. Report for 1933A M O Y

Evangelistic W o r k ,Church Work— A m o y City is full of opportunities for service. T h e

five city churches welcome our cooperation in their regular church activi­ties, inviting us as missionaries to give talks on special occasions, to assist in their literacy campaigns, and to do family visitation w o r k with them. ■ ■

T w o of these churches conducted short time “schools” for w o m e n and girls. T h e one at the Tek-chhiu-kha church was particularly successful. About sixty w o m e n and girls attended the classes for the fortnight of the school’s existence and studied in assorted groups.. There were those w h o were just learning to read the Romanized colloquial. There were several groups of Bible study classes. Twice a day the w o m e n listened to ad­dresses given by outside speakers. T h e topics of these addresses were usu­ally of a very practical nature: “H o w to train children,” “Proper food for the family,” “Hygiene in the home.” T h e w o m e n and girls enjoyed particularly the practice they received in singing n e w h y m n s and religious choruses. Closing exercises were held on the last afternoon of the “school.” T h e entire central portion of the church was filled with the “pupils” and their friends. Each group of the school had a special part in the program, a song or a recitation of Scripture, and the audience listened attentively, also, to a number of short addresses. T h e exercises concluded with the whole audience taking part in the “candle service.”

A t the Che-chiu church, which is a little distance from the city, w e assisted in organizing a Bible study class for young women. There had. never before been such a class at this church but they welcomed our help enthusiastically and have become a wide-awake study group. W e chose the book of M a r k for our subject and used Miss M . E. Talmage’s ex-

cellent study book to guide our discussion. Several of the young w o m e n had been students for a short time in our A m o y Girls’ Primary School and they are n o w taking turns in leadership.

After the summer, Mrs. Boot, assisted by a couple of Chinese friends, started a weekly Children’s Meeting at a newly opened chapel. T h e chil­dren come fromi the neighborhood and most of them are quite ignorant of Christian teaching. Th e y are, however, coming eagerly to the meetings to-hear the stories and learn the hymns. Some, at least, of the precious “Seed” finds Goo d Soil in their little hearts.

A t the Phai-baw church w e are assisting them to organize a S u n ­day School with classes for every one w h o attends church. T h e older people seem to be enjoying their n e w opportunities for Bible discussion, but the children are especially enthusiastic in their support of the n e w .Sunday School. They attend regularly and bring their little friends.

Book Room— T h e A m o y Christian B o o k R o o m has had a difficult time. During “hard times” people have the idea that they can get along with fewer books and so our sales have fallen off. T h e Boo k R o o m has been occupying a roo m belonging to one of the churches, but this has not been satisfactory. T h e location is not central. O n e of our trustees is n o w building for us a shop in the heart of the business section of town and w e are confidently hoping for wider opportunities to put before A m o y City the really fine selection of Christian books as well as Bibles that w e have in stock. K atharine R. G reen.

Educational WorkAmoy Girls’ Middle School— For the A m o y Girls’ Middle School the

year 1933 m a y be characterized as a year of phenomenal growth in m a n y respects, particularly along material lines. Whether there has been a cor­responding growth along spiritual lines is difficult to measure, but w e are grateful to be able to say that in this respect there is also m u c h to en­courage us.

' That which stands out most prominently, perhaps, is the year's build­ing program. During the spring w e added a three-story wing to the class­roo m building to correspond with the wing put up in 1932. Funds for this were solicited largely in Manila by one of our Chinese Board members. During the summer, plans were mad e to complete the structure by re­modeling the old central building. In September, building operations were actually begun, and at the time of writing are nearing completion. Funds for this have been raised almost entirely on the field, nearly one-half being raised by the pupils themselves by an intensive canvass of A m o y and Kulangsu business districts. T h e completed building will give us an enlarged chapel, adequate laboratories, class-rooms, offices, domestic science facilities, and an indoor gymnasium. W e feel that w e can n o w care satisfactorily for our increased enrollment, and w e have left some room' to gro w I

Another aspect of growth is that of increased numbers. Last year w e were almost overwhelmed with our enrollment of 200 students, and this forced us at once into building the first n e w wing. This year the spring term brought us a total of 228 students, and the fall term added another 40, so that w e n o w have 268 girls under our charge.

Still another phase of that growth has been in self-support, the Chinese School Board taking over gradually more of the financial re­sponsibility with the definite object of being financially inde'pendent by July, 1934. It will mea n an annual soliciting of funds from Chinese

sources, which will be far from easy, but the spirit which is being shown indicates that the outlook for progress along this line is hopeful.

T h e spirit of both pupils and teachers, not only in loyalty to the school but in loyalty to and appreciation for the Christian principles for which the school stands, has never been better. M a n y instances might be cited, but space allows the mention of only one. £ach year at Christmas time the entire student body is divided into teams, which go out to various chapels on A m o y Island to bring the Christmas message and give gifts to the poor. This year w e decided to go to the A m o y Prison, the Girls’ Refuge, the Old Peoples’ H o m e , as well as to two of our chapels. In addition w e held meetings and gave gifts to 400 Sunday School children w h o m w e teach every Sunday in four centers. T h e girls themselves did without Christmas cards and Christmas gifts and raised $350. to provide gifts of cloth, stockings, towels, etc. for the poor. The plea m a d e by the “mayor” of our School-city to go out to proclaim the Goo d N e w s and to express by our gifts the spirit of Christ was posi­tively eloquent! T h e team leaders worked and prayed in a spirit of con­secration which it was an inspiration to witness. All returned from the activities of Christmas day declaring it was the happiest Christmas day they had ever spent. T ena H olkeboer

Amoy Girls’ Primary School— Iht. A m o y Girls’ Primary School had an enrollment of 338 in the spring term and 331 in the fall, in all 420 names on the roll. There were 23 teachers on the staff, 15 of them full time.

T h e first term saw a number of n e w projects in the school under Miss Lee s leadership,— school gardens, school menagerie, inter-class con­tests in mandarin speaking and athletics. T h e students’ organization was very active, too, in all its branches. T h e graduating class took the union examinations in June and all but one of the 49 students passed. Thirty- eight of them continued their studies in our Middle School. Seven of the teachers attended the Spring Students’ Conference. A t the end of the school year Miss Lee felt it necessary to resign, and it was with the greatest reluctance that w e let her go. T h e enthusiastic welcome she re­ceives from the teachers and pupils whenever she comes back to visit the school shows what a real place she had gained in their affections.

During the summer, Miss Chhoa, a graduate of our Middle School, w h o took her college w o r k in the A m o y University and post-graduate w o r k in Education at Yenching College, was engaged to be in charge of the Primary School.

Chapel exercises, held every morning in three groups, have been at­tended hy all the pupils. T h e program of religious education, daily classes from 1 :30 to 2 :00 and on Sundays church service and Sunday School, was participated in in part by all of the pupils and in whole by 8 3 % of them. Special report cards are given for that part of the work. All of the teachers helped in teaching these extra classes.

A Junior C. E. Society was started for the fifty dormitory girls. T h e society soon grew to seventy-five, as some of the day pupils asked to be allowed to join, too. T h e practice in leading meetings, speaking and praying was a great help to the children, and the testimony of some of them at the consecration meetings, as to what the society had meant to them, was very encouraging. A t Christmas time the Music Committee went to the Hospital to sing carols, and the Sunshine Committee dis­tributed to the patients the gifts they had mad e of bought. Mrs. A n g

has been a great help in planning for and carrying out the religious side of the school work. Edna K. B e e k m a n

Charlotte Duryee Bible School for Women— T h e school had a larger enrollment than ever before, over 70 in the spring term and over CO in the autumn term, making a total of more than 110 names for the year.

A number of young unmarried girls have been pupils. M a n y have come from homes where G o d is unknown, and it has been a joy to see them de­velop from heathenism, learn of the Lord Jesus and pray to Him. A t the close of each term the school seems like a different place, with pupils able to read and sing the h ymns and knowing m a n y of the Psalms and Bible texts. ■

At the close of this term w e asked the w o m e n : First, H o w m a n y were members of the church? Second, H o w m a n y wished to belong to the church? and Third, H o w m a n y had decided to follow the Lord? S o m e of the w o m e n had already left the school, but of those still in school, twelve were members of the'church, sixteen wished to be baptized, and all the rest said they had decided to be Christians. Even the young girls were included, making one hundred per cent of the pupils enrolled on the Lord's side. W e felt that the Lord had answered our prayers. '

O u r pupils are of all ages and from all sorts of places and walks of life. T h e oldest is sixty-four, the youngest eleven; some are well off and some are very poor. S o m e come because they wish to study the Bible; others, because of sad lives, hope for comfort, hearing that the Gospel will give peace.

T h e teachers have taken great interest in their work and feel the im­portance of reaching every pupil, old or young. Every M o n d a y the teachers meet together for prayer, and every Thursday afternoon a prayer-meeting is held at the school, which all attend. This is conducted by a missionary, a Chinese teacher or one of the w o m e n in the highest class. W h e n the meeting is thrown open for prayer there are no pauses; one prayer follows another as one w o m a n after another pours out her heart to God. T h e school has very inadequate accommodations, but there is a tiny ro o m on the verandah where the w o m e n can go for private prayer and it is often used. T h e following is the testimony of one pupil in a meeting where the w o m e n were asked to speak of their o w n experience. She said in substance— “Formerly I was a zealous idolater. M y husband died, m y son was still a child, I supported myself and family by spinning thread. At that time I had not yet heard the doctrine and a bad temper and a love for gambling led m e into great misery. Because of m y having lost m u c h m oney by gambling m y children and I have gone the whole day without eating. I had a little daughter-in-law, but because of m y violent temper and often beating her a bad neighbor induced her to run a w a y secretly and I never found her. After meeting with these troubles f lost heart and more than once thought of destroying myself. Happily G o d in His love spared m y life till today. Four years ago I quarreled with a neighbor. T h e policeman by mistake arrested m e and I was put in prison but later released. After hav­ing received such treatment I almost went out of m y mind. Happily a Chris­tian neighbor came often to see m e and comforted m e and led m e to church to hear the doctrine. M y heart was indeed greatly comforted and I re­solved to become a Christian. T h e members of the Tai-san church saw that I desired to k n o w more of the doctrine and last year arranged that I should study in the W o m a n ’s School. T h e missionaries and Chinese teachers have helped m e to understand the doctrine, to read the Bible and increasingly to k n o w the love of God. M y former bad temper has greatly

changed and I no longer gamble. I arri very happy and a m exceedingly grateful to G o d and to the teachers for their instruction.”

The Children’s Home— T h e year has seen some changes. Mrs. K h a w , the matron, resigned her position in August. For a stop-gap vve were able to obtain the services of Mrs. Lim, a young preacher's wife and a former teacher in our Girls’ Primary School. T h e chapel where her husband was preacher had no suitable accommodation for her and her b a b y ; so she came to the H o m e and her stay there has been very helpful to the children. T h e baby has been a great asset. Mrs. L i m ’s husband has n o w been trans­ferred to a different place and Mrs. L i m hopes to join him there soon after China N e w Year. Miss Jin Po-chhai is to take charge of the H o m e . Miss Jin was a m e m b e r of the H o m e whe n a child and knows the needs of the children.

T w o n e w children have been received. O n e is the child of an earnest Christian in Lungyen. H e lost so m u c h during the Communist regime that he felt he could no longer support all of his large family ; so he brought two little girls to A m o y to find homes for them, and the younger one, six years old, has come to the H o m e . H e r father has not actually given her to us, but w e are caring for her for the present and the probabilities are that she will remain with us. She is an attractive child but naughty. H e r n a m e is M u c h Loved. Rose, the other child, is quite different. She is about ten, a quiet well-behaved child. H e r mother, w h o was a Christian, died leaving her and a little three-year-old brother to the care of an old grand­mother, very poor. T h e church persuaded her to give the little girl to our H o m e . T h e other children remain as before. “Received Favor” has entered the Girls’ Middle School. Grace, w h o has given us a great deal of trouble in times past, has m u c h improved in conduct. But our hearts are sad over one of the happenings of the year. Quite u n k n o w n to us Pity, one of the older girls, m a d e the acquaintance of a young m a n not a Christian and the acquaintance developed into a desire for marriage. W h e n the matter came to a head w e investigated and found the m a n unsuitable in every way. At present w e see no w a y out but to let the girl have her way, the H o m e taking no responsibility about the matter. L ily N D uryee

Medical Work ■'Training School for Nurses— T h e year 1933 has in m a n y ways been a

“red-letter” year for us. For the first time in the history of the Training School w e could look forward to having two foreign nurses giving full time to the work. W i t h Miss V e l d m a n ’s first two years of prescribed lan­guage w o r k completed, and m y health restored and furlough postponed, w e started the n e w year full of hope and courage, and w e have not been dis­appointed. •

O u r Senior nurses all passed their N. A. C. examinations. In February w e took in a n e w class— the tenth and largest in our experience— eleven of them, of w h o m nine were accepted and given uniforms after the required three months probation period.

In April w e m oved into the lovely n e w Nurses’ H o m e . This was in­deed a happy time. It seemed almost too good to be true. However, w e — the w o m a n doctor, the staff and pupil nurses and one of the foreign nurses— have been enjoying its comfort and quiet and k n o w it is not a dream but a reality.

T h e s u m m e r months were especially busy. It was Miss V e l d m a n ’s turn

for a holiday and Miss Platz came in to help us. H e r cheerful personality and ready willingness to do anything most needed brought cheer and bless­ing to us all. S o m e of our o w n graduates also came in to help out at dif­ferent times.

In the fall one of our staff nurses left us for post-graduate wor k in Peiping. This is a first experiment and w e are eagerly looking forward to her return, hoping and trusting that her experience in a big, up-to-date institution will m a k e her a better worker here. That remains to be proven, but her letters breathe the same spirit of loyalty to her Lord and eager­ness to serve to His glory that mad e her such an inspiration and blessing to us before she left us.

Since w e find it difficult to keep up with the growing demands of our nursing work, w e took in another class in October, trusting that these, too, will be ready to take their share in the w o r k w h e n the busy season comes along once more.

Meantime w e are putting on a heavy teaching schedule, in which all our staff doctors take part. W e were very happy to secure Mrs. Shen, a Ginling College graduate and an outstanding Christian leader a m o n g the young people of the church, to conduct a weekly Bible Class for staff and pupil nurses.

T w o of our pupil nurses m a d e confession of their faith in Christ and are striving to witness for H i m in their daily work. O n e of them comes from a non-Christian h o m e and it is gratifying to see her joy in her life of faith in Christ her Savior. Jeax N ienhuis

C H A N G - C H O WEvangelistic Work

O n the whole, it was a peaceful year and so it was possible to m a k e a great number of trips to the out-stations. O n each trip a special meeting is held for the w o m e n and children, and the rest of the time is spent call­ing in the homes. T h e neighbors are invited in and every opportunity is seized for giving the Message. M a n y homes and villages were visited during the year and w e received a cordial welcome in all but one.

T h e Bible W o m e n have had a busy year. Special attention was given to four or five of the out-stations, a month or more being spent doing intensive work in each place, calling and preaching during the day and teaching reading at night. W o r k at Golden Mountain was started and sel­d o m have w e had such an open door of opportunity.

T h e Children’s Meeting continued as formerly at the Mission Center. T h e day before the Air Raid w e had a children’s party on our lawn. T h e children played games and enjoyed the Christmas P rogram given by the Girls’ School for their special benefit. A n orange, candy and a Big Bread Roll was given to each one. C a n ’t you just see the tiny tots marching h o m e in double file through busy thoroughfares clinging to their precious Christmas gifts? T h e m o n e y for this party was given by one of our Chinese Christian doctors, w h o lives near the Mission and is very m u c h interested in the wo r k carried on there. He. himself, holds free clinics at the M i s ­sion and every year gives inoculations and vaccinations.

N e w work was opened at the North Gate of the city. Once a we e k w e hold a Children’s Meeting there in the open courtyard of one of our church families. Over ninety children attend regularly and from ten to fifteen women.

A n encouraging feature of these Children's Meetings is that five young women, our o w n school graduates, give their time and services to help con­duct them. T w o of the girls are studying organ so that they can help in that way, and each one takes her turn in conducting the meeting, telling the n e w story and reviewing the old stories. W e are grateful for this in­terest and help.Educational Work

Chang-chow Girls’ School— T h e School, even though registered, car­ries on its Religious Educational program very m u c h as before registra­tion. T h e Bible Classes continue as formerly; only they are n o w extra­curricular. T h e Principal and her staff are earnest Christians. T h e y teach Bible Classes, helpi in the Sunday School and lead the morning chapel exercises. T h e students attend church in a body twice on Sunday.

Over ISO pupils enrolled each term in 1933. A number of the girls are from the homes of high officials. W h e n the Secretary of Education from F o o c h o w visited Chang-chow last spring, he spent over an hour at the school. W h e n his report came this fall, w e noted with great satisfaction that the Chang-chow Girls’ School ranked first in his list of the five schools worthy of Special Mention in South Fukien.

During the spring term the school took part in the large City Field D a y Program. General W o n g of the 19th Route A r m y was there with his motion picture camera. Imagine our surprise at the Fourth of July Party given by our American Consul on the U. S. S. Fulton, to see the Chang- c h o w Field D a y flashed on the screen along with the regular N e w s Reel. W e enjoyed the movies! '

W h e n the Conference on Religious Education met at Talmage College last March, the National Secretaries were m u c h interested in the handwork done by the Sunday School. W e took them all through the school and they spoke highly of the work. Th e y were pleased to see the room devoted to Religious Education. It is fitted up as a library with desks and chairs and a large number of books from the Christian Literature Society. T h e walls are decorated with art pieces (Sunday School handwork) illustrating Christ’s teachings.

T h e girls did good wor k in the sewing classes: fancy drawn work pillows of pale blue silk embroidered in delicate shades of pink; gorgeous flowers worked on black velvet; sweaters with pockets; babies’ caps, dresses, shoes. W e hope to be able to sell some of these things and earn money for our school. In the reception room w e have a large cabinet filled with the girls’ handwork and the walls are covered with their watercolor pic­tures. .

Women’s School— T h e Chang-chow W o m e n ’s School opened in Febru­ary (1933) after-the N e w Year'vacation. Seventeen w o m e n enrolled and wor k was started in earnest. Bui Sian-si continued as H e a d Teacher and carried on without an assistant or matron in order to save expense. T h e cooking was done by one of the poorer girls. It was a big problem to fix up the school after losing everything at the time of the R e d Raid, but the special gift from h o m e to help cover this enabled us to buy the bare neces­sities and start school again. Not a chair, desk or bed was bought until a pupil arrived for said chair, desk and b e d ! Thu s the school was able to close the year without a deficit.

T h e fall term always has fewer pupils than the spring term, for at that time of the year the village w o m e n must help with the rice harvest and the city w o m e n have a chance to earn money knitting woolen sweaters

in preparation for the winter’s need. Even so, there were thirteen pupils enrolled. Besides this number, the pastor’s wife came twice a w e e k for organ lessons. O n e of our Girls’ School graduates came every day in time for chapel and spent most of her time at the school out of pure interest in the work, giving her time and services to help as opportunity offered. She, too, was enrolled as an organ pupil. Altogether, three workers were given this special training in return for special help rendered. Giving organ lessons in connection with the W o m e n ’s School was a n e w adven­ture, and w e feel it worth while to teach organ to any w h o will use this accomplishment to help in church work.

