Evangelistic Work „Amoy City Y.W.C.A.— N o subsequent year in the history of our Asso­

ciation will ever seem more important to us than this first year of our * existence. A s w e approach our first birthday, w e look back over the/'past twelve months with considerable interest and gratitude to God. ^ »»

W e began our n e w life as a fully organized Association on" December- nineteenth, 1933, and celebrated the occasion by inviting members an'd' all' interested w o m e n and girl friends to a meeting in which w e explained-our program more fully and gave a pleasant program of music, a few addresses and some short performances by the children of several of our members.

Early in the n e w year w e held a retread of the newly elected trustees* In a beautiful rest house in a quiet garden w e spent the day in considering opportunities for service and our program for the year. Miss Shao of the National Committee prolonged her visit so that %he also could be with us on that day.

T h e officers of the Association with Miss Fang, our General Secretary, have followed with devotion and enthusiasm the program laid d o w n at that time.

O u r n e w h o m e — three small but cheerful and" pleasant rooms.* in the h o m e of one of our trustees— has been the center of useful and inspiring activity. In both spring and autumn w e have conducted classes in various subjects. Some, such as English and T h e Thousand Characters and Music, have extended through the whole year. Some, on the other hand, were offered for a very limited period. These included special kinds of sewing, paper-flower making, lectures on family hygiene, a discussion group for expectant mothers.

V

r

T h e various departments have taken responsibility for the monthly meetings for our whole membership. These meetings have therefore been varied in character— a mother-program, an Easter program, a 'literacy program, a musical program, and others.

During the summer, while classes were not in session and our Secretary was on her vacation, the Recreation Department became responsible for hospitality at the Y. W . rooms. Each afternoon, except Sunday, a team of four or five of our members acted as hostesses and arranged games and sociability of various sorts.

N o w , as w e approach the end of our first year, w e realize with gratitude h o w good the Lord has been to us, and w e give him hearty thanks and take courage.

O n e of the outstanding features of our autumn program was a Sale of Goods, held in some rooms of the, Y.M.C.A., kindly loaned for the occasion. This was our first attempt to do anything of this sort, but all m a d e up in willing service what w e lacked in experience. W e learned valuable lessons in cooperation and fellowship as well as earning a tidy s u m of money.

The Book Room— T h e A m o y Christian B o o k R o o m has been doing m u c h more business since w e moved into our fine n e w shop. T h e recent revival meetings held in A m o y under the leadership of Dr. Sung, a Chinese evangelist, greatly increased our sale of Bibles. So w e feel greatly encouraged to find our good books being appreciated and w e take courage for the N e w Year. K atharine R. G reen

New Work on Amoy Island— H a v e you heard of Chhim-Chhau-lia ? Translated it means “In the deep fields”— a newly settled part of A m o y on the outskirts of the city. Here came the opportunity to start Children’s Meetings. Assisted by Mrs. Li, a good Christian mother of several children, I have met a large group of children every Saturday afternoon in the chapel. T h e chapel is .an old Chinese house with some partitions taken out to m a k e a large room, in which over 200 people crowd on Sunday.

Last year the w o r k began with about 50 children from non-Christian homes. This year as m a n y as 95 came to a single meeting. Mothers, also, often come to listen. Hymn s , m e m o r y verses and prayers (to be used in the home) are taught and Bible stories told. A t the close each child is given a much-prized card (when w e have them). W e use old Christmas and birthday cards and valentines.

Through the children there is access to m a n y homes. W e try to go to a h o m e where w e can meet with several women, teach them to read and give a Bible lesson, often followed by a real heart to heart talk. Fre­quently w e are called in to pray with and for a sick one. In one afternoon, from one to six o’clock, three such calls can be made. W e e k l y calls are continued at a given h o m e until our aim is accomplished— to teach them to read their Bible and consider seriously their o w n salvation.

T h e wife of a Chinese official w h o m w e have visited regularly since last M a y has confessed her belief in Jesus. H e r neighbor has confessed her need of the Saviour and attends church regularly. It is necessary to explain the simplest truths to them. They are but “Babes in Christ”. It was very hard at first to approach them, for w e did not k n o w each other as w e do now. It is a joy to k n o w the Lord has opened their hearts to the truth. A w o m a n from Formosa w h o had heard about the revival meeting in South Fukien said— “I do not understand these things. Will you come and explain them to m e ? ” Finding she could read Chinese character w e gave her tracts and a Gospel of John. She was so touched by the story of the crucifixion of Jesus that she wept.

Climbing up a dirty, dark stairway, w e found a w o m a n and her daughter to w h o m w e were teaching the Gospel. T h e y live with several .families in a

large center room, each having one bedroom. W e went to the tiny bedroom holding all their belongings— not a chair, so w e all sat together on the little bed. W e tried to comfort a very sad mother w h o had followed us in and, before leaving, w e spoke to the four m e n and the four women, each cooking in her o w n corner. O n the w a y to another h o m e where death had entered w e were stopped and invited into a store, where w e talked to 25 m e n and w o m e n until dark. They invited us to supper and promised to go with Mr. Li to church. T h e trip through the big city of A m o y and across the harbor was still before me.

Since the revival in A m o y , m y Bible Class of 18 older w o m e n of the Second Church— all Christians and able to read— are teaching n e w hearers that have been brought to the church.

In the W o m e n ’s School I have devoted two periods a.week to teaching the w o m e n to sing Gospel hymns, hoping it will bring a little added joy into their drab homes.

I k n o w you realize h o w m u c h you can share in this w o r k by praying for these people and for us your co-workers. W e crave and need your prayers to uphold us. (Mrs. H. P.) A n n a M. Boot

Educational WorkAmoy Girls’ Middle School— This year has been a red letter one in the

history of the A m o y Girls’ Middle School, for it saw the completion of the extensive building program carried on by the Board of Managers— the erection of two wings, the remodeling and partial reconstruction of the central portion of the building, the enlarging of the chapel, and the making possible of more suitable quarters for teaching sewing, cooking, history, geography, art, and the sciences. There are n o w ten large classrooms in the building besides these extra classrooms. This program called for an expenditure of $37,000., of which about $35,000. was raised on the field. T h e Board of Managers still has the task before it of making the equipment more nearly adequate to the needs of the school. T h e drastic cut in appro­priations, on top of the expenditure for building, has put a very heavy financial burden upon them.

In M a y m a n y friends of the school came to celebrate the dedication of the n e w building. T h e school has a good nam e and reputation, not only in this community but also abroad in Manila, Java, and Singapore, where m a n y of our graduates have gone, and the display of w o r k on exhibition at the time of the dedication was most highly c o m mended by all w h o saw it. At that time the Alumnae met and organized, and w e hope they m a y thus take a more active part in the future development of the school.

In June the Principal, Mr. Shao, completed his course at the Fukien Christian University; during the fall he was able to give full time to the school, and the result has been most gratifying. There is a staff of thirteen full-time and eight part-time teachers, all but one Christians. T h e foreign staff has been very m u c h depleted this year. In the spring term Miss B e e k m a n was a w a y on leave in America, and in the fall w e very mu c h missed Miss Holkeboer and Miss Bleakney. T h e help Mrs. Oltman gave in the fall term was very m u c h appreciated.

T h e School City has been carrying on as before, and the School Y.W.C.A. has had a very good year. There were over eighty Y.W.C.A. members, and forty of them were busy each Sunday with Sunday schools, children’s meetings, and visits to the Slave Refuge, Almshouse, etc. After the revival meetings twelve evangelistic bands were formed in the school. O n Christmas day 234 of the girls and teachers went to twelve different places with gifts, bringing the Christmas message to 2160 people.

T h e school had an enrollment of over 250, of w h o m 100 were boarders in the dormitory. •

Statistics cannot give the true picture of the w o r k being done in the school. W o u l d that w e might bring you into personal touch with these girls that you might, learn to k n o w and love them. W e count on your prayers and. interest, for thus you m a y share in this wor k for the Master.

• E dna K. B e e k m a nAmoy Girls’ Primary School— T h e A m o y Girls’ Primary School had

an enrollment of 333 the first term and 326 the second term, with 415 names in all on the roll. O f these, 4 0 % came from Christian homes. There were forty boarders in the dormitory. In addition to the Principal, Mr. Shao, there was a staff of nineteen w o m e n teachers, sixteen full-time and three part-time. ' .

T h e Religious Education classes were held as before at the noon recess, each class having a period a day of such instruction. Attendance at church and Sunday school was voluntary, and 273 children attended, 124 of them having a perfect attendance at both for the whole term, and 46 others missing only one Sunday. After the revival meetings in October four preaching bands were formed, and these girls go to the Hospital on Saturday afternoons and gather in about eighty neighborhood children on Sunday afternoons for Children’s Meetings. T h e Junior C. E. has had a very happy year and the children have been very m u c h helped by it.

A t Christmas time $62. was contributed by the children, and seventy- five w o m e n and forty children were ma d e happy by gifts of cloth. In addition to this service* the children gave $40. to the Chinese H o m e Mission­ary Society and $64. to the Chinese Mission to Lepers.

T h e Dormitory and Religious Center spent $3,155.77 during the year, of which $280. was a grant from America, the rest being raised on the field. Tuition fees, amounting to over $6,000., were received during the year and expended by the Board of Managers in carrying on the work of the school.

T h e school took part in the athletic meet for the district sponsored by the Board of Education, and the girls were thrilled with their trophies w o n — five banners, two silver shields, and a loving-cup.

W e ask for your prayers for this school, that these m a n y lives m a y be w o n for Christ. E d n a k _ B e e k m a n

Charlotte Duryee Bible School for Women— Another year has passed— a year of telling the old, old story of Jesus and His love to those w h o sorely need Him, of helping Christians to understand the Bible better, of teaching the non-Christian, pupils to read so that they also m a y k n o w its precious truths by the seeing of the eye as well as by the hearing of the ear.

T h e school started in ,1884 has n o w passed its fiftieth birthday. Miss Talmage, w h o has been head of the school for twenty-four years, resigned at the end of 1933 and Miss Duryee was appointed in her place. Miss Talmage is held in loving remembrance and gratitude by hundreds of w o m e n w h o have been under her influence.

At the beginning of the year Miss H o became Principal of the school. T h e former Principal remains as teacher and the other teachers still remain with us. W e have added one more w h o teaches only half time. Miss Talmage, Miss Morrison and Miss Duryee also take classes.

O u r pupils divide roughly into two classes, those w h o are already Christians and come for further instruction and Bible study and those w h o k n o w very little or nothing of' Christianity wh e n they come.

Mrs. Love, w h o did some Bible W o m a n ’s w o r k in what was once a notorious robber village between A m o y and Tong-an, came back for one term of study. She has n o w returned to the same village, taking with her Miss Tee, a former pupil. She reports great destitution a m o n g the people,

owing to loss of crops through the prolonged drought, but she also tells of real interest a m o n g the w o m e n and increased attendance at church. T w o of our o w n older.Bible W o m e n , as well as one from the English Presbyterian Mission and one from the London Missionary Society have been enrolled as pupils, and the L.M.S. has taken on two n e w Bible W o m e n w h o studied in the school.

Mrs. Gold, another pupil, w e hope will soon be ready for work. She was a Christian and a regular church attendant for m a n y years at the little chapel in the village of K a n g thau. She studied long enough in the W o m a n ’s School to learn to read, but she used to say she could not under­stand the Bible and w h e n urged to return to the school always said she could not leave home. She had an ambition, as she told us this term, that her sons should have a position in the world. T h e elder son studied to be a doctor and after graduation opened a hospital of his o w n in a place east of Tong-an. She went to live with her son and w e lost sight of her until she suddenly appeared at the school in February to be enrolled as a pupil. H e r doctor son had died, the second son had very little to do and the mother realized that her former ambitions were in vain. She seems very m u c h in earnest now. She spent some weeks last s u m m e r in an un­reached district west of Tong-an where she has a married daughter, given a w a y as a child before Mrs. Gold became a Christian.

Another quite different case is a girl of eighteen w h o came to us at the beginning of the year. She was brought by a preacher of the chapel in her village. Im-a belongs to a well-to-do heathen family. H e r mother is an opium smoker, and she herself had begun to take opium. T h e old grandmother, a very zealous idolater, was willing to have the girl come to school to escape the influence of the mother. She was not a prepossess­ing person; her progress was slow, but she learned to read and studied an easy Life of Christ and a little book of Old Testament stories. She spent most of the s u m m e r in school as her village was disturbed by bandits. She had the fall term, as well, and expressed her fixed determination to be a Christian. W e heard she could not come back after the winter vacation— that her grandmother had betrothed her to a heathen. This girl needs our special prayers. Just wh e n she is to be married w e do not know, but for a young w o m a n to worship G o d in a heathen family requires Divine strength.

In the autumn the w o m e n had the opportunity of attending Dr. Sun g ’s revival meetings and received m u c h blessing. These meetings were also the means of bringing us three n e w day-pupils. O n e was the fourth wife of a very noted bandit chief, n o w dead. Apparently she had never heard any­thing of Christianity until she joined the throngs w h o listened to Dr. Sung. She learned to read the colloquial in the few weeks she was in school. H e r sister w h o was visiting her also came to school and learned to read a very simple catechism before she was sent for to return to her husband’s h o m e in a very distant mountain village. Will the seed sown bear fruit? Only G o d knows.

T h e school needs larger accommodation. Seventy-one pupils enrolled the first term and fifty-four the second. T h e need for an additional build­ing is very great and for increased appropriations still greater. Since 1932 the Mission appropriation, never large, has been cut fifty percent and without some relief w e shall find it difficult to carry on. ' But w e believe “It m a y not be m y way, It m a y not be thy way, But yet in His o w n w a y T h e Lord will provide.”

Before closing I want to express the hope that Dr. Z w e m e r ’s n e w book “Thinking Missions Wit h Christ” m a y be read by all w h o m a y be perplexed or w h o need their vision cleared, that w e on the field and you at h o m e m a y always realize “what is central in our missionary w o r k and where the chief emphasis should be laid.” L ily N.

Pity-Little-Children Home— T h e year opened with a sad event. Pity, one of the oldest girls in the H o m e and a church member, was married by her o w n choice to a non-Christian and a m e m b e r of a purely heathen family. She was introduced to him while she was studying to become a kindergarten teacher and later became engaged to him, all without our knowledge. H e is a graduate of the Military A c a d e m y in Nanking but at present they are living at his home. W e bespeak your most earnest prayers for Pity and her husband.'

A happier piece of news is the marriage of Sun-an on the fourteenth of October to Dr. U n g Hoai-gee of the English Presbyterian hospital in Chinchew. Sun-an left the H o m e some' years ago to study nursing and then midwifery at our Mission hospital here in Kolongsu. After graduation she was employed in the Maternity Hospital in A m o y . T h e engagement was celebrated by a little tea in our o w n home. This marriage seems satisfactory in every way.

After Pity was married the year went on quietly. O u r temporary matron, the wife of a preacher, left to go with her husband to his new place of work. Miss Jin Po-chhai, a former inmate of the H o m e , came to be matron.

O f the children two older ones, both partially crippled and too dull to go on with their studies, help in the w o r k of the H o m e . Love is still teaching in our W o m a n ’s School and Received Grace is doing well at Middle School. Four are studying in the Primary School and three little ones are in the H o m e , still too young to study. But even .these little ones help in the housework, sweeping the tile floors or doing some little work in the kitchen.

T w o n e w children have been received during the year. O n e is a little blind girl, five years old, w h o was brought to us from the country. T h e child’s mother had given her a w a y to another woman, but after little Watermelon-seed became blind the foster mother gave her back to her o w n mother. Desperately poor herself, she sent the child to us asking that w e take her in. H o w could w e refuse? W e hope that wh e n the opportunity to send her to F o ochow offers, the School for Blind Girls there m a y be willing to take her. H e r n a m e has been changed to Beautiful Grace. The second child is about ten j'ears old. She was owned by a w o m a n in A m o y w h o has become a hearer lin the Riverside church, and whose daughter-in­law is a pupil in our W o m a n ’s School. This w o m a n buys children to be her daughters (?) and later marries them off, presumably at a profit. Evidently she found she had mad e a bad bargain whe n she bought Quiet. Perhaps some pity for the child stirred her heart or the daughter’s arid they brought the child to us. W e said w e would take her on trial. O n e a r m is quite helpless and she is very dull, but she is going to school and w e hope will improve.

Thus the end of the year sees the H o m e with eleven inmates. Three blind girls are still at the school in F o o c h o w and the H o m e is still helping four mothers with m o n e y to care for their children, in one case an adopted baby picked up after she had been thrown awa y by her mother. In all, the H o m e has twenty-seven children under its care.

W e ask your prayers for these children and your gifts for the Home.‘ Lily N. D uryee

Medical WorkTraining School for Nurses— Wit h the furlough of Miss Nienhuis

great responsibilities were shifted to m u c h less experienced shoulders— but G o d has proved His guidance over and over and w e believe that His hand has been on the wheel throughout the year. W e were fortunate and

happy to have Miss Jessie Platz come to help fill the great gap mad e by Miss Nienhuis’ absence.

W h e n the School of Nursing was founded in 1925 the aim of the founder (Miss Nienhuis) was to produce Christian nurses for C h i n a - young people not only trained in the art of nursing with a love for the work, but ready to serve both body and soul because the Love of Christ is in their hearts. W e , today, still have this purpose and w e are happy indeed with the Christian spirit manifested a m o n g the graduates and the students. This year two of our students, one a third year and one a second year student, were baptized and received into the Church. Both are from non- Christian families and have been attending a preparatory class in the local church for over a year. T h e one gets no opposition but no support for her Christian life from her family; the other gets only opposition. This fall four others entered this preparatory class— two from Christian homes and two from non-Christian,— all former students of our A m o y Girls’ Middle School.

M a n y of the students are eagerly doing voluntary evangelistic wor k in the hospital. It is gratifying to see them teaching patients to read hymns and the Bible. W e learned of two patients from heathen homes, who, while still in the hospital, learned to b o w their heads and to thank G o d for each meal as it was served them— a little boy of ten and an old woman. T h e little boy is a ray of sunshine in the ward as, with his leg in a cast, he smiles and sings the hymns he has learned since his arrival in the hospital.

W e have tried to raise the educational standards of the school by being more strict with the pupils. Having a higher grade student than two years ago (ninth grade graduate is n o w our m i n i m u m requirement) w e can hope for more progress along this line. O n e year of senior high school work is our m a x i m u m in this year’s n e w class, and this for one student only— the public in A m o y -does not yet generally welcome nursing for an educated girl. O u r curriculum is, as it has been since the beginning of the school, the required curriculum of the Nurses’ Association of China. W e have added a class in public health nursing this year, and although the practical wo r k will have to come more slowly than the teaching, it is our goal.

W e are grateful and indebted to every doctor on our staff, both Chinese and foreign, for their capable help in teaching. Their willingness to be of service to the school is an inspiration to us, for w e k n o w that this added work of teaching is no small burden in their already busy days. T h e untiring efforts of Miss Platz in the classroom and in ward supervising have their reward in improved nursing care of the patients on the part of the students. W e are also grateful to the Chinese supervisors w h o willingly take on the added w o r k of teaching. Enou g h cannot be said of the loyalty of these supervisors to the superintendent of nurses, to the school, to the institution as a whole. Their spirit cannot be excelled. They are all active Christians and their prayers, I a m certain, have been one of the means of strength for us this year.

W e have tried also to raise the standards of nursing at A m o y Lying-in Hospital. A shortage of graduate nurses has made it impossible to give them another nurse as they need, but the nurses w e have are ready to do what they can in the w a y of progress. At present w e have one. supervisor and two midwifery students at this hospital, w h o do both night and day work. I include the supervisor here in m y comments above on loyalty.

A t H o p e Hospital w e n o w have five graduate nurses, one of w h o m alternates by months doing night and day duty. W e are handicapped by not being able to get a permanent supervisor for night duty— the alternate month students must be in charge, and the responsibility of 60 to 100

patients or more is really too great for them. It requires more of our watching and guidance, too. This year w e have three midwifery students and twenty-four student, nurses.

T h e calls for graduate nurses come faster than w e can produce them.. YVe ourselves should like more. Up-country hospitals come to us with requests. At present this is the only registered School of Nursing in the vicinity. O u r numbers are increasing, and as the public continues to appreciate more and more the value of Christian nurses parents will be happier to let their educated daughters come.

T h e year has been very happy and very busy. T o be allowed to wor k in a Christian hospital with a Christian school is indeed a great privilege and w e thank G o d for it. W e thank all our friends for their prayers for us and w e beseech them1 to continue thus to remember us.

C H A N G - C H O WEvangelistic Work

Last term one of our Bible W o m e n went to the A m o y W o m a n ’s School to take advantage of the “refresher’s course” proposed by the Mission. Since then she has been out in the field doing very good work. O w i n g to the lack of funds one Bible w o m a n was asked to resign in June. It seems a pity whe n the work is so needed and the workers are so few. T h e third Bible w o m a n has been in the field all the year. All day she goes out witnessing, in the evening she teaches men, w o m e n and children to read, and on Sunday she preaches. These faithful workers do a valuable piece of w o r k and bring m a n y into the Kingdom. In one place as m a n y as 20 pupils studied for a period of six weeks while the Bible w o m a n was there.

