsibilities  involved  in  appropriating  such   large  amounts 


FIFTY-FIFTH    ANNUAL    REPORT.  9 

may  be  shared  by  the  whole  Church.  The  Board,  while 
thankful  for  the  measure  of  support  given  by  the  Church  at 
large,  would  especially  record  its  grateful  appreciation  of  the 
efforts  of  many  pastors,  churches,  and  individuals  who  have 
striven  to  secure  a  decided  advance  in  their  contributions  over 
those  of  previous  years;  it  recognizes,  with  gratitude  to  God, 
the  untiring  and  assiduous  efforts  of  the  various  Woman's 
Boards  and  their  numerous  auxiliaries  in  not  only  maintaining, 
but  as  far  as  possible  advancing,  the  contributions  made  for 
this  great  work;  and  it  would  thankfully  encourage  the  laud- 
able efforts  of  the  Christian  Endeavor  Societies  and  other  or- 
ganizations of  the  young,  as  well  as  the  Sabbath-schools  of  the 
Church,  which  have  shown  an  increased  interest  in  the  support 
of  missionaries  or  helpers  or  the  maintenance  of  other  special 
objects  under  the  direction  of  the  Board.  And  in  this  connec- 
tion the  Board  would  take  occasion  to  commend  to  all  pastors, 
sessions,  and  Sabbath-school  superintendents  the  encourage- 
ment and  cultivation  of  the  missionary  spirit  in  the  young,  who 
at  the  present  time  seem  so  generally  and  so  deeply  interested 
in  all  forms  of  Christian  activity,  and  it  would  emphasize  the 
importance  of  leading  them  to  bring  their  contributions  within 
the  lines  of  work  to  which  the  Board  by  its  appropriations 
stands  pledged. 

Special  mention  should  be  made  of  the  fact  that  during  the 
last  year  fifteen  missionaries  have  been  sustained  by  individuals, 
some  of  whom  have  shown  a  very  unusual  degree  of  liberality 
in  this  method  of  preaching  the  Gospel  in  distant  lands  by 
proxy.  Twenty-five  have  been  supported  by  individual  churches, 
and  it  has  been  found  in  several  instances  that  bv  adopting 
this  plan  the  aggregate  gifts  of  such  churches  have  been 
increased  two  and  sometimes  three  fold.  The  Christian  En- 
deavor Societies,  by  grouping  their  contributions  under  the 
wise  and  systematic  direction  of  Mrs.  H.  H.  Fry.  who  has  par- 
ticular oversight  of  all  recognized  special  objects,  have  fur- 
nished the  means  of  supporting  twelve  missionaries. 

Rev.  Thomas  Marshall,  D.D.,  acting  as  Field  Secretary  of 
the  Board,  under  the  authorization  of  the  General  Assembly 
of  1890,  has  rendered  a  full  and  encouraging  report  of  his  ex- 
tended labors  in  the  various  synods  of  the  Central  West.  His 
work  has  met  with  the  approval  and  co-operation  of  pastors 
and  churches  so  far  as   known.     His   labors   have   been   unre-

mitted,  b  >th  in  correspondence  with  a  view  to  the  permanent 
organization  of  effort  in  the  churches  and  Sabbath-schools,  and 
in  visitation  of  congregations,  presbyteries,  and  synods.  He  has 
given  encouragement  to  Woman's  work  for  Missions  by  attend- 
ing the  meetings  of  presbyterial  societies  and  their  auxiliaries. 
He  has  also  visited,  to  some  extent,  colleges,  theological  semi- 
naries, and  ladies'  seminaries.  Special  attention  has  been  given 
to  stimulating  the  united  co-operation  of  presbyterial  and  syn- 
odical  committees. 

The   Board   has  received  during  the  year  the  following  con- 
tributions: 

From  Churches $332,960. 18 

Women's  Boards 316,731.11 

Sabbath-schools 34,928.47 

Christian  Endeavor  Societies 9,035.60 

Individuals  and  miscellaneous  sources .  .  104,584.18 

Legacies 133,049.93 


Total $931,292.47 

The  particulars  of  these  receipts  and  of  the  Board's  disburse- 
ments will  be  found  in  the  financial  report  herewith  sub- 
mitted. 

As  the  term  of  office  of  the  following  members  of  the  Board 
has  expired,  the  Board  would  respectfully  request  the  Assem- 
bly to  fill  the  vacancies  by  re-election  or  otherwise:  Rev.  W. 
M.  Paxton,  D.D.;  Rev.  J.  D.Wells,  D.D.;  Rev.  J.  Balcom  Shaw; 
Rev.  David  Gregg,  D.D.;  Messrs.  E.  M.  Kingsley  and  Alexan- 
der Maitland. 

Finally,  the  Board  would  ask  the  General  Assembly  and  the 
whole  Church  to  unite  with  it  in  thanksgiving  to  the  great 
Head  of  the  Church  for  His  continued  blessing  upon  the  many 
fields  of  labor  and  their  laborers,  and  in  earnest  prayer  that  the 
cause  so  vital  to  the  spread  and  to  the  very  existence  of  the 
Church,  may  continue  to  share,  and  in  ever-increasing  measure, 
that  Divine  oversight  and  inspiration  which  are  indispensable 
to  its  success. 

Special  action  of  the  Board  in  relation  to  certain  matters  handed 
down  by  the  General  Assembly. 

The  attention  of  the  Board  has  been  called  to  a  letter  from 
Rev.  William  H.  Roberts,  D.D.,  Stated  Clerk  of  the  General 
Assembly,  dated  December  26th,  stating  that  a  letter  had  re- 


FIFTY-FIFTH    ANNUAL   REPORT.  I  I 

cently  been  received  by  him  from  Rev.  Norman  L.  Walker, 
D.D.,  of  Dysart,  Scotland,  proposing  that  our  Church  under- 
take the  maintenance  of  preaching  at  San  Moritz,  in  the  Enga- 
dine.  Dr.  Roberts  also  stated  that  the  general  subject  of  the 
supply  of  preaching  stations  in  Europe  by  our  ministry  was  re- 
ferred by  the  last  General  Assembly  to  the  Board  of  Foreign 
Missions.     (See  Minutes  of  General  Assembly,  1891,  p.  134.) 

The  action  of  the  Assembly  related  to  a  report  of  its  Com- 
mittee on  Co-operation  with  the  Protestant  Churches  on  the 
Continent  of  Europe.  The  important  clause  in  that  action  is 
as  follows: 

"The  necessity  for  this  Committee  does  not  appear  to  con- 
tinue, and  it  is  suggested  that  it  be  discharged,  and  that  the 
American  Secretary  of  the  Alliance  be  requested  to  communi- 
cate with  the  Secretaries  of  the  Board  of  Foreign  Missions, 
through  which  Board  aid  has  been  rendered  to  continental 
churches." 

"The  resolution  and  recommendation  was  adopted  and  the 
committee  discharged."  (See  Minutes  of  the  General  Assem- 
bly, 1890,  pp.  47,  48.) 

The  Board  decided  that  in  the  present  condition  of  its 
finances,  and  also  in  view  of  the  nature  of  the  work  proposed, 
it  be  deemed  inexpedient  for  the  Board  to  make  provision  for 
the  pulpit  at  San  Moritz.  (See  Minutes  of  the  Board  herewith 
submitted,  p.  136.) 

A  letter  of  March  10,  1891,  from  Rev.  Ben  Oliel,  of  Jerusa- 
lem, addressed  to  the  Stated  Clerk  of  the  General  Assembly, 
and  by  him  brought  before  the  Assembly,  was  referred  by  that 
body  to  the  Board  of  Foreign  Missions.  (See  Minutes  of  Gen- 
eral Assembly,  1891,  p.  109.)  This  letter  proposed  the  co-op- 
eration in  missionary  work  in  Jerusalem  by  some  one  or  more 
of  the  Presbyterian  bodies  in  the  U.  S.  A.  with  the  writer.  It 
was  accompanied  by  a  pamphlet  complaining  of  the  alleged 
persecution  of  a  Presbyterian  missionary  in  Jerusalem  by  an- 
other Protestant  missionary  society.  Having  given  the  above 
communications  due  consideration,  the  Board  took  the  follow- 
ing action.     (Minutes  of  Board,  p.  134.) 

That  inasmuch  as  the  city  of  Jerusalem  is  already  well  occu- 
pied by  other  evangelical  mission  bodies,  it  is  not  properly  a 
Presbyterian   mission   field,  and   that  the  Rev.  A.  Ben  Oliel  is 


12  FIFTY-FIFTH   ANNUAL    REPORT. 

not  sufficiently  known  to  the  Board  to  enable  it  to  take  any 
action  regarding  his  plans  or  his  complaint.  (Letter  of  Rev. 
W.  H.  Roberts,  D.D.,  Nov.  18,  1891,  enclosing  letter  of  Rabbi 
Ben  Oliel,  March  10,  1891.) 

The  following  action  was  taken  upon  a  resolution  of  the  As- 
sembly of  1S91  relating  to  the  Board's  Manual.  (See  Minutes 
of  the  Assembly,  p.  109.) 

The  committee  on  Dr.  Nevius'  resolution,  relative  to  changes 
in  the  Manual,  reported  as  follows: 

"The  following  resolution,  introduced  to  the  General  Assem- 
bly in  May,  1891,  by  Rev.  J.  L.  Nevius,  D.D.,  of  the  Shantung 
Presbytery,  was  referred  by  the  Assembly,  upon  recommenda- 
tion of  its  Standing  Committee,  to  the  Board  of  Foreign  Mis- 
sions, and  the  Board  referred  it  to  the  undersigned  for  report 
after  conference  with  the  Council: 

'  Resolved,  That  all  rules  proposed  by  the  Board  of  Foreign  Missions  for 
the  direction  and  control  of  the  missionaries  of  our  Church  be  first  submitted 
to  the  missionaries  in  the  different  mission  fields  for  suggestion  and  reported 
to  the  General  Assembly,  together  with  the  other  business  proceedings  of  the 
Board.' 

"Your  Committee  held  a  meeting  October  5,  1891,  at  which 
the  author  of  the  resolution  presented  to  the  Assembly,  Rev. 
Dr.  Nevius,  was  present  by  invitation. 

"  In  a  carefully  drawn  paper,  to  which  reference  is  made,  Dr. 
Nevius,  for  himself  and  others,  presented  several  objections  to 
the  matter  and  manner  of  the  Manual  last  issued  by  the  Board, 
also  the  reasons  which  led  him  to  offer  his  resolution  in  the  Gen- 
eral Assembly. 

"  The  interview  with  Dr.  Nevius  was  free,  candid,  and  cordial. 

"A  subsequent  meeting  in  conjunction  with  the  Council  was 
held  November  2,  1891,  at  which  inquiries  were  made  as  to  the 
character  and  extent  of  similar  objections  reaching  the  office 
through  the  regular  correspondence. 

"As  a  result  of  these  inquiries  and  examinations,  your  Com- 
mittee are  of  the  opinion  that  the  alleged  grievances  are  sus- 
ceptible of  easy  adjustment  by  frank  and  friendly  communica- 
tion with  the  Executive  Officers  and  the  concurrent  action  of 
the  Board. 

"Neither  this  Board  nor  its  Executive  Officers  have  any  wish 
or  purpose  to  burden  our  missionaries  unnecessarily,  but  the 
operations  of  the   Board   have  attained   such   magnitude  as  to 


FIFTY-FIFTH    ANNUAL   REPORT.  13 

demand  for  its  proper  control  a  working  code,  general  in  its 
scope,  simple  in  form,  as  moderate  as  the  circumstances  will 
allow  in  its  demands  upon  the  time  of  the  missionaries,  and 
easy  of  adaptation  to  the  widely  differing  circumstances  of  the 
various  nationalities  and  individualities  with  which  we  have  to 
deal. 

"If,  in  the  administration  of  the  Board's  affairs,  'all  rules 
proposed  by  the  Board  are  first  to  be  submitted  to  the  mission- 
aries in  the  different  mission  fields  for  suggestion,'  every 
change  of  rules  will  require  a  special  correspondence,  not  with 
twenty  or  thirty  missions,  but  with  three  hundred  or  more  mis- 
sionaries, bringing  a  harvest  of  'suggestions,'  and  occasioning 
unreasonable  delay. 

"In  reply  to  the  above  resolution,  your  Committee  recom- 
mend the  adoption  of  the  following  Minute: 

"With  regard  to  the  first  section  of  the  resolution,  while  it 
would  seem  not  always  practicable  that  new  rules  should  be 
submitted  to  the  missions  before  adoption,  yet,  in  the  case  of 
any  amendment  to  the  Manual,  introducing  radical  changes  in 
the  internal  administration  of  the  missions  themselves,  the 
Board  recognizes  the  propriety  of  consulting  the  missions  be- 
fore final  action. 

"As  to  the  second  section,  the  entire  Minutes  of  the  Board, 
including  all  its  rules,  being  now  subject  to  the  review  and  ap- 
proval of  the  Assembly,  the  object  aimed  at  in  the  resolution 
seems  fully  accomplished  by  the  Assembly's  present  method. 

"Certain  points  in  the  statement  of  Dr.  Nevius  above  men- 
tioned were  referred  to  the  same  Committee  and  the  Council." 

Further  action  was  taken  by  the  Board  (see  Minutes  of  the 
Board,  March  21,  1892)  as  follows  : 

"  In  view  of  the  resolution  touching  the  government  of  our  foreign  mis- 
sions, referred  to  the  Hoard  by  the  General  Assembly  at  Detroit,  upon  which 
the  Board  has  already  taken  action  (see  Minutes,  pages  124  and  126),  and  sug- 
gestions received  from  time  to  time  from  missions  and  missionaries,  it  was 
resolved  to  take  steps  looking  to  the  revision  of  the  Manual  now  in  use.  The 
Council  was  directed  to  issue  a  circular-letter  to  the  missionaries,  asking  them 
at  their  first  regular  meeting  to  consider  the  Manual,  and  to  suggest  such 
modifications  as  in  their  judgment  are  wise.  It  was  also  agreed  that  the  in- 
dividual missionaries  on  furlough  in  the  United  States  who  would  not  return 
to  their  fields  in  season  for  the  regular  meeting  of  their  respective  missions, 
be  requested  to  give  their  views  on.  the  same  subject  in  writing  ;   when  the 


14  FIFTY-FIFTH   ANNUAL   REPORT. 

answers  are   received,  the   Board   to  consider  the  consensus  of  opinion  thus 
secured  and  take  action  in  the  premises." 

A  communication  was  received  from  the  Executive  Commit- 
tee of  the  Presbyterian  Church  in  the  United  States,  dated 
April  12,  iSy2,  suggesting  mutual  correspondence  and  co- 
operation between  that  Committee  and  this  Board  in  relation 
to  the  Foreign  Mission  work  of  these  two  branches  of  the  Pres- 
byterian Church.  This  communication  was  heartily  responded 
to  by  formal  action  of  the  Board,  taken  April  18th.  Copies  of 
the  communication  of  the  Executive  Committee  and  the  re- 
sponse of  the  Board  are  incorporated  in  the  Board's  Minutes.

1882;  laborers —Rev.  Robert  H.  Nassau,  M.D.,  Rev.  and  Mrs.  W.  A.  Bannerman,  Miss 
Isabella  A.  Nassau,  and  one  native  teacher. 

In  this  country :  Rev.  R.  H.  Nassau,  M.D.,  and  Miss  Isabella  A.  Nassau. 

It  is  to  be  recorded  with  gratitude  that  the  health  of  our  missionaries 
in  this  trying  climate  has  been  quite  up  to  the  average  during  the  year, 
although  some  of  them  had  to  seek  a  brief  change  south  of  the  Congo. 
The  sudden  death  of  Mr.  Robert  Tissot,  one  of  the  French  teachers, 
after  a  service  of  one  month  on  the  Ogowe,  cast  a  dark  shadow  over 
the  mission.  Mr.  Tissot,  though  a  stranger,  had  impressed  the  mission 
as  a  man  of  devout  piety,  earnest  purpose,  and  excellent  ability.  The 
force  was  increased  during  the  year  by  the  addition  of  Mr.  E.  A.  Ford 
and  Miss  Hulda  Christiansen,  and  by  the  return  of  Mrs.  A.  VV.  Mar- 

It  will  be  seen  from  the  detailed  reports  that  the  ingatherings  on  the 
Ogowe  and  in  the  northern  part  of  the  field  continue  to  be  encouraging, 
while  at  most  of  the  stations  there  seems  to  be  evidence  of  an  increas- 
ing spiritual  life.  After  much  patient  waiting  and  earnest  prayer  a 
partial  transfer  of  our  mission  work  on  the  Ogowe  has  recently  been 
made  by  the  Board  to  the  Societe  des  Kvangelique  of  Paris.  Messrs. 
Allegret  and  Tiesseres  of  this  Society,  who  spent  a  number  of  months 
last  year  in  examining  our  field,  with  a  view  to  selecting  a  location  for 
permanent  work  in  West  Africa,  reported  so  favorably  that  the  Society 
immediately  took  steps  looking  to  the  accepting  of  at  least  some  of 
our  mission  stations  within  French  territory.  After  a  careful  examina- 
tion of  the  whole  question,  the  Society  signified  its  willingness  to  ac- 
cept Talaguga,  our  most  northern  station  on  the  Ogowe.  The  Board 
promptly  and  cordially  ordered  its  transfer,  and  it  is  expected  that  the 
French  missionaries  will  enter  upon  their  work  in  May.     This  intro-

duction  of  a  French  Protestant  element  into  the  field  is  welcomed  by 
the  Board  as  a  pledge  and  promise  of  better  things,  as  it  is  believed 
that  the  French  Government  will  be  more  generous  toward  their  own 
subjects  than  they  have  been  toward  American  missionaries,  and  that 
their  presence  may  secure  some  relaxation  of  the  stringent  rules  in 
force.  It  is  the  purpose  of  the  Board  to  labor  side  by  side  with  the 
Evangelical  Society  unless,  in  the  providence  of  God,  the  way  shall 
open  for  a  further  transfer  of  the  work.  In  view  of  the  transfer  of 
Talaguga  the  Board  has  authorized  two  members  of  the  mission  to  ex- 
amine the  country  back  of  Batanga,  and  report  on  the  feasibility  of 
opening  work  in  the  interior.  If  the  reports  of  explorers  are  to  be 
credited,  a  relatively  healthy  country,  peopled  by  a  superior  class  of 
people,  lies  behind  the  coast  belt.  May  the  providence  of  God  pro- 
tect the  brethren  who  go  on  this  pioneer  mission  and  guide  them  into 
a  promising  field,  removed  from  the  blighting  influence  of  foreign 
traders  and  from  the  malaria  which  infests  the  coast  ! 

Kangwe  Station. 

Beginning  at  the  south  the  first  station  of  importance  is  Kangwe, 
the  centre  of  a  great  work  which  has  already  frequently  gladdened  the 
heart  of  the  Church.  Of  the  churches  along  the  river  Mr.  Good 
writes  :  "  The  little  church  of  thirty-five  members  which  I  found  at 
Kangwe  in  1885  nas  novv  become  four  flourishing  churches,  with  an 
aggregate  membership  of  three  hundred  and  twenty-seven.  During 
the  year  sixty-eight  have  professed  their  faith  in  Christ  in  baptism, 
eighty-nine  have  been  enrolled  as  inquirers,  and  deducting  all  losses 
we  have  left  two  hundred  and  fifty-eight  inquirers."  Of  these  four 
churches,  that  at  Olamba,  twenty-five  miles  below  Kangwe  on  the 
smaller  branch  of  the  river,  was  organized  during  the  year  with  a  member- 
ship of  forty-three,  and  the  inquiry-class  numbers  forty-five.  Mr.  Good 
has  devoted  about  one  week  each  month  to  these  river  churches,  and 
held  a  quarterly  communion  in  each.  In  some  villages  and  churches 
a  coldness  had  crept  over  many  of  the  Christians,  but  at  the  close  of 
the  year  there  was  a  decided  revival,  especially  among  some  of  the 
young  men.  Six  Bible-readers  labored  most  of  the  year  at  various 
points  along  the  Ogowe,  and  on  the  lakes  connected  with  the  river. 
These  Bible-readers,  besides  being  visited  quarterly  by  Mr.  Good, 
spent  a  month  in  Kangwe,  receiving  instruction  in  the  Scriptures. 
Licentiate  Mbora  continues  to  hold  forth  the  Word  of  Life  among  the 
Nkami  at  Enyonga,  75  miles  below  Kangwe. 

Educational. — Early  in  the  year  a  school,  which  finally  numbered 
60  boys,  was  opened  by  Mr.  Jacot,  and  continued  under  his  care  until 
the  arrival  of  Mr.  Robert  Tissot,  a  French  teacher,  whose  unexpected 
death  at  the  end  of  three  months  has  been  noted  elsewhere.  This  sore 
dispensation  again  threw  the  school  on  Mr.  Jacot  until  Mr.  Presset, 
formerly  of  Baraka,  returned  from  his  furlough  and  was  transferred  to 
Kangwe.  Eight  of  the  lads  were  baptized  on  confession  of  their  faith, 
and  four  were  enrolled  in  the  inquiry-class.  Mr.  Jacot  thus  refers  to 
a  difficulty  in  school  work  :  "The  chief  obstacle  to  thorough  work  in 


GABOON    AND    CORISCO—  TALAGUGA.  19 

the  school  has  been  the  temptation  for  our  scholars  to  get  work  as 
house-boys,  etc.,  in  the  factories.  The  demand  for  Kangwe  trained 
lads  is  constant,  and  on  the  other  side  the  present  dowry  system  com- 
pels a  boy  as  soon  as  he  can  work  to  find  from  $70  to  $100  in  goods 
with  which  to  purchase  a  wife.  So  far  trade  has  been  almost  the  only 
means  open  to  them  for  getting  goods,  so  that  as  soon  as  our  scholars 
get  a  smattering  of  French,  or  are  able  to  read  a  little,  the  temptation 
to  find  work  at  the  factories  is  almost  irresistible.  When  the  dowry 
system  has  been  overthrown,  as  is  now  already  the  case  in  our  northern 
field,  one  motive  for  seeking  goods  will  have  been  removed."  Special 
instruction  was  given  to  some  of  the  older  boys  who  are  likely  to  be- 
come useful  helpers  in  the  work.  Two  students  for  the  ministry  re- 
ceived such  training  as  it  was  possible  to  give  them  by  brethren  who 
are  pressed  out  of  measure  even  without  this  added  burden.  It  is 
much  to  be  desired  that  some  more  adequate  provision  could  be  made 
for  training  helpers  and  preachers  in  this  great  field. 

Mrs.  Good,  whose  health  is  far  from  rugged,  has  had  a  school  for 
giils  numbering  from  ten  to  twelve.  They  have  been  taught  not  only 
the  rudiments  of  education,  but  such  household  industries  as  sewing, 
washing,  etc.  Six  of  them  were  enrolled  during  the  year  in  the  inquiry- 
class,  and  their  lives  are  such  as  to  encourage  the  hope  that  they  are 
trying  to  follow  Christ.  This  school  meets  a  long-felt  want.  Much 
has  been  done  for  the  men,  but  scarcely  anything  for  the  women. 
Were  the  way  open  this  school  could  readily  be  greatly  increased  in 
numbers. 

Literary. — Notwithstanding  his  outside  cares,  Mr.  Good  devoted  a 
good  deal  of  time  to  the  revision  of  the  Mpongwe  hymn-book  in  use, 
and  the  Mpongwe  New  Testament.  Concerning  the  latter  he  writes  : 
"  Even  in  the  Gospels  there  is  hardly  one  verse  in  five  that  does  not 
need  some  change,  and  when  we  come  to  the  Epistles  the  old  version 
is  simply  unintelligible  in  some  places."  It  is  hoped  that  provision 
will  be  made  for  the  publishing  of  these  books  in  the  near  future. 

Talaguga  Station. 

Mr.  Bannerman  writes  of  his  first  year  at  this  station  almost  enthu- 
siastically. With  the  aid  of  efficient  native  helpers  regular  services 
were  maintained  at  the  station,  and  a  good  deal  of  work  done  along 
the  river.  The  missionary  usually  made  three  trips  each  week  on  the 
river,  covering  a  distance  of  twenty-six  miles,  visiting  and  speaking  in 
the  various  towns  scattered  along  the  banks.  The  only  visible  out- 
come thus  far  is  the  appearance  of  more  tenderness  and  thoughtfulness 
in  some  lives  and  less  of  cruelty  in  others.  Indifference  and  ingratitude 
seem  to  be  giving  place  to  a  kindling  of  interest  in  the  truth.  In  one 
instance  the  son  of  the  chief  met  the  missionary  at  the  landing  with 
the  greeting:  "Why  are  you  so  long  in  coming?  Go  to  my  father's 
palaver-house  and  I  will  call  the  people.  We  are  glad  to  have  you 
come  to-day,  for  there  are  many  strangers  here  from  a  three  days' 
journey  in  the  bush  who  will  be  glad  to  hear  the  Word  of  God."  In 
this  same  direction  Mr.  Bannerman  writes  :  "  Besides  our  going  out  to 
meet  the  Pangvves  many  times,  canoe  loads  of  them  come  to  our  land- 


20  GABOON   AND   CORISCO — BARAKA. 

ing,  usually  having  some  strangers  from  the  bush  asking  us  to  take 
them  to  the  '  House  of  the  Sabbath,'  and  tell  them  the  '  words  of 
God.'  Occasionally  they  frankly  tell  us  that  they  don't  believe  us ; 
that  they  have  lived  and  died  many  generations ;  that  we  are  the  first 
to  tell  them  these  wonderful  words  ;  that  they  keep  turning  and  turn- 
ing them  over  in  their  hearts  and  talking  about  them  ;  that  we  must 
not  grow  wearied  telling  them  and  visiting  them,  and  perhaps  by  and 
by  they  will  follow  us.  Should  we  neglect  for  some  time  to  visit  a 
town,  they  always  complain  at  our  next  visit.  Pangwes  from  the  bush 
have  many  times  prayed  us  to  visit  their  towns  and  speak  to  their 
people,  promising  us  all  hospitality.  The  outlook  for  the  future  is 
promising.  We  believe  that  before  many  years  there  will  be  a  large 
river  population  within  easy  reach  of  Talaguga.  During  this  year 
thirteen  towns  have  been  built." 

Baraka  Station. 

The  time  of  the  missionary  in  charge  of  this  station  continues  to  be 
largely  occupied  with  secular  cares.  "  Storing  and  shipping  goods, 
declaring  and  computing  duties,  visiting  Custom  House  officials,  call- 
ing on  other  officials,  overseeing  workmen,  making  repairs  and  keeping 
accounts,"  are  among  the  duties  which  have  claimed  much  of  Mr. 
Gault's  time  and  strength.  Happily  he  was  relieved  in  a  measure  by 
Mr.  Ford  in  July,  so  that  he  was  able  to  turn  his  attention  more  fully 
to  the  spiritual  part  of  the  station  work.  Regular  services  have  been 
maintained  on  the  Sabbath,  including,  during  part  of  the  year,  an 
afternoon  service  on  the  plateau,  a  mile  from  the  mission  premises, 
which  was  undertaken  with  the  hope  of  reaching  native  Government 
employees.  Mr.  Ford  has  also  given  instruction  to  a  class  of  Kroo 
boys,  who  are  the  boatmen  and  laborers  on  that  part  of  the  West 
Coast.  Several  indications  of  increasing  interest  in  the  church  ser- 
vices and  in  the  spiritual  condition  of  the  people  are  noted.  Seven 
persons  united  with  the  church  during  the  year,  making  a  total  mem- 
bership of  fifty-one.  Some  outlying  villages  and  plantations  have  been 
regularly  visited  by  one  of  the  elders,  while  the  women  and  children  in 
the  villages  within  easy  access  of  the  station  have  been  looked  after  by 
an  experienced  Bible-woman.  A  licentiate  has  been  stationed  at 
Ovendo  Point,  from  which  he  has  itinerated  among  the  villages,  but 
without  being  able  to  report  any  visible  spiritual  results. 

The  school  at  this  station  felt  the  absence  of  Mr.  Presset,  who  had 
been  on  furlough  in  Fiance  on  account  of  ill  health,  and  who  has 
since  been  transferred  to  Kangwe.  The  main  difficulty  with  the  school 
is  that  no  adequate  provision  is  made  for  boarding  pupils,  and  that  the 
children  in  the  surrounding  district  cannot  be  relied  upon  to  attend 
with  regularity,  their  parents  not  sufficiently  appreciating  the  oppor- 
tunity wiihin  reach.  Provision  has  been  made  for  a  fesv  boys  at  the 
station,  but  if  the  school  is  to  be  conducted  with  success  it  is  thought 
that  boys  must  be  secured  from  other  parts  of  the  field  and  kept  under 
the  immediate  eye  of  the  missionary. 

In   addition   to  exacting  household  cares  which  devolve  upon  the

missionary  lady  at  the  port  of  entry,  Mrs.  Gault  has  revived  the  Women's 
Missionary  Society,  where  in  addition  to  regular  services  the  women 
have  been  furnished  with  sewing,  thereby  contributing  to  the  work  of 
the  Board.  She  has  also  conducted  a  women's  prayer-meeting  on 
Sunday  afternoons,  and  organized  a  society  for  the  improvement  of  the 
women,  composed  largely  of  those  who  as  girls  had  attended  the  mis- 
sion school.  These  various  efforts  among  the  women  are  telling  favor- 
ably in  increased  attendance  on  the  usual  means  of  grace. 

Angom  Station. 

Mr.  Marling,  after  an  absence  in  the  United  States,  resumed  the 
charge  of  this  station  early  last  year.  In  addition  to  the  usual  relig- 
ious services  at  the  station,  he  made  several  itinerating  tours,  preach- 
ing in  the  villages  at  a  distance  from  Angom,  where  he  reports  attentive 
listeners  to  the  Word.  With  a  view  to  furthering  the  interests  of  the 
people,  he  also  introduced  several  new  kinds  of  industrial  work,  such 
as  the  planting  of  cacao  and  rubber  trees  and  the  making  of  bricks. 
It  would  be  difficult  to  overestimate  the  importance  of  industrial 
training  to  the  untutored  African,  especially  when  linked  with  instruc- 
tion for  developing  the  mind  and  heart. 

The  missionary  in  charge  has  conducted  a  school  for  boys  in  the 
Fang  language,  teaching  enough  French  to  meet  the  letter  of  the 
requirement  of  the  Government.  Mrs.  Ogden  has  done  a  similar 
work  for  the  girls,  some  of  whom  she  had  in  her  own  family.  Several 
things  in  Mrs.  Ogden's  report  illustrate  the  difficulties  under  which 
work  in  Africa  must  be  prosecuted.  She  writes  :  "  Nearly  all  our 
little  girls  are  wives,  and  are  under  the  care  of  the  older  wives,  who 
require  their  services  every  day.  Last  night  one  of  the  young  wives 
was  disrespectful  to  her  husband,  and  received  a  cruel  beating ;  an 
older  wife,  attempting  to  remonstrate,  was  quickly  informed  that  her 
own  safety  lay  in  her  silence."  Educational  work  prosecuted  under 
such  circumstances  is  not  likely  to  make  rapid  progress. 

Another  paragraph  refers  to  the  great  confusion  in  two  towns  near 
by  because  of  the  death  of  one  of  the  chiefs.  A  number  of  people, 
according  to  African  custom,  were  accused  of  hastening  his  death, 
which  was  avenged  by  the  tearing  down  of  all  his  houses  but  one. 
The  confusion  thus  occasioned  could  not  fail  for  a  time  to  operate 
adversely  against  mission  work.  She  notes  also  the  death  of  a  little 
girl  whose  friends  thought  she  would  not  be  allowed  to  enter  the  spirit 
world  because  her  cloth  was  not  sufficiently  fine.  Some  friends  car- 
ried a  few  yards  of  bright  new  print  and  laid  it  upon  her  bed  beside 
her  so  that  the  spirits  might  see  it  and  not  hinder  her  passage  to  the 
spirit  world.  Mrs.  Ogden  reports  increasing  interest  in  the  prayer- 
meeting  for  women.  Two  of  those  in  attendance  seemed  impressed 
with  a  sense  of  the  wickedness  of  their  hearts  and  lives  and  expressed 
a  desire  to  lead  a  new  life,  inquiring  anxiously  whether  it  was  possible 
to  change  when  they  were  old. 

Literary. — Mr.  Marling,  with  a  native  assistant,  has  translated  the 
Gospel  of   Matthew  into  the  Fang,  composed  several  new  hymns,  and 


GABOON  AND   CORISCO — BENITO.  23 

prepared  a  catechism  exposing  some  of  the  errors  of  Romanism  with 
which  the  people  of  Angom  are  brought  into  close  contact.  This 
latter  step  seemed  imperative  because  of  the  efforts  of  the  French 
priests  to  entice  the  children  away  from  Protestant  influence. 

Mrs.  Ogden  has  added  to  her  numerous  duties  that  of  caring  for  the 
sick. 

The  missionaries  at  Angom  are  full  of  hope,  although  they  are 
unable  as  yet  to  report  any  ingathering  into  the  kingdom. 

Benito  Station. 

Hitherto  the  territory  in  this  region  has  been  understood  to  be  in 
dispute  between  the  Spanish  and  French  Governments.  Now,  how- 
ever, the  French  seem  to  have  assumed  the  control,  and  are  insisting, 
though  mildly  as  yet,  on  the  restrictions  which  have  so  embarrassed 
our  work  on  the  Gaboon  and  Ogowe.  Whether  this  is  the  result  of  an 
official  compact  between  the  governments  or  not,  has  not  yet  transpired. 
A  letter  was  received  during  the  year  front  Count  De  Brazza,  the 
Governor-General  of  the  French  possessions  along  the  coast,  express- 
ing his  appreciation  of  the  efforts  of  our  missionaries  toward  the 
civilization  and  moral  uplifting  of  the  people  under  the  French  flag. 
The  reports  mention  with  deep  regret  the  breaking  out  of  a  tribal  war 
during  the  year  which  greatly  interfered  with  the  ordinary  current  of 
life,  and  necessarily  reacted  against  the  mission  work.  Fields  were 
left  untilled,  and  a  scarcity  of  food  was  the  necessary  consequence. 
Happily  the  war  has  terminated,  and  affairs  are  now  moving  on  in  the 
usual  course. 

Dr.  and  Mrs.  McMillan,  who  were  assigned  to  this  station  with  Mrs. 
DeHeer  and  Mrs.  Reutlinger,  have  rendered  good  service  at  this  sta- 
tion and  outstations,  as  well  as  to  our  missionaries  at  the  several 
stations  where  sickness  had  invaded  the  homes. 

The  church  has  been  under  the  care  of  a  native  pastor,  Rev.  Frank 
Myongo.  Several  persons  had  been  received  on  confession  of  faith. 
Quite  a  step  in  advance  has  been  taken  by  this  church  in  the  line  of 
systematic  beneficence.  In  addition  to  their  usual  collections  for  the 
Boards  of  the  Church,  the  pastor  suggested  that  the  men  should  con- 
tribute each  $1  every  six  months,  and  the  women  fifty  cents.  The 
congregation  met  on  the  day  succeeding  communion,  and  found  that 
$50  had  been  raised  in  answer  to  the  pastor's  suggestion.  After  the 
fashion  of  American  churches  on  an  occasion  of  great  rejoicing,  the 
people  rose  and  sang  enthusiastically  the  old  doxology.  The  collec- 
tion consisted  of  iron  pots,  oil,  pomade,  ringlets,  calico,  a  keg  of 
powder,  cutlasses,  etc.  These  goods  were  to  be  turned  into  money, 
and  the  proceeds  applied  to  some  specific  object,  possibly  the  support 
of  a  Bible-reader  on  the  Benito  river  to  labor  among  the  strangers 
from  the  interior  who  are  crowding  down  toward  the  coast.  One  of 
the  Bible-readers  had  been  up  there  holding  services  with  over  a 
hundred  persons  in  attendance,  and  had  learned  that  there  were  several 
inquirers  still  farther  in  the  interior.  A  more  recent  account  speaks  of 
twenty-six  inquirers  among  the  people  three  days'  journey  in  the  in-

terior,  while  six  were  admitted  to  the  Bata  church  at  the  last  com- 
munion. 

Dr.  McMillan  and  Mr.  Myongo  visited  the  outstation  Evitni, 
where  there  is  a  church  organization.  They  found  a  deeply  interesting 
state  of  things,  and  after  some  days'  public  services  fifty-four  persons 
were  baptized  on  profession  of  their  faith.  The  people  at  this  place, 
as  in  other  places  already  noted,  have  expressed  a  great  desire  for  a 
school  that  their  children  may  not  be  permitted  to  grow  up  in  igno- 
rance. Possibly  the  enlargement  of  the  school  at  Benito  might  answer 
the  purpose  for  a  time. 

Concerning  the  Girls  Boarding-School,  Mrs.  DeHeer  writes : 
"  Our  girls'  boarding-school  has  been  full  and  the  health  of  the  pupils 
very  good.  Their  progress  in  study  is  the  more  marked  as  they  began 
at  the  rudiments,  and  now  nearly  all  can  read  the  Word  of  God  for 
themselves.  Over  thirty  hymns  have  been  committed  to  memory,  as 
well  as  a  child's  Scripture  catechism  and  a  number  of  verses  from 
God's  Word  for  repeating  at  our  family  worship.  In  some  instances, 
the  parents,  especially  those  who  are  Christians,  have  provided 
entirely  or  partially  the  clothing  for  their  children  in  the  school." 
This  school  is  one  of  the  most  promising  parts  of  the  work  at  this 
station. 

Batanga  Station. 

The  year  has  been  one  of  great  blessing  at  this  station.  Fifty-six 
were  baptized  on  confession  of  faith,  and  one  hundred  and  seventy 
are  still  enrolled  as  inquirers.  That  the  people  have  had  "  a  mind  to 
work  "  is  evidenced  by  the  extensive  repairs  made  to  the  church  build- 
ing at  their  own  charges,  and  the  contributing  of  $122  with  which  to 
send  a  Bible-reader  into  the  "  bush,"  besides  liberal  gifts  at  the 
monthly  concert  services.  The  ripeness  of  the  whole  field  along  the 
coast  is  illustrated  by  the  call  which  Mr.  Godduhn  had  to  visit 
Mbenje  and  Bwenje,  towns  near  the  Campo  river.  In  responding  to 
these  calls  Mr.  Godduhn  made  a  very  exhausting  journey  on  foot.  To 
his  joyful  surprise  he  found  on  arriving  at  his  destination  a  house  with 
rude  benches  and  something  answering  the  purpose  of  a  pulpit.  The 
house  was  soon  filled  to  overflowing.  The  secret  of  this  welcome  to 
the  missionary  was  that  a  young  man  who  had  been  baptized  by  Mr. 
DeHeer  some  years  before  had  returned  to  his  home,  telling  of  what 
he  had  seen  and  heard.  The  young  people  became  interested  and 
built  the  house  for  prayer.  They  had  learned 'the  Lord's  Prayer  and 
Catechism,  and  had  told  from  Sabbath  to  Sabbath,  as  well  as  they 
could,  the  story  of  the  Gospel. 

Provision  for  schools  at  this  station  is  lamentably  inadequate. 
There  is  urgent  need  of  a  boarding-school  in  which  the  boys  from  the 
towns  along  the  coast  may  be  gathered  and  trained  for  usefulness.  An 
earnest  plea  is  also  made  for  a  school  for  girls.  Even  the  native  men 
complain  that  their  wives  are  ignorant  and  inefficient.  The  missionary 
here  is  also  greatly  burdened  because  of  lack  of  time  for  instructing 
the  Bible-readers  and  candidates  for  the  ministry.  With  such  a  field, 
white  to  the  harvest,  well-equipped  natives  are  indispensable  if  the 


LIBERIA.  25 

harvest  is  to  be  gathered.  Mrs.  Godduhn  has  done  what  she  could  to 
take  up  the  work  among  the  women  formerly  conducted  by  Mrs.  Brier. 

The  mission  has  recently  assigned  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Gault  to  Batanga 
to  be  associated  with  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Godduhn. 

No  report  has  been  received  from  Corisco,  doubtless  owing  to  the 
fact  that  Rev.  Ibia  K.  Jkenje,  the  native  minister  in  charge,  has  been 
for  some  time  under  arrest  by  the  Spanish  Government  at  Fernando 
Po  for  some  supposed  indignity  to  the  Spanish  authorities.  While 
Ibia  may  have  been  in  some  measure  at  fault,  he  has  by  no  means  lost 
the  confidence  of  the  mission.  Although  forbidden  to  reside  within 
Spanish  territory  for  a  year,  he  is  now  at  Esterias,  where  he  is  in  com- 
munication with  the  Bible-readers  on  Corisco  Island  and  at  Mbike  on 
the  mainland  opposite.  It  is  earnestly  hoped  that  the  way  may  open 
soon  for  his  return  to  the  field  where  for  many  years  he  has  labored 
zealously  and  faithfully. 

The  missionaries  bear  cheerful  testimony  to  the  efficiency  of  Captain 
Menkel,  not  only  in  the  running  of  the  Nassau,  but  also  in  the  super- 
vising of  building  and  repairs.  Mrs.  Menkel  by  her  excellent  spirit 
and  her  deep  interest  in  the  work  has  endeared  herself  to  the  mission- 
aries, and  gained  a  firm  hold  on  the  affections  of  the  natives.

The  work  in  Liberia  presents  one  of  the  most  perplexing  prob- 
lems in  the  missionary  field.     It  lacks  the  large  importance  of  the 


26  LIBERIA. 

general  question  of  missionary  work  in  Africa,  and  it  is  differen- 
tiated from  the  general  question  by  the  special  and  peculiar  condi- 
tions which  mark  the  population  of  Liberia.  The  elements  which 
enter  into  the  problem  are  indefinite,  and  the  way  in  which  they  can 
best  be  handled  is  undetermined.  The  whole  problem  is  an  inter- 
esting one  because  of  the  light  which  it  throws  on  the  future  of  the 
colored  race  ;  but  the  results  which  have  thus  far  been  attained  in 
attempting  to  solve  it  have  been  unsatisfactory. 

The  first  settlement  on  the  Liberian  coast  was  made  in  1821,  by 
eighty-nine  free  blacks  who  sailed  from  New  York.  In  April,  1822, 
a  colony  of  manumitted  slaves  from  the  United  States  was  planted 
by  the  American  Colonization  Society,  which  for  twenty-five  years 
retained  the  supervision  of  them,  until  the  establishment  of  the  re- 
public in  1847.  The  people  have  had  their  own  government  since 
then,  modeled  on  that  of  the  United  States,  having  a  President 
with  his  Cabinet,  a  Senate  and  a  House  of  Representatives.  The 
large  number  of  political  offices  and  the  natural  ambition  of  the 
people  have  not  contributed  to  the  best  missionary  results.  In 
1890  the  population  comprised  about  20,000  civilized  negroes, 
chiefly  of  American  origin,  and  1,050,000  half  wild  natives  gradu- 
ally coming  under  the  influence  of  civilization.  The  government 
has  had  a  large  burden  to  carry  in  the  poverty  and  ignorance  of 
many  of  its  subjects,  even  those  who  have  come  from  the  United 
States.  Many  of  these  colonists,  instead  of  being  missionaries  to 
the  heathen,  became  degraded  themselves,  adopting  the  vices  and 
even  the  superstitions  of  heathenism.  The  principal  native  tribes 
are  the  Veys,  the  Bassos,  the  Kroos,  and  the  Mandingoes.  The 
Veys  are  so  far  remarkable  that,  with  the  exception  of  the  Tauriks, 
they  are  the  only  indigenous  people  in  Africa  who  have  invented  an 
alphabet  for  their  language.  The  hope  that  the  Liberians  would 
evangelize  these  tribes  has  not  been  realized  ;  but,  remembering 
how  disorders  of  various  kinds  have  often  marked  the  beginnings  of 
communities  which  have  subsequently  exercised  important  and 
beneficial  influence,  there  is  no  reason  to  despair  of  Liberia  ;  for, 
while  compared  with  more  civilized  countries  its  present  condition 
is  unfavorable,  it  is  far  superior  to  the  normal  barbarism  of  West 
Africa. 

Among  the  societies  working  in  Liberia  are  the  African  Baptists' 
Foreign  Missionary  Convention,  the  Methodist  Episcopal  Church, 
the  African  Methodist  Episcopal  Church,  the  Free  Methodist 
Church,  the  Protestant  Episcopal  Church,  the  United  Brethren  in 
Christ,  and  our  own  Board.  Some  years  ago  the  policy  of  sending 
white  missionaries  to  Liberia  was  abandoned  by  the  Board,  with  re- 
sults not  wholly  satisfactory,  although  at  the  time  there  was  some- 
thing to  be  said  on  each  side  of  the  question.  The  Board  has  not 
had,  therefore,  in  the  field  during  the  past  year  any  one  who  was  so 
thoroughly  en  rapport  with  its  conditions  and  needs  as  to  keep  it 
accurately  informed  of  the  state  and  progress  of  the  work.  Even 
the  minutes  of  the  last  meeting  of  the  Presbytery  of  Liberia  were 
not  sent  to  the  Board,  and  any  facts  have  had  to  be  gathered  from 


LIBERIA.  27 

the  scattered  reports  of  the  schools  and  churches.  During  the  year 
Mr.  Hilton  was  ordained  by  the  Presbytery,  and  Mr.  Flournoy,  for 
a  gross  offence,  was  suspended.  It  was  with  some  surprise  that  the 
Board  received  a  visit  from  the  Rev.  D.  W.  Frazier  during  the  year. 
He  had  come  from  Greenville,  Liberia,  to  obtain  the  release  of  a 
young  Liberian  imprisoned  in  the  State  of  New  York.  By  remark- 
able energy  and  persistence  he  attained  his  end,  and  went  back  im- 
mediately to  his  work. 

The  schools  have  been  maintained  as  usual,  although  the  policy 
is  not  altogether  an  unquestionable  one,  unless  they  can  receive 
more  supervision  and  be  placed  on  a  satisfactory  basis.  One  or  two 
of  the  schools  have  not  sent  any  reports,  and  this  may  account  for 
the  apparent  decrease  in  the  number  of  pupils.  The  largest  and 
best  school  is  that  taught  by  Alfred  B.  King,  at  Clay-Ashland,  upon 
which,  as  a  foundation,  the  reports  for  some  years  have  spoken  of 
erecting  a  larger  and  better  equipped  establishment,  with  special 
reference  also  to  training  young  men  for  the  ministry.  Seme  of  the 
teachers  show  an  excellent  spirit,  not  alone  teaching  the  children 
ordinary  branches,  but  also  helping  them  spiritually.  Little  sen- 
tences like  this  occur  :  "  There  are  many  in  Glima  brambles  seek- 
ing redemption."  "I  feel  that  I  am  doing  so  little  for  Christ  when 
He  has  done  so  much  for  me."  School  work  is  not  free  from  diffi- 
culties. One  of  the  teachers  writes  that  not  very  much  can  be 
accomplished  in  a  native  town,  because  just  as  soon  as  school  hours 
are  over  the  children  take  up  the  practices  of  their  parents.  There 
seems  to  be  a  general  lack  of  books  also. 

Some  of  the  churches  may  not  have  reported,  but  the  aggregate 
number  of  members,  apparently,  is  larger  than  that  of  last  year.  The 
workers  in  charge  of  the  churches  seem  to  have  been  faithful  with 
one  or  two  exceptions,  but  there  is  not  enough  earnest,  intense,  aggres- 
sive spiritual  power  among  them.  Almost  all  the  letters  from  them 
speak  of  the  ignorance  against  which  they  have  to  contend,  and  be- 
seech the  Board  to  support  and  encourage  them.  Thus  one  writes, 
naively:  "  Presbyterianism  does  not  favor  ignorance;  therefore,  to 
destroy  the  pernicious  effects  of  it,  you  must  maintain  the  vindi- 
cators of  your  mission,  that  our  plants  may  have  depth  of  earth  to 
withstand  the  storm." 

It  is  not  difficult  to  point  out  the  special  needs  of  the  work  in 
Liberia.  The  first  of  them  is  spirituality — not  religiousness,  but 
the  true  Christian  spirit,  unselfishly  dominating  the  whole  life.  The 
second  is  aggressiveness.  The  climate  is  against  it.  It  has  been 
the  general  belief  that  there  is  no  such  element  in  the  character  of 
the  people  ;  but  the  large  increase  of  men  employed  in  the  carrying 
trade  in  Central  Africa  indicates  that  the  African  will  work.  The 
third  need  is  that  the  Christians  of  Liberia  should  set  to  work  earn- 
estly and  vigorously  to  evangelize  the  native  tribes,  and  to  open 
the  way,  if  it  be  possible,  into  the  interior.  Great  good  could  un- 
doubtedly be  done  if  there  should  be  schools  for  the  education  of 
the  children  and  for  the  training  of  young  men  of  an  intense  and 
Christian  character.     It  will  not  do  to  train  these  young  people  in 


28  LIBERIA — CHURCHES,    SCHOOLS. 

this  country;  that  rather  disqualifies  them  for  service  among  their 
own  people.  Much  could  be  done,  doubtless,  also,  if  the  recom- 
mendation in  the  report  of  1890  were  adopted,  and  a  few  qualified 
white  ministers  were  sent  to  Liberia.  It  is  with  this  purpose  in 
mind  that  the  Board  has  recently  appointed  the  Rev.  Robert  Coch- 
ran, of  Harrisburg,  Pa.,  a  missionary  to  Liberia.  There  is  need 
for  renewed  and  earnest  study  of  the  whole  question  of  the  Liberian 
work,  and,  having  assumed  the  responsibility  of  a  share  in  it,  we 
dare  not  be  content  with  anything  less  than  the  fullest  and  most 
intelligent  efforts  for  the  Christianization  of  the  State  and  the 
evangelization  of  the  native  tribes  lying  inland  from  the  coast. 
Rev.  A.  C.  Good,  of  the  Gaboon  and  Corisco  Mission,  has  been 
sent  to  Liberia  to  ascertain  the  condition  of  the  work  and  report  to 
the  Board.  This  report  has  not  been  received  in  time  to  be  incor- 
porated here.

The  health  of  the  missionaries  of  the  Canton  Mission  has  remained 
good  during  the  year,  with  a  few  serious  exceptions.  In  the  month  of 
July,  Rev.  Wellington  White,  while  at  home  on  leave  of  absence,  was 
instantly  killed  by  being  thrown  from  a  carriage  at  Elmira,  N.  Y.  At 
the  same  time  two  children,  one  of  whom  was  a  daughter  of  Mr.  White, 
were  killed,  and  Mrs.  White  was  so  seriously  injured  that  she  has 
been  laid  aside  for  many  months.  This  sad  accident,  produced  by 
collision  with  a  railroad  train,  gave  a  violent  shock  to  the  mission 
circle  in  Canton,  to  the  Board,  and  to  thousands  of  friends  of  missions 
at  home  and  abroad. 

During  the  year  Miss  Hattie  Noyes,  Miss  E.  M.  Butler,  and  Miss 
M.  H.  Fulton,  M.D.,  returned  to  the  United  States  on  leave  of 
absence.  Mr.  and  Mrs.  A.  A.  Fulton  and  family,  and  Miss  M.  W. 
Niles,  M.D.,  returned  after  a  leave  of  absence  to  their  work  in  the 
mission.  Mr.  C.  C.  Jeremiassen  returned  to  his  field  after  a  short 
leave  of  absence,  and  late  in  the  year  Rev.  Alfred  E.  Street  and  Miss 
J.  M.  S.  Suter  were  added  to  the  mission  force  in  Hainan.  Miss  N.  E. 
Hartwell  was  also  received  into  the  Canton  Mission  by  marriage  to 
Rev.  Andrew  Beattie. 

A  new  station  at  Lien  Chow  was  formally  established,  it  having 
been  occupied  by  Dr.  and  Mrs.  E.  C.  Machle,  Rev.  and  Mrs.  W.  H. 
Lingle,  and  Miss  Louise  Johnston.  During  the  year  Rev.  Frank  P. 
Oilman  and  wife,  of  Hainan,  took  up  their  residence  at  Nodoa,  90 
miles  from  Kiung  Chow. 

Although  various  parts  of  China  have  been  more  or  less  disturbed 
by  mob  violence  during  the  year,  the  Canton  Province  has  remained 
tranquil  with  the  exception  of  some  tritling  demonstrations  at  Yeung 
Kong. 

The  mission  received  a  short  visit  from  Dr.  Gillespie,  Secretary  of 
the  Board.

CHINA — CANTON.  3 1 

Churches  of  the  Canton  Mission. 

i.  The  Canton  First  Church  has  been  under  the  care  of  Messrs. 
Noyes  and  Wisner,  its  native  pastor  having  resigned  during  the  year. 
The  chapel  in  which  this  congregation  had  long  worshipped  having 
been  sold,  it  united  with  another  organization,  occupying  its  chapel 
jointly. 

2.  Canton  Second  Church,  Rev.  B.  C.  Henry,  D.D.,  stated  supply. 
This  church  was  organized  in  1872  with  12  members.  It  is  the  focus 
of  various  forms  of  work,  and  gathers  in  the  results  of  schools,  hospital, 
and  general  evangelistic  work  in  a  large  and  important  section  of  the 
city.  The  audiences  have  been  large,  including  pupils  of  the  Girls' 
School  and  patients  from  the  Canton  hospital.  Rev.  Kwan  Loi,  who 
for  some  years  has  been  pastor  of  this  church,  was  removed  to  the  Lien 
Chow  church  in  April.  The  various  religious  services  of  the  week 
have  been  kept  up. 

3.  San-ui  First  Church,  Rev.  J.  C.  Thomson,  M.D.,  stated  supply. 
A  revival  of  religious  interest  is  reported  in  this  church,  especially 
toward  the  latter  part  of  the  year.  The  death  of  Rev.  Wellington 
White  was  particularly  felt  in  this  church  and  community.  Generous 
contributions  have  been  made  for  a  memorial  chapel  to  be  built  at 
this  point  which  shall  serve  as  a  monument  to  the  years  of  faithful 
service  rendered  by  Mr.  White.  Five  baptisms  were  reported  during 
the  year. 

4.  Canton  Third  Church,  Rev.  Dr.  Henry,  stated  supply,  reports 
regular  and  well-attended  services  and  a  good  degree  of  interest.  An 
important  dispensary  work  is  carried  on  in  connection  with  this 
church. 

5.  Chik  Horn  First  Church. — This  organization  was  formed  in  1882 
with  19  members.  A  good  degree  of  interest  is  reported  during 
the  year.  A  faithful  native  elder  who  died  in  June  is  much  lamented 
by  the  congregation.  Eight  additions  have  been  made  and  three  new 
elders  ordained.  The  membership  of  the  church  represents  two  or 
three  outstations. 

6.  Shck  Lung  Church  has  been  under  the  supervision  of  Dr.  Henry. 
Regular  services  have  been  maintained  in  connection  with  this  church. 
The  aggregate  attendance  has  been  good. 

7.  Liu  Po  Church,  which  is  also  under  the  care  of  Dr.  Henry,  has 
shown  a  good  degree  of  activity.  The  services  held  at  two  points 
have  been  well  attended.  At  one  communion  seventy  communicants 
were  in  attendance.  The  fidelity  of  the  church  members  in  striving  to 
win  others  to  Christ  is  commended. 

8.  Lien  Chow  First  Church,  under  the  care  of  Rev.  Kwan  Loi,  has 
maintained  regular  services,  which  at  times  have  been  largely  attended. 
Two  new  elders  have  been  elected.  The  communion  services,  both  at 
Sam  Kong  and  at  Lien  Chow,  have  been  largely  attended.  Outstation 
services  have  been  maintained. 

9.  Yeung  Kong  Church. — Organized  in  1890  by  Rev.  J.  C.  Thom- 
son, with  12  members.  During  the  year  the  interest  has  been 
good,  and  six  adults  and  four  infants  have  been  baptized.     There  is  a 


32  CHINA — CANTON. 

goodly  number  of  inquirers,  about  twenty  of  whom  seem  near  the 
point  of  openly  professing  Christ.     One  elder  has  been  elected. 

10.  Kang  Hau  Church. — This  organization,  formed  in  1890  by  Dr. 
Henry,  began  with  n  members.  This  place  is  in  what  is  known  as 
the  Hakka  District.  During  the  year  the  Board  made  a  grant  of  $800 
for  the  erection  of  mission  buildings  which  shall  supply  at  least  a  tem- 
porary provision  for  this  new  and  interesting  field.  The  Hakkas  are 
regarded  as  among  the  most  hopeful  of  all  the  various  classes  of  popu- 
lation in  the  Canton  Province. 

11.  Tai  Kat  Church. — This  was  organized  by  Dr.  Henry  in  1891. 
Tai  Kat  is  one  of  the  outstations  which  gather  in  church  members 
who  have  removed  from  Canton,  together  with  others  who  have  been 
won  more  or  less  through  their  influence.  Two  elders  have  been 
elected  and  ordained.  There  are  several  applicants  for  baptism. 
Services  are  maintained  at  three  adjacent  points. 

12.  San-ning  First  Church  was  organized  in  1891  by  Dr.  Thom- 
son. Two  elders  were  ordained  by  Messrs.  Noyes  and  Thomson. 
Twenty-three  Christians  united  in  celebration  of  the  Lord's  Supper. 
The  place  is  regarded  as  a  centre  of  excellent  promise,  several  small 
outstations  feeling  its  influence.  The  presence  of  numerous  returned 
Californian  Chinamen  gives  thrift  and  prosperity  to  this  district,  and 
it  is  a  fact  which  should  give  great  encouragement  to  all  who  are 
laboring  for  the  Chinese  in  America  to  know  that  of  eighty  persons 
enrolled  as  followers  of  Christ  in  this  region,  seventy  were  converted 
abroad. 

13.  Fa-ti  Church  in  the  suburb  of  Canton,  and  in  connection  with 
the  Men's  and  Boys'  Training  School,  was  organized  in  1891.  Services 
are  conducted  by  the  missionaries  and  native  teachers  of  the  school. 
At  the  organization  32  were  received,  and  5  joined  on  the  following 
Sabbath. 

It  will  thus  be  seen  that  thirteen  churches  have  been  established  in 
the  Canton  Province,  including  those  of  Canton  City.  These  are 
centres  in  a  vast  population  which  is  mainly  and  almost  exclusively 
the  original  home  of  Chinese  in  this  country.  They  are  so  placed  as 
to  be  able  to  welcome  back  those  who  return  from  the  United  States 
and  other  lands,  where  thousands  of  their  number  have  seen  only 
damaging  misrepresentations  of  Christianity,  but  where,  also,  an  im- 
portant and  influential  class  have  not  only  learned  the  difference  be- 
tween Christian  nations  and  Christianity,  but  have  become  experi- 
mentally the  followers  of  Christ.  This  Province  occupied  by  these 
churches  is  therefore,  in  a  sense,  a  great  battle-ground  of  moral  and 
religious  influence  with  the  evil  prejudice  and  multiform  error  in  our 
day  and  generation.  It  is  a  field  which  should  call  forth  the  earnest 
prayers  of  the  Church  of  every  name  ;  and  it  must  be  a  matter  of  re- 
joicing, that,  although  great  numbers  are  not  reported  as  having  been 
received  into  the  fellowship  of  the  Church,  yet  healthy  progress  is 
seen,  and  for  the  most  part  a  spirit  of  fidelity  and  self-denying  effort 
is  witnessed  in  the  churches.  It  is  a  matter  of  further  encouragement, 
that  the  little  organizations  of  Christian  Chinamen  on  our  own  Pacific 
coast  are  not  only  interested  in,  but  contributors  to,  this  hopeful  work 


CHINA— CANTON.  33 

of  the  Canton  Province  In  addition  to  the  churches  two  chapels  in 
Canton  City  have  been  kept  open  and  supplied  with  regular  preach- 
ing during  the  year.  The  contributions  of  the  year  in  the  thirteen 
churches  have  amounted  to  $363.  There  are  587  pupils  reported  in 
the  Sunday-schools.  The  total  membership  is  814,  a  gain  of  116 
over  last  year. 

Educational   J I  'ork. 

The  Training  and  Boarding-school  for  Men  and  Boys  at  Fa-ti  has 
enjoyed  an  unusual  degree  of  prosperity.  It  has  three  departments 
of  instruction,  embracing  secular  instruction,  but  with  the  constant 
aim  to  develop  Christian  life.  Its  motto  is,  "For  Christ  and  the 
Church."  As  heretofore,  the  institution  has  been  under  the  care  of 
Revs.  H.  V.  Noyes  and  O.  F.  Wisner,  the  former  having  charge  of 
the  Biblical  and  Theological,  the  latter  of  the  Scientific  Department. 
The  total  enrollment  has  been  97,  with  a  constant  attendance  of  80. 
Fifteen  of  the  pupils  in  the  advanced  department  are  theological 
students.  Sabbath  services,  including  preaching,  prayer-meetings, 
Sunday-school,  etc.,  have  been  regularly  maintained.  Forty  of  the 
ninety-seven  pupils  are  communicants ;  twenty-five  more  not  yet 
communicants  have  been  baptized  in  childhood.  Nearly  all  the  out- 
stations  are  represented  in  this  school.  Its  capacity  is  full,  and  further 
applicants  are  necessarily  rejected.  The  school  report  says,  "Some 
time  since,  a  gentleman  gave  us  $100,  to  be  a  nucleus  of  funds  for  an 
industrial  department,  enabling  scholars  in  some  measure  to  become 
self-supporting";  and  it  further  adds,  "The  number  of  missionaries 
must  always  be  limited,  and  the  bulk  of  the  routine  work  and  preach- 
ing must  be  done  by  trained  assistants.  Every  new  outstation,  school, 
and  church  calls  for  assistants,  and  there  must  be  a  new  supply  to  re- 
place those  who  have  finished  their  work  on  earth.  Hence  the  urgent 
necessity  for  enlarging  and  strengthening  the  training-schools  of  the 
mission.  In  view  of  the  blessing  which  has  rested  upon  the  institu- 
tion during  the  year  now  past  and  its  present  hopeful  outlook,  our 
friends  who  support  it  at  home,  as  well  as  those  who  manage  it  here, 
may  thank  God  and  take  courage." 

Day-schools  for  Boys. — Eight  of  these  are  under  the  care  of  Dr. 
Henry,  one  of  which  is  in  Canton  City.  The  others  are  connected 
with  churches  and  outstations  in  the  country.  In  several  instances 
school-houses  are  provided  rent-free  by  generous-hearted  Chinese,  who 
thus  evince  their  interest  in  the  Christian  schools  of  their  neighbor- 
hood. In  these  day-schools  the  total  enrollment  is  180,  and  the  prog- 
ress satisfactory.  Eight  day-schools  have  been  under  the  care  of  Dr. 
J.  C.  Thomson,  with  an  enrollment  of  140.  These,  also,  are  scat- 
tered among  various  stations.  A  number  are  in  those  districts  from 
which  the  Chinese  go  to  California  and  elsewhere;  one  is  supported 
by  a  Chinese  Sunday-school  in  Buffalo,  N.  Y.  ;  another  by  a  Chinese 
class  in  the  First  Presbyterian  Church  of  Bergen,  Jersey  City,  N.  J  ; 
another  is  supported  by  a  lady  in  San  Rafael,  Cal.  Numbers  from 
these  schools  have  come  to  Canton  to  pursue  their  studies  in  the 
training-school.  These  day-schools  in  the  outstations  are  seed-beds 
of  Christian  influence. 


34  CHINA — CANTON. 

The  Canton  Girls'  Seminary  is  well  known  throughout  the  Church. 
It  is  unfortunate  that  its  founder  and  veteran  teacher,  Miss  Hattie 
Noyes,  is  compelled  to  be  absent  on  account  of  impaired  health. 
Miss  Butler  has  also  been  obliged  to  ask  leave  of  absence.  Miss 
Hattie  Lewis  has  been  left,  therefore,  in  responsible  charge  of  the 
institution,  but  fortunately  the  work  of  past  years  has  largely  supplied 
the  needs  of  the  school  in  this  emergency.  Six  well-trained  Chinese 
Christian  teachers  have  shown  faithfulness  and  ability  in  maintaining 
the  course  of  instruction,  and  the  general  prosperity  of  the  school. 
A  seventh  teacher  also  labored  faithfully  during  three  months  of  the 
year.  The  number  of  pupils  enrolled  during  the  year,  exclusive  of 
the  medical  ciass,  was  142.  The  medical  women  and  girls  were  trans- 
ferred to  the  medical  school  department  of  the  hospital  in  November. 

The  instruction  in  this  girls'  school  is,  to  a  large  extent,  religious. 
The  text-books  are  the  Bible  and  the  various  books  explaining  the 
Scriptures,  or  bearing  upon  religious  life,  and  are  graded  from  the 
simplest  primers  up  to  Church  History  and  the  evidences  of  Chris- 
tianity. The  more  advanced  pupils  are  taught  to  write  abstracts  of 
the  Sabbath  morning  sermons.  Western  science  is  taught  to  a  limited 
extent,  also  more  or  less  of  the  Chinese  Classics.  There  is  a  class  in 
instrumental  and  vocal  music.  Moreover,  all  are  taught  to  join  in 
singing.  A  Monday  evening  prayer-meeting  is  attended  and  con- 
ducted by  pupils  in  the  institution.  On  Tuesdays  there  is  a  more 
general  prayer-meeting.  The  school  missionary  society,  which  meets 
once  a  month,  employs  a  Bible-reader  and  a  tract  distributor ;  and  a 
sewing  circle  makes  garments  for  the  needy.  During  the  year  13  of 
the  pupils  have  been  received  into  the  Church.  The  total  number 
who  have  been  hopefully  converted  in  this  school  and  have  joined  the 
Church  from  the  first  is  168.  At  the  quarterly  communion  seasons  of 
the  Second  Church  various  Bible-readers  who  have  been  trained  in 
this  school  and  are  now  employed  in  outstations,  are  accustomed  to 
meet  and  bring  in  their  reports  of  encouragements  or  discouragements 
in  their  work.  Jt  is  difficult  to  accommodate  all  who  come  in  at  these 
times,  as  they  are  accompanied  by  inquirers  seeking  instruction. 
"When,"  says  the  school  report,  "are  we  to  have  the  funds  for  the 
needed  expansion  of  our  work?" 

Girls'  Day-Schools. — Twelve  of  these  are  under  the  care  of  Miss 
Lewis,  mostly  in  and  around  Canton.  They  are  regularly  visited  each 
week,  and  examined  upon  Christian  lessons  which  have  been  studied. 
At  such  visits  a  service  is  held  for  the  school  and  the  women  who 
gather  from  the  neighborhood.  It  is  to  be  regretted  that,  although 
these  pupils  receive  many  truths  of  the  Gospel,  yet  the  fact  that  they 
live  in  heathen  homes  is  a  barrier  in  most  cases  against  an  open  pro- 
fession. Mrs.  Dr.  Kerr,  Mrs.  Noyes,  and  Mrs.  Henry  have  girls' 
schools  under  their  care,  in  which  regular  instruction  is  given.  The 
total  number  in  these  schools  is  370. 

The  Orphanage,  under  the  care  of  Mrs.  Henry,  has  this  year  re- 
ceived four  additional  waifs,  one  of  whom  died  in  spite  of  excellent 
care.  There  are  now  sixteen  girls,  the  two  eldest  studying  medicine 
under  Dr.  Niles,  and  nine  of  them  are  in  the  Canton  Seminary,  where 


CHINA — CANTON.  35 

one  of  them  acts  as  assistant  teacher  and  gives  much    satisfaction. 
Six  of  the  number  are  members  of  the  church. 

Literary  Work. 

Dr.  Henry  has  finished  the  translation  of  the  book  of  Daniel  into 
Cantonese.  He  is  also  far  advanced  in  the  translation  of  Isaiah. 
Mr.  Wisner  has  prepared  a  volume  of  sermons,  selected  from  those 
preached  by  members  of  the  mission  during  the  year.  An  edition  of 
200  will  be  printed  and  distributed  among  the  native  helpers. 

Hospital  and  Medical  Work. 

The  work  at  the  hospital  has  been  conducted  under  the  direction 
of  Drs.  Kerr  and  Swan.  During  the  first  half  of  the  year  Dr.  Mary 
Fulton  assisted  in  the  women's  department,  and  Dr.  Mary  W.  Niles 
assumed  charge  on  her  return  from  the  United  States  in  September. 
Two  thoroughly-trained  medical  assistants  have  been  able  to  dis- 
charge a  large  part  of  the  routine  duties  in  this  institution,  and  an 
efficient  female  assistant,  though  still  a  student,  has  rendered  valuable 
help.  Dr.  Kerr  has  been  obliged,  on  account  of  impaired  health,  to 
be  absent  from  his  post  for  some  time,  and  has  at  length  sought  a 
leave  of  absence  for  a  year  in  the  United  States.  Important  surgical 
operations  have  been  performed  by  Drs.  Kerr,  Swan,  and  Niles,  and 
many  minor  operations  by  the  medical  assistants.  The  reported  list 
of  22,452  out-patients,  1,269  in-patients,  and  about  2,200  surgical 
operations  will  convey  some  idea  of  the  extent  of  this  benevolent 
and  Christlike  work.  The  influence  of  Medical  Missions  carried  on 
in  the  name  and  in  the  spirit  of  Christ  becomes  continually  more  and 
more  manifest,  as  leavening  heathen  communities  with  favorable  im- 
pressions, and  a  corresponding  readiness  to  receive  Christianity  with 
all  the  munificent  and  blessed  influences  which  attend  it. 

Evangelistic  work  among  the  patients  was  carried  on  during  the 
year  by  Rev.  Kwan  Loi,  while  pastor  of  the  Second  Church,  and  by 
a  Chinese  evangelist,  Mr.  Sz  To  Nam  Tat.  Among  other  services, 
daily  morning  and  evening  prayers  were  maintained,  and  preaching 
services  on  the  Sabbath  about  half  the  time.  Dr.  Henry  has  preached 
in  the  hospital  chapel,  and  conducted  morning  prayers  when  his  other 
engagements  admitted.  The  patients  are  gathered  into  classes  on 
Sunday  mornings,  and  religious  instruction  is  given  by  the  physicians 
and  members  of  the  church.  The  patients  are  visited  in  the  wards 
by  native  evangelists,  the  physicians  also  taking  part  in  this  work. 
Christian  books  are  kept  in  the  wards  for  those  who  can  read. 
Many  of  the  patients  have  their  own  attendants,  and  the  aim  is  to 
give  these,  as  well  as  the  patients,  as  much  knowledge  of  the  Gospel 
as  possible.  Mr.  Wong,  the  blind  colporteur,  has  gone  daily  from 
ward  to  ward  instructing  the  patients,  but  in  December  he  was  called 
to  his  rest.  Four  men  and  eight  women  have  been  received  into  the 
church  from  the  hospital.  During  the  year  Dr.  Swan  has  sent  out  to 
the  missionary  in  charge  of  country  work  over  one  thousand  names 
and  addresses  of  patients  who  have  been  in  the  hospital,  that  they 


36  CHINA — CANTON. 

might  continue  to  be  the  objects  of  religious  influence.  A  native 
colporteur  has  also  been  furnished  with  a  duplicate  of  this  list,  and 
has  made  thirteen  trips  in  the  province,  visiting  them  in  their  homes. 
He  has  been  well  received,  and  of  three  hundred  and  ninety  thus 
visited,  forty-two  have  shown  special  interest  in  the  truth.  Another 
colporteur  has  been  doing  the  same  kind  of  work  in  and  around  the 
city. 

A  hospital  school  has  been  maintained  without  interruption  and 
with  good  success.  The  largest  attendance  at  any  one  time  was 
forty,  and  the  least  twenty-eight.  A  number  of  the  pupils  have 
entered  the  training-schools.  Through  this  school  Christian  instruc- 
tion, in  the  form  of  books,  has  been  sent  into  nearly  two  hundred 
families. 

Two  Bible-women  have  been  faithfully  at  work  in  the  hospital 
wards.  Another  Bible-woman,  supported  by  the  Long  Run  Church, 
has  been  working  in  the  wards,  and  has  paid  particular  attention  to 
out-patients. 

A  medical  class  has  been  conducted  by  Dr.  Leung  Kin  Cho,  a 
former  graduate.  The  class  numbers  ten  young  men  and  seven 
young  women.  Lectures  have  been  given  by  Drs.  Kerr,  Niles,  and 
Fulton,  also  Messrs.  Ho  and  Wan.  Dr.  Wan  has  translated  into 
Chinese  Bruce's  "Therapeutics,"  Semple's  "Pathology  and  Morbid 
Anatomy,"  and  is  now  working  at  Powell's  "  Diseases  of  Children." 

The  dispensary  work  at  Sz  Pai  Lau,  on  the  premises  of  the  Third 
Church,  has  been  carried  on  by  Dr.  Fulton,  and  later  in  the  year  by 
Dr.  Niles.  The  Fa-ti  dispensary  has  been  conducted  by  the  same 
physicians  and  assistants.  Evangelistic  work  is  maintained,  as  far  as 
possible,  at  both  these  points. 

Ontstations. 

Eleven  of  these  are  under  the  care  of  Dr.  Henry,  namely  : 

Sha-ho. — Six  miles  east  of  Canton,  opened  in  1880.  There  is 
regular  preaching  on  market  days,  which  occur  two  or  three  times  a 
week,  and  considerable  itinerating  is  done  in  the  district. 

Tai-kat. — Thirty  miles  north  of  Canton,  opened  in  1887.  The 
chief  event  of  the  year  has  been  the  organization  of  the  Tai-kat 
Church,  the  result  of  four  years'  work  in  the  neighborhood.  Scores 
of  neighboring  villages  are  reached  from  this  point. 

Ching-to-ling. — Fifteen  miles  north  of  Tai-kat,  opened  1891.  The 
work  here  centres  about  an  interesting  school,  whose  teacher  is  a 
graduate. 

Ngo-tau. — Thirty  miles  north  of  Tai-kat,  opened  in  1889.  The 
chapel  and  school  constitute  an  interesting  centre.  A  widespread 
community  is  reached. 

Shek-lung. — Sixty  miles  east  of  Canton,  opened  in  1880.  This  is  a 
hard  field,  the  people  being  given  wholly  to  idolatry.  The  assistant, 
however,  visits  the  people  in  their  villages,  and  is  faithful  and  per- 
sistent. The  chapel  is  kept  open.  One  woman,  the  wife  of  a  man 
who  has  long  suffered  persecution,  has  been  baptized,  together  with 
her  son. 


CHINA — CANTON.  37 

Sam-Kong. — Eight  miles  east  of  Shek-lung.  Sixteen  Christians 
reside  here.  Regular  services  have  been  maintained.  Three  have 
been  received  into  the  church. 

Wong-un. — Twenty  miles  northeast  of  Shek-lung,  opened  in  1889. 
The  school  at  this  point  having  been  broken  up  by  evil-minded  per- 
sons, the  teacher  is  engaged  in  itineration,  visiting  many  villages. 
Four  persons  have  been  baptized. 

Liu-po. — Seventy  miles  east  of  Canton,  opened  in  1880.  Here  are 
the  Liu-po  Church  and  Chapel,  and  a  school  for  girls  and  one  for  boys. 
Faithful  work  has  been  done  by  the  native  preacher  and  a  Bible- 
woman  in  the  surrounding  villages.  Daily  evening  services  are  held. 
Eight  persons  have  been  received  into  the  church. 

Tai-long. — Six  miles  from  Liu-po,  opened  in  1882.  Regular  visits 
have  been  made  to  this  place,  and  services  have  been  held  at  the 
homes  of  Christians. 

Ap-chi-ling. — Twelve  miles  from  Liu-po,  opened  in  1889.  The 
work  is  very  encouraging,  the  truth  having  spread  into  six  or  seven 
neighboring  villages,  in  each  of  which  Christians  may  now  be  found. 
The  people  are  erecting  a  building  for  chapel  and  school-house  with- 
out any  pecuniary  help  from  the  Board.  Eight  of  the  members 
received  into  the  Liu-po  Church  are  the  fruit  of  the  work  at  this  place. 
The  people  are  very  poor,  but  hopeful  and  devoted. 

Kang-hau. — On  the  lower  section  of  the  Lien  Chow  River,  210 
miles  by  water  from  Canton,  opened  in  1888.  In  connection  with 
the  work  at  this  point,  there  are  the  chapel  and  school  at  Kang-hau, 
and  the  school  at  Shui-sam-pa.  The  work  here,  which  is  among  the 
Hakkas,  is  full  of  interest  and  encouragement.  The  native  assistant 
and  colporteur  have  faithfully  visited  many  villages,  finding  a  favor- 
able reception.  From  several  places  requests  have  been  sent  for 
schools,  with  offers  of  buildings  rent  free.  Eight  hopeful  converts 
have  been  received  into  the  church.  The  number  of  earnest  inquirers 
is  increasing,  and  the  circle  of  Christian  influence  constantly  widening. 

Nine  outstations  have  been  under  the  care  of  Rev.  J.  C.  Thom- 
son, M.D. 

San-ui  City. — Eighty  miles  southwest  of  Canton  ;  work  begun  in 
1S71  with  a  boys'  school,  followed  by  a  chapel  in  1872.  The  Tai-chak 
school  has  been  carried  on  successfully. 

Chik-hom. — One  hundred  and  fifteen  miles  southwest  from  Canton, 
opened  in  1877.  The  interest  is  increasing,  with  opening  oppor- 
tunities for  substations  and  schools. 

Chung- lau. — One  hundred  and  forty-five  miles  southwest  of  Canton, 
opened  in  1880.  The  evangelistic  opportunities  are  good.  The  recent 
establishment  of  the  San-ning  Church,  with  an  elder  from  this  point,  is 
an  auspicious  indication.  The  surrounding  field  is  populous  and 
prosperous. 

JSio-fu. — One  hundred  and  forty-five  miles  southwest  from  Canton, 
opened  in  1880.  The  receptiveness  of  the  people  at  this  point  is 
marked.  Arrangements  have  been  made  for  a  Christian  school.  A 
newly-elected  elder  resides  at  this  place. 

San-cheung-fau. — One    hundred    and    five     miles    southwest    from 


38  CHINA — CANTON. 

Canton,  opened  in  1S84.  A  number  of  Christians  reside  at  this  place, 
among  whom  is  an  elder  of  one  of  the  churches.  Christians  of  all 
denominations  are  constantly  passing  this  point. 

Lo-kwan-f ong. — In  the  Yan-ping  district,  12  miles  from  Chik-hom 
(which  is  115  miles  southwest  from  Canton),  work  begun  1887.  Here 
resides  "  the  faithful  basket-maker,"  who  was  this  year  ordained  elder 
of  the  Chik-hom  Church.  His  name  and  character  are  widely  known. 
One  member  was  received  into  the  church.  The  school  has  been 
prosperous. 

San-ning  City. — The  largest  walled  city  in  a  populous  district  of  the 
same  name,  about  140  miles  southwest  of  Canton.  The  chapel  was 
opened  in  1888.  The  preacher  of  this  church  was  sent  in  August  to 
assist  in  the  Chinese  work  in  California,  but  was  sent  back  from 
Yokohama  by  the  United  States  Consul  on  the  ground  that  he  would 
be  regarded  as  only  a  laborer,  and  therefore  could  not  be  permitted  to 
enter  the  United  States.  In  his  absence  a  volunteer  has  done  a  good 
work  without  compensation. 

Ku-tsing, — The  chapel  built  at  this  point  has  centralized  the  work 
of  the  district.  It  was  erected  by  the  subscriptions  of  Chinese  Chris- 
tians in  America,  and  services  have  been  maintained  by  an  elder  of  the 
San-ui  Church.  Six  have  been  received  by  baptism  and  certificate 
into  the  San-ui  Church  from  this  place.  There  is  an  earnest  call  for 
an  extension  of  the  work  in  this  promising  district. 

Macao. —  Since  1884  good  work  has  been  done  in  the  chapel  and 
schools  at  this  place.  The  Sunday  services  have  been  well  attended 
throughout  the  year.  Work  from  house  to  house  has  been  done  by 
missionary  ladies  and  a  Bible-woman.  Two  natives  from  this  place 
have  been  enrolled  in  the  San-ui  Church. 

Yeung  Kong  and  Mui-luk,  under  the  care  of  Messrs.  Thomson, 
Beattie,  and  Colman.  These  places,  situated  in  the  southwestern  part 
of  the  province,  were  opened  (Yeung  Kong)  in  1886  and  (Mui-luk) 
1888.  In  July  there  were  serious  threatenings  of  disturbance ;  placards 
urging  expulsion  were  posted  up,  but  the  difficulty  gradually  subsided. 
Four  adults  were  received  in  April  into  the  Yeung  Kong  Church,  and 
two  others  in  December.  The  native  minister,  Rev.  U.  Sik-kau,  for- 
merly pastor  of  the  First  Presbyterian  Church  of  Canton,  has 
been  stationed  at  Mui-luk,  where  he  has  been  well  received.  Dur- 
ing the  year  a  "plague"  broke  out  in  Mui-luk,  where  two  or  three 
thousand  persons  died.  The  medical  work  carried  on  through  native 
assistants  under  the  direction  of  Dr.  Thomson  embraced  16,587 
patients.  Mr.  Beattie  has  fitted  up  comfortable  headquarters  for 
mission  work  at  Yeung  Kong,  and  through  the  liberality  of  a 
friend  in  Morristown,  N.  J.,  has  also  opened  a  reading-room.  Dr. 
Thomson  has  had  the  happiness  of  baptizing  a  native  friend  of 
whom  he  was  a  guest  some  years  since,  and  through  whom  several 
neighbors  have  received  the  truth.  The  prospects  of  work  in  Yeung 
Kong  are  good.  The  greater  accessibility  of  the  southwest  field  is 
specially  noted  by  the  mission,  on  account  of  the  opening  up  of  lines 
of  steam  launches  from  Hong  Kong  and  Macao. 

Since  Mr.    Fulton's  return   to   China  he  has  been  busy  with  his 


CHINA — LIEN   CHOW.  39 

"  floating  chapel  and  dispensary,"  in  which,  with  a  full  force  of  assist- 
ants, he  can  go  from  place  to  place  along  the  rivers.  Especially  in 
the  region  of  San  Cheung-fau  has  his  work  been  satisfactory. 

In  a  little  more  than  two  months  he  and  his  assistants  have  preached 
in  a  hundred  villages,  and  had  1,500  applicants  for  medical  aid.  These 
also  heard  the  Gospel  and  received  tracts  on  the  boat.  The  expenses 
of  the  boat  and  preachers'  salaries  are  met  by  Young  People's  So- 
cieties of  Christian  Endeavor  in  America. 

Lien  Chow  Station. 

The  full  occupation  of  the  Lien  Chow  Station  is  a  matter  of  much 
satisfaction  and  gratitude.  The  work  connected  with  this  station  has 
been  already  referred  to  among  the  different  departments  named 
above,  but  special  reference  to  the  general  interests  and  outlook  of 
the  station  seems  called  for.  Dr.  and  Mrs.  Machle,  and  Miss  John- 
ston assumed  occupation  of  the  new  buildings  which  had  been  pre- 
pared at  Sam  Kong,  ten  miles  from  Lien  Chow,  early  in  May.  For- 
tunately, Mrs.  Machle's  health,  which  had  been  precarious,  has  im- 
proved in  her  new  residence.  Their  work  has  been  unmolested.  At 
the  end  of  October  they  were  joined  by  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Lingle,  whose 
accession  to  the  force  created  no  apparent  hostility.  The  efforts  and 
desires  of  years  have  thus  been  crowned  with  success,  though  an  ear- 
lier occupation  of  Lien  Chow  was  violently  resisted.  This  is  the  more 
remarkable,  as  Sam  Kong  lies  very  near  the  border  of  the  Province 
of  Hunan,  which  during  the  year  has  been  so  violently  disturbed. 
"While  the  hostile  gentry  and  officials  have  been  guarding  the  front 
entrance  toward  the  Yang-tsze,  we  have  quietly  entered  by  the  back 
entrance  over  the  hills  of  Lien  Chow,  and  found  a  favorable  recep- 
tion amongst  the  people,  and  believe  that  a  most  important  work  is 
to  be  done  in  this  direction  for  the  evangelization  of  Hunan."  More- 
over, the  Ius,  who  inhabit  the  mountain  districts  on  the  borders  of 
Kwangtung,  Kwangsai,  and  Hunan  Provinces,  are  within  easy  reach. 
These  people  are  a  section  of  the  aboriginal  race  whose  scattered 
tribes  in  great  numbers  inhabit  the  mountain  regions  of  Southern 
China.  Their  proximity  to  and  constant  attendance  at  the  Sam  Kong 
market,  where  large  numbers  of  them  are  always  found,  gives  them  a 
peculiar  claim  upon  the  mission.  Some  interest  has  already  been 
awakened  among  them.  Many  of  them  have  been  treated  in  the 
hospital,  and  numbers  of  invitations  have  been  received  by  Dr.  Machle 
to  visit  their  mountain  villages.  One  cannot  avoid  asking  with  deep 
concern,  When  will  the  Canton  Mission  be  strong  enough  in  men  and 
in  means  to  enter  this  wide-open  door?  As  a  rule,  well  established 
in  missionary  history,  mountaineer  tribes  of  aborigines  found  in  the 
great  mission  fields  where  Confucianism,  Buddhism,  or  Hinduism  have 
for  ages  borne  sway,  stiffening  and  strengthening  the  forces  of  resist- 
ance, have  constituted  most  favorable  exceptions.  Their  religious 
beliefs  and  customs  have  been  found  far  less  invincible  ;  and  as  the 
Santhals,  Bhils,  and  Khols  of  India  are  more  impressible  than  Hindus, 
and   the   Karens  of  Bunnah   more  easily  reached  than  their  Buddhist 


4<D  CHINA — LIEN   CHOW. 

fellow-countrymen,  so  there  is  reason  to  believe  that  these  simple  abo- 
rigines of  China  may  be  more  easily  won  than  those  who  have  been 
strengthened  by  generations  of  Confucian  ethics  and  the  self-right- 
eousness of  ancestral  worship. 

A  chapel  was  opened  at  Lien  Chow  in  1879.  The  attendance  has 
generally  been  large.  Seven  persons  have  been  received  into  the 
Church  during  the  year.  At  Sam  Kong,  a  chapel  was  opened  in  1886. 
Besides  preaching  on  the  Sabbath  and  on  market  days,  there  has  been 
a  meeting  for  Bible  study  every  evening  under  the  direction  of  the 
native  pastor,  Rev.  Kwan  Loi.  Day-schools  have  been  opened  at 
Lung-hau  (1889)  with  18  pupils,  and  at  Kong-wa  (1891)  with  20 
pupils.  At  Sam  Kong  there  has  been  a  quarterly  class  for  the  in- 
struction of  Christians,  with  an  attendance  of  20.  This  nurture  and 
strengthening  of  Christians  is  especially  hopeful,  imparting  not  only 
character,  but  qualification  for  work.  Every  Sabbath  morning  during 
the  month  some  of  these  have  gone  out  in  little  companies  to  labor 
in  the  neighboring  villages  and  tell  others  of  the  Saviour  they  have 
found. 

Miss  Johnston  has  conducted  a  school  at  Sam  Kong  at  her  own 
expense,  assisted  by  a  native  teacher,  one  of  the  elders  of  the  Lien 
Chow  Church. 

Hospital  and  Medical  Work. 

A  hospital  and  dispensary  has  been  opened  by  Dr.  Machle.  The 
building  for  these  purposes,  which  is  in  process  of  erection,  is  a  part  of 
the  lower  floor  of  the  building  in  which  the  missionaries  reside. 
There  have  been  2,000  out-patients  and  48  in-patients  treated  ;  58  vis- 
its have  been  made  at  homes ;  160  surgical  operations  have  been  per- 
formed. The  2,000  out-patients  represent  seventy  villages,  five  of 
which  are  among  the  Ius.  The  truth  has  been  made  known  to  all  in- 
patients who  were  able  to  hear.  A  graduate  of  the  Medical  School 
in  Canton  Hospital  is  now  assisting  Dr.  Machle. 

Outstations. 

Four  outstations  are  connected  with  Lien  Chow. 

1.  Lung-hau,  between  Lien  Chow  and  Sam  Kong,  opened  in  1887. 
The  place  is  visited  regularly  by  a  native  pastor  and  assistant  from 
Lien  Chow. 

2.  Kong-wa,  in  Hunan  Province,  opened  in  1S87.  Mr.  Lau  Luk- 
ting,  a  native  of  this  place,  returned  to  his  home  after  a  course  of 
study  in  Canton.  He  opened  a  school,  which  was  well  attended  until 
hostility  was  manifested.  Assistants  have  visited  different  parts  of  the 
district,  preaching  and  selling  tracts. 

3.  Lam-moy  also  in  Hunan  Province,  opened  in  1889.  There  has 
been  much  interest  at  this  point,  large  numbers  having  been  favorably 
impressed.  Pour  have  been  baptized,  and  others  are  applicants  for 
baptism.  This  place  has  been  visited  by  Rev.  Kwan  Loi  and  assistant, 
Mr.  Tang  Tak  On.  Services  have  been  held  in  the  house  of  one  of 
the  members. 


CHINA — HAINAN,   KIUNG   CHOW.  41 

4.  Kang  T'an  Ping,  being  12  miles  below  Lien  Chow,  on  the  river. 
Arrangements  have  been  made  for  opening  a  school.  A  Bible-woman, 
under  the  care  of  Miss  Johnston,  has  been  active  in  the  work  at  Sam 
Kong  and  the  neighboring  villages. 

Hainan  Station, 

The  great  island  of  Hainan  is  as  yet  occupied  by  no  other  mission 
but  that  of  the  Presbyterian  Board.  It  numbers  a  million  and  a  half 
of  inhabitants.  Those  among  whom  our  missionaries  have  labored 
are  mostly  of  the  Hakka  race,  and  have  been  found  unusually  receptive. 
The  work  in  this  island  was  begun  in  1881  by  Mr.  C.  C.  Jeremiassen 
as  an  independent  missionary.  In  1885  he  joined  the  Canton  Mission, 
with  which  his  work  was  from  that  time  incorporated.  The  present 
force  consists  of  Mr.  Jeremiassen,  Dr.  and  Mrs.  H.  M.  McCandliss, 
Revs.  Frank  P.  Oilman  and  J.  C.  Melrose  and  their  wives.  As  be- 
fore stated,  in  the  latter  part  of  the  year  this  force  was  augmented  by 
Rev.  A.  E.  Street  and  Miss  J.  M.  S.  Suter.  Seven  native  assistants 
are  employed.  The  island  is  entered  by  the  harbor  of  Hoi  How,  at 
a  point  nearest  to  the  mainland  of  China.  Three  miles  from  this  city 
is  Kiung  Chow,  the  principal  station  of  Hainan.  Ninety  miles  in  the 
interior  is  Nodoa,  which  is  now  virtually  a  station,  and  is  occupied  by 
Rev.  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Gilman,  although  it  has  not  been  formally  opened 
as  a  separate  station.  Permanent  accommodations  have  been  pur- 
chased and  built  at  Nodoa  for  the  residence  of  a  missionary  and  for  a 
school. 

During  the  year  there  have  been  some  rumors  of  disturbance,  but 
no  open  demonstrations  except  some  slight  interference  with  the 
school  work  at  Kiung  Chow.  The  missionaries  have,  on  the  whole, 
enjoyed  good  health,  though  Dr.  McCandliss  in  the  latter  part  of  the 
year  suffered  from  an  attack  of  pneumonia,  from  which,  however,  he 
is  recovered. 

Three  chapels  are  opened,  namely,  at  Kiung  Chow,  Nodoa,  and 
Nan  Fung.  At  Kiung  Chow  and  Nodoa  are  mission  schools,  and  at 
Kiung  Chow  is  located  the  station  hospital  and  dispensary,  carried  on 
by  Dr.  McCandliss. 

Through  special  gifts  of  friends  of  the  Hainan  Station  a  small  press 
has  been  secured  and  paid  for,  together  with  the  necessary  type  for 
printing  the  Romanized  Hainanese.  The  Gospels  and  some  other 
translations  are  now  ready  to  be  printed. 

Kiung  Chow* 

In  speaking  of  the  work  at  Kiung  Chow,  the  mission  report  says  : 
"The  continuous  efforts  made  for  some  years  past  to  rent  a  larger 
and  drier  place  for  hospital  and  chapel  are  now,  at  the  close  of  the 
year,  about  to  be  successful.  The  in  patents  have,  for  the  most  part, 
occupied  the  hall,  back  of  the  chapel,  as  the  two  wards  in  the  rear 
were  too  damp  for  any  but  moribund  cases.  There  has  been  very 
little  dry  weather  during  the  year,  the  rainfalls  in  August  and  September 
being  excessive.     In  the  absence  of  any  native  helper  that  could  preach 


42  CHINA — NODOA. 

in  Hainanese,  the  religious  services  were  left  almost  entirely  to  the 
physician  in  charge."  The  Sabbath  services  have  been  maintained 
during  the  year,  and  during  a  large  part  ot  the  year  the  regular  Tues- 
day and  Thursday  morning  services  have  been  held. 

Medical   Work. 

The  dispensary  was  open  daily,  and  at  the  time  of  the  doctor's 
itinerations  in  the  country  the  work  was  carried  on  by  native  assistants. 
The  violent  excitement  has  had  its  effect  upon  the  medical  as  well  as 
on  the  other  work.  Except  in  cases  of  poverty,  all  medicines  to  be 
taken  home  are  charged  for  at  cost  price,  but  in  such  a  manner  as  not 
to  destroy  the  missionary  character  of  the  hospital.  This  has  not 
caused  any  falling  off  in  the  attendance.  During  the  trips  in  the 
country  the  physician  in  charge  attended  to  665  applications  for  relief. 
The  whole  number  of  out-patients  at  the  hospital  have  been  8,575  ; 
visited  in  country,  as  above,  665  ;  in-patients,  120  ;  surgical  operations 
of  all  kinds,  645.  The  hospital  has  received  from  sources  other  than 
the  mission  treasury  the  sum  of  $360  (Mexican). 

Schools. 

In  answer  to  an  urgent  need  for  work  among  the  women  at  Kiung 
Chow,  the  Kiung  Chow  Girls  School  was  opened  in  February  by 
Mrs.  McCandliss.  About  ten  women  and  ten  girls  have  made  rapid 
progress.  The  school  has  been  a  centre  for  religious  work,  with  daily 
services  by  the  missionary  in  charge.  Many  of  the  women  have  visited 
the  school  and  shown  much  interest.  As  soon  as  women  teachers  can 
be  trained  for  their  work  in  Hainanese  other  such  schools  should  be 
opened.  The  teaching  of  women  and  girls  in  Hainan  is  a  new  thing, 
and  some  hostility  has  been  created. 

The  Boys  School  at  Kiung  Chow  was  opened  in  April  by  Mr. 
Melrose.  There  is  great  need  of  teachers  trained  up  in  the  use  of  the 
Hainanese  language.  Those  who  only  know  the  Cantonese  cannot 
meet  the  want.     The  work  done  thus  far  has  been  very  satisfactory. 

Nodoa. 

Nodoa  was  opened  by  Mr.  Jeremiassen  in  1882.  To  reach  this 
place  from  Kiung  Chow  occupies  nearly  four  days.  The  interest 
manifest  at  this  point  at  first  has  somewhat  subsided,  but  it  is  hoped 
that  the  reaction  will  be  only  temporary. 

A  boarding-school  has  been  established  at  Nodoa,  and  though  small 
it  has  made  good  progress.  One  of  the  advanced  students  has  be- 
come a  promising  native  assistant. 

A  medical  work  has  been  carried  on  under  Mr.  Gilman's  direction. 
Over  2,000  applicants  asked  for  medical  relief. 

"In  June  Mr.  Oilman  made  a  journey  into  the  Loi  country  ad- 
jacent to  Nodoa,  where  he  learned  that  the  aborigines  are  religiously 
in  a  transition  stage,  having  forsaken  their  primitive  worship,  and 
partly  adopted  the  idol  worship  of  the  neighboring  Chinese.  This 
peculiar  condition   seems  like  a  providential  call  on  our  mission  to 


CHINA — CANTON   STATISTICS.  43 

give  them  the  Gospel,  and  the  station  is  taking  steps  to  give  them  the 
Scriptures,  and  to  send  Mr.  Jeremiassen,  with  Christian  helpers,  to 
teach  them  how  to  read  and  understand  God's  Word." 

It  is  impossible  to  give  too  great  emphasis  to  this  providential  call 
upon  the  Presbyterian  Church.  It  is  entrusted  with  the  only  mission 
in  the  great  island  of  Hainan.  In  the  centre  of  the  island  there  is  a 
numerous  population  of  stalwart  mountaineers,  the  Lois,  who  are 
abandoning  their  simple  superstitious  faith,  and  seem  ready  to 
receive  either  the  Chinese  religions — a  mixture  of  Confucianism, 
Buddhism,  and  Taouism — or,  on  the  other  hand,  to  receive  the  simple 
Gospel  of  Jesus  Christ.  Are  there  not  thousands  whose  missionary 
interest  will  be  quick  to  realize  the  force  of  this  call,  and  come  for- 
ward with  means  and  influence  sufficient  to  supply  this  pressing  need — 
nay,  to  embrace  joyfully  this  auspicious  opportunity  ? 

The  preacher  and  other  assistants  at  Nodoa  have  made  frequent 
journeys  to  the  near  towns  and  villages,  and  have  found  many  willing 
listeners.  Two  of  the  assistants  have  itinerated  through  eight  of  the 
thirteen  districts  of  the  island. 

The  Christians  of  Nodoa,  feeling  the  need  of  a  bell  for  their  chapel, 
subscribed  liberally  for  that  purpose,  and  with  the  aid  of  friends  in 
Western  New  York  they  will  soon  have  a  suitable  bell  to  call  them  to 
the  house  of  God. 

Nam-fung  is  an  outstation  about  ten  miles  south  of  Nodoa.  It  is 
the  very  outpost  of  our  work  thus  far.  Work  has  been  carried  on  by 
a  native  preacher  who  has  itinerated  in  the  surrounding  district.  The 
town  is  on  the  outskirts  of  the  Loi  country,  and  is  visited  by  the  Lois 
in  great  numbers. 

Early  in  the  year  Mr.  Jeremiassen  made  some  tours  in  the  north- 
eastern part  of  the  island.  He  had  previously  visited  the  same  region 
in  1 88 1,  and  he  now  found  that  his  early  visit  had  been  remembered, 
and  also  the  brief  message  of  life  which,  with  his  then  imperfect 
knowledge  of  the  language,  he  was  able  to  proclaim.  On  this  journey 
he  treated  1^500  patients  for  various  simple  ailments,  and  sold  a 
thousand  books  and  leaflets.

The  five  stations  of  the  Central  China  Mission  occupy  a  command- 
ing position  with  reference  to  the  richest  and  most  populous  part  of 
China, — what  may  be  called  the  temperate  zone  of  the  Chinese  world. 
The  parallels  which  include  the  provinces  of  Cliehkiang  and  Kiangsu, 
within  which  our  five  stations  are  located,  form  the  central  belt, 
through  which  flows  the  great  river  of  China,  the  Yang-tse  Kiang. 
This  position  commands  the  whole  broad  valley  of  this  "  Son  of  the 
Ocean,"  with  all  his  tributaries.  Under  the  Governor-General,  whose 
palace  is  at  Nanking,  are  grouped  three  provinces — Kiangsu,  Kiangsi, 
and  Nganhui — with  an  aggregate  population  of  95,058,559,  in  an  area 
of  165,137  square  miles.  Add  to  these  the  province  of  Chehkiang, 
with  a  population  of  26,256,784,  in  an  area  of  39,150  square  miles, 
and  we  have  as  the  field  within  easy  reach  of  our  stations  over  121,- 
000,000  people,  in  an  area  of  204,287  square  miles.  In  other 
words,  in  a  territory  only  one-fourth  as  large  as  the  United  States 
east  of  the  Mississippi,  there  is  a  population  about  double  that  of  the 
whole  United  States. 

The  mission  is  anxious  to  press  into  the  interior  and  occupy  the 
opening  provinces.  A  glance  at  the  map  will  show  that  Providence 
has  given  us  an  open  door  into  the  very  heart  of  China.  The  whole 
valley  of  the  Yang-tse- Kiang  and  its  tributaries  lies  before  us.  Eight 
of  the  twenty  provinces  border  on  this  great  river,  and  their  popula- 
tions aggregate  200,000,000  of  people. 

The  mission  asks  attention  to  the  needs  of  the  province  of  Szchuen 
and  the  desirability  of  opening  a  new  missionary  centre  of  our  Board 
in  some  one  of  the  fourteen  great  cities  of  the  Upper  Yang-tse 
within  that  province. 

The  Roman  Catholic  missionaries,  who  till  within  a  few  years  have 
had  sole  possession,  estimate  the  population  of  Szchuen  at  45,000,000. 
Others  have  estimated  it  as  high  as  71,000,000.  Its  remoteness,  and 
the  difficulty  of  navigating  the  rapids,  secured  it  effectually  against  the 
inroads  of  the  Tai-ping  rebels,  so  that  it  retains  all  the  glory  and  pros- 
perity of  ante- rebellion  times.  The  people  are  a  hardy,  straightfor- 
ward, enterprising  race. 


46  CENTRAL   CHINA — SOOCHOW. 

The  present  year  will  be  known  in  history  as  the  year  of  missionary 
riots  in  Central  China.  Various  theories  have  been  propounded 
as  to  the  probable  cause  of  these  lawless  outbreaks.  The  most 
plausible  is  that  which  traces  them  to  the  free  distribution  of  slander- 
ous tracts  and  placards  by  the  gentry  and  officials  of  Changsha,  the 
capital  of  the  Hunan  province. 

One  of  these  so-called  high-class  Chinese  gentlemen,  Mr.  Chao 
Han,  holding  the  rank  of  Taotai,  in  a  letter  to  the  Governor  of  the 
adjoining  province  of  Hupeh,  confesses  boastingly  of  having  printed 
and  circulated  the  "anti-heresy  tracts,"  with  the  advice  and  co-opera- 
tion of  the  literati  of  Changsha.  Not  only  so,  but  he  protests  having 
done  this  out  of  a  good  conscience  from  a  sincere  desire  to  requite 
the  favor  he  has  received  from  the  ancient  sages  and  worthies  from 
the  Great  Yii  down  to  the  present  Emperor  and  Empress  of  the 
Great  Pure  Dynasty.  The  results  of  this  misguided  zeal  have  been 
the  destruction  of  mission  property,  which  it  will  take  at  least  a  mill- 
ion dollars  to  replace,  and  the  sacrifice  of  two  valuable  lives. 

These  riots  extend  from  the  first  outbreak  at  Wuhu  on  the  12th  of 
May,  till  the  last,  at  Ichang  on  the  3d  of  September.  It  is  needless 
to  say  that  these  nearly  four  months  were  full  of  anxiety  and  appre- 
hension to  the  missionaries  of  Central  China,  and  seriously  interrupted 
them  in  their  work. 

The  missionary  force  was  strengthened  during  the  year  by  the  ad- 
dition of  Rev.  W.  N.  Crozier,  who  has  been  stationed  at  Soochow ; 
Rev.  and  Mrs.  Thos.  W.  Houston,  who  has  been  placed  at  Nanking ; 
and  Miss  Edvvina  Cunningham,  who  is  at  Ningpo.  These  have  not 
been  nearly  enough,  however,  to  meet  the  large  needs  of  the  mission. 

Soochow  Statio7i. 

Soochow  is  a  city  of  five  hundred  thousand  inhabitants.  It  is 
situated  seventy  miles  from  Shanghai,  is  the  centre  of  an  immense 
population,  and  is  sometimes  called  "  the  Paris  of  China."  Mr.  Lyon 
writes  the  report : 

"We  have  great  reason  to  be  thankful  that  the  incipient  riot  which  threat- 
ened us  in  Soochow  was  averted  by  the  timely  and  strenuous  efforts  of  the 
officials.  On  the  9th  of  May  word  reached  us  of  the  destruction  of  the  Roman 
Catholic  mission  at  Wusih,  thirty  miles  north.  On  the  same  day  a  telegram 
from  the  U.  S.  Consul,  Leonard,  at  Shanghai  warned  us  of  danger  and  or- 
dered the  missionary  ladies  and  children  to  Shanghai.  The  excitement  of 
calling  a  number  of  boats  attracted  a  crowd  which,  toward  evening,  began  to 
assume  a  riotous  aspect.  Rev.  Dr.  Parker  and  myself,  in  company  with  a 
native  teacher,  visited  the  district  magistrate  and  requested  him  to  disperse 
the  crowd. 

"  He  immediately  sent  a  message  to  the  military  commander  near  by,  and 
went  in  his  chair  to  the  scene  of  disturbance.  Very  soon  the  soldiers 
came  and  took  possession  of  the  foreign  compound  of  the  Methodist  Mission 
and  kept  the  crowd  back.  Aside  from  the  throwing  of  a  few  bricks,  and  break- 
ing a  window  glass  or  two,  no  damage  was  done. 

"  The  next  day,  May  10th,  an  attack  was  made  by  a  mob  on  our  chapel  in 
the  northwest  part  of  the  city.  A  good  many  stones  were  thrown  upon  the 
roof  and  a  hole  broken  through  the  rear  wall.  Immediate  notice  was  given 
the  local  magistrate,  and  he  came  with  his  posse  comitatus  and  dispersed  the 
mob  before  any  serious  damage  was  done. 


CENTRAL  CHINA — NANKING.  47 

"  This  attack  was  made  by  some  local  roughs,  the  leader  of  whom  was  ar- 
rested and  is  said  to  be  still  in  prison. 

"It  is  a  cause  for  special  gratitude  to  God  that  the  people  are  as  friendly 
toward  us  as  they  were  before  the  riots  ;  another  evidence  that  the  opposition 
came  not  from  the  common  people,  but  from  the  so-called  higher  classes  of 
Chinese  society." 

City  Work. — Mr.  Lyon  has  been  the  only  available  foreign  mission- 
ary worker  at  the  Soochow  station,  and  the  year  has  been  one  of 
uninterrupted  labor,  the  usual  summer  vacation  being  spent  in  im- 
portant literary  work. 

Two  young  men  have  completed  their  theological  course,  and  are 
licensed  to  preach  by  the  Shanghai  Presbytery,  and  assigned  to  work 
at  the  Soochow  station. 

On  May  ist  Rev.  Jos.  Bailie  and  Miss  Effie  Deane  Worley,  M.D., 
were  married,  thus  leaving  the  Soochow  ladies'  mission  again  vacant. 
Owing  to  various  interruptions  the  medical  work  of  the  station  has 
been  of  a  desultory  character.  A  number  of  patients  have  received 
medicines  at  the  missionary's  residence. 

The  return  of  Rev.  J.  N.  Hayes  and  family  from  the  United  States, 
reinforced  by  the  Rev.  W.  N.  Crozier,  gives  Soochow  a  business-like 
aspect  again.  This  enables  one  of  the  missionaries  to  devote  his 
whole  time  to  the  very  promising  country  work  west  of  the  city. 

Country  Work. — Mr.  Lyon  has  taken  up  his  abode  at  the  Lion 
Mountain  chapel  with  a  view  to  being  near  the  work  ;  40,000  people 
in  400  villages  are  within  easy  visiting  distance.  His  influence  is 
already  felt  in  the  central  village  to  such  an  extent  that  the  Chu-ka 
village  is  reputed  far  and  near  to  have  believed  the  foreign  religion. 
A  collector  for  one  of  the  neighboring  temples  on  his  annual  visit, 
went  away  empty-handed. 

A  number  of  the  village  women  are  learning  the  doctrine,  but  the 
slave-like  life  they  are  compelled  to  lead  makes  it  impossible  for  them 
to  fulfill  the  external  duties  of  a  Christian  profession,  though  some  of 
them  would  gladly  do  so. 

Mr.  Lyon's  heart  is  in  this  work  : 

"There  can  be  no  doubt  as  to  the  practicability  of  living  in  the  country, 
and  no  question  either  as  to  the  advantage  of  being  intimately  acquainted 
with  those  we  try  to  influence  spiritually.  The  demand  on  all  hands  is  that 
we  get  nearer  the  people,  that  we  learn  to  sympathize  with  them  in  their  daily 
trials  and  enjoyments.  The  apostolic  injunction,  '  Be  not  high-minded,  but 
condescend  to  men  of  low  estate,'  applies  to  our  intercourse  with  the  people 
we  seek  to  benefit.  We  need  to  avoid  the  extreme  on  the  one  hand  of  self- 
isolation,  and  on  the  other  of  stooping  so  low  as  to  be  despised.  Showing 
kindly  interest  in  the  poorest  of  the  people  by  daily  meeting  and  greeting 
them  in  a  friendly  way,  is  the  way  to  win  their  hearts." 

Nanking  Station. 

Nanking  is  on  the  Yang-tse-Kiang,  about  180  miles  northwest  of 
Shanghai. 

The  past  year  has  been  one  of  many  ups  and  downs,  but  the  work 
began  with  cheer  and  bright  hopes.  Mr.  Drummond  was  added  to 
the  station  just  after  the  last  mission  meeting.     At  the  communion  in 


48  CENTRAL   CHINA— NANKING. 

December  five  adults — all  men — united  with  the  Christian  community 
by  profession  of  faith  and  public  baptism.  The  winter  passed  in  quiet 
and  joyous  work  in  school  and  Sunday-school,  chapel  and  street.  In 
the  spring  three  women,  two  girls  from  the  school,  one  man  and  a 
child  were  baptized.  About  the  same  time  Miss  Jessie  P.  Rhind 
joined  the  mission  at  her  own  charges.  She  is  a  Scotch  lady  and  a 
member  of  one  of  the  Scotch  Presbyterian  churches.  She  has  had 
two  years'  experience  in  China,  most  of  the  time  being  spent  in 
Nanking  and  on  the  Nanking  dialect. 

This  peaceful  work  was  disturbed  suddenly,  on  a  bright  Sabbath 
afternoon  toward  the  close  of  May,  and  the  missionaries  were  sum- 
moned to  leave  their  homes.  This  it  was  thought  best  to  do,  and  our 
mission,  in  common  with  others  of  the  city,  left  on  Monday  morning. 
Since  then  the  work  has  been  desultory,  yet  not  without  its  fruit ;  for 
on  the  day  of  the  proposed  riot,  which  was  attempted  according  to 
appointment,  a  young  man  of  good  family,  and  the  head  of  it,  joined 
himself  to  the  mission  in  the  face  of  the  mob,  and  has  continued  a 
faithful  inquirer,  and  he,  with  several  others,  are  candidates  for  baptism. 

Since  the  riot  the  ladies  have  been  absent  from  the  station  up  to 
the  time  of  the  report ;  yet  neither  the  boys'  and  girls'  schools,  nor 
any  part  of  our  work,  has  been  wholly  abandoned  at  any  time,  but  all 
has  been  kept  up  to  a  greater  or  less  extent.  This  has  been  made 
possible  only  by  the  faithfulness  of  the  natives,  not  any  of  whom,  up 
to  this  time,  have  turned  from  their  faith,  or  behaved  in  any  way  to 
cast  suspicion  on  their  Christian  character.  No  personal  injury  was 
done,  and  even  our  compound  buildings  and  fences  have  escaped 
better  than  those  of  others,  who  have  sustained  some  losses  by  fire  and 
looting. 

Boys  Boar  ding- School. — The  Boys'  Boarding-School  has  been  con- 
tinued as  usual  during  the  entire  disturbance,  and  on  account  of  the 
trouble  was  continued  without  interruption  through  the  summer.  The 
day-schools  for  the  present  are  closed,  and  it  has  been  thought  best 
also  to  close  the  Boarding-School  to  new  scholars  until  the  state  of 
the  country  is  more  settled.  The  progress  of  the  school  has  been 
satisfactory. 

Mrs.  Leaman  reports  for  this  school,  which  was  opened  Oct.  15, 
1884: 

"  From  the  time  of  our  opening  last  September  until  we  left  in  May,  the 
school  work  went  on  most  satisfactorily.  The  new  pupils  added  were  from 
Christian  homes,  so  that  the  whole  influence  of  the  school  was  decidedly 
Christian.  At  the  spring  communion  five  of  the  girls  from  the  Boarding- 
School  and  three  of  the  women  from  my  class  of  women  asked  for  baptism. 
At  that  time  all  of  the  girls  over  twelve  years  of  age  were  professing  Christians, 
or  were  expecting  to  unite  with  the  church.  We  were  so  happy  then,  and  our 
hearts  were  so  full  in  view  of  all  the  Lord  had  done  for  us,  and  we  had  so 
many  plans  for  widening  our  work — we  were  to  take  our  older  girls  for  pupil 
teachers,  and  the  departments  were  at  last  to  have  their  separate  teachers — 
when  all  in  a  day  our  dear  work  seemed  scattered  to  the  four  winds,  the  girls 
hastening  to  their  homes  and  we  fleeing  for  our  lives.  But  our  faith  never 
wavered  ;  we  left  each  little  fleeing  lamb  to  the  tender  care  of  the  Good  Shep- 
herd, feeling  sure  that  He  would  shield  them  and  keep  them  without  the  loss 
of  one. 


CENTRAL  CHINA — SHANGHAI.  49 

"  Since  the  last  of  August  some  fifteen  of  the  girls  have  been  gathered  back 
into  the  school  by  our  good  Chinese  teacher,  Mrs.  Li.  Mrs.  Li  is  a  pupil  from 
our  Tungchow  girls'  school. 

"  When  the  school  closed  at  the  New  Year  we  had  twenty-six  girls  in  the 
Boarding-School,  twelve  day  pupils,  and  twelve  women  in  the  women's  class. 
Some  of  these  women  are  now  able  to  go  out  as  Bible-women,  and  erne  of  the 
number,  we  trust,  will,  from  this  time  on,  give  her  whole  time  to  the  work, 
except  such  time  as  is  needed  for  better  preparation  for  the  work.  Five  years 
ago  she  came  to  me,  a  poor,  ignorant  countrywoman,  to  help  me  in  the  house- 
work ;  now  she  is  a  bright,  earnest  Christian  woman,  zealous  for  the  glory  of 
God." 

Shanghai  Station. 

Shanghai  is  the  Liverpool  of  China,  and  has  a  population  of  half  a 
million.  There  are  three  churches,  at  South  Gate,  at  Hongkew,  and 
at  the  Mission  Press.     Their  work  can  best  be  described  separately. 

South  Gate  Work. 

The  absence  in  America  of  Dr.  and  Mrs.  Smith  has  thrown  the 
work  at  the  South  Gate  upon  less  experienced  missionaries,  but  on 
the  other  hand  the  station  has  been  reinforced  since  the  last  report  by 
the  addition  of  two  ladies,  and  has  had  the  continued  assistance  of 
Miss  Brunton,  who  consented  to  remain  in  charge  of  the  Girls'  School 
for  another  year. 

The  South  Gate  Church  has  had  17  additions  to  its  communion  this 
year,  15  of  whom  were  on  confession  of  faith.  Two  of  these  had  been 
baptized  in  infancy.  It  is  also  gratifying  to  note  that  six  of  those 
admitted  were  converted  from  heathenism,  having  had  no  previous 
instruction  in  our  Christian  schools.  The  total  number  is  116.  The 
contributions  for  the  year,  as  reported  to  Presbytery,  are  $106.57 
Mexican.  The  church  owns  property  at  Song-kaung,  and  the  rentals 
received,  added  to  voluntary  contributions  of  members,  enable  the 
church  to  meet  expenses  without  aid  from  the  Board. 

The  pastor  has  aided  in  making  tours  in  the  neighboring  portion  of 
the  city,  preaching  and  selling  books,  and  in  preaching  in  the  street 
chapel. 

Sunday-School. — The  Sunday-school  has  been  greatly  prospered 
this  year.  The  largest  attendance  was  345.  The  average  attendance 
for  the  year  has  been  about  185.  This  school  is  quite  an  attraction 
to  visitors,  and  through  it  the  Gospel  is  preached  to  many  who  come 
out  of  curiosity  or  for  amusement. 

Chapel  Preaching. — The  chapel  near  the  river  was  closed  early  in 
the  year  because  two  assistants  who  helped  to  maintain  preaching  in 
it  had  been  sent  to  other  places  ;  but  a  chapel  has  been  fitted  up  on 
the  mission  premises,  which  is  opened  twice  a  week,  and  the  old  build- 
ing in  the  native  city  has  been  repaired  and  is  available  for  occasional 
services. 

A  new  chapel  has  been  opened  and  carried  on  by  the  Mission  Press 
Church,  which  is  partly  sustained  by  mission  funds.  It  is  an  enter- 
prise of  the  Chinese  Christians,  and  has  been  opened  and  sustained 
by  them  with  the  assistance  of  five  dollars  a  month  from  the  mission 
treasury.

Work  among  the  Women. — A  monthly  meeting  for  Christian  women 
is  held  by  the  ladies.  This  meeting  combines  social  and  devotional 
features,  and  is  largely  attended  by  the  church  members  and  by  others 
invited  by  them.  A  weekly  meeting  for  women,  designed  especially 
to  reach  the  mothers  of  the  day-school  children,  has  been  commenced 
by  Miss  Posey. 

The  ladies  of  the  mission  have  also  made  quite  a  number  of  visits 
to  the  homes  of  Chinese  women,  and,  assisted  by  a  Bible-woman  or 
other  Christian  worker,  have  preached  the  Word  as  they  have  had  op- 
portunity. 

Line rie  Hi<rh- School. — The  Boys'  Boarding-School  has  been  con- 
ducted much  as  formerly,  but  with  some  change  as  to  minor  details. 
It  is  desired  to  make  the  school  more  and  more  a  training-school  for 
those  who  are  likelv  to  be  useful  as  Christian  workers.  The  number 
of  pupils  enrolled  for  the  year  is  40.  The  number  in  attendance  at 
persent  is  35. 

Two  former  pupils  are  studying  for  the  ministry,  having  been  for 
some  time  in  Mr.  Judson's  School  at  Hangchow.  They  seem  to  have 
derived  great  benefit  from  their  stay  there,  and  have  been  rendering 
valuable  help  for  some  months  in  our  boarding-school,  although  this 
arrangement  is  only  temporary.  P'our  of  the  boys  have  been  admitted 
to  the  communion  of  the  South  Gate  Church. 

Dr.  Farnham,  who  had  spent  many  years  at  the  South  Gate  in 
charge  of  the  Lowrie  High-School,  arrived  at  the  age  of  sixty  on 
Christmas  Day.  This  event  was  made  the  occasion  of  a  gathering  of 
his  many  Chinese  friends  and  former  students,  who  presented  him 
with  a  silver  tablet  in  token  of  their  esteem. 

After  thirty  years'  of  labor  the  little  church,  which  was  organized  at 
the  beginning  with  only  one  Chinese  member,  has  grown  into  three 
churches,  with  a  combined  membership  of  nearly  200,  and  many  pupils 
educated  in  the  schools  which  were  opened  by  Dr.  and  Mrs.  Farnham 
are  now  valued  preachers  and  teachers,  or  rilling  other  positions  of 
usefulness. 

Girls'  Boarding-School. — Miss  Brunton's  report  is  as  follows  : 

"  It  is  with  great  pleasure  and  thankfulness  that  I  can  write  the  word 
'  improvement '  upon  every  department  of  our  work.  Cleanliness,  order,  com- 
fortable bedrooms,  warm  clothing,  plain,  good,  wholesome  food,  are  very 
important,  and  much  attention  has  been  given  to  these  things  ;  but  the  main 
object  for  which  the  school  is  kept  up,  that  of  spiritual  teaching  and  growth  in 
grace,  is  not  forgotten.  This  term  the  improvement  has  been  remarkable. 
Several  times  lately  have  the  girls  expressed  their  thanks  to  me  for  the  teach- 
ing they  are  receiving  in  the  Bible.  I  personally  teach  the  older  classes  their 
Scripture  lessons,  translating  from  Jamieson,  Fausset,  and  Brown's  Com- 
mentary, which  Mr.  Silsby  very  kindly  lends  me.  We  are  now  studying 
Genesis  and  St.  Matthew's  Gospel.  At  our  morning  prayers  we  are  all  study- 
ing the  Epistles,  and  have  just  finished  both  Epistles  of  Paul  to  the  Corinthians, 
each  verse  having  been  explained  and  questions  answered  and  given.  Our 
morning  prayers  are  a  treat  for  the  day,  and  our  girls  are  now  trying  to  live 
each  day  for  the  Lord. 

"  On  Sunday  morning  we  have  a  praise  meeting  instead  of  our  regular  read- 
ing, which  the  ^irls  enjoy  very  much.  I  have  been  teaching  them  knitting, 
darning,  fancy  wool-work,  crewels,  and  also  their  own  native  embroidery,  the 
proceeds  of  which  work,  while  they  are  with  us  in  the  school,  I  am  using  to  re- 
seat the  school,  as  we  are  very  badly  off  for  good  seats. 


CENTRAL  CHINA— HONGKEW.  5  I 

"  I  have  had  the  pleasure  of  sending  out  in  the  beginning  of  the  year  four  of 
our  large  girls  as  teachers  for  day-schools.  All  are  doing  fairly  well,  consider- 
ing it  is  their  first  attempt  to  be  useful  in  the  mission." 

Day-Schools. — Miss  Posey  reports  as  follows  : 

"  We  have  good  reports  to  make  of  three  of  our  five  day-schools.  The 
other  two  are  struggling  to  gain  a  foothold.  The  total  enrollment  for  the  year 
just  closed  is  173  :  boys,  132  ;  girls,  .jr.  The  present  attendance  is  99  :  boys, 
73  ;  girls,  26.  All  of  the  pupils  are  from  heathen  homes.  They  come  quite 
regularly,  and  since  the  schools  have  been  reopened  this  autumn  and  more 
time  given  to  this  work,  we  see  hopeful  and  encouraging  signs  of  improvement. 

"  A  little  visiting  has  been  done  in  the  homes  of  the  pupils,  and  as  we  have 
had  but  little  time  for  this  most  important  feature  of  the  work,  a  Woman's 
Class  has  just  been  opened  in  the  little  chapel  on  our  compound,  inviting  the 
mothers,  once  a  week,  on  Thursday  afternoons,  to  come  to  hear  the  Word  of 
Life.  Last  Thursday  afternoon  we  had  the  pleasure  of  meeting  fifteen  women, 
aad  I  know  that  God  will  bless  the  earnest  and  faithful  labors  of  Mrs  Li,  our 
cook's  wife,  and  dear  old  Waung  T'a-t'a,  the  mother  of  our  pastor's  wife. 
The  faces  of  many  of  the  women  showed  that  they  were  trying  to  take  hold  of 
what  was  said,  and  there  was  the  hush  and  quietness  of  their  really  and  truly 
coming  face  to  face  into  the  presence  of  the  Holy  One." 

Itinerations  and  Outstation  Work. — Pressure  of  other  duties  and 
the  unsettled  condition  of  the  country  have  prevented  much  work  in 
this  department.  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Silsby  and  Rev.  Mr.  T'aung,  the  South 
Gate  pastor,  have  made  one  tour  of  the  outstations. 

At  'Au-so  they  found  a  flourishing  school  and  were  much  pleased 
with  the  evidences  of  faithful  work  by  the  teacher  in  charge ;  but  the 
schools  at  Song-kaung  and  Tseu-p'oo  have  not  been  satisfactory. 

Rev.  Mr.  Bau  has  been  doing  good  work  at  Tseu-p'oo.  His  inter- 
est in  the  day-schools  has  helped  much  to  an  improvement  in  their 
attendance  and  efficiency.  Mr.  Bau  delights  in  preaching  the  Word, 
and  he  has  made  several  short  evangelistic  trips  into  neighboring 
villages.  Mr.  Tsang,  a  young  licentiate,  is  now  associated  with  Mr. 
Bau  in  evangelistic  work. 

Interest  of  Foreign  Friends. — A  number  of  friends  of  the  foreign 
community  have  been  interested  in  the  South  Gate  work,  and  this  in- 
terest has  been  shown  in  a  very  practical  way  by  contributions  which 
enabled  needed  repairs  to  be  made  without  expense  to  the  mission. 

Mr.  Silsby  writes  : 

"  During  the  times  of  rioting  on  the  Yang-tse,  we  were  made  to  feel  anxious 
for  the  safety  of  our  own  premises  and  of  the  pupils  and  helpers  under  our 
care.  It  seemed  advisable  to  dismiss  the  girls'  school  a  month  earlier  than 
usual,  but  the  other  work  went  on  without  serious  interruption.  The  neigh- 
bors have  all  along  seemed  friendly,  and  the  day-schools  and  Sunday-school 
have  suffered  little  if  any  from  the  prevailing  excitement."

Literary.- — The  editorial  care  of  the  periodicals — The  Chinese  Illus- 
trated News  (now  in  its  twelfth  year)  and  The  Child's  Paper  (now  in 
its  seventeenth) — has  occupied  a  portion  of  Dr.  Farnham's  time.  The 
Child's  Paper  has  been  enlarged,  and  now  contains  the  International 
Series  of  Sunday- school  Lessons.  Each  of  these  magazines  contains 
twenty-four  pages  of  reading  matter,  making  for  the  year  nearly  a 
million  and  a  half  of  pages. 


52  CENTRAL   CHINA— MISSION  PRESS. 

The  Rev.  E.  H.  Thomson,  who  is  associated  with  Dr.  Farnham  as 
Corresponding  Secretary  of  the  Religious  Tract  Society,  has  returned 
to  China,  and  takes  his  share  of  the  work,  assuming  the  entire  charge 
during  Dr.  Farnham's  absence  last  summer.  Circulating  manuscripts 
and  publishing  books,  when  approved,  still  falls  to  Dr.  Farnham,  and 
the  last  Annual  Report  shows  that  265,838  books,  tracts,  and  leaflets 
were  disposed  of  during  the  year,  making  about  3,624,181  pages  of 
matter  in  the  Chinese  language,  besides  more  than  100  foreign  books 
and  nearly  400  lithographed  cards  for  New  Year,  Christmas,  prizes, 
etc. 

Mrs.  Farnham  has  done  a  similar  work  for  the  National  Woman's 
Christian  Temperance  Union,  of  which  she  is  the  President,  while 
prayer-meetings,  benevolent  organizations,  and  entertainment  have 
made  the  usual  calls  upon  her  time  and  strength. 

The  Church. — Dr.  Farnham  is  acting  pastor  of  the  church,  though 
Mr.  Woo,  a  graduate  of  our  Boys'  Boarding-School,  who  is  also  one 
of  the  elders,  does  most  of  the  pastoral  work  and  preaches  every  Sun- 
day morning.  He  takes  a  lively  interest  in  the  work  and  preaches 
excellent  Gospel  sermons,  enforcing  the  truth  with  beautiful  and 
pointed  illustrations.  The  afternoon  is  devoted  to  the  Sunday-school 
attended  by  many  of  the  church  members  and  all  the  day-school 
pupils.  Dr.  Farnham  takes  charge  of  this  service,  using  the  Chinese 
weekly  Sunday-school  lesson  papers.  The  attendance  in  the  forenoon 
is  from  sixty  to  seventy,  though  there  have  been  as  many  as  eighty 
present. 

Mr.  Woo,  besides  preaching  and  pastoral  calls,  has  done  consider- 
able other  work.  Among  other  things  he  and  Mrs.  Farnham  have 
translated  Dr.  Davis'  Life  of  Neesima  into  Chinese. 

Schools. — There  have  been  two  day-schools  all  the  year,  and  three 
part  of  the  time,  with  a  total  attendance  of  eighty-seven — fifty-one 
boys  and  thirty-six  girls. 

The  pupils  answer  a  good  purpose  as  guides  to  their  homes  when 
Mrs.  Farnham  and  the  Bible-woman  go  out  in  their  weekly  visits 
among  the  women.  These  mothers  generally  give  them  a  kind  recep- 
tion into  homes  where  the  children  have  already  been,  in  a  sense, 
Gospel  messengers. 

Mr.  Woo  and  Mr.  Tsang,  the  Bible  student,  have  visited  the 
neighboring  villages  and  hamlets  as  they  could  spare  the  time  from 
other  duties.     Dr.  Farnham  regards  this  as  important  work  : 

"  If  faithful,  earnest,  native  Christians  can  be  sent  to  the  villages,  having 
the  time  and  means  to  make  acquaintances  among  the  leading  families  and 
influential  and  religiously  disposed,  the  Gospel  as  presented  by  them  would 
likely  be  received  favorably,  and  we  might  hope  to  see  whole  villages  brought 
to  Christ." 

Mission  Press. 

Mr.  Fitch's  return  to  the  United  States  on  furlough  left  the  press 
wholly  in  the  care  of  Mr.  Mcintosh,  who  writes  warmly  of  the  work 
done  by  Mr.  Fitch.     The  usefulness  of  the  press  increases  yearly. 

Among   the   notable   works   issued  from   the  press  during  the  year 


CENTRAL   CHINA — MISSION    PRESS. 


53 


were  the  Records  of  the  General  Missionary  Conference  of  1890,  and 
a  Manual  of  Therapeutics  and  Pharmacy,  by  Rev.  Dr.  S.  A.  Hunter. 
A  second  and  enlarged  edition  of  Rev.  F.  W.  Bailer's  Mandarin 
Primer  has  also  been  printed. 

Apart  from  the  printing,  another  very  important  agency  to  be  re- 
ported is  the  receipt  and  forwarding  of  goods  from  home,  etc.,  for  in- 
land stations.  During  the  year  394  packages  have  been  imported, 
406  exported,  and  469  transhipped,  making  a  total  of  1,269.  ^n  a^- 
dition  to  this  the  Mission  Press  has,  to  a  great  extent,  to  act  as  a  kind 
of  "  General  Provider"  for  many  missionaries  all  over  China. 

That  the  influence  of  the  press  is  increasing  is  seen  in  the  number 
of  names  on  the  books.  On  June  30th  there  were  370  debtors  owing 
the  press  $9,523.84  ;  whilst  there  were  109  creditors  to  whom  the 
press  owed  $4,061.49.  The  total  number  of  names  on  the  ledger  is 
761.  In  March,  1891,  $2,000  were  drawn  from  the  press  funds  and 
placed  to  the  credit  of  the  Central  China  Mission. 

There  are  86  workmen  in  the  employment  of  the  press  (not  includ- 
ing 16  outside  binders),  and  it  is  with  thankfulness  we  record  the  fact 
that  27  of  them  are  members  of  the  Presbyterian  church  connected 
with  the  press.  There  are  others  who  are  members  of  other  denom- 
inations. Pastor  Sz  labors  faithfully  and  earnestly,  and  his  zeal  has 
been  helpful  in  stimulating  others  to  help  in  spreading  Gospel  truth 
among  their  heathen  neighbors.  The  Thursday  evening  prayer-meeting 
and  gathering  of  the  Christian  Endeavor  Society  has  been  well  at- 
tended, and  has  been  mostly  conducted  by  workmen  and  members  of 
the  church.  The  total  contributions,  exclusive  of  help  from  for- 
eigners, is  $359.81.  The  members  are  able  to  support  the  native 
pastor,  defray  running  expenses  of  the  church,  and  conduct  a  day- 
school  for  the  benefit  of  the  children  of  workmen  at  the  press. 

The  following  is  a  statistical  epitome  of  the  work  done  during 
the  year :

nificant  proportions  when  compared  with  the  hundreds  of  millions  of 
people  in  China.  One  important  lesson  can  be  learned  from  the  re- 
cent anti-foreign  outbreaks  in  China  as  to  the  need  for  the  Mission 
Press  here.  The  power  of  the  native  press  in  Hunan  and  elsewhere, 
as  subsidized  and  utilized  by  the  Evil  One,  has  been  alike  strikingly 
illustrated.  Whether  the  riots  have  been  caused  by  secret  societies, 
aiming  at  the  expulsion  of  the  present  dynasty,  or  is  an  anti-foreign 
propaganda  by  the  officials,  gentry,  and  literati,  for  the  purpose  of 
keeping  China  exclusively  for  the  Chinese  ;  we  have  at  least  one  very 
evident  fact:  that  from  the  province  of  Hunan — considered  by  many 
Chinese  as  the  palladium  of  the  empire,  and  whose  inhabitants  have 
for  a  fixed  article  in  their  creed  the  ultimate  expulsion  of  the  hated 
"outer  barbarian" — there  has  poured  forth  a  steady  stream  of  anti- 
foreign  pamphlets  and  placards  untranslatable  on  account  of  their 
blasphemy  and  filth,  and  gradually  poisoning  the  minds  of  the  people 
all  along  the  Yang-tse  valley.  If  ever  the  Mission  Press  was  wanted, 
it  is  wanted  now  in  China. 

Hangchow  Station. 

Hangchow  is  the  capital  of  the  Chehkiang  province,  156  miles 
northwest  of  Ningpo,  and  is  one  of  the  renowned  cities  of  China.  It 
was  for  a  short  time  the  capital  of  the  empire,  in  the  Sung  dynasty, 
some  eight  hundred  years  ago.  It  was  always  noted  for  its  magnifi- 
cence until  the  Tai-ping  rebellion,  when  (1863)  the  city  was  almost 
demolished.  The  city  has  grown  much,  however,  since  then,  but 
great  tracts  of  ruins  and  unclaimed  ground  tell  of  the  fallen  splendor. 
Yet  to-day  Hangchow  and  Soochow  are  named  together  as  the  wealth- 
iest and  most  influential  cities  of  Central  China. 

The  Roman  Catholics  of  course  were  the  first  foreigners  in  Hang- 
chow. In  an  old  Roman  Catholic  cemetery,  outside  the  city,  are 
buried  missionaries  of  that  church  of  the  seventeenth  century.  The 
Catholic  Church  is  still  strong  here,  and  the  lady  missionaries  of  our 
Protestant  missions  say  they  occasionally  feel  the  hindrance  of  the 
"  Sisters' "  work.  But  Hangchow  is  so  large  that  there  is  no  great 
danger  of  our  getting  in  each  other's  way. 

The  city  lies  out  of  the  path  which  the  riots  took,  and  the  temper 
of  the  people  here  has  always  seemed  more  friendly  to  foreigners 
than  in  some  of  the  cities  along  the  Yang-tse.  In  June,  just  after  the 
disturbance  at  Soochow,  a  riot  was  threatened  here.  But  at  the  ap- 
pointed time  no  trouble  was  attempted,  as  the  officials  took  prompt 
precautionary  measures.  Not  the  slightest  trouble  took  place  during 
the  fall  examinations,  though  there  were  ten  thousand  scholars  in  the 
city,  besides  the  large  following  of  tradesmen,  servants,  and  "  worth- 
less fellows"  that  came  with  them. 

Mr.  Garritt  has  been  almost  constantly  engaged  in  the  study  of  the 
language,  and  Mr.  Judson  in  the  school,  so  that  the  native  helpers 
have  had  to  bear  the  whole  brunt  of  the  evangelistic  work  this  year. 
The  helpers,  we  feel  sure,  are  earnest  and  prayerful  in  their  preaching; 
but  there  seems  an  apathy  among  many  of  the  Christians,  a  need  of 


CENTRAL  CHINA — HAN GCHOW.  55 

the  outpouring  of  the  Holy  Spirit,  demanding  the  prayers  of  the 
church  especially  in  their  behalf.  The  station  calls  urgently  for  more 
helpers. 

The  Churches. — The  Hangchow  church,  including  Zang-peh,  has 
had  1 1  additions  during  the  Presbyterial  year,  4  by  letter  and  7  by 
profession  of  faith.  One  inquirer  is  a  man  of  middle  age,  a  dyer  by 
trade,  who  is  quite  constant  in  attendance  upon  church  services  and  in 
study  of  the  Bible ;  this,  too,  in  the  face  of  many  sneers  and  entice- 
ments from  the  heathen  with  whom  he  works.  He  has  been  bringing 
his  son  to  church,  too,  of  late.  This  man  was  first  interested  in  the 
Gospel  in  one  of  the  street  chapels. 

Mrs.  Judson  has  this  year  found  time  to  carry  out  a  long-cherished 
plan  in  organizing  a  Bible-class  among  the  Christian  women.  This 
class  serves  both  as  a  mid-week  prayer-meeting  and  as  a  class  for 
closer  study  of  the  Bible.  A  number  of  the  women  are  very  faithful 
in  attendance,  and  all  enjoy  the  study. 

The  Sin-z  church  is  not  in  so  flourishing  a  condition  as  formerly. 

The  members  are  faithful  in  attendance  at  church  ;  but  there  is 
neither  the  growth  nor  the  earnestness  that  was  found  among  them 
some  years  ago. 

The  triumphant  death  of  an  old  member  of  this  church  should  be 
recorded.  His  name  was  Yang,  and  he  was  over  seventy  years  old, 
having  entered  the  church  23  years  ago  under  Mr.  Dodd's  ministry. 
A  day  or  so  before  his  death  he  asked  for  the  pastor.  Mr.  Yii  asked 
as  to  his  spiritual  condition,  and  he  said  he  felt  deep  peace — that  the 
Heavenly  Father  was  calling  him  away  from  the  sorrows  of  earth  to 
joy  in  heaven.  He  asked  that  the  Christians  should  gather  about  his 
coffin  and  sing  hymns  of  praise. 

The  Schools. — At  the  Chinese  New  Year  the  day-school  in  the  south 
part  of  the  city  was  dissolved,  as  the  teacher  was  about  to  leave  the 
mission  employ  and  a  new  teacher  was  not  obtainable.  Three  other 
schools  have  been  conducted,  one  under  Mrs.  Judson's  oversight. 

Evangelistic  Work. — Mr.  Garritt  has  made  some  itinerating  trips 
and  sold  some  books.  Many  books  were  sold  to  the  "Incense-guests," 
or  pilgrims,  who  pour  into  the  city  in  March  and  April  to  worship  in 
the  temples. 

Our  two  licentiates  itinerated  to  the  west  of  Hangchow,  toward  An- 
hwui.  They  found  two  families  of  old  believers,  who  had  moved  out 
there  years  ago,  from  churches  in  the  Ningpo  field.  They  also  found 
many  to  buy  and  some  to  study  the  Christian  books. 

At  the  new  year,  a  Ningpo  licentiate,  Wang  Hyao-kwe,  was  trans- 
ferred by  Presbytery  to  Hangchow,  and  has  gone  to  Hai-ning,  a  city 
thirty  miles  east  of  Hangchow.  He  is  expected  to  spend  his  time  not 
in  a  street  chapel,  but  in  going  about  the  city  and  country  preaching 
and  selling  books.  There  is  a  Christian,  a  poor  tradesman,  living 
there,  who,  with  his  family,  forms  a  nucleus  for  a  church.  They  and 
some  others  gather  on  the  Sabbath  for  divine  service,  and  two  sons  of 
this  Christian  are  asking  for  admission  into  the  church.  Several  others, 
mainly  from  the  country,  are  studying  the  Bible  and  Mrs.  Nevius' 
catechism,     Along  the  road  from  Hangchow  to  Hai-ning,  the  canals 


56  CENTRAL  CHINA — HANGCHOW. 

are  thickly  dotted  with  villages,  and  there  are  some  large  towns.  Sev- 
eral men  might  well  be  employed  in  this  small  but  needy  region. 

High-School. — There  are  now  forty-four  boys  in  the  school,  and  the 
names  of  nine  others  are  on  the  list  of  applications  for  admission,  who 
are  waiting  to  enter. 

The  riots  in  June  did  not  affect  the  school  work  so  very  seriously, 
though  during  the  time  when  Hangchow  was  threatened,  there  was 
more  or  less  uneasiness  among  the  students. 

The  first  half  year  closed  its  term  at  the  middle  of  July,  and  the 
examinations  were  held  as  usual,  at  which  time  quite  a  large  number 
of  gentlemen  and  literati  were  present  and  took  part  in  the  examina- 
tions of  the  native  books.  Among  them,  a  member  of  the  noted  Hyii 
family,  who  had  just  returned  from  Russia,  where  he  had  been  Secre- 
tary of  the  Chinese  Legation,  was  present  for  two  days  in  succession, 
and  remarked  upon  the  good  work  that  was  being  done  and  the  dis- 
grace that  the  people  should  cause  such  disturbances  and  hinder  the 
work. 

The  Y.  M.  C.  A.,  of  which  Mr.  Garritt  has  taken  the  oversight,  has 
been  continued  during  the  year.  Mr.  Judson  writes  regarding  it: 
"  Weekly  prayer-meetings,  monthly  missionary  meetings — when  the 
work  in  other  countries  has  been  brought  before  them — and  also 
monthly  business  meetings  have  been  held.  Mr.  Garritt  also  has 
taught  the  class  in  the  Acts  of  the  Apostles,  which  comes  in  the  regu- 
lar course  of  study.  It  has  been  the  usual  custom  on  Sunday  even- 
ings to  review  all  the  boys  on  the  sermon  preached  at  the  morning 
service,  but  this  year  Mrs.  Judson  has  thought  it  better  to  have  the 
younger  boys  come  to  her,  when  she  has  had  singing  and  prayer  with 
them,  and  also  read  and  conversed  with  them  on  The  Miracles  of  Our 
Lord.  At  every  meeting  of  the  church  session,  quite  a  number  have 
presented  themselves  for  church  membership,  and  during  the  year 
three  have  been  received." 

The  industrial  department  in  carpentry  has  still  been  continued, 
and  nearly  all  the  woodwork  in  connection  with  physical  apparatus, 
together  with  some  beds  for  the  school,  have  been  made  by  the  boys. 

During  the  year  considerable  apparatus  has  been  added,  the  larger 
portion  of  which  has  been  made  in  the  school  shop.  Among  the 
pieces  received  from  home  is  a  fine  theodolite,  priced  at  three  hun- 
dred and  fifty  dollars.  The  inscription  upon  it  reads  thus  :  "  From 
the  First  Presbyterian  Church  of  Batavia,  N.  Y.,  U.  S.  A.,  to  the 
Presbyterian  School  at  Hangchow,  China." 

The  classes  in  English  have  been  taught  entirely  by  Mrs.  Judson. 
The  advanced  class  is  making  rapid  progress  in  the  reading  of  the 
New  Testament  and  a  Primary  Grammar. 

Regarding  his  desires  for  the  future  of  the  school,  Mr.  Judson  writes  : 

"  We  have  advocated  all  along,  and  still  do  advocate,  that  one  high-graded 
school  should  be  established  for  Central  China.  The  Southern  Methodists  are 
doing  this  at  Soochow,  the  Northern  Methodists  are  doing  the  same  at  Nan- 
king. We  think  it  not  presumptive  to  say  that  the  foundation  is  laid  here. 
The  building  should  now  be  carried  on  and  up  ;  help  should  be  sent,  that  the 
work  may  be  done  well,  and  the  building  should  stand,  not  for  a  season,  but 
for  time." 


I  ENTRAL  CHINA— NINGPO.  57 

Ningpo  Station. 

Ningpo,  one  of  the  ports  opened  in  1842,  is  located  on  the  Ningpo 
river,  twelve  miles  from  the  sea,  and  contains,  with  its  suburbs,  a 
population  of  300,000.  The  beautiful  and  fertile  plain  stretching  to 
the  west  and  south  of  the  city,  intersected  with  canals,  has  been  called 
''  the  very  garden  of  China." 

The  "Peaceful  Wave"  city  has  been  true  to  its  name  during  the 
year,  notwithstanding  the  disturbances  in  other  parts.  However,  in 
some  of  the  outstations  there  has  been  more  or  less  disquiet  caused  by 
false  rumors  and  exaggerated  reports  of  the  riots  along  the  Yang-tse. 

Mr.  McKee  writes  of  some  troubles  during  the  year: 

"  Some  excitement,  which  for  a  time  threatened  serious  trouble,  was  raised 
over  the  alleged  desecration  of  graves  and  stealing  of  human  bones  therefrom 
in  the  Saen-poh  region,  where  we  have  several  chapels.  Night  after  night  the 
people  kept  watch,  ami  gongs  were  beaten  to  frighten  off  the  miscreants.  At 
last  four  strange  men  were  caught,  and  were  said  to  have  two  bags  of  human 
bones  in  their  possession.  Two  of  the  men  were  beaten  to  death  on  the  spot, 
and  the  other  two  were  taken  bruised  and  bleeding  to  the  yamen  of  the  district 
magistrate,  where  one  of  them  soon  died  from  the  effects  of  his  wounds.  It 
was  reported  that  these  men  stated  the  bones  were  to  be  sold  to  foreigners  for 
the  purpose  of  making  medicine.  On  this  report,  instantly  there  were  threats 
made  to  tear  down  all  the  chapels  in  that  vicinity.  However,  in  the  yamen  the 
men  denied  having  made  such  a  statement.  The  magistrate  went  in  person 
to  the  places  where  the  outrages  were  said  to  have  been  committed  and  made 
an  investigation.  The  bones  said  to  have  been  taken  from  the  accused  being 
brought  to  him,  he  pronounced  them  bones  of  animals.  This  so  incensed  the 
people  that  they  began  throwing  stones,  and  the  magistrate  retracted  his  state- 
ment and  retired  as  quickly  as  possible.  Proclamations  were  issued  endeavor- 
ing to  pacify  the  people  and  threatening  most  severe  punishment  to  desecrators 
of  graves.  Our  chapels  were  left  unharmed,  and  after  a  time  the  excitement 
subsided. 

"  About  the  same  time,  in  the  same  district,  occurred  a  severe  case  of  persecu- 
tion of  one  of  our  Christian  families.  The  clan  to  which  this  family  belonged 
had  long  threatened  to  punish  them  for  not  contributing  toward  idolatrous 
theatricals  and  processions,  and  they  chose  this  time  for  putting  their  threat 
into  execution.  Rut  with  the  assistance  of  Mr.  Fowler,  the  United  States 
Consul,  the  persecutors  were  compelled  to  pay  damages  to  the  church  mem- 
ber, make  a  small  feast  to  the  neighbors  in  his  honor,  and  sign  a  paper 
promising  that  they  would  not  again  demand  money  from  Christians  for  these 
purposes." 

Churches,  Outstations,  Evangelistic  Work- — The  Ningpo  church 
has  prospered.  During  the  year  there  have  been  twenty  additions 
on  profession  of  faith.  Eight  of  these  were  from  the  Girls'  Board- 
ing-School and  six  from  the  Presbyterial  Academy.  There  are  nine 
hopeful  inquirers.  The  church  now  numbers  154  members,  and  its 
contributions  amount  to  $191.  With  this  amount  it  supports  its 
pastor,  helps  the  poor,  and  assists  in  various  good  causes.  The  Sun- 
day-school numbers  about  100,  of  whom  40  are  adults.  There  are  ten 
classes  taught  by  native  teachers.  The  lessons  for  the  present  year  are 
from  the  book  of  Exodus. 

There  is  a  small  church  at  Kao-gyiao,  eight  miles  west  of  Ningpo, 
and  eight  miles  east  of  Ningpo  is  the  Bao-ko-t'ah  church,  numbering 
83  members,  and  being  two-thirds  self-supporting.     This  church  is  in 


58  CENTRAL   CHINA — NINGPO. 

the  centre  of  a  large  country  population,  and  is  surrounded  by  large 
towns  and  villages.  In  this  large  field  last  spring  Mr.  and  Mrs. 
Partch,  together  with  native  preachers  and  Bible-readers,  carried  on 
special  evangelistic  work  for  a  time,  and  met  with  great  encouragement 
in  the  readiness  of  the  people  to  listen. 

Yii-yao  church,  forty  miles  northwest  of  Ningpo,  has  been  blessed 
in  the  addition  of  eight  members  by  profession  of  faith.  Two  of  the 
number,  a  man  and  wife  of  seventy  years  of  age,  were  members  of  the 
Tea.  or  Do-nothing  sect,  and  had  under  a  solemn  vow  abstained  from 
animal  food  for  twenty  years.  After  four  or  five  years  of  inquiring 
and  hesitating  this  aged  couple  have  been  enabled  by  God's  Spirit  to 
renounce  the  false  and  embrace  the  true  religion.  # 

At  quite  a  number  of  places  in  the  country,  especially  in  the  Saen- 
poh  district,  there  are  churches.  Medical  work  and  evangelistic  work 
have  been  carried  on  together.  Last  spring  four  native  preachers  and 
our  two  native  physicians,  accompanied  by  the  writer,  went  to  this 
district,  and  the  natives  were  divided  into  two  bands,  each  consisting 
of  a  physician  and  two  preachers.  One  band  was  stationed  in  the 
city  of  Tong-yiang,  having  about  15,000  inhabitants,  and  the  other  in 
Nyi-u,  a  city  of  about  8,000  inhabitants.  Much  interest  was  aroused. 
The  work  had  its  difficulties,  however.  In  one  place  it  came  from 
the  old  charge  of  grave  desecration.  At  another,  in  some  other  way. 
For  example,  at  one  time  a  patient,  observing  that  nearly  all  the 
other  patients  received  tinctures  while  he  was  given  pills,  concluded 
that  he  was  not  fairly  treated,  and,  seizing  a  good  opportunity,  he 
swallowed  part  of  the  contents  of  a  bottle  of  poisonous  medicine.  He 
was  discovered  in  a  dying  condition,  but  still  able  to  tell  the  physician 
what  he  had  done.  An  antidote  was  administered,  and  his  life  was 
saved.  Had  he  died  there  is  little  or  no  doubt  that  his  relatives  would 
have  made  false  charges  against  the  physician,  and  might  have  caused 
us  much  trouble  and  injur)'. 

In  every  place  where  this  special  medical  and  evangelistic  work  has 
been  carried  on  for  a  time  a  new  interest  in  the  Gospel  is  reported. 
Many  who  have  received  physical  healing  show  deep  gratitude  and  in- 
terest, and  it  is  our  conviction  that,  on  the  whole,  the  medical  work 
wins  friends  and  is  a  help  to  the  preaching.  The  two  native  young 
men  in  charge  of  the  work  have  shown  themselves  discreet  and  skillful 
in  the  practice  of  medicine,  and  they  seem  fully  as  earnest  in  preach- 
ing the  Gospel  as  any  of  the  preachers. 

Bible-Readers.  —  During  eight  months  of  the  year  four  of  these 
labored  in  Ningpo  and  suburbs,  one  in  the  bounds  of  Bao-ko-t'ah 
church,  and  two  in  Yii-yao  and  its  suburbs.  In  the  spring  and 
autumn  they  are  sent  out  two-and-two  to  work  in  the  bounds  of  other 
churches.  The  work  of  itineration,  which  at  first  was  so  distasteful 
to,  and  difficult  for,  these  women,  is  now  becoming  to  them  so  con- 
genial that  we  almost  fear  their  zeal  in  this  direction  is  surpassing 
that  of  the  male  preachers.  Two  or  three  new  members  in  Ningpo 
church  are  regarded  as  the  fruits  of  the  Bible-readers'  labors. 

