Educational Work Girls? Primary School.— During the past year there has been a total enrollment of 443 girls in the school, of whom about one third were boarding pupils. A class of 56 was graduated in June, most of whom returned to pursue their studies in the High School in the autumn. The plan was followed this year for the first time of giving diplomas for the completion of Lower Primary, or Fourth Grade, work. The school was fortunate in having six graduates of the High School on the Staff as well as in having Dr. ■White, a # On furlough, 1925. t In America.

former graduate who had later studied medicine, give an hour a day to the school. This she did without remuneration, and one of the excellent results of her work was the discovery and treatment of a great deal of trachoma among the girls. In June, 31 girls united with the Church as a result of the hours of Bible study pursued throughout the whole school course, culminating in the last year in an intensive study of the text-book, “A Guide to Salvation,” under the teaching of Miss M. E. Talmage. ' During the summer 48 of the girls helped in the Vacation Bible Schools, of which there were 15 with 480 pupils. A useful organi zation in the school has been “The Kulangsu Christian Girls’ School Association.” More and more questions are arising which concern the girls’ schools as a whole and it is hoped that through this association help and wisdom may come to all. At Christmas time the girls decided to follow the practice of several years past in giving gifts to the poor. They contributed $143 with which they bought cloth for 246 women and children. The girls throughout the school, Christians and non-Christians alike, gave also to the work of the Chinese Home Missionary Society, collecting $190 to be forwarded to Shanghai for Home Missionary work in Hunan Province and Mongolia. Miss Beekman, who is in charge of the school, writes that there are “tremendous opportunities in such a ‘world of girls’ as are gathered'together in this school.” Girls’ High School.— During the first term of the year there were 57 pupils in the High School and in the second term there were 90, the larger number being partly due to the unsettled state of the country, which prevented girls from going to Foochow, Shanghai or Nanking for higher study. A class of 10 girls was graduated in June, of whom 5 remained to teach in the Primary School. Because of resignations and for other reasons there were many changes in the teaching staff. On the Staff at present is Miss lap whom some of us have met in America. Miss Lau, another member of the Staff, was educated in Shanghai and Hono lulu, the latter the home of her parents and her own birthplace. Miss Chang, a third member of the Staff, is a Pekingese, a graduate of the Government Higher Normal School. She is not yet a Christian, but she is much interested in Christianity. Another Miss Chang, a member of a well known Christian family in Amoy, has given music lessons in the school. Mrs. Day’s removal to Chiang-chiu is a great loss to the schools, as she was doing a very valuable work in teaching the girls to sing. The High School girls have taught in Sunday schools and in the Hospital on Sundays and during the second term they taught in two chapels at some distance from Amoy City. A new jinrikisha road has made these places easier to reach. It skirts the city for a time and then takes its way through fields where the men have to pull against a strong north wind, but in half an hour or more the first chapel is reached and two or three of the girls are left here, while the others go on to the next village. The streets are lined with shops and the streets themselves are filthy in the extreme, but

at least 50 or 60 children are gathered and hymns and Sunday School lessons are taught. On Christmas day 40 of the girls went out to these villages by boat and both chapels were full to over flowing. Next term the High School moves into its new quarters in the former Talmage College buildings, using the chapel and classrooms as sleeping quarters until the new dormitory provided by the Jubilee Fund is built. •Charlotte D w y e e Bible School.— This school has been full this year and to provide accommodation for all several more beds have had to be added. During the first term there was an enrollment of 75 women besides several children who could not be separated from their mothers. The number during the entire year was more than 110. Four who were in the school last year are now employed as Bible Women and are doing satisfactory work. Eleven have been baptized during the year. All of these were once worshippers of idols and it is a great joy to see their changed lives. One young widow of twenty-seven is an interesting character. She was married at seventeen to a young man who left her after a few months to go abroad, where he died. Strangely enough, she has been allowed by his family to go to the Women’s School. During the holidays she finds a home in a Christian family where she makes a living by sewing, as she is an excellent seamstress. She is now ready to become a Christian. Another young widow was expecting to become a Buddhist nun on account of the death of her husband, but she has been persuaded to become a Christian instead. This year again we have to thank Miss Macgregor of the English Presbyterian Mission for her help in the school one morning of each week and Miss Ovenden of the London Mission who has taught four days in each week. One of the Chinese pastors has come from Amoy City one morning in each week to take the morning prayers and to hold a Bible Class. Mrs. Koeppe has also helped much in the singing, all of which assistance has been much appre ciated by Miss K. M. Talmage who is in charge. Children’s H o m e .— During the year there have been 35 children connected with the Home. A little blind child, Precious Jade, was sent in June to the Blind School belonging to the Methodist Mission in Foochow and we have good reports of her there, where she has already exchanged her Amoy dialect for that of Foochow, which is quite different. A little girl called Heart’s-Love was returned to her foster-mother, who had given her to the Home because she herself had leprosy and had no means of supporting the child. She has now been declared free from leprosy and has a position in which she can earn a small living. Four of the Home girls have been teaching school throughout the year and one has been a nurse in the Hospital. In the spring the Home received a poor helpless child about six years old. She had been spending the nights in an old empty house and in the day time she went about the village streets, half clad,

on her hands and knees, begging food. Because of lameness she was unable to walk. Her former owner, whether her own mother or her foster-mother we do not know, determined to drown the crippled child and when carrying her to the water for this purpose she met a woman with a softer heart. “If you are meaning to drown the child, you would better give her to me,” said this woman and accordingly the child was given to her. After a time the woman died and her son-in-law cared for the child until he, too, died. Then the little one was left quite alone, still sleeping in the empty house and still creeping about by day, begging for food. A Bible Woman living on Amoy Island found the child and brought her to the Home. Her little face, which was very thin and blue, soon put on a better look, but when she was taken to the hospital to see what could be done for her lameness, it was pronounced incurable. She can walk with a crutch, but she has many a fall and still prefers to creep about the floor. During the year the Home has added seven little ones to its number of “outside children,” or those who are helped by the Home while still living with their parents or relatives. The father of these seven children died of tuberculosis, leaving the mother with the children and an old mother-in-law to support. The neigh bors and the mother-in-law urged her to sell at least the baby, a wee child. Without the burden of such a family the mother, a capable woman, could easily support herself, and so the Home has come to her rescue. The children were delighted with the gifts sent to them from Holland, Michigan, and the little lame child mentioned above said of her share, “I haven’t hands to hold them all.” The Home was founded over thirty-five years ago and many little children have been cared for in it during that time. Many now have happy homes of their own, and Miss M. E. Talmage, who is in charge of the institution, returns thanks not only to God ■for His great goodness to these children, but to all who hyve in any way helped her in her work for them. '

Medical Work Wilhelmina Hospital.*— Miss Jean Nienhuis, the Trained Nurse in charge of the Hospital, has had a 'very busy year not unmixed with trials and perplexities. Giving nursing care to 1,620 in-patients, with a limited number of helpers, untrained except for what they have learned in trying to help her, has meant in itself a great strain. Miss Murman, after being in charge for about ten years, left to take up private practice under Dr. Strick, taking with her all the nurses whom she had trained. Fortunately Miss Nienhuis was able to secure a new Assistant, Dr. Lee, a graduate of the Hackett Medical School in Canton, who is a good obstetrician and able to take on that branch of the work. In the autumn Miss Mathiesen came to Miss Nienhuis’ relief, entering into the work with a zeal and enthusiasm which have made her a great addition to the Staff.

While at Kuliang during the summer Miss Nienhuis had the privilege of meeting missionary nurses from other parts of China and comparing notes with them about the work. Many of them are working in hospitals which have recently established registered training schools for nurses. The Nursing Association of China is making rapid forward strides and Miss Nienhuis was eager to get into touch with it. Miss Mathiesen, too, is anxious to start a training school for nurses in the Amoy Hospital along definite lines. Although the goal has not yet been reached, a good start has been 'made in training both boys and girls for service in the long neglected art of caring for the sick. Miss Nienhuis says, “W e hope before another year has passed to be enrolled as a registered school.” Just now 6 girls and 4 boys are being taught the practical and theoretical sides of nursing, in a 3-year course. Each day they have one hour of class work, along lines outlined by the N. A. C. One hour a week is given to Bible study. The boys are getting a com bined course of nursing and drug room work. The girls are wear ing hospital uniforms and they look very attractive as they go about their work in the wards. , Miss Nienhuis and Miss Mathiesen aim to take in boys and girls from Christian homes who hold a grammar-school diploma and they hope to teach them by instruction and example to minister to their suffering brothers and sisters, in the name of Him who came “not to be ministered unto but to minister.” The warm thanks of the Hospital Staff are due to the West End Collegiate Church of New York City and to the ladies of the Sixth Reformed Church of Paterson, N. J., for surgical supplies and articles donated to the Hospital.

SIO-KHE Educational Work Girls’ School,— In an up-country district in China many still ask,'“W h y educate a girl?” which proves that there is still much for these up-country schools to do. The Sio-khe school has had about 90 girls enrolled during the past year and hard work has been done to get them to pay the fees which are necessary to the support of the school. Only 10 girls failed to pay during the last term, which bespeaks progress. Six of the June graduates continued their studies in the Amoy and Chiang-chiu higher schools and there are seven in the graduating class this-year. At Christmas time the school had a special service and the children dramatized the visit of the Wise Men to Bethlehem. It was surprising to learn that the Wise Men were supplied with thermos bottles for their journey and still more so to hear Herod told to look up the second chapter of Matthew if he wished to know where Christ was to be born! But the children entered into the real spirit of the day and the true meaning of Christmas was brought out. At the end of the school year the entire school was examined in Bible. Each child recited from memory the 47th Psalm and the entire first chapter of Ephesians, besides repeating Bible stories and the Catechism.

The new big motor road to Chiang-chiu runs back of the school leaving a narrow strip of land which the school is anxious to buy for a playground. Big plans are made, hut unfortunately, writes Miss Bruce, “W e are held down by lack of money, plenty of soldiers and old Chinese customs.” W o m e n ’s School.— An unmarried woman does not get much respect in China, neither does a poor widow. As our women’s schools are made up of such women, it is no wonder that a great many look askance at them. But those who know how to judge value very highly the work which is being done in these schools. They know the material which is taken in and that which is turned out. They know that the women from these schools are often the backbone of the Church. There have been only 24 women in the school the past year, but if there had been more the school could not have paid expenses, showing that a good financial report does not always mean growth. Two women finished their four years’ course this last term and one is now a Bible Woman, while the other is still too young to be put into such work. One especially promising woman from a well-to-do family has recently come into the school. Her relatives are all heathen. For years she has wished to come to church, but her family would not permit it. Her daughter, however, was allowed to go to the Girls’ School and the child secretly taught her mother. Last spring the "soldiers came and her relatives all ran to the church for protection. This finally led them to consent to her coming to the school to study. She is a capable, attractive woman, a bom leader. She, with four others, has studied this term a book of Bible stories, John’s Gospel, a catechism, Arithmetic, etc. They can recite from memory the general thought, the main teaching and the golden text of every chapter in John! The Women’s School is a training school for Christian leadership and Christian living.

Evangelistic Work The Sio-khe District has had its share of troubles with soldiers during the past year. Much district evangelistic work cannot be done under such conditions, but five trips have been made to outstations. . In one of the churches Mrs. Mark, the pastor’s wife and a former Children’s Home girl, is deeply interested in the spiritual side of the work and she has been a great help to the women and children of her district. She conducts a day-school in the chapel and single-handed teaches over thirty pupils in the different grades. Conditions in other chapels are not so gratifying and many dis couragements are met. Women who have been under church influences for years are gambling and are generally uninterested. There is need for closer supervision and assistance in helping the women to lead Christian lives for seven days in the week. This year two new Bible Women have been added, making four in all. The out-stations are keenly anxious to have the Bible

Women come and spend weeks at a time among them, in some cases offering to board them free of charge if they will only stay. Every Wednesday the Sio-khe pastor’s wife, the Bible Women and any one else who will go divide in groups and cover as much ground as they can. Charts, pictures and a foreigner can always draw a crowd; so an audience can always be depended upon. Occa sionally the fruits of the work are made .unexpectedly manifest. Just now there is a new hearer who is very much interested. She is an attentive listener, comes to church and prayer-meeting, and her heart is open to receive the Gospel. Two children’s meetings are held each week, one at the Hos pital and one in the villages. A children’s service is held also each Sunday in the Girls’ School. A step forward is the practice of having the men and the women meet together and gradually they are becoming accustomed to this innovation.

CHIANG-CHIU Educational Work Girls’ School.— The total attendance in the Girls’ School has been 187 this past year, of which number nearly two thirds were day-pupils and about one half were from non-Christian homes. The very unsettled condition of the district has made traveling unsafe and has kept girls from distant places from joining the school. The work has gone on harmoniously and faithfully and a good spirit has been shown throughout the year. The wire mosquito netting, the gift of the Woman’s Board, has kept the school almost entirely free from malaria. Improvement of the playground, which was begun in 1923 hut discontinued on account of lack of funds, was taken up again last winter and completed. Nearly $100 Mexican was obtained from Chinese friends and a basket-ball set was purchased. A slide for the smaller children and several swings were provided and all have enjoyed the results greatly. In June a class of thirteen was graduated and the exercises were attended by a large number of women, who greatly admired the beautiful embroidery and other work done by the pupils, such as drawing and watercolor sketches. Seven of the graduates are continuing their studies in the Amoy High School, two are being trained in Wilhelmina Hospital as nurses, two others are teaching, one is acting as her father’s secretary and only one is making no present perceptible use of her education. The Christian Endeavor Society of the school has received a number of active new members as well as several associate members, who all take an eager and earnest part in the meetings. During the year the school girls and teachers have contributed over $40 to the church building which is being erected and they have also con tributed liberally to the new parsonage. . At Christmas time they gave $15 as a Christmas offering. Ten dollars of this was sent to help in evangelistic work and five dollars was given to the Moral Welfare Society of Fukien Province. The attendance in the Kindergarten has been more or less irregular during the past year owing to unsettled political conditions

Woman’s Board of Foreign Missions.

and the frequent rumors and panics which accompany them. An epidemic of whooping-cough also kept a number of children away. The Kindergarten children for the year numbered thirty-five. All brought their pennies to Sunday school and on the first of January, when they were counted, it was found that the children had given $2 in pennies for evangelistic work.

Evangelistic Work

The Bible Women, three in number, have continued their im portant work during the year and both in the city and in the villages, as well as at several other church centres in the Chiang-chiu district, have brought the Gospel message into many homes. In some cases they have had regular days for visiting certain homes where they have taught the women to read the Romanized Colloquial and the hymns. The attendance of women on Sundays is very good, and nearly all come for the Sunday school session which is held before the afternoon service. The women are divided into several classes, each with a competent teacher, the new hearers and any non-Christian women who may come in being gathered into one group and told a Gospel story, after which they are taught the special hymns or verses which they are able to understand more easily. The women’s prayer-meeting, held weekly, has met at one or another missionary home as the new church has been in process of building and the change has been a pleasant one, bringing some to the meeting who before had rarely come. After the prayer-meeting the “Sisters” often go to call on some woman who has expressed an interest in the Christian message, or to see some one who is ill or in trouble, and real sympathy and practical helpfulness are often shown. The women have taken their share in evangelistic work, several of the older and more earnest “Sisters” going with the pastor and his helpers to different villages when a whole day is given to outdoor evangelistic meetings and to telling the story of the Gospel to those who invite them into their homes. The church women, very few of whom have money enough to be considered comfortably well off, have given generously towards1 building the new church and have called forth well deserved praise from the Consistory. One Bible Woman has given nearly half her year’s salary.

TONG-AN Educational Work Girls’ School.— The Girls’ School has had a very happy year in spite of the anxious days in the spring when the Chinese armies staged a battle so near the school that for five days it was within range of the firing. The very fact that the school was in such danger and was so miraculously protected increased its faith that God was taking care of His own. During the spring the enrollment was larger than for some years past, 87 names being recorded. The school was specially happy in being able to tear down the old ruins which had served as dining-room and kitchen for so

long and to erect on the foundations a neat building containing two splendid classrooms, an attractive, roomy dining hall and a con venient kitchen. All the furniture was painted and bright pictures were placed on the walls. The girls were so pleased ■with their new quarters that they took great pride in keeping them clean and neat and great gratitude was expressed to the Woman’s Board for the special appropriation which had made the transformation pos sible. ' Special attention has been given to the health of the pupils with the result that there has been very little illness. Financially the school has had a banner year, more fees having been taken in than ever before in the history of the school. The teachers have been most loyal and the spirit of the school has been splendid. Prayer-meetings for teachers and pupils have been held and there has been a marked increase in spiritual earnestness. An experiment was made this year to give the girls an added incentive to earnest endeavor and also to help them in watching their own conduct. A record was kept of deportment, diligence in study, faithfulness in work and attendance, each girl’s standing being determined in conference with teachers and matron and recorded weekly on a chart hanging in the school-room. Not only did the girls vie with each other in keeping their record free from black marks, but many ^realized the need of seeking divine help in over coming individual faults. A prize of $1 was given at the end of each term to the girls with the best record. Four girls “tied” the first term for the honor. W o m e n ’s School.— Fifty-six women have had more or less regular instruction in the Women’s School this year. The enroll ment the first term was 39 and the second term 38; so, even with new and larger dining-room and kitchen and extra bedrooms, the school was crowded. Some who had never studied before now read their Bibles well and all beginners finished at least “The True Doctrine Catechism.” Miss Zwemer, who is in charge of the school, writes that the highest class studied a book in Old Testament History, “The Three-Fold Secret of the Holy Spirit,” Acts and some Bible Geography and elementary Physiology, besides writing letters and compositions and learning to keep accounts. One of this class is to begin the work of a Bible Woman this year. Another who has moved to Rangoon will probably be a Bible Woman there. Three of the women are to be received into the Church soon. Twenty-seven of the women who were in the school this year were widows. The husbands of six others were abroad, while five others had husbands who did not support them. These last were opium-smokers and their wives suffered much before they were received into the school. The lives of most of the women have been very sad, especially that of one young widow who was sold to a heathen and whose new mother-in-law is determined that she shall not go to church. The young woman keeps up her Bible study and prayer and Miss Zwemer hopes that God may grant her prayers for the poor old mother-in law who fears untold misery in the next world if her daughter-in-law

does not worship her spirit after she dies. Miss Zwemer'concludes her report of the school with these lines: “W h y they have never known the way before, W h y hundreds stood outside Thy mercy’s door, I know not; but I ask, dear Lord, that Thou Woulds’t lead them now! W h y in the hard and thorny way they press Unloved, uncomforted, with .none to bless, In living death, I know not; but spare Thou ! And lead them on.”