Children’s Meetings— There is always a call for Children’s Meetings. T h e meeting went on at the Center during the year. T h e group is divided into three groups so that the older ones can learn to read. W e use the catechism for our text book.

T h e meeting at the North Gate is conducted in a private home. YVe started a reading class there this year and, so far, it seems to be very popular.

T h e meeting at the W e s t Gate is held in an old-time school. W e were invited to come by the old teacher, w h o is an Elder in the church and a very earnest Christian. H e has about 26 pupils from 8 to IS years of age and they are all keen to sing and to hear about the Gospel. W e started the wor k at this school in January. T h e hour I spend at the W e s t Gate is the happiest in the week. T h e boys have h y m n books-and w e never sing enough to satisfy them. T h e rest of us are sung hoarse but the boys could go. on forever. At Christmas w e gave each boy a small N e w Testament. Nothing could have pleased them more. Every Sunday they come out in a body to attend church and it seems impossible for them to settle d o w n until they have caught our eye and smiled and bowed a half dozen times to us.

At Christmas these three big groups invited three other groups to join us at the Girls’ School for our program. The y came from the North, East, South and YVest. A s each group came in a body they ma d e quite an impression on the city.

General News— The; Chang-chow branch of. the H o m e Missionary ■ Society contributed $152. during the year. W e have nearly 100 members.

Countless Evangelistic groups go out witnessing each week. A number of Bible classes are held, throughout the city.

Each month a Union Prayer Meeting is held for the w o m e n of - thefour churches. Elizabeth G. Bruce

Educational WorkChang-chow Girls’ School— Number of teachers: full time, S women,

1 m a n ; part time, 3 women, 1 man. N u m b e r of pupils: first term, 161; second term, 142. A little over half the pupils are from Christian homes.

T h e Mission contributed $698. and. $1561. was raised on the field. The school is working towards self support, but unless business conditions pick up it will be some years before this can be realized. T h e school is “in the red” $65 this year and if it had not been for the generous help of a few missionary friends it would have been in the hole a great deal deeper. Last spring the Board of Managers asked Mr. V a n der M e e r and Miss Bruce to serve on the Board.

A t Christmas time the school suffered a great loss.in the death of Mr. Lim, the Principal’s husband. All these years he has been a loyal friend to the school. H e was Secretary and Treasurer of the Board of Managers. During the Principal’s absence in A m o y , caring for her husband, the teachers carried all her w o r k to save the expense of a substitute teacher. Never once did they complain but at all times showed a beautiful Christian spirit.

All through the year, Bible and chapel went on as usual— outside of school hours. In the early fall a personal workers’ band was formed to try to win the non-Christian girls to Christ. After the Su n g meetings a number of evangelistic bands were formed. These went out each week. O n Sunday afternoon some of the graduates came and helped in the Sunday School. A number of the pupils brought their younger brothers and sisters to this class. T w o of our fine teachers joined the church during the year.

A t Christmas the school gave their program for the five Children’s Meetings of the city— and contributed over fifteen dollars for the Leper wo r k and for the poor people in the Teng-chew district.

Women’s School— In June w e graduated our first pupil. She studied four years and did excellent work. W e were glad to give her a diploma. She is n o w a preacher’s wife, working in an up-country chapel. For two years she did practical work, helping in the Children’s Meetings. She also plays the organ very nicely. During the year seven pupils studied organ, one a pastor’s wife and two others wives' of preachers. W e feel this is no small contribution to the Church.

T w o girls from the Teng-chow district are studying and preparing for Bible W o m a n ’s work. The y are making rapid progress. T w o of the older girls help with the Children’s Meeting at the North gate each week. They also give a chapel talk once a week. Thirteen pupils were enrolled this term. T h e students did all the cooking and cleaning in the school to help save expense. Every free minute they were busy knitting, embroidering or doing bead work. Progress was ma d e in every line but singing, and of that I despair.

Bui Sian-si did most of the teaching. O n Saturdays she would go out with a preaching band. She is an Elder in the church and is Treasurer of the Chang-chow branch of the W o m a n ’s H o m e Missionary Society. She is a very fine Christian and all the students love her.

E lizabeth G. B ruce. In and Around Talmage College— During the year 1934 m y wo r k was mostly in and around the school. I taught three classes English and con­tinued the usual class in Hygiene in the British Middle School for Girls.

All our Talmage students were given a physical examination at the beginning of the term and they have been more appreciative of the help I could give them during the year. Several n e w students came with sores several months old, so for some time I had six dressings a day, besjdes treatments for scabies, ear-ache, conjunctivitis, etc. T h e boys have also improved in their spirit of co-operation and are more willing to attend to the needs of those students w h o are ill in bed.

After the Sung Revival Meetings in the fall groups went out preaching and teaching. After joining one of the groups w e started home-visitation and teaching women, and organized a Children’s Meeting for the youngsters near our school. This has m a d e for more friendly relations a m o n g our neighbors. O n Sunday w e gather a group of w o m e n and children and take them to church.

In spite of mothers-in-law some mothers have allowed m e to bathe their new-born babies and help get them on a three hour feeding schedule.

TONG-ANEvangelistic Work

Evangelistic Centers— The five Centers which were opened for weekly meetings at the close of last year have continued. T h e Chinese workers have been very faithful in teaching the w o m e n to read and in explaining to them the W a y of Salvation. Near the close of the year it was with great joy that the workers came together for a prayer service to thank the Master for allowing us to see so soon some fruits of our labor. Each Center has at least one person or family that has left heathenism and is learning to walk the “Heavenly R o a d ”. O n e w o m a n came out boldly but later, through trouble and persistent urgings of her relatives, seemed to be going back. N o w , however, she is more earnest and w e believe her faith is growing. O n e family was led to see the folly of living in an old tumble-down house while their n e w h o m e stood empty because of superstitious fear. In spite of the ridicule of neighbors they m oved into their n e w h o m e and pasted Bible verses on the doors and windows. F r o m another Center t w o families come to church every Sunday. For them the happiest days in the week are Sunday and the day the meeting is held in their place. During the week they often say to each other, “So m a n y more days and it is Sunday and w e can go to church.” O n e Center is definitely a Children’s Meeting. T h e meeting is well attended and the children have ma d e good progress in learning h y m n s and Bible stories. S o m e of the older boys and girls have greatly pleased us because they not only remember the lessons from week to week but. at the end of the term remembered the important points of each lesson story. Surely the seed sown in these hearts will bring forth fruit.

Woman’s Missionary Society— A Hospital Auxiliary was organized in order to help the members of the Missionary Society realize that they should give not only their money but also their w o r k and time to the Lord. • T h e plan is to meet once a month to. spend an afternoon working for the hospital. T h e y fold gauze, m a k e cotton balls, sew garments and do what­ever w o r k the nurse can find for them. Th e y sing while they are busy and before they separate they go to the wards for a short service. T h e w o m e n w h o cannot go out to preach and teach are more eager to belong to the Auxiliary.

A Mothers’ meeting was started in the n e w year with the purpose of teaching young mothers h o w to take better care of their babies, h o w to give their children Christian training, and h o w to be good Christian mothers. Mrs. Koeppe mad e a splendid leader and w e are sorry that w e have not been able to carry it on while she is away.

During the s u m m e r fourteen w o m e n went to A m o y to attend the conference which is sponsored each year by the Leaders of the W o m a n ’s Missionary Society of South Fukien. All w h o attended came back very enthusiastic. It was very evident that they had received a n e w vision of the Lord and Master. They not only have more joy in their Christian life but they also are mote eager to tell of this joy to others.

Up-Country Visiting— More peaceful political conditions and the change in the W o m e n ’s School program ma d e it possible for us to spend a greater

amount of time in the District. Five short-term schools or institutes were held in different chapels throughout the District during the year, two of which were carried on entirely by Chinese workers. In October a very successful school was held at Eng-te-thau with about 33 in atten­dance. Th e y were interested in Bible study and those w h o could not read were keen to learn. A few young w o m e n came w h o had not been to church before. O n e of them was beaten by her husband and mother-in-law, w h o both opposed Christianity, but she continued to come because she said she wanted to become a Christian. T w o young w o m e n are prepar­ing to be baptized. 1

In Nove m b e r Miss Vander Linden and I spent two weeks in the An-khoe District visiting three of the chapels and holding a short term school at Ku-khoe for ten days. This was a great encouragement to the young preacher and his wife and helped them realize the importance of teaching the people to read. S o m e n e w ones became interested and have continued to come to the services. Twenty-seven studied regularly and even a few m e n took up the lessons with the w o m e n and children. A s w e were leaving they showered upon us gifts of cakes and fruits to sustain us on the long journey and some had even collected a little m oney to help pay our travel expenses.

Hospital Evangelism— T h e faithful Bible W o m a n at the Hospital re­ports that she feels certain of ten patients w h o came in knowing nothing about the Gospel and left with a fixed determination to be Christians. O n e young m a n w h o had his feet badly burned while carrying the idols through the fire listened gladly to the message of a G o d of Love. During his illness he learned to pray and often sang some of the hymns. H e told the Bible W o m a n he had decided to be a Christian. Another pitiful case was a boy eighteen years old w h o was badly burned while burning idola­trous paper. After hearing the Gospel he realized his sinful condition and longed to k n o w more about worshipping the True God. T h e Bible W o m a n taught him and later he told her that when the pain was intense he found relief praying to God. Since he has been in the hospital for several weeks he has memorized hymns and Bible verses and n o w he is learning to read. His one desire is to lead his little sister and his mother to k n o w the “doctrine”. T h e Gospel story fell like music on the ears of an old w o m a n w h o came in with sore eyes. She was eager to learn the choruses and Bible verses. Perhaps because she could not see she really seemed to be more in earnest and repeated these songs whole­heartedly. She, too, left the hospital desiring to follow Christ. A young m a n from a heathen h o m e was soon impressed by the Christian message. Being able to walk he came downstairs every evening for prayers and Bible study. After he was well he prolonged his stay in order to learn more of the W a y of Salvation. H e was greatly helped by the local revival meetings and has promised to read the Bible and pray every day. H e has gone back to his village with a happy heart, eager to tell others the reason for his joy. There are others w h o promised to read the Bible every day and some w h o have been attending church since they left the hospital. Every evening there are classes held in the chapel, and patients w h o are able attend. S o m e are taught to read the Romanized, others hymns, and some study the Bible. This is followed by a prayer service.

Christmas Observance— O u r report would be incomplete if we» did not say something about Christmas. Formerly some of the school teachers and pupils came early to sing carols, but this year the w o m e n wanted a share in the singing, too. Plans were m a d e whereby the school should begin and as they went along others would join them and all meet at the church at six A. M. for a prayer service. A t 2 o’clock the school was out singing carols, and shortly after three the w o m e n appeared. W h y so early? The y were so happy they could not wait any longer. It was a

beautiful moonlight morning as w e went singing d o w n the road, and the w o m e n seemed inspired with the true Christmas joy, for their faces were aglow with happiness. Before five o’clock w e started the prayer meeting with over a hundred present. It was a great event. T o think of being surrounded by heathen darkness, with people bound by fear and sin, and w e singing of the Saviour w h o came to bring peace and love,— it did thrill our hearts.

For all w h o have helped through their prayers and gifts to m a k e this w o r k possible w e give thanks, and w e ask you to continue in prayer for the w o m e n and for the workers that w e m a y so abide in Christ that w e shall be able to be spiritual leaders, helping these w o m e n ever onward in the Church of God. R uth BroekemaEducational Work

Tong-an Women’s School— In the beginning of the year, with a de­crease in appropriation, w e found it impossible to carry on the wor k in the W o m e n ’s School as had been done in former years. Fees could not be raised because of poor harvests. Therefore, instead of a long school term for a few w e changed to two sessions a term of two weeks each in order to benefit more w o m e n in a shorter period of time.

At the first session 22 w o m e n came for instruction. S o m e were not able to read; others could enter Bible classes. T h e diligent ones made great progress and were surprised to see h o w soon they could read. At the close some of the “n e w hearers” testified that they understood the “doctrine” so m u c h better and the Christians felt they had received spiritual food which would help them live a more consecrated life. But the great­est evidence of the success of the school was shown in the complete change of a sad old lady. T h e Bible W o m a n brought her, as she was desirous of having her learn to read. Not only was the old lady eager to read but she was also keen to learn the songs and listened attentively to the Gospel message. Not, however, until near the close of the session did she realize that True Happiness, is found only in Christ. W h a t joy flooded her heart whe n she decided to give up her idols and trust Christ for salvation. She was so happy she did not k n o w what to do. W h e n the second session opened1 she returned, longing to k n o w more about God.

A t the second session 35 others entered w h o were in various stages ofunderstanding the W a y of, Salvation.

T h e Fall session was less successful, for it was during the harvest season and only 11 came. H o w e v e r there was one young w o m a n w h o mad e such unusual progress in the study of the Christian Truth that w e felt it was well worth while. '§he is a bright young w o m a n whose husband died shortly after they married and, as she was a stranger in her hus­band’s home, it was not queer she wanted to leave. In looking for a peaceful, happy place, she heard about the W o m e n ’s School and came to “look see”. T h e happy faces of the women, the spirit of love that wasmanifested a m o n g them and the whole atmosphere of the school mad eher decide to try it out. Because of family difficulties she studied only a short time. During the time between leaving school and returning for the Fall session she studied at home, making such progress as is seldom found. Before the session closed she said that she wanted to be a Chris­tian. She is the only one from her village w h o comes to church. Truly it seems another case of 1 the Lord’s calling His Own .

W e ask prayer that in these school sessions w e m a y be able to teach the w o m e n to read the Bible, to help them to g r o w in the knowledge of Jesus Christ, and to be of service to H i m in the Church.

Report for 1934V E L L O R E

Evangelistic WorkThe Hancock Memorial Social Center— Down through the centuries

m e n have been building, some for time and some for eternity. W e are trying to do both. O u r House of Prayer and Kindergarten Shelter were finished after writing our report last year. W e have builded a temple to the glory of G o d and w e are glad that the Hindu women, together with the children, enjoy worshiping in it. T h e Hindu people tell us that w e have m a d e a real contribution to the spiritual need of the people.

O u r daily Chapel and religious meetings are Indianized as far as possible and the people enjoy the simplicity of these gatherings.

O u r Kindergarten Shelter, in the form of a substantial shed, is very useful to the little ones and is m u c h admired by our m a n y visitors.

O u r school is n o w a Higher Elementary School and it is growing rapidly. W e have a daily attendance of nearly 250 pupils, some of th widows and married women. Almost weekly w e have to refuse admisSi to the children of eager parents. All our teachers are serving on the sacrificial basis, and the spirit of both teachers and pupils in loyalty to the school and in appreciation of the Christian principles for which the school stands has never been better. T h e withdrawal of m u c h of the H o m e Church’s support has caused us to face the stern realities of life with fresh courage. T h e School Literary Society and Parents’ Meetings are conducted regularly. '

O u r A s h r a m life is another phase of the compound activities. O u r afternoon classes are regularly conducted for those w h o can no longer study at school. Wi t h our fortnightly lectures and vespers on Sundays w e teach the older w o m e n of Christ. W e have four centers in the city where

meetings are held for w o m e n in Hindu homes. .Simple dramas, given in our open-air Playhouse, wonderfully please

and instruct our women.T h e house-to-house visitation still continues through the work of our

Bible W o m e n , and not a few of our Hindu friends seek our prayers and welcome our message of Christ’s love.

W e are endeavoring to connect up all our religious and secular work with the A s h r a m at the center. (Mrs. Henry) Lavina D. M. H onegger

Viruthampet— Six year old Erskine prays, “Oh, dear God, please put a fence of angels all round our compound so that the cholera and small-pox and sore eye flies can’t get in”— and his mother daily echoes his prayer. For here, on the Training School Compound, w e are closely ringed by villages, and little groups of children come to our Model School every day from homes where there are contagious diseases, and their parents con­stantly visit the bungalow with every kind of request.

O u r wor k in the two neighboring villages has gone on this year along the same lines as before. T w o mornings a week the Bible W o m a n collects and encourages sick people to come to the Hospital Ambulance Dispensary under the trees at our gateway. Three mornings she visits in the homes,— 36 of them,— following through a regular course of Bible stories. In the afternoons she teaches reading to girls in their homes or goes a m o n g the w o m e n in the little Christian community, teaching them Bible verses and h y m n s and helping them to understand and join in the Sunday church services. There is a w o m a n belonging to the outcaste section of Viruthampet w h o wants to be baptized, and the Bible W o m a n is teaching her the simple facts she must understand before the pastor will accept her for baptism. In all this w o r k I join in as regularly as I can. This is only a bare outline of our duties, for w e are all on call day or night for any of the tragedies or celebrations of the village homes.

During a week in September the Training School students were in camp in three more remote villages, separated from our compound by one, three and four miles of dyked rice fields, and the Bible W o m a n and I visited these villages daily, preaching, advising diets for sick babies, urging the sick to come to our dispensary, and being friendly with these people w h o send their children to our school and come to us with numerous needs.

Please pray for this work, that all our attempts to help these backward w o m e n m a y be richly blessed by H i m w h o gave so m u c h of His time and love to village folk. (Mrs. Mason) E leanor G. O lcott

CHITT O O REvangelistic Work

Bible Women— It has been a year of steady, regular work, with not so m u c h color in it as there has been in other years, perhaps; yet in the grayer days germinate the seeds for something beautiful ahead.

During this year two Bible W o m e n have been pensioned and the remaining two have been given half-time wo r k and a 5 0 % cut in salary. O n e of them, Mrs. R a t n a m Isaiah, writes: “I a m so thankful for the health and strength m y Heavenly Father has given m e to do His glorious work a m o n g young and old in the Hindu homes. Tho u g h m y salary was reduced to half-pay, I m a d e up m y mind not to reduce m y service in His holy cause. I k n o w that you will join us in this wo r k by prayer through the coming year— a prayer of hope that G o d will bless your wor k there and ours here, that His K i n g d o m m a y come into every heart in the world.”

T h e other Chittoor Bible W o m a n , Mrs. Joseph, writes: “T h e people greet m e with smiling faces. I a m n o w teaching the children of the mothers w h o m I used to teach some years ago. I was able to teach one young w i d o w sufficiently in her h o m e to m a k e it possible for her to go to school now. I believe that your prayers are with us and that in the near future a great change is going to be brought about.”

Church— In the Chittoor Church a group has been formed which is looking forward to carrying on voluntary personal Evangelistic work. It is a group in the making, trying to find the w a y through prayer, and through self-discipline, waiting for His guidance for use in the future wo r k of building His K i n g d o m through the med i u m of the Church.

Gridley Girls’ School— T h e last Friday of every month has been the school’s Competition D a y in Recitation, Singing, Sewing and Hand-work. Simple prizes were given to the best competitors. There was a fine spirit a m o n g the Hindu as well as a m o n g the Christian children, w h o refused to be jealous or discouraged if they got no prizes.

This year one of the Gridley School girls is to be graduated from the Sherman Memorial Girls’ High School, though usually the Hindu girls do not have the opportunity to continue studying beyond the Fifth Class.

T h e Sunday School connected with this school has been growing in interest year by year. This year w e have a Children’s Church to which the Christian and Hindu children come. Their little hearts and minds are busy with plans to collect m oney to buy Christmas presents for their village sisters w h o have so little. M ary E. G eeghEducational W o r k

Beattie Memorial Training School and Model School— This has been a year of faith and hard labor. O u r school opened with one teacher less than usual. Another change was the coming of Miss Jessie Paul in place of a teacher w h o left last year. W e have a Junior Training Class of twenty added to the Senior class of twenty-four. W e are glad to have one Hindu day-scholar and w e hope that more Hindu students will join the school in the future. '

T h e annual school inspection was a pleasant change in the regular work of study, play, domestic w o r k and gardening. T h e students take a lively interest in the Girl Guide M o v e m e n t as Rangers. T h e Rangers and little Blue Birds were inspired with n e w enthusiasm by the enjoyable visit of Miss Croft-Watts, the All-India Guide Trainer. A few of the teachers and students are taking extra drawing lessons in preparation for the Government Drawing Examination. Th e y will then be qualified drawing teachers.

A t the beginning of October Chittoor had heavy rains. During one of the stormy nights part of the Training School hostel roof came down. Fortunately the students all escaped injury. T h e students have had to vacate the hostel which had been their h o m e and go to live in one of the Sherman Memorial Hi g h School’s cottages, which was vacant.

This year the Model School was decreased in numbers because we had less boarding concessions to offer. T h e little children are happy and lively as usual. The y are doing their share in contributing to the Self­denial Fun d for the Arcot Assembly by taking part in an entertainment and representing children of other lands. Th e y are also spending some of their Sunday School m oney in making little dresses for the village children w h o are less fortunate than they are.