The    Womaris  Industrial  Class. — Mr.  McKee  says  in  his  report  : 
"This  class  for  heathen  women  has  met  as  usual  weekly  through  the  year 


CENTRAL   CHINA — NINGPO.  59 

The  attendance  has  not  been  large,  but  the  few  who  attend  regularly  show 
the  benefits  of  continued  systematic  religious  instruction.  Last  summer  one 
member  of  the  class,  after  satisfactory  examination,  was  received  into  the 
church.  She  is  a  woman  of  unusual  ability,  and  being  a  widow  with  two  sons, 
supports  her  family  by  sewing.  When  she  embraced  Christianity  she  de- 
stroyed papers  over  which  she  had  chanted  prayers  for  years,  making  them,  as 
she  had  supposed,  of  almost  inestimable  value  in  the  future  world,  and  had  she 
chosen  to  sell  them  to  heathen  she  might  have  been  some  dollars  richer." 

Schools. — The  Presbyterial  Academy  continues  to  be  well  patron- 
ized, there  being  thirty-two  enrolled — twenty-nine  boarders  and  three 
day  pupils.  More  than  this  number  could  hardly  be  accommodated. 
There  is  a  good  spiritual  interest.  Six  of  the  pupils  united  with  the 
church,  and  there  are  three  inquirers.  There  are  now  eleven  commu- 
nicants. A  weekly  prayer-meeting,  something  after  the  nature  of  a 
Christian  Endeavor  Society,  is  kept  up  by  the  older  boys.  One  of  the 
young  men  who  graduates  this  year  is  to  be  taken  on  as  a  day-school 
teacher,  and  we  trust  the  way  may  be  opened  for  him  to  study  for  the 
ministry.  He  is  an  earnest  Christian,  belonging  to  the  fourth  genera- 
tion of  an  eminently  pious  family,  the  Lu  family. 

The  Ningpo  Boys'  Day-School  has  twenty  pupils  enrolled.  Three 
of  the  pupils  have  been  promoted  to  the  Presbyterial  Academy.  Of 
the  present  number  all  except  one  are  the  children  of  heathen. 

The  Bao-ko  t'ah  Boys'  Day-School  numbers  fifteen  pupils,  all  the 
children  of  heathen,  except  two.  The  teacher  of  this  school  has  done 
faithful  work,  both  in  the  school  and  in  preaching  the  Gospel.  He 
desires  to  enter  the  ministry,  and  he  is  to  be  tried  next  year  as  a 
helper,  that  he  may  give  himself  to  evangelistic  work. 

The  Yii-yao  Boys'  Day-School  has  sixteen  pupils.  The  teacher  is 
young  and  inexperienced,  but  pastor  Bao  is  as  a  father  to  both  teacher 
and  pupils,  and  their  spiritual  interests  are  not  neglected. 

The  Ningpo  Girls'  Day-School  has  been  continued  under  the  same 
teacher,  a  graduate  of  the  Girls'  Boarding-School.  There  are  thirteen 
pupils  enrolled.  Miss  Morton,  after  a  year's  faithful  study  of  the  lan- 
guage, is  able  to  take  full  charge  of  the  Girls'  Boarding-School,  and 
the  school  is  flourishing  under  her  care. 

Work  among  the  Women. — Mrs.  Butier  has  been  establishing  and 
superintending  girls'  day-schools.  She  superintends  three  Bible- 
readers,  using  one  to  assist  in  teaching  the  Christian  woman's  class, 
and  the  other  two  to  visit  from  house  to  house  in  Yii-yao  and  vicinity. 
Mrs.  Partch  retains  three  Bible-readers  and  continues  in  charge  of  the 
Ningpo  Girls'  Day-School.  Mrs.  McK.ee  has  taken  charge  of  the 
Woman's  Industrial  Class,  and  uses  the  remaining  Bible-reader  to 
assist  in  conducting  the  class  and  visiting  heathen  homes  in  Ningpo 
City. 

A  new  feature  in  the  work  of  the  station  is  a  mothers'  meeting  con- 
ducted by  Mrs.  McKee.  The  want  of  such  a  meeting  has  long  been 
felt,  but  it  is  only  recently  that  the  way  has  been  opened  to  start  it. 
The  women  highly  appreciate  the  meeting,  and  the  attendance  is 
gratifyingly  good.  Those  who  have  small  children  who  cannot  be  left, 
are  encouraged  to  bring  them  with  them,  and  the  presence  of  these, 
so  far  from  being  a  hindrance  to  the  meeting,  are  only  an  inspiration 


60  CENTRAL   CHINA — NINGPO. 

to  the  prayer  of  faith  unto  Him  who  said,  "  Suffer  little  children  to  come 
unto  me,"  Each  member  signs  a  pledge  to  pray  for  her  own  and  the 
children  of  the  ot;ier  members,  to  try  to  train  them  for  God  and  set 
them  a  godly  example. 

Girls  Boarding-School. — Mrs.  Butler  reports  : 

"  It  was  not  without  a  tinge  of  regret  that  I  turned  over  to  another  the  care 
of  the  school,  for  although  there  are  many  trials  and  responsibilities  connected 
with  this  work,  there  are  also  many  privileges,  and  not  a  few  joys  and  pleas- 
ures. These  duties  and  responsibilities  now  rest  upon  Miss  Morton  as  super- 
intendent. May  she  be  greatly  blessed  in  the  work  and  have  the  joy  and 
privilege  of  gathering  the  fruit  of  her  labors  ! 

"  The  school  roll  for  the  year  numbered  51  names  ;  the  largest  number  in 
attendance  at  any  time  was  42,  the  smallest  33,  and  the  average  for  the  last 
term  was  40. 

"  The  matron,  Mrs.  Lee,  who  had  served  faithfully  in  the  school  for  more 
than  ten  years,  was  compelled,  on  account  of  her  failing  health,  to  resign  her 
position  about  the  1st  of  December.  She  went  to  make  her  home  with  her 
daughter  in  Soochow,  and  died  very  suddenly  and  unexpectedly  a  few  months 
later.  Her  work  will  tell  in  growing  families  for  years  to  come,  as  mothers 
tell  their  children  of  their  school-days  and  good  Mrs.  Lee's  work,  in  precept 
and  practice,  during  her  connection  with  the  Ningpo  school. 

"  For  several  weeks  during  the  autumn,  the  school  was  more  a  hospital  than 
anything  else  ;  influenza  ran  its  course  amongst  the  girls  ;  ten  were  at  one  time 
confined  to  bed  with  it,  and  sixteen  were  at  the  same  time  under  treatment  for 
ophthalmia. 

"  We  had  mumps,  whooping-cough,  sore-throat,  an  epidemic  of  a  feverish 
rash,  and  also  our  old  enemies,  malarial  fever  and  ague.  Eighteen  of  the 
fifty-one  girls  were  professing  Christians.  Of  these,  eight  were  received  into 
the  church  during  the  last  term,  and  still  another  should  have  been,  but  was 
deterred  from  making  a  public  confession  on  account  of  an  illness.  Of  those 
received  into  the  church,  several  gave  unusual  evidence  of  a  changed  life,  and 
all  seemed  to  earnestly  strive  by  walk  and  conversation  to  show  that  they  were 
followers  of  Jesus." 

Mrs.  Butler  writes  pleasantly  : 

"  One  source  of  pleasure  to  me  in  this  last  term  of  my  work  in  the  school 
was  that  the  girls  gave  me  their  confidence  almost  unreservedly.  Those  who 
left  during  the  school  year  write  to  me  in  the  most  filial  and  confidential  way 
of  their  trials  and  difficulties,  and  confess  with  sorrow  their  lack  of  appreciation 
as  to  their  advantages  while  attending  the  school  ;  many  things  they  then  con- 
sidered hardships  they  can  now  see  were  for  their  advantage  and  for  their  good 
in  the  battle  against  evil. 

"  Some  of  the  girls  write  to  me  of  unusual  trials  in  their  home  life.  '  My 
parents  are  Christians,'  says  one,  'but  there  is  constant  strife  and  contention 
in  my  home.  Pray  for  my  parents  and  for  me  that  I  may  so  love  Christ  as  to 
show  them  how  Christians  should  act.'  Another  says,  'Oh  that  I  were  still  in 
the  school,  and  might  again  hear  my  "  teacher  mother's  "  voice. and  see  her 
face.  In  my  own  home,  now  that  my  mother  has  gone  to  heaven,  all  are 
heathen  and  despise  the  religion  of  Jesus.  My  father,  brothers,  and  sister-in- 
law  combine  to  destroy  my  faith.  My  father  will  not  consent  to  my  going  to 
the  Sabbath  worship.  He  says  it  is  disgraceful  for  a  young  miss  of  nineteen 
to  go  out ;  so  I  cannot  even  meet  to  worship  with  God's  people.  I  am  so  un- 
happy in  my  home.  Oh,  pray  for  me  that  my  faith  fail  not ! '  Still  another 
writes  to  tell  of  her  unhappy  marriage,  and  the  wicked  and  dissipated  habits  of 
her  husband.  'Ah,  how  happy  was  my  school  life  !  Now  I  can  only  live  in 
fear  and  dread,  and  have  not  wherewith  to  protect  me  from  the  winter's  cold, 
or  to  nourish  my  life.'  Another,  living  at  Nanking,  writes  to  tell  me  of  the 
troublous  times  there,  and  that  in  the  midst  of  all  the  fear  and  anxiety  she  has 


CENTRAL  CHINA — NINGPO.  61 

heart-peace,  for  she  trusts  in  Jesus.  '  I  know  that  Jesus  my  Lord  cares  for 
me,  and  harm  cannot  come  to  me  except  He  wills  it  should.  Even  though 
they  burn  our  house  and  send  us  out  as  wanderers,  I  will  not  deny  that  I  am  a 
Christian.'  I  must  not  take  more  time  to  add  to  these  glimpses  into  the  home- 
life  of  the  girls  who  leave  us,  but  hope  these  few  instances  will  serve  to  show 
you  some  of  their  trials,  and  enable  you  to  see  that  they  need  your  prayers  and 
sympathy,  as  much,  if  not  more,  after  leaving  the  school,  as  when  under  our 
care. 

"Our  great  aim  and  desire  is  to  so  train  the  girls  in  our  care  as  to  enable 
them  to  make  happy  Christian  homes.  No  better  work  can  be  done  for  China 
than  to  send  out  from  our  schools  Christian  girls  who  as  wives  and  mothers 
will  show  what  true  home-life  is  ;  and  in  this  sphere  each  girl  should  be  a 
shining  light.  The  majority  of  them  will  find  their  life-service  for  the  Master 
to  consist  of  ruling  well  their  own  households  and  training  their  children  in  the 
knowledge  and  fear  of  the  Lord.  Comparatively  few  of  them  will  doubtless 
be  called  to  active  work  amongst  their  own  people  as  teachers  and  Bible- 
women,  and  we  shall  be  thankful  that  they  can  so  labor  for  the  Master  ;  but 
we  can  ask  nothing  better  for  them  than  that  they  faithfully  show  forth  the 
Gospel  in  their  own  homes,  and  that  they  walk  worthy  of  the  name  they 
bear — that  Blessed  Name  '  "

CHINA— PEKING.  63 


Peking  Mission. 

Peking  :  the  capital  of  the  country  ;  occupied  as  a  mission  station,  1863 ;  missionary 
laborers— Rev.  and  Mrs.  John  Wherry,  Rev.  and  Mrs.  A.  M.  Cunningham,  Rev.  J.  N. 
Young,  B.  C.  Atterbury,  M.D.,  and  wife,  G.  Y.  Taylor,  M.D.,  Miss  Grace  Newton, 
Miss  Marion  E.  Sinclair,  M.D.,  and  Miss  Jennie  McKillican. 

/;;  this  country :  Rev.  and  Mrs.  J.  L.  Whiting,  Rev.  J.  W.  Lowrie,  Rev.  W.  M. 
Langdon,  and  Mrs.  Reuben  Lowrie. 

Peking,  the  imperial  capital,  lying  in  the  latitude  of  Philadelphia, 
includes  within  its  walls  an  area  of  twenty-seven  square  miles,  and  has 
a  population  of  about  two  millions.  It  consists  of  three  cities.  The 
southern  is  occupied  by  pure  Chinamen,  the  northern  by  descendants 
of  the  Tartars  ;  and  within  this  is  the  forbidden  or  imperial  city,  sur- 
rounded by  a  high  wall,  and  a  moat,  forty  feet  wide,  filled  with  water. 
As  Peking  is  the  educational  centre  of  China,  an  opportunity  is  here 
presented  to  meet  and  influence  men  from  every  part  of  the  empire. 
Fortunately  there  were  no  such  disturbances  and  turmoils  in  the  city 
of  Peking,  as  harassed  the  missionaries  in  the  Central  China  Mission, 
although  of  course  rumors  of  troubles  and  the  consequent  uneasiness 
were  not  escaped.  Dr.  Atterbury  wrote  in  December :  ''  Here  in 
Peking  we  are  now  having  our  anxieties  as  to  the  troubles  and  riots 
which  have  been  and  are  still  springing  up  all  over  China.  Before 
the  last  two  weeks,  all  we  had  to  think  about  was  the  fears  of  others 
in  the  South  ;  but  now  fresh  disorders  have  broken  out  much  nearer 
home.  At  two  points  in  Manchuria,  bands  of  rebels  are  burning  and 
looting  everything  they  can  reach.  The  point  further  north  is  near 
the  Amon  River,  and  is  not,  of  course,  very  near  Peking.  In  Lower 
Manchuria  and  the  upper  portion  of  this  Province,  there  is  really 
serious  trouble.  The  Chinese  authorities  are  greatly  alarmed  because 
so  near  the  capital.  Troops  are  being  sent  forward  from  Tientsin 
and  this  place,  but  as  yet,  little  definite  news  is  known.  Many  vil- 
lages have  been  pillaged,  several  hundred  of  Roman  Catholics  killed, 
and  other  damage  done;  but  beyond  this,  just  what  is  the  state  of 
affairs,  how  strong  are  the  rebels  or  what  their  intentions  are,  is 
uncertain." 

No  active  outbreak,  however,  occurred  at  Peking.  The  mission- 
aries were  undisturbed  in  their  work,  only  the  general  restlessness 
showed  itself  in  more  than  usual  indifference  to  the  Gospel. 

The  mission  has  been  seriously  crippled  during  part  of  the  year  by 
the  loss  of  Mrs  Reuben  Lowrie,  and  Revs.  VV.  M.  Langdon,  J.  W. 
Lowrie,  and  J.  L.  Whiting.  Mr.  Langdon's  return  to  America  in  the 
spring  was  made  necessary  by  continued  ill  health,  that  unfitted  him 
for  regular  work  of  any  kind.  Mr.  Lowrie's  dangerous  illness  in 
April  and  May  merely  hastened  his  return  on  furlough,  after  eight  years 
of  service  on  the  field.  During  the  last  two  years  his  labors  as  super- 
intendent of  the  day-school  for  boys — in  both  city  and  country — to- 
gether with  the  charge  of  the  boys'  boarding-school,  had  been  specially 
arduous.  Mr.  Whiting's  furlough  was  already  overdue,  and  he  felt 
unable  to  postpone  longer  his  return  home. 

The  arrival  of  J.  Newton  Young  gives  promise  of  future  help,  when

he  shall  have  mastered  the  language,  but  the  mission  urgently  needs 
further  reinforcement  for  the  prosecution  of  work  already  undertaken. 

Country  Work. — The  most  encouraging  work  of  the  year  has  been 
that  in  the  San  Ho  district.  An  interesting  work  was  begun  here  over 
a  year  ago  through  the  influence  of  a  peanut  peddler  who  had  strayed 
into  a  street-chapel  in  Peking,  and  had  heard  there  what  was  a  strange 
story  to  him,  of  salvation  and  joy  in  Jesus  Christ.  He  told  what  he 
had  heard  to  his  neighbors,  and  a  little  company  of  believers  was 
gathered.  Most  of  the  time  this  field  has  been  under  the  immediate 
care  of  native  evangelists,  three  of  the  native  helpers  taking  the 
charge  in  town,  while  Mr.  Whiting  has  made  several  protracted  visits, 
during  which  he  gave  special  attention  to  the  systematic  instruction  of 
inquirers  able  to  read.  Miss  Newton  and  Dr.  Sinclair  conducted  in- 
quirers' classes  for  women  during  two  weeks  at  the  Chinese  New  Year, 
Miss  Newton  returning  later  for  another  visit  of  three  weeks  ;  and 
Miss  McKillican  spent  nine  weeks  teaching  the  women  in  classes  and 
visiting  from  village  to  village.  Altogether  about  fifty  women  were 
under  instruction  with  most  gratifying  results.  Forty- five  persons 
have  been  baptized  in  this  district  within  little  more  than  a  year,  and 
there  is  still  a  widespread  interest.  The  mission  deeply  regrets  that 
the  lack  of  workers  prevents  its  accepting  more  fully  this  great  oppor- 
tunity. Miss  McKillican  also  spent  about  three  weeks  visiting  other 
villages  north  and  south  of  Peking.  It  is  important  that  the  work  in 
the  country  districts  should  be  prosecuted  earnestly.  These  people 
have  souls.  They  are  in  need  of  the  Gospel.  The  influence  of  work 
among  them  will  react  upon  the  work  in  the  city.  Moreover,  gener- 
ally, in  the  mission  fields  gains  have  been  made  most  largely  in  com- 
munities not  massed  as  cities  are. 

Street  Chapel  Preaching. — For  the  preaching  services  in  the  street 
chapel,  the  latter  part  of  the  year  the  mission  has  been  obliged  to  de- 
pend more  than  usual  upon  the  native  helpers,  Mr.  Whiting  being 
absent  from  the  city  much  of  the  time,  and  Mr.  Wherry  having  new 
duties  as  a  member  of  the  committee  for  re-translating  the  Bible  into 
high  classical  Chinese.  This  latter  work  required  Mr.  Wherry's  pres- 
ence in  Shanghai  the  month  of  November,  and  hereafter  will  demand 
much  more  of  his  time.  Chapel  preaching,  which  is  well  attended 
at  Peking,  has  been  regarded  as  a  satisfactory  method  of  work,  since 
it  reaches  not  only  those  in  the  neighborhood,  but  many  from  the 
country  and  from  other  cities.  A  chapel  is  a  seed-planting  institution. 
The  seed  must  be  watered  and  cared  for  in  other  ways,  but  chapel 
preaching  scatters  it  far  and  wide. 

Churches. — The  condition  of  the  three  churches  within  the  bounds 
of  the  mission  is  not  altogether  favorable,  although  two  of  them  have 
made  gains  since  the  last  report,  and  the  Peking  Second  Church  has 
paid  nearly  half  the  salary  of  its  native  pastor. 

Boar  ding-Schools. — The  boarding-schools  are  both  flourishing,  the 
boys'  school  having  thirty-five  on  its  roll,  and  the  girls'  school  thirty- 
two.  Since  the  beginning  of  Mr.  Lowrie's  illness  in  the  spring  Mr. 
Wherry  has  had  the  general  management  of  the  boys'  school  and  Dr. 
Atterbury  has  attended  to  the  accounts.     Mr.  Cunningham,  while  un- 


CHINA — PEKING.  65 

able  as  yet  to  take  part  in  the  teaching,  and  being  very  busy  with  his 
own  studies,  has  exercised  supervision  of  lhe  general  order  and  dis- 
cipline of  the  school  since  its  reopening  in  September.  Sixteen  of  the 
pupils  are  church  members. 

Miss  Newton  reports  the  year  in  the  girls'  boarding-school  as  ex- 
ceptionally quiet  and  peaceful.  "  There  has  been  no  special  religious 
interest,  though  there  has  been  a  healthy  religious  feeling,  manifested 
by  a  more  sensitive  conscientiousness,  greater  earnestness  in  prayer- 
meetings,  more  diligence  in  study,  and  unusual  freedom  from  quarrel- 
ling and  jealousy.  Only  seven  or  eight  of  the  pupils  are  from  heathen 
homes,  and  eleven  are  professing  Christians."  The  young  assistant 
teacher — a  graduate  of  the  school — has  done  her  duty  faithfully,  hav- 
ing the  respect  of  all  the  pupils.  She  is  also  organist  of  the  First 
Church.  The  rule  of  giving  no  clothing  to  girls  has  been  in  force 
throughout  the  year,  and  seems  to  be  working  well.  Each  scholar  is 
required  to  be  provided  with  a  sufficient  amount. of  decent  clothing  of 
her  own  before  she  is  admitted  to  the  school  ;  and  the  Chinese  find  it 
hard  to  live  up  to  this  rule.  During  the  intense  heat  last  September, 
when  the  school  opened,  three  of  the  older  girls  walked  back  to  the 
school  from  their  homes  in  the  country — a  distance  of  140  miles — 
their  fathers,  two  elderly  men,  walking  with  them  and  canning  their 
bundles.  Two  of  the  older  girls  accompanied  Miss  Newton  to  San 
Ho  in  the  spring,  and  were  of  great  assistance  in  teaching  the  women. 

Day-Schools. — There  are  two  day-schools  for  girls  in  the  city,  under 
Miss  McKillican's  charge,  having  twenty -five  pupils.  One  is  taught 
by  a  very  capable  young  woman  ;  the  other  by  a  not  very  capable  old 
lady.  Still,  under  Miss  McKillican's  careful  supervision,  the  old  lady 
does  fairly  good  work.  The  two  city  day-schools  for  boys  have  had 
eighteen  pupils,  while  that  at  Cheng  Chia  Chuang  has  had  ten.  Three 
Christian  teachers  in  the  San  Ho  district  have  made  the  study  of 
Christian  books  a  regular  part  of  school  duties  for  all  boys  whose 
parents  are  willing  to  have  them  do  that  work.  Nine  boys  are  so 
studying. 

Medical  Work. — An  advance  is  to  be  noted  in  the  medical  work. 
The  Woman's  Hospital,  which  was  established  at  our  western  compound 
in  the  autumn  of  1890,  is  becoming  better  known  and  increasing  in 
usefulness.  It  has  been  open  throughout  the  year,  with  the  excep- 
tion of  two  months  in  the  summer.  By  employing  a  native  woman 
assistant  Dr.  Sinclair  has  managed  to  free  Miss  McKilhcan  a  large 
part  of  the  time  for  visits  to  the  country  stations  and  other  work.  But 
with  the  increase  in  number  of  patients  that  is  to  be  expected,  this 
will  soon  cease  to  be  possible.  The  attendances  at  the  dispensary 
have  been  5,006,  and  in-patients  have  numbered  70.  A  large  ma- 
jority of  the  latter  have  been  surgical  cases. 

At  the  An  Ting  Hospital  in  the  eastern  compound  a  separate  wait- 
ing-room, with  a  Bible-woman  in  attendance,  under  Mrs.  Atterbury's 
direction,  is  provided  for  the  women  who  come  as  out-patients.  Of 
course  gynecological  cases  and  those  requiring  treatment  as  in-patients 
are  referred  to  the  other  hospital  ;  but  there  are  not  a  few  women  suf- 

5 


66  CHINA — PEKING. 

fering  from  ordinary  diseases  for  whom  the  distance  to  the  Woman's 
Hospital  is  too  great. 

The  regular  work  has  been  carried  on  as  in  previous  years.  The 
hospital  has  been  open  all  the  year,  receiving  at  its  two  city  dispensa- 
ries 22,203  visits  from  out-patients,  and  admitting  195  in-patients  to  its 
wards. 

The  opium  smokers  offer  an  especially  difficult  field.  They  de- 
mand both  firmness  and  patience.  The  Chinese  have  a  story  which 
well  illustrates  the  foolMiness  of  the  habit.  A  smoker,  having  wasted 
his  all  and  being  unable  further  to  gratify  his  appetite,  resolved  to 
find  some  means  to  have  just  one  more  smoke  and  then  kill  himself. 
On  the  street  he  met  a  man  crying  bitterly  On  asking  the  cause 
the  man  told  him  that  his  old  father  was  dying,  and  that  the  doctor 
had  prescribed  human  brains  as  the  only  medicine  which  could  save 
him.  Of  course  these  could  not  be  bought  and  the  son  was  in  despair. 
A  thought  struck  the  opium  smoker.  "  See  here,"  he  said  to  the 
other,  ''give  me  money  enough  for  one  good  smoke  and  you  can  have 
my  brains."  A  bargain  was  soon  made.  The  man  had  his  smoke, 
then  jumped  head  foremost  against  a  stone  wall.  The  buyer  of  human 
brains  rushed  eagerly  forward,  bowl  in  hand,  to  secure  what  was  to  re- 
store health  to  the  parent.  Alas  !  he  could  not  find  what  he  so  earn- 
estly desired,  for,  continues  the  story,  "opium  smokers  have  no 
brains." 

One  of  the  best  medical  students  died  of  phthisis  early  in  the  year ; 
two  have  begun  practice  for  themselves  at  their  homes  ;  and  one  left 
to  engage  in  evangelistic  work  fur  the  Church  of  England  mission,  to 
which  he  belonged.  Three  new  pupils  were  added — two  of  them 
graduates  from  our  boarding-school — thus  making  five  under  instruc- 
tion at  the  end  of  the  year. 

Four  country  dispensaries  have  been  maintained,  two  of  which  have 
been  visited  twice  monthly  and  the  other  two  once.  To  these  about 
3,000  visits  have  been  made  by  patients. 

Concerning  the  work  at  two  places  in  the  country,  the  report  of  the 
An  Ting  Hospital  says:  'The  experience  of  the  past  year  in 
country  work  has  justified  the  often-heard  saying  that  'in  China  the 
unexpected  always  happens.'  Last  year  we  chronicled  the  belief  that 
in  Kao-li-ying,  a  busy  market-town,  17  miles  north  of  Peking,  we  had 
secured  a  permanent  foothold  ;  while  of  Nin-lan-shan,  a  market-town 
10  miles  further  to  the  northeast,  evidently  much  doubt  was  felt. 
Confidence  and  fear  alike  have  proved  unfounded.  In  spite  of  sev- 
eral marked  successes  in  treatment  of  surgical  cases,  the  Kao-li-ying 
people  could  not  be  persuaded  that  our  science  possessed  anything  of 
value  to  them  ;  and  as  to  the  doctrines  taught  in  our  books  they  were 
convinced  of  their  dangerous  character.  Several  of  the  boys  in  the 
free  school  opened  in  our  rented  house,  declared  that  study  of  the 
catechism  made  their  heads  ache,  which  was  conclusive  evidence  to 
the  parents  that  there  was  something  vitally  wrong.  Consequently  all 
but  two  pupils  were  withdrawn  and  the  school  was  broken  up.  After 
being  maintained  a  year  and  a  half,  the  dispensary  was  abandoned  for 
lack  of  patients.     No  opposition  of  any  sort  was  ever  manifested  ;  we

were  simply  let  severely  alone.  At  Nin-lan-shan,  while  there  has  been 
no  great  advance,  we  have  never  been  entirely  without  patients,  and 
the  prospect  for  the  year  to  come  is  at  least  ab  bright  as  it  was  a  year

Inquirers. — With  the  aid  of  Mr.  Whiting  and  native  helpers,  Dr.  At- 

terbury  has  conducted  three  classes  of  inquirers  from  the  country  sta- 
tions, who  seemed  worthy  of  more  attention  than  could  be  given  them 
at  their  homes,  each  class  spending  three  or  four  weeks  in  the  city. 

Woman  s  Work. — Special  work  for  the  women  has  been  carried  on 
in  both  compounds  as  hitherto  by  Mrs.  Atterbury  and  Miss  Mc- 
Killican. 

Literary  Work. — As  one  of  the  publication  committee  of  the  North 
China  Tract  Society  Mr.  Wherry  has  had  much  to  do  in  the  way  of  criti- 
cising and  revising  tracts,  as  well  as  in  translating  the  Sunday-school 
lessons  that  are  in  general  use  throughout  North  China.  Mr.  Whiting 
also  has  been  engaged  upon  the  translation  of  several  religious  books. 

Personal. — Mr.  and  Mrs.  Cunningham  have  passed  their  first  ex- 
amination very  satisfactorily,  and  continue  to  give  most  of  their  time 
to  study  of  the  language.  Apart  from  Mr.  l.owrie's  serious  illness, 
already  alluded  to,  and  an  attack  of  varioloid,  from  which  Dr.  Sinclair 
suffered,  as  the  result  of  exposure  to  small-pox  while  at  San  Ho,  the 
health  of  the  mission  has  been  very  good,  although  China  was  not  ex- 
empted in  the  general  prevalence  of  influenza. 

It  is  earnestly  hoped  that  the  work  of  the  Peking  Mission  will  be 
developed  increasingly  along  evangelistic  lines,  and  that  the  growing 
work  of  the  hospital  may  lead  to  a  growing  presentation  and  accept- 
ance of  Christ.  The  force  of  the  mission  should  be  so  increased 
that  it  can  push  out  into  the  country,  found  new  outstations,  and 
spread  the  light  of  the  Gospel  widely  through  Northern  China.

The  past  year  in  the  Shantung  Mission  has  been  one  of  the  most 
auspicious  in  all  its  history,  following  close  upon  the  famine  distress 
of  the  year  before.  The  labors  of  the  missionaries  and  native  assist- 
ants in  the  interior  cities  and  villages  have  met  with  an  unusual  re- 
sponse on  the  part  of  the  people.  The  increased  interest  has  been 
shown  :  (1)  in  the  number  of  little  communities  which  have  sought  for 
teachers  of  the  truth  for  the  opening  of  little  schools  ;  (2)  by  the 
great  number  of  specific  and  earnest  inquirers  who  desire  to  learn 
more  concerning  the  "Jesus  religion";  (3)  by  the  large  numbers 
who  have  been  received  into  the  communion  of  the  churches,  forming 
a  total  of  over  seven  hundred  persons ;  (4)  in  the  diligence  of  the 
native  preachers  and  teachers  in  acquiring  increased  knowledge  in  the 
theological  training  classes,  and  in  the  normal  classes  for  teachers ; 
(5)  in  the  greatly  enlarged  contributions  of  the  people  out  of  their 
extreme  poverty  for  the  prosecution  of  the  various  lines  of  Christian 
work.* 

While  the  mission  rejoices  in  all  these  tokens  of  spiritual  thrift,  it 
is  not  to  be  denied  that  there  have  been  cases  in  which  a  mercenary 
spirit  or  a  listless  inattention  has  marred  the  otherwise  favorable  im- 
pression made  upon  their  crafty  hearts. 

In  addition  to  these  spiritual  blessings  the  Shantung  Mission  has 
had  great  reason  to  rejoice  in  the  providential  overruling  ot  the  polit- 
ical disturbances  which  have  marked  the  past  year  in  China.  The 
enemies  of  Christianity  in  all  parts  of  the  world  were  for  a  time  loud 
in  their  criticism  of  the  work  of  missions,  charging  upon  it  the  re- 
sponsibility of  alienating  the  people  of  China  ;  and  predictions  were  rife 
that  the  mission  enterprises  would  be  brought  to  a  close.    The  friends 

*  The  reported  contributions  of  last  year  for  the  Wei  Hien  station  ($1,115) 
is  an  error.     The  amount  should  have  been  $115.50. 


CHINA — TUNGCHOW.  69 

of  missions  also  in  various  parts  of  our  own  country  were  greatly  dis- 
turbed by  fears  of  danger  to  their  beloved  friends  on  the  field.  But  it 
became  evident  in  time  that  the  riots  were  instigated  largely  by  polit- 
ical motives,  by  a  desire  to  involve  the  Chinese  Government  in  com- 
plications with  foreign  powers,  and  thus  at  length  overthrow  the  pres- 
ent dynasty.  The  sagacity  of  the  Government  seemed  to  rise  supe- 
rior to  all  such  plans,  and  for  the  first  time  in  the  history  of  missions 
in  China,  an  imperial  edict  was  issued,  declaring  that  the  charges 
made  against  missionaries  were  untrue  ;  that  instead  of  having  sought 
the  destruction  of  the  people,  missionaries  were  teachers  of  virtue  and 
advocates  of  peace  and  order ;  that  their  influence  was  good,  and 
that  they  must  be  protected  in  life  and  property.  Never  before  in  the 
providence  of  God  has  the  attitude  of  the  Government  of  China  been 
so  favorable  as  now.  In  pursuance  of  this  general  edict,  orders  were 
issued  from  Peking  to  the  local  governors  in  the  different  provinces, 
calling  for  the  thorough  protection  of  missionaries  and  the  extension 
to  them  of  such  privileges  as  might  be  required  for  the  quiet  prose- 
cution of  their  work.  Rev.  Gilbert  Reid,  who  was  chiefly  instru- 
mental on  behalf  of  the  mission  in  bringing  about  the  purchase  of 
property  which  had  long  been  resisted  at  Chinanfu,  and  the  establish- 
ment of  a  station  at  Chi  Ning  Chow,  where  our  missionaries  had  been 
mobbed,  sums  up  the  results  of  efforts  made  with  the  Government  as 
follows:  (1)  Ptoclamations  have  been  secured  from  the  local  magis- 
trates for  the  protection  of  the  missionaries  and  mission  property. 
(2)  The  difficulties  at  Chi  Ning  Chow  have  been  satisfactorily  settled. 
Two  special  deputies  were  sent  to  meet  Mr.  Reid  and  adjust  the  se- 
curing of  property,  etc.  The  missionaries  even  received  presents  from 
the  official?,  guarantees  being  at  the  same  time  made  for  future  pro- 
tection. (3)  Property  has  been  secured  for  the  erection  of  buildings 
at  Chinanfu. 

Some  changes  have  occurred  in  the  mission,  namely,  the  return  of 
Dr.  Hunter  and  family,  Rev.  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Bergen,  and  Dr.  and  Mrs. 
Neal.  Meanwhile,  Dr.  and  Mrs.  Coltman  have  returned  to  their  field. 
With  the  exception  of  the  few  particular  instances  mentioned  below 
the  health  of  the  mission  has  been  good. 

Tungchow. 

The  absence  of  Dr.  and  Mrs.  C.  W.  Mateer  from  Tungchow  for  a 
part  of  the  year  has  been  greatly  felt.  Dr.  Mateer  has  been 
devoting  himself,  with  the  sanction  of  the  mission  and  the  Board,  to 
the  publication  of  certain  important  works  in  the  Mandarin  language, 
upon  which  he  has  spent  years  of  labor.  He  is  also  chairman  of  a 
committee  appointed  by  the  Missionary  Conference  of  1890  to  trans- 
late the  Bible  into  Mandarin.  In  the  spring  of  1891  he  began  to 
teach  Evidences  of  Christianity  to  the  young  men  at  the  Tungchow 
College,  but  was  obliged  to  relinquish  it.  He  kept  up  his  general 
supervision  of  the  College  until  November,  when  he  moved  to  Shang- 
hai. Mrs.  Mateer,  besides  looking  after  the  domestic  airangements 
of  the  College,  especially  the  sick  students,  had  charge  also  of  the 
Girls'  High-School. 


yo  CHINA — TUNGCHOW. 

She  also  revised  her  Principles  of  Vocal  Music.  She  also  taught  a 
class  in  singing.  The  report  of  the  College  says.  "  Without  detracting 
from  her  other  labors  it  may  be  truly  said  that  the  influence  which 
Mrs.  Mateer  has  thus  exerted  over  the  young  men  who  have  gone  out 
from  this  institution,  has  been  one  of  the  most  valuable  parts  of  their 
education." 

The  heavy  burdens  and  responsibilities  of  the  Tungchow  College 
have  now  devolved  upon  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Hayes,  and  Mr.  and  Mrs. 
Groves. 

The  senior  missionary  now  at  the  station^,  Dr.  Mills,  has  during  the 
year  preached  regularly  in  the  chapel  at  Tungchow.  He  has  also 
been  able,  notwithstanding  illness  in  his  family,  to  do  something  in  the 
way  of  itineration.  Mrs.  Mills  has  been  prevented  by  family  duties 
from  doing  much  missionary  work  except  in  the  teaching  in  the  Sab- 
bath-school and  in  the  instruction  given  to  a  little  class  of  deaf-mutes. 
Although  a  leave  of  absence  had  been  granted  Dr.  and  Mrs.  Mills, 
they  have  remained  on  the  field  and  at  their  work.  Under  Dr.  Mills' 
care  Mr.  Tso  Li  Wen,  a  native  preacher,  has  labored  in  two  small 
churches  in  the  country.  Through  his  effort  and  that  of  his  wife,  18 
persons  have  been  hopefully  converted  and  baptized.  These  native 
Christians  who  have  been  won  to  the  Cross  in  what  is  known  as  the 
Ping  Tu  district,  have  been  subjected  to  persecution  in  the  loss  of 
property,  which  was  destroyed  by  incendiary  fires.  Steps  have  been 
taken  to  secure  indemnity  through  the  American  Consul  at  Chefoo. 

The  work  of  Rev.  W.  M.  Hayes  as  senior  professor  in  the  College 
is  spoken  of  in  high  terms  by  his  associate  missionaries,  his  general 
oversight  of  many  forms  of  work,  his  fidelity  in  the  class-room  and 
elsewhere.  In  addition  to  instruction  given,  he  has  prepared  a  com- 
mon school  astronomy,  which  is  now  in  the  hands  of  the  printer.  He 
has  also  translated  the  Introduction  to  the  Loomis  Logarithmic  Tables 
During  the  summer  vacation  he  superintended  the  building  of  a  new 
kitchen  and  two  dormitories  to  the  College.  He  has  also  been  the 
station  treasurer.  Mrs.  Hayes,  during  the  first  half  of  the  year,  in 
addition  to  her  family  cares,  had  classes  in  geography  and  New  Testa- 
ment history,  and  looked  after  the  commissariat  of  the  College.  Dur- 
ing the  latter  part  of  the  year  the  condition  of  her  health  compelled 
her  to  relinquish  these  cares. 

Mrs.  Ritchie  has  been  actively  and  earnestly  engaged  in  study  and 
in  teaching.  She  has  had  two  classes  in  the  College,  has  finished 
reading  the  New  Testament  in  Mandarin,  and  has  pursued  other  lines 
of  Chinese  study.  She  has  also  spent  some  time  in  preparing  a  sacred 
geography.  She  has  succeeded  Mrs.  Mateer  in  the  general  oversight 
of  the  College  matronship,  and  has  taken  entire  charge  of  the  College 
accounts.  She  has  had  a  class,  also,  in  Sunday-school,  and  has  shared 
in  leading  the  women's  prayer-meetings. 

Mr.  and  Mrs.  Lane  arrived  in  Tungchow  in  September,  and  took 
charge  of  the  G.rls'  School.  Mr.  Lane  made  a  two  weeks'  itinera'ing 
tour  in  October.  A  large  part  of  their  time  has  been  spent  in  learn- 
ing  the   language.     They  are  looking  forward  with  high  hope  to  the 


CHINA — CHEFOO.  J\ 

work  assigned  them  by  the  mission  at  the  new  station  of  Chi  Ning 
Chow. 

Mr.  and  Mrs.  Groves  arrived  from  America  early  in  the  autumn,  and 
commenced  vigorously  the  study  of  the  language.  In  December 
th'-y  passed  their  first  quarterly  examination  with  much  credit. 

Dr.  and  Mrs.  Van  Schoick  came  from  Chinanfu  about  the  first  of 
May,  and  remained  till  the  middle  of  November,  studying  the  lan- 
guage, Dr.  Van  Schoick  superintending  the  dispensary  and  hospital, 
besides  caring  for  the  health  of  the  missionaries  in  the  absence  of  Dr. 
Coltman,  who  has  recently  returned  to  his  field. 

The  general  health  of  the  mission  has  been  good. 

Tungchow  College. 

While  much  of  the  work  in  this  institution  has  been  set  forth  in 
individual  reports,  it  should  be  said  in  general  that  the  institution  has 
been  prosperous  to  a  gratifying  degree.  The  number  of  students  en- 
rolled during  the  year  was  98,  and  the  average  attendance  94. 
As  the  college  draws  its  students  more  and  more  from  schools  at 
Chefoo,  Chinanfu,  and  Wei  Hien,  and  less  from  heathen  schools,  a 
corresponding  improvement  is  seen  in  the  average  attendance,  the 
weeding  out  process  having  been  pretty  well  finished  before  the  stu- 
dents reach  college.  The  general  health  of  the  students  has  been 
good,  though  two  or  three  have  been  obliged  to  leave  on  account  of 
sickness,  and  toward  the  close  of  the  term  the  influenza  for  a  brief 
season  almost  broke  up  the  school.  The  graduating  class  numbered 
five,  all  men  of  good  promise.  Three  others,  after  completing  a  par- 
tial course,  have  entered  into  useful  spheres  of  labor.  The  religious 
tone  of  the  school  has  been  kept  up  to  its  usual  degree. 

The  report  speaks  of  the  great  need  of  buildings,  two  or  three  small 
structures  having  created  a  good  deal  of  apprehension  lest  they  should 
fall  to  the  ground.  To  prevent  this,  funds  were  borrowed  to  rebuild 
them. 

In  closing  the  report  says  :  "  All  in  all  the  year  has  been  one  of 
steady  toil  for  the  welfare  of  the  institution,  and  the  fitting  of  young 
men  for  responsible  positions  in  the  church.  Experience  has  amply 
shown  that  while  here,  as  elsewhere,  there  may  be  shorter  cuts  to  the 
ministry,  yet  those  who  are  most  fully  prepa'ed  are,  as  a  rule,  most 
useful  and  reliable  men,  and  it  is  our  purpose,  while  not  compelling 
any  one  to  enter  the  church  service,  ever  to  hold  the  work  for  Christ 
before  them  as  the  noblest  work  of  all." 

The  total  number  of  members  connected  with  the  Tungchow  sta- 
tion is  280.     During  the  year  34  have  been  added. 

Chefoo. 

The  work  in  connection  with  the  Chefoo  station  has  been  carried 
on  by  Dr.  and  Mrs.  Corbett  and  Rev.  Mr.  and  Mrs.  George  S.  Hays, 
and  has  been  devoted  to  evangelization  and  education. 

During  the  spring  and  autumn  seasons  Dr.  Corbett  spent  ninety- 
three  days  in  outstation  work,  preaching  to  the  people   at  numerous 


72  CHINA — CHEFOO. 

markets,  conducting  services  and  administering  the  sacraments  at 
Christian  centres  in  the  districts  of  Hai-Yang,  Lai-Yang,  Chi-Meh, 
and  Kiao-Cheu,  also  in  examining  boys  and  girls  in  the  day-schools. 
He  found  the  work  encouraging  in  all  these  places,  but  more  especially 
in  the  districts  of  Hai-Yang  and  Lai- Yang.  New  work  is  springing  up 
in  all  quarters.  Four  years  ago  there  was  but  one  centre  of  Christian 
life  in  all  these  two  districts,  and  everywhere  the  native  preachers  met 
with  reviling  and  opposition  ;  but  a  change  has  come  over  the  people, 
not  that  there  has  been  any  sudden  overthrow  of  idolatry  and 
heathenism,  attended  with  the  conversion  of  great  numbers,  yet  a 
gradual  weakening  of  the  opposition  is  manifest,  and  in  many  towns 
and  villages  there  is  evidence  that  the  Gospel  is  reaching  many  hearts. 
Dr.  Corbett  received  into  church  membership  a  total  number  of  67 
during  the  year.  When  not  occupied  in  itinerating  he  has  been  en- 
gaged in  reaching  the  Normal  School  and  classes  of  inquirers  ;  also 
preparing  lectures  to  be  used  in  the  school,  and  conducting  the 
regular  services  in  the  Chefoo  chapel. 

Rev.  George  S.  Hays  spent  ninety-eight  days  in  itineration.  The 
greater  portion  of  this  time  was  occupied  in  attending  markets,  dis- 
tributing books  and  tracts,  and  preaching  to  the  heathen.  Fifty  one 
markets  were  attended,  mostly  in  the  district  of  Chi-Hia.  Heretofore 
this  region  has  proved  but  a  barren  soil,  and  throughout  its  whole 
extent,  perhaps  forty  miles  in  breadth  by  fifty  in  length,  there  are  even 
yet  but  four  or  five  church  members.  The  present  outlook  is  more 
hopeful,  and  the  seed  sown  in  past  years  is  beginning  to  spring  up. 
Many  persons  were  met  who  showed  more  or  less  interest.  Mr. 
Hays  paid  a  visit  to  the  promontory  lying  southeast  of  Chefoo,  a 
region  of  great  destitution,  and  giving,  as  yet,  but  little  encouragement. 
It  is  constantly  overrun  by  foreigners,  who  are  in  the  Customs  employ- 
ment, and  whose  influence  is  not  good.  Mr.  Hays  has  also  been  en- 
gaged a  part  of  the  time  in  giving  instruction  to  normal  school  classes. 
Mrs.  Hays  has  visited  among  the  women  in  the  neighborhood  of 
Chefoo  ;  spending  thirty  days,  and  made  in  all  seventy  calls.  While 
kindly  received  in  nearly  all  of  the  homes  visited,  she  did  not  find 
many  who  were  ready  to  take  a  stand  on  the  side  of  the  truth. 

Training-  Schools. 

In  the  work  of  the  country  schools  considerable  effort  has  been 
made.  These  were  open  during  the  winter  months  at  five  different 
centres  for  the  training  of  inquirers  and  lay-preachers.  The  one  at 
Chefoo  was  opened  late  in  November,  and  continued  about  two 
months.  Thirty-five  men  were  taught  by  Dr.  Corbett  and  Mr.  Hays, 
as  above  stated.  Besides  those  taught  at  Chefoo,  there  were  sixty  in- 
quirers distributed  between  four  different  outstations  who  received 
more  or  less  instruction,  being  taught  entirely  by  lay-preachers  sta- 
tioned at  the  different  places.  There  are  in  connection  with  Chefoo 
station  28  native  helpers  or  evangelists  ;  41  schools  with  500  pupils. 
These  receive  daily  instruction  in  the  Word  of  God,  and  are  exerting 
great  good.     The  Normal  School  for   the   training   of  teachers  and 


CHINA — CHINANFU.  71 

evangelists  which   was  opened  two  years  ago  continues  to  prosper. 
During  the  year  22  young  men  have  been  instructed  therein. 

Chinanfu. 

The  health  of  the  missionaries  at  the  Chinanfu  station  has  been 
good.  Peace  and  quiet  in  both  city  and  country  have  prevailed, 
notwithstanding  the  disturbances  in  Central  China.  For  many  years 
the  missionaries  at  Chinanfu  have  been  striving  to  secure  land  upon 
which  to  place  missionary  structures,  but  the  local  government 
offi<  ials  have  constantly  thwarted  them.  Our  United  States  Minister 
at  Peking  has  made  repeated  efforts,  but  without  result,  until  during 
the  past  )ear.  Through  the  reaction  in  favor  of  foreigners,  to  which 
reference  has  been  made  above,  the  missionaries  have  been  at  last 
able  to  secure  eligible  sites  for  missionary  buildings  outside  the  wall, 
thus  avoiding  the  malarious  atmosphere  and  intense  heat  from  which 
ihey  have  always  suffered  in  their  close  and  uncomfortable  quarters  in 
the  Chinese  city.  On  the  other  hand,  it  is  unfortunate  that  just  now, 
when  the  opportunities  are  so  enlarged  and  the  favorable  auspices  for 
the  work  have  been  increased,  the  number  of  workers  is  diminished. 
Dr.  and  Mrs.  Neal  and  Rev.  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Bergen  being  entitled  to  a 
leave  of  absence,  according  to  the  rules  of  the  Board,  left  their  field 
in  December.  They  are  now  in  this  country.  No  one  has  yet  been 
secured  to  take  their  places.  Dr.  Van  Schoick,  who  has  been 
assigned  to  the  Chi  Ning  Chow  station,  has  rendered  temporary 
service  at  Chinanfu,  though  under  certain  disadvantages,  as  he  has 
not  had  full  opportunity  to  acquire  the  language.  The  station  calls 
earnestly  for  some  one  to  supply  the  place  of  Mr.  Bergen,  who  has 
been  faithful  and  efficient,  and  whose  acquisition  of  the  language  is 
unusually  good. 

Mr.  Murray  assisted  a  part  of  the  year  in  theological  instruction. 
Through  three  of  the  spring  months  he  was  engaged  in  itinerating. 
His  work  was  much  interrupted  by  a  period  of  sickness  in  the  early 
autumn.  Another  itinerating  trip  was  taken  later  in  the  fall.  Mr. 
Murray  also  had  a  class  of  inquirers  for  a  month.  Mrs.  Murray 
attended  him  in  his  itinerating  work  for  two  months,  and  had  classes 
of  women  under  her  instruction  at  three  different  times.  Mr.  Murray's 
field  embraces  5  stations,  64  communicants,  55  inquirers,  4  student 
helpers,  3  day-schools.  Fourteen  persons  were  baptized  during  the 
year.  Contributions  of  members,  §8.50.  Mr.  Bergen's  work  has 
been  transferred  for  the  present  to  Mr.  Murray's  care. 

Rev.  Gilbert  Reid,  as  above  stated,  has  had  the  great  satisfaction 
during  the  year  of  securing  property  for  missionary  purposes  at  Chi 
Ning  Chow.  This  fact  marks  a  great  advance  in  the  status  of 
the  mission,  as  compared  with  the  sad  experience  of  1890,  when 
our  missionaries  were  mobbed  during  their  efforts  to  secure  a  set- 
tlement in  that  place.  Mr.  Reid  reports  a  prosperous  work  done 
in  country  evangelization.  Eighty  inquirers  have  presented  them- 
selves to  him  for  instruction.  He  has  had  the  privilege  of  Ido- 
lizing 8  persons.  Three  stations  with  15  communicants  are  under 
his   care.     Two   theological   students   from  his  field  have  been  added 


74  CHINA— CHINANFU. 

to  those  who  are  preparing  to  preach  the  Gospel.  A  medical 
helper  under  his  direction  performed  good  work  in  introducing  west- 
ern science  into  a  new  district,  where  an  official  was  the  object  of 
his  ministration.  This  helper  treated  2,657  cases  in  eight  months. 
Native  contributions  to  the  amount  of  $15  were  given  him  toward  his 
work.  Mr.  Reid,  from  his  deep  interest  in  the  opportunities  for  work 
which  open  everywhere  before  him,  contributed  $250  from  his  own  re- 
sources for  its  prosecution.  He  has  also  had  charge  of  the  street  chapel 
in  Chinanfu,  and  has  given  considerable  instruction  to  the  native  helpers 
gathered  for  the  purpose  during  portions  of  the  year.  One  of  the  most 
important  departments  of  Mr.  Reid's  work  during  the  year  has  been 
the  securing  of  proclamations  of  local  officials  at  stations  under  his 
care,  and  some  belonging  to  other  missionaries  ;  also  the  settlement 
of  the  difficulties  at  Chi  Ning  Chow  and  the  purchase  of  property  ; 
the  securing  of  a  deed  legally  stamped  and  registered  at  Chinanfu,  and 
the  posting  of  the  proclamation  demanding  protection  for  the  mission- 
aries and  for  their  work. 

Mr.  Bergen's  work  during  July  and  August  consisted  (t)  in  the  in- 
struction of  the  theological  class  in  the  Old  Testament  Exegesis, 
Delivery  and  Criticism  of  Sermons,  Church  Discipline,  and  six  lectures 
on  Comparative  Religion  ;  (2)  instruction  daily  of  four  helpers  in 
Matthew  and  Evidences  of  Chiistianity ;  (3)  preaching  in  Chinese  on 
Sunday,  and  leading  the  mid-week  prayer-meetings.  During  Septem- 
ber and  October  his  time  was  devoted  to  a  Commentary  on  Second 
Thessalonians.  He  also  revised  Dr.  Mateer's  Mandarin  lessons  and 
led  the  Sunday  services.  Mrs.  Bergen  has  been  ill  during  a  consider- 
able part  of  the  year,  but  she  has  been  actively  engaged  in  work  when 
her  strength  admitted.  Under  Mr.  Bergen's  care  were  5  stations,  4 
student  helpers,  1  school  of  15  pupils,  and  57  church  members.  There 
are  4  baptisms  reported. 

Mr.  Hamilton  has  had  oversight  of  the  Chinanfu  Boys  Boarding- 
School,  which  at  present  is  conducted  in  Chinese  premises  in  the  east 
suburb.  He  has  met  with  the  school  three  times  a  week.  The  school 
averages  20  pupils,  five  of  whom  are  day-scholars.  Two  or  three 
years  ago  a  fund  was  raised  for  a  memorial  school  building  by  friends 
of  the  late  Mrs.  Clara  L  Hamilton,  who  was  called  to  her  rest  very 
soon  after  reaching  the  mission  field.  With  the  purchase  of  land  which 
has  been  so  long  delayed,  it  is  expected  that  this  enterprise  will  now 
be  consummated.  In  August  a  portion  of  Mr.  Reid's  field  was  trans- 
ferred to  Mr.  Hamilton's  care.  During  the  autumn  thirty  days  were 
spent  in  itineration. 

Dr.  Hunter,  who  left  his  field  in  May  on  leave  of  absence,  spent  the 
early  part  of  the  year  in  Chinanfu,  preaching  and  giving  instruction  to 
native  helpers. 

During  the  year  the  ladies  of  the  mission  kept  up  a  systematic  work 
for  women  in  Sabbatii-school  classes  and  the  Wednesdiy  evening 
prayer-meeting,  and  in  personal  instruction  of  those  who  were  en- 
couraged to  call  at  the  mission  homes.

Medical   Work. 

The  dispensary  under  Dr.  Neal,  superintended  for  a  part  of  the  year 
by  Dr.  Van  Schoick,  reports  1  1,010  cases  treated,  of  which  5,377  were 
new  or  separate  cases.  This  is  an  increase  of  1,000  over  last  year. 
Dr.  Neal's  medical  class  at  the  beginning  of  the  year  numbered  9,  but 
some  having  been  dropped,  he  closed  his  instruction  with  6. 

An  unfortunate  event  occurred  in  connection  with  the  medical  work 
in  the  death  of  the  local  Governor.  He  had  called  a  foreign  doctor 
from  Tien-tsin,  but  too  late,  so  that  nothing  was  done,  yet  foreigners 
received  the  credit  of  killing  him,  and  wild  stories  were  circulated 
against  them. 

The  medical  report  speaks  with  satisfaction  of  the  prospect  of 
securing  a  hospital  and  dispensary  in  the  east  suburb  where  land  has 
recently  been  purchased  for  the  mission. 

Dr.  Neal  also  had  charge  of  the  treasury  of  the  station,  and  fulfilled 
his  duties  well.  He  was  also  Sunday-school  superintendent,  and  fre- 
quently held  a  Bible  class  at  his  house. 

Mrs.  Neal  did  valuable  work  among  the  women,  both  in  the  city 
and  in  the  country. 

Wei  Hien. 

The  mission  field  connected  with  the  Wei  Hien  station  comprises 
all  Presbyterian  churches,  outstations,  schools,  and  evangelistic  work 
in  the  twelve  "hien"  or  counties  lying  within  the  prefectures  of  Lai 
Chow  Fu  and  Ch'ing  Chow  Fu,  covering  an  area  of  about  10,000 
square  miles,  and  containing,  perhaps,  four  millions  of  people.  Besides 
the  missionaries,  the  working  force  comprises  4  ordained  native 
ministers,  25  native  helpers,  3  Bible-women,  and  some  50  school 
teachers.  The  Mateer  Memorial  Hospital  is  under  the  care  of  three 
foreign  physicians,  two  of  whom  are  ladies,  and  one  trained  native 
doctor,  who  is  an  able  assistant. 

There  are  in  the  Wei  Hien  field  13  organized  churches,  with  an 
aggregate  membership  of  1.920,  besides  an  unorganized  membership 
of  230,  making  a  total  of  2,150  members  connected  with  the  station 
and  its  outstations.  During  the  year  there  have  been  added  on  pro- 
fession 616,  making  a  net  gain  over  deaths  and  removals  of  443. 
There  are  now  130  outstations  where  regular  services  are  held. 

In  the  country  schools  there  are  766  youth,  of  whom  562  are  boys 
and  204  are  girls.  At  Wei  Hien  there  is  a  high-school  for  boys,  which 
is  recruited  from  the  country  schools,  and  which  in  turn  prepares 
students  for  admission  to  Tungchow  College. 

In  this  district  the  native  contributions  have  amounted  to  $545 
(Mexican)  The  four  native  pastors  laboring  in  this  field  will  be  fully 
supported  during  the  coming  year  by  the  native  church  contributions, 
thus  saving  the  mission  an  item  of  $300. 

Notwithstanding  famine,  persecution,  and  strenuous  opposition  by 
the  Roman  Catholics,  the  work  has  been  greatly  blessed. 

During  the  year  Mr.  Mateer  has  given  Scriptural  instruction  for 
four  or  five  weeks  to  about  thirty  men,  preachers  and  helpers.  He 
also  gave  a  season  of  instruction  to  the  country  school  teachers.     It

is  one  of  the  wise  measures  of  the  Shantung  Mission  to  institute  these 
substitutes  for  theological  seminaries  and  normal  schools,  utilizing  such 
seasons  as  are  not  favorable  for  itinerant  work.  To  be  brought  into 
contact  with  the  missionaries  once  or  twice  a  year  is  most  valuable  as 
a  stimulus,  intellectually  and  spiritually,  to  the  native  force.  The 
quality  of  work  done  in  the  schools  has  greatly  improved.  The 
heathen  are  looking  on  with  admiration,  and  are  beginning  to  seek  the 
transfer  of  their  children  from  the  native  schools  to  those  of  the  mis- 
sion. Out  of  227  boys,  only  21  are  boarded,  and  they  only  in  part. 
Of  these,  18  are  in  an  advanced  school,  studying  the  ordinary  branches 
of  common  school  education.  A  day-school  costs  but  from  $25  to 
$32.  These  little  centres  in  a  heathen  community  prove  seed-beds 
of  influence  which  reach  not  only  the  children,  but  parents  and  house- 
holds, and  in  many  instances  they  have  led  to  the  formation  of  little 
churches.  In  the  heathen  schools  there  is  no  moral  influence.  The 
uplifting  power  of  education  thus  given  will  tell  upon  the  female  sex, 
and  thus  upon  the  whole  population  of  Shantung. 

The  work  of  Rev.  J.  A.  Leyenberger  has  been  largely  one  of 
organization.  Hitherto  it  had  been  thought  best  to  leave  the  church 
membership  in  his  portion  of  the  field  in  an  unorganized  state,  in 
order  to  test  more  thoroughly  the  character  of  the  members  and 
ascertain  who  were  most  suitable  to  occupy  the  responsible  position 
of  officers.  In  the  present  case  the  results  of  this  sifting  process  have 
been  beneficial,  and  have  justified  the  delay  ;  but  during  the  year  four 
churches  have  been  organized  with  a  total  membership  of  439.  Nine 
elders  and  as  many  deacons  have  been  elected,  all  of  whom  are  men 
of  good  character  and  have  given  satisfaction.  By  act  of  Presbytery 
these  churches  are  under  the  care  of  a  native  pastor,  Rev  Chang  Yu- 
fung,  but,  at  his  request,  Mr.  Leyenberger  has  been  associated  with 
him  as  co-pastor.  A  large  part  of  the  work  to  the  east  and  southeast 
of  Wei  Hien  still  remains  unorganized.  Mr.  Leyenberger  has  made 
five  touis  of  visitation  to  the  churches  and  stations  during  the  year. 
He  has  not,  however,  been  able  to  visit  all  of  them  each  time.  He 
has  traveled  mostly  by  wheelbarrow  over  a  distance  of  856  miles, 
spending  no  days  in  the  country,  during  which  time  it  was  his 
privilege  to  baptize  109  persons,  of  whom  10  were  children.  Seven 
who  had  been  baptized  in  infancy  were  also  received  into  the  church. 

Mr.  F.  H.  Chalfant  has  had  his  time  divided  between  duties  at  Wei 
Hien  and  the  oversight  of  country  stations.  He  spent  126  days  in 
the  country  (too  in  itineration,  17  in  teaching  a  class  at  an  outstation, 
and  9  in  organizing  churches).  He  has  baptized  during  the  year  127 
adults  and  2  children  ;  restored  to  membership  6  and  excommunicated 
2.  He  has  had  under  his  care  30  preaching  stations  and  12  country 
schools,  not  including  30  stations  under  the  care  of  the  native  pastors, 
Revs.  Lan  Yueh  Hoa.  and  Lan  Yung  Seng.  These  two  brethren  have 
received  during  the  year  164  persons  to  their  communions. 

Considerable  persecution  has  existed,  due  to  the  coincidence  of 
the  term  "  Lao  Hui"  (meaning  presbytery)  with  the  latter  part  of  the 
name  Ko  Lao  Hui,  the  notorious  secret  society  which  is  strongly 
suspected  of  being  at  the  bottom  of  the  recent  Central  China  riots. 


CHINA— WEI    IIIKN.  J"? 

An  edict  was  issued  in  all  the  provinces  to  ferret  out  all  adherents  of 
the  infamous  Ko  Lao  Hui,  and  this  has  been  made  a  pretext  in  some 
places  for  persecuting  the  innocent   "Lao  Hui,"  or  presbytery. 

The  Roman  Catholics  are  everywhere  trying  to  supplant  the  Prot- 
estant schools  and  proselyte  the  church  members.  Notwithstanding 
these  hindrances,  the  work  has  been  greatly  prospered. 

Something  has  been  done  during  the  year  in  the  distribution  of  the 
famine  fund  previously  contributed.  Mr.  Chalfant's  report  says: 
"We  disbursed  in  all  $4,025.85  (Mexican),  equal  to  about  83350 
United  Siates  gold  at  the  then  current  rate.  With  this  sum  we  were 
enabled  to  give  substantial  aid  to  4,473  persons  (including  children), 
of  whom  about  one-third  were  church  members  and  the  rest  heathen 
members  of  their  families  dependent  upon  them  for  support.  We  ap- 
pointed ten  men  as  distributors,  and  drew  up  careful  regulations  con- 
ti oiling  the  mode  of  enrollment,  and  then  issued  monthly  allowances 
to  such  as  were  deemed  needy,  and  we  required  a  full  account  at  the 
hands  of  the  distributor.  At  the  close  of*  the  distribution  (it  lasted 
from  December  to  April)  we  required  each  distributor  to  file  an 
itemized  account  of  every  cash  paid  out,  and  to  whom  paid,  which, 
together  with  our  own  account  of  receipts  and  disbursements,  are  now 
on  file  (in  Chinese)  for  the  inspection  of  any  one  at  any  time." 

Rev.  and  Mrs.  J.  H.  Laughlm  and  wife  have  spent  a  year  on  leave 
of  absence  in  the  United  States,  and  are  about  to  return  to  their  field. 
It  is  expected  that  they  will  be  stationed  at  Chi  Ning  Chow. 

Rev.  J.  A.  Fitch  has  devoted  his  time  almost  exclusively  to  the 
learning  of  the  language,  though  he  has  also  made  two  trips  in  the 
country,  visiting  the  villages,  besides  taking  charge  of  some  business 
matters  for  the  mission. 

Medical  Work. 

Dr.  Faries' report  of  the  Wei  Hien  Hospital  is  broken  in  continuity 
by  a  removal  for  a  part  of  the  year  to  Tungchow,  to  fill  the  place  left 
vacant  by  Dr.  Coltman  ;  but  this  has  affoided  him  partial  relaxation 
from  the  pressing  duties  at  Wei  Hien,  and  given,  therefore,  more  time 
for  study,  which  has  been  well  improved.  The  labor  at  Wei  Hien  has 
already  outgrown  the  strength  of  those  who  are  called  to  engage  in  it. 
Dr.  Faries  reports  from  forty  to  sixty  visits  daily  at  the  dispensary.  He 
says  :  "The  lady  doctors  are  frequently  overworked.  They  are  often 
called  to  see  patients  in  well-to-do  families.  Sometimes  there  are  two 
carts  at  a  time  before  the  door  to  bear  them  to  comfortable  homes  on 
visits  to  patients.  Generally  every  time  they  go  out  they  must  see 
several  of  these  sufferers."  Those  who  have  any  doubt  about  medical 
work  will  be  plea>ed  to  read  that  M  Their  work  has  made  a  great 
difference  in  the  attitude  of  the  people  of  Wei  Hien  toward  the  mis- 
sionaries. The  English  Baptist  missionaries  also  notice  the  difference 
when  they  pass  through  the  city."  A  good  native  assistant  is  employed 
at  the  dispensary,  but  patients  will  leave  the  place  and  try  to  find 
"the  lady  doctor"  wherever  she  may  be,  and  "it  is  ot  no  use  to 
reason  with  these  women."  This  means  oppressive  labor  and  respon- 
sibility for  the  lady  physicians.     Dr.  Faries  gives  very  cogent  reasons 


78  CHINA — WEI    HIEN. 

for  the  appointment  of  such  medical  missionaries  for  other  stations  in 
Northern  China  ;  well  trained,  earnest,  devoted  lady  doctors  certainly 
have  a  mission  in  Shantung.  With  the  hospital  and  surgical  work  a 
spiritual  effort  has  been  put  forth.  Two  of  the  patients  applied  for 
baptism. 

Miss  Mary  Brown,  M.D.,  has  also  devoted  much  of  her  time  to  the 
language,  but  has  also,  to  some  extent,  begun  to  engage  in  the  prac- 
tice of  medicine,  making  daily  calls  from  house  to  house  in  visiting 
patients,  and  also  in  taking  charge  of  the  dispensary  work  every  other 
week.  She  has  spent  16  days  in  the  country.  The  persons  treated  at 
the  dispensary  have  been  about  7.000.  The  homes  of  the  poor,  and 
to  some  extent  those  of  the  wealthiest  families,  are  open  to  Dr.  Brown 
and  the  other  physicians. 

The  work  of  Mrs.  Robert  Mateer,  M.D.,  in  the  women's  depart- 
ment of  the  dispensary  at  Wei  Hien,  has  assumed  a  more  definite  and 
efficient  character,  though  patients  have  been  received  almost  from 
her  first  arrival  on  the  field.  The  number  of  patients  has  been  on  the 
increase.  The  confidence  of  the  people  has  grown  more  cordial, 
entrusting  the  most  serious  cases  to  the  surgical  skill  of  the  physicians. 
There  is  almost  an  excessive  confidence,  since  the  people  are  some- 
times not  prepared  to  understand  how  any  case  can  baffle  the  doctor's 
skill.  "We  are  making  friends  far  and  near,"  says  Mrs.  Mateer's 
report.  "This  is  noticeable  in  a  marked  degree  in  Wei  Hien  City, 
formerly  a  very  hostile  place.  It  is  a  common  occurrence  for  us  to 
be  invited  to  feasts  given  in  our  honor.  This  was  never  known  to 
happen  before  this  department  was  opened.  Wherever  physical  suffer- 
ing is  relieved,  there  we  may  count  our  friends  by  the  score.  The 
people  are  so  thankful  for  relief  that  they  are  willing  to  listen  to  the 
Word  of  Life.  We  find  in  many  of  our  calls  that  the  tracts,  prayers, 
commandments,  etc.,  received  from  us  have  been  pasted  on  the  wall 
of  the  Chinese  homes,  and,  although  this  may  be  done  to  please  us,  it 
is  encouraging,  as  it  is  not  long  since  the  people  refused  to  carry  them 
home." 

Mrs.  Crossette's  work  among  the  patients  is  noticed  elsewhere. 

Miss  Emma  Anderson,  from  whom  no  report  has  been  received,  has 
spent  altogether  about  150  days  visiting  the  Chinese  women,  and 
speaking  to  them  of  Christ  and  of  what  the  Gospel  may  do  to  raise 
them  up,  not  only  to  a  higher  life  here,  but  to  a  blessed  immortality  in 
the  world  to  come. 

Mrs.  Crossette  has  devoted  her  time  and  strength  to  the  patients 
connected  with  the  dispensary  service,  having  visited  1,700  women, 
telling  them  of  a  Saviour  and  a  heaven,  of  God  and  how  to  worship 
Him.  Her  knowledge  of  the  language,  the  result  of  many  previous 
years  of  service,  and  her  pleasant  and  sympathetic  manner,  fit  her 
peculiarly  for  this  kind  of  work.  Her  report  says,  "  Many  of  the 
women  get  a  good  start  in  the  Christian  Catechism  before  leaving  the 
hospital.  Some  show  brightness  of  mind  and  readiness  to  receive  the 
truth."  A  class  of  Christian  Chinese  women  are  gathered  on  Sabbath 
afternoons  to  receive  systematic  instruction. 

Miss  Emma  F.  Boughton  has  devoted  her  time  mostly  to  learning 


I  HINA — ICHOWFU.  79 

the  language,  though  about  fifty  days  have  been  spent  visiting  among 
the  villages. 

Miss  Fanny  E.  Wight  has  spent  165  days  in  visiting  in  the  country. 
She  has  generally  accompanied  Miss  Anderson  or  Mrs.  Crossette,' 
talking  with  the  women  in  the  various  villages. 

Ichou>/u. 

With  the  exception  of  a  visitation  of  the  prevailing  influenza,  which 
was  rather  severe,  the  health  of  the  missionaries  at  this  station  has 
been  in  the  main  good,  though  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Killie  have  both  been 
ill,  and  for  a  time  were  obliged  to  go  to  Japan  for  their  health.  They 
have  returned  to  their  field  and  resumed  their  work. 

The  report  from  Ichowfu  says  :  "The  year  has  been  one  of  slow  but 
steady  progress  in  all  the  lines  of  work,  and  we  are  to-day  on  better 
terms  with  all  classes  than  ever  before.  We  feel  profoundly  grateful 
for  this  peaceful  condition  of  our  Jchowfu  station,  especially  so  as 
news  comes  to  us  both  from  the  North  and  fiom  the  South  of  riots  and 
bloodshed.  Here  the  Roman  Catholic  agent  seems  to  be  unable  to 
obtain  the  same  privileges  that  have  been  peacefully  granted  to  us. 
We  have  no  organized  church  as  yet,  but  hold  preaching  services 
every  Sabbath,  followed  by  Sabbath-school.  Prayer-meetings  are 
held  each  Sunday  and  Wednesday  evening ;  also  public  worship 
morning  and  evening  of  each  day.  All  patients  who  have  come  to 
the  dispensary  have  had  the  benefit  of  Christian  conversation.  Those 
who  could  read  have  received  Christian  literature.  Our  chief  work, 
however,  lies  in  the  country.  There  we  have  ten  outstations,  one 
organized  this  year.  In  five  of  these  are  churches  ;  the  other  five  are 
only  preaching-places.  Fifteen  have  been  added  to  the  church  roll 
during  the  year,  while  five  have  been  stricken  off,  leaving  a  net  gain 
of  ten,  and  a  total  membership  of  181.  There  are  also  88  baptized 
children."  The  contributions  of  these  little  churches  amounted  to 
$38.65.  There  are  five  native  helpers,  three  of  whom  spend  all  their 
time  in  country  work.  Five  country  schools  are  reported,  with  55 
pupils. 

This  station  has  been  opened  scarcely  two  years,  and  much  of  the 
time  of  the  missionaries  has  necessarily  been  occupied  with  the 
building  or  thorough  modification  of  residences,  chapel,  dispensary,  etc., 
proper  y  hiving  been  secured  on  a  long  lease  of  twenty  years,  which 
is  considered  in  effect  about  tantamount  to  a  purchase.  The  mission- 
aries have  succeeded  in  making  themselves  comfortable,  though  in 
very  small  and  humble  quarters.  The  reason  why  in  so  short  a  time 
the  station  is  able  to  report  so  large  a  number  of  communicants 
is  found  in  the  fact  that  for  some  years  past  missionaries  from  Chefoo 
and  their  native  helpers  have  preached  at  the  outstations  which  are 
now  embraced  in  this  field. 

Rev.  W.  P.  Chalfant  began  the  work  of  itinerating  soon  after  the 
Chinese  New- Year,  visiting  first  an  isolated  station  twenty-five  miles 
southeast  of  Ichowfu,  where  there  is  an  interesting  Christian  family. 
The  means  of  travel  are  exceedingly  poor.     For  want  of  better  con- 


80  CHINA — ICHOWFU. 

veyance  Mr.  Chalfant  engaged  a  small  donkey,  which,  however,  gave 
out  in  the  midst  of  his  journey,  leaving  him  no  alternative  but  to  pro- 
ceed on  foot  through  mud  and  sometimes  in  cold  and  rain.  A  short 
time  after  his  return  he  again  set  forth  on  a  tour  to  visit  three  stations 
in  the  northeast  of  Ichowfu,  where  he  baptized  six  converts  and  en- 
rolled twice  that  number  of  candidates  for  baptism  in  the  future.  A 
third  visit  was  made,  accompanied  by  his  wife,  visiting  the  churches  to 
the  northward.  The  road  was  little  more  than  a  footpath,  along 
rugged  gorges  and  over  dizzy  mountain  passes.  The  vehicle  was  a 
wheelbarrow.  Mrs.  Chalfant,  it  is  believed,  was  the  first  foreign  lady 
that  ever  visited  these  mountain  stations.  Schools  were  examined, 
religious  services  were  held,  and  to  the  women  instruction  was  given 
for  the  first  time  by  one  of  their  own  sex.  Mr.  Chalfant  reports  a 
good  deal  of  interest  in  the  little  churches  lying  within  a  radius  of  forty 
miles  from  the\r  station.  At  Pei  Tso  Chinan  he  baptized  three  con- 
verts. On  a  visit  to  Shanghai  on  business  Mr.  Chalfant  encountered 
at  Ch'ing  Kiang  Pu  some  difficulty  from  rioters,  but  escaped  without 
injury.  Later  in  the  year  another  visit  was  made  to  the  churches  to 
the  northward,  accompanied  by  Dr.  Johnson.  More  or  less  difficulty 
has  been  encountered  by  the  proselyting  of  Roman  Catholics  in  some 
of  the  outstations.  Their  influence  for  evil  was  greatly  increased  by 
the  fact  that  they  offered  to  establish  a  paid  day-school  in  opposition 
to  the  one  carried  on  by  our  mission  without  such  pecuniary  temp- 
tation. This  dangerous  diversion  was  by  patience  and  skill  finally 
thwarted. 

Mr.  Killie,  as  stated  above,  has  lost  much  time  through  his  own  ill- 
ness and  that  of  his  wife.  They  have,  as  time  and  strength  allowed, 
made  good  progress  in  the  language,  and  Mr.  Killie,  besides  acting  as 
station  treasurer,  has  taken  charge  of  some  of  the  religious  services. 
Mrs.  Killie  has  also  visited  the  dispensary  a  good  part  of  the  time 
when  at  home,  talking  with  the  women.  The  Bible-woman  under  her 
charge,  Mrs.  Lieu,  has  been  in  daily  attendance  there  for  five  or  six 
months  of  the  year. 

Mr.  and  Mrs.  Elterich  arrived  at  Ichowfu  in  the  month  of  April, 
and  have  devoted  the  year  assiduously  to  the  study  of  the  language. 
In  the  summer  months  they  opened  a  Sabbath-school  for  the  native 
Christians,  and  for  such  strangers  as  were  willing  to  attend.  Mr.  El- 
terich is  just  beginning  to  make  some  use  of  the  language,  greatly  to 
his  satisfaction. 

Medical  Work. 

The  medical  work  of  Dr.  Johnson  is  a  very  important  factor,  though 
much  of  his  time  has  been  occupied  with  learning  the  language,  super- 
intending repairs  on  a  dwelling-house  and  dispensary,  besides  looking 
after  the  health  of  the  missionary  community.  The  dispensary  was 
opened  April  27th.  With  the  beginning  of  the  rainy  season  in  July 
the  attendance  began  to  decrease.  This  resulted  partly  from  the 
natural  reaction  after  curiosity  had  subsided,  and  partly  from  the 
reports  spread  abroad  by  the  native  doctors,  and  also  tidings  of  riots 
in  the  South.     No  open  demonstration  was  made,  however,  and  it 


CHINA — CHI    NING   CHOW.  8  I 

seemed  impossible  by  such  means  to  prevent  a  gradual  increase  in  the 
number  of  patients  applying. 

In  August  Dr.  Johnson  left  the  dispensary  in  the  hands  of  a  native 
medical  assistant,  and  accompanitd  Mr.  Chalfant  on  an  itinerating 
tour  among  the  outstations,  he  caring  for  the  sick  while  Mr.  Chalfant 
preached  and  gave  personal  instruction  to  the  people.  An  average  of 
about  50  or  60  patients  were  seen  in  each  town,  in  all  450.  Upon 
one  day  141  were  seen.  The  influence  of  itinerating  medical  work  is 
chiefly  valuable  in  awakening  the  attention  of  communities,  as  there  is 
comparatively  little  satisfaction  in  treating  diseases  where  a  patient 
can  be  seen  but  once. 

Giving  a  summary  of  the  work  Dr.  Johnson  calls  most  earnestly  for 
a  lady  physician,  as  nearly  one-fourth  of  the  patients  have  been 
women.  About  ninety  women  a  month  have  applied  at  the  dis- 
pensary, and  were  there  a  lady  physician  present  this  number  would 
be  increased  threefold.  From  April  27,  1891,  to  December  31,  1891, 
the  dispensary  was  open  213  days,  during  which  time  3002  cases 
were  treated,  an  average  of  14  a  day.  Of  these  1,516  were  first  visits. 
Of  the  cases  treated  2,313  were  men  and  689  women.  The  opera- 
tions performed  have  been  few,  and  limited  to  the  most  simple  cases. 
The  natural  horror  of  the  knife  which  every  Chinaman  has  been  un- 
able to  overcome  has  deterred  many.  Besides,  there  are  no  accom- 
modations at  present  in  which  it  would  be  safe  to  undertake  difficult 
cases,  as  full  control  of  the  patient  could  not  be  secured. 

This  report,  taken  in  connection  with  those  received  from  Wei 
Hien,  presents  a  strong  plea  for  the  appointment  of  a  medical  lady. 
No  form  of  work  seems  to  be  so  greatly  in  demand  or  to  repay  so 
richly  the  outlay  involved  as  that  which  bears  relief  for  the  body  and 
encouragement  and  hope  to  the  souls  of  China's  millions  of  degraded 
and  suffering  women. 

Mrs.  Johnson  accompanied  her  husband  on  an  itinerating  trip  of 
sixteen  days. 

Chi  Ning  Chow. 

It  will  be  remembered  by  those  who  have  followed  the  history  of 
the  Shantung  Mission  that  an  effort  was  made  in  1890  by  Dr.  S.  A. 
Hunter  and  family  and  Rev.  Win.  Lane  to  secure  a  settlement  at  Chi 
Ning  Chow,  but  the  missionaries  were  driven  out  almost  immediately, 
though  property  had  been  rented  for  their  use.  Although  at  one  time 
in  extreme  peril,  the  missionaries  escaped  without  injury,  except  that 
which  was  involved  in  the  exposure  to  which  they  were  subjected,  and 
in  the  mental  and  nervous  strain  which  seemed  to  affect  the  health  of 
Mrs.  Hunter.  Although  complaint  was  made  almost  immediately  to 
the  United  States  Minister  at  Peking,  the  Government  and  the  local 
authorities  were  very  tardy  in  giving  satisfaction,  but  during  the  past 
year,  through  the  efforts  of  Mr.  Reid,  efficiently  aided  by  Col.  Charles 
Denby,  U.  S.  Minister  at  Peking,  property  has  been  secured  at  Chi 
Ning  Chow,  and  full  permission  has  been  granted  for  the  erection  of 
buildings,  with  emphatic  pledges  of  protection.  Money  was  con- 
tributed by  the  ladies  of  the  First  Presbyterian  Church  in  Utica  many

months  ago  for  securing  a  property  at  Chi  Ning  Chow  for  a  hospital. 
The  way  now  seems  to  be  open  for  carrying  out  this  project. 

Meanwhile,  the  mission  has  assigned  to  this  new  field  Rev.  Messrs. 
Laughlin  and  Lane  and  their  wives,  and  Dr.  J.  L.  Van  Schoick  and 
wife ;  and  it  is  expected  that  at  as  early  a  day  as  practicable  they  will 
occupy  Chi  Ning  Chow  as  a  station,  and  begin  to  lay  foundations  for 
missionary  work  in  a  very  extensive  and  promising  field. 

Dr.  Van  Schoick,  who  has  been  assigned  to  Chi  Ning  Chow,  has 
spent  a  part  of  the  past  year  at  Tungchow,  and  the  remainder  at 
Chinanfu,  filling  the  vacancies  left  by  those  who  were  on  leaves  of 
absence. 

Mr.  Lane,  who,  together  with  Dr.  and  Mrs.  Hunter,  was  mobbed  at 
Chi  Ning  Chow,  and  subjected  to  great  exposure,  had  suffered  so 
seriously  from  ill  health  that  more  than  a  year  ago  he  was  granted  a 
leave  of  absence,  but  by  dint  of  personal  courage  and  good  medical 
care  he  has  apparently  recovered  his  health  and  continued  at  his 
work.  He  has  rendered  some  assistance  at  Tungchow,  as  elsewhere 
stated,  and  for  a  time  he  was  engaged  also  at  Chefoo.

MISSIONS   TO   THE  CHINESE  AND  JAPANESE  IN 
THE   UNITED  STATES. 

San  Francisco  :  mission  begun  1852 ;  missiorary  laborers — Rev.  A.  J.  Kerr  and 
wife ;  Miss  Maggie  Culbertson  and  Miss  M.  M.  Baskin  ;  three  teachers  in  English  ;  two 
native  helpers. 

Among  the  Japanese  :  E.  A.  Sturge,  M.D.,  and  wife  ;  one  native  superintendent  and 
one  native  helper. 

Oakland  :  mission  begun  1877  ;  Rev-  *•  M-  Condit  and  wife ;  two  teachers. 

Portland,  Oregon  :  Rev.  W.  S.  Holt  and  wife. 

New  York  :  one  native  superintendent. 

Early  in  the  past  year  the  mission  was  called  to  mourn  the  loss  of 
Rev.  A.  W.  Loomis,  D.  D.  For  thirty-two  years,  with  the  exception 
of  about  a  year  and  a  half  vacation,  on  account  of  ill  health,  he  had 
worked  faithfully  and  successfully  for  the  Chinese.  After  much  suffer- 
ing he  died  July  26,  1891.  At  the  funeral  service,  which  was  held  in 
the  Chinese  church  in  San  Francisco,  the  large  building  was  filled 
with  sympathizing  friends,  fully  one-half  of  whom  were  Mongolians. 
Beautiful  offerings  of  flowers  were  sent  by  the  Chinamen  from  several 
of  the  outstations.  The  members  of  the  Presbytery  acted  as  honorary 
pall-bearers,  while  the  casket  was  borne  to  the  cemetery  by  six  mem- 
bers of  the  Chinese  church,  dressed  in  full  native  mourning.  Around 
the  grave  stood  a  large  company,  many  of  whom  had  been  led  to  the 
truth  through  the  instrumentality  of  Dr.  Loomis.  The  hymn,  "  Nearer, 
my  God,  to  Thee,"  was  sung  in  Chinese.  Dr.  Loomis  had  won  the 
esteem  of  all  of  whatever  nationality  who  were  acquainted  with  his 
work  in  San  Francisco,  and  his  influence  had  gained  for  him  the 
affection  of  Chinamen  throughout  the  entire  Pacific  coast.  Not  only 
in  his  directly  spiritual  teaching,  but  in  his  kindly  and  courageous 
intervention  for  the  defence  of  the  Chinese  against  the  wrongs  visited 
upon  them  by  evil-minded  Americans,  and  by  foreigners  who  incon- 
sistently persecuted  them  as  foreigners,  he  had  honored  the  cause  of 
Christ  in  the  minds  of  the  entire  Chinese  population.  He  had  come 
to  be  regarded  as  a  father  to  all  belonging  to  their  race,  whether 
Christians  or  not.  At  a  meeting  of  the  Board,  held  August  17th, 
resolutions  were  passed  expressing  the  respect  and  honor  in  which 
this  worthy  veteran  was  held,  for  the  long  and  faithful  service  which  he 
had  rendered.  Dr.  Loomis  h'as  left  an  honored  widow,  who  had  long 
shared  his  work  for  the  Chinamen  in  San  Francisco. 

Aside  from  this  bereavement  the  mission  has  maintained  its  regular 
work  without  interruption  throughout  the  year.  The  results  are  not 
all  that  could  be  wished,  and  yet  are  encouraging,  considering  the  fact 
that  the  Chinese  population  is  being  gradually  diminished  by  the  strin- 
gent legislation  of  the  General  Government,  and  the  continued  per- 


84      CHINESE   AND   JAPANESE    IN   U.    S. — SAN    FRANCISCO. 

secution  suffered  from  local  authorities  and  prejudiced  citizens.  The 
number  of  Chinese  in  the  cities  of  San  Francisco  and  Oakland  does 
not  diminish  in  the  proportion  of  the  whole  population,  because 
vacancies  occurring  in  the  cities  are  filled  by  persons  from  the  smaller 
towns ;  hence,  the  work  in  these  cities  continues  to  be  of  prime 
importance.  "  We  have  had,  during  the  past  year,"  says  the  report, 
"experience  of  the  unjust  discrimination  of  the  present  exclusion  law. 
Some  months  ago,  being  in  need  of  an  additional  Chinese  preacher, 
we  endeavored  to  get  one  from  Canton.  The  law,  however,  blocked 
his  passage,  unless  he  could  get  from  the  Government  at  Peking  a 
certificate  of  his  standing,  and  stating  that  he  was  not  a  laborer.  This 
being  out  of  the  question,  our  missionaries  and  the  American  Consul 
at  Canton  gave  him  certificates  to  the  Chinese  and  American  Consuls 
at  Yokohama,  where  it  was  supposed  he  could  secure  the  necessary 
papers  to  land  on  American  soil,  as  Chinese  merchants  had  often 
done.  The  Chinese  Consul-General  at  Yokohama  cheerfully  gave 
him  the  papers  asked  for  ;  but  the  American  Consul  refused,  and  upon 
this  refusal  the  Pacific  Mail  steamers  offices  declined  to  sell  him  a 
ticket  to  San  Francisco.  The  preacher  was  obliged  to  return  to 
Canton.  Under  the  present  rulings  of  the  law  it  seems  impossible  to 
bring  a  Chinese  preacher  of  the  Gospel  into  the  United  States."  In 
these  circumstances  the  Board  has  borne  the  expense  of  the  fruitless 
journey  of  this  preacher,  sent  for  the  instruction  of  his  countrymen  in 
America,  back  to  Canton. 

The  missionaries  have  made  several  tours  during  the  year  among 
the  country  towns  and  camps  where  Chinese  are  to  be  found.  In 
these  places  meetings  were  held  in  the  streets,  tracts  distributed,  fac- 
tories and  stores  visited,  and  earnest  efforts  made  to  scatter  the  seeds 
of  the  truth.  There  are  three  native  assistants,  two  of  whom  are 
especially  faithful  and  efficient. 

San  Francisco. 

At  San  Francisco  the  regular  Sabbath  morning  and  evening  services 
and  two  Sunday-schools  have  been  maintained.  The  morning  con- 
gregations have  continued  large,  averaging  about  200,  and  have  given 
patient  attention.  Rev.  Mr.  Condit,  of  Oakland,  has  rendered  occa- 
sional assistance  in  maintaining  these  services.  There  were  8  persons 
received  during  the  year  into  the  church,  7  on  confession  of  faith  and 
1  by  letter.  Four  infants  were  baptized.  The  Sunday-schools  have 
shown  an  increase  in  attendance  toward  the  latter  part  of  the  year. 
The  number  of  children  in  Chinatown  is  increasing,  but  public  schools 
have  been  established  for  the  Chinese  children. 

A  foreign  missionary  society  was  recently  organized  in  the  church. 
All  of  its  officers  are  Chinese  young  men.  Its  object  is  to  support,  in 
connection  with  a  similar  organization  in  Oakland,  a  native  preacher 
in  Canton.     Each  member  contributes  a  special  monthly  sum. 

The  exercises  in  the  evening  mission-school  are  conducted  in 
English  and  in  Chinese.  Special  preaching  services  with  prayer-meet- 
ings are  held  on  Wednesday  and  Saturday  evenings.  On  Sunday  after- 
noon an  open-air  service  is  held  on  the  street  near  one  of  the  heathen 


CHINESE  AND  JAPANESE  IN  U.  S. — OCCIDENTAL  BOARD.     85 

temples,  at  which  often  two  or  three  hundred  persons  assemble.  A 
Bible-class  is  maintained  in  the  church  at  the  close  of  the  even- 
ing-school. 

The  Chinese  Christian  Association  holds  regular  meetings.  Several 
young  men  have  united  with  it  during  the  year,  "declaring  on  doing 
so  that  they  had  forsaken  all  idolatrous  and  sinful  practices,  and  now 
believe  in  the  true  God  and  henceforth  would  worship  Him."' 

One  member  of  the  church  is  a  student  in  the  San  Francisco  Pres- 
byterian Theological  Seminary.  The  professors  speak  highly  of  him 
as  a  student.  At  the  time  the  report  was  written  he  was  on  the  eve 
of  graduating,  and  will  at  once  enter  upon  mission  work. 

The  Loomis  Memorial  Presbyterian  Mission  Sc/iool  for  boys  and 
girls  has  been  carried  on  under  the  immediate  direction  of  the  Board. 
It  has  been  found  necessary  to  remove  this  school  from  the  Globe  hotel, 
which  had  become  a  den  of  gamblers,  opium  smokers,  etc.  A  new 
place  has  been  found  at  No.  1 108  Stockton  Street,  to  which  the  school 
was  removed  January  1st.  There  are  71  pupils  enrolled,  13  of  whom 
are  girls.  About  three-fourths  of  the  pupils  are  members  of  the 
children's  department  of  the  church  Sunday-school.  This  school, 
formerly  known  as  the  Globe  Hotel  School,  will  hereafter  be  known 
as  a  memorial  of  Dr.  Loomis,  who  through  many  years  was  its  earnest 
supporter.  It  has  been  under  the  efficient  care  of  Miss  J.  E.  Wisner, 
formerly  of  Canton.  All  accounts  represent  her  work  as  faithful  and 
successful. 

The  Occidental  Board. 

This  Board  maintains  the  Chinese  Mission  Home  (and  School)  for 
girls  at  933  Sacramento  Street,  and  also  the  Occidental  Day-School 
for  boys  and  girls.  The  Home  has  been  crowded  throughout  the 
year.  About  350  have  been  received  into  it  from  the  beginning. 
The  total  number  for  the  year  has  been  71.  A  large  number  of  the 
inmates  are  young  girls  under  sixteen  years  of  age  ;  also  a  six  months' 
old  female  infant  was  given  during  the  year  to  the  superintendent. 
Miss  Culbertson.  Excellent  work  has  been  done  in  industrial  as  well 
as  in  Christian  training  during  the  year.  Four  of  the  inmates  were 
baptized.  This  noble  work,  which  appeals  so  strongly  to  the  hearts 
of  Christian  women  throughout  the  land,  has  suffered  greatly,  and 
more  and  more  from  year  to  year,  from  the  cramped  quarters  in 
which  it  has  been  carried  on.  The  total  number  during  the  year  has 
been  nearly  twice  the  average  that  could  be  accommodated,  and  yet, 
when  once  the  poor  waifs  whose  good  the  institution  seeks  have  been 
received  under  protection,  they  cannot  be  turned  away  without  re- 
manding them  again  to  even  worse  perils.  This  Home  deals  with  the 
only  surviving  type  of  American  slavery,  and  it  should  be  the  deter- 
mined purpose  of  all  right-minded  people  to  put  it  down  :  and  inasmuch 
as  this  home  and  school  are  the  most  effective  means  of  accomplishing 
this,  the  institution  should  be  efficiently  supported.  The  necessity  for 
the  erection  of  new  buildings  with  enlarged  accommodations  has  been 
fully  recognized  by  the  Board  within  the  last  two  or  three  months, 
and  an  effort  has  been  authorized  for  the  raising  of  $6,000  in  connec- 


86  CHINESE    AND    JAPANESE    IN    U.    S.—  SLAVERY. 

tion  with  Children's  Work  for  Children  during  the  coming  fiscal  year. 
Thi<=  it  is  believed,  will,  with  the  local  subscriptions  gained  by  the 
Occidental  Board,  accomplish  the  much  to-be-desired  object. 

The  Occidental  Day-School,  under  the  care  of  Miss  Baskin,  has  an 
enrollment  of  58  pupils.     The  scholars  are  making  good  progress. 

A  Relic  of  Slavery. 

With  reference  to  the  infamous  system  of  enslaving  Chinese  girls, 
we  quote  a  passage  or  two  from  the  Occident  of  March  1 6th  as  fol- 
lows. It  is  part  of  a  letter  written  from  Pasadena,  and  evidently 
from  the  pen  of  Rev.  A.  M.  Merwin,  formerly  missionary  of  the  Board 
in  Chili : 

"  That  rescue  last  week  of  a  Chinese  slave  woman  in  Los  Angeles 
was  more  than  a  romantic  affair.  From  what  may  be  gathered  from 
the  press  it  appears  that  she  was  abducted  from  San  Francisco,  brought 
hither,  and  obliged  to  marry  a  Chinaman,  who  made  use  of  the  cer- 
emony as  a  legal  shield  to  protect  him  while  he  held  the  woman  as  a 
slave.  Miss  Culbertson,  of  the  Presbyterian  Chinese  Home  in  San 
Francisco,  quickly  followed  the  victim,  arranged  to  meet  her  privately 
at  night,  found  her  only  too  glad  to  escape  from  servitude,  and  the 
two  were  soon  on  their  way  to  San  Francisco  on  the  midnight  train. 
At  Fresno  they  were  detained  by  a  deputy  sheriff,  who  had  telegraphic 
orders  from  Los  Angeles  to  arrest  the  woman  on  a  trumped-up  charge 
of  larceny.  Miss  Culbertson  appealed  to  a  lawyer  of  that  city,  Mr. 
Drew  to  render  aid  'for  humanity's  sake.'  Prompt  assistance  was 
given.  The  warrant  was  found  to  be  illegal  in  its  form,  and  the  pris- 
oner was  released  on  the  same  day  as  the  arrest.  By  private  convey- 
ance and  a  roundabout  route  the  hunted  woman  and  her  kind  pro- 
tectress reached  a  railway  station,  from  whence  they  proceeded  to 
San  Francisco  without  molestation,  and  thus  far  '  the  hounds  of  the 
law'  have  been  unsuccessful  in  ferreting  out  the  hiding-place  of  the 
rescued  slave.  If  Miss  Culbertson  were  to  appear  on  our  streets  to- 
day, and  were  recognized,  hundreds  of  men  would  uncover  their  heads 
in  token  of  their  respect  and  admiration.  More  than  ordinary  wisdom 
was  needed  to  convict  '  the  heathen  Chinee,'  and  bring  to  bay  officials 
that  '  likee  China  money  all  same  Melican.'  Love  for  that  poor  slave, 
and  for  Him  who  died  for  her,  made  swift  the  feet  of  the  rescuer,  and 
her  steps  were  divinely  guided  as  she  hourly  looked  upward.  It  is 
most  refreshing  to  see  in  this  morning's  Times  of  Los  Angeles  a  long 
editorial  in  which  this  form  of  Chinese  slavery  is  strongly  condemned, 
and  the  statement  made  that  'officers  of  the  law,  attorneys,  and  courts, 
at  least  in  this  city,  are  becoming  more  wary  about  lending  their  influ- 
ence, under  legal  processes,  to  sustain  the  iniquity.'  And  you  can 
judge  of  public  sentiment  on  this  question  by  the  significant  closing 
of  that  editorial :  '  Thus,  in  one  more  instance,  Chinese  slavery,  aided 
and  abetted  by  forms  of  law,  has  been  defeated.  There  are  many 
more  unfortunates  to  rescue,  and  the  public  will  wish  Miss  Culbertson 
and  her  associates  God-speed  in  their  good  work.'  " 


CHINESE   AND  JAPANESE   IN   U.    S. — VISITATIONS.         87 

House-to-House  Visitation. 

An  interesting  work  is  carried  on  under  the  auspices  of  the  Women's 
Occidental  Board  in  house-to-house  visitation  in  San  Francisco,  Oak- 
land, and  other  cities.  Mrs.  Page,  of  San  Francisco,  and  Mrs.  Rus- 
sell, of  East  Oakland,  made  nearly  three  hundred  calls  at  Chinese 
and  Japanese  homes,  giving  away  tracts  and  cards.  When  not  ad- 
mitted into  the  Japanese  homes  they  passed  in  beautiful  Japanese  cards, 
with  Scripture  texts,  under  the  windows.  The  Chinese  women  are 
more  and  more  anxious  to  have  their  children  taught.  "The  'shut-in' 
women,"  says  the  report,  "will  ask  me  to  buy  woiking  material  for 
them,  thus  showing  confidence  by  trusting  me  with  their  money.  One 
silk  merchant  seemed  pleased  that  I  called  upon  his  wife  and  children, 
and  said  he  would  tack  our  card  on  the  wall.  He  asked  several  ques- 
tions about  Dr.  Loomis.  For  example:  'Where  did  he  go  when  he 
died?  Would  he  always  sleep?  Was  the  other  life  like  this  r*  Do 
we  eat  in  that  place  ? '  One  Japanese  woman  begged  that  we  would 
not  come  again  ;  for  she  said  she  had  learned  about  the  Gospel  and 
knew  she  was  doing  wrong,  and  our  words  troubled  her  so  much  that 
she  did  not  want  to  see  us."  "  There  is  an  immense  work  to  be 
done,"  says  Mrs.  Page's  report,  "and  it  can  be  effectively  done  only 
by  dividing  up  Chinatown  into  small  districts  and  dividing  the  labor." 
Mrs.  Russell's  work  in  East  Oakland  has  been  most  encouraging. 

From  Los  Angeles  Mrs.  Chapin  reports:  "A  new  song  of  thanks- 
giving is  put  into  the  lips  of  your  missionary  after  years  of  crying  to 
God  for  it.  The  women  of  the  churches  have  become  so  awakened 
in  the  work  for  the  women  in  Chinatown  that  in  the  spirit  of  the 
Master  they  go  from  house  to  house  patiently  and  tenderly  showing 
and  telling  of  the  love  of  Jesus.  They  are  gathering  all  the  women 
that  can  be  induced  to  come  together  for  prayers.  They  sing  beau- 
tiful hymns,  and  several  not  Christians  are  learning  to  pray.  A  new 
interest  is  shown  in  the  reading  of  the  Bible,  which  is  loaned  a  week 
at  a  time." 

In  San  Diego  Mrs.  Tyler  has  been  engaged  in  this  same  kind  of 
work,  with  a  good  degree  of  success.  The  increased  number  of  women 
in  all  parts  of  California  is  greatly  arousing  the  interest  of  Christian 
women,  and  this  new  department  of  work  seems  likely  to  be  among 
the  most  promising. 

At  San  Jose  Miss  Cary  has  also  had  a  part  in  the  same  noble  cause, 
having  visited  more  or  less  eighteen  different  families.  Her  heart  has 
been  pained  by  seeing  young  girls  bought  and  taken  away  from  her 
influence  over  them. 

Mrs.  Wheeler,  of  San  Rafael ;  Miss  M.  E.  Alexander  and  Miss  A. 
M.  Houseworth,  of  San  Francisco,  and  Miss  M.  Wilson,  of  Sacra- 
mento, have  also  been  engaged  in  house-to-house  visitation. 

It  is  a  matter  of  great  regret  that  Miss  E.  R.  Cable,  who  began  this 
work  with  much  bravery  years  ago,  has  been  laid  aside  by  ill  health. 
Her  effort  and  her  courage  in  overcoming  obstacles  and  prej- 
udices, and  persisting  in  finding  her  way  into  the  homes  and  dens  where 
Chinese  women  were  found,  have  wrought  an  influence  which  is  now

bearing  fruit,  and  bids  fair  to  bear  fruit  in  the  years  to  come,  all  over 
California. 

Oakland. 

The  work  in  Oakland,  now  under  the  immediate  care  of  Rev.  Mr. 
and  Mrs  Condit,  has  been  very  encouraging  during  the  year.  There 
is  a  marked  increase  of  interest  all  along  the  line.  The  evening- 
schools  grow  in  numbers  in  spite  of  the  gradual  decrease  of  the 
Chinese  population.  The  two  new  teachers,  Miss  Smith  and  Miss 
Burbank,  have  entered  upon  the  work  with  new  courage.  At  the 
close  of  the  school  before  Chinese  New- Year  exercises  were  held,  in 
which  the  Chinese,  by  singing  and  speaking,  interested  and  surprised 
a  crowded  house  of  American  people.  The  Sabbath-school,  under 
the  superintendence  of  Mr.  N.  W.  Winton,  has  greatly  prospered. 
With  a  corps  of  earnest  and  faithful  teachers  he  has  doubled  the 
numbers  of  the  school.  Sometimes  thirty-two  pupils  have  been 
present.  Eight  persons  have  been  added  to  the  church  during  the 
year,  making  a  total  at  present  of  fifty  members.  Five  of  the  eight 
were  received  by  baptism.  Five  religious  services  are  held  in  the 
Chinese  language  during  each  week.  These  have  been  well  attended, 
as  also  the  prayer-meeting  of  the  week.  Mr.  Condit  has  occasionally 
changed  with  Mr.  Kerr,  who  has  charge  of  the  church  in  San 
Francisco,  in  the  Sabbath  morning  services.  The  discouraging  point 
in  the  work  at  Oakland  is  the  lack  of  new  material.  Most  of  those 
who  attend  are  already  Christians.  New  Chinese  residents  are  few. 
Still,  a  few  new  ones  do  attend,  as  the  five  baptisms  of  the  year  will 
show.  The  contributions  of  the  church  during  the  year  have  been 
gratifying,  amounting  to  $375.  The  Mission  Band,  under  the  direc- 
tion of  Mrs.  Condit,  has  raised  over  $100,  the  Chinese  having  set 
their  hearts  on  using  the  same  for  the  support  of  a  native  helper  in 
China,  who  is  to  spend  his  whole  time  in  going  about  from  place  to 
place  in  preaching  the  Gospel.  Mrs.  Condit,  always  efficient,  has 
continued  her  labors  in  various  lines  of  missionary  work. 

Sacramento. 

During  part  of  the  year  the  work  of  the  mission  was  maintained  with 
encouiagement.  Dissensions,  however,  arose  at  length,  caused  by  the 
conduct  of  two  or  three  unworthy  members,  and  the  work  suffered. 
The  evening-school  has  been  suspended.  Visiting  in  the  homes  and 
teaching  the  women  and  children  are  pursued,  however,  as  vigorously 
as  possible  by  Miss  Wilson. 

Stockton. 

At  the  beginning  of  the  year  a  good  teacher  was  secured  for  the 
new  mission  at  Stockton.  Excellent  work  has  been  done.  Two 
promising  young  men  were  baptized  and  received  into  the  Presbyterian 
Church,  the  first-fruits  of  the  mission.  Others  are  preparing  for  bap- 
tism. The  school  meets  in  the  parlor  of  the  Presbyterian  church. 
At  Chinese  New- Year  a  pleasant  entertainment  was  given  by  the 
Chinese  to  their  American  friends. 


CHINESE   AND   JAPANESE   IN   U.    S. — LOS   ANGELES.        89 

Los  Angeles. 

The  Los  Angeles  Chinese  Christian  young  men  hold  on  faithfully 
to  their  work.  They  have  no  missionary  now  living  among  them,  and 
a  native  helper  only  a  part  of  the  time.  Mr.  Condit  visited  this  work 
recently,  and  found  some  increase  in  the  school.  A  number  who  are 
not  in  the  school  attend  the  evening  lectures  which  are  given  at  the 
close  of  the  school  session.  The  Morrison  Band  still  prospers,  their 
contributions  being  given  for  the  support  of  a  native  helper  in  China. 
Mrs.  Noble  and  Miss  Boone  are  still  faithfully  at  work,  teaching  in  the 
evening- school.  Not  less  than  50  Chinamen  have  been  in  attend- 
ance during  the  year.  The  Kindergarten  has  grown  in  numbers,  and 
now  has  12  children  in  attendance.  Its  teacher,  Miss  Quick,  is  very 
successful  in  her  work.  Mrs.  Chapin,  formerly  a  missionary  in  China, 
is  employed  by  the  ladies  to  do  work  among  the  women  in  Chinatown. 
She  also  holds  meetings  among  the  men,  whom  she  gathers  into  a 
school,  and  she  reports  a  deep  interest  being  taken  by  several  of  the 
number  in  learning  the  truths  of  Christianity.  A  Christian  layman, 
whom  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Condit  taught  many  years  ago,  preaches  on  the 
Sabbath  when  the  native  helper  is  absent. 

San  Diego. 

This  little  Chinese  community  now  numbers  28  Christians  who  are 
connected  with  the  First  Presbyterian  Church.  Three  have  been 
baptized  during  the  year.  There  are  72  names  on  the  school  roll, 
though  the  average  attendance  is  somewhat  diminished.  Mrs.  Mc- 
Kenzie,  who  has  taught  for  ten  or  twelve  years,  still  continues  her 
faithful  labors.  Rev.  Dr.  Noble  takes  a  warm  interest  in  the  work, 
and  sets  a  noble  example  for  other  pastors  to  follow.  The  success  in 
San  Diego  is  largely  due  to  his  care  and  work.  A  small  school  for 
children  is  maintained  in  Chinatown.  The  work  among  women  is 
done  by  a  lady  who  is  supported  by  the  Occidental  Board. 

Santa  Barbara. 

The  school  at  this  place  has  been  very  successful  during  the  year. 
Its  former  teacher,  Miss  Twitchell,  was  obliged  to  resign  on  account 
of  health,  and  the  work  was  taken  up  by  Mrs.  S.  B.  Bell,  aided  by  Miss 
L.  Flo)d.  Under  their  management  the  school  has  grown  in  num. 
bers,  40  scholars  having  been  in  attendance.  The  young  men  here 
have  been  struggling  with  a  debt  for  an  Association  Hall  and  Home, 
which,  by  their  perseverance  and  aid  of  friends,  is  nearly  extinguished. 
The  Chinese  Adams  Mission  Band  has  contributed  for  the  support  of 
a  native  helper  in  China. 

San  Jose. 

The  Evening  School,  which  was  carried  on  by  volunteer  teachers 
for  several  months  of  the  year,  with  a  fair  attendance,  was,  on  account 
of  local  causes,  suspended.  '*  We  desire,"  says  the  mission  report,  "  to 
reopen  it  as  soon  as  a  teacher  can  be  found.  Chinatown  is  a  long 
distance  from  the  American  population,  the  roads   leading  to  it  are 


90  JAPANESE    IN   CALIFORNIA. 

dark  at  night  and  often  muddy,  and  it  is  difficult  to  find  a  suitable 
teacher  who  would  endure  the  burden  of  the  work  at  a  salary  of  even 
twice  that  which  we  are  able  to  offer."  The  Sabbath-school  is  main- 
tained in  the  First  Presbyterian  Church. 

Alameda. 

F  Under  the  devoted  teaching  of  Mrs.  Fraser  and  her  daughter  the 
Alameda  Mission  continues  to  accomplish  excellent  results.  Three 
young  men  have  just  been  received  into  the  church  by  baptism,  and 
two  others  expect  to  present  themselves  for  examination  at  the  next 
communion  season.  One  of  those  baptized  manifested  in  former 
years  much  hostility  to  the  school,  and  repeatedly  induced  pupils  who 
had  become  interested  in  Christian  truth  to  leave  it.  But  led  in  by 
repeated  invitations,  and  perhaps  by  curiosity,  he  became  a  pupil  and 
is  now  a  sincere  follower  of  Christ. 

Regular  preaching  services  are  maintained  on  Thursday  and  Sabbath 
evenings  by  the  missionaries  from  San  Francisco  and  Oakland  and  by 
native  assistants.  A  delightful  Christmas  service  was  held  in  the 
school.  The  new  chapel  is  highly  appreciated,  and  has  repeatedly  on 
special  occasions  been  filled  to  overflowing. 

Napa. 

The  little  company  of  Christian  Chinese  at  Napa  has  been  encour- 
aged during  the  year  by  the  faithful  teaching  of  Mr.  Goodman  and  a 
few  other  friends.  The  number  attending  the  school  is  not  large,  but 
all  are  interested,  and  some  display  earnestness  and  sincerity  in  seek- 
ing to  know  the  truth  and  follow  it. 

Santa  Rosa. 

The  Santa  Rosa  Mission  has  suffered  from  removals,  no  less  than 
five  of  its  oldest  members  having  left  to  accept  places  in  the  larger 
cities  during  the  year.  Nevertheless  the  mission  has  done  good  work 
under  the  care  of  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Wilson  and  other  friends,  and  two  of 
the  scholars  have  formally  renounced  idolatry  and  united  with  the 
Christian  Association.  They  are  not,  however,  yet  prepared  for 
baptism. 

San  Rafael. 

The  mission  in  San  Rafael,  under  the  consecrated  teaching  of  Mrs. 
Shaver,  has  had,  probably,  the  most  prosperous  year  in  its  history. 
Six  united  with  the  Christian  Association  ;  one  was  baptized  and  re- 
ceived into  the  church,  and  an  earnest  class  meets  for  Bible  study  at 
the  close  of  the  school  every  night. 

The  contributions  during  the  year  were  $205,  besides  generous  aid 
given  for  medical  treatment  to  a  sick  member. 

Mission  among  the  Japanese  in  California. 

This  work  has  been  conducted  during  the  year  by  Dr.  and  Mrs. 
Sturge,  assisted  by  Mr.  K.  Mitani,  an  educated  Japanese.     It  has  sev- 


JAPANESE    IN   CALIFORNIA.  91 

eral  peculiarities.  It  is  carried  on  among  young  men,  even  more 
exclusively  than  that  which  is  done  among  the  Chinese.  It  also  deals 
not  with  common  laborers  so  much,  as  with  partially  educated  young 
men  who  are  seeking  for  an  increased  knowledge  and  preparation  for 
professional  or  other  forms  of  work  in  Japan.  All  this  implies  a  con- 
stantly changing  condition  of  thing?.  Probably  no  mission  field  in  the 
world  has  greater  promise  in  proportion,  either  to  the  numbers  reached 
or  to  the  expense  involved.  At  the  same  time  it  is  true  that  an  actual 
exhibit  of  results  must  be  limited,  because  those  who  have  received 
Christian  influences  and  training  soon  disappear  from  the  field.  Dr. 
Sturge  in  his  report  has  aptly  described  the  condition  of  the  work  as 
follows  : 

"As  a  grapevine  will  sometimes  climb  over  the  enclosure  where  it 
has  been  carefully  tended  and  bear  its  choicest  clusters  on  the  other 
side,  so  is  it  with  our  work  here.  We  plant  and  water,  but  the  finest 
fruit  must  be  sought  on  the  other  side  of  the  Pacific.  The  purpose  of 
the  majority  of  the  Japanese  who  come  under  our  care  is  to  get  an  edu- 
cation rather  than  to  accumulate  money,  and  having  accomplished  their 
purpose  they  return  to  their  beautiful  island  home.  We  are  always  sorry 
to  have  our  boys  leave  us,  but  we  rejoice  that  many  of  them  go  back  to 
use  their  influence  for  the  advancement  of  the  Master's  cause.  At  the 
present  time  four  of  our  young  men  who  were  converted  while  study- 
ing here  are  practicing  as  Christian  physicians  in  Japan.  A  few  of 
our  former  pupils  are  teaching  in  Japanese  schools  ;  one  is  a  professor 
in  the  Agricultural  College  at  Osaka;  one  is  a  Christian  interpreter  in 
Honolulu,  and  two  are  evangelists  among  their  own  people.  One 
young  man,  formerly  an  elder  in  our  church,  will  graduate  this  spring 
from  the  Y.  M.  C.  A.  Training  School  at  Springfield,  Mass.  Two 
others  are  taking  the  regular  course  in  the  Presbyterian  Theological 
Seminary  here.  All  these  in  time  will  tell  in  the  good  work  in  Japan 
and  Hawaii. 

"  Two  of  our  former  members  have  written  to  us  from  Japan  that 
their  wives  (through  their  influence)  have  recently  accepted  the 
Saviour  and  been  baptized.  Unlike  the  Chinese  of  California,  who 
come  almost  exclusively  from  one  province,  our  boys  come  from  every 
part  of  the  'Sunrise  Kingdom,'  and  in  the  future  their  influence  will 
be  widely  felt  in  Japan.  Though  the  Japanese  among  us  are  nearly 
all  poor  and  obliged  to  support  themselves  by  working  in  families,  they 
have  contributed  liberally  to  the  work. 

"The  rent  of  the  two  houses,  at  present  used  as  a  home,  church,  and 
school,  is,  including  gas  and  water,  more  than  $100  per  month.  Of 
this  sum  the  young  men  have  paid  two-thirds,  the  other  third  being 
appropriated  by  the  Board.  Besides  this  the  members  have  con- 
tributed S3 1 1  for  the  church  and  benevolent  purposes,  $53  being  sent 
to  the  sufferers  from  the  recent  earthquake  in  Japan.  We  have  had  no 
religious  awalcening  during  the  past  year,  and  the  accessions  to  the 
church  have  numbered  but  nine,  six  upon  profession  and  three  by  letter. 
We  are  not  at  all  satisfied  with  this,  and  confidently  look  for  better 
things  in  the  future." 

The  present  quarters  of  the    Japanese   Mission  in  California  are 


92  CHINESE    AND    JAPANESE    IN    U.    S. — PORTLAND. 

poorly  adapted  to  the  work.  The  building  is  crowded,  and  the  rooms 
used  for  religions  services  are  wholly  inadequate.  Fifty  or  sixty  fre- 
quently crowd  into  a  room  in  which  only  forty  can  be  seated.  The 
mission  report  expresses  a  hope  that  the  building  formerly  occupied 
by  the  Presbyterian  Theological  Seminary  may  be  found  available  for 
this  work.  Surely  such  a  step  is  desirable  if  it  be  found  at  all  within 
the  reach  of  the  mission. 

The  Japanese  Young  Men's  Christian  Association  connected  with 
this  church  now  numbers  90  members,  all  the  active  members  being 
connected  with  the  church. 

There  has  been  an  average  attendance  of  about  20  at  the  night- 
school.  Some  of  the  young  men  find  occupation  during  the  mornings 
and  evenings,  and  attend  in  school  hours  some  of  the  day-schrols  of 
the  city.  A  year  ago  one  of  the  members  of  the  church  graduated 
from  the  High  School,  and  is  now  a  student  in  Stanford  University. 
During  all  his  studies  he  supported  himself  by  working  as  a  servant  in 
a  family. 

On  the  whole,  the  work  among  the  Japanese  in  San  Francisco  be- 
comes every  day  more  important,  as  increasing  numbers  are  arriving 
and  are  taking  the  places  of  departing  Chinamen.  The  station  report 
savs  :  '■  Were  it  not  for  this  work  and  a  similar  one  being  done  by  our 
Methodist  brethren,  most  of  the  Japanese  who  come  here,  away  from 
all  restraint  of  home,  and  surrounded  by  the  influences  of  this  wicked 
city,  would  go  to  destruction,  instead  of  returning,  as  many  of  them 
do,  to  be  a  blessing  to  their  own  land." 

During  the  first  three  months  of  the  year  Rev.  A.  Hattori  was 
associated  with  Dr.  Sturge.  During  the  last  seven  months  Mr.  K. 
Mitani  has  rendered  efficient  set  vice.  Rev.  A.  J.  Kerr  officiates  at 
all  the  communion  services. 

The  mission  report  urges  the  extension  of  the  work  for  the  Japanese 
to  other  cities  of  the  Pacific  coast.  Five  hundred  Japanese  are  al- 
ready found  in  Portland  and  in  other  cities.  They  are  establishing 
themselves  as  at  least  temporary  lesidents,  and  it  is  desirable,  if  pos- 
sible, to  meet  them  at  once  with  a  saving  influence  of  Christian 
instruction  and  sympathy. 

Portland. 

Mr.  and  Mrs.  Holt  have  continued  their  work  among  the  Chinese 
in  Portland  and  elsewhere  without  interruption  during  the  year. 
There  are  in  Oregon  and  Washington  from  8,000  to  10.000  Chinamen, 
of  whom  about  3,000  are  in  Portland;  a  number  varjing  from  500  to 
r.ooo  in  Astoria,  according  to  the  salmon  season  ;  a  few  hundred  at 
The  Dalles,  and  about  100  each  in  Salem,  Albany,  Pendleton,  and 
elsewhere. 

The  church  services  have  been  kept  up  during  the  year,  the  attend- 
ance in  the  summer  months  being  considerably  diminished  by  reasons 
above  stated.  Eight  converts  have  been  received  into  the  church 
since  the  last  report,  making  a  total  of  28  members.  These  are 
widely  scattered.  One  is  in  Duluth,  two  in  Boston,  one  in  St.  Louis, 
one   in   San   Francisco,  and   two  in  China.     Of  contributions  of  the 


CHINESE   AND   JAPANESE    IN    U.    S. — PORTLAND.  93 

Chinamen  $19.90  have  been  sent  to  the  Treasurer  of  the  Board; 
$22.25  have  been  paid  toward  the  employment  of  a  Chinese  lay- 
preacher. 

The  work  of  the  station  is  to  a  considerable  extent  that  of  Christian 
night-schools.  In  the  Portland  school  many  pupils  have  been  enrolled, 
but  the  average  has  been  only  about  20  The  work  done  has  from 
the  first  been  systematic  and  efficient.  The  numbers  in  attendance 
vary  according  to  the  attraciions  of  summer  work  in  the  mines  or 
elsewhere.  Efforts  have  been  made  to  maintain  schools  in  Astoria, 
Salem,  Ashland,  and  other  towns,  but  it  has  been  found  impossible  to 
continue  them  amid  the  vicissitudes  to  which  these  smaller  places 
are  liable.  The  report  says  :  "  While  Dr.  S.  M.  Campbell  was  in 
Astoria  a  school  of  forty  pupils  was  maintained.  It  continued  until 
the  Chinese  obtained  work  on  a  railroad,  and  until  Dr.  Campbell  re- 
moved from  the  place,  and  the  church  was  left  without  a  minister. 
During  the  interval  die  Baptist  Church  started  a  school,  and  so  the 
work  pissed  into  other  hands"  Meanwhile,  schools  were  started  by 
the  Presbyterian  Church  among  the  Finns  and  Scandinavians.  This 
called  for  the  services  of  all  the  available  teachers.  These  facts  are 
given  to  show  that  changes  in  the  work  Ho  not  always  indicate  an 
abandonment  of  effort,  nor  necessarily  the  neglect  of  the  Chinese.  In 
Portland  there  are  six  schools  among  the  Chinese,  carried  on  by 
different  denominations. 

An  important  element  connected  with  the  mission  station  in  Port- 
land is  that  of  possible  influence  exerted  on  Chinese  communities 
scattered  through  the  great  Northwest.  In  Washington  there  are 
a  few  hundred  Chinese  ;  in  Olympia,  Seattle,  Port  Tovvnsend,  Ellens- 
burg,  Yakina,  Spokane,  and  Walla  Walla  also.  To  follow  up  by  at  least 
indirect  influence  all  these  little  communities  is  exceedingly  desirable, 
and  it  is  hoped  that  our  missionary,  Mr  Holt,  by  correspondence 
with  pastors  of  his  own  or  other  denominations,  may  be  able  to  give 
impulse  to  effort  in  these  various  places. 

Colportage  has  received  more  attention  than  ever  before,  through 
the  assistance  of  a  Chinaman  who  is  glad  to  do  this  work.  Several 
hundred  tracts  and  portions  of  the  Bible  have  been  distributed.  A 
systematic  visitation  of  the  Chinese  has  been  made  at  Astoria,  and  is 
now  in  progress  in  Portland. 

The  Chinese  Home  in  Portland. 

The  Chinese  Home  for  women  and  girls  has  continued  its  good 
work.  Most  of  the  pupils  have  been  eligibly  married,  so  that  only 
three  girls  are  at  present  in  the  institution,  but  outside  of  the  Home 
important  assistance  has  been  given  to  several  women  without  ex- 
pense to  the  mission.  This  is  to  be  preferred,  when  found  practicable, 
to  receiving  them  into  the  Home,  which  involves  their  support.  Mr. 
Holt's  report  says :  u  Our  Home  is  worth  more  than  a  school,  and  has 
done  good  work,  having  helped  twenty  Chinese  women  and  girls. 
It  is  beset  by  many  difficulties  and  anxieties,  and  takes  most  of  Mrs. 
Holt's  time,  as  well  as  that  of  the  matron,  who  cannot  yet  speak 
Chinese,  and  who  cannot  leave  the  Home  for  outside  work." 


94  CHINESE   IN   NEW   YORK — STATISTICS. 


The  Chinese  in  JVew  York. 

The  woik  among  the  Chinese  in  New  York,  of  which  the  Hoard  has 
the  supervision,  has  seen  little  change,  but  it  has  held  its  steady  course 
of  prosperity.  Mr.  Huie  Kin,  an  educated  Chinaman,  has  had  the 
superintendence,  living  with  his  family  in  the  house  occupied  as  mis- 
sion headquarters.  The  number  enrolled  in  the  Sabbath-school  is  159. 
Classes  are  taught,  also,  on  one  or  two  evenings  of  the  week,  and 
one  on  Monday  mornings  by  Mrs.  Huie.  The  mission-rooms  are 
always  open  for  men  who  may  be  attracted  thither.  Two  young  men 
have  united  with  the  church — one  by  profession,  the  other  by  letter. 
Five  have  been  hopefully  converted.      One  child  has  been  baptized. 

Mr.  Huie  has  given  care  to  seventeen  sick  men  of  his  own  race, 
taking  some  to  the  hospital  and  caring  for  others  privately.  Some 
assistance  has  also  been  rendered  to  those  who  had  fallen  into  trouble, 
involving  law  questions  and  calling  for  defense. 

One  young  man  is  preparing  to  enter  a  medical  college,  with  a  view 
to  returning  to  his  country  as  a  medical  missionary.  Ten  Christian 
young  men  have  returned  to  China  from  this  mission,  and  are  scat- 
tered in  different  parts  of  trfe  country,  exerting  more  or  less  influence 
for  good. 

Stiff  prejudices  are  still  encountered  in  the  conduct  of  this  work, 
but  there  are  also  many  friends  ready  to  give  a  helping  hand.  Mem- 
bers of  the  University  Place  Church,  Dr.  George  Alexander,  pastor, 
have  put  forth  assiduous  efforts  in  the  Sunday-school  and  other  ser- 
vices. Some  effort  has  been  made  for  the  women  and  children  found 
in  Mott  Street,  of  whom  there  is  a  constantly  increasing  number.  The 
Boy's  Mission  Band  of  the  University  Place  Church  gave  an  exhibition 
of  stereopticon  views  for  the  benefit  of  these  women  and  children. 

The  contributions  of  the  young  men  connected  with  this  mission 
have  amounted  to  $209.46,  of  which  $144.69  was  given  for  the  Board 
of  Foreign  Missions.

MISSION  IN  GUATEMALA. 

Organized  in  18S2  :  station,  Guatemala  City,  about  60  miles  from  the  seaport  of  San 
Jose  ;  laborers — Rev.  Messrs.  E.  M.  Haymaker  and  D.  Y.  Iddings,  and  their  wives. 

The  most  notable  event  connected  with  this  mission  during  the 
year  is  the  dedication  of  the  house  of  worship,  which  has  been  in 
process  of  erection  for  a  year  or  two  past.  The  building,  though 
not  quite  completed,  is  sufficiently  so  for  the  holding  of  seniles 
The  dedication  took  place  on  Sabbath,  February  29th,  and  was  at- 
tended by  upwards  of  three  hundred  persons,  including  represent- 
atives of  the  diplomatic  corps.  The  secular  press  of  the  city  was 
represented  in  the  audience,  and  one  liberal  paper,  Las  Notia'as, 
devoted  three  of  its  editorial  columns  to  a  highly  commendatory 
article  on  the  dedication.  President  Barrios,  when  notified  by  our 
missionaries  of  the  completion  of  the  church,  remarked  :  "  I  wish 
that  instead  of  one  there  were  many  such  churches  in  the  Republic, 
for  they  and  the  Protestant  schools  are  a  moral  power  which  greatly 
improve  our  people."  The  political  excitement  through  which  the 
country  has  been  passing,  and  which  has  necessarily  retarded  mis- 
sion work,  has  subsided  since  the  inauguration  of  General  Barrios  as 
President  of  the  Republic,  which  took  place  March  15th.  The  at- 
tendance on  both  English  and  Spanish  preaching  has  increased  since 
the  opening  of  the  new  church. 

The  Boys'  School,  established  last  year,  has  succeeded  quite  be- 
yond the  expectation  of  the  missionaries.  It  had  a  roll  of  thirty-four 
pupils  in  the  day-school,  and  twenty-four  in  the  night-school.  The 
attendance  of  the  former  was  regular,  that  of  the  latter  somewhat 
irregular.  In  both  sections  of  the  school  religious  instruction  is 
given  without  restriction.  "  Besides  a  daily  lecture  on  morals,  there 
is  a  class  for  studying  religious  truth  each  day,  the  interrogatory 
method  being  used,  the  older  pupils  being  required  both  to  write 
and  explain  portions  of  the  Bible." 

In  the  line  of  evangelistic  work,  Mr.  Haymaker  reports  a  tour 
over  the  territory  covered  by  Victor  Gonzalez,  with  the  magic  lan- 
tern, some  two  years  ago.  His  route  lay  over  a  rough,  mountainous 
road,  which  could  only  be  travelled  on  horseback  or  on  foot.  He 
encountered  a  serious  difficulty  in  the  scourge  of  small-pox,  which 
last  year  was  confined  mainly  to  the  capital  and  western  towns.  Mr. 
Haymaker  writes  :  "  For  about  two-thirds  of  the  way  around  the 
circuit  the  towns  were  fairly  prostrated  with  it,  and  great  numbers 
were  dying  daily.  In  one  small  town  of  five  hundred  houses,  four 
hundred  and  sixty  persons  had  died,  and  the  disease  had  not  abated. 
In  another  of  the  same  size,  two  hundred  and  twenty  had  died,  and 
persons  were  still  dying  at  the  rate  of  from  eight  to  fifteen  daily. 
These  poor  people,  knowing  nothing  about  contagion,  do  nothing 
toward  isolation   and   precaution.      I   have   known   them   to   sleep,

wrapped  in  the  same  cotton  covering  that  had  wrapped  a  well- 
developed  case  of  small-pox  a  few  hours  before."  in  view  of  this 
statement,  it  is  not  to  be  wondered  at  that  80,000  people  fell  under 
this  terrible  disease  during  the  year.  Itineration  in  such  circum- 
stances could  only  be  undertaken  at  the  peril  of  life. 

Concerning  the  issuing  of  tracts,  Mr.  Haymaker  writes:  "We 
have  a  beautiful  little  building,  an  attractive  salesroom,  a  good  sup- 
ply of  type  and  presses,  turning  out  tracts  a  good  part  of  the  time, 
and  a  constantly  increasing  number  of  tract  agencies  through  the 
country."  It  is  a  growing  conviction  with  the  brethren  at  this  mis- 
sion that  the  distribution  of  tracts  and  the  selling  of  books  are 
among  the  most  important  agencies  for  the  dissemination  of  the 
Gospel  in  Guatemala.

Lodiana  Mission. 

This  mission  has  been  greatly  bereaved  during  the  year  by  the  death 
of  the  Rev.  John  Newton,  D.D.,  which  occurred  at  Murree,  July  2, 
1891.  Dr.  Newton  was  the  oldest  missionary  of  any  society  in  the 
Punjab,  and  the  oldest  connected  with  our  India  missions.  He. was 
the  last  of  the  second  company  of  missionaries  sent  to  that  field  by 
the  Presbyterian  Church.  He  landed  in  Calcutta  February  25,  183s, 
not  yet  twenty-five  years  of  age,  and  immediately  joined  the  mission 
which  had  just  been  planted  in  the  Punjab,  and  where  for  fifty-six 
years  he  continued  to  live  and  labor  with  the  exception  of  an  occa- 
sional furlough  for  rest  and  change.  Dr.  Newton  was  eminently  a 
man  of  God,  and  was  greatly  beloved  and  honored  by  all  classes  of 
people  both  native  and  foreign.  His  life  was  singularly  pure  and 
beautiful,  admirably  illustrating  the  power  of  the  Gospel  he  com- 
mended to  others.  He  was  earnest  and  faithful  in  his  preaching,  wise 
in  counsel,  and  broad  and  hopeful  in  his  views  of  mission  work. 
Dr.  Newton  devoted  much  time  and  strength  to  literary  work,  and  is 
said  to  have  "  laid  the  foundations  of  Christian  literature  in  the  Punjabi 
language."  He  was  the  author  of  the  Grammar  in  that  language, 
and  joint  author  of  the  only  Dictionary  in  it.  He  also  translated  the 
New  Testament  into  Punjabi,  prepared  a  number  of  tracts  and  small 
books  in  that  tongue  and  in  the  Hindi  and  Urdu,  and  published  a 
commentary  on  the  Epistle  to  the  Ephesians  in  Roman  Urdu.  This 
veteran  missionary  had   the   joy  of  welcoming  four   sons   and    one 


IOO  INDIA — RAWAL   PINDI. 

daughter  to  the  missionary  work  in  India,  of  whom  three  sons  still 
survive.  Mrs.  Newton,  whose  health  did  not  admit  of  longer  resi- 
dence in  India,  has  returned  to  her  friends  in  England. 

The  Rev.  J  M.  and  Mrs.  McComb,  Rev.  C.  B.  Newton,  D.D.,  and 
Mrs.  Newton,  Dr.  F.  J.  Newton  and  Miss  Geisinger  have  rejoined  the 
mission  after  a  furlough  in  the  United  States. 

The  death  of  another  veteran  laborer  in  India  deserves  mention — 
that  of  the  Rev.  Goloknath,  the  first  convert  of  our  India  missions. 
He  belonged  to  a  Brahmin  family,  was  born  in  Bengal  in  1816,  and 
was  educated  in  the  Free  Church  College  in  Calcutta  under  the  care 
of  Dr.  Duff.  The  late  Rev.  John  Newton,  D.D.,  had  much  to  do 
with  guiding  this  young  inquirer  into  the  light.  He  made  a  public  pro- 
fession of  his  faith  in  1835,  and  at  once  began  to  prepare  for  the 
ministry.  In  1847  he  was  ordained  by  the  Lodiana  Presbytery  and 
assigned  to  the  Jalandhar  station,  where  he  remained  until  his  death. 
Mr.  Goloknath,  in  addition  to  his  labors  as  preacher  and  teacher, 
wrote  a  number  of  books  and  tracts  in  the  Urdu  and  Punjabi  lan- 
guages. The  three  best  known  are  "The  Destroyer  of  Pantheism," 
"The  Whole  Duty  of  Man,"  and  "A  Christian  Inquirer." 

Rawal  Pindi  Station. 

This  station,  one  hundred  and  seventy  miles  northwest  of  Lahore, 
and  some  sixty  miles  east  of  the  Indus,  has  a  population  of  between 
25,000  and  30,000,  including  the  natives  of  the  neighboring  canton- 
ment. The  distance  of  Rawal  Pindi  from  the  other  stations  con- 
nected with  our  mission,  and  the  necessity  of  concentration  in  order 
to  bestow  more  labor  upon  the  districts  within  this  mission,  has  led 
the  Board  of  Foreign  Missions  to  take  steps  for  the  transfer  of  our 
work  there  to  a  sister  denomination.  Negotiations  have  been  opened 
with  this  in  view,  but  no  decision  has  yet  been  reached. 

The  church  at  this  station  is  ministered  to  by  a  native  pastor, 
Rev.  Rala  Ram.  It  numbers  forty-two,  of  whom  one  was  received 
by  examination  during  the  year.  The  Sabbath- school  connected 
with  the  church  has  been  superintended  by  the  senior  missionary, 
Rev.  J.  F.  Ullman,  who  has  also  taught  a  Bible-class  in  the  school. 
In  addition  to  the  services  on  Sunday,  Mr.  Ullman  has  delivered  an 
expository  lecture  on  one  of  the  Gospels  and  two  of  the  Epistles  on 
Thursdays  to  the  members  of  the  church. 

Educational. — There  are  five  schools  connected  with  this  station, 
with  a  total  enrollment  of  1,037.  The  High-School  has  been  under 
the  superintendence  of  Rev.  Robert  Morrison,  who  has  devoted 
from  three  to  four  hours  each  day  to  giving  instruction  in  the  Bible, 
and  also  on  secular  subjects.  The  Sunday-school  held  in  the  High- 
School  building  has  been  attended  by  a  large  number  of  the  stu- 
dents, and  some  of  the  teachers,  and  is  regarded  by  Mr.  Morrison  as 
a  very  encouraging  field  for  Christian  effort.  Of  the  schools  refer- 
red to  above,  one  is  for  girls  with  a  roll  of  one  hundred  and  fourteen, 
under  the  care  of  the  lady  missionaries,  Miss  Donaldson  and  Miss 
Orbison.     A  Sunday-school  for  girls  has  also  been  conducted  by

the  ladies  in  the  same  room  where  this  day-school  is  held.  Another 
school  for  girls  was  opened  in  March,  but  the  transfer  of  these 
ladies  to  Saharanpur,  in  anticipation  of  our  withdrawal  from  Rawal 
Pindi,  has  necessarily  arrested  this  form  of  educational  work  for  a 
time. 

Mr.  Ullman,  now  well  stricken  in  years,  writes  as  follows  concern- 
ing his  work  among  the  lepers  : 

"  From  the  beginning  of  this  year  I  have  regularly,  once  a  week,  visited  the 
Leper  Asylum  at  this  place,  trying  to  do  good  to  the  poor  lepers  in  various 
ways.  I  had  not  the  strength  for  preaching  there  the  Gospel  myself,  but  our 
dear  native  pastor,  who  always  accompanied  me,  and  latterly  also  a  catechist 
of  our  church,  did  it  for  me,  better  than  I  could  have  done  it  myself.  There 
are  about  sixty  inmates,  men,  women,  and  children,  who  are  supported  by  the 
Municipal  Committee  of  Rawal  Pindi,  and  with  one  or  two  exceptions  are  all 
Mohammedans.  Though  enfeebled  in  body  and  mind  by  their  leprosy,  they 
are  yet  as  bigoted  in  their  religion  as  if  they  were  in  good  health,  and  are 
ready  to  oppose  the  preacher  of  the  Gospel  as  much  as  they  can.  The  mis- 
sionaries who  have  to  preach  to  Mohammedan  crowds  know  how  difficult  it  is 
to  produce  a  good  impression  upon  them,  and  how  self-satisfied  they  are  with 
their  own  religious  system.  There  is  one  Mohammedan  in  the  Asylum,  whose 
hands  are  nearly  altogether  eaten  away  by  leprosy,  but  who  when  he  thinks 
his  own  religion  is  not  considered  the  right  one,  and  when  he  hears  that  only 
Jesus  can  give  him  salvation,  will  in  his  anger  lift  up  his  stumps  of  arms,  and 
wave  them  wildly  about,  as  if  he  were  ready  to  fight,  to  show  his  opposition 
to  Christianity,  though  he  is  only  beating  the  air.  He  has  lately  absented 
himself  entirely  from  those  who  are  seated  to  hear  the  Gospel.  There  are, 
however,  many  others,  who  listen  attentively,  or  at  any  rate  who  do  not  show 
their  opposition.  One  of  them  is  a  man  called  Monlawbe  (Doctor  of  Moham- 
medan theology)  who  is  able  to  read,  and  knows  something  of  the  Koran,  who 
will  quietly  and  very  gently  bring  forward  his  kind  of  arguments  in  favor  of 
his  own  religion.  When  we  first  commenced  preaching  salvation  by  Christ, 
the  men  and  women,  or  many  of  them,  would  for  a  while  continue  to  repeat 
in  a  low  voice  their  Kalima,  '  There  is  no  God  but  God,  and  Mohammed  is 
his  apostle,'  as  if  by  so  doing  they  wanted  to  avert  any  evil  effects  that  might 
be  produced  by  the  Gospel  of  Jesus  which  they  heard  from  the  preacher  ;  but 
they  soon  gave  up  that  kind  of  procedure,  and  now  generally  listen  quietly 
to  our  message,  and  only  occasionally  one  or  another  will  show  his  dislike. 
I  have  gradually  been  gaining  their  hearts  by  showing  them  particular  kind- 
ness." 

Mr.  Ullman  has  also  devoted  much  time  to  literary  work  in  Hin- 
dustani. The  great  success  among  the  low  castes  during  the  past 
few  years  has  attracted  the  attention  of  the  Romish  Church.  Mis- 
sionaries have  been  sent  to  proselyte  among  the  native  Christian 
communities.  Because  of  this  Mr.  Ullman  has  prepared  and  pub- 
lished a  work  on  Romanism  in  Hindustani.  He  has  also  completed 
and  published  a  metrical  version  of  the  Book  of  Psalms  for  use  in 
the  native  churches,  and  has  devoted  some  time  to  the  examination 
of  manuscripts  offered  to  the  Punjab  Religious  Book  Society. 

Lahore  Station. 

Lahore  is  the  capital  of  the  Punjab,  the  most  northern  political  di- 
vision of  British  India.  Its  commanding  position  marks  it  as  an  im- 
portant centre  of  missionary  operations,  not  only  because  of  the 
opportunity  it  affords  of  touching  the  educational  life  of  the  Empire 


INDIA — LAHORE.  103 

at  one  of  its  great  centres,  but  because  of  the  populous  district 
within  easy  reach.  Lahore  is  one  of  the  strongholds  of  the  Arya 
Somaj,  noted  for  its  uncompromising  hostility  to  Christianity.  Because 
of  this,  and  the  number  of  educational  institutions  in  the  capital  with- 
out the  leaven  of  the  Gospel,  our  mission  is  brought  into  immediate 
contact  with  the  more  philosophic  phases  of  opposition  to  the  Chris- 
tian system. 

Educational. 

Mission  College. — This  institution  is  undoubtedly  one  of  the  most 
promising  agencies  for  the  building  up  of  Christ's  kingdom  in  the  Pun- 
jab. Besides  exerting  a  direct  healthful  influence  on  the  students  in 
attendance,  it  is  recognized  as  standing  in  the  front  rank  of  educational 
institutions.  The  past  year  is  regarded  as  the  most  successful  in  its 
history,  the  results  of  the  University  examinations  being  in  advance  of 
those  of  any  preceding  year.  In  the  educational  system  of  India 
these  examinations  are  a  necessity,  the  universities  alone  being  com- 
petent to  confer  degrees.  Of  sixteen  candidates  examined  for  the 
degree  of  B.A.,  ten  were  successful,  of  whom  one  took  the  highest 
place  in  mathematics  in  the  province,  receiving  a  Government  schol- 
arship and  a  prize  in  money  ;  while  another  took  the  highest  place  in 
Sanskrit  and  philosophy,  and  secured  a  university  scholarship  and  a 
prize  in  money.  In  what  is  known  as  the  "intermediate"  examina- 
tion thirty  out  of  forty-seven  candidates  were  passed,  of  whom  one 
took  the  highest  place  in  Sanskrit  and  another  in  mathematics.  One 
hundred  and  fifty-six  students  were  enrolled  during  the  year,  of  whom 
ten  are  Christians — the  largest  proportion  yet  reached.  Concerning 
the  religions  training  of  the  students  the  report,  from  the  pen  of 
Principal  Ewing,  says  : 

"All  our  teaching  in  the  college  is  more  or  less  permeated  and  saturated 
with  Christianity.  In  the  Bible  hour,  however,  we  have  a  special  opportunity 
of  exalting  Christ  day  after  day  and  week  after  week  before  the  eyes  of  young 
men  fix  m  all  parts  of  the  province.  It  is  gratifying  to  note  that  with  each  suc- 
ceeding year  interest  in  matters  pertaining  to  our  Lord  and  to  His  kingdom 
seems  to  be  deepening  in  intensity  and  gathering  volume.  From  what  many 
of  the  students  themselves  say  we  feel  that  they  have  correctly  caught  the 
spirit,  the  motive  power  which  underlies  and  prompts  all  that  we  do,  and  that 
they  have  in  some  measure  a  true  appreciation  of  our  aim.  Many  of  them  are 
free  to  confess  that  for  them  life  and  character  have  been  greatly  modified  and 
moulded  by  the  influences  brought  to  bear  on  them,  and,  indeed,  there  is  visi- 
ble and  noticeable  improvement  in  many  cases,  especially  as  regards  truthful- 
ness, courtesy,  manliness,  and  general  conscientiousness.  Some  of  them  even 
exhibit  such  conduct  and  demeanor  as  to  lead  us  to  think  that  they  may  be 
trying  :o  follow  in  the  footsteps  of  the  Master." 

As  will  be  seen  from  other  parts  of  the  report,  the  professors  in 
this  institution  are  all  engaged  in  some  phase  of  evangelistic  work  in 
addition  to  their  duties  in  the  college. 

Boys'  Schools. — These  consist  of  the  main  school  and  eight  branch 
schools,  all  under  the  general  superintendence  of  Rev.  C.  W.  Forman, 
whose  reputation  as  an  educator,  and  whose  personal  influence  on  his 
students,  are  well  known  throughout  North  India.  Of  these  schools 
the  report  says  : 


104  INDIA — LAHORE. 

"From  the  branch  schools  are  drafted  pupils  into  the  main  school,  which 
contains  five  departments — ihe  infant  school,  the  lower  primary,  the  upper 
primary,  the  middle  school,  and  the  two  entrance  classes,  besides  two  special 
classes  in  which  English  only  is  taught  to  pupils  who  have  passed  high  exam- 
inations in  the  vernacular  and  Persian.  There  are  now  in  the  main  school 
498  pupils,  408  in  the  branch  schools,  and  51  in  the  adult  school,  making  a 
total  of  957.  The  fees  realized  during  the  year  amount  to  Rs.  449-9-3.  The 
results  of  the  Government  and  departmental  examinations  are  as  follows : 
Entrance  examination,  eight  passes  ;  middle  school  examination,  25  ;  upper 
primary,  61;  lower  primary,  83;  infant  standard,  114.  All  the  pupils  have 
been  taught  regularly  in  the  Scriptures,  and  a  great  amount  of  Christian  truth 
has  thus  been  communicated  to  these  young  minds.  Several  Sunday-schools 
are  carried  on  in  connection  with  the  day-schools,  the  attendance  being  about 
250." 

Girls'  Schools. — The  girls'  schools  have  continued  under  the  care 
of  Mrs.  C.  W.  Forman  and  Mrs.  J.  G.  Gilbertson.  It  is  to  be  re- 
gretted that  lack  of  funds  required  the  closing  of  four  of  these  during 
the  year.  The  total  number  of  pupils  in  attendance  was  415,  and  the 
girls  are  reported  as  having  acquitted  themselves  well  in  the  examina- 
tion held  by  the  Government  inspectress.  "  The  schools  are  always 
opened  with  prayer,  and  the  first  lesson  given  is  a  Bible  lesson.  Sat- 
urday is  devoted  entirely  to  the  study  of  the  Bible.  Mrs.  Humphrey 
and  Mrs.  Jsa  Charan,  assisted  by  a  Chiistian  Bible- woman,  have  done 
most  of  the  Christian  teaching  in  these  schools,  and  they  have  all 
worked  very  faithfully  and  earnestly."  The  Christian  girls'  school, 
under  the  auspices  of  the  Indian  Female  Normal  Society,  though  not 
organically  connected  with  our  mission,  is  an  essential  part  of  its 
working  force  and  receives  an  annual  grant  from  the  Board.  The 
ladies  in  charge  of  this  work  are  noted  for  their  missionary  character 
and  zeal.  Miss  Keay,  the  superintendent,  writes  ;  "  We  are  glad  to 
know  that  many  of  our  girls  are  true  followers  of  the  Lord  Jesus.  A 
number  belong  to  the  Y.  W.  C.  A.,  and  we  have  special  readings  for 
these.  We  have  also  a  society  peculiar  to  ourselves  called  the  G.  U. 
F.  (Gather  Up  the  Fragments  Society),  the  design  of  which  is  to 
foster  a  spirit  of  carefulness  in  making  use  of  little  things,  especially 
the  margins  of  time." 

The  native  church  in  Lahore  has  been  under  the  pastoral  care  of 
Mr.  Forman.  The  roll  now  numbers  one  hundred  and  seventy-seven, 
being  a  net  increase  of  fifty-five  over  last  year,  all  but  five  of  whom 
were  received  at  the  outstations.  Among  those  received,  special  men- 
tion is  made  of  two  young  men,  one  a  graduate  of  the  local  medical 
school,  and  the  other  an  employee  in  the  Canal  Department.  They 
both  received  their  first  impression  of  Christianity  in  the  Lodiana 
Mission  School.  The  young  physician  was  subjected  to  severe  trial 
by  his  relatives  and  the  Arya  Somaj,  but  is  reported  as  having  re- 
mained firm. 

There  is  also  what  is  known  as  the  English  Presbyterian  Church  in 
connection  with  our  mission.  Dr.  Ewing  has  acted  as  pastor  during 
the  past  year,  the  other  professors  rendeiing  assistance,  and  Prof,  and 
Mrs.  Gilbertson  having  charge  of  the  Sunday-school,  which  numbered 
106,  including  officers  and  teachers.  This  church  is  largely  attended 
by  English-speaking  natives  and  Eurasians,  and,  because  of  this,  is 
justly  regarded  as  an  important  evangelizing  agency. 


INDIA — LAHORE.  105 

Evangelistic — In  the  city,  preaching  has  been  carried  on  both  in 
the  vernacular  and  in  English  for  non-Christians.  This  has  been  done 
in  two  chapels,  one  situated  at  the  Lohari  (Blacksmith)  Gate,  and  the 
other  at  the  Delhi  Gate,  and  also  at  Rang  Mahal,  where  the  boys' 
main  school  is  located.  Effective  volunteer  service  has  been  ren- 
dered in  this  connection  by  six  or  eight  young  men,  members  of  the 
Indian  Christian  Association,  of  which  Dr.  Orbison,  of  our  mission,  is 
president.     Of  the  work  at  the  Lohari  Gate  the  report  says : 

"  Every  Sunday  evening  Messrs.  Forman,  Orbison,  and  Gilbertson,  assisted 
also  by  Mr.  Das,  have  conducted  a  service  in  English  for  educated  natives  in 
the  Lohari  Gate  Chapel.  This  chapel  is  very  favorably  situated  for  such  a 
service,  being  near  one  of  the  great  gates  of  the  city,  and  at  the  centre  of  the 
chief  thoroughfare,  along  which  passes  every  evening  a  steady  stream  of  hu- 
man beings.  Numbers  find  their  way  into  the  chapel,  some  through  a  desire 
to  hear  English  spoken,  some  by  the  singing,  and  not  a  few,  we  have  reason 
to  think,  by  more  serious  considerations.  Short  addresses  are  made,  inter- 
spersed with  the  singing  of  Gospel  hymns,  which  are  printed  upon  slips  and 
distributed  to  each  one  in  the  audience,  some  of  whom  join  with  us  in  the 
singing.  These  leaflets,  as  well  as  the  tracts  distributed,  are  carried  away  into 
hundreds  of  homes,  and  are  as  '  bread  cast  upon  the  waters '  which  cannot 
fail  of  a  return." 

These  services  have  quite  stirred  up  both  Mohammedans  and  Hin- 
doos ;  but  this  very  opposition  is  working  for  the  wider  dissemination 
of  the  truth. 

The  work  at  the  outstations  has  been  continued  and  extended.  At 
Wagah,  under  the  care  of  Mr.  Velte,  and  during  the  absence  of  Miss 
Thiede,  work  was  carried  on  by  a  native  preacher.  Miss  Thiede  has 
again  returned  to  her  field,  and  with  her  accustomed  zeal  has  entered 
upon  the  various  departments  of  Christian  effort. 

At  Sharakpur  two  native  preachers  ministered  during  part  of  the 
year, — one,  however,  having  died  of  pneumonia  on  January  27th. 
Though  a  man  of  humble  attainments,  he  had  been  a  very  earnest  and 
successful  preacher  and  had  gained  the  respect  of  all  classes  in 
Sharakpur. 

One  of  the  most  encouraging  features  of  this  work  during  the  year 
was  the  opening  of  two  new  places  for  evangelistic  services — Mani- 
hala  and  Soga.  In  the  former  village  there  is  a  large  community  of 
Sweepers  which  had  been  visited  frequently  by  our  missionaries  from 
Lahore.  In  November  last  Mr.  Eorman  baptized  twenty  of  them 
on  profession  of  faith,  and  there  is  now  a  Christian  community  of 
about  thirty-five  persons.  A  school  has  also  been  opened  and  a 
Christian  teacher  is  now  teaching  them  the  rudiments  of  education  in 
the  Persian  character.  In  Soga,  some  twenty-five  miles  southeast  of 
Lahore,  work  was  begun  at  the  request  of  a  Sirdar,  formerly  an  officer 
in  a  native  regiment,  who  had  been  baptized  by  a  missionary  of  the 
C.  M.  S.  at  Amritsar.  Rev.  Dharm  Das  and  his  brother,  just  graduated 
from  Saharanpur  Seminary,  have  been  assigned  to  work  in  that  field 
among  the  Sweepers.  In  October  twenty  men  and  sixteen  women 
were  received  into  the  church  on  confession  of  their  faith  and  thirty- 
two  children  were  baptized.

Medical  Work. 

"  Medical  work  is  carried  on  in  two  dispensaries,  one  just  outside 
the  Delhi  Gate,  being  for  men  ;  the  other  in  the  city  not  far  from  the 
Kotwali,  being  for  women.  Both  have  flourished  under  the  efficient 
management  of  Dr.  Isa  Das  and  his  wife,  Dr.  Phoebe  Isa  Das.  The 
statistics  up  to  the  end  of  November  (*'.  e.,  for  eleven  months)  are  as 
follows:  Male  Dispensary:  Total  number  of  cases  19,206;  minor 
operations,  804.  Female  Dispensary:  Total  number  of  cases  12,- 
471  ;  minor  operations,  276.  At  both  places  the  Gospel  has  been 
daily  presented  to  the  patients.  Mrs.  N.  Prem  Das  is  doing  volun- 
tary work  in  the  Female  dispensary,  visiting  the  place  daily  and  read- 
ing and  speaking  to  the  patients." 