A n e w text book, “Christianizing the H o m e , ” was taught this year to the highest class. T h e Seniors helped in conducting the Children’s Mee t ­ings and the Children’s Church on Sunday morning and took turns in giving chapel talks in the school. This training in leadership w e feel is very important.

There were not m a n y pupils during the year, but one is training as Bible W o m a n , another expects to be married to a preacher very shortly, a third is the wife of a young deacon in a near-by chapel. O n e was rescued from the red-light district and is n o w an earnest seeker. Another is a young girl from Singapore.

W e try to help each one w h o comes according to her particular need, and w e feel that the w o r k done in the W o m e n ’s School is a real con­tribution to the Church. E lizabeth G. Bruce

S I O K H EWork for Wo m e n and Girls ;

This has been a year of holding fast rather than a year of progress. T h e spring crops were very poor, and in the fall m a n y could not plant at all for lack of water. Taxes have 'been heavier than usual and m o n e y very scarce. A d d to this a continual fear of the increasing menace of bandits, w h o not only rob boats, buses and villages but carry off m e n and hold them for ransom, and you will have some idea of the feeling of insecurity and actual danger in which our people are living. R u m o r s of Communist raids or the approach of bandits sent people off to hide in the hills. Richer people sent their valuables elsewhere for safety, and the m e n of the family quietly disappeared to find safer abiding-places. N o one wanted to agree to be in a certain place at a certain time. Every one seemed continually listening,- and all were on tip-toe to run at the first bad alarm. Just getting through the day has seemed the limit of their ability. Even the children were needed to carry water to the parched fields,, and m a n y fields were left to dry up entirely. But some Christians are finding a difference between believers and non-believers which has not been outstanding of late years. T h o u g h living under the same political conditions as their neighbors, church members have been remarkably kept from actual injury. -Those w h o have met it tell of a consciousness of G o d ’s presence and care over them and of peace in their hearts that more than compensates for their danger or loss.

T h e first half year began encouragingly. T w o Bible W o m e n traveled together for three weeks through several villages, staying long enough in each one to get to k n o w the people somewhat. It was a great experience for the w o m e n themselves, and w e shall not soon forget the day they reported at the workers’ prayer-meeting. T h e y had been to one or two places where the H a k k a dialect is used and had had some comical experiences in finding a place to stay where they could m a k e themselves understood. Sometimes in their story joy was uppermost over some faithful Christian, sometimes;

tears fell over a pitiful case of illtreatment or backsliding. M a n y were the times they asked for special prayer for this one or that, and through all their story ran the hope and determination to go again soon. .

This weekly' Wo r k e r s ’ Meeting, where w e have tea together and then talk and pray over our w o r k with its hopes and disappointments and n e w plans, is perhaps the centre of the-work for w o m e n and girls. T o this' meeting come the pastors’ wives and the Bible W o m e n , Hospital nurses and W o m e n ’s School teachers, and any preacher’s wife or Bible W o m a n w h o happens to be passing through Siokhe. Here w e plan and report on Children’s Meetings, h o m e visiting, village preaching, reading classes, cases in the w o m e n ’s ward of the Hospital, pupils in the W o m e n ’s School, trouble or joy a m o n g the Church households. Her e w e find counsel and sympathy, companionship and inspiration, and more than all a growing fellowship with our Father and with each other.

During the. first half of the year two Reading Classes met twice each week in the homes of church members. Mrs. Li, the pastor’s wife, started these classes as a special contribution to the Five Year Movement, and she has been regularly helped by two Bible W o m e n , two workers from the W o m e n ’s School and four or five church women. These classes drew mostly children, but a few older w o m e n came. W h e n the classes had met regu­larly for four or five weeks an evangelistic talk was added, to which came some twenty older women. The n out of one of the classes grew a separate group, meeting once a week, where w e discussed w o m a n ’s w o r k and her influence as housekeeper, h o m emaker and responsible citizen. Late in M a y w e were obliged to give up the evening classes because it was not .con­sidered safe for us to be out after dark.. In the fall the same danger de­layed starting the classes again, but by N o v e m b e r there was one class in town and a n e w one in Au-hang, the village near the Hospital.

T h e two Children’s Meetings and the Sunday morning Children’s Service have been continued, with somewhat smaller attendance on account of politi­cal conditions. Part of the follow-up w o r k had to be dropped w h e n w e lost the second teacher from the W o m e n ’s School.

T h e Girls’ School, as a regular primary school, has passed out of existence this year, and w e have n o w a school for w o m e n and girls which plans to provide anything (within our range) to fit the pupils to be Chris­tian wives and mothers. There were 22 pupils in the school the first term. Three were older women, five in their teens, and fourteen in the primary class. In the fall w e had only five in the first year class and three in the regular W o m a n ’s School section. All three were young girls, the kind w e hope to help most. N o older w o m e n felt they could leave h o m e every day or even part of the day. O u r reduced appropriation of $28. Mex. a month paid the director and the matron and left two dollars for all other ex­penses. In July, w h e n the big cut came, w e dismissed both first and second teachers and the matron and started on a n e w basis. T h e head teacher came back at her old salary, but at her o w n suggestion contributes 1 0 % of it to the general fund. T h e second teacher found a position in the Boys’ Primary School (which' n o w receives girls also). She comes over every Sunday to help with the Children’s Service; so w e do not feel that w e have lost her entirely. T h e matron wrote. “A s a Siokhe person I must do m y share toward keeping such a school in Siokhe” ; so she accepted $6. a month instead of $10. T h e school had nothing left to help poor pupils; so w e urged them to come as day pupils and pay no fees whatever. But even so w e drew no older women.

O n e of this year’s bright spots is the weekly Church Prayer-meeting for women. It did not stop w h e n the W o m e n ’s School closed for the sum-

16 Womanfs Board of Foreign Missions

mer, and in spite of intense heat and small numbers those w h o attended evidently found a source of strength and happiness that surprised and delighted them. ■

Another cause for rejoicing is the greater co-operation between what used to be fairly distinct Church and Hospital groups. N o t that there was ill-feeling, but each group had its o w n interests and those interests were separate. N o w the Hospital people help in the school and in the evening classes, and the Church people have helped sew for the Hospital.

This year has also shown a definite willingness on the part of some church members to help in children’s meetings and evening classes. Per­haps the presence of paid workers, most of them not residents of Siokhe, has formerly given the church members an excuse to slip out of their re­sponsibilities. Because of reduced appropriations and upset conditions not only are the paid workers fewer but they are not in Siokhe as m u c h as usual. W o n ’t you join us in praying that in these years of upset and dan­ger our people m a y come to realize what are the precious and enduring things of life and be eager to share them with those w h o do not k n o w ?

T O N G - A NEvangelistic Work

Women’s Missionary Society— Miss H o Siok-cheng, the traveling sec­retary from A m o y , came to Tong-an February 28, 1933, to conduct a meeting. B y her splendid inspirational address she m a d e the w o m e n feel keenly their individual responsibility for the spreading of the gospel in their o w n land. It was in this spirit of great enthusiasm that the W o m a n ’s Missionary Society of Tong-an had its birth. It was organized at that meeting with a roll of 60 members.

In June the society had a special program to emphasize that their duties as members included more than paying their dues. Besides special music and a fine address by one of the members, there was dramatized the story of the founding of the Mather Society in A m o y . This showed how, through the eager desire of one old lady to bring the gospel to her village, the society was started, and every m e m b e r was urged to do as she had done. r

In November, as the committee was planning to help the w o m e n of the church do some definite w o r k in our o w n city, they decided it would be best to have a wee k of preparation before going out to give to others. That we e k of special meetings was conducted by Miss H o Siok-cheng, the secretary, and Miss H o Un-kip, a Bible W o m a n from A m o y . T h e forenoons were given over to a Study of R o m a n s which was very helpful, to the women. In the afternoon was an inspirational address in which every woman, saved or unsaved, zealous in the w o r k or cold hearted, received something to think about. W hereas the morning and afternoon sessions were mostly for the w o m e n of the church, the evening was especially for outsiders, with a distinctly evangelistic talk. All meetings were well at­tended and the church was crowded to the doors in the evening. It was a week of great spiritual blessing and w e are thankful for these consecrated workers. O n e evidence of appreciation of these meetings came from a w o m a n of very ordinary means, w h o privately brought three dollars to help pay the expenses of the speakers. T h e fact that this covered about a third of the total expense is the best estimate of the size of the gift.

A t the close of the meetings the leaders met together to plan definite work. It'was decided to start w o r k in five different centers, each center being in charge of one leader with others helping her. A meeting is held

once a week in each of the five places. S o m e are Children’s Meetings fol­lowed by teaching Romanized to a few interested girls; some are prayer- meetings, and others are evangelistic meetings. All are reporting progress and in one group the n e w hearers are especially interested. O u r next step is to get more of the w o m e n of the church to help us in this work. O n e other group which is being organized is a mothers’ meeting. Mrs. Koeppe is in charge and she, with a few Chinese mothers, is making plans to help the young mothers of the church to learn h o w to train their children and h o w they themselves can gr o w spiritually.

Day of Prayer— T h e W o r l d D a y of Prayer was observed in a w a y that was novel to Tong-an. W e followed the program sent to us, but the prayer for all nations was preceded by a simple but effective dialogue por­traying the needs of each country. A s the representatives of different countries stood on the platform, prayer was offered for each nation.

Extension Work— W e have started a semi-monthly Bible Class" and prayer-meeting in two out-stations, Te-thau and Chioh-jim. In M a r c h a week’s visit was m a d e in An-khoe, with two Bible W o m e n each day going in a different direction to visit homes and to hold a gospel meeting in a centrally located home. Because of unsettled conditions w e were only able to get as far as Chhoa-chhu-che, our nearest chapel. W e long to spend more time with these mountain people, w h o are so often closed in by them­selves with little help from others.Educational Work

Tong-an School— T h e year 1933 brought great changes to the Girls’ School. In the fall term it was united with the 'Boys’ School.

During the first term there were a few outstanding events, which will always be remembered by the pupils. T h e school was asked to participate in a County Declamatory Contest. T h e speeches • were given in Mandarin (not local dialect) and each contestant had to be ready to speak on three subjects. A t the time of the meeting lots were drawn to decide which subject it would be. Imagine our joy w h e n our girl returned with a prize— she received third place a m o n g over sixty contestants. It happened that that evening was the time for the monthly social, and our victory spurred the girls to do great things in their program. T h e monthly social was a n e w feature of last term, which helped to create a better school spirit and train the pupils in public speaking.

A fine Sunday School was carried on with the Boys’ School, with nearly all the students attending. In the highest classes every pupil went to Sunday School and church every Sunday throughout the term.

In connection with the religious w o r k of both schools, w e had a four days’ conference in the spring with Miss H o of A m o y as our leader. D u r ­ing those days of chorus singing, inspirational addresses and early m o r n ­ing prayer meetings, m a n y of the pupils in their childlike w a y showed they loved Jesus and wanted to be His disciples. W e , as teachers, realized again our privilege and opportunity of having a part in molding these young lives. ,

During the first term special attention was given to the chapel exer­cises. Sometimes a topic was carried out for a week and then again each day’s program was different. O u r most impressive service was held in Passion Week. Even the decoration of the room gave solemnity to the atmosphere. T h e talks each morning helped us realize more fully the m e a n ­ing of the Cross. T h e climax was reached Easter D a y in the Sunday School program.

In June the Closing Exercises were perhaps the best the school has ever had. At 10:00 A. M., on our tennis court, the program began with.

singing, folk dancing, and gymnastic drills, after which the guests were invited to see the splendid- handwork which was displayed so artistically in our large dining room. W e graduated five girls. T w o of them are g o ­ing on to study Kindergarten, one' is teaching in a village school, and two are at h o m e helping their mothe'rs. 1 • 1

Because of lack of funds and fewer pupils it was decided in Septem­ber to unite with the Boys’ School. T h e Boys’ School being the larger place, the classes have all been held there; but the girls continue to live in the girls’ dormitory. W e have a very capable principal with a n e w staff of teachers w h o are cooperating in every w a y for the best interests of the school. T h e girls m a k e up about one-third of the enrollment. W e trust the uniting of the schools will mea n a better and more efficient school in which to train the boys and girls of our district.

Tong-an Women's School— O u r W o m e n ’s School has tried different features this year in order to continue to help the w o m e n of our district and to meet the financial problem. In the first term a special class for out­siders was held every afternoon. In the beginning of the term the pupils came quite regularly. After the rainy weather set in our attendance drop­ped. S o m e found the distance too great, others m oved to another place; so by the end of the term our class had almost- dwindled away. There were IS boarders, mostly n e w pupils. S o m e were young w o m e n w h o learned to read very quickly. It m a d e us sad whe n they could not return in the fall. O n e mother realized her daughter was getting the gospel as well as learning to read and so she was forbidden to return. That is always the hard part in working in a W o m e n ’s School— so often your promising pupils are forced to leave.because of difficulties at home. ,

In the second term w e had only 7 pupils. This small enrollment was due not only to the raising of fees, but also to the- drought, which necessi­tated the w o m e n ’s staying at h o m e to help irrigate the fields. O n e of our w o m e n has shown progress this term in understanding the, “doctrine." She has been with us three terms and came because friends were anxious about her state of mind as well as her soul. This w i d o w had lost her only son, her means of livelihood, her hope in life, and was beside herself with grief. Although it has taken a long time, she is n o w coming to the place where she is willing to leave her sorrow arid trust in Jesus for salvation. Oh, the hundreds of w o m e n in our district w h o are like her, sick at heart, laden with their griefs because they k n o w not of the O n e w h o gives comfort and peace to hearts oppressed! W e long to reach more w o m e n through our school, that during their stay with us they m a y learn notonly h o w sweet it is to trust our Heavenly Father but also what joy thereis in loving and serving Jesus. .Medical W o r k

Miss Platz has been doing some h o m e nursing this fall since theElisabeth Blauvelt Hospital was closed. In the village back of the hos­pital she had a few patients, w o m e n and children w h o m she visited each day. Because w e are without a doctor the people are continually calling on Miss Platz to prescribe medicines as well as give nursing care.

W e give thanks for the splendid spirit of fellowship and cooperation existing between the workers; for the w o m e n w h o are giving freely of themselves and of their time to the work-of the church; for the homes that are open to us ready to use for meetings; for the hearts that are hungry arid longing to k n o w of the W a y of Salvation; and for you w o m e n at h o m e w h o are carrying on so bravely and through whose prayers these blessings come to us.

years have been realized in the form of substantial school sheds, our attractive guest house and our Indian H ouse of Prayer. All are to be marked with the names of the donors. T h o u g h these dark days of retrenchment have limited our usefulness in m a n y ways, w e are trying to press on, though crippled. T h e Clara Tallman Memorial, as w e call our House of Prayer, was dedicated Oct. 22nd, 1933, with a very impressive ceremony, w h e n Mohamm e d a n s , Hindus and Christians met there together for worship.

W e are gradually developing our school (the former A r a s a m a r a m Hindu Girls’ School). W e moved into our n e w quarters in June and w e are proud to have three H i g h School graduates as members of our Staff. T h e greatest pleasure of each day is to see our children learning the joy of dignified and soulful worship in our beautiful H ouse of Prayer.

Bible Women— This year there are 9 Bible W o m e n , two having been called to higher service. T h e number of Hindu and M o h a m m e d a n pupils under our instruction is 394. In the homes the stories of the w o m e n of the Bible were taught, and the lessons derived from these interesting characters have been m u c h appreciated and found to be applicable to present needs. Prayer has become very interesting and the w o m e n have asked us, “A m m a , teach us to pray.” The y memorize verses and lyrics, and some have bought their o w n lyric books. W h e n there is sickness, lack of peace in the homes, unemployment, failure in examinations or in

business, the w o m e n beseech us to pray for them, and their praise for blessings received is most sincere. Great joy came to one family when the father returned to his long deserted h o m e in answer to their prayers. T h e w o m e n attend lectures at the A s h r a m and w e have meetings in other centers with lectures about noble Christian women, the care of children and other general topics. W e had an Easter meeting and at another time a musical program. (Mrs. Meshack) Lizzie P eter

“Because the w a y was dark and long A n d through a lonely land,G o d set upon m y heart a song,A n d a lantern in m y hand.”

This verse seems the key note of our year’s wor k in Chittoor, for although thd thought of closing some of the n e w doors of service for girls and women, which are opening so rapidly, has been a sad one, Christ has not left us without His song of joy and courage, His lantern to shine on our way. O n e of our sources of joy has been the fine spirit with which the Bible W o m e n (two of w h o m have been reduced to half time work, and .all of w h o m have received cuts in salaries) have gone on working without a murmur, feeling they are indeed coming to k n o w “the fellow­ship of His sufferings.” T h e Hindu w o m e n w h o have come into contact with the Bible W o m e n are eager to come and call at the bungalow, to visit the Christian schools and to attend the Mothers’ meetings.'

I spoke in the last report of our efforts to m a k e the Hindu Girls’ School at Gridley, in the heart of the town, a real community center which will, w e are praying, in time become a true Social Center radiating Christ’s love and selfless service. T h e song of joy has rung in our hearts because of the eager cooperation and generous giving of time and self on the part of the already heavily burdened teachers and other members of our Christian community, so that, little by little, our dream comes nearer realization. T h e parents’ monthly meetings, with their m u c h needed advice on child welfare and training, have been well attended. W e are starting a sewing class for the mothers, whe n w e hope to get in more intensive study on making their homes more healthy and happy and Christ-like places.

So w e go onward, facing the future with courage, sure that Christ’s lantern will guide us along n e w paths of service ma d e possible not by mere “silver and gold” but by that more precious gift of voluntary, selfless service from those in whose hearts His love has shined.

“Lo, as the evening twilight fades away,T h e sky is filled with stars, invisible by day.”

Sherman Memorial Girls’ School— Like the other schools of the Mission, w e opened in great financial stress. There were fewer girls in the Hostel and the necessary house cleaning was done by the girls them­selves. T w o members of the Staff were given up, and in order to get a little m oney for current expenses, w e gave a historical play called “Raneebai.” Eight out of eleven girls successfully passed their final examinations and have entered either Training Schools or Vellore Medical School. O n e is taking the laboratory course at the Tuberculosis Sana­torium. training to he a technician in a hospital. O u r Natural Science

teacher has gone to St. Christopher’s Training College for her training course and in her place another of our old girls has joined our Staff.

This year w e have a n e w optional course in typewriting, to help our girls to avail themselves of the opportunities n o w open for Indian w o m e n as secretaries in W o m e n ’s hospitals and Girls’ schools and Inspectresses’ offices. Miss Wells is the teacher and only two girls can take the course, for w e have only two typewriters.

T h e health of the School has been, on the whole, very good. Dr. Margaret Rottschaefer gave each girl a thorough medical examination and found them in good condition. T h e Sunday School is preparing pic­tures and charts for village schools and clothes for village children as their Christmas offering, and groups of girls with teachers and older friends from the church continue to visit nearby villages on Sunday afternoons.