K itty E benezer, Acting HeadmistressSherman Memorial Girts" High School— O u r staff has been reduced

by three, and the rest of us have to divide the wo r k a m o n g us. W e cannot afford n e w books, n e w maps, materials for sewing and hand work, materials for practical H o m e Science lessons or for the other projects that were once our specialty. Far worse than any material loss, however, is the loss of so m a n y girls of the type w h o m this School was founded to help.

However, w e still exist thankfully and carry on even without all the • trimmings. W e are still striving to give to every girl w h o comes to us the best training of which w e are capable. W e are blessed in having a loyal, devoted group of teachers, w h o carry on cheerfully although their salary decreases in proportion as their teaching load increases. W e believe that long before our material structure was complete a spiritual

22 Woman’s Board of Foreign Missions .structure was being built which will outlast our brick walls.

Girls of this conservative Hindu town are beginning to come to us. Even if the girls of our Christian community must give up the luxury of boarding-school there is a big wo r k w e can do for the Hindu and M o h a m ­m edan and Christian girls of this town of Chittoor, w h o want and need what .we have to give them. W e wonder if our adversity is an indication from G o d that here should lie our chief service in the future.

W h e n w e count our blessings, one of the biggest of them is the loan of Miss Clara Coburn, w h o came to us in October, fresh from her fur­lough, whe n w e were tired and discouraged, and helped us to finish the year’s work- with n e w energy and enthusiasm.

Miss Doris Wells directs the religious education of the School in a w a y that has brought g;reat benefit both to teachers and taught. D a y by day w e are trying to gr o w in the power to “Laugh,— and Love,— and Lift.”

Evangelistic W o r kThere are two Bible W o m e n working in Madanapalle town and three

in villages. Their salaries are reduced but they have continued working as usual, with no grumbling, though they have had a hard time trying to mak e ends meet. O n e of them said: “If w e should give up this work it would be like drawing clouds across the sun and m e n would be like tender plants that have sprouted a m o n g thorns or like lamps that have gone out.”

W e held our third S u m m e r School, June 14th to 18th (1934), for Bible W o m e n , catechists’ wives and selected delegates from our Christian villages at the Madanapalle Girls’ Boarding School while the girls were aw a y for the holidays. Fifty-eight w o m e n attended, most of them being village women, w h o came from twenty-three different centers.

In the town the Hindu women, inspired by the Bible W o m e n , have been making garments to be given to the poor children in our Christian villages at Christmas. Last year w e provided small garments for 500 children. T h e Dorcas Society supplies were augmented by baby clothes from the precious Sewing Guild boxes and by gifts from friends.

T h e Mothers’ Meetings begun last year for the w o m e n of the M a d a n a ­palle congregation, w h o are mostly illiterate day laborers, have been held weekly whe n other meetings did not interfere.

Friends at home, again w e ask of you your earnest prayers for this work, for w e remember always that it is not by money, not by might nor power, but by the Spirit of the Lord that h u m a n efforts must come to fruition. Sarella TeW inkelEducational W o r k

Girls' Secondary School— W h e n the Assembly. decided that the school be continued without any change, as it filled a vital place in the life of the Madanapalle church and town, w e were very happy and set to work with renewed vigor,and enthusiasm to keep up the traditions of the institu­tion.

A s usual the school has shown its readiness to cooperate with the Church and public in the varied activities of Sunday School, Harvest Festival, Health Week, Education Week, etc. T h e Rangers, Guides and Bluebirds meet regularly and have very delightful times. Eleven of the older girls joined the church.

T h e Hostel has had to bear the loss of a boarding grant this year. It pains one to keep back from the Hostel so m a n y of the village girls w h o seek admission but must be refused on account of the extra expense.

W e want to thank the Foreign Board and the Arcot Assembly for giving this school the chance to carry on its Christian service and influence. W e all thank the M a r y Lott Lyles Hospital and its staff, past and present, for their willing help. Above all, our hearts brim with gratitude to the

Great Teacher, without W h o s e manifold blessings w e could not have carried on and W h o s e guidance w e need for the future.„ . . C handra R oyal, HeadmistressMedical Work

Mary Lott Lyles Hospital— In the medical w o r k on the Plateau w e have seen h o w wonderfully G o d carries on His plans and fulfills His promises. W e closed the year with a larger in-patient number than ever before and without a financial deficit. W e closed with the certain knowledge that it is His work, that H e has provided for our needs and has helped us to carry on with less funds and more faith than formerly.

It is true that there have been no replacements in the w a y of worn-out instruments and other articles. W e purchased no n e w books and have allowed supplies to run low, but w e have done all w e could for our patients and they are realizing more and more our mutual dependence. They rely upon us for medical help and w e 'rely upon them for financial aid and they and we' together must depend upon our Father for everything needed.

O u r medical and maternity w o r k are steadily growing and w e cannot be thankful enough for the improved building mad e possible for us four years ago. It does look so m u c h better than the unfinished original build­ing. A s usual, respiratory diseases double any other diseases coming to u s ; then stomach, intestinal or eye diseases. A s w e are general prac­titioners w e get a few of almost all other ailments mentioned in statistical forms. W e have a daily average attendance of 75 at our dispensary and our in-patients average 37 a day. Louisa H. H art, M.D.

1934 has marked another year of onward struggle and, w e trust, advancement along m a n y lines. Each day has brought its o w n problems with its o w n responsibilities. W i t h appropriations cut more than one-third, w e still began the year courageously, knowing that the responsibility was not ours but His, resolving that if w e could no longer do what w e would, w e would do what w e could and trust H i m for the rest. - .

O u r staff has been cut three times in salary and our w o r k people are on a very low wage. W e have explained to them the reason and they have accepted it. N o t one has left our employ, and the complaints have been few, and on the whole all have worked harmoniously. Medicine bills have been reduced by writing prescriptions an’d having patients get .the drugs from the local chemists. M a n y very poor patients cannot buy medicines and these w e help gratuitously.

W e are hoping to retain a few of our o w n graduate nurses this year, since I a m leaving early in 1935 and Miss Brumler will be more than busy with hospital patients to look after and with nurses to train as well. All the nurses in our two senior classes are n o w members of the All-India Christian Nurses’ Auxiliary. A s they leave us to take up positions in other places our prayers follow them with the hope that wherever they m a y be they will never forget that they belong to a large body of Christian nurses in India and that they m a y ever be loyal and true to its standards.

Educational Work P A L M A N E R

Women’s Industrial School— W h e n appropriations were reduced at the beginning of the year, pur Village Extension W o r k stopped. Enrollments again cut d o w n and Miss Geegh m oved to Chittoor, w e felt discouraged and thought that the doors of real service had closed. But whe n G o d closed those doors for us, H e opened others and w e found n e w fields of service, which w e have been working, right near home. O u r four teachers have stood by in a noble w a y and never has any one of them murmu r e d about the reduced salaries and the increased duties they were asked to take on. Th e y have shown a wonderful spirit and have been a constant source of inspiration to us. . .

O u r enrollment has been reduced to 62 including the 6 pupil-teachers in the Training Class. O u r sales and orders of cross-stitch w o r k have been m u c h reduced again this year. Therefore w e have not been able to give wo r k to as m a n y of our cottage workers as w e did before. After finishing up the orders from the Kodai Sale, w e have been busy sending out parcels for Exhibits and Sales to various parts of India and to Ceylon and hope to get some orders. W e are ever trying to keep our wo r k at the highest standard and recently w e were rewarded for this effort by receiving the Gold Medal for our cross-stitch wo r k at the Mysore Dasara Exhibition. This has been an inspiration to the girls to do their best. Besides the cross-stitch work, the girls have daily instruction in Bible study, Tamil, arithmetic, drafting and sewing, child care and h o m e nursing, gardening, poultry raising and cooking. All their training is definitely meant to help them to be better home-makers in their villages.

W e have had two bad epidemics of malaria and influenza and w e had to call for help from the Madanapalle Hospital. W e are thankful that all the girls recovered and thankful to the W o m a n ’s Board for making it possible for us to have the little Hospital cottage. It is a great blessing and comfort to us.

T h e older girls and teachers took a very keen interest in the w o r k of Evangelistic Week. The y divided into groups and every house— Christian and Hindu— in the village was visited by them during that week. They have kept up the visiting and give Christian instruction in these homes. W e pray that through the efforts of our girls and teachers these families m a y be brought into the Christian fellowship.

This year twenty-two of our girls have joined the church on confession of their faith. W e are very grateful for Rev. and,Mrs. H. J. Scudder’s help and inspiration both in the school and in all church activities. It is our hope and prayer that they m a y continue with us in Palmaner for a long time.

Each day w e have the motto of our school not only on the school wall but also in our hearts. W e pray that our girls as they go out from here m a y continue to live their motto, “Whatsoever ye do, do it heartily as unto the Lord”. G o d has blessed us and guided us through this difficult year and has mad e us realize that our power is not in quantity but in quality of the Spirit. W e ask our friends in India and in America to continue their prayers for all these girls w h o go back to their villages to m a k e them better places in which to live. C. W illamina Jongewaard

P U N G A N U REvangelistic Work

Because of the cuts in appropriations, our one Bible W o m a n was put on half salary and her work reduced. She is still visiting m a n y homes where she is regarded as a beloved friend as well as a teacher and she is called upon to share in the joys and sorrows alike of her pupils. H e r o w n h o m e is a happy place of Christian fellowship.

Hindu Girls’ School— T h e school is receiving no appropriation from the Assembly but is on, the “grant basis”. T h e teachers receive what is left from the Government grant to the school after all incidental expenses are deducted. This means a drastic cut in all salaries with consequent hardships, but the teachers are cheerfully carrying on. The y do their best to keep up the standard of efficiency and to m a k e the school a center of Christian influence, which it undoubtedly is. Credit must be given to the headmaster for his untiring efforts and energy expended for the school. Medical W o r k

It was with regret that w e learned before w e left America last year that the M a r y Isabel Allen Dispensary had been closed and that there was to be no appropriation from Assembly funds for medical w o r k in Punganur, where w e had been stationed. In spite of receipts from patients

it was impossible to think of opening the Hospital and maintaining the necessary staff of nurse, compounder and other helpers without subsidiary funds. T h e thought came to us to utilize a small side room and adjacent bathroom in our bungalow. Wit h the equipment w e had bought for the Hospital six years ago these rooms were furnished as an office and treatment room, and the venture was an immediate success.

. In the eight months w e have been in Punganur w e have treated 462 out-patients, with a total of 1,143 treatments. In-patients have n u m ­bered ten, confinement cases seven, minor operations eleven and house visits 49. M a n y patients were treated free or at a fee m u c h less than the cost of the drugs supplied. One-half cent to two cents is the usual rate, while those w h o can afford to do so are asked to pay more.

T h e M a r y Lott Lyles Hospital in Madanapalle has been a great con­venience in sending certain drugs and made-up solutions and sterile supplies. Because of this help I can manage without a compounder and without a sterilizer. Part of m y routine has been to spend a day or two a week at the Hospital in Madanapalle to help in the general work there, the surgery and the examination of school children.

It has been m y privilege to m a k e three or four trips into the District with Mr. Korteling, sometimes holding clinics, and on occasions working with a doctor and midwife established in a village by examining patients and giving health talks to women. At our local Child Welfare Centre we are holding regular ante-natal clinics and it is gratifying to have a half dozen w o m e n come out. ' .. W e feel that in this time of retrenchment and cut appropriations this type of wo r k is worth developing. O u r aim is not to m a k e m oney but to have in Punganur a self-supporting medical work which can also take care of a certain number of charity patients. W e have an opportunity to m a k e contacts with all kinds and classes of people, low caste, high caste and M o h a m m e d a n . O u r great desire is to win friends and to win them for Christ. W e pray constantly that w e m a y not fail our Master but m a y be more and more like H i m in our relationships with others and so draw them to Himself. (Mrs. Ralph G.)

Hindu Girls’ Schools— The Afcot and Kaveripak Schools have been carrying on, though it means financial hardship for those w h o have to support families on the reduced incomes. O n e headmaster, w h e n asked whether it would not be advisable to turn the school over to Government, said: “If w e did that w e could no longer teach about Christ. It is in the planting of the seeds of Christianity in the hearts of the children that w e do our work.. Even the Hindus realize that.” A n d so, regardless of the sacrifices involved, he is willing to carry on, and the seed is being sown. O n e little Hindu girl told her family that she no longer wanted to worship a stone swami but a Saviour w h o loved her. So the Hindu Girls’ Schools are laying foundation stones for Christian character and life.

N elle ScudderT h e Central Hindu Girls’ School has been running on the “grant basis”

since last August, and it is very difficult to manage on such a small amount. O u r best teachers have left us, and the children do not come regularly since w e have no conductress. T h e School has Standards I to V, and our average attendance ranges from 70 to 80. It is not at all encouraging to w o r k under this system; still w e try to do our very best.

M rs. P ackianathan, Headmistress and ManagerChristian Social Center— Evangelistic and social service is rendered by

the Christian w o m e n in the town. T h e Bible W o m e n teach the Hindu ladies reading, writing and singing. A s soon as the pupils are able to read and write, they use a book called, “Jesus Christ and His Disciples.” Christian lyrics also are taught.

Ope n confessions are made n o w and then by individuals, telling h o w Jesus Christ has helped them w h e n they were in trouble. A young Hindu lady came to offer her thank-offering at the town Ingathering Festival and came to m y house and had a long talk about her troubles. She said with firm faith; “Though I a m deserted by m y husband, yet I a m loved by Jesus Christ. H e is m y comfort.” T h e good seeds sown in the hearts are not lost.

During the Evangelistic Campaign W e e k w e had special meetings for Hindu w o m e n in five different centers. Although it rained a great deal at that time, this did not stop the w o m e n from attending. Special meetings were held after dark for the M o h a m m e d a n sisters, w h o enjoy very m u c h the meetings and the fellowship. A gramaphone and a good light would help to bring these w o m e n together oftener.

T h e Social Center classes are going on as usual and the young w o m e n w h o attend express their faith in Christ very freely. A special Bible Class is conducted for the uneducated Christian women. Almost every month Mrs. L. R. Scudder gives us talks on Christian service and the victorious life and these renew our strength.

Whenever it is possible village camps are held. There was a one-day conference for village w o m e n in a convenient center and all the Christian w o m e n from the villages around attended. It was a happy day for them and us. W e all miss the help of Mrs. V a n Vranken. W e cannot do as mu c h as w e cOuld do were she here with us, yet w e try to do our best in her absence. (Mrs.) A r p ut h a m W illiamEducational W o r k

Higher Elementary Girls’ Boarding School— T h e days of school follow one another with little variation. There are hours of study and play, house­cleaning, gardening and poultry raising. At all times there is the striving to teach the ideals of the noblest living and the worthiest thinking. T h e children conduct, with help, their o w n Christian Endeavor meetings, and some of the older girls teach in the Junior Sunday School. M a n y children are enthusiastic Blue Birds and Guides.

W h e n I see the shining happy faces of the children, I praise G o d that H e has given m e the opportunity to teach His love and salvation to the little children of India. W h e n I see the Christian service and devotion of the teachers and matron w h o help to carry His message to the children, I realize that w e have placed the Torch of Christ in worthy hands.

In October w e all joined to m a k e Evangelistic W e e k a success, a few of the older girls joining with the teachers w h o held meetings in Hindu homes, and the younger children giving a Christian D r a m a at the Social Center. In April all the English Standard girls decided to give their lives to Christ and became communicant members of the church.

Bible Women— O n e of the two Bible W o m e n has done evangelistic wo r k in the Dispensary every morning and has visited Hindu homes in the afternoon. T h e second w o m a n writes with enthusiasm about the eager­ness of the Hindu w o m e n w h o hear the Gospel message. She gives her Sunday evenings to w o r k a m o n g children in villages near Tindivanam. Both of these w o m e n have had 5 0 % salary cuts.

M o r e caste women, are reached through the Dispensary and Hindu Girls’ School than through the direct Zenana visiting, the Bible W o m e n being received most gladly in the homes of the lowly. This is probably true in all places where there are Hospitals or Dispensaries or Christian schools for Hindu girls.

Hindu Girls’ School— T h e school mourns the loss of its fine head­mistress, Mrs. Annie Martyn Ponuraj, w h o has gone to Katpadi because her husband’s w o r k for the Mission and Assembly Treasurer mad e it necessary to transfer them.

T h e school has mad e progress in every way. All the teachers worked with increased enthusiasm, to the satisfaction of all concerned. This School is especially proud of its group of married girl pupils and of a widow, 27 years old, w h o is trying to fit herself for teacher’s training. T h e Inspectress reported, “a well conducted school, doing satisfactory work and making a fair contribution to permanent literacy.”Medical Work (Mrs. Walter T.) E llen B. Scudder, M.D.

This year the Dispensary continued work, supported by the fees secured from out-cases by Mrs. Walter T. Scudder and the nurse. A well has been dug during the s u m m e r vacation in the Dispensary compound for the benefit of the patients with the funds raised from the Hindu and Christian friends of Tindivanam. This has been a long felt need and w e are happy to have a well of our own.

T h e Dispensary has been a great help, not only to the public of Tindivanam but also to the village Christians of the Southern Circle in general. ■

This is the only mission medical institution in the Southern Circle and it is highly desirable that the Arcot Assembly find its w a y to allot funds towards the upkeep of this valuable piece of wo r k in the n a m e of the Saviour w h o went about preaching the word and healing the sick.

' (Mrs. Walter T.) E llen B. Scudder, M.D.Evangelistic Work ARNI

Everywhere the w o m e n are very friendly and sympathetic and so eager to hear. During our Evangelistic Campaign in October m a n y of us went to the near-by villages to hold meetings with the w o m e n and children, and the m e n listened too. W e pray that the seed sown may, in G o d ’s o w n time, produce fruit, thirty, sixty and a hundred fold.

W h e n it was mad e k n o w n to the teachers id the Hindu Girls’ Schools that these schools were to become self supporting, some, of the teachers availed themselves of the opportunity to secure w o r k elsewhere. Other teachers to fill the vacancies were, however, readily available. This speaks well for the interest these teachers have in the work. ‘

MEDICAL-EVANGELISTIC W O R K IN T H E VILLAGESMedical wo r k in the villages has as usual offered large opportunities

for service in the large, almost unreached southern part of our field. M a n y n e w villages have been reached and m a n y sick people helped and taught about the motive that prompted the help they received.

A special feature of the w o r k has been the treatment of lepers, of w h o m there are thousands in our area. W e have had this year more than 860 on our register and the highest number treated on one day was 270. W e have started another leper center about ten miles from our Central Dispensary. W e have been given a ro o m where w e can give the treatments, and the people of the village have themselves become alarmed at the spread of leprosy a m o n g them and have asked for instructions about preventive measures.

In the afternoons the Bible W o m a n and I have visited different villages, making our point of contact the patients w h o have come from such villages for treatment at our Central Dispensary in the morning. W e have also had quite a number of patients w e have been called to see in their homes, and in this w a y the income has been increased by charges for such services. W e have tried to increase the income from the daily dispensary by asking for a small contribution for the charity box. T h e result has been a con­siderable increase over previous years. People in general still have the impression that Mission wo r k is always free, but they are gradually be­ginning to understand that they must share the burden of the expense.

W e were surprised to find in some of these small villages, far away from the traveled roads, young m e n w h o had heard of Christ through

attendance at Mission schools. In m a n y villages the people, whether caste or outcaste, listened attentively and respectfully to the Gospel story. In other villages the message was received with sneers and mocking or with definite opposition. VVe have sold quite a large number of Gospels and other Bible portions as well as health leaflets and religious tracts and booklets. M argaret R ottschaefer, M.D.

. U N I O N INSTITUTIONS Missionary Medical College for Women, Vellore

Dr. Ida S. Scudder reports that of the 146 students w h o have graduated as Licensed Medical Practitioners m a n y are doing praiseworthy work in Mission and Government institutions as well as in private practice. S o m e are working in country districts, one has gone to Africa, some are in Ceylon, B u r m a and Arabia.

There are at present 105 students; m a n y more have been refused for lack of funds and scholarships. T h e wor k is in English, since the girls represent seven different languages. There are 48 Indian nurses under training. These young w o m e n are largely from Christian missions of all denominations, but include also Syrian Christians and even a Brahmin and a M o h a m m e d a n .

T h e medical wor k carried on in Vellore in hospital and dispensaries and on the wayside all aids in the training of our students. It has increased along every line. T h e villages near Vellore are reached through our traveling dispensaries— five roads covered each week, whe n a doctor, nurse, senior medical student, compounder and Bible W o m a n go in the ambulance, treating all w h o come. A s m a n y as one thousand lepers have been treated in one week. These simple village people are most appreciative and look forward to our coming with joy.Women’s Christian College, Madras

Here w e have an example of international friendship in the faculty and students. A n English woman, Miss Eleanor McDougall, is principal, and the vice-principal is an American woman, Miss Edith Coon, of Mt. Holyoke College. They, with a fine staff of British, American and Indian women, are building the future for India through a distinctly Christian education, which they exemplify.

