F r o m this place Mrs. E. G.

TWENTY-NINTH ANNUAL REPORT '

OF T H E

CORRESPONDING SECRETARY* ‘

'• ^ _ _ L-J‘ ‘ ff ; - A ' * ■ ■'* ■■;‘s ' j. * - .*.-j F o r the first time in the history of the:. W o m a n ' s B o a r d of F o r eign Missions an unskilled han d presents this, the Twenty-ninth A n n u a l Report. V e r y soon after the.meeting of the General S y n o S ’* of last year, that brave heart, so attuned to high endeavor, began,tp beat less regularly, a n d through the s u m m e r w e w h o were privil eged to minister could but note the fading of that bright spirit. T w a s in the early evening of October 28th, G o d took to Himself our dearly loved Corresponding Secretary, Mrs. Cushing; but life has not closed for her. A s a Church and a W o m a n ' s B o a r d w e are the richer for such a life lived a m o n g us, and it can but in spire and stimulate to higher and m o r e purposeful service. D a y by day w e realize that her w o r d s and deeds will ever live a m o n g us, while she has gone before, and is "serving H i m day and night/' “Our loved w h o have entered In thro’ the gates Have only passed out of sight; Have been called from the work of the shadows To the higher service in light.”

Necessarily this report can but be of a fragmentary nature. W e are deeply indebted to Miss VanNest, the Secretary pro. tern, for the first six months of the year. O w i n g to her careful oversight and insight, the w o r k w a s kept well in hand, and “the daily round, the c o m m o n task,” a n d minor details executed with an efficiency and patience that glorified this labor of love. There have been days of gray a n d days of gold in this another year w o v e n into God's plan for the redemption of the world. F o r a second time death invaded our M a n a g e r ’s circle, a n d w e miss Mrs. L. B. Halsey's genial presence, her hopeful spirit, and loyal consecration fro m our midst. T h e han d of sorrow has touched the hearts a n d h o m e s of m o r e than one of our M a n a g e r s this year, a n d to these our sisters sitting in the shadow, but not

without the comfort of God's sustaining love; w e give once m o r e the assurance of the love that binds, a n d that for t h e m there has been the sympathizing tear. * Classical Committees.

Closely identified with our w o r k a n d interests are our Classical . Committees, a m o n g w h o s e number, o w i n g to removals and resig nations there have been s o m e changes. T h e faithfulness of these ^ w o m e n in thcfr several ‘Classes' a n d Churches m a k e possible the year’s-success.

D u r i n g the'year the interests a n d influence of this organization . has enlarged-its'scope by forming Branches.'.in*;the Particular ■ Synods of Chicago a n d Albany. T h e initial meeting of the former . w a s fittingly called while Mrs. Burrell w a s in Michigan. - F o r ; i .weeks prior tO her expected"visit, 'Mrs. C."V. 'R. Gilmore," our “l i

highly prized honorary Vice-President, had been selecting from the various churches the y o u n g w o m e n , w h o on the evening desig nated m e t at her h o m e in Holland, w h e n the Branch of the P a r ticular S y n o d of Chicago w a s organized. O n e m o n t h later the one in the Particular S y n o d of Albany w a s formed, in which valuable aid w a s rendered by Mrs. William B. Jones, on honorary Vice President. T h e importance of these “small beginnings" cannot be overestimated, for the Branches are an integral part of our Board, and they will gather strength and scatter blessings as the w o r k spreads, and their influence deepens. T h e Branch of the Particular Synods of N e w Y o r k and N e w Brunswick has developed.in several ways, and m e t with success in its overtures to the m o r e remote Classes. T h e future hope of our W o m a n ' s Board is in these organizations of y o u n g w o m e n , w h o are n o w laying deep and strong the foundations of the bridge that will appear above the surface, and will in c o m i n g days be the h i g h w a y that will span for us the distance “to the uttermost parts, of the earth." Joint Conferences.