Evangelistic Work

Few women can be persuaded to come to the public services until they have first learned something of the truth in their own homes, and so the first feature of the evangelistic work is to visit the homes and villages. Opportunities for this are unlimited. It ”is Miss Zwemer’s aim to visit some women each afternoon, and several Christian women join in the same work while the Bible Women devote their whole time to this work. Hundreds of homes have been visited and usually the reception is warm and the message welcome. As a result more women have attended the services and there have been many more women and children in the Sunday schools. But Miss Zwemer complains that there are still hundreds of homes in the Tong-an field which have not been reached and that many are as ignorant of the Light as their ancestors were a thousand years ago. There are two Bible Women working in the An-khoe district. A third has her home/ in the Hong-san district and works there. Two others work in stations only a few miles from Tpng-an. The Bible Woman who works in the Elizabeth Blauvelt Memorial Hos pital is exceptionally able to interest the women and when the Hospital was filled with soldiers she gave much of her time to visit ing in the homes. The women’s prayer-meetings have been regularly held and the Sunday school has grown steadily in numbers. There are now two classes for new hearers and they could not have better teachers than the Hospital Bible Woman and the teacher in the Women’s School.

Medical Work The Elizabeth Blauvelt Memorial Hospital.— Mrs. Vandeweg reports a short year of work owing to their inability to find a suitable doctor, which made it impossible to open the hospital until after November 1st. The spring months were very busy ones, sometimes as many as 246 in-patients being in the wards at one time, many of them wounded soldiers. In March the fighting was not quite so near, but all the seriously wounded soldiers were brought in to the Hospital, and the Staff was kept busy from morning to night. At that time Mrs. Vandeweg and her two little boys were living in the hospital and she found the odors and noises nearly unbearable. The doctor’s house was not finished but Mrs. Vandeweg decided to move into it, preferring its inconveniences to the bad air

and disturbed nights in the Hospital. Three days after the moving the fighting began near the Hospital and day and night the most serious cases were brought in, and even the chapel had to be turned into a general ward. The soldiers were lying on the floor, only too thankful to find rest and proper treatment. Many bullets came down around the Hospital and they were in constant danger, but no actual harm came to them. Mrs. Vandeweg says she found the 91st Psalm her constant comfort. Regular Gospel meetings were held every night in the Mandarin language and the pastors and teachers were very helpful. The missionaries helped with the dress ings and Mrs. Vandeweg wonders now how they accomplished all that they did, with the soldiers lying on the floor, each with several wounds to be dressed. The Chinese doctor did splendid work but everything would have been easier had there been an American doctor to help him. It was very difficult to get enough surgical supplies and Mrs. Vandeweg says that if it had not been for the Bergen Reformed Church of Jersey City, who sent her regular supplies, she could not have gotten through. When these were nearly ex hausted there came a new supply from the Deerpark Reformed Church of Port Jervis and she was very grateful for the help they gave. She prays that a doctor may be found soon for the hospital. Mrs. Vandeweg goes home on furlough this year and she writes: “The Lord only knows how hard it is for me to leave this place where I have known so much happiness and sorrow. I pray that the Lord will provide a foreign doctor and nurse soon to take up this work.”

LENG-NA Educational Work Girls' School.— Miss Green writes that in four of the North River Church centres there are church schools for girls and that this is an important phase of the development of the work in these places for the teaching and training of the girls who are to have such a tremendous influence upon the homes and the future genera tions of Christians. There is still the greatest difficulty in securing even moderately well prepared teachers and the work of the schools suffers accordingly. Still they are much better than no schools and there are in training a number of young women who will before long be able to do acceptable teaching work. In Leng-na is the Mission girls’ boarding-school which has been developed to a higher standard than the other schools. Indeed the Leng-na school meets not only the needs of the immediate neighbor hood, but it also has students coming from the other churches for further study than is possible at home. The school is still housed in the ancestral hall which has been its home for the past few years. The Mission has not as yet been successful in buying the land for the new school building and in the meanwhile the ancestral hall does very well. But it is hoped that the money given so long ago by Mrs. Ralph Voorhees for the new school building and the young women’s residence may be utilized before long.

In the spring term the school numbered 91 pupils, 28 of whom were boarders. Of this enrollment a large proportion were from non-Christian families and had perhaps their first conception of Christianity from the teaching they received in the school. In the fall term the first North River girl to graduate from the Amoy Girls’ High School joined the Staff and it is hoped that in time there will be many more of these higher grade teachers available for the Leng-na school. The boarding department has continued to pay for itself and the tuition fees are nearly three times as much as they were in the two previous years. These are encouraging signs because they show a growing appreciation of the work. During the spring Miss Green was made very happy by the admission to church membership of two young teachers who had had their entire education in the Leng-na Girls’ School. W o m e n ’s School.— Five pupils, one Chinese teacher, one for eigner, one matron and the school dog! Miss Green says, “There you have the new Leng-na Women’s School.” It would seem that there is room for expansion, but when you hear that four of the five women are planning to continue the next term, and that the fifth would come back if she had not received a New Tear’s gift of a little baby, you will certainly feel encouraged. So says Miss Green and I am sure we will all agree with her. The women have done remarkably well in their studies. They even look different and they have an air of poise and confidence which one does not see in the other women. They have risen a little way above the mass of ignorant women and have entered the class of those who can read and write. All these schools and all these girls and women need the prayers of all the women at home and their keen interest and support. M

The W o m e n ’s Evangelistic Board of the Arcot Assembly The Evangelistic work for women in India and the work of the Hindu Girls’ Schools is now carried on by the Women’s Evan gelistic Board of the Arcot Assembly, of which Miss Sarella Te Winkel has sent the following report: * On furlough, 1925. t Union Missionary Medical School.

Here are the “Women who publish the tidings” in India. In the forefront we see the members of the Women’s Board, about thirty strong, representatives from every part of the Mission, Indian and foreign Christian women, marching side by side in this “Army of the Lord.” ' “Unity and Progress” are the words upon the banner of these leaders. W e see them separate into five divisions and from the rear other groups of women advance and rally round the leaders. The new formation shows five companies, some larger, some smaller,:with here and there a straggler, but all with faces turned to the Celestial City. Each company carries a banner, each with its own inscription, namely, “Southern Circle,” “Central Circle,” “Eastern Circle,” “West ern Circle” and “Northern Circle.” These five companies are the Sub-Committees of the Women’s Evangelistic Board of the Arcot Assembly. , Southern Circle— Here in the South we see two Bible Women, and their corner of the field shows Hindu and Mohammedan homes into which they enter. W e “listen in” and hear the sound of the singing of Christian lyrics. They are guided and encouraged by the three members of the Southern Circle Sub-Committee. The scene shifts and we catch a glimpse of two schools for Hindu girls, one in Tindivanam and the other a few miles away in Wandiwash. Both places are busy and happy. W e see a School Prize Giving in progress, the dolls and other gifts unmistakably American. Another shift shows the Tindivanam school staging a Drama, and on the tickets of admission is inscribed, “For Flood Sufferers’ Relief.” This picture too fades away and we see still another corner of Tindivanam. It is a Dispensary and one of the Bible Women we saw before appears and spends a morning hour sowing the seed1 in the hearts of those who have come seeking relief from the ills that flesh is heir to, and telling the good tidings, “Jesus Christ maketh thee whole.” Central Circle— Next appears the Central Circle with Arni and Mrs. Farrar in the foreground. For a few moments the blank front walls move back from 119 Hindu homes and we peep into the women’s quarters. From house to house four Bible Women go, not in a group, but one by one. Thus each day twenty or more houses are visited and in each home the “Women,” from the child wives of twelve or fourteen years' of age to the toothless grey-haired grand mothers, hear with joy the “Wonderful Words of Life.” Many of the faces, responsive, questioning, doubting, hoping, believing, show much more than mere idle curiosity. W e should like to linger longer with these women but the picture fades and gives place to two Hindu Girls’ Schools, one in Ami and the other in its suburb, Kosapalayam. In each school we see about 120 little girls gathered about their teachers. Now and again a child presses forward with out-stretched hand to put a copper coin into a small box with a slit in the top. The box is marked “W. B. F. M.,

R. C. A. Jubilee Fund.” W e think of the lad with the loaves and' fishes which Jesus blest to the feeding’ of the multitude. Something rising in our throats hinders our speech as we whisper, “Sweet crumbs of bread cast upon the waters.” ' Eastern Circle— The Eastern Circle has Ranipettai as its centre. Our women of that Sub-Committee have apparently not found the past year a path of roses only. The Secretary reports: “The regular official business of the Committee has been done. Ways and means • helping our village Christians to nobler living were planned. W e feel at the close of our first year but ready to begin our task. The women have found it a bit difficult to assume all their responsibilities, but with experience we hope to grow.into larger usefulness.” Western Circle— The Western Sub-Committee picture shows a large and active group of women, representatives from the flourishing churches in Vellore, Chittoor and Katpadi and from the Christian villages connected with these centres. They mourn the loss of one of their number, Miss Annie E. Hancock, who was called to higher service early in the year. In Vellore the Christian women leaders are doing voluntary service among their illiterate Christian sisters, thus following the scriptural injunction to begin first at Jerusalem. Classes in reading, writing, domestic science and sewing are carried on. The meetings of the Sub-Committee are usually held in the Kat padi church, for this is the most .central place for all. The*members from the villages give most encouraging reports of the work going on there. All the members of the Sub-Committee join in the informal discussions concerning such subjects as the best way to interest all the women in a congregation in the activities of the church, plans for the annual conferences of women workers of this part of the field, the Minutes of the Board meetings, salary increases and the extension of the work. It is felt that these meetings are filling a real need in the life of women’s, work; for in these meetings the women become much better acquainted with one another and are more closely united in their efforts to work with their great Leader to bring in His Kingdom. New and interesting developments of the work in the Vellore Jail have been graphically set before the Sub-Committee .and have aroused much interest. The keen sorrow of the women in the jail at the death of Miss Hancock was most vividly presented. The need of these women for some encouragement toward a better life when they are discharged from the jail is keenly realized and it is hoped that Government will help them by giving each a supply of garden seeds and a pair of chickens. It is the purpose of this Sub-Com mittee to help them by giving gifts of Bibles and Testaments. Northern Circle— The film moves along and we are in the Northern Circle. In Palmaner we see pictures of Christian work among women in Hindu homes, a Hindu Girls’ School and a group of Christian women who meet every week to study the Bible and pray and sew in the interests of the coming Kingdom. Next we visit Punganur. Here we see the street full of people— Christians, Hindus and Mohammedans headed by an Indian Band. A

motor car appears; Rev. and Mrs. Henry J. Scudder alight. Q-ay" lands are hung about their necks; limes are pressed into their hands. Everywhere is friendliness. Next we see the Mission Bunga low, again a happy Social Centre after being empty and lonely for many years. Christians, Hindus and Mohammedans enter its open doors and rejoice in its spirit of “peace on earth, goodwill toward men.” W e see Mrs. Scudder start out with one of her two Punganur Bible Women for an afternoon of visiting in the Hindu, homes, numbers of them with doors wide open. In Madanapalle we see a weekly Dorcas Society meeting on the Mission Bungalow verandah, the members sitting on mats spread upon the floor. Once a quarter a social meeting, followed the next week by a business meeting, with written reports from each com mittee. A house to house visitation aims at the enrollment of every Christian woman in Madanapalle as either a regular or home member of the Society. As for the Hindu Community, we see three Bible Women going in and out, visiting nearby villages or the Mission Hospital in the morning and teaching in the homes of Madanapalle town in the afternoon. ' ,There is a clear picture of one after-dark meeting in the Jacob Chamberlain Memorial Church, a meeting for women only. In groups of six or eight or ten they came, slipping quietly through the darkness into the church building until there was a company of three or four hundred women of all classes sitting on the matted floor in the church auditorium lighted only by the dim light which came from the lantern used for showing pictures to illustrate the story of Pilgrim’s Progress. Other pictures there are showing these Bible Women and the American Missie a m m a going by motor to more distant village centres from three to fifteen miles away to join for a day at a time with other Bible Women who have headquarters in four differ ent centres. Each separate visit is an experience of thrilling interest, impossible to describe with any feeling of doing the subject justice. Dear women of our churches at home, can you see them, these “Women who publish the tidings” in India, “a great host”?

CHITTOGR Sherman Memorial Girls’ High School Miss Alice Van Doren, the Principal, reports that the year 1924 has been a red-letter year in the history of this school. Ever since the making of the first plans looking toward the formation of a High School, the urgent need for new buildings has been realized. For seven years we have had definite plans and hopes, and now at last our dreams have changed into solid reality. Thanks to the great generosity of Mrs. and Miss Conklin and their relatives in America, the Misses Condit and Miss Burling, and the aid of Government as well as Mr. Rottschaefer’s energy and skill, we formally opened our new school home on July third.

The Story of the Year— India

• t After years spent in crowded and unsuitable quarters we appre ciate, as no one else could, the joy of working in buildings that are really “models” for South India. A one-story open air school building built round a courtyard full of beautiful trees, and five cottage hostels arranged so as to combine Indian architectural designs with western ventilation and hygiene. They are also so planned as to allow each cottage “family” to carry on its own house keeping and put into practice all it learns of the theory of Domestic •Science. . The school is now in two distinct sections. The High School has 80 boarders and 14 day scholars. In the Old Mission Com pound Miss Wyckoff has had entire charge of the Training School, filled to overflowing with its record-number of 40 students, and the Model School with its 120 pupils, of whom 80 are boarders. In connection with the Training School the Gridley Girls’ School in the town has kept up classes I. to III. and has inaugurated a real Montessori Class under a specially trained teacher, which has been a great help for the observation work of the students. Both High School and Training School have been warmly commended by the Government Inspectress. Our staff has been strengthened by the addition of five new secondary teachers, of whom four are our own old girls. They bring back to us loyalty and enthusiasm and an understanding of school traditions and ideals which an outsider cannot have. Four of our girls are now students in the Women’s Christian College at Madras, three in the Training College and two in the Vellore Medi cal School. Among the many school activities special mention should be given to our Dramatics. On the opening day, when the building was thronged by all sorts and conditions of men, women and children, the girls presented tableaux of great women. Early in December, the “Midsummer Night’s Dream” was given amid the natural scenery furnished by the trees of our large courtyard. W e had a large audience, both Indian and European, and earned a good sum toward the furnishing of our new school hospital. The religious activities of the school are varied. The Y. W. C. A. has kept up its work and interest, and several girls have attended Conferences. Opportunities for service have come through work in the Primary Sunday school, through other Sunday schools held with the help of Bible Women in nearby villages, and through the teaching of English in some of the homes in Chittoor. W e pray that our School may be a centre of abundant living and loving service to our whole area.

Zenana Work

Miss Conklin gives us the report of the Zenana Work in Pil grim’s Progress style: , Now it hath so happened through the multiplicity of business that I had been much hindered and kept back from my wonted travels, but having some concerns that way of late I went down

again thitherward. And behold, I met on my way, Evangel, and it was as if we fell into discourse and thus I began. “What town is that there below that lieth on the left hand of our way?” Thus said Evangel: “It is the City of Secure, though some do call it the City of Dalliance, but others, the city of En deavor.” “But is it not the command of the King to make this place for pilgrims good?” “Ay, and there be many who are faithfully serving for the love that they have to their Prince. And their venturing is of varying nature. Hearken, even here on the edge of the town I hear the- sound of singing. Let us knock and discover.” Therefore did we knock and as is the custom did enter into the centre of the house where dwell the women. There did we behold the mother-in-law and her sons’ wives singing gladly tuneful songs, extolling their love for a new Friend and Saviour whom they have long been seeking. “Stay,” quoth the mother-in-law, “we will recite unto you precious psalms and verses, and likewise stories of Him whom in our hearts we love and serve. Our neighbors do beseech our teacher, Mrs. Faithful, to come and instruct them, but already is she visiting five and twenty homes like unto ours.” ’ As we were on our way going, behold we- heard the sounds of timbrel and flute, and by the adornment of plantain and bamboo before the house we did know that here was a house of great glad ness, like unto that in Cana of old. The folk of that house did bid us enter and make merry with them. There came forth to meet us Mrs. Friendly, who did lead us even unto the bride’s chamber. There did we behold sundry damsels of simple raiment but such happy countenance who were singing songs of their Friend and Father to the great joy of the bride and her friends. Then did the bride beseech Mrs. Friendly to lift her voice in prayer to Him who doth delight to bring joy to homes where He is loved and honored. Here, moreover, we held converse with the bride’s sister who had journeyed even from Pondicherry for this nuptial cere mony. She did relate to us of going unto the Mission Bungalow a distance of fifteen furlongs outside the city. There did she gaze upon the new buildings of the School Beautiful where these simplegarbed maidens do learn even unto their twentieth year without being betrothed. Behold the younger sister’s eyes did glow wistfully as she did hear of the large garden and flowers, and of the Mis sionary there who did play with two hands upon a large harmonium. Behold what a wonderful Mother is- there. W e love to touch her soft white hair and press her beautiful face to ours and look into her kindly, loving eyes. W e are so gladdened in our hearts when she comes to see us with her daughter. • Hark,” said Evangel, “yonder the sounds of more merry-making.” So we went both together, and were earnestly entreated and our necks hung with sweet-smelling garlands of flowers, in token of their welcome. There came to greet us from this house of mirth Mrs. Charity, who delivered to us the cause of this festal noise. Nor

could we credit our ears to hear that this merry-making was to celebrate the withdrawal from school and out-door play of the ten-year daughter of the house. Here too, when we had joined ourselves to the cheerful com pany, we beheld other simply-clad maidens from the School Beauti ful, one of whom has been instructing the daughter in the foreigner’s language. “Many others of these girls,” added Mrs. Charity, “do weekly come in sweet spirit of Christian friendliness to many other homes to bring the tidings of the free and unhampered life of their School to those shut in from such privilege.” Then did Mrs. Charity entreat us: “The remaining nine and twenty of my girl-women to whom I am imparting instruction will like to upbraid me because I bring you not to their homes. But lo, Mrs. Piety likewise doth wait in yonder doorway to greet you.” And looking up we beheld and 'saw that she was signing us to approach with quietness. W e found a wistful grandmother, though scarce was she of the age beyond thirty, eager to recite her Psalms and to tell the stories of her Friend. With shy pride did she show to us her careful stitchery which Mrs. Piety had taught her, and likewise the progress she had made in her Reader. . Beyond the river that skirteth by the town of Secure, or on the other side of the lake, every Sabbath evening wait eagerly many other wives and maidens to hear the stories and lyrics which these same teacher-friends with small companies of the Girls from the School Beautiful bring to them. By their loving persuasions have they endeared themselves to many in each centre. To see the new School Beautiful and the Foreign Friends in the bungalows, day unto day come many of the ladies of Secure, there to meet one with another, to engage in badminton and croquet, safe and remote from the gaze of their husbands and sons, and those of their friends." They are hearing of a very few brave women who have joined themselves to the Social Service League, the Red Cross Society, and the International Fellowship in freedom like unto the Europeans, and some complain and some rejoice. To the expressions of friendship all are responsive and there are but few homes that have heard of the great Friend and His works’but have sought after and got the records of His pilgrimage and are secretly yielding to His love and companionship. He Himself will draw their hearts and make strong their loyalty to Him. ’

RANIPETTAI

Social Centre Mrs. Honegger writes that to the dwellers in^ the House by the Side of the Road has come a request to record the doings of men and women as they have come and gone throughout the year. “But who are they who can tell of the heart struggles of men: victories fought and won: turmoils calmed and hushed. None but

the recording angel the record can show, but the .dwellers of the House can tell of the cheer and the inspiration which have come to them from the passers-by. “There have been the men and the women of God who have halted at the House who have breathed forth inspiration and power to those who are seeking God but know not where to find Him. “There have been the tramp of little feet and voices of little children who have opened the gospel of love to tired and ignorant parents as they tarried for a little while in our midst. “The young men with spirits high and laughter strong have made the recreation ground and verandahs resound with merry cheer. “The maidens fair with patterns strange and fantastic have created garments which were a joy to behold. “With the coming of the sick and suffering there has arisen a greater desire to understand and show the compassion known to Jesus alone. ‘When He saw the multitude He was moved with compassion on them because they fainted and were scattered abroad as sheep having no shepherd.’ “W e would mention the noble friends across the seas who through their magazines, papers and books tempt the pilgrim feet to turn aside and rest within the Reading Room. What a pleasure it is to point out the refreshing and stimulating messages to the seeking souls. “ ‘Let me live in a house by the side of the road And be a friend to man.’” '

Hindu Girls’ Schools Mrs. Honegger reports that during Mrs. Van Vranken’s fur lough she is looking after the little flower gardens, as the Schools were called in the report last year. The Master Gardener has visited His garden and taken some of the choicest little flowers to the eternal garden of heaven. One little girl who had been in our school for several years manifested a great interest in the Bible stories and Christ’s teach ing. She insisted that the children of her home should offer their evening prayers. Daily she bowed her head to return thanks for the bounty received, and as her faith grew stronger she pled with the family to cast aside the idol in the niche in the wall. Before her death she frequently related Bible stories, and these interested the older people of the family. After telling the story of Jairus’ daughter she requested that her cremation be postponed for a day, believing that perchance Jesus might also raise her from the dead. So, contrary to custom, her body was kept over the night; her faith stirred the hearts of her parents, and they are trying to understand God’s love. This is but one of the little lives warmed and made beautiful by the saving grace of Jesus Christ.