This college, with its fine science laboratory, is fitting young w o m e n for medical and research work, for Christian leadership, for teaching, for welfare work, and for the reforms which India must have. A s mis­sionary wor k decreases In some fields our only hope of Christian lead­ership is in the graduates of such schools, which are proving that w o m e n are not the inferiors of m e n as they are taught in their Hindu religion but are carrying off the honors in examinations.St. Christopher’s Training College, Madras .

This Training College for W o m e n Teachers has mad e for itself a most important place in Christian education in South India. It is the only Training College for graduates that the Missions in South India possess, and it has for the last five years carried on also the training of teachers of the secondary grade. It is obvious that the determining element in education is the character of the teacher and that the possession of good buildings, well planned cur­ricula, suitable text books and modern equipment counts for nothing in c o m ­parison with the provision of Christian teachers of ability and devotion. The students carry on Social Service W o r k in the spirit of Christ. T h e King’s Daughters as a group engage in prison visiting, hospital visiting, Girl Guiding and village work. There is m u c h ignorance in the villages, and the King’s Daughters open Night Schools for the poor children w h o would never have a chance to go to school by day.

Report for 1934Y O K O H A M A — FERRIS SEMINARY

Faculty— Miss Hayashi was again called upon to become acting-Prin­cipal for a few months while Mr. Shafer, owing to the illness of his son, made a trip to the United States. O n June '10th she received recognition and a generous gift from the Joshi Kyoiku Y o g o Kai for having completed almost forty years of honorable service in education for women.

O u r staff was strengthened in April w h e n Mr. Jiro Takenaka, a graduate and former teacher of Tozan Gakuin, began his wo r k here. H e was just back from two years’ study in America, where he received the degrees of B.S. and M.A. from Teachers’ College, Columbia University.

Miss Mabuchi, our young athletic instructor, was given a leave of absence in the autumn to carry out a good-will solo flight to the n e w capital of Manchuria. O n her return to T o k y o after successfully completing the flight, she spoke of her trip from J O A K , the T o k y o Broadcasting Station. She feels that she was sustained in her difficult and dangerous venture by her Christian faith and she mad e this clear even in her radio talk. T h e pub­licity given her has not turned her head and, as a school, w e are proud of her achievement. .

Students— In M a r c h 81 students were graduated: 60 from the High School, 11 from the H o m e Economics Course and 10 from the English Literary Course.

There were three hundred and twenty-nine applicants for the entering class of the Hig h School Department, which is limited to ninety. Twenty- nine out of thirty-four applicants were entered in the various courses of the Junior College Department. Fifteen of these were from our o w n High School. T h e registration at the end of April was 444 in the High School Department and 44 in the Junior College, making a total enrolment of 488. This was little changed at the end of December, w h e n the enrolment was 440 in the Hig h School and 43 in the Junior College.

W h e n entering class girls were investigated with regard to the extent of their contact with Christianity it was found that 28 had never attended Sunday School at any time and that 69 were from homes in which there was not a single Christian.

It is a source of real gratification to us that without a special c a m ­

paign 24 girls were baptized in seven different churches the Sunday before Christmas. Altogether during the year there were 36 baptisms and there are n o w 83 baptized Christians in the school. W e have been definitely working for this sort of; natural decision for Christ growing out of the regular school life and w e are very thankful that progress has been made in that direction. W e also feel that this result is very wholesome in that, in each case, the student has been linked up with her o w n local church.

Parents— T h e Parent-Teachers Association continues its activities for the school. M o r e than 800 yen was contributed during the year. In addition to the usual activities, which includes the employment of a school dentist, a school infirmary was fully equipped for the use of the school health department at a cost of about 550 yen. T h e special meetings of parents for the discussion of school problems were attended by more than 200 parents. .

Alumnae— At the annual meeting of the A l umnae Association final plans for an endowment fund campaign were perfected, and already more than 10,000 yen has been promised. T h e Board of Directors of the School has decided to share in this campaign. A regular part of the fee which the students pay for the school society is also being set aside for this fund.

Financial— T h e Mission appropriation has been cut to 4,000 yen out of a total expenditure amounting] to a little more than 40,000. In other words, Mission support of the regular budget is almost exactly 10%. It was feared that it would be impossible to avoid a large deficit at the end of the year, but by careful economies the deficit was kept d o w n to 117.62 and this was m a d e up by transferring from interest accumulations in the Special Accounts. It will be still more difficult to carry on without a deficit in 1935, since certain heavy charges during 1934 that were for nine months only will be for twelve months during 1935. For the past few years there has been a slight increase each year in fees on account of increased registration. T h e High School has n o w reached full capacity, however, and substantial increase in the Junior College Department is hardly to be looked for in the immediate future. Consequently it will be necessary to exercise every care in order to avoid a deficit this year.

Incidents— A number of things have happened during the year to show that the leaven of the Gospel is at work. At the beginning of the new term one of the third year girls was taken ill and after an illness of two months she passed away. O n her sick bed she asked to be baptized, but her parents, hoping that she might get well, asked her to wait, saying that they would then be baptized with her. At the funeral, which was conducted by fhe Pastor of the Methodist Church near where she lived, the father in a sad but impressive speech said that he and his wife had decided to walk the path of faith that had mad e the last moments of their daughter’s life so peaceful and beautiful. O n the Sunday before Christmas the whole family received baptism, father and mother; two daughters and a niece.

Another third year girl was baptized this spring. Just a few months before her father had deserted his family. The y were left penniless and were forced to open a boarding -house. T h e mother at first was very m u c h dis­couraged, but the beautiful, Christian spirit of the little daughter is proving to be a great blessing to the mother. She n o w joins her daughter in going to church as often as she is able.

A fourth year girl, a Christian, has had to leave school for the present because of illness. She was at the head of her class and hence found it exceedingly difficult to give up. But her faith has helped her to come out victorious. H e r classmates are continually touched by the expressions of hope and joy that characterize her letters and unconsciously she is exercising an influence a m o n g them.

W e are grateful for these evidences of G o d ’s leading. 'Lu m a n J. Shafer, Principal

Christian Activities— One. of the busiest organizations is that of the Y.W.C.A. This year w e have had some interesting speakers at our as­sembly meetings. W e enjoyed the visit of the General Secretary for the International Y.W.C.A., Miss Charlotte Mills. There was an address fol­lowed by a discussion meeting of the cabinet members and group leaders. Miss Mills was able to give us some helpful suggestions. It was an inspira­tion to our group to realize that it is a part of the large group of “Y ” girls in all parts of the world. Another interesting speaker was Miss J. C. Gilles­py, a m e m b e r of a sister Mission, w h o is a fine evangelistic speaker. She devoted a day to our school, giving a series of group talks and also private interviews. W e are sure that her fine Christian personality left a deep im­pression and are confident that she was able to help the students in some of their real problems. T o our Mothers’ D a y program the mothers were invited, and although few were there, still the girls had the opportunity of joining in this service with them. It was the first time, I a m sure, that these w o m e n had attended such a meeting.

A n unusually large number attended the student conferences this s u m ­mer. There were sixty-eight at one or another of the s u m m e r camps and conferences under Christian auspices. Three of our teachers helped in conducting Bible classes at these gatherings.

O u r “Y ” continues to support the Neighborhood Sunday School and to send a monthly contribution to a local social settlement. In December gifts of w a r m clothes and other such useful articles were sent to a number of charity organizations. M o n e y gifts were sent both to the famine sufferers in North Japan and to those families in the Kwansai District w h o lost everything in the disastrous storm of last September. In these ways w e try to keep in sympathetic touch with those w h o are not as fortunate as we. In N o v e m b e r the International W e e k of Prayer was observed with early morning services.

T h e Ferris Sunday School has four teachers and an average attendance of forty-five, mostly a m o n g the lower class pupils. W e are greatly en­couraged w h e n w e think of the influence of these young girls upon their families, for they are sometimes the means of bringing them to Christ.

C. Janet O ltmansWhite Christmas— “What are you bringing for the White Christmas

bazaar, Mariko San?” “Oh, nothing much. I have a small celluloid doll for which I have knit a dress and cap. It will sell for only about 40 sen, but every bit helps, you know. W h a t are you doing?” “Oh, in our class, w e are making flannel underclothes for children. I don’t suppose the students will be interested in buying practical things like that, but if they don’t sell, w e ’ll give them to the poor shivering children in T h e Friends’ H o m e Settlement.”- T h e bazaar referred to in the above dialogue was the grand finale of the White Christmas program at Ferris. For a week, white boxes had been standing in the different class-rooms, and m oney and w a r m clothing had been brought. Every morning for a week one could see from a chart in the hall the amount contributed day by day. U p and up went the red line until it had almost reached the 300 Y e n mark. Every morning, in chapel, some girl had told the story of a worthy case to which one might contribute. There was the story of a Ferris graduate w h o had started w o r k a m o n g destitute w o m e n and children in Osaka, and there were the stories of leper homes, of orphanages and of the famine sufferers in the north of Japan. W i t h concrete cases before them, the girls rallied nobly around their school motto, “For Others.” Not only were w a r m clothes and m oney contributed, but several needy families in the city were visited by a representative group from the school. Thus was the practical side of Christmas observed.

T h e aesthetic and spiritual side was expressed in pageantry and song. T h e Cantata sung by some four hundred girls created a perfect Christmas

atmosphere, and Dickens’ “Christmas Carol”, acted out by a group of college girls, taught us anew h o w m u c h more blessed it is to give than to receive. T h e pageant with the bringing of white gifts to the King by girls dressed in the costumes of different countries was indeed impressive, but the thought that twenty-four of these girls were giving their hearts as well was a w e ­inspiring and cause for great rejoicing.

These girls were baptized Christmas Sunday. T h e means by which they had come to their decisions were varied. O n e girl through the tragic death of her mother had1 found Christ to be her all in all. Another had found G o d at a Y.W.C.A. camp during the summer, and still another had merely acted upon a word spoken to her at an opportune time by her Bible teacher. There were also those w h o had come to k n o w the truth through the beautiful life and death of one of their class-mates.

W e praise G o d for the past year and for these lives that have been dedicated to Him, but would ask your prayers for even greater blessings during the year 1935! D ora Eringa

The Department of Music— Most of the music instruction has been in singing and piano. T h e last organ pupil was graduated and played at her commencement in March.

Each of the eleven classes meets for singing class— the first and second- year groups twice a week. T w o groups of selected voices form choruses, which practise outside of regular school hours. T h e Senior Choir sang at the Y.M.C.A. Fiftieth Anniversary and Christmas Praise Services. A few of them took part in a special program at the Union Church. T h e Junior Choir sang at the W o r l d ’s Sunday School anniversary program in the city park. T h e Cantata, “T h e Chimes of the Holy Night at Christmas’’, was done by the Higher Department with the aid of the Fifth Year. T h e whole school sang the final chorus.

There have been over fifty piano pupils, including nine in the beginners’ class and several other n e w ones w h o had taken lessons before entering Fer­ris. Regularity in attendance at private lessons has' been a great boon for steady improvement in technique, expression and memory. All have been re­quired to memorize pieces for occasional recitals attended by only the piano pupils. Term-end recitals for the whole student body have been mad e up of selections from the preliminary programs. The y have included Bach Inven­tions, Sonatas by Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven and Schubert, some of the easier works from Schumann, Mendelssohn and Chopin, and from Grieg, MacDowell, Delibes, C a d m a n and a few modern composers. Each term two of the best pupils have played for the school Literary Meeting. Piano and organ- numbers were given1 at Commen c e m e n t by members of the graduating class. M a n y have willingly played for morning devotions, Y.W.C.A. and Sunday School.

T h e Music Club is still in its infancy. A t present, all it does is to meet once.a month for Appreciation. T h e supply of records has increased. Th e y m a y be used by teachers and students in classes or during any leisure time. '

T h e music hour makes a break in the cares pf the day and may, I trust, enrich each girl’s life by added enjoyment, expression and service to others.

V irginia ReevesRelations with Pupils and Alumnae— Since I began special evangelistic

wo r k a m o n g our students at school and a m o n g the graduates the Lord has helped m e wonderfully. H e has captivated m y mind so that the wo r k has become so fascinating that I sometimes have felt that I want to be at it all the time.

U p to M a r c h last year I had six inquirers’ classes. Since April I have had only four, because I took the regular curriculum Bible class for the Junior College girls from, non-Christian schools w h o entered the English Literary and H o m e Economics Courses in April. Talking with these girls

the other day, I found that they are gradually finding out the worth of spiritual things and want to k n o w more about Christianity; so I have just promised to meet them once a week outside of school hours, taking the H o m e Economics Group and the English Literary Group separately. So from n o w on I shall have six groups as before.

Most of the girls in these groups have been coming to m e regularly and I was quite surprised whe n I heard that about seventy girls wanted to go either to Y.W.C.A. camps or s u m m e r conferences last summer. Several of these girls received baptism.

During last year I m a d e five trips to visit graduates. I went to Zushi, Yokosuka, and Chigasaki, all one-day affairs, the last place chiefly to visit sick people. These visits, especially with the sick, show that our graduates are seeking comfort in things beyond materialism. These little spiritual talks and friendly visits seem to reach deep into their hearts.

During the Easter holidays I went to N a g o y a where there are several graduates. But m y best effort was ma d e in the summer, which I spent in visiting about seventy graduates in Kobe, Osaka and vicinity and places on the w a y there, devoting the whole month of August to this work.' The-first place I visited was Mishima, where m y brother and nephew

were pastors successively for some years. T h e place gave m e a homelike feeling as I used to go to see m y relatives w h e n they resided there. F r o m there I went to Omiya. A s usual, whe n I called at one of the homes there,I began talking about the school, of which graduates are always anxious to hear. T h e n gradually I led the subject to religious matters. T o m y sur- ' prise, m y hostess told m e that her husband was interested in Christianity and that they were both studying it. I was very m u c h pleased to hear that and encouraged her to keep on studying and to go to Christian meetings whenever they could. T h e visit ended and I went to the Station to go on to the next place. H e r husband is a doctor and it happened that their daughter was sick in his hospital at the time. M y hostess went to the station with m e but I asked her not to wait till the train came, thinking that her little girl must be looking forward to her return home. So she left, but in about ten minutes she came back to the station all out of breath. U p o n inquiry I found that her husband was waiting for her w h e n she got back h o m e and had told her to go back to the station and ask m e to come back to the house and wait till he came back from his calls. H e wanted to ask m e some questions about Christianity. This was more than I expected, but I thought it might be that the Lord had sent m e there for this purpose; so without m u c h protest I went back and waited. Pretty soon the doctor came h o m e and I talked with him for a couple of hours and explained Christianity as well as I could. At eight o’clock that evening the evangelist came and w e talked some more and sang some hymns. It was after eleven before the evangelist left the house. Since it was too late for m e to go anywhere else that night I stayed over night. This was the last day of July and what do you think that I heard in October? A message was delivered to m e that w h e n Mr. Tonomura, a famous evangelist, came to that town, that m a n and his wife were baptized.

Th e n I went to Osaka and stayed with Miss Sodeyama for a few days. She teaches in a school for poor children. She soon learned about the family conditions of these children. Wit h no fathers to support them the mothers had to work but their smaller children were in the way. So Miss Sodeyama took their babies in charge while they worked. T o take care of them, h o w ­ever, meant that she had to give them lunch too, for some of them came with­out any. She also arranged to give their mothers work. O n e evening a week she goes to a boarding house of rough working m e n and sings and preaches to them. These m e n m a d e fun of her at first but she paid no attention to them and went on with her preaching and singing. Pretty soon they began to behave better and listened mo r e attentively. O n e of these m e n was very fond of drink and he could not pass a wineshop without stopping. Thus

he used to spend all his earnings there. O n e day, however, he found that he passed the store without noticing it. H e had no desire to go back, either, so he returned to his lodging without drinking. H e was sober and his money was tingling in his pocket. This was something n e w to him. There he was sitting in his right mind with money in his pocket. H e came to Miss Sode­y a m a and told her all about it and handed her the money to be used for her work. Since then he has never been drunk. Miss Sodeyama has a Sunday School for her children and a Bible class for mothers. She herself lives in a tiny room which is her study, sitting-room and bed-room all in one. She is very consecrated. She writes that she had a Christmas entertainment for the w o m e n and children and that about 500 were there to enjoy it.

A m o n g those w h o m I visited were some w h o m I taught the first year after I graduated. S o m e of them had grandchildren. In one place I met one w h o m I had not seen for thirty-seven years. She was at Ferris w h e n w e had the Primary Department. She was only twelve when she left school.

’ W e talked and talked for hours for she would not let m e leave her. She said that the Christian education she received at that early age so influenced her that wh e n her o w n girls reached high school age she naturally desired to send them to a Christian school.

I went out in the heat day after day. S o m e days I could m a k e only one or two calls. In almost all cases I was cordially received and they seemed pleased to get a little spiritual message. T h e field is ripe and waiting for the sickle. I took some books with m e but as I could not spare one for everybody I had to use them very carefully, using m y judgment as to w h o needed them most. H o w fine it would be if I could give one to everybody w h o m I visit 1

Several of the girls w h o could spare the time acted as guides and went with me. I was grateful to them. A t the same time it was a good occasion to introduce- them to their sister graduates and have them become acquainted with each other.

In addition to these special trips I tried to call on some graduates in Y o k o h a m a and T o k y o whenever I could. I think I mad e a hundred and ten or fifteen calls altogether during the year.

I feel grateful to the Lord for the honor H e has bestowed upon m e to help in His great cause. M a y H e purify, strengthen and instruct m e in His w a y that I m a y become a fit vessel ready to serve in humility and consecration. S a d a H a v a s h i

SHIMONOSEKI— STURGES SEMINARYT h e year '1934 marks the 20th anniversary of the coming of Sturges

Seminary to Shimonoseki. T h e celebration, lasting three days, occurred in May. O n the first day, besides the formal exercises, there was a concert given by some of the alumnae of the school, of w h o m one was a graduate of the Kunitachi Conservatory of Music in T o k y o and another had studied in America. O n the second and third days there were exhibits of art by former pupils and teachers and by primary school children of the city, an exhibit of flower arrangements done by the girls in the Special Household Arts Course, exhibits of drills and games under the direction of the teacher of gymnastics, a bazaar under the auspices of the alumnae and a literary and musical program. T o commemorate the occasion, a history of the school was written by Mr. Kuroki, one of the oldest of our teachers, and the Patrons’ Association ma d e plans for the giving of an extra school building.*

Wi t h the beginning of the n e w school year in April a Special House­hold Arts Course was offered to graduates of the school, for which about

. fifteen enrolled. In the regular high school department an experiment was m a d e with dividing the 4th and 5th year girls into two divisions, one part specializing in English and the other in Domestic Science. This will prob­ably be a permanent arrangement. Beginning with the n e w school year a

school nurse was also employed by the Patrons’ Association to look after the health of the girls. T h e Fifth Year girls mad e a ten days’ educational excursion to Korea and Manchuria in the spring and also visited such local places as the Mitsubishi Do c k Yards, a fish refrigeration plant, a telephone company and the flour mills.

This year the school failed to take part'in the prefectural sports because the meet was held on Sunday, but in one of the local contests Sturges w o n first place in basket-ball and volley-ball and second in tennis. In another she w o n most of the points and thus kept the banner for the second suc­cessive year. In the tri-mission school meet held in Fukuoka, she w o n first place in volley-ball. T h e usual instruction in swimming was given after the close of school in July. O n e of the most interesting of athletic events was an exhibition of concert gymnastics and drills by 5000 high school boys and girls of the vicinity, in which our girls also took part. W h a t if w e were able to get all young people working together for the cause of the K i n g d o m like that!

O u r Music Department was asked to give a concert at the 15th anni­versary of a Government school about an hour and a half a w a y by train, where they had audiences totaling 2000. T h e Kunitachi Conservatory of Music gave a concert for the girls and general public in our chapel. Fifty- five of their students and teachers took part. During the s u m m e r the M a n ­dolin Club of the Doshisha University also gave a concert here.

O n e of the high spots for the Y.W.C.A. was the coming of Miss Mills, the Religious Education Secretary of the International Office in Geneva. While she was here, a conference for Y.W.C.A. advisors in Kyus h u and southern Hon s h u was held to the great profit of all. O n the Empress’ birthday, Mothers’ D a y in Japan, the younger Y . W . girls invited their mothers to a program and a simple lunch of macaroni, such as the school serves for the girls w h o desire hot lunches. W e hope w e m a y do this every year and thus mak e another link between the h o m e and the school. At Thanksgiving time (although Thanksgiving is not a Japanese holiday) the Y . W . girls brought fruit and vegetables to the school and after their service in the afternoon took them to the poor and unfortunate. At Christmas they went to sing carols at one of the city hospitals for the destitute and take pictures to add cheer to their dreary rooms. There they found a former student of Steele A c a d e m y w h o was especially happy to see them. During the year the girls also took flowers to the hospitals and continued their interest in the untainted children of lepers on the island of Oshima in the Inland Sea.