In  addition  to  this  Dr.  Orbison,  of  the  college,  has  given  profes- 
sional attention  to  our  missionary  families,  and  has  rendered  such 
other  service  as  was  possible. 

Literary. — "  The  True  Light"  a  paper  issued  semi  monthly  for  non- 
Christians,  under  the  joint  editorship  of  Dr.  Ewing,  of  our  mission,  and 
the  Rev.  Mr.  Allnutt,  of  the  Cambridge  Mission,  Delhi,  with  Dr.  Orbison 
as  manager,  had  a  successful  year.  Though  all  our  missionaries  have 
been  engaged  in  various  phases  of  literary  work,  some  of  them  in 
connection  with  the  Punjab  religious  book  society,  no  mention  is 
made  of  any  special  volumes  issued  during  the  year. 

Hoshyarpur  Station. 

Hoshyarpur  means  the  "  city  of  the  wise,"  and  contains  a  population 
of  about  21,000.  It  is  also  the  centre  of  a  large  district  bearing 
the  same  name,  the  population  being  about  half  Mohammedans  and 
half  Hindus.  Our  Church  is  the  only  evangelizing  agency  at  work  in 
this  district.  The  Rev.  K.  C.  Chatterjee,  who  has  had  charge  of  this 
station  from  the  beginning,  on  February  1,  1891,  removed  with  his 
family  into  the  new  mission  premises,  just  outside  the  city  line,  though 
within  a  few  minutes'  walk  of  the  crowded  bazaar.  The  mission  was 
fortunate  in  securing  at  a  very  moderate  price  a  beautiful  orchard  of 
orange,  mango,  and  other  trees,  upon  which  have  been  erected  plain, 
substantial  brick  buildings  for  the  Orphanage,  and  a  neat  and  comfort- 
able home  for  the  superintendent. 

The  native  church  connected  with  this  station  consists  of  thirty-five 
members,  worshipping  in  three  different  cungregations,  one  in  the  city 
and  two  in  the  villages.  Ten  men  were  baptized  dining  the  year  on 
confession  of  their  faith,  all  of  them  being  from  the  two  villages  of 
Dosnah  and  Ghorawaha.  These  men  all  belonged  to  the  low  caste, 
Sweepers  and  Chamars.  The  report  mentions  with  gratitude  that  in 
the  latter  village  all  the  Christian  women  now  attend  the  public  ser- 
vices. As  these  belong  to  the  Rajput  caste,  one  of  the  highest,  and 
had  been  brought  up  in  strict  pardah  (behind  the  veil),  it  involved  a 
great  struggle  for  them  to  break  through  their  early  training  and  appear 
in  public  in  the  house  of  God.  Mr.  Chatterjee  has  also  continued  to 
conduct  an  English  service  in  the  church  at  the  station. 

Evangelistic  work  has  been  carried  on  in  the  city  and  villages  with 


INDIA— HOSHYARPUR.  107 

earnestness  and  encouragement.  A  preaching  service  has  been  held 
on  the  veranda  of  the  reading-room  daily,  and  in  the  chapel  in  the 
city  three  times  a  week.  There  were  daily  conferences  also  with 
visitors  in  the  reading-rocm,  and  Bible  instruction  was  given  in  the 
mission  house  during  the  summer  months.  In  connection  with  this 
work  Mr.  Chattetjee  writes  : 

"The  feeling  amongst  the  thinking  people  of  the  city  seems  to  be,  'your 
religion  is  very  good,  but  ours  is  just  as  good,  if  not  better,'  and  with  this  feel- 
ing they  are  endeavoring  to  reform  their  own  religions  of  their  abuses  and 
improve  them,  and  make  them  appear  as  good  as  possible.  Dharm  Sabha, 
Singh  Sabha,  and  the  Arya  Somaj  have  been  in  full  swing.  The  first  two  rep- 
resent the  orthodox  Hindu  and  Sikh  faiths.  The  last  is  a  reformation  in 
Hinduism  on  the  basis  of  the  Vedas.  The  first  two  are  friendly  to  Christian- 
ity, or  rather  tolerant  of  it.  The  last  is  unfriendly,  and  makes  most  virulent 
and  unjust  attacks  on  it.  Still  I  am  disposed  to  think  the  last  is  nearer  to  us 
than  the  other  two,  and  paving  the  way,  though  unconsciously,  for  the  accept- 
ance of  the  Gospel.  For  one  thing  the  Arya  Somaj  has  given  up  idolatry  and 
publicly  preaches  against  it.  We  don't  have  now  to  fight  battles  against  image 
worship.  The  Aryas  do  this  work  for  us.  For  another  thing,  it  has  given  up 
Pantheism  and  believes  in  the  existence  of  a  personal  God  by  whom  all  our 
actions  are  weighed.  This,  too,  is  a  great  gain  on  our  side.  The  Arya  Somaj 
also  ignores  caste,  though  only  theoretically,  and  teaches  people  not  to  be 
bound  by  the  fetters  of  custom,  but  to  seek  truth  and  follow  it.  All  these  are 
our  gain.  It  is  founded  on  two  falsehoods — a  false  interpretation  of  the 
Vedas  and  a  false  feeling  of  patriotism.  Spread  of  true  knowledge  and  enlight- 
enment will  dispel  both,  and  lead  its  followers  to  look  for  peace  and  happiness 
to  Christ." 

The  work  among  the  villages  has  been  carried  on  from  four  different 
centres,  and  also  by  means  of  itinerations  in  the  winter  season.  In 
each  of  these  centres  there  is  a  native  preacher,  evangelist,  or  catechist 
who  preaches  at  the  central  points,  and  visits  the  villages  within  a 
radius  of  several  miles.  At  each  centre  there  is  also  a  bookstall  for 
the  sale  and  distribution  of  religious  literature.  Concerning  the  vil- 
lagers the  report  says : 

"  "  The  attitude  of  the  village  people  is  exceedingly  favorable  to  our  work. 
The  moral  precepts  of  Christianity  were  always  admired  by  them.  They  are 
now  getting  accustomed  to  the  distinctive  doctrines  of  Christianity.  Even  in 
many  Mohammedan  villages,  the  divinity  and  the  Sonship  of  Christ  and  His 
sacrificial  death  are  listened  to  without  much  gainsaying.  It  is  the  growing 
conviction  of  my  assistants  and  of  myself  that  caste  is  the  only  barrier  that 
keeps  many  from  accepting  Christianity." 

Educational. — The  Orphanage  and  Boarding- School  for  Girls,  as  in- 
timated above,  removed  to  its  new  quarters  during  the  year.  Thirty  girls 
were  enrolled.  All  the  larger  girls  take  part  in  the  domestic  work  of  the 
school,  the  aim  being  to  prepare  them  for  usefulness  in  their  respective 
spheres.  Under  the  admirable  supervision  of  Mrs.  Chatterjee  the 
girls  are  trained  to  habits  of  industry  and  cleanliness.  Bible  instruc- 
tion occupies  a  large  place  in  the  daily  round  of  study,  as  also  such 
useful  employments  as  sewing,  knitting,  and  embroidery  work.  Rev. 
C.  W.  Forman,  who  visited  the  Orphanage  as  a  committee  of  the  mis- 
sion, was  much  pleased  with  the  clean  and  neat  appearance  of  the 
girls,  as  well  as  with  all  the  domestic  arrangements.     He  was  especially 


I08  INDIA— JALANDHAR. 

gratified  by  the  evident  care  which  had  been  taken  with  the  religious 
instruction,  a  large  amount  of  Scripture  having  been  memorized.  The 
cost  of  supporting  a  girl  in  this  school  is  three  rupees  per  month,  a 
fraction  over  a  dollar  in  our  currency  at  the  present  rate  of  exchange. 
There  are  two  day-schools  for  heathen  girls  under  the  supervision  of 
Miss  Lena  Chatterjee,  daughter  of  the  superintendent.  These  together 
had  an  attendance  of  sixty-three  pupils,  all  high-caste  Hindus.  Great 
care  is  taken  to  instruct  these  children  in  the  Bible  and  Bible  history. 

Jalandhar  Station. 

The  death  of  Rev.  Goloknath,  referred  to  at  the  beginning  of  this 
report,  left  the  general  station  work  entirely  in  the  hands  of  Rev.  C. 
W.  Forman,  M.D.  Dr.  Forman,  in  addition  to  his  professional  work 
as  a  physician,  preached  regularly  to  the  native  church  on  Sundays, 
and  also  taught  the  Bible  to  the  two  upper  classes  of  the  High-School. 
The  church  numbers  twenty-nine  members. 

Educational. — There  are  four  schools  connected  with  this  station,  one 
of  them  being  for  low  caste  boys,  located  at  Kartapore,  having  a  roll  of 
thirty  pupils.  The  High-School,  with  its  two  branches,  had  an  enroll- 
ment of  four  hundred  and  seventy-nine  scholars.  Eleven  of  the  last 
class  passed  what  is  called  the  "  Entrance  Examination,"  receiving  their 
degree  from  the  Government  University,  and  twenty-five  passed  the 
Middle  School  Examination.  The  results  are  regarded  as  highly  en- 
couraging. The  missionary  in  charge  reports  with  gratitude  the  bap- 
tism of  one  of  the  students  who  last  year  took  the  degree  at  the  en- 
trance examination. 

Five  schools  for  girls  have  been  conducted  under  the  direction  of 
Miss  Given  and  Miss  Downs,  having  a  total  attendance  of  one  hun- 
dred and  thirty-one  pupils.  Three  of  these  schools  are  for  Moham- 
medan girls,  one  of  them  being  located  in  a  village  three  miles  from 
Jalandhar.  Of  the  other  two,  one  is  for  Hindu  girls,  and  one  for 
Hindu  widows.  The  latter  is  an  experiment  entered  upon  about  a 
year  since  in  order  to  bring  under  Christian  influence  those  who  are 
the  household  drudges  in  the  homes  of  their  mothers  in-law.  It  has 
been  necessary  to  furnish  small  scholarships  so  that  they  might  have 
permission  to  attend  the  school.  These  scholai  ships  are  provided  by 
the  women's  foreign  missionary  society  of  Jalandhar.  Of  this  experi- 
ment the  report  says  :  "  The  women  in  this  school  have  surprised  us 
by  their  diligence,  and  by  the  progress  they  have  made.  When  they 
finished  their  examination  last  month  one  of  them  asked,  '  Did  we  do 
well,  are  you  pleased  with  us  ? '  '  You  have  done  well  and  we  are 
much  pleased.'  '  It  is  all  her  doing,'  the  widow  responded,  pointing 
to  the  teacher,  '  she  did  it  all,  we  are  only  stones,'  and  the  rest  nodded 
their  heads  and  said  in  chorus,  '  Yes,  we  are  only  stones.'  " 

Preaching  has  been  conducted  in  the  city  in  front  of  the  dispensary, 
and  also  in  those  sections  occupied  by  Sweepers.  During  the  winter 
two  of  the  native  preachers  were  out  in  the  district  for  three  months, 
and  visited  one  hundred  and  twenty-eight  villages.  About  forty  vil- 
lages within  easy  reach  of  Kartapore  were  also  visited  by  one  of  the 


INDIA — FEROZEPORE.  IO9 

native  preachers.    Among  the  latter  he  reports  several  inquirers.    One 
family,  consisting  of  father,  mother,  and  three  children,  had  decided  to 
become  Christians,  and  were  to  be  baptized  in  the  near  future. 
Medical  Work. — Of  this  Dr.  Korman  reports  : 

"  The  Dispensary  has  been  open  during  eight  months  of  the  year.  The 
number  of  visits  has  been  nearly  14,000.  It  is  made  as  far  as  possible  a  con- 
dition of  getting  medical  treatment  that  all  should  be  present  at  the  religious 
exercises  which  precede  the  medical  work.  As  there  are  always  a  number  who 
were  present  the  day  before,  1  usually  begin  by  asking  questions  about  what 
was  read  and  said  then.  They  are  always  quite  able  and  willing  to  answer, 
which  shows  that  they  pay  attention.  Very  many  patients,  especially  those 
with  eye  diseases,  come  every  day  for  weeks  and  some  for  months,  and  so  must 
get  a  pretty  fair  knowledge  of  Christianity.  The  Dispensary  gains  many 
friends  for  us  in  the  district.  Wherever  we  go  we  meet  some  of  our  old  pa- 
tients, and  they  are  generally  ready  to  show  us  every  attention." 

Zenana  Work. — The  ladies  in  charge  report  as  follows  : 

"  We  have  taught  this  year  in  eighteen  zenanas  and  in  these  houses  have 
had  thirty-three  pupils.  Besides  these  there  are  several  places  where,  though 
the  women  have  not  wished  to  learn  to  read,  they  have  given  us  such  a  cordial 
invitation  to  visit  them,  that  we  have  done  so  occasionally.  In  these  places 
we  usually  find  quite  a  number  of  women  sitting  in  the  court-yard  at  their 
spinning-wheels.  They  always  give  us  a  warm  welcome,  and  always  ask  us  to 
say  something  to  them,  which,  of  course,  we  are  glad  to  do.  We  enjoy  very 
much  these  occasional  visits  to  the  spinning-bees." 

In  addition  to  their  work  in  the  zenanas  and  schools,  Miss  Given 
and  Miss  Downs,  during  the  winter  months,  spent  two  days  each  week 
in  visiting  villages  within  a  few  miles  of  the  city,  where  they  found 
easy  access  to  the  women. 

Ferozepore  Station. 

Ferozepore  is  .a  walled  town  some  six  miles  south  of  the  Sutlej, 
having  a  population  of  upwards  of  20,000,  or,  including  the  military 
cantonment  and  adjacent  villages,  about  40,000.  The  Hindu  ele- 
ment predominates,  although  the  Mohammedan  is  large.  The  dis- 
trict has  a  population  of  but  little  less  than  700,000.  The  absence 
of  Dr.  and  Mrs.  Newton  on  furlough  left  the  responsibility  of  the 
station  with  Mr.  Jones  and  Mr.  Fisher.  The  church  reports  a  mem- 
bership of  thirty-four,  of  whom  five  were  added  during  the  year  on 
confession  of  faith.  Bazaar  preaching  was  conducted  on  at  least 
four  evenings  of  the  week,  the  audience  varying  in  size,  as  is  usual 
with  such  services.  The  brethren  at  this  station  are  increasingly 
anxious  to  secure  some  hall  or  room  in  which  evangelistic  services 
can  be  held,  away  from  the  distracting  noise  of  the  busy  street. 
Mr.  Jones  and  Mr.  Fisher,  with  the  Rev.  P.  C.  Uppal,  spent  some- 
time in  the  district  preaching  in  the  villages,  where  they  were  well 
received.  As  in  other  districts  of  this  mission,  the  door  seems  to 
be  wide  open  in  the  district,  so  that  the  question  is  not  so  much  one 
of  access  to  the  people  as  of  laborers  to  enter  in  and  occupy. 

Medical  Work. — During  the  absence  of  Dr.  Newton,  the  dispen- 
sary work  was  carried  on  with  some  success  by  a  native  physician 
who  had  been  an  assistant  of  Dr.  Newton.     No  detailed  report  has 


I  10  INDIA — LODIANA. 

been  received  of  the  number  of  visits.  The  recent  return  of  Dr. 
Newton  to  his  field,  after  a  special  course  of  medical  study  in  the 
United  States,  will  give  a  great  impetus  to  this  branch  of  the  work, 
and  it  is  confidently  expected  that  with  his  evangelistic  spirit,  which 
subordinates  the  medical  to  the  spiritual,  the  work  will  be  a  source 
of  increasing  blessing  to  the  people. 

Lodiana  Station. 

The  pastor  of  the  church  at  this  station,  having  withdrawn 
during  the  year,  the  Rev.  E.  P.  Newton  and  the  elders  of  the  church 
took  charge  of  the  services  on  Sundays  and  during  the  week.  The 
church  reports  one  hundred  and  fifty-six  members  enrolled,  of  whom 
fifty-two  were  added  during  the  year.  The  greater  part  of  these, 
however,  were  received  at  the  outstation  Khanna,  where  a  profound 
interest  has  been  manifested  in  Christianity  by  the  low-caste  people. 
Mr.  Newton  has  given  much  attention  to  this  work  in  connection 
with  native  helpers,  and  regards  it  as  most  hopeful.  The  mission 
has  authorized  the  establishing  of  a  training-school  at  Khanna  for 
the  purpose  of  fitting  the  most  promising  young  men  for  giving  in- 
struction to  their  people.  The  Sunday-schools  connected  with  this 
station  have  a  membership  of  six  hundred  and  twenty-six. 

Educational. — There  are  ten  schools  under  the  care  of  this  station, 
with  a  total  enrollment  of  six  hundred  and  sixty-two,  fifty-eight  of 
whom  are  girls.  It  is  to  be  regretted  that  detailed  reports  of  these 
schools  have  not  reached  the  Board  in  time  to  be  incorporated  in 
this  report.  Concerning  the  Boys'  Boarding-School,  for  sons  of 
Christian  parents^  under  the  charge  of  the  Rev.  A.  H.  Ewing,  the  fol- 
lowing from  the  report  of  Mr.  Chatterjee,  appointed  by  the  mission 
to  examine  the  school,  is  of  interest :  "  I  visited  the  Boys'  Boarding- 
School  on  the  14th  of  November,  and  in  company  with  the  princi- 
pal inspected  the  working  of  all  its  departments  and  examined  all 
the  classes  in  their  knowledge  of  the  Scriptures.  There  are  ninety- 
six  boys  on  the  roll,  seventy-five  boarders  and  twenty-one  day 
scholars.  The  school  is  divided  into  two  departments,  literary  and 
industrial.  There  are  eighty  pupils  in  the  former  and  sixteen  in  the 
latter.  Twenty-four  pupils  attending  the  literary  department  also 
spend  a  portion  of  their  time  in  learning  some  mechanical  art. 

"  The  literary  department  consists  of  high,  middle,  and  primary 
departments.  There  are  ten  pupils  in  the  high  department,  thirty- 
one  in  the  middle,  and  fifty-five  in  the  primary.  The  scheme  of 
secular  studies  is  the  same  as  prescribed  by  the  Government  educa- 
tional code.  Religious  instruction  has  been  carefully  imparted,  and 
the  knowledge  of  the  Scriptures  manifested  by  the  boys  was  fair.  I 
was  glad  to  learn  from  the  principal  that  some  of  the  boys  of  the 
high  department  took  interest  in  teaching  a  Sunday-school  and  five 
had  joined  the  church.  The  industrial  department  consists  of  car- 
pentering, carpet-weaving,  shoemaking,  tailoring,  and  printing. 
There  are  nine  boys  in  the  carpenter's  shop,  nine  in  carpet-weaving, 
six  in  shoemaking,  fourteen  in  tailoring,  and  two  in  the  printing

press.  I  was  told  by  the  principal  that  the  prejudices  of  the  native 
Christian  community  against  this  department  are  wearing  out,  and 
he  has  had  several  applications  from  parents  to  have  their  boys 
taught  in  some  mechanical  art.  On  the  whole,  the  inspection  made 
a  very  favorable  impression  on  me,  and  I  congratulate  the  principal 
on  the  success  attending  his  efforts." 

In  addition  to  other  kinds  of  work,  Mr.  Newton  has  devoted 
some  time  to  reading  proofs  of  the  Roman  Urdu  Hymn-book,  and 
as  a  member  of  the  Punjabi  Bible  Society  has  attended  its  meetings. 

Sabathu  Station. 

For  part  of  the  year  this  station,  with  its  Leper  Asylum,  has  been 
under  the  superintendence  of  Dr.  M.  C.  Carleton.  The  native  evan- 
gelist, Rev.  T.  W.  J.  Wylie,  has  conducted  religious  services  in  the 
asylum  every  day,  and  has  also  visited  the  lepers  in  their  rooms.  Dr. 
Carleton  has,  in  addition  to  his  professional  labors  in  behalf  of  the 
lepers,  given  some  attention  to  their  spiritual  instruction.  In  the 
supplementary  report  on  India,  herewith  submitted,  will  be  found  a 
fuller  statement  concerning  this  station,  and  the  proposition  to  with- 
draw from  it  on  the  part  of  the  Board. 

Saharanpur  Station. 

The  absence  of  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Henry  Forman,  on  account  of  the 
serious  illness  of  the  latter,  threw  the  entire  burden  of  the  station  on 
Mr.  and  Mrs.  Kelso.  Each  department  of  work  received  such  atten- 
tion as  was  possible,  so  that  all  were  fairly  well  sustained.  The  return 
of  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Forman,  however,  and  also  of  Mr.  and  Mrs.  McComb, 
who  have  been  assigned  to  Saharanpur,  and  the  transfer  of  Mr.  and 
Mrs.  Robert  Morrison  and  Misses  Donaldson  and  Orbison  from  Rawal 
Pindi  furnish  much-needed  reinforcements,  and  make  it  possible  for 
Mr.  and  Mrs.  Kelso  to  return  home  for  rest.  The  assignment  of  Mr. 
Morrison  to  this  station  depends  on  the  decision  as  to  the  transfer  of 
Rawal  Pindi  elsewhere  referred  to. 

The  church  at  this  station  consists  of  sixty-five  members,  eleven 
having  been  received  during  the  year,  five  of  them  on  confession  of 
faith.  A  steady  growth  in  grace  has  been  noticed  in  many  of  the 
members.  The  English  service  for  the  railway  employees  was  kept 
up  most  of  the  year,  with  a  Sabbath-school  having  an  attendance  of 
from  thirty  to  forty.  Evangelistic  effort  has  been  continued  four  even- 
ings of  the  week  in  front  of  the  city  school-house,  mainly  by  the  teach- 
ers and  students  of  the  Theological  Seminary,  and  during  two  evenings 
of  the  week,  after  the  open-air  preaching,  services  have  been  held  in  the 
school  building,  and  a  Sabbath  evening  evangelistic  service  has  also 
been  maintained.  Great  disappointment  is  expressed  at  the  outcome 
in  the  case  of  a  Mohammedan  Munshi,  who  professed  to  have  accepted 
Christ,  and  asked  for  admission  to  the  church.  He  seemed  to  be  a 
thoroughly  converted  man,  and  it  was  expected  that  he  would  be  bap- 
tized, but  it  was  found  on  inquiry  that  he  had  left  Saharanpur,  pre- 
sumably for  fear  of  persecution.

Theological  Seminary. — This  institution  is  under  the  care  of  the 
Synod  of  India,  which  includes  all  our  missions  in  the  Empire. 
Twenty-eight  pupils  were  in  attendance  duiing  the  past  year.  In 
addition  to  the  three  main  classes  there  is  a  preparatory  class,  which 
is  greatly  needed  because  of  the  inadequate  education  of  those  who 
enter  the  Seminary.  The  aim  of  the  Synod  is  to  steadily  advance  the 
standard  until  only  well  equipped  men  are  sent  forth  to  preach  the 
Gospel.  Within  the  past  four  years  thirty-four  have  received  a  partial 
or  complete  couise  in  this  institution,  most  of  whom  are  now  actively 
engaged  in  the  work. 

The  City  High-School  reports  a  roll  of  one  hundred  and  seventy- 
two  boys,  of  whom  seven  were  Christians,  one  hundred  and  sixteen 
Hindus,  and  forty-nine  Mohammedans.  As  in  all  such  mission 
schools,  the  prescribed  course  of  study  includes  a  large  amount  of 
Bible  instruction. 

The  Orphanage  at  this  station  is  intended  to  do  for  boys  what  that 
at  Hoshyarpur  does  for  girls.  Thirty-eight  were  enrolhd  during  the 
year.  The  standard  aimed  at  is  that  of  the  Vernacular  Upper  Primary 
School.  Two  young  men  from  this  school  have  been  admitted  to  the 
preparatory  class  of  the  Theological  Seminary,  and  have  been  taken 
under  the  care  of  the  Lodiana  Presbytery.  In  the  Industrial  Depart- 
ment five  boys  are  learning  carpenter  work,  twenty-eight  sewing,  and 
one  cooking.  During  the  year  five  pupils  made  a  public  profession  of 
their  faith. 

A  boys'  school  was  opened  in  April,  1891,  among  the  Mintars,  one 
of  the  low  castes.  This  was  done  in  answer  to  an  expressed  desire  on 
the  part  of  the  people.  Twenty-five  boys  were  in  attendance.  In 
connection  with  this  a  Sunday-school  has  been  carried  on  by  the 
students  of  the  Seminary,  with  an  attendance  of  twenty.  An  evangel- 
istic service  was  also  held  after  the  opening  of  the  Sunday-school. 
One  man  from  among  these  people  has  been  baptized,  and  several 
inquirers  are  reported. 

Girls  Schools  and  Zenanas. — These  are  reported  together.  There 
are  five  schools  for  Hindu  girls,  with  an  aggregate  attendance  of  one 
hundred  and  twenty-seven,  and  four  for  Mohammedan  girls,  with  an 
attendance  of  sixty-five.  Sixty-eight  zenana  pupils  received  instruc- 
tion, some  of  them  being  women  and  others  girls.  Concerning  this 
work,  Mrs.  Kelso  writes  : 

"  The  work  in  the  girls'  schools  and  zenanas  has  gone  on  as  usual.  The 
schools  were  closed  for  three  weeks  in  June  owing  to  the  excessive  heat.  The 
chief  object  of  the  Christian  teachers  is  to  impart  the  principles  of  Christianity 
to  the  pupils.  Several  of  the  girls  were  removed  by  their  relatives,  who  feared 
they  would  become  Christians  if  they  remained.  One  Brahmin  girl,  from  one 
of  the  schools,  who  got  married  and  settled  at  Kankar,  a  town  near  Hardwar, 
sent  into  Saharanpur  for  a  Testament,  hymn-book,  Hindu  Catechism,  and  the 
Old,  Old  Story  in  Hindi,  saying  that  she  wished  to  have  these  books  and  still 
use  them,  though  she  had  left  the  school." 

A  Sunday-school  of  eighty-eight  pupils  and  eleven  teachers  has  also 
been  maintained  in  the  mission  church  for  the  native  Christians,  Or- 
phanage pupils,  and  the  students  of  the  Theological  Seminary.     Still

another  numbering  one  hundred  scholars  lias  been  held  in  the  city 
school-house  for  Hindu  and  Mohammedan  boys,  under  the  superin- 
tendency  of  Mr.  Sircar,  the  headmaster  of  the  High-School.  The 
roll  of  this  school  includes  a  number  not  in  attendance  on  the  day- 
schools. 

A  small  school  of  six  women  and  three  children  from  the  families 
of  the  students  attending  the  Theological  Seminary  was  conducted 
during  part  of  the  year,  under  the  supervision  of  Mrs.  Kelso. 

Dehra  Station. 

Dehra  is  situated  in  a  beautiful  valley  bearing  the  same  name  at 
the  foot  of  the  Himalayas,  and  has  a  population  of  twelve  thousand. 
Two  congregations  worship  in  the  church  known  as  the  Morrison 
Memorial  Church,  erected  some  years  ago  as  a  memorial  to  the  late 
Dr.  Win.  Morrison,  by  funds  collected  in  India.  The  membership  of 
the  Hindoo  Church  is  fifty,  and  that  of  the  English  twenty-nine.  The 
English  Church  is  in  connection  with  the  General  Assembly  of  the 
Presbyterian  Church,  and  has  been  ministered  to  by  Mr.  Thackwell, 
save  during  his  furlough  in  Australia  for  health,  when  Rev.  W.  J.  P. 
Morrison  took  his  place.  Prior  to  sailing  for  Australia,  and  in  hope 
of  re-establishing  his  health  without  a  change,  Mr.  Thackwell  itiner- 
ated among  the  hills  of  the  native  state  of  Terhi.  He  reports  that 
the  people  heard  the  Gospel  with  avidity,  adding  :  "  The  wistful  way 
in  which  the  women,  as  well  as  the  men,  listened  to  the  story  of  God's 
love  in  giving  His  Son  to  die  for  sinners,  moved  me  so  that  it  has 
been  a  burden  on  my  heart  ever  since  to  get  some  one  to  work  among 
this  people."  During  Mr.  Thackwell's  absence,  Mr.  Morrison  began 
night  preaching  to  the  coolies  on  the  tea  plantation  of  the  Dehra  Dun 
Company  and  others,  which  has  been  maintained  ever  since.  Some 
three  or  four  hundred  of  these  coolies  have  been  attending  services. 
A  faquir  among  them  said  :  "  Show  me  God  and  I  will  at  once  give 
up  my  wandering  life  and  become  a  Christian.  I  defy  you  to  show 
me  God  and  therefore  there  is  no  God."  The  report  states  that  athe- 
ism is  very  common  among  the  faquirs.  Inquiries  concerning  the 
way  of  salvation  are  more  common  among  the  educated  than  among 
the  ignorant  in  the  Dun. 

Educational. — The  High-School  reports  a  roll  of  two  hundred  and 
eighty  pupils,  thirty-eight  less  than  last  year.  This  diminished  attend- 
ance is  accounted  for  by  the  increasing  strictness  of  Government 
rules  which  must  be  complied  with  in  order  to  secure  a  grant  in  aid. 
Measures  have  recently  been  taken  by  the  mission,  under  direction  of 
the  Board,  to  increase  the  facilities  of  the  school,  and  improve  its  sani- 
tary arrangements  so  as  to  meet  the  requirements.  In  addition  to  the 
daily  study  of  the  Scriptures,  a  class  is  held  on  Sunday,  the  attend- 
ance on  which  is  voluntary,  but  the  students  set  such  an  estimate 
upon  it  that  they  are  rarely  absent.  The  headmaster  also  conducts 
a  class  in  Christian  Evidences  with  encouraging  success. 

Two  day-schools  at  Karanpur  and  Harbans  report  an  attendance  of 
41   and   18  respectively.     These  are  supported  mainly  by  funds  con- 
tributed by  the  English  congregation  in  Dehra.

114  INDIA — DEHRA. 

Girls'  Boarding-School. — Eighty-one  names  have  been  enrolled  in 
this  school  during  the  year.  More  could  have  been  admitted  had  they 
been  able  to  meet  the  requirement  of  the  mission  by  paying  a  pre- 
scribed fee,  a  requirement  insisted  on  in  the  interest  of  self-support. 
The  recent  issuing  of  a  new  code  for  Girls'  Schools  by  the  Govern- 
ment Educational  Department,  has  greatly  helped  in  the  conduct  of 
the  school,  being  better  adapted  to  girls  than  the  one  in  use  in  boys' 
schools.  One  hour  each  day  is  spent  by  the  girls  in  sewing  or  knit- 
ting, those  more  proficient  helping  those  less  able  to  take  care  of 
their  own  clothing.  The  girls  have  taken  a  deep  interest  in  their 
prayer-meetings  and  Bible  studies  during  the  year,  and  it  is  stated  that 
many  of  them  are  making  commendable  efforts  to  shape  their  lives  in 
accordance  with  the  instruction  given.  Rev.  C.  W.  Forman  D.  D., 
appointed  by  the  mission  to  examine  this  school,  writes  :  "  I  think  on 
the  whole  I  can  say  that  I  have  never  examined  a  school  with  more 
satisfaction  ;  everything  seemed  to  be  done  in  a  systematic,  orderly 
way." 

The  "  Jatie  Cross  Memorial  Home  and  Zenana  Training- School" 
is  as  yet  but  a  class  of  young  women  who  are  being  trained  in  the 
Dehra  Girls'  School  for  zenana  work.  The  class  is  supported  by  the 
proceeds  of  a  legacy.  There  are  at  present  six  young  ladies  in  the 
school,  all  born  in  India,  some  of  them  Eurasians,  and  some  the 
daughters  of  English  parents.  Two  of  these  ladies  have  completed 
the  prescribed  course,  and  have  been  assigned  to  stations  by  the  mis- 
sion. Part  of  the  training  consists  of  practical  experience  in  connec- 
tion with  the  zenana  work  of  the  station.  Concerning  them  the  re- 
port says  :  "  The  conduct  of  all  the  members  of  the  Training-School 
has  been  very  satisfactory  during  the  year.  They  have  shown  marked 
improvement  in  their  general  character.  They  are  deeply  interested 
in  their  work,  and  the  evident  attachment  of  their  pupils  to  them 
shows  that  they  have  been  successful  in  winning  the  hearts  of  the 
women  and  children  they  teach."  This  experiment  is  regarded  with 
much  interest  and  great  hope.  Young  women  born  in  the  country, 
and  having  at  least  some  knowledge  of  the  language,  have  a  great  ad- 
vantage in  the  native  home  above  those  who  have  to  learn  the  lan- 
guage and  character  of  the  people,  and  at  the  same  time  become  ac- 
customed to  the  climate.  Should  the  experiment  prove  a  success,  it 
is  expected  that  many  consecrated  young  women  can  be  trained  to  do 
excellent  work  in  this  direction,  and  thus  multiply  the  zenana  workers 
without  greatly  increasing  the  expense  of  this  department. 

Zenana  Work. — This  work  during  the  absence  of  Miss  Geisinger 
has  been  superintended  by  Miss  De  Lowza.  She  reports  a  total  of 
128  homes  which  are  regularly  visited,  a  number  of  them  having  been 
opened  during  the  year.  Six  Bible-readers  and  three  young  women 
of  the  Training  Class  have  been  busily  employed  in  addition  to  the 
superintendent.  No  opposition  has  been  encountered  in  this  house- 
to-house  visitation.  Instrumentally  this  condition  of  things  has  been 
brought  about  in  part  by  the  judicious  use  of  simple  medicines  admin- 
istered by  the  visiting  ladies.  On  this  subject  the  report  says  :  "  I 
think  it  necessary  in  a  way  for  the  zenana  missionary  to  have  a  small 


INDIA — AM  BALA.  115 

fund  for  medicines  allowed  in  connection  with  the  zenana  work  ;  for 
these  women  trust  us  implicitly,  and  the  very  fact  of  our  giving  them 
attention  when  sick  enlists  their  affection  and  regard  for  us.  The 
strict  customs  of  the  Parda  do  not  allow  of  a  doctor's  seeing  or  pre- 
scribing for  them,  and  the  men  of  the  house  have  over  and  over  again 
told  me  that  they  would  rather  let  their  wives  and  daughters  die  than 
have  a  doctor  see  them."  Grateful  mention  is  made  of  the  fact  that 
repeated  calls  have  been  made  on  the  zenana  workers  to  visit  the  vil- 
lages around  Dehra  and  to  establish  schools  in  them.  In  response  to 
these  calls  schools  have  been  established  in  two  villages,  reporting  an 
enrollment  of  55  boys  and  girls.  A  Sunday-school  is  also  held  in 
each  of  these  villages. 

Ambala  Station. 

Ambala  is  a  walled  city  with  a  population  of  26,000;  and  the 
Ambala  Cantonments,  some  four  miles  distant,  contain  about 
46,000.  It  is  also  the  centre  of  a  thickly  populated  district, 
comprising  more  than  one  million,  of  whom  one-third  are 
Mohammedans. 

There  are  two  churches  at  this  station,  one  in  the  city  and 
the  other  at  the  Cantonments.  Both  worship  in  substantial 
edifices,  that  at  the  Cantonments  answering  also  the  purpose  of 
the  school-house  for  the  High  School.  Stated  worship  has  been 
maintained  throughout  the  year,  Mr.  Wyckoff  being  responsi- 
ble for  the  services  in  the  city,  and  Mr.  Goloknath,  with  an  aged 
native  pastor,  for  those  in  the  Cantonments. 

There  are  two  advanced  schools  for  boys  connected  with  this  sta- 
tion, one  in  each  of  the  two  localities  just  mentioned.  Mr. 
Wyckoff  is  superintendent  of  the  one,  and  Mr.  Goloknath  princi- 
pal of  the  other.  There  are  also  several  branch  schools,  but 
in  the  absence  of  detailed  reports,  no  statistics  can  be  given. 

Mr.  Wyckoff  spent  some  time  in  bazaar  preaching  and  in 
itinerating  in  the  district.  Mr.  Morrison,  who  has  been  re- 
appointed to  the  Cantonments,  expects  to  devote  a  large  por- 
tion of  his  time  to  this  kind  of  work  in  the  future.  Of  his  own 
work  at  the  Cantonments,  Mr.  Goloknath  writes  : 

"  I  have  taken  up  classes  in  my  own  house  for  the  heathen,  and  have  meet- 
ings for  Christians  in  the  evening,  especially  for  young  men,  that  they  may 
study  the  Bible.  I  have  done  my  pastoral  work  by  visiting  Christian  families 
in  their  respective  homes,  and  carried  on  evangelistic  work  both  in  the  bazaar 
and  villages.  I  have  adopted  the  plan  of  visiting  the  heathen  friends  in  their 
homes,  and  bringing  the  claims  of  our  religion  to  bear  upon  them." 

Medical  Work. — This  department,  under  the  care  of  Miss 
Jessica  C.  Carleton,  M.D  ,  has  so  increased  that  Miss  Emily  G. 
Marston,  M.D.,  has  been  sent  to  Ambala  to  be  associated  with 
her.  Two  dispensaries  have  been  in  operation,  where  healing 
and  religious  instruction  have  been  given.  Of  this  work  a  recent 
visitor  writes: 

"A  good  many  women  come  to  have  their  eyes  operated  upon.  The  lids,  in 
some  way,  grow  so  that  the  lashes  turn  in  and  scratch  the  eyes  blind,  unless 


Il6  INDIA — WOODSTOCK. 

they  are  attended  to.  One  old  woman  had  not  the  courage  to  have  the  second 
eye  treated  and  ran  home,  but  after  some  time  her  friends  came  dragging  her 
back.  One  young  woman  whose  husband  was  about  to  send  her  off  on  account 
of  her  blindness,  came  and  showed  the  patience  of  a  statue,  or  hero,  through  it 
all.  The  doctor  has  patients  here  for  care  and  treatment  in  case  of  operation, 
so  between  her  trips  to  the  dispensaries  she  attends  to  them,  which  keeps  her 
flying  all  the  time.  The  other  day  she  had  eighty  cases  to  attend  in  the  after- 
noon at  the  dispensary." 

Through  the  efforts  of  Dr.  Carleton  a  site  has  been  secured 
for  a  hospital,  and  a  plain  substantial  building  erected  in  which 
a  few  in-patients  can  be  received,  and  which  will  answer  some 
secondary  purpose  connected  with  the  hospital  when  more 
adequate  quarters  are  provided.  Dr.  Carleton  has  also  given 
medical  attention  to  the  lepers  in  the  asylum  in  the  city.  Like 
similar  institutions,  this  asylum  is  supported  mainly  by  funds 
secured  on  the  field,  the  mission  being  responsible  only  for 
medical  attendance  and  the  religious  instruction.  Mr.  Wyckoff 
has  conducted  daily  worship  in  this  asylum  during  the  year. 

Besides  her  medical  work,  Dr.  Carleton  has  recently  organ- 
ized a  public  reading  room  in  the  city  through  gifts  of  money 
and  reading  matter  from  the  English  residents. 

Mrs.  Calderwood  has  continued  her  work  in  the  zenanas,  as 
also  Mrs.  Davies,  a  lady  employed  by  the  mission.  The  latter 
visits  nineteen  Mohammedan  homes  in  the  Cantonments,  where 
she  has  thirty-nine  pupils.  Mrs.  Calderwood  superintends  four 
day-schools,  with  an  attendance  of  eighty,  where  the  children 
are  taught  to  sing  and  are  instructed  in  Scripture  truth.  Of 
the  zenana  work  Mrs.  Calderwood  says: 

"Although  zenana  work  seems  slow  and  seldom  crowned  with  immediate 
success,  we  often  overlook  how  many  we  reach  in  one  visit ;  both  women  and 
men  are  often  listening,  not  only  those  on  the  neighboring  housetops  who 
crowd  to  the  edges  to  be  able  to  hear,  but  the  Brahman  servants,  as  well  as  the 
low  caste  water-carrier  or  sweeper  of  the  house,  besides  visitors  from  abroad 
whom  one  happens  to  meet.  In  this  way,  here  a  little  and  there  a  little,  seed- 
sowing  is  done." 

Rev.  and  Mrs.  M.  M.  Carleton  have  continued  their  labors  at 
Am,  an  outstation  in  the  lower  Himalayas,  some  seventy  miles  north- 
west of  Simla,  the  summer  capital  of  the  India  Government.  Mr. 
Carleton  preaches  to  a  congregation  of  about  forty-five,  twenty  of 
whom  are  communicants.  During  his  residence  here  he  has  visited 
about  a  thousand  villages,  and  by  the  judicious  administration  of 
medicine  has  done  much  to  break  down  prejudice  against  the  Gospel. 
Mrs.  Carleton  has  co-operated  with  her  husband  in  reaching  the 
women  and  children  in  and  around  Ani. 

Woodstock  Seminary. 

This  institution  is  located  on  the  first  range  of  the  Himalayas,  seven 
thousand  feet  above  the  sea  level,  and  overlooking  the  magnificent 
valley  called  Dehra  Dun.  The  situation  is  both  beautiful  and 
healthful.     The  Seminary  was  organized  for  the  double  purpose  of 


I N  D I A — WOODSTOCK.  I  1 7 

educating  missionaries'  daughters,  and  of  giving  a  Christian  educa- 
tion to  European  and  Eurasian  girls.  The  uniform  testimony  is 
that  in  both  directions  it  has  done  excellent  work.  It  has  helped  to 
solve  the  very  difficult  problem  of  the  education  of  our  missionaries' 
daughters,  while  by  receiving  as  day  pupils  boys  up  to  a  certain  age, 
who  live  with  their  parents  in  the  hills  during  the  hot  season,  it  has 
also  enabled  some  missionary  families  to  remain  in  India  who  other- 
wise might  have  felt  constrained  to  return.  The  aim  of  the  principal, 
Mrs.  J.  S.  Scott,  and  her  excellent  corps  of  teachers,  has  been  to 
keep  the  educational  standard  high,  and  at  the  same  time  to  diffuse, 
as  much  as  possible,  a  home  atmosphere  in  the  school.  Ninety-five 
boarders  were  enrolled  during  the  year,  and  twelve  day  pupils.  The 
institution  is  largely  self-supporting.  The  depreciation  in  the  value 
of  silver,  however,  during  the  past  year,  has  been  a  heavy  drain  on 
the  resources  of  the  school.  This,  together  with  the  steady  increase 
in  the  cost  of  living  in  the  Hills,  has  made  it  exceedingly  difficult  to 
meet  all  obligations.  Miss  Annie  E.  Scott  writes:  "In  spiritual 
matters,  we  have  both  encouragement  and  discouragement.  Some 
characters  are  transformed  by  the  mighty,  silent  Power,  while  others 
resist  all  good  influences.  We  are  constantly  cheered  by  good  news 
from  those  who  have  been  with  us  in  times  past  and  profit  from  the 
lessons  learned  other  than  those  from  books  at  Woodstock."  The 
power  of  this  institution  in  moulding  the  character  of  many  who  are 
to  occupy  positions  of  usefulness  in  the  future  cannot  be  estimated. 
It  is  confidently  expected  that  girls  trained  within  its  walls,  will  more 
and  more  give  themselves  to  some  form  of  mission  work  as  the  years 
go  by.

INDIA — I'AKKUKHABAD.  1 19 

Farrukhabad  Mission. 

The  death  of  Miss  Sara  C.  Seward,  M.D.,  which  occurred  at  Alla- 
habad, June  12,  1891,  the  return  of  Miss  Bessie  Babbitt  on  account 
of  ill  health,  and  serious  illness  in  the  families  of  Rev.  C.  A.  Rodney 
Janvier,  and  Rev.  J.  N.  Forman,  necessitating  a  temporary  furlough 
in  America,  are  among  the  shadows  which  have  fallen  upon  this  mis- 
sion during  the  past  year.  Dr.  Seward  became  connected  with  this 
Board  in  1873,  and  succeeded  under  many  discouragements  in  build- 
ing up  a  successful  dispensary  work.  Dr.  Seward  had  a  wide  reputa- 
tion as  an  able  physician  and  skilful  surgeon,  and  had  just  realized 
her  long-cherished  desire  of  seeing  a  commodious  hospital  erected 
when  she  ceased  from  her  labors.  The  Board  is  anxiously  looking  for 
a  successor  to  Dr.  Seward  to  fill  the  important  position  left  vacant. 
The  return  of  Rev.  W.  F.  Johnson,  D.D.,  to  Allahabad  after  an  ab- 
sence of  several  years,  accompanied  by  his  daughter,  Miss  Mary  E. 
Johnson,  recently  appointed,  affords  timely  and  valuable  help  to  the 
mission  in  its  present  straits. 

Farrukhabad — Fategarh  Station. 

These  cities,  some  four  miles  apart,  constitute  one  station,  the 
former  being  the  native  city,  and  the  latter  what  is  known  as  the 
"  Civil  Station,"  the  residence  of  English  and  other  foreigners.  There 
are  two  churches  connected  with  this  station,  one  in  Farrukhabad  and 
the  other  at  Rakha  in  Fategarh.  Mr.  Forman  has  acted  as  stated 
supply  to  the  former,  and  Mr.  Janvier  to  the  latter  part  of  the  year, 
because  of  the  illness  and  absence  of  Rev.  Mohan  Lai.  The  Farruk- 
habad church  has  a  roll  of  fifty-five  communicants,  of  whom  two  were 
received  during  the  year,  and  that  at  Rakha  eighty-five.  The  Sabbath- 
school  connected  with  the  latter  reports  an  encouraging  increase  in 
the  number  of  men  attending.  The  Sabbath-school  in  Farrukhabad, 
held  in  the  High-School  building,  and  superintended  by  Mr.  Forman, 
reports  an  attendance  of  upwards  of  two  hundred,  most  of  the  stu- 
dents attending  during  the  week  being  present  also  on  Sunday,  with 
a  number  of  outsiders.  The  new  church  building  which  has  been  in 
hand  for  some  time,  and  to  which  Mr.  Janvier  has  given  much  atten- 
tion, has  been  completed.  It  stands  in  the  midst  of  a  crowded  bazaar 
within  easy  reach  of  the  multitudes  passing  to  and  fro.  It  is  a  large 
and  commodious  structure,  intended  not  only  for  the  accommodation 
of  Christians,  but  as  a  place  in  which  to  hold  evangelistic  services  for 
the  heathen.  If  the  people  can  be  induced  to  attend,  which  is  con- 
fidently expected,  it  will  have  a  great  advantage  over  the  street  for 
services,  not  only  being  protected  in  a  measure  from  the  noise,  but 
being  less  liable  to  interruptions. 

Evangelistic. — This  has  been  largely  in  the  hands  of  Mr.  Forman 
with  efficient  native  helpers,  Mr.  Janvier,  however,  taking  part  in  the 
bazaar  preaching.  Whenever  possible  Mr.  Forman  conducted  services 
in  the  early  evening  in  some  courtyard  or  lane,  and  also  has  opened 
some  work  among  the  Sweepers  in  a  certain  section  of  the  city,  besides 
regular  preaching  in  the  bazaar.    Accompanied  by  several  native  help 


120  INDIA — FARRUKHABAD. 

ers,  he  also  spent  several  months  in  the  district  among  the  villages. 
Of  Gurshai  he  writes  : 

"  Within  a  radius  of  four  miles  of  this  place  there  are  markets  every  day 
of  the  week,  and  some  days  markets  at  two  places  within  the  four  miles. 
These  markets  are  gathering-places  for  villagers  from  all  directions  to  buy  and 
sell.  There  are  large  numbers,  and  the  people  are  very  ready  to  come  and 
listen.  Sellers  of  grain,  cloth,  shoes,  trinkets,  and  vegetables  make  a  weekly  tour 
of  these  markets,  and  they  should  be  just  as  regularly  visited  by  our  preachers. 
I  have  found  these  capital  places  for  preaching  all  over  our  district.  At  Gursa- 
haigonj  we  need  two  strong  men  to  devote  their  afternoons  to  this  work,  and 
their  mornings  to  visiting  the  villages.  There  is  also  a  mela  of  some  import- 
ance springing  up  near  Gursahaigonj  at  the  tomb  of  a  Mohammedan  '  Martyr.'  " 

When  visiting  Tirwa  he  was  told  of  an  old  man  over  seventy  years 
of  age  who  had  lived  in  that  place  fifty-one  years  and  had  never 
known  of  its  being  visited  by  a  missionary.  Appalling  as  this  fact  is, 
it  is  scarcely  to  be  wondered  at  when  it  is  remembered  that  in  the  dis- 
trict of  Farrukhabad  alone  there  are  nearly  four  thousand  villages, 
many  of  which  if  in  our  own  country  would  have  from  one  to  five 
churches  each.  Idolatry  seems  to  flourish  here,  as  Mr.  Forman  re- 
ports several  fine  new  temples,  to  one  of  which  the  Rajah  of  Tirwa 
is  credited  with  contributing  large  funds.  There  is  crying  need  for 
additional  help  to  take  hold  of  this  village  work  which  is  so  full  of 
promise. 

Mr.  Janvier  with  the  aid  of  his  colleagues  during  part  of  the  year 
conducted  an  English  service  for  some  two  hundred  British  soldiers 
who  were  in  garrison  in  P'arrukhabad.  As  a  result  of  this,  eight  of  the 
men  confessed  Christ  before  they  were  transferred  to  another  station. 

Educational. — The  High  School,  under  the  efficient  management  of 
Mr.  Rulach,  has  had  a  prosperous  year.  Mr.  Janvier  writes  :  "  The 
advanced  classes  are  larger  than  last  year,  and  the  fees  paid  for  tuition 
have  decidedly  increased.  In  character  of  work  done,  in  regularity 
of  attendance,  and  in  proportion  of  passes  in  examination,  the  pre- 
vious high  standard  has  been  fully  maintained."  Mr.  Janvier  has  con- 
tinued to  conduct  the  morning  religious  exercises,  and  to  teach  the 
first  and  second  classes  in  the  Scriptures.  Because  of  an  epidemic  of 
cholera  in  Farrukhabad  during  August  and  September,  the  school  was 
closed  for  one  week.    Concerning  this  the  report  says  : 

"  One  morning,  when  the  disease  had  just  begun  to  spread  and  the  death- 
rate  to  increase,  the  special  burden  of  my  opening  prayer  was  that  the  Lord 
would  be  graciously  pleased  to  preserve  our  boys  and  their  families  in  this 
time  of  danger.  The  prayer  was  heard,  and  not  one  of  the  homes  of  our 
scholars,  scattered  all  over  the  city,  was  visited  by  death.  The  boys  them- 
selves called  Mr.  Rulach's  attention  to  the  fact,  and  acknowledged  it  to  be  an 
answer  to  prayer." 

Six  vernacular  schools  have  been  in  operation,  one  in  Farrukhabad 
and  five  in  the  surrounding  villages,  with  a  total  enrollment  of  two 
hundred  and  eighty  pupils.  Mr.  Forman  and  Gulam  Masih,  a 
native  assistant,  took  charge  of  the  religious  instruction  in  thesa 
schools.  Miss  Forman  had  also  the  superintendence  of  nine  girls' 
schools  in  addition  to  work  among  the  women,  and  the  care  of  a 
Sabbath-school  in  Farrukhabad  numbering  twenty-five.

In  addition  to  his  ordinary  missionary  work,  Mr.  Janvier  has 
given  some  attention  to  the  Presbyterian  Widows'  and  Orphans' 
Fund  for  native  Christians,  the  object  being  to  stimulate  the 
Christians  to  make  provision  for  the  future.  The  opinion  is  ex- 
pressed that  "  widely  patronized  it  would  go  far  toward  solving  the 
problem  of  how  to  support  indigent  Christians  without  compromis- 
ing their  independence."  Mr.  Janvier  has  also  acted  as  one  of  a 
visiting  committee  to  a  Government  Reformatory  for  the  Sansias,  a 
gipsy  race,  which  has  been  declared  a  criminal  class,  the  older  per- 
sons being  confined  to  a  sort  of  penal  settlement,  and  the  children 
placed  in  reformatory  schools. 

Mainpurie  Station. 

This  station  has  been  bereaved  by  the  death  of  Har  Pershad,  one 
of  its  oldest  and  most  esteemed  catechists.  "  His  simple  faith,  and 
wonderful  personal  magnetism,  and  his  clear  exposition  of  the  plan  of 
salvation,  rendered  him  exceptionally  popular  and  successful  in  the 
bazaars  and  villages."  The  attendance  on  public  worship,  both  on 
Sunday  and  during  the  week,  is  reported  as  punctual  and  regular,  and 
the  spirit  of  the  worshippers  earnest.  There  has  been  a  large  attend- 
ance of  non-Christians  at  these  services.  Concerning  outside  work 
Mr.  Inglis  reports  :  "  During  January  and  February  we  were  all  able 
to  make  a  tour  among  the  villages  to  which  we  always  turn  with  pleas- 
ure when  station  duties  permit.  Fvery  morning  and  evening,  Sundays 
excepted,  the  two  catechists  and  myself  visited  and  preached  in  the 
villages  accessible  to  our  camp  and  always  found  ready  listeners.  On 
Sundays  we  held  a  service  at  the  camp  and  invited  the  people  to  wit- 
ness our  Christian  worship  and  hear  the  story  of  the  Cross.  In  these 
Sunday  services  Miss  Babbitt's  portable  organ  was  a  great  help,  for  it 
not  only  brought  the  people  out,  but  held  their  attention  by  the  prom- 
ise it  gave  of  a  short  service  of  song  at  the  close  of  our  regular  wor- 
ship." Work  at  the  outstation  Eiah,  under  the  care  of  a  Scripture 
reader  and  a  licentiate,  has  been  carried  on.  Several  inquirers  are 
reported. 

Educational. — The  High-School,  with  Mr.  C.  H.  A.  Emile  as 
headmaster,  had  an  average  attendance  of  ninety-five,  and  is  reported 
as  having  made  decided  progress  both  in  numbers  and  efficiency.  In- 
struction in  the  Scriptures  has  been  given  in  the  first  and  second 
classes  by  Mr.  Inglis,  and  in  the  others  by  an  assistant.  At  the  Scrip- 
ture scholarship  examination  for  this  Province  four  students  received 
prizes,  and  seven  received  pass  marks.  Mr.  Inglis  has  also  superin- 
tended a  Sunday-school  consisting  of  the  high-school  pupils,  and  the 
teachers  in  the  primary  schools. 

Two  Vernacular  schools  for  boys  are  reported  in  Mainpurie,  with  an 
attendance  of  forty-six,  and  two  at  Etah,  with  an  attendance  of  thirty- 
six.  There  are  also  ten  schools  for  girls  in  Mainpurie,  with  a  total 
enrollment  of  one  hundred  and  seventy,  and  two  in  Etah,  with  twenty- 
three  pupils,  Ten  Bible  schools  are  also  reported  as  held  during  the 
week  with  an  attendance  of  one  hundred  and  sixty-two. 


122  INDIA — ETAWAH. 

Zenana  Work. — This  has  been  under  the  care  of  Mrs.  Jarbo. 
Seventy-eight  homes  have  been  regularly  visited,  and  forty- three  pu- 
pils received  regular  instruction.  Mrs.  Jarbo  says  :  "  The  women  re- 
ceive us  with  the  utmost  cordiality,  and  listen  to  the  Scripture  lessons 
with  great  attention." 

Etawah  Station. 

No  detailed  statement  concerning  the  church  and  general  work  of 
this  station  has  been  received.  Mr.  Woodside,  assisted  by  native 
helpers,  has  maintained  the  usual  religious  services  during  the  year. 
From  the  report  of  Miss  Belz,  whose  fidelity  and  zeal  are  worthy  of 
all  praise,  the  following  extracts  are  made  : 

"  I  have  met  with  more  inquirers  than  in  any  former  year,  and  it  seems  to 
me  as  if  a  great  many  of  those  among  whom  I  labor  are  beginning  now  to 
think  of  Jesus  Christ  as  the  Saviour  of  sinners.  At  one  place  where  I  had 
spoken  a  boy,  on  my  going  away,  said  something  against  the  Lord  Jesus, 
when  a  Brahman  with  a  loud  voice  said:  '  Believe  it  or  do  not  believe  it,  as  you 
like,  but  do  not  speak  against  him.'  An  aged  Brahman  woman  here  in  the  city, 
who  seems  to  be  not  far  from  the  kingdom  of  heaven,  and  with  her  husband 
and  sons  takes  a  great  interest  in  the  Gospel  message,  said  to  me  again  and 
again  :  '  When  you  are  going  to  preach  in  this  quarter  of  the  city,  as  long  as  I 
live  come  to  my  house  and  do  the  same,  so  that  I  also  may  hear  the  good 
word.'  At  the  house  of  a  washerman,  where  I  had  spoken  several  times  be- 
fore, the  woman  of  the  house  said  to  me,  in  the  presence  of  her  husband  and 
several  other  people:  '  We  do  not  any  longer  work  on  Sundays.'  A  high-caste 
woman  said  to  me:  '  When  I  hear  from  you  the  good  word,  then  I  can  forget 
all  my  sorrow;  but  if  I  have  not  the  opportunity  of  hearing  it  for  some  time, 
I  generally  feel  very  sad.'  A  woman  of  the  writer  caste  has  been  showing  for 
some  years  a  great  interest  in  the  Christian  religion,  and  whenever  I  came  to 
her  house  some  of  her  neighbors  also  would  come  to  hear  me,  and  put  ques- 
tions to  me  about  Hinduism  and  the  Christian  religion,  which  I  had  to  answer. 
At  one  of  my  late  visits  there,  only  one  of  her  neighbors,  a  Thakeer  woman, 
was  present,  and  we  got  at  once  into  an  earnest  religious  conversation.  Both 
women  confessed  to  me  that  they  should  like  to  become  disciples  of  the  Lord 
Jesus,  in  order  to  be  saved  by  Him.  I  said  to  them:  '  Then  you  must  be  bap- 
tized, because  that  is  the  rite  to  be  administered  to  every  one  who  becomes  a 
Christian.'  The  Thakeer  woman  then  put  the  question:  'Where  or  at  what 
place  is  baptism  to  be  performed?'  Upon  which  the  other  woman  answered: 
'  In  the  Christians'  church  here  in  the  city.'  But  to  come  to  our  church  here,  and 
to  be  seen  by  strange  men,  and  to  be  baptized  by  a  strange  gentleman,  the 
Padri  Sahib,  and  then  to  be  reviled  and  persecuted  by  their  own  people,  and  lo 
be  turned  out  of  their  house,  seemed  to  these  two  high-caste  women  more 
than  they  felt  able  to  bear.  Another  woman,  who  also  wished  to  become  a 
Christian,  confessed  her  desire  to  live  with  me  I  said  to  her:  'You  ought  not 
to  live  with  us  Christians,  but  to  remain  in  your  own  house  and  among  your 
own  people,  but  you  must  be  baptized,  for  that  is  the  sign  of.  becoming  a  dis- 
ciple of  the  Lord  Jesus.'  She  then  put  the  question:  '  By  whom  would  I  be 
baptized?'  I  answered:  '  By  the  Padri  Sahib.'  She  replied:  'If  you  would 
baptize  me  I  would  be  ready  to  receive  baptism,  but  by  a  gentleman  I  could 
not  have  the  rite  performed.'  She  seemed  to  think  that  if  she  could  be  a 
Christian  without  being  publicly  baptized,  then  her  caste  people  would  not  turn 
her  out  of  her  house.  1  see  every  day  when  I  am  among  the  people  that  their 
faith  in  their  own  religion  is  almost  gone,  and  the  desire  to  hear  more  about 
Je»us  Christ  is  increasing.  Though  the  system  of  caste  is  a  strong  bulwark  of 
the  devil  to  keep  the  people  away  from  Christ,  the  Lord  Jesus  is  stronger,  and 
can  destroy  all  obstacles  if  He  pleases." 

Miss  Belz  has  also  superintended  a  number  of  zenana  schools 
where  ninety  pupils  have  been  taught  by  three  native  teachers.     She 


INDIA — MORAR,   JHANSI.  1 23 

notes  with  gratitude  that  among  the  higher  classes  there  is  an  in- 
creasing desire  to  have  their  girls  educated.  Many  of  those  who 
have  been  under  instruction  in  our  zenana  schools  are  now  able  to 
read  and  write.  Miss  Belz  examines  these  schools  regularly  and 
pays  the  teachers  in  proportion  to  the  progress  made  by  the  pupils. 
She  also  gives  personal  attention  to  the  religious  instruction  of  the 
girls. 

Morar  Station. 

This  was  formerly  an  English  Cantonment  adjacent  to  the  u  Eash- 
kar,"  as  the  capital  of  Gwalior  is  called.  Gwalior  is  a  native  State 
governed  by  its  own  Rajah,  and  has  a  population  of  two  and  a  half 
millions.  Since  the  death  of  the  Rev.  Dr.  Warren,  Mrs.  Warren  has 
continued  to  reside  in  the  mission  house,  and  to  superintend  the 
mission  work  at  this  place.  By  means  of  gifts  from  English  residents 
and  friends  in  America,  a  stone  church  has  been  erected,  but  remains 
unfinished.  The  walls  afford  protection  from  the  intense  heat  of  the 
sun,  although  not  from  the  cold  of  the  early  winter  mornings.  Mrs. 
Warren  superintends  a  large  Sunday-school  which  is  held  in  this 
place,  while  a  native  minister  preaches  the  Gospel  here,  and  also  in 
the  bazaar  and  the  district.  It  is  understood  that  Mrs.  Warren  re- 
mains in  Morar  by  sufferance  only,  she  having  persistently  refused 
to  withdraw  at  the  time  when  the  English  Government  surrendered 
the  place  to  the  native  Rajah.  No  other  mission  work  is  being  at- 
tempted in  this  native  State,  except  what  is  done  under  the  eye  of 
this  missionary,  nor  is  the  way  open  at  present  for  a  larger  occupa- 
tion. It  is  earnestly  hoped,  however,  that  by  retaining  our  present 
foothold,  God,  in  His  providence,  may  open  the  way  for  a  further 
extension  of  the  work. 

Jhansi  Station. 

The  assignment  of  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Griswold  to  this  station  was  a 
welcome  reinforcement,  as  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Holcomb  had  stood  alone 
from  the  opening  of  the  station.  Although  the  time  of  the  new 
missionaries  was  largely  taken  up  in  the  study  of  the  language,  they 
rendered  valuable  service  in  various  departments  of  the  work,  and 
have  recently  had  their  first  experience  in  itineration  accompanied 
only  by  native  helpers. 

Regular  services  have  been  maintained  on  Sunday  morning  and 
Wednesday  afternoon  in  the  school-house  on  the  mission  compound. 
The  new  city  church,  which  will  be  dedicated  before  this  report 
reaches  the  General  Assembly,  and  which  is  built  in  the  very  midst  of 
the  heathen  population,  will  be  a  valuable  addition  to  the  equipment 
of  this  station.  A  large  amount  of  the  money  needed  in  the  erection 
of  the  building  has  been  secured  through  the  efforts  of  Mr.  and  Mrs. 
Holcomb.  The  building  includes  a  reading-room,  which  it  is  pro- 
posed to  keep  open  during  the  day,  and  also  in  the  evenings.  Mrs. 
Holcomb  has  already  received  through  friends  a  library  comprising 
about  one  thousand  volumes.  Many  of  the  books  were  contributed 
by  American  and  British  publishers.     This  method  of  Christian  effort, 


124  INDIA — J  H  ANSI. 

so  valuable  in  parts  of  South  India,  is  believed  to  be  full  of  promise. 
It  is  said  that  in  the  various  railway  and  Government  offices  in  Jhansi 
there  are  at  least  a  thousand  English-speaking  natives  employed. 
Besides  English  literature,  the  intention  is  to  secure  as  much  as  pos- 
sible of  Christian  literature  in  the  Urdu  and  Hindi  languages. 

Preaching  to  the  heathen  has  been  maintained  part  of  the  time  at 
the  preaching-stand  in  the  market-place  by  an  evangelist  and  cate- 
chist ;  they  have  also  visited  a  large  number  of  the  lower  classes  in 
out-of-the-way  parts  of  the  city,  and  by  simple  discourse  or  in  con- 
versation have  told  them  of  Christ.  Four  Sunday-schools  have  been 
held  in  connection  with  this  station  in  various  parts  of  the  city. 

Educational. — Concerning  the  Girls'  School  Mrs.  Holcomb  writes  : 

"  Our  school  for  girls,  still  taught  in  the  little  building  in  the  mission  com- 
pound, is  a  most  interesting  feature  of  our  work.  We  have  in  this  school, 
children  from  Christian,  from  Bengali,  up-country  Hindi,  and  Parsi  families. 
The  English,  Hindi,  Urdu,  and  Bengali  languages  are  taught.  The  school  is 
opened  and  closed  with  prayer,  and  a  season  is  set  apart  each  day  for  religi- 
ous instruction,  while  the  singing  of  Christian  hymns  set  to  native  airs  is  a 
feature  of  the  instruction  given,  which  is  greatly  appreciated  by  the  pupils, 
and  at  the  same  time  a  potent  factor  in  imparting  as  well  as  in  disseminating 
Christian  truth,  as  the  children  sing  at  home  the  songs  they  learn  in  school." 

This  effort  for  the  high-caste  girls  is  believed  to  be  full  of  promise, 
not  only  because  of  the  direct  influence  of  the  work  upon  the  chil- 
dren, but  indirectly  upon  the  parents.  While  reaching  out  to  the  high- 
caste  girls  Mrs.  Holcomb  has  been  anxious  to  establish  a  school  for 
those  of  a  lower  grade  in  the  city,  but  has  been  hindered  for  lack  of  a 
Christian  teacher. 

House-to-house  visitation  has  been  continued  under  the  direction 
of  Mrs.  Holcomb,  as  also  by  herself  in  person.  One  of  the  many 
difficulties  in  this  work  is  thus  referred  to : 

"The  lot  of  many  of  the  child-wives  in  India  is  sad  indeed.  In  one  kouse, 
which  we  are  permitted  to  visit,  are  two  of  the  former  pupils  of  our  girls' 
school,  one  a  daughter  of  the  house  and  the  other  a  daughter-in-law.  These 
girls,  for  they  are  both  mere  children  still,  left  our  school  two  years  ago,  be- 
cause regarded  as  too  old  to  go  abroad.  The  daughter  continues  her  lessons 
at  home,  but  the  daughter-in-law  is  not  allowed  to  learn,  nor  indeed  often  to 
see  us.  Recently,  while  giving  instruction  to  the  daughter,  we  saw  at  the  head 
of  a  flight  of  stairs  the  daughter-in  law  looking  wistfully  down.  '  Do  let  her 
come,'  we  pleaded.  '  She  does  not  care  to  come,'  answered  the  mother-in-law. 
'Only  give  her  permission  and  she  will  come,  I  am  sure,'  we  replied.  'Very 
well,'  was  answered.  The  child  made  no  response  when  I  called,  but  as  soon 
as  she  heard  the  voice  of  her  mother-in-law  she  came  swiftly  down,  but  with  a 
look  on  her  face  that  was  pitiful  to  see.  She  stood  until  her  mother-in-law  gave 
her  leave  to  be  seated,  and  then  she  dropped  at  my  feet,  and  lifted  to  my  face 
eyes  full  of  fear,  like  those  of  a  hunted  animal.  A  book  was  put  into  her 
hands,  and  she  was  asked  to  read.  'She  is  so  dull,'  said  the  mother-in-law, 
and  she  was  soon  told  to  go  back  to  her  duties,  when  with  swift  step  she  sped 
away,  without  casting  a  look  behind  her.  My  heart  ached  to  see  this  child,  so 
recently  a  happy  girl  in  school,  leading  so  sad  a  life." 

Three  vernacular  schools  for  boys  have  been  open  during  the  year, 
the  two  native  preachers  having  charge  of  the  religious  instruction  of 
the  pupils.     The  report  says  : 


INDIA— FATEHPUR,   ALLAHABAD.  I  25 

"  These  schools  are  most  valuable  as  evangelistic  agencies,  and  their  value 
is  greatly  enhanced  by  the  fact  that  they  are  essential  to  the  success  of  our 
Sunday-school  work.  It  seems  important,  therefore,  that  these  schools  should 
be  multiplied  as  fast  as  we  are  able  to  arrange  for  their  being  efficiently  super- 
intended." 

Literary  Work. — Mr.  Holcomb,  as  a  member  of  the  Hindi  New 
Testament  Translation  Committee,  spent  two  months  with  his  co- 
laborers  on  this  important  work  last  summer,  during  which  time  a  new 
version  of  the  Epistle  to  the  Romans  and  First  Epistle  to  the  Cor- 
inthians was  completed. 

Fatehpur  Station. 

There  being  no  resident  missionary  at  this  station,  Mr.  Alexander 
has  had  the  supervision  of  it,  an  assistant  native  laborer  being 
located  at  the  centre.  The  church  numbers  eighteen  communi- 
cants, of  whom  two  were  received  on  confession  of  faith  during  the 
year,  one  of  them  being  a  young  man  connected  with  a  respectable 
Mohammedan  family  in  Oudhe.  As  intimated  above,  Mr.  Alex- 
ander, in  addition  to  monthly  visits  to  this  place,  spent  several 
weeks  itinerating  in  the  district,  which  has  a  population  of  700,000. 
Early  in  the  year  work  was  begun  at  Bindki,  a  large  market  town  in 
this  district,  some  seventeen  miles  from  the  town  of  Fatehpur. 
The  native  laborers  assigned  there  were  well  received  by  the  people 
of  all  castes.  On  market  days  many  from  distant  localities  heard 
the  word.     Mr.  Alexander  writes  : 

"The  work  soon  developed  among  the  low  castes,  Chamars  and  Mehtars, 
and  now  we  find  many  of  them  ready  to  receive  Christ  as  their  Saviour. 
During  a  recent  tour  I  visited  a'small  hamlet  in  the  suburb  of  Bindki,  inhab- 
ited entirely  by  Mehtars.  These  people,  in  answer  to  my  questions,  expressed 
clearly  their  faith  in  Christ  and  desire  for  baptism.  I  look  forward  hopefully 
to  the  work  among  this  people." 

Allahabad  Station. 

This  station,  located  at  the  junction  of  the  Ganges  and  Jumna, 
and  hence  peculiarly  sacred  in  the  eyes  of  the  Hindus,  and  a  place 
of  annual  pilgrimage  for  thousands  of  Hindus,  is  justly  regarded  as 
a  fine  field  for  missionary  operations.  There  are  two  churches  at 
this  station  connected  with  our  mission,  respectively  located  on  the 
mission  premises  at  Katra  and  the  Jumna,  some  three  miles  apart. 
That  at  Katra  numbers  eighty-five  communicants,  five  of  whom 
were  admitted  on  confession  of  faith  during  the  year.  It  is  under 
the  pastoral  care  of  Rev.  Mr.  Caleb,  but  during  his  serious  illness 
of  several  months  Mr.  Alexander  took  his  place.  The  Jumna 
church  has  a  roll  of  one  hundred  and  twenty-nine,  of  whom  twenty- 
eight  were  added  by  confession  of  faith  during  the  year.  This 
church  being  without  a  pastor,  Dr.  Lucas  has  continued  to  be 
responsible  both  for  pulpit  and  pastoral  work. 

Evangelistic. — Services  for  non-Christians  were  conducted  in  what 
is  known  as  the  City  church,  located  in  the  midst  of  the  crowded 
bazaar,  during  the  evenings  of  the  week.     During  part  of  the  year 


1 26  INDIA — ALLAHABAD. 

Mr.  Tracy  shared  the  responsibility  of  these  services  with  Dr. 
Lucas.  Mr.  Alexander  also  preached  in  the  bazaars  of  the  city,  and 
in  the  neighboring  villages.  Dr.  Lucas  spent  five  weeks  across  the 
Jumna,  preaching  in  the  villages  of  the  Allahabad  district.  He 
was  accompanied  by  Mrs.  Lucas,  who  spent  the  mornings  and 
evenings  in  the  villages  within  three  or  four  miles  of  the  camp 
talking  to  the  women.  In  connection  with  work  in  the  district  Mr. 
Alexander  says  : 

"  There  has  been  no  time  since  I  joined  the  mission  in  1886  in  which  the 
spirit  of  earnest  inquiry  has  been  so  prevalent  as  during  the  year  under  review. 
I  noticed  this  first  during  our  tour  in  the  Fatehpur  district  in  January  and 
February,  and  all  through  the  year  indications  of  the  Spirit's  work  in  the 
hearts  of  many  have  been  manifested,  especially  among  the  low  castes  in  the 
Fatehpur  district.  The  preaching  tour  in  this  district,  which  lasted  over  a 
month,  was  of  more  than  usual  interest.  The  people  received  us  gladly  in 
almost  all  the  villages.  At  Jahanabal,  a  town  of  ten  thousand  inhabitants 
which  had  not  been  visited  by  a  Christian  preacher  for  many  years,  we  spent 
more  than  a  week.  The  people  came  in  crowds  to  our  tents,  remaining  hours, 
and  some  were  not  inclined  to  leave  the  camp.  It  was  a  joy  to  preach  to  such 
eager  crowds.  The  impression  made  was  manifest,  as  several  expressed  a 
desire  for  baptism." 

Educational. — The  Jumna  Boys'  High-School,  of  which  Dr.  Lucas 
is  Principal,  had  an  attendance  of  two  hundred  and  forty,  of  whom 
thirty  are  Christians.  In  addition  to  the  opening  religious  services 
each  day,  Dr.  Lucas  spent  half  an  hour  giving  Bible  instruction  to 
the  first  and  second  classes,  while  the  religious  instruction  of  the 
other  classes  has  been  in  the  hands  of  native  Christians.  The 
branch  school  in  the  city  reports  a  roll  of  sixty  boys. 

The  Katra  Middle  School  had  a  roll  of  one  hundred  and  twenty- 
six  boys,  of  whom  sixty-four  were  Hindus,  thirty-five  Moham- 
medans, and  thirty-seven  Christians.  Mr.  Alexander,  when  in  the 
city,  conducts  the  opening  exercises  of  this  school,  and  also  holds  a 
special  religious  service  on  Saturdays.  A  number  of  the  boys  seem 
deeply  interested  in  the  truth,  and  are  only  hindered  from  confessing 
Christ  through  fear  of  their  friends. 

The  Girls'  Boarding- School. — This  school  has  continued  under 
the  superintendence  of  Mrs.  John  Newton,  with  whom  Miss  Morrow 
and  Miss  Colman  are  associated.  Fifty  boarders  were  in  attendance, 
all  daughters  of  native  Christians  ;  also  five  day  pupils.  The  number 
of  the  latter  could  readily  be  increased  were  it  not  for  the  distance 
of  the  school  from  the  homes  of  the  native  Christians.  The 
spiritual  tone  of  the  school  is  excellent,  and  four  of  the  girls  made 
a  public  profession  of  faith  during  the  year. 

Mrs.  Lucas,  who  has  charge  of  the  girls'  schools  in  the  city, 
reports  that  the  pupils  are  making  excellent  progress  in  their 
studies,  but  laments  that  the  custom  of  early  marriages  takes  them 
out  of  school  at  the  very  time  when  they  ought  to  be  retained.  A 
Bible-woman,  under  the  direction  of  Mrs.  Lucas,  has  visited  reg- 
ularly twenty-two  zenanas,  in  some  of  which  she  has  pupils,  and  in 
all  of  which  she  gives  Bible  instruction. 

Mrs.  Alexander  has  had  the  supervision  of  sixty  zenanas,  where 


INDIA — ALLAHABAD.  1 27 

there  are  eighty  pupils  under  instruction.  She  has  also  the  over- 
sight of  a  school  on  the  Katra  compound  taught  by  a  native 
Christian,  but  the  religious  instruction  in  the  school  is  given  by 
Mrs.  Alexander  in  person. 

In  connection  with  the  boys'  school  in  the  village  of  Shadiatad,  on 
the  bank  of  the  Ganges,  Mr.  Alexander  mentions  the  remarkable  fact 
that  the  Brahmans  of  that  village  decided  that  caste  should  not  in- 
terfere with  the  school  work  established  by  our  mission,  but  that 
children  of  all  classes,  even  Mehtars  (outcastes),  should  attend  the 
same  school.  Between  fifty  and  sixty  were  in  attendance,  mostly 
low  castes,  but  including  some  of  the  higher  castes.  When  visited 
by  one  of  the  secretaries  of  the  Board  fifty-one  boys  were  in  attend- 
ance, of  whom  3  were  Brahmans,  4  Banyas  (shopkeepers),  3  Malla 
(boatmen),  15  Chamars  (leather-workers),  18  Pasi  (cultivators),  4 
Garariyah  (shepherds),  1  Mali  (gardener),  1  Sonar  (goldsmith),  2 
Teli  (oil  merchants),  3  Dhobi  (washermen),  and  2  Mehtar  (sweepers, 
outcastes).  In  the  girls  school  near  by,  held  in  a  low  hut,  were 
thirty-six  pupils,  belonging  to  the  following  families:  2  Brahmans, 
1  Sonar,  12  Chamars,  11  Pasi,  and  10  Malla. 

Medical  Work. — Since  the  death  of  Dr.  Seward  the  work  at  the 
dispensary  has  been  continued  by  Miss  Symes,  formerly  associated 
with  Dr.  Seward,  and  Miss  Christian.  Miss  Symes  reports  11,993 
patients  during  the  year,  of  whom  3,985  were  new.  The  list  in- 
cludes Hindus,  Mohammedans,  native  Christians,  and  a  few  Eura- 
sians and  Europeans.  The  hospital  has  not  yet  been  opened,  and 
cannot  be  until  a  regularly  qualified  physician  is  appointed  to  take 
the  place  of  Dr.  Seward.  Miss  Symes  has  opened  a  dispensary  in 
Katra,  where  the  patients  are  mostly  native  Christians.  Miss  Symes 
and  her  assistant  devote  part  of  each  morning  to  giving  religious 
instruction  in  the  dispensary  to  the  women  who  come,  including 
both  high  castes  and  low  castes. 

Dr.  Lucas  has  continued  to  superintend  the  Leper  and  Blind 
Asylums  at  Allahabad,  taking  entire  oversight  of  the  religious  in- 
struction. As  heretofore  reported,  these  institutions  are  supported 
entirely  by  a  municipal  grant  and  local  contributions.  Of  the 
thirty-eight  lepers  in  the  asylum  sixteen  are  Christians,  and  of  the 
sixty-five  inmates  of  the  Blind  Asylum  twenty  are  Christians.  A 
number  of  the  Christians  in  both  of  these  institutions  are  noted  for 
their  deep-toned  piety  and  earnest  Christian  life. 

Literary. — Dr.  Lucas,  after  five  years'  labor  at  odd  minutes,  has 
completed  and  issued  his  Commentary  on  First  Corinthians  in  Hin- 
dustani. He  has  also,  with  the  assistance  of  Rev.  Mr.  Fieldbrave, 
continued  to  act  as  editor  of  the  Makyzan-i-Masihi,  a  religious 
paper  which  has  attained  a  wide  circulation.  The  London  Relig- 
ious Tract  Society  and  American  Tract  Society  have  both  made 
grants  towards  the  support  of  this  paper.  As  Secretary  of  the 
Christian  Vernacular  Educational  Society,  Dr.  Lucas  has  been 
greatly  assisted  by  the  Rev.  Joel  David,  who  has  attended  to  all  the 
details  relating  to  the  publications  of  the  society,  as  well  as  the  ac- 
counts. 


128  INDIA — KOLHAPUR. 

The  Orphanage  at  Rakha  has  been  under  the  care  of  Mrs. 
Andrews  during  the  year.  In  the  absence  of  a  detailed  report,  it 
may  be  stated  that  the  number  of  pupils  was  about  the  same  as  last 
year.  Mrs.  Andrews,  who  with  her  husband  has  been  transferred 
to  Mainpurie,  had  become  very  much  attached  to  this  work,  and 
withdrew  from  it  with  great  regret.  Mrs.  Lohr,  the  widow  of  a 
German  missionary,  who  had  resided  some  years  in  India,  together 
with  Mrs.  Jarbo,  who  has  had  charge  of  the  zenana  work  in  Main- 
purie, have  now  become  responsible  for  the  Orphanage,  and  the 
school  connected  with  it.  Besides  superintending  the  Orphanage, 
Mrs.  Andrews  has  done  a  large  amount  of  medical  work  among  the 
villages,  where,  with  the  help  of  a  Bible-woman,  for  whose  support 
she  and  her  husband  were  responsible,  she  has  also  accomplished 
much  in  reaching  the  women  with  the  Gospel.

The  territory  occupied  by  the  Kolhapur  Mission  lies  in  the  Bombay 
Presidency,  southwest  of  Bombay,  and  covers  part  of  the  Deccan. 
Westward  it  extends  to  Ratnagiri  and  eastward  to  Jath,  northward  to 
Karar  and  southward  to  Nipani.  The  Ghats,  a  range  of  mountains 
some  forty  or  fifty  miles  from  the  coast,  cut  the  field  into  two.  The 
Kolhapur  State  lies  east  of  this  range,  and  has  a  population  of  over 


INDIA— KOLHAPUR.  129 

800,000.  Neighboring  districts  in  which  there  are  no  missionaries 
have  a  population  of  1,700,000.  There  must  be  added  to  these,  in 
order  truly  to  understand  the  field,  the  Concan,  or  the  land  between 
the  Ghats  and  the  sea,  in  which  Ratnagiri  is  situated.  Altogether, 
there  is  a  population  of  4,000.000  to  be  reached.  The  Society  for  the 
Propagation  of  the  Gospel  has  a  mission  at  Kolhapur.  With  the 
exception  of  this  and  our  own  missions,  the  nearest  stations  are 
seventy  miles  away,  at  Satara  and  Belgaum.  The  mission  force  has 
not  been  sufficiently  strong  to  enter  all  the  open  doors,  and  though 
Miss  Amanda  Jefferson  and  Miss  E.  T.  Minor  were  sent  during  the 
year,  there  is  still  a  call  for  laborers.  To  apply  normal  training  and 
help  the  native  Christians  to  self-support,  Mr.  John  Jolly  has  been 
sent  to  begin  industrial  work.  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Seiler  are  still  in  the 
United  States.  Mrs.  Seiler  has  not  gained  strength  as  has  been 
desired.  Mr.  Seiler  first  went  to  the  field  in  1870,  and  his  presence 
and  experience  are  largely  missed.  Miss  Margaret  L.  Ewalt,  who 
joined  the  mission  in  1888,  was  obliged  to  return  home  owing  to 
serious  illness,  and  died  on  March  6th  at  her  mother's  home  in  Hoges- 
town,  Pa.  There  are  no  serious  discouragements  in  the  work.  The 
industrial  work  has  been  established.  The  medical  work  will  soon  be 
on  a  firm  basis,  with  every  facility  for  useful  and  large  service.  There 
is  the  need,  however,  as  always,  for  more  men  who  have  the  gift  of 
preaching  Christ  with  winning  and  spiritual  power. 

Kolhapur  Station. 

Kolhapur  is  a  city  of  about  45,000  people,  the  capital  of  the  native 
State  of  the  same  name,  with  a  population  of  about  800,000.  As  seen 
from  a  distance  the  city  is  beautiful  for  situation.  The  most  com- 
manding object,  next  to  the  king's  palace,  is  the  towering  white  dome 
of  a  very  large  temple.  Few  cities  or  places  in  India  have  so  high  a 
reputation  for  sanctity.  The  favorite  legend  among  the  people  is  that 
the  gods,  in  council,  once  pronounced  it  the  most  sacred  spot  of  all 
the  earth. 

Early  in  the  year  this  station  lost  some  of  its  best  workers,  Rev. 
G.  W.  and  Mrs.  Seiler,  Mrs.  Hull,  and  Miss  Ewalt.  In  October  Miss 
Minor  and  Miss  Jefferson  arrived.  On  the  eve  of  Mr.  Seder's  de- 
parture for  the  United  States  Rev.  J.  M.  Irwin  took  charge  of  the 
Mission  High-School  in  Kolhapur,  thus  leaving  the  vernacular  schools 
for  Mr.  Goheen  to  look  after.  The  theological  class  was  taught  this 
year  by  Rev.  G.  H.  Ferris,  who  came  from  Panhala  in  order  to  spend 
the  rainy  season  in  Kolhapur. 

Pastoral  Work. — The  church  in  the  city  looks  almost  like  a  new 
house  since  it  has  been  repaired.  Mr.  Goheen  writes  :  "  It  has  been 
a  pleasure  to  preach  to  the  Christians  seated  as  families  in  their  pews — 
a  privilege  not  enjoyed  before  by  them.  The  Hindu  audiences  have 
been  large  and  more  quiet  than  in  former  years.  On  Communion 
seasons  they  have  been  heard  to  say,  '  See  how  these  Christians  all 
drink  from  one  cup,'  an  unheard-of  thing  among  Caste  Hindus.  I 
have  heard  that  a  little  company  of  Hindus  meet  regularly  every  Sun- 
day evening  to  read  our  Bible,  sing  and  pray.  One  of  them  who  said 
9 


130  INDIA — KOLHAPUR. 

he  didn't  believe  there  was  anything  good  in  any  religion  is  becoming 
very  interested  in  these  meetings.  We  hope  and  pray  that  these 
young  men  may  all  give  their  hearts  to  Christ. 

"  I  have  conducted  daily  prayers  in  the  Christian  Girls'  School  at 
9  a.m.  We  have  gone  over  eleven  chapters  of  Mark's  Gospel.  The 
examination  on  these  chapters  at  Christmas  showed  that  the  girls  had 
given  good  attention  to  this  study. 

"The  death  of  Baizoba's  wife,  Paulinabai,  in  February,  cast  a  deep 
gloom,  not  only  over  the  church,  but  over  the  neighborhood  where  she 
lived.  She  was  '  instant  in  season  and  out  of  season,'  always  more 
concerned  for  the  welfare  of  others  than  for  herself.  I  feel  her  loss  as 
pastor,  knowing  that  she  was  one  who  prayed  earnestly  for  me.  But 
'  our  loss  is  her  eternal  gain.'  Our  hearts  were  again  saddened  in 
October  by  the  death  of  Hannahbai,  a  mother  whose  death  makes  a 
large  vacancy  in  the  home.  '  For  her  to  die  was  gain.'  Both  these 
women  left  large  families  of  children,  each  a  little  babe  only  a  few 
days  old." 

These  losses  are  felt  the  more  because  the  women  are  the  heads  of 
the  households  truly,  and  the  loss  of  a  mother  is  far  more  severe  to 
the  children  than  the  loss  of  a  father  would  be, — so  much  so,  that 
provision  must  be  made  for  little  children,  not  when  their  fathers  die, 
but  when  the  mothers  are  lost,  for  they  are  the  real  bread-winners. 

Evangelistic  Work. — This  work  has  not  been  carried  on  regularly 
in  Kolhapur  City  and  in  the  districts.  Baizoba  has  preached  daily  in 
the  city,  and  Mr.  Goheen  has  helped  him  at  the  Monday  and  Friday 
evening  preaching  service  on  the  street  in  front  of  the  City  Church. 
Shidaram,  who  teaches  in  the  Mission  High-School,  has  seldom  failed 
to  be  present,  and  has  greatly  assisted  in  these  services.  Mr.  Goheen 
has  preached  once  a  month  in  Herleh  and  Wadgaon,  after  examining 
the  Boys'  School  in  each  town.  Shidaram,  who  lives  in  Wadgaon,  has 
done  good,  faithful  service  this  year,  and  the  Hindus,  when  they  send 
for  him  in  case  of  sickness,  always  expect  him  to  pray  for  them,  and 
these  visits  give  him  a  good  opportunity  to  preach  also.  Mr.  Goheen 
relates  one  incident  which  occurred  there.  A  boy  who  had  fallen  into  a 
well  a  mile  away  from  Wadgaon  was  carried  to  the  Government  dispen- 
sary there  ;  the  native  doctor,  after  having  failed  to  restore  respiration, 
advised  the  parents  to  take  the  boy  to  Shidaram,  which  they  did.  The 
native  doctor  followed  them.  Shidaram,  after  praying  earnestly  for 
the  boy,  set  to  work  to  restore  the  boy  to  life.  In  a  little  while  he  sat 
up  and  asked  where  he  was.  The  crowd,  which  had  by  this  time 
assembled,  felt  that  the  boy  had  been  raised  from  the  dead.  Shidaram 
has  given  medicine  to  hundreds  of  people  there  and  in  the  surrounding 
towns.  A  traveling  Hindu  medicine-man  became  much  interested  in 
what  Shidaram  told  him  about  Christ  early  in  the  year.  He  made 
frequent  visits  to  Wadgaon,  and  early  in  December  asked  to  be 
baptized.  At  the  Communion  at  Kolhapur  the  last  of  December,  he 
was  received  into  the  church  on  profession  of  faith,  and  was  baptized 
the  following  Sabbath,  Luke.  It  is  his  purpose  to  carry  on  his  business 
as  a  Christian  and  thus  support  himself.  Shidaram  and  Bussuntroa 
have  made   several  tours  during  the  year.     In  the  towns  which  they 


[NDIA — KOLHAPUK.  I  3  I 

have  visited  they  have  found  the  magic-lantern  very  useful.  They 
have  preached  during  these  tours  in  9s  towns  to  over  11,000  people, 
and  have  distributed  thousands  of  tracts.  The  Kolhapur  Church  has 
paid  the  expenses  of  cart  hire,  etc.,  connected  with  these  tours.  The 
members  have  also  prayed  for  them  while  they  were  out  preaching. 
Bussuntroa  has  preached  during  the  year  in  117  towns.  He  also 
attended  the  theological  class  for  three  months.  Shidaram  preached 
in  249  towns.     Baizoba  preaches  daily  in  Kolhapur  City. 

Sunday-schools. — The  two  Sunday-schools  in  Shuruwar  and  Shun- 
war  Peths  were  closed  early  in  the  year,  owing  to  the  departure  of 
Mrs.  Seiler  and  Mrs.  Hull,  as  there  were  no  persons  to  fill  their 
places.  The  school  in  the  City  Church  has  been  kept  up  all  the  year. 
During  the  rains  there  were  often  300  present ;  the  average  attend- 
ance, 250.  The  International  Lessons  have  been  taught.  The  Sun- 
day-schools at  Herleh  and  Wadgaon  have  each  had  an  average  of  25. 

Bible-Classes. — Mr.  Irwin  conducted  an  English  Bible-class  for 
Christians,  after  the  Sabbath  afternoon  service.  "They  studied,"  he 
says,  "during  the  year,  '  Messianic  Prophecy,'  'Types  and  Antitypes,' 
'  Fulfilled  Prophecy,'  '  The  Manifestation  of  the  Divine  Character  in 
the  Plan  of  Salvation,'  and  'Striking  Confirmations  of  Scripture.'  To 
better  illustrate  these  subjects,  I  have  prepared  some  charts  during 
the  year.  They  have  manifested  much  continued  interest,  and  I  feel 
sure  that  some  have  been  considerably  strengthened  in  their  faith  in 
the  Bible." 

Educational. — 1.  Vernacular  Schools. — There  are  six  vernacular 
schools,  four  for  boys  and  two  for  girls.  All  the  scholars  are  Hindus. 
Four  of  these  schools  are  in  Kolhapur  City,  one  in  Herleh  and  one  in 
Wadgaon,  outstations.  The  school  at  Herleh  has  had  an  attendance 
of  thirty,  all  low-caste  boys,  and  has  made  very  good  progress.  Mr. 
Goheen  examined  it  once  a  month,  and  always  found  some  of  the 
boys  ready  to  rise  into  higher  classes.  Six  were  sent  from  this  school 
to  the  Christian  Boys'  School  at  Sangli,  during  the  year.  A  married 
man  about  thirty  years  old,  who  attended  the  night-school,  was  bap- 
tized early  in  January,  and  has  thus  far  stood  up  boldly  for  Christ, 
although  his  wife  and  friends  have  tried  hard  to  win  him  back  to 
Hinduism.  The  school  at  Wadgaon  had  an  attendance  of  forty ;  but 
during  the  rains  the  headmaster  in  the  Government  School  there 
threatened  the  parents,  if  they  did  not  stop  sending  their  boys  to  the 
mission  school.  This  he  did  because  one  of  the  Brahmin  boys  in  his 
school  became  interested  in  Christianity,  and  therefore  came  to  our 
school  to  be  instructed.  Consequently  our  school  was  almost  broken 
up  for  a  time.  A  school  was  opened  in  Aditwar  (Sunday)  Peth,  in 
June,  with  forty  boys,  and  went  on  well  for  two  months.  While  Air. 
Goheen  was  examining  this  school  one  day,  a  couple  of  men  of 
influence  in  the  Peth  came  in,  and  after  hearing  the  boys  recite  the 
Lord's  Prayer,  Ten  Commandments,  etc.,  went  out.  The  result  was 
none  of  the  boys  were  allowed  to  attend  school  next  day,  so  it  was 
closed.  The  teacher  then  opened  a  school  in  Mungalwar  (Tuesday) 
Peth,  which  met  with  similar  opposition  and  had  to  be  closed  after  a 
couple  of  months. 


132  INDIA — KOLHAPUR. 

2.  Boys'  High-School. — Mr.  Irwin  has  had  charge  of  the  Boys'  High- 
School,  and  has  been  gratified  at  its  growth  and  improvement.  The 
building  has  been  made  more  suitable  for  school  purposes,  and  the 
school  has  been  better  equipped  with  furniture.  The  laboratory  and 
library  have  been  improved,  and  a  reading-room  and  little  gymnasium 
have  been  added.  Regarding  the  school  as  an  evangelizing  agency, 
Mr.  Irwin  writes  :  "  It  is,  I  hear,  quite  proverbial  in  the  town  that  the 
High-School  boys  do  not  conform  to  the  ceremonies  of  the  Hindu 
religion,  and  they  certainly  break  caste  rather  freely.  Many  have,  I 
am  persuaded,  been  quite  convinced  of  the  truth  of  Christianity,  and 
all,  I  think,  have  learned  to  respect  it,  and  gained  much  true  knowl- 
edge concerning  it ;  but  none  have  been  found  this  year  bold  enough 
to  openly  confess  their  faith.  One  boy  named  Shelke  has  at  dif- 
ferent times  manifested  great  interest  and  conviction,  and  still  engages 
in  prayer  on  the  subject  with  one  of  the  servants  of  the  family  and 
another  of  his  friends,  but,  like  many  others,  seems  unable  to  break 
away  from  his  people." 

The  arrangements  for  teaching  Christianity  in  the  school  have  been 
somewhat  improved  in  efficiency  by — 

ist.  The  complete  system  of  Bible  prizes  offered. 

2d.  By  special  care  being  taken  in  daily  prayers  to  secure  full 
attendance  and  order. 

3d.  By  the  institution  of  a  regular  Bible-class  in  the  school  for  the 
students  on  Sabbath  morning,  which  we  hope  may  grow  into  a 
Sabbath-school. 

4th.  By  the  Bible  being  taken  as  a  regular  text-book  in  all  the 
standards. 

5th.  By  a  special  class  in  Bible-reading,  held  at  the  bungalow,  at 
their  own  request. 

6th.  By  tracts  in  both  Marathi  and  English  being  regularly  dis- 
tributed both  in  the  Sabbath-class  and  in  the  daily  classes,  besides  the 
religious  papers  in  the  reading-room. 

The  Christian  vernacular  text-books  are  continued  in  regular  use 
throughout  the  school.  "  We  experienced  no  opposition  in  teaching 
Christian  truth  in  the  school,  except  at  the  time  of  reinstating  the 
lower  standards  and  concerning  the  Christian  vernacular  text-books. 
Naturally  the  natives  appreciate  our  opportunity  with  such  young 
boys,  and  object  to  our  putting  them  through  the  same  course  of 
religious  instruction  as  the  rest.  However,  of  course,  we  held  on  as 
usual.  The  boys  have  ceased  to  be  eager  to  dispute  the  truths  of  the 
Gospel,  and  many  of  them  blush  to  advocate  Hinduism,  while  their 
minds  are  evidently  becoming  saturated  with  Christian  conceptions 
with  regard  to  religion.  They  seem  pleased  to  get  tracts,  and  most  of 
them  are  found  possessed  of  New  Testaments  and  other  portions  of 
the  Bible.  I  have  been  glad  to  notice  that  the  heathen  students  show 
no  scruple  whatever  as  to  association  with  Christian  students." 

3.  Girls'  School. — In  addition  to  the  study  of  Marathi,  Miss  Rachel 
Irwin  has  assisted  Mrs.  Goheen  in  school.  At  the  beginning  of  the  year 
she  taught  one  of  the  lower  classes,  but  since  the  close  of  the  hot  season 
she  had  had  charge  of  the  girls  in  their  dormitory  work  and  also  of  the 


INDIA — PANHALA.  1 33 

sewing  classes.  "  This  was  not  always  easy  work,"  she  writes,  "  owing 
to  my  limited  knowledge  of  the  language  ;  but,  all  things  considered,  we 
have  gotten  on  very  well.  We  have  adopted  some  of  the  methods  of 
work  used  in  the  Asheville  Home  Industrial  School,  and  have  found 
that  they  work  as  well  in  India  as  in  America.  I  see  quite  a  decided 
improvement  in  household  habits  and  dispositions.  In  order  to  en- 
courage thoroughness  in  work,  the  marking  system  was  adopted  and  a 
prize  offered  to  the  one  receiving  the  highest  mark.  This  had  the 
desired  effect,  and  on  Christmas  the  prize  was  given.  While  the  work 
of  a  native  house  is  little  compared  with  the  work  of  one  in  America, 
still  it  seems  to  me  more  difficult,  because  here  they  have  no  con- 
veniences. For  example,  the  natives  have  no  stoves  with  pipes  and 
chimneys  as  we  have  at  home;  they  have  only  a  little  earthen  fire- 
place, with  no  way  for  the  smoke  to  escape,  so  of  course  the  room  and 
eyes  are  filled  with  it.  Then  the  women  have  all  their  grinding  to  do 
between  two  stones,  which  is  hard  work. 

"  The  girls  are  doing  well  in  their  sewing.  This  year  they  have  made 
all  their  own  clothing  and  have  clone  it  well. 

"  I  have  enjoyed  visiting,  with  our  missionary  ladies,  in  many  homes  ; 
but  as  yet  could  only  look  on.  It  will  be  a  glad  day  to  me  when  I 
can  go  and  speak  myself  to  these  poor  women  about  Christ,  and  point 
them  to  the  Saviour.  I  have  often  been  astonished  to  see  how  eagerly 
they  listen  to  our  missionaries,  and  then  turn  away,  saying,  '  We  have 
no  time ;  it  is  our  fate.'  Poor,  ignorant,  down-trodden  women,  how 
little  they  have  to  brighten  their  lives  !  My  heart  goes  out  to  them  in 
their  wretchedness  and  loneliness,  and  I  long  to  help  them  see  in  our 
Saviour  a  sympathizing  Friend." 

A  Commentary  on  Isaiah,  prepared  by  Mr.  Seiler,  is  now  in  the 
hands  of  the  sub-committee  of  the  Bombay  Tract  and  Book  Society. 

Panhala  Station. 

Panhala  is  about  14  miles  north  of  Kolhapur,  and  is  1,000  feet 
higher.  The  station  has  been  in  the  charge  of  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Ferris. 
During  the  hot  season  Mr.  Ferris  was  prostrated  by  lack  of  strength 
from  doing  much  beyond  the  ordinary  station  and  routine  work.  He 
had,  however,  a  weekly  class  with  some  of  the  Christians,  studying  the 
life  and  character  of  David.  At  the  beginning  of  the  rains,  Mr.  Ferris 
went  to  Kolhapur  to  take  charge  of  the  theological  class.  "  The  idea 
in  reference  to  this  Annual  Class,"  he  writes,  "was  this,  not  that  we 
were  ready  to  begin  a  theological  school,  but  that  most  of  our  teachers, 
as  they  were  all  called  on  to  preach  as  well  as  teach,  from  time  to  time, 
might  be  better  fitted  for  their  work  by  a  few  months  devoted  to  the 
study  of  the  Scriptures,  theology,  etc.  It  is  our  hope,  however,  that 
as  the  years  go  by,  this  class  may  grow  in  importance  and  numbers 
until  we  can  make  it  a  full-fledged  theological  school,  with  a  three 
years'  course  of  study.  There  were  only  five  of  the  teachers  who 
were  able  to  attend — Ramchandra  Jingadi,  Basantroa  Thakur,  Tayapa 
Gayakbad,  Rama  Balokaba,  and  Babaji  Ranbhisi.  Babaji  did  the  best, 
all  things  considered,  though  most  of  the  others  did  well.  One,  how- 
ever, was  most  too  old  to  get  much  benefit  from  the  instruction.     In 


134  INDIA — PANHALA. 

theology,  in  discussing  the  two  kinds  of  creation,  from  nothing  and 
from  pre-existing  materials,  when  I  asked  for  an  illustration  of  creation 
from  nothing,  he  answered,  '  If  I  wished  to  build  a  fire  and  had  noth- 
ing from  which  to  build  it,  and  went  to  my  neighbors  and  borrowed 
fuel,  etc.,  from  them  and  made  the  fire,  that  would  be  creation  from 
nothing.' 

"From  one  and  a  half  to  two  hours  every  Fiiday  were  devoted  to 
hearing  and  criticising  ten-minute  sermons  and  sermon  plans  upon 
texts  previously  assigned.  Mr.  Goheen  assisted  me  in  this,  greatly 
to  my  help  and  to  the  benefit  of  the  young  men.  In  these  weekly 
exercises,  which  most  did  well,  Basantroa  made  the  greatest  improve- 
ment." 

Itineration. — "We  were  able  to  go  out  for  a  two  weeks'  tour  in 
December,  and  were  well  received  in  most  places.  From  various 
incidents  and  conversations  with  the  people,  it  would  seem  as  though 
the  light  was  slowly  finding  an  entrance. 

"As  we  drove  into  the  village  of  Ayatavadi  we  heard  the  sound  of 
the  music  of  the  worshippers  of  the  goddess  of  cholera,  and  I  feared 
that  but  few  Mhars  would  come  to  the  school-house  to  listen  to  us. 
But  as  usual  the  house  filled  up,  and  we  had  a  large  and  attentive  au- 
dience. I  afterward  learned  that  the  religious  beggars  had  reached 
Ayatavadi  just  a  few  minutes  before  our  arrival,  and  the  people  had 
gathered  to  listen  to  the  music ;  but  as  soon  as  they  heard  of  our  arri- 
val,every  one  had  left  the  goddess  and  her  music  to  come  to  the  school- 
house.  The  year  before,  the  people  had  given  a  contribution  of  Rs. 
2  or  3  in  copper  and  silver  coins,  besides  other  gifts ;  but  this  year 
they  gave  nothing.  The  worshippers  remained  playing  on  their  instru- 
ments for  a  time,  but  finding  that  no  one  came  to  hear  them  and  to 
make  offerings,  they  went  away  cursing  the  people." 

Educational. — The  boys'  schools  at  Ayatavadi  and  Kodoli  have 
been  carried  on  during  the  year  with  30  and  20  names  on  the  respective 
rolls.  While  Babaji  and  Ramji  were  at  Kolhapur,  the  schools  were  con- 
ducted by  Satuba  and  Santuba. 

Outstations. — The  church  at  Ayatavadi  has  received  into  full  com- 
munion two  of  the  children  of  the  church,  and  on  profession  of  faith 
and  baptism,  Balokoba,  the  father  of  one  of  our  teachers.  His  bap- 
tism was  the  sign  for  the  beginning  of  a  number  of  petty  persecutions 
on  the  part  of  his  wife  and  neighbors.  "  It  is  said  that  at  present, 
when  the  family  are  alone  in  the  house,  his  wife  is  all  right,  but  in  the 
presence  of  other  people  she  is  very  bitter.  May  prayers  be  offered 
up  for  her  conversion  to  the  religion  of  peace." 

Mr.  Ferris  writes  rejoicingly:  "There  is  one  point  in  particular 
which  causes  us  to  rejoice,  and  that  is,  of  the  26  members  two  only 
are  employed  by  the  mission.  Three  are  girls  in  our  Christian 
school  at  Kolhapur  ;  one  is  a  boy  in  the  Christian  school  at  Sangli  ;  two 
are  wives  of  helpers,  and  eight  are  men  who  are  supporting  their  own 
families  by  their  fields  or  by  day  labor,  as  masons,  coolies,  etc.;  seven 
are  wives  of  these  men  ;  one  is  a  widow  who  has  gone  back  to  Hindu- 
ism and  must  be  excommunicated  ;  one  is  a  lame  boy  who  is  largely 
supported  by  the  gifts  of  the  different  Christians  of  the  mission,  and 


INDIA — RATNAGIRI.  135 

one  is  the  widowed  mother  of  the  two  helpers.  Three  of  the  families 
are  in  comfortable  circumstances.  It  is  a  matter  of  rejoicing  that  in 
one  of  our  churches  the  number  of  members  not  supported  by  the 
mission  far  exceeds  that  of  those  who  are  in  the  mission  employ." 

"The  outstation  at  Nerla  has  not  been  occupied  during  the  year,  but 
I  hope  that  before  another  year  goes  by  we  may  be  able  to  place  a 
man  either  there  or  at  Islampur,  a  large  and  more  important  place 
four  miles  from  Nerla." 

"  One  of  the  members  of  the  church  at  Ayatavadi  has  given  nearly, 
if  not  more  than,  one-fifth  of  her  income  for  charitable  and  other  re- 
ligious objects  during  the  year,  besides  what  she  has  put  in  the  regular 
church  collections. 

Native  Helpers. — "  Satuba  and  Santuba  have  continued  their  evan- 
gelistic work  during  the  year.  It  is  always  refreshing  to  meet  Satuba 
and  to  see  the  great  joy  expressed  on  his  face  as  he  speaks  of  Christ. 
For  him  to  live  is  indeed  Christ.  He  has  won  the  confidence  of  the 
people,  and  I  have  frequent  testimony  to  the  faithfulness  of  his  work." 

Ratnagiri  Station. 

Ratnagiri  is  a  place  of  15,000  inhabitants,  one-third  of  whom  are 
Mohammedans.  It  is  situated  on  the  coast,  about  120  miles  south 
of  Bombay.  The  station  was  opened  in  1873,  but  for  a  long  time 
was  virtually  abandoned.  During  the  last  year  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Hannum 
and  Miss  Jennie  Sherman  were  located  here,  and  were  greatly  helped 
in  the  work  by  Khandoba  Lakshmar  Padghalmal,  who  came  from 
Sangli  with  his  family  and  has  settled  at  Ratnagiri. 

Church  Work. — Until  May  14th  Mr.  Tedford  was  at  Ratnagiri, 
and  when  he  left,  Khandoba  came.  Accordingly,  there  were  services 
in  the  church  almost  uninterruptedly.  There  were  preaching  services 
on  Thursdays  and  Sundays,  and  during  the  rainy  season  Saturday 
afternoon  services  were  held,  at  which  Mr.  Hannum  expounded  twelve 
chapters  of  Matthew  in  English. 

Evangelistic  Work. — Two  short  tours  have  been  made  from  the 
station.  In  April  Mr.  Tedford  and  Mr.  Hannum  went  as  far  as  San- 
gameshwar,  thirty-three  miles  north  of  Ratnagiri,  and  were  out  three 
days.  On  that  journey  Mr.  Tedford  preached  in  seven  villages,  sold 
Christian  story-books,  and  distributed  many  tracts.  The  region  is  in 
extreme  need  of  mission  work.  The  people  are  deeply  ignorant  of 
Christ.  Sangameshwar  has  3,400  inhabitants,  and  the  map  shows 
more  than  150  villages  within  a  radius  of  ten  miles  around  it.  In 
May  Mr.  Hannum  went  with  Mr.  Tedford  and  Khandoba  on  a  five 
days'  tour,  reaching  Rajapur,  47  miles  southeast  of  Ratnagiri. 
They  preached  in  twelve  villages.  The  people  in  this  region  ap- 
peared to  be  more  numerous  and  somewhat  more  intelligent  than 
those  to  the  north,  but  equally  in  need  of  the  Gospel.  The  popula- 
tion of  the  town  of  Rajapur  is  4,800,  of  whom  a  considerable  pro- 
portion are  Mussulmans,  a  few  are  Goanese  Roman  Catholics,  and 
the  majority  Hindus.  The  map  shows  160  villages  within  ten  miles 
around.  Thousands  of  pilgrims  are  said  to  resort  annually  to  the 
supposed  holy  waters  of  the  "  Ganga  "  spring  at  Rajapur. 


I36  INDIA— RATNAGIRI. 

Khandoba's  preaching  has  chiefly  been  limited  to  Ratnagiri  and  the 
villages  within  three  or  four  miles  of  it. 

Miss  Sherman  writes  about  some  smaller  itinerations  :  "Two  weeks 
ago  to-day  Messrs.  Tedford  and  Hannum  and  I  went  out  three  and  a 
half  miles  along  the  seashore,  stopping  to  preach  in  three  villages  by 
the  way.  While  the  gentlemen  were  preaching  to  the  men,  I  gathered 
crowds  of  women  and  talked  to  them.  We  returned  home  by  moon- 
light, hungry  from  our  seven-mile  walk,  yet  refreshed  by  the  words  of 
salvation  which  we  had  been  able  to  preach  to  the  heathen.  The  fol- 
lowing morning  Mr.  Hannum  and  I  went  out  to  one  of  the  nearer 
villages  again  to  see  a  sick  man  whom  I  had  found  the  day  before. 
While  I  was  in  the  sick  man's  house,  Mr.  Hannum  stood  out  in  the 
road  distributing  tracts,  and  soon  had  a  small  crowd  around  him.  One 
of  the  passers-by  stopped  and  began  to  talk  vehemently  to  him.  When 
I  arrived  he  asked  me  most  earnestly,  '  Who  was  this  Jesus  of  whom 
this  tract  tells  us?  Was  He  a  man,  God,  or  an  animal,  or  what  ? '  I 
stood  on  the  road  and  told  him  of  Christ's  work  and  death.  He  had 
been  to  the  church  before  and  heard  Mr.  Tedford  preach,  and  said  he 
would  come  again  the  following  Sabbath  (which  he  did).  Before  we 
finished  speaking  a  large  audience  of  men  had  gathered,  and  I  could 
not  help  smiling  to  myself  as  we  walked  home,  as  I  wondered  whether 
some  of  my  home  friends  would  class  such  work  as  'woman's  work.'" 

Literature. — Since  the  reoccupancy  of  Ratnagiri,  900  books  have 
been  distributed  from  the  station,  nearly  200  being  Bibles  or  parts 
of  the  Bible,  about  200  being  text-books  given  in  the  schools,  and  the 
rest  directly  on  Christian  subjects.  More  than  3,000  leaflets  were 
gratuitously  distributed.  Nearly  all  these  leaflets  were  received  free 
from  Rev.  H.  J.  Bruce,  of  Satara.  Atmaram  Krishnaji,  a  Christian 
servant  employed  in  the  bungalow  during  part  of  the  year,  gave  con- 
siderable assistance  in  selling  Christian  books.  From  his  work  it 
seems  probable  that  if  there  were  some  one  at  the  station  to  give  his 
time  to  the  work,  much  good  might  be  done  in  scattering  good  Chris- 
tian literature  among  the  people. 

Educational. — Mr.  Hannum  has  taught  two  hours  a  week  in  the 
new  English  school  of  Mr.  Joshi,  so  as  to  get  hold  of  some  of  the 
boys  for  better  things.  Mr.  Joshi  has  been  anxious  for  the  mission  to 
take  charge  of  his  school,  but  this  course  has  not  seemed  expedient. 
There  are  four  schools,  two  in  Ratnagiri — the  Chaundewata  boys' 
school  with  45  pupils,  and  the  Chaundewata  girls'  school  with  12. 
Miss  Sherman  visits  these  daily.  Regarding  the  other  schools  Miss 
Sherman  writes : 

"  At  the  village  of  Kerily  the  attendance  has  increased  from  fifteen 
in  May  to  sixty.  The  masters  there  are  doing  excellent  work,  and  I 
am  spending  about  six  hours  a  week  there  teaching  Bible  lessons, 
singing,  and  sewing.  Our  third  school  at  Pomindi  is  too  far  away  to 
admit  of  frequent  visits.  The  master  is  a  very  faithful  man,  however, 
having  himself  formerly  attended  the  Mission  High-School  here  in  Mr. 
Tedford's  time.  Beside  my  own  work  in  the  schools,  Khandoba  goes 
twice  a  week  to  each  school  to  teach  Scripture  lessons,  and  Mr.  and 
Mrs.  Hannum  pay  them  occasional  visits." 


INDIA— SANGLI.  137 

Mr.  Hannum  is  impressed  with  the  wide-open  field.  "  My  atten- 
tion has  been  forcibly  called  to  the  geographical  extension  of  the 
mission's  work  in  the  vast  Concan  section  of  our  territory.  Of  the 
many  favorable  points  for  new  stations,  Chiplun,  Rajapur,  and  Ven- 
gorla  appear  most  so.  Rajapur  is  the  only  one  of  the  three  that  I 
have  personally  visited,  but  from  all  information  I  believe  Vengorla  to 
be  the  most  advantageous  situation.  Vengorla  is  on  the  coast  about 
ninety  miles  south  of  Ratnagiri  and  accessible  in  eight  hours  by  steam- 
boat from  our  station.  It  has  a  population  of  17,100,  and  80  villages 
within  ten  miles  around  it.  Vengorla,  taken  together  with  Malvan,  20 
miles  north,  and  Sawant  Wardi,  15  miles  east,  gives  an  aggregate  popu- 
lation of  42,000.  Vengorla  is  only  20  miles  from  Portuguese  territory 
and  would  form  a  good  entrance  for  mission  work  among  the 
Goanese.  A  Goanese  gentleman  from  Sawant  Wardi,  who  was  in 
Ratnagiri  a  few  weeks  ago,  called  on  Khandoba  and  obtained  a  Bible, 
and  invited  our  preacher  to  visit  at  his  house  in  Sawant  Wardi.  It 
was  only  the  sickness  in  Khandoba's  family  that  has  prevented  us 
from  making  a  tour  to  Malvan,  Sawant  Wardi,  and  Vengorla.  I  hope 
to  accomplish  this  plan  within  the  next  few  weeks.  While  it  is  im- 
portant to  establish  outstations  along  the  road  between  Kolhapur  and 
Ratnagiri,  yet  the  larger  population  near  the  coast  seems  to  indicate 
that  extension  there  would  be  wiser.  I  hope  soon  to  see  a  native 
preacher  stationed  at  Vengorla." 

Sangli  Station. 

Mr.  Tedford,  after  a  furlough  in  America,  is  back  in  Sangli  and  at 
work  again.  He  writes  concerning  the  Sabbath-school  and  general 
work  : 

"The  attendance  at  the  Sabbath-school  was  about  12?,  and  although  the 
non-Christian  part  of  the  Sabbath  congregation  was  fluctuating,  still  we  often 
had  large  audiences,  and  I  could  see  a  decided  increase  of  attention  to  the 
preaching.  The  people  of  the  Sangli  field  are  beginning  to  know  what  Christian 
worship  in  a  Christian  church  means.  They  know  better  now  to  respect  the 
building,  the  Sabbath,  and  its  services." 

Regular  Preaching  was  kept  up  in  the  church  on  Saturday  afternoons 
at  the  weekly  market,  where  hundreds  of  people  from  the  surrounding 
country  come  to  buy  and  sell,  see  and  be  seen.  Sometimes  there 
were  large  and  very  attentive  audiences. 

One  cause  for  thanksgiving  is  the  friendly  spirit  manifested  by  the 
local  native  officials.  Recently  during  a  fierce  and  hot  persecution  on 
the  part  of  a  large  number  of  street  fanatics,  the  principal  Hindu 
officer  came  out  of  his  house,  dismissed  the  mob,  and  with  a  police 
guard  conducted  the  offending  Christians  to  the  mission  premises. 
Afterwards  the  Mohammedan  Sheriff,  unasked,  placed  disguised  police 
in  the  church  on  the  Sabbath  to  keep  order. 

The  Boys  Boarding-School,  as  last  year,  occupied  much  of  Mr. 
Tedford's  time.  "  Three  hours  daily  were  spent  there,  teaching  and 
conducting  Bible  and  devotional  exercises.  I  am  glad  to  report  a 
more  apt  and  willing  spirit  manifested  in  the  out-of-door  manual  train- 
ing, and  in  the  most  necessary  duties." 


138  INDIA — SANGLI. 

Evangelistic  Work. — "  Spending  most  of  the  hot  season  in  Ratnagiri,  I  had 
the  opportunity  of  looking  after  the  general  work  of  that  station,  and  of  assist- 
ing our  young  missionaries  there.  Accompanied  by  Mr.  Hannum,  two  very 
interesting  tours  were  made  in  that  great  isolated  wilderness  district.  I  am 
confident  some  work  was  done  by  the  preached  and  printed  word,  that  will 
be  heard  from  in  years  to  come. 

"  Govindrao  has  done  good  work  during  the  year  at  Miraj.  He  has  made  a 
great  many  friends,  and  his  general  influence  among  the  people  seems  to  have 
been  good.  Not  having  any  school,  Govindrao  has  devoted  the  greater  part 
of  his  time  to  preaching  in  Miraj,  Sangli,  and  the  surrounding  villages.  He 
has  made  159  visits  to  villages  outside  of  Miraj. 

"  Bhivaji  has  given  most  of  his  time  to  his  school  for  Mahars  and  Mangs  in 
Tasgaon.  The  attendance  has  been  very  fluctuating,  the  average  being  about 
30  ;  several  boys  have  risen  to  higher  standards.  Bhivaji  has  preached  mostly 
in  the  Mahar  Wada  to  the  people  about  his  school,  and  seems  to  have  made  a 
very  good  impression  upon  many  of  the  people.  A  number  of  persons  seem 
to  be  real  inquirers  :  included  in  these  are  several  Mohammedans. 

"  People  are  now  much  more  friendly,  which  speaks  well  for  Bhivaji's  work. 
Tasgaon  is  a  very  important  and  promising  outstation,  and  ought  to  have 
another  preacher. 

"  I  was  glad  to  have  the  opportunity  of  attending  the  First  Conference  of 
the  Y.  M.  C.  A.  of  India.  It  met  at  Madras,  the  most  Christianized  part, 
perhaps,  of  all  India.  In  seeing  and  hearing  the  delegates,  I  am  more  con- 
vinced that  the  cause  of  Jesus  has  come  to  India  to  stay.  Not  without  a 
struggle,  however — for  Satan's  seat  I  believe  is  still  in  India." 

Mrs.  Wilder  reports  as  follows  : 

"  In  looking  over  the  past  year,  although  there  have  been  trials,  yet  I  have 
met  with  much  to  encourage,  and  can  truly  say,  '  Hitherto  hath  the  Lord 
helped  us.'  My  chief  work  has  been  in  connection  with  schools.  For  a  time 
I  aided  my  daughter  in  the  Boys'  Boarding-School,  when  her  task  seemed  too 
heavy,  for  want  of  competent  teachers.  But  my  attention  has  been  given  more 
to  the  Girls'  School,  which  is  under  my  care.  This  school  was  on  February  5th 
moved  to  a  Musalman's  house  in  the  town,  and  it  has  done  better  than  last 
year.  Parents  are  beginning  to  appreciate  education  for  girls,  still  there  is 
much  prejudice  to  be  overcome.  The  Christian  woman,  Dayabai,  who 
teaches  the  school,  has  been  faithful  and  patient  in  her  work  ;  but  we  find  the 
frequent  absences  for  feast  days  and  weddings  very  trying,  and  disfavor  has 
been  shown  to  our  giving  Christian  instruction,  and  to  the  older  girls  attending 
church  services.  Some  of  the  parents  say  it  is  quite  enough  if  their  girls  are 
taught  to  read  and  write  and  some  arithmetic,  but  what  is  the  use  of  their 
girls  learning  the  Lord's  Prayer  and  Ten  Commandments  and  the  Catechism  ? 
The  children  seem  to  like  their  Christian  lessons,  especially  Bible  stories,  and 
they  like  to  come  to  the  Sabbath  service,  and  to  sing  Christian  hymns.  This 
girls'  school  has  49  names  on  the  register,  but  the  average  daily  attendance 
has  been  only  about  17.  While  it  is  a  pleasure  to  teach  these  girls  from 
heathen  homes,  yet  the  right  training  of  the  sons  of  our  native  Christians 
seems  a  much  more  hopeful  work.  We  hope  some  of  them  may  become 
preachers  and  teachers,  and  that  all  learning  industries  will  not  only  become 
self-supporting,  but  be  good  examples  of  Christian  living  to  the  heathen  around 
them. 

"  We  have  during  the  year  met  with  some  encouragement  in  our  Sunday- 
school  work,  especially  in  the  village  of  Budgav,  where  we  have  had  two 
audiences  on  Saturday  mornings  in  or  near  to  the  Government  school-rooms. 
We  have  had  a  similar  exercise  with  the  children  on  Friday  afternoons  in  the 
Mahar  Wadi  of  Sangli.  The  willingness  of  children  to  learn  Bible  verses  is  en- 
couraging. While  talking  with  a  group  of  Government  School  boys  at  Pan- 
hala,  I  began  to  repeat  the  Bible  verse,  '  God  so  loved  the  world,'  when  a 
bright  lad  said,  '  I  know  that  verse.'  He  repeated  it  so  well  that  I  inquired 
where  he  had  learned  it.  He  replied,  '  In  the  Dispensary.  I  saw  it  hanging 
there  on   the  wall   and   I   read  and  learned  it.'     Illustrated  cards  and  leaflets 


INDIA— SANGLI.  1 39 

have  been  very  useful  in  attracting  children,  and  the  children  become  a  nucleus 
for  gathering  a  crowd  who  listen  quietly  to  reading  or  to  a  preaching  service. 
In  this  work  we  have  often  had  with  us  a  native  helper  or  a  Bible-woman.  I 
feel  that  our  hope  for  India  is  largely  in  the  children. 

"  Our  church  Sunday-school  in  Sangli  has  been  one  of  the  most  interesting 
parts  of  our  work.  We  hope  these  dear  children  take  to  their  homes  and 
friends  some  of  the  truths  that  they  learn  in  our  church.  The  presence  of  the 
Girls'  School  encourages  women  to  come,  but  as  yet  the  few  who  come  cling 
to  the  doorway.  I  find  that  during  the  year  I  have  paid  2S  visits  to  villages, 
mostly  in  the  vicinity  of  Sangli,  and  some  90  visits  to  homes.  In  most  of 
these  visits  I  had  the  company  of  my  daughter.  Everywhere  we  were  welcome. 
It  may  be  sometimes  from  curiosity,  but  the  women  listen  attentively  as  we 
invite  them  to  accept  of  Christ  as  their  Saviour. 

"  We  find  most  of  the  homes  so  close,  and  so  dark,  that  we  prefer  meeting 
women  on  their  doorsteps  or  near  wells,  or  on  the  veranda  of  some  school- 
house,  or  under  a  tree,  where,  if  we  begin  to  read  or  talk  to  some  one,  a  large 
audience  soon  gathers  around  us.  We  have  met  with  some  touching  incidents, 
making  us  feel  that  these  women  are  our  sisters,  with  hearts  and  sensibilities 
of  womankind  the  world  over.  In  one  village  we  noticed  that  a  woman  who 
sat  before  us  was  weeping.  When  asked  the  reason  for  her  tears,  she  said, 
'  O  it  was  just  seeing  you  as  mother  and  daughter  together,  so  reminded  me 
of  my  own  mother  who  died  some  years  ago.'  The  story  she  told  of  her  sad 
loss  gave  us  an  opportunity  to  urge  her  to  accept  of  Christ  as  her  dearest 
Friend.  A  grandmother,  said  to  be  over  ninety  years  old,  told  us  that  she 
had  traveled  every  month  to  Pandharpur  for  25  years — this  journey  of  some 
100  miles  being  mostly  made  on  foot.  When  I  asked  her  why  she  did  not 
make  a  part  of  her  journey  by  railroad,  she  said,  '  My  god  Narayan  would  not 
be  so  well  pleased  if  I  should  ride.'  I  said  to  her,  '  But  you  are  too  aged  and 
infirm  to  go  on  foot  so  far.  The  true  God  is  kind  and  merciful  ;  what  He 
wants  of  us  is  a  true  heart-service.'  To  the  question  of  the  profit  of  all  her 
journeys,  she  replied,  '  O  what  profit !  Why  should  God  leave  me  thus  ? 
Why  are  my  grandchildren  dead  ?  Why  is  my  son  a  poor  Fakir,  and  why  am 
I  thus?'  She  said,  'The  life  of  an  aged  woman  is  very  miserable.'  When 
told  that  it  is  not  so  if  our  lives  honor  the  true  God,  she  said,  '  O  how  can  our 
lives  honor  God  ?  No,  no,  as  it  is  written  in  our  foreheads  (meaning,  as  is  our 
fate)  so  everything  comes  to  pass.'  This  woman  mentioned  Kashi  (Banares) 
and  seven  other  noted  shrines  that  she  had  visited,  but  she  added,  '  We  should 
not  speak  of  it,  He  knows.'  The  poor  creature  seemed  to  take  refuge  in  the 
thought  that  even  sin  could  not  remove  us  from  God.  She  said,  '  Our  breath 
is  from  Him,  and  though  we  wander  we  are  His.'  Very  subtle  is  Satan  in 
perverting  thought  where  he  cannot  lull  it.  The  attendance  at  our  women's 
prayer-meeting  every  Tuesday  afternoon  has  been  larger  than  last  year. 
Some  heathen  women  and  school-girls  often  attend.  Twice  our  meeting  has 
been  held  in  the  girls'  school-room  in  the  village  where  the  attendance  was 
large.  Schools  are  helpful  in  giving  us  access  and  influence  among  the  people. 
Opportunities  for  Christian  work  in  Sangli  seem  almost  unlimited  in  schools, 
among  the  sick  and  visits  to  homes." 

Miss  Wilder  reports  concerning  the  boys'  boarding-school  : 

"On  the  5th  of  June,  school  reopened  with  an  attendance  of  22,  which  in- 
creased the  following  months  to  30  and  36. 

"Two  of  these  boys  are  less  than  eight  years  old,  and  two  others  being 
employed  by  Dr.  Wanless,  do  not  attend  school  more  than  one  hour  daily. 
Twenty-three  of  the  boys  are  children  of  Christian  parents,  and  of  the  remain- 
ing thirteen,  five  have  been  baptized  on  their  profession  of  faith  in  Christ. 
One  of  these,  Tatya — a  Maratha  boy — was  an  entire  stranger  to  me.  For 
weeks  he  was  very  slow  to  learn,  then  came  a  marked  change.  Annoyed  to 
see  younger  boys  ahead  of  him,  he  took  hold  of  study  in  earnest.  During 
vacation,  while  on  the  loom  work,  he  recited  to  Amrita.  Long  after  Tatya 
had  expressed  a  desire  to  be  baptized,  he  was  kept  waiting  to  better  understand 


140  INDIA— SANGLI. 

the  heart  change  required  to  become  a  Christian.  The  week  finally  arrived 
when  he  expected  to  be  received.  That  week  a  party  of  boys  went  out  to  a 
neighboring  field,  and  annoyed  the  farmer  by  pelting  stones  at  his  hut.  Tatya 
seemed  to  especially  take  to  heart  the  reproof  for  this.  The  following  evening 
when  walking  with  me,  he  said,  '  I  think  I  should  not  be  baptized  this  Sunday.' 
When  I  asked  why,  he  referred  to  the  wrong-doing  of  the  previous  night. 

"  Of  the  boys  from  heathen  homes,  three  came  from  Herla.  Two  were  soon 
followed  by  their  fathers,  who  insisted  on  taking  them  home.  Seeing  the 
determination  of  his  father,  one  of  the  boys,  weeping  bitterly,  came  to  me  to 
intercede  for  him.  We  reasoned  and  urged,  but  the  man  insisted,  and  Dadu 
sorrowfully  left  us.  The  other  boy  disappeared.  At  night  we  learned  that  he 
had  taken  refuge  with  a  Christian  in  town.  The  father's  claims  in  this  case 
seemed  especially  strong,  as  he  is  ill  and  poor,  with  a  family  of  little  children. 
I  advised  Sawala  to  go  home,  but  finding  him  intent  on  staying,  I  finally  asked 
his  father  if  he  wished  me  to  positively  refuse  to  let  Sawala  remain.  He 
looked  thoughtful  and  soon  left. 

"  The  question  has  been  raised  as  to  whether  it  is  wise  to  take  heathen  boys 
to  live  among  our  Christian  boys.  This  year  we  have  had  reason  to  say,  May 
God  send  us  many  more  boys  from  heathen  homes  ! 

"  With  one  exception,  these  have  not  been  the  troublesome  ones,  but  have 
proved  rather  more  willing  and  faithful  in  manual  work  than  some  of  our 
Christian  boys. 

"  One  month  a  Brahmin  boy  was  a  pupil.  He  wished  to  eat  with  our  boys, 
but  we  feared  to  allow  this,  until  he  should  break  caste  for  Christ's  sake. 

"  His  regular  appearance  at  church  among  Christians  brought  down  upon 
him  ridicule  and  abuse,  and  he  found  difficulty  to  get  cooked  food.  He  still 
continued  to  come  to  me  until  one  morning,  as  I  afterward  heard,  he  was  while 
asleep  carried  to  the  station,  and  sent  by  some  Brahmin  to  Kolhapur. 

"The  little  boy  Daji,  whom  I  found  in  Wadi,  as  deserted  by  his  mother, 
returned  this  year  and  did  well  in  study.  Dr.  and  Mrs.  Wanless  had  just 
helped  to  nurse  him  through  a  severe  illness,  when  one  day,  while  I  was 
absent  from  the  bungalow,  his  mother  came  and  took  him  away.  Our  utter 
dependence  upon  God  in  the  getting  or  the  keeping  of  a  single  boy,  has  been 
proven  not  alone  in  this  case.  Since  October  vacation  seven  boys  have  not 
returned.  One  of  these  telling  me  of  his  being  persecuted  for  not  worshiping 
idols,  said  :  '  The  people  say,  if  your  food  is  refused,  you  will  do  it.  I  an- 
swered :   If  you  cut  my  throat,  I  will  not  worship  idols.' 

"  Dr.  Wanless  has  helped  in  Sunday-school  lessons,  and  Mr.  Jolly  has, 
through  an  interpreter,  given  explanation  of  a  Bible  chart.  In  daily  recitation, 
the  two  higher  classes  have  completed  a  study  of  the  life  of  Christ.  These 
lessons  have  helped  to  make  very  real  to  us  the  personality  of  Jesus. 

"  Visiting. — In  this  work  I  have  been  greatly  helped  by  Dayabai,  a  Christian 
widow.  Having  a  knowledge  of  Hindustani,  this  woman  is  welcomed  in 
Mohammedan  homes. 

"  We  both  greatly  desire  to  do  more  of  this  work,  but  not  because  we  find  a 
ready  acceptance  of  truth.  No,  the  fact  was  expressed  by  Dayabai  when 
alone  with  me  one  evening:  she  said,  '  We  tell  them  and  they  listen — what 
more  can  be  said.'     To  feel  their  need  and  call  upon  God— this  is  their  lack. 

"We  do  at  times  hear  expressions  showing  thought.  One  morning  in  the 
Fakir's  quarter,  a  listener  in  the  group  said  :  '  While  we  are  here  a  desire  for 
God  comes  into  our  hearts — then  bad  desires  return.  Will  God  take  away  the 
bad  mind  and  give  a  good  mind,  if  I  ask  Him?'  This  man  said  he  comes  to 
our  service  in  the  chapel. 

"  In  the  Chambar  Wadi,  a  man  said,  '  Sin  is  what  keeps  us  from  coming  to 
God.'  He  gave  the  story  of  a  renowned  devotee  who  was  asking  alms,  when 
the  woman  of  the  house,  in  anger,  hurled  a  shoe  at  him.  The  old  sage  quietly 
picked  up  the  shoe,  and  instead  of  taking  the  deed  as  an  insult,  he  accepted  it 
as  alms,  and  carrying  it  to  a  river-side,  began  to  wash  it.  As  the  dirt  spots 
disappeared  from  the  shoe,  all  bitter  feeling  fled  from  the  old  woman's  heart. 
As  the  washing  continued  her  heart  was  melted  to  repentance,  until  in  grief 
she  flies  to  the  old  sage.     She  confesses  her  sin,  and  promises  to  leave  home 


INDIA —  SANGLI.  141 

and  friends  to  lead  the  life  of  a  devotee.  Now  the  woman  did  this  when  her 
mind  was  cleansed.     Sin  keeps  us  from  God  ;  this  was  the  man's  thought. 

"  On  our  favorite  drive,  we  have  met  ant-feeders — Maharwadi  women.  As 
we  stepped  across  a  ploughed  field  to  speak  to  them,  one  cautioned  us  about 
our  steps.  These  women  were  carefully  searching  out  spots  where  ants  could 
be  seen.    Over  these  crevices  they  sprinkled  a  mixture  of  flour,  sugar,  and  oil. 

"  One  paused,  turned  toward  the  setting  sun,  and  clasping  her  hands  together 
at  her  forehead,  stood  in  the  attitude  of  prayer.  'This  is  great  merit,'  said 
one.     '  Who  comes  out  here  to  feed  these  creatures?' 

"  I  have  been  much  encouraged  by  the  case  of  a  merchant  from  Jamkundi. 
He  seemed  truly  concerned.  One  morning  after  reading  to  me  passages  in 
John's  Epistle  showing  the  Divinity  of  Christ,  and  the  necessity  of  believing  on 
Him,  the  man  said  :  '  It  is  done  in  my  heart ;  all  that  is  left  now  is  the  con- 
fessing it  before  my  friends.'  After  prayer,  he  said  :  'The  taking  baptism  is 
left,  but  I  will,  that  too  is  as  if  done.' " 

Medical  Work. — Dr.  Wanless  began  the  medical  work  here  in 
December,  1889.      He  writes  concerning  the  last  year  : 

"  Next  to  learning  the  language  my  time  has  been  mostly  taken  up 
with  the  medical  work.  I  have  attended  the  dispensary  almost  daily 
during  the  year  (Sabbaths  excepted),  giving  the  hours  between  nine 
and  twelve  mostly  to  this  work,  and  very  frequently,  an  hour  or  two  in 
the  afternoons,  as  I  was  required  to  perform  operations. 

"The  dispensary  at  Sangli  was  open  223  days  during  the  year ;  the 
dispensary  at  Panhala  77  days. 

"  The  total  number  of  new  patients  treated  in  both  dispensaries  was 
3,660,  and  the  total  number  of  attendances,  7,274.  Of  the  whole 
number  of  new  patients,  28  per  cent,  were  children,  72  per  cent, 
adults ;  70  per  cent,  were  males,  30  per  cent,  females.  According  to 
caste  or  religion,  4  per  cent,  were  Christians,  4  per  cent.  Brahmins,  37 
per  cent,  low-caste  Hindus,  38  per  cent,  caste  Hindus,  5  per  cent. 
Jains  and  Buddhists,  12  per  cent.  Mohammedans  ;  181  operations 
were  performed  during  the  year,  24  under  the  influence  of  cocaine  and 
12  under  chloroform;  the  rest  were  done  without  the  aid  of  an 
anaesthetic,  being  mostly  simple  operations  in  the  dispensary. 

"  In  addition  to  the  work  in  the  dispensary,  24  persons  were  treated 
as  in-patients  in  the  two  native  houses  on  the  compound  reserved  for 
operation  cases.  Owing  to  these  unsuitable  accommodations  only 
selected  cases  could  be  admitted.  Most  of  these  operations  were  on 
the  eye.  The  others  included  one  amputation  of  the  thigh  and  a  few 
operations  upon  the  face  and  upper  and  lower  extremities.  The  aver- 
age residence  with  us  per  patient  was  15^  days.  Included  in  these 
are  four  patients  treated  in  the  Panhala  Dispensary  during  our  stay 
there  in  the  hot  season. 

"A  bath-room  in  the  Sangli  bungalow  has  continued  to  serve  as  an 
operating-room  at  times,  much  to  the  annoyance  and  inconvenience 
of  the  operator  and  the  other  occupants  of  the  bungalow.  Mrs. 
Wanless  assisted  me  in  most  of  these  operations.  85  personal  visits 
were  made  by  me  to  the  homes  of  the  sick,  including  several  of  the 
highest  caste  families  in  Sangli  and  Miraj,  and  one  visit  to  the  Chief's 
palace  at  Kurandward. 

"  Four  hundred  and  one  villages  in  all  were  represented  in  the  dis- 


142  INDIA — SANGLI. 

pensary  during  the  year,  some  of  which  were  over  ioo  miles  distant,  a 
great  many  from  25  to  75  miles,  the  average  distance  being  about  15 
miles. 

"  Mr.  Wadier,  a  Parsee  gentleman  in  Bombay,  has  very  generously 
furnished  the  dispensary  gratuitously  with  all  the  empty  bottles  sold 
and  given  to  the  patients. 

"  The  preaching  in  the  dispensary  has  been  mostly  done  by  Somaji. 
Sayad  and  Goomdroo,  our  Miraj  helpers,  have  also  preached  occasion- 
ally. From  half  to  an  hour  has  been  daily  spent  in  preaching  to  and 
teaching  the  patients  previous  to  the  giving  out  of  medicines.  Since 
last  May  I  have  been  able  to  take  some  part  in  these  services,  often 
having  relieved  Somaji  altogether.  I  have  esteemed  this  a  great 
privilege  after  the  seemingly  long  months  of  patient  (?)  waiting  before 
I  was  able  to  take  any  active  part  in  the  religious  work  in  the  vernac- 
ular. "I  have  also  appreciated  the  many  opportunities  for  personal 
conversation  with  the  patients  regarding  their  spiritual  diseases. 
Somaj  and  Sayad,  my  dispensary  assistants,  have  been  faithful  in 
speaking  personally  with  the  patients,  urging  them  to  forsake  their 
idols  and  to  turn  to  Christ,  the  great  Physician  of  souls. 

"  Many  hundred  tracts  sent  gratuitously  by  Rev.  Win.  Bruce,  of  Sata- 
ra,  were  distributed  among  the  patients.  More  than  a  hundred  Gospel 
portions  were  sold  to  those  who  could  read.  Scripture  verses,  too, 
have  been  pasted  on  the  bottles  and  each  patient  was  given  a  Dis- 
pensary number  containing  a  simple  tract  and  suitable  Scripture  texts 
setting  forth  the  way  of  life.  I  am  glad  to  report  that  all  the  work  of 
the  dispensary  was  done  by  Christian  hands. 

"  As  for  visible  spiritual  results  from  the  dispensary  work  there  are 
few,  if  any.  Not  a  few  promised  to  give  up  idol  worship  and  accept 
Christ,  and  some  went  so  far  as  to  break  off  their  sacred  beads  in  our 
presence  and  hand  them  to  us  as  a  token  of  their  sincerity.  One  man 
after  hearing  the  preaching  said  that  he  had  already  forsaken  his  idols, 
but  when  we  questioned  him  regarding  the  sacred  beads  on  his  neck  he 
was  not  so  boastful.  However,  he  said  that  he  would  throw  away  his 
beads  when  he  got  home.  We  said  why  not  do  so  now.  He  replied, 
'  I  will,'  and  he  did  so,  but  we  afterward  learned  that  by  throwing  their 
beads  into  the  water — at  least  the  beads  of  this  certain  goddess,  the 
goddess  of  plagues — some  of  the  people  believe  they  gain  merit, 
hence  this  man's  readiness  to  dispose  of  his  sacred  necklace  to  our 
satisfaction. 

"Among  the  patients  treated  on  the  compound  have  been  the  most 
hopeful  cases  spiritually.  Some  of  them  seemed  to  manifest  a  deep 
interest  in  the  religion  through  which  they  were  receiving  bodily  bene- 
fit. Most  of  them  promised  to  give  up  their  idols  as  they  were  led 
to  see  the  foolishness  of  them,  but  none  had  the  courage  to  confess 
Christ  openly." 

Industrial  Work. — One  of  the  difficulties  in  Christian  work  in  India 
has  been  the  discrimination  against  native  Christians  in  employment. 
To  obviate  this  difficulty  it  was  decided  to  supply  industrial  training  to 
the  young  men  and  so  make  them  such  superior  workmen  that  their 


INDIA— MIRAJ.  I43 

services  would  be  in  demand.  In  support  of  offering  a  manual  educa- 
tion the  mission  urged — 

1  st.  Honest  trained  native  workmen  would  be  a  strong  argument  for 
Christianity. 

2d.  A  trained  Christian  artisan  would  command  higher  wages  than 
an  untrained  one,  and  by  his  honesty  will  be  likely  both  to  obtain  con- 
stant employment  and  to  command  the  respect  of  all  patrons. 

3d.  Trained  Christian  men  would  be  able  to  earn  a  livelihood  inde- 
pendent of  the  mission,  and  thus  correct  the  common  accusation  that 
they  become  Christians  in  order  to  become  supported. 

4th.  As  soon  as  the  native  Christians  become  self-supporting,  we 
may  expect  a  self  supporting  native  church. 

5th.  It  is  very  important  that  every  boy  trained  in  the  Christian 
Boys'  boarding  school  should  have  some  knowledge  of  industrial  work 
both  for  his  physical  good  while  in  the  school  and  for  his  usefulness 
after  leaving  school.  Moreover,  it  will  make  manual  labor  honorable 
among  native  Christians. 

6th.  It  will  be  the  means  of  bringing  heathen  boys  under  Christian 
instruction,  and  thus  become  a  direct  evangelizing  agency. 

Mr.  Jolly  was  sent  to  take  charge  of  such  a  course  of  training  as 
would  best  meet  the  needs. 

The  work  is  in  its  inception  now,  but  its  development  will  be 
watched  with  great  interest. 

Miraj  Station. 

For  some  time  the  mission  has  been  desiring  to  occupy  this  place 
as  a  centre,  especially  of  the  medical  work,  which  has  thus  far  been 
carried  on  at  Sangli.  Miraj  is  considered  a  most  important  position 
because  of  its  railway  connections  and  large  population.  The  railway 
runs  through  the  city,  while  at  Sangli  the  station  is  three  miles  from 
the  city.  Miraj  is  now  the  junction  of  the  Kolhapur  and  Southern 
Marathi  Railway,  and  is  on  the  main  line  of  the  latter,  which  connects 
with  railways  to  Bombay,  Madras,  and  other  important  cities  north, 
south,  and  east.  A  new  railway  is  proposed  to  Pandharapur,  the 
Hindu  Jerusalem  of  the  Bombay  Presidency,  which,  if  built,  will  give 
Miraj  railways  running  into  it  from  all  four  points  of  the  compass  ; 
and  as  a  city  it  is  destined  to  become  one  of  the  largest  in  the 
Southern  Marathi  country.  Moreover,  a  fine  site  has  been  secured. 
It  contains  nearly  ten  acres;  is  situated  on  the  border  of  the  city; 
is  a  corner  lot  where  six  streets  meet ;  is  the  highest  land  about  the 
city  ;  is  separated  from  all  other  native  compounds  and  houses,  and 
has  a  frontage  facing  the  west  from  which  the  sea  breeze  blows  with- 
out having  crossed  the  city,  and  is  within  ten  minutes'  walk  of  the 
city  bazaar.  Mr.  John  H.  Converse,  of  Philadelphia,  an  earnest 
friend  of  the  work,  has  kindly  offered  to  bear  the  expense  of  opening 
the  new  station,  and  building  and  furnishing  the  hospital.

station  occupied  in  1869;  Miss  Abbie  L.  Miller;  Rev.  Henry  T.  Selwyn  ;  native  helpers, 
3  ;  organized  churches,  3  ;  communicants,  324. 

FLANDREAU,  South  Dakota  :  on  the  Big  Sioux  River,  40  miles  north  of  Sioux  Falls  ; 
station  occupied  in  1869  ;  Rev.  John  Fast  man  ;  churches,  1  ;  communicants,  105. 

Lower  Brule  Agency,  South  Dakota  :  on  the  Missouri  River,  80  miles  above  Yank- 
ton Agency  ;  station  occupied  in  1885  ;  churches,  2  ;  communicants,  131. 

Pine  Ridge  Agency,  South  Dakota:  300  miles  west  <>f  Yankton  Agency ;  station 
occupied  in  1S86;  Rev.  John  P.  Williamson  and  wife;  Miss  Jennie  B.  Dickson,  Miss 
Charlotte  C.  McCreight ;  outstations,  3  ;  native  helpers,  3  ;  no  organized  church  ;  com- 
municants, 17. 

Poplar  Creek,  Mont.:  on  the  Missouri  River,  70  miles  west  of  Fort  Buford  ;  oc- 
cupied in  1880;  Rev.  Edwin  J.  Lindsey  and  wife  ;  outstations,  2  ;  native  helpers,  2. 

The  origin  of  the  Dakota  Mission  dates  back  to  1835,  when  Rev. 
Thomas  S.  Williamson,  M.D.,  Rev.  J.  D.  Stevens,  Elder  A.  G. 
Huggins,  with  their  wives  and  two  other  ladies,  all  under  appointment 
of  the  A.  B.  C.  F.  M.,  entered  Minnesota,  and  commenced  laboring 
for  the  Dakotas  then  living  in  that  State.  In  the  57  years  since  past, 
there  have  always  been  from  2  to  6  ordained  missionaries  carrying  on 
the  work  then  begun  ;  1  7  ministers  have  spent  one  or  more  years  in 
this  field,  unitedly  making  about  250  years'  labor,  of  which  90  years 
were  expended  by  Rev.  Thomas  S.  Williamson  and  Dr.  Stephen  R. 
Riggs.  In  their  work  they  have  been  supported  by  a  large  number  of 
assistant  missionaries,  and  latterly  by  a  still  larger  force  of  native 
preachers  and  helpers. 

As  the  direct  outgrowth  of  the  Dakota  Mission  planted  in  Minne- 
sota in  1835,  we  now  have  three  Dakota  Missions,  with  their  work 
now  located  principally  in  South  Dakota.  They  are  :  The  Dakota 
Mission  of  the  Presbyterian  Board  of  Foreign  Missions;  the  Dakota 
Mission  of  the  Presbyterian  Board  of  Home  Missions  ;  and  the  Da- 
kota Mission  of  the  American  Missionary  Association.  We  might  add 
the  Mission  of  the  Dakota  Native  Missionary  Society,  but  will  include 
its  work  in  the  several  missions.  Now  in  order  that  we  may  thank 
the  Lord  and  take  courage  in  our  missionary  work,  we  present  the 
following  figures,  which  show  the  present  condition  of  these  three  mis- 
sions in  the  church  line  :

146  INDIANS— FLANDREAU,    YANKTON   AGENCY. 

The  mission  of  the  Foreign  Board  has  been  weakened  the  past  year 
by  the  departure  of  Rev.  C.  G.  Sterling  from  Pine  Ridge,  and  the  Board's 
inability  to  find  a  man  to  fill  his  place.  This  leaves  in  our  mission  only 
two  ordained  missionaries,  Rev.  John  P.  Williamson  and  Rev.  Edwin  J. 
Lindsey.  The  assistant  missionaries,  besides  the  wives  of  the  mis- 
sionaries, are  the  same  as  last  year  :  Miss  Dickson,  Miss  McCreight, 
and  Miss  Miller.  Miss  Agnes  Pond  has  also  been  employed  part  of 
the  year  to  assist  Miss  Miller.  The  following  review  will  show  some- 
thing of  the  work  at  each  station. 

Flandreau. 

The  Indians  at  Flandreau  have  been  longer  under  missionary  in- 
fluence than  those  of  any  other  station  under  our  Foreign  Board.  The 
most  of  the  Indians  with  whom  our  missionaries  first  labored  in  Min- 
nesota are  now  at  the  stations  occupied  by  the  Home  Board.  The 
Flandreau  Indians,  however,  are  among  those  who  received  faithful 
instruction  from  the  missionaries  40  and  50  years  ago  in  Minnesota. 
Many  of  them  were  converted  in  Davenport  prison,  or  at  Camp  Fort 
Thompson,  30  years  ago.  They  made  the  settlement  at  Flandreau  23 
years  ago,  and  immediately  secured  a  church  organization,  which  was 
afterwards  incorporated  ;  and  the  house  of  worship  which  they  now 
occupy,  with  the  lot  upon  which  it  stands,  is  secured  to  the  church  by 
deed,  the  only  instance  of  the  kind  among  the  Dakota  Indians.  The 
house  has,  however,  become  too  strait  for  them,  and  they  have  com- 
menced raising  funds  to  build  a  new  temple.  There  are  105  com- 
municants now  on  the  roll.  Their  present  pastor,  Rev.  John  East- 
man, is  himself  a  Flandreau  Indian,  and  has  been  pastor  16  years. 
He  stands  at  the  head  of  the  community  in  civilization  as  well  as 
Christianity,  and  under  his  leadership  they  are  rapidly  attaining  a  re- 
spectable position  among  their  white  neighbors  and  fellow-citizens. 
They  are  emphatically  a  church  going  community.  The  contributions 
of  the  church  the  past  year  were  $429,  a  little  over  $4.00  a  member. 

Yankton  Agency. 

Presbyterians  were  the  first  denomination  to  preach  the  Gospel  to 
the  Yankton  Sioux,  who  have  inhabited  southeastern  Dakota  since 
the  country  was  first  visited  by  the  whites.  Mr.  H.  D.  Cunningham, 
a  Presbyterian  elder,  under  appointment  of  the  A.  B.  C.  F.  M.,  spent 
several  months  with  the  Yanktons  in  1865  and  1866.  And  in  1869 
the  station  at  Yankton  Agency  was  permanently  occupied  by  Rev. 
John  P.  Williamson,  and  the  work  among  the  Yanktons  has  been 
under  his  charge  ever  since.  The  Yankton  Agency  church  was  or- 
ganized in  March,  1871,  with  18  members.  In  1877  a  colony  went  out 
and  formed  Hill  church  (n  miles  east)  with  27  members.  In  1887 
a  second  colony  went  out  and  formed  Cedar  church  (14  miles  west) 
with  23  members.  These  three  churches  now  have  a  total  member- 
ship of  324,  of  which  the  Agency  church  has  179,  Hill  church  108,  and 
Cedar  church  37.  Of  these  members  28  were  added  the  past  year. 
Henry  Tawanapin  Selwyn,  one  of  the  first  converts  among  the  Yank- 
tons, studied  theology  with  Mr.  Williamson,  and  was  ordained  in  1879, 


INDIANS— LOWER   BRULE   AGENCY.  147 

and  has  been  the  faithful  assistant  of  Mr.  Williamson  in  the  care  of 
these  churches  ever  since.  This  winter,  in  the  absence  of  Mr.  Will- 
iamson, he  has  had  sole  charge  of  the  pastoral  work  among  the  Yank- 
tons.  Each  of  the  churches  has  a  strong  body  of  elders,  who  assist  the 
pastor,  and  keep  up  all  the  regular  services  in  the  absence  of  a  min- 
ister. The  regular  services  in  these  churches  are  :  two  meetings 
every  Sabbath  and  Sabbath-school,  a  weekly  prayer-meeting.  Also 
the  Women's  and  the  Young  Men's  Christian  Association  have  weekly 
meetings.  The  Women's  Society  has  been  especially  active  the  past 
year.  The  total  contributions  of  the  three  churches  the  past  year  were 
$675,  or  about  two  dollars  per  member. 