U n d e r the direction of the Field Secretary, Rev. J. W . Conklin, in m a n y Classes, Missionary Conferences have been held, and Miss Susan R. Duryee, an honorary Vice-President, has ably repre sented the W o m a n ' s Board, and given inspiriting help on all lines of w o m a n ’s work. . T h e Mission Gleaner;

O u r official organ, is one of the efficient helpers in solving the present day missionary problems. T h r o u g h the missionaries let ters w e learn to k n o w them, and their work, and learn, too, h o w to pray for them, thus sharing in “their w o r k and the joy of their reward." The Day

Star,

Tha t attractive and interesting paper for our girls and boys should be in every home. It is essentially their “very o w n " paper, and gives t h e m wha t they can have in no other w a y concerning their less fortunate brothers and sisters. Mission B a n d leaders, Junior Christian Endea v o r Superintendents, and Sunday-school teachers w ould find it a valuable adjunct in interesting the.children. Leaflets.

T h e series of leaflets, one for each of our four fields, published a year ago> has had a second edition in the Holland language and

n o w through the kindness of Rev. M r . Barny, the set has been translated into German. Tha t this w o r k of translation has been appreciated let the m a n y kind w o r d s testify. O n e g o o d brother wrote, “K e e p on translating such leaflets, they will d o g o o d w o r k for the cause.” B u t three n e w leaflets have been printed: “T h e M o n t h l y Topics for Missionary Meetings,” by Miss R. V. Z. Cobb. “ Chiang-Chiu,” and “T h e Ideal Missionary Society.” These last are k n o w n as T h e Y o u n g W o m a n ’s Branch Leaflets. “ Mariarl's Escape” a n d “A Sister’s M e s s a g e ” have been reprinted. United Study of Missions.

G r o w t h in w o r k is due to growth in knowledge. If the w o m e n in our churches and auxiliaries w o u l d fall in line with the United Study of Missions, which is the greatest m o v e m e n t yet organized for missionary study, their interest w o u l d be vastly intensified. T h e second book in the scries, L u x Christi, being upo n India, should incite our perusal. W e urge upo n the societies w here possible to undertake a systematic course of study, either the one just indi cated, or in the exceedingly helpful one as arranged by Miss C o b b ’s leaflet, “'The Mon t h l y Topics.” Birthday Reception.

These two, at least, w e should include in our next year’s estimated work. F o r them, the Foreign Secretaries, those royal w o m e n w h o given time, energy and heart, are hoping m e r e is a quaint custom in old Galacia, w here they greet one another, not with the familiar stereotyped salutations, but “G o d help the work,” and w e add, “Bless the workers” far a n d near, for there are “m a n y lives, unnoticed and u n k n o w n , that are con tributing by their quiet deeds of self-sacrifice and devotion the sweetest tones in the harmonies which praise our God.” It is an inspiration to belong to an organization that girdles the world with Divine influences, and n o w inspiration m u s t crystallize into action, for w e stand pledged to continue His w o r k ; “And till every tribe and nation B o w before His throne, H e expecteth loyal-service From His own."

A t a meeting of the M a n a g e r s of the W o m a n ’s B o a r d of F o r eign Missions held on D e c e m b e r 9th, 1902, the following minute w a s adopted regarding the death of Mrs. A. L. Cushing, late Corresponding Secretary of the Board. Since the last meeting of the M a n a g e r s of the W o m a n ’s B o a r d of Foreign Missions, R. C. A., it has pleased the L o r d to remove fro m a m o n g us our beloved Secretary, Mrs. M a r y A. Cushing. Assembled in this room, which she so long graced by her presence, and w h e r e she has so unweariedly labored, w e desire to place o n record our grateful tribute to her m e m o r y and worth, and our deep sense of loss in her departure fro m us. F o r fourteen years, as Corresponding Secretary, she has given herself unreservedly and with whole-hearted devotion to the service of the Board, of the Church, and of our missionaries. A t her c o m i n g in 1888, the B o a r d had but 230 auxiliaries in all the churches. S h e lived to see their n u m b e r increased to 573, thus nearly realizing her strong desire to have an auxiliary in every church. T o this result, while efficiently aided by others, she contributed m u c h b y her pen a n d her prayers. F r o m the time that R o o m 10 w a s opened in the R e f o r m e d C h u r c h Building, it b e c a m e the centre of the B o a r d ’s activities a n d influence, and a rallying point for its friends. It witnessed alike the tireless energy born of love, with which she pursued her work, as well as the gracious manner, kindly welcome, thoughtful s y m pathy, a n d Christian courtesy which m a d e it attractive to m e m

bers of the Board, to all our missionaries, and to multitudes of friends throughout the church. H e r knowledge of the w o r k and of the C h u r c h m a d e her an in valuable guide a n d counsellor in all plans for aggressive effort, while, w h e n once adopted, she cheerfully spent herself in seeking to put t h e m into execution. W e bless G o d for the privilege of association with her for so long, that H e lent her to this service for so m a n y years, a n d so abundantly fitted her for, a n d blessed her in it. A n d while w e sorrow most of all that w e shall see her face n o more, w e yet re joice in the assurance that while she rests fro m her labors her w orks d o follow her. M rs. Ja n e A.