Beattie Memorial Training School and Model School.— Let us go out with some of the girls as they leave Beattie Memorial Training School. W e have tried to m a k e them more than teachers, for w e want them to stand for the highest type of Indian w o m a n h o o d and be strong Christian leaders wherever they m a y work. o

W e will first visit one of the girls teaching in a little Hindu Girls’ School in the town. T h e bright, eager faces of the children greet us as w e enter the room. The y commence their day’s w o r k with a short worship service and then begin their classes. T h e teacher imbued with the true spirit of service will call at the homes with a Bible W o m a n and become acquainted with the mothers and try to give them a n e w meaning for life.

N o w w e come to a little village school where the teachers are a young catechist and his 0wife w h o was trained in the Beattie Memorial. H e r h o m e is a model for the village; she keeps it very tidy and has flowers about her door and is trying to train her baby according to the methods she learned in school. Saturday afternoons she meets with the w o m e n and they discuss together their difficulties and she teaches them h o w they can obtain guidance and strength to overcome them. She has taught them to sew and knit and the w o m e n proudly display the simple little garments they have already been able to make.

Next w e will drop in on a teacher in a boarding school. T h e teacher not only teaches the children in her classes during the day but lives with them. The y bring all their little problems to her and she tries to help them as their mothers would, and so day by day, in her patient, earnest way she helps to mould their young lives into strong, lovely girlhood and womanhood.

In Madanapalle town there are no Bible W o m e n employed now, but there are one full-time and three half-time workers in centers from three to eighteen miles from Madanapalle.

Miss Sarella TeWinkel writes that she has spent about ten days each month in village wo r k accompanied by a Bible W o m a n . S o m e of these trips have been for one day and others longer. T h e y have walked for m a n y miles to reach villages that cannot be reached in any other way. Thirty villages have been visited regularly and a dozen or more not so often. There still remain many, m a n y villages where the Gospel has never yet been proclaimed. T h e talks to the children, the w o m e n and the m e n cover a wide range of subjects, but most of all spiritual messages to Christians

and non-Christians, caste people and out-castes, trying to share with all the “Good Tidings of Great Joy to all People.” T h e Sunday School Picture Rolls, sent out in Sewing Guild boxes, continue popular. Scripture texts in large Telugu colored letters have been printed on the backs of m a n y of these pictures and so their usefulness is increased.

Mrs. John D. Muyskens writes that the Ba b y W e l c o m e H o m e gives an opportunity to serve and she has met m a n y charming w o m e n there at a knitting class. Three Brahmin young w o m e n came to the bungalow and asked for classes in English, Arithmetic and History. The y are intelligent, alert and interested. T h e Madanapalle Dorcas Society has m a d e a con­tribution to the n e w church organ and m a d e garments at Christmas time for the poor Christian village children. Every Friday evening meetings are held for the Christian w o m e n w h o are day laborers in a small chapel near the homes of the village women.Educational Work .

Girls’ Secondary School.— T h e school has been fortunate in havimr no change in the Indian staff this year. A s before, the teachers have shown a splendid spirit of loyalty and Christian service. Most of them are Rangers, winners of the silver cup at the last District competition. Their school w ork has been c o m mended by our n e w Government Inspectress, w h o m a d e par­ticular mention of the special teachers.

In January I joined the staff and Miss Coburn left on furlough after the close of school in April. Since that time w e all have missed her tireless energy, enthusiasm and devotion.

T h e girls have been working hard at lessons and getting a great deal of enjoyment from their gardening and supervised play. M a n y of them are enthusiastic Bluebirds and Guides and the whole school is proud of our Guide shield, w o n three successive years in open competition.

T h e school ma d e a real contribution to the town’s Health W e e k activities last year with posters and program. In the spring a public enter­tainment was given, showing different phases of school work, and w e plan shortly to have another in connection with an exhibit and sale of baskets, decorated bags, woven borders, embroidered cloths and other handwork m a d e in our school, the proceeds to go for more materials.

T h e hostel has been carefully managed, as always, by our conscientious matron. T h e girls are happy and give little trouble. S o m e have recently had tonsil operations. W e are very grateful to the staff of our Mission hospital for the kindly, effective medical supervision given all the girls.

W e try to meet religious needs in various ways, and some of the girls are. getting valuable training and doing real service in Sunday School, Christian Endeavor and allied activities of the school.

Medical WorkMary Lott Lyles Hospital.— Once again in looking back over the year

w e lift up our hearts in gratitude to our Heavenly Father for His manifold mercies towards us. O u r Hospital, n o w in good repair and with added facilities, called for more intensive work, but with Dr. Gibbons and Dr. Korteling at h o m e and Dr. Chorley in England this was out of the question; keeping up the daily routine required all'our strength and energy.

O u r patients and people have understood our difficulties and have cooperated with us as far as they could. O u r c o m m o n adversities have brought us all closer together and have helped us all to put n e w values on m a n y things. O u r Pastor’s wife, w h o is also the Lady Doctor at the

Government Hospital here, is a m e m b e r of our Local Council. She is the Medical Consultant at the Child Welfare Center as well, and through her the medical work of the town is brought in very close touch with us.

Nurses’ Training.— There were three Senior and eight Junior nurses w h o took the examinations. All eleven passed, most of them very well and three with distinction. Graduation exercises were held for our three grad­uates in our Hospital courtyard, which lent itself beautifully to the occasion. Mrs. deWolfe gave the principal address, Dr. Hart a brief history of the Training School for Nurses, and Mrs. H e n r y J. Scudder presented the graduates with their diplomas.

During the year a Christian Endeavor Society was formed a m o n g the nurses with the hope that it will be a help to them in promoting spiritual life and growth. T h e meetings are held on Sunday evenings after dinner wh e n the wo r k of the week is over. W e have been fortunate in having a number of visitors w h o have given interesting talks to our nurses.

Evangelistic WorkBible Women.— Since August, three of our Bible W o m e n have been

reduced to half pay. It was a difficult thing to do, but I a m glad to say the w o r k has not suffered. T h e w o m e n are gladly received everywhere and could visit more homes if they had the time and strength. O u r one village worker gives her time to the ignorant and lowly village w o m e n w h o toil from early morning until night for their existence with a short rest during the heat of the day. T h e Bible W o m a n visits them in their homes whenever possible and at other times goes where they are at work in the fields and teaches them while they are resting. She assists them in times of sickness and trouble, night or day, and a change is slowly taking place, for the w o m e n and children look more tidy and are more friendly.

Hindu Girls’ Schools.— In the Hindu Girls’ Schools at Kosapalayam, Arnipalayam and W a n d i w a s h the teachers have done their w o r k with a true desire to serve their Master. Because of lack of funds, in January the Staff of each school was reduced from six to five teachers. This seemed to stimulate the remaining teachers to give better service so that the schools would not suffer! After the schools were put on a self supporting basis in August, the teachers were given the opportunity to take up work elsewhere. Three of them have left to be married, but the others are staying on, two H e a d mistresses and an Assistant, even refusing more permanent positions at a higher salary.

Evangelistic WorkBible Women— W e have g rown old in the work; for at least twenty-

five years, once or twice a week, w e have visited houses in all parts of the town. “T h e Cut” has broken up our group of three workers with w h o m it was a pleasure to visit in caste homes. H o w can ofir one remaining w o m a n carry on as did the strong group of former days? This woman, though on reduced pay, is always busy, as she is called in by the w o m e n to help them in m a n y ways. Another woman, though pensioned now, is offering part time service in the Dispensary. T h e third worker, grown gray in Mission service, feels that her working days are over.

. (M rs. W alter T.) E llen B. Scudder, M.D.Hindu Girls’ School.— T h o u g h the support of the Assembly has been

withdrawn and the School put on a self supporting basis, thus greatly reducing the salaries of the teachers, they are working as earnestly and as cheerfully as before. T h e School has m a d e steady progress during the year. In this town our School is the only Elementary School giving instruction up to the Sixth Standard. There is a growing desire on the part of some parents to give their daughters higher education. This year five of our girls have been admitted into the Boys’ Hig h School, and one girl has gone to a Madras school where there is hostel accommodation for Hindu Girls. (M rs. E.) A nnie Ponnuraj, Headmistress

Medical .Work .In the Dispensary during the year w e have given 2546 treatments.

There were 41 maternity cases and 70 minor operations. O u r private maternity room was used m a n y weeks by patients w h o came from the district. A M o h a m m e d a n w h o brought his wife several times for treat­ment insisted before leaving that she lift her veil and gaze on the Sunday School picture-roll, while he, instead of the Bible W o m a n , told the story of the Nativity in her language. Their young sons came to the bungalow for the Tamil version, so they joyfully departed rewarded with two por­tions of the N e w Testament. A charming little Brahmin girl the very next day repeated the same story learned from the picture-roll at Sunday School in the Hindu Girls’ School. Y o u would feel uplifted could you hear the girls sing the Christian lyrics. “Peace on Earth” is a verse they all know. (Mrs. W alter T.) E llen B. Scudder, M.D.

R A N I P E T .Evangelistic Work' Bible IVomen.— This year’s round of service has meant a constant going and coming in the five towns which w e visit in this area, in and out of m a n y Hindu homes, three Hindu Girls’ Schools, m a n y Christian villages, and the Hospital at Ranipet. W e have enjoyed the fellowship of friends and have tried to influence their lives by telling them about, the “Jesus W a y . ” Often, too, w e were ma d e sad as w e listened to tragic tales told us by some of these friends. It was a satisfaction to carry to such the “G o o d N e w s ” and to try to cheer them with our songs and stories.

In spite of the cuts the three Hindu Girls’ Schools in Arcot, Kaveripak, and Ranipet have continued to carry on. All the teachers have worked with a will, leading their pupils, young girls and widows, into light and truth, a w a y from fear, prejudice and distrust. T h e Bible W o m e n and our Assistant, Mrs. William, have borne their share of burdens in a most Christian spirit. W e give praise and honor to those w h o have been pen­sioned after some thirty years of faithful, loving service. In cur devotional meetings with our workers w e have stressed the meaning of service, using Gordon’s book in which he shows that a secret life of prayer plus an active life of service can do wonders to win souls.

Central Hindu Girls’ School.— T h e n e w year began with disappoint­ments, and lack of funds caused serious loss to m a n y families. In spite of this w e have had courage to go on with our wor k as usual. W e still have Standards 6, 7 and 8 in our school, although the number of students in the three upper classes is small. T w o girls w h o passed the Eighth Standard are taking teachers’ training. T w o others have joined the Wala- japet Boys’ Hi g h School in order to continue their education. S o m e of the girls have gone to the Mission Girls’ Boarding School while others

have been admitted to the R o m a n Catholic Girls School. W e are trying to do our best in spite of reduced funds, and some of the children come to school every morning and do the necessary cleaning before class work begins M rs. D. P a k yanadan

Social Center.— T h e lectures and fellowship at the Center have at­tracted both Hindu and M o h a m m e d a n ladies. O n e attraction this year was a movie on the Life of Christ, shown to a large Hindu audience. W e could not have wished for a more quiet and respectful crowd. M a n y were in tears to see h o w cruelly Christ was treated. In m y visits to the Hindu homes, very often I hear the w o m e n speak highly of Christianity. Though-these w o m e n do not understand the higher love of Jesus, which includes the untouchables and transforms them, yet they see this love exemplified in the Hospital and a m o n g the Christians.

T h e M o h a m m e d a n ladies are just as keen as the others to hear about the Saviour and His Love. The y are eager to learn to read and write. Th e y come to visit m e after eight o’clock at night or at four o’clock in the early mornings. The y are n o w coming to the Center after dark for lectures and entertainments. T h e last program given was a short play on Prayer, • the story of Samuel’s life portrayed by our Boarding School girls. H o w pleased w e were to welcome fifty M o h a m m e d a n w o m e n and a hundred of their children, as well as some Hindu w o m e n !

T h e uneducated Christian sisters in the town are not neglected, for I have Bible Classes for them in three places every week, and w e help them to keep clean houses and clean children. This year w e had just one village conference for women. W e all gathered in a big m a n g o grove on the bank of a river. O n e hundred and twenty Christian w o m e n came from seven villages, leaving their day’s wages to come to worship the Lord in the beautiful outdoors. W e feel such meetings are helpful to these village sisters w h o have few such experiences in their lives.

Late in the evenings at about eight o’clock, w e go to see the village w o m e n and tell them of their Burden-Bearer. These w o m e n wo r k in the fields like m e n and in the evening come h o m e and do the domestic work. T h o u g h they are weary, they are ready to sit for an hour, or more, listen­ing to the stories and teachings of our Saviour.

Educational WorkHigher Elementary Girls’ Boarding School.— School days of study

and play, of hostel duties, gardening and poultry-raising followed one after another in close succession. Government inspection came and went. Distinguished visitors came our w a y and gave us talks. Rosalie Hacon, the Provincial Girl Guide Trainer, came and inspected our Guide C o m ­panies, Blue Bird flocks and Rangers. Alice V a n Doren gave our teachers a farewell talk on projects.

A s Christmas time came, the children became thrilled over making things and giving them to the villages. In the end w e not only supplied the schools of the Eastern circle with arithmetic charts, health charts, globe maps painted on pots, and calendars, but the children also m a d e per­sonal things for their parents and friends. The y even brought tinsel paper “to decorate the h o m e churches for the village children.” A n d the children of the Junior Sunday School left for the villages supplied with soap and combs to help them put into effect the things learned at School.

In April, twelve out of our thirteen Eighth Standard girls became communicant members of the Church.

July brought further cuts and a determination on our part to teach school every Saturday to save money. So far w e have been well and happy doing it. .

O u r Christian Endeavor Societies were visited in August by Mr. Vere Abby, w h o gave suggestions for carrying on their activities.

A n d so the year has been one of happy companionship and growth, all working together for the glory of the Master.

Educational Work .Women’s Industrial School.— T h e enrollment of the School has been

reduced to 68 including the six Training Students. O u r activities are m a n y and varied and all the girls keep busy from 5.30 in the morning until 9 in the evening. This year w e have developed more of our c o m p o u n d ; so w e have all been busy planting, weeding and harvesting. T h e gardens are giving the Hostel a good supply of fresh vegetables and w e have sold some. It has all meant hard wor k for the girls but they do it cheerfully and keep in mind the School Motto, “Whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as unto the Lord.” ’

Because of fewer orders and sales w e have been able to give more time to the courses in sewing, drafting, mending, weaving, knitting, crocheting, child care, hygiene, h o m e nursing and cooking, and there is Bible study every day. All these courses will be a great help to the girls wh e n they establish village homes of their own. T h e silk w o r m raising and silk reeling have been very successful and the girls have been fascinated with the work, but because of the reduction in the price of raw silk it has not been a source of income as w e had hoped.

O u r little Hospital Cottage has been a great comfort to us; there has been less sickness and w e have been able to give the proper treatment. T h e Christian Endeavor Society has showed a real spirit of service. S u n ­day evenings Committees go to visit the patients in the Government H o s ­pital and sing songs and tell stories. T h e y also go to near-by villages to talk to the w o m e n and have little services.

W e are grateful to those w h o have m a d e it possible for this group of girls to come and learn to be better Christian women.

Bible IVomen— T h e two Bible W o m e n w h o have worked at Palmaner are doing what Christian wo r k they can even though they are not employed by the Mission now. O n e has been pensioned for long years of service. Mrs. Jonas reports that m a n y of the Hindu w o m e n to w h o m she has taught Christian h ymns and prayers and Bible verses are afraid to ac­knowledge openly their belief in Christ; yet they declare that their chil­dren will be Christians. T h e children have listened to the stories of Christ’s love and have come to love Christ and to believe that he loves and cares for them. In times of sickness the children have asked their mothers to pray to the Jesus w h o can see and hear, and if their mothers cannot pray they have rushed to the h o m e of the Bible W o m a n to bring her to pray for them.

Hindu Girls’ School— T h e girls love the School and are benefited more than anyone can know; they love their sewing classes taught by the pupil- teachers from the W o m e n ’s Industrial School and their English class taught by Miss Geegh, and their Bible class. Th e y have a little vegetable and flower garden which they care for most carefully and they take h o m e

the vegetables and flowers. W e hope they m a y learn to occupy their idle hours in useful industry whe n they leave the School to become little h o m e makers.

Bible Women— Since August, 1933, w e have had only one Bible W o m a n working a m o n g the caste w o m e n of Punganur and one at Kalikiri doing village work. In Punganur, if interest can be reckoned upon, m a n y a caste w o m a n is very near the K i n g d o m of God. I cannot recall a single in­stance of a pupil being indifferent or antagonistic to the Christian teaching. Social gatherings in the Mission Bungalow and in the Hindu Girls’ School have brought these w o m e n together in a friendly way, w h e n some particular point of Christ’s teaching is always emphasized. W e ask the prayers of the Christian w o m e n of America for their sisters w h o are their representatives in this part of India. T h e y love their work, but it is often hard and dis­couraging. I shall miss the meetings w h e n w e prayed together about their problems and prepared the lessons for the month. W e ask also from the w o m e n in our Church at h o m e that our prayers shall rise together to the Throne of Grace for the w o m e n of India.

Hindu Girls’ School— It was in the last month of 1907 that I took charge of the School in Punganur. Today a large number of the pupils are daughters and grand-daughters of the girls w h o attended the School in 1907. Only one teacher w h o was on the Staff of the School at that time is n o w a resident of Punganur; she is Mrs. Chinnamma, w h o has this year retired on pension after 43 years of excellent service.

T h e School has never been as efficient and well equipped for service as it is now. T h e building is in good order and accommodates the six classes comfortably. T h e equipment is good and the teachers are all well qualified. T h e beautiful Playground, which was a gift from our W o m a n ’s Board of Foreign Missions only a few years ago, is a joy to all and an attraction to all the w o m e n and girls of the town. T h e Sunday School numbers from 60 to 90 each Sunday afternoon, and it seems that the Holy Spirit is there with us. W e remind ourselves that it is not by might (edu­cation) nor by power (money) but by G o d ’s Spirit that India is to be w o n for Him. (Mrs. H e n r y J.) M argaret B. ScunnER •

M E D I C A L - E V A N G E L I S T I C W O R K IN T H E VI L L A G E SAt the present time Village Uplift and Improvement is one of the

most talked of subjects in India and a m o n g Christian Missions in India. India, so largely a rural country, is awakening to the fact that if ever she is going to become a nation, the village people must be lifted to a higher plane, especially emphasizing economic conditions and health and sanitation.

In the village in which I lived the daily dispensary afforded a means of helping a great m a n y people in need. Th e y came from all the surround­ing villages with all sorts of diseases. S o m e had been ill for years and m a n y of them needed hospital treatment. Minor operations could be done in the little dispensary hut where I worked with one nurse to help me. She gave the anaesthetic while I operated. Those w h o needed hospital care were urged to go to the Ranipet or Vellore Hospital, and I often took patients to Vellore.

A s m a n y as possible of the surrounding villages are visited in the afternoons. Besides visiting our Christian villages w e m a d e it a point to

visit villages from which sick people had come to us. In this w a y w e were able to help them in a very definite way. .