A  good  deal  of  educational  work  has  been  done  by  the  mission 
among  the  Yanktons.  When  the  station  was  first  occupied  there 
was  no  school  of  any  kind.  Among  2,000  Indians  there  was  not 
one  who  could  read  English,  and  only  two  were  found  who  could 
spell  out  slowly  their  own  language.  Mr.  Williamson  immediately 
started  a  day-school,  which  has  been  kept  up  ever  since.  Also  two 
or  three  native  teachers  have  been  employed  at  the  camps  during 
the  winter  season  much  of  the  time.  Now  the  majority  of  the 
tribe  under  40  can  read  their  own  language,  and  over  two  hundred 
the  English.  The  greater  part  of  those  who  read  Dakota  have 
learned  in  our  schools.  For  their  education  in  English  a  large 
Government  boarding-school  has  latterly  been  built,  also  an  Epis- 
copal boarding-school  for  boys,  and  very  many  are  now  sent  away 
to  boarding-schools.  Owing  to  these  other  schools  our  day-schools 
are  not  so  largely  attended  as  formerly.  Miss  Miller,  however,  has 
an  interesting  school  at  the  Agency,  with  an  average  attendance  of 
about  16,  which  is  an  important  auxiliary  to  the  church. 

Lower  Brule  Agency. 

This  station  is  about  80  miles  above  Yankton  Agency.  The 
Lower  Brule  Indians  have  been  occasionally  visited  by  our  mis- 
sionaries since  1869,  but  the  station  was  not  occupied  by  us  till 
1885.  A  Presbyterian  church  was  organized  in  1887  with  25 
members.  It  was  called  White  River  church.  In  1891  a  colony 
from  this  church  was  organized  as  Red  Hills  church  (15  miles  west 
of  White  River  church)  with  31  members.  The  two  churches  now 
number  131  members.  Rev.  Joseph  Rogers,  a  native  preacher 
from  Flandreau,  has  been  the  principal  laborer  here,  and  is  still 
pushing  on.  Rev.  Henry  Selwyn,  Rev.  John  Eastman  and  elder 
Peter  Iynduze  each  labored  for  a  short  time  previously,  and  the 
work  has  since  its  initiation  been  under  the  care  of  Rev.  Mr. 
Williamson.  The  embarrassment  of  the  work  at  this  station  from 
the  beginning  has  been  the  uncertain  location  of  the  Indians. 
There  has  been  an  expectation  that  the  Indians  would  be  removed 
in  a  few  months  to  some  new  location  ever  since  mission  work  was 
begun,  and  the  expectation  still  remains.  In  fact,  a  bill  for  their 
relocation  is  now  before  Congress,  and  it  is  hoped  it  will  pass  this 
session.    On  account  of  this  uncertainty  no  suitable  place  of  worship 


I48  INDIANS — PINE    RIDGE   AGENCY. 

has  been  erected.  So  the  worshippers  have  met  in  private  houses, 
temporary  shanties,  and  last  summer  in  a  booth  erected  for  the 
purpose,  as  no  house  would  hold  them.  In  past  years  the  Lower 
Brules  have  been  feared  as  one  of  the  fiercest  of  the  Sioux  bands. 
They  are  certainly  active  and  impulsive,  and  if  their  powers  are 
fully  consecrated,  will  become  valuable  soldiers  of  Christ. 

Pine  Ridge  Agency' 

This  station  is  in  the  southwest  corner  of  South  Dakota,  nearly 
south  of  the  Black  Hills,  which  are  visible  from  the  surrounding 
ridges.  This  place  was  the  centre  of  the  last  winter's  Indian 
troubles.  The  effects  are  still  visible,  not  only  in  the  numerous 
earthworks,  but  also  in  the  deadness  of  the  people  to  spiritual 
things.  Our  mission  here  dates  back  to  1886,  when  Rev.  Charles 
G.  Sterling  was  appointed  to  this  field.  He  located  at  the  Agency, 
and  afterwards  opened  outstations  successively  at  Porcupine,  While 
Clay,  Wounded  Knee,  and  the  Cheyenne  Camp.  Mr.  Sterling  left 
the  field  about  a  year  ago.  Owing  to  the  inability  to  secure  a  new 
missionary  it  was  thought  best  for  Mr.  Williamson  to  remove  here 
for  a  time  at  least,  and  he  came  over  in  November,  and  he  has  since 
occupied  the  station  at  the  Agency,  and  visited  the  outstations  as 
he  was  able.  The  church  work  among  these  Indians  is  not  en- 
couraging at  present.  The  effect  of  the  disturbances  has  been  to 
engross  their  minds  with  other  thoughts,  and  draw  them  away  from 
religion.  But  here  are  5,000  souls  for  whom  Christ  eame  to  earth, 
and  we  must  not  give  them  over  to  delusion. 

At  the  Agency  station  the  church  had  been  closed  most  of  the 
summer.  Mr.  Williamson  immediately  commenced  regular  services  : 
two  Indian  services  and  one  English,  besides  Sabbath-school  and  a 
Thursday  evening  lecture  in  Indian.  Also  an  address  to  the  children 
at  the  Government  boarding-school  on  Tuesday  evening.  The  av- 
erage attendance  at  all  the  Indian  meetings  has  been  15,  and  at  the 
English  meeting  22.  The  Sabbath-school  has  averaged  25.  One 
Indian  family  has  made  public  profession  and  been  baptized — 
Captain  Thunder  Bear  and  wife  and  four  children.  This  man  is 
only  here  temporarily  as  captain  of  the  Agency  police.  He  lives 
15  miles  away.  The  great  difficulty  in  work  for  permanent  results 
at  this  Agency  station  is  that  there  is  no  permanent  population  to 
work  upon.  The  Agency  policy  here  is  to  have  all  the  Indians 
locate  at  a  distance  from  the  Agency.  So,  although  there  may  be 
an  average  of  300  Indians  living  within  a  mile  of  the  church,  they 
are  either  workmen,  only  temporarily  here,  or  vagabonds.  This 
state  of  affairs  increases  the  importance  of  the  work  at  the  out- 
stations. 

Porcupine  is  the  most  hopeful  outstation  we  have  here.  It  was 
opened  by  Miss  Dickson  and  Miss  McCreight  in  1888,  and  they 
have  labored  faithfully  and  without  intermission  ever  since,  hence 
the  success.  They  have  a  congregation  of  20  or  30  regular  church- 
goers, which  cannot  be  said  of  any  other  station  on  this  reservation. 


INDIANS — POPLAR    CREEK.  I49 

Three  have  made  a  profession  during  the  past  year,  making  eight 
who  have  publicly  taken  Christian  vows  at  Porcupine. 

At  Wounded  Knee  outstation  Edward  H.  Weston,  a  helper  from 
Flandreau,  has  with  his  wife  labored  faithfully  since  last  October. 
He  has  both  taught  school  and  held  services.  There  are  only  two 
or  three  families  who  can  be  relied  upon  to  attend.  For  a  few 
weeks  the  school  and  meetings  were  crowded,  then  they  became 
engaged  in  dances  and  other  things,  and  nearly  all  dropped  off. 

At  White  Clay  station  no  regular  work  has  been  done  since  the 
disturbance  of  last  year.  The  place  is  25  miles  north  of  the  Agency, 
on  the  road  to  the  Bad  Lands,  where  the  hostiles  were  located. 
Rev.  Louis  Mazawakinyama,  our  native  helper  there,  was  compelled 
to  leave,  and  afterwards  returned  to  his  home  at  Sisseton  Agency. 
The  mission  buildings  were  all  burned.  A  number  of  the  attendants 
have  moved  elsewhere,  and  some  doubtless  had  their  hearts  turned. 
Mr.  Williamson  has  lately  visited  the  place,  and  finds  a  number 
desirous  of  having  mission  work  renewed,  and  the  Mission  is 
desirous  of  doing  so  as  soon  as  arrangements  ean  be  made  for  a 
helper  and  a  house. 

The  outstation  a't  Cheyenne  Camp,  in  the  neighborhood  of  White 
Clay,  has  also  been  virtually  abandoned,  no  work  being  done.  The 
Cheyenne  Indians,  among  whom  the  station  was  established,  have 
been  removed  to  Montana.  A  little  log-cabin,  for  which  Mr. 
Sterling  paid  $20,  is  all  that  remains  on  the  ground.  About  a 
dozen  families  of  Cheyennes  remain  on  this  reservation,  but  are 
scattered. 

No  church  has  been  organized  on  the  Pine  Ridge  field  as  yet. 
There  are  about  17  who  have  made  public  profession,  but  they  are 
scattered  for  50  miles,  and  the  love  of  some  has  waxed  cold.  The 
best  nucleus  is  at  Porcupine,  where  it  is  hoped  a  church  may  be 
regularly  organized  before  a  great  while. 

Poplar  Creek. 

This  station,  among  the  Dakotas  in  Montana,  was  first  occupied 
by  Rev.  George  W.  Wood,  Jr.,  in  1880,  who  remained  there  until 
1890.  It  has  been  occupied  now  for  two  years  by  Rev.  Edwin  J. 
Lindsey  and  wife.  At  one  time  Rev.  Mr.  Wood  occupied  Wolf 
Point  (25  miles  west  of  Poplar  Creek),  and  Rev.  M.  E.  Chapin, 
Poplar  Creek,  and  each  was  considered  a  station.  Now  Wolf 
Point  is  occupied  by  a  native  helper  under  Mr.  Lindsey,  and  the 
field  being  one  it  is  only  an  outstation  to  Poplar  Creek.  Another 
outstation  is  Deer  Tail  (6  miles  east). 

In  previous  years  the  work  at  this  station  has  been  hindered  by 
various  causes.  One  principal  embarrassment  was  the  movable 
state  of  the  Indians.  This  now  has  passed  by,  and  the  Indians  are 
fairly  in  a  settled  state.  Another  obstacle  has  been  the  evil 
influences  of  the  surrounding  white  population.  This  has  some- 
what abated,  but  not  entirely.  There  is  probably  more  drinking 
by  these  Indians  than   by  any  other  Sioux,  and  apparently  little

effort  by  Government  officials  to  put  a  stop  to  the  traffic  in  whiskey. 
The  Indian  dances,  as  elsewhere,  are  a  continual  hindrance.  Yet 
the  work  of  the  mission  has  been  carried  on  faithfully,  and  a  regular 
attendance  on  worship  is  being  secured.  And  especially  at  Deer  Tail 
the  work  promises  speedy  results  in  a  turning  to  the  Lord.

Established  1838.  Kamiah,  Idaho  :  Miss  Sue  L.  McBeth  ;  temporarily  at  Mount  Idaho. 

Lapwai  :  Miss  Kate  C.  McBeth. 

Native  ministers :  Rev.  Robert  Williams,  Kamiah  /  Rev.  James  Hays,  Umatilla  ; 
Rev.  Peter  Lindsley,  Lapwai ;  and  Rev.  Enoch  Pond,  Meadow  Creek.  Evangelist,  Rev. 
James  Hines.  Licentiates,  Robert  Parsons,  Moses  Montieth,  and  Caleb  McAfee, 
Kamiah. 

The  work  among  the  Nez  Perces  during  the  past  year  has  grown  in 
the  confidence  of  its  friends  and  supporters. 

The  Women's  Board  of  the  North  Pacific  have  become  especially 
interested  in  the  work  of  the  Misses  McBeth,  and,  considering  that 
there  is  always  more  or  less  local  prejudice  against  Indians  on  the 
part  of  citizens,  the  new  interest  and  effort  thus  awakened  may  be 
expected  to  bring  a  wholesome  leaven  into  all  the  churches  of  Idaho, 
Washington,  and  Oregon. 

An  auspicious  fact  connected  with  the  work  done  among  the  Nez 
Perces,  especially  at  Fort  Lapwai,  is  the  thorough  establishment  and 
improved  management  of  the  Government  School  under  the  influence 
of  the  present  agent  and  those  who  are  called  to  give  instruction. 
The  school  is  very  large  (150  pupils),  and  is  thoroughly  organized. 

As  in  former  years,  Miss  Sue  L.  McBeth  has  continued  her  work  of 
theological  education  at  Mount  Idaho.  Her  instruction  is  given  en- 
tirely in  the  vernacular,  and  those  who  have  been  trained  under  her 
care  are  placed  by  the  Presbytery  over  the  small  Indian  congregations 
throughout  the  reservation. 

There  has  been  no  marked  success  during  the  year.  But  21  per- 
sons have  been  added  to  the  churches,  leaving  a  present  membership

of  796.*  The  churches  with  which  these  native  Christians  are  con- 
nected are  eight  in  number;  Kamiah  (two  churches).  Lapwai,  Spo- 
kane River,  Umatilla,  Wellpinit,  North  Foik,  and  Meadow  Creek. 
There  are  7  young  men  studying  for  the  ministry  under  the  care  of 
Miss  S.  L.  McBeth.  The  number  of  pupils  in  Sabbath-schools  is  377. 
These  people  are  by  no  means  wholly  dependent  on  the  Board  for  the 
support  of  their  Christian  work,  as  the  report  shows  total  contribu- 
tions of  $466.  Of  this  amount  $50  was  raised  by  the  Lapwai 
Women's  Missionary  Society  for  repairs  on  the  church.  Two  of  the 
native  pastors,  namely,  Revs.  Robert  Williams  and  James  Hays, 
and  three  licentiates,  Robert  Parsons,  Moses  Montieth,  and  Caleb 
McAtee,  are  supported  by  the  Women's  Board  of  Northern  New 
York,  the  others  by  the  Assembly's  Board.  Miss  S.  L.  McBeth  at 
Mount  Idaho  has  been  assisted  by  Mrs.  C.  Shearer. 

Miss  K.  C.  McBeth  has  devoted  her  time  to  house  visitation,  Sun- 
day-school instruction,  etc.  As  no  man  has  been  employed  by  the 
Board  at  either  of  these  stations,  the  labors  and  influence  of  these  two 
sisters  has  been  the  sole  reliance  for  religious  instruction,  encourage- 
ment, restraint,  and  general  edification  to  the  people  of  Kamiah,  Lap- 
wai, and  adjacent  outstations.  The  time  may  come  at  an  early  day 
when,  with  the  division  of  land  in  severalty  and  the  sale  of  portions 
to  white  settlers,  the  opportunities  for  doing  good  to  the  Nez  Perces 
will  be  greatly  embarrassed  and  restricted  ;  but  while  the  opportuni- 
ties of  the  present  continue,  the  prayer  and  sympathy  and  generous 
support  of  the  Church  should  be  given  to  this  good  work.

Seneca  Mission.

The  Seneca  Mission  has  been  more  thoroughly  organized  during 
the  past  year  than  ever  before,  and  it  is  now  in  a  very  harmonious 
condition.     The  work  of  Mr.  and  Mrs.  J.  H.  Van  Valkenburg,  who 


152  INDIANS — SENECAS. 

for  several  years  have  superintended  the  Thomas  Orphan  Asylum,  has 
been  terminated.  They  have  had  under  their  care  about  one  hundred 
Indian  youth,  who  constituted  the  main  body  of  the  Sunday-school  on 
the  Cattaraugus  Reservation.  The  instruction  and  influence  of  Mrs. 
Van  Valkenburg  have  been  most  satisfactory.  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Hooker 
have  been  appointed  to  take  charge  of  the  institution.  There  is  rea- 
son to  believe  that  the  new  auspices  under  which  the  Asylum  will  be 
conducted  will  still  be  favorable  to  the  exertion  of  religious  influence. 

The  Alleghany  Reservation. 

Mr.  Trippe's  work  on  the  Alleghany  and  Tuscarora  Reservations, 
together  with  an  oversight  of  the  Tonawanda  Reservation,  has  been 
carried  on  with  the  same  regularity  as  in  the  past ;  and  although  his 
report  does  not  speak  of  any  great  ingatherings  or  marked  results  of 
any  kind,  yet  it  shows  that  faithful  work  has  been  done,  and  that  a 
general  influence  for  good  has  been  kept  alive  over  his  widely-extended 
field.  The  self-denying  labor  of  traveling  among  the  Indians,  and 
living  much  of  the  time  upon  their  low  grade  of  life  as  to  food  and 
lodging,  has  been  cheerfully  met  by  Mr.  Trippe,  and  to  some  extent 
his  wife  has  rendered  faithful  service  among  the  women. 

Noticeable  in  the  continued  history  of  the  Seneca  Mission  is  the 
persevering  labor  of  Rev.  William  Hall,  who  has  labored  most  of  the 
time  among  the  Seneca  Indians  since  the  year  1834,  or  about  fifty- 
eight  years.  The  recent  report  says  that  Mr.  Hall  has  preached  almost 
every  Sabbath  at  Jamiesontown. 

The  Indians  have  been  more  or  less  disturbed  in  feeling  during  the 
last  year,  as  heretofore,  by  the  political  operations  of  men  anxious  to 
get  possession  of  their  land,  especially  about  Salamanca  ;  nevertheless 
they  have  given  good  attention,  as  a  rule,  to  the  preaching  of  the 
Word.  The  corner-stone  of  a  new  church  was  laid  at  Onoville  during 
the  year,  and  the  people  are  showing  a  good  deal  of  zeal  in  the  erec- 
tion of  their  church.  At  Cold  Spring,  a  centre  of  pagan  influence, 
regular  services  have  been  sustained  every  Sabbath  by  the  Christian 
Indians  from  neighboring  villages.  Meetings  have  been  held  at  Horse 
Shoe,  a  destitute  village,  between  Cattaraugus  and  Salamanca,  where 
one  family  has  been  received  into  the  church. 

Cattaraugus  Reservation. 

Mr.  Runciman  has  held  three  services  on  almost  every  Sabbath,  and 
spent  much  time  in  house-to-house  visitation.  The  church  is  more 
united  than  it  has  been  for  many  years.  The  sewing  society  has  con- 
tinued in  a  flourishing  condition.  Two  services  on  each  Sabbath  of 
the  year  have  been  maintained  at  what  is  known  as  "  No.  1  School- 
House,"  and  they  have  been  often  of  the  deepest  interest.  At  a  little 
outstation,  known  as  Pine  Woods,  services  have  been  held  during  the 
year,  and  thirteen  persons  have  taken  a  stand  for  Christ.  This  station 
suffers  from  its  nearness  to  Gowanda,  where,  between  intoxicating 
spirits  and  a  low  state  of  morals,  a  baneful  influence  extends  to  the 
Indians.  At  New  Town,  another  little  settlement,  services  have  often 
been  attended  by  sixty  persons,  not  one  of  whom   was  a   Christian.

Yet  these  people,  who  probably  would  call  themselves  pagan,  have 
taken  part  in  the  singing,  and  have  shown  an  evident  understanding 
of  the  truth.  Regular  services  have  been  held  at  Cornplanter  Reser- 
vation during  the  year,  with  no  very  manifest  results,  but  at  the  same 
time  a  regular  attendance  and  a  degree  of  interest. 

Tonaxuanda  and  Tuscarora. 

The  church  at  Tonawanda  is  in  a  prosperous  condition.  Services 
have  been  held  every  Sabbath  during  the  year,  and  a  mid-week  prayer- 
meeting,  both  well  attended.  The  ladies'  sewing  society  has  raised 
about  $50  for  repairs  on  the  church.  Rev.  John  McMasters  has 
been  employed  to  preach  to  these  people  on  two  Sabbaths  of  each 
month.  At  Tuscarora  the  church  has  been  greatly  blessed.  For 
months  the  congregation  has  shown  a  growing  interest  and  a  tender 
spirit.  A  prayer-meeting  has  been  held  every  week.  The  people  are 
determined  to  build  a  new  chapel  at  an  early  day. 

The  mission  expresses  its  gratitude  to  Mr.  Samuel  B.  Schieffelin,  of 
New  York  City,  for  his  gift  of  valuable  hymn-books  and  other  books 
in  the  English  language  :  also  to  Capt.  R.  H.  Pratt,  superintendent  of 
the  Indian  School  at  Carlisle,  for  his  kindness  in  assuming  the  support 
and  oversight  of  twenty  Indian  children  of  the  Seneca  tribes;  also  to 
Miss  Clara  F.  Guernsey,  of  Rochester,  for  her  interest  in  the  mission 
work ;  and  last,  but  not  least,  to  Rev.  W.  S.  Hubbell,  D.D.,  of  Buffalo, 
for  his  untiring  interest  and  effort  in  behalf  of  the  rights  of  the  Seneca 
Indians.

Mission  work  in  Japan  continues  to  feel  the  reaction  against  foreign 
influence  which  set  in  a  year  or  two  since.  The  consensus  of  opinion 
in  mission  circles,  however,  is  that  a  better  day  has  dawned,  and  that 
the  pendulum  is  swinging  back  toward  the  point  from  which  the  de- 
cadence began.  Even  in  the  Capital,  where  the  hostility  has  been 
most  intense,  it  is  believed  that  the  anti-Christian  feeling  has  almost  dis- 
appeared, while  the  anti-foreign  feeling  has  sensibly  abated.  Away  from 
Tokyo,  where  neither  the  anti-Christian  nor  anti-foreign  influence  was 
so  keenly  felt,  the  improvement  within  the  past  year  has  been  marked. 
The  only  exception  noted  is  along  the  west  coast  where  Buddhism 
still  retains  a  firm  hold  upon  the  people,  and  where  antagonism  seems 
for  the  time  to  be  increasingly  bitter.  It  is  recorded  also  with  grati- 
tude that  the  progress  of  rationalism,  so  disturbing  during  the  past  few 
years,  has  met  with  a  decided  check,  while  the  discussions  which  it 
forced  upon  the  Church  in  Japan  have  brought  to  public  notice  the 
essential  truths  of  Christianity  as  never  before.  The  tone  of  mission 
letters  and  reports  is  decidedly  more  encouraging,  and  the  general 
opinion  is  that  the  outlook  is  growing  steadily  brighter.  The  last  re- 
port of  ''  The  Council  of  Missions,  co-operating  with  the  Church  of 
Christ  in  Japan,"  which  includes  our  own  missions  in  that  Empire,  has 
the  following : 

"  There  have  been  discouragements.  General  apathy  has  in  various  places 
turned  to  quiet  but  determined  opposition.  In  some  cases  the  opposition  has 
been  outspoken  and  even  violent.  Scholars  have  been  forbidden  to  attend 
school.  Preaching  has  been  interrupted  by  Buddhist  priests  and  rude  stu- 
dents. Noisy  crowds  have  interfered  night  after  night.  The  confession  of 
Christ  has  been  at  the  price  of  daily  bread. 

"  But  there  has  been  much  also  to  encourage.  From  many  places  the  reports 
are  full  of  cheering  news.  The  gospel  has  been  preached  in  regions  where  it 
had  been  known  only  in  name.  Opportunities  open  in  almost  every  direction  ; 
and  workers  are  pressed  to  the  utmost  limits  of  their  ability.  In  the  principal 
town  of  one  prefecture  public  sentiment  a  few  years  ago  was  firmly  set  against 
Christianity  ;  now  all  this  is  changed.  There  are  places  where  there  is  a  re- 
spect, even  a  reverence  felt  for  Christianity.  Churches  have  been  organized  ; 
chapels  dedicated  ;  congregations  become  self-supporting  ;  and  old  church 
quarrels  healed." 


156  EAST   JAPAN— YOKOHAMA. 

The  meeting  of  the  Synod  last  November  was  marked  by  a  devout 
spirit,  harmonious  co-operation,  and  an  aggressive  missionary  purpose. 

Educational. 

Perhaps  the  most  notable  event  in  connection  with  this  department 
of  work  during  the  past  year  is  the  resignation  of  Dr.  Hepburn  as 
President  of  the  Meiji  Gaku-in,  and  the  inauguration  of  Rev.  K.  Ibuka 
as  his  successor.  The  inauguration  took  place  in  the  presence  of  the 
Synod.  In  handing  over  the  office  to  his  successor  Dr.  Hepburn,  the 
venerable  pioneer  of  mission  work  in  Japan,  spoke  as  follows  : 

"  In  taking  this  step  we  are  aware  that  it  is  one  of  peculiar  interest  in  the 
history  of  this  Institution,  as  well  as  a  radical  departure  from  old  lines.  From 
a  very  small  beginning  as  an  elementary  day-school  in  Yokohama,  for  teach- 
ing English  only,  it  has  passed  through  various  changes  and  stages  of  progress, 
in  accordance  with  the  need  of  more  enlarged  work,  until  it  has  grown  to  its 
present  proportions  of  a  well-equipped  High  School  or  College.  It  has  been 
from  the  first,  and  until  recently  necessarily,  for  the  most  part  under  foreign 
management  and  instruction.  But  it  is  now  thought  that  the  time  has  come 
when  the  Institution  may  be  to  a  greater  extent  under  the  management  and 
instruction  of  educated  and  competent  Japanese. 

"This,  it  is  believed,  is  a  step  in  the  right  direction,  one  that  will  enhance 
its  influence  among  the  Japanese  people,  and  promote  its  usefulness.  It  is  also 
a  step  towards  the  goal  which  foreign  teachers  have  ever  aimed  at,  and  hoped 
to  reach  in  their  work — that  of  preparing  the  Japanese  Christians  to  take  over, 
and  carry  on  the  great  work  of  evangelizing  the  nation,  for  which  we  for- 
eigners have  come  to  this  country  ;  to  the  time,  indeed,  when  there  will  be  no 
further  need  of  foreign  aid  of  any  kind.  This,  from  the  present  outlook,  and 
judging  from  the  past  history  of  Christian  work  in  this  country  and  from  the 
disposition  of  the  Japanese  people,  we  have  every  reason  to  expect  will  be  at 
no  distant  day." 

In  responding,  after  a  touching  tribute  to  Dr.  Hepburn,  and  refer- 
ence to  the  present  condition  of  Japan,  Mr.  Ibuka  insisted  on  three 
points  as  essential  to  a  thorough-going  education.  These  have  been 
condensed  as  follows  : 

"  (1).  The  end  of  education  is  not  mere  material  gain.  This  is  an  idea  prev- 
alent in  Japan  to-day.  Parents  send  their  sons  to  school  simply  that  they  may 
increase  their  commercial  value.  They  invest  in  education  as  they  invest  in 
real  estate.  That  certainly  is  not  the  true  end  of  education.  The  true  end  of 
education  is  the  making  of  men.  (2).  Education  should  be  thorough  ;  what- 
ever the  special  line  followed  may  be,  the  work  done  should  be  done  thor- 
oughly. Precisely  this  is  the  distinguishing  mark  of  the  modern  scientific 
method.  (3).  Education  must  be  ethical.  The  question  then  arises,  What 
ethics  shall  be  inculcated?  Confucian  ethics?  or  Christian  ethics?  It  is  not  to 
be  denied  that  there  is  an  ethical  element  in  Confucianism.  Confucianism 
teaches  righteousness  and  love.  But  Christianity  does  more  than  that.  It 
teaches  what  is  the  true  fountain  of  righteousness  and  of  love — that  they  are  in 
God.  To  love  the  Lord  thy  God  with  all  thy  heart  and  all  thy  strength,  and 
thy  neighbor  as  thyself.  That  is  Christian  ethics.  That  is  the  moral  founda- 
tion of  a  true  education — the  ethics  which  are  taught  in  the  Scriptures  and  ex- 
emplified in  Jesus  Christ." 

The  investing  of  a  Japanese  with  such  important  responsibility  is  in 
the  line  of  what  has  been  already  done  by  some  of  the  large  mission 
Boards  operating  in  Japan,  notably  the  American  Board,  whose  col- 
lege (Doshisha)  at  Kyoto  attained  such  wonderful  celebrity  under  Mr. 


EAST  JAPAN — TOKYO.  157 

Neesima.  The  same  is  true  of  the  Theological  School  of  the  Re- 
formed Church  at  Nagasaki,  which  is  presided  over  by  a  Japanese. 

In  the  Theological  Department,  forty-three  students  were  enrolled. 
The  past  year  is  regarded  as  the  best  in  all  the  history  of  the  institu- 
tion. "  Work  has  been  larger  in  quantity,  better  in  quality,  and  per- 
formed in  an  excellent  spirit."  Many  of  the  students  have  been  en- 
gaged in  Sunday-schools,  preaching  services,  and  prayer-meetings  in 
various  parts  of  the  city. 

The  number  in  the  Academic  Department  is  seventy-seven,  of 
whom  forty-four  are  Christians.  Twenty-one  young  men  were  grad- 
uated, the  largest  number  in  any  one  year.  "The  Bible  is  faithfully 
taught  to  all  the  classes  for  thirty  minutes  every  morning,  and  almost 
without  exception  the  students  have  been  faithful  and  earnest  in  its 
study." 

Of  the  Joshi  Gaku-in,  our  girls'  seminary  in  Tokyo,  the  ladies  in 
charge  furnish  the  following  facts  :  "The  past  year  has  been  a  pros- 
perous one  at  the  Joshi  Gaku-in}  if  we  consider  the  quality  of  the  work 
done  by  the  pupils,  but  the  numbers  have  been  not  as  large  as  could 
have  been  desired.  The  number  of  pupils  at  the  opening  of  the 
school  year  in  September  was  one  hundred  and  eight.  Last  May  the 
new  and  commodious  chapel  was  finished  and  our  first  commence- 
ment was  held  in  June.  In  the  graduating  class  there  were  four  who 
finished  the  course  both  in  English  and  Japanese,  and  one  who  fin- 
ished in  Japanese  only.  Four  are  engaged  in  school  work  and  one  is 
studying  for  a  physician." 

The  girls  are  all  regular  attendants  at  church  and  Sunday-school, 
helping  in  eleven  different  churches  where  some  are  teachers,  others 
lead  in  singing,  and  still  others  play  the  organs.  The  Christian  organ- 
izations of  the  institution  have  been  the  means  of  good  to  the  girls 
themselves  and  to  others  through  them.  These  organizations  recently 
united  their  efforts  in  giving  the  proceeds,  which  amounted  to  120  Yen, 
of  the  sale  of  their  own  handiwork  and  of  a  concert,  to  the  Nagoya 
earthquake  sufferers,  and  to  one  of  the  Tokyo  churches  which  some 
of  them  attend. 

The  ladies  connected  with  this  institution,  in  addition  to  their  regu- 
lar duties  in  the  school,  devoted  a  large  amount  of  time  to  various 
kinds  of  evangelistic  work. 

Miss  Alexander,  who  has  been  assisted  during  the  year  by  Miss 
Leete  in  the  absence  of  Miss  West,  reports  as  follows  concerning  the 
Women's  Bible  Institute  : 

"  This  has  been  a  prosperous  year  for  this  department  of  our  work.  The 
students  in  attendance  now  number  thirty.  Among  these  several  are  day 
pupils  and  self-supporting.  Those  living  in  the  Institute  are  for  the  most  part 
beneficiaries.  Some  are  wholly,  some  are  partially  supported  by  the  scholar- 
ship fund.  The  larger  part  receive  only  their  food.  In  this  way  we  have 
been  able  to  add  to  the  resident  students  above  the  number  provided  for  by 
the  estimates  for  scholarships.  The  Christian  character  and  faithfulness  of 
the  students  of  the  Bible  Institute  cannot  be  too  highly  commended.  They 
live  together  in  harmony  and  mutual  helpfulness,  carrying  on  all  the  domestic 
work  of  the  household  in  a  most  satisfactory  manner.  As  students  they  have 
proved  themselves  in  every  case  to  be  earnest  and  diligent.     During  the  school 


I  58  EAST  JAPAN — TOKYO. 

year  thirteen  weekly  meetings  for  women  and  children  have  been  sustained  in 
different  parts  of  Tokyo,  and  its  neighborhood.  The  aggregate  attendance  at 
these  meetings  has  been  about  four  hundred  and  fifty  souls.  In  April,  and 
during  the  summer  months,  these  meetings  were  kept  up  by  the  students  of 
the  first  year,  while  those  of  the  second  and  third  years  were  at  work  in  ten 
different  stations  in  the  country.  These  stations  were  occupied  almost  without 
exception  at  the  invitation  of  the  pastor  or  helper  in  charge,  and  most  sat- 
isfactory reports  of  efforts  of  the  women  to  break  down  prejudice  and  lead 
both  men  and  women  to  a  knowledge  of  the  truth,  have  come  to  us  from  every 
place  where  they  have  been  permitted  to  work." 

Miss  Alexander  reports  that  what  has  been  known  as  the  Dai 
Machi  school,  owned  by  Mr.  Okami,  has  suffered  reverses  during  the 
past  year,  a  rival  school  having  been  opened  in  the  immediate  neigh- 
borhood in  which  a  four  years'  course  in  English  is  taught  at  lower 
rates  of  tuition  than  those  charged  by  Mr.  Okami.  Miss  Alexander 
has  continued  to  conduct  the  religious  instruction  in  this  school  dur- 
ing the  year. 

The  Shinagawa  School,  superintended  by  Miss  Alexander,  having 
outgrown  its  accommodations,  has  moved  into  a  new  and  commodious 
building.  Ninety- eight  pupils  were  enrolled.  The  teachers  are  re- 
ferred to  as  earnest  Christians.  Religious  instruction  occupied  a 
prominent  place  in  the  curriculum. 

The  Ai  Ai-Gakko,  referred  to  in  last  year's  report  as  founded  and 
conducted  by  a  converted  soldier,  has  received  a  good  deal  of  atten- 
tion from  the  Dai  Machi  ladies.  A  new  and  more  desirable  school- 
room has  been  occupied  during  the  year  in  which  preaching  services 
are  regularly  held. 

Mrs.  McCauley  has  continued  to  superintend  the  Shiba  Keimo 
Gakko,  or  common  school.  One  hundred  and  seventy  pupils  were 
in  attendance,  of  whom  one  hundred  and  sixty  paid  a  small  tuition 
fee.  One  hour  daily  is  devoted  to  religious  instruction,  and  all  are 
expected  to  attend  the  Sunday-school.  Eighteen  of  the  pupils  are  chil- 
dren of  Christian  parents,  and  two  of  them  have  united  with  the 
church  during  the  year.  In  connection  with  this  work  eight  of  the 
parents  have  been  baptized.  The  Bible-woman  who  is  employed  as 
a  teacher  in  the  school  has  devoted  a  good  deal  of  time  to  house-to- 
house  visitation.  The  Sunday-school  has  contributed  about  eighty 
cents  per  month,  which  has  been  devoted  to  furnishing  Bibles,  tracts, 
etc.,  to  the  Charity  Hospital  and  a  country  preaching  station.  The 
five  native  teachers  employed  are  Christians.  During  part  of  the  year 
a  meeting  was  held  in  the  evening  for  policemen,  and  others  who 
chose  to  attend. 

Miss  Youngman  reports  as  follows  concerning  the  work  under  her 
care  : 

"The  work  under  my  care  consists  of  the  Uyeno  Mission  at  21  Hirokoji 
Machi,  the  Kamajima  Mission  near  Jizobashi,  the  Keimo  primary  school  at 
Nos.  4  and  5  Shinsakaicho,  open-air  meetings  in  Uyeno  Park  and  near  Mon- 
zeki  Temple,  together  with  women's  Bible-classes  in  Hogo  and  Shinsaka 
churches,  a  prayer-meeting  on  Wednesday  afternoons  at  No.  6  Tsukiji,  for 
evangelistic  work  and  workers,  especially  in  Tokyo,  a  children's  society,  sing- 
ing classes,  organ  teaching,  sewing-school,  and  all  the  various  kinds  of  work 
carried  on  at  No.  6  Tsukiji." 


EAST   JAPAN — YOKOHAMA.  I  59 

The  mission  reports  that  these  several  branches  of  work  have  pros- 
pered under  the  direction  of  Miss  Youngman.  The  open-air  preach- 
ing conducted  by  our  missionaries  and  others  has  been  productive  of 
good  results.  The  magic-lantern  has  rendered  good  service,  in  illus- 
trating lessons  in  Old  Testament  history  and  in  the  life  of  Christ.  A 
number  of  persons  had  professed  their  faith  in  Christ,  and  others  had 
applied  for  admission  ;  the  number,  however,  is  not  stated. 

The  Sumiyoshicho  Gakko  in  Yokohama  has  continued  under  the 
superintendence  of  Miss  Case.  Organized  but  nine  years  ago,  it  has 
steadily  increased  until  last  year  it  was  necessary  to  occupy  part  of 
the  church  building  to  accommodate  the  pupils.  The  total  enrollment 
for  the  year  was  309.  Nine  native  teachers  were  employed,  six  of 
whom  were  Christians.  Twenty-two  pupils  completed  the  course  in 
the  preparatory  department  during  the  year.  A  domestic,  ox  indus- 
trial class,  was  organized  for  the  women  in  the  church  and  neighbor- 
hood in  which  foreign  and  Japanese  sewing,  knitting,  and  various 
kinds  of  fancy-work  were  taught,  and  the  meetings  were  closed  with  a 
Bible  lesson.  The  average  attendance  was  about  forty.  With  the 
consent  of  the  mission,  Miss  Case  has  been  teaching  in  the  Omatsu 
Government  school,  where  there  was  an  excellent  opening  for  Chris- 
tian work.  In  the  Sumiyoshicho  Sunday-school  the  average  attend- 
ance was  one  hundred  and  thirty.  Miss  Case  also  superintends  a 
Sabbath-school  in  Homoko,  held  in  a  private  house  in  that  village. 
Sixty  scholars  were  enrolled.  In  this  connection  it  ought  to  be  men- 
tioned that  Mrs.  Hepburn,  notwithstanding  feeble  health  and  advanc- 
ing years,  has  continued  to  lend  a  helping  hand  according  to  the 
measure  of  her  strength. 

Concerning  the  work  in  Sapporo  Miss  Smith  writes  : 

"As  to  our  work  in  Sapporo  I  can  report  it  as  being  in  a  prosperous  condi- 
tion. Our  school  has  never  been  so  well  equipped  for  work  as  now.  The  en- 
largement of  our  school  building,  so  much  needed,  and  completed  the  first  of 
September,  gives  us  two  good  recitation-rooms,  the  first  we  have  ever  had, 
and  an  equally  necessary  addition  to  our  dormitory.  A  new  organ  just 
arrived  supplies  a  long-felt  need  in  the  music  department.  We  have  secured 
new  pupils  this  year;  but  having  the  same  difficulty  to  contend  with  as  is  felt 
in  other  schools,  the  inability  to  retain  the  majority  of  the  pupils  any  length 
of  time,  the  number  of  attendants  remains  the  same  as  usual,  between  sixty 
and  seventy  of  all  classes." 

Miss  Smith  records  with  gratitude  a  growing  interest  on  the  part  of 
the  girls  in  her  Bible-class  in  the  subject  of  religion.  She  superin- 
tends three  Sabbath-schools  with  a  total  attendance  of  about  one  hun- 
dred pupils. 

Evangelistic. 

The  educational  work  in  this  mission  is  so  thoroughly  evangelistic, 
and  the  evangelistic  is  so  intimately  connected  with  the  educational, 
that  it  is  difficult  to  draw  the  line  between  the  two.  The  professors 
in  the  Meiji  Gaku-in  all  hold  themselves  responsible  for  some  phase 
of  evangelistic  work,  while  the  ladies  of  our  various  schools  devote  a 
large  amount  of  time  to  such  work  as  Sunday-schools,  Bible-classes, 
women's  meetings,  and  kindred  efforts. 


l6o  EAST   JAPAN — TOKYO. 

Dr.  Imbrie  reports  the  evangelistic  work  committed  to  his  care  as 
exhibiting  signs  of  promise,  especially  that  in  the  Hokkaido,  where  a 
number  have  been  baptized.  Mr.  MacNair  was  also  encouraged  in 
the  Province  of  Shinshu,  where  he  purposes  making  repeated  visits  to 
preach  the  Gospel.  Dr.  Thompson  has  devoted  his  time  mainly  to 
the  churches  and  stations  within  the  bounds  of  the  Second  Presbytery, 
which  required  frequent  journeys  into  the  country.  He  has  also 
preached  in  Kanda,  where  a  day-school  and  Sunday-school  under  the 
care  of  Mrs.  Thompson  are  carried  on.  The  work  in  Chiba,  reported 
last  year  as  under  the  care  of  Mr.  Pierson,  was  continued  by  him 
during  part  of  the  year.  Mr.  Pierson  writes,  "  We  have  had  excellent 
workers  in  Chiba,  and  a  blessing  has  followed  our  efforts.  A  special 
effort  was  made  to  meet  the  student  class,  and  we  have  encouraging 
evidence  thai  it  was  not  fruitless."  Miss  Davis  and  Miss  Milliken 
each  spent  part  of  the  year  at  Takata,  superintending  school  and 
evangelistic  work.     Of  the  school  Miss  Milliken  writes  : 

"  This  school  has  thirty  pupils,  more  than  half  of  whom  are  Christians.  It 
continues  to  encounter  lively  opposition  from  the  Buddhists,  but  is  warmly 
supported  by  the  Christians.  The  Japanese  teachers  practically  give  their 
services  gratis.  Pupils  from  the  school  teach  in  the  church  Sabbath-school 
and  in  a  Sunday-school  recently  opened  in  Kasuga  Machi.  A  Bible-woman, 
one  of  the  former  pupils  of  the  Joshi  Gaku-in,  came  in  September.  She  visits 
among  the  women,  has  classes  for  Bible  instruction  in  two  different  neighbor- 
hoods, and  has  opened  a  children's  meeting  in  Naoetsu." 

The  prolonged  visits  of  ladies  from  the  Joshi  Gaku-in  to  Takata 
have  done  much  to  strengthen  the  hands  of  the  Japanese  workers  in 
that  place,  and  to  stimulate  to  Christian  effort. 

Dr.  Hepburn  has  continued  to  instruct  a  large  Bible-class  in  the 
Sumiyoshiche  church,  where  an  admirable  opportunity  has  been  af- 
forded for  the  preaching  of  the  Word.  The  church  building,  the  best 
thus  far  erected  in  Japan,  for  which  Dr.  and  Mrs.  Hepburn  furnished 
or  procured  the  necessary  funds  without  drawing  on  the  mission 
treasury,  has  been  dedicated  to  the  worship  of  God  free  from  debt. 
The  building  is  a  modern  structure  built  of  brick  and  stone  in  the 
Western  style  of  church  architecture,  and  occupies  a  commanding 
position  in  Yokohama.  Dr.  Hepburn  has  spared  no  pains  to  make 
this  Christian  church  a  lighthouse  in  the  great  commercial  city  of  the 
Empire.  It  is  a  worthy  monument  to  the  devotion  and  fidelity  of  the 
noble  pioneer  who  first  published  the  Gospel  in  Japan. 

Literary  Work. 

Dr.  Hepburn  has  completed  his  Bible  Dictionary  in  Japanese,  and 
is  now  seeing  it  through  the  press.  This  book,  prepared  with  the  care 
characteristic  of  this  veteran  missionary,  will  be  a  valuable  addition  to 
the  Christian  literature  of  Japan.  Dr.  McCartee,  in  addition  to  the  in- 
struction of  Bible-classes,  has  devoted  a  good  deal  of  time  to  the  writ- 
ing, translating,  and  distributing  of  Christian  tracts.  Dr.  Imbrie,  in 
connection  with  his  lectures  in  the  Seminary  on  the  Epistles  to  the 
Philippians  and  Galatians,  has  been  preparing  a  commentary  on  the 
latter  which  he  hopes  to  publish  soon.     Mr.  Pierson  continued  to  edit 


WEST    JAPAN.  161 

the  editorial  department  of  The  Monthly  Evangelist,  a  religious  paper 
which  is  intended  to  meet  a  felt  want  in  the  Japanese  Church. 

The  mission  letter,  from  the  pen  of  Dr.  Thompson,  accompanying 
the  annual  reports  contains  the  following  paragraph,  which  ought  to 
challenge  attention,  and  stimulate  to  earnest  prayer  in  behalf  of 
Japan  : 

"When  we  compare  the  available  statistics  of  the  whole  Church,  contained 
in  the  Fifteenth  Report  of  the  Council  of  Missions,  we  find  but  a  small  in- 
crease of  350  members  in  our  whole  church,  while  the  same  report  reveals  the 
fact  that  two  Presbyteries  and  several  large  churches  have  actually  decreased 
in  the  number  of  reported  members.  This  retrograde  movement  may  go  far- 
ther when  the  rolls  of  all  the  churches  are  revised  and  purged  of  unworthy 
members.  Such  a  state  of  things  is  calculated  to  cause  us  anxiety,  and  we 
should  diligently  seek  the  causes  in  order  to  their  ultimate  removal."

In  the  West  Japan  Mission  the  year  has  passed  without  any  spe- 
cial revival  to  mark  the  evangelistic  work,  but  in  all  departments  of 
rehgious  labor  there  has  been  a  steady  growth.  In  spite  of  the  fact 
that  the  year  opened  gloomily,  and  with  many  forebodings  of  ill, 
the  statistics  sho^v  that  the  work  of  the  year  exceeds  that  of  other 
years.  The  report  of  the  mission  closes  with  the  following  signifi- 
cant words  :  <l  There  is  something  which  the  statistics  cannot  show — 
a  feeling  of  strength,  an  undercurrent  of  assurance  among  the  native 
Christians  that  is  most  hopeful.  It  is  not  enthusiasm,  and  yet  it  is 
as  far  as  possible  from  apathy  and  indifference.  Opposition  has 
been  dogged  and  sullen  in  some  places  and  violent  in  others,  but  it 
has  been  and  is  present  everywhere.  We  cannot  rent  a  preaching 
place  without  trouble.  Disturbance  at  meetings,  stone-throwing, 
and  the  like,  are  found  at  times  almost  everywhere,  but  usually  after 
the  first  attack  at  any  particular  place  the  police  afford  tolerably 
adequate  protection.  Satan  uses  his  old  weapons,  and  the  Buddhist 
priests  here  have  not  yet  learned  that  physical  opposition  cannot 
overthrow  a  spiritual  gospel." 

The  health  of  the  missionaries  has  not  been  as  good  as  usual. 
Several  members  of  the  mission  have  been  temporarily  laid  aside 
from  work,  while  others  have  suffered  more  or  less,  but  not  so  as 
to  seriously  interfere  with  their  labors.  Miss  Loveland,  owing 
to  continued  ill  health,  has  been  compelled  to  drop  her  work  and 
return  to  the  United  States.  Miss  Hesser,  having  completed  her 
term  of  service  on  the  field,  has  returned  to  America  for  a  much- 
needed  rest  and  change.  Mrs.  Bryan,  after  a  faithful  missionary  life 
of  nine  years,  died  at  her  home  in  this  country  May  19th.  Her 
husband,  Rev.  A.  V.  Bryan,  returned  to  his  field  of  labor  in  Septem- 
ber, after  a  year's  furlough.  Rev.  and  Mrs.  J.  W.  Doughty  were 
transferred  to  the  Yamaguchi  station  in  the  early  fall.  Mr.  Hearst, 
owing  to  a  somewhat  protracted  illness,  was  compelled,  with  his 
family,  to  spend  the  greater  part  of  the  year  in  Kobe.  Miss  Cuth- 
bert was  temporarily  removed  from  Hiroshima  to  Yamaguchi,  to  as- 
sist in  the  Eiwa  Jo  Gakko.  A  permanent  foothold  seems  to  have 
been  gained  in  the  interesting  outstations  of  Fukui  and  Toyama, 
and  Rev.  Messrs.  Fulton  and  Leonard,  respectively,  with  their  fam- 
ilies, have  taken  up  their  residence  in  these  important  cities. 


WEST   JAPAN — KANAZAWA.  1 63 

The  total  number  of  additions  on  profession  was  205,  making  a 
membership  in  the  thirteen  churches  of  the  mission  of  1,541.  Nine 
schools  have  been  open  continuously,  with  an  enrollment  of  246 
pupils.  There  have  been  gathered  from  Sabbath  to  Sabbath  in  the 
various  Sunday-schools  1,280  children,  to  whom  the  Word  of  Life 
has  been  faithfully  taught.  The  13  ordained  native  preachers  and 
23  native  licentiates,  as  well  as  the  15  native  teachers  and  helpers 
and  11  Bible-women,  have  been  faithful  in  the  dissemination  of  the 
gospel,  and  many  through  their  efforts  have  been  brought  into  the 
churches. 

Educational   Work. 

While  there  has  been  a  marked  falling  off  in  many  of  the  denomi- 
national schools  of  Japan,  it  is  gratifying  to  report  that  this  has  not 
been  so  with  the  schools  under  this  Board  in  the  West  Japan  Mis- 
sion. Nearly  all  of  the  schools  have  kept  up  to  their  former  num- 
bers, and  several  have  had  a  much  larger  attendance,  as  will  be  seen 
from  the  statistics.  The  Girls'  School  in  Osaka  has  been  renamed 
and  placed  under  a  new  regime,  from  which  good  results  are  ex- 
pected. The  reports  from  the  Kanazawa  schools  are  encouraging, 
especially  that  of  the  Bible  Training  Department  of  the  Girls' 
School.  The  new  schools  at  Yamaguchi  and  Fukui  are  in  a  pros- 
perous condition. 

Kanazawa. — The  three  schools  of  this  station,  namely,  the  Chil- 
dren's School,  the  Girls'  School,  and  the  Boys'  School,  constitute 
one  system,  each  aiming  to  do  a  distinct  work,  which,  combined, 
will  furnish  a  thorough  school  training  from  kindergarten  up  for  the 
children  of  the  native  Christian  families,  and  all  otners  who  choose 
to  avail  themselves  of  the  opportunity. 

The  Kanazawa  Girls'  School  opened  with  an  attendance  of  47 
pupils,  which  number  soon  increased  to  55,  with  an  average  attend- 
ance through  the  year  of  47.  Miss  Hesser  furnishes  the  following 
report  of  the  school:  "The  religious  interest  among  the  girls  has 
been  most  encouraging.  One  of  the  older  Christian  girls  has  been 
elected  deaconess  in  the  church,  which  office  she  fills  acceptably. 
Six  of  our  boarding  pupils  testify  that  they  have  expetienced  a 
change  of  heart  during  the  year,  and  their  lives  give  evidence  of 
such  a  change,  but  nearly  all  of  them  are  forbidden  to  confess  Christ 
by  their  heathen  parents.  Our  school  was  never  in  a  more  flourish- 
ing condition  than  it  now  is.  Seven  pupils  graduated  this  year  in 
the  English  course,  and  five  in  the  Japanese  department." 

Miss  Hesser  also  writes  that  the  Girls'  Christian  Association  in  the 
school,  numbering  39  members,  was  most  active  in  earning  money 
for  the  rebuilding  of  the  church  which  was  destroyed  last  year. 
"The  Society  of  King's  Daughters,  also  numbering  39  members, 
holds  its  meetings  twice  a  month.  These  meetings  often  prove  a 
means  of  growth  in  grace  to  them,  and  at  such  gatherings  the 
teachers  are  often  permitted  to  get  a  glimpse  of  their  inner  life  of 
faith,  with  its  trials  and  victories."  Miss  Hesser,  in  closing  the  re- 
port, adds  :  "  The  Sabbath-school  work  done  by  the  girls  of  our 


164  WEST  JAPAN — KANAZAWA. 

school  will  tell  on  the  future  growth  of  the  church.  Every  Satur- 
day morning  we  have  a  prayer-meeting  with  them,  and  then  after- 
wards spend  an  hour  with  them  in  the  study  of  the  lesson  for  the 
next  day  ;  and  on  Sunday  morning  sixteen  girls  go  out  to  teach  in 
nine  different  schools,  and  in  this  way  over  300  children  are  brought 
under  Christian  instruction  every  Sunday  in  Kanazawa." 

This  Girls'  School  has  been  materially  equipped  during  the  year  by 
the  erection  of  a  chapel  and  recitation-rooms,  the  funds  for  which 
were  most  generously  provided  by  friends  on  the  field  ;  also  a  new 
school  building  which  was  occupied  toward  the  close  of  the  year,  and 
with  reference  to  which  Mrs.  Naylor  writes:  "We  have  now  ample 
and  comfortable  accommodations  for  forty  boarders,  and  are  earnestly 
praying  that  all  the  rooms  may  be  occupied.  I  wish  it  were  possible 
to  convey  our  expressions  of  gratitude  to  every  individual  who  helped 
us  to  such  a  blessing  as  this  new  building  has  already  been  to  us,  and 
will  be  to  us  and  our  work  we  hope  through  many  years  to  come.  It 
is  not  ours  to  know  who  the  kind  donors  were,  but  we  have  tried  to 
express  our  gratitude  to  One  who  does  know,  and  who  is  able  to  re- 
ward them  abundantly." 

The  Kanazawa  Boys'  School  report  reads  as  follows  :  "  The  year 
past  has  been  one  of  good  faithful  work  on  the  part  of  the  students. 
We  have  had  a  much  more  quiet  and  contented  spirit  among  them 
than  last  year.  This  fact  has  made  our  work  much  easier  and  pleas- 
anter,  and  gives  us  hope  that  the  low-water  mark  has  been  passed.  We 
began  the  year  with  $$  pupils  and  close  with  35  enrolled.  Fifteen  of 
our  boys  are  Christians ;  6  of  these  are  expecting  to  enter  the  minis- 
try. Most  of  the  Christian  boys  are  active  in  helping  to  carry  on 
work  at  the  preaching  places,  and  in  the  Y.  M.  C.  A.  work.  Special 
emphasis  is  put  upon  the  daily  study  of  the  Scriptures,  and  still  greater 
care  will  be  taken  next  year  to  maintain  an  active  interest  in  the 
thorough  and  systematic  study  of  God's  Word.  Four  students  were 
graduated  during  the  year." 

The  Kanazawa  Children  s  School  began  the  year  with  an  attend- 
ance of  41  pupils.  During  the  year  the  number  was  somewhat  les- 
sened by  the  removal  of  families  to  other  cities.  Miss  Loveland,  who 
had  charge  of  this  work  during  the  year,  writes  as  follows  concerning 
the  Children's  School :  "  The  remarkably  regular  attendance  in  all  ex- 
cept the  severest  winter  weather  is  a  great  encouragement.  The 
children  are  excellent  Bible  students,  studying  with  much  pleasure  and 
passing  gratifying  examinations.  We  hear  of  several  of  the  children's 
parents  who  are  interested  in  the  Truth.  These  are  visited  by  one  of 
our  native  teachers  who  spends  with  them  what  time  she  can,  trying  to 
lead  them  into  the  light.  The  fathers  of  two  of  our  children  have 
been  received  into  the  Church  this  year,  and  the  mothers  are  among 
the  women  who  wish  to  learn  the  True  Way.  Every  Friday  morning 
prayer-meetings  are  held  in  the  school-rooms,  in  which  all  the  chil- 
dren are  glad  to  take  part.  The  Working  Society  which  was  organ- 
ized last  year  flourishes,  and  is  enjoyed  by  the  pupils.  There  are 
two  Sunday-schools  connected  with  our  work,  both  of  which  have  been 
well  attended,  especially  the  one  in  our  school  building."     One  of  the 


WEST   JAPAN— OSAKA,    YAMAGUCHI.  165 

brethren  of  the  station  writes  with  reference  to  this  school  :  "  In  some 
respects  this  is  perhaps  the  most  important  and  promising  work  we  are 
doing  in  Kanazawa." 

The  Kanazawa  Bible  Training  Class  was  organized  in  January, 
1891.  The  class  began  with  7  young  women,  and  3  more  have  al- 
ready applied  for  entrance  this  year.  It  has  been  thought  best  at 
present  to  limit  the  number  to  10  members.  It  is  the  object  of  this 
class  to  give  practical  instruction  in  methods  of  Christian  work,  and  as 
far  as  possible  the  members  of  the  class  are  expected  during  the  two 
years'  study  to  take  an  active  part  in  Sabbath  school  teaching,  assist- 
ing in  woman's  meetings  and  house-to-house  visitation  in  and  around 
Kanazawa,  and  when  they  have  finished  the  course  of  study  to  go  out 
into  the  surrounding  cities  as  Bible-readers. 

Osaka. — The  Naniwa  Girls  School  is  the  only  educational  work 
connected  with  this  station.  Miss  McGuire's  report  is  as  follows: 
"  Our  numbers  have  not  been  large.  We  believe,  however,  that  the 
work  done  directly  and  indirectly  by  this  school  for  the  cause  of 
Christianity  has  been  considerable.  We  have  had  an  enrollment  of  18, 
fifteen  of  whom  were  Christians.  The  older  classes  have  done  good 
work  in  Bible  study,  and  we  trust  that  this  knowledge  will  be  used  in 
winning  souls  to  Christ.  Their  prayer-meetings  have  been  regularly 
kept  up  during  the  year,  and  they  have  been  very  faithful  in  their  Mis- 
sionary Society.  They  have  also  done  a  great  deal  of  practical  mis- 
sionary work  during  the  past  year.  From  9  to  12  of  them  have  given 
regular  assistance  in  Sunday-schools  and  other  work  for  children  in 
this  neighborhood.  Several  of  the  girls  expect  to  organize  Sunday- 
schools  in  their  homes  this  summer." 

Miss  Haworth,  in  addition  to  her  work  in  the  Girls'  School,  has, 
with  the  aid  of  two  Japanese  helpers,  taught  two  day-schools.  These 
have  had  an  average  attendance  of  forty,  almost  all  from  unbelieving 
homes.  These  schools  for  children,  with  two  Sunday-schools,  having  an 
average  attendance  of  80  from  the  homes  of  unbelievers,  have  made  up  a 
part  of  her  routine  duties  during  the  year.  The  cordial  thanks  of  the 
parents  of  the  children  for  the  work  done  for  their  children,  and  the 
urgent  requests  that  Miss  Haworth  visit  them  in  their  own  homes, 
more  than  repaid  her,  she  thinks,  for  her  labor  of  love. 

Yamaguclii. — The  Eiwa  Jo  Gakko  began  its  sessions  on  the  15th 
of  January,  1891,  with  two  scholars,  who  went  from  the  Konyo  Jo 
Gakko  of  Hiroshima,  and  about  eight  new  scholars.  The  number 
now  in  actual  attendance  is  18,  and  the  whole  number  enrolled  from 
the  beginning  of  the  year  22.  Mr.  Ayres  writes  :  ''We  have  reason 
to  feel  assured  that  God  has  signally  blessed  us  in  enabling  us  to 
close  our  school  for  the  year  with  18  self-supporting  scholars  in  actual 
attendance.  The  outlook  seems  to  warrant  us  in  believing  that  if  we 
may  have  one  single  woman  teacher  and  a  little  financial  aid,  we  can 
soon  have  a  strong,  flourishing  school  in  one  of  the  chief  educational 
centres  of  Western  Japan.  Under  this  head  mention  must  be  made  of 
the  three  young  men  now  at  the  Nagasaki  Theological  School,  but 
who  are  under  the  fostering  care  of  the  Yamaguchi  Station,  and  also  of 


1 66  WEST  JAPAN— CHURCH   WORK. 

one  man  who  is  preparing  for  licensure  under  the  instruction  of  the  mis- 
sionary and  the  native  pastor  at  Yamaguchi." 

Fukui. — The  Seisoku  Gakkoiox  b^ys and  girls  was  organized  during 
the  year,  and  has  had  an  attendance  of  8  boys  and  6  girls.  It  has 
been  entirely  self  supporting. 

Church  Work. 

The  Kanazaiva  First  Church  is  still  the  larger  and  more  influential 
church  of  Kanazawa.  It  records  a  prosperous  year  under  the  efficient 
management  of  its  earnest  and  devoted  pastor,  Rev.  Mr.  Banno. 
The  membership  has  been  increased  during  the  year  by  the  addition 
of  35,  of  whom  28  joined  on  profession  of  faith.  The  total  mem- 
bership is  170,  and  the  entire  number  added  since  the  organization 
of  the  church,  307.  The  attendance  at  the  Sabbath  services,  as  well 
as  at  the  Friday  evening  prayer-meeting  and  the  Sabbath-school,  has 
been  excellent.  The  contributions  of  the  native  members  have 
amounted  to  $250. 

"  During  the  heavy  snow  of  last  January  the  building  of  this  church 
was  made  almost  a  total  wreck  by  the  caving  in  of  the  roof,  thus  ne- 
cessitating a  ne«v  building.  This  will  be  a  much  better  one  than  the 
old  one.  It  will  seat  250  people,  and  costs  1,000  yen,  besides  220 
yen  paid  for  an  additional  lot.  The  church  pays  half  of  the  cost  of 
the  building  and   20  yen  on   the  lot.     The  other  part  will  be  raised 

among  the  foreigners This  church  has  a  very  hopeful  future,  a 

splendid  location,   an   attractive  building,  a  fairly  good  membership, 
and  a  most  faithful  pastor." 

The  Kanazawa  Second  Church,  or  the  Tonomachi  Church,  has  a 
membership  of  60.  During  the  year  5  were  added  by  baptism  and 
2  by  letter.  Preaching  services  on  the  Sabbath,  as  well  as  a  weekly 
prayer-meeting  and  a  Sunday-school,  have  been  maintained  with  a 
fair  attendance.  "It  has  a  licentiate  ministering  to  it  who  has  also 
been  chosen  one  of  its  elders.  It  has  a  good  building  in  a  central 
locality  and  is  now  out  of  debt.  We  hope  for  better  things  in  the 
future  for  it." 

Osaka  Church  Work. — There  are  eight  organized  church  congrega- 
tions under  the  care  of  this  station,  with  a  total  membership  of  726, 
of  whom  47  were  added  during  the  year  on  profession  of  faith.  Sev- 
eral of  the  churches  have  been  without  pastors,  or  even  evangelists, 
during  a  whole  or  a  large  part  of  the  year.  But  notwithstanding  this 
fact  a  large  number  of  inquirers,  in  addition  to  those  who  have  united 
with  the  church,  are  reported  as  ready  for  baptism.  The  Yanagawa 
Church  has  a  membership  of  141.  During  the  year  the  members  of 
the  church,  with  funds  raised  among  their  friends,  completed  a  new 
church  building.  The  native  Christians  at  Banshu,  with  a  little  aid 
from  the  mission,  have  raised  sufficient  money  to  purchase  a  new 
house  of  wor-hip. 

The  Hiroshima  Church  has  shown  good  progress.  During  the  past 
six  months  ten  adults  and  as  many  childien  have  been  baptized.  The 
aggregate  of  church  membership  is  200.  The  total  number  of  addi- 
tions on  profession  of  faith  was  34.     Mr.  Curtis  writes  that  in  money 


WEST   JAPAN— EVANGELISTIC   WORK.  167 

matters  there  has  been  a  decided  advance,  and  that  with  some  help 
from  the  resident  mis-ionaries  the  church  has  become  self-supporting. 

The  Yamaguchi  Church. — "  The  church  people  at  Yamaguchi  con- 
sider themselves  extremely  fonunate  to  have  obtained  as  their  pastor 
Rev.  Hattori  San,  anil  at  the  same  time  to  have  received  into  their  midst 
the  missionaries  lately  sent  there.  Thirty-four  additions  during  the 
year  mark  the  progress  of  the  church,  which  now  numbers  about  100 
members  actually  on  the  field.  Besides  the  regular  Sunday  services, 
the  pastor  has  meetings  for  Bible  study  twice  a  week,  a  question  and 
answer  meeting  for  unbelievers  once  a  week,  and  a  Wednesday  evening 
prayer- meeting.  A  preaching  place  has  recently  been  opened  in 
another  part  of  the  city  with  two  weekly  services  in  charge  of  a 
licentiate.  The  meetings  here  are  well  attended,  and  the  audiences 
usually  attentive  and  quiet."  There  are  a  number  in  Yamaguchi  now 
preparing  to  receive  baptism,  and  a  very  large  number  of  inquirers. 

The  Kokura  Church  was  organized  on  the  5th  of  April,  1891,  with 
a  membership  of  twenty-five.  A  week  eailier  a  neat  little  chapel  was 
dedicated,  one  half  of  the  cost  of  which  was  raised  by  the  native 
Christians  themselves  and  their  friends,  about  twenty  dollars  being  con- 
tributed by  a  man  who  was  himself  not  a  Christian.  The  church  has 
asked  Mr.  H.  Aoyma,  who  some  months  since  completed  his  studies 
at  McCormick  Seminary,  to  act  as  their  minister,  and  he  has  accepted 
the  call  and  will  soon  enter  upon  his  duties  as  stated  supply. 

Evangelistic  Work. 

Kanazawa. — Beside  the  evangelistic  work  done  in  the  schools  and 
churches,  there  are  five  preaching  places  open,  at  all  of  which  once 
a  week  a  preaching  service  and  a  Sabbath-school  have  been  held. 
During  the  year  the  superintendence  of  this  department  of  labor  has 
rested  almost  entirely  upon  Mr.  Winn,  with  the  assistance  of  a  few 
native  pastors.  The  brethren  of  the  station  write :  "  We  believe 
these  preaching  places  to  be  of  inestimable  importance  to  our  work, 
although  great  discouragements  are  met  with,  and  stolid  indifference  or 
active  opposition  is  encountered  eveiywhere.  But  time  will  certainly 
show  that  patient,  persevering,  and  withal  loving  efforts  put  forth  in 
many  places  will  eventually  break  down  prejudices  and  overcome  op- 
position, and  give  us  greater  access  to  the  people."  Miss  Hesser  re- 
ports several  very  interesting  meetings  held  by  herself  and  members 
of  the  Bible  Trail  ing  Class,  in  Komatsu,  Daishoji,  and  Fukui. 

Osaka. — ■'  The  territory  entrusted  to  the  care  of  the  Csaka  Station 
is  over  three  hundred  miles  from  east  to  west.  This  field  in  extent, 
numbers,  and  promise,  is  second,  if  not  first  in  importance  in  Japan. 
A  few  words  in  regard  to  numbers  and  promise  may  not  be  out  of 
place.  Osaka,  with  its  estimated  population  of  six  hundred  thousand, 
though  second  in  actu.il  numbers,  is  the  first  in  commercial  import- 
ance in  Japan.  Osaka  Fu  has  one  million  six  hundred  thousand  peo- 
ple, and  railroad  communication  throughout.  In  Kobe,  and  the  im- 
mense population  surrounding  it,  we  have  a  field  which  has  not  yet 
been  fully  worked  by  any  denomination.  In  the  western  end  of  Shi- 
koku,  the  third  island  in  size  in  the  Empire,  we  also  have  a  promising 


l68  WEST   JAPAN  — HIROSHIMA,    KYOTO. 

work  waiting  for  more  laborers.  Last,  but  not  least,  is  the  great  work 
in  the  island  of  Kiushu.  Railroad  and  steamship  lines  now  make 
this  entire  island  accessible.  The  mere  mention  of  these  facts  will 
show  that  the  importance  of  this  field  in  regard  to  population  has  not 
been  overestimated.  The  promise  for  a  successful  work  is  wonderful. 
Of  course  all  of  our  work  has  felt  the  effect  of  the  political  excite- 
ment of  last  year,  but  there  has  been  unusual  willingness  on  the  part 
of  the  people  to  give  the  Gospel  a  respectful  hearing." 

"  In  the  city  of  Osaka  four  new  preaching  stations  have  been 
opened  during  the  past  thirteen  months,  two  of  them,  however,  being 
merely  a  change  in  locality.  All  these  places  have  had  one  preach- 
ing service  during  the  week  and  two  have  held  two  weekly  services. 
Three  of  the  four  places  named  have  had  Sunday-schools  connected 
with  them.  All  these  services  have  ha'd  an  encouraging  attendance. 
At  one  point  six  have  received  baptism,  and  at  another  four  are  desirous 
of  receiving  this  ordinance.  In  both  of  these  places  Bible-classes  for 
adults  have  been  started,  in  which  no  small  amount  of  interest  has 
been  shown." 

Hiroshima. — For  several  months  during  the  year  this  station  was 
without  any  of  its  former  members.  One  of  the  most  encouraging 
features  of  the  year  has  been  that  of  work  among  the  women, 
vigorously  carried  on  by  Miss  Cuthbert,  and  by  Miss  Hesser,  of  the 
Kanazawa  station,  who  spent  a  few  months  in  Hiroshima.  For 
some  months  Miss  Cuthbert  had  a  large  class  of  women  at  her  own 
home,  once  a  week,  to  whom  she  faithfully  taught  the  Word  of  Life. 
But  her  principal  work  has  been  that  of  house-to-house  visitation, 
which  has  been  unusually  successful.  Mr.  Curtis  writes  of  the 
difficulty  in  securing  buildings  in  which  to  hold  their  meetings. 
He  has,  however,  been  successful  in  leasing  a  building  in  the 
eastern  quarter  of  the  city,  a  most  densely  populated  district,  where 
he  hopes  to  hold  meetings  during  the  year.  Mr.  Curtis,  in  his 
report  of  the  year's  work,  speaks  of  visits  and  preaching  tours  to 
many  of  the  outstations  and  surrounding  villages  where  preaching 
services  have  been  held  with  large  audiences  at  each  meeting,  and 
an  encouraging  degree  of  interest  manifested  in  the  Christian 
religion. 

Kyoto. — In  the  early  months  of  the  year  Mr.  Porter  returned  to 
the  United  States  on  furlough,  and  shortly  after  his  departure 
Mr.  Hearst,  owing  to  ill-health,  was  ordered  by  the  physician-in- 
charge  to  remove  to  Kobe  in  the  hope  that  the  change  would 
hasten  his  recovery.  The  work,  however,  has  been  under  the 
supervision  and  direction  of  other  members  of  the  mission,  and 
Mr.  Hearst,  in  a  recent  letter,  speaks  of  his-  return  to  Kyoto  and 
of  his  occupancy  of  his  new  house  :  "  In  Kyoto  we  now  have  eighty 
believers,  notwithstanding  a  number  of  removals  and  deaths,  and 
have  baptized  since  last  September  nineteen  adults  and  two  chil- 
dren. The  number  of  inquirers  is  now  greater  than  it  has  been  at 
any  previous  time.  Twenty  have  been  added  on  profession  of  faith 
during  the  year.     There  are  120  pupils  in  Sabbath-school." 


WEST  JAPAN — TOYAMA,    KOBE,   FUKUI.  169 

At  Tsuruga  there  have  been  five  persons  baptized.  "  The  persecu- 
tion has  been  such  as  to  drive  many  away,  and  yet  persecution  is 
beginning  to  have  its  reward,  and  there  is  now  a  great  deal  of 
interest  manifested  in  Christianity." 

Toyama. — Mr.  Hayes  made  a  number  of  visits  to  this  region 
during  the  year,  and  furnishes  the  following  report  :  "During  the 
year  the  prospects  in  Toyama  have  perceptibly  brightened,  and  the 
workers  and  other  brethren  feel  greatly  encouraged.  The  two 
Bible-women  are  doing  a  quiet  but  important  work,  visiting  from 
house  to  house.  A  society  of  ten  young  men,  many  of  them  school- 
teachers, meets  every  Saturday  evening  for  the  purpose  of  studying 
the  Bible."  In  December  of  1891  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Leonard  removed 
from  Kanazawa  to  Toyama,  which  city  is  to  be  occupied  hereafter 
as  a  mission  station.  Mr.  Leonard,  in  a  recent  letter,  writes:  '•  We 
had  a  very  kind  reception  by  the  little  band  of  Christians,  which 
numbers  twenty-six.  They  seem  to  be  quite  well  united,  and  are 
elated  over  the  prospect  of  having  some  one  among  them  to  help 
them.  We  have  not  been  able  to  secure  more  than  one  preaching 
place  as  yet,  though  we  have  two  helpers.  I  have  organized  a 
small  English  class  of  ten  boys,  to  which  I  give  about  three  hours 
a  week.  Mrs.  Leonard  is  also  teaching  a  little  in  the  Girls'  School 
that  has  been  conducted  here  for  some  time  by  a  graduate  from  the 
Kanazawa  Girls'  School.  I  have  preached  twice  in  Japanese,  and 
am  working  up  other  sermons  as  fast  as  I  can.  Oh,  if  I  only  had 
the  language !  What  an  abundant  harvest,  and  yet  scarcely  a 
reaper  at  work  !  Five  thousand  people  here — and  to  the  north, 
and  west,  and  south  many  smaller  places — and  barely  any  work 
being  done  for  Christ !  " 

Kobe. — Mr.  Haworth  writes  as  follows:  "Our  work  in  Kobe 
shows  progress  since  the  last  report.  Additions  by  baptism  and 
otherwise  increased  the  number  of  Presbyterians  connected  with 
our  work  to  about  fifty,  twice  the  number  reported  last  year.  The 
attendance  of  the  children  at  Sunday-school  is  especially  encour- 
aging. Preaching  services  in  various  outstations  have  been  held 
regularly,  and  the  interest  shown  by  those  who  attend  them  is  en- 
couraging." 

Fukui. — Mr.  and  Mrs.  Fulton  occupied  Fukui  as  a  station  in 
April,  1S91.  Mr.  Fulton  reports:  "We  found  a  small  nucleus  of 
people  already  interested  in  the  Gospel  through  the  faithful  labors 
of  our  evangelist,  and  attending  the  services  regularly.  Since  we 
have  been  here  we  have  been  gratified  to  notice  the  gradual  and 
steady  growth  in  the  attendance  until  now  it  is  the  exception  to 
have  a  poor  audience.  We  have  a  membership  of  eleven,  and  three 
or  four  others  are  applicants  for  baptism.  Thus  far  we  have  been 
carrying  on  work  in  two  preaching  places,  but  hope  to  open  another 
as  soon  as  a  house  is  available.  We  find  it  very  difficult  to  rent 
good  preaching  places,  but  are  fortunate  in  having  one  especially 
well  adapted  for  our  work  and  very  centrally  situated.  We  have 
an  attendance  of  thirty  to  forty  at  Sabbath-school." 


170  WEST  JAPAN — STATISTICS. 

Kokura. — The  work  throughout  the  Kokura  region,  and  in  and 
over  the  island  of  Kiushu,  is  far  more  encouraging  than  at  any 
time  in  ihe  past.  The  Kiushu  railway  is  now  completed  from  Moji 
toward  Kumamoto  for  a  distance  of  more  than  one  hundred  miles. 
This  road  runs  through  Kokura,  in  consequence  of  which  the  place 
is  improving  and  growing  rapidly  both  in  size  and  importance. 
Several  other  towns,  hitherto  thought  to  be  of  no  account,  are 
coming  rapidly  to  the  front  and  promise  to  be  centres  of  influence. 
Miss  Garvin,  writing  from  Kokura  during  a  stay  of  several  months 
in  that  city,  says  that  the  work  in  Kokura  is  in  a  most  flourishing 
condition,  and  that  among  the  most  earnest  inquirers  are  young 
men  who  will  doubtless  soon  seek  for  baptism.

MISSION  IN  KOREA. 

Sfoul  :  the  capital,  near  the  western  coast,  on  the  Han  River,  and  twenty-five  miles 
overland  from  the  commercial  port,  Chemulpo;  mission  begun  in  1884;  laborers — Rev. 
1).  I..  Gilford  and  wife  ;  Rev.  S.  A.  Moffctt,  C.  C.  Vinton,  M.D.,  and  wife,  H.  M.  Brown, 
M.D.,  and  wife,  Mr.  J.  S.  Gale,  Mrs.  J.  W.  Heron,  and  Miss  S.  A.  Doty. 

Fusan  :  on  the  southeast  coast ;  occupied  as  a  mission  station,  1891;  laborers — Rev. 
W.  M.  Baiid  and  wife. 

In  tins  country :  Rev.  and  Mrs.  II.  G.  Underwood. 

About  the  middle  of  September,  1884,  Dr.  H.  N.  Allen  arrived  in 
Korea  as  the  first  missionary  of  the  Presbyterian  Board,  and,  we  may 
say,  the  first  missionary  of  any  Protestant  Board.  He  was  received  as 
physician  to  the  American  Legation  under  the  U.  S.  Minister,  General 
Foote.  Very  soon  after  his  arrival,  on  the  occasion  of  an  outbreak 
between  the  Chinese  and  the  Japanese  garrisons,  who  were  guarding 
the  interests  of  their  respective  governments,  Dr.  Allen  was  called  to 
treat  certain  high  officials  who  had  been  dangerously  wounded,  by 
which  he  gained  at  once  very  great  influence  with  the  Korean  court. 
During  a  brief  reign  of  terror,  in  which  the  ministers  of  the  foreign 
powers  all  retired  to  Chemulpo,  the  seaport  of  Seoul,  he  was  left  with 
his  wife  and  child  wholly  unprotected,  except  that  the  Government, 
which  had  learned  to  appreciate  his  valuable  services,  guarded  his 
residence  anil  furnished  an  armed  escort  during  his  visits  to  the  palace. 
Dr.  J.  W.  Heron  and  Rev.  H.  G.  Underwood  were  sent  out  some 
months  later  as  missionaries  of  the  Presbyterian  Board,  and  about  the 
same  time  a  mission  ot  the  American  Methodist  Church  was  estab- 
lished at  Seoul.  The  King  of  Korea  fitted  up  a  hospital,  which  was 
placed  under  the  care  of  Dr.  Allen,  the  Government  defraying  all 
expense  except  his  salary.  About  the  same  time  the  Government 
established  a  school  or  college,  in  which  were  employed  three  Amer- 
ican instructor-,  Messrs.  Hnlbert,  Gilmore,  and  Bunker.  Unexpect- 
edly the  missionaries  found  that  a  leaven  of  Protestant  Christian 
influence  had  been  at  work  among  Koreans,  especially  in  the  north 
and  northwest,  near  the  Manchunan  border,  for  some  years  before 
their  anival  at  Seoul.  This  was  due  to  the  labors  of  certain  native 
helpers  who  had  been  educated  by  Rev.  Mr.  Ross,  of  the  Irish  Pres- 
byterian Mission  at  Moukden,  Manchuria.  Certain  inquirers  found 
in  Seoul  had  received  salutary  impressions  through  this  channel. 

The  work  of  the  Korea  Mission  has  advanced  with  various  fortunes 
through  this  short  period  of  seven  years.  There  has  been  more  or 
less  restriction  on  the  part  of  the  Government,  and  yet,  to  a  large 
extent,  there  has  been  a  sort  of  connivance  at  supposed  infringements 
of  existing  laws,  owing  to  the  favorable  auspices  under  which  mission 
work  was  begun,  and  also  to  a  general  disposition  to  favor  American 
influence.      Lately   there   has,  perhaps,  been    more    solicitude    on    the 


172  KOREA. 

part  of  the  Government,  owing  to  the  influx  of  the  Chinese  and 
Japanese  populations.  It  is  highly  probable  that  there  is  just  ground 
for  this  fear,  and  it  would  not  be  strange  if  restrictive  measures,  which 
could  not  well  discriminate  between  nationalities,  should  be  rather 
increased.  At  the  same  time,  the  mission  work  in  Korea  has  taken 
such  deep  root  that  there  can  be  no  other  result,  humanly  speaking, 
than  that  of  general  progress.  Through  the  labors  of  Rev.  Mr.  Under- 
wood, a  very  encouraging  and  valuable  beginning  has  been  made  in 
the  translation  of  the  Scriptures;  also,  in  the  preparation  of  a  grammar 
and  a  dictionary  of  the  Korean  language. 

The  present  condition  of  the  mission  is  very  encouraging.  Large 
accessions  of  church  members  have  not  been  made,  though  the  pres- 
ent total  membership  of  the  Presbyterian  Church  in  Korea  is  119. 
More  than  half  of  these,  however,  are  resident  in  outstations,  where 
native  helpers  have  been  at  work  for  the  last  three  or  four  years  suc- 
cessfully, and  where  missionaries  upon  tours  of  itineration  have  care- 
fully examined  the  candidates  and  baptized  them.  But  one  death 
has  occurred  in  the  mission  circle  since  the  establishment  of  the  mis- 
sion, that  of  Dr.  J.  W.  Heron,  in  August,  i8qo,  from  dysentery.  The 
present  force  actually  upon  the  ground  numbers  thirteen  persons. 
Six  are  women,  of  whom  two  are  unmarried;  of  the  men,  three  are 
clergymen  and  two  physicians.  During  the  year  Mr.  J.  S.  Gale, 
already  resident  in  Korea,  was  appointed  a  lay  missionary  of  the 
Board,  and  the  force  was  further  enlarged  by  the  arrival  in  November 
of  Dr.  and  Mrs.  H.  M.  Brown,  both  fully  trained  physicians.  Rev. 
Mr.  Underwood  is  at  present  at  home  on  leave  of  absence,  on  account 
of  the  impaired  health  of  his  wife. 

The  Korea  Mission,  as  shown  by  the  recent  report  of  the  Mission 
Meeting,  seems  to  be  thoroughly  organized.  All  forms  of  work  are 
admirably  systematized,  and  are  brought  under  the  supervision  of  the 
mission  as  an  organic  body.  Everything  is  directed  by  the  united 
wisdom  of  the  mis-ion.  The  women,  as  well  as  the  men,  are  placed 
in  charge  of  certain  lines  of  work,  so  that  every  interest  is  intrusted 
to  some  particular  one,  who  is  considered  responsible  therefor.  The 
importance  of  oiganization  cannot  be  overestimated,  unless  it  should 
be  carried  so  far  as  to  impair  the  work  by  needless  over-legislation  and 
consequent  limitation.  The  more  common  danger  is  that  of  excessive 
individual  independence. 

Large  attention  is  given — and  positively  required  by  the  mission — 
to  the  study  of  the  language.  In  the  Korean  Mission,  according  to 
the  rules  of  the  Manual,  examinations  of  younger  missionaries  are 
made  for  the  first  two  or  three  years,  on  their  attainment  in  the  lan- 
guage, the  whole  policy  of  the  Board  and  of  the  mission  requiring  strict 
attention  to  this  all-important  matter. 

Mr.  Gale,  having  been  appointed  one  of  a  committee  on  Bible 
translation  with  Mr.  Appenzeller  of  the  Methodist  Mission,  has  trans- 
lated the  Acts  of  the  Apostles.  Such  translations  are  intricate,  owing 
to  the  difference  between  the  literary  style  and  that  of  the  common 
people,  and  also  to  the  extensive  use  of  Chinese  terms  in  the  written 
language  of  Korea. 


174  KOREA. 

Church    Work  in  Seoul. 

This  is  under  the  pastoral  care  of  Rev.  D.  L.  Gifford.  The  year 
has  been  marked  by  quiet  but  steady  and  real  progress.  The  regular 
Sunday  services  have  been  maintained  with  an  average  attendance  of 
between  forty  and  fifty,  the  room  being  frequently  filled  to  its  utmost 
capacity.  The  preaching  has  been  conducted  mainly  by  two  native 
evangelists,  and  it  has  been  scriptural  and  instructive.  For  a  long 
time  singing  was  thought  to  be  inadvisable,  as  it  might  attract  atten- 
tion ;  but  it  now  forms  an  interesting  part  of  the  service.  The  Lord's 
Supper  has  been  administered  quarterly,  the  largest  number  present 
of  the  native  communicants  at  any  one  time  being  23.  Thus  far  our 
entire  church  membership  in  Korea  has  been  enrolled  under  the  church 
at  Seoul,  and  during  the  year  21  new  members  have  been  received, 
including  5  persons  baptized  in  Kui  Ju,  and  1  from  An  San.  Five  of 
the  twenty-one  were  women.  Besides  these,  62  have  been  enrolled  as 
applicants  for  baptism.  All  of  these  have  been  assigned  to  members 
of  the  mission  for  systematic  instruction. 

A  Bible-class,  with  an  attendance  of  18,  has  been  carried  on  by 
Mr.  Gifford.  A  Sunday-school  for  boys,  numbering  25  pupils,  has 
been  established. 

A  winter  theological  class  has  been  held  for  the  benefit  of  the 
native  helpers  in  Seoul  and  in  outstations.  It  has  been  under  the 
superintendence  of  Mr.  GirTord,  who  has  been  aided  by  Mr.  Moffett 
and  Mr.  Gale.  On  the  first  Sabbath  after  the  assembling  of  the  class 
the  Communion  was  observed,  at  which  time  ten  believers  were  taken 
into  the  church.  The  members  of  this  class,  together  with  the  more 
advanced  Christians  of  Seoul,  have  been  encouraged  to  spend  their 
Sundays  in  Christian  work  in  different  parts  of  the  city. 

In  addition  to  his  pastoral  duties,  the  work  of  the  treasury  has 
fallen  to  Mr.  Gifford,  and  has  necessarily  made  large  demands  upon 
his  tune. 

In  evangelistic  work,  aside  from  a  tour  with  Mr.  Moffett  in  Northern 
Korea,  Mr.  Gale  has  devoted  much  time  to  visitors  at  his  sarang 
(guest-house  or  preaching-place).  It  is  found  that  the  sarang  is  in 
Korea  a  necessary  institution  for  the  successful  prosecution  of  the 
work.  It  is  chapel  and  conversation  room,  according  to  the  numbers 
who  are  present ;  and  whether  coming  from  curiosity  or  from  a  deeper 
interest,  the  natives  are  taught  the  way  of  hope. 

Outstation   Work. 

This  department  of  work  has  been  full  of  interest,  and  it  is  regarded 
as  especially  important  in  a  country  like  Korea,  where  the  great 
interior  is  scarcely  touched,  and  where,  as  compared  with  the  open 
ports,  or  the  capital,  the  interior  cities  may  be  expected  to  yield  the 
most  abundant  fruits  to  missionary  labor.  Mr.  Moffett,  Mr.  Baird, 
and  Mr.  Gale  have  from  the  first  shown  great  interest  in  aggressive 
pioneer  work.  During  the  year  Mr.  Moffett  has  done  considerable 
itinerating  in  Northern  Korea,  accompanied  by  a  native  evangelist, 
and  once  by  Mr.  Gale.    A  number  of  towns  and  villages  were  visited, 


KOREA.  175 

among  which  were  Eui  Ju,  Gensan,  Kon  Syeng,  Pyeng  Yang,  and 
Chyang  Yen.  In  the  fall  Mr.  Gifford  made  a  five  weeks'  itinerating 
trip  in  the  south. 

During  the  year  Mr.  Baird  has  established  a  new  station  at  Fusan 
on  the  coast,  in  the  southeastern  part  of  the  peninsula,  where  property 
has  been  secured  through  the  kindly  intervention  of  the  U.  S.  Minister, 
Hon.  Augustine  Heard.  This  is  destined  to  become  a  gate  of  en- 
trance from  Japan,  being  but  a  comparatively  short  sail  from  Nagasaki. 
Mr.  and  Mrs.  Baird  have  taken  up  their  residence  there,  and  a  house 
for  their  accommodation  has  been  erected.  It  is  expected  that 
this  will  be  little  more  thr>n  a  base  of  operation  for  missionary 
work  in  interior  cities  which  are  not  far  distant,  but  which  are 
of  far  more  importance  in  extent  of  population  and  general  prom- 
ise of  results.  Fusan  is,  to  a  large  extent,  a  Japanese  city,  and  is 
likely  to  become  so  disturbed,  and  more  or  less  demoralized,  by  foreign 
contact,  as  to  have  in  itself  but  comparatively  little  promise  from 
a  missionary  standpoint.  Yet,  it  is  all-important  as  a  point  of  depart- 
ure for  work  in  the  interior.  One  of  the  letters  received  from  the 
mission  says  :  "  Fusan  is  the  door  to  the  large  province  of  Kyeng 
Syang  Do,  and  cities  like  Ta-Kou  and  Kyeng  choo  are  what  we 
ultimately  wish  to  reach.  The  south  of  Korea  is  the  most  populous, 
and  by  far  the  hardest  to  work  in.  The  language  has  a  sound  that  is 
hard  for  the  ear  to  catch;  so  that  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Baird  have  before 
them  no  easy  task  in  opening  up  that  region."  The  Koreans  of  that 
province  are  said  to  receive  the  truth  readily,  but,  like  the  seed  on  the 
stony  ground,  it  soon  withers  away.  There  are  many  listeners,  but 
few  believers.  Nevertheless,  some  are  becoming  savingly  interested. 
Mr.  Haitd,  in  addition  to  learning  the  language,  has  found  his  hands 
quite  full  with  the  care  of  erecting  the  mission  house.  The  difficulty 
of  such  an  enterprise  can  only  be  understood  by  those  who  have 
undertaken  this  kind  of  work  in  a  country  where  competent  and 
reliable  mechanics  are  so  difficult  to  find.  Notwithstanding  these 
drawbacks,  he  has  been  able  to  accomplish  something  along  the  line 
of  evangelistic  work.  His  report  says:  "When  not  prevented,  I  have 
had  a  service  every  Sabbath  with  the  Korean  teachers.  I  have  also 
gone  to  the  surrounding  villages  into  some  of  the  few  houses  into 
which  entrance  could  be  gotten,  and  attempted  to  teach  some  of  the 
first  things.  We  cannot  claim  to  have  done  more  than  let  the  Korean 
community  know  that  we  are  there  to  teach  a  new  religion  different 
from  the  Roman  Catholic."  Mrs.  Baird  has  made  a  beginning  in 
▼isiting  the  homes  of  the  women. 

Eui  Ju,  lying  near  the  western  border,  almost  on  the  line  of  Man- 
churia, is  regarded  as  in  many  respects  one  of  the  most  promising  of 
the  fields  that  are  now  inviting  the  labor  of  our  mission.  It  is  evident 
that  Korea  must  be  worked  from  three  or  four  treaty  ports  as  bases  of 
operation,  while  the  different  missionary  societies  entering  the  field 
must  expect  to  find  their  chief  success  in  interior  cities  and  their  out- 
lying country  districts.  Probably  Eui  Ju  must,  for  the  time,  be 
worked  from  Seoul,  by  one  or  two  missionaries  spending  two  or  three 
months  at  a  time,  co-operating  with  and  directing  their  native  preach- 


1/6  KOREA. 

ers.  This  tentative  occupation  will,  it  is  hoped,  lead  to  a  permanent 
settlement  at  that  point.  Eui  Ju  has  heen  visited  by  missionaries 
twice  during  the  year.  Five  persons,  including  two  women,  were 
baptized  at  this  point,  and  the  entire  enrolled  membership  of  this  sub- 
station is  34.  At  the  last  communion  season  held  there  9  native 
Christians  participated.  A  small  house  has  been  purchased  as  the  resi- 
dence and  headquarters  of  a  native  preacher,  and  also  a  temporary 
stopping-place  for  missionaries  while  visiting  the  field. 

Gensan,  on  the  east  coast,  is  open  to  foreigners  as  a  treaty  port. 
This,  like  Fusan,  is  merely  a  gate  of  entrance  to  important  cities  in 
the  interior.  It  has  not  yet  been  opened  as  a  mission  station,  but  our 
missionaries  are  hoping  to  occupy  it  at  an  early  day.  Mr.  Moffett,  in 
describing  a  trip  through  the  region  in  which  Gensan  is  situated,  says  : 
"  Finding  it  impossible,  as  well  as  undesirable,  to  go  clear  across  the 
north,  we  came  down  through  the  middle  of  Korea  to  the  east,  reach- 
ing Ham  Heung,  the  capital  of  the  province,  and  on  the  way  from 
there  stopping  at  Gensan,  the  eastern  treaty  port.  In  this  region  we 
found  what  we  consider  the  most  beautiful,  most  wealthy,  and  appar- 
ently the  most  prosperous  region  of  Korea,  and  we  feel  the  importance 
of  opening  work  there  as  soon  as  the  work  already  begun  has  proper 
oversight,  and  the  places  more  imperatively  demanding  men  are  sup- 
plied." 

Kon  Syeng  is  an  interior  place  of  importance.  Kim  Ni  Ryun  has 
been  in  charge  of  the  work  in  this  mountain  region,  though  without 
pay,  and  he  is  reported  as  having  done  his  work  faithfully  and  well. 
Nine  additional  applicants  for  baptism  were  enrolled  upon  the  last 
missionary  visit,  making  19  in  all.  These  people  are  said  to  be  earn- 
estly studying  the  Word  of  God,  while  the  question  of  their  baptism 
is  held  unsettled. 

In  the  Province  of  Pyeng  An  are  various  small  points  where  occa- 
sional preaching  has  been  done.  At  Pyeng  Yang,  the  capital,  four 
applicants  for  baptism  have  been  enrolled,  and  a  class  of  seven,  whose 
members  reside  in  small  outlying  villages,  has  been  formed  for  the 
study  of  the  truth. 

Chyang  Yen  is  another  important  station,  where  is  an  enrolled  church 
membership  of  15,  though  all  are  not  residing  within  the  city.  Mr. 
Moffett  and  Dr.  Brown  are  looking  forward  with  much  hope  to  a  pro- 
longed summer  work  in  this  northern  region,  where  the  people  listen 
with  much  apparent  interest  to  the  truth,  and  numerous  applications 
for  baptism  are  made. 

Educational  Work. 

The  Boys'  School  in  Seoul  has  been  under  the  care  of  Rev.  S.  A. 
Moffett.  It  has  made  substantial  progress  in  several  respects.  It 
began  as  an  orphanage,  but  has  been  much  more  successful  by  the 
change  of  policy  which  made  it  a  boys'  school,  in  which  pupils  are 
expected  to  pay  the  whole  or  a  part  of  the  expense  of  their  instruction. 
During  the  year  24  have  been  enrolled  in  this  school,  18  of  whom 
remained  to  the  close  of  the  year.  Only  ten  of  these  were  both  fed 
and  clothed,  the  others  furnishing  partial  or  entire   support.     The 


KOREA.  1/7 

course  of  study  has  included  the  Bible  in  the  Chinese  language,  and 
also  the  Chinese  classics.  This  is  for  the  reason  that  the  Chinese  is, 
to  a  very  large  extent,  the  educational  language  of  Korea.  The 
younger  boys  have  been  taught  the  introductory  Chinese  books,  with 
the  Ten  Commandments,  Three  Character  Christian  Classic,  and 
"  Life  of  Jesus  in  Verse."  The  examinations  at  the  close  of  the 
school  year  were  of  a  very  satisfactory  character.  On  Sundays  instruc- 
tion has  been  given  in  the  Bible  and  in  the  Catechism,  the  school 
taking  the  form  of  a  Sunday-school.  Four  of  the  boys  are  members 
of  the  church,  two  having  been  received  during  the  year.  The  fact 
that  five  of  the  new  boys  were  sent  by  their  Christian  relatives  is 
thought  to  show  a  growing  confidence  in  the  school.  The  question  of 
establishing  an  industrial  department  is  being  considered. 

The  Girls'  School  during  the  year  has  been  under  the  care  of  Miss 
Susan  A.  Doty.  The  number  in  attendance  has  been  10.  On  Sun- 
days Miss  Doty  has  conducted  a  Sunday-school  for  the  girls.  An 
interesting  feature  of  the  school  is  the  constant  attendance  of  the 
women  who  come  to  visit  it.  About  two  hundred  of  those  who  have 
thus  been  present,  more  or  less,  have  listened  very  intelligently,  and 
with  apparent  interest,  to  the  presentation  of  the  Gospel.  Two  of  the 
girls  have  been  received  into  the  church. 

Medical  Work. 

Dr.  Vinton  has  had  charge  of  the  Government  Hospital  during  the 
year,  which,  notwithstanding  various  restrictions  placed  upon  evangel- 
istic work  in  connection  with  the  institution,  is  believed  to  place  the 
mission  upon  a  favorable  vantage  ground  of  influence  with  the  Govern- 
ment and  with  the  native  community,  inasmuch  as  it  identifies  the 
missionaries  with  the  physical  relief  and  temporal  as  well  as  spiritual 
welfare  of  the  people.  The  whole  history  of  our  work  in  Korea  has 
given  assurance  that  the  Gospel  does  not  ignore  the  bodily  distresses 
of  men,  but  bears  with  it  relief  of  physical  suffering  as  well  as  of  the 
evils  of  sin.  At  the  same  time  Dr.  Vinton  has  carried  on  a  dispensary 
work  in  a  room  of  his  own  house  since  September  ist.  The  statistics 
of  this  dispensary  for  four  months  are  as  follows  : 

Days  of  attendance 85 

Whole  number  of  patients  treated 187 

Number  returning  a  second  time 107 

Number  of  minor  surgical  operations 6 

A  number  of  patients  were  also  treated  at  the  village  of  Nam  Han 
duiing  a  summer  vacation.  To  most  of  these,  and  to  many  of  those 
who  attended  tne  dispensary  at  his  house,  Dr.  Vinton  has  made  known 
the  offer  of  salvation  in  Christ,  and  in  some  cases  religious  books  have 
been  given  or  sold.  By  all  accounts,  Dr.  Vinton  has  gained  constantly 
in  his  hold  upon  the  confidence  and  sympaihies  of  the  people,  and 
new  evidence  is  furnished  that  the  medical  work  is  of  value,  as  secur- 
ing an  open  door  for  the  preaching  of  the  Gospel.

Work  among  Women. 

!  Mrs.  Heron's  work  among  the  women  has  been  continued  with 
efficiency.  A  new  teaching  station  was  opened  during  the  year  in  the 
eastern  part  of  the  city,  where  no  Christian  work  had  previously  been 
done.  There  has  been  a  good  attendance  from  the  first,  more  than 
twenty  women  being  sometimes  present.  Three  of  the  attendants 
professed  faith  in  Christ  during  the  year,  and  wished  to  be  taken  into 
the  church.  According  to  the  rule  of  the  mission  they  were  kept  .on 
probation  for  six  months.  Meantime,  one  of  them  was  married,  and 
removed  to  the  country,  but  obtained  the  Scriptures  and  such  tracts 
as  were  available,  in  order  that  she  might  teach  her  countrywomen  in 
her  new  home.  By  using  a  magic-lantern  to  illustrate  Bible  scenes, 
Mrs.  Heron  so  increased  the  number  of  attendants  that  the  home  of 
the  poor  widow,  who  had  opened  her  doors  for  the  meetings,  seemed  in 
danger  of  injury  from  the  press  of  the  crowd.  Moreover,  prejudice 
was  aroused  in  the  neighborhood,  and  the  meetings  were  at  length 
suspended.  A  number  of  women,  however,  have  shown  their  interest 
by  walking  across  the  entire  city  to  be  instructed  by  Mrs.  Heron  at 
her  house.  A  daily  Bible-class  has  been  maintained,  attended  by 
eight  or  ten  women.  Four  of  the  number  are  believed  to  be  earnest 
Christians ;  the  fifth  is  deeply  interested.  Mrs.  Heron  has  held  a  class 
on  Sundays  for  the  instruction  of  applicants  for  baptism.  She  has 
twenty  families  on  her  visiting  list.  Verses  of  Scripture  printed  upon 
bright  paper,  which  attract  the  eye,  have  been  distributed  ;  also  por- 
tions of  the  Bible  and  copies  of  the  New  Testament. 

The  sphere  assigned  by  the  mission  to  Mrs.  Gifford  was  work 
among  the  women  of  a  particular  district  of  the  city.  She  has  held  a 
weekly  meeting  at  her  house.  She  has  been  assisted  by  two  native 
women.  The  average  attendance  at  the  weekly  meetings  has  been 
37.     Mrs.  Gifford  has  also  assisted  in  the  care  of  the  Girls'  School. 

Led  by  the  munificent  offers  of  a  devoted  friend  of  the  Korea  Mis- 
sion, the  Board  has  resolved  to  make  substantial  enlargements  in  the 
mission  force  during  the  coming  year.

Faithful  work  has  been  done  during  the  year  in  all  departments  of 
the  mission  in  Southern  Mexico,  though  the  statistics  of  the  churches 
indicate  not  an  advance,  but  a  serious  falling  off,  especially  in  church 
membership.  The  deficiency  occurs  almost  wholly  at  the  Vera  Cruz 
station,  where  the  population  is  constantly  fluctuating,  and  where  the 
membership  of  the  church,  which  had  long  been  under  the  care  of 
Rev.  Mr.  Quesada,  though  he  had  tried  to  observe  strict  rules  in  ad- 
mitting members,  had  for  years  shown  great  disparity  between  the 
total  enrollment  and  the  number  of  actual  residents.  It  was  decided 
during  the  last  year  to  make  a  reduction  of  the  roll,  similar  to  that 
which  is  often  made  in  churches  of  our  own  land.  This  caused  a  fall- 
ing off  in  total  membership  of  over  400.  While  there  is  an  increased 
interest  shown  in  the  Republic  in  the  education  of  both  sexes,  there 
seems  to  be,  by  all  accounts,  a  general  apathy  in  the  churches.  The  in- 
crease of  material  prosperity,  and  the  general  secularization  that  attends 
the  new  era  in  Mexico,  are  apparently  absorbing  the  minds  of  the 
people,  and  there  is  reason  to  believe,  also,  that  the  skepticism,  which 
is  everywhere  active  and  aggressive  under  various  forms  at  the  pres- 
ent time,  finds  less  resistance  in  a  country  like  Mexico  than  in  the 
United  States,  where  the  settled  order  of  church  life  and  a  prevailing 
religious  sentiment  exert  their  strong  conservative  influence.  Dr. 
Greene's  report  describes  this  condition  in  the  following  words  :  "  As 


l8o  MEXICO,   SOUTH. 

to  our  work  in  general,  it  must  be  said  that  we  have  fallen  upon  times 
of  peculiar  discouragement,  which  is  being  felt  in  all  the  missions. 
Perhaps  never  was  seen  more  lethargy  and  supineness  on  the  part  of 
our  native  ministry,  nor  more  cases  of  defection  among  our  native 
Christians.  With  the  new  era  of  progress  in  financial  and  material 
interests,  and  with  the  drifting  away  from  Romish  faith  and  practices, 
have  come  to  Mexico  a  period  of  licentiousness  in  faith  and  morals, 
and  a  materialism  in  thought  and  conduct  unexampled  hitherto.  The 
liberal  movement  is  a  free-thinking  movement,  with  a  most  decided 
prejudice  against  the  Bible  and  Christianity,  as  having  been  the  curse 
of  the  country  in  centuries  past.  All  this  has,  no  doubt,  greatly  tried 
our  native  ministers  and  laymen,  and  will  largely  account  for  the  little 
fruit  discernible  in  our  statistics  for  the  last  year." 

The  activity  of  the  Roman  Catholic  Church  in  Mexico,  and  the 
Jesuitical  means  which  are  used  to  create  impressions  favorable  to  the 
hierarchy  and  injurious  to  Protestantism,  are  illustrated  in  a  statement 
which  appeared  in  El  Tiempo,  the  Jesuit  organ,  in  the  late  autumn. 
This  paper  declared  that  Protestants  have  never  sent  aid  for  the  relief 
of  physical  suffering  in  times  of  flood  or  famine  or  other  physical  dis- 
tress. In  reply  to  this  falsehood  our  missionaries  published  the  fol- 
lowing in  The  Two  Republics,  a  liberal  paper  of  the  same  city  : 

"  During  the  year  ending  April  30,  1878,  sums  amounting  to  over 
$18,000  were  contributed  for  the  China  famine,  and  Russo-Turkish 
War.  During  the  year  ending  April  30,  1880,  $20,450  were  sent 
to  aid  the  sufferers  from  famine  in  Persia.  Since  1880  up  to  date, 
$13 .500  have  been  sent  to  China  for  sufferers  from  famine.  This  makes 
a  total  of  about  $52,000  contributed  through  one  organization  (the 
Presbyterian  Board  of  Foreign  Missions)  since  1878." 

There  can  be  no  doubt  that  the  Roman  Catholic  Church  in  Mexico 
has,  in  a  great  measure,  regained  its  former  prestige.  It  is  said  that 
the  losses  occasioned  by  the  confiscation  of  property  at  the  time  of  the 
re-establishment  of  the  Republic  under  Juarez  have,  to  a  large  extent, 
been  recovered,  and  that  financially  the  Church  is  in  a  stronger  posi- 
tion than  ever  before.  The  forced  sales  which  were  made  at  that  time 
brought  returns  of  money,  and  although  the  amounts  were  far  less  than 
those  of  former  landed  estates,  yet  by  judicious  investments  they  have 
again  placed  the  Church  in  a  position  of  power.  It  is  even  claimed 
that  the  Mexican  Church  has  greater  resources  than  the  Government. 
Meanwhile,  the  hierarchy  has  placed  various  prohibitions  upon  the 
people,  the  effect  of  which  is  to  nullify  the  Government  authority. 
For  example,  the  law  requiring  a  civil  contract  in  marriage  has  been 
evaded  by  priestly  order  forbidding  such  marriage.  Catholics  have 
also  been,  forbidden  to  occupy  or  invest  in  church  property  which  had 
been  confiscated,  and  in  many  ways  the  craft  of  the  priesthood  has 
thwarted  the  laws,  and  enriched  the  treasury  of  the  Church.  Many 
times  in  the  history  of  the  Republic  revolutions  have  been  incited  by 
the  Church  party.  And  but  for  the  conservative  influence  of  com- 
merce, the  large  investments  of  capital,  which  always  tend  to  prevent 
revolution,  the  network  of  railroads,  and  the  complication  brought 
about  by  foreign  intercourse  and  influence,  there  would  be  reason  to

ear  'that  ere  very  long  the  Church  in  Mexico  may  use  its  influence, 
together  with  its  great  wealth,  to  effect  governmental  changes  which 
may  promise  an  increase  of  ecclesiastical  power. 

Field  Work. 

Dr.  Greene  was  withdrawn  from  his  post  during  the  first  three 
months  of  the  year  1891,  on  leave  of  absence,  granted  him  on  account 
of  ill  health.  On  his  return  to  Mexico,  late  in  March,  he  proceeded 
to  Yucatan,  where  he  spent  a  season  of  encouraging  labor,  especially 
in  the  city  of  Merida,  where  large  congregations  of  earnest  listeners 
welcomed  him,  and  where  the  growth  and  prosperity  of  the  work 
seemed  to  demand  the  formation  of  a  second  congregation  in  a  suburb 
of  the  city.  Returning  from  this  trip  to  the  City  of  Mexico,  he  also 
visited  Vera  Cruz,  Jalapa,  Toluca,  Capulhuac,  San  Lorenzo,  and 
Ozumba. 

The  work  which  has  devolved  upon  Dr.  Greene  in  the  City  of 
Mexico  has  been  manifold,  inasmuch  as  he  is  treasurer  of  the  mission, 
and  has  charge  of  the  disbursement  of  all  salaries  and  other  expend- 
itures in  the  southern  field,  where  the  number  of  preachers,  teachers, 
helpers,  and  students  is  very  large.  He  has  also  had  principal  charge 
of  El  Faro,  which  now  issues  3,000  copies,  and  the  editing  of  the  les- 
son leaves.  He  has  spent  a  part  of  his  time  upon  a  translation  of  Dr. 
Alexander  Mair's  "Studies  in  Christian  Evidences,"  a  book  of  400 
pages.  He  has  also  given  more  or  less  instruction  in  the  Theological 
Seminary.  It  is  with  regret  that  the  Board  learns  that  these  multiplied 
duties  are  again  affecting  the  health  of  this  faithful  missionary,  and 
imperatively  demanding  relief  and  rest. 

Mr.  Brown  during  the  early  part  of  the  year  1891  was  placed  in 
charge  of  the  work  of  Dr.  Greene  ;  also  for  nine  months  he  gave 
instruction  in  the  Seminary  at  Tlalpam,  and  made  two  visits  to  out- 
stations.  One  of  these  was  to  the  State  of  Michoacan,  in  which  he 
visited  most  of  the  principal  places.  The  general  condition  of  the 
churches  was  not  such  as  he  had  hoped  to  find.  As  a  rule,  spiritual 
apathy  and  indifference  seemed  to  rest  upon  the  congregations.  The 
preaching  of  the  Word  has  not  been  met  by  the  earnest  response 
which  was  often  witnessed  in  days  gone  by.  He  found,  however,  an 
increasing  interest  in  education,  and  here  and  there  little  congrega- 
tions showed  an  earnest  spirit  in  many  ways.  In  Tuxpan  the  mission 
property  was  being  renovated,  and  in  Aguacate  a  fine  large  room  had 
been  given  for  church  services.  In  a  few  other  places  an  earnest 
desire  to  hear  the  Gospel  was  manifest,  and  on  the  last  Sunday  of  his 
tour  ten  members  were  received  into  the  communion  of  the  church  in 
Zitacuaro.  Two  of  them  were  men  who  hoped  to  study  for  the 
ministry. 

A  visit  was  also  made  during  the  month  of  January  to  the  State  of 
Hidalgo,  where  he  found  a  general  l?ck  of  growth,  and  the  same 
apathetic  spirit  which  he  had  witnessed  in  Michoacan.  It  was  gratify- 
ing, however,  to  note  that  wherever  the  young  men  called  away  from 
the  Seminary  had  been  employed  there  was  an  indication  of  more 


MEXICO,    SOUTH.  1 83 

life ;  the  work  appeared  to  have  been  revived,  and  Mr.  Brown's  heart 
was  filled  with  gratitude  for  the  blessing  thus  given  through  the  theo- 
logical students.  In  Milpas  Viejas  the  work  begun  a  year  ago  was 
prospering.  The  school-house  was  well  filled  by  an  attentive  audience. 
Some  material  had  been  collected  toward  the  erection  of  a  house  of 
worship,  and  a  site  selected  for  the  new  edifice.  Mr.  Brown  was  also 
encouraged  by  the  general  thrift  of  the  day-schools  taught  by  the 
young  women  who  have  been  trained  up  as  teachers. 

In  Jiliapan  the  annual  examinations  in  the  day-school  were  attended 
by  the  Government  inspector,  who  pronounced  them  more  satisfactory 
than  those  of  the  Government  school,  and  it  was  gratifying  to  know 
that  Miss  Belen  Labastida,  to  whom  double  her  present  salary  had 
been  offered  for  a  Government  position,  had  declined  the  offer,  reply- 
ing that  she  had  been  educated  by  the  mission,  and  desired  to  show 
her  gratitude  by  continuing  at  her  post.  Her  pay  is  only  $8  a  month 
in  depreciated  Mexican  currency. 

Educational  Work. 

The  Theological  Seminary  at  Tlalpam. — The  Theological  Seminary 
at  Tlalpam  has  been  much  under  discussion  in  the  mission  during  the 
last  year ;  its  successes  and  discouragements  have  been  carefully 
considered  and  weighed  together.  The  chief  of  its  difficulties  from 
the  first  has  been  that  the  demand  for  laborers  is  so  great,  and  the 
call  of  the  mission  so  imperative,  that  the  older  and  more  thoroughly 
furnished  young  men  are  prematurely  taken  from  their  studies  and  set 
over  small  country  congregations.  This  is  a  difficulty  that  is  deplor- 
able, as  it  prevents,  in  most  cases,  a  completion  of  the  excellent  cur- 
riculum which  the  institution  presents.  It  is  from  this  cause  that  only 
one  fully  trained  theological  graduate  appears  in  the  report  of  this 
year.  This  young  man  has  completed  the  full  six  years'  course.  He 
has  also  rendered  valuable  help  in  teaching  primary  classes.  There 
are,  however,  eight  or  nine  reported  who  will  pursue  the  Theological 
Course  proper  during  the  year  to  come.  The  remaining  twenty-five 
or  twenty-six  young  men  enrolled  will  continue  in  the  Preparatory 
Department.  While  this  inability  of  the  mission  to  bring  its  students 
up  to  the  required  standard  is  greatly  to  be  regretted,  the  opposite 
alternative  is  scarcely  less  grave,  namely,  that  of  leaving  many  con- 
gregations wholly  destitute  of  the  me  ins  of  grace.  The  San  Luis 
Potosi  field  reports  six  congregations  as  wholly  without  pastoral  care ; 
only  two  out  of  eight  stations  are  supplied.  Several  of  those  con- 
nected with  the  Mexico  City  station  are  in  the  same  condition.  These 
facts  show  that  the  spirit  of  inquiry  and  of  general  interest  in  Prot- 
estant Christianity  is  so  widespread  as  to  altogether  transcend  the 
means  which  the  mission  has  at  hand  either  of  men  or  of  money.  The 
field  is  like  a  large  ranch,  whose  resources  of  cultivation  are  scarcely 
adequate  to  the  requirements  of  a  small  one.  The  question  might  be 
raised,  whether  it  is  not  the  duty  of  a  mission  to  shorten  its  lines  and 
contract  its  work.  This  were  easy  as  a  bare  suggestion,  but  to  haul 
down  the  standard  where  it  has  been  reared  by  undeniable  indications 


1 84  MEXICO,    SOUTH. 

of  Providence  and  the  actual  requests  of  the  people  is  a  hard  task, 
with  which  neither  the  mission  nor  the  Board  feels  able  to  grapple. 
There  has  been  during  the  year  a  disposition  to  apply  rigidly  a  due 
discrimination  in  the  choice  of  men.  Eight  men  have  left  the  Train- 
ing School,  of  whom  only  three  removed  on  account  of  ill  health ;  five 
because  they  were  unable  to  make  progress  in  their  studies. 

Dr.  Thomson,  in  addition  to  the  instruction  given  in  the  Seminary, 
has,  during  the  year,  rendeied  valuable  service  in  the  preparation  of 
various  books  required  for  the  school,  and  also  in  a  revision  of  the 
Spanish  Bible,  which  is  being  made  by  the  American  Bible  Society. 
Rev.  H.  B.  Pratt,  agent  of  this  society,  and  specially  entrusted  with  this 
work,  has  presented  to  the  Board  a  letter  acknowledging  with  high 
praise  the  co-operation  of  Dr.  Thomson,  without  which  he  deems  it 
well-nigh  impossible  that  the  work  could  have  been  carried  forward  to 
successful  accomplishment.  Considering  that  the  young  men  trained 
in  this  institution  are  likely,  in  the  providence  of  God,  to  constitute 
the  main  reliance  and  the  hope  of  the  Mexican  churches  in  the  years 
to  come,  and,  realizing  the  importance,  not  only  of  thorough  intel- 
lectual preparation  and  Biblical  furnishing,  but  of  an  earnest  and 
devoted  spirit,  it  is  impossible  to  urge  too  strongly  upon  the  churches 
the  need  of  prayer  for  the  baptism  of  the  Holy  Ghost,  not  only  now, 
but  throughout  its  entire  future. 

It  may  be  of  interest  to  add  that  the  young  men,  beside  a  Literary 
Society,  have  organized  a  Christian  Endeavor  Society. 

The  Girls'  Normal  School. — One  of  the  best  and  most  satisfactory 
enterprises  undertaken  by  the  women  of  the  church  was  the  purchase 
of  the  property  for  the  establishment  of  the  Girls'  Normal  School  in 
the  City  of  Mexico.  The  recent  field  report  rendered  by  Misses 
Bartlett  and  De  Baun  gives  the  number  of  students  in  attendance  the 
last  year  as  45  boarders  and  29  day  pupils,  with  an  average  attend- 
ance of  63.  The  health,  both  of  the  teachers  and  of  the  scholars, 
has  been  good.  The  report  says  :  "  There  have  been  only  two  deaths 
in  ten  years,  and  that  in  a  city  whose  death-rate  is  325  per  week.  In 
the  last  five  years  no  death  has  occurred,  and  there  has  been  no  seri- 
ous illness The  guiding  hand  of  Providence  must  have  di- 
rected in  the  selection  of  this  property.  The  house  is  in  the  most 
healthful  and  beautiful  part  of  the  city.  It  stands  on  a  corner,  and 
has  a  broad,  open  courtyard,  so  that  every  room  can  have  plenty  of 
air  and  sunshine.  The  doors  on  the  courtyard  stand  open  all  day 
during  the  entire  year,  for  the  climate  is  always  like  spring."  The 
property  has  increased  in  value  considerably  above  the  entire  cost,  in- 
cluding alterations  and  improvements.  There  is  no  reason  to  suppose 
that  this  may  not  for  many  years  be  a  source  of  blessing  to  the  women 
of  Mexico.  Twelve  graduates  of  this  school  either  are,  or  have  been, 
in  the  actual  work  of  teaching.  The  institution  has  enabled  the  Board 
to  stand  almost  entirely  upon  the  principle  that  day-schools  are  to  be 
taught  by  native  teachers.  This  is  an  economical  policy  where  it  can 
be  successfully  carried  out,  and  should  I  e  ma'ntained,  if  possible,  in  a 
country  where  all  forms  of  work  are  exceptionally  expensive.  The 
instruction  given  in   this  school  is  upon  the  lines  of  scientific  educa-

tion,  as  taught  in  the  normal  schools  of  our  own  country,  both  of  the 
teachers  having  had  their  education  in  institutions  of  this  kind.  By 
this  means  a  thorough  work  is  done,  and  the  best  methods  are  illus- 
trated in  the  day-school  system  adopted  by  the  mission.  The  young 
lady  who  refused  an  offer  from  the  Government  of  double  the 
amount  of  her  present  salary,  was  educated  at  this  school.  Another 
girl,  still  in  her  course  of  study,  has  received  a  like  offer  to  take 
charge  of  a  Government  school,  but  she,  also,  has  declined,  as  she 
is  resolved  to  complete  her  education.  The  report  contains  an 
interesting  appeal  made  by  a  girl  who  has  just  graduated  and  who 
desires  to  enter  upon  the  work  of  teaching  ;  but  either  from  want 
of  funds  or  other  cause,  the  mission  has  not  as  yet  offered  her  a 
place.  Her  appeal  is  full  of  a  genuine  Christian  spirit,  and  a  desire 
to  make  the  work  of  teaching  a  means  of  advancing  the  cause  of  her 
Master.  There  ought  to  be  not  only  an  enlarged  number  of  earnest 
Christian  young  women  trained  at  this  school,  and  at  the  twin  institu- 
tion at  Saltillo,  Northern  Mexico,  but  the  means  ought  to  be  liberally 
furnished  for  employing  the  graduates  when  they  shall  have  been  fitted 
for  earnest  Christian  work.  There  is  in  these  opportunities  thus 
afforded,  an  attractive  challenge  to  the  missionary  zeal  of  Christian 
women  in  our  more  favored  Republic.  The  course  of  study  indicated 
in  the  report  forwarded  by  Miss  Bartlett  is  high,  and  there  is  every 
evidence  that  the  work  has  been  conscientiously  and  thoroughly  per- 
formed in  all  branches.  The  examination  at  the  close  of  the  year  was 
most  successful.  The  utmost  harmony  has  prevailed  in  the  school 
and  altogether  the  year  has  been  one  of  great  prosperity.  The  spirit 
of  Christian  activity  inculcated  in  the  school  is  well  illustrated  in  the 
formation  of  a  Christian  Endeavor  Society  with  28  active  members. 
This  has  been  its  first  year.  The  prayer-meeting  conducted  by  the 
young  girls  has  been  held  on  every  Sunday  afternoon,  and  besides  the 
members,  nearly  all  the  other  pupils  attended  regularly  and  showed 
much  interest.  Twenty-eight  of  the  girls  are  members  of  the  church  • 
this  number  includes  all  in  the  first,  second,  third,  and  fourth  grades, 
and  all  but  two  in  the  fifth.  This  certainly  is  a  remarkable  exhibit, 
and  there  is  occasion  for  gratitude  on  the  part  of  all  those  who  are 
pra)ing  for  the  spiritual  interest  of  the  school.  Three  girls  were  dis- 
missed during  the  year.  One  was  not  studious,  another  lacked  intelli- 
gence, and  a  third  was  morally  unworthy.  A  large  proportion  of  the 
pupils  are  from  the  State  of  Guerrero,  and  these,  as  a  rule,  are  very 
satisfactory,  intellectually  and  otherwise.  In  almost  all  cases  they 
lead  their  classes,  and  are  the  most  earnest  and  active  in  Christian 
work.  This  is  a  matter  of  interest  in  view  of  the  fact  that  in  Guer- 
rero the  most  bitter  and  bloody  persecutions  of  Protestants  have  been 
endured  from  the  first  establishment  of  our  work  in  that  State  nearly 
twenty  years  ago.  It  is  significant  that  only  three  of  the  boarders  are 
from  Mexico  City.  This  is  a  fact  that  denotes  a  healthy  condition  (  f 
the  school,  inasmuch  as  it  shows  that  local  residents  are  not  taking 
advantage  of  the  boarding  department  in  order  to  secure  the  suppoit 
of  their  daughters.  Four  young  ladies  graduated  ;  a  fifth  would  have 
done  so,  but  that  she  was  called  away  on  account  of  ill  health.     Two

of  the  four  have  commenced  teaching.  "  The  other  two,"  says  the 
report,  "though  as  capable  as  the  first,  are  unemployed,  not  because 
there  is  no  place  for  them,  but  because  the  mission  is  so  short  of  funds 
that  their  salaries  cannot  be  paid."

The  Saltillo  Field. 

Northfern  Mexico  has  suffered  during  the  last  year  in  an  unusual 
degree  rom  famine  and  consequent  poverty  of  the  people.  The 
laboring  classes,  always  embarrassed  by  the  difficulty  of  obtaining  the 
means  of  subsistence,  have  found  it  necessary  to  remove  from  place 
to  place  wherever  they  could  obtain  work  and  their  daily  bread.  The 
effect  of  this  upon  the  outslation  churches  is  always  disastrous.  The 
membership  may  be  reduced  in  a  particular  place  without  a  correspond- 
in^  increase  by  their  union  with  churches  somewhere  else.  So  long 
as  the  people  are  floating  about,  they  appear  to  have  no  ecclesiastical 
relations  anywhere,  and  unless  names  are  kept  upon  the  roll  almost 
indefinitely,  there  is  likely  to  appear  a  decrease  rather  than  a  gain.  It 
is  a  matter  of  gratitude  that  just  after  the  close  of  the  year,  as  reported, 
copious  rains  have  fallen  in  Northern  Mexico,  so  that  an  improved 
condition  of  the  country  and  all  its  interests  may  be  looked  for. 

The  report  from  the  church  in  Saltillo,  under  the  care  of  Rev.  Mr. 
Boyce,  indicates,  nevertheless,  a  good  degree  of  prosperity.  The  con- 
gregations have  been  large,  and  a  good  deal  of  interest  has  been 
manifested  in  the  truth.  During  the  year  15  persons  were  received 
into  the  communion  of  the  church,  6  of  them  by  baptism.  The  pre- 
vailing influenza,  which  seems  to  visit  all  lands,  has  greatly  affected 
the  attendance  of  the  people  upon  the  means  of  grace,  and  more  or 
less  retarded  the  advancement  of  all  religious  interest. 

The  church  in  Allende  seems  to  be  in  good  condition,  and  has 
received  9  new  members  during  the  year.  Thorough  protection  is 
granted  by  the  authorities,  and  the  congregation  is  prosperous. 

Cotorra  has  been  greatly  affected  by  an  almost  total  failure  of  the 
crops.  The  building  of  a  chapel  which  the  people  had  contemplated 
has  been  arrested  by  the  hard  times. 


MEXICO — SALTILLO.  1 87 

Three  members  were  added  to  the  church  at  Durazno.  The 
licentiate  in  charge  has  maintained  a  school  during  the  year  in  con- 
nection with  the  care  of  the  church. 

Monterey  has  enjoyed  great  temporal  prosperity  through  migration 
from  the  United  States,  and  a  consequent  quickening  of  all  secular 
enterprises,  but  all  this  has  not  improved  the  tone  of  piety  in  the 
church.  Nevertheless,  a  good  degree  of  interest  has  been  manifested 
in  securing  a  lot  for  the  church,  which  is  entirely  paid  for,  and  upon 
which  it  is  hoped  soon  to  erect  a  chapel. 

The  pastor  in  Monclova  and  all  his  family  were  stricken  down  with 
typhoid  fever  in  the  month  of  June.  This  affliction  seemed  to  be 
overruled  in  drawing  about  him  the  sympathies  of  the  people,  and  has 
rather  improved  the  spiritual  life  of  the  congregation,  as  well  as  its 
numbers.     Eight  additions  have  been  made  to  the  church. 

The  little  church  at  Patos  has  suffered  from  financial  reverses  of  its 
leading  member,  on  whom  many  of  the  congregation  depended  for 
employment.  They  have  been  obliged  to  scatter  to  other  places  to 
secure  the  means  of  a  livelihood,  and  the  church  has  greatly  suffered. 
However,  8  members  were  received  during  the  year.  An  excellent 
school  is  carried  on  in  connection  with  this  little  Hock. 

Parras  has  suffered  from  the  encroachments  and  the  proselyting  of 
the  Southern  Baptist  Mission.  One  member  only  has  been  added  to 
the  church.     Several  families  are  attending  the  services. 

In  general,  while  there  has  been  no  rapid  growth  in  any  direction,  a 
healthy  tone  has  pervaded  the  churches,  and  the  necessity  of  witness- 
ing a  good  confession  has  been  recognized  in  the  fact  that  the  mem- 
bers of  the  church,  and  especially  their  officers,  are  becoming  more 
conservative  in  admitting  new  members.  The  standard  is  raised, 
though  the  reported  accessions  may  be  less,  and  the  general  indication 
of  growth  may  suffer. 

Educational  Work. 

In  the  educational  department  of  the  work,  the  Girls'  Normal 
School  at  Saltillo  has  held  a  leading  place.  There  were  during  the 
year  28  boarders  in  the  school  and  20  day  pupils.  The  boarders  were 
gathered  from  the  entire  field  of  the  Zacatecas  Presbytery.  The  rules 
of  the  school  restrict  the  number  of  boarders  to  those  who  reside  out 
of  Saltillo  ;  local  residents  are  received  as  day  scholars.  The  boarders, 
with  rare  exception,  are  daughters  of  church  members,  and  are  care- 
fully selected  with  an  eye  to  their  future  usefulness  as  teachers  in  the 
mission  day-schools.  The  work  done  in  the  institution  seems  to  have 
been  eminently  satisfactory,  although  interrupted  by  the  ill  health  of 
Miss  Mabel  Elliott,  who  was  obliged  to  resign.  In  the  absence  of 
Miss  Elliott,  Miss  M.  L.  Hammond  has  been  employed  for  one  year 
to  assist  Miss  Wheeler  in  the  conduct  of  the  school.  The  spiritual 
tone  has  been  most  gratifying.  Ten  of  the  boarders  made  profession 
of  faith  in  Christ  during  the  year,  and  in  that  number  was  the  one  girl 
whose  parents  are  not  members  of  the  church.  During  the  vacation, 
or  since  the  close  of  the  school  year,  two  more  of  the  boarders  were 
received  into  full  membership. 


1 88  MEXICO — ZACATECAS. 

Intimately  connected  with  the  Normal  School  is  the  educational 
work  in  the  outstations.  Girls  who  have  taken  a  partial  course  in  the 
institution  are  doing  effective  work  in  a  number  of  towns  in  different 
parts  of  the  field.  These  schools  are  beginning  to  act  as  feeders  to 
the  training-school,  and  this  influence  promises  to  be  felt  more  and 
more  each  year.  Places  in  the  institution  are  now  eagerly  sought  for 
by  the  most  intelligent  of  our  Christian  people.  "The  difficulty," 
says  the  report,  "  is  to  put  off  those  we  cannot  take  ;  not  to  find  girls 
to  fill  up  our  number.  The  day-schools  enable  us,  first,  to  select  with 
greater  care  candidates  for  admission  to  the  Normal  School ;  second, 
to  extend  its  benefits  to  a  larger  number  of  girls  ;  and  third,  to  do  so  at  a 
relatively  smaller  cost,  as  the  girls  come  into  the  Normal  School  fitted 
to  enter  a  higher  grade  than  where  they  come  without  previous  train- 
ing." The  report  adds,  "  Would  that  we  were  similarly  situated  with 
reference  to  the  training  of  male  teachers  and  candidates  for  the 
ministry.  In  this  particular  we  are  terribly  handicapped.  We  have 
no  capable  Christian  male  teachers,  or  next  to  none."  There  seems 
to  be  a  need  of  primary  boys'  schools  under  competent  and  faithful 
teachers,  which  shall  accomplish  the  same  for  the  male  sex  that  the 
graduates  of  the  girls'  training-school  are  doing  for  the  girls.  Doubt- 
less a  desire  to  enter  into  secular  business  turns  aside  those  who 
might  otherwise  devote  themselves  to  faithful  Christian  work  as  teach- 
ers. In  the  revival  of  enterprise  in  Mexico  this  problem  bids  fair 
to  be  invested  with  permanent  difficulty.  "The  Government  col- 
leges of  the  different  States,"  says  Mr.  Boyce,  in  his  report,  "can  be 
utilized  to  some  extent  in  this  direction,  but  it  is  a  resort  not  by  any 
means  free  from  danger,  and,  at  most,  a  makeshift.  At  present  we 
are  availing  ourselves  of  the  State  College  in  this  city.  One  boy  will 
go  from  it  to  Tlalpam  the  present  year  ;  while  three  more  will  con- 
tinue in  it.  One  of  them  is  of  great  promise.  He  leads  his  class  by 
long  odds.  He  enters  on  his  second  year,  and  will  get  the  first  prize 
for  last  year. 

"  Educational  work  also  tells  upon  our  evangelistic  work  in  a  most 
marked  degree.  Our  Seminary  students,  generally  speaking,  are  our 
most  active,  energetic  workers,  and  our  best  preachers.  Our  day- 
schools,  also,  open  up  new  avenues  of  labor.  The  parents  are  most 
easily  reached  through  their  children,  and  the  Christian  teachers  many 
times  exert  an  influence  not  second  to  that  of  the  native  preachers. 
In  fact,  the  points  in  which  our  work  is  in  the  most  flourishing  con- 
dition, are  where  we  have  good  schools." 

The  Zacatecas  Field. 

From  the  Zacatecas  field  returns  have  not  been  received  in  time  for 
this  report.  Zacatecas  and  the  outstations  connected  with  it,  includ- 
ing Laguna,  have  been  under  the  care  of  Rev.  Messrs.  T.  F.  and 
William  Wallace,  with  the  exception  of  San  Miguel  del  Mezquitil  and 
the  region  round  about  it,  which  have  been  in  charge  of  Rev.  D.  J. 
Stewart,  whose  report  is  given  below. 

During  the  year  Rev.  T.  F.  Wallace  had  a  leave  of  absence  for  four 
months. 


MEXICO — ZACATECAS.  1 89 

The  Messrs.  Wallace,  according  to  a  letter  received  in  June,  visited, 
about  the  close  of  the  previous  year,  various  outstations,  Fresnillo, 
Jerez,  Colotlan,  Hua-ju-car,  Rancho  de  Dios,  etc.  They  preached 
from  place  to  place  as  they  had  opportunity,  but  during  Holy  Week 
(Easter)  their  labors  were  more  or  less  disturbed  by  bull-fights,  cock- 
fights, and  a  Passion  Play,  which  is  celebrated  in  various  rural  towns 
for  the  benefit  of  the  Indians.  The  strong  held  which  the  Papacy 
has  on  the  rude  populations,  and  at  the  same  time  the  degrading  char- 
acter of  its  ceremonies,  were  abundantly  illustrated  during  this  tour, 
as,  for  example,  at  Tlaltenango,  an  old  town  of  3,500  people.  Gro- 
tesque ceremonies  seemed  to  occupy  the  priesthood  and  absorb  the 
attention  of  the  people.  "  We  saw,"  says  the  letter,  "  large  com- 
panies of  from  twenty-five  to  seventy-five  people  rushing  from  the 
main  Romanist  church  to  a  neighboring  chapel,  and  back  again,  re- 
citing prayers  all  the  while.  Each  company  was  headed  by  a  man  who 
led  them  in  the  mumbled  repetition  of  the  '  Holy  Rosary.'  All,  men, 
women,  and  children,  hurried  along  bareheaded,  muttering  as  fast  as 
possible,  and  reminding  one  of  a  swarm  of  buzzing  bees.  Repeating 
the  trip  five  times  secured  indulgence  for  the  forty  days  of  Lent.  The 
church  is  open  all  day,  and  quite  full  of  people  confessing  and  attend- 
ing mass.  It  is  clear  that  the  Roman  Catholic  hierarchy  has  still  a 
strong  hold  on  large  masses  of  the  people,  especially  in  the  country 
districts,  and  that  the  work  of  evangelical  missions  is  resolving  itself 
into  a  long  and  hard  fight." 

In  a  few  places  during  this  tour  Rev.  T.  F.  Wallace  was  called  upon 
to  baptize  a  few  converts  to  the  simple  evangelical  faith  of  the  Gos- 
pel. Frequently  the  best  and  most  satisfactory  results  of  labor  are 
found  upon  the  ranches.  For  example  :  at  the  ranch  of  La  Loma, 
where  Don  Pedro  Herrera  resides,  an  interesting  work  of  grace  has 
been  carried  on  through  his  efforts.  There  are  about  fifty  people  on 
the  ranch,  of  whom  twenty-two  are  church  members,  besides  five  bap- 
tized children.  "  Don  Pedro,"  says  the  report,  "  is  a  deeply  pious 
man,  and  has  been  largely  instrumental  in  the  spread  of  the  Gospel. 
We  had  two  services  each  day  of  the  two  that  we  spent  there.  Out 
in  these  ranches  one  finds  a  sturdier  character,  a  purer  life  and  more 
common-sense  intelligence  than  in  the  larger  populations,  and  we 
consider  them  the  most  hopeful  fields  to  work  in." 
.  In  the  Zacatecas  field,  as  elsewhere  in  Mexico,  there  has  been  great 
suffering  from  drought  and  famine,  and  so  far  as  accounts  have  been 
received,  the  year  has  not  been  one  of  prosperity.  A  famine  which 
paralyzes  business,  at  the  same  time  that  it  raises  the  price  of  subsist- 
ence, throws  the  poor  people  into  a  condition  of  despair.  There  is 
no  hope  for  them  but  to  leave  their  homes,  temporarily  at  least,  for 
some  other  part  of  the  country  in  which  employment  can  be  found, 
and  the  necessary  supply  of  food  can  be  obtained.  The  breaking  up 
of  little  churches  by  such  disasters  is  something  which  people  in  the 
United  States  can  hardly  appreciate.  So  far  as  numerical  results  of 
missionary  labor  are  concerned,  there  may  be  instead  of  gain  an  act- 
ual and  serious  falling  off.  The  one  solace,  however,  is  that  these 
people,  by  being  scattered  abroad,  as  was  the  early  church  at  Jeru- 


190  MEXICO— SAN    LUIS   POTOSI. 

salem,  go  into  new  communities  where,  if  faithful  to  their  vows,  they 
may  be  supposed  to  scatter  the  good  seed  of  the  truth.  In  point  oj 
fact,  this  is  often  done,  and  new  centres  have  through  such  means  be- 
come the  scenes  of  a  greater  or  less  degree  of  religious  interest. 
There  is  in  any  case  but  one  thing  to  be  done,  namely,  to  labor  on 
faithfully,  holding  the  positions  gained,  realizing  that  the  great  Head 
of  the  Church  is  more  deeply  interested  in  His  own  cause  than  we  can 
be,  and  so  by  prayer  and  trust,  coupled  with  diligence,  leave  all  in  the 
hands  of  Him  who  alone  giveth  the  increase. 

Meanwhile,  notwithstanding  the  coldness  and  indifference,  born  of 
despair,  which  seem  to  rest  largely  on  the  hearts  of  the  people,  there 
are  occasional  instances  of  very  deep  interest.  Rev.  William  Wallace, 
in  speaking  of  a  tour  made  in  July,  describes  a  young  man  who  had 
traveled  fifty  miles  for  the  purpose  of  witnessing  a  Protestant  service. 
He  had  been  brought  up  in  a  community  where  a  missionary  had 
never  been  seen,  but,  having  lost  faith  in  the  Roman  Catholic  Church 
on  account  of  the  questionable  practices  which  he  had  observed,  he 
sought  for  some  literature  on  the  subject,  and  having  found  the  "  Let- 
ters of  Kirwan "  among  other  things,  he  was  hopefully  converted  to 
Protestantism.  A  Bible  he  had  never  seen,  and  it  was  a  great  joy  to 
him  to  receive  and  read  one ;  for  he  was  an  intelligent  man.  Being 
compelled  to  return  immediately,  he  wished  to  make  a  public  profes- 
sion of  his  faith  in  Christ.  After  a  good  deal  of  instruction  and  a 
very  satisfactory  examination,  he  was  received  into  the  church.  He 
returned  to  his  home  with  a  goodly  assortment  of  Christian  books,  ex- 
pecting, as  he  said,  to  meet  bitter  persecution,  but  wishing  to  bear 
testimony  for  Christ  as  often  as  he  should  have  opportunity.  It  is  to 
be  hoped  that  through  the  leavening  influence  of  such  men  whole  com- 
munities may  be  led  to  rise  up  and  ask  for  the  truth  in  its  purity. 

Rev.  Mr.  Stewart,  of  San  Miguel  del  Mezquital,  reports  that  the 
year  has  in  many  respects  been  a  very  trying  one.  Extreme  poverty 
and  scarcity  of  work  have  caused  some  of  the  members  of  the  little 
church  to  change  their  residence.  The  price  of  corn  has  advanced 
from  $2  to  $5.25  and  even  16  per  bushel.  It  will  be  easy  to  see  that 
such  a  condition  of  things  in  a  country  where  corn  is  the  staff  of  life, 
means  almost  total  destruction  of  congregations  gathered  from  the 
poor.  Nevertheless,  during  the  Week  of  Prayer,  the  attendance  at 
church  was  good,  the  accommodations  not  being  sufficient  for  the 
demand ;  and,  in  spite  of  these  discouragements,  the  people  have 
begun  to  make  adobes  for  their  chapel  in  the  outstation  of  Santa 
Clara.  There  is  certainly  in  these  bare  statements,  a  telling  appeal 
*to  those  in  this  land  of  prosperity  and  abundance,  to  help  these  peo- 
ple who  are  struggling  with  this  indesrribable  poverty.  Mr.  Stewart's 
report  says,  "While  there  is  a  grea'er  spirit  of  tolerance  manifested 
toward  us  than  formerly,  there  is  also  noticeable  a  greater  indiffer- 
ence and  skepticism.  Through  social  ostracism  and  a  fear  of  taking 
up  the  cross,  most  of  the  people  settle  down  into  indifference  and  are 
neither  Protestant  nor  Catholic." 

San  Luis  Potosi. 
To  Mr.  Beall,  missionary  at  San  Luis  Potosi,  the  year  has  been  one 
of  trial,  owing  to  the  sickness  of  his  wife  and  child.     He  has  also 


MEXICO— STATISTICS.  I9I 

suffered  the  diminution  of  his  force  of  native  helpers,  which  has 
brought  much  discouragement.  Notwithstanding  this,  15  have  been 
received  into  the  membership  of  the  church  during  the  year,  making 
a  gain  of  5  over  all  losses  as  compared  with  last  year.  At  every  com- 
munion season  during  the  year  some  members  have  been  received 
and  some  children  have  been  baptized.  The  native  eldership  seems 
to  be  growing  in  the  sense  of  responsibility  and  willingness  to  work. 
It  is  to  be  hoped  that  during  the  coming  year  the  San  Luis  Potosi 
station  will  be  put  in  better  condition  for  work  by  the  erection  of 
suitable  property,  upon  a  lot  purchased  more  than  a  year  ago  for  the 
purpose.  The  present  buildings  are  such  that  the  authorities  have 
complained  of  them  as  unsafe.  They  are  constantly  open  to  munic- 
ipal interference,  to  say  nothing  of  their  inadequacy  for  the  proper 
prosecution  of  the  missionary  work.  Mention  has  already  been  made 
of  the  fact  that  eight  of  the  outstations  connected  with  this  station 
are  entirely  without  pastoral  care.  It  is  to  be  hoped  that  during  the 
coming  year  the  discouragements  under  which  Mr.  Beall  labors  will 
be  to  a  great  extent  removed.  The  growing  importance  of  San  Luis 
Potosi — which  with  the  opening  of  a  harbor  at  Tampico,  bids  fair  to 
be  a  great  commercial  centre — calls  for  an  enlargement  of  its  interests 
as  a  missionary  station.

Teheran  Station. 

Several  important  changes  took  place  in  the  missionary  force  at  this 
station  during  the  year.  Miss  Greene,  by  an  arrangement  with  the 
West  Persia  Mission,  and  the  consent  of  the  Board,  was  transferred  to 
Oroomiah  ;  Miss  Dale  and  Miss  Bartlett,  the  former  in  ill  health,  re- 
turned to  the  United  States  on  furlough.  Dr.  Torrence  resigned  and 
withdrew  from  the  medical  work,  while  Miss  Letitia  H.  McCampbell 
joined  the  station  as  a  new  missionary. 

The  church  at  this  station  which  was  in  danger  of  being  rent  asun- 
der a  year  ago  has  had  a  year  of  comparative  quiet.  One  of  the  two 
things  which  threatened  difficulty  has  been  happily  adjusted,  and  the 
other,  it  is  hoped,  may  yield  to  judicious  treatment.  The  church  has 
taken  a  long  step  forward  in  securing  for  itself  a  commodious  and 
beautiful  building,  being  the  old  Kasvin  chapel  reconstructed,  which 
was  purchased  from  the  mission  at  a  low  figure.  The  total  cost  to 
the  church  was  about  $1,400,  of  which  $400  was  a  gift  from  the  Shah. 
The  foundations  of  the  enlarged  building  were  laid  with  religious  ex- 
ercises on  May  r8,  1891.  The  entire  project,  including  the  financial 
responsibility,  devolved  entirely  upon  the  church,  and  the  success  of 
their  efforts  promises  well  for  the  material  side  of  the  work  in  the 
future.  On  the  spiritual  side  the  report  is  less  encouraging,  though  in 
some  respects  in  advance  of  that  of  last  year.  A  Moslem  and  a  Jew 
were  received  on  confession  of  faith,  and  one  by  letter,  making  the 
total  membership  forty-nine.  Mr.  Potter  writes  that  in  the  chapel  on 
the  mission  premises  preaching  and  Sunday-school  services  in  Persian 
were  maintained,  and  also  during  part  of  the  year  services  in  English 
on  Sunday  afternoon  for  the  benefit  of  the  mission  families  and  the 
English-speaking  residents.  The  latter  element  is  steadily  increasing 
in  Teheran,  as  business  projects  requiring  foreign  talent  multiply,  and 
the  missionaries  are  not  a  little  perplexed  to  know  what  course  to 
pursue  to  meet  the  spiritual  needs  of  these  strangers  from  Christian 
lands  without  turning  aside  from  the  specific  work  to  which  they  have 
given  their  lives.  The  offerings  at  the  English  services  amounted  to 
$204,  and  those  of  the  Persian  Sunday-school  to  $20.

194  EASTERN   PERSIA — TEHERAN. 

Educational. — The  past  year  will  be  memorable  in  the  history  of 
the  Boys'  School  because  of  the  graduation  of  its  first  class,  consisting 
of  four  young  men,  two  Jews  and  two  Armenians.  In  the  curriculum 
completed  by  these  graduates  the  Bible  study  included  the  Pentateuch 
and  the  New  Testament  through  the  Pauline  Epistles.  Mr.  Ward  re- 
ports the  religious  atmosphere  of  the  school  as  improved.  A  Chris- 
tian Endeavor  Society,  numbering  twenty-five  members,  has  been 
organized,  and  the  meetings  connected  with  it  are  well  sustained.  A 
number  of  distinguished  foreigners,  including  some  connected  with 
several  of  the  diplomatic  corps,  have  manifested  their  interest  in  the 
school  by  gifts  toward  its  support,  and  by  their  presence  at  the 
graduating  exercises.  The  Shah's  son,  the  Naib-i-Sultaneh,  and  the 
Principal  of  the  Shah's  college,  were  also  present  at  the  closing  exer- 
cises. Ninety-four  pupils  were  enrolled,  of  whom  52  are  Armenians, 
17  Jews,  18  Moslems,  4  Eire- worshippers,  2  Americans,  and  1  Nesto- 
rian.  It  is  worthy  of  note  that  the  number  of  Moslem  pupils  has 
doubled  within  the  year, — a  hopeful  sign  where  Islam  is  the  great  foe 
to  the  progress  of  the  Gospel.  Of  the  ninety-four  in  attendance  forty- 
one  were  boarders.  The  boys  are  all  required  to  pay  something  for 
tuition  and  support,  either  in  cash  or  labor,  and  in  this  way  the  cost 
of  the  school  is  reduced,  an^  the  people  are  taught  a  useful  lesson  as 
to  their  responsibility  for  their  children's  education. 

Iran  Bethel.— -The  year  has  been  one  of  peculiar  trials  to  this  girls' 
school.  The  return  home  of  Miss  Bartlett  and  Miss  Dale  left  the 
entire  burden  of  responsibility  upon  Miss  Schenck.  Mrs.  Potter, 
however,  willingly  stepped  into  the  breach  and  rendered  efficient 
service.  The  arrival  of  Miss  McCampbell  did  something  to  relieve  the 
strain,  even  though  most  of  her  time  had  to  be  occupied  in  the  study 
of  the  language.  Seventy-four  pupils  were  in  attendance,  but  the 
great  reduction  in  the  working  force  required  the  dismissing  for  a  time 
of  the  smaller  children.  The  two  graduates,  constituting  the  first 
class  graduated  from  the  school,  and  who  had  just  received  their  diplo- 
mas, had  already  rendered  some  assistance  in  teaching,  and  were 
immediately  employed  for  the  regular  work  of  the  school,  but,  unfor- 
tunately, both  of  them  were  betrothed,  and  their  friends  not  being 
willing  to  consent  to  a  delay,  the  girls  were  required  to  relinquish  their 
positions  and  prepare  for  marriage.  This  very  greatly  increased  the 
difficulty  in  sustaining  the  various  departments  of  the  school.  Miss 
Schenck  refers  to  one  of  the  great  trials  in  conducting  schools  in 
Persia,  namely,  the  diversity  of  languages,  the  children  being  required 
in  many  instances  to  wrestle  with  three  alphabets  and  two  sets  or  sys- 
tems of  figures  at  a  time.  The  school  met  with  a  narrow  escape  in 
the  falling  of  the  heavy  ceiling  of  the  school-room  ;  some  of  the  pieces 
weighing  twenty  or  thirty  pounds.  Happily  no  one  was  present  when 
the  fall  took  place. 

The  usual  religious  exercises  which  have  been  conspicuous  in  this 
school  from  the  beginning  were  sustained  with  interest,  but  nothing 
special  is  reported  in  this  direction. 

The  Primary  School  in  the  Jewish  quarter  has  happily  escaped  per- 
secution, and  had  an  attendance  of  from  twenty-five  to  thirty,  and  the 


EASTERN    PERSIA — TEHERAN.  195 

Jewish  school  for  young  men,  held  in  the  evening,  was  maintained 
without  interference.  During  the  part  of  the  year  while  these  schools 
were  in  session,  a  Sunday  afternoon  service  was  maintained  in  the 
school-room,  attended  by  the  pupils  and  others. 

Outstatiotis. — Mr.  Esselstyn,  who  has  charge  of  the  outstations 
Rescht  and  Kasvin,  reports  nothing  of  special  interest  in  the  former. 
What  is  needed  seems  to  be  the  presence  of  an  American  missionary, 
as  but  a  l'ttle  opposition  has  been  manifested  by  Moslems,  and  during 
Mr.  Esselstyn's  visit  of  eleven  days  he  was  everywhere  well  received. 
Regular  services  have  been  maintained  by  Kasha  Ruben,  and  a  school 
numbering  twenty  pupils  has  been  conducted  with  success  by  him  and 
his  wife.  At  Kasvin  some  little  opposition  was  manifested  because  of 
three  successive  visits  of  the  old  Armenian  Bishop,  but  it  did  not 
materially  affect  our  work.  Mr.  Esselstyn  says  :  "  The  Armenians 
seem  more  favorably  inclined  to  us  than  ever  before,  and  persistently 
petition  us  to  open  a  school  there." 

Concerning  outside  evangelistic  work  committed  to  Mr.  Esselstyn 
by  the  mission,  he  writes :  "  During  eleven  and  one-half  months  1 
have  travelled  more  than  thirteen  hundred  miles  with  my  horse,  visit- 
ing the  cities  of  Simnon,  Damgon,  and  Shahrood,  also  twenty-six 
villages,  in  which  I  have  preached  to  about  a  thousand  people.  In 
Teheran,  I  have  made  about  thirty-five  calls,  usually  accompanied  by 
my  wife,  who  visits  the  women  of  the  family,  when  the  Bible  has  been 
read,  prayers  offered,  or  religious  conversation  engaged  in,  and  some- 
times all  three.  Most  of  the  calls  have  been  on  Mussulmans.  I  have 
received  calls  from  twenty-five  or  more  Moslems,  who  came  expressly 
for  religious  inquiry.  During  the  summer  I  preached  on  Sunday  at 
the  summer  place,  sometimes  having  a  Moslem  attendance  of  fifty  or 
sixty." 

Of  the  Work  among  the  Women  Mrs.  Potter  writes  :  "  We  have  for 
our  field  the  women  of  four  distinct  classes  of  people  in  this  city,  Ar- 
menians, Parsees,  Jews,  and  Moslems,  to  each  of  which  there  are  lines 
of  approach  peculiar  to  their  situation  and  belief.  The  schools  and  all 
the  religious  services  of  the  church  are  open  to  the  first  three,  mak- 
ing them  equal  in  point  of  privilege  ;  but  as  the  religions  of  the  Parsees 
and  the  Jews  are  so  far  removed  from  the  Christian  religion,  and  their 
knowledge  of  it  so  much  less,  we  can  hardly  depend  upon  these 
means  to  supply  their  needs,  while  we  do  feel  that  the  Armenians 
have  abundant  opportunities.  Our  effort  has  been  to  stimulate  the 
zeal  of  those  who  are  in  the  church,  and  reaching  out  to  draw  in 
more  of  the  Armenian  women."  The  decree  of  the  Government, 
issued  November,  1S90,  forbidding  all  Moslem  women  to  attend  the 
mission  services,  concerning  which  some  apprehension  was  felt,  seems 
to  have  wrought  no  special  harm,  as  more  work  has  been  done  among 
that  class  than  in  former  years.  The  meeting  for  Jewish  women  was 
held  in  the  Jewish  quarter  on  Sabbath  afternoons.  The  ladies  of  the 
station  are  rejoicing  in  the  recent  opening  of  some  Parsee  homes. 
Mrs.  Potter  writes:  "The  entering  wedge  was  a  call  for  the  profes- 
sional services  of  Dr.  Smith.  In  our  visit  to  her  patient  we  met 
other  women  of  that  faith,  and  afterward  it  was  comparatively  easy  to 


196  EASTERN   PERSIA— HAMAD  AN. 

call  at  their  homes,  Bible  in  hand,  and  invite  their  attention  for  a  short 
time." 