Sunday schools are maintained in the four schools, but the attendance is not so large, as many parents object to the direct religious instruction on Sunday afternoons.

Higher Elementary Girls’ School Mrs. Galen F. Scudder. reports: This* school, after twenty-nine years of calm and steady life in Chittoor, has changed places with the Girls’ High School, and has moved to Ranipettai. Since coming here, in the last week in June, the school has undergone a thorough change, particularly in being separated from the Training School to which, as a practical school, it was connected for many years. Two teachers already with the school, together with three Higher Elementary Grade teachers left behind by the Girls’ High School, two newly appointed Secondary Grade teachers, and two Higher Elementary Grade teachers who graduated this year from the Train ing School, made up the staff of this new-old school. The excellent co-operation of the teachers and the good counsel and guidance of the Manager made it possible to organize the school into good working order within a short period of time. The Inspectress of girls’ schools, who examined it in the middle of August reported as follows: “The school has just been moved from Chittoor, and so has a double inheritance and tradition. The Headmaster and some of the staff came with it and continuity has been broken as little as possible. The work showed no sign of disturbance. One of the new teachers was tested for the completion of her certificate.' She had done thorough and good' work in Arithmetic in Standard VIII., and should he a useful assistant to the Headmaster in teaching the upper classes. All the teachers whose work was seen seemed to he doing conscientious and thorough work. The school is an excellent training in method and good work, and the girls are intelligent and full of pleasure and readiness in their work.” With these helpful introductory remarks by a Government educational officer, the school begins its new history in a new place. The enrollment is larger than usual. The hostel is crowded, with 92 boarders from Chittoor school, 17 from the Girls’ High School, 18 from the Tindivanam Girls’ Boarding School, and 8 from village schools and other Missions. Including the 45 day pupils, the total strength is 180. Teachers’ meetings are held every Wednes day and subjects concerning the improvement of the school are discussed. As a result a Tamil sangam has been organized, to im prove the Tamil of the pupils, and lively meetings are held every Friday evening. The Girl Guides are taking up their work again. To keep the girls in touch with what is going on outside the school premises, steps have been taken to gather interesting news from all available newspapers; this is reported to the girls the first Wednes day of each month. The spiritual side of the school has not been forgotten. Each morning the children have a story talk, a hit of moral instruction, or an object talk by one of the teachers, besides the usual junior and senior C. E. societies, whose meetings are

conducted once a week. To develop responsibility among the girls, .self government in the house arrangements and a court for trying cases have been introduced. After the work of putting the school in full order is over, the girls are directed to make interesting easy devices for their geography and rural science and to make experiments in Nature study. The two Badminton clubsi— one for the teachers and the other for the pupils— and the school gardens laid out around the school building, give recreation every evening to the teachers and girls after the hard work of the day.

ARNI Zenana Work Mrs. Farrar reports that this work has been carried on by four Bible Women, two at Arnipalayam and two at Kosapalayam. They have visited in 119 homes and have under regular instruction 124 pupils. The chief subject taught is the “Life of Christ.” Most of the older pupils are illiterate, but they are glad to learn these gospel stories, and it is a pleasure when we visit them to hear them repeat the stories in their own way of talking, and to hear them witnessing of how they themselves have been helped in knowing about Him. Among the younger women and girls there is a great desire to learn to read and write and some of them- want to learn needle work. Therefore our Bible Women give some time to these subjects, but never is a visit made in which the Bible lesson is neglected, and we are satisfied that in many a heart the seed of the word has taken root. The number on the roll does not record the number who have heard the gospel, for one Bible Woman reports that she has had 1.036 hearers in the homes. In mo§t families there are a number of women living together, and often when the Bible Women make their visits, these women sit around and listen and are as interested in what is going on as the pupil herself. Many interesting questions are asked, and often women tell us that they believe in Jesus Christ as the true God. W e feel thankful for what has been done in these homes, for we have reason to believe it is more than can beseen.

Hindu Girls’ Schools Just as we feel that the Bible Women have done good work, so we feel that our staff of teachers in both Arni and Kosapalayam Hindu Girls’ Schools have been faithful and have done their work well. There are about 120 girls in each school, and a well qualified staff of teachers. The Government Inspectress spoke well of what was being accomplished. Bible lessons are taught daily in story and song. W e also have a good Sunday school in each of the schools.

PALMANER

Industrial Home for Women Miss Smallegan gives us the report of the Industrial Home in Pilgrim’s Progress style: After a steady downpour of rain for twenty-four hours, and after six days watching showers, I fell asleep weary of the drip, drip. As the patter of rain-drops continued I dreamed a dream. The heavy monsoon did not seem to retard the footsteps of her whom we know as Industry. I seemed to see Industry just within the portal crying: “W e have come to the gate and all looks well within.” But as I ■followed«Industry going about from place to place, I heard her saying, “This place needs much before we can sit us down content, feeling that we have ended our journey. W e cannot be busy all the day drawing water from this deep well so far away. There is much that we must do, but to do all that is necessary we shall need money.” Industry, still talking to herself, said, “W e are pilgrims here in Palmaner, we shall not soon be making our way to Mecca. W e will be of those who will help to solve the Economics of India.” So Industry set forth to enter the Woman’s Industrial School at Palmaner, but there she was not alone. In one comer lazily sat Indifference; at times she sewed but ever with wandering gaze, while round her on her mat lay strewn remnants of her former efforts. Here a piece of lace now very, very dirty— here but the beginning of a fine embroidered cloth, unfinished and uncared for. Such heed lessness Industry passed by with a look of scorn, and seating herself in her own peculiar place soon lost herself in honest toil. Ere long Playful approached and in most cunning fashion tied the saris of Industry and Faithful firmly together. Then seeing the jest passed unnoticed she soon took herself off across the room to talk to Indifference. It seemed the close of day and Industry with the burden of India upon her back was leaving the schoolroom to find relief in slumber. But ere she slept she opened the Book of Books and read, “Come unto me all ye who are weary,” and looking up she saw Courage at her side. Courage whispered, “Don’t worry; a good night’s rest will fit you for the many duties of the morrow.” And as the morrow seemed to dawn, it being Thursday, I saw Industry as one among Ignorant, Poor, and Old, who, untiring in faith and love for God, were off to the little Prayer Chapel for their weekly communion. Courage had promised no end of work for the day, so stopping on the way at the little shop, Industry and the Bible Woman spoke words of cheer to the women who came one by one to buy a quarter anna of vegetables for the day’s curry. Old Lakahma the Conductress had brought the Hindu girls to school from far and near. Industry with unfailing interest spoke to these little ones of the need of learning, but “greater than this, children, is the knowing of God’s love for you and for me.”

As the day drew near its close, Industry seemed weary, and Indifference more thoughtless, and Playful lost' her joy. Then there came a cheery note from the little Elementary School children as they marched across the green singing, “Come! Come! follow me, To the playground follow me.” The tune was familiar, being that to which we sing “Hold the Fort for I am coming.” Industry watched these Christian, Hindu, and Mohammedan children at play with great interest. She seemed in deep revery and I woke wondering if Industry with her love for God and His people will not mark the end of a happy journey.

Woman’s Work

PUNGANUR

Mrs. Henry J. Scudder writes: The ten months of our residence in Punganur have passed most happily and profitably. When it was decided in January, 1924, that we might occupy our old home, the Station we opened in 1908, it was with much joy we prepared to move to Punganur. The welcome accorded to us by Christians and townspeople alike seemed to justify this decision, and we have found through the months an increasingly kindly feeling developing in this small town. The bungalow has been thrown open several times to our Hindu and Mohammedan friends; and the Christian community, as would be expected, have rejoiced in a resident Mis sionary. • . „ 1 The women’s work, well cared for by Miss Te Winkel from Madanapalle during her residence there, has grown in several ways. The number of homes open to the Bible Women and the Missionary seem only to be limited by time and money to develop this work. Everywhere is friendliness-— and in many cases a real desire to learn more of this new religion. A few of the Hindu women of the better class have been interested in our approaching Jubilee preparations, and have offered to contribute to a mite box! To these women anything I can tell them of those “women in America working for them” is of keenest interest. One of our Bible Women has two Mohammedan homes which she visits regularly, and occasionally we call in a friendly way on some of the Mohammedan women who live close to the very gates 'of our bungalow! These social calls may, we hope, be the means of arousing interest in our message. They certainly have promoted neighborly feeling, and I have had more than one return visit. But we are.doing far too little for the Moslem people of our vicinity. I am sure if we had the money we could re-open the Mohammedan Girls’ School, which was closed for lack of funds! Our Hindu Girls’ School has lost its faithful Headmistress, who for 45 years served that one school. Daughters and granddaughters of her first pupils studied under her. She was ill for some months and died the end of June. She was literally “faithful unto death” in her beloved work. A Brahman widow, she owed her education and freedom to a father advanced far beyond his times 45 years ago! Her interest in her school stood first in her life, and I am told by old residents of Punganur that she endured much, and gave

up much, to teach in a Christian school. Some of us who knew her well feel that she knew the truth— whether it had “made her free,” who are we to judge? Mrs. Parvatamma’s memory will he honored for many a year in the school she lovedand served so well. A Christian Headmaster has taken her place and the rest of the staff remains the same. One higher class has been opened and the number on the roll has increased about 20 in the year. The Sunday school is well attended and very encouraging. At four o’clock on Sunday afternoon all that section of the town may hear “Jesus loves me,” “Nothing but the blood of Jesus,” “What a friendwe have in Jesus,” sung with a will by 55 or 60 little Hindu girls!I often wonder how many ears are listening and hearts are wondering! The work in nearby villages has been growing quietly, but we feel it growing. In Mailpatla and Choudapalle, in Filer and Obulampalle, we see signs of quiet ingathering. The people who hear and accept the Gospel are telling others. What better way for it to grow! In the Punganur congregation, there has been a very happy spirit this year. The women gather each week for prayer and Bible study and their thoughts and prayers have many times helped their missionary. The subject of the W. B. F. M. Jubilee is close to these women’s hearts; and all are using our Telugu prayer leaflets; and never a Saturday meeting passes but the topic for that day is spoken of. There has been a good deal of touring, both in the Christian villages and in unevangelized regions. Though this missionary possesses but a faltering tongue, somehow we get the message to the hearts that are waiting for it. The results are not always seen, but we believe that God’s word is never lost. In many places where I had not been for 12 or 15 years, a warm recognition has awaited me; and I can truly say I have never been rebuffed once, in all the places I have visited. Surely this friendliness must be the precursor of a closer tie that will one day bind our hearts as Christians. I am frequently asked into high caste homes (to outer rooms to he sure) 'for a friendly call. And, what is a remarkable sign of the new day we are living in, my husband is asked to accompany me. Barriers are being leveled, and we foreigners must be careful lest we allow others to rise which may keep the thoughtful Indian from a real knowledge of the Christ. The work in the Punganur Zemindari is waiting and as far as our time and strength will go, we are trying to carry our message of love to all within its borders. . MADANAPALLE Miss Coburn has sent a report of the Girls’ School entitled— T H E S C H O O L M O N T H S ’. S O L I L O Q U I E S . January— It was very lonely, for all but the orphan girls and one teacher were still away, for the holidays. I kept looking forward to the time when all of the eighty-five would be back, for then the rooms would he filled with laughter and chatter, and we should hear wonderful tales of the holiday time, how sweet the little

brothers and sisters are, and how the girls have tried to help while at home. School at last re-opened and the teachers and girls were soon hard at work with the regular routine of the school life. February— The children have always liked me because I am short and they need not go to school so many days. Not so with the teachers, for they think of the hot days that come, when it is so hard to work. So each day there was of me they plodded along improving the time. “Line upon line,” and sometimes I wished when I saw they were discouraged that I could have given them a glimpse into the inner thoughts and lives of the girls, for one had won a victory here and another there, because of some timely word of the teacher. • March— School people have always dreaded my appearance for I have brought them trials of all sorts. The hot winds do not en courage the children to study but to play. The accounts for the Government must be sent before the end of my days, and there has to be endless figuring and filling in of great large sheets. How many of this and that? H o w much spent for new books? Nothing! For there were no funds for that or any other improvements this year. I just must help them to figure out a way to get,some books before next year. April— I bring with me vacation days; so the children have always loved me here in India. They have to take their examinations and I felt sorry for the girls who didn’t pass. There were ten of them this year. W h y could they not have tried a little harder? The thing that made me happy and yet sad was the fact- that some were not coming back because they had finished the school studies here and were going on to High School or for the Nursing Course or Teachers’ Training. May— The halls were so quiet, for only thirteen orphan girls lived in the school building during the summer. They were as happy as could be and did just as they willed the whole day through. But I wondered what made me feel so queer! -It was the small family, I know. I wanted the large one for once, but June brought them back. June— Yes, here we are busy and happy as bees. No, we still have to have two teachers. Where to find them is the question! Govern ment pays so much better salaries that it is hard for Mission schools to compete. Even our own girls are enticed by the prospect of a better living. Do you blame them? July— The necessary teachers have come from a sister Mission. They have had no experience and do not understand our ways, but just as we are giving them a new experience we are learning from them. Their Telugu is pure and not mixed with an abundance of Tamil as ours is. This will be a great asset to our girls. August— Every day was about the same. A little here and a little there. February was so hopeful, but I really cannot see that we have accomplished so very much. Sometimes it seems that the forces are against us. June did^not want to admit that she missed

the Hindu girls who were spirited away by various winds. July still hoped that all the girls would come drifting hack, but only a few have come. Yet we cannot be sad, for it does mean just as the poet said in his poem on “India,” that the Word is leaping the barriers and the Light is sweeping the land. The non-Christians are fearing that their strongholds will be swept away by the power of the Light. September— During my cool days is the time for hard work! And fortunate that is, for I heard whispers of inspection very early in my month. Every one was as busy as could be getting the hand work and maps, etc., ready for the Inspectress. And then from across the seas came the news that the dear Women of our Board wanted things for their Jubilee Exhibit— the Board which has done so much for us— what could we do to bring to them our gratitude? W e should make model houses to send to the Board. W e made two different kinds of villages and a cardboard model of the school. These should tell our friends in America how their gifts have helped us. October— Notice has come that the Inspectress will be here on the seventeenth. H o w excited and anxious every one is. Two of the teachers want to complete their certificates, and that means they must teach a model lesson for the Inspectress. The Missie too is excited, for she knows that the Government grant depends on the report of the Inspectress. Three whole days of inspection, but at last it was over, and it really was fun, for the Inspectress was very kind and thought that the work was excellent in many respects. She also gave us many helpful suggestions and so everybody was happy. November— M y coming brought many good things. The rain's filled the courtyard well, so that the girls no longer have to carry the water from a distance. The doctor began her examination of all the girls, and throat and eye troubles are being corrected. For this we are thankful, for perhaps we can attain a higher standard of scholarship. The new lady from America arrived and we are grate ful for our Miss Geegh. I also brought Armistice Day with me. There were great preparations for raising money for the maimed soldiers of the Great War. They asked us to sell the things we had made in our sewing classes and give the profits to the Fund. W e sold enough to pay all expenses with a gain of fourteen rupees. Our school was glad we could help in this patriotic fete. December— Christmas! Christmas! For weeks the children have been asking “H o w long before Christmas?” Now it is actually here and the Christmas gifts from the Sewing Guild Box are ready and just aching to go to the children. What a wonderful thing to have Christmas come at the end of a year. The spirit of love and peace comes to make all the little trials of the whole year seem small. W e are thankful for the share we have been permitted to have in dis pelling the darkness from close-barred doors. A n n e B. L i t t e l l , Foreign Corresponding Secretary for India.

Vassar College, Poughkeepsie, N. Y. The past year in Japan, though free from such a terrible disaster as that of 1923, has brought to our missionaries many perplexities and discouragements. Greatest of these was the action of our govern ment in excluding the Japanese. Whatever may be said in its justifi cation, the manner in which it was done revealed a spirit far from Christian and discredited Christianity in the land to which we offer it. The presentation of a gospel of peace and goodwill becomes in- " creasingly difficult through such a denial of it by our Congress. The increased cost of living in Japan, which now is even higher than in America, and the heavy duties upon most important articles, bear hard upon the meagre purses of our missionaries and their native assistants. Also, the lack of suitable residences for foreigners at our various stations grows greater each year and hinders the work as well as threatens the health of the workers. Nevertheless, as the reports show, much good work has been done, progress has been made, and there is a fine spirit of confidence, hope and consecration. * On furlough, 1925. t In America.