After two of the major disasters that Japan suffered this year, the Hakodate fire and the Osaka typhoon, the girls went from house to house in the city collecting m oney for the sufferers. For the first, 500 yen was collected; for the second, 1226 yen. Thus the needs of others were brought to the attention not only of the girls themselves but also of the people of the city. At the time of a fire not far from the school, w h e n forty-six families lost their homes and practically all they possessed, the girls through the Y.W.C.A. Social Service division collected clothing. T h e usual Baby Clinic was held, in' which 130 babies were examined by physicians assisted by nurses and the girls in the Household Arts Course.

Besides the usual Bible classes, chapel services and prayer meetings the girls had the privilege of hearing such special speakers as Mrs. Kida of Lambeth Jo Gakuin in Osaka, the Rev. Mr. Ono, especially interested in the Oxford Group Movement, the Rev. Mr. Aoki w h o spoke on his o w n experience of hearing G o d ’s voice, Mr. Hayashi, an earnest temperance worker, Commissioner M a p p of the Salvation Army, and Dr. K a g a w a cn route to the Philippines, whose addresses never fail to arouse interest. Following the usual custom, special early morning prayer meetings were held for a week after school closed in July.

NAGASAKIEvangelistic Work

This year the total enrolment in our four Children’s Meetings was one fifth less than last year. T h e wave of nationalism and the activity of the Buddhists are doubtless a m o n g the causes. Ho w e v e r the attendance at the four Christmas celebrations totaled larger than the previous year.

O u r o w n h o m e Sunday School is an increasing joy, and w e feel that through it w e are touching those nearest us. T h e great Lover of children recently took to Himself one dear little pupil of this school, and as I went to sympathize with the mother I found h o w gladly she had been reading our “Ochibo” which Kimi ko San carried h o m e from Sunday School and h o w thankful she seemed to have the children attend.

During the year the receipts from readers of our monthly paper, the “Ochibo”, were more than double those of 1933 and within a few sen of half the entire expense. A gift of over twenty yen came from a little group of Japanese Christians in British Columbia, to w h o m the paper regularly goes. T h e other half of the expenses came from unsolicited special gifts, so no regular funds were needed. But grateful as w e were for the increased gifts, w e were still more grateful for the letters which came from different ones telling of their interest in the paper and of its helpfulness. Last October this little paper reached its twentieth birthday. In those years w e believe that the Lord has used it to carry His message to m a n y hearts.

O u r h o m e Tuesday afternoon bi-weekly Bible Class and the weekly Friday evening class have been kept up as usual. T h e latter is especially well attended; though some have moved a w a y or dropped out, several have remained faithful, and n e w ones have come. Besides these, Miss T o m e g a w a has five Bible Classes for w o m e n or girls in as m a n y different homes. She also teaches a class in the church Sunday School and has charge of the church Y.W.C.A. which meets monthly. She is still an elder in the church, and president of the W o m a n ’s Society. In September, in response to requests from one church in Shikoku and another in Fukuoka, she spent two weeks holding special meetings, speaking altogether sixteen times.

I have a small weekly English Bible Class of Higher Commercial School students.

M y young Sunday School helper is a comfort, and it is a joy to see her growth in grace. '

Calling on the w o m e n in their homes is one important part of our work, and one for which w e never seem to have enough time.

T h e Sunday before Christmas four adults and one child were baptized in the church which w e attend. O n e was a w o m a n w h o has for a long time been attending one of Miss T o m e g a w a ’s Bible Classes and of late coming to church. H e r sister-in-law is one of our finest Christians, and n o w these two can unite their hearts to pray for their husbands, neither of w h o m is yet Christian. T h e other woman, w h o with her husband and little girl re­ceived baptism, is one in w h o m I have been particularly interested for some time. There have been m a n y difficulties in their way, but their joy is n o w great. There were two others w h o desired to confess their faith at the same time. O n e could not get her husband’s permission; the other, an unmarried young woman, was held back by her mother, w h o is, however, more than willing that her daughter attend church and Bible Class. Doubt­less here, as in m a n y cases, there is the fear that receiving baptism might stand in the w a y of a desirable marriage.

T h e present seems a very important time in this land. O n the part of m a n y there is a feeling of spiritual need, a seeking for something which they have not. A n d the arch-Deceiver is ready with his enticing offers to lead them the wrong way. There are cults many, which promise well

but profit nothing. Just n o w in Nagasaki a religion called “T h e W a y of M a n ”, which holds out hope of healing, is attracting thousands. In some cities it has already worn itself out and probably will here also in time. W e are not to sit still and allow the evil one to reap the whitened harvest. T h e “W a y of G o d ” must be presented as widely and as attractively as possible. A n d for that the w o r k and workers need your earnest and continued prayers.

T h e churches of Japan came into existence through the efiforts of the h o m e churches; they are still weak, m a n y are doing little more than struggling for their o w n existence and have little strength left to reach out after the untouched multitudes, whose presence is a loud call to us still. A s w e face a n e w year let us resolve neither to retreat nor to stand still, but to advance in the N a m e of H i m to w h o m “all things are possible”.

Sara M . CouchT h e various kinds of w o r k begun a year ago have been continued all

this year with very little change in the number attending or in the nature of the work. W e have been glad to have from 50 to 70 children attending the meeting once a we e k in the h o m e and to offer library privileges once a week. A n average of 20 have come in to read worthwhile children’s books. Across the bay an average of 35 children have continued to come to the Friday meeting.

During the s u m m e r a Daily Vacation Bible School was held at the h o m e with an average of 35 attending for about seven weeks. T h e program consisted of Bible stories, songs, handwork and review of school wo r k supervised by the helper and YfW.C.A. girls from the church. This wor k was greatly appreciated by the parents, and mothers still ask us to continue it. A small leaflet emphasizing the lessons of the week was prepared and distributed to all.

M y illness in the fall mad e it necessary to postpone the organization of the Boys’ .club but w e are happy to report that the boys of 6th to 8th grades attending our neighborhood meeting are n o w by their o w n choice organized into a Lion Boys’ Clu b ! T h e program as planned offers'games, music, English, Bible and preparation for school work, and w e hope later to introduce handwork. In spite of opposition on the part of some teachers, w h o are telling the children to beware of ‘Christian teaching lest they become involved in the “dangerous thoughts”, the enthusiasm does not seem to lessen. There are still things w e would like to have improved— our trees and shrubs, our gate and fence still suffer from the destructive instincts of these children w h o have never had the privileges of a playground but w e hope little by little they m a y become worthwhile boys and girls, de­pendable and honest m e n and women. In January w e hope to form a similar club for the girls. Both of these groups have been introduced to stamp collecting.

T h e Girls’ Club of High School girls held their meetings till the end of the school term, ending up with a hilarious party at m y home. Games, music, Bible lesson and tea and cakes were enjoyed by 35 girls. T h e school wo r k is so heavy one almost hesitates to ask them to come lest it be an added burden, but in spite of the full program at the school they come as often as they can. A group of five graduates have become so interested in the Bible that they ask for it to be given first if there is not time for everything.

T h e h o m e has been used by English and Bible classes and by th various organizations of the church, and callers have been welcomed and given the message either orally or in written form. W e pray that the efforts m a y be blessed and the seed sown m a y bear good fruit.

OITAIn Oita, as throughout all Japan, Christian wor k has been hampered by

the ultra-nationalistic spirit fostered in every possible w a y and finding its most ardent advocates in the primary school teachers. Loyalty to the Emperor, \yho loves them like a father, love of country which spells opposi­tion to the foreigner and things foreign, revival of national religions and anti-Christian propaganda, all m a k e it hard to get the little folks to come to our house for Sunday School. A s our h o m e is directly opposite one of Oita’s largest primary schools, w e have increasingly felt this opposition during the past two years, since the children are forbidden to come here by their teachers and the teacher’s word is law to them. The y come before “Sunday school” and play in our garden, which is directly under the eyes of the teachers, and each one coming, even with the full consent of his parents, is spotted and made to suffer for it. A s a result our Friday school was finally reduced to five little girls w h o attend the distant Normal practice school, so w e closed it in June and passed around wo r d that all were to come on Sunday. Since Sunday is a school holiday the children have continued to come with comparative regularity though in small numbers, and what was started as a school for older girls is n o w attended by tiny tots of all grades, both boys and girls, as well as the older ones. T o these children w e have been teaching the life of Christ.’

B y having the Christmas program on Dec. 26th, the day after school closed, all the children of all grades could come early in the afternoon and the school authorities could say nothing against it. W e had a poor program, for all the performers had ceased to come, but the children seemed to enjoy it just the same and w e had quite an audience of older girls w h o used to come some years ago; also a lot of tough boys, w h o employed themselves spinning tops on our best rug. There were about 100 present.

O u r Wednesday school at the cotton mill has continued with increasing attendance, mainly of little girls. Quite the opposite spirit prevails up there. W e go in at one end of the company compound and collect the children, w h o come from every direction when they hear our voices. This w e do for two reasons. T h e little ones w h o do not go to school are apt to forget what day it is, and then, by going through, w e can greet the mothers at each little home. They are all smiles as they come out to speak to us and tell us it is a w a r m or a cold day as the case m a y be and give us little items of news about their o w n or their neighbors’ families. W h e n w e finally go through the middle gate, carrying the two little babies w h o cry if left behind and having the' older ones all trailing along behind, us, w e feel m u c h as the Pied Piper must have done, and all w h o m w e meet on the street smile cheerfully as they see the procession. O u r meeting place is in one of the homes but at the other end of the compound and reached by the street. There is a real Family spirit a m o n g the children, and the tiny ones are as m u c h at h o m e with one older child as with another. Y o u are never sure just w h o will rise to the occasion and carry the babies h o m e on their backs. O n e little tot has g rown up since s u m m e r and, whereas she regularly had a nap in m y lap each week, she is n o w able to keep awake and sit up on her little feet through it all. This year’s lessons have been the Old Testament stories.

O u r Christmas exercises at the mill were the best w e have ever held, with more mothers out to hear the program and with all the parts well learned. Hitherto, the boys have failed to realize that parts were to be memorized and have spent a part of their time giggling, but this year all parts were well learned in a week and requests were ma d e for seconds. That is an easy school to teach as the attendance of practically every child is constant. T w o from that Wednesday school did not miss one meeting of the 41 held during the year, and in the Sunday School three little girls

had a perfect attendance for the 37 meetings; so I gave them each a Japanese translation of Hurlbut’s Story of the Bible, N e w Testament, hoping that through these simply told stories others in the homes might come to a little understanding of our Christ. '

T h e cooking class with its little devotional service has continued through the year with good attendance, as has the class in handwork. T h e latter has been as interesting to the teacher as it has apparently been to the taught. O n e day they asked what “quilting” is and h o w done, and as it was difficult to explain, I showed them a quilt I had received last year. The y were crazy about it and must all do it; so each spent the next month’s meeting making a block as a pattern. Later one of them brought her finished quilt to show m e — a perfect piece of w o r k and done in about two weeks. That same girl wants to m a k e a different one now. W e have also learned to mak e afghans of bright colored wools, such as m y grandmother had whe n I was twelve years old! Cross stitch has come into its o w n and bags and pin­cushions— in fact, everything that has recently come m y w a y — have been copied with avidity. T h e trouble is to get n e w ideas which they can really use, as so m u c h of our handwork would be useless in their homes.

During the year w e have had neighborhood meetings m a n y times, though without such outside speakers as w e had last year for special meetings. In the fall all the ministers of our churches in Oita Prefecture gathered here for a day of fellowship and conference. ' It also was a fare­well meeting for one of the young pastors w h o was to marry and go to a church in the Loochoo Islands. T h e m e n enjoy an American meal together as m u c h as the ministers at home, though w e do it on a less lavish scale here. -

Again serving as W.C.T.U. Treasurer, I found m u c h of interest in the year’s work. W e engaged in no rescue w o r k this year but, by having a goodly amount in the treasury, were able to pay at once our full five years’ assessment of Y e n SO toward the National meeting which will be held in Kyushu in 1938— the only society financially able to be so forehanded. In November w e joined with other Christian w o m e n ’s societies at the time of the celebration of the opening of the Oita-Kurume Railroad and collected Y e n 300 on the streets for those suffering from the famine in the North. W e also sent our share toward the expense of 5000 towels sent by the National W.C.T.U. to those w h o had lost everything at the time of the terrible typhoon which hit the Osaka district last summer. O u r last w o r k of the year was the preparation of “T e n Cent Envelopes”, through which w e collected for the poor of Oita, and the next will be the dressing of twenty-five dolls to sell to tourists coming into Beppu on the R ound the W o r l d tours. This is our main source of revenue for our work. '

A s the Sunday School w o r k has of necessity g rown less, there has been time for more calling on the w o m e n in their homes. Everywhere they are cordiality itself. Truly the doors are open in spite of anti-Christian propa­ganda and ultra-nationalistic agitation from those above. T h e ordinary folk are as friendly and as lovable as ever and w e can go to them as often and as freely as w e have ever done. Surely Japan is n o w at the cross­roads and if our message has ever been needed it is doubly needed now. W h e r e it is not possible to do any direct Christian teaching w e have spe­cially been trying during these difficult days to w o r k for a better interna­tional understanding by just being friendly and using all means in our power to win those w e meet. T o most of them w e represent all that they k n o w about America, and what they like or dislike in us they will like or dislike whe n they think of our country.

Very often w e are not privileged to see any visible results of our work, but at Christmas time two young w o m e n w h o began coming to our

house Sunday School w h e n they were little girls finally were baptized in the church and one of them has become a teacher of the tiny tots in the church Sunday School. Such little encouragements along the w a y give us reason for hope that the present planting of seed in the hearts of older ones as well as of little children m a y in due time result in souls w o n for the Master.

K A G O S H I M AWomen’s Work

For several years the w o r k under this heading has gone along steadily without m u c h variation. That w e have been able to keep up this continuity has been due largely to the very able w o r k of the Bible W o m a n .

Naturally both of us wor k in and with the local church, although it is celebrating seven years of independence' this month. W e are fortunate in Kagoshima in having rooms for Sunday School work. T h e house Sunday School is in a flourishing condition; it has 145 children, divided into five classes.

T h e meeting for maids or working girls meets once a month, the attendance varying with circumstances. Recently some students from the school for the training of midwives have joined. O n e of these girls used to come w h e n she was in maid service and has kept more or less in touch with us since— largely on her o w n initiative. Besides coming to this meeting at our h o m e she and her friends attend the morning service at church.

There were two occasions during the past year requiring careful thought and planning, the results of which seem to justify the wor k en­tailed. In the spring, at the request of the w o m e n of the church, a two-day American-style cooking exhibition was put on in one of the large news­paper buildings. That meant the transportation of almost our entire kitchen and the cooperation of the whole family. It not only netted a little m oney for the w o m e n but, what was more important, created a cordial feeling between the people of the church and m a n y of the leading families of the city.

In December the w o m e n invited the husbands to a Christmas meeting at the h o m e of the missionary. T h e response was very good, and m a n y m e n w h o do not seem interested in church came and enjoyed the fellowship during the American dinner and the Christmas program. W e were so happy to welcome two mothers at this meeting, too, and feel that they had an opporttmity to become somewhat acquainted with the Christianity their children have accepted.

Although the missionary’s wife must spread her energies in so m a n y different directions, there usually is time to help students with their English and so, through the years, m a n y friendships are established.

Report for 1934B A S R A H

Evangelistic WorkIn m y various contacts with the w o m e n I have been particularly im­

pressed by their need for friendship. Ver y few of our M o s l e m w o m e n k n o w the meaning of true friendship, a friendship which forgets self, which sees with the eye of love and thinks only the noblest and best. Often where w e would expect love, joy and contentment w e find sorrow, fear, hatred and dis­trust. Everywhere there is a lack of faith in humankind which is robbing the w o m e n of the most worthwhile things in life. W e long to restore this faith by assuring them of our faith in them and our love and sympathy for them. It is through confidence that w e hope to lead them to that higher friendship and companionship given to us in Christ Jesus.

O n e of the greatest sources of joy to us throughout the past year was our friendship with an Ar a b w o m a n w h o was mentioned in our report last year as having taken a definite stand for Christ. O n December 10th the missionaries and a few of her friends gathered in the chapel to be present at her baptism and that of her little girl. It was an occasion of great joy to us all, and especially for her husband w h o had been waiting for years for her conversion. H e r faith and Christian joy have been a great inspiration to us and a constant witness to Christ’s power to change lives. In contrast to m a n y of our other friendships there were no closed doors, no walls of defense. She came to us with an open heart full of Christ-like love, eager to learn and eager to share with us her experiences of Christ. I shall always treasure the m e m o r y of the mornings w e spent together reading and discussing parts of G o d ’s Word. She was a great asset to our weekly prayer meetings. She was always present to help in the singing, sometimes to lead in prayer, and at other times to give a personal testimony of her n e w faith. W e are sorry that because of her husband’s w o r k she has had to leave Basrah, but w e are con­fident that her witness and influence will count for m u c h a m o n g the Mos l e m w o m e n in Amarah. That she has mad e an impression upon some of the w o m e n here w h o k n e w her there is no doubt. A very fine testimony to her Christian character was mad e by one of her M o s l e m friends, who, comparing her with

some of her other friends said,. “I like her best because she is sincere and can be trusted.”

T h e attendance at the Thursday afternoon mejlis has varied from eight or ten in the very hot weather during the date packing season to forty or more in the winter, the weeks before and after Christmas. Only the poor and middle-class w o m e n attend these meetings, and the interest shown in the Bible reading and talks has at all times been most gratifying.

T h e attendance at our Thursday club for poor children has varied little from that of the previous year. W e are discovering that it is not a year, but the years of contact! with these children, that counts. There is a differ­ence in the conduct and in the w o r k of the children in proportion to the time they have been with us. W e hope that the beginnings of Christian training they are n o w receiving will in our future contacts with them open the w a y for a better understanding of Christ and His message.

Through our wor k in the homes w e have kept in contact with our old friends and have mad e m a n y n e w ones. M a n y of our n e w friends are the mothers and relatives of our club children or school boys. W e appreciate these relationships not only from the standpoint of friendship but also for the help which they afford us in our work.

(Mrs. George) Christine Gossei.inkA second year of Evangelistic W o r k in connection with the Girls’ School

has passed and it has been pleasant to pass from the role of newcomer to that of an old friend. A s I walk through the streets of the neighborhood, instead of meeting veiled strangers I find the veils drawn aside and stop for greet­ings with friends. Very m a n y of the doors no longer hide secret passages but familiar courtyards where I k n o w a welcome awaits me. T h e afternoons and some mornings have been regularly given to h o m e visiting, m y sister frequently accompanying m e w h e n I went to the families of school girls. All of them are visited and all of the homes of m y club girls as well as various other friends. Most of the w o m e n return the calls; so the Friday afternoon open house in m y “mejlis” as well as on the playground has con­tinued a popular feature of the evangelistic w o r k and a means of bringing a closer touch between the homes and the school or clubs. But on the whole I find I come closer to the w o m e n in their homes than in m y o w n home, where they are curious about the surroundings or other visitors present.

T h e club w o r k for non-school children gives m u c h happiness and help to over fifty girls w h o ,have very few other interests or pleasures. The regularity of their attendance and their unwillingness to leave even wh e n the noon hour arrives, as well as the wor k done, show that the clubs are filling a real need in their lives. T h e Wednesday group is composed of very poor village girls of all ages. The y are quiet and industrious, taking real joy in their work. T h e Friday club is for girls, mostly small ones, w h o are going to mullahs the other six days of the week. A s these finish reading the Koran w e hope to enroll them as pupils in our o w n school. T h e M o n d a y group is mostly of older girls in their teens. Their short school days (most of them have had one or two years of school) are finished. T h e club is their chief interest and, pleasure. These girls are a lively bunch, enjoying the Bible stories and eager to re-tell them, enthusiastic about their sewing and full of conversation about all the little things of their lives and homes. W e are indeed just a family group with the girls sitting in Ara b style on the narrow mattress on the floor while I sit on a very low stool before them where I can watch and help them as it is needed.

At the close of the year w e w o u n d up with a morning of stories and games and candy. They entered into the games with all the fun and laughter that children everywhere display. A t the end I distributed the prizes. This year the girls k n e w there were not enough of the nicer dolls to go around and they must earn the better dolls if they were to receive them. All year a special note book had kept record not only of attendance but also

of deportment and a m a r k for each piece of sewing that was finished, based on the quality, not quantity, of the work. S o those w h o had labored faithfully received their reward while the naughtier or lazy ones had to be content with small china dolls. It was a real lesson for them, and to m y great pleasure, perhaps because they had been well warned, there was no complain­ing and they left for the s u m m e r very happily and urging m e to m a k e the vacation short.