Medical  Work. — The  resignation  of  Dr.  Torrence  and  the  tem- 
porary transfer  of  Dr.  Smith  to  Hamadan  interfered  seriously  with 
this  department  of  the  work.  This  is  all  the  more  to  be  regretted,  as 
there  was  reason  to  hope  that  the  hospital  just  completed  would  give 
a  new  impetus  to  the  medical  work,  and  open  a  much  wider  field  for 
missionary  effort  than  hitherto.  Before  and  after  her  visit  to  Hamadan, 
however,  Dr.  Smith  spent  two  days  each  week  in  the  dispensary  for 
women,  and  also  received  patients  in  her  own  apartments,  and  visited 
many  in  their  own  homes.  Of  the  spiritual  side  of  the  work  Dr. 
Smith  writes :  "  Both  in  the  work  at  the  dispensary  and  in  the  homes 
we  have  endeavored,  in  ministering  to  the  bodily  needs,  not  to  forget 
the  need  the  soul  has  of  healing  from  its  sin  sickness.  Last  winter 
Mrs.  Potter  kindly  accompanied  me  to  the  dispensary,  where  she  read 
and  talked  to  the  women  who  came,  and  also  went  with  me  to  their 
homes  when  necessary,  thus  aiding  me  greatly  when  from  lack  of 
knowledge  of  the  language  I  could  not  talk  to  them  myself.  Patients 
have  come  to  us  from  all  classes  and  conditions  of  life.  Armenians, 
Mussulmans,  and  Jews  have  all  been  included  in  our  list,  and  by  all 
we  have  been  received  kindly  when  we  have  gone  to  their  homes." 
The  Board  is  earnestly  endeavoring  to  secure  a  medical  gentleman,  pro- 
fessionally qualified  for  such  an  important  place,  and  in  thorough  sym- 
pathy with  mission  work,  for  this  station.  After  the  withdrawal  of 
Dr.  Torrence,  Dr.  Odling  had  kindly  rendered  such  service  as  was  re- 
quired by  our  mission,  especially  during  the  absence  of  Dr.  Smith. 

The  only  literary  work  reported  as  completed  within  the  year  is  a 
Hymn-Book  in  Persian,  comprising  one  hundred  and  fourteen  hymns, 
eighty-two  of  them  new.  Of  the  new  hymns  six  are  original  versions 
of  the  Psalms,  and  the  others  translations  of  English  hymns. 

Hamadan  Station. 

Several  shadows  have  fallen  upon  this  station  during  the  year. 
Among  these  may  be  mentioned  the  illness,  and  consequent  return 
home,  of  Miss  Adeline  Hunter,  after  a  service  of  two  years ;  the  nec- 
essary absence  of  Dr.  Alexander  on  mission  business  for  several 
months,  and  his  subsequent  resignation,  leaving  the  station  without  a 
physician.  The  temporary  transfer  of  Dr.  Mary  J.  Smith  from  Te- 
heran, however,  and  the  arrival  of  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Hawkes,  accompa- 
nied by  Jessie  C.  Wilson,  M.D.,  and  Miss  Sue  S.  Lienbach,  did  much 
to  dispel  these  shadows.  Notwithstanding  the  depleted  force,  the 
various  departments  of  work  were  well  sustained.  The  church,  under 
the  supervision  of  Mr.  Watson,  has  had  a  year  of  peace  and  steady 
growth  in  Christian  character.  Three  were  added  to  the  roll  on  con- 
fession of  faith,  making  eighty-five  communicants,  while  one  hundred 
and  forty  scholars  were  enrolled  in  the  Sabbath-school.  It  is  a  hope- 
ful sign  that  the  ruling  elders  kept  a  watchful  care  over  the  flock.  As 
has  been  their  custom  for  some  time  past,  they  visited  all  the  members 
in  their  homes  each  quarter  during  the  year,  and  were  able  to  report 
a  manifest  increase  in  the  spirit  of  prayer  and  love  for  the  truth. 


EASTERN    PERSIA — HAMADAN.  197 

The  High-School  for  Boys  had  a  total  enrollment  of  eighty-four, 
with  an  average  attendance  of  seventy-five.  A  marked  increase  in  the 
earnestness  and  application  of  the  pupils  is  reported.  A  classification 
of  studies,  rendered  necessary  by  the  development  of  the  school,  was 
made.  Much  attention  is  given  to  religious  instruction.  The  first 
half  hour  of  each  day  is  devoted  to  Bible  study.  Of  other  religious 
exercises  Mrs.  Watson  writes  :  "  Toward  the  end  of  the  spring  term 
the  boys  started  and  sustained  a  short  noon  prayer-meeting,  especially 
for  the  Jewish  people.  The  Saturday  evening  prayer-meeting  has 
been  well  sustained  during  the  year.  It  is  a  great  pleasure  to  note  the 
interest  the  boys  feel  in  these  meetings.  Moslem  boys  drop  in,  and 
we  know  a  friendly  invitation  has  been  extended  to  them  by  our  boys ; 
or  sometimes  we  see  the  boys  bringing  others  with  them  to  make  sure 
they  come.  The  consultation  meeting  in  Mr.  Watson's  study  Sunday 
afternoon  has  been  a  source  of  much  help  and  strength  to  the  boys, 
for  they  can  speak  freely  of  any  difficulties  or  stumbling-blocks  which 
will  arise  in  the  minds  of  these  Oriental  boys,  as  well  as  in  the  minds 
of  their  Occidental  cousins."  The  three  additions  to  the  church 
noted  above  were  from  this  school,  one  of  the  boys  being  a  Jew  and 
two  Armenians.  The  closing  exercises  of  the  school  for  the  year  were 
attended,  among  others,  by  two  Persian  princes,  sons  of  the  Governor 
of  Hamadan,  and  nephews  of  the  Shah  of  Persia.  When  the  exer- 
cises were  concluded  they  came  to  the  platform  with  other  friends, 
and,  shaking  hands  with  the  teachers,  offered  their  congratulations  on 
the  success  of  the  school. 

The  Faith  Hubbard  School  reports  an  attendance  of  one  hundred 
and  four  scholars,  fifty-four  of  them  being  boarders.  Of  the  total  num- 
ber five  were  Moslems,  seven  Jews,  and  the  remainder  Armenians. 
Though  the  health  of  the  scholars  was  for  the  most  part  good,  a  few 
cases  of  illness  gave  occasion  for  alarm,  especially  one  of  small-pox. 
Happily  prompt  measures  in  removing  the  patient  from  the  house  and 
using  modern  appliances  were  effective  in  keeping  the  disease  from 
spreading.  Of  this  school  Miss  Charlotte  G.  Montgomery  writes  : 
"  Through  many  interruptions  the  work  in  the  school  progressed ;  the 
teachers  were  earnest  and  faithful  in  their  work,  and  the  scholars  in 
general  diligent.  One  of  the  plans  for  the  year  had  been  to  give  the 
girls  an  opportunity  to  learn  more  fancy-work,  but  nothing  was  accom- 
plished in  that  line  till  the  last  two  or  three  months  of  the  term.  This 
they  enjoy  and  undertake  heartily,  so  that  what  they  finished  in  that 
time,  in  addition  to  studies,  examinations,  and  other  work,  made  quite 
a  creditable  display  on  examination  day."  Here  again  the  princes 
referred  to  above  were  present,  and  manifested  their  interest  in  the 
work  of  the  school.  Touching  the  daily  life  in  the  home  the  report 
says  :  "The  girls  appear  to  be  making  progress  in  the  Christian  life. 
They  seem  to  be  aiming  higher,  and  striving  day  by  day  to  live 
exemplary  Christian  lives,  doing  their  work  'as  unto  the  Lord  and 
not  unto  men.'  For  a  time  we  had  some  dissension  among  the  differ- 
ent nationalities  comprising  our  household.  It  was  Armenian  against 
Moslem,  and  Moslem  and  Armenian  against  Jew.  Any  one  not  ac- 
quainted with  this  country  can  scarcely  understand  how  very  difficult 


I98  EASTERN   PERSIA— STATISTICS. 

it  is  to  blend  those  incongruous  atoms  harmoniously.  It  is  an  inherited 
tendency  in  them  to  be  'hateful  and  hating  one  another,'  but  even 
this  grace  can  overcome,  so  when  the  girls  came  to  realize  how  un- 
worthy such  feeling  is,  especially  to  those  who  bear  the  name  of  Christ, 
and  that  all  His  disciples  should  be  one  in  Him,  they  laid  aside  their 
differences  and  again  peace  reigned  in  our  home."  The  King's 
Daughters  have  continued  their  Sabbath  evening  prayer-meeting, 
which  is  followed  by  a  sort  of  experience  meeting,  the  members 
talking  with  each  other  of  the  lights  and  shadows  of  their  Christian 
life.  Their  Christmas  offering  amounted  to  $4.20,  while  the  gifts  of 
the  Mission  Band  aggregated  $21.27. 

A  quiet  work  among  the  women  in  prayer-meeting  and  Sabbath- 
school  and  within  their  own  homes  has  been  continued  with  some 
encouragement.  In  one  of  the  houses  as  many  as  fifteen  gathered  on 
one  occasion  to  hear  the  Word  of  Life.  In  reporting  this  work  Miss 
Annie  Montgomery  refers  to  the  "  deadly  nightshade,  polygamy,"  which 
has  poisoned  the  life  of  the  Moslem  women  :  "  In  childhood  untrained, 
untaught,  uncontrolled,  with  no  happy  home  or  school  life.  She  may 
not  associate  with  her  brothers,  for  she  must  be  married  while  yet  a 
mere  child,  not  even  able  to  read,  and  her  mind  filled  with  the  vile- 
ness  of  the  harem  she  is  leaving." 

Of  the  work  in  Sheverine,  a  village  near  Hamadan,  the  report  says  : 
"  Our  work  in  Sheverine,  interrupted  in  the  winter,  was  resumed  in 
the  early  spring,  and  has  been  very  encouraging,  for  the  women  have 
learned  to  listen,  and  seem  to  understand  the  truth.  The  Sabbath- 
school  classes  are  doing  better  work,  and  the  piimary  class  gave  for 
missions  last  year  $3.17.  Before  the  Sabbath  service  and  the  Thurs- 
day meeting  I  can  visit  the  sick  and  tell  them  of  the  Good  Physician, 
but  now  that  Dr.  Wilson  has  come  we  hope  to  reach  many  more  of 
the  village  women.  The  Hamadan  Woman's  Foreign  Missionary 
Society  contributed  last  year  $20.15,  and  they  continue  the  good 
work." 

Owing  to  the  protracted  absence  of  Dr.  Alexander  and  his  sub- 
sequent resignation,  referred  to  above,  the  medical  work  necessarily 
suffered.  A  large  amount  of  dispensary  work,  however,  was  done  by 
the  native  assistants,  and  Dr.  Smith,  of  Teheran,  accomplished  much 
both  in  the  dispensary  and  in  the  homes  during  her  brief  sojourn  in 
Hamadan.  It  is  with  pleasure  we  add  that  Dr.  George  W.  Holmes, 
so  long  our  medical  missionary  at  Tabriz,  has  been  appointed  to 
Hamadan,  the  way  having  opened  for  his  return  to  Persia.

The  wide  area  of  territory  covered  by  this  mission,  from  the  shores 
of  the  Caspian  to  the  valley  of  the  Tigris,  the  diverse  populations  em- 
braced in  the  field,  and  the  confusion  of  tongues  spoken,  present  here 
more  than  the  ordinary  number  of  difficult  problems  in  the  prosecu- 
tion of  missionary  work.  They  differ  in  different  portions  of  the  field. 
In  Tabriz  it  is  to  build  up  a  living  church  and  to  reach  the  masses  of 
a  great  city,  bigoted  and  intolerant,  and  to  carry  the  Gospel  over  a 
wide  territory  to  Armenians  and  Persians,  with  increasing  responsibil- 
ities to  the  peoples  of  the  Caucasus,  the  contiguous  province  of  Rus- 
sia. In  Salmas  the  problem  is  to  evangelize  a  large  rural  population 
of  Armenians  strongly  enchained  to  their  ancient  superstitions  and 
formal  rites  and  ceremonies,  and  to  reach  out  to  Chaldeans  and  Mos- 
lems. In  Oroomiah  the  special  work  is  among  the  more  plastic 
Syrian  or  Nestorian  people,  to  develop  the  power  of  the  native 
church,  gathered  there  after  nearly  60  years  of  missionary  effort,  and 
make  it  a  forceful  evangelizing  agency  to  their  Moslem,  Armenian, 
and  Jewish  neighbors.  In  the  mountain  districts  of  Kurdistan  the 
knotty  problem  is  how  to  secure  the  entrance  and  growth  of  the  Gos- 
pel among  almost  barbarous  conditions,  checked  by  Turks,  Kurdish 
chiefs,  and  independent  lawless  tribes  of  nominal  Christians.  Farther 
westward,  in  the  valley  of  the  Tigris,  with  the  new  station  of  Mosul  as 
the  centre,  the  task  is  to  reach  up  into  Kurdistan  to  the  Nestorians, 
as  attempted  by  Dr.  Grant  50  years  ago,  to  check  the  disastrous  in- 
fluence of  the  Church  of  Rome  among  the  Chaldeans  and  Nestorians 


20O  WESTERN   PERSIA — OROOMIAH. 

of  the  plains,  and  to  rescue  the  Yezidees  from  the  degradation  of  their 
senseless  Satan  worship. 

In  respect  to  languages,  too,  there  are  embarrassing  complications. 
The  well-equipped  missionary,  man  or  woman,  feels  the  need  of  at  least 
two  at  his  or  her  command.  In  Tabriz  and  Salmas  it  is  the  Armenian 
and  Turkish  ;  in  Oroomiah  the  Syriac  and  Turkish  ;  in  Mosul  the 
Syriac  and  Arabic.  Besides  these  ever-present  problems,  taxing  mis- 
sionary patience,  resolution,  and  wisdom,  each  year  is  likely  to  develop 
some  new  conditions  or  complications  which  add  to  the  difficulties  of 
the  situation.  During  the  past  year  some  such  new  disturbances  have 
operated  unfavorably,  particularly  the  agitation  over  the  tobacco  mo- 
nopoly. The  conflict  between  the  civil  and  ecclesiastical  powers  on 
this  subject  has  been  very  acute,  threatening  at  one  time  a  revo- 
lution. The  result  has  been  rather  to  increase  the  prestige  of  the 
Mullahs  and  the  fanaticism  of  the  people  against  the  Christians. 
Though  the  missionary  work  has  not  suffered  seriously  thereby  thus 
far,  the  situation  has  added  anxieties  to  the  other  burdens  of  the  mis- 
sionary workers. 

But,  notwithstanding  all  the  impediments  and  disappointments,  the 
past  year  has  been  one  of  gratifying  progress  in  many  particulars.  In 
confident  tones  are  the  workers  able  to  declare  the  Lord  is  on  our  side. 

Much  gratification  was  experienced  in  the  autumn  by  the  visit  of  Mr. 
L.  D.  Wishard,  Secretary  of  the  Young  Men's  Christian  Association, 
in  his  tour  around  the  world,  accompanied  by  Mrs.  Wishard  and  Mr. 
W.  H.  Grant.  His  labors  in  connection  with  the  college  at  Oroomiah, 
and  the  Boys'  School  in  Tabriz,  were  felt  to  be  of  lasting  value  to  the 
young  men  there  assembled,  and  the  same  was  true  of  his  intercourse 
with  the  native  workers.  The  presence,  too,  of  these  sympathetic 
friends  at  the  annual  meeting  of  the  mission  at  Oroomiah,  with  their 
wise,  practical  views  and  suggestions,  made  this  visit  a  memorable  one 
in  the  annals  of  the  mission. 

Oroomiah. 

The  Churches. — The  most  significant  fact  in  the  year's  history  of 
church  growth  at  this  station,  is  the  continued  manifestation  of  the 
Holy  Spirit  in  the  midst  of  the  churches.  As  in  the  previous  year, 
many  of  these  churches  have  enjoyed  quickening  revivals,  and  an  un- 
usually large  number  of  souls  have  been  added  to  their  membership  ; 
of  such,  we  trust,  as  shall  be  saved.  The  early  part  of  the  year  was 
marked  by  the  holding  of  special  religious  services  throughout  the 
field.  Messrs.  Coan  and  St.  Pierre  were  very  active  in  aiding  the 
pastors  during  the  "Spiritual  Week,"  so  commonly  observed  now 
through  the  winter  and  early  spring.  Their  labors  were  richly  blessed 
of  the  Lord.  The  congregations  were  everywhere  large.  It  is  be- 
lieved that  in  no  previous  year  was  the  Gospel  preached  to  so  large  a 
number  of  Nestorians  as  during  this  season.  The  harvest  of  souls  has 
been  a  precious  one.  Many  heads  of  families,  persons  prominent  in 
their  communities,  some  of  them  Armenians  and  some  Roman  Cath- 
olics, were  among  the  gathered  in.  The  faith  and  fidelity  of  some  of 
the  native   pastors  was  an  important  factor  in  the  significant  result. 


WESTERN    PERSIA— OROOMIAH.  201 

Nor  should  we  fail  to  recognize  the  useful  activity  of  numbers  of  lay 
workers,  especially  among  the  young  men,  who  by  organized  visitation 
from  house  to  house,  and  by  personal  work  for  individual  souls,  have 
followed  up  and  deepened  greatly  the  impression  made  by  the  spoken 
truth.  The  Easter  Sunday  following  these  awakenings  was  a  mem- 
orable one.  The  Lord's  Supper  was  celebrated  in  over  20  places, 
and  new  members  were  received  in  nearly  every  one  of  them.  The 
largest  addition  was  in  Gulpashan.  where  over  40  members  were  re- 
ceived. The  total  of  additions  to  the  churches  during  the  year  was 
255,  a  number  never  exceeded  but  once  in  the  annals  of  this  station  ; 
the  net  increase,  228,  is  larger  than  in  any  year  before.  It  is  of  fur- 
ther interest  to  note  that  the  additions  occurred  in  38  different  con- 
gregations. These  facts  are  indicative  of  a  substantial  growth  for 
which  we  cannot  be  too  grateful  to  the  Divine  Power  by  whom  it  has 
come. 

The  General  Synod. — The  territory  covered  by  the  Synod  of  the 
Evangelical  Syrian  (Nestorian)  Church  is  broader  than  the  geo- 
graphical limits  of  the  Oroomiah  station.  Portions  of  Salinas  and 
Western  Kurdistan  are  under  its  general  supervision.  It  has  now  a 
recorded  membership  of  2,344.  This  is  a  gain  of  25  per  cent,  in 
the  last  five  years,  and  compared  with  twenty  years  ago  it  shows  a 
growth  of  200  per  cent.,  or  an  average  yearly  increase  of  10  per 
cent.  Meanwhile,  however,  the  churches  have  been  stirred  to  a 
pretty  thorough  sifting  of  their  membership  and  to  closer  scrutiny 
in  the  admission  of  applicants.  There  are  connected  with  the 
Synod  43  presbyters,  32  preaching  deacons,  19  licentiates,  9  stu- 
dents for  the  ministry,  109  elders,  and  106  deaconesses.  This  is  a 
large  and  hopeful  body,  from  which  we  may  expect  an  ever  widen- 
ing leavening  power  to  permeate  the  populations  of  Persia  with  the 
rectifying  and  sanctifying  influence  of  the  Gospel. 

The  missionaries  have  felt  that  possibly  it  was  time  to  devolve 
more  of  responsibility  upon  the  Synod  for  the  evangelization  of  the 
nominal  Christians,  that  they  might  expend  more  of  their  own  time 
and  resources  upon  the  non-Christian  populations.  Such  a  measure 
has  been  proposed  to  the  Evangelistic  Board  of  the  Synod,  but  has 
not  met  with  the  response  hoped  for.  They  feel  scarcely  prepared 
for  so  important  a  step.  The  additional  financial  burdens  it  would 
involve  is  doubtless  the  most  serious  objection  in  their  minds. 
While  among  individuals  a  cheering  growth  of  the  true  missionary 
spirit  is  apparent,  and  we  have  some  inspiring  instances  of  self- 
sacrifice  and  devotion  in  Gospel  work,  as  a  whole  the  church  does 
not  advance  as  we  could  wish.  The  contributions  of  the  churches 
towards  self-support  do  increase  from  year  to  year;  in  1889  they 
amounted  to  about  $1,385  ;  in  1890,  to  $1,920  ;  in  1891,  to  $2,235  ; 
but  this  increase  is  in  small  proportion  to  the  enlarged  outlay  de- 
manded for  advance  in  pastors'  salaries  and  for  church  and  manse 
building.  There  are  seven  churches  out  of  nineteen  that  give  all  or 
more  than  half  of  their  pastors'  support;  several  others  are  near 
the  half-way  mark.  This  whole  subject  has  come  up  for  renewed 
discussion  recently  in  connection  with   the  plea  of  the  native  help- 


202  WESTERN    PERSIA — ORO0MIAH. 

ers  for  larger  salaries,  to  meet  the  higher  cost  of  living.  The  de- 
mand has  elements  of  reason  in  it.  But  the  effort  to  make  the 
increase  depend  on  the  enlarged  contribution  of  the  churches  has 
not  been  wholly  successful.  This  condition,  however,  is  presented 
and  emphasized  in  the  rules  lately  adopted  by  the  Native  Board 
regulating  the  proposed  increase  of  salaries. 

The  Hindrances. — The  reports  from  the  field  dilate  upon  some  of 
the  social  conditions  and  habits  of  the  people  which  seriously  antago- 
nize the  development  of  a  strong  and  progressive  Christian  charac- 
ter. One  of  these  is  their  litigious  spirit.  Unseemly  quarrels  are 
not  uncommon  in  the  churches.  "  Brother  goeth  to  law  with 
brother,  and  that  before  unbelievers."  Not  a  little  time  of  mission- 
aries and  native  pastors  is  consumed  in  efforts  to  adjust  conten- 
tions, if  not  always  among  the  brethren,  then  among  the  sisters. 
Thus  too  often  the  best  results  of  revival  blessings  are  spoiled,  the 
spiritual  tone  of  the  whole  church  is  lowered,  and  its  savor  among 
its  neighbors  is  sadly  marred.  Another  discouraging  condition  is 
the  ready  yielding  of  church  members  to  worldly  seductions  at  the 
expense  of  Christian  principle.  Their  special  temptation  in  this 
line  is  from  the  wine  weddings  so  prevalent  among  the  people  at 
large.  The  Presbyteries  and  Synod  are  constantly  bringing  pressure 
to  bear  towards  effecting  a  reformation  in  these  festivals,  too  often 
scenes  of  disorderly  or  unseemly  conduct,  and  they  frown  upon 
the  attendance  at  them  of  the  church  members,  even  though  they 
may  not  indulge  themselves  in  the  use  of  wine.  But  the  desire  to 
be  neighborly  and  to  enjoy  a  good  time  works  against  church  rule, 
and  is  stronger  than  the  fear  of  suspension  by  the  session.  Again, 
the  pernicious  habit  of  travelling  in  Russia  as  mendicants,  in  which 
the  Nestorians  are  amazingly  successful,  is  in  certain  districts  fast- 
ening its  roots  deeper  and  deeper  into  the  social  life,  debasing  good 
morals  and  deadening  whole  communities  to  spiritual  influences. 
And  further,  there  is  noticeable  a  general  growth  in  worldliness, 
akin  to  what  is  lamented  in  the  Church  of  Christ  almost  univers- 
ally at  this  time.  Wealth  is  increasing,  to  be  sure  on  a  small  scale 
comparatively,  but,  more  or  less,  the  usual  results  of  extravagance 
in  dress  and  living  are  fostered  by  it.  With  this  also,  and  with  ad- 
vancement in  intelligence,  comes  ambition  for  social  elevation  and 
worldly  position,  dampening  the  ardor  of  simple,  self-denying  piety. 
One  fruit  of  all  this,  noticed  in  previous  annual  reports,  but  still  a 
disheartening  condition,  is  the  unrest  among  our  students,  a  crav- 
ing to  better  their  worldly  estate  by  going  abroad.  It  is  becoming 
very  difficult  to  supply  the  churches  with  suitable  pastors.  All 
these  circumstances  severely  tax  the  patience  and  discretion  of  the 
missionaries. 

There  are  other  conditions,  however,  which  are  harbingers  of 
triumph  over  obstacles  and  so  hearten  the  soldiers  of  the  Cross 
against  all  temporary  discouragements.  Dr.  Shedd  mentions  these 
grounds  of  encouragement  :  "(i)  The  activity  of  laymen  who  are 
imbued  with  the  need  of  more  earnest  work,  and  prayer,  and  a 
purer  example.     (2)  The  openness  of  the  people  to  the  Gospel  when 


WESTERN    PERSIA—  OROOMI AH.  203 

it  is  faithfully  presented,  and  the  general  friendliness,  notwithstand- 
ing the  efforts  of  bishops  and  ritualists  to  set  up  barriers.  (3)  In- 
creased volume  of  spiritual  power,  and  greater  faith,  and  the  fact  that 
where  there  are  labor  and  prayer  and  godly  example  God  gives  the 
increase.  And  with  this  there  is  more  of  the  missionary  spirit  to 
carry  the  Gospel- to  all  the  people"  As  a  development  of  this 
missionary  spirit,  much  interest  belongs  to  the  operations  of  the 
little  organization  lately  formed  of  volunteer  spirits,  known  by  the 
name  of  the  Persia  Inner  Mission.  It  is  composed  of  missionaries 
and  native  brethren.  A  humble  movement  at  the  beginning,  it  is 
hoped  to  have  in  it  the  seeds  of  expansion  and  more  rapid  evangeli- 
zation for  the  other  nationalities  of  the  country. 

Work  for  Moslems. — The  rifts  in  the  darkness  which  overhangs 
the  Moslems  of  Persia  are  widening.  Never  has  there  been  such  a 
degree  of  encouragement  for  direct  Christian  labor  among  these 
people  as  during  the  year  under  review.  Persian  Islam  seems  in 
process  of  disintegration.  The  heterodox  sects  are  increasing  rap- 
idly in  numbers.  There  is  a  secret  breaking  away  from  the  re- 
straints and  unsatisfying  teachings  of  Mohammedanism.  Christian 
preachers  are  listened  to  with  an  attention  that  surprises.  Dr. 
Cochran,  whose  profession  affords  him  unusual  opportunities  of  in- 
tercourse with  the  higher  classes,  states  that  he  has  never  known 
among  them  so  many  inquirers  on  religious  matters.  In  the  light  of 
these  facts  the  little  Inner  Mission  for  the  Moslems,  referred  to 
above,  has  before  it  an  opening  of  great  significance,  and  one  that 
promises  very  important  results.  Dr.  Shedd,  deeply  impressed  with 
the  consequences  attaching  to  this  new  enterprise,  makes  this  expo- 
sition of  facts  in  regard  to  it :  "  This,"  he  says,  "is  the  real  mission- 
ary work  of  Persia.  We  have  made  a  beginning,  and  have  raised 
enough  funds  to  keep  one  native  missionary  and  one  theological 
student  at  work  this  winter.  Besides  these,  we  have  set  in 
motion  a  good  deal  of  volunteer  agency.  One  good  native  physi- 
cian is  at  work  in  the  city  of ,  pays  his  own  way,  and  has  done 

most  valuable  service.  Another  physician  hopes  soon  to  go  to  an- 
other important  city,  at  his  own  charges,  and  do  similar  work  there. 
One  young  man  who,  in  addition  to  his  college  training,  has  taken  a 
brief  course  of  instruction  in  simple  medicine,  during  the  winter 
past  has  visited  a  hundred  or  more  villages  of  Moslems  and  was 
courteously  received  in  all.  A  Nestorian  Bible-woman  has  visited 
Mime  sixty  Moslem  villages  and  has  found  a  kindly  welcome  every- 
where, and  eager  listeners  and  inquirers  in  some  of  them.  Some  of 
the  converts  from  Islam  have  engaged  in  tours,  and  are  active  in 
spreading  the  knowledge  of  Christ  among  their  people.  It  is  the 
privilege  of  this  station  to  report  the  baptism  of  several  hopeful 
converts  from  Islam  during  the  year, — three  men  and  two  girls,  the 
parents  of  the  latter  giving  their  consent  and  being  present  at  the 
ceremony. 

"The  school  for  Moslem  girls,  with  an  attendance  of  from  ro  to 
15,  was  in  session  several  months  ;  in  the  fall  it  was  united  with  the 
Fiske  Seminary. 


204  WESTERN   PERSIA — OROOMIAH. 

"  The  outlook  for  evangelistic  work  among  the  Mohammedans  is 
certainly  hopeful.  And  yet  it  must  not  be  forgotten  that  at  any  mo- 
ment fanaticism  may  arrest  the  present  activity  and  close  up  all  these 
interesting  opportunities,  yea,  seal  them  up  in  blood.  The  situation 
is  a  critical  one,  and  urgently  calls  for  the  prayers  of  the  Church  at 
large,  and  its  generous  support.  While  the  Lord  permits  these  favor- 
able opportunities  to  continue,  a  grand  faith  and  bold  wise  efforts 
may  achieve  results  beyond  price." 

Oroomiah  College. — This  institution  continues  under  the  care  of 
Dr.  Shedd  and  Mr.  St.  Pierre  ;  Dr.  Shedd  having  to  do  principally 
with  the  theological  class  and  the  industrial  department.  Dr.  Coch- 
ran has  charge  of  the  medical  department.  The  native  teachers  are 
three  in  the  regular  college  course,  one  each  in  the  medical  and  the 
preparatory  departments.  An  aggregate  attendance  of  122  is  re- 
ported. Of  these,  nine  are  regular,  and  three  irregular,  students  of 
theology ;  six  are  studying  medicine  ;  fifty  are  in  the  regular  academ- 
ical classes  ;  and  fifty-four  in  the  preparatory  school.  There  is  on 
the  same  premises  a  grammar-school  of  40  boys;  making  a  total  of 
162  youth  in  attendance  at  the  daily  chapel  exercises.  There  were  10 
graduates  from  the  college  in  July,  and  18  received  certificates  of 
completing  two  years'  study  in  the  preparatory  school,  of  whom  14 
were  received  into  the  college  course. 

Of  the  closing  exercises  of  the  college  last  July  Mr.  St.  Pierre 
writes  :  "  Commencement  week  showed  a  great  deal  of  solid  work, 
and  surprised  even  those  most  intimately  connected  with  the  institu- 
tion. It  is  gradually  pushing  its  way  forward  and  assuming  a  more 
and  more  important  place  among  institutions  of  learning,  notwith- 
standing its  drawbacks  in  the  way  of  lack  of  endowments,  and  its  de- 
pendence on  a  meagre  estimate  from  year  to  year.  Our  teachers  are 
paid  really  too  small  salaries  to  allow  them  the  opportunities  they  re- 
quire in  the  way  of  self-improvement,  for  which  books  and  leisure  are 
absolute  necessiti*  s.  Yet  so  long  as  we  are  dependent  on  Board  ap- 
propriations we  cannot  give  these.  The  teachers  are  hard-working, 
faithful,  and  cultivated  men,  and  deserve  all  we  can  do  for  them,  and 
much  more  besides."  "  The  examinations,"  he  continues,  "  are  both 
oral  and  written.  To  the  oral  we  invite  examiners  from  our  educated 
men.  The  pleasure  these  manifested  in  all  to  which  they  listened  was 
very  gratifying  indeed.  The  oratorical  contest  was  a  splendid  success. 
It  is  gaining  ground  year  by  year.  Its  aim  is  to  stimulate  the  young 
men  of  the  college  to  the  cultivation  of  grace  and  power  in  public 
speaking,  and  all  for  Christ  and  His  church.  The  Alumni  meeting 
was  an  unusually  harmonious  one." 

The  religious  standing  of  the  present  attendance  at  the  college  is 
as  follows  :  Of  the  students  of  theology,  medicine,  and  of  the  gradu- 
ating class,  all  (28)  are  church  members.  Out  of  56  in  the  regular 
college  classes,  39  are  in  the  church,  and  in  the  lower  departments 
16  out  of  75.  During  the  year  15  of  the  students  united  with  their 
churches  at  home. 

Late  in  the  year  Mr.  E.  T.  Allen,  a  young  artisan  of  London, 
Canada,  possessed  of  an  ardent  desire  to  serve  in  the  foreign  field, 


WESTERN    PERSIA — OROOMIAH.  205 

was  sent  out  by  the  Board  to  develop  the  industrial  branch  of 
the  college  work.  It  is  greatly  hoped  that  he  will  assist  materially 
in  the  solution  of  problems  in  this  line  which  particularly  press 
upon  the  attention  of  the  brethren  in  this  field. 

The  Fiske  Seminary. — Miss  Dean  has  continued  in  charge  of  this 
school,  though  in  quite  indifferent  health.  She  was  assisted  by  Miss 
Van  Duzee  a  part  of  the  year,  and  also  by  Miss  Melton  previous  to 
her  transfer  to  the  Mosul  station,  on  account  of  her  health.  The 
arrival  of  Miss  Medbery  and  Miss  Russell  has  lifted  a  heavy  burden 
of  care  from  Miss  Dean's  hands,  and  infused  new  life  into  all  the 
many  plans  for  the  increased  efficiency  of  the  institution.  There 
is  some  growth  of  interest  in  the  education  of  their  daughters 
among  the  people,  even  where  it  involves  the  payment  of  money  to 
meet  expenses.  The  culture  received  at  this  Seminary,  moral  and 
religious,  as  well  as  intellectual  and  industrial,  grows  upon  the 
minds  of  the  more  thoughtful  parents.  One  mother,  by  way  of 
illustration,  said,  as  she  paid  the  small  sum  charged  for  her  daugh- 
ter's tuition,  that  the  money  was  of  no  account  at  all  as  she  saw  the 
wonderful  improvement  of  her  daughter  even  in  a  single  term. 
During  the  year  a  kindergarten  for  day  pupils  from  the  city  was 
added  to  the  other  departments  of  the  school,  and  has  proved 
astonishingly  popular,  with  the  mothers  as  well  as  the  children.  It 
was  last  winter  under  Miss  Melton's  care.  Not  a  few  mothers  came 
to  her  for  assistance  in  the  home  discipline  of  their  small  children, 
seeing  Miss  M.'s  thorough  control  over  them  in  school  hours. 

The  number  of  boarders  in  the  school  was  77,  and  100  were 
enrolled  in  the  different  branches  of  the  day-school. 

A  tender  religious  feeling  prevailed  among  the  members  of  the 
school  last  winter  and  spring,  and  a  number  seemed  to  come  out  on 
the  Lord's  side.  Several  united  with  the  churches  of  their  respect- 
ive villages.  The  quietness  of  this  work  of  grace  was  especially 
gratifying. 

Work  for  Women. — Meetings  for  women  at  intervals  of  three  or 
four  months,  in  different  sections  of  the  field,  have  been  kept  up, 
for  which  Mrs.  Shedd  has  rendered  important  service,  preparing 
programmes  and  Bible-readings,  and  others  have  assisted  by  attend- 
ing. We  can  readily  believe,  as  Dr.  Shedd  remarks,  "  that  these 
conferences  are  a  power  for  good." 

Miss  Greene,  though  battling  with  ill-health,  has  made  frequent 
tours  into  the  villages,  and  her  interest  in  the  dull,  toiling  life  of  these 
Persian  sisters,  her  efforts  to  impart  some  higher  ideals  of  order, 
reading,  and  Christian  living,  have  been  warmly  appreciated. 

Miss  Van  Duzee  has  continued  her  invaluable  labors  for  Moslem 
women.  Her  Friday  and  Sunday  meetings  for  the  converts  and 
inquirers  are  well  attended.  Eight  of  the  women  take  part  in 
prayer.  Of  their  own  accord  they  have  introduced  singing  into 
the  meetings,  ami  though  the  singing  is  poor  they  find  the  hymns 
very  precious  and  helpful.  Miss  Van  Duzee  also  has  weekly  meet- 
ings with  Jewish  women.  Under  her  direction  a  Bible-woman  does 
excellent  work  in  the  Jewish  quarter  of  the  city.     She  is  cordially 


206  WESTERN   PERSIA — OROOMIAH. 

received  for  the  most  part  into  whatever  houses  she  goes.  On  one 
such  visit  a  young  Jewish  merchant  heard  the  Gospel  from  her  lips, 
and  he  has  since  openly  confessed  his  faith  in  Christ,  exposing 
himself  to  severe  persecution  in  consequence.  This  continual 
preaching  of  Christ  to  this  community  of  Israelites  is  evidently 
breaking  down  prejudices,  and  the  hearts  of  not  a  few  are  ap- 
parently softening  towards  Jesus  of  Nazareth. 

The  Medical  Work. — We  have  from  Dr.  Cochran  a  very  sug- 
gestive report  on  the  work  of  the  Westminster  Hospital  for  the  year 
past.  The  institution  accommodates  30  patients.  Many  of  these 
have  to  remain  a  long  time.  Limited  financial  resources  operate 
still  further  to  restrict  the  number  who  can  be  entered  for  treat- 
ment. The  sum  total  received  in  the  year  1891  was  337.  These 
represented  four  or  five  different  nationalities.  There  were  114 
operations,  some  of  them  grave  ones,  as  amputation  of  limbs, 
removal  of  cataracts,  etc.  Except  in  a  surprisingly  small  fraction 
of  cases,  these  have  resulted  in  complete  recovery  or  great  improve- 
ment. The  Howard  Annex  for  women  adds  greatly  to  the  resources 
of  the  hospital  in  the  care  of  women  patients,  of  whom  there  were 
121  last  year.  The  coming  of  Dr.  Emma  T.  Miller  is  an  addition 
to  the  working  force  of  the  hospital  that  is  warmly  appreciated  by 
Dr.  Cochran,  and  by  all  interested  in  its  highest  usefulness.  The 
hospital  patients  represent  a  very  small  part  of  the  medical  work 
done.  By  far  the  larger  portion  of  the  sick  receive  treatment  at 
the  dispensary.  Furthermore,  Dr.  Cochran  and  his  assistants  are 
in  constant  demand  for  outside  practice,  either  in  the  city,  among 
the  rich  and  poor,  or  in  the  country  at  more  or  less  remote  distances. 

The  Village  Schools. — The  number  of  schools  in  operation  in  the 
winter  of  1890-91  was  94,  of  which  79  were  in  Persian  territory  and 
15  in  Turkey.  The  number  of  pupils  in  attendance  was  2,169. 
This  is  a  small  increase,  showing  a  steady  annual  gain,  and  this  in 
spite  of  the  free  schools  opened  in  nearly  fifty  villages  by  the 
Anglican  missionaries.  While  this  rivalry  retards  the  healthy 
growth  in  self-support  which  was  apparent  a  few  years  ago,  it 
probably  brings  a  larger  number  of  children  under  instruction — a 
good  of  no  small  consequence  to  the  nation — and  it  has  stimulated 
our  schools  to  better  work.  While  the  small  number  of  girls  in  the 
schools  betrays  the  lack  of  interest  in  female  education  referred  to 
in  connection  with  the  Fiske  Seminary,  still  it  is  a  cheering  fact 
that  the  figures  are  larger  by  50  per  cent,  than  they  were  five  years 
ago.  The  expense  upon  missionary  funds  was  about  $14  a  school 
for  those  in  Persia,  or  48  cents  a  pupil.  The  schools  within 
Turkish  territory  cost  about  2,5  per  cent.  more. 

Church  Building. — The  brethren  of  this  station  have  been  urging 
for  the  past  four  or  five  years  the  very  great  necessity  of  enlarged 
appropriations  in  the  line  of  church  erection,  to  meet  the  crying 
need  of  some  congregations.  The  Board  has  appreciated  the 
demand,  and  has  been  able  to  put  at  the  disposal  of  the  station  a 
somewhat  larger  fund.  On  this  matter  Mr.  Coan  writes:  "The 
full  estimates  allowed  us  for  church  building  this  year  have  enabled 


WESTERN    PERSIA— MOUNTAIN    STATION.  207 

us  to  put  up  in  Cowsee,  a  village  very  badly  off  for  a  place  of  wor- 
ship and  pastor's  residence,  as  complete  a  set  of  buildings  as  we 
have  on  the  plain  ;  they  arc,  a  church  that  will  scat  300,  a  manse, 
and  a  school-room.  They  cost  in  all  a  little  over  $500,  the  church 
contributing  over  $120,  though  it  numbers  but  20  members,  none 
of  whom  are  well  off.  Besides  these,  a  manse  was  erected  in 
Alwatch,  and  houses  were  bought  in  two  other  places,  which,  with 
slight  additions,  will  do  well  for  the  pastors.  A  balance  remains 
for  a  manse  in  Tergawar,  and  a  church  in  Nazee,  it  having  been  too 
late  to  erect  these  this  year."  Mr.  Coan  adds  a  statement  of  most 
gratifying  results  accomplished  on  this  line  during  the  past  six 
years.  Six  churches  have  been  put  up,  in  every  way  creditable  to 
the  Lord's  cause  ;  ten  manses  and  eight  school-houses.  Leaving 
out  one  of  these  churches,  which  was  built  with  funds  outside  of 
mission  appropriations,  these  very  important  additions  to  the 
effectiveness  of  church  work  in  this  field  cost  the  total  sum  of 
$2,511.  The  native  congregations  furnished  something  more  than 
a  fourth  of  this  sum.  It  is  difficult  to  imagine  any  use  of  the 
Church's  benevolent  fund  more  economically  and  advantageously 
placed  than  these  few  hundred  dollars  invested  in  this  score  and 
more  of  important  buildings. 

The  Press. — The  issues  of  the  small  printing  establishment  con- 
nected with  this  station  amounted  the  past  year  to  more  than  a 
million  of  pages.  The  press  cannot  keep  step  with  its  usual  annual 
appropriations  and  the  present  missionary  force  to  work  it,  with  the 
fresh  demands  for  Christian  literature  created  by  the  advance  in 
education  and  intelligence.  It  should  have  a  larger  supply  of 
means.  The  most  important  issue  of  the  year  is  a  new  edition  of 
an  early  work  on  Scripture  Geography  and  History,  carefully 
revised,  and  with  large  additions  up  to  the  most  recent  investiga- 
tions, by  Dr.  Shedd.  Mrs.  Shedd  aids  in  editing  the  Rays  of  Light. 
This  monthly  paper  has  this  year  started  off  with  nearly  one 
hundred  new  subscribers,  or  700  in  all.  The  Revised  Syriac  Bible, 
long  in  process  of  preparation,  is  now  printing  in  this  country  under 
the  superintendence  of  Dr.  Labaree.  It  is  done  at  the  expense  of 
the  American  Bible  Society,  at  their  house  in  New  York.  It  is  said 
to  be  the  most  laborious  and  difficult  job  which  the  Society  has 
ever  undertaken.  But  no  expense  is  spared  to  make  it  as  perfect  a 
work  as  possible.  The  book  is  eagerly  awaited  by  Syriac  reader 
in  Persia,  Turkey,  and  Russia. 

The  Mountain  Station — Mosul. 

The  first  two  years  in  the  history  of  this  station  were  spent 
mainly  in  exploration  of  the  field  and  settling  on  a  place  of  loca- 
tion. The  past  year  has  been  one  pre-eminently  of  organization. 
The  question  of  location  has  been  decided  in  favor  of  Mosul, 
where  the  earlier  generation  of  missionaries,  forty  years  ago,  made 
so  heroic  but  unsuccessful  an  attempt  to  establish  the  Gospel  in  its 
purity.     It  is  believed   now   that  the  more  thorough  knowledge  of 


20S  WESTERN   PERSIA — MOUNTAIN   STATION. 

the  conditions  of  the  field,  and  precautions  suggested  by  the  many 
years'  residence  of  American  missionaries  in  the  East,  will  enable 
our  missionaries  to  withstand  the  evil  effects  of  the  climate.  An 
absolutely  indispensable  condition  to  the  maintenance  of  health  is  a 
retreat  for  the  summer  from  the  heat  and  malaria  of  the  city. 
Hassan,  where  for  many  years  there  has  been  the  largest  Protestant 
church  on  the  western  side  of  the  mountains,  was  the  place  tried 
last  summer.  There  the  missionaries  tented  for  three  months. 
While  they  escaped  from  malaria,  the  tents  proved  a  very  in- 
sufficient protection  against  the  heat  of  the  sun,  where  the  ther- 
mometer ranged  all  summer  from  920  to  1040  in  the  shade.  A 
well-built  house  in  Hassan,  or  some  other  place  on  the  slopes  of  the 
Kurdish  mountains,  will  be  a  necessary  adjunct  to  the  main  station 
at  Mosul. 

While  thus  encamped  Miss  Melton  gathered  together  a  school  of 
twenty-five  children,  and  Mr.  McDowell  made  a  tour  into  Tiary, 
visiting  the  mountain  outstations.  This  shows  a  practical  idea  of  a 
summer  station  in  bringing  the  missionaries  into  direct  contact  with 
the  Syriac-speaking  part  of  the  field  in  the  Kurdish  mountains  and 
on  the  western  slopes. 

The  event  of  greatest  importance  during  the  year  was  the  transfer 
by  the  American  Board  of  their  work  in  the  Mosul  field  to  this 
Board.  This  was  almost  an  absolute  necessity  from  the  unwisdom 
of  having  two  distinct  missions  working  independently  in  the  same 
field,  or  in  fields  that  virtually  overlapped  one  another.  This 
transfer  enlarges  the  sphere  of  the  new  station,  so  that  it  is  no 
longer  a  mountain  station  merely.  It  now  includes  the  rugged 
mountain  valleys  of  Thoma  and  Tiary,  the  broad  plains  of  the 
Tigris,  and  the  districts  lying  between  the  river  and  the  mountains. 
The  whole  of  the  eastern  division  of  the  Syrian  race  from  Oroomiah 
to  Mosul  are  now  within  the  field  of  the  West  Persia  Mission. 
May  this  divided  and  oppressed  people  become  at  last  reunited  in 
a  true  and  living  faith  in  Jesus  Christ,  and  may  our  Church  be 
honored  by  God  as  the  instrument  in  accomplishing  this  result. 

The  Rev.  J.  A.  Ainslie  and  wife,  who  for  several  years  have  been 
laboring  in  Mosul  under  the  A.  B.  C  F.  M.,  are  added  to  the  num- 
ber of  our  missionaries.  Mr.  Ainslie  has  been  most  earnest  in  his 
advocacy  of  the  permanent  occupation  of  Mosul  as  a  centre  for 
missionary  work,  and  most  self-sacrificing  in  his  efforts  to  effect  it, 
and  will  be  a  welcome  and  valuable  addition  to  the  force. 

The  evangelistic  and  church  work  gives  many  reasons  for  en- 
couragement. The  Mosul  church  has  been  more  thoroughly  united 
in  the  purpose  to  co-operate  with  the  missionaries  in  aggressive 
Christian  work.  The  church  in  Dihi,  though  without  a  pastor,  has 
shown  a  spirit  of  true  self-reliance  in  maintaining  the  regular 
services  of  worship,  and  in  doing  missionary  work  in  the  neighbor- 
ing villages.  Twelve  new  members  have  been  brought  into  the 
church.  In  the  other  outstations  thirty-eight  are  reported  as 
applicants  for  membership.  The  field  for  aggressive  work  is  almost 
unlimited.     The  large  papal  villages  near  Mosul,  it  is  believed,  will 


WESTERN    PERSIA— TABRIZ.  209 

be  open  for  any  well-sustained  effort  to  preach  the  Gospel. 
Spasmodic  efforts  cannot  succeed,  for  secession  from  the  Church  of 
Rome  means  persecution  in  every  possible  way.  The  Nestorians, 
yet  clinging  to  the  old  faith  of  the  Church,  are  everywhere  acces- 
sible. Even  the  Kurds  can  be  reached,  as  was  apparent  last 
summer  from  the  public  disputation  on  religion  between  Dr. 
Wishard  and  a  prominent  Mohammedan  Mullah. 

The  medical  work,  in  spite  of  great  inconveniences,  has  been  the 
right  hand  of  defence,  disarming  suspicion  and  making  friends 
everywhere.  A  notable  example  was  Dr.  Wishard's  visit  to  the 
Kurdish  chief,  near  Hassan,  who  had  seemed  unfriendly,  but  whose 
friendship,  once  gained,  proved  helpful. 

Miss  Melton's  accession  to  this  station  gave  new  impetus  to  the 
work  among  the  women.  The  station  asks  for  another  lady  mis- 
sionary to  work  among  the  Arabic-speaking  women  in  Mosul. 

Tabriz. 

The  year  1891  will  always  be  a  memorable  one  in  the  history  of 
this  station,  from  the  completion  and  occupation  of  the  new  church 
edifice  and  the  Boys'  School  building.  They  are  conspicuous  re- 
sults of  much  toil  and  patient  effort,  and  are  most  suitably  adapted 
to  their  respective  ends.  They  meet  two  very  urgent  wants  of  the 
station,  and  their  erection  has  already  given  new  impulse  to  the 
work.  The  church  was  built  by  the  generous  gift  of  Mr.  J.  I.  Cov- 
ington, of  Brooklyn,  as  a  memorial  of  his  beloved  daughter,  Ruth 
Covington.  Mr.  Wilson  reports  that  it  is  one  of  the  finest  build- 
ings in  the  city  of  Tabriz.  The  whole  cost  of  the  erection  was  less 
than  $3,000.  It  was  dedicated  December  21,  1891,  with  appropri- 
ate services,  attended  by  a  congregation  of  250  persons,  the  largest 
ever  assembled  for  Protestant  worship  in  that  city,  composed  of 
Armenians,  Mohammedans,  and  Europeans,  including  the  acting 
English  Consul.  It  is  very  gratifying  that  the  audiences  have  kept 
up  since  that  day  at  a  larger  number  than  ever  known  befoie.  This 
is  partly  owing  undoubtedly  to  the  very  impressive  preaching  of  the 
Rev.  Gregor  Guergian,  an  earnest  and  efficient  evangelist,  who 
formerly  labored  successfully  with  our  brethren  in  this  city,  and  has 
come  again  to  their  assistance  for  a  time. 

The  general  work  of  the  station  has  continued  much  the  same  as 
in  former  years.  While  the  new  missionaries  have  been  acquiring 
the  language,  the  brunt  of  all  kinds  of  work  has  come  heavily  upon 
Mr.  Wilson.  The  large  amount  of  building  going  on  has  made  it 
exceptionally  hard  for  him. 

The  antagonisms  to  the  Gospel  cause  from  the  Armenians  con- 
tinues strong  as  ever.  Their  repulsion  from  the  purer  spiritual 
teachings  of  God's  Word  is  cause  for  sadness.  From  this  flow 
wanton  misrepresentations  of  the  missionaries  and  great  bitterness 
towards  any  of  their  people  who  are  suspected  of  leaning  towards 
the  Protestants.  The  strong  national  spirit  of  the  Armenians  finds 
a  responsive  chord  in  the  hearts  of  patriotic  men  of  every  nation.

2IO  WESTERN    PERSIA — TABRIZ. 

But  when  acceptance  of  any  interpretation  of  the  Word  of  God 
outside  the  tenets  of  their  own  church  is  branded  as  unpatriotic  and 
disloyal,  and  men  who  seek  purer  spiritual  instruction  than  that  which 
their  church  affords  are  persecuted  therefor,  liberty-loving  Ameri- 
cans can  only  regard  it  as  religious  intolerance  and  tyranny.  Not- 
withstanding the  intense  opposition,  the  power  of  the  truth  cannot 
be  wholly  resisted.  There  are  direct  results  apparent  in  the  spiritual 
awakening  of  individuals,  and  a  widening  interest  in  the  preaching 
of  an  evangelical  Gospel.  The  indirect  fruits  of  missionary  labor 
and  example  are  also  conspicuously  on  the  increase.  Among  other 
things  may  be  mentioned  a  special  preaching  service  started  by  the 
Old  Armenians  ;  a  Sunday-school,  with  lessons  partly  secular,  partly 
religious  ;  a  night-school  where  grown  men  may  learn  to  read,  and  a 
woman's  society  to  raise  funds  to  aid  the  poorer  children  with  books 
and  clothing.  All  these  are  traceable  to  efforts  of  our  missionaries 
along  the  same  lines,  and  look  in  the  right  direction.  Who  can  tell 
how  far  this  influence  in  favor  of  higher  ideals  of  Christian  life  and 
church  practice  may  lead? 

Towards  the  latter  part  of  the  year  the  workers  in  the  field,  for- 
eign and  native,  seemed  to  receive  a  fresh  outpouring  of  the  spirit 
of  prayer  and  supplication,  the  fruitage  of  which  has  been  gratefully 
recognized  in  the  succeeding  months.  Possibly  the  severe  bereave- 
ment of  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Wilson  in  the  death  of  their  only  child, 
named  for  his  sainted  missionary  grandfather,  Samuel  Rhea,  which 
bowed  a  large  community  in  sympathetic  sorrow,  may  have  prepared 
the  way  for  the  deeper  work  of  the  Divine  Spirit.  Certainly  the 
opportunities  to  speak  of  Him  who  is  "  the  Resurrection  and  the 
Life"  to  the  more  than  two  hundred  who  made  visits  of  condolence 
illustrates  how  the  personal  trials  and  sorrows  of  our  missionaries 
become  instrumentalities  in  their  Heavenly  Father's  hands  for 
heightening  the  effect  of  the  truth  of  His  Son. 

The  church  in  the  city  of  Tabriz  now  numbers  sixty  members. 
Four  were  received  last  year  and  five  are  on  probation.  The  con- 
tributions of  the  church  to  its  own  work  amounted  to  $150,  and  to 
foreign  missions  $20.  Sunday  preaching  services  are  held  in  Turk- 
ish, Armenian,  and  English.  The  Sunday-school  has  classes  in  four 
languages. 

Educational  Work.— The.  new  buildings  for  the  Boys'  School  are 
admirably  adapted  to  the  needs  of  the  institution,  and  great  happi- 
ness is  felt  in  the  transfer  from  the  old  quarters  to  these  spacious 
apartments,  for  which  the  whole  church  is  indebted  to  the  munifi- 
cence of  Mrs.  W.  Thaw.  The  site  of  the  new  buildings  and  one  of 
the  structures,  now  turned  into  a  dormitory,  were  intended  for  a 
distillery,  but  the  iniquitous  plan  was  prohibited  by  the  government, 
shall  we  not  say  also  by  the  Lord  of  Hosts,  that  this  house  of  the 
righteous  might  stand  thereon.  The  lot  contains  ample  ground  for 
the  schools,  the  future  hospital  and  missionary  residences. 

The  attendance  on  the  school  was  75,  of  whom  25  were  boarders. 
A  small  charge  is  now  made  for  such  boarders  as  are  able  to  pay. 
Having  an  eye  to  the  relations  of  missionary  training  in  Tabriz  to 


WESTERN    PERSIA — TABRIZ.  211 

the  evangelical  cause  across  the  borders  in  Russia,  our  brethren 
have  secured  a  teacher  of  Russian,  the  son  of  an  Armenian  evan- 
gelical brother  in  Russia.  The  religious  spirit  of  the  institution, 
Mr.  Wilson  reports,  has  been  encouraging.  Four  of  the  students 
and  one  of  the  teachers  give  evidence  of  being  born  again.  The 
Theological  class  has  done  well  in  study,  and  the  young  men  have 
proven  themselves  valuable  helpers  in  the  work  as  evangelists  during 
their  vacations.  Great  hopes  are  entertained  for  their  future  use- 
fulness when  they  go  out  to  permanent  work,  as  they  will  now  do 
soon.  The  larger  part  of  the  instruction  has  been  given  by  Mr. 
Wilson.  He  has  had  the  assistance  of  Mrs.  Wilson  in  some  studies, 
and  of  Mr.  Guleserian  in  Armenian  church  history  and  some  other 
departments.  Altogether  the  outlook  of  the  school  is  hopeful.  It 
never  had  a  better  standing  in  the  community  nor  ever  accom- 
plished better  work  than  to-day.  Jn  December  it  was  visited  by 
the  Persian  Agent  of  Foreign  Affairs,  who  expressed  himself  well 
pleased  with  the  arrangements  and  studies,  and  afterwards  sent  a 
present  to  the  school  indicative  of  his  appreciation  of  it. 

Aside  from  this  larger  institution,  this  station  has  had  under  its 
charge  eight  common  schools,  with  180  scholars  in  attendance,  one- 
third  of  them  girls. 

The  School  for  Girls. — This  has  continued  under  the  efficient 
superintendence  of  Mrs.  Van  Hook.  No  separate  report  of  its  do- 
ings for  the  year  past  has  been  received,  but  it  seems  to  have  enjoyed 
its  usual  prosperity.  Twenty-seven  pupils  are  recorded  as  members 
of  the  institution. 

Work  for  Women. — The  absence  of  Miss  Jewett  a  part  of  the 
year,  on  a  visit  to  America,  has  added  not  a  little  to  the  responsi- 
bilities of  the  other  ladies.  Miss  Holliday  has,  in  addition  to  her 
supervision  of  the  kindergarten  for  girls  in  the  Lalawa  quarter, 
given  much  time  to  calling  on  Moslem  and  Armenian  families  for 
the  purpose  of  Christian  reading  and  conversation.  She  has  found 
special  access  to  some  Mohammedan  families  by  reason  of  the  in- 
struction in  English  which  she  has  been  able  to  give  a  number  of 
young  men,  some  of  them  connected  with  the  Persian  army.  One 
of  these,  a  Major,  on  going  with  his  regiment  to  another  part  of  the 
kingdom,  took  with  him  a  Persian  and  English  Bible  to  study  during 
his  absence.  Another  declared  his  desire  to  come  to  the  Sabbath 
service,  "  to  worship  God  and  the  Son  of  God,"  but  feared  the  dis- 
pleasure of  his  government,  and  urged  the  missionaries  to  obtain  for 
him  permission  to  come. 

Dr.  Bradford  has  continued  her  very  valuable  medical  labors 
among  women  of  all  classes,  both  in  the  city  of  Tabriz  and  without. 
During  the  summer  she  and  Miss  Holliday  made  a  tour  of  some 
days  in  a  region  east  of  the  city,  seldom  visited  before  by  Christian 
teachers.  Large  crowds  of  wild,  fanatical  women  gathered  around 
their  tent  in  every  village  at  which  they  stopped.  Their  rude,  un- 
taught condition  appealed  most  pathetically  to  these  messengers  of 
Gospel  light.     In  one  village  they  met  friends  of  a  former  house-

patient  in  Tabriz,  which  put  them  at  once  on  a  friendly  footing  with 
the  whole  community. 

During  the  year  Dr.  Bradford  has  made  565  professional  calls  ; 
has  dispensed  medicine  at  the  dispensary  to  a  few  less  than  3,000 
persons. 

General  Medical  Work. — Dr.  Vanneman  has  been  engaged  chiefly 
through  the  year  in  the  study  of  the  language,  but  he  has  improved 
opportunities  for  some  general  practice,  making  over  1,000  prescrip- 
tions, and  receiving  for  medicines  some  $125.  He  has  a  class  of 
four  or  five  Persians  reading  medicine  with  him. 

Outstations. — In  Maragha  Pastor  Moshee  retains  his  excellent 
reputation  for  fidelity  and  good  sense,  and  is  slowly  winning  his 
way  in  the  face  of  stern  opposition.  Two  were  received  into  the 
church  during  the  year.  In  Mianduab  and  Daralik  services  have 
been  kept  up  by  the  school  teachers.  The  work  in  Soujbulak  has 
been  much  interrupted  by  the  Kurdish  disturbances  in  connection 
with  the  abduction  of  a  Christian  girl,  an  English  subject,  by  the 
Kurds.  It  at  one  time  threatened  to  become  an  international  ques- 
tion. Under  the  excitement  it  was  deemed  prudent  for  our  helper 
to  withdraw  for  a  while. 

Important  evangelistic  tours  have  been  made  during  the  year,  in 
Kurdistan,  and  in  parts  of  the  Caucasus  by  experienced  helpers. 
Their  visit  to  the  evangelical  brethren  in  the  Caucasus,  from  which 
earnest  appeals  for  assistance  are  constantly  coming,  gave  great  joy 
and  encouragement  to  those  numerous  and  growing  centres  of  evan- 
gelical light. 

Salmas. 

The  year  opened  under  a  great  deal  of  depression  and  anxiety. 
The  punishment  of  the  murderer  of  Mrs.  Wright,  by  imprisonment 
for  life,  had  created  among  the  Armenians  an  alienation  towards  the 
missionaries.  That  an  Armenian  should  be  punished  thus,  for  kill- 
ing a  woman,  and  by  a  Mohammedan  government,  was  felt  to  be  a 
disgrace  to  their  nation.  Shortly  after  came  another  murder  in  a 
near  village  of  a  Catholic  Armenian  priest,  by  unknown  persons, 
giving  rise  to  new  agitation  and  creating  a  painful  sense  of  the  in- 
security of  life  ;  all  to  be  greatly  aggravated  in  a  few  weeks  later  by 
still  a  third  murder,  near  to  Mr.  Mechlin's  residence,  now  of  an 
Armenian  priest  by  one  of  his  own  nation.  While  the  heightened 
sense  of  insecurity  grew  to  be  oppressive,  our  friends  were  kept 
under  the  shadow  of  Jehovah's  wings  in  confidence  and  peace. 
The  outcome,  we  are  glad  to  say,  has  been  rather  favorable  to  their 
standing  in  the  community  than  otherwise.  The  tide  of  hostility  is 
ebbing  away.  The  returning  sense  of  safety  is  a  blessing  for  which 
they  feel  grateful. 

Mr.  Wright  left  in  the  early  part  of  the  year  to  bring  home  his 
motherless  children.  Up  to  the  time  of  his  coming  away  he  was 
principally  engaged,  at  the  solicitation  of  the  British  and  Foreign 
Bible  Society,  in  revising  the  New  Testament  in  Azerbaijan  Turkish, 
for   which  Mr.  Wright  has  special  qualifications.     During  his  so- 


WESTERN    PERSIA — SALMAS.  213 

journ  he  is  correcting  the  proof-sheets  of  this  work  as  they  come 
from  Germany.  He  is  expecting  to  return  in  the  fall.  The  burden 
of  care  and  anxiety  connected  with  the  station  has  fallen  chiefly 
upon  Mr.  Mechlin.  He  has  itinerated  as  far  as  practicable  among 
the  villages,  and  has  preached  quite  regularly  on  the  Sabbath.  The 
congregations  are  not  large.  He  also  has  stated  exercises  with  the 
helpers  at  the  outstations  who  assemble  at  frequent  intervals  for 
Biblical  study  and  pastoral  conference. 

The  work  at  the  village  of  Oola,  under  Mr.  Wright's  charge  until 
he  left,  is  well  cared  for  by  the  excellent  pastor,  a  Nestorian  from 
Oroomiah.  Fie  is  greatly  esteemed  by  all  classes  in  the  community, 
and  is  zealous  in  visiting  other  villages  than  his  own  to  preach  the 
Word  of  Life.  At  Kohna  Shaher  the  preacher  for  the  Armenians  is 
active  and  useful.  Those  who  attend  his  preaching  are  a  good  deal 
enlightened,  but  none  have  come  out  for  the  truth  as  yet.  The  helper 
there  among  the  Jews,  started  a  school  for  the  Jewish  children 
which  was  for  a  time  very  encouraging,  but  its  success  was  its  mis- 
fortune. The  leading  spirits  of  the  community  became  alarmed  at 
the  possible  consequences  to  the  children,  and  forbade  their  further 
attendance.  The  homes  of  the  people  are  open,  however,  to  the 
preacher,  and  he  has  abundant  opportunities  to  preach  to  these  chil- 
dren of  Israel  of  the  true  Messiah. 

In  the  city  of  Khoi  the  Nestorian  preacher  continues  to  meet  with 
encouragement,  although  opposition  is  rife.  Some  of  the  Armenian 
brethren  here  show  great  firmness  in  their  adhesion  to  the  truth. 
And  outside  of  the  church  the  cause  of  truth  and  righteousness  as 
taught  from  the  evangelical  pulpit  and  schools  has  warm  defenders. 
One  principal  man  in  the  Armenian  community  sends  his  daughter 
to  Miss  Cyrene  Van  Duzee's  school  in  Salmas.  The  priest  at  a 
meeting  called  to  discuss  communal  matters,  tried  to  intimidate  this 
father  from  sending  his  girl  to  the  Protestant  school.  It  only  led  to 
a  defiant  address  from  the  father  and  a  stormy  discussion,  which 
the  priest  hastened  to  allay  by  saying,  it  did  not  really  matter  about 
the  girls,  it  was  the  boys  who  should  not  be  allowed  to  attend  the 
schools  of  the  Protestants.  Among  the  Mohammedans  of  this  town 
the  light  of  the  Gospel  is  spreading.  Many  are  reading  the  Chris- 
tian Scriptures,  some  with  a  true  desire,  apparently,  to  know  the 
truth  of  Christ.  There  is  one  who  seems  not  far  from  the  kingdom. 
Woman  s  Work. — Miss  Cyrene  Van  Duzee gives  an  interesting  re- 
port of  her  school.  The  number  of  scholars  enrolled  is  less  than 
last  year,  but  the  average  attendance  has  been  higher.  She  has  had 
good  help  from  the  Armenian  assistants  in  her  service.  Just  before 
the  close  of  her  last  term  of  school  five  of  her  boarding  pupils 
brought  joy  to  her  heart  by  telling  her  of  their  wish  to  be  "God's 
girls."  Two  of  the  thirteen  boarders  were  already  hopeful  Christians. 
Six  of  the  scholars  were  married  during  the  year.  One  of  them,  a 
sweet  Christian  girl,  became  the  wife  of  the  Nestorian  preacher  in 
Kohna  Shaher,  and  has  already  begun  to  let  her  light  shine  there, 
gathering  a  little  school  of  girls,  and  holding  meetings  for  the 
women.     This  is  an  unusual  step  for  a   newly  married  bride  in  that 


214  WESTERN    TERSIA — STATISTICS. 

land.     Khoorma,  the  Bible-woman,  continues  her  labors,  and  has 
some  special  encouragement  among  Mohammedan  women. 

Village  Schools. — There  have  been  seven  schools  under  the  charge 
of  the  station,  with  248  pupils,  boys  and  girls.  They  have  borne  an 
unusually  excellent  character.  Their  influence  for  good  is  apparent 
also  in  the  improved  schools  conducted  by  the  Armenians.  When 
Mr.  Wright  came  first  to  this  field  there  was  not  a  school  in  any 
Amernian  town  that  used  the  modern  text-books ;  now  nearly  all 
have  them.

SIAM  AND  LAOS  MISSIONS. 
Siam  Mission. 

Bangkok  :  on  the  River  Meinam,  25  miles  from  its  mouth  ;  occupied  as  a  mission 
station,  1840  to  1844,  and  from  1847  to  the  present  time ;  missionary  laborers — Rev. 
Messrs.  J.  A.  Eakin,  J.  B.  Dunlap,  and  F.  L.  Snyder,  and  their  wives ;  Rev.  A.  W. 
Cooper;  Miss  Edna  S.  Cole,  Miss  S.  E.  Parker,  Miss  Elsie  J.  Bates,  and  Miss  L.J. 
Cooper  ;  one  native  licentiate  preacher  ;  seven  native  Christian  teachers. 

Petchaburee  :  on  the  western  side  of  the  Gulf  of  Siam,  eighty-five  miles  southwest 
of  Bangkok  ;  occupied  as  a  mission  station  in  1861 ;  missionary  laborers — Rev.  and  Mrs. 
V.  G.  McClure  ;  Rev.  Chas.  E.  Eckels,  Walter  B.  Toy,  M.D.,  and  Mrs.  Toy;  Misses 
Margaret  and  Annabel  Gait ;  one  licentiate  ;  twelve  native  teachers.  Out  stations :  Bang- 
kaboon.Paktalay,  Tharua  Banphai,  Ban  Laam,  and  other  places. 

Ratburee  :  occupied  as  a  mission  station  in  1889 ;  missionary  laborers — James  B. 
Thompson,  M.D.,  and  Mrs.  Thompson  ;  one  licentiate  ;  two  native  teachers. 

In  this  country  :  Rev.  and  Mrs.  E.  P.  Dunlap,  Rev.  and  Mrs.  E.  Wachter,  Miss  Edna 
S.  Cole. 

The  stated  work  of  the  mission  during  the  past  year  has  been  the 
maintenance  of  preaching  services  at  seven  churches,  the  care  of  six- 
teen schools  with  an  enrollment  of  four  hundred  and  thirty-one  pupils, 
the  oversight  of  two  dispensaries,  and  the  issue  from  the  press  of  three 
and  a  half  millions  of  pages,  chiefly  Holy  Scriptures.  The  brethren 
report  but  few  additions  to  church  membership,  and  yet  write  that 
there  are  many  cheering  signs  of  progress. 

The  mission  force  has  been  increased  by  the  arrival  of  Dr.  and 
Mrs.  Walter  B.  Toy,  the  Misses  Margaret  and  Annabel  Gait,  and  Miss 
Elsie  J.  Bates.  Dr.  and  Mrs.  Toy  and  the  Misses  Gait  have  been 
appointed  to  Petchaburee — Dr.  Toy  to  fill  the  vacancy  made  by  the 
resignation  of  Dr.  Lee  last  spring,  and  the  Misses  Gait  to  take 
charge  of  the  work  formerly  under  the  supervision  of  Miss  Cort  and 
Miss  Small.  Miss  Bates  is  to  be  stationed  at  Bangkok,  in  the  Wang 
Lang  Seminary.  Mr.  and  Miss  Cooper  have  been  transferred  from 
Ratburee  to  the  Bangkok  station,  Mr.  Cooper  to  assist  Mr.  Eakin  in 
the  boys'  school,  and  Miss  Cooper  to  aid  in  the  girls'  school.  Dr. 
Hays,  having  served  the  Board  faithfully  since  his  entrance  on  the 
work  in  Bangkok  in  1886,  has  resigned  his  connection  with  the  Board 
in  order  to  devote  his  time  entirely  to  what  we  hope  will  be  a  most 
useful  work  in  connection  with  the  Government. 

Miss  Small's  death  at  Petchaburee  in  the  early  summer  left  a  va- 
cancy which  the  mission  have  felt  it  would  be  difficult  to  fill.  She 
had  completed  her  fifth  year  of  service  in  connection  with  the  Petcha- 
buree Station,  and  was  at  the  time  of  her  death  the  senior  missionary. 
"  She  was  a  consecrated  Christian,  a  devoted  missionary,  and  success- 
ful teacher."  Her  loss  will  be  deeply  felt  by  all  who  were  associated 
with  her. 


2l6  SIAM — EVANGELISTIC    WORK. 


Evangelistic    Work. 

Bangkok. — Mr.  Snyder,  in  giving  his  time  more  directly  to  touring 
and  to  evangelistic  efforts,  has  been  enabled  to  sell  during  the  year 
more  than  eleven  hundred  portions  of  the  Holy  Scriptures.  During 
a  trip  to  Ayuthia,  a  former  station  of  our  mission,  several  portions  of 
Scripture  were  sold.  Mr.  Snyder  reports  that  at  this  place  the  people 
were  eager  listeners  to  the  truth,  and  earnestly  besought  the  return  of 
missionaries  to  their  city.  Kroo  See,  a  colporteur  of  the  mission, 
made  seven  tours  out  of  Bangkok,  beside  a  very  large  number  in  the 
city  itself;  during  the  year  he  disposed  of  about  eight  thousand  tracts, 
donating  only  the  smallest  and  leaflet-tracts  which  are  for  that  pur- 
pose. 

The  First  Church  has  added  to  its  roll  but  one  member  on  profes- 
sion of  faith,  yet  the  report  of  the  station  reads  :  "  That  internally 
there  is  a  manifest  quickening  of  spiritual  life  and  a  large  number  are 
on  the  eve  of  a  decision  for  Christ.  Three  delinquent  members,  after 
remaining  away  for  years,  have  been  brought  back  ;  four  family  altars 
have  been  set  up  where  family  prayers  were  before  unknown  ;  the 
weekly  prayer-meeting  has  been  well  attended ;  and  volunteer  exer- 
cises have  increased  in  frequency  and  profitableness.  A  woman's 
prayer-meeting  has  been  started  with  an  attendance  of  twenty,  eleven 
of  whom  lead  in  prayer.  The  contributions  of  .the  church  have  in- 
creased twenty-five  per  cent.  The  Sabbath-school  reports  a  member- 
ship of  153  scholars,  a  gain  over  last  year  of  25.  A  new  departure 
was  made  during  the  year  by  taking  up  Sabbath-school  collections." 

The  Second  Church  has  added  to  its  membership  during  the  year 
on  profession  of  faith  two  girls  from  the  Wang  Lang  Girls'  School, 
and  restored  to  full  communion  a  former  member.  Three  children 
have  been  baptized.  The  Sabbath-school  attendance  has  decreased 
somewhat,  due  in  part  to  a  falling  off  in  the  number  of  scholars  in 
the  Wang  Lang  Seminary.  The  contributions  of  the  scholars,  how- 
ever, have  slightly  increased. 

Two  other  Sabbath-schools  are  reported  in  connection  with  the 
Bangkok  Station,  one  on  the  Baptist  Compound,  and  the  other  con- 
nected with  the  new  day-school  at  Ban  Mai. 

Petchaburee. — The  regular  preaching  services  have  been  maintained 
at  four  of  the  churches  through  the  year,  namely  :  Petchaburee,  Bang- 
kaboon,  Paktalay,  and  Ban  Laam.  At  the  Tharua  Banphai  church 
regular  monthly  services  were  conducted  during  more  than  half  the 
year.  The  work  of  preaching  and  supplying  the  pulpits  of  these 
churches  has  devolved  upon  the  two  clerical  missionaries,  Messrs. 
McClure  and  Eckels,  as  there  are  no  native  preachers  connected  with 
the  station. 

The  First  Church. — Two  preaching  services  have  been  conducted 
regularly  each  Sabbath,  together  with  the  Sabbath-school,  the  weekly 
prayer-meeting,  and  the  morning  chapel  service.  In  addition  to  the 
regular  services  special  meetings  have  been  held  on  different  occa- 
sions with  gratifying  results.  Four  persons  have  been  added  to  the 
church  on  profession  of  their  faith.      Earnest  efforts  have  been  made 


SI  AM  —  EDUCATIONAL   WORK.  217 

on  the  part  of  the  missionaries  to  secure  better  Sabbath  observance 
more  faithful  church  attendance,  and  a  more  consistent  Christian  liv- 
ing among  the  members  of  the  church. 

Considerable  evangelistic  effort  has  been  made  in  other  directions. 
A  tour  was  made  up  the  Petchaburee  River  by  Mr.  Eckels  and  Mr. 
McClure.  They  were  limited  as  to  time,  but  the  trip  was  of  much 
importance  from  the  fact  that  it  lay  in  a  region  seldom  visited  by  the 
missionaries  or  native  helpers,  and  a  knowledge  of  the  country  was 
gained  that  will  be  valuable  in  planning  for  future  labors.  Trips  were 
also  made  to  various  outlying  villages,  and  wayside  work  in  and  around 
Petchaburee  was  vigorously  prosecuted. 

Ratburee. — A  regular  preaching  service  has  been  held  on  the  Com- 
pound each  Sabbath  morning,  immediately  after  the  Sabbath-school ; 
also  an  afternoon  service  on  alternate  Sabbaths  at  the  homes  of  two 
of  the  native  helpers.  The  missionaries  of  the  station  write  that 
"  the  attendance  at  these  outside  appointments  has  been  small  and 
yet  the  work  is  encouraging.  The  Gospel  has  been  preached  to 
several  hundreds  of  persons  and  the  work  will  not  be  without  results." 

Mr.  Cooper  closes  the  report  for  the  Ratburee  Station  with  the 
following  paragraph  :  "  No  church  has  yet  been  organized  at  this  new 
station,  and,  so  far  as  known,  there  have  been  no  conversions  during 
the  year.  Yet  there  are  not  lacking  cheering  signs  of  progress.  Much 
preliminary  work  has  been  done.  A  firm  hold  has  been  gained  upon 
the  confidence  and  good-will  of  the  community.  By  precept  and  by 
example  many  have  been  taught  to  appreciate  something  of  the  con- 
trast between  the  religion  of  Buddha  and  that  of  Jesus  Christ." 

Educational   Work. 

Bangkok. — The  Bangkok  Christian  High  School  has  had  a  total 
enrollment  of  119,  a  gam  over  last  year  of  17.  In  spite  of  heat  and 
drought  the  school  was  kept  in  session  during  the  entire  year.  The 
following  quotation  is  from  Mr.  Eakin's  report  :  "  The  students  have 
been  diligent  in  their  studies,  and  have  made  good  progress  in  all 
branches.  The  course  of  study  has  been  advanced,  so  that  the  Fourth 
Grade  is  almost  as  far  along  now  as  the  Fifth  Grade  was  at  this  time 
last  year.  And  something  has  been  done  toward  improving  the 
methods  of  our  native  teachers.  The  school  is  now  fairly  graded,  and 
we  shall  soon  be  able  to  require  all  students  to  come  up  fully  to  the 
standard  laid  down  in  the  course."  Mr.  Eakin,  in  alluding  to  the 
Christian  influences  which  surround  the  school,  adds  :  "  The  students 
have  attended  the  morning  prayers  every  week-day  morning.  Every 
night  they  have  prayers  conducted  by  themselves.  All  the  boarders 
and  nearly  all  the  day-scholars  are  members  of  the  Sabbath-school. 
They  have  seemed  to  engage  in  the  religious  studies  of  the  school 
with  entire  good-will  and  readiness  ;  yet  with  all  this  there  has  not 
been  one  student  during  the  past  year  who  has  professed  faith  in 
Christ.  We  are  very  sorry  for  this,  but  not  discouraged.  If  the  seed 
is  sown  faithfully  the  harvest  must  come,  though  it  be  long  delayed, 
for  God's  Word  is  sure.     We  know  that  several  of  the  older  students 


2]  8  SI  AM — EDUCATIONAL   WORK. 

are  seriously  considering  the  subject  of  religion,  and  we  wait  for  the 
Divine  blessing." 

The  Wang  Lang  Female  Seminary  has  numbered  44  pupils  through 
the  year.  In  the  early  summer  Miss  Cole,  who  had  been  in  charge 
of  the  school  for  several  years,  was  forced  to  return  to  the  United 
States  for  a  much-needed  rest,  and  Miss  Parker,  who  had  been  on  the 
field  but  a  few  months,  was  compelled  to  take  the  principalship.  Some 
assistance  was  rendered  Miss  Parker,  however,  by  Miss  Cooper,  of 
Ratburee.  Miss  Parker  reports  that  the  pupils  have  made  good  prog- 
ress in  their  studies,  and  that  the  patrons  have  expressed  themselves 
as  well  satisfied  with  the  work  done.  Forty-four  girls  were  enrolled, 
two  of  whom  united  with  the  church  on  profession  of  faith. 

A  New  Day-School  at  Ban  Mai  was  opened  last  May  with  four 
pupils,  but  in  a  short  time  it  was  found  necessary  to  enlarge  the  room 
where  the  pupils  had  been  gathering.  The  school  has  had  an  aggre- 
gate attendance  of  about  fifty  scholars,  and  is  entirely  self-supporting. 
The  teacher  is  one  of  the  graduates  of  the  Sum  Ray  School. 

Bctchaouree.^-Ten  schools  have  been  in  operation  during  the  year, 
and  one  other  was  open  for  about  three  months.  Two  of  these  are 
boarding-schools  located  on  the  Compound,  five  are  day-schools  in 
various  parts  of  the  city,  and  four  are  in  neighboring  villages. 

The  Boys  Boarding-School  has  been  under  the  care  of  Mr.  Eckels. 
Thirty  boys  were  enrolled,  of  whom  17  were  boarders.  Mr.  Eckels, 
in  reporting  the  year's  work,  writes  :  "  The  school  has  done  good, 
steady  work  along  the  line  of  the  course  of  study  recently  adopted. 
The  instruction  has  been  given  chiefly  by  the  native  teacher,  Koo 
Daang.  Evening  prayers  have  been  held  with  the  boarders ;  all  of 
the  pupils  have  attended  morning  chapel  and  Sabbath  services.  On 
Sundays  they  are  organized  into  a  Sabbath-school,  which  has  been 
taught  by  Mrs.  McClure." 

The  Hoivard  Industrial  Boarding-School  for  girls  was  under  the 
care  of  Miss  Small  until  the  time  of  her  death  in  June.  The  girls  in 
attendance  up  to  that  date  numbered  26,  of  whom  9  were  boarders. 
After  Miss  Small's  death  the  boarding  scholars  were  all  sent  home, 
except  a  few  orphan  children.  Each  teacher,  however,  was  retained, 
and  the  school  was  continued  as  a  day-school  under  the  supervision 
of  Mrs.  McClure,  with  an  attendance  of  23.  Mrs.  McClure  writes 
that  "  the  religious  interest  among  the  girls  has  not  been  marked. 
One  girl,  however,  united  with  the  church  on  profession  of  faith,  and 
some  interest  is  manifest  among  others  of  the  school." 

The  Outside  Day- Schools.— On  the  departure  of  Miss  Cort  for 
America  the  oversight  of  these  schools  devolved  upon  Miss  Small, 
and  they  were  under  her  direction  until  the  time  of  her  death.  Since 
that  time  Mr.  McClure  has  been  caring  for  them.  Nine  schools  have 
been  open  during  the  year  with  an  average  attendance  of  150.  Mr. 
McClure  reports  that  the  work  done  in  some  of  these  schools  has  been 
successful,  while  in  others  it  has  not  been  satisfactory,  owing  in  part 
to  a  lack  of  the  systematic  care  which  they  have  been  accustomed  to 
receive.  Mr.  McClure  advises  reducing  the  number  of  outside  day- 
schools  to  three,  as  the  mission  force  during  the  next  year  will  not  be

sufficient  to  allow  any  one   to  give   as   much  time   to  them   as  they 
require. 

Ratburee. — The  Boys'  Day-School  has  completed  the  second  year 
of  its  history.  Last  summer  the  missionaries  of  the  station  succeeded 
in  securing  for  the  purposes  of  a  school  building  a  stable  formerly 
owned  and  used  by  a  Siamese  nobleman.  After  a  thorough  renova- 
tion and  many  changes  it  was  found  to  be  admirably  adapted  to  the 
purpose  of  the  Boys'  School,  and  in  June  it  was  occupied  as  such. 
Since  that  date  the  number  of  pupils  has  grown  from  seven  to  twenty- 
one.  Mr.  Cooper  writes  regarding  the  school:  "The  average  as 
regards  regularity  of  attendance  and  diligence  in  study  has  been  ex- 
ceptionally high.  The  school  is  now  in  a  prosperous  condition,  and 
the  outlook  for  the  future  is  full  of  promise.  Daily  morning  prayers 
have  been  held  during  the  year.  With  the  exception  of  two  children 
of  our  native  licentiates,  all  the  boys  come  from  heathen  homes,  and 
our  only  opportunity  for  any  sort  of  religious  influence  is  through  their 
connection  with  the  school.  This  is  only  the  seed-time  of  our  work  ; 
but  we  labor  in  faith  and  hope  and  confident  expectation  of  a  harvest- 
time  to  come." 

Medical   Work. 

Petchaburee. — During  the  earlier  part  of  the  year  the  Hospital  and 
Dispensary  work  was  under  the  care  of  Dr.  Lee.  After  Dr.  Lee's 
resignation,  however,  it  was  under  the  direction  of  the  clerical  mission- 
aries of  the  station,  Messrs.  McClure  and  Eckels,  aided  by  the  faithful 
and  efficient  services  of  a  native  assistant,  Nai  Toy.  Seven  hundred 
and  ten  cases  were  treated,  90  visits  were  made,  and  26  in-patients 
were  treated.  There  were  64  surgical  cases.  Mr.  Eckels,  in  writing 
with  reference  to  this  department,  says  :  "  While  we  are  glad  to  have 
been  able  to  accomplish  as  much  as  we  have  in  this  department  of 
work,  yet  it  is  with  a  sense  of  extreme  relief  that  we  commit  it  for  the 
coming  year  to  the  professional  hands  waiting  to  receive  it." 

Ratburee. — Dr.  Thompson,  in  reporting  the  medical  labors  of  this 
station,  says  :  "  Our  work  has  been  slightly  heavier  this  year  than  last. 
Eight  hundred  cases  have  been  treated,  against  488  in  the  previous 
year.  The  total  number  of  attendances  is  1,786,  and  the  number  of 
prescriptions  1,057.  Religious  instruction  has  been  given  throughout 
the  year  as  far  as  time  and  strength  permitted.  Portions  of  Scripture, 
tracts,  and  leaflets  have  been  given,  and  many  have  heard  the  formal 
preaching  of  the  Gospel  in  addition  to  the  more  direct  word." 

Mission  .Press. 

Under  the  efficient  management  of  Rev.  J.  B.  Dunlap,  who  is  de- 
voting his  time  wholly  to  the  Press,  it  has  become  an  indispensable 
part  of  our  labors  in  Siam.  The  Press,  however,  is  an  important  factor 
in  all  mission  work  in  Siam,  as  it  is  the  only  fountain  from  which  a 
religious  literature  pours  forth  to  the  Siamese.  The  American  Bible 
Society,  through  its  agent,  the  Rev.  John  Carrington,  formerly  a 
missionary  of  this  Board,  makes  large  demands  upon  it.  The  mission- 
aries write  that  Mr.  Carrington  has  manifested  much  energy  and  wis- 


LAOS    MISSION.  22  1 

dom  in  the  management  of  the  Society's  work,  and  that  his  labors  have 
been  crowned  with  rich  spiritual  blessing.  Copies  of  seven  different 
books  of  the  Bible  were  issued  during  the  year.  A  total  of  three  and 
a  half  millions  of  pages  of  Scripture  and  tracts  were  printed,  or  double 
the  number  issued  last  year.  Eleven  thousand  portions  of  Scriptures 
were  distributed  by  our  missionaries  during  the  year,  of  which  less 
than  1,000  copies  were  given  away,  and  more  than  10,000  sold.  Mr. 
Dunlap  writes  that  the  increase  in  the  amount  of  work  done  has  been 
accomplished  by  a  larger  number  of  helpers,  and  by  the  addition  of  a 
new  printing-press  and  a  new  proof-press. 

Just  as  the  report  is  going  to  press,  it  is  learned  that  the  mission  has 
secured  enlarged  accommodations  for  the  Press  on  the  Baptist  Com- 
pound.

It  is  with  pleasure  we  give  the  cheering  report  from  this  far-off  mis- 
sion field.  The  different  lines  of  work  have  been  carried  forward  with 
a  remarkable  degree  of  spiritual  growth  and  prosperity.  There  has 
been  an  increased  attendance  in  all  of  the  schools,  and  far  better 
work  has  been  accomplished  in  each  than  in  previous  years.  There 
has  been  manifest,  also,  a  growing  evangelistic  spirit  among  the  elders 
of  the  churches.  The  missionaries  give  thanks  to  God  for  the  fidelity 
of  the  native  church  members,  and  for  the  ever-widening  doors  which 
they  are  constantly  invited  to  enter.  There  have  been  adult  acces- 
sions to  the  church  membership  at  each  monthly  communion  for  the 
last  forty-six  consecutive  months,  and  since  October,  1884,  there  have 


222  LAOS — EVANGELISTIC   WORK. 

been  but  six  months  when  there  were  no  additions  to  the  church. 
I  -arge  annual  accessions  have  been  made  for  the  last  nine  years,  and 
the  number  has  steadily  grown  larger  each  year. 

During  the  year  the  mission  received  a  strong  and  valuable  addi- 
tion to  its  working  force  in  the  appointment  and  arrival  on  the  field  of 
Rev.  and  Mrs.  Evander  B.  McGilvary,  and  Miss  Margaret  A.  McGil- 
vary. 

At  the  beginning  of  the  year  the  Lakawn  Station  suffered  a  serious 
loss  in  the  death  of  Mrs.  Dr.  Briggs,  after  a  brief  illness.  It  was 
feared  during  the  first  months  of  the  year  that  Mr.  Phraner,  owing  to  ill- 
health,  would  be  forced  to  return  to  the  United  States.  We  are  happy 
to  say  that  his  physician  now  reports  him  well.  Dr.  Briggs  was  com- 
pelled to  seek  rest  and  change  in  a  river  trip  of  some  two  months  to 
Bangkok.  With  the  above-named  exceptions  the  health  of  the  mission- 
aries has  been  good. 

It  is  with  peculiar  gratification  we  report  the  opening  of  a  station 
at  Lapoon.  The  mission  had  long  been  desirous  of  occupying  this 
important  centre,  and  had  made  several  attempts  during  the  past 
years  to  secure  suitable  property  there,  but  without  success. 

The  total  number  of  communicants  reported  by  the  mission  is  1,115, 
of  which  number  241  were  added  to  the  church  during  the  year.  The 
total  number  of  churches  is  6.  In  the  8  schools  of  the  mission  278 
pupils  were  enrolled.  One  ordained  native  evangelist  and  30  native 
helpers  and  teachers  are  reported. 

Evangelistic   Work. 

Cheung-Mai. — The  past  year  has  been  one  of  considerable  extension 
in  evangelistic  efforts.  Labors  were  begun  for  the  first  time  in 
Lapoon  with  gratifying  results.  The  year  opened  with  Dr.  McGilvary' s 
long  tour  to  the  north,  covering  a  period  of  four  months,  and  extending 
to  a  more  northerly  point  than  that  of  any  previous  journey.  The 
following  is  quoted  from  Dr.  McGilvary' s  report  : 

"It  was  interesting  to  notice  that  in  the  uttermost  limit  of  this  vi>it 
there  was  the  same  desire  among  the  various  branches  of  the  Laos 
family  to  know  the  Gospel  that  we  have  seen  in  Cheung-Mai.  After 
returning  to  Cheung  Saan  we  crossed  to  Cheung  Kong,  where  we 
were  cordially  received  by  the  Governor,  who  is  liberal  in  his  views, 
and  a  perfect  gentleman.  Here  our  tent  was  crowded  daily  by  visit- 
ors and  officers  anxious  to  learn  to  read.  Books  left  the  year  before 
had  borne  some  fruit  and  were  constantly  read.  The  people  and 
rulers  of  the  various  provinces  are  all  favorable  to  us.  It  is  needless 
to  say  that  both  the  old  and  the  new  places  visited  deepened  and 
strengthened  convictions  long  since  formed  of  the  whiteness  of  the 
whole  field,  and  of  the  need  of  a  station  there.  During  the  whole 
tour  Loong  Noi  Sa  Li,  and  Ai  Sow,  and  Nan  Sa  Wau,  our  good  elders, 
did  excellent  and  very  satisfactory  service." 

During  the  last  month  of  the  year  Dr.  McGilvary  made  a  two 
weeks'  tour  by  boat  to  the  south,  visiting  all  Christian  villages  along 
the  river,  eleven  or  twelve  in  all,  as  far  south  as  Wang  Pau.     So  that 


LAOS— EVANGELISTIC    WORK.  223 

from  north  to  south  Dr.  McGilvary's  tours  covered  a  distance  of 
about  275  miles. 

Short  tours  have  been  made  by  the  other  missionaries,  as  their 
regular  work  would  allow,  the  fruits  of  which  are  already  beginning  to 
appear. 

At  the  last  meeting  of  the  North  Laos  Presbytery  Rev.  Nan  Tah 
was  appointed  to  do  touring  and  evangelistic  woik.  The  mission 
write  that  "  it  is  a  great  pleasure  to  report  that  he  has  been  faithful  in 
obeying  the  commands  of  Presbytery,  and  that  during  tours  of  greater 
or  less  duration  he  has  been  permitted  to  baptize  many  adults  and 
children.     The  value  of  his  services  is  beyond  computation." 

A  very  important  part  of  the  evangelistic  work  of  this  station  has 
been  done  by  the  theological  students  under  Mr.  Dodd's  supervision 
and  instruction.     Mr.  Dodd  writes  : 

"  During  a  large  portion  of  the  school  year  all  the  members,  both 
teachers  and  pupils,  were  engaged  in  evangelistic  work  somewhere 
every  Sabbath.  The  pupils  were  sent  out  two  by  two,  so  that  for 
many  Sabbaths  during  the  year,  in  from  six  to  ten  different  places  or 
villages,  the  Gospel  was  preached  by  native  evangelists.  To  their 
work  no  doubt  we  may  in  part  ascribe  revived  interest  in  many  places 
and  increased  additions  to  the  churches." 

The  brethren  write  that  the  results  of  the  year's  touring  have  doubly 
proved  what  has  long  been  a  well-established  fact,  that  there  is  no 
surer,  more  direct,  and  more  rapid  method  of  advancing  God's  king- 
dom among  the  Laos  people  than  by  carrying  the  Gospel  to  them  in 
their  villages  and  dwellings. 

Lakawn. — All  the  members  of  this  station  have  been  permitted  to 
take  some  part  in  this  useful  work  of  touring.  Mr.  Taylor  writes  : 
"  Besides  what  has  been  done  in  this  line,  while  pursuing  some  other 
branch  of  the  work,  five  special  tours  have  been  made  among  the 
villages  of  the  province.  These  have  been  to  the  west,  south,  and 
north,  and  occupied  from  one  to  four  weeks  each.  The  work  accom- 
plished on  the  river  banks  also  deserves  special  mention,  as  it  reaches 
not  only  our  own  people  to  the  south  of  us,  but  extends  down  into 
Siam.  In  fact,  on  every  hand  we  find  the  open  doors.  Our  regret  is 
that  this  year  we  have  nowhere  been  able  to  follow  up  the  work  in 
such  a  way  as  to  reap  the  harvest  which  seemed  to  us  ripe." 

Lapoon, — Mr.  and  Mrs.  Dodd  were  permitted  to  enter  Lapoon 
under  the  most  favorable  auspices  in  October.  Already  Mr.  Dodd 
reports  the  organization  of  a  church,  with  an  adult  membership  of  121, 
and  94  baptized  children.  Five  elders  and  two  deacons  have  also 
been  installed.  It  is  cause  for  deep  gratitude  to  God  that  this  station 
has  been  so  successfully  opened  and  that  the  undertaking  has  been 
abundantly  prospered  from  the  beginning.  The  encouraging  features 
attending  the  organization  of  this  effort,  and  the  renewed  interest 
evinced  by  the  native  Christians  resident  there,  give  hope  for  a  much 
enlarged  work  in  this  station  of  our  Laos  Mission. 


224  LAOS— EDUCATIONAL   WORK. 

Churches. 

Cheung-Mai. — Church  work  has  been  faithfully  and  successfully 
maintained  throughout  the  year.  The  completion  of  a  new  church 
building  has  added  considerably  to  the  material  equipment  of  the 
station. 

The  First  Church,  with  Dr.  McGilvary  as  pastor,  assisted  at  times 
by  Mr.  Collins  and  Rev.  Nan  Tah,  has  maintained  regular  services, 
consisting  of  Sabbath  morning  and  evening  worship  and  Sabbath- 
school,  with  two  prayer-meetings  for  women  and  one  for  men  on  Sab- 
bath afternoons,  and  on  week  days  a  teachers'  meeting  on  Wednesday 
and  a  prayer- meeting  on  Friday.  The  additions  to  the  membership 
have  been  larger  than  in  any  previous  year.  The  number  of  adults 
received  on  profession  of  faith  was  188;  those  received  by  letter,  4  ; 
the  number  of  infant  baptisms,  140  ;  one  elder  and  one  deacon  were 
installed. 

The  Maa  Dawk  Dang  and  Bethlehem  Churches  report  a  very  en- 
couraging growth.  Our  brethren  write  in  the  highest  commendation 
of  the  zeal  and  faithfulness  shown  by  the  elders  and  helpers  in  these 
churches  in  proclaiming  the  Gospel  and  in  creating  a  wider  interest 
among  the  people. 

Lakaivn. — The  First  Church  has  conducted  its  regular  services  on 
the  Sabbath,  as  well  as  a  meeting  every  night  in  the  week  in  the 
chapel.  The  Sunday-school  has  been  well  attended,  with  a  slight  in- 
crease in  numbers  over  last  year.  Considerable  house-to-house 
visitation  by  Miss  Fleeson  is  reported. 

Educational  Work. 

Cheung-Mai. — The  four  schools  of  this  station  have  been  success- 
fully conducted  throughout  the  year.  The  increased  attendance  and 
the  better  work  done  in  each  of  these  important  schools  give  much 
hope  for  the  future. 

The  Cheung-Mai  Hoys'  Boarding-School  records  a  successful  year, 
with  a  considerable  advance  over  previous  years.  In  some  respects 
the  year  has  been  the  best  in  the  history  of  the  school.  Mr.  Collins 
has  been  aided  during  the  year  by  Mrs.  Collins  and  Miss  McGilvary, 
who,  with  their  knowledge  of  the  language,  have  proved  valuable 
assistants.  The  following  quotation  is  from  Mr.  Collins'  report  of  the 
year:  "The  total  attendance  for  the  year  has  been  94,  a  gain  of  23 
over  the  previous  year.  Of  those  who  were  in  attendance,  38  were 
members  of  our  churches,  and  of  the  remainder,  25  were  children  of 
the  covenant.  Twenty-four  of  the  pupils  were  received  into  the  church 
during  the  year."  Mr.  Collins  adds  that  the  greatest  drawback  in  the 
work  has  been  the  lack  of  proper  accommodations  for  the  pupils. 
The  mission  again  renews  the  request  for  an  appropriation  of  $1,000 
for  enlarging  the  quarters  of  the  Boys'  School. 

Mr.  Collins  closes  his  report  with  a  review  of  the  work  of  the  past 
four  years:  "We  feel  confident  that  much  good  has  been  accom- 
plished during  the  four  years'  history  of  the  school.  At  least  150 
boys  have  received  some  training  in  the  new  religion,  to  say  nothing

of  what  they  have  learned  in  reading,  writing,  arithmetic,  and  geog- 
raphy. From  the  day  that  the  school  first  opened  the  Shorter  Cate- 
chism in  Siamese  has  been  taught,  and  many  of  the  boys  have  mem- 
orized the  whole  of  it.  Some  of  our  boys  have  become  teachers  for 
the  new  missionaries ;  some  have  been  employed  as  scribes  ;  one 
spends  his  vacations  with  Dr.  McKean  in  the  dispensary  ;  another 
will  become  our  Laos  assistant  in  the  school  at  the  beginning  of  next 
term;  three  of  them  will  soon  enter  the  printing-office ;  one  or  two 
will  soon  be  ready  to  enter  the  theological  class.  A  few  who  came 
from  non-Christian  homes  have  gone  out  we  know  not  where.  The 
influence  of  many  of  the  older  students  is  being  felt  in  many  villages, 
where  they  often  lead  the  religious  meetings.  Over  35  of  the  Chris- 
tian boys  lead  in  public  prayer." 

The  Cheung-Mai  Girls'  Boarding  and  Day  School,  as  hitherto,  has 
been  under  the  care  of  Miss  Griffen  and  Miss  Westervelt,  assisted  for 
several  weeks  at  the  beginning  of  the  year  by  Miss  McGilvary.  The 
total  number  of  pupils  enrolled  was  79,  of  whom  57  were  boarders 
and  22  day  pupils.  Of  this  number  30  were  communing  members  of 
the  church,  while  of  the  remainder  25  were  baptized  children  of  Chris- 
tian parents.  Dr.  McKean,  in  writing  of  the  successful  work  accom- 
plished by  this  school,  says  :  "  The  value  of  the  instruction  these  girls 
receive  is  often  seen  on  tours,  when  it  is  found  that  they  have  be- 
come teachers  in  their  own  families  and  among  their  neighbors." 

The  Cheung-Mai  Theological  or  Boys'  Training- School  has  an  en- 
rollment of  35,  of  whom  20  were  candidates  for  the  Gospel  ministry. 
"  The  interest  in  study  and  practical  work  has  risen  higher  than  ever 
before,  and  the  prospects  of  the  school  are  the  brightest  since  its  com- 
mencement." As  above  stated,  a  large  part  of  the  evangelistic  work  of 
the  station  and  in  the  surrounding  villages  was  done  by  this  class. 

The  Cheung-Mai  Hospital  Night-School  has  been  in  session  almost 
continuously  during  the  year.  Dr.  McKean  in  his  report  states  that 
"  it  is  impossible  to  give  any  statistics  in  regard  to  the  attendance  of 
this  school,  as  it  fluctuates  constantly  with  the  number  of  patients  in 
the  hospital.  A  number  of  patients  from  distant  provinces  have 
learned  to  read,  and  have  been  taught  the  fundamental  truths  of  the 
Gospel.  The  teaching  is  wholly  religious.  While  such  a  school  can 
never  be  large,  it  reaches  those  who  might  not  come  under  the  influ- 
ence of  the  Gospel  in  any  other  way." 

The  Lakawn  Boys'  School. — The  total  enrollment  has  been  25. 
The  work  has  not  been  entirely  satisfactory,  but  some  advancement 
has  been  made,  and  it  is  believed  that  in  another  year  the  school  will 
be  more  than  double  its  present  number. 

The  Lakawn  Industrial  or  Farm  School  has  prospered  beyond  the 
most  sanguine  expectations  of  its  organizer.  The  farm  which  Dr. 
Peoples  had  striven  to  secure  for  some  time  was  finally  granted  to  the 
mission  by  the  Governor  of  Lakawn,  and  the  Doctor  has  taken  pos- 
session of  the  same,  and  writes  that  the  success  of  this  project  is  already 
assured  by  the  fact  that  they  have  a  good  crop  of  rice  where  all 
around  is  absolute  failure.  "  The  pump  is  at  work  with  the  horse-tread 
power,  and  is  giving  splendid  satisfaction.     It  is  the  object  of  a  great 

'5

deal  of  curiosity  and  interest  on  the  part  of  the  natives.      Everything 
around  the  farm  reminds  one  of  business." 

The  Lakawn  Girls  School. — This  school  has  been  most  success- 
fully conducted  by  Miss  Fleeson  for  two  years  past,  although  no  pro- 
vision has  been  made  from  the  mission  treasury  for  its  maintenance. 
The  station  is  now  asking  of  the  Board  permission  to  formally  organize 
this  school  for  girls  in  Lakawn.  Miss  Fleeson,  in  writing  with  regard 
to  the  work,  says:  "Something  should  be  done  for  the  girls  of  La- 
kawn. For  years  they  have  been  pleading  to  be  taught.  The  reg- 
ularity of  the  attendance  during  the  year,  and  the  earnestness  with 
which  they  took  to  study,  justifies  our  asking  that  a  school  be  estab- 
lished for  them  where  they  may  pursue  a  regular  course  and  be  under 
constant  Christian  training.  A  woman's  prayer-meeting  has  been  suc- 
cessfully maintained  among  them  during  the  latter  part  of  the  year." 

Medical  Work. 

Cheung-Mai. — A  considerably  larger  number  of  patients  were 
treated  than  in  any  previous  years.  The  whole  number  of  attendances 
was  5,101,  or  an  average  of  425  per  month.  Dr.  McKean  writes: 
"This  number  of  patients  includes  those  who  received  the  simplest 
treatment,  and  those  who  required  many  hours  of  attention  ;  those 
who  came  to  us,  and  those  whom  it  was  necessary  to  go  many  miles 
to  visit ;  it  includes  the  King  of  Siam  and  the  high  Siamese  officials  ; 
also  the  very  poor  and  the  outcast."  Besides  the  number  treated  by 
Dr.  McKean,  several  hundred  received  treatment  on  Dr.  McGilvary's 
long  tour  to  the  North,  and  on  river  trips  to  Bangkok.  The  work 
has  for  some  time  been  entirely  self-supporting,  and  a  balance  in  the 
treasury  is  now  reported  of  over  $100.  A  service  has  been  held  in  the 
hospital  each  evening  for  the  patients  and  attendants.  A  night-school 
has  been  reported  above  in  connection  with  the  educational  work. 
This  school  is  maintained  at  the  expense  of  the  dispensary,  and  has 
been  in  session  almost  continuously  throughout  the  year. 

Lakawn. — Dr.  Briggs,  the  physician  in  charge  at  this  station,  who 
has  spent  but  one  year  on  the  field,  writes :  "  The  work  the  past  year 
has  been  marked  by  the  removal  of  difficulties  rather  than  by  actual 
progress  and  success,  and  yet  not  altogether  without  both  of  the  latter. 
The  drawbacks  have  been  not  a  few — a  poor  supply  of  medicines, 
and  a  half  dozen  miserable  huts  to  serve  as  a  hospital,  were  a  serious 
hindrance.  But  these  difficulties  will  be  obviated  another  year."  Not- 
withstanding the  discouragements  the  Doctor  writes  that  he  has  met 
with  a  great  deal  of  encouragement  in  his  labors.  He  endeavors  to 
have  every  person  who  comes  for  treatment  spoken  to  personally  and 
the  Gospel  presented  to  him.  He  is  assisted  in  this  personal  effort 
by  his  medical  assistant  and  language  teacher,  who  are  splendid  evan- 
gelists and  Christian  helpers.  The  Doctor,  in  closing  his  report,  adds : 
"  The  indirect  results  cannot  be  estimated  ;  but,  if  nothing  else  has 
been  accomplished,  there  has  been  a  large  amount  of '  opening-up' 
work  done.  A  number  of  interesting  cases  might  be  singled  out,  both 
from  the  common  people  and  the  ruling  classes,  as  illustrative  of  the 
influence  of  our  medical  work  in  Lakawn.     But,  like  most  of  our  mis- 


LAOS— STATISTICS.  227 

sion  work  here  at  present,  it  is  preparatory.  We  are  unable  to  point 
to  much  specific  fruit,  and  yet  a  number  have  shown  a  marked  interest 
in  spiritual  things." 

Literary  Work. 

The  most  important  item  in  the  literary  work  of  the  year  is  the 
complete  revision  by  Mrs.  McGilvary  of  her  translation  of  the  Gospel 
of  Matthew.  It  has  been  printed  in  the  Siamese  character  by  the 
American  Bible  Society.  Mr.  Dodd  has  also  completed  his  transla- 
tion of  the  Synopsis  of  Robinson's  Harmony  of  the  Gospels.  This 
work  has  proved  a  valuable  aid  to  the  students  of  the  Theological 
Class,  and  there  is  a  considerable  demand  for  it  among  the  Christian 
families  of  Laos.  Mr.  Collins  has  finished  an  English- Laos  Diction- 
ary, which  will  prove  of  much  service  to  all  who  undertake  the  study 
of  the  Laos  language,  and  especially  to  all  new  missionaries. 

New   Work. 

The  mission  is  pleading  for  reinforcements.  Three  single  women 
are  asked  for  Lakawn,  a  physician  to  assist  Dr.  McKean  in  his 
labors  at  Cheung- Mai,  and  one  single  woman  for  school  work  in 
Cheung-Mai. 

In  a  carefully  prepared  appeal  from  the  mission,  a  request  is  made 
for  another  clerical  missionary  to  open  work  at  Raheng  and  in  the 
villages  on  the  Maa  Ping  River.  "It  is  almost  a  question  of  now  or 
never.  Raheng  is  destined  to  become  the  principal  city  in  all  the 
North  Country.  It  will  be  the  centre  of  all  kinds  of  traffic,  whether 
railroad,  river,  or  any  other ;  it  is  the  government  centre.  Foreign 
influence  has  already  done  immense  mischief,  and  if  something  is  not 
done  immediately  it  will  before  long  be  as  difficult  to  work  as  a  port 
town.  Oh,  that  our  cry  in  behalf  of  this  people  who  are  so  willing  tc 
give  attention  to  the  Gospel  now  might  be  answered  speedily  !  "

The  force  of  the  Brazil  Mission  during  the  past  year  was  in- 
creased by  the  arrival  of  Rev.  and  Mrs.  E.  M.  Pinkerton,  Rev. 

F.  J.  Perkins,  and  Miss  Margaret  K.  Scott.  Already  the  sad 
tidings  have  reached  us  of  Mr.  Pinkerton's  death  at  Bahia,  on 
February  23d.  He  had  received  the  very  highest  recommenda- 
tions from  his  instructors  in  Lane  Seminary,  and  had  won  the 
confidence  of  his  missionary  associates  in  a  high  degree.  It  is 
to  be  hoped  that  the  early  removal  from  his  work  will  so  touch 
the  hearts  of  others  that  this  vacancy  at  Bahia  may  soon  be 
filled.  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Chamberlain  and  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Kyle  re- 
joined the  mission  after  an  absence  in  this  country  on  furlough. 
Dr.  Lane,  whose  failure  of  health  compelled  his  return  to  this 
country  during  the  year,  has  again  returned  and  taken  up  his 
varied  duties. 

The  mission  has  also  suffered  another  loss  in  the  death  of 
Mrs.  Carrington,  at   Rio  Claro,  on  December  26,   1891.     Mrs. 
Carrington  had  been  on  the  field  little  more  than  a  year,  but 
her  life  gave  promise  of  much  usefulness. 
I    "The  year  1891  has  been  one  of  civil  agitation  and  unrest 


230  BRAZIL — RIO    DE   JANEIRO. 

throughout  the  United  States  of  Brazil,  culminating  toward  the 
end  of  the  year  in  a  brief  Dictatorship,  then  another  turn  of  the 
wheel  brought  constitutional  principles  to  the  fore." 

"  Mission  work  in  large  centres  can  scarcely  escape  the 
paralyzing  influence  of  such  disturbance.  Yet  reports  from  the 
various  fields  occupied  by  the  missions  of  our  Board  give  evi- 
dence of  the  constant  working  of  God's  Spirit  through  the  min- 
istry of  the  Word." 

The  Synod  of  Brazil  met  at  Sao  Paulo  on  the  3d  of  Septem- 
ber, 1 89 1.  It  was  composed  of  forty-nine  ministers  and  elders. 
From  the  report  of  the  Synod's  Committee  on  National  Missions 
it  appears  that  since  its  organization  three  years  ago,  there 
have  been  contributed  $11,750.  Of  this  total,  the  twenty-one 
churches  of  the  Presbytery  of  Sao  Paulo  gave  nearly  one-half, 
and  the  Church  of  Sao  Paulo  alone  over  one-third,  thus  leading 
the  sixty  churches  of  the  Synod  in  the  matter  of  self-support  and 
benevolence.  The  Committee  says  :  "  The  three  ideas  of  self- 
support,  mutual  help,  and  propaganda,  are  influencing  powerfully 
our  churches." 

Rio  Janeiro. 

The  work  has  been  continued  along  the  same  line  in  the  city 
and  outstations.  In  view  of  the  fact  that  the  native  church  is 
now  self-supporting  and  able  to  begin  aggressive  work,  it  was 
resolved  that  Mr.  Kyle  should  undertake  work  in  another  part 
of  the  State.  Mr.  Rodgers  has  opened  services  in  a  suburb  of 
the  city,  and  is  hopeful  of  good  results.  He  reports  audiences 
varying  from  ten  to  twenty-five. 

In  Nictheroy  the  services  maintained  by  members  of  the  Rio 
church  under  the  leadership  of  the  converted  priest  Lino,  grow 
more  encouraging  every  week.  Five  persons  have  been  added 
on  profession  of  faith  in  this  field  during  the  year.  The  school 
connected  with  the  church  reports  an  attendance  of  50  pupils. 

In  Ubatuba  9  were  added  to  the  church  on  profession,  and  13 
children  were  baptized.  The  Resende  church  reports  9  additions. 
No  additions  are  reported  to  the  Petropolis  church,  but  the  work 
is  encouraging.  Twelve  persons  were  added  to  the  Rio  church 
on  profession  of  faith. 

East  Rio  Station. 

This  new  station  was  first  occupied  by  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Kyle  in 
October,  1891.  It  had  occasionally  been  visited  as  an  outstation 
by  missionaries  from  Rio.  Mr.  Kyle  has  taken  up  his  residence 
in  Novo  Friburgo,  in  the  State  of  Rio  Janeiro.  In  addition  to 
the  permanent  work  which  will  be  maintained  at  this  station, 
Mr.  Kyle  will  do  an  itinerant  work  in  the  eastern  portion  of  the 
State  of  Rio  and  in  Eastern  Minas.  The  most  important  places 
in  this  part  of  Brazil  are  reached  by  the  Leopoldina  line  of  rail- 
way, embracing  1,200  miles,  and  making  the  entire  region  with 
its  large  population  easily  accessible  from  the  central  point  of 


BRAZIL — RIO    CI. ARC),    SAO    PAULO.  23  I 

Novo  Friburgo.  Mr.  Kyle  reports  three  services  held  in  the 
city  with  an  increasing  attendance.  A  colporteur  in  the  field 
has  sold  490  copies  of  the  Scriptures  and  77,000  pages  of 
evangelical  books  and  tracts  in  less  than  two  months.  This  re- 
markable success  gives  reason  to  hope  that  evangelistic  efforts 
in  this  field  may  not  be  without  their  lasting  results.  Mr.  Kyle 
closes  his  report  with  the  following  significant  words:  "The 
blight  of  religious  indifference  spreads  over  all  this  region. 
What  is  needed  is  not  an  effort  to  convert  the  people  from 
Romanism  to  Protestantism,  but  rather  to  give  them  a  religion. 
The  attempt,  however,  to  arouse  them  from  their  indifference 
and  lead  them  to  feel  their  need  of  a  religion  is  no  easy  task." 

Rio  Claro. 

Mr.  and  Mrs.  Carrington  were  stationed  here  during  the 
greater  part  of  the  year.  Mrs.  Carrington's  death,  however, 
has  occasioned  the  return  to  the  United  States  of  Mr.  Carring- 
ton, with  his  infant  child. 

The  fields  formerly  occupied  by  Rev.  J.  B.  Howell  and  Rev. 
J.  F.  Dagama  are  now  distributed  to  the  care  of  three  young 
native  ministers  recently  ordained  by  the  Presbytery  of  Minas 
Geraes,  from  whom  no  reports  have  been  received. 

Miss  Dagama,  who  is  in  charge  of  the  school,  reports  that  it 
has  been  carried  on  regularly,  being  attended  daily  by  20  to  25 
pupils. 

Sao  Paulo. 

The  enforced  absence  of  Dr.  Lane  by  sickness  during  a 
greater  part  of  the  year  threw  the  weight  of  the  heavy  burdens 
of  this  station  on  Mr.  Waddell,  who  had  but  recently  arrived. 
The  intense  s'train  was  more  than  he  could  bear,  and  toward 
the  close  of  the  year  his  health  was  so  completely  broken  down 
that  he  was  forced  to  leave  Sao  Paulo  for  a  much-needed  rest. 
The  change,  however,  did  not  prove  beneficial,  and  for  some 
time  his  physicians  had  slight  hope  of  his  recovery.  We  are 
rejoiced  to  state  that  later  letters  speak  of  his  convalescence, 
and  we  learn  that  the  doctors  have  now  pronounced  him  well. 

Mr.  Chamberlain,  on  his  return,  was  re-elected  to  the  post 
of  Synodical  Evangelist,  and  during  the  closing  months  of  the 
year  he  visited  believers  in  remote  regions  of  the  State  of  Sao 
Paulo,  some  of  whom  "had  not  heard  the  voice  or  seen  the 
face  of  a  preacher  for  more  than  three  years,  so  vast  is  the 
field  and  so  few  are  the  laborers."  Thus  far  his  efforts  have 
been  limited  to  the  State  of  Sao  Paulo  only,  and  "  while  it  is 
better  supplied  with  churches  and  ministers  of  the  Word  than 
any  other  State  of  the  Union,  his  whole  time  could  be  taken 
up  in  fields  which  do  not  trench  on  any  of  those  occupied." 

The  Sao  Paulo  church  has  had  the  efficient  ministry  of  Rev. 
E.  C.  Pereira,  and  in  addition  to  paying  his  salary  has  con- 
tinued to  aid   most  liberally  the  cause  of  missions.    No  report

has  been  sent  to  the  Board  of  the  number  of  additions,  or  of  its 
present  membership. 

Reports  of  the  school  work  have  failed  to  reach  us.  The 
statistics,  however,  show  that  the  boys'  and  girls'  schools  (each 
with  its  boarding  department)  have  had  an  enrollment  during 
the  year  of  530  pupils.  Miss  Kuhl,  in  company  with  Miss  Das- 
comb,  of  Botucatu,  has  taken  up  her  residence  in  Curityba, 
where  a  new  school  for  girls  has  been  organized.  Miss  Will- 
iamson has  assumed  the  duties  formerly  under  Miss  Kuhl's 
care.  Miss  Scott,  who  joined  the  mission  in  the  fall,  is  prepar- 
ing to  take  the  place  of  normal  teacher  in  the  Girls'  School. 

Curityba. 

"  In  Curityba  we  have  held  two  preaching  services  and  a  Sab- 
bath-school every  Sabbath,  with  preaching  also  on  Wednesday 
evenings.  When  the  weather  is  good  our  meetings  are  very 
well  attended.  The  hall  in  which  we  are  holding  them  is  not 
sufficiently  large  to  accommodate  comfortably  all  who  attend." 
Mr.  Landes  also  reports  meetings  held  in  private  houses  a 
short  distance  from  the  city.  In  the  four  churches  under  his 
care  there  is  a  membership  of  308  ;  of  this  number  35  were 
added  during  the  year.  Mr.  Landes  has  also  baptized  many 
children  during  the  last  few  months.  The  collections  from 
these  churches  for  the  year  amount  to  $580. 

Mr.  Landes  reports  a  tour  taken  with  the  evangelist,  Mr. 
Maxwell  Wright,  during  which  many  points  were  visited  and 
large  and  attentive  audiences  gathered. 

The  great  need  of  this  station  is  a  new  church  building.  As 
already  reported,  the  hall  in  which  Mr.  Landes  has  been  hold- 
ing preaching  services  affords  insufficient  accommodation,  and 
it  is  exceedingly  difficult  to  rent  desirable  places.  Last  year 
the  estimates  called  for  an  appropriation  of  $1,500  to  aid  in  the 
erection  of  such  a  building,  and  again  in  a  carefully  prepared 
appeal  Mr.  Landes  is  pleading  for  this  grant.  He  writes  : 
"We  endeavor  to  teach  the  people  under  our  care  to  be  liberal 
in  their  gifts  to  the  cause  of  the  Gospel.  We  have  several 
members  who  give  a  tenth  of  their  income  to  religious  work. 
Most  of  our  members  are  poor,  and,  of  course,  cannot  give  a 
large  sum.  We  feel  it  to  be  right,  therefore,  to  request  the 
Board  again  to  sanction  our  estimate  for  $1,500  in  aid  of  church 
building  in  Curityba,  and  with  this  grant  and  the  addition  of 
amounts  received  on  the  field  we  shall  hope  to  raise  the  desired 
sum  of  three  or  four  thousand  dollars." 

The  action  of  the  Board  sanctioning  the  establishment  of  a 
girls'  boarding-school  at  the  capital  of  Parana  occasioned  the 
removal  of  Miss  Kuhl  and  Miss  Dascomb  to  Curityba  at  the 
close  of  the  year.  The  school  under  the  instruction  of  Sr. 
Carvalhosa  and  his  daughter  for  several  years  past  will  be 
merged  in  this  new  school. 


BRAZIL— BAHIA,   SERGIPE.  233 

Owing  to  the  ill-health  of  his  wife,  Mr.  Porter  has  been  ad- 
vised by  physicians  to  remove  to  Sao  Paulo.  His  withdrawal 
from  Curityba  leaves  Mr.  Landes  alone.  He  is  pleading  most 
earnestly  with  the  Board  to  be  speedily  reinforced,  that  work 
in  the  important  State  of  Parana  may  not  suffer  loss. 

Mr.  Landes  closes  his  report  with  the  following  paragraph  : 
"The  great  difficulties  which  the  Gospel  has  to  overcome  con- 
tinue to  be  :  A  great  indifference  to  all  religion  on  the  part  of 
the  more  intelligent,  and  ignorance  and  superstition  on  the 
part  of  others.  The  spiritualists  are  still  doing  great  injury  to 
the  cause  of  the  Gospel,  but  their  influence  is  on  the  wane. 
Notwithstanding,  however,  all  the  difficulties  and  opposition 
to  the  truth,  we  have  reason  to  believe  that  the  Gospel  is  stead- 
ily gaining  ground,  and  is  being  more  and  more  appreciated 
in  all  our  field  of  labor.  We  regard  our  work,  taken  as  a 
whole,  as  very  encouraging." 

Bahia. 

This  northern  station  of  Brazil  reports  that  "the  presence  of 
the  Lord  has  been  manifest  during  the  year.  Many  have  been 
brought  to  a  saving  knowledge  of  His  name.  Protracted 
services  were  held  in  some  of  the  towns  of  the  States  with  good 
results.  In  Bahia,  the  capital,  cottage  meetings  have  been  at- 
tended by  many  who  would  not  otherwise  have  heard  the  Gos- 
pel, and  the  members  of  the  church  who  have  aided  in  these 
meetings  have  been  quickened  to  renewed  zeal.  Bible-classes 
have  been  organized  among  the  members  of  the  church  for 
study  of  the  Word.  At  outstations  good  audiences  attend.  At 
one,  prayer-bands  ;  at  another,  circles  for  the  study  of  the  Bible 
are  formed.  All  over  the  State  the  leaven  is  working."  In 
August  Mr.  Finley  was  reinforced  by  the  arrival  of  Rev.  and 
Mrs.  E.  M.  Pinkerton,  who  immediately  engaged  in  the  study 
of  the  language,  and  gave  great  promise  of  early  proficiency  in 
the  use  of  it,  but  after  seven  months  of  work  for  the  Master 
Mr.  Pinkerton  has  been  called  to  a  higher  sphere  of  duty.  Who 
will  take  up  the  labors  of  this  devoted  servant  of  Christ  ? 

Mr.  Finley  reports  11  received  to  church  membership,  and  1 1 
children  baptized.  He  writes  :  "A  school  now  would  do  more 
than  anything  to  help  on  the  work.    What  we  need  is  teachers." 

Sergipe. 

Mr.  Kolb  reports  7  added  to  the  churches  of  his  field  during 
the  first  eight  months  of  the  year.  "The  spiritual  condition  of 
the  church  is  marked  by  a  healthy  growth.  Regular  Sabbath 
services  were  kept  up  at  every  point  where  there  was  a  group 
of  believers,  of  which  there  are  now  seven  places.  At  four  of 
these  points  movements  are  on  foot  to  build  chapels,  the  people 
showing  a  notable  spirit  of  self-help.  At  one  point  where  there 
are  as  yet  no  members  of  the  church,  but  a  host  of  friends,  one 


234  CHILI. 

gentleman,  a  merchant,  offers  to  direct  the  erection  of  a  build- 
ing and  pay  one-half  the  expense."  The  great  distance  of  this 
point  from  Larangeiras,  and  consequent  difficulty  of  not  being 
able  to  exercise  proper  pastoral  care,  has  deterred  Mr.  Kolb  from 
organizing  a  church  there.  Other  points  which  have  hitherto 
offered  stubborn  resistance  are  now  open,  and  the  people  eager 
to  listen.  At  the  capital,  Aracaju,  there  is  an  active  group  of 
believers.  "The  Governor  of  the  State  has  publicly  declared 
his  adhesion  to  the  cause  of  the  Gospel.  He  has  urged  upon 
us  the  propriety  of  establishing  a  good  school  at  the  capital." 

The  school  at  Larangeiras  is  fairly  well  established  in  the 
confidence  of  the  people.  It  has  had  twenty-three  names  en- 
rolled. Primary  work  is  all  that  can  be  done  for  lack  of  a 
trained  teacher.     That  is  the  need.

Valparaiso  :  the  chief  seaport  of  Chili ;  population,  120,000 ;  laborers — Rev.  and 
Mrs.  W.  H.  Lester,  Rev.  and  Mrs.  James  F.  Garvin  ;  Alberto  Moran,  licentiate ;  Vic- 
torino  Castro,  principal  of  Escuela  Popular,  and  helper. 

Santiago  :  the  capital  of  Chili,  120  miles  southeast  of  Valparaiso,  with  which  it  has 
railroad  connection;  population,  200,000;  laborers — Rev.  and  Mrs.  J.  M.  Allis,  D.D., 
Rev.  and  Mrs.  S.  J.  Christen;  Rev.  Francisco  Diez ;  Abelardo  Daroc/i,  printer  and 
part  director  of  ''  Heraldo."

Concepcion  :  near  the  coast,  about  300  miles  south  of  Valparaiso,  connected  with  San- 
tiago by  railroad  ;  population,  20,000 ;  Rev.  Francisco  Jorquera.

Chili  is  one  of  the  most  enterprising  and  prosperous  republics  of 
South  America.  Its  population  is  over  two  and  a  half  millions.  The 
Roman  Catholic  has  been  the  religion  for  centuries,  but  there  is  a 
larger  liberty  than  in  any  other  republic  of  South  America.  The  press 
is  free  and  a  recognized  power,  and  the  importance  of  advancement  in 


CHILI — SANTIAGO.  235 

education  is  understood  by  both  government  and  people.  The  inde- 
pendence of  Chili  was  proclaimed  January  1,  18 18.  The  first  state 
constitution  was  adopted  in  1824.  Chili  has  been  a  restless  nation. 
Even  the  last  political  troubles  can  scarcely  be  expected  to  have  given 
opportunity  for  the  full  and  final  expression  of  this  uneasy  disposition. 
The  mission  misses  the  presence  and  help  of  Dr.  Allis  and  Mr.  Dodge. 
The  former  will  return,  however,  this  year.  The  mission  needs  all  its 
forces  and  earnest  prayer,  too,  that  it  may  be  a  vigorous  and  aggressive 
spiritual  power  in  a  land  of  great  spiritual  weakness,  and  among  people 
of  negative  Christian  character,  where  there  is  any  pretence  of  Chris- 
tian character  at  all. 

Santiago  Station. 

This  part  of  the  field  reports  little  progress  during  the  year.  As 
the  seat  of  Balmaceda's  government  and  the  centre  of  military 
operations  it  was  especially  exposed  to  the  disturbing  influences 
of  the  revolution.  The  excitement,  danger,  and  severe  police 
regulations  proved  serious  obstacles  in  every  department  of  work. 
The  circulation  of  the  Heraldo  and  the  distribution  of  tracts 
materially  diminished ;  in  the  theological  department  one  student  was 
in  hiding  and  one  in  prison  ;  cottage  prayer-meetings  were  discon- 
tinued and  the  church  work  well-nigh  broken  up,  the  elder  and  eight 
members  being  in  prison  at  one  time  for  their  political  opinions.  In 
a  less  degree  the  same  difficulties  were  experienced  in  the  other 
stations. 

Native  Church. — The  year  opened  with  promise.  Average  attend- 
ance at  principal  service,  135 ;  at  Sunday-school,  70 ;  at  prayer- 
meeting,  75.  During  revolutionary  times  this  attendance  diminished 
to  one-fourth.  Since  September  it  has  been  steadily  increasing  until 
last  month  it  reached  the  average  of  no  at  the  principal  service,  73  at 
prayer-meeting,  and  67  at  Sunday-school.  This  is  encouraging,  and 
with  God's  blessing  we  look  forward  to  a  good  year. 

During  the  year  15  persons  have  passed  their  probation,  and  have 
been  received  into  the  church  ;  13  more  are  in  the  probationary  class; 
8  children  have  been  baptized  ;  5  marriages  celebrated ;  $324  in  cur- 
rency contributed  to  various  objects  of  church  work;  1  elder  and  3 
deacons  elected  and  ordained.  This  work  has  been  almost  entirely 
under  the  care  of  Mr.  Diez,  who  has  proved  himself  a  faithful  and 
efficient  pastor.  Besides  this  work,  Mr.  Diez  has  written  one  article 
at  least  for  every  number  of  the  Heraldo,  translated  tracts  from  Eng- 
lish into  Spanish,  and  spent  considerable  time  on  the  new  Hymn- 
Book,  which  is  finished  and  now  in  print.  Mr.  Diez  is  one  of  our  best 
workers,  spiritual,  capable,  and  industrious. 

The  Heraldo. — This  is  an  eight-page  sheet,  published  every  two 
weeks,  and  is  the  organ  of  the  mission.  Although  Mr.  Christen  has 
been  the  responsible  editor,  the  work  has  been  done  by  our  native 
helpers.  Moran,  of  Valparaiso,  and  Diez  have  written  the  editorials; 
Miss  Hidalgo,  teacher  in  the  Escuela  Popular,  the  section  for  chil- 
dren ;  Undurraga,  of  Copiapo,  the  Sunday-school  lessons,  and  Daroch 
the  section  of  Church  news.     Under  this  management  the  paper  has 


2x6  CHILI — SANTIAGO. 


improved  very  much.  Clippings  no  longer  fill  its  columns,  its  Amer- 
ican flavor  has  disappeared,  and  it  has  become  what  it  should  be,  an 
interesting  Chilian  paper.  The  controversial  element  has  given  place 
to  what  is  more  spiritual  and  practical,  and  we  know  that  its  influence 
for  good  has  been  increased. 

For  reasons  already  stated  the  circulation  during  the  year  has  been 
small,  reaching  its  lowest  limit  in  August,  when  1,400  copies  were 
printed.  Since  then  the  number  has  steadily  increased,  and  at  present 
1,900  copies  are  issued.  A  subscription  of  $1  per  year  is  charged, 
with  a  liberal  discount  to  those  who  take  more  than  20  copies.  The 
subscriptions  have  netted  $1,140  in  currency,  and  the  remainder, 
about  $1,400  currency,  is  from  the  Board. 

Tracts. — Fewer  tracts  were  published  during  the  year,  owing  to  the 
fact  that  fewer  could  be  distributed.  Those  published  were  :  "  El 
Perdon  del  Pecado,"  10,000  copies  ;  "  El  Remedio  del  Mai,"  10,000  ; 
"  La  cosa  mas  importante  del  mundo,"  5,000 ;  making  a  total  of 
25,000  tracts,  or  620,000  pages,  at  a  cost  of  $900  currency.  Of  these 
25,000  about  19,000  have  been  put  into  circulation.  At  the  meeting 
of  Presbytery  the  following  suggestions  were  made  :  1,  that  smaller 
and  less  costly  tracts  be  printed ;  2,  that  a  larger  number  be  printed  ; 
3,  that  a  price,  one-third  of  the  cost,  be  charged ;  4,  that  the  words  on 
the  title-page,  indicating  their  source,  "  Union  Evangelica,"  be  omitted, 
because  many  who  otherwise  would  read  them  are  frightened  by  their 
Protestant  title.  These  suggestions  were  accepted  by  the  mission's 
committee. 

Instituto  International. — The  Instituto  has  had  a  good  year,  con- 
sidering the  troublous  times.  The  number  on  the  roll  was  145  as 
compared  with  163  of  the  previous  year.  Of  these,  37  were  boarders. 
Owing  to  the  fact  that  many  families  were  compelled  to  leave  the  city 
during  the  revolution,  15  boys  were  taken  away,  leaving  140  on  the 
roll  at  the  end  of  the  school  year. 

Because  of  the  smaller  number  of  scholars  and  the  greatly  increased 
cost  of  living,  we  anticipated  a  deficit  when  the  final  accounts  were 
made  out.  The  books,  on  the  contrary,  show  a  balance  in  the  school's 
favor  of  about  $500  in  cash  and  $800  in  uncollected  bills  ;  of  these  $400 
are  probably  good.  This  favorable  showing  is  due  to  an  increase  of  10 
per  cent,  in  tuitions,  charged  because  of  the  low  rate  of  exchange  and 
the  increase  of  living,  to  the  removal  of  Mr.  Bettex  and  the  death  of 
Mr.  Troop,  which  lessened  considerably  the  item  of  teachers'  salaries, 
and  to  a  smaller  number  of  bad  bills. 

The  absence  of  two  teachers  rendered  necessary  a  rearrangement  of 
the  force,  the  best  teachers  being  appointed  to  the  more  advanced 
classes,  thus  leaving  deficient  the  preparatory  department.  The  ad- 
vanced classes  that  gave  their  examinations  in  the  University  were  a 
credit  to  the  institution,  only  4  boys  failing  out  of  over  80,  thus  placing 
the  Instituto  in  its  scholastic  training  among  the  best,  if  not  the  best 
in  the  city. 

The  great  end  of  the  school  has  not  been  attained,  however.  It  is 
not  the  evangelizing  force  which  it  ought  to  be  and  must  be.  The 
religious  exercises  have  been  carried  on  as  usual  ;  prayers  each  morn- 


CHILI — CONCEPCION.  237 

ing  and  evening,  Bible-classes  twice  a  week,  and  a  special  religious 
service  on  Sundays.  The  moral  influence  of  the  school  is  excellent, 
yet  the  spiritual  results  are  wanting.  The  religious  character  of  the 
school  can  only  be  changed  by  personal  work  on  the  part  of  the 
teachers.  For  this  reason  the  mission  is  desirous  of  supplying  the 
school  with  missionary  teachers  from  the  States,  men  of  sterling,  win- 
ning Christian  character,  endowed  with  special  spiritual  power. 

Students  for  the  Ministry. — This  title  is  perhaps  misleading,  since 
all  the  students  with  one  exception  are  still  in  their  preparatory  studies, 
not  having  yet  entered  the  theological  course.  Kahamondes  was  the 
only  one  sufficiently  advanced  to  undertake  theological  work  when  Mr. 
Allis  left  for  the  States.  Some  names  have  been  dropped  from  the  list. 
In  regard  to  those  Mr.  Lester  writes:  "  They  were  not  strictly  theologi- 
cal students,  but  students  in  the  Instituto,  where  the  years  of  study  are 
probationary.  With  us  at  home  the  conditions  are  very  different.  There 
a  young  man  enters  the  seminary  from  a  Christian  home,  where  every 
influence  tends  to  awaken  spiritual  life  and  to  develop  its  activity.  But 
in  Chili  Christian  homes  do  not  exist,  while  every  influence  tends  to 
destroy  instead  of  fostering  religious  growth.  Under  these  circumstances 
it  is  but  natural  that  a  larger  proportion  should  be  found  unworthy  to 
enter  the  ministry.  These  young  men  are  received  into  the  Instituto, 
and  the  time  they  spend  there  is  practically  a  period  of  probation.  Every 
six  months  each  case  is  carefully  considered,  and  if  there  is  no  mani- 
fest spiritual  as  well  as  mental  growth  the  mission's  support  is  with- 
drawn. It  follows  then  that  some  are  dropped,  some  become  teachers 
in  our  schools,  while  a  few,  tried  and  tested  as  much  as  lies  in  our 
power,  are  licensed  to  preach."  In  addition  to  Moran,  the  younger, 
and  Sepulveda,  there  are  two  others,  Elphick  and  Clockmann,  who 
give  more  than  ordinary  promise. 

The  Santiago  District  has  been  under  the  charge  of  Mr.  Lester, 
who  for  two  months  supplied  the  pulpit  of  the  Union  church  of  Val- 
paraiso, and  for  four  months,  during  the  illness  of  Mr.  Wilson,  the 
pastor,  the  pulpit  of  the  Union  church  of  Santiago ;  he  has  also 
made  two  trips,  one  to  Constitucion,  and  one  of  two  months  in  the 
North,  during  which  51  services  in  English  and  Spanish  were  held. 
This,  with  the  correspondence  with  the  field  and  the  Board,  together 
with  such  supervision  as  falls  to  the  chairman  of  the  mission,  constitutes 
his  work  for  the  year. 

Union  Church. — Rev.  J.  C.  Wilson  is  the  pastor  of  the  Union 
church  at  Santiago.  The  Board  has  borne  part  of  Mr.  Wilson's  ex- 
penses in  the  hope  that  the  church  will  become  strong  enough  in  a 
little  while  to  be  self-supporting.  The  attendance  at  the  Sunday 
morning  services  has  been  from  80  to  100.  There  is  a  Christian  En- 
deavor Society  and  a  Children's  League  in  the  church,  and  Mr.  Wilson 
reports  a  growing  hold  upon  the  poorer  and  working  classes  due  to 
visiting  among  them. 

Conception  Station. 

The  reports  from  this  part  of  the  field  show  anything  but  a  prosperous 
year.     Mr.  Joiquera  took  an  active  part  in  the  revolutionary  move- 


238  CHILI— VALPARAISO. 

merit  against  Balmaceda's  government,  and  as  a  consequence  he  was 
twice  imprisoned,  and,  on  several  occasions  and  for  considerable  time, 
he  was  compelled  to  hide.  The  conditions  were  not  favorable  to  church 
growth.  During  the  year  the  congregations  have  diminished  and  only  one 
member  has  been  received  on  profession  of  faith.  On  the  other  hand, 
the  amount  contributed  in  the  city  for  church  work  far  exceeds  what 
is  given  in  any  other  place.  During  the  year  $540  were  raised  for  the 
pastor's  salary  ;  $256  earned  by  the  women  and  devoted  to  the  building 
fund ;  for  the  same  object  $300  additional  have  been  raised,  and  an 
organ  costing  about  $300  has  been  bought  and  paid  for,  making  a  total 
of  $1,400  contributed  by  the  church  members  and  by  English  sym- 
pathizers with  the  work  conducted  by  Mr.  Jorquera. 

After  the  victory  of  the  revolution  Mr.  Jorquera  was  offered  a 
government  position  with  a  salary  two  and  a  half  times  larger  than 
what  he  receives  at  present.  This  offer  he  refused.  He  is  a  man  of 
sterling  character,  and  is  respected  by  the  Catholics  and  by  those  who 
do  not  like  him.  Now  that  there  is  peace  in  the  country,  and  peace 
in  the  diocese  of  Concepcion,  there  is  reason  to  expect  a  year  of  sub- 
stantial growth.  Mr.  Boomer  conducted  a  small  school  part  of  the 
year.  The  mission  has  decided  to  transfer  Mr.  Boomer  and  also  the 
school  to  Chilian. 

Because  of  the  disturbing  influences  of  the  war,  and  difficulties  un- 
foreseen at  the  beginning  of  the  year,  Mr.  Boomer  was  able  to  carry 
out  only  a  part  of  the  itinerary  work  he  had  planned. 

Coronel. — About  an  hour's  ride  from  Concepcion  by  rail.  There  were 
no  meetings  held  in  this  place  during  the  year. 

Talcuhuano. — About  ten  minutes  from  Concepcion  by  train.  Meet- 
ings were  discontinued  during  the  first  part  of  the  year,  and  recom- 
menced in  September.  At  first  there  was  an  attendance  of  25  to  30, 
but  this  number  gradually  diminished,  and  at  the  last  meeting  only 
half  a  dozen  were  present.  Mr.  Boomer  has  decided  to  hold  a  Bible- 
class  instead  of  a  regular  service  until  he  removes  to  Chilian,  when 
Mr.  Jorquera  will  take  it  up. 

Linares. — About  five  hours  by  train  from  Concepcion.  Monthly 
meetings  have  been  held  in  this  place  since  May.  No  suitable  room 
being  found,  the  meetings  were  held  in  the  house  of  one  of  the  mem- 
bers. The  attendance  has  been  from  10  to  20.  One  member  was  re- 
ceived, five  proposed  for  membership,  and  three  baptisms  performed. 

This  station  has  been  under  the  charge  of  Mr,  Boomer,  who,  in 
addition  to  the  services  above  mentioned,  has  preached  several  times 
in  English  and  spent  considerable  time  on  the  new  Hymn-book  in 
Spanish  which  the  mission  has  compiled  and  issued  through  its  com- 
mittee, Messrs.  Garvin,  Boomer,  and  Christen. 

Valparaiso  Station. 

The  reports  from  this  station  show  regular  attendance  and  steady 
growth.  At  the  preaching  services  of  Sunday  morning  and  evening 
there  has  been  an  attendance  of  40  to  60  and  60  to  100  respectively; 
at  the  Sunday-school,  97;  at  prayer-meeting,  50;  and  at  the  cottage 


CHILI — VALPARAISO.  239 

meetings,  which  are  held  twice  a  week,  about  15.  These  cottage 
meetings  seem  to  have  been  especially  blessed,  the  rooms  in  which 
they  are  held  being  almost  always  filled,  and  the  results  satisfactory. 
The  strong  hold  of  the  Valparaiso  church  seems  to  be  in  the  Sunday- 
school  and  among  the  children.  As  an  indication  of  this  work,  Mrs. 
Garvin  has  organized  a  flourishing  Band  of  Hope  with  a  membership 
of  75.  During  the  year  12  have  been  received  into  the  church ;  6 
children  baptized,  and  nearly  $500  in  currency  contributed  for  different 
objects  of  work.  Repairs  to  the  amount  of  $560  have  been  made  on 
the  building  ;  of  this  sum  $160  were  given  by  the  church. 

Out  stations. — Mira  Mar. — About  ten  minutes  by  train  from  Valpa- 
raiso. Weekly  meetings  were  held  in  this  place  during  the  year,  with 
the  exception  of  three  weeks  when  they  were  omitted  on  account  of 
political  disturbances.  The  attendance  was  from  12  to  25,  and  the 
meetings  have  been  interesting. 

Limache. — About  an  hour  from  Valparaiso.  During  the  first  part 
of  the  year  weekly  services  were  held  in  this  place,  but  so  little  inter- 
est was  manifested  it  was  thought  best  to  discontinue  them. 

Quillota. — An  hour  and  a  half  from  Valparaiso.  Here  bi-monthly 
meetings  were  held,  but  with  small  attendance.  Seiior  Cortez,  an  elder 
of  the  church  of  Valparaiso,  and  formerly  one  of  our  helpers,  seduced 
by  Vidaurre,  withdrew  from  our  work  and  has  succeeded  in  hindering  it 
materially.  Vidaurre  has,  however,  left  for  the  Argentine  Republic, 
and  the  difficulty  being  removed,  Cortez  has  abandoned  his  rival  meet- 
ings and  now  attends  our  services,  which  of  late  have  shown  a  larger 
attendance  and  more  interest. 

In  Melon  and  Nogales  monthly  services  were  carried  on,  and  con- 
siderable interest  manifested,  although  some  have  fallen  off  because 
of  the  preaching  of  itinerant  friars.  Pedre  Moysan  carries  on  his  lit- 
tle school  of  12  to  18  children,  and  although  a  confirmed  invalid,  still 
teaches  and  preaches.  Several  members  have  been  received  into  the 
Valparaiso  church  from  this  little  band  of  Christians.  Moran,  the 
elder,  has  borne  an  equal  share  with  Mr.  Garvin  of  the  services  in  the 
city  and  the  outstations.  He  is  a  man  of  excellent  spirit,  warm- 
hearted, zealous,  and  a  good  pastor.  He  has  some  faults  as  a  public 
speaker,  but  in  this  respect  is  rapidly  improving.  He  and  Mr.  Diez 
have  carried  on  successfully  the  editoiial  work  of  the  HeralJo.  At 
the  last  meeting  of  Presbytery  Moran  was  examined  and  ordained. 

Work  in  Constitution. — This  has  always  been  considered  as  a  part 
of  this  station  since  it  is  of  more  easy  access  from  Valparaiso.  On 
the  resignation  of  Hercovitz  in  August  a  young  man  by  the  name  of 
Klphick  was  placed  in  charge  of  the  school.  He  has  done  his  work  faith- 
fully and  well.  There  have  been  38  scholars  in  the  school,  and  in 
hardly  any  of  our  schools  has  religious  instruction  been  more  carefully 
and  earnestly  given.  The  school  is  likely  to  be  much  smaller  during 
the  present  year,  owing  to  the  fact  that  quite  a  Dumber  of  the  scholars 
are  now  large  enough  to  enter  the  Liceo,  which  offers  special  ad- 
vantages, and  where  the  instruction  is  free.  Klphick  is  too  valuable  a 
man  to  stay  in  Constitucion  and  teach  a  dozen  children  ;  it  was  there- 
fore decided  to  remove  him  to  Santiago,  and  give  him  the  preparatory 


24O  CHILI — COPIArO. 

department  in  the  Institute),  where  he  can  support  himself,  and  at  the 
same  time  receive  instruction  that  will  enable  him  to  enter  the 
theological  course.  This  leaves  the  little  church  of  Constitucion 
without  a  pastor  for  the  meantime. 

Escuela  Popular. — This  school  has  had  a  successful  year  in  spite  of 
the  few  interruptions  caused  by  the  revolution.  The  average  monthly 
attendance  has  been  197.  The  instruction  has  been  good,  and  under 
the  skillful  management  of  Mr.  Castro  everything  has  moved  along 
smoothly.  The  religious  exercises  are  prayers  every  morning  and 
evening,  and  special  classes  in  the  Bible  and  Catechism  during  the 
week.  This  year  special  effort  has  been  made  to  induce  the  children 
to  attend  the  Sunday-school,  and  with  some  success.  To  illustrate 
the  character  of  the  children,  Mr.  Garvin  mentioned  in  his  report  the 
following  incident :  At  the  regular  meeting  of  the  teachers  for  prayer 
and  conference,  the  question  was  asked  whether  they  could  name  a 
single  scholar  whose  word  could  be  absolutely  depended  upon,  and 
the  answer  was  :  There  are  a  few  who  might  tell  the  truth.  This 
illustrates  the  material  we  have  to  work  upon  in  our  schools,  churches, 
and  seminary.     There  is  no  truth,  no  honor,  no  conscience. 

The  following  is  the  list  of  teachers  :  Victorino  Castro,  Prin. ;  Miss 
Hidalgo,  Assistant  Prin. ;  Mr.  Zamora,  Miss  Marks,  a  sewing  teacher 
and  assistant  teacher,  the  last  two  not  engaged  yet. 

Mr.  Castro  has  been  hard-working  and  faithful,  and  in  addition  to 
the  duties  as  Principal  of  the  school  has  conducted  one  service  a  week, 
and  has  directed  "  The  Sheltering  Home." 

Sheltering  Home. — Mrs.  Castro  has  been  the  Matron  of  the  Home, 
and  has  looked  after  the  children  very  well.  The  number  this  year  is 
larger  than  before,  25,  and  taxes  the  accommodations  to  the  utmost. 
Owing  to  the  higher  cost  of  living,  and  to  the  fact  that  fewer  of  the 
inmates  were  supported  by  friends  outside,  the  Home  closes  its  year 
with  a  debt  of  $200  currency.  This  can  be  met  by  subscription  in 
Valparaiso.  The  property,  which  is  held  in  trust  for  the  Directors  by 
the  Union  Evangelica,  has  been  sold  for  $8,000  net,  and  work  begun 
on  the  new  building,  which  is  held  by  the  Union  on  the  same  condi- 
tions. Toward  this  object  $r,ooo  has  already  been  collected,  but 
from  $3,000  to  $5,000  more  will  be  needed  to  complete  the  building. 

The  station  has  been  under  the  care  of  Mr.  Garvin,  who  in  addition 
to  the  services  already  mentioned,  has  been  Treasurer  of  the  Mission, 
Secretary  of  the  Valparaiso  Bible  Society,  and  Manager  of  the  Escuela 
Popular. 

Copiapo  Station. 

Sunday-school  and  one  preaching  service  have  been  held  in 
Copiapo  throughout  the  year.  The  exercises  of  the  Sunday-school 
were  partly  in  English  and  partly  in  Spanish,  and  with  an  average 
attendance  of  26.  The  evening  service,  at  which  an  average  of 
25  persons  attended,  was  alternately  in  English  and  Spanish,  the 
former  conducted  by  Mr.  Robinson,  and  the  latter  by  Mr.  Undurraga. 
This  mixing  of  the  two  languages  has  not  been  productive  of  good 
results,  and  is  one  of  the  reasons  why  the  Chilian  congregation  has 


CHILI — COPIAPO.  241 

not  grown.  Copiapo  has  a  small  number  of  English  Christians — about 
20  to  25  families — who  are  interested  in  every  kind  of  work,  and  who  will 
attend  services  in  either  language,  and  contribute  for  its  support.  Mrs. 
Robinson  has  organized  a  Mission  Rand  among  the  children  and  a 
Missionary  Society  among  the  ladies.  In  a  word,  there  is  an  English 
church,  small  but  well  organized.  On  the  other  hand,  there  is  scarcely 
anything  to  show  for  a  year's  work  in  the  Spanish  church.  The 
native  work  in  Copiapo  is  practically  reduced  to  the  school  which  Mrs. 
Robinson  carries  on.  The  school  has  done  good  educational  and  good 
Christian  work. 

Caldera. — With  the  exception  of  two  months,  this  port  has  been 
visited  twice  a  month  throughout  the  year.  The  services  were 
alternately  in  English  and  Spanish,  and  conducted  by  Mr.  Robinson 
and  Mr.  LJndurraga.  About  12  attended  the  Sunday-school  and  20  the 
preaching  service.  As  heretofore  the  people  paid  Mr.  Robinson's 
travelling  expenses,  as  well  as  rent  and  other  expenses  connected  with 
the  chapel. 

Tierre  Amarilla. — In  this  place,  which  is  about  ten  miles  from 
Copiapo,  fortnightly  services  in  Spanish  were  held  during  the  greater 
part  of  the  year,  with  an  attendance  of  20  listeners. 

The  present  year  opens  with  more  promise  than  the  year  just  gone. 
The  political  question  has  been  settled,  and  though  everything  Ameri- 
can was  in  disrepute  for  a  time,  the  mission  was  not  a  political  body 
and  escaped  much  of  the  unpopularity.  Mr.  Lester  writes  generally 
in  concluding  the  reports:  "The  revolution  was  a  punishment,  and 
perhaps  not  without  its  blessing.  Strictly  speaking,  Chili  as  a  nation 
is  not  Catholic,  but  atheistic,  and  since  the  dreadful  scenes  of  last  year 
there  has  been  a  noticeable  turning  to  religion.  The  Catholic  services 
are  more  largely  attended  than  I  have  ever  seen  them  before,  and  in 
our  own  churches  there  is  a  solemnity  and  an  interest  that  gives  us 
hope  who  have  waited  these  years  for  the  outpouring  of  His  Spirit. 
In  regard  to  our  own  mission  force,  I  think  it  can  be  truly  said  there 
never  was,  at  least  in  my  experience,  more  unity  among  the  mission- 
aries themselves,  and  among  the  missionaries  and  the  Chilian  workers. 
Some  Chilians  who  were  not  of  us  have  gone  out  from  us,  and  that 
jealousy  felt  by  some  of  them  toward  the  mission  seems  in  a  great 
measure  to  have  disappeared.  Perhaps  we  mutually  know  each  othei 
better.  The  last  meeting  of  mission  and  Presbytery  was  harmonious 
and  delightful."