YOKOHAMA Educational Work Ferris Seminary— The temporary buildings were far enough to wards completion to make it possible to open the school in January. They are hardly more than barracks; hut they now provide room for eleven classes with three practice rooms, a music room, a science room and store room, an exercise shed which is used also as an assembly room and chapel and the necessary business offices. These enable the regular work of the school to he carried on with the ex ception of Domestic Science, for which no provision has been made. Equipment of all sorts is still greatly needed, particularly scientific apparatus, maps and charts, library hooks and athletic apparatus. Folding chairs for use when meetings are held in the exercise shed are urgently desired. Out of the 632 pupils enrolled at the time of the earthquake, 381 returned when the school opened, and the number now has risen to 458, listed as follows: Regular Course, 432; Special Course, 18; Post Graduates, 8. In March, 31 were graduated from the Regular Course and 14 from the Special Course. It is the policy of the school not to admit students, except graduates of Ferris taking a post-graduate course (there were 8 this year) so long as the total enrolment is above 450. Also, next year only 50 will be admitted to the First Year Class. Dr. Oltmans was Acting Principal until March. Then Rev. L. J. Shafer took his place and in the summer was elected Principal. Miss Noordhoff and Miss Eringa were in charge of the English; but in September Miss Teets took the place of Miss Eringa, who went to Saga, and Miss Buss and Miss C. J. Oltmans were added to the staff, the former for music, the latter for English. Several changes have been made in the Japanese section of the staff, the most important being the resignation of Mr. Iwasa, who for many years has been Head Teacher. In appreciation of his services his salary was con tinued to the end of the year, and he was granted a retiring allowance of Yen 5,000. His place has not yet been filled, though the Head Teacher of the Utsunomiya Middle School has been engaged as teacher of mathematics for the teaching work formerly done by Mr. Iwasa. At present there are on the staff six Japanese teachers with government licenses. ' In general, it may be said that the school was badly disorganized after the earthquake, but now at the end of the year it is in fair running order, with all the regular work being carried on except that in Domestic Science. “Considerable time has been spent in study ing the problem of the reconstruction of the school. Everywhere in the investigations made, graduates and friends of the school have been found who have made the work easy. W e are looking forward to an early decision on the part of the Board to rebuild, if not in the ideal way, at least in a way that will make satisfactory work possible.” The full and very interesting report of the religious work of the school is as follows: It seems appropriate to begin the story of the

year’s work with the Christmas service of, the previous year, the first service held in the “barrack” school. Dr. Oltmans spoke feelingly at that time of the relation between our Saviour’s birth in the home of a carpenter of Nazareth many years ago, and the celebration of that event in this building, little better than a stable and fully as cold, with carpenters standing about waiting impatiently for the meeting to close so they could continue putting in windows, ceiling and doors, that our “barrack” building might be complete by the time the school was to open in the new year. This year by a finished program of carols, recitations and the like in a gymnasium-chapel, still “barracks,” we celebrated the same event with joy and thanksgiving. The year has been different from other years, but the purpose of the work has been the same. The same spirit has animated the, endeavors of the Y. W. C. A., and their aim to bring their class mates to Christ has borne fruit in a number of baptisms. Besides the regular meetings of groups of students, helpful addresses have been given from time to time by speakers from among the earnest Christian workers in Japan. The Y. W. C. A. cabinet has enter tained the cabinets of four sister schools at a conference. Twelve girls attended the summer conference at a mountain resort, gaining much help for themselves, and bringing back to the others inspiration and new courage. ' All the activities of the Association are financed by the members themselves, and besides this they have aided in the equipment of the school by furnishing beds and bedding for the sick-room, and toilet arrangements for the dressing-room of the pupils. They financed the work of clearing up part of the ground, removing the burned shrubs and stumps, laying out beds of flowers, and making our part of the desolated city to blossom as the rose. At Christmas time they made more than sixty scrapbooks, and personally distributed them to the sick in the city hospitals. The outside Sunday school has grown during the year from an average of about sixty pupils to a hundred almost, and the number of volunteer teachers from among the students of our school has in creased from five to twelve. The pupils, who are little street children, brought of their spending money, and were able to give $7.50 to the poor and to leper work. The School Sunday school has been con ducted every Sunday morning by Miss Hayashi with the aid of others, and has been attended by over fifty students. In a School that requires so much regular classwork in English as one of this kind does, it invariably happens that missionaries ,and others have periods of discouragement, when they wonder whether their efforts would not go farther in bringing the'Kingdom of Heavento this earth in some other kind of work than teaching. However, it is a great comfort to remember that aside from all personal work (than which there is no more valued work), aside from chapel ex periences five times a week, aside from all moral and spiritual lessons imparted by every Christian teacher infthe regular classes, there are forty hours of direct Bible teaching being given each week. W e might add that the work of the School is being carried on in prayer.

Earnest members of the Faculty meet each Monday morning in a prayer meeting, and at the same hour a student prayer meeting is also held. W e believe that these meetings have helped us at every point in the work of the School. The results we must leave with Him whose word cannot fail, praying that He may bless the efforts made. SHIMONOSEKI Educational Work Sturges Seminary— In 1923 the great outstanding feature was the physical convulsion and resultant destruction of Japan’s two great cities— Tokyo and Yokohama. This calamity and the conse quent need of the people, touched the generous heart of America, and gifts poured into Japan in lavish measure. Back of this, as the Japanese felt, and we know to he true, was the real heart of the American people. ' After the necessary adjustment had taken place all over the country, life again moved along smoothly. The April entering class at Sturges was the largest in the history of the school, eighty being admitted in competitive examination. W e felt that the place of this institution was more assured than ever. Then rumors began to come of the Immigration Bill, called here the Exclusion Act, and a second convulsion shook this people, when they realized that, from their viewpoint, they had been mistaken in the friendship of America. The feeling, which ran high, touched even our little school and community, but, aside from the deep hurt, ended in a pleasant surprise. Two of the elders of the church with which this school is affiliated, called and assured us that no matter what happened be tween the two nations, or what attitude might be taken by the church leaders, we would please remember that our Christian fellowship would be in no wise altered. With us, as Christians, politics would make no change. One of the gentlemen went so far as to say that, whereas Shimonoseki was usually noted for its hot-headedness and easily roused passions, there had, to his surprise, not been any demonstration over this regrettable act. He attributed it, in part, to the influence and position of Baiko (Sturges Seminary). For this we are deeply grateful. ' Whether due to this political question or to the financial stringency of the country, which is causing retrenchment on the part of the government and the retirement of men in public office, thus causing families to move, we have lost more than thirty pupils during the year, and our total enrollment is now only 304. W e are looking forward with some anxiety to the entering class in April. Of the twenty-seven who were graduated from the regular course in March, twelve continued their studies in higher schools. Two of these are in the Women’s Christian College in Tokyo. The great majority of this class were baptized Christians before leaving, while naturally there were none in the entering class, although several came from Christian families. This loss brought the number of Christians in the school at the close of the year down to ninetysix. However, the thirty-five baptisms during the year are a truer

indication of the real spiritual condition of the school. Two of these were young teachers who had been, with us only a short time. All but one of our teachers are baptized Christians. There haye undoubtedly been students baptized in other churches in neighboring cities who have not reported. W e consider our institution fortunate in having a Japanese prin足 cipal who recognizes the great evangelistic purpose of the school. Speakers like Colonel Yamamuro, Mr. Kugimiya, and others have had a strong influence on the students. During the week of prayer Kev. Mr. Kugimiya spent five days with us, and had many helpful conferences with the girls aside from the public addresses. The Y. W. C. A., with a membership of one hundred and twenty-five, has been more active than usual this year, and has been fortunate in having leaders who took their position seriously. The membership was divided into groups, with the hope that the smaller units might more easily be guided into active work. At Christmas time scrapbooks were made for the children in the hospitals, and the poor of the city were given a bit of Christmas cheer. The yearly offering from the dormitory Sunday school, and that received at the Christmas program, also went toward helping the orphans at a Christian orphanage and the poor of the city. One rejoices to see the eagerness with which these girls try to follow out the prin足 ciples of Jesus in caring for the little children. Many of these same girls are being trained for active Sunday school work in the little neighborhood Sunday school held at Baiko. The life of the two dormitories has been unusually pleasant. The harmony between teachers and students and among the students themselves is cause for great rejoicing. W e attribute much of this to the helpful and steadying influence of the girls in our post-graduate course. The long-desired chapel is being realized, and excavations are being made. W e are looking forward eagerly to its completion, and to the wider sphere of usefulness which this building will open up for the school. May it truly redound to the glory of God and to directing the thought of this community toward true righteousness both in private and civic life. As Shimonoseki lacks buildings where large gatherings can be held under .Christian auspices, there is a great opportunity for the use of our chapel in the moulding of com足 munity ideals. Though we have these many encouragements, we have not yet reached the standard of service to the community that we long to attain, but we hope and believe that God may grant us the vision to use the opportunities as they come.

KAGOSHIMA Evangelistic Work Miss Evelyn Oltmans writes: The year has brought changes in both our personnel and our work. At the Mission meeting in July my sister was transferred to Ferris Seminary, and in September Miss Walvoord came to help in the work. Also, the Bible Woman

who had been with me for a year left to1be married, and in her place I received Otsuka san, daughter of a Christian blind man in a mountain village of Kyushu, the keeper of a bath-house known in the vicinity as “the.Jesus bath-house.” The daughter, after her high school education in the local school, took a three years’ course in the Bible training school at Yokohama, and came to us fully equipped to do evangelistic work and full of enthusiasm and earnest devotion. It is indeed a joy to.have her working with us; the only drawback is that she cannot be with us long for she is engaged to be married to a graduate of Meiji Gakuin and of Union Seminary, New York, who is now taking a post-graduate year at Harvard. The work during the year has had its ups and downs. The Bible lesson talks that we had with the thirty and more children at the deaf and dumb school had to be given up in the autumn. These talks were written on the blackboard by the Bible Women, and illustrated with a large picture-roll; also, lesson papers were distributed. When the New Year opens we hope to go there again. Another discouragement was at the large spinning factory where we have held meetings with the girls in their dormitory. The only Christian, a woman of thirty and rather a leader, misbehaved and was sent away. The matron and girls treated this as a blot upon Christianity, and we were asked to discontinue our meeting until the matter had “blown over.” W e hope that those in authority will soon realize the unfairness of their opinion, and will let us resume the work which the girls so much need. Meanwhile, we are strongly impressed with the importance of Christian example. The Sunday school at our house and the weekday Bible story hours have been regularly attended through the year, and were most flourishing just before Christmas. W e combined the schools in two Christmas celebrations on two evenings. There were over a hundred present each evening, and a number of older relatives and friends. The rooms were rather crowded, but the excited children kept remarkably still and went finely through their songs, recitations and dialogues. Each child went home happy with a gay Christmas card and a bag of candy. Distribution of Christian literature among the hundreds of sick folk at the government hospital has been kept up with regularity. Also, throughout the year we have held a service of song and Bible lesson on Saturday afternoon at the tuberculosis hospital. The nurses and the few patients who can get about attend these, and all the patients, about thirty, usually receive the literature we bring. Last spring a woman in the thirties, a patient, became interested in Christianity through this literature, and confessed Christ shortly before she died. Now a patient, a young man, has asked for bap tism, and will be received into the church after some further instruc tion, and there are severalvothers who are much interested, and for whom we are praying that they may find Christ. Some Bible classes in English have been carried on for young men; though we see no spiritual results as yet, we trust that the seed has fallen into ground prepared by the Holy Spirit. '

There is a little village on the seacoast, some thirty miles away, where we have a preaching place in charge of an evangelist. He has asked us to come over once or twice a month and hold a meeting for the young women who are Christians or enquirers. Miss Wal voord had agreed to do so, but suddenly we had word from the evangelist that the meeting had best be postponed as the village was having an epidemic of typhoid. She hopes to go there after the New Year. In Kagoshima, too, typhoid has been prevalent, and a wholesale innoculation has been going on, the poor receiving it without charge. Two days before Christmas one of our Christians, an elder in the church, died of the disease. Though his wife is a Christian, the sons are Shintoists, and when our minister went to arrange about the funeral, they told him politely but positively that their father would be buried with Shinto rites. Remonstrance availed nothing, and this dear old man was given a Shinto burial with droning priests and heathen symbols. There is much for which to rejoice and be thankful in the past year’s work, and likewise much to be desired. With gratitude to God for the blessing of the past, and with resolves of greater activity and a prayer for new outpourings of benediction upon us and our work, we face the new year. '

NAGASAKI Evangelistic Work Miss Couch writes: Notwithstanding many indications to the contrary, we closed the year in the same house in which we have lived the two previous years. Our family, which on New Year’s Day was only Miss Tomegawa and myself, had three additions in the spring: a cook for the kitchen; Miss Otsuka, a Baiko graduate, for Sunday school work; and an orphan girl who attends the Methodist Girls’ School. The first two have made it possible for me to do less of some kinds of work and more of other kinds. The coming of Miss Otsuka enabled us' to open a little Sunday school in the home, making three children’s meetings each week. This new school had very small beginnings; but in September we were asked to take over a little school which had been held in the home of one of our church members, and since then our weekly average has been twenty-three. This is the only one of our schools that we can divide into three classes because here we have three rooms and three teachers. W e had a separate Christmas entertainment for each of our schools, that for the home school and one other being held here. W e made a special effort to get mothers to attend, especially mothers of the children who live near us, but it was not successful. No doubt preparations for the New Year kept them too busy for anything so unusual as attending a Christmas celebration. A great many non-Christian Japanese are aware that there is such a day as Christmas, but probably few know its significance. So, with a special gpft I had received, we did a bit of newspaper advertising

on Christmas morning, putting in two local papers a short article on the meaning of the day. The “Exclusion Clause” was the cause, though perhaps not the only cause, of the closing of one of Miss Tomegawa’s Bible classes. She still has five a week besides two on Sunday. This year she has had an hour of knitting before the home Bible class, and it has helped to attract. The attendance has been very good. In October our monthly paper, the “Ochibo,” attained the age of ten years; and it has reached a circulation of slightly more than 1,200 copies which is a thousand more than the first issue. Although our expenses this year have been greater than before, they have all been met by gifts and subscriptions, and we close the year with the largest balance in our history, yen 215.36. W e are very thankful to have been allowed to keep up this bit of seed-sowing for a decade. It also helps us'to keep in touch with many who have moved to distant places whom we still wish to help. In July we handed over to the treasurer of the Nagasaki Church Building Com mittee one thousand yen that had been contributed through the “Ochibo” by its readers. The new church has not yet been begun, but the plans are being completed. Customs, prejudice and indifference to spiritual matters are chains that bind many in this city as well as in other parts of this land. H o w much has been done this year towards loosing these chains we cannot measure; we only know that they surely will be loosed, “not by might nor by power, but by M y Spirit, saith the Lord of Hosts.” And, trusting to be filled and guided by His Spirit, we confidently enter the New Year.

SAGA Evangelistic Work Miss Hospers.has continued her care of the work at Saga throughout the year, but Miss Eringa, who went there from Ferris in September, was called back to Ferris when the year closed. Miss Hospers gives the following interesting account of her labors as they are distributed through the week: The work has suffered through the lack of a trained Bible Woman and of funds. Just now we have a Sunday school helper, Miss Umezaki, a daughter of our pastor. She is not strong in body but is willing and helpful in spirit. On Monday afternoons three girls who are librarians in the city library come for Bible and hymns and English. They have been coming so faithfully that we hope and pray they may find Christ their Saviour. On Tuesdays Miss Eringa went twice a month to Kitagata with Miss Tanoka, her language teacher. She had three big classes in succession, amounting always to about two hundred children, but hundreds more pass by or stand outside the room because the princi pal discourages them from coming. It makes a hard, tiring after noon’s work. After the regular Sunday school some older girls come for a Bible lesson and singing. Here on Tuesday afternoon I have a Bible lesson ■with a friend who works in her brother’s hardware

store. Towards evening I go to a rich lady, who is a young widow, and help her little daughter and nephew with beginner’s lessons in music. I have not yet succeeded in getting the children to come to Sunday school. When I ask the little girl to come, she says, “But I do go every Sunday morning.” It is to a Buddhist Sunday school! On Wednesday morning I visit another young widow. Through the pastor’s instruction she has found the Way, hut she cannot he baptized yet because of peculiar objections of her relatives, which are really justifiable. In the afternoon we have our only flourishing class of school girls. The school girls seem to be getting busier and busier, and it seems as if the affairs of the Kingdom must be crowded out. Miss Eringa took charge of the girls from the Government Girls’ School, offering English after the Bible lesson as a special inducement. W e have just received a request to open a Sunday school at Okawa< across the river, but at present we cannot do it. On Friday we go to our little Sunday school at the outskirts of Saga. It is a noisy school with mostly boys in attendance. It always leaves one limp. The Saturday Sunday school is a quiet school with mostly girls. The children are dear and good and mischievous. Last year we in orthodox fashion took up collections in two schools, and they amounted to eleven yen— four more than the previous year. W e sent the contributions to the Sendai orphange. Our efforts are small and feeble but with trust and faith and prayer the Kingdom of God must come, even in Saga.

TOKYO Evangelistic Work

Miss Lansing returned from her furlough, expecting to take up again the work in Fukuoka which, during her absence, her Bible woman, Miss Uchida, had carried on alone as best she could. But on reaching Tokyo, a former pupil and most loyal friend, Mr. Obara, urged her to remain and work with him. He was establishing a school for young men, and he was desirous to have her assistance in giving it a strong Christian character. This new field of work seemed to her more promising and important than that at Fukuoka; and with the consent of the Mission she has entered upon it with Miss Uchida again as her assistant. Her present address is 32 Kita Yamabushi Cho, Ushigome Ku, Tokyo. When the year closed there had been hardly time enough for her to do more than get fairly settled; so she has sent in no report. In private letters she speaks most hopefully of the possibilities before her, and of some work already begun. She has always shown special ability in interesting young men and leading them to Christ; .and we have no doubt that her labors in this new field will prove most fruitful. ‘ E lise W. H

Now that the “Year of Jubilee” is over, there is great rejoicing among the Arabian missionaries because the Woman’s Board has cabled that they can count on $30,000 for the Girls’ School in Basrah. Of this amount about $25,500 has come directly from Jubilee Funds, and “Arabia” is very grateful to the women of the Reformed Church in America who have contributed so generously towards this fund. Another cause for rejoicing is in the provision for the much needed Hospital for women in Bahrein. The Sheikh of Bahrein has given the land, Synod’s Board of Foreign Missions has sent out the money for a fence around the property and has promised $2,500 towards the Hospital out of its legacy fund, and the Woman’s Board of Foreign Missions has agreed to give the legacy of Maria L. Fenby for $6,500 and that of Ida C. Poillon for $1,000, thus making up the $10,000 asked for from America, in addition to what will be raised on the field!* * On furlough, 1925. t In India.