This fall m y little family groups are gathered together again. S o m e of the girls are in their third year, some are new, some are missing but as these have mostly entered school I a m happy about them. M o n t h by month and year by year the ties that bind us together gro w stronger. M o r e and more I long to share with them the truest blessings which I have received and I pray and ask your prayers that in these hours of close companionship Christ m a y be able through m e to draw close to these children and win their hearts for Himself. R uth JacksonEducational Work

Basrah Girls" School— O n e year of school according to the n e w regime, four grades and kindergarten, has been completed and another year begun without the kindergarten. T h e class of girls that w e have n o w are from the lower middle class and mud-hut dwellers. They do not respond to law and order of school and even after a year show themselves with more rough pdges than smooth. . ■

O u r program is very simple with the three R ’s, Bible, Hygiene and Geography, the last two subjects being taught to a large class orally. Just h o w m u c h the health lessons impress them outside of the classroom it is hard to tell. They still exchange g u m and hair-combs, use their handker­chiefs for wiping the board and shining their shoes as well as their intended purpose. W h e n one realizes the h o m e background it is not surprising that they do not absorb more.

Sewing is one of the most popular and most needed subjects. M a n y of their mothers cannot sew and have to pay money they can ill spare for having clothes made. T h e girls accomplished quite a lot in their plain sewing. They mad e handkerchiefs, slips, and w a r m dresses for themselves or kindergarten tots. T h e Guild Boxes furnished m a n y dresses and as more were needed the older girls mad e them for the little ones. This kind of giving w e approve as the girls give something in return for what they receive. After the girls finished their slips they could buy them for twelve cents, a little less than the cost price. W h e n the required sewing was completed they could work on anything they brought, such as pillow, table or couch covers. O u r efforts to train their choice of color were hopeless; so n o w their colors run riot, but perhaps their taste is as good as ours.

At Christmas time w e had our school party and w e were so pleased with the fine program that the teachers and girls arranged. It was far better than w e dared hope for. Dolls were given to most of the girls and greatly appreciated. In fact they are one of the big drawing-cards for school. Free dresses for winter is another. This year w e are not going to give dolls until the end of the year, and the girls-will receive them in accord­ance with their attendance and behavior in school. O u r numbers slumped so badly in the spring that w e feel this to be a necessary move. T h e girls are n o w sewing on handkerchiefs, which they will receive at Christmas tied up full of candy.

This year at morning exercises the children are reciting Psalms and N e w Testament passages. In this w a y they’ll acquire a lot of helpful material, and w h o knows but they m a y be helped in some dark hour in the future by recalling such passages and getting comfort from them.

This year as a matter of economy w e gave up the kindergarten. T h e kindergarten was a great attraction and often girls came to us because w e could take younger brothers or sisters. O u r enrolment so far is 63 and

of these 60 are Moslems. W e do take courage and thank G o d that w e have so m a n y Moslems under our influence and pray that w e m a y be used in changing lives and winning them to Christ. R achel Jackson

K U W A I TEvangelistic Work '

Reporting on the W o m e n ’s Evangelistic W o r k in Kuwait year by year is not an easy task, for the wor k does not vary very much. T h e w o m e n of Kuwait are very friendly and there is no lack of callers. Wit h this friendly spirit one would like to be able to say that their hearts were open to our message of salvation, but there does not seem to be m u c h improvement in that line. It has been m y privilege to give a simple Gospel talk at the dispensary two mornings a week. This I consider a very great opportunity to tell the M o s l e m w o m e n about the love of G o d in providing a w a y of salvation. T h e crowd, all seated on the floor of the hospital veranda, listen very attentively and are often willing to acknowledge their failures, but it is hard for them to see G o d ’s justice as well as His mercy.

For about four years a young girl has been coming to m e three mornings a week for lessons in Arabic reading and writing. She has mad e splendid progress and is most eager to excel. Last spring she brought her sister w h o has graduated from the Koran school and so knows h o w to read. At present w e are reading Pollyanna in Arabic. T w o other mornings- are spent in teaching a little girl to write. H e r father goes off on long journeys in a sailing boat and he longs for a letter from his family. Of course it would not be proper for his wife to write, but for his little girl it would be just right. She has finished her education as far as the Koran school goes, so w e did not have to begin at the very beginning. However, w e spend time reading as well as writing and real progress is being made. It seems strange but none the less true that an Arab girl can read a half page or so without understanding what it is all about. O n e point I a m constantly trying to emphasize is “W h a t are you reading about?” But the enthusiasm that a western child has in reading a story seems difficult to awaken in m y little A r a b pupil. T h e world of books, pleasant stories and history has been closed to her for so m a n y generations that she has very little curiosity. T h e hours spent with these pupils give one wonderful opportunities to witness for Christ, and often more time is spent in talking over some spiritual truth than in reading Pollyanna.

Five M o s l e m w o m e n attend m y little Sunday School every Sunday morning. Last year w e studied the Life, of Christ in the Gospel of St. Matthew and this autumn w e have begun studying it in St. John’s Gospel. The five w o m e n all k n o w the Lord’s Prayer and have learned a number of h y m n s by heart. Th e y all love to sing.

A n d so the days are full and the w o r k goes on. T h e steady friend­ships and .making of n e w contacts with the w o m e n and children of Kuwait must wear d o w n the fanaticism. I a m not so sure that it will overcome the anti-foreign feeling which seems to be on the increase all over the Near East.

(Mrs. Stanley) Bessie A. M ylreaMedical Work

T h e loss of a good lady doctor, lack of a literate helper, and a staff so small as to keep patients waiting for hours seem not to deter the growth of dem a n d for medical attention by the w o m e n and children of Kuwait. Thirty-seven thousand plus is the figure to report for the out-patient depart­ment. There is an overflow attended to in the hospital for men.

Obstetrical wo r k interests m e greatly, but it demands so m u c h time that, under the present circumstances, this department cannot be cultivated. Dr. Mylrea officiated at six cases in the W o m e n ’s Hospital operating room during the nine months he was here. There were twenty-one cases in all.

In-patients are ever with us. Fully a third of the one hundred thirty-one were children under ten years of age. Resentment and fear are giving way.

There is no doubt that a large part of each day could be spent making free outcalls. It would be an excellent evangelistic opportunity, but it is not possible to do so. Free calls are made, but this, in the main, remains an earning department. People are exceedingly poor, clinics bring in little, but I have been able to collect considerable from other departments and Dr. Mylrea has cleared a good s u m on surgery done for some wealthy women.

Vaccination has become popular since the great loss of children from smallpox during the epidemic of 1932. Last winter w e could not get hold of enough vaccine to keep abreast of the demand. There were 1027 vaccinations done, however, and a satisfyingly large number of “takes .

Clinics keep an average of 140-150. There were m a n y mid-summer days w h e n I saw over two hundred. T h e electric fans were a great asset. W o r k began early and there seemed never to be an end. Every credit is due to the spirit and wor k of the meagre staff for w o m e n and children, for it was a great tax on everyone.

This wo r k is large and it is important and it merits— to say nothing of its demands for— a w o m a n doctor. T h e unfailing helpfulness of Dr. Mylrea is the greatest stronghold, and I place here m y very real appreciation. W e hope for funds to supply a thoroughly literate, qualified and reliable native helper. W e hope that Dr. Bruins m a y remain with us and mention again h o w keenly the w o r k feels the loss of Dr. Barny.

Evangelistic Work“All the w a y our Saviour leads us,W h a t have w e to ask beside?"

T h e above has been impressed on us more than ever this past year. Wi t h the ever decreasing finances G o d ’s Spirit has increased, and our prayer for deeper faith has been answered more than w e can say.

T h e W o m e n ’s Evangelistic wor k in Bahrain was carried on throughout the year not only by the missionary in charge but by all the ladies in the station and their two Arab helpers. •

O u r Thursday “at h o m e ” is as popular as ever. T h e w o m e n w h o come get a Bible message every time and w e often wonder h o w m u c h they grasp. M a n y come year after year and acknowledge that Christianity is better than M o h a mmedanism. The y can’t help seeing that, but the things that w e abhor seem commonplace to them.

Christmas happened to come just in the beginning of the month of fast­ing, so w e had our big entertainment in the evening outside. T h e school girls dramatized the Christmas story in a very pleasing manner. The y gave it on the veranda of the two-family Mission house, and the crowd w h o came had seats and air enough. Refreshments were served to at least 300, and everyone could partake because it was after sunset. W e had a special meeting for the poor and the girls gave their play again. W e had these w o m e n come alone as w e then distributed the w a r m clothing from the Guild Box.. Calling on the w o m e n in their homes was carried on as usual and m a n y

of the w o m e n returned our calls. If some of the ladies w h o used to live here should visit us, w e are sure they would see a vast difference in the freedom of the better-class women. These w o m e n are well versed in the K oran and can repeat most of it extremely well. O n e told m e the Koran was such a wonderful book that w h e n she read it she couldn’t under­stand it. I replied that ours was so wonderful that w e understood it and it was our daily Guide.

Hospital Evangelism; was carried on with daily clinic prayers for helpers and patients, visiting the in-patients and reading to them, and weekly prayer meetings for helpers and any w h o desired to come. The' hospital helper is never afraid of witnessing and is a great influence for good in the hospital. T h e girl w h o was recently baptized has been having lessons with her all summ e r and w e were surprised at her knowledge of the essentials of Christianity. She is to marry Abbas and he wants a Christian home. H e r family is willing, and they seem very happy.

Another girl w h o has been baptized fled from her h o m e three years ago fearing death from her angry relatives. She has been living with the hospital helper and going to school and it is largely these influences that made her ask for baptism. A niece of the hospital helper and her o w n g rown daughter also were baptized.

S o the seed is being sown day by day, in the church, in the schools, in the hospitals and in the homes, and our prayer for the year to come is that G o d ’s Spirit m a y direct m a n y to us w h o are thirsting after righteousness and that w e m a y lead them to the Fountain of Life.

A s I sit d o w n to review the work of the school year of 1933-34 I could rewrite m y report of 1932-33 with only a difference in figures, which as usual show an increase. O u r enrollment was 113 rather than 110. W h e n one has 54 desks crowded into space that would be comfortable for 40 and then tries to seat 60 and 70 pupils in the 54 desks, need one reiterate the phrase that has been written for some years n o w in this report: "We are still over- crotvdcd; we long for additional classroom space”?

T h e only change in the Faculty was the engaging of our graduate as a regular full-time teacher. In our last report she was a sixth grade pupil and a “pupil-teacher.” T h e Curriculum remains the same. This s u m m e r w e had printed our o w n Arabic Primer for use in the first grade.

During the year the pupils enjoyed their annual Christmas Party, s u m m e r Picnic and Last D a y Party. A fine Sewing Exhibit was displayed to interested friends toward the close of the year.

T h e Club has held regular meetings all year and all through summ e r vacation. In the spring, for the annual Guest Day, the members presented two plays, an elaborate six-act one in Arabic and a short humorous skit in English. All the rehearsals took place outside of school hours except the last dress rehearsal, which was given with the rest of the school as spectators, to their great wonder and delight. T h e play meant a great deal of wor k and was the Club’s greatest effort .along this line, but it was such a tremendous triumph that all their toil was forgotten in the glory of their achievement. T h e audience of specially invited guests was thrilled, not expecting such a wonderful program, so everyone went h o m e delighted and happy. M y o w n highest moments of joy came in seeing the girls off stage listening to their mates performing on stage. Th e y were tense in their fellow-feeling and overjoyed w h e n they heard their mates scoring successes. The y were a perfect working team, each unit feeling responsible and responsive to all the others.

Three of the school girls have been baptized this month. This item by rights belongs in the next report, since the n e w school year has begun, but it is too good to keep. All three are from our Orphanage. W e ask your prayers for these n e w “babes in Christ” that they m a y be kept faithful and strong, increasing in wisdom and grace, and also for the rest of the school that m a n y m a y be called to follow H i m w h o said, “Suffer the children to come unto me.” .

T h e Marion Wells T h o m s Memorial on the “H i g h w a y to Healing”

has sheltered 254 patients in this past year. Wi t h each patient abed there are usually two or more relatives attending w h o enjoy the hospitality of the w o m e n of the R.C.A. W e call this memorial a Hospital and a Dispensary, rightly so because of the m a n y medical activities within its walls. However, it might equally claim the na m e of Religious and Social Center, for such it has been to a larger number. I truly believe that if the author of “Road Builders”* had spent the past year with us questioning the m a n y going and coming, she might have received some such answers as these: “Here w e find love, sympathy, joy, a good time, and cool breezes on a hot day”, “No, w e do not want to be discharged yet, please let us stay another day. W h e n w e get h o m e w e have to put up with quarreling, etc.” S o m e would say: “W e have become acquainted with Christ and w e want to hear more about H i m and his teaching.”

A n attractive corner is our Baby W a r d and Orphanage. It draws visi­tors. T h e little tots reflect the happy smile of their Christian housemother. “W h e r e is Jesus?” says the hospital helper to her little ones, and upward stretch their little arms to the heavens while tiny lips attempt: “Jesus up there.” “Jesus Loves M e ” is sung by the older ones, as well as m a n y other h ymns they have learned in school. Three of our orphans received special instruction from Mrs. H a k k e n in preparation for the sacrament of baptism.

T h e busiest corner is our morning Dispensary. Here w e meet representa­tives of every class and age of w o m a n h o o d as well as bearers of every bac­terium and parasite, both visible and'invisible. Children’s diseases either due to malnutrition or aggravated by it are one of our main worries. Malaria no doubt heads the list of diseases but is rather encouraging to treat.

A patient of a fanatic M o s l e m sect confided in us secretly that she had been told by a religious leader that she was possessed of an evil spirit. “Please read over m e from your book and pray over m e the Christian’s prayer to drive this bad spirit out of m e ”, she said. “D o you believe that I a m possessed?” A few minutes’ conversation revealed a heartbreaking story too vile for print of influences sufficiently powerful to unbalance any mind. A n appeal to our all-powerful Physician was the only way. T h e patient was right in demanding the reading of the Christian’s book and the Christian’s prayer.

T h e daily staff morning prayers has developed into a Bible Class to which the' early arrivals (patients attending the dispensary) are invited. So w e believe and hope that the w o r k in the Marion Wells T h o m s Hospital is no longer “a key to open the door into a non-Christian community” only, but an “integral part of the Missionary enterprise” in Bahrain.

M U S C A TEvangelistic Work . _

This report is being written amid the beauty and the quiet of the Syrian hills. Several of our Arabian Mission have been here this summer. O u r rest has been a blessing to us, physically, mentally and spiritually.

I will try to tell you briefly of the workings of G o d ’s Spirit in some of the w o m e n in and around Muscat.

There is a w o m a n in w h o m the Spirit of the Lord is working. She has secretly declared her faith in Christ and is gradually gaining courage to show where her interests and desires are. She is married and has two children, and whatever decisions she makes will affect them directly and it m a y be her o w n relation with them. A s w e think of these and m a n y others w h o have caused us to hope and then consider the difficulties that are so great, w e remember the words of St. Paul, “A great door and effectual is opened unto m e and there are m a n y adversaries.”

There is another w o m a n w e have learned to k n o w during the year. Mrs. Harrison first came into contact with her in the Muttrah Hospital. Later, w e saw her several times in Birket on our bi-weekly tours. The w o m a n had cancer and was told there was no cure for her, so she desired to return to her people that she might die there. She lingered on beyond the doctor’s expectation. In this w o m a n there was such a spirit of peace and resignation, such a fearlessness at the thought of death and such an expectation of being with the Lord that it has caused us to wonder. She was always glad to hear the messages from our Book, yet at no time did she seem to doubt her o w n faith by which she had lived all of her life. She spoke confidently of her dying and longed to be relieved of her pain. O n e week, whe n she bade; us goodbye, she said, “I don’t k n o w if I shall be here wh e n you come again. If I am, come, for I want to see you, but if I have gone I shall be with m y Lord.” H e r whole attitude was one of blessing us as m u c h as being blessed; her peace and trust in G o d seemed no less than that of m y Christian friend w h o m I have seen facing “the last dread enemy”. A n d yet w e cannot say that she accepted Christ as w e understand it and think of it. O u r thoughts went back to Cornelius and to Peter’s words: “O f a truth I perceive that G o d is no respecter of persons; but in every nation he that feareth H i m and worketh righteousness is accepted with Him.”

T h e Sunday School has continued to be full of interest and encourage­ment. T h e enrolment is about that of last year. W e are pleased to see a larger number of Arabs attending. W e number six classes as before. It is not possible to put d o w n on paper all the influences at wor k in the hearts of the children which encourage the teachers. Creating an atmosphere for the reception of Christ and His message cannot easily be expressed in words. It is as w e deal, with these boys and girls that w e do see that precept upon precept . . . line upon line . . , here a little, there a little is producing changes. Each year the grim Reaper takes his toll from a m o n g the children. This year one of them was a very lovable Ar a b boy of about nine. H e was sick only from midnight till sun-up with a bad attack of malaria. His engaging smile, his courteous ways, and his eager participa­tion in everything in Sunday School had endeared him to us all and w e missed him very much. W h e n I called on his mother she told m e h o w he cherished the postcards he had received and h o w he planned to show them to his cousins in Birket next s u m m e r and tell them about the Sunday School in Muscat. T h e n she said something more which filled m e with gratitude and encouragement. She told h o w she had remonstrated at times

» with her lioy about coming to us so much. It is quite possible that there was as m u c h fear of our influence as consideration for us in this. But w h e n she tried to persuade him not to go, his simple, convincing answer was, “But she loves us.” So m a n y children, so m a n y things to attend to, that it is not always possible to do for them as w e would like to do, yet just to love them is the first step in fulfilling the Lord’s command, “Feed M y lambs.” '

O u r aim is to keep in touch with the older boys and girls w h o have to quit coming because of work or w h o get married. A beginning has been mad e with these older girls, most of w h o m are married. O n e morning a week they come to do some handwork, then w e have a Bible lesson, fol­lowed by games if they have time and refreshments once a month. But for all this there must be permission from guardians and husbands, and as these girls gro w older the, screws of Islam are put on more 'firmly.

Reading-lessons, housevisiting, receiving callers have all been part of the year’s wo r k as in the past. O n e w o m a n w h o has been coming for more than two years and w h o at one time seemed m u c h interested has decided against a closer approach to Christ. She seemed to be different last fall, less ready to participate. W e thought that perhaps she had been threatened.

Later she began to express opposing views. A s a Koran teacher she seemed to feel it was her duty to defend Islam before the other Mos l e m women. W e do k n o w that she has been spoken to by her group, w h o are from a strong and influential tribe, about her attendance at our services, and they would surely reproach her, being the daughter of one of their leading mullahs and herself a Koran teacher. And, also, although almost blind, she makes her scanty living by teaching the Koran to the children of some of the families of this group, and that pittance she so earns is in danger of being withheld. In' her last conversation she said: “I have learned m u c h and I like to. come but if in accepting the Christian teaching I must let m y o w n go I do not want to.” N o one had said anything to her about that, but Christ as the only W a y and the only N a m e by which w e can be saved has been proclaimed always and she has ma d e her o w n deductions. At times she seems like one pulled two ways and she is resisting. T h o u g h the door of direct help m a y be closed against us in her case the door of prayer cannot be closed.

Thus the w o r k has been carried on for another year. G o d ’s gracious invitation, “Loo k unto M e and be ye saved” has been proclaimed and w e k n o w that G o d ’s Spirit is working to bring m e n to Christ.

(Mrs. Dirk) M innie W . D ykstraMedical Work

T h e contrast between the daily attendance in the Muscat dispensary this past year and that of twenty years ago has been interesting. In those days there were five to twenty a d a y ; but this past year w e had from fifty to more than ninety. W e also had big attendances at morning prayers, w h e n the whole veranda was literally filled with all classes from various parts of the town. I wish I could report as m u c h progress in their attitude to the Gospel but I fear I must write, “Their ears are dull of hearing.”

W h e n I m a d e m y tour to Sohar and other villages in 1931— one hundred thirty miles to the north of Muscat— I saw the great need of dis­pensary w o r k a m o n g the village people and the opportunities that such a work could give to present the Gospel to them. In those days I had two nurses and m oney enough to keep the Muscat wo r k open. But since that is im­possible at present, it was not an easy problem to decide just where the Lord wanted m e to w o r k this year. After m u c h prayer the w a y opened for m e to come and spend a few months on this north coast at Khabora, where before there were such crowds of people calling daily. A Presby­terian friend sent m e a check to meet this expense and I a m grateful.

W e came to Khabora the nineteenth of October and are having a daily attendance of from fifty to ninety-five. They come from miles a w a y along the coast and from inside of O m a n . W e are having more Bedouin w o m e n than I have had before. Sometimes they walk three days and a half carry­ing a sick baby. The y come all hours of the day. O n e day at twelve wh e n w e were closing for lunch, w e looked out and saw twenty camels coming in, carrying Arabs on to another place. Most of them came up for m e d ­icines and one m a n with very bad eyelids remained for a trichiasis opera­tion. H e turned out to be an influential m a n in his village, and through him others are coming.