REPUBLIC   OF  COLOMBIA— BOGOTA.  243 

Mission  in  the  Republic  of  Colombia. 

Republic  of  Colombia  :  population  estimated  at  4,000,000.  (See  Appleton's  Span- 
ish Geography.) 

Rogota  :  the  capital  of  the  country  ;  situated  on  an  elevated  plain  ;  40  north  latitude  ; 
climate,  temperate  ;  population  about  90,000;  elevation  nearly  9,000  feet  ;  occupied  as  a 
mission  station  in  1856;  missionary  laborers — Rev.  and  Mrs.  M.  E.  Caldwell,  Rev.  and 
Mrs.  A.  R.  Miles,  and  Miss  Elizabeth  Cahill  ;  six  native  teachers  and  helpers. 

Rarranquilla  (Par-ran-keel-ya) :  near  the  northern  seacbast  at  the  mouth  of  the 
Magdalena  River  ;  12°  N.;  population,  .,o,coo  ;  occupied  as  a  station  in  May,  1888  ;  mis- 
sionaries—Rev. and  Mrs.  T.  H.  Candor,  Rev.  and  Mrs.  T.  S.  Pond,  Mrs.  E.  II.  I.add. 

Mfdellin  :  population,  50,000;  occupied  October,  1889  ;  situated  on  tableland  at  an 
elevation  of  5,000  feet,  between  the  two  great  rivers  Magdalena  and  -Candav  ten  days 
north  of  Rogota  ;  missionaries — Rev.  and  Mrs.  J.  G.  Touzeau. 

Bogota  Station. 

Boys'  School. — Mr.  Miles,  having  learned  the  language  sufficiently- 
well,  took  charge  of  the  school  at  its  opening,  February  r,  1S91. 
This  was  the  second  year  in  its  history.  There  has  been  an  ad- 
vance, although  slow,  in  the  influence  of  the  school.  There  have 
been  four  boarding  pupils  instead  of  one,  and  the  total  number  of 
pupils  enrolled  during  the  year  was  75.  One  of  these  was  in  the 
theological  department.  The  Bible  was  taught  daily  ;  its  doctrines 
were  explained,  and  psalms  and  texts  were  committed  to  memory. 
One  of  the  oldest  students  declared  his  determination  to  follow 
Christ,  and  has  given  evidence  of  sincerity  and  stability  of  purpose. 
Others  manifested  an  increased  interest  in  the  study  of  the  Bible. 
In  the  case  of  some,  doubts  have  gradually  been  removed,  and  thus 
the  way  has  been  prepared  for  more  hopeful  work.  The  work  of 
preaching  to  the  young,  and  training  them,  must  be  one  great  hope 
in  Colombia.  Mr.  Caldwell  writes  :  "  In  our  church  work  we  still 
preach  to  the  grown  people  two  or  three  times  every  week,  but  in 
our  schools  we  have  little  congregations  of  young  people  to  whom 
we  can  preach  daily.  It  is  not  only  much  easier  to  gain  the  young 
people,  but  when  truly  converted  and  trained  up  from  their  early 
years  they  become  our  most  reliable  members  and  best  workers. 
Older  people,  full  of  their  crooked  ways,  infidel  philosophy,  untruth- 
fulness, dishonesty,  etc.,  may  become  true  followers  of  Christ,  and 
we  labor  without  ceasing  for  them;  but  such  converts,  as  a  rule,  are 
weak  and  faltering,  full  of  their  old  faults  and  failings,  and  never 
entirely  get  rid  of  all  their  old  temptations  and  weaknesses.  Our 
school  work,  therefore,  gives  much  increased  opportunities  to  preach 
the  blessed  Gospel,  to  preach  more  frequently,  and  to  preach  to 
those  who  are  most  hopeful  because  most  susceptible  to  the  truth." 

A  Theological  Class. — One  student,  Alejaudio  Gonzalez,  has  re- 
mained faithful  in  his  studies  for  several  years  past.  He  is  a  good 
student,  and  reads  English  very  readily,  and  has  helped  in  the 
school,  church,  Sabbath-school,  and  evangelistic  work.  The  report 
continues :  "  The  training  up  of  native  helpers  and  preachers  is  a 
very  important  addition  to  our  work,  and  is  an  indispensable  condi- 
tion to  any  permanent  success  or  great  extension  of  the  Gospel  in 
Colombia.     Until  we  can  put  the  natives  to  work,  the  evangelization 


244  REPUBLIC    OF   COLOMBIA — BOGOTA. 

of  Colombia  must  be  very  costly,  and  at  the  same  time  very  slow. 
Hard  work,  small  results,  little  interest,  and  few  encouragements, 
either  here  or  at  home- — -this  has  been  the  experience  of  the  Colom- 
bian Mission  for  more  than  the  third  of  a  century,  but  now  our  new 
departure  in  the  education  of  the  boys  of  Colombia  opens  up  for  us 
a  far  more  hopeful  future." 

Girls  School. — The  Girls'  School  was  obliged  to  be  closed  during 
the  whole  of  the  past  year,  and,  therefore,  Miss  Cahill  was  unable 
to  begin  the  work  for  which  she  was  especially  sent.  A  few  small 
girls  as  day  pupils  were  taught  in  a  separate  department  of  the 
Boys'  School. 

Church  Work. — The  church  work  has  had  its  trials.  For  lack  of 
time  the  pastoral  work  could  not  be  kept  up  with  the  vigor  which  is 
so  necessary  for  success  in  this  country.  It  numbers  at  present  107 
members.  "  The  government  has  been  antagonistic  to  the  work, 
and  as  a  consequence  even  the  Liberals  hesitate  about  taking  sides 
openly  with  us.  Many  of  them  almost  hate  the  priests  and  wish  us 
great  success,  but  fear  to  expose  themselves,  their  families  and 
employments  to  the  enmity  of  the  clergy.  Some  of  our  weak  mem- 
bers have  yielded  either  to  worldly  motives  or  to  fear,  and  have 
filled  us  with  continual  sadness.  Notwithstanding  these  discour- 
agements, our  congregations  have  usually  been  large,  the  majority 
of  our  members  have  remained  steadfast  and  faithful ;  three  persons 
were  received  during  the  year  on  profession  of  faith  and  one  by 
letter.  The  women  have  been  especially  faithful.  The  voluntary 
contributions  have  been  larger  than  at  any  previous  time  in  the  his- 
tory of  the  mission.  The  total  contributions  amounted  to  $713-95 
in  Colombian  money,  worth  $377  in  United  States  gold.  Some 
persons  of  wealth  and  influence  in  the  country  have  shown  them- 
selves very  friendly  to  our  work,  and  have  helped  us  financially. 
The  Gospel  has  been  preached  usually  twice  each  Sabbath,  and 
prayer-meetings  held  each  Wednesday  evening.  The  Sabbath- 
school  work  has  been  carried  on  with  reasonable  encouragement  so 
far  as  numbers  are  concerned." 

Tours. — One  extensive  tour  was  made  by  Mr.  Caldwell  to  the 
State  of  Santander,  in  which  many  portions  of  the  Word  of  God 
were  sold  and  a  number  of  sermons  were  preached.  In  Socorro  a 
great  many  people  attended  the  preaching  services  held  in  the  house 
of  one  of  our  faithful  members.  The  last  night  the  Mayor  of  the 
city  came  to  the  services.  "  The  meetings  lead  us  to  believe  that 
in  Socorro,  Bucaramanga,  and  other  towns  in  the  north  of  Colombia 
there  are  multitudes  who  would  gladly  attend  the  preaching  of  the 
pure  Gospel  if  they  had  the  opportunity  to  do  so." 

Discouragements. — By  the  elections  of  December  6th  the  govern- 
ment, was  more  than  ever  committed  to  the  care  of  the  clergy. 
Power  and  wealth  are  in  their  hands.  The  country  is  full  of 
Jesuits,  and  what  they  dare  not  do  openly  they  generally  try  to  ac- 
complish by  their  own  secret  methods.  At  the  capital,  especially, 
the  power  of  their  influence  is  felt,  and  for  that  reason  our  work  is 
now  peculiarly  difficult. 


246  REPUBLIC   OF   COLOMBIA — MEDELLIN. 

Medellln  Station. 

This  station  was  occupied  October,  1889.  It  is  the  capital  of  the 
Department  of  Antioquia,  situated  in  a  valley  of  the  Corderillas  of 
the  Andes  ;  one  hundred  miles  distant  from  the  Magdalena  River, 
235  miles  from  Bogota  ;  about  5,000  feet  above  the  sea  level ;  aver- 
age temperature,  700  Fahrenheit  ;  population  about  50,000. 

Mr.  Touzeau  writes  :  "  The  work  goes  on  without  much  change, 
laying  foundations  for  building  a  new  social  fabric,  in  which  the 
Gospel  of  Jesus  Christ  will  be,  we  hope,  the  pervading  influence,  but 
the  work  of  changing  ideas  and  customs  is  slow  ;  we  seek  to  allay 
prejudice  by  circulating  tracts  and  books  by  sale  and  gift,  thus 
showing  that  we  teach  Christian  doctrine  ;  many  who  do  not  and 
will  not  attend  services  thus  receive  impressions.  During  the  year 
public  services  have  been  held  continuously  ;  if  this  were  the  only 
means  of  reaching  the  people  the  outlook  would  be  discouraging, 
because  so  small  is  the  attendance  compared  with  the  population  of 
the  city,  but  here  in  the  city  a  large  number  of  tracts  have  been  dis- 
tributed,— e.  g.  on  keeping  Sunday  ;  these  given  on  Sunday  morning 
to  persons  working  or  transacting  business  ;  also,  others  on  drinking 
and  profanity.  Several  (four)  journeys  have  been  made  in  which 
books  and  tracts  have  been  sold  or  given. 

"  Opposition  is  not  open.  The  government  does  not  interfere  with 
us,  although  in  one  town  the  priest  caused  my  arrest  by  the  alcalde 
or  burgess  ;  but  he  was  obliged  to  let  me  go,  and  drop  the  matter. 
In  the  same  town,  the  priest,  foiled  in  the  matter  of  law,  made  the 
people  refuse  us  food  for  ourselves  and  the  beasts,  but  we  got  it. 
In  another  town,  the  priest  heard  of  our  coming,  and  when  we  ar- 
rived the  hotels  and  boarding-houses  would  not  receive  us,  but  we 
stayed  four  days  and  fared  well. 

"  The  literature  circulated  has  been  more  outside  the  city  than  in 
it;  in  all  about  1,000  books  and  tracts  sold,  and  about  5,000  given. 
After  the  novelty  has  passed,  the  people  will  not  buy  ;  so  we 
seldom  go  twice  to  the  same  place,  although  that  seems  unnecessary 
until  all  the  surrounding  country  has  been  visited;  except  where 
special  interest  is  shown.  Alas,  that  seldom  or  rarely  is  shown,  and 
nearly  always  cools  before  the  opposition  of  neighbors  and  friends. 
Indifference  or  fanaticism  is  the  condition  of  nearly  all  the  people. 
The  great  need  of  this  people  is  awakening  to  a  sense  of  guilt  before 
God,  and  a  desire  to  know  the  way  in  which  they  should  walk.  As 
things  are,  they  are  either  satisfied  that  they  are  right,  or  indifferent 
to  any  serious  thought.     We  need  the  prayers  of  God's  people. 

"  The  school  work  has  been  carried  on  on  a  small  scale  ;  by  day, 
small  children  are  taught,  and  in  the  evening  boys  who  work  come 
to  learn.  Mrs.  Touzeau  and  I  do  the  teaching  ;  we  greatly  need  a 
native  to  teach  the  common  branches.  The  pupils  are  generally 
children  of  those  who  attend  the  services.  Amongst  them  the  work 
is  encouraging  ;  they  are  learning  from  the  beginning,  and  have 
little  to  unlearn  as  compared  with  the  older  ones.  We  have  the  be- 
ginning of  an  orphanage  in  the  house  :  two  children,  a  boy  and  a 
girl." 


REPUBLIC   OF   COLOMBIA — BARRANQUILLA.  247 

Barranquilla  Station. 

Barranquilla  is  the  main  port  of  Colombia,  lying  at  the  mouth  of 
the  great  artery  of  the  interior  commercial  life,  the  Magdalena 
River,  which  is  to  Colombia  what  the  Nile  is  to  Egypt.  Barran- 
quilla is  a  town  of  30,000  inhabitants  now,  and  gives  evidence  of 
vigorous  growth  in  the  new  buildings  constantly  erected,  and  the 
new  commercial  enterprises  begun  and  in  prospect.  A  line  of 
steamers  direct  from  New  York  brings  it  within  easy  access  of  our 
own  country  for  missionary  as  well  as  commercial  purposes.  There 
is  a  great  difference  between  the  climate  and  conditions  of  Barran- 
quilla and  Bogota.  The  latter  is  high  up  on  the  mountains,  while 
the  former  is  situated  in  the  lowlands  where  the  climate  is  warmer, 
and  where,  on  many  accounts,  it  is  more  difficult  to  keep  strong  and 
well  in  the  midst  of  pressing  labors.  In  spite  of  this,  it  is  the  gen- 
eral opinion  of  foreign  residents,  of  whom  not  a  few  have  stood  the 
climate  for  more  than  twenty  years,  that  there  is  not  a  more  health- 
ful place  within  the  regions  of  the  lowlands  and  the  coast.  The 
station  was  opened  by  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Candor  in  May,  1888. 

From  some  cause  or  other,  no  report  has  reached  the  Board  from 
Barranquilla  covering  the  work  of  the  past  year.  Letters  have  in- 
dicated, however,  that  the  usual  lines  of  work  are  being  pursued. 
There  are  two  schools  for  girls  ;  one  taught  by  Mrs.  Candor,  and 
the  other  by  Mrs.  Ladd.  The  two  schools  endeavor  to  reach  dif- 
ferent classes  of  girls.  Mr.  Candor  writes  that  there  are  two  marked 
classes  in  the  country  :  the  rich  and  the  poor ;  the  "  better-than- 
you  "  class  and  the  "  worse-than-I  "  class.  The  former  will  not  at- 
tend a  school  which  attempts  to  reach  the  latter.  The  latter  is  a 
very  large  class.  The  conditions  of  life  are  such  that  its  numbers 
multiply  faster  than  the  numbers  of  the  better  class  whom  Mrs.  Ladd 
attempts  to  reach.  There  is  a  great  deal  of  competition  in  the  mat- 
ter of  the  schools.  The  Romish  Sisters  have  some,  and  in  many 
the  teachers  have  been  prepared  in  France  and  Belgium.  The 
mission  sustains  a  small  orphanage  for  the  poor,  which  offers 
a  large  open  door  for  useful  work  in  a  field  where  there  is 
comparatively  no  competition  to  meet.  Two-thirds  of  the  people  are 
very  ignorant  and  very  poor,  with  no  chance  to  learn  even  their 
letters.  Regarding  them,  Mr.  Candor  writes  in  one  of  his  letters  : 
"  We  feel  great  sympathy  for  these  poor,  who  have  no  schools,  are 
looked  down  upon,  and  are  almost  without  hope  in  this  country  unless 
they  get  help.  We  would  not  support  any  who  can  support  them- 
selves, nor  even  give  them  free  tuition ;  but  we  would  teach  them, 
show  them  practical  sympathy,  and  point  out  to  them  the  better 
way.  We  would  teach  them  the  Gospel  and  enough  more  to  help 
them  to  rise  above  their  low  condition."  Mrs.  Ladd  writes  that  she 
has  43  pupils  in  her  school,  and  expects  more;  while  Mrs.  Candor 
has  60.  A  year  ago  last  January,  Mr.  Pond  was  added  to  the  force 
in  Barranquilla,  and  this  last  winter  Mrs.  Pond  went  out  to  join 
him.  Foreign  influences  are  more  or  less  felt  in  Barranquilla  as  the 
principal  seaport,  and  every  increase  of  such  influences  serves  only 


248 


REPUBLIC   OF   COLOMBIA— STATISTICS. 


to  weaken  the  faith  of  the  people  in  religions  which  are  in  such 
large  measure  mere  superstitions.  And  yet",  this  same  influx  of  for- 
eign ideas  carries  with  it  our  modern  vices  and  infidelity  and  indiffer- 
ence. The  darkest  heathenism  presents  hardly  a  more  difficult  and 
appalling  field  than  that  offered  by  countries  which  for  years  have 
been  under  the  unrestricted  domination  of  the  Roman  Church.

The  Syria  Mission  seems  to  thrive  in  proportion  to  the  obstacles 
it  has  to  surmount.  The  past  year  has  been  one  of  marked  growth, 
and  yet  one  in  which  many  difficulties  have  presented  themselves 
on  all  sides.  Cholera  and  its  restrictive  cordons,  at  the  opening  as 
well  as  at  the  close  of  the  year,  interrupted  the  work  seriously  in  all 
parts  of  the  field.  The  fever  for  emigration  to  America  has  turned 
the  attention  of  people  away  from  religious  matters.  The  decided 
opposition  of  the  nominal  Christian  sects  has  culminated  in  unusual 
malignity  against  evangelical  truth.  The  government,  too  often  in- 
cited by  these  opposing  sects,  has  not  relaxed  its  restrictions,  but  is 
endeavoring  rather  to  tighten  them,  and  to  add  new  and  greater 
measures  of  oppression.  Notwithstanding  all  these  things,  the  mis- 
sion records  a  constant  increase  in  the  attendance  on  all  the  schools 
and  religious  services,  a  greater  readiness  among  the  people  to  hear 
the  Gospel,  and  a  larger  number  of  additions  to  the  church  than  in 
any  previous  year  of  its  history.  It  is  a  pleasure  to  read  the  reports 
from  the  five  stations  and  notice  the  apostolic  zeal  and  perseverance 
of  the  missionaries,  and  the  growing  faith  and  steadfastness  of  the 
native  converts  amid  most  trying  circumstances. 

Important  and,  in  some  cases,  unexpected  changes  have  occurred 
in  the  corps  of  missionary  workers.  Dr.  and  Mrs.  Eddy  returned 
to  their  work  in  Beirut  after  a  year's  absence;  Rev.  W.  K.  Eddy 
and  his  family,  and  Miss  Emilia  Thomson  returned  to  this  country 


25O  SYRIA — BEIRUT. 

on  furlough.  The  following  missionaries  have  resigned  their  con- 
nection with  the  mission  :  Rev.  W.  Scott  Watson,  Jr.,  and  Miss 
Emilia  Thomson.  Rev.  James  S.  Dennis,  D.D.,  has  also  resigned 
his  official  connection  with  the  Board  as  a  salaried  missionary,  but 
retains  an  unofficial  and  honorary  relation  with  both  the  Board  and 
the  mission,  and  hopes  to  return  to  Syria  at  some  future  time  to  en- 
gage in  voluntary  service,  especially  in  the  preparation  of  religious 
literature  in  the  Arabic  language.  His  twenty-three  years  of  effi- 
cient service  in  Syria  are  mentioned  with  high  appreciation  in  the 
correspondence  with  the  mission  and  in  the  minutes  of  the  Board. 

We  thus  note  a  diminution  in  the  corps  of  active  laborers,  while 
the  work  the  mission  is  called  upon  to  do  is  increasing.  There  is 
need  of  new  recruits  to  take  the  place  of  those  who  have  laid  aside 
the  work,  as  well  as  to  meet  the  demands  for  greatly  needed  enlarge- 
ment. Three  of  the  stations  of  the  mission  are  on  the  seacoast, 
and  one  on  either  side  of  the  range  of  Lebanon.  But  it  should 
always  be  borne  in  mind  that  the  influence  of  the  work  done  by  this 
mission  is  not,  and  never  has  been,  confined  to  its  geographical 
limits.  It  is  very  far-reaching,  so  much  so  that  the  importance  of 
making  a  more  vigorous  attempt  to  conquer  the  country  for  Christ 
cannot  be  overestimated.  A  pure  evangelical  type  of  religion  has 
been  established,  and  shows  to  the  Mohammedans  what  the  Gospel 
of  Jesus  Christ  is,  and  they  are  indicating  their  appreciation  of  this 
fact  in  many  and  remarkable  instances.  It  is  not  the  part  of  wisdom 
to  record  with  any  special  detail  these  cases.  It  should  be  said,  how- 
ever, that  of  those  who  have  been  baptized  and  received  into  the 
church  from  the  followers  of  Islam  scarcely  one  has  been  permitted 
to  remain  in  the  country.  Freedom  to  a  Mohammedan  to  worship 
God  according  to  an  enlightened  conscience  is  not  yet  granted  in 
Syria.  We  need  to  offer  earnest  prayer  to  God  for  the  removal  of 
this  serious  barrier  to  the  progress  of  His  kingdom  in  that  land. 

Beirut. 

The  largest  city  in  the  limits  of  the  Syria  Mission  is  Beirut ;  it 
numbers  about  90,000  inhabitants.  The  work  done  here  by  the 
missionaries  is  not  alone  or  principally  for  the  city  itself,  but  for  the 
whole  field.  A  cloud  of  sorrow  was  brought  upon  this  station  by 
the  death  of  Mrs.  Dr.  W.  G.  SchaufHer  on  the  23d  of  December, 
and  of  Geraldine,  the  daughter  of  Mrs.  G.  F.  Dale,  on  the  15th  of 
October.  Earlier  in  the  year,  "  Mrs.  Mott,  the  Directress  of  the 
British  Syrian  Schools,  so  widely  and  favorably  known  in  the  mis- 
sionary world,  rested  from  the  labors  of  a  long  and  eminently  use- 
ful life.  She  had  always  been  in  full  sympathy  and  co-operation 
with  our  mission,  and  her  parting  wish  was  that  the  same  co-opera- 
tion might  be  continued  in  the  future."  The  evangelistic  work  in 
connection  with  the  schools  that  have  been  under  her  direction  has 
been  carried  on  principally  by  the  missionaries  of  our  Board. 

Dr.  H.  H.  Jessup,  in  the  station  report,  gives  the  following  inter- 
esting facts: 


252  SYRIA— BEIRUT. 

"  Rev.  Yusef  Bedr  has  continued  his  work  as  pastor  of  the  Beirut 
Native  Church,  and  reports  a  considerable  depletion  of  his  congre- 
gation by  emigration  to  America  and  Australia.  This  phenomenon 
of  Syrian  emigration  is  the  most  striking  fact  of  the  last  five  years 
in  Syria.  The  thousands  who  have  emigrated  from  the  cities,  towns, 
and  hamlets  are  largely  the  very  brain  and  brawn  of  the  land — 
active,  energetic,  and  wide-awake.  The  best  educated  young  men 
and  women,  who  are  the  most  needed  here,  and  best  fitted  to  benefit 
and  bless  their  country,  finding  so  few  avenues  of  employment  and 
so  little  hope  of  a  prosperous  future  to  themselves  and  their  fami- 
lies, are  swarming  out  of  the  old  Syrian  hive  to  seek  their  fortunes 
beyond  the  seas.  The  native  schools  are  losing  their  teachers,  the 
churches  their  best  members  and  their  present  and  prospective  pas- 
tors. The  work  of  this  mission  is  passing  through  a  crisis.  We 
mourn  the  loss  of  our  best  youth,  but  we  cannot  blame  them  for 
seeking  a  better  lot.  We  believe  that  many  of  them  will  yet  return 
and  be  a  blessing  to  their  native  land,  and  we  are  grateful  to  God 
that  one  of  our  absent  members,  Rev.  Dr.  Samuel  Jessup,  now 
providentially  detained  in  the  United  States,  has  been  appointed  by 
the  Board  to  labor  for  the  time  being  for  the  spiritual  and  moral 
welfare  of  the  Syrian  colonies  in  the  United  States." 

"This  depletion  of  our  native  churches  is, interfering  very  seri- 
ously with  the  whole  question  of  self-support,  and  threatens  to  be  a 
still  more  serious  matter  in  the  immediate  future." 

"Twenty-three  persons  have  been  added  to  the  Beirut  church 
on  profession  of  faith  during  the  year.  Of  this  number  fourteen 
were  females  and  nine  were  males,  and  almost  all  were  young  in 
years. 

"The  various  congregations  and  Sunday-schools  have  been  con- 
tinued about  the  same  as  in  the  year  previous,  and  the  women's 
meetings  have  been  continued  under  the  care  of  Mrs.  Dale,  Mrs. 
Dennis,  Mrs.  Porter,  Mrs.  Graham,  and  Miss  Anna  Jessup." 

The  Theological  Seminary. — Owing  to  the  return  of  Dr.  Dennis 
to  this  country  before  the  close  of  the  Seminary  year,  Mr.  Ford,  of 
the  Sidon  station,  took  the  personal  oversight  of  the  students,  giv- 
ing instruction  in  theology,  and  also  preaching  statedly  on  the  Sab- 
bath in  the  chapel  of  the  College  by  request  of  the  Faculty.  The 
seven  students  of  the  class  completed  their  course  of  studies  in 
June  and  received  their  diplomas.  The  report  adds  :  "  Let  us 
commend  these  Syrians  to  the  guidance  and  inspiration  of  the  Holy 
Spirit  as  they  carry  the  Gospel  of  salvation  to  their  countrymen." 
No  new  class  was  received  into  the  Seminary  in  the  autumn  of  1891. 
The  necessity  of  retrenchment  at  some  point,  taken  in  connection 
with  the  absence  of  two  members  of  the  station,  made  it  appear  to 
the  Board  that  the  suspension  of  theological  instruction  was  a  pos- 
sible method  of  economy.  It  cannot,  however,  but  be  demoralizing 
to  any  institution  to  be  obliged  to  close  its  doors  for  a  year  or  two 
at  a  time. 

The  Female  Seminary  makes  special  mention  of  its  regret  at  the 
departure  of  Miss  Emilia  Thomson,  and  of  her  being  under  the  ne-

cessity  of  offering  her  resignation  that  she  may  be  with  her  honored 
and  beloved  father,  Rev.  William  M.  Thomson,  D  L).,  during  the 
remainder  of  his  declining  years.  A  door  will  be  left  wide  open  for 
her  return  when,  in  the  providence  of  God,  she  shall  see  the  way 
clear  to  do  so.  The  Seminary  report  tells  its  own  story  in  the  fol- 
lowing words: 

"The  special  feature  which  has  characterized  the  entire  year  has 
been  the  increased  interest  in  spiritual  things.  The  Week  of  Prayer 
was  observed  by  informal  noon  meetings,  small  at  first  and  held  in  an 
upper  room,  but  growing  in  size  daily  as  pupils  returned  from  their 
holidays,  until  the  school-room  itself  was  needed  to  accommodate 
the  number  who  gathered  for  the  few  moments  set  apart  for  that 
purpose.  New  voices  were  heard  in  prayer,  and  a  new  spirit  seemed, 
to  actuate  many. 

"  All  hearts  were  solemnized  by  the  report  of  the  progress  of  the 
pestilence  (cholera)  in  Tripoli,  and  the  command,  '  Prepare  to  meet 
thy  God,'  sounded  in  every  ear.  Consciences  were  awakened  as 
never  before,  and  every  opportunity  was  used  to  deepen  the  im- 
pressions already  made  and  to  induce  inquirers  to  take  a  decided 
stand  for  the  Lord.  Permission  was  asked  by  the  Christian  girls  to 
hold  a  prayer-meeting  among  themselves  Sunday  afternoons,  but  it 
was  not  long  before  nearly  the  entire  school  were  found  wending 
their  way  to  the  place  of  prayer.  Last  fall  a  new  scholar,  of  her 
own  accord,  started  similar  meetings. 

"  An  instance  of  the  aroused  sense  of  personal  responsibility 
which  possessed  many  is  that  of  a  girl  who  had  spent  a  number  of 
years  in  school,  who  was,  as  her  teacher  trusted,  a  true  believer,  and 
yet  who  could  not  be  induced  to  declare  herself  such  in  any  public 
way.  Taking  charge  of  the  girls'  weekly  prayer-meeting  just  be- 
fore Easter,  expecting  to  leave  school  at  that  time,  she  used  the 
opportunity  thus  presented  for  telling  her  companions  how  she 
found  the  Saviour  during  her  school  days,  and  what  He  had  become 
to  her  ;  witnessing  for  Him  most  faithfully. 

"  Before  the  close  of  the  summer  term  a  final  expression  was 
called  for  from  those  who  purposed  to  serve  the  Lord,  and  eighteen 
arose,  thus  signifying  their  intention,  while  six  others  asked  for 
prayers  that  they  might  become  Christians." 

The  total  number  of  boarders  during  the  year  was  59,  and  the 
day  pupils  enrolled  were  47. 

The  Press. — The  manager  of  the  Press  gives  a  report  of  that 
flourishing  department  of  work  in  these  words:  "  The  work  of  the 
Press  has  continued  during  the  year  without  interruption,  but  the 
cholera  quarantines  and  cordons  have  interfered  seriously  with  the 
book  distribution  and  sales  in  the  interior.  Vet  the  sum  totals  of 
the  work  done  during  the  year  show  that  the  demand  for  sound 
Christian  literature  continues.  Up  to  the  first  of  December  the 
Board  of  Public  Instruction  had  given  us  and  other  presses  all 
needed  facilities  in  examining  and  approving  manuscripts  of  books 
proposed  for  printing,  lint  on  December  1st  orders  came  from  Con- 
stantinople that  hereafter  all  manuscripts  must  be  first  approved  by 


254  SYRIA — BEIRUT. 

the  local  Board  and  then  sent  to  Constantinople  for  examination. 
This  new  rule  is  so  burdensome  and  disastrous  to  the  interests  of 
public  instruction  that  we  have  sent  a  petition  to  the  Waly  of  Beirut 
asking  that  the  action  be  rescinded.  If  not,  we  shall  be  obliged  to 
copy  at  great  expense  every  book  offered  for  publication  and  then 
wait  many  months  before  receiving  permission  to  print. 

''The  Neshra  was  resumed  January  i,  1891,  and  has  continued 
through  the  year.  It  is  now  a  purely  religious  and  scientific  mis- 
cellany. As  we  failed  to  get  a  firman  for  the  Konkab,  or  Chil- 
dren's Monthly,  we  print  a  monthly  supplement  to  the  Neshra, 
with  matter  and  illustrations  adapted  to  children. 

"  During  the  past  year  the  Press  has  sent  Arabic  books  to  all 
parts  of  Syria  and  Palestine;  to  Constantinople,  Tabriz,  Teheran, 
Hamadan,  Ispahan,  Julfa,  Mardin,  Mosul,  Baghdad,  Aden,  Bombay, 
Singapore,  Hodeideh,  Zanzibar,  all  parts  of  Egypt,  Tripoli  (Africa), 
Tunis,  Algiers,  Morocco,  Leipsic,  London,  New  York,  and  Chicago. 

"The  number  of  pages  printed  was  23,279,850.  The  number  of 
Arabic  scriptures  and  parts  issued  by  the  American  Bible  Society 
was  27,008." 

The  necessities  of  the  Board  were  such  that  a  further  retrench- 
ment was  brought  to  bear  upon  the  printing  establishment,  the  usual 
subsidy  to  it  being  withdrawn.  At  the  same  time  one  of  the  print- 
ing machines,  as  well  as  the  boiler  and  steam  engine,  needed  re- 
placing. Special  gifts  were  made  for  this  purpose  by  individuals  in 
this  country,  so  that  the  new  cylinder  printing  machine,  together 
with  the  new  steam  engine  and  boiler,  will  have  reached  Beirut  by 
the  time  this  report  appears.  Dr.  Eddy's  work  on  the  Commentary 
of  the  New  Testament  was  suspended  during  his  year  of  absence  in 
the  United  States,  but  has  been  resumed  by  him  since  his  return, 
and  at  the  close  of  the  year  had  reached  the  eighteenth  chapter  of 
Acts.  The  Bible  Dictionary,  which  is  under  preparation  by  Dr. 
Post,  is  making  good  progress,  the  first  volume  being  nearly  ready 
for  the  press. 

The  little  upper  chamber  where  Drs.  Smith  and  Van  Dyck 
labored  so  many  years  in  preparing  the  Arabic  translation  of  the 
Bible  has  been  carefully  kept,  so  far  as  possible,  in  its  original  state. 
A  memorial  tablet  in  Arabic  and  English  has  been  placed  by  Pres- 
ident Gilman,  of  Johns  Hopkins  University,  on  the  wall  of  that 
little  room,  now  a  part  of  the  Female  Seminary,  recording  the  history 
of  the  great  work  done  there. 

Woman's  Work. — Mrs.  G.  F.  Dale  has  given  time  and  strength  in 
an  earnest  and  loving  spirit  to  work  among  the  women  at  Ras  Beirut 
and  in  the  eastern  section  of  the  city.  An  average  of  150  women 
have  been  in  attendance  upon  the  liiblc-classes  and  faithful  visiting 
has  cheered  and  guided  many  a  soul. 

"The  Syrian  Protestant  College  has  rejoiced  in  the  completion  of 
a  beautiful  and  commodious  '  Assembly  Hall,'  the  gift  of  Mr.  and 
Mrs.  Elbert  B.  Monroe.  It  is  available  for  the  general  exercises 
of  the  College,  as  well  as  for  Sunday  services.  The  Governor  of 
Beirut  was  seated  at  the  side  of  the  President  of  the  College  on 


SYRIA— SIDON.  255 

the  platform  when  the  hall  was  first  opened  to  the  public.  The 
number  of  pupils  in  the  institution  was  somewhat  diminished, 
owing  to  the  difficulty  pupils  found  in  getting  through  the  cholera 
cordons."  But  the  work  done  by  the  teachers  has  been  felt 
not  by  the  students  alone,  nor  by  the  community  in  Beirut,  but  in 
many  parts  of  Syria  and  the  countries  adjoining  it.  There  were  in 
the  Preparatory  Department  100;  Collegiate  Department,  49  ;  Medi- 
cal Department.  42  ;  total,  191. 

Tlie  Hospital  Work. — Dr.  Post  continues  to  maintain  his  religious 
service  in  the  Hospital  of  the  Prussian  Knights  of  St.  John.  The 
medical  staff  of  the  College  still  render  gratuitous  aid  to  this  inter- 
esting charity.  Its  indoor  patients  were  491  ;  those  treated  in  the 
polycliniques,  12,716.  In  many  instances  patients  come  to  their  first 
knowledge  of  the  Gospel  while  treated  for  their  bodily  ailments. 

Sidon. 

Rev.  William  K.  Eddy,  the  senior  member  of  the  station,  left 
with  his  family  for  a  visit  to  this  country,  after  thirteen  years  of 
consecutive  and  arduous  labor. 

A  strain  of  gratitude  runs  all  through  the  Sidon  station  report. 
While  it  sighs  over  the  retrenchments  that  it  was  necessary  to  order 
it  rejoices  over  gifts  furnished  by  friends  to  relieve  the  distress.  It 
is  therefore  gratifying  to  notice  that  there  has  been  an  increase  of 
six  native  helpers  during  the  year.  Two  new  outstations  with 
schools  have  been  established  at  Kuseibeh  and  Ain  ed  Dilb.  Three 
old  schools  were  revived.  Thirty  members  have  been  received  into 
the  church  ;  many  more  might  have  been  received,  but  that  it  was 
thought  necessary  to  put  the  candidates  under  a  more  stringent  ex- 
amination. Eighteen,  however,  at  the  close  of  the  year  were  waiting 
on  probation,  to  whom  there  was  no  objection.  It  is  pleasant  to 
note  that  the  benevolent  contributions  of  the  church  in  that  station 
have  increased,  being  $115  more  than  in  the  previous  year.  Besides 
this  there  is  a  "  special  gift  of  $440  to  the  Sidon  church,  as  an  in- 
vestment for  future  years  after  her  decease,  by  a  godly  female  do- 
mestic, this  sum  being  the  earnings  of  many  years  of  service  in  the 
families  of  missionaries.  It  is  a  most  noteworthy  and  noble  instance 
of  Christian  devotion  and  philanthropy." 

"  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Watson  spent  the  summer  at  Jezzin,  and  proved 
more  conclusively  than  ever  that  the  old  bigotry  of  that  Maronite 
stronghold  is  melting  away.  The  friendliness  of  the  people  was 
marked,  and  the  religious  services  (including  the  Women's  Meeting) 
conducted  by  the  native  preacher  and  his  wife  were  well  attended. 

"A  number  of  pupils  accepted  for  the  Sidon  Academy  were  shut 
out  by  the  cholera  cordon,  so  that  the  increase  expected  does  not  ap- 
pear. This  institution  holds  its  own,  however,  in  numbers,  order, 
and  efficiency,  while  the  payments  have  considerably  increased.  The 
full  boarders  number  44,  the  half  boarders  11,  and  the  village  boys 
to  whom  sleeping  room  onlj  is  giveni  6.     The  day  pupils  are  17." 

The  Female  Seminary  has  been  pursuing  its  useful  and  interesting 


256  SYRIA — SIDON. 

work.     The  following  extracts  from  its  report  will  indicate  the  result 
of  what  has  been  done  : 

"School  reopened  October  14th,  with  but  seventeen  boarders,  the 
rest  being  detained  either  by  the  fear  of  cholera,  the  impossibility 
of  coming  owing  to  quarantine  restrictions,  or  by  sickness.  The 
number  gradually  increased  until  at  the  present  time  there  are  39 
boarders  and  the  regular  corps  of  teachers.  The  number  of  pupils 
has  been  further  increased  by  the  admission  of  the  highest  class  in 
the  day-school,  a  new  arrangement  which  we  hope  will  benefit,  not 
only  the  Sidon  girls  received,  but  also  increase  the  enthusiasm  of 
the  successive  classes,  and  thereby  help  the  day-school,  the  upper 
department  of  which  numbers  24,  the  attendance  in  the  lower  de- 
partment sometimes  being  over  90. 

"  Of  those  who  have  left  the  Seminary  during  the  year  to  enter 
an  active  sphere  of  outside  duty,  one  is  teaching  for  English 
ladies  in  Haifa,  a  second  is  at  the  English  Orphanage  at  Nazareth, 
another  is  happily  married  to  a  Protestant  young  man  in  her  own 
village,  and  the  fourth,  while  living  at  home,  assists  in  two  women's 
meetings  during  the  week,  and  has  proved  a  pleasant  companion  in 
making  calls  at  native  houses.  Another  of  our  former  teachers,  a 
sweet,  lovable  girl  of  decided  Christian  character,  was  married  from 
the  Seminary  last  February,  the  event  proving  something  of  an  ex- 
citement to  the  girls,  who  clapped  hands  and  sang  bride-songs 
before  her  after  she  was  dressed  and  before  she  was  taken  to  the 
church.  In  a  letter  received  from  her,  she  writes  :  '  We  began  our 
Thursday  meeting  for  women  some  weeks  ago  and  the  attendance 
averages  14.  We  meet  at  the  house  of  an  old  woman,  who,  on 
account  of  her  infirmities,  would  not  otherwise  be  able  to  be  present. 
Our  last  meeting,  however,  was  held  at  the  present  dwelling  of  an 
old  woman  and  her  daughter-in-law,  who  have  recently  lost  their 
home  and  four  members  of  their  family  by  the  falling  in  of  the 
roof  and  stone  walls  undermined  by  the  heavy  rains.'  She  adds  : 
'  I  did  my  best  to  lighten  their  sorrow,  and  read  to  them  the  stories 
of  Job  and  Naomi.'  Still  other  teachers  and  pupils  send  back  affec- 
tionate letters  to  the  school,  assuring  us  of  their  pleasant  memories 
of  the  life  here  and  telling  us  about  the  work  in  which  they  are  now- 
engaged." 

The  report  resumes  :  "  During  the  long  vacation  a  number  of 
villages  were  visited,  either  on  week-days  or  for  Sunday  meetings, 
and  as  upon  other  visits  the  Judeideh  home  proved  a  happy  and 
restful  place  to  all  who  occupied  it.  The  upper  floor,  being  fin- 
ished, was  used  for  the  first  time  and  gave  great  delight,  not  only 
Oil  account  of  its  convenient  arrangements,  but  also  because  of  the 
superb  view  of  Mount  Hermon  and  the  intervening  hills  and  plains 
obtained  from  its  windows.  The  teachers  there  were  relieved  of 
much  of  the  responsibility  of  the  regular  Thursday  women's  meet- 
ing as  long  as  summer  lasted.  Other  meetings  have  been  held  dur- 
ing the  school  months  among  Jews,  Christians,  and  Moslems. 

"Other  meetings  held  include  one  for  nominal  Christian  women 
once  a  week,  and  another  for   Moslem  women,  the  latter  induced  to 


SYRIA- SIDON.  257 

come  by  a  few  yards   of  unbleached  muslin   given   at   the  end  of 
three  months." 

"The  religious  feeling  in  the  school  has  been  excellent  during  the 
year.  All  the  teachers  and  7  of  the  girls  are  members  of  the  church, 
and  there  is  a  large  class  of  inquirers.  The  pupils  come  from 
Sidon,  Abeih,  and  Zahleh  stations,  and  there  is  good  reason  for  hop- 
ing that  we  may  have  an  ingatheringof  souls  during  the  coming  season." 

The  Church  in  the  city  of  Sidon  has  dispersed  in  benevolence 
some  $140,  thus  maintaining  its  creditable  standing  for  generosity. 
The  villages  near  Sidon  are  unable  to  find  places  large  enough  for 
their  gatherings.  The  old  church  at  Rashaiyeh  is  too  small  for  its 
congregation.  Facts  like  these  are  encouraging,  and  yet  the  difficul- 
ties of  providing  church  buildings,  owing  to  the  restrictions  of  the 
Government,  are  such  that  people  know  not  what  to  do. 

The  mission  intrusted  to  the  Sidon  Presbytery,  with  proper  safe- 
guards, the  control  of  the  work  among  the  eleven  organized  churches 
of  that  field.  This  new  responsibility  gave  fresh  point  and  zest  to 
the  gathering  of  the  Presbytery  at  Mejdeluneh,  August  nth.  "All 
the  proceedings  were  harmonious,  and  the  business  was  transacted 
with  a  good  degree  of  efficiency  and  dispatch. 

"  We  have  one  new  building  for  our  work  that  has  cost  us  neither 
time  nor  money.  The  Druzes  of  Batir,  where  the  school  is  kept  by 
the  young  Druze  convert  mentioned  in  the  last  report,  and  who  paj 
handsomely  toward  his  support,  after  having  entertained  the  school 
in  their  sacred  Khuhveh  or  sanctuary  thus  far,  last  summer,  entirely 
at  their  own  expense,  built  a  new  school-house." 

"It  is  a  great  treat  to  see  the  new  chapel  at  Mejdel,  with  its  roof 
of  corrugated,  galvanized  iron  from  England,  and  its  neat  and  spa- 
cious audience-room  for  school  on  week-days  and  worship  on  Sun- 
days. A  full  account  was  given  last  year  of  the  steps  by  which 
orders  were  secured  to  put  up  this  building,  and  to  open  the  closed 
schools." 

''The  six  long  years  of  struggle,  privation,  and  costly  effort  have 
yielded  these  three  important  results  :  First,  the  unauthorized  and 
tottering  mission  building  has  been  not  only  rebuilt  but  legalized  by 
the  highest  authority  next  to  the  throne  ;  second,  the  four  schools 
at  Mejdel,  A  in  Kunyeh,  Hamath,  and  Mahardeh,  that  before  had  no 
legal  standing  and  could  at  any  time  be  closed  by  the  Government, 
have  now  been  set  upon  a  permanent,  unassailable  footing  ;  and 
third,  a  principle  has  been  enunciated  by  the  high  authority  named 
that  virtually  secures  against  even  Government  interference,  all  our 
existing  schools." 

Many  instances  are  cited  of  the  intensely  bitter  hatred  of  the 
nominal  Christian  sects  to  our  missionary  work.  Their  patriarchs 
and  bishops  and  priests,  as  well  as  the  Papal  Consuls  at  Beirut, 
have  taken  special  pains  to  injure  Protestants' and  obstruct  their 
work.  "  But  God  raised  up  as  instruments  in  answer  to  His  people's 
prayers  the  British  and  German  Consuls,  by  whom,  in  more  than  one 
instance,  deliverance  from  gross  injustice  has  been  secured  to  per- 
secuted Protestants."     But  many  of  the  poor  people  have  been  be-

yond  the  reach  of  any  such  aid.  Their  land  has  been  taken  away 
from  them,  their  property  has  been  destroyed,  false  witnesses  have 
given  perjured  testimony  against  them.  Some  of  them  have  lingered 
long  in  prison  with  no  legal  charge  against  them.  At  Kana,  a  Greek 
Papal  priest,  enraged  at  the  attractive  power  of  our  school,  entered 
our  church,  beating  some  of  the  pupils  and  driving  the  rest  of  them 
from  the  building.  In  Bashaiyeh,  for  some  reason,  our  teacher  was 
attacked  and  injured  by  the  Papal  Greek  teacher,  who  for  this  as- 
sault immediately  hastened  to  the  Government  court  and  made  false 
charges  against  our  teacher,  and  through  strong  influence  secured 
his  imprisonment  and  a  heavy  fine  against  him.  Other  similar  cases 
are  reported,  not  only  from  this  station,  but  from  other  stations  of 
the  mission. 

Abeih. 

The  record  of  progress  which  the  report  of  this  station  makes  in 
its  educational  work  is  more  than  usually  gratifying.  The  points 
occupied  in  this  part  of  the  mission  are  all  on  the  western  slopes  of 
the  Lebanon  Mountains.  There  are  61  native  preachers  and  teach- 
ers employed  ;  40  schools  are  in  operation,  giving  instruction  to 
nearly  2,000  pupils.  One  thousand  pupils  are  also  taught  by  other 
evangelical  societies.  Mention  is  made  in  the  report  of  the  death  of 
Mrs.  Elizabeth  Watson,  an  English  lady,  who  has  spent  her  whole 
life  in  the  work  of  education,  and  the  larger  part  of  it  in  Syria. 
She  has  been  in  hearty  sympathy  with  our  mission  from  the  first  and 
donated  for  our  use  valuable  property  in  Deir  Mimas,  as  well  as  the 
church  in  Shemlan,  where  she  founded  a  training-school,  which  is 
now  conducted  by  an  English  society. 

Mr.  Hardin  in  his  report  says:  "The  proverbial  conservatism  of 
mountaineers  is  quite  as  tenacious  in  the  Lebanon  as  in  any  other 
part  of  the  world.  Villages  within  a  few  hours  of  Beirut  are  almost 
untouched  by  the  influences  of  the  nineteenth  century.  Still,  within 
the  period  covered  by  the  history  of  the  mission  there  has  been  most 
substantial  progress.  Even  these  everlasting  hills  are  moving.  Ig- 
norance and  superstition  are  steadily  retreating  before  the  light  of 
truth.  One  of  the  mightiest  factors  in  producing  this  change  is 
the  school.  The  amount  of  teaching  and  other  educational  work 
done  in  this  mountain  is  very  great." 

The  school  work  conducted  by  our  mission  is  evangelistic,  and 
every  school  is  a  centre  for  Bible  study  and  Gospel  preaching.  At 
Shweifat  Miss  Proctor,  an  Irish  lady,  conducts  a  boys'  and  girls' 
boarding-school,  with  41  pupils,  doing  missionary  work  in  the  towns 
near  by.  She  is  aided  by  our  mission  in  a  part  of  this  work.  In 
the  day-schools  of  the  town  are  200  children.  The  services  on  the 
Sabbath  have  been  so  crowded  that  the  small  children  have  fre- 
quently been  dismissed  to  make  place  for  the  older  people. 

The  town  of  Abeih  is  the  residence  of  Mr.  Bird  and  family. 
Much  work  has  been  done  among  all  classes,  but  particularly  among 
the  women.  Miss  Emily  Bird  has  been  very  diligent  in  this  depart- 
ment, having  the  oversight  of  a  girls'  school  in  that  place,  as  well  as 


SYRIA — ABEIH.  259 

in  other  places.  She  visited  fifteen  of  the  villages,  besides  making 
a  prolonged  stay  in  Deir  el  Komr.  The  Woman's  Society  under 
her  charge  sold  the  proceeds  of  their  work  for  $50,  using  the 
amount  for  benevolent  purposes. 

"The  recent  week  of  prayer  meetings  were  especially  encour- 
aging, since  many  of  other  sects  came,  and  the  room  was  crowded; 
the  hearts  of  many  seemed  touched  and  spiritual  life  quickened. 
Some  are  trying  to  solve  the  problem  whether  they  may  not  live  the 
lives  of  Christians  while  remaining  in  their  old  churches. 

"At  Deir  el  Komr,  the  lack  of  suitable  accommodations  for  the 
schools  and  religious  meetings  has  been  most  seriously  felt.  To 
even  in  a  measure  hold  the  ground  has  cost  the  missionaries  much 
labor  and  anxiety.  Mr.  bird  and  his  family  spent  an  entire  month 
here  toward  the  end  of  summer.  It  is  a  convenient  centre  for  the 
many  villages  in  that  part  of  the  field.  Bigotry  has  in  a  great  de- 
gree passed  away,  and  some  of  these  people  are  evangelical  except 
in  name. 

"  In  the  Druze  villages  of  this  region,  Bakalin,  Gharifeh,  Ammatur, 
Kt'fr  Nt'brakh,  and  others,  the  people  are  at  least  interested  in  the 
schools.  They  pay  far  more  toward  the  support  of  these  than  nomi- 
nal Christian  villages.  The  people  of  Jchaleyeh,  a  comparatively 
small  Druze  village,  in  order  to  secure  a  school,  provide  rooms  for 
the  school  and  teacher  and  pay  $40.  This  curious  and  most  politic 
people  are  evidently  drawing  toward  a  crisis  in  their  history  which 
may  result  in  their  taking  a  very  different  attitude  toward  the  truth. 
The  'initiated'  sheikhs,  in  their  black  and  white  striped  cloaks  and 
white  turbans,  are  quite  a  marked  feature  on  the  roads  as  they  go 
about  in  companies  from  place  to  place  conferring  together  and 
stirring  up  the  faithful.  It  is  doubtful  whether  the  recent  troubles 
in  China  add  anything  to  their  excitement,  although  their  expecta- 
tions are  that  their  Messiah  will  come  from  that  country." 

"At  Ain  Zchalteh)  on  the  23d  of  September,  a  native  pastor  was 
ordained  for  that  church,  to  take  the  place  of  one  who  had  served  it 
many  years,  but  had  passed  on  to  a  higher  service  above.  In 
Hatnmana  a  curious  state  of  things  had  existed  for  many  years. 
(  me  family  of  Protestants  were  so  inimical  to  one  another  that  the 
whole  people  supposed  nothing  would  ever  change  their  dispositions. 
During  the  week  of  prayer,  meetings  were  held  from  house  to  house 
each  night.  The  Spirit  was  evidently  there.  A  change  came  over 
these  men.  They  made  up  their  differences.  Their  neighbors  could 
scarcely  believe  it.  A  village  priest  declared  it  a  miracle,  and  it  was 
a  miracle  of  grace.  Several  Maronites  are  reading  their  Bibles  with 
much  earnestness.  The  school  continues  strong  despite  the  personal 
efforts  of  the  Jesuit  Fathers. 

"  B'hamd&m  school  has  doubled  in  size  since  the  Russian  Consul 
withdrew  his  support  from  the  Creek  school.  Our  school  now  oc- 
cupies the  room  where  theirs  was,  near  to  and  belonging  to  the 
Greek  church,  using  their  bene  lies  and  stove.  One  of  the  Creeks 
was  scandalized,  and  made  complaints  to  the  Bishop,  who  replied: 
'  Never  mind,  my  son,  we  may  all  become  Protestants  soon.'

"  About  130  pupils  attend  each  of  the  boys'  schools  in  Abadiyeh  and 
Aleih,  the  greater  part  children  of  Druzes.  A  girls'  school  was  re- 
cently opened  at  the  former  place  with  over  fifty  girls,  many  of  them 
from  the  families  of  the  Druze  sheikhs." 

Religious  services  have  been  well  attended  at  Suk-ul-Ghurb. 
During  the  school  term  a  large  number  of  pupils  crowd  the  chapel. 
Their  places,  however,  are  filled  during  the  long  summer  vacation 
by  the  crowd  of  people  from  Beirut  seeking  a  change  of  air  in  this 
healthful  village. 

"The  Boys'  School  at  Suk-ul-Ghurb  has  had  a  successful  year. 
Some  92  boys  were  enrolled  in  its  boarding  department.  The  assem- 
bly room  was  crowded  beyond  its  capacity,  while  the  sleeping  rooms 
were  simply  full.  More  than  a  score  were  refused  entrance,  and  it 
was.  found  difficult  to  limit  the  number.  The  school  was  graciously 
protected  when  the  measles  were  epidemic  in  the  village,  and  more 
fatal  in  the  neighborhood  than  a  visitation  of  cholera. 

"  While  the  first  aim  and  design  of  the  school  is  to  form  and  strengthen 
Christian  character,  no  pressure  has  been  exerted  to  lead  boys  to  make 
an  open  profession  of  their  faith.  Any  one  who  has  made  a  study  of 
Syrian  character  knows  that  whole  classes  of  boys  might  be  rushed  into 
the  church  en  masse  if  efforts  were  directed  to  this  object,  as  a  desirable 
end.  Numbers  of  the  boys  have  given  good  evidence  of  Christian 
character,  and  they  will  yet  be  heard  from  after  they  have  left  the 
school."  Two  of  the  pupils  of  this  school  were  converted  Mohamme- 
dans, and  are  now  doing  service  for  the  Master  among  the  Bedouin 
Arabs  and  in  Southern  Arabia.  The  Christian  Endeavor  Society  meet- 
ings are  very  highly  appreciated  by  the  boys  of  the  school,  and  are  en- 
tirely carried  on  by  themselves.  This  institution  is  regarded  as  one  of 
the  most  hopeful  features  of  the  work  in  the  mountains,  and  it  is  be- 
lieved that  the  money  which  has  been  expended  on  it  is  producing  a 
very  abundant  return  for  the  outlay. 

Tripoli. 

Mr.  March  and  family  returned  from  their  visit  in  America  on  the 
1st  of  July.  This  station,  like  the  others,  has  been  troubled  by 
cholera  and  quarantine,  interfering  with  their  missionary  tours,  and  yet 
they  have  an  unusual  success  to  record  that  is  most  gratifying.  The 
interesting  meetings  which  were  commenced  during  the  preceding 
year,  and  continued  through  the  month  of  January,  were  marked  by  a 
spirit  of  earnest  devotion.  Eight  members  were  added  to  the  church 
in  the  city  of  Tripoli.  In  the  Kubbeh  quarter  of  the  city  the  school- 
room proved  too  small  to  hold  all  who  wished  to  at-end  the  meetings 
which  were  being  held  at  the  close  of  the  year.  Several  inquirers  and 
candidates  for  admission  to  the  church,  are  giving  encouragement  of 
an  added  work  of  grace.  Much  gratification  is  expressed  in  the  com- 
pletion of  Talcott  Hall,  which  was  used  for  the  first  time  in  October. 
The  audiences  have  perceptibly  increased  since  a  better  place  of  meet- 
ing has  been  provided.  Mrs.  Nelson  and  Mrs.  Harris  have  held  wom- 
en's meetings,  which  were  well  attended  by  Greeks  as  well  as  Protest- 
ants.    "  Mrs.  Harris  has  also  visited  the  dispensary  to  improve  the  rare 


SYRIA — TRIPOLI.  26l 

opportunities  afforded  by  the  daily  gathering  of  women  of  all  sects  and 
from  all  parts  of  the  country.  Mrs.  March  conducts  a  weekly  woman's 
meeting  at  the  Mina.  The  influence  of  the  ladies  connected  with  the 
school  has  been  felt  for  good  in  all  departments  of  the  work.  We  have 
a  day-school  at  the  Kubbeh,  and  a  day-school  for  girls  at  the  Mina. 
About  four  hours  north  of  Tripoli  is  the  village  of  Minyara,  having  a 
population  of  about  one  thousand  souls,  mostly  of  the  Greek  Church. 
Regular  work  was  begun  there  six  years  ago  and  has  gone  rapidly  forward, 
there  being  now  a  church  of  66  members.  Special  meetings  were  held 
during  the  winter,  and  at  the  May  communion  17  persons  were  re- 
ceived to  the  church.  The  church  building,  the  original  cost  of  which 
was  less  than  $100,  has  been  enlarged  during  the  year,  about  one-third 
of  the  expense  being  borne  by  the  brethren,  but  it  was  scarcely  finished 
before  it  was  again  found  too  small.  At  the  last  communion  one  of 
the  two  Shiekhs  of  the  village  was  received  to  the  church.  The  people 
are  poor  and  simple-minded,  most  of  them  peasants,  camel  drivers,  and 
muleteers,  but  in  spiritual  things  earnest,  intelligent,  and  appreciative, 
— an  inspiration  to  the  preacher.  I  was  sitting  one  afternoon  with  a 
little  group  by  the  church  door  when  a  Moslem  came  along  selling  figs. 
They  at  once  attacked  him  with  so  much  earnestness  and  persistence 
and  such  cogent  arguments  that  the  Moslem  forgot  figs,  and  discussed 
with  them  these  weighty  themes  tor  two  hours.  As  soon  as  he  was 
gone,  they  turned  their  attention  to  a  Greek  who  happened  to  be  pass- 
ing, determined  that  they  would  not  let  him  go  until  he  should  promise 
then  and  there  to  give  up  his  sins  and  superstitions,  and  embrace  the 
truth.  During  the  year,  30  persons  have  been  received  to  the  Minyara 
church,  an  increase  of  a  hundred  per  cent." 

Mention  is  made  of  the  death  of  a  member  of  the  church  at 
Beino,  whose  history  is  singular.  Some  twenty-six  years  ago  he 
committed  murder  and  served  out  thirteen  years  of  imprisonment 
in  Tripoli,  at  the  close  of  which  time  he  became  a  paralytic  and  was 
released.  Five  years  ago  he  united  with  the  church,  living  as  a 
consistent  Christian.  Mr.  March  says  of  him,  "Those  thirteen  years 
were  a  struggle  with  disease  in  which  he  was  vanquished,  and  also 
a  struggle  with  sin  in  which  he  was  victor."  The  little  school  at 
Bazbina  costs  tour  dollars  a  month.  Its  prosperity  so  excited  the 
priest  that  he  took  measures  to  have  it  closed.  The  people  so 
thoroughly  appreciated  the  school  after  it  was  closed  that  three 
days  later  it  was  reopened  in  spite  of  the  priest  and  all  opposition. 
A  very  Large  village  near  by,  formerly  famous  for  its  bigotry  and 
intense  hatred  of  evangelical  Christianity,  has  been  so  influenced  by 
the  agitation  at  Bazbina  that  they  are  preparing  a  petition  to  the 
missionaries  for  a  school  in  their  town.  At  Safita,  a  day's  journey 
north  of  Tripoli,  we  have  two  flourishing  schools,  one  for  boys  and 
one  for  girls.  This  is  the  town  whose  history,  when  written,  will 
perhaps  furnish  more  records  of  Christian  heroism  than  any  other  in 
Syria.  Its  church  members  have  been  scattered  by  persecution  over 
different  parts  of  the  land,  and  yet  there  are  thirty-one  members  still 
holding  tlie  fort.  Other  outposts  in  that  region,  surrounded  very 
considerably  by  the  Nusaireeyeh,  are  doing  excellent  work  in  dis- 


262  SYRIA — TRIPOLI. 

seminating  the  Gospel  truths.  The  Husn  district,  mostly  occupied 
by  Greek  villages,  lies  like  a  wedge  inserted  in  the  Nusaireeyeh 
mountains.  One  of  our  most  flourishing  churches  in  this  district  is 
at  the  village  of  Amar,  lying  close  by  the  beautiful  Crusaders'  castle, 
which  gives  the  name  to  the  district.  It  is  one  of  the  five  outposts 
occupied  by  the  station  "  where  work  has  been  going  on  for  thirteen 
years,  and  where  there  are  thirty-eight  church  members,  of  whom 
nine  were  received  during  the  year.  There  is  a  school,  a  teacher, 
and  a  preacher.  The  people  are  remarkable  for  their  simple,  earnest 
piety.  During  the  greater  part  of  the  year  there  have  been  meetings 
every  evening,  with  an  attendance  ranging  from  50  to  100.  The  church 
building  is  filled  to  overflowing  every  Sunday.  Those  who  have  become 
Protestants  have  suffered  the  most  violent  persecution.  One  received 
at  the  last  communion,  on  being  asked  by  the  missionary  if  he  was 
married,  replied  :  '  Yes,  I  am  married,  but  my  wife  has  left  me  and 
taken  the  children  because  of  my  religion.'  Another  was  examined 
and  received,  but  at  the  hour  of  the  communion  service  was  seized 
by  father,  brother,  and  wife,  and  locked  up  in  his  own  house  until  the 
service  was  over.  Another,  having  wife  and  children,  but  still  living 
in  the  house  of  his  father,  was  turned  out  with  his  family,  and  they 
were  obliged  for  a  time  to  sleep  upon  the  ground  in  the  open  air. 
An  Amar  Greek  was  complaining  to  a  friend  of  another  village  of 
the  rapid  growth  of.  the  Protestants.  'Why  don't  you  persecute 
them  ? '  said  the  friend.  '  We  have,'  said  the  other  ;  '  and  I  believe 
it  is  the  persecution  that  has  made  them  grow.' 

"  At  the  last  communion  at  Amar,  a  man  from  Kaimeh  was  re- 
ceived, the  first  from  that  place.  We  have  had  no  school  or  native 
helper  there  for  six  years.  He  at  first  professed  to  be  a  Protestant, 
that  he  might  marry  the  sister  of  his  brother's  wife,  which  is  for- 
bidden in  the  Greek  Church.  He  went  to  Hums  with  forged  letters 
and  testimonials,  and  succeeded  in  gaining  the  confidence  of  Rev. 
Yusef  Beder,  pastor  of  our  church,  and  was  married  by  him.  This 
led  to  an  acquaintance  with  the  Protestants  and  their  doctrine,  and 
eventually  he  became  a  Protestant  in  truth.  He  belongs  to  the 
famous  family  of  Sheikhs,  whose  ancestor,  Jahjah,  was  ruler  of  that 
region,  and  whose  fundamental  principle  it  is  that  they  cannot  work. 
They  may  beg  or  steal,  but  work  never.  The  first  practical  result 
of  our  brother's  conversion  was  that  he  learned  the  trade  of  a  shoe- 
maker, and  he  now  supports  himself  and  his  family  and  defends  his 
new  faith  with  zeal  and  unflinching  courage." 

In  the  city  of  Hums  there  are  now  80  members  in  the  church. 
It  was  organized  in  1866  with  8  members.  The  congregations  have 
increased  to  such  an  extent  that  an  enlargement  of  the  building  is 
necessary,  but  it  is  a  very  serious  question  how  that  can  be  accom- 
plished, owing  to  the  almost  prohibitory  rules  of  the  Turkish  Govern- 
ment with  reference  to  the  repairing  of  church  property.  A  large 
number  of  young  men  have  lately  come  into  the  church,  who  show 
an  excellent  spirit  and  are  especially  interested  in  doing  missionary 
work  in  the  surrounding  towns,  many  of  whose  inhabitants  have 
become  enlightened.    One  of  the  Hums  young  men  is  paying  a  part 


SYRIA— TRIPOLI.  263 

of  the  expense  of  the  education  of  a  boy  in  the  Sidon  Academy, 
that  he  may  be  prepared  to  go  back  eventually  as  a  teacher  at  his 
native  village  of  Feiruzi.  After  the  long  and  serious  opposition  of 
the  Government  to  our  work  in  the  large  city  of  Hamath,  our  school 
has  again  been  reopened  by  a  special  Vizienal  order  to  that  effect. 
There  are  80  pupils  in  the  school,  and  while  there  are  but  20  mem- 
bers in  the  church,  it  is  a  living  church  and  it  is  sure  to  grow,  and 
the  hope  is  that  in  that  large  Moslem  city  we  may  yet  see  many 
souls  saved. 

In  Mahardeh,  which  lies  about  twelve  miles  northeast  of 
Hamath,  we  have  also  a  school  and  a  flourishing  church.  The 
services  are  held  in  the  preacher's  house,  the  people  sitting 
upon  the  floor,  a  solid  mass  of  human  beings,  and  many  more 
gathered  in  the  yard  and  about  the  door  and  the  one  window, 
unable  to  get  in,  but  trying  to  hear  the  truth.  Mahardeh 
may  be  classed  with  Minyareh  and  Amar  for  simple,  earnest 
piety,  and  with  Safita  for  heroic  endurance  of  persecutions 
through  a  series  of  years  that  has  made  the  people  appreciate 
the  Gospel  religion  as  few  in  other  countries  more  enlightened 
are  able  to  do. 

In  the  Lebanon  district  of  the  Tripoli  Station  there  are  7 
outposts  which  have  been,  like  other  parts  of  the  mountain, 
quite  seriously  affected  by  the  spirit  of  emigration.  Mr.  March, 
in  speaking  of  this,  says  :  "  It  requires  as  much  of  a  spirit  of 
consecration  and  self-denial  in  a  Syrian  now  to  remain  at  home 
and  preach  to  his  fellow-countrymen  as  it  does  in  an  American 
to  leave  his  country  and  come  to  Syria." 

The  medical  work  done  by  Dr.  Harris  is  far-reaching  and  effi- 
cacious, both  to  body  and  soul.  During  the  year  he  has  treated 
about  3,000  cases,  and  performed  420  surgical  operations.  These 
operations  have  been  less  than  usual,  owing  to  the  quarantine 
restrictions  that  prevented  a  large  number  of  people  from  com- 
ing to  get  his  beneficent  aid.  He  holds  a  religious  service  every 
day  at  his  dispensary,  which  is  attended  both  by  Moslem  and 
nominal  Christian,  before  the  medical  work  is  begun.  Many 
copies  of  the  Scriptures  and  of  tracts  have  been  distributed. 
Texts  of  Scripture  are  printed  on  all  the  prescription  papers, 
hoping  that  the  simple  words  may  attract  the  attention  of  some 
who  would  not  otherwise  see  or  hear  them.  Dr.  Harris  has  been 
able  to  visit  many  regions  of  the  country  where  the  missionary, 
without  the  doctor,  would  find  no  welcome.  The  bigoted  Mar- 
onite  and  the  strange  Nuseireeyeh  welcome  the  physician  and 
will  receive  from  his  lips  or  from  those  who  accompany  him 
words  that  they  will  not  listen  to  under  any  other  circum- 
stances. The  distribution  of  religious  literature  from  the  book- 
store is  gratifying.  Sales  have  been  made  to  the  amount  of 
$656.  Sixty-eight  members  have  been  added  to  the  church  in 
the  station.  It  is  the  largest  addition  in  all  its  history.  It  is 
an  encouragement  that  gives  us  reason  to  hope  for  even  better 
things  in  the  future. 


264  SYRIA — ZAIILEH. 

Zahleh. 

The  work  of  the  Zahleh  Station  lies  on  the  western  side  of 
Lebanon  and  in  the  great  plain  of  Celo-Syria.  A  cloud  of  sor- 
row came  to  the  family  of  Mr.  Hoskins  when  their  infant  son 
that  had  a  few  weeks  earlier  been  given  to  them  was  taken 
away.  During  the  year  three  little  Zahleh  children,  one  from 
America,  from  Mr.  Greenlee's  family,  one  from  Beirut,  Ger- 
aldine  Dale,  together  with  this  one  from  Mr.  Hoskins'  family, 
"  have  gone  to  swell  the  infant  chorus  around  God's  throne." 

Rev.  Wm.  Jessup  has  made  marked  progress  in  the  acquisi- 
tion of  the  language,  and  has  passed  successfully  his  first  year's 
examination.  It  has  been  difficult  in  the  city  of  Zahleh  to  find 
proper  houses  for  the  missionaries,  and  it  is  very  desirable  that 
such  houses  be  provided  for  them  as  will  insure  the  preserva- 
tion of  their  health,  and  it  is  for  that  reason  that  funds  are 
needed  to  enable  the  mission  to  build  suitable  dwellings. 

Perhaps  no  part  of  the  mission  has  been  so  seriously  affected 
by  emigration  as  Zahleh.  Mr.  Hoskins  says:  "  Emigration, 
like  a  mighty  leaven,  is  stirring  every  village  and  hamlet  in 
our  field.  The  people  are  all  in  motion,  and  no  one  seems 
willing  to  remain  who  can  by  hook  or  by  crook  get  money 
enough  to  carry  him  over  the  seas.  The  modern  Syrians  bid 
fair  to  rival  their  ancient  ancestors,  the  Phoenicians  and  the 
Jews.  There  are  men,  women,  and  children  from  Zahleh  in 
every  large  city  of  the  New  World,  in  Australia,  and  in  the 
islands  of  the  sea.  The  stories  of  their  experiences  will  make 
a  strange  chapter  in  the  history  of  Modern  Syria.  They  have 
crossed  the  United  States  from  East  to  West,  and  from  North 
to  South  ;  they  have  journeyed  by  land  from  Rio  Janeiro  to 
Montreal  and  Quebec  ;  they  have  traversed  the  Pacific  Ocean 
from  island  to  island  in  small  boats,  and  not  a  few  have  circled 
the  world,  and  have  come  home  by  way  of  Jerusalem.  The 
letters  they  send,  the  stories  they  tell,  the  money  they  bring, 
are  adding  momentum  to  a  movement  that  must  ultimately 
affect  this  part  of  the  world  more  profoundly  than  ever  the 
Crusades  did.  This  swelling  spirit  of  unrest  could  not  but 
reach  and  affect  our  teachers  and  workers,  and  during  the  year 
we  lost  nearly  a  dozen.  In  the  ship  which  carried  Rev.  W.  K. 
Eddy  and  family  from  Beirut,  sailed  nine  young  men,  some 
seven  of  whom  had  been  teachers  in  the  employ  of  the  mission, 
and  the  remaining  two  had  been  pupils  in  Sidon  Academy. 
To  us  American  workers  it  has  been  a  real  trial  of  faith,  but 
already  we  can  trace  the  hand  of  God  who  certainly  will  over- 
rule it  all  for  good.  Some  of  the  compensations  are  becoming 
more  prominent.  Nearly  all  who  now  come  back  have  out- 
wardly improved.  There  is  less  lying  and  cursing  among  them. 
Then  we  hear  nothing  but  the  most  unstinted  praise  of  Amer- 
ica and  of  Anglo-Saxon  institutions." 
I    The  foolish  prejudices  and  fanaticism  that  formerly  existed 


SYRIA — ZAHLEH.  265 

in  the  minds  of  this  people  are  quite  broken  down,  so  that 
to-day  he  would  be  a  foolish  priest  in  these  parts  who  would 
presume  to  abuse  America  and  Americans,  that  land  and  that 
people  so  honored  and  esteemed  by  the  oppressed  and  ignorant 
Arab.  "Thousands  and  thousands  of  times  we  hear  blessings 
showered  upon  our  heads  and  upon  our  loved  native  land. 
Not  long  ago  a  great  big  burly  man  in  the  market  at  Zahleh 
said  in  a  loud  voice  that  he  felt  like  getting  down  and  kissing 
the  ground  pressed  by  an  American  foot."  One  emigrant  from 
the  Zahleh  church  promised  to  give  a  tithe  of  his  success  to 
the  church.  He  has  already  fulfilled  that  promise  by  sending 
about  $110  back  for  this  purpose. 

A  very  serious  difficulty  in  the  work  of  this  station  was  the 
cholera  cordon  which  brought  disaster  to  the  people  and  pre- 
vented the  missionaries  from  travelling  in  their  field.  At  one 
time  the  military  cordon  extended  between  the  city  and  the 
fields  of  the  people  at  the  time  of  the  gathering  of  the  grapes, 
and  there  were  frequent  conflicts  resulting  in  serious  injuries 
to  both  people  and  soldiers,  so  that  the  Governor  was  com- 
pelled to  change  the  location  of  the  soldiers.  There  is,  how- 
ever, encouragement  in  the  different  outposts  of  the  station. 

J-lt' it  Shama  has  been  re-occupied,  making  the  number  of  out- 
posts 17.  Kob  Elias  is  in  great  need  of  a  building.  The  boys' 
school  alone  numbers  no,  and  is  the  best  organized  in  all  the 
fields.  The  Board  owns  the  site  on  which  stands  the  roofless 
building,  but  the  Government  seems  determined  that  we  shall 
have  nothing  more.  In  nearly  all  the  outstations  there  is 
manifest  improvement  despite  the  intense  activity  of  the  Jesu- 
its to  thwart  our  endeavors  to  give  the  people  the  Gospel.  At 
Sughbtn,  where  one  of  the  church  members  died,  the  Jesuits 
falsely  reported  that  it  was  from  cholera,  in  order  to  be  re- 
venged upon  the  people  for  harboring  the  Protestants  there, 
causing  great  expense  and  annoyance  to  the  people,  and  pre- 
venting the  family  from  interring  in  their  own  cemetery. 

Petitions  have  come  from  five  villages  begging  for  schools, 
but  lack  of  funds  has  compelled  the  station  to  turn  a  deaf  ear 
to  these  requests.  "The  American  fever"  caused  a  loss  to  the 
station  of  two  licensed  preachers,  one  of  whom,  however,  has 
been  gained  for  the  work  among  the  Syrians  in  Chicago. 
Death  has  carried  away  two  of  the  oldest  workers  from  the 
field  :  they  died  in  full  faith  in  Him  whose  name  they  had 
been  permitted  to  proclaim  for  nearly  thirty-five  years.  Temp- 
tation to  emigrate  came  very  strongly  to  another  licentiate. 
"  He  laid  the  matter  before  the  Lord,"  says  Mr.  Hoskins, 
"  thought  long  upon  it,  and  a  few  days  ago  came  to  our  house 
with  the  joyful  confession  that  he  had  been  led  to  make  a  new 
consecration,  and  there  in  our  presence  in  a  touching  prayer 
he  promised  God  not  to  leave  the  work,  but  to  give  his  life  to 
preaching  the  Gospel  to  the  poor  in  Syria." 

The  friendly  relations  of  missionaries  and  people  are  well  ex-

pressed  in  the  following  paragraphs  from  the  report,  illustrat- 
ing how  much  time  must  be  devoted  to  this  kind  of  work: 
"  Those  who  have  lived  in  Zahleh  can  appreciate  references  to 
callers,  since  this  is  one  of  the  prominent  features  of  the  work 
there.  Remembering  David's  sin  in  numbering  the  people  we 
have  refrained  from  keeping  account,  but  they  must  run  into 
the  thousands.  They  come  early  and  often  and  they  stay  long. 
It  is  a  kind  of  wrork  that  offers  special  opportunities  and  also 
requires  much  tact  and  patience.  Some  whom  we  recall  with 
a  sigh  honored  us  with  their  presence  for  seven  hours  at  a  single 
sitting.  While  the  cordon  lasted  we  had  a  little  respite,  but 
since  it  lifted  there  have  hardly  been  three  consecutive  hours 
of  daylight  without  somebody  coming.  On  feast  days  they 
take  our  whole  time  and  often  occupy  two  rooms.  They  come 
from  all  the  sects,  and  among  them  this  year  were  the  Greek 
Bishop  and  one  of  his  priests.  All  the  teachers  in  the  Greek 
schools  come  regularly,  and  of  all  the  people  only  the  Jesuits 
and  the  Catholics  and  the  Maronite  ecclesiastics  hold  aloof. 
Among  our  more  formal  visitors  are  the  Christian  Government 
officials  of  Zahleh,  and  the  Moslem  officials  of  Muallaka.  We 
mention  it  with  gratitude  that  we  receive  only  kindness  and 
politeness  from  the  great  majority  of  the  people." 

The  relations  of  the  work  to  the  Government  are  still  some- 
what critical,  yet  there  has  been  no  direct  Government  inter- 
ference. "In  1889  officers  visited  all  the  schools,  asking  many 
questions  about  the  pupils,  the  various  sects  represented,  the 
teachers,  and  the  control  of  the  schools.  Now  again  near  the 
close  of  1891  come  telegraphic  orders  from  Damascus  directing 
the  police  to  make  a  new  list  of  all  the  schools  and  churches 
of  all  the  sects,  with  special  inquiries  as  to  where  we  own  prop- 
erty, when  we  opened,  when  we  have  changed  a  house  into  a 
school  or  church,  and  most  particularly  about  the  existence  of 
a  firman  for  each  school.  In  May  we  applied  to  the  Muallaka 
Government  for  permits  to  repair  the  roof  in  Jedeitha,  and 
to  make  some  improvements  in  Sughbin.  At  the  same  time 
we  began  to  gather  stones  and  lumber  so  as  to  be  ready  to 
push  forward  with  the  work,  since  the  roofs  in  both  places  are 
positively  dangerous.  Preparations  in  Sughbin  raised  a  storm 
and  dozens  of  lying  letters  were  written  to  Muallaka  saying 
the  Americans  were  building  without  permission.  Horsemen 
went  down  to  stop  operations  and  found  nothing  but  some 
roughly  quarried  stone.  Later  on  the  Kaimmakam  visited  the 
place  personally  and  after  great  delay  he  informed  us  that  the 
matter  must  go  to  Constantinople  with  drawings,  etc.  We  did 
not  accept  this,  but  in  September  went  to  Damascus,  and  the 
Waly  assured  us  that  the  power  to  grant  permits  such  as  we 
needed  rested  in  Damascus.  He  promised  to  issue  such  orders 
at  once.  He  did  so,  but  some  lower  official  raised  objections 
and  thus  shelved  the  matter.  Then  came  the  cholera,  and  later 
on  the  death  of  the  good  Waly,  and  on  return  of  the  dragoman 


SYRIA — ZAHLEH.  267 

to  Damascus,  neither  the  petitions  nor  the  orders  could  be 
found,  and  so  the  rains  and  the  snows  beat  for  another  winter 
on  the  rotten  roofs.  It  is  harder  to  bear  coupled  with  the  fact 
that  everybody  about  the  Government,  high  and  low,  hints  that 
the  matter  cannot  go  through  without  money  to  this  official 
and  that.  The  Kob  Elias  building  must  wait  until  we  have 
Jedeitha  and  Sughbin  out  of  the  way." 

There  has  been  a  net  gain  of  12  per  cent,  in  the  attendance 
upon  the  school.  The  Moslem  pupils  have  increased  66  per 
cent.,  and  they  are  among  the  best  students,  and  the  most 
regular  in  their  studies  of  Bible  lessons,  catechisms,  and  attend- 
ance on  prayers,  and  have  also  taken  the  prizes  for  memorizing 
the  Shorter  Catechisms.  "  Many  villages  where  we  have  no 
schools  now,  send  pupils  to  the  villages  where  schools  are  in 
operation.  In  Tullya,  at  the  present  time,  are  two  Metawali 
boys  from  the  robber  village  of  Bretagne.  These  little  fellows, 
in  order  to  learn  reading  and  writing,  have  brought  beds,  and 
are  sleeping  in  the  school-room,  their  parents  sending  them 
cooked  food  once  or  twice  every  week.  We  charged  the  teacher 
to  be  sure  to  take  them  through  the  Gospel  of  John." 

The  need  of  additional  means  for  carrying  on  the  work  is  re- 
ferred to  in  the  following  paragraphs:  "With  increased  ex- 
penditure and  better  facilities  we  could  easily  advance  upon  this 
year's  record  in  common-school  work.  What  has  been  accom- 
plished has  been  in  the  face  of  increasing  competition,  and 
with  the  most  primitive  appliances  and  accommodations.  In 
all  but  5  of  our  18  centres  the  other  sects  have  established 
schools.  The  Moslem  Government  in  Baalbec  opened  schools 
for  both  boys  and  girls.  In  12  centres  the  Jesuits  have  fol- 
lowed us,  opening  schools,  giving  books,  pencils,  and  everything 
but  good  teaching,  free.  So,  all  are  now  in  the  race  for  the 
children — Moslems,  Greeks,  Catholics,  Maronites,  and  Jesuits. 
It  must  be  remembered  that  our  schools  are  the  only  ones  in 
which  the  sects  can  be  induced  to  mingle.  One  of  the  Jesuit 
Fathers,  in  Zahleh,  recently  visited  a  Greek  priest,  a  friend  of 
ours,  and  after  presenting  him  with  some  books  and  some  fine 
snuff,  urged  him  to  use  his  influence  to  keep  children  out  of 
our  Protestant  school.  The  priest  showed  me  the  books, 
praised  the  snuff,  but  there  is  little  prospect  of  his  disturbing 
our  scholars.  The  Jesuits  can  always  rouse  the  ignorant 
Maronites  against  us  and  our  work.  The  Catholics  need  no 
urging."  In  thTs  station,  as  in  the  Sidon  station,  reference  is 
made  to  the  intense  animosity  of  the  Papists,  and  the  means 
they  use  for  injuring  Protestants,  and  thwarting  evangelical 
work.  And  yet  our  missionaries  have  been  able  to  continue 
their  successful  work.  Mr.  Hoskins  says  :  "  We  have  thus  far 
distanced  all  other  schools  by  consecnity.  When  the  mission 
enters  a  place,  it  enters  it  to  stay,  and  the  people  know  this. 
We  furnish  also  a  better  class  of  teachers,  and  have  a  regularly 
graded  system,  but  we  need  something  more.     The  necessity  of 


268  SYRIA — ZAHLEH. 

moving  from  house  to  house,  apart  from  the  constant  worry 
and  trouble  of  hiring,  is  a  great  injury,  and  we  ought  to  have 
permanent  quarters  in  Zahleh  City.  The  contrast  in  town  at 
present  would  be  ludicrous,  were  it  not  a  matter  of  sincere 
pain.  The  Catholics  have  a  huge  place  for  the  schools  in  con- 
nection with  the  largest  church.  Near  by  the  Jesuits  have  an 
imposing  building,  that  must  have  cost  $15,000.  The  Greeks 
are  planning  for  a  permanent  boarding-school,  while  we  are 
in  a  wretched  hired  house,  for  which  we  pay  twenty-seven  dollars 
yearly  !  The  number  of  our  scholars  is  such  that  we  cannot 
find  a  house  suitable,  and  the  matter  of  hiring  in  the  face  of  so 
much  priestly  opposition  is  a  worry  that  we  could  be  well 
spared.  At  present,  we  could  have  double  the  attendance  had 
we  a  decent  place  in  which  to  put  the  scholars.  The  demand 
for  English,  and  our  ability  to  give  the  best  teaching,  is  a  prov- 
idence that  we  cannot  lightly  ignore.  No  child  enters  our 
schools  without  taking  all  the  studies,  and,  as  a  general  rule, 
English  is  taught  in  the  afternoons  only,  thereby  securing  an 
all-day  attendance.  Our  two  Zahleh  schools  reach  a  total  of 
nearly  200,  and  with  suitable  accommodations  we  can  double 
the  number."  Mr.  Hoskins  adds  :  "We  wish,  therefore,  to  call 
the  attention  of  the  Church  again  to  the  vote  of  the  mission, 
taken  three  years  ago,  asking  that  Zahleh  station  be  granted 
$2,000,  to  provide  permanent  quarters  for  the  high-school." 

The  church  work  and  preaching  press  very  heavily  upon  the 
comparatively  new  missionaries,  inasmuch  as  they  feel  it  neces- 
sary to  give  a  considerable  portion  of  their  time  to  the  study 
of  the  language,  a  matter  of  the  highest  importance  for  their 
future  usefulness.  They  have,  however,  been  constantly  visit- 
ing among  their  outstations,  putting  in  seed  wherever  an  op- 
portunity occurred. 

The  Zahleh  City  church  presents  a  curious  roll  of  members. 
It  numbers  127  ;  40  of  them  are  absent,  though  living  in  Syria, 
mostly  employed  as  teachers  and  preachers;  5  are  in  Australia, 
7  in  Egypt,  and  26  in  America,  leaving  but  49  on  the  ground. 
This  will  illustrate  somewhat  the  wide  extent  of  influence  of 
the  members  of  the  Zahleh  City  church.  Yet  the  church  has 
done  well  in  its  contributions,  giving  an  average  of  two  dollars 
a  member  for  those  living  within  the  field.  In  order  to  some- 
what supplement  the  power  of  the  missionaries  as  preachers  of 
the  Gospel,  while  they  are  becoming  more  familiar  with  the 
language,  they  have  distributed  from  house  to  frouse  a  thousand 
of  Mr.  Spurgeon's  Christmas  sermons,  hoping  to  distribute 
other  sermons  as  means  are  provided  them  for  doing  so.  Many 
villages  are  visited  by  the  native  helpers  and  colporteurs  where 
there  are  no  schools,  scattering  the  seed  broadcast,  in  the  hope 
of  an  abundant  harvest  ere  long.  The  Sabbath-school  work  is 
most  encouraging  in  all  the  borders  of  the  station.  The  mis- 
sionaries feel  the  growing  responsibility  which  rests  upon  them. 
Their  hope  for  the  future  is  very  bright. 


SYRIA — ITS    NEEDS.  269 

The  statistical  tables  at  the  close  of  this  report  are  of  great 
interest,  showing  as  they  do  the  continuous  growth  from  year 
to  year.  It  is  most  instructive  to  compare  the  earlier  years 
with  the  later  years  of  mission  life  and  work,  and  there  is  rea- 
sonable hope  to  expect  that  the  ratio  of  increase  will  grow  as 
the  years  go  on. 

Three  things  should  be  noticed  in  concluding  the  report  of 
this  mission,  growing  out  of  a  careful  study  of  what  has  been 
sent  from  the  field  during  the  year.  There  is  need  of,  first, 
more  funds  for  enlarging  the  work  ;  second,  a  reinforcement  of 
the  missionary  staff  ;  and  third,  and  the  most  important,  a  care- 
ful and  prayerful  study  by  the  Church  of  the  work  it  has  com- 
missioned the  missionaries  to  do  in  the  Master's  name.

SEVENTY-THIRD  ANNUAL  REPORT. 


Grateful  to  God  for  mercies  manifold  during  the  past  year  the 
Board  of  Education  respectfully  presents  to  the  General  Assembly  its 
Seventy-third  Report.  The  only  change  that  has  occured  in  its  mem- 
bership was  occasioned  by  the  resignation  of  Samuel  B.  Huey,  Esq., 
and  the  election  of  John  W.  Patton,  Esq.,  to  fill  his  place  in  the  term 
of  service  which  expires  this  year.  Rudolph  M.  Schick,  Esq.,  was 
also  elected  in  place  of  William  Wood  who  was  appointed  by  the 
Assembly  last  year  but  declined  to  serve.  It  is  recommended  that 
these  elections  be  approved  by  the  Assembly. 

All  the  officers  of  the  Board  were  continued  the  same  as  last  year, 
viz.:  Rev.  George  D.  Baker,  D.  D.,  President;  Rev.  James  M.  Crowell, 
D.  D.,  Vice  President;  Rev.  D.  W.  Poor,  Corresponding  Secretary  ; 
and  Jacob  Wilson,  Treasurer. 

SPECIAL    ARRANGEMENTS. 

At  the  beginning  of  the  year  it  seemed  advisable,  first  of  all,  to 
take  the  financial  condition  into  special  consideration,  and  to  devise 
some  suitable  method  for  extinguishing  the  debt  of  $16,000  which  lay 
over  from  the  two  previous  years.  Accordingly  a  committee  was 
appointed  for  this  purpose,  and  after  due  deliberation  upon  its  recom- 
mendations, it  was  resolved, 

1.  That  for  this  the  current  fiscal  year  the  appropriations  be 
reduced  on  such  a  basis  that  the  grade  of  students  heretofore  receiving 
$100  shall  receive  $80,  and  the  grade  receiving  $80  shall  receive  $70 
per  annum. 

2.  That  at  the  end  of  the  present  fiscal  year,  if  the  state  of  the 
Treasury  will  permit  it,  there  shall  be  an  appropriation  to  each  student 
such  as  to  make  the  total  amount  received  by  him  during  the  fiscal 
year  as  nearly  as  possible  equal  to  the  full  yearly  appropriation  at  the 
existing  rate. 

3.  That  diligent  effort  be  made  to  drop  from  the  roll  of  benefici- 
aries any  students  who  may  be  found  able  to  dispense  with  aid,  and  to 
this  end  the  co-operation  of  such  beneficiaries  is  earnestly  invited. 

As  a  rule  also  it  was  determined  to  decline  the  recommendations 
of  all  such  as  are  denominated  "special  cases"  i.  e.,  those  who  are 
intending  to  take  only  a  partial  course  of  study,  and  those  who  are  in 
the  Academic  Department,  (the  colored  students  excepted)  save  where 
extraordinary  reasons  were  presented  for  their  acceptance.

Notwithstanding  the  limitations  thus  put  on  the  reception  of 
candidates  at  the  beginning  of  the  year,  it  is  found  at  the  close  that 
the  number  accepted  within  our  rule  is  only  eleven  less  than  that  reported 
last  year,  being  in  all  858.  The  applicants  declined  count  58.  Of 
course  it  must  be  understood  that  many  more  candidates  would 
have  applied,  had  they  not  been  deterred  by  a  knowledge  of  the 
restrictions  resolved  upon.  Some  of  these,  it  is  to  be  feared,  have 
been  lost  to  our  ministry.  Certain  intimations  received  however 
render  it  proper  to  suggest  in  this  connection  that  Presbyteries  and 
Presbyterial  Committees  be  urged  to  greater  strictness  in  ascertaining 
the  actual  need  of  aid,  and  the  real  merits  of  those  whom  they  recom- 
mend to  the  Board.  Those  who  have  enough  of  their  own  for  their 
education,  should  not  be  indulged  in  a  surplus  that  might  go  to  relieve 
the  absolute  necessities  of  others.  Our  condition  requires  the  closest 
economy  in  all  parties  concerned. 

FINANCIAL    CONDITION. 

In  the  matter  of  finances,  the  Board  is  happy  to  report  a  decided 
improvement.  Owing  in  part  to  the  above  mentioned  arrangements, 
and  in  part  to  the  more  liberal  responses  from  the  churches  in  answer 
to  the  numerous  appeals  sent  out  to  them  individually,*  it  has  been  able 
to  reduce  the  debt  of  $16,000  to  $7,000,  and  at  the  same  time  to  increase 
the  amount  promised  on  the  scholarships  by  an  addition  of  $10  apiece. 
This  addition,  small  as  it  is,  has  given  great  relief  to  many  of  our  candi- 
dates who  had  been  sorely  pinched  by  the  first  curtailment,  but  who 
have  cheerfully  borne  the  privation  for  the  benefit  of  the  general  cause. 

Now  if  ministers  and  sessions  will  continue  to  impress  upon  their 
churches  the  fundamental  importance  of  the  work  of  this  Board  to 
every  interest  of  the  Church,  and  will  labor  to  remove  the  fallacious 
objections  which  a  superficial  observation  suggests  against  it,  there 
will  be  no  difficulty  in  its  taking  under  its  care  all  the  young  men  who 
seem  called  of  Christ  to  preach  His  Gospel,  but  have  not  the  means  to 
fit  themselves  for  the  service.  Moreover,  let  there  be  no  hesitation 
about  asking  weak  churches  to  contribute  because  of  the  smallness  of 
the  collection  that  might  be  taken  up.  The  treasurer  has  given  a 
"  receipt  with  thanks"  for  all  sums  however  small  that  have  been  sent 
in;  and  these  have  helped  to  swell  the  total  considerably.  Small  begin- 
nings also  often  start  an  interest  that  results  in  large  benefits.  The 
chief  thing  is  to  present  the  cause  and  make  the  people  feel  its  import- 
ance enough  to  give  something  toward  it.     Mention  also  should  be- 


*  132  more  contributing  churches  than  the  number  reported  last  year. 


made  of  the  fact  that  a  number  of  our  Pastors,  deeply  convinced  of  the 
necessity  of  keeping  this  Board  well  furnished  for  its  work,  have  stirred 
their  churches  up  to  double  their  contributions  to  it.  A  grateful 
recognition  should  also  be  made  of  the  faithful  services  of  many  church 
sessions  and  also  of  Presbyterial  Committees  who  have  taken  special 
pains,  even  at  their  own  expense,  by  writing  letters  and  otherwise  to 
remind  backward  churches  of  their  duty  to  us. 

Another  source  of  help  has  come  from  what  has  been  called  a 

GRATITUDE    FUND. 

Early  in  the  year,  on  learning  the  state  of  the  Board's  treasury,  a 
movement  was  started  by  the  Rev.  W.  C.  Covert,  of  St.  Paul  Park, 
Minnesota,  for  what  is  called  a  "Gratitude  Fund,"  made  up  of 
voluntary  contributions  from  those  who  have  been  aided  by  the 
Board  in  the  course  of  their  education,  in  order  to  help  in  lifting  it  out 
of  its  present  embarrassments.  In  this  movement  the  Board  declined 
to  take  any  part,  even  by  way  of  official  approval.  But  of  course  it 
was  glad  to  accept  any  offerings  of  the  kind  when  freely  tendered. 
Appeals  were  accordingly  sent  out  by  Committees  chosen  from  among 
the  graduates  of  our  Theological  Seminaries  to  their  fellow  alumni 
beneficiaries;  and  these,  it  is  a  pleasure  to  state,  have  met  with  gen- 
erous responses.  A  large  number  of  letters  have  been  received  by  the 
Treasurer  containing  donations  of  various  amounts  and  accompanied 
with  pleasing  acknowledgments  of  their  indebtedness  to  the  Board 
and  of  the  pleasure  felt  in  testifying  of  the  same.  The  sum  thus 
contributed  amounts  to  $1,571.32  for  which  our  hearty  thanks  are  due. 

THE  GREAT  DEMAND. 

After  deducting  from  the  whole  number  of  churches  on  our  list 
those  in  our  Foreign  Mission  fields,  which  amount  in  all  to  169,  there 
remain  as  belonging  within  our  own  country's  limits  6901  churches  of 
every  size,  large  and  small.  For  taking  care  of  these  churches  we 
find,  after  deducting  from  the  whole  number  of  ministers  on  the  roll 
the  338  Foreign  Missionaries  and  the  356  engaged  as  Presidents, 
Professors,  Editors,  Teachers  and  the  like,  also  the  403  who  are 
Honorably  Retired,  who  can  not  be  counted  on  for  regular  church 
work,  that  there  are  in  all  51 19  who  are  marked  as  Pastors,  Stated 
Supplies,  Home  Missionaries,  and  Missionaries  of  various  other  desig- 
nations, besides  930  who  are  unemployed.  How  many  of  the  latter 
class  can  be  counted  upon  for  regular  service,  it  is  impossible  to  tell 
exactly.  The  usual  estimate  is  about  one-half.  So  that  for  ministering 
to  our  6901  churches  we  can  rely  upon  only  about  4654  ordained  men. 


It  is  not  surprising,  therefore,  that  1183  churches  should  be  marked 
vacant.  True  it  is  that  many  of  these  are  too  weak  to  support  a 
Pastor,  and  several  of  them  are  cared  for  occasionally  by  the  Presby- 
terial  Missionaries.  Yet  after  making  all  proper  allowances  it  must 
be  said  that  the  surplus  of  vacant  churches  is  altogether  too  large  for 
the  healthy  condition  of  our  ecclesiastical  body.  No  one  can  run  his 
eye  over  our  statistical  reports  and  see  the  long  lists  of  churches  ap- 
pended to  many  of  our  Presbyteries  and  marked  with  a  "V,"  and  not 
perceive  that  in  the  matter  of  Gospel  ministration  there  is  a  sad  defi- 
ciency either  of  preachers  or  of  endeavor  to  obtain  them  on  the  part 
of  the  authorities  ifi  charge.     Which  is  it  ? 

In  addition  to  the  already  existing  vacancies  it  must  be  remem- 
bered that  we  have  a  constant  accession  to  the  number  of  our  churches 
averaging  for  the  last  five  years  not  less  than  144  annually.  These, 
too,  must  be  provided  for.  Nor  should  we  leave  out  of  the  account 
the  constant  demand  for  men  by  the  Foreign  Mission  Board. 

supplies. 
To  meet  this  demand  our  Seminaries  graduated  this  year  228 
candidates,  all  of  whom,  however,  can  not  be  counted  on  for  our  sup- 
plies. A  few  of  them  will  go  to  other  denominations  to  which  they 
belong.  A  number  more  are  already  on  call  for  the  Foreign 
service.  Some  also  may  prove  unavailable.  The  remainder,  which  we 
will  put  at  200,  will  go  to  take  charge  of  our  vacancies  and  new 
churches,  and  also  to  fill  the  places  of  the  166  who  were  removed  from 
our  ranks  by  death  and  dismissal  last  year.  To  help  out  these  inade- 
quate supplies  from  our  Seminaries  we  called  in  from  other  denomi- 
nations not  less  than  90  ordained  men,  besides  ordaining  several  who 
did  not  enjoy  a  liberal  education,  but  of  whom  we  have  no  full  record. 
Then  there  are  the  well-nigh  500  unemployed  ministers  mentioned 
above  who  might  be  utilized  if  there  were  any  available  method  of 
placing  them  in  the  fields  which  they  could  cultivate.  In  the  lack  of 
such  a  method  we  notice  one  of  the  chief  defects  in  our  church  admin- 
istration, and  one  which  is  hindering  contributions  to  this  Board. 
People  ask  :  What  is  the  need  of  our  trying  to  raise  up  more  ministers 
when  we  have  so  many  that  are  not  improved  for  the  edification  of 
the  Church  ?  The  best  reply  which  the  Board  has  to  make  is  that  it 
is  responsible  for  only  a  small  proportion  of  the  unemployed  men,  that  a 
large  proportion  of  those  whom  it  has  helped  to  a  thorough  training 
for  their  work  are  occupying  positions  of  active  and  useful  service  both 
at  home  and  abroad.  This  will  be  seen  in  the  following  list  of  its 
beneficiaries.

Of  the  present  Roll  of  6,223  Ministers,  2,489  were  aided  by  the

Do  not  the  fruits  of  this  Board  justify  its  support? 

Ninety-seven  per  cent,  of  the  average  amount  expended  each  year 
in  aiding  students  from  1870  to  1888  has  been  invested  in  men  who 
have  entered  the  ministry. 

OUR  WORK  AMONG  THE  GERMANS 

Not  the  least  important  branch  of  our  work  is  that  of  helping  to 
raise  up  ministers  for  this  most  influential  portion  of  our  immigrant 
population  and  thereby  assimilating  them  with  us.  Through  the 
labors  of  these  ministers  largely  trained  by  aid  of  the  Board  in  two  insti- 
tutions, one  in  Dubuque  and  the  other  in  Bloomheld,  N.  J.,  there 
are  now  in  connection  with  our  body  about  160  German  churches 
several  of  which,  to  quote  the  language  of  one  of  them,  "  have  grown  to 
be  strong,  vigorous  and  independent,  standing  shoulder  to  shoulder 


8 

with  the  English-speaking  Church  and  working  with  one  mind  for  the 
furtherance  of  the  Lord's  kingdom."  This  is  a  very  encouraging 
exhibit,  and  shows  that  the  money  spent  in  this  branch  of  our  service 
has  not  been  in  vain.  We  mention  these  facts  also  to  elicit  greater 
interest  in  the  institutions  where  our  ministers  are  trained.  That  at 
Dubuque  now  has  thirty  students  under  the  care  of  effecient  teachers 
who  are  laboring  there  at  no  small  sacrifice  to  sustain  the  good  work  ; 
that  at  Bloomfield  has  fifty  students  all  no  less  well  cared  for.  The 
only  limitation  to  their  more  extended  usefulness  is  the  lack  of  funds 
both  to  enlarge  their  accommodations  and  to  support  the  Professors. 

FORM    FOR    RECOMMENDATION    OF    CANDIDATES. 

The  experience  of  the  past  few  years  has  suggested  some  altera- 
tions in  the  formula  of  recommendation  which  were  adopted  at  the  last 
meeting  of  the  Board,  to  be  submitted  to  the  General  Assembly  for  its 
consideration  and  approval  also,  if  found  advisable-  The  new  formula 
is  appended  to  this  report.     (See  Page  45.) 

CANDIDATES  AIDED. 

The  number  of  candidates  under  the  care  of  the  Board  has 
decreased  from  869  (the  number  reported  last  year)  to  858.  They  are 
distributed  through  their  course  of  study  as  follows  :  in  the  Theolog- 
ical Seminaries,  387  ;  in  Colleges,  442  ;  in  Preparatory  studies,  29. 

Classified  according  to  their  nationality  and  race,  37  are  Germans ; 
89  Negroes  ;]  4  Bohemians  ;  4  Bulgarians ;  1  Japanese ;  1  Turk  ;  7 
Mexicans  ;  1  Spaniard  ;  1  Brazilian  ;  3  Scandinavians  ;  2  Sioux  Indians. 
The  rest  are  Americans,  Scotch,  Irish  and  Dutch. 

In  point  of  scholarship  239  are  marked  high  ;  290  medium-f-  ;  268 
medium;  15  medium— ;6,low.  A  few  of  those  marked  below  medium  have 
been  retained  on  special  informaton  from  their  instructors  that  their  ex- 
cellence in  other  respects  warrants  good  hope  of  success  in  the  ministry. 
Six  have  been  obliged  to  suspend  study  on  account  of  ill  health  ;  13 
have  withdrawn,  having  found  other  means  of  support  ;  3  have  been 
called  away  by  death  ;  26  though  accepted  by  the  Board  on  Presbyterial 
recommendations,  were  not  reported  by  their  Professors  as  needing  the 
scholarships,  and  therefore  they  were  not  paid.  The  Board  has  been 
obliged  to  drop  6  candidates  on  account  of  low  scholarship  ;  2  on 
account  of  immoralities  ;  and  2  who  have  married. 

Those  who  have  completed  their  studies  at  the  Theological  Semin- 
aries and  have  been  graduated  this  spring,  are  as  follows:  from 
McCormick,  34;  Princeton,  17  ;  Union,  17  ;  Western,  7;  Auburn,  7  ; 
Lane,  4;  Newark,  5-'  Lincoln,  6;  Biddle,  3  ;   Dubuque,  4;   Danville,  1.

APPENDIX. 


ACTION    OF  THE    GENERAL   ASSEMBLY. 


Th»  Standing  Committee  of  the  Assembly  consisted  of  the  following  named  persons: 
Ministers.  Elders. 

John  A.  Liggett,  D;  I).,  Darwin  G.  Eaton, 

William  H.  James,  D.  1).,  William  H.  Purnell, 

William  F.  Ringland,  D,  D.,  Edward  T.  Gilbert, 

James  A.  Anderson,  Leroy  C.  Cooley, 

Harry  L.  Janeway,  William  Hoover, 

William  S.  Potter,  Charles  Monteith, 

J.  Scott  Burr,  David  D.  Sabin. 

John  C.  Miller. 
The   Committee  presented  their  report  on  Monday,  May   23d,  1892,  through  their 
Chairman,  Rev.  John  A.  Liggett,  D.  D.,  which  was  accepted.     The  Assembly  was  then 
addressed  by  Rev.   S.  A.   Mutchmore,  D.  D.,  Rev.  B.   L.   Agnew,   D.  D.,  Rev.  D.  W. 
Poor,  D.  D.,  Corresponding  Secretary  of  the  Board,  and  others. 
The  report  was  unanimously  adopted,  and  is  as  follows: 

Your  standing  Committee  on  Education  desire  respectfully  to  submit  to  the  Assembly 
the  following  report  : 

1.  The  Committee  have  made  a  careful  examination  of  the  minutes  of  the  Board,  and 
find  them  in  due  form.  They  take  great  pleasure  in  giving  a  hearty  commendation  to  the 
officers  and  members  of  the  Board  for  the  faithful  and  persevering  efforts  they  have  made 
during  the  past  year  to  further  the  interests  of  this  great  and  deserving  cause.  These 
efforts  have  been  trowned  with  a  gratifying  degree  of  success.  The  number  of  churches 
contributing  to  this  cause  is  321  greater  than  during  the  preceding  year.  The  total 
amount  received  from  churches  and  Sabbath  schools  was  $61,760.28.  The  grand  total 
received  from  all  sources,  including  legacies,  was  £91,735.12. 

2.  At  the  beginning  of  the  year  the  Board  found  themselves  burdened  with  a  debt  of 
$16,000.  One  of  the  first  things  to  be  done  was  to  devise  methods  by  which  this  debt 
might  be  extinguished.  To  effect  this  purpose  it  was  found  necessary  to  reduce  the 
amount  of  the  appropriations  to  the  students  under  its  care,  so  that  those  who  had  received 
$100  should  receive  $80,  and  those  who  were  receiving  £80  should  receive  only  $70  per 
year.  This  was  dune,  however,  with  the  uuderstanding  that  at  the  end  of  the  present 
ti-<  al  year  if  the  state  of  the  treasury  would  permit  it,  there  should  be  an  additional  ap- 
propriation to  each  student,  to  make  up  as  far  as  possible,  for  the  reduction.  As  a  matter 
of  fact,  about  IO  per  cent,  additional  was  allowed.  As  an  additional  help  in  the  matter 
of  reduction  of  the  debt,  it  was  resolved  to  drop  from  the  roll  of  beneficiaries  any  student 
who  might  be  found  able  to  dispense  with  aid  from  the  Board,  and  the  students  themselves 
were  earnestly  invited  to  co-operate  in  this  matter,  and  assist  the  Board  as  far  as 
possible. 


38 

It  also  resolved  to  decline  the  recommendations  of  all  such  as  are  denominated 
'*  special,"  and  those  in  the  Academic  department — an  exception  being  made,  however,  in 
the  case  of  colored  and  foreign  students.  In  addition  to  all  this,  the  Board  determined 
that  earnest  appeals  should  be  made  to  the  churches,  and  as  a  matter  of  fact  these  appeals 
were  made,  and  everything  was  done,  to  place  the  Board  on  a  sound  financial  basis.  As 
the  result  of  all  this  earnest  work,  the  original  debt  of  $  1 6,000  was  reduced  to  $7,000, 
and  had  the  churches  been  a  little  more  prompt  in  making  their  remittances,  the  whole 
debt  would  have  been  extinguished. 

3.  It  is  worthy  of  notice  and  a  matter  for  thanksgiving,  that  after  all  the  precautions 
and  reductions,  the  number  of  students  applying  for  aid  was  only  eleven  less  than  the  pre- 
ceding year,  the  whole  number  being  at  the  close  of  the  year  858 — as  against  869  in  the 
previous  year.  Fifty-eight  applicants  were  declined,  and  it  is  possible  that  many  others 
were  turned  aside  from  the  work  to  which  they  wished  to  devote  their  lives,  from  sheer 
inability  to  obtain  funds  to  carry  out  their  purpose  and  pay  their  bills.  This  is  one  of  the 
saddest  features  of  the  case. 

4.  Attention  should  be  called  at  this  point  to  one  of  the  methods  by  which  during  the 
past  year  the  funds  were  aided  and  the  debt  diminished.  This  was  through  what  is  called 
the  "  Gratitude  Fund," — suggested  by  the  Rev.  W.  C.  Covert,  of  Minnesota.  The  idea 
was  that  ministers  who  had  received  aid  from  the  Board — while  preparing  for  their  work — 
should  have  the  privilege  of  making  contributions  in  aid  of  the  Board  in  the  day  of  its 
necessity.  The  sum  thus  contributed  to  constitute  the  '  Gratitude  Fund  "  amounted  for 
the  year  to  one  thousand  five-hundred  and  seventy-one  dollars  and  thirty-two  cents 
($1,571.32). 

5.  The  next  matter  to  which  your  Committee  would  call  the  attention  of  the  Assembly 
is  the  present  great  and  ever  increasing  need  of  fresh  supplies  for  the  ministry.  We  must 
be  wide-awake  in  this  matter,  or  our  beloved  church  will  lag  behind.  Ponder  well  the 
following  facts.  In  addition  to  the  169  churches  of  this  denomination  in  foreign  fields, 
we  have  in  our  own  country  6,901  regularly  organized  churches. 

For  the  great  work  of  taking  care  of  these  churches,  after  deducting  338  Foreign 
Missionaries  and  356  engaged  as  Presidents,  professors,  editors  and  teachers,  there  are  but 
5,119  who  are  marked  as  pastors  and  stated  supplies — while  there  are  about  930  who  are 
from  various  causes  unemployed  in  the  work  of  the  ministry.  Some  of  these  are  aged, 
some  are  in  bad  health,  and  some  possibly  are  inefficient.  If  we  count  the  one  half  of  the 
unemployed  as  capable  of  labor  in  the  ministry,  it  leaves  but  4,654  men  to  supply  the 
wants  of  6,901  churches. 

As  a  consequence  of  all  this,  we  have  to  face  the  fact  that  1,183  °f  our  churches  are 
now  marked  vacant,  and  while  many  of  them  are  small,  yet  in  one  sense  all  of  them  are 
important,  and  no  Presbyterian  church  should  be  left  to  die  for  want  of  an  under  shep- 
herd to  feed  and  foster  it.  The  Roman  Catholic  Church  does  not  leave  its  parishes 
vacant.  The  Methodist  Church  does  not  leave  its  little  churches  without  ministrations. 
Why  should  we  ? 

6.  Now  in  the  next  place  let  us  glance  briefly  at  the  source  of  supplies  for  this  great 
want. 

Our  Seminaries  graduated  this  year  only  228  men  for  the  Gospel  Ministry.  Of  these 
228,  we  may  suppose  that  about  28  will  find  work  in  the  congregations  of  the  Reformed 
and  other  related  Churches.  This  leaves  about  200.  Now,  in  the  first  place,  we  lost  last 
year  from  our  ranks  166  by  death  and  dismissal.  It  will  take  more  than  three-quarters  of 
the  200  to  fill  the  vacancies  thus  made.  This  leaves  of  all  the  men  this  year  graduated, 
but  34  new  men  to  find  their  places  in  the  1,183  vacant  churches.     Besides  this,  144  new 


39 

churches  have  been  organized  on  an  average  for  the  past  five  years.  In  view  of  these 
facts,  the  cry  sometimes  raised  that  we  have  too  many  ministers,  excited  by  the  fact  that 
where  a  good  church  becomes  vacant  there  are  so  many  applications  for  the  place,  is 
simply  absurd. 

7.  Then  one  other  thing  to  which  we  wish  to  call  the  attention  of  the  Assembly,  is  the 
grand  results  already  achieved  by  the  Board  of  Education.  At  this  very  time  in  which  we 
live,  there  are  two  thousand,  four  hundred  and  eighty-nine  ministers,  variously  employed* 
who  found  their  way  into  the  ministry  by  the  aid  of  this  Board.  This  is  something  for 
those  who  have  given  their  time  and  money  to  this  great  enterprise  to  be  justly  proud  of. 
More  than  one-third  of  our  whole  ministry  received  aid  from  this  source.  Ninety-seven 
per  cent,  of  the  average  amount  expended  each  year  in  aiding  students,  from  1870  to 
1888,  has  been  invested  in  men  who  have  entered  the  ministry. 

8.  In  addition  to  what  has  been  stated,  we  wish  to  call  attention  to  one  fact  which  is 
almost  startling — and  that  is,  that  after  this  Board  has  existed  for  73  years,  and  has 
achieved  such  grand  results,  yet  according  to  the  last  report,  there  are  3,604  of  our 
churches  that  have  not  during  the  past  year  contributed  a  single  dollar  to  aid  this  great 
essential  cause.  3,291  have  contributed  and  3,604  have  utterly  failed.  Is  it  any  wonder 
that  the  Board  have  been  driven  to  cut  down  the  already  meagre  appropriations,  and  de- 
vise so  many  ways  to  meet  their  ever  increasing  responsibilities? 

Inasmuch  as  our  country  is  filling  up  with  vast  populations,  pouring  in  upon 
us  like  a  mighty  tide,  and  as  the  Board  has  under  its  charge  representatives  of  the  leading 
nations  of  the  earth, — Germans,  Africans,  Bohemians  and  Bulgarians,  and  others,  it  seems 
only  right  and  proper  that  our  Church  should  heed  the  call  to  send  educated  and  evan- 
gelical preachers  to  work  among  these  different  nationalities  and  assimilate  them  as  rap- 
idly as  possible,  so  that  they  may  become  both  good  citizens  for  the  State  and  good 
Christians  for  the  Church. 

Last  of  all,  we  feel  called  upon  to  notice  one  fact  revealed  by  the  tabular  statements 
of  the  Board's  report,  namely, — that  some  of  our  wealthiest  and  most  influential  Synods 
draw  as  much  from  the  Board  as  they  contribute  to  it — while  in  other  cases,  some  impor- 
tant Synods  draw  from  the  fund  double  the  amount  of  their  annual  contribution,  thus 
leaving  the  less  able  portions  of  the  Church  without  that  aid  for  their  students  which  they 
so  sorely  need. 

Your  Committee  would  recommend  the  adoption  of  the  following  resolutions  : 

"Resolved,  First,  That  the  thanks  of  this  Assembly  and  the  whole  Church  are  due  to 
the  Board  of  Education  and  to  its  faithful  officers  for  their  fidelity  and  wisdom  in  con. 
ducting  so  successfully  the  affairs  of  this  Board  during  the  past  year. 

"Resolved,  Second,  That  in  view  of  the  great  interests  at  stake,  and  the  pressing 
need  of  men  in  the  evangelistic  field,  we  call  upon  all  our  ministers,  elders  and  people  to 
make  unusual  efforts  to  increase  the  funds  of  this  Board,  and  we  specially  entreat  all 
churches  that  did  not  contribute  during  the  past  year  to  do  what  they  can  to  sustain  the 
work  of  this  most  important  arm  of  the  church. 

"Resolved,  Third,  That  the  new  formula  of  Presbyterial  recommendation,  found  on 
page  37  of  the  Board's  Report,  be  adopted  by  this  Assembly. 

!ved,  Fourth,  The  following  persons,  whose  term  of  office  expire,  are  recom- 
mended for  re-election,  as  follow -- : 

"Ministers! — Rev.  John  S.  Macintosh,  I).  I>.,  Rev.  Irwin  P.  McCurdy,  D.  1).,  Rev. 
Hughes  O.  Gibbons,  D.  D.  Elders, — Rudolph  S.  Walton,  John  W.  Fatton,  Esq.,  and 
Rudolph  M.  Schick,  Esq." 

John  A.  Liggett,  Chairman.

RULES  OF  THE  BOARD  OF  EDUCATION 

RELATING    TO 

CANDIDATES  FOR  THE  MINISTRY. 


I. — Dependence  of  the  Board  of  Education  upon  the  Presbyteries  of  the 
Church. 
i  .  The  Board  of  Education  shall  receive  and  aid  candidates  for  the  ministry  of  the 
Gospel  only  upon  the  recommendation  of  a  Presbytery  of  the  Church  ;  and  the  Presbytery 
is  responsible  for  their  examination,  subsequent  care,  and  the  designation  of  the  annual 
amount  of  aid  to  be  granted  to  them,  within  the  limits  set  by  the  General  Assembly. 

2.  The  Board  will  in  each  case  look  especially  to  the  Education  Committee  of  the 
Presbytery  for  filling  out  and  forwarding  the  form  of  recommendation  required  for  the 
reception  of  a  candidate,  and  also  for  the  pastoral  care  of  the  same,  until  his  entrance 
upon  his  official  duties. 

3.  As  a  general  rule,  the  Board  will  receive  any  young  man  of  whose  examination 
and  recommendation  in  conformity  with  its  requirements  proper  notification  has  been 
given  ;  but  it  shall  be  at  liberty  to  refuse  new  candidates  beyond  its  ability  to  support  them ; 
and  it  will  not  give  aid  to  students  from  the  foreign  missionary  field  unless  they  have 
been  recommended  by  our  foreign  missionaries  abroad,  or  have  come  to  study  in  this 
country  by  a  special  invitation  given  from  this  Board  upon  the  request  of  other  duly  rec- 
ognized church  authorities,  or  of  missionaries  resident  on  the  fields  from  which  they  come. 

II. — Reception  of  Candidates. 

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  directly  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  definite 
answers,  by  the  direction  of  the  Assembly  will  invariably  be  required  by  the  Board:  Give 
name  of  candidate  in  full.  Age  ?  Residence  ?  Has  Presbytery  examined  him  on  the 
following,  and  were  his  answers  satisfactory  as  to  his  Piety?  Motives  for  seeking  the 
ministry?  Talents?  Health?  Promise  of  practical  efficiency?  Is  he  free  from  ex- 
pensive andi  injurious  habits  ?  How  long  has  he  been  a  communicant  in  a  Presby- 
terian Church  ?  Please  name  the  church.  What  is  his  stage  of  study  ?  If  in  Academy, 
give  name  and  class.  If  in  College,  give  name  and  class.  If  in  Seminary,  give  name 
and  class.  If  in  an  Academy,  send  with  this  recommendation  a  statement  of  the  circum- 
stances that  would  warrant  the  Board  in  considering  his  case  extraordinary.     If  in  a 


4i 

Theological  Seminary,  has  he  pursued  a  collegiate  course  or  its  equivalent.  If  an  equiva- 
lent, what  was  it?  If  the  candidate  is  colored,  has  he  complied  with  Rule  VI.,  Sec.  I 
and  Sec.  2  ?  Has  he  been  recommended  to  Presbytery  by  his  Church  Session  ?  Can  he 
recite  the  Westminster  Shorter  Catechism  ?  Give  the  name  of  some  responsible  person 
(usually  a  member  of  the  faculty  of  the  institution,  or  the  student's  pastor)  through  whom 
the  payments  of  appropriations  may  be  made.  What  is  the  smallest  amount  required  to 
meet  his  really  necessary  expenses  to  the  end  of  this  fiscal  year,  viz.,  April  1st  ?  Has  he 
read  a  copy  of  the  rules  sent  herewith  ?  Does  he  accept  the  requirements  they  contain  ? 
At  a  meeting  of  the  Presbytery  of  .  .  .  held  at  .  .  .on  the  .  .  .  day  of  .  .  .  18  , 
the  candidate  for  the  ministry  named  above,  having  been  satisfactorily  examined  as  to  the 
points  indicated  by  the  questions  above,  is  hereby,  by  order  of  the  Presbytery,  recom- 
mended to  the  Hoard  of  Education  for  aid  to  the  amount  specified.  Signed  by  .  .  . 
Chairman  of  the  Education  Committee. 

3.  No  candidate  shall  be  received  by  the  Board  who  has  not  been  a  member  of  the 
Presbyterian  Church,  or  of  some  closely  related  body,  for  at  least  one  year ;  who  has  not 
been  recommended  to  the  Presbytery  by  the  Session  of  the  Church  of  which  he  is  a 
member ;  and  who  is  not  sufficiently  advanced  in  study  to  enter  college,  except  in  extra- 
ordinary cases. 

III. — Scholarships. 

1.  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  §100. 

2.  These  Scholarships  shall  be  paid  to  a  student  only  on  the  reception  of  particular 
and  satisfactory  reports  from  his  professors,  embracing  the  following  points  :  Christian 
Character?     Scholarship?     Rhetorical  Ability ?     Punctuality?     Economy? 

3.  The  Board  may  increase  or  diminish  in  a  general  ratio,  the  Scholarships  in  case 
of  unusual  surplus  or  deficiency  in  funds. 

4.  No  payment  shall  be  made  in  advance.  Each  payment  shall  be  acknowledged 
by  a  receipt  signed  by  the  candidate,  or  by  the  person  authorized  by  him  to  receive  it. 
And  this  receipt  shall  contain  a  pledge  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  first  days  of  October,  January  and  April.  The  payments  of  a  student  whose 
recommendatian  is  made  at  any  time  between  those  days  may  be  expected  to  commence 
at  the  date  of  it. 

6.  The  Board  will  in  no  case  be  responsible  for  the  debts  of  students ;  but  it  is  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  by  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  ministry  ;  or  when  they  are  manifestly  improvident,  or  contract  debts 
without  reasonable  prospects  of  payment ;  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  (unless 
it  appears  that  he  is  providentially  prevented)  ;  or  if  he  ceases  to  adhere  to  the  standards 


42 

of  the  Presbyterian  Church  ;  or  if  he  changes  his  place  of  study  contrary  to  the  directions 
of  the  Presbytery,  or  continue  to  prosecute  his  studies  at  an  institution  not  approved  by 
it  or  by  the  Board ;  or  if  he  withdraws  his  connection  from  the  Church  of  which  this 
Board  is  the  organ,  without  furnishing  a  satisfactory  reason. 

9.  A  scholarship  afforded  by  the  Presbyterian  Church,  through  the  Board  of  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  duty  of 
multiplying  and  sending  forth  preachers  of  the  Gospel  of  salvation  to  all  the  world. 

IV. — Care  of  Candidates. 

1.  Candidates  are  required,  except  in  extraordinary  cases,  and  then  only  with  the 
explicit  permission  of  their  Presbyteries,  to  pursue  a  thorough  course  of  study,  preparatory 
to  that  of  theology,  in  institutions  that  sympathize  with  the  doctrinal  teachings  of  the  Pres- 
byterian Church;  and,  when  prepared,  to  pursue  a  three  years'  course  of  theological 
studies  in  some  seminary  connected  with  the  same  Church,  and  no  work  of  preaching  is 
allowed  to  interfere  with  the  diligent  and  faithful  prosecution  of  their  prescribed  studies 
until  the  close. 

2.  The  Board  can  rely  only  upon  the  Education  Committee  of  each  Presbytery  for  the 
regular  care  of  its  own  Candidates,  which  should  include  the  constant  exercise  of  a  par- 
ental oversight  over  them  in  spiritual  things,  and  the  bestowment  of  the  counsel  they  need 
as  to  their  mode  of  preparation,  their  place  of  study,  their  trials,  and  the  occupation  of 
their  time,  while  not  engaged  in  study,  in  employments  which  will  tend  to  qualify  them 
for  effective  usefulness  as  pastors  or  evangelists. 

3.  The  Board  shall  assist  the  Presbytery  in  its  care  of  candidates,  by  furnishing  an- 
nually to  the  Education  Committee,  a  summary  of  information  from  the  professors'  reports 
as  to  the  standing  of  each  student ;  and  the  Corresponding  Secretary  shall  exercise  a  gen- 
eral supervisory  care  over  them,  also  visit  and  address  them,  when  practicable,  at  the  in- 
stitution where  they  are,  in  regard  to  their  duties  and  the  claims  of  the  office  which  they 
have  in  view. 

4.  The  recommendation  of  each  candidate  must  be  annually  renewed  by  his  Presby- 
tery, if  possible,  at  the  spring  meeting,  in  connection  with  one  from  the  Session  of  the 
Church  of  which  he  is  a  member,  and  a  specification  must  be  made  of  the  amount  needed 
by  him;  and  until  the  notification  of  these  points  has  been  received,  a  student  will  not 
be  considered  as  upon  the  roll  for  the  year. 

5.  Recommendations,  or  renewals  of  them,  made  by  an  Education  Committee  in  the 
interim  of  the  Sessions  of  a  Presbytery,  shall  be  received  as  sufficient,  provided  its  action 
is  reported  to  the  Presbytery  at  the  next  session,  and  not  countermanded  to  the  Board. 

6.  If,  at  any  time,  there  be  discovered  in  a  student  such  defect  in  capacity,  diligence, 
and  especially  in  piety,  as  would  render  his  introduction  into  the  ministry  a  doubtful 
measure,  it  shall  be  the  sacred  duty  of  the  Board  to  communicate  without  delay  the  in- 
formation received  to  the  Education  Committee  of  his  Presbytery;  and  if,  on  careful  in- 
quiry on  the  part  of  the  Presbytery,  no  satisfactory  explanation  of  the  defect  can  be  ob- 
tained, or  if  no  response  be  received  by  the  Board  from  the  Presbytery  or  from  its  Com- 
mittee on  Education,  within  the  current  quarter,  it  shall  be  the  duty  of  the  Board  to 
withdraw  its  aid  altogether. 

7.  Special  care  should  be  exercised  by  the  Presbytery  in  the  examination  of  students 


43 

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  conducted 
by  the  Presbytery,  and  be  entirely  satisfactory  as  to  the  "real  piety  "  of  the  students, 
"and  the  motives  which  have  intluenced  them  to  desire  the  sacred  office,"  before  they 
are  allowed  to  take  this  final  step  towards  assuming  its  great  responsibiliries. 

8  The  annual  report,  occasional  publications  of  this  Board,  and  a  copy  of  the  Con- 
fession of  Faith,  shall  be  sent  gratis  to  all  students  under  its  care  who  request  them. 

V. — Particular  Duties  of  Candidates. 

i.  Inasmuch  as  the  great  aim  of  the  Church,  in  the  establishment  of  the  Board  ot 
Education,  is  the  increase  of  holy  and  faithful  preachers  of  the  Gospel ;  the  young  breth- 
ren who  look  to  this  work  are  earnestly  and  affectionately  reminded  that  all  intellectual 
acquisitions  are  of  little  value  without  the  cultivation  of  piety,  and  that  they  are  expected 
and  required  to  pay  special  attention  to  the  practical  duties  of  religion,  such  as  reading 
the  Scriptures ;  secret  prayer  and  meditation  ;  occasional  acts  of  special  consecration  of 
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  promote 
the  salvation  of  others  ;  and  the  exhibition  at  all  times  of  a  pious  and  consistent  example. 

2.  Inasmuch  as  the  scholarships  granted  by  the  Board  will  necessarily  fall  short  of  a 
full  support  of  the  students,  it  will  be  expected  that  they  and  their  friends  will  make  all 
proper  exertions  to  supply  whatever  may  be  wanting. 

3.  When  a  student  shall  find  it  necessary  to  relinquish  study  for  a  time,  in  order  to 
increase  his  means  for  support,  by  teaching  or  otherwise,  he  shall  first  obtain  the  consent 
of  the  Education  Committee  of  the  Presbytery,  or  of  the  Board ;  and  if  when  given  he 
shall  not  be  absent  from  study  more  than  three  months,  his  scholarship  will  be  continued : 
but  if  longer,  it  will  be  discontinued,  or  continued  in  part,  according  to  circumstances. 

4.  It  shall  be  the  duty  of  each  candidate  connected  with  the  Board  to  report  himself, 
soon  after  the  meeting  of  the  General  Assembly,  to  the  Education  Committee  of  his  Pres- 
bytery, as  to  his  progress,  wants  and  prospects ;  and  when  any  of  the  requisitions  of  the 
Hoard  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  maybe  prevented. 

5.  The  reception  of  a  scholarship  by  a  student  shall  be  considered  as  expressing  a 
promise  to  comply  with  all  the  rules  and  regulations  of  the  Board. 

VI. — Special  Ri  les  for  Colored  Candidates. 

1.  The  Board  will  take  none  under  its  care  as  candidates  for  the  ministry  among  the 
negroes  during  the  preparatory  course  unless  after  a  season  of  thorough  trial  ami  approval 
both  as  to  piety  and  ability,  through  two  or  three  years — as  reported  by  their  teachers. 

2.  Such  students  are  not  to  be  aided  more  than  two  years  before  entering  college. 

3.  It  is  not  regarded  as  advisable  for  any  colored  student  to  pursue  a  full  collegiate 
course  who  does  not  evince  an  aptitude  for  study  that  will  enable  him  to  reach  at  least  a 
grade  of  70,  out  of  a  possible  IOo,  in  sciences  and  languages. 

4.  In  case  a  colored  student  evinces  peculiar  gifts  for  the  ministry,  aside  from  his 
ability  to  acquire  a  knowledge  of  the  sciences  or  languages,  he  should  be  advised  to  pur- 
sue a  wholly  English  course  in  History.  Exegesis,  Theology,  Moral  Science,  etc. 

5.  The  attention  of  the  Presbyteries  and  Instructors  is  called  to  the  great  importance 
of  having  immoralities  on  the  part  of  students  under  the  care  of  this  Board  reported  to  it 
as  soon  as  possible,  after  such  lapses  from  Christian  character  shall  be  known. 

6.  In  order  to  discharge  the  trust  imposed  upon  the  Board  with  conscientious  fidelity, 


44 

the  Committees  of  Presbyteries,  who  commend  students  to  the  care  of  the  Board,  are  er- 
quested  to  furnish  the  Board  with  full  and  minute  information  as  to  the  moral  and  Chris- 
tian character,  and  the  real  mental  ability  and  promise  of  the  candidates  so  commended. 

7.  As  there  is  a  difference  of  expense  in  attendance  at  different  institutions,  and  as 
it  is  one  of  the  rules  of  the  Board  that  students  shall  ask  for  the  minimum  sum  that  will 
meet  their  needs,  therefore  when  the  Board  knows  that  any  named  sum  at  the  special  in- 
stitution will  suffice,  the  allowance  from  the  Board  shall  not  exceed  that  amount. 

8.  As  it  is  enjoined  in  the  Rules  and  urged  upon  the  Board,  by  a  special  resolution 
of  the  Assembly,  of  1878,  (see  Minutes  of  General  Assembly,  p.  47)  that  candidates 
enter  and  remain  in  the  Presbytery  to  which  they  naturally  belong,  and  by  the  Assembly 
of  1884  (see  Minutes  of  General  Assembly,  p.  87)  it  is  enjoined  that  candidates  under  the 
care  of  the  Board  pursue  their  collegiate  studies  in  institutions  that  are  in  sympathy  with 
both  the  doctrines  and  polity  of  the  Presbyterian  Church,  the  colored  students  under  the 
care  of  the  Board  are  enjoined  to  remain  in  connection  with  their  proper  Presbyteries, 
and  to  attend  in  both  their  preparatory  and  Collegiate  courses,  schools,  either  under  the 
care  of  the  Freedmen's  Board,  or  taught  by  teachers  in  connection  with  our  Church. 


45 

Presbyterial  Recommendation  of  a  Candidate  to  "The  Board  of  Education  of 
the  Presbyterian  Church  in  the  U.  S.  A." 

4-9-The  Board  of  Education  has  been  instructed  hereafter  invariably  to  require,  in  connection  with 
the  acceptance  of  a  student,  and  before  promising  him  aid  from  the  funds  of  the  Church,  definite  an- 
swers to  several  important  questions  which  may  conveniently  be  given  according  to  the  form  below. 

A  candidate,  in  order  to  receive  aid,  must  have  been  a  member  of  the  Presbyterian  Church,  or  some 
closely  related  body,  for  at  least  one  year :  be  recommended  to  Presbytery  by  his  church  session  ;  and, 
except  in  extraordinary  cases  (colored  students,  and  those  of  foreign  populations,  especially),  be  pre- 
pared to  enter  college. 

The  recommendation,  both  by  church  session  and  Presbytery,  must  be  renewed  annually,  if  possible 
at  the  spring  meeting  of  the  Presbytery,  and  should  state  the  lowest  possible  amount  within  the  limits 
set  by  the  General  Assembly  that  the  candidate  requires  to  meet  his  necessary  expenses  for  the  year. 

Jgg^The  following  form  will  also  answer  for  Annual  Renewals;  such  questions  as  that  of  the 
candidate's  age,  and  that  of  his  length  of  time  in  communion  with  the  Church,  if  answered 
before,  evidently  need  not  be  repeated ;  but,  on  consideration,  it  will  be  manifest  that  almost  all 
he  other  questions  deserve  annual  inquiry. 

Give  name  of  candidate   in  full 

Age Residence 

i.     Has  Presbytery  examined  him  on  the  following,  and  were  his  answers  satisfactory 

as  to  his  Piety  ? Motives  for  seeking  the  ministry  ? Talents  ? 

Health  ? Promise  of  Practical  efficiency? 

Is  he  free  from  expensive  and  injurious  habits  ? 

How  long  has  he  been  a  communicant  in  a  Presbyterian  church  ? 

Please  name  the  church 

What  is  his  stage  of  study? 

If  in  Academy,  give  name  and  class 

If  in  College,  give  name  and  class 

If  in  Seminary,  give  name  and  class 

86T*If  in  an  Academy,  send  with  this  recommendation  a  statement  of  the  circum- 
stances that  would  warrant  the  Board  in  considering  his  case  extraordinary,  [in 
accordance  with  Rule  II,  Sec.  3,  by  which  "no  candidate  shall  be  received  by  the 
Board  who  is  not  sufficiently  advanced  in  study  to  enter  college,  except  in 
extraordinary  cases  "] 

If  in  a  Theological  Seminary,  has  he  pursued  a  full  collegiate  course  or  its  equivalent? 
If  an  equivalent,  what  was  it? 

If  the  Candidate  is  colored,  has  he  complied  with  Rule  VI,  Sec.  1  ? [That 

the  Board  will  take  no  colored  students  under  its  care  as  candidates  for  the 
ministry  during  the  preparatory  course  "  unless  after  a  season  of  thorough  trial 
and  approval  both  as  to  piety  and  ability,  through  two  or  three  years  as  reported 
by  their  teachers."]  It  so,  send  his  teacher's  reports  with  this  recommendation. 
Also,  in  accordance  with  Rule  VI,  Sec.  2,  ["Such  students  are  not  to  be  aided

REPORT  OF  THE  STANDING  COMMITTEE  ON 
PUBLICATION  AND  SABBATH-SCHOOL  WORK. 

[approved  by  the  general  assembly.] 


The  Standing  Committee  cm  Publication  and  Sabbath-school 
Work  respectfully  reports  as  follows  : 

We  have  examined  the  records  of  the  Board,  the  annexed 
account  of  the  Treasurer  and  the  balance  sheets  which  accompany 
it,  and,  finding  them  satisfactory  in  every  particular,  recommend 
their  approval  by  the  General  Assembly. 

The  Annual  Report  of  the  work  of  the  Board  has  also  beeu 
carefully  read  and  considered.  The  receipts  of  the  Missionary 
department  from  churches,  Sabbath-schools  and  individuals  dur- 
ing the  past  year  have  been  nearly  nine  thousand  dollars  (89,000) 
larger  than  in  any  preceding  year,  and  three  times  larger  than  in 
1886,  and  have  rapidly  increased  from  that  time  until  the  present. 
This  furnishes  gratifying  testimony  to  the  efficiency  of  the  Board  in 
their  important  service  and  the  growing  confidence  of  the  Church. 

The  receipts  of  the  Business  department  during  the  past  year 
were  82119,115.11,  the  expenditures  §265,836.84,  and  the  net  profits 
§44,704.83,  of  which  sum  $29,803.22,  or  two  thirds  of  the  whole 
amount,  has  been  placed  to  the  credit  of  the  Sabbath-school  and 
Missionary  fund,  in  accordance  with  the  direction  of  the  General 
Assembly;  and  the  remaining  third,  §14,901.61,  has  been  added 
to  the  capital  stock. 

There  have  been  published  during  the  year  917,525  books  and 
tracts  and  22,052,605  periodicals.  These  books  and  periodicals 
are  distributed  through  the  main  house  in  Philadelphia,  the  Mis- 
sionaries of  the  Board,  and  through  the  depositories  in  the  large 
cities  of  this  country,  and  at  Montreal ;  Truro,  Nova  Scotia ;  Win- 
nipeg, Manitoba  ;  and  London.  They  are  published,  so  far  as  prac- 
ticable, in  the  French,  Spanish,  German  and  Swedish  languages, 
and  they  go  to   all  foreign  missionary  stations    throughout  the 

iii 


IV 

world.  The  Westminster  Teacher  and  other  helps  have  proved 
of  inestimable  value  in  the  study  of  God's  word,  and  have  been 
instrumental  in  leading  a  multitude  of  souls  to  Christ. 

The  Board  has  distributed  through  its  Missionaries,  in  their  vis- 
itations from  house  to  house,  2,601,629  pages  of  tracts  and  period- 
icals. The  number  directly  granted  by  the  Sabbath-school  and 
Missionary  Committee,  through  the  Superintendent,  was  14,197,356 
pages,  making  a  total  of  16,798,985. 

In  addition  to  these  tracts  and  periodicals,  the  Board  has  dis- 
tributed 89,024  volumes  of  Christian  literature,  of  which  5,339 
were  Bibles.  The  number  of  needy  Sabbath-schools  that  received 
donations  of  reading  matter  was  1,787.  Every  working  day  the 
Board  has  given  away  279  volumes  and  55,996  pages  of  tracts  and 
religious  papers. 

Here  let  it  be  observed  that  the  Business  department  of  the 
Board,  which  supports  the  editorial  and  business  subdivisions — 
the  one  providing  the  material  for  books,  tracts  and  periodicals, 
the  other  publishing  and  distributing  the  same  through  sales — is 
not  only  self-supporting,  but,  as  already  intimated,  has  given 
nearly  $30,000  of  its  profits  to  the  Sabbath-school  and  Missionary 
department,  thus  largely  supplementing  the  offerings  of  the 
churches,  all  of  which  go  directly  to  the  same  object.  This  fact 
needs  more  emphasis  than  has  been  given  to  it,  and  all  our  jiastors 
and  church  sessions  should  seek  to  correct  any  misapprehensions 
that  may  have  arisen  respecting  the  designation  of  all  contribu- 
tions to  the  Board. 

In  addition  to  the  aid  rendered  to  the  Missionary  department 
of  the  Board,  the  Publication  House  has  given  its  clerical  rooms, 
free  of  rent,  to  the  Board  of  Education,  the  Board  of  Ministerial 
Relief,  to  the  Woman's  Foreign  Missionary  Society,  to  the  Editor 
of  The  Church  at  Home  and  Abroad,  and  a  large  assembly-room 
for  the  meetings  of  the  Presbyterian  ministers  of  Philadelphia. 

We  observe  with  interest  that  the  Business  department  is  in  the 
process  of  reorganization.  The  Board  states  that  the  By-Laws  have 
been  so  amended  as  to  establish  two  branches  in  the  department, 
in  accordance  with  the  recommendation  of  the  last  General  Assem- 
bly, viz.,  "  a  manufacturing  branch,  to  be  placed  under  the  charge 
of  a  competent  person,  who  should  be  held  responsible  for  its 
proper  management ;  and  a  publishing  and  distributing  branch, 
also  in  charge  of  a  competent  person,  by  whom  the  book  and 


periodical  business  of  the  Board  may  be  extended  and  its  publica- 
tions brought  more  fully  to  the  attention  of  the  churches  and  the 
people."  The  Sabbath-school  and  Missionary  department  is  occu- 
pied with  gathering  and  organizing  Sabbath-schools  in  destitute 
places  where  the  ministry  and  church  organizations  have  not  as 
yet  gone ;  in  furnishing  the  same  with  books,  lesson  helps  and 
periodicals  ;  and  in  aiding  the  growth  and  efficiency  of  these  nurse- 
ries of  early  piety.  This  is  accomplished  through  the  Permanent 
Missionaries,  whose  work  is  supplemented  by  students  who  devote 
the  intervals  of  study  to  this  form  of  practical  service. 

The  Board  has  employed  during  the  past  year  72  Permanent 
Missionaries,  an  increase  of  18  over  the  number  of  1891 ;  and 
there  have  been  73  theological  students  in  commission.  These 
Missionaries  distributed  2,601,629  pages  of  tracts  and  periodicals 
in  the  homes  visited,  delivered  7,338  addresses,  and  established 
961  new  Sabbath-schools.  The  Board  also  supplied,  free  of  charge, 
hymn-books,  lesson  helps,  papers  and  Bibles  to  123  Sabbath-schools 
organized  by  other  persons,  making  a  total  of  1,084  schools  directly 
or  indirectly  established  during  the  past  year. 

From  a  carefully  prepared  exhibit  of  the  fruits  of  the  missionary 
work  performed  during  the  year  that  closed  April  1,  1891,  it  ap- 
pears that  through  the  Missionaries  of  the  Board  there  were  organ- 
ized, on  an  average,  two  Sabbath-schools  each  day  of  that  year,  out 
of  which  grew,  on  an  average,  one  church  for  each  Sabbath  of  the 
same  period.  This  result  is  exclusive  of  experimental  labors, 
which,  through  adverse  influences,  were  of  short  duration.  The 
difficulty  of  obtaining  suitable  superintendents  and  teachers  in  new 
districts  accounts,  in  a  large  measure,  for  exceptional  failures. 

Special  attention  is  called  to  the  eminently  benevolent  work 
of  this  department  of  the  Board,  in  securing,  through  appeals  to 
the  churches,  a  supply  of  clothing  for  destitute  children  during  the 
winter  of  1891-92,  in  which  at  least  6,000  children  were  enabled 
to  attend  the  Sabbath-school.  This  generous  response  in  boxes  of 
clothing,  to  the  value  of  $8,000,  will  receive  public  recognition 
from  the  Master  at  the  last  day — "  Ye  did  it  unto  me." 

After  a  somewhat  extended  survey  of  the  department  of  Chris- 
tian service  committed  to  the  Board  of  Publication  and  Sabbath- 
school  Work,  your  Committee  is  deeply  impressed  with  its  import- 
ance. It  is  at  the  front  in  the  evangelization  of  our  country.  It 
is  the  pioneer  of  the  Church, — the  voice  crying  in  the  wilderness. 


VI 


In  quietness  and  without  observation,  trusting  in  God,  it  lays  the 
foundations,  prepares  the  way  for  the  organized  church,  the  per- 
manent pastor,  and  also  the  ordinances  of  the  house  of  God. 
Whilst  the  Christian  college  is  preparing  young  men  for  the  min- 
istry, and  the  Board  of  Education  is  extending  its  helpful  aid,  this 
Board  is  opening  doors  to  fields  of  usefulness,  which,  through  its 
labors,  are  already  white  for  the  harvest,  appealing  for  the  Mis- 
sionaries whom  the  Board  of  Home  Missions  sends  forth,  and  to 
the  Board  of  Church  Erection  for  houses  of  worship  to  shelter  the 
little  flocks  they  have  gathered  along  the  bridle-paths  of  the  world's 
advance.  Inasmuch  as  this  Board  reaches  life  at  its  very  sources 
and  gives  it  direction  thence,  it  performs  a  conspicuous  part  in 
providing  ministers  and  elders,  Home  and  Foreign  Missionaries, 
and  all  the  Christian  agencies  by  which  these  growing  districts 
of  the  West  shall  be  brought  under  Immanuel's  rule,  and  prepared 
for  the  higher  and  endless  service  of  the  world  to  come.  And  it 
is  not  only  the  vanguard  of  the  Church,  but  it  is  also  a  nursing 
mother  to  the  households  of  faith  it  establishes,  the  pastor's  most 
efficient  helper,  the  friend  of  the  children,  the  educator  of  the 
youth  and  the  solace  of  old  age. 

The  literature  of  the  Board  supplies,  as  far  as  possible,  a  great 
and  urgent  need.  We  cannot  exaggerate  the  value  of  books  and 
periodicals  which  inculcate  and  support  the  truth  as  against  the 
most  dangerous  errors. 

Much  is  to  be  feared  from  the  skepticism  of  the  age.  Conspic- 
uous intellects,  great  though  darkened,  are  arrayed  against  evan- 
gelical religion.  Atheism  denies  the  existence  of  God ;  pantheism 
denies  his  personality ;  rationalism  denies  the  authority  of  his 
word  ;  humanitarianism  betrays  Christ  with  a  kiss  ;  and  indifferent- 
ism  repudiates  all  human  responsibility.  Only  perpetual  vigilance 
can  conserve  the  simple,  true,  soul-saving  gospel  of  Christ,  the  only 
hope  of  a  lost  world. 

This  Board  of  our  Church,  through  its  consecrated  Missionaries 
and  Scriptural  literature,  seeks  to  resist  and  counteract  the  ration- 
alistic and  infidel  tendencies  of  our  times,  and  to  give  the  crown 
of  universal  dominion  to  him  who  is  God  over  all,  blessed  for 
evermore. 

Each  depository  of  this  Board  in  the  great  centres  of  population, 
in  all  parts  of  our  land,  not  thrust  into  a  corner,  but  looking  out 
on  the  highways  of  human  life,  accessible  to  the  hastening  throng, 


Vll 

may  be  the  source  of  a  corrective  and  life-giving  influence  which 
may  be  as  abiding  a.s  the  race,  and  every  Missionary  who  carries 
this  literature  into  irreligious  or  Christian  homes,  may  be  the 
instrument  of  leading  many  into  a  knowledge  of  the  t ruth  and  of 
confirming  the  faith  of  those  who  believe.  It  is  the  judgment  of 
your  Committee  that  the  Board  should  continue  to  strengthen  this 
department  of  the  work,  seeking  and  securing,  so  far  as  possible, 
the  contributions  to  its  literature  of  the  strongest  intellects  of  the 
land  and  the  world,  and  advancing  this  part  of  its  mission  with 
the  utmost  energy  and  a  persistence  that  shall  never  yield. 

There  is  a  single  statement  in  the  Annual  Report  of  the  Board 
which  occasioned  a  sense  of  profound  sorrow.  It  is  the  one  dark 
spot  on  the  otherwise  happy  record,  which  in  some  way  God  will 
doubtless  overrule  for  good.  The  Board  reports  to  the  General 
Assembly  that  since  the  close  of  the  fiscal  year  it  has  been  dis- 
covered that  the  actual  cash  of  the  Board  is  $7,431. M,  less  than 
the  balance  shown  by  the  cash-book  of  the  Board.  This  shortage 
has  arisen  from  the  defalcation  of  a  subordinate,  to  whom,  under 
the  supervision  of  the  Treasurer,  the  keeping  of  the  cash-book  had 
been  entrusted.  There  is  no  doubt  respecting  the  liability  of  the 
Treasurer  and  his  securities  for  the  proper  care  of  all  the  funds 
of  the  Board,  and  steps  have  been  taken  for  the  recovery  of  the 
amount  stated,  the  accomplishment  of  which  is  so  well  assured 
that  the  usual  two-thirds  dividend  of  net  profits  are  placed  to  the 
credit  of  the  Sabbath-school  and  Missionary  department.  Upon 
inquiry,  which  your  Committee  deemed  it  a  duty  to  make,  we 
learn  that  the  defaulter  in  the  case  is  the  chief  bookkeeper,  who 
has  long  been  a  faithful  and  trusted  employ6  of  the  Board.  This 
subordinate  has  been  promptly  dismissed  from  his  position,  and  he 
has  surrendered  his  personal  property  for  the  reparation,  in  part,  of 
the  loss  which  others  will  be  required,  in  a  large  measure,  to  supply. 

In  conclusion,  for  the  energy  and  faithfulness  of  the  officers  and 
employes  of  the  Board,  and  for  the  great  and  encouraging  results 
attained  during  the  past  year,  it  is  fitting  that  we  should  express 
deepest  gratitude  to  God,  and  gather  from  them  an  inspiration  for 
further  service.  Living  in  one  of  the  most  energetic  periods  oi 
human  history,  great  religious  and  social  problems  crowding  the 
closing  years  of  this  nineteenth  century,  the  sixth  day  of  the 
world's  progress,  beyond  which,  not  far  away,  may  lie  t lie  Sabbath 
of  righteousness  and  peace,  it  becomes  us  to  do  whatsoever  our 


V11I 

hands  find  to  do,  in  the  fear  of  God,  in  love  to  Christ  and  souls, 
without  delay  and  with  our  might. 

Your  Committee  recommends  the  adoption  by  the  General 
Assembly  of  the  following  resolutions  : 

1.  We  earnestly  commend  this  Board  to  the  sympathies  and 
prayers  of  all  our  people,  and  earnestly  recommend  that  our 
churches  and  Sabbath-schools  contribute  to  it  during  the  coming 
year  not  less  than  $150,000. 

2.  That  presbyteries,  pastors  and  church  sessions  encourage  the 
teaching  of  the  Shorter  Catechism,  and  that  the  helps  to  Bible 
study  issued  by  our  Board  be  used  in  all  our  Sabbath-schools. 

3.  That  we  commend  the  efforts  of  the  Board  to  stimulate  the 
organization  of  classes  for  the  training  of  Sabbath-school  teachers. 

4.  We  regard  with  hopefulness  and  gratitude  to  God  the  general 
observance  of  Children's  Day,  which  furnishes  an  opportunity  of 
deepening  in  all  our  churches  the  interest  in  the  conversion  and 
spiritual  nurture  of  the  young. 

5.  We  heartily  commend  the  united  movement  of  the  Sabbath- 
schools  of  our  Church,  to  gather  the  now  neglected  children  and 
youth  into  our  Bible-schools,  and  all  our  people  are  urged  to  co- 
operate in  this  important  work. 

6.  We  recommend  that  the  Board  of  Publication  and  Sabbath- 
school  Work  prepare  and  publish,  as  early  as  possible,  a  simple 
and  properly  illustrated  Primary  Quarterly,  for  the  use  of  small 
children  in  our  Sabbath-schools. 

7.  We  recommend  that  the  Board  reduce  the  price  of  their  pub- 
lications as  soon  and  as  far  as  practicable,  and  that  they  use  their 
utmost  endeavors  to  secure  their  circulation. 

8.  We  recommend  the  re-election,  as  members  of  the  Board  for 
the  term  of  three  years,  of  the  following  persons,  whose  period 
of  service  is  about  to  expire,  viz.:  Ministers  —  Charles  A. 
Dickey,  D.D.,  Robert  M.  Patterson,  D.D.,  LL.D.,  Louis  F.  Ben- 
son, C.  P.  H.  ISason  ;  Elders — Robert  H.  Hinckley,  John  H.  Watt, 
William  H.  Scott,  Charles  H.  Biles ;  and  confirm  the  appointment 
of  the  Rev.  Wellington  E.  Loucks  in  place  of  the  Rev.  Benjamin 
L.  Agnew,  D.D.,  resigned,  whose  term  of  office  expires  in  1893. 

All  of  which  is  respectfully  submitted. 

Robert  F.  Sample,  Chairman. 


FIFTY-FOURTH  ANNUAL  REPORT 

OF  THE 

PRESBYTERIAN  BOARD  OF  PUBLICATION 
AND  SABBATH-SCHOOL  WORK. 


With  thankful  acknowledgment  of  the  manifold  blessings

Board  of  Publication  and  Sabbath-school  Work  respectfully 
presents  to  the  General  Assembly  its  Fifty-fourth  Annual 
Report,  covering  the  year  beginning  April  1, 1891,  and  closing 
March  31,  1892. 

During  the  year,  Rev.  Wellington  E.  Loucks  was  elected

D.D.,  resigned.  The  confirmation  of  the  appointment  of  this 
gentleman,  whose  term  of  office  will  expire  in  1893,  is  re- 
quested.

WORK  OF  THE  BOARD. 