MASKAT

Evangelistic— Miss Lutton and Mrs. Van Peursem. Medical— Dr. Hosmon. Miss Lutton writes: During my last vacation in India I was much im pressed by reading a worker’s report and as I read it, I said to my self: “This portion is so good I must write it down and embody it in my report also, and so pass on the quotation to others who may never have seen it before”:— “Warp and woof and tangle— - Weavers of webs are we; Living and dying— and mightier dead, For the shuttle once sped, is sped— is sped; Weavers of webs are we.” In our work we are not unlike a body of weavers who have to follow out the pattern known fully to the artist, but the weavers have to be satisfied with matching the different colored threads on the wrong side of the woof. W e cannot see either the end or the fruit of our labors, but some day our Great Master who has'the pattern traced from beginning to end will reveal what has been woven out of work which may have seemed to us barren and futile, and then we shall see how we have helped to provide a masterpiece to adorn the palace of the King! . ,

“And that we weave we know not— Weavers of,webs are we. The threads we see, but the pattern is known To the Master-weaver alone, alone. Weavers of webs are we.”

Visiting has been kept up as far as possible, but the work cannot be valued or tabulated by the number of visits or by the number of women seen. The quotation of “The Warp and Woof” here again applies and comforts the worker. W e have much to discourage us, especially when .one is not engaged in definite institutional work. But there are encouragements also. The Sunday school kept up well in numbers for a good part of the year, and we still have an average attendance of about forty. The attention and willingness of the scholars to learn hymns and texts are very encouraging to the teacher. They not only sing in Sunday school but also sing when they return to their homes. The Church service has been regularly kept up, although the colporteur was often unable to be present on account of fever, and he left on his vacation long before it was time for him to do so. Marash faithfully and earnestly and with great humility conducted each Sunday service and also the daily morning prayer meeting. He was fearless before the Moslems but in his tactful and winning manner did not openly provoke the listeners. ’He was greeted with salaams at the conclusion of the services. It has been hard for him and his wife to be left alone all the summer, but they have been

kept faithful and have witnessed for Christ when the missionaries were not present. And it has proved, in their ease at least, that it has been safe and possible to live and testify for Christ among their own people and Moslems without suffering harm. The colporteur did faithful work in the Bible Shop when he was well, but he is the only Armenian here and misses his clan people and does not like Maskat but longs for Iraq. The “melons and cucumbers” are still a powerful magnet, and it is counted a great deprivation not to have them in abundance. I sometimes fear he regards Maskat somewhat in .the light of the Turkish imprisonment he endured in the war. I desire to render thanks to God for good health throughout the year and for the many kind intercessors and givers whom He has raised up to enable me to work for Him in Arabia. I pray that in what we have done “we have helped to provide a masterpiece to adorn the palace of the King.” Dr. Hosmon writes: The women’s medical work in Maskat began the year in a flourishing way and patients came from all the nearby towns, but some gave up because of the expense and difficulty of coming from Mattra by sea. Throughout the year the Baloochis have outnumbered the Arabs. They have also taken much more interest in their treatments and are much more willing to pay for them. Among my in-patients this year, I have met with constant re sistance in the Bible lessons, and it was almost like talking to a brick wall with some of them. The Gospel has been daily given to the out-patients and they have learned to give good, attention. I was delighted with the opportunities I have had in doing village work. I again visited Sib this year but it was too near Ramathan to accomplish all I had planned. There wTere quite a number from Oman in the clinics there. M y Bible class with my nurses has been kept up with much inter est throughout the year, and every night I read in the Gospels with the Moslem servants of the dispensary and my home. The little Arab boy of Somail- returned last year and I kept him daily reading both the Old Testament characters and in the life of Christ. He memorized many new verses of Scripture. But I am sorry to'say that his mother was just as diligent on her part to wipe out all influence of Christianity from his life. However, it is interesting to note that after many months of absence in Oman, he has again re turned, and although he has forgotten quite a bit of his Westminster Catechism, he still remembers his Scripture verses very well. So I am praying daily that the Holy Spirit will brood over those Scrip tures in his heart so that a good harvest will come from all the efforts that have been spent on him. I want to express my thanks to the agent of the Hills Bros, in Mattra for his gift of piping to the dispensary, though I am sorry I have not had much benefit from this because of there being no rains to fill the well. I greatly appreciate the kindness of all those in the homeland who have been helping me so generously in their Sew

ing Guild Work, especially those in the Newark and Albany Classes! Their gift of lovely, durable, white enamel ware is a delight in our work. I also thank the Bible Lands Mission Aid Society for their gift for the repair of the dispensary. There are others who have helped with their gifts and I thank them also. “More than all J. thank all those who have been faithfully praying for the evangeliza tion of Maskat.”

JBASRAH Educational— Miss Charlotte B. Kellien and Miss Rachel Jackson. Evangelistic— Mrs. Van Ess, Miss Ruth Jackson and Mrs. Bilkert. Since all the Jubilee Fund apportioned to Arabia goes toward the building for the Basrah Girls’ School, it seems fitting to give here the whole of Miss Kellien’s report.

Miss Kellien writes: Since our last report was written, two Moslem girls completed the eighth year of work and were graduated from our Basrah school. To missionaries in more advanced Moslem countries, this fact may carry no significance, but to us it brings deep satisfaction and thankfulness, and is an augury for larger results in the future. To the girls themselves, their graduation was the culmination of long cherished hopes, and to the other Moslem pupils, it has proved an incentive to harder work, while in their families the sentiment is growing that the school life of girls should be prolonged. Some of the mothers have the idea that the diploma should be given when a certain number of years have passed, quite regardless of scholarship, and we are constantly asked for special dispensations “for friendship’s sake”; but they are gradually learning that there is no royal road to learning, and we trust that the time will soon come when their ambitions for their daughters will not be bounded by an eighth grade certificate. Both the girls mentioned above remained with us as teachers, and while it may not be desirable in every respect to employ Moslem teachers, we have thus been able to continue our contact with them, and as far as we can see they do not try to use their influence to counteract our work. In fact, when I arrived in Basrah the other day, I found one of these girls, in the absence of a Christian teacher, giving a Bible lesson, without any adaptations of her own. It was interesting to see the impression made on one of them by the wedding of a Christian teacher, which she attended. The wedding was held at night on a spacious roof, with men and women present, and while this guest had to sit in the background, she still heard enough of the ceremony to cause her to say, “Would that the men of Islam had to make promises like those!” The phrase “till death us do part” had a particular appeal for her, as her own father years ago simply went off to Constantinople, where he has another family, leaving her and her mother to the tender mercies of the world. All the girls who think at all are in revolt against the social system of Islam, but they maintain that local conditions only are to blame, and do not see, or perhaps will not see, that an inferior position for

women is part of the warp and woof of their religion. The life of Christ is an argument that the most bigoted cannot gainsay, and it would be interesting to see what effect would be produced by trans planting them to a Christian environment, where all fear would be removed. Many of them, I am sure, would be glad to leave the superstitions and the inequalities of Islam behind them; for there is so little in that religion to claim the enthusiastic devotion of their young hearts; but it will be a greater triumph for the Gospel to have those hearts surrendered to Christ in the very midst of opposi tion and public opinion, and it is in this hope that our work and prayers go on. There is a noticeable difference in the personnel of the two schools. The members of the Protestant congregation, almost without exception, have moved to Ashar, leaving Armenians, a couple of Jewesses and many Moslems of good families in the Basrah school. Half the attendance of fifty pupils in Ashar is made up of Christians, and, even so, we are besieged by Chaldeans and Syrians to take their' girls, since their schools have been closed for lack of funds and lack of harmony. W e now have pupils from the first to the eighth grade in Ashar, and with only ope teacher and half the time of another, it is impossible to accommodate all the Catholics of this part of the town. When they find that we refuse them, they look up their family tree and make capital of any Protestant connection, to the third and fourth generation. One importunate mother declared that she would come every day until I changed my mind, but the status quo is still maintained. W e have ten or more new Moslem girls this autumn, but most of them belong to poor families, who are likely to need their help before they have learned enough to be of any real value to them afterwards. In this way, the work in Ashar is less satis factory than in Basrah, where we have fewer girls but more promis ing ones. There have been no startling developments during the year, but it has been a pleasure and a relief to have Rachel Jackson as a co worker since the first of January. Her coming has made it possible to increase the number of classes in English, and she has also con ducted a kindergarten class in each school in a more systematic way than was possible with only one missionary in charge. These classes are exceedingly popular, even the older girls begging for a chance to work with the attractive materials. W e have taken one afternoon a week for calling, and in this way have enlarged our circle of ac quaintances and, we hope, of influence. Our need for a building is as great as ever, and we look forward hopefully to the time when our dreams of a boarding school and a playground in connection with our daily task shall be realized. Miss Ruth Jackson writes'of the Evangelistic W o rk : It was with real joy that I entered Basrah to take up my first appointment to work, and that joy continued through the first most difficult months of making new acquaintances. Then the following up of these intro ductory visits turned many of the new acquaintances into personal friends. Thus the visiting becomes increasingly worth while with the

greater opportunities that friendship gives for the presenting of ou message. The mornings were spent largely in calling among the very poor in their huts and the afternoons in visiting the more well-to-do people in their houses. The latter is much more difficult for me be cause the middle and upper class of women are seldom willing to listen to Bible reading and a message must be given by taking ad vantage of any opening which the conversation affords. The work among the poor is quite a contrast. They are always glad of Gospel reading, frequently asking for it themselves and join ing in the discussion of it. Often a child is sent out among the neighbors to announce my arrival and invite them to join us until a large group is gathered. I think that this visiting has also been a means of bringing quite a number of women to the Thursday prayer meeting for Moslems. During the winter I took the meeting only ' once a month but had entire charge of it during the summer. The gatherings are very informal, either in the hut or in the open court yard, and the freedom with which the women interrupt the talk, making comments or giving their own illustrations, shows their real attention and interest. M y especial pleasure was the Sunday school for Moslem children which I started in the winter. The first Sunday there were four chil dren but soon there was an average attendance of twenty-odd young sters each week. Their eager interest in the stories and big illustrative pictures made them an.inspiring group. To attract the children I promised a small doll to each one after a month’s attendance. I never gave the doll at Sunday school but took it during the week to the child’s home and thus made friends with the families. That opened up many new districts to me and continually brought new children. Of course some dropped out after receiving their dolls, especially those living further away, yet others continued coming faithfully. But as the weather grew hot the attendance dropped so low that it seemed best, about the first of July, to stop for the sum mer. I hope that in the coming year this branch of the work can be developed more,'for I believe it offers big opportunities among the children and may be a means of bringing them into the day school. ' During the date season I spent nearly two weeks at a date pack ing camp and used that time to work among the women packers. I visited with them at their work each morning and after work was finished for the day I sat with them outside their huts as they cooked their evening rice. All of them were very cordial. There were two groups, those brought down from Gurna, who had had no Christian contact before, and some from the outskirts of Basrah who said they had seen many white women but never before talked with one. I hope to he able to find their homes and follow up, this work in Basrah. Altogether it has been a year full of rich experience in a work that ever opens up greater opportunities of service to the Master who has sent us here to labor in His vineyard and I pray that this experi ence and these friendships m a y be used n o w and in the coming year to the greater fwrtherance of His K i n g d o m here.

Mrs..Van Ess sends an account of evangelistic work entitled— T H E T A L E O F A N O T E BOOK. I am only a small linen covered note book, and I originally came out to Arabia from’America in a Guild box. As soon as I saw the light of day after my long journey, I heard the voice of the mission ary lady who unpacked me exclaim“This will be just the thing to keep my record of evangelistic work in— small enough to slip into my bag with my Testament and little hymn book.” Since then I have been with her nearly everywhere, and have received all her confidences, and often there is a whole story indicated by what looks on the surface, of my pages like just a few words hastily jotted down. At the beginning of every month she puts down three little groups of dates— for the two mid-week prayer meetings, and the Sunday Bible Class— and each week she takes me and fills it in, for place, leader, and number present. There’s a story in those records 1°° ‘n December the Bible Class had such nice large attendances, and the Moslem prayer meeting too, and the entry for December 27th was “Place— chapel— Christmas party— number present, over 100.” Then in January the numbers seemed so small, only after each entry was the explanation in parenthesis— “rain.” An American note book which has never travelled might wonder why that was an excuse for such small attendances, but a missionary note book like me has seen for itself how impassable all but the main roads are after heavy rains, and would realize that these poor old black women and Arab women couldn’t possibly travel through such a sea of mud, no matter how anxious they were to hear the gospel talk, to join in singing “0 Happy Day” and “Come to Jesus,” and to sit around the charcoal brazier for a glass of tea afterwards. Likewise, anyone who didn’t know would wonder why the small Bible classes in April were ac counted for by the explanatory parenthesis “Ramadhan,” when that was also the explanation for the unusually large prayer meetings in that month! However, I, being on the inside of things, know that that little hieroglyph means “evening meetings.” During the day everyone is supposed to be fasting from sunrise to sunset, but in the evening women have more liberty to go out than at any other time during the year, and the meetings in the brightly lighted chapel were popular and well attended. On December 19th I record the little entry “Christian women organized,” which stands for much more than making monthly pledges, and outlining a budget which included gifts to Japan, the Jubilee Fund, and to refugees from Turkey, as well as to poor people in Basrah. I also notice that a different leader is noted each time for that weekly meeting, and I know that they are trying to make every member do her share, and not depend on the leadership of a few. The record of calls which my pages bear is the most suggestive of variety and significance. Here is quite a list in one afternoon, and how it reminds me of her splashing through the mud in forlorn settle ments of huts, and the heartache and depression of a tour for Poor Relief investigation. Here is just one name for a whole day, but written against it are the words “very good talk.” And I remember

how close she felt that she came to a group of elderly Arab ladies, gathered around the fire after dinner, in the shuttered room of i. high mud-colored house across Khandak creek in one of Basrah’s, least progressive suburbs. Here are records of calls and after each name “old school girl”; there is jotted down after a new name “has a son in Boys’ School.” Here is the record of attendance at part of a wed ding festivity; and there of going to a house of mourning to one of the soul-wracking “ta’zias” which are worse than a dozen funerals in one. Here is the mention of a trip up the river to Kwena, sixty miles by motor car; and there are jotted down trips to Mohammerah and Abul Khassib. Besides her own calls, each month ends with a summary of the visits made by the two Bible women. From the end of December I begin to notice the initials “R. J.” as a calling companion and prayer meeting leader, and I realize with joy that I am no longer the only little evangelistic note book in Basrah. Anybody who could interpret me could read a lot from me— old friendships continued or renewed and new ones made, visits received with sympathy and joy and others with curiosity or antagonism, to rich and poor, ignorant and sophisticated, town and country women. I am only a little note book, I am getting shabby, and I have not nearly as much to record as I wish. But I hope, and I believe, that some of these names in my pages will one day be found in the Book of Life. “Then said I, Lo, I am come; In the roll of the book it is written of m e : I delight to do thy will, 0 my God; Yea, thy law is within my heart. I have proclaimed glad tidings of righteousness in the great assembly; Lo, I will not refrain my lips, 0 Jehovah, thou knowest.” — Psalm 40.

BAHREIN Evangelistic— Mrs. Dame, Mrs. Bamy and Mrs. Hakken. Educational— Mrs. Dame. Medical— Miss Dalenberg. The women’s evangelistic work of Bahrein was in charge of Mrs. Pennings until her departure on furlough in March, when Mrs. Dame took it over. Mrs. Dame writes: The usual routine was continued in conducting the weekly women’s prayer meeting, calling in the homes, holding prayers in the dispensary and visiting the in-patients and holding the weekly mejlis. Mrs. Hakken was good enough to receive our Arab guests on Thursdays as long as my school continued which made my attendance impossible. All the ladies of the station went calling and the Bible woman did faithful service. A new departure was ventured upon when the hot days of sum mer came upon us. W e have in Bahrein a large number of summer

visi ors in the outlying suburbs who would find it difficult to come the tong distance to us in the heat even if they were allowed to do so, which permission is often denied. So we took our meetings to them: using the Medical Ford as a means of transportation. W e held meetings in Jeberabad (the new Persian village), Aguthabiya, Urn el Hussan and Hura. These meetings were kept up from the first of August through October. They were quite informal and the attend ance varied but in almost every case was much better than we could have expected in the chapel in the heat. Our average attendance was about 20 and one time we had over 80. W e made many new friends by this means and touched a great number of women-whom we could not have otherwise reached. There are no converts to report but we had a request for baptism at Christmas time by a hospital helper. Unfortunately immediately afterwards she became very ill and entirely lost her voice which she has not yet regained and can only speak in whispers. Her illness lasted several months and interfered with her instruction and when she was able to be up and around she went to Darein for some weeks and after that felt she was too busy with various things to take lessons and so far she is not fully prepared for the step and hesitates to take it. Rahma, a former inquirer, died a few months ago. Mrs. Dame writes also of the Bahrein Girls’ School: The school opened on October 15th last year with an enrollment of 18 girls, which number increased until the end of the month when I was obliged to be absent for three weeks owing to illness. I am grateful to the Misses Jackson and Mrs. Pennings for keeping the school open during that time. Naturally with the absence of a regular teacher and with half-day sessions the attendance fell off somewhat but picked up again before Christmas. W e had a very happy Christmas party in December and after wards our attendance increased so that we had about twice as many girls as we could accommodate with seats, and longed for our new ones to come. January was our banner month until suddenly plague broke out and changed things. The Arabs especially were very much afraid of the “needle” and had somehow got the notion that I was going to innoculate them and they stayed away. All the children who remained and the braver ones who returned did go either to our hospital or to the civil hospital for innoculation and every morning before lessons each child had to wash her hands in bichloride solution so that we did not feel it necessary to close the school during the epidemic which lasted several months although the plague did keep many at home. . Our new seats came from Katpadi and we installed them the end of January. To celebrate their arrival we had a tea party, all the details of which were arranged for and managed by the girls them selves. The school “birthday” in April— a day in which we have open house for our friends and give an exhibit of the work— was not so well attended this year because it came during Ramadhan.