A second time is the W o m a n ’s B o a r d bereaved of another of its valued members. Mrs. L. B. Halsey w a s elected a m a n a g e r in the year 1895, a n d w a s immediately recognized as a “strong staff a n d a beautiful rod.” S u c h she proved to be, until disease laid its han d upo n her. S h e w a s for the last year or m o r e r e m o v e d f r o m active service. Still in the seclusion of her h o m e she continued her w o r k as Wes t e r n correspondent until at last forced to relin quish that also, she w a s called fro m earthly w o r k to heavenly activities. A t a M a n a g e r ’s meeting held o n D e c e m b e r 9th, it w a s R esolved, T h a t it is with feeling of deepest sadness that we receive the announcement of the death of our beloved Manager, Mrs. L. B. Halsey, w h o has been associated with the W o m a n ’s B o a r d of Foreign Missions for the past seven years. W e recall her bright personality, her loving service, her everready gifts for the support of the work. H e r judgment, clear, unbiased, practical, w a s always a potent factor, a n d w e shall miss her presence a n d her counsels. In the prime of life, G o d took her to Himself, a n d w e can only say,“T h y will be done.” — F r o m Mission Gleaner, Jan. a n d Feb.

SUMMER SEWING GUILD. It is with a note of pleasure w e present the report of the S u m m e r S e w i n g Guild, because the w o r k has s h o w n advance along every line. Eight years a g o the Guild began its loving ministry of lifting fro m our missionaries, as far as it could, the burden of providing clothing for the girls in the boarding schools in India, and of plan ning for gifts for Christmas a n d prize-giving in China, India and Japan. A s the years passed on the w o m e n and children in Arabia a n d the hospitals have h a d their share of help fro m the hands of this ready ban d of helpers and to-day the m e m b e r s of the Guild m a y feel that the help they give is indispensable to s o m e of our missionaries. A n ever increasing n u m b e r of auxiliaries is at w o r k during the winter months. W o r d c o m e s of a little group of five farmers* wives w h o wen t through winter s h o w to lend their aid in the sewing, because in the s u m m e r they were too busy in the fields and . they m u s t have their share in the work. F r o m the children in the Junior Christian E n d e a v o r Societies, the girls in the Mission Bands, the y o u n g w o m e n , a n d the W o men's Auxiliaries c omes the one testimony of joy in this simple service done in our Master’s name. Letters tell of increased in terest in the general w o r k a n d a broadened outlook through this active service. O n e secretary tells thus of the pleasure side of the w o r k : “T h e y o u n g ladies did not dress the dolls, only the old ladies, s o m e with very white hair at that, a n d w e h a d a very pleasant time doing them.” A n o t h e r : “I hope m y package can be forwarded without unpack ing, for I put a g o o d bit of love in that part of the w o r k a n d d o not wan t it lost by rehandling.” ■ Ninety-nine Auxiliaries a n d sixteen individual givers united in a gift of 4885 garments a n d useful articles, beside basted patch work, a n d m o r e than one thousand rolled bandages. T h e gift for