The  year  now  closed  has  been  in  good  degree  one  of  pn  e- 
perity,  in  which  all  the  Departments  have  participated. 
The  Sabbath-school  and  Missionary  Department  has  again 


4  FIFTY-FOURTH   ANNUAL   REPORT   OF   THE   BOARD   OF    [May, 

been  signally  favored.  Its  receipts  from  contributing  churches, 
Sabbath-schools,  and  individuals  were  nearly  $9,000  greater 
than  in  any  preceding  year.  It  was  thus  enabled  to  increase 
the  number  of  its  Permanent  Missionaries.  It  organized,  by  its 
Missionaries,  961  new  schools  and  reorganized  311  :  and  by  the 
stimulus  and  aid  of  its  grants  it  established  123  new  schools. 
Into  these  1,395  organizations  more  than  49,000  teachers  and 
scholars  were  gathered,  and  from  the  schools  thus  established  a 
number  of  churches  have  already  grown.  It  was  enabled  gra- 
tuitously to  distribute  nearly  17,000,000  pages  of  tracts  and 
periodicals,  aud  more  than  78,000  volumes  of  Christian  liter- 
ature, at  a  cost  of  $18,697.96.  It  closes  the  year  with  a 
balance  of  $42,532.86,  which  will  enable  it  to  prosecute  vigor- 
ously its  summer  work. 

It  is  a  matter  deserving  special  mention  that  since  the  year 

following:  the  organization   of  the  Sabbath-school   and    Mis- 
ts o 

sionary  Department  it  has  constantly  grown  in  the  confidence 
and  favor  of  the  Church,  as  has  been  manifested  by  an  increase 
from  year  to  year  in  the  contributions  of  churches,  Sabbath- 
schools,  and  individuals,  to  its  fund. 

The  Editorial  Department  has  issued  but  few  books  and 
tracts  pending  the  settlement  of  the  policy  of  the  Board  in 
reference  to  the  publication  of  that  class  of  literature.  The 
number  of  Lesson-helps  and  Sabbath-school  Papers  edited  re- 
mains unchanged.  There  has,  however,  been  an  increase  of 
the  circulation  of  these  publications  of  nearly  700,000  copies, 
which  is  highly  gratifying  as  it  indicates  increasing  interest 
and  confidence  on  the  part  of  the  Church  in  this  branch  of  our 
editorial  work.  It  is  worthy  of  special  notice  that  each  one  of 
our  periodicals,  with  the  exception  of  the  German  Lesson  Leaf, 
the  publication  of  which  is  a  purely  Missionary  enterprise,  has 
attained  to  a  self-supporting  basis. 

The  Business  Department  has  shared  largely  in  the  general 
prosperity  of  the  Board.  It  closed  the  year  with  net  profits 
amounting  to  $44,704.83,  of  which  two-thirds,  or  $29,803.22, 
were  paid  over  to  the  Sabbath-school  and  Missionary  Depart- 
ment, in  accordance  with  the  direction  of  the  General  Assembly.

RECOMMENDATIONS   OF  THE   SPECIAL   COMMITTEE  OF  SEVEN. 

The  Special  Committee  of  Seven,  appointed  by  the  General 
Assembly  of  1890  on  the  affairs  of  this  Board,  reported  to  the 
last  Assembly  six  recommendations,  all  of  which  were  ap- 
proved by  that  body.  (Minutes,  1891,  pa^es  122,  123.)  The 
first  of"  these  reeoiiunendations  required  no  aetion  by  the  Board. 
With  reference  to  the  second  and  sixth  recommendations  the 
action-  taken  are  given  immediately  below;  those  in  relation 
to  the  third,  fourth  and  fifth  will  be  found  on  pages  28,  29. 

The  second  recommendation  was  as  follows : 

"Second.  The  Board  of  Publication  is  requested  and  hereby  empowered  to 
make  a  sub-division  of  the  Business  Department,  with  a  manufacturing 
branch,  t<>  l>e  placed  under  the  charge  of  a  competent  person,  who  shall  he 
held  responsible  for  its  proper  management;  and  also  to  make  a  publishing 
and  distributing  branch,  also  in  charge  of  a  competent  person,  by  whom  the 
book  and  periodical  business  of  the  Board  may  be  extended  and  its  publica- 
tions brought  more  fully  to  the  attention  of  the  churches  and  the  people." 

In  accordance  therewith  the  Business  Department  is  in  the 
process  of  reorganization.  The  By-Laws  have  been  so  amended 
as  to  establish  the  two  branches  of  the  Department  indicated ; 
and  also  to  provide  for  the  election  of  a  Manufacturer, 
who  shall  have  charge  of  the  Manufacturing  Branch,  and  of  a 
Business  Superintendent,  who  shall  have  personal  charge 
of  the  Commercial  and  supervisory  charge  of  the  Manufacturing 
Branch. 

In  compliance  with  the  sixth  recommendation  separate  bal- 
ance sheets  of  the  Sabbath-school  and  Missionary  Department 
and  of  the  Business  Department  are  presented  in  this  report. 


6  FIFTY-FOURTH   ANNUAL   REPORT   OF   THE   BOARD   OF    [May, 

SABBATH-SCHOOL  AND  MISSIONARY 
DEPARTMENT. 


The  past  year  has  been  one  of  prosperity  with  this  Depart- 
ment. Pastors,  stated  supplies,  sessions,  churches,  Sabbath- 
schools  and  individuals  have  more  thoroughly  understood  and 
sympathized  with  its  objects  and  methods. 

THE  FUNCTIONS  OF  THE  DEPARTMENT 

may  be  classed  under  the  following  six  heads : 

I.  The  establishment  of  Sabbath-schools  in  needy  localities. 

II.  The  upbuilding  of  weak  and  struggling  Sabbath-schools 
in  frontier  and  destitute  districts. 

III.  The  distribution  of  Bibles,  hymn  books,  books,  tracts, 
lesson-helps  and  Sabbath-school  papers  through  sale  by  mis- 
sionaries, and  in  the  case  of  needy  churches,  Sabbath-schools, 
families,  and  individuals  by  grant. 

IV.  The  visitation  of  families  in  communities  destitute  of 
the  means  of  grace. 

V.  The  elevation  and  improvement  of  existing  Presbyterian 
Sabbath-schools. 

VI.  The  collection,  arrangement  and  presentation  to  the 
General  Assembly  of  the  Sabbath-  school  statistics  of  the  Pres- 
byteries and  Synods. 

MISSIONARY  AGENTS. 

In  carrying  on  the  first  four  classes  of  operations  above 
enumerated, — namely,  the  establishment  of  Sabbath-schools, 
their  upbuilding,  the  distribution  of  Christian  literature,  and 
house-to-house  visitation, — two  kinds  of  field  agents  are  em- 
ployed, styled  respectively  Permanent  and  Student  Sabbath- 
school  Missionaries. 


1892.]  PUBLICATION    AND   SABBATH-SCHOOL   WORK.  7 

1.    PERMANENT    MISSIONARIES. 

These  are  men  employed  for  their  whole  time,  and  who  are 
recom missioned  from  year  to  year,  so  long  as  they  are  willing 

to  continue  in  service  and  as  the  methods  and  success  of  their 
labors  meet  with  approval. 

The  entire  number  of  Permanent  Missionaries  at  work  dur- 
ing the  whole  or  a  portion  of  the  past  year  was  72,  being  an 
increase  of  18  over  the  number  employed  in  1891.  Of  these, 
58  are  now  in  the  field. 

2.    STUDENT   MISSIONARIES. 

These  are  students  from  our  theological  seminaries  appointed 
to  labor  as  Sabbath-school  Missionaries  during  the  four  months 
of  their  summer  vacation.  During  the  summer  of  1891  there 
were  73  of  this  class  of  laborers  in  commission.  These 
young  men  labored  with  fidelity,  and  God  blessed  their  efforts. 
Besides  the  results  of  their  work  on  their  fields,  they  themselves 
acquired  experience  in  missionary  work  which  will  tend  to 
qualify  them  for  future  efficient  ministerial  service. 

The  General  Assemblies  of  1888,  1889,  1890  and  1891  cor- 
dially approved  the  Board's  plan  of  sending  out  Student  Mis- 
sionaries, and  the  success  of  their  labors  has  vindicated  the 
wisdom  of  that  approval. 

RESULTS  OF  THE  YEAR'S  WORK. 
I. 

THE  ESTABLISHMENT  OF  SABBATH-SCHOOLS   IN   NEEDY 
LOCALITIES. 

ORGANIZATIONS. 

Our  Missionaries  established  during  the  year  9(31  new  Sab- 
bath-schools. 

Under  the  standing  offer  of  the  Board  to  furnish  free  supplies 
of  hymn  books,  lesson  helps,  papers  and  Bibles  to  any  person 
organizing  a  Presbyterian  Sabbath-sehool,  123  schools  were 
established.      This   number,  added  to  the   number  of  schools 


8  FIFTY-FOURTH   ANNUAL   REPORT   OF   THE    BOARD   OF    [May, 

established  by  the  Missionaries,  gives  a  total  of  1,084  new 
Sabbath-schools  directly  or  indirectly  organized  by  the  Board 
during  the  past  year. 

REORGANIZATIONS. 

More  than  a  year  ago  explicit  instructions  were  given  to  our 
Missionaries  to  report  reorganizations  of  schools  as  reorgan- 
izations, and  not  as  organizations,  thus  making  the  reports 
conform  to  the  facts  and  guarding  against  misleading  state- 
ments. During  the  past  year  311  schools  have  been  reported 
as  reorganized. 

ADDITIONAL   FACTS. 

The  total  number  of  teachers  and  scholars  gathered  into  our 
schools  this  year  was  over  49,000. 

The  Missionaries  visited  and  otherwise  aided  3,454  Sabbath- 
schools. 

In  their  varied  lines  of  work  our  Missionaries  delivered 
7,338  addresses,  and  travelled  377,782  miles. 

II. 

THE  UPBUILDING  OF  WEAK  AND  STRUGGLING   SABBATH- 
SCHOOLS. 

PERMANENCY   OF   THE   NEW   SCHOOLS. 

An  important  aim  of  the  Board  has  been  permanently  to 
establish  Sabbath-schools,  and  not  simply  to  organize  them. 
The  obstacles  in  the  way  of  such  establishment  are  principally 
the  following :  The  difficulty  of  finding  suitable  men  to  act  as 
superintendents ;  the  impossibility  in  some  localities  of  finding 
a  sufficient  number  of  suitable  teachers ;  the  blockades  of  snow 
that  in  many  northern  regions  make  the  roads  impassable  and 
so  prevent  attendance  during  the  winter ;  the  spiritual  indiffer- 
ence that  prevails  in  many  communities ;  and,  in  a  few  locali- 
ties, generally  prevailing  lawlessness  and  strife  amongst  the 
people. 

The  Superintendent  of  this  Department  has  constantly  la- 
bored to  repress  a  tendency  to  undue  multiplication  of  schools. 


1892.]  PUBLICATION   AND   SABBATH-SCHOOL   WORK.  9 

Missionaries  are  emphatically  instructed  to  labor  assiduously 
for  permanency  in  results.  They  are  forbidden  to  organise 
schools  without  the  express  authorization  of  the  Presbyteries 
within  whose  bounds  they  labor.  They  are  directed  to  place 
every  new  school,  whenever  possible,  under  the  care  of  the 
session  of  the  nearest  Presbyterian  church;  in  case  there  is  do 
neighboring  session  that  can  take  appropriate  oversight^  to 
commend  it  to  the  Committee  of  Presbytery;  ami,  where 
proper  supervision  cannot  be  exercised  by  the  Committee,  to 
place  it  in  the  immediate  care  of  the  Synodical  Missionary. 
These  instructions,  however,  which  contemplate  the  enlisting 
of  others  in  the  work  of  caring  for  the  new  schools,  are  not 
designed  to  relieve  our  Missionaries  themselves  from  further 
responsibility.  They  are  directed  to  continue  correspondence 
with  the  superintendents;  and  to  revisit  from  time  to  time,  as 
fchey  have  opportunity,  the  schools  they  have  established,  doing 
all  within  their  power  to  preserve  and  foster  them. 

The  Board  has  instituted  a  system  by  which  it  endeavors  to 
ascertain  the  condition  of  all  its  new  organizations.  Ijjach  year 
a  careful  census  is  taken  of  schools  that  were  organized  during 
the  preceding  year.  Reports  have  been  received  during  the 
year  just  closed  of  the  schools  that  were  directly  organized  by 
our  Missionaries  between  April  1,  1890,  and  April  1,1891, 
from  which  the  following  facts  are  gathered:  Of  the  1,209 
schools  organized  742  are  alive  and  flourishing;  332  have  suc- 
cumbed to  circumstances;  135  have  not  been  heard  from. 
From  the  742  living  schools  55  churches  have  already  grown. 

It  will  enable  us  in  some  degree  to  realize  the  magnitude  and 
importance  of  the  work  that  was  performed  by  our  Mission- 
aries during  the  year  that  closed  April  1,  twelve  months  ago. 
to  consider  the  tact  that  they  established,  on  an  average,  each 
day  of  that  year  2  schools  that  continue  to  live ;  and  also  the 
further  tact  that  from  those  living  schools  one  church  has 
already  grown  tin-  every  Sabbath  of  the  year. 

It  is  also  proper  to  report  that  the  135  schools  established 
during  that  year  under  the  oiler  of  the  Board  to  supply  Deeded 
books  and   lesson-helps,  are  all  alive  and  flourishing.     These

added  to  the  742  schools  established  by  the  direct  efforts  of  our 
Missionaries  make  a  total  of  877  living  Sabbath-schools  that, 
in  the  year  ending  April  1,  1891,  were  added  to  our  lists. 

CONJOINT     RESPONSIBILTY     OF     THE     BOARD     AND     THE 
PRESBYTERIES. 

The  General  Assembly  of  1887,  after  directing  the  reor- 
ganization of  the  Board  in  accordance  with  the  recommenda- 
tion of  the  Special  Committee  appointed  by  the  previous  As- 
sembly, adopted  the  following  resolution  (italics  ours) : 

[Resolved]  That  inasmuch  as  the  extension  of  the  Board's  work  herein 
contemplated,  requires  the  appointment  of  Missionaries  of  high  character 
and  ability,  their  qualifications  for  the  work  should  be  judiciously  weighed 
and  their  selection  and  appointment  carefully  made  by  the  Board.  No  Mis- 
sionary of  the  Board  shall  labor  within  the  bounds  of  a  Presbytery  except 
with  the  approval  and  under  the  supervision  of  the  Presbytery  or  its  appropriate 
Committee. 

It  is  manifest  from  this  resolution,  and  also  from  the  Re- 
ports of  the  Special  and  Standing  Committees  to  which  it 
relates,  that,  on  the  one  hand,  the  selection  of  Sabbath-school 
Missionaries,  their  assignment  to  particular  fields,  and  the  gen- 
eral superintendence  of  them  belong  to  the  Board ;  and  that, 
on  the  other  hand,  the  permission  to  labor  in  the  fields  to  which 
they  have  been  assigned,  and  the  supervision  of  them  while 
■engaged  therein,  appertain  to  the  Presbytery  to  whose  bounds 
they  have  been  assigned. 

With  the  intent  of  securing  to  the  Presbyteries  their  full 
authority  in  the  case,  the  following  directions  have  been  in- 
corporated in  the  printed  code  of  "  Instructions/'  a  copy  of 
which  is  placed  in  the  hands  of  each  Missionary.  A  copy  is 
also  sent  to  the  Chairman  of  the  Committee  on  Publication  and 
Sabbath-school  Work  of  every  Presbytery  to  whose  bounds  a 
Missionary  is  assigned. 

SPECIAL   INSTRUCTIONS    TO   MISSIONARIES. 

Consult  and  co-operate  with  the  Committee  of  Presbytery  on  Publication 
and  Sabbath-school  Work.     At  the  beginning  of  your  labors  ascertain  who  M 


1892.]  PUBLICATION    AN1>   SABBATH-SCHOOL    WORK.  11 

Chairman  of  this  Committee.  Seek  an  interview  with  him;  ask  his  advice 
and  that  of  the  other  members  of  the  Committee.  Keep  up  frequent  com- 
munication with  them.    Respect  their  counsel  and  wishes. 

If  practicable,  procure  from  them  a  descriptive  list  of  the  localities  in  the 
Presbytery  in  which  they  will  authorize  and  recommend  you  to  organize 
Sabbath-schools. 

Advise  with  the  pastors  of  churches  in  the  neighborhood  of  your  mission 
field. 

Attend  the  meetings  of  Presbytery,  and  report  your  work,  and  ask  its  ad- 
vice and  co-operation. 

You  are  not  to  organize  a  Sabbath-school  in  any  locality  unless  you  are 
expressly  authorized  to  establish  one  there  by  the  Presbytery  or  its  Com- 
mitter on  Publication  and  Sabbath-school  Work. 

On  the  loth  day  of  each  month  copy  on  your  monthly  blank  report  all 
Statistics  of  your  labors  since  the  15th  day  of  the  preceding  month  contained 
in  your  blank  book  of  forms.  Send  this  monthly  Report  to  the  Chairman 
of  the  Standing  Committee  on  Publication  and  Sabbath-school  Work  of  the 
Presbytery  within  whose  bounds  you  labor,  for  examination,  correction  and 
endorsement.  Have  this  Report  returned  to  you  by  the  Chairman  of  the 
said  Committee  ;  then,  and  not  till  then,  forward  it  to  the  Superintendent  of 
the  Department,  so  that  it  may  be  received  by  him  before  the  end  of  the 
month. 

Send  a  duplicate  of  the  Report  which  has  been  endorsed  by  the  Com- 
mittee to  the  Chairman  of  said  Committee,  to  be  retained  by  him. 

Special  attention  is  called  to  the  foregoing  resolution  of  the 
Assembly  and  instructions  of  the  Board.  It  is  evident  from 
them  that  if  on  any  account  the  method  of  work  pursued  by 
any  Missionary  is  not  satisfactory,  the  Presbytery,  or  its  Com- 
mittee, is  responsible  for  its  correction. 

III. 

I'l-TRIBUTION  OF  LITERATURE. 
GRANTS. 

The  number  of  pages  of  tracts  and  periodicals  distributed  by 
our  Missionaries,  in  their  house-to-house  visitations,  during  the 
past  year  was  2,601,629.  The  number  directly  granted  by  the 
Sabbath-school  and  Missionary  Committee, through  the  Super- 
intendent, was   14,197,356;  total,  16,798,985. 

In  addition  to  these  grants,  the  Department  has  distributed 
89,024  volumes  of  Christian  literature,  of  which   5,339   were 


12         FIFTY-FOURTH   ANNUAL   REPORT   OF   THE   BOARD   OF    [May, 

Bibles.  Of  this  number,  the  Missionaries  gave  away,  other 
than  Bibles,  63,355,  and  sold  5,055. 

The  number  of  volumes  directly  donated  by  the  Sabbath- 
school  and  Missionary  Committee  was  15,279. 

The  net  value  of  the  grants,  that  is,  the  exact  cost  to  the 
Department,  was  $18,697.96. 

The  number  of  Sabbath-schools  applying  for  and  helped  by 
these  grants,  most  of  which  are  entirely  dependent  for  reading 
matter  upon  what  is  thus  gratuitously  supplied  to  them,  was 
1,787.  The  number  of  grants  made  to  churches  and  individ- 
uals was  584. 

These  figures  have  little  meaning  to  the  unthinking  reader. 
But  when  we  remember  that  God  is  often  pleased  to  accom- 
pany the  printed  truth  with  the  influence  of  the  Holy  Spirit 
to  the  salvation  of  men,  they  possess  a  profound  significance. 

Every  working  day  in  the  year  the  Board  has  given  away 
279  volumes,  and  55,996  pages  of  tracts  and  religious  papers. 

This  is  a  reading  age,  and  thousands  who  would  never  enter 
a  church  nor  listen  to  a  sermon  can  be  reached  by  the  truths 
of  God's  word  presented  in  our  beautiful  Sabbath-school  papers, 
and  in  tracts  and  good  books. 

IV. 

HOUSE-TO-HOUSE  VISITATION. 

In  this  country  vast  numbers  of  our  population  are  living 
in  new  settlements  and  in  country  districts,  in  many  instances 
at  great  distance  from  railroads  and  from  churches  or  Sab- 
bath-schools. These  multitudes  are  beyond  the  reach  of  the 
preaching  of  the  word  or  any  of  the  ordinary  means  of  grace. 
They  can  be  touched  only  by  the  living  Missionary  going  into 
their  homes,  carrying  the  message  of  life  on  his  lips  and 
leaving  it  on  the  printed  page. 

The  only  organized  effort  put  forth  by  our  Church  thus  to 
reach  families  that  are  beyond  the  influence  of  minister,  church 
or  school,  is  the  Sabbath-school  Missionary  work  of  this  Board. 
The   Sabbath-school    Missionary   pushes   the   line   of  gospel 


1892.]  PUBLICATION    AND   SABBATH-SCHOOL   WORK.  13 

effort  to  the  very  front.  Within  the  year  past  our  Missionaries 
have  visited  08,777  families,  in  whose  houses  they  have  left 
the  gospel  of  Christ  in  the  memory  of  those  to  whom  they  have 
spoken  and  with  whom  they  have  prayed,  and  in  the  books, 
papers  and  tracts  they  have  distributed.  The  acknowledg- 
ments <>n  the  part  of  persons  thus  visited  are  at  times  quite 
pathetic.  The  instances  are  not  few  in  which  gospel  seed  iu 
book  or  tract  has  brought  forth  thirty,  sixty,  and  sometimes 
even  a  hundred  fold. 


CLOTHING    FOR    DESTITUTE    CHILDREN    DURING    THE    WINTER 
OF    1891-92. 

Many  of  our  Missionaries  made  such  representation  of  the 
Deeds  of  hundreds  of  children  who,  because  of  the  lack  of 
clothing,  were  unable  to  attend  either  day  or  Sabbath-school, 
that  an  appeal  was  issued  to  Sabbath-schools  and  the  various 
benevolent  societies  of  Presbyterian  churches  in  behalf  of  these 
destitute  little  ones.  The  response  was  prompt  and  generous. 
Boxes  and  barrels  of  clothing  were  forwarded  to  the  Mission- 
aries to  the  value  of  over  $8,000.  No  fewer  than  six  thousand 
children  and  youth  were  thus  enabled  to  attend  the  Sabbath- 
school. 

V. 

ELEVATION  AND  IMPROVEMENT  OF  SABBATH-SCHOOLS. 

The  Department  has  labored  in  this  portion  of  its  work  by 
the  following  methods  : 

1.  The  inauguration  upon  a  new  plan  of  Bible  Teachers' 
Institutes  for  teacher  training.  Its  object  is  to  establish 
in  every  Sabbath-school,  during  six  months  of  the  year,  a 
weekly  Institute,  consisting  of  all  teachers  and  other  persons 
interested  in  Bible  study  and  teaching,  who  may  promise  to 
attend  the  meetings  and  pursue  the  course  of  instruction  of  the 
Institute.  The  course  consists  of  the  study  of  the  Inter- 
national Sabbath-school  Lesson,  and  such  text  books  or  methods 
as   shall    be    furnished   by   the   Board.     A   complete    account 


14         FIFTY-FOURTH   ANNUAL   REPORT   OF   THE   BOARD   OF    [May, 

of  the  methods  and  advantages  of  this  new  form  of  teacher 
training  may  be  found  in  the  Bible  Teachers'  Guide,  which  has 
been  published  by  the  Board  as  the  text  book  of  methods  for 
the  first  year. 

2.  Special  attention  is  given  to  the  promotion  of  Synodical 
and  Presbyterial  Conventions  aud  Institutes.  The  Superin- 
tendent has  labored,  as  time  would  allow,  in  such  gatherings. 

3.  The  Department  has  continued  to  send  out  to  each  con- 
tributing Sabbath-school  a  Quarterly  Letter  written  by  the 
Missionary  to  whom  the  collections  of  that  school  have  been 
assigned  as  furnishing  part  of  his  support.  This  has  proved  to 
be  of  constant  educational  value  to  the  scholars,  enlisting  and 
holding  their  interest  in  the  missionary  work,  and  developing 
their  benevolence  toward  it. 

CATECHISM    BIBLES. 

4.  The  plan  adopted  in  1888,  of  giving  Oxford  Bibles  as 
prizes  to  all  persons  who  may  be  certified  to  the  Board,  by 
pastors  or  elders,  as  having  recited  perfectly  the  Westminster 
Shorter  Catechism,  has  been  continued.  During  the  past  year 
1,212  such  Bibles  have  been  awarded.  The  total  number  that 
has  been  awarded  since  the  inauguration  of  the  plan  is  8,315. 

UNITED   MOVEMENT   FOB   GATHERING  IN   THE  YOUTH  OF  THE 

COUNTRY. 

5.  Early  in  the  year  an  offer  was  made  to  supply  blank  books 
for  visitors,  with  printed  instructions  and  suggestions,  and  a 
supply  of  cards  of  welcome,  to  all  Presbyterian  Sabbath-schools 
that  would  undertake  the  work  of  gathering  in  the  neglected 
children  and  youth  within  their  respective  neighborhoods. 

It  was  proposed  that  each  school  should  appoint  several 
visitors,  to  each  of  whom  a  certain  locality  should  be  as- 
signed as  a  field  of  labor.  It  was  proposed  that  the  visitors 
should  personally  enter  the  homes  of  non-attendants  at  church 
and  Sabbath-school,  and  invite  them  to  attend. 

Hundreds  of  churches   have  co-operated   with   this  move- 


1892.]  PUBLICATION   AND   SABBATII-SCIIOOL   WORK.  15 

ment,  to  which  5,000  blank  books  have  been  sent,  and  50,000 
welcome  cards.  In  many  instances,  cities,  towns  and  villages 
have  been  thoroughly  canvassed  with  gratifying  results. 

The  Presbyterian  Sabbath-school  Superintendents'  Associa- 
tion of  Philadelphia  entered  earnestly  upon  the  work,  and, 
under  its  lead,  a  systematic  house-to-house  visitation  was  made 
of  a  lame  part  of  the  city. 

The  following,  taken  from  a  letter  just  received  from  a  new 
and  growing  city  in  the  West,  illustrates  the  tone  of  the 
reports : 

"About  eight  weeks  ago  you  sent  500  cards  and  visitors' 
books  for  a  Sabbath-school  canvass.  Having  charge  of  the 
Primary  Class,  I  chose  ten  ladies  who  were  doing  no  Sabbath- 
school  work,  assigned  them  a  district  each  to  be  canvassed  for 
the  purpose  of  gathering  in  primary  scholars.    The  results  are  : 

"  1.  Increased  attendance  in  the  Primary  Class,  from  25  to  81. 

"  2.  Increase  in  Sabbath-school  attendance,  from  70  to  162. 

"  3.  A  revival.  To-morrow  we  add  over  20  from  the  Sab- 
bath-school to  the  church." 

A  movement  so  fraught  with  good  should  be  continued  dur- 
ing the  six  months  beginning  next  October,  when  it  is  expected 
that  thousands  of  our  schools  will  co-operate. 


CHILDREN'S    DAY. 

6.  A  steady  growth  is  noticeable  in  the  observance  of  the 
second  Sabbath  in  June  by  our  Sabbath-schools  as  Children's 
Day.  The  educational  influence  of  this  annual  celebration  is 
of  value  in  turning  the  attention  of  the  entire  Church  to  the 
Christian  nurture  of  the  young,  thus  drawing  towards  this  im- 
portant duty  the  sympathies  and  prayers  of  all  believers. 

On  Children's  Day,  1891,  the  Sabbath-schools  contributed 
over  $43,000  to  the  Sabbath-school  and  Missionary  work  of 
this  Board. 

Taking  advantage  of  the  enthusiasm  that  belongs  to  the 
present  as  being  the  quadri-ceutennial  year  of  the  discovery 
of  America,  an  appeal  has  been  made  for  $75,000  to  be  con- 


16         FIFTY-FOURTH   ANNUAL   REPORT   OF   THE   BOARD   OF    [May, 

tributed  on  next  Children's  Day,  and  the  hope  is  strong  that 
this  enlarged  contribution  will  be  made. 

VI. 

SABBATH-SCHOOL  STATISTICS. 

The  sixth  function  of  this  Department  is  the  collection, 
preparation,  and  presentation  to  the  General  Assembly,  of  the 
Sabbath-school  statistics  of  the  Presbyteries  and  Synods. 

The  following  table  is  made  up  from  these  statistics  as  they 
appear  in  the  appendix  to  the  Minutes  of  the  last  General  As- 
sembly :  *

*  In  preparing  the  above  table  of  statistics  the  Board  has  departed  from 
its  former  custom  of  supplying  blanks  in  the  Presbyterial  Reports  from  the 
minutes  of  the  General  Assembly.  The  table  presents  the  figures  as  they 
came  from  the  Presbyteries.  In  view  of  this  change  of  procedure  in  making 
up  the  table,  no  comparison  can  be  made  with  former  reports.  In  future, 
such  comparisons  will  be  presented.

RESULTS  OF  FOUR  YEARS'   WORK. 

April  1,  1888— April  1,  1892. 

In  obedience  to  the  directions  of  the  General  Assembly  of 
1887,  the  practical  organization  of  the  Sabbath-school  and 
Missionary  Department  of  this  Board  was  completed,  and  it 
entered  upoD  its  labors,  April  1, 1888.  We  have,  therefore,  up 
to  the  1st  day  of  April,  1892,  the  period  of  four  years  in  which 
to  note  the  results  of  this  new  missionary  enterprise. 

Whilst  it  is  true  that  four  years  in  the  operation  of  this 
branch  of  the  Church's  evangelizing  activities  can  scarcely  be 
deemed  sufficient  time  for  a  complete  judgment  upon  it  from 
all  points  of  view,  they  may  enable  us  partially  to  answer  the 
question:  Has  the  wisdom  of  the  Church  in  the  formation  of 
this  arm  of  missionary  eifort  been  vindicated? 

The  following  condensed  statement  may  be  regarded  as  sat- 
isfactory: 

Babbath-echools  organized  by  Missionaries  and  under  special  offer  4,614 

Persons  gathered  into  these  schools 171,590 

Number  of  volumes  given  away 241,331 

Number  of  pages  of  tracts  and  periodicals  given  away    ....  51,419,105 

Number  of  grants  of  books,  tracts,  periodicals  and  lesson-helps    .  7,067 

Net  value  of  grants $61,254.70 

Families  visited  by  Missionaries 235,024 


RECEIPTS  AND  EXPENDITURES. 

This  Department  has  received,  for  its  current  funds,  during 
the  year,  $126,816.20,  of  which  $36,515.15  came  from  churches 
and  $48,012.12  from  Sabbath-schools;  $6,707.85  from  indi- 
vidual contributors;  $5,088.40  from  interest  on  invested  funds; 
$358.70  from  bank  interest  on  balances;  $330.76  from  profits 
on  sales  by  Missionaries ;  and  $29,803.22  from  the  Business 
Department,  being  two-thirds  of  the  net  profits  of  that  De- 
partment for  the  year.  The  receipts  were  $29,463.66  above 
those  reported  in  1891. 

The  total  expenditures  of  the  year  were  $110,167.98,  being 


18         FIFTY-FOURTH   ANNUAL   REPORT   OF   THE   BOARD   OF    [May, 

$3,209  in  excess  of  the  receipts  for  the  year  other  than  those 
contributed  by  the  Business  Department. 

An  itemized  statement  of  receipts  and  expenditures  will  be 
found  in  the  Statement  on  page  20.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS. 

During  the  year  this  Department  has  been  aided,  as  hereto- 
fore, by  the  American  Bible  Society  with  liberal  grants  of 
Bibles  and  Testaments  for  gratuitous  distribution. 

All  the  other  Boards  of  the  Church  have  manifested  toward 
us  kind  consideration.  To  the  Secretaries  and  Sy nodical  Mis- 
sionaries of  the  Board  of  Home  Missions,  whose  field  of  oper- 
ation is  largely  coterminous  with  our  own,  is  this  Department 
especially  indebted  for  valuable  counsel  and  co-operation. 

MISSIONARY  BIBLE   FUND. 

There  was  in  the  hands  of  the  Treasurer  to  the  credit  of  the 
Missionary  Bible  Fund,  April  1,1891,  the  sum  of  $255.12, 
to  which  was  added  during  the  year  $932.36,  making  a 
total  of  $1,187.48.  This  entire  sum  has  been  expended  for 
Catechism  Bibles,  under  the  order  of  the  Sabbath-school  and 
Missionary  Department.

24         FIFTY-FOURTH   ANNUAL   REPORT   OF   THE   BOARD   OF    [May, 


BUSINESS  DEPARTMENT. 


This  Department  conducts  all  the  business  operations  of 
the  Board.  Of  these  the  most  important  are,  first,  the  man- 
ufacture of  books,  tracts  and  periodicals,  and,  secondly,  the 
placing  of  the  publications  on  the  market. 


PUBLICATIONS. 

According  to  the  statement  on  p.  32  there  have  been  pub- 
lished during  the  year  917,525  books  and  tracts  and  22,052,- 
605  periodicals,  which,  together  with  8,150  copies  of  the 
annual  Report,*  make  an  aggregate  of  22,978,280  publications 
for  the  year.  There  has  been  a  decrease  in  the  publications  of 
the  year  covered  by  this  report,  of  books  and  tracts  of  392,775, 
and  au  increase  in  periodicals  of  685,406 — a  total  increase  in 
the  number  of  books,  tracts  and  periodicals  of  292,631 .  The 
number  of  copies  of  the  Annual  Report  printed  is  the  same  as 
that  of  last  year. 

PLACING   ON    THE    MARKET. 

This  work  continues  to  be  performed,  as  was  reported  last 
year,  by  advertising  in  the  leading  papers  of  our  own  and 
affiliated  denominations  throughout  the  country,  and  through 
the  agency  of  the  main  store  in  Philadelphia  and  twenty-three 
depositories  and  branch  houses,  eighteen  of  which  are  in  our 
own  land,  four  in  British  America  and  one  in  England.  These 
agencies  are  as  follows  :

These  houses,  with  the  exception  of  the  one  in  London,  fur- 
nish all  our  publications  at  the  Board's  prices. 

Our  periodicals  are  still  further  brought  to  the  attention  of 
churches  and  Sabbath-schools  by  circulars  addressed  to  Pastors 
and  Sabbath-school  superintendents.  Our  Missionaries  also 
bring  all  classes  of  our  publications  to  the  notice  of  those  who 
dwell  in  missionary  districts. 


PERIODICALS. 

Our  periodicals,  including  the  lesson-helps,  designed  prima- 
rily for  the  use  of  Sabbath-school  teachers  and  scholars,  form 
an  instrumentality  of  incalculable  power,  not  only  for  benefi- 
cially influencing  the  young,  but  for  the  general  diffusion  of 
knowledge  of  the  truth.  Since  the  introduction  of  uniform 
lessons  in  our  Sabbath-schools,  the  Westminster  Teacher  and 
other  lesson  helps  have  largely  superseded  the  use  of  Bible 
Dictionaries  and  Commentaries.  The  information  that  formerly 
3 


26         FIFTY-FOURTH   ANNUAL   REPORT   OF   THE    BOARD   OF    [May, 

had  to  be  sought  by  teachers  and  scholars  in  these  volumes  is 
now  culled  out  by  skillful  hands,  and  is  presented  week  by 
week  to  those  that  need  it  and  as  it  is  needed. 

These  periodicals  form  one  great  system  which  is  not  only  of 
inestimable  benefit  to  the  Church  at  large,  but  is  remunerative 
to  the  Board.  Several  of  them,  viz.,  Forward,  Morning  Star, 
Westminster  Primary  Lessons,  Westminster  Primary  Quar- 
terly, and  Westminster  German  Leaf,  were  published,  until 
within  two  or  three  years,  at  a  pecuniary  loss.  All  of  them, 
however,  with  the  exception  of  the  German  Lesson  Leaf,  not 
only  have  reached  a  paying  basis,  but  have  returned  profits 
which  have  been  used  toward  liquidating  the  accumulated  def- 
icits charged  against  them.  The  total  amount  of  deficit  charged 
in  the  balance  sheet  of  last  year  against  the  first  four  of  the 
above-mentioned  periodicals  was  $19,221.96  ;  the  profits  of  the 
year  on  these  publications  was  $9,566.24,  thus  reducing  the 
deficit  to  $9,655.72,  or  nearly  50  per  centum.  There  is  every 
prospect  that  in  a  few  years  these,  as  our  other  periodicals  have 
done,  will  by  their  profits  return  to  the  Board  all  that  was  ex- 
pended in  their  establishment.*  The  charges  that  remain  against 
them  respectively  will  be  found  on  the  debit  side  of  the  balance 
sheet.  They  are  retained  on  that  sheet  as  being  of  the  nature 
of  investments. 

The  case  of  the  German  Lesson  Leaf  is  peculiar.  It  was 
established  on  the  recommendation  of  the  General  Assembly 
and  as  a  missionary  enterprise.  As  there  is  no  prospect  of 
its    becoming   self-sustaining,  the  deficit   standing   against   it 

*  The  following  table  sets  forth  the  former  and  present  condition  of  the  four 
periodicals  mentioned  respectively.  It  also  serves  to  manifest  that  in  all  prob- 
ability the  charges  against  Forward  and  Primary  Quarterly  will  be  liquidated 
during  the  present  year,  and  those  against  Morning  Star  and  Primary  Lessons 
within  three  or  four  years :

($3,682.64)  has  been  charged  to  "profit  and  loss,"  and  in 
view  of  its  missionary  character  the  Sabbath-school  and  Mis- 
sionary Department  has  assumed  the  payment  of  all  future 
deficits.  The  deficit  for  the  year  covered  by  the  report  was 
$323.54. 

-ALES. 

The  sales  for  the  year  in  hooks  and  tracts  were  $104,237.87. 
This  amount,  as  it  includes  credit  sales,  does  not  agree  with  the 
Treasurer's  account,  which  account  exhibits  only  cash  received. 

The  amount  received  during  the  year  for  the  sale  of  periodi- 
cals was  $157,246.99. 

The  aggregate  of  the  preceding  sales  includes  not  only  the 
ordinary  sales  of  the  main  house  and  of  the  depositories  and 
branch  houses,  but  all  sales  made  to  the  Sabbath-school  and 
Missionary  Department  for  grants,  and  all  sales  by  Sabbath- 
Bchool  missionaries.* 

RECEIPTS   AND   EXPENDITURES. 

The  receipts  of  the  Business  Department  during  the  year 
from  all  sources,  inclusive  of  those  for  "  The  Church  at 
Home  and  Abroad"  and  the  Missionary  Bible  Fund,  were 
$299,115.11.  To  this  should  be  added  the  balance  in  the 
treasury,  belonging  to  the  Department  and  the  funds  indi- 
cated above,  April  1,  1891  ($48,195.57),  making  a  total  of 
$347,310.68.  The  expenditures  during  the  year  have  been 
$265,836.84.  The  balance  is  $81,473.84;  of  which,  as  the 
entire  amount  credited  to  the  Missionary  Bible  Fund  has  been 
expended,  $72,!'32.19  belongs  to  the  Business  Department,  and 
>il.65  to  "The  Church  at  Home  and  Abroad." 

*  The  above  statement  relates  only  t<>  amounts  received  and  credited  by  the 
Business  Department.  In  addition  to  the  amount  received  by  this  Department 
from  Sales  by  Missionaries,  the  Sabbath-school  and  Missionary  Department  re- 
oeived  $705.08  from  those  sales  (see  p.  18).  The  Business  Department  sells  all 
its  publications  t"  the  Sabbath-school  ami  Missionary  Department  at  "the 
highest  rates  of  discount  allowed  on  tlie  same  classes  of  publications  to  the  most 
favored  branch  house  in  this  country;"  the  Missionaries  are  required  to  sell, 
for  cash  only,  at  catalogue  prices  ;  the  excess  inures  to  the  benefit  of  the  latter 
Department. 


28         FIFTY-FOURTH   ANNUAL    REPORT   OF   THE   BOARD   OF    [May, 

The  discrepancy  between  the  preceding  statement  and  the 
Treasurer's  report,  in  the  totals  of  "receipts"  and  of  "bal- 
ance," is  due  to  the  facts  mentioned  in  the  following  section. 

NET    PROFITS. 

The  net  profits  of  the  year  have  been  $44,704.83.  Of  this 
sum,  two-thirds,  or  $29,803.22,  has  been  placed  to  the  credit  of 
the  Sabbath-school  and  Missionary  fund,  in  accordance  with 
the  direction  of  the  General  Assembly.  The  remaining  third, 
or  $14,901.61,  has  been  added  to  the  capital  stock. 

It  is  with  profound  regret  that  the  Board  reports  to  the  Gen- 
eral Assembly  that,  since  the  close  of  the  fiscal  year,  it  has  been 
discovered  that  the  actual  cash  of  the  Board  is  $7,431.84  less 
than  the  balance  shown  by  the  cash-book  of  the  Board.  This 
shortage  has  arisen  through  the  defalcation  of  a  subordinate,  to 
whom,  under  the  supervision  of  the  Treasurer,  the  keeping  of 
the  cash-book  has  been  intrusted. 

Inasmuch  as  the  By-Laws  of  the  Board,  under  wThich  the 
Treasurer  accepted  his  office  and  gave  bond  for  the  perform- 
ance of  his  duties,  distinctly  define  the  duty  of  the  Treasurer 
to  be  "  to  take  charge  of  the  funds  of  the  Board ;  to  demand 
and  receive  all  the  moneys  in  the  hands  of  other  persons  em- 
ployed by  the  Board,  and  to  deposit  the  same  in  such  bank  or 
other  institution  as  the  Business  Committee  may  direct,"  as 
well  as  for  other  reasons,  the  Board  does  not  doubt  the  liability 
of  the  Treasurer  and  his  sureties  for  the  proper  care  of  all  the 
funds  of  the  Board.  The  Board  has  therefore  taken  the  proper 
steps  towards  effecting  the  recovery  of  the  amount  named; 
and  believing  the  amount  to  be  collectible,  the  Board  has  not 
thought  it  necessary  to  reserve  such  amount  out  of  the  earned 
profits  of  the  year,  in  declaring  the  usual  two-thirds  dividend 
of  such  profits,  and  placing  the  same  to  the  credit  of  the  Sab- 
bath-school and  Missionary  Department. 

CONTRACTS   ON   COMPETITIVE   BIDS. 

The  third  recommendation  of  the  Special  Committee  of 
Seven  was  as  follows : 


ls!»2.]  PUBLICATION   ANI>   BABBATH-BOHOOL   WORK.  -'> 

"Third.  That  the  Assembly  approve  and  commend  the  plan  adopted  by 
the  Board  in  July  last,  of  competitive  bidding  and  contracts,  and  recommend 
its  continuance,  with  reports  from  time  to  time  to  the  Assembly." 

The  plan  thus  approved  and  commended  has  been  continued. 


CHEAP    I.IBRARJK-. 

The  fourth  recommendation  of  the  Special  Committee  was 
as  follows : 

"Fourth.  That  such  of  the  Btock  of  books,  bound  or  unbound,  the  sales 
of  which  have  been  superseded  by  more  recent  issues,  he  made  up  into 
"cheap  Libraries"  as  far  as  possiU".  and  so  far  as  proper  also  donated  to 
Sunday-schools  and  home  mission  stations,  or  any  appropriate  benevolent 
work,  with  a  view  to  reducing  largely  each  year  the  quantity  of  idle  material 
On  hand." 

It  was  found  to  be  exceedingly  difficult,  if  not  impractic- 
able, to  enter  at  once  upon  the  work  thus  indicated.  Arrange- 
ments, however,  have  been  made  for  prosecuting  it  in  the  near 
future. 

CAPITAL   STOCK. 

This,  at  the  beginning  of  the  year,  according  to  the  balance 
sheet  of  the  last  Report,  was  §516,301.25.  Acting,  however, 
under  the  fifth  recommendation  of  the  Report  of  the  Special 
Committee  of  Seven,  the  Board  reduced  the  estimate  of  said 
stock  to  $392,21 4. 33.  The  recommendation  referred  to  is  as 
follows  : 

"Fifth.  That  the  Hoard  he  authorized  to  make,  at  their  convenience,  a 
reinventorv  of  the  merchandise  and  such  other  property  as  is  included  in 
capital  stock  account,  with  a  view  to  reduction  of  the  same  to  a  cash  basis." 

The  entire  reduction  was  $124,086.92 ;  of  which  $98,691.30 
was  in  the  estimate  of  merchandise,  and  $25,395.62  in  that 
of  stereotype  plates.  A  Revised  Balance  Sheet  for  1891,  made 
up  on  the  basis  of  the  new  estimates,  may  be  found  on  p.  .">:'>. 

Attention  is  called  to  tin-  tact  that  a  large  part  of  the  capital 
Btock  is  represented  by  the  real  estate  of  the  Board,  concerning 


30         FIFTY-FOURTH   ANNUAL   REPORT   OF   THE   BOARD   OF    [May, 

which  it  is  proper  to  bring  again  to  the  notice  of  the  General 
Assembly  the  following  extract  from  the  Report  of  the  Special 
Committee  on  the  Board  of  Publication  that  was  appointed  by 
the  Assembly  of  1884,  which  Report  was  issued  to  the  Church 
by  direction  of  the  Assembly  of  1885  : 

"  The  noble  building  occupied  by  the  Board  is  not  under  its  sole  occu- 
pancy. It  is  shared  in  common  with  the  Boards  of  Education,  Ministerial 
Relief,  the  Woman's  Foreign  Missionary  Society,  the  Presbyterian  minis- 
terial brotherhood  of  Philadelphia  generally,  yet  is  kept  in  repair,  heated, 
lighted  and  its  taxes  paid  out  of  the  earnings  of  the  Board  of  Publication. 
In  this  estimate  the  choice  rooms  of  the  second  floor,  covering  the  entire 
Chestnut  Street  front,  are  occupied  by  the  Board  of  Education.  The  Board 
of  Ministerial  Belief  occupies  an  adjacent  room,  13  by  38i  feet  in  size.  A 
large  assembly-room,  occupying  the  entire  Sansom  Street  front,  is  reserved 
for  public  meetings  of  presbyteries,  ministers'  meetings  and  women's  prayer- 
meetings,  and  a  large  room  across  the  hall  is  reserved  for  committee  meet- 
ings. On  the  third  floor  two  rooms,  13  by  38J  feet  in  size,  are  occupied  by 
the  Woman's  Foreign  Missionary  Society."  [Since  the  issuing  of  the  report 
from  which  the  foregoing  paragraph  is  quoted,  a  large  room  in  the  third 
story  has  been  appropriated  to  the  Editor  of  "  The  Church  at  Home  and 
Abroad,"  and  an  additional  room  in  the  fourth  story  to  the  Board  of  Min- 
isterial Relief.]

THE  CHURCH  AT  HOME  AND  ABROAD. 

At  the  request  of  the  Committee  appointed  by  the  General 
Assembly,  the  Board  continues  to  be  the  publisher  of  "The 
Church  at  Home  and  Abroad."  The  relations  of  the  Board  to 
this  magazine  are  different,  however,  from  those  which  it  sus- 
tains to  the  other  periodicals  which  it  publishes. 

The  editor  of  the  magazine  is  selected  by  the  Assembly's 
Committee,  and  he  works  under  its  general  direction,  as  does 
also  the  Board  iteelf  in  this  particular.  The  Board  is  an  agent, 
rather  than  the  principal,  in  its  publication,  and  assumes  no 
pecuniary  responsibility  in  reference  thereto. 

No  charge  has  been  made  by  the  Board  for  anything  except 
actual  expenditures  directly  on  account  of  the  magazine,  and 
every  effort  has  been  adopted,  through  the  machinery  of  the 
Board,  to  further  the  success  of  the  enterprise. 

The  amount  of  receipts*  on  account  of  the  magazine  for  the 
year  was  $30,173.42.  The  number  of  copies  published  was 
289,204. 

A  balance  of  $8,541.65  now  stands  to  the  credit  of  this 
magazine  in  the  books  of  the  Treasurer. 

*This  includes  the  amounts  received  from   the  subscribers  aud  from  the 
several  Boards.

Twenty-Second  Annual  Report 


BOyVRD  OF  THE  CHURCH  EF^ECTIOT^  FU^D. 


To  the  General  Assembly  of  the 

Presbyterian  Church  in  the  United  States  of  America: 

With  grateful  recognition  of  the  blessing  of  God  upon  its  labors, 
the  Board  of  the  Church  Erection  Fund  respectfully  presents  its 
twenty-second  annual  report  as  follows  : 

The  past  year  has  repeated  the  well-known  story  of  mingled 
encouragement  and  disappointment ;  encouragement  because  on 
every  side  have  been  witnessed  tokens  of  the  advance  and  growing 
influence  of  our  beloved  Church  ;  disappointment  because  too  often 
advance  has  been  retarded  and  golden  opportunities  but  partially 
embraced,  because  of  the  lack  of  sufficient  means  to  meet  the  con- 
fronted emergency. 

As  new  fields  constantly  open,  the  Board  of  Home  Missions  to 
the  full  extent  of  its  resources  sends  men  to  occupy  the  ground  and 
plant  the  standard  of  our  Lord  and  Master.  It  is  the  province  of 
this  Board  to  see  that  entrenchments  are  thrown  up,  that  growing 
resources  are  conserved,  and  thus  the  field  permanently  held.  As 
it  is  the  simple  truth  that  the  progress  of  the  Church  in  multiplying 
congregations  is  more  accurately  measured  by  the  number  of  new 
church  edifices  than  in  any  other  way,  and  as  in  all  the  newer 
regions  of  our  land  it  is  the  privilege  of  this  Board  to  take  part  in 
the  building  of  the  great  majority  of  these  new  church  homes,  the 
annual  report  of  such  assistance  is  a  very  significant  indication  of 
the  successful  aggressive  work  of  the  Church.     For  this  reason  the 


4  ANNUAL    REPORT. 

Board  confidently  assumes  that  the  facts  and  figures  it  presents  will 
have  an  interest  as  something  more  than  dry  details,  both  to  the 
Assembly  and  the  Church. 

• 

THE  YEAR'S  ADVANCE. 

This  is  indicated  with  a  good  degree  of  accuracy  by  the  appli- 
cations that  come  before  the  Board.  Remembering  that  these  come 
only  from  organized  churches  that  have  manifested  a  certain  degree 
of  assured  strength,  and  that  all  applications  must  be  approved  by 
a  committee  of  the  Presbytery  as  from  fields  of  promise,  it  is  mani- 
fest that  their  number  is  a  significant  gauge  of  assured  progress  at 
least  in  the  younger  States  and  Territories. 

The  total  number  of  formal  applications  received  during  the 
year  was  for  church  edifices  171,  and  for  manses  53,  and  the  aggre- 
gate sum  asked  was  for  church  buildings  $97,240,  and  for  manses 
$21,985,  a  total  of  $119,225.  If  to  these  we  were  to  add  the  num- 
ber of  informal  requests,  most  of  which  will  eventuate  in  formal 
applications  the  whole  number  of  churches  engaged  in  building  and 
requiring,  sooner  or  later,  aid  to  complete  their  undertakings  would 
not  be  less  than  300,  nor  the  sum  needed  less  than  $150,000.  Large 
as  are  these  numbers,  they  fall  decidedly  short  of  those  of  the  two 
years  preceding,  which  were  marked  by  wonderful  advance  and 
thus  reflect  the  frequent  statements  of  our  correspondence  that 
the  year  has  been  one  of  depression  in  business  circles  and  of 
frequent  collapsing    "booms." 


THE  RESOURCES  OF  THE  BOARD. 

The  income  of  the  Board  is,  as  is  well  known,  drawn  from 
several  sources,  the  most  important  of  which,  after  the  annual  con- 
tributions of  the  churches,  are  personal  gifts,  legacies  and  interest 
upon  invested  funds;  but  it  is  evident  that  the  main  dependence 
must  be  upon  the  regular  and  systematic  offerings  of  the  congrega- 
tions. Any  serious  falling  off  from  this  source  causes  immediate 
anxiety;  and  yet  it  is  exactly  this  source  that  most  certainly  reflects 
the  encouraging  or  depressing  aspect  of  commercial  and  business 
circles.  The  shrinkage  in  average  incomes  that  is  always  conse- 
quent upon  months  of  business  depression  inevitably  affects  the 
aggregate  of  the  contributions  of  the  Church. 

The  resources  of  this  Board,  it  should  be  added,  are  also  im- 
periled, singularly  enough,  by  the  aggressive  activity  of  the  Church 


ANNUAL     REPORT.  0 

in  the  very  work  which  this  Board  was  organized  to  foster — that  of 
church  erection.  Church  extension  in  our  larger  cities  is  every 
year  attracting  more  and  more  attention  and  the  older  and  stronger 
churches  receive  constant  appeals  for  special  aid  from  the  infant 
organizations  connected  with  the  same  presbyteries.  Local  needs 
are  so  apparent,  the  claims  of  sister  churches  at  their  very  doors 
are  so  obvious  and  so  eloquent,  that  it  is  not  strange  perhaps  that 
they  should  sound  above  the  voice  of  distant  churches  appealing 
through  the  Board  of  Church  Erection. 

This  deep  interest  of  a  presbytery  in  its  own  churches  cannot 
be  too  highly  commended;  but  virtually  to  accept  the  principle  that 
nothing  can  be  given  outside  of  the  presbytery  until  the  wants  of 
all  within  are  supplied,  would  obviously  cripple  the  larger  work  of 
the  Church. 

When  brethren  vote  to  divert  to  local  needs  the  collections  for 
Church  Erection,  they  do  not  realize  that  the  same  natural  feeling 
of  sympathy  is  influencing  scores  of  others  and  in  its  results  keeping 
down  the  receipts  of  this  Board  to  a  degree  that  is  destroying  its 
ability  to  expand  its  work  as  the  growing  Church  demands.  Does 
it  need  any  great  wisdom  to  forecast  the  outcome  of  this  Board's 
work  were  the  presbyteries  generally  to  do  as  some  now  do,  and 
retain  four-fifths  of  their  offerings  for  Church  Erection  for  their 
own  use  and  then  apply  to  the  Board  for  grants  exceeding  the 
amount  of  their  own  contributions  to  its  treasury  ?  There  are 
indeed  many  presbyteries  in  our  large  cities  which  must  make 
contributions  to  the  growing  work  within  their  own  bounds  neces- 
sardy  exceeding  what  they  give  to  the  treasury  of  the  Board,  and 
instead  of  criticizing  such  liberality  the  Board  rejoices  in  it  ;  but  it 
ventures  to  ask  :  Cannot  they  while  they  do  this,  still  present  the 
claims  of  the  little  home  missionary  churches  that  are  shivering  out 
upon  the  prairies  and  on  the  mountain  slopes  ? 

In  the  statistical  tables  of  our  General  Assembly's  Minutes 
there  is  a  column  headed  ''  Church  Erection."  The  natural  conclu- 
sion of  a  reader  would  be  that  it  records  the  gifts  to  the  Church 
Erection  Board.  But,  as  is  well  known,  it  includes  very  properly 
"all  contributions  for  church  erection  outside  of  the  congregation." 
Admitting  the  paramount  importance  of  local  claims,  still  ought  the 
disproportion  between  these  gifts  and  those  to  the  Board  to  be  as 
large  as  it  is?  Last  year  more  than  82  per  cent,  of  the  amount 
included  in  this  column  was  given  elsewhere  than  to  this  Board.  A 
little  more  than  17  per  cent,  reached  its  treasury. 

As  the  local  claims  of  church  building  are  more  obvious  than 
those   of  any  other  department  represented  by  the   Boards  of  our 


b  ANNUAL    REPORT. 

Church,  so  naturally  the  discrepancy  is  greater  in  the  case  of  this 
Board  than  that  of  any  other.  Only  two  others  receive  less  than 
one-half  the  amounts  credited  in  their  respective  columns,  and  the 
actual  receipts  of  the  others  range  from  60  to  90  per  cent,  of  the 
sums  published  by  the  Assembly. 

The  Board  can  understand  the  reasons  for  this  distinction.  It 
knows  too  well  the  needs  of  Church  Extension  in  our  large  cities,  to 
be  inclined  to  murmur — but  it  does  ask: 

1.  Ought  not  its  work  to  be  at  least  presented  to  every  congre- 
gation and  a  contribution,  however  small,  made  to  its  treasury  ? 

2.  Should  it  not  be  the  aim  of  every  synod  east  of  the  Missis- 
sippi river  and  of  all  presbyteries  numbering  more  than  5,000 
communicants  to  pay  into  the  treasury  of  this  Board  at  least  as 
much  as  they  ask  it  to  return  to  them  ? 

3.  Would  it  not  be  well  that  the  large  amounts  given  as  special 
contributions  should  pass  through  the  treasury  of  the  Board  ?  Such 
contributions  sent  as  "specials"  are  immediately  forwarded  to  their 
destination  and  in  these  days  of  quick  mails,  the  delay  is  hardly 
appreciable. 

A  careful  examination  of  the  comparative  receipts  indicates 
that  the  causes  above  mentioned  largely  account  for  a  slight  falling 
off  this  year  in  the  contributions  of  the  churches  This  is  the  more 
evident  as  there  is  an  increase  of  155  in  the  number  of  contributing 
churches.  It  must  be  added  however,  that  although  the  number 
thus  slowly  increases,  it  remains  true  that  more  than  one-half  of 
the  churches  upon  our  roll,  and  probably  one-quarter  of  those  mani- 
festly prospering  in  temporal  things,  give  this  Board  no  aid. 

Among  the  receipts  of  the  year  one  unusual  item  should  be 
mentioned,  which  although  very  gratifying  does  not  at  present  in- 
crease the  working  income  of  the  Board. 

The  sum  of  $20,000  has  been  received  with  the  proviso  that 
during  the  life-time  of  the  giver  and  his  wife,  interest  upon  it  shall 
be  paid  to  them.  This  gift  has  been  made  that  in  view  of  the  un- 
certainties attending  testamentary  bequests,  the  donor  may  become 
in  a  measure  during  his  life-time,  his  own  executor.  Smaller  sums 
have  been  before  received  under  the  same  conditions,  and  this  plan 
for  ensuring  the  distribution  of  property  in  accordance  with  the 
donor's  wishes,  and  under  his  own  living  direction  is  well  worthy 
the  serious  consideration  of  thoughtful  Christian  men  and  women. 

The  working  income  of  the  Board,  including  the  small  balance 
from  last  year,  and  the  actual  receipts  was  as  follows  :

Balance  unappropriated $1,603.11

APPROPRIATIONS. 

In  making  appropriations,  the  Board  must  necessarily  take  into 
account  the  aggregate  needs  of  the  entire  field,  and  at  the  same  time 
the  relative  necessities  of  each  particular  locality.  When  this  has 
to  be  done  in  the  face  of  the  fact  that  the  resources  at  the  com- 
mand of  the  Board  are  inadequate  to  meet  the  full  measure  of  the 
demands  it  is  evident  that  in  some  cases  there  must  be  disap- 
pointment. It  has  been  an  encouragement  and  a  relief  to  the  Board 
to  know  that  in  almost  every  such  case  its  position  and  reasons 
have  been  appreciated  and  the  congregation  has  addressed  itself 
with  cheerfulness  and  vigor  to  make  up  the  unexpected  deficiency. 

1.  Churches. — Appropriations  have  been  made  during  the 
year  for  163  church  edifices. 

The  applications  which  have  thus  been  met,  have  come  from 
24  Synods,  95  Presbyteries,  and  32  States  and  Territories. 

By  far  the  most  notable  advance  has  been  in  the  newly  opened 
Territory  of  Oklahoma.  There  literally  a  nation  has  been  born  in 
a  day.  It  seemed  almost  impossible  to  send  men  enough  into  the 
newly  opened  districts  and  the  fast-growing  cities  to  keep  up  even 
the  semblance  of  church  life.  And  as  fast  as  churches  were  organ- 
ized it  was  necessary,  in  some  way,  however  rudely  and  imperfectly, 
to  provide  church  homes.  While  it  cannot  be  said  that  adequate 
provision  was  made,  yet  enough  has  been  done  to  ensure  permanent 
gospel  privileges  at  the  more  important  points,  and  from  these  as 
centres  the  work  can  be  established  in  the  fast  springing  towns  and 
villages  that  already  dot  the  entire  region.      The   immediate   result 


8  ANNUAL    REPORT. 

is  indicated  in  testimony  like  the  following  from  the  important  town 
of  El  Reno: 

"  I  think  we  have  the  largest  Presbyterian  congregation  in  Oklahoma. 
The  success  of  our  work  is  largely  due  to  you  and  the  Board  of  Church  Erec- 
tion. You  helped  us  when  we  needed  help,  you  put  us  on  our  feet  and  now 
we  have  position  and  influence.  Without  your  aid  we  would  have  been  un- 
able to  build  and  would  have  struggled  on  fighting  for  a  sure  recognition, 
now  we  have  a  place  and  a  name. 

"  Riverside  and  Westminster  were  also  granted  aid  by  your  Board. 
The  best  of  results  have  followed.  At  both  places  we  have  good  Sabbath- 
schools  and  enthusiastic  congregations.  Instead  of  three  or  four  denomina- 
tions all  without  buildings,  contending  as  to  who  shall  occupy  the  field,  our 
action  in  erecting  churches  has  pre-empted  the  ground,  and  the  people  say 
the  Presbyterian  Church  has  undertaken  to  supply  us  with  the  Gospel  and 
we  will  cast  in  our  own  lots  with  it.  No  other  denomination  has  entered 
either  place.  They  were  needy  vacant  fields,  we  occupied  them  in  the  Mas- 
ter's name.  The  community  recognizes  this  fact  and  will  show  their  gratitude 
in  loyalty  to  our  church. 

"  I  think  I  state  the  convictions  of  all  the  brethren  when  I  say  the  whole 
missionary  work  of  the  church  is  largely  dependent  upon  the  Church  Erec- 
tion Board.  It  can  be  stated  in  a  few  words.  It  is  almost  useless  to  organize 
a  Sabbath-school  unless  you  can  develop  that  school  into  a  church,  and  it 
rarely  pays  to  organize  that  church  unless  you  can  at  an  early  day  erect  for 
that  church  a  home." 

After  Indian  Territory,  including  Oklahoma,  to  which  are 
credited  18,  the  following  States  have  received  the  largest  number 
of  appropriations,  viz.:  Minnesota,  14;  California,  13;  South  Da- 
kota, 12;  Wisconsin,  11;  Iowa,  10;  Nebraska,  8;  Oregon,  6;  Indi- 
ana, 6;  and  Washington,  5. 

The  aggregate  amount  of  appropriations  for  church  edifices  is 
$83,369,  which  is  about  $3,000  less  than  last  year. 

In  addition  to  formal  appropriations,  special  gifts  aggregating 
$5,346.75  were  made  to  35  churches.  Thus  the  entire  amount 
provided  through  the  Board  for  church  edifices  was  $88,715.75 
The  payments  amounted  to  $78,400.87,  of  which  $5,346.75  were 
on  account  of  special  gifts,  and  $637.12  from  insurance  companies 
to  meet  losses  from  fire. 

2.  Manses. — The  interest  in  manse  building  seems  to  be  stead- 
ily increasing,  and  this  year  the  requests  for  loans  aggregated  more 
than  ever  before,  slightly  exceeding  even  those  of  the  first  year  of  the 
work  when  the  entire  fund  was  in  hand  to  be  distributed.  Of  the 
53  applications  asking  for  $21,985,  there  were  approved  44  to  the 
amount  of  $16,425,  an  advance  of  $1,307  upon  last  year.  Four  of 
these,  aggregating  $950,  were  absolute  grants.

RECAPITULATION. 

While  owing  to  circumstances  already  noted  there  has  been 
no  marked  enlargement  of  the  work  during  the  past  year,  yet  the 
facts  show  that  there  has  been  no  diminution  in  the  dependence  of 
our  newly  organized  churches  and  our  missionary  fields  upon  the 
aid  of  the  Board. 

The  number  of  churches  reached  in  all  departments  of  the 
work  was  252,  and  the  aggregate  amount  pledged  for  their  aid  was 
$10(5,242.87.  As  usual,  in  order  to  give  a  birdseye  view  of  the  extent 
of  the  work  and  the  breadth  of  the  field  covered,  a  map  is  appended 
with  figures  corresponding  to  the  two  lists,  alphabetical  and  synodi- 
cal,  of  the  churches  aided. 

The  aggregate  of  receipts  in  all  departments  was  $10G, 588.46 
and  the  sum  of  all  payments,  including  expenses  of  administration, 
was  $102,331.43. 

One  hundred  and  sixty-four  churches  and  manses  have  been 
reported  as  completed  without  debt  during  the  year,  through  the 
aid  of  the  Board,  and  their  aggregate  value,  given  in  the  alphabetical 
list  in  the  appendix,  is  nearly  $400,000. 

SUBSIDIARY  WORK. 

1.  Mortgages. — The  rule  of  the  Assembly  requiring  that  all 
grants  and  loans  shall  be  secured  by  mortgages  is  so  well  under- 
stood that  it  will  not  be  enlarged  upon  in  the  present  report.  The 
mortgages  are  simply  for  the  protection  of  the  capital  that  the 
Church  at  large  has  invested  in  these  new  buildings.  The  mort- 
gages draw  no  interest  and  are  payable  only  upon  the  dissolution 
of  the  Church  or  the  abandonment  of  its  property.  Any  Church, 
however,  is  permitted  to  pay  off  the  mortgage  by  its  annual  contri- 
butions to  the  Board,  provided  each  contribution  is  not  less  than 
10  per  cent,  of  the  face  value  of  the  mortgage. 

2.  Insurance  Policies. — Every  year  makes  clearer  the  wisdom 
of  the  requirement  that  the  mortgage  interest  shall  be  protected  by 
a  policy  of  insurance  against  fire.  During  the  year  $2,098.07  was 
collected  from  companies  to  compensate  for  losses  by  fire.  As  the 
Board  cannot  insure  to  an  amount  beyond  its  own  mortgage  inter- 
est, all  congregations  should  secure  additional  insurance  to  at 
least  three-quarters  of  the  value  of  their  buildings. 

:!.  Architectural  Designs. — The  new  Book  of  Designs  which 
was  announced  last  year  has  evidently  been  of  good  service.  Very 
many  copies  have  been  sent  out,  and  in  numerous  instances  the 
working  designs  and  specifications  necessary  to  complete  the  build- 


10  ANNUAL    REPORT. 

ings  have  been  procured  through   the  Board  at  a  greatly  reduced 
price. 

THE  WORK  BEFORE  US. 

It  is  one  of  the  duties  devolving  upon  the  Board  to  report  to 
each  Assembly  an  estimate  of  the  work  to  be  done  during  the  com- 
ing year.  The  future  can  be  judged  by  the  past.  From  the 
hour  of  the  inauguration  of  this  systematic  work  there  has  been  no 
cessation.  Each  year  the  field  has  enlarged  until  now  it  stretches 
across  the  entire  continent  and  embraces  every  State  and  Territory 
where  our  Church  has  a  foothold.  In  its  report  a  year  ago  it  may 
be  remembered,  the  Board  gave  statistics  carefully  gathered  of  the 
number  of  church  edifices  and  manses,  their  distribution  and  value, 
and  the  extent  to  which  there  was  still  destitution.  Not  to  repeat 
these  statistics  it  may  be  simply  said  that  nearly  12  per  cent,  of  our 
churches  are  without  buildings  and  nearly  three-quarters  without 
manses.  Suffice  it  to  add  that  as  churches  are  organized  more 
rapidly  than  buildings  are  supplied,  there  is  little  likelihood  that  the 
destitution  will  be  for  many  years  decreased. 

While  it  may  be  true  that  there  are  no  more  new  Territories  to 
enter,  it  is  none  the  less  certain  that  within  the  boundaries  of  all  the 
present  States  and  Territories,  new  fields  are  every  day  opening. 
From  old  Alabama,  where  new  mining  and  manufacturing  towns  are 
astonishing  the  country  with  their  sudden  establishment  and  phen- 
omenal growth  to  young  Alaska  revealing  its  unexpected  wealth  of 
resources,  new  churches  daily  organized  are  swelling  the  Presby- 
terian household.  It  will  require  all  the  resources  of  our  Church  to 
meet  the  demands  that  for  years  will  be  made  upon  it,  even  though 
there  be  not  many  more  reservations  like  Oklahoma,  Cheyenne 
and  Arrapahoe  to  be  flooded  in  a  day  with  an  overflowing  population. 
If  the  income  of  the  Board  were  doubled  it  could  find  abundant 
use  for  its  enlarged  resources. 

THE    LOAN    FUND. 

In  addition  to  the  work  that  for  many  years  has  been  committed 
to  it,  the  Board  has  now  to  enlarge  its  sphere  by  a  new  department. 
The  last  Assembly  took  action  directing  the  Board  "  to  invite  special 
contributions  from  Churches  and  individuals  to  establish  a  Loan 
Fund  to  be  controlled  by  the  Board  of  Church  Erection  ;  "  and  it 
directed  the  Board  to  report  to  this  Assembly  a  complete  plan  for 
the  administration  of  the  new  department  of  its  work  thus  to  be 
established. 


ANNUAL    REPORT.  11 

It  was  well  understood  that  the  Loan  Fund  thus  proposed  was 
not  intended  to  interfere  with  the  present  system  of  absolute  grants 
from  the  general  fund  contributed  annually  by  the  churches,  which 
for  thirty  years  has  accomplished  such  beneficent  results,  but  was 
to  be  supplementary  thereto  in  accordance  with  the  system  already 
in  operation  in  all  other  leading  denominations  of  the  Church. 

There  are  two  classes  of  congregations  that  apply  to  the  Board 
for  aid  :  (1)  Infant  churches  that  need  absolute  grants  to  enable 
them  to  secure,  without  burdens  imperiling  their  lives,  their  church 
homes;  and  (2)  young  churches  well  established,  but  whose  growth 
and  well-being  demand  the  erection  of  more  expensive  buildings* 
which  however  the  church  can  itself  erect  if  the  time  of  payment  can 
be  extended  over  several  years.  The  needs  of  this  latter  class,  which 
are  as  imperative  temporarily  as  that  of  the  former,  can  be  suffi- 
ciently met  by  loans  payable  in  annual  installments  either  with  or 
without  a  low  interest.  Many  such  cases,  debarred  from  borrowing 
through  the  ordinary  channels  by  the  high  rates  of  interest  demanded, 
apply  for  such  aid  to  this  Board.  This  help,  owing  to  the  many 
pressing  demands  of  congregations  of  the  former  class,  the  Board 
has  hitherto  been  constrained  to  deny.  • 

That  a  separate  Loan  Fund,  such  as  was  proposed  by  the 
Assembly  and  has  been  successively  maintained  in  other  denomina- 
tions, would  be  the  most  effective  help  in  such  cases  and  do  much 
to  advance  the  cause  of  Church  Extension*  was  beyond  doubt.  It 
must  be  confessed,  however,  that  the  question  of  obtaining  the 
funds  to  be  used  in  this  way  was  not  so  easily  answered.  Important 
as  is  such  a  department  to  the  rounding  out  of  the  work  of  the 
Board,  it  seemed  too  probable  that  months  and  years  might  elapse 
before  the  special  contributions  would  admit  of  putting  into  practical 
operation  the  excellent  plan  proposed. 

It  is  therefore  with  profound  gratitude  that  the  Board  reports 
that  under  the  will  of  the  late  Mrs.  Mary  Stuart,  of  New  York,  it  is 
made  one  of  several  residuary  legatees  of  her  estate  ;  and  there  is 
good  reason  to  believe  that  the  sum  that  will  accrue  to  it  from  the 
wise  forethought  and  far-reaching  benevolence  of  this  consecrated 
Christian  woman,  who  in  her  life-time  was  one  of  the  Board's  most 
liberal  benefactors,  will  enable  it  if  deemed  expedient  at  an  early 
date  to  inaugurate  the  work  of  the  new  department  upon  a  basis 
that  with  due  prudence  in.  administration  will  meet  the  immediate 
proper  demands. 

It  cannot  be  too  distinctly  borne  in  mind  that  as  this  bequest 
liberal  as  it  is,  will  thus  become  a  permanent  fund  for  a  special  and 
most  important  department,  there  will  be  no  less  need  than  before  for 


12  ANNUAL    REPORT. 

the  annual  contributions  of  the  churches  to  carry  on  through  the  gen- 
eral fund  the  ordinary  work  of  the  Board. 

In  accordance  with  the  direction  of  the  Assembly  of  1891,  the 
Board  herewith  submits  to  this  Assembly  the  following  plan  and 
rules  for  the  maintenance  and  administration  of  the  proposed  Loan 
Fund  : 

PLAN  AND  RULES  FOR  LOAN  FUND. 

1.  Special  contributions  shall  be  invited  from  Churches  and  in- 
dividuals to  establish  "The  Loan  Fund  of  the  Board  of  the  Church 
Erection  Fund"  which  fund  shall  be  under  the  charge  of  said  Board 
and  administered  by  it  as  hereinafter  provided. 

2.  Contributions  to  the  Loan  Fund  may  be  also  accepted  by  the 
Board,  with  the  provision  that  such  contributions  shall  be  subject  to 
the  payment  of  interest  to  the  donors  during  their  lifetime  ;  pro- 
vided, however,  that  all  amounts  so  received  shall  be  loaned  only 
upon  adequate  securities,  and  that  the  aggregate  amount  of  annual 
life-interest  that  the  Board  shall  undertake  to  pay  shall  never  be 
allowed  to  exceed  two-thirds  of  the  annual  interest  receivable  on 
the  entire  loan  fund  of  the  Board. 

3.  No  part  of  said  fund  shall  ever  be  disposed  of  by  gift  for 
any  purpose,  or  be  used  for  current  expenses,  but  it  shall  be  pre- 
served without  diminution  as  a  perpetual  fund. 

4.  This  fund  shall  be  administered  as  entirely  distinct  from  the 
general  fund  from  which  ordinary  grants  are  made. 

5.  The  Board  may  at  its  discretion  make  use  of  its  permanent 
fund  or  the  interest  accruing  therefrom  as  a  part  of  the  loan  fund, 
and  Article  VI.  of  the  plan  of  the  Board  as  re-enacted  by  the 
Assembly  of  1889  shall  be  construed  in  accordance  with  this  rule. 

6.  Conditions  of  Loaning. — Said  fund  may  be  loaned  in  small 
sums  to  such  churches  as  shall  be  proper  recipients  under  the  fol- 
lowing conditions  : 

(1)  Loans  shall  be  made  only  to  such  churches  as  give  promise 
of  permanent  life  and  strength. 

(2)  No  loan  shall  be  made  ordinarily  to  aid  in  the  erection  of 
an  edifice  costing  more  than  $10,000. 

(3)  No  loan  to  any  one  church  shall  ordinarily  exceed  either 
the  sum  of  $5,000,  or  one-half  the  value  of  the  proposed  lot  and 
edifice. 

(4)  No  loan  shall  be  made  to  any  church  which  is  not  incor- 
porated (as  provided  by  the  charter  of  this  Board),  and  which  does 
not  hold  the  title  to  its  property  in  fee-simple  and  unincumbered 
otherwise  than  to  this  Board  ;  provided  that  in  the  case  of  churches 


ANNUAL    RKPORT.  13 

building  upon  leasehold  property,  the  Board,  at  its  discretion,  if  it 
deems  the  security  sufficient  may  make  the  loan  upon  such  mort- 
gage as  the  finance  committee  and  the  counsel  may  approve. 

7.  Provisions  before  Payment. — In  the  case  of  all  such  loans  the 
following  provisions  shall  be  made  : 

(1 )  Satisfactory  proof  shall  be  given  as  to  the  title  to  the  prop- 
erty by  which  the  loan  is  to  be  secured. 

(2)  The  loan  shall  be  secured  by  the  bond  or  notes  of  the  cor- 
poration, by  a  mortgage  upon  the  property  benefited,  and  by  a 
satisfactory  collateral  personal  bond. 

(3)  Interest  at  G  per  cent,  shall  be  charged  in  all  ordinary 
cases,  payable  semi-annually. 

8.  Return  of  Loans. — (1)  Loans  shall  be  ordinarily  returned 
within  ten  years  in  annual  installments,  the  amount  of  each  annual 
installment  to  be  at  the  discretion  of  the  Board. 

(2)  In  all  cases  where  interest  and  annual  installments  are 
promptly  and  fully  paid,  the  Board  may  upon  the  final  payment 
allow  a  rebate  equal  to  one-half  of  the  aggregate  annual  interest. 

9.  Responsibilities  of  Presbyteries. — (1)  Applications  for  loans 
shall  be  endorsed  by  the  presbytery  to  which  the  church  belongs, 
or  by  its  standing  committee  upon  Church  Erection,  under  the  same 
rules,  so  far  as  applicable,  provided  for  the  administration  of  the 
general  fund. 

(2)  In  cases  of  default  in  payment  of  either  principal  or  inter- 
est, the  presbytery  or  its  committee  shall  co-operate  with  the 
Board  in  enforcing  such  payment,  and  loans  may  be  withheld  from 
churches  within  the  bounds  of  presbyteries  where  previous  loans 
or  the  interest  thereupon,  more  than  a  year  overdue,  remain 
unpaid. 

10.  Preservation  of  the  Fund. — In  order  that  the  Fund  may 
remain  undiminished,  the  Board  shall  insist  upon  promptness  in 
payment  by  the  churches  to  which  loans  have  been  made,  of  both 
principal  and  interest;  and  in  all  ordinary  cases  after  default  has 
continued  for  more  than  a  year  it  shall  take  the  proper  steps  to 
enforce  its  claims. 

In  no  ordinary  case  shall  the  Board  make  a  subsequent  grant 
from  its  general  fund  to  relieve  a  church  from  the  responsibility  of 
repaying  a  previous  loan. 

II  ECTION  OF  MEMBERS  OF  THE  BOARD.

Report  of  the  Standing  Committee  on  the 
Board  of  Church  Erection. 


The  Assembly's  Standing  Committee  on  Church  Erection  respect- 
fully presents  the  following  report : 

Among  the  agencies  which  the  Church  employs  for  extending  the 
Kingdom  of  Christ,  few  are  more  vitally  related  to  its  interests  than 
the  Board  whose  work  we  are  called  to  review.  It  is  the  right  arm 
of  all  successful  Home  Missionary  efforts  ;  and  upon  its  efficient 
administration  the  aggressive  work  of  the  Church  largely  depends. 
The  visible  church  edifice  is  an  important  factor  in  developing  the 
invisible  Church  life  ;  and  more  than  it  has  hitherto  done,  does  the 
Presbyterian  Church  need  to  emphasize  and  enlarge  this  department 
of  Christian  service. 

Like  every  other  phase  of  aggressive  Christian  activity,  the  work 
of  the  Board  is  constantly  increasing.  Urgent  appeals  for  aid  come 
to  it  from  all  quarters.  Wherever  a  new  church  is  organized  a  new 
house  of  worship  is  needed,  and  since  most  of  these  new  churches 
are  in  comparatively  destitute  localities,  help  in  rearing  their  new 
houses  of  worship  is  an  imperative  necessity.  During  the  past  year 
formal  applications  have  been  received  for  aid  in  erecting  171 
churches  and  53  manses,  the  aggregate  sum  asked  for  having  been 
$97,240  for  church  buildings,  and  $21,985  for  manses,  a  total  of 
$119,225.  Adding  to  these  the  number  of  informal  requests  pre- 
ferred, most  of  which  will  eventuate  in  formal  appropriations  the 
number  of  congregations  desiring  aid  in  the  erection  of  churches 
and  manses  would  be  scarcely  less  than  three  hundred,  and  the  sum 
required  to  meet  the  emergency  is  fully  $150,000. 

In  response  to  these  applications,  aid  has  been  granted  during 
the  year  to  103  churches  in  the  erection  of  church  buildings,  and 
to  forty-four  churches  in  the  erection  of  manses,  the  sum  of  $S3,369 
having  been  given  to  the  former,  and  the  sum  of  $16,425  having 
been  appropriated  to  the  latter.  The  number  of  churches  reached 
in  all  departments  of  the  work  has  been  two  hundred  and  fifty-two, 
and  the  aggregate  amount  placed  for  their  aid  $106,242.  One 
hundred  and  sixty-four  churches  and  manses  have  been  completed 


16  ANNUAL    REPORT. 

without  debt  during  the  year  through  the  aid  of  the  Board,  aggre- 
gating in  value,  nearly  $400,000.  These  appropriations,  moreover, 
have  been  scattered  over  twenty-four  Synods,  ninety-five  Presby- 
teries, and  thirty-two  States  and  Territories. 

Commendable  as  is  the  work  thus  accomplished  during  the  past 
year,  it  is  not  what  it  might  have  been  had  the  Church  been  more 
diligent  in  the  discharge  of  its  duty.  Like  most  other  of  our 
ecclesiastical  agencies  the  Board  of  Church  Erection  is  compelled  to 
report  a  decrease  in  its  receipts  during  the  past  year,  as  compared 
with  the  year  preceding.  The  working  income  of  the  Board  as 
reported  to  the  General  Assembly  of  1891  was  from  all  sources  and 
for  every  purpose  $L26,248,  while  during  the  year  just  closed  it  has 
been  only  $106,588. 

While  part  of  this  decrease  in  receipts  is  attributable  to  a 
falling  off  in  special  contributions  for  school  work  in  Utah,  a 
considerable  portion  is  due  to  the  indifference  and  apathy  of 
the  churches.  It  is  indeed  gratifying  to  note  the  fact  that 
one-hundred  and  fifty-five  churches  more  than  last  year  have  con- 
tributed this  year  to  the  treasury  of  the  Board  ;  but  out  of  our  six 
thousand  nine  hundred  and  ninty-two  congregations,  three  thousand 
six  hundred  and  fifteen  have  given  nothing  during  the  past  twelve 
months  in  behalf  of  this  worthy  object.  This  failure  of  more  than 
one-half  of  our  churches  to  contribute  even  a  small  amount  to  the 
funds  of  the  Board  is  absolutely  unwarrantable,  and  deserves  the 
censure  of  the  General  Assembly.  With  rare  exceptions  all  these 
churches  could  have  given  something;  and  the  contribution  of  even  a 
single  dollar  on  the  part  of  each  of  them  would  have  enabled  the  Board 
to  assist  several  needy  enterprises  which  have  now  been  compelled 
to  suffer.  Far-reaching  in  their  results  are  these  failures  of  individual 
churches  to  discharge  the  duties  which  God  and  the  Church  have 
devolved  upon  them. 

Closely  allied  to  this  cause  of  decreased  contributions  is  the 
tendency  of  the  churches  in  our  large  cities  to  contribute  to  local 
needs  at  the  expense  of  general  interests.  Church  extension  is  the 
laudable  effort  of  many  of  our  wealthier  churches  and  stronger 
Presbyteries.  All  honor  to  the  spirit  which  prompts  the  strong  to 
bear  the  infirmities  of  the  weak  in  their  own  communities.  But 
upon  these  very  churches  and  Presbyteries  is  devolved  the  duty  of 
relieving  the  necessities  of  weak  churches  in  remote  and  destitute 
neighborhoods  ;  and  while  our  large  city  churches  should  not  abate 
one  iota  of  their  zeal  for  Church  extension  at  home,  they  ought  also 
to  be  mindful  of  the  claims  on  their  contributions  of  churches  which 
are  planted  in   more  sparsely  settled  and  less  financially  endowed 


ANNUAL    REPORT.  17 

communities.  To  such  an  extent  has  this  system  of  local 
charity  come  to  prevail  that  last  year  more  than  eighty-two 
percent,  of  the  amount  reported  in  the  columns  of  our  statistical 
tables  appropriated  to  Church  erection  was  given  elsewhere  than  to 
this  Board  Only  a  little  more  than  seventeen  per  cent,  reached 
its  treasury.  The  discrepancy  in  the  case  of  this  agency  of  the 
Church  is  three-fold  greater  than  in  that  of  any  other  Board.  It 
would  seem  but  just  to  the  Church  and  the  Board  that  all  our  larger 
Synods  and  Presbyteries  should  pay  into  the  treasury  of  the  Board 
of  Church  Erection  at  least  as  much  as  they  ask  it  to  return  to  them, 
and  that  the  large  sums  given  as  special  contributions  should  pass 
through  this  organized  and  approved  agency  of  our  Church. 

In  this  connection  your  committee  is  also  compelled  to  urge 
upon  the  churches  that  have  received  aid  from  the  Board  the  im- 
portance of  returning  as  soon  as  they  are  able,  the  amount  they  have 
drawn  from  its  treasury.  The  money  given  for  this  department  of 
the  Church's  work  should  be  turned  over  as  often  as  possible,  and 
be  made  to  accomplish  the  largest  and  best  results.  If  a  church 
that  in  its  infancy  was  aided  by  the  Board,  has  grown  to  mature  years 
and  gathered  financial  strength,  it  ought  promptly  to  refund  what  it  re- 
ceived, that  other  struggling  churches  may  share  in  the  benefits  of 
the  Board's  funds.  Any  church  is  permitted  by  the  rules  of  the 
Board  to  liquidate  the  mortgage  upon  it  by  its  annual  contributions 
to  the  treasury  of  the  Board,  provided  each  contribution  is  not  less 
than  ten  per  cent,  of  the  face  value  of  the  mortgage,  and  the  Board 
also  offers  to  cancel  the  mortgage  it  holds  upon  any  church,  upon  the 
payment  at  any  one  time  of  seventy-seven  per  cent,  of  its  face  value, 
this  latter  provision  being  identical  in  intrinsic  worth  with  the 
former. 

Your  committee  notes  with  extreme  satisfaction  the  increasing 
interest  on  the  part  of  the  churches  in  the  erection  of  manses. 
While  among  our  wealthier  congregations  a  manse  is  a  source  of 
comfort  to  a  minister,  among  our  feebler  organizations  it  is  almost  a 
necessity  to  the  church.  Ordinarily  a  manse  built  and  paid  for  is  a 
partial  endowment  of  the  church.  It  counts  very  considerably  on 
the  salary  of  the  pastor,  besides  relieving  him  from  frequent  changes 
of  residence  which  imperil  his  comfort  and  impair  his  efficiency. 
We  cannot  too  strongly  approve  of  this  department  of  the  Board's 
work,  nor  too  heartily  commend  to  the  churches  the  advantages 
resulting  from  availing  themselves  of  the  provisions  offered  (or 
their  acceptance. 

In  accordance  with  the  recommendation  of  the  last  General  As- 
sembly the  Board  has  during  the  past  year  enlarged  the  sphere  of  its 


18  ANNUAL    REPORT. 

operations  by  establishing  a  Loan  Fund  to  be  employed  in  the 
assisting  in  the  erection  of  churches  not  by  absolute  grants  but  by 
temporary  loans.  In  accordance  with  the  directions  of  the  last 
General  Assembly  the  details  of  the  plan  are  set  forth  by  the  Board 
in  its  annual  report  to  the  Assembly  and  indicate  wise  forethought 
and  marked  business  sagacity.  All  over  our  country  young 
churches  are  being  organized  whose  prosperity  demands  the  erec- 
tion of  buildings  exceeding  in  expense  their  present  ability,  but  not 
their  prospective  needs.  Many  of  these  churches  are  debarred 
from  borrowing  through  the  ordinary  channels  by  the  high  rates  of 
interest  they  are  required  to  pay,  and  can  only  find  the  relief  they 
need  through  this  department  of  the  Board's  efficient  effort.  Under 
the  will  of  the  late  Mrs.  Mary  Stuart,  of  New  York,  the  Board  has 
been  made  one  of  the  residuary  legatees  of  her  estate  ;  and  there  is 
good  reason  to  believe  that  the  sum  expected  to  accrue  from  this 
source  will  constitute  a  satisfactory  nucleus  for  the  fund  which  the 
Board  has  thus  organized.  The  Church,  however,  should  by  no 
means  depend  upon  this  single  legacy  for  the  establishment  and 
maintenance  of  this  fund  ;  but  should  put  forth  strenuous  efforts  to 
secure  an  increased  basis  for  the  loans  it  proposes  to  negotiate. 
The  attention  of  those  in  our  Church  whom  God  has  gifted  with 
wealth  is  specially  called  to  this  new  phase  of  Christian  effort. 

In  concluding  this  report  your  committee  recommends  the 
adoption  of  the  following  resolutions: 

Resolved,  That  this  Assembly  heartily  approves  the  work  of  the  Board  of 
Church  Erection  as  at  present  conducted,  and  commends  it  to  the  generous 
liberality  of  all  the  churches. 

Resolved,  That  it  be  specially  urged  upon  pastors  and  sessions  to  see  thdt 
contributions  for  this  worth}-  Board  be  taken  during  the  coming  year  in  the 
churches  under  their  care. 

Resolved,  That  in  the  judgment  of  this  Assembly  not  less  than  the  sum  of 
$150,000  is  needed  for  the  work  of  the  Board  during  the  present  fiscal  year, 
and  that  strenuous  efforts  be  put  forth  to  realize  the  amount  thus  required. 

Resolved,  That  it  be  recommended  to  the  older  Synods  and  Presbyteries 
east  of  the  Mississippi  River  to  have  such  consideration  for  their  Western 
brethren  as  to  contribute  to  the  funds  of  the  Board  of  Church  Erection  more 
than  they  ask  for  from  its  treasury. 

Resolved,  That  the  claims  of  local  and  presbyterial  work  ought  not  to  pre- 
clude contributions  on  the  part  of  our  churches  to  the  general  work  of  the 
Board,  and  that  special  contributions  should  so  far  as  practicable  pass 
through  its  treasury. 

Resolved,  That  the  Manse  Fund  is  an  important  element  in  ihe  work  of  the 
Board;  and  that  while  pastors  and  sessions  are  urged  to  support  it,  and 
churches  are  recommended  to  avail  themselves  of  iis  benefits,  its  interests 
and  advantages  are  specially  commended  to  the  Christian  women  of  tha 
Presbyterian  Church. 


ANNUAL    REPORT.  19 

Resolved,  That  this  Assembly  approve  the  plan  for  the  Loan  Fund  sub- 
mitted by  the  Board  in  its  Annual  Report,  and  commends  this  new  depart- 
ment of  effort  to  the  confidence  and  support  of  the  churches. 

Resolved,  That  the  minutes  of  the  Hoard  for  the  past  year  be  approved. 

Resolved,  That  the  following  members  of  the  Board,  whose  terms  of  office 
expire  at  this  time,  be  nominated  to  the  Assembly  for  re-election: 

Ministers,  Reverends  John  Hall,  D.D.,  C.  Cuthbert  Hall,  D.D.,  Howard 
Duffield,  D.D.;  and  Elders  Frederick  G.  Burnham,  E.  Francis  Hyde,  Joseph 
L.  Munn,  John  Sinclair;  and  that  the  Rev.  John  Reid,  D.D.,  be  nominated 
in  place  of  Rev.  Richard  D.  Harlan,  whose  removal  from  New  York  renders 
it  desirable  that  the  vacancy  thus  created  be  filled. 

Respectfully  submitted, 

john  McClelland  holmes,

The  design  represented  on  this  and  the  preceding  page  is  of  a 
church  built  at  Kast    Aurora,  New  York. 

The  main  audience  room  is  nearly  square  (45  x  42),  and  the 
Sunday-school  room  is  38  \  '>l.l  in  size. 

It  is  so  arranged  that  the  whole  building  can  be  thrown  together. 
if  necessary,  into  one  large  room,  accommodating  about  500  people. 

The  main  auditorium    done  will  seat  240. 

The  building  is  handsomely  finished  in  oak  and  its  cost,  ((in- 
structed of  wood  and  unfurnished,  is  $7,950. 

If  stone  is  used,  as  in  the  original  design,  the  expense  will  of 
course  be  greater  and  depend  upon  tin  location  and  the  facilities 
for  procuring  the  material.

Upon  this  and  the  next  three  pages  we  give  a  design  that  repre- 
sents how  a  commodious  building,  roomy  and  complete  in  itself,  can 
become  the  chapel  of  a  large  church,  when  such  is  needed,  and 
provide  for  even  further  extension  in  the  future.  The  church  has 
been  erected  at  Orange,  N.  J  ,  and  is  particularly  adapted  to  the 
needs  of  growing  surburban  towns.  The  building  as  originally 
erected  provides  a  main  audience  room  42  x  45,  and  seating  V50. 
Its  special  features,  as  seen  upon  the  plan  upon  the  next  page,  are 
the  church  parlor  and  the  pastor's  study,  at  opposite  ends,  but  both 
opening  by  sliding  doors  into  the  main  room.  A  room  for  an 
infant  class  is  over  the  study,  with  floor  slanting  so  as  to  permit  the 
room  to  be  in  full  communication  with  the  main  room.  The  build- 
ing, including  all  its  rooms,  is  designed  to  seat  400,  and  cost  about 
$5,500,  but  it  is  evident  that  the  same  general  plan  could  be  fol- 
lowed upon  a  smaller  scale.  Upon  page  48,  we  give  the  entire  structure 
as  now  completed,  with  its  large  and  beautiful  audience  room 
78  x  72,  seating,  as  at  present  arranged,  600.  A  screen  separates 
the  last  pews  from  the  open  space  behind  them,  which  thus  becomes 
in  a  measure  an  ante-room.  If  needed,  the  space  can  be  filled  with 
additional  pews,  seating  1(0. 

It  would  be  possible  indeed,  should  the  necessity  arise,  to  open 
the  entire  chapel  into  the  church,  making  an  audience  room  seating 
1,000.     The  floor  slants  slightly  towards  the  pulpit. 

The  church  is  built  of  brick  as  high  as  the  windows,  the  gables 
being  finished  in  Portland  cement. 

The  architect  of  the  original  chapel  is  Mr.  J.  J.  Marsh,  of 
Orange.  The  main  building  was  designed  by  Messrs.  Rossiter  & 
Wright,  of  New  York.

ACTION  OF  THE  GENERAL  ASSEMBLY. 
At  Portland,  Oregon,  May  230,  1892. 


The  Report  of  the  BDard  of  Ministerial  Relief,  and 
the  manuscript  volume  of  its  Minutes  for  the  year  ending 
April  30th,  1892,  were  presented  to  the  General  Assembly  at 
Portland,  May,  1892.  These  were  referred  to  the  Assembly's 
Standing  Committee  on  Ministerial  Relief,  consisting  of  the 
following  Commissioners: — 

Ministers : — Thomas  H.  Robinson,  D.  D  ,  Chairman,  Wil- 
liam W.  Totheroh,  D.  D.,  Charles  Little,  D.  D.,  George  S. 
Woodhull,  D.  D.,  George  Carpenter,  Reuben  H.  Van  Pelt, 
William  F.  Whitaker,    Henry  A.   Mullen. 

Ehiers : — Emmett  B.  Russell,  Andrew  Porter,  Charles  G. 
Goss,  William  A.  Jessup,  James  D.  Bell,  William  W.  Johnston, 
M.  D.,  Cornelius  K.  Conger. 

The  Report  of  the  Committee,  unanimously  adopted  by  the 
Assembly,  was  made  at  the  close  of  the  afternoon  session  on 
Monday,  May  23d,  and  is  as  follows:  — 

The  Committee  of  the  Assembly  to  which  were  referred  the 
Minutes  and  the  Thirty-seventh  Annual  Report  of  the  Board  of 
Ministerial  Relief  report  that  they  have  carefully  examined  them. 
The  Minutes  have  been  kept  with  great  neatness  and  accuracy 
and  their  approval  is  recommended.  An  examination  of  the  An- 
nual Report  gives  abundant  reason  for  gratefulness  to  God  for 
the  measure  of  success  that  has  attended  the  work  of  the  Board 
for  the  last  ecclesiastical  year.  The  year  has  evidently  been  one  of 
diligent  and  faithful  service  on  the  part  of  those  to  whom  the 
Church  has  committed  thisdepartment  of  her  benevolent  activities. 

The  Committee  call  the  attention  of  the  Assembly  to  the 
following  statements  drawn  from  the  history  of  the  Board  during 
the  past  year.  Presbyterial  recommendations  for  aid  were  re- 
ceived from  168  Presbyteries.  The  number  on  the  Roll  of  the 
Board  to  whom  remittances  were  sent  during  the  year  ending 
April  1,  1S92,  was  682.  To  these  must  be  added  iS  families 
provided  for  during  the  year  at  the  Ministers'  House  at  Perth 
Amboy,  N.  J.,  in  lieu  of  receiving  a  remittance  in  money, 
making  a  total  of  700  families  upon  the  Roll  of  the  Board  during 
the  past  year,  an  increase  of  41  over  last  year. 


The  number  of  families  upon  the  Roll  of  the  Board  has 
steadily  increased  since  the  year  1886,  being  now  nearly  200 
larger  than  at  that  date.  The  number  of  persons  who  have 
shared  in  the  appropriations  made  by  the  Board  to  the  700 
families  aided  may  be  estimated  at  not  less  than  2500. 

During  the  year,  one  hundred  and  ten  new  names  were 
added  to  the  Roll;  that  is,  fifty-nine  ministers,  forty-eight 
widows  and  three  orphan  families. 

During  the  same  time,  fifty-eight  were  removed  from  the 
Roll  by  death,  forty-five  ministers,  twelve  widows  and  one 
orphan.  A  few  others  who  no  longer  needed  the  help  of  the 
Board  have  withdrawn  their  application  for  aid. 

The  apparently  large  increase  in  the  number  of  applications 
for  aid  since  1886  is  due  in  large  measure  to  the  wise  action  of 
the  Assembly  of  1889,  which  entitles  every  honorably  retired 
minister  over  70  years  of  age,  who  is  in  need  and  has  served 
the  Church  as  pastor,  stated  supply,  or  missionary,  for  a  period 
of  not  less  than  30  years,  to  draw  from  the  Board  an  Annual 
sum  for  his  support.  There  are  now  upon  the  Roll  of  the  Board 
68  venerable  men  who  are  receiving  from  $250  to  $300  for 
their  support  in  their  helpless  old  age.  The  entire  sum  appro- 
priated to  these  aged  servants  of  God  and  his  Church,  during 
the  past  year  was  $18,300,  only  an  average  of  $269  to  each  family. 
The  patriarch  in  this  Company  is  in  his  92d  year;  twenty-eight 
are  over  80;  the  average  age  is  over  76,  and  the  average 
number  of  years  spent  in  the  ministry  is  nearly  48.  The 
Church  should  deem  it  a  great  privilege  to  brighten  with  her 
gifts  the  last  days  of  these  servants  of  Christ. 

The  income  of  the  Board  from  all  sources  during  the  past 
year  was  5161,714.43  and  is  the  largest  income  the  Board  has 
ever  received.  Of  this  amount  $92,026.47,  came  in  contribu- 
tions from  churches  and  Sabbath- schools,  and  $11,817.65  from 
individuals,  making  a  total  from  the  Church  of  $103,844.12. 
The  remainder,  $57,870.31,  was  from  the  income  of  the  Per- 
manent Fund,  interest  on  Bank  deposits  and  miscellaneous  re- 
ceipts. It  is  a  matter  of  sincere  regret  to  report  that  the  enlarged 
income  of  the  year  is  wholly  due  to  an  increase  in  the  Perma- 
nent Fund.  The  contributions  from  the  Churches  have  fallen  off 
$2,092.80  and  from  individuals  $2,578.89,  a  total  of  $4,671.69. 
While  it  may  be  deemed  a  matter  of  congratulation  that  the 
result  of  the  operations  of  the  year  is  a  balance  of  $4,965.87, 


Ill 

which  with  the  amount  left  in  the  treasury  at  the  close  of  last 
year  gives  a  good  working  balance  to  carry  the  Board  through 
the  Summer  months,  we  call  attention  to  the  fact  that  needs  to 
be  emphasized  and  remembered,  that  the  average  appropriation 
to  each  family  aided  by  the  Board  from  the  contributions  of 
the  Church  alone  has  fallen  from  $199  in  1886  to  $148  in  189 1, 
a  decrease  of  $51  per  family.  But  for  the  supplemental  aid  from 
the  income  of  the  Permanent  Fund,  the  beneficiaries  of  the 
Church  would  have  been  in  straits.  The  benevolence  of  the 
Church  is  not  keeping  pace  with  enlarging  demands,  nor  with  her 
augmenting  ability  to  give. 

We  remind  the  Assembly  of  the  following  facts  :  First,  That 
whilst  the  membership  and  the  wealth  of  the  Church  have 
greatly  increased  during  the  past  four  years,  the  contribution  of 
the  Churches  to  this  cause  during  the  past  year  is  but  $26 
above  the  average  for  the  four  years.  With  all  her  increasing 
power  of  numbers  and  of  wealth,  the  beneficence  of  the  Church 
stands  four  years  in  arrear  of  the  times. 

Secondly,  we  note  the  fact,  upon  which  comment  is  surely 
unnecessary,  that  more  than  one-half  of  our  churches  are  re- 
ported as  having  utterly  failed  to  contribute  anything  to  this 
noble  beneficence.  The  contributing  churches  number  3,266; 
the  non-contributing,  3,552. 

The  total  amount  drawn  out  by  the  Presbyteries  from  the 
treasury  of  the  Board,  exceeds  the  contributions  from  the 
churches  by  the  large  sum  of  544,725.43.  This  sum  indicates 
the  amount  of  relief  from  present  duty  and  privilege  the 
church  of  to-day  is  receiving  annually  from  the  gifts  of  gener- 
ous men  and  women  in  the  past  through  their  endowment  of 
a  Permanent  Fund.  Our  Board  of  Ministerial  Relief  might 
justly  and  unfortunately  be  called  a  Board  of  Church  Relief.  It 
is  one  of  the  results  of  past  generosities  that  the  income  of  the 
Permanent  Fund  serves  to  relieve  the  Church  of  to-day  from 
both  obligation  and  privilege.  This  evil  should  be  corrected 
as  promptly  as  possible.  The  Permanent  Fund  will  prove,  as 
similar  funds  have  done  in  the  past,  a  curse  to  the  Church,  so 
far  as  it  checks  the  generosity  of  the  people  of  God.  Each 
generation  needs  the  burdens  God  puts  upon  it.  It  should 
take  care  of  its  own.  The  Endowment  Fund  of  this  Board 
was  not  intended  to  encourage  Christian  people  of  any  suc- 
ceeding  age  to  cast  from    their  minds   and    hearts   the   divine 


IV 

burden  of  loving  and  caring  for  those  servants  of  the  Church 
who  have  worn  themselves  out  for  her  welfare.  The  Church 
needs  these  claimants  on  her  love  and  help  far  more  than  they 
need  her. 

Past  Assemblies  have  urged  the  use  of  special  means  to 
teach  and  persuade  Christian  people  to  bear  this  cause  upon 
their  minds  and  hearts.  The  people  still  need  to  see  more 
clearly  and  to  feel  more  deeply  their  duty  in  this  matter.  Your 
Committee  would  call  the  attention  of  Pastors  and  especially, 
the  large  body  of  our  intelligent  Ruling  Elders  to  the  efficient 
work  they  may  do  both  in  the  instruction  of  the  people  and  in 
securing  their  offerings  for  these  servants  of  God,  to  whom 
nothing  now  remains  but  to  pray  and  wait. 

Our  Presbyteries  need  the  gentle  reminder  that  this  Board 
works  under  strictly  defined  limitations,  imposed  by  the  Assem- 
bly. It  cannot  care  for  all  the  poor  in  the  Church.  It  exists 
to  relieve  disabled  ministers  and  the  widows  and  orphans  of  de- 
ceased ministers.  Its  beneficent  aid  is  not  general  but  particu- 
lar. In  making  their  recommendations  for  aid,  the  Presby- 
teries should  remember  the  fair  and  usual  limitations  that  are 
given  to  the  meaning  of  the  terms  that  define  the  Applicants  for 
the  aid  of  the  Church. 

It  has  been  customary  in  the  past  for  the  Assembly  to  com- 
mend to  the  Church  the  contribution  of  a  specific  sum  during 
the  ensuing  year. 

Your  Committee  recommends  the  adoption  of  the  following 
resolutions  : 

First.  That  the  General  Assembly  heartily  appreciates  and 
commends  the  energy  and  the  fidelity  of  the  Board  of  Minis- 
terial Relief  and  its  honored  Secretary  during  the  past  year. 

Secondly.  It  commends  anew  to  the  whole  Church  the 
impressive  claims  of  this  Board,  and  calls  upon  every  pastor, 
and  stated  supply,  and  church  session,  to  see  to  it  that  the  cause 
represented  by  this  Board  be  fully  and  faithfully  presented  to 
the  people,  and  that  their  offerings  for  it  be  earnestly  sought. 

Third.  That,  in  harmony  with  the  recommendation  of  past 
Assemblies,  this  Assembly  earnestly  recommends  that  the  gifts 
from  the  churches  and  Sabbath-schools  and  from  individuals  be 
raised  to  a  sum  not  less  than  one  hundred  and  fifty  thousand  dollars. 

Fourth.  The  term  of  service  of  the  following  members  of 
the  Board  expires  with  the  present  Assembly  :  Rev.  Henry  E. 
Niles,  D.  D.,  Rev.  Wm.  M.  Paden,  Geo.  Junkin,  Esq.,  and  A. 
Charles  Barclay,  Esq.  We  recommend  their  re-election  for  the 
usual  term  of  three  years. 


ANNUAL  REPORT 

TO  THE 

GENERAL  ASSEMBLY, 

OF 

May,  1892. 


The  Presbyterian  Board  of  Relief  for  Disabled  Min- 
isters, and  the  Widows  and  Orphans  of  Deceased  Ministers, 
respectfully  presents  to  The  General  Assembly  its  Thirty-seventh 
Annual  Report.  The  Book  of  Minutes  containing  the  proceed- 
ings of  the  Board  for  the  year  from  April  i,  1891,  to  April  1, 
1892,  is  also  herewith  presented. 

THE    ROLL. 

The  number  on  the  Roll  of  the  Board  to  whom  remittances 
were  sent  upon  the  recommendation  of  the  Presbyteries  during 
the  year  from  April  1,  1891,  to  April  1,  1892,  was  682  :  that  is, 
ministers,  287  ;  widows  of  ministers,  362  ;  orphan  families,  31  ; 
one  woman  "  who  has  given  herself  to  missionary  work  under  the 
care  of  the  Home  or  Foreign  Board  for  a  period  of  not  less  than 
five  years,"  (see  printed  minutes  of  the  General  Assembly,  1888, 
page  33 )  and  one  widow  of  a  Medical  Missionary.  (See  printed 
Minutes  1889  page  32).  The  number  of  families  provided  for 
during  the  year  at  the  Ministers'  House  at  Perth  Amboy,  N.  J., 
in  lieu  of  receiving  a  remittance  in  money,  was  18,  making  upon 
the  Roll  of  the  Board  during  the  past  year  a  total  of  700  families, 
an  increase  of  41  over  last  year. 

It  should  be  borne  in  mind  that  there  are  more  than  700 
persons  who  share  in  these  appropriations.  These  families  are  often 
composed  of  aged  couples  ;  or  the  minister,  laid  aside  from  his 
active  duties,  may  have  a  wife  and  children  to  support.  There 
are  also  many  families  composed  of  a  dependent  widow  with 
little  children  to  be  cared  for. 

The  Presbyterial  recommendations  in  their  behalf  came  from 
168  Presbyteries.  The  Presbytery  of  West  Africa  recommends 
three  families.     The  Missionaries  who  have  returned  home  from 

3 


the  foreign  field,  and  who  may  need  help  in  their  sickness  or  old 
age,  are  of  course  recommended  by  the  Presbyteries  with  which 
they  are  connected  in  this  country. 

WITHDRAWALS    FROM    THE    ROLL. 

Besides  several  withdrawals  from  the  Roll,  owing  to  a  change 
in  pecuniary  circumstances  or  restored  health  which  has  rendered 
further  aid  from  the  Board  no  longer  necessary,  fifty-eight  names 
have  been  removed  from  our  roll  by  death — that  is,  forty-five 
ministers,  twelve  widows,  and  one  orphan.  The  death  of  the 
head  of  the  family,  however,  does  not  always  withdraw  the  family 
from  the  Roll  of  this  Board.  In  many  cases  the  helpless  widow, 
or  the  orphan  children  are  still  to  be  provided  for. 

ADDITIONS   TO   THE    ROLL. 

There  have  been  one  hundred  and  ten  names  added  to  the 
Roll  during  the  year ;  that  is,  fifty-nine  ministers,  forty-eight 
widows,  and  three  orphan  families. 

THE     NEW    RULE    OF    THE    ASSEMBLY. 

There  are  now  upon  the  roll  of  the  Board  68  ministers  who 
have  applied  for  aid  under  the  new  rule  of  the  Assembly  which 
provides  that :  "  Every  honorably  retired  minister  over  70  years 
of  age,  who  is  in  need  and  who  has  served  our  church  as  a  mis- 
sionary of  the  Home  or  Foreign  Board  or  as  a  pastor  or  stated 
supply  for  a  period  in  the  aggregate  of  not  less  than  30  years, 
shall  be  entitled  by  such  service  to  draw  from  the  Board  of  Min- 
isterial Relief  an  annual  sum  for  his  support,  without  the  neces- 
sity of  being  annually  recommended  therefor  by  the  Presbytery." 

The  maximum  sum  to  be  paid  by  the  Board  upon  such  appli- 
cation, was  fixed  by  the  Assembly  at  $300,  and  fifty-one  out  of 
these  sixty-eight  venerable  men  have  certified  to  the  Presby- 
tery that  they  were  in  need  of  this  sum.  annually  for  their  sup- 
port in  their  helpless  old  age.*  The  others  applied  for  sums 
ranging  from  two  hundred  to  two  hundred  and  fifty  dollars. 
The   entire  annual  sum  appropriated  to  these   sixty-eight  aged 

*  Blank  forms  for  this  Application  under  the  New  Rule  may  be  had  on  applica- 
tion to  the  office  of  the  Board.  The  General  Assembly  has  made  it  the  duty  of  the 
Stated  Clerk  of  Presbytery  in  forwarding  these  Applications  to  the  Board,  "  with  his 
endorsement  thereon  as  to  the  years  of  service  such  minister  has  rendered,  his  field 
or  fields  of  labor,  with  the  term  of  service  in  each,"  to  "  certify  also  that  the  same 
has  been  reported  to  Presbytery  and  is  recorded  upon  its  minutes."  See  Minutes 
of  the  Assembly,  1891,  page  44. 


ministers  amounted  to  $18,300 — or,  only  an  average  of  a  little 
more  than  $269  to  each  family.  The  oldest  of  them  is  in  his 
ninety-second  year;  twenty-eight  are  over  eighty.  The  average 
age  is  over  76,  and  the  average  number  of  years  spent  in  the 
ministry  is  nearly  48. 

During  the  three  years  in  which  this  New  Rule  of  the  Assem- 
bly has  been  in  operation,  the  whole  number  of  ministers  enrolled 
upon  this  list  is  eighty-nine.  Twenty-one  have  been  called  to 
their  reward  on  high,  leaving  the  present  number  as  given  above 
viz.,  sixty-eight. 

THE    MINISTERS*    HOUSE. 

In  addition  to  the  guests  at  the  Ministers'  House  (see  page 
3)  recommended  by  the  Presbyteries,  there  have  been  a  number 
during  the  year  who  have  resided  temporarily  at  The  House  at 
their  own  charges,  while  recuperating  their  health.  So  long  as 
the  rooms  may  not  be  wanted  by  those  for  whom  The  House  is 
specially  designed,  its  advantages  are  offered  to  ministers  who 
may  need  its  quiet  and  rest,  but  who  do  not  wish  to  be  a  charge 
to  the  Church. 

The  Board  have  so  often  called  the  attention  of  the  Assem- 
bly to  this  Home  for  the  aged  servants  of  the  Church  that,  for 
general  information  upon  the  subject,  they  beg  leave  to  refer  to 
their  Annual  Reports — especially  to  the  extended  notice  of  The 
House  which  appeared  in  The  Church  at  Home  and  Abroad, 
which  has  been  reprinted  in  pamphlet  form  and  will  be  sent  to 
anyone  wishing  a  copy. 

During  the  past  year  the  responsible  duties  of  Superinten- 
dent have  been  discharged  by  Mrs.  Clark  with  the  same  fidelity 
and  efficiency  that  characterized  the  management  of  her  pre- 
decessor. The  Committee  of  the  Board  having  the  special  care 
of  The  House  have  assured  themselves  by  frequent  visits  that  the 
honored  guests  greatly  enjoy  and  appreciate  its  comforts.  Their 
own  observation  is  abundantly  confirmed  by  the  testimony  of 
brethren  who  have  also  visited  The  House,  with  a  view  of 
personally  examining  its  arrangements  and  general  management. 
Rev.  Teunis  S.  Hamlin,  D.  D.,  pastor  of  the  Church  of  the 
Covenant,  Washington  City,  and  Chairman  of  the  General 
Assembly's  Standing  Committee  upon  Ministerial  Relief  in  1889, 
made  last  month  such  a  visit   to  the  Home  and  (by  his  permis- 


sion)  the  following  extract  is  given  from  a  personal  letter  written 
by  him  to  the  Secretary. 

I  went  to  Perth  Amboy  on  Tuesday  last,  in  the  interest  of  my  venerable 
and  beloved  friend,  of  v.*hom  I  wrote  to  you.  I  had  a  most  satisfactory 
interview  with  Mrs.  Clark,  who  seems  peculiarly  adapted  for  her  important 
and  delicate  position.  I  saw  all  the  arrangements  of  the ''House,"  which 
far  exceeded  my  previous  impressions  of  their  comfort.  It  seems  to  be 
admirably  managed  to  secure  the  convenience  and  happiness  of  its  honored 
guests. 

Frequent  letters  of  like  appreciation,  both  of  The  House 
and  of  its  Superintendent,  also  reach  the  Board  from  the  guests 
themselves.  An  eminent  pastor  and  scholar  who  has  recently 
left  the  Home,  after  a  sojourn  of  several  months,  writes  : 

My  sojourn  in  this  blest  retreat  has  indeed  been  a  privilege  and  bless- 
ing to  me  in  many  respects.  When  I  first  came  here,  I  regarded  myself  as  an 
utterly  broken  down  man,  incapable  of  any  pulpit  work  and  scarcely  able  to 
use  my  brain  and  pen.  But  very  soon,  from  these  healthful  surroundings  and 
genial  influences,  I  began  to  recuperate,  so  that,  as  health  and  strength 
returned,  I  was  enabled  to  do  considerable  literary  work.  With  thankfulness 
to  God  for  my  partial  recovery,  not  expecting  at  my  age  to  be  thoroughly 
well,  I  shall  take  my  departure  in  a  few  days.  The  rest  and  quiet  here, 
with  the  library,  have  enabled  me  to  do  some  intellectual  work  which 
I  trust  may  be  of  some  value  to  me  in  the  future.  In  spirit  I  have  been 
blest  by  converse  with  those  whose  thoughts  are  mostly  of  divine  things. 
Altogether,  then,  my  sojourn  here  has  been  very  satisfactory.  My  aged 
brethren  are  all  of  them  deeply  grateful  for  the  privileges  they  enjoy  here  and 
invariably,  in  their  prayers,  express  gratitude  to  God  for  them.  It  has  been 
said  that  it  would  cost  the  Board  much  less  to  give  each  one  a  stipend  and  let 
him  find  a  home  for  himself  elsewhere.  But  this  would  be  only  to  send  the 
weary  and  lonely  ones  adrift  amid  cheerless  boarding-houses  and  unsympathetic 
people.  Here  they  find  a  real  home  and  true  friends,  regarding  themselves  as 
brothers  in  one  kindred  household.  The  home  feeling  here,  is  very  strong  and 
comforting. — Our  superintendent  is  an  active,  efficient,  and  sympathetic  lady, 
bearing  with  the  infirmities  and  ministering  to  the  necessities  of  all. 

The  reference  in  this  letter  to  the  "home  feeling"  which 
pervades  the  House  is  a  significant  tribute  to  the  character  of 
the  honored  Guests* ;   and  it  is   the  constant  endeavor  of  the 

*  These  Christian  men  and  women  are  not  unmindful  of  the  Scripture  injunction 
to  "  bear  one  another's  burdens."  Those  who  are  comparatively  strong  and  well 
delight  to  make  the  sacrifice  of  their  own  comfort  in  kindly  ministrations  to  the  sick 
and  helpless.  Some  "friction"  would  seem  unavoidable,  owing  to  unfortunate 
peculiarities  of  disposition  which  may  exist  in  the  best  of  God's  people,  and  which 
if  anywhere  will  manifest  themselves  in  such  a  large  family,  where  frequent  daily 
contact  cannot  and  ought  not  to  be  avoided;  but  it  maybe  safely  said  that  the 
refined  culture  characteristic  of  ministers  and  their  families  has  at  the  Ministers' 
House  reduced  this  friction  to  a  minimum. — From  an  article  upon  the  House  in  The 
Church  at  Home  and  Abroad,  May,  i8Sg. 


Board  to  make  these  servants  of  the  Church  feel  that  they  are 
members  of  a  Christian  household,  rather  than  inmates  of  an 
"  Institution." 

Another  of  the  guests  who  has  for  several  years  also  "so- 
journed in  this  blest  retreat,"  gratefully  refers  in  a  recent  letter 
to  her  "  many  comforts  and  blessings"  and  adds  :  — 

I  have  no  other  home  in  the  world,  no  other  place  where  I  could  be 
cared  for ;  so  that  it  means  a  great  deal  to  me  in  my  feebleness,  and  it  is  my  de- 
sire to  show  my  appreciation  and  gratitude  in  every  way  I  can.  This  would 
be  incomplete  if  I  did  not  speak  of  Mrs.  Clark's  kind  care  and  sympathy  with 
me  in  my  affliction,  for  which  I  cannot  be  too  thankful.  She  is  doing  every- 
thing in  her  power  to  make  us  happy  and  comfortable,  and  I  am  every  day 
learning  to  appreciate  and  love  her  more  and  more. 

THE    TREASURY. 

The  entire  income  of  the  Board  during  the  past  year,  as  will 
be  seen  from  the  Treasurer's  statement,  page  14,  amounted  to 
$161,714.43.  This,  of  course,  includes  the  interest  from  the 
Permanent  Fund  as  well  as  the  contributions  from  Churches, 
Sabbath-schools  and  individuals,  and  is  the  largest  income  the 
Board  has  ever  received.  But  the  following  comparative  table 
will  show  that  this  is  due  to  our  enlarged  Permanent  Fund — the 
contributions  during  the  past  year  having  fallen  off  $4,671  from 
those  of  the  previous  year.

While  the  income  of  the  Board  last  year  was  the  largest  it 
has  ever  received,  its  expenditures  have  also  exceeded  those  of 
any  previous  year.  This  is  due  to  the  increase  in  the  number  of 
families  on  our  roll — forty-one  more  than  we  reported  to  the 
mbly  in  Detroit.  The  "Office"  expenses  have  remained 
about  the  same — $105  more  than  last  year. 


8 

The  result  of  the  operations  of  the  year  is  a  balance  of 
$4,965.87*,  which  is  $1,132.09  more  than  that  of  last  year. 
While  the  Board  gratefully  report  the  fact  of  this  increased 
balance — after  responding  to  the  appeals  from  the  Presbyteries  on 
behalf  of  700  families,  sending  in  full  the  amount  asked  for  in 
each  case — the  attention  of  the  Assembly  and  of  the  churches 
should  be  called  to  the  falling  off  in  contributions.  The  total 
of  these,  from  churches,  Sabbath  schools  and  individuals,  is  less 
than  that  which  we  have  reported  each  year  to  the  Assembly 
since  1886  when  the  preparations  were  begun  for  the  Centennial 
year.  During  the  Centennial  year  itself,  although  the  interest  of 
"Individual  Donors"  was  mainly  concentrated  upon  the  Perma- 
nent Fund,  the  total  of  their  contributions  came  to  within  four 
dollars  of  that  received  last  year,  while  the  "  Collections"  from 
churches  and  Sabbath  schools  amounted  to  $98,922.  The  very 
next  year  these  Collections  fell  off  to  $93,178.  This  was 
generally  explained  as  a  temporary  reaction  from  the  effort  on 
behalf  of  the  Centenary  Fund,  but  the  collections  have  remained 
very  near  that  figure  ever  since — in  1891  a  little  above;  in  1890 
and  the  year  just  closed,  a  little  below.  It  is  therefore  a  question 
for  thoughtful  and  prayerful  consideration  by  those  interested  in 
our  work,  whether  the  falling  off  in  the  collections  from  churches 
and  Sabbath  schools  the  year  after  the  Centennial,  and  which 
has  continued  ever  since,  can  be  any  longer  regarded  as  a  tempo- 
rary result  of  the  effort  on  behalf  of  our  Centenary  Fund ;  but 
surely  it  is  not  the  settled  judgment  of  the  Church  that 
$92,000 — the  average  of  collections  for  the  past  four  years — is  all 
that  the  Board  can  expect  from  this  source  for  its  sacred  work. 

The  Assembly  of  1885,  in  adopting  the  report  of  its  Stand- 
ing Committee  upon  Ministerial  Relief,  urged  the  "use  of 
increased  means  to  teach  and  persuade  Christian  people  to  bear 
this  cause  upon  their  minds  and  hearts."  This  the  Board  have 
done  ever  since,  always  bearing  in  mind  the  need  of  judicious 
economy.  Independent  of  the  items  of  expense  for  the  Annual 
Reports  and  for  The  Church  at  Home  and  Abroad  (which  are 
ordered  by  the  Assembly)  the  Board  have  used  circulars  and 
other  means  of  keeping  our  work    before   the  churches   at   an 


*This  amount,  added  to  the  balance  with  which  we  commenced  the  year,  enables 
us  to  report  to  the  Assembly  a  comfortable  working  balance  of  124,063.36.  This  will 
help  to  tide  the  Board  over  the  summer  months,  when  the  contributions  come  in 
slowly  while  the  demands  upon  our  treasury  still  continue. 


average  cost  since  1885  of  $744. 22 — last  year  it  was  $562.55. 
The  Board  will  continue  this  distribution,  recognizing  the 
importance  of  its  aid  in  keeping  up  the  contributions  even  to  the 
present  figures,  but  it  is  doubtful,  except  there  be  urgent  and 
continued  efforts  by  Presbyteries  and  Sessions,  whether  these 
means  alone  will  greatly  increase  the  aggregate  of  the  collections 
from  the  churches  and  Sabbath  schools  beyond  the  £92,000,  at 
which  figure  it  has  remained  the  last  four  years.  Yet  even  when 
these  collections  are  supplemented  by  the  individual  gifts  sent 
directly  to  our  Treasury  (averaging  the  last  four  years  $13,605.20) 
it  must  seem  a  disproportionately  small  part  of  the  total  of  the 
churches'  benefactions  during  the  year  to  reach  our  treasury. 

The  Board  respectfully  call  the  attention  of  pastors  and 
sessions  to  this  subject,  and  beg  them  to  devise,  if  possible,  some 
agency  in  each  congregation  by  which  a  fair  proportion  of 
its  offerings  may  be  secured  for  the  worn  out  servants  of  the 
Church.  To  this  cause  God's  people  never  fail  to  respond,  gladly 
and  generously,  whenever  it  is  properly  presented  to  them. 

The  number  of  families  upon  our  roll  has  steadily  increased 
each  year  since  1886.  It  was  then  509;  the  Presbyteries  now 
recommend  700.  In  1886  the  total  of  contributions  for  their 
support  was  $101,631,  or  an  average  of  $199  to  each  family. 
During  the  year  just  closed  the  total  of  contributions  was  $103,- 
844 — or  an  average  of  $148  to  each  family.  The  Permanent 
Endowment  will  surely  not  prove  to  be  a  blessing  to  the  church 
if  its  only  use  is  to  supplement  the  short-comings  of  God's 
people  in  their  duty,  year  by  year,  to  care  for  the  disabled 
servants  of  the  Church  and  their  dependent  families. 

LEGACIES   AND    PERMANENT    FUND. 

During  the  past  year  $35,028.23  were  received  by  the  Board 
in  legacies,  a  detailed  statement  of  which  is  given  on  page  38. 

From  these  legacies  and  from  special  donations  (see  page 
15)  the  Permanent  Fund  now  amounts  to  $1,192,919.12,  of 
which  $916,139.79  are  held  by  the  Board,  and  $276,779.33  by 
the  Trustees  of  the  General  Assembly  in  trust  for  the  Board. 
From  this  amount  should  be  deducted,  of  course,  the  sum  upon 
which  the  Board  pays  interest  during  the  lives  of  the  donors. 

Among  the  amounts  credited  to  the  Permanent  Fund  during

tenary  Fund,  $10.20,"  sent  through  Rev.  Dr.  W.  H.  Roberts, 
the  treasurer  of  the  Committee  in  charge  of  the  Centenary 
Offering.  This  Balance  makes  $590,830.27  as  the  total  of  the 
Centenary  Offering  transferred  to  the  Board  for  investment.  Of 
this  sum,  as  stated  in  our  last  report,  $122,000  have  been 
placed  at  6  per  cent,  interest,  through  the  agency  of  the 
Committee  in  St.  Paul,  Minn.,  of  which  Mr.  C.  H.  Bigelow 
is  the  Chairman,  and  of  a  like  Committee  at  Wichita,  Kansas, 
of  which  Rev.  John  D.  Hewitt,  D.  D.,  is  Chairman.

PAPER     REFERRED     TO    THE    BOARD. 

The  "  Paper  upon  the  subject  of  Annuities"  which  was 
referred  by  the  last  Assembly  to  the  Board  of  Relief  (see 
minutes,  page  190)  contains  the  suggestion  that  the  Boards  of 
our  Church  should  "accept  a  principal  sum,  upon  which  interest 
is  to  be  paid  to  the  donors  at  the  rate  of  four  or  five  per  cent,  so 
long  as  they  shall  live,  the  said  principal  sum  at  their  decease 
becoming  the  property  of  the  Board."  It  therefore  concerns 
the  other  Boards  of  the  Church  as  much  as  the  Board  of 
Relief;  and  for  ourselves  we  have  only  to  say  that  our 
reports  to  the  Assembly  show  that  we  have  for  years  past 
received  donations  upon  this  condition.  Our  report  for  the 
present  year  (see  page  14)  shows  that  #1,515  were  paid  as 
"annuities  during  the  life  of  the  donors  " — the  principal  which 
this  interest  represents  having  been  given  to  the  Permanent 
Fund  upon  condition  that  the  income  should  be  paid  to  the 
donors,  or  to  others  mentioned  by  them,  during  their  lives. 

The  term  of  service  of  the  following  members  of  the  Board 
expires  with  the  present  Assembly  :  Rev.  Henry  E.  Niles,  D.  D., 
Rev.  Wm.  M.  Paden,  George  Junkin,  Esq.,  and  A.  Charles 
Barclay,  Esq. 

Respectfully  submitted  on  behalf  of  the  Board, 

William  C.  Cattell, 

Corresponding  Secretary. 
May  5,  1892. 


II 


MEETINGS  AND  RULES  OF  THE  BOARD. 


The  Board  meets  on  the  third  Thursday  of  each  month,  except  during 
July  and  August,  when  a  committee,  appointed  by  the  Board,  acts  upon  all 
matters  requiring  attention  during  the  interim.  All  recommendations  from 
the  Presbyteries  for  aid  are  carefully  examined  by  a  committee  of  the  Board, 
who  report  their  conclusions  at  each  meeting.  Each  case  is  then  taken  up  by 
itself,  and  after  a  consideration  of  all  the  facts,  it  is  decided  by  a  vote  of  the 
Board.  When  the  Board  are  unable  to  grant  the  appropriation  asked  for,  the 
Chairman  of  the  Presbyterial  Committee  sending  the  application  is  promptly 
notified,  and  the  reasons  given  for  the  decision.  The  following  rules,  ap- 
proved by  the  General  Assembly,  govern  the  Board  in  the  administration  of 
this  Fund  : 

1.  Only  members  of  Presbyteries  in  connection  with  the  General  Assem- 
bly, and  the  families  of  those  who  were  at  their  death  in  such  connection,  are 
entitled  to  aid.     See  note,  (i)  and  (2). 

2.  All  appropriations  must  be  made  on  the  recommendation  of  that 
Presbytery  or  of  a  standing  Committee  of  that  Presbytery  to  which  the  appli- 
cant, if  a  minister  (not  Honorably  Retired — see  note  3^,  belongs;  if  the 
application  be  for  a  widow  or  orphan  children,  it  may  be  made  by  the  Pres- 
bytery within  whose  bounds  the  family  resides  or  by  the  Presbytery  with 
which  the  minister  was  connected  at  the  time  of  his  death.  The  same  rule 
applies  to  the  renewal  of  recommendations,  if  aid  is  continued. 

3.  Appropriations  are  made  for  one  year,  unless  otherwise  ordered  ;  and 
the  renewals  must  be  made  from  year  to  year.     See  note  (3). 

4.  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  age  of  the  children  who  are 
dependent  on  her  for  support. 

5.  While  the  responsibility  of  recommending  applicants  rests  with  the 
Presbyteries,  and  these  recommendations  largely  govern  the  action  of  the 
Board,  yet  there  is  reserved  to  the  Board  the  right  to  appropriate  according  to 
the  merits  of  the  case  and  the  state  of  the  treasury. 

6.  All  the  appropriations  are  paid  in  advance,  provided  the  funds  of  the 
Board  will  allow  ;  when  the  appropriation  is  at  the  rate  of  more  than  one 
hundred  and  fifty  dollars  per  annum,  it  is  paid  in  two  equal  instalments,  semi- 
annually in  advance. 

7.  Applications  for  admission  to  the  Presbyterian  Ministers'  House,  at 
P"rth  Amboy,  are  to  be  made  in  accordance  with  these  rules.  Guests  of  the 
House  who,  in  the  judgment  of  the  Superintendent,  are  a  hindrance  to  its 


12 

comfort  and  usefulness,  shall  be  reported  by  her  to  the  committee  in  charge, 
who  shall  have  power  of  removal,  subject  to  the  approval  of  the  Board. 

Note. — (i)  The  General  Assembly  of  1885  directed  "That  women 
who  have  given  themselves  to  the  Missionary  Work  be  placed  on  the  roll 
for  the  benefactions  of  this  Board,  upon  the  same  conditions  as  ministers." 
The  Assembly  of  1888  modified  this  rule  by  adding  "  after  five  years  of 
actual  service  under  the  care  of  either  the  Home  or  the  Foreign  Board." 

(2)  The  Assembly  of  1889  directed  "as  the  best  method  for  the  present  for 
supplying  a  felt  need"  that  the  names  of  "regularly  appointed  lay-Mission- 
aries of  the  Foreign  Board  "  shall  also  be  placed  upon  the  roll  of  the  Board. 

(3)  The  same  Assembly  also  directed  that  "  every  honorably  retired 
minister  over  seventy  years  of  age,  who  is  in  need,  and  who  has  served  our 
Church  as  a  missionary  of  the  Home  or  Foreign  Board,  or  as  a  pastor,  or  stated 
supply,  for  a  period  in  the  aggregate  not  less  than  thirty  years,  shall  be 
entitled  by  such  service  to  draw  from  the  Board  of  Ministerial  Relief  an 
annual  sum  for  his  support  wilhuut  the  necessity  of  being  annually  recommended 
therefor  by  the  Presbytery."  The  Assembly  further  provided  that  "  when 
such  a  minister  shall  certify  to  the  Presbytery  the  fact  and  amount  of  his  need, 
not  exceeding  $300  per  annum,  it  shall  be  the  duty  of  the  Stated  Clerk  to  for- 
ward the  application  to  the  Board,  with  his  endorsement  thereon  as  to  the 
years  of  service  such  minister  has  rendered,  his  field  or  fields  of  labor,  with 
the  term  of  service  in  each,"  and  also  to  certify  that  "  the  same  has  been  re- 
ported to  the  Presbytery  and  is  recorded  upon  its  minutes."  See  Minutes 
1 89 1,  page  44. 


FORM  OF  BEQUEST. 


The  laws  of  the  different  states  vary  so  much  as  to  testamentary  bequests 
that  it  is  always  desirable  to  secure  the  services  of  a  competent  lawyer.  In 
all  cases,  however,  where  bequests  are  made  to  this  Board,  the  corporate  name 
should  be  used,  as  follows: 

The  Presbyterian  Board  of  Relief  for  Disabled  Ministers,  and 
the  Widows  and  Orphans  of  Deceased  Ministers.

TWENTY-SEVENTH  ANNUAL  REPORT 


.   OF     i in: 


Board  of  Missions  for  Freedmen, 

Of  the  Presbyterian  Church  in  the  United  States 
of  America. 

To  the  General  Assembly  of  the  Presbyterian  Church, 

From  March  31st,  1891,  to  April  1st,  1892. 


The  Board  of  Missions  for  Freedmen  respectfully  pre- 
sents to  the  General  Assembly  its  Twenty-seventh  Annual 
REPORT,  and  we  are  grateful  to  God  that  we  can  say  it  has  been  a 
year  of  decided  success. 

The  Work  of  the  Year. 

We  have  sent  to  the  field  371  missionaries,  all  colored  but  85, 
and  aided  .300  churches  and  missions;  maintained  80  parochial 
schools  and  14  boarding  schools  of  different  grades.  Our  boarding 
schools,  which  arc  sustained  by  the  funds  of  the  Board,  are  as  fol- 
low-: Biddle  University  at  Charlotte,  N.  C,  with  9  professors 
ami  203  students;  Scotia  Seminary  at  Concord,  X.  C,  with  14 
teachers  and  258  students ;  Mary  Allen  Seminary  at  Crockett, 
Texas,  with  11  teachers  and  264  students;  Brainerd  Institute  at 
Chester,  8.  C,  with  11  teachers  and  346  students;  Ferguson 
Academy  al  Abbeville,  8.  C,  with  5  teachers  and  134  students; 

Albion  Academy  at  Franklinton,  \.  ( '.,  with  5  teachers  and  181 
students;  Emmanuel  School  at  Aiken,  8.  C,  with  8  teachers  and 
204  students;  Richard  Allen  Institute  at  Pine  Bluff,  Ark.,  with 
7  teachers  and  330  students;  Cotton  Plani  Academy  at  Cotton 
Plant,  Ark.,  with  6  teachers  and  L60  Btudents;  Haines'  (industrial 
Institute  al  Augusta,  Ga.,  with  10  teachers  and  111  pupils;  Mon- 
ticello,  Ark.,  with  ."»  teachers  and  102  pupils;  Oak  Hill  Industrial 


Biddle  University. 


Board  ok  Missions  for  Frkkdmkn. 


School,  Indian  Territory,  with  \  teachers  and  89  pupils,  and  Ingle- 
side  Academy  at  Amelia  C.  H.,  Ya.,  with  8  teachers  and  158 
students — making  a  total  of  3,044  students.  In  our  80  parochial 
schools  there  are  6,175  pupils,  making  a  total  in  all  our  schools  of 
9,229  pupils.  In  addition  to  our  day  schools  we  have  276  Sun- 
day Schools,  with  18,221  sell. ilars. 

A  new  building  has  Keen  completed  for  the  girls'  school  at 
Burkeville,  Va.,  at  a  cost  of  $20,000,  and  will  be  ready  for  occu- 
pancy  by  the  opening  of  the  next  term.  An  important  addition 
ha-  been  made  to  Scotia  Seminary  by  the  erection  of  Faith  Hall, 
which  was  dedicated  March  17th  last.  The  needs  of  the  Seminary 
made  the  erection  of  this  building  an  imperative  necessity,  and  it.  was 
accomplished  by  the  efforts  of  the  ladies,  especially  of  Cincinnati, 
Ohio.  This  building,  finished  and  furnished,  cost  about  $21,000, 
and  will  add  greatly  to  the  efficiency  of  this  prosperous  Seminary. 

Another  important  advance  in  our  educational  work  has  been  the 
erection  of  a  building  for  a  boarding-school  for  girls  at  Jackson, 
Miss.,  which  is  near  completion,  and  will  be  ready  for  use  by  the 
coming  autumn.  This  school  will  be  named  the  Mary  Holmes 
Seminary,  in  memory  of  the  mother  of  Miss  Mary  E.  Holmes, 
through  whose  influence,  and  that  of  the  ladies  of  Illinois,  the  build- 
ing has  been  erected  at  a  cost  of  $16,000.  This  Seminary  is  our 
firs!  foothold  in  the  State  of  Mississippi,  and  through  its  influence 
we  hope  to  make  an  entrance  into  other  parts  of  this  State  which 
has  such  a  large  colored  population. 

During  the  year  the  Board  has  purchased  valuable  property  in 
Richmond,  Ya.,  Asheville,  N.  C,  and  Little  Rock,  Ark.,  for  church 
and  school  purposes.  Those  arc  important  centres,  which  the 
Board  thought  should  be  occupied  at  once  and  the  work  prosecuted 
with  vigor.  A  church  ha-  been  organized  in  each  of  those  cities 
in  encouraging  circumstances,  and  we  have  good  reasons  to 
believe  an  efficient  and  prosperous  work  will  be  accomplished  in 
each  of  them. 

Ten  new  churches  have  been  organized  in  new  fields  and  a  num- 
ber of  oew  mission  stations  have  been  established.  The  following 
table  shows  the  work  more  in  detail  :

There  has  been  a  marked  religious  interest  in  a  number  of  our 
churches  and  schools,  especially  at  Mary  Allen  and  Scotia  Semina- 
ries, Pine  Bluff,  Ark.,  and  the  churches  in  Henry  county,  Va. 
As  a  result  of  this  gracious  work,  a  new  church  has  been  organized 
at  Mary  Allen  Seminary ;  twenty-nine  united  with  the  church  at 
Scotia  on  profession  of  faith ;  seventy-six  with  the  churches  in 
Henry  county,  Va.,  and  thirty  at  Pine  Bluff. 

The  work  of  the  Women's  department  is  especially  encouraging. 
Its  influence  is  awakening  a  deeper  interest  in  the  Freedwomen,  who 
need  so  much  womanly  sympathy  and  help.  The  receipts  through 
that  department  for  the  year  were  $45,055.55.  We  would  call  special 
attention  to  the  report  of  the  Secretary,  Mrs.  C.  E.  Coulter,  which 
is  printed  in  full  in  the  appendix  of  this  report. 

Our  field  Agent,  Rev.  H.  N.  Payne,  D.  D.,  who  spends  his 
whole  time  in  the  South,  in  his  report  to  the  Board,  gives  a  most 
encouraging  account  of  the  work.  He  has  visited  most  of  the  work 
in  Georgia,  the  Carolinas,  Virginia  and  Tennessee,  attended  the 
meetings  of  the  two  Synods  and  seven  Presbyteries,  traveled  10,675 
miles,  and  preached  85  sermons  and  delivered  59  addresses.  His 
supervision  of  the  work  on  the  field  has  been  of  great  aid  to  the 
Board. 

The  total  receipts  of  the  Board  for  the  year  amount  to  $172,567.47, 
total  expenditures,  $171,760.90,  showing  balance  of  $806.57. 

At  the  beginning  of  the  year  we  had  a  cash  balance  of  $7,770.80, 
with  $31,970.00  temporarily  invested.  We  now  owe  the  bank 
$15,000.00,  with  $26,340.00  temporarily  invested,  so  that  we  have 
really  expended  during  the  year  $200,161.70. 


Board  of  Missions  for  Freedmex. 


Of  the  Board's  receipts,  $85,318.80  came  from  churches  and  indi- 
viduals, $6,526.63  from  Sabbath  Schools,  $35,745.09  from  Women's 
Societies.  Comparing  these  figures  with  the  report  of  last  year 
we  find  an  encouraging  increase  all  along  the  line,  but  with  the 
largest  percentage  of  increase  in  receipts  from  Churches. 

Studying  the  receipts  with  reference  to  Synods,  we  find  a  decrease 
in  seven  Synods,  an  increase  in  seventeen  with  the  largest 
increase  in  receipts  from  the  Synod  of  Illinois. 

Of  the  Boards'  expenditures  about  $90,000  went  to  the  payment 
of  salaries  of  missionaries  on  the  field,  and  about  $101 ,000  to  general 
expenses  on  the  field. 

Of  the  $90,000  expended  for  salaries  on  the  field,  about  $52,000 
was  for  salaries  of  preachers,  about  $7,000  for  salaries  of  teachers 
in  parochial  schools,  and  about  $29,000  for  salaries  of  teachers  in 
our  higher  institutions.  Of  this  last  sum  $10,900  went  to  Biddle 
University,  $4,060  to  Scotia  Seminary,  $4,980  to  Mary  Allen  Semi- 
nary, and  the  remainder  in  smaller  sums  to  our  other  academies 
and  boarding  schools. 

This,  however,  does  not  give  a  very  definite  report  of  expenses, 
for  the  Board  also  pays  traveling  expenses  of  teachers  to  the  field, 
and  in  both  Mary  Allen  and  Scotia  pays  board  of  teachers,  but,  on 
the  other  hand,  gets  from  both  these  institutions  the  proceeds  of  the 
musical  department. 

Of  the  money  expended  for  general  work  on  the  field  about 
$9,629.56  was  for  scholarships,  and  the  balance  for  building,  furnish- 
ing, improving  and  purchasing  property.  Of  the  amount  spent  in 
erecting  and  furnishing  new  buildings  about  $20,000  went  to 
Burkeville,  about  $20,000  to  Scotia,  and  about  $15,000  to  Mary 
Holmes  Seminary. 

This  analysis  is  only  given  here  in  order  to  suggest  a  more  care- 
ful examination  of  the  Board's  financial  report. 

The  Board  needs  to  spend  more  for  building  the  coming  year 
than  has  been  spent  in  the  year  just  closed,  while  the  ability  for 
self-support  has  not  kept  pace  with  the  increased  expenses  of  carry- 
ing on  our  enlarged  work. 

The  Board  records  with  sorrow  the  death  of  two  of  its  missiona- 
ries during  the  year,  Rev.  T.  A.  Attics,  colored,  of  Chester,  S.  C, 
a  faithful  preacher  and   teacher,  and  Mr.  J.  F.  McBride,  principal 


10  Board  of  Missions  for  Freedmex. 

of  Oak  Hill  Industrial  School  in  the  Indian  Territory,  who  was 
doing  a  most  efficient  work  for  the  destitute  Negroes  of  the  Choctaw 
Nation.  Cut  down  in  the  prime  of  life,  the  death  of  this  good  man 
is  a  serious  loss  to  our  work  in  the  Territory. 

An  Onward  Movement. 

It  is  gratifying  to  know  that  the  church  is  beginning  to  compre- 
hend this  work  as  never  before.  Individuals  and  congregations,  as 
they  learn  more  of  the  condition  of  the  Negroes  in  the  South,  their 
needs  and  capabilities,  and  the  progress  that  has  been  made  in  their 
education  and  evangelization,  are  more  truly  realizing  the  obliga- 
tions and  possibilities  of  the  work.  The  progress  which  the  Negroes 
themselves  have  made,  both  in  moral  and  material  regards,  is 
encouraging.  If  they  should  make  as  rapid  progress  in  the  next 
twenty-five  years  as  they  have  in  the  past,  a  wonderful  change  would 
be  observable  in  the  South.  Two  and  a  half  millions  of  them  can 
now  read  and  write ;  nearly  two  millions  of  their  children  are  in 
school,  while  18,000  educated  colored  persons  are  teaching  school. 
They  are  publishing  154  newspapers  and  two  magazines  and,  are 
paying  taxes  on  $264,000,000  worth  of  property.  It  should  be 
remembered,  however,  that  twenty-five  years  is  not  time  enough  to 
develop  a  race  that  has  been  in  bondage  for  two  hundred  and  sixty 
years.  The  race  cannot  yet  stand  alone.  We  have  not  yet  got  far 
enough  from  the  era  of  slavery  to  abandon  the  Negro  to  his  own 
struggles  for  culture,  Christian  development  and  true  manhood. 
For  very  good  reasons  the  Christian  people  of  this  country  must 
provide,  for  years  to  come,  a  large  proportion  of  the  money  to  be 
used  in  educating  and  Christianizing  of  the  Negroes  of  the 
South.  Their  public  schools  run  only  about  three  and  a  halt 
months  during  the  year,  and  at  best  many  are  inefficient  and  exer- 
cise little  influence  in  the  way  of  Christianizing  the  people,  the 
teachers  too  often  being  ignorant  and  sometimes  immoral.  The 
Presbyterian  Church  has  taken  a  prominent  place  among  the 
Christian  denominations  that  are  laboring  for  the  Christian  educa- 
tion and  development  of  the  Freedmen,  and  she  must  maintain  her 
place.  Her  zeal  should  not  for  a  moment  be  abated,  but  rather  she 
should  make  larger  and  more  generous  gifts  for  the  work.  From 
almost  every  section  of  the  South  come  cries  for  schools,  teachers 
and  preachers.  The  time  has  come  for  a  special  onward  movement. 
The  Board  was  never  so  well  prepared  for  its  work  as  at  the  pres- 
ent time.     With  our  churches,  academies  and    schools  now  well  in 


12  Board  of  Missions  for  Freedmen. 

hand  an  onward  movement  could  be  made  all  along  the  line,  and  a 
greater  work  accomplished  within  the  next  five  years  than  has  been 
done  in  the  last  ten.  This  onward  movement,  however,  means 
more  money,  more  prayer,  more  earnest  sympathy  and  help  from 
the  churches.  In  connection  with  this  subject,  and  as  especially 
bearing  on  it,  the  Board  would  call  the  attention  of  the  Assembly 
to  the  following;  facts  in  regard  to 

Delinquent  Churches. 

While  the  contributing  constituency  of  the  Board  has  increased 
in  a  very  marked  manner,  especially  during  the  last  five  years,  it  is 
sad  to  know  that  there  are  *  3,022  churches  that  gave  us  nothing 
during  the  year.  Of  these  churches  320  have  a  membership  rang- 
ing from  from  100  to  200  each,  and  a  total  membership  of  over 
40,000,  while  166  of  them  have  a  membership  of  200  and  upwards, 
making  a  total  membership  of  60,427,  an  average  of  364  members 
each.  The  3,022  delinquent  churches  have  a  membership  of  a  lttile 
over  200,000.  Two  hundred  thousand  Presbyterians  who  gave 
nothing  to  educate  and  Christianize  a  race  of  poor  people  in  our  own 
land,  who  are  struggling  to  lift  themselves  and  their  children  up 
from  the  degredation  of  a  long  and  cruel  bondage.  This  state- 
ment, let  it  be  remembered,  does  not  include  many  members  in  the 
contributing  churches  who  gave  nothing.  Now,  suppose  those 
200,000  delinquents  had  given  us  only  five  cents  per  month,  we 
should  have  had  $120,000  additional  in  the  treasuary  of  the  Board 
for  the  year.  Had  the  60,000  members  in  our  166  large  and 
flourishing  churches  given  us  only  10  cents  per  month  we  should 
have  had  $72,000,  where  we  had  nothing.  Had  the  200,000  members 
in  the  delinquent  churches  given  us  10  cents  per  month  we  should 
have  had  $240,000  additional  for  the  year  and  for  a  vigorous 
onward  movement.  Think  what  a  loss  this  sum  has  been  to  the 
cause  of  Christ,  to  our  work  among  the  Freedmen,  and  especially  to 
the  pastors  and  members  of  the  churches  that  failed  to  give  it,  for 
"there  is  that  scattereth,  and  yet  increaseth  ;  and  there  is  that 
withholdeth  more  than  is  meet,  but  it  tendeth  to  poverty.  The 
liberal  soul  shall  be  made  fat;  and  he  that  watereth  shall  be 
watered  also  himself.  He  that  withholdeth  corn,  the  people  shall 
curse  him,  but  blessing  shall  be  upon  the  head  of  him  that 
selleth  it." 

•These  figures  are  taken  from  the  Twenty-sixth  Annual  Report. 


14  Board  of  Missions  for  Freedmen. 

The  Negro  and  Self-support. 

It  is  truly  encouraging;  to  note  the  progress  the  Freeclmen  have 
made  towards  self-support.  From  the  very  beginning  of  our  work 
among  them,  it  was  the  policy  of  the  Board  to  impress  upon  them 
the  importance  of  helping  themselves.  They  were  very  much  dis- 
posed, just  after  their  emancipation,  to  depend  upon  outside  help 
rather  than  upon  themselves.  They  had  their  idea  that  the  North, 
which  they  termed  "God's  country,"  possessed  boundless  wealth 
and  that  it  would  not  be  withheld  from  them.  They  were  poor, 
very  poor,  indeed,  but  it  was  thought  wise  to  teach  them  self-help 
and  self-dependence  from  the  start.  From  the  aid  which  the  Gov- 
ernment afforded  them  at  this  time  and  the  generous  gifts  from 
Christians  in  the  North,  there  was  danger  of  pauperizing  and  lead- 
ing them  away  from  self-dependence.  During  the  time  of  slavery, 
of  course,  they  were  provided  for  by  their  owners  and  had  no 
incentives  to  self-help,  and  nothing  to  teach  them  lessons  of  thrift 
and  economy.  To  provide  for  themselves  was  a  new  experience  to 
them,  and  to  depend  upon  themselves  was  a  lesson  not  easily  learned 
by  them.  It  was,  therefore,  important  from  the  start  to  impress 
upon  their  minds  the  duty  of  self-support,  even  though  at  the  cost  of 
some  self-denial  on  their  part ;  that  the  gospel  which  we  brought  them 
taught  that  it  was  the  duty  of  a  man  to  provide  for  his  own  house- 
hold. How  they  have  responded  to  this  teaching  may,  in  some 
degree,  be  learned  from  the  following  facts :  At  the  close  of  the 
first  year  of  our  work,  1866,  they  had  given  towards  the  support  of 
their  own  churches  and  schools  $1,548.55.  For  the  first  ten  years, 
ending  1875,  their  contributions  amounted  to  $67,077.80.  For  the 
next  ten  years,  ending  1885,  they  amounted  to  $131,631.48,  very 
near  double  the  sum  given  the  previous  decade.  Up  to  date  of  the 
present  decade  (seven  years),  they  have  given  $417,908.02,  having 
given  last  year  $43,847.33.  If  they  give  in  the  same  proportion 
for  the  next  three  years,  the  close  of  third  decade  will  find  their 
contributions  more  than  double  those  of  the  two  preceding  decades. 
These  sums  do  not  include  any  of  their  contributions  to  this  or 
other  Boards  of  the  church,  but  only  those  given  in  support  of 
their  own  churches  and  schools.  Of  course  these  increased  contri- 
butions show  a  corresponding  growth  and  extension  of  our  work 
among  the  Freedmen.  Their  gifts  last  year  averaged  $2.80  per 
each  member  of  the  church.  In  considering  self-support  among 
the  Freedmen,  their  condition  of  dec])  poverty  when  emancipated,

should  be  remembered.  Their  freedom,  dear  and  sweet  as  it  was  to 
a  long-enslaved  race,  rendered  them  penniless,  homeless  and  friend- 
less, having  absolutely  nothing  with  which  to  begin  their  new  life, 
not  a  foot  of  land,  not  a  cabin,  not  a  tool  or  farming  utensil,  only 
their  muscles  and  their  simple  faith  in  God. 