I followed the same plan this year as last in doing all the teachÂ ing myself, the curriculum consjsting of classes in Bible, arithmetic, reading, writing and geography^taught 'in Arabic; classes in English covering conversation, and reading, and vocal music in both languages. Friday was again made an Arts and Crafts day with drawing, conÂ struction, physical exercises and sewing, besides the regular Bible work. Our total enrollment for the year was 43, consisting of 2 Christians, 13 Jewesses and 28 Moslems. The latter group included 15 Arabs, 7 Persians, 4 Indians and 2 Negresses. W e had a total of 148 visitors throughout the year. The Moslems, while greater in number, came less regularly than the other groups. I have been told that Matowas in the neighborhood have warned the parents against sending their children. Two little girls reported beatings by their parents for coming. Another little* girl (Arab) said her father would not allow her to come but that he was going to Bombay and when he left she would return to us! In making calls at these homes I have been cordially received except at one place where the atmosphere was quite chilly if not openly hostile. But the cordiality loses its flavor when they begin to give bland but wholly untrue excuses for the childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s absences. However, I hope and pray that we may be able to break down gradually this indifference and prejudice and I intreat your prayers to this end that m a n y little girls m a y be privileged to come where they m a y learn the Truth that shall set them free both mentally and spiritually. Miss Dalenberg writes as follows: Our clinics this year have been running about the same as last. The total number of patients treated was 5,158. Of these, 3,106 were new cases. Nine months out of the twelve we kept record of the nationalities of the patients and find that over 60 per cent, of them were Persians. The remaining 40 per cent, was made up of Baluchis, Bahranis, Jews, Arabs and a few Indians. During the summer, when the men are away and the women are more free to go about, clinics are larger. This is particularly true of the Arabs. Taxi service has been the means of bringing to us a larger number of the better class Arabs and Persians. It is no longer a novelty to see a taxi stopping at the gate and well-dressed Arab women alighting. Clinic prayers were led two days in the week by the Bible Women, one day by the nurse and the remaining two days by lady missionaries of the station. Before or after dispensary prayers the leader goes upstairs to read to the in-patients. Our dispensary interpreter made the first openings for our village prayer meetings. She introduced them in her own village, where several successive meetings were held, and from there it was easy to establish links" between other villages or settlements. The village prayer meetings were, as a matter of fact, made possible through friendships made in the hospital in times past. Our number of in-patients, 40 in all, seems low but it does not mean that we had empty wards for any great length of time. A number of the patients we had were the kind that stay months and

monv.hs. One, a paralysis case, was an in-patient over a year and a gun-shot wound case was with us over six months. If it were possible for us to accommodate whole families, or at least men and women together, we should have many more patients. Many times families come great distances, and while the wife, mother, or sister or daughter stays for treatment, the others have no place to stay. One six-bed ward, as we have so often pointed out, is entirely insufficient to meet these needs. W e are glad to report that two family rooms will be added to the quarantine rooms which are now being used for that purpose. This, as you will hear in the report of the Men’s Medical Work, is due to the generosity and interest of Mr. Rosenthal. These new rooms will be used by the women as well as by the men, as the need or occasion may arise. Major operations performed by Dr. Dame, or by Dr. Moerdyk in Dr. Dame’s absence, number 14; minor operations by nurses 26, and Neo-salvarsan injections 13. Three major operations performed just recently were on patients from Bushire and other places in Persia, who came all the way to Bahrein for that purpose. Outcalls have formed a large part of the work and have been the most interesting phase of it. Of 931 out-calls made, 103 were in Moharrek or Hudd. A call to either of these places means practically a day gone. For calls in and around Menameh the medical Ford has been a great help and time-saver. During the plague epidemic and a later epidemic of acute conjunctivitis as many as ten calls were made in a day. People who can afford it send a taxi for the nurse but where possible we use the mission Ford. Hardly a day goes by but we bless the donor of it and also Dr. Harrison, who sent it to Bahrein. A rather unique experience of the Hospital has been the re ceiving of an orphan. He is not really such, but his father, a Persian, was not able to take care of him. His mother is dead and all the care he received was what a neighbor woman could give him. Habeeb is about two years old, and has a tubercular spine. His father brought him to the clinic one day, and wanted medicine for his poor crooked little back. Dr. Dame told him there was hope that he could be straightened if we could keep him here about six months. His father replied that if we had him that long we could keep him; so we have him. A frame is being made for his back and he is at present in the women’s ward in the care of a Persian woman and supported by the hospital. W e are hoping to find someone at home who will undertake his support. Financially, the Women’s work gives the hospital a little lift now and then. Obstetrical cases and out-calls bring in fees. W e have made new rules and fixed rates for obstetrical cases, and hope to do our part toward making this a self-supporting hospital in the near future. Several improvements have been added this year. The iron beds and bedside tables mentioned in last year’s report have mater ialized. A trunkful of supplies was received from Westfield, and also six all-wool blankets. A dozen blankets are on the way from

South Holland. Mr. Rosenthal, in his last visit to the hospital/ was grieved to see patients sleeping on beds without sheets and Usked us to make a list of needed linens that he might supply. A recent gift of $100 has made it possible to have cement floors in our dis pensary rooms and we are adding furniture and equipment from time to time with an eye toward using it in the new hospital in the future. In every department of the work we feel the restraint of cramped space* and small equipment. W e feel that the women’s work in Bahrein has reached the stage where institutional work must be developed. It is no longer the pioneer work that it was ten years ago, and the needs that were pointed out last year are still there, greater than ever before.

KUWEIT Evangelistic— Mrs. Mylrea, Miss Scardefield and Miss Strang. Medical— Dr. Calverley, Mrs. Harrison and Miss Van Pelt. A separate report of the work in Kuweit Station has been printed and a few copies have been sent to America for distribution to those who are especially interested. From that report we cull the following items from^Mrs. Calvefley’s pen, about the Medical work for women. ■ One of the most pleasant features of the year’s experience has been co-operation with Mrs. Mylrea in the medical work. The dis pensary is growing in numbers to such an extent that it is difficult for one to carry the burden alone. The high water mark of dis pensary attendance before our, furlough was under sixty. Now it is over a hundred. , Ravamony, the Indian nurse, has made herself invaluable. She is quick, skillful and efficient. Next summer is her time to go to India, and she does not expect to return. The search for a substi tute or substitutes for her has been unavailing. W U l you remember in your prayers owr need for two Indian nurses to take Ba va m o n y ’s placet n ■ In former years there have never been so many in-patients as of late. Some of the most respected families seem to feel it no disgrace to allow their women to stay in the hospital. For the first time the capacity of our hospital has been taxed. W e shall soon need to build more private wards. Perhaps the greatest evangelistic opportunity of all is that offered by the in-patients. Those who are convalescent hear the dispensary preaching almost every day. Besides this, whenever possible, we have made it a point to spend at least' one evening in each patient’s room. It is remarkable to see the clamoring crowd of dispensary patients seat themselves with scarcely a murmur, and listen patiently and with apparent appreci ation to a story from the Gospel and a prayer in their behalf. Perhaps they have learned to submit gracefully to the inevitable, or perhaps they have come to believe our daily assertion that the reading of God’s Word is really more for their benefit than any

medicine could be. At any rate, it has stirred our hearts to look into those scores of upturned faces, to hear intelligent answers to our questions about Christ, and to see, sometimes, tears welling in the eyes of those whose hearts are touched. After all, there is nothing very new about this report. The story is similar to that of other years: the work growing, appreci ation increasing, opposition dying, hope continuing— but no con verts yet! n W e sometimes wonder how many times we must march around our Jericho, but we -will keep on marching till the walls give way. But as we march let us not forget to shout and blow the trumpets.

Coming, coming, yes they are, Coming, coming, from afar. From Arabia’s Moslem millions, Swarthy sons of Ishmael. They must live before the Saviour! They must learn to love Him well! Total Treatments 10,000 New cases 3,400 Operations 110 Outcalls 205 Old cases 6,600 In-patients 50 Days spent in Hospital 1,230

Dr. Mylrea and other workers in Kuweit have borne testimony to the beautiful work among children and women initiated by Misses Scardefield and Strang and carried on by them till both were in capacitated by illness. Miss Strang has gone to India, hoping for recovery, while Miss Scardefield has lain at death’s door many weeks but at last accounts was improving slowly. The other mis sionaries have been most devoted in ministering to her, night and .day, and have found her automobile invaluable in going back and forth between her house and theirs, as they are a mile apart. Miss Van Pelt is now back from her furlough and is taking charge of Miss Scardefield a great part of the time, and Miss Iva L. Robertson, who is a true “Mother’s Helper” to Mrs. Calverley, is a God-send, not only in teaching the children, but in helping in many ways and ever ready to do “the next thynge.”

AMARA Evangelistic— Mrs. Dykstra. Language Study— Mrs. Moerdyk. In February 1924, Mudaarrah, the sister of the Amara convert, Ali, was taken very suddenly into the presence of the Lord, whom she had confessed openly two months previously. She has left be hind her a shining record of faithfulness, and is greatly missed. Besides teaching a number of people to read during the year, Mrs. Dykstra has sometimes had as many as sixty patients a day coming to her with simple ailments, and of this feature of her work she writes: “The quality of this work was naturally very inferior but I think- that the great number coming to me, who am so un

fitted for it, testifies to the great need for medical work in this district.” One can readily imagine how happy she is now that Dr. and Mrs. Moerdyk have been appointed to Amara, and that it has been decided to put up -a Lansing Memorial Hospital there, in place of that which is no longer needed in Basrah, since the Government Hospital is adequate for the needs there. The Gospel talks given by Mrs. Dykstra have been well received and in telling about them, she writes of one instance when she was emphasizing the fact that all are sinners by nature, always includ ing herself in the “we”; whereupon one attentive listener suddenly ^ interrupted her by saying, “Yes, we know that you are a great sinner, all of you are.” “Well,” said Mrs. Dykstra, “aren’t you a sinner too?” “No,” said she, “I have no sin, I am a Moslem!” A great part of the evangelistic work in Amara consists in calling and receiving calls and as far as possible Mr. and Mrs. Dykstra have continued their boat work, but have been greatly hampered by lack of funds and were obliged to dismiss some valued helpers. Another disheartening feature has been, the extreme poverty of many of the people in Amara, especially of the old women, who are no longer wanted and are little more than outcasts. To these “tired, helpless souls” the missionaries have been giving a meal a day in their own home.

Mrs. Dykstra writes: As I close this report (which is my third from Amara) it is with a consciousness of the feebleness of our efforts over against such great problems, such great needs, such a large field to cover— but also with a firm reliance upon the promise: “Lo, I am with you alway.” I feel grateful for good health, for many personal blessings and assurances of help from friends at home. Owr prayer for A m a r a is that it m a y be more adequately martmed and for ourselves that w e m a y recewe new strength for the work of the year before us.

BAGHDAD Evangelistic— -Mrs. Cantine. Educational— Mrs. Thoms. No report has come from Baghdad since Mrs. Cantine’s poor health has prevented her from going about as she has done so faithfully in days gone by, while Mrs. Thoms reached Baghdad only in January 1925. Mrs. Thoms has been lent by the Arabian Mission to the United Mission in Mesopotamia to help in the establishment of a Girls’ School in Baghdad, but still retains her place as one of our Arabian Missionaries.

Annual Reports for the Year Ending May, 1925 THE CORRESPONDING SECRETARY. Our Jubilee Year is behind us. Already the Woman’s Board of Foreign Missions stands with expectant feet within the portals of its sixth decade. Midway of the century we have paused to review the way that God has led us and to behold as from a mountain peak the misty land of far reaching distances which the generation following shall yet possess. Throughout the Jubilee Year “Nearer, our God, to Thee!” has been the burden of our prayer. Reports from many societies testify that this has been to them a year of great spiritual uplift. Whether, this elevation has been felt, as we desired, “in every congregation and in every home” is for you who read to judge. The demonstrable results of the Jubilee Year as summarized at the Birthday Celebration on January 21st were: 86 4,000 800 20 $119,078.58

new societies new members babies added to the Baby Roll new missionaries (including associate missionaries) in the Jubilee Fund

Gifts continued to come, up to the very end of the fiscal year, so that the Jubilee Fund today totals $126,501.92 which is to be distributed as follows: To the Amoy Mission, for purchase of the Talmage College property and erection thereon of Girls’ High School buildings ................ ......... $ 30,000.00 To the Japan Mission, for erection of missionary resi dences ................................. 30,000.00 To the Arcot Mission, for building the Women’s In dustrial Home .......................... 18,000.00 The Nurses’ Home at Madanapalle.......... 3,231.90 And an additional Nurses’ Home at Ranipettai 4,000.00 To the Arabian Mission for building the Girls’ School and Missionary residence at Basrah ........... 25,274.18 The children’s offering is to be divided as needed be tween the Children’s Homes in the Amoy and Arcot Missions ............................... 10,000.00 The remainder to be equally divided among the four Fields for the Jubilee Buildings................ 5,995.84 These Jubilee attainments impress upon us certain obvious lessons— (1) That believing prayer works, (2) That the Church’s resources in life and money have not yet been fully released, (3) That God

still honors the prayer for laborers for the harvest, (4) That He, by the action of His power within us, is able to do exceeding abund antly above all that we ask or think. So our experience of the past becomes our ground of hope for the future and we begin this new year where we began the last— at the “throne of grace,”— calling all the Auxiliaries to the use of a new prayer calendar, entitled “First of all, Pray.” The special activities of the Jubilee Year culminated in the Jubilee Celebration of January 17 to 21. Children’s Day, Jubilee Sunday, Young Women’s Day and Jubilee Day were observed with stirring spirit in spite of the inclemencies of the weather. As the full story has been told in the Church periodicals and the main addresses of Jubilee Day have been made available in pamphlet form, the account of these ceremonies and of the really remarkable Jubilee Exhibit may be omitted from this report. Before leaving the subject, however, we would record our hearty appreciation of the co-operation of ministers, churches, women’s and young women’s organizations, Bible Schools and children’s groups, and of individual helpers everywhere, who by their prayers, their gifts, and their active interest, brought the Jubilee to a successful issue. W e would make special mention of the fine publicity accorded us by the Church periodicals in general and by “The Christian Intelligencer and Mission Field” in particular. Special recognition is due to the splendid, work of the women of Chicago Synod, under the able leadership of Mrs. Wayer and the inspirational visits of Miss Katharine Green and Miss Leona Vander Linden, in amassing so large a gift for the Girls’ High School at Amoy. The Western District Secretary of the Board of Foreign Missions, Rev. W. J. Van Kersen, has rendered valuable service in the translation of Jubilee literature into the Holland language and in general helpful ness. The Jubilee story would be incomplete without mention of the participation of the women and children of the Orient. Their union with us in the ministry of intercession was alluded to in the last Annual Report. Their contribution to the Jubilee Exhibit of the work of their hands,— needlework, embroideries, paintings, woven baskets, exhibits of school work, models of schools and villages,— not only brought them very near to us, hut gave us to realize what they are gaining from our institutions. The articles sent by the Mission aries for the exhibit, many of them gifts from the Missionaries them selves, netted a considerable amount for the Jubilee fund. Gifts from the women on the Mission Field, unexpected, and peculiarly touching as an expression of their appreciation of the Board’s work for them and of their fellowship with us in our rejoicing, amounted to $354.79. In the Arcot Mission, Jubilee Day was celebrated at every Mission station with a joyous enthusiasm akin to our own. Thus is forged another link in the chain that binds us in one sisterhood the world around. One hundredth anniversaries of the organization of their Women’s Missionary Societies have been held in the churches of New Utrecht

and First New Brunswick, and fiftieth anniversaries of charter Auxiliaries in several other churches. With minds so obsessed by the Jubilee, there seemed a possibility that the normal work might suffer, but such was not the case. The Treasurer’s Report at the end of the year shows all our regular obligations met and a clean slate for the new year and the new decade.

The Fenby and Poillon legacies have been appropriated to a Hospital for women and children to be built at Bahrein, the Lyles legacy to the Nurses’ Home at Mary Lott Lyles Hospital, Madana palle (Jubilee Building), the Duryee legacy to the Girls’ High School, Amoy (Jubilee Building), the Olcott legacy to the. Social Center, Vellore, India. An unrestricted legacy has enabled us to meet the obligations of the year and provided an addition to the Con tingent Fund which helps to carry on during the summer months. One important matter that would, perhaps, have received earlier attention, had not the Jubilee objects been in hand, is the rebuilding of Ferris Seminary, laid waste by the Earthquake in September, 1923. The year of absorption in the Jubilee, however, has afforded time for careful consideration and evolvement of the best plans for Ferris reconstruction. As we enter on our new decade, our oldest seminary,

“one of the strongest outposts for Christ that the Reformed Church has in the East,” under the Principalship of Rev. Luman J. Shafer, is carrying forward the education of 450 girls, in temporary barracks on the old site on the devastated Bluff. What must we do? A sudden light is thrown upon our quandary by a large gift from two friends in America for the purchase of land needed for adequate rebuilding. The prospect of a Building Fund to be secured in Japan by the Ferris Alumnae and the sums already in hand from the Ferris Reconstruction and Kuyper Memorial Funds embolden us to undertake the rebuilding as soon as feasible, making the main building a Jennie M. Kuyper Memorial. The little round-the-world mite-boxes, so popu lar during the Jubilee will shortly show again their shining faces; we trust the Church will give them kindly welcome. A memorial gift of $50, sent by the Educational Society of Yokohama to Miss Kuyper’s sisters at Pella, Iowa, has been forwarded by them to the Board with the request that it be used in the new Ferris. ' Except for the Jubilee, the year 1924-5 has been in no way re markable. There have been the usual demands upon the Office for speakers, 285 engagements having been filled.by Missionaries and Board members between May, 1924, and May, 1925. The calls for literature, program suggestions, costumes and curios are incessant, and Miss Frances Voorhees, who came to us as Office Assistant in September, is kept busy supplying these educational needs. The Christmas sale of articles from the Orient and the Jubilee Christmas cards made the Holiday season a busy time for Miss Yoorhees’ de partment, and the popularity of Mrs. Chamberlain’s remarkable history of the Board, “Fifty Years in Foreign Fields,” would have swamped us completely hed° it not been for the timely aid of Miss Mary Waldron, who has given many days to voluntary help in the mailing department. Friends are always at hand in time of need. To meet the demand for speakers Mrs. Booth, Miss Lansing, Mrs. Ruigh, Miss Berg, Miss Boynton, Miss Van Pelt, Mrs. Talman, Mr. and Mrs. Van Vranken, Mr. Barny, and later Miss Moordyk, Mre. S. M. Zwemer, Mr. Potter, Miss Vander Linden, Mrs. Poppen, Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Warnshuis and Rev. Milton Stauffer have been ready at call. Mrs. H. E. D. Jackson has shared with some societies her daughters’ letters from Arabia, and Mrs. J. W. Scudder, returned from a visit to her daughter Ruth in India, has been glad to tell of her experiences. Miss Littell, Miss Edwards and Mrs. Stillwell have graciously and acceptably augmented the usual staff of Board speakers. Mrs.' Wayer and Mrs. Hondelink have had many engagements in their respective terri tories. At the Western Conferences in the fall, by special request, the Foreign Board was represented by Miss Vander Linden, Mr. Pennings and Mr. Hoekje. | Besides the Missionaries on furlough mentioned above, there have returned to America Miss Edith Teets and Miss Gertrude Pieters, the former anticipating her furlough by one year to care for an aged and invalid father, the latter shortening her term of service for her prospective marriage.