W e feel more and more the need for and the importance of village work, not only medical but economic and spiritual uplift. W e try to work with all this in mind. It is often discouraging business, but the medical work always gives one the satisfaction of at least relieving h u m a n suffer­ing. A visitor w h o had watched all morning the w o r k of the village dis­pensary said with real concern, “W h a t I have been wondering all the morning is: W h e r e would all these people have gone for help if you had not been here?” T h e answer to that was that most of them would have gone without help. K n o w i n g that one can help them is one of the c o m ­pensations for being in the villages.

Report for 1933Y O K O H A M A — FERRIS S E M I N A R Y

Report of the PrincipalThe Tacuity There is a fine spirit of cooperation a m o n g the members

of the faculty and they go about their wo r k with commendable joy and zest. Miss Hayashi has contributed a great deal through her activity as vice-principal. It is interesting to note that there are n o w a fair number of Japanese faculty members with degrees. There is one Master of T h e ­ology from Union, a Bachelor of Religious Education from Hartford, a B. Sc. and one B. A. from Kyoto Imperial University and one B. A. in Education from the T o k y o Imperial University. There is also an M . A. from Columbia and it is expected that Mr. Takenaka will bring an M. A. from the same University wh e n he joins the staff in April.

T h e faculty Bible Class, organized in April at the request of some members of the faculty', has been a real joy. T h e class meets every other week and so far it has taken the form of an exchange of Christian experi­ence with regard to the leading doctrines of the Christian religion.

Miss Reeves joined the staff of the Music Department in the spring for part time work in connection with her studies in the Japanese Language School and from September has been carrying a full schedule in addition to her wo r k on the language. Mrs. Hennigar discontinued her wo r k in that Department in September. T h e wo r k which she did was greatly ap­preciated by everyone, but w e are glad to have a regular full time teacher.

Since the Board was unable to send out anyone for the English D e ­partment, Miss Douglas, a missionary of the Methodist Protestant Church, was engaged. H e r salary is being met from the rent of the Principal’s residence, and the Principal and his family are living in the Ladies’ Residence.

Because of the unfortunate illness of Miss Zander, it became necessary for Miss Eringa to give up her fine wo r k in K u r u m e and return to the school in September.

Miss Noordhoff came to the school in April of 1922, more than a year before the great earthquake, and went through that trying period with the school. H e r energetic work at that time will long be remembered. During her more than ten years at the school she has held various responsible positions on the staff, including that.-of Acting Principal for one year. She will be greatly missed by her m a n y friends a m o n g the faculty, stu­dents and graduates of the school as well as those in the Y o k o h a m a c o m ­munity.

Students— Student registration has increased somewhat during the year. Before graduation in M a r c h the total registration in both departments was 433. Eighty-seven graduated— fifty-eight from the Hi g h School, none from the Domestic E c o n o m y Course . and twelve from the English Literary Course— in March, but after the n e w students were entered there was a total registration of-465. This has been pretty well maintained throughout the year, the registration at the end of December being 457. O f this total 36 are in the Higher Department.

There were 295 applicants for the 90 places in the first year class of the High School. This number is only slightly larger than that of last year. G r a m m a r School Principals are beginning to exercise considerable selection of applicants from their schools. This results in a better grade of student rather than an increased number of applicants.

A beginning has been m a d e in student participation in the control of student life during school Hours. Beginning with this school year personal guidance periods have been written into the schedule for every section, and section teachers have this as a regular part of their responsibilities. T h e student monitors for the upper classes are called together every other week. T h e problems discussed at these meetings are taken back to the personal guidance periods and there discussed by the whole section under the lead­ership of the monitor. It is hoped that this will gradually develop into a full program of student self government. ■

T h e result of a study of the Christian contacts of the students of the entering class of the Hi g h School m a y be interesting. Eighty-seven stu­dents were in attendance the day the investigation was made. O f these 28 had never attended Sunday School and thus had had practically no con­tact with Christianity. Fifty-eight were .from families without a single m e m b e r a Christian. Forty-one had attended Sunday School at one time or another, but more than half of these for only one year. Eighteen had been regular attendants at Sunday School for various periods, seven from the age of four or five years. Nine came from families all of whose m e m ­bers are Christians and twenty-one from families with some Christians a m o n g them. '

W e are glad to report that a beginning has been ma d e on a thorough­going health program for the students. A teacher in the Public Health School connected with St. Luk e ’s International Medical Center in T okyo has been engaged for part-time service and the students in the Domestic E c o n o m y Course have been associated with her in a health program for the first and second year classes. A daily record of the health of each stu­dent has been kept and a chart of weight and height. Certain health habits have been inculcated and a record of the actual practice of these habits kept. Arrangements have been ma d e for the drinking of milk at noon and after school and about 200 students have availed themselves of this oppor­tunity. T h e nurse has also called on students w h o are out of school on account of illness.' Through the generosity of the Ferris Association— the Parent-Teacher organization— a dental clinic has been fully equipped

at a cost of about Y600 and the services of a school dentist have been secured. . . . ,

Relations with Parents— T h e Ferris Association has functioned actively during the year. T h e Board of Directors have met monthly and various activities have been arranged for. T h e parents of the students of the vari­ous classes have been called together a n d : educational problems have been discussed with them. There is a distinctly different attitude on the part of the parents toward religious problems. There are still a number of the girls w h o are unable to secure the consent of their- parents for baptism, but there is also a number of parents w h o take a liberal attitude. W e k n o w of one case where the mother has begun to attend church so that she can m a k e up her mind whether she will consent to her daughter’s desire to be baptized. W e have been quite frank at parents’ meetings in urging that the parents do not stand in the w a y of a free choice of faith 'on the part of their daughters, and the response from them has been very gratifying. Miss Hayashi has been able to obtain m a n y personal conferences with parents, w h e n this problem was frankly discussed by them.

Relations with Alumnae— Miss Hayashi spent a good part of her s u m ­m e r vacation visiting alumnae in the Hokkaido. She has also been able to m a k e personal calls o n -many living in the neighborhood of T o k y o and Yokohama, and has kept up her wide personal correspondence with them. T h e annual meeting of the Association was held in June at the school and was attended by a large number. T h e Association is purchasing books for the library with a view to the building up of a memorial to Dr. Booth. T h e Principal and Miss Hayashi attended a meeting of the T o k y o Branch in the autumn. W e mentioned the need of an endowment fund for the school at that time and shortly afterwards a graduate from Lima, Peru, w h o was visiting Japan with her husband, called at the school and left a gift of Y 1 0 0 for an endowment fund. Miss Hayashi is also aware that one graduate has put rather a large s u m in her will in favor of such a fund.

Special Events— In addition to the usual commemoration of the Japan­ese National holidays, a special service was held for faculty and students on the anniversary of the promulgation of the Rescript on Education. O n the occasion of the birth of the C r o w n Prince, December the 23rd, special exercises were held.

During the autumn the school entertained the teachers of the Chris­tian schools in Yokohama, about one hundred being in attendance, and the annual meeting of the Principals of Government and private Hi g h Schools and G r a m m a r Schools in Y o k o h a m a was held at the school. About one hundred school officials were in attendance and this gave us a good oppor­tunity to introduce the school to government schoolmen.

Conclusion—r'We are gratified that the w o r k has been maintained dur­ing the year in spite of reduced appropriation. W e are grateful for spiritual blessings received and for guidance throughout the year.

L. J. Shafer, PrincipalChristian Activities

Y.W.C.A.— Last spring w e divided our Y.W.C.A. into senior and junior groups. T h e former includes the Junior College and the Fifth Year of the High School while the latter is composed of the lower classes. Each group has officers on the “Y ” cabinet. T h e reason for the change was to give greater responsibilities to the older girls and to provide programs suitable to each division. A number of the older girls are responsible for group' meetings with the younger girls. Attendance at meetings is volun­tary for the older group with the result that two-thirds at least of them

32 Woman!s Board of Foreign Missions

attend the group meetings while a m u c h larger percentage come to the general meetings, at which w e have some speaker or a program arranged by the program committee. This autumn one of the local pastors presented a very fine set of colored lantern-slide pictures of the Life of Christ with a beautifully told story of His life. This lecture was very m u c h enjoyed.A few weeks before Christmas, Mr. Toyohito Kagawa, the well-known evangelist and social worker, spoke at one of our meetings with the result that a number of pupils became earnest enquirers. Th e y were later formed into three classes for special instruction and Christian guidance. A n u m ­ber of them have already signified their desire to receive baptism. I a m glad to report that this year there have been twenty-six baptisms, a con­siderable advance over the twelve baptisms of last year. O u r “Y ” is also interested in a social settlement project in Y o k o h a m a called the Friend H o m e . O u r association has pledged ten yen a month toward the support of • this wo r k with additional gifts of money and clothes for the poor.

Week of Prayer— T h e international W e e k of Prayer was observed this autumn with early morning prayer meetings led by the pupils and very largely attended. W e were also greatly privileged this fall in hearing Miss Muriel Lester of Kingsley Hall, London, w h e n she spoke to a gathering of school girls from the several Mission Schools of Yokohama. T h e meet­ing was held at Ferris Seminary. Miss Lester spoke in English, very ably interpreted, and she m a d e a great impression upon her hearers as she told the story of her life a m o n g the poor people of London.

Sunday School— T h e Ferris Seminary Sunday School has continued under the leadership of Miss Hayashi and several other teachers. There is an average attendance of fifty at this Sunday School. Three pupils have missed not a single Sunday and three others only one.

Conferences— During the s u m m e r about forty pupils attended the dif­ferent conferences and the s u m m e r cam p conducted by the “Y ” at Lake Nojiri. W e were glad that so m a n y had both the desire and opportunity to attend these inspirational and educative conferences.'

Christmas— For the White Christmas this year w e collected Y152.55, an advance of almost Y45.00 over last year’s gifts. These gifts were pre­sented at our Christmas program. Those presenting them joined with the twenty-six girls w h o had received baptism this year in a simple but im ­pressive ceremony whe n the gifts were given. C. Janet O ltmans

I was interested to find a very live parent-teachers association at Fer­ris. T h e majority of parents seem to attend the meetings and w e teachers, in learning to k n o w them, have great opportunities for service. Another n e w institution was enquirers’ classes for the girls. Miss Hayashi has charge of one group and I of the other. It is a real pleasure to teach these girls because of their vital interest. T h e following is a sample of a few N e w Year resolutions that they as a group m a d e : “This year w e will seek Christ with all our hearts, and in doing so w e will spend fifteen minutes every morning in prayer and Bible reading and w e will try to attend church as m u c h as possible.” T h e street Sunday School under the auspices of the school Y.W.C.A. is carried on by six Ferris girls, with an attendance of fifty to eighty children. M u c h patience and tact is required here as the children in port cities are less docile and harder to manage than those in the interior.

W e realize that the teaching of English is an indirect means of reach­ing the girls, nevertheless the direct teaching of the W o r d affords us the greatest pleasure, and so I rejoice that I have been entrusted with this opportunity. D ora E ringa

Music DepartmentFull time teaching at Ferris Seminary began in September with con­

tinuation of the class and three private pupils I had been teaching during the spring term and the pupils w h o m Mrs. Hennigar had been teaching. For language advantage and friendship of a few Japanese girls w h o are representative of the whole student body and for a better understanding of Japanese ways 1 have been living at the dormitory. T h e idea of “re­spect to superiors” has m a d e “friendship on the level” difficult. Teachers and students eat at separate tables. But recreation, games and an occa­sional outing have helped us to feel real friendship. T w o of the older dormitory girls and a daughter of the matron were baptized at Christmas time. Another of the dormitory girls, one of m y pupils, has been wanting to become a Christian, but her parents refuse to let her be baptized.

T h e music department has been growing and more girls are taking private lessons. W e have had two recitals. T h e school has been able to buy a good "used G e r m a n piano and to replace a reed organ with a better one for the Chapel. A store-room has been cleared and is being used as Miss K u m a g a w a ’s studio. She is teaching piano and singing classes, full time. Mrs. Murai comes two days a week for music classes and private vocal students. Miss Hayashi has one organ pupil and spent a great deal of time and effort in preparation for the Christmas cantata, “O n to Beth­lehem.” Thirty girls sang the cantata for the Ladies’ Auxiliary December program at the Y o k o h a m a Union Church so beautifully in English that some of the ladies wept. All the students took part in the cantata for the Ferris Christmas program. T h e y had all been looking forward to that day. Every morning for two weeks carols were sung in Chapel and student talks were given on the meaning of Christmas. T h e dormitory girls had additional carol rehearsals and sang several in three part singing at their Christmas dinner for the foreign staff. Those w h o were still there went caroling before daybreak Christmas morning.

I have accomplished very little in the past year, but I hope that the friendships ■ m a d e and the foundation for future wor k will not have been in vain. I a m planning to start a music appreciation course, arrange for private lessons for all the piano class pupils and start a n e w class in April. V irginia R eeves

S H I M O N O S E K I — S T U R G E S S E M I N A R Y -In school, wo r k the years as they com e and go are strangely similar.

Classes graduate just w h e n they seem most responsive and capable, and n e w classes, untried and unknown, enter to rouse one’s interest and a m ­bition to see what can be done with them. In spite of keener competition and other difficulties, the school has maintained a very good attendance of about 400 during the past year.

There have been some changes in the faculty. O n e music teacher, her­self a graduate of the school and daughter of a former student, was m a r ­ried. She was a very attractive second-generation Christian and w e rejoice with the newly organized church in Manchuria with which she is n o w connected. Another member, w h o was married last year but had con­tinued her connection with the school, passed a w a y after a long and pain­ful illness, leaving the fragrance of a strong Christian hope and trust.

W e had the privilege of hearing Mr. Arima, who, as the Christian warden of one of the largest prisons of T o k y o for 43 years, has done m u c h for that aspect of the nation’s welfare. H e is at present working for delinquent girls in Yokohama. His address was mainly upon the im ­portance of the mother’s influence upon the early life of the child. M a n y '

other speakers had opportunity to bring to the students the various inter­ests related to the social and religious life of the w o m e n of this nation.

A m o n g the musical events of the year the concert by a nineteen year old Japanese lady was specially well received, 'this was followed by a concert given by a vocalist, also trained in Paris. T h e - proceeds of both these concerts were divided between the purchase of a sewing machine for a leper hospital and a tuberculosis hospital in Tokyo, the head of which was at one time our school physician. '

T h e interest in athletics has been steadily maintained. T h e school met with success in winning both the silver cup for tennis and later the M a y o r ’s trophy, in a contest of four schools. They lost in the Prefectural contests. Success and failure are part of the experiences of life; so it is well they should meet them early when their thoughts can be directed upon the best manner of accepting them. W e feel there has been distinct improvement in their sportsmanship.

It is gratifying to report that the art w o r k of one of our third year students was singled out for special reward in an “All Japan Exhibit” held in Nara. These events are an inspiration to pupils and teachers and a stimulus to all. Mr. Kuroki, our' oldest teacher, was honored by the E d u ­cational Association with a medal and certificate for his forty years of service. S o m e time before he was similarly honored by the Prefecture. Only those w h o k n o w this humble, Christian gentleman of the fine, fast- vanishing old school of Japan, will appreciate h o w m u c h and more he de­serves the honor. It recognizes his educational value, but w e k n o w in part h o w m u c h his spiritual influence has meant to this institution, church and community. '

T h e Y.W.C.A., under the supervision of Miss Gillilan and Miss W a l ­voord has ma d e great progress. There have been m a n y evidences of growth 'on the part of the students and fine development of character and leader­ship. Th e y have shown a greater interest in all the spiritual activities of the school and also in other social, athletic and philanthropic activities. The y have become more group-conscious and socially minded. There have been some good speakers bringing to the students a vision of wider and larger needs. O n e judge lectured on matters of the law as it pertained to questions affecting w o m e n directly. Others, notably Mr. Kimura, the evangelist, and Mr. Hoekje were privileged to gather up the results of the Bible teaching and by special address and appeal to bring m a n y to a de­cision.

T h e Christmas program was a dramatization of the Christmas story beginning with the temple scene of Zacharias and the angel’s message to him. During the dramatization the reading of suitable portions of scrip­ture gave the explanation, while carols and h y m n s supported the whole. It was impressively rendered and w e trust carried the message to some hearts. T h e gifts from teachers, pupils and guests, together with articles mad e by the Y.W.C.A. members, were presented at the manger. T h e twenty- six girls and one teacher baptized during the year came forward in a processional, singing,

“0 Jesus, I have promised T o serve thee to the end.”

and each lighted her candle at the central light signifying her re-consecra­tion to Christ as her Lord and Master. Jennie A. P ieters .

Evangelistic Work N A G A S A K IAfter the s u m m e r our oldest Children's Meeting, begun in that local­

ity twenty-five years ago, was no longer welcome in the h o m e which had sheltered us for three years. W e asked the Lord to provide a room for us and, before w e had time to look very far, the mother of three of our little girls came and offered to rent us her rooms. W e gladly accepted, and as w e talked with her w e learned for the first time that she herself in the early days had attended that school.

The total enrollment for the year in our four children's meetings was 399 52 more than the previous year. T h e average attendance was 115, while that for the year before was 97. There are m a n y things that c o m ­bine to keep d o w n our average: annual festivals, school athletics, concerts, picnics, and extra hours of study, besides frequent moving of families and opposition in the home.

A s usual there was a separate Christmas celebration for each of the four schools. W e had tried, in preparing the children, to lead them to do their parts to please H i m whose Birthday w e were celebrating. W e hope that there was joy in heaven as well as in the hearts of the little ones. T h e total attendance at the four gatherings was nearly 300. T w o Christian orphanages were again remembered by our Christmas collections.

O u r M o n d a y School is held in the h o m e of an elder of our church'. H e is a very busy man, but he takes a great interest in the Christmas. H e provides the tree and all the decorations and is a great help in arrang­ing the children and looking after things generally. His wife teaches the tiny ones and works hard in drilling them for their parts in the Christmas program.

W e are thankful that w e have been able to continue the publication of the “Ochibo,” our monthly, paper. Even though the hard times have been reflected in reduced receipts from the readers, special gifts, .some from quite unexpected sources, have m a d e it possible to meet all expenses without using any regular Mission funds and to begin the n e w year with a balance— one more evidence of the Lord’s providing.

O u r h o m e weekly evening Bible Class has welcomed some n e w hearers, and the average attendance was better than' the year before. W e were especially happy at the coming of a young medical student, the younger brother of a Baiko Jo Gakuin graduate. T h e parents are faithful Buddhists. This young m a n had determined to become a Buddhist priest, but as he was about to graduate from Hi g h School he decided to study medicine in order to please his parents, w h o did not like to have their only son renounce the attractions of the world for temple service. His turning toward Chris­tianity will hardly please them either, but he seems to feel definitely a spiritual need which the Buddhist teaching cannot satisfy, and of his o w n accord he has begun attending church and our class.