The  Negro  as  an  Educator. 

There  is  another  line  along  which  the  Negro  has  developed  his 
character  to  an  encouraging  degree,  and  which  has  proved  a  very 
important  and  interesting  feature  in  our  work,  and  that  is  as  an 
educator.  Twenty-five  years  ago  there  were  many  who  thought 
the  Negro  could  not  take  an  education.  This  idea,  however,  was 
soon  dissipated,  as  it  was  discovered  that  he  took  an  education 
very  readily  and  in  some  branches  of  study  manifested  marked 
ability.  In  the  very  outset  of  our  work  and  as  necessary  to  its 
complete  success,  it  was  felt  that,  if  we  expected  to  prosecute  and 
build  up  a  permanent  work  among  the  Freedmen,  colored  men 
should  be  educated  and  trained  as  preachers  and  teachers  for  the 
race.  Not  that  white  men  and  women  were  to  be  excluded  from 
the  work,  but  that  colored  men  and  women  might  be  cpiialined  to 
fill  equally  responsible  positions  along  side  of  our  white  laborers. 
For  this  purpose  a  college,  now  known  as  Biddle  University,  was 
established  at  Charlotte,  N.  C,  some  twenty  years  ago,  and  in  these 
years  it  has  educated  and  trained  a  number  of  preachers  and 
teachers  who  have  done  honor  to  their  Alma  Mater.  Heretofore 
the  college  has  been  entirely  under  the  control  and  direction  of 
white  professors,  except  one  colored  professor,  who  was  appointed 
some  years  since,  and  whose  services  have  proved  entirely  satisfac- 
tory both  to  the  Trustees  of  the  College  and  to  this  Board.  Last 
year  the  Board  felt  that  there  should  be  a  reorganization  of  the 
faculty  of  the  college. 

The  Synods  of  Atlantic  and  Catawba,  composed  largely  of  col- 
ored men,  though  they  did  not  express  it  in  so  many  words,  yet 
evidently  felt  that  they  should  be  recognized  in  the  reorganization 
of  the  faculty.  The  Board  also  felt  that  this  was  due  them.  True, 
they  were  not  experienced  in  the  duties  of  professors  in  college,  but 
how  were  they  ever  to  gain  such  experience  unless  they  were  tried, 
and  opportunities  afforded  them  in  this  line?  It  was  certainly 
expected  that  they  should  ultimately  fill  such  positions  along  with 
their  white  brethren,  and  the  time  seemed  to  have  come  when  they 
should  be  given  the  opportunity  to  at  least  try  of  what  stuff  they

were  made.     The  Board  hesitated  for  a  while,  but  the  more  the 
question  was  considered  the  more  it  was  impressed  upon  the  mind 
of  the  Board  that  the  experiment  should  be  made,  and  the  doors 
opened  to  them.     It  was  not,  however,  merely  an  experiment,  for 
we  had  some  knowledge  of  the  capability  of  colored  men  in  the 
management  of  some  of  our   schools  and   seminaries.     Beaufort 
Academy  at  Beaufort,  S.  C,  was  organized  ten  years  ago  and  has, 
up  to  this  time,  been  entirely  under  the  management  of  colored 
men,    and    is   one   of  our    largest   and  most   prosperous   schools, 
having    560    pupils.       So    of  Albion   Academy   at    Franklinton, 
N.  C,  a  branch  of  the  State  Colored  Normal  School ;  of  Ferguson 
Academy  at  Abbeville,  S.  C,  of  Jmmanuel  School  at  Aiken,  S.  C, 
all  organized  and  carried  on  under  colored  principals  and  teachers 
and  to-day  are  among  our  most  successful  schools.     So,  too,  of 
Cotton   Plant  Academy,   a  boarding    school    for    colored  girls  at 
Cotton  Plant,  Ark.,  Richard  Allen  Institute  at  Pine  Bluff,  Ark., 
and  of  Haines  Industrial  and  Boarding  School   under  Miss  Lucy 
Laney  at  Augusta,  Ga.     All   these  and  others  we  could  mention 
have  been  and  are  now  entirely  under  the  management  of  colored 
teachers  and  are  as  successful  as  any  schools  of  the  kind  in  the 
South.     And  turning  to  the  work  of  other  denominations  in  the 
South  we  find  66  academies  and  high  schools  with  colored  prin- 
cipals and  seven  colleges  presided  over  by  seven  colored  presidents, 
three  of  whom  were  slaves.     In  view  of  these  facts  the  Board  felt 
that  it  could  safely  *  nominate  three  additional  colored  men  as 
professors  in  Biddle  University,  making  four  with  the  one  previ- 
ously elected,  and  retaining  four  white,  thus  securing,  as  we  hoped, 
the  co-operation  of  all  the  friends  of  the  institution  both  white  and 
colored.     The  white  professors,  however,  for  reasons  satisfactory  to 
themselves,  resigned,  though  urged  very  earnestly  by  the  Board  to 
remain.     Three  other  colored  men  were  then   nominated   together 
with    one   white,  Rev.  Dr.  Bissell,  professor  of  Hebrew,   a   ripe 
scholar   and    a    man    who    has   the    confidence   of    his    brethren. 
The  colored  men  selected   as  professors  in  the   college  are  men  of 
good  scholarship,  of  high  standing  and  having  the  entire  confidence 
of  both  their  colored  and  white  brethren.     Of  course  at  this  date 
we  cannot  judge  of  the  success  of  our  colored  brethren  as  professors, 
and  of  the  success  of  the  college  under  their  management  as  their 
first  term  lias   not  yet   closed.     So   far,  however,  they  have  given

satisfaction  both  to  the  Board  in  Pittsburgh  and  the  Board  of 
Trustees  of  the  college,  and  the  success  of  the  college  has  been  as 

marked  as  any  year  in  its  previous  history,  and  in  the  way  of 
students  more  so,  having  enrolled  203  against  17o  last  year.  Of 
course  we  expect  mistakes  to  be  made  in  the  management  of 
the  college  under  this  new  and  untried  administration,  but  let 
us  not  be  too  ready  to  attribute  their  mistakes  to  incapacity 
because  made  by  colored  men.  Mistakes  are  made  in  the  best 
colleges  manned  and  managed  by  white  men.  In  opening 
the  way  for  our  colored  brethren  to  take  their  stands  among  the 
educators  of  the  day,  the  Board  feels  that  it  has  not  only  placed 
before  them  the  best  motives  to  prove  themselves  workmen  who 
need  not  he  ashamed,  but  before  the  young  men  of  the  race  the 
ooblest  incentive  to  seek  for  higher  attainments  in  education  and 
learning. 

In  closing  this  report  the  Board  would  emphasize  the  importance 
of  still  enlarging  the  work-  and  extending  it  to  regions  not  yet 
touched  by  any  of  our  missionaries.  Jt  is  very  certain  that  the 
Presbyterian  Church  has  not  done  her  whole  duty  in  evangelizing 
the  Negroes  of  the  South,  and  in  commencing  the  work  of  another 
year,  we  would  call  the  attention  of  the  Assembly  to  the  urgent 
need  of  larger  and  more  general  contributions  to  this  cause  from 
all  the  elta relies.  To  prosecute  the  work  as  it  should  be  done,  not 
less  than  two  hundred  and  fifty  thousand  dollars  will  be  required 
for  the  year. 

We  would  also,  through  your  venerable  body,  call  the  attention 
of  the  churches  and  benevolent  individuals,  especially  those  making 
bequests  in  their  wills,  to  the  importance  of  endowing  some  of  our 
institutions.  Biddle  University,  Mary  Allen  and  Scotia  Seminaries 
need  to  lie  endowed  and  thus  put  upon  a  permanent  basis  of  use- 
fulness lor  all  time  to  come.  These  institutions  are  now  supported 
entirely  from  the  funds  of  the  Board  at  a  cost  of  about  (18,000 
per  annum.  If  this  sum  were  released  by  endowments,  it  could  be 
used  to  great  advantage  in  extending  our  missionary  work  into  new 
and  destitute  regions. 

The  above  named  institutions  arc  permanently  located  and  well 
equipped  for  work,  and  churches  or  individuals  contributing  towards 
their  endowments  may  rest  perfectly  assured  of  the  permanent  use- 
fulness of  their  gift-.  With  faith  in  God  and  confidence  in  Hi- 
people,  we  take  up  hopefully  the  work  of  another  year.

TREASURER'S   REPORT. 

First.  Under  "Directs"  is  included  only  money  reported  by 
ministers  and  teachers  in  the  employ  <>f  the  Board  as  sent  directly 
to  them  to  be  used  in  work  that  the  Board  has  authorized. 

Second.  Under  "Amounl  Collected  on  the  Field"  is  included 
only  oioney  collected  to  pay  appropriations  that  the  Hoard  has 
made. 

Third.  This  report  does  not  include  in  any  way  the  inure  than 
$50,000  contributed  by  churches  and  by  pupils  in  our  schools  for 
self-support. 

The  Hoard  closes  the  year  practically  free  from  debt,  for,  while 
there  are  ootes  outstanding  and  other  hills  coming  due  that  will 
aggregate  a  little  more  than  Sl>.j,00<>,  the  Hoard  has  about  S_!G,000 
in  temporary  investments  to  meet  these  liabilities.

Eighth  Annual  Report  of  the  Freedmsn's  Department 


WOMAN'S    EXECUTIVE    COMMITTEE    OF 
HOME    MISSIONS. 


In  presenting  the  Eighth  Animal  Report  of  the  Frcedmen'a 
Department  of  the  Woman's  Executive  Committee  of  Home  Mis- 
sions, -we  would  gratefully  acknowledge  that  all  the  successes  <>f 
the  year  arc  i\uv  to  Him  who  has  so  graciously  led  us  and  made 
the  way  plain  before  us. 

Our  plan  of  working  is  very  simple.  Wo  have  local  Homo 
Mission  Societies  in  which  the  actual  work  is  done — Presbyterial 
Societies  where  work  is  planned,  methods  discussed  ami  inform- 
ation disseminated — Sy  nodical  Societies  where  Presbyterial  Reports 
arc  read,  addresses  made  l>y  workers  from  the  field,  or  others 
specially  interested,  enthusiasm  aroused,  suggestions  made  and 
much  done  to  unify  the  work.  It  is  a  part  of  our  plans  to  have  a 
Sec-rotary  lor  Freedmen  in  every  Synodical  and  Presbyterial  So- 
ciety, Where  thev  have  been  appointed  the  work  has  hcen  greatly 
facilitated.  We  have  now,  as  far  as  reported  to  us,  seventy  Pres- 
byterial Secretaries  for  work  among  the  Freedmen,  whose  duty  it  is 
t<>  see  that  the  claims  of  the  Freedmen  are  brought  before  every 
auxiliary  society  in  the  Presbytery  during  the  year.  Where  we 
have  no  Freedmen  Secretary,  the  Presbyterial  Secretary  kindly 
takes  charge  of  the   work    in    addition    to    her   other   duties.      The 

work  has  hcen  greatly  helped   by  the  hearty  sympathy  and  co- 
operation of  the  Woman's  Executive  Committee  during  the  year. 


96  APPENDIX — Board  of  Missions  for  Freedmen. 


The  manner  of  working  varies.  Sometimes  a  Synodical  So- 
ciety decides  to  take  a  special  object.  To  this  the  Presbyterial 
Societies  loyally  contribute  without  interfering  with  other  work 
they  have  undertaken.  For  example  :  Burkeville  has  been  the 
special  object  of  the  Pennsylvania  Synodical  Society  for  two  years, 
and  last  year  the  societies  of  Indiana  and  Michigan  each  pledged 
$1,000  for  the  same  object.  In  October  last  Indiana  pledged  the 
money  for  a  building  for  a  Boys'  Industrial  School  in  the  Indian 
Territory.  Illinois  is  concentrating  her  efforts  upon  the  Mary 
Holmes  Memorial  Building.  It  must  not  be  supposed  that  so- 
cieties with  Synodical  objects  give  only  to  that,  nor,  on  the  other 
hand,  are  gifts  to  these  objects  confined  to  those  Synodical  Societies. 
Burkeville  has  received  many  gifts  outside  of  the  States  named, 
and  many  tributes  have  been  sent  from  other  States  to  the  Mary 
Holmes  Memorial  Building. 

Special  objects  usually  awaken  more  interest  and  bring  in 
larger  results  than  general  appeals.  Consequently  many  Presby- 
terial and  local  societies  apply  to  the  Freedmen's  Department  for 
them.  It  is  therefore  necessary  that  the  wants  of  the  field  should 
be  well  understood.  This  requires  much  correspondence  with  the 
workers.  This  is  carried  on  with  no  intention  of  usurping  author- 
ity or  ignoring  the  supremacy  of  the  Board,  but  to  gain  an  accurate 
knowledge  of  the  necessities  of  the  field,  so  they  may  be  presented 
more  forcibly  to  societies  and  awaken  a  deeper  interest.  During 
the  past  year  1175  societies  have  contributed  through  the  Woman's 
Executive  Committee  and  thirty-two  direct  to  the  Treasurer  of 
the  Board. 

In  making  this  report  it  is  to  be  understood  that  we  have  in 
no  case  acted  independently  of  the  Board,  but  always  in  accordance 
with  their  advice  and  with  the  approval  of  the  Woman's  Executive 
Committee  of  Home  Missions.  We  cannot  always  measure  the 
interest  felt  in  our  work  by  the  amount  of  money  contributed,  but 
even  judged  by  this  standard  we  have  reason  to  "  thank  God  and 
take  courage."  We  have  received  during  the  past  year  from  the 
Treasurer  of  the  Woman's  Executive  Committee,  $44,985.95;  of 
this  $3,532.27  was  from  Sabbath  Schools;  in  addition  to  this  the 
Treasurer  of  the  Board  has  received  direct  from  ladies  and  socie- 
ties, $391.90;  making  a  total  of  $45,377.85.  This  money  has 
paid  the  salaries  of  thirty-two  teachers,  has  given  whole  or  par- 
tial scholarships  to  more  than  300  pupils  and  has  aided  in  build- 
ing, repairing  and  furnishing  school  supplies  to  nineteen  schools.

The  greatest  visible  work  of  the  year  has  been  the  building  of 

Faith  Hall  at  Scotia,  Concord,  N".  C,  the  Burkeville  building 
at  Burkeville,  Va.,  and  the  Mary  Holmes  Seminary  at  Jackson, 
Miss.  The  building  of  Faith  Ball  was  largely  accomplished  by 
the  ladies  of  Cincinnati  bringing  the  want  of  Scotia  in  a  forcible 
way  before  the  women  of  the  Church.  As  the  resuli  of  their  zeal 
and  energy  the  bnilding  was  completed  and  dedicated  the  17th  of 
March.  Contributions  were  received  from  every  State  but  two. 
This  building  adds  greatly  t<>  the  convenience,  comfort  and  use- 
fulness of  Scotia. 

It  has  been  a  greal  disappointment  to  both  friends  and  pupils 
that  the  Burkeville  building  has  not  been  ready  for  occupancy  this 
school  year,  hut  it  is  now  almost  completed  and  when,  in  October, 
all  gather  within  its  substantial  walls  and  see  its  adaptation  for 
the  work,  the  trials  of  patience  and  the  weary    waiting   will  he  for- 

gotten.     It  is  to  he  greatly  regretted  that,  for  want  <>!'  funds. ■ 

wing  had  to  he  left  oil',  the  bricks  for  which  are  burned  and  upon 
the  ground.  Even  now,  if  some  of  the  Lord's  stewards  would 
give  $5,000,  the  wing  would  go  up  this  summer  and  the  house 
stand  complete.  In  the  meantime  the  school  has  been  carried  on 
at  Amelia  C.  II.,  although  owing  to  the  burning  of  Engleside  Cot- 
tage a  verv  limited  number  of  boarders  eould  be  accommodated. 

After  a  careful  survey  of  the  field,  Jackson,  Mi--.,  was  selected 
by  the  Board  as  the  location  of  the  Mary  Holmes  Seminary — an 
institution  designed  to  perpetuate  the  memory  and  influence  of 
Mrs.  Mary  Holmes,  of  Illinois,  a  life-long  friend  of  the  negro. 
Wonderful  success  has  crowned  the  efforts  to  build  this  memorial. 
Her  daughter,  Miss  Mary  E.  Holmes,  Ph.  D.,  has  given  her  time 
and  energy  to  the  work,  and  as  the  agenl  to  the  Hoard  has  super- 
vised it  from  the  beginning.  It  is  due  to  her  skill  and  untiring 
labor  that  this  large  building  will  he  completed  by  May  15th  and 
will  open  its  doors  to  the  colored  girls  of  Mississippi,  October 
next — the  first  gifl  of  Presbyterians,  North,  to  the  colored  people 
of  that  State. 

A  much  needed  school  building  ha-  been  put  up  for  the 
Good  Will  Parochial  School  near  Ma\  e-villc,  S.  C.  The  old  build- 
ing, never  well  adapted  to  the  wants  of  the  school,  and  become 
(piite  unsafe,  notwithstanding  its  numerous  props.  The  money 
for  this  building  was  secured  by  the  efforts  of  the  teachers,  who 
not  only  gave  liberally  themselves,  but  interested  personal  friends. 

The  school    building  at    Nottoway    ( '.   II.,  Va.,  has    been    en-

larged  by  the  addition  of  a  room,  which  makes  a  vast  improve- 
ment in  the  order  and  also  the  ease  with  which  instruction  is  given. 
This  money  was  also  raised  by  the  efforts  of  the  teachers  and  came, 
largely  from  personal  friends. 

Haines  Normal  and  Industrial  School  at  Augusta,  Ga.,  has 
added  a  nurses'  training  department  to  its  other  industries,  which 
promises  to  be  very  useful.  Practical  work  is  given  the  pupils  in 
the  hospitals  of  the  city. 

Brainerd  Institute,  Chester,  S.  C,  deserves  a  larger  mention 
than  can  be  given  here.  The  teachers  are  doing  a  noble,  self- 
denying  work  and  their  record  is  on  high. 

Ferguson  Academy  at  Abbeville,  S.  C,  has  suffered  somewhat 
this  year  from  want  of  scholarships — the  hard  times  making  it 
impossible  for  many  to  help  themselves,  who  had  hitherto  done  so. 
This  is  also  true  of  many  of  our  schools. 

Our  school  at  Oak  Hill,  Indian  Territory,  has  met  with  a 
severe  loss  in  the  death  of  the  Principal,  Mr.  James  F. 
McBride,  who  was  called  to  a  higher  service,  January  17th.  We 
would  feel  that  this  loss  was  irreparable  were  it  not  that  we  know 
the  work  is  the  Lord's,  and  even  though  He  calls  the  workers 
away  He  will  still  carry  it  on.  Our  sympathies  go  out  to  Mrs. 
McBride,  her  family  and  the  school,  and  we  commend  them  to 
the  loving  care  of  our  Father,  who  is  able  to  make  them  rejoice 
even  in  affliction. 

In  the  unusual  amount  of  religious  interest  in  our  schools, 
the  answer  to  the  prayers  of  God's  people  is  plainly  seen.  This 
year  has  been  rendered  notable  in  Mary  Allen  Seminary,  Crock- 
ett, Texas,  by  the  organization  of  a  church  in  connection  with  the 
school.  During  the  year  much  religious  feeling  has  been  shown 
and  many  conversions  reported.  Seventeen  united  with  this 
new  church  upon  profession  of  their  faith,  others  preferred  to  join 
their  home  churches.  Richard  Allen  Institute,  Pine  Bluff,  Ark., 
reports  ninety  conversions,  thirty  of  whom  united  with  our 
Church. 

Cotton  Plant  Academy,  Cotton  Plant,  Ark.,  has  also  been 
greatly  revived  and  a  number  were  converted.  Martinsville,  Va., 
ha.<  been  wonderfully  blessed,  also  Stuart  and  Horse  Pasture  in 
the  same  State.  It  is  with  real  regret  that  we  cannot  make  special 
mention  of  all  the  schools  that  have  received  help  from  the  women 
of  the  Church.  The  parochial  schools  are  doing  much  in  reaching 
the  masses.     The  good  they  accomplish,  although  untold,  is  being 


APPENDIX— Board  of  Mibsiokb  fob  Fbbbdhbn.  99 

felt  throughout  the  South;  they  are  more  in  touch  with  the  peo- 
ple than  the  boarding  schools.  The  teachers  of  these  school-  are 
generally  graduates  from  our  higher  institutions  or  ladies  from 
the  North. 

Owing  to  the  very  low  price  of  cotton  and  the  failure  of  crops 
in  many  districts,  there  lias  been  an  unusual  call  for  clothing  dur- 
ing the  past  year.  This  has  been  generously  responded  to.  hut 
the  imperfect  reports  make  it  impossible  to  give  an  accurate  state- 
ment either  of  the  number  or  the  value  of  boxes  and  barrels  sent. 
Some  societies  gave  the  value  of  new  articles  only,  not  wishing  to 
receive  credit  for  clothing  for  which  they  had  no  use,  although 
they  hoped  it  would  make  many  needy  ones  more  comfortable. 
The  value  of  the  clothing  sent  was  probably  about  $10,000. 

During  the  coming  year  we  hope  to  see  ;i  Hoys'  Industrial 
School  established  in  the  Indian  Territory,  the  necessity  for  which 
can  hardly  be  overestimated.  The  building  for  this  school  has 
been  pledged  by  the  ladies  of  Indiana,  but  furnishing  will  still  be 
needed. 

Swift  Memorial  School  at  Rogersville,  Tenn.,  so  called  in 
honor  of  Dr.  E.  E.  Swift,  who  was  so  widely  known  throughout 
our  Church,  has  very  inadequate  buildings  and  certainly  such  as  do 
but  little  honor  to  the  memory  of  one  who  was  President  of  the 
Hoard  of  Missions  for  Freedmen  from  the  time  of  its  organization 
as  a  Committee  until  his  lamented  death  in  1887.  We  wish  to 
aid  the  Board  in  the  new  building  tiny  contemplate,  and  have  such 
an  one  erected  as  will  meet  the  wants  of  the  school  and  honor  the 
name  it  bears. 

We  would  also  be  glad,  with  the  sanction  of  the  Board,  to 
make  some  of  our  chapel-school  houses  more  comfortable.  We  also 
desire  a  larger  number  of  salaries  lor  teachers  and  more  scholar- 
ships for  worthy  pupils. 

Remembering  the  pasl  with  gratitude  we  enter  upon  another 
year's  work  with  joy  and  confidence,  feeling  assured  that  "God's 
greatness  Mows  around  our  incompleteness.  Most  gladly  there- 
fore we  glory  in  our  weaknesses,  that  the  strength  of  Christ  may 

rest    upon   us."

Ninth    Annual  Report  to    t/n    (i,i,,i<il   AwiHhly. 


HERVEV    DODDRIDGE     GANSE 

Born  27th  February  1822 

Elected  Secretary  op  the  Board  5th  October  1883 

Died  8th  September  1891 

The  hand  that  was  wont  to  prepare  this  Annual  Report 
is  still  in  death.  This  space  seems  tenderly  sacred  in  its  associa- 
tion with  the  life  and  work  of  Secretary  Ganse.  It  was  his  facile 
pen  that  tilled  these  pages  with  argument  ami  appeal  in  behalf 
of  Higher  Christian  Education.  Here  he  laid  many  a  goodly 
foundation  stone  for  the  new  cause.  Here  he  built  it  into  the 
judgment  and  convictions  of  intelligent  men  and  women. 
Here  he  marshalled  the  facts  and  figures  that  made  the  educa- 
tional budget  bristle  with  points  or  interest,  and  sometimes, 
under  his  deft  and  apposite  speech,  gave  it  a  touch  of  genuine 
pathos. 

He  brought  to  this  new  structural  work  of  our  Church,  as 
its  first  Secretary,  a  rare  combination  of  gifts.  It  is  difficult  to 
tell  where  to  begin  to  go  around  his  many  sidedness.  There  is 
no  order  of  climax  in  the  enumeration  of  his  powers.  He  was 
capable  of   the   severest    processes  of    logic,    yet    he   could  climb 

the  heights  with  his  superb  imagination.  He  had  remarkable 
power  of  analysis,  yet  he  was  capable  of  gathering  the  particu- 
lars thus  reached  ami  making  them  effective  in  new  combina- 
tions. He  had  rare  discernment  .if  •■  things  that  differ."  yet 
he  frittered  away  no  time  or  energy  in  splitting  hairs.  He  had 
a  conscience  for  details,   yet  grasped   as  well  greal    principles. 

His  will  was  strong,  but  willowy.  He  was  a  scholar  of  tine 
attainments,  a  lover  of  books  and  of  men,  keenly  intellectual, 
tenderly  sympathetic.  I  do  not  believe  he  ever  willingly  broke 
*<  a  bruised  reed." 


2  COLLEGES    AND    ACADEMIES.  [1892. 

All  these  gifts  at  their  full  maturity  he  brought  to  the 
service  of  the  Board  of  Aid  for  Colleges  and  Academies,  and 
the  work  he  wrought  is  now  a  part  of  the  enduring  history  of 
our  beloved  Zion.  It  seems  peculiarly  fit  that  here  in  these 
pages  should  be  placed  this  brief  memorial  word.  With 
gratitude  to  God  the  President  of  the  Board,  assured  that  he 
voices  the  feeling  alike  of  the  Board  and  of  the  Church,  here 
makes  recognition  of  the  inestimable  services  rendered  to  the 
cause  of  Higher  Christian  Education  by  the  beloved,  and  now 
sainted,  Hervey  D.  Ganse,  in  the  eight  years  of  his  secretary- 
ship. Herrick  Johnson. 


The  College  Board  begs  leave  to  submit  its  Ninth  Annual 
Repoi't,  first  making  grateful  mention  of  the  goodness  of  its 
God,  who  has  accorded  to  it  four  desired  things:  open  heavens, 
open  hearts,  open  hands,  and  open  doors;  and  of  these  four  it 
speaks. 

I.     OPEN   HEAVENS. 

Much  prayer  has  been  offered  by  the  Board  and  in  its  be- 
half, and  has  been  answered.  The  Lord,  we  believe,  smiles 
upon  it.  The  Lord  who  sat  weary  on  the  curb  of  Jacob's  well 
to  be  refreshed  from  its  cool  depths,  to  convert  a  sinner  there, 
and  there  to  consecrate  his  disciples  to  work  in  the  ripened  har- 
vest, visits,  we  are  sure,  our  institutions  for  like  purposes.  In 
them  227  students  have  been  creditably  converted  during  the 
year,  and  176  have  the  ministry  in  view;  but  such  results  of 
conversion  and  consecration  evidence  the  Saviour's  visits. 
Christian  schools  are  wells  of  perpetual  mental  and  spiritual 
blessing  to  their  vicinage,  pouring  out  year  by  year  converted 
and  consecrated  young  men  and  women  to  revive  the  Lord's 
work;  He  is  surely  not  unmindful  of  them  or  unrefreshed  by 
them. 

The  Board  has  this  year  been  drawn  to  the  heavens  by  their 
opening  to  receive  thither  its  honored  and  beloved  Secretary;  a 
deprivation  that  would  seem  remediless  had  not  the  Lord  of 
this  work  himself  called  him,  and  to  the  place  whence  its  power

comes.  May  not  his  presence  there,  in  ways  we  do  not  know, 
be  for  this  Board's,  as  l'<>r  his  own.  great  blessing?  Surely  the 
Church  may  cry  to  heavens  so  opened  for  special  grace  toward 
the  Board  so  bereaved. 

II.  OPEN   HEARTS. 

There  is  growing  interest  in  the  Board's  work.  As  the  ed- 
ucational needs  of  the  great  West  become  known;  as  the  scanti- 
ness of  the  Presbyterian  ministry  there,  and  the  fact  that  sup- 
ply must  come  from  western  Presbyterian  schools  and  colleges, 
are  comprehended;  as  the  necessity  for  such  Christian  school 
work  to  supplement,  hold,  and  develope  the  work  of  our  Board 
of  Home  Missions  is  understood;  as  the  self-denying,  half-paid, 
faithful  work  of  our  consecrated  teachers  is  appreciated;  and  as 
the  principles  and  methods  of  the  Hoard,  (largely  shaped  by  the 
late  Secretary  and  approved  by  your  venerable  body.)  are  studied; 
interest  grows. 

This  growing  interest  appears  in  letters  and  words  from 
Presbyterians  who  are  noting  the  work,  and  in  the  offerings  of 
the  churches.  The  Board's  treasury  received  offerings  from 
2,472  churches,  an  increase  of  299,  or  13  per  centum,  over  the 
offerings  of  the  preceding  year;  while  516  churches  sent  offerings 
directly  to  institutions  aided  by  the  Board. 

Did  all  pastors  and  sessions  of  vacant  churches  tell  them- 
selves and  their  people  just  what  the  Board  is  doing,  giving 
them  knowledge;  had  all  synods  and  presbyteries  standing  com- 
mittees on  the  College  Hoard  to  stimulate  pastors  and  sessions; 
perhaps  the  4,082  churches,  (almost  two-thirds  of  the  whole 
number  in  our  Church.)  which  made  no  offering  last  year  would 
fall  into  the  loyal  and  happy  line  of  contributors  to  this  good 
cause,  and  men  and  women  of  means  would  hear  and  take  inter- 
est and  give  to  the  work. 

III.  OPEN     HANDS. 

The  Lord  has  opened  hands  to  give 


4  COLLEGES    AND    ACADEMIES.  [1892 

TO   THE    BOARD'S   TREASURY. 

(1)  For  the  General  Fund;  increase  over  1891. 

From  Churches  and  Sabbath  Schls .$32,167.89  $2,381.55=13  per  ct. 

From  Individuals 4,868.81  2,568.18 

From  Interest 1,205.29 

Total $38,961.58 

(2)  For  the  Property  Fund: 

From  Individuals $10,850.00         $     850.00=8.5  per  ct. 

From  Legacies 966.66  15,533.31 =decrease. 

Total $11,816.66 

Total  to  the  Board's  Treasury $50,778.21 

Besides  what  comes  to  the  Board's  treasury  there  have  been 
sent 

TO    INSTITUTIONS   AIDED  BY  THE  BOARD. 

INCREASE  OVER  1891. 

From  Churches  and  Sabbath  Schls-$10,167.89         $  1,393.71  =  15  per  ct. 
From  Individuals 33,916.16  13,892.87  =decrease. 

Total $11,114.05 

Adding  this  amount  to  the  receipts  of  the  Board's  treasury 
we  have  as 

Total  gifts  to  the  work $95,192.29 


The  most  gratifying  and  hopeful  increase  is  that  of  monies 
from  Churches  and  Sabbath  Schools.  Yet  the  sum  given  this 
year  to  the  General  Fund  enables  the  Board  to  appropriate  for 
the  current  expenses  of  institutions  now  on  its  roll  not  more 
than  one-half  what  they  absolutely  need  under  most  economical 
administration.  The  apparent  increase  in  individual  gifts  to 
the  General  Fund  is  due  to  special  solicitations  made  by  the  of- 
ficers of  the  Board  at  the  beginning  of  the  year  to  meet  deficits 
of  the  preceding  year  in  some  institutions  suffering  peculiar 
hardships. 


1892.]  ninth   ANNr.vr.   BEP0BT. 


IV.      OPEN     DOORS. 


These  were  many  and  various. 

1.  To  aid  oub  iNsrrnrioxs.  Absolute  appropriations  were 
vot^d  to  15  colleges  and  21  academies.  To  Alma  College  and  to 
Occidental  University  privilege  was  given,  (as  it  is  t<>  institu- 
tions receiving  absolute  appropriations,)  to  solicit  and  receive 
the  College  Board  offerings  of  the  churches  in  their  synods;  and 
to  Occidental  University  an  appropriation  to  be  paid  if  the 
Board's  income  should  overrun  its  appropriations  previously 
made.  Fort  Dodge  Collegiate  Institute  in  an  attempt,  which 
had  not  the  Board's  approbation,  to  change  it  to  a  collet'  and 
remove  it  to  another  place,  lost  its  property  and  is  no  longer  on 
our  roll.  Salida  Academy  was  closed  temporarily  and  its  build- 
ing rented  for  public  school  purposes,  until  its  small  debt  shall 
be  paid  and  it  can  reopen  more  hopefully. 

Some  institutions  which  have  exceeded  their  probable  in- 
come may  be  unable  to  claim  payment  of  appropriations  voted 
them.  Where  the  deficit  is  caused  by  peculiar  hardship  they 
should  be  aided;  but  the  Board  has  not  the  means.  The  pros- 
perity, if  not  the  continued  existence,  of  some  institutions  of 
great  promise  for  the  future  is  imperilled; 

2.  To  kstabi.isii  m:w  institi'TIons.  The  West,  feeling  its 
need  of  Christian  schools,  and  stimulated  by  the  establishment 
of  the  Board,  is  everywhere  stirring  itself  to  produce  properties 
which  are  offered  to  the  Church  on  condition  of  their  receiving 
aid.  The  East  also  offers  successful  private  schools  to  the 
Church  on  condition  of  their  receiving  aid.  The  Board  has  felt 
constrained  to  restrict  its  limited  giving  to  the  poorer  West, 
Leaving  the  more  opulent    E&Sl    t<>   care   for  its  own  institutions. 

3.  To   USE  PKOI'KKI  V    I 'I'NUS. 

Institutions  already  prosperous,  now  in  private  hands,  might 
be  secured  to  the  Church  by  putting  into  them  Borne  capital  or

comes  need  not  pay  interest  charges  so  heavy   in  the  West,  and 
that  they  may  reach  their  full  powers  of  usefulness. 

Institutions  that  are  growing  rapidly  require  immediate  en- 
largement of  buildings,  apparatus,  libraries. 

Institutions  that  have  proved  their  right  to  be  and  to  con- 
tinue to  be,  by  doing  good  work  in  every  line  and  by  securing 
increasing  numbers  of  students,  require  permanent  endowment 
to  make  them  self-supporting  and  to  attract  the  gifts  of  those 
who  wait  to  be  assured  of  their  permanency. 

-t.  To  promote  bible  study.  Our  institutions  are  doing 
better  work  in  teaching  the  Holy  Scriptures  than  is  done  by  the 
institutions  of  any  other  denomination.  Yet  the  Board  is  not 
satisfied.  It  purposes,  if  the  plan  meet  your  approbation,  to 
require  more,  and  more  systematic,  teaching  of  the  Bible  to 
all  the  students  in  every  institution,  as  a  condition  of  receiving 
aid  from  the  Board.  The  faculties  of  our  institutions,  so  far  as 
the  Board  has  been  able  to  consult  them,  express  hearty  sym- 
pathy and  accord  with  this  purpose. 

5.  Which  swing  both  ways.  The  Board  desires  the  judg- 
ment of  your  venerable  body  as  to  which  way  it  shall  enter  these 
doors. 

You  have  directed  the  Board  "  To  co-operate  with  local 
agencies  in  determining  sites  for  new  institutions."  Some  plant 
themselves  without  seeking  the  Board's  co-operation  in  deter- 
mining the  site,  and  then,  through  their  synods  or  presbyteries, 
virtually  demand  aid.  How  shall  the  Board  treat  such  in- 
stitutions when  they  are  not,  in  the  Board's  judgment, 
located  wisely  for  the  interests  of  the  Church's  educational 
work? 

You  have  directed  the  Board  "  To  decide  what  institutions 
shall  receive  aid."  The  Board  must  either  restrict  its  aid  chiefly 
to  institutions  heretofore  aided,  giving  them  large  assistance 
until  they  reach  self-support;  or  divide  its  funds  among  them 
and  new  ones,  some  of  which  can  hardly  live  without  such  aid. 
It  must  either  give  very  large  proportionate  aid  to  institutions, 
in  poor  or  sparely  settled  regions,  which  can  not  in  any  case 
soon  reach  self-support  and  magnitude;  or  else  give  the  larger 
assistance  to  flourishing  institutions  which  may,  by  such  aid,  be

soon  brought  to  self-maintenance,  setting  the  Board  free  to 
build  up  the  others. 

You  have  directed  the  Board  "To  discourage  all  independ- 
ent appeals  to  the  Church  at  large."  This  it  is  doing  with  in- 
stitutions receiving  its  aid.  It  is  powerless  to  restrain  institu- 
tions which  have  been,  in  its  judgment,  unwisely  located  or 
started  with  insufficient  property  foundation  or  in  a  real-estate 
rather  than  a  Christian  spirit.  These  make  their  appeals  every- 
where, commended  l>y  their  synods  or  presbyteries,  but  without 
authorization  from  the  Board.  Is  it  the  judgment  of  the  Gen- 
eral Assembly  that  Presbyterian  gifts  for  young  western  insti- 
tutions should  go  to  those  which  have  the  Board's  careful  and 
sympathetic  judgment  in  favor  of  their  existence? 

You  spoke  strongly  last  year  regarding  a  practice  which 
does  not  become  less.  Many  churches  in  the  older  and  richer 
sections  of  the  church  make  annual  offerings  nominally  for  the 
College  Board,  but  send  the  money  to  institutions  in  their  own 
vicinage.  The  Board  rejoices  to  see  money  How  in  generous 
streams  to  their  treasuries,  and  wishes  its  rich  increase;  hut 
should  not  offerings  taken  in  the  name  of  this  Board  be  used 
only  for  work  which  this  Board  is  established  to  do,  namely, 
to  aid  its  struggling  western  schools;  and  should  not  eastern 
churches  which  make  offerings  for  their  own  institutions  make 
them,  not  in  the  name  of  this  Board,  hut  in  addition  to  offer- 
ings for  the  Board?

CONS  TITUTIONA  L     PR  0  !  7  8  IONS. 

The  following  arc  the  chief  provisions  under  which  tliis 
Board  has  been  constituted,  as  determined  by  the  Act  of  the 
General   Assembly  of  the   Presbyterian   Church   in   the  United 

States  of  America,  in  session  si  Saratoga,  N.  Y..  .May,  1883: 

The  name  of  this  Board  shall  be  the  Presbyterian  Board  of 
Aid  for  Colleges  and  Academies,  and  the  general  work  shall 
have  the  limitations  indicated   by  its  title. 

The  Board  shall  consist  of  twenty-four  members,  divided 
into  three  classes,  composed  equally  of  ministers  and  laymen, 
and  one  class  shall    lie  elected  each   year. 

The  province  of  the  Board  shall  hi'  to  secure  an  annual  offer- 
ing from  the  churches  for  this  cause;  to  co-operate  with  local 
agencies  in  determining  sites  for  new  institutions;  to  decide 
what  institutions  shall  he  aided;  and  to  discourage  all  independ- 
ent appeals  to  the  Church  at  large. 

The  funds  received  by  the  Board  shall  he  devoted  either  to 
current  expenses  of  struggling  institutions,  or  to  permanent 
endowments. 

The  funds  shall  he  secured  (>t)  by  annual  offerings  from  the 
churches,  mainly  for  current  expenses  of  the  institutions;  (h)  by 
special  applications  for  endowment  under  the  approval  and  gen- 
eral direction  of   the  Board'. 

Every  institution   hereafter  established,   as  a  condition  of 

receiving   aid,  either   shall   be   organically   connected    with    the 
Presbyterian  Church  in  the  United    States  of  America,  or  shall, 

by  charter  provision,  perpetually  have  two-thirds  id'  its   Board 
of  Control  members  of  the  Presbyterian  Church. 

In  the  case  of  institutions  already  established  and  not 
included  under  the  above  provisions,  appropriations  for  endow- 
ment shall  he  so  made  as  to  revert  to  the  Board  whenever  these 

institutions  shall  pads  from  Presbyterian  control. 

In  all  other  respects  the  disbursement  of  funds  by  the  Board 
shall  he  wholly  discretionary  vith  the  Board,  both  as  to  amount 
and  direction,  suhject  always  to  the  control  of  the  (ieneral 
Assembly. 


10  COLLEGES    AM)    ACADEMIES.  [1892. 


INCOME    SOLICITED. 

1.  For  the  General  Fund  ;  derived  from  church  annual 
offerings  (which  should  be  made  in  February  if  convenient),  and 
from  individual  gifts;  from  which  appropriations  are  made  to 
the  current  expenses  of  institutions.  Only  institutions  whose 
charters  or  articles  of  incorporation  place  them  in  the  control 
of  the  Presbyterian  Church  are  aided;  and  no  institution  may 
incur  indebtedness  while  connected  with  the  Board.  Demands 
upon  this  Fund  increase  far  more  rapidly  than  the  churches' 
gifts  to  it. 

2.  For  the  Property  Fund  ;  derived  from  individual 
gifts  and  bequests;  used  to  aid  institutions  in  (1)  Paying  off 
remaining  indebtedness;  (2)  Adding  needed  buildings  or  other 
equipment;   (3)   Obtaining  endowment. 

By  offering  from  one-fifth  to  one-third  of  the  total  amount 
needed,  the  Board  stimulates  local  giving  of  the  rest,  bringing 
to  the  Church  property  worth  from  three  to  five  times  the 
amount  of  the  gift.  By  requiring  adequate  insurance  on  build- 
ings and  their  contents,  and  by  taking  a  mortgage  on  the  insti- 
tution's property,  the  Board  secures  to  the  Church  forever  not 
only  its  own  gift  but  the  entire  property  of  the  institution. 
All  gifts  to  our  institutions  should  be  made  through  the  Board 
in  order  to  secure  the  Church's  perpetual  hold  upon  them.  This 
perpetually  productive  form  of  investment  is  commended  to  the 
judgment  of  all  who  hold  money  as  the  Lord's  stewards.  Per- 
sonal gifts  and  bequests,  either  for  designated  institutions  or  to 
be  distributed  in  the  Board's  discretion,  are  increasingly 
needed. 

(1.)  Debts.  A  few  institutions  are  embarrassed,  their 
growth  hindered,  their  income  partly  absorbed  in  interest  pay- 
ments, by  debts.  These  were  incurred  before  the  publication 
of  the  Board's  rule  against  added  indebtedness;  are  mostly 
small  compared  with  the  values  of  their  properties;  and  are 
chiefly  due  either  to  a  sudden  fall  in  the  price  of  lands  which  it 
was  reasonably  expected  would  sell  well,  or  to  reliance  on  syn- 
ods and  presbyteries,  which  were  more  enthusiastically  sanguine 


1892.1  '.I.M.KAI.     INJoKMATIoN.  11 

in  mating  promises  than  able  to  redeem  their  pledgee.  Money 
offered  through  the  Board  will  secure  payment  of  debts  from 

three  to  five  times  the  amount  of  the  gifts,  Betting  Qoble  insti- 
tutions free  for  effective  service  of  the  church. 

(2.)  Equipment.  Successful  institutions  with  increasing 
patronage  require  enlarged  or  additional  buildings,  especially 
dormitories,  and  enlarged  equipment  generally.     Money  offered 

through  the    Hoard  will    secure    from    the    institution's  vicinage 

from  three  to  rive  times  the  amount  of  the  gift,  enlarging  the 
school's  usefulness  and  lifting  it  one  step  nearer  self-sup- 
port. 

(3.)  Endowment.  Most  of  our  schools  are  out  of  debt, 
possess  admirable  buildings  of  brick  or  stone,  and  do  thorough 
and  extending  work.  They  are  unendowed,  dependent  upon 
annual  appropriations  from  the  Board.  The  Hoard's  income 
is  not  sufficient  to  carry  all  these  and  at  the  same  time  to  aid 
new  schools.  The  older  schools,  which  have  approved  their 
worth,  must  now  be  endowed;  $5,000  toxT.OOO  offered  through 
the  Board  will  secure  $25,000  endowment  of  an  academy,  mak- 
ing it  self-supporting:  $10,000  to  $15,040  will  secure  *.">0. 000 
for  a  college,  making  it  serf-supporting.  In  cases  where 
schools  are  doing  peculiarly  Home  Missionary  work  in  locali- 
ties unable  to  endow  them,  the  Church  must,  to  secure  their 
perpetual  usefulness,  give  one-half  or  the  entire  amount  needed; 
and  such  gifts  are  well  worth  while.  Has  the  Church  a  better 
investment? 

The  Board  forbids  representatives  of  its  aided  institutions 
to  solicit  funds  (except  from  personal  friends),  outside  of  their 
presbyteries  or  synods.  It  authorizes  no  one  to  make  such 
solicitation.  The  following  rule  was  adopted  by  the  Board 
January  7,   L892: 

Colleges  aided  !>y  the  Hoard  may  solicit  personal  gifts  in  their  re- 
spective synods,  academies  in  their  presbyteries,  or  both  from  personal 
friends  anywhere;  but  this  does  not  mean  that  acquaintance  with  a 
pastor  in  another  synod  or  presbytery  authorizes  solicitation  from  his 
church  or  people.  Other  solicitation  of  gifts  from  individuals  for  in- 
stitutions aided  by  the  Board  may  be  made  only  by  the  Hoard.  Insti- 
tutions asking  aid  from  the  Board  will  be  considered  as  thereby  pledg- 
ing themselves  not   to  make  such  solicitation  while  connected  with  the

Board.  If  they  need  funds  for  paying  debts,  for  increasing  facilities,  or 
for  endowment,  they  may  inform  the  Board.  It  will  investigate  the 
case  and  try  to  secure  such  help  as  may  seem  essential  and,  in  view  of 
other  claims,  just  and  wise.  It  will  lay  the  matter  before  pastors  for 
their  assistance;  it  will  not  go  around  pastors  to  appeal  to  individuals, 
except  to  such  as  are  personal  friends  or  accustomed  givers  to  the 
cause;  and  it  will  in  no  case  authorize  representatives  of  institutions 
to  make  such  solicitation.  Institutions  intending  to  apply  to  the 
Board  for  aid  must,  after  receipt  of  this  notification,  refrain  from  mak- 
ing such  solicitation,  or  their  application  for  aid  will  be  declined. 
The  reasons  for  this  rule  are  obvious. 

1.  Such  gifts  through  the  Board  are  secured  by  mortgage  on  an 
institution's  entire  property  and  can  never  be  diverted.  Personal  gifts 
not  so  secured  may  be,  as  some  have  been,  lost  by  an  institution's  dis- 
continuance or  transfer. 

2.  Promoters  of  an  institution  commonly  count  theirs  the  most  im- 
portant educational  enterprise  of  the  Presbyterian  Church,  and  natural- 
ly try  to  secure  the  largest  gifts.  The  interests  of  our  one  educational 
work  demand  the  judgment  of  a  competent  body  studying  the  entire 
work  broadly,  minutely,  and  sympathetically,  as  to  the  relative  meas- 
ure of  help  needed  by  each  institution.  The  Board  seems  to  be  the 
body  to  do  thie  thing. 

3.  The  aid  secured  by  a  solicitor  depends  less  upon  the  compara- 
tive merit  of  his  cause  than  upon  his  eloquence  and  persistence.  Some 
institutions  obtain  large  help;  while  others,  equally  or  more  needy,  de- 
serving and  promising,  get  little  or  none.  The  Board  can  assure  a 
sharing  approximately  just  and  wise. 

1.  When  the  Board  asks  churches  for  annual  offerings,  seeks 
personal  gifts  from  their  members,  and  then  permits  solicitors  to  make 
further  appeals,  it  wearies  pastors,  gets  its  own  representative  de- 
nied access  to  their  pulpits  or  to  their  good  givers,  creates  unpleasant 
feelings  toward  itself,  and  decreases  the  annual  offerings  for  its  treas- 
ury. 

5.  Givers  approached  inopportunely,  too  persistently,  and  by  so 
many  different  solicitors  for  the  one  cause  of  Presbyterian  educa- 
tion, incline  to  listen  to  none,  make  perhaps  small  gifts  or  none,  and  are 
disaffected  toward  the  Board.  Wisely  approached  by  the  Board's 
representative  only,  and  only  rarely,  and  only  when  their  pastor  has 
secured  their  consent,  they  may  be  won  to  interest  in  the  work,  to 
larger  immediate  gifts,  and  to  a  habit  of  contribution  to  the  cause. 

6.  Solicitors,  rarely  securing  much  from  eastern  givers,  have 
secured  less  year  by  year.  The  latest  adventures,  prosecuted  for 
months,  by  able  men,  for  worthy  schools,  have  been  disappointing.  "  I 
wish  I  had  not  gone,"  is  the  common  report  to  the  Board.

7.  Some  institutions,  loyal  to  the  Board's  policy,  refrain  from  the 
undesired  solicitation;  others,  restrained  by  no  effective  rule,  make  such 
solicitation, and  pre-empt  the  bounty  which  should  be  shared  by  others. 
Thus  the  Board  sees  institutions  suffering  deprivation  through  loyalty 
to  its  policy. 

Hence  the  Board  felt  constrained  to  adopt  the  New  Rule.  We  be- 
lieve, inclined  thereto  by  many  leading  ministers  and  men  of  means, 
that,  if  pastors  render  occasional  assistance,  the  relations  between  tin- 
churches,  the  givers,  the  Board,  and  the  institutions  will  be  most  agree- 
able and  most  useful  to  the  cause  which  all  have  at  heart. 

Pastors  are  asked  to  note  that  this  plan  can  succeed  only  in  so  far 
as  congregations  are  instructed,  by  the  pastor  or  by  the  Board's  repre- 
sentative admitted  to  the  pulpit,  about  Presbyterian  educational  work 
and  the  Board's  aims  and  methods;  and  in  so  far  also  as  pastors 
sincerely  try  to  secure  the  Board's  representative  access  to  individual 
givers.  If  the  Board  can  not  obtain  needed  money,  institutions  will 
certainly  cut  loose  from  it  and  make  their  own  solicitations  in  eastern 
churches. 

The  Board  makes  request  of 

(1.)  Pastors,  and  Sessions  of  vacant  churches,  that  they 
ensure  an  offering  for  the  Board  every  year;  that  they  admit 
the  Secretary  to  present  our  Church's  educational  work  in  their 
pulpits  (and  no  offering  for  the  Board  need  be  made  at  the 
time);  and  that  they  secure  from  men  and  women  of  means  in 
their  congregations  permission  lor  the  Secretary  to  talk  with 
them  about  the  work. 

(2.)  Presbyterian  Leagues,  Social  Unions,  and  the  like, 
that  they  give  the  Secretary  opportunity  to  speak  of  the  ( Ihurch'a 
college  work. 

(3.)  Individuals,  that  they  afford  the  Secretary  opportunity 
to  talk  with  them,  or  that  they  correspond  with  him,  regarding 
the  general  work  or  about  particular  institutions;  that  they 
contribute  to  the  Board's  funds;  and  that  they  give  the  Board 
a  place  iti  their  wills.  Legacies  should  be  made  to  "The 
Presbyterian  Board  of   Aid  for  Colleges  and  Academies." 


14  COLLEGES    AND    ACADEMIES.  [1892. 

APPLICATIONS  FOR  AID. 

1.  Ownership.  Ownership  and  control  of  institutions 
expecting  aid  must  be  vested  in  an  ecclesiastical  corporation 
belonging  to  our  denomination;  or  in  a  board  of  trustees  annu- 
ally elected  or  nominated  by  such  an  ecclesiastical  corporation; 
or  in  a  board  of  trustees,  two-thirds  of  whose  members  shall 
always  be,  by  stipulation  in  the  charter  or  articles  of  incor- 
poration, members  of  the  Presbyterian  Church  in  the  United 
States  of  America. 

2.  Determining  Sites.  The  act  of  General  Assembly 
constituting  the  Board  directs  it  "  To  cooperate  with  local  agen- 
cies in  determining  sites  for  new  institutions."  It  should  be 
consulted  before  any  projected  institution  expecting  its  moral  or 
financial  aid  is  located.  Its  wide  outlook  over  the  entire  field, 
and  its  years  of  observation  and  experience,  fit  it  to  counsel 
profitably  for  the  interests  both  of  the  institution  and  of  the 
educational  work  of  the  whole  Church. 

3.  Selecting;  Institutions.  The  Board  is  also  "To  de- 
cide what  institutions  shall  be  aided."  The  territory  is  vast; 
communities  needing  Christian  schools  are  innumerable;  local 
offers  of  land,  buildings,  cash  for  starting  schools  are  multi- 
tudinous; the  Board's  resources  are  limited;  the  multiplication 
of  small  colleges  and  schools  cannot  easily  outrun  the  need,  but 
has  already  outrun  the  Church's  contributions  for  their  aid;  the 
Board  must  make  selection  among  the  many  seeking  aid.  It 
will  be  guided  in  part  by  the  following  considerations. 

(1.)  Relative  Location.  Remoteness  from  other  Chris- 
tian schools  and  from  state  institutions  is  a  claim.  Ordinarily 
but  one  Presbyterian  College  is  needed  in  a  state  until  the  Pres- 
byterians of  the  state  can  support  that  and  aid  a  new  one 
beside.  No  academy  in  the  vicinity  of  another  Presbyterian 
school  will  be  aided. 

(2.)  Population.  To  preempt  for  the  Church  strategic 
points  which  are  to  become  influential  centers  is  sound  policy; 
yet  neither  may  sanguine  expectations  of  new  settlers  be  always 
accepted  as  prophecies  of  future  greatness,  nor  may  places 
already  populous  and  growing  be  neglected. 


1892.]  <.km:i:ai.   ini TOBMA  i  ion.  15 

(3.)  Pbofbett  I-'"i  m'a  i  ion.  A  few  acres  or  city  lots 
(easily  obtainable  in  new  communities,)  and  a  little  cash  for 
buildings,  arc  not  sufficient  foundation.  The  idea  that  if  a 
start    be   made,   however   inadequate,    the  great    Presbyterian 

Church  will  <h»  the  rest,  is  a  mistaken  one.  Givers  give  by 
preference  to  that  well  begun  which  is  half  done,  ami  the  Board 
must  consult  their  wishes.  A  new  institution  should  have  a 
property  foundation  sufficient  t<>  assure,  with  moderate  aid  from 

the  Board,  the  meeting  of  its  annual  expenses  at  the  outset. 
No  new  institution  having  indebtedness  may  expect  current  aid; 
hut  tlie  Board  will  try.  in  cases  of  exceptional  merit,  to  aid  in 
removing  the  debt. 

(4.)  Local  Interkst.  Land  and  cash  offered  as  real  estate 
speculation,  with  no  vital  local  interest  in  a  Christian  school, 
do  not  invite  the  Board's  aid;  for  the  Board  expects,  at  its 
utmost  giving,  not  to  provide  all  or  one-hail'  what  will  be 
needed  eventually,  hut  only  to  stimulate  by  its  offers,  as  the 
school  commends  itself  to  the  community  by  its  work,  that 
local  giving  which  must  he  its  main  reliance.  The  Board  has 
settled  policy  to  help  institutions  which,  by  a  local  spirit  of 
fostering  generous  aid,  have  promise  of  large  future.  The 
Lord's  money  must  he  invested  by  its  steward,  the  Board,  where 
the  Largest  returns  are  probable, 

(5.)  Educational  Work.  The  Board  i-  set  to  aid  col- 
Leges  ami  academies,  nol  low  grade  schools,  and  to  foster 
classical  study  which  grammar  and  high  schools  rarely  provide. 
Yet.  where  an  academy  can  increase  income  and  draw  pupils  to 
advanced   studies  by  teaching  lower  or  commercial   branches, 

and   where  a  college  can    increase    income    and    lead  students   on 

into  its  college  courses  i>\  doing  preparatory  work,  this  is  ap- 
proved. But  in  all  institutions  to  be  aided  by  the  Hoard  a  high 
ami  rising  grade  of  educational  work  is  expected. 

(J6.)  Scii;iii  \i  I\iiii\<k.  Our  institutions  are  meant  to 
convert  the  Unconverted  and  to  const-crate  Christian-.  Schools 
with  consecrated  teachers  doing  their  work  in  a  missionary 
spirit;  with  daily  worship,  young  people's  societies,  and  a  total 
life  that  influences  pupils  toward  Christ,  and  young  men  toward 
the   ministry;  have   large  claim   for  aid.     The  highesl   educa- 


16  COLLEGES    AND    ACADEMIES.  [1892. 

tional  work,  lacking  this  element,  lias  no  claim  upon  the  Church's 
funds. 

(7.)  Bible  Teaching.  The  Word  of  the  Lord,  which 
converts  the  soul,  makes  wise  the  simple,  rejoices  the  heart,  and 
enlightens  the  eyes,  must  be  taught  in  every  school  aided  by  the 
Board.  It  must  be  a  chief  text-book.  It  must  be  taught  to  all 
students.  The  Board,  believing  that  Bible  study  is  the  chief 
thing,  purposes  to  secure  more  thorough  Bible  work;  perhaps 
requiring,  for  instance,  Bible  instruction  of  all  students  at 
least  three  hours  a  week  for  one  term  of  each  year;  the  life  and 
teachings  of  our  Lord  the  leading  study;  the  whole  Bible 
studied  during  the  course.  Teaching  the  evidences  of  Chris- 
tianity is  not  sufficient;  Christianity  itself  must  be  taught. 
Schools  doing  superior  Bible  work  have  superior  claim  upon 
the  Board's  aid. 

(8.)  Change  of  Name.  An  institution  having  aid  from 
the  Board  as  an  academy  may  not  change  its  grade  to  that  of  a 
college  without  the  previous  consent  both  of  its  synod  and  of 
the  Board. 

(9.)  Solicitation  of  Funds.  The  rule  of  the  Board  on 
this  point,  (see  page  11,  above,)   will  be  enforced. 

(10.)  Visitation.  New  institutions  must  not  expect  aid 
before   they  have  been  visited  by  the  Secretary. 

4.     Applications  for  Current  Aid. 

(1.)  Form.  Application  is  to  be  made  by  the  trustees,  in 
formal  meeting,  filling  out  a  blank  form  which  the  Secretary 
will  furnish  on  request.  Applications  made  for  the  first  time 
should  be  accompanied  by  the  fullest  information  regarding  the 
history  and  prospects  of  the  institution,  and  should  be  presented 
to  the  Board  at  the  earliest  possible  date. 

(2.)  Time.  The  annual  Board  meeting  for  voting  on  appli- 
cations is  held  on  the  Tuesday  after  the  second  Sunday  in  June. 
Applications  should  be  in  the  Secretary's  hands  at  least  four 
weeks  before  the  meeting.  Institutions  withholding  applica- 
tions beyond  the  date  of  the  meeting  and  giving  no  satisfactory 
explanation  of  the  delay,  will  be  regarded  as  expecting  no  aid 
from  the  Board  for  the  ensuing  year.  As  applications  must 
often  lie  followed  by  correspondence  before  they  can  be  acted 


1892.]  <.!:\ki:ai.    [NFOBMATION.  17 

upon,  institutions  will  do  well  to  Bend  them  in  :it  the  earliest 
day  convenient. 

(3.)  Approval  by  Pbbsbttbbv  on  Synod.  Applications 
of  colleges  inns!  have  the  formal  approval  of  their  synods 
endorsed  upon  the  applications;  applications  of  academies,  the 
approval  of  their  presbyteries.  Failing  this  do  aid  can  be  given 
but  upon  unanimous  vote  of  the  Board,  sixteen  members  being 

present.       Yet.  as  there  is  often  no  meeting  of    the  ecclesiastical 

body  held  between  the  making  of  the  application  by  the  trus- 
tees and  the  June  Board  meeting,  unendorsed  applications  will 
be  voted  on  at  the  June  meeting;  duplicate  applications, 
approved  and  endorsed,  to  be  sent  to  the  Hoard  before  any  pay- 
ment of  aid  will  be  made. 

The  Board  assumes  that  in  approving  an  application  the 
synod  or  presbytery  has  satisfied  itself  by  careful  investigation, 
(by  committee  visitation  and  scrutiny  of  the  institution  if  pos- 
sible,) regarding  the  institution's  "Location,  if  it  be  well  chosen; 
Financial  Administration,  if  it  be  wise  and  economical;  s<-/i<,- 
la8tic  II  "/■/•,  if  it  be  broad,  symmetrical  and  thorough;  and 
Spiritual  Influence,  if  it  lead  pnpils  to  Christ,  form  noble  man- 
hood and  womanhood,  and  bring  young  men  to  the  ministry 
and  young  women  to  consecrated  usefulness.  The  Board  further 
assumes  that,  in  approving  an  application,  ministers  and  ruling 
elders  purpose  to  follow  their  affirmative  votes  with  cordial 
assistance  in  prayers,  kind  words  and  gifts. 

5.  Application  for  Property  Funds.  Applications  for 
Property  Funds  for  aid  in  paying  indebtedness  or  in  the  pro- 
duction or  increase  of  property  should  be  made  in  writing, 
should  state  explicitly  all  facts  in  the  case,  should  be  certified 
as  adopted  by  a  formal  vote'of  the  trustees  in  regularly  called 
meeting,  and  should  have  formal  approval  of  synod  (for  a  col- 
lege) or  of  presbytery  (for  an  academy).

APPROPRIATIONS  FOR  CURRENT  AID. 

1.  Amount.  The  Board  will  make  its  appropriations  in 
dee}»  sympathy  with  struggling  institutions,  mindful  of  excep- 
tional cases,  seeking  the  advantage  of  the  Church's  entire 
educational  work,  and  with  such  wisdom  as  may  be  given  to 
those  who.  knowing  their  lack,  ask  of  God.  It  can  give  only 
so  much  as  the  Church  contributes.  Under  no  circumstances 
will  its  total  amount  of  "appropriations  exceed  its  reasonably 
assured  income. 

2.  Announcement.  Appropriations  voted  at  the  June 
Board  meeting  will  be  at  once  announced  to  boards  of  trustees 
of  institutions,  that  they  may  adjust  their  proposed  outlay  for 
the  ensuing  scholastic  year  to  their  probable  income. 

3.  Additional  Sources  of  Income. 

(1.)  From  Churches.  Colleges  aided  by  the  Board  may 
solicit  and  receive  from  the  churches  of  their  respective  synods 
the  annual  Board  of  Aid  offerings;  and  such  contributions,  sent 
directly  to  the  college,  and  reported  by  it  to  the  Board,  will  be 
credited  to  the  churches  as  contributions  to  the  Board.  Acade- 
mies have  similar  privileges  in  their  respective  presbyteries. 

(2.)  From  Individuals.  Colleges  aided  by  the  Board  may 
solicit  personal  gifts  in  their  respective  synods,  academies  in 
their  presbyteries.  These,  reported  to  the  Board  by  the  insti- 
tutions, will  be  credited  as  gifts  to  the  Board. 

4.  Conditions  of  Payment. 

(1.)  No  Deht  Incurred.  Institutions  aided  by  the  Board 
may  not  create  debt  of  any  kind  without  previous  concurrence 
in  writing  by  the  Board. 

(2.)  Expenses  Within  Income.  Institutions  aided  1>\  the 
Board  musl  keep  current  expenses  within  income,  permitting  no 
unsettled  claims  of  teachers  or  of  others. 

(3.)  Solicitation  <>f  Finos.  Institutions  aided  by  the 
Board  must  observe  carefully  the  rule  on  page  11  above-. 

5.  First  Half  Payment. 

(1.)  Time.  The  first  half  payment  of  the  appropriation 
voted  will  be  made,  if  the  Board's  treasury  will  permit,  in 
January  ami  February. 


1892.]  GENERAL    INFORMATION,  1 '-1 

(^.)  Condition-.  The  "Itemized  Schedule,"  seal  out  by 
the  Board  in  due  season,  musl  be  returned,  filled  out  in  form, 
and  approved  in  session  of  the  Board  of  Trustees  or  of  the 
Executive  Committee  of  the  institution;  ami  the  "Total  of 
contemplated  income  ""  musl  balance  the  •-  Total  <>!'  contemplated

6.     Second  Half  Payment. 

(1.)  Time.  It  will  be  made  as  soon  after  the  receipt  of  the 
balance  sheet  (mentioned  below),  as  the  Board's  treasury  will 
permit  :  usually  at  once,  and  probably  in  June. 

(2.)  Conditions.  The  "Balance  Sheet"  sent  out  by  the 
Board  in  due  BCason,  must  be  returned  filled  out  in  form, 
approved  at  the  annual  meeting  of  the  board  of  trustees  of  the 
institution  :  an<l  it  uni-t  show  that,  with  the  exception  of  such 
outstanding  bills  a>  the  Board's  final  payment  will  be  sufficient 
t eet,  all  bills  of  t  he  year  have  actually  been  paid,  and  accom- 
panied with  the  tnisi<-cs"  pledge  that  the  remaining  hills  shall 
he  paid  as  soon  as  the  expected  remittance  from  the  Board  shall 
In-  received.  TheSpring  Report  blanks,  scut  out  by  the  Board, 
must  lie  returned  by  the  time  required,  and  Idled  out  in  form, 
and  such  other  reports  as  the  Board  may  require. 

APPROPRIATIONS  FROM  THE  PROPERTY  FUND, 

1.  Objects.  Appropriations  from  the  Property  Fund  are 
made  "idy  to  aid  in  extinguishing  debt  on  property,  in  complet- 
ing enlargement  or  erection  of  buildings,  and  in  securing 
endowment. 

-.  Amount.  Only  under  exceptional  circumstances  Bhould 
an  institution  ask  of  the  Hoard  more  than  one-fifth  the  entire 
amount  needed,  in  no  case  more  than  one-third.  Hut  the 
Board  will  gladly  aid  in  securing  a  larger  proportion,  or  the 
entire  amount  ceeded,  for  any  especially  deserving  institution, 
should  some  individual  donor  propose  to  bestow  it. 

3.     Conditions  of  Payment. 

(l.)  Completing  hik  Effobt.  The  appropriation  will 
be  paid  when  it  secures  the  complete  extinguishment  of  in- 
debtedness, or  makes  the  final  payment  on  the  completed 
building,  or  completes  the  amount  of  endowmenl  contemplated. 


20  COLLEGES    AND    ACADEMIES.  [1892. 

(2.)  Solicitation  of  Funds.  Such  solicitation  of  funds 
as  is  discouraged  by  the  rule  (see  page  11  above),  will  forfeit 
the  appropriation. 

(3.)  Mortgage.  Payment  of  the  appropriation  will  not 
be  made  until  a  mortgage  covering  the  property  of  the  institu- 
tion, for  the  total  amount  of  the  appropriation  and  of  any  pre- 
ceding appropriation  from  the  Property  Fund,  shall  have  been, 
executed  and  placed  in  the  Board's  possession. 

4.  Necessary  Steps. 

(1.)     Papers  Required.      The  Board  must  have 

A  true  copy  of  the  charter  or  articles  of  incorpora- 
tion of  the  institution. 
A  true  copy  of  the  by-laws. 

A  legal  description  of  the  property  to  be  covered 
by  the  mortgage. 
(2.)  Time.  As  the  preparation,  execution  and  approval  of 
the  papers  requires  time,  the  institution  should  notify  the  Board 
that  it  will  be  ready  for  the  payment,  and  should  forward  the 
papers  named  above,  at  least  three  months  before  the  payment 
is  expected  to  be  made. 

(3.)  Other  Papers.  The  mortgage  and  other  required 
papers  will  be  prepared  by  the  Board  and  transmitted  to  the 
board  of  trustees  of  the  institution  for  execution.  Such 
papers  sent  by  the  Board  must  be  executed  by  special  vote  of 
the  board  of  trustees,  at  a  meeting  regularly  called,  and  a 
quorum  being  present ;  and  a  certificate  to  this  effect  will  be 
required.     Mortgages  must  be  recorded. 

(4.)  Exactness.  Much  delay  will  be  avoided  if  the 
trustees  of  the  institution  observe  with  care  and  follow  explic- 
itly the  directions  which  will  accompany  the  papers  prepared 
and  transmitted  to  them  by  the  Board.  The  Board  will  require 
entire  exactness. 

5.  Special  Conditions.  Such  special  conditions  as  the 
Board  may  make  in  each  case  will  be  notified  to  the  trustees  of 
the  institution,  and  compliance  with  them  will  be  required  by 
the  Board.

ACTION  OF  THE  GENERAL  ASSEMBLY. 

At  Portland,  Oregon,  May  24,  1892. 

The  Standing  Committee  on  Ai<l  for  Colleges  and  Academies 
presented  its  Report,  which  was  accepted,  and  after  an  address 
by  the  Rev.  Edward  C.  Kay,  D.D.,  Secretary  of  the  Board  of 
Aid,  and  others,  the  recommendations  were  adopted  as  follows: 

5Tour  Committee  on  Aid  for  Colleges  and  Academies  present 
the  followirig  Report:  We  have  examined  the  records  of  the 
Board  of  Aid  for  Colleges  and  Academies  and  read  attentively 
its  Report  to  this  Assembly,  and  find  the  record  complete  and 
orderly,  and  the  Report  clear  and  satisfactory. 

The  firsl  thing  which  strikes  our  attention  is  an  obituary. 
The  former  beloved  Secretary,  Rev.  Dr.  II.  I).  Ganse,  is  this 
year  a  member  of  the  General  Assembly  and  Church  of  the 
Firstdtorn  which  are  written  in  heaven,  and  his  voice  will  no 
more  he  heard  in  clarion  tones  in  our  Assemblies  here.  But 
as  the  mantle  of  Elijah  fell  upon  Elisha,  so  the  mantle  of  the 
now  sainted  Ganse  has  fallen  upon  a  worthy  successor  in  the 
pers f  E.  C.  Kay.  D.  I). 

This  Assembly  will  rejoice  to  know  that  the  blessing  of  God 
has  been  upon  the  work  of  this  Board  during  the  past  year,  hi 
the  institutions  aided  by  it  227  students  are  reported  to  have 
been  converted,  and  17<i  have  the  ministry  in  view.  There  have 
been  this  year  2472  contributing  churches,  an  increase  of  299 
over  any  preceding  year,  while  516  churches  sent  their  collec- 
tions directly  to  institutions  aided  by  the  Hoard,  instead  of 
sending  them  to  the  Board's  Treasurer.  While  all  these  things 
are  encouraging  and  call  for  thankfulness,  the  sad  fact  still 
remains  thai   1082  of  our  churches   made  no  contributions  this 

fiscal    \  eai. 

We  notice  a  very  gratifying  increase   in   the  amounts   con 
tributed  from  churches  and  Sunday-schools     about   2384,  or   i:; 

percent,   in  all.      This  is  ail  indication  of  what  the  Board  could 

do  if  the  remaining  4082  churches   had  dune  their  dutv  lasl 


50  COLLEGES    AND    ACADEMIES.  [1892. 

year.  As  it  is,  the  Board  lias  been  able  to  grant  about  one-half 
the  aid  absolutely  needed  by  the  institutions  on  its  roll. 

We  find  that  by  far  the  greater  number  of  institutions  on 
the  roll  of  the  Board  are  scattered  over  the  great  interior  AVest. 
On  this  coast  only  six  institutions,  three  in  Washington,  two 
in  Oregon  and  one  in  California,  have  been  in  condition  to 
avail  themselves  of  the  Board's  aid,  while  the  whole  number 
aided  wrere,  colleges  17  and  academies  21,  or  a  total  of  38. 
This  is  a  mere  exhibition  of  facts  and  not  a  reflection  upon  the 
Board. 

The  amount  of  aid  actually  granted  is  not  by  any  means  the 
whole  of  the  Board's  work.  It  is  not  a  mere  distributing 
agency.  It  exercises  a  general  supervisory  watch  and  care  over 
all  these  institutions.  The  property  secured  to  the  church 
through  the  instrumentality  and  aid  of  the  Board  foots  up  a 
grand  total  of  #1, 184,999. 

We  are  gratified  to  learn  that  the  Board  requires  ajded 
institutions  not  to  go  in  debt,  at  least  not  beyond  what  they  can 
reasonably  expect  to  pay  within  a  short  time.  Paying  old 
debts  is  a  very  discouraging  business,  and  contracting  debts  is 
one  of  those  things  which  should  be  left  off  before  it  is  begun. 
Nothing,  perhaps,  has  ruined  so  many  promising  institutions 
as  a  fatal  facility  for  getting  in  debt,  and  our  counsel  to  those 
who  have  done  so  is  to  get  out  as  speedily  as  possible,  and  then 
stay  out. 

The  Board  asks  for  counsel  on  several  important  practical 
matters.  It  appears  that  some  institutions  determine  their  own 
location  or  sites,  not  always  wisely,  and  then  through  Presby- 
teries  and  Synods  demand  aid.  And  the  Board  asks  us  how  it 
shall  treat  such  institutions.  Our  answer  is  that  if  they  refuse 
to  co-operate  with  the  Board  in  the  determination  of  sites,  they 
he  left  to  get  out  of  their  own  difficulties.  We  are  of  opinion 
that  as  between  flourishing  institutions  soon  to  become  inde- 
pendent of  the  Board,  and  newer  ones  which  cannot  hope  soon 
to  be  self-supporting,  the  former  should  receive  the  larger  aid, 
that  the  Board  may  the  sooner  be  relieved  of  their  charge. 

The  danger  is  ami  long  has  been  of  having  too  many  col- 
]  iges  within  a  limited  area,  which  only  hinder   and  cripple  one 

i

another.  The  old  cry  of  "Too  many  colleges"  is  likelv  to 
prove  very  damaging  to  the  work  of  this  most  useful  and 
important  Board.  In  most  cases  the  number  of  academies 
needs  to  be  increased,  that  the  colleges  may  have  an  adequate 

supply  of  well-prepared  students;  and   these  s< ndary  schools 

mm. n  become  able  to  pay  their  own  expenses,  and  thus  relieve 
the  Board  of  further  charge  on  their  account.  There  are  few 
things  more  urgent  than  the  multiplication  of  these  academies 
and  secondary  schools.  They  not  only  meet  local  wants,  but 
are  essential  to  the  success  and  usefulness  of  colleges.  And, 
besides  all,  and  greater  than  all,  there  come  out  of  these  schools 
large  numbers  of  ministers  of  the  Gospel,  who  get  their  start 
and  their  first  impulse  in  these  schools. 

In  the  matter  of  appeals  to  the  churches  independently  of 
the  Board,  the  evil  is  likely  to  continue  as  long  as  the  churches 
themselves  will  permit  it.  Tie  only  effectual  remedy  is  in 
their  hands,  and  this  General  Assembly  is  urged  to  enjoin  upon 
the  churches  the  utmost  care  in  this  matter,  and  to  discourage 
all  such  application  for  help.  We  are  aware  that  in  the  gift  of 
money  the  churches  have  a  right  to  determine  where  ami  to 
whom  it  shall  go;  hut  we  submit  that  having  established  this 
Board,  loyalty  to  the  Church  demands  that  local  churches 
should  see  to  it  that  the  Board  is  not  robbed  of  its  dues.  If 
local  institutions  demand  support,  let  that  be  special,  and  the 
usual  collections  for  the  Board  be  sent  to  its  Treasurer. 

A  very  pleasing  feature  in  aided  institutions  is  the  attention 
which  the  Board  requires  to  be  given  to  Bible  study.  It  pro- 
poses, if  the  Assembly  shall  so  direct,  to  require  systematic 
Bible  instruction  in  all  aided  institutions  as  a  condition  of 
receiving  aid.  The  English  Bible,  aside  from  religious  and 
spiritual  teaching,  is  "the  well  of  English  pure  and  undefiled," 
the  best  classic  in  the  English  tongue,  and  should  have  the  pre- 
eminence in  schools. 

In  addition  to  larger  contributions  from  the  churches  the 
Board  needs  and  should  have  large  individual  contributions  for 
endowment  purposes.  The  church  collections  are  used  Largely 
for  meeting  current  expenses.  Endowment  funds  are  invested 
and  the  interest  used  a-  a  perennial  stream  of  beneficence,  doing

good  for  generations  after  the  donors  have  gone  to  their  reward 
in  heaven.  This  fund  must  be  kept  up  and  increased  mostly 
by  considerable  amounts  from  individual  givers.  May  the  Lord 
put  it  into  the  hearts  of  rich  men  to  do  so  good  and  great  a 
thing  as  this. 

In  conclusion  we  offer  the  following  resolutions: 

1.  That  we  heartily  commend  the  fidelity  and  wisdom  with 
which  the  Board  has  conducted  its  affairs  during  the  past  year. 

2.  That  we  approve  of  the  purpose  of  the  Board  to  require 
the  systematic  study  of  the  Bible  as  a  condition  of  receiving  aid 
from  its  funds. 

3.  That  we  urge  the  necessity  of  increased  contributions 
in  support  of  this  cause,  and  enjoin  upon  non-contributing 
churches  not  to  fail  in  their  duty  to  this  Board  in  the  coming 
year. 

4.  That  while  we  utter  a  WA>rd  of  caution  against  the  undue 
multiplying  of  colleges,  within  limited  areas,  we  recommend 
the  multiplication  of  academies  or  secondary  schools  wherever 
it  can  be  wisely  done. 

5.  And  finally,  that  Ave  urge  aided  institutions  to  use  their 
utmost  endeavors  to  arrive  at  self-support  at  the  earliest  prac- 
ticable moment. 

Your  Committee  find  that  the  term  of  service  of  the  follow- 
ing members  of  the  Board  expires  at  this  General  Assembly: 

Jfiiu'sters — Herrick  Johnson,  D.D.,  LL.D.,  S.  J.  McPher- 
son,  D.D.,  J.W.  Diasmore,  D.D.,  and  John  L.Withrow,  D.I).  ; 
Laymen — Charles  31.  Charnley,  Hon.  Homer  N.  Hibbard,  lion. 
Robert  II.  McClellan,  and  W,  II.  Swift. 

The  Committee  recommend  their  re-election,  except  Rev. 
J.  W.  Diusmore,  D.D.,  resigned;  in  place  of  Dr.  Dinsmore  wq 
recommend  the  election  of  Rev.  YV.  D.  Kane,  D.D.,  i.A'  Bloom- 
ington,  II!.,  and  in  place  of  Rev.  .1.  II.  Worcester,  Jr.,  D.D., 
resigned,   we  recommend  the  election  of    Rev.   David    R.   Breed, 

I ).!).,  of  Chicago,  111. 

The  new  Secretary,  Dr.  E.  C.  Ray.  is  in  the  house,  and  we 
desire  that  he  may  he  heard.       Respectfully  submitted. 

William  Alexander,  Cliairman. 


REPORT     OK    THE 


APPOINTED     P.Y 


THE  GENERAL  ASSEMBLY 


THE    PRESBYTERIAN    CHURCH 

IN    THE    UNITED    STATES    OF    AMERICA, 
1892. 


The  General  Assembly's  Special  Committee  on  Systematic  Beneficence 
respectfully  presents  herewith  its  Thirteenth  Annual  Report. 

One  year  ago,  at  his  earnest  request,  the  Rev.  Dr.  Pomeroy,  Chairman 
of  the  Committee,  was  permitted  to  lay  down  the  burdens  of  the  office,  which 
for  seven  years  he  had  borne  with  signal  success.  His  resignation  was 
regretted  profoundly  throughout  the  Church,  and  by  no  one  more  deeply  than 
by  his  successor. 

In  undertaking  the  duties  of  the  important  position  to  which  the  last 
General  Assembly  called  him,  the  present  Chairman  was  led  naturally  to 
re\  iew  the  past,  to  consider  the  present,  and  to  plan  for  the  future. 


REVIEWING     THE     PAST. 
WHAT  HAS  BEEN  ACCOMPLISHED  BY  THE  COMMITTEE? 


In  1879  the  Assembly's  Standing  Committee  on  Benevolence  made  a 
most  discouraging  report,  in  which  the  following  sentences  occur:  "Every 
Board  in  our  Church  has  received  less  from  the  churches  in  1876-77  than  in 
1875-76,  and  less  in  1877-78  than  In  1876-77.  We  are  retreating,  therefore, 
along  the  whole  line ;  and  there  is  not  near  as  much  said  on  the  subject  of 
systematic  beneficence  now  as  there  was  years  ago-    It  is  not  now  agitated, 


and  consequently  progress  is  not  made.  This  object  is  one  that  must  be 
constantly  pressed,  for  there  is  ever  and  persistently  against  it  the  tide  of 
human  selfishness,  which  ever  flows  and  never  ebbs."   (Minutes,  1879,  p.  622.) 

The  report  rehearses  the  failure  of  former  attempts  "to  systematize  and 
develop  the  liberality  of  our  Church,"  and  recommends  the  appointment  of  a 
new  Committee,  whose  chief  duties  should  be  those  of  organization  and  in- 
struction. Of  this  Committee  the  Rev.  I.  Williams  Cochran  was  made 
Chairman.  Under  his  enthusiastic  leadership  the  Committee  began  its 
work.  His  report  a  year  later  showed  an  increase  over  the  previous  year  of 
1325  collections,  and  $225,206  in  contributions.  Through  correspondence  10 
Synods  and  66  Presbyteries  were  led  to  appoint  Committees  on  Systematic 
Beneficence,  and  by  another  year  all  but  5  of  our  home  Synods  and  37 
of  our  Presbyteries  had  taken  similar  action. 

The  following  table,  compiled  from  the  figures  in  the  Minutes  of  the 
General  Assembly,  will  show,  without  the  necessity  of  tracing  the  history  in 
detail,  the  advance  which  has  been  made  from  year  to  year.  For  the  purpose 
of  comparison  we  give  also  the  figures  for  the  three  years  preceding  the 
appointment  of  the  Committee.

*  This  large  increase  was  due  to  the  Centenary  Fund  for  the  Board  of  Ministerial  Relief. 

These  figures  are  instructive.  While  our  growth  in  number  of  communi- 
cants since  1879  has  been  40.4  per  cent.,  our  gifts  for  all  objects  have 
increased  69  per  cent,  and  those  for  objects  represented  by  our  Boards  by  an 
average  of  80  per  cent,  per  member. 

We  should  scarcely  feel  warranted  in  claiming  for  the  Committee  the 
entire  credit  for  this  gratifying  improvement.  But  that  it  has  been  one  of 
the  chief  agents,  if  not  the  chief  agent,  in  bringing  it  about,  there  can  be 
little  doubt.  The  tide  turned  when  it  began  its  work.  It  has  organized  the 
Church,  until  scarcely  a  Presbytery  remains  without  its  Committee  on 
Systematic  Beneficence.  It  has  instructed  the  Church  until  now  by  its  efforts 
"  The  Worship  of  God  by  Offerings  "  forms  an  organic  part  of  our  "  Direc- 
tory for  Worship."  As  never  before  God's  people  are  recognizing  His  claim 
upon  their  property,  and  are  bringing  their  tithes  into  His  storehouse.  For 
their  efficient  labors  in  the  accomplishment  of  this  result,  this  Committee, 
and  especially  its  successive  Chairman — Rev.  I.  Williams  Cochran,  Rev. 
Arthur  Mitchell,  D.  D.,  and  Rev.  Charles  S.  Pomeroy,  D.  D.,  deserve  grate- 
ful recognition. 


BUT    WHAT    OF    THE     PRESENT? 


Gratifying  as  the  success  of  the  Committee  has  heen,  there  is  much  land 
still  to  be  possessed.  The  work  by  no  means  has  all  been  done.  We  have 
won  as  yet  scarcely  more  than  the  outposts. 

Such  facts  as  these  demand  our  solemn  consideration  : 

i.     One-half   the.  offerings    due    from    our    Churches  are   not  made. 

By  the  report  of  this  Committee  to  the  last  Assembly  (corrected  by  the 
later  returns  of  the  Board  of  Foreign  Missions;  it  appears  that  in  all  of  our 
Churches  28,287  collections  were  taken  for  our  Boards.  We  had  at  the 
beginning  of  the  year  6,894  Churches,  from  each  one  of  which  nine  offerings 
were  due.  In  other  words,  there  were  62,046  blanks  to  fill  in  the  benevolent 
columns  of  the  General  Assembly's  Minutes.  Accordingly  33,759  blanks 
were  unfilled.  If  Sustentation  be  considered  a  part  of  Home  Missions,  and  a 
corresponding  deduction  made,  there  will  still  remain  the  astounding  number 
of  26,865  untaken  collections. 

The  following  table  will  show  the  number  of  contributing  and  non-con- 
tributing Churches  for  the  year  ending  April  1,  1892.

*  As  this  Board  does  not  close  its  books  until  May  1,  the  correct  number  could  not 
be  obtained  in  time  fur  this  report,  hence  that  of  last  year  is  retained. 

The  figures  in  the  last  column  are  found  by  subtracting  the  number  of  contributing 
Churches  from  7,070—  the  number  of  Churches  April  1,  1891. 

2.  In  contributing  Churches  it  is  probable  that  half  the  communicants 
take  no  part  in  the  worship  of  God  by  offerings. 

Here,  for  example,  is  a  Church  of  over  500  members  in  one  of  our  promi- 
nent cities.  It  fills  every  blank  in  the  Assembly's  Minutes.  Its  gifts  to  all 
objects,  aside  from  congregational  expenses,  averaged  last  year  5?. 09  per 
member — less  than  a  cent  a  day.  And  yet  there  were  devoted  people  among 
its  members,  some  of  whom  gave  a  hundred,  smiie  fifty,  some  ten  dollars  to 
help  make  up  this  average.  The  conclusion  is  irresistible  that  the  majority 
of  its  members  gave  little  or  nothing. 

This  is  not  an  exceptional  case.  In  the  Churches  that  contribute  most 
generouslv  to  benevolent  objects,  it  is  too  often  the  large  gifts  of  the  compara- 
tively few  which  swell  the  amount,  while  the  many  are  content  with  no  offer- 
ing to  the  Lord.  Not  infrequently  out  of  a  whole  family  of  Church  members, 
the  husband  and  father  is  the  only  one  whose  alms  go  up  to  God  with  his 
prayers,  whereas  not  one  of  them  should  appear  "  empty  "  before  the  Lord — 
each  should  "  bring  an  offering  and  come  into  His  courts." 

Non-givers  are  not  confined  to  non-contributing  Churches.  There  is  an 
untold  host  of  them  in  the  Churches  which  "  till  all  the  Man! 


3.  To  draw  the  lines  still  more  closely,  Scriptural  beneficence  has  taken 
but  little  hold  even  upon  the  givers  in  our  Churches.  The  Word  of  God 
demands  a  giving  proportioned  to  income.  But  men  give  as  a  rule  because 
the  collection  plate  is  passed,  or  under  the  impulse  of  some  stirring  appeal. 
Many  congregations  have  introduced  a  system.  They  make  their  offerings 
at  the  appointed  times,  or  on  each  Lord's  day.  But  there  they  stop.  They 
do  not  give  as  the  Lord  has  prospered  them.  They  do  not  return  to  Him  a 
generous  percentage  of  what  He  places  in  their  hands.  They  do  not  consider 
themselves  as  His  stewards.  They  put  a  dime  where  they  should  put  a  dollar 
or  more  into  His  treasury. 

The  Presbyterian  Church  in  the  United  States  of  America  is  reputed  to 
be  a  wealthy  and  generous  Church.  Doubtless  its  liberality  extends  in 
many  directions,  concerning  which  the  Assembly's  statistical  tables  are 
silent.  But  its  benevolent  gifts  for  the  year  ending  April  i,  1891,  as  reported 
in  the  Minutes,  represented,  on  the  scale  of  offerings  commanded  under  the 
Old  Testament  dispensation,  an  average  daily  income  of  only  fifteen  cents 
per  member.  With  the  most  generous  allowance  for  outside  benevolence,  we 
are  falling  unquestionably  far  short  of  the  Old  Testament  standard.  What- 
ever our  views  regarding  the  continued  obligation  of  the  tithe,  we  can  scarcely 
conceive  that  the  Christian  Church  with  the  world  to  evangelize  can  be 
blameless  under  a  lower  standard  of  liberality  than  that  which  God  set  up 
for  His  ancient  people.  Comparatively  few  of  our  members  are  ready  to 
adopt  an  equally  generous  rule,  while  thousands  upon  thousands  do  not  seem 
to  recognize  that  God  has  any  claim  upon  their  property. 

The  following  table  shows  the  receipts  of  the  Boards  for  the  year

PLANNING    FOR    THE    FUTURE. 


This  outlook  over  the  field  suggests  to  the  Committee  its  leading  hues  of 
work,  viz. : 

1st. — To  secure  a  contribution  from  every  Church  for  every  Board. 
2d. — To  influence  every  member  of  every  Church  to    contribute   to 

every  Board. 
3d.— To  lead  Cod's  people  worshipfully  to  give  to  Him  a  generous 
percentage  of  their  income  in  recognition  of  His  just  claim  upon 
their  all. 
Brethren,  pray   for   your   Committee.      You    have  entrusted  to  it  a 
mighty  work. 

For  the  accomplishment  of  these  ends  it  was  apparent  that  a  vigorous 
campaign  of  education  needed  to  be  undertaken.  The  documents  issued  in 
previous  years  had  done  excellent  work,  and  warranted  their  continuance. 
One  such,  Document  No.  31, was  prepared  in  the  interest  of  the  "  Presbyterian 
Union  of  Proportionate  Givers,"  and  about  10,000  copies  of  it  have  been 
circulated,  while  there  has  been  a  ste ady  call  throughout  the  year  for  Docu- 
ment No.  30,  "  The  Best  Way  of  Giving."  The  admirable  Documents 
issued  by  Mr.  Thos.  Kane,  a  member  of  this  Committee,  have  also  had  a 
wide  circulation,  the  credit  for  which  however,  is  due  to  Mr.  Kane  alone. 

But  the  expense  of  postage,  with  the  limited  funds  at  the  disposal  of  the 
Committee,  was  a  practical  prohibition  of  any  large  work  in  this  direction, 
and  a  large  work  needs  to  be  done.  To  reach  simply  our  ministers  once  with 
one  document  o>sts  over  Sixty  dollars  for  postage  alone.  To  undertake  the 
work  through  our  Church  periodicals  would  reach  only  those  already  the 
most  interested,  and  leave  untouched  the  tens  of  thousands  most  in  need  of 
instruction  in  the  work  of  our  Boards,  and  in  the  principle  of  proportionate 
giving.  The  problem  found  solution  at  last  in  the  issuance  of  a  monthly 
paper,  which  was  called  TM1-:  CHRISTIAN  SriWARO.  It  was  the  desire  of 
the  Committee  to  make  this  a  tree  paper.       But  upon  conference  with  the 


Post  Office  Department  at  Washington,  it  was  found  that  as  a  free  paper  it 
was  impossible,  under  any  construction  of  the  law,  to  enter  it  as  "  second-class 
mail  matter."  Only  periodicals  for  which  a  subscription  price  is  charged  can 
be  so  entered.  The  advantage  of  having  it  thus  entered  will  be  apparent 
from  a  simple  statement.  For  instance,  the  postage  on  the  20,000  copies  sent 
through  the  mails  in  April  was  about  seven  dollars,  whereas  the  cost  of  their 
distribution,  had  they  not  been  second-class  matter,  would  have  been  nearly 
two  hundred  dollars — a  saving  of  $193  in  postage  in  a  single  month.  Accord- 
ingly a  subscription  price  was  fixed,  and  to  keep  faith  with  the  Government 
must  be  insisted  upon.  But  it  was  made  so  low  that  the  poorest  can  afford 
to  pay  it — in  fact  less  than  the  postage  would  otherwise  be,  that  is  to  say,  ten 
cents  for  twelve  copies.  At  the  same  time  it  should  be  remembered  by  any 
who  would  deprecate  the  starting  of  a  new  periodical,  that  this  paper  is  but 
the  continuance  by  another  method  of  the  work  heretofore  done  by  the  Com- 
mittee in  the  issuance  of  "  Documents  "—a  work  which  can  be  vastly 
enlarged  through  the  saving  effected  in  the  matter  of  postage,  a  work  which, 
so  far  as  it  is  successful,  will  help  not  only  the  Boards  of  the  Church,  but 
each  of  its  periodicals  and  magazines.  The  good  already  accomplished  con- 
firms your  Committee  in  the  belief  that  the  paper  will  prove  a  potent  agent  in 
stimulating  the  beneficence  of  the  Church,  and  in  raising  God's  people  to  a 
much  higher  plane  of  principled  giving.  Starting  six  months  ago,  with  an 
issue  of  10,000  copies,  it  has  now  reached  a  monthly  circulation  of  22,000, 
and  continues  to  grow  with  nearly  each  day's  mail.  Scores  of  pastors  and 
sessions  have  subscribed  for  their  entire  Church  ;  and  several  instances  are 
already  at  hand  where  under  its  influence  plans  of  beneficence  have  been 
introduced  into  Churches,  which  heretofore  have  given  nothing  to  our  Boards. 

Your  Committee  knows  no  means  at  once  so  inexpensive,  so  practicable, 
and  so  full  of  encouragement,  in  the  prosecution  of  its  work  of  education,  as 
this  little  monthly. 

"The  Presbyterian  Union  of  Proportionate  Givers  "  has  received  the 
repeated  endorsement  of  the  General  Assembly.  The  principle  underlying 
this  Union  is  that  giving  should  be  proportioned  to  prosperity.  It  is  a  Scrip- 
tural principle  found  everywhere  in  the  Word,  from  the  commands  of  Moses 
to  the  teachings  of  Christ  and  His  inspired  followers.  Because  Scriptural,  it 
is  the  true,  and  the  only  true,  principle.  Nothing  else  will  solve  the  problem 
of  ecclesiastical  finance.  Only  embarrassment  and  debt  can  be  expected 
until  the  teachings  of  God's  Word  on  this  subject  shall  have  taken  a  firm 
hold  upon  the  conscience  and  heart  of  the  Church.  Methods  are  important, 
but  this  is  all  important.  Shrewd  devices,  special  appeals,  the  "spur  of  a 
debt,"  may  relieve  a  present  distress,  but  they  will  not  effect  a  permanent 
cure.  Only  the  Divine  remedy  will  accomplish  that.  Your  Committee  trusts 
that  this  Assembly  will  repeat  its  former  utterances  on  this  subject  and  with 
such  added  emphasis  that  pastors  and  elders  will  feel  constrained  to  listen 
and  to  act.  Let  our  Sessions  resolve  to  adopt  God's  plan,  and  the  windows 
of  heaven  will  be  opened,  and  a  blessing  poured  out  "  that  there  shall  not  be 
room  enough  to  receive  it."  The  Lord  has  said  it,  and  He  will  be  true  to  His 
promise.  Our  Church  needs  a  revival  ;  here  is  a  Divine  method  of 
securing  it. 

The  space  allotted  to  this  report  necessitates  the  omission  of  much  that 
should  be  said.  We  content  ourselves  accordingly  with  the  following  sug- 
gestions. 

6 


The  Rev.  Edward  C.  Ray,  D.  D., having  accepted  a  Secretaryship  in  one 

of  our  Boards,  resigns  his  place  upon  this  Committee.       Mr.  Walter  Carter 
also  has  placed  his  resignation  in  the  hands  of  the  Chairman. 

The  Committee  has  received  during  the  year  gifts,  amounting  to  $497.25, 
for  the  prosecution  of  its  work,  all  of  which  have  been  thankfully  acknow- 
ledged in  the  columns  of  Thh  Christian  Steward,  and  used  in  its 
circulation  among  the  elders  of  our  Church. 

As  many  Churches  place  all  of  their  benevolent  offerings  in  a  common 
fund,  and  look  to  the  General  Assembly  for  guidance  in  its  wise  distribution, 
it  is  important  that  the  Assembly  recommend  a  schedule  of  percentage  for 
the  division  among  the  Boards  of  all  such  undesignated  gilts. 

Attention  should  be  called  to  the  perplexities  and  ills  resulting  from  the 
practice  of  so  many  Sessions  and  individuals  in  withholding  their  gifts  to  the 
Boards  until  near  the  close  of  their  fiscal  year.  For  example,  during  the  first 
ten  months  of  the  present  year  the  Board  of  Foreign  Missions  received 
$489,239.14,  leaving  over  $500,000  to  be  received  during  the  last  two  months 
of  the  year,  in  order  to  meet  the  obligations  which  the  last  Assembly 
warranted  it  to  contract.  A  similar  state  of  affairs  exists  with  all  the  Boards. 
The  resulting  evils  are  many  and  great.  Contributions  should  be  forwarded 
as  soon  as  made. 

The  work  of  the  Boards  is  crippled  also  by  the  practice  of  many  pastors 
in  permitting  all  sorts  of  special  appeals  to  come  before  their  people.  Last 
year  we  gave  $1,325,696  to  miscellaneous  objects,  other  than  those  repre- 
sented by  our  Boards.  Undoubtedly  much  of  this  large  sum  was  wisely 
expended.  Equally  sure  are  we  that  much  of  it  would  have  been  expended 
far  more  wisely  had  it  gone  through  the  regularly  appointed  agencies  of  the 
General  Assembly.  We  do  not  advocate  sectarian  narrowness,  but  loyalty 
to  our  own  Church  and  agencies  seems  only  the  part  of  a  sanctified  common- 
sense.  Let  us  stand  by  the  Boards  in  their  magnificent  work,  and  see  that 
they  have  funds  sufficient  for  their  growing  needs  before  we  fill  the  purse  of 
every  peripatetic  solicitor. 

Again  we  would  repeat  the  suggestion,  offered  in  former  reports  of  this 
Committee,  "as  to  the  possible  wisdom  of  moving  in  an  apportionment 
among  the  Synods  of  the  amount  needed  by  our  several  Church  Boards  for 
the  ensuing  year.  This  plan  the  Synods  could  repeat  for  their  Presbyteries, 
and  they  for  the  individual  Churches.  Each  body  could  then  be  guided  in 
estimating  its  minimum  of  contribution  to  the  general  work."  While  we 
recognize  the  delicacy  and  difficulty  of  such  an  apportionment,  and  under- 
stand that  it  could  not  be  made  binding  upon  lower  judicatories,  we  also 
believe  that  if  wiselv  made  and  ottered  in  the  form  of  a  recommendation,  it 
would  be  generally  adopted  and  with  most  gratifying  results.  It  would  give 
to  every  Committee  on  Systematic  Beneficence  in  Synod  and  Presbytery,  and 
to  every  individual  Church,  a  definite  objective  point  towards  which  to  work. 
We  urge  the  consideration  of  this  subject  upon  the  Assembly,  and  in  &S2  no 
action  is  taken,  we  desire  permission  as  a  Committee,  to  undertake  the  work 
during  the  coming  year  in  a  purely  tentative  way. 

The  importance  of  systematic  and  proportionate  giving,  both  to  the  work 
of  the  Church  and  to  the  spiritual  lite  of  its  members,  is  fundamental.  We 
suggest  accordingly,  that  your  venerable  body  urge  upon  all  pastors  and 
stated  supplies  the  preaching  of  at  least  one  sermon  during  the  year  on  this 
subject,  and  upon  our  Theological  Seminaries  the  training  of  their  students  in 
the  teaching  ol  God's  Word  concerning  it.

Nor  should  such  instruction  be  confined  to  adults.  The  most  hopeful 
field  for  such  training  is  among  the  young.  Our  Sunday  Schools  and  Young 
People's  Societies  present  the  most  encouraging  opportunities  for  developing 
the  grace  of  liberality.  In  the  formative  period  of  life  let  right  principles  be 
instilled  into  the  heart,  and  right  habits  formed,  and  shortly  we  shall  have  a 
generation  which  will  regard  giving  to  the  Lord  as  a  high  and  holy  privilege. 

Finally,  we  desire  to  remind  the  Assembly  that  the  principles,  which  it 

has  appointed  this  Committee  to  urge  upon  the  Church,  form  the  foundation 

of  the  great  benevolent  structure  which  it  is  seeking  to  erect  for  the  glory 

of  God.      With  an  emphasis,  therefore,  still  more  loving  and  persuasive,  if 

that  be  possible,  than  in  past  years,  we  trust  that  its  voice  will  be  heard 

throughout  our  beloved  Zion  calling  every  disciple  of  Jesus  to  the  joyous 

experience  of  a  consecration  of  property  as  well  as  of  life  to  Him  and  to  His 

service. 

Respectfully  submitted, 

In  behalf  of  the  Committee, 

RUFUS  S.  GREEN,  Chairman. 

Walter  Carter,  Secretary.

The  Eleventh  Annual  Report 

OF  THE 

GENERAL  ASSEMBLY'S 

Permanent  Committee  on  Temperance 

FOR  THE  YEAR  ENDING  MAY  1st,  1892. 


Presented  to  the  General  Assembly  at  Portland,  Oregon. 


Your  Permanent  Committee  on  Temperance  respectfully  presents  its 
Eleventh  .  \  initial  Report,  together  with  the  minutes  of  its  meetings : 

FINANCES. 
From  the  appended  statement  of  our  Treasurer,  it  will  be  per- 
ceived that  the  contributions  received  have  varied  but  little  in 
amount  from  those  of  the  preceding  year,  the-  entire  sum  at  our 
disposal  being  $1,083.14.  It  was  found  necessary  to  the  SUCC< 
ful  prosecution  of  our  work,  to  secure  a  room.  We  have  also, 
as  authorized  by  the  General  Assembly,  incurred  a  moderate  ex- 
pense for  clerical  services. 

I  EMPERANCE  II  rERATURE. 

There  has  been  during  the  year,  such  increase  in  the  demand 
for  our  printed  matter  for  gratuitous  distribution,  that  we  have 
been  unable,  <>l  late,  to  meet  all  such  applications.  We  are  con- 
vinced that  the  value  of  this  method  of  promoting  the  cause  of 
temperance,  cannot  well  In-  overstated.  There  are  happily  many 
good  men  and  women  who  desire  the  privilege  ol  serving  the 
Master  in  judicious  tract  distribution,  and  the  Committee  would 
gladly  prosecute  this  work  more  extensively,  should  the  funds 
entrusted  to  it  permit. 

The  temperance  literature  printed  and  sent  abroad  during  the 
past  year,  comprises  mainly  the  following  tracts,  circulars  and 
cards,  viz.: 

The   Tenth  Annual   Report. 

No.  ().  The  Presbyterian  Church  and  Temperance. 

Temperance  Catechism,  by  1.  \.  Hays,  1).  1). 

N.>.  29,  Save  the  Children,  by  Rev.  J.  F.  Hill. 


No.  30.  The  Licensed  Saloon  Keeper  a  Privileged  Class  ;  deci- 
sion of  Supreme  Court. 

No.  178.     A  Thing  to  Cry  Over,  by  John  Hall,  D.  D. 

No.  121.  Is  there  Room  for  Me?  by  Rev.  H.  C.  Hovey. 

No.  31.  The  Great  Wrecker  of  Homes,  by  T.  DeWitt  Talmage,

No.  32.  Our  Enemy  and  the  Destroyer  of  Our  Country,  by  C.

No.  33.  Temperance  Instruction  in  the  Sabbath  School,  by 
George  Irwin. 

No.  34.     Communion  Wine,  by  I.  N.  Hays,  D.  D. 

The  Temperance  Covenant. 

Several  documents — constitutions,  circulars,  &c,  have  been 
printed  by  this  Committee  for  the  recently  organized  Woman's 
Executive  Committee  in  Philadelphia.  In  the  aggregate  more 
than  one  million  pages  have  been  issued  from  the  press.  A  very 
large  proportion  of  this  literature  has  been  sent  from  our  office  in 
Pittsburgh  through  the  mails,  in  small  packages,  to  those  applying 
for  it.  The  energetic  chairman  of  the  Synodical  Committee  of 
Missouri  has  distributed  a  large  amount  from  his  office  in  St. 
Louis.  Our  tract  publications  were  kept  on  the  tables  of  the  new 
Presbyterian  Headquarters  at  the  Assembly  grounds,  Chautauqua, 
New  York,  for  several  weeks  last  summer,  and  from  thence 
carried  into  many  hundreds  of  homes  in  all  parts  of  the  land.  In 
some  instances  we  have  sought  to  utilize  such  occasions  as  agricul- 
tural fairs,  teachers'  institutes,  &c,  and  to  avail  ourselves  of  meet- 
ings of  Synods  and  Presbyteries  for  the  scattering  of  the  seed  ; 
and  of  course,  in  many  hundreds  of  instances,  distribution  has 
been  made  at  church  and  in  the  Sabbath  School,  and  Young  Peo- 
ples' Society.      Thus  we  arc  seeking  "  to  sow  beside  all  waters." 

Besides  several  circulars,  three  tracts  have  been  published  for 
the  first  time,  during  the  year,  viz.,  Nos.  32,  33  and  34.  The  last 
is  "An  appeal  to  the  Authorities  of  the  Presbyterian  Church  in 
relation  to  Communion  Wine,"  prepared  by  Rev.  I.  N.  Hays,  D. 
I).,  Chairman  of  the  Permanent  Committee.  It  is  a  plea  for  the 
use  of  the  unfermented  "  fruit  of  the  trine"  in  the  observance  of 
the  Lord's  Supper.  This  is  urged,  on  the  ground  of  expediency. 
This  Committee  is  not  a  unit,  as  the  Church  is  not.  regarding  the 
merits  of  the  exegetical  questions  involved  in  the  communion  wine 


3 
discussion.  If,  however,  as  the  General  Assembly  has  decided, 
the  unfermented  juice  of  the  grape  may  be  used,  we  all  agree,  that 
it  is  greatly  to  be  desired  that  the  reformed  inebriate  approaching 
the  table  of  the  Lord,  should  be  spared  the  peril  involved  in  the 
presentation  to  him  of  an  intoxicating  liquor.  Besides,  it  is  a  no- 
torious fact,  that  so  genera]  is  the  adulteration  of  liquors,  that  the 
"wine"  of  commerce  is  not  to  any  appreciable  degree  entitled  to 
be  called  "the  fruit  of  the  vine." 

The  General  Assembly  has  made  it  the  duty  of  the  Permanent 
Committee  "to  seek  to  quicken  and  to  unite  our  Synods  and 
churches  in  suitable  measures  for  promoting  the  temperance  re- 
form." Besides  the  use  of  circulars  and  other  printed  documents, 
we  have  sought  to  promote  these  most  important  objects  by 

CORRESPONDENCE. 

The  small  amount  of  work  in  this  line,  which  we  have  found  it 
possible  to  compass,  seems  very  thin  and  meager,  when  spread 
oxer  so  vast  an  area,  yet  we  have  been  able  to  reach  with  someone 
or  more  communications  every  Synod  and  nearly,  if  not  quite, 
every  Presbytery  of  our  Church  in  this  country.  Our  correspond- 
ence with  Synodical  and  Presbyterial  Committees  on  Temperance, 
with  stated  clerks  and  with  many  friends  of  the  cause  in  our  own 
body,  and  with  representatives  of  sister  churches  and  temperance 
organizations  in  the  United  States  and  Canada  ;  correspondence 
relating  to  petition  work  and  letters  to  officials  at  Washington, 
inquiries  and  answers  to  inquiries  about  literature,  letters  .  ,|  a 
Strictly  business  character,  correspondence  relating  to  temperance 
organization  in  church  ami  Sabbath  School,  relating  to  women's 
and  Christian  Endeavor  work  for  temperance  ;  to  Presbyterial  tem- 
perance institutes,  to  popular  meetings  at  Synods  and  negotiating 
arrangements  for  addresses  at  such  popular  meetings  letters  on 
these  and  other  phases  of  the  work  have  reached  an  aggregate  of 
nearly  one  thousand  in  the  year. 

Communications  were-  sent  t<>  Synods  invoking  their  influence  at 
Washington  regarding  the  liquor  traffic  on  the  Congo.  The  action 
requested  was  taken  by  Eourteen  Synods. 

Very  recently  we  have  communicated  with  all  the  Presbyteries, 
suggesting  efforts  to  pre\ent  the  opening  of  the  Columbian  Ex- 
position on  the  Lord's  A.i\ ,  and  the  sale  of  intoxicating  liquors 
within  its  enclosure  ;  also  t<>  prevent  the  adoption  of  a  bill  now 
pending  in  the  Congress  of  the  United  States  for  the  licensing  of 
the  alcoholic  liquor  traffic  in  Alaska.

We  have  already  received  the  gratifying  intelligence  from  many 
Presbyteries  that  the  proposed  action  has  been  taken. 

THE  TEMPERANCE  NARRATIVE 

which  the  General  Assembly  has  urged  each  Presbytery  to  forward 
to  this  committee,  has  often  in  past  years  been  conspicuous  by  its 
absence.  It  is  to  be  regretted,  that  some  chairmen  postpone  the 
forwarding  of  their  reports  to  us,  until  after  the  usual  spring  meet- 
ing of  their  Presbytery.  Reports  are  even  now  at  this  writing, 
reaching  us  every  day,  and  probably  quite  a  considerable  number 
will  arrive  too  late  to  be  utilized  in  this  report  to  the  Assembly. 
Supplementing  the  data,  which  the  Presbyterial  reports  furnish 
us  by  that  contained  in  reports  of  Synodical  Committees  which 
have  come  into  our  hands,  we  probably  obtain  a  fairly  accurate 
apprehension  of  the  "situation,"  as  to  the  temperance  work  in  the 
bounds  of  every  Synod  in  the  country,  except  those  of  Texas  and 
Indian  Territory,  from  which  no  reports  have  as  yet  arrived. 

The  fact  is  developed,  that  from  Presbyterian  pulpits  everywhere, 
there  is  inculcation  of  the  duty  of  temperance,  and  warning  and 
rebuke,  regarding  the  peril  and  guilt  of  the  opposite  vice.  Most 
ministers  preach  one  or  more  sermons  specifically  on  the  subject, 
while  others  deem  it  best  to  make  frequent  incidental  reference 
to  it.  In  many  churches  there  are  occasional  temperance  meet- 
ings, with  addresses  and  distribution  of  literature. 

Almost  universally  the  subject  receives  some  measure  of  atten- 
tion  in  the  teachings  of  the  Sabbath  school,  and  in  many  churches 
the  Young  People's  Society  has  a  temperance  committee.  An  in- 
creased number  of  Sabbath  schools,  but  as  yet  a  small  proportion 
of  the  whole  number,  have  societies,  bands  or  other  provision  for 
special  instruction  and  training  of  the  youth  in  temperance  prin- 
ciples and  habits. 

While  all  the  Synods  and  nearly  every  Presbytery  have  now  a 
temperance  committee,  but  a  small  number  comparatively  of  the 
Sessions  have  as  yet  complied  with  the  recommendation  of  the 
General  Assembly  in  this  regard.  The  reply  of  many  Sessions  to 
the  question  addressed  to  them  on  this  subject,  implies  that  the 
existence  in  their  communities  of  the  Women's  Christian  Temper- 
ance Union  and  other  similar  societies,  and  the  excellent  work 
done  by  them,  .seemed  to  render  specific  church  work  for  temper- 
ance unnecessary. 

The  noble  service  rendered  by  these  Christian,  though  unde- 
nominational, Temperance    Unions,    is    cordially    commended    in 


5 
man\f  reports.  From  various  quarters,  however,  there  conic  indi- 
cations of  a  growing  conviction,  which  may  be  voiced  in  the  lan- 
guage of  the  report  of  the  Presbytery  of  Portsmouth,  "There 
ought  to  be  temperance  organization  in  every  Church  and  Sabbath 
School.  The  Church  is  God's  organization  and  is  exactly  suited  to 
the  work  of  redeeming  this  world  from  every  sin."  On  the  Church 
was  laid  the  duty  of  ministering  the  gospel  of  salvation  to  fallen 
man,  and  voluntary  associations,  however  admirable  in  purpose  and 
though  unexceptionable  in  methods,  while  they  may  supplement, 
must  not  be  allowed  to  supersede  the  work  of  the  church.  Each 
church  has  a  duty  which  it  cannot  relegate  to  others;  a  responsi- 
bility of  which  it  cannot  exonerate  itself. 

More  than  three-fourths  of  the  churches  report  efforts  made  tor 
the  enforcement  of  the  laws  requiring  scientific  temperance  instruc- 
tion in  the  public  schools.  In  the  States  of  Indiana  and  New 
Jersey  the  influence  of  the  liquor  power  has  thus  far  thwarted  all 
efforts  to  secure  such  benificent  legislation,  yet  some  of  the  new 
Jersey  churches  have  been  able,  through  local  educational  officials, 
to  have  the  scientific  truth  taught  in  their  schools,  regarding  the 
pernicious  influence  of  alcoholic  drinks  and  narcotics  on  the 
human  system. 

"  Has  the  antagonism  of  our  Church  to  the  liquor  traffic  and  her 
pronounced  aversion  to  the  legalizing  of  this  iniquity  been  duly  ad- 
vertised and  emphasized  ?"  was  the  fourth  question  in  our  circular  of 
inquiry.  Though  the  answers  are  not  always  categorical,  we  think 
we  may  record  them  as  "  affirmative  nine-tenths."  The  reiterated 
utterances  of  the  General  Assembly  as  to  intemperance  and  the 
traffic  in  strong  drink,  Leave  no  room  for  mistake  as  to  its  position 
and  the  Church  is  in  hearty  accord  with  these  utterances. 

After  several  years  trial  of  prohibitory  law  in  Iowa,  when  it  was 
recently  proposed  to  repeal  it,  our  brethren  there  protested  against 
the  change,  with  great  unanimity  and  with  intense  earnestness  and 
persistency.  The  Brooks  license  law  of  Pennsylvania  is  claimed 
and  generally  conceded  to  be  the  best  of  its  kind,  but  it  has  dis- 
appointed the  hopes  of  those  friends  of  temperance  who  were 
sanguine  as  to  its  results.  The  Synod  of  Pennsylvania  finds  thai 
the  reports  of  the  Presbyteries  present  the  following  facts  as  to 
the  traffic  in  that  State-  :  "  I .  That  the  traffic  in  intoxicating  drinks 
as  it  exists  within  the  bounds  of  this  Synod,  is  an  enemy  of  Christ 
and  His  Church,  and  the  cause  of  untold  evils  of  all  kinds. 
2.   That  the  traffic  has  no  respect  to  the  claims  of  God  and  human- 


ity.  It  is  willing  to  pay  the  fine  to  be  legalized,  but  whether 
licensed  or  not,  it  disregards  or  defies  the  laws  of  God  and  man. 
3.  That  no  license  system  either  restricts  or  represses  the  traffic." 

Less  than  three  hundred  churches  in  all  report  an)-  successful 
effort  to  reclaim  the  drunkard.  Some  report,  "  no  drunkards  in 
this  vicinity."  The  Presbytery  of  Iowa  reports  that  "  in  more  than 
80  of  our  99  counties  the  open  saloon  is  not  found.  In  these  little 
work  is  called  for"  (in  reclaiming  drunkards  or  suppressing  sa- 
loons). From  the  few  reports  which  bring  us  the  glad  intelligence 
of  brands  having  been  plucked  from  the  burning,  we  present  here 
that  of  the  First  Presbyterian  Church  of  Morristown,  N.  J.,  show- 
ing what  has  been  done  and  what  may  be  done  by  Divine  grace 
through  faithful  and  persevering  Christian  effort.  Rev.  Dr.  Alfred 
Erdman,  the  pastor  of  that  church,  in  his  report  to  the  Temperance 
Committee,  of  the  Presbytery  of  Morris  and  Orange,  says: 

"Three  years  ago  the  Session  of  the  South  Street  Church,  after 
full  and  prayerful  deliberation,  recognizing  the  fact  that  the  church 
by  the  'ordinary'  methods  was  not  accomplishing  all  it  ought  in 
reaching  non-church  goers,  and  especially  the  victims  of  the  drink 
evil  and  of  the  saloon,  decided  to  open  a  'mission'  in  the  neigh- 
borhood of  the  saloons  themselves.  A  room  was  secured  and  fitted 
up,  a  superintendent — himself  a  reformed  drunkard — was  engaged 
and  the  work  began.  Since  then  (three  years  ago  this  month  )  an 
evangelistic  service  has  been  held  every  night  of  the  year.  As  a 
result,  scores  on  scores  have  been  reclaimed  from  drunkenness, 
whole  families  (before  never  or  but  rarely  seen  inside  the  house  of 
God)  have  been  brought  into  the  church,  and  still  the  work  goes 
on.     Not  a  week  passes  without  some  professed  conversions. 

We  do  not  make  use  of  the  pledge,  unless  desired  by  the  drunk- 
ard himself,  feeling  convinced,  as  we  do,  that,  unless  the  heart  be 
converted  through  faith  in  Jesus  Christ,  a  written  pledge  is  a  mere 
mockery  and  not  worth  the  paper  it  is  written  on. 

Xot  a  communion  season  passes,  that  some  are  not  received  into 
the  church,  who  before  were  profane  and  drunken  in  their  lives. 
The  pastor  and  young  men  and  a  few  godly  women  of  the  church 
assist  the  superintendent  of  the  mission  in  carrying  on  the  meet- 
ings and  in  visitation.     To  the  Lord  be  all  the  praise." 

A  few  churches  report  that  they  have  aided  intemperate  men, 
who  desired  to  avail  themselves  of  the  medical  treatment  known 
as  the  "  Keely  cure" 

In  a  very  large  majority  of  all  the  churches  reported,  consider- 
ation is  had  for  the  infirmity  of  the  weak,  and  the  unfermented 
juice  of  the  grape  is  substituted  at  the  communion  table  lor  the 
\\\\\:  of  commerce.

The  total  abstinence  pledge  is  circulated  and  extensively  signed 
in  many  churches  and  Sabbath  Schools.  To  our  inquiry  on  this 
point  one  church  answers,  "No  pledge.     We  arc  all  temperate" 

misapprehending,  as  we  conceive,  the  objeel  of  the  pledge.  It 
is  valuable  as  a  preventive  of  intemperance,  rather  than  as  a  rem- 
edy. Frail  as  a  spider's  web,  will  be  found  the  protection  of  a 
mere  pledge  of  abstinence,  when  the  drunkard  is  swept  by  tempta- 
tion in  its  tornado  strength.  Only  in  the  "cleft  of  the  rock"  is  he 
secure.  Let  this  poor  sinner  be  faithfully  taught  that  he  must  re- 
nounce, not  one  sin  only,  but  sin  in  general  the  world  and  the 
de\  1,  as  well  as  the  flesh.  Let  him  "  take  the  cup  of  salvation  and 
call  on  the  name  of  the  Lord."  Then  will  he  indeed  "pay  his 
VOWS  in  the  presence  of  all  the  people."  Bui  to  those  not  yet  en- 
thralled by  appetite  and  habit,  especially  to  the  young,  for  whose 
unwary  feet  Satan's  snares  are  laid  on  every  side,  the  pledge,  ac- 
companied with  suitable  instruction,  may  prove  a  safeguard  of 
inestimable  value.  And  may  not  those  Christians  who  are  in  no 
:ial  peril  of  temptation,  in  this  regard,  wield  an  influence  for 
good  by  publicly  taking  the  pledge? 

Xo  very  signal  victory  is  reported  in  the  war  with  the  saloon. 
The  enemy  is  strong.  1 1  is  forces  are  thoroughly  organized  and  en- 
trenched. Hundreds  of  millions  are  in  his  treasury,  taken  from 
iptivcs.  Our  people  certainly  have  kept  up  the  fight,  giving 
tin-  enemy  no  peace.  But  our  desultory  warfare,  while  good  for 
us,  does  not  seriously  affect  him.  We  are  probably  regarded,  as 
a  regular  arm}-  regards  guerrillas  an  occasion  of  annoyance,  but 
not  of  serious  apprehension. 

The  list  of  "obstacles  encountered  in  temperance  work"  is  varied 
and  long.  The  most  conspicuous  may  be  summarized  as  appetite, 
apathy  and  avarice.  To  this  evil  trinity  appetite  in  the  drunk- 
ard, greed  in  the  liquor  maker  and  seller,  and  indifference  in 
church  members,  are  traceable  most  of  the  unfavorable  conditions 
described.  Some  reports  suggest  that  the  indifference  complained 
of,  may  be  sometimes  due  to  secret  indulgence  ^>i  appetite,  or  to 
apprehension  of  pecuniar)-  loss.  Others  think  many  friends  of 
temperance  have  been  alienated  by  advocates  whose  zeal  was  not 
according  to  knowledge,  <>r  w  hose-  judgment  of  those  who  differed 
from  them  was  censorious.  To  whatever  cause  this  indifference  to 
a  matter  so  vital  to  the  progress  of  Christianity  may  be  due  the 
consciousness  of  its  existence  is  the  first  prerequisite  to  its  re-

moval.     "They  that  be  whole  need  not  a  physician,  but  they  that 
are  sick." 

That  intemperance  is  at  least  one  of  the  greatest  obstacles  to  the 
extension  of  Christianity,  both  at  home  and  abroad,  will  be  con- 
ceded by  every  Christian.  Patriotic  citizens  generally  admit  the 
humiliating  fact,  that  the  arrogant  liquor  power  is  rapidly  pos- 
sessing itself  of  the  reins  of  municipal  authority  in  our  cities.  All 
the  religious  and  educational  institutions  of  a  large  city  are  unable 
to  wield  any  influence  comparable  to  that  of  the  saloon  keeper. 
No  Presbyterian,  so  far  as  we  know,  has  published  his  dissent 
from  the  reiterated  deliverances  of  the  General  Assembly  of  his 
Church,  characterizing  the  liquor  traffic  "as  the  principal  cause  of 
the  drunkenness  and  consequent  pauperism,  crime,  taxation,  lam- 
entation, war,  and  ruin  to  the  bodies  and  souls  of  men,  with  which 
the  country  has  so  long  been  afflicted."  All  this  admitted,  and 
yet  the  Presbyteries  tell  us  that  concerning  this  threatening  foe — ■ 
this  wicked  Haman,  there  is  apathy!  Only  the  power  of  the 
Spirit  of  God  can  arouse  us  from  our  lethargy,  and  influence  us 
to  make  the  principles  so  long  professed  by  our  Church,  regnant 
in  our  lives.  Who  knoweth  whether  we  be  come  to  the  Kingdom 
for  such  a  time  as  this?  This  mighty  foe  of  God  and  man  we 
know  shall  not  prevail,  but  sad  must  be  our  humiliation,  if  because 
we  were  asleep  at  the  supreme  moment,  deliverance  and  enlarge- 
ment should  arise  from  another  place. 

As  we  turn  from  the  perusal  of  these  presbyterial  temperance 
narratives  we  would  gladly  impart  to  the  General  Assembly  the 
good  cheer  regarding  the  work,  which  they  have  brought  to  us. 
There  is  encouragement  both  in  the  largely  increased  number  of 
reports  received,  and  also  in  the  interest  manifested  and  pains- 
taking care  exercised  in  their  preparation  by  many  of  the  Pres- 
byterial committees.  While  there  is  complaint  of  indifference, 
and  recital  of  many  obstacles  encountered,  and  of  some  reverses 
sustained,  yet  the  reports  in  general  are  characterized  by  an  un- 
faltering determination  to  persevere  in  the  good  work.  There  is 
delightful  frequency  in  the  recurrence  of  such  phrases  as  the  fol- 
lowing: "some  progress,"  "sentiment  rising,"  " decided  improve- 
ment," "the  cause  advancing,"  &c,  &c.  Throughout  these  utter- 
ances there  is  an  undertone  of  hopefulness  fitted  to  impel  us  all 
to  "gird  up  the  loins  of  our  minds,  be  sober  and  hope  to  the 
end."

l;h\  OND   OUR    BORDERS. 

/.(/:.■  <in J  Temperance. 

The  evil  influence  of  the  liquor  traffic  has  been  strongly  em- 
phasized by  the  Supreme  Court  of  the  United  States.  ( )f  great 
value  in  the  effort  to  banish  the  saloon  must  be  the  recent  deci- 
sion of  that  court  :  "There  is  no  inherent  right  in  a  citizen  to 
sell  intoxicating  liquors  by  retail  ;  it  is  not  a  privilege  of  the 
State  or  of  a  citizen  of  the  United  State-,." 

The  Congress  of  the  United  States  passed  a  hill  prohibiting  the 
sale  of  intoxicating  liquors  within  one  mile  of  the  Soldiers'  Home 
in  the  District  of  Columbia.  This  Congressional  action,  taken  in 
defiance  of  demands  of  the  Liquor  Power,  was  most  gratifying  to 
the  friends  of  Temperance.  Very  recently  a  bill  for  the  repeal  of 
this  action  has  been  introduced,  but  good  hope  is  entertained 
that  it  will  not  prevail. 

Another  bill  is  now  pending  in  Congress  for  the  repeal  of  the 
Act  of  [884,  whereby  the  sale  of  intoxicating  liquors  was  prohib- 
ited in  Alaska.  The  pending  hill  provides  for  license  of  the  traffic. 
To  many  the  question  raised  by  the  introduction  of  this  bill  will 
seem  of  trifling  moment,  the  region  being  so  remote  and  the  popu- 
lation so  sparse,  hew  realize  the  vast  area  of  Alaska,  equal  to 
all  that  part  of  our  country  between  the  M  ississippi  and  the  Atlan- 
tic ocean.  In  a  considerable  portion  of  the  territory,  too,  the 
climate  is  mild  and  the  soil  fertile.  The  rich  treasures  of  its 
mountains,  streams  and  forests  will  eie  long  attract  a  large  popu- 
lation. If  it  be  remembered  also  that  we  have  a  solemn  respon- 
sibility lor  its  Indian  inhabitants,  who  are  our  nation's  wards,  the 
question  whether  Alaska  shall  be  surrendered  to  alcohol,  cannot 
seem  of  slight  importance.  Presbyterians  will  feel  no  diminished 
interest  in  the  defeat  of  the  pending  bill,  when  the  fact  is  recalled 

that  the  Alaskan  prohibitory  law  which  this  bill  is  designed  to 
repeal  was  drafted  by  a  Presbyterian  minister  and  that  its  passage 
by  Congress  was  largely  due  to  the  efforts  of  a  Presbyterian 
layman. 

During  the  past  year  a  very  determined  attack  was  made  by  the 
liquor  interest  on  the  prohibitory  law  ol  Iowa.  The  good  people 
of  the  State  defended  the  law  with  great  energy  and  happily  with 
success.  They  tell  us  thai  while  tin-  State  has  been  growing  in 
population,  the  prison  population  has  steadily,  year  by  year,  de- 
creased    ami    the     savings     banks'     deposits     greatly     increased.

Schools  and  churches  are  filled,  joy  and  content  banish  sorrow 
and  strife  at  firesides.  Men  are  Christianized.  Thousands  once 
chained  to  the  curse  of  the  liquor  habit  are  men  once  more, 
"clothed  and  in  their  right  mind."  These  happy  results  they  at- 
tribute to  the  exclusion  of  the  drink  traffic. 

Within  the  last  month  the  legislature  of  Mississippi  has  enacted 
a  law  requiring-  scientific  temperance  instruction  in  every  grade  of 
the  public  schools  including  colleges  owned  or  aided  by  the  State. 
In  the  District  of  Columbia,  in  Alaska,  in  every  territory  and  in 
all  states  but  six  there  are  now  such  laws,  providing  that  the  children 
shall  be  forwarned  and  forarmed  against  the  peril  to  the  human 
system  of  the  use  of  alcoholic  liquor,  tobacco  and  all  narcotics. 
"  What  hath  God  wrought !"  This  wonderful  achievement  has  been 
brought  about  so  quietly,  that  the  fact  is  hardly  yet  realized  nor  its 
full  significance  apprehended.  "A  door  wide  and  effectual  is 
opened  unto  us."  Twenty  millions  of  children  sit  in  the  schools 
of  the  land.  Shall  they  fall  into  the  snare  of  the  fowler?  "Surely 
in  vain  is  the  net  spread  in  the  sight  of  any  bird."  The  law  fur- 
nishes the  teacher  and  commands  that  the  temperance  truths 
established  by  science  shall  be  taught.  It  only  remains  that  the 
good  people  of  the  land  see  to  it  that  the  requirements  of  the  law 
be  faithfully  observed  and  the  minds  of  these  children  and  youth 
be  filled  with  wholesome  dread  of  the  insidious  demon.  If  now, 
while  not  yet  fallen  under  the  fascination  of  the  fell  charmer's  eye, 
they  are  duly  warned  of  the  venom  of  his  fangs,  we  may  hope 
that  a  half  a  score  of  years  hence  we  shall  see  coming  forth  upon 
the  stage  of  action  a  generation  of  men  and  women  who  will  both 
bar  the  door  and  the  home  against  this  monster,  and  also  quickly 
drive  him  from  the  land. 

This  most  philanthropic  achievement,  the  securing  of  the  en- 
actment of  these  laws  throughout  our  country  is  due  under  God, 
to  the  abiding  faith,  and  the  unflagging  zeal  and  energy  of  one 
noble  Christian  woman.  Surely  coming  generations  "will  rise  up 
and  call  her  blessed." 

The Treat\- of  Brussells  providing  for  the  suppression  oftheslave 
trade  and  for  the  restriction  of  the  liquor  traffic  in  the  Congo  Free 
State  was  at  last  ratified  by  the  Senate  of  the  United  States  in  Jan- 
uary of  this  year.  Regarding  this  matter  the  General  Assembly 
had  directed  this  Committee  to  memorialize  the  Senate.  Fearing 
that  it  might  be  too  late  for  any  effective  effort,  we  addressed  the 
State  Department  at  Washington  and  learned  that  though  the  Sen- 


1 1 

ate  had  adjourned  without  ratifying  the  treat}-,  the  matter  wa 
garded  as  still  pending.  We  were  further  informed  that  by  ne- 
gotiation of  our  Secretary  of  State  with  the  King  of  Belgium,  the 
od  of  limitation  for  signature  originally  indicated  by  the 
Conference  had  been  extended,  so  that  while  the  treaty  should 
go  into  effect  as  to  other  signatory  powers  at  Jul_\-  2d,  the  ap- 
pointed time,  this  government  should  still  have  opportunity  to 
ratify,  after  the  reassembling  of  the  Senate. 

We  then  prepared  a  form  of  petition  to  the  Senate,  and  printed 
and  distributed  it  extensively,  in  all  parts  of  our  Church,  and  be- 
■  denominational  limits,  that  it  might  receive  the  signatures 
of  men  and  women,  the  endorsement    of  congregations, 
and  public  meetings.     Valuable  aid  was  rendered   by  the    !' 
both  secular  and  religious.     <  )ur  Presbyterian  papers  almost  every 
one  gave  prominent  place  in  their  columns  to  the  memorial   and 
our  appeal  accompanying  it,  and  in  hundreds  of  cases,  the   ; 
lion  clipped  from  the  newspaper  with  a  long  list  of  signatures  ap- 
pended returned  to  us,  through  the  mails.     The  Women's  Christ- 
ian Temperance  Union  of  the  United  States,  upon  the   suggestion 
of  the  President,  Miss  Willard,  joined  us  in  the  work,   colled 
many  signatures,  as  did  also  the  Women's  Christian  Temperance 
Alliance  of  Pennsylvania,  and  some  of  the  Women's   Missionary 
Societies  of  our  Church.      .Manx-  of  our  Synods  sent  to  us,  or  sent 
directly  to  their  Senators  their  endorsement  of  the  memorial. 

We  entered  into  correspondence  with  lion.  W.  1'.  Frye,  Sen 
from  Maine,  and  having  been  by  him  advised  as  to  the  most  oppor- 
tune time,  our  Chairman  and  Corresponding  Secretary  went  to 
hington  carrying  the  memorial  of  the  General  Assembly  ami 
other  petitions.  The  individual  signatures  added  to  the  entire 
constituency  of  the  bodies  whose  endorsement  had  been  given  to 
the  memorial  aggregated  more  than  one  million.  Satisfactory  in- 
terviews were  had,  not  only  with  lion.  Mr.  Frye,  but  with  several 
other  leading  members  of  th  .  whom  they  approached  upon 

his  suggestion.  (  hi  the  day  following  they  w  itnessed  the  presenta- 
tion of  these  petitions  to  the  Senate.  They  were  referred  to  the 
Committee  on  Fore  ign  Relations,  of  which  providentially  Senator 
Frye,  who  had  throughout  taken  so  deep  an  interest  in  this  philan- 
thropic measure,  was  then  Acting  Chairman.  A  few  days  later  the 
committee  reported  favorably  on  the  Treaty  of  Brussells  and  il 
by  the  Senate.  We  desire  to  record  our  gratitud 
result.     The  heart  even  of  the  King  is  in   Ilis  hand.

and  "  He  turneth  it  withersoever  He  will,  even  as  the  rivers  of 
water  are  turned."  An  act  of  justice  has  been  done  ;  a  national 
crime  and  disgrace  averted,  and  one  obstacle  to  the  progress  of 
Christianity  at  least  partially  taken  away.  We  congratulate  the 
General  Assembly  on  the  measure  of  influence  which  we  believe 
the  Presbyterian  Church  was  permitted  to  wield  toward  the  ac- 
complishment of  this  result. 

Law  and  Order  Leagues. 

Reference  is  made  in  several  Presbyterial  reports  to  this  agency 
for  the  suppression  of  the  saloon,  and  the  enforcement  of  the  re- 
strictive provisions  of  license  laws,  which  are  so  generally  dis- 
regarded. 

Law  and  Order  organizations  now  number  in  the  United  States 
and  Canada  more  than  twelve  hundred,  and  have  exerted  a  potent 
influence  for  good,  stimulating  the  executive  officers  in  their  re- 
spective communities  to  enforce  the  laws,  or  when  the  officers  are 
persistently  derelict,  themselves  instituting  proceedings  in  the 
criminal  courts  against  law  breakers.  This  service  to  the  cause 
of  righteousness  is  the  more  entitled  to  the  hearty  support  of  all 
good  people,  because  it  is  sure  to  antagonize  the  lawless  elements 
in  the  community,  and  ordinarily  brings  down  upon  itself  harsh 
criticism  and  often  persecution. 

The  Temperance  Coffee  House. 

As  in  London  and  other  cities  of  Great  Britain,  so  in  several  of 
the  large  cities  of  America,  these  institutions  are  found  greatly 
promotive  of  temperance  reform.  All  men,  poor  as  well  as  rich, 
have  certain  social  impulses,  and  the  saloon  cunningly  catering  to 
their  longings,  offers  itself  as  the  "poor  man's  club  house." 
Even  the  man  who  has  as  yet  contracted  no  appetite  for  its  bane- 
ful beverages,  is  likely  to  be  strongly  drawn  by  its  social  attrac- 
tions. The  coffee  house  project  has  been  planned  to  offset  the 
saloon  in  this  respect.  It  was  hoped  and  the  experiment  has 
amply  justified  the  expectation — that  the  coffee  house,  or  on  a 
larger  scale  the  "  People's  Palace,"  might  prove  a  successful  rival 
of  the  saloon,  furnishing  means,  by  which  the  social  impulses  and 
longings  could  begratified  without  the  accompaniments  of  viceand 
impurity  connected  with  the  saloon.  This  is  a  line  of  effort  on 
which  all  may  agree,  however  diverse  their  views  in  other  regards.

Church   Temperance   Murk. 

The  temperance  reform  is  a  Christian  enterprise.  Without  the 
Christian  Church  it  had  never  been.  Hut  the  organizations  by 
which  the  work  is  being  ordinarily  prosecuted  are  not  churches  but 
voluntary  societies.  Unquestionably  these  associations  have  ren- 
dered incalculable  service  to  the  cause,  and  their  mission  in  the 
future  may  be  of  still  increasing  importance  as  a  bond  of  federa- 
tion. The  conviction,  however,  is  growing  that  back  of  and  prior 
to  all  this,  the  churches  should  take  up  temperance  work,  as  being 
their  mission,  as  legitimately  as  Home  and  Foreign  Missions. 
Letters  from  the  Convener  of  the  General  Assembly's  Temperance 
Committee  of  the  Presbyterian  Church  of  Canada,  and  from  the 
Secretary  for  Temperance  of  the  Methodist  Church  in  Canada, 
bring  information  of  the  movement  in  that  country  and  in  Great 
Britain.  At  a  conference  on  this  subject  recently  held  in  New 
York,  under  the  auspices  of  the  National  Temperance  Society,  the 
interesting  addresses  of  ministers  and  other  temperance  workers 
from  various  denominations,  showed  the  increased  attention  which 
this  subject  is  receiving.  Rev.  Dr.  T.  L.  Cuyler,  who  presided  at 
that  meeting,  said:  "  While  we  have  the  heartiest  and  most  cordial 
sympathy  with  every  department  of  total  abstinence  effort  and  for 
the  suppression  of  the  curse  of  the  saloon,  we  come  together  to-day 
for  one  definite  purpose,  and  that  is,  to  discuss  the  duties  oi 
Christ's  Church  in  relation  to  the  temperance  cause,  the  feasibility 
of  planting  a  total  abstinence  organization  in  every  Christian 
Church,  and  the  best  means  of  getting  this  appeal  before  the 
churches,  and  furthering  what  seems  to  me  to  be  of  most  vital 
importance  in  the  temperance  campaign." 

FromSan  Francisco  our  brethren  write  us  very  recently  of  a  move- 
ment extending  into  all  evangelical  Churches  in  thai  region,  the 
object  of  which  is  to  secure  some  simple  form  of  temperance  or- 
ganization in  each  church,  on  the  basis  of  the  total  abstinence 
pledge.  To  all  this  it  may  be  said,  as  it  has  been  said  by  some 
brethren,  that  the  church  itself  should  be  a  temperance  society. 
And  this  is  certainly  the  ideal  church,  but  so  ought  the  church  to 
be  a  missionary  society,  and  yet  it  is  found  helpful  in  the  present 
state  of  affairs  to  have  a  missionary  society  within  the  church. 

A  very  pronounced  diversity  of  opinion  exists  among  temper- 
ance workers  as  to  the  relative  importance  of  \  arious  lines  of  work. 
Tins  is  no  matter  of  surprise  nor  perhaps  of  regret.  It  is  greatly 
to  be  deplored,  however,  w  hen  these  differences  become  occasions

of  bitter  dissension.  There  is  separation,  one  from  the  other 
followed  by  mutual  suspicion,  instead  of  confidence  and  co-opera- 
tion. If  before  we  thus  separate  we  could  be  engaged  side  by  side 
in  our  respective  churches,  in  methods  of  temperance  work  on 
which  we  all  agree,  we  should  learn  to  know  and  trust  and  love 
each  other.  Is  not  this  the  Divine  plan  for  obviating  strife? 
"Whcreunto  we  have  already  attained,  let  us  walk  by  the  same 
rule,  let  us  mind  the  same  thing,  and  if  in  anything  ye  be  other- 
wise minded,  God  shall  reveal  even  this  unto  you." 

In  1890  there  were  in  the  United  States  13,480,000  members  in 
Protestant  Churches.  The  number  of  regular  attendants  in  church 
services,  not  communicants,  but  whose  lives  are  confessedly  sub- 
ject to  religious  influences,  would  add  to  this  figure  over  50  per 
cent.,  making  in  round  numbers  20,000,000  who  avowedly  yield  to 
the  teachings  of  the  Church,  as  to  duty  in  society.  What  possi- 
bilities are  here  suggested  ! 

It  is  our  confident  hope  that  within  our  own  Church  new  im- 
pulse will  be  given  to  church  temperance  work  by  the  recently 
organized  Presbyterian  Woman's  Temperance  Association,  whose 
annual  report  to  the  General  Assembly's  Permanent  Committee 
is  appended  hereto.  We  anticipate  great  results  through  the 
Divine  blessing  on  this  new  agency,  and  we  most  cordially  com- 
mend it  to  the  favorable  consideration  and  co-operation  of  the 
Synods  and  Presbyteries.  "  Help  those  women  which  labor  with 
us  in  the  Gospel." 

ELECTION  OF  MEMBERS  OF  THE  PERMANENT  COMMITTEE. 

The  term  of  office  of  the  following  members  of  the  Committee 
expires  at  this  term:  Ministers,  I.  N.  Hays,  D.  D.,  R.  D.Wilson 
Ph.  D.;  Elders,  R.  C.  Totten,  Geo.  Irwin.  It  will  devolve  upon 
the  General  Assembly  to  fill  the  vacancies. 

Thos.  II.  Rabe,  Esq.,  who  has  filled  the  office  of  Recording 
Secretary  for  five  years  with  great  acceptance,  has  recently  of- 
fered his  resignation,  change  of  residence  rendering  it  impossible 
for  him  longer  to  discharge  the  duties  of  that  office.  The  Com- 
mittee has  accepted  his  resignation  and  elected  Rev.  Jos.  H. 
Turner,  of  Glenshaw,  Pa.,  to  till  his  office. 

All  of  which  is  respectfully  submitted. 

By  order  of  the  Permanent  Committee, 
J.  F.  Hill,  I.  X.  Hays, 

Corresponding  Secretary.  Chairman.

APPENDIX. 


REPORT  OF  THE  CORRESPONDING  SECRETARY  OF  THE  GENERAL  EXEC- 
UTIVE COMMITTEE  OF  THE  PRESBYTERIAN  WOMAN'S  TEMPERANCE 
ASSOCIATION,  FOR  THE  YEAR  ENDING  APRIL,    1892. 


To  the  General  Assembly  s  Permanent  Committee  on  Temperance  : 

The  General  Executive  Committee  has  held  regular  business 
meetings  at  1334  Chestnut  street,  Philadelphia,  on  the  last  Wednes- 
day in  each  month,  at  which  time,  also,  public  meetings  have 
been  held,  and  telling  addresses  made  by  the  following  ministers: 
Rev.  Drs.  H.  C.  McCook,  J.  A.  Worden,  F.  J.  Collier,  J.  Peacock, 
S.  W.  Dana,  A.  Alison,  L.  Y.  Graham,  of  Philadelphia,  and  Rev. 
S.  E.  Young,  of  Asbury  Park,  N.  J.,  and  Dr.  Thomas  McCauley, 
of  Chester,  Pa.  The  interest  in  these  public  meetings  increases, 
and  We  feel  that  good  results  will  flow  from  them  ;  the  Philadel- 
phia pastors  have  kindly  read  our  notices,  and  we  desire  to  thank 
all  who  have  helped  us. 

Two  hundred  Presbyteries  have  been  petitioned,  and  132 
sessional  petitions  have  been  sent  out. 

We  have  received  letters  from  the  stated  clerks  of  the  follow- 
ing Presbyteries,  in  response  to  our  petitions,  and  committees 
have  been  appointed,  and  all  are  ready  and  eager  to  co-operate 
with  us  :  Iowa  City,  Newark,  Rcllefontaine,  Holston,  Hudson, 
Aberdeen,  Petoskey,  Black  Hills. 

The  following  have  signified  their  willingness  to  present  our 
cause:  Lima,  Willamette,  Utah,  Nebraska  City,  Athens,  Schuyler. 

In  the  Synod  of  Pennsylvania  the  following  Presbyteries  have 
reported  organization:  Redstone,  Washington,  Lackawanna, 
Chester,  Wellsboro,  Northumberland  and  Philadelphia. 

Several  churches  in  Philadelphia  Presbytery  have  organized 
and  are  doing  active  work:  Walnut  Street  Church,  Covenant 
Church,  Olivet  Church,  Alexander  Church  and  the  Holmesburg 
Church  in  the  Presbytery  of  Philadelphia     North. 


'9 

The  Philadelphia  Presbytery  confirmed  the  appointment  of 
Mrs.  A.  C.  Law,  as  Presbyterial  President,  and  she  has  had  com- 
munication with  the  pastors  of  thirty  churches  in  Philadelphia 
Presbytery;  all  have  shown  much  interest,  and  have  said,  "we  will 
do  the  best  we  can."  Mrs.  C.  R.  Henry,  Presbyterial  President 
of  Philadelphia  North,  has  distributed  3$$  copies  of  the  Deliver- 
ances of  the  General  Assembly  on  the  subject  of  Temperance,  and 
has  written  t<»  every  minister  in  the  Presbytery,  hut  the  time  has 
been  too  short  for  responses. 

We  have  distributed  about  two-thirds  of  all  the  literature  fur- 
nished us  by  the  Permanent  Committee,  besides  16,920  pages  our 
own;  6.200  pages  of  which  have  been  bought  and  distributed  by 
one  member  of  our  Executive  Committee;  js  Temperance  Cate- 
chisms have  been  placed  in  three  Sabbath  schools;  25  Pledge 
C  irds  in  one  Sabbath  school  and  30  pledges  signed  in  one  church. 

The  Corresponding  Secretary  has  received  60  letters  from  in- 
dividuals throughout  the  United  States,  asking  for  instruction  and 
information,  to  each  of  whom,  literature,  Cards  of  Instruction  and 
Constitutions  have  been  sent.  Forty-five  other  letters  ami  fifteen 
postal  cards  have  been  written  in  the  interest  of  the  work. 

While  we  feel  that  our  report  is  meagre,  compared  with  the 
needs  of  the  work,  yet,  in  view  of  the  fact  that  the  time  has  been 
short,  and  much  preliminary  work  has  been  necessary,  we  have 
done  what  we  could,  and  arc  sure  that  our  efforts  have  not  been  in 
vain,  but  that  good  results  will  be  seen  in  the  speedy  advancement 
of  the  Temperance  work  in  our  beloved  Presbyterian  Church. 

We  realize  the  magnitude  of  the  work  as  we  do  the  magnitude 
of  tile  evil,  we  are  trying  to  crush  out  the  terrible  curse  of  intem- 
perance, which  brings  so  much  sorrow  into  the  homes  of  our 
lain!,  and  produces  poverty  and  crime. 

We  need  your  earnest  co-operation  and  prayers,  and  as  we 
pray:  "Thy  Kingdom  come."  may  we  also  labor  for  the  overthrow 
<«f  Satan's  kingdom,  and  the  extinction  of  the  liquor  traffic  with 
all  its  attending  evils. 

The  work  is  ours,  results  belong  to  God. 

Respectfully  submitted, 
S.  S.  STERRET,  Corresponding  Secretary, 

General  Executive  ( Committee  of  P.  II  .  /'.  -  J-

SUMMARY  OF  THE  ACTION  OF  THE  GENERAL  ASSEMBLY, 

At  Portland,  Oregon,  May  30,   1892. 

The  General  Assembly  notices  with  gratification  that  a  majority  of  the 
churches,  in  consideration  of  the  infirmity  of  the  weak,  use  the  unfermented 
fruit  of  the  vine  at  the  Lord's  Supper. 

It  also  declares  that,  "  While  it  is  not  the  province  of  the  Church  to  dictate 
to  any  man  how  he  shall  vote,  *  *  *  no  political  part)- has  the  right  to  expect 
the  support  of  Christian  men  so  long  as  that  party  stands  committed  to  the 
license  policy  or  refuses  to  put  itself  on  record  against  the  saloon." 

RESOLUTIONS. 

First — That  the  Assembly  approve  the  fidelity  and  diligence  of  the  Assembly's 
Permanent  Committee. 

Second — That  the  Assembly  recommend  to  all  Presbyteries  the  appointment 
of  a  permanent  committee  on  temperance. 

Third — *  *  *  That  the  whole  power  of  the  Presbyterian  Church,  in  harmony 
with  the  efforts  of  other  evangelical  communions,  shall  be  directed  to  resist  the 
passage  of  any  law  legalizing  the  liquor  traffic  in  Alaska,  and  that  the  Perma- 
nent Committee  on  Temperance  to  use  all  lawful  and  laudable  methods  and 
means  in  resisting  the  passage  of  such  bill  in  Congress,  and  to  this  end  that  the 
action  of  this  Assembly  be  communicated  by  telegraph  to  the  committees  in 
the  national  Congress  having  this  matter  in  charge. 

Fourth — That  the  Assembly  stands  firmly  by  the  deliverances  heretofore 
given  by  our  Church  on  the  evils  of  intemperance,  and  enjoins  our  ministers 
and  people  to  do  all  that  is  possible  in  their  individual  and  collective  capacity 
in  the  extermination  of  the  evil,  and  that  we  reiterate  the  deliverance  of  the 
Assembly  of  1883,  *  *  *  and  further,  that  we  give  all  honor  to  all  officials 
of  the  law  who  have  had  the  fidelity  to  execute  the  laws  of  the  land  in  accord- 
ance with  their  sacred  oaths  of  office. 

Fifth — That  this  Assembly  regards  the  saloon,  licensed  or  unlicensed,  as  a 
curse  to  the  land,  inimical  to  our  free  institutions,  and  a  constant  jeopard}' to  the 
present  and  lasting  peace  and  happiness  of  all  members  of  the  home,  and,  furth- 
ermore, loyalty  to  Christ  and  His  Church  should  constrain  every  Christian  citi- 
zen to  be  earnestly  zealous  in  securing  the  removal  of  the  traffic,  very  largely 
responsible  for  the  mass  of  crime,  pauperism,  and  the  social  evil  that  flood  the 
land  with  misery,  and  that  we  emphasize  the  great  value  to  the  cause  of  temper- 
ance in  this  country,  which  comes  from  the  Supreme  Court  of  the  United  States 
in  its  recent  decision  :  "That  there  is  no  inherent  right  in  a  citizen  to  sell  in- 
toxicating liquor  by  retail ;  it  is  not  a  privilege  of  the  State  or  of  a  citizen  of 
the  United  States." 

Sixth — That  we  urge  Congress  to  pass  laws  abolishing  the  sale  of  all  intoxica- 
ting liquors  for  beverage  purposes  in  all  the  territories  of  the  United  States 
and  the  District  of  Columbia,  and  in  all  buildings  and  institutions  under 
control  of  the  United  States  government. 

Seventh — That  we  indorse  the  work  of  the  Presbyterian  Women's  Temperance 
Association  and  all  kindred  organizations,  and,  bidding  them  God-speed,  that 
We  urge  the  women  of  our  Presbyterian  churches  to  organize  temperance  work 
along  the  same  church  lines  as  those  adopted  by  the  women  of  the  Presbyterian 
churches  of  Pennsylvania,  and  this,  not  in  antagonism,  but  in  perfect  harmony 
with  the  evangelistic  work  of  other  temperance  organizations.  Also  that  this 
work  be  extended  to  the  children  and  youth. 

Eighth — That  from  the  pulpits  of  our  beloved  Church,  emphasis  should  be 
given  to  the  deliverances  of  the  General  Assembly  for  the  past  80  years,  and  in 
order  that  the  church  communicants  and  others  who  might  be  led  to  be  inter- 
ested in  temperance  work,  may  thoroughly  understand  the  position  of  the 
Church,  now  and  in  years  past,  the-  Permanent  Committee  be  requested  to  have 
theirtract,  "A  Summary  of  the  Deliverances  of  the  Assembly  on  Temperance," 
sent  to  all  pastors  throughout  the  Church  with  a  request  that  the  tract  be  dis- 
tributed among  the  people.