Returned to the Field are Miss Lansing to Mr. Ohara’s School and evangelistic work in Tokyo, Mrs. Thoms to Baghdad to establish a Girls’ School under the United Mesopotamian Mission, Miss Mor rison to Chiang Chiu, Miss Green to the North River District, “the District that Spells Opportunity,” whence she already reports having walked 220 miles in two months, and Miss Van Pelt, whose care since her return has been mainly given to Miss Scardefield, whose serious illness has for several months been a cause of great anxiety to the Arabian Mission. The Arcot Mission has welcomed Miss Caroline Ingham, Miss Mary Geegh and Miss Helen Scudder (daugh ter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry J. Scudder of Punganur) as new mis sionaries and is most fortunate in the addition to its forces of Miss Eleanor Gibbons of the Esther Patton Girls’ High School of the West India Presbyterian Mission at Kolhapur, through her marriage to Mr. Mason Olcott of Vellore. Miss Ruth Broekema has found her place of service in China. Our hearts have deeply sympathized with Mrs. Theodore Zwemer in her desolating sorrow. W e trust that she may remain in India, with the little son whom God has given her, to accomplish the work to which she has dedicated herself and for which she is so well fitted. In her first Telugu examination Mrs. Zwemer scored the highest marks ever received in the Mission. The doors of the Heavenly Home have opened to receive our dear Mrs. Hutton, member of the Board since 1906, who, with her dis tinguished husband, Dr. Mancius H. Hutton, visited the Mission Fields in the delegation of 1904. Although for some years her in validism has deprived us of her gracious presence at the Board meet ings, we have felt the influence of her interest and prayers, and we shall miss them in the days to come. From among our Honorary Vice-Presidents God has called Mrs. Ralph Voorhees and Mrs. Jared Van Wagenen, ripe in years and rich in faith and in good works. To the Board we have elected Mrs. J. Clarence Miller of Mountain Lakes, N. J., and to the Honorary Vice-Presidency Mrs. J. N. Trompen of Grand Rapids, Mich., and Miss Nanna Heath Peters of Washington, D. C. Changes in the Classical Committee Members are as follows: Resigned, From Classis of Muskegon, Mrs. James Danhof. From Classis of Montgomery, Mrs. James Wilkie. Removed, • From Classis of Orange, Mrs. Theodore Bayles. From Classis of Philadelphia, Mrs. William Sahler. Appointed, To Classis of Orange, Mrs. William V. Berg, of Port Jervis. As Classical Representative for Young Women’s Work, Miss Anna Pressman succeeds Miss Winnie Roos in the Classis of East Sioux. The appointment of Mr. Max Nelson as Secretary of Missionary Education under the four Mission Boards is, we hope, a long step in the direction of more systematic education in Missions in all de-

W o m a n ' s B o a r d of Foreign Missions \ partments of the Church. Because of Miss Lang’s illness in the late winter and early spring. Miss Helen Van Fleet of Somerville was invited to act as her substitute in field work during April. Miss Van Fleet presented Young Women’s Work very acceptably at the Spring Conferences. J

Delegates have been sent as usual to the Summer Missionary Conferences. Miss Benedict of the Baltimore School of Religious Education represented us at the Student Conference at Silver Bay, Mrs. A. De Young of Grand Rapids at the Summer School for Mis sions at Winona, and Mrs. Anthony Walvoord of Hope College at the Student Conference at Lake Geneva. Camp Eendracht at Northfield was well supplied with leaders, having Miss Frances Voorhees as Camp Leader, Miss Lang as Assistant and Mrs. D. V. B. Hegeman as Camp Advisor. Miss Sarah A. Bussing and Mrs. Hegeman have been appointed to serve on the NorthfieldlCommittee under the new system of organization. I The Board was represented at the Institute for a Christian Basis of World Relations held at Vassar College, Poughkeepsie, in June, 1924. Several members attended the Foreign Missions Convention at Washington, January 28 to February 2, 1925, and the Federation of Women’s Foreign Boards, which immediately preceded it, and some were present at the Twenty-fifth Anniversary Dinner of the United Study Committee on January 27th. Limitation of space forbids any comment on these eventful gatherings except to record the deep im pression of the Washington Convention— that Jesus must have the right of way in our lites in order that his jSpirit may use us and all that we have to make H i m known and to establish the reign of God among men. j Items of interest from, the Mission Field which possibly do not appear in the printed Reports of the Foreign Corresponding Secre taries are: ~ Japan— The erection of a Chape! for Sturges Seminary by our Presbyterian co-workers with funds received from the Sage legacy. The opening of evangelistic work in a spinning and weaving factory at Kagoshima, by which our Missionary comes in contact with the industrial life of the people. 1 The introduction of the teaching of the Braille system at Ferris on condition that the students will help in teaching the blind. China— Work going on in the midst of incredible conditions of typhoon, floods and’ fighting, the government of Sio-khe having changed hands six times in twenty-nine days. The opening of a new Women’s School at Leng Na. The transfer of the Amoy Girls’ High School to the Talmage College buildings after the departure of Talmage College to ChiangChiu. India— The completion of the Sherman Memorial High School at Chittoor and the exchange of pupils between Chittoor and Ranipettai, the High School students concentrating at Chittoor, the Secondary students at Ranipet.

The following statement from the inspection report of the Director of Public Instruction: “The Management (of the Sherman Memorial School) have set before themselves a high educational ideal and grati fying progress is being made towards realizing it.” A similar commendation by the Government Inspector of Miss Coburn’s work at the Madanapalle High School. “Unity and Progress” is the watchword adopted by the Woman’s Evangelistic Board of the Arcot Assembly, now made fully re sponsible for evangelistic work for women and children in towns and villages in the Arcot Mission and for the Hindu girls’ schools. Arabia— Arabia has moved nearer, since it is possible now to cross the desert by motor car from Beirut to Baghdad in from 24 to 30 hours. ■ There is great rejoicing at the news that the Woman’s Board will help to build a hospital for women and children at Bahrein. Best of all, there are inquirers and new converts in Arabia for whom the prayers of American Christians are most earnestly desired. The Jubilee Year is over. The specific and tangible aims we set before us have been achieved, but as we close the book of the Jubilee, let us remind ourselves of something that was written while the Jubilee was still in full course and let us measure our success by this stand ard: “The Year of Jubilee will not achieve its purpose if it results merely in inflated membership and a big gift. It must lift us and our churches nearer God. It must be the beginning of a new en thusiasm, of a new sense of stewardship, of a new and permanent devotion to the Mission cause as God’s way of establishing His world-wide dominion.” And let us in closing the book of the old year and opening the volume of the new, in which are written greater possibilities and greater issues than any we have faced heretofore, take to our hearts this pregnant word from “Prayer and Missions,” the new text-book for 1925: Every fresh putting forth of missionary energy has been preceded by believing prayer.

EDITORIAL AN D

EDUCATIONAL

SECRETARY

Throughout the Jubilee year it has been the aim to give our societies every possible help through the printed and pictorial page. The latter has cultural value. Pictures catch the eye, arrest attention, drive home a truth, and often inspire “him who runs” with a renewed purpose. The educative influence of print is not a small one. Even a casual reader of missionary literature cannot but realize that Chris tian missionary work is world-wide in its scope, and powerful in its effect. It is largely through the printed page we must needs reach the women of our churches and deepen an intelligent interest in Missions, thus developing a trained leadership, for readers do make leaders. Every woman who reads the “Christian Intelligencer and Mission Field,” “The Leader,” “DeHope,” Heidenwereld,” and “De Mitarbeiter,” and our other literature has the duty and opportunity

of becoming an authority on the subject of missions in our denomina tion. W e need the entire membership of our missionary societies to stand as intelligent witnesses for the cause of Missions. During the year the following leaflets have been issued: Mrs. Missionary Demonstrates. The Human Touch. Home Departments Give the Chinese Child a Chance. Ding Dong Bell (for Foreign Missions Sunday).

. -

Four hundred copies of “Ming Kwong” and fifty-six of “Chinese Lanterns” have been sold through the Board of Publication, but we know many procured copies elsewhere. In connection with these study books for the year on China, the following have been widely circulated and appreciated: Six Generations of Christians. The Twins. " Thanks for Grace Day. , The District that Spells Opportunity. A White Pearl. J . Love’s Story. <-> Developing Five Hundred Personalities. Escape in a Basket. « To meet the demand “An Afternoon in Arabia” has been re printed. Two sets of leaflets have been sent out through the Mis sionary Home Department to over 1,700 members. Two leaflets of special interest have recently been published, “The Door to Knowledge,” and “The Diary of Lotus Flower,” describing the Sherman Memorial Girls’ High School. To conserve the Intercession spirit manifested during the Jubilee the Board has issued “First of All,” which in the form of a book mark for one’s Bible, contains in condensed form items pertaining to the work and workers of our four fields. W e can pray with more intelligent sympathy when we are accurately informed. Encouragement and inspiration have come from many contacts as the Secretary has gone hither and yon, attending conferences, aux iliary meetings, giving illustrated lectures and speaking to Sunday schools. It was good, therefore, to have the personal horizon widened by attending the “Institute” held at Yassar College in June on “The Basis of a Christian W a y of Life.” At the Foreign Missions Convention which met in Washington the last of January we faced the duty and privilege of sharing the resources of knowledge, of religion, of wealth, of altruism, of litera ture with other nations less fortunately circumstanced. “The greatest problem of the missionary enterprise is how to preserve and multiply the finest types of missionary intelligence and devotion.” For this we work and pray.

COMMITTEE ON YOUNG W O M E N ’S W O R K W e report five regular meetings at irregular intervals, and one joint meeting of members of the Committees on Young Women’s Work of Domestic and Foreign Boards. The Young Women’s Work has encountered a real tragedy in the illness of Miss Lang, which necessitates her leaving us on Septem ber 1st. •Our Committee would like to go on recoi’d with a word of sincere appreciation of Miss Lang’s effective and devoted service during the two years in which she has held office and deepest regret for her anticipated departure from this very essential work of our Board. L ouise de M u n d H e g e m a n , Chairman.

FIELD SECRETARY FOR YOUNG W O M E N ’S W O R K At the end of his first year in any new work, one is surprised at all he has learned during that period; at the end of his second year, one is usually overwhelmed with all there is yet to be learned. This has been the experience of your Field Secretary in her relation to the Young Women’s Work over the period of two years just past. A year of many ups and downs has passed into history— but withal, a successful one, as those closest with the work do know, not so much from results that are tangible and which make exciting reports, but from all the many everyday contacts made by letter, telephone, office visit and on the field. Surely, God has been seen in His work in the hearts of young women, and we are confident that the future will bring to light many fruits not yet apparent, f Some of our plans, so hopefully made, have been frustrated by the force of circumstances. When ever-increasing duties, together with travelling and the business of routine office matters, made it apparent that help was necessary, the Boards, in December, pro vided the assistant requested; but then the long-continued illness of the Field Secretary raised another barrier to the fulfilment of hopes and plans. Yet God’s work has gone on in a maxrvelous way, and some achievements worthy of note will be recorded in the following paragraphs. S u m m e r Conferences Camp Eendracht, 1924, •went into history as a truly successful enterprise as it has so often proved to be in the past, with 79 as our total registration during the Foreign Missions Conference. Miss Frances V. Voorhees was its popular and well-loved leader; Miss R. Mildred Lang, associate leader; and Mrs. D. V. B. Hegeman. Camp Advisor, lovingly assisted in problems such as are wont to arise in any large group of girls. Three missionaries (Mrs. Henry Bilkert of Arabia, Miss Harriet Lansing of Japan, and Miss Mary Van Pelt of Arabia, official camp guest) added mightily to the spiritual power and missionary interest in our own denominational work, as they came in close and intimate contact with the girls in camp. Probably the most important and most direct result of the conference was the decision by one of our most popular Northfield girls, Miss Dorothy Bailey, to give her life 67

to missionary service. She is now under appointment ready to sail to India early in September. Over Twenty Dollars came into the Jubilee Fund through our Camp Eendracht “Conscience Fund,” made up of a duplication of all the nickels and dimes spent by the girls for goodies over a period of three days during the conference. Miss Marion J. Benedict represented both Women’s Boards of Missions at the Y. W. C. A. Student Conference at Silver Bay in 1924, and reported an “experimental conference of unusual interest, planned and carried out almost entirely by the students themselves. The Winona School of Missions had as our representative Miss Elizabeth De Young, who gives testimony to the personal blessing and inspiration gained there. j Y o un g W o m e n ’s Group Conferences Beports of a number of Group Conferences which have come to the ofiS.ce, indicate activity among the young women and bring encouragement to those who are furthering this work, through per sonal effort or through their gifts anil prayers. From Kalamazoo came a report of a very successful meeting held last autumn in conjunction with the Women’s Classical Missionary Union conference— a meeting with 90 young women in attendance. “Holland and vicinity” held a group conference at the Overisel Church last May, and Miss Westveer writes that over 160 young women responded to the invitation to be present. Sioux County, Iowa, reports a splendidly successful meeting held in the Central Church of Sioux Center last October, with addresses by Mrs. Garrett Pennings and Miss Marie De Keyser. The Young Women’s Missionary Union of the Classis of New Brunswick, the only Young Women’s Union known to exist, has held two conferences during the year— one(at Franklin Park last Septem ber and one this spring in New Brunswick. Two other Classical Conferences reported are those held last fall at Tarrytown, N. Y., for Westchester Classis, and at Harlingen, N. J., for Philadelphia Classis. Several city group meetings of which the Field Secretary has been informed are those held in Rochester, N. Y., Albany, N. Y and Grand Rapids, Mich. I Surely, such a list is inspiring, |.and there have probably been other such meetings not brought to the attention of the Young Women’s Department. There is a field for thought and endeavor in this important phase of the work. I Jubilee Celebration The big event planned by the Woman’s Board of Foreign Mis sions for young women and girls wasi“Young Women’s Jubilee Day” on January 20, 1925, the flay preceding the glorious all-day celebra tion of the women themselves. As onj that memorable day fifty years before when a little group of thirteen women braved the storms to he present at the organization of this Board, so on this day set for the Jubilee Celebration by the young women— snow, rain, sleet, and wind vied with one another for mastery, and many who had

Field Secretary for Y o u n g W o m e n ’s W o r k

purchased tickets for the Young Women’s Dinner were prevented from coming by tie-ups on the railroads. In spite of this, the worst storm of the season, about 250 young women were in attendance. Miss Leona Vander Linden addressed the five o’clock meeting, after which a happy supper hour was enjoyed at the Holland House Cafeteria. The girls marched into the church at 7 :30, singing the stirring “Jubilee Hymn” and Dr. James Gordon Gilkey of Spring field, Mass., gave a challenge to all in his address “The Challenge of the Old Church to the New Generation.” A beautiful tableau arranged by Mrs. F. Romig was presented by the young women of Middle Collegiate Church. Budget and Finances While the gifts of the Young Women have not reached the amount required in our Budget of $10,000.00, we feel that there is not lacking a real spirit of giving. Over $6,000 received directly from the Young Women’s societies as special Jubilee Offerings, and still other gifts for this purpose sent in through the women’s societies, together with many, many gifts for enterprises outside the Budget— all such gifts are encouraging evidence of the willingness to give to a cause worthy of sacrifice. Our part is to give to our young women information, inspiration that will be an incentive to a larger giving, a giving not only of money but of self. N e w York State Trip A trip through New York State in October, 1924, beginning in the western section at Clymer and continuing eastward, brought worthwhile contacts with many churches, large and small, and resulted in the immediate organization of at least four new girls’ and young women’s societies. During this trip the Field Secretary addressed nine Women’s Classical Missionary Union Conferences and seven young women’s gatherings, in various sections of the State. The Printed W o r d ' The Young Women’s Department has this year printed no new leaflets, rather using the material prepared late last year, together with the literature of the Women’s Boards bearing on the work in which the young women are interested particularly through their Budget. W e have tried to make very wise distribution of literature, to avoid waste as far as possible, and to put into active circulation new literature while it is still up-to-date. The Young W o m e n ’s Column in the “Christian Intelligencer,” for several years a monthly department, at the invitation of the Publica tion Council, has now become a weekly venture, beginning with the November 19th issue. It is our hope that it will prove a truly valuable medium through which to circulate among young women’s societies the good things that may be shared one with another. Suggestive programs and program material on the current mission study themes; letters from young women’s missionaries and descrip tions of their work in various fields; lists of good books and plays; ideas and methods; up-to-the-minute news of interest to young

Women— these are some of the things that have appeared this year in the Young Women’s Department, conducted by the Field Secre tary— ably assisted by Miss Julia Florahce, representing the W. B., D. M., and Miss Frances V. Voorhees, representing the W. B. F. M. There has been greatly increased’ activity in the sale of song books, missionary plays and pageants, study and reference books, and miscellaneous literature. Over two hundred people have written in and have been served with such material, and over $160 worth of business has been done. Sixty-five Dollars has been turned over to the Treasurer, $25.00 received in stamps has been applied to our own postage account, and the remainder has been used for the purchase of material from other Boards. : Office Activities It is interesting to note that the correspondence has been more than double that of last year. A number of friends who have regu larly written for and received help and advice, have testified to the helpfulness of such a “correspondence course.” Several new so cieties have been organized through these contacts, and other drooping societies have been revived by the renewed interest gained through the exchange of personal friendly letters. There are real possibilities, we feel, in the contacts made through letter-writing, where direct visitation is not possible or practicable^ N e w and Disbanded Organisations Our challenge given on every possible occasion— “Get the next younger group”— is bearing fruit. A large number of inquiries regarding children’s and juniors’ groups has resulted already in the formation of 13 new societies, and we feel there is a field here “ready unto the harvest.” The need isi for leaders and for practical and practicable helps for those who are willing, but' unprepared to lead such groups. ] There have been reported 55 young women’s and junior groups organized since our last report. Ten societies have been disbanded, three of which have become identified with the larger work of the women’s groups.. Although of necessity this report is brief and therefore in adequate, we have endeavored to include the most important events of the year as they relate to the girls and young women of our beloved Keformed Church. W e feel with one of the speakers of the Washington Convention, that “The Kingdom of God is nearer if we can harness the fearlessness, courage and praying capacity of the young women of this day.” All honor to the women who have built up this mighty missionary enterprise! May their mantles fall on shoulders willing and ready to take up :Christ’s great threefold com mission— “Look— Pray-— Go.” . i Someone said— and with this I close, for it applies just as truly to the young women as to those older in experience— “W e ought to work as though everything depended' oh us; we ought to pray as though everything depended on God.” : R M ildred L a n g , Field Secretary for Young W o m e n ’s Work.