O u r afternoon h o m e Bible Class attendance also averaged slightly above the previous year, although the closing of the Nagasaki branch of a large bank took from the city a few w o m e n w h o sometimes came. O n e m e m b e r of this class, a young wife for w h o m w e have prayed for four or five years, was baptized by Mr. Hoekje in June. A n older woman, baptized in her school days in Tokyo, had not attended church services for years, but she has been regularly coming to our class, began church attendance this spring and has not missed one Sunday morning since. A n d that means a good deal, for she has no maid and a semi-invalid mother. H e r husband, the principal of the City Girls’ High School, while not a professing Chris­tian, is of a Christian family and puts no obstacles in the w a y of his‘wife’s church attendance.

T h e young pastor of the independent church which w e attend was ordained in Nove m b e r and on the day before Christmas had his first bap­tismal service. A young husband and wife and their first baby with five other young people were baptized, and the daughter of one elder was re­ceived into full membership. In last year’s report mention was m a d e of a very devoted young woman, the only Christian in her family, so earnestly desiring the salvation of her friends and relatives. T h e young wife in the family which was baptized is her younger sister, and the joy in her heart was surely an echo of that “in the presence of the angels of God.” A n older sister has begun to attend church and comes regularly to one of Miss T o m e g a w a ’s Bible Classes. A friend, also, . a regular attendant at both church and Bible Class, wished to be baptized at the same time but her father has not yet given his consent.

O u r church W o m a n ’s Society, of which Miss T o m e g a w a is still presi­dent, has had a good year. W e have had the joy of having one disaffected m e m b e r confess her wilfulness and cheerfully join us again. W e have wel­comed five n e w members in place of two lost by removal.

A s w e rejoice and give thanks for the blessings of the past and for the tokens that G o d is working in our midst, w e pause a m o m e n t to glance at the multitudes in this city w h o have not yet heard the Gospel message and at the m a n y w h o have heard but whose hearts are still closed to its acceptance. It is with trust in H i m W h o said to A b r a h a m : “Is anything too hard for the Lord?” that w e enter the N e w Year, hoping to see “greater works than these.” . Sara M . CouchNew Contacts

M y departure from Y o k o h a m a was unavoidably delayed and it was middle October before I could begin work, but contacts m a d e for m e by former students and friends at once gave m e some English arid Bible stu­dents. Calls on former Ferris Seminary students strengthened these con­tacts, and a Girls’ English Club resulted which meets every Saturday after- •noon in the little Mission church. T h e y have no special expressed desire for Bible lessons but the regular program of the meeting includes English games, English songs and h y m n s and a Bible lesson. Th e y take h o m e with them the words of both Bible outline and h y m n and w e pray a blessing m a y follow the effort. T h e attendance has been variable— from twelve to sixty according to the w o r k demanded of them at their school.

N u m b e r 16 Higashi yamate (Eastern Bluff) is very near a crowded residential section where children have no play space unless it be the street— or uninvited in the garden of No. 16. After considerable study of the situation and of the results of such conditions, it seemed at once to be a challenge and- a problem, and with gifts received I had a slide, a basket ball ring and a sandbox m a d e for the use of the neighboring children and invited them by letter to come to play at any time in the lower part of the yard’. Th e y came— they had come before— but n o w they come with more appreciation and they play from the m o m e n t schools close till dark. A n d they co m e to a children’s meeting held at the house— never less than 70, and at Christmas ISO. T h e yard is not as pretty as it was, nor does it look so well kept, but w e pray the lessons learned at the meeting m a y m a k e better citizens of them. A s a result of the meetings library hours for boys and girls separately have been arranged and they are getting help from books as well.

For fourteen years Miss Couch had a Children’s Meeting across the Bay, but it had been closed after being taken over by others. W i t h her help I was able to reopen that work. About thirty children greet us every

week and they hear the message and sing the songs with great interest. Once wh e n the house owner was ill w e could not use the room and it seemed best to give up the meeting rather than hold it outside in the cold, but the children protested and w e had the usual service standing in that small dooryard. ■ •

O n e of the most interesting features of coming to Nagasaki has been the welcome received in the little Mission church. M y experience has been very happy in that from the very first the people have m a d e use of m y home, myself and m y time. Ev e n though m y fingers are far from skilful either naturally or physically to perform well, a wedding, evangelistic services and the Sunday School Christmas program have called for help by organ and voice. In the week of prayer I was asked to lead one of the services in Japanese at the church and to have another at m y home, thus making m e feel a vital part of the church work. Both w o m a n ’s meet­ing and Y.W.C.A. have met with m e at m y h o m e and I have been asked to lead their services at one time and another. T h e y are a loyal band of Christians— most of them young— and w e can hope for great things from them. Jeane N oordhoff

K U R U M EEvangelistic Work

Little did I think at the beginning of 1933 that I should in the course of the year be called upon to give up m y w o r k in Kurume, a w o r k which it had'taken four years of hard struggle to build up, but such was the case w h e n a teacher was needed at Ferris Seminary and none could be sent out by the Board. But believing that G o d giveth the increase, I feel sure that these years have not been spent in vain.

Until July the average attendance of our five children’s meetings was exceptionally good, owing perhaps to the occasional picnics and the moving pictures on the Life of Christ that w e provided. T w o of the five have been continued by the Christians at whose homes they were conducted, and m a n y of the children are getting into the habit of attending the Church Sunday School; so w e feel that in time there will be results. It was m y privilege also to w o r k a little in connection with the Fukushima Sunday School, since the church there was without a pastor. O n e of m y helpers and I went there every Sunday afternoon, she to teach in the primary department and I to take a class of middle school girls. This class was continued by the n e w pastor after I left. T w o of these girls are already Christians and are asserting a good influence upon their classmates. '

It seemed too bad to have to give up m y medical and middle school students’ Bible classes, but it Is encouraging' that several of the members are keeping up their interest in Christianity. T w o of the medical students are teaching Sunday School in the K u r u m e Church now, and two others are faithfully attending church, while two others are n o w members of a Bible class in the Lutheran Church. In April several of the members of the middle school boys’ class entered higher schools in other places. It happened that three of them got into the same school that an older m e m ­ber had entered the previous year. He, being a Christian, introduced them into the church, the Y.M.C.A. and an English Bible class. This same boy has already led a sister-in-law to become a Christian and has interested his mother to the extent that she n o w attends church.

This year I have especially enjoyed m y w o r k with women. A n e w feature was the distributing of the K i n g d o m of G o d Wee k l y to some twenty of our neighbors, the result of which was an average attendance of fifteen w o m e n at the monthly meeting at our home. T h e members of our cooking

and Bible class for young w o m e n also came regularly. Several of them showed a keen interest in the teachings of Christ and are continuing their study even now. M y servant w h o always helped m e in teaching the cook­ing was herself baptized at Easter time. • T h e three Ladies’ Auxiliaries in the K u r u m e field have tried to do their bit in bettering their respective churches and communities. T h e chief aim and desire of all the w o m e n is to lead their non-Christian friends to Christ, and hence the societies are active and alive. T h e Hainuzuka auxiliary might almost be regarded as model in Japan. T h e attendance at their monthly meetings is almost always perfect; they help the sick and needy; they carry on a nursery for farmers’ children twice a year; they wor k toward making their church independent; and they increase their membership from year to year.

So G o d works through His children. It m a y be of interest to note here that a sister of the girl about w h o m I wrote in the article “Evening Light” has since become a Christian. Also that a middle school teacher of one of m y Bible classes, after he and his wife were baptized, was the means of bringing one of his co-workers to k n o w Christ. Th e n a young lad in the K u r u m e church, living in a rural district, led one of his friends to be baptized at Christmas time. A t this particular baptismal service were six others, all of w h o m had been led by their friends. Is it not true that w e plant but that G o d gives the increase? D ora- E ringa

OITAEvangelistic Work

Although the year started with five schools fbr children, w e n o w have but three. T h e Tuesday School held for six years in a matmakcr’s hom e was discontinued in June for two reasons, the main one being that the city started a n e w higher primary school in the outskirts of Oita in April. Most of our older boys and girls had to transfer to that school, which m a d e it impossible for them to return h o m e m u c h before dark. Since they could not come, most of the tiny brothers and sisters gradually dropped off too; so w e brought the remnant over to our house Friday School. O u r Saturday night class for older boys, also, automatically closed in March. Without the “gang leaders” w h o graduated a year ago the others got tired and stopped coming. O n e could hardly wonder that they had had enough of study, as they are in school till six o’clock.

These are the only bits of wo r k closed during the year. O u r Friday School at the house continues, though with smaller attendance due to the increasing opposition of the school teachers. O n Sunday afternoon the class for older girls continues with excellent attendance and interest. Little sisters come along, and a mother of three of the girls w h o attend told m e the day before Christmas that the youngest usually begins on W e d n e s ­day to ask, “Is it Sunday School today?” This little tot, not yet in school, always goes to her mother and tells her all the lesson story as soon as she gets home. For that class and the Friday group w e have been making simple jigsaw puzzles from the pictures on Beginners’ lesson leaflets sent out by a friend at home. Th e y love to do it while waiting for the lesson hour to come, as it is the fashion here to come about one o’clock for three o’clock Sunday School.

At the mill, the family at whose h o m e w e had the school moved to Tokyo; so w e had to find another place. W e were at once invited to come to another home, thus again bringing us the assurance that this is a piece of wor k from the Lord. Seven times have w e changed places and each time there has been no need to hunt for a place— it was prepared and waiting

for us. During the fall the movie outfit of K u r u m e Station has been in this prefecture; so on N o v e m b e r 22ncl, the eve of the Japanese Thanks­giving Day, w e showed pictures of the G o o d Samaritan, A b r a h a m and Isaac, Solomon’s Judgment, and the Life of Christ. T h e children had the thrill of their young lives.

T h e cooking class on the third M o n d a y of each month has continued and at each meeting w e have had a little service, often addressed by the pastor of our church.. Several times one or another has said, “It gives us a good feeling to hear a talk like that which w e can remember after­ward.” Practically all w h o n o w come are high class non-Christian w o m e n to w h o m w e might not otherwise get an opportunity to bring even this m u c h of the Gospel message. A class for various kinds of handwork has been kept up for young w o m e n with an increasing attendance. Since s u m ­mer w e have been working almost entirely in paint, which is proving very interesting. O n e ambitious young w o m a n even renovated her husband’s dingy necktie.

W e have had m a n y neighborhood meetings at our h o m e with an at­tendance varying from twenty to thirty-five. In the spring Rev. Y. Tono- mur a of T o k y o was in Kyushu and w e were very glad he could hold several meetings in our home. In the fall, in connection with the celebra­tion of the 40th anniversary of the founding of the Oita church. Miss T o m e g a w a came to Oita and she, too, gave us two very fine talks at neighborhood meetings.

This year is the fourth in which I have served as W . C. T. U. treas­urer, and the second M o n d a y means a W . C. T. U. meeting here. W e re­joice that w e were able last s u m m e r to rescue one more girl. She ran awa y to the Methodist church one Sunday morning, as the pastor was well k n o w n as a temperance worker. There w e kept her two days till it was safe to m o v e her to the h o m e of a Christian dentist. After about a week a m a n from her h o m e came and took her back by a circuitous route to avoid keepers’ agents w h o were watching for her. After her escape her picture was posted in sixty, places and on the tram, and at the railroad and boat landing m e n were watching constantly to apprehend her. W e also shared in a similar piece of wor k in Saga, which their little society could not finance alone. For funds for all such wor k w e depend on membership dues and on the sale of dolls to tourists coming to Beppu.

M a n y happy and I hope profitable hours have been spent with visitors w h o come to our h o m e and tell us of their troubles, their hopes, their fears, over a cup of tea. These visitors have increased somewhat since the Newspaper Evangelism office has, for reasons of economy, been moved into the missionary residence and w e are k n o w n to be more often at hom e than formerly. T h e playing of the church organ has again fallen to m y lot and a garden with m a n y flowers is convenient in helping to beautify the House of the Lord. It also plays a large part in breaking d o w n barriers in the neighborhood by bringing joy to those w h o are aged or shut in or have no garden plot of their own. H o w m a n y bulbs, seeds, seedlings, rose bushes or chrysanthemum roots have been helping to pave the w a y for Christian friendships would be hard to estimate.

A part of each week is spent not only in receiving guests but also in visiting the homes of our friends. These are of all sorts and conditions of women. O n e is a girl w h o m w e k n e w whe n she worked in a tailor shop next door to our first h o m e and w h o smiled at us each time w e passed her window. Since then she has worked in another shop from early d a w n to late at night, but w e have kept in touch with her and the other day she came here to show m e her baby and spent the afternoon telling

her hopes and plans for him. She is uneducated but has a sturdy inde­pendence and c o m m o n sense on which to build— the daughter of a farmer and married n o w to a tailor. Another is a Christian w h o never comes to church,— the unhappy wife of the cotton milh manager— college graduate, talented, a beautiful singer, perhaps more in need of help than the little tailoress in her humble, happy home. A third type is a w a y w a r d girl w h o has wandered far a w a y but who, so far, has always come back to us. She has just com e h o m e to Oita, married to her third husband, and came to see m e last week saying she just had to com e as everyone else would have nothing to do 'with her and she kne w she would find a welcome here. Having heard of her return w e sent her a card at N e w Year asking her to come and she came the next day. S o m e h o w I have an abiding faith that she will one day return to her Master to w h o m she led her two younger sisters in the days w h e n w e first kn e w her and w h e n she came to study the Bible with our Bible w o m a n ten years ago. And, of course, there are always the aged friends w h o m so few seem to remember, and the sick,— specially those suffering with tuberculosis, w h o m all avoid as if it were the plague.

W h e n w e were on furlough last time, w e were often asked whether w e thought these people were ever really converted, if they ever really- became Christians. I would like to answer that question by telling of an incident that happened in early December. I went one morning to visit a dear old lady, 79 years of age, w h o is kept in the house by the infirmities of age. H o w her face lighted up as she saw m e and exclaimed, “Your coming this morning is the Lord’s answer to m y prayer.” It seems that the preceding night she was unable to sleep, so finally sat up in her bed and prayed for us,— that w e might co m e soon to see her again, that our lives and health might be precious in the Lord’s sight, that the w o r k w e are attempting might be directed and blessed by the Master, that our dear ones left in America might be kept in health and strength till our return, that w e might increasingly be real messengers to this people of the love of G o d in Christ Jesus. Then, in the unflaltering faith that her Lord was near and had heard her prayer, she lay d o w n and slept peacefully till morning. I wonder h o w often those w h o doubted that these m e n and w o m e n are really becoming the Lord’s o w n have done that m u c h for us! W e go to comfort and cheer and help and come back from such a visit with re­newed hope and strength and the will to do our best to bring all those with w h o m w e have even a casual contact into a like Joy in the Lord.

Report for 1933B A S R A H

Evangelistic WorkThis department began the year poorer by the dismissal of one of the

two Bible W o m e n , but richer by the acquisition of Mrs. Gosselink, whose- co-operation in dealing with the crowd of “wild Arabs” of our Thursday club has been of the greatest value, and whose h o m e has m a d e one more centre of Christian friendliness, from which are built up the informal contacts that form such a' valuable background for our organized work. It has been a great joy to have the same type of w o r k resumed in Basrah City by Miss Ruth Jackson, w h o has also developed organized social work there with vigor and success. I have enjoyed extremely attending her mejlis occasionally and making calls together, often running across old friends w h o m I had not seen for years. It is impossible to de-limit the wo r k for w o m e n in “greater Basrah” ; w e are all of us associated in the minds of our friends as a unit, and though as a rule w e follow the lines of our wor k separately, so to reach more people, yet there is m u c h ad­vantage in the impact m a d e by informal co-operation.

I have the advantage, or disadvantage, of knowing some people well' in every part of town, as I began m y missionary career in Basrah City whe n I was principal of the Girls’ School in its early days and m a d e all m y first friends in that district. Subsequently I centralized in Ashar and have at all times been enlarging m y circle by getting acquainted with the mothers of school-boys, whose homes are widely scattered. A s a result I have a large unwieldy calling list and it is almost impossible to, keep up with it.

T h e poor, w h o m w e have always with us, received at the beginning of the cold weather the splendid w a r m garments and quilts which came out in the Guild boxes. O u r Thursday afternoon mejlis has been well attended in the winter, by poor and middle class women. N o w and then w e have “Mullayas” ( w o m e n Koran readers), one of w h o m is the trucu­lent type w h o enjoys arguing every point as w e read and explain the Gospel. H e r presence robs our little gathering of its tranquillity, but adds

interest anti keeps us from intellectual stagnation, and as she usually ends by agreeing heartily with the Christian point of view, the discussions are a distinct asset.

W e have had the great happiness of having with us at these meet­ings this year the wife of a convert, who, after having been fanatical and hostile for most of the nine years she has been married to him, has n o w been w o n to Christianity by her husband’s example and teaching and is eager to m a k e a public witness for Christ. She was under instruc­tion all s u m m e r with the Bible woman, and is to be baptized very soon. H e r first definite step toward conversion was a typically Oriental one: Christ appeared to her in a dream and reproached her tor being unwill­ing to accept him, and upon awaking, she told her husband that she re­pented for her hardness of heart and was n o w convinced that Jesus was the Savior of mankind.

Girls’ Club WorkThat the Thursday club for the poorer children of Ashar has be­

come an established institution is evident from the number of children w h o each fall, towards the end of the s u m m e r holidays, gather without invitation at the chapel the first Thursday after the return of the “Khatun.” A formal announcement as to the opening day is never necessary, for all s u m m e r long various missionaries are greeted by the children with the question, “H a s the Khatun returned?’’ “W h e n is the Khatun returning?” which to them is the beginning of another year of meetings. T h e littlegroup of girls, small boys, and babies, m a n y of them poorly clad anddirty, assembled near tbe Chapel door every Thursday morning, is getting to be a very familiar scene. T o hear their laughter, to note their pranks, their quibbles and their quarrels, one would conclude that w e have here a very normal group of youngsters; but to us, though normal, they arc a very difficult group. T h e y have all the attractive qualities, such as love for play, a joy in the surprising and new, a craving for attention and affection, plus the undesirable traits of dishonesty, disobedience, inatten­tiveness, and numerable others, all of which m a y be ascribed to their meager background and their lack of h o m e training and discipline. T h e dif­ficulty of our group is emphasized as our numbers increase, and for thatreason Mrs. V a n Ess and I have both given our time to the club this year.

T h e meetings last fall began with record attendances and continued so until the cold and rainy weather began, whe n the attendance gradually began to drop. Throughout the year the attendance varied from forty-five, the highest, to thirteen, the lowest. O u r meetings have been conducted along the lines of previous years. W e have opened with songs and hymns; there has been the telling and dramatization of Bible stories, sewing forthe older girls and occupation work for the smaller children. T h e Guildbox sewing bags with sewing materials and scissors have been m u c h apprec­iated. T h e scrap-books and toys have furnished an immeasurable amount of pleasure to the smaller children, too small to sew. T h e colored Christmas cards distributed weekly to each child have been taken h o m e and are n o w gracing the walls of m a n y a m u d hut.

For a few months last spring w e had a few of the older girls w h o were not responsible for baby , sisters or brothers come to m y mejlis for special lessons in sewing. I look back upon those mornings with a great deal of satisfaction. There was a greater opportunity for intensive work with these few, and the results not only in sewing but in the study hourwere most gratifying. W e are hoping that w e m a y be able to wor k upa similar class in the coming year.