transportation and expenses a m o u n t e d to $81.04, leaving a deficit of $4.84. There w a s just a shade of disappointment here, but the advance on last year’s a m o u n t w a s so m a r k e d w e feel sure the receipt of the full a m o u n t needed will be the triumph of another year. Last a u t u m n as these gifts were received the packing committee w o r k e d day after day, early a n d late, until each article w a s assigned its proper place and packed in boxes and sent to the Mission stations in India, Japan and Arabia. It w a s with deep regret that w e crossed China off our list, but because of the high duties the mis sionaries have to pay on goods fro m Ame r i c a it w a s d e e m e d right. T h e limits of this report are too short to give all the w o r d s of appreciation which c o m e to us as the gifts are received by our mis sionaries. A few extracts mus t suffice. F r o m India a missionary writes: " T h e boxes from the S e w i n g Guild arrived about t w o weeks ago. I w a s glad to see t h e m for m y stock of s o m e of the garments w a s very low, a n d the jackets were all used u p before school closed for Christmas. S o the ar rival of the n e w supply w a s a great comfort. Everything is just right, as nice as it could be. A n d n o w h o w can I express m y thanks to the S u m m e r S e w i n g Guild. I can only say again, w h a t I have said before, the garments are a very great help to us, a great saving of money, and labor, and of anxiety. It is such a comfort to k n o w w e need take no thought for the ’clothing of our girls so long as w e have this bountiful supply.” A n o t h e r : “I w a n t to extend m y hearty thanks for the generous supply of useful clothing for our Girls’ Boarding School, for the patient interest in us that set stitch after stitch in the hot s u m m e r vacation for our benefit. Joyfully a n d proudly I stocked m y “Almiras” (wardrobe) at school last week, a n d with a satisfied heart set the doors wide open o n Saturday and doled out of m y wealth to needy applicants. Since it is m o r e blessed to give than to receive, there m u s t be s o m e very blessed h appy hearts in the S u m m e r S e w i n g Guild, if they are happier than I, the recipient of their bounty.” F r o m Japan: “O n m y return fro m one of the villages where w e w o r k I found the box. Late as it w a s m y Bible w o m e n and I could not wait until m o r n i n g to open it; with h a m m e r s and hatchet w e soon had it opened a n d enjoyed looking over the con tents. I thank all w h o have helped with all m y heart.”

F r o m Arabia: “O u r wants this year were well supplied a n d w e thank the noble a r m y of workers for supplying our need.” A large proportion of the gifts w a s sent to the hospitals in India and Arabia. • Could they walk through the wards the m e m bers of the Guild w ould see evidences of their handiwork on every side. O n e of the doctors writes: “Before giving our n e w wants I wish to a d d m y w o r d of appreciation for the interest taken by the S e w i n g Guild in our work. W e have been wonderfully pleased and encouraged b y the w a y in which the needs of the hospitals have been met.” A n o t h e r : “T h e buying and planning and sewing for this year's hospital supplies ■has been almost nothing compa r e d with last year, and such a relief as it has been y o u could scarcely imagine without c o m i n g and seeing. F o r myself I thank y o u a n d for the multitude of suffering humanity for w h o m you have done so m uch.” H o w the missionaries have been helped at Christmas and Prize Giving times, t w o extracts will s h o w : “Christmas w a s a very busy time here a n d the dolls, mufflers, wristlets, etc., were given as prizes for attendance at the Church Sunday-school. T h e children wer e m a d e very happy. M a n y of t h e m looked u p o n a Christmas tree for the first time. I thank most heartily all w h o by their loving thoughts a n d busy fingers have kindly provided gifts and rewards for our large family of Japanese children.” A missionary in India writes: “T h e dolls, picture cards, needle books and the fine w o r k bags with their scissors,needles and thread are all most acceptable a n d will help us wonderfully w h e n Prize Giving comes. I a m sure all our school girls w o u l d like to send their salaams with min e to the m e m b e r s of the S u m m e r S e w i n g Guild. W h a t are our wishes for 1903? T h e continued support of the friends w h o have helped in the past a n d n e w recruits from those w h o have not k n o w n the pleasure of this extra offering, which w e bring fro m love to H i m w h o has said, “I n a s m u c h as ye have done it unto one of the least of these ye have done it unto Me.” K atharine V a n N est, Secretary.

REPORT OF BABV ROLL, 1903. “Suffer little children and forbid t h e m not to c o m e unto me, for of such is the k i n g d o m of heaven.” This is the text on the m e mbership cards of the “B a b y Roll” and it certainly seems as though m a n y of our mothers have the w ords of the dear Saviour on their hearts. T h r o u g h the “B a b y Roll” they are doing H i s w o r k not only with the little ones at home, but the m o n e y received through its efforts goes toward sup porting the Children’s H o m e at A m o y ; China. T h e w o r k this year has been m o r e encouraging than ever, and to-day there are eleven hundred and twenty-nine n a m e s o n the list, an increase during the year of about three h u n d r e d . ' T o m a n y of our mothers this w o r k has appealed very strongly a n d s o m e personal letters have been very touching. T h e y see m pleased to contribute to foreign missions through this means, a n d are h appy that in this w a y their little ones can be of s o m e use in the M a s ter’s kingdom. M a y G o d incline the hearts of m a n y m o r e of the dear “Mothers in Israel” to use this m e a n s of bringing their little ones early into the L o r d ’s service, thus helping to fulfill their promise of seeing their children brought u p in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.