THE BABY BOLL “When God makes a lovely thing, The fairest and completest, He makes it little, don’t you know— For little things are sweetest. Little birds and little flowers, Little diamonds, little pearls; But the dearest things on earth Are little boys and girls.” One of the joys of our Jubilee year is the fact that the gift of our little ones here will make more comfortable the “Pity Little Children’s Home” in China and the “Hospital Babies’ Home” in India. There has been sent to our Treasurer $679.62 towards the support of these two Homes. Among the 601 new members of the Baby Roll are five pairs of twins and also six missionary babies; Arabia, Alfred Pennings and Dorothy Harrison; Arcot Mission, India, Marjorie Van Vranken, our Jubilee baby, bom January 21st, and Eleanor Potter; Japan, Harold Hoekje and Boude Moore, the latter a great grandchild of Dr. James Ballagh. But there are still many auxiliaries which have never become in terested in this department of the work of our Board; and our hope is that many of these may, by enrolling the babies in their churches, help the little ones in China and India, who, but for our .missionaries would never be taught to know that “Jesus loves the little children.” •C aroline R a v e n M

THE SEWING GUILD The work of the Sewing Guild is so arranged that it is not possible to close its year with the other interests of the Board, so this report is not for the current year, but for the season of 1923-1924. The report of the Jubilee activities cannot be reported before 1926. The past months have been full of joyful service. There has not only been joy in the work, but in the friends that have been made at home and in the Fields. And the messages from near and far warm our hearts and inspire our hands to even greater service. It is not difficult to understand our success when we note the enthusiastic interest of even our smallest societies. One secretary writes: “Our active membership is very small; so our contribution is small also, but we send it with our loving prayers that the articles may fill a need.” Such cheering notes as these were numerous: “Another year our society has completed its work for the Sewing Guild. It has meant self-denial for some of us to prepare the box, but the joy of completion is more than satisfactory and we are glad to help.” “This is my first year as chairman,” writes another, “and I have enjoyed

the work so much. A great many hours of happy ministry on the part of our women go with this gift of love.” From one of our young women’s societies came a box of dolls for Hindu kiddies with this note pinned to them, “W e trust the youngsters may find as much pleasure with these dolls as jit gave the young women to dress them. Our working and praying has been a great blessing to our own society and we hope it may bring a blessing to others.” And from a new society we have this message, “The cards, dolls and one of the quilts were given by the children, who begged to be allowed to help and who were quite enthusiastic in dressing the dolls and piecing the quilt.” Age as well as youth finds something to do in this department of missionary work. In taking up a beautifully pieced quilt and several pairs of wristlets we found a wee slip of paper on which was written, “Made by old ladies over 80 years old.” Many letters tell of increased interest in the work. From the chil dren in the Junior Christian Endeavor Societies, the Sunday schools, Young Women’s Church League for Service, Mission Bands and the Women’s Societies comes the one testimony of joy in the service done in our Master’s name. , Last spring our storehouse in the ibasement was filled to over flowing. And later when the last doll had been securely packed, and the covers of the boxes put in their places ready to be nailed down, those who had been active during the weeks of unpacking, assorting and repacking experienced a feeling of unusual weariness, and to some of us came this question, “Is it worth while?” That question has been definitely answered— not by (ourselves but by that great quartet across the seas— India, China, Arabia and Japan. How all feelings of weariness and doubt disappeared as we caught the first message from India so full of joy and apprecia tion, and this is the message, “Last week the precious Sewing Guild boxes arrived, filling bungalow and istorerooms with their fra grance and filling our hearts with joy and gladness. You are certainly carrying out your purposes,; dear Lady of the Sewing Guild, and everything was lovely and icould not have been nicer! Thus with one voice said we all. H o w many times I blessed that fine pile of baby blankets! I do not know of anything that you send to India that meets the all-round needs of the people more in this cold weather than the little outing-flannel baby blankets. All the way from the tiny infant to the old grandfather or mother there is no more acceptable gift. The nurses and the patients receive them with delight, and use them as mufflers in the1cold evenings and mornings. I know positively that every blessed one; given out is a source of joy and comfort untold to the recipient, j The little frocks, too, are priceless and ever needed for our numerous babies. Thank you for the quilts, sheets, pillow-cases and towels. H ow greatly we need them, every one! And for the dear little work bags all fitted and ready for the Christmas tree! The petticoats and jackets fill a real need in the hospital. With the high cost of material nowadays many patients come in with garments unfit for hospital use and in such cases the petticoats make hospital work easy. W e have to

watch them very closely; otherwise, when the patient goes home, or if some of their friends are visiting them, a skirt or a sheet or a towel goes away rolled up in some forlorn looking parcel which we would never suspect, but by watchful care and much accounting we are able to make them last quite a while. W e try to prevent this all we can and even send our people to collect them— so great is our need. It is hard to make ends meet when everything costs so much, and we fear we are coming out at the small end of the hom this year; so your gifts are especially a blessing and comfort to us, help ing out in no end of ways. Kindly convey to those who contribute to the Sewing Guild my very grateful thanks for the boxes. I do not see how we could carry on without the help the Sewing Guild gives.” “I am perfectly delighted with all my things,” writes a busy teacher. “When the'boxes were opened I only allowed a few teachers to be present, as I wanted tokeep things secret. One of the native teachers said, ‘What a lot of pains they havetaken for us! W hy don’t we send them a box for a change!’ I told her I thought that was an excellent idea. The dresses for the little children are darling. The new colors and pattern's of gingham were hailed with admiration. The little suits that match are very effective. Many, many thanks for favors received, and hopes for more to come next year.” This very touching appeal comes to us from one of the villages in India: “May I, in the name of our poor and needy Christian community, thank you for last year’s box? Christ says, ‘The poor ye have always with you,’ and in india this is certainly true. The children are so poor. The rains have again been a complete failure and the poverty of the poor villagers cannot be described. They get scarcely enough food to exist. They do not live. The only food that most of the children get in these hard times is a hash which we feed to our cow, not with milk and sugar, but water and salt. The only cloth ing the children wear, if any, is an old rag handed down from their parents; so you can picture the joy when the Sewing Guild boxes arrive and are opened. From Arabia we receive this appreciative message, “W e Thank You!” Such a simple message, but the steamers would be sunk were the weight of appreciation and love loaded upon them. “Last week I had the pleasure of opening the box of your lovely supplies for us. I was so glad to get so many warm garments. There is much extreme poverty here and to be able to relieve some of it is such a help. It helps the people to appreciate Christianity when they realize that Christian women far away in America are thinking of them and help ing to make them comfortable. Please circulate a delighted ‘Thank You’ for all the hidden treasures of the Sewing Guild box.” A letter from a doctor in Arabia reads: “H o w I wish it were possible for me to tell you of the help your box gives to us all. And how our hearts were made glad at sight of the quantities of nice new bed linen and towels, the gauze, soap, bandages, caps and gowns, hot water bottles, rubber gloves, safety pins, quilts and blankets— all so sorely needed and so welcome.” From a school in China this word comes: “After the Christmas exercises the Sewing Guild presents

were distributed to the delighted children. Of course the gift most desired by every pupil, large or small, was a doll, and we were thankful to have so many. As many as we had though, many of them had to. be disappointed, but these were comforted when they received the new handkerchiefs or -wristlets. The baby blankets and slips are in great demand— we have so many new babies, and a blanket or slip means so’much to them. The dolls were lovely this year. One pair of tiny twin babies dressed in white caps and long white dresses, with pink ribbon for one and blue for the other,' have won my heart completely. It seems to me I never had a nicer box. Blessings on dear old mother Sewing”Guild. She looks well after the needs of her children and we truly love her.” Another writes: “Thanks, too, for all the daintily dressed dollies, from which it is plain to be seen that every American woman is an expert seamstress! Wonderful, indeed, are they in their love and devotion to do such marvelous things for us! To thank you fittingly we are quite unfit and unworthy, but we know that the Giver of all good gifts .will accept them as unto Himself, and that every bit of self-sacrifice and toil so unstintedly given are known to Him and will not go unblessed and unrewarded.” Dolls seem so little an object for missionary work, but they and the cards give us good bait to win the children. Last year about 2,785 dolls were packed and sent across seas,, and still the cry comes, “More dolls! more dolls!” ; This report would be incomplete without a story of the Christ mas festivities held which would not have been possible had it; not been for the Guild boxes: “On December 24th we had a Christmas tree and feast for the poor village Christians in Eastpet. W e v gathered in an open place near the schoolhouse and had torches; and rockets. The tree was loaded with jackets, baby slips, baby blankets and skirts. I wanted to put.some toys on it, but the pastor ■said ‘No, clothes would be so much more appreciated.’ So clothes it was — and almost every single thing out of our box! It was a happy hour, and you would have loved seeing tiny tots clasping a jacket or a towel close to their breasts, and in a minute or two appearing clothed in the garment, whatever it was.” And again we read: “On Christmas afternoon all our congregation came to the bungalow according to custom. W e had a nice little program, and then the tree was displayed. Quite a real Christmas tree it was tooi— -with dolls, and tin cups, rubber balls, mouth! organs, workbags, etc. Such chattering and jumping, as the children came up to get their presents. Then the big folks, too, well pleased with pads, pencils and note books. And the box supplied them all! Do you wonder we feel we cannot express our gratitude warmly enough? I wish every woman in our church at home who put a gift in our Sewing Guild box could know how happy she made some poor Indian women and children at this Christmas time. Now naturally, my Almirah is no longer ‘stuffed’; there are some pretty big gaps on the shelves. But the things were never meant to stay on the shelves, were they? And we know pur Serving Guild is still;active, and next autumn will bring us another gold mine.

With this year of blessedness in our thought here comes unfalter ing assurance of continued support for future days. Only let us work with constant prayer, with unfailing purpose, and with that high faith which, under God, shall make possible yet greater things in our Sewing Guild. “0 Master! Now the cares of life press close, So close and fast about, T would that we Forget them for a little while and go Out on the mountainside or by the sea, Where Thou art, as did the eager, seeking throng To see Thee and to sit close at Thy feet, Mayhap to touch Thee once— and then to. go Back to our tasks— more brave, more strong, more sweet.” M

memorial

membership committee

Your committee had confidently expected to report that the growth of our “family” of Life Members had exceeded that of last year and that there would be at least one member for each of the “Golden Jubilee” years, but we are obliged to say, we have fallen short, by nine. W e wonder— Why! . Have we as a committee been less solicitous concerning this branch of the work when talking to the Auxiliaries? If so, we are willing to be forgiven and pledge renewed efforts during the coming year. Your committee has no definite means of knowing how con scientiously the Life Members carry out the privileges of “Praying Mates,”— occasionally a letter comes which expresses appreciation of the appointment and an earnest purpose to fulfill the part. Should there be those who have neglected to complete the “circuit” between the Individual— the Missionary— the Work and God— and thereby failed to receive the thrill which comes from the divine “contact,” we earnestly hope they will no longer deprive themselves and the designated Missionary of the comfort and sustaining power which the “current” of definite prayer gives. Those who became “Jubilee” Life Members have enjoyed the satisfaction of having a part in speeding our “Jubilee” Missionaries to their fields of service. Loving friends have placed two names on the Memorial Member ship Roll this year and by that act have assisted in relieving bodily suffering in our hospitals in China— and who knows but relief from soul distress as well. A dauine W. S tillwell , Chairman.

The Fifty-first Anniversary

On Tuesday, May 19, 1925, the Woman’s Board of Foreign -Mis sions accepted the very cordial invitation of the First Reformed Church, Paterson, N. ij., to hold its Anniversary there. A delightful welcome was extended-, to those who attended, the warmth was evident to those who arrived, by train as they stepped from the cars. An audience which taxed the capacity of the large church gathered to hear of the efforts of the year, expressed in the opening hymn, to “Crown Him Lord o:.! All.” Rev. J. E. Mertz,,' pastor of the church, led the devotional service. In his words of welcome, Mr. Mertz referred to the 117 years of work of the First Q-lurch at home, and also abroad through one of its members and its representative, Rev. Henry Honegger, who gave his life for India. 1 In her response, Mrs. DeWitt Knox, President of the Board, ex pressed the pleasure of its members in the cordial friendliness of the First Church, and in the opportunity to look in the faces of the loyal women who give such splendid co-operation in the greatest service, planning, praying, giving— missionary women, belonging to a missionary denomination, as has been shown by their response in the Jubilee. The statement of the Treasurer, Miss Katharine Van Nest, was presented with deep gratitude. The Jubilee grand total, including the beautiful thankofifering, interest and receipts from sales, has amounted to $127,996.74, a portion of which has already been sent to the field for the Jubilee buildings. Contributions for the regular work have been $240,597.98, of which $26,444.63 was from legacies, and over $56,000.00 for special objects. The Board is happy to start its second half century with a dean sheet, and turns to the women and children of the Church to continue their support, remem bering what it means to their missionaries to hear the words, “Go forward,” and what it means to those who have not yet heard of Christ. ' Several missionaries were present, Ibringing messages from their fields. Miss D. M. Houghton gave the greetings of the women in Vellore, India, where she has supervision of the Schell Hospital and the Training School for Nurses connected with the Women’s Medical School. Miss Wilhelmina Noordyk, also a missionary nurse, superin tendent of the hospital at Ranipettai, reminded the Board of its flowers in India, the devoted Indian workers, Bible women, teachers, the school children whose happy child life is made possible by the women of America, the grateful patients in the hospitals. Mrs. Henry Poppen, Amoy Mission, brought greetings from the newest work of the oldest Mission. She told those to whom it may seem that missionary money is put in a hole in the ground, that she has been at the other end of the hole, has:seen it come out and used for schools, hospitals, homes, and the changes wrought with it in the North River District. !

Mrs. Genit J. Pennings, Arabian Mission, was the bearer of warm greetings and love and gratitude from the missionaries that they have been sent out to give the Gospel message, the fruit of which they are beginning to reap in each station. . Miss Dorothy Bailey, a Jubilee missionary, under appointment to India, was introduced. She goes “to take the love of God and the knowledge of Christ.” Miss Edith Y. Teets, of Perris Seminary, gave three graphic pic tures,— of the shack in the midst of utter desolation to which groups were wending their way to inquire about the re-opening of the Sem inary and to enroll— of the temporary barn-like buildings, with lack of equipment and place for activities of the school of 400 girls, but in which the spiritual side of the work has been continued— of the reception, in those same buildings, of the message from aci’oss the ocean that the Seminary would be rebuilt, when the girls laughed, cried, clapped their hands, and the Japanese teachers, who had prayed and trusted, with difficulty found words to express their joy. Mrs. Wm. Bancroft Hill, Secretary for Japan, spoke of the loyalty of the Alumnae of Perris, the oldest school for girls in Japan; it was shown in the dark days following the earthquake when they gave their cherished endowment fund for temporary buildings. M e m bers of the Mission consider the Seminary one of its strongest agencies for evangelization. Shall the fifty-five years of Christian influence, and the powerful impression of the faith and heroism of Miss Kuyper be allowed to be forgotten? A gift for a new site has been received, the Jubilee gift will supply residences for the mission ary staff; if each auxiliary will give something extra during the three years over which efforts to raise the amount needed will extend, sup porting their gifts with their prayers, Ferris can be rebuilt. All joined Rev. Edward Dawson, D.D., in the petition in his prayer, dedicating the offering, that God would make Ferris Seminary the special subject of His care. The last speaker of the morning was Mrs. John H. Warnshuis, M.D., who has been connected with the Medical School at Vellore. She told of women, representatives of every class, caste and creed, who are wielding a strong influence in New India. These women want the missionaries there and they need them, for many emancipated women do not know what to do with their power. Dr. Warnshuis spoke of the sacrificial gifts of village Christians, which mean, not pennies, but gifts of food, of life, of love, of service, and asked the searching question, “Dare we do less than the women in a little village, made powerful through the knowledge of Christ which we took to them?” The hospitable women of the church provided a most bountiful luncheon; while it was enjoyed an opportunity was given for friendly greetings to which attendants at the general meetings of the Board look forward. The afternoon session was opened with a hymn and prayer by Rev. J. Clarence Miller, in which the audience was led to see the

multitudes of sheep without a shepherd who need to be brought to the foot of the Cross. Miss R. Mildred Lang, Meld Secretary for Young Women’s Work, called attention to the fact that there is one girl to.eight women in missionary organizations. Where the interest and enthusiasm of girls has been aroused, when they are ready to be set on fire for missions, it is the part of the women to apply the torch and give them some thing to do. The Corresponding Secretary, Miss Eliza P. Cobb, made several announcements of changes in the personnel of the Board, about new Mission Study Books, including “Mfty Years in Foreign Fields,” the Summer Conferences, and Board publications. Intimate glimpses of the students of Ferris Seminary were given •by Mrs. E. S. Booth, who kindly substituted at the last minute for Miss Takemura, detained by Columbia University examinations. When girls enter the school they begin to serve in simple ways, and as they grow older and give themselves to Christ new avenues are opened; when they leave that spirit of service remains with them;, some are teachers, church workers, writers, wives of men stationed in other lands where they help promote a better understanding between nations, and heads of Christian homes in Japan. The members of the Alumnae are now starting a campaign! to raise money for the per manent Ferris. j f After the prayer offered by Rev. Simon Blocker, consecrating the contributions of the afternoon, Miss 0. H. Lawrence, on behalf of the Board and large company of guests moved a vote of thanks to the pastor and consistory of the First Church, and all the willing hands which had made the realization of a happy Anniversary exceed the anticipation, the ushers, organist, soloist, those who. had prepared and so cheerfully served the lunch. Thanks are also due Miss Dorothy Bailey for her very appropriate solo. ! The closing address of Rev. Milton T- Stauffer, now of the Student Volunteer Movement, on the expanding world movement of our church, was listened to with close attention. Mr. Stauffer stated that the most exacting period in Mission work is beginning. The Oriental has an increasing knowledge of what is happening in Western coun tries. The Chinese say, “You have never had a real Christian civili zation. You came to us with your things, and we liked them. To have men trained to handle your things, we adopted Western educa tion. To have a government sympathetic with the use of those things, we changed it. W e tried to adopt the philosophy of the West— to succeed, no matter how. Then the war came, and we decided that we did not want that civilization.” So the Chinese Renaissance, a move ment to build up something out of the best from their old system and thought and those of the West, started. What place will the ideals of Christ have in this structure? .They ask why Christians do not make things right in international relations. The Orientals have ceased to admit their inferiority and the Westerner’s “superiority.” They are passing through a period of adolescence that is difficult and requires patience with nations, even as:with individuals. They are

arriving at a creative period when they wish their own hymns, set to their own music, and their own translation of the Bible. The part of the missionary today, is' to give them simply the teachings of Christ, and to encourage them, welcoming their efforts, under the guidance of the Spirit, remembering that the Kingdom of our Lord will not be complete until every nation and race has made its con tribution. Mr. Stauffer gave those who heard him much food for thought as they united in the hymn “A Charge to Keep I have.” With the Benediction pronounced by Rev. G. J. DeWitt, the Fifty-first Anni versary of the Woman’s Board ended. Truly, it was good for us to be there; if our Lord will, we will build tabernacles for Him in China, India, Japan, Arabia, in which He shall be lifted up, that all may be drawn unto Him. .