A special effort was ma d e to visit the homes of the children w h o came . to us on Thursdays. In all these homes w e were cordially received and m a n y friendships were made. O u r insight into the background and family life of our children has led us to a better understanding of their prob­lems and needs.

Throughout the year I have had m a n y of the w o m e n w h o m I visited come to visit me. Most of them came on Tuesday afternoons, m y “at h o m e ” for m y Arab friends. During most of these visits there were op­portunities for reading portions from the Gospel and for talking to the w o m e n about Christ and His love for all.

Educational WorkBasrah Girls’ School— After the annual meeting last autumn w e faced

the year’s work with the realization that one period of our school’s exist­ence was ending, and ending not as w e had hoped and anticipated whe nour splendid building was given to us so short a time ago. While w eheartily agree that economy demanded a school of fewer than eight grades, it was discouraging to contemplate curtailment whe n it meant the loss of our older girls and most of the younger ones w h o are likely to stay in school for a number of years. W e have learned to love them during our years of association- with them, and in the case of m a n y w e were just beginning to see the results of m a n y months of foundation laying, in the realm of the mind if not of the spirit. K n o w i n g that their time with us would be short, w e tried to use the school hours, particularly those assigned to Bible study, to the best advantage, but w e cannot report any marked interest in the Christian message on the part of non-Christian pupils.

T h e subjects taught during the year were those usually found in an eight grade school, and in handwork the girls learned embroidery of vari­ous kinds, hemstitching, tatting, knitting, crotcheting and raffia work, in addition to plain sewing. T h e poor girls are being taught to m a k e their o w n dresses, and some of the big girls are happily sewing for those w h o have not yet reached the dressmaking stage. There are a number w h o show promise, but others of this year’s vintage seem as little at h o m e with a needle as with a bar of soap.

T h e playground equipment affords daily pleasure to those lucky enough to get there first, and the older girls and some of the teachers enjoy the badminton court and are becoming enthusiastic players. Several of those w h o were obliged by our change in policy to attend the Government School this year come back to play once a week, and thus w e continue our contacts with them.

For the sake of good w o r k and right spirit a m o n g the teachers w e did not announce the intended change until June, and then followed 'days of questioning and gloom. T h e teachers whose contracts were not renewed wondered why- they were the ones chosen for dismissal, the older girls were disconsolate at the thought of a strange school, and one or two w h o have .been with us long enough to prepare for college thought they should receive a diploma as a final expression of good will!

Thus the school closed at the end of June on a note of regret, and its character 'has almost completely changed since the opening in October. T h e n e w girls are of a very different type and some of them have very, little to recommend them as pupils except their need. Their watchword seems to be revolt against authority, unless said authority be accompanied by a big stick. M a n y were in Ruth Jackson’s sewing classes last year, but

one morning’s wo r k a week whe n they had a definite job in hand was less of a strain on their unruly spirits than the regular routine of school. If there were a larger number of our former pupils of the better class in attendance, the n e w ones might learn from the force of example, but except for four girls in the fourth grade w e have none w h o can do m u c h to influence them. T h e y sorely need the discipline that school gives, and by the time another report is due w e hope that the school will me a n more to them than a place with a lot of tiresome rules that were only m a d e to be broken.

School Club Work— The wor k of starting a social center in our Girls’ School compound and of extending the influence of the school in Basrah City has been met with friendly interest and cooperation by our Mos l e m friends.

T h e mothers of our school girls m u c h appreciated the calls that were ma d e on them, while the children themselves were delighted to be the guides on each first visit and proud to offer the hospitality of their homes. These visits brought other acquaintances in each neighborhood, and m a n y n e w friendships were formed. I found the w o m e n pleased to be invited to return m y calls and to see our school and playground.. Friday afternoon was fixed as m y regular at h o m e day w h e n m y friends k n e w I would be sitting and that they would meet m y sister w h e n school was out. S o m e ­

times only a very few came and I had opportunities for intimate talks. Usually there were several groups and frequently the “mejlis” was crowded.

A t Christmas time I entertained informally the mothers of school children with w h o m I had then become acquainted. A group of kinder­garten tots came over to recite parts of their Christmas program and the Christmas story.

In order to reach more children I started sewing clubs and soon had three different groups. Each group met once a week in m y mejlis for the entire morning. Their recess they had with the school children on the playground but in the rest of the morning the program consisted only of Bible stories and sewing. A whole morning seemed a long session for this, but they were never willing to leave and always begged to come back in the afternoon. In their w o r k they m a d e good progress. After eight lessons a child was given a doll which she had to keep here in her bag which she had made. After she had m a d e a complete outfit of clothes for the doll she was allowed to take it h o m e as a guest for one week. Then she made bedding for it. In August w h e n their vacation began they went h o m e proudly carrying their dolls and all they had m a d e for them. T h e Bible stories, illustrated by picture rolls, soon caught the girls’ interest and m a n y of them learned a good m a n y of the stories.

Probably the greatest value of these clubs lies in the long hours of friendly comradeship, in the discipline of working together, In the m a n y opportunities for informal lessons in courtesy, kindness and helpfulness to one another as well as lessons on cleanliness, health and . care of babies. Wit h the older girls there have been conversations about religion, family life and various personal matters which have afforded opportunities for quiet talks about Christ’s teachings and G o d ’s purpose for our lives.

There were 62 children in the three clubs. O n e group of 20 was composed entirely of village girls, mostly from Subkhaiya. Both because of the long distance from their homes and the need for them to go to work- very young these will not enter school. T h e other two groups of girls were from the great lower and middle class of society. These I hoped to win for school, where by daily contact w e have greater opportunity of

influencing their lives for good: Soon six of m y girls were enrolled inschool. Also the h o m e visiting and receiving of callers aroused the interest of mothers and brought quite .an increase of pupils. Over 30 n e w pupils were received during six weeks, till the school was not able to absorb any more in the lower grades so late in the school year.

M a n y of the school girls asked to join the clubs during the summer; so m y sister and I had a club for them for six weeks. The y had as their project a patchwork bed-spread, each square having an embroidered design. T h e y watched the spread g r o w and be completed with the greatest enthusiasm. T o their program were added singing and a period of organized play. Thirty-five girls attended the club.

This fall it is the greatest pleasure to see 13 more club girls enrolled in the school. T w o clubs are started and a third will be as soon as the village girls return from the date camps. I hope to reach larger numbers of younger girls w h o might eventually become school members and also to gather a circle of older girls whose short school life is already finished.

Evangelistic WorkT h e Kuwait w o m e n continue as friendly as ever and hardly a day

•goes by without a knock at m y door. 'Three mornings a week are spent in giving lessons in reading and

writing to a young girl w h o has been coming for about five years and is as eager to learn as she ever was. Not long ago a point in the story of Joseph came up and I read her the portion in Genesis. After w e had finished she said she would like to take the book home. It was the whole Bible and has not been returned yet. This s u m m e r she began bringing her sister, w h o is a bright girl and has the advantage of already knowing h o w to read. ,

Just lately a little girl whose mother has been a friend for a number of years has started coming two mornings a wee k to learn to write. She has graduated from the K o r a n school, and so writing will be easy for her. H e r father goes off on long sea voyages. Before he left a few weeks ago, he said it was very hard to be a w a y so long without any news from his family. H e wished that his little girl w h o k n e w h o w to read could also learn to write so that she could send him a letter from time to time. H e suggested asking m e to teach the child; so w e have begun, and last week a letter was sent off written by his little daughter.

There are the usual callers. W o m e n w h o stop in to see m e on their w a y to or from the hospital and other callers w h o com e especially to see me. T h e afternoon is used for calling on m y friends in their houses. T h e unwise affair in Egypt last spring, w h e n a missionary laid hands on a young M o s l e m girl because she was disobedient, was m a d e the most of in the Arabic newspapers. T h e missionary was reported to have illtreated her to force her to become a Christian and be baptized. U n f o r ­tunately most of the Kuwait reading public thinks that because an incident is reported in the newspaper therefore it must be true.

T h e depression is a very real condition in Kuwait. It is very hard to turn a w a y the poor w h o come to us, but w e feel that the Moslems must take care of their o w n poor. W e are always ready to give them medical help.

It has been m y privilege to conduct dispensary prayers two mornings a week. There have been crowds to talk to and they have been very attentive and interested. (Mrs. Stanley) B essie A.'M ylrea

“Depression” has become the household word of the world, but in Bahrain w e do not use the word, for w e have reason to be grateful to G o d for His unlimited kindness to us. There is no depression of church, school or mejlis attendances, or patients in the hospitals, or friendships’, loyalties or work! ’

There were almost as m a n y w o m e n as m e n at our Sunday services. O u r chapel is crowded every Sunday. . •

Hospital evangelism was carried on in various ways with gratifying results. Clinic prayers were held every morning, followed by visiting and reading to the in-patients. Staff prayers were held by Mrs. V a n Peursem and the thought she gave them was again given by Urn Mirriam in Persian to the m a n y Persian w o m e n w h o came. In the afternoon the in-patients were again visited and m a n y lasting friendships were formed, especially when a patient is in the hospital for a long time. I wrote last year that Urn Mirriam was having Bible lessons and that she had asked for baptism. It was our joy to see her baptized on Easter Sunday. She makes a wonderful confession and is so happy in her n e w faith. She takes care of the orphan babies w e have at the hospital and is a.willing worker. T h e Sunday following her baptism her blind son A bood and her baby Jusef were baptized at a special Children’s service. A b o o d has been sent by the station to a blind school in Palestine.

T h e Thursday day at h o m e ’ was well attended. In the morning the lame, the halt, the blind came— from 30 to 40 each Thursday. Their course in Bible instruction was readings from the Old and N e w Testaments, showing the prophecies and h o w they were fulfilled. In the afternoon the better class Ar a b and other friends came, for the w o m e n k n o w they can always find us in that day. T h e grating, rasping records of the so-called Arab music on the gramaphone were a great attraction.. O n account of there being only one full-time teacher besides Mrs. D a m e in the Girls’ School, with over 50 girls in daily attendance, it was m y privilege to have the older girls in Bible and English. Having had them several years in Bible it was gratifying to see h o w m u c h they understood of Christianity. O n e of the girls often said, “W h a t I have in m y heart no one can take from me.” Others would say, “W e are bound so tightly by our families that if. w e said what w e believe w e would be kept home.” Another Mos l e m girl said one day, “I asked m y grandfather w h y the Koran doesn’t teach us to love everyone as the Bible does. H e said that he didn’t k n o w but that I had better not read the Bible too m u c h or ask too m a n y questions or I’d become a Christian, too.” W e can only pray that ways w e k n o w not of m a y open so that these girls m a y come out openly. Mrs. D a m e has had these girls under her influence for m a n y years and I’m sure that, even if she doesn’t see m a n y open confessions, she has left with them impressions that will never be erased.

Personally, I think the overwhelming cut w e received in appropriations has been a blessing in that it has shown us w h o were friends and w h o were loyal. T h e w a y the native helpers responded whe n they heard about it w a r m e d our hearts. T h e y said, “Whatever happens to you happens to us, for w e are one with you.” W e are called upon in these times to stretch every nerve to win the battle and w e are certainly having m a n y oppor­tunities. W e need the strength of twenty to carry on as w e would like to, and the days are far too short for what w e plan to do.

Educational Work • • • ■A n epidemic of measles struck the school in mid-winter and played

havoc with the attendance record, but the average membership for the year was 60 and the average attendance at a session 45, both figures higher than last year. However, our limit is being reached, since w e possess only 54 desks, and in January when our membership rose to its peak of 75, just before the measles began, w e were hard put to it to k n o w h o w to accommodate the extra pupils. W e must reiterate in this year’s report: “W e are still overcrowded; w e long for additional class­room space.” .

W e began the year with a faculty of four— Mrs. Hakken, Mrs. Dame, Miss Sarah H a n n a and the Anglo-Indian girl mentioned in last year’s report. But in January, with reduced appropriations, w e were forced to let the Anglo-Indian teacher go as an economy measure, with consequent loss in English and Sewing classes. O u r one sixth grade pupil was mad e a “pupil-teacher” and was given a few classes to teach when she had no lessons, and with this arangement w e had to be content.

T h e curriculum remained the same as in other years: namely, read­ing, writing, arithmetic, spelling, grammar, dictation, composition, geog­raphy, science, hygiene, community life, poetry and Bible in Arabic; English as a foreign language; music, dramatics, sewing, construction, drawing, physical culture and tennis. O n e does not need to go in for Jigsaw puzzles w h e n one must m a k e out schedules for seven classes with such a wide curriculum and such a limited faculty and yet fit in everything!

T h e school enjoyed its annual Christmas party and the regular picnic in June and w e had the second Last-Day Ice C r e a m Party to finish off the year, wh e n the dolls were distributed as rewards for the year’s attendance. At this party, too, our first real graduate was given her diploma. It was a happy m o m e n t for both Mudira (Principal) and pupil, an epochal heart­felt occasion even though w e had no special “graduation exercises.”

W e omitted our usual public program but held a Sewing Exhibit for . specially invited guests at which the sewing of the girls from third grade up was displayed. M a n y were the expressions of surprise, delight, approval and appreciation of the work, which featured a wide variety of articles and included both hand and machine sewing of m a n y types. T h e girls felt that the Exhibit would not be complete without a program and came to m e to ask if they might not have one. I agreed, so they went ahead by them­selves and mad e out a nice little program of songs, poems, etc. that they knew. T h e y carried it out in fine style, too, before the guests.

A n event of importance in Bahrain this past year was the “coronation” of Sheikh Hamid, w h o came to full authority as Ruler of the islands after the death of his father the venerable Sheikh Isa, w h o had ruled for fifty years. A three days celebration marked the occasion of the “coronation” and the public was enthusiastic in its observance. T h e girls of the school also caught the spirit of the general rejoicing and were very busy for some days making flags to decorate for the occasion. W e also improvised a verse for “Mahabet el O w t a n ” (“M y country, ‘tis of thee”) asking for a blessing and long life for the n e w ruler. This song w e sing in lieu of a Bahrain national anthem.

T h e Club held regular meetings all the school year and during summ e r vacation in the absence of the school faculty, which shows that the purpose of founding the club to develop personality, initiative and self-reliance has been largely realized. T h e Club members have worked out and adopted a constitution and by-laws this year. H o w w e wish w e had a clubroom! T h e meetings have been held in the crowded schoolroom after school hours.

O u r needs are m a n y — for patience that w e get not irritated w h e n over­crowding does things to our nerves; for wisdom in making one rupee do where three did inadequately formerly; for skill in adjusting time and pupils to program and opportunities; for strength that w e fail not nor get weary in well doing; for courage that w e shall win through this and all other depressions; for faith that shall unwaveringly uphold us, for since " G o d ’s in His heaven, all’s right (must be) with the world.”

M U S C A TEvangelistic W o r k

T h e first item in this report is praise to our Heavenly Father for His blessings to us in physical things. This is always fitting and incumbent, but more particularly so this year because of the very severe smallpox scourge that has visited us, which was especially severe in Muscat. W e were all spared from this scourge and from death. T h e promises in Psalm 91 were literally fulfilled to all of our small Christian group. There was little w e could do for the stricken besides inquiring after them, expressing our sympathies, condoling with the bereaved, and occasionally helping in a more practical way. T h e people have their o w n very set ideas as to h o w the patients should be treated and nursed, and even more so and of more importance to themselves, their set notions about the measures which must be taken to appease the spirits that bring the smallpox and to ward off these same spirits. While w e cannot resist trying to show them the need of segregation, clean nursing, quarantine and so on, from their point of view it seems to be “Y a naseeb” (chance). Under the conditions in which they live, especially their extreme poverty, there really seems muc h reason for them to think that it is a matter of fate. It will take m u c h more thought, time, education and assistance, financially and otherwise, than is n o w given to fighting and controlling this disease or any other epidemic before w e can expect any intelligent ideas about it all. W e pray that w e m a y be spared another visitation like this one, and that m a n y of those w h o have gone through suffering and have experienced losses m a y so m e h o w be. led, through these hard experiences, to k n o w the Lord.

T h e Sunday School w o r k begins the we e k and also ends it. In numbers reached, in time and effort put into it as compared with any other one feature of the w o r k and in the promise that it holds, this w o r k ranks first. Last year 161 pupils were enrolled; this year, 254. T h e arrival of Mrs. Harrison increased the teaching force, and with her help and coopera­tion and that given by others, it was possible to organize into classes, of which there were six. It is encouraging to note that a m o n g the pupils that have been with us the longest there is increasing reverence during prayer, especially a m o n g the boys. In m a n y little ways it has been evident that these boys and girls are influenced.

In the early spring w e had two afternoons of sports, held at Kelbu Beach, one for boys and one for the girls. Dr. Harrison and Mr. Dykstra helped m e with the boys: without that help it would have been very diffi­cult to carry out the program. T h e afternoon for the girls was not quite so successful as that for the boys, because so m a n y of the older girls were not allowed to be present, but even so there were enough there to m a k e it a success.

During the smallpox epidemic m a n y of the children have died, m a n y

others have lost the sight of an eye, and the star pupil of the class of smaller boys has become totally blind. O n e of the saddest sights I have seen is that of this eager, bright little fellow n o w sitting in his house with bowed head, so silent and with such a haunted, dazed look on that once bright face. W e can only pray that the Light of life m a y come into his heart and m a k e true light within.

After the Sunday morning service in our chapel I have a Bible lesson with the women. This class varies in numbers according to church attend­ance. O n M o n d a y comes first of all a period of one hour and a half of guV1T^ *essons in English to five boys. W i t h no school in Muscat except the K o r a n school there is both a need and a desire for the kind of school w e could provide, but it would m e a n that the evangelistic w o r k a m o n g the w o m e n could not be done. During this lesson or immediately after it I go to the W o m e n ’s Hospital and give the daily Bible lesson in the clinic. Another feature of every M o n d a y forenoon was the sewing class for girls the first M o n d a y of each month being kept for games. Part of each Tuesday forenoon was devoted to four w o m e n of the Palace. Every Wednesday forenoon was “A t h o m e ” for w o m e n visitors. This year there has been an improvement over last year in the reception the visitors have given to Bible reading and prayer.

Thursday of each week has been reserved for w o r k outside of Muscat alternately to Matrah and to the Batinah in company with the medical staff of the Matrah hospital. T h e w o m e n of Matrah continue to be m u c h more open and receptive to our message than those in Muscat. O u r fort­nightly visits in company with the Matrah medical staff were a very promising piece of work. Going together, as Mrs. Harrison and I did m a d e these visits more acceptable and more effective. W h e n vaccination was in demand there were crowded days; otherwise w e cannot report great gatherings anywhere.

O n Friday at noon comes a Bible lesson with a group of women. This began in a small w a y with only three besides myself. Later others joined us, and n o w w e number from ten to twelve. Breaking bread together in this w a y has seemed to m e to be a good thing. Arabs m a k e m u c h of eating salt together, and while w e do not need to do this to ensure safety for ourselves it does seem to be an added evidence of real fellowship with them. When e v e r anyone has shown a desire to be with us for the lesson hour I have invited her to come and join us in this meal also. Wit h fish and dates so cheap, a meal for us all is really quite inexpensive; at present it is about one rupee for a meal for from ten to twelve people.’