W i t h this report the Y o u n g W o m a n ’s Branch in the Particular Synods of N e w Y o r k a n d N e w Brunswick closes its second year of work, a year of growth and enlargement of interest and in fluence. A t its very beginning, the w o r k which h a d been wholly in our hands w a s divided Synodically, and t w o n e w Branches were organized, one in the Particular S y n o d of Chicago at Holland, M i c h . ; and one in the Particular S y n o d of A l b a n y at Albany. T h e w o r k w a s taken u p in both places with m u c h enthusiasm

and our local Branch w a s relieved of a large portion of its work, being left in charge of the w o r k in the Synods of N e w Y o r k and N e w Brunswick only. W i t h these changes came, too, s o m e alterations in our m e t h o d of w o r k and the adoption of a n e w plan, by which w e have one y o u n g lady from each classis, as a m e m b e r of our Branch, and through her w e are in direct communication with a representative of our w o r k in each individual church. W e arc already feeling the bene ficial results pi this change, although it has taken earnest and per sistent effort to secure our representatives. Seven lines of y o u n g people’s w o r k have been placed in the hands of the Branch and these have been followed up faithfully, a n d w e can report an increase of interest and support along most of these lines of work. T h e K i n g ’s Daughters* Circles in our t w o Synods have in creased the a m o u n t given toward Miss D e y o ’s support; the printed appeal for the w o r k at Chiang Chiu, issued by the Branch, has met with an encouraging response; Sunday-schools and other y o u n g people's organizations have been urged to contribute for various special objects, and three n e w Boys' Bands have been organized. It has also been part of our w o r k to encourage a m o n g the’y o u n g people in our denomination an interest in the w o r k of the S u m m e r S e w i n g Guild, and to increase the circulation of the Mission Gleaner and D a y Star. It has been our pleasure to be of assist ance to the W o m a n ' s B oard in furnishing part of the p r o g r a m for Ladies' D a y at General S y n o d and in assisting on other A n n i versary occasions. O u r fiscal report furnishes the following’figures: King's Daughters' Circles for Miss D e y o . . . . . . . . . . . $206 08 Mission B ands for Chiang C h i u . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 160 00 Individual Gift for General W o r k . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1 00 Total.’. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $367 08 W e hope that with the reports from our Sister Branches the total figures m a y far excell those of last year.

to the c o m i n g year with the hope that w e m a y be the h u m b l e m e a n s of doing m u c h to further both at h o m e and abroad the cause of the Master ‘‘w h o s e w e are and w h o m w e serve.” A lice P ool, Secretary.

T h e Y o u n g W o m a n ’s Branch of the Particular S y n o d of Albany w a s organized b n N o v e m b e r 7th, 1902, for the purpose of assist ing the W o m a n ’s B o a r d of Foreign Missions in all its lines of work, b y creating a n d strengthening an interest in Foreign M i s sions, especially a m o n g the y o u n g w o m e n of our church. T h e list of m e m b e r s n u m b e r s eighteen. T h e chairmen of the several committees have been earnest and faithful, and the s u m of $105.20 has been given to the Treasurer for the few m o n t h s work. This is surely encouraging to us for the c o m i n g year. Jennie A. S e w a l l , Secretary.

THE CRUSADERS. Early in 1903 Miss Rita V. Z. Cobb, ever on the alert to cap ture the boys in our B a n d s and Sunday-Schools, conceived the idea of “T h e Crusaders," the outline of which is given in detail below.. H e r plan received the immediate approval of the W o m a n ' s B oard of foreign Missions. F r o m a scheme to interest boys to one that should take in the girls as well w a s a rapid step. T h e next m o v e w a s m o r e radical, neither m o r e nor less than an invitation to the W o m e n ' s Executive Committee, B oard of Domestic M i s sions, to join their forces with ours, that the children of t h c C h u r c h might have one organization through which to w o r k for the con version of the world. All hail the n e w Crusade of Y o u t h ! W e bespeak for it the sympathy a n d co-operation of pastors, su perintendents and all friends of Missions. There should be a c o m pan y of Crusaders in every Church. C lara de F. B urrell , Pres. W . B. F. M .