T h e village Arabs have been listening seriously to the Gospel. But some have such dull minds they can hardly understand h o w to take the simplest instructions for drinking their medicines. Islam most certainly withers the mind. _

W e are living in date huts, with our tents stretched over the roofs to protect us if the rain comes. O u r sand floors are also covered with mats of date branches, so our liying is comfortable but extremely simple.

T h e local ruler has shown sympathetic interest in our work, which

means m u c h help to us. In fact his soldiers have not only been respectful to us but have borrowed m y N e w Testament and have been reading it hours at a time.

W e praise our Heavenly Father for the health to carry on this work. W e praise H i m for making us realize more clearly our o w n insufficiency in these problems and our need of relying or abiding in H i m and taking from H i m continuously His wisdom, His patience and His grace. W e praise H i m for the n e w life, strength and spiritual courage and faith w e receive daily from His written Word.

W e desire your prayers that the Holy Spirit m a y touch the W o r d of G o d with His power and, life as w e give it out to these village Arabs.

Sarah L. H osmonEvangelistic W o r k A M A R A H •

In reviewing the wor k of the past year, w e cannot say that w e have had tangible results, but! w e have obeyed our Lord’s command, teaching His message of love by precept and example. M o r e and more one feels that the Mosl e m looks up to the missionary for the example of a consistent Christian life. In this w e ought not to fail, always pointing him to the Perfect Example, Jesus Christ, w h o can save him from sin and death.

Personally I have received real joy and help in teaching others. S o m e ­times I have felt that thei message was in vain, falling on unwelcoming ears and hard hearts— then again there seemed to be a response for a time, only to be choked by the cares of this world. T h e wor k has been m u c h the same as that of other years— individual Bible teaching and Arabic reading lessons in addition to prayer meeting and Bible talks. S o m e of the leper w o m e n are very eager to hear the message which they receive three times a week, and it is gratifying to have them remember the lessons and apply the teaching.

W e are happy to have a Christian convert with us here in Amarah. It is so refreshing to hear her testimony and to see the eagerness and fear­lessness with which she tells everyone she meets about Christ, her Saviour. M a y G o d bless her richly and m a k e her a means of bringing m a n y w o m e n out of darkness into the light.

All available time outside of giving lessons was spent in making calls and receiving callers. O h ! that some of our better-class friends would really desire the Truth. T h e religious ones are too fanatic and those w h o have of this world’s goods are not interested. H o w can w e awaken in them a hunger and thirst for the Salvation Christ offers? W e humbly pray for wisdom to handle these problems and m a n y others which face us in His W o r k from day to day.Medical W o r k (Mrs. William) Cora M oerdyk

There are several doctors in Amarah, a good Government Hospital, any number of licensed midwives and a school nurse, but the Mission Hospital continues to draw crowds of patients and continues to maintain its place in the life of the community. A n d its place is that of a Christian institution, where all that w e do is done in the nam e of and for the sake of Christ. It is our aim to keep this always before the minds of the people. But this is sometimes difficult to do. T h e poor come to us for help and are given what they need, and the suffering come for relief and get it, but some of them get the idea that w e are out here for that purpose only, and they are out for all they can get. But the fact remains that every patient w h o comes to the hospital, whether rich or poor, is a spiritually needy person, and w e are here to fell them that they need Jesus Christ, w h o has a message for them.

T h e daily clinics for w o m e n center around Thursdays, when all the poor patients are seen by the doctor free of charge. T h e large crowds are far more orderly than they were a few years ago, which is due to Miss

Lutton’s untiring efforts at establishing law and order in the waiting-room. During the s u m m e r she is there from 6 A. M . until the last of the two hundred or more patients has 'picked up her crying babies and broken cup or medicine bottle and passed through the door into the office.

In Obstetrical W o r k the total number of cases in nine months is higher than last year’s total for 12 months (1933, 80; 1934, 92). Twenty-two of these were in the hospital. I a m sorry to report that only thirteen of the entire number paid fees, but on the other hand a m happy to report that again the record is one of 1 0 0 % recovery; that is, a m o n g the 92, there was not one case of infection. It has been encouraging to see patients coming in from outside villages. It is difficult to keep these patients in hospital as long as they should be there. Their idea is to pick up their babes and walk out about the second or third day. Every year the record of the mothers is better than that of the babies. T h e mother receives after-care for a week or more and then resumes her normal duties if she has not done so before that time. But after the nurse’s last visit, the helpless n e w baby is left to the too tender mercies of the mother and relatives, with the usual disastrous results. I keep in touch with as m a n y as I can, and try to help and instruct them, but m a n y of the babies have died, if not during the first year, then the second. Child Welfare W o r k has been started by the Health Department in Baghdad; w e hope that the enthusiasm will spread. T h e pre-natal wo r k w e began last year is pro­gressing as w o m e n are being educated to it.

Leper Work for Women— Last year w e reported 14 leper w o m e nbeing cared for in our leper colony. T h e present number is 13, one of these a girl of about 12. Six n e w patients were admitted during the year, but an equal number left or were discharged and one died. Seven n e w out­patients came for treatment but stopped coming after a few injections. O f the leper w o m e n at present under our care, two have been treated for over two years, eight over one year, and the remaining three for six months.

This concludes the Medical Report but I wish to add a few words about the Sunday School. T h e class remains about the same in attendance— from 40 to 70. T h e increase is always near Christmas-time. T h e most regular ones have been with us for four and one-half years. The y are all poor children— except the Sabeans, w h o are older and form a separate class— m a n y of w h o m get hardly enough to feed them and keep them clothed decently. T h e y receive no education whatsoever and no h o m e training, and the short time they spend with us every Sunday morning is not trans­forming their lives so that one could notice it, but w e cannot help feel that w e are bringing them a little w a y along the road that leads to Jesus Christ, and w e go on patiently from week to week hoping that some day they m a y see H i m beckoning them at the end of the road.

American School for Girls— T h e school is indeed a little world of its own. O n e feels a difference in the atmosphere the m o m e n t one steps through the doorway of the house which serves as school building. Clean­liness and happiness are to be found here.

At 7:30, 8 :00, or 8:30, according to the season of the year, the school bell is rung and the girls line up in the courtyard by classes, and soon a hundred voices or more are lustily singing an Arabic hymn. The n they recite one of m a n y Psalms which they have committed to memory, or the T e n Commandments, and that is followed by an English prayer h y m n such as, “Father of All, T h y Child a m I”, or “Father, Lead M e D a y by D a y ”. Th e n the girls go up to the classrooms built around the court.

There are wide verandas on two sides, which serve as recitation rooms

whe n both classes that occupy one room have recitation periods that .coin­cide. In winter, w h e n the rooms with their brick floors are most u n c o m ­fortably cold, every class vies for a place on the sunny veranda, which w e call our “sun-parlor”. A t recess, instead of going d o w n to the courtyard to play, all try to get a; bit of war m t h from the sun. “In s u m m e r quite the other w a y ”, they try to find the spot farthest a w a y from the sun. W e can’t use our surdabs, the cellar-like rooms so popular in the hot weather, because lighting and ventilation in them are not adequate for school work, but w e begin w o r k as early in the day as w e can and dismiss the pupils at one o’clock. T h e heat is terrific at that time of the day, but the girls, after their noonday meal, sleep for an hour or more before preparing their lessons for the following day. Neither the cold of our two winter months nor the heat which begins in April are conducive to good study, and one often marvels at the amount of w o r k accomplished.

Most of our girls from the poorest families are married off while quite young, and it is some consolation to k n o w that they have had a few happy, helpful years in wholesome surroundings, years in which they have learned something of what purity of life and integrity, as taught by O n e w h o m they have learned in some measure to revere, m a y mea n to them.

T h e marriage age for those of the so-called upper classes is very m u c h higher because those girls are remaining in school for a term of years which is steadily increasing. O f the eighteen girls w h o have graduated from our Junior Hi g h School, twelve have gone on to higher schools, half of them in Baghdad and the others to Beirut; four have married— three to m e n w h o have had some training abroad in their professions and the fourth to a business man. T h e first of our graduates to go to Beirut has graduated from the American School for Girls there, and is n o w teaching in the G o v ­ernment School of H o m e Arts, the American principal of which is m u c h pleased with her work.

It is interesting to see the reaction of n e w teachers to our school. T h e group of Syrians from which our teachers come is a Christian group and most of their associates have been Christians. Two-thirds of our pupils are from non-Christian homes and the teachers who- come to us are sur­prised to find them so responsive to the Christian message. O n e of them gets quite excited w h e n she talks of her Bible Class and the thoughtful w a y in which questions had been answered in an examination after a two months’ course in the Gospel of Matthew.

M o r e and more one learns to appreciate the opportunity in a Mission School of having students under instruction not only day after day, but month after month, and in m a n y cases, year after year. A n d each year does so definitely show progress in the school as a whole and in individuals. There are the girls w h o m w e have been on the point of expelling for fear their influence over the others was bad but still held on in the hope of being able to help them; w e are being richly rewarded, in some cases at least, by seeing them m a k e more and more of an effort to be like the older girls w h o m they have learned to admire. A n d there are these older girls, in turn, feeling responsible for helping those w h o have little opportunity of learning anything worthwhile except at school.

T h e Junior High School girls have learned a prayer which begins, “Grant, 0 Lord, that this day which T h o u hast given us in mercy m a y be returned to Thee in service”. So, O Lord, m a y the lives which T h o u hast given us Ije returned to Thee in Service. A n d again in the words of the prayer, “If in anything w e fail or come short, through ignorance or w e a k ­ness, O God, let T h y fatherly wisdom correct us, and Thine infinite mercy forgive us, and T h y divine love amend our fault; through Jesus Christ our Saviour .

Grace W . O lcott, Secretary for Arabia

A N N U A L REPORTS For the Year Ending May, 1935

C O R R E S P O N D I N G SECRETARYA year “of lights and shadows intervolved!” Sometimes the clouds

seemed dark, indeed, but clouds are transient, and shadows are evidence that above and beyond the clouds, there is a Sun clear-shining.

T o some of our members has come the high privilege and joy of. ascent beyond the cloud-line,

“W h e r e loyal hearts and true Stand ever in the light,All rapture through and through In G o d ’s most holy sight.”

Others of us have come close to the border and been sent back to work a little longer here. M a n y of our Board M e m b e r s and Missionaries have seen dear ones “vanish out of their sight”, leaving earth lonelier, but bringing heaven nearer. Several times during the year w e have been called to sympathize with the W o m e n ’s Board of Domestic Missions as the shadows of illness, accident and death have swept acsess their sky. T h e passing of Mrs. John S. Bussing and Mrs. Dirk Scholten has brought personal loss to both Boards.

O f our o w n Mrs. Eben E. Olcott, for twenty-eight years devoted Secretary for Arabia, and Mrs. Frederick S. Douglas, eleven years Treas­urer of the Board and fifteen years Vice-President for the Synod of N e w Brunswick it is difficult to write more than has already been said, not because there is not more— m u c h more— to say, but because their personal friendship, their comradeship in service, their worldwide influence, extend­ing into the world eternal, can never be estimated or told by tongue or pen. Is it too m u c h to assume that in the achievement of the “impossible” by the Board this year and in the ripening of the long-awaited harvest they still are sharing by their continued intercession? So must it be also with the beloved physician, Dr. Lewis Scudder, reunited n o w with an innumerable host of friends w h o m his spiritual ministry in India brought into the K i n g d o m of Heaven. W e could not grieve at the translation of our H o n ­orary Vice-President, Mrs. J. S. N. Demarest; it seemed so fitting that she should so swiftly follow her husband into the other H o m e .

W e are sorry to lose from our membership Mrs. Charles W a g n e r and Mrs. N o r m a n V. Peale, both from the Marble Collegiate Church. W e wel­come as n e w members Mrs. G. H. Tellman of Muskegon, Michigan, Mrs. Charles Tuxill of Marble Collegiate Church, Mrs. Martin de Wolfe (Ruth Scudder), formerly of India, and Miss M a r y S u y d a m of Highland Park, N. J.

Changes in the Classical Committee are as follows: Mrs. T h o m a sHughes, through the transfer of the First Church of Passaic to the Classis of Paramus, becomes associated with Mrs. H a wkins in Paramus Classis. Mrs. Peter Keyset succeeds Mrs. Hugh e s in Passaic Classis; Mrs. A. W . Hopper, because of residence in N e w Y o r k City, resigns from Palisades Classis. Mrs. David R. Reese succeeds Mrs. Hopper in the Classis of Palisades. Mrs. J. A. V a n W y k and M r s Lester Kuyper, respectively, have been appointed Associate Classical Committees in Muskegon and Grand Rapids. Mrs. H e n r y Zoller, Classical Committee for Montgomery Classis, having celebrated, her 95th birthday, injured her hip in a fall and

missed the Classical Missionary Conference for the first time in forty-six years! Another record worthy of note is that of Mrs. A n n a Bruins, Classis of Pella, who, though a patient at Bethesda Sanitarium in Denver, Colo, throughout the winter, has faithfully attended to all her Committee correspondence. T o all our Classical helpers w e would express sincere appreciation of all they have done to further the interests of this foreign department of the Reformed Church Mission work.

T h e Board’s adventures in co-operation have been happy and profitable. It has been the privilege of the President, the Corresponding Secretary and the Recording Secretary to represent the W o m a n ’s Board at the meetings of the Board of Foreign Missions and its Executive Committee. The Corresponding Secretary, with the Secretary for each field, has attended the meetings of Synod’s Board’s Field Committees. These n e w relations have, w e feel, been mutually helpful and w e express herewith to Synod’s Board our recognition of this courtesy, whereby the W o m a n ’s Board becomes more thoroughly informed of the policies and actions of both the Board and the Missions. A shadow is cast upon this happy experience by the coincident resignation from the Secretaryship of the Board of Foreign Missions of Dr. William I. Chamberlain, whose missionary states­manship, renowned, far beyond the confines of our Reformed Church, w e have been accustomed to jean upon with assurance and comfort and whose genuine friendship has been our delight. T h e time of farewell has not yet come, but the time of well-wishing is always present. For the first time the two Foreign Boards united in the promotion of Foreign Missions month in the churches by the joint publication of a pictorial and informa­tional calendar for February entitled “O u r W o r l d Neighbors”.

O u r closer cooperation with the W o m e n ’s Board of Domestic Missions through the Joint Committee of the W o m e n ’s Boards, supplementing the ever friendly relations of the Board officers, has mad e possible joint c o m ­munications to the auxiliaries on some matters in which the correspondence from the two Boards has frequently overlapped. W e would m a k e clear to the auxiliaries that this is merely a Committee of the two Boards, not a joint organization, and that letters should be addressed to the separate Boards, not, as frequently happens, to the Women’s Boards of Missions. This address to a non-existent partnership is confusing and inconvenient because the two Boards have separate and distinct offices and staffs. S o m e confusion arises also from the application of W o m e n ’s Societies to the Missionary Education Department or- the Y o u n g W o m e n ’s Department for help with w o m e n ’s society programs. While there is closest cooperation between the Boards and the Missionary Education Department, to which w e constantly look for the helps and suggestions which it is so well qualified to give, the correspondence regarding W o m e n ’s and Junior W o m e n ’s Societies (not Y o u n g W o m e n ’s Leagues) should be addressed to the W o m e n ’s Boards. Tho u g h the reorganization of the Boards of Education and Publication ordered by General Synod last June placed the Missionary Education Department under the aegis of the Board of Education instead of under the Mission Boards, it is still financed by the four Mission Boards and serves as their educational agency in Church, Sunday School, Y o u n g People’s Societies and children’s groups.

For a time it seemed as if w e should have to release Miss Weddell from her service as Y o u n g W o m e n ’s Secretary to give full time to the arduous duties of the Missionary Education Department. T h e young w o m e n of the Church will rejoice with the Boards that Miss Weddell still finds it pos­sible to carry part time w o r k in each department. Tho u g h relieved of the secretaryship of the Youth Fellowship, she continues her service also to

that group in their Missionary Education program.O n e of the co-operative adventures of the W o m e n ’s Boards has been

the preparation and publication of the first units of a series of programs covering H o m e and Foreign Missions in an endeavor to provide a variety of program material suited to all types of societies. T h e first five numbers are off the press; the others will be ready before fall. Those already published are:

Discovering Orientals in the United States— Miss Brickman Talking Pictures of Japan— Mrs. Sutphen and Miss Weddell Marked. Trails— Miss Brickman Lamps'of India— Mrs. de Wolfe China’s Gateways— Mrs. Renskers

In connection with the Japan program, because of the special interest in this year’s text-books on Japan, our Board has published also a playlet entitled “A s Told by Themselves”, based on “Japanese W o m e n Speak” (the text book by Miss Michi Kawai) and a large sheet of pictures of “O u r W o r k and Workers in Japan”. These supplement the leaflets on Japan prepared by Miss O. H. Lawrence last spring— “Influence of Ferris Seminary”, “Roof Chapel” and “Life in a Japanese Dormitory”.Aside from these, the Year Book and the popular little N E W S quarterly, the Board has published no n e w literature this year.

Because the Foreign text book for 1935-36, “W o m e n Under the Southern Cross”, does not touch our Foreign Mission work, w e are recom­mending to societies for the coming year the intensive study of the above harmonized programs and Basil M a t h e w ’s “W o r l d Tides in the Far East”, a text-book illuminating and enthralling from the Lytton Commission m a p that serves as frontispiece to the final paragraph on “T h e tides of G o d ”.

T h e merger of The Christian Intelligencer and The Leader in the weekly Intelligencer-Leader provides a medi u m for missionary letters and articles and news notes on mission work.

Timely additions have been made to our Circulating Library, which w e should like to see more truly “circulating”. Three charming books from Japan about Japan have been presented to the library by Miss Florence Walvoord and Miss Helen Zander: “Changing Japan, Seen Through theCam e r a ”, “Japanese Traditions of Christianity”, and “Dolls on Display”.

W e are happy to welcome to our fellowship seven n e w societies of w o m e n : the Ladies’ Aid of Ripon, Cal.; the King’s Daughters of M o h a w k , N. Y., the Ladies Aid of Conklin, Mich., the Ruth Society of First Clifton, N. J. and the auxiliaries of Moddersville, Mich., Ackley, Iowa and Fort Miller, N. Y. W e are ma d e glad, too, by the ready acceptance by twenty Y o u n g W o m e n ’s Leagues that have grown to maturer years of our invita­tion to become directly affiliated with the W o m e n ’s Boards as junior w o m e n ’s auxiliaries: namely,L. E. N. Service Circle, Delmar Y. W . C. L. S., Oradell Y. W . C. L. S., Grand Rapids Central Loyal Circle, Kalamazoo First Dorcas Band, Kalamazoo, North Park League for Service, Port Jervis Goo d Speed Club, Grahamsville Y. W . M. S., North Bergen Eendracht Guild, W a r w i c k Banner Bearers, Otley

Y. W . L„ Pella Second Y. W . L. S., Raritan Third Y. L. M. B., E. Williamson Philathea, Palmyra Loyal Daughters, Williamson Willing Workers, Williamson Y. L. M . B., Pella, Neb.C. L. S., M o u n t Vernon Far & Near, First Tarrytown Y. W . L. S., Second Tarrytown

Fiftieth Anniversaries have been celebrated by the auxiliaries of Guilderland Center; Grand Haven, Michigan; Nutley, N. J.; Elmhurst, N. Y.

There have been especially bright days in our calendar: T h e M a yAnniversary, w h e n w e enjoyed to the full the hospitality of the Bronxville C h u r c h ; Ladies’ D a y at General Synod at Grand Rapids, whe n the Mic h ­igan Societies accepted a young life offered to Arabia and sounded out the call to increased giving which sent Dr. M a r y Bruins to the Mission Field and will maintain her there for her first five years of service; our 60th Birthday at the Matble Collegiate Church, whe n our guest speakers were Dr. Ida Scudder, Mrs. John V a n Ess and Miss Tena Holkeboer and our guest singer was Miss Y osko Saito, a Ferris Seminary graduate, whose nightingale voice, consecrated to the service of Christ, has w o n for her the appellation of “the Jenny Lind of Japan”. T h e W o r l d D a y of Prayer on M a r c h 8th was observed more widely, and w e believe more deeply, than ever before, as the Christian w o m e n “from the rising of the sun to the going d o w n of the same” brought each other’s burdens to H i m whose kindly yoke lightens the heaviest load.

T h e special promotional devices of the year were “First Fruits”, suc­cessfully carried over from the s u m m e r of 1933, summ e r cards and dime cards and the dedication of shining George Washington quarters during the Foreign Missions month of February. W e urge the continuance of these devices as long as the supply lasts. Valentine boxes for the Sunday School children on Foreign Missions Sunday, accompanied by letters from Mrs. Olcott in India and Miss Platz in China, met with unusually generous response, giving evidence that these two “Sunday School Missionaries” are being implanted in the consciousness and the conscience of the Sunday Schools as their special responsibility.