Afternoons are reserved for visiting in the homes in Muscat. A direct evangelistic message often gets a cold reception, but the opportunities to bring the message indirectly are many, and in this w a y it is a great help to be able to quote Scripture passages and hymns. A twelve day trip to Quraiyat was m a d e with Nurse Mary, w h o took care of the medical side of the work. W e secured a very suitable house to live in and to carry on our work. The w o m e n were very friendly and w e were besieged with requests to come again.

A M A R A HEvangelistic Work

There is a great deal of satisfaction in knowing that no money is needed w h e n the w o m a n evangelist goes from hut to hut, from h o m e to home, from friend to friend with her message of the love of Christ for them. A n d yet to relieve the want, poverty, and suffering found in these

homes requires far more money than is available. Intensive calling was done between the months of January and July, and m a n y callers wer received in our home. Private instruction was continued with four former pupils three of them in reading as well as in Bible instruction.

T h e leper women, w h o have increased to thirteen, have been an interesting and appreciative crowd to wo r k with. O n e m 0 r n ‘"8 » had prayers together. N o w , since they no longer come to our regular weekly prayer meeting for women, w e have increased morning prayers with them to three times a week. It is with joy w e note the hunger of one o them particularly for the truth and pray that her prayers for light and guidance m a y be answered. A few of the leper w o m e n w h o were able and a couple of other poor w o m e n spun wool for abbas again thisjear for themselves and for other unfortunates. T h e leper w o m e n are all provided with food and clothing as they need, and m a n y other poor werehelped throughout the year. . , , •

T h e number of w o m e n attending the Sunday morning church services has increased noticeably. T h e Wednesday weekly prayer-meetings were also well attended, and the class w h o come are the poor and needy, servants and families of some servants and private pupils. I was so touched whet the two Sabean pupils of their o w n accord began to offer simple heart prayers at our prayer meetings. . .

In January one class of former pupils was started in sewing. e hour of sewing was preceded by a Bible lesson, singing and m e m o r y verses. S o m e of the needy girls m a d e their o w n gowns. T h e newer pupils were Started in first stitches, and m y two Sabean pupils helped m e with them

. T h e class increased to thirty in number, and this coming year I a planning to divide them into two classes to m a k e wo r k more efficient Before m y going to India the children enjoyed a picnic in the garden and tennis court. Th e y entered into the games with zest and were well l.eha\ec and polite throughout the whole afternoon.

T h e seed has been sown whe n opportunities offered and m oppor- tunit e sought. W e are grateful for the open mind of some and w e prayS"f,?e ,0„„ ..ke - * • ' ■ • T ' r w " J c l t o r K

emphasis on Thursdays, the “free” day for the poor. This arrangeme t continues to draw large crowds to the hospital throughout the year but S c u l a r l v during the s u m m e r months. Through Miss Button^ untiring efforts the crowds in the waiting room have become orderly, though still noisy During the hot weather it was not unusual to have 200 patients waiting in line before ten o’clock. T h e total attendance of w o m e n patients during^the year was 21.139. Approximately eight out of every nine were poor patients and were seen by the doctor free of charge.

Leper Work for Women. Last year w e reported that a plot of groun had been rented for organized leper work. A m o n g * e epers w h o were being treated at that time were two w o m e n living in Mission-built hut= near tbe hospital. After the n e w “Colony” was ready they were moved and became the first occupants of the n e w leper huts. A s time went o more lepers began to appear, and whe n the original huts were all filled additional ones were built. At the present time seventeen w o m e n are

receiving leprosy treatment, fourteen of w h o m are living in the Colony. During the year a total of thirty-six w o m e n lepers received treatment. A s a rule it is not difficult to persuade patients to stay; in fact, not a few of them, having heard of the Colony, came with the request that a ho m e

• and living be provided for them. O u r prayer is that these lepers m a y be drawn to Christ, w h o was especially tender and compassionate toward m e n and w o m e n afflicted with this disease, and that through H i m they m a y receive cleansing within and without.

Obstetrical Work— This work has been growing steadily, as is shown by the following number of deliveries each year for the past four years: 1930 1; 1931 18; 1932— 37; 1933— 80. During this past year it hasbeen gratifying to see that more and more w o m e n are breaking a w a y from their slavery to superstition and custom. Their confidence in our care is growing, as is also their realization of the importance of cleanliness. W h e n ­ever w e can, w e take w o m e n upstairs to see the hospital delivery-room and explain to them the use and benefits of all the equipment. T h e little white baby crib never fails to elicit from them exclamations of surprise and delight. Sixteen of the eighty deliveries this year were in the hospital. W e tried to get m a n y of the others to come; sometimes fear of the' u n known kept them back, but often w e were called too late to ma k e transfer of the patient safe or advisable, even with the car at the door. S o m e of the deliveries took place in a most shocking environment. M a t huts with m u d floors at best are not clean and in most of them the occu­pants, h u m a n and otherwise, add m a n y other possible sources of infection. But w e carry all our equipment with us and give the mothers and babies the best care w e can. W e have been rewarded by a 1 0 0 % record of uneventful recovery of all the mothers delivered in such environment. Several mothers have come to us during the year for prenatal care. W e also have had a pamphlet printed in Arabic on prenatal care, which w e have been distributing a m o n g the w o m e n of the better classes, but those w h o can read are pitifully few.

The Sunday School— This is the third year that the children have gathered in the hospital waiting-room each Sunday morning. T h e class includes 64 Moslem children and 20 Sabean girls. There are some irregu­larly attending, but most of the children -have come throughout the year without being lured by presents of any sort except m u c h needed clothing at Christmas time. Their conduct in the school has improved marvelously. Considering their behavior in the streets and in their homes and their custom of giving vent to their emotions on all occasions, one wonders that they are able to sit quiet and attentive during the Sunday School period. But they 'do, and they always k n o w whe n Sunday comes. These children are of the very poorest in Amarah, and in the eyes of the town Ara b they are the scum of the earth. But to us is given the privilege of i(preaching the gospel” to them, and to those w h o look d o w n upon them w e would say, “Take heed that ye despise not one of those little ones,” for it was one of the little ones such as these that Christ took into His arms, and lovingly blessing him. set him in their midst as a living, parable, saying, “O f such is the K i n g d o m of Heaven.” Cornelia D alenberg

B A G H D A DAmerican School for Girls

O u r Girls’ School has as usual occupied the greater part of m y time and thought. Seven or eight hours a day has been spent in the school building during the nine months of the school year, most of that time spent in teaching. Then I was busy four hours a day three days a week during

eight weeks of s u m m e r school. T h e older school girls m a d e that project possible. English lessons given to M o s l e m w o m e n took part of each Satur­day morning and occasionally an hour after school for five months of the year. A n d our Annual Meeting took a few days of time in July.

T h e teachers, w h o are responsible for any efficiency our school m a y have, accepted cuts in salary and additional wo r k because of reduction in staff, without any murmuring. T w o of our teachers w h o have been with us for a number of years are engaged to be married. T h e y m a y be very difficult to replace, especially the one in charge of the Junior Hi g h School.

T h e question m a y be raised as to the effect of disturbed conditions in Iraq upon the school. O f pupils already in the school the loss has been slight. But it seems to be the case that parents w h o were considering sending their daughters to us this year were influenced against it by the strong nationalistic feelings mixed somewhat with anti-foreign and anti-. Christian feelings aroused by the Assyrian uprising.

W h a t has given us no little concern is that for the first time in the history of the school there has been racial antagonism, the expression of which resulted in several Jewesses’ leaving school. An'over-sensitiveness on the part of the Jews and a bias against them aroused by sympathy with Arabs in Palestine, w h o are thought by m a n y here not to be getting a square deal was at the bottom of the trouble. Intolerance has.ever been one of the greatest enemies of Christianity and one of the greatest enemies within it, and w e had hoped to keep that out of our school.

G o d grant that w e m a y more fully interpret to our girls the Christ w h o came to bring peace and good-will to them and to all mankind. T h e y often seem truly hungry for the Bread of Life. Pray that they m a y accept H i m w h o so freely offers Himself to them that they need never more hunger or thirst.

A N N U A L REPORTS For the Year Ending May, 1934

C O R R E S P O N D I N G S E C R E T A R YIt is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord; therefore this Annual

Report shall be not a dirge of depression but a paean of praise.There have been few changes in the personnel of the Board. Mrs.

F. S. Wilson and Mrs. George C. DeBevoise have withdrawn for con­scientious reasons, feeling that they cannot give due time to the work. Mrs. George Somerville, of Bronxville, and Mrs. M . Stephen James of First Church, Albany, have been elected to Board membership. Changes in the Classical Committee are the addition of Mrs. P. Keyser of Sixth Reformed Church, Paterson, for the Holland Churches of the Classis of Passaic and the withdrawal of Mrs. R a y m o n d Lubbers from Central Illinois because of removal from the Classis.

• A t this Annual Meeting w e honor-with sincere and tender affection Miss Olivia H. Lawrence, whose forty-eight years of concentrated devotion to the Board and the K i n g d o m are crowned today by promotion to an Honorary Secretaryship, the first in the history of the Board. Successively as Record­ing Secretary, Secretary for Japan, Corresponding Secretary, Editorial and Educational Secretary of the W o m a n ’s Board of Foreign Missions, no n a m e has been more widely k n o w n in the Reformed Church and mission fields, no service at the h o m e base more widely recognized within and without the denomination. It is Miss Lawrence’s editorial skill which, with the co-operation of the missionaries, has produced from year to year the attractive and valuable leaflets for which our Board has an interdenominational reputation. H e r counsel of experience has often been more influential than even her fellow Board-members realized; her contri­bution to interdenominational committees such as the Northfield Committee, the Committee on Christian Literature, the Federation of W o m e n ’s Boards,' the United Study Committee, has been of exceptional and recognized value.

W e give thanks for n e w helpers in ten n e w W o m e n ’s Auxiliaries :T h e Lydian Society of Ebenezer Church, Morrison, 111.T h e W o m e n ’s League of Fourth Church, Holland, Mich.T h e Far and Near Society of Fourth Church, Kalamazoo.T h e Missionary Aid of Martin, Mich.T h e Ladies’ Aid of Forest H o m e , Muskegon.T h e Dutch Daughters of Second Church, N e w Brunswick.T h e Mizpah Guild of Central Church, Sioux Center, Iowa.T h e W o m e n ’s Missionary Society of Racine, Wis.T h e W o m e n ’s Society of Huguenot Park, Staten Island.T h e W o m e n ’s Society of Locust Valley, L o n g Island,

and for Y o u n g W o m e n ’s Societies come of age and accepting direct affilia­tion with the W o m e n ’s Boards:

T o these younger w o m e n w e give a cordial welcome as they bring over mto the larger group of W o m e n ’s Societies their freshness of spirit and

the education and training that they have been recennng through the Young W o m e n ’s Department, bor this increasing group . , .Boards hope to furnish in the near future programs and plans suited to their interests and needs.

W e give thanks for those older societies, East and West, that for half a century have served the w o m e n and children of other lands and ha this yea/ celebrated their Golden Anniversaries: for Oostburg, G ‘bbsville, First Albany, Pompton, First Amsterdam, Cohoes, L n e "^llle’ ^ J town, and others that have not been reported to us. T h e W o m e n s M s sionary Society of the First Church of Albany after completing >ts 50th year, became merged with all the other W o m e n s Societies of the Church in “T h e W o m a n ’s Guild.”

W e are grateful for the cultivation of the h o m e church by furlougied missionaries and Board Members. In this year of economy in P ^ l ^ t i o n s our w o m e n speakers, though few in number, have made 287 addresses n the eastern churches alone; doubtless the western record would doublethis number. . _

In the India "Story of the Year” are m a n y new signatures. Mrs. Pakyanadan, Mrs. Ponnuraj, Miss Savarirayan and others. W e welcome - the n e w correspondents and are grateful for their understanding sympathy in these troublous times. W e are grateful, too, for the desire of the church members abroad to help in this financial stress. Miss Noordyk told us of lepers in a hospital in India w h o proposed giving up a day s food to send m oney to the poor in America. Miss Lillian Picken of the Congrega lonal Board, addressing our Birthday meeting in January, stirred the audience with stories of sacrifices mad e by Christians and Hindus in W e s t India to send money to the Christian people of America w h o were too poor to carry on their mission work. Prayers for the Boards and the Church in the United States are mentioned in m a n y reports and letters from those w h o have been wont to ask our prayers for their work.

O n the Mission Field changes of personnel are due to various causes— economy, health or the natural course of furloughs and retirements. Mis­sionaries, though hard hit by cuts in salaries and meagre provision for their work, are loath to come h o m e even on regular furlough, for fear they m a y not be sent back, but health requirements and the necessary rotation of

' workers have brought to America Mrs. D e Wolfe, Mrs. Farrar, Mrs. Hoekje and Mrs. V a n Ess. Mrs. Veenschoten and Mrs. Poppen are back in China; Mrs. Korteling is already busy to capacity with patients in Punganur. Miss Noordyk has returned to the hospital and training-school in Ranipettai, releasing Miss Matthews, short term substitute during her absence, w h o has. returned to America. Miss Bleakney, nearing completion of her short term in the A m o y Girls’ School, plans to return to America in June even though the Chinese have offered to pay her salary for a year if she will remain.

Still straining upon the leash, awaiting either medical or financial authorization to return to the field are Dr. Gibbons, Miss Vander Linden, the Pennings, D e Jongs, D e Bruins, Laugs and Veldmans. It is important that the Church understand that a pledge of salary is not sufficient guarantee to send a missionary rejoicing on her way. There are m a n y other costs of “maintenance” to be met: travel, outfit, language teachers, conveyance allowance, taxis, medical and vacation allowances, etc. For this reason all supporters of missionaries have been requested to maintain their salary payments at the normal rate even though for the present the missionary receives less than the full amount.S Mrs. Renskers, Miss Conklin, Dr. Barny and Miss Evelyn Oilmans will not return to the field, but have been doing good service for the mission

cause here at home. Miss Conklin has spent a busy winter in Florida, traveling throughout the state in the “Florida Chain” of Missions and teaching mission study classes as an aftermath. ■

Release from active service has been granted to two third-generation members of the Scudder family and their wives. Dr. and Mrs. Lewis R. Scudder have become emeritus. Their contribution to the life of India cannot be reckoned in terms of years, or dollars, or mileage or even of souls reborn or Christian leaders trained and set at w o r k : their spiritual influence is written in the lives of Indian m e n and w o m e n and communities, their Line a D a y is a part of the records of the K i n g d o m of Heaven. Mr. and Mrs. H e n r y J. Scudder, by their o w n will and suggestion, set forward the date of their retirement, assuming emeritus status in order that the balance of their salary might bring a younger missionary family back to India.

Miss K. M . Talmage, after celebrating her 80th birthday and the 60th Anniversary of her arrival in China, has resigned her position as head of the A m o y W o m e n ’s School to Miss Lily Duryee, for whose mother the school is named— the Charlotte Duryee W o m e n ’s Bible School. T h e Rotary Club of A m o y , meeting on Miss Talmage's birthday, passed a resolution of appreciation of her long service to China.

Candidates for positions too long vacant— young w o m e n as consecrated, as well qualified, as thoroughly trained as any w e have sent out in the past— await the word of the Church to go. Temporary provision for two candidates has come in such unanticipated ways that w e gratefully ac­knowledge it as indubitable answer to specific prayer. T h e Standard Oil C o m p a n y of California provides for Miss Henrietta Oudemool, the High Clerc School at Kodai Kanal for Miss Martha Vanderberg until such time as they shall be transferred to full time work in the Arabian and Arcot Missions. Meantime w e must be “watching” in prayer for their later means of support.

T h e W o m a n ’s Board Budget for 1933-34 was based on the actual receipts for 1932-33.

T h e Treasurer reports:Total Receipts from all sources, available for this Budget of $119 786.—

$103,301 as against $115,637 last year. ’Delayed remittances, due 1932-33. but not received until after the close

of the year— $3,643.50.J^st year our expected contribution to Synod’s Board’s Budget lacked

$14,559. This year it lacks $12,250.A fine effort to reduce last year’s deficit was m a d e by the w o m e n of

(tie Church at the suggestion’ of Mrs. David R. Evans of Somerville, N. J. I he sale of S u m m e r “First Fruits” in the form of jams and jellies, the redemption of old gold and jewelry, and various other devices netted $3,095.55 for the deficit fund. O n e Society, unable to contribute in money sent a beautiful crocheted bed-spread which brought in $25. For such resolution and loyalty w e give thanks.

Additional cause for gratitude is found in two gift:

......... 500.00(For fuller details see Treasurer’s statement on last pages of report.) That the Church m a y understand in some degree h o w the diminution

of funds has affected mission w o r k w e cite a few of the economies in India.

Missionaries’ salaries have been reduced Twenty-seven BibleW o m e n have been dismissed, others reduced to half pay. Boarding-schools have cut d o w n their staffs and turned pupils away. Hindu Girls’ Schools are discontinued unless they can support themselves by fees and Government grants. T w o dispensaries are closed. Village evangelistic touring is curtailed.

In these emergencies a definite cause for thanksgiving is the fine spirit of our missionaries and their fellow workers. Deprivation, perplexity, sickness, bereavement have been met with splendid fortitude. “H o w does the cut affect the morale of the workers?” w e are asked. A t first, perhaps,- before the inclusiveness of it was fully recognized, individual missionaries or institutions had the feeling of the small boy w h o was found looking very disconsolate at his o w n birthday party. Asked what was the matter, he flashed out: “There was one cake short and they m a d e m e have it!” W h e n , however, the workers found themselves face to face with the inevitable they matched their courage with the hour, accepted the sacrifices required with such grace as is indicated in their reports in “T h e Story of the Year” and found n e w spiritual power in so doing. It was no light thing for- the American faculty of Ferris Seminary cheerfully to combine their households in the Ladies’ Residence, so that the Principal’s Residence might be rented to supply funds for a local substitute for the teacher that could not be sent from America. W e are proud of our missionaries; w e should thank G o d for them every day. This fine spirit has been evinced not only by missionaries but in marked measure by Bible W o m e n , teachers and other women- workers. Some, for the very subsistence of their families, have had to seek more lucrative employment, but many, subjected to severe sacrifice, have stood the acid test. Several Bible W o m e n in India, dropped from the pay-roll, are giving voluntary service, looking for no reward.

W e are thankful for the growing sense of responsibility of the Chris­tians in China. W h e n w e were unable to provide m oney for the enlargement of the A m o y Girls’ Middle School building, they added two wings at their o w n expense to accommodate the large increase in attendance that has resulted from the experiment in Chinese control. Their erection of a Nurses’ H o m e at H o p e Hospital is a similar indication of their valuation of mission institutions and their will to get under the load. W e are deeply thankful for their expressed determination to keep the girls’ schools thor­oughly Christian.

T h e year has been characterized by some changes in policy and method. M a n y of these fall in the Report of the Secretary for Y o u n g W o m e n ’s W o r k and Missionary Education.