Not all promotion, by any means, originates with the Board. The Western Advisory Committee planned and the Western Classes carried through the most inspirational series of fall conferences ever reported to the Board. T h e Classes of Grand Rapids, Holland, Muskegon and Kala­mazoo experienced the blessing of the “blijmoedigen gever" in volunteering and securing in full the support of Dr. M a r y Bruins. T h e Classis of Kalamazoo appointed a Classical Program Committee which organized a simultaneous program for the entire Classis so that all should be considering the same topics in the same month. Result, a bombardment of the Board for materials and enthusiastic meetings throughout the Classis. In April, leaders from Kalamazoo motored to Detroit and with the help of mission­aries conducted an enthusiastic conference in miniature for that outpost of the Classis. ,

T h e lamented detention of missionaries in this country for lack of funds to return them to their fields has worked for good to the societies in pro­viding an unusual number of speakers, both east and west. There is little doubt that their ungrudging use of time and strength in “deputation w o r k ” has helped to effect the remarkable results reported by the Treasurer today as follows:

“T h e 1934-35 Budget, originally set at $119,000. was of necessity cut to $107,725.14 to m a k e possible a balanced Budget for the year closing April 30.

“W e report with thanksgiving a gain in our Budget receipts (including income from investments) $105,138.94 as against $103,301. of last year. Included in this amount is a slice ($5,152.41) off our obligation to the Board of Foreign Missions, also payment in full to the Union Christian Colleges of $1250. due M a y 1, 1934.

“T h e total Budget, payments amounting to $107,725.14 were fully bal­anced by appropriating legacies and a special gift.

“N o n e w debt was incurred this year, and w e pray the old will grad­ually decrease in the n e w year as w e apply ourselves individually and collectively to the privilege w e have as members of our Church to supportthe work. •

“W e record with gratitude the following bequests:F r o m Estate M a r y L. Forsyth . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $1,000.00

Estate A d a L. Morris (additional) .......... 261.72Estate Ella H. Freeman (a/c $500. Bequest)... 250.00Estate Louise Corbin .................... 250.00

Balance to complete $1,000. endowment in M e m o r y of Mr. Nathan V a n Wagenen, by his daughter, for a bed in the M a r y Lott Lyles Hospital, Madanapalle $400. Also special gifts to carry on—

In M e m o r y of Mrs. E. E. Olcott ........... $ 180.00In M e m o r y of Mrs. Sarah Y. Jackson (for Arabia) 400.00”

Miss Bacon adds to her report this appeal: “W o m e n of the Church,awake 1 This is your year of opportunity for the w o m e n and children of the Orient, and they must have the message for better living. W e beseech you to m a k e your project the whole budget'this year, and k n o w those w h o are serving you at the front.”

(For the full report of the Treasurer see pages 97 to 122).Special extra contributions have sent Miss Coburn, Dr. Gibbons and

Miss Vander Linden back to their fields and enabled Mr. and Mrs. Stege- m a n to return to Japan to take up the w o r k in Ferris Seminary that Dr. and Mrs. Shafer are obliged to relinquish. Miss Oudemool and Miss Van- derberg as well as Dr. Bruins, the miracle of whose maintenance was recognized in last year’s report, have reached their fields. T h e presentation of a Nursing H o m e at Bahrein by the Standard Oil C o m p a n y of California is n o w an accomplished fact. Miss Oudemool is resident nurse at this little infirmary, Dr. Bruins is having her initiation in medical practice and the Arabic language at Kuwait, and Miss Vanderberg, teaching at High Clerc School at Kodai Kanal, has been received as an honorary m e m b e r into the Arcot Mission.

Missionaries detained at h o m e are gradually finding their places in American life. Rev. and Mrs. George W . L a u g of Japan have been called to the n e w Indian Mission at Macy, Nebraska; Rev. and Mrs. Martin de Wolfe are being installed today in the Church of Teaneck, N. J. W e still lament the prolongation of furloughs here, the postponement of fur­loughs from the field, cut salaries, forfeited vacations, withdrawal of sup­port from schools and dispensaries. W e again implore the w o m e n ’s societies to continue their contributions in full, regardless of the disposition mad e on the field, that the surplus of one m a y m a k e up for the lack of another. W e again caution the auxiliaries to send their gifts direct to the W o m a n ’s Board of Foreign Missions that they m a y reach the destination for which they are intended. Above all, w e entreat their full support of all the wor k within the Board’s budget, however enticing the appeal of causes outside the budget m a y be. N e w missionaries cannot be sent, ad­vance w o r k cannot be undertaken, while the present workers are under­paid and existing w o r k crippled for lack of adequate support.

There are fights that play upon the shadows of these testing times. There is an increasing acceptance of responsibility by the Christians on the field such as impelled the Chinese of A m o y to reconstruct the Girls’ Middle

School building at a cost of $37,000. and the Patrons’ Association of Baiko Jo Gakuin to present an additional classroom building to the school at a cost of 13,000 Yen. There is; a spirit of determination that the wo r k shall go on in spite of handicaps: Bible W o m e n , reduced to half pay, cheerfully give full time to their work; teachers contribute from their reduced salaries to the expenses of their ischools; Sherman Memorial Girls’ H i g h School voluntarily assumes self-support w h e n funds from America fail. Mission­aries of the Arcot Mission and Indian Christians have averted a deficit for the year by voluntary sacrificial gifts accompanied by prayer.

Everywhere is spiritual awakening. W e are deeply stirred by the report from Arabia of baptisms, of Christian fellowship, of the first Christian wedding, of the readiness of inland people to hear the Gospel, of the at­tendance of large numbers of children at Sunday Schools, unhindered by Mos l e m parents; by the news of revival in China and of amazing evangelistic services in A m o y ; by the confession of Christ and dedication of life to H i m of scores of our school-girls in Japan. U p o n them hath the Light shined and the Sun of Righteousness arisen with healing in his wings.

A s Miss V a n Doren said to the school-girls at Chittoor: “There arem a n y adversaries . . . but if our hope is in God, and if w e believe that H e has called us to this work, w e shall be able to meet difficulties with courage and a smile.” Always in the darkest hours

“Standeth G o d amid the shadows,Keeping watch above His own.”

MISSIONARY E D U C A T I O N A N D Y O U N G W O M E N ’S W O R KA s w e look back over the past year w e are conscious that it has been

one of great significance and w e would record here briefly those particular events and trends that have affected us as a Department of Y o u n g W o m e n ’s W o r k and Missionary Education. ’

I. “Something is happening today”— so begins the first chapter of the Y o u n g People’s Study book for 1935-36, which chronicles the striking hap­penings a m o n g groups of Christian young people throughout our country as they set themselves to Build a N e w World. T h e story reads like some of the chapters in the B o o k of Acts where w e see those first Christian young people setting out to rebuild the world after the pattern set for them by their Friend and Master, Jesus Christ. “The y are upsetting our world,” the people cried; and as these young disciples traveled from place to place in the ancient world the warning was sent out to the people in these ex­pressive w o r d s : “Th e y have come w h o are turning the world upside down.” Today again there is a crusade of youthful disciples w h o are bent on the task— yes, of turning the; world upside d o w n because they say it is n o w wrong side up and must be righted. A n d they are doing it today as of old for Christ’s sake. Thirteen thousand youth representing a larger host of some one hundred thousand have been meeting in Conferences planning their crusade. H o w is it touching us ? It is putting a n e w and vital spark into m a n y an existing group of Christian Endeavorers, it is inspiring anew m a n y a League for Service. O n e group recently said, “Y o u see w e ’ve c o m ­mitted ourselves to a Christian program— and it’s going to m e a n things w e ’ve never before done.”

II. T h e rapid progress of the Youth Fellowship to include the majority of the young people of our Reformed Churches is a striking example in our o w n denomination of this awakening a m o n g young people. Its program is linked closely with the National Christian Youth program

with an added emphasis on denominational programs and projects for sup­port. T h e M o v e m e n t is essentially missionary in its emphasis and through it almost $2000. has come into the Mission Board treasuries during the year.

III. A very noticeable trend in the past year following a beginning mad e last January is seen in the numbers of young people w h o are being brought into the Councils and Boards of missionary groups. T h e Foreign Missions Conference and the H o m e Missions Council received as special delegates young people under thirty and gave them real opportunity to express themselves. In our o w n denomination leaders ‘ are being chosen from our Leagues for actual participation in the Boards’ programs, as m e m ­bers, as presiding officers for rallies. Such a sharing of thought and ideals of younger and older members of our churches is a promising step ahead.

IV. During the year a merger of great significance to our department took place, namely: the combining of all the educational agencies of the denomination. B y vote of General Synod in June of 1934 the Department of Missionary Education became a part of the Board of Education, which meant the separating of what has been for five years the combined Depart­ment of Y o u n g W o m e n ’s W o r k and Missionary Education. These five years, however, have seen progress and growth in both avenues of our task which seemed to the Mission Boards to call for full-time departments for both of these important agencies of our missionary task. T h e budget has been revised with very slight increase and the present staff adjusted with no increased personnel to m a k e this possible. T h e merger as it is working out seems to promise real progress in effective and more far-reaching and unified wor k in missionary education.

V. W e cannot overlook the increased interest and growth in summer conferences. O n e hundred girls attended Northfield last year. Thirty-five were in attendance at Pine Lodge, eighty-two at Stony Brook, Lon g Island, and ninety-four at Burden Lake, N. Y. in its first year. T h e contagion of these conferences has spread to Iowa and Michigan where two new conferences are to be held this s u m m e r taking the place of Pine Lodge which has had to be discontinued this year. Missionary education is given a place of prominence in all these programs and no one can estimate the value to our more than five hundred young people w h o receive each summer this specialized type of Christian training.

VI. This year saw the initiation of W o r l d Service Schools,— a systematic plan for enrolling Church Schools in a missionary education program concerning the work of our o w n church in the Domestic and Foreign fields. N o one can deny the need of enlisting more of the rank and file of our church membership in missionary interest and support and this plan which included program materials, training of leaders, current information, reading lists and m a n y other forms of missionary education; is already proving its value in the denomination.

VII. Throughout our church groups there has been very evident as the year has progressed a slight recovery and increase along m a n y lines. M o r e n e w Leagues for Service have been organized'this year than in any recent year,— 25 in all— a m o n g high school age girls,— bringing the total of Leagues for Service to 400. There has been a consistent effort during a very difficult year to raise the amount accepted by Leagues for Service toward the budgets of the W o m e n ’s Boards and the total for the year is Domestic $7,586.41, Foreign $7,159.89 making a total of $14,749.30. Of this total $13,978.10 m a y be applied on the Y o u n g W o m e n ’s Projects. There are increasing numbers of requests for books from the Leaders’ Loan

Library, m a n y more churches are awake to the possibilities of missionary education. A s w e note this general tendency toward increased activity, interest and support w e would record the sobering fact that there are Leagues for Service in only half of our Reformed Churches, that too small a proportion of our Church Schools are as yet enrolled in the W o r l d Service Plan, that the large and encouraging numbers of Christian youth in crusade are after all a very small minority of American youth that need to be touched by the Gospel of Christ. W h e n w e read in the words of a N e w Y o r k Judge, that out of 8,000 prisoners in a certain institution, 4,000 were under twenty-one and only three of the whole group were ever m e m ­bers of a Church or Sunday school, and whe n w e remember that vast number of people in our o w n country and in the world w h o are yet untouched by the message and spirit of Christ, w e are spurred on to tasks more far-reaching and penetrating than any w e have yet undertaken. W h e n w e realize the growing lethargy and inaction of Christians in the cause of the world mission of the Church and the activity without purpose that goes on in so m a n y organized, Christian groups today, w e k n o w that what we have set our hand to is of the utmost importance, and to it— the building of informed, consecrated, worjd-minded Christians— w e would bring renewed faith and a steadier purpose, rejoicing in the rare opportunities and the almost unequaled challenges of the days that lie just ahead.

T H E S E W I N G GUILDT h e Sewing Guild comes before you today with its thirty-eighth Annual

Report. T h e year has been one of happy service and blessed privilege, and w e united with one of our faithful h o m e societies in their prayer that the dear Heavenly Father will add His blessing to our w o r k and to our gifts, and that they m a y assist in winning souls to Christ.

T h e first. “T h a n k Y o u ” letter came from Arabia and w e catch a glimpse of the pleasure our gifts afford. “After our return to Basrah w h e n vacation days were over w e found our Guild boxes on the veranda waiting to be opened. It is always such a pleasure to open them and see the treasures they contain. I a m so thankful for the m a n y w a r m dresses and our Guild box dresses could almost be said to be our school uniforms. All of our girls are of the poorer class and the dresses m a y be an attraction to get them to school. W e have a problem in keeping them in sewing materials and I would be glad for a big supply of thread, needles, scissors and material. T h e dolls will rejoice the heart of each child w h o wins one. T h e picture rolls I needed. T h e n e w blankets are m u c h appreciated, too. W e are very grateful for these boxes and would not k n o w what to do without t h e m ! There are so m a n y nice things tucked awa y in them which speak to us all of the devotion of the w o m e n in America and I do hope that next year you will again m a k e sure that this school receives its Sewing Guild box.”

F r o m another— A n Evangelistic W o r k e r writes: “M y Guild boxesarrived safely and I was iso happy to receive them. Since I a m the only one staying here through the s u m m e r I have an advantage over the others w h o are a w a y vacationing, for I have already had the joy of unpacking m y boxes and admiring the m a n y treasures hidden awa y in them. It gives m e a sense of joy and consolation to have all these lovely w a r m garments in readiness for the cold weather. There is so little w e can do for our poor friends and so m u c h w e would like to do that it gives us special cheer to realize that w e will not have to disappoint them this winter, and that

w e will again be able to supply each one of them with a w a r m garment. If you were to ask m e what I valued most in the boxes sent to me, I would answer the flannel garments, quilts and blankets. W e k n o w the w a r m gar­ments have been the means of opening doors and hearts where w e trust the nam e of Christ will yet become precious, and having received earthly good at our hands m a y they become willing to listen to heavenly things.”

F r o m one of the hospitals in Arabia comes this message: “Pleaseaccept m y hearty thanks for the wonderful boxes which came this week. I feel I ought to write on gold leaf or some such precious thing, as just everything is perfect. W e seemed to get' the things w e especially needed. O u r bandages and gauze had all but given out, and here were n e w bandages rolled and ready for use and gauze compresses ready for the sterilizer, and the sheets, cases, towels, etc., are so welcome. T h e baby garments fill a real need. Never have I appreciated the work of the Sewing Guild as m u c h as now. It gives us an inward sense of joy to think that w e have been able to relieve bodily suffering and to save lives, and above all, in the midst of busy lives, to point the people to the Great Physician of souls.”

Arabian BabiesW a r m little wraps for babies,In far off Arabia land;W h e r e children are born to misery Wit h no warmth or cheer at hand.While here in a land of plenty W e are blessed with wealth untold;W e can gladly give of our bounty T o the needy within G o d ’s fold.W h o knows what m a y be the outcome,Of a bit from our over supply? .These babes in a dreary desert *M a y some day answer the cry.S o m e day they m a y do for others,W h a t w e are n o w doing for t h e m ;Then let us give with tenderness O f that which w e have to spend.

F r o m India— “T h e Guild box figured very largely in so m a n y of the events which crowded into our busy Christmas season. I kept thinking of you through all those days w h e n calls were m a d e on m e to contribute gifts not only for Christmas, but for other purposes, too. A m o n g others, a poor old villager with a withered hand, w h o is unable to work, came seeking some clothing for his two daughters. It was a real joy to m e to help him out with a jacket and a petticoat for each daughter and I was glad I had received a Guild box and did not have to disappoint this old man. So, also, w h e n calls came for the Christmas treat for the w o m e n and children in the Vellore Jail. Mrs. Cornelius arranges this treat every year and depends on clothes w e can give her from the Guild boxes in addition to the private gifts she received from individuals in America. A n d then the Vellore Church and its flock of some seven hundred children below ten years of age were also helped by the contents of the boxes which came to us.

Christ says, ‘T h e poor ye have always with you’, and in India this is certainly true. H o w the mothers welcome the flannel dresses and squares to protect little heads and chests during the cold and rainy days, whe n bodies which are scantily clothed and poorly nourished feel the cold very much. Vellore has a large Sunday School Rally and a Christian Endeavor Rally every year, wh e n numerous prizes are given. For these, too, requests come to us for suitable articles. For them the scrap books, pencils, marbles, rulers, balls and pads are very useful. So you see your gifts to us did a world of good, for you made it possible for us to meet the m a n y demands which are made on a missionary in a big station like ours. W e have m a n y reasons to be glad that you are so faithfully keeping up the Sewing Guild at h o m e during these years of economic strain. W e are very grateful to you for making it possible for us to brighten the lives of the poorest of the poor. Y o u will realize, too, that there is every cause for us to hope that w e shall be remembered by you again this year. W h a t should w e do with­out a Guild b o x !

F r o m a busy doctor .- “T h e hospital supplies came just in time, when shelves were almost bare. Only the day before the arrival of the boxes one of the nurses asked me,, ‘D o you think there will come any boxes for us this year? If not, w e just must get some things out here. W e need so much, and where is the m oney!’ I answered— Yes I k n e w of one, for I heard that one was being prepared, and the very next day the railroad receipts came telling us there were seven for our station! Wit h what joy w e hustled to get boxes opened and unpacked, and w e were so happy to see so m a n y nice sheets at one time and the towels, pillow slips, bandages, dressings, hot water bottles, baby slips and blankets. Everything was so welcome.”

“Christmas has come and gone again,” writes another, “and w e once more had the privilege of making it a happy day for some five hundred children. This year w e gathered all the children in a central place. S o m e had to walk five miles! Most of them were there at 8:20 A. M . W e started the day with races of all kinds. The n came the program arranged by our pastor and then came the feeding of the five hundred. I fear there wasn’t a crumb of rice left. W e gave them all the rice and curry they could eat. M a n y had not seen rice for months. After all were satisfied they were called by villages. F r o m these the very poorest were selected and given clothes, the others a toy, a ball, pencil, marbles, and a chosen few a doll. T h e day ended with a handful of puffed rice mixed with brown sugar for each child— a real red-letter day in their empty little lives. Please do not forget us next year. M a n y letters have come from the h o m e folk telling of increased interest in the wo r k and of joy in this service done in the Master’s name.”

In bringing this report to a close I should like to take this opportunity to express m y thanks and appreciation to the m a n y w h o have helped to m a k e this year such a successful one. A s w e pledge anew our material help to the growing needs of the work, let us pledge to those w o m e n and children even greater things— Deeper interest in their welfare, greater love for their souls and more earnest prayer that they m a y be brought to the knowledge and love of Christ our Saviour.

“In this little while, does it matter,A s w e work and w e watch and w e wait,

If w e ’re filling the place H e assigns us,Be it service small or great?”

LIFE A N D M E M O R I A L M E M B E R S H I P SO u r list of Memorial Memberships since M a y 1934 includes the names

of six honored w o m e n of our Church w h o have been called into the larger reward. W h a t a splendid w a y to establish a memorial to loved ones. T o give to the w o r k to which they gave so much, to continue in their name the w o r k of the Master which was their love. It is the Memorial divine.

O u r list of Life Memberships since M a y 1934 includes the names of eighteen honored servants in our Church. T o establish a Life Membership for anyone is to establish a living and concrete interest in the wor k of our Missions. Each of these memberships was recorded with a prayer for a renewed and lasting interest in missions on the part of the one honored. A s each one was given a prayermate, it was done with a prayer that her prayers would help to sustain, to strengthen, to encourage and to m a k e conscious of the presence and power of God, the missionary on the Field.

M a y G o d fill the hearts of our people with the zeal for Life service in the eternal w o r k of His eternal kingdom. Wi t h this prayer in our hearts m a y w e look forward to m a n y Memorial and Life Memberships for next year.

Priscilla D. Palen, Chairman

T H E B A B Y R O L LW e are glad to report a small increase in the membership of the Baby

Roll over last year. A m o n g the 205 babies enrolled are two pairs of twins, and one missionary baby, N o r m a n Wells Thoms, son of Dr. and Mrs. W . W . T h o m s of the Arabian Mission. '

Let us not forget the H o m e s in A m o y , China and Vellore, India, which are supported by our Baby Roll, where the children learn to k n o w and love Jesus.

“A n angel paused in its onward flight With a seed of love and truth and light, 'A n d cried ‘Oh, where can this seed be sown,That it will be most fruitful wh e n it is grow n ? ’T h e Saviour heard, and said as H e smiled ‘Place it for M e in the heart of a child.’ ”

M a y more of us sow these seeds in the hearts of the dear children here and in the lands beyond, so that the little ones m a y learn in their youth to love and serve the dear Saviour and g r o w up to be witnesses for H i m w h o said:

“Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these, ye have done it unto Me.”