A Joint Committee of the W o m e n ’s Boards of Foreign and Domestic Missions has been set up as a clearing house for matters affecting both Boards, with a view to greater unification of w o m e n ’s work. O n e of the duties of this committee is to prepare a united program for the societies that graduate from the Y o u n g W o m e n ’s Leagues, for Service and for groups of business w o m e n and “young mothers” intermediate between the young w o m e n and the older auxiliaries.

T h e Western Conferences last fall were ably directed by the Western Advisory Committee under the leadership of Mrs. James W a y e r and Mrs. John A. Dykstra. Miss Coburn and Mrs. Stegeman were the foreign missionary speakers; Mrs. Harmeling, Mrs. A. D e Young, Mrs, Pietenpol and Mrs. Paul H i n k a m p represented the Board, and the Classical C o m ­mittees brought inspiration and help in their various Classes. T h e Classical Union of Grand Rapids, Holland and Musk e g o n was divided into two conferences, each with record attendance. In the East, forum discussions

Report of Editorial and Educational Secretary 57under Board leaders took the place of, customary addresses, a practical experiment which several Classes have asked to repeat next year. Eastern Conferences have been privileged to hear Miss Vander Linden, Miss Noordyk, Mrs. Renskers, Miss Charlotte Drury, returned from an extended visit in India, Dr. Barny, Miss Coburn and Mrs. Stegeman.

T h e first united Conference at Northfield, combining H o m e and For­eign Missions, was so successful as to lead to the planning of - a more ambitious program for the coming summer. A desire for a closer fellow­ship of the adult delegates has led to the appointment of Mrs. Ernest Palen as registrar and hostess for Reformed Church women.

A t the Annual Meeting of the Foreign Missions Conference of North America in January the Federation of W o m e n ’s Boards of Foreign Mis­sions, which has hitherto bound the W o m e n ’s Boards of the United States and Canada in an intimate interdenominational fellowship, was merged with the Foreign Missions Conference as the “Committee on W o m e n ’s W o r k ”. Committees of the Federation are continued as sub-committees of the Conference and w o m e n members of the Boards are included in all important committees of the Conference. O u r W o m a n ’s Board has a repre­sentative this year on the Committee of Reference and Counsel. For all these changes, which w e must feel are forward steps in the plan of God, w e give H i m thanks.

Finally, above all other blessings of the year w e count the quiet working of G o d ’s Spirit, giving fruitage to Paul’s sowing and Apollos’ cultivation of the seed. W e praise H i m for the confessions of Christian faith by students of our schools in Japan with full consent of parents, for acceptances of the Savior in Chinese Bible Schools and hospital wards, for the glad news from Arabia of baptisms and fearless testimonies, large attendance at church services, n e w enquirers, and the advance of the cross into n e w territory. W e believe that

“His purposes will ripen fast,Unfolding every hour”—

and for this certainty, as for the rich experience of the year, w e say with John Oxenham, “W e thank Thee, thank Thee, thank Thee, Lord."

D E P A R T M E N T O F Y O U N G W O M E N ’S W O R K A N D M I S S I O N A R Y E D U C A T I O N

“A growing child always stretches its clothes— unless they are rebuilt or replaced by n e w ones,” says Percy H a y w a r d in his review of the Christian education program of the Church. It is a law running all through life, he reminds us. “A growing person bursts the old clothes. A growing society disrupts the old order. A growing movement must adjust itself, even painfully, to the n e w day that its o w n growth and the changing world have forced upon it."

This law of life has laid its hand upon us most noticeably this year in all three branches of our work, that with our Sunday schools, our young people, our Leagues for Service. There has been distinct growth at every point and a strain on the old clothes that makes necessary careful re-think­ing and its natural accompaniment, readjustment. W e welcome these signs of growth for they mean life.

W e have been conscious of three specific emphases:' I. Y o u n g people are beginning to take a n e w place in the missionary program of the Church. A t all the large interdenominational gatherings where the advance programs of Missions were being formulated, the ques­tion was raised over and over again, “W h e r e are the young people? ’ Their presence was not only desired but actually provided for in the program of future sessions. T h e presence of young m e n and w o m e n “under thirty” is undoubtedly assured in the next annual gatherings of both Foreign Mis­sions Conference and H o m e Missions Council. '“Is the missionary enterprise challenging the interest and support of the younger generation? If not,

M h e missionary enterprise is doomed,” says Dr. Charles Watson, recently returned from Egypt. “Will Christian youth rise up and say, T will help to bring the K i n g d o m of G o d on earth?’” questions E. Stanley Jones after a prolonged trip through the churches of our country. There is a big job waiting to be done in Race Relations, a big job to be done in bringing peace to our earth, a big job yet to be done in the great areas of missionary endeavor— jobs waiting till young people with high Christian idealism and sacrificial courage mobilize to put their ideals into practice.

Such challenges flung upon thousands of our youth in the last year together with the splendid forum wor k done by m a n y ministers in their young people’s groups and the increasing introduction of missionaries and missionary programs into the youth activities of our Sunday schools, and churches, have brought results of great significance such as the following:

1. T h e enthusiastic attendance of our youth at s u m m e r conferences— 69 at Northfield, 35 at Pine Lodge, 74 at Stony Brook, while m a n y others participated in Blairstown, Winnepesaukee, Geneva, Winona.

2. T h e organization of sixteen n e w Leagues for Service a m o n g high school age girls to take the place in our ranks of those older Leagues w h o have during the year taken direct affiliation with the W o m e n ’s Boards of Missions.

3. A n e w emphasis on the reading of missionary books a m o n g young people and the fostering of reading programs and contests by ministers and youth leaders in the local church. T o meet what will undoubtedly be a growing demand for books, the Leaders’ Loan Library has eliminated its 10c fee and is sending books at no cost to the local church except return postage.

Closely linked with this n e w enthusiasm for Missions and partly g r o w ­ing out of the stimulus of missionary speakers, is the n e w and growing

movement in our denomination— the Youth Fellowship. Fifteen thousand of the twenty-four thousand young people in our churches have come together in rallies within the past six months for the express purpose of knowing more about and finding their place in the denomination of which they are a part. Within the Fellowship program is an active participation in the support of our missionary w o r k both Domestic and Foreign. T o the promotion of this program your Secretary w a s loaned for a period of nine months (October to June) and as the weeks have gone on and the enthusiasm and activity of the young people increased, she is convinced that nothing to which she could have given her time this year could have been of more real importance to the future of our missionary program. T h e Classical Repre­sentatives for Y o u n g W o m e n ’s W o r k have cooperated to the full in the beginnings of this n e w movement, working closely with the Youth Fellow­ship Counselor in the classis so that there will be no confusion in regard to the relationship between Leagues for Service and the n e w Fellowship.

II. A second very apparent trend not only expressed in young people’s groups but quite noticeably throughout our church life can be expressed in the phrase: "The word of the hour is action.”

Such expressions as these are heard on all sides: “Talk does not cook rice,” “the final triumph of the good is not inevitable and m u c h depends in our modern world on what w e Christians do right now,” “there are plenty of pioneer jobs still to be done in our Reformed Church program,” “in today's world fast, intelligent action by Christian individuals is essen­tial,” “the significance of the recovery period to religion depends on the number of church members w h o have their religious duties on the list of preferred obligations and are ready n o w to respond.”

Such expressions are indicative of a most significant trend a m o n g our churches and are calling for a greatly enlarged program of missionary education. Leaders are everywhere demanding methods and ways for getting into action, as illustrated b y :

1. Op e n forums on program building and principles of w o r k in the W o m e n ’s Classical Union meetings.

2. Repeated calls from Sunday school leaders for a vital and challeng­ing program in Missions for the whole school including projects of support. T o meet these calls the Missionary Education Department is adding two n e w features to its present program for Sunday schools; namely, the incorporation of Reformed Church missionary information in the regular Sunday school quarterlies wherever possible, and the preparation of a special bulletin on Missionary Education in the Sunday School.

3. Real sacrificial giving on the part of our Leagues for Service resulting in a total gift during this difficult year of $7,797.22 for Domestic Missions, including Golden Anniversary gifts, and $7,432.57 for Foreign Missions. O f this latter amount $287 was for objects outside of the young w o m e n ’s budget, and $477.07 toward last year’s deficit, making the' total raised of the foreign budget, $6,668.50. This means that our Leagues for Service have contributed this year $14,465.72 of their $16,000 budget.

These Leagues, 384 in number, in m a n y instances, have in addition helped to meet heavy local church obligations and thus fulfilled one of the objects of their purpose— service to their o w n church. W e cannot be grateful enough for the very active, sacrificial spirit shown during this year by our Leagues.

4. Interdenominational missionary education programs of large scope in connection with the nation-wide series of Foreign Missionary Confer­

ences and with the large program of advance of the H o m e Missions Council. M a n y of our resources of leadership and materials have been ma d e available for these interdenominational projects, the Secretary giving time m c o m ­mittee planning, leading forums and discussion groups for Sunday schoo teachers, leaders of missionary societies and young people’s groups, in all of which have been displayed a thirst for the best ways of making Missions an active, vital part of the whole church program.

M a n y distinct values to our o w n denominational wor k have come out of these meetings. Opportunities for meeting groups of pastors, d e m o n ­strating and interpreting to them our materials for church schools of missions, vacation schools, m e n ’s groups, young people and Sunday school have resulted in m u c h n e w activity in m a n y of our churches. Ministers Associations in two Synods have appointed a special representative as a missionary librarian and promoter of missionary material. T h e Missionary Education Department will keep him constantly supplied with n e w books and materials. '

III. A n d running throughout all these activities is a note that gives point to it all, that encourages us to m o v e forward into another rich year of missionary activity. It is the accent on the spiritual motive of Christian Missions and the n e w consciousness in both younger and older leaders that while n e w and challenging issues are ever before us and newer and better methods must be discovered to meet changing times, at the center of all . our activity is the unchanging Christ whose spirit and power must be in us, deep and satisfying and meaningful, before w e can be active and effective persons in the missionary enterprise. '

Believing that which has been expressed by so many,— that what the world needs today is a fifth gospel— a convincing story of Christ in the lives of His present-day followers, w e would carry over this note of per­sonal Christian responsibility into the year to come and m a k e it again the cornerstone upon which w e shall seek to build n e w purposes, n e w programs, n e w lives. ' Sue W eddell, Secretary

T H E S E W I N G G U I L D“Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these ye have

done it unto m e ”. These oft-quoted words of the Master express better than any the spirit of the Sewing Guild, for the w o r k is designed to be a special and extra offering mad e “in His n a m e for His little ones in foreign lands and to uphold the hands of His faithful workers, our missionaries. In no other calling can w e find such an appreciative group as the ones to w h o m the boxes are sent. \

F r o m one of our faithful workers in India comes this message— “I do ' want you to k n o w h o w m u c h I appreciated the Guild box you sent for me. T h e continuation of these gifts during the difficult times at h o m e represents true devotion on the part of the w o m e n w h o have worked and sacrificed to m a k e it possible. W e have had to learn to do without m a n y things during these past few years and it was so good not to have to be denied the help, cheer and encouragement which these Guild B o x gifts give us. T h e labor of love you put into the w o r k of stimulating the w o m e n of the churches and sorting and assembling the clothes, etc. into boxes for the various fields is something for which w e are deeply indebted to you. O u r hearts are torn within us m a n y times w h e n w e see the naked and shivering bodies of our poor Indian children during the rainy and cold season, and it is then that your jackets, petticoats, flannel dresses and blankets meet a need that is not greater anywhere. India’s poor are poor indeed. T o be

Report of Sewing Guild 61able to m a k e life a little happier and brighter by these gifts to "the least of these gives us so m u c h satisfaction and m a n y happy moments. W e . could wish that you could follow your gifts and see h o w m u c h cheer your good cause radiates in m a n y homes and lives. Y o u must realize h o w indispensable you are to us and in this w e k n o w you share with us the joy of real service. W e hope your good wor k will go on and that you will be able to send out another box this year to us— w e need one so much.”

A nurse in India writes: “I must write to you at once pleading for supplies for the hospital. I returned to w o r k here after m y furlough and after Mission Meeting on January 10th, and w h e n I opened the linen-room the first time I nearly fainted and then wept. For it did not have a sheet or pillow case. Just a few baby dresses and blankets, and w e are using our pillows without cases and they look as black as coal from the dirty heads, and I was shocked whe n I saw people brought to the operating table with the clothes they had worn for days in the streets. The y did not have a change of clothes, and neither did w e have any to give them. Please send us sheets, cases, petticoats and jackets and, of course, all kinds of hospital supplies. T h e other day an old m a n with cancer of the chest came and asked m e for some clean clothes. I had nothing to give him except an old coat and he was clad in that for his visit to the operating room. A n d whe n you send the box to m e will you please send some of those nice Sunday School lesson pictures ? I want them so m u c h for ward patients.”

Another writes: " W h e n I unpacked m y Guild box I found it just full of such lovely articles I really cannot thank you enough. I had not dared to hope for so m u c h and just the right things. A t Christmas many, m a n y people in our congregation will be able to receive a w a r m flannel square for their little brown babies or a dress for older brother or sister. I a m truly grateful for the lovely gifts, and now, especially, w h e n our homeland is having such hardships and difficulties to contend with. W e had a most wonderful spirit in our Arcot Mission concerning cuts. O u r hearts burn for all you dear people w h o in spite of so m a n y difficulties have been able to send us Guild boxes. O u r hearty thanks for all, but most of all for your prayers.” •> Another writes: “Perhaps instead of trying to thank you inadequately

1 11 describe some of the parcels I m a d e up for Christmas and the people w h o got them. M y dear friends in the Second Church of N e w Brunswick provided means for m e to buy sweets and give every school a Christmas treat; so I was happy! W e started out at 7 A. M . one day before Christmas to m a k e the rounds of the Punganur villages. It had taken m e several days to m a k e up the parcels which were piled into the car. Every teacher and his wife and each child had a parcel. I gave the lovely woolen mufflers to the teacher, a towel and a piece of soap to his wife; to the children balls, pencils, beads, dolls, etc., and to the babies the little slips and blankets, and then to each child in the school I gave a little present— a jacket or a toy or a blank book and pencil and then for all sweets and a mild sort of a feast on Christmas Day. I can tell you w e were greeted by smiling faces and joyous salaams. It really takes so little to m a k e these village children h a p p y ! T h e mothers and fathers, too, were very pleased though they got nothing. I did wish I could give every m a n and w o m a n something as well as the children. However, they were happy for their children. W e went to each village school and had a short meeting with the people and it took us thirteen hours to get around. It was a very happy day and our gratitude goes to you dear w o m e n at h o m e w h o take so m u c h trouble to give us this joy. I still have a few baby slips and blankets in m y trunk and I have fitted out a young girl to go into the Industrial School with two petticoats and jackets. I had need only yesterday for something, as a

Christian m a n walked over twenty miles to come and tell m e his wife had a n e w baby! So he carried back a slip and blanket to the n e w little one! T h e Palmaner Villages are only two, and those w e cared for on another day, but in the same manner. Y o u can easily believe that in the present depleted condition of our Mission Funds this sort of thing would simply not be done if the Sewing Guild boxes did not come! W e all send to .you and the faithful w o m e n w h o sew and give and pack our loving thanks and deep appreciation. I hope you can send, m e a box this year. I don t want to be greedy, but I do long for such things to be used for these very poor people.

F r o m Arabia w e hear: "The boxes were so generous and it was such a pleasure to receive them, and w e were so pleased to see what nice boxes they were. N o w that w e intend specializing our school for poorer girls w e ’ll need more and more w a r m garments for them. I was so delighted with those w e did receive. O n e of the teachers did quite a lot of extra teaching this year; so w e are going to give her a suit for her young boy and a bathrobe for the little girl; so the Guild box was very handy. 1 he sewing supplies will be so nice both for school and club work. 1 do so thank you for sending m e just what I needed.”

O n e of our Evangelistic workers writes: “W h e n one gets everything one wants and wants everything one gets, it is indeed a blessed feeling. 1 just never could have had a nicer box for Christmas and the kind of things that do so help out throughout the year for these poor people. Those love y w a r m garments— what a comfort to k n o w that w e will not have to dis­appoint all the poor people w h o depend on us for at least one garment apiece for themselves and their families at the beginning of the cold weather. T h e quilts and blankets are, of course, equally welcome. O n e of them serves to cover a whole family, as the poor always huddle together at night for warmth." .

F r o m one of our doctors w e hear that the hospital supplies came just in time wh e n shelves were bare. “A n d I wish I could only begin to tell you h o w our hearts were mad e glad at sight of the quantities of nice new bed-linen and towels: the gauze, soap, bandages, hot water bottles, rubber gloves, safety pins, baby slips and blankets— all so sorely needed and so welcome. Y o u cannnot k n o w h o w m u c h it means to us to have shelves that empty, oh, so quickly, filled up again by boxes from home. Please circulate a delighted ‘T h a n k you’ for all the hidden treasures of the Sewing Guild boxes.”

W e close the record of this happy year of service, feeling confident of the continued support of the members of the Guild, extending a welcome to any w h o will join us, and giving to all as a watchword for the coming year, the words of one of our workers: “Pray, as you cut out or sew, that these garments m a y become channels for Christs love to flow through to•the hearts that are weary from sin.” .M abv T.nmsir.

I wish to present the wo r k of the Committee on Life and Memorial Memberships. Having been ma d e guardian of the child that Mrs. Stillwell had so long cared for and nourished so well, I naturally felt a certain unfit­ness for the task. W h a t would have been accomplished had it not been for the interest of certain members of our Auxiliaries, I cannot say. I want to express on behalf of the Board our deep appreciation to all those whose love for the Missions of our Church ma d e the Life and Memorial M e m b e r ­ships possible.

Report of Committee on Life ami Memorial Membership 63During the year 1933-34 there was ma d e no effort to secure either

Memorial or Life Memberships. D u e to the financial stress of the year it was felt that any special effort to secure added memberships might detract from the regular .and m u c h needed contributions to our Board and to the other Boards.

All the Memorial Memberships and Life Memberships which w e have received this year have come from the love of the donors for the work of our Board and their love for the ones in whose names memberships were given. It was from no conscious effort on the part of the Chairman.

Five names were placed on the roll of Memorial Memberships. This is four more than were added during the year 1932-33. (See page 125).

Twenty-four Life Memberships were added this year. This is a n u m ­ber equal to that of last year.

It is time n o w to hear the Lord say, “G o Forward. Speak to the children that they go forward.” It is time that w e remember that G o d is on our side if w e seek to do His will and that with His help nothing can hold us back.

I wish w e might remember these things about these two types of m e m ­bership. Memorial Memberships remind us of those w h o m a k e up that great cloud of witnesses with w h o m w e are surrounded and whose spirits eternally urge us on to do more. Life Memberships give us a personal touch with those on the Mission field. It is a personal contact of prayer that helps in three different ways. It helps the Missionary w h o is our Prayer Mate. It helps the Society to which the m e m b e r belongs. It helps the member. Let us work together now. Let us set for our goal for 1934-35 ten Memorial Memberships and forty-eight Life Memberships.

Priscilla D. Palen, Chairman

T h e total for the year is 171. M a y w e pray that each of these little ones, and those in the homes in China and India, m a y learn to k n o w our blessed Savior and gro w up to lives of service for Him.“Jesus loves the little children,
